Dark wings rising
It started out as another normal day in the human lives of the Decepticons as they made their way to Kuoh academy. Megatron currently had his thoughts centered around the encounter he and his followers had with Rias and her known associates. The world of Devils and the supernatural had been open up to them. Something the Decepticons would intend to use to their gain in due time.
But as Megatron's mind wondered about further on the Devils, another thought entered into his head.
"If human mythology and superstition is fact in this world, than what is there know about the other two species Rias told us of?" The Decepticon leader mused in his head. "Angels and Fallen Angels. While I can ascertain that Angels are the ancient enemies of these Devils, such similar to that of the Primes and the servants of Unicron, what about the Fallen Angels? What is their place in this? Perhaps they are similar to the Primes Liege Maximo and Megatronus the Fallen. Straying down darker paths from their original objectives and ended up everyone's enemies as a result."
By now, the three Decepticons were walking up to the academy's gates, where other people were walking towards. Some of these people were students, others were teachers, and some were people unaffiliated with the school and simply passing by it.
As the trio walked closer to everyone else near the gate, Megatron was starting to feel his thoughts slipping away from him, slowly being replaced with a low ringing in his head. Megatron tried to shake it off, wincing at the feeling of it starting to pulse faster and faster.
"By the pits, what is happening?!" Megatron harshly spoke inside his mind, though doing his best to keep a composed outward appearance as he rubbed his fingers on the bridge of his nose.
However, in his slightly distracted state, Megatron had ended up accidentally bumping into one of the other people near the gate, a girl from what he quickly saw.
"Oh!" The girl exclaimed, having stumbled back a bit before composing herself. "S-sorry."
"You needn't worry about it." Megatron dismissed her with a wave of his hand, doing his best to fight back against the ringing in his head, which seemed to have reached its highest when he had bumped into the girl.
Shockwave and Soundwave glanced at the girl as she continued to pass by, noting that she appeared to have a young age, but was not wearing an academy uniform, which became more evident since she wasn't walking into Kuoh. From what the both of them had seen, she also had long black hair and violet eyes.
As Megatron was continuing to silently suffer from the incessant ringing in his head, he started to find that it was lowering in tone with each passing second. Furrowing just eyes at this, he glanced back at the black haired girl he had bumped into, noting that the further away from Kuoh she had walked, the quieter the ringing in his head became.
"Now that I think about it, that ringing didn't start until we got closer to the others at the gate. And it didn't dissipate until that girl walked away." Megatron thought to himself, keeping his focus on the girl's retreating figure. "That sensation... it wasn't dissimilar to what I sensed the first time I entered into Kuoh, but this was far more alerting."
"I'd something wrong, Tron?" Shockwave asked his leader.
Megatron glanced over to his lieutenant before setting his sights back on the black haired girl. "If you see that girl again... keep an eye on her."
Upon hearing this, Shockwave and Soundwave shared a glance before nodding to Megatron. Though just as the trio started to walk through the gates, Soundwave paused for a moment as a feminine voice entered into his ears.
"To think God told us to watch over these insignificant apes. It's pathetic."
Soundwave quickly turned his head around to ascertain where the voice came from. By now the other students and teachers were through the gates while those that were merely passing by Kuoh didn't fit the profile of how the female voice sounded. But then, his sights went back to the black haired girl, who was now staring at the short wall that encompassed the academy like a fence, almost as if she was trying to peer through it. After another moment, she started to walk away again.
Soundwave's sights lingered on the girl before he walked through the gates, catching up with Megatron and Shockwave.

It was now much later in the day. Classes have gone by with ease for the Decepticons as usual. As of current, the three of them were in social studies class, listening deeply as the teacher went over the current topic of the week. The French Revolution.
"With the suspension of Louis the sixteenth's monarchy, the National Convention came into creation, being the first French government organized as a republic without a monarchy." The teacher said as she went on with the history lesson. "By this point the Jacobin club had split into two groups. The moderate Girondins, led by Brissot, and the the more radical Montagnards, led by Maximilien Robespierre."
"This is all starting to sound eerily familiar." Megatron mused in his mind. "This French Revolution wasn't much different than the rise of my Decepticons. Though their war was undoubtedly vastly shorter compared to ours."
Just then, the bell rang throughout the school, indicating the end of classes for the day.
"Remember to take good notes, class." The teacher advised as everyone gathered their things. "There will be a test on this next Monday."
"How drivel." Megatron thought with a bored look as he packed away his books and hefted his bag over his shoulder.
Though just as Megatron, Shockwave, and Soundwave started to exit their classroom with the other students, they were quick to find Rias walking up from behind them.
"Tron, Don, Stark." Rias spoke cordially to the trio, growing a small smile as she got their attention.
"Hmm. That was quicker than I imagined." Megatron inwardly mused as he and his two associates turned to face the buxom, red haired girl. "Hello, Rias. Is there something we can help you with?"
"I was hoping that you three could come back over to the club later on today. I would like to talk about the proposal once more." Rias informed to Megatron.
"We've already said our peace on the matter." Megatron firmly stated as he began to turn back around. "And I don't like repeating myself."
However, Rias promptly grabbed onto to Megatron's shoulder to quickly get in front of him. "It's different this time, I promise. Sona and I have discussed things out, and we want to rework the deal with you."
"Just as I expected." Megatron smirked on the inside. He shared a glance with Shockwave before replying back to Rias. "I will admit that you have some spark, Gremory. We must really be significant to you and your compatriots."
"When something beneficial lands right in front of you, would you not do your best to capitalize on it in which ever way you could?" Rias questioned Megatron.
At this, Megatron gave a quite chuckle as he responded. "I would probably be lying if I answered otherwise."
"Then you understand where I'm coming from." Rias said. "I'll let you and your friends talk it over. If you answered my question in truth, then you won't regret hearing us out again."
"We will see." Megatron replied in an even tone.
At this, Rias calmly smiled. "Good."
It was at that moment something unexpected happened. Rias had swiftly leaned up to Megatron's face before pressing her lips against his cheek. The action had not just caught Megatron and his Decepticon cohorts off guard to varying degrees, but the passerby students who had witnessed the action all seemed to freeze in shock and awe.
With much grace in her movements, Rias turned from Megatron as she began to walk away. She brushed away her hair a bit before giving a small wave back at him and his fellows. "I hope to see you there."
Megatron stood frozen with his eyes widened in bewilderment as his mind registered what had just transpired. He numbly moved his hand up to where Rias had kissed him on his cheek, his eyes furrowing as he tried to find the reasoning behind it. "What was the point of that?"
As Megatron asked this, Soundwave was observing the halls, taking quick note of how all the nearby students started to whisper to one another as they took glances over at Megatron, something Shockwave noticed as well.
"It perhaps may have been a social play for power." Shockwave theorized to Megatron. "Everyone's attention is now on you."
Much to Shockwave's word, Megatron looked to see what his subordinates had found before him. The entire hallway was filled with gossip and surprised stares, all directed at himself.
"Did Rias just kiss Tron?"
"Why did she kiss him?"
"Are they dating?"
"I don't think so... maybe?"
"I'm so jealous."
"The guys are gonna hate Tron more than they did before."
Megatron widely blinked a bit before looking back towards the direction Rias had left in, his expression far more than peeved. "That accursed woman. This must be payback for our initial refusal of her offer."
"Then we should leave this area at once before the idle gossip becomes pestering questions." Shockwave advised.
"Agreed." Megatron said.
Though just before they could make their escape, Soundwave looked over to his leader, grabbing his attention. The silent Con made a gesture with his head, one that Megatron understood.
"Very well, meet us at the occult research club within the hour." Megatron firmly stated to Soundwave.
"Hey, Tron?" One of the girls called out to Megatron as she and a few other students started to walk up to him.
"Retreat!" Megatron quietly whispered in urgency to Shockwave with a look of annoyance.
The two Cons then bolted their way down the hall, swerving past any students in their way.
"H-hey! Wait up!" The girl called out again as she and her friends gave chase.
Soundwave watched as his leader and Shockwave fled the area before he started to walk down the hallway in the opposite direction. No one had bothered him or walked up to him in attempt to make conversation, no matter how much some of the students wanted an answer as to why Rias kissed Megatron on the cheek. For some, it was out of respect for Soundwave's personal business. For others, they knew that they wouldn't get anything out of him no matter how much they probed. But for the general consensus, when Soundwave walked alone, especially with his usual disposition, he seemed too eerie to attempt an approach.

Decepticons————DxD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soundwave was now taking a stroll alongside the forest edge of the Kuoh Academy grounds. Since enrolling to the academy, he would, at times, walk beside the trees, taking in his surroundings. While it was nothing compared to Cybertron, Soundwave could admit there was a certain serenity to the forest and it's land, especially with his new human perspective. But basking in the quiet of the scenery was not his reason for this current visit. For just as he did on the Nemesis, Soundwave was on patrol.
Throughout the entire day, a single thought played in the back of his mind on loop. The female voice he thought he had heard, and the black haired girl Megatron had told to keep an eye out for. The way he had caught her looking at the fencing walls of the academy, it raised Soundwave's suspicions. On the one hand, it could be a fluke occurrence, but Soundwave was nothing if not verifying.
And thus, here was the reason for Soundwave's patrol. To see if that girl would show up again, and determine her motives, be they unconcerning or otherwise.
So far, it was a seemingly quiet patrol, notwithstanding some of the chatter Soundwave could hear from the students that were more closer to his position.
Though that would not last for much longer.
"Issei, you pervert!"
Soundwave immediately found himself looking in the direction of the kendo club building, where he found none other than Issei Hyoudou being mercilessly assaulted by the entire kendo club with their bamboo swords. Shinai, from what Soundwave learned. One might ponder as to why Issei was being attacked by the club, but given the boy's infamous reputation with his two other friends, added with the fact that the kendo club was only filled with girls, it only took Soundwave around two seconds to get a grasp on the situation.
As the kendo club girls continued their beat down on Issei, one of the girls looked behind herself to spot Soundwave. She was a girl with coral colored hair, with her eyes coral as well. Her name was Katase, from what Soundwave had heard.
"Oh. Hi, Don!" Katase eagerly waved at the masked "boy", smiling as she went back to swinging her shinai at Issei.
Soundwave gave no other response to her save but a nod of his head.
Through the barrage of bamboo swords, and through his pained grunts and screams, Issei peeked out to spot Soundwave as well, trying his best to call out to him.
"Agh! Gah! D-Don! Please! Aah! You gotta save me!" Issei cried out, making every attempt to shield himself with his hands from the onslaught.
Seeing no further point of lingering near the scene, Soundwave went back on his patrol, ignoring the pleas of Issei.
"No! Ow! Wait! Don! Gah!" Issei wailed as he watched Soundwave walk away. "Come back! AAH!"
Meanwhile with Megatron and Shockwave, the two roamed around near the school track where the track squad was currently in practice. Any other students in the area were either lying or sitting on the grass or mosey about as they conversed with friends.
"That was humiliating." Megatron spoke bitterly in a lowered voice so that only Shockwave would head him. "The leader of the might Deception Empire reduced to fleeing away from inquiry-craved humans. I was once respected and feared throughout the universe, yet these are the lows that I fall to."
"Logically, we would not experience such vexations back in our old bodies, but there is no changing what has been done to us. Not yet, at least." Shockwave replied to his leader. "Transfiguration is a science difficult to allocate to organic compounds. Let alone in not only changing our sizes, but our molecular structure to perfectly match that of our Cybertronian forms. Though if we can haggle an optimal deal with the Devils, the doorway could open to many possibilities that may have the potential to make our desires a reality."
"It's better." Megatron said with a stern expression. "For as much as we have adapted to our situation, finding a way to get back our old bodies would be paramount."
"Only time may tell." Shockwave stated. "Regardless of it all, such a process will take much trial and error."
"Such is the price of progress." Megatron evenly asserted.
Megatron then looked to his right arm, observing it from elbow to hand. He flexed his fingers inwardly to form a fist, his nails pressed against his palm. Should he tighten his fist any further, he would dig into his own skin. It wasn't so long ago that the gladiatorial champion of Kaon hadn't need to worry about such a thing, when his hands were of Cybertronian steel just like the rest of his body. While strength remained, there was a newfound weakness that Megatron despised. The frailty of an organic body. The prospect that he could no longer go all out to win a fight, that he now had to ensure to preserve his own body far more than he ever needed to. It sickened Megatron to his core. But for as enflamed as his anger was, he did his very best to hold it back, for unbridled fury would get him nowhere in this endeavor.
Though it was moment such as this, that his anger started to seep out.
"Whatever it takes, I will rise back up to my former glory." Megatron scowled in his thought, staring ruefully to the sky. "On this, I swear upon the All Spark!"
The time started to move forward, and the students that were not participating in after school clubs and activities gradually dispersed back to their homes.
As of now though, Megatron leaned against a wall to one of the academy buildings, his arms crossed as he waited patiently for his first lieutenant to return from using the toiletries.
And it did not take long for Shockwave to return from the main building, where the closest bathrooms were. While his face was as stoic as usual, there a hint of displeasure in Shockwave's expression.
"I will never be used to the organic need of expelling bodily waste." Shockwave declared in a deadpan tone as he walked back up to Megatron.
"None of us do, Shockwave." Megatron muttered as he got off from the wall. "But disregarding that, I would say we have let Rias Gremory wait long enough. We should start heading off to her club building."
"Very well. Shall we retrieve Soundwave first?" Shockwave asked.
Megatron simply shook his head, crossing his hands behind his back as he and Shockwave started to walk. "No. Soundwave will meet us there in due time. That is if nothing preoccupies him first."
As they got closer to the occult research club building, Megatron and Shockwave found Matsuda and Motohama sitting in a circle with Issei beside the stone steps to the club building as they talked with each other. They quickly noted the bruises on Issei's face. As the three perverted boys prattled, Issei soon spotted Megatron and Shockwave walking their way.
"Ah, shit. Two Kings at six o'clock." Issei hurriedly spoke to his friends in a hushed tone, wincing at the sight of the two Cons.
Matsuda and Motohama took quick glances to spot Megatron and Shockwave before they turned back around, their entire group falling into silence.
Megatron raised his brow at the trio of boys as he and Shockwave walked up to the stone steps. They were pretending as if he and Shockwave weren't standing beside them, watching as they tried their hardest to act as if they were talking about nothing before the two Decepticons walked over.
A part of Megatron felt it best to pay them no mind like the insects they were. But sometimes, even insects could provide some form of entertainment.
"And what are you three doing over here?" Megatron asked them.
Issei had his eyes closed as he twiddled his fingers together. He was quiet at first, but since it was Megatron that spoke to him, he eventually gave in and replied. "Oh... you know, we were just... talking about some things. Wha-what's it to you?"
"Yeah, it's not like any of you guys share our passions." Matsuda crossed his arms with a scowl. "None of you have an appreciation for the finer things in life."
"That is an objective opinion." Shockwave stated.
"You're an objective opinion." Matsuda muttered quietly beneath his breath as hr looked away.
"As improbable as it may seem to you three, even your pathetic and useless prattle has the potential to be, in some degrees, mildly amusing. If not just to laugh at the idiocy and incompetence behind it all." Megatron asserted as he loomed over them in an almost ominous manner. "So humor me."
Motohama cleared his throat as he pushed up his glasses, making sure not to make eye contact with Megatron. "Well... if you must know, we were talking about a peep hole we found behind the kendo club building that allows us to look into the girl's changing room."
"Which you guys totally screwed up for me before I could see any naked bazongas!" Issei berated at his friends. "And then you two bailed like ass-wipes, leaving me to take all the beatings the kendo club could dish out!"
"Hmph." Megatron let out a small, scoffing chortle as he pictured the image of Issei being beaten to inch of his life.
"Not our fault you didn't try to run too when you had the chance." Matsuda shrugged before placing his hand on Issei's shoulder. "But I respect you for trying to see some nips when we chickened out. Be proud of that."
"Fuck off." Issei slapped away his friend's hand in annoyance.
"Anyways..." Motohama trailed off as he changed the conversation. "Before you and Stark got here, we were talking about specific girls at Kuoh and their sizes. I was just telling Issei and Matsuda about Rias Gremory's sizes after Issei saw her looking at him from that window over there... by the way, Tron, I heard a rumor that Rias kissed you on the cheek at the end of classes today. Got any details you wanna tell us?"
"What?" Issei exclaimed to Motohama in disbelief. After such, he immediately started to moan in exaggerated sorrow. "Great. That's just great. I end making eye contact with the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, and she's going out with Tron! Go figure with my luck."
Megatron narrowed his eyes in a scowl as he leaned over the three boys further, his teeth becoming bare to them like a predator ready to pounce upon prey. The next thing that happened was Megatron swiftly reaching out to Motohama and Issei, grabbing them by their shirts and lifting them both into the air.
The two boys had fear written all over their faces as they were forced to look back at Megatron's angered expression.
"Let us get one thing clear." Megatron strained through his clenched teeth. "Rias and I are not in a courtship. We're hardly even friends. To say the least, I do not appreciate everyone making assumptions all because Rias did something to evoke some form of reaction. And if this is the course she intended, she's very much succeeding. However, the gossip stops here. Should I continue to hear another word of this topic brought up by any of you, what the kendo club did to Issei will pale in comparison to my retribution. Do we have an understanding?"
Sweat began to drip from Motohama and Issei's forehead in nervousness to the situation they were now in. The two began to rapidly nod their head in response to Megatron.
"D-don't worry. You won't hear another peep out of us about it." Motohama spoke in fear.
"Yeah-yeah. Definitely." Issei far too eagerly said in agreement as he did his best to put on a smile, a smile he hoped would placate Megatron.
Megatron gave nothing in reply as he released his grip on Motohama and Issei, causing the two boys to fall onto their rear-ends. While some of his anger subsided, a scowl remained on the Decepticon leader's face as he turned to Shockwave.
"Come on." He said to him as he started to walk up their steps to the club building.
Issei rubbed his sore ass as he and his friends watched Megatron and Shockwave walking into the occult research club building.
"That is the crankiest human being I've ever met." Matsuda stated as he looked at his friends.
"How is it that the chicks here dig him and the deadpan duo?" Issei asked. "With Don, I can see the most feasible; you know, some women like the whole mysterious vibe. But Stark probably doesn't even know the concept of love, and Tron's practically the incarnation of King Ghidorah with the way he acts."
"Some women just love a bad boy." Motohama sighed. "Even jack asses have a certain allure and charm in their eyes."
"I don't think I'll ever understand the intricacies of the female mind." Issei said as he shook his head.
"It's the price of tits and harems." Matsuda solemnly spoke.
With a heavy sigh, Issei stood up from his spot on the grass, picking up his bag as he looked to his friends. "We should probably find a different spot. I don't think it's a good idea to hand around where Tron and Stark are at. I for one don't want to run the risk of pissing off Tron just by glancing at him when he comes out of the club building."
"Agreed." Motohama nodded alongside Matsuda as the started to grab their bags as well.
Back with Tron and Stark, they were currently being led through the building by Kiba, who had answered the door for them upon their arrival.
"It's nice of you guys to consider Rias's offer." Kiba said to the two. "Though, truth be told, it was also probably the smart thing to do. Rias can be quite tactical and aggressive when it comes to things she wants. I don't think I need to remind you how she got the whole school riled up when some of the students saw her kids you, Tron."
"You really shouldn't." Megatron stated with a annoyed groan. "But nevertheless, those are admirable qualities. She'll be sure to find that I can be the same."
"Won't that be fun." Kiba chuckled lightly as he then led the two Cons upstairs.
Soon enough, they had arrived to the door of the room where they had last met with the Devils. Kiba gave Megatron and Shockwave a friendly smile as he placed his hand on the doorknob.
"Good luck in there." Kiba told them as he held the door open.
"While I am not a firm believer on the concept of luck, the sentiment is still appreciated." Shockwave said to the blonde as he and his leader entered the room.
Once inside, the Decepticon duo found the room to be mostly empty, save for Akeno, who was setting the coffee table by the couch with tea.
As Kiba closed the door and left, Akeno looked up and smiled at Megatron and Shockwave, waving to them.
"I'm glad you could make it." Akeno said after she finished setting the table, holding the tray for the tea under her bust. "Though you seem to be a man short. Might I ask where Don is?"
"Don went for a walk around the school. It's somewhat of a habit for him." Megatron explained as he and Shockwave walked over to the couch to sit down. "He will be with us soon, I can assure you."
"I hope soon will be quick enough." Akeno said as she cast a small frown. "I wouldn't want for his tea to get cold. I made it just the same as yesterday."
"I'm certain he will thank you for your thoughtfulness in some degree most logical to his mannerisms." Shockwave replied to the raven-haired girl as he began to sip from the cup he picked up. "It is a... calming brew."
Upon sitting down, Megatron glanced over to notice Rias's school uniform scattered on the ground, along with what he assumes is her undergarments. Added to that was the faint sound of rapid, running water coming from a room adjacent to the chair Rias sat in the last time they had met.
"Have we come at a less desirable time?" Megatron asked Akeno, motioning to clothes on the floor.
"Oh, don't worry about it." Akeno's waved him off with a small giggle. "Rias is almost done in there. She likes to take a shower here everyday after classes."
"I see." Megatron regarded to Akeno after sipping from his cup of tea. He then glanced over to spot a chessboard on the opposite end of the table, right in front of Rias's chair. Upon the board were pieces that had already been moved, with the side bearing white red pieces having won.
"Who was the victor?" Megatron asked Akeno, motioning to the board.
"Hmm? Oh, that was Rias." Akeno answered him as she looked at the chessboard. "She's a very experienced player in the game of chess."
Megatron gave no reply as he stared at the chessboard, placing his hand under his chin as he analyzed it. "While it would have been better to see how the game went when it was still active, I can recognize some of the strategy in it. As haughty as Rias seems to be, there appears to be truth to her skills. Nothing too large compared to exploits involving myself and Optimus, but nothing too small not to show promise. Perhaps I should play against Rias some time."
Speaking of said Devil, the sound of the shower ceased, garnering the Decepticons' attention. The next thing anyone knew was Rias exiting the shower room, completely naked and dripping in water as she used a towel to dry her hair first.
It only took a short amount of time for Rias to glimpse Tron and Stark out of the corner of her eye as she dried her hair. Her eyes went wide for a moment, realization dawning at her in an instant that she was standing naked in front of two boys. Ultimately though, it was an unpredictable accident and partly her mistake, and partly Akeno's since she had made no effort to warn Rias beforehand that there were others in the room. As quick as she had widened her eyes in shock, she steeled herself right after and took the situation in stride as she continued drying her hair.
"My apologies, you two. Had I known you were here I would have wrapped my towel around myself before walking out of the shower." Rias told the Decepticons. "But despite the awkward circumstances we find ourselves in, I'm glad you came."
Megatron and Shockwave both respectively raised their brows as they shared a look with each other, their expressions baring a hint of befuddlement.
"It's... fine, I suppose..." Megatron replied to Rias, his tone trailing off.
He and Shockwave were both seeing Rias Gremory in full view of her without any clothes. Her succulent, bare breasts, the entirety of her smooth and beautiful skin, and—according to Shockwave's research on human anatomy—her nether regions, which apparently had a patch of red hair right above it. While most males, and some females, would blush, ogle, or at the rare occasion, bleed from their noses at the sight, Megatron and Shockwave didn't know how to feel about looking at Rias naked. Something Rias herself and Akeno caught on.
"I must say, that has to be the first time I've seen boys with faces like yours as a result of staring at a naked women." Akeno said as she pressed her finger to her chin in curiosity.
"We grasp the basic consensus of how men usually feel around women with little to otherwise no clothing, and vice versa with women to men. Though we do not display the usual reactions." Shockwave explained. "Consider it a result of our upbringing. We... were not taught the commonalities most children learn. Therefore we are lacking in certain areas where we should feel embarrassment, or arousal, in this case. Or both at the same time."
"You don't say?" Rias replied as she put her hand on her hip, a playful smile on her face. "Then maybe I can be like this more often whenever you guys are here. It is quite refreshing."
"I'd rather you not." Megatron spoke in a dull tone. "I don't want to risk the chance of someone spotting something like this and spreading another pestering rumor about you and I, Gremory."
"You're not mad about the kiss, are you?" Rias asked him, tilting her head to the side as her smile remained. "It was just a little fun."
"You haven't the faintest idea how much I want to punch you right now." Megatron narrowed his eyes at Rias.
Rias shrugged off the threat as she went back to working on her hair. "You wouldn't be the first person I've met tell me something like that. I doubt you'll be the last either."
"I would if I had my old body back." Megatron bitterly thought to himself. "Though I suppose that would also depend on how much force Rias can handle. And how much she light be able to damage me in return."
"By the way, where's Don?" Rias asked Megatron. "Doesn't he usual tail you just about everywhere you go?"
Before either Megatron or Shockwave could answer the red headed demon, the door to the room opened up to reveal none other than Soundwave entering in, with Kiba behind him.
Rias turned around to spot the silent Con, smiling at him. "Oh, never mind then. That was some perfect timing."
Both Soundwave and Kiba were now looking at Rias's naked form, the latter having turned away with an awkward look while the former's expression was unreadable behind his mask and goggles. Though if one could guess, Soundwave was having the same reaction Megatron and Shockwave had to Rias beforehand.
"Well, uh... I think I'm gonna go now." Kiba said with a slightly nervous tone as he left the room, closing the door on his way out.
That left Soundwave standing there by himself as he stared at the oddity before him. While he was looking at Rias, he saw Akeno waving at him with while giving a humored giggle. Soundwave then turned his head towards Megatron and Shockwave, an indicator of his confusion to the new situation he found himself in.
Shockwave gave a simple shrug in return to the look Soundwave was giving them. Megatron gave a small grunt as he nodded his head to the side, motioning for his right hand bot to come over to them.
After a few more minutes, everyone was positioned into a slightly more comfortable scene. Soundwave had now joined his cohorts on the couch, having removed his mask to drink from his cup of tea. As with Rias, she was now dried off and wearing a plush, white robe as she sat in her chair with Akeno standing at her side.
"So what is this new proposal you're willing to offer us?" Megatron asked, motioning his hand out to Rias.
"As I told you earlier, Sona and I went over everything you objected to yesterday, and have come to an agreement that should satisfy all concerned parties." Rias started her explanation.
Shockwave then raised his hand, though chose to immediately speak right after instead of waiting to be acknowledged. "Pardon my interruption, but where is Sona? Should she not be here too?"
"Unfortunately, Sona is a far more busy woman compared to me. She's takes being the student council president all too seriously." Rias informed Shockwave. "Such is the case for today, where she said she needed to hold a meeting with the student council to discuss community projects."
"How sedulous of her. It's admirable that her position as the president isn't just a front for her Devil activities." Shockwave complimented the absent Sona. "You may carry on, now."
Rias gave a quick and small chuckle to Shockwave's words about Sona, but continued with her explanation right after. "Anyways, our proposal is symbiotic. We can offer you materials, knowledge, or any other objects you so wish to desire, and in turn we ask that you work with us. You wouldn't be forced to join any of our peerages, but we would still ask of you to join our groups. Tron and Don as members of the Occult Research Club, and Stark as a new student council member. It's a far looser connection as opposed joining a peerage, and you would be lacking certain abilities Devils can acquire, but it should be suitable to your wishes."
Upon hearing the proposal, Megatron crossed his arms as he leaned back on the couch. "Just to go over everything properly, we can make deals with you at the cost of joining your school groups. No form of eternal servitude on our behalf."
"Correct. Though joining our respective clubs is the down payment. There may be times when we ask you help out with certain things. Doing jobs, or hunting down strays." Rias further elaborated. "Think of it like mercenary work. Each of our groups have something the other wants, though the only thing you will be bond to is the acceptance or completion of contract. You may choose not to help us on occasion, but that means we will be less inclined to deliver upon anything you may want. The more things you help us with, the further deals we can make. You won't be forced to do anything you don't want to do. Save for actual club activities, of course."
"Then it's a rewards system." Megatron surmised as he shared glances with his men. "I do believe that is something we can work with."
A pleased smile graced Rias's lips as she leaned forward holding out her hand. "So do you accept our deal?"
Megatron stared at the open invitation of Rias's hand for a moment before he flashed his own smile and stretch his hand out to meet her's, shaking it in agreement.
Rias's smile grew brighter before retracting her hand from Megatron's. "Perfect. After Sunday, we can have you all fully instated into ORC and the student council, and our new relationship can begin."
"I look forward to this partnership of ours." Megatron told her.
"Me too." Akeno added in with an excited smile, looking over to Soundwave, who was drinking from his tea. Soundwave glanced up at her behind his darkly tinted goggles, wondering as to why Akeno looked at him in such a manner.
Inside of his head, Megatron darkly chuckled as he thought of the possibilities from this deal with Rias. "And just like that, we are one step closer to our goals."

DxD————Decepticons
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a new day for the Decepticons. Within the course of a near forty-eight hours, they had not only discovered the world of the supernatural, but had brokered an agreement with the Devils of Kuoh Academy that would grant them access to their every wants and needs. It had all gone according to Megatron's plan.
As they were on their way to school, Shockwave was discussing an idea he had about the deal they had made.
"In order to test out how well this partnership will benefit us, I would suggest that we make our starting wishes as items that seem easy to achieve." Shockwave voiced his thoughts to his leader. "By doing this, we can ascertain if they will automatically retrieve the more basic forms of these items in question, or if they will produce for us a higher quality of them."
"And thus testing how far they will be willing to go on their own end of this alliance." Megatron followed Shockwave's train of thought. "A sound idea. Though one I intend to put into effect on more... shall we say, ambitious occasions."
But just as everything was seemingly going Megatron's way, the ringing he heard in head the morning before started up once again as he and his men neared closer and closer to the academy. Once they were all near the gate to the school, Megatron stopped to place his hand on his head as he quietly groaned in pain.
Seeing this, Shockwave and Soundwave halted their movements to see what was causing their leader's ailment.
"What's wrong?" Shockwave asked.
"The ringing I heard yesterday... it's happening again." Megatron muttered under his breath so that only his subordinates would hear him. "But it only occurred when we ran into that—."
It was at that moment that Megatron looked up to see a sight that was completely unexpected. Walking up the school gate was an all too cheerful Issei, accompanied by none other than the young female the Decepticons spotted on their way to Kuoh the previous day. The same girl Megatron suspected to have been the cause of the sound going off in his head.
"Hey guys!" Issei waved over to the trio with a proud and cocky smile under the guise of a humble one.
This had grabbed the attention of other two Decepticons as they looked to see Issei walking with black haired girl from yesterday. Though out of the three Decepticons, it was Soundwave who was locked on to her person.
Getting over his initial surprise, and fighting back against the ringing in his head to the best of his abilities, Megatron straightened himself a bit before replying to the brown haired boy.
"You seem very happy today, Issei." Megatron spoke the obvious observation that could be seen by all. He then glanced over to the girl at Issei's side. "Who might this be?"
"Oh, where are my manners?" Issei lightly slapped his forehead, though never once losing his smile. "This is Yuuma Amano. My girlfriend."
"Hi, there. It's nice to meet you all." Yuuma spokes to the Decepticons in an innocent and cheerful tone. "I didn't realize Issei had so many friends."
"Define the term "friends" in this particular instance." Shockwave replied in a tone that was duller than usual.
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Yuuma asked as she placed her finger to her chin.
"Well... we're not exactly full on buddies like I am with Matsuda and Motohama, but I wouldn't say we're enemies either." Issei offered as he looked over to Megatron with a nervous glance. "Right?"
Megatron stared at Issei for a moment before giving a small smile in return. "Of course. Why would we have any personal issues with you and your compatriots?"
The Decepticon leader then looked towards Yuuma, the ringing his head increasing as he made eye contact with her. "Since Issei's given us your name, allow us to give to you ours. I am Tron Managold. My one eyed comrade is Stark Quinn, and our silent friend is Don Doak. I must say, it's a bit... surprising to find Issei now romantically involved with someone else."
As he said this, Megatron held out his hand to Yuuma for her to shake, something she seemed to gladly reciprocate.
"What can I say? He just so charming, and funny, and handsome." Yuuma stated. "I'm surprised no girl has asked him out yet."
"Of course..." Megatron replied.
However, as their hands shook, Megatron began to flinch as the ringing in his head reached its peak. It caused him to jolt back some to clutch his head in pain. This had also resulted in Soundwave moving his attention away from Yuuma, and towards his leader.
"Hey, are you all right, man?" Issei asked Megatron as he and Yuuma were taken aback by this sudden action.
"He's been experiencing some migraines as of late due to anger-related stress." Shockwave came up with his best explanation. "It will pass soon enough."
"Geez. I guess that rumor about you and Rias didn't really help much." Issei remarked.
"It's fine..." Megatron grunted out as he tried to steady himself.
"Well, I guess I'll leave you guys to this." Issei gave a small wave before looking over to Yuuma with a smile. "Meet you at the bridge later today?"
"See you there." Yuuma happily replied before pecking Issei on the cheek and walking off.
Issei had a look of absolute bliss that was combined with the expression of a bubbly fool. He then proudly smirked to the Decepticons as he pointed his thumb at himself. "Oh, yeah. I'm getting laid."
He then walked through the school gates, carrying an jolly tune with him with each step.
"Issei may not be as treacherous as him, but I've never met an individual I've wanted to torment more than Starscream." Megatron muttered with a scowl.
Meanwhile, Soundwave had his attention focused on the retreating form of Yuuma. And once more, he heard a feminine voice as a result. Though this time, he was able to hear much more from the voice.
"That boy is truly a childish. Not just cocky enough to show me off to his wimpy friends, but he even flaunted me to guys that are nine and tens compared to himself. Added with that they seemed to have stronger auras. Though I gotta wonder what's the deal with the creepy kid in the mask. Regardless, it won't be much longer until I'm done with Issei."
As the ringing in Megatron's head began to subside, he too glanced back to look at Yuuma, though was quick to raise his brow at Soundwave doing so too.
"You sense something off about her too, don't you." Megatron said to his most loyal follower.
Soundwave looked away from Yuuma to meet Megatron's face. Without any other motion, Soundwave turned back around and started to walk through the school gates.
Shockwave and Megatron watched as Soundwave walked away. In response to this, the former looked to the latter and spoke. "I know you told to keep an eye out for that girl yesterday, but Soundwave seems far more invested to the task."
"He knows something up." Megatron stated with a nod. "And we should know one fact about Soundwave, it's that his suspicions are never to be taken lightly."

Later on the dusk of that day, Issei and Yuuma could be seen facing each other atop a bridge over a highway, talking to one another.
"Go out?" Issei asked her.
"Yeah. Next Sunday afternoon." Yuuma sweetly answered him. "Can you do it?"
"Sure! That sound great." Issei eagerly accepted her offer. "I can do it any time you want."
"It's a date, then." Yuuma smiled as she leaned forward a bit towards Issei. "Good night."
"Yeah. You too." Issei blushed, smiling as he raised his hand up.
Yuuma then turned around as she began to lightly skip away. Though before leaving the area, she turned around to call out to Issei. "I really am happy you're my boyfriend! Hehe!"
"Ditto!" Issei blushed, waving to Yuuma as she continued back on her way. "Bye-bye!"
Once Yuuma was gone, Issei started to become giddy before jumping up and down in excitement like a chimpanzee. "A date! A date! This is bad-ass! I'm so gonna see lady parts!"
Issei then started to run down the stairs of the bridge, all the while continuing on with his joyous acclamations. "I'm the man!"
However, unknown to Issei was that he was being watched by the quiet and petite Koneko, who help a strawberry ice pop in her hand. As she watched him skip away, she liked the ice pop before heading back to the direction of the school.
But, even unbeknownst to Koneko, someone else had been watching the exchange of Issei and Yuuma. Once Koneko was clear from the area, Soundwave's most dangerous and effective companion, Ravage had stalked his way out of some nearby shrubbery.
The black, red eyed jaguar turned his head to the direction where Koneko was heading off to, before looking to where Issei went. After a moment, Ravage walked back into the bushes as he stealthy made his way home to his fellow Decepticons.
It was the earliest stages of night when Ravage had returned to the Decepticon household. Outside of the dojo was Soundwave, who had waited patiently for his old friend's return.
Ravage walked up to Soundwave, prompting the silent con to kneel down to him and run his hand along Ravage's head, down to his back. In doing so, Ravage's eyes glowed for a moment before Soundwave's eyes glowed behind his goggles. Once their respective glows subsided, the two walked inside.
Eventually, they came upon Shockwave, who was in the process of drawing up schematic a cannon of familiar design.
Glancing back to take notice of the silent Con and his mini-con, Shockwave turned away from his work to speak to the two. "Yes? What is it, Soundwave?"
Soundwave merely stared at Shockwave as he walked up to him. Once they were face to face, Soundwave placed his hand to the side of Shockwave's head, causing his eye to glow as well.
Once Soundwave removed his hand from Shockwave's head, the logic-bound scientist's eye lost its glow. After this, Shockwave tilted his head at Soundwave as he spoke. "What a curious change in development."
Meanwhile, in the kitchen of the dojo's house, Megatron was working on hibachi fried rice for dinner. While he found the task tedious, he would admit that being able to taste food was a benefit to being human. There wasn't much variety with Energon, nor did any Cybertronian have the ability to taste its flavor.
Just as he was finishing things up, Soundwave, Shockwave, and Ravage walked in.
"Lord Megatron." Shockwave spoke. "We have news you most definitely wish to hear."
"I'm listening." Megatron as he shut the stove off and turned to his men.
"There has been a breakthrough in the mystery of our abilities." Shockwave informed as he motioned to Soundwave and Ravage, the latter of whom hopped up onto the kitchen island. "Soundwave has began to develop psychic capabilities at an expeditious rate. Already he can communicate telepathically with his mini-cons. Though it thus far seems to require psychical contact. Soundwave has already communicated with me in such a manner, and has something to show you in regards to a stealth mission he had sent Ravage on an hour ago."
Megatron looked over to Soundwave, walking up to him before nodding. "Show me then."
In response, Soundwave placed his hand to the side of Megatron's head. His eyes glowed behind his mask as he thoughts flowed into Megatron's eyes, causing them to glow as well. But unlike the red glow Soundwave and Shockwave emitted, Megatron emitted a purple glow from his eyes. Something taken into heavy notice by Shockwave.
"Intriguing." Shockwave quietly spoke.
Soon enough, Soundwave removed his hand from Megatron, and their eyes reverted to normal.
Megatron then placed his hand to his chin as he thought over what Soundwave had shown him. "I see. That little girl from Gremory's peerage was following Issei and Yuuma. Though perhaps with her sights focused more on that poor excuse of intelligent life. We can assume that with the direction she headed off to, she went back to Kuoh academy. I think Rias might be interested in that boy, the same way she and her allies were interested in us."
"What shall be our next move?" Shockwave asked, all eyes in the kitchen focusing on Megatron.
Megatron thought for a moment before he looked back at Soundwave. "Soundwave, I want to follow Issei on this date of his with Yuuma. Trail their every movement. I want to know everything that happens. With your newfound abilities, it should prove most useful to us in retrieving needed information. But make sure no one spots you, or recognizes you. If Rias is truly invested in Issei, we wouldn't want any known party becoming suspicious of what we're up to."
Soundwave nodded his head in acknowledgment to his leader, fully prepared to carry out his new mission.
"It's time to further test ourselves in this new world." Megatron stated, his eyes filled with hardened determination.

The days came and left before it was finally Sunday afternoon. Issei and Yuuma were well in full swing of their date.
At first they went to clothing store where they looked at shirts for Issei, and laughing at a particular shirt Issei held up in front of himself designed with abs, bullet holes, and Japanese symbols tattooed on each side.
While they were there, Yuuma showed off a wrist scrunchie she had found, brightly smiling to Issei as she tried it on. Issei happily nodded to how it looked on her before offering to buy it, in which Yuuma became ecstatic at the lovely gesture.
Later, they went to restaurant where Issei drank was from a green soda in a glass, and Yuuma ate from a fruit parfait. Issei put his drink down to look at Yuuma, only to notice that her boobs bounced as she shifted in her seat.
"Haahaahaa..." Issei ogled the sight with a heated cheeks.
After eating another bite of her parfait, Yuuma looked up at Issei, giggling a bit at his look. "Are you all right?"
"Huh? Eh!" Issei panicked as he swiftly averted his eyes away from Yuuma, rapidly shaking his head in nervousness. He then went to drink from his soda, but ended up slurping it up so quickly that he started to choke and cough.
"Oh! Take this!" Yuuma rummaged through her purse before reaching over the table to give Issei a handkerchief.
While Issei was coughing still, a waitress came walked over to a table adjacent to the one Issei and Yuuma sat in. She gave a friendly smile at the person sitting at the adjacent table as she spoke to him.
"Is there anything else I can get you, sir?" The waitress asked.
The man sitting at the table looked up to the waitress before shaking his head to her.
"Well, alrighty then. Enjoy your food." The waitress smiled again before walking off.
The man in question was currently eating a chocolate lava cake with ice cream and strawberries on top, alongside a glass of cola. He was currently dressed in light blue turtle neck with a white motorcycle jacket. His pants were white khakis with lime green shoes. Lastly, he wore a light blue flat cap with glass that were tinted so green that you couldn't see his eyes.
To those that noticed him, the man seemed like some kind of hip, fashionista. But for anywho who had truly knew him, or of his current mission, this man was none other than Soundwave in a moderately garish disguise.
Without making any eye contact, he had been listening in to Issei and Yuuma on their date. He made sure to be discreet throughout the afternoon following them. Knowing when to keep his distance and when to move in closer.
So far, the date had yielded that Yuuma seems to very happy with Issei, and that Issei seemed to have a semblance of practical manners. In other words, there was nothing quite of note just yet. However, Soundwave did hear that same, older, feminine voice he kept hearing around Yuuma. While it was nothing as informative as the last time he heard it, the small instances where he did hear it during the date indicated something significant would happen later on in the day. Soundwave would make sure to keep tabs of the progress of their date for as long as it continued, no matter how long that may be.
It was now dusk.
Issei and Yuuma walked up towards a large water fountain at the center of a seemingly empty park. The light coming from the waning Sun seemed to make the water in the fountain almost sparkle in majesty. And all the while Soundwave stood behind some of the trees, peeking out to watch the two from a reasonable distance.
"I sure had fun today." Yuuma told Issei in an soothing tone.
"Yeah. It was the best date ever." Issei agreed.
Just then, Yuuma brushed the back of her hand on Issei's, causing him widen his eyes with a small blush as he began to think to himself. "Dude. I think this is my chance to make a move!"
It was then that Issei strengthens his resolve by holding hands with Yuuma, causing the girl to give a small gasp in surprise before looking down with a blush.
"I'm touching her!" Issei cheered inside of his head.
As Soundwave watched the couple hold hands together, he began to deduce that he was developing the ability to hear another person's thoughts. His main clue to this was that he was hearing Issei speak without his mouth moving, as unremarkable as his thought were. But this confirmation also told Soundwave that the demons voice he had been hearing around Yuuma must have been Yuma's own thoughts. Which now begs the question of who Yuuma truly is, and what her goals are.
Soundwave then watched as Yuuma separated her hand from Issei, skipping up to the water fountain before turning around with her hands behind her back.
"Can I ask you a question?" Yuuma spoke to Issei, stepping closer to him an inch at a time. "In honor of our first date, there's something I'd like you to do. To commemorate this special moment."
"I'm gonna get to kiss her. I'm totally gonna get to kiss her." Issei thought to himself with a light blush, his heart thumping in his chest. "This rocks!"
"Sure, you can ask me for anything at all." Issei told Yuuma, who had her head lowered before him.
Yuuma gave a small smile before looking up to Issei.
"Would you die for me?" Yuuma asked Issei, her voice becoming more mature in tone.
"Eh? Uh-heh. What'd you say?" Issei asked Yuuma with a hint of unsure nervousness as he picked his ear with his finger. "Sorry, something must be wrong with me ears. I don't think I heard you correctly. Could you maybe say that one more time, please? Eh-heheheh."
Had Soundwave been with Issei, the silent Con would have told him he had heard Yuuma correctly the first time. With this new course of action, Soundwave steadied himself in preparation for what might occur.
Yuuma then walked closer to Issei, leaning into his ear as she spoke again. "I want you to die for me. Eh-hehahahaha!"
"Huh?" Issei uttered in shock as Yuuma stepped back from him with a wicked smile, and a devious glint in her eyes.
Yuuma's clothes shattered away to reveal her naked form, as she clutched herself in a seemingly pleasurable state
"Breasticles!" Issei shouted in his mind at the sight. "Those are boobs! My little boy eyes have finally grown into manhood. And she's a super hot chick too! What's that old saying? This is a sight for sore eyes?"
Soundwave shook his head at the current thought process of Issei. Both he and Issei watched as Yuuma not only grew taller in size, but sprouted two, large, black feathered wings from her back before a black liquid formed on parts of her body. The liquid morphed into what seemed like leather strap-like objects that formed around and under her breasts. A thong-like piece covered her nether's with three thin straps helping to hold it up on the left side. Her hands were covered with gloves right up to her arms with small lengths of chain hanging from them. Her shoulder's were now covered with two pauldrons, the right one being larger than the left with three large spikes sprouting from it. And lastly, she now wore black, thigh-high boots.
The sky now seemed to turn completely dark as a purple aura surrounded the area, basking the water fountain under an evil glow.
"This is totally a sight for—wait, no it's not." Issei thought to himself as he fell to the ground, staring at Yuuma in fear. "She looks like a demon! Are those wings?!"
"Well I have to admit, I did have some fun today." Yuuma told Issei with an evil glint in her eyes. "Considering how naive and childish you are, things could have been much much worse."
She then looked to the scrunchie that was still on her left arm. "Thanks a lot for the gift too. Very sweet. But even so..."
Yuuma then held out her hand as a line of red energy spring from her palm. It soon formed into a double-sided red spear that she raised above her head, reacting to strike.
As Issei looked at Yuuma in terror, Soundwave continued to watch the scene unfold from the shadows of the trees. Once the silent Con had seen the energy spear form in Yuuma's hand, he knew things would turn lethal quick enough. Weighing his options in his mind, there was only one word his thoughts ended with.
Scrap.

Author's notes:
Here we are folks. Finally. This chapter is out for you all to enjoy.
This chapter further solidifies the new direction I'm taking with this story compared to the other author and his story. I'm having the Cons interact more with the main cast, and I'm further developing their hidden abilities. The stuff with Soundwave may seem to be going a bit faster than it probably should, given the psychic link stuff, but I needed it to help him communicate with Ravage to see what his mini-con heard and saw at the bridge.
Also, for any of you that didn't notice, Soundwave's disguise during Issei and Rayna—I mean Yuuma's date is based around the color scheme of his Shattered Glass counterpart. I mainly chose it since his G2 colors are way too gaudy, and it just felt like it worked better.
But anyways, after a year of waiting, I've left this chapter on a cliffhanger for you all. Fun! You can thank me or hate me later. But do keep in mind that with this chapter out I do intend to bring this story back on my regular schedule.
Of course, I gotta rework like the first two chapters. The first one just has a far more terrible writing style compared to what I do now, so I just need to rework it so it can fit better.
So with that said, Praise be the Decepticons my friends, and I will see you all next time.
