The Golden Dragon Empress (HighSchool DxD)

The Battle At Kuoh Academy

The Occult Research Club and the Student Council immediately rushed to Kuoh Academy once it became clear where Kokabiel was planning to start his war.

"We've covered the entire school in a large protective barrier, if nothing drastic happens, it should be able to keep everything within from getting damaged." Sona said, watching as her Peerage collectively used their magic to form said barrier.

Sona then turned to Rias, "My servants and I will continue to hold the barrier in place to reduce the damages, I want to minimize as much as possible. It will be hard to prevent our school from getting damaged, but it looks like we must since it's the leader of the Fallen-Angels who is moving."

"Thank you, Sona." Rias replied.

"To tell you the truth, if Kokabiel were to fight seriously, not only this academy, but the whole region would be annihilated. Adding to that, he has already gotten prepared for that; my familiar has seen him releasing his power at the school grounds." Sona explained.

A purple magic circle appeared behind the group, revealing the traveler to be Tsubaki.

"Tsubaki-senpai, how is Irina?" Issei asked.

"Her condition is not life-threatening; she can thank Asia for that." Tsubaki answered as she walked past the ORC and towards her master.

Asia smiled, "What a relief."

"Yeah, but we still haven't heard from Kiba or Xenovia." Issei said aloud, still worried about the two.

"They'll be here." Natsuki assured.

Issei turned to Natsuki, "How do you know? I mean, we know they got away when Irina was attacked but a lot could've changed."

"I don't know Xenovia, but I know Kiba and he's not an idiot. He most likely would've stayed low after he and the girls were originally caught. Besides, like Sona-Kaichou said, Kokabiel is releasing his power all over the place. It will be a beacon for pretty much every supernatural in the area." Natsuki explained.

You haven't lost him yet, have you, Midnight? Natsuki thought, reaching out to her familiar through their link.

No, I still have the Knight's scent. He is heading in the direction of your school. Midnight answered back.

Sona's gaze sharpened as she looked in the direction of the school, her eyes filled with hatred. "Rias, our enemy is a monster with strength far above ours. It's still not too late, we can get your Oni-sama-"

Rias shook her head, looking at her friend with a smirk, "You know what I don't see? You trying to contact your Onee-sama."

Sona returned the smirk, only hers was more rueful, "With good reason too. Your brother loves you, Sirzechs-sama will definitely move, there's no doubt that he'll come here as soon as you call him. So, call him."

Before Rias could respond, Akeno spoke over her, "There is no need, I have already informed Sirzechs-sama."

"Akeno! How can you do that without asking me first?!" Rias snapped, shocked, and angered by her friend and Queen acting without her knowledge.

Akeno glared back at her King, her expression deathly serious, "Rias, I understand that you don't want to cause problems for Sirzechs-sama or bother him unless we absolutely must. But our enemy is a Leader-Class Fallen Angel; he's not someone you can take down on your own." Akeno then smiled, "I think that qualifies this as a must."

Rias did not hold onto her anger for long, sighing, "Fine."

Akeno gave her King a closed eyed smile, "I thank you for your consideration, Buchou. Sirzechs-sama is on his way, I believe that his forces should arrive here in within the hour."
