High School GT(Grand Tour)! (Filler)
It was a glorious afternoon at the Hanamura Residence where a studious Kiba flipped through the pages of Michael's old photobook given to him by Rias, Asia and Raynare. The trio kept it away from Michael at all costs ever since he took the other ones a long time ago and would come together, like a Book Club picking out their favorite parts of a romance novel.
Earlier, Kiba had asked in secret if he could see some of the picture because he was so heavily addicted to the Holy sword picture before that he never had a true glance at it. The girls faithfully believed in Kiba's words and allowed him to take a peek while looking over his shoulders to indulge in the array of Child-Michael photos.
"Ooh! Ooh! This one, yeah… right there! That was the time that Michael-sama fell off the monkey bars and threw a fit!"
"Awwww~!" The Three girls cooed at the picture before Rias flipped the page and pointed at another photo, she was definitely aware of.
"Look! Its Little Michael trying to learn how to swim with Little Irina! Look at how he's trying so hard, so cute!"
"Awwww~!" Kiba could have sworn that they were going through a usual pattern based on how their cooing was in perfect sync, but he just sat back and watched the three girls hijack the book in his hands to themselves.
"Wait…excuse me, Kiba-san." Asia politely flipped the pages and pointed at one picture that made her eyes glow bright from satisfaction, "Ah, there it is! This one of little Michael-san praying with Irina-san is my favorite!"
"Awwww~!" The girls cooed in perfect harmony while Kiba simply observed their reactions with his usual handsome guy smile that was a little sketchy.
"You all must be really invested with these pictures. I've never really noticed how attached you've become with this single photo book." Kiba said and rubbed his chin, "But that's odd…"
"Huh? What's wrong, Yuuto?" Rias asked.
"I just thought that a picture of it would be in here…somewhere…" Kiba intently flipped through the pages.
"A picture of what?" Asia and Raynare leaned in closely.
"A picture of Michael-kun playing a sport…a very particular sport that requires the use of a blunt object and small ball…"
"You mean baseball?" Raynare said.
"Yup, he told me all about it. Even said that he was on a team as their…" Kiba started to ponder on purpose and the girls were starting to catch on.
"K-Kiba…don't tell me your…"
"You wouldn't would you, Kiba-san?"
"Quick, stop him before he-!"
"Catcher! Michael-kun!" Kiba stood through the prying hands and threw the book over his head as Michael rushes out from a hallway to grab the book before the girls could have time to recover it.
"Good job, Ki-Ouch! Overhand! Why would you throw it overhand!?" Michael cried in pain as the book fell on his head.
"I thought you could catch it! You said you were a former baseball team catcher?" Kiba frowned.
"Yes, as a kid. Besides, I was too good to be a player on the field because of my finesse skills at catching the ball." Michael struck a pose thinking that he would look cool.
Everyone could tell that Michael misinterpreted the real reason he wasn't placed on the field during that time, but that thought was pushed aside when the girls saw Michael protectively hold the book away from their outstretched hands.
"Michael, return to us your photo book this instant! It's necessary for us to refresh ourselves with it after a hard day."
"Michael-sama! Give it back!"
"Please, Michael-san~!"
Distancing the girls away from him, Michael shook his head, "Never! I've been waiting for a chance to get this back and end this long suffering! Most of my most embarrassing pictures are in here! I knew you wouldn't just give it to me, so I asked Pretty Boy to help me get from you!"
"Yuuto?" Rias turned back to see the Knight give her an apologetic smile.
"Forgive me, Buchou."
"Look, I get you all really understand how amazing I was a kid, but…why settle for a picture when you can admire the great me that is Michael Hanamura, today?"
*SIGH!*
"…?"
Michael's confident smile fell when he saw the disappointed faces of all three girls as they sighed with no interest.
*CRUSH!*
Grabbing his chest as his heart shattered into a million pieces, Michael's face contorted in sheer rage, "That's it! You're never going to see these pictures again! I'm going to hide them in a place that you'll never think of!"
"Your sock drawer?" Raynare crossed her arms.
"…uh…NO! Another hiding place!" Michael's eyes widened before he became serious again.
"You're desk at school?" Asia guessed.
"W-What? Of course, not. That would be too easy!"
"Then you're thinking about that hidden box beneath one of the bathroom tiles, aren't you?" Rias groaned, she could read her Pawn like a book when it comes to things like this.
"Who cares about where I'll hide them! The only thing you should care about is never finding these pictures again!" Michael pulled out each photo and threw the book to the ground.
Looking a little suspicious, Raynare whispered into Asia's ear as she stepped forward to say something.
"M-Michael-san…we're sorry for keeping this behind your back, so may we please have your photos back. We truly do like seeing you at a young age." Asia tearfully pleaded.
"W-Well, since it's you Asia then of co-!"
*SMACK!*
"M-Michael-san?" Asia panicked when Michael slapped himself across the face.
"That was close. Asia's innocence almost made me give in! Stay strong Michael, you are a rock! No, a man! No…a Rock Man…yeah…" Michael whispered to himself.
"Chi! It didn't work." Raynare thought that by using Asia she would exploit Michael's weakness to never deny any request of hers.
"Sorry, ladies! But this guy ain't keeling over just yet! Because I'm a Rock Man! Rada! Rada!" Michael growled.
"What?" Kiba enjoyed this natural segment in the Hanamura Residence.
"What you know Rock Man sort of like Rock Monster…Schnitzel from Chowd-! You know what? I'll just show it to you later, man. It's a funny show." Michael coughed.
"Michael-sama, if you don't give it back willingly, then I'll just use force to-!"
Before Raynare could even form her light spear, Rias interrupted with an understanding smile,
"Do you really want to keep your pictures because of privacy, Michael?" Rias asked.
"Yes." Michael nodded.
"Then if you want to keep them to yourself, then we'll begrudgingly respect your decision." Rias was gracious while Michael and Kiba looked at each other in suspicion.
"Really?" Michael asked.
"Of course, you're in the photos, and it's your property. So it's only natural that we leave them with you." Rias wrapped her arms around the reluctant Raynare and Asia.
"Hold on a second, Rias-san."
"Buchou, I really want to see more of little Michael-san."
"Don't worry you two, we'll just have to do something else to kill time." Rias said and whispered something into their ears. It must have been something very uplifting since both girls were now smiling from excitement.
"How remarkable." Raynare giggled.
"That's a lovely idea, Buchou." Asia clasped her hands together and joyfully looked up to Rias.
"I'm glad that you two can come to understand Michael's feelings. Now if you'll excuse us, we will be looking for something else to do. We probably might try to admire the you that's right in front of us." The way that was said was dreadfully cryptic as the girls strode off, "Have a nice day, you two."
Left alone, Michael and Kiba couldn't believe their eyes. The girls actually gave up and allowed Michael to walk off unscathed, they would be surely happy were it not for the fact that this has never happened before.
"Am I gonna die?" Michael panicked.
"What? Michael-kun, no, they probably respected your opinion and decided to stop." Kiba reassured.
"Nuh-uh! Something wrong is going on here! I usually get the crap kicked out of me, or get tricked and humiliated!" Michael frantically looked around the room in fear.
"I get that this is new for you, but just relax. By tomorrow things will be different. You watch, none of them will remember about this whole photo fiasco and things will go back to normal."
Rubbing his chin, Michael sighed, "Well, if you say so…"

That very next day, Michael woke up after getting over his paranoia. Waking up, he felt a little rejuvenated than he did the past mornings before. His body was filled with more energy and excitement. However, he found it yet again hard to move with the resting girls on his chest and arms, but only this time they felt a lot heavier.
That's not the only thing he noticed because now everything seemed bigger now and his limbs felt short and his natural strength felt like it was reduced somehow. It hadn't hit Michael until his incessant squirming woke up the girls as they wore such passionate stares towards him as they moaned,
"Itty Witty Bitty Michael…"
"Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Michael screamed with his high-pitched voice, he had lost all traces of puberty since he was in the form of a seven-year-old child.
XXX
"And that's what happened." Michael tiredly laid his head on the table.
"So they finally turned you into a little kid, huh?" Saji sipped his morning tea as he sat across a miffed off Michael who was drinking a cup of cocoa since his taste buds weren't developed enough for the tea.
It was a long morning after that fiasco, Michael literally had to crawl out of the girls and their prolonged snuggling. From Asia to Raynare and Buchou, that was the order that they went with when trading Michael off for a hug like he was a teddy bear. Then more showed up like Akeno, Xenovia, and Koneko and they were another pedigree of trouble. Both Xenovia and Koneko didn't know how to hold back their strength when they gave him a hug and Akeno's hugs were a little lewd that resulted in a fight with Rias over who had permission to do that to him.
The only way he escaped was by pleading with Gasper to freeze them in time just long enough for Kiba to take him and escape. He's probably passed out after holding them for so long and has been taking prisoner so time was of the essence for changing him back to normal.
So, he went to the only reliable person who can help him from out of any mess, Mil-tan.
Sadly, he was away on a Magical Girl Convention in another country so he went to Saji's place.
"I should have known that they would do this to me, dude. It was only a matter of time." Michael sipped the hot cocoa before turning to Saji's mom who was cooking in the kitchen, "Excuse me, miss? May I have some marshmallows?"
"How polite. Why sure thing. It was nice of Michael-kun to send over his..." Saji's mom paused as she went to grab the marshmallows.
"Little cousin...his long distant cousin." Saji nervously corrected.
"Yes, cousin. Now here are your marshmallows, sweetie." Saji's mom handed Michael the sweets and waved, "Now if you ever need anything make sure to call me, okay?"
"Thank you!" Michael nodded then turned back to Saji, "Man, how is your mom still single? She's literally the nicest woman that I've ever met since we ever met."
"Could we not talk about that? Let's discuss how you're going to get back to normal." Saji groaned.
"Well, I called Ero-Ossan on my way here and he told me that we're going to take a field trip to find the ingredients to change me back to my original age." Michael grinned.
"That's good at least everything will be settled normally." Saji laid back against his chair in relief.
"Well..." Michael rolled his eyes.
"Oh no, what?" Saji frowned.
"The girls won't turn me back, they actually want to keep me like this." Michael said then teared up and covered his mouth, "They're horrible! They wanted to dress me up in sailor costumes and call them Onee-chan! Do you know what else I can't do anymore, I can't even do my parkour anymore because they're afraid I might kill myself! Isn't that outrageous!"
"That last part is a good thing! You can die if you're in that state and do it, remember!?" Saji pinched his temples.
"Doesn't matter! The point is that we have to find those ingredients before the others capture me and subject me to-ugh! Wearing cute girl outfits like Gasper." Kid Michael slammed his hand on the table.
"You mean with just the two of us? No, we need more help. I want to help, but if it's just us then something will go wrong. That's why...we need to get the band back together..." Saji said with a grin.
"Wait...did you say...band?" Michael grinned while getting lost in his head.
"Not that kind of band. Don't think about ever doing that." Saji banged his fist on the table.
"Oh...I'm still thinking it...and its happening one way or another...I can see it now...The Dragonites..." Michael swooned at the thought of owning a band.
"Anyways, let's just gather the people that we need and just get this sucker over with." Saji cracked his knuckles.
"Yeah!" Michael pumped his fist in the air.
"You actually hurt yourself while trying to crack your knuckles, didn't you?" Michael asked.
"H-How do you do this every day? It hurts!" Saji moaned out in pain as he gripped his hand.
Walking into the kitchen, Saji's mother was holding something in her arms.
"Hm? Is it that time already?" Saji asked.
"That's right! We decided to have Book Club at our place again. So, don't tell Michael-kun about it, okay? We don't want a repeat after what happened last time." Saji's mom winked.
"Yeah, I promise not to...oh crap..." Saji whispered as he looked at Michael's seat that was now empty.
"Hey, miss..." Kid Michael tugged at Saji's mother's skirt, "Are those an assortment of cheeses?"
"Why yes, it's a deli plate that I prepared for my friends tonight." Saji's mom bought the innocent child ploy Michael was enacting.
"Do you mind if I have some?" Michael asked, innocently.
"Why sure, of course you can! Here, take some." Saji's mother placed down the platter for the young Michael to reach as his innocent smile slowly etched itself to turn into a dark grin of mischief.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Saji didn't have time to think, he didn't even question why he flipped the table over before getting up, but by the time he could even reach out to stop the wolf hidden in sheep's clothing it was already too late.
"Thank you..." Were the final words before the storm finally hit and ravaged the entire kitchen that day...

Arriving on campus grounds during the weekend felt like entering a ghost town. Almost no one enters the school when it closes for the weekend and that's a normal thing since a day without school is paradise for students and sometimes even for the teachers.
Michael, Kiba and Saji strolled through the campus alert and ready should Rias and the other popped out to ambush them. Detecting any sound would be a cinch since the school was desolate of any students. Making their way through the empty hallways of the new school building, they met up with Azazel in his lab that he installed inside of the basement of the academy.
There they were met with their last crucial member for this very important mission.
"Shi-rou!" Michael cheered.
"Dammit, knock it off! My name is Shirou, you bastard!" Shirou growled.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were leaving for the underworld?" Kiba asked.
"I was about to leave, but then I realized that after completing my first mission, I'll probably get overrun by a new litter of jobs…and bullets." Shirou hoarsely whispered that last part to himself.
"What was that last part?" Michael asked.
"Nothing, so I just decided to stay and enjoy my long-needed break before my master forces me to go back." Shirou yawned.
"Oh…I guess it's convenient that you're even helping us because of that break, huh?" Kiba said.
"Yup, got bored and I needed something to do. That was when that Azazel guy called me in to help you two?" Shirou noticed Saji and groaned, "Three? Okay, who the hell is he?"
"Oh, he's my Best Friend, Saji Genshirou. And Saji this is Shirou Fujimura. Hey, you both have Shirou's in your names. Hehehehe!" Michael laughed like a kid.
Walking up to each other they shook hands.
"So, you're Saji? I've heard of you from that dumbass before and I've gotta say my impression of you was right, you look just as disappointing than you sound." Shirou was quick with his first impression.
"Nice to meet you, too." Saji sweatdropped, 'It's not even a minute and I can already tell how this relationship will turn out to be.'
"Alright! It looks like all of the kiddies and the one baby is here." Azazel entered the room holding a box of gadgets and dismissively slams it on a table.
"Hey, who are you calling a baby!?" Michael snarled.
"You, of course, baby! Wow, I forgot how small you used to be. Now I know why you were trying to act all high and mighty at this age. Well…you still act like that, but I guess that means you're still a kid at heart." Azazel's patted Michael's head and messed up his hair.
"That's right come a little closer." Michael muttered quietly to himself, "My height is perfect enough for nut shots, so try pushing me further, Ero-Ossan. See what happens."
Michael's ominous muttering made everyone remember that frightening possibility as they took their distance from one another.
"Anyways, let's get cracking with returning you to normal size, pipsqueak." Azazel coughed as he started pulling out gadget after gadget, "Well, usually, I wouldn't care if the others kept you like this because it seems innocent, but they forgot to take into factor one more thing."
Azazel turns around and points at the child.
"You. You're dangerous to yourself already as a normal teenager, but as a child, your body is less suited to handle the harsh dragon energy that you harness. Should you consider to use the power, you'd most likely die." Azazel shrugged.
"Wait, are you serious!?" Everyone and even Shirou was surprised by Azazel's analysis of the problem.
"Completely. That's why I decided to take a field trip with my precious students to find the ingredients."
"We don't even take your class." Both Saji and Kiba raised their hands.
"I'm still a teacher, so by extension means I still have authority over you two." Azazel quipped.
"I don't even go to school here." Shirou raised his hand.
"Don't worry, that will be taken care of later." Azazel smirked.
"Look, I don't mind killing some time doing this, but wouldn't it be easier for us to teach Mike how to turn back to normal with magic?" Shirou asked, "My master's mother uses magic to keep her youth all the time."
"That could work, but this was a forced transformation, so we have to use the methods that have been outdated for ages." Azazel coughed and pulls out a small ancient book scribbled with notes, "We first have to collect for ourselves a Liver, a Horn and a few scales."
"Wait, you made it sound too generic. What are we getting these things from?" Saji asked, "At least tell us."
"And ruin the fun of a good field trip? Nope, you all have to adapt to these trips each time we get an ingredient. Now for who gets what, we'll have Kiba handle the liver, Shirou gets the horn, and finally Saji gets the scales. Michael can't fight because he'll kill himself if he so much as tries to use his balance breaker. Are we good? Good."
Azazel walked towards the prepared magic circle after storing the gadgets and the books away.
"Sensei, aren't you going to do something?" Kiba asked.
"You mean besides being the handsome and badass sensei that make all the girls swoon? Nah…You guys can handle the hard work." Azazel shook his head, "Besides, I have an excuse."
"And that is?" Shirou raised an eyebrow.
"I've had this killer headache ever since I woke up this morning, and also there's the fact that I'm still your teacher, so let's hop on to it, kiddies and,,,baby." Azazel started directing everyone towards the magic circle.
"You don't have authority over me." Shirou crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes at Azazel.
"True, but do you know what I do have? Your master's contact information and I can just blame any damage Michael does in here on you." Azazel smirked.
"You wouldn't dare…" Shirou growled.
*BREAK!* *BREAK!*
"I didn't do it!" Michael pointed at Saji while holding a blazing shining aura sword, "And totally irrelevant, but can I have this?"
"Depends." Azazel looked back at Shirou with his knowing smile, "I bet he can do a lot worse without the sword."
"Fine, you know what, Governor-General, you're alright. I like you." Shirou nodded in respect.
"What abo-?" Saji said.
"I don't like you." Shirou didn't even hesitate to say it or wait for Saji to even speak up.
"Now let's get moving before we get,"
*BOOOM!*
A set of spiraling light spears came through the door and exploded upon contact setting some smoke inside the lab.
"Caught." Azazel sighed as he stood up to notice two silhouettes from within the smoke, "So they got you two to join their side. I'm not surprised, I foresaw this betrayal coming."
"Please don't take this personal, Azazel-sama, but we simply came for the boy."
"So, that squirt's the dog? This will be easy."
Walking from out of the smoke were Kalawarner and Mittelt who branded their light spears at the ready to take what they want.
"Kalawarner and half-pint?" Michael gasped.
"Who're you calling Half-pint after you've been reverted to that height, squirt!?" Mittelt snapped.
"Hehehe! So, you say, but from here I can tell that we're almost the same height. Normally, that makes you about the same height as a seven-years old, Half-pint! Ahahaha!" Michael childishly laughed at Mittelt.
"Can I kill him?" Mittelt's eyes were way too wide as she wore a miffed smile.
"Of course, you can't. Remember the deal that we made with Raynare. You get your reward, and I get mine…" Kalawarner licked her lips as her sights were directly on Michael, who hid behind Kiba out of fear.
"Now why don't you come over here, little Michael? Kalawarner-sensei wants to teach you a few private lessons, so you can regain all of the knowledge that you've lost from shrinking back to a child." Kalawarner wasn't trying to hide it, but her predatorial behavior along with her seductive tone of voice had no traces of any innocent intentions at all.
"It doesn't take a genius to know what you're talking about!" Michael cried.
"Enough! At this rate, I'll never be able to get my 5 free hug tickets from Raynare-neechan!" Mittelt stomped her foot in frustration.
"Now I get why she's here, but your reason is kind of sad, you know that?" Michael coughed.
"Quiet you, who asked for your opinion!" Mittelt screamed.
"He's not wrong." Azazel shrugged.
"Azazel-sama!" Mittelt gasped.
"So, do you guys know these people, too?" Shirou asked.
"Yeah, they're Sensei's bodyguards." Kiba introduced.
"And based on why they're attacking means they also." Shirou gestured to Michael.
"Yeah, one of them likes Michael and the other one is a bit iffy, she's mostly interested in Raynare." Saji explained.
"Who's Raynare again?" Shirou asked.
"That black-haired girl, she's a fallen angel who lives with Michael-kun." Kiba said.
"Oh, her…so does she also…?" Shirou asked.
"W-We'll just get you up to speed later. Don't worry about it." Kiba patted Shirou's back.
"You better hope that later is sooner because we already contacted Rias and the others about what you have planned." Kalawarner held up her cellphone, threateningly.
"So what will it be surrender easily or get hunted down like the mutts you are excluding Azazel-sama by the way." Mittelt said her ultimatum.
'Things are not looking good. Okay, Michael think of a way to escape! How can I get us out of this mess?' Michael grunted as he tried to think of a plan before something hit him, 'Wait, that Wacko priest, Freed used some balls of light to blind us last time and he had to of been supplied by the Fallen Angels!'
"Aha! Think again, ladies!" Michael rushes the lab desk and opens a drawer searching around for something before he finally finds it, "Now watch as we escape with this!"
Michael pulls out the small ball for everyone to see.
"Wait, isn't that only used for-?" Mittelt stopped once Kalawarner held a finger up in silence.
"You'll never take us alive!"
"Michael, wait! That one only affects-!"
*BANG!* *Shiiiiiiiiiiine~!*
"Devils…" Azazel facepalmed as a blaring flash of holy light affected the devils that were in the room.
"Gyaaaaaaaaaaagh!"
"My eyes!"
"Michael! What the fuck, man!"
"Why would it do this!? I thought it only blinds the enemy!" Michael whimpered as he rolled around on the floor.
"Actually, it does, but for devils. I've been working on a portable flashbang to inhibit the sight of devil enemies in case the Old Satan Faction shows up again. Don't worry, it's only a prototype, so all of you will regain your sight back in 5 minutes." Azazel started to guide them towards the magic circle.
"What makes you guys think that we'll let you escape?" The two fallen angels prepared to pursue them, but Azazel simply raised his mechanical finger and shot a beam of light at the ceiling above them causing huge debris to crush them.
"That ought to keep them busy." Azazel dusted his hands off.
"What happened? Did I miss something awesome? I still can't see!" Michael gasped.
Grabbing the flailing boy by the back of his shirt, Azazel tosses him inside of the magic circle, "Just get moving, kid. First stop, retrieving that liver! We'll be relying on you Kiba to find the perfect Bull's liver."
"A Bull's liver? Are we just going after a herd of normal bulls?" Kiba asked curiously.
"Ohoho, you'll see…you'll see…" Azazel's laugh made the mystery of the task that more terrifying.
XXX
*GAAOOOOOO!*
"Sword Birth!"
The sounds of dangerous growling and shouting along with the sounds of multiple blades skewering something resounded from within a couple of mountains in some distant country. Standing over a dead beast that had the head of a bull and the body of a large 5-meter man, Kiba wielded one of his demonic swords to deal with the beast.
The ingredient that Azazel told them they needed was the liver of a bull, a monster bull that wielded a huge axe and can rip an ordinary man in half with just his bare arms, a minotaur.
This current dead one was just the one out of many that Kiba had killed during their time there. It was an easy task for him since the larger the opponent the easier it was to find any openings to exploit especially with his speed. But even though he had killed enough Minotaur, Azazel still kept him out to find the right liver that they can use for the reversal spell.
*GAAAAAAAOOO!*
Another Minotaur had spotted Kiba and began charging towards him with its axe hefted up.
"Tch!" Kiba dashed at the beast and stopped to stab his blade in the ground.
"Sword Birth!"
*GIN!* *STAB!* *GIN!* *STAB!* *GIN!* *STAB!* *GIN!*
A garden of swords sprouted out and impaled the minotaur before it could even swing its axe.
Breathing heavily, Kiba wiped his forehead of any sweat.
"C'mon, Kiba! You can keep going! That kill was just a bit slower than the last one! Try to keep your stamina up!" Azazel shouted.
"You're doing great, Kiba!" Saji cheered.
"Keep it up, Pretty Boy!" Michael grinned.
"Hey! Don't die!" Shirou shouted.
"What kind of advice is that?" Michael asked.
"A good one now shut up." Shirou groaned.
Everyone was voicing out their cheers of encouragement towards Kiba.
"Everyone…" Kiba's lip quivered from the encouragement before sweatdropping when he looked back.
"Please pass the salt." Michael said from across the table that everyone was sitting at. Azazel was working over a couple of stoves cooking the Minotaur meat that Kiba had already killed.
"Aren't you all enjoying yourselves a bit too much while I do all of the hard work?" Kiba panted.
"I haven't eaten Minotaur's meat before." Saji poked at the beef.
"The Minotaur from around here taste amazing. Once you eat it, you will get addicted to it. I even think it is the same as Matsusaka beef. But finding the type of liver that we need is quite a challenge, so you'd best keep hunting, Kiba." Azazel said.
"I know, but..." Kiba frowned.
"Don't be like that. It's your turn, so we get to enjoy ourselves until we get the ingredients." Saji shrugged and slapped away Michael's hand from stealing his Minotaur beef, "Keep your hands to yourself, Mike."
"Geez! Fine…" Michael tried to snatch Shirou's beef instead.
"Touch it and see what happens…" Shirou growled.
"Boop!" Michael poked at the beef.
"…" Shirou was silent as he glared at Michael.
"What, you gonna hit me? I'm a kid, I can get away with anything!" Michael laughed.
*GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!*
The ground began to shake as a huge stampede of Minotaur were charging directly at them.
"Would you look at that? You better get on that Kiba." Azazel whistled.
"Azazel-sensei, wouldn't it be faster if you tried to help him a bit?" Saji asked.
"Do you know those Final Bosses in RPGs that are in the range of level one hundred? That's me and I'm on your side, and those things are like level 10 monsters. It would be completely boring if I stepped in to help." Azazel yawned.
"Hey, give it back!" Michael yelled, as Shirou took his beef from his plate.
"I might not be able to hit you, but I can get you by other means of revenge!" Shirou threw the slab of beef at the stampeding herd of minotaur, who trampled over it. Bursting in tears, Michael angrily screamed at the charging minotaur,
"My beef, I didn't get to finish you! And you, you ruined it, you sons of bitches! Nyaaaaargh!" Michael charged at the Minotaur headfirst without any thought to his own safety.
"Michael-kun!" Kiba screamed.
"Mike! What are you doing? You're still in that kid state, you can't fight all of those minotaur like th-!"
"Shush! That's right, Michael go for it show them how amazing you are!" Shirou covered Saji's mouth and shouted with a growing grin.
"YES! Witness the power of my guts! I might not be able to be the same height as my original form, but watch and behold the power of Michael Hanamura's overwhelming stre-! Oh, they're pretty big isn't i-Gyaaaaaaaaaah!"
Getting knocked away by the stampeding Minotaur, Michael fell to the side as Shirou took a picture of the whole thing with his phone.
"Was it really worth it?" Saji sweatdropped.
"Yes, yes it was..." Shirou said with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Sensei!" Kiba kept pushing Azazel into taking some action at least.
"Geez…okay, I'll teach them a lesson." Azazel raised his finger and shouted, "Hey!"
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*
A ray of light shot itself and blew away the herd of carnivorous minotaur with an over the top explosion that shook the entire mountain range. The only that was left were the smoldering bodies of the beasts who were caught up in that massive blast.
"Don't waste food." Azazel was seriously mad about the trampled over beef.
"Is that seriously the lesson that you wanted to put out there!?" Kiba sweatdropped along with Saji while Shirou ate some more beef.
"What? It's a good life lesson. Never waste food right, Michael?" Azazel asked the charred boy who crawled all the way back to everyone else.
"Ugh…I can't feel my legs!" Michael passed out from the pain from getting hit by the brunt of the explosion.
"See? Now start carving them open for their livers, Kiba."
"Hai…" Kiba sighed as he dragged himself towards the charred Minotaur, Saji forced a smile at Kiba's position hoping that he wouldn't suffer as much when it's his turn to do a task.
"Now after this we'll go get that horn we need and Shirou, you'll be able to retrieve it with a bit of my help." Azazel placed the last of the Minotaur Beef on the table.
"Why would I need your help to get a horn?" Shirou asked.
"Because as you are now, you don't meet the criteria to get it and I have such the tool to help you meet it." Azazel explained, "In fact, I even prepared a cautionary device that can help you all should you get caught by the others."
"You do? What is it?" Saji asked.
"That's a secret, and I can't show it now because I've left it in the capable hands." Azazel said.
"Great. How assuring, you have a back-up plan that you can't even tell us. Boy, do I feel safe…" Shirou rolled his eyes and looked up, "Hey, do you guys see that dragon flying over us? Its rather small don't you think?"
"A small dragon?" Michael looked up to spot said dragon to see its blue scales and its innocent smile looking down at him in familial enjoyment. His face paling, he gasped, "No! That's Rael! They know we're! No worse, they're here! They're here!" Michael cried.
"What?"
*FLASH!* *FLASH!*
Saji stood up and looked closely, "Is it holding a camera?"
"That's not good! If they realize what we're doing, then they'll try to get one step ahead of us!" Kiba stopped carving out Minotaur livers to regroup with everyone.
*Snap!*
*Shiiiiiiiiiine~!*
"Then let's move on to next ingredient, boys." Azazel summoned another magic circle.
Fleeing through the magic circle, everyone save for Michael, who quickly ran back to grab another plate of Grilled Minotaur Beef left the area as Kiba and Azazel were the last ones to enter with Kiba looking a little worried.
"Azazel-sensei, I couldn't find the right liver you asked for."
"Don't worry about it. I just took the ones that I told you to leave alone. All of them are the same and don't matter." Azazel shrugged it off.
"T-Then why did you tell me there was a specific liver that we needed to get?"
"Because its good training since you could deal with earning more stamina, and I was starting to crave Matsusaka Beef and now I'm completely satisfied. Thank you, Butcher-san." Azazel pats Kiba's back much to the young man's annoyance as the two made their way into the magic circle and teleporting to their next destination.

Near a beautiful lake in another distant country, the group made their way to a certain set of springs surrounded by a thick green forest. Standing in front of the pond were Michael, Kiba and Saji as they waited for Azazel who took Shirou to a place far away to prepare him for something. They didn't know why they had to go, but thanks to a distant scream they probably didn't want to know.
Their guards were up when they heard the approaching sounds of feet making their way towards them. Exiting out from the trees were Azazel, who spun a ray gun in his hand as a beautiful white haired girl who wore a white thin cloth followed after him.
"Hello, boys. It seems that we're ready to start after a few minor inconveniences."
Bruises and bumps littered Azazel's face as the white-haired girl behind him gave him the dirtiest of glares. However, she wasn't the only person that was staring because all the boys were looking at her speechless by how beautiful she was.
Her flawless skin.
Her soft, silky white hair.
Those beautiful curves and milky white thighs.
Not to mention those mystifying blue eyes.
And not to mention her huge gazong-!
"Son of a bitch, she's even on par with Buchou and Akeno-san when it comes to beauty." Michael said it so dramatically as he clenched his fist, "N-No, it can't be! Ngh! Her beauty i-is…OVER NINE THOU-!"

[Retribrutus: What are you doing?]
[Michael: Yeah…I knew that joke wasn't going to fly…]
[Retribrutus: My friend, Evil Kenevil couldn't even make that leap.]
XXX
"Um…Ero-Sensei…who's that?" Michael sucked in his lips.
"Our bait to lure out the Unicorn." Azazel snickered.
"I think what Michael-kun meant to say was... Who is she, exactly?" Kiba corrected, but couldn't get his answer because Saji shoved Michael back before he could say anything.
"And where's Shirou? Wasn't he with you?" Saji asked.
"He's still here don't worry about it." Azazel pointed directly at the girl behind him.
Being smart enough to take the hint, Kiba and Saji shirked back in surprise.
"Oh my Maou!"
"You mean…?"
Looking confused, Michael pushed the girl aside and screamed, "Shirou! Where are you!? Shi-rou! Man, that usually gets a response out of him. Ero-Sensei, he isn't here. You lied."
"Nope, he's here and your next to him."
"I am?" Michael looked at the girl closely then closely matched her peeved expression with Shirou's and instantly got the message through to his head.
"What you got something to say or what, dumbass?" Even her mannerism was the same as his.
Doing a long spit take and holding his sides, Michael busted a gust with laughter, "Pfft…Hahahahahaahaha! The way you look is far from what I would imagined you'd be as a girl! Hahahaha, it's so unfitting, tch…hahahaha!"
"I-Idiot! Stop talking shit!" The now revealed female Shirou hissed, but the action only made her cute as she unintentionally pouted.
"N-No! Stop talking, I can't handle anymore! I think I'll pee myself!" Michael rolled around laughing.
"Like I give a crap about your bladder! Go on do it! Embarrass yourself!" Shirou screamed.
"I guess, I better stop calling you Shi-rou now! How about Shiroko? That's a much better name for a GIRL! Hahahaha!"
"I swear to every devil in existence, once we both return to normal, I will grab you by the neck and bludgeon your head against a brick wall until every piece of your grey matter is dead!"
Remembering back to the stupid stunts and pranks Michael pulled, Saji sweatdropped and turned to Azazel, "He might have beaten you to it, and care to explain?"
Pulling out a raygun and spinning it in his hand, Azazel introduced his invention, "Say hello to the Gender-Swap Ray. With one blast, you can turn the unruliest of men to the most beautiful of women. But I still can't seem to soften their personality when they get their gender swapped."
Azazel rubbed the bruises that Shirou gave to him.
"Oh yeah, good luck trying to not get your ass kicked after tricking someone into changing gender without warning." Shirou hissed, "Fucking asshole…"
"Don't be like that, and you weren't complaining while we were walking."
"That was because you literally had me walk in front of you for more than 2 miles! You shot me in the back while I wasn't looking!"
"I don't see how that's my problem. Look, you shouldn't be so difficult because you actually turned out to be a pretty cute girl right, boys?"
Azazel turned to Kiba and Saji.
"Don't take this the wrong way, but I kind of have to agree." Kiba nodded.
"Eh?" Shirou's face turned red.
"I feel uncomfortable saying this… what the hell, you're hot, okay, so just take the compliment, please..." Saji groaned.
"Does that make you feel better now?" Azazel smirked as he saw Shirou babbling to himself in embarrassment.
"B-Bakas! Why would you think that I'd be happy about you finding me beautiful! Stupid dumbasses! Go die!"
Shirou turned around to see little Michael wearing the dirtiest of smiles.
"What?"
These words forever scared Shirou, "Shiroko, the most powerful tsundere has been born."
*CRACK!*
Shiroko cracked her knuckles as she threateningly stood over Michael, who was starting to cower in fear.
"I-I'm sorry! Please don't kill me! Think of all the great things that I'll never get accomplished if you strike me down!" Michael whimpered in fear.
*CRACK!*
"I don't take kindly to jokes especially bad ones." Shiroko's retort crushed Michael's self-esteem as he curled himself into a ball and cried his sorrows away.
"Just kill me…"
"Oi! At least try to say a comeback before giving up like that!" Saji scolded.
*RUSTLE!* *RUSTLE!*
Hearing the bushes, Azazel hushes the usual comedy skit of Michael breaking down, "Shush! Everyone get into position!"
"Hai!" Everyone quietly agreed while Shirou groaned in frustration.
Taking their hiding place behind a boulder, Kiba and Azazel had taken their spots while Saji had to drag Michael over to take his hiding spot beside them. Muttering to himself a couple of curses towards Azazel, Shirou decided to get things over with and laid her new feminine form in front of the dazzling lake.
"Are you sure a Unicorn will appear to Shirou, Azazel-sensei? He's a devil." Saji whispered.
"Don't worry that cloth has been created for the sole purpose of masking demonic energy, so he'll be fine. Plus, its sure to work since Unicorns only reveal themselves to pure virgins." Azazel held back some laughter after saying that last part.
'I'm seriously going to kill that Fallen Angel someday…' Shirou's stomach was boiling with rage as she overheard their conversation.
*RUSTLE!* *RUSTLE!* *CLOP!* *CLOP!*
"It's here…"
"Whoa…"
Peeking over the boulder, Michael saw a white skinned horse approach the lake with a gorgeous horn growing out from its head. Its majestic visage was closely approaching Shirou, taking the former man's new form for an innocent virgin girl's.
"It's beautiful…" Saji admired the beast's majestic glow, "I never that thought I'd actually get to see a unicorn before."
"That's it… Take the bait…" Azazel held a tube of medicine for the Unicorn's horn so it would heal after they take it from it.
"Ha!"
*WHIIIIE!*
Once the Unicorn was near Shirou, she placed a hand on the beast's face with a glamorous smile before looking angrily unpleasant as she mercilessly karate chopped the Unicorns neck. The guys were shocked, they didn't expect such a perfect moment to end with something violent like that.
"Sshhh! It's almost over just relax you, glorious creature…sshhh! Sshhh!" Shirou comforted the horse as she layed its head on her lap. She looked rather gentle when caressing the mythical animal's mane, but that changed when everyone was looking directly at her.
"W-What?" Shirou realized what she did and waited for their response.
Giving her a thumbs up with such optimistic smiles, Michael along with Kiba and Saji said, "Nice!"
"You guys wanna fight, or what!?" Shiroko blustered with a huge blush on her face as Azazel rushed over and retrieved the Unicorn horn and hastily applied the medicine.
"That's two down and one more to go. Now you're up, Saji don't let us down." Shirou's incessant and forced coughing also grabbed Azazel's attention as he said, "And I'll turn you back to normal. There are you happy?"
"Not until the day I get my revenge on you, you son of a-!" Shirou growled.
"Any who, Saji prepare to collect some scales for us." Azazel interrupted.
"Sure. Are we going lizard hunting? I love hunting for some rare lizard species. I don't mean to brag, but have I ever told you as a kid I had a pretty impressive butterfly collection!" Saji crossed his arms.
"Nerd!" Michael teased.
"Shut it, Mike."
"Oh, we're going lizard hunting, but the lizard we're nabbing is pretty BIG." Azazel foreshadowed the true task with an evil laugh.
"That's unsettling." Saji gulped.
"Come on, compared to the last two ingredients how hard can getting a few scales be?" Michael sang jauntily since they were close to returning him back to normal.
"I don't think you should jinx it, Michael-kun." Kiba warned.
"It's not jinxing when it's obvious that the task will be easy peasy lemon squeezy!" Michael chuckled.
XXX
*GOBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!*
Right in front of Saji was a monster which was more than 15 meters tall resounded an ear screeching roar. This red scaled monster which had both of its wings spread was a dragon!
"This is a Flame-Dragon. A dragon which represents fire. The scales growing from its back is the last ingredient we are looking for."
Azazel explained, calmly.
"Well, damn…I did jinx it, didn't I?" Michael scratched his head and nervously laughed, "Hehehe…I kind of get it now. Ero-Sensei said it was going to be a big lizard, see?"
"No shit, Sherlock!" Saji shouted, "How do you expect me to fight this thing with just this iron sword?"
Saji showed off the iron sword that Azazel came equipped with, but compared to those dragon's scales it would break like a toothpick should he swing it.
"You have to figure that out, Saji. You're smart, you'll think of something." Azazel pushed the young man towards the fire breathing monster of death.
"Just don't die too quickly! Make it entertaining, then die!" Shirou shouted.
"You really don't like him, huh?" Kiba asked.
"Meh, I'm still pissed about before, so I'm taking my pent-up aggression on him."
"That's unhealthy."
"Shut up, I'm pissed off and transforming into a girl doesn't really brighten my mood."
*GOOOOOOOOOOOOOBAN!*
Another earth shaking roar almost made Saji fall off his own two feet as he screamed,
"O-Okay, I can't do this, sensei!"
"The dragon which resides within you is far stronger than this one. Now go! Prove to me that you can unleash the powers of Prison Dragon, Vritra, Saji Genshirou!"
"What are you talking about I only have ¼ of Vritra's power! I can barely fight with my sacred gear alone! This sword can't even help either it'll just break apart like a toothpick. Hell, even this dragon will break me like a toothpick! Can't I have a little more support than that?"
Azazel's mood shifted from disappointment to an encouraging smile, "Try very hard not die okay, kid?"
Saji froze when he heard those words, but moved his feet when he started to feel heat surround him.
*GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!*
An enormous fireball came out from the dragon's mouth and went after Saji, who ran screaming like a frightened child. The Dragon never even lets up as it kept firing plumes of flame, one after the other to toast Saji into a crisp.
"Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Somebody help me!" Saji cried.
"Shouldn't we be helping him?" Kiba asked as he watched the teen run for his life.
"Don't worry, Saji's the smartest guy I know. He's got this." Michael crossed his arms.
"I don't got this! I don't got this!" Saji cried.
"He's got this…" Michael nodded, blocking out Saji's desperate cries for help.
*SWOOOOOOOOSH!* *CRASH!*
"Sheesh!" Saji ducks a swing of the dragon's tail which toppled a large rock formation with one powerful hit.
"That could have taken my head off its shoulders…Sensei! I'm going to die if this keeps up! I'm running low on stamina! Please!" Saji pleaded for help so desperately that Azazel clicked his tongue and groaned,
"Fine then. If it can't be helped then-! Come ouuuuuuuut!"
*Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine~!*
"What's going on? What's happening!? I'm so full of excitement!"
"Calm down! You're breathing way too heavily."
Michael was leaning on Shirou and wheezing big puffs of air in excitement.
With a single click of his fingers, a gigantic magic-circle appears on the ground. Something very big appears from it while emitting black pulses!
"Is that a Robot!?" Saji screamed.
Overshadowing everyone was a humanoid-type super robot that was about the same size as the dragon.
"Impressive." Fascinated with the robot's design as a closet fan of mecha anime, Kiba admired the large creation's visage.
"I don't know. I think he's trying too hard to make it look cool. I mean it basically looks like a knock-off of the Voltron mecha." Shirou's opinion was brutal and to the point.
It took Kiba a moment to remember how well versed Shirou's master was when it came to mecha robot animes and models, and could see how her tendencies rubbed off on her Queen.
"I wonder where this thing came from! Outer Space! Do aliens exist? Oh! I just have to know!" So many unanswered questions were popping up in Saji's head.
"Nah, it's just a robot that I made in a secret basement located under Kuoh Academy's pool!"
"What!?" Saji screamed.
"It was either that or beneath the Old School Building, but I already have plans for installing this very new cloning machine." Azazel rubbed his chin.
"You're doing what?" Now Kiba was worried.
"Don't go to the basement." Azazel coughed.
"Did you even run this by the Kaichou or even Rias-sama!?" Saji screamed.
"Why should I? I'm a teacher, and I can do whatever I want." Azazel immaturely stuck out his tongue to Saji, "And besides it was Sirzechs' idea to figure out a way to harness the hatred in the human world into a power source and this robot is just the thing we need to stabilize the world's ecology, Maouga!"
"That's a terrible name. What did you just come up with the word Maou and decided to add the -ga to make it more robotic?" Shirou facepalmed.
"N-No, of course not." Azazel looked away whistling.
"I can tell you're speaking bullshit, Governor." Shirou groaned.
"Look the small details don't matter. What matters is the flow and how you just go along with. Let's go, Maouga! Absorb the hatred of mankind! You are the master piece created by this world of darkness!"
Maouga raised its arm but much to Azazel's surprise the robot raised its arm and heroically posed.
"What the hell? I didn't program it to do that?"
"That's because we're one now!" Proclaimed a young Michael who stood on the head of the Maouga while wearing a red cape and red sunglasses.
"Is that Mike?" Saji gasped.
"H-How did he get up there so fast?" Kiba saw an outlining of where Michael once stood and traced his sights back up to the robot's head.
"This could go horribly wrong or completely hilarious." Shirou kicked back and enjoyed the show.
"Michael, what are you doing? Get off of the, Maouga!" Azazel yelled.
"No."
"What?"
"Ero-Sensei, this robot is now an extension of me and both of us are united as one!" Michael jabbed his thumb to his chest, "That's right! Me and the Maouga have begun to understand each other to bring out our full potential! Through the pain of experiencing our most precious loved one, Michael Jr. I was able to see deep within myself to realize my true power!"
Pointing his finger in the air, Michael shouted, "For the one, who unfairly lost his life! For the future of returning me back to normal! I am Michael Hanamura, and with this fist of ours, I swear that it will pierce the HEEEEEEEEEEAVENS!"
When Michael shouted the robot cocked its arm back.
"Finishing Move! Super Devil Ultimate Technique"
*BABUMP!*
A dark pulse of magic covered the mecha's arm as it grew with the sheer intensity.
"Giga Fist Breaker!"
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*
The Robot's arm fired out and released a devastating punch that split open the clouds in the sky as it headed toward the dragon.
"Take this my hope, my love and all of my sorrow!"
*GOOOOOOOOOO…*
The Rocket punch was easily dodged by the dragon since it was just going in that one direction.
…
…
…
"Eh?" Michael's jaw dropped.
The rocket didn't stop it just kept on going without every stopping as it disappeared into the horizon.
"Is that it? What a letdown." Shirou sighed.
"Even though it was a knock off, you still were looking forward to it working, weren't you?" Kiba poked fun at him.
"Shut up! The buildup just earned my attention was all."
"Also, I think I noticed two references from that over the top speech, Mike." Saji groaned.
"So is it coming back?" Saji turned to Azazel.
"Don't know. I never made a returning function for it. I'm sure it will appear somewhere in this country." Azazel dusted his hands off.
"Oi, oi! You can't just do that what if humans were to see it?" Shirou asked.
"Not my problem?" Azazel raised his hands like he was over with the topic.
"But it could seriously destroy a country if its left alone." Kiba said.
"Not my problem~!" Azazel sang.
…
*GAAAAAAAAAAAAO!*
Now setting its sights on the ones on the ground, the dragon tried to burn them all into a crisp.
"Quiet you!"
*PEW!* *BOOOOOOOOOOM!*
With a single finger beam, the monstrous dragon fell without even having a chance to fight the Fallen Angel Boss.
"Hmph. As if a mere wild dragon could touch me. Ridiculous." Azazel laughed to himself.
"Looks like I'm not going to be needing this anymore." Saji tossed the sword to the side.
Looking out into the horizon, Michael whispered, "Oh, Robot fist, I pray that wherever you may go that you will still smite the most horrendous evil that is known to man…ouch…!" Michael winced in pain from the praying.
(Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe)
"Sister Faith are you sure you don't want to come with us?" A few nuns spoke to a beautiful young woman with flowing blonde hair. Her beautiful body was hidden from beneath her nun's garb and habit.
"Thank you, but I still wish to collect some more water for the children. Please go on ahead."
"Okay, but make sure to be safe. May god watch over you." The older nuns prayed.
"Amen."
Left alone, the sister knelt down and sipped some water from the nearby river, unbeknownst to her there was a gentle looking handsome man licking his lips in a devilish fashion as he looked at the sister with unbridled lust.
"Precious…precious…"
*Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiistle~!*
"Eh?"
*THUUUUD!*
A humongous shadow casted over the handsome man as the Robot fist descended and squashed him like a bug.
"Oh my goodness! Kyaaaaaaaaaa~!" The nun screamed in fright and ran away.
"S-So close…" The handsome man whimpered in pain.
XXX
Now with all of their ingredients collected, the guys now had the task of completing the ritual of returning Michael back to normal. They had to use Azazel's old suite to complete the task of returning him back to normal.
"So it's all over." Shirou muttered.
"Yeah, it just felt like yesterday that we had all gotten together like the closet of friends." Kiba nodded sadly.
"I'm going to miss you guys when it's over." Saji nodded.
"You know what Saji, for once I'm going to have to agree with you." Shirou nodded, "So let's not shed any tears."
"Right." Kiba agreed.
"R-Right…" Saji shedded tears.
"Aw, now you've gone and ruined it, Saji. I take back everything that I said about you." Shirou shook his head.
"B-But you guys…I don't want to die…!" Saji blustered through his teeth as he and the other two devils were tied up and had the tips of light spears pointing at their necks.
"M-Me, neither!" Gasper wailed next to the others with the same restraints.
"Shut up!" Mittelt slapped Saji across the face.
"Darn it! That's smarts!" Saji exhaled in pain.
It all happened so fast, the girls, they knew they would go to Azazel's place the first chance they hot and ambushed them. Things were tough enough with Rias, Akeno, Raynare and Xenovia cornering them, but adding Koneko in the mix? That was just downright unfair. So now they were tied up and left to side as the girls cornered a frightened Michael.
"It's okay, Michael, why don't you come and give your Onee-chan a hug?" Rias' eyes glistened with a hint of lust and adoration, she must be really into this sort of thing and she wasn't the only one.
"Ara ara, he's so cute when he's scared. Michael-chan, Akeno-neechan will be sure to spoil you if you come down to her now. Fufufu, but I can't excuse you so try to endure me bullying you for a while, okay?"
Even the usually reserved Asia was breaking her usual character when confronted with his new form.
"I wish to hug, Michael-san, too. It will be refreshing to do it since he used to be taller than me. Now it will be like holding a small teddy bear instead."
"This could be quite a wonderful experience for me. I've heard from Kiryuu that men tend to enjoy getting their faces hugged by a woman's chest. This will surely deepen our progress for creating our child." Xenovia intently waited for her chance to whisk Michael into her arms.
"Aww~! Tiny Michael-sama why don't you come over here to me?" Raynare pushed her way in to give Michael a hug. The excited look on her face frightened Michael and it didn't help that she was drooling profusely, either.
"Since Michael-senpai's this small, then I can pet him on the head like an older sister now." Koneko dangerously approached the boy while acting a little more restless.
"Hold up! Hold up! Stop!" Michael screamed.
The women were like a prideful den of lionesses about to pounce on a cornered baby deer.
"Ero-Sensei, do something! You're the Final Boss leveled Fallen Angel Leader, aren't you?"
"Hmhmhm! Yes, that may be true, but I'm a little occupied at the moment."
"With what?"
"Trying not to get beaten up, they overpowered me…" Azazel stood with his ankles and wrists bound by tight leather ropes.
"H-How? Didn't you fight back at all?" Michael screamed.
"No. I might be many things a pervert, an unhealthy collector, a teacher, But I am no child beater."
Michael deadpanned along with all of the other males in the room, who shouted in unison,
"THAT'S BULLSHIT!"
"I can sense hostility come from all of you, but to be fair. If I were to ever lay a hand on any of the girls, then I would be in trouble. Unlike you guys, you can actually take the unnecessary abuse I throw at you, like men. Sort of like the ingredients that I made you all get. I already had my own supply of them back at my Research facility in the underworld." Azazel whistled.
All of the boys glared at Azazel with their eyes wide open with Saji being the one to voice out their combined question,
"WHY!?"
"Because I wanted to teach you that not all things will be so easy to get. You have to work for what you want, and that's the most important lesson any teacher could give you."
The guys would have fallen for the teacher's schlock if Shirou hadn't chime in,
"Don't pull that shit on us you, old fart! You were probably just lazy to even make the call for someone to get those items for you!"
"And there's also that possibility, yes!" He admitted with no guilt.
"So you mean to tell me that I got turned into a god damn woman because you were bored?"
"I killed so many minotaur for nothing…I'm pretty sure we almost wiped out their entire ecosystem around that mountain." Kiba muttered to himself.
"I almost got burned to cinders because of you!" Saji growled.
"And you could have turned me back into my original, yet more awesome state!" Michael whined while shooing the girls away from him.
"Boys…boys…haven't you realized it, yet? It's not about the destination, but the journey."
"FUCK YOU!"
The boys didn't even spare a moment's notice to insult the older man.
"Now that's just hurtful." Azazel coughed.
"Look, he's getting flustered!"
"Awwwwww~!"
The girls cooed as they were slowly grabbing parts of his clothes, thankfully his struggling helped him escape with only parts of his clothes tearing into their clawing hands.
"Kyaaaaaaah! No, get away! Back women! Back I say!" Michael climbed up on a bookcase and started throwing down books before stopping to look at one he pulled out, "Hehehehe! Hey, Saji guess what I found!"
"Oh my Maou! Is that Twilight! Hah, gay!" Saji laughed his ass off.
Michael showed off the book, "Hahahahahaha! I freaking told you that Ero-Sensei would even stoop this low to collect books like this!"
"I was only holding it for a friend." Azazel groaned.
"Yeah, rig-whoa!" Michael tossed the book and held onto the bookcase that was being shaken by the girls.
"Kya~!" Thanks to the misfire, Gasper was knocked out by the Twilight book hitting his head.
"Wow, how ironic." Kiba chuckled a little.
"Who cares about irony! We're trapped! Our only adult is a complete and utter tool!"
"Why thank you."
"Shut it, and Michael is about to be torn to shred by those girls! We have no way of resolving this issue with any happy ending for us!" Shirou shouted.
"Actually, there is." Azazel nodded.
"Really?" Saji blinked.
"Yup, I have someone willing to help on standby ever since we've started our field trip."
"T-Then how come you haven't told them to do anything yet?" Gasper asked.
"Mainly because Shirou's ranting hurt my feelings, and I really wanted to see how things played out and see how you guys can get out of this mess, but there hasn't been any progress, so…I'll step in with this."
Taking a deep breath, Azazel blew out a loud whistle.
*GACHA!* *GACHA!* *SLAAAAAM!*
And with that signal made the two doors leading into the room open along with a large object that seemed to be bouncing along the floor towards Michael, who still clinging on to the bookshelf for dear life.
"Aaaaaagh! I can't hold on! I'm going to die by being smothered to death! Aaaaa-wait, what's going on? Why is it getting dark all of a sudden? Oh my maou! Is that the-!?"
But before Michael could react, he was engulfed in the large object.
*PWOOOOOOM!*
Soon the large object hopped off Michael and leaves the boy in a pink smoke as it uselessly rolls over to Azazel's feet.
"And that my boys is our way out of this mess."
Seeing through the thick smoke, everyone could see a silhouette of hopping off of the bookcase to stand on his own two feet as he walks through the smoke to be revealed to be a 17 year old Michael back to his usual state.
"Michael-nii's back to normal!" Gasper gasped.
"You mean that could have just returned him back to normal in the first place, too?" Shirou was already sick of Azazel's games.
"Yes, and no. This here is the 10 year time bazooka, it allows whoever its used on to trade places with their future self for about 5 minutes." Azazel explained.
"So you mean Michael-kun will just go back after his time is up?" Kiba asked, "It seems like nothing about our situation has changed, he's still going to be captured, isn't he?"
"Wait a minute…" Saji watched Michael closely as the teen calmly opened and closed his hands, "Something about him doesn't seem right…I think something changed besides Mike's appearance."
"Huh?"
All they could do was watch with Azazel who wore an entertained grin at the spectacle that was about to begin. The girls of course overheard their conversation and approached Michael with the intent to detain him until he returns to normal.
"We have five minutes to wait for the small Michael to return? Then let's tie him up so that he won't run off when he reverts back to a kid."
Rias led the girls closer to Michael, but stopped in her tracks when she saw the oddest of things, Michael was giving her a half-lidded glare while tapping his feet with impatience it wasn't unusual but he just gave off a more mature atmosphere about it. It was odd since Michael has never shown such an attitude towards her before.
"M-Michael?"
And his tone of voice was more irritated than usual, "What are you doing?"
"Binding you, of course. I think it's in everyone's favor that you won't escape while you're in that form. So make it easy for us by giving up."
"No."
"Excuse me?" Not only Rias, but everyone was surprised by Michael's straightforward answer, usually he would use a trick to get out of this mess, but he was being honest and standing up to Rias.
"Why should I give myself up just because you want me to?" Michael asked.
"Because as your master, I have full authority over you, and so you must listen to my orders right now." Rias used her position to get the upperhand.
"Oh, I see…alright then, I'll give myself up to you, Gremory-sama…" The way Michael said that made Rias stop in her tracks. She was used to him calling her by name so much that hearing him use her last name made her chest hurt a little. Using her club president title was okay for her, too, but it just didn't hold that much depth than being called by her family name.
"What? You wanted to capture me, so do it, Gremory-sama." Michael's words were devoid of his usual casual tone, he was serious with a look of disdain.
"Y-You don't have to call me that, Michael. You can always call me 'Buchou' or even my name, yes, you can call me Rias if you want. I don't mind if everyone is around." Rias was desperate to gain the usual affectionate treatment her boyfriend gives her, but Michael did none of that.
"That would be disrespectful and besides you even said that you're my master, so why would I even think to call you by name." Michael tilted his head in question.
"T-That's true, but I didn't mind that. S-So go on, you can call me 'Rias' please…" Rias was already whimpering from Michael's neglection to give her what she desired most, being spoiled by her boyfriend.
Rubbing his chin, he said, "So it's okay to bend the rules to your advantage, but when I ask for something it's absolutely denied? Just like turning me into a little kid without my consent? That's just cheap and dangerous and you know it, Gremory-sama."
"B-But Michael…" Rias was tearing up in an attempt to persuade Michael to cheer her up, but he didn't lift a finger.
"You may think that its cruel, but it's the truth and you have to deal with it." Michael shrugged, "If I were to fall into your little ploy, then I might just lose some respect for you, Rias."
"I-I…" Rias was at a loss for words, he used her name, but that just made her feel even worse for the things that she allowed herself and the others to do.
"Don't let him get to you, Rias-san, we can still do this! You have to have a will of steel." Raynare stopped herself when Michael walked up to her wearing a forced smile.
"W-What is it, Michael-sama?"
"Hi, my name is Michael Hanamura. It's nice to meet you."
"M-Michael-sama?" Raynare could already sense where this was going.
"I don't really know that much about you, so I'll try to be respectful and not give you any close nicknames such as 'Ray-chan' okay, Raynare?"
"N-No, but why are you?" Raynare was trembling.
"Please try to reset our relationship. If you don't, then I'll lose all respect for you, too, and drop your nickname without hesitation."
That was all Raynare could withstand.
"Nooo~! Please don't do that! Forgive me!" Falling to her knees and gripping onto the legs of Michael's pants.
"You're just as bad as Rias, you helped orchestrated this and didn't even consider my feelings about being turned into a kid." Michael could hear Rias wince after he said that, but he wasn't done with just telling those two off,
"Next, would be the rest of you like Akeno-senpai, Xenovia and Kalawarner. You're even more guilty than the others because you barely even showed any concern for me when I was constantly screaming to be turned back. Yeah, I know I like to exaggerate, but come on! In that form? Instead thinking about what you guys wanted you should have at least thought about how fragile I was as a child." The three of them felt like they were being bombarded by a long lecture of their inaction and they were honestly starting to feel just as bad as Rias and Raynare,
"I could have died by accident for trying to find the ingredients that I wouldn't have to even look for if it weren't for that spell. Yet, all of you still went after me to suit your own personal desires without thinking of the consequences…"
Michael was on a roll and all of the guys had their jaws dropped at the spectacle. He was using his words to defeat the enemy and they were causing critical amounts of damage.
"And YOU!" Michael pointed at Mittelt, "I know you really love Raynare and all, but actually, tell me why you're even here."
"Hmph! I don't have to explain myself to you!" Mittelt was getting flustered and looked to the side.
"So you say, but didn't you say that you hate me, but yet, you always end up around me. Why is that because if you wanted, you could have impressed Raynare with something far more different than this!"
"W-Well, you see! I-I-I-! Ooooooh! What would you know, baka! I've had it! I'm out of here." Mittelt stormed out of the room once Michael backed her into a corner, she spared a few glances his way, but that was it before she took off without a single trace.
"It looks like that case won't be solved in a while." Michael groaned, but felt two hands tug at him.
"You two?" Michael was looking at the puppy dog eyes that Asia and Koneko were giving him.
"M-Michael-san?" Asia's eyes were apologetic as she clasped her hands together in an attempt for an apology.
"M-Michael-senpai, pat my head, please just like always?" Koneko sought to be left out from Michael's harsh scolding by getting praised instead, but the only thing Michael could give them was a heavy sigh.
"I have nothing to say to you both. I'm just disappointed."
*DUUUUUN!*
"Guh!"
"…!"
Those words were like a dagger through the heart for those two, having nothing said to them was even worse than being scolded. They simply retreated while looking more down than everyone else.
Standing in front of the will-broken girls, Michael crossed his arms and said, "Now if you would all please just let me return to my normal self in peace, I'd very much appreciate it. Plus, make sure to learn from this and promise me that you'll never do this again without my consent. When a promise is made you have to do everything in your power to not make the same mistake again, am I clear?"
'Interesting.' Azazel could tell the difference between an average adult lecturing others to a teacher lecturing their students.
"R-Right, excuse us for being selfish, Michael. We'll leave you to your business, and will do our best to make it up to you." Rias escorted the others out of the room with Raynare being the last one to approach Michael.
"Before I go can I at least have one more hug with little Michael-sama, first?"
"Raynare, I think we should sleep in separate beds for a while." Michael said.
"N-No~! Forgive me! I didn't mean to go that far~!" Raynare ran out the room crying leaving Michael and the guys to their business.
"And that's how it's done." Michael coughed before turning to untie the other guys, who were watching him skeptically. He looked to be Michael, he sounded like Michael, but the way he acted didn't seem to be like the ordinary Michael. Just what was going on?
"And there we go…" Michael finished untying Azazel.
"Took you long enough." Azazel wringed out his wrists.
"Took you long enough to come up with that bazooka contingency plan." Michael retorted.
"Aha, touché."
"Oh, and before I forget…here." Michael handed Azazel the 'Twilight' book.
"What? No degrading mockery?"
"Pfft! Please making fun of Twilight was so 2016. Now we make fun of Vampires & Werewolves." Michael laughed into his hand.
"Wait, it's still 2016. What are you talking about?" Shirou asked.
"Could you please explain what happened?" Kiba asked.
"Why don't you ask Saji? He's already figured it out." Azazel watched as Saji walked up to Michael, who gave him a bright and calming smile.
"You're not the Mike from our time are you?" Saji asked.
"Bingo, you were always bright, Saji." Future Michael patted Saji's head.
"It's weird having you do that when we're technically the same height." Saji chuckled and pushed Michael's hand away.
"Sorry, force of habit." Future Michael crossed his arms.
"E-Eh?" Gasper screamed, "But how is that possible? He looks like our time's Michael-nii."
"Well, you see Gasper I was…" Future Mike raised a finger, but Saji cut him off.
"That's true, but remember. The Mike we know had the body of a 7 year old with his 17 year old mind. By using the 10 year time bazooka, he was able to change not only bodies, but also minds with his future self. So this Mike right here is from 10 years in the future." Saji turned back around at Michael, "That's true, right?"
Looking away with a pouty face, Future Michael said, "Yeah, you hit nail on that one, Saj…*SIGH!* But you know, I wanted to reveal it though. My explanation would have sounded way cooler, and it would have shaken you all with its whole grandeur, and the finishing line that I wanted to say would have touched your hearts 'I AM FROM THE LAND OF TOMORROW!' yeah, but you already ruined it so, meh, lets continue…" Michael sounded interested but instantly lost focus.
"Wow, he actually gave that up rather quickly." Shirou said it in surprise.
"I know. The present Michael-kun would be too hung up about it to even let the conversation continue." Kiba rubbed his chin in surprise.
"Anyways, where the hell did all of that spunk come from?" Shirou asked Michael.
"Well, kiddies…" Michael chuckled, "Since I'm from the future, I have loads of experience dealing with everyone, but usually they kind of mellowed out with time…well, it's been a while since I checked in, but I think everyone is fine. I think..."
"What do you mean by th-?"
"Let's not be asking for any spoilers, okay? We can't learn anything from the future, or it will create a paradox." Azazel covered Gasper's mouth.
"Yeah, tell me about it...time travel is strange. One minute everything is okay, and then another, you find out that you have another version of yourself trying to destroy the timeline multiverse." Future Michael groaned and picked up the 10 year time bazooka and frowned, "I know this was important to use now, but please be careful using this in the future, it can really screw this timeline up more than it needs to."
"Look who's actually shed from their reckless teenager phase." Azazel whistled and took the bazooka.
"Meh, growing up makes you feel the weight of responsibility sometimes especially with it biting you in the ass most of the time, and it eventually got to me, too." Future Michael shrugged.
*GAAASP!*
Everyone gasped.
"You monster!"
"Who are you!?"
"Are you seriously that dumbass, Mike?"
"Michael-nii, would never say that!"
All of the guys shouted in denial after hearing the word 'responsibility' come out of Future Michael's mouth.
"See? This is what I missed from my younger days! Now, I can tell my time is almost up so before I go," Michael approached the teens and patted Kiba on the shoulder,
"Kiba."
"Y-Yes?"
"Thanks for being there for me. I don't usually have the time to say this, but I really appreciate you as one my closest best friends."
"T-Thank you, I really feel honored hearing that from you and I'll do my best to meet your expectations." Kiba was taken back but tried to act proud until Michael tapped his fist into his chest lightly.
"Shut up, I don't want you to meet any expectation just continue to be the present me's friend that's all he wants."
"A-Alright.' Kiba said lowly taking those words to heart.
"Now to you, little man." Future Michael ruffled up Gasper's hair.
"H-Hai!"
"You're going to be a strong man. Stronger than me, so keep doing your best, okay? It's okay to fall, but-?"
"Keep getting up no matter what, right?" Gasper remembered Michael's uplifting words from the Khaos Brigade attack on Kuoh Academy.
"Ah, you're learning, and at this rate you'll become a reliable guy, so make me proud, Gasper."
"I-I will!" Gasper nodded with resolute eyes.
"Now to you…" Future Michael groaned.
"I can practically feel the enthusiasm coming from you." Shirou sarcastically remarked.
"No, I'm just as happy to talk to you more than ever, Shirou. I just also want to thank you for always setting me straight, and if you wouldn't mind…"
"I know. Lay off of the present Mike and tolerate him, right?"
"No, I was going to ask if you could keep beating the shit out of me whenever he does something excessively stupid."
"Hold on, excuse me?" Shirou's eyes brightened.
"To be honest, growing up, I did a lot of things that held a lot repercussions for me in the future, so just smack him over the head if he's about to do something too stupid." Future Michael gave him the thumbs up.
"…" Shirou hugged Michael and said, "That's the best thing that I've ever heard…can we keep this Mike instead?"
"No!" Azazel denied.
"Dammit." Shirou spat.
"And now for you, Saji." Future Michael approached Saji.
"Yeah?"
"I can't really say that much for you, it won't really change anything, and I want the present me to experience everything I had to with you because that's how close I hold my time spent with you. So just remember things will get hard and downright terrible, but if you can find that little part of you that wants to keep going then use it and you'll find a way to be better than you are right now." Michael raised his fist, "You understand?"
"Heh, I'm not an idiot like you! How could I not?"
"Heh! That's true."
*Tap!*
The two fist pounded.
"Well, I think my time is up now. I'll see you guys, later…probably…I really need to get in touch with everyone again…" Michael groaned.
"See ya!"
"Have a safe trip back!"
"Bye, older Michael-nii!"
Saji, Kiba and Gasper voiced their goodbyes while Shirou cried in the back.
"N-No! I don't want the old Michael back! I want this one!" Shirou cried.
"So, I guess we'll meet when the future dictates it." Azazel smirked.
"Yep, it was nice to see you all again." Michael nodded before his face looked scared upon realizing something, "Crap! Screw spoilers, I forgot to say this! Tell my younger self to always wear a con-!"
*PWOOOOOOM!*
The older Michael vanished in pink smoke to be replaced by the present Michael, who was still in his childish form, but only this time he was covered in scratches and some burns.
"I'm alive!? I'm alive!" Michael screamed.
"NOOOOOOOO!" Shirou cried in anguish.
"Boy, what's got him all down in the dumps?" Michael asked.
"Nothing…nothing at all." Azazel hid away the 10 year time bazooka in a magical circle.
"Dear god, Mike, what happened to you?" Saji asked.
"I don't know, I was sitting in some wasteland before some rabid girl attacked me out of nowhere! She started breathing fire at me, then used a really familiar sword that almost killed me." Michael panted in fear, "So did I miss anything?"
"No, you're future self pretty much saved us." Kiba explained.
"Really? My future self was here? What did he look like? Was he even greater than I am? Did he have a mechanical arm? Did he say that line I always wanted to say, "IT IS I FROM THE WORLD OF TOMMORROW"? Please tell me he did."
"We can't disclose that much since it would make a time paradox, but he did say that line though." Azazel nodded.
"Sweet! I can check that off my bucket list." Michael chuckled.
"Wouldn't it be normal for your future self to do that?" Gasper asked.
"Drat…" Michael facepalmed.
"Okay, can we just end this already? I'm depressed enough, so let's move this along." Shirou groaned.
"What's up Shi-rou, you menstruating even after turning back to a guy?" Michael asked.
Shirou was about to say something, but inhaled sharply, "Don't Shirou… Remember, he'll mellow into a likable guy with time."
"We still have the ingredients and the magic circle is still intact, so let's finish this."
Grinding up all of the ingredients together, Azazel poured the liquid into a chalice and gave it to Michael to drink. And despite its bitter taste it actually worked as the magic circle beneath him started to shine as Kiba, Saji and Shirou poured their demonic energy into the spell to activate the spell's reversal, and with a single flash Michael was able to return to his original 17 year old body.
"Booyah! I'm back!" Michael patted his chest before pull the elasticity of his pants to see between his legs, "Hah! My family jewels are back in place."
"Please don't look at yourself while you're in my presence." Azazel pinched his temples.
"Sorry, and just thanks guys! Now that I'm back to normal, I can finally do something that was always impossible." Michael puffed out his chest heroically, "Ero-Sensei, the Gender-swap ray, please."
"Sure." Azazel didn't even hesitate to give it to Michael.
"Wait, what the hell do you think you're doing?" Shirou raised his arms defensively.
"Don't worry, it's not for you! It's for a client that has been wanting to break the barrier of man for a long time to become a true magical girl. Now Mil-tan, I'm going to make your dream come true. Wish me luck! Michael away~!" Michael ran out the door, "Accomplished contract, here I come!"
"Should we stop him?" Kiba asked.
"Nah, he's actually doing his devil job right for a change. Everything will be fine." Saji shrugged.
"Well, it's been real all of you, but I have to get packing or I might really get in trouble with my master." Shirou waved and left, "At least things get better with that asshole in 10 years. Hopefully, that humble attitude will come around 4 years early, hopefully."
"I guess that we should all be returning home now, huh?" Kiba asked.
"Yup." Saji nodded.
"I hope everyone isn't too sad." Gasper voiced out his worry.
"You're all still here?" Drinking some liquor in his bathrobe, Azazel was sitting on his couch, comfortably.
"You got comfortable quick." Kiba blinked in surprise.
"Have to before something else happens that will take more of my time. Might even happen tomorrow even." Azazel gestured to the already gone Michael.
"Oh, please. How can Mike get himself into even more trouble than today?" Saji laughed.
XXX
"I need to learn to shut my mouth…"
Saji facepalmed because on the front step of his house was a female girl with dark skin, black spiky yet long hair that was shaped like a trident, brown eyes and a curvaceous figure with a large bust. She was wearing a blue Magical girl outfit from Magical Girl Milky Spiral Seven.
And that girl was of course, Michael, who was holding the remains of a broken Gender-swap raygun.
"I know what you're going to say, but hear me out. I fulfilled my contract and turned Mil-tan into a girl, she's actually quite a beautiful lady, but she's still tall and a little muscular. Anyways, she's happy and since I was in the mood, I thought that I could join her and fulfill her second request to cosplay as another Magical girl, but we played a little too much and now the raygun is smashed." Michael panicked.
"Dude, why are you still wearing the costume?" Saji was irked to see his best friend dressed like that.
"My old clothes wouldn't fit! They kept falling off my waist, and I needed to ask you for your help!" Michael cried, "Ero-Sensei said that he needs some items to fix this, so let's go!"
Michael ran off while not considering the fact that her skirt was bouncing around and revealing more to the public eye around her.
"*GROANS!* Can't a day go by without something strange happening?" Saji slammed the door and chased after his idiot best friend for another weird adventure.
