Erissei raced to Asia's location. They were on high speed and dodged a lot of people on the way.
The bracelet's sensor led them to a secluded street and the trail continued to a specific building.
" It's coming from the basement." Issei said.
" Let's go!"
*(Crash)*
" WAHAHAHAHA!"
" I'll cut you up to pieces, little devils!"
" Kiba-san? And Koneko-chan?" The Goddess exclaimed as she saw the two ORC members. They were fighting a crazed man who was swinging his sword frantically.
" S-senpai." Koneko said as she fell to the ground. She suffered some cuts to her hand and a portion of her clothes become tattered.
Erin's eyes narrowed at this and her anger reached to dangerous levels as she saw a blonde laying helpless on the other side.
" Asia!" Shouted Issei which stirred the nun awake.
" I-Issei- san and Erin-san." The blonde weakly greeted.
"What did you do to her?" Issei spoke in anger. His voice caught the attention of the crazed man who merely looked at him in confusion.
" Oh, who do we have here? We have visitors!" He glanced at the ORC Members before continuing " And Ooh, we have a pretty one here. Can I keep you? Pretty pretty pleasse."
Erin made a disgusted look as the man once again laughed like a maniac.
" I'm certain you.." He pointed to his self with the sword he was holding. " And the great Freed would make a perfect match together! TeheHEheh."
Kiba dashed forward and the Freed guy blocked his attacks.
"Watch how strong I am, Miss Pretty. I will slice these filthy devils." He raised his sword and dashed forward; sending the positions reversed as it was now Kiba on the defense.
" CUT IT CUT IT CUT IT CUT IT! Watch me How I CUT IT!"
" Sucker Punch!"
" Eh?"
*(Crash)*
Freed was sent flying on the wall after receiving the impact from Issei's boosted Punch.
" Tsk. What's your deal you stupid human!" Freed spit out a few blood from his mouth. "You want me to cut you to Pieces as well? FINE, come here you stupid shit!"
Freed engaged Issei to a fight. The Blonde Knight also helped in fending off the crazed man.
" Are you okay, Koneko-chan?" Erin asked in a worried tone as she helped the girl up.
" I-I'm fine, Senpai." The girl slightly winced because of her wounds and Erin helped her regain her balance.
" Give me a second, Koneko-chan. I'll help Asia-chan there." She pointed to the blonde laying on the opposite side.
*(Glass Breaks)*
Erin was forced to take cover and shield herself from the glass shards. 3 figures blocked her way from getting Asia and the Goddess snarled at this.
" Oy oy oy. What took you 3 so long?" Freed boredly said.
" We have orders we needed to attend.' The shady looking man replied.
" I-It's that Fallen Angel!"
The trio looked at Issei and one of them gave him a glare; recognizing the brown haired teen.
" Is that the boy you were supposed to kill, Raynare?" The other Fallen angel asked. It was a girl of short height.
" Yes." Replied Raynare with gritted teeth. " But I wasn't able to do that because a weird magic user butted in- IT'S HER!"
Erin gave a predatory smirk to the Fallen Angel.
" Hello again, Yuuma-san. Have your wings got healed already? Or have you recovered from your electric shock?"
" Grhh.. Why You-
" Are you certain that she did that damage to you?" The man stopped Raynare from her attack.
" I am certain Dohnaseek. What do you take me for? An idiot?!"
" But I don't sense any powerful aura from her." The other fallen angel said. " She seems just a Pretty Face. Nothing special."
" You're saying that cuz you're not the one who got attacked that day!" Raynare replied with a sneer.
" I'm flattered you think I'm pretty, Miss Fallen Angel." Erin did a little curtsey causing Raynare's companion to blush. "But I'm hurt hearing that you say that I'm nothing special. Since you are already special for me."
" Shut Up! You disgusting flirt!" Raynare prepared to attack and turned to her companion. " And You. Snap out of it. You're here to finish them off and not get love-sick or anything."
" But I-I-I'm not-
"Start fighting. You take the White haired-one over there." She pointed to Koneko. " Dohnaseek, you're in charge of that Boy over there."
"Hm? Okay. I'll finish the task you failed." mocked the man with a smirk.
" HEY! What About Me?!"
" You're enemy is me!" Kiba said and attacked the crazed man. The sound of swords fighting can soon be heard.
" And I'll handle this one." Raynare stared at Erin's eyes with killing intent. "I've got a business to settle with her."
" Heh. Show me by your actions and not by baseless words." taunted Erin.
[ BOOST!]
Issei and Dohnaseek started fighting. The former activating his sacred gear; sending a burst of explosion to the man.
Mittelt flew towards Koneko but the Goddess managed to activate her Weaponized arm causing a Rope-like accessory to emerge from the compartment.
" Eeek!"
" Leave her alone!" The rope caught Mittelt's right leg and Erin held on to it as she swing the rope towards Raynare.
" Mittelt you foo-
*(Crash)*
Raynare and Mittelt was sent flying to a wall and they collapsed on the ground.
"Ah. My arm hurts. How much does these two weigh?" The goddess thought in annoyance as the laser-like weapon emerged from the compartment; replacing the rope earlier.
" Blast!"
Raynare was still recovering but she managed to dodge the laser beams. She used Mittelt as a shield while running to avoid the attack.
" How low can you get, Yuuma? You're seriously using you're comrade to avoid dying?"
[ EXPLOSION!]
" Argh!" Dohnaseek suffered a slight burn on his back and he glared at Issei with hatred. " You're becoming a nuisance you stupid human. Prepare to die!"
*( Lightning Cackle)*
"Take this!" Erin fired a lightning bolt to Raynare's direction but she flew to avoid the attack. The bolt hit Freed instead whose body immediately spasmed.
" ARGHHH!!" *(zap)* " THIS SHIT *(zap)* HURTS!"
He fell on his knees and made a 'thud' sound; losing consciousness.
Raynare raised her hand to summon light spears. She threw multiple spears towards the enemies.
" GUYS, MOVE!"
Erissei and the ORC members successfully dodged the attack. Issei suffered slight cuts but managed to avoid severe damages.
Erin activated her sacred gear and tried to summon her Geass to which proved to be unsuccessful. She gritted her teeth in annoyance and opted for another attack instead.
" Take cover and shield your ears!"
Issei and the ORC members followed and the Goddess released a scream which created a ripple effect; sending the enemies on the wall.
" AHHH!"
" Kuh. Why you." Raynare composed herself and a magic energy materialized in her hand. A flash of red light interrupted her and a symbol appeared on the Ground.
Rias and Akeno emerged from the portal *(I don't know what those things are called)* who immediately scanned the room and noticed the damages.
" I've sent Yuuto to assist Koneko in this mission. I was wrong to assume that it was just a mere stray devil. Look at what we have here, a bunch of Fallen Angels."
spoke Rias in a menacing tone.
" That signature Red hair. It couldn't be.. The Devil from Gremory.." Dohnaseek exclaimed who was slightly alarmed.
" We're leaving! Mittelt, take Freed and you Raynare, take the blonde nun over there."
" What? No way! I'm still fighting them." She directed her glare at Erin who returned the gesture.
" Nonsense. We received our orders and we will proceed with it. The ritual is our priority unless you want to get punished Raynare?!" Dohnaseek now glared at the girl and she complied with the order begrudgingly.
Erissei was alarmed and Issei was the first to take action.
" You won't take her!" He raced to Raynare but Dohnaseek sent a light spears their way which forced the group to take cover.
Before they can retaliate, Raynare already grabbed Asia who was screaming from the hold.
" Let me go!"
" ASIA!" Erissei shouted.
Erin sent a lightning bolt but the Fallen Angels dodged it.
" Kuh. Why you." Said Erin who exuded a murderous aura.
" We shall take our leave, minna." Dohnaseek made a slight tilt on his hat. " We are not that stupid to not realize that we can die from this encounter. Especially when the Devil from the Gremory Househould is here."
" Erin-san! Issei-san!" shouted Asia with teary eyes.
"ASIA!" The two attempted to chase the group but was stopped by the ORC members.
Kiba stopped Issei who was in a rage same as Erin who was blocked by Rias.
" LET ME GO, RIAS!"
" NO! You're being impulsive right now!" Rias spoke in an equal tone as she tried hard to contain the Goddess.
*(Punch)*
Issei managed to catch Kiba off-guard but the Knight only stumbled for a few seconds before he successfully restrained the teen; putting him in a lockhold and sending him to the ground.
" STOP IT! THEY'RE TAKING ASIA AWAY!" thrashed Issei.
" If you won't release me in an instant then I swear, you'll regret it Rias." Said Erin who was now in a rage mode.
" I don't care! It's better than letting you die!" Replied Rias in exasperation as she hugged the Goddess tighter. *(This made me cringe while writing this line. Seriously 😂)*
Asia's screams were the last thing the group heard before the enemies completely disappeared. Rias and Kiba released the two afterwards and Erissei immediately fell to despair.
They had one thought in mind and that is to save Asia. The promise to protect her no matter what happens.
