The Invaders

Finally came the day that possibly dictated the future. The Three Factions meeting in Kuoh.

Having still not fully gained enough confidence, Gasper stayed behind in his cardboard box playing games with Koneko there to guard him in case something happened.

On the Devils' side were Sirzechs Lucifer and Serafall Leviathan, the latter giving horny eyes to Takashi Mitarai while she held her glare to a person in heaven's corner.

The Archangel Michael represented Heaven. To his side was Gabriel with her unfathomable beauty, with gold locks that cascaded like a river, a flower in her hair, and a golden halo, too. Unlike Michael, she had oceanic orbs. 

As smug as usual was Azazel, sitting casually with Vali behind him. Azazel wore a V-neck maroon long coat with a wide, open high collar.

'Ahh, Gabriel-sama stunning as always!!' Mitarai thought, trying not to excite himself at a serious conference.

At last, the meeting began.

"Red Dragon Emperor, is there something you'd like to say?" Azazel asked, seeing the kid in his eyes not really paying attention.

"I guess I do want to ask Michael something," he said, making the archangel look in his direction.

"I probably can't understand the stuff you have to do, but I want to know why Asia, Xenovia, and Irina were excommunicated. They didn't really do anything wrong, Asia, especially."

Michael gave a sad look. "It pains me, too. But we could not afford the risk. Heaven was already weakened enough without the support of God, and I am only His creation. We couldn't damage losing any more faith, so it had to be done. Forgive me for the pain the Church has caused you three," Michael apologized, prostrating his head.

"It's fine, Archangel Michael!" Asia explained. "I've found amazing people to help me," Asia added, with the two holy sword users nodding.

"Even if it was for a greater cause, the suffering caused by you two should not be ignored."

Mitarai stood forward. "I don't know if I have that much interest in it, but I'm sure those three still hold their faith dearly to them. Would it be too much to ask you to remove the power that prevents them from praying?" Mitarai suggested, getting looks of arousal and admiration from the Church trio.

Michael shook his head, smiling at the idea. "No, it is very much possible. But I'd like to ask you three," Michael said, turning to the trio. "Will you still pray, even after knowing the truth?"

"Yes!"

"Absolutely!"

"Of course!"

Takashi smiled at the fact they managed to get some sort of happiness, while Gabriel looked at him with a small look of joy.

'How selfless of him to do such a thing!! Just what has led to Mitarai-kun being gentle?'

After the small resolution of their Bible reading issues, the summit continued.

Takashi found himself meeting Vali's gaze several times, an invisible clash of lightning between the two of them.

"What about you, Vali? How does peace sound?" Azazel asked, tilting his head back to greet the young man.

Vali shrugged, his back still leaning against the wall. "I don't really care. Just as long as I get to fight strong opponents."

"And what does the Red Dragon Emperor think?"

Mitarai had an applause of eyes on him, and Rias held onto him a bit. "Way to make me nervous huh, but I want peace. I don't see anything great if there's division. We've already got enough problems as it is. Thanks to an idiot fallen angel" Mitarai looked towards Azazel, who looked away with a chuckle.

Azazel clapped. "Nice speech."

A greyscale took over as Mitarai looked to see that several people were frozen; the leaders, holy sword users, and the Dragon Emperors were free from the Chrono Stasis. "Gasper's power?" Mitarai remarked.

Outside, several magicians came out and began to fire at the group. However, a magical barrier was erected by Grayfia.

"Rias, free your Bishop to bring things back to normal. Mitarai, use the power of the Red Dragon Emperor to break the others free."

"Guess we can't laze around. Vali."

Divine Dividing appeared on Vali as he took flight. "Yeah, yeah. These small fry are nothing, though!"

Rias clutched Mitarai's hand. "We're going to use castling on the unused Rook piece and go straight to Gasper and Koneko."

"You two!" Azazel called out. Mitarai caught a silver bracelet. "Use it on the vampire to help control his Sacred Gear."

SLPAAAAAAAASHHSHHH

BOOOMMM

A large blast of demonic energy came from a tall bespectacled woman with a voluptuous figure.

She had tan skin with long brown hair tied into a bun with a headset and she had blue-grey eyes. She wore an extremely low-cut dress and it had a high slit which exposed a large portion of her breasts.

"FUCK! Everything that I hate to see!! I hate that you Satans dare rule the Underworld! You besmirch the names of the Old Satans!"

"Katerea! Why are you doing this?!" Serafall shouted.

"You... the one who has taken the name of Leviathan! My clan name! I despise you!" Katerea shouted to Serafall.

Azazel sighed as he stepped forward. "It seems you devils are always causing issues. Guess I'll clear this one up. Think of it as thanks for dealing with my servants."

Castling, the two of them witnessed Koneko and Gasper bound to the wall while a bunch of magicians looked in surprise.

They got ready but it was pointless as Mitarai flaring his aura was enough for them to succumb down.

"Rias! Mitarai! I'm sorry for failing you! I can't do it!" Gasper lamented.

"Gasper!" Mitarai shouted, making the trap stop complaining. Ignoring the pain of cutting himself with Ascalon, Mitarai flicked the blood to Gasper. "Forget about it, and drink my blood! You're a man, aren't you?"

Feeling the instinct to prove himself, Gasper's eyes glowed as he ingested the potent liquid, the magicians frozen in place while Rias freed Koneko from the bindings.

"It's okay, Gasper. You did well," Koneko said.

Gasper looked a bit downcast but Mitarai put a hand on his shoulder. "Here, wear this. You should be able to control your power with it. Plus, you actually drank blood. So quickly, too. You're learning!"

"Thanks!"

With the time stop no longer active, the other devils, like Sona's Peerage, joined in fighting the abundance of magicians that spawned; Xenovia and Irina working in a duo.

"What's wrong, Katerea? Not doing so well."

Katerea grinned. "I'll show you!" she shouted, taking out a snake which soon assimilated into her energy, a strong outburst of power…
