The Black Dragon

Pieces of Excalibur

The atmosphere in the ORC was tense to say the very less. With two sworn enemies looking at each other in the eyes. Devils and two exorcists from the church. While Rias, Akeno, and Koneko all seem on guard, they aren't exhibiting any other major emotions. Kiba and Asia, on the other hand, are different. The Gremory's knight has bloodlust oozing out of his body as he glares daggers into the two exorcists. While Asia is extremely nervous at the fact of two people from the church are here. To compensate for her fear she scoots closer to Zato trying to stay out of sight of the two holy women.

"Well isn't this convenient. I said their problem would end up dragging me into it and look at this. I've been dragged into it." Felix whispers to Zato.

"You involved yourself." Zato bluntly retorts. Once Zato utters this sentence Irina begins to speak and explain why the two of them are in Kouh.

"The other day three of the holy sword Excalibur were stolen while in storage under church care," Irina explains as Rias crosses her legs as looks at the two exorcists unamused.

"So even a sword a legendary as that can be broken," Zato says under his breath as Xenovia continues the conversation and begins to unwrap whatever was hidden behind a bundle of bandages.

"From the pieces of the broken Excalibur, seven new blades were created via alchemy. This one of them, Excalibur destruction." With that explanation done Xenovia reveals a sword. That sword is a two-handed blade with a long grip and a cross in the pommel. It contains an ax-like guard and a second grip with a chain-like form connecting the guard with the blade, the blade itself being huge and long that ends with 3 points. "This blade is currently under Catholic supervision."

"And mine is Excalibur Mimic," Irina states as she untiles a string around her arm that morphs into a katana in a matter of seconds. "It's really convent in that it can freely transform its shape," Irina explains as the tip of her sword reverts back into bandages, wrapping around her finger and forming a heart.

"So then, what's your business here?" Rias asks as she glances over at Kiba. His bloodlust still oozing from his body. "Sorry, Kiba please bear with it for the time being," Rias says in her head.

"Of the seven Excaliburs two each are held by the Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Churches, and the remaining one was lost during the three sided-war." Xenovia explains as Irine continues what her partner was saying.

"This discussion is about how one was stolen from each sect and brought here." Irina continues

"It seems that the church has grown careless. To thing three of their most important artifact would be so easily stolen." Rias says to the two exorcists. "So do you have any idea who stole the pieces?" Rias questions

"The one who stole them is the leader of the fallen angels. The ones who guard against the children of God. His name is Kokabiel." Xenovia states as Rias' eyes grow wide.

"Wow didn't expect such a big name to do something like this," Felix says with a whistle. Zato looks at his friend before asking a rather simple question.

"Who the hell is Kokabiel?" Zato asks

"He's one of the leaders of the fallen angel faction, although he's kinda the black sheep when compared to the other leaders. From what I hear the guy is completely off his rocker. But his name does appear in the bible and just from that you know he's extremely powerful" Felix explains

"You see he wiped out the exorcist covertly that was dispatched a few days ago. This is what brings us to our request, no our demand. You devils will not interfere with the battle between Grigori and us." Xenovia orders

"You're quite full of yourself, but on the Gremory name I will honor your request," Rias tells the two as Felix steps forward.

"Wow, time out. Can we rewind just for one hot second." Felix says as he walks toward his past church mates. "So a group of exorcists get slaughtered and then the church gets the bright idea to send you two and you except? Just how reckless are you, do you two indent to just throw your lives away?" Felix asks his old friends with a mix of concern and confusion.

"If the fallen angels make us of Excalibur they'll destroy everything without care," Irina tells Felix

"I don't expect you to understand, but we've dedicated our bodies to doing the lord's work. Besides the only thing that can stand against an Excalibur is an Excalibur." Xenovia continues

"Ok, that last part is bull and we both know. The original Excuibar wasn't broken by another Excalibur, there was only one at the time." Felix tells the blue hair exorcist.

"We don't actually intend to throw our lives away. Trust me we have this under control." Irina says with a smile as she and Xenovia begin to walk away.

"Well, our business here is done. Let's go home, Irina." Xenovia states as the to begin to leave. As the two approaches, the door Xenovia glances over at Asia and stops. "Are you the witch Asia Argento?" Xenovia asks as Asia goes from uncomfortable to terrified.

"I heard you drifted around due to being exiled, but I never would have imagined you would have become a devil," Irina says as she examines Asia. The ex-priestess trues to speak but is unable to utter even a single word. Irina's expression becomes sad before she speaks again. "Don't worry I won't tell the higher-ups I saw you here. It would come as a shock to many to hear of your current situation." Irina explains as Asia looks at the ground.

"But still to think you'd become a devil. Do you even still believe in our lord?" Xenovia questions

"Is a devil even allowed to have faith in the lord?" Irina asks

"Of course they are," Felix says as he steps between Xenovia and Aisa. "Last I checked the bible doesn't discriminate about who can worship God," Felix tells the two with a smirk.

"Still devils are the natural enemy to the lord, not to mention that she committed treason, yet she has lost her faith," Xenovai says

"It's just I can't let it go. I've always believed in it." Asia says nervously

"I see then it's better that we kill you," Xenovia says as she lifts her sword. "I'll behead you in the name of G-" Xenovia doesn't get to finish before the cold muzzle of a gun is pressed against her forehead.

"Now lets put that sword down. Nice and friendly like." Felix tells Xenovia his face stern.

"Would point that at-" Agian Felix cuts off Xenovia

"At an old friend. Well yes but whether or not I pull the trigger is up to you." Felix says seriously as Xenovia grits her teeth.

"Are challenging the church deserter?" Xenovia questions anger present in her tone.

"Maybe I am but I think I just did you a favor. If it wasn't for me you'd be fighting a real monster." Felix says as he free hand point over to Zato. The floor below his free cracked and his intent to kill flowing from his body even overshadowing Kiba bloodlust.

"This is just the moment I've been waiting for. If the two of you are figting I'll join you." Kiba says as blades erupts from the ground around him.

"And who are you?" Xenovia asks

"Your senpai but also a fail experiment." Kiba says in anger.
