Betrayed To Hell And Back

Chapter 15: The Battle That Shook The World Pt 1

As Issei awoke, the first thing that came to his mind was the fight he was about to have with Great Red, he knew this fight would be his toughest one to date, he had no words as to what it would entail and how far he would need to be pushed to win it. He thought back to what Kokabiel said about Great Red having the home field advantage, he was right.

Great Red was one of the first beings that existed and took up his residence in the dimensional gap, so it would be expected of him to have gotten used to it. Issei knew it would be a tough fight when he stepped in there.

He would have to take the fight from the gap, however there was the question of how he would do that. The only way he could was use his power to rip a tear through the dimension, and if he did that it would be a waste of power.

He was suddenly brought out of his thoughts as he felt movement on his bed. He looked down to see Raynare, Kalawarner, Tiamat and Kuroka all sleeping in his bed.

Naked.

That's when he felt the same sensation he felt before when the fight with Tiamat ended, his instincts were growing stronger everyday. He remembered what Ddraig said about it.

That it was similar to a heat phase, and it was growing stronger.

Quickly shaking off those thoughts, he managed to weave his way out from the girls who had a death grip on him and proceeded to go downstairs to prepare for the fight.

As he walked downstairs he noticed some lights on, he wondered who it could be at this hour. Since after all it was still pretty early, so he was surprised to see Penemue watching tv.

Seeing no one else downstairs, he sat down next to her. Which made her jump a bit, she obviously was surprised to see him down here, and she was alone with him.

"So your the new member huh?" He mumbled to himself.

She didn't know what to say, and she knew she had to say something to avoid suspicion. However what she didn't know is this conversation was about to change her whole world, and everything she knew.

Her morals and ideals were going to be thrown out the window, with no hope of returning.

"So what made you want to join up with us huh? I mean everyone has some reason to want to start anew." He said.

She wondered what he meant by that.

"Azazel has been paranoid along with the other factions, they have started mobilizing to prepare for war, it was just too much." She lied.

It was somewhat the truth, but somewhat a lie. She stared curiously at him as he looked at her. He then laughed.

"Serves them right, after all that happened to me. They deserve what is coming." He said to himself.

She heard it though, and it made her wonder what really happened. Sure she heard from Azazel the gist of it, but she knew there was more to it. So with her here now, she wanted to know the full truth badly.

"Can I ask what happened?" She asked.

He looked at her for a second, he was about to speak up, but she continued.

"Azazel did tell me somewhat of what happened, but he never really did go in full detail what made the betrayal so tough on you." She said softly.

She honestly had no idea why she was saying this. Maybe it was a part of her starting to put the pieces together, however another part wondered would she like the outcome when she learned what truly happened.

She listened to him sigh, she knew it was tough for him to talk about, but this? If he was hesitating, it meant there was definitely more to it than she originally thought.
