Bastion: well then I think it's time I show my true self since soon enough I'll have a strong enough opponent and not to mention I will be killing you all. Rrrroooooaaaaar!
Power level: 2,767,890,973,214,321
Issei: alright le.....
Power level:????
Sirzech: no I'll be the one to fight him he's to much for you all anyway. Michael get them out of here it's to dangerous now
Rias: we can't just leave you here
Sirzech: rias listen despite everything that's happened so far his teammates deaths, his enemies joining forces, and Alex's power alongside the three factions leaders he has continued to laugh it off and assured us his victory is certain which means he has something planned and it's not here
Azazel: that would explain a lot actually especially why Alex's presence seems to be going in another direction meaning he sensed the real threat
Sirzech: exactly he must be going to stop it and he'll need help So go
Rias: alright but make sure you win
Sirzech: I will
( now with only sirzech and bastion left to fight one on one bastion charges forward and unleashes powerful slashes followed by huge blast of of energy with sirzech having not moved yet)
Bastion: well that was fun to bad it had to end so quickly but I didn't think yo......
( as the smoke cleared a dark demonic energy surrounded sirzech as he prepares an attack of his own)
Bastion: but how are you unscathed by my attacks? I should have at least done something to you
Sirzech: you are strong there's no denying that but the being of this world are of another class compared to you but I hope all this was well worth it for now get out of my sight
Bastion: nnn......nnnnoooooooo!
( within seconds bastion was reduced to dust )
Sirzech: well that's the last one.....hmm maybe not .........
( elsewhere)
Alex: so this was his plan all along....
???: yes it would seem he had also rigged this dimensional portal as an explosive as well as a way to get to our world
Alex: but why ?
???: as a last resort in case their plan failed they would take this world and it's power out of play
Alex: how do we stop it ms?
???: ms? You can all me queen that's what the others named me and as your second question the answer is in you
Alex: huh? What do you mean?
Queen: you ability to absorb magical power would allow you to absorb the energy from this portal in the process removing it's self destruction but there's no certainty that you will survive and if you do survive it may come at a cost
Alex: but if I do nothing it will come at a greater cost my friends so stand back please
SNATCH COUNTER!
( as Alex begins to absorb the energy it starts to overwhelm him but his resolve to save his friends pushes him forward )
Queen: your almost done just a little bit more
Alex: ahhhhhhh!
( as the last few ounce of energy are drained a loud explosion goes off)
Rias: uh.....Alex
Anna: we better hurry
Mia: yeah
Issei: don't die on us man
( but as they ran to the site of the explosion they saw none other than queen carrying Alex's body)
Anna: is he?
Queen: no but his power were lost in the process of stopping the portals self destruction
( analyze: if your wondering how Alex survived the answer is quite clever when Alex used snatch counter he began absorbing the magical energy from the portal and because it was magic in nature he was able to redirect all the energy he absorbed back at the portal destroying it and preventing it from being used ever again but this was not without a cost due to him also redirecting his own power as well this basically drained him )
( analyze: Alex's current power level is now 10,000)
Anna:...he sacrificed his power and his only way home....Alex
Mia:.........
Rias:......
Issei: man why'd you go and play hero damn it
Azazel: hmmm well it goes without saying but he saved us all so take his sacrifice as symbols of his resolve and the resolve you should all have and.......*cough* his powers isn't gone he just has at start square one and master everything again
Rias: ???....what do you mean
Issei: how is that possible? His power level dropped like crazy
Azazel: (hmm you guys can't sense yet cause your not at that level but it's there) for now let's just just clean up the remaining forces and head home
Everyone: yeah
( later that day at the gremory territory)
Everyone: CHEERS!
Issei: man it's finally over after all that fighting we finally won
Kiba: hard to believe but we won
Koneko: yup we reck those fools
Akeno: hmm...has anyone seen rias?
Xenovia: no actually I thought maybe she would be talking to some nobles
Rias: Alex isn't here either
Rossweisse:.........
( elsewhere)
Alex: huh.....so I'm back at square one
Rias: something on your mind?
Alex: oh! Rias no no I'm fine you go back to the party enjoy....
Rias: your a bad liar you know that of course your not fine and that's okay but hiding from everyone won't make it better we're your friends and we'll help you get back to your peak again
Alex:(smile) thank you for everything
Sirzech: I agree we will help you get back to your peak
Rias: sirzech
Alex:uhh!
Sirzech: your a hero Alex if not for your sacrifice we wouldn't be here right now so I wanna help you so with azazel help we arranged for monkey to take you under his training with him you will not only get back to your peak but go beyond it
Alex: I don't know what to say
Rias: you could say yes it's the best decision you can make
Alex: but I'll be gone for awhile after we just w....
Rias: you sacrificed everything for us the others will understand why you have to go for awhile especially if it means you can get stronger
Alex: alright I'll do it sirzech
Sirzech: alright I'll have your transportation ready for you tomorrow for now enjoy the ceremony
( as the one chapter ends for Alex a new one begins though he cannot return home has made a new one among good friends and with sirzech help he will begin his training to gain back what he lost)
( Far off in the distance)
????: hmmm so you beat the knights of black? Not bad but I'll still beat you in the end........Alex
