DxD: Tempest Lord (Rewrite Up)

Storming The Church (2)

"Issei!"

Alexander Kang rushed towards the exorcist with all the speed he could muster, and slammed his foot into the side of his head, sending him rolling.

The brunette gaped at his friend. "Alex! You... you're he- dude... your arms... what happened to you!?" Issei shouted, seeing his burned and bloodied state.

"It doesn't matter right now! Where's the girl?" Alex said back.

Issei grit his teeth. "They're keeping her beneath the church! But I don't know how to get there!"

"I do." Alex declared, before flaring zenith tempest. He slid his foot forward, and his eyes glowed a deep red. The earth began to tremble lightly, before the church's floor partially broke down, revealing a staircase leading deeper down.

"Over there!" Issei pointed to it.

It was at this time Freed returned to earth, and lunged at Issei.

"Oh no you don't!" Alex rushed forward, grabbed Freed, and whipped him over his shoulder.

"Issei, I'll take care of this guy! Get down there and save your girl!"

Issei hesitated. "Are you sure? I mean... with your wounds..."

Alex nudged him back. "I'll be fine against this guy. Issei, their goal is Asia's sacred gear." He revealed his discovered information. "I don't know the how, or what'll happen to her, but it's unlikely to be a pleasant experience."

Issei nodded seriously. "Got it. I'm gonna smack that smug bitch around and bring back Asia for real this time!"

As Issei descended the stairs into the unknown, Alex turned back to Freed. "And then there were two."

Freed narrowed his eyes at the newcomer.

He took a step forward, before he suddenly appeared right in front of Alex, sword coming down.

The devil countered with a kick to Freed's side, forcing him back.

The exorcist now glared at Alex. He pooled some blood in his mouth and spat it out.

Eyeing the devil in front of him, Freed analyzed the situatuon.

This bastard's injured head to toe. But those burns... I didn't think about it, since I really wanted to kill that little boy, but how did he even get here? He got past the fallen angels guarding the perimeter, and can still fight even with those wounds...

Freed started approaching Alex with a crazed expression.

I'm going to have to kill this one. For real.

...

"Asia!" Issei shouted into the darkness, running down the stairs.

"Asia!" He shouted again, before tumbling down the rest of the steps and landing on his ass.

"Ow, shit." He hissed, before getting up. "Hope nobody saw that."

"Well well well."

"Damnit!" And why do they always start with 'well well well'?

"If it isn't my ex boyfriend!" Yuuma Amano, or rather, the fallen angel Raynare said in a humorous tone.

Issei snapped his eyes in the voice's direction, and saw that at the end of the large underground room, Raynare stood next to a wooden altar. And chained up to it, was none other than Asia Argento.

"Asia!"

The blonde girl slowly lifted her head, as if it was taking all of her effort to do so. "Issei...?" She mumbled, before smiling. "You really came for me..."
