Shrine
3rd Person POV
Ryota, Issei and Akeno were all now in the shrine, and they sat before Michael. Well, Akeno sat happily between them.Ryota's Mind: (What could Michael be doing here?)
Suddenly, a light flashed before them and a sword was now before them.
Ryota's Mind: (That's a Holy Sword.)
Michael: Behold, young pervert.
Issei: C'mon, man!
Michael: This is Ascalon. This Holy sword has also earned another name. Dragon Slayer.
Issei and Ryota's eyes widened.
Ryota: A historic sword.
Issei: Wow. Helluva nickname.
Michael: It is a name the sword's previous wielders quite capably earned. Many dragons fell to the power contained in this blade.
Issei: That would explain why I was feeling on edge.
Michael: Fear not, Issei Hyoudou, for this weapon was sent unto you from on high.
Issei: Dude. For real?
Michael: For real indeed. In the hope that you might assimilate it into your Boosted Gear.
Ryota's Mind: (Michael is a lot cooler than I imagined.)
Michael: I do apologize, Ryota Hinokami. But I do not have a sword. Otherwise, Lady Amaterasu would've allowed me to give one to you.
Ryota: I figured Amaterasu would do something like that. I am her Avatar, after all.
Issei turned his head to Ryota.
Issei: That's still crazy for me to think man. So, does that mean gods like Susanoo and Tsukuyomi have crazy, badass avatars as well?
Ryota shook his head.
Ryota: No. As far as I know, it's been nearly 3 centuries since Susanoo had an avatar. And Tsukuyomi's previous avatar died around 80 years ago.
Issei: Wow. That long?
Ryota: That's the reality. Being considered a Big 3 Japanese God's Avatar is considered a blessing.
Michael: If we may get back on topic, Red Dragon Emperor.
Issei turned to Michael.
Michael: I've heard your reputation as the weakest host in history, and hope the might of Ascalon will give you the necessary strength in times of tribulation.
Issei looked down with shame.
Issei: History's weakest? Well, it's totally not for lack of trying, Your Angelness. It still really sucks to hear it though.
Issei then looked up in confusion.
Issei: But why would you give it to me?
Michael: Hear me, child. The time has come for all of us to work together. Or die trying. The Great war ended large scale fighting, but, as you know, we still have small skirmishes.
