Chapter Text

"I never imagined that my life would turn out like this," A young man said as he looked at the mirror to see himself and think many things over.

He was in his late teens, 17 to be precise, with spiky blue hair, while his eyes were green. He wore a white shirt and black shorts. This is Sonic the Hedgehog, now Hedgehuman or Issei Hyoudou; it's hard to tell now, but let's go back briefly to explain a few things.

It started when Issei was murdered by his date, the Fallen Angel named Raynare, and was left to die in the park. He would have died, but that was put on hold thanks to a soul entering his body and having a new person take over. The soul belongs to Sonic The Hedgehog, the Hero of the Multiverse.

Sonic had prevented Eggman's Super Genesis Wave from resetting all of reality, where Eggman ruled the multiverse as a Supreme God. It nearly killed the Blue Blur as his body was destroyed, but not his soul and spirit; because of that, Sonic's world changed and turned into a whole new world. He needed to find out how new Mobius was. He was sent to a new world where the supernatural existed, and none of his friends existed; his soul exited out of the void and entered a new person, who was at death's door, which is in full circle now. He had joined the body of Issei, and how shameful this and death would come, but the Knight of the Wind didn't give up and wanted to live. A wish that someone was more than willing to grant.

Sonic couldn't remember who but was thankful for the person who saved him and felt some great power within him that mixed with his powers. The only thing that he saw was the long, beautiful red crimson hair of his savior, and he could guess that the person was a woman around his age. He will have to thank her when and if he sees her again.

Flashback

'To think everything was going so well.' Those were the last thoughts of Issei Hyoudou, and he bled to death on the park floor. He had been on his date with his first girlfriend ever. He couldn't recall when he had been happier than with the girl who had asked him out. It had been that same girl who turned out to be some evil angel and stabbed him through the chest with a spear made out of pink light. The light in his eyes faded as he wished he could have seen a beautiful girl one last time.

Inside Issei's mind

"So this is the end for him, huh." A massive dragon said as he watched his host die at the hands of his girlfriend. "To think that the fallen angels would have targeted him. I guess they're just that scared of me, hehe." The dragon said to himself as he prepared for what would happen now that his host had passed away to the afterlife. It was then that he felt another presence within his host along with him. Looking up, he saw a teen with spiky blue hair and the greenest eyes he had ever seen. His skin was peach. "Oh? Who are you, and what are you doing in here?" The dragon asked.

"Me?"The newcomer asked as he pointed at himself before he smirked. "Name's Sonic the Hedgehog. I guess you can say I'm a soul waiting to be lucky to be given a second chance at life." Sonic said, smiling at the dragon. "I'm not sure how or why, but I think I was brought here to save the world," Sonic told the red dragon, who narrowed his eyes on him.

"And how will you do that? As you may have noticed, the kid is dead. His body hasn't shut down completely, but his soul has passed on." The dragon told Sonic, who frowned at the news.

"I know," Sonic said as his body began to glow an ethereal white. "I think that's why I'm here so that I can take this body as my own," Sonic admitted to the dragon. He hated that it had to be this way, but it was the only way for him to return to the world of the living. "Does that offend you?" Sonic asked the dragon.

"Not at all. It's a pity that the boy had to die, but that is how life goes. I guess I will have to stay here for a while longer." The dragon said. He had some hope for his host until his untimely death, but he had other hosts before, and they had perished all the same.

"Hey, so what was the kid's dream in life? I wouldn't feel right taking his body without knowing that." Sonic asked the massive dragon. While he couldn't guarantee anything, he wanted to at least attempt to accomplish one of the dreams of the person whose body he would be reincarnated into.

"He wanted a harem of large-breasted women."

The two beings stared at one another in a moment of silence. Sonic couldn't help but sweatdrop at the outlandish goal that Issei had for himself. Sonic shook his head, "Since we may be together for a while, will you help me and lend me your power?' Sonic asked the dragon.

"Lend? I am sealed within a Sacred Gear. You could take my power if you wanted, so why ask?" The dragon asked the blue blur, who smiled kindly at the dragon. He had no issue with the blue blur using his power as long as he could handle it properly. He never had a host that had directly asked him for permission to use the power of the Boosted Gear.

"I don't want to treat you as my prisoner or enslaved person. Sacred gear or not, it's wrong to use someone else's power who has their freedom stripped away from them."Sonic explained to the dragon, who nodded, understanding the Knight of the Wind's viewpoint. "What's your name, by the way?" Sonic asked the beast sealed within the Sacred Gear that now belonged to him.

"I am the Welsh Dragon Ddraig. And I guess it would be beneficial to work together with you. I had planned to work together with Issei before he passed, but I guess since you're here now, I'll work with you. After all, if what you say is true and something is coming, then I don't want to miss it now, do I?" Ddraig said to Sonic, whose smile widened. With that, a bond was formed between the two beings.

"I look forward to it, Ddraig. Now let's show this world What We're Made Of." Sonic said as he vanished in a flash of light.

Flashback Over

Ever since that day, Sonic started to train every day with Ddraig so he could become stronger when he faces opponents in the future while he searches for the Chaos Emeralds and Master Emerald in this world.

Sonic could still feel and sense his powers within him, but it was different, and he felt more powerful than before because of the Super Genesis Wave Energy that was absorbed not only in his body but also in his mind and soul. But he felt weak because of the body he had. He could guess that the swap and the combination of two beings have upsides and downsides.

There were some upsides and downsides to the situation he was in.

The upsides are that he can remember who he is from his past life and, yes, the pervert's life as well that he is ashamed of, along with gaining a new look if Sonic were to be a human, most likely due to Sonic being the stronger of the two. Along with that, he could see from these memories that Issei had a good life with his parents and some friends, especially one from childhood with whom he had a lot of fun, causing a smile to form on the Hero's face. He also knows about this world and has enough knowledge to where Sonic won't have to worry about things he didn't understand. That will be bad, and now the downsides.

The downside is that Sonic can't use his full power due to his new body being weak. He must build himself up again after discovering why his body feels different. Sonic was the only survivor from his world to come to this world. He had to rewrite Issei's parent's memories at school with his chaotic energy that Issei died from a car crash weeks ago. Most of the students at school mourned his death, while some felt pity he died early while the others, mainly the females, were glad that the pervert got what he deserved. Sonic winced at what he had done, and he attended a funeral for Issei.

While he was living in his new home, he had to fight against multiple devils who tried to kidnap him and tried to force him into their peerages due to them being greedy for his power. Sonic simply killed them all by himself, not wanting his freedom to be taken away. He fought against stray devils and protected the innocent humans ignorant of the supernatural from the shadows.

Sonic had to hack into the system and create a file under the alias Nikki Kaosu. He was lucky that he was able to make jewelry with his chaos energy to gain at least $50,000 to get a house for himself. Also, he must be careful around the students as one mistake could bring trouble to the people at school, which is another big problem; he must go to school again as a new student.

Oh boy, here we go again.

This is going to be interesting.

Time Skip

Sonic was right and lucky to avoid odd questions from the other students on his first day of school. He had to deal with girls staring at him with lust in their eyes. They had asked some odd questions, and they got simple, quick answers, as Sonic wanted to avoid dealing with them. It was bad enough he had to deal with fangirls in his old world, but here, no, he did not want to be clawed by them. He became friends with Aika Kiryuu, Kiyome Abe, Murayama, Katase, Yumi Kiba, and Koneko. He would often beat up the perverts that peeped on the girls while they were changing. Sonic became popular with the girls when they heard him beating up the perverts, earning him "The Blue Knight of Kuoh." Sonic was lucky that Dr.Kintobor, Eggman, before he turned into Robotnik, UncleChuck taught him advanced and AP classes when he was young thanks to his speed, helping his brain process information faster than an ordinary human. He was able to get straight A+ effortlessly. Sonic also made manga based on adventures that he had in the past. ( AN:  Most of the Manga he makes are based on the Games, Movies, TV Shows, Cartoons, and Comics. My Sonic is a mix of all the Sonic Media they all know exists.) This got him a ton of money to pay for his house, food, furniture, mortgage, and bills.

Sonic was now running down the street as it was late at night and decided to get some training in, as this pervert's body was WEAK AS HELL! He could hear Shadow, Knuckles, Eggman, Scourge, his friends, and enemies laughing at him if they were to see him in the situation he was in.

However, to Sonic's surprise, he recently discovered on the day after Issei did, he had all the weapons he got from his old world in his personal pocket dimension ring ( AN:  it's a ring where you can store things, an invention Tails made. Not canon though in real life), came with him such as the hammer Amy gave him,( AN:  Sonic Battle, the Wispons, his enerbeam, Chips Bracelet, Sharah's Ring, a pair of Ring Blades, that Sally had given him, and Mech Suit, so that's excellent news; and he has power-ups from his and Mario's world as well. He had a long way in training due to the new changes with his new body and still wondered who saved him from death. He must thank the person who saved him and get some answers.

However, Sonic's thinking stopped as he spotted a man wearing a trench coat with a black fedora on his head; this person was giving off some bad vibes to him.

"Well, what do we have here? A Stray wondering by itself," The fedora man said.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Sonic asked, annoyed.

"My name is Dohnaseek, but it won't matter since you're going to die anyway," The fedora guy, or now Dohnaseek, said before making a light spear and releasing his black wings before charging at Sonic.

Sonic dodged Dohnaseek and used a high-speed kick that unleashed shockwaves at him. He kicked the crow towards a tree, and the said tree broke on impact with the man.

"Hmm…not bad for a stray," Dohnaseek groaned before noticing Sonic breathing heavily and charged at his target again with his light spear raised in the air.

Sonic mentally cursed his luck.

Issei, that damn perverted retarded shit, never trained in his LIFE as he only thought of breasts, asses, and harems. God, the pervert will die instantly if he faces Sonic's enemies.

Sonic needed to end this quickly as he was almost out of breath. He waited for the fool to come closer. When Dohnaseek did and went for a downward slash, Sonic made his move and activated his Ring Blades. Dohnaseek felt his light spear being blocked by something.

Dohnaseek saw a pair of blades, but they weren't any ordinary blades as these blades glowed blue as a Light Sword.

"That's impossible!" Dohnaseek shouted in disbelief.

"Sorry, pal! But it is!" Sonic said with a smile.

Sonic knocked Dohnaseek's light spear away and slashed diagonally, shredding the man's trench coat and removing some flesh. The Fallen Angel screamed in pain at being cut.

Sonic wasn't done as he delivered a left hook, knocking out some teeth.

Dohnaseek glared at Sonic but knew he couldn't fight him as he had taken too much damage. He will make sure that the little brat pays for this.

"You'll regret this, you little rat."

With that said, Dohnaseek flew off in the night sky and left the area.

Sonic sighed at this and put his blades away before sitting down to catch his breath.

"That was close," Sonic grasped and took some deep breaths for air before shouting, "I'm a Hedgehog, not a rat! Why do villains keep on calling me that!" he groaned in frustration.

Sonic right back up and went straight home, as he had school tomorrow. What Sonic didn't know or notice was that a small, petite girl with white hair was watching the events that took place. The girl returned to report to her master and what her newest peerage member had done.

ORC Building

"I see," Rias muttered as she recently got out of the shower she was taking. Rias, Sona, along with the rest of their peers noticed there was something odd about Issei's death. One, they heard Issei suddenly died on the day Rias resurrected Issei with her eight Evil Pieces. Two, a new student showed up the day after Issei died. Third, the new student had a powerful magical energy signature with bits of Issei's energy signature and her eight evil pieces. Four, multiple devils were being killed by someone with a sword.

"Seems like you have an interesting member in your peerage, Rias," Sona commented as she played chess with Tsubaki, Sona's Queen of her Peerage. "Swords that he can summon from his own? He must have a unique sacred gear." Tsubaki hummed, moving her piece.

"Mmmm... Nikki being able to take down a fallen angel effortlessly is so exciting~" Akeno Himejima, Rias Queen of her peerage, sighed excitedly.

"I don't think it's sacred gear," Koneko said, Ria's Rook of her peerage, getting everyone's attention. "Are they Holy Swords?" Rias asked carefully, not wanting to anger Yumi Kiba, her Knight of her peerage.

The said girl has bluish-gray eyes and long blonde hair that reaches down toward her plump, bubbly rear, as her breasts are close to the same size as Rias's. She was wearing the female Kuoh uniform that all females wear, but she was wearing black high-thigh stockings with black garter straps connecting to them from the inside of her skirt. This girl is Yumi Kiba, and she goes by the title of "Princess Knight" in the school. She looked at Koneko seriously, wondering if the sword was an Excalibur fragment.

"No, but I felt powerful magic coming from it," Koneko said before munching her snacks, making Yumi lessen her glare.

"Do you think he's a threat?" Sona asked seriously.

"A potential threat, yes, but for now, he isn't an enemy to us," Rias said confidently. Rias then had a severe look on her face. "Yumi," Rias said thoughtfully, "Yes, President?" Yumi asked, standing straight.

"When school ends tomorrow, I want you to get Nikki and bring him here," Rias said firmly, knowing she needed Nikki's help to get out of the contract with Riser. "Yes, ma'am," Yumi nodded.

Next Day

Morning came. Sonic was back at Kuoh Academy, and it was the same as always, but he pulled through. When school ended, he was about to leave, but he stopped and noticed a Yumi walking towards him.

"Nikki Kaosu," Yumi asked.

Sonic decided to play along and said, "Yeah, Yumi?"

Yumi gave Sonic a beautiful smile and said, "President Rias wants to meet you."

Sonic shook his head and said, "Sorry, Yumi, I can't. I'm busy right now. I have to do something important."

"It's only a couple minutes, Nikki," Yumi reassured him.

The reason Sonic couldn't go with Yumi is because he needed to find the Chaos Emeralds and Master Emerald of his world so he could fix the multiverse back to the way they were. He was able to feel their power from Chip's Bracelet, but finding them was more challenging than it seemed due to the magic that is enveloped in this world.

He got up from his desk to go with her. He left the room with the other students, thinking about what happened. The males were shocked Sonic rejected going to see Rias Gremory of the Two Great Ladies of Kuoh at first. As the two walked side by side, Sonic noticed that everyone was looking at him and Yumi, but he also saw the boys staring at Yumi's ass and her swaying hips. This made him glare at them, making them back away in fear. They could have sworn they saw a dark version of him; he liked the female body, but at least he wasn't open about it and knew how to control his impulses. He kicked, or hit, the shit out of the Pervert Duo and the other perverts with the Kendo Sticks, which earns excellent respect from girls at the school, mostly Koneko, who would often join Sonic in beating them up. That was fun, but moving on.

ORC Building

The clubhouse was a three-story building, with the third story serving as a clock tower. It has been painted white with a black roof with vines creeping up to the second story. Sonic and Nikki entered the building. The interior of the building is a wood-paneled room with Victorian-style couches and chairs along the walls. One side is set up to be used as a bath, and a large Gremory Family magic circle is also there to allow teleportation to and from clients.

Sonic saw Rias Gremory, Akeno Himejima, Koneko Toujou, Souna Shitori, Tsubaki Shinra, and the rest of the Student Council there as well. Most of the Student Council, except Tsubaki, blushed when they saw him.

Sonic was starstruck by the gorgeous seductress he laid eyes on, a full-blown blush on his cheeks as he gazed at the goddess many leagues above every other woman he had ever met in beauty.

The first thing to have caught his eyes was her hair, a thick curtain of vibrant red spilling down to her meaty upper thighs. ivory skin bringing out the turquoise eyes hidden underneath a messy fringe of crimson silk ending just above her cute button nose.

High cheekbones helped compliment a razor-sharp jawline, all that drew attention to her bewitchingly pouty lips that he felt compelled to kiss.

The crimson-haired beauty possessed a very voluptuous body with huge gravity-defying breasts and a small waist flaring out to very wide and sinfully thick hips.

He could definitely see males getting knocked unconscious if he glanced at this woman, not that he could blame his master considering the woman's otherworldly beauty.

Sonic almost blushed again as he gazed at yet another goddess-like woman, one who was definitely in the same league as Rias.

The gorgeous woman possessed long, straight silky tresses of blackish purple hair tied into a ponytail that reached all the way down to her thighs, the stray strands of glossy black locks not caught by her orange ribbon, framed her angelic yet oddly enough sultry face.

A weird but also perfectly pleasing combination that did wonders for Sonic's heart as he admired the women before him.

Looking down, Sonic barely managed to suppress a nosebleed as he caught sight of her enormous tits, no doubt at least a match for Tsunade! Sonic could only imagine how large it would be after a couple of years.

Glancing down even further, Sonic saw a thin waist that then exploded to wide and very womanly hips. The shinobi had no doubt in mind that this sensual bombshell attracted the admiration of many, many men and the ire of many, many women.

Gazing back up to her face, he took notice of a demure button nose that twitched playfully above a set of full and luscious pink lips, framed by high cheekbones and a sharp jawline, tearing his eyes away from her soft kissable lips, Sonic looked into a set of mischievous violet orbs that conveyed amusement, no doubt very aware that the bluenette was giving her a once over.

Not that Akeno could blame him considering she took her time appreciating this young man's dashing and attractive features when he was unconscious, sue her for ogling this hot hunk!

The next person to have caught his attention was a young petite girl with shoulder-length white hair, a cat hair clip that pulled back her bangs to reveal hazel cat-like eyes, her height reaching up to the lower side of his chest, effectively marking her as the shortest one he met here so far.

"President, I brought him over as you asked," Yumi said as she walked beside her King. "Thank You, Yumi," Rias said warmly to Yumi before looking at Sonic and smiling at him.

"Nikki Kaosu, it's a pleasure to meet you at last finally," Rias said sweetly. "Please have a seat," she said.

'No thanks, I prefer standing," Sonic said, crossing his arms as he had a skeptical look, feeling something strange about the place he was in.

"Very well, Sona and I have some questions that want to be answered," Rias said. "Ask," Sonic said, ready to fight them if he had, as he could tell that lying to them was useless.

"Alright, who are you really, and why do I sense bits of Issei Hyoudou's life force on you?" Rias asked seriously, wondering why she felt her eight evil pieces were with Nikki and not Issei.

Sonic took a deep breath and said, "The reason you can sense bits of Issei within me is that my real name is Sonic the Hedgehog, and I've swapped places with Issei Hyoudou as his soul died and went to the afterlife, and now, I take his place."

The Devils in the room were floored at this. Mostly, Rias was shocked that the person right in front of her was claiming to be the person from her now-new favorite manga.

"And how can we tell that you're telling the truth?" Sona asked, which made sense, given this was quite the bombshell, and the Hero had an idea to show his proof.

Sonic closed his eyes and made his hair take on the form of six large hedgehog quills, two hedgehog ears, two spines, and his tail appear on his body. This caused all of the devils to look at him in shock. Rias was close to squealing with excitement that her Hero was real and right before her.

Sonic then smirked at the devil's reaction. Sonic then ran around the room at super speed, leaving behind a blue streak and a trail of blue lightning. He only ran for a few seconds due to his new body and still needed more training.

Sonic did a dramatic flip landing perfectly. He made a dramatic bow. Rias had stars on her eyes as she saw that her favorite Hero was real!

"Very well," Rias said as she composed herself immediately. She lowered her cup and deeply breathed, "Tell me, Sonic, do you know about the supernatural?"

The Hero raised his brow, "I know a lot; why are you asking?"

"The truth is... we are Devils," she said casually.

Sonic looked into everyone's eyes and found no sign of lies. Rias could tell he believed them. One by one, two black bat-like wings appeared behind their backs. Sonic kept his surprise in check, having dealt with many things in his past.

"The Occult Studies Club and Student Council is only facade to blend among the humans. In ancient times, we devils have been at war with fallen angels and angels who have been to eliminate us. In the end, all sides lost their main forces, and they entered a cease-fire age that lasts to this day. To replenish our forces, we used a system called Evil Pieces, based on chess, to revive humans or demons as devils. Evil Pieces are commonly given to High-Class Pure-Blooded devils."

"Evil Pieces?" Sonic asked, alarmed that he'd turn evil. "You won't turn evil. I don't know why they're called that." Rias reassured Sonic, making him sigh in relief.

Catching his interest, Sonic analyzed the group briefly, "I can guess that everyone, except you and Sona, is a reincarnated devil?"

"You are correct, Sonic" Sona nodded.

When Nikki or Sonic came to Kuoh, she secretly hoped to get Sonic into her peerage because she knew Rias wanted him to be in hers. Sona wanted him in her peerage because he had proven himself. Sonic proved to be a highly intellectual person; he values people's lives and helps people when they need help, something she respects, and he was a worthy rival when he was able to gain good grades with no fail. He is the only one who can threaten her spot of being the number one and most intelligent student in Kuoh. Many people thought she would be enraged, but she grew more interested in him and decided to recruit him.

"Allow us to introduce ourselves truly. I am Rias Gremory, heiress to the House of Gremory."

"I'm Sona Sitri, heiress to the House of Sitri."

"Sitri... Shitori... Really?" Sonic deadpanned Sona's logic for changing her last name.

"Akeno Himejima, Queen of Rias Gremory," Said Akeno, winking at Sonic, licking her lips at him.

"I'm Yumi Kiba, Knight of Rias Gremory," said Yumi, smiling at him.

Next to her was Koneko, "...Koneko Toujou, Rook of Rias Gremory," she said, nodding at him with respect due to the fact he beat up perverts for peeping on girls at Kuoh.

"Tsubaki Shinra, Sona's Queen," Tsubaki said.

"Hello, my name is Momo Hanakai, Sona's Bishop," said a girl with snow-white hair with blue-green eyes.

Alongside her was a long brown-haired girl with brown eyes who bowed respectfully, "Reya Kusaka, Bishop of Sona's. Please to meet you all."

Next came a girl with shoulder-length, reddish brown hair and brown eyes, "The name is Tomoe Meguri, Sona's Knight."

Lastly, next to her was a girl with shoulder-length blue hair and dark blue eyes, "Tsubasa Yura, Rook of Sona's, nice to meet you."

"Greetings, I'm Sona's Pawn, Ruruko Nimura," replied a girl with brown hair and green eyes.

Sonic still has his arms crossed as he ponders what he heard. Devils, angels, demons, etc., were real after he was brought back to life in Issei's body. It would be difficult to swallow, but he and his friends were from another world, so it wasn't hard to believe. Also, this revelation finally solidified the difference between this Earth and the one he knew.

He broke out of his thoughts when a soft purr entered the room. Everybody turned down to see a white cat with hazel eyes nuzzling against Sonic's left leg. He kneels to the white feline only to open his hand for her. The cat climbed up his arm and stopped on his shoulder. The feline nuzzled his cheek a little before Sonic began gently petting her, causing her to purr.

Little did they know, four people were surprisingly shocked to see the white cat. Sonic noticed the strange looks on the Occult Club members.

"What's wrong?"

Koneko quickly overcame her shock before walking over to Sonic and returning to her usual cold tone, "Shiro..."

The feline perks up and notices her before leaping into her arms. Koneko looks at the teen for a moment before returning to her position. Rias regained her composure and cleared her thoughts.

"Sorry. We were slightly startled to see Koneko's familiar, Shiro, taking a liking to another person."

"Familiar?" Sonic questioned with interest.

Rias smiled in response, "Yes, having a familiar is a basic requirement for Devils. They perform numerous tasks to assist their master."

"So, you're saying they would do anything for their master?" Sonic asked, wondering if familiars are similar to Pokemon from Pikachu's world.

"Yes, I have a bat familiar. Are you perhaps interested in getting a familiar of your own?" Rias calmly asked, but secretly, she was overjoyed at how smoothly things were progressing. If she continues like this, her favorite Hero will remain with her peerage.

"Yeah... interested..." Sonic said nervously.

The Devils blinked in confusion at his tone and wondered why he spoke like that. Sonic took something out of his backpack. The Devils grew even more confused by this action, but the Devils needed to be more focused on the object inside Sonic's hand.

He was holding a bat-like creature in his hand. It was a little cartoonish, and it had a tiny pointy tail with swirls in its eyes. Rias looked shocked at the state of her familiar.

Sonic brings the bat to Rias for a moment while scratching the back of his head sheepishly, "Sorry, I thought she was sent to kill me!" Sonic apologized.

Rias snapped out of shock, "That's alright. I should have sent Koneko instead of my familiar." she said.

Sonic decided to tell them his story, the history of the Chaos Emeralds, the wars he went through, the enemies he faced, the friends he made, his life, his family history, and the adventures he had in the past. They all absorb the info that were given to them.

To Rias, she was jumping with inner joy as she hit the jackpot. She found a way out of her marriage from the asshole named Riser.

"That's a fascinating story, Sonic, but I believe that you, being inside Issei's body, weakened you, as well?" Sona said, causing Sonic to nod at her, answering her question, leading to Sona thinking of a plan to keep her friend's new peerage member safe for the time being.

"So, why did you want to resurrect Issei?" Sonic asked curiously why a pervert like Issei was valuable.

"The reason I wanted to resurrect him was that my familiar gave him a flyer meant to summon a member from peerage to fulfill their contract with Issei; his wish was to see me one last time before dying, so I used my evil pieces to save his life," Rias explained.

"So, in layman's terms, to keep me from dying, you made me your slave," Sonic gave an oversimplification as he frowned slightly at the implications that brought with it. He was known for his love of freedom and was a very independent guy willing to live and die by his own rules.

"In a sense, but my family has always treated our peerages more like family, and I'm no exception to that," Rias responded, which alleviated some of his worries, but he was still somewhat skeptical.

"I guess my next question would be, if you only have a limited number of those evil piece things to use, why use them on me?" Sonic asked which, while he hadn't thought of it before.

"Well, for starters, I couldn't just turn my back on Issei or you when I found you dying," Rias began, and while Sonic could see she wasn't exactly lying, he could tell there was more to it than that. "Though I would be lying if I said there wasn't a bit of an ulterior motive behind my decision."

"I figured as much," Sonic nodded; it would be hard to believe that a devil would do something likely that purely out of the goodness of their heart.

"As far as I know, I could tell you have a 'Sacred Gear,' which is a gift bestowed upon some humans from the biblical god; what sacred gear it is, though, I have no idea," Rias said.

"I do," Sonic said, surprising them all.

Sonic pulled out and left his arm, which changed into a red gauntlet with a green gem in the middle. Ddraig fed the knowledge of how to use the Sacred Gear directly into his new host.

"Y…you have the Red Dragon Emperor?" Rias said in shock. "Yeah," Sonic answered as he made the gauntlet disappear.

"Now you know my sacred gear. Now tell me why you reincarnated Issei, and I want the truth, not some lie." Sonic demanded not to play around this time

Rias sighed, knowing that it would be useless to lie to her favorite Hero any further. Based on the manga she read about him, he wasn't as naive or manipulatable as Issei would have been. Just flashing him some flesh wouldn't be enough. "It's a personal issue." She said, but Sonic just sat down and motioned for her to continue. "My parents arranged a marriage for me with another devil family called the Phenex Clan. I had no choice in the matter, and my fiance is a pig who created a harem peerage to have multiple women to play with. He doesn't see me for who I am. He sees me as a cock sleeve, something that would help elevate his position in the Underworld. The only way I can get my freedom back is to beat him and his peerage with my own in a match. If I lose, then I will never be free." Rias admitted to him, clenching her fists as she told Sonic her story.

"So you knew Issei had a Sacred Gear and decided he could benefit your team," Sonic said, earning a nod from her. It certainly was selfish of her to do what she did to Issei, but on some level, he could understand that she was probably getting desperate and didn't want her freedom taken away from her. "Well, I can't say I've heard that one before," Sonic muttered. Sonic closed his eyes for a moment and started thinking to himself.

Issei indirectly summoned Rias. Sonic had no choice, and Rias had no choice but to turn him into her servant to save his life. If it weren't for her, he might have stayed dead permanently. He can somewhat understand that if he were in her shoes, he might do everything he could to free himself from something he didn't want to participate in. And judging by the way he saw Rias and Sona's peerage, they didn't seem that bad, considering he saw them every day at school being nice to others with no hint of malice in them. Not to mention, he had friends who redeemed themselves and did worse things than Rias, so he would be a hypocrite if he didn't try to understand her.

"But I guess I can understand," Sonic said, smiling slightly. "You were growing desperate for help when no one else would help you," he said, earning a sad nod from the redhead. She was stuck in a bad situation. She had one chance to make the right to choose who she could marry. A right that should have been her's from the start but was taken away. "I'll help you," he said, making everyone in the ORC Building smile at his decision.

"But, If we're going to work with each other, I want the truth, nothing but the truth and no lies between us. I have full control of my actions. And I won't do things that I am uncomfortable doing. Got it?" Sonic asked, looking at them all seriously. Everyone nodded.

"Okay, explain how the Evil Pieces System works," Sonic said.

"Okay," Rias said. "Yumi is a knight and, therefore, receives a significant boost to his speed. Yumi also has a sacred gear called 'Sword Birth' that allows him to create a seemingly infinite amount of weapons and can make just about any sword you could think of." As if to emphasize her point, Yumi manifested a sword in each hand, which seemed to be made of fire and the other ice.

"Koneko is a rook; rooks have increased strength and durability," Rias explained. Curious at how strong she was, Sonic used his chaos energy to make a boulder appear above Koneko. Koneko caught it and effortlessly smashed it into pieces.

"My bishop cannot be here at the moment, but they receive an increase in their magic reserves. Akeno is my Queen; she receives a boost to her speed, strength, and magic." Rias explained as Akeno made bolts of lightning struck by Sonic's side, making him yelp a bit. Sonic glared at Akeno, who giggled innocently.

"You, Sonic, are my pawn," Rias informed, making Sonic let out a sad sigh and lower his head. "So basically, I'm dead meat," he grumbled.

"Not at all, Sonic; pawns are very useful and can gain the traits of any other piece besides the king by using their ability called 'Promotion' when in an area designated as enemy territory," Rias explained before taking another sip of tea. "Also, you are my only pawn; I had to use all eight of my pawns to resurrect you." That certainly improved Sonic's mood.

"Is that all?" Sonic asked Rias, wanting to go and find the emeralds.

"Can you show us your power?" Rias said with excitement as she was still fangirling at Sonic being real. She saw the way he beat and trashed his enemies with his Super form, and she wondered how powerful he was right now.

Sonic raised his brow but nodded. "Can you place barriers here? I don't want other people sensing my presence in this world." Sonic said. Rias and Sona nodded at his request. Sona's peerage started to form a barrier around the ORC Building. Sonic closed his eyes and spread his arms out as he released a shout, making a blue aura surrounded him. The ORC Building started to shake from Sonic's tremendous power. Everyone was wide-eyed at the power he was releasing. This power surpasses not just High-Class Devils but Ultimate-Class Devils as well. Koneko felt herself going into heat at the power Sonic was releasing.

Sonic then stopped, gasping for air, cursing Issei for being a weak, perverted idiot. He saw the mess he made in the ORC Building. "Oops, sorry," Sonic said sheepishly as he used his chaos energy to clean his mess, surprising everyone at the display of his power.

"That was incredible!" Rias fangirled at her Hero. "I know. I'm awesome," Sonic said smugly, rubbing his nose.

"Then I think that one of our peerage members should escort you home, just in case the Fallen came after you come back with back-up," Sona informed.

"An excellent idea, Sona," Rias stated and looked at her Knight to say, "Yumi, can you escort Sonic back home for me?"

"Of course, President," Yumi answered.

"Tsubaki, could you go as well as backup is a good idea?" Sona asked her Queen.

"Very well, Sona," Tsubaki agreed.

Sonic wanted to say something but didn't, as they had a point. If he had his old body, then it would be no problem, but with him having a weak body despite him still having his powers, he'll have some problems. Soon enough, the three Devils walked out of the room and building, heading toward his house.

The two decided to stay for the night just in case the Fallen Angel or more attacked his home.

Little did Sonic know, that Rias, Sona, Akeno, and Koneko appeared in Sonic's house. The four told Tsubaki and Yumi that they would be helping Sonic in recovering their strength. The six snuck into his room naked as the day they were born and slept with him. Nothing like that, but to use their healing magic to strengthen Sonic's body to help fast-track him in regaining his strength. Granted, they couldn't get it done right off the bat in one night, given how powerful he was in his old life, and his new life just got a little more interesting the following day.

Morning

The sun was over, Kuoh, and it was a nice day. In Sonic's house, Sonic was sleeping peacefully. He then felt weight on both sides of his chest. He gripped something warm and soft, thinking it was his pillow, but that's when he heard a feminine moan. His eyes snapped open as he almost jolted from the bed and pulled the covers off. He noticed Rias, Akeno, Yumi, Koneko, Sona, and Tsubaki were in his bed naked on the day they were born. Words failed to express just how startled the Blue Blur was. Blood rushed to his groin as he easily noticed that his companions in bed were very, very, naked. He was blushing up a storm.

'…' Sonic looked on mutely, jaw hung wide open as he continuously shifted his gaze back and forth from the left to the right, eyebrows raised up to his hairline as six of the known ladies of Kuoh Academy were sleeping soundly with Rias on his right shoulder, Akeno on his upper right pec, Sona on his left shoulder, Tsubaki on his upper left pec, Koneko was sleeping on his left thigh while Yumi was sleeping on his right thigh.

He tried his best not to think about how large their bust was or just how insanely soft they felt.

'How did they sneak in?' Sonic thought, but he noticed that he was naked as well and remembered he was wearing his boxers before bed.

'And when did they undress me?' The young man thought with a questionable look and knew that nothing had happened last night as he didn't smell anything off.

Sonic then heard them groaning and saw their eyes opening due to the sun's light.

They smiled at Sonic and caused him to blush.

"Good morning Sonic," Sona said shyly, blushing nervously as this was the first time she slept with someone naked.

"Good morning Sonic," Tsubaki said as she stretched her arms, making her DD-cup breast jiggle. She was rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, and she was sitting up now. She grabbed her and Sona's glasses from the table next to Sonic's bed.

"Morning, Sonic," Yumi greeted, sitting up and stretching her arms over her head, which made her D-cup breasts jiggle.

"Good morning cutie-pie." Akeno sent him a small, beautiful smile.

"Morning," Koneko purred cutely, rubbing her eyes, trying to get rid of the sleep in her eyes.

"Good morning Sonic, did you sleep well?" Rias asked over Sonic's shoulder.

"Morning. I did, though I have to ask… why were you all sleeping on top of me?What are you six doing in my bed? And why without a shirt or bra? And naked?" Sonic greeted/asked while trying and failing not to look at the naked girls in his bed.

"We slept on top of you because you make a very good and warm pillow…" her lips curved into a sultry smile as she inched her face closer to his, "I don't wear anything because I like to sleep naked."

"N-n-naked" he stuttered, mortified and embarrassed on her behalf, his reaction caused her to chuckle before she winked at him saucily.

"Oh, we are naked, as we need skin contact to use our healing magic. Given your special circumstances, we can use it to strengthen your body to handle your power better," Tsubaki informed, then thought of an idea to tease the blue blur.

Tsubaki grabbed Sonic's head and had him nuzzle between the valley of her breasts.

"Do my breast feel good for you Sonic?" Tsubaki asked teasingly.

"Why don't I join in~, "Akeno said as she pressed her breast against the back of Sonic's head

Sonic's eyebrow twitched at this; he was blushing madly, while under normal circumstances, he would appreciate the feeling of a woman's breast, the last thing he needed was for them to torture him like this. He coughed into Tsubaki's breast to get their attention, which worked as the two were looking at him, but with lust and hunger. Tsubaki licked her lips slowly, and the girls liked the reaction. Sonic saw what they were looking at, Sonic Jr. was fully erected. He just realized he was getting his figure from his old world.

Sonic immediately pulled away from Tsubaki and Akeno, he covered himself up with a blanket, making the girls pout, and said with a groan, "Not funny."

Having had her fill of teasing the Blue Blur for the morning, Rias and the girls got up, flashing Sonic in the process with a view of heaven consisting of large and shapely boobs jiggling and forcing Sonic to close his eyes, a hint of crimson on his cheeks from the lewd but enjoyable view.

Rias inwardly smiled as she got off the bed, almost everyone she met would have been utterly happy to ogle her body if given the chance, yet this human, an admittedly powerful and a very gorgeous one, choosing to do the opposite was very refreshing and… sweet.

She wasn't blind to the quick admiring glances he sent her, but just as he would start to gawk, he'd look the other way and try his best not to stare even if she didn't mind it, Rias felt her respect and admiration swell up as she thought of how polite he'd been trying to be.

A notion that deeply pleased the stunning red-head, Sonic belonged to her, not her queen or anybody else, it irritated her greatly today to hear Akeno call Sonic her 'cutie-pie.'

Rias's beautiful turquoise orbs turned into a malicious crimson as her wrath and bloodlust spiked as her devil instincts urged her to claim and own Sonic while annihilating all who would even think about spending a second with him.

It wasn't that she felt love at first sight when she locked her eyes on Sonic, no she didn't believe in love at first sight even if she wished it were true, it just happened to be a physical attraction at its finest that she felt for the bluenette.

It also just so happened that unlike most in terms of personality like a certain Phenex devil, Sonic showed so far that he wasn't despicable or a horrible excuse of a man.

No… the only personality traits that Rias could discern from the Sonic was that he was kind, sweet, shy to womanly physical affection, brash when annoyed or insulted, confident, and was trying his best to be a decent man to a voluptuous woman. Qualities that a devilish woman like herself would enjoy in a man.

In simple terms, a very handsome man whose personality was like that of a chivalrous and noble warrior.

Rias could feel her cheeks heating up as she eyed the young man's form, he was tall, standing around at 6ft1 if she had to guess, with peach skin and waivy blue hair in the form of six spines.

Blessed with emerald green eyes that emerged from underneath strands of blue that covered his forehead, she looked down to stop herself from drowning in his eyes and noted a pair of adorable hedgehog ears, all those beautiful features amplified by a strong masculine jaw.

Looking at his physique, Rias couldn't resist biting her lips as she admired Sonic's majestic and muscular physique, from his broad wide shoulders narrowing into a thin waist, large defined arms on either side of a full and vast chest, and those 8-pack abs… mhmm those abs~

Rias had to suppress a delighted sigh as she gazed at what was most assuredly the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life. As a devil of Greed, Rias had an immense and irresistible urge to control and rule over anything and anyone that caught her attention, and this beautiful human had most certainly caught hers.

'You are mine' Rias lustfully thought as she drank in the sight of the half-naked male with her alluringly mesmerizing eyes. Yup, she could definitely understand why the girls in Kuoh Academy were obsessing over this human.

The intense physical attraction Rias felt for the Blue Blur was very mutual.

"~Sonic~… you are mine~" Rias murmured alluringly.

The girls giggled at his reaction. Sonic sighed at this while the girls were giggling as they started to get dressed for school. But before any of the girls could say anything Sonic turned away from them and kept his eyes closed. His cheeks were red hot and he was blushing up a storm.

Tsubaki had a pout on her face, "Sonic why are you looking away from us?"

"It's inappropriate for a man to see a woman naked unless they are dating." Tsubaki giggled at this and he heard her footsteps behind him before she had her arms around Sonic's neck. Her breasts were pushed into his back and she was rubbing her nipples causing him to get even redder in the face.

"Its okay Sonic you can look if you want," Tsubaki said.

"I don't mind having a big and strong man like yourself looking at me~," Akeno purred.

"Please girls please get dressed." She tightened her grip on him.

"Not until you start calling me Baki" Sonic nodded his head rapidly and she laughed at his red face. She got off his back and started getting dressed until she asked him to help her with her bra. Turning around he saw her standing there with her back to him wearing a pair of blue panties causing Sonic to swallow some saliva and try to stop a nosebleed.

"This is so weird," Sonic pointed out while helping her clip the bra behind her back.

"You'll get used to it Sonic," Tsubaki said reassuringly.

"That's what I'm worried about honestly." After making sure her bra was one she grabbed her uniform and started putting on her long white sock showing off her amazing underwear-clad body. Her bra looked like it barely held her breasts in and her panties were scandalous but they were still very erotic since they were maybe a size too small for her. Along with her long black hair, she looked alluring to the point Sonic was feeling myself getting hard just by looking at her. But he quickly pinched himself and tried to imagine things to make his hard-on go away.

After putting her socks on he then put her white top on along with the cape and then the short skirt. Finally her shoes went on and she was fully dressed in her uniform. He felt disappointed by this, then he pinched himself again trying to get rid of such inappropriate thoughts.

"So Sonic enjoy the show sorry it was in reverse order." She was leaning on Sonic's bed with a beautiful smile on her face.

"Is that a trick question?" No matter how he answered it he would either be considered a pervert or a bastard. But Tsubaki only laughed at that and stood up from his bed.

"I believe it's our turn my cute pawn?" Rias said as she gestured herself to Rias, Akeno, and Yumi.

"Take your time cutie-pie~," Akeno said, winking at him.

"Don't be ashamed to touch~" Yumi chirped.

Sona and Koneko on the other hand blushed and simply put on their uniforms, though they did want Sonic to help them if they did have the breast to support them.

Sonic sighed at this, while Rias, Akeno, Yumi, and Tsubaki were giggling at this as the they all started to get dress for school.

Kuoh Academy

The three walked through the academy gates, and Sonic heard the other students talking about the three walking in together.

"I have to get back to Sona as she needs me to help her with paperwork," Tsubaki said as she walked away.

"I'll pick you up after school to go to the ORC building," Yumi said as she walked away.

"Alright," Sonic said before looking up in the sky. He will need to ask his King a favor to avoid any problems or future problems with his new life.

This was his home and new life. He started to wonder how much he'd change this world. He also hopes that he can find the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald, but he still can feel his powers flowing through him and Ddraig's power as well. Sonic will have to search for them later, but now the first-hour class is starting, and here we go.

Look out, world, a New Devil has come and will show everyone why he is the Knight of the Wind and the Embodiment of Chaos.

Chapter Text

Kuoh Academy, Girls Kendo Club   

Sonic, along with Yumi, were sparring against Murayama and Katase in two teams. Sonic and Yumi had a higher advantage due to the speed at which they were moving. A few weeks later, after meeting the devils in Kuoh Academy, Sonic would join Yumi some of the times after school to spar with the girls in kendo, much to their delight that the Blue Knight of Kuoh would join them and protect them from the Perverted Duo, which he beat the tar out of with a bokken. 

"Watch out!" Yumi called out to Sonic as she dodged a swing from Murayama's shinai. 

"Thanks!" Sonic called out as he countered Katase's shinai with his own just in time. "You won't win this time, Nikki!" Katase shouted as she struggled to find a weak spot in Sonic's fighting style. 

"I'd like to see you try!" Sonic taunted her playfully. Sonic then started to slash at Katase's shinai as she wasn't able to keep up with Sonic's movements. 

Katasa wasn't able to meet Sonic's shinai with her own as his shinai slammed against her own so hard, making her fall to the ground with her shinai by her side. 

"Do you yield?" Sonic asks as he points her shinai at her forehead.  

Katase looked at Sonic. She sighed in defeat, "I yield." 

Sonic gave her his hand, and she grabbed it to pull herself up. "You improved since our last spar, Katase," Sonic said, smiling at her. 

Katase blushed at him as she rubbed her arm. "You think?" Katase asked shyly. "Yep. Yumi was the only one here in Kuoh actually to get to fight me seriously." Sonic replied as he looked at Yumi defeating Murayama. 

"That was a good spar, Murayama. You actually had me on edge," Yumi said kindly, bringing Murayama to her feet. "Thank you, Yumi. It's good to know that I have improved since last time," Murayama said, smiling brightly. 

"Well, time to go, Yumi," Sonic said as he walked with Yumi to the showers. "Where are you two heading off?" Murayama asked curiously. "Well, we joined the ORC to study more about the supernatural," Sonic answered her. 

"Seriously, sounds interesting," Katase said. She had been fascinated by the supernatural and other mythologies of their world.  

"Yeah, we gotta go. See ya tomorrow!" Sonic waved as he and Yumi left to change out of their training clothes. 

 ORC Building   

Sonic and Yumi walked into the ORC Building. Sonic sat on the sofa with his hands behind his head, relaxing with Yumi and Koneko sitting by his sides. 

Koneko was snacking on some cookies that Sonic bought for her while Yumi was reading a book about the histories of legendary swordsmen that existed in the past. 

While they were sitting, Yumi thought the perfect idea as she got up from the couch and decided to sit right on Sonic's lap, surprising him as he felt her butt grinding against his lower area to get a rise out of him.

"Really, Yumi?" Sonic asked with a sigh.

Yumi giggled at this and said, "What your lap is more comfortable to sit on."

Rias and Akeno appeared before them through a magical circle. "Ah, Sonic, it's good that you're here," Rias said, noticing Sonic. Her eye twitched as she saw Yumi sitting on Sonic's lap.

"Well, it seems Sonic's beastly urges are out of control. What should we ever do? Maybe I can satisfy him?" Akeno asked in a dramatic way.

Koneko looked at her and muttered, "Perverted Devil," as she munched on the snacks that Sonic gave her.

"Anyway, you need anything, Rias?" Sonic asked, ready to do something. 

"Yes, I need you to send out flyers," Rias said as a stack of papers appeared before Sonic on the table. 

"Flyers?" Sonic asked, grabbing one as he inspected it. "They're used by humans to summon us, so they can wish anything they want," Rias answered. 

"Very well then. Time for you to get up, Yumi," Sonic said as he poked Yumi's side.

Yumi groaned, but she got up as Sonic got off the sofa and grabbed the stack of flyers, ready to head out.

"So that's it? I just have to send out these and wait for some of them to summon me?" Sonic asked, grabbing the stack of flyers. "Yes," Rias answered. 

"See ya in a couple of minutes!" Sonic said as he ran out the door with his super speed. 

Everyone saw the door slam after Sonic's departure.  

Rias turned to Yumi after Sonic left and asked a question on her mind, "Okay, Yumi, what's yours and Tsubaki's goal?"

"What are you talking about?" Yumi said, pretending to be confused.

Rias's eyebrow twitched at this.

Akeno giggled at her friend and decided to tease her by saying, "My, is Rias jealous of Yumi that she and Tsubaki are so close to Sonic? That they're living and spending more time with him and may pop his cherry down the road?"

Ria's face turned red as her hair, and she glared at her Queen.

Yumi laughed at this but blushed as well, thinking about Sonic taking her and Tsubaki.

"Anyway, Yumi, how is the progress at restoring Sonic to have maximum?" Rias asked, hoping Sonic's strength would be enough to defeat Riser Phenex. 

"Everything is progressing well, President. His stamina has improved a bit, his powers are slowly recovering to their max, and his physical condition has improved as well." Yumi, much to Rias' delight. 

Rias was relieved at this. If Sonic can fight at his max, then he will be able to free her from her marriage with Riser. 

"Yes, you and the others must continue helping Sonic recover his strength. If this fails, then Riser will have all of us." Rias grimaced as the others shivered at what perverted things Riser would do to them if he defeated them in a Rating Game. 

"I'm sure that Sonic and Ddraig will pull through when the time comes," Akeno said, confident that Sonic and Ddraig will defeat Riser. 

"I'm not doubting Sonic's abilities. It's just there could be a possibility that Riser will try to do something dirty in the Rating Game to win." Rias said, still concerned that Riser would do something dirty. 

"If Sonic is anything like he is in the manga. Then I'm sure he'll defeat him. Not to mention, I have no doubt he'll make that pervert beg for his life." Koneko said, surprising the others that she respected a male for the first time." Not to mention, I have no doubt he'll want to beat him into a bloody pulp when he hears that he treats them badly." She added in. 

"Let's hope so," Rias said as she looked out the window.

 Kuoh Town   

Sonic was walking through the neighborhood of Kuoh, having finished delivering flyers. Most of the flyers he delivered were to teenage girls and adult females around their 20s. 

"Hah! Rias should have given me a challenge! That was way too easy!" Sonic said as he walked. 

Sonic felt something forming behind him. Sonic saw a buxom woman with brown eyes and long, navy blue hair that obscured her right eye. Her attire consisted of a maroon trench coat-like top with a wide collar covering her EE-cup breasts, a matching miniskirt, and black-heeled shoes. The trench coat top was open at her chest, giving a view of her breasts and cleavage. She also wore a gold necklace around her neck. 

"My, my. So, you're the devil Dohnaseek failed to kill, huh?" The woman asked as she formed a golden on her right hand. 

"Yeah, and you are?" Sonic asked, crossing his arms seriously. 

"The name is Kalawarner, handsome. Why don't you be a good boy and let me kill you? It will be quick and painless~" Kalawarner purred as a pair of fallen angel wings formed behind her back. 

"Yeah, about that, I prefer living instead of dying," Sonic said as he used his ring blades to form a sword. 

"That's a shame. Guess I get to play rough with you before killing you." Kalawarner said seductively. She charged at Sonic. 

Sonic immediately jumped into the air and sent chaos spears toward her. 

Kalawarner was caught off guard by his attack as one of his chaos spears struck her chest. Making her lose altitude and fall down to the ground. 

"All bark and no bite huh?" Sonic mocked. 

"Don't get cocky," Kalawarner growled as she got up. Sonic immediately slammed her body against the wall. 

"Mmmm.~ Dominant, are we?" Kalawarner purred as Sonic held her wrists above her head. 

"Cut to the chat. What do you want from me?" Sonic glared at her. 

"You possess a powerful sacred gear that is a threat to our master's plans. My allies and I were sent here to kill you before you become a threat to our master," Kalawarner said before sending out a blast at Sonic, knocking him off guard. 

"Seems like we have to fight another day, handsome~" Kalwarner purred before flying away, giving Sonic a view of her pussy. 

Sonic stood there for a moment before sighing in annoyance. "Great, another fallen angel sent out to kill me. Just what I needed." Sonic said sarcastically. 

Sonic then turned around, making sure Kalwarner wasn't still there. "I should get going," Sonic muttered before running off at super speed. 

Unknown to him, a black cat saw the whole thing, purring at the power Sonic used. "So, this is the one Ophis wants to join the Khaos Brigade. He might be the one to help me give birth to powerful Nekos, ~" the black cat purred before sprinting away. 

 Kuoh Academy, ORC Building   

"Another fallen angel attacked you?" Rias asked seriously. "Yeah." Sonic nodded. 

"This isn't good. Issei is killed by Raynare. Dohnaseek and Kalawarner being sent out to kill you means that they know that you possess the Boosted Gear. Which is one of the thirteen Longinus." Rias said, putting a finger below her chin in thought. 

"Longinus?" Sonic raised a brow. "They're sacred gears that are capable of destroying and killing Gods," Rias answered, making Sonic's eyes widen. 

"Seriously?" Sonic asked in disbelief. "She is not joking, partner," Ddraig said, a green gem forming on the back of Sonic's hand as he spoke through it. 

"My archrival, Albion, is sealed in a Longinus sacred gear as well. His power is the exact opposite of mine's. His power allows him to divide an opponent's strength and absorb that power, leaving the opponent with half of their power." Ddraig explained. "You will face Albion and his host in the future. We will have to augment your training if you are being pursued by others." 

"Why would Albion and his host want to face me and you?" Sonic asked while raising a brow. 

"It's because we are both rivals for eternity, and we both are the only ones who can rival each other in power," Ddraig said, getting a nod from Sonic. 

Sonic sighed at this. Guess he had to deal with fallen angels and other threats chasing him for his power and Ddraig as well. 

"Relax, Sonic, as long as you are part of my peerage, then you will remain safe," Rias said, reassuring him. 

"Thanks for that, Ri," Sonic said as he stretched his legs. 

"Don't forget we're going to search for stray devils tomorrow." Rias reminded Sonic, getting a nod from him. 

"Sir, yes, sir," Sonic said playfully before running off, leaving the wind to brush their hair. 

"He's going to be doing that, isn't he?" Koneko asked, a bit annoyed as she caught her snacks from falling onto the floor. 

"What? It is his signature move." Rias said, defending her favorite hero from her manga. 

"You're saying that because you want to know when he's publishing his next manga," Akeno said, teasing her King. 

"Well, excuse me! I can't help it that one of my heroes exists right in front of me and is now in my peerage!" Rias whined childishly, getting a giggle from her Queen. 

"Don't forget you own a Sonic hoodie, too~ "Yumi said, volunteering to tease her King. 

"Don't tell him that!" Rias warned with her cheeks blushing in embarrassment. 

"I'm tempted to tell him~," Akeno said teasingly. 

"You will do no such thing!" Rias said as she was surrounded by her red aura, ready to use her Power of Destruction. 

"Why don't you try?" Akeno asked mockingly as she was surrounded by a yellow aura ready to use her Holy Lightning. 

Both Yumi and Koneko nodded at each other and disappeared through their magic circles to Sonic's house. 

Both Rias and Akeno blasted their attacks at each other, causing destruction in and out of the ORC Building. 

 Thursday Morning   

 Sonic's House   

Sonic was snoring heavily in his sleep. His eyes slowly opened as the Sun's rays hit his face. Sonic groaned at this, wanting to sleep longer. 'Time to wake up, partner.' Ddraig said through Sonic's head. 

"Yeah, yeah," Sonic groaned, getting the blankets off him. Sonic's eyes widened as he saw who was sleeping with him. 

Sonic saw that Koneko and Yumi were sleeping on his chest naked as the day they were born and felt his arms being squished by something. Sonic saw that Akeno and Rias were naked as well, and he saw that he wasn't wearing any boxers at all. He saw that Rias' E-Cup breast was wrapped around his right arm while Akeno's F-Cup breast was wrapped around his left arm.

'Why am I not surprised,' Sonic thought, amused. Sonic heard Ddraig chuckling at him. 

'Seems like someone is getting lucky with the ladies.' Ddraig said, amused. 'Haha. Very funny, Ddraig,' Sonic said mentally to Ddraig. 'It's not my fault you have a charm when it comes to the ladies.' Ddraig said to Sonic. 

'Whatever, it's time to get some work done.' Sonic said, with Ddraig humming in agreement. 

Sonic slowly got up, making the girls wake from his movements. They all yawned and stretched their arms, making their breasts jiggle while Koneko let a cute 'nya~' as they yawned. 

"Morning, girls," Sonic said as he put a towel over his shoulder. 

"Morning, Nikki," Rias said, smiling at him as she lay on the bed relaxing with Akeno lying next to her giving Sonic a sultry look as she sucked on her fingers. 

"Morning to you, master~" Akeno purred. 

"Morning, Sonic," Yumi greeted while smiling at him. 

"Morning," Koneko said tiredly while rubbing her eyes. 

Sonic sighed at this as he knew that both of Rias and Sona's peerages were basically living with him. Both peerages were always sleeping with him naked to help him gain his strength back, but they were getting bolder. One time, when he woke up together with Yumi and Tsubaki, Yumi pushed Tsubaki down and started to make out and grind against each other, tempting Sonic to take them, but they got a blanket placed over them as he got dressed. This made the two pout and giggle as they knew he was just keeping his urges under control, making them want him even more. 

"I'll meet you guys downstairs," Sonic said as he went to take a shower. 

"I'm surprised he hasn't made a move on us yet," Rias commented as she put her underwear on. 

"As it should be," Koneko said, putting her clothes on, relieved that Sonic wasn't a pervert. 

"I wouldn't mind if he were to check me out~" Akeno purred. 

All four of them got dressed and went down to prepare breakfast for Sonic. 

Sonic was done taking a shower and put on some casual clothes. He wore a long blue overcoat reaching to his wrists, a white shirt, black jeans, his trademark shoes, and white fingerless gloves. 

Sonic then walked down the stairs and saw that the girls had already made breakfast. 

"Girls?" Sonic asked, surprised by them cooking breakfast for him. 

"Huh? Oh, hey Sonic, I see you're already washed up." Rias said as she flipped some pancakes. 

Sonic looked at the table and saw that a couple of pancakes, hashbrowns, bacon, and eggs were already set up on the table. 

"You didn't have to do this, you know that?" Sonic said as he started to eat his food. 

"Nonsense. You become part of my family, so I want to make you feel welcome to my peerage and my family." Rias said, smiling at him. 

'Well, you know how to make a guy feel welcomed." Sonic said, biting down on a piece of bacon. 

"So, what are our plans for today?" Sonic asked as he drank his orange juice. 

"There is not much to do aside from fulfilling contracts with our summoners and killing stray devils," Yumi said to Sonic, much to his disappointment. 

"Seriously?" Sonic asked, bored. 

"Afraid so, but don't worry, blue, you can spend time with all of us~," Akeno said seductively, as she 'accidentally' poured some juice on her breasts, making Sonic look at them. Sonic took his attention away from them and focused on his food, making Akeno laugh at him. 

Sonic then noticed the seal of the Gremory Clan was glowing red on the top of his hand. 

"Seems like someone needs you already," Koneko said bluntly, wanting to spend more time with him. 

"Relax, it's probably a small favor," Sonic said as he used chaos control to teleport away, surprising the others. 

"Well, seems like his strength seems to be returning faster than we thought," Rias commented, pleased at Sonic's progress. 

 Somewhere Else   

Sonic appeared at his summoner's location and saw that he was in a luxurious living room that belonged to a wealthy person. It had a huge flat-screen TV, black leather couches and white walls, and a couple of paintings. He saw paintings related to the supernatural. Some of them were shown as devils, angels, and fallen angels. 

"You like them? It took me a while to find art that meets my taste." A voice said behind him. Sonic immediately turned around and saw a tall man with black hair, blond bangs, and violet eyes. He wore a black V-neck and grey pants. He had a wine glass with wine in it in his right hand. 

"And you are?" Sonic asked cautiously, summoning his ring blades. 

"Ah, where are my manners? The name is Azazel, the leader of the Grigori. I summoned you to inform you that I didn't give out the order to kill Issei," The Fallen Angel leader informed. 

Sonic looked at Azazel for a moment. He used his chaos sense and felt that he was telling the truth. 

"Okay, but why did Dohnaseek and Kalawarner try to kill me?" Sonic said, crossing his arms and narrowing his eyes at Azazel. 

"My orders were to watch Issei, and if there were signs of his Sacred Gear being active, I would have given the order to bring him back to Grigori to train his gear so he won't harm himself and everybody else around him," Azazel explained. 

"Let me guess, someone went behind your back?" Sonic said, given his experience and displeasure of knowing some villains in his old life that gained power, would try to stab others in the back so they could gain more power for themselves and not share with their allies. 

Azazel nodded his head and said, "Yes, quite right. I believe there's a rouge splinter group, or at least someone, manipulating them. I want Raynare and her group alive, if possible, though you can kill the others." 

Azazel gave Sonic his summoning card. "Use this to summon me so I can get my answers." 

"Got it," Sonic said before teleporting back, surprising Azazel and making him look at Sonic's previous location in interest. 

"Something tells me that boy will help in changing the world," Azazel said, interested in the future Sonic will be making.

 ORC Building   

"YOU WHAT?!" Rias shouted at Sonic with shock displayed on her face, making Sonic's ears ring and his eyes dart horizontally in a cartoonish way, making him clutch his head to steady himself. Sonic had explained to her and her peerage that he was summoned by Azazel and willingly explained to him to capture four of his fallen angels that went rogue from his organization. 

"Can you not?" Sonic asked with annoyance. He shook his head and said, "Yeah, that's what he told me. 

"Are you sure he wasn't lying?" Rias asked seriously. "He wasn't, and I even used my chaos powers to sense if he was lying. He also gave me this." Sonic said, giving her Azazel's summoning card. 

Rias analyzed the summoning card and inspected it for a trap from it. So far, she found nothing aside from a regular summoning card. 

"Alright, I guess that means we have something to do at all. Aren't you excited, Sonic?" Akeno asked, smiling at him. 

"Yeah, better than doing nothing!" Sonic said, stretching his legs. 

"It's best we search for them right now before they start hurting more people with sacred gears," Rias said, standing up from her desk. 

Rias then grabbed something from her drawer. She gave Sonic a summoning flyer, much to his confusion. 

"You want me to deliver another flyer?" Sonic asked in confusion. "No, this flyer is specifically designed to act as a phone. You still need training on how to use magic from this world." Rias explained. 

"Alright, if that's all I say, we go!" Sonic said before blasting off through the door. 

"That's never going to get old?" Koneko said with a bit of annoyance as the wind brushed her hair. 

"Doesn't seem like it," Akeno said, amused. 

"So, we meet back here at night?" Yumi asked her King. 

"Yes, notify Sonic when to return," Rias said before teleporting through her magical circle. 

The others teleported through their own magical circle as well. 

 Kuoh Town   

Sonic was running all over Kuoh Town, searching for any of the fallen angels Azazel told him of. 

'Okay, fallen angels are searching for people that possess sacred gears, so I just need to find a person that has a sacred gear,' Sonic said to himself. 

Sonic skidded to a halt at a park. 

"No one with a sacred gear here," Sonic muttered to himself, turning around to run off. 

Unfortunately, he bumped into a blonde girl dressed in nun clothes. 

"AH!" The nun shouted, startling Sonic. 

Sonic looked at the nun's clothes. Her attire consisted of a dark teal nun outfit with light blue accents, a white veil over her head with light blue accents, a brown satchel slung on her right hip, and brown boots with black straps in an X-shaped pattern. She also wore a silver cross necklace around her neck. 

"Huh? Oh, sorry, here, let me help you," Sonic said, grabbing her hand. He later pulled her up from the ground. He immediately helped her put clothes and stuff back in her briefcase. 

"I'm sorry for that. I should have looked where I was going." Sonic apologized, scratching his back sheepishly as he handed her a briefcase. 

"N-No, it's alright! I'm new to this town. I should have expected something like this to happen." The nun said. "It's very sweet of you for helping me with my stuff." The nun said, grabbing her briefcase. 

"It's no big deal," Sonic replied, smiling at her. 

"Can you help me?" The nun asked, blushing as she poked her index fingers together shyly. 

"Huh?" Sonic asked. 

"I'm sorry, but I'm a little bit lost. Do you think you could help me?" The nun asked, a bit embarrassed. 

"Sure! I don't mind helping someone, especially a foreigner." Sonic said, giving her his signature thumbs up, getting a smile from her. 

 Time Skip   

Sonic and the nun were walking in the neighborhood, having a conversation with each other. 

"So, you're a tourist?" Sonic asked beside her. 

"Oh no, as a matter of fact, I was just assigned to serve this church in this town." the nun replied. 

"Guess that explains your outfit," Sonic said, looking at her up and down. 

"I'm so glad I ran into someone kind like you. I guess someone is looking out for me, huh?" the nun said, blushing at him. 

"Yeah," Sonic chuckled, scratching the back of his head. He saw the nun's cross and looked away as he felt something from it. 

"Huh? Is everything okay?" The nun asked in concern. "Oh yeah. It's all good." Sonic said, smiling at her. 

'What the heck was that?' Sonic thought, remembering that feeling when he saw the cross necklace. 

Both of them stopped when they heard a boy crying. 

The nun ran toward the little boy who was crying while sitting on the ground with his knee bleeding. 

"A big boy like you shouldn't cry over a scrape. Don't worry, you're gonna be fine." The nun said, rubbing his head, trying to soothe him. 

The nun then held her hands over the little boys' knees. She healed the scrape, and the boy's leg was healed as new. 

"Whoa, she healed him," Sonic said, impressed by what he was seeing. Sonic then clutched his left hand in pain. 

'Seriously, what was that?' Sonic thought, wincing. 

"You see, there is no reason for you to cry. You're fine." The nun said. She turned to Sonic and said, "All done now, sorry." 

 Time Skip   

Both Sonic and the nun continued walking around the neighborhood. 'Ddraig, do you know what's happening to me?' Sonic asked mentally. 

'It seems to be you are experiencing the weakness devils have.' Ddraig said. 'Devils shouldn't go near or get involved with anything related to the Biblical God. They suffer nasty side effects such as headaches and immense pain. They are vulnerable to holy objects such as crucifixes, holy water, and the Bible and can get killed easily by Holy Swords and Sacred Gears with divine properties. These effects are caused by the system put in place by the Biblical God.' 

'Also, intense light, such as the light-based weapons used by Angels and Fallen Angels and the light swords used by exorcists, can severely wound, if not kill, a Devil. Devils with higher demonic power can develop a certain degree of resistance to light.' Ddraig explained. 

'Rias should have mentioned that,' Sonic thought, annoyed. 

"You must be surprised." the nun said, snapping Sonic from his link with Ddraig. 

"Huh? Oh no. Not at all. That is a good power you have." Sonic said, complimenting her ability to heal the little boy's knee. 

"Thank you! I consider it to be a gift and a blessing from god," the nun said, "truly it's wonderful." 

The nun then noticed the church. "Oh! There it is!" the nun exclaimed. 

Sonic looked at the direction the nun was looking at. "Huh. Would you look at that?" Sonic remarked. 

"It's a good thing we found it. That's a relief." The nun said, glad that she found the church. 

Sonic, on the other hand, looked at the church, feeling there was something off about it. 'Ddraig, do you feel that?' he asked seriously. 'Yes. There are fallen angels in the church. We need to notify Rias once we're done.' Ddraig answered Sonic. 

"Let me thank you properly. Would it be a problem for you to come with me?" The nun asked kindly. 

"Huh, oh sorry, I just remember I have to do an errand for a friend of mine." Sonic lied. 

"Oh, that's okay." The nun said sadly, looking down for a moment. The nun then smiled at Sonic, "Guess I should go too. It was sweet of you to help me find my way. My name is Asia Argento." Asia said, introducing herself. 

"My name is Nikki Kaosu, and you are very welcome," Sonic said, smiling at her and giving her a thumbs up. 

"Huh, well, meeting you was a blessing, and I know for sure that it's one I won't forget. I hope we meet each other again," Asia said, smiling at Sonic. 

"Yeah, me too," Sonic said, rubbing his head. 

"If you're ever bored or in the neighborhood, come by and visit me at the church. That's where I'll be." Asia informed Sonic. 

"Sounds awesome. I'll stop by if I have the chance." Sonic said. 

He then remembers he had to search for the fallen angels. 

"I gotta go, Asia, have a good day!" Sonic ran, waving at her. "Thanks, you have a good day as well!" Asia yelled, waving at Sonic. 

 Time Skip   

 ORC Building   

Sonic met up with Rias and the others. 

"Hey Rias, I found the fallen angels Azazel has warned me about," Sonic said to her, surprising his peers. 

"That fast?" Rias asked, surprised. 

"Yeah, they're at the only church that is in Kuoh. I sensed them hiding in there. It looked abandoned to me. I figured it seemed a good place for them to hide since no one was using it." Sonic explained 

"I also helped a nun, by the way; she has a sacred gear that allows her to heal people's injuries too," Sonic said to them, surprising them that he found another sacred gear user that quickly. 

The others heard the word 'nun,' and Rias glared at Sonic, making him raise an eyebrow at this. 

"Sonic, I want you to stay away from that nun. She's…" 

"The enemy of the Devils, I know Rias, but she's too pure, and she won't even harm a fly. Not to mention she didn't have any weapons with her to kill me," Sonic said, cutting the crimson-haired devil off. 

"Besides, the fallen angels are targeting people that have sacred gears. So, there could be a possibility that they could try to kill Asia, too. I say we keep an eye on her. I get the feeling that the fallen angels fooled Asia into coming here." Sonic said, making Rias think for a moment. 

Rias heard this and thought about this info. If fallen angels got past her the first time by attacking a teenager, there's no telling if they will do that again. She will have to talk to Sona about this. 

"I'll go and check in with Sona about this so we can make plans to attack the church if the Fallen are there, but I can deal with that tomorrow as we have a stray to kill," Rias said. 

"Alright!" Sonic slammed his fist against his palm with excitement, getting a couple of giggles from Rias, Akeno, and Yumi while Koneko smiled a bit at him. 

 Time Skip (Nighttime)   

 Abandoned Warehouse   

Night came, and the group of Devils was at the warehouse where Viser, the Stray Devil, had left her King and turned into a monster that had started to eat humans. Sona gave Sonic the details about this, telling him that the most powerful of strays hold the Rank of S to SS and need an Ultimate Devil to kill these strays. 

"So, Visor left her King?" Sonic asked with annoyance. 

It was stupid to the hero that they must kill her because she left her King. He won't say they shouldn't kill her as she is now killing humans and doesn't want any innocents getting in the crossfire. 

"It has to be done, Sonic. It's the punishment to all reincarnated Devils, and she has been killing humans that brought our attention," Rias said, making a good point, and Sonic agreed with her for now. 

As the group was walking, they smelled the stench of blood, and as they got closer, a snake-like tail struck them, making them dodge the attack. 

"Well, well, well, it's the Gremory bitch and her peerage," The Stray Devil, or Visor, said as she walked out, and her appearance looked like a centaur, but her eyes landed on Sonic, and she smiled lustfully at him and started to rub her bare breasts. 

Viser was a young woman with a voluptuous figure with long black hair and a pair of light grey eyes, but her lower body was gigantic and beastly with four legs, each having sharp claws and a snake as a tail. She was also completely naked and was showing her E-Cup breasts. 

"Oh, what a handsome man. Maybe I should just kill the sluts and keep you alive so I can ride you all day long and have your seed into me." 

"Okay, that was perverted and weird on so many levels," Sonic said with a deadpan look. 

"Agreed," Yumi growled before summoning one of her demon swords, and she charged at Viser, who had pissed her off. 

Sonic decides to stay back and watch how this is done as he knows what the pieces do, thanks to Rias and Sona. He was impressed by Yumi's speed as she was fast and agile, but she lacked strength in her strikes. Sonic will have to help her out with that. 

Koneko was a brawler as she only used her Rook's power and not her chakra or Senjutsu. He'll try to fix that problem and find out what happened. But he would have to help her out with her reflexes and speed as they were too slow. 

Akeno used her lightning attacks on the Stray. Sonic could tell that she was enjoying it way too much as he saw a small trial of liquid running down her inner thighs, making him look at her with a deadpanned expression. He can tell that both he and Akeno will get along just fine, as he likes toying with his opponents and enjoys it. Though, unlike Sonic, Akeno wasn't experienced enough to keep her confidence from clouding her judgment and giving her tunnel vision. She was lucky that she was up against a stray devil, and a pretty weak one at that, since a higher-leveled and more experienced opponent would take advantage of this to kill Akeno if she were lucky. 

But Sonic saw something else, and he could tell that Akeno was wearing a mask that he knew all too well, as he had worn one when he was growing up. It looks like he must find out what happened to her. 

The lighting stopped, and Rias walked up to Visor as she was on the ground with cuts, bruises, and burns from the lighting, and she glared at the Gremory with pure hate. 

Sonic clapped his hands at their display. He was kind of impressed with their work, but it does have some flaws in them. 

"Nice! Great teamwork," Sonic said, congratulating his friends. "There are a couple of flaws that need to be improved. But still nice." He said, getting smiles from him in return. 

Before Rias could finish off Viser.

"Help me..."

Sonic blinked as he heard something.

"Nikki? You ok?" Rias asked.

"Yeah. Just for a minute I thought I heard..." Sonic said.

"Help me... please..."

Sonic heard that voice again and used his senses to pinpoint where it was coming from.

And he was shocked to see it come from Viser.

"What the...?" He muttered.

"I want... to be free... from this prison... I can't... take it anymore..."

"Are these her thoughts?" Sonic wondered.

'Sonic.' Ddraig said.

"What's up?"

"Have you felt her power was split in half, one chaotic and the other calm as if they're clashing?"

"You noticed it too?" Sonic asked.

"Turns out the calm part is coming from her upper half while the chaotic part is coming from her lower half."

"What do you mean?" Sonic asked.

"Somehow she's basically a prisoner in her own body." Ddraig said.

"Shoot if she's a prisoner of her own body then that means she's innocent!" Sonic realized.

"Well let's finish off Viser and-" Rias said before she was interrupted.

"Hang on Rias, I need to do something," Sonic said, walking up to Viser.

"What do you mean?" Akeno asked.

"This." Sonic's body became engulfed in blue chaos energy, and he touched Viser, causing her to groan.

Rias and the others wondered what Naruto was doing until they were shocked to learn that when Naruto pulled Viser's upper body, it separated from the monstrous half, showing off her normal human legs that were covered in goop. The monstrous half flailed around, roaring in anger.

"Looks like it worked." Sonic said leaping away from the lower half with Viser in his arms as it tried to claw at the two. "Rias! Destroy that thing!"

"Uh, r-right!" Rias used her power of destruction to vanquish the monster half as it screamed in pain before nothing remained.

Once Viser's humanoid body separated from her beast body, she stood on her normal human legs. She was about 5'10, an inch shorter than Sonic, and she was also still naked. 

"Alright!" Sonic said before looking at Viser and shook her a little. "Hey, you alright?"

"Hmmm, huh?" Viser groaned, opening her eyes, which once showed anger and malice but now showed calm and gentleness. "W-What happened?"

"You're free now, Viser." Sonic said.

"I-I am? I'm free of that nightmare?!" Viser gasped.

"Yes." Sonic nodded.

"Oh, thank you!" Viser exclaimed, hugging Sonic. "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!"

Sonic blushed beat red as he felt Viser's assets pressed against his chest.

"Um, hello!" Sonic and Viser turned to see the rest of the gang looking towards them with jealousy as they saw Viser still hugging Sonic with her chest against his. Rias looked as if she was demanding an answer. "Just what is going on?!"

"I'll explain everything back at the clubhouse." Sonic said.

Viser was now standing next to Sonic, and she shivered due to the coldness of the building. In a show of kindness, Sonic gave her his blue sweater; she smiled at him and put it on.

It was then that Viser looked among the group and recognized someone.

"Shirone?" Viser asked looking at Koneko.

Koneko stiffened at that name as Rias, Akeno, and Yuto were shocked that Viser knew that name.

"Shirone?" Sonic and Ddraig thought confused.

"How do you know that name?" Koneko demanded.

"I guess you wouldn't recognize me. After all last time we saw each other my hair was short." Viser smiled.

Koneko was confused by that statement and then imagined Viser with short hair, and when she did, she was shocked.

"V-Vivi?" Koneko stuttered.

"Huh?" Everyone blinked.

ORC Club House

"No way! You and Viser were part of the same peerage?!" Rias gawked as did Akeno and Yuto.

In the club house everyone was sitting around discussing on what happened. Viser was sitting between Koneko and Sonic wrapped up in a blanket.

"Yes. We were members of the first peerage I was a part of. She became something of a big sister to me." Koneko said before turning to Viser. "But how did you end up like that, Viser?"

"I ended like that cause of our former king. You may not have realized this, but our king was a heartless experimenter who hid behind a mask of polite devil nobility. He would be in his lab conducting all kinds of experiments to better himself and his name. Not caring for anyone he would hurt." Viser explained.

"Really?" Yumi asked, surprised.

"Yes. In fact how I wound up as you all saw me today was cause I found out his evil plan for Shirone." Viser said.

"What do you mean?" Akeno said in concern.

"I found out that my former king wanted to turn Shirone into a crazed senjutsu weapon that only followed his command. I just managed to tell Kuroka before we were ambushed, and I took an experimental drug that was meant for her as I turned into that monstrosity." Viser said before looking at Koneko. "It's actually the real reason why Kuroka killed him, to protect you Shirone."

Koneko was shocked at what she heard about her sister and what she did for her.

"T-That's not true. S-She lost control of s-senjutsu and became a k-killing machine who a-abandoned me." Koneko stuttered.

"Shirone, is that what you truly believe, or was is something that our former king's peerage told you? Remember this is the same Kuroka who loved you and took care of you after you both lost your parents. She thought the world of you and did what was best to protect you." Viser said.

"B-But she-" Koneko tried to say.

"Think about it, Shirone. If Kuroka has taken you with her you would've had to live life on the road as a criminal being hunted down for the rest of your life. You're sister wouldn't want a life like that for you." Viser said.

Koneko was shocked to hear that and tried to deny it, but the more she thought about it, the more it made sense.

Kuroka was the best sister ever; she was loving and looking out for her. For her to suddenly go crazy with power and abandon her didn't sound like her sister.

It was then that Koneko knew.

"S-She didn't abandon m-me... She l-loved me so m-much to protect me... e-even if I ended up h-hating her." She cried, and a feeling of utter shame came over her.

"Shhh, it's ok, Shirone." Viser soothed, hugging the crying girl in her arms.

Rias, Akeno, and Yuto looked at Koneko in sympathy as she cried her heart out feeling her let the pain she's felt for years.

"Rias, just what happened to Koneko?" Sonic asked, lost on the whole thing.

"You see, Nikki, it's like this..." Rias said.

One Explanation Later

"...And that's what we were told." Rias finished.

"Unbelievable." Sonic sighed, shaking his head.

Just because Kuroka killed her 'innocent king,' the devils decided to practically genocide the whole nekoshou race out of fear, leaving Kuroka and Koneko the only ones left.

To him, it sounds just like what happened to Gerald Robotnik, Maria Robotnik, and Shadow, who were taken down by G.U.N. due to the Black Arms and Emerl.

Typical paranoia.

"So now that Viser is free and we know the truth about Koneko's sister, what do we do now?" Sonic asked Rias.

"I would need to talk to my brother about the situation. But rest assured Viser won't be touched now that we know what we know." Rias answered. 

Sonic asked Viser a question, "How are you feeling?" 

Viser smiled slightly at Sonic, "I'm better now, thank you." 

"Why did you become a devil in the first place?" Sonic asked.

Viser frowned and crossed her arms under her bust. "I made a deal with my former king to save my father's life; he said he would as long as I served him as a member of his peerage." 

Viser let out a bitter laugh, "I agreed my father's life was saved by my King, but then he mysteriously died the day after I became a piece of his peerage." 

Rias frowned; she hated when her fellow devils did that. It went against what she believed as a king and member of the Gremory family. 

Sonic was shocked but relieved that Rias and her family were one of the kinder families in the underworld since they paid their servants and treated them as family. 

"Hey, Viser, are you okay?" Sonic asked in concern, noticing her depression. 

The rest of the group turned to face her and saw a sad smile on her face. She pulled the blanket tighter to her naked body. 

"It's just I've got nowhere to go," Viser said sadly. 

Sonic looked over to her and offered his hand, "you can come with us," he said, smiling at her. 

Viser looked shocked at him. "But I'm not a member of your King's Peerage; I'm just a stray," she whispered to them. 

"Well, the rules of the Underworld say that we have to kill a stray devil, and I no longer sense your former King's Evil Pieces, and we technically did kill a stray devil, and you are no longer a stray devil, just a human," Rias said, seeing the loophole in the system. "I could ask a friend of mine to get you a job at Kuoh Academy," she added. 

Viser thought about it, and she could see that no one in this group would treat her like her old master. 

"Okay, I'll join," Viser said, having decided. 

"Great," Sonic smiled. 

 Sonic's House   

Rias and Akeno were currently with Viser, helping her with finding some suitable clothes for her to wear whilst the others were in the dining area. 

Sonic was in the kitchen cooking. Yumi and Koneko were sitting around the table talking. 

"That was one of the weirdest things I've been involved in ever," Sonic said as he sighed and rested against the wall, waiting for the food to be ready. 

Yumi gave a small giggle. "Well, you never know what your next contract might be." 

Sonic groaned. "I hope I don't get weird requests or another surprise like Azazel." 

Koneko walked in with several trays of food, "Don't worry about that," making Sonic look at her, "Most of the weird ones go once you get a decent amount of repeat requests," she said as she placed the trays down. 

"Really?" Sonic asked in slight shock, hoping he didn't need to do any weirder ones. The other two nodded to him since many of their contracts were from repeat requests. 

Sonic let out another sigh. "That's a relief." All he had to do was get repeat requests, and he was safe. 

"Wow, Sonic, that smells good." The three looked over to the door and saw Rias and Akeno, with Akeno being the one who spoke; behind them was Viser; she was wearing a simple black tank top with a pair of shorts. 

Viser bowed to Sonic. "Thank you for letting me into your home."

Sonic waved her off. "It's fine Viser. No one deserves to be treated badly by their own friends or masters." 

Viser just smiled at him and sat at the table next to Yumi, with Rias and Akeno sitting on both sides of Sonic. The group started to talk about old requests and were having fun.

"Koneko, are you alright?" Rias notices her Rook, who hasn't touched her food.

"I'm ashamed. I grew up with my sister and when things got bad, I doubted her. Kuroka never stopped loving me, even going as far as to be a criminal to protect me." Koneko sniffed. "How can I ever face her?"

"It's alright now, Shirone. You now know the truth and can be better for it." Viser soothed.

"She's right. And we'll do everything to clear your sister's name." Rias promised.

"We've got your back, Koneko. Those in this peerage look out for each other." Yumi said, agreeing.

"Thank you, Rias, Yuto." Koneko smiled before looking at Viser. "And it's nice that we're reunited again, Viser."

"I feel the same, Shirone." Viser smiled.

As the late meal died down, the group moved into the sitting room. To Viser's shock, Sonic had an LG 65" LA970W Ultra HD TV, which was probably one of the most expensive TVs on the market. 

The group soon sat down and watched TV as the last show ended. Rias turned to Viser. "If you don't mind me asking, Viser, what did you do before you became a devil?" 

"I was a doctor. Why?" Viser answered curiously. 

Rias answered with a smile, "Well, you need a cover, so I think that since you used to be a doctor, you could become the doctor at Kuoh Academy." 

Viser was shocked that she was willing to go that far for her, in a quiet voice, everyone heard, "Thank you." 

"No problem, I won't tolerate devils treating their own servants as trash," Rias said seriously, furious at how Viser was treated. 

Viser smiled and looked over the small group in front of her and remembered something. She then walked over to Sonic, kissed him on his cheek, and said with a small blush on her face, "Thank you for saving me from my beast half." 

Sonic blushed a bit but grinned as well and answered, "No problem," but something caught his attention. "Hey, Viser, what was your beast half?" Sonic asked curiously. 

Viser looked at her savior and shook her head. "I don't know. It was something that came after I had killed my previous King," she frowned. "It was almost as if his power was spliced with my own former demonic powers." 

"Hm, that makes some sense," Rias hummed in thought. 

"Do you still have your Evil Piece within you, if you don't mind me asking?" Yumi asked in curiosity since they didn't know if she was a devil after the beast half was gone. 

Viser grinned. She then raised her hands, and everyone saw two soft glows forming on her hands. "My powers revolve around my status as a magician. I can use my magic for certain things, such as using spells, shields, and beams out of my body," she blushed as she remembered where she shot her lasers from; the others knew why she was blushing but didn't mention anything for her sake. 

Sonic nodded at her. "Sounds very deadly," he then grinned at her, which she returned. 

Soon, it was time to sleep, and everyone but Rias, Sonic, and Viser were now in bed. The three were up getting information for Viser's ID. 

"Okay, Viser, we just need you to answer some questions," Rias said, getting a job application for Kuoh Academy.

Viser nodded to the Red-Haired girl, "Alright." 

"Okay, what is your full name?" 

"It's Viser Shirudo," Viser answered.

Rias nodded and wrote it down. Sonic asked the next question, "Where were you born?" 

"Tokyo, Japan," Viser answered.

Rias nodded and wrote the answer down; Sonic then asked the last question, "How old are you, and when is your birthday?" 

"I'm 22 years old, and I was born on the 28th of August," Viser answered.

Rias wrote the answers down and said, "Okay, Viser, I'll be able to get an ID made with this information." 

"Thank you, Ms. Gremory," Viser said, bowing to Rias. "I'm sorry for what I called you when I was still a stray," she apologized. 

Rias just waved her out. "It's alright, Viser, you weren't yourself." 

The three then walked up the stairs. Rias went off to Sonic's room while Sonic showed Viser to her room. 

"This is your room, Viser; we can get you anything you need and want for the room and clothes after school and this weekend," he said to her. 

Viser smiled and bowed to him. "Thank you, Sonic, for everything you have done for me." 

Sonic smiled and waved it off. "Meh, it's fine, Viser." Sonic smiled at her. "Please call me Nikki when we're out in public," he said, having explained to him his origins, shocking her that he was from another world. 

Viser shook her head. "Of course, Sonic," she then stepped into her room, turned, and gave a sultry look at him. "I hope we get along well in the future, master~," she purred before shutting her door.

Sonic face-palmed .  Great, she and Akeno will get along just fine,' he thought. 

He sighed and made his way to his room. Once he stripped out of his clothes, he got into his bed and saw that Rias, Akeno, Yumi, and Koneko were in his bed with a gap in between them where he usually lay. As he climbed into the bed, all four girls moved closer to him to use their healing magic to help him gain his strength back and sighed in happiness. 

Chapter Text

Friday   

ORC Building   

Sonic, Rias, Akeno, and Koneko were the only ones in the ORC Building; Yumi was showing Viser around the school since she was able to get employed as the school doctor, so she now was Dr Viser Shirudo, the school's physician. 

Rias was looking through the requests of the group. Most of the older members it was mainly comments from repeating clients, saying how they were as good as usual and how they would hire them again. 

For Sonic, the comments were fantastic; he got contracts in such a short amount of time and was able to complete them in time, thanks to his super speed. 

She looked over her three members. Akeno was in the small kitchen in the clubhouse, making some sweet treats for the group. Sonic was stretched across on one of the couches, working on his manga, and Koneko was munching on a chocolate bar she had brought earlier. Rias couldn't help but smile as she thought over her peerage; each was precious. 

Her eyes looked back at Sonic, and smiled. She remembered when she saved his life and brought him back as a devil. Her smile grew as she thought about how he got along with her and her peers in a couple of weeks. Her heart fluttered each time he smiled at her. She was hesitant to tell him how she felt for him, Afraid that he would reject her because of the marriage contract she had with Riser. 

"Hey Rias, you alright?" 

Rias was broken from her thoughts as she saw Sonic standing in front of her, with a worried look on his face, and she also spotted that Koneko had left the room; she smiled at him. "I'm fine, Sonic." She said, "I'm just thinking of strategies to handle the fallen angels." 

"Why don't you relax a bit? It's been a long day for all of us." Sonic suggested putting his work away in his book bag 

Rias nodded at the notion since it was a good idea. They soon fell into silence. Sonic decided to lie on the couch, and Rias joined him, resting her head on his right shoulder. 

Koneko and Akeno soon entered the room with some cookies that Akeno had made. Both saw Sonic and Rias's relaxed position; they both felt jealous at looking at Rias' happy face. 

But Akeno woke them up since they had a meeting in a bit. 

A while later, Yumi arrived after helping Viser get used to the school and was currently sitting on one of the three sofas with Rias standing in front of them. Once the central part of the meeting was done, Sonic noticed that the top of his hand was glowing red. 

"Seems like you have another contract," Akeno said. 

"It might not be so bad as the others," Sonic said, having fulfilled contracts where he had to clean their houses, cook for them, and move stuff from them when they moved to another location. 

"See you guys later!" Sonic said before teleporting away. 

"Okay, this is it…" Sonic said to himself as he walked up to the contract address. Sonic then walked up to the front door and knocked a few times. "Hello, I'm one of Rias' servants. Is the client home?" 

There was no response, making Sonic frown. He slowly opened the door and peeked inside. It was an average home with hardwood flooring, and there was a dim light coming from one of the rooms of the house. There was a strange smell along the house. 

"The door was left open? Why?" Sonic questioned. He walked inside, but the moment his foot touched the floor, a sense of foreboding filled his body. "Is there anyone home?" Sonic called out loudly to ensure that someone heard him. Sonic was looking around, trying to see if anyone was home. 

He then followed the dim yellow light on the other end of the house. He approached the area cautiously. Soon, he saw that the light came from several small candles on top of a desk inside the home office. 

'Something's going on here, and it's making my senses go mad,' Sonic said to Ddraig. 'Stay on your toes, partner,' Ddraig warned. 

As he walked forward, Sonic heard a patting noise the base of his shoe made with his step, making Sonic look down to see some liquid on the ground. A large area of the hardwood floor was flooded with a pool of blood, and he looked further into the room to find the source of it all.

Sonic had to look away. He had seen death before but not at this level of brutality while placing a hand over his mouth to prevent throwing up upon the horrific scene. It was a man's dead body, and it was mutilated to the point that it resembled a butchered pig at a meat store. Someone had skinned the man whole, parts of his limbs were scattered along the floor like scrap meat for sale, and his head was severed and placed on his desk chair. What bothered him the most was the two empty eye sockets staring at them like twin dark abysses. 

"W-What is this?!" muttered Sonic as the food he had today wanted to spill out of his stomach. 

An eerily calm voice from the couch makes the duo turn, "Punishment of the wicked…I am quoting the Holy Scripture here." The man had short white hair and red eyes, and the cleric clothes he was wearing made it evident that he was an enemy. The man sighed as he stretched his arms out on the couch and pushed his legs to stand up on his feet. "So, you're the devil this guy tried to summon before I killed him." 

Sonic narrowed his eyes as he stepped back a little. "You're the one who did this?" Sonic asked, referring to the mutilated body on the floor. 

The white-haired man chuckled a little wildly and pulled out a gun and a blade in his hands. "This guy tried to summon an evil bastard like you, so he deserved to die…" muttered the man as he turned to face the blond and the brunette. "But I wanted to have some fun while on the job, so I toyed with his limbs a little." 

Sonic gritted his teeth in anger as he summoned the Boosted Gear to his hand. "You sick bastard!" 

The white-haired man chuckled and shook his head. "I don't see it that way…taking care of you devils and these pathetic humans trying to summon you is my job!" The man's blade suddenly extended further as light covered it entirely. 

"A light-sword?!" growled Sonic as he recalled hearing Rias and Ddraig explain the weaknesses of devils. 

The crazed man had a grin on his face as he pointed his blade at Sonic. "I will pierce your heart with this blade and, with this fabulous gun, score a lovely headshot on your head!" With that, the man leaped at Sonic with his arms pulled back, and he slashed his blade down at the Blue Blur at high speed. 

Sonic jumped out of the way and quickly turned his eyes back to see what the man would do next. 

The white-haired man continued his assault and followed Sonic no matter where he dodged, and the walls around the room became targets for his bullets. 

"Stay still, you disgusting devil!" cried the man angrily as he kept firing his weapon. 

Sonic smirked as he appeared behind the man in his blind spot and slammed his foot into his back. As the man cried out in pain, Sonic ran up and shouted, "Take this, you crazy nutjob!" As he punched the man right in his face, knocking him and several of his teeth to the ground in a heap, the madman's gun went flying as well; Sonic caught the gun and grinned as he looked at the damage done. 

Sonic stepped hard on the man's right hand, shattering some of his bones and stopping his light sword. "Now tell me?" demanded Sonic as he pulled the man by his clergy clothes. "How the hell can you just mutilate and torture a random man like that?" 

The white-haired man grinned and spat on Sonic's face. "Fuck you, it is my job to kill all you devils and devil worshippers!" The man tried to kick Sonic from below, but Sonic saw it coming and stomped on his leg to stop him. "Let me go, and let me kill you!" cried the man crazily. 

Sonic shook his head at the man. "I am bringing you back with me, and I'm sure my friend will give you a proper judgment!" As Sonic was about to knock the man out, someone stood at the room's entrance.

"AAHHHHHH!" cried a very familiar voice. 

Sonic looked up and was shocked when he saw Asia standing before him with her eyes wide in horror. The young nun was dressed the same way she was yesterday, but her face was paler as she looked at the destroyed corpse on the ground. 

The white-haired man saw that Sonic was distracted. With a smirk, he kicked Sonic right in the crotch, followed up with him taking his Exorcist Gun back from Sonic, shooting one of his legs and slashing Sonic's back with his sword, and hit another kick to send him to the ground, getting painful shout from Sonic. The man forced himself up despite the many injuries on his body and pushed Asia to the wall. 

"You dumb bitch!" cried the man as he slapped her across the face. "Where the fuck, were you when I was getting beat up?!" 

Asia had tears in her eyes as she cradled herself on the ground. "F-Father Freed…" 

The newly named Freed grunted as he used his heavily wounded right hand to grip his light sword. "Get the damn head in the game and ignore that useless son of a bitch on the ground; just help me kill the damn devil!" 

Asia looked over at Sonic, who was back on his feet, "N-Nikki?" 

Sonic glared at Freed, who chuckled. "Oh, you know each other already?" asked the man with an annoying laugh. "But I bet you didn't know this young man was a devil." 

Asia looked shocked as she stared up at her new friend. "You're a Devil?" 

Sonic looked at the girl apologetically. "I'm sorry, Asia. I didn't mean to hide it from you, but it is not something that I can say to everyone." 

Freed chuckled and shook his head. "That's enough talking!" howled the man as he grabbed Asia and held her in front of him with her blade at her throat. "I need to get out of here, and you will help me!" 

"What are you doing, Father Freed?!" cried Asia in fright as she felt Freed's blade cut her neck a little. 

Sonic was beating himself up mentally for letting the man catch him off guard. "Freed, you coward, let her go and fight me alone!" Sonic yelled at the crazed priest. 

Freed chuckled as he slowly licked the side of Asia's face, making her cringe in disgust. "No, thank you. I don't want to be killed by a devil, especially not a pathetic Devil like you who would care about a little nun on our side…" The white-haired man's blade was very close to Asia's jugular vein, "Oh, I'm a sorry little girl, but apparently, this devil cares about you and would let me go if I used you as a shield," Freed looked over at the devil duo with a casual smirk, "So yeah, if you come any closer I will kill her…either of you will kill me afterward, but having someone as pretty as her die with me is a pretty good way to go!" 

If it were a normal situation, Sonic would have called the man's bluff since if he did kill Asia, he would lose his only bargaining chip, but he deduced that Freed was just a psycho and would go through with what he said. 

"Fine…just go," muttered Sonic slowly with his eyes barring into Freed's own. Sonic was slowly gathering power to grab Asia when there was an opening. Even with his healing factor, the injuries that he received from Freed's weapons were still hurting him as hell.

Freed chuckled and jumped around a little giddily with Asia in his arms. "Oh, you are such a stupid devil!" screamed the man with a roaring laugh as Asia cried where she stood. "I want to have some more fun with you!" Freed suddenly slashed the top of Asia's nun outfit in half, exposing her C-Cup breasts to Sonic. 

"Ahhh!" cried Asia, covering herself from Freed and Sonic. Freed started to grope Asia's breast, making her sob. "Stop! Please don't hurt me!" Asia pleaded with tears going down her cheeks. 

"Nuh-uh! Do you know what happens to little girls?" Freed asked mockingly as he licked her breasts, making her shiver in fear and sob a bit.

 Sonic got furious at what Freed was doing to Asia. "You asshole!" Sonic shouted before spinning and dashing toward Freed. 

"What!" the madman cried as he was sent flying to the other side of the room 

"You alright, Asia?" Sonic asked, giving his blazer to Asia to cover herself. "Yes. Thank You, Nikki." Asia whimpered, blushing at him and wiping her tears away. 

Sonic and Asia then noticed the red Magic Circle in front of him. Sonic was relieved when he saw Yumi, Koneko, Akeno, and Rias walk out of it and into the room. Koneko looked worried as she walked over to Sonic to see if he was alright, to which the Blue Blur just nodded with a small smile. 

"My-my, you've sure have gotten into an interesting situation," said a carefree Akeno as she stood beside Sonic. 

"What took you guys?" Sonic asked as he set Asia onto her feet, but she leaned into his side. 

Rias stood next to Sonic. "Are you both alright?" 

Sonic grinned. "Of course, Ri." 

Asia was holding Sonic's arm for support. "You're a devil, too?" 

The red-haired beauty nodded at the girl with her hands on her hips. "Yes, we are Devils." 

"Hehehehe!" laughed a delighted Freed as he stood up with his gun. "All the Devils are here in one place. I am fortunate tonight!" before anyone could move, he shot Sonic, still weakened from Freed's Light Gun and Light Sword, through his legs and stomach, making him fall to the floor. "AH!" he screamed in agony. 

"Sonic!" cried most of the group. 

Sonic threw a couple of his chaos spears at Freed. He jumped out of the way, but suddenly, a blast of red and black fire rushed towards Freed as he was in mid-air, forcing him to backflip back to the ground. 

Looking at the source of the attack, the man saw Rias holding her palm out towards him with a scowl on her face. 

"You should just disappear, Exorcist!" muttered the beauty with a dangerous edge in her voice. "You tried to hurt my handsome pawn, and for that, I will make you pay." A powerful red aura started to shroud Rias as she glared at Freed with glowing red eyes.

Sonic looked at his leader in surprise as Yumi helped him move back to the rest of the group and helped lean him against a wall. "Ri…" 

Sonic looked at his friend with a soft smile. He learned that she only got like this when her friends and loved ones were attacked. 

Freed staggered back a little at the oppressive power Rias was emitting. "You are the real deal…maybe I should leave when I have the chance." At that moment, a purple wormhole opened above Freed, and he felt a sudden rush of relief surge. "I thought I would have to fight out of this mess." He then jumped into the wormhole and disappeared from the house, leaving the nun and the devils behind. The group then sensed incoming hostiles but knew they were a reasonable distance away. 

Asia, feeling a bit better, spotted Sonic and cried, "Nikki!" Asia called out before slowly approaching his side, "I'm so sorry." 

"No, I'm the one who should be sorry. I should have seen him standing, but I'm glad you're safe now." Sonic smiled before looking at his friends, "Thanks, guys." 

"It's no big deal; I'm sure you did great yourself in the fight despite your injuries, Sonic." Rias then turned back to Asia. "Asia, do you think your powers can heal Sonic's wounds?" 

The girl looked up at Ria's in surprise, which was mirrored by the others, before nodding her head. "Of course, I'll get right on it." Turning back to Sonic, she held her hands and summoned her rings. A green glow emitted from her hands and covered Sonic, and to everyone's surprise, except Sonic, started healing him. 

"Interesting, so her healing isn't limited to humans and beings of light," Rias deduced as she and the others watched Sonic's injuries disappear. "Twilight Healing" 

The wound in Sonic's stomach disappeared, and the wounds on his legs were starting to heal, but he needed some assistance to walk, which Yumi gladly helped with. 

Koneko frowned as she stood beside her leader, "Fallen Angels…several of them." Yumi and Sonic nodded as they sensed the same thing: the hostiles had arrived. 

"What should we do, President?" asked Akeno in a casual voice. But both Sonic and Rias could tell she was worried underneath her tone. 

Rias sighed as she crossed her arms. "The main objective is to bring Sonic back, so we should leave and avoid confrontation with the Fallen Angels in the middle of this large neighborhood." The red-haired beauty looked at her queen. "Akeno, prepare a jump for us." 

"Yes, President!" Akeno stretched her arms out in front of her and formed the transportation Circle in front of them. 

"No, wait!" Sonic's eyes widened as he held on to Yumi. His allies turned to look at the brunette. "We have to bring Asia back with us!" The blond girl had a surprised look on her face as she looked up at Sonic with a few tears in her eyes. 

"I want to bring her back as well, but unfortunately, this spell will only work on people of my Peerage," Rias replied while closing her eyes. 

"No way… then leave me here to help her escape!" Sonic yelled to Rias, mentally wondering why she was smiling. "We can't leave her alone!" 

Rias turned to Sonic, "I never said we would leave her." 

"Huh?" 

Sonic saw Rias smiling at him. "You will take her," she said, causing Sonic to smile at her, realizing what it meant. 

Sonic turned to Asia and asked, "Do you trust me, Asia?" the younger blonde looked at him with a smile and nodded yes. 

Sonic picked up Asia's bridal style, turned to the others, and spoke, "See you back at the clubhouse." 

Sonic then closed his eyes and concentrated. "Chaos Control!" Sonic said, teleporting him and Asia to safety. 

Rias and her peerage then teleported away. 

Kuoh Academy   

ORC Building   

Sonic set Asia down on one of the sofas. "Are you okay, Asia?" 

Asia nodded to him but looked down at the floor, making Sonic frown. Asia then felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up at Sonic and saw him giving her a warm smile. "Nikki…?" 

"Asia, you're safe here, and I will protect you, I promise you," Sonic said, smiling at her. 

"Really?" the blonde looked into Sonic's piercing green eyes and saw he was telling the truth. 

Sonic grinned at her. "Of course, stop looking so sad. Someone as cute as you shouldn't be sad. Smile!" 

Asia giggled and smiled brightly at Sonic. "Okay, Nikki," 

Sonic's smile grew more prominent as he saw she was more relaxed, "Good now, is there anything you wish to drink?" 

She shook her head and politely answered, "No, thank you". 

They both then saw the magic circle appear in the room. Sonic stood weakly and went to greet the others. 

"Good to see that you are in one piece, Sonic~" Akeno teased with her tongue out. 

"Haha, very funny, you crazy dominatrix," Sonic retorted. 

"The healing capabilities of Twilight Healing are awe-inspiring. Nothing is remaining." Rias said as she examined Sonic's stomach where he had been shot, "I won't even have to use my power to heal Sonic either." 

After the others had arrived back at the ORC Building, the first thing they did was make sure that Sonic was fine. After all, a Devil doesn't usually get shot by a holy gun three times and gets healed almost immediately after unless you're an alien with an advanced healing factor. 

"It's nothing. I'm just glad I was able to help." Asia replied with a smile and a slight blush. Yumi and Koneko were sitting on the couch opposite the girl. Akeno, Sonic, and Viser were on the middle couch, with Viser frowning and glaring at Asia, who was sitting close to Sonic.

"Seems like someone's jealous~" Sonic teased.

Viser blushed and glared at her friend. "Shut up, Sonic." Making both Sonic and Akeno chuckle at her, much to Asia's confusion about why Nikki was called Sonic. 

Rias stood up and looked at Sonic, "Sonic, what did you think of that man Freed?" 

Sonic thought for a while. "Since he murdered my client, he has to be a Stray Exorcist, considering he was in league with the fallen angels." 

Making all but Asia nod in agreement. 

"Wish I had killed him before he could escape," Sonic said, making the others look at him. 

"So, you wanted Freed dead?" Asia asked as she turned to Sonic. 

"Yeah, I got a feeling that he's going to create problems later on," Sonic said as he looked at Asia, "I won't say that I would have enjoyed killing him, but I also won't regret stopping him from hurting my friends in the future and after what he did to you," Sonic growled, his hair turning dark blue and eyes turning white for a brief moment, remembering what Freed did to Asia and what else he would have done to her if Rias and the others didn't came.

Asia was silent momentarily before speaking again, "I understand, Nikki. You needed to protect the people close to you, after all." 

"And you're included in that," Sonic replied with a smile, which surprised Asia. 

Sonic then walked over to Asia and sat next to her. He then looked at her with a severe expression. "Asia, this might sound stupid, but did you know what the fallen angels were doing?" 

"No, I had no idea they were going around and killing people. I could never be a part of that…" Asia replied with a sad expression on her face, tearfully thinking back to the horrible condition of the person Freed had killed. 

"Asia," Rias called out, making the girl look toward the buxom Devil. "If you don't mind, tell me why you are with the Fallen Angels. And it must've been a while since your powers had caught their attention, so how long have you been able to use your power?" 

The blonde girl seemed hesitant to speak but felt a hand on her shoulder. She saw Sonic giving her a comforting smile, "Don't worry, Asia. We want to know the whole story so we can help. The more information we have, the better we know about the situation and how to handle things." Asia paused for a few seconds before nodding her head. 

"It all started when I was around eight years old," Asia started as everyone moved to sit around her. Viser sat next to Sonic on the arm of the sofa, with Akeno doing the same on the other side; Yumi and Koneko stayed on their sofa opposite her, and Rias sat beside Sonic. 

"Like I had said when we met Nikki, I have been with the church all my life, ever since my parents abandoned me right after I was born. I was told I had been found crying in front of a small European town's church, and I grew up in the orphanage there. When I was eight, a wounded puppy wandered into the church. Seeing that it was dying, I prayed as hard as I could for it to live. That's when a miracle occurred, and the puppy had been completely healed." 

'  That must've been her sacred gear awakening.' Rias thought with narrowed eyes. When she researched sacred gears, she read that it wasn't uncommon for some humans to unlock their sacred gears at an early age. 

"After the church learned about my power, the church treated me like a saint, and I was worshiped. After that, I was taken to a big church where I was ordered to heal the illnesses and wounds of many different Christians. Thankfully, they were completely healed." As Asia continued her story, her head bowed slightly as she recalled all those years ago. "The church guarded me heavily and treated me well. I was so happy that my power could help people and was very grateful to God, who blessed me with this power that could help others. My heart was filled with happiness. But everyone at the church would always look at me differently, and I couldn't help but start to feel lonely." 

Sonic's eyes grow sad as Shadow experiences the same thing in the Ark but the reverse of Asia. Shadow was created to be used as a weapon. He was lucky to have Maria and Professor Gerald back then; otherwise, he would have become something worse for Black Doom to control. 

"And that's how you wound up getting picked up by Fallen Angels." Viser deduced as she shifted in her seat. The girl slowly nodded before her gaze went down to her hands. 

"One day, I encountered a man who collapsed on the floor, heavily injured, and I used my power to save him. But the man I came across was…" 

"It was a devil, correct?" Rias questioned as she placed her arms on her lap. 

Asia nodded as she twiddled around with her hands. "Yes, and when the church found out that I healed a devil, they kicked me out and branded me as a Heretic." The girl looked back up at everyone, a sad smile on her face. 

Sonic's fist clenched so much that his knuckles turned white. He had dug his nails so much into his hand that it had started to bleed, 'Those assholes had use Asia like some kind of tool, and as soon as she had done something they didn't like, they threw her away, if I ever meet the bastards that did that I'm going to show them a lesson' Sonic thought darkly. 

Sonic broke from his thoughts as Asia continued, unaware of Sonic's thoughts: "I was sent away from Europe and to Japan, and when I got here, I was ordered to go the town church to work as a nun." 

"And that's how you wound up getting picked up by fallen angels." Akeno deduced as she shifted in her seat. 

Asia nodded her head, "Yes…" 

The group fell into silence after that for a few minutes. Koneko spoke up, "So what do we do now?" When everyone looked at her confused, she continued, "We technically brought an enemy to devil territory." 

"What? But Asia isn't our enemy," Sonic exclaimed as he shot out of his seat. "She was the one that healed me even when she found out all of us were devils." 

"No, Koneko is right." Rias said as she stood from the couch, closing her eyes and crossing her arms. "Even if we don't want to admit it, Asia is a member of the church and an enemy to us devils. And not only did we take her with us, but we are also helping her. That kind of thing might cause some conflict between the Angel and Devil Factions." 

Sonic frowned; it was confirmed it could cause some form of conflict, but no matter what, he would protect her as he had promised her. 

"But we can't let her go back. Who knows what they'll do to her for helping us." Sonic argued. 

Rias sighed in sadness. "I know, but unfortunately, there is not much we can do, Sonic, not without the possibility of causing a war," Rias responded. A tone of regret was heard in her voice. 

"There might be something," Sonic said from his spot, making everyone look at him. "You guys know what I'm talking about, right?" he asked his fellow devils. 

Rias stared at him for a few seconds before she nodded her head, "I'll admit it did cross my mind, though it's not something that is usually done, and Asia's healing ability could become usual to the peerage later on." 

"President, are you talking about using an Evil Piece?" Yumi asked in surprise. Asia looked over the group with a confused look. 

"What's an Evil Piece?" She asked while tilting her head to the side. 

No one answered the question, however; Rias moved closer to Asia and crouched slightly to the blonde. "Asia, you know that most fallen angels are only allied with you because of your power, don't you?" Rias asked, to which the nun nodded her head sadly. "And like you already said, you don't agree with their goals or methods. This means they'll try and take your sacred gear away from you by force, and if that happens, you'll die." 

"Yes, I had a feeling that was the case," Asia answered as her gaze shifted to her hands resting in her lap. 

Rias knew that she would have to tell Asia the hard truth: "I will be frank with you, Asia; there are a few options that you can choose from at the moment. The first is that you get returned to the church and the fallen angels, and then two things will happen: you die, and the other is that you are forced to work under a spell. However, with that option, it is more than likely that they will take your sacred gear away from you and kill you in the process…" Rias said as she continued telling the blond nun her only options. "Your other option is…" 

"My other option… what is it?" Asia asked shakily since the first choice seemed to be horrible. 

"Become a devil and join my peerage as one of my servants. This will not only give you protection from the fallen angels, but it also means that you'll have a better chance at surviving." Rias finished as she crossed her arms. Like she had said before, it was something that didn't happen often, turning someone from the church into a devil. 

"Are those my only choices?" Asia questioned as her body shook. Her only options were either going back to the church and taking a fifty-fifty chance of being killed or becoming a devil so she could be safe. 

"I'm sorry, but with how these people are and with us not being able to do much else, the choices are limited," Rias said as she reached out and touched her shoulder. "It is your decision on what you want to do, Asia?" 

The girl stared down at the ground for a few minutes. "I'm sorry, but could I have time to think about this?" 

"Asia…" 

"Sure, you can," Sonic interrupted Rias. She took her turn to look at her pawn and saw he was shaking his head at her, silently telling her not to force the girl. "But you won't have much time, Asia, especially with the fallen angels after you." 

Rias nodded her head at his words, "Yes, I'd give it about a day or so." She stood up and turned away from the girl, "I know this is a tough decision for you, so I'll give you until midnight tomorrow to give me your answer. Is that alright?" 

Asia nodded. "Yes, I will have an answer by then," Asia replied as she bowed. Things were changing so quickly for her. First, she makes a friend and joins the local church, and then she finds out what the people she worked with indeed did to innocent people. Then she learns that the first friend she had met was a devil, and now she is being offered to become one herself. 

"Good, then you'll stay with me for the night," Sonic said as he moved away from his spot and walked up to the girl. 

"Huh," said a few people in the room, looking at Sonic in surprise. 

"Are you sure, Sonic?" Rias had a concerned look on her face as Sonic stopped next to her and Asia. She knows the church might do something if they found out where Asia was. 

Sonic shook his head, "True, Rias, but I promised to protect her so that it will be fine, Rias." 

Rias sighed. She learned that when Sonic made a promise, he would go to the end of the earth to go through with it. "Okay, Sonic," Rias said as she stared into his eyes. Sonic flashed her a grin, making her smile in turn. 

"Tomorrow is a free day, which gives us plenty of time to keep off the fallen angel's radar. Also, they would have to be idiots to try and attack the home of the Gremory Heiress and her Peerage." Seeing that his words helped Rias feel a bit better, he turned to look at the nun, "Are you okay with this, Asia?" 

"Um, I… don't want to be a bother," Asia said as she nervously poked her fingers together. 

"You want to be a bother, and you're welcome to stay with us," Sonic said with a grin. 

"Are you sure?" Asia looked a little hesitant. 

"Of course, and don't worry, I won't let anything bad happen to you. Remember, I promised you." Asia smiled at Sonic and surprised him with a hug, making the Blue Blur chuckle and hug her back. 

As they broke apart, Asia looked at Sonic. "Um, Nikki?" making Sonic look at her questioningly. 

"Could you show me around town tomorrow?" she asked while nervously poking her fingers together. 

Sonic smiled slightly. "Sure, Asia." 

Making the nun smile brightly, Sonic then teleported himself and Asia away. 

Rias dismissed the rest of the group and then teleported home herself. 

Sonic's House   

Sonic showed Asia a room she could sleep in; Viser had provided her with some PJs. They were blue and had little birds on them. 

"This is your room, Asia." 

"Thank you, Nikki." The girl smiled as she sat on the bed, but slowly, her smile turned softer and sadder. 

"Asia, are you okay?" Sonic stared at the girl sitting on the bed, wondering what was going through her mind. 

She looked up at him with that same smile, the one she had that morning when they first met. "You know, Sonic, even with all the things that have happened to me, I never stopped praying to God, expressing my gratitude." 

Sonic frowned at her words, "Asia…" 

"There were many times when I thought the Lord must be testing me. Even now, I have faith in that." She brought her hands up in a praying manner, "I believe that maybe… if I can overcome this ordeal, he will make my dream come true someday." 

"Your dream, what is it?" Sonic asked, his eyes narrowed a little as he saw tears starting to fall from Asia. 

"That I'll be able to make many friends," The girl answered, surprising Sonic a little at the odd dream. "We would go buy flowers and books together and chat about so many things." Sonic smiled softly at the girl as he walked closer, stopping before her. "That is my dream," Asia looked at Sonic with a sad smile. "I don't have any friends, you see." 

"What are you talking about?" Sonic smiled back before he crouched down and placed his hands over hers, surprising her as he did all this. "You already made that dream come true on your own. You've got me, Rias, Akeno, and the others. We're all your friends, aren't we?" He took one of his hands away from hers and brought it to her face, wiping away her tears. "So, from now on, we can all buy flowers and books together whenever you want, and I'll chat with you every day for as long as you'd like," he proclaimed with a grin. 

"Nikki…" Asia whispered as she unclasped her hands and reached up one of her hands to the hand on her face. There was that feeling again, like this warm presence was protecting her. "But could we still be friends even if we were on opposite sides?" 

"Of course, whatever your choice is tomorrow, I will stand by what I said. I will always be your friend." Sonic moved his arms around her and brought her into a comforting hug. "So, promise me you'll continue to smile despite things going bad for you, okay?" 

Asia stiffened at Sonic's words and felt her whole body tremble. She moved her arms around the man and held him as tightly as possible. Crying into his chest and letting out all the pain she had gone through since she was a little girl. The most significant truth about Asia was that she had always wanted family and friends, people that would be there for her. And here Sonic was, giving her both in just one day. At the moment, it didn't matter that she was a nun, nor did it matter that he was a devil; everything about the supernatural world was blocked out as the young woman cried her eyes out on her friend's chest. 

"Thank you, Nikki," Asia said after a few minutes, finally calming down enough to speak. Suddenly, she could feel her eyes start to get heavy. Sonic had discreetly used his psychokinesis to make her fall asleep. She needed some rest after the day she just had. 

After helping her into the bed, Sonic brushed her hair a bit before smiling at Asia. "I'll see you in the morning, Asia. Sweet dreams." 

"Goodnight, Nikki." A second later, Asia was out like a light. He shook his head, smiling to himself as he stood up. "Yeah, goodnight." Making his way out of the room, Sonic turned off the light and softly closed the door, leaving the slumbering blond to enjoy her dreams.

As Sonic walked down the stairs and walked into the sitting room, he saw Viser in her PJs watching TV.

"You alright, Viser? You've been very quiet ever since we got home." 

Viser sighed. "It's just I feel that things are going to get more complicated and harder from here on out." 

Sonic raised an eyebrow. "You mean because of Asia?" 

"Partly," she paused to gather her thoughts, "I think that with the situation with Asia and the whole thing with the fallen angels, it feels like a massive sign of something is going to happen." 

Sonic nodded; it was confirmed it did feel like something was about to happen. He grinned at her. "So it's not because of you being jealous of Asia?" he joked to his friend. 

Viser blushed at that. She hated it when he brought up her feelings for the Blue Blur. It wasn't her fault she had a crush on someone who saved her life. She then glared at him and shoved him. "Shut up, Sonic." 

Sonic just laughed at her blushing face. Once he had finished, they then sat watching TV in a comfortable silence. 

After a while, Rias, Akeno, Yumi, and Koneko arrived home and joined them watching TV. 

"Where were you guys?" Sonic asked curiously. 

"We were getting some things for Asia," Rias answered. 

Sonic nodded and thanked the girls. Both Rias and her peerage had decided to allow Sonic to take Asia out tomorrow without any of them following them. Sonic agreed but planned to notify them during the day. 

Next Day   

Mid-Day   

Kuoh Town   

Sonic and Asia were currently on their way to get some lunch. Sonic was wearing a dark blue long-sleeved t-shirt under an open short-sleeved shirt with a pair of blue jeans and a pair of red pumas. Asia was wearing a yellow sundress under a black jacket whose sleeves reached down to her elbows with a pair of sandals on her feet, and had a small bag over her shoulder. 

Sonic had just shown Asia around the different sights of the small town where they were having fun. 

As they neared the place, Sonic was taking Asia for something to eat. They entered Sonic (The Restaurant), and they went outside. Sonic had paid for their orders, and they sat down at a table. 

"Is something wrong with your food, Asia?" Sonic asked, looking at Asia, sitting on the other side of the table, staring at her food with a confused look. 

"Um… are there any forks and knives around?" Asia asked timidly. 

"You don't need stuff like that for this meal," Sonic said as he sipped his drink. 

"Really?" Asia tilted her head in confusion. 

"Here's how you eat them, Asia." Sonic said, picking up his chili dog and beginning to eat it, "See?" 

"I-I never would've guessed they could be eaten like that!" Asia asked, looking amazed, "Amazing! Then I better wash my hands." 

Sonic couldn't help but sweat drop when Asia took a water bottle from her small bag. Sonic sighed as he looked at the girl, who would wash her hands with water over something like a chili dog, which was too much. 

"If you want to clean your hands, why don't you use these? They're called disinfectant wipes, and they kill germs." Sonic held out a packet of wipes, which she accepted and used to wipe her hands. When she was finished, the nun proudly held up her sparkling hands with pride on her face. "Um…good job," Sonic said as more sweat drops reappeared on his head, "I didn't think anyone could get that clean from just a few wipes." 

Asia then put her hands together, "Now then, I should pray before the meal, Dear Lord…" After a minute or two, Asia had finished her prayers and lifted her chili dog to her mouth; unknown to her, Sonic was holding his head in slight pain since he was near a prayer to the biblical God. 

After a few seconds, she finally took a bite of her chili dog. Her eyes widened in delight as she took another bite, "It's so delicious. I've never had anything like this before!" Making Sonic chuckle at her eyes since they were shining like stars. 

"I'm glad you like it. Well then, let's finish our food." Sonic grinned, "The quicker we finish up here, the sooner we can go to a place that I bet you'll like." 

"Eh?" Asia blinked a few times with a confused look as she stared at Sonic. Almost twenty minutes later, her confusion disappeared as they widened in awe. In front of her was a place filled with all sorts of machines and flashing lights, and there were a lot of teens of all ages inside. "Nikki, what is this place?" Asia asked, using Sonic's fake name after being told he was from a different world. 

"This is an arcade, and it's filled with all sorts of video games and other fun stuff," Sonic explained as he turned to Asia, who had a look of amazement. "So, what do you say? Want to go inside?" 

"Huh?" 

"Come on, you've got to enjoy the different experiences life gives you," Sonic told her as he held out his hand. 

"Y-Yes!" Asia replied as a smile grew on her face, and she reached up and grabbed Sonic's hand as they went inside. 

The duo then spent several hours in the arcade center playing all sorts of video games. Sonic introduced Asia to almost every game in the arcade, such as shooting and fighting games. The next thing he showed her was a racing game. Asia didn't do too well on that one at first because she kept crashing her car into the walls several times, but eventually, she managed to get the hang of it. 

Sonic then took Asia to a dancing game called Dance-Dance Revolution, which Asia seemed to enjoy a lot and became a much better dancer than they had expected as she and Sonic danced side-by-side. Still, one of the highlights of the arcade was the photo booth, where they made silly faces at the camera as they printed enough photos for every member of the peerage. 

"I hope you enjoyed yourself, Asia," Sonic said as he looked at her. He saw that Asia had a small yellow and black creature named Ratchu in her arms, which, for some reason, reminded him of Pikachu. Sonic had won it from a crane game near the exit and had given it to Asia as a present. 

"Yes, I did, Nikki," as she squashed Ratchu in her arms 

At that moment, they were walking toward the park, enjoying the peace, as the road they were walking on was empty, with no one in sight. 

The duo walked around the park for a bit, and then they settled down on a park bench after hours of continuous fun. And Asia had a bright smile as she swung her legs around casually. 

Sonic smiled as he sat next to Asia, "After we rest, do you want to go and get dinner since it is late?" 

The blond smiled and nodded to Sonic. 

Making the Blue Blur smile, "Great, then let's g-" 

A sense of foreboding suddenly rushed through Sonic's senses, and he instinctively turned around to see if anything was going to harm him since he had experienced someone trying to kill him. His eyes widened at the sight of a winged figure standing in the middle of the fountain with her arms crossed, and he instantly recognized her as Issei's killer. 

"Lady Raynare!" said Asia with a shocked look. 

Sonic saw that Raynare was wearing black leather strap-like objects around her F-Cup breasts that only covered the area around her nipples, a thong-like piece held around her hips by three thin straps, gloves that ran right up her arms with small lengths of chains hanging from them with a shoulder guard-like objects on her shoulders with three large spikes sprouting from her right shoulder, and black thigh-high heel boots. He also noticed that she didn't have the pink bracelet on her left wrist that Issei had brought her during their date before his death. 

"So, the rumors about your downward spiral into the wickedness of devils are true, and I had such high hopes don't even try to run Asia." Raynara threatens Asia. 

"Begone, I want no part of the evil you and the other angels are up to. We ran away. I'm sorry, but I couldn't stand to be around them anymore." Asia said sadly. 

She got a good look at Sonic, and a smirk of approval appeared. Despite his casual outfit, he gave off a mysterious vibe, and not an inch of fear could be felt from him. Her favorite guys have always been the confident and courageous types."Ooh, a new face in town. I haven't seen you before. You got a name, hon?" 

"The name is Nikki Kaosu. I'm the person who was reincarnated in Issei's place after you killed him," Sonic said, glaring at Raynare. 

Raynare's smile grew that of a lustful predator as she placed a finger on her lips and batted her eyes while making a sexy pose, "So you took that pervert's place, huh? In the place of the idiotic pervert is a confident and courageous man. Me like~." 

Sonic remains unfazed by her sudden movements, which only fuel Raynare's lust. 

"Such a tough exterior. I wonder how easily it will fall once I finish playing with it?" She sighed as she pointed her spear at him, "Unfortunately, I won't be able to find out. It would be best if you hadn't come here; I can't leave any witnesses, so you have to die. Sorry, hon, if only we met a little later." 

"Asia, stay back!" Sonic shouted to Asia, who nodded at him as she ran behind several trees. 

Raynare flew over at impressive speed, ready to stab the teen; however, her attempt was quickly thwarted. Sonic spun around her and grabbed her left wing. Raynare's eyes widened in shock before she felt a tight squeeze on her wing. The wings of her kind were extremely sensitive, and her expression of pain proved it. Sonic then lifted in the air, only to slam her to the ground behind him. He forced her to stand before laying a few jabs at her. His last strike pushed her back a little despite using her arms to shield herself. Sonic straightened himself while watching Raynare giggle. They became louder as she lowered her arms to reveal her sinister smile. 

"Hmm, not bad, hon, not bad at all," she praised while brushing the dust off her. "Perhaps I should take you with me instead of killing you. You will make a fine servant indeed~." 

Sonic watched her summon her light spear before calling his ring blades. "Bring it, crow," Sonic said, gesturing to her. 

"Hehehehe, I'm so going to enjoy this," she said before lunging at him. 

Sonic shifted his body from left to right to avoid the barrage of strikes. Raynare then delivered a high spin kick to his head, but Sonic used his forearm to block. Next, he threw her to the ground and pinned her down by wrapping an arm around her neck along with pressing his knee on her back and bending her right knee up. Instead of croaking in pain, Raynare was enjoying herself. His refusal to come quietly only fuels her interest, but how he pins her down skyrockets her interest tenfold. After all, she was a masochist. 

"  As much I would love to stay in this position, I don't have time for this.  "   With her free hand, she summoned her spear and tried to hit Sonic. Luckily, he saw it and vibrated his body to phase through it. 

It wasn't long before the two clashed again. Sonic continued to avoid her spear strikes and block her kicks. During the clash, Raynare couldn't believe how long this was taking her. This human, this average human, can fight her as an equal without using sacred gear. It was unbelievable, but sadly, she wasn't dealing with an average human. 

Sonic could tell she was getting severe now by the look in her eyes. Unfortunately, he wasn't taking this seriously at all. Her attack patterns were easily predictable and so obsolete that even Cream and Charmy could take her down. Deciding it was time to end this, he punched Raynare hard in the guts, providing distance between them. Raynare would retaliate when she noticed Sonic charging a blue sphere on his palm. Her sudden curiosity left her open, allowing Sonic to lift his left arm and fire. A light blue halo beam's sonic burst hit Raynare, sending her into a tree. 

She rubbed her head to dull the pain, "What hit me?" 

Sadly, the blast hit her again, only this time it was powerful and harder. The impact was so strong it pinned her to the tree. Sonic slowly walked forward to her. Raynare fell to her knees, panting in pain. She lifted her head to see the teen standing before her until he kneeled. Before she could say anything, a sharp, intense pain flowed through her body and stiffened. Sonic delivered a powerful punch to her guts, making her fall unconsciously. That last punch was able to force her to lose consciousness. 

Sonic looked over the area he was in and searched if anyone else was Raynare. Luckily, no one was there. 

"Asia, the close is clear!" Sonic shouted. Asia ran out from her hiding spot and stood close to Sonic's side. 

"Is it over?" Asia asked, grabbing Sonic's arm. 

"Yeah. For now," Sonic answered. 

Sonic grabbed Raynare and teleported himself, Asia, and Raynare away. 

Sonic's House   

Slowly opening her eyes, Raynare noticed she was inside a room with a single light on. It seemed like she was in the attic. She tried to get up only to have something tied her down. She was restrained onto a table by metal bands around her ankles and wrists. Desperately, she tried to break free, but it was all for naught. 

"I see you are finally awake," a mysterious voice entered the room. 

She looked around only to see three figures, none other than Sonic and Viser, along with Rias, Sona, and their peers. Her attention was mainly focused on the Blue Blur, who beat her back at the park. Her pride was deeply wounded, but this wasn't the time to think about her pride. 

"What do you want?" 

"We just need some information from you, that's all," Sona replied. 

"I will never cooperate!" 

"Sonic does not require your cooperation to cipher your knowledge," Rias revealed. 

Sonic touched Raynare's and used his new psychic abilities to enter her mind. Raynare felt a surge through her brain, causing her eyes to widen for just a brief moment before falling unconscious. After a couple of minutes, Sonic took his hands off Raynare, who was still out. 

"Sonic, what have you learned?" Sona demanded as he placed his hands behind his back. 

"That she is just a pawn in a much larger game." 

This piqued Sona's curiosity along with Rias'. "Explain." 

"Raynare came here to keep an eye on Issei to ensure his sacred gear remains dormant, Azazel. The reason is because there is a high risk for him to lose control or go berserk. She was never ordered to kill him." 

"What is her reasoning then?" Sona said while narrowing her eyes. 

"She did it because someone manipulated her to do so. She recently received new orders to kill Issei. She was initially confused, but one of her comrades convinced her to go through with it by eluding her that she would get a reward for completing it." 

"Who gave these new orders?" Rias asked seriously. 

"Dohnaseek, who his boss, Kokabiel, told. He is one of the leaders of the Fallen Angels and Grigori. From what I managed to get from her memories, he is a warmonger on bad terms with Azazel." Sonic said. 

"Interesting; why did this Azazel order this reconnaissance mission?" Sona asked, still unsure if Azazel could be trusted. 

"Surprisingly, aside from being the leader of Grigori, he is a researcher for sacred gears, and he brings in any person with a sacred gear into the Grigori to train them to study their sacred gear further," Sonic said to them. 

"Interesting," Sona whispered. Azazel was telling the truth about a rogue element in Grigori. She could quickly figure out why Kokabiel and Azazel have an ill relationship. Kokabiel must see Azazel as a weakling for using his resources to study these sacred gears and bring in humans. Since he ordered to kill Issei, he must prepare to betray Azazel soon and take his place, along with starting a war with the other Factions. 

"I see," Rias said, thinking deeply of the situation. 

"Tomorrow, we need to raid the old church before any more innocent lives will get taken away by the rogue faction," Sona said. 

"Don't need to tell me twice," Sonic said, smirking, ready to kick some ass. 

Rias felt Asia tapping her shoulder. Rias looked at her in confusion. 

"What can I help you with, Asia?" Rias asked. 

Asia took a deep breath and shut her eyes as if working up her courage. 

When her eyes snapped open, she loudly cried out. 

"I-I accept your offer, Rias! P-please, make me a Devil!" 

Everyone was stunned at her decision; they were staring at the blonde now bowing her head towards her. 

. 

. 

. 

An awkward silence filled the room as Asia's nervousness returned. 

When she finally looked up, Rias had a severe expression. 

"Why so suddenly, Asia?" 

Privately, she was thrilled that Asia was accepting. 

Rias was feeling desperate, after all, but she wanted,   needed  to make sure it was for the right reasons. 

She sat patiently, waiting for the former Sister to speak. 

"I've… never had a home before. I've never been to a proper school, I've never been in a club, I've never had friends, and I've never had people who cared about Asia Argento." 

Rias could relate to that far more than she wanted to let on. 

"But now Nikki is going off to fight, you all are, aren't you? Rias, I've never been saved by anyone, and now those people who saved me are in danger." 

She was right, of course. 

If Rias married Riser, her days of living in the Human world were probably over. 

It went without saying that that would include her servants, and without Nikki around, those left behind would be alone against the world. 

"And… I can't do anything to save them. Rias, I finally have a chance at a family, and I can't do anything to protect them! So, please! Let me help, let me get stronger, let me fight for those I care about! I can't… I can't lose them." 

Asia was trembling now, and as tears streamed down her reddened cheeks, her voice withered into a choked whisper. 

Rias swiftly rose from her desk, coming around it to embrace the more petite girl. 

"Wait, Asia. We all understand. We're scared of losing our friends and families as well. But this is a big decision, are you sure? Devils can't even pray without suffering, you know?" Sonic warned, not wanting Asia to make a choice she would regret in the future. 

"I know but… I wouldn't be the same Asia who prays to God daily if I didn't do everything I could for those I love. So please, Rias." 

Rias let out a long sigh in response. 

"When you put it like that, it's hard for me to say no. Alright, Asia Argento. Prepare yourself. From now on, you'll be reborn as my new Bishop and faithfully serve me, Rias Gremory, as my servant forever. Do you accept?" 

"Y-yes! I, Asia Argento, promise to serve Rias Gremory faithfully until the end of my days!" 

The woman who made her declaration shone with a hidden radiance, and Rias found herself before a Holy Maiden once more. 

There was a moment's pause before Rias reached into her pocket, solemnly drawing forth a single white chess piece. 

"Lie on the ground, Asia," Rias ordered, getting a nod from Asia. 

A red Magic Circle formed under Asia's body as Rias stepped back and began to speak. "I, Rias Gremory, command under my name for thee, Asia Argento, to become my servant and lead a new life as my Bishop!" Everyone watched as the Bishop glowed brightly before it sank into Asia's body. The seal under her glowed brighter before slowly dissolving. 

Everyone watched as the bishop piece glowed, as did Asia as the Gremory seal appeared beneath her. Light shined upwards, making a few of them cover their eyes. The bishop piece was then absorbed into Asia's chest, signifying it was accepted. A small smile appeared on Sonic's face as he saw Asia's body twitch, and it grew once he saw her eyes slowly open. 

Asia sat up slowly and looked around in confusion before her eyes settled on Nikki, who was standing over her. "Nikki?" 

"Welcome to Club Asia," Sonic replied with a smile as he helped the girl to her feet. 

"I'm a devil now, aren't I?" Asia asked. 

Her answer was Sonic's nod. He then helped her up. Asia hugged him, and he reciprocated. 

Everyone had a smile on their faces as they watched the warm moment happening between the two, happy to see that everything had worked out fine, though they felt a sting of jealousy. 

Unknown to them, outside of Sonic's house, there was a young male figure watching the scene with narrow eyes at the window. He created a circle next to him, and the man walked into it before gazing back at the group, specifically Sonic and Asia. 

Sonic turned his head out the window, catching a small flash of something for a second. Narrowing his eyes a bit, Sonic scanned for any other presence. 

"Is everything okay, Sonic?" Sonic his scan and turned back to see the others looking back at him with curious looks. 

Sonic looked back one last time before shaking his head. "No… it's nothing, I just thought I sensed something…" Sonic felt that Viser was right, and this was a foreshadowing event as to what the future would hold. 

Chapter Text

Kuoh Town   

Old Church   

Inside the broken-down church, three figures were standing near the altar. The moonlight shone upon them from the numerous holes in the ceilings. All the while, they discussed a critical matter. Sadly, the three were not having a peaceful conversation. 

"You can't be serious!" shouted a short girl with blond hair. 

Dohnaseek shook his head, "This is not up for debate, Mittelt. As far as we know, Raynare is either dead or turn traitor on us." 

"That's a load of bullshit, Dohnaseek! You know Raynare is loyal to the Fallen Angels, and she will not die so easily!" Kalawarner retorted. 

"Then where is she then? It's been days since we last saw her." 

"Freed said something about her being taken by some blue-haired teen!" Mittelt remembered. Their rogue priest ally was passing by the park when he saw an unknown visor-wearing teen taking her away before the devils appeared. 

"Do you honestly believe the words of that insane priest?" Dohnaseek asked while crossing his arms. The two females look down, knowing that the priest is not trustworthy. "Raynare is no longer affiliated with us, so you two better get over it as soon as possible. We need to begin the next phase of the plan." 

The male fallen angel left the two alone and headed into the basement. Mittelt clutches her fists in anger as tears slowly start to form. Kalawarner hugged Mittelt and slowly rubbed her head in comfort. She, Mittelt, and Raynare always did everything together, and they were so close, almost as if they were sisters. It was only logical for the two to be worried sick. The bluenette looked up to the ceiling to see the night sky. 

'Raynare... Where are you?' Kalawarner thought while looking up. 

Sonic's House   

Slowly opening her violet eyes, Raynare got up a little, still sluggish. She slowly rose a little softly, groaning before realizing where she was. She was inside a bedroom with furniture and a desk with a laptop on top. Near her was a window that had a view of a garden that had a mini pond. She began examining the room, all the while trying to piece her memories back together. 

'Where am I? How did I get here? The last thing I remember was being tied to that table and having Nikki's hands on me, then passing out.' Raynare thought. 

She then remembered the faces of her capturers and clutched his hand into a fist in anger. Never in her life would she see the day when anyone captured her, let alone by humans. It was frustrating to her pride as a Fallen Angel to be caught so quickly, and yet, she was perplexed. Why isn't she dead? They could have ended her right then and there, but here she was alive. Her thoughts were broken when the door opened, catching their attention. 

The figure, who was carrying a tray of food, was the same one who was responsible for Raynare's capture and her defeat, "You!" 

Sonic noticed the awakening Fallen Angel and just handed her the food tray, surprising you. 

"You okay?" Sonic asked with a bit of concern. 

Surprised by the question, she looks up at the blue-haired teen and wonders why he was asking her that. "I-I-I'm okay, thank you... um..." 

"Nikki Kaosu," Sonic said 

"Nikki Kaosu. Is that your real name? You look familiar," she said, only to receive a nod of confirmation. Sonic then placed the tray on her lap, startling her. "Is this for me?" 

He nodded to her. It took her a second, but she instinctively grabbed the food and started eating. When he volunteered to care for Raynare, he decided to keep her in his attic, where she could be monitored at all times. He gave her his bed while he took the floor to sleep. It didn't bother him since he was used to sleeping on hard surfaces and the outdoors. 

The ebony girl stops for a moment and turns to him, her expression changed to a serious one, "Why didn't you kill me?" 

"Why would I kill a person who isn't a threat?" Sonic asked bluntly.

"So, I'm a toy for your desires?" Raynare snapped angrily. 

"You're not," Sonic answered her calmly. 

"Don't pretend to be innocent with me! You played with me when I was unconscious, didn't you!?" 

"I didn't play with you! If I were a sick bastard like Freed, then you wouldn't be wearing that outfit! Not to mention you would be sore or leaking with my semen." Sonic said bluntly. 

The conversation between the two was interrupted by a knock on the door. 

The door soon opened, and the sound of a new voice entered the room, "Sonic, are you ready to leave?" 

"You!" Raynare said quickly, recognizing the woman. 

"Ah, I see you are awake." Raynare was about to jump out of bed when the woman raised a handout. "Relax, Raynare." 

Raynare's eyes widen, "How do you know that?" 

"It seems you have forgotten that we extracted information from your mind a few days ago." 

A flashback of her interrogation came to mind, putting her on guard, "What do you want?" 

"Nothing." 

"Then why let me live?" 

"You are no threat to us," she deadpanned. "Also, what will be the point of killing you?" 

"Because I'm your enemy." 

Viser narrowed her eyes at her with a severe expression, "Don't make me laugh. You are not our enemy, and do not think that I belong to a faction." 

Her anger vanishes, being replaced with confusion, "What? How do you know about the supernatural then?" 

"Let's just say we were forced into that world." Viser noticed the time on Sonic's laptop, "We'll continue this conversation later. Sonic, we need to get going." 

Sonic nodded. He was about to leave when he said one last thing to the Fallen Angel, "If you want to leave, then be my guest, but if you want to stay, then don't do anything stupid." 

"Y-you're allowing me a chance to escape? Why?" Raynare asked, surprised that Sonic was showing mercy to her. 

"I told you, what will be the point in killing you? It will not solve or do anything; it will be merely a thirst for blood. The choice is yours," Sonic said as he shut the door. 

Raynare couldn't believe the reason why they chose not to kill her, and it sounded like something someone from the Angel Faction would say. Still, the choice of leaving wholly caught her off guard. She can walk away and return to her comrades like nothing happened, but something held her back. The blue-haired teen was the reason. She was highly interested in him. Everything about him was a mystery, and he was pretty intense. Also, he met all her standards, and the fact he was powerful and honest too. This may be her best opportunity to learn more about him and get closer, a lot closer. 

The fallen angel softly squealed in delight. 

Kuoh Town, Plaza   

Later on, Kalawarner and Mittelt decided to head to town to distract themselves from their worries. The two receive much attention, especially Kalawarner, for her revealing outfit. Seeing the looks of the male in the crowd made her softly growl in rage. She hates how easily these men fall for her natural charm with ease. For a Fallen Angel, it was a great thing, but she prefers the ones who can resist her charm. 

The image of Sonic flashes before her eyes, making her smirk lustfully. Ever since her first encounter, she has been unable to get the young man out of her head. He didn't fall for her charm, and he had the qualities she wanted in a man: handsome, strong, and dominant. A bonus was that he was powerful. It was everything she wanted to be packaged into one body. The thought of seeing what lies beneath his clothes turned her on completely. 

Mittelt notices the lustful aura around the bluenette, "Thinking about that guy again, Kalawarner?" 

"Is it obvious?" she innocently smiled. 

"That lustful aura you're emitting is hard to notice." 

The two giggled a little, lifting their mood a little. Kalawarner told Mittelt about Nikki and how he dominated her during her first encounter. Mittelt knew that Kalawarner always preferred those who could hold their own in a fight. The two entered a restaurant and took their seats, waiting to order. 

"Welcome, may I take your orders?" a young waitress asked. 

The two were about to order when the restaurant exploded with cheers. The two Fallen Angels glanced at each other, wondering what was happening. 

"He's here," the waitress said with a light blush. 

"Who?" Mittelt asked. 

"Nikki Kaosu," she managed to say calmly despite the vast amount of joy she was feeling inside. 

"Nikki Kaosu?" Kalawarner repeated. 

"Yeah! He's the best singer ever! His music is truly a work of art!" 

The fallen angels could quickly feel the lust of the fangirls in the air and wonder what was so special about this human. The scream got louder, forcing the two to turn to the small stage to see a blue-haired teen. The Fallen Angels blinked in shock to see him and instantly believed that he must be the one who took Raynare. Sadly, they couldn't ask him right now because people surrounded them. 

Sonic reached for the guitar that was on stage and took his seat. He adjusted it a little and tested the strings for a bit before he started playing. Once in a while, he plays an instrument only if the restaurant still needs a DJ set. His most common choice is usually the guitar since it is easy for him to change its sounds. The song he played was 'I'm Here' by Tomoha Ohtani. The customers and workers paid close attention to him and were entranced by the rock song. The Fallen Angels were also fascinated by the music, especially Mittelt. She loves listening to Rock n Roll music. Kalawarner softly smirked, seeing the young blond girl enjoying herself despite knowing they might have to hurt him. Sonic played a couple more songs before he finished, and the entire restaurant gave him a round of applause for his performance. 

The Fallen Angels decided to make their move and went over to Sonic. Sonic noticed the two and recognized Kalwarner. Mittlet put on a cute, innocent face, ready to work her charms, but Sonic beat her. 

Sonic noticed the bluenette and narrowed his eyes at her, "Kalawarner..." 

"I'm glad you remember me, Nikki Kaosu." Kalawarner had a brief fantasize of her stripping those close right off of him and having her way with him. This brought a warm sensation down her spine and caused her cheeks to be a little pink. Sonic sweatdropped at the strange look at the Fallen Angel's face before shrugging it off. 

A few minutes later, the three were eating lunch together. The fallen angels knew it was a bad idea to fight Sonic in public, so they decided to converse with him without causing violence. Sonic was having a chili dog, Kalawarner had some chicken, and Mittelt had a chocolate bar. The two fallen angels were enjoying themselves and began to question if the visor-wearing boy was responsible. 

"So, you work here?" Kalawarner asked, starting the conversation. 

"Yeah. I work as a part-time DJ player for a club here. Sometimes restaurants ask me to come play for them for the customers." Sonic responded. 

"I can see why," Mittelt replied with a cute smile at Sonic. 

She couldn't help but feel attracted to him. He looks highly cool in her book and enjoys Rock and Roll music. Also, he was pretty kind to her. He bought her some candy from a stand. She gracefully accepted it and began chowing down on them. Little did she know, this provided a chance for Sonic to see if she was innocent. Sonic detected no hidden motives in the Gothic Loli girl, confirming that she was also being used. Thus, it was time to make their move. 

Sonic decided to make his move since he had all the information he needed, "So, what's wrong, Kalawarner?" 

The bluenette blinked at him, "Um, excuse me?" 

"I tell by your eyes that you only came to the Plaza to distract yourself. What's wrong?" 

Kalawarner was surprised to see how easily Raynare could detect her uneasiness and decided to talk to him, thinking it might help. "You see, Nikki, a friend of ours, disappeared, and we are worried about her. Her name is Raynare." 

"You mean the same Raynare who I have as a prisoner?" Sonic asked mockingly. 

The older Fallen Angel was on guard a little and glared at Sonic while Mittelt was trying to overcome her shock. " What did you two do with Raynare?" 

"Meet me at the park at five, and you will see Raynare. It is your choice," Sonic said before leaving. The two looked at each other, unsure what to do, but in the end, they decided to take the chance to see their sister again.

  Time Skip (5:00 p.m.)   

The Fallen Angels were at the park where nobody was around waiting for Sonic. The two were on guard just in case it was a trap. The two stood in front of the fountain, waiting patiently.

"Glad you're here." The two turned to their left to see Sonic sitting on a tree casually. 

"Where is she?" Kalawarner demanded. 

Sonic steps to the side, allowing a black-haired girl dressed in a revealing outfit to be shown. She and the Fallen Angels stared at each other, frozen in their place. 

"K-Kalawarner... Mittelt..." Raynare muttered softly 

"Raynare," the two said in the same tone as her. 

It took a minute before the three engulfed themselves in a huge group hug as tears of joy came down their faces. The three soon let go of each other before looking at Sonic. 

"Why are you doing this? You could have killed us on the spot but didn't; why?" Kalawarner asked, desiring to know what Sonic was thinking. 

Sonic turned his attention to the Fallen Angels, "I'm not interested in killing innocent people." 

The Fallen Angels needed clarification about what he meant. 

"What are you talking about?" Mittelt asked. 

"You were sent here to keep an eye on Issei's Sacred Gear for your leader but then receive orders to kill him from another. Think about it for a minute about who gave you your orders." 

The Fallen Angels were quite surprised to hear this from him, but they decided to do what he said until a bell rang in their heads, realizing something so obvious. The three stared at one another before turning to the Blue Blur. 

"Wait! What are you saying!?" Raynare shouted in disbelief as she took a step back. 

"You are nothing more than pawns in a game. Don't believe me, then ask the one who duped you to kill Issei." 

The fallen angels look at each other, remembering their Fallen Angel male companion and all the times he insisted on killing the boy. They didn't want to believe it, but they had to know. The three spread their black wings and flew to the sky, leaving Sonic behind. Sonic ran to inform the others. 

At the Old Church   

Sonic, Rias, Sona, Viser, and the rest of Rias and Sona's peerage were at the old church waiting for the fallen angels to arrive. 

A light flashed on Sonic's scouter  (AN:  from Sonic X) .  Sonic tapped the side of his scout as a wavy line appeared on the lens along with some figures as he heard the voices. 

"Ah, Raynare, you're alive," Dohnaseek said. 

"Answer me, Dohnaseek! Why did you lie to me to kill the boy!?" Raynare demanded. 

A few seconds pass when Dohnaseek chuckles in amusement, "So you finally figure it out. I must admit I'm quite surprised." 

"Why!? Why are you doing this!?" Kalawarner shouted in rage. 

"Simple, to gain the power Lord Kokabiel deserves to destroy our enemies," Dohnaseek answered. 

"Enemies? What enemies?" Mittelt asked. 

"Foolish children. Do you think this so-called cease-fire will last among the Three Factions? Don't make me laugh. We are destined to fight with one another again, and that damn fool Azazel is too blind and weak to see it! I will not perish by following a pathetic excuse of a leader!" 

Raynare gasped when she figured out why Dohnaseek used her, "Wait! So, you persuaded me to kill that boy too..." 

"That's right. I used you three to take the blame, cover my tracks, and eliminate a possible threat. You three play the role of the fools quite well. 

Kalawarner growled a little, "Why you..." 

"I love to stay and chat, but I have a nun to catch. Freed! You and your friends can have them. Do whatever you want with them." 

"Ohohohohoho! We will!" Freed's voice entered the conversation as sounds of footsteps flooded the comlink. 

Sonic cut off the link as the devils were surprised to hear the revelation. They were ready to beat any fallen angels, but now they knew they were just disposable pawns in one's scheme. 

"Um, do we attack?" Asia asked nervously. 

"Now we attack," Sonic answered. He activated his ring blades. 

The female fallen angels inside the church called out their light spears, ready to fight for their lives, when the front entrance exploded. Everyone shielded themselves from the debris and dust from the explosion, missing a few blue energy shots passing through the dust. Screams of agony filled the air, along with sounds of explosions. Once the dust cloud had cleared, they saw the Sonic and the others walking in, seeing the vast number of rogue priests. 

Wasting no time, Yumi and Tomoe started swinging their swords while Tsubasa and Koneko began to punch their way through. Sonic and Ruruko managed to use their Pawn's Promotion ability to gain the power of a Queen to plow through them. Meanwhile, Rias, Akeno, Sona, Tsubaki, Momo, Reya, and Asia used their magic to blast away their enemies. Seeing the opportunity, the three female fallen angels join in the fight. 

Raynare stabbed a priest before noticing Sonic blasting the priest. The blast made the priest's ears bleed out before being forced into a wall, and the impact caused him to die. She licks her lips lustfully at the style, wanting to see more. 

Freed was busy fighting Yumi when he saw how easily his comrades were being destroyed. He decided it was time to leave because he had no chance against them. He quickly promised Yumi that they would meet again before laughing like crazy. The group watched him flee the battlefield before finishing off the rest. 

Once it was over, Dohnaseek was panting in exhaustion with slash marks on his chest that he received from Sonic. 

"I must admit," the male fallen angel said, "I'm surprised you defeated the priests and me so quickly, but Lord Kokabiel will have that gear, and another Great War will happen one way or another!" 

"I don't think so!" Sonic said, smirking smugly as he held Azazel's summoning card. 

"What!?" Dohnaseek managed to say before being blasted into a wall by a chaos beam. 

"I already notified Azazel what you were doing!" Sonic said, smirking as he charged at Dohnaseek. 

The three female fallen angels also decided to follow the priests since they owed them a little payback. Kalawarner was planning on staying to assist Sonic, but the look in his eyes told her to stay out of it. As much as she wanted to make Dohnaseek pay, she couldn't find the strength to overcome the weight of Sonic's eyes and went after the priests. The others decided to follow them. 

Dohnaseek dived straight toward it with his light blue spear, but Sonic rolled to the side to avoid it. Sonic then charged forward, delivering a series of sword slashes. Dohnaseek blocked each of the swings. Sadly, he failed to notice the incoming punch to the face. He slid back a little by the amount of power from the punch. He rubbed his jaw a little until he saw an incoming stab, which he flew back to avoid just in time. 

Soon, the clashes of the sword and spear echoed throughout the basement from the two countering each other blow by blow. Dohnaseek tried to roundhouse kick him several times, but Sonic blocked it with his forearms and pushed it aside. It wasn't long until Sonic began to overpower him with his speed. He wasn't even taking Dohnaseek seriously enough. His years of combat experience made the Fallen Angel's moves easy to read. Sonic quickly grabbed one of his wrists and raised his ring blades high. Dohnaseek screamed in pain, calling for his light spear and grabbing his upper right arm. He groaned in anger, seeing how a mere reincarnated devil was able to cut off his arm with ease before being kicked straight into the wall. 

Dohnaseek shook his head and glared in frustration, 'How is this possible!? No one is capable of such strength and skills at his age! Just what the hell is he!?' 

He quickly summoned his light spear and flew over to him, blinded by rage. Sonic swung his blades, shattering the tip of the spear and widening Dohnaseek's eyes. Sonic grabbed the left arm and sliced it right off. Dohnaseek stepped back in pain and then was sent flying in the air by an uppercut to the jaw. The Fallen Angel landed hard on the ground as blood from his missing limbs began to pour out. 

He was about to get up to run, but he was pushed down by the weight of Sonic's foot on his chest. "Trying to run away?" Sonic asked mockingly with a smirk on his face. 

Dohnaseek glared at him, "Damn you! Why did you interfere!?" 

"Stopping your master's plans." 

"What!?" 

"I know you are only here on Kokabiel's orders, and you want to start a war with the Factions. Gotta say that sounds stupid when you think about it." 

"Stupid!? You have no idea what you are talking about!" Dohnaseek retorted. 

"I do; even if this war starts, you are forgetting one thing... the humans." Dohnaseek stared at him, bewildered by what he meant by the petty humans. "By starting this war, you expose humans to a new world. Instead of fighting a few enemies, you will face every human. You may think you're mighty, but they have brains and the technology to counteract your magic. Also, they have the great ability to learn." 

"Learn what?" 

"Learning all your secrets, including the sacred gear. When they learn the true might of the sacred gear and the users, they will train them to fight against you. You will be fighting an army of sacred gear wielders and wiping out your kind and the other factions from existence." 

Dohnaseek's eyes widen at the revelation. The human population is much greater than any of the Three Factions combined. If they learn their secrets and ways, they will be unstoppable. No... He refused to believe that these worms could pose a threat to his kind. 

"YOU'RE WRONG!" Dohnaseek shouted furiously. 

"How pathetic," Sonic muttered before slicing off Dohnaseek's head. 

Sonic called off his blades when he felt a loud boom from above and ran upstairs. Upon arriving, he saw that Rias and Akeno had come as her peerage surrounded the three Fallen Angels. Rias heard the steps and glanced over her shoulder to see Sonic, who was okay. This brought a smile of relief to her face before changing it to a neutral expression. She began explaining their supposed crimes for causing trouble in her territory and killing Issei, and their punishment was death. 

Rias was about to eliminate the three females when Sonic grabbed her wrist. The redhead stared with wide eyes in shock at his action. "What are you doing!?" 

"Stopping you from making a decision you're going to regret," Sonic said. 

"You can't be serious, Sonic! It's because of them that Issei is dead!" Rias argued. 

Sonic glared at his King, "Have you forgotten what you heard before we came here?" 

Sonic couldn't believe that the devils had already forgotten what they had heard from the conversation with Dohnaseek and the female Fallen Angels and the information they had received yesterday. 

Sonic let go of Rias' wrist and turned to the Fallen Angels, who were surprised at his action, "Go to Azazel and explain everything to him. He shall be the one to judge you, not us." 

"You're... letting us live? Why!?" Kalawarner demanded. 

"It's not my place to judge. Also, I don't kill the innocent." Sonic said as he pulled a chip from his scouter and tossed it to the bluenette, "This has the recording of the conversation with Dohnaseek for evidence." 

"Why are you doing this!?" Kalawarner asked after gazing at the chip for a moment. 

"You have the right to a fair trial; that chip will provide the edge you need. No one should be denied the right for one, and they are allowed a chance to explain themselves." 

"But Sonic..." Rias started before shutting up at Sonic's glare. 

"Zip it, Rias. Even though you are the ruler of this territory and my King, you do not have the right to judge others. Also, you don't realize the possible consequences of killing the three of them." Sonic said. 

Rias struggled to understand Sonic's meaning and why he defended the fallen angels. Staring into his eyes, she could tell he was not backing down from this. She wonders why he was willing to go so far over this. Meanwhile, Kalawarner stared at him in disbelief with a light blush on her cheeks. The man before her defended her and her sisters despite working with another Faction. A warm sensation travels through her body, seeing the Blue Blur in a new light. 

"I suggest you leave willingly; otherwise, I'll call him for you," Sonic warned threateningly as he pulled out Azazel's summoning card. 

Within a second, the three flew into the air, passing through the holes in the ceilings. The devils watch, awe-struck to see how willingly Sonic let them go without any price. The bluenette glanced at the Blue Blur and softly muttered two words before leaving. 

"Thank you." 

Sonic heard her and slightly nodded. He turned to the Heiress, who was still bewildered by what happened. "You'll deal with this?" 

Rias snapped out of her thoughts and nodded, "Y-yes." 

"Good. Viser, Aisa, we're leaving," Sonic said, and they followed, leaving the devils and their heads filled with many questions.

Sunday   

ORC Building   

The next day in the afternoon, Sonic was sitting drinking a bottle of water after eating a couple of chili dogs while Rias was having a cup of tea. Sonic waited for Rias to say something about last night, but she hasn't yet. She is still confused about what he meant by the consequences of her actions. 

He placed his drink down, catching the Heiress's attention. "You're still confused about what I meant last night?" 

Rias gently touched her tea and nodded, "Yes, I don't understand why you let them go. You killed the man responsible, but you left his lackeys alive; why?" 

Sonic closed his eyes briefly before crossing his arms, "Tell me, Rias, what is your way of justice?" 

Rias blinked, not understanding the question, "What do you mean?" 

"What is your definition of justice? How do you punish the people who broke the law or the rules?" 

"Well..." Rias placed a finger on her cheek as she thought about it carefully. "Those who break the laws, contracts, or harm innocent beings." 

"Okay, but how do you determine that?" 

"By seeing the evidence." 

"The evidence being presented to you or the evidence you find yourself?" 

"Huh? What is that supposed to mean?" 

"For the male Fallen Angel, Dohnaseek, death was his punishment for his crimes even if we kept him alive. The other three were tools he used to get what he wanted. We all heard what we got from Raynare days ago, right?" 

Rias nodded yes to him. After capturing Raynare, Sonic informed her that the three females were only disposable tools for him and answered some of her questions about why Sonic let them live. Still, she wonders why Sonic asked if she remembers the information. 

"While your kind may sleep easy with killing people who were used for wrong things, I am not." His expression turns solemn, causing the Heiress to be startled. "Blindly, killing people who other people have used is not justice. That's just a simple thirst for blood. You can't go around killing all those who were forced to cause you harm. The world isn't black and white. It is full of gray. You need to understand there is more to things than meets the eye. Also, you can't assume that everything will work out." Sonic said having to learn the hard way after fighting Knuckles, whom Eggman tricked into killing Sonic, Shadow being used by Gerald into destroying the Earth, and Silver being manipulated by Mephiles into killing Sonic during the Solaris incident. 

"What do you mean?" Rias asked. 

"Let's think about last night; say that you kill them; what do you think will happen?" Sonic asked. 

"Umm... a congratulation for stopping a group of rogue Fallen Angels?" she replied. 

"Maybe, if they were all rogue, but they weren't. To you, it doesn't mean anything, but to the Fallen Angel Faction, it means a lot more. They won't care much for a rogue, but the ones who are innocent will." 

"What?" she tilted her head in confusion. 

"Think about it, Ri, a High-Class Devil kills three innocent Fallen Angels in cold blood just because they were there and were victims of a rogue fallen angel. The people will want justice for the Devil's crime, but the Devil will see it as justice in their eyes. What will happen between the two sides?" Sonic asked seriously. 

Rias placed a finger on her chin to think about it before realizing the outcome, "It will cause fighting between the two Factions." 

"Yeah, and it will lead to a war between the two sides," Sonic explained, seeing the shock of revelation in the Heiress' eyes. He prevented her from starting a potential war between the Devils and Fallen Angels. Her actions could have led to her kind shrinking into smaller numbers or becoming extinct. 

Feeling stupid, she slaps herself, "I am just an idiot." 

"We all make mistakes, Rias; none of us are perfect." The Heiress looks up at him with wide eyes. "People would mostly probably kill them if they were in your shoes. Just think of this experience as an important lesson for you, as a king for me and the others. Please think of the what-ifs before making a decision, and every decision we make has consequences. You must deal with the weight of those decisions no matter what happens." Sonic said thoughtfully as he thought of Knuckles, Shadow, and Silver. 

Sonic could have treated Knuckles, Shadow, and Silver like the villains they had first appeared to be, but Sonic had chosen to reach out with understanding. Now, they were counted among Sonic's friends and stood by his side to keep the world safe. They were only the most significant examples, as there were many others that Sonic and his friends had been able to sway to their side, including robots that had been programmed to kill them. 

Rias blinked at the tone of his voice and grew curious, "It sounds like you have experience of being a leader?" 

"I have," he replied before shutting his eyes, remembering the past of being the Freedom Fighters leader and before that. He opens his eyes to see a slight smirk on her face, "What?" 

"Nothing... It was nice to learn a little piece about you for a change." 

"Whatever you say," Sonic answered with a shrug while Rias continued to look at the Blue Blur. 

Rias got up and went right over to him, sitting on his right. 

Soon, Koneko, Asia, and Yumi entered the club and greeted them, then Akeno, who brought a trolley with a cake. 

The group was about to dig in when a knock stopped them. Rias blinked in surprise because she wasn't expecting visitors today, and Sona was busy with something else. "Come in." 

From the other side of the door and coming was Tsubaki. "Sorry for the interruption, but Sonic, you have some visitors." 

"Visitors?" he raises an eyebrow. 

"Yes," she gestured from the doorway, "Come on in." 

The ORC Club grew curious about who it was, and the devils wondered if it was someone he knew. Coming into the room were none of the other three fallen angels from last night, and to their shock, it was Azazel. The devils were about to prepare for battle when Sonic gave the sign to hold. The devils looked at Rias, who nodded them to stand down. Raynare and Mittelt noticed Sonic and seductively waved to him, causing Akeno and Koneko to stand beside him and glare at them.

"Nice to see you again, Nikki," Azazel said, smirking at Sonic.

"Same to you, Aza," Sonic said, giving Azazel a handshake to the devils and the fallen angels in shock.

The eldest of the three female fallen angels walked over with her arms underneath her bosoms, "Nice to see you again, Nikki Kaosu." 

"Kalawarner, surprised to see you this soon," Sonic said, amused by the fallen angel's appearance. 

"Oh~? Did you miss little old me that much?" she teases while batting her eyes seductively. 

"What do you want crow?" Rias demanded angrily. Her eyebrow twitched in disapproval of Kalwarner's behavior towards Sonic. 

Kalawarner noticed the angry redhead, "Relax princess. I'm just talking to Big Blue here." 

The nickname she gave him made Rias' eyebrow twitch once again, "You can do it without sounding like a whore." 

The bluenette's eyebrow twitched at the insult while she glared at the redhead, "Watch it, brat, don't make me go over there and slice you open myself." 

"Go ahead and try," Rias said, raising her hand to conjure her Power of Destruction. 

Kalawarner summoned a yellow light spear, "Very well-" 

"Whoa, don't even think about it!" Sonic ordered, flinching the two and the other supernatural, "Both of you stand down now." 

"But Sonic," Rias pleaded. 

"I said STAND DOWN!" he roared, making the supernatural except Azazel sweat a little at his tone. No matter how many times Sonic rarely gets angry, Rias never ceases to secrete from it. The two glared at each other for a brief second before calling over their powers. 

"Alrighty then, Aza, tell us why you and your friends are here?" Sonic asked, not wanting a fight to happen.

"Glad you asked Nikki," Azazel said, as he cleared his throat and looked at Rias and her peerage.

"On behalf of the Grigori and myself, we thank you for stopping Dohnaseek's plan. We want to apologize to the Gremory Clan for disturbing the peace in your territory and for the actions of a rogue Fallen Angel. We, the Grigori, agreed on Fallen Angels Raynare, Kalawarner, and Mittelt. They will assist the Gremory Clan as punishment for their involvement in this scheme. Also, for convincing them to come back to explain their crimes and provide evidence of the ordeal, they shall be your maids as your reward. I hope you love it." Azazel finished smirking at Sonic, who looked at him in bafflement before disappearing through his summoning circle.

The devils' jaws drop after hearing Azazel. They faced the Fallen Angels, who hated the idea of assisting the devils as punishment but loved the idea of being personal maids to Sonic. Sonic cursed a bit as he rubbed his head in annoyance while Rias, Akeno, Yumi, Asia, and Koneko glared at the fallen angels. 

Sonic shook his head in disbelief, "Alright, what do you...?" Sonic was interrupted when Kalawarner approached him, wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing her body against his. Her action forces Sonic to spread his arms out while his face lights like a candle. 

"Come now, Big Blue, you should know the answer already," she said with a sexy tone. She bends her left leg up, pressing her chest forward while making a cute, innocent face, "Just tell me what to do, and I shall do it, my Master~." 

Before he could answer, someone yanked him away from her with great force. It was none other than Rias who held his right arm with both hands and pressed her breast against it. 

"Knock it off!" 

"Knock what off? I'm just getting acquainted with my new Master. Where's the harm in that?" Kalawarner smirked, knowing she was one step closer to claiming him. Rias gave an intense glare at her, causing Kalawarner to do the same, causing some sparks between them. 

Raynare approached Sonic and batted her eyes, "I'm here to serve you, Master Nikki. Don't be afraid to punish me severely." 

"If I am good, will you take me for sweets!?" Mittelt pleaded with a cute puppy dog face. 

Sonic was about to answer when he felt four sudden dark auras close to him. He shifted his head to see one of the sources was Akeno with an evil grin, ready to obliterate Raynare to ashes. The other was Koneko with a pout on her face and was prepared to beat the living crap out of the blond Fallen Angel. 

"Listen, well, you naughty crow, the one who Nikki will punish is me, so how about you fly back home to your nest?" the sadist happily threatened. 

"Sorry, devils, but I'm here to stay. Besides", she flew right past the Devil, pulling Sonic from Ria's grasp, and wrapped her arms around Sonic's neck from behind. She lifted herself a little to bring her head close to his from the left side, "Nikki, here is my type of guy. Strong, silent, mysterious~... It makes him so intoxicating. I wonder, though, what will happen when he and I get intimate?" 

Sonic was about to yank out of Raynare's grasp when Akeno wrapped her arms around in front. The Queen pressed her body as much as possible while staring at the Fallen Angel, "Sorry, Raynare, but I'm the one who will be intimate with him." 

"No, I am." 

"No, I am." 

As the two ebony-haired girls glared at each other, the Lolis were in a glaring contest. 

"Nikki is the only one. Take me to get sweets; you go find somebody else, you gothic crow." 

"Back off shortly! I'm the only one whose Nikki is taking to get sweets." 

"No, Nikki is the only one who can spend time with us!" Asia said, glaring at Mittelt 

"No, I am." 

"No, I am!" 

On the sidelines, Asia and Yumi didn't seem to mind, but Sonic did. Having enough of this, Sonic pulled himself away from Akeno and cleared his throat to gain the Fallen Angels' attention, "Alright then, let me make a few things clear. I'm not too fond of laziness or deadweights. Each of you works to prove your usefulness to us." 

"What do we have to do?" Raynare asked. 

"Like in the letter, you will be helping Rias and her Peerage with their contracts, hunting strays, and training with us. Also, since you have nowhere else to go, you three will move in with me. I'll explain more of your new duties later." Sonic then grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down an address, then he handed it to Kalawarner, "Here's the address to my home. Go gather your belongings and meet us there." 

"Oh, we will, Master~," Kalawarner said sweetly before leaving the room with her comrades. 

Sonic turned to the Heiress, knowing he would regret this, "Rias... I need a favor." 

She blinked at his request, "What kind of a favor?" 

"*Sigh* I need your help to enroll Raynare and Mittelt here and get a teaching job for Kalawarner as you did with Viser to become at Kuoh Academy." 

"Um... Why?" 

"It is easier to have them here than coming into the school daily." 

Thinking about it momentarily, Rias saw the logic in enrolling the fallen angel here rather than coming in daily, creating unnecessary problems for them. A ding echoed in her head, seeing a perfect opportunity, "Okay, but what's in it for me?" 

"*Sigh*... Name your... price," he groaned regrettably. 

Hearing those three words caused an explosion of joy to erupt inside her. She had numerous ideas in her head but couldn't decide which one. She softly smiles at the Blue Blur, making him stare at her weirdly, "I let you know what I want later, but for now, let us resume our welcoming party for our newest member." 

As the group dug into the cake, a green-wing Macaw parrot sat on a tree branch gazing upon the ORC Club. 

"That was a good final episode... As if," said a blonde-haired man surrounded by 15 ladies looking at a magical orb showing the ORC Club eating the cake. His eyes focus on Rias, who was trying to feed Sonic, who accepted it happily. "Soon you will be mine, my dear," the man said as he held a yellow brilliant cut gem on his right hand.

Meanwhile, a gentle-looking young man with green hair looked at the scene disgustedly.

"Soon... you will be mine Asia," said the green-haired man.

Sonic looked outside the ORC window. There was nothing. He could have sworn he felt two magical energy signatures.

"Something wrong, Nikki?" Rias asked, concerned.

"Nothing could have sworn I felt something; it must be in my head," Sonic said, shrugging it off.

Rias looked at him momentarily before she continued feeding Sonic cake.

Omake

"I suggest you leave willingly; otherwise, I'll call him for you," Sonic warned threateningly as he pulled out Azazel's summoning card. 

The summoning card started to glow. Sonic's eyes widened. "Wait! I didn't mean-!"

A shower stall with a glass door appeared between Sonic and the fallen angels.

The shower was running, the fog was misting the glass, and a male was singing inside the shower:

I'm walking on sunshine, wooah

I'm walking on sunshine, woooah

I'm walking on sunshine, woooah

And don't it feel good!

As the shower stopped, the glass door opened. An arm came out searching for a towel. The male couldn't find a towel. A male with black and blonde hair peaked his head out of the shower.

"What in the where did I put that tow-OH SHIT!" Azazel shouted as he closed the door.

"Lord Azazel!" The fallen angels shouted, faces beating red as they looked away. The devils looked away as well. Yumi covered Asia's eyes.

"COULDN'T YOU HAVE SUMMONED ME AT ANOTHER TIME?!" Azazel shouted embarrassingly.

"I'm sorry it was an accident!" Sonic shouted, covering his eyes.

Azazel peeked his head out and saw the fallen angels.

"I'll speak with you three later! Right now, I gotta go!" Azazel shouted as he made himself and the shower disappear.

An awkward silence occurred within the church.

"You know what, just forget that all this happened," Sonic said, looking away in embarrassment.

Everyone left and forgot that whatever happened moments before stayed between them.

Chapter Text

One Week Later   

ORC Building   

It has been one week since the rouge group event, and fallen angels joined Kuoh. And things have gotten interesting for our hero.  

Asia and the Fallen Angels fit in quite well with the group. Thanks to Rias, she enrolled in Kuoh Academy as a 2nd year student. Raynare was registered as a 3rd-year student, and Mittelt became a 1st-year student. For Kalawarner, she was hired as a biology teacher. Like wildfire, it took them only a short time to build a reputation among the class thanks to their looks. 

Though at school they were fine, at the Occult Club, it was different. Each of the Fallen Angels developed a rivalry with the Devils over their common interest. Raynare started to flirt with Sonic, making Akeno increase her flirting as well, trying to gain his attention. Mittelt, Koneko, and Yumi were competing for their seat on Sonic's lap. Rias has been clingier to Sonic since Kalawarner began showing her affection to her new master. Sonic could tell it was going to take a while for them to get along and had to ensure they didn't kill each other. 

In the present time, in the Student Council room, the 3rd year students were relaxing as they waited for the rest of the members. Sonic and Tsubaki were having a chess match while Sona watched them. It was a close match between the two, and it was Tsubaki's turn. She moved her black Rook up, taking out Sonic's white Bishop. Sonic counters by attacking her Knight with his Pawn. 

"Hmm," Tsubaki hummed, studying the board carefully. She saw that Sonic was close to promoting a Pawn, and his defense was holding. She brought her Rook back to prevent his Pawn from being promoted. Sadly, she fell for Sonic's trap. 

Sonic used his Queen to knock out her Pawn that was defending her King, "Checkmate." 

The two glasses-wearing Devils blinked at his declaration before turning to the board, seeing that he won. His Queen not only put her in check, but his Queen was also covered by his Bishop, and he blocked any attempts to knock his Queen out. 

"Well played, Sonic. You led me to believe that you were aiming for a promotion. Still, you were forcing me to castle my King by confusing me with unorthodox moves, allowing you to use your Queen to get into position to checkmate me." 

"It was quite a challenge, Tsubaki. You never let up in your assault and defensive, which made it quite difficult to counter. You do live up to your title of being the second-best player in Kuoh." 

Tsubaki's cheeks turned slightly pink, and she shifted her gaze to the left, "Thank you, Sonic." 

"Well then, it seems like it's my turn," Sona said. 

Time Skip   

"I win as its checkmate for me," Sonic said, having his Queen in position to take Sona's King. 

Sona looked at the board with wide eyes and was in deep thought of the Sonic's victory. 

Sonic lifted himself and left the Student Council. "See ya guys," Sonic waved as he closed the door. 

Sona's peerage looked at Sona and the chessboard in shock. "Sona, did Sonic just beat you in chess?" Momo asked in disbelief. 

"Y-yes," Sona squeaked in disbelief. 

Everyone just stood there for the past moments in silence. 

"He is filled with surprises, isn't he?" Reya asked in disbelief. 

"Isn't today supposed to be the day we get our familiars?" Tsubaki asked her King, who snapped out of her stupor. 

"Oh dear, I forgot to inform this," Sona said before rubbing her eyes. 

"Best to tell them now," Tomoe said. 

Sona and her Peerage left the Student Council Room and went to the ORC Building. 

ORC Building   

Sonic went to the ORC Building and sat on the couch next to Yumi, who pressed her breast close to Sonic's right arm, but before he could sleep, Koneko sat on his lap and grabbed his left hand to put it on top of her head as she wants to be petted. This made Yumi and Mittelt pout as they tried to sit on his lap. Raynare, Viser, and Kalawarner were in the room as Raynare and Mittelt were doing homework with Asia while Rias, Viser, and Kalawarner were doing paperwork. Akeno was glaring at the fallen angels. 

Rias stood up and put her papers down. "Now that's over, I think it's time for you, Sonic and Asia, to get your familiars," Rias said, surprising Sonic and Asia, who were confused. 

"Familiars?" Asia asked. 

Rias raised her hand, and she summoned her bat. "That's a Familiar?" Asia asked. 

"One of many types," Rias answered. "Her and Sonic already met." She continued, and the moment she said that, a popping sound happened. The bat had transformed into a humanoid form. This stunned Sonic and Asia; none of them had seen this before. 

"Whoa! She can do that?" Sonic asked in disbelief. Rias nodded at this. 

"Do you all have familiars as well?" Asia asked with excitement. 

"Of course, I have six, too!" Akeno pointed to the floor, where a magic square appeared instead of a circle. What emerged were six Onis; two of them were green, two of them were blue, and two of them were purple. If Sonic didn't know those were Familiars, he would have assumed they were one of his small animal friends or a Chao that put something on its head, which was something they loved to do, by the way. 

Koneko had also summoned Shiro. For some reason, Sonic didn't know why, but something about Koneko having a cat seemed fitting. It was also one of the rarest times he saw the girl smile, if only briefly. 

"You guys wanna see mine?" Yumi asked them, summoning a small bird-like creature on his arm. 

"Yes!" Asia nodded. 

"I don't mind," Sonic answered, wanting to see Yumi's familiar. 

Yumi made a small blue bird from her magical circle. The bluebird went to Sonic's circle and chirped at him, making him chuckle as he rubbed its head with his finger. The bird nuzzled its head at Sonic's touch and flew onto Yumi's shoulder, who giggled at their interaction. 

"Aww," Asia said, seeing how cute it was and how Yumi's familiar rubbed her head against Sonic's touch with affection. 

"Animals sure love you, don't they, Nikki?" Mittelt said. She was wearing a Kuoh Academy female outfit along with Raynare. Kalawarner was wearing a black skirt with a long-sleeved button-down shirt and a black business jacket. 

"Yeah," Sonic nodded. 

"Um, so how do we obtain one of these familiars?" Asia asked. 

"Well, you see..." Rias was interrupted by a sudden knocking. The club turned to the door, revealing the entire Student Council. 

"Excuse us." 

"Sona, why are you here?" Rias asked. 

"I know you were thinking of getting your servants their familiars, but sadly, I was thinking of doing the same," Sona explained. 

Sonic turned his attention to Rias and Sona. "Why not both go?" He asked as he disappeared in a blur and dawned a hat that said, 'World's Largest Rubber-Band Ball.' "Make it a Road Trip?" He asked, then also brought out a paddleball and began playing with it perfectly. Sona could only stare, and Rias giggled at this. 

This didn't stop everyone except Koneko and Sona, who had small smiles, from giggling at Sonic's antics. 

"That would be preferable, but due to popular demand, the Familiar Master has recently only been accepting one Family a month," Tsubaki said.

"In that case, why not we have a little contest to sort this out?" Rias suggested. 

"Contest?" Sona asked. 

"Whoever wins gets admission to the Familiar Forest first. That sounds fair, doesn't it?" Rias said, laying down some ground rules provided Sona agreed. 

"Surely you're not suggesting a Rating Game, are you?" Sona asked in a severe tone. 

"Oh, no. Of course not." Rias clarified with a chuckle, waving her hand in dismissal. "The Officials would never let us pull one off over a silly dispute. That's a legal battle even both our clans can't afford." 

"So how are you two going to settle this dilemma since neither of you can do a Rating Game?" Sonic asked. 

"Simple, we will settle this like high schoolers, with sports!" Rias answered cheerfully. 

Sonic looked at the two Devil Heiresses, knowing this wouldn't end well. 

Next Day   

Next, at the tennis court, many students gather to see the match between Rias and Akeno against Sona and Tsubaki. Each wore a tennis uniforms, attracting almost all the males in the school. Rias's uniform was a bright pink, while Akeno was bright yellow. Sona and Tsubaki wore white sleeveless shirts with different color skirts: pink for Sona and green for Tsubaki. 

The rest of the ORC and student council were behind the fence while Sonic was inside, with Reya as the referee. Sonic could feel the lustful and perverted desires in the air. 

"Seems like those Tennis balls aren't the only things bouncing today!" Sonic joked, getting leers from the males, who gave them a raspberry in return, making them cry out in rage. 

Rias started the first serve, and an uproar of perverted cheers echoed throughout the area. While the crowd was tranced by the beauty and skills of the four, Sonic detected the abnormal speed of the tennis ball. He recalled his match with the tennis club a while back and saw the difference in speed, showing that Rias used her Devil's strength during her serve. Sona responded with the same strength to hit it right back, came Akeno and Tsubaki. 

"So they can use magic in front of humans when they risk exposing the existence of the supernatural?" Sonic asked, gesturing to the players. 4 Devils out in broad daylight, using magic before actual humans. 

"I don't think that's the magic they focused on," Koneko flatly stated about the crowd, since the four girls had pretty short skirts and not to mention the bras they were wearing didn't seem to be made for sports, for they flew all over the place with each movement. 

Sonic noticed some of their balls went through the fences, hitting the males. Rias was about to serve again when Sonic swiped in to grab it. The Devil's eyes follow where Sonic caught the ball. 

"This match is over!" Sonic said as he walked towards the court, causing an uproar from the crowd, especially the males. 

"You can't do that!" 

"Yeah!" 

"You're not the referee!" 

"You don't have the damn right to say it is over!" 

Sonic glared intensely, shutting up the crowd, "Do you think it's a good idea to get in my way?" 

In less than a second, the crowd ran as fast as they could, leaving the ORC and Student Council behind. Rias was surprised to hear Sonic raise his voice since he only does it when annoyed or angry, but she knew that men staring at her wouldn't cause him to do that. So, what got him mad? 

"Sonic, why did you-" she was cut short by a brutal hit to the head from his hammer, causing the supernatural to blink, but Kalawarner quickly smirked in enjoyment. 

Akeno was about to go over to her King when she was hit on the head by Sonic's hammer as well. The group was surprised that the two Great Ladies of Kuoh were bopped on the head like children. No male would even dare do such a thing, but Sonic dared. Both of them had stars circling their heads. 

"Nikki, why?" Akeno said in a phony tone. This was the first time Sonic hit her, stirring her masochist remarkably. How he did it without a second thought in such an emotionless matter makes her feel all tingly inside. Also, the force he put into it made her spine shiver in excitement. She needs to get him alone with her as soon as possible. 

Raynare noticed her rival's tone and a dark aura surrounding her body, "I won't let you have him that easily bat!" 

Akeno noticed Raynare's jealousy and decided to tease her. She quickly wrapped her arms around Sonic's neck, pressing her body against his, and wrapped a leg around one of his. She looks back at the Fallen Angel with a giggle, which also says, 'Go ahead and try.' Sonic broke free and stared at the sadist, questioning why she did that. 

"Oww, what was that for Sonic?" Rias asked while rubbing her head with slight tears forming. 

"For being careless and foolish! Are you trying to expose the existence of the supernatural to humans? That was extremely careless of you, Rias!" Sonic said, disappointed in Rias. 

"Sonic, we can simply-" 

"It doesn't matter if you can wipe their memories or not. Displaying your powers to them was extremely childish, not to mention you could have seriously injured the audience with your magic. They're still humans!" Sonic interrupted Rias. 

He spoke from experience, considering he participated in tennis tournaments before in his world. They at least learned to use some of their less lethal abilities without hurting the players and audience. 

Sonic walked over to Sona and Tsubaki. "Using your abilities so freely and without concern was incredibly foolish. I expected you, Sona of all people, to keep your Devil's pride intact, but I underestimated your control over it." 

Sona's face turned crimson, realizing she allowed her pride to take control. She always professionally kept herself, not allowing the slightest chance for her emotions to take control. The embarrassment she felt at Sonic, seeing her pride take over, was more significant than her sister's expressive love. 

"You two will talk it with clearer heads and ensure it is a private match. Do I make myself clear?" Sonic ordered at the kings, who nodded in agreement. "Good, I'll be back at the club." 

"You're not joining us?" Rias asked. 

"For now, this is your battle, not mine, and you can handle this with your strength." 

Rias blinked at his words and watched him walk away with Sonic, Viser, and the Fallen Angels. Raynare and Mittelt gave a teasing giggle at their rivals, who responded with glares. Kalawarner gave a mocking grin at the redhead, but she failed to notice it since she was still trying to wrap around what Sonic said. Not many people put much faith in her strength except for her peerage and family. Hearing what Sonic said caused her lips to curve upwards, knowing Sonic believed in her. 

Time Skip   

Sometime later, Koneko was shown back in the clubhouse with Tennis rackets missing their netting. "Tennis is out." She said before dropping them. 

"So is baseball." Viser was holding up a Baseball bat that was half-broken with the top half hanging off as it fell off a second after finishing her sentence with a wood-snapping sound. 

"Golf, too." Asia was holding a dented golf club. 

"Basketball as well," Yumi said, holding a deflated basketball with steam coming from it. 

"Ping-pong, too," Raynare said, holding a ping-pong paddle with a burnt hole with steam coming out. 

"Don't forget about soccer," Kalwarner said as she held a damaged soccer ball with a massive hole in it. 

"And cycling," Mittlet said, holding a damaged bike that had its two wheels rolling off of it. 

Sonic held up a blackened Bowling Ball with both hands. "Even Bowling," he said, then the ball turned to ash and fell to the floor. He was shocked at that, but only for a second before he just gave up, and he rubbed his hands off to clean his gloves, seeing as the object he held no longer existed, most likely due to Rias. "At this rate, they're gonna run out of sports." He continued, putting his hands on his hips as he finished dusting off his hands. 

"Since nobody won, they suggest we all compete in a team match," Koneko said emotionlessly. 

"Seriously?" Sonic asked incredulously. 

"Yes, there are barely any sports for them to play. They're deciding what we should play." Yumi responded. 

"Hopefully, it's nothing too harmful," Viser said, not wanting to deal with serious injuries. 

Rias and Akeno opened the door with smiles, already deciding what sport to play. 

"You already made up your decision?" Sonic asked. 

"Yes, we've chosen dodgeball as a game to play. We meet at the Sea Trees tomorrow night in the gym. So, let's win this." Rias said with determination. 

"Right!" Rias' peerage said together. 

"Thanks for playing with us guys," Asia said, smiling at them. 

"Yeah, for real, you guys are the best," Sonic said, giving them a thumbs up. 

Time Skip (Nighttime)   

Gym   

Rias and Yumi were tossing the ball back and forth while Akeno and Koneko were helping Asia do some presses. As for Sonic, he was doing leg and arm stretches by himself. 

Viser and the fallen angels sat on the bleachers, rooting for Team Gremory. 

After the pregame exercises, Team Gremory all stood in a group. "Let's win this, people! Just grab a ball, aim at any Sitri you see, and lob them right in the face!" Rias said ecstatically. 

"Guess that means you're ready to roll?" Came Sona's voice, her and peerage having arrived. 

"Oh, we're ready to throw down, Sona!" Said Rias, and just when she and everyone took their positions. 

The game began after Momo blew a whistle as she played the referee. The game itself opened up with Sonic able to grab the ball first. With a quick throw, he aimed for Tomoe and her in the abdomen. Since she didn't catch this ball, it counted as the Gremory team's first point, as there were no outs in this game of dodgeball. If you hit someone and they don't catch the ball, the score goes to you, and if you see the ball, you get a point. 

"HA-HAAA! STEP IT UP, TOMOE!" Said Sonic… who appeared next to Momo in a referee costume while waving a flag like the one Momo was using. The girl in question was going to call out that point, but when Sonic beat her to it, she looked down at him in confusion. How'd he changed costume so fast? 

"Hey! Who made you referee?" Said Sonic, walking over on the opposite side of Momo, making her look over to the speaker only to see the Blue Blur had again changed back into his regular clothes and headband. Even more confused, she looked back to where Sonic was a moment ago. 

And he was back on that side, in Referee costume again. "I did." 

"No, I didn't!" Said player Sonic, then pointed to the field. "Get back out there! Stop goofing around!" Player Sonic sulked away upon being ordered to leave, grumbling. "Ugh, I can't with that guy…" Player Sonic walked away with an eye-roll, leaving Momo unsure how to respond to what just happened aside from a blink. 

Further into the game, Tsubasa got ahold of a ball, throwing it hard toward Koneko, who was unprepared for it, and the impact of the ball tore some of her shirts, showing a bit of her bra. 

"Yikes, right in the chest." Sonic winced, feeling bad that Koneko got hit. 

Tsubaki grabbed a ball, magically infusing the ball with her magic, aiming at Sonic. He was getting ready to dodge it, but it stopped directly before him, screeching for a split second. To his shock, it changed trajectory to a hard right, hitting Yumi instead, who did not catch it and earning Sitri's second point. 

"Get him now!" Called out a girl's voice, making Sonic look in its direction to see Ruruko, Tomoe, and Reya throwing balls at him infused with magic. This was one of the ideas Rias mentioned Sona might come up with, a bait-and-switch tactic. He wasn't going to lie; it almost got him. 

Sonic vibrated his body for the three sneak attacks to go through him as they hit the floor. Sonic ran around the balls and used his whirlwind attack to send the balls striking back at Ruruko, Tomoe, and Reya, gaining three points in return. 

Sona got a ball and infused it with magic as she threw it at Sonic. Sonic jumped over it, and it stopped in midair before glancing back toward him, hearing the magic go off, and looking back to see the ball coming back to him. Sonic had no choice but to start running with a scared look in his eye. No matter where he went or how fast he ran, it continued to go after him like a missile chasing its target. For the heck of it, he ran towards a wall as the ball trailed behind him, then he ran up the wall.

BAM! 

The ball slammed into the wall, where it lost its glow and fell to the ground. Just like a missile, it stops when it hits something. Sonic kicked off the wall just before impact, so he wasn't affected by any shock the impact may have caused. He sighed in relief. That was a close one. 

Tsubaki, having gotten another ball, this time threw it at Rias. "Ready or not, here I come!" Tsubaki shouted. 

The Crimson Devil caught the ball as it rammed into her, shredding off bits of her gym uniform. 

"Well, catching Tsubaki's spike head-on. Trying to impress me?" Sona taunted Rias. 

"Did you forget who I am, Sona?" Rias fired back. "I'm a Gremory. That's just how we roll!" She then threw the ball she caught with all her strength. Then, as the ball traveled, her eyes glowed, and the ball she threw entered a glyph she just summoned. When it exited out to the other side, it had turned into a deadly crimson fireball! 

Tomoe made contact with Rias' attack and didn't stand a chance, and her gym clothes burned off, leaving only her undergarments for some reason. Sonic was baffled by this. 

Reya attempted to take advantage of this, not even bothering to use magic on Sonic since he was distracted. Akeno saved him, however, with Sonic getting a sneak peek of her bra as she went over him. 

Sonic couldn't help but be afraid of Rias' scary power from her last throw, especially when she gets competitive in a casual game like this. 

Ruruko tried to get Rias while she was focused on her throw, which Sonic happened to see. "Look alive, Ri!" He dashed over just Ruruko tossed her magically infused ball at Rias, but Sonic caught it with both hands. He twisted in the air and threw the ball back to its sender. Ruruko attempted to catch this ball, but it came so fast that it bounced right off her chest and into Tsubasa's back. 

Rias saw this happen and was honestly surprised. 

"Why you!" Tsubasa said, noticing Sonic was the one to strike her. Getting the ball he just used, she tossed it towards him. She didn't use magic on it, but the power in that throw was shown in the wind it generated. 

"  WHAT IN THE-?!" Sonic shouted 

BAM! 

Sonic didn't even have time to react, and the ball went straight at him. Also, the force of the ball on him pushed him back from the amount of force in Tsubasa's Rook-empowered throw. 

"Sonic!" Rias instinctively called out in worry. Sonic was pushed into the wall, but he managed to hold the ball surprisingly with his gloves intact. Seeing he still had it, it counted as a point for them, and she couldn't help but feel relieved he wasn't injured. 

"Ugh, one of these days, you girls are gonna be the death of me," he muttered. 

Pretty soon, almost everyone started using magic to enhance their throws began. Some balls went all over the gym, while others disintegrated from the constant barrage of repeated infusions. Some of them even flew out of windows, shattering them, and the balls burst through the roof into the sky, never to return. That's not even mentioning the amount of times Momo had to blow her whistle to declare a point. 

There was even a blue tornado at one point, most likely Sonic. And he used chaos control to make the balls teleport everywhere. He also used his speed to make the balls ricochet between his opponents and the gym's walls, getting many points for the team. He even used a Sonic Boom on the balls, sending Sona's team packing. 

"I had no idea Dodgeball was so dangerous!" Asia shouted fearfully with a scared expression. 

"This isn't dodgeball, more like Death-Ball! And I Don't know about you, but I've touched enough balls for one night! " Sonic shouted with his scared expression. The number of times he was so close to getting hit. Sona's team didn't mess around. 

Sona herself had enough at this point, competitive-wise. Even with her planning last night on how to deal with Rias with a pawn of hers that could cause tornadoes, they were still neck and neck like a close race. Whenever one team would start overtaking, the other one would speed on ahead. With another ball in hand, it was time to deal some damage to the Gremorys'! 

"Here comes the pain!" Yelled Sona as she flared her power with the symbol of Sitri magic behind her. Her target was Sonic, as he had yet to be hit, but only because the Sitri's have been focusing on the strongest and fastest players, though those same players would protect Asia. It was strategic thinking at first, but due to them losing, they would have to change their strategy. 

"Shit!" Sonic shouted, seeing the ball was coming right for him! He tried running, but the ball followed. He tried ducking, but it still followed. He even vibrated his body to chase the ball through him, yet it continued to pursue him. 

"Alright, that's enough!" Sonic said, stopping in front of the magically enhanced ball, intent on catching it. However, it stopped, which didn't surprise him initially. It's what the ball itself did is what got him. It stayed still, so when Sonic tried touching it, it backed up. He tried again, but it shot upward diagonally backward. Now getting aggravated, he and that ball went around in circles on and above the ground. 

Sonic then ran straight, chasing the ball as soon as he was close to it. Suddenly, it stopped, leaving a screeching sound; it looked like Sonic was about to fall on top of the ball on his chest but in reality. 

BAM! 

The color drained from Sonic's face, his 'why me' expression turned to anguish, and he fell to the ground while holding the impact area with both hands. Everyone just stared, not expecting this to happen and, of course, feeling sorry for him. Sona felt the worst. She didn't mean 'here comes the pain' literally, nor was she expecting that! 

"My… emeralds…" Sonic managed to say painfully. 

"OH!" Raynare winced. 

"He'll be feeling that for the rest of the night," Kalawarner said, cringing. 

"The night? Don't you mean days?" Mittelt said, wincing, feeling the phantom pain. 

"Um… does that count as a point or a miss?" Asked Viser, cringing at the pain Sonic must be experiencing. 

"No… she got'em…" Sonic said with gritted teeth. 

While Sonic continued to clutch his balls, Asia kneeled to where he was on the floor, her rings of Twilight Healing coming out. "I can use my Twilight Healing, but you need to tell me where it hurts, Nikki." Asia kindly offered. 

Hearing that, Sonic quickly sat up, though he still looked in pain. "No thanks, Asia. I'm fine! I've dealt with worse things!" He insisted while looking embarrassed, still holding the affected area. 

"But you're in pain, maybe if I take a quick look," said Asia, innocently and worried about Sonic's well-being. She crawled over to where he was holding himself and leaned down to remove his hands. 

Sonic then found the will to stand but still held his pained area. "No! That's not a good idea! Touching someone's private area in a public area is a Federal Offense!" He insisted. 

"If that'll make you feel better, I can do it over the pants." Offered Asia. It still felt awkward to Sonic, but he just sat there and let Asia do her work. She held her hand over Sonic's pants, glowing light over the affected area. 

"How does that feel?" Asked Asia, her hand hovering mere inches over Sonic's private area. 

"Better," said Sonic. He still sounded in pain, though not as much as before. 

"So it's working?" Asked Asia, relieved her treatment was working. 

"Yeah," said Sonic. 

He sat out the rest of the game by order of Rias. He sat next to the fallen angels and Viser. The game was almost over by that point. At the last second, Sona and Rias used their magic to infuse their balls, but they collided and canceled each other out in a magical explosion of blue and red. 

Team Gremory won anyway, thanks to Sonic doing most of the work. 

"A deal, a deal, Rias. You beat us fair and square." Sona said as her team was packing up and leaving, "And as much as I hate losing, I have to admit, this experience was still fun." She added. "But if this were a Rating Game, you never could have beaten me, even with Sonic." 

"Heh. I wouldn't say so, Sona!" Sonic said smugly. 

"You think so?" Asked Rias. "Well, we'll have to wait and see when we  play   a game." 

"I suppose your right… you never know what could happen." Sona said as she turned to leave with the rest of her peerage. 

Sona stops after taking a few steps as her back is turned to her opponent's. And Sonic." She suddenly addressed Sonic directly, getting his attention, and returned to them again. "I'm sorry for having to hit you in your *clears throat* area," Sona said, blushing embarrassingly. 

"It's fine; accidents happen." Sonic smiled, wincing at the reminder. 

"And Rias," she said, getting the Gremory King's attention. Rias couldn't see this, but Sona's eyes were closed. "Don't ever give into him." 

Rias, knowing exactly who she was talking about, narrowed her eyes. "I never will." She said in a harsh tone. 

Sona's eyes opened again. 'For your sake; I hope you don't,' she thought before finally walking out of the gym this time. 

ORC Building   

"KANPAI!" 

Back at the ORC club that night, the Devils and even Sonic celebrated their victory over Sona Sitri with drinks. "I'm very proud of all of you. You all worked hard, and I couldn't ask for a better team." Rias thanked them. 

"Yeah. Though sorry I got hit in my privates." Sonic said sheepishly while wincing. 

"Sure, you got nailed in the nads, but you did turn the tides of the game," Yumi said, complementing Sonic's skills. 

"For real!" Akeno agreed. 

"Yeah! I think you helped bring the team together!" Asia praised him. Koneko even smiled and nodded at him. 

"Thanks, guys!" Sonic thanked them. Rias also gave a bright smile. 

"Now then, it's time to get these two a couple of Familiars," Rias said, referring to Sonic and Asia. "Starting tomorrow, first thing in the morning, it's off to Familiar Forest." 

The gang cheered in agreement, and their celebration continued throughout the rest of the night. 

Familiar Forest   

A large Gremory glyph had appeared on the forest floor and up rose Sonic and his friends. "So, this is the Familiar Forest?" Asked Sonic as he and Asia. 

"Sure is. The magical forest where all the familiars live." Akeno said. 

"When I thought of a magical forest, I was thinking, ya know, unicorns, phoenixes, nine-tailed foxes, Pegasus, Nemean lions, and other creatures from mythologies," Sonic said. 

"It is a little creepy…" Asia said, staying close to Sonic. 

Sonic looked around some more. "I've been to more mystical forests," he said. "Some with oversized frogs, large temples, deep underground labyrinths, and complicated traps and puzzles." He continued. 

"Didn't you blow one up or something?" Koneko asked, recalling one story Sonic had told them about a particular forest. 

"That wasn't even my fault!" Sonic exclaimed. At that point, something landed on Sonic's nose, which he went cross-eyed over. It was a tiny sprite. It glowed white. 

"Awwww, she's so pretty!" Asia said, enthralled by the small Familiars' bright light and appearance. 

"It's been said Pixies tend to glow when they approach someone they like or trust," Rias said, smirking at Sonic. "Perhaps you want one?" 

Sonic's face and head were covered with more Sprites, each glowing in different colors like Sonic was a Christmas tree. All you could see of him was his green eyes, which showed him deadpanning. He then shook his head violently, each fairy getting spooked by the quick movements and fluttering away from him, akin to a school of butterflies. In addition to that, sparkly dust also left his person. 

"I'm good," Sonic said, ruffling his quills, which got leftover dust to come off. "More of a genie in a ring kinda of guy." 

"Hello there!" a new voice called for them. The group looked up to see a man wearing casual standing on a tree branch, but his style resembled much of a Pokémon Trainer. Sonic was reminded of Ash Ketchum. He leaped from the "I'm Zatouji, the familiar master." 

"Greetings, Zatouji; I'm here to have my newest servants obtain their familiar," Rias explained. 

"Wait," Sonic said. "That's the Familiar Master?" He questioned, pointing at the 'master' in question. 

"Same one who gave us our Familiars," Yumi said, with Koneko nodding. 

"Why? What were you expecting?" Rias asked Sonic with a chuckle. 

Sonic didn't even know anymore. If he was sincere, he expected a guy with a large book, a wizard or mage with a magical staff or wand, a guy with dark armor with a scary appearance, an army of knights, hell, even a buffed-out person wielding an oversized sword. Hearing this man was in charge of supposedly important supernatural beings, Sonic expected someone scary and intimidating. 

Then again, after all the things he's experienced in this world, he shouldn't even be surprised anymore. 

"You've come back for familiars galore, and you came at the right time, that's for sure!" Zatouji said. "Just be sure to stay by my side, for I'll be the one to act as your guide!" 

"I think he's read too many Doctor Seuss novels…" Sonic said, sweatdropping at the Familiar Expert's antics. He certainly was interesting; at least Asia seemed amazed, though. 

Zatouji began bragging about his ability to find the perfect familiar for people. While the supernatural listened, Sonic wondered if he had a few screws loose in his head. A screech interrupted Zatouji's speech, making everyone look around for the source. Looking up at the tree, they saw an orange bird with golden trimmings and yellow eyes. It was a beautiful bird drawing the group's attention, especially the familiar master. 

"Incredible! I thought one would never come out!" 

"Um, what kind of familiar is that, Towji?" Asia asked curiously. 

"That's my young friend is a phoenix. An extremely rare familiar that rarely ever show their faces." 

While the rest were busy admiring the bird, Rias frowned when she heard the word 'phoenix' and looked down. Her sudden mood change caught the attention of the Knight of the Wind. 

"Is something the matter, Rias?" 

Rias blinked from her stump and shook her head, "N-no, it's nothing... nothing..." 

Sonic was still unconvinced, but he respected her decision since it was not his current business. 

Sonic stared at the phoenix as it did the same. He slowly walks forward, catching everyone's attention and wondering what he is doing. Next, he raises his arm, signaling the phoenix to come closer. It came down and landed on Sonic's right forearm. Sonic began stroking it, pleasing the mythical bird greatly. Everyone was in shock to see how easily Sonic connected with the firebird with no effort at all. 

"Amazing, I never thought I would see the day that a phoenix forms a contract," Towji said in awe. 

"My Sonic, you sure do have a way with animals," Akeno replied with a hand on her cheek. "Are you going to give him a name?" 

Sonic looks at the Queen and then back at the bird for a moment before giving her an answer. "Yeah, I'll call him Sundor," Sonic said. "Sundor?" Akeno asked. 

He nodded in confirmation while the phoenix screeched, liking the name. 

"That's pretty creative Sonic. His colors do look like the sun," Raynare complimented while pressing her chest against his right arm, earning her a glare from Akeno. 

Rolling his eyes in annoyance, Sonic was about to end it when something appeared before his eyes. He blinked for a second, wondering what it was. Soon, he grabs his head as a sharp, intense pain attacks his mind. He quickly holds the sides of it and groans, catching everybody's attention. Rias and Kalawarner immediately went to his side with an expression of concern. 

"Sonic/Master!" 

Inside his head, flashes of a sizeable shadowy beast with golden eyes appear in his mind, roaring in tremendous rage before engulfing the image with its blue flames. Once it was over, Sonic growled as the pain faded, leaving his head pounding. 

Rias touched his left cheek to bring his face to hers, "Sonic, are you okay?" 

"*Sigh* I'm fine," he answered before putting one hand down while the other rubbed his throbbing head. 

Kalawarner starts rubbing his head as well, hoping to dull the throbbing, "What happened?" 

"I... don't know... I had some vision." 

"What did you see?" Rias asked. 

"It was a large shadowy silhouette that was enraged. It had golden eyes, and its voice sounded like a female. It began swinging her head around in rage before roaring one more time. Then blue flames appear, engulfing the image." 

While the Devils and Fallen Angels tried to figure out what Sonic saw, Towji became pale. "Golden eyes, female voice, blue flames... It can't be!" 

"Young man," the familiar master called, causing Sonic to stop rubbing his, including Kalawarner, "What did the figure look like?" 

"I couldn't make it out, but I think it was a large dragon with wings of some sort." 

Towji got even paler as he softly muttered one word, "Tiamat..." 

"Who?" 

"Tiamat... one of the Five Great Dragon Kings..." Towji's statement made the supernatural pale, except for Sonic and Asia. 

"Wait, you mean   the   Tiamat?" Rias asked in disbelief. 

"Tiamat? As in Tiamat the Chaos Karma Dragon?" Kalawarner said with a bit of sweat down her face. 

"Tiamat, as in the Tiamat who rampages around the world occasionally?" Akeno placed a hand over her lips. 

"That Tiamat!?" Raynare shouted. 

"That will be the one," Towji confirmed, making the supernatural pale. 

"Will someone enlighten me about what you guys are talking about?" Sonic crosses his arms, growing impatient for his answer. The familiar master cleared his throat to answer him. 

"Tiamat is one of the few remaining living dragons in this world. She is among the Five Great Dragon Kings, a high-power class in the dragons' lifestyle. She is the first female dragon to obtain the title of Great Dragon King, and her strength is feared by many." 

"Okay, so why did I just have a vision of her?" 

"It only happens rarely, but sometimes the will of the forest picks the familiar for the person through a vision. It would seem that the forest decided to give you one." 

Sonic grew curious. "Hmm..." 

"You're not thinking of going?" Rias asked. 

"So what if I am?" 

"You can't just go visit a powerful being without assistance. Let-" 

Sonic raised a hand that prevented her from finishing, "No. We came to get familiars, and I'm not leaving until I find out why I was called to her." 

'Partner, listen to her!' Ddraig shouted, panicking, not wanting to face Tiamat. 

Sonic ignored Ddraig, much to his ire. 

Rias wanted to argue, but she knew he was right. Kalawarner smirked, seeing a perfect opportunity to spend alone with Sonic, "Then allow me to accompany you, Master." 

"No, Kalawarner, you will stay here," Sonic ordered, making the older Fallen Angel blink in surprise. "I will go see this Tiamat dragon for myself. I rather see for myself what's so mighty about this dragon." 

"Aren't you scared?" Yumi asked, surprised. 

"Nikki, shouldn't it be best for you to have backup?" Viser asked, concerned for his well-being. 

"It takes more than a giant lizard to scare me." Sonic said, "Besides, I fought two dragons and faced worse things in my old world." 

Sonic asked Towji for the location of Tiamat while the supernatural were baffled. They couldn't believe that he called the Great Dragon King a giant lizard; then again, Sonic did face worse things in the past. 

With Sonic   

After separating from the group, Sonic went to the far side of the forest to find the lair of Tiamat. He encounters some familiars along the way, and some try to attack him. Sonic defeated them without any effort. 

A few minutes later, he stood before a large cavern leading into total darkness. Sonic examined the cave's exterior and was about to step inside.

"Who dares trespass into my home!?" 

"Me," Sonic responded, not intimidated by the mighty roar. He glared into the cavern when giant footsteps could be heard, and it was coming straight towards him. Standing before him was a huge blue female Western Dragon with piercing golden eyes. 

The giant dragon looks to the ground only to blink at what the trespasser is, "A human, here?" 

"Is it that's surprising?" 

"Yes, since it is quite rare to see one here. Hmm, what is this?" Tiamat gazed up at the air as anger sparked in her eyes, "This presence... Ddraig..." 

"Ddraig?" 

Tiamat stared down at Sonic with great anger, "ARE YOU THE WIELDER OF THE BOOSTED GEAR!?" 

Sonic jumped a bit at the rage Tiamat was displaying. 'Yikes! Ddraig, what did you do to piss her off!?' Sonic asked Ddraig. 

'During one of my battles with Albion, I lost her treasures, and they are scattered around the world.' Ddraig said sheepishly. 

'YOU WHAT!? WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS NOW!?' Sonic shouted mentally. 

'I forgot, okay?!' Ddraig shouted. 

'HOW CAN YOU FORGET AN ANGRY GREAT DRAGON KING WHO WANTS TO BURN ME TO DEATH?!' Sonic shouted mentally. 

He was broken out of his train of thought when the female Dragon King whipped her tail in front of him. "ANSWER ME!" 

"Yes, I'm Ddraig's wielder. And what are you going to do to him?" Sonic asked, summoning his Boosted Gear. 

"IT'S TIME FOR HIS PUNISHMENT!" Tiamat shouted. 

"Sorry, but I'm not gonna allow you to kill him," Sonic responded 

"You dare defy me, human?  "   Tiamat aggressively snorted, creating a gust of wind at him. 

"I do." 

"  Very well then." She got into a fighting position, "I shall simply destroy you!" 

"Give it your best shot." 

Tiamat tried to stomp him, but Sonic spun and dashed away. Tiamat continued to crush and whip her tail at Sonic. The difference in size allows Sonic to avoid her strikes with ease. He leaps onto one of Tiamat's feet before running up to her head. 

The Chaos Dragon tried to shake him off, but Sonic held on tight and continued up. Finally, he reaches to the top of her head and uses his homing attack on her. Typically, a punch would tickle a dragon, but somehow, Tiamat felt her headache a lot. She swung her head around, trying to get him off as he continued to use his homing attack on her. She was finally able to shake him off, sending him flying in the air. Taking the opportunity, she swung her tail at him to slam him into the ground. 

Sonic was able to recover and grab the tail. He swings himself back down to the ground and then charges back at the dragon. Tiamat tried to bite Sonic, but he avoided them easily. The two danced briefly before Sonic saw an opportunity to attack. He waited for her to try to bite him again, only to avoid it and run up to her on the front of her face. He then flips forward to deliver a spin dash to her head before being pushed back. Sonic landed on his feet, sliding around a little before glaring at her. 

"You may be a strong devil, but nothing will stop me from killing the Red Dragon Emperor!" she roared. 

Seeing what she could do, Sonic decided it was time to bargain. "Maybe we can make a deal then." 

"A deal?" Tiamat questioned. 

"Look, Ddraig lost your treasure, right?" Sonic asked, getting a nod from her. Tiamat nodded. 

"What if we searched for them?" Sonic asked, getting a skeptical look from Tiamat. 

"How do I know you are telling me the truth?" Tiamat asked. 

Sonic smirked at her and ran circles around her, making her look at him in shock as he teleported in front of her. 

"Let's say I'm the Fasting Thing Alive where I'm from," Sonic answered her as he lay on top of her head while rubbing his nose. 

Tiamat will admit that it does sound more appealing than simply ending him, but there's one thing that needs to be added to the equation. "What's the catch?" 

"Just become familiar," Sonic said. 

"And?" Tiamat asked, still skeptical about his answer. 

"And nothing," he replied, making the Chaos Karma Dragon blink in surprise. "Your help and loyalty are all I want, nothing more. You have much more to gain from this than to lose. Your freedom from being constantly being asked to be a Devil's familiar and to leave this forest finally. You can choose whatever you want to do as long as you help me and Rias Peerage. So, Tiamat, what is your answer?" 

The Blue Dragon lowered her head to his level as a reflection of Sonic appeared over her eyes, "What is your name, devil?" 

"In public, Nikki Kaosu, but in secret, just Sonic," Sonic said, smiling at her as he gave her a thumbs up. 

She softly chuckles as a smile spreads, "You are quite a strange devil, Sonic." 

"I get that a lot." Sonic joked. 

"Indeed,"     she replied before raising her head. Soon, blue flames covered her body, forcing Sonic to jump off her head and shield himself from the flames. The flames dance wild, shrinking with each passing second until it is gone. 

Sonic lowered his arms to see that the Chaos Karma Dragon was gone, and a young woman stood before him. She was a beautiful woman with pale blue hair from the middle of her back, pale skin, and golden eyes. She wore a pale blue dress with matching shoes. Her body has an incredible bust, which seems bigger than Ria's. Around her was a cold atmosphere, which added to her beauty. 

It didn't take long for Sonic to piece things together, "Tiamat?" 

"Surprise, are you?" she smirked, crossing her arms under her bosom. "I can shapeshift into a human." 

"Huh, so like Rias familiar?" Sonic hummed. 

The Chaos Karma Dragon approached him to show she was three inches taller than him, "Shall we begin?" 

"Begin what?" Sonic raised an eyebrow at her. 

"Forming the contract." 

Sonic looked at her and shook his head, "Is that necessary?" 

"What?" Tiamat asked, completely confused about what he was saying. 

"I ask for your help and loyalty, not your life." 

"Eh?" 

"To me, this contract is just another way of enslaving someone and taking away their freedom, and it goes against my beliefs," Sonic said, waving her off. 

Tiamat was stunned at what she heard. Typically, any person would form a contract with their familiar right away to ensure their loyalty. Hearing him say that he didn't want one and how it felt like enslaving her came as quite a surprise to her. She thought it was just him being nice, but the look in his emerald eyes showed a deep hatred for the idea of slavery, an intense hatred. It was shocking to see such hatred in a young man, and I wondered why he had it. For now, she will leave it alone until the time is right. 

"For me to be free of being asked to be a familiar, we need to form this contract," she explained, causing Sonic to sigh. 

"Fine," Sonic said before clearing his throat. 

Sonic recited the words Rias said to use when he claimed a familiar. 

"In the name of Nikki Kaosu and devils everywhere, I command you accept this Great Dragon King to be my familiar forever," Sonic said as a green summoning square appeared below Tiamat's feet. 

"So, how do you feel?" Sonic asked concerned. 

"I feel great. Thank you for asking, master~" Tiamat said seductively before hugging his face close to her breast. 

'Great another one.' Sonic thought with a twitch in his brow. 

'Be glad she won't burn you to death.' Ddraig sighs in relief. 

"You need to take responsibility for my treasure; otherwise, I will burn you both to death," Tiamat whispered to Sonic. 

This caused Sonic and Ddraig to whimper in fear. 

'Never mind,' Ddraig whimpered. 

'Why did you do this to me?' Sonic whined mentally. 

Both of them heard a scream. "Who else is here?" Tiamat asked, letting go of Sonic. 

"What in the? That was Asia!" Sonic exclaimed, grabbing Tiamat before running to the others. 

Rias and the Others   

Back with the others, things could have looked better for them. 

Coming down from the sky, a rain of green slime fell upon them. Zatouji had his eyes covered in slime and didn't try to get it off. The girls were covered in slime. The slime covered their bodies, slowly burning through their clothing, revealing more of their skins. Their faces soon turn crimson, and they scream in embarrassment. 

"Girls!" the girls turned to see Sonic coming out of the forest with a woman behind. "What is going on here? What was that scream?" 

Sonic's face turns red seeing the disturbing slime scene. The girls were down to their undergarments, and they were extremely uncomfortable in the position they were in. 

"Absorbing secretions of females and their clothes is the only power of this slime, which is fine. Fun for a while, but in the end, an absolute waste of time." Said Zatouji, who had his eyes covered by the slime but didn't care. 

"No shit, that's all it does?!" asked Sonic in disbelief. 

"AH! The pain hurts so good!" Said Akeno with a deeper moan, going into S&M mode as the slime continued to squeeze her. 

Sonic tried to remove the Slime from Asia, making her moan louder. 

Sonic was still struggling and growling with the slime, but at this point, he had enough. "Oh, THAT'S IT!" 

"Tiamat, if you please," he called as he looked away, trying to hide his crimson face. 

Tiamat understood and was surprised to see how modest he was. Any average guy would be drooling their mouth out at the sight of this, but he chose to look away. She couldn't help but smirk at him, thinking that his familiarity would be attractive. She took a deep breath, lightly blowing blue flames at the girls. The azure flames did not harm the girls, but the slimes were burned to a crisp. Wasting no time, the devils summoned another set of their uniform and replaced the burned outfits of the fallen angels and Viser, too. 

Rias was the first to recover despite feeling violated, only to notice the newcomer, "Um, Sonic, who is this?" 

"This is Tiamat." 

It took a few seconds before the entire group's jaws dropped, "EEEEEHHHH!?" 

"Y-y-you manage to form a contract with a Great Dragon King?" Rias asked nervously. 

"I-I-I don't believe it... He tamed the Great Dragon King.." Zatouji muttered in disbelief. 

"That's my Nikki~," Akeno said with a smile. 

Raynare glared at her rival with a raised brow, "Your Nikki? Sorry, but my master is mine alone. Go find someone else, bat." 

"Naughty little bird, you stole my line. Nikki is mine, so how about you find someone else?" Akeno happily threatens while lightning dances around her fingers. 

"Make me," Raynare retorted, summoning her red light lance. 

Tiamat gazes upon the group. "So these are people you came with, Sonic?" 

"Yep," Sonic said, nodding at her. 

Sometime later, they continued to trek through the magical woods. Leading the group through the forest, the older man suddenly stopped. "Oh my... look! Up high!" He said, pointing upwards to a small creature perched on a branch. It appeared to be a blue baby dragon of some kind. 

"It's so cute!" Asia said, finding this dragon to be quite impressive 

"Huh, dragons are pretty rare in the Familiar Forest," Yumi said, impressed like Asia to see such a creature. 

"I believe it's a Sprite Dragon, but this is the first time I've ever seen one in person." Said Rias, also impressed by the sight of the small dragon. "They're considered one of the highest ranks of Familiars." 

Sonic looked up at the new Familiar like everyone else. Now, he's learned to never judge a book, or storybook for that matter, by its cover, but comparing this one to other dragons he's fought when wielding a talking sword. 

"I mean, it is cute. But it's no Mist Dragon or Earth Dragon; it doesn't seem that bad," he said, standing next to Asia. 

The Sprite Dragon, looking out into the distance and not concerning itself with its admirers' below, glanced in the direction of Sonic and Asia with its eyes, then turned its head to look more directly at him. Opening its mouth, it blasted lightning. 

ZAP! 

"YIKES!" Sonic grabbed Asia and quickly ran in a blur out of the line of fire, barely missing, getting shocked by the attack. Not only that, but the ground Sonic and Asia were also standing on beforehand now looked charred. For a little guy, that Sprite Dragon had both accuracy and power. It was no wonder it was such a high class of Familiar. 

"Cute and dangerous, too," Zatouji revealed, which made Sonic scratch his quills with a nervous grin and chuckle. "If this is the one you want, better act now and claim, for once Sprite Dragons mature, they can no longer be tamed." He added, saying if this extremely rare Familiar were the one they wanted, they'd better do so now. 

"Sprite Dragons don't usually attack unless they believe they or their loved ones are in trouble," Rhymed Zatouji. "Which means it, and that lovely lady should be bound together on the double!" 

"So, the dragon attacked Sonic because it thought Asia was in danger? Does that mean Asia and that Dragon have a bond already?" Yumi asked in a surprised tone. As she said this, Asia held her hands, which the Sprite Dragon jumped into once it noticed. Asia began petting the dragon's head, to which the dragon gave a purring sound, liking the attention it was receiving from its new master. 

"That's right, it seems you were able to find your familiar as well, young lady!" Zatouji said with a smile. 

Sonic couldn't help but smile as he moved over to Asia and patted the girl on the head. Asia smiled at Sonic, enjoying the small moment of finding a cute familiar and being praised by the man who saved her. Though it came to an end, Sonic spoke up again. "Is he growling at me?" Asia looked at the Dragon in her arms and saw it was gathering lightning around its body, growling a little at Sonic. 

"Hold on! This is my friend, and Nikki would never hurt me!" The lighting around the tiny Dragon seemed to calm itself slightly, staring at Sonic as if it was judging him. He sniffed at Sonic, smelling Ddraig's scent on him. After a few seconds, the Sprite Dragon nodded before resting against Asia's grip. 

"Looks like you're a real lucky one, Blue," Sonic looked at Zatouji with a confused look, "Male Dragons hate males of other species; the fact that it accepts you near the female it chose is pretty rare." 

"Thanks for the tip. Well, well, at least I know that he'll keep creeps and perverts away from her." Sonic said. 

"In the name of Asia Argento and Devils everywhere, I ask you to accept this pact and be my Familiar forever." She said, using the proper spell to bond them. It was successful, and the dragon flew up to its new master to engage in another hug. The sprite dragon liked to cuddle. "H-Hey! That tickles, Rassei!" Asia added, the dragon nuzzling its new owner. 

"Rassei?" Sonic asked, raising a brow. 

"That's the name I picked out for him," Asia said. Rassei purred at this. 

"GAAAAAAAAAH!" For some reason, Sonic was zapped by Rassei, and he also falling and sparking. 

"Well, it seems like someone is mischievous!" Zatouji commented as Rassei snickered at Sonic; the girls giggled at this. 

"I'll get you for this, you little lizard." Sonic groaned before standing back up. 

Sonic then saw a white nine-tailed fox, a white cat, a purple cat with a curly tail, a crooked wizard hat, and a necklace with a bell walking toward him. 

"Huh, well, would you look at that?" Zatouji looked at him in shock." You have a nine-tailed fox and two bakeneko, too." 

"What do they do?" Sonic asked curiously as he petted them. Three of them nuzzle to his touch. 

"The Nine-Tailed Fox manipulates foxfire for hypnosis, drains life force or even souls, or uses their flames to travel by riding the fire or changing/becoming it. They can use illusions, induce insanity, possess others, fly, and induce sleep paralysis. Zatouji explained. 

"The Bakeneko are immune to poisons, bacteria, and diseases. They can dream, walk, fly, manipulate ghost light, consume substances without injury, necromancy, and have spiritual awareness." Zatouji, much to everyone's shock. 

Sonic looked at the two of them for a moment. "Do you guys want to be with me?" Sonic asked the three of them. 

The nine-tailed fox and bakenekos nodded at him. 

"Alrighty then, what should I call you?" Sonic hummed to himself. 

Both the fox and cats yiped and mewled at Zatouji. 

"Seems like they want to be called Heewon, Himari, and Blair." Zatouji translated to Sonic, who nodded. 

"Sundor, come here," Sonic ordered. Sundor flew to the ground next to the three familiars. 

"In the name of Nikki Kaosu and devils everywhere, I command you accept these Phoenix, Nine-Tailed Fox, and two Bakenekos to be my familiar forever," Sonic said as the green summoning square appeared below his familiars. 

"Well, as much as this has been an interesting day. I believe it's time for you youngsters to head home." Zatouji said, checking his watch and noticing how late it was. 

"Thank you for your assistance, Zatouji," Rias said to the familiar master. 

"No problemo, Lady Gremory! Always an honor to help anyone in need of their familiar!" Zatouji said. 

"Yeah, I think it's time we head home too." Sonic yawned, feeling tired after today's events. 

Sonic and the others began to try to leave. Once the new gateway was opened, they teleported away, back to the human world where they belonged. 

"Nice kids. They've got a powerful bond," Zatouji observed about that group that came in. "They'll be going places, from here to anywhere beyond." He added before walking off and leaving the site, leaving the part of the forest quiet. 

Chapter Text

Nighttime   

ORC Building   

Sonic and the others and his familiars returned to the ORC Building. Sonic stretched his legs and yawned. 

"I'm not sure about you guys, but I'm heading to sleep." Sonic yawned as he wanted to sleep. 

"Don't forget you must be with us tonight to recover your strength." Rias reminded him. 

"Don't remind me!" Sonic groaned in annoyance, reminded that he was still weak. 

"And you are going to help me find my treasures too." Tiamat reminded with a smirk on her face, making him pale a bit. 

"Wait, why does he need to recover his strength?" Raynare asked, surprised that Sonic needed help, considering he defeated her without ease. 

"Issei's body weakened, Nikki. What do you expect from a pervert like him." Koneko said bluntly. 

"I checked Issei's health record," Viser said dryly. "He ends up being sent to the nurses' office along with the Perverted Duo more often than the boys in Kuoh." 

"Hmm, I bet he has never seen a girl naked before," Kalawarner muttered to herself lustfully with a blush, but it was loud enough to be still heard. 

"Crow, he saw me naked a couple of times," Rias informs, causing Sonic to blush and the fallen to open their jaw. 

"EH!?" 

Sonic shifted his eyes to the heiress, who was giggling at his face, causing him to sigh, "Do you have to be so casual about it." 

"It's true, though. I must admit, though, many guys would love the opportunity to see me naked, yet you act all gentlemanly and look the other way." Rias said kindly. 

"I have no right to see you naked, and we're not a couple, even though you gave me your permission," Sonic said, looking away from her. 

"Of course you do. Though I only give that permission to my Peerage, you've been with us long enough that I am comfortable to show you. All you have to do is ask, and you can see." Rias smiles at him, causing his blush to become redder. 

"Same goes for me, Master~," Kalawarner slurs as she wraps her arms around Sonic's neck, pressing her bosoms against his back, "Just order me to strip, and I will heed the call." 

Annoyed, Rias yanks Sonic away from her, pressing her bosoms against his arm, "He's not interested in seeing the body of an old hag." 

"What did you say, spoil brat?" Kalawarner snarled. 

Sonic watches the two begin arguing and play tug of war with him while Tiamat places a hand on her head in amusement. 

A pair of slender arms wrapped around his neck, shifting his gaze to the source to see it was Akeno with a blush and lustful eyes. "Rias is quite bold to say that out loud. But~" she licks then nibbles Sonic's left ear for a moment, "Something just occurred to me, Sonic. Have you ever had sex before?" 

Sonic stared silently at the ebony Queen with embarrassment, but Akeno understood Sonic well enough to figure out what he thought, "My, you haven't? Well, then, I wouldn't mind having you take my virginity." 

Sonic was about to break free when someone started hugging him from the front and licked his right cheek. Swiftly, he turns his head to see it was Raynare who had her ribbon untied and her collar open to reveal her breasts. 

She twirls her finger over Sonic's chest with the eyes of a predator, and Sonic is her prey. "Same here, Nikki~. Just ask, and I will strip for you." 

"Come on; you know you want to~" Akeno slurs after licking Sonic's left ear more. 

The two Lolis glared at them before grabbing one of his arms, stating they wouldn't give him up. 

Sonic phased through all six of the girl's holds. "I think we should go to sleep now," Sonic said with a bit of annoyance while he had a blush on his cheeks, making the girls giggle. 

"Don't forget you are going to be training with us as well after school." A voice said. 

The others turned around and saw Sona and Tsubaki. Sona had a blush and a nervous look when she looked at Sonic, remembering that Sonic was now her fiancé after defeating her in chess. 

"About time; I was wondering when we would train together," Sonic said, hoping that he would do Something worth his time. ` 

"Save it for tomorrow, Sonic. You'll need the energy you'll need for your training." Sona said, "Rias, can you and I speak briefly?" 

Rias nodded at her. Sonic and the others left, leaving Rias and Sona the only ones in the ORC Building. 

"Is there something you want to talk about Sona?" Rias asked, concerned at Sona's nervousness. 

Sona took a deep breath and said, "Sonic beat me in chess!" 

Rias' eyes were wide as plates, and her jaw dropped. "W-Wait! Are we sure we're talking about our Sonic? The same Sonic that has left the room!?" Rias asked. Sona nodded with a dark red hue on her face. 

"Sona, does he know?" Rias asked, knowing how Sonic is against taking people's freedom and slavery. 

"No, not yet. I will tell him after you beat Riser in a Rating Game." Sona said she was still nervous about marrying Sonic. 

"I don't know how Sonic will handle this." Rias sighed as she rubbed her temples. 

"Hopefully, he won't take this too badly," Sona muttered, hoping her family and Serafall wouldn't react too badly. 

Sonic's House   

Sonic looked at his house. He was dumbfounded at what was right in front of him. Gone was the two-story house he was living in. It was replaced with a skyscraper mansion of 30 stories. 

"What in the?" Sonic asked dumbly. 

"Oh, it seems Rias and Sona forgot to tell you." Akeno hummed innocently. 

"You girls knew about this!?" Sonic asked as he looked around the house. 

"Maybe~," Yumi said teasingly. 

Sonic super-speeded inside the house. The first floor had guest rooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and Japanese-style rooms. The second floor had Sonic's room, Asia's room, Viser's room, and the fallen angel's room. The rest of the top floors had rooms of their own. The rooftop had a communal zen garden. The house had seven basement floors. The first basement floor had a library. The second basement floor had a heated indoor swimming pool. The third floor had a gym. The fourth floor had an arcade room with gaming systems such as the PlayStation Series, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Series. The fourth floor had a storage area. The fifth room had a medical bay. The sixth floor had a simulation room. The seventh floor had a storage room. The house had elevators and a garage. 

Sonic ran out of the house in front of the team. "Gosh, Rias and Sona went all out," Sonic said, shaking his head in disbelief. 

"You are part of Ria's peerage, so she thought it was best you get a better house than your old house," Akeno said warmly. 

"Yeah, at least it's better than-" Sonic stopped his sentence momentarily before he sensed Something. 

"Hm? Is there Something wrong, Nikki?" Asia asked worryingly.  

Sonic saw the Gremory Clan seal glowing red. "Already?" Sonic asked, annoyed. 

Sonic turned to the girls. "You girls go. I will handle this all by myself." Sonic said as he teleported away. 

"Are you sure you want to do this alone?" Koneko asked, concerned for him. "I'm fine. Besides, I learned my lesson from last time," Sonic reassured her before teleporting to his client. 

Northwestern Part of Kuoh Town   

Sonic appeared in a forest area of Kuoh Town. Sonic looked around the area, searching for his client. 

"Alright, this smells like an ambush," Sonic said as he ran off, searching for his client or attacker. Then, he felt a spike of energy. 

It was a spike of supernatural energy, which he had gotten used to thanks to his stay in this new world. 

At first, Sonic didn't recognize it, but he did sense that whatever it was, it was further up north in the forest. 

Sonic came upon a peculiar sight once he reached his destination: a battlefield. 

A battlefield that was recently made thanks to the people who were occupying this piece of the forest. 

And right in the middle were two females who were very much surrounded. 

Standing back-to-back against one another, those two girls were amidst a virtual sea of disfigured stray devils of all shapes and sizes, which were here with deadly intentions. 

Among them, the shorter was a short girl with childish features and very risqué clothing. 

She wore what looked like a black leather top that only covered her up to her ribs and two black straps crisscrossing to make an 'X' over her stomach. 

She also wore pink and white striped stockings, as well as a pair of quite visible black underwear. 

Her long silver hair, which reached the middle of her back, was flailing around as she jerked her head around her, and her purple eyes were glistening sharply at the dangerous situation that she found herself in. 

Sonic narrowed his eyes, studying her closer as he noticed Something framing the crown of her head. 

... 

Wait, were those  horns?   

Sonic couldn't help but do a double take at the sight of the little horns on the girl's head but quickly snapped himself out of it. 

Now really wasn't the time to stare. 

So, taking the chance given to him in the apparent lull in the fighting, Sonic focused his attention on the other figure, who, he assumed, was the silverette's partner. 

The other girl was far more, physically at least, likely to be around Sonic's age, and, thankfully, it didn't make him feel like he was committing a crime by staring. 

She had vibrant red hair, which was partially pulled into two separate pigtails that were held together with a pair of long black strings, with the rest of her hair flowing freely down to her waist, framing her pink eyes. 

In terms of physique, she was practically the polar opposite of the other girl, as she had quite the voluptuous body, which was contained in a pink top that was hanging on her shoulders and a frilly blue skirt to complete her ensemble. 

All in all, the duo was quite an interesting pair. One that most wouldn't see every day. 

And they were both clearly in great distress since they were up against multiple monsters on all sides. 

Without making a sound, the Blue Blur charged in, intent on getting those girls out alive and unharmed. 

The first of the monsters that took notice of the hero was an ugly half-human/half-fish monstrosity, which barely managed to notice him as it turned around, attempting to roar out to grab the attention of the other beasts. 

It needed to be faster. 

With eyes so sharp that it was unbefitting on the face of a teenage boy, Sonic swiftly swung his fist at the beast's stomach, knocking all of the air in the monster's body. 

With that done, he quickly and efficiently stabbed his ring blade through the monster's throat, ending its life before it ever got the chance to warn its comrades. 

Unsurprisingly, Sonic wasn't too concerned about mindless monsters, as he felt nothing but blood lust from them. 

Not wasting any time, he moved on to the next one, a man with a pincer for a mouth and sharp claws for his hands. 

"I hope you guys didn't try and start the party without me!?" Sonic shouted in exuberance as the stray devil quickly turned around, only to be met with a blade for its trouble, as the ring blade dug deep into its -probable- brain. 

The bug beast fell like a stone, with Sonic charging towards his next victim. 

As soon as Sonic's declaration rang out, it stopped the fighting about to start anew for a split-second, long enough so that everyone there could acknowledge the newcomer in slight shock. 

That shock vanished for the monstrous creatures when they saw that two of their comrades were down and who exactly was responsible. 

Two monsters quickly flew into a frenzy and charged at Sonic, getting him to start a new round of clever -in his mind- quips before he noticed that the third and final monster was about to take advantage of the girls' momentary distraction. 

"Hey, don't gawk at me! Look out!" Sonic shouted to them, breaking both of them out of their trance. 

In alarm at the incoming attacks, they both moved to dodge the final monster's assault, but the redhead was too slow and was stabbed by one of the monster's sharp legs right through her shoulder. 

"Mio!" the little silver-haired girl cried out, charging forward to engage the final monster, her face twisting in worry. "Hang in there!" 

Right then, Sonic realized that, while holding back was necessary, this was not the time for doing so, as those two were barely holding out. 

So, with practiced ease, he dodged the flying goblin's nosedive and the standing pit bull's hard fist before channeling energy within him. 

In a blink, Sonic moved to the side of both monsters, sliding to line them both up for a shot. 

Without hesitation, he threw a chaos spear at speeds neither of the beasts could react to and cleanly pierced the pit bull and flying goblin through their chests. 

Both beasts fell in short order. 

Though Sonic didn't see them fall, as he was already moving to back up the kid, confident enough in his skills to know that they were down. 

Sonic ducked under the body of the strange hybrid of a spider and a woman; he sliced off each one of its legs before the monster even realized what had happened. 

When 'she' did, however, it screamed out in pain and stumbled back on her stumps, giving the scantily clad girl the opening that she needed. 

The silhouette then brought her tiny fist out and smashed it at the spider-woman's body, sending it through   a tree, practically taking it down and killing the monster instantly. 

And, just like that, the little battle was over. 

Sonic wasn't focused on that, however, as he moved to the red-headed girl who had received the stab wound, face tight with slight worry. 

He wasn't a medic by any means, but thankfully, Asia was at his house. Taking a cursory glance, he quickly figured that the wound wasn't nasty. It was superficial. 

Still, she was unconscious, though he doubted that it had much to do with the attack itself. 

As he checked her out, he quickly noticed the dark bags under her eyes, making him look at her in concern. 

The girl was exhausted. 

If she was already at the brink before she got stabbed, then that could have probably made her collapse thanks to sudden pain, shocking her system enough to knock her out cold. 

In short, she needed rest desperately. 

While this was happening, the silhouette cautiously moved to the Sonic's side, anxiously waiting for whatever he had to say. 

The two of them were in the wrong spot, so while she didn't trust him completely, he did prove to, at least, want them alive. Something that she couldn't say that a lot of people wanted. 

More than that, he helped them fight off a lot of stray devils when it would have been easier to stay out of the whole affair altogether. 

Plus, if she thought about it, she doubted she could do anything to stop him anyway since the skills he used to take out the insane devils were outside of her abilities. 

Unless she used her trump card, she wasn't willing to risk it with Mio in such a state. 

"She's fine, just tired. The wound isn't too serious either, so she will be alright if she gets some rest and cleans up the wound." Sonic finally spoke up with a small smile of reassurance. 

The girl let out a sigh of relief at the news and nodded her thanks, moving to her young charge to pick her up with her strength. 

In the process of this, she was going to thank their savior properly before she froze up. 

Sonic frowned at the silverette's sudden reaction, wary of another attack. "What's wrong? Are there more of them?" 

"No, no...it isn't that." the girl with the 'horns' replied, her eyebrows scrunching as she pondered their lousy position. 

The reason that she was locking up was simple: the both of them were moving around during the middle of the night for good reason, unfortunately, as their last refuge was found out by the very stray devils that were hunting them down. 

To them, they were like two tasty snacks to be devoured. 

If they returned to their last refuge now, she did not doubt they would be attacked by even more stray devils, especially those instinctively looking to raise their strength. 

Her young charge was half-human, and the unique smell that she had, thanks to her ancestry, helped attract stray devils from quite far away to her in the hopes that they could eat what they viewed as a delicacy. 

Not only that, but the redhead was also unconscious.

Before she could fall into despair due to their situation, an idea sprang to mind that could probably buy them some reprieve: a temporary home. 

A safe place to rest. 

Internally preparing herself, she quickly turned to their savior and pitched her idea. Hopeful. "My young charge is wounded and unconscious while I am tired from the day's fight. Taking that into account, I'd like to ask you whether you could offer us a temporary home where we could recuperate. In return for this favor. I wouldn't mind doing whatever you want for payment." 

Even as she was speaking, she was cringing at the possible degrading things that she may have to endure, well aware that offering herself up like that could very well remove the young man's inhibitions. 

But, it was fine, as long as it was for her charge's sake. 

She was her guardian, and even if she rarely conversed with her, she was still   someone she would guard, no matter what. 

She was locking eyes intensely with Sonic, showing him her grim determination. 

Sonic didn't say anything at first, the only cues being that he raised his arm slowly into the air, hanging there as if presenting his hand for the teacher to call him. 

Then he suddenly swiped his arm back down, slamming his hand down onto the silverette's skull. 

Hard .   

The girl yelped as she faceplanted onto the ground with a comical bump upside her head, recovering after a spare second as she looked up at the bluenette with teary eyes. 

He didn't look amused. 

Sonic, for his part, was very upset at the thought that someone would think that he was heartless enough to take advantage of the situation. 

Among the duo, the redhead was out cold and needed rest. At the same time, her 'guardian' was exhausted, leaving both incredibly vulnerable in the middle of the forest where they could get attacked again. 

He was going to offer them a place to stay anyway.

He plans to lay low and avoid garnering attention to himself be damned when he sees good people in such a desperate situation. 

Despite his anger, however, he couldn't help but be impressed by the silverette's actions, as she hated what she was doing but still did it anyway for her friend. 

Who wouldn't respect Something like that? 

"Why don't you try asking nicely next time, hm?" Sonic questioned, his eyes now reflecting how many points she had won against him. 

The girl in question blinked in shock before trying again, hoping against hope. "Uh...um...will you please give us a place to stay so that my friend here can get better, please?" 

"Much better!" Sonic replied cheerfully, nearly making the girl faceplant with how easy it was. "Now...introductions! Something simple. My name is Nikki Kaosu. And you are?" 

"Huh? Oh...! Well, my name is Maria Naruse, and the unconscious girl here is my charge, Mio Naruse." the now-dubbed Maria said, a growing smile splitting her face. 

Sonic blinked at that; the redhead was Maria's charge? 

Huh. This world kept getting weirder and weirder. 

Shaking his head, Sonic scooped up the unconscious Mio, ready to teleport to his new house. 

It wasn't like helping two random people involved in the supernatural would get the world's attention anyway, right? So, no harm done. 

"Oh, by the way, Mio is the granddaughter of Lucifer, so please make sure she is safe. I'm counting on you, Nikki!" Maria piped up cheerfully, moving up to Sonic. 

Sonic suddenly froze, only just registering what she had said. 

... 

"WHAT?!"

Time Skip   

Sonic's House   

Asia was healing Mio as the others were waiting for Rias and Sona. 

Sonic stared across the vast table at the two recent newcomers, present in what he considered his 'new' home. 

These two girls have recently told him their story: how Maria was a succubus-devil hybrid and how Mio was a hybrid of a devil and a human. 

Hell, he didn't know that hybrids were a thing until now, such was his ignorance, but now he had his master to teach him all about the world of the supernatural. 

But the redhead wasn't just any kind of human/devil hybrid. She was the daughter of Wilbert Lucifer, the son of Lucifer! 

A Devil who is the Ruler of the Underworld. 

Mio Naruse was the granddaughter of one of the Great Satan, who was killed after the Great War. 

He picked the absolute worst person to offer a home to. 

But the fact was that it happened. Nothing could change that now. 

And now that he had offered his home as a safety net against their enemies, Sonic would keep them safe until they could move on their own. 

"Okay, before any of you assume anything. I'm not about to kick either of you out now that Mio is awake." Sonic reassured them quickly, sensing how tense his two guests were by their squared shoulders. 

Considering how the tension immediately left their shoulders following his statement, it was obvious that both of the devils were immensely relieved. 

Besides, he knew full well that even if Mio was conscious now and Maria was no longer sleep-deprived, they were still not at a hundred percent. Not only that but they could both be attacked by stray devils again if they didn't have a secure place to rest. 

Speaking of which. 

"Quick question: why were those monsters after you guys?" Sonic asked, curious about why so many of the stray devils managed to hunt them down. 

Maria tilted her head in confusion. "Didn't I mention that Mio's unique smell attracts such beasts to her? Since she is the daughter of the Strongest Devil, she naturally attracts stray devils since they sense the hidden power inside of her. Unfortunately, since she is part human and still new to her powers, the monsters she attracts try to eat her since they think she's delicious meat." 

"You didn't have to put it like that." the redhead grumbled in soft protest. 

The succubus sweat-dropped by this point, shrugging helplessly at her usually reserved charge. 

Although she seemed to be taking the situation lightly, she was genuinely worried whether the stray devils would drive them from this new temporary home of theirs. 

Just like every other time, they tried to settle down somewhere. 

Sonic massaged his temples as he took in all the information from the two. He could get Rias to help them out or Something. 

"Are you sure you're okay with us being here, Nikki?" Milo asked him nervously. 

Sonic blinked and focused his gaze on the redhead, quietly studying her. 

She was unconscious when Sonic and Maria initially met each other face-to-face, as well as their subsequent conversation with his other friends. 

Now that he was looking at her significantly as she cautiously shifted her gaze away from him, he could quickly figure Something out about her. 

She was scared of him. 

Probably by the fact she was in a strange town, being chased by stray devils and demons, and being in a stranger's home. 

Mio Naruse was a young girl who had lived an everyday life a month before this moment. She, like him, was pretty new to the world of the supernatural. 

That being said, Maria got a good impression of this man while she was out, and she trusted her guardian's advice. 

After all, she would be dead without it guiding her when her foster parents were killed. 

The redhead winced at the thought, still smarting from the fact, but quickly swallowed it down. 

Smiling at her, "Of course I am. I couldn't just leave you guys high and dry, plus I have the space, so as long as you both don't mind sharing a bathroom, you guys are welcome to stay here for as long as you like". 

Even while he was speaking, Sonic was nervously scratching his head, a gesture that Maria thought to be cute. 

"Thank you so much, Nikki Kaosu! We are very grateful for your hospitality." Maria stood bowed deeply to him. 

Sonic twitched, not used to being treated so formally. "Um, you don't need to be so formal with me; you guys can call me Nikki. No need for formalities, not to mention I can let my clients live out on the streets, can I," he said as he scratched his head nervously. 

"Of course!" Maria's bright smile did nothing to distract him from the fact that she had completely ignored him. 

But he had to ignore that moment to address Something more meaningful. 

Ground rules. 

"Alright, since we are going to be living with one another for a while, I guess we'll have to come up with some ground rules," Sonic stated clearly, leaving no room for interpretation. 

Both girls nodded in understanding, grateful to even having a place to crash. 

"First, don't practice any of your magic inside the house unless you're in the new training room, unless it doesn't blow up. Second, you will have some chores to help out around here. Third, I want you guys to teach me everything you know about the supernatural world. Fourth, if you need Something, ask my friends, cool?". Sonic emphasized, trying to be unwavering on these points. 

To be truthful, though, the chores thing was Something that he just made up on the spot while he was thinking about the rules that he could place in his new home. But the other two rules were essential to emphasize. For one thing, he didn't want their new home to be blown to smithereens, and by getting the two to teach him about the supernatural world, he could adapt to his new life as a devil more easily. 

Meanwhile, both girls shot glances at one another once Sonic finished laying out his ground rules, speaking without words. 

After a brief pause, they nodded and returned to Sonic, prepared to agree to his terms. 

A haven with rules was infinitely better than no haven, as they could take a breather from their consistently dangerous lives on the run. 

A crimson glow from behind them caught their attention, and they all turned to see a magic circle, a magic circle that was familiar to Sonic. 

However, Mio and Maria quickly took defensive stances behind him, thinking an attack was imminent. 

Once the magic subsided, Rias stood in place of the transportation circle, holding a familiar red and black box. 

"Ah, Sonic! I was stopping by to drop off your uniform and see how you did on your first contract," she said with a smile. 

She soon lost her smile when she noticed her cute servant wasn't alone. Her features took on a sterner look. 

"Oh, hello, I didn't know you had company, Sonic," Rias said to him pointedly. 

Sonic blinked in confusion, wondering why Rias was being hostile, "U-Um, Hi Rias, how's it going?". 

Her eyes seemed to sharpen at him. "Everything is well, thank you, but aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?". 

He heard both Mio and Maria take a sharp breath behind him. He turned to face them and could see the fear in their eyes. While Maria seemed scared, he could tell she was ready to fight if need be, but Mio looked terrified like the mere sight of Rias paralyzed her. 

But why? Why were these two girls so afraid of Rias? Sure, the look she was giving them at the moment was a little intimidating, but he was sure that once he explained the situation, everything would be excellent. After all, once they see that she is just an ordinary girl like them, then-. 

Wait.

An ordinary girl like them.

An ordinary girl like them.

A girl like them.

Like them.

Ohh.

They weren't afraid of this girl; they feared this devil! 

Maria had said that the underworld was hunting them, meaning they saw Rias, a Devil, as a threat to their safety! 

This meant he couldn't tell Rias the truth about who these girls were. If Rias found out that Mio was the granddaughter of the original Lucifer and told the underworld where she was, then who knows what could happen to them! He needed to find a way to protect their identities from his master and ensure she didn't get suspicious. 

"U-Um, this is...I mean, they are..." He looked back and forth between Rias's stern gaze and Mio and Maria's nervous stares. 

His eyes locked with Mio's; he could see her fear that their secret would be exposed to this devil. 

He shakes his head in defeat, seeing no point in lying to Rias. Sonic steeled himself against Rias's gaze. "This is Mio and Maria Naruse; they're my clients I just rescued from stray devils," Sonic explained, not wanting to rat them out. Mio and Maria breathed a sigh of relief when Sonic didn't rat them out to the devil in front of them. He turned to face them with an arm, gesturing towards Rias. 

"This is Rias Gremory. She's my King, and I'm her Pawn. She's President of the Occult Research Club. She's the Heir of the Gremory Clan. I go to Kuoh Academy with her along with the others. This is Sona Sitri, heir of the Sitri Clan and the President of the Student Council. That's Tsubaki Shinra, Sona's Queen and Vice President of the Student Council." Sonic explained. "All three of them are also friends of mine."

Both Mio and Maria's eyes widened. 

"Yes, my name is Rias Gremory, and I am a devil, and more importantly, I'm this young man's master, meaning he is mine," she stated firmly. 

"Now, if you could both, please tell me the truth about what you are and why you are with my cute little servant," Rias finished with narrowed eyes. 

Mio gulped at Rias's tone. She knew that if she told them who they were, it would end very badly for them. After all, this was Rias Gremory! She knew exactly who this girl was and, more importantly, who she was related to. To find out their savior was a servant to the Gremory family was like a cruel joke. 

"Well?" Rias pressed as her eyes flashed red for a brief moment. 

Mio tried to speak; she did, but the fear of what this girl and her family could do to her was enough to make her feel like she was joking. 

"My apologies, Lady Rias and Lady Sona!" 

Maria suddenly bowed deeply to Rias, much to the shock of Sonic and Mio, while said the girl was surprised at her actions. 

"We meant no disrespect towards you or your family, nor did we intend to have your servant lie to you for us. Indeed, we are not close friends with him, but our home did indeed burn down. However, due to who and what we are, we have been hunted for the past few weeks by all kinds of supernatural creatures. We would've died this morning if not for Nikki saving us and letting us use his home to heal and rest. Please believe that we mean no harm towards you or your family," Maria finished. 

Mio and Sonic stared at Maria slack-jawed while Rias and Sona held an unreadable expression. 

"Rise, Maria," Rias commanded. 

Doing as she was told, Maria stared into pure blood's teal-colored eyes. 

Not breaking her gaze with Maria, Rias continued, "Come here, Mio." 

Gulping, Mio did as she was ordered and stood beside Maria. "Now then…" Rias started. 

"First of all, I wasn't to thank you for telling me the truth, even though I had to force it out of you." Both Maria and Mio looked a little sheepish at her words. 

"While I'm sure you haven't told me the whole truth, I will respect your privacy and not force you to tell me why you are being hunted, though going by your demonic power, I'm going to assume that you're both hybrids?" Rias' guess was confirmed by the girls' shocked and fearful expressions, while Sonic looked bewildered at the revelation. 

"Seems like you didn't sense that, Sonic. Don't worry. You will learn all kinds of powers and skills from your new life as a devil under the Gremory house," she told him with a knowing smile, causing him to look sheepish. 

Rias turned her gaze back. "This can be a little lesson for you then. While it's not forbidden, the conception of a child from two different races isn't exactly. What's the word? Encouraged, due to many purebloods believing that the child is a disgrace to the bloodline, there have been many times where the child's parents have either killed, abandoned, or even abused the child." As Rias spoke, Sonic's eyes widened, and his blood went cold. 

Hearing what these children went through, hybrid or not, filled him with emotions he was very, very familiar with. 

Sadness, anger, disbelief, and loneliness. 

Hatred 

"Of course, not all hybrid children live this way, but most have either lived or are currently living that way," Rias finished. 

"D-did you two live that way?" Sonic interrupted. 

"No, Nikki, until recently, Mio didn't even know she was hybrid and lived peacefully with her family, that is, until her powers started to emerge and stray devils started to sense her. I have known what I am for a while and learned how to handle myself". Maria said while Mio nodded nervously. 

"I get it". Sonic said though he was still concerned for them. 

"I hold no hate for hybrids, nor do I condone their treatment from others, which you will come to see soon enough. But know that you two will receive no prejudice from myself nor my family". Rias said, reassuring them. 

Mio and Maria visibly relaxed at her words. 

"However, with you two not only entering our territory but also living with my servant, the both of you from now on will be under my watch, and that also means my protection as well," Rias said as the girls went from wincing at her tone to smiling at her gratefully at her words, Sonic smiled as well at the show of kindness from the older redhead. 

"Thank you so much, Lady Rias!" They both said as they bowed. 

Rias's lips curved to show a slight smile, "Please call me Rias from now on, but I want to make one thing clear," The heiress started to emit a red and black aura covering her entire being, her eyes changed to a deep crimson glow and her wings unfolded and stretched out. The pressure Rias was releasing was enough to force both of them to their knees while Sonic stood at the raw power of his master. 

"Nikki is mine," Rias stated to the hybrids, "and if you do anything that puts him in danger, If you try to hurt him, mislead him, or even try to steal from him, then you will see exactly what the heiress of the Gremory family is capable of, I assume you both know who my brother is" Both Mio and Maria nodded fearfully. 

"If either of you should take my kindness and mistake it for weakness, it will be the last thing you will ever do." Her words held nothing but power and truth. Mio and Maria shuck, with tears in their eyes at the sight of the powerful devil before them. They knew that if they made a wrong move against Rias, they would pay for it with their lives. 

"W-We understand." Maria managed to grit out while Mio stared at the floor, paralyzed by fear. 

"Good!" And just like that, it was gone. The unbearable pressure had vanished, the demonic glowing and wings were no longer visible, and all that was remaining was Rias, smiling like nothing was wrong. 

Sonic looked at his watch, noticing how late it was. "Alright, I'm going to sleep now...so you guys can just stay here and rest up since neither of you is completely healed yet. I will see you guys tomorrow." 

Sonic was already getting up from his seat to his room. 

Yet, in an interesting twist, he was suddenly stopped by a hand on his shoulder. 

Which just so happened to belong to the still-uncomfortable Mio. 

"Can I... well...um..." Mio stuttered out, her voice faint and low, eyes shifty. 

The redhead was trying to say Something to Sonic, though, for his life, he couldn't quite grasp what. It was all a garbled mess to him. 

Maria, for her part, couldn't help but smile at her friend's shy nature before quickly deciding to stop the painful scene and help her. 

"She wants to come with you to the school to apply there. I apologize for Mio's behavior. She doesn't know how to act before her 'savior' yet, I bet." Maria claimed, shooting a sly glance towards Mio's direction. 

Whether the charge was valid or not, the redhead's face still took on a similar shade to her vibrant red hair. 

"Th-! That's not it!" Mio shouted indignantly to the silverette before clamping her mouth shut and glaring at the ground. 

"...Then what is it?" Sonic questioned with a tilt of his head, more confused than anything else. 

At Sonic's query, Mio managed to stop glaring at the ground and ignore her amused guardian. "I... wanted to go to school too..." 

Sonic's eyes widened slightly, surprised to hear that kind of request, of all things. "...Why?" 

By this point, the redhead was beginning to squirm under his focus but managed to forge ahead. "...Before I knew about my lineage, I lived like a normal human girl. It's what I was, nothing more or less than that. So, I can't help but, well, want that sense of normalcy again, you know?" 

As if a switch had been flipped, she kept going, gaining more steam as she went along. "I just want a chance to feel safe again, with the worst thing that I have to worry about doing is getting good grades. So can I, please, please,   please   come with you to see this school?" 

Mio was practically begging now, so much so that she knew him, hoping beyond hope that he would give her the green light. 

She knew that Sonic had, essentially, become their de facto guardian while they lived in his home, so it was pretty selfish of her to make such a request. 

He probably felt responsible for their well-being at this point, so this appeal to his kindness could be easily seen as an abuse of his inner decency to make herself feel 'normal' again. 

All the while, she was placing herself out in the open again, where she could be attacked again. 

It wasn't fair to either Sonic or Maria. 

But, deep inside, she knew that she desperately needed this. 

She somehow found the willpower to stay alive after her foster parents were killed by devils and demons who hated her birth father, but that was slowly being pushed to the brink with all of the danger that followed afterward. 

For the first time in a long time, she felt safe enough to finally move past what happened. 

Safe enough to go back to what life was like before the people she called 'mom' and 'dad' were murdered right in front of her. 

So, she hoped. 

This was why, when everything went silent, the tension was slowly becoming unbearable. 

For a moment, Mio seriously began to worry that she angered their new protector, so she brought her head up immediately to apologize for such a transgression. 

"Alright." Was her savior's response surprising them? 

"A-Alright?" Mio asked, surprised by his response. 

Sonic nodded at her. He looked to Rias, Sona, and Tsubaki. The three nodded at him, knowing what he would ask them. 

"You live under my roof, so it's fair you go to school too, and it sounds fair. It would help if you had a sense of normalcy in your life, too," Sonic said, understanding what they were going through. 

"We will set up your applications along with Tiamat's for your enrollment in Kuoh Academy," Sona said, smiling a bit. 

"And you have us as well, too," Akeno said, standing beside Sonic. Mio and Maria looked at the rest of Sonic's friends, who nodded at them with smiles. 

Mio had tears in her eyes. "T-Thank you," Mio said, looking at the ground. 

"While you are dealing with this, I'm going to bed," Sonic said as he went to his room with his familiars following him. "Take any room you want, ladies," Sonic said, getting a nod from her in return. 

Sonic's Room   

Sonic removed his clothes and lay on his bed naked, waiting for Akeno, Yumi, and Tsubaki. 

Akeno, Yumi, and Tsubaki walked into the room wearing nothing but their towels around their bodies, showing off their curves, breasts, and asses as they had their change of clothes with them. They undo their towels and crawl into his bed. They wanted to start another process of helping him out by getting his powers back and told him to lose the boxers. 

The girls laid their heads on his bare chest. The girls noticed he wasn't sleeping, and this concerned them. 

"Is something wrong, Sonic?" Tsubaki asked. 

"Nothing, I'm just thinking about what Viser said, how something big is about to happen to the future, first the Viser, the fallen angels, and Mio and Maria." He explained, getting nods from them. 

"Well, as long as we have each other, then we will get through it, right?" Akeno asked cheerfully. 

Sonic smiled at her. "Yeah, maybe I'm just being paranoid," Sonic said as he arched his back a bit. 

"Well, I hope you are ready because tomorrow feels like you will need it," Yumi said. 

All four of them went to sleep. Unknown to them, Heewon, Himari, and Blair went to his room. The door wasn't closed, so they managed to fit in. The three of them nodded, and they exploded with smoke. The three of them changed their appearance to three naked female humans with their bodies displaying their large D-cup breasts. 

The first one was a young woman with large breasts and a fine figure. She had long white hair that extended down to her hips. She sports golden eyes with fluffy fox ears on her head and nine fluffy white fox tails. 

The second one was a young, tall woman with large breasts and an alluring figure. She has short violet hair with long strands on each side of her face that curl up and around to resemble her tail. She has a set of purple cat-like ears with pink tips instead of human ears, initially hidden by her hat. Her black witch's hat coils around at the end and retains her bright yellow cat eyes. She also has a curled-up purple cat tail that resembles her cat form one. She also has two little sharp fangs in her mouth in human form, like a cat's. 

The third one was a young Japanese woman in her adolescent years with a voluptuous figure. She has long black hair with a blue tint that extends down to her hips, with several bangs hanging over her forehead and long side bangs that frame her face. She has her hair in a long ponytail with a pink bow holding it in place. She sports violet eyes and has white cat ears and a tail. 

They wondered how he would react tomorrow. They hoped that he wouldn't react badly. "Do you think he would like us, Blair," asked Himari. "Of course, who wouldn't want us right, Himari," said Blair. "He doesn't seem like a bad person," Heewon said shyly. Himari nodded, and all three of them got under the covers with Sonic and the girls and went to sleep. 

Chapter Text

Daytime  

7:00 A.M.  

As the sun rose, Sonic and the girls finally woke up. He felt more weight on his chest than usual. When he woke up, he was surprised to see three more beautiful girls on his bed. When he moved, the three came up from the covers and stretched slightly. When they did, their breasts bounced a bit. Sonic couldn't help but blush when he saw this. 

"Okay, who are you three?" Sonic asked as he grabbed a pillow to cover his now erect member. 

"We are your familiars, young master." Himari bows to him, surprising Sonic. 

"Seriously?" Sonic asked in disbelief until he faced palmed himself, remembering that Tiamat can shapeshift between her human form like Rias' familiar. 

"So, why did you call me Master Himari," Sonic asked. "It's because it's a tradition in my family to protect our masters from enemies," replied Himari. 

Sonic nodded at this and spoke. "Fine, but don't call me master too often in public. I don't want to give people the wrong message. Just call me Nikki." Sonic turned to Heewon and Blair, "Same goes for you three," he said, getting nods in return. 

Sonic got off his bed and stretched a bit. Sonic then went to his bathroom to take a quick bath. 

Sonic was surprised by him having an onsen in his bathroom. Sonic stepped into the large pool in his bathroom, a sigh of relaxation. Sonic then heard some giggling entering his bathroom. 

Sonic also saw Akeno, Yumi, Tsubaki, Heewon, Himari, and Blair entering the pool. 

"Mind if we join Nikki~," Akeno said seductively. Sonic nodded at them. They all joined him, releasing blissful sighs. 

"So, we must also notify Sona about my familiars?" Sonic asked Tsubaki. Tsubaki nodded at him. "It won't be too much for her to create some IDs for them, considering it didn't take Rias to create an ID for Viser." 

Sonic leaned his head back and closed his eyes. "Let's just hope things won't be too chaotic this time and pray that nothing bad happens," he said. 

Tsubaki then had a naughty idea and grabbed Sonic, placing the back of his skull to her breast, catching him off guard. "W-What are you doing!?" Sonic asked, surprised by Tsubaki's sudden actions. 

"Simple, I'm making you comfortable," Tsubaki said as he rubbed his head soothingly. 

Akeno then hugged Sonic, pressing her breast against his face. 

"Why don't I help you with that as well?" Akeno asked seductively as she bit Sonic's ear, making him yelp. 

"Let me please you as well, master~," Himari said as she came to Sonic's side. 

Yumi, Heewon, and Blair came as well. All six women were surrounding Sonic, making his face heat up. Akeno felt his member was pressing her abdomen. 

"It seems like Nikki isn't the only one excited~" Akeno teased as the girls' eyes widened at how huge he was when his member was fully erected. 

Tsubaki rested her chin on Sonic's shoulder as she grabbed his member and started to jerk it, making him moan. 

"Do you enjoy having us naked around you, Nikki?" Tsubaki teased. "Maybe," Sonic grunted with a blush on his face. 

Sonic then felt a couple of fox and cat tails touching his member, making him groan louder. 

"Allow us to please you, master," Himari said as she nuzzled him. 

"Just relax~," Heewon said as she wrapped her tail around Sonic and the other girls. 

“There is nothing to be afraid of master~” Blair purred as she nuzzled on him.

Sonic then felt his dick twitching from the massage Tsubaki was giving him. 

Sonic laid his head on Tsubaki's breasts, making her giggle as the group massaged parts of Sonic's body for a couple of minutes as he was close to falling asleep. 

"Nikki, it's time to get up now; otherwise, we'll be late~," Akeno said as she booed Sonic with his nose. 

Sonic then woke up as he felt Tsubaki moving his head. 

"Huh? Oh! Sorry, Tsubaki." Sonic said as he got up from the bathtub. 

"No need to apologize, Nikki, since I get to spend more time with you naked~," Tsubaki said as she hugged Sonic from behind her breast, pressing his back. 

Sonic blushed as he used his magic to make all their uniforms around them. Tsubaki pouted at this as he let go of her. 

"Let's go, shall we ladies," Sonic said as he and the girls approached the door. 

Kitchen  

As soon as Sonic reached the kitchen, Sonic was baffled at the sight before him. Raynare, Kalawarner, Mittelt, and Maria were wearing aprons with nothing underneath them, causing him to look away. 

"Why are you naked?!" Sonic shouted, looking away. While Sonic had seen the other girls naked with their permission, he didn't want to look at other girls naked unless they permitted him. He felt his pants tightening around his crotch. 

"Oh, hello, Nikki," Maria chirped as she prepared Sonic and the other lunches. 

"Hello, would you mind answering my question!?" Sonic asked, annoyed and red in the face. 

"Oh, it's simple. I'm a succubus~" Maria said, making Sonic's jaw drop. 

'A succubus!' Sonic shouted mentally. Ddraig was laughing at Sonic. 'Ddraig, did you know about this?!" Sonic shouted mentally. 

'Partner, how she dressed up last night should have been obvious to you,' Ddraig said, snickering at him. 

'Not funny! If she's anything like Akeno or the fallen angels, then who knows what mayhem she'll unleash upon me!' Sonic shouted mentally. 

"As for the three of us, master~ We just wanted to thank you by letting you see our naked bodies," Kalawarner said, putting her arms below her breast, making them look bigger. 

"It's our way of saying thanks~," Raynare said, winking at him as she took her apron off, revealing her breasts and nipples. 

"Don't be shy~?" Mittelt said, smiling at him cutely. 

"Here you go, Nikki~," Maria said, giving Sonic his lunch. Sonic carefully took it slowly. 

"What did you do to it?" Sonic asked cautiously. "Did you put an aphrodisiac in it?" Sonic asked, narrowing his eyes to her. 

"Me?! Why would I want to do this to my savior?! Do you think so lowly of me?" Maria said with an 'innocent' look on her face. 

'She did.' Sonic thought with his right eye twitching. "Thanks," Sonic said dryly before getting some cereal for himself. 

Maria wiggled her rear against his crotch as she leaned over him, "Would you like a massage to ease your stress, Master? I promise to  rub  all the  right  places…" she whispered seductively. 

Sonic's face was burning brighter than the sun at this point. He never expected the petite girl to be so alluring. He couldn't lie. The feeling of her small rear grinding against his lap felt good! He could see her flushed face grinning down at him with her purple eyes narrowed playfully. 

"Of course, I wouldn't object if you wanted to return the favor…" she said as her hands pressed against his chest. She could feel his pounding heartbeat through his slightly toned chest, which made her enjoy this feeling of power over him even more. 

'Just a little more,' Maria thought as she licked her lips in excitement, her hands slowly trailing down his torso towards the hem of his pants. 

She was so focused on her little game that she didn't see Sonic raising his hand above her. 

"NO SIR!" Sonic karate chopped her right in the middle of her head, with enough force to send her to the floor, cradling her head. "That hurt Nikki!" She whined while nursing her injury. 

While rubbing her head, Maria looked up with watery eyes and promptly gulped. Sonic stood over her, his blushing glare directed at her as the vein on his head pulsed angrily. 

"You're pushing your luck, Maria," Sonic growled as he cracked his knuckles with blue electricity sparked around him. Maria began silently praying to whatever demon divinity there was to save her! 

The rest of the girls watched the scene with amused expressions. 

"I didn't know Master was a prude," Himari said innocently.

”Here I thought you would consider yourself to be lucky to be with girls like us,” Blair said amusingly as she leaned back on her chair.

"I'm not. It's just I don't want to look at girls naked unless I have their permission. I don't want to invade their privacy or make them uncomfortable." Sonic said as he ate his cereal. "And mostly because I don't want to get dragged into lewd situations like some  people ," Sonic said, giving Maria a dirty look as she smiled at him innocently. 

"Nikki?" They heard Mio call from the front room, that was all Maria needed to escape from the boy's rath. 

Mio walked in with her Kuoh Academy uniform. 

"What's with the commotion?" Mio asked, getting a plate out. 

"Your succubus charge happened," Sonic said dryly, making Mio's eyebrow twitch. 

"Don't be hard on her, Nikki. Think of the fun you could have with us~" Akeno said, pressing her back against Sonic's. 

"And have people gotten the wrong message and dealt with crazy situations with her? No." Sonic said, making Maria pout at him. 

"Killjoy." Maria huffed. 

"Whatever," Sonic said, rolling his eyes as he finished eating his cereal. 

"Hey, where's Viser?" Sonic asked as he noticed she wasn't there. 

"She said she would speak with Sona about joining her peerage," Kalawarner said, surprising Sonic. 

"Really, what for?" Sonic asked why she wanted to join a peerage, especially after what her old King did to her. 

"She's not sure if other devils or exorcists will try to kill her despite her no longer being a stray devil," Raynare said. 

Sonic frowned at this. He was wondering how many innocent devils were executed due to the actions of their abusive masters. 

Tsubaki and Akeno noticed this. 

"Don't worry about Viser, Nikki. Sona will take care of Viser as long as she stays with her. Tsubaki said to Sonic, smiling at him. 

"I know it's just I don't understand why some devils would abuse their members like that," Sonic said with a dark look on his face. 

"Don't worry about this, Nikki. Many devils like the Gremory Clan and Sitri Clan treat their peers as equals," Akeno said, getting a nod from Sonic. 

"I just hope there are better than bad devils," Sonic said as he got his things ready. 

Kuoh Academy  

Sonic and the others made it to the Academy. Mio looked tense. She looked at the Academy tensely. Sonic noticed this and looked at her in concern. 

"Are you alright, Mio?" Sonic asked, concerned. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm not sure how I'm going to adapt to living the life of a devil-hybrid who happens to be the granddaughter of Lucifer with everything that has happened to me until now," Mio said nervously as she rubbed her arm, trying to make sense of her situation. 

"Relax, the girls and I got you," Sonic said as he gestured to the others, who nodded at Mio, getting a smile from her in return. 

"Thanks, you guys," Mio said with a slight flush. 

"Oh, yeah, here's a piece of advice," Sonic warned Mio, getting her attention. 

"What is it?" Mio asked nervously, seeing the serious looks on their faces. 

A couple of perverted boys took notice of Mio and started drooling at her with perverted smiles on their faces. Only to be knocked to the ground by a couple of rocks. 

The girls looked over to see Sonic and Koneko tossing a rock up and down in their hands. 

"That," Koneko said bluntly as she gave a death glare, making the perverted boys run away in fear. 

Mio's right eye twitched at this as she clenched her fist tightly. 

"This is just the beginning of what those idiots are doing, Mio," Sonic said in annoyance. 

"Is it okay for me to murder them?" Mio asked, growling. 

"Sorry, Mio, as much as I want to let you kill them, I do not want to hold you accountable for murder," Tsubaki said, annoyed as well, as she walked away, much to Mio's dismay. 

Sonic looked at Heewon, Himari, and Blair. "You three must call me by my real name at school or other public areas. And please try to behave. I don't want to deal with more drama." Sonic requested. He got nods from them. 

Sonic sighed as he and the others walked away. Unknown to them, two people were watching them. 

Calculus  

Sonic leaned his head against his hand, looking out the window annoyedly, barely paying attention to class. 

"Mr.Kaosu!" Sonic's teacher called out to him. 

"Yeah?" Sonic asked, bored.

"Would you mind answering the question to the class, considering you seem to know the answer?" The teacher asked  

Sonic looked at the board and said, "Six." 

"Wrong! Don't you-" The teacher stopped momentarily as he looked at the board. 

"Oh, sorry," the teacher chuckled, "I thought you weren't paying attention." 

The teacher resumed back to his teaching. Sitting next to him, Mio looked at him in concern as he looked out the window. 

The bell rang as the first period was over. The students got up, leaving for their next class. Mio ran up to Sonic. 

"Nikki, is there something wrong?" Mio asked, concerned for him. 

Sonic stopped for a moment and looked at their surroundings in the hallway. 

"Yeah. Do you get the feeling someone is watching us?" Sonic said as he looked around, making Mio tense up. 

Mio looked around, panicking. "I didn't up until now!" Mio said anxiously. 

"Relax, as long as we're in devil territory, we are safe," Sonic said, touching her shoulder and relaxing Mio for a bit. 

"Maybe it's just my imagination, or I'm just being paranoid," Sonic said, "Just don't let your guard down." 

Sonic left for his second-period class. 

Mio stood there momentarily before she felt someone looking at her from behind. 

She looked behind her and saw no one was there. Mio immediately went to her second-period class. 

Unknown to her, two young girls hid by the lockers' side. 

The first was a beautiful young woman with a slim yet endowed build with a far more notable big butt. She has light blue, shoulder-length hair with a more extended portion of her hair put into a braid on the left side of her face tied into a single braid, and a single long strand of hair and yellow eyes.  

The second was a petite young girl who was surprisingly developed for her age with blue-violet hair tied up in a ponytail most of the time using white scrunchy and yellow eyes just like her older sister. 

"Is that her, Yuki?" The girl with blue-violet hair asked. "Yes. This is Mio Naruse." Yuki said. 

"And the other was Nikki Kaosu?" The younger girl asked. "Yes, Kurumi, and he is powerful for a low-class devil," Yuki said, thinking of the blue-haired boy. 

"Should we confront them?" Kurumi asked, as she wanted to get this mission over with. 

"No, it's best to do this at nighttime," Yuki said as she and Kurumi walked away. 

Time Skip (Lunchtime)  

Sonic was walking outside the Academy near the fields. Sonic had a mischievous smile as he pulled out a bag of roasted salami. He saw the Perverted Duo peeking at the Kendo Club, much to his annoyance. Sonic had asked Koneko for her help, which, much to his surprise, was okay with helping him set up a prank for the perverts; then again, he couldn't blame her. 

"Heheheheh, those idiots won't know what hit them," Sonic said to himself as he rubbed his hands like a maniac. 

Sonic heard some dogs barking as a couple chased Koneko as she held a large steak. 

Sonic immediately ran to her and picked her up bridal style. Sonic then ran to where the Perverted Duo was. 

Sonic counted his fingers by three, signaling Koneko when to throw the meat. 

"Hey, idiots!" Sonic shouted as he gained Matsuda and Motohama's attention. 

"Huh, who was that?" Matsuda asked, annoyed that his peeping was interrupted. 

"Yeah, it better be good!" Motohama said as he fixed his glasses. 

Sonic and Koneko then threw the salami and steak at them, much to their confusion.  

BARK! BARK! BARK! 

Both boys paled as they saw the dogs. 

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" 

Both boys shouted as they were in a fighting cloud with the dogs biting them. 

The students went to see the commotion. Some took out their phones and photographed the boys being bitten by the dogs. 

Sonic was laughing his ass off at the sight before him. Koneko smiled a bit, satisfied at the perverts receiving their punishment. 

Sonic then grabbed two buckets out of nowhere and filled them with honey and rice. 

As soon as the dogs were done biting the Perverted Duo, Matsuda and Motohama were twitching on the ground with their uniforms in tatters. 

"Who would do this to us?" Matsuda asked. 

"I don't know! We're just innocent kids!" Motohama said, whimpering as he tried to fix his ruined glasses. 

Sonic and Koneko gave each other deadpanned expressions at what Motohama said. 'Yeah, Right,' both sweatdrops. 

Sonic then used his super speed and splashed them with honey and rice. 

"Hey! Who threw that?!" Matsuda shouted, trying to get the honey off him. 

"ARGH! It's all over my glasses!" Motohama shouted. 

A white liquid fell on their heads. They looked up and saw a bunch of birds flying towards them. 

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!' Both boys shouted as Sonic ran behind them and shoved their heads inside the buckets. He then slammed the buckets against each other, making their heads ring. 

The crows then attacked them and started running after them. 

"RUN AWAY!" The Perverted Duo ran away as some of the birds started biting them with their beaks, making them yelp in pain. 

"HAHAHAHAHA! That's what you get!" Sonic laughed as he slapped his leg. 

Koneko giggled a bit as she saw the pain and agony the Perverted Duo were dealing with. 

"I take it you both had a hand in this?" Mio asked as she was glad that the Perverted Duo was dealing with the pain. 

"Can you blame me? They had it coming to them." Sonic said as he wiped a tear. Mio couldn't fault him for that. 

"Nikki Kaosu?" A voice asked from behind him. Sonic turned around and saw Yuki and Kurumi right in front of him. 

"Uh yeah? Can I help you?" Sonic asked the two girls. 

"Sorry to waste a moment of your time. My name is Yuki Nonaka. This is my little sister, Kurumi Nonaka." Yuki introduced herself. "We were wondering if we could discuss something with you, Rias Gremory, and Sona Sitri." 

"Really, what for?" Sonic asked cautiously. 

"It's about the devil you have living with you in your house," Yuki said calmly. 

This made the devils tense. "What devil?" Sonic asked, trying to play dumb. 

"Don't play dumb. We know that you have Mio Naruse, a devil who happens to descend from the original Lucifer. She is living with you, isn't she?" Kurumi said harshly. 

Sonic narrowed his eyes to her. "Alright, what do you want from her?" Sonic demanded, not liking their attitude, as he stood before Mio, who feared what the two students wanted from him. 

"Simple, we are here for Mio Naruse," Yuki said, narrowing her eyes at them, leaving no room for argument. 

"What for?' Sonic asked as he and Koneko got into battle stances. 

Yuki and Kurumi looked at each other and nodded. 

"Have you fought many Stray Devils recently?" Yuki asked calmly, getting a confused look from Sonic as he lowered his guard. 

"Yeah, I fought more than a dozen stray devils after Mio yesterday," Sonic answered. I know they're after her power." He added, 

"Then you know the danger and threat she poses if she continues to be around you and your friends, even if you have the help of the Gremory and Sitri Clans helping you," Kurumi said thoughtfully as she crossed her arms. 

Sonic looked at them in annoyance, "If you are going to convince me to abandon her and leave her to die at the hands of heartless monsters. Then you're wrong," Sonic said, glaring at them as his eyes sparked electric blue, startling the two females before him. 

The two blue-haired women could tell he was not going to back down. They both stopped themselves from attacking him as they didn't want to destroy the school and the students in it. 

"That is up to debate when we speak to your superiors," Yuki said as she and Kurumi walked away. Kurumi turned around and gave them a raspberry. 

Sonic, Koneko, and Mio looked at the blue-haired women's backs. 

"Here, I thought this would be a normal school day for once," Sonic said, sighing slightly. 

"Sorry," Mio said apologetically as she looked down with shame in her eyes. 

"It's fine. I knew looking after you wasn't going to be easy, Mio," Sonic said, waving his hand at her, "But still, we should at least keep our guards up and notify Rias of this." 

Koneko nodded, "Hopefully, it does not become ugly." 

"Don't jinx it," Sonic deadpanned. 

"C'mon, Mio," Sonic said as he walked away. Mio immediately followed him alongside Koneko. 

Gym  

Sonic, Rias, Akeno, Maria, Mio, Yumi, Asia, Koneko, and the rest of his classmates were dressed in their uniforms for the gym. Most girls were ogling Sonic while the boys were glaring at Sonic, who was chatting with Akeno and Rias. 

"These girls are only here for Mio?" Rias asked seriously. 

"Yeah," Sonic said with his arms crossed with a frown. 

"Could they be part of the Hero Faction?" Akeno asked worriedly. 

Sonic raised his brow at this. 

Rias, noticing his confusion, quickly explained it to him. "They're a faction that consists of Humans. All members of the Hero Faction are Sacred Gear, Holy Sword, Demon Sword, and Longinus Wielders. Their motto is to fight and defeat "evil beings" such as Devils, Fallen Angels, and Dragons that bring harm to Humans," Rias explained, getting a nod from Sonic. 

"Seriously? What if said "evil beings" want peace?" Sonic asked skeptically, not liking how Rias explained it to him, meaning that the Hero Faction differed from what they claimed to be. 

"They either get threatened or killed," Rias answered grimly. 

Sonic looked peeved at this. Sonic looked back and saw Mio with Maria, who was trying to relax her. 

"Please tell me you don't agree with this?" Sonic asked, not wanting to abandon Mio for something she had little control over. 

"No," Rias answered, much to Sonic's relief. 

"But still, you will have to fight them," Rias warned Sonic, much to his annoyance. 

The coach blew her whistle. 

"All right, maggots, grab a partner!" The coach shouted. 

All the females except Sonic's friends immediately perked up and looked at Sonic with hearts in their eyes. To their dismay, Akeno hugged Sonic's left arm with her arms with her breast wrapped around his arm, making him chuckle a bit. 

Most of the girls started to puff their cheeks in annoyance while the boys grumbled about getting Sonic a body bag or him being a lucky bastard. 

Soon, they all started exercising. Sonic grabbed Akeno by her ankles as she did curl-ups. Akeno's breast kept on jiggling each time she rose. Akeno gave Sonic a teasing smile, as she was sure she saw a bulge forming in Sonic's shorts. 

Sonic looked at Akeno in amusement at the way she was teasing him. Unknown to him, Yuki and Kurumi were spying on him. They would use this opportunity to see his skillset to determine if he was a threat. 

Sonic then noticed their stares and looked at them momentarily, making them look away. 

The coach blew her whistle again, making everyone look at her as they got into position. 

"Alright, you all are assigned to run through the obstacle course in less than three minutes. The people who reach it in less than three minutes will have a free period for the rest of the week!" The coach announced, getting every student excited. 

30 Minutes Later  

Most male students failed severely, with most of them getting injured. Most of the females ended up finishing the obstacle course over three minutes. Sonic, Katase, Murayama, Mio, Maria, Koneko, Yumi, Rias, Asia, Akeno, Yuki, and Kurumi won the reward, much to the other student's dismay. 

"Alright! Since you 12 passed, you are in good shape, and you have a free class period for the rest of this week." The coach said to them as she looked at her students proudly, getting a nod from them in return. 

The coach then turned to the rest of her students with a scowl, much to their fear. "As for all of you maggots, you will be pushing yourselves harder since you all have been slacking! I expected more from you, weaklings!" the coach shouted. 

"What about us?!" A male student asked. The coach looked at her student in disgust, "You boys, I shouldn't be surprised, considering you all are weak and cannot keep it in your pants," the coach answered bluntly, making all the males cry with anime tears. 

"Why can't you all be like Nikki?! He's a male and not a slacker like you weaklings?!" The coach demanded, making the males glare at Sonic, who just shrugged cockily. It wasn't his fault that they decided to waste their time peeking at girls and not doing some training or exercise. 

The school bell rang, meaning that school was over. 

"Class dismissed!' The coach said as she left. 

Sonic then left for the boys' changing room. 

Boys Changing Room  

Sonic entered the boys' changing room, dressed and ready to head to the ORC Building. She was stopped by his male classmates, who had glares plastered on their faces. 

"Can I help you?" Sonic asked, bored.

"Yeah! We want you to step away from the girls! They're ours!" A male student said, getting nods from them. 

Sonic looked at them in annoyance with a tick mark on his head. 'Seriously?' Sonic groaned mentally. 'How about you roughen things up a bit?' Ddraig suggested mischievously. 

Sonic smirked a bit at Ddraig's idea. Sonic looked at all the males, "No," Sonic said. 

The males were irked at this. "Why not?!" The male student asked rudely. 

Sonic glared at them, making them all flinch back, "Because they're people and deserve to choose who they want to be with; they're not toys or objects for you to play with." Sonic answered harshly. 

The males growled at this. "Get him!" they shouted. All the males lunged at him. 

Sonic immediately entered Stop Time. The males were frozen, while Sonic was not. 

Sonic looked at the readers with a look of annoyance. 

Sonic got a marker out of his bookbag and drew penises on their faces. He later took their clothes off, leaving them naked. Sonic snickered at this. 

"This will teach them a lesson." Sonic laughed as he turned on the showers to the hottest temperature. He pulled out a massive box of powdered soap and dumped all the contents out of the box. Sonic then locked out of the doors and phased through the exit, locking the males inside the changing room. 

Sonic then exits out of Stop Time, making time move forward normally. 

"Hey, where did he go?!" 

"Where are my clothes?!" 

"Why is the door locked?!" 

"Don't look at me!"  

"There's too many soap bubbles!" 

Sonic then collapsed onto the floor, dying of laughter. 

"Oh boy, this has got to be one the greatest moments of my life!" Sonic laughed as he picked himself up, seeing that the bubbles were starting to leak through the door. 

Sonic then heard multiple banging on the door. 

"Let us out, you blue rat!"  

Sonic then thought for a moment, "Nope," Sonic said, popping the 'P' as he walked away while whistling a tune. 

Sonic heard their shouts as he walked away. 

ORC Building  

3:00 P.M.

Sonic then arrived at the ORC Building. He saw his teammates, Sona and her peerage, waiting for him. Yuki and Kurumi were also there. 

"Sorry that I'm late. I was busy dealing with a couple of idiots," Sonic said, snickering. 

Sona raised a brow at this, knowing fully that Sonic was responsible for the prank on the Boy's Changing Room, but said nothing of it, considering they started the fight first. 

"Glad you can make it, Nikki," Rias said, giggling as she knew Sonic was responsible for the prank. 

Sonic raised his brow at the sight of Yuki and Kurumi wearing navy blue leotards with black collars, white skirts, and navy blue capes. Their spirit armor covered all four of their limbs. Yuki seemed to have a katana on the left side of her hip, while Kurumi had a silver gauntlet on her left arm. 

'For a couple of heroes, they don't seem to be ashamed of wearing tight outfits,' Sonic mentally said, making Ddraig snort. 'You should see the exorcist,' Ddraig said. 

"So, might you explain to me what this is about?" Sonic asked, standing by Mio in case they tried to do something. 

"As we said to you earlier this morning, we came here to deal with the problem,' Yuki said. 

Sonic narrowed his eyes at them. Mio tensed up when she was the problem. 

"Look, I'm not going to allow you to kill Mio for a problem she had no control over," Sonic said as he summoned his Boosted Gear and Ring Blades. 

The rest of Rias' peerage tensed up, preparing to defend Mio. 

"Nikki-," Mio said, but Sonic interrupted her. 

"Zip it, Mio. I promised that I would defend you no matter what," Sonic said, smiling at her, getting a blush from her. 

Sonic's expression then turned serious as he faced Yuki and Kurumi. 

"You have no idea what you are doing, are you?" Kurumi asked, angry that the Devils would not allow them to finish their job. 

Sona and Rias both stood up as they glared at their guests. 

"That is enough. May I remind you that you are in our territory?" Sona asked as she adjusted her glasses. 

"Not to mention, even if we do not allow you to do your jobs, who's to say you won't kill Mio when our backs are turned? Do you want to risk starting a war with us Devils?" Rias asked as she, Sona, and their peers ' wings unfolded behind her. 

Both Yuki and Kurumi tensed up as they weren't expecting this. They wanted to finish their mission without having to cause problems on both sides. 

Yuki immediately stepped, "Rias, you must understand that if you allow Mio to roam free, then she will end up destroying innocent lives in the process," Yuki explained. 

"Not to mention stray devils and other demons alike will continue to pursue her until they finally capture her and strip her of her power," Kurumi added. 

"Well, guess what, how about a wager?" Sona asked, getting everyone's attention. 

"A wager?" Yuki questioned cautiously. 

"A deal," Sonic responded. 

Yuki and Kurumi looked at the Devils carefully. 

"It's simple. Koneko and I fight you both to decide Mio's fate. We win, and Mio stays alive. You win. You get to kill Mio," Sonic said seriously as Mio looked at him in alarm. 

Yuki and Kurumi looked at Sonic with skeptical looks on their faces. 

"How do we know you will keep your end of the deal?" Yuki asked, not wanting to risk falling for a trap. 

"If we wanted you dead, we would have struck you the moment you entered this building," Rias responded calmly while crossing her arms. 

Yuki and Kurumi had to admit she had a point, as they were in the presence of two powerful devils who happened to be clan heiress of the Houses of Gremory and Sitri.

"You have our word; we won't go back on our deal," Sonic said honestly.

Both Yuki and Kurumi looked at his eyes as they displayed honesty from them.

"All right," Yuki said, agreeing to their terms. 

Sonic then used his speed to take them all outside the ORC Building. 

The two heroes were baffled at their surroundings as they were sure they were inside the ORC Building seconds ago. 

The two heroes looked at Sonic, who had a smug look on his face as he rubbed his nose. 

Sonic then got into a fighting position as he got his Boosted Gear and Ring Blades ready, with Koneko also getting into a stance. 

Yuki and Kurumi got into fighting positions as well. 

Insert Music: Sonic & The Black Knight "Shrouded Forest - Sir Lancelot's Route"

All four of them charged at each other. Kurumi summoned water dragons and had them attack Koneko. She immediately dodged them. Sonic slashed his Ring Blades against Yuki's sword. 

"Don't think we can be defeated so easily!" Yuki shouted as she released a small burst of magic from her sword, pushing Sonic back.

"Whoa!" Sonic shouted as he was sent into the air.

Sona studied Yuki's sword momentarily as she realized what it was.

"Nikki, watch out! That is the Sakuya. It has metal and wood elements. Sakuya is a spirit sword with the same name as the goddess of Mount Fuji and all volcanoes, Konohanasakuya-hime, from Shintoism!" Sona shouted.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Sonic shouted as he dodged Yuki's sword waves.

Koneko dodged a blast of water spears from Kurumi. Kurumi then sent a blast of air towards Koneko. Koneko raised her arms, protecting herself from the attack. She was sent towards a tree. "AGH!" Koneko groaned a bit.

"You alright, Neko!?" Sonic asked as he sent a sonic boom from his blades.

"I'm fine!" Koneko shouted as she clapped her hands together, emitting a powerful shockwave and sending Kurumi away.

"Don't think that those pieces of yours will be powerful enough to save you!" Yuki shouted as she used Sakuya to make the area around them shake.

"What in the?!" Sonic said as he saw a small volcano form before them. 

Yuki used Sakuya to force the volcano to shoot out flaming rocks as Kurumi sent out water dragons, blasts of air, and lightning balls used at Sonic and Koneko.

"Take cover!" Sonic shouted as he zipped past the magical attacks as Koneko punched the rocks into fragments.

Mio looked at the fight in concern. She knew Sonic and Koneko were strong, but the Nonaka sisters fought coordinatedly.

"Rias, Sona, please tell me that Nikki and Koneko will get through this," Mio asked, concerned for her savior and friend.

Rias smiled at her, much to Mio's confusion, "Don't worry, I have faith in them," Rias reassured Mio.

Sonic and Koneko then got together and formulated a plan. "I say we do a team attack, ready neko?" Sonic asked Koneko, who cringed a bit at the nickname, much to his confusion, but nodded.

Koneo pulled her arm out, and Sonic grabbed it as his spin dashed in place. ( AN:  In Sonic Heroes, when you are playing as a Power Type Character, you can use other characters while they're spin-dashing to strengthen your physical attacks.) Koneko then used her strength to spin fast like a top, and Sonic dashed around her arm while still spinning.

The Nonaka sisters were confused about what they were doing. When Koneko stopped, she threw Sonic hard toward them. Before they could react, Sonic ricocheted at the blue-haired girls, knocking them down. 

"Hah, that's what you girls get!" Sonic shouted as he sent a chaos spear at them.

"Don't even think that you will win easily!" Yuki shouted as she blocked the chaos spear with Sakuya.

"Why the hell are the two of you so hellbent on killing Mio?! Aren't you supposed to be heroes?" Sonic demanded as he slammed one of his ring blades at Sakuya.

"We are heroes! We aim to ensure threats like Mio Naruse are taken care of!" Yuki said, narrowing her eyes at Sonic.

"The more she lives, the more danger she will continue to attract to you and everyone else in Kuoh, too!" Kurumi shouted as she attacked Koneko, who countered her attack.

"You don't know that for sure! You guys are technically trying to kill an innocent person!" Sonic retorted as he formed a tornado to send lava rocks back at Yuki, who slashed them with Sakuya.

"She is innocent for now, but in the future, she will-" Sonic interrupted Yuki.

"Mio will what? How do you know what kind of person she would be? She never asked for this burden. She didn't ask for her parents to be killed by stray devils. She never killed anyone. What right do you have to kill her? Did she do anything to you?" Sonic asked, making the Nonaka sisters hesitate momentarily.

Koneko immediately sent a sidekick to Kurumi's waist, knocking her to the ground.

Kurumi then uses wind magic to form multiple tornadoes, sending them toward Sonic and Koneko.

Sonic was busy dealing with Yuki as she struggled a bit to land an attack on him.

'If this keeps up, we'll lose!' Yuki thought as she gritted her teeth tightly and traded clashes with Sonic.

"Out of every opponent I fought, you seem to be the most difficult," Yuki said before releasing another blast of magic. "May I know the name of my opponent?" she asks.

"You may call me Nikki Kaosu, Knight of the Wind!" Sonic said, flashing a grin as he sent a chaos beam from his hands at Yuki.

Sonic saw the tornadoes heading toward Koneko and ran inside them in the opposite direction, making them disappear.

"Thanks," Koneko said as she got into a stance.

"No problem, I'll form a tornado around Kurumi, so can you finish it," Sonic said, getting a nod from Koneko.

"Grrr! Why are you trying to defend someone who you hardly know?!" Kurumi growled as she started to charge her lightning magic into a vast sphere.

"I'm willing to defend Mio because she never asked to be a devil in the first place; she's a girl who's scared of something she never asked for; you can't kill or blame someone for something they have no control over. You can't choose where a flower blooms," Sonic said as he sent a small smile toward Mio, who had tears in her eyes. Maria grasped Mio's hand, comforting her.

The Nonaka, seeing this, felt a pang of guilt in their hearts that they were trying to ignore.

"No matter. It's our duty as heroes to protect humanity from the supernatural at any cost!" Kurumi shouted as she attacked Sonic.

"Ddraig!" Sonic shouted. "Got it! Boost!" Ddraig cried as Sonic's red aura surrounded him.

Sonic then charged at Kurumi's attack head-on as he tried to absorb it. Sonic struggled for a bit. Sonic then used his chaos powers to absorb the attack, empowering himself even further as Ddraig repeatedly multiplied his power.

"Here we go!" Sonic shouted as he succeeded in absorbing Kurumi's attack. "I hope you are ready for this, Neko!" Sonic said as he ran in a complete circle around Kurumi, making her float in the air.

"What are you doing?!" Kurumi shouted as she struggled to use her gauntlet.

"Neko now!" Sonic shouted as he kept running around Kurumi.

Koneko then charged at Kurumi with her fist pulled forward.

"No!" Kurumi shouted as she formed a wind barrier around herself.

BAM!

Koneko's attack managed to break through Kurumi's barrier.

"AH!" Kurumi shouted as Koneko knocked her out.

"Kurum!" Yuki shouted as she caught her little sister.

Sonic then stopped running as he looked at Yuki smugly.

"It's two against one, give up?" Sonic asked smugly.

"No, as long as I continue fighting, I won't give up!" Yuki declared as she prepared for her final attack. Green flames surrounded Sakuya and Yuki.

Sonic nodded at Koneko, getting a nod from her in return as he was ready to finish the attack.

"Boost! Boost!" Ddraig shouted repeatedly as he knew Sonic was going to finish this.

Sonic and Yuki glared at each other as they were ready to strike each other.

"READY, GO!" Sonic shouted as he and Yuki charged at each other.

As soon as they reached each other, the blades clashed.

CHING!

Both Sonic and Yuki were at opposite ends.

Both looked unfazed by their attacks until.

"Ugh," Yuki moaned as she collapsed onto her back.

"Hehe," Sonic chuckled before groaning a bit.

Theme Ends

Rias, Sona, their friends, and their peerages came to Sonic and Koneko.

"Both you and your sister have lost this match, Yuki; the deal has been sealed," Rias said as Asia healed Sonic and Koneko's injuries.

"I see," Yuki said in a defeated tone, "Kill me if you wish," she said, resigned to her fate as she closed her eyes.

Sonic looked at her in annoyance, reminded of Sir Gawain trying to kill himself with his blade.

"Oh, for the love of god, we don't have to be enemies," Sonic asked, annoyed, though he flinched a bit after saying God.

Yuki looked at Sonic with an incredulous look. "It's impossible. I am a hero, and you are Rias Gremory's Pawn. There is no middle ground."

Sonic shook his head and leaned down towards her, unable to agree with that line of thinking.

"Isn't it a hero's duty to do the impossible for the betterment of those they protect?" Sonic asked with a frown. He didn't know much about the history of this world, but he was sure that the word 'hero' wasn't different from his world's version.

"No, a hero must protect humans from the supernatural..." Yuki replied quietly, having no idea where he was going with this.

Sonic regarded her momentarily before turning away to look at the stars.

"If that's what it means to be a hero in this world, then I pity it," Sonic said as he got up and marched at her.

"A hero is a person who protects people who aren't able to defend themselves, someone who stands for justice, someone who stands for peace," Sonic said, getting heated and passionate. "Heroes are supposed to be symbols, things to inspire those meanings in others so they can follow, and a beacon when others fall into despair and give up and when all seems lost!"

Yuki's eyes flared at his own words. "You think that's different from what we do? We protect humans from the abuses of the powerful supernatural factions, standing as defenders and champions of the group that can't defend themselves from humanity! We  are  heroes!" Yuki ground out, her voice tightly wound up due to the high emotional tension.

Sonic looked at her with hard blue eyes before shooting her down, refusing to let the matter go so quickly.

"Then why are you hunting down Naruse Mio like a criminal? What has she done to you? To anyone? What gives you the right to dictate whether she lives or dies because of something she can't control!" Sonic shouted, knowing that feeling all too well.

"She may not have done anything now, but in the future..." Yuki tried to say, shaking her head warily before being cut off.

"How the hell do you know that? Did you not hear what I said in our fight? Mio was just a normal teenage girl just a year ago! What kind of heroes kill people because of what they 'might become'!?" Sonic growled, baring his teeth as his temper grew more fiery.

Sonic quickly turned around for a precious moment after his tirade, taking a deep breath to calm himself before turning back around to the tired hero.

"What do you want from me, Nikki?" Yuki sighed, emotionally and physically tired from the day's events.

"I want you to act like a  true hero  should," Sonic said.

Unknowingly to the young man, he struck a chord with the girl, making her tense faintly as the words were bandied in her head.

A true hero...

Nonaka Yuki closed her eyes, trying to forget the words. She stayed quiet to gather her thoughts again and center herself.

"In your opinion..." Yuki spoke softly, her yellow gaze opening to see the night sky again. "What would a  true hero  do in this situation?"

Sonic smiled and gave her his hand before replying, "In my opinion, a  true hero  would wait and see if the bad guy was bad."

Placing his right hand on his chest, Sonic flashed his teeth in a cocky grin, emerald eyes bright in the dim light that the moon provided. "I never lied when I told you that I never go back on my word, and I'm not lying now when I say that I would never harm an innocent human as long as I live. You can bet on that."

Yuki looked   at the Sonic before tilting her head enough to focus on the extended hand like a bomb about to go off.

Of all the things that the hero thought could happen today when she woke up, she didn't expect this.

Looking at her former enemy's inviting gesture, she could readily admit that she was tempted.

Everything about him seemed genuine; his words were earnest and spontaneous, a far cry from the pre-planned speeches made to evoke something out of a person.

This was just spoken from the heart.

She could see that from his eyes, which seemed  blindingly  vivid.

Without thinking about it, she stretched her hand to meet his own, drawn to him.

'Now, now, Yuki, did you think that I stood for stupid shit like 'peace and justice'? It would help if you didn't trust so easily next time, Yuki. It'll do you well to remember this feeling the next time that you feel like being soft; as a matter of fact, use it to propel yourself forward and become a wonderful human, a real   hero.'

As if she had just touched something foul, she immediately retracted her hand after dark memories resurfaced.

Memories of broken promises.

"How..." she rasped, clutching her retracting hand tightly, shielding it. "How do I know that you won't betray my trust...?"

Sonic's features pinched up, opening his mouth to reassure her that she had both worry about.

He didn't get the chance.

"Your words... feel  genuine, but I've been fooled by the charismatic words of bad men before," she claimed solemnly, on guard. "So...how do I know that your words mean anything...?"

Even as she spoke, Yuki's features became warier and cautious.

"How do I know that you won't betray my trust?"

Sonic was speechless, completely thrown off by the hero's complete shift in behavior, not sure what to make of it.

That being said, Sonic recovered admirably.

"Wait, just wait a minute...where did this come from? You were ready to give me a chance here; what changed?" Sonic asked in confusion, seeking understanding.

Unable to bear looking at his eyes, the human teen turned her head away from Sonic's gaze and looked at the sky instead.

"You wouldn't understand."

Sonic frowned at this. "Hey, for all you know, I may understand more than you think. I had a pretty rough life in the beginning, too."

Parting with this tidbit was meant to help the young woman relate to him; at least, that was the idea.

Instead of reassuring her, however, this only worsened her already darkening mood.

"What do you know? How can someone with such a bright smile ever understand how painful it is? How painful to know that someone you trusted with your life could throw it away. You don't understand a  thing. " Yuki hissed with venom, her pent-up frustration and anger leaking through as she glared at Sonic for reawakening old memories.

She then turned her head to focus on anything else except her enemy's eyes, not willing to let him see the tears that were building up around her eyes, born out of impotent frustration.

She felt spent.

Tired.

Numb.

She wasn't expecting this to happen today.

The downed hero stayed like that for numerous beats, feeling tense when she didn't get any response from the young man that hung over her.

Did she, perhaps, push him far enough to convince him to end this...permanently?

She had no idea, so she had to turn back to look him in the eye and see what fate awaited her.

So she took his features, preparing for the worst.

However, yet again, she could not predict this boy's actions, which explained why her eyes widened at what she saw.

He was standing before her, contemplating the ground as if it were the most exciting thing in the world.

But that wasn't what shocked Nonaka Yuki.

The mournful look that overtook his usually cheerful disposition stopped her short, as well as the glassy eyes that accompanied them.

The far-off look in his eye also helped the hero recognize that Sonic was remembering something that brought pain to the young man.

She didn't know that he was remembering his friends who died in his life.

The friends that he had gained through friendship and lost to wars.

Those glassy eyes finally regarded her with a quiet, almost wistful smile.

"I  do  know."

That was all that needed to be said.

She took the hand.

ORC Building

"Well, now that it's over, will there be more fights for you to cause on school grounds?" Sona asked, recalling the damage Sonic, Koneko, Yuki, and Kurumi had done next to the ORC Building.

'Sorry," Sonic said sheepishly, rubbing his head.

"So, will we meet again tomorrow?" Rias asked, hoping their problem had been settled.

"Yes, I will have to notify my leader about this; not sure how he'll feel, though," Yuki said as she carried Kurumi by her arm over her neck.

"Hopefully, he'll understand," Sonic said optimistically, hoping he didn't spark a war between the Hero Faction and Devil Faction.

"Maybe he hardly gets angry," Yuki said as she prepared to walk away.

"Will she be alright?" Asia asked concerned. 

"She'll be fine; she's fought worse," Yuki replied.

"If you want, I can heal you both." Asia offered, surprising Yuki.

"Really? Even after what we have done?" Yuki asked, surprised by their offer.

"Don't be surprised. We've made the same mistake as you," Raynare said, surprising Yuki.

Raynare, Kalawarner, and Mittelt made their wings appear behind them, surprising Yuki.

"We've made the same mistake as you, Yuki; maybe if you question your master's orders on what he wanted you to do, then maybe it will clear up the misunderstanding for you and Kurumi," Kalawarner said.

Yuki thought about this for a moment before nodding.

Asia then healed Kurumi and Yuki for a moment as soon as possible. As Kurumi and Yuki's injuries were healed, Kurumi started to wake up.

"Ugh, what happened?" Kurumi asked, groaning.

"You had your ass handed to you," Mittelt said bluntly.

"What she said," Koneko agreed, much to everyone's surprise.

Kurumi groaned a bit, knowing that their mission had been a complete failure.

"Well, a deal is a deal," Kurumi said, hanging her head in defeat.

Yuki looked at her sister momentarily before giving her a small smile. Kurumi looked at her in confusion.

"Why are you smiling, sis? We lost." Kurumi said, confused as to why Yuki was smiling from their loss.

"No, I'm just thinking about how we can learn from this experience," Yuki said.

"The only thing we can learn from this is that we lost," Kurumi retorted begrudgingly with a cute pout as she crossed her arms.

"Our leader and our parents will be disappointed by this, you know," Kurumi said, not wanting to disappoint their parents. 

"When have they ever been disappointed with us before?" Yuki asked.

Kurumi had no response to that but was pretty hesitant.

"You girls have orders from your bosses, but you must know when to question your superiors. Otherwise, you will end up living with the mistakes you have made for the rest of your life," Sonic said seriously, as he didn't want the girls to make the same mistakes he made with Shahra, Merlina, and THE END in the past. Shahra and Merlina redeemed themselves, but he should have questioned them first; otherwise, he could have gotten himself killed; he was lucky that Amy, Knuckles, and Tails sacrificed themselves to cure him of his cyber corruption to help deal with THE END.

Yuki and Kurumi looked thoughtfully at Sonic briefly before nodding at him.

"I see; we'll keep that in mind," Yuki said before she and Kurumi started to leave the occult research club.

"Will we see you both tomorrow with no ill between us?" Sona asked, hoping there wouldn't be any trouble from the Hero Faction this time. 

"Perhaps, if our leader won't be too disappointed," Yuki answered.

"And we might not have to dispose of you guys the next time we meet," Kurumi said, smirking at them.

"Hah! I'm ready for you guys any time!" Sonic said confidently as he rubbed his nose with his eyes closed.

"Maybe we can have an orgy with us~" Maria purred lewdly, making everyone except Akeno and the fallen angels blush.

"Maria!" Mio shouted out, blushing furiously with steam coming out of her ears.

"You just had to ruin the moment," Sonic said dryly.

"You should know that I have nothing to be ashamed of!" Maria said proudly as she sprouted her wings out.

Yuki and Kurumi looked surprised that Maria was a succubus; it made sense why she behaved more lewdly than the others.

"*Coughs* Alright, we will see you all tomorrow then," Yuki said, blushing as she and Kurumi left the building.

Rias and Sona looked at each other and nodded as they turned to their peerages and allies.

"Alright, now that it's over, we can finally begin training to help Rias and her peerage defeat Riser Phenex. We can also help Mio control her powers, so stray devils won't capture her. And we can help Sonic get his body back to 100%," Sona said, blushing hard at the last part along with her peerage.

"What do you mean about the last part?" Mio asked, confused as to why Sona was blushing.

"Well, you see, Nikki's soul merged with Issei, meaning Sonic is physically weak right now. In terms of power, he's strong, but his body isn't strong enough to handle that power, meaning he has to limit himself on how much power he uses," Rias explained; then she blushed about the next part.

"We have to be naked so we can make skin-to-skin contact with him to heal his body back to his max to defeat Riser," Rias said.

"What!?" Mio and Maria shouted in shock, the former mainly while the latter was excited.

"W-Wait! How and why was Nikki's soul merged with that perverted idiot's body?!" Mio asks, still red-faced about the ordeal having been told by Murayama and Katase about the Perverted Trio’s habit at peeping girls.

"I was fighting this mad scientist from my world who tried to conquer it, and circumstances led to my body being destroyed while my soul was intact; unfortunately, Issei was killed by Raynare; on the bright side, you all have to deal with one less pervert," Sonic said much to Mio and Maria's bafflement.

"My soul merged with Issei's; thankfully, I didn't inherit his pervertedness, but the cost was that I can't fight at my max since his body is too weak for me," Sonic said, annoyed.

"It doesn't help that the pervert spent the majority of his life peeking at girls from the kendo club," Koneko hissed in annoyance.

"You should see the number of times he went to the nurse's office along with the number of times he was beaten by the nurse as well, too," Viser added as well, pinching her brow in annoyance.

"I think you forgot to mention the number of detentions and suspensions that little rat has gotten as well," Kalawarner muttered, still not over the fact that her love interest was in a pervert's body as well.

Mio and Maria sweatdropped at this. "If it weren't for the stray devils attacking me, I wouldn't believe you, but I'm still having trouble that a guy like you is inside a pervert's body," Mio said, shaking her head in disbelief.

"Whatever, shall we get going, ladies?" Sonic said, wanting to train and get back to his full strength.

"Easy, Nikki~" Rias said teasingly as she and Sona were ready to transport themselves to Rias' training grounds.

"Hope you're ready, Mio," Sonic said, getting a nod from her in return.

"Hopefully, we'll all get an orgy as well~," Maria said lewdly, much to everyone's embarrassment except the fallen angels and Akeno, who were blushing and looking at him lustfully with images of him dominating him.

"Quiet you!" Sonic and Mio shouted with their faces red as they hit Maria hard in the head.

"AGH! You're so mean!" Maria said, rubbing the two bumps on her head, getting sweatdrops from everyone.

As soon as they teleported away, they were being watched by the same gentle-looking young man with green hair.

"Seems like it's a good time to strike for you, dear Asia," the male said lustfully as he teleported away.
