Everyone was at the home of Rias and her family as Ryu seemed to be slightly on edge.

Ryu: I have a BAAAAD feeling all of a sudden.

Rias: Ryu, this place is safe, and on top of that you can literally blow up planets. No being in the underworld could possibly match you.

???: RIAS RIAS!! YOU'RE FINALLY HOME!!!

From the hall they all saw a young boy with short red hair running down the halls.

Ryu: No. No no no no no...

Coco: That bad feeling you had was for a completely different reason.

Rias: I've missed you Millicas. My you've gotten big since the last time I saw you!

MILLICAS GREMORY!!

Issei: Who's this half pint?

Ryu: ANOTHER FUCKING CHERRY HEAD?!!! I PREPARED MYSELF TO DEAL WITH ONLY 3 NOT A FUCKING FOURSOME!!!

Rias: Ryu, please at least show some restraint from cursing around my nephew. Now be a good boy and say hello.

Millicas: Okay! My name is Millicas Gremory, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Asia: So cute!

Xenovia: Devilish looks and good manners, talk about Prince Charming.

Ryu: ... You are lucky you are a pure child.

Shonen: Aside from the Devil thing yeah.

Grayfia: Lord Ryu, can you please refrain from already disliking my son?

Ryu: Hey silver hair if it were up to me he'd be in the nearest church right- Did you just say you're son?

Grayfia opened the door to the other room ignoring his question.

Ryu: Hey don't dodge that question Grayfia-

Millicas: Rias and her friends are here!!

???: My my, what poor behavior.

They all saw a woman with brown hair that bore a great resemblance to a certain red haired Devil girl in the room.

Ryu: So are we gonna talk about how this ones basically a copy and paste of Cherry Head? Or would it technically be the other way around?

Akeno: It's a pleasure to see you again. It's been far too long, Lady Venelena.

VENELENA GREMORY!!

The ORC Devils and Coco bowed to her.

Venelena: And it's good to see you all as well. I can only imagine the four of you with the incredibly high power are the Four Demigods of Calamity?

Erica: Yup.

Venelena: It is a pleasure to meet you finally.

Ryu was about to say something once again before a felt a familiar presence once again.

Ryu: There it is again.

He turned his head to another room farther down the hall.

Ryu: I don't like intruding on other people's businesses, trust me I don't, but who's in that room?

They all saw the way his head was turned before Rias' eyes widened.

Rias: She's here?

Both Venelena and Grayfia smiled. Ryu already started walking to the door unable to fully recognize the presence.

Ryu: This one's definitely someone I've met in this life, just who?

Rias was behind him as he opened the door. He saw a girl with with bright red hair, but with blue highlights.

Rias: Valerie!

(Couldn't find a pic with red hair)

VALERIE GREMORY!!

Valerie: OH MY GOSH RIAS!!!

She got up from her seat and hugged Rias.

Ryu: 'Really Fang? You just couldn't leave it at that point before? You reincarnated her as the sister of Rias?'

Rias: I can't believe it's already been 2 years! I've missed you so much!

Valerie: I missed you too big sis!!

The others looked from outside the door.

Rias: Right, I should probably introduce her. This is Valerie, she's my little sister by 2 years.

Azure: 'And apparently silicone runs through the family too because a 17 year old should not have a chest that size.'

Valerie looked at Ryu turning her head before walking closer to him.

Valerie: Uhhh, I don't exactly want to make this sound weird but, have we met before?

Rias: Uh, if I'm not mistaken, this the first time Ryu's ever been in the underworld so you two couldn't have-

Ryu: Uhhh, technically I've met you. At least I'm pretty sure.

Valerie: O_O Pretty sure?

All: That's what she's confused about?

Ryu: *Sigh* Yup, you are definitely her. Well Valerie, I'm pretty sure you have a few questions, but I have to go for a walk from the realizations that there are a total of 4 fucking Cherry Heads, you not included because of the white in your hair-

Rias: OH COME ON!!!

Ryu: So I'll explain this the next time I see you.

He casually jumped out the window into the court yard.

Valerie: ... There's gonna be a pile of bodies soon isn't there?

Issei: He won't waste time trying to throw them in a general direction. But what did he mean be he already met you?

Valerie: I don't know, but he does seem really familiar to me. It's kind of hard to explain. It's like I already like him...

A warm feeling enveloped her body as she felt a sudden jolt.

Valerie: ... But I'm afraid of him too?

TIME SKIP!!

IN THE SKIES

Ryu flew on the back of Camelot letting out a sigh.

Ryu: Ok I think I'm good.

Camelot: A 3 hour walk. You must've really been annoyed master.

Ryu: Eh, having 4 Cherry Heads in the same realm as you will do that to a guy. But I think I got it out of my system. Especially since probably most people in the area saw you.

Camelot: Fair enough. By the way, when were you going to tell me you were a Demigod of Calamity?

Ryu: At random probably.

They landed at the Gremory household as Camelot transformed back into human form. Ryu patted her head before she disappeared. Ryu already not caring about who lived in the palace once again kicked open the door. He sensed where everyone was and found they were all in the dinning room.

Ryu: Alright I'm back.

Zeoticus: Ah, Lord Ryu, it's good to see you again.

Ryu: Yeah hey Cherry Head Elder.

Zeoticus: ... Elder?

Rias: He added it to not confuse you with me. And he says Senior for brother.

Millicas: Well what about me?

Rias: Millicas you don't have to-

Ryu: Jr.

Rias: Never fucking mind.

Zeoticus: So, I here you and my daughter might have met?

Ryu: Well I was sorta skeptical at first but yeah I've definitely met her. Just not the other way around.

Issei: Ok NOW I'm confused.

Ruby: What do you mean by that?

Aero and Azure thought back to a small story Ryu had told.

Aero: Hold on, you don't mean she's-

Ryu: Valerie here is the Reincarnation of my old "Friend" Esdeath.

Valerie: Wait I'm what now?

Venelena: Wait, are you sure that's who she is?

Ryu: Well, do you have insanely strong ice powers?

Valerie jumped in her seat hearing this.

Valerie: How did you guess?!

Ryu: Yup, that proves it.

Azure: Hold on, Esdeath was in an entirely different dimension, how the hell could that work?

Ryu: Well it might be a little stretch, but when I killed her, I used flames that burned through space and time. Probably the only explanation was that she was sent to this world and Reincarnated by a giant red mother fucker who definitely overheard me.

Zeoticus: Flames that burn through space and time?

Valerie: Ummm, doesn't that sound like a stretch?

Coco: Believe it or not he does have that power.

Valerie: Also, correct me if I heard this wrong, but did you say, KILL me? I thought you said we were friends!

Ryu: Our relationship back then could only be described as complicated as all hell.

Shojo: It's about right.

Valerie looked around slightly confused.

Valerie: Everyone heard that too right?

Venelena: Hear what dear?

Erica: ... By any chance, was that voice kinda high pitched, but belonging to a grown woman?

Valerie: Yeah.

Karma: Well Ryu, you did it again.

Ryu: -_- Why do I have a feeling someone is about to start finding creative ways to mess with me?

TIME SKIP!!

Mountains

Ryu was taking some time to look at his surroundings in the underworld.

Ryu: This place actually isn't that bad when I look at it.

He casually caught the fist of Koneko before flicking his wrist throwing her back.

Ryu: Ugh, Neko, I thought I told you to meditate. What I have to teach you can't be brought out with brute force.

Koneko: Ryu, I've been meditating for at least 30 minutes.

Ryu: And you've still got another hour and 30 to go.

Koneko: I can't just sit down while everyone is getting better than me. I need you to start teaching me something that will work.

Ryu: *Sigh* Koneko, do you really think I'd waste time teaching someone anything that I know wouldn't be possible for them to learn?

Koneko: ...

Ryu: What you have to do first is clear your mind. You can't be this tense, you won't be able to learn how to control your Ki like that.

Koneko: Ki?

Ryu held up his finger creating a large blue blast over it.

Ryu: Yeah, this stuff.

Koneko seemed mesmerized as the Demigod went on to speak.

Ryu: This power is something that's not easily drawn out. Being distracted isn't gonna help. One wrong slip-

He pointed his finger the mountain as the blast flew at it creating a hole that went all the way though.

Ryu: Ally's gets hurt. This method is one I used to get all my Ki in balance. So, go over, and be patient.

Koneko: ... Ok.

He climbed back on the top of the mountain continuing to meditate on a rock.

Ryu: She doesn't even realize it but she's already starting to balance her own Ki.

Ryu looked at Koneko seeing a small aura around her.

Ryu: It took me around an hour to get to this point. She may even get it faster.

Shojo: Well for your credit that was after you were getting used to the kid body again.

WITH AZURE AND AKENO!!

Akeno was shooting lightning at Azure with the black and white haired man not even needing to dodge tanking the hits.

Azure: Akeno, this is pathetic.

He appeared behind Akeno grabbing her by the shoulder.

Azure: That thunder isn't even close to being the real deal.

Akeno: Well how do you do it then?

Azure: Yours is just a spark now.

He held out his hand creating what seemed to be sparks of electricity.

Azure: To be able to harness and create true lightning you have to look inside yourself and ask the questions that you fear. Then take that fear, those raw emotions, and channel it into those sparks.

The sparks started to grow and become much more ferocious until they enveloped Azure's hand.

Azure: Then using your power make it explode!

Azure put his hand up in the air as a lightning shot into the sky.

Akeno: That was a good explanation, but why just do all that to shoot it into the sky?

Azure: Wait for it.

A second later lighting struck in front of the two.

Azure: And that's on not giving any real effort.

WITH KARMA AND RIAS

Karma was lazily dodging Rias' attacks almost seeming to make sport out of it.

Karma: Rias, your red and black blast aren't gonna catch me even if I'm blind. At this point I may actually try it. Do something out of the ordinary.

Rias: GRRR!! Why you-

Rias tried going in for hand to hand combat but quickly found herself on the ground with Karma standing hold one of her arms back.

Rias: OW OW OW!!

Karma: *Sigh* You act with too much uncertainty.

Rias: What do you mean by that?!

Karma: I mean that literally. I could see you nearly scrambling to figure out what kind of attack you'd throw out and was able to use that. It has nothing to do with me being a DemiGod either. I also heard how you were in the rating game with Riser.

Rias: Yeah yeah, I'm sure Ryu told you something on the lines of "Cherry Head was so boneheaded".

Karma: And you let you're guard down, and you were sloppy, and sorta predictable too.

Rias: -_-

Karma: What I'm trying to get at is that you can barely adapt when you're caught by surprise. Your poker face can catch the opponent off guard a little but that's it. Also, you've gotta learn to keep a cool head too.

Rias: Did Ryu say that too?

Karma: No, it's just obvious when I see how you get so defensive over Issei.

Rias: I don't get defensive!

Karma: See what I mean?

Rias: ... Okay you got me there.

WITH ERICA AND ISSEI

Erica: Come on Issei, I'm sure you put a lot more effort in your training with Ryu, so why not with me?

Issei was on his hands and knees panting as Erica was sitting on top of a pile of rubble.

Issei: *Cough* I was weaker when I trained with him, but it wasn't nearly as tough as this!

Erica: That's because he didn't want to break you. Ryu might be a jackass but he has a heart. Even so he told me I couldn't exactly take it easy on you in the slightest. My training methods are extreme but affective. Instead of gradually building up the difficulty I need to see exactly how good you are to determine what to do.

Ddraig: She's different this one. I believe the word you'd use for someone like Erica is "Hardcore?"

Issei: Yeah that's one of em.

She disappeared before reappearing behind Issei putting him into a chokehold.

Erica: Wanna rephrase that?

Issei: I DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING BAD!!!

BACK WITH RYU AND KONEKO

Koneko had kept meditating as over an hour had passed.

Ryu: Alright Neko, you're good.

Koneko opened her eyes before making her way to the ground.

Ryu: First, let's start with the basics.

He held out his hand creating a light.

Ryu: Drawing it out. Listen to the center of your body until you start to feel a pull, then bring it out.

It formed into a Ki blast.

Ryu: Pretty simple really. It works along the same lines as Magic.

???: It looks like it, but it seems a little less supernatural.

They looked and saw Valerie watching.

Ryu: Oh, hey Icy.

Valerie: Uhhh, why'd you call me that?

Ryu: Your new nickname, obviously. But anyway your right. Even though both Ki and Magic are brought out in similar ways, it just depends which one you want to use.

Koneko seemed to try to bring it out as Ryu said. Though he immediately noticed the problem.

Ryu: Ah, your forcing it too much. A rookie mistake. Let it flow out.

Koneko took a breath before letting herself loosen up. After a few seconds the glowing light came out.

Ryu: Good, you're a sorta fast learner.

Valerie seemed to hold out her hand looking at it.

Ryu: What are you trying to do?

Valerie: Uh, if I'm right, you both did it like this.

She seemed to be concentrating as after about 10 good seconds, the light formed in her hand.

Ryu: O_O

Koneko: You have got to be joking.

It dispersed in a few seconds as she let out a sigh of relief.

Valerie: Whew, that took a little effort.

Koneko was about to open her mouth before Ryu covered it.

Ryu: -_- Neko, you say one word, and I'll punt you into the river.

Shojo: Ryu, didn't you take time to figure out how to do it WITH mediation.

Valerie: He did?

Ryu: Fuck. You. Fang.

CHAPTER END!!
