The Ascendant One

(y/n) kicked Loki's barrier, trying his best to get through it, but none of his attacks could ever get through. 

"(y/n)! Please stay back!" begged Rossweisse, "I'm the only one that can fight him! You'll just end up getting hurt!" 

"That may be, but there's no way I can just let a fight like this pass me by!" 

He leaped away from Loki and fired a Kamehameha, but it did nothing against the barrier. 

Rossweisse flew in after (y/n)'s attack and tried to cut him with her sword. Loki danced around her swords like they were nothing. Suddenly, (y/n) turned into a Super Saiyan, with the force from the transformation getting Loki's attention. 

"Where are you looking?!" yelled Rossweisse as she summoned another sword and slashed away at Loki. 

With his guard down, she actually managed to land a scratch on Loki's face. He pushed her away and fired an energy blast to try and defeat her, but (y/n) teleported in front of her and swatted it away. 

"Keep it up, Teach! Put the pressure on him!" 

(y/n) fired another Kamehameha to distract Loki as Rossweisse used a magic circle to hit Loki with a beam attack from behind. Loki recoiled from the attack and tried to retaliate, but (y/n) destroyed any attack that came her way. The Trickster God was obviously losing his cool over the Student-Teacher combination that was working against him. Loki summoned his own magic circles again and rained fire upon (y/n) and Rossweisse, but this one had more power behind it. The attack blasted them back to the ground. 

"Rossweisse first," groaned (y/n) to Asia when she tried to heal him. 

"Did you really think you stood a chance against me?!" yelled Loki, "Me?! I am a God! You are nothing compared to me!" 

"What do we do?" asked Rossweisse, "I'm not nearly strong enough to beat him alone and you guys can't even touch him!" 

"I have an idea..." replied (y/n). 

He flew up to meet Loki. 

"I'm gonna hit you with everything I got. After everything you said, you won't try and dodge this one, will you?" 

"Oh, please... Just get on with it..." 

Loki rolled his eyes as (y/n) flew just a little higher than him. He held his hands above his head and began to concentrate. A blue ball began to form above his raised hands and as his power began to grow, so too did the energy ball grow. Off of his own energy alone, the energy ball had grown to almost double his height.

"Everyone!" yelled (y/n), "Please! Raise your hands to the sky and lend me your energy!" 

Xenovia raised a hand to (y/n) and felt her energy drain from her as she collapsed breathlessly on the ground. 

"Xenovia! Are you okay?!" asked Issei. 

"I-I'm fine!" replied Xenovia, "Just a little out of breath!" 

With the Xenovia's donated energy, the energy ball was noticeably bigger. (y/n) looked up to see that the energy ball was hundreds of times bigger than it was before thanks to all the energy donated. 

"W-Wow! This is amazing!" (y/n) exclaimed, "This is it! This is everything we have!" 

"Even so!" yelled Loki, "It's still worth nothing in comparison to me!" 

"I wouldn't be too sure about that!" (y/n) yelled, "This is our Spirit Bomb!" 

The Spirit Bomb slowly began to shrink as (y/n) struggled to keep it up above his head. The combined attack, however, just kept smaller and smaller as (y/n) struggled even more. 

"What's happening?! Is he losing it?!" worried Issei. 

"No! He's condensing it into a singular point!" noticed Rias. 

Blue lightning sparked off of (y/n)'s body as he tried harder and harder to condense the Spirit Bomb into a much smaller mass. He yelled as he forcibly moved his hands closer together, forcing the Spirit Bomb to shrink with it. Eventually, he was able to get it to a point where it was the size of a normal Ki Ball that he could hold in his hand. Sweat dripped off his body as he relished in his small, yet still powerful Spirit Bomb. 

"What? Are you going to throw it at me? You know you can't pierce my barrier!" mocked Loki.

"I know I can't..." sighed (y/n), "But we, together, can!" 

(y/n) crushed the Spirit Bomb in his hands and let the combined energy of everyone flow through his body simultaneously. (y/n) yelled as the energy of 11 different people surged all over his body. A yellow aura surrounded (y/n) as he continued to yell against the overwhelming pressure. His hair and tail never turn gold, but the yellow aura around him only seemed to get larger and larger. That yellow aura eventually changed to a red one as a similar red glow surrounded his body, making it impossible to see him. 

A spectacular wave of heat emerged from the red ball of energy that surrounded (y/n). 

The red aura started the chip away, revealing a new figure: 

His hair was still the same style as his base form, but it was red along with his eyes and tail. His body was noticeably thinner and he even looked a bit younger. 

"So! A new color?!" mocked Loki again, "It'll be nothing compared to me!" 

Suddenly, (y/n) teleported behind Loki and grabbed him by the throat. 

"W-What the hell?!" he gasped, "You can touch me?!" 

(y/n) threw him to the side and fired a ki blast that sent him flying away. 

Xenovia looked on in awe at this new form until she felt a pair of hands on her shoulders. 

"Xenovia..." 

She yelped in surprise as she turned around to see (y/n). 

"W-What is this?" said Xenovia in disbelief.

She took his hand into hers. It was soft. Warm. 

"You touched him! You actually touched him!" exclaimed Rossweisse, "That means you must be..."

"A God?!" yelled Issei. 

"It appears so," said (y/n) calmly, "Thanks to the energy that you've provided, I've become a Super Saiyan God." 

"Just be feeling your presence, there's no denying it!" Rias said, "You're a deity!" 

(y/n) winked at Rias as he began to fly up. 

"Rossweisse? Care to join me?" 

"O-Oh no... I couldn't... I can't..." 

He took her hand into his and raised her up with him. 

"I'll need your help to beat him!" (y/n) smiled. 

Although he didn't notice, she was blushing at (y/n)'s warm touch. 

Hand-in-hand, they faced a recovering Loki. 

"You! Saiyan! This transformation! How could you become a God?!"

"I'm full of surprises!" (y/n) said confidently. 

"Follow my lead..." whispered (y/n) into Rossweisse's ear. 

She blushed again as she felt his hot breath on her ear. 

In the blink of an eye, (y/n) moved forward and dug his knee into Loki's stomach, sending him crashing into the ground below. (y/n) launched a huge Kamehameha down at Loki, who tried to counter it with a beam blast of his own. However, upon contact with (y/n)'s attack, the Kamehameha dispersed into dozens of smaller individual attacks. Loki yelled as he felt the force of every beam hit his body. (y/n)'s assault wasn't done yet, as he teleported behind the bruised Loki and kicked him up to Rossweisse, who managed land a decent cut in with her blade. 

Loki tried to blast her away, but (y/n) was able to catch his attack before he even was able to fully extend his arm. (y/n) brought his knee to Loki's arm, breaking it with a sick snap and earning a howl of pain from the Trickster God. He held Loki in place for Rossweisse to run him through with his sword, but he vanished and reappeared behind his attacker, popping his arm back into place. 

"This red transformation is beginning to overwhelm me!" thought Loki, "I can't lose here! I'm not going back to Warenai!" 

Rossweisse noticed that (y/n) was breathing quite heavily. 

"Are you okay?" she asked, putting a hand on his shoulder. 

"The power I gained from all of you... I'm having some trouble keeping it up on my own..." sighed (y/n), "Let's finish this up quickly!" 

(y/n) made a Ki Blade and extended it so that it dug through Loki's shoulder. The Trickster God coughed up blood as Rossweisse rushed in to land a blow of her own. Lokki crushed the Ki Blade before narrowly dodging a sword stab from Rossweisse. Before Loki could even think of a counterattack, (y/n) appear behind Rossweisse and moved to punch Loki in the face. 

The blow sent him back, but he fired a large beam of energy to try and stave off his two attackers

"Kame...Hame...HAAA!!!" 

(y/n) roared as the signature technique of the Turtle Hermit Style ripped through Loki's attacks and hit him square on. He yelled as he was forced into the ground by (y/n)'s Godly assault. Loki hit the ground but was driven further into the ground before the God Kamehameha finally ended. Loki could barely stand up as he faced the Super Saiyan God, whose form finally expired. Red returned to black as (y/n) sighed in relief. 

"T-This... wasn't how this was... supposed to go!" cried Loki. 

"It's over, Loki... You've been beaten."

Rossweisse landed beside him and summoned a magic circle around Loki. 

"Put him under as many layers of sealing that you can. We don't want him getting away again." 

Before Rossweisse could begin, Loki began to yell in pain. He held his head as he fell to the ground, writhing around like a worm. He began to cough up blood as he groaned in what seemed like unbearable agony. Suddenly, a force went out that blew (y/n) and Rossweisse back to the group. 

"What's happening?!" asked Rias. 

"I don't know!" yelled Rossweisse over the winds that came from Loki, "We had him beat, and then this just came out of nowhere!" 

Loki got up and released a powerful black aura that could be felt from miles away. Unfortunately for (y/n), he realized it wasn't Loki's aura. 

It was his

He was here. 

Somehow. 

Some way. 

He was here.

Loki rose up from the ground with new vigor as the sickening black aura surrounded him. 

"WE HAD A DEAL!!!" screamed (y/n) to the God above. 

Loki, or whoever was behind that aura, simply smiled. He held his hand in the air and conjured an energy sphere that was almost double the size and power of (y/n)'s Spirit Bomb. With one hand, he threw it down, making its way to the Gremory Peerage. 

"If that thing hits..." said Rias, "It'll be the end of Hell as we know it!" 

"We have to stop it!" yelled Issei as he fired a Dragon Shot at the energy sphere. 

Everyone did the same. Even Gasper, who wasn't the greatest at Ki Control, fired a small blast of his own. Everyone's attacks halted the energy ball, but only for a moment, as it inched closer and closer to the ground. 

"There's nothing we can do to stop this thing!" yelled Issei, "What are we going to do?!" 

As everyone kept pushing back, (y/n) had a final idea. 

"I'm so sorry..." he said, "This is all my fault." 

(y/n) flew forward and began to push the energy ball back with his own hands. 

"(y/n)!" screamed Xenovia. 

His hands burned as he pushed back against Loki's attack with everything he had. Everyone's attacks were helping, but they weren't enough to get the job done.

"T-This is it..." thought (y/n), "It's time to repent..." 

The energy ball seemed to inch closer and closer as more time passed. (y/n)'s hands began to char as he pushed against the unstoppable force. His arms, along with his hands, were enveloped in the burning energy. Soon, his entire body was enveloped in Loki's energy. He could feel himself burning. He could feel himself dying. He looked back to see the mortified expressions of his friends. 

"My love... My life... I give it all to you..." 

(y/n) could barely stay awake as every part of his body screamed out in pain. Summoning all the energy he had left, he created an explosion that turned his hair red one more time. The Hell-Breaking Energy Ball was destroyed along with (y/n) as he tumbled to the ground in a steaming heap. 

"You... were always... the bravest of us..." cried Xenovia as she put a hand on (y/n)'s charred body. 

The form of (y/n) completly unrecognizable. His skin was now a burnt black and his hair was burnt off. There wasn't a single part of him that wasn't burnt beyond recognition. His eyes were seared shut and smoke came off his body. Asia began to use her Twilight Healing on (y/n), trying to restore him. His blackened skin eventually returned to its original color. He looked just the same, but he never woke up.

"Please... Please..."  begged Asia as she cried, "Come back! Please!" 

He never did.

Xenovia held his hand as she silently mourned her hero. 

Issei's hands balled into fists as he looked upon the smiling form of Loki, who seemed to be enjoying the spectacle. 

"You'll... You'll pay for this!" screamed Issei, "You'll pay for killing my friend!" 

A crimson hue surrounded Issei as he tapped in to his ultimate transformation: Cardinal Crimson Promotion. 

"Longinus Smasher!" yelled Issei as a powerful red beam came out of the green jewel on Issei's chest. 

Unfortunately, it did nothing against Loki's barrier. Issei charged Loki as he laughed at the futility of his situation. 

"You are no God! You can never defeat me!" laughed Loki. 

"I may not, but Ddraig can!" retaliated Issei. 

The green jewel on Issei's gauntlet glowed as a form of the Red Dragon appeared from it. It completly bypassed Loki's barrier and ran him straight through. 

"Dragon Fist!" 

A hole was left in Loki's chest after Ddraig had gone right through it. 

"I-Impossible..." groaned Loki as he fell to the ground. 

He died in a pool of his own blood as Issei ran back to Rias. 

"H-How is he?!" he asked frantically. 

Rias didn't respond but looked up at him with teary eyes. 

Issei bit his lip and kneeled down next to his fallen friend.

____________________________________

(y/n) opened his eyes to see himself in the infinite frontier that was space. He looked behind him to see the Earth. He smiled when he saw such a familiar sight in an otherwise empty void. 

"Ascendent One..." 

(y/n) looked behind him to see a familiar figure. 

"Master..." 

"Nonsense. Like me, you are a God now. We are equals." 

"Thank you, Yamoshi." 

"The path I set you on after you came to me is complete. Now that you are here, I offer you a choice. Come with me to complete your training, or stay here, and toil in the wind like a beautiful autumn leaf." 

"Y-You don't make it easy..." 

"It's not supposed to be an easy choice. You can choose to exist down there, amongst the strife and pain of humanity. Or you can come with me and leave everything you know behind." 

(y/n) thought for a moment, looking to the Earth and then back to his master. 

"I think... I'm gonna stay on Earth. I've put a lot of work in here, and I'd like to see it through." 

"If that is your choice, then I will give up my life so that you can live yours." 

"Master, there's no way I can allow that." 

"My life is coming to an end, Arugo. After existing for thousands of years, I am finally ready to rest. Take good care of them and they will take care of you." 

"Master... I won't forget your sacrifice." 

"I know you won't."
