Rias: and now he faces his first onslaught.
Akeno: you know mine will be no onslaught.
(Akeno enters)
Akeno: hey raw. You have no idea how much I've missed you.
Raw: I missed you too Akeno.
Akeno: you know that Issei and Rias have a thing?
Raw: wow really? Him?
Akeno: he's the red dragon emperor. And he saved her from being married to Riser.
Raw: Riser?! That bastard! she was promised to me.
Akeno: in your absence she was passed on to "the next best thing"
Raw: he is nothing compared to me! I'll have power to rival his in a month.
Akeno: is all you can think about Rias even though I'm in front of you?
Raw: sorry Akeno.
Akeno: I'm trying to think of a punishment.
Raw: please do as you deem necessary.
(Raw blushes)
Akeno: oh my raw I'll never forget how cute you are.
Raw: I do as you wish, although I cannot move much.
Akeno:Then I'll just have to do whatever I want with you.
(Later on the other side)
Akeno: my my, someone is happy to see me.
Issei: that lucky son of a bitch.
Koneko: perv.
Akeno: I'll remember where we left off.
(Akeno exits)
Xenovia: no one minds if I go next?
Kiba: go ahead.
(Xenovia enters)
Xenovia: I am Xenovia a knight in service to Lady Gremory.
Raw: I am Raw, the Gremory secret piece. Pleasure to meet you. I can tell that you are strong.
Xenovia: how do you know without seeing me fight?
Raw: your aura is strong and Rias doesn't take weaklings.
Xenovia: those words are kind. I didn't expect the most powerful devil to be this humble.
Raw: wait... you have a connection to a powerful sword... Durandal.
Xenovia: how did you know that?
Raw: I can sense it on you.
Xenovia: I can see how you're the most powerful.
Raw: right now I am definitely not the most powerful devil.
Xenovia: in time you will be again.
Raw: yeah there's no doubt about it.
Xenovia: you said that you would be able to teach me some new tricks?
Raw: I will. even master swordsman and swordswomen can learn new things. I will begin as soon as I can move swiftly to a regular standard.
Most people can't even see the best knights fight because they move faster than light.
Xenovia: I look forward to when you can teach me. Kiba is cute but he's not as warm hearted as you I'm glad you're around.
Raw: thanks. At least now people don't hate and fear me.
Xenovia: what do you mean?
Raw: people would fear me because of my power or hate me through envying my power and wishing they had it. Or even both. I'm starting to think that i should just stay weak and live a normal life... what am I saying? I can't do that, I swore oaths to Sirzechs, to Akeno and most importantly my master Rias, I fight. For her.
Xenovia: Raw you really care for Rias don't you?
Raw: I do.
Xenovia: and don't worry about your power the more you grow you can always mask your power and just use what is required so people don't think you're insanely strong.
Plus everyone here wants you to get stronger so we can be stronger as a family. We won't hate you with envy.
Raw: thank you Xenovia.
Xenovia: I'll take my leave.
(Xenovia exits and kiba enters)
Raw: hey.
Kiba: you feeling okay?
Raw: I'm fine just weak.
Kiba: you said you can use swords.
Raw: yes that I can.
Kiba: well what will you teach me.
Raw: a few of my own techniques. But to be honest all you and Xenovia need is someone who is faster than you and can swing harder than her.
Kiba: really?
Raw: if you are the best it's hard to get better but if you have a goal or a benchmark it's much easier.
Kiba: how did you grow stronger at such a fast rate then?
Raw: you do know I can teleport to other realities? I found a reality where the best fighters can destroy an entire solar system and I got to the point I could destroy a planet or two but what's the point?
Kiba: at your full power you can destroy planets?
Raw: yes, it's not that impressive though. Issei can do it with juggernaut drive. I've seen it in another reality.
Kiba: whoa really? Issei can do that? That's all I need to know man, thanks.
Raw: hey no problem.
(Kiba leaves and Rossweisse enters)
Raw: hey.
Rossweisse: hello there.
Raw: so what's up?
Rossweisse: oh nothing really I just haven't been around long and I don't know anything about you other than Akeno and Rias care for you and you're friends with Sirzechs.
Raw: that's the gist. My father was the last lucifer, my mother is lady Phoenix.
Rossweisse: aren't the Phoenix and the Gremory's enemies.
Raw: no we are allies unless Riser fucked something up.
Rossweisse: I heard he tried to force marriage on Rias.
Raw: When I get some strength I'll pay him a visit.
Rossweisse: oh I forgot to ask. With your heritage do you still have immortality?
Raw: I do.
Rossweisse: you really will be an asset to this team. I look forward to fighting alongside you.
Raw: I look forward to being able to fight.
Rossweisse: with your father being a lucifer shouldn't we worry about the chaos brigade?
Raw: the fuck is the chaos brigade?
Rossweisse: I forgot you haven't even been here as long as me. They are a group of terrorists and their leaders are a few highly skilled fighters like Vali and Orphis.
Raw: damn... Orphis... she is strong.
Rossweisse: you know her?
Raw: yes. The dimensional gap is constant and out of time. It is in every reality.
Rossweisse: that's a lot of information. Although it explains how there could have been a copy of Issei.
Raw: You got it. it can act like a bridge.
Rossweisse: thank you for the talk but I must go.
Raw: my pleasure, goodbye.
(Koneko enters)
Koneko: sup.
Raw: hey. Oh.
Koneko: what?
Raw: you're a Nekomata.
Koneko: the name's Koneko.
Raw: okay everything about you is cute.
(Koneko and Raw both blush)
Koneko: how did you know what I am?
Raw: I trained with a Nekomata in the dimensional gap.
Koneko: Kuroka?!
Raw: yeah. Wait is your true name shirone?
Koneko: my first name. my true name is Koneko and this is my true life.
Raw: that's a good answer.
(Raw smiles)
Koneko: why are you smiling?
Raw: Rias has herself a fine set of pieces.
Koneko: you make it finer.
Raw: is that a shy flirt I detect?
(She rests her head on his lap)
Koneko: comfy (yawn).
Raw: whoever is next come in!
(Issei and Asia enter)
Issei: she took no time.
Raw: Red dragon emperor.
Issei: Dark Phoenix.
(Raw's smile disappears)
Raw: that name is not one I chose. I am not a Phoenix. I'm a Gremory!
I've heard since my training started I have a little sister, if she deserves it I'll care for her but every other Phoenix can burn out for all I care.
Issei: calm down I thought that name was respectful.
Raw: it isn't it only shows my heritage.
Asia: but your heritage gave you your power.
Raw: my heritage gave me potential. My father forced me to train since I was 2.
Issei: damn... that's rough.
Raw: I don't mind it though, the training made me who I am.
Asia: that doesn't justify that cruelty!
Issei: Asia...
Raw:you're a strange one.
Asia: how so?
Raw: I sense holiness in you... that is very strange for a devil.
Asia: yes I used to be a nun.
Raw: that makes sense now but why become a devil?
Asia: because of Issei.
Raw: are you trying to work every girl in this team?
Issei: (of course I am I need my harem) umm... not really...no.
Raw: well I already heard that you're with Rias. Also, a warning, treat Rias badly, hurt her or endanger her and I will kill you.
Issei: why are you so uptight?
Raw: I was supposed to marry her. I love her and I hate seeing her hurt.
Issei: how many people are supposed to marry her?!
Raw: Riser was my replacement. I am the rightful groom of Rias Gremory but I would never force her like he did.
Issei: it's good to know that she wasn't supposed to marry Riser.
Raw: yeah Sirzechs hates Riser.
Sirzechs: I wouldn't say hate. More just dislike.
Issei: Sirzechs!
Raw: how are you friend?
Sirzechs: I've been good, are you up to date on even... why is she asleep on your lap?
(Raw shrugs)
Koneko: comfy...(yawns)
Sirzechs: anyway, as far as Rias goes the old arrangement is back she is to marry Raw, sorry Issei.
Issei: what?! After all I did?!
Sirzechs: please try to calm down.
Issei: How can I calm down? What does the president think of this?!
Rias: actually issei it was my idea.
Issei: but why?!
Rias: Issei... I love you but I have always belonged to Raw.
Raw: Rias... is this truly what you want?
Rias: I love you both equally. Raw is a pure blooded devil and holds the highest standing among devils other than the kings. It's better for the house of Gremory.
Raw: Rias you know you could marry me but be with issei.
Issei: you would allow that Raw?
Raw: if Rias wishes.
Rias: I... I don't know and it will take a long time to make that decision. For now I have both of you.
Raw: as you wish.
Issei: what?!
Rias: Issei! Don't forget your place I am your master. And you damn well better obey me!
Issei: President? Where did this come from?
Rias: You think with your penis Issei! You are meant to be my boyfriend but you don't even call me by my name!
(Issei tears up)
Rias: issei...
(Issei leaves)
Asia: I understand Rias. I'll try to help him.
(Rias begins to cry)
Raw: come here.
(Koneko jumps out of the way)
(Raw holds Rias)
Rias: I didn't want to hurt him! I love both of you!
Raw: I know Rias...I know.
(Sirzechs motions to Koneko to leave)
Sirzechs: you have a lot of time to decide... take your time.
Raw: listen to your brother.
Rias: we need to get back to the meeting.
Sirzechs: Raw can you walk.
Raw: yeah. I'll be fine.
(Raw stands up slowly, he stumbles but Rias catches him)
Raw: thanks.
(Rias smiles at Raw)
Raw: now that smile is worth all those years apart.
Rias: where did these smooth moves come from? You been training for this too?
