The Chains that Bind (Highschool DxD x Ghost Rider Reader)

Chapter 33

Akeno gathered back up with the others in the karaoke, quickly detailing to everyone what it was that she had seen. The situation appeared dire, and though Rias wanted to scold Akeno for interfering, she thought it best for everyone to hurry and head to Issei's house to discuss what it was Akeno saw.

"Where's (F/N)?" Rias asked, as she gathered her things and stood up.

"I didn't see him outside anywhere," Akeno answered.

"Oh no," Asia said, covering her mouth. "You don't think that the Ghost Rider got him, did you?" Tears began to form in her eyes, as the image of his limp and lifeless body was quickly seared into her mind. His eyes filled with brimstone, not responding to her words at all, and all while the Ghost Rider just laughed his maniacal laugh.

"If he did, then we're gonna teach him a big lesson!" Issei said, punching his hand into his fist.

"While I do want to have a go against him, we cannot just jump into a fight. We need to be careful. Let's all split into a group of two and head to Issei's house," Rias said, earning a nod from everyone. "Me, Akeno, and Kiba are going to head right after we leave the building, the rest of you will walk left; it's the most direct path to his house. Koneko, hang back from Issei and Asia, scout out anyone that might be following us." Koneko nodded her head as she ate a final chip from a bag, proceeding to crumple the bag in her hand as if it were nothing but air. "Alright, let's go!"

As Rias and them left, the Rider continued down the street on his cycle.

Where are we going!? (F/N) asked, as he was stuck watching through the eyes of the Rider.

"We're going to church," he said. "We need to talk about what we went through."

We can do that back at the house! We need to regroup with Rias and them, they'll get suspicious!

"We cannot risk it. The Deceiver may be watching."

The Rider quickly drove to the abandoned church, the one where Asia was turned into a Devil after having lost her powers to another Fallen Angel. He went around the back and parked his bike, kicking the kickstand out to let the bike sit idly.

What's so important this time? Why can't we talk at the house, Rider? (F/N) asked.

"It involves Samael, the man whom Abaddon once served," the Rider answered.

And who is he?

"A dangerous one," the Rider answered again. "Samael was once considered 'the blind god'. He was once defeated, and turned into a dragon as a method of sealing him, similarly to the Red and White Dragon."

But...?

"But if he's escaped, then that means that everyone is in danger, especially if he seeks the Black Bible."

What is it?

"A dark tome," the Rider answered. "Capable of bringing about a kind of Revelations."

The end of the world...and he's looking for his book?

"Him and the Deceiver," he clarified. "If either of them get their hands on that book, then everyone, even your sister and your crush, will be killed."

So does that mean we're going to have to find the book first?

"Do you have any other suggestions?"

What if we take out Samael and the Deceiver? Think about it, the end of the world would happen soon if they already found it. That means that they haven't found the book, yet. If we take them out, then the end of the world doesn't happen and the book will remain hidden.
