Issei had just won his battle against Riser and he was just arriving back at the party that was supposed to be for the wedding between Rias and Riser.
However, Issei said fuck that and crashed it. He managed to stop the wedding and save Rias. As he came back the members of Rias's peerage hug him. Rias even kissed the red dragon perv.
Sirzech smiled at this, however, his smile was cut short when a cloaked figure appears atop a glyph. All the devils stop and look at the man. Some even get ready to fight.
The figure looks around the room before speaking. "I would advise against wasting your magic. For this is but a projection of myself made od magic." The figure explains
"Who are you!" Sirzech demands to know.
"Who I am is not important at the moment. What I have to say is quite important though." The figure explains.
"And what is that?" Grayfia asks as she glares at the figure
"I shall not, how do say beat around the bush here. I would like for you all to give me full control of the devil faction." The figure says with a bow.
Laughter fills the room before someone speaks.
"Hand over control of the faction oh that's rich." One devil laughs
"I see. Well, I'll give you some time to think about it. Please make the right decision." The figure says
"No need. The answer is no. The devil faction will not bow to you." Sirzech says in a serious tone.
"Very well. I respect your decision and dedication to your faction. However please remember I provided you with a way to avoid what is to come next." The figure says before vanishing.
(Scene change. Outside the underworld)
The figure who is Astral opens his eyes and removes his hood.
"Did they surrender?" Asks Astral's knight, Shirou. As he sits on a nearby rock
"No, no they did not. Unforchitly it appears violence is the only way to bring about change now." Astral says with sorrow in his voice. "I will not force you to fight. If you chose to, you may leave. I will not stop you or hold anything against you." Astral informs his knight.
Astral looked to the ground. Could he do this? Sure he wanted to bring change but he was about to attack his own kind, his own people! Could he really do this? Shirou notices his king's sorrow and speaks.
"Ya know back in my youth, I wanted to be a hero. Not just any hero a real badass one. I wanted to right the wrongs of the world and bring peace to all." Shirou tells his king. "However life didn't go the way I wanted."
Astral looked at his knight. "If I may be so bold to asks. What happened?"
"I was hit by reality. I learned that heroes, well they don't exist, the world has too many wrongs to right, and peace is nothing but a concept." Shirou goes on.
"I was lost after this realization. My hopes, beliefs, dreams, and morals had all been crushed, right in front of me. I didn't know what to do. That was until you found me. I was hesitant to trust you at first but you showed me the way and you also rekindle something, I thought died inside of me long ago." Shirou goes on
"Oh, and what did I rekindle?" Astral asks
"Everything. You showed me that there are people and causes still worth fighting for. You helped me escape the darkness that I was trapped in. You saved me from me." Shirou says while putting his hand on his king's shoulder
"I guess what I'm trying to say is that there I'll fight by your side till the bitter end and so will everyone else here. Now it's time for you to help your people. Or will you abandoned them?" Shirou asks. "Ha, what am I saying you never abandon those in need." Shirou then walks to join the army
Astral Smiles and stands atop a run-down castle and gives a speech to rally his troop.
"Men and women who are here. You all have my thanks. I wish to bring about change, but I also do not wish for blood to be shed." Astral begins
"Oh come on!" Alucard his mutated bishop shouts out disappointed
"So I beg of all you, strike down your enemy but do not take their life. We fight for change, not for death. We are the bringers of change not the bringers of death! So let us fight for the change the devil kind deserve! Who's with me!?" Astral shouts
The soldiers all shout back in admiration and determination. His army is made of low ranking devils, stray devils that were given that title without the higher up devils even looking into why they betrayed their master, and reanimated souls who agreed to come back.
(Astral's soldiers. There a couple of thousand of them)
"Now let us move forward, so we can claim victory and bring about the better tomorrow!" With more excited shouts for his army, Astral says the words many had been waiting for.
"CHARGE!" Astral shouts as his army, peerage and himself charge toward the underworld ready to fight.
(Back with Sirzech)
The party continued with the devils paying little mind to the message they received. However, it turned into a party to celebrate the canceling of Rias's arranged marriage.
However, the joy in the room fades as a massive crash could be heard and a soldier cine running through the door.
"We're under attack!" Shouts a devil who's job it is to patrol the walls.
"What!?" Sirzech asks.
"We're devil faction is under attack lord. We're surrounded from all side and even the sky isn't safe." The guard explains
Quickly looking out the window. Serzich sees what's happening. His soldiers are fighting against an unknown enemy force form every angle.
Turning to his people he directs them. "We're under attack! Everyone ready yourselves for battle." Serzich shouts
The higher up devils nod as they summon their wings and fly out the door and into battle. Before leaving with the other great devil Serzich tell his sister and Sona to stay near the back of the fighting. He says they're not ready for war yet.
The two kings agree and so The remaining devils fly off into battle.
