Chapter 5

[Omniscient POV]

It had been two weeks since his bout with the Gremory heir and her peerage. Ezekiel was kneeling before the altar of the newly renovated church, at least on the inside.

On the outside however, it was still closed for construction and magically warded against mundane and most magical intrusion to prevent vagabonds, delinquents, and rogue elements like stray exorcists, fallen, and devils from thinking this was an easy haven or hunting ground.

As he finished his devotion, he got up from the ground and made his to the first row of seats and sat. A book manifested in a flash of silver light. Seaming as a Bible fits with the title at the front suggested as such and scriptures in it to verify its authenticity. With a flash of golden light, the word in the book changed from English to another language only a select in the whole world could decipher, much less speak fluently.

The language was Ancient Enochian the language of the angels. A language with many uses from simple spell casting, to enchanting though very few materials can withstand the process, warding like he did you the church, to summon and even sealing. And those are just a few of its uses.

He turned the page and a different language was present. A language that is more easily recognized but not so easily read. This was Ancient Hebrew. This languish still used by some members of the church along with Latin in spell-craft and prayer.

A few minutes passed and Ezekiel was engrossed in time but was disturbed by a phone ringing. With a sigh he closes the tome now transformed back to a Bible before it turn to light and flowed into his chest.

He reach into his pocket pulled out a phone and checked the called ID which only said

~ THE VATICAN ~

: Hello Good morning.

: I'm currently in Kuoh.

: Stolen by who?

: I see.

: He's heading here?

: Good.

: No, backup is not required.

: If there already near then it can't be helped. Have them meet me by the church.

: Ask the devils not to interfere.

: There are two high-class heirs with their respective peerage and possibly hidden security from their siblings. If force is necessary for them to stay out of church matter then so be it. However, Sir Micheal and Madam Gabriel want peace with the pseudo-hell spawns. So a middle ground will have to be reached.

: Who was sent?

: Only those two against a cadre, against a former Watcher, are they mad.

: It's suspicious.

: The church has rules and restrictions. Formation and automated protection spells guarded all the while swords without wielders and yet they were stolen.

: Now your telling despite the threat presented by a former Watcher, only two high-mid-class exorcists were sent. With holy swords.

: Might as well be giving the remaining swords to the enemy.

: Very well.

: I know Sir Strada.

: Alright I'll meet them at the school for the meeting.

: Yes Sensei

With the conversation finished he hung up. Only sending two exorcists for the retrieval or destruction of the swords was suspicious no matter how you looked at it.

But he'll handle the theft of the swords first and the possible corruption after. It's possible incompetence could be at play, but he doubted it.

"Asia" shouted Ezekiel and a few seconds later the sound of rushed footsteps came from the basement stairs.

A blonde nun with emerald eyes that reflect her soul and aura of innocence came into view.

" Yes Father Ezekiel," said the Asia

"How many times must I tell you to just call me Ezekiel" came this exasperated response but a small smile was on his lips.

Asia fidgeted with a blush on her face while pressing her right and left index fingers together. Before steam could exit her ears.

"It's alright whenever you're ready"

Asia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you need me for something Father?" asked Asia.

"Yes an important matter regarding the church came up and I must attend to it" replies Ezekiel.

" Is that anything I can do to help?" she asked with a hint of determination in her tone.

"Hmm no...not for now. Just look after the church and stay within the borders of the wards. Should anyone enter forcefully break this jewel and it will do the rest." he said and tossed a jewel with three Enochian symbols on it.

"I'm heading out" he turn and he added for the entrance of the church.

"Take care of yourself, Father Ezekiel," said Asia as exited the building.

Once outside to a vehicle that was enchanted not to be seen in front of the church and cloaked from the sight of the mundane while not being driven.

It is a gold and black Ducati Monster with words and designs flowing across its body.

Like the phrase

~Vince Malum Bono~ on the top right side of the bike, which means Overcome evil with Good. Or the phrase ~Quo Non Ascendam?~ on the top left side of the bike, which means To what heights can I not Rise?

Ezekiel summoned a helmet and mounted the bike, before taking off leaving a trail of dust as he headed toward Kuoh Academy.

______________________________________________

Meanwhile at Kuoh Academy in the office of the student council. Sona Sitri a violet-eyed brunette known as Souna Shitori to the mundane and hier of the Sitri clan was pondering on an upcoming meeting with church representatives her sister informed about.

A friend and Queen Tsubaki Shinra ( also a brunette) served her some tea before returning to the side.

She takes a sip and savors it.

"Excellent as always Tsubaki" she comments.

"I aim to please President" she replies with a smile.

Just then a young with ash blonde he ain't entered the room. This was her newest pawn worth four pieces Saji Genshiro. He was followed by her two bishops the white-haired Momo Hanikai and the brunette Reya Kusaka. her knight the pink-haired Tomoe Meguri and her rook blue-haired tomboy Tsubasa Yura.

"They aren't here yet President?" asked Saji while stating the obvious.

"No Saji there's still half an hour till the appointed time, have patients," she said while adjusting her glasses which cause the lens to shine.

" Sorry President," said Saji while rubbing the back of his head.

"What's the purpose of the meeting President," asked Momo

"Yes, we do Momo. The church has enemies in the area. The meeting is meant to discuss access to Kuoh. Since it's governed by Rias and I."

His response leaves Momo pondering.

"So they have to ask you for permission. That's so cool President" comments Saji while laughing.

"Hmm...in a way...yes" responded Sona.

"Two energy signatures of Holy origin detected at the front gate President" informs Tsubaki.

"They're here," said Sona while yet again adjusting her glasses.

"Saji alert Rias of their arrival, Momo escort them here" ordered Sona

"Hai President /Hai President" responded the both of them before leaving to carry out their orders.

Meanwhile, at the front gate, Ezekiel parks his bike and hops off. After making sure no one is around he dispels his helmet.

He approaches two cloaked figures standing by the gate.

"Xenovia and Irina I take it?" he asked

The nod hoods are still on their heads.

"You understand the assignment?" he asks.

Once again they nod. He stares at them for a second.

"Good let's get this clown show out the way first," he said while walking through the gate and easily sensing the ward they had set up. Which he found to be amateurish. The duo waited until he passed the gate before following behind him. It was time to meet some devils.
