DxD: Matsuda!

     We passed through the yaguramon gate that connected to Honmaru Palace. The place we reached was full of rows of ancient Japanese eaves. The garden was nice and clean. These were all illuminated by lights so even in the dark world of the night it was as bright as day.

     Cao Cao greets us smugly,"I see you have defeated the assassins. Though they only count as low or mid class gear possessors, they do have balance breakers after all. It is surprising that you all were able to defeat them." No it's not asshole....you just hoped they would soften us up!

     Kunou, seeing her mother in the group of enemies, yelled out,"Mother!"

     Following her gaze we found a beautiful woman in a kimono standing there. I could see fox ears on her head, as well as several fox tails. This is Yasaka!. What a true beauty! Her supernatural looks are greater than my imagination can explain....It seems when you see her in person, there is some kind of force that makes you want to obtain her favor! Thankfully I am immune to mental influences or my mind might be distracted! She is dressed just like in the anime, but ten times better.

     "Mother! I am Kunou! Please wake up." But no matter how much Kunou cried out, Yasaka remained unresponsive. In her emotionless eyes was a completely expressionless face.

     Kunou frustratingly yells at Cao Cao,"Contemptible, you villains! What have you done to my mother!" Her tears are hurting my heart.....

     "Didn’t I say it already? We will have your mother cooperate for a little experiment, little princess."Saying that, Cao Cao tapped the ground with his spear. In that instant..........

     "Ooh...ooh...ah...!" Yasaka began to cry painfully, and her appearance began changing! Her body began to shine and she transformed! Enlarging constantly, the nine tails also began to grow in size. The giant golden fox’s roars reverberated across Kyoto. At least ten meters tall, and her tail was divided into nine, and overall she looked even bigger than Fenrir. This was the legendary youkai, the nine-tailed fox! Even as a fox, Yasaka’s form was just as entrancing.

     I say to Cao Cao while giving my hand signals to my team behind me,"Sorry even if we don't personally stop you from trying to summon Great Red, your experiment will fail......"

     Xuelan, Aika, and Irena stand to the side more in front of Jean.......Rose takes her place closer to the explosion big guy Heracles......And Xenovia, Murayama, Kyouko, and Kiba stand in front of Sig. My command group leader Coriana is in the back line with Ingvild, Asia, and Kunou! Issei expresses he wants a go at Cao Cao and Saji knows he is to subdue the nine-tails! I had my Rook go to, Jeans group so I could swap places in a pinch! Sadly I cannot swap with Rose so I will just have to watch what's going on...This is where Coriana will help me out.

     Cao Cao says to me,"I see, this must come from your powers of foresight, but I have heard your powers are wrong too?!"

     I nod to my Knight who was begging with her eyes! Xenovia had pointed her sword at Cao Cao. The sheathed Durandal, the various parts of the sheath began to move and transform. With a violent sound, the mobile portions of the sheath began releasing a large amount of holy aura! It covered the entire length of the sword, and the massive aura shaped itself into a blade!

     "Me too!" In response, Irina created a sword of light in her hand.

     Saji, seeing Xenovia starting the plan, sighs,"Fine, this is for everyone in Kyoto and my friends anyway!" Many black snakes appeared from Saji’s arms, legs and shoulders and began to entangle his body. As his body was covered entirely with black snakes, a large black serpent also appeared under Saji’s feet.

     The massive serpent presented itself next to Saji and formed a coil, its whole body emitting black flames. Saji’s left eye turned red and resembled a dragon’s eye. Saji’s presence was unbelievable!

     "Vritra, I’m sorry but please lend me your strength. Issei please support me from the side and bring me back from rampaging. Tonight we will fight to our hearts’ content!" As Saji muttered, huge black flames appeared all around.

     The huge serpent began to speak in a deep voice,"Ah my other self. Where is the prey? Is it that holy spear? Or that fox? Either is fine. It’s been so long since I last appeared, I feel great right now. How about this, no matter who, let me just consume everything with my black flames?"

     Saji says,"No just restrain that fox and pull her away from the main fight please!"

     *whoosh* Xenovia raising Durandal to the heavens and a massive aura gushing forth from the blade! Expanding to over fifty feet tall in an instant, the blade of holy aura appeared before our eyes. It looked as if it was about to pierce the heavens. I could see that most of its power was concentrated together tightly bound, I know this won't do anything to their group but Xenovia is just too happy right now!

     "A warm up for my Lord! Watch me my King! Strike first and end the battle. Taste my Ex-Durandal!" Xenovia smashed her massive sword of holy light and aura down upon the heads of the Hero faction!

     The sword's massive aura pillar engulfed buildings, structures, and the entire scenery! The ground split into two, the entire area was a total mess. The attack had crossed over Nijou Castle’s moat and even destroyed the buildings and roads further beyond, leaving nothing behind!

     "Hah!" Xenovia took a deep breath. Durandal returned to its sheathed state once again. She then gives me a big smile like she is done and we can go home! sadly she knows from my predictions they are fine.....

     From out of the rubble in the ground, a piece of earth was lifted, and out emerged the members of the Heroes faction, covered by mist. All of them looked dusty but unharmed. The huge man who was the first to appear, was roughly six and a half feet tall, and was flexing his neck loudly. Behind him, Cao Cao tapped his spear audibly on his own shoulder.

     Cao Cao rubbed his chin and laughed,"Ah, not bad at all. Then let’s start the experiment. Focus power into the force nodes of the nine-tailed fox and prepare to summon Great Red. Georg!"

     "Understood."Georg reached out with his hand. What seemed to be an endless number of magic circles appeared around him! Magical script and numbers began to spin rapidly within the circles!

     A massive magic circle appeared underneath Yasaka! *ROAR* As she roared, Yasaka’s pupils dilated, her eyes gave off a dangerous light and her golden fur stood on end!

     George says,"The magic circle and the sacrifice are ready. The next step is to see if Great Red takes the bait. Luckily, a Dragon King and a Heavenly Dragon present will help with the bait. My apologies, but I will be busy with operating the magic circle. It is a very taxing thing."

     Vritra and the kyuubi started to breathe fire at each other! Massive fireballs collided in mid-air once again, bouncing off each other! The two coiled and fought like it was a Godzilla vs King Kong movie.......

     While Cao Cao was telling his lackeys to pick opponents my three groups spread to their targets and I then talked to Cao Cao.

     I showed my Mjölnir too dipstick and said,"Those three can fight my three groups...And if you don't like the pairings then I will overcharge my hammer here and toss it at George and end your stupid dreams. So you can fight like this or I can shit on your mist user while he is busy?!"

     Cao Cao looks at me and laughs,"Wow you would be willing to throw everyone into the dimensional gap in order to threaten me?"

     I shrug,"Just like your George, I too have ways to save my friends, but I don't think you want to waste this chance do you....Unless fighting Issei is no good? Do you want both of us or one at a time?"

     Cao Cao nods to his companions to go after the team set ups,"Fine, then I will entertain Both of you!" I put my hammer on my waist and draw my sword. I am not sure if Issei can handle him so I will assist.

     Sig engaged his fast moving opponents and revealed his six arms and six blades to fight off his group. Kiba decides to release his holy knights onto the field to fight, he creates six fast moving summons just like the one's from the Bael match in season 4, while Kyouko uses her balance breaker [Zero G] and Makes Sid suffer from weightlessness. Sig's skill is so good he manages to keep everyone from doing major damage to him.

     The other three girls fighting Jeane are staying off the ground and kiting her around to avoid her dragon. My Rook is pulling back any wounded for Asia and ready for my teleport switch of [Castling].

     Heracles has been getting pissed because the Valkyrie he wants to blow up with missiles keeps flying away, and Rose is waiting for him to use his one shot move on her and has a teleport ready....cheating is fun!

     Cao Cao is admiring the start of the fights and looks at us,"Isn’t this great? This is a balance breaker free for all. Without a little inflation, how can humans compete with you devils?"

     Issei asked,"Aren’t you going to balance break, like the others?"

     "No need no need. We can win without going that far. However, today is my chance to really have a good look at the Red Dragon’s power. Plus the Satan Gold that makes kids pop out of devil women! Plus he is immune to Vali's gear!" Nice dig ass hole.....but it is true on many levels....Coriana is giving me battle updates so I can focus here.

     Issei grumbles and says,"Looks like we are being looked down upon, so you don't think we can fight?"

     Ass hole just shrugs and says,"Nope, but I was just thinking about how to draw your power, so I can have a satisfying battle." I put my sword in my left and so I can grab my hammer at a needed moment.

     "My comrades came up with a theory on how to defeat the two of you. To hit you guys with time accelerating gear. The balance breaker timer will be shorted, and the armor will release prematurely. We have such a sacred gear user, and it is effective against Sacred Gears with time limits like yours. Accelerating time in an instant, to waste the time limit. However, it has no other special abilities. Just time limit control. Still, targeting the time limit will be a decisive blow against you. However, that is probably not enough to defeat you guys."

     I say,"Yes yes Issei will reach into his gear, I told him you would say that already......." I do a pick my ear motion due to this guy going on and on like Freed.

      Cao Cao looks pissed his monologue was disrupted,"Well, that’s enough talking. Let’s begin."

     Just as I was getting annoyed, Issei charged in with a fast frontal attack and his dragon shots were deflected and his strikes were getting parried but then Issei stopped and looked down. He and I see Cao Cao’s spear firmly embedded there in Issei's stomach! "Gurgle..." Large amounts of fresh blood was rushing up spewing out from Issei's mouth.

     Cao Cao says to Issei,"You’re not weak, but your style of rushing in directly has too many openings. And Matsuda, your weakness is your friends....Now how will you choose to save them? After saving Issei here, you have to wait an hour to heal them right?!" Cao Cao slowly withdrew his spear from Issei's abdomen.

     Cao Cao is a fucking DICK!
