From adventurefan2020:

Oh man, another exciting chapter from you man. I can't wait to see what Asia has to say about sonic, I don't know if it is positive or negative but we shall see. I hope eventually rias trusts sonic and become friends with him but that's in the future I understand. Oh I have question for you: "Will sonic join the crew in their adventures like the wedding crashing or something. Or will he only be in certain parts in the story"?

P.S: I have not watched high school dxd in over two years, I stoped around season 2 episode 15 or something like that so I only know from season 1 so yeah, that's why I don't know much beyond that. Anyway dude, see ya later and stay safe out there.

Bakuganman: As said in the intro, Sonic will go up against Riser with the ORC in their Rating Game; which as shown in Knuckles' vision, is when she will finally have the undeniable proof to realize Sonic is in fact telling the truth. I don't wanna spoil anything else. A possible Anime Season 5 might be happening, which will be a first for animes' of this genre if it does. Plus the Light Novels are finally getting an official English release (took them long enough), so do catch up.

From Chaos Drago:

Another great chapter as always dude lmao. I this chapter and I love this skepticism that Rias has for Sonic lol. But it does makes me roll my eyes on how she can believe the stuff in their world happens but not in Sonic's world? she supposed to be smart. While yes they didn't have the best first impression on one another but for you not to even believe in some of the things Sonic did in his world is true? like the fuck Rias XD. (Note that I'm not upset with you making her like this which this is how Rias would act in all honesty.)

But anyways, I'm with the ranting and let's get on with the juicy stuff, the up coming arc. boi oh boi I can't wait for Sonic to show off his skills. But will Sonic use his abilities like Sonic Wind, and his blue tornado (idk know what it's called so bear with me XD) and etc. Also I'll absolutely love the interaction with Sonic and Asia. I'm pretty sure Asia will find Sonic to be adorable in her eyes XD. and I know Sonic will try his hardest to protect her, giving she'll remind him of a certain bunny we all know.

Alright that's it for me for I have to say for now, and I hope you keep up the amazing job buddy, but also say safe out there and stay clean.

Bakuganman: I have a couple of battle ideas on when Sonic could use Sonic Wind, though its not definitive yet. Speaking of Blue Tornado (yes, you got it right), there's actually a special reference to Sonic Heroes here. Can anyone find it? If not, I'll let ya know next chapter.

From G0dofParadox3s:

Well this chapter was something. Sonic explains his adventures and the Chaos Emeralds to the ORC. They overwhelmed by the information (Also noting Koneko's reaction about them.) Rias and Sonic butting heads with Sonic winning. Issei unlocked his Sacred Gear to save Sonic and Rias might be caring about our boys more then she lets on. Yeah this chapter has it all. Also about that fanfic were Raynare harms Sonic in his Super Form I don't think its around anymore I tried looking for and came up with nothing. Can't wait for the next chapter with arguably best wholesome girl Asia Yeah! Also looking forward to what other reference you can come up with.

Questions
1. Do you happen to watch Matpat's videos on Sonic to estimate his abilities?
2. Will Sonic fill Issei in on the info he missed when Kiba went to go get him?
3. Will Sonic's moniker as a Embodiment of Chaos apply to Issei as well because they seem to make the impossible possible and grabbing Orphis's attention earlier on in the story?
4. Will Tikal play a major role in the story?
5. Will we have a Chao Garden scene with the ORC and Vali Team meet Chao variant's of themselves?
6. When Eggman appears will he be more secretive in this or will make a over the top reveal to the DxD World?
7. Will Issei's harem still be the same as in canon or will you adding/removing some to it?
7.5. Will Issei have the human like girls Sonic has met like Shahra, Lah (Ghost Girl fron Night of the Werehog), Merlina, and Princess Elise possibly be included into his harem?

Bakuganman: She and him are gonna be butting heads allot more as time goes on, cause that's honestly how she would react if her authority is questioned and the one arguing with her refuses to back down. As for the questions...

1) Matpat: I have, though not as much anymore. The last one I watched was about Movie Sonic (or Teen Sonic in Sonic Dash) wasting time in the film if he did just run all the way to San Francisco via streets. It was an interesting take... though he conveniently forgot to add in the fact that over 70% of the Earth is water.

2) Sonic filling in Issei: He covers some in this chapter.

3) Ophis: Let's wait till the first Chaos Emerald is collected before I answer.

4) Tikal: This has already been indirectly answered.

5) Chao Garden, possibly variants of the ORC and Vali Team: Actually, the only Chao that was gonna make an appearance was Cheese. If I have enough leg room to squeeze this in, I might (credit will be given of course).

6) Will Eggman's appearance be secret or over-the-top?: Can't answer.

7) Issei's Harem: It'll remain the same. Funny you mention Shahra, Merlina and Elise though; the first two are mentioned in just a bit, and a special scene with Asia next chapter might give you flashbacks to 06's Sonic/Elise stages.

From Ssj4 (Chapter 1):

The story is good and all but I hope you don't do something stupid like girls falling in love with sonic having sex with him for two reasons first he's a fucking hedgehog if anything they will be wierdedbout at the thought of falling in love with him second his dick would be the size of a fucking pencil compared to humans or supernatural beings meaning it would be impossible for him to have sex if he became a human/ mobian hybrid then sure it would be possible but right now not so much and people who make fanfics about sonic having sex with girls have zero common sense

Bakuganman: As said in the AN before the fic actually starts, he will not be falling in love or turning into a human. The closest relationship Sonic is gonna get with them is close friendship. (Also, the pencil-size thing got a smile out of me.)

Chapter 12: Nun-more of this Nonsense

A few days ago...

Sonic had rushed back into the clubroom, the oak doors bursting open, with a bag strapped around his body. He appeared in front of the oak desk, with Rias looking up, surprised to see Sonic back already... honestly, she shouldn't be at this point. He had proven his speed time and time again. "Got anymore?" He asked, eager to go back and run, as that was his favorite thing to do apparently.

Rias was about to give him more when she realized... that was it. That was all the flyers they had for the day. "N-No. That's it" she said. She still couldn't believe it. A large portion of her work... done in seconds. The only thing left was to await for summonings. Thanks to Sonic, part of some weight was lifted off her shoulders. This actually started as a completion between them, but it eventually molded into Sonic ending up doing the job on his own. It was something else for him to do, and he didn't mind according to himself.

As long as he has somewhere to run, he's happy. His words, not her's.

Ever since he started helping her with deliveries, she began to look at Sonic differently. Thanks to his help, she got so much of her work done in record time. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all...

"Oh. Alright. I'll see ya later, then" said Sonic, turning to leave. This was how it usually went. He'd do the job, then Rias would want to be left alone to concentrate on her other duties. Just before he made a mad dash out of the room...

"... How do you do it?" Sonic stopped at Rias' sudden question, looking back around to face her. "Eh, do what?" Asked the Hedgehog, not totally understanding her question.

"I mean, how do you keep running around like that? Going from place-to-place nonstop?" Asked Rias, giving a bit more detail. She couldn't understand it. Sonic kept running around like he didn't have a care in the world despite being trapped here, and he was making a fuss about imaginary gems a while ago.

"Why shouldn't I? Why sit and wait for something to come to you, when you can get up and get it yourself?" Sonic said. Now as smart as Rias was, she looked at Sonic with a slightly puzzled face. What exactly did he mean by that?

"But don't you ever want to just sit down and relax? Maybe take things a bit slower?" She asked, choosing to not ask what Sonic meant in his earlier statement, nor try to figure it out. They were worlds apart for a reason it seemed, as his philosophy speech didn't make any sense to her.

"There's always time for that. People need to go out, see the world and what it has to offer. Might not be there tomorrow" Sonic said and this time, Rias did understand that. Nothing lasts forever. Not buildings, not places, not even Devils. Everything does eventually vanish sooner or later, and you might miss your chance to see and/or experience it. "And sure, some things can be taken slow but sometimes; you just gotta go fast... at least, that's my opinion" Sonic concluded.

Rias had to admit, Sonic was still an interesting character despite the story he made up about infinitely powerful stones. He had a much different outlook on life than most did, a unique one no less. It made her a bit jealous. He could do whatever he wanted, when he wanted. Yet she was bound by rules and regulations. "Easy for you too say..." said Rias, looking down at her desk, thinking about the shit she had to deal with and still is dealing with.

Sonic heard her tone, Rias got upset about something... was it something he said? "Hey!" He called out to her, making her look up at him. "If life tries to bring ya down, just keep moving forward!" He said.

Rias appreciated his words of encouragement, but she wouldn't give him the satisfaction. "Don't you have a human to go home too?" She smirked at him.

"Oh no, Issei might ground me! Gotta streak!" Sonic shot back at her, mockingly. As he dashed out of the room, Rias continued to smile then shook her head at Sonic's antics before going back to her work.

Yesterday...

Rias walked into the hall where the Great Satans had their meetings, which was around a large table. She was called in seemingly randomly, but had a pretty good idea why. Because of her 'speedy delivery', which has never been done before... at least, not without cheating or going against the system, which of course lead to severe consequences should that Devil get caught.

"Should" was actually an understatement. It was really a matter of when.

To put simply, Rias gotten so much done, it was the fastest in Devil history! The downside to that of course, was being called back to the Underworld to appear before the 4 Great Satans' themselves. Adding to that, she was also backed up, so to get them done as quickly as she did was a bit suspicious. While teleportation circles could be the answer, that still didn't explain how 4 Rookie Devils gotten all their deliveries delivered all over the world in less than a few days.

Teleportation, like any magic, uses energy. So unless Rias and the rest of her peerage found some kind of unlimited supply, it shouldn't be possible.

Upon entering, she bowed before the Satans' and took a seat. At the table sat Ajuka Beelzebub, Serafall Leviathan (who was also Sona's sister), Falbium Asmodeus and of course, Rias' brother himself: Sirzechs Lucifer. Ajuka was part of the Technology Department, and also the creator of the Evil Pieces. While he takes his job seriously, he normally prefers to tinker with his inventions; and had a good friendship with her brother, which is the only reason he became a Satan in the first place.

Actually, he sounded allot like that fox Sonic wouldn't stop talking about...

Serafall was the youngest of the Satans', and as such is still a kid a heart. In fact, Sona is much more mature than her, and she was the younger of the two. Despite this, Serafall is very compassionate, which tends to balance out the stress this kind of job can have. She's also in Foreign Affairs, so having this type of personality was pretty much a godsend. If she did know about Sonic, she would be the LAST person to go on a witch hunt.

On the contrary, she'd most likely welcome the Hedgehog with open arms.

Finally, there was Falbuim... what can she say? The guy was lazy. How he landed this job, let alone Military Affairs, was beyond her. He was somehow a master strategist, and had created a specific type of magic able to block any and all forms of attack (including light spears), then counter it with the strength of over 200 Elite Devils.

Was she nervous?... Yep, a bit. If they knew about Sonic, her position in Japan and possibly her career would be over. Seeing as her brother already did, it looked like her time in the human had come to an end...

"Rias Gremory?" Ajuka said in a dry tone. Rias only nodded. "Do you know why you were called here?" He asked, his tone still dry.

"AW, LEAVE THE GIRL ALONE!" Serafall sudden blurted out. "So she's been finishing handouts quicker, big deal! Don't we have bigger things to worry about, like when Falbi here finally stops sleeping during board meetings?" She continued, adding in a jab at her fellow Satan. "For once, I agree" yawned Falbium, not looking interested in the conversation or being here.

Ajuka ignored his two subordinates, and began asking Rias a series of questions. Did she send someone in her club to hand out the contracts? Did she go through the proper channels? Was she using a different outlet and/or type of magic? The last one was fine, Ajuka understood this was a tough job and some assistance was required sometimes, but it wouldn't have killed Rias to let them know.

As she was being basically interrogated; Sirzechs, while silent the whole time, flashed Rias a smile. If it wasn't already obvious, the other 3 Satans' clearly didn't know about her little blue secret.

She answered the only way she figured it'd get the Satans' off her back: "Well, as the future wife of such a powerful man, I felt it'd be best to prove myself" she said, which honestly perplexed Sirzechs. While it wasn't a secret she was was going to be married, it also wasn't a secret that she disagreed with that decision. In fact, she was VERY public about it. Did she really change her mind that easily, cause that didn't sound like the sister he grew up with.

It only took a few seconds for the Gremory brother to realize she was lying through her teeth due to that smile he knows all to-well, but the other Satans' seemed to buy it. "See? She's fine, she's honoring her family name by doing extra work. You boys worry way too much" said Serafall. "Yeah... can we go now?" Asked Falbium, not really wanting to be here anymore if this was nothing but a false alarm. AKA: a waste of time.

Ajuka eyed Rias for a moment. So she wanted to impress a man all of a sudden? The same man she publicly make clear she wanted nothing to do with?... Ajuka wasn't an idiot, he wasn't born yesterday. Was the arrangement good for the Devil world? Yes, of course it was... but that still wasn't enough to make her budge before, so what changed? There had to be something... something that would cause Rias Gremory to cave in and appear to finally accept the reality she so desperately tried to fight.

However, without proof, there was not much he could do. It was a strong hunch, but nothing he could take to court over. It was also a conflict of interest considering her brother was on the board as well, so even if he did accuse her of anything, it would not only be awkward, but he was sure Sirzechs would jump to his sisters defense in an instant regardless of whatever friendship they had.

"... Your dismissed. Next time, please let us know before pulling a stunt like that" he said to Rias after a moment of thinking.

Rias got up from her seat, and bowed in respect, while also mentally sighing in relief. She dodged a light spear with that one, she honestly didn't know if it was going to work. "Thank you, my apologies. I'll see myself out" she answered, turning to leave, but that's when she was spoken too again.

"While its good to see you come around, do try and take things a bit slower" said Ajuka. Rias responded to that the first thing that popped in her head: "Sometimes; you just gotta go fast."

Rias shocked herself. What made her say that? Sure it ended the conversation, but what caused her to respond that way? It was something Sonic said a few days ago... why the hell did she just repeat it?

After she left, the camera focuses on Sirzechs watching his sister leave. The moment she left the room and the door closed... "What is she up to?" Asked Ajuka, to which Sirzechs turned to his fellow Devil King.

"Rias? Up to something? Now why would I know anything about that?" Sirzechs answered, sounding amused. "That's exactly why asking" said Ajuka.

"She's always been the kind to make her own decisions. Even if they're... out of the blue. Now, if you'll excuse me" said Sirzechs, getting up and leaving through a teleportation spell. He had things to do himself, as did the rest of them. "Alright, if we're done, I'm going to visit Sona-chan" said Serafall, leaving in the same manner as Sirzechs did. Falbium did as well, but without a word, leaving Ajuka by himself. He sat there for awhile, thinking all the weird occurrences that had happened in the past few months.

First Loki gives a crazy speech about some world that apparently was never documented (the Norse God hasn't been seen since), then reports of a possible terrorist group, next was a mystery about stolen swords, and finally Rias of all Devils bending the knee to authority! This was the same girl who fought with them to be stationed in the human world for crying out loud!

Ajuka left the room himself, seeing as he wasn't gonna get any answers just sitting around. He'll have to ponder this later when he's done for the day.

Present day...

It was yet another morning, and Issei was walking to school with Sonic again. If it was up to the Hedgehog, he'd be out of this disguise and off running again, but he made a promise to keep things under the table. Besides, once Issei is safe at school, then Sonic could head out. It was a small sacrifice, but one that wasn't too big of an issue.

"So you almost blew up in a capsule in space, fought 6 people that are weak to conch shells, and Sacred Gear in your world are used for racing?" Issei asked, as he made conversation with Sonic as they walked. It was a nice way to pass the time, not to mention interesting to hear things that happened to the blue guy (though sometimes scary or silly depending on what story he decided to tell).

"Yes. Yes. And no, their called Extreme Gear... mainly boards with hot air" Sonic said, adding a joke at the end.

"So you can run faster than a Devil can fly, but need a hover board to beat some birds?" Issei roasted Sonic. "I-I-It was a different situation!" Sonic said, pretending to be hurt. It was a nice flex, Sonic wasn't gonna lie. Now that he thought about it, the last time he tangled Jet and the other Babylons was quite a while ago; though he did see Jet riding his Gear sometimes in his own world, often running into Eggman or Zazz randomly for some reason.

As Sonic continued to tell another story, this time about when he participated in championship matches, Issei went off in his own little world for a second, looking at his left hand that also carried his bag. He kept thinking back to what Rias said before they left the last time they were in that club, about Issei's power being able to destroy a large area. Could he even control such a thing? He was just a pervert barely getting by in school who also had weird things happen to him, why was he chosen to wield this power? He didn't think he could handle it despite it currently residing in his body. What if he and Sonic got caught again? What if what Rias said was true and he DID in fact lose it and wipe out an entire section of Japan?

"... then we escaped aboard the Lunar Fox after... Issei? Issei! Are you listening to me?" Sonic's voice snapped him out of it. "Oh, sorry bro, I..." Issei began to apologize, but looking at Sonic gave him an idea. "Hey... can you do me a huge favor after school?" He asked the Hedgehog. Sonic looked up at Issei. Aside from asking to be a bodyguard while walking to school, Issei never asked him for much.

"You want me to stay around campus?" Sonic asked. He didn't have a big problem with that, he could run around while everyone was in they're classes for an hour before they had to switch, then come out once the coast was clear. The property was big enough so it wouldn't get boring anytime soon. Heck, he might just stop off at the ORC clubhouse just for the hell of it! "Eh, no. After school" Issei answered, putting emphasis on the word 'after'.

"Need me to rush you home?" Sonic asked. "No" Issei repeated.

"Stop somewhere for lunch?"

"No."

"A trip to that shopping Arcade in the center of town?"

"No."

Sonic stopped walking, which also caused Issei to stop and look behind him. Sonic had crossed his arms, and frowned. "If it has anything to do with the girls locker room..." he began, but Issei cut him off. "NO!" He insisted, assuring Sonic there was nothing perverted about his upcoming request; not to say he hasn't thought about it once or twice...

"I was thinking, since I have superpowers now... eh, sort of," Issei said, looking at his left hand for a second, then back to Sonic. "I was wondering if... you'd help me learn to control it?" He finally let out.

Sonic was taken aback. That was a huge step for Issei to suddenly take. He just got this Sacred Gear, but he was taking responsibly for it. It was the opposite for Sonic, who ran away from the problem concerning his power before using it to face an even bigger problem head-on. Then again, Sonic was a very young kid at the time, and Issei was in his teens. Even more, he was asking Sonic to help him with such an endeavor.

"Ya know my power's in my feet, right?" Said Sonic, pointing down to his shoes with both hands. This was a valid point as Issei's new power manifested in his arm, while Sonic's came from his legs. "And wouldn't Rias be better to ask than me?" He continued.

Did Sonic want to help Issei? DUH! This is Sonic we're talking about! He frees animals out of capsules with giant red buttons for a living! Of course he'd want to help Issei! The issue was, he just wasn't sure if he could. He had very, VERY little experience with magic. Only borrowing a sample of it once from a genie in a ring, and again from 4 swords to calm down a grieving wizard. He also had this weird necklace that allowed him to summon a guitar out of thin air, but he lost that years ago...

Besides, pulling stuff out of nowhere from behind you was much more reliable.

"I know, but..." said Issei, but he couldn't finish. He didn't know what to think of Rias at the moment. Sure she was nice and all, and Sonic was right about her being the better person to seek advice from, but he figured it would've been a good way to bond with him. Also, he felt a bit intimidated around Rias. Probably because of her status as a Devil? Yeah, maybe.

Sonic saw Issei's expression, and it was pretty obvious to him why Issei acted this way. He wanted to prove himself, get stronger on the odd chance he wasn't around someone else's protection. He felt kinda guilty, so he stepped forward and put a hand on Issei's shoulder, which he had to reach up a bit because of their size difference. "Hey. I didn't say I wouldn't" he said, giving a smile. Who was he to tell Issei what to do anyway? If he wanted his help, he's got it.

Issei smiled in return. So Sonic will help him, that made him feel better. "Thanks, bro. I..." Issei said.

"WAAAAAAAAAH! OOF!"

They're bro-to-bro moment was interrupted by the sound of a girl screaming, though it was more of a surprise scream than a fear-fueled one...

And a pair of white panties in the air attached to a girls behind.

Issei was happy, giving a perverted smile; though unfortunately for him, Sonic's hand was in range of his ear. The Hedgehog, while overcome with shock at first from the out-of-nowhere arrival of this girl, recovered the second he saw Issei enter his perverted state out of the corner of his eye, and pull on his ear in response. Issei's immediate reaction was to yelp out in pain. Unlike last time, Sonic had no response. All he could say was Issei definitively needed training, for more reasons than one.

"Ooooooh... why did I trip? I'm such a klutz" moaned the girl, though her speech was a bit muffed by her clothes. She was wearing some kind of hood but for what reason, the boys had no idea why. They did hear what she said though, Sonic especially. At least some people in this dimension were self-aware...

The girl sat up and flipped her body over, revealing more of her clothing and appearance to the boys. She was a green-eyed, long blond haired young girl that wore a dark teal habit with light-blue accents; wearing a white veil over her head that also had accents of the same color. She had a silver cross necklace around her neck, with a noticeable bust (though big, it wasn't as large as Rias' and Akeno's), and wore brown boots.

She was a nun. And Issei had to gall to stare down there! Then again, it made Sonic no better since he saw them too...

...

...

What?! He heard a scream and looked in its direction like anyone would! Its not like he was trying too sneak a peak!

Sonic allowed Issei his freedom after holding for a few seconds, figuring he had enough, but he still pulled back the humans ear a bit before officially letting him go. Rubbing the ear after being released, Issei and Sonic made their way over to the fallen nun to help her. "H-Hey, you alright?" Issei asked. Believe it or not, he was the one to get to her and offer his hand to help her up first, though because Sonic wasn't trying to freak anyone else out with his otherworldly speed. He promised after all.

"Oh... yes. T-Thank you" said the nun, taking Issei's hand and pulling herself back up. As she did, her veil fell off her head from a sudden gust of wind, freeing her hair and showing her face to the light. Wow. Both Sonic and Issei couldn't deny this girl was cute. It was also around this point she and Issei realized they were still holding hands for longer than necessary. "Uh! Sorry!" Issei blurted out while retracting his hand away from her. Issei looked up at the sky, while the girl looked down at her feet, both clearly embarrassed at what had transpired in the last few seconds.

Sonic looked back and forth between them, then put a hand to his cheek while glancing at the reader. "Awk-waaaaaard."

For a few more seconds, nothing happened, only silence between the 3 of them. The girls hands were folded as if praying, and Issei had the hand he used to help her up on his neck. The wind then suddenly blew again, a bit harder this time, making the girls discarded veil go with it. She gasped, seeing her piece of fabric fly off. "I got it!" Said Sonic, dashing off after it. Literally. His glasses also fell off as a result.

"SONI-!" Issei warned him through clenched teeth with his arm outstretched and palm open, but the Hedgehog was already long gone. Issei used his eyes to look back at the girl, who was understandably now standing there with her mouth slightly open. Issei turned completely around to face her... what was he supposed to say?... What COULD he say?! Sonic just booked it right in front of her! How was he gonna justify a person dashing off faster than an airplane going to take off! "Uh..." he said, tapping his fingers against each other. "I can... totally explain."

Sonic caught the veil easily enough, then headed back down to where Issei and the nun were waiting. "Here ya go" he said, handing the veil back to the nun. She didn't take it, just stared at Sonic. "What? I don't bite" said Sonic, not catching on to the reason of the nun's hesitation. "Ahem!" Issei made a sound with his throat, getting Sonic's attention. It was at this point Sonic realized part of his disguise was removed, and what he had just done.

"AHH! OK! OK! D-D-DON'T FREAK OUT! I...!" Sonic frantically said, his hands up in defense, but was surprised to see the girl didn't act like Issei did when they first met. In fact, she looked fine now.

"Oh, its ok," said the girl, taking back the veil out of Sonic's hand and putting it back on. "Your both very sweet. Thank you very much" she finished with a smile after adjusting the veil so it fit perfectly on her head.

Sonic and Issei stared at her. This is NOT what either expected her reaction to be. She had just seen an alien Hedgehog, seen him run, and heard him talk... and all she could say was thank you? No screaming? No calling for help? No using that cross around her neck to repel Sonic (as if that would work anyway)? The girl then noticed she was now being stared at as if she was the strange one, which made her blush in embarrassment. Why were they doing that to her?

"Your uh... not scared?" Asked Issei. "Uh... no?" Said the nun.

"Not gonna run off? Maybe tell someone?" Asked Sonic. "No" the nun answered again. Sonic and Issei were honestly surprised. Of all people to snap at the sight of an alien, you'd think someone religious would be the first one. This wasn't the case for this woman, she was as calm as could be. "So your not gonna exorcise a 3 foot, 4 Hedgehog standing three feet from you?" Sonic had to ask.

"Not at all." Said the nun, then she blushed again while poking her index fingers together. "Actually... do either of you know where the local church is?" She added. "Oh? Your looking for the church?" Asked Issei. 'DUH! Of course she's looking for a church, idiot!' He thought to himself.

"Yeah... I'm new to the area and... well; I'm kinda lost" she explained, giggling after making that statement. She's been to the church a few times, but with someone else. This was the first time she went by herself.

"The church is back over that way. You must've missed the turn" Sonic said, pointing in the direction he and Issei were going, with the nun looking back in that direction, and Sonic's knowledge of the area catching Issei by surprise. "How did you...? Oh" he began, but then let it go. Sonic. Running. He got the picture.

Issei took his phone out of his pocket to check the time before putting it back in. They had one hour before school started, and it wasn't that far of a walk to the towns church anyway. At the same time, Sonic happened to look to the side, and noticed a suitcase on the sidewalk had opened up, its contents all over the path. It wasn't Issei's, and it definitely wasn't his. Must have been the nun's belongings, and she had dropped them during her "trip".

"If you want, we could walk you there" said Issei. There were a few reasons he was doing this:

One) Because this girl was hot. Totally his type.

Two) He would have offered anyway.

And Three) She wasn't afraid of Sonic, so it was a nice change of pace from hiding his existence.

"Oh, thank you! That would be great, let me just..." She said, thanking Issei for the offer and went to pick up her stuff, only for another wind to blow. She was prepared this time, and held onto her veil as it blew in the breeze. After it was over, Sonic was standing in front of her, her suitcase in hand... did he pick up all of her stuff that fast? Cause there was nothing left of her stuff on the sidewalk anymore. She took her belongings with a smile, with Sonic giving a smirk and thumbs up.

"Showoff..." muttered Issei.

POV - Rias:

Meanwhile at the ORC clubhouse, Rias was shown with books and even a few scrolls around her desk and on the floor around her desk. She's been here all night and even with all the information she could find, even pulling a few strings by using her family name, she couldn't figure it out! It didn't make sense. She also got ahold of private documents that normally aren't available to the general public, and even those barely helped!

No, it wasn't about contracts this time. They were records of allot of different things, including some info on different worlds and dimensions. So were fact, some were theory; but she couldn't find anything about Sonic's world at all. The closest she got were Youkai, but Sonic clearly wasn't one, so those records were a waste of time. Didn't stop her from looking, as they might contain at least something of value... of all the good that did. Nothing about Mobius, the creatures in it, those blob-like Familiars or Imps with green necklaces and of course, nothing about Chaos Emeralds.

Nothing. Not one thing.

Rias held her head with both hands... this was too much for her. She had a human with a Sacred Gear that had Fallen try to kill him, an alien lost in her world; and to top it all off, she had the wedding coming up! Here she was, researching about something and somewhere that shouldn't exist, only to come up empty handed.

Actually, there was one place she could try. In the Underworld library, there was a section of the building cut off from the rest of the public. And by cut of, she means locked by magic so powerful, it takes all 4 Satans' to unlock it. There have been a few supernaturals that have tried breaking in, some on par with the Devil Kings, but what they didn't realize was the seal wasn't just powerful; it was also sealed akin to being password protected.

Your probably thinking she could just ask her brother to have him and the other Devils open it, but it doesn't work that way. In order for the seal to be released, all 4 Devils must be in agreement, meaning even if just one doesn't see eye-to-eye with the rest of them, then the trip would be pretty much pointless. And even if it wasn't, what was she gonna say? She needed a good reason to have the Satans' take the time out of their day to perform such a task; and she knew none of them would believe an alien needed to find a way home, let alone his mystical stones.

As Rias sat there, holding her head, she thought maybe she should take Sona's advice. Perhaps she should take a day or two off...

"Your still here?" Asked a female voice. Looking up, Rias saw Akeno in the doorway. She must have just walked in. "Were you here all night?" She asked again.

"I couldn't find anything. Nothing about his home at all. I don't know how we're supposed to send him back" said Rias, indirectly answering Akeno's question. She then stood up, holding herself up by using her desk. She was more tired than she thought. "Maybe Sona's right... Akeno? You mind getting in touch with her, tell her I got the flu" she asked Akeno. "And also, can you help me clean this up?" She continued. She'd normally do it herself, but was too tired right now. She'll take the rest of the school day off, get some well-deserved rest, then return afterwards. Not like she had much to do today anyway, since a certain someone did most of the work for her...

Akeno cocked her head in confusion, but agreed to get ahold of Sona and ask her to write Rias a pass for the day. She assisted Rias in the cleaning up, then the Crimson Devil vanished in a glyph while Akeno left the club. School was starting in about an hour anyway.

POV - Sonic and Issei:

Back with Issei, Sonic (now re-disguised) and the nun; they walked beside her as they escorted her to the local church. Sonic was on her right, Issei was on her left. Both boys still couldn't believe how calm she was around them, they must have gotten lucky running into someone like her, cause the average person would never have been as coolheaded about it. As they walked, they were in at another park, only this one had no fountain.

"Huh. No watering hole; that's a first" joked the Hedgehog, which got a giggle out of the nun. She knew what he was talking about, as this town had an odd fascination with fountains that you couldn't help but find one wherever you went.

"So, are you a tourist or something?" Asked Issei. "No, not really. I was appointed to this town a few weeks ago. I'm glad I ran into nice people like you both" said the nun, blushing a bit as she spoke. 'Alright. I gotta keep this conversation going' thought Issei. "So, the weather's nice today..." Issei said; but that caused Sonic to snort, then immediately start laughing.

"Hahahahaha! You sound like my Uncle Chuck! Hahahahaha!" Sonic said, holding his stomach and pointing at Issei. The nun giggled as well, but mainly because she found Sonic's laughter both cute and contagious. 'Great. I sound like an aliens Uncle, AND my grandmother' Issei mentally kicked himself.

"You want me to run to the store while we're at it? Pick up some cookie mix next? Hahahahaha!" Sonic continued, with the nun still following his lead. "That's not funny!" Issei said. After Sonic and the nun recovered, he spoke to her. "So, I gotta ask... your really not scared of me? Like at all?" He asked. "No. Why should I? You both helped me and even if you didn't, we're all Gods children" said the nun, looking at the Hedgehog.

"Its just uh... I kinda expected the opposite. I mean, not everyday you see a talking hedgehog, right? Ya got over it pretty quickly" Sonic said. "I'm still trying to get over it" Issei grumbled, semi-joking.

"Not for me" said the nun as they kept walking. It took 2 seconds for the boys to register what she just said, and stopped dead in their tracks, while the nun kept walking. She then noticed neither boy was on the sides of her anymore, and turned around to see them in some kind of trace. "Hmm? What's the matter?" She asked them, but didn't get an immediate response.

Sonic dashed right in front of her, shocking her a bit since she wasn't expecting. "I'm sorry, can you repeat that?" Sonic asked pointing to his ear while making a few circles at it using his wrist. He and Issei didn't just hear her say what they think she just said... did she?

"... We're all Gods children?" The nun asked. "No, no, no. After that" Sonic said, waving his hand in dismissal. It took a few seconds for the nun to realize what Sonic was talking about. "Oh! I'm sorry, I meant that your not the first Hedgehog I've seen" she clarified.

It was at this point Issei joined in, quickly stepping forward to get back to the group. "WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!... Your serious?" He asked, hoping he wasn't daydreaming. The nun nodded. "Not a regular hog, but someone like HIM?!" Issei asked again, clarifying what he was saying by using both arms to gesture to Sonic.

The nun nodded again. "Uh-huh. It was a long time ago when I was younger. I found the poor thing beaten, so I helped it... then he just got up and took off" she explained. Both Issei and Sonic stared at her. For Issei, the insanity continued! First Sonic popped outta nowhere, NOW ANOTHER HEDGEHOG?! A MOBIAN POSSIBLY?!

For Sonic, this was both good and bad news. The good news was, at least he wasn't the only Mobian here; it would also be another piece of evidence to present to Rias should they find him. The bad news is, this other Hedgehog was most likely trapped here like he was, since the nun claimed it was several years ago this occurred. There was only a few people this could be, so Sonic's next question was:

"What color was this Hedgehog?"

Before the nun could answer, all 3 of them heard the sound of crying. It was a young boy, who looked to be half their age (no older than 9 at the very least), that was on the floor. He was sitting up, but he had a scrape on his knee. While it didn't appear to be a serious injury, it still looked painful, the poor kid. Sonic's thought was he could run back to the house and get a band-aid, it would take less than 2 seconds anyway, but the nun ran over to the crying child.

"There, there. No need to cry, hold still" she said. What she did next baffled them...

Firstly, where did those silver rings come from? She wasn't wearing them before, and she didn't go into her bag to get any... while on that subject, Sonic didn't pick up a single ring when she dropped her luggage earlier. Secondly, her hands took on a green glow, and the skin on the boys knee began to close over the wound!

"His... knee..." Sonic said. "Is she... healing it?" Issei asked. All of a sudden, he felt a pain in his left hand, cringing because of it. He held it with his other hand, and Sonic looked at him, hearing him grunt.

The glow disappeared, and so did those rings on the nuns middle fingers. The pain Issei had also vanished the second the nun's rings did. Sonic and Issei were confused. What was that all about? "See? All better! You'll be fine!" Said the nun, happily. The young boy was just as confused as Sonic and Issei were. "Sorry. Force of habit" she said when looking back to her escorts.

The question of the other Hedgehog was forgotten and never answered, mainly due to the surprise of the nun's power.

Some minutes later, they left the park and made another right turn, heading down the street. Issei wondered why his hand hurt the moment the nun did some magic shit, but then disappeared as soon as she stopped. "Sorry if I startled you both. I couldn't help myself. You both must be surprised, huh?" The nun asked.

"Kinda; though I have an alien living under my roof until he can go home" Issei said. While the nun's power did surprise him, its small compared to what he's seen this week. "That's one way past cool power ya got there" complimented Sonic.

"Thanks. Its something I was born with, a gift and a blessing" said the nun, smiling. She also sensed the irony. She assumed they'd be scared of her power, when they thought she'd be scared of Sonic. If only the others were understanding of her power as these boys were... "Ah! There it is!" She said, beaming at something ahead. In the distance was the towns church, sitting on a hilltop.

"See? Even aliens know where they're going" Sonic said, slyly. "So what do ya want, treat?" Issei joked.

"Hmm... a Happy Meal" Sonic said. "Wait. You have a McDonald's in your world?" Asked Issei, not expecting Sonic to know what that was. "Yeah!... Does yours still sell cheap handheld sports games?" Sonic asked, now liking the idea of a Happy Meal and considering getting one.

"Let me thank you both properly; would you both come up with me?" Asked the nun. She had to thank them for their help someone, seeing as one of them was from another dimension, and the other most likely had school like the rest of the kids in this town. She mentally prayed they would, she enjoyed the time they spent together, and wanted to stay with them a little longer. Of course, if they had to leave, she'd understand, though would still feel disappointed.

Issei glanced at his phone again. The trip only took 7 minutes, and it would take another 6 to reach the church itself. That left them with 47 minutes before school started. It sounded like plenty of time to spare and even if they run late, Issei had a free ticket on the little blue train. "Yeah... we got time" said Issei, feeling a bit shy himself. He wasn't too religious, but its not like going to a church would kill him, right?

Also, he figured he'd keep his lewdness in check.

"Why not?" Shrugged Sonic, also agreeing to go. The nun beamed at them, feeling excited and warm inside at the thought of them joining her. Taking their positions again, they walked up the path to the holy grounds. "Thanks again for coming with me, I'm Asia Argento by the way" said the nun, formally introducing herself.

"Asia, huh? My name's Issei Hyoudou" said Issei. "Sonic. That's the name, speeds the game" said Sonic, then did a dash back and forth to show this before ending back up beside Asia. He mainly did this to get a reaction out of Issei, and a reaction he got.

"Can you PLEASE not do that! You almost gave me a heart attack earlier!" Said Issei. He thought he was gonna faint when Asia saw what Sonic could do when he went after her hood. "Come ooooooooon! Don't be such a party popper" said Sonic.

Issei: I don't need someone seeing you... again!

Sonic: No one's gonna see me out here...

Issei: She already did!

Sonic: So? We're by ourselves.

Issei: That's not the point! You promised!

Sonic: (Pulls both his ears up) You see these ears? (Lets ears go) I'll hear'em before they see me.

Issei: (Sarcastic) Whatever you say, Mickey Mouse. Just cut it out.

Sonic playfully antagonized Issei further, by darting off in a blur and popping up in random spots with a different pose each time. First he laid alongside the property wall, holding his head up with an elbow and his other arm dangling off. The second time, he was sitting on a roof nearby, swinging his feet with one in front of the other. The third time, he leaned against a street post with his arms folded. The fourth time, he sat under a tree, laying back on it with his hands behind his head.

Issei: WILL YOU KNOCK IT OFF?

Asia giggled at the boys' antics, even as Sonic continued a few more times before finally having enough and walked normally, much to Issei's relief. She was glad she met them when she did. Maybe it was fate she fell over herself, so she could run into them? Whatever the case, this sounded like the start of a beautiful friendship.

After finally getting to the church, they all heard singing coming from inside. It sounded beautiful, more so once they entered the building and the muffled sound of the singing got louder. While there was no priest at the altar or anything, there were plenty of other men and women in robes sitting or standing while singing along with whatever song they were singing. In fact; none of them noticed Asia, Sonic or Issei enter.

"Huh... reminds me of this melody me and my friends would play at old ruins" commented Sonic, impressed at the sound of the music the other people were making as they walked down the aisle.

"The hel- *ahem*, heck would you do that?" Asked Issei, stopping himself from swearing. Sure he wasn't very religious, but he knew he'd better show a little respect. When he was younger, one of his childhood friends and his parents would invite him to go with them all the time, and the pervert found it annoying as time went on. He still showed respect when he did go however, no matter how badly he just wanted to leave. Speaking of his old friend, he moved anyway years ago. Irina Shidou was his name. He was a great kid, he'd even be ecstatic to meet Sonic. Issei wondered what Irina was up to nowadays.

"For a prize... sometimes a lost Chao" said Sonic. "A what?" Issei asked him.

"Over here" said Asia, walking to the left of the altar and down on the other side of the wall was a door. Must be a private room or something. Upon entering this room, it was a small space, only a few square inches shorter than the main office of the ORC. There was a pair of closet doors on the side wall (probably holding more robes), a table in the middle of the room surrounded by zabutons, a tall box labeled 'poor', a silver tank with a dispensing spout in a corner labeled 'holy water', and shelves filled with baskets and other items.

Asia had them both sit down while she went to a small corner in the corner. Issei put his bag down next to him and sat on the zabuton like you were supposed to, which was on your knees. Sonic however, sat crisscrossed. "Sonic!" Issei snapped at Sonic in a whisper. "What?" He asked with the same volume.

"Sit!"

"I am sitting."

"On your knees!"

"What's the difference?"

Before Issei could reprimand Sonic further, Asia walked back over with a tray that held tea in cups for them. After putting it down, she took her own seat, also appearing to not have a problem with Sonic's position. She understood of course. He wasn't from her world, so she didn't hold it against him. "I made you both some tea, hope you like it" she said, offering them the refreshment. Both boys took a cup and drank a sip from them. "How is it?" She asked, wondering what they thought.

Sonic was first to respond. "Mmmmm! Mondo flavor! Akeno's got some serious competition!" He said. "Fo' sho'; its awesome" Issei added.

Asia smiled at this. She was glad they both liked it. "Your both welcome!" She said. She also wondered who Akeno was, but figured she must be a friend to them. The three of them spent time in that room together, even after the singing from outside had stopped. They didn't know how long they continued to talk to each other, but it all ended when they heard the door begin to open. A man in robes walked inside.

"Asia? Who are these people?" Asked the man, questioning why Asia was back here, and also why she had company. It wasn't a broken rule or anything, but this was a private room.

Asia looked freaked out, not expecting someone to enter, as this room was barely used at all except as a break room during and after masses. "Um... I... they... we..." she stuttered, not able to think of a response. Luckily for her, a certain Hedgehog thought quickly.

"She was just showing us around. We got lost and she offered us some tea before we head out. Right, Asia?" Sonic said, giving the perfect excuse, and winking at her. It took a moment for her to realize what he did for her and while she felt bad about lying, it wasn't her that started it, right? Technically, Sonic was the liar in this instance.

"Yeah. We accidentally bumped into her on our way to school, and helped pick up her stuff we dropped" Issei added in, joining in on the little blue lie.

"Uh... yes! We ran into each other on my way over here and... I offered them to show them around. I'm sorry, I should've told someone" said Asia.

The man just stare at the kids, appearing to think their story over. "... Well, alright. But don't stay here too long; you've been selected to assist Freed later tonight." He said and with that, he went to the shelves to get a basket, then exited the room and closed the door behind him.

Issei checked his phone. They killed allot of time, he had 10 minutes to get to school now. "Well, I guess we gotta get going" he said, putting his phone back in his pocket and picking up his bag he had set down earlier. "Oh... alright..." Asia said, sadly. She didn't want them to go now, but knew she couldn't keep them either. "Meeting you both was a blessing. If your ever in the neighborhood again, come visit me here at the church, ok?" She asked them, getting her spirits back up.

"I'll take ya up on that. I'm always running around anyway" Sonic said. "Uh, sure... no problem" said Issei, feeling bashful. What can he say? Asia was a cute girl, he couldn't help it.

Asia walked them out to the churches main door. "Bye! Thanks again for everything!" She thanked them one final time as they left. "We'll be seeing ya" said Sonic, giving her a two-finger salute. "Yeah, later" said Issei. As he and Sonic finally began leaving, Issei happened to look back. Asia was waving to them with closed eyes.

She was such a sweet girl, probably the nicest Issei had ever seen. Both he and Sonic wondered if they would run into her again someday...
