Chapter 12 (New) Behold a Holy Sword

No one's POV

After Sora had rescue Kiba from Freed, he return to Issei's house to get some shut eyes. After last night, Sora had just awoken and saw that Rias had already gotten up and he was still in thought.

(Flashback)

Kiba: All I want is revenge!

(Present)

Sora:...

(Flashback)

Kiba: It won't be long now! I'm going to destroy excalibur! That alone is my purpose!

(Present)

Sora continued to lost in thought until Draco spoke up.

Draco: Still thinking about yesterday?

Sora: Yeah, all he want is revenge...that's it's his sole purpose for living. How ironic, isn't it?

Draco: It sure is. He reminds me a bit of the old you.

Sora didn't say anything for a few seconds and spoke up.

Sora: Don't remind me...

Suddenly, Issei came in to his room.

Issei: Dude, your up?

Sora: I'm up.

Issei: Good, Rias and Asia said that they needed help with the cooking.

Sora: Sure.

As Sora got up, Issei's left hand started glowing and Ddraigg spoke up.

Ddraigg: Sorry to interrupt your little talk, but I came to give you both a warning. And I'm sure you have sensed it as well, Draco?

Draco: I sure did!

Issei: A warning? About what?

Draco: I've felt a strong magical presences, that it was making me nervous that I can't sleep.

Sora: A magical presence?

Issei: Are you saying that there was an enemy close by?

Ddraigg: What he was saying is be careful. Because you don't know when the white and silver one will make an unexpected appearance.

Issei look at his hand confused.

Issei: The white and the silver one? Sounds intense, what does it mean?

Sora: There are 4 Heavenly Sky Dragon in total, Issei. Like you who have Ddraigg, the Welsh Dragon, The Red Dragon of Domination. And me who have Draco, The Phantom Dragon, The Black Dragon of Ruin. There are 2 more Heavenly Dragon that is the opposite of ours.

Issei: 2 more?

Ddraigg: Yes, the Vanishing Dragon, is the white dragon.

Draco: And the Luminous Dragon, is the silver one. The 4 of us have been fighting for several years. Those with Sky Dragon living within them are destined to fight each other.

Issei: Wait are you saying that me and Sora have to fight someday?

Sora: Yeah, no! You have to fight the white dragon. Because he is the exact opposite of you. While I have to fight the Silver one.

Issei: Wait this isn't fair. Are you saying that I have to fight him?

Sora: That's why become stronger so you can't face him and protect those you cherish, Issei!

Issei looked at him and look down and gripped his hand tightly.

(Timeskip)

After school, Sora, Issei and Asia made it to the ORC building and they were surprised from how clean it was.

Asia: Wow, look how shiny the floor is?

Issei: Yeah, wow that shiny is amazing.

Sora saw that Issei was looking at Asia's underwear through the reflection from the floor and he look at him annoyed and smack him in the head.

Sora: Stop it!

Issei: Sorry.

Asia: What's that?

Both Sora and Issei looked and saw a room with tape and chains around it.

Sora: All I know is that it's a forbidden room. But Rias didn't told me anything else.

After that, all three of them made it to the club room and Sora saw Rias and Koneko, but Kiba was nowhere to be found.

Issei: So where is Kiba?

Koneko: Looks like somebody decided to take the entire day off.

Asia: I hope he's okay?

Issei: So do you think this have something to do with what we talked yesterday?

Sora: I'm sure of it.

Issei: Why does Kiba is so fixated on the Holy sword?

Rias: do you remember me telling you that he was a survivor of the Holy sword? Because that there were several children involve. They were all being raised to be able to use excalibur.

Both Issei and Asia looked completely shocked.

Rias: As of right now, there are 7 Holy Swords that are known by the name Excalibur. Long ago, pieces of the original Excalibur was scattered during the war, just like Sora told us the other day. The church use Alchemy to create 7 new swords.

Sora: So they use the pieces of the legendary Excalibur Starlight and change it to 7 other swords to kill devils! The Excalibur was meant to protect and give hope to people! Not being use as weapon to kill people.

Issei: So your telling me that Kiba was able to wield them?

Rias: Actually, no. He never adapted to excalibur, in fact those who were trained never could. The entire project failed.

Asia: Completely?

Rias: Yes. So those in charge of the project decided to dispose of Kiba and the other test subjects.

Issei: Dispose? Like kill?

Rias: They were already in the verge of death. However, one child managed to escape. His determination to stay alive and someday get revenge was even stronger.

Sora: And that's when you decided to make Kiba a devil.

Rias just smile at them.

Rias: Will just have to see and what happens next.

Suddenly, Sona and Tsubaki entered along with Akeno.

Akeno: Fantastic. Looks like everyone is here.

Rias: Akeno? Why are you so late?

Akeno: Well I brought some guest with me.

Sona: Thank you for having us.

Issei: The student President and Vice President?

Sora: Sona and Tsubaki? Why are you two here?

Akeno: They said they have something urgent to discuss with you.

Sona: Right. Rias, would you mind coming with me to mu house right away please? This isn't something that you won't to discuss with a lot of people.

Rias: You make it sound like a complicated situation.

Sona: It is. Very complicated.

Rias narrow her eyes and decided to went with her and told the rest to head back home.

(Timeskip)

After Rias and Akeno went with Sona and Tsubaki, the three of them decided to make their way home. And as they got closer, Sora felt something and put his hand out in front of Issei and Asia and they look confused.

Asia: Sora?

Issei: Is something wrong?

They saw Sora narrow his eyes and had a serious look and they know something is wrong and they suddenly felt a chill down their spines.

Sora: I'm sure you guys felt that! Let's proceed with cautions!

They nodded their head and all three of them went inside the house and they heard Issei's mom laughing and the three of them went to the living room and saw two girls wearing a white robe. One had a chestnut hair and violet eyes, and the other was a blue hair girl.

Miki: There you guys. Welcome home. Now what's that sour face for?

The girl with chestnut hair look at Issei and smile.

???: It's been awhile hasn't it Issei?

Issei look confused.

???: How could you forget this face? It's me.

Issei: Uh right?

Sora: She's the girl from the picture you show me the other day.

Miki: It's Irina Shidou.

Issei looked surprised.

Issei: That's her?

Miki: I know, she look so different. I mean you could mistake her for a boy if you didn't know her any better. Now look at her, she's practically gorgeous.

Issei: I alway thought she was a boy.

Sora: Dude, that's rude! Now apologize!

Irina: No it's fine. I did act like a boy back then. But we should catch up, because a lot has happen to the both of us. Also, I love reunion.

As Issei and Irina talked with each other trying to catch up, Sora saw at the blue hair woman and saw that she had a very serious look and he narrow his eyes.

(Timeskip)

After their talked, both Irina and the blue hair girl walked out of Issei's house and not long after that, Rias came in and embrace all three of them.

Rias: I'm so glad your home safe. I'm so sorry, I should pay more attention to the three of you. I was terrified of what I might find when I came back here today. I'm thankful I'm worried for nothing.

Sora just smile and kiss her forehead.

Sora: Thank you for worrying about us, but we're fine.

Sora then explained what they talked just now and Rias narrow her eyes.

Rias: Why were they talking to your mother?

Issei: No clue, maybe Irina actually wanted to catch up but they never said why they were there. But it didn't matter, all they care about when they left was that we were devils.

Rias: That's fine. I honestly don't know what they're planning. But perhaps we can ask them tomorrow.

All three of them look at Rias surprised.

Sora: Tomorrow?

Rias: That's what I've been told. They'll be visiting the club room tomorrow after school.

(Timeskip)

Sora was currently at the lake with a fishing equipment since he had gotten a summon from the same blond hair man and he was currently in thought about Kiba.

Man: What's the matter Devil boy?

Sora: oh, I'm sorry. I just got a lot on my mind right now.

Man: It's a bit unusual to see a devil looking so worried isn't it? Things in this world usually turns out the way you want them to. Stress about the future is a waste of time. Just wait it out a bit and things will change.

Sora then felt a thug and saw that his fishing pole got a bite.

Man: Looks like you got a bite.

Sora pulled his hook upward and got a fish and pull it in his basket.

Sora: You know, I want to thank you for summoning me here. This is a huge stress relief.

Man: Well, I'm glad I could be of service.

(Timeskip)

After school, everyone besides Kiba was on the ORC club and they were all standing behind Rias, as she sat in front of the two members of the church.

Xenovia: Thank you for agreeing to speak with us today. My name is Xenovia Quarta.

Irina: And I'm Irina Shidou.

Rias: It's fascinating to me why follower of God would want to meet with a Devil.

Irina: It does seem random. Here's the thing, there are 6 sword that we can account for. 3 of them are still with the church, but we happen to know that the other 3 were stolen by fallen angels.

They all looked surprised.

Issei: You sure about that?

Xenovia: This are from the one we have left. They're made from Excalibur. The one I have is called Excalibur of Destruction.

Irina then shows hers that was attached to herself like a ribbon.

Irina: And this is the one I have here. It is known as Excalibur of Mimicry.

Rias: Well, what is it that you like for us to do for you?

Xenovia: Stay completely out of it! This is between us and the Fallen Angels! Let's keep it simple shall we. We don't need the devils in this town to intervene.

Rias: That's sounds like an accusation?! Are you afraid that we'll side with the Fallen Angels?! And keeping you away from obtaining the Holy sword?!

Xenovia: We know that for Devils a Holy Sword is a detestable thing. Wouldn't it make more sense for you to support the Fallen Angels?!

Rias glared at them and her eyes started glowing red.

Xenovia: If that's true, we'll have no choice but to completely annihilate you. Even if you are the Great Devil Sister.

Rias: If you already have me figure out, let me share something with you.  There is no way I ever think of joining the Fallen Angels! I would never do anything to ruin the name of the house of Gremory or my dear brother.

Xenovia: It's enough of me just to be able to hear that. I was only relaying the thought of headquarters, I honestly didn't think the little sister of Lucifer would really be that stupid.

Rias: Good to know. Then I hope you also understand that I will not provide aid to your side either.

Xenovia: Of course, I trust that we will prevail if you promise not to intervene anything we may due in this town.

Rias: You have my word on that.

Both Xenovia and Irina then stood up.

Xenovia: We won't take up anymore of your time.

Rias: Would you like some tea before  you go?

Xenovia: No thanks. I'm not here to make friends with a devil. We'll let ourselves out

They started walking out of the door and before they went out Xenovia look back at Asia.

Xenovia: I was wondering if visiting the home of Issei Hyoudou would lead us to you. Aren't you Asia Argento?

Asia: Um...Yes...

Xenovia: It makes sense that i would run into a witch in a place like this.

Asia's eyes widened when she heard that.

Irina: Oh my goodness, it is you. Your the former saint that became a witch. I heard that you were abandon and banished because you have the power to heal Fallen Angels and Devils. And one time you actually use it. You must be pretty strong? I didn't know you actually become a devil yourself?!

Asia started looking down really nervous and Sora and Issei noticed.

Asia: Well...I'm...I guess so...

Issei: you okay?

Xenovia: Of course she's not okay! She went from being a saint into being a devil. That's about how far that one can fall.

Sora clinched his hand when he heard that and gritted his teeth and Issei glared at her.

Issei: That's enough! Take that crap and get out of here!

Koneko: Your not helping!

Xenovia: Do you still believe in our God, Asia?

Irina: Don't be silly, she's like a devil and stuff. She's over us...

Xenovia: No, that's not always mean what you think it does. There are those who's heart continue to remain loyal amongst their own betrayal. She seems like she might be one of them.

Irina: Really? Is it true Asia? Do you still believe in God? I mean I know your like a Devil, but...

Asia: Yes, I've never been able to let go. I believe in God this whole time.

Xenovia: then you should allow us to execute you this instance. Though you have sin the worst way possible, but if you sacrifice your soul to him, he will forgive you. Let yourself be convicted by my hand!

Xenovia started walking towards Asia, and Sora with an unimaginable level of speed he intercept them and was standing in front of Xenovia as she looked surprised and saw Sora was glaring at her.

Sora: That's enough! You don't have the right to execute her! No one does!

Xenovia then glared at him back.

Xenovia: As one of guards servant, I feel it was my duty to rescue her soul.

Sora: And you have no right to call her a witch!

Xenovia: Believe me that was one of the nicest description I have for someone...

Sora: And what about me then?!! I'm a Hero but turn myself into a Devil!! Willingly in fact!

They looked completely shocked when they heard that.

Irina: Your a Hero?! A Hero was supposed to keep the world save by slaying Devils?! So why would you want to turn yourself into a Devil?

Sora: You guys are the one that don't know anything! Your the one that called Asia a saint! She was the kindest and purest person I have ever met in my life! Hell, she is even more pure than you! The one who is in the wrong here is you!

Xenovia: Tell me then! Why are we in the wrong?!

Sora: After she was banished from the church, she have nowhere else to go. And she came to this town by the order of the church. She thought that the church want her back, but they just want her power and Sacred Gear! Not for who she is! Then Issei invite her to be part of the Family, because deep down in her heart, she wants people to accept her for who she is, not for her power! All she wants is a family that accepts her... and I'm proud of myself of becoming her older brother.

The rest of the ORC members looked at Sora surprised and Rias, Akeno, and Koneko smiled at him while Issei just smirk and Asia gasp as she hold her mouth and tears started streaming down her eyes as she was crying her eyes out, that Sora statement was completely true. Xenovia and Irina didn't say anything due to the reason Sora had just shown.

Sora: If you guys can't see any of that. Than your not as pure as her.

Issei: He right! We are a family to her and her friends. If you so much raise your hand against her! I will spent every last breath I have making sure you regret it!

Xenovia: Is that so?! Than are you prepare to take on the entire church? That's a pretty big talk for a former Hero and a little devil like you?

Kiba: This is perfect, I'll take all of you want!

Everyone turned around and saw Kiba leaning against the wall as he was glaring at Xenovia and Irina.

Xenovia: Who are you?

Kiba: Your superior. Nice to meet you, Church members!
