The scarlet betrayal

The Plan

Umm hi?" Issei said from his position under his girls as he looked at the leaders of the alliance.

"Where the hell were you? Your signature disappeared during the mission." Vali asked curiously.

"We'd all like to know what happened and don't think you can talk your way out of an explanation mister." Le fay said in a serious voice.

"Well lets get comfortable then. It is a very long explanation." Issei said with a sigh as everyone nodded and moved to sit down on the couches waiting for Isseis story.

"So this is what happened..." Issei said as he revisited everything from his fight with cao cao. The run in with medusa, the appearance of the true longinus, being transported to limbo, meeting god, learning of the real history behind the end of the first great war, the longinus theory, the prophecy, the fight and his role in all of the things.

When he finished everyone was looking at him with varying looks of astonishment. However one person had her mind in a whole other direction. After a few minutes of silence Gabriel stood up and said "Excuse me. I will be going to rest."

As she left Issei stood up and made to move after her. He was however stopped by Michael who was wearing a blank expression on his face. After a few moments of staring into Isseis emerald green eyes he looked down and said "Please take care of her. She is the youngest of us all."

"You didnt even have to ask." Issei muttered as he walked past Michael and was soon in front of gabriels door. He wasnt surprised to find that it was locked. When she didn't respond after a few knocks Issei sighed before he melted into the shadows before reappearing in the room.

He felt a heart wrenching pain in his gut as he saw Gabriel sobbing into the pillow. Moving silently he sat down beside her and placed a hesitant hand on her shoulder. Her blue eyes met his emerald ones for only a moment after which she launched herself at him and began sobbing into his shoulder. Promptly Issei wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him until she was on top of him. He then sighed before rocking Gabriel a bit all the while muttering soothing words into her ears.

He felt his shirt get wet but didnt pay that fact any mind. He had other things to pay attention to, like one of his loves who was still sobbing her eyes out. Her cries continued for a good while after which she had gotten still. Looking down Issei found that she had fallen asleep. He then kissed her on the head with a sigh before placing a blanket on the two of them and going to sleep.

(The other room)

In another room all of the leaders of the alliance were all sitting down silently contemplating what they had been told. A few minutes later Azazel spoke up and said "So what are we going to do?" He said as he lightly sipped his wine.

"About what? The long term or the immediate problem." Sirzechs asked in a matter of fact voice.

"Lets focus on the immediate concern. Trihexa has already caused massive destruction in several areas already. We need to first find a way to keep it off the unaffected areas and the refuge camps." Azazel said.

"We have bolestered the barriers around all of our territories but they will only hold out for so long. To survive something of trihexas level we will need a major major power boost." Odin said as he gestured towards zeus, and some other faction leaders.
