The Dark Mosai (Highschool DxD X OC)

Chapter 18: Clashing blades

*Theda pov*

I was standing in the shadow in the club meeting room. Before us were two members of the church. Both of them have excalibur swords. I was admittedly starting to regret my decision on bringing Evalyn here, but Trihexa had other things to worry about. She was going through a... cycle to put it lightly. Anyway, hearing the conversation and already things were getting problematic. So someone from the fallen angel faction stole three excaliburs and the fallen angels are the ones responsible. There are few I know that would be either brave or foolish enough to pull a stunt like that. I stood back in the shadows until Xenovia threatened Asia. Before she could draw her sword, I cast soul shackle to restrain her in place.

Xenovia: What the? What did you do devil?

Rias: That isn't my doing. That would be someone else.

Theda: Me.

I emerged from the shadows with Evalyn in my arms.

Xenovia: Who are you? Release me at once.

Theda: Do you honestly think you can make demands in the position you're in?

Xenovia: In the name of the lord, you will release me!

If only she knew of God's fate.

Theda: Fine, The name's Theda Tamashi. I would appreciate it if you'd stop yelling. You're scaring my daughter.

Evalyn was clinging onto me tightly while flowers started to form around her as if to create a protective cocoon.

Xenovia: What are you to claim that an angel is your daughter?

She did not just say that.

Theda: I would be more respectful towards your betters, human. If I so wished, I could kill you before you could begin a prayer. I am the rider of the pale horse, the ender of all life. I. Am. Death.

That seemed to shock her and her partner, Irina, I believe is her name.

Irina: Wait! You're Death?!?! Like, The Grim Reaper?!?!

Theda: Yes. Before you ask, no the apocalypse isn't starting... yet. And yes, this is my daughter, Evalyn.

Evalyn: Hi!

Before I could say more, Irina was right in front of me, ogling my daughter.

Irina: Well hello there cutie pie!

Evalyn just giggled as Irina expressed her energetic personality. From looking into her soul, I could tell she wasn't a threat to me or my daughter. Xenovia hoever, I could sense the malice in her and her delusions.

Xenovia: Irina, don't make friends with our possible enemies and help release me!

That scared Evalyn and made her start crying. I sent a glare at Xenovia. No one scares or makes my daughter cry and gets away with it. My stare seemed to shake off any front she was trying to put on as fear came plastered on my face. I handed Evalyn to Asia so I could have a few 'words' with her. The former nun knew things were about to get a little ugly so she covered my girls eyes while Issei covered her ears.

Theda: For a member of the church, you really are pretty damn stupid. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be wielding those swords.

Xenovia: What are you talking about?

Theda: What do you think, genius? *releases her* Thousands of years ago, I destroyed the original Excalibur into the pieces they are now. They were supposed to be my gift to humanity to use wisely, only to find what the church has done in that 'project'. Now get out before I show you why heaven wants to stay in my good graces.

Xenovia: Fine. We'll take our leave. For being the one known as the hand of god, I would never expect you to ally yourself with devils.

Theda: I bend to no will but my own. My business is my own. No go.

Before they left, Kiba came in, challenging them. I could tell he was still on that obsession of his. With that mindset, he will die before he could get his revenge. We stood outside as I watched the fight. It was Xenovia vs Kiba and Irina vs Issei. With all honesty, this was all one sided. Kiba was fast, but he's not exactly a powerhouse. Issei... It was kinda obvious he was less than competent as a fighter. All of a sudden, he had this look that... oh no.

Koneko: You should be careful. That perv has the power to make girls clothes disappear.

Irina: What? Their clothes?!?!

Issei: Koneko! Why are you sharing information to the enemy?

Koneko/Theda: Because you're the enemy to all women.

Issei: You know, some of the things you really hurt.

Theda: Reality hurts Perv.

Irina: Issei, I can't believe what you've become. Not only are you a devil, but now your heart is filled with such wickedness. Dear god, I hope with your divine wisdom you never forgive this sinful pervert.

I never thought I'd say this, but...

Theda/Koneko: Preach it sister.

I watched as the fight went on until Issei pounced. He missed Irina and ended up using dress-break on Asia and Koneko. I gave the perverted lizard a glare before giving him a right hook. Kiba on the other hand lost due to his blind rage.

Theda: Tell me, which fallen angel stole the excalibur?

Xenovia: The leader of the gregori's, Kokobial.

I felt everything in me freeze. That name...

Theda: W-Who did you s-say it was?

Xenovia: Kokobial. Why?

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Him... I never thought I'd hear that name again. Everything was muffled out as I had my mind racing with all the old memories and scars.

Rias: Theda? Theda?!?!

Theda: Huh?!?!

Rias: Are you alright? You seem... off.

Theda: I uh...

I spread my wings and flew back home as quickly as I could. I got to get my daughter and myself out of here.

*Rias pov*

I watched in surprise as Theda flew off. Once Kokobail was mentioned, he looked as if he was... afraid. What could it be that could scare him?
