Sirzechs Lucifer, regarded by many in the super natural community as the most powerful Super-Devil in existence. He had been a prodigy since birth and ascended to the level of Ultimate-Class Devil before he was twenty years of age. His accomplishments were numerous, and his strength was unquestionable. He'd lead a revolution against the old Maou faction and won proving his strength and intellect on the battlefield numerous times. He'd abolished old outdated laws and helped to bring an era of relative peace among the three factions of Christianity. Along with Ajuka he helped to bring Devils back from the brink of extinction using the Evil Pieces system and pave the way for reincarnated devils to advance to higher levels, much to the displeasure of some of the surviving noble houses. He further angered some of the other noble houses by taking to former old faction loyalist Grayfia to be his wife and queen.
Sirzechs was indeed a powerful and influential man, but he'd made many enemies on his way to becoming the current Lucifer. Various nobles houses plotted against him in secret and others opposed him at every political opportunity forcing delegation, and other law making processes to take much more time than needed. Sirzechs would never admit how much he wanted to just disintegrate the old bastards that couldn't get over the past, but Devils were already struggling to rebuild their numbers even with the Evil Pieces system, which posed numerous problems and was one of the causes on his seemingly constant headaches. Case in point was a file that was currently strewn across his desk.
Everett Cain was a middle-aged high ranking noble, and well-known supporter of some of the old Maou faction's laws and teachings. Though he and his clan remained neutral during the civil war, it was all but proven that they had given aid to various members of the old Maou faction during the war. When it was decided that all noble's houses and their offspring would be able to receive Evil Pieces at their request, he was quick to fill his peerage with young and beautiful women. Many knew that he was a lecherous man but that in itself wasn't a crime, what was a crime was depicted in several of the photos that Sirzechs lifted up to observe with a frown on his face. Images of young women and in some cases young girls bound and beaten, other were even more gruesome as they showed mutilated bodies with obvious signs of sexual assault, some even having sexist slurs written on their bodies in marker or in some more serious cases the victims own blood.
Sirzechs balled his fist in frustration, while he, Serafall, and Ajuka had pushed at every opportunity for stricter laws on what was and was not allowed to happen to reincarnated devils by their masters. They were met with strong opposition, by many of the Pillar families that continued to view reincarnated devils as slaves with little to no rights. Most who created peerages treated the members as property instead of people, though there were a few families that were well known for treating their peerage members with respect and even as close as family members in some cases, they were by far the minority. As a Maou Sirzechs hands were tied in this matter, the only legal thing he could do was to give the case to internal affairs but that would likely result in a slap on the wrist at most but more likely end in nothing. Everett was a bastard that deserved much worse and Sirzechs was determined to find a way to make that happen.
"My Lord may suggest…our enemies have never been above underhanded tactics perhaps it is time we beat them at their own game." Grayfia suggested from his side.
"What did you have in mind dear" Sirzechs asked turning to his beloved.
"There are many who are still imprisoned unfairly for actions against the previous Maou Faction. I know of one who was imprisoned right before the war ended, he has yet to be released and could prove extremely useful if coerced to our side" Grayfia stated moving behind her husband and placing her arms on his shoulders.
"You have my interest…who exactly do you have in mind" Sirzechs questioned.
"Are you familiar with a young man with the moniker 'The Youngest Ultimate'" Grayfia asked.
"I am familiar with the title, it refers to a Devil who was considered to be the youngest Devil to ever reach the rank of Ultimate-Class even beating my record. I never did learn the name of who the title referred to though" Sirzechs answered.
"Damian Anzil is his name." Grayfia clarified. She felt Sirzechs body tense briefly.
"He's from the Anzil Clan" Sirzechs gasped. "You mean the Anzil Clan that was formerly known as one of the 'Pillars of Sin'"
"That's correct. During the war you should recall that the Seven Clans known as the 'Pillars of Sin' decided to remain neutral and as a result they were nearly wiped out completely by those that feared they would shift the outcome in favor of one side or another. Many Devils from both sides came together to ensure the Clans destruction, and they succeeded. Only a few members of each clan remain. Damian Anzil is the last living member of his clan. Having been absent during the raid on his clan's territory, upon returning to find all of his kin slaughtered he single handedly took on an entire battalion of soldiers from the old Maou faction, only being defeated after Rizevim showed to confront him. Instead of being killed he was imprisoned in secret with hopes that he could be swayed to the Old Factions side. Of course, the war ended before that could happen and he's most likely been in stasis ever since" Grayfia revealed.
"That's…a lot to take in." Sirzechs rested his chin on his intertwined fingers in thought. "Do you think we could bring him to our side"
"He more than likely hates anyone that had anything to do with the Old Maou Faction. I believe in that regard he will be our ally, though I am not sure of anything beyond that since I have never met him in person" Grayfia responded.
"It worth a shot…if he was imprisoned and put into stasis he is most likely being held in the Devil's section of Tartarus. It will be easy to free him and bring him to our side without anyone knowing…as long as he cooperates that is" Sirzechs stood. With a wave of his hand a Teleportation circle appeared in the center of his office. Silently he and Grayfia stepped onto it and immediately reappeared in an empty sub-corridor within the bowels of the most feared prison in the super natural world.
Sirzechs knew exactly where he was going, having put more than a few of the inmates away himself. He and Grayfia made their way deeper and deeper into the infernal pit. Only the most dangerous of criminals or those that held some sort of political edge were put into stasis on the lowest levels. There was no need for guards as escape was impossible once the stasis was triggered. "Looks like we're here" Sirzechs commented as they came to a large steel door reinforced with runes. Next to the massive door was a control pad, with a numeric key code. Sirzechs went to input his personal pin but was stopped by his silver haired queen who shook her head. "They don't update these key codes often I my still be able to use my old pin code to access the system" Grayfia stepped forward inputting a several digit pin code. 'Access granted flashed across the screen and green before the door smoothly slid open.
Sirzechs extended his hand and a crimson magic circle appeared in front of it. Suddenly a thin red stream of energy streaked away from the circle darting around the corner and disappearing from their field of vision. "A tracking spell, as long as I know the name or magical energy of the being I'm trying to track this spell can find them as long as the remain perfectly still" Sirzechs explained when Grayfia raised her eyebrows curiously. "It quite useless in most scenarios but it will serve its purpose in this case" Sirzechs quickly followed the thin crimson line around several corners before coming to a stop in front a sealed cell.
A clipboard with a single sheet of paper was present outside of the door, with the name 'Damian Anzil' scribbled across it. "Looks like this is it" Sirzechs said stepping forward. He placed his hand on the door creating several magic circles that slowly but surely canceled out the stasis magic leaving no trace of it once the crimson haired Maou was done. Once the magic was canceled the door opened and Grayfia took a battled stance ready for anything.
"I can't believe it…he's barely older than Rias" Sirzechs said shocked as he stepped into the room. Even Grayfia could hide her surprise at finding such a young teen. A young caramel skinned teen maybe around 14 years of age in terms of looks, was shitless and suspended by chains hanging him by his wrist in the middle on the small room. "He's been in stasis for quite some time it may take him a while to actually awaken" Sirzechs easily broke through the chains catching the boy before he hit the ground. "It's time to go" with that Sirzechs and Grayfia vanished taking the still asleep teen with them.
(Scene change, guest bedroom Gremory main estate two days later)
Damian jerked awake, his eyes snapped open his pupils quickly dilating and adjusting to the pitch-black room. His acute senses of hearing and smell let him known he wasn't alone in the room and his eyes quickly snapped to the corner where a Crimson haired man sat observing him quietly.
"Who are you, where am I, where is Rizevim" Damian growled as memories of his destroyed clan and his defeat at the hands of the Super-Devil flowed through him. His eyes turned into beast like slits and he bared his pronounced upper and lower canines.
"Easy there I'm a friend, the name is Sirzechs Lucifer. I was formerly known as Sirzechs Gremory before I was elected as the new Maou. As for where you are…you are in a guest bedroom at the Gremory's family's main estate, you'll be safe here." Sirzechs explained putting his hands up to show he had no hostile intentions.
"New Maou…that means the Old Maou Faction lost the war. Serves them right those underhanded bastards." Damian spat and Sirzechs nodded in agreement having no love for the Old Maou Faction and their way of thinking.
"You were in stasis for quite some time, what's the last thing you remember" Sirzechs asked.
"I remember coming back to my family's estate…I remember I was visiting someone, I just can't remember who. There was blood and bodies everywhere, my entire family had been slaughtered like animals. It was Rizevim and his followers that did it." Damian paused.
"How do you know it was him" Sirzechs asked.
"Some of those bastards stayed behind to loot the place. When I found them, I made them tell me what I wanted to know. I went after Rizevim as soon as I knew he was responsible, lost count of how many tried to get in my way…none of them lasted more than a few seconds" Damian recalled. "After tearing through enough of his men Rizevim finally showed himself…I wanted to rip his throat out, but he was too strong. I lost the battle and was blasted until I lost consciousness, to be honest I'm surprised I'm not dead, did you rescue me" Damian asked.
"Yes, but not in the way you have in mind. Like I said earlier you've been in stasis for quite some time. After your loss to Rizevim he took you to Tartarus and put you into stasis hoping to utilize you at a later date, he and the Old Maou Faction loss the war before that could happen and you have been in stasis up until to days ago, when my queen and I rescued you" Sirzechs explained.
"That bastard, as if I would have ever fought for him after what he did to my family" Damian growled.
"It's possible that he may have planned to alter your memoires while you were in stasis" Sirzechs commented. "Is there anything you're having trouble remembering"
Damian closed his eyes and thought about his past…he could remember who he was as well as his family. He remembered his magic and fighting skills as well as many other things that were related to himself or his family. However, whenever he tried to recall other children or Devils he'd met outside his family he couldn't recall them even though he was sure they existed. "My memories feel somewhat incomplete, I can't recall certain people or events even though I'm sure they must've happened" Damian said sadly.
"I see it is possible that you could simply have partial amnesia due to being in stasis for such a prolonged period" Sirzechs intertwined his fingers in thought.
"You said that earlier…the thing about me being in stasis in Tartarus for a while. Exactly how long was I in stasis for, it feels like it was at least a year or two maybe five at the most" Damian figured he couldn't have been in stasis that long of a time. After all, members from the 'Pillars of Sin' would come looking for him after what befell his family.
"Damian I'm afraid you've been in stasis for almost a hundred years." Sirzechs said sadly.
"O-one hundred years" Damian gasped. "B-but the other Pillars surely they would've come looking for me"
"You mention the 'Pillars of Sin'. What exactly are they" Sirzechs asked.
"The 'Pillars of Sin' were seven family or Clans that were recognized by the original Lucifer. They were given titles that mimicked the seven deadly sins. My Family, the Anzil Clan represented the Pillar of Wrath" Damian explained. "The Pillars of Sin sole purpose was to serve the Maou directly, we would carry out personal missions that the Maou entrusted us with when the other Noble Clans disagreed. It was the whole reason our family's remained neutral during the war. When the civil war began the Maou's position came up for grabs, we could only continue to serve after someone was reelected to each position. With everyone else dead I assume that responsibility falls to me now in regards to my clan" Damian said sadly.
"I see…much of the Devils secret history was lost when the Library in Lilith burned to the ground. Perhaps there are survivors from the other Pillars of Sin" Sirzechs said in hopes of cheering the young teen up.
"If it has truly been nearly a hundred years since I was put into stasis and no other Pillars have approached you after you were elected to be the new Lucifer then there can only be one outcome. The Pillars are sworn to sever the Maou down to the last member meaning that if you only found me after all these years…then I am the only one left" Damian breathed out holding back tears.
Sirzechs heart truly hurt for the boy. Here was a teen barely older than his sister who'd already gone through so much, his clan had been slaughtered, he himself had been imprisoned for nearly a century and after waking he found that he was the sole surviving member of seven clans that he'd no doubt had ties with as a child. "I am sorry for your loss" Sirzechs said genuinely.
"Where is Rizevim" Damian asked softly.
"I don't know, he disappeared during our final battle" Sirzechs shook his head. "Wait where do you think your going" Sirzechs quickly stood as Damian went to get out of the bed.
"I'm going to find that bastard and kill him" Damian growled struggling to stand as his legs readjusted to being used after being dormant.
"I've been looking for Rizevim for the better part of a century, if I can't find him with all my resources as a Maou what hope do you have. Any support you may have had in the past is gone, Devil society has changed since the last time you walked among us. I know you seek vengeance, but blindly searching for Rizevim isn't going to get you it" Sirzechs blocked the doorway.
"Then what would you have me do" Damian screamed. His voice was angry and pleading as if he was searching for an answer of what to do with his life now that everything had changed. He was in desperate need of a new purpose and even bigger need of someone to support him now that his family was gone.
"I can help you…if you want vengeance that is. Rizevim may be out of our grasp for now, but there are many others who supported the Old Maou Faction within the current 72 Pillars." Sirzechs stood. "If you wish to continue your family's legacy and service to the Maou, to me. I can promise you a shot at taking down Rizevim whenever we find him".
"You would allow me to uphold my family's legacy" Damian looked Sirzechs in the eyes hopefully.
"Only if you wish to serve me. If not than you are free to do as you wish. Even if you chose to serve me I will not consider you a servant but an ally that I can depend on to handle task on my behalf if need be. In other words, I'd like to be your friend" Sirzechs offer his hand.
"I will continue my family's legacy not just for myself but for all those who have fallen" Damian reached out and took Sirzechs hand. His eyes burned with determination and passion.
"Good to hear…I do actual have an assignment for you but first I'd like you to meet someone. Also, there's a bunch of clothes in the closet, pick whatever you like I think you'll find that your current clothes are a bit to outdated to fit in now. I'll be waiting outside" Sirzechs smiled and left to wait outside.
Damian shook in place for several seconds…as various emotions ran through him. He could still remember the blank faces of his mother, father and younger siblings and their mutilated bodies. Anger and rage filled him, his breathing increased, his canines grew even more pronounced and his eyes turned into beast like slits. He could feel his magic itching to be released but forced it down as his mother's words about losing himself to rage echoed through his mind. After a few deep shaky breaths Damian felt his more destructive urges fade away, replaced by a deep sadness everything he once knew, everyone he'd once loved, all of it was gone. He'd have to adapt to an entirely new period alone. Even though Sirzechs words brought him hope and a sense of purpose, he still felt somewhat empty. He realized he never even got a chance to properly bury and mourn his clan. Perhaps Sirzechs would allow him to go to his family's territory, if it still existed and hadn't been given to another Devil Clan, that way he could at least have some sort of closure.
Damian shook his head in a physical effort to clear his mind and walked over to the closet opening it he found a variety of clothing along with a body mirror, so he could check the way he looked. Damian grabbed a bunch of random articles of clothing and proceeded to try on several different combinations before finding one that suit his taste. He picked out a pair of black slim fit jeans along with a white tank top, over the tank top he wore a nice white short sleeve button down that he left unbuttoned and a black hoodie with golden and black fur around the collar and sleeves he liked the fur since he represented the colors of his Clan. He left the hoodie unzipped and threw on a pair of black timberland boots to complete his look. He looked in the mirror and checked over himself and found that he hadn't changed at all while he was in stasis, not that that surprised him.
He still stood at about 5'6 had dark caramel skin and golden eyes. His hair black hair was style and multiple braids that hung loosely down to his shoulders each braid was clipped with golden pieces to hold them from falling apart, Damian always thought they contrasted nicely with his raven black hair, so he left them in despite their outdated style. When he exited the room, he found Sirzechs talking to a silver haired woman dressed in a maid outfit. The woman noticed Damian's presence first and bowed slightly "Lord Anzil it is a pleasure to finally meet you, my name is Grayfia" Grayfia introduced herself.
"Please just call me Damian, I don't feel much like a Lord right now and it would just make me feel uncomfortable…especially if it was by the current Lucifer's lover" Damian commented offhandedly noticing the look of shock on the young adults faces. "What…you two are lovers are you not"
"You are correct, Grayfia is my wife and queen. How did you know we were intimate" Sirzechs asked.
"Your scents are rubbed off on each other in a way that only lovers tend to do. One of my Clan innate abilities is heightened senses, even among Devils our senses were well beyond anyone else." Damian explained. "You called her your queen…has Devil society become a monarchy while I was in stasis" Damian asked.
"No there are still four Maou that rule over Devils. It seems that there are many things I need to explain lucky we have some time before I'd like you to take your first assignment" Sirzechs glanced at his wife who nodded and began to lead them down the hall.
"You look rather nice in that outfit, it would seem this era of style agrees with you" Sirzechs commented as they walked.
"Thanks, I have to admit I do find these clothes to be a bit weird, but they are very comfortable" Damian moved around to show they didn't restrict his movements much.
"I'm glad to hear it" Sirzechs smiled.
"Who are you meeting, if you don't mind me asking Lord Lucifer" Damian asked.
"Damian please just refer to me as Sirzechs, at least when we are in a private setting such as this. I am not one to harp on my title. As for who we are meeting that would be Rias my little sister and her Queen Akeno as well as Sona Sitri and her Queen Tsubaki Shinra. Sona is the little sister of the new Leviathan Serafall" Sirzechs explained. "They are all maybe two years younger than yourself, I'd like you to make friends with them and look after them if possible"
"I'll protect them with my life" Damian said quickly causing Sirzechs to chuckle.
"I'd expect nothing less from the 'Youngest Ultimate'" Sirzechs laughed.
"Damnit seriously that moniker still followed me I see…ugh I was never actually officially ranked as an Ultimate level Devil, my father just would never shut-up about how much of a prodigy I was and eventually started calling me the youngest future ultimate class devil. Others in my Clan decided to get in on the fun and just shortened it to call me the 'Youngest Ultimate' even though it never happened" Damian huffed his eyes slightly shaking at the bitter sweet memory.
"It sounds like your father and your clan cared for you very much" Sirzechs mused.
"They were all a bunch of high strung goofballs…you'd never expect the Pillar of Wrath to be filled with a bunch of practical jokers" Damian snorted.
"I'm sure it was a very entertaining environment to grow up in" Grayfia offered a small smile.
"It was…it really was" Damian said distantly. They fell into a comfortable silence until Sirzechs knocked on an apparently random door and Damian heard a young girls voice answer "Come in" Sirzechs opened the door and Damian was greeted with the sight of four pre-teen girls. One had long Crimson hair and sapphire eyes Damian was sure this had to be Rias as her resemblance to Sirzechs was uncanny. Next to her was a girl with long black hair and obviously of Japanese descent, she had violet eyes and smell of ozone and very subdued holy energy. 'Hmm maybe a fallen angel half-breed or possibly a quarter if one of her grandparents were'. On the opposite side of the table were two bespectacled black-haired girls, One hair was shorter cut in a sort of bob like design that fit her face and violet eyes, the others hair was much longer and had heterochromatic eyes with her left eye being violet and her right being light brown. Damian guessed that the shorter haired girl was Sona while the longer haired girl was her queen Tsubaki. n
"Big Brother" the crimson haired girl cheered confirming Damian's theory.
"Rias, Akeno, Sona, Tsubaki there's someone I want you to meet" Sirzechs nodded towards Damian who waved. "This is Damian Anzil, I'd like for you all to be friends with him and help explain modern Devil culture to him. He's a noble but he's been through a lot recently so don't pester him about his past I'm sure he'll tell you when he's ready" Sirzechs smiled.
"Of course," Rias beamed quickly grabbing Damian's hand and pulling him into the room.
"Damian I'll come get you in a few hours" Sirzechs waved before walking away closing the door behind him.
"Are you sure it is wise to leave him alone with them, we barely know anything about him and what he's capable of. He could be a danger to Lady Rias" Grayfia said as they walked away.
"I think it will be fine…he's lost so much, what he needs now is someone to fill the gap left behind by his clan and a taste of vengeance. I plan to give him both" Sirzechs stated.
"You plan on adopting him into the Gremory Clan, and using him as your personal envoy" Grayfia concluded.
"You know me so well my dear, yes in a perfect world I'd like for our relationship to be purely mutually beneficial, but this isn't a perfect world. Everyday we discover a new assassination attempt or secret supporters or spies from the old Maou Faction. My while my position as Lucifer gives me the power and privilege I need to act in secret in many things, it also severely limits the actions I can take directly against my enemies." Sirzechs frowned.
"So, you just plan on using him as a pawn" Grayfia asked although her face remained impassive her voice hinted that she didn't like the idea.
"Of course not, you should know me better than that. While Damian is perfect in the sense that while he will become an adopted member of the Gremory Clan, his actual position as a Clan head makes his actions his own, I never plan to use him as a sacrificial piece. I hope that in time he will come to see our family as his own, but I don't think we will ever be able to replace everything he's loss." Sirzechs answered.
"What of Rizevim" Grayfia asked.
"Like I promised Damian earlier when we find him, he gets the first shot at ripping his head off" Sirzechs said seriously.
"You think he will be able to stand up to Rizevim, he's not known as a Super-Devil for nothing" Grayfia wondered about her husband's opinion on the matter. "A fight with Rizevim would be tough even for Sirzechs, unless he went all out.
"I'm not sure, I'm sure you can sense the vast amount of power dwelling inside him, if I had to guess right now he probably places at a mid or high level high class Devil. In a few years he will likely place in the Ultimate category, he may even have Maou Class potential." Sirzechs said seriously.
Grayfia's eyes widened she suspected that in time Damian would become at least as powerful as she was, but for him to have the potential to reach Maou Class was truly something beyond her expectations.
Sirzechs and Grayfia spent the next few hours talking and filling out paperwork with Zeoticus and Venelana concerning Damian and everything they knew about him and his past as well as the necessary forms regarding his adoption into the family. Sirzechs was grateful that his parents trusted his judgement in the matter and didn't pry any deeper than they needed to make sure that Rias would be safe around him.
When everything was finally said and done Sirzechs headed back towards Rias room as Grayfia went to officially file everything with the respective officials. Sirzechs smiled when from outside Rias door he could here laughter, slowly opened the door to see Damian walking on his hands and occasionally balancing on one hand or in a very impressive display one finger as the girls clapped and giggled at his display, occasionally trying to replicate his antics. "I see you four are getting along rather well, sorry to break this up but I need to speak with Damian for a minute" Sirzechs chuckled drawing everyone's attention to himself.
"Aww can't he stay a little longer" Rias pouted, Sirzechs noted that even Sona and Tsubaki looked a little disappointed at the thought of Damian leaving.
"Don't worry Rias Damian will be living here from now on so you will all have plenty of opportunities to play from now on" Sirzechs smiled. Damian nodded and said his goodbyes before joining Sirzechs at the door. After Sirzechs shut the door to Rias room he teleported them back to his office offering Damian one of the leather armchairs before taking his seat behind his desk.
"So, what do you think about Rias and her friends" Sirzechs asked.
"They are very nice and welcoming, they remind me of my younger sisters to be honest. Sona and Tsubaki are a bit more serious than Rias and Akeno but they seem to balance each other groups out well. Rias and Sona were very good at explaining a lot of the changes that Devil culture has undergone since I was put into to stasis and I'm very surprised at how knowledgeable Rias was about not only Devil Culture but also Human Culture particularly when it comes to anything Japanese" Damian answered.
"Yes, Rias as always been a very good study, and she's already requested to be able to attend a formal high-school in japan once she's older, perhaps you may want to accompany her when the time comes" Sirzechs mused.
"Perhaps…for now I'm more concerned about the reason why we are here" Damian's voice became serious.
"I figured you know this was for more than a friendly chat" Sirzechs reached into his desk and pulled out the file he'd been looking over a few days earlier and slid it across the desk to Damian. The young Lord opened the file and looked it over his face quickly twisting in disgust.
"If this is all true why haven't you dealt with this scum yet" Damian asked.
"My hands are tied in this matter despite everything Everett Cain is still a noble, and pure blood devil. As you can imagine after going through two wars Devil's took a significant blow to our more notable and powerful bloodlines. Pure Blood Devils have become quite valuable and we can Ill afford to lose any more bloodlines, at least that's the way the majority of the council see things" Sirzechs sighed.
"So, you want me to take care of him for you. As a Noble and a clan leader I would be above scrutiny by anyone other than the Maou's." Damian concluded.
"So long as you don't leave anything that traces back to you that is correct" Sirzechs nodded.
"Does this Everett Cain have any heir's that may cause issues" Damian asked.
"He has one legitimate daughter, and dozens of bastards running around. His daughter hates his guts given his habit of raping and mutilating women and his wife's mental state means she is of no threat, besides that everyone else that is involved with him can be eliminated without fear." Sirzechs informed.
"When do I start" Damian asked.
"I would not ask you to under take such a task until you've had more time to-"
"Can it be done tonight" Damian cut Sirzechs off. Sirzechs paused noting the feral look in Damian's eyes he nodded.
"Yes, it can be done tonight so long as you are confident, your abilities to complete the task. You will need to of course kill Everett and all of his associates without letting anyone who could point back to you escape with their lives. As for any peerage members he may have or women he may be holding hostage you can free them once Everett is dead, as his peerage pieces will be released from their contracts." Sirzechs informed.
"How will I get inside his territory" Damian asked.
"I can teleport you right outside of his family's borders, they have a barrier around their land that will let them know of any intruders, it's up to you on how you wish to proceed from there. Grayfia will be there to teleport you back once your mission has been completed" Sirzechs answered.
"Okay…I'm ready let's do it now" Damian stood. Sirzechs nodded and stretched out his right hand a crimson teleportation symbol appearing under Damian a second before he vanished.
"Was it wise to send him so soon" Grayfia asked stepping into the room a second after Damian vanished.
"There's only one way to find out, follow him but do not interfere unless its absolutely necessary" Sirzechs ordered. Grayfia nodded and vanish a second later.
"Scene change on the northern border of the Cain territory"
As soon as Damian reappeared on what looked to be a lush country side, he closed his eyes and reached out with his senses taking in everything around him down to the smallest lifeforms, even sensing Grayfia attempting to hide her presence with magic a short distance away from him. 'She was most likely sent to observe me and take action if necessary' Damian thought to himself. He didn't mind her presence, nor did he think less of Sirzechs for sending her to follow him, if anything he would take this as a chance to show off some of his skills.
Taking a deep breath Damian began to gather natural energy from the world around him in massive amounts using his will he absorbed the energy into his body merging it with his lifeforce and covering himself with a golden aura. He'd mastered Senjutsu and Touki at a young age even developing his own advance form of Touki and merging it with his family's unique magic. 'Ahh…I forgot how good this feels' Damian couldn't help but smirk as his entire body throbbed with power. He briefly considered activating his bloodline magic but decided to hold off, he didn't want to use any more power than needed to accomplish his mission. Having already sensed where he needed to go using his Senjutsu skills he quickly blurred away towards his goal using his enhanced speed.
'I-Impossible' Grayfia thought as she observed Damian's use of Senjutsu. She had seen a handful of powerful Senjutsu users in her time on the battlefield, but she'd never witness anyone able to gather energy so quickly. 'It seems he wasn't known as a prodigy for nothing' Grayfia followed using her Devil wings to take to the sky.
Damian couldn't help the excited feral growl that escaped his throat as he sprinted forward, despite being very talented with magic he'd always favored physical combat there was something about the feeling of his fist hitting flesh that made him feel alive. He could feel the muscles in his legs burn as his heart pounded the familiar buzz of adrenaline pushing his senses to a whole new level. With a grunt he leaped into the air his Touki causing him to easily sail over 50 yards in a single bound. He repeated the action several times enjoying the brief sensation of weightlessness it brought, also using the added height to quickly observer the land in front of him.
It didn't take him long to find himself skidding to a stop as his Senjutsu warned him of the barrier only a few feet in front of him. 'It's large but the spell work leaves much to be desired' Damian ignited his right hand in a golden flame like aura his nails elongating in claws before he slashed a large hole in the barrier and rushed through, making sure to push enough energy into the rip he made that it would stay open for a few minutes and allow Grayfia to enter behind him without forcing her to create her own opening.
Damian resumed his former speed until he was within eye sight of a large mansion. His pupils dilated into slits and his vision's precision and range increased, while he once again expanded his senses u sing Senjutsu. Damian sensed about a dozen auras with hostile or malicious intent with one being stronger than the others in terms of potency, he guessed that one was Everett. There were several others with neutral auras, one with an aura of regret and another with aura that appeared unstable, Damian figured the neutral auras were Everett's bastard children, the one with distaste was more than likely his daughter and heir and the unstable one was most likely his wife. 'So far everything adds up' Damian pushed his senses out further and nearly jumped out of his skin when he felt two powerful auras clash against his senses, they stood out against the auras around them like roaring fires in the dark.
'Two Senjutsu users and powerful ones at that, who could they be' Damian wondered. The two Senjutsu users were surrounded by several other dim auras. 'Must be were the hostages and peerage members are kept'. Damian weighed his options, while he could free the Senjutsu users and hope they could be of some aid, they could also be a hinderance if for some reason they were loyal to Cain. 'Better to accomplish the mission first and rescue possible allies later'. Damian decided.
With his priorities in order Damian decided he would end things quickly, according to the file Everett Cain had supported the Old Maou Faction and that alone, at least to Damian was enough to warrant his death. 'It is only right that he should die by the very power he helped nearly erase.' Damian reached for his family's magic, he figured everyone inside the mansion would sense it, but he would eliminate any threat before they could do anything about it. Black and Gold magical energy swirled around him violently. "Simba Kali" Damian uttered once the magic took form.
"Impressive" Grayfia marveled at Damian's new form. He now stood at 6 feet tall, his already well toned body had bulked up considerably and was now rippling with muscle, his hands now ended in razor sharp claws and his wrist had tuffs of black fur wrapped around them as did the back of his neck and around his collar bone. Black golden tipped ears now jutted out the top of his head and his golden eyes maintained their beast like appearance as did his elongated canines. A pair of golden dragon wings ripped through the clothing on his back and fluttered a few times before folding on themselves and remained still, and a serpent like tail seemed to be wrapped around his waist. 'I can sense that his power has increased, I wonder what the purpose of such a transformation is' Grayfia found her questioned being answered when Damian suddenly erupted in golden energy before vanishing from her sight completely. 'Such speed' even Grayfia struggled to follow the young teens movements.
'They know I'm here now…lets see what they're made of' Damian licked his fangs. He blurred forwards closing the 5-mile gap between the wood line he'd just been in and mansion in mere seconds. He arrived at the front door just as a man dressed in a black suite opened it. Damian guessed he was a guard trying to figure out where the eruption of magic had just come from. The poor bastard didn't even have time to react before Damian's claws found his throat tearing through the flesh with sickening ease. The man dropped to the floor death came instantly, Damian Senjutsu told him that one of the malicious aura had been extinguished and the others were quickly funneling towards him.
'Time for a slaughter' Damian flicked the blood off his claws like a knight would their sword to rid it of blood. Several more men in suites busted into the main entryway just in time to see Damian vanish his long braids hiding his eyes they only managed to see an evil smirk.
"Where the hell did he go" one man yelled.
"You idiots are so slow its painful" Damian growled. His claws tearing through two unsuspecting guard's legs as he lunged low. The two men fell to the ground screaming in agony. Damian quickly used his wings to propel him from his crouched position his right fist finding another man's chest the Senjutsu infused fist ruptured the man internal organs causing them to explode on impact.
"Take this you bastard" A guard quickly summoned a gray magical circle only for it to filter out as Damian's wrapped tail unraveled to reveal a cobra like end, the snake hissed once before lunging on its own accord and sinking its fangs into the mans throat. The man in question shook several times before dropping to the floor to join the growing pile of corpses.
"He's a monster" one of the guards screamed fearfully.
"That's not very nice..." Damian grinned as the cobra's head arched over his own fangs exposed and hissing. "Jiwe liwe" Damian mumbled once most of the still alive occupants of the room were looking directly at him causing the cobras eyes to flash brightly. When the light faded it revealed that everyone who had been looking at Damian was now frozen in stone. "Inapungua" Damian snapped his fingers causing the newly formed human sculptures to turn to dust. "Now what to do with you two" Damian turned his attention to the two men that were still holding the stumps of what used to be their legs. Walking over to the first one Damian reached down and picked him up by the collar. "I'm only gonna ask this once, where is Everett Cain" Damian growled.
"Fuck off" the man spat his saliva landing on Damian's left cheek.
"Wrong answer" Damian used his free claw to pierce the mans stomach slowly wrapping his hand around the now screaming man's entrails. "Burn" Damian ignited the hand that was buried in the squirming mans gut. The other man watch is terror as his former associate was slow roasted from the inside until he was just a pile of ash.
"Let's try this again" Damian glared down murderously at the last remaining guard who had literally pissed himself in fear. Before Damian got a chance to interrogate him however the mans body burst into sickly green flames.
"You were looking for me". Damian slowly turned to see a middle-aged man with oily slicked back mid-length brown hair and green eyes. He had average looks and build for a devil and mirrored the picture that Damian had seen of Everett.
"Ahh and here I thought I was going to have to drag you out of some hole" Damian grinned. In truth he had sensed the older man before he even entered the mansion.
"You come into my home…kill my guards and expect me to cower from you like some scared rodent. I don't who you are but you'll die here by my hand" Everett screamed two massive green magical circles appeared in front of each hand launching a powerful inferno of green flames. Damian's eyes widened as he was engulfed in the flames.
"Die, Die, Dieeeee" Everett screamed in delight as he continued to bathe the entire room in flames paying no mind to the destruction he causing to his own home. "Filthy peon, be turned to ash"
"Tell me something when you said I'd die by your hand did you mean-" Damian's voice echoed from inside the flames.
"Uggh" Everett screamed as his right hand was severed from his body.
"This one" Damian suddenly appeared above Everett his wings outstretched in his bloody right hand was Everett's own. "Or was it this one" Damian vanished again.
"I'll kill you" Everett swiped his remained hand surrounded himself in vortex of the hottest flames he was capable of creating. Damian increased the strength of his Touki and wrapped his wings around himself before walking through the flames. "H-how…who the hell are you" Everett's voice was quickly filled with fear.
"Wrath" Damian said simply before plunging both his hands into Everett's chest. With a feral growl Damian strained his muscles and ripped the older man in half showering himself in a fountain of blood. "You going to attack me or are you going to just keep hiding" Damian turned his glare to a statue of a knight in armor in the far corner of the room.
"So, you noticed me huh" A young woman with long curly brown hair and crimson eyes stepped from behind the statue.
"This your old man" Damian gestured to the pile of what was left of Everett.
"It was…you gonna kill me too" the young woman asked.
"I've killed everyone I needed to, I don't plan on killing you unless you want me to" Damian shook his claws clean. "Can't imagine you're too happy about what I did here"
"Can't say I'm excited about all the damage I'm going to have to repair, or the bodies I'm going to have to dispose of. You couldn't have handle this with a little less mess" the woman shook her head.
"That wouldn't have been as fun" Damian grinned.
"How scary" the young woman rolled her eyes. "I'm glad he's dead…he was a bastard so were his goons. I guess I should thank you for killing him before I was forced to. My name is Layla Cain former heir of Everett Cain and with his passing I am now the head of the Cain family. On behalf of myself and my house I thank you for removing this stain on our name" Layla bowed. "Is there any way I can repay you"
"There are two Senjutsu users being held here…I'll be taking them" Damian said before vanishing.
(Scene change northern tower Cain estate)
"It seems like whoever wielding that massive amount of Senjutsu just finished off that bastard" Kuroka cheered.
"Should we really be happy we don't know if he will help us or not" Shirone looked to her older twin. Despite being born just minutes apart the two Nekoshou twins seemed to be pure opposites. Kuroka was energetic, teasing, and optimistic she had long black hair, golden eyes, a very developed figure for a 13-year-old and usually freely showed her Nekomata traits. Shirone on the other hand was calm, reserved, and realistic, she had medium length pure white hair, golden eyes, and a more modest but still desirable figure at the moment she was also showing her Nekomata traits.
"Whoever they are, I've never felt anyone wield Senjutsu with such mastery." Kuroka licked her lips.
"They're here" Shirone suddenly perked up her ears and tails standing on end as she readied herself for a fight. Kuroka on the other hand just readjusted the rags that severed as their clothing in order to better show off her cleavage. Without warning the door to their cell was blown open neither sister changed their position as a figure approached through the dust that had been kicked up.
"Oh, how exotic" Kuroka purred as Damian walked into the cell still in the form he used to slaughter Cain and his minions.
"Dangerous looking" Shirone mumbled.
"Sorry this form can be rather intimidating" Damian allowed his magic to fade and returned to his normal form though his Touki stayed active.
"Mmm I like this look too" Kuroka placed her finger to her lips.
"Is she always like this" Damian asked raising an eyebrow.
"Big sis is a pervert" Shirone answered.
"Nya Shirone is so mean" Kuroka moaned sadly.
"Nekomata and twin sisters at that…no wonder I could sense you two so clearly. How long have you been held captive here" Damian asked.
"Six months…that bastard Cain tried to use us as his sex toys, but we were strong enough to fight him off. I guess he thought he could try to starve us out but in desperate times Nekoshou can live off the energy we gather through Senjutsu" Kuroka answered.
"Impressive…to be able to use Senjutsu in such a way." Damian complemented.
"It was what we had to do to survive…are you here to help us or are you just tying up loose ends" Shirone asked skeptically.
"Straight to the point, I like it. I want to you two to come with me…talented Senjutsu users are rare I hope that we can become allies…and friends" Damian said mimicking Sirzechs offer to him only hours earlier.
"What if we refuse" Shirone said still not letting her guard down. Her senses told her he was being genuine but being a master of Senjutsu he could be subtly influencing her without her knowledge.
"Than you're free to do as you wish…I will simply hope that we meet again" Damian said simply his golden eyes never leaving hers. Kuroka looked between the two it was almost as if they were communicating with each other silently. Finally, after almost a minute of staring at each other Shirone nodded and walked toward him outstretching her hand.
"Shirone" She introduced herself simply.
"Damian" he gently took her hand and Shirone blushed at the brief contact with his aura.
"I'm Kuroka nya" Kuroka purred offering her own hand.
"Pleasure to meet you…now we need to get out of here before anyone else shows up" Damian casted a teleportation circle onto the ground altering it to allow for the two Nekomata to travel as well.
(Scene change northern area outside of Cain territory.)
"I see you found me…you have company" Grayfia noted as Damian appeared with Kuroka and Shirone in tow.
"I've known where you were since I first began using Senjutsu…once you master it you can sense almost anyone within your range, even if they are as skill with hiding their presence as you are" Damian revealed.
"I see…well if you are ready let us leave" Grayfia said in her usual tone though she wasn't very happy at being found out so easily. She quickly teleported everyone back to the Gremory estate and began to escort them to Sirzechs private office inside the main estate.
"Damian that form you took earlier what was that" Kuroka asked curiously.
"Oh, that was my Family's magic…Chimera Magic. It allows members of the Anzil Clan to alter our bodies to take on multiple animalistic traits similar to chimera's from the Greek realm." Damian explained. "The form you saw earlier was known as Simba kali or 'Burning Lion' it's a combination of Neman Lion, Dragon, and Basilisk parts.
"Do you have any more forms" Shirone asked also curious about her rescuer.
"A few but that form is the best for utilizing Senjutsu techniques" Damian answered.
"It was indeed powerful…you seemed to enjoy using it" Grayfia said indirectly referring to his savagery.
"To take the form is to embody all the instinct of the beast" Damian remembered his father's words concerning their family's magic. "One can easily lose themselves to their own wrath and bloodlust if they aren't careful" Damian finished. "I control my instincts they do not control me".
Grayfia nodded seeing that Damian understood her concerns. "Lord Lucifer is waiting for you inside, I will take your guest and show them the bath as well as find them some acceptable clothing" Grayfia bowed and continued down the hallway only stopping when she noticed she wasn't being followed. Kuroka and Shirone hesitated, Damian figured that they only felt comfortable with him because they could sense his intentions because he constantly broadcasted them using his Senjutsu. Grayfia was talented enough to shield herself from all but a master and as talented as the two Nekomata were they were not masters, at least not yet.
"It's okay everyone here is nice, and you'll be safe. I'll make sure of it" Damian placed a hand on top of each of their heads petting them gently while easing their worries with Senjutsu. Both girls purred softly and slightly blushed before nodding and continuing with Grayfia. 'Cute' Damian couldn't help thinking watched them walk away. Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door to Sirzechs office without knocking and found the crimson haired Maou waiting for him expectantly.
"I already heard your mission was a resounding success" Sirzechs smirked.
"You don't have any issues with my methods or the two Nekoshou I brought back" Damian asked.
"While brutal they were effective, as for the Nekoshou I'm sure you will all benefit from each other's company. Three talented Senjutsu users, you may push each other to discover things about the art that many may have thought impossible. Are you planning on using them to start a peerage?" Sirzechs asked.
"If they want to join it they may, I do plan of creating a peerage regardless of their choice. The Evil Pieces system might be the only chance I have at restoring my Clan" Damian sighed heavily the weight of his situation beginning to weigh on him. While his father had been the former family head and he had been being groomed to be his successor, he had expected his father to remain the head of the family for a few centuries before he was handed the title. Now he was forced to take on the role with no support, so far, he was lucky since Sirzechs had rescued him and allowed him to continue his family's sworn duty of serving the Maou, but there were still dozens of things he needed to figure out. Sirzechs noticed the change in Damian's demeanor and decided to continue with the meeting, the faster they got it done the faster he could allow Damian to rest and recover.
"The mission didn't seem to faze you much, I assume Everett wasn't much trouble" Sirzechs asked.
"He did possess powerful fire magic, but I wasn't anything special, any Devil talented in elemental magic could have given him a run for his money. All he did was try to utilize it for brute force attacks, not a very good idea against someone who's mastered Touki. That combined with the dragon wings I possess in my Simba kali form and the late Lord Cain was of little concern. His daughter Layla was more than happy that he was dead, I'm sure she will be much more amendable to the new ways of Devil's than her father was" Damian reported.
"That's good to hear. While I am curious about your family's Chimera Magic, I'll save my questions for another day for now you should get some rest, you'll start formal lessons tomorrow along with Kuroka and Shirone, Rias and Akeno will attend them as well" Sirzechs smiled.
"Lessons" Damian frowned.
"Yes, you will need lessons not only on modern Devil society, but Human society as well as a few other things" Sirzechs chuckled at the forlorn expression on Damian's face. "Cheer up I let a surprise for you in your room, hopefully it will help to brighten your mood"
Damian got an uneasy feeling from the mischievous glint in Sirzechs eyes but decided he was too tired to care. He bid Sirzechs goodnight and teleported back to his room. He quickly stripped down to only a pair of boxers and his tank top, he was surprisingly tired for someone that spent nearly a century resting in stasis and figured it was more mental than it was physical. With a yawn Damian went to yank the covers back and frowned when they seemed to be stuck on one corner of the bed. Figuring the maids had just tucked the sheets in rather tight he yanked harder, this time the covers moved toward him nearly a foot before suddenly being yanked back. "The fuck" Damian adjusted his pupils into slits and saw two noticeable lumps in his bed. Using his heighten senses it was easy to figure out who had taken over his bed.
"Kuroka, Shirone what do you think your doing" Damian crossed his arms.
"Sleeping" Shirone tiredly mumbled.
"Feel free to join us nya" Kuroka said teasingly.
'Seriously this place is massive, and you had to put them in my room' Damian rolled his eyes as he could almost imagine Sirzechs chuckling at his situation.
"Fine…but keep your paws to yourself" Damian gave in.
"Okay" Shirone quickly agreed.
"I was talking more about Kuroka than you Shirone" Damian rolled his eyes as a pair of black ears twitched.
"Fine I'll behave" Kuroka said after a few seconds of Damian staring at her ears.
"Good now scoot over" Damian ordered climbing into the bed. As soon as he touched the sheet Kuroka lunged and grabbed him causing them to roll onto Shirone who tired to push them away only to get even more tangled. After a few minutes of shuffling around and finally getting Kuroka to calm down, Damian found himself in the middle of the two beauties. Shirone quickly fell asleep her breathing evening out as she began to snore lightly.
"Is there a reason your still up and staring at me" Damian asked half an hour after Shirone had already fallen asleep. He was laying flat on his back with his eyes closed but he could feel Kuroka's eyes boring into his side.
"I want to know why" Kuroka stated seriously.
"You're going to have to be a bit more specific" Damian opened his eyes and turned to look at Kuroka who's eyes promised a fight if his answers didn't satisfy her. "And here I thought Shirone was the skeptical one" Damian sighed aloud.
"I'm still the big sister it's my job to make sure she stays safe" Kuroka said seriously. "So, tell me…why rescue us, why bring us here, why sleep in the same bed despite the fact we could just be assassins waiting for you to drop you guard" Kuroka emphasized her point by quickly bring her hand to his throat. The tip of her claws rested against his adams apple.
"At first I was just curious about the two powerful Senjutsu users I sensed during my scan. I considered rescuing you before I confronted Everett and his men, but I decided I had no way of knowing who you were loyal to. I figured that once Cain was dead I have a better sense for were your loyalties would actually lie." Damian began never breaking eye contact. "Once I found your cell I became more confident you were being held against your will, the door was specifically designed to prevent brute force break outs using Senjutsu, though it was quite easy to break it down from the outside." Damian chuckled softly as such a half-assed containment method. "Once a saw you two dressed in rags I was sure that you held no loyalty to the man I had just killed. You even said that you were glad he was dead"
"I could've been lying to earn your trust" Kuroka interrupted.
"Then why not kill me now" Damian pressed his neck against her claws drawing blood. "When I saw you two were Youkai and Nekoshou at that I knew I had to save you…I wanted to protect you both" Damian admitted the intensity of his gaze increasing.
"W-why" Kuroka faltered slightly.
"Because…my mother was a Youkai. It's one of the reason I was so talented with using Senjutsu" Damian said softly.
"W-what…but that silver haired maid said that you were the head of your family's Clan. How could Devils ever allow a half-breed to become a Clan leader, when they value pure blood so much." Kuroka asked shocked.
"My Clan was a bit different than most, also as the last surviving member of my family, I kinda become the head by default" Damian chuckled sadly.
"Last surviving member…you mean" Kuroka's eyes widened in horror and she slowly retracted her nails.
"That's right, my family was completely eradicated during the civil war between the New Maou faction and the old…when I attempted to seek vengeance for my slaughtered family, I was defeated by the former Lucifer and put into a near hundred-year stasis in Tartarus. I only just woke up this morning and informed of everything that had changed." Damian grit his teeth struggling to keep various emotions from welling to the surface.
Kuroka couldn't stop herself from once again reaching out this time her hand was coated in a thin layer of Senjutsu energy. When her hand touched his chest, she was filled with a torrent of the emotions that were swirling through Damian. Agonizing sadness, loneliness, anger, hate, the sense of failure he felt at not being able to avenge his family, loathing at his own weakness, fury at the loss of the memories of some of those he held dear. Hot tears streamed down Kuroka's cheeks…it was true that their mother and father had died when they were both young but she and Shirone had always had each other, they had always been a family. Youkai were very sensitive about their family bounds more so than humans and even Devils. Damian being half Youkai and having his entire family being stripped away from him and being frozen in stasis without having an opportunity to properly mourn, Damian was struggling emotionally and mentally in the worse way possible.
Kuroka leaned her head against his chest, doing her best to help soothe him using Senjutsu. Damian was shocked when he also felt another hand and head pressed against his back. Shirone was also trying to ease his mind with her Senjutsu. Damian wasn't sure how long they spent like that it could've been hours or maybe minutes he wasn't sure. All he knew was that it helped.
"From threatening me, to crying for me, are all Nekoshou so emotional" Damian joked wiping away unshed tears.
"Us Youkai have to stick together Nya" Kuroka smiled playfully.
"Protect each other" Shirone nodded against his back.
"That's right" Damian agreed. "Well we should get some sleep we all have lessons tomorrow, and you to have training" Damian yawned rolling back over onto his back. The twin Nekoshou resting their heads on each of his shoulders.
"Training" Shirone questioned.
"You didn't think I was going to let you two get away with those mediocre Senjutsu skills did you" Damian shook his head.
"Don't be too rough with us Nya" Kuroka teased.
"We will work hard…Nya" Both Damian and Kuroka's eyes widened in shock at Shirone's cat like meow, but the white-haired girl quickly snuggled into Damian's shoulder and fell asleep. Kuroka yawned and followed her younger sisters lead, with Damian quickly falling asleep after.
AN: Okay so this is my first attempt at a High School DxD fic. First thing first this fanfiction will be centered around my O.C Damian as he discovers more about his lost memories and his active role in Devil Society as well as his interactions with Rias and her group. He will have his own peerage and absolutely is not a replacement for Issei who will appear next chapter after a time skip. While Damian and his peerage will assist Rias's and Sona's during certain cannon events taking on the role of mentors and increasing certain characters like Akeno and Issei's growth rates and powers. They will also have their own unique storyline that will deal primarily with the darker side of Devil Society. Things like political assassination, communicating secretly with members from other factions and religions while trying to secure more allies, and covertly hunting down members of the Old Maou Faction and their supporters. I plan for this to be a darker themed story which is why some characters will be OOC, and some characters and relationships will be changed around but not drastically. While I do admit my OC will be powerful, I will do my best to keep him out of the realm of being O.P and explain new abilities and characters as they appear in my notes at the end of every chapter.
