8 battle against the fallen, issei unlocks boosted gear

it's been two weeks since the sparing match.

I have improved quite a lot now my battle power in base form is 60020. and my ki control has increased a lot as well.

during this time I have visited Sona, rias and their peerage couple of times. I have become friends with everyone as well.

Rias kept asking me to join her peerage which I refused everytime.

Now I was sitting in the clubroom watching as rias was ratting Issei to forget about Asia and to not do anything reckless.

yes everything gone like canon.

Issei met Asia 3 days ago and they had their date today in the arcade.

Issei will now charge forward without thinking about anything.and that will be my que to help him.

suddenly akeno came and whispers something to rias after which she look relieved a bit.

rias then says about the ability the pawns have to promote into any piece giving the hint to go and rescue her. but obviously he didn't follow her.

rias came to me and whispered to help Issei when I nodded in approval.

rias and akeno then left to go prepare for the infiltration.

Issei was depressed but determined to help asia. Issei was about to leave alone when I called him.

..Issei do you really want to protect her even if you have to risk your life...

....Asia is worth it she is very innocent she deserves happiness and if I have to risk my life to get it I will do it...

...very well I will go as well...

...huh why would you risk your life for something like this even rias denied help...

...I am your friend am I not and she didn't denied your help why do you think she told you about the promotion thing...

.... really...

...yep...

thaat is when kiba and koneko added their 2 cents as well.

kiba..

...I will go too..

koneko

...me too...

... ok let's go guys let them show who is the boss here...

Issei..

thanks guys I really appreciate it.

Neel...

Issei..

that's a promise...

Neel...

let's hurry we have to save a friend today..

issei..

yeah let's go...

meanwhile with rias and akeno they already arrived at the church and were in the battle with three fallen angels.

we arrived at the church. there were about 200 excorcist outside the church so I said..

..Issei I will handle the exorcist here you guys go and save Asia...

..are you sure there are many of them..

..I can handle now you go...

I flew towards the excorcist their bp were around 30 to 40 so with the help of ki blast I started killing them one by one and gave opening for Issei and co. to go inside the church.

ISSEI'S POV

we went inside the church.

The sound of clapping pulled me from my thoughts, looking for the source I saw Freed walk into my line of sight. "So, we meet again glad you could make it." He smiled at us. "I bet I am a sight for sore eyes on huh?"

"Yeah right sicko, now what do you want?" I asked with a frown.

"Here's the thing I pride myself on the fact that I never have to battle any devil more than once, and yet you here are just rubbing it in. If there is one thing I won't abide is being mocked maggot devils in the house of God. So, what do you say, let's finish this!" Drawing out both his holy sword and gun the mad priest spread his arms out wide. "The thought of tearing out flesh and eating it piece by piece makes my mouth water." He said licking the barrel of his gun.

"Alright tell me where is Asia now." I demanded.

Craning his neck to look behind him Freed shrugged. "Oh, right you mean that dirty devil loving whore of a sister, all you have to do is go down to the basement right beneath the alter."

"Downstairs got it." Kiba said grabbing the hilt of his sword as Koneko walked to a pew, glaring at the priest I activated my sacred gear.

"Here." Koneko said tossing the pew at Freed. Using his sword, the priest slashed through wooded pew looking mildly impressed. "You're pretty strong for a runt, now aren't you?" At that Koneko glared at him. "Suck it." She said tossing another pew at him, running away from the wooded projectile the priest fired his gun at his, jumping behind a pew to avoid being hit Kiba jumped into the air and engaged Freed in a sword battle.

Watching the fight, I had to admit Kiba was fast if he could dodge Freed's sword and gun at the same time. "Come on show me something interesting!" Freed yelled as he and Kiba locked swords. "You're quick." Kiba said with a grin.

"You're not so bad yourself." Freed said enjoying the challenge. "Of course, that only makes me want to kill you even more." He said shooting at Kiba at point blank range, breaking the sword lock the blond knight flipped out of the way.

"Now that was cool." I said watching the fight. "And seriously if he is fast enough to dodge a bullet… Holy crap."

"Alright if you want get serious about this I can to." Kiba said holding his sword out in front of I saw the black blade become a shadow the opposite of Freed's sword. Freed rushed forward locking blades with Kiba's but black tendrils leaked from Kiba's sword attaching to the holy sword of light absorbing it. "What the hell is this?" Freed asked confused.

"The holy eraser it's a sword of darkness that devours light." Kiba smirked.

"Please you think that I'm afraid of you." The mad priest said as he jumped away from Kiba.

"Damn I didn't know he had a sacred gear, well it's my turn!" I shouted as I ran forward.

"Boost!"

"That's it no more of this bullshit!" Freed yelled aiming his gun at me.

"Promotion Rook!" I shouted as I felt my body harden and my limbs filled with an unnatural strength. Freed fired his gun at me but the bullets just bounced off my skin.

"Oh, yeah I'm fucked." Freed said looking worried for the first time I met him.

"Right in the down under!" I shouted kicking him the crotch, sending the mad priest flying into a pile of broken wood. "That is what you get for trying to rape Asia."

"You bastards!" Freed shouted as he pulled out two new swords of light and jumped at me only to be sent back by another flying pew courtesy of Koneko. Freed tried to retaliate only to have his head almost taken off by Kiba. Snarling Freed jumped out of the way and glared down at us.

"I'll be damned if I let a bunch of devils are going to get the best of Freed Sellzen you won the battle but not the war scum!" Reaching inside his long coat the priest threw something on the ground and vanished in a flash of light and smoke.

"Damn it he got away." I muttered. "And I didn't get his lightsaber."

"Forget him let's keep moving." Kiba said, nodding we saw Koneko walk up to the pulpit and smash it to pieces revealing a hidden stair case. "Found it."

Rushing down the staircase we found ourselves in a large chamber with a group of over twenty priests all holding swords of light, the most shocking thing was in the middle of the room was a large stair case leading to an alter with a stone cross on the very top of the alter. On the cross was Asia who was stripped down to almost nothing except a white sheet and standing next to her was another fallen angel .

"Well, come on in devils." She said with a smirk as she turned to face us. "Welcome to the party, though I'm afraid you're too late."

"Asia don't worry I'm coming!" I shouted, looking up Asia struggled to speak but the only words I could hear was. "You kept your promise."

Growling I tried to rush toward her only to have Kiba pull me out of the way as a light spear exploded near us knocking the two us into the nearby wall.

"This really is a touching reunion but I'm afraid you're too late the ritual is already over." she said as Asia began to scream in pain while the cross glowed green.

"That's it they are after her sacred gear." Kiba said in realization. "I'm sorry but…they are going to kill her." We watched in horror as Asia kept screaming in pain until a small green orb floated out of her body and into Raynare's. Shaking visibly, I couldn't believe this was happening they killed her?

"Twilight healing at last it's in my hands." She went on monologuing about how she would be loved and how she would get revenge no those who screwed her over but only one thing was running through my mind and that was the fact this bitch was going to kill my friend.

"Damn you!" Running straight for the alter I forced my way through all the priests trying to stop me from getting to Asia. Using the Rook's strength, I sent the stray exorcists away from me, damn I could get used to this kind of power… Focus issei, focus. As I fought my way through the hordes of fallen priests I snagged a sword of light using that along my sacred gear I smacked most of my foes away, but despite the fact that I was able to fight these guys off, they just kept on coming.

Kiba and Koneko looked at one another and rushed straight in pulling off any of the priests that got to close to me. Nodding my thanks I ran straight to the top of the alter, but when I got there I couldn't help but stand in shock at the Asia's body all the while Raynare just watched me with a smirk on her lips.

"You deserve a reward for making it this far. "She said snapping her fingers the chains holding Asia's body to the cross released her, reaching out I grabbed Asia's body and held her tightly. "Don't worry Asia I'll get you out of here." I said.

Asia opened her eyes slightly staring at me. "You came…"

"Of course, I did I promised, didn't I? Just hold out for a little bit longer." Turning to look at the fallen angel I snarled out these next words. "Put her sacred gear back!"

"Oh, so tough, but not on your life I had to betray my bosses just to get my hands on this power." she said walking around me. "But hey look at the good news at least you two get to die together." She said summoning a spear of light.

"We need to get out of here!" Kiba shouted.

"I can't believe this…You murdered her, I said looking up at the fallen angel.

"That was part of the job sweetie, you can't really believe I would leave such a valuable sacred gear to her will you."She said with a smirk.

"Of course, you did everything I was to you

"Shut up!" Letting go of Asia's body I slammed my fist into her face sending her into the cross, then taking the sword of light I stole from one of the priests I ran the sword through her stomaching pinning her to the cross. "Eye, for an eye bitch, stomach for a stomach. Promotion Knight!" Picking up Asia I ran as quickly as I could have tried to get out of this hell hole. As I ran Kiba and Koneko both covered my escape telling me to get out of there. "Come on guys we need to out of here!"

"Get out of here, you standing there isn't helping anyone!" Kiba shouted.

"Move already!" Koneko said picking up one of the priests and tossed him into his fellows.

I hesitated but I knew I needed to get Asia out of here, sighing I nodded my head at them. "Thank you, my friend's I promise next time, you won't have to bail me out of my problems, because next time I will fight alongside you!" Running out of the tunnel I found myself in the main chapel, finding a pew that wasn't destroyed I gently laid Asia down. Taking off my jacket I made a pillow for her head and gently brushed her hair away from her face.

"It's going to be okay Asia I promise just rest here I need to help my friends…" Standing to leave I stopped feeling Asia gently tuck at my shirt, turning around I grab her hand squeezing it tightly. "I know it wasn't for long…. But I'm blessed to have known you…."

"Don't talk like that Asia when we get out of here we can go to the arcade again and get burgers and you can hang out with me and the others at the club come on just stay with me please…" I begged with tears in my eyes. "I can take you bowling and we can go swimming and to the amusement park…we can even have a big bon fire and cook s'mores just don't leave Asia…"

"I wish it could have been different…I wish I had known you before, gone to school with you…" She said weakly.

"You can and you will, we can do all of it everything you wanted to do…. just hold on please…" I begged as I cried, my tears falling onto our hands. Closing my eyes, I began to shake but stopped feeling Asia's hand on my face who smiled at me with tears in her eyes. "I never wanted to make you cry...Issei goodbye…." And like that she was gone… I had never seen someone die before… Dear god…

Gently wrapping my arms around her still form I cried. "Damn you God…. damn you she was a fucking healer! She could have helped the world and yet you took her and for what reason!? Because she was friends with a fucking devil? She didn't deserve this and you know it!" I shouted out of grief and frustration. "Give her back take my life please but just give her back! I never asked you for anything before so please just do this one thing for me God please!" I shouted out in anguish.

"A devil praying to God in church how pathetic." the fallen said with a smirk.

Laying Asia back down I stood to my feet staring at her with my hair covering my eyes. "What the fuck you do want?"

Pointing at her nose which was crocked she smirked. "Have to admit you caught me off guard, you broke my nose." Gently placing her hands over her face, a soft green glow escaped her hands and she began to heal.

That was Asia's power seeing the fallen angel use that power disgusted me. "Where are Kiba and Koneko?"

"Oh, they should be dead pretty soon, it's a little sad that you left them to die like you did." She said mockingly.

Soon huh? Which means they are still alive. I concluded as I kept glaring at the fallen angel, that is when I saw the small cut on her arm, must have been Kiba's work. Touching the cut on her arm she used Asia's power to heal herself.

"Wonderful, isn't it? I can heal any type of wound. To us fallen angels, who lost the protection of God, her sacred gear was a wonderful gift. My status as a fallen angel will rise and I will finally secure my position my power! Great Azazel and Shemhaza. Ahahaha my power is all for you!"

"Shut up!" I shouted shocking the fallen from her babble. "I don't a give a flying fuck about any of this, it had nothing to do with Asia, she didn't care about power all she wanted was a normal life!"

"Unfortunately, this is the fate of all those humans possessed by a sacred gear." she argued.

"Bullshit she just wanted to live in peace she wanted to have friends and a normal life!" I shouted my voice carrying across the church. "If you hadn't gotten involved then she could have."

"Out of the question a normal human couldn't survive out in the world with sacred gears, even if they used their powers for good they would be different and treated like an outcast." she shrugged.

"Damn it I was her friend I would have protected her, and kept her from feeling like an outcast." Glaring down at the fallen angel I couldn't help but shake in anger.

Laughing Raynare shook her head. "She is d

"Damn you…. you should have been the one to die…. I want my friend back!" I shouted as something finally snapped inside of me.

"Dragon boost!"

A bright red light twisted and turned around my body, the floor beneath my feet cracked and shattered. Shouting a battle cry I rushed forward using the knight's speed to cover the distance between the fallen angel and myself before she could react I slammed my fist into her face. Flying across the church she used her wings to stop herself from crashing into a wall and took into the air. "You won't get away that easily!" I shouted jumping up after her my own wings spreading from my back.

"What you can fly!?" she shouted as fear grabbed ahold of her heart. Shaking it off she summoned a spear of light and threw it at me. "Promotion Rook!" I shouted, punching the spear of light away, summoning two spears of light the fallen angel tossed both at me.

"Boost!"

The power boosting effect of my sacred gear shattered the spears of light before they met my body, snarling in rage I side kicked her into the ground. "Now to finish this bitch!" I started a dive bomb decent until I saw that the fallen angel had Asia's body in one hand and spear of light in the other.

"Come any closer and I will destroy her body." she smirked. Stopping mid-dive, I held my place in there glaring at the chicken bitch, shit if she destroyed Asia's body then… She couldn't be brought back to life.

Chuckling she motioned for me to float to the ground. Landing just a few feet away from them I watched her carefully as she let go of Asia's body, taking off into the air the fallen angel tossed her spear of light into the thigh of my right leg and quickly she summoned another and that found itself in my left thigh. Screaming in pain I could feel and hear my skin sizzle, like it was being cooked on a grill.

"Light is toxic to your kind, just touching it scorches your bodies, it is said to be intense and worst pain a devil could experience. So, tell me is it true?" She smirked sure of her victory.

Gripping both spears of light I could feel the skin of my palm burning off as I felt my strength leaving my body. Shouting in pain I pulled the spears from my legs and tossed them aside. "I don't give a shit about my own pain. What happened to Asia is far worse than anything you could throw at me!"

"Impossible a low-level devil like yourself shouldn't be able to do that!" she shouted.

"I will kill you fallen and if God won't help me then Satan should!" Looking up I closed my eyes, I couldn't believe I was doing this but you know what? Screw it I needed all the help I could get. "I know I'm just a low class nothing compared to you but I'm a devil so do me a solid and let me kill this bitch and after that I won't ever ask you for anything again!"

"What the hell are you doing!? You shouldn't be able to stand at all that pain should be crippling." She screamed backing up, opening my eyes I slowly walk forward. Every muscle in my body burned and screamed with pain. "Trust me the pain it doesn't tickle; I feel like I am on the verge of passing out but I'll do anything if it means I can take you down!"

"EXPOLSION!"

A huge surge of power passed through my body as a bright light escaped from the gem of my sacred gear. I Screamed in pain as the raw energy went through my veins. "Impossible his sacred gear shouldn't be anywhere near this level!" Screaming fallen tossed a light spear at me, growling I smacked the spear out of the way, she tried to fly away but was stopped as I grabbed her wings.

"What are you doing!?" She screamed struggling to get out my grip.

"You took Asia's life so I'm taking your wings!" Placing a foot against her back I pulled with all my might ignoring her protests and screams of pain, a distinct ripping sound echoed throughout the church as she howled in pain. "My wings, my wings! What have you done!" She cried falling onto the ground.

Ignoring the pain in my body I dropped the wings and grabbed ahold of the fallen angel by her hair. "When you get to hell tell the devil I sent you!" Gritting my teeth, I slammed my sacred gear into her sending her flying out the window of the church.

Panting heavily, I stumbled falling face first to the floor until I felt someone supporting me turning to look it was Neel. "Damn you don't do things half way, do you?"

NORMAL POV

Issei do you want to finish her or I should do it for you. Issei looked determined and said

...I will kill her...

ok let's go then.

we came near the fallen and saw that she was trying to heal but the damage was so much that it didn't heal fast. taking the opportunity issei was about to kill her when rias,akeno,kiba and koneko came out of the shadows.

Rias...

congratulations issei for activating boosted gear I knew it was not twice critical.

Issei..

yes I won but asia..

Rias...

don't worry she will live first what do you want to do with this fallen..

Issei...

kill her

rias took the sacred gear from raynare and killed her with the power of destruction.

then she moved towards Asia placed her sacred gear over her and reincarnate her into her bishop.

Asia and Issei had a emotional reunion.

after cleaning up the mess we left the church.

overall everything turned out to be good Asia became devil, Issei unlocked boosted gear and fallen angel are gone from the town temporarily maybe since Azazel would come soon but he is not danger. fallen gang were a pain in the ass trying to kill kidnapping now it would be peaceful for the time being or would it....

Notification..

I am sorry about the confusion with the raynare guys I was little drunk yesterday so I wrote this and published without checking it...
