Koneko dove behind the same pillar and was giving him a look of mild concern before he waved her off with a slight flinch.
"I'm fine, just not used to my new speed yet." He whispered, taking care to not draw the attention of the Stray.
She nodded in understanding. "Stay safe." She whispered with her finger over her lips, moving behind the pillars and stuck to the shadows, preparing her own assault on the Stray.
He ignored Issei's cry of "This is a porno I don't wanna be in!" as Rias brought the pervert near him, "Be careful you two, I don't want either of you involved in this battle." She made her way to the main battlefield, leaving her two new Pieces together in the back.
Lelouch leaned against the pillar as he stared across the room, curious how Rias would handle herself in a combat situation.
"Kiba." Rias ordered and the blond boy seemed to know exactly what she wanted as he manifested a sword by his side, drawing it, and charging the Stray almost in the same motion.
Lelouch looked on, impressed at the blond's form as he managed to score a good hit on the Stray while she was distracted somewhat firing her ridiculous, yet still dangerous attack.
He had managed to sever one pair of her arms entirely, the blood splatter coating the ground as a result of the monstrous body that made up the Stray's lower half losing its arms.
The Stray screamed incoherently, before searching for another target.
Rias began to explain that he was a Knight, granting him a speed boost which, when combined with his skill with a blade, made him an incredibly dangerous attacker.
Lelouch agreed wholeheartedly with that assessment, impressed with the blond's technique.
'Not a single wasted motion.' He frowned slightly as he realized that wasn't entirely true. 'Except for that pose just before he struck.
' Kiba would need to break that habit before it got him injured, there was no time to be posing on the battlefield unless your enemy was totally defeated and even then, it wasn't a good idea.
Dramatics weren't always the greatest strategy.
He noticed that the Stray's attention was quickly turned on Koneko, causing a spike of worry to shoot through him.
He made a break to tackle her out of the way while Issei wasted time shouting at her to move, but she looked at him and shook her head slightly before she got swallowed by the Stray's lowest mouth. He stopped in shock at what he had just seen.
"Koneko." He muttered as he walked slowly close to where she had been standing, feeling a cold sensation begin to burn at the center of his chest the greater his rage became. But Rias' voice drew him out of his angered state.
His eyes widened and he sighed in relief as soon as he saw the mouth shaking open with Koneko forcing it wide.
"She's alright." He muttered absently as he scratched the center of his chest, feeling the cold sensation stop burning.
'Strange.' He ignored the weird sensation and watched Koneko use her immense strength force its lowest mouth wide open.
Her wide eyes were lit up with a spark of happiness, though her clothes could be in a better state considering he, and everyone else, could see the lemon colored underwear she had picked out.
It was a battle though so clothing damage was practically a given considering Kuoh uniforms weren't meant to be that durable.
Lelouch just smiled at her, happy she was still okay.
She smiled back slightly, apparently forgiving him for his slight over the weekend, before adjusting her grip on the Stray and, to Lelouch's surprise, punching it.
"See you on the flip side." He chuckled at her snarky comment, as he watched the enormous Devil quite literally flip as it crashed through a pillar.
She landed next to him and spared him a quick look, brushing off her sleeves. He just patted her on the head slightly, brushing off some dust as he said,
"I got worried. Glad you're okay." He whispered looking down at the petite, yet powerful Devil.
She flinched almost as soon as he touched her head and Lelouch noticed, he slowly moved his hand from her head.
'She's shivering.' He noted, as he also saw her eyes wide in reflexive panic before she composed herself.
He knew signs like that, and he wondered who had hurt Koneko in the past to make her fear physical contact like that.
He knew it would be a bad idea to get distracted by something he could find out later however as he turned back to where the Devil landed. "Nice punch.
" He complimented, making sure to avoid bothering her any further. He decided to pay attention to the last part of the battle, having tuned out Rias and Issei during his slight panic over Koneko's predicament.
"Akeno, finish up." Rias ordered her Queen. Lelouch was surprised to hear the noticeable change in tone from the normally bubbly Akeno. "Oh, is it my turn now?" Her voice trembled with a dark excitement.
"I do so love this game!" She declared with a twisted giggle as she walked to the Stray that had been disarmed by Kiba's blade, defanged by Koneko's punch, and nearly knocked unconscious by the pillar she had flipped into as a result of Koneko's strength.
As she was doing that however, Issei saved Rias from being impaled by the severed arm of the Stray by attacking it with his Sacred Gear.
Lelouch and Koneko turned around to watch and both were surprised at the force behind Issei's attack as it managed to divert the arm's path away from Rias. Unfortunately for the pair, it ended up flying towards them.
Lelouch's eyes flashed before Koneko stepped in front of him and conjured a shield, deflecting the arm away from the two of them.
He had reacted reflexively, despite having no idea what his new power could do in this situation, and the cold fire in his chest burned again.
