章節 15: Azazel's Darkness(Rewrite)
While Kuroka began to train them in the art of Senjutsu, Azazel sent his Fallen throughout Japan and the world. He ordered them all to stay out of sight as he searched for Vritra Sacred Gears.
To do so, he used some mana from Raynare to search for others of the same kind. Relatively quickly, in a small town called Kuoh, he found what he was looking for.
There was a young kid around 6. He had normal parents and was a normal child, but sadly he just had to be born with the wrong sacred gear. Azazel may want peace, but it does not change the fact that he is one of the most evil people in the Three Factions.
God knew he had evil in his heart since the start and he was right. Azazel had no issue with killing the boy and he ordered a team of Fallen to sneak into Kuoh Town and abducted the kid and his whole family.
While the Devils ran this town they were not the most hands-on owners and they got the kid with no issue. As for the boy, his name was Saji and at that moment he was in for hell.
He was terrified as he was just a 6-year-old kid. He was tied to a large rack that pulsed in an eerie glow. He was crying and suddenly walked Azazel walked with no smile on his face. Saji was gagged and trying to escape from the rack.
Azazel sighed but shrugged as this was all for Raynare's sake. Raynare was worth the lives of thousands of humans in his opinion. He may not discriminate against them, but for her, he would sacrifice a million.
Kurayami was worth several billions in his eyes.
"Well, kid. As you will be dead soon it's fair I explain. You own sacred gear which is like a weapon, or gift from God. Sadly one of my students also owns the same type and we need all 6, yours included."
Saji struggled even harder to escape, but it was useless.
"Don't worry. Your soul will pass on, reincarnate, or go to heaven. May you live normally in the next life kid. This run was just not for you."
Azazel removed the gag and Saji screamed for help.
"MOM! DADD! SAVE ME! HELP!"
Azazel gagged him again and smiled lightly. He placed his hand on his head once with a small smile.
"Sorry kid, but that's just how it is."
He activated the device as the bright lights began to surround his right arm. Suddenly the gauntlet like a Chameleon showed up and began to be pulled off him. The screams of agony and fear even made Azazel feel a little bad, but too late now.
Not long after the Sacred gear was out and he placed it in a special means to preserve it. As for the body it was destroyed without a trace. He went to find Raynare, Akeno, and Kurayami in his office the next day. When they got there he was grinning and pointed to Absorption Line on his desk.
When Raynare got close to it the gauntlet rushed to her hand and the split soul of Viritra began to mend itself and she did not pass out this time. She was much stronger than the last time.
The gauntlet appeared on her arm and she was smiling.
"4 down, 2 to go. How did you get this one?"
Azazel grinned as he bragged about how good he was.
"Some nameless criminal had it and we took it from him. Not bad for good old me. Where is my thank you?"
Raynare felt the soul of Vritra mending well and she smiled.
"Thank you, Azazel. He will return soon. I can feel it."
Kurayami knew that was not the case, but he did not care. Akeno might, but probably not. In this world, power was everything. Raynare nodded and bowed slightly and went back with Kurayami and Akeno to her training.
Now, they had to spend 2 hours meditating with Kuroka in the morning out in nature. Vali as usual hung around them as they were his friends now. He was not part of their team, but he was their friend.
He trained harder than ever so he could stand up to Incinerate Anthem along with Kuraymi's twin swords. Rebellion and Submission. Both blades were simply monstrous as those Greatswords were brutal weapons in Kurayami's hands.
Even Albion was impressed with the skill of Azazel's forging. He exceeded Vali in everything, but it did not discourage the boy. He was glad to have a powerful rival to push himself against.
But here, time began to pass for them. This small rivalry motivated both of them and they fought regularly. This went on for 3 years when they were sent to several parts of the world and the Underworld on missions.
They began to have a reputation, which led to the current scenario. Currently, Kurayami, Akeno, Raynare, and Esdeath are in the middle of New York for their next mission. Azazel heard some mess popping up with the Greek Gods as Zeus and Poseidon were currently up in squabble.
This was annoying him as he had been trying to enter an alliance with them, but all talks stopped when the war happened. He talked to Hera who asked Azazel to intervene in her husband's mess for a heavy sum.
As such, Azazel sent his rising stars who could use the training. Esdeath looked around the city and found it interesting, but at the same time disgusting. She looked at Kurayami who was dressed in black leather armor with metal armor around his vulnerable areas.
The mortal humans did not notice and thought he was wearing a suit because of his illusions. He was also much bigger than before as he was 14. He was already 5'11 as like his Father he had grown tall.
The more wings a Fallen Angel got in their youth the more they matured during puberty. He looked 17 while Akeno and Raynare looked like young teenagers. As Azazel said, Akeno and Raynare were starting to fill out and they were tall.
Akeno was taller at '5'8 while Raynare was 5'4 which was annoying. Esdeath though was unlucky as she was human. She looked properly like her age so still very young. She looked over to their leader Kurayami.
"So after these years, Azazel sends us here why?"
He turned around as he told them the mission.
"Hera called as she was negotiating with Azazel for an alliance. But, someone stole Zeus' lightning bolt so she asked Azazel to help out. That is why we are here."
Akeno nodded as she dressed in similar clothes to her brother, only she wore a skirt.
"So, why not send Dad?"
Kurayami answered what Azazel told him.
"No beings above a certain power level so we are the best choice. This matters as when gods fight it is a calamity. Especially when they are Greek as they will drag other pantheons into the mess. Better to nip the problem while it is only festering."
Akeno nodded as she understood. Now Raynare had another question.
"So we help and them what?"
"Hera will pay us. Well, pay Azazel. Also, we have a secondary objective along with our initial one. Poseidon contacted Azazel as well and asked us to help prove his son's innocence. He too will pay if we do."
Esdeath nodded as she spread her sense around the city. This was simple, but she found quite a bit.
"Monsters and spirits in hiding and lots of them."
"This is Greek territory so it is covered in a mist that keeps mortals blind and the monsters take advantage. As for mission, two, I know where he is."
Akeno looked at the paper he was holding so she looked at it over his shoulder. It was tricky as he was taller than she was, but she got a good look. It was a picture of a 10-year-old kid.
"So that him?"
He nodded as he stared at the picture.
"His name is Percy Jackson and he goes to a School for troubled kids. If he did steal it, that is good for us."
Esdeath was interested in the lightning as any weapon of a god was sure to be powerful.
"So what's so special about the lightning of Zeus? I get it is a god weapon, but how does it compare to our Longinus?
"It is one of the strongest weapons in the world only matched by the Longinus, Gungnir, Molnir, and the like. Anyone who gets that will use it to usurp Zeus. As for how it compares, about even."
Esdeath nodded as she cracked her knuckles ready for some pain.
"Well let's get the kid and go."
Raynare walked toward Kurayami and hugged his right arm. He glanced down with his usual blank stare as she looked up at him with a smile. Over the past 4 years, she had tried hard to win his heart over.
Shuri had also pushed for it as she wanted her son to get married one day. She did not want to push him as he was recovering slowly.
"Do you mind?"
He shook his head as he didn't.
"No."
At that moment Esdeath walked over and hugged his other arm.
"If that is the case don't mind if I do."
Akeno shook her head as she looked at her brother. His face did not change, but his eyes were starting to glow brighter.
'Really? This is what you like?'
'I don't know what you mean.'
'Sure you don't.
She shrugged as she walked forward.
"Well let's go, he has a field trip right now."
As they began to walk to the museum Raynare and Esdeath did not let go of his arms. As they walked to the school, Esdeath asked something on her mind.
"On another note, human hybrids get sacred gears all the time, right? So, can demigods?"
He nodded.
"They can. Only that is quite rare as the divine heritage of gods makes it tricky for Sacred Gears to consider them human. It happens though."
When they arrived at the museum, they walked past the line as if they were invincible to regular humans. It was Kurayami's main choice as he did not have the patience to interact with everyday people.
When they entered the museum, they walked to the Greek section as the class was having a lecture by their teacher. The teacher went by Mr. Brunner, but his real name was Chiron the trainer of Greek Heroes.
When they found the class, Kurayami, Akeno, Raynare, and Esdeath listened in curious to what the Centaur would say."
"Here we have the three brothers, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. After they overthrew their father and chopped him up to bits and banished the parts to Tartarus, they split the world between them."
What no one heard was how Kurayami mumbled about them only ruling a part of the world in reality. Chiron managed to pick it up, but he ignored it as he thought it was just the mumblings of a normal human.
Still when he got a look at who did it and what he was wearing he was alarmed. Stygian Iron did not grow on trees and Kurayami was wearing it around his neck as a cross. On top of that, when he looked into his eyes he saw only two glowing violet orbs.
'What is that thing?'
He ignored the other three as Kurayami could not be a person. He was too, broken. He shook his head as he looked back at Percy. He was wearing headphones until Mr. Brunner got himself together.
"A thing about the gods is that they would sometimes come down to Earth to-, how do I say this."
A kid raised his hand and laughed like a prepubescent kid would at the notion of sex.
"Hook up."
Mr. Brunner chucked at the childlike innocence.
"Yes. Hook Up. The children of the gods and mortals were called demigods. Some very famous ones were Heracles and Achilles. Can anyone name one more? Mr. Jackson? Any clue."
Just watching that made Kurayami curious. Percy did not look like the son of one of the great gods, but he did have the aura of one. Esdeath though doubted he was part god and shook her head at how clueless and weak he was for a demigod.
Mr. Brunner asked again.
"Can you name one more demigod?"
Percy looked around and at the Greek text which began to shift and turned into English.
"Perseus."
Mr. Brunner nodded.
"Good. Next, we have the thirteen laborers of Heracles. He had to complete 13 missions and one of them was slaying the Nemean Lion. The beast's hide was unpriceable, so he choked it to death. He took its skin and formed armor from it."
As Kurayami and the girls watched they noticed a fury in disguise as his teacher tapped him on the shoulder. Seeing her made Raynare alarmed. She tugged on his arm.
"Kurayami."
He nodded.
"I know."
Percy began to follow her, so Kurayami and the girls began to follow as well. That alarmed Chiron so he going to break character, but he controlled himself. He glanced at Grover and had him go as backup.
Regardless, when they found Percy, he was looking up at the transformed state of his teacher.
"WHAT IS THAT!"
The Fury glared at him and turned into a horrendous beast like a humanoid bat.
"GIVE IT BACK!"
The Fury charged forward with all her might to rip Percy apart, but Kurayami jumped forward. Dense Touki surged from his body as he buffed his strength with his mana. He snatched the Fury mid-air and gripped it around the neck.
The shocked Fury roared and screeched as the powerful being fought back prooving to be more trouble than was expected. However, Kurayami's face did not change throughout the entire exchange as he smashed the humanoid bat onto the ground with his monstrous strength.
From both his hands, Holy and Death flames streamed down causing the Fury to scream in agony as her essence was damaged. To prevent dying forever, she snuffed out her shell causing her to escape from him.
Percy fell on his ass and looked at Kurayami who turned to look at him. Kurayami stood up causing his cross to jingle against his chest Looking at it made Percy nervous, but he could not get up.
Kurayami glanced at the kid who matched the picture.
"Percy Jackson?"
Percy nodded.
"Good."
Suddenly Chiron and Grover came in and when Chiron saw Kurayami, Akeno, Esdeath, and Raynare he knew what they were now they stopped hiding their auras. Each one was a danger to the entire state or more if unleashed.
"Fallen Angels and a human girl? What are you doing here? This does not concern you and back away from the boy."
Grover looked over to the wheel-chaired man in shock. The higher-ups kept the existence of other pantheons and religions more like myths as it would weaken them if less believed in them.
Kurayami would frown if he could.
"Hera and Poseidon contracted us as outside agents. You know if Zeus and Poseidon fight a war other Pantheons won't stay quiet as a war of that scale will affect their followers. That is why we are here."
Chiron sighed and knew it was true. War of the scale that Zeus and Poseidon were about to fight would drag in every other pantheon and the Greeks especially didn't want to piss off Indra or Shiva as those two were in the top ten.
Chiron sighed.
"Us our pantheon seen that much much as a joke?"
Kurayami nodded.
"You are a joke."
Chiron did not deny or accept that. Meanwhile, Percy was in shock and was about to crawl always, but he was grabbed by the leg by Raynare. She picked him up by it and dangled him off the floor. Akeno started to poke at his ribs as she wanted to see if he had gills or something.
"If this is the son of Poseidon, where are the scales and gills?"
Chiron held his face as Percy was not supposed to know that yet.
"He was not supposed to know?"
Kurayami did not care.
"We don't care."
If Poseidon and Hera were involved it was fine.
"Grover. Go with them. Take him to the camp already."
Grover nodded and approached them as he was the protector of Percy. Even if he was not powerful.
"Let's go, Percy. We need to get you to the camp."
Percy was still upside down and felt this was all too weird, Fallen Angels, monsters, and gods. Raynare dropped him as she no longer wanted to hold him up. When Percy got to his feet again, Chiron handed him a pen.
"Here. Only use it in times of great danger."
Percy looked at the pen and looked at the man like he was crazy.
"That is a pen."
Kurayami pushed him to get him to move. However, Chiron spoke on something he wanted to know.
"You four won't be able to enter the camp so what is the plan?"
Kurayami had one. He grabbed Percy's hand and placed a bracelet on it. it glowed purple and suddenly it clamped down.
"OW! What the hell?"
Kurayami explained what it was.
"That's a tracker."
Kurayami, Akeno, Raynare, and Esdeath walked out with the confused Percy dragged along. They were ignoring Grover as they felt only Percy was the one who mattered. Grover asked Kurayami if it was true.
"Hey. Is what Chiron said true? You are Fallen Angels. Is the God of the Bible real?"
Kurayami knew he was dead, but he wouldn't tell a soul. He was one of the reasons the Three Powers were not taken over by other pantheons.
"Yes."
Percy looked at the bracelet weirded out.
"What about my mom? We can't leave her."
Kurayami this time felt this was normal.
"Where does she live?"
"Not far from here."
Grover looked over as he was annoyed.
"Hey. I am the protector here got it."
Esdeath looked at him and laughed at him.
"You? You are weak. This kid Percy might end up dead if anything slightly strong attacked him. Even a common dog could do it."
Grover was going to complain, but he didn't. When Percy gave Kurayami his address, he directly teleported them there. When they arrived, Percy's mom was serving drinks to her husband's friends.
Everyone was confused, but they all suddenly got blank looks and all of them fell face-first into the table. Sally saw that and wanted to laugh and scream. They all looked at Kurayami who hadn't even raised a hand.
"Magic."
Grover was impressed.
"You teaching that?"
"No. Fallen Angels only."
Akeno laughed as he was still curt. Only she could talk to him in length and she was his twin. When they got outside Kurayami placed his hand on Sally's car and it turned into a massive SUV. Sally saw how her crappy car got turned into a luxury S.U.V.
"Can I keep that?"
"Sure."
He got in the driver's seat and looked at all of them.
"Get in now."
They all did not question it and got right in. When they all got their seat belts on he pressed down on the accelerator as he did not have to bother with human laws. Magic was good for many things after all.
