New Memories *

"Then BAM! Hits him with the meanest Destiny Overdrive I've ever seen! It was like watching a movie!" Melody said with excitement.

"But it wasn't a movie." I sighed and smiled at Melody. "My life and Leonidas's was on the line. San Angelo was on the line. If it weren't for that Miracle, I don't think we would've had too much of a chance in the end game."

"But you still saved that entire city. You're a hero..~" Dawn smiled as she walked to my desk, but Penny stopped her. "Come on must we go through this every time?"

"Yes! I don't know your intentions with him yet." Penny said as she stood in front of Dawn.

Dawn sighed softly and smiled at Penny. "Such an overprotective girlfriend. Are we not all his girlfriends by now?"

"I-I mean you are but there's a hierarchy!" Penny said.

"If that's the case, The Boss comes before anyone else." Tao Sun said.

"No actually my sister does." I said.

"I keep forgetting you're a weirdo who dates and fucks your own sister." Melody sighed. "Why are the hot ones so weird..?"

Luckie watched and crossed her arms. She landed on my shoulder in her tiny demon form. "So this is how your harem interacts. They do tend to fight for your attention just like how Talenta does with me!"

Talenta blushed and crossed her arms, sitting on my other shoulder. "Sh-Shut up, Goldilocks!"

"Come on you know it's true!" Luckie giggled.

"Anywho," I started and stood up. "I actually have plans today so this debate over who's gonna spend time with me first is going to have to wait."

"Huh? Plans with who?" Dawn asked, tilting her head.

"Paige." I answered.

"Wait the SAME Paige that goes here?" Penny asked.

"Paige goes to this college?" I asked.

"Well she isn't really a student, more like a receptionist who kinda takes calls about new students and transfers. She's the youngest staff member here." Penny answered.

"Of course you wouldn't know that, chump." Melody said.

I pinched Melody's nose and she whined. "You're lucky I like your attitude around me..~ Brats like you are easy work for me..~"

'God why am I so attracted to him when he speaks to me like this..?!' Melody thought to herself with rosy cheeks.

Tao Sun clapped her hands together. "You know what we should do? We should hold a party this Friday! Just the five of us plus a few friends! Such an achievement can't go unnoticed!~"

"I already have my reward." I said then the Mask of The Fortune appeared in my hand. I looked at it and noticed the Luck Sigil shimmering as if it was happy.

Luckie nuzzled me and giggled. "Yep!~ Yep!~"

"So that's what the Mask looks like up close? A Golden Mask." Melody said and gently took it from my hand and put it on her face. "Nothing's happening. Where's the cool powers?"

I took the mask off her face and chuckled. "It only works with the one they've chosen as their host or is gifted to you. I would gift it, but I need it for bigger plans."

"No you aren't gifting it EVER! We are staying with you forever!" Luckie said and pouted.

"Right. We have already agreed to let you be our Master. There's no way we're letting you let go of these Masks." Talenta smiled at me.

'I know. I know.' I thought to them.

"So what are you and Paige planning?" Dawn asked, with a hint of jealousy in her voice.

I looked at Dawn and gently rubbed her hair. "No need to be jealous, Dawn. Just going to do some shopping with her and things of that nature."

"No fair! I wanna go shopping!" Penny said and pouted.

I smiled at Penny then kissed her cheek. "Next time, Pen..~"

Penny blushed and looked at me. "Promise?~"

"I promise..~" I smiled at her then grabbed my belongings. "I'm heading out now. Don't miss me too much."

Melody grumbled and turned her head. "Whatever."

"See you soon, Darling~" Dawn waved.

"Bye bye!~" Tao Sun waved and giggled.

"I love you~" Penny waved.

"I love you too~" I waved and smiled.

I left the clubroom and got a message from Paige.

Paige: Let's meet at the Plaza near HQ.

Me: Gotcha. I'll be there in ten.

-----

I made it to a Plaza named Trinity Plaza that was near HQ. The plaza was full of mostly women, but there were a few men here on dates and with their significant others. As I waited for Paige, I heard my name being called.

"Yo! Ryder!" Leonidas waved at me.

I looked ahead and noticed Leonidas then grunted. "Leonidas?! Why are you here?!"

Leonidas walked ahead with a woman holding his arm. "Well I was in the neighborhood and decided to give my wife here a little tour around. Ava, meet Ryder. Ryder, meet Ava."

Ava and I waved at each other and gave each other a courteous smile.

"So this is the famous Ace I keep hearing about. I would say that he's more impressive than the last Ace. I don't even think she fully awakened Talenta when she was The Ace, but she was a killer." Ava smiled.

"Rebecca was one hell of an Ace. She was untouchable, unmatched. Shame she couldn't awaken Talenta, but this guy. He's a different story. You still owe me." Leonidas chuckled and pat my shoulder.

"Yeah yeah." I smiled at Leonidas.

"Ryder!" Paige called out to me and hurried over to me, wearing a white casual dress, a black jacket, and carried a brown designer bag with her.

I smiled at Paige and noticed her happily hug my arm. "Hey, glad you could make it."

Paige nodded and smiled. "I'm glad you asked me out again. I needed this very badly. And it seems we have Commander Leonidas and his wife here!"

"Sounds like my cue to let you two do your thing." Leonidas smiled. "Have fun, young cubs."

Paige and I smiled as we watched Leonidas walk off with his wife. Paige looked back at me and pulled me off the wall. "Come on!~ I wanna get some shopping done and see that movie you suggested!~"

The shift in air between me and Paige has shifted from the first time we went on a date. She didn't seem too excited nor too bored. She was merely doing her job, but since I bought her out and officially made her my girlfriend, she seemed a lot happier. Not to mention how many hoops we had to jump to get her back.

"Okay, okay~" I chuckled and got off the wall then began to walk with her.

"How does your eye feel?" Paige asked.

"It's fine. I can see from it, but I can only see energy from it. It is helpful because I can even see energy through obstacles so nothing can really escape it. I call it Miracle Eye, since I have the Emblem of Talent fused with my left eye as well." I answered.

Paige looked at me and held my hand. "Is there a way to get it fixed?"

"Charlotte has been trying, but the damage is permanent. Either way it's fine. A free Sharingan and I can see and copy people's abilities? It's a win to me. It isn't like I'm completely blind. I've gotten used to my sight now." I said then smiled at Paige.

Paige smiled back and nodded. She looked at the ground as she walked with me. "When I got kidnapped...the first person I thought of was you. Before I knew you were The Ace, Charlotte was telling me about you.."

~Paige's Flashback~

"You still know Ryder correct?" Charlotte asked as she sat at her desk.

"Yeah, I still know him. How can I forget him? He had an amazing birthday party and he's friends with you and the Agents. He's the Top 1% of Paid Relationships." Paige answered.

"I wouldn't underestimate him now..~ My beloved has become a worthy boyfriend for people like Rebecca, Rhea, Eliza, Alice, and Wendy. I know you two haven't spoken in a while, but one day you two will meet again and recollect. Give him a chance..~" Charlotte smiled at Paige.

~End of Paige's Flashback~

"So she was putting in good word for me?" I chuckled.

"I'm glad she did. You proved yourself to be beyond what she described. No other man will ever get to experience my attention again. You are the only one who gets all of me..~" Paige said and interlocked our fingers.

I smiled and felt her loving energy. I felt immeasurable happiness with Paige to the point where I couldn't stop smiling. She couldn't stop smiling either.

"I have a question." I said.

"Mhm?" Paige looked at me.

"Who is Leonidas exactly?" I asked.

Paige giggled softly. "I knew the question would arise eventually. You two did work together a week ago. He's the Commander of a small force named Pride Force and Wielder of Zodiac Power. Pride Force consists of powerful beings like Orishi Ashikaga used to be a member before moving on to LIONS, Leonidas himself, Noel Love used to be a member, Alice used to be a member before becoming an Agent, Rebecca also used to be a member before becoming The Ace, and the final member also uses a Sin. She's beautiful as well. Her name is Leviah Envi."

"So there are only two members. Also who is Leviah?" I asked.

"She wields the Sin of Envy." Satan said.

I looked at my hand and noticed the Wrath Sigil shining a bit. "Finally awake?"

Satan yawned and giggled a bit. "For you to speak to me so casually even though you're a human. Most would fear a woman like me."

"Well you're basically a part of me now. Might as well get used to it." I said.

"So you can freely speak to Satan?" Paige asked. "Isn't He supposed to be the God of all Evil?"

"He?!" Satan scoffed. "I will let you know I am 100% woman now! Just like my other fellow Hellish Queens!"

"She can't hear you." I said, watching the Wrath Sigil flashing quickly in anger that Paige called her a man.

"O-Oh right." Satan said.

Paige giggled and looked at me. "Your connection with supernatural beings...it's comforting that it's in the hands of the right person."

"Wait, I just realized. Leonidas is an embodiment of Sin as well right?" I asked.

"He is." Paige nodded. "We aren't only teamed with Devils though, we have Angels with us as well. It's just they aren't in the Texas Branch."

"You can thank Shiro for allowing Angels and Demons to work together. If it were up to me, I'd destroy Heaven as we speak!" Satan bellowed.

I smiled and shook my head. "But God is the one who saved our asses."

"Yeah whatever." Satan scoffed. She hated getting assistance from God, but she couldn't help but be grateful that He did. "Enjoy your date, Human."

The Wrath Sigil disappeared and I smiled. Paige and I continued forward on our date together.

-----

"Oh! Look at this dress!" Paige said and pointed at the dress she really liked.

I didn't realize how much of a shopper Paige really was. If I wanted, I could buy the entire mall for her if she wanted it. I watched as Paige took the dress to try it on. I heard a soft chuckle beside me and looked over.

"Jaiden!" I said and smiled.

"If it isn't The Hero. You're trending all over media. Well not your normal self, but The Ace. I watched the news and best believe Dahlia and I were cheering for you." Jaiden smiled at me.

"How was The Voice?" I asked.

"It got pushed back because of the San Angelo incident. I don't mind as it gives me more time to practice with Rashaad for The Next Shining Star and Musical Superstars." Jaiden answered.

Dahlia walked over to us and smiled at me. "Hey Ryder."

I waved at Dahlia. "Heya."

Dahlia looked at Jaiden then whispered in his ear and pointed at a creep who's been following her around the area. Jaiden nodded and looked at the man she pointed to.

I looked at the man as well.

"Need me to take care of it?" Satan asked.

'Nah, I got it.' I said.

"I'll handle it." I said and smiled at Jaiden and Dahlia.

"You sure?" Jaiden asked.

I nodded and walked over to the creep. The man looked at me then I shot him a glare. He cowered before me and noticed my hateful face. He ran out of the store in a hurry, nearly pissing his pants.

Jaiden snickered as he watched and watched me walk back toward him. "You literally just looked at him and he ran off."

Dahlia smiled and sighed in relief. "He's been known for harrassing the women of this area. Thank you."

I smiled at Dahlia and Jaiden. "I've always got your backs."

"Babe!~" Paige called out to me.

I looked back at Paige then at Jaiden and smiled. "That's my cue to go. Oh yeah and here's my new number."

I said and gave it to Jaiden. He looked a bit surprised and took it.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

I nodded. "There's nothing to fear. We're safe to talk now. See ya."

Jaiden smiled and nodded. "See you around."

I made my way to Paige and noticed how many items she picked.

"Sorry I couldn't help myself. They were all so beautiful..~ Perfect for our date nights in the future..~" Paige smiled.

I smiled at her and chuckled then tapped her nose. "There will be more to come..~"

Paige blushed and giggled softly. I bought everything the had in her hands and carried the bags. We walked out of the store to do a little window shopping. After strolling around the mall together, we went back to my car that was near the Plaza and placed everything in the trunk.

"Movie?" She asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, let's go see it."

-----

We went inside of the movie theater named TrinityCinemas and I went to the kiosk to purchase two tickets to the movie we wanted to see. It was an hour wait so we decided to hang around the arcade area for a bit.

As we played a few games, I sighed softly and gave a bittersweet smile. "This brings back so many memories. Memories that hurt to think about now."

Paige looked at me and noticed my smile. She smiled a bit and looked at the screen. "I remember what you told me on our first date. You, Matt, and Jaiden. The trio. I can understand your pain and sorrows."

I smiled a bit more and looked at her. "We had some of the best memories together."

I looked at the ceiling as I sat back in the chair. "Memories I'll never forget.."

Paige watched as I took out my phone. I scrolled to a picture of me, Matt, and Jaiden together at an arcade. I showed her and she smiled.

"You look so innocent. So pure.." Paige said as she looked at the picture with a smile. "I can tell how close you three were.."

I nodded and smiled. I closed my eyes and remembered Matt's face before having to put him down. I took a deep breath and sighed. "If only...things could be different."

~Flashback~

"You know. You've become something that no one would believe. You've become an agent. That's pretty cool and you've become a great fighter. Guess a nerd like you can make it big."

~End of Flashback~

"Guess a nerd like you can make it big.." I said then my smile slowly faded.

The memories hurt. Everytime I think about it, it hits like a truck. I've still never gotten over Matt's death. I couldn't still get over having to kill someone I saw as a brother.

Paige looked at me and got out of her seat then walked to me and kissed my cheek. "I know he wouldn't want you sitting here and be miserable..."

I looked at her and noticed her smile. I smiled back then got out of my seat. "Yeah. He's probably say 'Dude! You're bagging the baddest women on Earth! Why are you just sulking over me?'" I gave a soft chuckle.

Paige giggled a bit and held my hand. "He isn't wrong..~ Having the entire organization of women to yourself is something to be happy about. No other man will ever get to experience this..~"

Paige really knew what to say and how to cheer me up in this moment. Just being around her...knowing she's safe with me, it made me cheer up. I may never get Matt back, but at least Jaiden is still here even though I know he feels the same way about Matt.

"Come on, let's go see this movie~" Paige smiled.

"Okay." I smiled back.

------

"That movie was pretty great! So much action and suspense!~ When she took down the villain and sacrificed herself to save her world, so emotional..~" Paige said as we walked out of the movies together.

"It was pretty hyped up all over socials! I'm glad it wasn't a let down~" I chuckled, holding Paige's hand.

"Do you wanna come over to my house?" Paige asked.

'Yessir. I already know what that question means, but...Paige doesn't have Lust Energy...' I thought to myself and looked at her.

It was Love Energy. Not a lick of lust within her, but pure love and passionate energy radiated around her body.

I smiled at her and nodded. "Yeah sure, we gotta go there anyway so I can get your things to your house."

She smiled happily and together we walked over to my car and got in. I started it and began driving to Paige's house. It wasn't a far drive, maybe about 10 minutes at best, that's not counting traffic.

Once we made it to her house, I helped her bring all her bags inside and she led me to her room. I helped her put everything away then she sat me on her bed and walked to the bathroom.

She walked out of her bathroom with nothing on and smiled at me. "Do you like what you see?~" She asked in a very seductive voice.

I watched her walk over to me and looked up at her. "I do..~"

"It's all yours to ravage..~" Paige smiled and pulled me up. "I don't want to be the only one naked..~"

I chuckled softly and began to take off my clothes. Once I got them all off, it was game time. She pulled me onto her bed and mounted on top of me.

She trailed her finger along my chest and smiled. "Are you nervous..?~"

"Why would I be?" I chuckled as I had my arms behind my head. "I've dealt with Charlotte, I'm sure I can handle you..~"

"Ahh..~ So the rumors are true..~ Well, don't take me too lightly..~" Paige said then leaned down.

She kissed my lips and I kissed back. She slowly got off me as she kissed my and wrapped her fingers around my shaft. She pulled away and gently ran her fingers through my hair.

"That night at the hotel..~ I wish we would've done it..~" Paige said as she slowly stroked my cock.

"There were too many people who could've heard us..~" I said as I gently caressed her cheek.

She smiled at me then looked at my member then bit her bottom lip a bit. "No one can hear us here..~"

After those words, I felt her engulf my cock in her mouth. She moved her head up and down, slowly, making sure I could feel her every movement. I moved her hair out the way and placed my hand back behind my head then closed my eyes.

I let out satisfied sounds as she continued. She pulled away and stroked my cock, looking at me. She mounted back on top of me and held my cock in her hand. I looked deep into her eyes and she looked deeply back into mine.

She began to slowly slide my length inside of her then let out a soft moan. I chuckled softly at her moan and held her hips. She placed her hands on my chest and began to ride me slowly. She whipped her hair to the side and smiled seductively at me.

"After what you've done for me...you deserve real...passionate sex..~" She purred softly.

"Really..?~" I chuckled softly and reached up to caress her cheek.

"Yeah..~" She giggled softly then made an excited sound when I flipped our position then held my arms.

I looked down at her and rubbed her chest gently. "Allow me to take control..~"

"Okay..~" She smiled.

I began to thrust my cock inside her slowly. She stared into my eyes intimately and made soft sounds with every thrust. She glided her hands up and interlocked her fingers against the back of my neck.

I began to strengthen and quicken my thrusts. She closed her eyes and her moans began to fill the room and my head. I leaned down as I continued to thrust and she embraced me, moaning in my ear.

She opened her legs more, allowing me to go deeper inside of her. She panted a bit and slightly clawed my back. Her moans began to grow louder as I began to thrust even harder.

"Yes..!~ Right there, baby..!~" Paige moaned and held me tightly as she began to grow closer to an orgasm.

Paige's moans began to grow shaky and desperate. I buried my face against her neck, listening to her moan my name desperately. She squealed as she began to erupt as immeasurable pleasure took over her body. I stopped thrusting and felt her body shaking.

Paige adjusted herself and panted then watched me sit up. I flipped the position and let her be on top. She leaned down and kissed my lips passionately. I kissed back and felt her riding me, bouncing her hips up and down quickly. She pulled away from the kiss and lowered her head, moaning as she rode me.

"Ride it baby~ Come on~" I moaned and smacked her ass.

Paige began riding faster and harder, gripping my chest. She panted and whined as she began to grow close once again. She began to babble and desperately moaned. She stopped abruptly as she began to cum for the second time. Her legs began to shake again and she squirmed a bit. I felt her creamy fluids trickling down my shaft and chuckled.

"Haah!~ Fuck..~ Two times..~" She panted and looked at me.

"I haven't even gotten close..~" I said seductively.

She bit her bottom lip as she looked down at me. "Such...a trooper..~"

I held her hips and she adjusted herself on top of me. I began to thrust quickly and with purpose. She groaned with pleasure and held the headboard of her bed. I grunted with each thrust and she rubbed her clit quickly as I fucked her. Her inner walls began to tighten, causing me to thrust roughly.

She began to beg and cry out for me to keep going. Her breasts bounced around quickly and her breathing hitched. Her moans were ragged and heavy. I flipped the position once more and began to pound my hips against hers, driving her crazy.

She began to grow dizzy and arched her back, her make up began to mess up from her tears and sweat. She screamed as she had an explosive orgasm and began squirting. My cock slipped out of her and I rubbed the tip of my shaft quickly against her pussy. I slid it back in and she began to move her hips up and down, riding me while in missionary. I had her going crazy for me, I loved every bit of it.

She stopped moving her hips and panted heavily. I began to thrust roughly once again, grunting as I grew closer to erupting. She wrapped her legs around my waist and her toes curled.

"Give it to me..!~" She begged.

I panted like an animal as I kept thrusting. "You want it?~"

"Yes!~ Ahhaahh!~ Give it to me baby!~"

I began thrusting even faster and her moans grew louder. I let out a loud groan as I came inside of her. She squeaked and held me tightly, clawing my back and leaving love marks. She arched her back and cried out in pleasure.

I pulled out of her and panted heavily. She stopped arching her back and panted as well. Her body began to grow limp and she slowly released me from her embrace. I laid down beside her and closed my eyes.

Paige gently rubbed herself as she laid on her bed. She looked over at me and rolled on her side slowly. She cuddled against me and sniffled. "I loved...every second..~"

I held her and smiled. I looked at her and gently ran my fingers through her hair. "I'm glad..~ I also enjoyed every second..~"

Paige closed her eyes and placed one leg over my body. "I'm so sleepy.." She whispered.

"Don't you want to get under the covers..?" I asked.

"Mm-mmm.." She answered softly and tiredly.

I smiled and my blue wing emerged from my back then covered up. She smiled as she felt my warm wing cover her body. She soon drifted to sleep and so did I.

-----

The next day arrived.

Paige hummed as she made breakfast for the two of us. I watched as she happily cooked then stood up. She had finished cooking and turned off the stove. I walked behind her and hugged her.

Paige smiled and giggled as I embraced her. "What, babe?~ The food's almost ready..~"

I smiled and closed my eyes. "I love you..~"

Paige smiled sweetly and felt warm inside. She held my hands then closed her eyes. "I love you too..~"

Talenta watched and smiled then noticed a Sigil forming on Paige's shoulder. She let out a soft chuckle. "The Love Sigil...only given to those who feel...true love."

"What does it do?" Luckie asked.

"Just like Shiro's Crest of Love or whatever Lustie called it, it has a variety of effects on the one baring it...but for Ryder whenever he's around a woman with a Love Sigil he gains a significant boost to his attributes. It's almost like how marriage works in our world now." Talenta said.

"Marriage..~" Luckie said and smiled. "Lustie is so lucky to know what marriage is like...to spend eternity with the one you love. I want to know that feeling."

"I mean...we are technically married to Ryder because of our Sigil. Shiro made it clear, those who wear these masks and has a pure bond with us, we shall claim to be wedded to the owner." Talenta said and blushed as she looked at me.

Luckie smiled as she watched me and Paige enjoy our breakfast together. "They look so happy..~ Makes me want to cry because I haven't seen joy like this...in so long."

"Ten years since we last got to experience real happiness.." Talenta said and wiped her eyes. "I'm glad to experience it with Ryder. I can't imagine myself in the hands of someone else."

"Oh boohoo." Satan said as she appeared in a tiny demon form.

Luckie and Talenta looked at Satan and were surprised.

"I can't say I am not pleased with his happiness. It brings a smile to my face, but to cry over it?" Satan said and crossed her chibi arms.

Talenta smiled and rolled her eyes. "Whatever.."

Satan smiled and watched me. "One day."

Luckie looked at Satan and smiled. "One day we will actually be able to spend time with him.."

Talenta nodded. "One day.."
