The Twist We Need

Childhood Friend

Tannin laughed with Surtr about what was happening with Issei. "The young lad did it. This might be the first time where we will have a dragon hatchling and a devil being together."

"Not just a devil, the strongest devil of all time." Surtr added."Issei really does do the most random shit and scores the best."

"Something tells me someone is pulling the strings from somewhere for this to happen." Tannin added while traveling with Surtr towards Issei's location.

Surtr laughed at Tannin's implications, "Don't worry your little head about this. Now we have orders to be surveillance for Issei."

"Doesn't mean we can't troll him." Landing right in front of the palace, Issei bursted through the door and continued running.

"WE NEED TO LEAVE!"

"What? Why?"

"Don't question it! We got an angry Lucifer behind us."

Sirzechs followed with an angry aura that shot fear into the two giants. "GET BACK HERE! YOU LIKE MY MOTHER SO MUCH, THEN GO TO HER THEN!"

"I TOLD YOU IT WAS NOT LIKE THAT!" Grabbing onto Tannin and hiding behind his back, Issei poked his head out and grinned, "Tell me what you going to do now?"

Sirzechs appeared behind Issei and grabbed him by the shirt. "I can move faster than you can think."

"Oh... Did anyone ever tell you that you look absolutely gorgeous?"

Sirzechs blushed before shaking her head and glaring, "I'm immune to that shit now."

"Woah, you got something stuck on your shit." Sirzechs looked confused and looked down. Issei took this chance and kissed her forehead and left her a blushing mess.

"That was a kiss..."

"That was my life saver." Issei quickly nodded to Surtr and Tannin and teleported the fuck out of there with them. Sirzechs grabbed the spot where Issei kissed her and smiled brightly.

"I'm going to write that down somewhere and make sure to remember it for my entire life!" Sirzechs screamed while running inside her palace ignoring the fact that Issei escaped.

Issei landed on the ground right in front of his house to see a few hooded figures right in front of him. Beside Issei was Tannin and Surtr so he was fine if these two were threats.

"Who the hell are you two?"

"We don't need to tell..."

Being interrupted by her friend, one of the hooded figures removed their hood and revealed a beautiful girl around Issei's age smiling brightly at him. "Issei! I can't believe it is you. It has been forever since we last talked to each other."

"Yo Issei, you know this chick?"

Turning to Surtr and shaking his head, Issei was bamboozled with who this person was. "Excuse me, but do I know you?"

Gasping in offense, the girl dramatically began crying, "It's been a decade, and you already forgot about me. Did I mean so little to you?"

"Wait... No way, this can't be real." Issei began backing away. "Rin!"

Squealing in happiness, Irina launched herself right into Issei and toppled over him. "I knew you would remember. I missed you so much while I was away."

Before she could continue any forth, Tannin intervened and lifted Irina off of Issei. "Sorry little one, but try not to be too close to Issei."

Turning to see the huge dragon, Irina began shivering in fear in realizing who was in front of her. It was known throughout the supernatural world that there was a dragon king that sided with the devils, and knowing that Issei was now a devil thanks to the rating game he participated in, Irina knew that this was Tannin. She didn't notice that the dragon, now she was noticing the other giant on the other side, since she was paying attention to Issei magically appearing in front of her.

"SORRY!" Irina screamed before leaping away and standing right behind Xenovia.

Tannin blinked a couple of times before beginning to laugh, "Don't worry about me. I'm just here to make sure this idiot next to me doesn't do something stupid. I'm not going to hurt you unless if you step out of line."

Xenovia still looked unamused and turned to Issei, "Do you know who the ruler of this land is?"

"Yes... Why do you want to know?"

"We have some very important business to speak with the rulers."

Seeing as though this didn't involve Issei at all, Issei shrugged and said, "Rias is near the school. Not only that, if you speak with one of them, the other ruler will show up."

Xenovia nodded and began walking away with Irina clinging to her. However, Surtr appeared right in front of her. "What business?"

Xenovia looked up at the giant, still unfazed. "It does not concern you."

Leaning down and staring right into her eyes, Surtr spoke, "Between me and you, let's be real here. Tell me what is happening. The ruler of this land is my master. You are not worthy of meeting her. I will say this once more... Tell me what is happening now."

Sensing the immense power behind Surtr, Xenovia began trembling. This power was on the power of Michael himself... Backing away until she tripped causing her hoodie to fall revealing her face, Xenovia looked up in slight fear. She didn't know who this person was, but this beings power was enough to bring fear that even the great Michael couldn't.

"I...I...I apologize." Xenovia got up and continued, "I will tell you what is happening. The pieces of Excalibur have been stolen."

Instead of being shocked, Tannin and Surtr snorted in amusement. "Oh, the twigs have been stolen. Did you hear that Tannin?"

"It was about time that would happen. I'm surprised that someone didn't do it before."

Xenovia was baffled with how easily they brushed off her statement. Are they idiots? Excalibur's pieces were missing... Some of the most powerful blades were missing. "How can you say that? Excalibur is one of the most powerful blades in history. It being missing should be a crisis."

Continuing to mock the girl, Surtr began shaking his arms in the air. "OH NO! I'M SHAKING IN MY BOOTS! BUAHAHAHAHA! Little one, those toothpicks are far from being deadly to us higher beings. Tannin's nails are probably more dangerous than those toothpicks. The moment that the great sword of Arthur was shattered, the fear of that blade shattered with it."

"Kokabiel is the suspect behind stealing them!" Dropping the bomb, both Tannin and Surtr stopped laughing and realized that this could be an issue.

"You could have started with that." Surtr nodded to Tanin and walked towards him. "Issei, this is a command, rush to Rias Gremory and make sure you two are near each other. At least you both can protect each other for now. We will speak with Sirzechs about this."

Issei nodded knowing there was no room for arguing. With that, the two behemoths disappeared behind a teleportation circle leaving Issei and the two church women behind. "I think things are going to get very bad soon."
