At Kuoh Academy, Michael kept his distance as he watches Issei from afar. He noticed how his friends have no recollection of Raynare, Yuuma, and suspects she wipe the memory of her existence from everyone, except Issei. Michael, however, knows as he is not easily manipulated with Telepathic abilities.

Soon, after class, Issei is seen walking to find Michael before seeing him on his phone with sun glasses on. He sees him and smiles. He gestures him to follow him and Issei follows him.

Michael: How are you?

Issei: Well... confused.

Michael: I can imagine.

Issei: Wait. How come you remember what happened?

Michael: I cannot be manipulated by Telepathy. That girl must've done that to cover her tracks.

Issei: I see. So... you beat her?

Michael: Well... yeah.

Issei: Why are you uncertain?

Michael: Because I attacked her to protect you. And get the info I need from her. Sure I cut her stomach, stabbed her leg and kneed her chin, but it wasn't a fair fight.

Issei: You just wiped her ass and you said it wasn't fair?!

Michael: *shrugs* She acted all high and mighty, but she lacked basic combat skills. *pokes his head* Learn that, maybe you could use it to evade danger instead of focusing on trying to get girls' attention by being a Perv.

Issei chuckles sheepishly as they approaches the HQ. He then realized it was building for the Occult Research Club.

Issei: Why are you taking me here?

Michael: She'll tell you what's going on.

Issei was confused as they entered the clubhouse. They entered the Hallway before reaching the office room. There was Kiba, Koneko, Akeno, and Rias, waiting for them. Issei was shocked to see the #1 Girl in Kuoh Academy there as he wonders what is going on.

Rias: I thought you would bring him here sooner.

Kiba: I tried to, President, but Michael told me no.

Rias: Why?

Michael: raised an eyebrow as Rias shuts up. She can tell Michael did it late because he wanted to keep Issei at peace to himself after what happened. Issei was shocked that a look from Michael quiets Rias.

Issei: What the hell is going on here? Who is Yuuma? Why did she try to kill me? Why did Michael saved-

Michael places his hand on his shoulder to calm him down. Issei does so, but the questions raced around his head.

Rias: Easy, Issei. You have every right to be questioning what happened. So let me tell you what happened, one by one.

Issei nods as Michael removes his hand on his shoulder.

Rias: You see, Issei. What you've experience is we tried to hide from the Human World for many years. I may not look like it, but I'm a Devil.

Issei: *shocked* A Devil?

Rias: Yes. And those around me? Kiba, Koneko, and Akeno? They're Devils too.

Issei was shocked everyone nods.

Rias: The Club is front for us, hiding our true selves from the Humans as we operate other matters.

Issei: I see. But what about Michael? Is he Devil?

Akeno: *chuckles* Only if he gets angry. It's not a pretty sight, but I like to see it.

Rias: Michael is not a Devil. He does know about all of us being Devils, as we shared who we are as children.

Issei: I see. So that's why he came to save me.

Rias: Yes. That girl that tried to kill you was a Fallen Angel. You see, they are Angels that were disgraced by God, and lost the light, now accepting their dark feelings and roam around the Earth. Just like Devils, they manipulate humans, trying to claim is the path to see God, but it's clearly not. And the Angels sees both of us as the same, manipulators and killers. So, us Devil are attacked by both Sides as they attack each other.

Issei was overwhelmed by this information as Michael places a hand on his shoulder.

Michael: Trust me. Even I had that reaction when she told me. *chuckles*

Issei: And how come no one remembers Yuuma? I don't even have her contact information. Michael remembers her clearly.

Rias: She can erase memories of her. Just like us. Michael may not be a Devil, but his mind is Steel Trapped.

Michael: She tried to do do that one time when she stole the last cookie. I pretended not to remember and when she's caught off guard, I yelled "I KNEW IT!" which startled and scared her.

Rias: *blushed* Why did you have to say that?

Michael chuckles as Issei was really confused by this. Everyone chuckled while Koneko stayed stoic while Akeno found new material to tease the President.

Michael: Anyway, she tried to kill you over the fact she found out you have something within you. A Sacred Gear.

Issei: *surprised* A Sacred Gear?

Rias: *nods* Yes. It's a power or ability that is found by a few. Many people in history carried a Sacred Gear. It is, however, so dangerous and uncontrollable that many would feel its a threat to them.

Michael: And that's why she was sent to kill you. Because, even if you didn't know, you could still find out and channel its power. They played the long game, but what they don't know they that game shorter by a few steps.

Kiba: Ooh, I like that. I'm gonna use that.

Issei: What does he mean by that?

Rias: Issei... would you like to be a part of Peerage?

Issei was shocked by this as Rias continues.

Rias: I'll help you learn how to master your Sacred Gear, so you can protect yourself and others around you. However, it would mean you have to become a Devil. Would you accept that?

Issei looked at everyone as they stayed silent, waiting for his response. He then looks at Michael who shrugs.

Michael: It's your choice. I don't need to be a Devil.

Issei nods as he thinks about. The made the decision.

Issei: I accept.

Rias: *nods* Good.

Soon, she pulls out a box and opens it. Soon, she pulls out a PAwn Chess Piece. However, she sensed Issei was stronger than just one so, she added up how many she needed and so used 8 of her pawn pieces and gives it too him.

Soon, Issei felt himself get changed as the energy swirls around him and a Magic Circle appears behind him.

Rias: Welcome, Issei Hyoudou. You are now a member of the peerage.

Issei looked shocked and amazed as everyone introduce themselves to him. After than he spoke.

Issei: So how do I get my Sacred Gear out?

Rias: Hold your left arm up and focus all your strength and energy at that point and release it.

Issei nods as he brings his arm up and starts focusing. Suddenly, a Green light shines over his hand as red scales start to form around it. Soon, it took the shape of a Gauntlet as Issei looks in shock.

Issei: Woah. This is my Sacred Gear?

Rias: Yes. That is your Sacred Gear.

Michael: *looks at it.* Hmm... it looks very Dragon-Like to me.

Rias looks at it and she can tell Michael was right.

Issei: So does that mean like life as a Human is over?

Michael: Not really, Issei. I mean, ignoring that fact, they're still regular people in everyone's eyes. Except for this. *snaps his fingers.*

Rias smirked as she pulls out her wings through her back. Soon, everyone followed suit, as Issei's own wings comes out through his back.

Michael: So yeah. Welcome to the Club, Issei.

Issei soon left as Rias decided to speak with Michael with the others.

Rias: Koneko told us what happened when you fought the Fallen Angel.

Michael: I know.

Koneko: *Surprised* How did you know I was there?

Michael: My Arbiter allows me to sense the Presence of those I know or imminent threats.

Kiba: *shocked* Woah. That's pretty cool. But, what she told us... we couldn't believe you managed to take her down.

Akeno: Indeed. And from what Koneko said, you were very Ruthless towards the Fallen Angel. Oh, I wish I could've seen her squirm as she was being held down by you-

Michael: *pokes her head* Akeno, you're sadism's coming out.

Akeno: Oh. *chuckles* Sorry. I couldn't help myself.

Rias: And not only that, you even held the Light Spear with no effect on you. I know the Spear is lethal to smaller class devils and humans but you held it without any pain and crushed it. Seems your Sacred Gear allows you to withstand the pain.

Michael: It was a way to strike fear in her. And show I was not one to be messed with.

Kiba: And buddy, you did that well. I'm honestly scared what could happen if you didn't hold back in training.

Michael: it wouldn't be pretty, I promise you that.

Koneko: But how did your shield turn into a Gun?

Michael summons his shield before it then converts into a Gun. Everyone was amazed by this.

Michael: It came with it. Took me a while to master how to hold a gun on my forearm. But I can handle it.

Rias: Interesting. You're more stronger than I thought, Michael.

Michael: Yeah. *makes his shield disappear.* I had to do a lot of training to master my Sacred Gear. And so, far, I think it's going well, especially after I beat the Fallen Angel.

Rias: Just don't over do it.

Michael: I promise, Rias.

*that night*

Michael is seen walking outside as he thinks about everything he went through since he moved to Japan.

Michael: Reunited with Rias, get three perverts beaten, saved one and beat a Fallen Angel... man, life can do strange things.

As he walks, some figure is seen watching him. Michael soon stops as his Arbiter glows, sensing danger.

Michael: I know your out there. Show yourself.

After a few seconds, a figure appears a few feet away from him.

?: So... you knew I was here. Clever boy.

Michael looks with seriousness as the figure reveals himself to be a man with black hair, a grey trenchcoat, grey pants, and a black hat.

Michael: Who are you? And why all moody? And more importantly, why do you want from me?

?: *chuckles* Well, since it's your last day in life, might as well tell you who I am. I am Dohnaseek, a Fallen Angel. And I come to eliminate you from your Sacred Gear... Michael McMahon.

Michael frowned as he goes into a fighting stance.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Michael: One of your buddies tried that not too long ago. If you don't want an ass-whooping, then I should consider you leave.

Dohnaseek: *laughs* Who do you take me for, boy? I don't take orders from you. I am here to fulfill my mission, unlike that Weakling Raynare.

Michael: Oh, great. Another Black Bird who thinks he's all mighty, but would look like a bitch after I turn him into one.

Dohnaseek: *fed up* Shut up!

He soon summons a Blue Light Spear and throws it at Michael. Michael dodges it with ease. Dohnaseek soon throws several Light Spears at Michael who dodges them effortlessly.

Michael: Geez, Dohn, you really need to work your aim. Is this how all you Rejects fight?

Dohnaseek: Shut up and die already!

Soon, he throws a big one, but Michael catches with with ease, spins around and throws it back at him. Dohnaseek moves away, but it was a distraction as Michael ran, jumped and hits a Dropkick on the side of his head, knocking him down.

Dohnaseek grunts before being grabbed by the legs and was lifted up. Michael then slams him on the floor before tossing him away. Dohnaseek grunts as he glares at Michael.

Michael: Had enough, Emo Taker?

Dohnaseek: How? You're a mere human.

Michael: I'm full of surprises- *chest glows*

*song stop*

Michael moves out of the way as another light spear came out of nowhere to hit him. He frowns as he turns and sees someone else approaching them. Soon, it spoke with a voice of a woman.

?: Seems you are in need of assistances, Dohnaseek. Don't worry. I came to give some aid.

Michael frowns as he sees it was a woman with Dark Blue hair, yellow eyes, and wore a maroon trenchcoat tank top.

Dohnaseek: This does not concern you, Kalawarner.

Kalawarner: You got yourself beaten by a human, with a sacred gear. I was going to after the other one, but saw you struggle against this one.

Michael: I see. So you two are in cahoots with Raynare.

Kalawaner: Not really. We were all sent to go after those who are a threat to the Fallen Angels.

Michael: *eyes glow* I see.

Dohnaseek: *stands up and creates a light spear* Give up. You can take us both down.

Michael: When have I ever given up?

Dohnaseek: Fine. We'll make your death as slow and painful as possible.

Kalawarner: A shame. It would be a waste to kill a charming young man like you.

Michael: *summons his Sword and Shield* Then come and face me.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Dohnaseek and Kalawarner throw their Spears at him. Michael jumps over them, but was caught by Dohnaseek in mid air. Michael then grabs onto him, spins and tosses him down.

He lands as Kalawarner launches at him, trying to stab him, but he blocks her attacks with his Shield. He soon smacks her away. He then catches Dohnaseek's Spear and stands Kalawarner with it on her shoulder.

He then grabs her Spear and throws it at Dohnaseek as a Distraction before tossing his sword him, jamming it into his side.

Michael's bracelet soon glows as a pair of long chains came out from his hands as he throws one chain at Dohnaseek, wrapping around his sword.

Michael: Get over here!

He soon pulls the chain, thrusting Dohnaseek forward before hitting a Superkick while grabbing sword as he uses it to break Kalawarner's Spear before slashing her in the gut.

He makes his chains disappear as he blocks a strike from Dohnaseek with his sword. Soon, he uses his shield to block a Strike from Kalawarner. The two hold in place as Michael grunts, trying to not get pushed back.

Just as Kalawarner and Dohnaseek began to push him back, Michael's chest glows and fires a blinding light, disorienting both of them. Michael gets the chance he throws his sword at Kalawarner's leg, before grabbing her and and lifting her up for a Gorilla Press and tosses her at Dohnaseek.

Dohnaseek growls in anger as he charges at Michael. Michael soon turns his Shield into a gun and fires a big shot at Dohnaseek, sending him flying back. He lands next to Kalawarner who was barely getting up.

*song ends*

Kalawarner: Dohnaseek...

Dohnaseek: How? He's just a human...

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Soon, she hears footsteps as Michael approached them. He soon places his sword behind him as his shield disappears.

Michael: You two are in no condition to fight anymore. If you value your lives, I suggest you retreat. Go back home and don't come back to harm innocent lives again. Decide.

Dohnaseek growls as he tries to get up but Kalawarner stops him.

Kalawarner: Enough. He's right. We can't fight him right now. We must go.

Dohnaseek growls but nods, seeing it was over.

Dohnaseek: This isn't over, boy. We will come back and finish the job.

Michael said nothing as Dohnaseek flies away. Kalawarner looks at Michael.

Kalawarner: Why not just kill us at this moment? You have the chance.

Michael: Not a fan of killing. But would do so in case someone I care about is hurt. Understand that, Kala.

Kalawarner's eyes widen that Michael referred to her as "Kala", giving her a nickname. Soon, she nods and flies away. Michael watches them leave before sighing. Soon, his Arbiter glows as his scratches began to fade as his sword disappears.

*songs fades*

Michael: They're getting desperate. At least I put a hard fight on Kala so she doesn't go after Issei. Still, they will come back.

?: Indeed.

Michael turns as he sees Rias approaching him.

Michael: Rias...

Rias: I saw everything.

Rias stood in front of him as she stares at Michael.

Rias: You're stronger than I thought. Taking on two Fallen Angels is no easy feat.

Michael: I know.

Rias: *holds his hand* And I'm glad you came out on top with a few scratches. I wouldn't control myself if something bad happened to you. *looks down* I don't want you to be hurt.

Michael smiles as he lifts her head up to look at her.

Michael: I'll try my best to not cause you to worry, Ri. But, understand that if either you, Akeno, Kiba, Koneko, and Issei get hurt, I will do whatever it takes to fight and protect.

Rias smiles as she can see the determination in Michael's eyes. She knew he has the strength to protect the weak.

Rias: When we were kids, I always saw you as brash, stubborn, and a bit of a jerk... but when its serious... even now... you're strong enough to be gentle. Never change that about you, Michael. Never.

Michael smiles as they hugged each other.

How's the chapter?

What do you think of the fight scene?
