Chapter 4

xXxXxXxXX

The sound of a slap echoed across the room as Rias slapped Issei across the face. "How many times do I have to repeat myself? No is no. I cannot allow you to save that Sister."

Vince leaned against the wall as he saw Issei glaring at Rias. (It's interesting to know that Issei has the guts to stand up to Rias.)

"Then I will go by myself. I'm worried about the ritual thing. The Fallen Angels are doing something from behind the scenes. There's no guarantee of Asia's safety." Issei said as he rubbed his cheek.

"Are you really that stupid? You will definitely be killed if you go. You won't be able to come back to life anymore. Do you understand?" Rias stated calmly as she added."Your actions will affect not only me but also the other members! You are a Devil of the Gremory group! You need to be aware of that!"

"Then let me out of this group. I'll go there as an individual." Issei replied seriously.

"It doesn't work like that Issei. Once you have the Evil Pieces in you, your stuck with the "King" until you die or the "King" dies." Vince answered calmly.

"Vince is right, why don't you understand?" Rias shouted with a furious expression.

"I became friends with Asia Argento. Asia is my important friend. I won't abandon my friend!" Issei arguged.

"...That's a wonderful thing. I think it's amazing if you can say that face to face. But that is different than what we are talking about now. The relationship between a Devil and a Fallen Angel is not as simple as you think. The two sides have been glaring at each other for hundreds and thousands of years. If you show them a single gap of weakness, they will come and kill us. They are our enemy." Rias explained.

"Wasn't blowing away the enemy the Gremory's way of doing things?" Issei retorted.

"That's a pretty barbaric way of doing things." Vince added.

"..."

Rias glared at both Issei and Vince, while the Issei glared back at Rias and Vince rolled his eyes, not fazed by the glaring. "You can glare at me all you want, but blowing away enemies just like that is really barbaric."

"That girl was originally from God's side. She is a person that we cannot ever coexist with. Even if she went with the Fallen Angels, it doesn't change the fact that she is still the enemy of us Devils." Rias said seriously.

"Asia isn't our enemy!" Issei shouted at her.

"Even if she isn't, she has nothing to do with us. Issei, you have to forget about her." Rias stated.

(Wrong choice of words Rias.) Vince thought shaking his head.

Akeno then came in with a serious expression and whispered in Rias' ears. Vince looked on and raised an eyebrow when Akeno briefly glanced at him.

Rias then looked at everyone with a serious expression. "I've got an urgent thing to do now. Akeno, Vince and I will go out for a bit."

Vince blinked in surprise as Issei spoke. "B-Buchou! I haven't finished talking-"

Rias the placed a finger on Issei's lips "Issei, there are a couple of things I need to tell you. First one. You think that a "Pawn" is a weak piece, right? Am I right?"

After seeing Issei silently nod Rias continued, "That's a big misunderstanding. "Pawn" has a special ability that no other pieces have. That ability is the "Promotion"."

"Just like the actual chess game, "Pawn" can change into other classes if they reach the opponent's base. They are able to promote to any other piece besides the "King" piece. Issei, when you step foot in the location I acknowledge as "Enemy's base", you are able to change into any piece besides the "King"." Rias explained to him.

"But if your enemy finds out they'll try their best to take you down before you even try to promote, so keep that in mind." Vince said as looking at Issei who nodded.

Rias nodded as she added."Since it hasn't been that long since you became a Devil, there are restrictions, so it's probably still impossible for you to be promoted to the ultimate piece, a "Queen". But you could change to other classes. If you wish strongly for "Promotion" within your heart, then there will be a change in your ability."

"Or you could just say "Promotion" and the name of the chess piece you want to be when the tomato gives you permission." Vince stated as he pointed a thumb at Rias, causing Akeno to hold a hand up to her mouth as she giggled a little.

Rias gained a tickmark as she took a deep breath to remain calm. "Also one more thing. It's about the Sacred Gear. When you use your Sacred Gear, just remember this. Desire, Sacred Gear is driven with the power of desire. And it also determines the power for it as well. Even though you are a Devil, your will to desire hasn't been lost. The stronger you desire, the stronger your Sacred Gear will respond to you."

Vince looked down as he looked at his hand. (Desire... Does this mean my desire was strong to activate my Element Brand when I was seven?)

"Vince, Akeno let's go." Rias called out.

"Yes Buchou." Akeno answered seriously.

Vince said nothing but started walking as the three walked out of the clubroom. After the three walked a certain distance and entered a room, Vince spoke up. "So is it really something serious, or did you wanted to avoid talking about Issei's idea?"

"It is serious, but before I go into that I know you wanted to talk to me about something important." Rias said as she looked at him. "What do you want to talk about?"

Vince leaned against the wall. "I'll put it simply, since we're on short time. Dealing with those fallen-angels you encountered won't get you in trouble as long as you don't kill them."

"Oh? And how do you know something like that Vince?" Rias asked seriously.

"There are four Fallen-Angels in this area and they are my bounty. The same fallen angels that's been causing trouble for everyone in the area. My contractor told me that he wants them alive." Vince explained surprising both Rias and Akeno.

"So are you a bounty hunter?" Rias asked with a frown.

"I'm more of a freelancer. As long as I get paid I'll do the jobs I'm asked for, as long as it's not a waste of my time." He replied folding his arms.

"I see."

"I want a temporary alliance with you Rias." Vince spoke up.

Rias raised an eyebrow, "An alliance, what for?"

"Don't play dumb with me Rias. I know you were going to deal with those fallen-angels with Akeno, as Issei and the others go into their base." He replied with a frown.

Rias' eyes widened in response, "How did you know that?"

"You didn't forbid Issei or the others to rescue Asia, not to mention you explained Issei's abilities and encouraged him." Vince answered listening off his reasons.

"Ara ara, you're very perceptive Vince-kun." Akeno spoke with a smile.

"Yes, so why would I want to make a temporary alliance with you Vince?" Rias asked trying to get more information.

"We both want the Fallen-Angels out of our way and teaming up temporarily would make things easier for the both of us and we wouldn't have to fight each other when we see each other." He answered nonchantly.

"You would fight me?" She asked him.

"It's nothing personal, but if you do try to kill those fallen-angels before I turn them in, I will fight you Rias." Vince replied seriously.

"So, you're saying that we won't get into trouble with the Fallen-Angels we defeat those four, correct?" Rias asked confirming.

"Yes. Like I said earlier, I was contracted to take them in. There's no problem with I turn them in a little bruised." Vince answered with a small smirk.

"Ufufu, I didn't know you had a sadistic side Vince-kun." Akeno said with a smile.

Vince only shrugged in response, "I guess. So, Rias do agree to work together?"

Rias held out her hand and nodded, "Yes. It would make everything easier for us if we worked together."

Vince held out his hand and shook hands with Rias. "Just remember that this alliance is only temporary."

"I know. Don't be late Vince." Rias said to him.

"Same to you Rias." He replied as he left the room.

xXxXxXxXxX

Vince sat down on top of a tree branch as he looked around the abandoned church. He noticed Issei along with Kiba and Koneko going in the church. (Rias, Akeno and I will handle their reinforcements, by traping them and knocking them out quickly with our respective powers. While Issei, Kiba and Koneko go in the church.)

[Are you ready to begin Vince?] Yume asked.

"Yeah, I just hope those two can hold their own in a fight." He answered with a sigh.

[Just stick to the plan and everything should work just fine. Just be careful incase the plan doesn't work.] She warned him.

"Got it."

[Good, now the Rias-san and Akeno-san should arrive soon so we can begin.] Yume said with a nod.

A magic circle materialized near the church as Vince got up. "So, it looks like they've finally arrived."

Vince jumped off of the tree branch and walked towards where he saw the magic circle. Upon getting their he saw a blonde haired girl with twin short side ponytails wearing a gothic lolita dress. (How lucky for me, my target shows herself, I believe her name is Mittelt.)

"Anyway, if I destroy you, the master, the other slavelings will go bye-bye, right?" Mittelt then showed her wings. "And that makes me a happy-happy girl!"

"Don't be so cocky." A feminine voice spoke up.

"Sorry to say, but it looks like you're in trouble, Madam Gremory." Dohnaseek stated as he appeared.

Vince looked and saw two people appear. (I'm very lucky now. Those are my other targets, Kalawarner and Dohnaseek.)

"I have a score to settle with your servant." Kalawarner stated looking at Rias.

"Ara, ara. So nice to have the whole family here." Akeno spoke with a smile.

"I'll say. This makes my job a whole lot easier for me." Vince said as he walked in with a small smirk.

"It's you again." Dohnaseek stated glaring at Vince.

"Didn't you say that he was a Devil? Then why does he have the scent of a human?" Mittelt asked confused.

"It's good to see you made it in time, Vince." Rias said looking at him.

"Likewise."

"Akeno?" Rias asked.

"Gladly, Buchou." A storm cloud appeared above Akeno, a lightning bolt zapped her, changing her clothes into a miko's outfit.

"What!? She's part of a fetish show cosplay?" Mittelt shouted after seeing her.

Vince let out a whistle, "That's something you don't see everyday."

"Do you like it, Vince-kun?" Akeno asked in a teasing tone.

"Well, it is good eye candy." He answered with a small smirk.

"Ufufu, I'll keep that in mind." Akeno raised her hands as she multiple magic circles appeared.

"Is that barrier?" Vince asked looking at Rias.

"Yes, it's a very powerful one Akeno created." She replied with a nod.

Akeno blushed as she enchanced her hand in yellow lightning. "You will not escape this forest."

"Not bad." Vince said as small sparks of blue lighting discharged from his legs.

"Are you a servant of Gremory?" Kalawarner asked trying to get information.

"No, I'm not a servant..." Vince took out his gray cellphone and pressed a button.

Everyone's eyes widen when a pitch black aura came out of the cellphone and entered into Vince. He opened his eyes, showing that his eyes are now red and his pupils are slit. "...And that's all you need to know."

"Impossible! He's not a human anymore." Kalawarner spoke in a shocked tone.

"Are you a holder of a Sacred Gear?" Dohnaseek asked with a frown.

"What do you think?" Vince asked as he created a ball of black lightning.

"Ara, ara. Black lightning how interesting Vince-kun." Akeno spoke with a small blush as she saw the ball of black lightning shake violently.

"Damn you, that was your intention all along!" Kalawarner deduced.

"Yes. We arrived here to cleanse the filth." Rias said calmly.

"You watch your mouth!" Mittelt shouted at her.

"Also, I've been wanting to get all of you together near one place. After all, you three and along with Raynare will fetch a pretty penny with my contractor." Vince answered with a smirk.

"What!? Are you some kind of bounty hunter?" Dohnaseek shouted.

"I'm a freelancer. It's good to know that my first job will be so easy for me." He replied.

"Just keep up with that false cockiness!" Kalawarner said sneering.

"Once the ceremony is over, you'll no longer be able to be a bother to us and you will die on your first job, human." Dohnaseek answered also sneering.

"At any rate, I'm good to go. Are you Akeno?" Vince asked as the ball of black lightning in his hand suddenly disappeared.

"I'm ready anytime Vince-kun." Akeno said to him.

"What are you two talking about?" Kalawarned asked in a cautious tone.

"Why don't the three of you look above you?" Rias asked with a smirk.

The three Fallen-Angels look to see a thundercloud. Vince and Akeno flicked their fingers as multiple black lightning shaped chains came out from the ground and captured the three. The chains discharged a large amount of electricity at them, as the thundercloud released a large lightning bolt causing the three fallen-angels to let out a ear piercing scream before falling unconscious.

"Ufufu, it was fun hearing them scream. Wouldn't you say so, Vince-kun?" Akeno asked as she gave out a lustful smile.

"Yeah, ear-piercing screams that's always fun for my ears." He replied sarcastically.

"Either way you two did a good job." Rias said smiling.

"Well, at least the plan went off without a hitch." Vince said as he pressed a button on his gray cellphone.

The black aura came out of Vince and went back into the cellphone, causing him to return to normal. He extended his hand causing a large rope of water to come out of his hand and tie all three fallen-angels together. "All that's left is to take out Raynare."

"Vince, can you let Issei take care of Raynare?" Rias asked as the three started walking towards the abandoned church.

Vince raised an eyebrow as he dragged the three unconscious fallen angels with his water rope. "Mind explaining why I should in the first place?"

"I want Issei to get some experience in fighting and I also want to confirm something about his Sacred Gear." She answered.

"...Alright, but if I see that Raynare is about to die, I'll intervine. I need her alive." Vince replied in a serious tone.

"I understand." Rias paused for a moment before she continued. "When did you unlock your Sacred Gears, Vince?"

"Why do you ask?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"I'm curious, you seem to have a lot of experience in using it." She replied.

"I unlocked one of my Sacred Gears recently, the other one I've been using it for years." Vince answered with a shrug.

"Ara, so no wonder you're very experienced in using your powers, Vince-kun." Akeno said with a smile.

"Just like how you're experienced in using your lightning Akeno. I can tell you've been using it for a long time maybe even longer than I have." He answered looking at her.

"Ufufu, you can ask me for help with lightning if you want. I'll teach you a lot of things Vince-kun." Akeno replied teasingly.

"I'll probably take you up on that offer, I'm sure we'll learn quite a few things from each other." Vince stated with a small smirk.

(Church)

Vince leaned against the wall of the church as he looked Issei being supported by Kiba. (It's a little suprising that Issei was able to beat Raynare by himself. But I don't mind, it makes my job easier.)

"Buchou? Where did you come from?" Issei asked in a confused tone.

"From the basement. I finished my business, so I used the magic-circle to come here. It was my first time going into a Church, so I was nervous." Rias said with a sigh.

"I already told you the church was abandoned Rias. You didn't have to act so paranoid." Vince stated with an amused smile.

"I wasn't paranoid, I was just being cautious!" She replied in a slightly embrassed tone.

"Sure you were."

Rias then walked in front of Issei. "Looks like you won safely."

"Buchou... Hahaha, I won somehow." Issei said with a tired laugh.

(That's Rias' definition of a safe win? Issei looks like crap.) Vince thought rolling his eyes as he looked at Issei's injuries.

"Fufufu, excellent. Just what I expected from my servant." She said tapping Issei's nose.

Vince closed his eyes as he tuned out the rest of the conversation. (So far this has gone perfectly. It probably wouldn't have gone this smoothly if I did this by myself.)

"Buchou. I've brought it." Koneko said as she dragged Raynare by her wing.

"Thank you, Koneko. Now then, let's wake her up. Vince would you like to do it?" Rias asked turning to him.

"Sure." Vince extended his hand and pointed at Raynare. A stream of water came out his hand and splashed Raynare in the face.

Raynare started coughing as the water splashed her face, but Vince continued to spray water on her face and increased the pressure causing her to start gagging and gasping for air.

Vince stopped spraying her with water as he had a barely noticeable smirk on his face. Akeno looked at Vince with a small blush and giggled a little at the wake-up call.

"How are you doing, Fallen Angel Raynare." Rias said looking down on her.

"...The daughter of the Gremory clan..." She said weakly.

"Hello, my name is Rias Gremory. I'm the next heir of the House of Gremory. It will be for a short while, but nice to have your acquaintance." Rias greeted with a smile.

Raynare glared at her for a second before she started sneering "...You think you've got me, but too bad. This plan was kept secret from the higher-ups, but there are other Fallen Angels with me. If I get in danger, they will..."

"They won't come to help. My friend here has already captured them." Rias answered looking at Vince.

"Lies!"

"Are you sure about that?" Vince asked as he brought in the three fallen-angels by dragging them with a water rope that held them tightly.

Rias turned to Raynare with a smirk as she saw her shocked expression. "When I met with the Fallen Angel Donaseek who attacked Issei before, I predicted that there were a few Fallen Angels plotting something in this town. I ignored it because I thought it was a plan that involves the whole Fallen Angel. Even I'm not foolish enough to take on all of the Fallen Angels. Then I heard that the Fallen Angels were moving around secretively so I went to talk to them, taking Akeno with me. When I met them in person, they blurted that it was their own plan. By helping you, they said, they would get promoted to a higher status. Low life that move around secretively for their purpose usually brag about their plots."

"Getting hit by a single shot won't even leave a trace. The princess of the Duke who has the power of destruction. Buchou is a powerful Devil who is called a genius among the group of young Devils after all." Kiba commented, praising Rias.

"She is also called the "Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess", you know?" Akeno said while smiling.

(Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess? That's a bit of a long winded moniker...) Vince thought as he sweatdropped.

Rias then looked intently at Issei's gauntlet. "...Red Dragon. Until recently there wasn't a mark like this... I see, so that's what it is..."

"Mind explaining what you just found out, Rias?" Vince asked folding his arms.

"Of course. Fallen Angel Raynare, this boy, Hyoudou Issei's Sacred Gear isn't a regular Sacred Gear. That's why you lost." She stated confusing Raynare.

"... "Boosted Gear", a Sacred Gear that is said to be the rarest of the rare. The Red Dragon mark on the gauntlet is the evidence. Even you have heard of that name before, right?" Rias explained.

"B-Boosted Gear... One of the "Longinus" ...Even though it's for a temporarily time, it's said that it has the power to surpass Maous and God... Are you telling me that hateful power is possessed in a boy like this!?" Raynare yelled in a shocked tone.

"If it's just like the legend is told, then the ability of the "Boosted Gear" can double the power of the possessor every ten second. Even if his power starts from one, it doubles his power every ten seconds, and it can reach the power of the leader-class Fallen Angels and High-class Devils. And by mastering it, he could even kill God." Rias explained shocking everyone with the exception of Vince.

"That's it, just doubling power twice? I'm a little disappointed. I was expecting a Longinus to be more impressive." Vince spoke shaking his head, surprising everyone on how he dismissed the Sacred Gear.

"Well, no matter how powerful it is, Sacred Gear which needs time has a big risk. There aren't any enemies that would wait for the user to get stronger. Since the opponent was taking it lightly, this was the outcome. But still, you shouldn't dismiss a Longinus like that Vince." Rias answered as she shook her head.

"The more you describe it, the more troublesome I think it is." He replied rolling his eyes.

"But it's interesting. Just to be expected from my Servant-kun. Just like I thought, Issei is an interesting boy. I'm going to adore you even more." Rias said patting Issei's head.

"Regardless, I'll take it from here." Vince stated as he walked closer to Raynare. "I've been keeping an eye on you and your minions Raynare. All four of you will fetch me a pretty penny from my contractor. He's been wanting to get the four of you for a while."

Raynare immediately got scared, "A-Are you a bounty hunter!?"

"I'm a freelancer Raynare. But before I turn you in, I'll take the Sacred Gear you stole." He replied pointing a finger at her chest as a spark of blue lighting came from his finger.

"Y-You can't be serious!? This healing power is for Azazel-sama and Shemhaza-sama!" Raynare shouted at him.

Vince stared at Raynare in the eye, "I honestly don't care what you want that power for. I only care for one thing at the moment and that's getting my job done." He extended his hand at Raynare, as blue sparks of lightning surged around his palm. "At the moment, that Sacred Gear you have is in the way of my job and I'll have to remove it."

"That looks like fun." A voice spoke.

Everyone looked to see Freed appear from the shadows with a grin. "Wow! My superior is in serious danger! So what's going to happen now!?"

"Save me! If you save me, I will give you a reward or anything you want!" Raynare shouted Freed.

Freed then smiled sadistically at her. "Hmm, hmm. I received a wonderful order from an Angel-sama. Eh? So I can have sex with you? To me, having sex with an Angel-sama is like the best honour and it will become a good social status for me."

"Ku... D-Don't fool around and save me!" She said angrily.

"You're really pathetic if you're asking him for help." Vince spoke causing Raynare to glare at him.

"Ararararara, you know that I'm actually serious... I mean, something simple like that should be all right, isn't it, Angel-sama? So it's a no? Is that so? Then I will take my leave now. No matter how you look at it, I'm at a disadvantage, so I will just take off." Freed said laughing.

Vince tuned out the rest of the conversation as he kept a close eye on Raynare with his hand, close to her stomach. (I don't see a point why I should pay attention to that stray exorcist anymore.)

After saying that, he moves his sight elsewhere, as if he has lost interest in Raynare.

Freed then makes a big smile at both Vince and Issei. "Issei-kun, Vince-kun. You two have such a wonderful ability. I'm getting more interested in you two. You are so worthy to kill! You are definitely in my Top five for the "Devils I want to kill", so be prepared, okay? Next time we meet, let's have a romantic fight to the death, okay?"

Vince immediately glared at Freed and shot a lightning bullet from his hand, piercing through Freed's shoulder. "Get your facts straight. I'm a human, not a devil."

Freed gritted his teeth in pain as blood poured from his wound. "Details, details. I don't care if you are a human or a devil. I want to kill you, it's as simple as that."

Vince shot another lightning bullet from his hand, grazing Freed's cheek. "Get lost."

"Tch. I'll have some fun torturing you before I kill you." Freed immediately disappeared into the shadows while holding his shoulder in pain.

"Now then..." Vince turned towards Raynare, "I'll give you one chance, give the Sacred Gear back, or else we're doing this the hard way."

"Hah, like I'll ever listen to demands of some human." Raynare said with a sneer.

"Okay, so we're doing this the hard way. Don't say I didn't warn you though." Vince replied as he cracked his neck.

"Ufufu, I can't wait to see what Vince-kun will do." Akeno spoke with a sadistic smile.

"Buchou, will Vince-san really be able to get Asia's Sacred Gear back?" Issei asked in a confused tone.

"I'm pretty sure he will, Vince always seems to be prepared." Rias answered with a small smile.

Vince created a lightning whip and tightly wrapped Raynare around it. He stood helped stood her up and smirked. "Like I said earlier, don't say I didn't warn you."

"The water is pressurized. So you'll most likely feel some pain." Vince channeled water into his foot and stomped into Raynare's foot, causing a loud popping sound to be heard.

"Aaaaargh!"

Vince quickly created a small water snake from his hand and shoved it into Raynare's mouth, causing her to gag a little. She coughed and glared at him. "What the hell did you do to me!?"

"I'm doing what I said earlier. I'm getting that Sacred Gear back with or without your cooperation." Vince stomped on Raynare's other foot with his water pressurized foot causing her to scream in pain and fall to the floor as the small water snake came out of her mouth. He quickly chopped Raynare in the back of the neck, knocking her out.

The small water snake splashed on the floor, causing two small sliver rings with blue-green gems to fall on the floor. Vince picked up the two rings and tossed them to Issei. "Catch."

"Thanks Vince-san." Issei caught the two rings and stared at them sadly. "Asia..."

"Issei."

"Yes?"

"Do you remember how you came back to life?" Vince asked looking at him.

"Yeah, it was because of Buchou and the Evil Pieces." Issei answered.

"Rias has a few spare pieces and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be a waste to use it on her, especially since she can here healing power isn't limited." Vince stated looking at Rias.

"Really?!"

"Yes, Vince is right. This girl's healing power could be useful as a "Bishop". It has never happened before, but I will reincarnate this girl as a Devil." Rias answered as she took out an Evil Piece.

"I'll be back. I'm going to go finish my job." Vince said as he dragged all four unconsious fallen angels with a water rope.

Vince walked down the stairs and entered in the basement of the church. He took out a blue cellphone and dialed on it. A few moments later he spoke up. "It's me. I have all four of them with me, they're unconsious."

Vince pocketed his cellphone and leaned against the wall. (Azazel should be here very soon. I gotta say this has been one hell of a day.)

A few moments later Azazel appeared from the shadows. "Thanks for the help Vince. You really saved me a lot of trouble."

"No problem. But you should have a word with them, especially Raynare. She really has a few screws loose." He replied bluntly.

Azazel chuckled at his blunt answer but nodded. "I will. They will get punished for almost causing an incident with the devils."

"Either way, don't worry about the payment. I'll just ask you later for a favor." Vince said to him.

"Sure thing. I have to go now, the Gremory girl and her peerage is waiting for you, later." Azazel took the four unconsious fallen angels and disappeared into the shadows.

Vince sighed in relief and took out a gray cellphone, "I think that went pretty well, don't you think Yume?"

[I agree. I'm glad that everything went so perfectly.] Yume commented.

"Yeah, at least now I can relax a little bit." He replied sighing a little.

[I'm proud of you for completing your first job as a freelancer.] She said smiling.

"Thanks Yume." Vince replied with a small smile.

[What are you going to ask Azazel-san to do, to pay you back?] Yume asked curiously.

"I have a few ideas in mind, but I'll have to think more about it later." He said with a shrug.

[Okay. Let's go back to the others, it's like what Azazel-san said, they are waiting for you.] Yume answered cheerfully.

"Right."

xXxXxXxXxX

Authors Note: The chapter was a little hard to write because I wanted it to be a bit unique. Hopefully I pulled it off, now for the explanations.

I decided to do the entire arc because I didn't see a reason in splitting the rest of the arc into another chapter. Plus, I'm sure everyone wants to move on to the next one.

Vince decided to make a temporary alliance with Rias just to make it easier on everyone to get rid of the fallen-angels. But after this, Vince will remain neutral when it comes to devil related business. Unless convinced otherwise or he gets a job from them as a freelancer.

I didn't want to make things boring so I decided to have Vince go with Rias and Akeno to deal with the reinforcements. Plus it was good for interactions. Also before anyone asks, it was easy for them to take out the four fallen angels because they planned in advice. Not to mention, Vince and Akeno's abilities works really well together.

That's all I have to say, let me know what you think about the chapter and take care.
