Chapter 3: Flash of the Blade

(Y/N)'s POV

I was currently hanging out in ORC clubroom with several of my Peerage and Rias's after the end of school hours. Bill was busy writing his journal besides me as I glanced at the Dream Demon. "Okay, what are you writing in that book?" I asked, gaining some of the member reaction. "You've been writing all the time after we almost changed body back at Ouma's world."

"La, la, la, la! La, la, la, la! Ouma's World!" Kokichi sang out loud, parodying it from a certain kids show about a red furry doll.

"Stop that." I glared at the black-haired boy which he stuck his tongue out. "You been singing it about an hour."

"You know, (Y/N) is right." Kalawarner called out as she put down a book on her lap. "I'm curious to know the content of the book that you wrote."

"Well, it's not ready yet." Bill said as he closed the book and tucked it in his right pocket. "But one day, you will get to see it. Just not today."

"Alright. I'll be anticipating it." I told him before hearing a knock to the door. "Who's that?"

"The door." Kokichi sarcastically replied, making me stare at him in annoyance.

Akeno made her ways to the door and opened to reveal...oh fuck no...not them. "Um...hello, is this a Occult Research Club?" Dipper said, adjusting his hoodie. He looks eager to meet us for some reason with his big bag in his hand. Behind him was his twin sister who was standing beside him with the same enthusiastic manner as her brother.

"Yes, it is." Rias replied as she stood up from her desk and made her way towards the Pines Twins. "Ah, you're the new kids!"

"Yeah, it's us alright." Mabel grinned happily as she pointed her right thumb at her while her left arm wrapped around Dipper's neck, who is slightly taller than her.

"And we would like to ask permission to join the club." Dipper smiled at them. Well, our respond was...filled with silent as we all stared at them, creeping them out for a minute. "I-Is there something on my face?"

"I'm sorry, could you gave us a minute!" I immediately appeared beside the red-haired devil before slamming the door shut. We all looked at each other and start doing a panic hand-signal to handle the situation with Issei, Asia and Mikan getting more and more confuse by our movement.

'What was that?!' Kokichi screamed mentally.

'No freakin' idea.' I shrugged my shoulder with single sweat drips down my forehead. "Have any human asked for this question before?'

'Yes,' Rias nodded her head. 'But, mostly the boys want to hang out with us. This one is different. He have no sense of lust but knowledge radiating from his body.'

'...He's different than Issei...' Koneko commented.

'Definitely.' Mittelt agreed with Koneko as Issei fall down on his knees, feeling all depressed and sorrow.

'You guys don't need to say that to me you know.' Issei cried out.

'So, what's should we do?' I looked at the Heiress of Gremory. 'Deny their offer? Because if they're in the same room with Bill, it will be an apocalyptic event in this very room.'

'Does everyone agree with (Y/N) suggestion?' Rias looked at the rest of the club members.

'Why don't we just give them a chance?' Asia raised her hand.

'Gotta disagree with that, Asia.' Kokichi told her.

"Hello, are you done discussing?" Mabel knocked the door as we all looked at it. "Dipper cursed at that boy who slammed the door to his face! That's rude y'know!"

"Sorry, wasn't meant to do that." I lied to them before earning a judging look by everyone in the room. "What?'

"We just have to decline them then." Rias said she made her way to the door. She turned the knob of the door and swing it opened to reveal Dipper who was holding his nose while wincing in pain as Mabel giggled at the sight of her brother's pain. "I'm sorry but we have to decline with those offer. We're currently aren't accepting any more new member."

"Kill them!" Bill screamed, starting Cipher's Peerage as they tried to ignore the raging humanoid Dorito. "Kill both of them, now! This is an order!"

"For all mighty and powerful Dream Demon, he still got his ass kicked by kids and their great uncles." Kokichi snickered, earning a death glare from Bill.

"What did you say brat?! I owned you."

"No, I'm no one servant!" Kokichi hissed at the Dream Demon. "I'm a free demon. So fuck yourself."

"Well, that's a bummer." Mabel sighed in defeat before looking at her twin. "Come on, broseph. We can try it next year-"

"No! I will not accept this!" Dipper stubbornly looked at them with a determined expression. "I have some good theories and some interesting conspiracies that I can show you about this town and our places."

"Sorry, my brother is really a fanatic to all of this supernatural thing." Mabel did a jazz hand as she explained it.

"More like obsessed." Issei murmured with Kokichi nodding his head in agreement.

"Here, I have some proof on some strange anamolies happening at my Great Uncle Ford place." Dipper pulled out a red book from his back with a gold handprint of a man with six finger and a number one it. "This is the Journal created by my very own Great Uncle Ford and all of his research were all in it."

"I gonna burn that boy with the book together in a big flames." Bill muttered, glaring at the boy with the Zodiac tattoo on his hand.

"Hmm, interesting." Rias said as she flipped on some of the pages of the Journal.

"It gets better, it he have created at least three volume of it. Explaining all the details of mysteries that happen at a place called Gravity Falls back in America."

"Yeah, every summer at Gravity Falls, we have to deal with all sorts of crazy random stuff that Dipper always tried to capture." Mabel told them. "One time we met a beautiful unicorns...but turns out they are a bunch of jerks. I almost got married with Gnome clan."

"With what now?" Kokichi asked, a bit weird by her claims.

"She almost married your cousin." I joked, earning a teary eyes from short rapscallion of the group.

"Why you gotta be so mean to me?"

"Hey, the roasting machine never stop. Like how's your joke always...short-lived!"

"Well, there's that time we discover a whole cave of alive dinosaurs!" Mabel exclaimed.

"But we did seal it tight or it will be Jurassic Park all over again." Dipper said as he flipped the pages of a book. "But the most dangerous being we ever fought was this..." He showed us a picture of Bill Cipher with some incantation it. All of us got a bit tensed when we saw the drawing. "Bill Cipher. He once tried to take over the world...but our Great Uncle Stan decided to sacrifice himself by making a fake deal with Bill while Great Uncle Ford destroy that Evil Triangle with a Memory Eraser gun."

"Wow, totally believable story." Kokichi rolled his eyes.

"Yeah...sounds fake to me..." I nervously laughed and fixating my collar.

"I have also decided to follow my Great Uncle Ford footsteps and decide to travel out and discover something mystery and put it all in Journal number 4!" Dipper pulled out the book.

"Like I said, broseph love his conspiracies and theorist." Mabel smiled. "We aslo dubbed always as the Mystery Twins."

"How cute." Akeno compliment as she giggled at it the name. She then put her hand on her chin. "But I want to know, why Mabel called you Dipper?"

"Yeah, aren't your name is Mason back at the class?" Issei asked them.

Mabel put her hand on her mouth, trying to hold off her laugh while Dipper sighed in defeat. "I knew you guys going to ask that question..." He opened his hat and lifted the bang off his hair. We all looked at his forehead and saw a big birthmark on his forehead that ridiculously looked like a constellation known as a Big Dipper. "My birthmark."

"The Big Dipper..." I slowly muttered.

"And I thought your parent hate you." Mittelt said out loud, earning a sweatdrop from the others with her honest brutality.

"Well, those this convince you to let us join the club?" Dipper asked in a serious tone as he narrowed his eyes at Rias.

"So, you're motivation to join the club is to gain more knowledge?" Rias asked the boy.

"Definitely."

Rias then turned the brown-haired girl. "How about you?"

"Well, I came here just to accompany my brother." Mabel gave a cute smile at them. "I love to do those adventuring stuff while trying to find love at the same time. Speaking off, I heard that a cute hottie is in this club. So, why not kill two birds with one stone?"

We all deadpanned at her ridiculous answer with Rias cleared her throat before giving them a warm smile. "Alright then. We will give it a consideration." She told them, giving a slight of hope to the male as he gleefully smiled.

"You mean it?" Dipper asked her which she only nodded. "Yes!"

"Consideration, Pinetree." I called out before realize that I just called him by a nickname. Dipper and Mabel got startled when they heard me call him that as they stare at me. Dipper have a slight curiosity and shock while Mabel slightly scared. "Sorry about that. Your hat have a picture of a pinetree...so I decide to call you that..." I half-lied to them. It's true that Dipper have a logo of a pinetree, but he was also the one of the Zodiac.

"Right...you remind me of someone..." Dipper said with a narrowed eyes as my back started to sweat a bit. He then decided to shrug it off and stood up from his couch. "Well, at least we got ourselves some good news. Aren't I'm right, Mabel?"

"I don't mind really." Mabel chirped as she stood and followed her twin towards the entrance of the clubroom. "Thanks for spending your time with us."

"No problem." Rias says as she crossed her arms under her chest. "We will tell you about your acceptance to our club. We might do some discussion about this matter before we can fully accept you as our club members."

"We understand." Dipper smiled at her. "We'll be waiting for the day. Have a good day, everyone."

"Have a good day, Pines." We both bid a farewell as they walked out of the room. I then let out a sigh of relief, planting myself in the couch as the rest of the members stares at me.

"There's something on my face?" I asked them, raising my eyebrow slightly in confusion.

"Pinetree?" Issei asked me as I shrugged my shoulder.

"I don't know. It just...reaction. I got used to Bill calling him that nickname every day in my room."

"Oh, I'm sorry that the hate towards that freaking family runs in your blood." Bill Cipher rolled his visible eye before looking away from us. "I was almost a couple of second to blow him into pieces...but that tattoo...."

"You mean that Zodiac tattoo?" Kokichi shakes his hand around. "What did have to do with anything?"

"Well, for some reason. That tattoo block my channeling of my magic." Bill explained with his eyes closed.

"Sounds bullshit to me."

"I know right?"

I rolled my eyes before looking out of the window. I don't know why...but I felt that there's something more to Dipper than meets the eye.

Third Person's POV

Dipper and Mabel walked forward towards the entrance of the school gates as the boy pulled out his Journal 4 book before opening a page with words written on it. "My suspiscion is correct." Dipper said as he wrote something on the book. "I sense a familiar aura around (Y/N)."

"Dipper, please don't involve them in your crazy conspiracies theories." Mabel said as she put her hand on his shoulder. "They seems like a nice peoples to hang out." She then glanced at his tattoo. "Since you received that...thing on your hand. You become more aware with the supernatural stuff."

"Thanks Great Uncle Ford for this miracle." Dipper grinned with the Zodiac on his hand slightly glows a bit. "But seriously Mabel, there's something that (Y/N) is hiding from us. Not just him, the rest of the ORC. And it up to us to solve this mystery."

"The Mystery Twins is back!" Mabel pumped her fist in the air.

Unbeknownst to them, Orion was leaning on a tree and heard the conversation between the twins. "I just hope that they didn't get into troubles involving them." The boy looked to his side and saw a male with a neatly combed hair as he walked towards him. "Thanks for showing me around the school today, Yusuke."

The black-haired boy, Yusuke, smirked at him. "Well, as your senpai, it's my duty to take care of my underling."

"Oi, I'm still your leader though."

"I'm not counting you as one though. I joined you just because Kurumi is my adopted sister." Yusuke told him as he walked pass the mixed-colored hair boy. "Just like you, I'm also interested on that Cipher boy."

Orion raised his eyebrows in confusion before slightly chuckle. "Whatever you say Yusuke...now where the hell those two idiots went..." He then deadpanned, realizing that he shouldn't left two of his most obnoxious teammates alone together. "I hope they didn't break my apartment." He was about to walk away but he felt a strong presence around him. He quickly turned his body around, only to see nothing unusual behind him. He narrowed his eyes a bit before walking away from the place.

(Y/N)'s POV

It was evening as I am currently walking with an irritated Sona Sitri as she rubbed her temples. "What's the matter, Sona?" I asked her with a gentle smile.

"Remember the new kid that arrive a couple of days ago?" Sona looked at me.

"Which one?"

"The one that came in the Student Council room."

"Ah, Tyrion Foster." I nodded my head slowly, remembering the day we met him. "Let me guess, he gave you a lot of troubles?"

"He done a lot more than a trouble." Sona let a sigh of frustration, putting her hand on her face. "Not even a week and he already got himself into a lot of fight with some gang from other school."

"Well, judging by his build...I guess he got himself in a fight pretty frequent back at Norway." I deducted, giving a slight chuckle as she shook her head.

"That doesn't mean that he can randomly shows up at other school and beat them up into pulp. And that's not all...he done a bunch of collateral damage which is humanly impossible."

"What, he ripped off a signboard and hit people with it?" I sarcastically said before looking at serious Sona. I gawked in shock when she slowly nodded her head from my sarcastic remark. "FOR REAL?"

"He threw a mailbox, ripped a stop signboard from the sidewalk and destroy a concrete wall of someone shop in one fight." Sona grumbled. "And the school have to pay for the damage from that."

"Forget the wrecking crew, better bring this guy to destroy an entire building." I gulped as she told me his feat. "So, where was he now?"

"The Student Council decided that to keep a close eye on him encase something like this happens again near the future. He will receive punishment for at least 2 months under the council request by doing some heavy work."

"For some reason, you kept him as a student of our school. Why exactly?"

"I have no clue but they say he have relationship with someone powerful at Norway."

My phone rang as I pulled the said item out of my right pocket. I looked at the caller and it was Rias and immediately answer the call. "What is it, Tomato?"

"There's a sighting of bunch of strays in an abandoned warehouse near your areas. Both of our Peerage were called for it." Rias explained behind the phone.

"Alright, I'll be there sweetheart." I smirked as I heard her yelped from that nickname. I hang up from the call and inserted the phone in my pocket. "Hey, Sona. Urgent club stuff happen. Pleasure to hang out with you today."

"The pleasure is mine." Sona gave me a small smile as she turns her body towards me. "Now be careful. I don't want you to get hurt."

"Don't worry Sona." I smirked, ruffling her hair a bit much for her chagrin as she pouted a little. "I can handle the Stray just like I handle my Holy Water!"

"You still drinking it?!" She glares at me as I quickly pecked her lips and run away. "(Y-Y/N)!"

"Love you Sona!"

"That man..." She sighed in frustration before slowly giving a small smile. "I'll tell him later..."

[Timeskip]

"Another stray eh?" I asked as both of the Peerage stood in front of the warehouse. It smells reek with flesh and blood. "I sense two energy in the warehouse."

"Gee, wonder what's behind door number one?" Bill said as he rested his left arm on my right shoulder, leaning to the side a bit with his right arm on his hip. "I hope it's a spider-girl."

"Hope it's not any ridiculous tentacles monster..."

"Oh, I wish it was that." Issei's face shows his usual lecherous face, thinking all the bondages possibilities in his mind.

"Can you mindfuck him real quickly?" Mittelt requested as she felt disgusted with my twin.

"Ignore him." I shrugged it off before looking at the red haired girl. "What's the plan, Rias? Kick the door down and scream our name out loud?"

"Don't be ridiculous." Rias frowned at me before smiling a bit. "Koneko, Issei and Kiba will draw the enemies out."

"Let me tell you something. The plan is good but it sucks. Let me do all the planning."

"Wow." Kokichi commented as Rias pouted her cheek at me.

"You don't need to be mean about that, y'know?" She avoided eye-contact between us. I chuckled and ruffles her hair.

"Don't be like that. Let just give everything we got to those poor motherfuckers?" I called out as everyone looked determined except for a silent Kiba, who currently wasn't enthusiastic about the hunt. "Okay, girls. Assist the trio."

"HEY!" Kokichi glared at me, clearly felt insulted by my diss.

"That's for the pranks you pull on me."

Koneko punched the door down and we walked in. Mikan wrapped her arms around my left arm as she felt a bit nervous. "Hey, are you alright?" I asked the shy girl.

"Umm...I'm quite...scared on fighting other people..." She admitted. "I'm really a pathetic...devil..."

"Don't say that. Everyone get nervous once in their lifetime. Truth to be told, I used to be a nervous wreck when I started as a Demon but with you guys around...I felt a relief, knowing that they have my back. You should start doing the same and trusted us."

She looked at me in the eyes before nodding her head with a slight blush on her face.

"Okay, did anyone of you bring torchlight?" Kokichi asked at us.

"We're devils, we don't need flashlight you idiot!" Everyone scolded him.

"Geez, don't need to be so rude about it."

I slowly analyze the building before stopping at a place where two girls hiding behind it. "Well, found ya."

"Those cute girls is the stray?" Issei pointed out.

"Don't let it fool you, bro." I said as they got out from their hiding, revealing themselves as a hideous half-spider monsters. One of them jumped onto the ceiling as they hissed at us. "Bill, you're right. They one ugly motherfuckers."

"Told you." Bill grinned as he leaned on the wall nearby.

"Aww, man...I almost threw out my mouth." Issei cringed at the sight as he held hand above where his mouth are.

"Does all the strays comes out without clothes?" I casually asked with a stoic expression.

"I'm not." Kokichi deadpanned at my accusation. He then smile slyly, creating a blade-arm made of ink. "Slicing and dicing time?"

"Show them the meaning of pain." I exclaimed.

One of the spider slashed her claws at Koneko but she hit her up to the roof. Kokichi ran straight to another one monster and dodges claws which was impaled by a light spear courtesy of Raynare. She flew forwards with a light sword in her hand as both the Rook and Knight swiftly run pass the monster and sliced her legs.

The first spider looked at her comrades and shoot an acid web but was intercepted by Pyronica fires before the pink-haired girl threw a fireball to her face, blinding her for a second before receiving a punch by Issei. Kala and Mittelt nodded as they created multiple their respective spears and killed off our first stray with ease.

"Kiba?" Koneko called the Knight of Gremory as he was standing in idle, feeling a bit empty. I saw that the spiders shot some kind of acid liquid. I sighed and step in front of Koneko as the substance hits me but end up melting up my shirt.

"Oi, pretty boy! Are you their?!" I shouted in anger, as Kiba snapped back into reality before Mikan pulled him out of the way as another incoming acid almost hit him.

"S-Sorry..." Kiba slowly apologize as I creates my blue chains and threw it towards the spider monster.

"GET OVER HERE!" I shouted in anger, pulling her straight towards us. Both of Mira and Koneko nodded their head as they both stood in front of me. Mira used her stick while Koneko used her fist to push the woman upward in the air before being hit by Akeno's lightning. She fall to the ground, all beaten up with Rias held her hand forwards and destroyed her into oblivion with her Destruction magic.

After our little hunting, Asia made her way towards us with a concerned look on her face. "Koneko, (Y/N), do you need help?"

"Yes please." Koneko nodded her head.

"Regeneration power." I raised my hand up, noticing that the girls are blushing. "For real though, what's with me with always get half-naked on a battlefield?"

"Well, at least it's only the top." Issei grinned at me. "If you fully stripped, now that's a problem."

"Gotta agree with that."

*SLAP*

All of us heard a slapping sound as we all turn our attention towards Rias with her hand up and Kiba looking at the other way.

"There, think you got it together now?" Rias scolded the blonde haired boy.

"Yes, president." Kiba said with a sad tone.

"That mistake could have been lethal, you got lucky this time."

"I'm sorry, I'll try to pay attention next time, now, if you'll excuse me." Kiba said walking away. I clicked my tongue in annoyance as both of me and my twin brother gave chase.

"Okay, Charming." I called out, stopping him mid-track, turned his body slightly toward us. "What the actual fuck is going on with you?" I asked with my eyes narrowed.

"Yeah, you've been acting strange since you saw that particular photo." Issei pointed out with a glare of his own.

"It's none of your concern." The Knight responded harshly, still smiling.

"Like hell it is!" I shouted at him, feeling a bit angered by this. "Even I'm getting worried about you."

"Worried?" Kiba looked at us with a smirk. "Who worries about who? I think it's normal for Devils to live by how they want. Well, I think I'm at fault for not listening to my master this time."

"How about you stop acting like a damn zombie and actually tell your friends what the fuck is up?"

"Friends..." Kiba's expression suddenly became rather gloomy.

"Yeah, friends. Do I have to give you a dictionary for the definition, Charming?" I sarcastically remarked.

"Issei, (Y/N)." Kiba said. "Lately, I've started to remember something...essential."

"Essential?" Issei raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"Yes. The reason why I fight."

"Isn't it for Buchou?"

The realization struck me like lightning. "The Holy Swords...it's got something to do with them, right?"

"They're a part of it, yes." Kiba admitted, his expression darkening by the minute. "I fight for revenge. To destroy Excalibur is my reason for living." With that, Kiba walked away into the night as we both looked at each other in concern about our dear friend. I then looked forward and sighed.

"What you just got yourself into Kiba?"
