Chapter 28 (Born) The Night Before the Battle

No one's POV

Everyone was currently at the clubroom watching one of Sairaorg's match as he effortlessly took out his opponent and won the Rating Game.

Issei: Holy crap balls

Sora: Color me impress!

Kiba: Flawless victory. They say he is the strongest Devil in the Rating Game.

Rias: Zephradors powers is ranked almost as highly. He's done quite well stepping in as a substitute.

Sora: A substitute?

Rias: The first heir to his house died in an accident.

Suddenly a green magic circle appeared in the floor in front of everyone.

Gasper: A Magic Circle?

Rias: Astaroth. Of course.

Sora and Issei look at Rias shocked before Diodora himself appeared.

Diodora: Salutations, everyone. How lovely to see you all again.

Everyone then stood up and they all stood behind Rias, as both she and Diodora sat across each other and Issei hold Asia's hand, letting her know he was there for her and she smile at him.

Diodora: Shall we proceed to business? I'd like to offer a bishop trade, Lady Gremory.

Asia gasped and hold Issei's hand even tighter and Gasper also started to whine.

Gasper: No! Please, I don't want him to take me!

Issei: Heh, he's coming for you dude.

Rias: You want to trade for Asia, you mean.

Rias clarify making Asia gasp and Sora also started holding Asia's other hand and Asia looked at him and saw that he was smiling at her, telling her that she was gonna be alright and she smile at him.

Diodora: Hehehe, am I really that transparent? I can assure you is a fair exchange.

Doidora then summon two holograms and it appeared two women.

Diodora: Both are hard working and will serve you well-

Rias then raised her hand silencing him.

Rias: I'll stop you there. Your offer is rejected. Asia is not only a valuable member of my peerage, I also think of her as the little sister I never had.

Asia: Thank you, Rias.

Asia said quietly with a bit of tears on her eyes.

Rias: Using a roster trade to try and get the woman who turned you down your marriage proposal, show me that you're not only uncouth, but have no idea what she wants.

Sora(mind): She's completely roasting him. Can't blame her, I hate this guy. I won't lose another little sister.

Rias said while smirking at him and Sora noticed that Diodora had a devious smile on his face before returning to his normal one.

Diodora: How very disappointing. You didn't find my offer acceptable today, but I won't let that dissuade me.

Diodora then walked to Asia and hold her hand and went into one knees and both Sora and Issei looked at him completely furious.

Diodora: Our meeting and reunion were both destined. Even if all the forces in the Underworld stood in our way, I'd do anything necessary to overcome them all. I'll never give up. I love you, Asia.

Issei had enough and he was about to grabbed Diodora's shoulder.

Issei: Get your damn hand off her!

Issei then grabbed Diodora's shoulder, and he smack it off and glared at Issei.

Diodora: Base-born should know their place. I can't stand being touched by a filthy Dragon such as yourself. Revolting.

Asia then slapped Diodora's face.

Asia: I refuse to sit here and let you talk to Issei that way.

Diodora: Yes, I understand. My apologies!

Diodora then pointed his hand at Issei.

Diodora: This isn't over, Red Dragon Emperor. We'll pick up where we left off in the next Rating Game. And once I defeated him, I hope you accept my love, darling.

Suddenly, Sora kicked Diodora in the face and sent him flying across the room shocking everyone and Diodora got up and glared at Sora.

Diodora: Who do you think you are?! Do you realized who you'd just kick?!

Sora glared at him as everyone saw he was completely furious.

Sora: I DON'T FUCKING CARE WHO YOU ARE!!! YOU STAY AWAY FROM ASIA!!! IF YOU LAY ONE FINGER ON HER, I'LL MAKE YOU WISH THAT YOU WERE NEVER BORN IN THIS WORLD!!!

Diodora just grit his teeth before summoning a Magic Circle and disappearing.

(Timeskip)

Currently, Sora and Koneko are riding Kohaku, as they had a few late minute request before heading back.

Sora: That guy sure is weird.

Koneko: It doesn't seem normal for a guy that age to own that many puppets.

Sora: Sorry that we're not teleporting, I promise Kohaku that we go for a run.

Kohaku: You always keep your promise, don't you, Master?

Koneko: It's cool. I much prefer this then teleporting. Plus it's a nice night for a ride anyway.

Sora and Koneko then sent a presence.

Sora: Kohaku, stop.

Kohaku then stopped running and the two of them got off and looked around and they heard a voice.

???: Long time no see.

The two of them look and saw Kuroka.

Koneko: Hello, Kuroka.

Sora then got in front Kuroka.

Sora: Do you not understand, what the word no means? Or are you really that dumb?!

Kuroka just smiled and got on Sora's face.

Kuroka: Hey, your face looks even more dreamy since the last time I saw it.

Sora: Say what?

Kuroka then lick Sora's face and Sora look at her surprised.

Sora: Hey!

Kuroka: Mmm. Yeah, you definitely taste like a virgin. So you want to change that status with me sometime?

Sora: Huh?

Kuroka then revealed a part of her cloth revealing a part of her breast and had a seductive look.

Kuroka: You're a Dragon and able to use Sage Art better than us. I wouldn't mid having brats with that kind of strength.

Koneko then stood in front of Sora.

Koneko: There is no way I'm letting that happen. If he wants to stay a virgin, it's 50% up to him.

Sora looked at Koneko shocked and started blushing.

Sora: Why don't you ask Vali, if that's the kind of thing your looking for?

Vali: Because I turned her down.

Vali then appeared behind then through a Magic Circle.

Sora: Vali! So what do we owe the pleasure?

Sora said looking behind him and smirked.

Vali: Not on guard are you?

Sora: I don't sense any evil intention coming from any of you right now. So your not here to start trouble.

Vali: Still as sharp as ever. And you finally regain your Balance Breaker. Next time we meet, we'll have our rematch!

Sora: Your on! But I'm still mad that you are the one that unleash Loki and Zolgia on us...

Kuroka: Loki and Zolgia's attack was just them doing their thing. And that wasn't the first time I've been called as an escort.

Vali: If anything, you should be thanking us. We took out Fenrir out of the equation if you recall?

Sora: Thanks a ton...

Vali: Also, I heard you'll be participating in a Rating Game...

Sora: So...

Vali: And your opponent is the heir of the Astaroth Family. I wouldn't let my guard down around him.

Sora: And why are you telling me about this? Is like you knew something that we don't about Diodora...

Vali: A caution for fellow Dragon friend and Rival.

Vali and Kuroka then teleported away.

(Timeskip)

After Sora and Koneko got back home, he told Rias about his meeting with Vali.

Rias: That guy, coming in and out in my territory.

Sora: He didn't want to start any trouble, just a warning.

Rias: Be that as it may, I still need to sent a report. I certainly don't trust Vali completely in this. But there is something about Diodora attitued that doesn't sit well with me.

Sora: Yeah me as well. He want to take Asia away. But I won't let him!!

Rias saw that Sora gritted his teeth as he was furious and Rias hugged him tightly and Sora looked at him surprised.

Sora: Rias?

Rias: Is something wrong? I don't think I've ever seen you so furious before.

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

Sora: Do you remember when I said that I had a little sister?

Rias gasped, before nodding her head.

Sora: I'm scared. I don't want to lose another... Asia also reminded me a bit of myself. On how she was exiled from the church, and how I got exiled from the Hero Clan.

Sora started crying and Rias hugged him even tighter.

Rias: Well that means one thing. We're all gonna work together to make sure she has the happiness she deserves. Of course, I hopr the same for the rest of the household. Especially, you...

Sora: Thanks Rias...

Rias: That's why we should cherish moments like this...

Sora continue to cry on her chest as Rias continue to rubbed his head.

Sora(mind): You really do reminded me of Mio.

(Timeskip)

After everyone was asleep, Sora was currently at the rooftop just staring at the night sky as he continue to think about the dream he had.

Mio: Why didn't you save me?!

Sora:...

Mio: You let me die. You kill me!

Sora(mind): No!! It's because...

Sora hugged his knees tightly as tears started streaming down his eyes as he remember Jiraiya's word.

Jiraiya: What I truly believe, that the day will come when all people will understand one another, and live in peace. If I can't find the solution to this problem, then perhaps I'll intrust you to find it instead, Sora.

Sora:...

Sora then grabbed the book that he always read, "Tales of the Gutsy Hero" as he opened it and grabbed the two picture he had and look at it.

Sora:...

(Flashback)

Jiraiya: This technique was handed down to us by your father, Minato!

Sora: Wow...

(Flashback)

Jiraiya: Here...

Sora look at him surprised before smiling happily.

(Flashback)

Sora: Nice... This is a cool outfit!!

Jiraiya: Well now, they do say the cloths make the man.

(Flashback)

Sora: When I return back to the Village. I'll be a True Hero, you'll see. I will prove it to them, and to the world...

Sora said before falling asleep on Jiraiya's back and Jiraiya smile at him and rubbed his head.

(Flashback )

Sora: Don't worry, we'll just buy more pepper.

Sora said before Mio hugged him from behind and Sora smile at her.

Mio: Thank you...

(Flashback)

Mio: I'll forgive you, if you kiss me again...

Sora looked at her while blushing.

Sora: Uh...

Mio: Thank you, I love you so much, Big Brother...

Sora: I love you too...

(Present)

Sora:...

Sora continue to look at the pictures as multiple tears started streaming down his eyes.

Sora: Why...? Why do they have to die like that?

Suddenly, someone hugged him from behind and he saw it was Jeanne as she also shed a tear of her own and was heartbroken, seeing her childhood friend and the person she loves, mentally and soulfully shattered.

Sora: Jeanne...

Jeanne: So you still haven't gotten over their death...

Sora: All I ever wanted, was to have them keep watching over me. I wanted them... to see me become a True Hero one day. But I only show them my worst and uncool side of me. I'm still so lost...

Jeanne: Listen to me. All Jiraiya and Mio ever had was praised for you. They always boasted about you. Jiraiya keep saying that you are like his own grandchild. And how Mio look up to you as the best Big Brother in the world. It's true that Jiraiya had fate that you are the one who will inherit his will. And they truly believe that you will become a True Hero one day. They are still watching. And they always will be.

Sora then looked at her with tears on his eyes as Jeanne continue to smile at him.

Jeanne: Even in this very minute. No mater where they are, I know they wouldn't be happy to see you this upset and sad. Sora, just being the you that they praised so highly. Cheer up, for you are a the older brother of the Legendary Demon Lords Daughter and a distinguish student, of the Jiraiya the Gallant, and acknowledge by the Great Jiraiya himself.

Sora looked at Jeanne still with tears but smile at her.

Sora: Thank you, Jeanne. I love you, so much...

Jeanne: I love you too...

Sora: Jeanne, can you promise me something?

Jeanne: Anything...

Sora: If something were to happen to me, I want you to be the one to tell them everything.

Jeanne: I promise...

(Timeskip)

It was the day of the Rating Game, and everyone in Rias's peerage was getting ready to teleport to the battlefield.

Rossweisse: Have a good trip.

Irina: Just do your best...

Jeanne: And you better win!

Everyone was then teleported and they all look uo and sees some kind of castle on a large floating crater.

Sora: That's a hell of place to live.

Kiba: Is this where they expect us to fight?

Rias: How strange. The referee should've announced our arrival by now.

Gasper: But, what if there's been some kind of problem?

Sora then sensed something and he look behind and saw a Magic Circle appearing.

Sora: A Magic Circle?

Rias: That's not the crest of Astaroth. Be on your guard!

Sora then summoned his Accel Gear and Issei summoned his Boosted Gear.

Draco: Accel!

Ddraig: Boost!

Xenovia then summoned Durandal and Kiba summoned his Sword of Betrayer and Koneko turned into her Nekomata form, and both Akeno and Rias raised their Magical Energy.

Rias: If memory serve, I've seen that crest somewhere before.

Suddenly, over thousand Devils started appearing over the Magic Circle.

Rias: Those Devils are loyal to the old Satan faction of the Chaos Brigade.

Xenovia: So your saying they're terrorist?

One of the devil then aimed his axe at Rias.

Devil: To the despicable users of the false royal house of Gremory, we're here to take back what's ours!

Issei: Where the hell did these guys come from?!

Suddenly, they all heard a scream and everyone saw Asia was upside down and floating next to Diodora.

Issei: ASIA!!!

Sora: YOU BASTARD!!!

Rias: Diodora!

Diodora: Greetings. Asia Argento will be coming with me.

Issei: What are you doing to her you son of a bitch?!

Sora: You let her go this instant!!

Rias: I demand an explanation!

Diodora: These Devils of the Chaos Brigade have come to murder every last one of you. Is that sufficient enough?

Akeno: So you allied yourself to lowly criminals!

Rias: You traitorous dog! First you defile the sanctity of the Rating Game, which alone deserve death, and second you laid your filthy hands on Asia!

Diodora: Well, if you want to do something about it you have to fight through all my friends! While you busy with that, I'll be taking my time getting to know this little creature. Biblically. Hows that sound, Dragons?!

Both Sora and Issei glared at Diodora and Diodora ordered the Devils and they all started firing multiple Magic Attack and everyone jumped out of the way.

Sora: Draco!

Draco: Accel: Third Gear!!

Sora: Multi Shadow Clone!!!

Sora then summoned multiple clones and they all started fighting the Devils and Diodora looked annoyed.

Diodora: What an annoying ability!

The real Sora then rushed towards Diodora with a Rasengan on his hand.

Sora: You let her go!

Sora then was about to hit Diodora, until he used Asia as a shield which make Sora redirect his attack and Diodora disappeared along with Asia.

Issei: ASIA!!

Issei then fall to his knees and punch the dirt.

Issei: Dammit! Asia, I failed again! I'm so sorry, I let you down!

Sora: Snapped out of it! Focus on the enemy in front of us first! Then we'll give Diodora a beatdown!.

Issei then stood up and look at Sora.

Issei: Yeah, one step at a time. You're right.  Let's do this!

Everyone was getting ready to fight, as the Devils was still fighting Sora's clone, when suddenly Odin appeared.

Rias: Lord Odin, what are you doing here?

Odin: We discovered that Diodora Astaroth has been making deals behind everyone's back for awhile. Hear me! I am the Great All father of the Norse Gods! Whoever can take my head will become a warrior of Legend!

The Devils who were still fighting Sora's clone started attacking Odin, but Odin just send a shockwave that disintegrate them all.

Odin: That brat Azazel's plan was brilliant and in sheer simplicity. Lure them in and take them down in one fell swoop.

Sora: So you used us as bait!

Odin: Hurry up and get going! I'll hold the frontline while you kids made your escape. Besides, I'm aching for a good fight.

Rias: Lord Odin, we shall take you generous offer immediately! Let's double time it to the temple!

They all started heading towards the castle and they hear a voice on the comm.

Azazel: You alive?

Sora: What the hell, Azazel!!

Azazel: You can rant at me all you want later. For now, shut up. They're all over the Game field and swarming around the VIP room. The old Satan Faction is launching a full scale attack. Fortunately, we have a contingency plan.

Rias: What kind of contingency are we talking about?

Azazel: We sprung ambushes all over the area. The fools walked right into our trap. I had to leave you all in the dark, or risk having Astaroth become aware of our plan.

Gasper: But what if something had happened? One of us could've gotten hurt or killed!

Azazel: As the strategist of this battle, I will take full responsibility. If you still want to take your anger out on me when this is over, then my life is payment.

Jin: I'm sorry for keeping you all in the dark, but we've got no choice.

Sora: What the?! Dad!!

Basara: That isn't all!

Yuki: We're all here!!

Kurumi: And we've come to assist you, Big Brother!!

Maria: So we'll meet when all of this is over!

Sieg: Honestly, is everywhere you go brings trouble?!

Jeanne: Sieg, don't say such things!!

Sora who was hearing them through the comm look surprised.

Sora: You guys came!

Azazel: Stay hidden until the battle's over. Just let the rest of us deal with these terrorist scumbags!

Sora: Your in the battlefield too?

Azazel: Damn right, I am. The zone is huge, so I'm pretty far away from you kids.

Issei: But we can't run and hide! Don't you understand?! He kidnapped her, and as long as Diodora has Asia, I'm not going anywhere!

Azazel: Wait what?!

Sora: We're not going back without, Asia! We're gonna go save her! We won't let him have his way! She's our friend and my precious little sister!

Issei: And we swore to her that we'll never be apart ever again!

Rias: We will go find and rescue, Asia! We won't until we have her back and have Astaroth's head on a pike as an example to any who would harm my household!

Azazel: Excellent! Just as I've come to expect, Gremory. I'd be glad to clear out the way for you! Now go rampage your hearts out! Listen up kids, you shown that betraying bastard the power of the Black and Red Dragon Emperors! And pop him once in the mouth for me, alright?!

Issei: Hell yeah!

Sora: It's on!
