Chapter 42 (Hero) Preparation for the School Festival!
No one's POV
Currently, Sora and the other ORC are in the Underworld doing live performance of the Phantom Hero and the Boob Dragon. The reason why they were doing is this is due to Issei's popularity on the rise, that made Maria create a song related to his pervertedness, which included him grabbing boobs and other perverted act, much to Sora's displeasure.
Announcer: Everyone! The Phantom Dragon Hero and The Boob Dragon is in a pinch! Send your strength to them! All together now!
The children started cheering calling out 'Hero' and 'Boob' as Sora and Issei entered the stage in their Balance Breaker.
Issei: We can't just fall here!
Sora: We can feel our power rising thanks to everyone's help!
Even though Sora yelled loudly in the stage to increased their cheers, there is a tint of annoyance in his voice.
Sora(mind): -_- I want to die...
Suddenly they heard laughing and they turned around to see Kiba in costume, as well as Rias tied up next to him.
Kiba: The result will be the same no matter how many times we fight!
Sora and Issei: What?!
Kiba: You can't beat me, Darkness Knight Fang!
Rias: S-Save me. My beloved, Hero and B-Boob Dragon...
Rias sigh slowly and quietly as possible which Sora took notice.
Sora(mind): -_- Don't worry Rias. I hate this as well...
Sora and Issei started pretend fighting Kiba with special effect, lights and smokes coming from the stage, and in the back, everyone else was watching the show.
Xenovia: This really pumps me up!
Gasper: Such an impressive performance!
Akeno: Special effort explosions and wire work action!
Rosswiesse: Looks like they throughly researches the Hero shows in the human world.
Jeanne: Yeah, but I don't think Sora is going to like for what happens next...
Suddenly, the stage got dark and Sora automatically knew what was next.
Sora(mind): -_- Oh, brother.... What did I do to deserve this...?
Issei: Summon, Boobs!
Rias then rises up from the stage.
Issei: Whoa, Princess!
Sora and Issei walked up to Rias, as Sora just hung his head down with all the humiliation in his life for what he was about to do next.
Issei: Princess! Excuse us! Here we go! Boys and girls, together now! Poke, aaaa!
Kids: Poke, aaaa!
Sora(mind): -_- Damn you Issei! I won't forget this!
Issei: Come on, Phantom Hero Dragon! You need to do it too!
Sora: Poke, aaa...
The special effects then changed to act like they were powering up Sora and Issei, as they jumped up, defeating Kiba.
Sora(mind): Issei, you better prepare yourself!
Announcer: They did it! The Phantom Hero Dragon and Boob Dragon won by borrowing everyone's strength!
The kids then started to cheer for Sora and Issei, as he just sighed.
Kids: Hero Dragon! Boob Dragon!
Sora, Issei and Rias started to wave at the crowd, when the announcer spoke up.
Announcer: Hold on a second, Who's that? There! Over there! Could it be?!
Everyone looked over and saw it was Koneko in her costume.
Announcer: It's Little Hellcat!
Koneko: Meow!
The older men in the crowd started cheering loudly for Koneko, which surprises everyone in the area due to their cheers being louder than the children.
(Timeskip)
After the show, Sora and Issei were in the locker room, getting cleaned up and after awhile, Issei had left with Irina due to some of the other performance aren't able to come. Sora just sigh as he brought out his books to continue his writing, when something slip out. It was the picture of him and Jiraiya and Mio.
A/N: Sora is between Basara and Mio with Mio wrapping her arm around Sora instead.
Sora:...
Sora sigh at the picture.
Sora: I wish you two are here.
Sora then thought back at what Buddha said to him about his Mother after the fight at Nijo Castle.
Sora: I'll see you at the top. And thank you, for finishing my work. Huh... Does that mean, you'll finally come home, Mom...?
(Timeskip)
After the whole play is over, Sora was getting ready to pack his stuff when he suddenly heard the sound of someone crying.
Sora: Eh...?
Sora followed the sound of crying and opened the door to the entrance, seeing one of the producers in front of a woman and a little boy, who was crying. He saw that the child had a hat of his Balance Breaker helmet, as well as an action figure.
Boy: No, no, no, no! I want to meet the Phantom Hero Dragon!
Producer: I'm sorry. The handshake and autograph event tickets haves already sold out.
Mother: I see. They've already passed them out. It's too bad, but we'll have to go home.
Boy: No!
Sora activated his Balance Breaker, removing his helmet and walked out to them.
Sora: What's wrong?
The three of them looked over at Sora, and the boy quickly looked at him with eyes wide opened. He was so excited to be able to meet Sora.
Boy: It's The Phantom Hero! The real thing!
Producer: Mr Yatagami, um...
Sora: What's your name?
Boy: Lierenkus!
Sora smile at him and patted his head.
Sora: That's a great name. Thank you for coming to see me.
Sora knelt down to Lierenkus and took his hat off and autographed it.
Sora: Boys shouldn't cry. They have to be strong enough to protect the ones they love.
Lierenkus: Yeah!
Sora: Here.
Sora then put his hat back on him.
Lierenkus: Wow! Thanks, Hero Dragon!
Lierenkus and his mom then started to leave.
Lierenkus: Bye Bye, Hero Dragon!
Lierenkus then waves at Sora, as he waved back at him. Sora then returned to his locker room, and heard Rias behind him.
Rias: As expected of my Sora.
Sora: Rias? So you were watching?
Rias: You looked very cool.
Sora: Thanks. I just wanted to protect his dreams.
Rias smile as she hugged him from behind and kiss his cheeks when suddenly someone called out to them.
Milicas: Brother Sora! Your event was so much fun!
The two of them looked back only to see Milicas and Venelana.
Rias: Mother. Milicas too.
Sora: Its nice to see you again.
Venelana: It was a wonderful show.
Sora: Thank you. Though I kinda wish they don't do the poking the boobs again.
Venelana: Fu-Fu, but that what's made the show into a big hit. The Hero show using Sora as a model will be an important business that will continue to finance the Gremory Family. It has become a priceless treasure to the children of the Underworld.
Venelana walk towards them as she grabbed Sora's arm shaking him giving her gratitude.
Venelana: I hope you continue to work hard for the Underworld, our family, for everyone you hold dear, and our daughter.
Sora: Of course, I'll do my best, Mother Venelana.
Venelana: Fufu, being called Mother by you is so enjoyable. Rias has truly find herself a wonderful person.
That made Sora blush.
Sora: Um... Thank you. Since I never had a Mother before. All I have closes to a parent and a grandparent was Jin and the Pervy Sage. So for you to already includes me as your own son means the world to me.
Venelana: Well the pleasure is all mine. I hope you continue to give Rias happiness now and forever.
Sora: Yeah!
(Timeskip)
Currently, Sora and Rias are outside Ravel's classroom, since they were both worried and wanted to check on her during her first day.
Rias: I was worried about how Ravel was doing after transferring here.
Sora: Well, wasn't expecting this. I was expecting more like...
Ravel: Ask whatever you like! I shall answer you!
Sora: -_- Or something.
Due to all the attention, Ravel couldn't handle the pressure any longer and left the classroom to meet up with Sora and Rias.
Sora: Is something wrong...?
Ravel: Well, this is the first time I've ever transferred schools. I am a Devil after all. I do not know how to interact with humans.
Sora: Not surprising.
Rias: It would be good if she had classmate she already knew.
Sora: -_- Well, there is one person, but...
Sora then called Koneko, as they meet by the classroom.
Koneko: Did you call for me?
Sora: We have a favor. Will you be Ravel's friend and give her some advice about life here?
Koneko: I don't mind, but...
Koneko then looked at Ravel.
Koneko: Pathetic fried chicken girl.
Ravel the looked at Koneko with a annoyed look.
Ravel: Did you just say something?
Koneko: Pathetic.
Ravel: Y-You! How dare you speak in that manner to the daughter of the Phoenix family?!
Koneko: You came to the human world and immediately caused Rias and Sora trouble. That's why I called you pathetic.
Ravel: You little bratty Nekomata!
Koneko: Fried Chicken.
That scene of those two fighting made Gasper who was there as well cried.
Gapser: So scary.
Sora: Come on. Why don't the two of you get along? You're in the same class.
Koneko: Who's side are you on, Sora?
Sora: Huh? Side?
Koneko and Ravel then got into Sora's face pressuring him to choose which make Sora sigh.
Sora: Look, I'm not gonna pick either side if the two of you aren't getting along. I love girls who get along with one another.
That made Koneko and Ravel stopped their bickering and looked at Sora surprised and started blushing. The two of them looked each other annoyed before slowly shock hands with a grumpy mood.
Sora: -_- You two are just gonna bicker when I'm not around, aren't you?
Koneko and Ravel: O-Of course not...
Koneko and Ravel both averted their gaze as they answered.
Sora: -_-
(Timeskip)
After school, everyone headed towards the club room and started to prepare for the School festival. Currently Sora is outside with Kiba, cutting wood for props, while Sora couldn't stop thinking about the upcoming Rating Game with Sairaorg.
Sora:....
Kiba: Sora, are you thinking about the Rating Game with Sairaorg?
Sora: Yeah, I keep trying to think a way to fight him.
Kiba: We both have basic information about one another, but I think he still doesn't know about your new form and Xenovia's ex-durandal. I think the game weight on when each of those are used.
Sora: That form took a lot out of me. And along with Promised Victory, I barely could maintain that form less than 10 minute. So it would be best to keep it hidden until just the right moment.
Kiba: I'll train with you. I'm also working on the framework of a new attack. And I heard Issei was too.
Sora: You and Issei?
Kiba: It's still a secret, though.
Rias then walked up to the two of them.
Rias: Sora, do you have a moment?
Sora: Rias?
Rias: About the thing that was worrying me. Sairaorg's butler said he had a personal favor to ask you and me.
Sora: Sairaorg?
(Timeskip)
The two of them then went into the Underworld once again, but this time it was towards the Sitri Domain. Where there was a natural beauty of green and wilderness. It was also one of the few domains with exceptional medical facilities. The place they were going are one of the best medical place in the Underworld. After they arrived at the hospital, the two of them were greeted by the butler where he led them towards Sairaorg's mother.
Butler: This is Lady Misla Bael, Lord Sairaorg's mother. I was the one who called the two of you here today. Lord Sairaorg knows nothing of what I've done. I beg of you... Lady Rias, Black Dragon Emperor. Please lend us your strength to awaken Lady Misla.
Sora: Awaken her?
Rias: Let me explain. When Sairaorg was born to the Bael family, everyone was happy that an heir was finally born. However, his birth was soon a great disappointment to the family.
Sora: He wasn't born with demonic power.
Rias: The biggest reason was that he didn't inherit the Power of Destruction. Sairaorg's father blamed his wife, saying a "faulty son" was born. And she lived the rest of her life in the shadows.
Sora: I see...
Rias: My mother tried to take the two of them in, but Lord Bael refused. For the proud Bale family, they were an embarrassment. They didn't want anyone to find out about them.
Butler: Lady Misla raised Lord Sairaorg in the outland of the Bael domain. She always told her little crybaby Sairaorg this...
Rias: "You have a strong body. Strengthen it and make up for what you do not have. Even if you don't have demonic power, you are a child of Bael. You will definitely win as long as you don't give up". He always said they were treasured words his Mother always told him.
Sora:...
Butler: However, she was always apologizing in her heart. She shed countless tears sitting at Lord Sairaorg's bedside. Lady Misla's feelings must've reached him. Lord Sairaorg grew strong and resilient. However, when the light of hope finally shone on Lord Sairaorg, Lady Misla suddenly fell to a demonic sickness.
Sora: What kind of disease...?
Rias: It's a rare disease that infects devils. The victim falls into a deep sleep and cannot be woken. Eventually they grow week and perish. Even now, they are barely managing to keep her alive.
Sora: And you want me to heal her...? Using Avalon...
Butler: Yes. The ability that grant omni-potent healing. Please help Lady Misla! I beg of you!
Rias: I ask for your help as well, Sora. Your power has created so many miracles. Maybe, that power that your Mother gave you, can help Aunt Misla regain consciousness.
Sora didn't even think about it and quickly put his hand on Misla's face and used Avalon. Misla started glowing gold as both Rias and the Butler were loss for words by the holy power that Sora was emitting. After the light fades away, Misla was still unconscious much to their disappointment that she didn't wake up, but what they didn't noticed that Misla's heart started beating normal again. And her face had regained her colored.
Sora(mind): It will take some time, but she will wake.
After that, both Rias and Sora were sitting outside at a near bench.
Sora: I'm sorry, Rias. I couldn't be of any help.
Rias: Don't be so down, Sora. You did what you could.
Sora: But...
Rias could understand why Sora was feeling so down. Sora grew up without knowing the love of a mother. And he lost two family members. So it only be natural that he didn't anyone to experience the same feeling he did.
Rias: I never felt so calm in my life when you activated your Holy energy. So I'm sure she felt it as well.
Sora:...
Sairaorg: You two...
Everyone then looked over and saw Sairaorg walking up to them.
Sora: Sairaorg!
Sairaorg: I heard. I truly thank you.
Sora: Please stop. I wasn't able to help at all.
Rias: I have to apologize to you. I told Sora about you. Even though it was right before our Rating Game.
Sairaorg: No matter. Isn't it a pretty common story in high-ranking devil families? Of course, unless you plan to ease up on our game because of it?
Sora: Wouldn't dream of it.
Sairaorg: That's right. Don't think of unnecessary things. I only wish to have a serious fight with the Gremory family.
Sora nodded his head in understatement as he watched Sairaorg clench his fist.
Sairaorg: This is all I have. For someone who has nothing, the only path is that of victory. If I lose even once, I will lose everything I've gained up until now. That is why I will definitely win against you with these fist!
Seeing Sairaorg's determination made Sora smile.
Sora: You and I are the same.
Both Sairaorg and Rias looked at Sora.
Sora: I too once had nothing. I was alone. All I had was the Pervy Sage. But I worked hard and I finally reached to this point. And I have my own dream. And in order to achieve that dream, first I need to defeat you.
Sora smile fearlessly at Sairaorg.
Sora: I will fight you will all my strength and fulfill my dream!
Sairaorg smile at him as well.
Sairaorg: Yes. That's good. That's enough. It seems you've gained strength since I've seen you last.
Sora:...
Sairaorg: Rias, Sora Pendragon. I will go all out for my ambition in the game as well!
Rias: Yes, we will not lose.
Sora and Sairaorg smile fearlessly before fist bumping as Sora and Rias made their leave for the surface in preparation for the school festival.
