19 A Nun in a Raven's Nest pt2

Alduin didn't like the feeling when he went out for a walk in the evening. He decided to check if his brother had any trouble with cultists, and tried to sense his brother's soul, which was partially related to him.

This was how he found burial mounds of the dragons in the past. Concentrating, Alduin felt almost two dozen souls that had something in common with his own soul, but they were all far away.

All except one, which was a few hundred meters away from him and where the flame of life was slowly fading.

"Meyus zeymah!" ("stupid brother!") Alduin roared and ran in the direction of that soul.

Jumping onto the nearest roof and using the Unrelenting Force Shout, Alduin reached the house where he felt his brother's fading soul in a few jumps.

"A demon cannot be good. I was ordered not to cause any harm to you until tomorrow's ceremony, but you will receive a little lesson after this demon dies. Get out of the way!" Alduin heard as he flew into the house, followed by a weak female scream. Rushing into the room where the sounds were coming from, he saw some fool dressed like a priest, pointing a gun at his wounded brother. Alduin felt energy from the gun similar to the echo of Stendarr's blessing, and for Daedra worshippers, it was more dangerous than just a weapon.

"Hands off my brother!" Alduin roared, sending the guy with the gun flying into the wall with a punch to the jaw.

"Wou tfe fel awe u?" muttered the guy in priestly clothing, pointing the gun at Alduin.

"I suggest you to leave!" Alduin growled, clenching his fist, which began to be covered in black scales.

"I will wetuwn!" muttered the priest, and disappeared in a flash of light.

"Issei-san!" exclaimed the nun, whom Alduin recognized as the blonde girl Issei had been eyeing recently. The nun tried to approach Issei, but Alduin prevented her attempts.

"Stop!" he barked, and the nun stopped in fear.

"Tatsumi, she can help" wheezed Issei.

"I can too" grunted Alduin, directing his fist towards Issei.

Alduin's clenched fist was surrounded by a golden glow, and when he opened it, the room was illuminated by a golden light. The black scales on Alduin's hand disappeared, returning his hand to its normal state, Issei and the nun looked at him in awe.

They were even more amazed when they saw Issei's wounds heal before their eyes.

"Since when you can do that?!" Issei asked, almost trance-like, examining the leg that Fried had shot him in.

"It doesn't matter. We're leaving" Alduin replied, picking Issei up off the floor. But then the room was lit up by a red light, and a complex pentagram, similar to the one Alduin had seen on Issei's leaflets, appeared in the air in front of Issei.

Kiba Yuto, whom all the girls in the school swooned over, his classmate Koneko Toujo, and two third-year students whom he called the "Cows of the Kuoh Academy" - Akeno Himejima and Rias Gremory - came out of the pentagram.

Of all four, only Gremory possessed a full demon aura.

"Here comes the sect. But why?" Alduin thought to himself.

"Ara, isn't this a nun? What happened here?" Akeno asked.

"President.." Issei started to talk, but Alduin pulled him back.

"They could be enemies" he tell his brother.

"Who are you?" Rias Gremory asked, frowning.

"Hyodo Tatsumi, we've met before. Let's go, bro, you need to rest. And you, demon cows, can go to hell. Ask this piece of meat for directions" Alduin said, pointing to the host's body.

"Issei will come with us" Rias Gremory said confidently.

"Tatsumi, I need to..."

"Issei won't go anywhere with you, little cow, so get lost, preferably straight into the goat's anus. And you, fool, go home and recover from your wounds" Alduin replied to his brother, and Kiba drew a sword.

"No one talks to the President like that! Let go Issei immediately!" Kiba threatened.

"And what if I don't?" Alduin raised his eyebrow in surprise.

"Yuto" Rias Gremory commanded, and Kiba rushed towards Alduin, who was still holding onto Issei.

"Fus!" Alduin whispered, just as Kiba took a step. The effect was the same as when Alduin scattered the Nords: two cultists and a pair of demons crumbled to the ground like bowling pins knocked down by a whirlwind.

"President! Tatsumi, they're not enemies!"

"Enough, let's g..." Alduin didn't finish his sentence as he sharply pushed Issei aside and leapt away himself.

A violet portal appeared next to the nun, from which a woman with long blue hair and a tight jacket paired with a mini-skirt, and a pair of black wings behind her, emerged.

Alduin felt the demons by the wall tense up and saw Issei boiling with anger.

"We are leaving, Asia" she said, grabbing the nun by the shoulder and dragging her into the portal. "Asia!" Issei shouted, and ran after them, but Alduin stopped him, grabbing his brother by the collar.

Meanwhile, the woman with the wings calmly dragged the nun into the portal, which closed behind them.

"What the hell are you doing, Tatsumi?" Issei yelled, breaking free from his brother's grip.

"I'm saving your sorry ass, you idiot. Now explain to me, what kind of shit did you get yourself into that you got shot in the leg with a blessed bullet on top of everything? With your nature, only blessed bullets can take you down and you decided to catch one. And I thought, for some reason, that you were smarter than that. Has your brain completely melted from looking at that redheaded cow's udders?" Alduin asked calmly, which greatly upset Issei.

"No one..." Kiba started, approaching Alduin and preparing to strike him with the flat side of his blade.

"I'm not talking to you" Alduin said without looking, hitting Kiba and sending him flying towards Koneko.

POV Rias Gremory.

"Do not interfere, Akeno"

I gritted my teeth, telling my queen as I watched my pawn brother, a mere mortal, scatter my pieces like rag dolls for the second time.

"It's a shame that Sona has already claimed you. And I didn't even suspect that he was that powerful. Rude and unrestrained, but strong" I thought, biting my lip.

"You think our mother want's you dead?" Hyodo Tatsumi asked in a cold voice, causing Issei to curl up into a ball.

"Um, Hyodo-san, I rushed here to help as soon as I felt Issei was in danger" I tried to calm Issei's brother.

"And you, dremora, shut your mouth. Your little cult almost lost its member. And I repeat - I am talking to my brother, not to you" Hyodo Tatsumi replied to me.

"What is a 'dremora'? And why is he calling Issei a cultist?" I thought.

Issei, in the meantime, took advantage of the break in his brother's speech and tried to steer him away from discussing the attack on him.

"Tatsumi!" Issei exclaimed as his brother grabbed him by the shirt collar and dragged him out.
