*(FLASH)*
Erin is now clad in a dark blue armor. The jewels are red in color and the wings are similar to the Vanishing Dragon. Lightning sparks surrounded the armor which acts as a protector to keep enemies at a good distance.
"Impossible.. I didn't imagine that you already reached Balance Breaker. It has only been 2 days since the last time we met." Vali uttered.
" I trained to advance my gear unlike the usual phenomena where the user has to be in deep rage or has a deep surge of emotions." Erin replied seriously. " You can say that I activated my gear on my own will and through careful planning."
" So this is what Erin has been doing for the past days." Rias was mildy shocked.
" Interesting, it is truly interesting." Azazel said in amusement and cupped his chin." The Midnight Dragon is rarely activated and we are lucky that we are able to see the gear in this form."
" Erin was able to advance the gear on her own will?" Kiba uttered in surprise. "That is impressive."
"Moreover, the Ultimate Accesion gear has the properties of both the Vanishing Dragon and Boosted Gear. This will be an awesome fight." said Azazel who was now eager to witness them clash.
" If Vali is the strongest White Emperor, then Erin has the shot of being the Strongest User and Dragon host in the entire history we could have known."
"Vali, I'm giving you a chance..." Erin flew to face him. "Will you fight or flight?"
" I will fight you!"
"[ DIVIDE! ]"
*(WHOOSH)*
" Tsk." Vali turned around as the Goddess avoided his attacks.
" You have to be a lot faster than that, Vali." smirked Erin. "Remember, my dragon is not called the Mighty Dragon of Speed for nothing."
The boy was slightly pissed as he doubled his speed to chase the Goddess. Erin still held a good distance and when Vali attempted to hold her arm, he stopped in mid-air due to electric shock.
" Unbelievable. We can't even touch her?"
"[One of the notable features of her gear is the lightning sparks surrounding it which acts as a first degree shield and defense mechanism. You can still approach her but you will undeniably suffer from an electric shock.]"
" Tsk. This means we have to subdue her from afar or risk suffering an amount of pain from the close contact." Vali narrowed his eyes."
"{ BOOST!}"
"This actually feels exciting." Erin commented as the jewel on her arm glowed. She dashed to Vali and the boy prepared his counter-attack.
"[DIVIDE!]"
" You may decrease my power but the results are still the same."
"{ Lightning Blast!}"
*(BOOM!)*
"Urk." Vali got electrocuted and fell to the ground. He immediately got up and flew back, not minding the pain.
"Hmm. You got a fighting spirit there."
" If I'm gonna fall then I might as well take you with me."
*(Grab)*
*(Punch!)*
" Erin!" The group called out in worry after Vali delivered a blow to the Goddess.
"Wow. That one was strong." Erin winced slightly and flew back to the air.
" Nice Vali. I might as well return the pleasure."
She raised her hand and a magic ball began forming. Vali grew cautious and assumed a defensive stance.
"[Watch out for that one! That is one of Voltaire's flash attacks and the lightning would obliterate anything it touches.]"
*( Lightning Cackle)*
"{BOOST!}"
The lightning ball increased in size and Erin released it after accumulating enough power.
" {FLASH VOLTAGE!}"
*(BAM!)*
Vali avoided the attack but he was shock to see the ball split up into lightning bolts, chasing him in great speed.
"Chase and {Destroy}" spoke the two in unison as they witnessed Vali desperately trying to evade the attack.
"Are we seriously going to get chased relentlessly by these bolts?" Vali hissed in annoyance and disbelief.
*(Whoosh!)*
" [That's the thing. They won't stop until they inflicted damage at the slightest degree.] "
" Don't joke with me." Vali released a wave attack in retaliation causing some of the lightning bolts to get swayed.
*(BOOM!)*
" Kyahh!"
" Is everyone okay?" Sirzechs asked as they formed a shield among the group."
" Hai, Sirzechs-sama."
"{EXPLOSION!}"
The attack blasted Vali away and Erin chased after him, delivering another attack.
"{DIVIDE!}"
"And Punch!"
" Argh!"
*(BOOGSH)*
Erin transformed out of her armor and approached Vali who fell down on the ground. The boy's armor disappeared and he was writhing from the impact he suffered.
"Still up?" The Goddess asked as she looked down. Vali's response was to stand up shakily and transform back into his armor.
" What a nuisance." Erin sighed. "Hey, listen-
*(BLAST!)*
The Goddess was quick to make a tumble and dodge the attack.
"You're starting to piss me off. Don't you have any dignity, attacking a defenseless enemy?" glared Erin.
" All is fair in war."
"You know, I already gave you what you want. Now it's time to do what I wanted and heed the request of others."
She transformed back into her armor and dashed at the boy. The 2 were in high speeds, delivering powerful blows and attacks. White and blue light clashed repeatedly at each other.
"{ FLASH VOLTAGE!} "
*(ZAP!)*
" AHH!"
Vali's armor surrounding his head broke off and he was sent to the ground.
" I'm done fighting with you" Erin approached him. "I already fulfilled your request for a fight."
Her Geass glowed and she grabbed Vali's face to make eye contact.
"So I shall have my peace now. Someone is better off fighting you." Erin gave out her command. " Kneel down and don't move unless I say so."
" What are you-
*(Flash)*
" Urk." Vali closed his eyes as he felt his body respond to the order.
"What did.. you do?" Vali gritted out as the geass flickered in his eyes.
"Impressive. He really has a strong will trying to fight the effects of my Geass."
The others were shocked to witness the scene especially how Vali was forced to submit.
"Masaka.. what type of magic did she do?" Sona and Tsubaki thought.
" That couldn't be a Sacred Gear... or a known ability of the Midnight Dragon" Azazel was in deep thought, trying to analyze the discovery.
" Is this how Erin-san manipulated those magicians earlier?" Xenovia voiced out.
" So this is what Erin meant when she said that she can just force Vali to accept defeat." Kiba spoke in amazement.
The Goddess approached Issei who was still unconscious. She then transformed into her armor and kicked him with force.
"Wake up, baka!"
The shot of electricty forced Issei awake.
"Wha- What happened?"
"{ Had a good nap, Ddraig?}" Voltaire teased and the Welsh Dragon sighed.
" [Quite the contrary. I felt like I couldn't sleep after witnessing my host pass out.]"
"E-Erin, is that you?" Issei uttered in surprise. " You already activated your Balance Breaker?"
" Surprise." Erin smiled mischievously. " And don't step too close to me- "
*(Zap)*
" Aw! Your armor is dangerous!" Issei whined from the shock making Erin sigh from his actions.
"You really made a daring move trying to copy Albion's power."
" Yeah that's- Wait I still have to fight Vali!" He looked frantically and gaped when he saw Vali kneeling down on the ground, head hung low.
" What happened to him?!"
" He requested for a fight and I gave it to him." Erin boredly said and summoned her power.
"{BOOST!}"
" Wow, it really has the same power as my gear." Issei's attention turned back at Vali. " But why is that fucker kneeling down on the ground?"
" Because I said so."
" NANI?!" Issei was both surprised and shocked. The Goddess concentrated Boosting for a couple more times.
"He's waiting to fight you."
Issei was still confused but didn't have time to process when Erin transferred a great amount of power to him.
" { TRANSFER!} "
"There, that should help you complete your crazy move earlier."
"[Vanishing Dragon: Power is taken!]"
The gear completely assimilated Albion's power and Issei gazed at his Dividing Gear in awe.
" Sugoi. With this, I can beat that bastard using his power against him."
"[ Voltaire, what are your reasons for doing this?] " The booming voice of Albion caused the two to look at Vali's direction.
"{ Reasons for doing what?}"
" [ You are siding with your other Rival!"] roared Albion.
"[ You lend some power to him when you could have used it to fight the two of us!]"
"Oh don't be jealous." Erin rolled her eyes. " We fought you already and what's the difference of lending our power to the Welsh Dragon? If it doubles, then it's like you are fighting two enemies."
"{ It is what my host said. Moreover, we don't want to engage in such fights any longer. We already fulfilled your host's request and it is time we listen to ours and give the chance of fighting you to the other host.}"
" Don't worry. We'll use our powers to act as a good referree between your match." said Erin with a fake smile.
" Are you ready, Issei?"
" Hai. I'm so ready to beat him. I won't let the power you gave me go to waste." replied Issei in determination and raised his fist.
"Then, on your marks. And stand the fudge up, Vali." Erin ordered as Vali was able to move again. He glared at the Goddess afterwards.
" I'll destroy you both." spoke Vali in gritted teeth.
"Now now. Save that energy for later." Erin placed a hand on Issei's shoulder. "Go and beat him like you planned."
" HAI!"
"[BOOST!]"
" I'm gonna give you a taste on what you've been doing! DIVIDING GEAR!"
*(Flash)*
*(BOOM)*
"Erin-senpai!" Gasper immediately hugged the Goddess when she joined the group on the sidelines.
"You did a great job, Erin."
" You already owe me twice in a row, Sirzechs." Erin replied with squinted eyes causing the Maou to chuckle.
" Well, will you be okay of accepting payment in the form of my sister?"
" O-Onii-sama!" Rias protested with a blush.
" Nah. Forget it." replied Erin and Rias' glare was directed at her.
"Oho, that was really an interesting move, Erin-chi. What do you call that one? Did you use mind control magic or some sort of hypnosis?" Azazel asked with interest.
" Nope. It's far from that. I can show you if you want but for a later time." Erin shrugged and Azazel was delighted. " But you really have to do something about that arm."
" It'll be okay. I can fix this within a day."
" Wow. I don't know if I should be impressed with your carefree attitude or brand you as a reckless idiot."
Azazel laughed at this and replied.
" You can just choose both."
" Since I'm uncomfortable with watching you in that state, I'll just help you in customizing your arm replacement if ever you wanted some suggestions."
" Oh? And how would that work?" Azazel asked curiously.
Erin summoned her weaponized arm and the Fallen was mildly surprised.
" Hah! You've officially become my favorite person, Erin-chi. I'll hit you up on that offer. You better not ditch me." he added with a grin.
" Yeah yeah."
She was suddenly pulled away from the man by another devil king clinging excitedly on her arm.
" Hello! I'm Serafall Leviathan, the current Leviathan. I'm also a magical girl, Nice to meet you ~ " She posed cutely.
"Onee-sama.."
"A pleasure to meet you, Miss Serafall." replied Erin as she made a bow.
" Kyahh! So-tan she's so dreamy! You should probably date her already!"
Sona could feel her growing embarrassment and Erin only chuckled at Serafall's words.
" It's an honor to hear such words from a Devil king, more so, from a cute magical girl."
Serafall's eyes widened at this and she rushed to Sona in an instant.
" You hear that Sona? That's the sign. Marry her already!"
" Onee-sama stop being embarrassing!"
Erin left the two in their own banter and she was met by Xenovia, Irina, and Kiba.
" Miss Knight! Good to see you again! Your fight was awesome." Irina said with star-filled eyes.
"Were you training before you got here, Erin-san?" asked Xenovia as she noticed her attire.
" Yep. It's a good thing that I completed my Balance Breaker at the last minute."
" Yeah- You look ho- I mean, sweaty- Ah! I mean very exercise-y heheh." Irina fumbled over words causing Kiba to chuckle.
"Oh Good Lord, what are these impure thoughts of mine? Am I losing my faith?"
" It's good that you two are now getting along." commented Erin which caused Xenovia and Irina to look at each other.
" Hai. I already learned the truth from Michael-sama and I was wrong to judge Xenovia."
" We already regained our friendship."
" That's good to hear."
" Erin-chan." The Goddess turned to the voice and saw Akeno waving at her.
" I'll excuse myself."
She approached back the group and the raven head hugged her with force.
" Ara, you did great back there. Fufu."
" Ah-Eh.. Thank you, senpai."
Rias cleared her throat and Akeno stepped away from the Goddess.
"Why didn't you defeat Vali and let Issei fight him instead?"
" I'm not really interested in fighting him. I just obliged with his request earlier."
"{ Yes. It's better if we act as a mediator of the two.}"
*(BOOM!)*
*(CRASH)*
Vali made a stance and summoned a great amount of power.
"[ HALF DIMENSION!]"
The surroundings suddenly shifted as if it would be warped and shrink in size.
"W-What's happening now?"
" Vali is warping the dimensions. It's a very dangerous action." Michael said in an alarmed tone.
" Heh. Aren't you going to do anything, Erin-chi?"
Erin just looked at the scene passively and waved the question off.
" Issei could handle it if he gets some sort of power boost. You know how to motivate him, Azazel."
" Well you're right. Leave it to me." smirked the man in reply.
" Hey, Red Emperor!"
" What do you want?"
" You know that Vali has the power to divide things, right? I just want to inform you that it applies to boobs as well. With the move he is displaying, he'll shrink the size of all the girls here in an instant."
*(DOOM)*
" He can.... shrink boobs?" Issei was crestfallen at the thought.
"No way.. then I can no longer gaze at Buchou and Akeno-senpai's oppai. And Asia and the other cute girls' package would be nonexistent?"
" Unbelievable.. This is unacceptable."
*(FLASH!)*
" I WON'T LET YOU DO SUCH ACT! YOU CRUEL MONSTER!"
"[ BOOST!]"
A burning light erupted from Issei and his power soared to great heights.
" AS IF I WOULD LET YOU SHRINK THE BOOBS OF THE GIRLS HERE!"
"[ BOOST!]"
" Wait- What?" Vali uttered in confusion.
" TAKE THIS, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"
*(Punch!)*
" ACK!" Vali suffered a strong impact on his abdomen.
Azazel laughed at the progress and at Issei's sudden increase of power.
" As expected of a pervert. That's the only thing that would motivate him." Koneko deadpanned.
"I-Issei-san." Asia was mildly shocked.
" THIS IS FOR ATTEMPTING TO SHRINK BUCHOU AND AKENO SENPAI'S BOOBS!"
*(PUNCH!)*
"Oof"
"THIS IS FOR ALL THE CUTE GIRLS YOU MIGHT ATTACK!"
*(Kaboom!)*
The armor covering Vali's head broke off causing him to widen his eyes.
*(Lands)*
" No way.. He's still standing?" Rias exclaimed in disbelief and amazement.
"Impressive. That is truly a great amount of power you showcased. Guess I have to fight seriously now." Vali smirked and Albion quickly interjected.
"[ Vali, it's best if you don't - ]"
" I, who am about to awaken,
Erin narrowed her eyes at this, sensing what he is about to do.
"{ If Albion's host would proceed with transforming then this will really become a blood bath.}"
" Am the Heavenly Dragon who has taken the-
*(Flash)*
*(Zap!)*
Vali's chant was interrupted after nearly getting hit by the lightning bolt.
" I suggest that you stop right now, Vali." Erin coldly said. " Unless you really want to die at the moment."
She was met by the boy's amused smirk.
" Oh, that'll be fine by me. Shall we proceed for another round?"
"Yahoo!"
A boy with red armor dropped from above as he used his staff to land.
" There you are, Vali. We are finally going to fight with the Earth Gods so I was sent to find you and bring you back."
" So it's probably time for that, huh?"
" Who the heck are you?" Issei asked loudly.
" That's Bikou. A descendant of the victorious fighting Buddha." replied Azazel who approached the group.
"Oh? You must be related to that trickster monkey from the legends." Erin commented as he sensed Bikou having a half blood.
The boy snapped his eyes at the Goddess and was mildly shocked.
" Well Damn. Who's this cute girl we have here? Maybe we could recruit her if she has any Sacred Gears."
Azazel scoffed in amusement while Erin only shook her head.
" What?"
" That girl indeed has a Sacred Gear." Vali replied. "And she's one of my rivals."
" No way.." Bikou widened his eyes. " This cute girl is that powerful?"
" I never imagined that you'll be part of Khaos Brigade. Has hell frozen over?" Azazel interjected.
" I must say though, you and the White emperor look good together." Erin remarked in amusement which earned a laugh from the monkey boy.
"Well, charm and beauty runs in my family so I look good with just about anybody. And by anybody, that includes you." winked Bikou to the Goddess.
" I'll be looking forward to the next time we meet and hopefully, you'll be by my side at that time." Bikou rotated his staff and stomped it to the ground.
"Till then, Issei Hyoudou. I hope you train to increase your strength so you could give me a satisfying fight next time." Vali glanced at the Goddess.
" And hopefully, you would regard our fight seriously too."
*(FLASH)*
" Hey! Get back here- Woah"
Issei's armor vanished making him lose his balance and fall to the ground.
