Chapter: 7

Chapter 7:

It was a week later and I was sitting in the penthouse with dad and Nezu. The latter was looking extremely excited that I would be proving dimensional travel was real. He had set up a bunch of fancy electronic equipment all around the room to try and record or measure the dimensional travel when I vanished. I'm not sure how successful Nezu would be, but I figured it wouldn't hurt for him to try.

I was dressed in my new superhero costume. Nezu had UA's support department commission it early for me. It's not like the HPSC could stop me from wearing it in another world after all. My costume was a red-gold combo and made of a tough but comfortable synthetic material that was very form fitting. Just the way I had requested it. I was a realist. I knew that in order to get popular as a female hero in this world, you needed to have a skimpier costume. My body was bullet proof anyway, so it's not like I needed to wear armor anyway. Most villains didn't even use guns anymore. Guns actually made villains look weak to others if they couldn't get by with just their quirks.

"Are you sure about this Akane?" Dad asked me for what felt like the 10th time.

"Yeah, I don't think there's really even an option to back out anyway. That chat system sent a message saying we'd be forcefully transported when a mission commenced. I can't throw the student phone away either because everytime I do it teleports back to me…" I responded. I had put the chat groups' phone indestructibility claims to the test. They held true. Even with my full strength I could bend or snap what felt like an ordinary plastic smartphone. Dad even took the thing outside and hit it with one of its signature smashes. It went flying off into space before a second later teleporting back into my pocket.

"I for one can't wait to hear all about the new universe you'll be visiting? Will there be aliens? Will they have space travel? If they're more advanced than us, remember to bring back a piece of their technology, Akane!" Nezu fervently demanded. I told him no problem.

DING!

An alert went on my phone.

[System: Prepare to depart for your first missions. ETA one minute.]

[Plus Ultra: Let's do this!]

[Birdbrain: Here we go I guess…]

[Ice Queen: Whatever…any world, I can get away to, is better than this one.]

[Miss-Know-It-All: Uggh I only had time to pack 10 outfits! I hope it's enough!]

[Edgelord: …]

I looked away from my phone before turning back to my dad and Nezu. "Well this is it, I'll see you guys later. Hopefully this 'mission' won't take too long." I said.

Dad looked sad before he changed his expression and gave me his signature smile. "Good luck Akane! Go be the hero I know you can be! Even if it's in another world."

I just gave him our family's large signature smile right back. And with that I vanished in a flash of light.

"Ok, that felt weird!" I called out as everything around me stopped spinning. My eyes were also temporarily blinded and slowly getting their clarity back. I forgot how bright the flashing light was when the chat group phone first appeared to me. It was that same bright light that just transported me…

"OW! My eyes! I didn't even know there was a light bright enough to hurt them!" Another voice called out next to me. I turned and looked at who it was. It was a short but very beautiful girl. She had short red hair and was dressed in what looked to be designer clothing.

"You aren't kidding. I'm not feeling the aster right now!" A younger sounding male voice spoke out on my other side. I turned and my own eyes widened in surprise at who I was looking at.

"Robin!? Like the actual Robin!?" I spoke out loud.

The young sidekick turned and looked at me when I called out his name. He had a smug grin on his face. "I see my reputation precedes me. It is indeed I. Robin the crime fighter deluxe that criminals all over Gotham fear!"

"You have got to be shitting me…" Another voice called out. She was also staring at Robin in surprise. She was another beautiful young woman who looked to be the same age as me. She had blond hair and green eyes.

"Hn…" A quiet sound came from right behind me. I jumped a little in surprise at that. I spun around and saw–

"Really… Ok you are one hundred percent Edgelord. There's no doubt about it." I said as I made contact with someone who could only be Sasuke Uchiha… The Shippuden Sasuke Uchiha. He was wearing his iconic half open white shirt and his baggy purple pants along with that weird rope belt thing.

"Edgelord?" Robin spoke out next to me as he spotted another boy in our group.

"Hn." Sasuke once again didn't speak and only grunted.

"Okay! Why don't we all introduce ourselves first before we figure out where we are?" The first girl I'd spotted spoke out. "I'll go first. My name is Alice. I don't know my last name as I don't remember it. I'm Miss-Know-It-All. Okay you next she said as she pointed at me."

"I'm Akane Yagi." I said. "I'm Plus Ultra."

"I am Robin! One of Gotham city's protectors… Also I'm Birdbrain." He mumbled that last part. He clearly didn't like his assigned handle.

"I'm Emma Frost. I'm Ice Queen."

"..."

We all collectively turned to the last one here who didn't introduce himself yet. Our collective staring seemed to wear him down eventually.

"Tsk…Sasuke Uchiha. Edgelord." He grunted out his handle.

Now that we'd all introduce ourselves, I looked around at where we were. We were in some kind of dark and abandoned warehouse. All the windows were smashed and there was broken glass and trash scattered all around.

"Well isn't this place just lovely." Emma said sarcastically.

"It's not so bad, I raid places like this all the time with Batman." Robin replied as he started looking around. I'm not sure what he was looking for exactly but he was inspecting everything closely.

"Maybe we should check our phones and see if we got any instructions. We don't even know why we're here yet." Alice suggested.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and checked it.

[System: Welcome to the world of DxD! This world is on the path to ruin as a random god granted an evil transmigrator a wish, so they could forcefully take possession of one of the main character's bodies! If left to their own accord, this world will be destroyed in the future! Your mission is to purge the transmigrator from this world!]

"What's a transmigrator?" Alice asked.

"It's like a body snatching ghost." I replied. In most stories, they only take over a body after the original has died, but this doesn't seem to be the case here.

"So we'll have to perform an exorcism of some kind to save the person." Robin said.

"Or we just kill the body snatching freak!" Sasuke actually spoke out his voice was laced with hate. That was the most emotion he had shown so far. Oh right, he was currently around 16, so if he was following his world's plot he would currently be with Orochimaru or had just killed him. No wonder he didn't like transmigrators…

"We can't just kill them!" Robin looked shocked as he responded. "There's an innocent person who's been possessed. We have to save them!"

"Ok, but how?" Alice asked.

"I can do it." Emma said. We all turned to her as she spoke. "I've dealt with Mutants before who could possess other people. I've even had one try and possess me. I can psychically purge the intruding consciousness from the person provided we can locate them. It might injure the host's brain if they struggle, so it's best if they're unconscious when I do it." Emma explained. She seemed pretty confident with herself. I hadn't read many Marvel comics in my past life, but she seemed to be pretty in character. What I found a bit odd about this Emma Frost though, was that she looked tired… and a bit ragged. Her clothes looked like they'd been worn for a long time and her cheeks looked sunken in from a clear sign of lack of food.

Something was clearly wrong with her situation and I'd be sure to talk to her later about it in private. I didn't want to call her out in front of the group.

"Alright then everyone." I called out and they all looked at me. "For now, why don't we leave this gross warehouse and check the surrounding areas." No one protested as we moved to the large warehouse doors.

"Ahhhhhhhh… you're all leaving so soon? Please don't go. I've never had so many morsels show up at once before, after all." A creepy feminine voice called out from within the warehouse. It sounded sinister and all my instincts were telling me to not let my guard down at whoever that was.

"What the fuck!" "Disgusting!" Alice and Sasuke called out at the same time. The both of them were staring into the darkest corner of the warehouse. Sasuke's eyes were red as he had activated his sharingan. They could both clearly see something there that I and the others couldn't.

"Awe…you spotted me and spoiled my fun. Oh well, I was getting hungry anyway so I suppose it's time for my next meal." The creepy woman spoke again from the shadows as she moved forward where we could finally see her.

I almost gagged at such a disgusting monstrosity. This was clearly a stray devil! She was an abomination that clearly took inspiration from the mythical centaurs. Her upper torso was bare naked and human enough looking, but her lower body looked like a combination of a giant centipede/monkey hybrid.

"What the hell is she!" Robin had lost his earlier bravado as he looked a bit frightened. He pulled out a metal staff from behind his cape and held it in front of himself prepared to fight.

"That's a stray devil," I explained in disgust. "They're basically the generic monsters of this world that eat people. We'll have to deal with her permanently." I said with some steel in my voice. I'd never killed before, but I knew it was inevitable as a hero. At some point in the future I'd have to. Even my father, the paragon of justice, tried his best to kill All for One. Some people were just too dangerous and evil to let live.

"Uggh, her mind it's so vile and disgusting…" Nearby Emma clutched her head. She had just tried to read the monsters apparently.

"Yeah, I suggest not reading the minds of monsters in the future. It's best to just put them down." I said as I took a step forward. "Why don't you guys step back for a bit. I'll handle this monster."

None of the others except for Sasuke looked like they wanted to protest. He clicked his tongue before taking a step back so I could fight the stray devil.

"Oh, you're approaching me on your own?" The stray asked me. "Looking to die so quickly!?"

"Of course I'm approaching you. I can't hit you if I don't!" I said as I walked towards the monster.

"As If I'm afraid of a regular human! I am the powerful devil Viser!" She stared at me with a wild look in her eyes as she licked her lips. That would have been hot if she wasn't so disgusting.

"I'm no regular human… I'm a hero!" I declared as my next step cracked the floor beneath me as I rocketed forward towards her at high speed!

"What the hell!?" The stray looked panicked as I appeared right in front of her faster than she could react.

My arm was already drawn back before I rocketed it forward and delivered a powerful punch to her disgusting mutated body! I heard something snap as her centipede torso caved inwards where my fist met her flesh.

CRASH!

Her body, which must have weighed a few tons, was lifted off the floor as she was sent flying right through the wall behind her.

I immediately followed her outside through the hole in the wall. So did the other chat group members behind me. We really needed a proper name for our group.

"Oooooow… it hurts. You bitch!" Viser spat out blood from her human looking mouth. I saw that my single punch had done significant damage on her lower torso as it was warped and caved in.

"What the hell is going on here!" A random shout from a voice I hadn't heard before drew my attention.

I glanced over to the side and my eyes widened at who was before me. It was the main cast. Rias Gremory and her peerage were in front of me…in their school uniforms for some reason. I know they always wore them in the show, but it was clearly night time right now. I guess we had arrived here in the early episodes where they dealt with this stray themselves.

"Oppai! Look at those glorious Oppai! …Although the rest of the monster girl looks really gross..." The 'main character' of this world, Issei Hyoudou, spoke out. From the way he shouted 'Oppai' loudly, I figured that he was not our mission target. 'Oppai' was such a cringe word to say. There's no way our transmigrator would be shouting it loudly. Or would he?

"Do you all mind waiting there for a second? I've kind of got a thing going on right now." I asked as I pointed to the injured but pissed off stray devil.

"How dare a filthy human ignore me! Ill kill you!" As she shouted that, acid shot forth out of…her boobs. It was incredibly slow moving to my reflexes and I easily stepped out of the way before it reached me. Despite being such a stupid looking attack, that acid was actually dangerous as it immediately melted through a few inches of solid concrete on the ground.

"Did she just shoot acid from her…" Robin asked out loud. He was too embarrassed to say 'boobs' which was adorable. Even Sasuke was looking embarrassed as his face was red and turned to the side.

"The word you're looking for is Oppai!" Issei shouted out once again.

"Don't use that word around him, Robin's like 11!" I scolded the perverted protagonist. Everyone else present also glared at him when they realized there was a child nearby.

"Sorry." Issei looked down, embarrassed.

"I'm not 11! I'm 12!" Robin yelled out indignantly. As if that actually made a difference…

"Stop ignoring me!" Viser screamed out. As she tried to fire her boob acid at me again. Once again I side stepped it casually. I'd had about enough of her at this point though. She was literally a useless villain who only existed to show off the original cast's powers after all.

"I'm ending this now!" I shouted out.

To the shocked looks of the Occult Research Club, I sped over towards Viser before leaping a dozen feet into the air, where her human-ish torso was.

"SMASH!" I delivered a punch to her at full power this time! The air around my fist actually ignited from the friction! When my punch made contact, Viser's entire upper body evaporated as it was simultaneously blown away. It was honestly kind of gross to watch in slow motion. Needless to say she was thoroughly dead…

The air exploded where I made contact and a huge concussive force of air kicked out that shook everything nearby!

"Holy Shit!"

"Oh my goodness!"

"Unbelievable!"

The nearby devil teenagers were shouting in astonishment from that display.

"Holy shit Akane! You're insanely powerful!" Alice shouted out excitedly as she was hopping up and down in glee. "Our mission should be super easy if you can do that!"

"Hn. That wasn't bad I suppose." Sasuke, the teenage emo half heartedly added. The fact that he said anything at all must have meant I'd impressed him. I could have done better though. I had actually expected my first punch to kill the stray but her mutated body proved far more durable than I had expected.

Rias Gremory, herself, along with a beautiful Japanese girl, who could only be Akeno Himejima, walked over to our group. "Ok, now that the stray is dealt with, I demand to know who you are and what you're doing in my territory!" She pointed at me and tried to look stern.

Instead of responding immediately though, now that I got a good look at her. I just found myself staring at her face. It was just absolutely perfect. It had to be her devil genes at play because she was flawless and breathtakingly beautiful.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Rias asked with a blush on her cheeks.

I gave her a smile. "I'm sorry, you're just so beautiful that I got lost staring at you for a moment." I replied to the gorgeous redhead.

"Wha–" Rias looked flabbergasted at my response. Next to her, Akeno started giggling. I found my eyes being drawn to her as well. She was just as gorgeous as her king was and her body and face were sculpted to sinful perfection.

"Ara see something you like?"

I just gave my best attempt at a sultry smile to her in response.

"Stop flirting with them, Akane!"

"We have a mission to attend to remember!"

Behind me Emma and Robin simultaneously scolded me. I turned and gave them an apology. "I'm sorry alright. But in my defense… Just look at these two!" I pointed at the still blushing Rias and the giggling Akeno.

"Ara, thank you so much for the compliment. It's nice to be appreciated sometimes." Akeno replied.

"Y-yes it is." Rias added. "But your still dodging the question," she pouted cutely. "Who are you all and why are you here?" Her tone was much less demanding this time. It seemed all I had to do was give her some truthful compliments to make her much less hostile towards us. I could tell she was still rightfully suspicious though.

I took a deep breath. "Were a team of interdimensional traveling heroes, each from our own world, that have arrived at your own to stop an evil transmigrator, who has probably possessed someone you know, from leading your world to ruin. My name is Akane Yagi. It's nice to meet you, and can I get a picture with you?" I exhaled after saying all of that in one go. I then pulled out my phone. This was the main cast of DxD in front of me. Of course I wanted a photo with them!

Akeno's eyes widened at my statement as if I'd just said something crazy.

Rias temporarily froze up as she tried to process what I'd just blurted out rapidly to her. After a second though, her eyes started sprinkling in excitement as she gave me a big grin. "Join my peerage!?" She exclaimed to me!

…

"No."
