The Last Vampire [DXD]

Volume 3 - Prologue

It's been six months since I defeated my father and we destroyed the Înviere. Since then, the factions that I once hated have become my allies. Sirzechs, Azazel, and Michael are actually my respected comrades.

Together, we have achieved and maintained relative peace. But like all things in my immortal life, there was a severe change in plans. Vampires, my fellow Vampires have been getting staked and beheaded recently. I'm not sure if it's the cause of Avalon or Rogue Devils but whoever's doing it is doing it purposely.

They leave them out in the open, with strange markings on their bodies. We all expect it to be the ignorant and stubborn Devils who can't come to terms with peace that's doing the killings.

For that exact reason, I am holding a meeting with the Leaders of the other Factions so I can get to the bottom of it.

I arrived soon after a few minutes of traveling to the Underworld. We're meeting at the same place where I first conspired against them a little over year ago. It was a nostalgic place to say the least.

"Astral, I'm pleased you can make it. You look well. How are Celeste and Astraeus?" Michael said kindly as he outstretched his hand for a handshake.

Firmly shaking his hand, I responded to his question, "They're both fine. Astraeus is getting older and is starting to look more like me with each day that passes. And Celeste is... trying to get accustomed to everything that's been going on recently."

Azazel walks in, smirking devilishly as always. "You mean with the new girlfriend you have? So was it the Human or the Nekomata? Hard to remember with all the different affairs you're involved with, Blackwell." He mocked with a chuckle.

What he was talking about was my relationship with Kuroka. And well with Katase too. For a good month, Katase and I flirted while she simultaneously slept with Vraes. When I found out, I more or less almost killed Vraes but after that I let it go. And to console me, Kuroka swooped in and confronted me.

Now, she's my girlfriend also. It's a pretty crazy 6 months to say the least...

"Thank you, Azazel, for telling the entire Supernatural world of my situation." I said sarcastically with a small smile.

Sirzechs soon walked in and the mood changed from goofy to serious immediately as we observed how tender he seemed.

"It's not just Vampires getting murdered. Devils, my people are being slaughtered as well."

"So have the Fallen Angels. I thought that it was you, Sirzechs. Having my people being put down like dogs." Azazel said with a glare.

"No, no. It was not Sirzechs. The Devils aren't responsible for this. It must be the work of the group of Vampires." Says Michael.

"Avalon? The last attempt to kill us was my ancestor Dracula and that was a great failure. I don't think killing any of people would benefit them. Unless they want to start a war within the Factions?" Astral said.

There was a silence for a few minutes. They all sat in thought for a little while. Who could it be? Astral wanting revenge for happened a year ago when Rias Gremory almost killed him? Azazel wanting another Great War? Or maybe Astral was right, Avalon wanted to stir drama between the Faction leaders. Hoping it'd result in war.

Astral opened his mouth as soon as he went to accuse Michael, there was a small knock at the door. The small knock soon turned into furious pounding. It was Kuroka Toujou. She bore a panicked expression as she walked into the room, walking straight towards Astral.

"What's wrong with you, Kuroka?"

"I think we all have a big problem." She said, fidgeting around.

"A few months ago, after we fought with Tazgos and your dad, the place exploded. And along with that, Înviere exploded as well right?" She says, still it wasn't making much sense though.

What was she trying to get at?

"The killings are happening to members of all races. And plus, I've been watching over the Human Faction and they're getting murdered too. By Vampires."

"So you think it's Avalon then? We took out a few of the members already... Why would they still try to fight us?" I asked as she rolled her eyes with a sigh.

"No, Astral. It's not Avalon. Well maybe it is but they have to be getting controlled."

"Controlled by what? What could be stronger than them already? They almost took down Astral by themselves." Sirzechs says. Kuroka scoffs at us and then says it outright.

"Înviere wasn't destroyed in the explosion. We went back to help rebuild and we saw it, fully functioning even though it had some burns." Kuroka said. No one else really knew what she meant because we didn't tell them about Înviere.

"Well, what does that mean for us, Astral?" Michael asks.

"Well in lame man terms, my grandfather is here to kill us all. And unlike my father, there's probably no chance of us beating him."

We can never have a moment of peace in Japan... Ugh.

A/N: Third Volume :3   I didn't think it'd last this long, I planned to just end it at the first one with Astral's death being a permanent thing and not a resurrection but look at us now. This volume won't make as much sense if you just skipped through the last volume so I suggest you read that one fully before reading this.
