Hey! How are you all doing? I hope all of you are in good health.

Last Chapter

Issei stood tall almost 6'2 ft, he could feel the same breeze of his magic, but stronger this time, but stronger this time, as he could feel something akin to running water, but inside him. He looked at his back and found once again the wings of a dragon. Overall, he was very excited.

"So now what?" he asked.

Satan just smirked.

"Now we begin"

Chapter 7: New developments

"… sers out of my fingers? Learning to summon fireballs? To spit fire? Make a giant out of fire? Or maybe…" Issei continued to barrage Satan with question after question. As soon as he had said they would begin Issei hadn't stopped asking what he was going to be taught "…man it would be super awesome to-" "Cursed Shit! Can you shut the fuck up for 5 SECONDS?!" as usual it was only a matter of time before Malacoda gave in into his temper.

That instantly shut Issei up *Sigh* 'Even I was starting to lose my temper' Satan thought "Issei…" he instantly had his attention "…everything you just asked me is possible with enough training…" Issei's smile could be contagious if given enough exposure "…however we won't be doing anything of what you just said"

"What?! Why?!" he could relate with him 'I remember when that Angel started to train me, I was the same' "Then what am I being taught?" Issei asked incredulously.

"Before you learn to attune your soul, you need to attune your mind and body" Lucifer cut in from the side and seeing the confused look on Issei's Satan decided to explain.

"Issei, this is the second time you are in your new true form, but the first time you will actually experience that it is not the same as your human body" Satan started explaining "you could try and learn magic spells and the like, but since you aren't used to your new body, you lack of coordination between your mind and your body will make it impossible for you to cast anything"

"Ok, but what do you guys mean, with 'coordination between body and mind'?" Issei asked while cocking his head a little.

Satan tried to think of a way he could make understand. He looked around to see if there was anything he could use to physically explain. He felt his hair move a little with the wind 'That's it'

"For you to understand, I want you to do the following" Satan saw Issei get a determine look on his face, while tensing his body for anything, but he could see the tiny movement that Issei wasn't aware of "Run towards me at maximum speed, you just have to touch me with your hand and that's it"

Issei gave him a confused look before shaking his head and reading his body. Soon after he saw Issei start sprinting towards him, 'had he been a normal human, he would've been slower' clearly Issei wasn't aware of his speed, or what his body was unconsciously doing.

Satan felt the breeze hit his back, and he smirked.

Just when Issei was about to reach him with his hand, he felt himself be hurled towards the sky by an invisible force 'WHAT?!' he thought to himself.

As soon as said force had appeared it suddenly vanished, and he found himself plummeting to the ground. He tried to think of a way to lower the impact, when once again he felt himself be thrown, but this time backwards right into a tree "OOF" was the only sound he made when he crashed.

He groaned in little pain, while trying to stand up he heard the unmistakable laugh of Malacoda.

"Hahahahahaha! You should've seen your face! You were right there! And then you weren't!" Malacoda continued to laugh, he looked over to Lucifer and found he wasn't laughing but was trying to old in his laughter, and then there was Satan who just had an amused smirk on his face. He felt anger start to rise inside him.

"What the hell was that?! You didn't say anything about you using magic against me!" he accused, but instead of an explanation all e got was Malacoda laughing harder, Lucifer actually starting to laugh, and Satan just broadening his smirk, he got angrier.

"That's the thing Issei, I didn't do anything, neither did Malacoda or Lucifer" Issei's thought processing stopped "Everything that happened to you was because you didn't have an image of your whole body"

"What?" was the only thing Issei manage to say.

[What he is trying to say partner, is that you still think you're in your human body] Ddraig was the one to answer his question as the gems he had in his forearms started to glow [and as such you never realized you opened your wings or that you were sent flying by said wings hitting the sudden gust of wind]

Issei suddenly felt like an idiot for forgetting the extra appendages he gained 'Wait then why did I went back-' [You subconsciously flapped your wings, but instead of slowing your descent you just changed trajectory] 'Oh guess that makes sense'.

"So that's what you guys meant by having my body and mind coordinated" Issei concluded still sitting in the ground and looking at it, suddenly a hand entered his vision.

"All your life you've been a normal human, with a little above average magic reserves, but now you're a demon, a dragon, you are taller, heavier and with extra appendages" Issei grabbed Satan's hand and he was pulled up "but you're also faster, more agile, and more powerful, you'll have to get used to your new body until everything you do, you do it as if you had been born like that"

Issei felt more determined when Satan finished his brief speech, but still smiled a little "So now what?" he asked looking directly into Satan's eyes.

Satan just chuckled lightly while scratching the back of his neck 'Oh that didn't sound good' Issei thought losing his smile and worrying.

"Kukuku" Suddenly he hears chuckling behind him, and slowly he turned around. There he found Malacoda and Lucifer, one with purple fireballs in each hand, and the other with light spears also in both hands "I'd recommend you start running" Issei needn't have to be told twice, since right after he was told that he saw purple fireballs and lances coming his way.

Without missing a beat he started to run towards the forest, trying to keep in mind his huge wings, so they didn't get stuck in any branch or something.

Student Council. Same Time. Sona's POV

I started to stir as I tried to wake up 'Weird I don't remember going to sleep…or getting to my room for that matter' for some reason I couldn't recall why I had been sleeping.

I opened my eyes and looked around me 'What am I doing in the schools infirmary?' I wondered.

Strange.

First I can't remember why I was sleeping, but for some reason I was also in the infirmary 'Maybe I passed out, did I overwork again?' as I continued to try and figure out why I was unconscious in the infirmary, the door opened.

"Kaicho!" I heard Saji yell from the door, he looks to his right and yells again "Everyone! Sona-Kaicho is awake'

I heard the sound of rushing footsteps and soon enough the whole student council/my peerage was in front of me, all, minus Momo and Reya for some reason, were looking at me with worry in their eyes.

"Kaicho are you alright? You suddenly fainted in Tsubaki's arms" Saji explained to me what had happened 'Why would I have fainted? Did I overwork again?' "But don't worry you weren't the only one, Hanakai-san and Kusaka-san fainted too, it doesn't come as a surprise considering what we learned" he trembled a little as he said that last part.

'What we learned? Why did I fainted what happened? I was checking the pape-' my thoughts stopped completely. I remember.

Satan Jacobs. Demon. No known magic affinity. 'And impossible to categorize his power in class tiers, but that should be impossible, the only other beings with such capabilities would've been the first Great Maous and God' I ignore the slight headache for thinking in the divine being "Everyone I need you to go back to the Student Council room and bring me the papers ,I have to talk with Leviathan-sama" I referred to my sister by her formal title so that they know how serious this is.

Saji narrows his eyes, nods and leaves, soon followed by Tomoe and Tsubasa, the last one to leave was Tsubaki, but not before looking back at me "Kaichou, what's going to happen?"

I could hear worry in her voice, but also fear 'I don't blame her, any Devil with more than two brain cells would see the threat Mao-, no, this 'Satan Jacobs' and his peerage represent.' "I don't know Tsubaki, all we can hope for is for the continuation of this peace" I try to ease her worries, but even I don't believe what I said.

"Do you really think another war won't break out?" I lower my head, uncapable of lying to her another time, 'it seemed like she too didn't believe my words' "I-I see" was the last thing she said before finally walking out of the room.

As soon as I stopped hearing her footsteps, I casted a small silencing spell around the room, a small magic circled formed in my hand and brought it closer to my face.

It pulsed once "SO-TAN" before hearing the cheerful voice of my elder sister "SO-TAN, I'm so glad you called, you almost never call anymore! Why So-tan? Are you starting to forget about me? Has your time in Earth been better then all the time with your older sister?" I almost gave a frustrated sigh at constant childish questions, but held myself 'Now is no time to be joking around'

"Onee-san I need to-" I stop when I see a portal open in front of me and from it entered Ashiya-sensei, 'Alsiel, Demon, Telekinesis' I couldn't help but recite in my head "Maou-class" I whispered to myself.

"So-tan? So-tan? Are you okay?" my sister's voice brought me out of my stupor "You needed to- something? Soooooo-taaaaan?" I opened my voice to answer her, but I tense when I saw Ashiya-sensei put a finger in front of his mouth "shhhh" it was a small whisper, but I heard it anyways.

"I need to…" I look back at the magic circle in front of me, I could warn her, but then Ashiya-sensei would kill me without a doubt "…know how you've been Onee-san, after all as you say it's been so long since we last saw each other, and I wouldn't like it if my sister, a Maou, hadn't been keeping up with her work." I relax a little when Ashiya brought his hand down.

"…" but get worried when there was nothing but silence coming from my sisters end "Onee-s" "AW! SO-TAN YOU DO CARE! I've been fantastic! Don't worry about your big sis, I've been scheduling my time as a Maou and Magic girl correctly, one hour doing paperwork, then dump it all on my underlings and go out to help any soul in need! And now thanks to you calling I've to call Sirzechs to inform him I won our bet"

I couldn't help but get angry at how childish my sister was being 'IN FRONT OF MY TEACHER NO LESS' I couldn't help but add, said teacher was looking at the roof as if it was the most interesting thing in the world, I couldn't help but blush in embarrassment.

"Onee-san what do you mean dumping it on your Queen, you're supposed to do it all yourself! And- wait bet? What bet?!" I exclaim into the circle, completely forgetting I wasn't alone.

"Oh you know" she singsonged "A little bet I did with Sirzechs, to see which of our dear and beautiful sisters would call us first wondering how we were, and I WON! I knew you would never forget about your magnificent Magic Girl Big Sis!"

I think my face might resemble a tomato right now, I didn't just know it, I could literally feel the blood rush to my face. *Sigh* I let out a sigh "Ok Onee-san, I just wanted to know how you were doing, I'll call you next time I go to the underworld" I tried to hang, 'This didn't go as planned'.

"Okay So-tan! Keep up your grades! Drink lots of milk, so you grow big and strong like your Big Sis! BYE!" and with that the magic circle in my hand disappears, I let myself drop down in the infirmary's bed and close my eyes 'I almost forgot the handful Nee-san could be'

"Family am I right?"

I snap my eyes open and saw Ashiya-sensei still there 'How could I forget about him?! How could I let my guard down in front of him?!' I was back at full panic mode seeing the Maou-class dev-Demon, she needed to remind herself, in disguise standing in front of me. I try to say anything, scream or look for a way out.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you" he tries to calm me as he took the chair beside the bed and sat down on it "I was just making sure you didn't do anything that might affect us in any way, I was just following the orders from My King" my eyes widen at his last words

'So they are part of Maou's peerage'

"Peerage? Right Rias said something similarly"

'Damn it! I said that aloud, wait did he say Rias?! They've met Rias, and she didn't tell me' "You said that aloud too, yes we've met her, and she can't" I instantly shut my mouth and my brain goes overboard with all the information he just told me.

He reaches for the chair by the door, and brings it closer to the bed I'm in. He sits and lets out a small relaxed sigh, while hanging his head back.

We stay in silence for some seconds and every second I feel my dread grow bigger "So you know what we are, right?" I jump slightly at the sound of his voice. He is still not looking at me, I could try and incapacitate him or 'Maou-class' those thoughts stop me before I do something stupid 'Nothing I throw at him would do much damage or possibly none at all, all I can do is play along.'

"Yes" I finally respond, I hear him say something like 'Of course', before straightening himself and looking her directly in the eye, I can't help but move slightly back at his movements, but all he does is smile slightly, warmly almost… reassuringly?

"Don't be afraid, I jus intervened before you could… "rat us out"" he does some quoting marks with his hands "I believe is the expression I'm looking for, but yeah you don't have to worry"

"How can I not worry!" the words leave my mouth before I can process them "Suddenly five unknown, not to mention insanely powerful demons are in the school, somehow three of them enrolled and the other two as teachers without I being mentioned of anything, and lets not forget one of said demons is sitting in front of me and got here via a portal to stop me from informing my sister about the unexpected development, and soon after tells me not to worry as if that would somehow actually lessen my worries!"

Silence greeted my outburst. A second passed. Then thirty. Then a minute.

'Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuckfuckFUCKFUCK! Why did I start ranting, I'm supposed to be the levelheaded of my family, now because that I'm dead, so de-' my mental rant stopped when I noticed Ashiya-sensei's shoulders moving up and down 'Is he laughing?' I couldn't help myself but feel angry at not being taken seriously.

"Hahahahaha" his laugh was loud, but not boisterous or fake, more like as if he was laughing at some friends joke, which only infuriated me more.

"Stop laughing!" I yelled indignantly 'Oh Maous, what is happening to my collected self'

"Hahahaha, ahhhh, sorry when you put it like that I too would worry for the safety of my King" he explained briefly. 'So, he can relate to a certain level'

Suddenly he stands up and another portal appears behind him, he once again is looking at me in the eyes "Please don't tell anyone of our existence yet, you discovered us fair and square and we commend you for that, but we still can't let you tell anyone else, and let me tell you before you think of doing something like that, Malacoda isn't as forgiving as I" and with that he left the room.

'Malacoda. Demon. Maou-class. Death and Necromancy' I felt myself gulp a little, since it is believed in all Three Factions that anyone who delves in necromancy isn't someone who could be considered sane.

After finally calming down, from the encounter with Ashiya-sensei, I felt the ramifications of what he had said hit me like a bus. 'Suddenly I feel very powerless'

NO.

No, I'm not powerless. I just need to keep a closer eye on them, but not too obvious. I can't use magic to spy on them, it's quite probably they can feel when someone is using magic, if not how did Ashiya-sensei knew I was calling my sister.

I need to get as much information for that when they do reveal themselves, I can help my sister and the Maous react accordingly, but how? Is the real question, there has to be some way, something or someone- Hyoudou! He has been seen hanging out with them 'maybe he was reincarnated into their peerage, if I can get into his good graces, I can get some info on Maou and his peerage.'

Now I had a plan, get close to Hyoudou. Get info. Get close to Hyoudou. Get info. Get close to Hyoudou… I couldn't help but blush a little at how that sounded.

I shook my head and leaned back in the bed 'Maybe I'll sleep a little'.

"Kaichou, we're back with the papers! And Hanakai-san and Kusaka-san are awake now!" Saji's loud voice, interrupted my attempt to sleep.

'Right, I have to explain to them the new development'

Random woods in the world. 1hour and 36 minutes later. Issei POV.

'How long have we been doing this?'

{If I had to go by the position of the sun, I would say around one hour and a half partner} my ever-loyal partner Ddraig responds.

'Seriously?! Man, I thought it had been longer' I let out a sigh 'Man it sure feels like an eternity has passed' I continued to dash from tree to tree, I realized I could cover great distances with a leap forward 'Maybe is because I'm not use to this kind of pain, which by the way my body feels like shit'

{You're still overextending yourself when you move, and sometimes you underextend as if you were in your old body, it's only natural your body would get hurt} Ddraig explained, with great insight {But in time you'll get used to it, until eventually it never happens again, you've accomplished great leaps in this hour and a half than many of my previous hosts}

'You've done this a lot haven't you?' hearing the dragon give him tips and staying overall optimistic makes me wonder how many times he had trained his previous hosts.

{Rarely did I ever get a host with formal training, and when I did they still needed to be trained in how to best use my magic, also most hosts were a lot like you, inexperienced and unaware of the supernatural, which in turn yes, I've done this several times} Ddraig calmly and collectively answered.

'Wow, so you've been around quite a long time uh?' I bring my wings closer to my back so that they wouldn't hit the tree ahead of me.

{Yes indeed, I was a free Dragon for thousands of years, until a few hundred years after the Assassination of Yahve's child, was I sealed alongside Albion} he tells me fondly as if he was remembering some good times.

'Wait, you mean to tell me Jesus was assassinated?!' I ask shocked, because wow that changed everything I knew about the bible 'I thought he was crucified and then came back like three or four days later'

{Yes, I believe that was the name of Yahve's child, and yes, he was indeed assassinated} I was so distracted by what Ddraig had told me that I didn't see a fireball approaching until it was too late.

I felt the fire hit and expand in my left arm, and I bit back a bit of pain I felt, I looked to the left and saw Malacoda prepare more fireballs, I quickly dove to cover behind a tree to my right and just when I thought I was about to get it I felt my wing get stuck and get hit by a fireball "Good thing I'm part dragon" I mumble.

I quickly recalled the burnt wing, and brought it in front of me 'How bad does it look?' I asked Ddraig since it was still a new experience having wings for me.

{Not too bad, you should try and get out of here by flying, maybe this time you'll stick the landing}

'I still can't believe it! How the hell is landing harder than flying?' the first time I tried, just about an hour ago, it had seemed so stupid the way Ddraig had explained it '{Imagine going up he had said, your body will do the rest, and once you're in the air just think of not wanting to fall}', how was that a good plan?!, but I still did so and thought about going up, and woah and behold I was actually flying.

I had thought I could avoid them if I stayed in the air, until Lucifer appeared with his wings extended 'I swear he was mocking me' and started to throw Holy lances at me, forcing me to try and land and so I thought 'If thinking about going up helps me fly, and not falling helps me hover, then thinking of going down will lower me'.

Spoilers. It did not work. There is a Issei shaped hole somewhere along the forest as prove of that.

"Hey! How was I supposed to know that for landing you actually have to have a strategy!" 'Stupid dragon for not telling me' I mentally complain.

{Do you forget that I can hear your thoughts? Also, you-}

"-GAVE AWAY YOUR POSITION! DIE! HAHAHAHA!" I quickly run away from the tree I was hiding behind, before it combusts into purple fire.

"Fuck" I lightly grumble 'Ok yeah, I also need to learn how to move in the air, so yeah let's go for it' I mentally reply to Ddraig while I start looking for a clearing in where to jump into the air.

'There!' I start running towards the clearing I saw, when I get there I quickly jump into the air and I can feel my wings flap strongly while doing so. I look down to see if he is-

I quickly snap my head up as a fireball misses by an inch 'Oh yeah he is still behind me' I try to maneuver, but it is still hard to do so, so I just flap when I see a fireball coming from below and 'CLOSE THEM!'

My wings fold and I drop a few feet before opening them again just in time to see a glowing stick fly past the spot I was at, stop and hover and see Lucifer ready more lances.

Eyes widening, I quickly start flying up while still looking at his direction so I can evade any that come close to hitting me.

'Right, left, wings, legs, head, right, right, left, say Ddraig' I hear the mental 'mmm' 'Why don't you give me a little boost?'

{You must get used to this body without my intervention and not overly depend on boosts as many other hosts had done, I narrow my eyes searching for Malacoda since whenever Lucifer stops attacking is because is Malacoda's turn to do so.

I keep looking around, but all I see is Lucifer still looking at me {Or maybe he's looking around you partner} as soon as Ddraig's words register in my mind it's too late, as I feel a giant fireball impact me in the back and send me crashing into the ground all the while flames dance around my body.

"AAAAHHHH" I scream in pain as the fire consumes my body, I grit my teeth and I see the ground fast approaching, as a desperate effort I try to slow my descent by opening my wings, but this time they are more damaged and so they flail around.

*BOOOOM*

My body crashes into the ground, the flames instantly disappear but I still feel my whole-body ache, my breathing is ragged. I hear heavy footsteps land above my head me and I open my eyes to see Satan with an amused smile that gets a little on my nerves.

"I believe that's enough for today" he says while still sporting that smile "Lucifer, Malacoda you two did great pushing him around while holding back, while I without a doubt believe his body can withstand some of our high-mid spells and low-high spells his reaction speed still needs improvement." I smiled a little when he mentioned I could withstand great pain, but it died down when my reaction speed was brought up. 'I did get hit many times during the training session, but at least by the end I could somewhat react to them'

"We'll do this the this same time all week, or until Issei can completely evade all of your attacks then we'll proceed to CQC with Adramelech, understood?!" he sounded like a coach or something like that, I couldn't help but chuckle lightly.

""Yes, my Lord"" both Lucifer and Malacoda answered at the same time while bowing lightly.

"Y-yes m-my Lord…do I have to call you 'my Lord'?" it felt weird saying that, as if we were in medieval Europe or something.

"You needn't call me that, in this form call me Satan-sama or Satan if you like, and in human just Maou" he said while bringing me up to my feet.

"Thanks Satan" I stop for a moment "wow am I glad my family isn't Christian" Satan laughed at my comment.

"No, but you should get going, I believe it's nighttime in Kuoh and they might be worried" he said as he waved his hand and a portal appeared behind him "this portal while drop you above Kuoh, enjoy flying a little, you haven't had the time to feel the freedom that comes with it"

I nod and walk towards the portal, when I remember something important "Ah, about the time we'll do this…" he was walking to another portal, probably to their home "…could it maybe be an hour later, I promised the Kendo club that I would clean their club as a way to compensate for my perversion, if it isn't much to ask for" my voice grew thinner as he started to ponder over my request halfway through it.

"Sure" I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding "It is the right course of action towards redemption, so yeah, we'll start an hour later then" I nod satisfied and finally go through the portal in front of me.

I'm immediately falling through the, but Maou did warn me 'Yeah calling him Satan all the time is still weird, I'll refer to him as Maou when alone' I expand my wings and I start gliding over Kuoh and towards my home.

I land in front of my house, about to enter when I remember I'm still in my demon form, I think about my human self and I'm back to normal.

"I'm home" I announce my arrival, while taking of my shoes.

"Welcome back sweetie" I hear my mom call over from the kitchen "Could you please set the table; dinner is almost ready"

The night goes like any other night, we have dinner talk a little and then I go back to my room.

And now I'm lying in my bed 'Ddraig?' he mentally grunts signaling he's listening 'One day you need to tell me that story about Jesus' a second passes before he grunts in confirmation.

And so I close my eyes and sleep.

Kuoh streets. 5:50 am. Issei's POV.

I yawn for quite possibly the fifth time since I woke up, and the second one since I left my home.

I had to wake up earlier than usual thanks to my promise to Katase, I faintly remember when she and Murayama enter the classroom in the morning, talking about how tiring it is to clean the Dojo. 'So that means they must clean it in the morning before classes and after training sessions' was my conclusion.

It was a miracle that when waking I didn't feel sore at all, 'I think it has something to do with better healing capabilities of being a demon/dragon' was the only explanation I could come up by myself because apparently Ddraig was a heavy sleeper 'How can you mentally snore?'

It's almost six in the morning and I start to see the first glimmers of light appear in the sky and the clouds, I enjoy the dawn a little before turning my head back ahead.

I see two figures standing in front of the building soon I recognize Katase's hair and Murayama's twin tails. They don't seem to be talking to each other, since Katase seems to be leaning on the wall, while Murayama just has her arms cross and not looking in Katase's way.

'I hope I didn't cause any tensions in their friendships with my proposal' they had been friends since as long as I knew them and seeing them so apart felt wrong.

The first to see me was Katase who sighs a little, but soon after she smiles.

"See Murayama I told you he would show up, he was serious after all" she called out to her best friend, said friend just scoffed at seeing me.

"So, the pervert did show up" she shot me a glare, I tried not to flinch under her gaze 'Get yourself together Issei, you just went through something akin to a magic fight yesterday, don't let this cow you' when she saw I didn't flinch she scoffed again and went to open the Club's door "I'll take out the equipment" she announced towards Katase completely disregarding me "I'm warning you Katase, you'll regret this"

*Sigh* I heard the pinkette let out another sigh, I approach her but she stops me with a hard stare 'Better than a glare' "One chance Hyoudou, don't make me regret this" she warns me and then enters the building.

'No one ever said the path to redemption was an easy one' I think as I follow her and close the door behind me.

Kuoh Academy. Recess time.

Yesterday had been a good day, he now had an idea of where Issei's power was around Akohda had his fun attacking Issei, and Lucifer had gone with the fallen angel they had "incarcerated" to try and get her to become our informant… he never retuned during the night and makes Maou wonder what actually happened.

The only complication was the news he received from Ashiya about the Student Council's President Sona Shitori contacting this dimensions Underworld, and almost reveal of their existence. He congratulated Ashiya by how he acted and not erasing her memories that would be unfair for someone who actually earned their answers.

But said answers were starting to tick him off.

Maou was trying to eat his lunch in peace. 'Trying' being the key word to his frustrations.

Since entering the school, he has felt the gaze of one Sona Shitori and her friend Tsubaki Shinra… He had to ask Ashiya the name of the latter since he couldn't remember.

When he entered his classroom, he hadn't noticed the continuous staring until Ashiya had twice asked Sona a question and the later had done a surprised 'eep' before answering correctly.

Another example was when he went to the bathroom and crossed paths with a blonde student, he remembered seeing in the Student Council, said student saw him and completely froze, just when he asked him if he was alright the blonde reacted and darted down the hall.

And now he was in the cafeteria trying to enjoy Ashiya's cooking but unable to do so, with all the stares he was now aware of, coming from different directions.

"I'm going to kill them. I'm going to kill them all if they don't stop" Akohda stated beside me.

"Calm down Akohda…*munch*…we can't help it…*munch*…they just learned that we are above them in every way" Lucifer says while eating his food as fast as possible.

Maou made some words that Akohda grumbled of 'how annoying it was becoming' or 'next time they looked in his direction'.

"What happened to you last night anyway?" Maou asked before grabbing some rice and eating it "You disappeared saying you were going to see the Fallen Angel and never returned, did something happen?" he questioned with a knowing grin.

"Nothing of the like happened" Lucifer was quick to refute with a harsh glare "I did go there to start convincing her to become our informant, but she still seemed afraid of some douche named 'Azazel'" he spat that last name for some reason.

'I don't remember there being an Angel named, as far as this worlds 'Bible' says the only names similar to the ones from Ente Isla have been Lucifer, Gabriel and Michael' Maou thought.

"She believed the Fallens leader would kill her and all of us if she accepted to be our informant, so I tried to show her that I was just as powerful if not more powerful than this Azazel" he explained.

"You took her out?!" Akohda exclaimed enraged "She could've tricked you into doing that, she could've made some sort of signal to her leaders! Why did you think taking her out was a good idea! She-"

"Relax, I thought the same thing that's why while showing some of my power I kept a close eye to on her" Lucifer was quick to stop Akohda's rant and Maou gave a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but notice that Lucifer cheeks were a little tinted, his knowing grin came back full force.

"Oh, 'kept a close eye on her' did you? Are you sure you weren't looking for some reactions to your power?" this time Lucifer blush expanded, and quickly averted his gaze.

'Oh yeah, this is the blackmailing material I have been missing' Maou couldn't help but grin mischievously.

He returned his attention towards his food, but before doing so he locked eyes with another member of the student council, a white haired girl with a big bust, said busty beauty realized she was looking directly into his eyes and quickly stood up accidentally hitting the girl besides her and making her drop her food.

And a screaming fight ensued, he and quite possibly Lucifer and Akohda relished the negative emotions that girl was emitting.

'Maybe them knowing for now won't be so bad' Maou thought while eating the last part of his lunch 'As long as this dimension Underworld doesn't know of us for now, we are fine, we still need more to prepare.'

Underworld. Same time.

Sirzechs Lucifer wasn't a free man/demon.

Some would say that being the most powerful demon and holding the Title of Lucifer would in turn be benefits after benefits. Riches. Women. Power.

He only had two of those since he was sure Grayfia would castrate if he ever laid with another woman, not that he would mind you, he loves his wife very much and he would never think about cheating on his wife, in fact he will hit himself for thinking about that just now.

*SLAM* The sound of his fist colliding with his face resonates through his empty office.

The point was that even if he did have power and riches, what they didn't tell you was that you lost your freedom to the worst enemy of all. Paperwork!

All freedom was taken from you and you were chained, metaphorically speaking, to an office with its endless paperwork, he didn't know how the old Maous dealt with this, but he knew why you couldn't find them 12 hours every day.

He has tried everything. Giving it to his peerage. Underlings. One time he brought his father to 'show' him around, but all his plans failed in the end because of his loving wife. Grayfia always knew when he wasn't working, and whenever he finished for the day, the next one there was another stack waiting for him.

Which is why he was reading the latest reports of new reincarnated demons, strays, and requests for rating games.

At least his paperwork was related to everything he was good at.

He was about to finish reading the latest request for a rating game, when a magic circle appeared inside his office. Only six people had enough magic and the access to make a teleportation to his office. The other three Maous, his wife and his father and mother.

He looked at the circle and when he saw the markings of Leviathan, he prepared himself for the incoming human missile.

"SIRZ-CHAN!" out of the circle appeared Serafall who quickly jumped over his papers trying to tackle him in a hug, but he was prepared instead he caught her midair.

"Serafall, what a surprise! Shouldn't you be working?" 'I don't know how much paperwork the others have, but they should-'

"Nope, I left it all to my underlings" she cheerfully answered, Sirzechs eye ticked a little before relaxing 'Lucky'.

"What brings you here then?" it was rare for two Maous to meet without any formal date, or reason, there was always at least a heads up 'Although this is Serafall we're talking about, so its not to hard to think she would do something like this.'

*Smack**Smack* Sirzechs was brought out of his musings by a pouting Serafall who was hitting him in the chest "You're thinking something bad about me I can feel it!" the holder of the title Lucifer panicked and started to look for forms to calm the pouting Leviathan.

"N-no I wasn't, I was um thinking of how nice of you to come visit, yeah that's what I was thinking about" the Maou-class demon chuckled nervously.

"Aww Sirz-chan, it is nothing" the change in attitude was quick and so sudden he took a second to recover "Aaaanyway besides coming to see how you were doing I came to inform you of two very important things"

"oh? Oh! What is it?"

"Something has happened in Kuoh"

.

.

.

"WHAT?!" the sudden change in Serafall's tone sounds many alarms in Sirzechs head, but what really set him off was what she said "WE NEED TO GO THERE! I'LL CALL MY PEERAGE! I NEED TO MAKE SURE MY DEAR RIAS-CHAN IS OK!" he started to run towards the exit when Serafall quickly blocked his path.

"Wowowow, don't do anything drastic, something has happened yes, but I don't know what it is it's a feeling I got when I talked with Sona-chan yesterday" she rapidly exclaim seeing his best friend about to lose it again, once she finished she saw him calm down.

Sirzechs took deep breaths with each one, getting calmer and thinking rationally "Ok, ok" he let out some air "you talked to Sona, and she told you something had happened, is that what you're trying to say?" he asked as calmly as he could.

"Weeeeell… not exactly"

'I'm going to lose it again' Sirzechs thought to himself "What do you mean?"

"I mean that when she called, she said she needed something, when suddenly she…she stopped, as if something had caused her to pause and rethink her words" Serafall carefully explained trying hard not to leave any detail out.

"You're saying that maybe she was trying to tell you something but was stopped?" he received a nod.

"When she first called me it sounded urgent, but then suddenly she tried to make it sound as if it hadn't been as urgent, I know my sister Sirzechs whenever she wants to tell me something she does, she never stops to consider her words, because she already thought of them beforehand"

'Yes, Sona always knows what to say and almost never stutters, she only does when Serafall is in her magic girl persona' he tried to deduce what might could have happened on Earth for Sona to try and warn them about it "Did she sound in danger or afraid, when she talked to you?"

"No, she only sounded desperate, but also didn't sound as if she was in danger, when I told her I dumped my paperwork on my underlings, she was back to her old self"

"Then it can't be anything that would upset the Status Quo with Grigori and Heaven, right?"

"I don't think so, well at least I hope not" Serafall sounded insecure of her answer "All I know is that something interrupted Sona, and caused her to not tell me what was happening"

Sirzechs tried to think of a way to know what was happening without going to Earth themselves "I know, I'll call Rias and ask her if anything abnormal, or out of the ordinary has happened, how does that sound?"

Serafall nodded at his idea "Sounds like a plan"

He then remembered what she had said at the very beginning "Wait you said you needed to tell me two things, what's the second one?"

Suddenly her face adorned a smug smile "Oh nothing just that in that same call So-tan asked me how I was doing" she informed him, and it took him a minute to get what she was trying to say, but he got it.

"WHAT?! NOOOOO! RIAS-CHAN WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL? DON'T YOU REMEMBER YOUR BIG BROTHER" Sirzechs howled to the sky.

"That's right now you have to wear a magic girl outfit for the next month, don't worry I'll make sure it suits you" she continued to rub her victory in front of him.

"That shouldn't count she wasn't calling for that originally!" the male Maou tried to find way to escape his fate.

"Nope, it counts, we never did set the conditions of the call, just that one of them needed to ask for our wellbeing" she formed a magic circle under her and quickly teleported, but the last thing Sirzechs saw was Serafall leave a picture of a white Magic girl outfit with red highlights.

"NOOOOOOO"

And that's a wrap.

It's kind of sad that this hard times is when I have time to continue this, but that's how life works sometimes. I hope many of you are doing good and are full of health.
