"Slow... too slow to even see my attack" Issei hears the Makasha voice ringing in his head, making him clench the boosted gear tightly while he stares at the destroyed field in front of him. Issei takes a deep breath and thrust his right hand forward, firing a dragon blast and start running beside it, before passing it and swipe the blast with his other hand, to redirect it upwards.
Issei wince feeling his left hand burning, but ignores it and releases his wings, shooting up the air, passing the blast and stop right in front of it where he smashes it down to the ground with the boosted gear. The blast made impact to the ground, causing it to erupt in a large explosion, demolishing the field. Issei looks down to see the smoke clears, showing a deep hole on the once normal grass filled ground.
"He took me down so easily" Issei curses, landing down and punch the earth, creating a wide crater. The boosted gear creak and shatters as the brown haired falls to the ground looking down at the small rubble blankly, 'Why can't I keep up with him... I train to the bones and still I feel so weak...' Issei clench the dirt, gritting his teeth 'Issei Hyoudou you're coming with me'.
Issei eyes widen, when remembering the Akumi member trying to kidnapped him '... I need to get stronger' an image of an injured Kokoro appear in his mind 'I almost lost her because I was weak... I need to get STRONGER!'. Green aura explodes from the field, shooting up to the skies causing the clouds to explode.
Rias smiles seeing Issei getting back on his feet and resume training, as she looks from above the trees 'Keep training Issei... you'll become stronger in no-time'. Rias releases her wings and fly up, but glance back one more time at her boyfriend 'At the tournament you will finally be able to show everyone just how powerful you really are...'.
Nakashi
"She's still in bed isn't she" Camilla giggles, seeing Nawin walking out from the guest room "Yes" he replies, smiling a bit when glancing back at his sister who's snoring like a baby while snuggling with her pillow.
Nawin close the door gently then makes way to the kitchen table to take a seat, "Sleep well?" Camilla ask, placing a cup of earl gray tea in front of the black haired "Yeah... it's been a while since I've slept well" he replies, taking a sip of the tea.
Placing the cup down, Nawin notice someone's missing, "Where's Gin?" he ask, noticing the blue haired is nowhere to be seen "Oh I just send him out to get some logs, since we need that for our special camp barbeque" Camilla reply making the black haired nod.
"So how are you and Lucy getting along now?" the mother asks, taking a seat in front of the Makasha "Mhm" Nawin hums with a smile gracing his lips, "It's well... I forgot how nice it feels being with her" he said, taking another sip from the tea.
"Lucy always have this cheerful and welcoming aura around her... she can make anyone smile if she wants, same goes with my other sister Asia who's always want to help others in need and listen to people's problem and help solve them... those two are so similar, but the main different is that Lucy is more energetic and enthusiastic though also hotheaded".
Camilla smile hearing this "Sounds like you have two wonderful sister Nawin-kun though Asia is adopted, correct?" "Yes, for some unknown reasons even to herself, Asia parents left her in front of the church doors when she was just a baby... I wonder myself sometimes why would a parent abandon a sweet girl like Asia..." he mutters.
"Well, it must be a blessing for her to have met you... I'm sure you gave her great happiness, by bringing her to your family" Camilla smile, which Nawin returns. "I'm back!" Gin announces, entering the room, holding a bunch of log on his shoulders "Not so loud you dunce" Camilla hiss making blue haired pale "R-right".
"Now that your back, let's move I want to get this over quick" Nawin comments, standing up causing Gin to groan "Really? I wanted to relax a bit" "No" the other reply blankly, heading out. "Come on Gin, move it" Camilla order making him sigh before following the Makasha.
Time Skip
"Hey Nawin you mind me asking a question?" Gin breaks the silence, as the two walk through the peaceful forest "Ask away" "I'm curious, before three months you were just an ordinary human, correct?" Nawin glance at the blue haired for a second before turning back to the path "Yes..." "Hahaha, I'm honestly surprise you haven't gone crazy after the roller coaster rides you had ever since becoming a devil... you sure have one iron will kid, being able to keep your sanity in control" Gin comments before chuckling.
Nawin sighs then looks up at the sun, shining down from the branches "The reason why I'm haven't gone crazy is probably because I've dealt with this kind of situation ever since I was just ten" he replies making the incubus turn to him surprise. "My life was never the easiest, dealing with things that would make other kids cry to their parents, but I did no such thing... I stood up on my own two feet and dealt with those problems myself, giving me bad reputation since it makes me different from other kids" "How so?" Gin asks.
"Mainly my personality is completely different from other students, that's why I got treated like an outcast, pretty much becoming a delinquent at my old school" Nawin explains "Doesn't seem to bother you though" Gin said, not noticing a single emotion coming out from the Makasha's blank tone.
"Mhm, I've always enjoyed being alone, but the main reason why I got criticized by being different is because I was a complete polar opposite compare to my sister, Lucy... she was pretty much the queen of the school, her cheerful personality makes everyone smile and she's pretty much became the most popular person in school, same goes with having a lot of admirer because of her looks and knowledge" Nawin chuckle a bit while Gin look at him surprise "You're... you're not angry?".
Nawin sighs, knowing that question would come up "No... I know my sister blames herself for the way the students treated me" "So in her mind, she thinks she's the reason why you were mistreated?" Gin said, making the black haired nod "Yes, though I never hold a grudge... how could I? she's one of the main reason why I've gotten stronger, I had a lot of enemies back at my hometown and they wouldn't hesitant to used Lucy to get to me, but I was able to sheltered her away from that for the most".
"What about your parents? I would have expected they would have done something about this?" Gin ask making Nawin chuckle a bit "Believe me, my mother would have torn the whole city if she wanted to, but I told her I would dealt with it myself... my mom did of course disagreed, but my dad stepped in agreeing with me" "Bad father..." Gin comment.
Nawin shake his head, "No my dad did the right thing, his intention was at the right place because of that I was able to become stronger and mature... plus when he was able to persuade my mom, he immediately begin training me on ways to protect myself" "I see...".
"Why did you do all of that?" Gin ask, making Nawin glance at him "As I said before, to protect my little sister and a certain friend of mine who is one of the main reason for my changed". Gin notice the Makasha tone harden, clearly telling him not to ask anything further which he caught "I see... you're one interesting person Nawin Makasha" "Mhm".
Camilla's House
'He's no longer the brother you once knew!' 'Are you trying to start a war?!' 'After all the deaths and destruction you still want to continue on this path!?' "NAWWINN!" "ISSSEEEIIII!" 'WHAT HAPPEN TO THE BROTHER I ONCE KNEW AND LOVED!', "Huah!" Lucy snaps her eyes open showing it glowing bright golden, she immediately sits up feeling sweat covers her body.
"Uh!" Lucy hold her cheeks feeling tears dripping down her eyes "W-why?" she mutters wiping the tears. "What are those voices!" she questions holding her head, but she is suddenly startled when an image appears showing her brother being covered by the mark, looking at her with those venomous red slit eyes.
A soft hand is place on the blond shoulder making her quickly turn up to see Camilla looking down at her with worry, "Calm yourself Lucy... I can hear your beating heart all the way from another room" she states. Lucy hold her chest and takes a deep breath before releasing it slowly.
Camilla return her hands to pass the blond a cold cup of water "Here drink up, it will help you calm down" Lucy grab the cup and slowly drinks it before passing it back to the older woman "T-thank you" she replies, still feeling spooked from the voices and that horrid imaged.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Camilla ask softly, placing the cup down on the table, beside the bed. "... I don't know it might be a dream or something else... maybe a vision" Lucy tries to explain "Visions?" Camilla question. The Makasga doesn't know why she's telling this to the succubus who she barely knows, but somethings inside tells her she can trust the older woman especially after she saved her brother.
Lucy close her eyes "I-it shows an image... an image of my brother who doesn't look the same... it's almost like he's a different person and he's looking at me with those slit red eyes like I'm a stranger!" Camilla place a comforting hand on the blond's shoulder "Calm down Lucy take a deep breath" she soothes.
Lucy did as tell, before opening her eyes and looks down at her shaken hands "I'm just worried for my brother... ever since I was born he's always been the one to protect me, b-but now I want to be the one to protect him... with my own hands... my own power! that's the reason why I'm training my hardest!" She exclaims.
Camilla can't help, but smile seeing how much the young Makasha wants to help her brother... protecting him 'What a strong bond she and Nawin have...', "Lucy I may not know much about this image you're talking about, but I do know one thing... you want to protect your brother correct?" "Yes".
Camilla smile "Then do that and make sure those vision doesn't happen... those vision may have been just a dream or it could be telling you something, you and your brother have been granted such a unique power and it's up to the both of you to master it and after you mastered it, I know you can protect your brother against any enemy" she states, making the blond look at her.
A small smile form on Lucy's lip "You're right, if these vision is showing me that my brother is in danger then I will do whatever I can to make it not happen and I will use this gift to protect him no matter what!" she swore, making the violet haired smile "Good because I'm sure that's what Nawin-kun would do for you as well" "Yeah I know that... more than anyone else".
Camp Site
"It's surprising clean... he must have expected to return back here" Nawin state, examining the standard looking camp that's been made under a large tree to block the sunlight "Yeah it's actually quite nice" Gin sighs, relaxing in a hanging chair making the black haired face palm before snapping his eyes opens showing it glow in red.
"Well you just sit tight while I investigate around here, you lazy git" Nawin comment and begin searching around the camp. The Makasha immediately notice something 'Some of the footprint here is recently fresh' Nawin state, kneeling down and look at one specific footprint 'It's smaller than the usual ones that's been walked through here everywhere which has to Yahiko's... this one's smaller... almost woman like'.
Nawin's pupils narrows before he gets back up 'So we have someone here who's also looking for Yahiko, but who?' Nawin notice one of the trees having a medium size hole going through it making him stop in front of it to and examine closely 'Interesting this hole instead of going through by force it's actually been melted through... and recent as well so it must have been the mysterious woman doing'.
Nawin notice a claw mark beside the trees 'Interesting these claw must be sharp enough to cut through human flesh like butter'. The Makasha close his eyes gathering all these new information 'My first thoughts would be the ghouls, but those footprint is more suited for human shape or any other supernatural creatures that looks like human... so it's not them'.
"You found anything?" Gin call out, making the Makasha walk back and take a sit on a log in front of the extinguish camp fire "Yeah a problem, it seems someone else is looking for Yahiko" Nawin inform making the blue haired sit up "Is that bad news?" "Depends on who's searching for him really... our job is to either kill him or take him back to succubus land and let him face justice... being honest I prefer the latter option" "WHY?!" Gin shoots back and grab the Makasha by the shirt.
Nawin look down at the incubus blankly "Are you that much of an idiot? I'm trying to help your sister and you get back to your homes" he said, shocking Gin "Bringing Yahiko back to custody will surely bring good to you and your sister name... as well for Hinoka life being with her homeland where she can make friends" Nawin reply.
Gin let the Makasha go and sighs "Thank you..." he mutters in gratitude, "Your sister help me so it's my turn to return the favor... now come on let's head back" "What about Yahiko?" Gin ask "I think we might have to face him at night because he's currently using this as his hideout" "It's da-" "I know" Nawin cuts in.
"But I have a plan, I'm going to place some special seal around here to give us an advantage tonight" Nawin said "What kind of an advantage?" Gin ask "Don't worry, you'll find out, but remember this will affect you as well so I hope you can face him without needn't to use that power" Gin smirk, creaking his knuckles "Oh don't worry I prefer a face to face confront anyway".
Nawin smirk "Good I'll explain the plan when we head back" 'Sairex I need to borrow some of your power' 'Yes I know what you're planning, but remember only a small dose, considering you haven't even begun training with it yet... it would be a devastation if you lose control with that kind of power in your disposal' 'I understand, don't worry'.
Nawin turn to the blue haired "Gin you mind going back first while I prepare everything" "Mind me asking why?" "Because I'm setting up a trap and I don't want you to accidently release it when you're here" Gin sighs "Fine, I can see you don't want me here".
Gin begins making way back to his home, after a minute of scanning the whole area, Nawin close his eyes and slams both his hands together, "Sairex now" golden sparkling aura starts leaking out from the Makasha before swirling around him.
Golden pigmentation start forming around his eyes, Nawin takes a deep breath and snap his eyes open showing the iris glow in golden while his pupil turns slit like a dragon.
"Now then let's begin" Nawin open his right palm which burst in golden aura, before slamming it down making the whole area shine brightly, blinding everything.
Time Skip
"Hyaa!" "Come on Hinoka you need to be faster than that!" Lucy grins dodging another drop kick coming from the young girl 'Damn for a small girl she sure have some strength' Lucy note, spotting a small crater on the ground crated by the drop kick. Camilla who is sited on a swing look at her daughter and smile peacefully, seeing an image of her late husband next to her little girl 'Just like her father always full of energy and loves to train'.
"Much like him huh" Gin comment leaning on the tree looking at his niece "He always trained... after finding out you're a succubus he stops at nothing to get stronger to protect you and Hinoka even though there's only so much he can do being a human... he was a good man" "Yeah, you got along great with him compare to Yahiko" "Of course because he was humble, loyal... and fun to be around with compare that bastard Yahiko" Gin reply with disgust, making Camilla nod.
"Haaa" Hinoka send a right hook to Lucy's face who dodge it narrowly by side stepping, but the blond is surprise when she feels something dripping from her cheek, "What?" she touches it and look to see it's blood.
"Hehehe" Lucy looks up to see Hinoka grinning while showing her nails has grown long and sharp "Succubus has the ability to grow their nails quite long to get a surprise attack on the enemy, my mama taught me this just in case I ever run into trouble".
Lucy smile wiping the blood away "You sure are one interest girl Hinoka, taking in your first impression I thought you were just a simple girl who don't know the basics of fighting" The violet haired grin bringing up a peace sign "Well Mama and Uncle Gin taught me these things so I could protect myself in any case I ever got in trouble, plus I really enjoy their training sessions, it's fun!".
"I have to admit I didn't expect to see this coming" a voice state making the two girl turn to see Nawin appearing in black flash "Flashy-kun" Hinoka grins hugging the Makasha legs making him ruffle her violet lock. Nawin picks Hinoka up making her squeak before placing her on his shoulder, he is caught by surprise when Lucy hug him.
Nawin look down at the blond "Lucy you okay?" he asks making her look with a smile plastered on her face "Yep, just glad to see you alright big bro" Nawin let out a small chuckle before ruffling the blond lock "You really are random sometimes sister or more like unpredictable" he comment making her grin.
"Unpredictable?" Gin repeat walking toward the three with Camilla in toe "Yeah my sister has a reputation of being quite unpredictable... she shown it from time to time in battles and her crazy pranks" "Is that s-" "Gin what's that smell?" Camilla turn to her brother smelling horrible stench coming from him.
"Ewww, Uncle Gin did you just popo your pants!?" Hinoka yell, holding her noise "Lucy..." Nawin turn to his sister who's laughing on the ground, holding her stomach "Ahahahah sorry, but this morning I notice I have one stink bomb left in my pocket and I didn't want to waste it".
"You little brat!" Gin shouts and was about to grab her, but stop when Lucy flick her finger, creating a small fire ball on the tip of her index finger, "Just to let you know, if this fireball hits you... You go boom" she smirks, making the blue haired pale. "I hope you don't use that as a strategy in your battles" Nawin comment blankly "Oh I did to a pour fallen angel, but it's super effective big bro" "Oh I'm sure, since only you can pull that off" he smiles.
"Gin shower now, before you stink us all" Camilla order her brother like a child who walk slowly to the shower house that's build behind the main house, "I'll gonna get you for this you sexy Makasha!" he yell, slamming the door shut.
"Uh, his flirtation gives me the shivers" Lucy said, rubbing her arms "Well he is an incubus so it makes sense he would flirt to females though I'm surprise you don't do much Camilla, I thought all succubus have that in their personality" Nawin admits turning to the older woman who giggles. "Oh, I'm a mother now, my days of doing that is over though when the time comes I do have to because I need to suck human life force to survive" she said.
"Wait, you have to kill humans?" Lucy ask surprise "No I only take some, not all so my victim will still be alive just extremely tired so they'll be in bed for a week, but we can suck all the life force to stay full for a longer period of time, but that means the victim will die" she inform.
"I see, so you and Gin only take ninety percent of the human's life force to stay full or at least for a couple of weeks?" Nawin ask, trying to understand "Yes and that's when I need to use my seduction to take my victim to some secret location so no one will spot me having my dinner" she said, grinning seductively.
"I guess there's no way out of it considering you need life force to survive" Nawin comment "Yes, but someone like Yahiko just take all of the life force from his victims right" Lucy said making Camilla nod "I lost count of how many humans and other supernatural creature have got their life force sucked dry by him".
"That's why Flashy-kun and Lucy-chan will stop that meanie Yahiko right?" Hinoka ask "Of course!" Lucy gives her a thumps up "We will stop him, so no one else will get hurt". "Lucy you mind playing with Hinoka for a minute, I need to speak with Camilla in private" Nawin state making the blond turn to him.
"Huh?! I don't like you keeping secrets" She pouts, crossing her arms "Don't worry I'll tell you tonight ok" Nawin promise placing Hinoka down while Lucy sigh "Ok, come on Hinoka let's continue on that fighting game back in the house" "Yeah!".
Nawin turn to Camilla when the two girls enter the house "So, did Gin tell you about my plan?" he asks which the older woman nod "Yes and I thank you, but Nawin-kun the chance of them accepting us back is low... very low considering what I did is extremely frown upon".
Carmilla relax a sigh before looking up at the Makasha with a smile "And being honest Nawin-kun... I prefer living here more, I'm actually planning on enrolling Hinoka to a small school in Nakashi so she can make friends with the children her own age... I just need some more money to pay for the enrollment" she informs, catching the black haired off guard by this sudden new information.
"I see... if that's what you want then I support it, but you said you needed money?" Nawin ask "Yes believe it or not I've just opened my own restaurant in town, since I thought it would allow me to do something with my usually bore day and also get money for Hinoka enrollment along for the family. though it's not completely done yet since I need to hire some staff and other stuff to be done".
"So you want to live a normal life?" Nawin ask which Camilla nod "Yes Nawin-kun, ever since Hinoka was born all I wanted for her is to live a normal and happy life... she doesn't need to go out on missions, putting her life in danger which will happen if we returned back to my homeland... living here allows her to have a normal life and most importantly be safe, but it seems my past is coming back to haunt me" She sighs.
"You think Hinoka can fit with the humans? even though she's only half succubus, it still must be hard" Nawin ask, worry that the young girl may fall into a situation similar to he's. "Oh you needn't to worry about that, Hinoka is a delight to be around with, some of my friends from the town, their children's enjoys her company... that girl can put a smile on people's faces just like her father" Camilla reassures, making Nawin take a deep breath in relief not wishing anything that happened to him to fall upon a sweet girl like Hinoka.
"If that's so... take this" Nawin bring his right hand up and a special card appear in black flash "What is it?" Camilla ask, taking the card "It's a special credit card that Sirzech gave me... there's plenty of money in there for you to use" he informs, surprising the mother of one.
"A-are you sure... I can't take something like this" Camilla said with gratefull but also uncertain "Don't worry, my family are wealthy and I usually take missions that directed by Sirzech himself which pays well so I'll be fine... take it Camilla, for your family" Camilla place the card in her pocket before embracing the black haired in a hug who return "You really are a blessing Nawin Makasha" she said in gratitude before pulling back.
Nawin smile "Mhm, I'm just trying to do what's right... and I don't want Hinoka to follow in a similar path as I, she needs to be happy after losing a father, but luckily she has a loving mother with her and a goofy but caring uncle" He said making Camilla giggle.
"Wait a minute mister" Camilla stop, noticing something "Did you just said Sirzech Lucifer? the King Satan of the underworld gave you the card?" She asks, curious clear in her tone.
Nawin nod "Well you see Sirzech gave it to me because I was doing a lot of mission which gave a lot of money that he thought it's a good idea to place it somewhere safe, so he gave me the card and yes he and I have a strange relationship you can say" he informs, rubbing his neck.
"Strange?" the succubus questions, "To put it simple he thinks of me as a little brother... I see that face Camilla, but it's true the king of Satan does not completely act like what you would expect, but he has a good heart probably one of the kindest person I've ever met".
Camilla listen closely with intrigued since she always wonders what the strongest devil would be like "I see, well it's good you have a friendly relationship with someone at that high up rank, you just keep amazing me Nawin-kun" she smiles making the black haired chuckle.
Camilla suddenly bows "Thank you for all your generosity" she said, making Nawin shake his head "You save my life and it's only right I repay you", "Done flirting with my sister" Gin appear with a towel wrap around his wet hair and waist.
"Wasn't flirting and where's your shirt?" Nawin ask "All my clothes stink, thanks to your sister" "Well go get change, I need to start making lunch" Camilla announce, "No let's go out and eat considering you already cooked dinner last night" Nawin suggest "I have no problem with that" Gin shrugs while Camilla nod "Sure, haven't eaten out for a while now".
Gremory Estate
"How's everyone feeling?" Sirzech enters Rias room to see veryone relaxing on the large bed "Fine, though still sore" Kokoro reply laying on the bed comfortably. Sirzech notice a member missing "Where's Issei?" "He's out training" Rias reply, walking past him, entering the room and takes a seat on her chair.
"Are you sure that's wise Buchou, he just finished healing, he readlly should be relaxing instead of training right away" Yuuto ask, worry for his friend health "Gotta give it to the pervert, he is sure one determine guy" Xenovia comment.
Rias shakes her head "Just let him train... he has the welsh dragon to heal his wounds in a much faster rate compare to all of us, so he'll be find, also I doubt he'll listen to us right now" She inform.
Kokoro sighs, leaning her head down on her arms "I've trained him and she's right, when Issei gets into it, he won't stop until he himself thinks it's enough".
Sirzech listen with interest, since he himself never tried to get to know the Hyoudou that much, even though the boy is his sister boyfriend, but he was fine with that considering he can see goodness in the Hyoudou's heart and he's love for his sister "How often does Issei-san train?" the Satan ask.
"Crazy amount, one time I was training him on creating his own fighting style though I didn't help too much since he need to make it himself to suits his style, then he spends a full day on it nonstop even when I told him to rest... to put it short the guy stamina is on a whole other level" Kokoro informs, surprising a lot except for Rias who already knows this.
"Psh, my master can do better than that" Hana suddenly speaks, making everyone turn to her, raising their eyebrows, "Oh is that so?" Kokoro replt with not so pleased tone, even though her king can be an idiot, she still doesn't take likely of someone not talking positive about him or especially says his hard efforts is not good enough.
Rias smile seeing Issei's queen defending him 'The stronger the bond, the more powerful the peerage will get' she notes remember the most important lesson she learned when building her own peerage.
"Yeah, my master does things crazier than Issei's" Hana state "Well I like to hear one of them than!" Kokoro sits up "He once climb a mountain with one hand tied behind his back" she said.
"I'll give that to Nawin-kun, but Issei also did a thing similar though with both arms and he claimed the tallest mountain in Kuoh which was 4 thousand meters tall!" Kokoro counters "Oh did I forgot to mention that my master climbs the tallest mountain in the underworld with as I said one hand tied behind his back with also a boulder strap around his feet!" the room went silent as all look at the hydra with eyes widens, wondering if she's joking.
"She's not bluffing me and Akeno had a chance to see Nawin-kun training it's... just crazy... more than that insane" Rias admits, "But the tallest mountain in the underworld is almost 7 thousand meters tall... even Nawin-kun can't accomplish that" Yuuto reply "Well Nawin-senpei is known to be a person who made the impossible possible" Koneko comment.
Sirzech close his eyes hearing these new facts 'Wouldn't be surprise if this is Azazel idea of training to help Nawin get strong in a much faster rate than normal type of training... but it doesn't surprise me that he can accomplish these tasks considering his lineage, same goes with his sister Lucy which Serafall is training to the hardest, pushing the girl to the max which I'm honestly surprise that she's still continues training with her'.
Sirzech open his eyes, "Well It's clear that Nawin-kun and Issei-san are powerful and hardworking individuals, but Hana and Kokoro, you two shouldn't talk about their training like it's some kind of competition, I'm positive neither of them will take it well, but it's good to see you two defending your kings though remember each of them have their own preferred method of training, so don't judge on them it's rude and impolite" he advises making the girls nod.
Sirzech smile and claps his hands, "Well with that cleared, if I'm correct you all don't have any school for the next two days, so you all can do whatever you want, now I need to head back to work before Grayfia chase me down" he said making the group chuckle, before he leaves, closing the door. "What are we gonna do in the meantime Buchou?" Xenovia ask.
"For now relax then head back to Kuoh tomorrow" Rias advise, "Wait where did Hana go?" Yuuto point out making everyone turn to the direction where the hydra used to be "Why did she just disappear?" Kokoro mutter "Probably headed back to the familiar forest" Rias answers.
Time Skip: Nakashi
"I hate you Makasha... so much" Gin glare at Nawin who's sited on the other side of the table, arms crossed with Lucy and Hinoka next to him. The blond Makasha smirk "Ha, you're not so popular anymore are you?" she said, glancing at the group of teenage girls staring at her brother with hearts in their eyes.
"Of course Flashy-kun would be more popular than you uncle, he's the black flash!" Hinoka exclaims, making Gin hung his head down in depression that his sweet niece is taking the Makasha side.
"Yep my brother is too awesome for the likes of you who's nothing" Lucy comment making Gin slam the table and glare at her "WHAT YOU SAY!?" "I SAID YOU'RE NOTHING! HEY LOOK MY PHONE IS RINGING" Lucy take her phone out and answer "HEY IT'S NOTHING HE SAID HE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU!" she jokes making Camilla and Hinoka giggle while Gin glare harden.
"Lucy as much as I usually find amusement with your insults please calm down, people are staring" Nawin said which the blond listen and take a seat down while placing her phone back in her pocket. "Same goes with you Gin" Camilla pull the blue haired by the back of his shirt. "You two are funny" Hinoka giggle making Lucy grin as well as Gin.
"Camilla you already order for us?" Nawin ask making the violet haired nod "Yes we come here often and the food is always excellent, so don't worry" "I can't wait I'm starving!" Lucy announce, rubbing her stomach "I hope you order a lot Camilla because Lucy have one big appetite" Nawin smile ruffling the blond lock "Oh don't worry I ordered plenty".
Time Skip: Night at Nakashi
"Hinoka's in bed" Camilla walk back into the living room, seeing the three sited at the table "My, my don't you just look delicious my dear Lucy" Gin grins seeing the blond wearing a different attire instead of the Kuoh uniform.
The new attire consists of a long high collar white longs-sleeve jacket that reach down to her knees which is kept unzip, black strap tank top, long tight black jean with a thick belt going around that have a flaming skull buckle, white fingerless glove, and black combat boot with red soles.
Lucy flick the blue haired off which make his grin bigger "Enough Gin... now then the let's focus on the plan which is simple. we are going to ambush Yahiko at his camp" Nawin starts off "Well being honest it's a good idea considering you said you already have a trap ready when arriving there to counter the dark power we possess?" Gin ask which the black haired nod "Yes, you'll see it when we're there".
"Don't you think he will notice someone been at his camp or your trap?" Camilla questions, taking a seat "You won't have to worry about that, it's not like we were messing things up in there and for the trap it's next to impossible for him to see it unless he has these" Nawin points at his eyes which glows bright red while the pupil sharpens "Wish I could do that" Lucy pouts, making her brother chuckle as his eyes returns to normal.
"But back to the plan, if we pull this out right, then it's an easy win considering we outnumbered him, but we also need to remember that there's someone aside from us is tracking him... we need to prepare for the possibility that she could be there" Nawin state making the other nod.
"Do you know who this person could be Onii-san?" Lucy ask making Nawin eyes narrow going in deep thought as a picture of Sayomi appear '... There's a chance it's her, but it's unlikely, considering I see no point of her needing to get involve with this' he state before shaking his head, turning to the blond "No there wasn't much evident there for me to know who it is".
"There's a chance it could just be a bounty hunter, since Yahiko head is in the black book that all bounty hunters carry" Camilla inform making Nawin summons the bingo book that Azazel gave him and start flipping to the page where all the name start with Y "Mhm, there he is, Yahiko no last name, a succubus, wanted for killing a lord's daughter by taking her life force, head worth four million yen" Nawin read out.
"Four Million that's it?" Lucy ask not impress "It's still a lot of money for bounty hunter standard Lucy, you don't need to compare Yahiko's to our mother or mines" Nawin reply making her nod "How much is your head?" Gin ask curious "One Billion Yen!" Lucy replies for her brother.
"Wow, you must have a lot of people after your head Nawin" Gin smirk "Not likely Nawin is put in a S class rank which make him the second most dangerous group at that book, just behind the double S class group who are the worst of the worst" Camilla explain "Double S class huh?" the blue haired mutter.
"A lot of SS class individual's identities are unknown, so only their nicknames are in here that the people gave them and some appearance information..." Nawin said teleporting the book back to his pocket dimension. Lucy look at her brother with slight worry seeing his focus are somewhere else 'He must be thinking about the Akumi...'.
Nawin shake his head and look down his watch "Nine... we'll leave in thirty minutes, now then let's go through the plan more thoroughly alright?" "Yeah let's do this and make the place safer for my little niece" Gin said with determination making the others nod.
Time Skip: Camp Site
'Whao, these seals actually work!' Gin said with amazement hiding behind a bush while looking at the camp seeing it's empty. He turns to the right seeing Lucy up top at the branch with her jacket away since it could easily get her spotted. Nawin who's at the opposite side of Gin stands on a branch as well 'He's coming' the black gives a hand signal making the two nod and hide behind their cover completely.
A person walks to the camp fire and sits at a log before taking a deep breath, the man has short indigo hair, strong ripped build body showed by his sleeveless button shirt which he keeps open, long blue jeans and silver combat boots, piercing green eyes. Nawin eyes narrow with annoyance already knowing this person is full of arrogant judging by his aura 'Great just what I need, another Riser' he mumbles.
Gin glare at the man who made his sister life a living hell, but he calms down feeling a hand grab his shoulder making him look behind to see Camilla 'Good she made it' he smiles which she returns. Nawin notice Camilla arrival 'Good, now let's begin' he said, seeing Yahiko sitting by the camp fire, ready to cook some meat.
Nawin signal the other again which make all of them close their eyes 'Now then, Heavenly Light!' the Makasha flick his finger up, making the whole area explode in bright light "What the, AHHHH" Yahiko get up and is immediately blast with bright light that burns his eyes forcing him to close it and falls backwards.
The four jumps out of their hiding spot and land next to the incubus who's rolling around the ground in pain. "Wow that was easy!" Gin exclaims, honestly surprise "Bright though" Camilla look around the area seeing dozens of seals glow brightly making the whole area look like it's morning.
"AHH How? I should have sensed you four!" Yahiko curses, holding his eyes "The seal I placed on the trees disguise their magic, making it impossible for you to sense it while I just hide mine well" Nawin reply. "Ahahahahaahaha!" The four are surprise when Yahiko start laughing like a madman "Hey, why are you laughing you scum!" Gin sneer.
"Oh Gin you have always been blind haven't you" Yahiko said as his body suddenly lit up making Nawin eyes widen "EVERYONE, GET AWAY FROM HIM!" He yells disappearing in black flash while the other release their wings and shoots up to the air. Yahiko boy erupts in a giant explosion, "What the hell!" Gin look down at the destroyed camp, with Camilla and Lucy "He just blew himself up?" Camilla comment, wondering if the incubus is even alive.
"As I feared that was too easy" Nawin appear next to Lucy looking down at the ruined area "I sense three people... right behind us!" Lucy inform making the three turn to see Yahiko and two new comers, "Freed" Nawin look at the grinning white haired "W-what it c-can't be I killed him!" Lucy exclaims in completely shock.
"Oh perfect the bitch is here huh!" Freed grins bloodthirsty making Lucy glare at him "Your even more foul mouth than before... don't worry this time I'm going to burn you into nothingness!" Blue flame erupts from the blond making the dark sky glow.
"Go get him Lucy" Nawin said, making the blond nod and speed toward the white haired who smirk flapping his devil-like wings sending him flying back with the blond following. "Been a while, hasn't it Camilla?" Yahiko smirk "Yes and I like to keep it that way, but I guess sometime things don't go as plan" she reply.
"Now come on, don't be so cold after all I came back here because of you" Yahiko hold his hand out "Why don't you return to me after all your husband is dead!" "BECAUSE OF YOU!" Camilla eyes blaze in rage and flies toward the indigo haired, sending a high right kick which he blocks with his hand "Have to do better than that babe" he smirk.
"You forgot someone!" Camilla lean her head to the side as Gin appear behind her, sending a surprise right hook pass her head and right to Yahiko's face causing him to slid back before flapping his wings to stop. "You always annoy me Gin" Yahiko mutters darkly, wiping the blood away and glare at the blue haired who return it with equal amount of rage.
"I'm going to end you so my sister and niece can finally live in peace!" Gin swore. releasing his power making purple aura explode from him pushing Camilla back signaling her that he got this.
Yahiko laugh madly "Ahahahaha, YOU'RE SAYING THAT ABOMINATION IS YOUR NIECE! Ahahaha oh how low you have fallen Gin!" The blue haired aura spiral violently as rage build in his body "YOU FUCKERR!" Gin speed toward the indigo haired with such speed that it cut the wind and deliver a brutal uppercut making the clouds explode.
Yahiko is send flying up passing the clouds with Gin following him. Nawin look at the blue haired slightly shock feeling his power skyrocketed after that venomous comment delivered by Yahiko. 'I guess he will be able to hold on his own while Lucy deal with Freed and I deal with mine' Nawin turn to his opponent, who wears a black cloak with the hood pulled over their face.
'If Freed here, then this is Schynzel's doing... though the individual in front of me can't be Rin considering there's no point for her to hide herself and the magic signature from this person is different from hers' Nawin sighs "You mind removing the hood, I hate people hiding their face" he requests.
"If you want to see my face then pull the hood back yourself" A soft feminine said challenging the Makasha, who raise an eyebrow "Fine I will" he disappears and reappear behind the girl, extending his hand toward the hood, but he stop when the girl summons a light lance and swing it in 360 degree forcing him to flash away.
Nawin is caught by surprise when the girl immediately throws the lance at the direction as he just reappears forcing him to summon the twisted etcher and cut the lance down. "Can't do it?" The girl asks almost in teasing tone, which the black haired find unamused "Mhm, I can go a bit faster" Nawin disappear in black flash and appear in front of the girl to cut the whole hood off with the twisted etcher.
What the Makasha saw shock him to the core '... Curse you SAYOMI!', Nawin red eyes blaze in fury, clashing with Raynare's blood red slit eyes. "Hello Nawin-kun" she greets before firing a dense magic blast from her right hand forcing the black haired to use the speeding shadow god to dodge it.
"How are you alive!" Nawin demands, appearing a meters away from the fallen angel who smirk "Oh my dear, I thought you'd be smarter than that ahahaha the one you killed back then, wasn't even me!" She reveals shocking the black haired.
"... Impossible I killed you with my own hands, stop lying I know Sayomi revived you" Nawin state, making Raynare laugh "Ahahahah that's the problem Nawin-kun you think so lowly of me and it was one of the reason why I was able to fool you from the beginning" She reply. "The person you killed was my pathetic older sister" Raynare reveal, making Nawin click his teeth "Tsk, you expect me to believe that! Dohnaseek told me you killed Ritsu" he counters.
"The idiot just assume I killed her, they didn't even saw me killed her!" Raynare reply, which Nawin can't disclaim considering Dohnaseek never told him that he actually saw Raynare killed her sister. "How is the person I killed was Ritsu? considering it looks identical to you" Nawin ask "Oh you never saw my sister, we look very similar to each other, the only different is that her height is slightly taller same goes with her hair being longer though the big different would be our personality, but just with one tortured session well it was easy to manipulate her to act like me, also I just put a simple illusion on her eyes considering her is brighter than mine's" Raynare replies with smirk.
Nawin clench his fist, can't believe that Raynare was able to fool him 'Huh, not surprising that she was able to trick you kid, after all you were practically weak back then' Tairex comment.
"Never expected to have this reunion, were you?" Raynare smirk, throwing the cloak off showing her new attire which is more simplistic, consist of a short brown crop top leaving her belly expose, short cut blue jeans and long spiky battle metal boots, long black glove that reach up to her elbow.
Nawin notice something that catch him slightly off guard and it's Raynare wearing the necklace he gave her on their date 'She still has that...'. "Well, what do you think of my new attire much better than the first one if you ask me, considering I'm now able to move more freely" She comment stretching her arms.
Nawin sighs and shake his head to get it straight "Why have joined Schynzel Raynare... or to be more specific why have you joined Sayomi?" he asks. The black haired didn't miss the venom coming from the Makasha comment, when mentioning the pureblood vampire "Oh simple really, she gave me strength and promise in giving something I want" she answers "And what would that be?" Nawin ask "Sorry my love, but that's a secret though, I'm surprise you still haven't asked about why we're here... is it that shocking to see me alive that you lost your cool" Raynare smirk with amusement.
Nawin turn serious, getting to his stance holding the twisted etcher tightly "I already have a good idea on why you're here, to recruit Yahiko correct?" "Ohh sharp, you sure have grown nicely for the past few months that good" the Makasha could have swarm he heard relief coming from the fallen angel tone when saying that.
"We were to recruit Yahiko, but he wants to take that succubus with us before joining" Raynare announce "Mhm, figured as much but I'm not allowing that" Nawin state "Expected as much, well then, why don't we have a little dance, for old time sake" Raynare suggest, summoning a light katana and gets to her stance.
"You've change haven't you... you're no longer a fallen angel" Nawin conclude seeing the featherless wings on Raynare's back, now it's only full of muscle, similar to a devil "You've become a vampire" she smirks, showing her two sharp fangs "And it's been a fun experience, also gave me some unique powers".
Raynare appears beside Nawin and wrap her right arm around his neck "I wouldn't mind having a taste of your blood" she whispers, opening her mouth and leans her head near the Makasha neck while he stares forward blankly.
Freed and Lucy
"Stop moving blondy!" Freed fires dozens of rounds at Lucy who flies around the air, dodging the bullets "I'm getting sick of this" Lucy spins and shoots a couple of fireballs, forcing Freed to move giving the blond an opening to speed toward him and deliver a hard punch to the ribs, sending him flying back.
"I'm gonna burn that stupid vampire wings of yours... you joining a person who wants nothing, but to hurt my brother already give me enough reason to kill you" Lucy said darkly, feeling rage filling her body while Freed laugh "Ahahahaha, that pathetic brother of yours will die by her hands with ease, but enough about that stay still so I can kill you!" he grins speeding toward the blond.
Lucy shoots two fire blast which Freed jumps to the right and left dodging both of them and stop in front of her bringing his light great sword down. Lucy summons a flaming scythe and block it before kicking the white haired in the stomach sending him stumbling back, "Die" she mutters spinning the scythe and chop Freeds head off clean making his body fall to the ground along with the dismembered head.
Lucy sighs dispelling the scythe "Good riddance" she mutters "Ahahahahah, that's all?!" the blond eyes widen and look down seeing Freed looking up at her grinning sadistically "W-what" she mutters in complete shock 'I cut his head off!'.
"You just fall into my trap blondy!" a blinding white beam shoots beneath the ground, right underneath the blond, "AHHHHH" Lucy screams in pain, feeling her body being burn from the light, "HA!" Freed appear in front of her and stab the great sword right though her chest. "It's over!" he announce with sadistic grin, looking at the blond who looks back at him with shock as blood sip from her mouth.
Nawin turn alert when seeing his sister current situation, "LUCY!" he shouts and tries to move, but Raynare immediately tighten her grip "Sorry, but your battle is with me!" she exclaims, bringing her left palm close to his face as red orb form "DOOM BLAST!", "NO!" Nawin slam his elbow back at Raynare stomach with brutal strength that it forces her to let go, but she still points her palm at the Makasha and fires the blast.
Nawin disappear in black flash and reappear a few meters away, then immediately turn to Freed, seeing him lift the great sword up intending to slice the blond in half. "NOO!" Nawin speed toward them to only be stop by Raynare appearing in front of him with hundreds of light lance behind her acting as barrier "GET OUT OF THE WAY!" he yell in fury, releasing his powers and summons hundreds of shadow weapons, matching the vampire.
"Goodbye blondy!" Freed smirk "Ha...ha...hahaha" he pauses in shock when hearing a chuckle coming from the blond's blooded mouth, "You think I would fall for that?" she questions suddenly her body emits in bright blue flames before exploding in a giant flaming vortex taking Freed in it. The real Lucy appear in front of the flaming vortex and place her hands on it making it shape into a ball.
"Now then, perish with the flames" she states, bringing her hand back and point the index finger up sending the fire ball higher up to the air. "Ha!" Lucy close her right palm causing the fire ball to explode up the sky.
Raynare eyes widen and turn to the black haired seeing him appear in front of her, holding the twisted etcher that immediately goes through her abdomen before she could react "Déjà vu, wouldn't you say my dear" Nawin claim blankly "I'd say I nailed the acting part quite well" he comments with a small smirk form on his lips.
Raynare shock expression slowly turn into a smirk catching the black haired attention, "What are you smirking for Raynare?" he asks with caution, suddenly having a bad feeling. The vampire suddenly grab his wrist while using the other hand hold his neck pulling him closer to her "Why don't I take you in an explosive ride Nawin-kun" she teases as her body start to glow.
'Shit! I can't teleport since she's touching me!' Nawin curse and eyes widen seeing Raynare whole body glow brighter 'No!'. "BIG BROTHER!" Lucy scream, flying toward the him, "BOOM!" she is send back when Raynare explode, creating a violent shockwave to the forest and sky.
The people of Nakashi look up, seeing a beautiful purple light glowing from the distance "Woah, is there a firework going on out there?" "Probably kids playing around that's all" "Yeah...".
