Chapter 10: Rescue The Little Sister - Part 1 of 2

Koneko woke up with a gasp. The environment around her was unfamiliar, and her hands and arms are tied behind her back. She started to panic, finding it hard to breathe, realizing that her mouth is covered by a large piece of tape to prevent her from screaming.

The last thing she remembers is talking to her older sister.

Flashback

On her way home from school, Koneko stopped to buy some doughnuts. Leaving with a bag of many uniquely different flavored treats, she was about to head home when...

"Shiro-nya!" Kuroka suddenly hugged her little sister from behind, scaring the younger nekoshou.

"W-What the? Big sis, get off me!" Koneko yelled angrily, squirming as she escaped her sister's grip.

"Oh, come on. Don't be like that. All big sis wants is a hug, nya."

Koneko sighed. "Leave me alone. I hate you. You know that, so why do you keep trying to talk to me?"

Before Kuroka could answer, a group of exorcists appeared directly behind Koneko and karate chopped a spot on the back of her neck, knocking her out. Seeing this, Kuroka was enraged. She was going to attack, when she heard clapping.

"Bravo! Bravo!" A man stepped out of the shadows. He is dressed in all white church robes with a golden cross drawn on his torso. He appeared to be an ugly middle-aged man. "Now take her away."

"Wait! That's my little sister! Why are you kidnapping her?!" Kuroka shouted.

The man turned to her with a sadistic smirk. "It's not her we need since she will be used as nothing more than bait, or more specifically a hostage. It's Rias Gremory's knight, Kiba Yuuto. Oh, before I leave, Kokabiel sends his regards."

They all teleported away, leaving a worried Kuroka.

Kuroka had only one choice. a last resort: Find Rias Gremory and beg for her help.

Running to her house, the same house Koneko lives in, she pounded on the door and rang the bell a few times until someone answered.

It was Xenovia. "Can I help you with something?"

Kuroka panted for air. "Y-Yes! I... I need to... speak with Rias Gremory! She... My little sister, Koneko, has been k-kidnapped!"

Xenovia's eyes widened before she widened the door and stepped aside. "Come in. I will get Rias."

Kuroka took a seat on a couch. A few minutes later, a concerned Rias appeared. She tilted her head at Kuroka, placing her hands on her hips. "You said you're Koneko's older sister and that she has been kidnapped? How do you know this?"

"I saw it happen."

Rias narrowed her eyes. "I will contact my older brother. In a life and death situation, he's one of the few people who can help."

Moments later, a summoning circle appeared, and out of it stepped Sirzechs and Grayfia. Kiba also appeared at that moment, walking in through the front door with groceries in his hands. Seeing the meeting, Kiba leaned against the door as he listened to the conversation.

"What's the matter, Rias?" Sirzechs said before his eyes landed on Kuroka. His eyes widened. "You! Why are you here?!"

"Big brother, calm down!"

"Rias, do you have any idea who she is?! She's a very dangerous SS-Class criminal!"

Kuroka sighed. "This isn't about me, this is about my little sister. She has been kidnapped. Please... Look, I know that since you're one of the Satans, you don't trust me, but I'm begging you to please help me bring my Shirone back... Nya?"

Kuroka was channeling a peaceful yet troubled aura, which Sirzechs recognized. Sighing, he sat down in front of the older nekomata with a serious look as Grayfia stood behind him, ready to fight, glaring at the nekomata.

"Tell me everything."

The nekomata nodded. "I believe someone from the Khaos Brigade may have taken my sister. He was an old man who said that Kokabiel, 'sends his regards.'"

As she described his appearance as well as what the man said his goals are, Kiba's eyes widened as he clenched his fist. Stepping forward, he spoke.

"I know who that man is. It's Valper Galilei."

Rias was shocked. "The same man who was behind the Holy Sword project?!"

"It appears so," Said Sirzechs. Kiba was about to leave when Sirzechs spoke, "Kiba, where do you think you're going?"

He turned to the Satan with a glare. "I'm going to kill that bastard."

Sirzechs stood up and flared his aura in a threatening manner, making the blond flinch. "And you think you're powerful enough to handle whatever is waiting for you? What about Koneko? If you go there and attack, you could risk causing unnecessary collateral damage by getting her killed. Whoever is there is far too powerful for any Devil, even Kuroka. I'm ordering you to stay here."

The Knight reluctantly nodded and sat down next to Rias, gritting his teeth in frustration as Rias tried to comfort him.

Sirzechs turned to Kuroka. "I know only one person who can possibly bring your little sister back: the Sekiryuutei, Issei Hyoudou. Over the last four months, he has grown so immensely powerful that even I cannot sense him anymore since he is able to control his magical signature and lessen it. Only you, a nekomata, could sniff him out, but be warned, the last time time I checked, he does seem to hold a grudge against Rias and her peerage for a fight they had; he hates your little sister. It might take some persuading from you."

Kuroka nodded. "Humu. As a nekomata, I am able to sense five extremely powerful Draconic auras, all of which are very unique to the individuals: Bahamut, Ophis, Great Red, and the Red Dragon Emperor. The White Dragon Emperor too, but he isn't on the same level as the first four. I shall leave now and find him."

Flashback End

"So, that's why I am here, nya." Kuroka explained, omitting the details of her meeting with Sirzechs, only including the gist of it.

Issei sighed. "Look, I really don't give a fuck about Koneko, so why should I help you?"

Kuroka smirked as she leaned forward, giving the now flustered Sekiryuutei a great view of her cleavage. "Well, if you bring my little sister back and kill those who took her from me, let's just say that I have a... reward for you, nya~" She licked her lips seductively.

Issei's heart hammered in his chest as he gulped. "W-What kind of reward?"

"I'll join your peerage if you have any spare pieces left, nya."

"WHAT?! ARE YOU SURE?! I mean, I have a Bishop and a Knight left, but are you sure?!" Issei shouted.

"Fufu. I am, nya. If you win, you can do whatever you want to me."

Issei grinned. 'I am so getting laid!' His smile faltered when he thought of Raynare, and he cleared his throat.

"Listen, Kuroka. I will do it, but there are other girls in my harem already, one of which is my Queen, who I want to give my virginity to first, meaning you would have to wait to have sex with me. If you are to join my peerage, that means you would become a member of my harem since I only allow the girls I love in it. Well, most of them anyway aside from my Sensei, but I am open to being in a relationship with her too since she is only 20 years old. Subsequently, we would need to get to know each other better before we decide to do it. Are you still sure about this?"

The nekomata nodded. "Yes, nya. I am even more sure now that you said that you want me as one of your lovers, nya."

"Why though? We just met."

"You're a kind Sekiryuutei who would be willing to go out of his way to save someone he hates, someone I care about, just for my sake. That's more than enough reason for me nya, plus there are very few Devils who have actually been kind to me, nya."

She pulled out a book and handed it to him.

"What's this?" Issei said.

"Something I want you to give to Sirzechs. He seems to trust you a lot." Earning a confused look from Issei, she elaborated, "It's my diary. A long time ago, the Devils accused me of a crime I did not commit, of murdering my master in cold blood, which I did. I have my reasons, and it was a justified act, but they labeled me a stray and a fugitive. They didn't even give me a fair trial or any trial, really. Nya." She meowed sadly, her cat-ears drooping before she looked back up at him with a happy grin. "You can read it too if you want to get to know me better, but please focus on rescuing my sister first. After that, give it to Sirzechs and tell him to use it to clear my name, nya."

Issei, who will likely forever harbor nothing but hatred for Rias Gremory and her servants, narrowed his eyes in slight distrust. "Stay here, I need to do something. Be back in a flash (21)!"

The Sekiryuutei used Portal Rip. He skimmed through the diary to get to know what kind of person Kuroka is, and he reappeared in the real world with a somber look.

"I just read your diary. I'm sorry to hear what happened to you."

Kuroka shook her head. "Don't be. By the way, how did you do that so fast, nya?"

Issei smirked. "I am a Dragon, Kuroka. We're the most powerful creatures to ever exist aside from a few gods, but my potential is limitless. Someday, I will surpass everyone in the universe. Now, since you're a nekomata, can you sense the current location of your sister?"

"Yes, but it is too heavily guarded."

"Where is it?"

"The Vatican. There are thousands of guards there as well as hundreds of Ultimate Class beings."

Issei smirked. "In that case, I will need the help of a very weird bunch."

. . . . . . .

Issei's House

All the girls, including Arisu, are hanging out in Murayama's room, most of them sitting on her king-size bed.

"You will never beat my best time! Give up!" Arisu taunted smugly as she watched Murayama play a racing game on her computer.

They're playing Dirt Rally on Steam. From what Issei said, it is a very realistic yet very difficult game. He shared the game with Murayama, allowing her to play it for free.

A/N: I've played it, and it is insanely hard to win even a single stage, much less an entire race or even a tournament.

Murayama grit her teeth as she jammed the gamepad's sticks in different directions. "Oh yeah?! watch this!"

She pressed a button on the controller that inputs the handbrake. The car, traveling at 57 mph, weight-transferred onto its right side, causing the car to drift around a hairpin turn, but much to Murayama's dismay, it oversteered. Due to the high speed she was traveling at combined with the gravelly surface, the car smashed into a boulder.

"No! Why won't the car move?!" Murayama said, frustrated as she is unable to reverse, smoke pluming from the hood of the vehicle.

Arisu laughed. "Ain't it obvious? Yer car's radiator has been destroyed!"

Murayama turned to Arisu. "My what now?"

"The radiator! You don't know much about cars, do ya?"

The other brown-haired girl pouted. "No, I don't. Please explain."

Arisu smirked sadistically. "I ain't gonna go too much into the details, but a radiator is essential in the process of cooling the engine of a car. If the radiator ain't workin', the car is too dangerous to drive because the engine will heat up at unsafe levels, start smokin', and sometimes even catch fire. Right now, yer car is fucked." Murayama's pout deepened, to which Arisu smiled kindly. "Don't worry, darlin'. You'll get better at this game if ya practice."

Raynare, who sat next to Arisu, said, "You know, you're surprisingly tomboyish, aren't you?"

Arisu blushed. "S-Shut up. I can't help but be passionate about some things that my dad really likes, because when I was growing up, I ended up liking a lot of the things that he exposed me to. We're both nerds."

Murayama sighed as she exited out of Dirt Rally.exe and turned to the girls. "I'm not good at racing games. I only like shooters and sports games."

This earned a nod of agreement from Akeno. "Ara ara? I play shooters too, mainly CS;GO. It is so fun killing people. Fufu."

Murayama ignored the last part of Akeno's statement and pulled up the Steam page to add a friend. "We should totally play together sometime. My username is 'Nathan Algren' (22). I'll add you to my friend's list. What's your username?"

Akeno smiled happily. "It's 'xoxo360NoScopeSenpaixoxo.'" The friend request was sent.

Murayama asked, "What about you, Raynare? What type of videogames do you like?"

Raynare shrugged. "I don't really like playing videogames, I like watching other people play them. If I had to choose my favorite genre, it would be horror."

Ravel elegantly raised an eyebrow. "Really? I never would have pegged you for a masochist."

The Queen giggled. "I'm really not. I usually don't even play videogames. My favorite horror game is Outlast. I like playing it and watching other people play it. Issei has it in his Steam library, if you want to install it and give it a try, you can ask him to share it with you. It's not super scary except when you're being chased, and it has a really creepy atmosphere."

The other girls shook their heads except Arisu. "I also like horror, so I may do so. Thanks for the suggestion, Raynare."

Murayama stared at the only blonde in the group. "And what about you, Ravel?"

"I like RPG's and Visual Novels, especially Otome's."

"And you, Irina?"

"Well, I was born and lived most of my life an Angel, so I don't play games. Games were not allowed since they kinda encourage materialism."

A summoning circle appeared, and Issei teleported to his house with Kuroka, who looked around, confused. He explained the situation to the other girls.

"So, Kuroka is going to join the peerage if you rescue Koneko?" Asked Akeno. She isn't friends with Koneko anymore after what she and Rias' group did to Issei, but she can't help but feel a little worried about Koneko since she is the second youngest person in Rias' peerage next to Gasper.

Issei nodded. "I've come here to tell you all that I will be going to Chief and Slayer to ask them for help. I'd rather not get them involved in the supernatural, but... I acquired a new ability recently that lets me see who the Top 25 most powerful beings in the universe are, and Chief is ranked 22nd while the Slayer is ranked 1st."

Most of the girls were shocked while Arisu and Kuroka asked, "Who?"

"They're allies," Issei said. He was about to leave when he was stopped by Raynare, who grabbed his hand.

"Issei, I want to come with you."

"No!"

"Why not?"

"Sweetheart, I don't want you getting hurt." He gently squeezed his Queen's hand.

Arisu glared at him. "That's too bad, because we are all coming whether you like it or not, right girls? It is our job to support you, dumbass." They all nodded.

Issei sighed. "Fine. This could be a good opportunity to test you all in actual combat scenarios, but if any of you get badly hurt or die, I will be very mad at that person, understood?!"

"Yes, my King!" They all responded in unison.

Issei smirked. "Good. All of you are free to fight alongside me, and remember that Ravel can heal us with her Phoenix Tears. Now, let's go visit the address VEGA texted me."

. . . . . . .

The Arbiter quickly learned to not call Chief 'Demon,' the nickname he used very often for John since that term seems to make the Slayer extremely angry. The Slayer initially responded with sticking his super shotgun into the alien's mandible as if to ask, "What do you mean when you call him a Demon?! I'll kill you just like I'll kill the rest of the Demons!"

He also pointed his gun at the Chief.

Instead, Arbiter opted to call Chief, 'Spartan' since that is the type of soldier the Chief is.

The place they currently inhabit as their hideout is an underground apartment in downtown Tokyo. It appeared to be connected with an old World War II bomb shelter, which was well hidden in a small, unused cabin-like room inside an underground garage of a high-rise building, meaning they were lucky enough to live in this place for free.

They heard the vertical door open and someone close it behind them as they stepped down the ladder and into the apartment. It was Issei Hyoudou.

All three of them stared at the Sekiryuutei and Issei stared back, unable to believe what he was seeing.

They were playing Uno, and both John and Slayer had their helmets removed, still in the rest of their high-tech armor. The Arbiter never removed his.

"This is the place, Issei?" Raynare asked, earning a nod as the rest of the girls climbed down the ladder. "I have to admit that it is well hidden."

Issei got a good look at the two helmetless super soldier Humans.

John, despite being 42 years old, looked several years younger due to much time spent in cryo sleep. He is a Caucasian man at the height of 6'10" without his armor, 7'2" with his armor. He has freckles on his cheeks, short dark-red hair, and blue eyes, possibly of Irish descent. Years of military service is evident on his face.

The Slayer has short spikey black hair and terrifying black eyes. He looked to be in his late-20's, but something told Issei that where the Slayer comes from, age makes no sense. His eyes are the only part that spoke a story of age, years of hell literally present in his nearly emotionless orbs. Nearly emotionless, except for his never-ending anger. Issei had never felt so intimidated in his life just from being in the presence of this man said to be the most powerful being in existence.

"I win," Chief said, laying down his last card with a smirk, a Yellow 2.

The Slayer angrily spiked his deck of cards onto the table and turning his face away, resting his head on his hand as if saying, "Whatever. I don't even like this game that much."

The Arbiter sighed. "I had only two cards left, but it was an awful deck: a Red 7 and a Blue 0. Either one of them would have made me lose this deck."

"Issei Hyoudou, is there something you need?" VEGA asked.

The Sekiryuutei nodded. "The younger sister of a friend of mine, she has been kidnapped by supernatural beings, terrorists, who are holding her hostage in a very well-guarded location. I could use help from you three in rescuing her."
