3 years after last chapter.

The household of the gremory clan hasn't changed too much but a certain individual within has changed quite a bit, Akuma or his actual name he still prefers oryx. Had grown up quite a bit and was now back at full power.

Upon him turning eight, his power from his previous life had fully manifested within himself and was about to unleash something destructive. So in order to save the entire underworld from being destroyed by him unleashing his power. So knowing the best place to go he went to his throne world, which was exactly like his old throne world back in his previous life. Upon his arrival darkness consumed everything, from the mass of shadows and red energy he donned his old form, for the first time in eight long years. As the power he had back then was now finally back in his possession, and upon him standing over the edge looking over his throne world he smiled to himself.

So desperately did the guardians try to extinguish him and yet here he was, standing here within his own world of darkness, which was an existence all to itself. His legend, his dynasty had yet to be ended.

"They tried so hard but failed, just like my sister's attempts to kill me. But now I'm stronger then before." He held out his hand as the power of Destruction began to surge through his being, condensing it down into a small ball on the tip of his finger he pointed it at a nearby planet. And let it fly.

The gargantuan beam of crimson flew through the vacuum of space before slamming into the planets crust that he aimed at. And the destruction that was caused was well.... 

Devastating pure and utter devastation, the shrapnel that was launched from this overwhelming display of destructive might flew through the vacuum of space slamming into moons and blasting off huge chunks of them.

The king of Darkness looked upon this with a smile. He had not lost his touch, furthermore this power. this power of Destruction, it has proven itself to be a formidable weapon for the king to utilize.

"Yes this is good but I shouldn't make a huge movements just yet, I have no idea what exists in this world, so I need to play this smart. I cannot let my rage and anger cloud me this time around, so the best course of action is to simply lie low gather information and then make my move. Funny I'm using the same strategy that Savathun manly used, and I can't lie it's a good tactic but now."

The king summoned his sword and grabbed a hold of its handle plunging it into the ground he simply stood there upon the ledge as he watched the pieces of the scorched planet float.

"I shall not fail again."

Time skip at the Gremory house.

Akuma could be seen once again siting within the library of the gremory household, as he skimmed through yet another book. Letting out a tiresome sigh he tossed the book as it landed on top of all the other hundreds of others he's read.

"Waste of my time" his voice was lined with a very strong sense of annoyance, his eyes portrayed his anger for such nonsense. "This is useless nothing but child fantasy stories, or poorly written story's about maids, I swear whoever wrote theses book had a very huge fetish for maids."

"Ow son, what are you doin here?"

The reborn taken King looked at the devil who just walked in, and saw it was his "father".

"Ow hello dad" Akuma just uttering that word caused his being to feel a sickening feeling. "What can I do for you?"

"What can't a father spend some quality time with his precious son?" The strongest Satan walked over to his offspring and placed his hand upon his head, he began to rub his head while his fingers ran through his son's black soft hair.

"Father, stop" Akuma was glaring at his father while trying discreetly to pull himself away.

"Ow no need to try And run, I mean don't you miss this? After all you know I really can't spend much time with you, thanks to my job as a Satan so I was hoping to at least be able to spend this little time with you."

'I swear to the deep if you do not stop rubbing my head I'm going to tear off your arm!' Oryx glared at him but calmed himself down, because losing this cool now would be not the greatest thing to do at the moment in time.

"Ow come on you hurt your dear papa with those eyes." The crimson Satan smiled brightly as he looked upon his son.

"Father please" Akuma rolled his eyes as he looked up at him, "I'm not a your natural kid, I can take care of myself and I don't need pampering. I'm not my aunt who always want to be noticed and praised."

"Hey now what did we say about bad talking your aunt, yes rias does have her flaws but we all do. Not to mention she's going to be the next head of the family so when that comes could you be by her side my little warrior."

All throughout this little speech, the Crimson Satan had the same smile as a father who looked upon his son with joy, he beamed with a sense of pride as he should. Parents should always have pride in their children and now he and Grayfia's first child Akuma, was a beacon of joy for them. Because he is there ideal dream child, and they couldn't ask for more.

And yes this was there First because not to long ago when Akuma was only seven, Grayfia gave birth to another boy his name was Millicas Gremory. And now the young boy was only three years old and Sirzechs couldn't be any happier.

Oryx upon hearing the name of his "little brother" he stoped and looked at his father with displeased eyes. Although he didn't move his mouth piece he didn't need to in order to silently tell how he felt about this "brother of his".

'Simply another annoyance I have to deal with.'

While this happened the Satan didn't seem to notice his son's more than displeased face at the mention of his brother, if anything he was caught within his own little world of thoughts.

"Well besides all that son I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Replayed the young devil with an emotionless tone.

"Well first try and cheer up son, second Serafall Leviathan will be coming over to pick you up. Me and your mother think that it should be good of you meet the other Satan's and get to now them."

If this day couldn't possibly get any worse his father just brought up the one individual who seems to irritate him more than all others, Serafall Leviathan.

This.... This childish woman! ANNOYED the king to the very CORE!

"Father anyone but her."

"Ahahah ow cheer up Akuma, I now that Serafall's childish nature can annoy some people but she really likes you, as do most of the devils in our society. So come on get your things ready and let's go!!"

'who's exactly supposed to be the child here?' retorted the king within his mind as he saw his father's childish nature once again. But against his better judgment he stood up from the place at which he wants that and walked out of the library preparing himself for the very very annoying encounter that is around the corner.

The Crimson Satan simply looked at the table and at the pile of books his son had read through seeing some of the more.... "Private books" that he hid, he looked around to make sure no one was watching before slowly sliding them into a pouch that was inside his armor.

"All right no one saw anything... Got to find a new hiding spot for these."

"Sirzechs what are you doing? You have work to get back to."

Sirzechs froze fearfully, slowly turning his head with sweat dripping down was his wife with a not so happy expression on her face.

"Sirzechs Gremory! What have I told you about skipping out on your work!" She grabbed him by his ear and dragged him away with him whining and yelling.

Akuma watching this simply remained silent, he shook his head in disbelief that this was his "new family".

'well at least I don't have to worry about serafal- ....why the hell are there marshmallows on my head?' but soon it clicked and he sighed. 'just great she came herself.'

"AKUMA!!! OW I MISSED YOU!!!"

Yup this is serafall Leviathan, considered the strongest female devil and the biggest fan of Magical Girl's ever. And one of if not the BIGGEST annoyances to ever! EVER!! Stand before the king of the taken himself.

But soon after her squeals of excitement he taken King was pulled into one of Serafall's breath smothering holds. As she began to squeeze the hell out of them like a giant plushie, oryx on the other hand was debating if he could get away with murder if he killed this girl here and now. But realizing that would probably just cause him problems in the long run he calmed the annoyingness he was feeling to a degree. As he unsummoned the dagger that was resting in his hand.

"Well hello to you to serafall."

"Mooo Akuma!!! I told you to call me
Levia-tan!!"

"Absolutely not."

"What was that?" Oryx could feel the surrounding areas growing colder but to him it was nothing the guy stands in the vacuum of space without any problems so this was absolutely nothing to him.

"You heard me Leviathan, I'm not calling you by that stupid nickname but can we just get this on and over with? I have things I need to do."

Prying himself from her hold he walked down the hallways as the ice Satan simply looked at him with saddened eyes, although he was a child he never acted like this he was strict he was always working himself hard it always put a slight fear in her heart. Because he reminded himself of her during a Time long pass where she never had the time to be a child like all the others she got to see around her, no always concerned with work always concerned with other affairs rather than the enjoyment of just simply experiencing the joys of life. That's why she was a child or at least had such a childish personality because she never had or was given the chance to experience that kind of joy. And it felt like no matter how many times she tried to help the boy it seems like he never wanted to change always maintaining to a strict conduct which he followed daily.

'ow Akuma, you need to see that there is more to life then just nobility and honor. There are times in life where you need to simply experience Joy although I have the strange feeling that you don't want that kind of joy. But why?'

As she watched him walk away but as she looked upon his being walking down the darkened hallways she couldn't help but envisioned him walking down a path of shadows and darkness. With each passing step descending deeper and deeper into it, sinking yet breathing in the abyss.

"But don't worry Akuma! Magical girl Levia-tan will help you out! I'll help you enjoy the finest and best joy in life!! And that's a promise!"

The king stopped and looked back before scoffing as he walked away. 'that girl'.

Time skip outside the gremory household

Akuma was walking around the underworld, and the massive city that was around his house he wondered through there streets and caught sight of many devil's who were going about there day to day lives.

As he explored he couldn't help but notice that the people who caught sight of his being got out of his way as fast as possible. Some would have the look of fear, others admiration but all these were meaningless and insignificant to the king reborn.

While that happened he spotted two people that well.... Let's just say that half of this duo he doesn't get along well with.

The girl had bright orange/yellowish hair and shining blue eyes. Dresses within a bright pink dress which showed of her states as a noble.

Then the other was well, an older male with orange hair, upon his body was a nicely crafted and designed red suit.

(He's just younger)

"Ow Akuma, what brings you here?"

The girl was the first to speak, and he turned his eyes to her. Her name was Ravel Phoenix, youngest child of the Phoenix family.

Then the boy was Riser Phoenix, the middle child and a cocky, arrogant, smug as bastered! Of the Phoenix family.

"Nothing Ravel. What are you doing?"

"Ow me and brother are just doing some shopping, after all my birthday just passed and I wanted to do something with brother but never got the chance to. So I thought today we could do something."

"Ow, very well then. We'll have fun with your day, I'll leave you to it."

Turning away and begining to walk away Ravel looked upon this action with a look of surprise before quickly moving accordingly to counter it, she reached out and grabbed his arm stopping him in his tracks. The king of the Taken looked upon the girl with a questioning look.

"W-well if you don't mind I would like to h-hang out with you has well. "

Oryx knew damn well why Ravel Phoenix of all people would want to hang out with someone like him, it's because of there arranged marriage that is to take place in the future. So now without anything else she could say about said situation she was forced to go along with it. And now she was trying to get to now more about the person that she would be married to, because of there family's decisions.

Oryx looked at her before signing, "fine just don't expect to much. Im not much of a people person."

Ravel smiled "that's fine".

Now the duo turned trio now went through the city with Ravel having a joyful smile upon her face at all time. While the brother not so much.

When Ravel went inside a shop the two boys were left alone and riser glared at the young devil. Who seem to show no sign of reaction probably because he didn't care.

"You know if you have something then just say it."

"Tch, why would Riser say anything to the likes of you?"

"Because you keep glaring at me all the time and you keep looking at me like we have some kind of problem so tell me..."

With eyes as cold as the abyss itself, he stared into the eyes of riser. But for the member of the Phoenix clan he felt like his very soul was being forcefully gouged open. As his felt like at any moment in time his being would snap.

"What's your problem with me."

At this point he couldn't tell if his mind was playing tricks on him, but he could have sworn that his voice fluctuated just for a split second. Going from the usual emotionless dead tone. To that of a dark, sinister deep and gruff tone of voice. Which quite frankly scared the living hell out of riser.

Soon the feeling of fear turned to disgust, but not at Akuma no, no. At himself. Because the name of Riser Phoenix was a name he took with pride, and as such he acted in accords with his family status and of his own wishes. He was prideful and arrogant because he was at a higher class than anyone else, he had the power of the immortality which all his family had, thanks to there supposed connection to the great Phoenix. But now...

For the first time in a very very long time he was feeling a genual primal fear of this boy who stood before him, this member of the gremory household who isn't even next in line to take over there clan! But even with that just the mere sight of those eyes those cold abyss which stared into his soul! That voice belonging to the devil himself! Everything in this instant has awakened something primal in him the fight or flight response and his brain was firing off on all cylinders and it was not picking fight.

It was picking flight.

Get the hell away from this person, that was his inner and deepest thought but he would not be sullied by such things maybe it was his pride or his own hubris but now he would stand before what he now calls a demon. Pushing down all that made him scared he faces oryx, first navigator of the hive, and the creator of the taken.

"Riser doesn't like you for the simple fact that our classes differ, it's only natural for someone as great as I be only be around those who are on the same level as me. Face the facts your no leader, just a simple member and even though your parents are the strongest queen, and strongest devil your level of power is weak. I guess you inherited nothing from your parents."

Oryx he was listening to this chicken babble was silently laughing on the inside, 'tch he's a fool, if I were to actually let even a present more of my aura slip out I would easily crush you.'

Riser who watched the gremory remain silent took this as a sign that he was right a prideful smirk appeared and before his mouth was to open again to gloat he was met by something else.

Akuma flicked him directly to his forehead which sent the "great riser" flying through the air like a comman insect. Skipping across the ground Like a Stone over water he was finally stopped when his body came crashing into one of the buildings.

"Hm not strong you said well I just corrected that and your way of thinking. Also lets talk about what you said you now "only being around those who are your equals." Well if that's the case then there you go, I just introduced you to a pretty good group of them."

Riser who is standing up looked around as he felt something crawling around his body, looking down he realized that he crashed through the insect portion of one of the zoos.

Glaring as the gremory who just simply turned around and began to lean back against the wall, his hands began to lit ablaze as the signature fire of the Phoenix clan begin to burn with life.

"YOU BASTARD!!! HOW DARE YOU HUMILIATE THE GREAT-"

"Be quite"

Without warning for the Phoenix or the people around who is witnessing this, the pressure in the air suddenly increased to beyond what they could possibly imagine from a mere child. The aura of the king reborn slammed into the physical world forcing all those who were caught within it to their knees as they were forced to bow.

Oryx then began to slowly walk towards the now bowing Phoenix, his footsteps tapping against the soil was the only indication for the prideful devil that he was approaching.

*Tap, tap, tap*

The soles of his shoes connecting with the ground made a tapping noise and each time that tap came closer he felt that same fear he did earlier reappear within his soul.

*Tap, tap, tap*

Now it was practically right on top of him, only faintly being able to see the front of his shoes he could tell that the Gremory devil, was looking down on him.

"Pathetic, not even worth my time."

The aura suddenly let up as everyone was allowed back up on their feet only to watch as the corporate responsible for it simply walked away.

Ravel who now finally emerged from the store in a new outfit looked at Akuma as he simply looked back at her.

While doing so he took time to see the new outfit she was wearing and couldn't help but find it rather nice looking.

"A-akuma... W-What do you think?"

".... It's a nice looking, now if you excuse me I'm leaving. You can blame poor devil etiquette for that."

Now finally away from this annoyance, the king simply wandered off into one of the dark alleyways present not realizing that his compliment had more impact then anticipated.

Her cheeks held a pink cluster on them as she looked away from were he disappeared from.

"He actually complimented my looks... Well maybe he does have some form of kindness deep within that broody, edgy self of his."
