Chương 394: Preparing to return PT 2

CLANG CLANG CLANG

On one of the floating islands within Asora, a metallic banging echoed throughout someone's workshop as a certain Devilukian labored away on her next invention.

Dressed in a comfortable pair of cotton short shorts and a loose fitting t-shirt, Lala was so focused on her newest creation that she almost missed the door to her workshop opening as her mother and sisters appeared.

"What are you working on now big sis?" Nana asked curiously, making Lala jump as she hurriedly tried to cover her latest project with a sheet and said suspiciously,

"H-hey mama, Nana, and Momo! I-I'm not working on anything!" Whistling then as if to try and avoid suspicion, all three of them looked at her with deadpan stares while mentally commenting how Lala should never try to play poker.

Then, in an attempt to divert their attention, Lala suddenly seemed to recall something as she hurriedly looked around and said,

"Oh yeah! I have something for you Nana!" Quickly finding what she was looking for, Lala then held out a familiar device shaped similarly to slimes from RPGs, which caused both Nana and Momo to make a face when they saw it.

"Introducing the Booby-Booby Kun-MK2! I fixed the issue so that it wouldn't make those with big boobies flat, and the effects would last longer!" Despite her reassurances though, both Nana and Momo continued looking at the machine with suspicion.

When Nana tried it before it had indeed increased her bust to match Momo's, but it had also taken Momo's breasts, something Nana didn't have any issue with, while the effect had only lasted for maybe a minute before wearing off. That was why both twins looked at the machine with suspicion, with Momo not wanting to lose her prided breasts a second time, while Nana didn't want to finally graduate from being a pettanko, only to have them being snatched away once again. However, with their big sis waiting for her to take the machine with obvious anticipation, Nana sighed before reluctantly accepting it.

"Here goes nothing." She muttered more to herself than the others, before she activated the machine. There was a burst of smoke as she pushed the button, which cleared momentarily to reveal the results of the machine.

"I-it worked!" Nana cried out as she immediately grabbed the melons now attached to her chest, which were now about as big as Momo's. However, her elation was short as said twin muttered,

"Umm, Nana...." Nana looked up while half expecting to see Momo's chest having disappeared again so she could tease her for it, but instead the expression on her face froze as she beheld the scene before her.

Instead of swapping the boobs like it had before, apparently the machine had increased the busts of everyone caught within its area of effect, which unfortunately included both of her sisters and her mother. Now Momo's chest was even bigger than their mother's had been, while both Sephie and Lala's had grown to a similar size as Rias or Akeno.

Tearing up a little, Nana then fled from the room while crying out,

"Big sis you dummy!" As she fled from them both Sephie and Momo tried to follow her, the former to comfort her, while the latter intended to rub her new bust in her unfortunate twin's face. Lala sighed as she was filled with guilt for messing up yet again with her machines, though she secretly felt relieved that she managed to distract her mother and sisters from her secret project.

Lala then looked down at her own enlarged breasts, and muttered,

"They never really bugged me before, but boobies this big really do seem annoying..." As she said that Lala unhesitatingly took off her shirt to allow her boobs to flop out, where she then began to play with them as if testing them out, while also noting how heavy they seemed to be.

Roughly a minute after Lala started to innocently play with her enhanced 'assets', a new semi-robotic voice spoke up,

"Lala-Sama, were you not working on a project before miss Sephie and your sisters arrived?" Suddenly seeming to recall what she was doing before, Lala said, "Oh yeah! Thanks for reminding me Peke!" before hurriedly removing the sheet she had used to hide her newest inventions.

Sitting there on the table was a trio of cutesy wands with different colors and designs. The one to the left was green and black with a pair of devil-like wings spread out to the sides, with an emerald colored leaf topping it off. The one on the right was black and red with wings that match the first, but the topper was an animal paw print. Finally the one in the middle was black and pink with wings that matched the previous two, but it was topped with heart.

Smiling widely, Lala declared excitedly,

"I can't wait to give Nana and Momo the 'Mecha Magical Girl' wands I'm making! But I have to make sure they're completely finished first!" Eager to finish the surprise she was preparing for herself and her sisters, Lala then set to work once more without even bothering to put her shirt back on, simply working while topless as she waited for the effects of the Booby-booby Kun-Mk2 to wear off.

"...Elemenhilde..." Yue called out from her throne in her castle, summoning the young vampiress to her throne room as she replied,

"Yes Yue-Sama?" Yue looked at her and asked,

"...you came from this next world, right...?" Elmenhilde nodded and said,

"Yes I did Yue-sama, there is a community of vampires in this world that is divided into two factions, the Carmilla faction, and the Tepes faction. Though the tensions eased shortly before we departed from our world, I do not believe that they ceased altogether simply due to how long they have been against each other."

Yue nodded and closed her eyes as she thought on the information Elmenhilde provided her, before saying,

"...I see... Then they should be ripe for conquest..." Though she was speaking in her characteristically soft voice, Yue's words were anything but as she began planning how she would make the vampires of the DXD world submit, and be the first of the vampire nation she planned to establish.

Unlike the vampires of the Rosario Vampire world, which had formed numerous communities scattered all around the world, the vampires of the DXD world were centered in a single location in the country of Romania, making them significantly easier for Yue to take over. So while Moka's father, Issa Shuzen, did all of the heavy lifting for her in his home world, she would be able to put her focus in bringing the vampires of this one under her heel. Instead of the Carmilla and Trpes factions, she would unite them under the 'Moon Goddess', Aletia.

Aletia was of course the name her parents had given her, the name she used for her entire life up until she had been sealed away in the depths of the Orcus Labyrinth, and then freed by Alex three hundred years later. And soon, it would be the name that vampires across the multiverse worshipped as she brought them under her control.

KABOOOOOOOM!!!

"Not bad!" Alex cried out as he sent Shia flying, right after the rabbit girl had managed to land a decent hit onto him. However, the words were barely out of his mouth as Moka suddenly appeared behind him, before she delivered a normally lethal kick to his neck. Unfortunately, with the layers of muscle provided by his SSJ4 transformation, Alex didn't even flinch as he reached up and grabbed her ankle.

"Nice try, but sadly not enough." He told her playfully, before using his grip on her to send Moka flying into the waves below them after Shia.

'They sure have come a long ways...' Alex thought to himself as he waited for the girls to resurface, which thankfully Moka had acquired the 'Water Resistance' skill a long time ago.

Shia had gone from a scared little bunny girl to a berserker capable of going toe to toe with a Super Saiyan, and was quickly closing in on Alex whenever he fought her in his SSJ2 form in terms of sheer brute strength. Meanwhile her defensive capabilities had grown to the point that Alex had to genuinely try to hurt her just to phase her during their sparring matches.

Moka meanwhile wasn't focusing on brute forcing her way through any problems like Shia, but instead aimed for specific full power attacks on her opponents weak spots to cripple or kill them instantly. Even if that didn't work, she was even capable of weaponizing her own blood to attack her opponents along with her kicks, protecting her, or even seeping into their pores to attack them from within if her blood ever got onto them.

Just a bit more fine tuning, and Alex hoped that they'd be able to hold their own against the majority of the opponents they'd face in the Dragon Ball world. Not necessarily people like Majin Buu or Beerus, but people even as strong as Cell should be nothing to them.

Further proving his point, the sea below Alex suddenly started to practically boil before exploding from the force of the light blue magic aura being exerted underneath, revealing Shia with blood red eyes.

"SHORYAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

Shia released a great roar as her rabid red eyes focused on Alex, before her hair and magic aura slowly began to turn the same red as she entered her berserk state. What surprised Alex though was that as her attack power rose, the air around Shia began to crackle with red lightning that matched her berserker aura.

"Well that's interesting..." Alex muttered to himself, as he watched Shia grow even stronger before launching herself at him from the bottom of the sea at full force. The downside of her entering berserk mode though was each and every one of her attacks became incredibly easy to predict, even without assistance from abilities like Observation Haki.

"RAAAAAAAAA!!!" Shia shouted with primal fury as her fist closed in on Alex's face, only for him to just barely shift out of the way to watch it go right by. To her credit, Shia then responded by sweeping her arm in a wide arc in an attempt to try and recover her attack, but Alex responded in kind by bringing his own arm up to catch hers, and delivering a swift kick to her abdomen.

Though the physical defense of her body increased with her power up, with no awareness to defend herself Alex's light kick did much more damage than any of his usual semi-serious attacks did, creating the rare moment when Shia actually took damage. As she got sent flying away once again though, Moka suddenly appeared once more to deliver yet another kick to him, except this time numerous blades of blood coated her foot and shin.

"Try this!" Moka cried as she aimed her kick at Alex's unprotected side, but the moment the blades of blood tried to cut into him her foot stopped, and Alex mused at her stupefied expression,

"So in this form I can even tighten my muscles around bladed weapons to stop them.....interesting!" With Moka twitching her brow at his musings, her current position left her wide open for a return attack from Alex as he hit her hard enough to send her flying, before she started skipping across the waves, and finally she became embedded into the base of the structure supporting the villa above them. Though her impact had created a crater in the base of the support, as well as a spiderweb of cracks that would normally worry someone, the cracks began to close themselves almost immediately as the regenerative formations within the structure activated.

By this point Moka had several broken bones, lacerations, and was bleeding from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. She ignored all of this though as a series of sickening popping noises began to emanate from her body as it started to heal itself, and looked back up at Alex challengingly.

Wrenching her limbs from the concrete support, Moka spread her bat-like wings as she once again approached Alex, while Shia also already charged him once again regardless of the danger doing so, or the wounds she already possessed.

While everyone else was preparing to return home one way or another, Sona Sitri slowly wandered through the halls of her school, the one thing she had yearned for in her life.

As she wandered through the halls Sona admired every single thing that she laid eyes on, from the grand artworks that decorated the hall, to even the very wood that she walked on. Everywhere she looked Sona saw the physical realization of her dream, even down to every stone, plank, and tile.

As she turned her thoughts to home, a feeling of excitement filled Sona's heart as she thought of all the new students they'd have from the Underworld, as well as those from the Yokai, Fallen Angels, and any group from the allied factions that would be interested.

As she desired from the beginning, Sona's school was one where there would be no prejudice. It wouldn't matter your race, background, status, or wealth, any who wanted to learn from them would be welcome and treated equally.

As she thought of the future of her Academy though, Sona also felt a sour feeling rise in her nose as she recalled those higher ups back in the Underworld that had tried to ensure her dream would never come true due to their own corruption of the Rating Games that her school was intentionally intended to revolve around.

Now however those old bastards had been stripped of their authority after the former champion, Diehauser Belial, revealed the corruption that had ruled the games for so long. And not only that, Sona firmly believed that anyone who might disapprove with her school's lack of discrimination would be silenced when the new games were unveiled, featuring fighters and abilities from multiple worlds.

A bell then suddenly rang lightly around her, alerting Sona to this period's classes ending as the classrooms quickly emptied. As the students saw her though, many happily called out to Sona as she too returned their greetings while referring to every single one of her students by name.

For those that had only met her once or twice, or not at all, this simple gesture was enough to prompt them to try even harder so as not to disappoint their headmistress. Seeing this Sona, readily encouraged their eagerness while also reminding them to keep up in the subjects that they had been falling behind in, showing that beyond simply knowing their names, she had also taken the time to personally check on and remember how each and every one of her students were doing in each subject.

Truly, this was a feat that only someone with a supercomputer-like mind like Sona was capable of achieving. Meanwhile in each of the classrooms, each and every one of the teachers greeted their students with a smile before starting their lessons.

Unlike most teaching institutions where the faculty was either only there for a paycheck/authority over students, each and every one of the teachers at the Academy was truly passionate about teaching the next generations. Among them was Aiko, who usually had little Lilith in a rocker nearby nowadays while Vali hovered silently out of sight, Tearju Lunatique, who seemed to have recovered from her previous traumas to the point that now she had several boys in her classes, and the members of Sona's peerage(minus Kiryuu), who all had worked alongside their master for years to make her dream come true.

Aside from them and the other teachers they had, several other people would occasionally come by to help teach various other subjects that they didn't usually cover, such as Seekvaira teaching mechanics using the various mechas she had collected, and Sairaorg teaching classes regarding martial arts and strength training.

Reaching a window and looking out over the Academy's grounds and lake, Sona recalled everything she and her peerage had been through before they finally reached this point, the ridicule and the numerous humiliations showered upon them for their ideals of equal treatment. She also recalled the large amount of support they had though, from Rias, her sister Serafall, her parents, and many others who also wanted to look towards the future instead of remaining in the past.

Most of all though, she recalled Alex. He was the one who brought her to Asora and gave her the tools she needed to build her Academy. He was also the one who supported her ideals of equal treatment and opportunity for the entirety of Asora, and all of the world's they traveled to in the future as well.

As she thought about him Sona then thought about her niece, Elizabeth, and how quickly the adorable little girl was growing. Recalling Lizzy then made her think about Regal, Ryuto, and Shuri, all Alex's children that he had with people she had known growing up, though she hadn't known Ravel closely.

Thinking of this made Sona place her own hand against her abdomen, as she silently mused out loud,

"I wasn't necessarily in a hurry, but maybe I should reconsider having my own child after everything settles down?" With the image of her own bundle of joy filling her with even more warmth, Sona continued wandering around the Academy as she thought more on returning home.

(A.N. Again, sorry for the short chapters and the delays. It seems like anytime I plan to just sit and write after work someone calls me for something else. Thankfully though there's stuff that'll be going on at my work which means that we won't have things nearly as hard for a while soon, and hopefully I'll be able to put more time to this. I won't make any promises though since that'll just pretty much guarantee that I won't be able to.)
