Chapter 5: The Rescue

(Location: Hajime's House)

Hajime is seen waking up from his alarm as when he did he is then seen getting up from his bed with a happy smile on his face while the sun shined on his face. After getting up he would then wake Asia up, get out of the bed, and when they did Hajime then went to Sarugami's cage.

After going to the cage he would then open it and happily say to both Asia and Sarugami: Good Morning, Asia. Good Morning, Sarugami.

Sarugami would only smile before getting out of the cage and climbing up on Hajime's shoulder. After all of that the trio would then go to the bathroom taking turns for as they take a bath and thankfully for Hajime his was much quicker thanks to his powers.

Next up, the trio would then wait for breakfast for as thanks to Hajime creating what looks like a chef made of energy constructs for as the chef was actually doing a good job while the trio watches some new episodes of Brooklyn Nine Nine to which they all laughed at.

After the breakfast was done they would then pray 1st before eating breakfast while the energy constructed chef would then dissipate into light particles while the trio enjoyed their food.

After eating, Hajime would telekinetically wash the dishes for as Sarugami is currently seen watching some anime while Asia and Hajime are seen changing into civilian clothes. Or rather, Hajime was using his reality manipulation for him to wear new civilian clothes while his previous 1 already went into his cabinet at his bedroom while Asia is given some clothes perfect for her size thanks to Hajime creating them.

Hajime is seen wearing a golden shirt with an arc reactor symbol on the chest while also wearing a red jacket as well as black trousers and white Nike shoes.

Asia however is seen wearing a civilian white dress with a long skirt that reaches her legs as well as wearing a sunhat as well as her cross.

Hajime would admit that Asia looks so cute and pretty while the latter actually loved her attire as she said: Thanks for the dress, Hajime. I love it.

Hajime would then say: Thanks. Glad you liked it, Asia. Now, are you ready to go?

Asia happily responded: Yep. Ready when you are.

And with that the 2 were on their way but right after Hajime looked at Sarugami and said: Yo Sarugami. I know I don't have to tell you but all I can say is take care of the house man. Also, if Asia were to ever arrive here via portal then make sure to hide her from anyone of those Fallen Angels. Got it.

Sarugami only did a thumbs up as when he did Hajime then said: Good. Also, have fun watching some Arifureta.

And with that both Hajime and Asia would leave the house as when they were outside the gate Hajime would then lock the gate while he then heard his house door being locked knowing that Sarugami had locked the door. After that, the duo would then walk around the street to have some fun.

(Location: Kuoh Town)

The duo are seen walking around town as Hajime shows her around the place to which made Asia in awe as she looks at so many stuff in Kuoh Town as she saw not only so many people being happy with their lives but also several shops and food stands selling so many delicious food.

Furthermore, the 2 would walk around the town as they could also see some people hanging out and enjoying themselves as she even saw some people looking like they were dating. It was a silent walk from there but Asia however was in awe and smiling while Hajime was happy to see Asia acting like a kid amazed by everything all around them.

As the 2 would walk around Hajime then asked: So Asia, wanna play some arcade games?

Hearing this Asia would then look up at Hajime as when she did she smiled at him and said: Sure, Hajime. I would love to play with you.

Hajime was happy hearing that as when he did the 2 would then walk around while Hajime said: Great, because I know a place so good that you'll love it.

They would soon walk around town as Hajime would escort Asia to a popular arcade place with arcade games. But as the 2 would walk they didn't realize that there was a young woman with blue long hair wearing both a white dress and sunhat as well as wearing orange sunglasses watching the 2 go around their day as she watches.

This young woman is none other than Kalawarner for as not only was she watching the 2 with a slightly jealous look but she watches in seriousness knowing that she & her sisters must monitor them.

But as Kalawarner watches she then said in her mind: I wish I was having a date with Hajime.

Meanwhile, the duo would walk around town but as they would Hajime then saw a gaming convention as he said: There it is.

Hearing this Asia would then look at the place as when she did she was so awestruck of the size that it amazed her.

Hajime would then break the silence as he says: Yep, it's quite big but wait till you see the place.

As he said so the 2 would then enter the place as when they did they Asia is then met with quite a sight. The building was not only filled with people but several video games are seen being played as well as several cosplayers are seen walking around the place or taking selfies.

Asia was so amazed that it even brought a smile to her face as she saw that everyone is also having fun. Hajime would then happily say: Now come on, let's have some fun.

Hearing this Asia would then break out of her stupor and follow Hajime for as when she did she then started following him while the latter would escort the former as he gives her a tour around the place. The convention was so big that there were at least hundreds of people present for as some are seen looking around while others are either taking selfies with cosplayers or playing video games.

As the 2 would go around the convention they would then go and meet some cosplayers as they take selfies or even greet with them. Asia was even greeted with 3 cosplayers dressed as Elven Priests from Warcraft 3 as when she did both Hajime and Asia would take selfies with them. After the selfie the 2 of them would continue on their way.

Hajime would then lead Asia to a dancing game as when they made it there Hajime would go all gamer fanboy as he would rush into the game and play it. Seeing this Asia would then see Hajime starting up the game as when he did he then finally starts it as when he did then saw the counter from 3... 2... 1...

As the game finally started the music then finally started as it was 1 of Hajime's most favorite songs.

(Music: Macklemore - Can't Hold Us)

As the music and song started he then started to move accordingly to the arrows but to everyone's shock it was all fast thanks to Hajime setting it up on the most hardest difficulty. And so Hajime would start to dance by both the rhythm and arrows as he moves his feet and even started doing some of his own dance moves.

Asia sees his dances for as when she did she was quite impressed of such dances as Hajime danced and danced as the game progress. Asia was so awestruck that she didn't realize that more people were coming to watch the whole thing but fortunately for her she was at the front.

Behind the crowd is a raven haired girl wearing a gothic lolita outfit while holding several cards with her for as she is a cosplayer trying to look like Celestia Ludenberg. But behind the costume was actually just Mittelt disguised as a cosplayer knowing that she had to spy on both Hajime and Asia as well before proceeding with the plan.

However, when Hajime danced in the game it wasn't what she had expected for as just like Asia she was quite shocked and surprised as she was in awe at seeing such moves in the game as Hajime kept dancing and dancing.

Meanwhile, Hajime didn't have to worry about using his powers for as he was already a pro in a game like this as when he went on and on he then finally finished it with 1 final dance and then crossed both arms as he finished.

(Music Ends)

As he finished it the results are then shown as when it did it showed Hajime not only having no mistake made in the dance game but also breaking the world record with him being number 1. And then suddenly sounds of cheering is then heard behind of Hajime as when he heard it he then looked back to see so many people cheering while Asia was laughing nervously. Hajime also laughed nervously while scratching the back of his head.

After that whole event he and Asia would then go around the convention with him buying some cute accessories for Asia to which she liked and then after that Hajime is seen playing even more video games but mostly all of them being RTS Games as when he played he was so good he was able to beat several players as he build his base, train his troops, upgrade everything, and even deployed his workers into battle to construct some production buildings to further overwhelm the enemy base.

After that the 2 would then go around more until a grumble is heard to which Hajime then looked at Asia and asked: You hungry?

Asia only shakes her head a little until another grumble is heard to which made Asia blush in embarrassment that she covered her face with her hat. Hajime only giggled a little and then said: Don't worry, Asia. This place even has a food court as well. I can take you there and we can eat some food.

Hearing this both of them then went to the food court as when they walked around they then made it and with that said and done Hajime and Asia would sit in a 2 person table as they sit opposite next to each other as when they did they both then waited for the waiter while checking the menu for anything they can order.

The waiter would then approach them and ask: Good Morning, you 2. What would you both like for today?

Hajime responded with: I would like to have some of your cheese pizza with hot sauce on it but don't worry because I'll pay for the whole thing. Also, you can give us some sodas as well.

Asia would then respond with: I would like to have some spaghetti please. And maybe some of these parfaits for the 2 of us.

And with that the waiter listed their order and left after saying: Very well then, I shall have your orders be served to the chefs. Have fun you young lovers.

After the waiter left Asia was blushing after hearing what the waiter said while Hajime was just confuse as to why they were called that but he then broke the silence by saying: Hey Asia.

Asia's stupor/blush was broken and then looks at him as Hajime continues: Remember that 1 time when Amy tried to make Terry solve that 1 puzzle via donuts?

Asia then giggled at the mention of that as she even said: Yes, it's quite funny seeing the muscle man eating the puzzle rather than solving it.

Hajime even giggled as he then continued: I know right. It's like eating your test paper.

Both then laughed at this for as it was quite true. The reason why Asia loved having this conversation was because when she 1st watched Brooklyn Nine Nine it was a show that had made her laugh as well as 1 of the things Hajime watched with her like a family. The jokes were so funny that it made her happy as it cheered her up after explaining her origin story to Hajime despite already knowing.

Fortunately for her, Hajime faked a surprise to which she bought since Hajime didn't want her to know that he had looked onto her backstory out of curiosity. And fortunately for Asia she never knew of Hajime causing karma to every church members that deserved it and speaking of the racist assholes they are still suffering lots of instant karmas and bad lucks for all of their actions as Hajime is still using his power on them.

As the 2 laughed they then started talking more about the episodes of Brooklyn Nine Nine as they discuss about their favorite parts. Asia even said: I even remember that 1 time when Jake literally outsmarted his boss at Halloween. I even laughed at the part when his boss planned for a 2nd heist as well.

Hajime then said: I mean, it is Halloween Heist so for that they love doing it.

Asia would then ask: Wait, there's more?

Hajime answered: Yeah. And it became a tradition to the 99th Precinct as the season progress.

Asia would then say: That's amazing. Then maybe we can watch more of their cool heist plans too. Also, which 1 was your favorite episode?

Hajime would then put his hand on his chin thinking on which 1 until he then said: I think almost all of them.

And so the 2 went on and on about Brooklyn Nine Nine as when they do Asia even said: The Vulture guy was so mean, bad, and scary.

Hajime responded with: That asshole. Don't worry because that guy is just played by an actor. But if someone acts like him in real life then I won't hesitate to take him down because he's toast.

As they talk more they even went with their personal life but mostly Hajime as he sadly tells her his story: Back when I was young, I always wanted to become a person who wants to make the world a better place. I also wanted that and when I did tell my parents about it they encourage me to do so. But when I was at least 11 years old me and my parents were heading home that day and we were actually happy. Unfortunately for us our car was then ran over by a speeding truck and when we did only I survived but unfortunately for my parents and the driver they were all killed even when we made it to the hospital. The doctors were able to save me but not my parents and from that day on I was alone. I was so alone that the only thing I could do everyday was both cry and lost hope as well as become more aggressive because everytime people tried to provoke me I ended up beating them up as well as giving me the urge to kill them. Thankfully I didn't go that far but even so it was affecting my morals until my heroic morals faded. Sure I am still the same guy who wants to make everything better but even though my dream is heroic doesn't mean I am 1. Hell, I don't think like I am hero. Regardless, I will still do my best to protect the world and with this power I could do it.

As Hajime kept talking he never noticed a small tear coming out of his eye while Asia was sorry for Hajime for as she never knew he had suffered a lot during those days. Asia would then come out of her chair and hug him as comfort and soothingly say both comfortingly and motherly: Don't say that you aren't a hero. You saved both me and those people that day. I may not know of your actions but I do know that you have saved so many people with your power and I think that's enough to call you both a hero and a good person.

As Hajime hears this he would then hug her as he would even have another tear dropping on his other eye but as he would then bury himself in Asia's chest and cry while she strokes his hair comfortingly while says: There there, let it all out. It's okay. Even if you lost your parents you still have me and Sarugami. We'll be your family.

And with that Hajime cried for a few seconds until finally recovering. After that Asia would then return to her seat and asked: Oh wait I forgot to ask, when did you meet Sarugami?

Hajime would then answer: Oh right, I forgot to tell you. Anyways, remember when I said I was alone?

Asia nodded while Hajime continued: Well, that was when I thought I was because as weeks went by a doorbell was then heard through my door. And when I opened I saw them. They claimed to be friends with my mom and dad and they said they were my aunts. After hearing of what had happened to my parents they weren't able to attend the funeral because they were too busy in Tokyo dealing with something important to which I understood. At 1st I was cautious but when we all bonded we all became like family. Heck, 1 of them was a mother and both her daughter as well as her daughter's friends became my childhood friends from that day on. But as my 12th birthday came he then finally came to my life.

As Asia listened in on this she was happy knowing that people came to Hajime's life and made him happy. But when Asia then listened to the 12th birthday part she then guessed: Sarugami?

Hajime nodded before continue: When my birthday came I was them gifted a Capuchin Monkey from America knowing that I love Primates and Primates are fascinating and badass. Anyways, with Sarugami in my life he was more than just a pet... He was a brother to me. When I became 15 both me and Sarugami were now capable of living with ourselves and wherever my aunts are I believe that they are doing good in their job and I hope them good luck.

After telling Asia of his story she was happy knowing that everything worked out in the end as when he told her more of his story on how it went from shit to better. Asia believed that Hajime never deserved such a harsh past before and she literally thanked God for making it better for him in the end. She knew that God would never abandon everyone and she thinks that God saved Hajime of his suffering.

But as a few seconds went by their orders then came as when it was finally there both of them would say: Itadakimasu!

And with that the 2 would eat their lunch as when they did they were quite impressed and happy of their food. Hajime is seen eating his pizza with lots of hot sauce for as he always loved his food spicy hence why he literally covers his pizza with hot sauce. Asia could only nervously laugh seeing Hajime's behavior now knowing of how much Hajime loved pizzas.

Meanwhile on another table a teenage girl wearing what looks likes a long hooded black dress and a cloak behind her back and a flower tattoo on her forehead in the sign of House Dimitrescu. And yes, from her look she is cosplaying as Cassandra Dimitrescu but behind the disguise is actually Raynare listening to the duo and when she heard of Hajime's story the only thing she felt was pity.

At 1st Raynare wanted to tear Hajime to pieces due to him ripping her leg off but somehow all that anger and vengeance slowly faded but was still there. She was angry at him but yet she still felt pity at such origin now knowing of how much Hajime suffered.

After lunch time, Hajime and Asia then went around as Hajime even played 1 more RTS Game as when he did several players were defeated by him as he played and planned his units as well as strike the bases at the right time. In the end, Hajime would win lots of things with him carrying a stuff bear for Asia to which she loved. After that both would walk away to head to the park as Hajime and Asia are carrying some bags.

(Location: Kuoh Town, Park)

As the day becomes noon and then afternoon the duo would then walk around in the park as when they did they would be doing nothing much like buying cotton candy, watching some people having fun, and then sitting on a wooden bench as the 2 enjoyed their day. As the 2 sat down they were then talking about stories of themselves but only this time the less tragic parts as Hajime talk to her about Sarugami.

Hajime would then say: So yeah, there was that 1 time when Sarugami had to take a dump here in the park so we went into a bush to which he then quickly finished but then we saw a guy literally point a gun at some couple and tried to mug them.

Asia curiously asked: And then what happened?

Hajime answered: And so Sarugami and I decided to help and when we did I tried to sneak behind him while Sarugami threw his surprisingly big poop shaped as a ball into the guy to which landed on his head causing him to be blinded while I on the other hand disarmed the guy from behind and took him down myself while the couple called the police. Thankfully my aunts trained me to Kung Fu and Krav Maga and the whole training paid off. Now I mastered them and I thank them for it. This whole thing happened when I was at least 13.

Asia could only giggle and playfully say: Gross. Sarugami really threw poop at him?

Hajime answered: Yeah. And thankfully the cops arrived on time to arrest the guy while I was thanked by the couple. Furthermore, I told my aunts about it and they were all quite worried and proud at the same time. They even laughed when I told them Sarugami threw poop at the mugger. Speaking of the mugger the police had to wash off all that poop out of him. Thankfully I didn't get any poop since I just disarmed the mugger and went for his legs and when I did he fell as his head made contact with the ground knocking him out.

Asia was so amazed that she even imagined it but as she did she somehow imagined Hajime in his Iron God Form using martial arts protecting her while fighting several Fallen Angels. She doesn't know why but she just imagined it so she shook her head and was now focus on Hajime again.

As the 2 would talk they would then watch as everything looks so peaceful for as when seconds became minutes more and more people started leaving the park leaving the 2 of them. As the 2 were left alone Asia then broke the silence and say: You know, Hajime. I had fun. And I was happy to actually meet someone as amazing and kind as you are.

Hajime then looked at her and sadly responded: Thanks, Asia. But the problem is I'm not a good person nor am I a kind 1. Hell, I am a failure to everything and I don't deserve to even exist.

Asia would then say: But you are a good person! And don't ever say you're a failure because you're not! Even when you are not a heroic person you are still a kind person who wanted nothing more than to save others! And just because you have flaws doesn't mean you are a failure because sometimes even failures can lead us to success! It's not about your whole character that makes you a good person, it's about your deeds! And I believe that even with flaws and failures you can learn from it and be better! You have saved me and humanity so no matter what happens I am always happy that I have met you and I don't regret being together with you.

After saying that Hajime would be wide eyed until he would then smile with a tear on his eye while Asia would then be the same thing as when they looked at each other they're faces were suddenly getting closer as if they were about to kiss. The 2 were so distracted they didn't realize what they were about to do but before they could kiss Hajime's senses then kicked in as his whole body then moved on its own as he stood up from the bench, point a palm forward, and then create an energy shield to which blocked 3 Light Spears coming to kill both he and Asia but mostly Asia since Hajime was immortal.

Asia would then notice this too for as she came back to reality seeing Hajime shielding both of them from 3 incoming Light Spears. After that both of them realize that the enter area is covered in a Dimensional Space for as no 1 will come to help them. Not that Hajime has to worry for as the only ones infront of him were only Raynare, Kalawarner, and another who doesn't recognize which is Mittelt.

Asia would then get up and hid behind Hajime while the latter looks at the trio and say: I knew there was something bad going on. So, how long have you been planning to spy on us and land a surprise attack? Especially when you girls have been spying on us all the way from Kuoh Town to the Gaming Convention.

This caused the Fallen Angel Trio to go wide eyed as when they were they then smiled as Raynare said: Quite impressive, Iron God. However, as much as we want to tell you but we believe that Asia is needed for our master's plans.

Hajime could only scoff at giving Asia to them and then said: Too bad for you 3 I ain't just giving her to the 3 of you, nor Hide-And-Seek, nor creepy/ugly Priest Man.

The trio already knew of this so for that Kalawarner then said: It matters not. Either way, we get what we want.

And with that said the trio then transformed into their Fallen Angel Forms with them wearing the usual outfit they had worn while Hajime could only light up his hands as well as float up with his feet off of the ground. As Hajime got himself ready he then said: Asia. You get back home, I'll deal with them.

Asia worried said: But Hajime--

Hajime then interrupted by saying: Do it. And don't worry, I'll be fine.

Hajime would then create a portal to his left to which Asia hesitantly entered as when she did she is then back in Hajime's House while Sarugami could only go to her as the portal closes. Back to Hajime he looks at the trio and then transformed preparing himself for battle.

As he becomes Iron God Kalawarner would then say: I'm quite impressed, Hajime. You were actually to bring Asia out on a date and you didn't even realize it.

Iron God responded with: I know not of what you're talking about but I will make sure you will all die for working with the people who made Asia suffer.

Mittelt would then say: So this is the guy you dated, Kalawarner? To be honest, I prefer his human form since he looked more cuter. But then again, that form looks shiny.

Raynare would then say: Anyways, if you give Asia to us then we might spare your life or maybe even every human here.

Iron God answered with: There's no way I'm giving you Asia. Nor am I gonna let all of you kill anymore innocent humans.

(Music: Airbourne - Firepower)

And with that said Iron then fired a Repulsor Ray to which made the trio split up and take to the skies while Iron God then flew up as well with him flying around with the trio as they shoot energy based projectiles at 1 another trying to hit their respective enemies.

Iron God flies as he dodges several Light Spears as well as fire Repulsor Blasts from all sides as the trio dodges his shots while throwing Light Spears at him to which are all either dodged, tanked, or blocked. All of them would then fly around from 1 place to another throughout the park as he dodges while also shooting and blasting some blasts of his own. Some Light Spears were hit to which caused them to disappear while some were even caught to which Iron God either absorbed or threw.

Mittelt would then look at Iron God's rear thinking that he was wide open so for that she charges with her Light Spear attempting to impale him from behind but only for Iron God to teleport out of sight and reappear behind Mittelt. Mittelt would've been blasted if it wasn't for Raynare to fly to her and push her and thankfully for Raynare she was able to dodge the blast but it did shot a piece of her feathers but not enough to destroy her wings.

And with that Iron God would then fly away while the trio chases him for as the whole battle then turned into an aerial dog-fight as Iron God flies and circles around the park while the trio throws light spears at him to which he dodges with each spear not even hitting him.

But after flying and dodging he would then suddenly decide to fly backwards fast as when he did the trio were so surprised for as they didn't think that Iron God would do such a thing but thanks to their surprise Iron God then fly backwards at a fast rate and with the right timing he then turned around and suddenly delivered a powerful clothesline at Kalawarner to which sent her flying down to some trees.

Raynare and Mittelt would then see this and with the Iron God close to them the 2 would conjure their respective Light Spears to which they used in an attempt to swing at Iron God but only for him to just teleport out of sight and come back behind Raynare but only this time he was holding a tree on his right shoulder until finally swinging it right at the duo sending them flying into the same place as Kalawarner.

As the duo crashed landed right to where Kalawarner would be the trio would then get up but using Light Spears to support them as when the finally gotten up Kalawarner was laughing quite madly yet happily. Raynare and Mittelt didn't know why until Kalawarner excitingly said: Come on girls! Let's get in there again!

With that said Kalawarner would sprout her wings yet again as when she did she then took to the air while the 2 had no choice to do the same as when they reached the sky Iron God was holding a Minigun with a bullet belt connected to a big drum strapped on his back and speaking of the Minigun it looked like a Vulcan Minigun to which he then used to fire a barrage of 20mm bullets at them as the trio only dodged the incoming bullets knowing that Iron God can create weapons deadly enough to kill gods with Weapon Creation.

(Location: Hajime's House)

Asia is seen praying while sitting in the couch as she prays to God for Hajime's safety knowing that he is out there doing the right thing. Sarugami however only guards the house from the inside as he looks at every window to see if any intruder would dare come in. But as Sarugami looks outside the window of Hajime's room he then saw 2 people outside of the front gate with 1 of them having a stoic face while the other had a sick, maniacal, and ugly smile.

(Location: Kuoh Park)

Iron God is seen on the ground shooting his Minigun all around the park as several trees and walls were being destroyed while the trio were forced to take cover but only this time most parts of their bodies had holes in them but with Raynare being worst for as her left leg was destroyed thanks to a bullet from before. Kalawarner however had holes on parts of her body but unlike Raynare she was missing only a right hand while Mittelt had a few holes but hasn't lost a limb yet.

While the firing continued Raynare would then painfully shout: Goddamnit! Not again!

Kalawarner would then say: He's so damn powerful! I knew he was my type~~

Mittelt would angrily say: Really?! Because I don't think now is the time to actually fall head over heels on god that's literally trying to kill us! But then again, he does look quite cute! Wouldn't you agree, Raynare?!

They would then look at Raynare and when they did she would then say: Fine! He looks cute, handsome, and quite miserable!

Mittelt then asked: What do you mean by that!?

(A/N: Also, reason why the kept shouting with "!" Is because they are currently under heavy enemy fire so for that they can't hear each other normally)

Before they could get answer the Minigun then stopped firing as when it did the trio then wondered as to why as when they did they then looked to see Iron God suddenly missing from their sight. This confused them as when they got out of the tree with Raynare only being helped by Kalawarner thanks to their wings having holes in them disabling their flight as they looked to where Iron God used to be. They had no idea where he had went so for that the trio had to be cautious so for that they conjured Light Spears just in case of something bad happening.

Until suddenly... They felt their wings beings telekinetically pulled up with them in it as they don't know what the hell was going on but before they could process the whole thing someone then suddenly ripped their wings off in a quickly swoop and only in 1 hand as they felt their wings ripped out of them causing the trio to SCREAM IN PAIN (Anyone who gets why I've put SCREAM IN PAIN in big letters would get the reference and once they do get it they get cookie).

With their wings suddenly ripped off they all shouted and screamed in pain while falling to the ground in pain. As they fell they then slowly tried to get up on all fours trying to do a crawl position and when they did they then see Iron God suddenly teleporting infront of their vision with him holding 6 Black Wings with 3 being on each hand before throwing them to the sides.

(Music Ends)

After all of that, Iron God would then start to walk intimidatingly at the trio while the trio were all ok the ground trying to crawl to strike him but only for that to fail as they were too weak to fight. Iron God would then stop walking as he points his right hand at them as he telekinetically lifts them up and then sends them flying into 3 trees backs 1st as when their backs hits each tree not only were they impaled to their chest by the branches but the back to where their wings formerly were caused them pain as it made contact with their backs.

The good news was that all of it wasn't enough to kill them thanks to them being Fallen Angels but bad news for them is that they were feeling lots of pain and they knew that Iron God would finish them off himself. As Iron God walks to them he then stopped as he got closer looking and observing them as the trio had no way of getting out.

After Iron God observes them he would then say with hatred: You 3 have been known for killing several Sacred Gear Wielders who were none other than innocent humans who knows not of it. Yet you kill them all with no mercy. For that, you shall all pay with your life!

Saying this he would then raise his hand forward as he points his Wrist Cannons at them ready to finish them off with his Cosmic Repulsors. Iron God knew not a lot of Sacred Gears but he did however just kinda found about them during his fights with every encounter against Fallen Angels knowing their history via Empathy and Information Analysis as well as some Telepathy and knowing more of what they do made his blood boil as his rage and hatred became even higher. Back to reality he is just about to kill the 3 of them not quickly but rather he loves doing it slow and painful, especially to those who kills innocent lives as he readies himself.

Just when Iron God was about to fire Raynare then started to weakly laugh a little as Iron God then ask: What's so funny?

Raynare then weakly answered: Oh... I don't know... It's just the fact that... Not only are you still learning more of your powers... But the fact that... We have been nothing more than bait...

Iron God then asked: What do you mean?

Raynare answered weakly: It's the fact that you use Telepathy... Yet you don't even bother using it to read the minds of others' plans yet but instead... You use it to know their history instead... And besides... We weren't trying to beat you... We just needed to distract you...

With that said Iron God then finally uses his Telepathy on Raynare to which made him read her mind as when he did he is then wide eyed finding out the whole plan. The reason why Hajime never uses most of his powers all the time was due to the fact that not only he thinks that a portion of it is enough but also because he wants to hold back rather than end everything too easily.

With Iron God being shocked he ignored the trio as he then suddenly used his super speed to run away from the the Dimensional Space while it fades slowly.

(Location: Hajime's House)

When Iron God returned to where his House would be he quickly transformed back to human just in time before the Dimensional Space could disappear as when he finally returned he then notices his front gate being destroyed and so was the front door as if a robbery had happened. And with that he then ran his way inside as he looks around while hey repeated saying: Please be okay, Please be okay, Please be okay, Please be okay, Please be okay, Please be okay...

But as he entered the house he saw it all ruined with several furnitures and things being destroyed with his stove on fire to which he telekinetically turned off. He would then look at every room trying to look if Asia or Sarugami were around as when he looks on he then decided to run to his room and when he did he then prepared himself as he mentally counted from 1 to 3 but as he opened the door he is then shocked of what he saw.

A small dead animal was on the ground. Not only that but it's chest looked like it was cauterized by some kind of laser with its back on the floor and the dead was so recognizable that Hajime knew of whose body it was... Sarugami.

Seeing this Hajime was shaking all over as he looked like he was tearing up as he slowly approaches the body with him being both sad and traumatized as when he approached the Capuchin he would then go on his knees as when he did he then put the dead monkey in both his hands on the dead body as he raises him forward to his face.

Seeing this Hajime couldn't say anything at 1st until he then shouted 1 name: SARUGAMI!!!!!!

The shout was filled with both sadness, grief, despair, anger, hatred, and loss. He was so focused on fighting that he had never realized that his own brother and his new friend were in danger. Asia was no longer around meaning that she had been taken while Sarugami was here, dead I'm his arms as Hajime cried and cried not even caring if anyone heard him or not as he shouted an cried.

Hajime had thought that when he had this godly powers he had thought it would be as fun as becoming a superhero. However, reality had its own dark reality showing 1 of the most horrible experiences life has to offer... Loss. He had failed. He felt like a failure. He felt he had failed everyone in his life. His mother, his father, his brother, and most of all... Asia. He was not able to save everyone. He had loss everyone he ever cared for. And life felt like it was being cruel towards him.

He cried and cried as he had failed everything. He had failed everyone. He had failed the planet. He also wished that life would've been easier but fate was cruel to make life cruel. Despite his smile in truth he had always suffered more than anyone. Especially the losses. He felt he had failed to be a protector, a saviour, a hero, a god, a human, a friend, and a son.

He was now in despair as he had always thought of committing suicide the day his parents had died, and he believed that it was only a matter of time before everyone he held dear were gonna disappear. Until suddenly a memory Asia's smile went into his vision.

He was wide eyed until suddenly he remembered words coming from Asia: But you are a good person! And don't ever say you're a failure because you're not! Even when you are not a heroic person you are still a kind person who wanted nothing more than to save others! And just because you have flaws doesn't mean you are a failure because sometimes even failures can lead us to success! It's not about your whole character that makes you a good person, it's about your deeds! And I believe that even with flaws and failures you can learn from it and be better! You have saved me and humanity so no matter what happens I am always happy that I have met you and I don't regret being together with you.

He remembered those words at the park as when he did it onto motivated him slightly as he then puts Sarugami down and got up. As he did he then remembered his promise to Asia when he saved her that no matter what happens he would always protect her and he will make sure she never suffered again. His new mission now was to save Asia but before that he then looked at his hands as he contemplates until suddenly... A memory of the Original Iron God resurrecting people played in his mind. Not only that but when he attempted to resurrect Issei it nearly worked only if it wasn't interrupted.

Therefore, he had now thought of a solution to help Asia. He would then look down at Sarugami's dead body and when he did he then closed his eyes and then suddenly several more memories of the Original Iron God using a lot of his powers on several situations played in his mind and with all of that he would then open his eyes, point both hands at Sarugami, and then fired 2 beams that would then hit and lift Sarugami.

(A/N: While I was writing this part I went further into the battle but because of some stupid lag it got erased to the point that I was so mad I nearly lost all motivation to keep writing this part. If you'll ever be disappointed for the rewritten version of this part then I'm all ears because I am quite angry and disappointed right now.)

As it does said beam would then engulf Sarugami as it covers him fully. However, thanks to getting more memories of how his powers work Hajime then decided to experiment as he starts to not only resurrect Sarugami but he is planning on something more.

As the whole process continues Sarugami would then be engulfed in a bright light to which would then cover his entire body as it glowed more and more until it became so bright that it not only made the whole house glow but it also engulfed everything as it then finally covered everything forcing Hajime to cover his eyes.

After all of that Hajime would then look down as when he did he is then both wide eyed and jaw opened in both shock and surprise.

Laying on the floor in Sarugami's place is a tan-skinned boy with short spiky light-blonde hair and dark-gray eyes. He wears two red wrist bracers over black fingerless gloves and an open loose-collared white jacket with no shirt underneath, displaying his muscular physique. He also wears blue cargo pants tied up with a white belt. He wears white bandages on his legs and has a chain hanging from the belt loop on the right side of his pants. Furthermore, He sports black and yellow sneakers and wears a twisted golden necklace around his neck.

As Hajime looks on in surprise his stupor would then be broken as a groan is then heard from the blonde teenage boy. Said boy then slowly opened his eyes as when he does he looks around only for a little bit until his eyes looks at Hajime. After that he would then slowly stand up a little and do a monkey sitting position as he looks at Hajime and ask: Hajime? What happened?

Hajime would then be broken out of his stupor for as when he did he then ask: Sarugami?

Sarugami then said: Yeah? Why?

And with that Hajime would then hug Sarugami and say: You're back! You're finally back!

As he said that Sarugami could only ask: Hajime? What's going on?

Hajime only answered: Nothing, it's just that I brought you back.

Hearing this Sarugami then ask: What do you me--

Before he could continue he then started to realize everything as he realizes 3 things. 1.) He can see his hands being human, 2.) He is capable of speaking, and 3.) Hajime could understand what he was saying as when he realized this he was so happy that he hugged Hajime back and lifted him up as he stands up. The 2 were rejoicing Sarugami's return as the 2 hugged so hard they would've literally crushed each other but if it wasn't for the fact that they were gods they were okay. Speaking of which Sarugami and Hajime then broke the hug as Hajime would then tell and show that not only has he resurrected Sarugami but he also used his powers to not into turn him human but also bestow him power similar to Hajime but is only 25% in power level.

From that point on Sarugami would then use his powers to not only shape-shift from his monkey form and human form but also turn into a Were-Monkey as well as used Energy Construction to construct an energy chainsaw on his tail.

However, this all had to end shortly as they would realize that Asia had been taken and Sarugami telling Hajime that during his death he had overheard Ugly Priest Man and Van-Helsing Rip-Off taking her to an abandoned church to take her powers and Hajime remembered which church so for that the 2 would then get up, use their powers to fix all of the damages in the house 1st, and then get themselves ready for a rescue mission.

(Location: Abandoned Church, Underground)

Meanwhile under the Abandoned Church's Underground place Asia is seen restrained on a cross being guarded by Raynare, Mittelt, and Kalawarner for as they were assigned to guard Asia while they all guard the church knowing that the ritual can't proceed for as they know Iron God would come in to kill them all.

The reason for Asia being restrained of this ritual is because they want to absorb her Twilight Healing all for themselves to which will kill her in the process to which they cared not. But when Asia was alone with the trio Kalawarner would then ask Asia of how life is living with Hajime as she would then answer by telling them everything she knows of Hajime and why she was quite sorry for him. She even told them of his kind nature despite his brutality and sheer rage for as even though his mind is that of an Anti-Hero doesn't mean that he was a bad person as she cared for him and she even told him of how much she had fun living with him and wished to be there for him.

Hearing this made the trio quite shock and amaze if Hajime's life as well as the Hell he had went through and now they realized that when they remembered Freed saying about killing his pet monkey only made them realize that even if the ritual succeeds or not it could only doom them all. Even though they are enemies of Hajime but they still admitted that no matter how brutal he was towards them they then understood that he was only trying to protect everyone he cares for, humanity included.

And seeing Hajime's smile they saw actual kindness and innocence in him but when he becomes Iron God all they see are eyes of a man with so much frustration that they now realize why he was even more brutal. Sure Hajime was brutal because these Fallen Angels had done nothing more than kill innocent people as he fights them not only to protect and avenge humanity but also because he was finally letting everything out.

Without anyone seeing Asia and the trio would make conversations about Hajime for as Asia would tell them that she believes there is good inside of everyone and she knows that Hajime would understand and learn to forgive if given the right time.

(Location: Outside Of The Abandoned Church)

Meanwhile Hajime and Sarugami are seen walking to the abandoned church like badass men ready to confront whatever final boss is inside as when they both arrived they then saw 2 Fallen Priests who are guarding the doors as when they approach the duo 1 of them asked: Hey! Who are you 2?!

Hajime and Sarugami could only look at each other, nod their heads, looks back at the Fallen Priests, and then lands their respective uppercuts to the 2 Fallen Priests as the uppercuts were so strong it literally sent their heads flying into the air for said heads have been ripped out of them while the headless bodies stood there like statues.

Hajime would then transform into Iron God while Sarugami turns into a Were-Monkey as when they did Sarugami would then approach the door with his long tail already constructing an energy chainsaw and shouts: FBI OPEN UP!!!

And that shout Sarugami then kicks the doors as the force was so powerful the doors not only exploded but those close to it were sent flying as they were turned into pieces while those far from it then notices it and then looks to see 2 figures walking out of the smoke and into the church.

(Music: Mick Gordon - The Only Thing They Fear Is You)

And with that the figures then reveals themselves to be Iron God and Sarugami as when they showed up every Fallen Priests prepped their blasters and lightsabers while Iron God and Sarugami lit up their hands with cosmic energy as they all glare at each other preparing on which 1 will move. As they all waited The Fallen Priests then started firing but only for their lasers to not do a single damage but when Iron God fired it disintegrated a few Fallen Priests while Sarugami then started charging as when he gotten close he just dodges or blocks the lightsabers while also slashing and killing some with his energy chainsaw tail.

Iron God focuses on range as he floats and follows behind Sarugami and shoots anyone from front, left, and right while the latter started running on all fours like a monkey while also dodging shots and is even slashing and cutting everyone who got too close as the 2 would venture around the place. The scenery looked like a video game for them for as when they were trekking and fighting throughout the church everything looked like a Diablo-esqued Video Game as the duo would go from 1 place to another as well as killing even more enemies while healthbars are seen on the screen with the 2 of them having an individual Starcraft 2 hero healthbar style as they go around the place. Every fight they had was more like a massacre for as several mutilated, decapitated, and dismembered bodies are seen on the ground with even a few organs and intestines littering the ground.

After trekking and fighting they would then make it to a middle looking place and in the middle there are several pathways everywhere as they both then look around for any place for them to go. But before they could decide they then sensed an army of Fallen Priests incoming from all sides as when they heard it the 2 would then use Creation to create not only sandbags to surround the 2 but also create 2 KPV Heavy Machine Gun Turrets modified with shields around the guns as when they did they were lucky that they can cover all sides at a 180° as they then see an army coming.

Iron God would then shout: You all wanna play rough!

Sarugami then added in a shout: Okay then, let's all play rough!

And with that the Fallen Priests army then got them surrounded as they finally arrived only for Iron God and Sarugami to smirk and then shout: Say hello to our little friend!

And with that they would then fire a barrage of 14.5mm bullets in the vicinity as they fire all around the place with holes being made throughout the church's interior while also painting everything in blood as the 2 would fire so many bullets that they were literally painting the corridor with blood, guys, organs, entrails, and dismembered body parts as everyone around them gets killed all around as the duo kept shooting everywhere killing everyone around them.

Every Fallen Priests that tried to shoot them or get close were all wiped out instantly while some that even dared to shoot couldn't land a hit for as their shots only hits the shield as the 2 kept shooting and shooting while also shouting in excitement and enjoyment.

As this goes on Sarugami shouts: Eat lead motherfuckers!!!

As they went on and on so many more were being killed as they were being destroyed left and right as they would keep shooting and shooting. After minutes of endless shooting the 2 then stopped shooting as when they did they then look at the surrounding area around them for as the whole corridor they were is is covered in a lot of blood as well as some entrails, guts, organs, innards, and dismembered body parts as they have laid wasted to everyone around them.

After everything the 2 would then unmanned their turrets and get out of the sand bags as when they did Iron God then decided to use his powers to sense Asia and when he did he was finally able to trace her location to which he then told Sarugami as to where. And with that the duo would then make their way to Asia as they would take the route to the front which was opposite to where they had come from to go to the middle corridor.

(Music Ends)

After that the duo would then start to go around the place still battling a few Fallen Priests killing them as they would both then keep on for as thanks to their Godly Physiology they had infinite stamina but as they kept making their way to Asia they then stopped to see something ugly infront of them.

Dohnaseek is infront of them while in the other is Freed yet different. He had a massive body, thick arms and legs, and sharp fangs coming out of his mouth. He also had a single bat wing and an extra arm coming out of his back. And from what he looks like he had become a Chimera even more uglier than what he looked like before.

Freed then creepily said: Hello there, Shitty God. And it seems you brought yourself a friend. Anyways, like my new look?

Sarugami only responded with: Geez, this guy looks way uglier than The Forgotten One from Warcraft 3. And just like The Forgotten One I already wish I can forget this.

Iron God then jokingly asked: Why bother becoming even more uglier when you were already ugly before?

Hearing this made Sarugami snicker and then go into full on laughter as well as shouting: OOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

While Iron God created an energy construct of Supa Hot Fire and others to where they shouted the same thing while Iron God falls back while the constructs catches him. Dohnaseek was only irritated for them not taking the situation seriously while Freed was behind angry of the insults that he shouted: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? DO YOU THINK YOU'RE FUNNY!?

Iron God then joking answered: I'm not funny.... I'M HILARIOUS!!!

Iron God would then laugh but his voice however is similar to that of Annoying Orange.

Sarugami then said to Iron God: Nice.

And with that the 2 would then do a fist bump to which irritated Freed more as couldn't take it anymore so with that he then growled ready to kill them both while Dohnaseek could only sigh in exaggeration and then in relief knowing that the fight can continue. Iron God then readied himself for a fight until Sarugami then blocked his way by putting a hand on his best friend's chest and said: No. I'll take it from here. Besides, I want payback anyways.

Iron God only nodded before going turning intangible and passing through the 2. This only leaves Sarugami to fight the 2 as he then revved up his energy chainsaw tail while also holding 2 IWI Tavor 7s on both hands getting ready to battle.

Freed then ask: So, ready to die you little shit!?

Sarugami answered with: That's what I'm supposed to ask you. Especially when I'm gonna give you the taste of Karma.

Dohnaseek then interrupted and shouted: Enough talk! Let's fight!

(Music: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - I'm My Own Master Now)

And with that Dohnaseek and Freed charges in 1st as when they gotten closer they then tried to hit him at the same time but only for Sarugami to jump up and flip forward as when he was in mid-air he then started shooting bullets at the 2 as this forces the duo to block the attacks but with a few scratches being left. After that Sarugami then landed on his feet, turned around, and then started shooting more barrages of bullets to which the 2 turned around and d try to block or slice as many energy bullets as they could until Freed started charging forward and then swings his bag arm to Sarugami's side.

Unfortunately for Freed Sarugami suddenly jumped to which not only dodged the attack but he also transforms into a Capuchin Monkey, floats in mid-air, and then flies forward with his right foot forward and surprisingly for Freed the kick was so strong it sent Freed skidding into a wall as he hits it back 1st with some rubble falling on him.

Sarugami then transformed into his Were-Monkey Form once again as he lands on his feet while Dohnaseek was shock but his stupor was broken when an energy chainsaw nearly sliced his face as he dodges in time. And with that Dohnaseek with his Light Spear ready and charged. When he gotten close he then swings the spear only for Sarugami to just stand there while his energy chainsaw tail blocks the attack. Dohnaseek tries again but is then blocked once more. He then tried again but the results were the same.

And from there Dohnaseek then conjured another Light Spear in his other hand and when he started swinging Sarugami kept blocking and parrying with his energy chainsaw tail as this went on and on as they trade swings with them blocking or parrying.

This went on and on until Dohnaseek then decided to swing both spears in a downwards swing to which is then blocked by Sarugami's tail once again. The 2 were stuck in a blade lock while sparks are seen on their respective weapons. But after that Dohnaseek then pulled his Light Spear in his left hand away and when he did then then stabbed Sarugami to the chest.

Sarugami reels back a bit while Dohnaseek thought he had won until suddenly Sarugami lunged forward and then stabbed Dohnaseek with his chainsaw tail. Dohnaseek was surprised but was even more shocked when he saw Sarugami casually and easily yanking the Light Spear out of his chest like it was nothing but what's more is that there was no hole in his chest.

Dohnaseek then weakly ask: But... How?

But his only answer is being bisected by Sarugami's energy chainsaw tail. After that Freed then gets up as when he did he then started charging at Sarugami with fury and hatred as he reels his right fist back and for Sarugami to calmly stand there reeling his fist back ready to punch as well.

As the 2 of them reeled their fists back Freed then finally gotten closer and closer as he charges and when he did both of them then did a punch as when they punched their respective fists collided to which caused a shockwave that destroyed every window inside of The Abandoned Church. After that their fists were still connected as if trying to push forward and trying to overpower the other as they do so. But after a few seconds a crack is then heard but it didn't came from Sarugami but rather it came from Freed himself for as not only his fist had been broken but it then exploded into nothing more than blood.

After that Sarugami went further as he literally drills through Freed's arm destroying it little by little as it explodes into pieces until Sarugami's fist then made contact with Freed's face as the punch was so hard it sent Freed flying to his previous rubble crashing to it once again but only this time his face was more disfigured thanks to the punch.

(Music Ends)

After that Sarugami then slowly approaches Freed's location while the latter was in so much pain as his face has been disfigured while his right arm has been destroyed beyond repair and when he saw Sarugami walking to him with a menacing aura the only thing he could do was use his feet to try to crawl backwards in fear while his other hand was grabbing some rocks or stones throwing it at the former but only doing no damage to him whatsoever.

As Sarugami walks to him menacingly he then said in an intimidating and menacingly playful way: What's wrong? Too afraid of a single monkey? Especially 1 that you had killed before?

Freed was wide eyed that Hajime's pet monkey he had killed is none other than this guy infront of him. He only killed Sarugami not only because he was trying to stop him but also because he wanted to payback and thought that killing a pet of Hajime could be an example if he ever tries to take something from him. However, what he never realized is the fact that Karam is always a bitch and now Hajime brought his monkey back to life as a menacing and powerful Demi-God. He may not know of Hajime but all he knew was that Sarugami is Iron God's pet monkey and how he knew that location was because he didn't know where but when he saw Asia he knew that it would be Iron God's house.

Sarugami then slowly approaches Freed with his hands engulfed with cosmic energy and said: By the way, didn't your mother ever tell you that you're ugly? So let's make that face a little prettier.

With that said Sarugami would then construct energy chainsaws from his hands ready to kill Freed while the latter could only try to crawl back in fear but before the former could get closer he is then attacked from the side by a Fallen Priest. The Fallen Priest would then tackle him down to the ground with his lightsaber ready to kill him while Sarugami only used 1 hand to stop and thankfully he wasn't the 1 struggling because The Fallen Priest tried to plunge his blade to Sarugami but failed until suddenly the Fallen Priest is then stabbed by Sarugami's free hand and then bisects him.

After that Sarugami would then stand up as when he did he then looked to where Freed was but only to see him already gone. Seeing this he cursed: Shit!

He cursed due to the fact that the guy whom he wanted to kill got away but he knew that 1 day he will meet him again and when he does he would then finish the job. Sarugami then wondered: Hmm, I wonder what's Hajime doing?

Meanwhile, Iron God is currently walking down the stairs to the underground levels while the stairs and the door to it as well as outside of the door is littered with blood, guts, innards, entrails, organs, and dismembered bodies as well as ashes seeing that Iron God had yet again brutally killed an army once again.

Once he makes it down to the ground he sees something that both shocks and angers him. There she was, Asia, restraint on a cross looking weak and unconscious while a few Fallen Priests have started the ritual while Raynare, Mittelt, and Kalawarner are seen standing next to the Fallen Priests guarding them. The reason for this was because when the Fallen Priests showed up the trio stopped their conversation with Asia while the Fallen Priests then proceeded with the ritual. As much as it saddened them but their mission is quite important to them so for that they had to complete it.

Iron God was so mad he then angrily ask: What have you monsters done?!,

Raynare then explained: The ritual has already started and now the Fallen Priests here are already taking Asia's Sacred Gear. Once that's over we'll be able to have it.

Iron God then angrily ask: And yet you monsters cared not of her well-being!?

Kalawarner then answered: It's quite unfortunate and regrettable but our mission is important or else our master will have our heads if we don't. But hey, once that's done we win even if you kill us. And you only have a few seconds to save her and even if you take us down you'll be too late anyways because even if you try to rescue her will stop you even if we lose. Now, what will you do?

Iron God didn't answer that but instead he raised his hands forward, telekinetically lifted the Fallen Priests, and then he suddenly snaps his fingers to which made The Fallen Priests all explode into a pile of blood to which made the trio wide eyed.

What's more is that because of that action it stopped the ritual and when it did it made all 3 of them shake in fear knowing that they were screwed. After that Iron God would then telekinetically take off Asia's restraints to which made her fall forward but Iron God was able to teleport to her location and catches her.

The trio would've used this chance to either attack from behind or fly away but due to fear it felt there was a force telling them not to go as they tried to move. Iron God however looks at Asia to see her being near lifeless as if she was gonna die. He then begs: Please Asia. Wake up.

He tried waking her up and when he tried to shake her it was no use for as Asia was there looking like she had died. Seeing this made his blood boil as he gently puts Asia down, stands up, and quickly turns around with a hateful and vengeful glare at the trio.

The 3 of them were in so much fear they didn't know what they were gonna do. Mittelt then said in a sacred voice: Hey, hey, hey. Calm down... We can all... Talk about this... R-Right?

Iron God didn't say anything for as before anyone of them would know it Iron God suddenly teleported from behind them as he quickly rips off all of their wings knowing that they had healed them thanks to coercing Asia. It made Iron God's blood boil while the trio screamed in pain until they are all then telekinetically lifted up and before they knew it they are then telekinetically slammed into a wall.

But instead of being satisfied Iron God then decided to telekinetically slam them everywhere as he went on and on as he continues this until he then used his telekinesis to slam them together into a group and then slam them down to the ground.

Iron God didn't let up for as his rage was so high he kept on the pressure as he then decided to use his powers to fire electricity right at the trio as he lowers it's lethality wanting them to suffer a slow and painful death for doing it on Asia.

Iron God then angrily shouted: You enjoy the deaths and suffering of every innocent humans you've killed! Non did then deserved such fate yet you made that happen without care in the world! Hence why you shall all die a torturous death!

The underground section is filled with nothing more but screams of pain and agony as they all start to feel so much pain that they wishes their deaths should've been quicker. When hearing Iron God's words they then suddenly remembered every wrong action they have done thanks to Iron God using his powers to not only torture them physically but also mentally by showing their wrong deeds and repeating it over and over again because that way they could suffered and die with pain and regret and also because it felt right for him to just force them to remember these stuff so their suffering can last long and knowing that they will die with no longer a chance to redeem.

During the torture death the trio were even tearing up a lot as they saw all of it while their minds kept shouting and begging for him to stop. Meanwhile, Asia's lifeless body is seen on the ground until suddenly her finger started twitching a little until suddenly she then fully wakes up. But what made her stand up quickly was seeing Iron God torturing Raynare, Mittelt, and Kalawarner torturing her captors to death.

She knew that even if it was a sensible move to kill them just to save her didn't meant that they deserved such a fate. And with little strength she had she then stood up and started to slowly walk to stop him until she then finally started running.

Iron God was so focused on torturing his enemies to death that he never realized Asia waking up but as he went on he then suddenly stopped shooting electricity when someone ran infront of his sight and block him. When he saw who had blocked him he sees Asia with her arms raised to the sides while she was having tears in her eyes.

Iron God was quite shocked but he didn't show it thanks to his stern and stoic look. He then replied: Asia? What are you doing?

Asia then beg: Please, Hajime! Don't do this! I don't want to see you torturing someone to death for my sake!

Iron God then ask: But they hurt you?

Asia then continued: I know how you feel! But please! They don't deserve to suffer like this! I understand they took people you cared about away from you but I don't want this! I know you're not a hero but I know that deep inside you're not a monster either! So please! Spare them and let me heal them! And maybe we can help them!

Hearing this Iron God was now in a dilemma and felt a bit of little shame. Sure he wanted to avenge Asia but he then realized that this isn't what Asia would've wanted. And with that he then transformed back into his human form and said with a tear in his right eye: Go. Save them.

With that Asia then started healing the trio back into their healed selves and when she finished the trio were now dumbfounded and surprised that Asia of all people would heal them but only this time it is with her own choice rather than being coerced. After that she would help them up until when they saw Hajime they then slowly backed up in fear.

Hajime then said: Relax. And know that I only spared you 3 because of Asia. But I will consider killing you all if you do something like your actions again.

After that the trio would then look at Asia in surprising knowing that she is the reason for them living and when they learned of this they then suddenly hugged Asia while thanking and apologizing to her to which Asia answers by forgiving them.

After that they would release the hug, looks at Hajime, and then bows down as Raynare then said: We thank you for your mercy, Iron God.

Kalawarner then continued: From now on we shall follow you no matter what.

Mittelt then said: And we promise we won't betray you.

Hearing this Hajime then thought about it and then said: Fine, I'll turn you 3 into my Heralds along with Asia if she wants but do know that if you betray me I will kill you all.

And with that he would then use his Power Bestowal as when he did they trio are then suddenly covered in a bright light until finally fading and after it faded they were now glowing with the same aura as Sarugami but albeit only 5% in power level with only a few powers and abilities that fits them. Hajime would then ask Asia if she would like to as well as warned her that if she were to ever become his Herald then she will have to work for him.

Asia would then say yes and when she did she is then turned into a Herald as well. After all of that they then heard footsteps and when the person came down the stairs it revealed to be Sarugami in human form but Asia nor the trio knows of who he is.

What Hajime then said was shocking to Asia as he said: Hey, Sarugami. How was payback?

Sarugami walks to Hajime and responded with: I killed Van Helsing Rip-Off but Ugly Priest got away. Goddamn that Fallen Priest who tackled me. Thankfully I killed the guy who tackled.

As he walks he would then stop as he sees the trio and ask Hajime: Why are they still alive?

Hajime responded with: It's a long story.

Asia would then tug on Hajime's shirt and ask: Umm, Hajime? Why is Sarugami human?

Hajime then nervously smiled as he scratches the back of his head and said: I'll explain on the way. Right now we gotta go home because I think it's already night time.

Hajime would then create a portal as when he did he then entered 1st while Sarugami then entered next after saying: Hey, Asia. Welcome to Iron God's Heralds Club.

And with that he crossed inside the portal while the rest does the same thing.

(Location: Hajime's House)

After Asia and the trio went to the portal the trio were then amazed of Hajime's House for as never would they thought that his house would look like a villa in the inside as when they entered Hajime is seen standing and welcoming them while Sarugami was preparing a DVD and it was Brooklyn Nine Nine.

Hajime then said: Alright, I'll set up the house rules tomorrow because for now all I can tell you guys is that my energy chef is making dinner for all us and while we wait I think it's fair if we watch something fun and entertaining. How does that sound?

And with that they then had to agree knowing that it was Hajime's House so for that they had to follow his rules. Hajime would then sit down on the couch with Sarugami to his left while holding the remote as they both sit in the middle while Asia sits to Hajime's right while Mittelt sit to Sarugami's left. Raynare and Kalawarner would sit in the couch as well for as it was surprisingly able to fit 6 people at once.

And with that Sarugami played the show and from there on the house is filled with laughter as they watch Brooklyn Nine Nine.

(Time: Next Day)

(Location: Kuoh Academy Classroom)

In the next day Hajime is seen sitting down in his chair while also listening to some of his favorite songs as when he does he then saw the teach arriving so for that he was able to put his things back to where they belong as well as listen.

When everyone was settled the teacher then announce: Alright class, we have 5 new students for today and I hope you all greet them nicely. Now, you may all come in.

And with that the 5 students arrived as when they did so many boys minus Hajime and Issei were ogling at the 4 new girls while the girls were actually blushing seeing another blonde handsome boy I'm their school. Hajime would then look to see them introducing themselves as Asia Argento, Yuuma Amano, Mittelt Amano, Kala Amano, and Samuel Williams (Sarugami's disguise name).

After the introduction Hajime would then stand up and ask: Sam?

Sam would then look at him and ask: Hajime?

Everyone would then look at the 2 in confusion as to how they know each other until the 2 would then run to each other in a happy way and do a bro hug as they do things on how happy best friends do after reunion. After the whole thing everyone including Hajime went back to their respective seats as when they did Hajime then noticed Issei looking at Yuuma but not out of perversion but out of fear as he was shaking in fear as well as full of shock and surprise.

Hajime would then say in his mind: Oops. I forgot about that.
