Highschool DxD: The Game (Early Work)

Part #55. An Upcoming Battle.

On a bright and sunny day in the underworld, the Gremory team was resting back at the hotel. Kyu had commandeered his own room, which had been sealed off from the rest of the building. If anyone were to try and look for his room, the only thing they would see was a blank wall. Oddly enough, several packages were delivered to the hotel, but whenever someone saw them, they disappeared. This was of course, Kyu's doing.

Suddenly, the entire area suddenly turned black and white, and Issei could spot a brigade of people wearing dark cloaks.

The Gremory Clan insignia on the members of the Peerage (and the honorary member) suddenly glowed as Rias summoned them. Akeno and Koneko went up to the floor Kyu told them his room was on to get him, but they were having trouble finding him.

Akeno: "I thought he said his room was on the sixth floor." She said.

Koneko: "...He did." She stated.

Akeno: "Why didn't he tell us which room it was?" She sighed.

Koneko shrugged before the white cat ears on her head twitched.

Koneko grabbed the back of Akeno's shirt and stopped her from walking, just before something shot out of the wall and lodged itself into the opposite wall.

Koneko: "...A hammer...?" She asked.

The two girls looked into the hole the hammer shot through, and all they saw, were green glowing eyes staring back at them.

Akeno: "Why would you seal yourself in a room and not bring any food with you?" She asked the boy, who was happily munching on potato chips.

Kyu made some noises, but he held his finger up before swallowing the mouth-full of tater slices.

Kyu: "All of the food I brought mainly consisted of meat. And I'm trying to embrace the Air Nomad culture, so I've gotta be vegetarian for a while." He said.

Koneko took the bowl away from Kyu before sitting down in his lap and putting the bowl on her lap.

Koneko: "Why?" She asked.

Kyu: "Well, I plan on becoming the Avatar, and mastering the four types of bending isn't the entire job. They also have to master the different cultures." He stated.

Akeno: "...The Avatar is fictional, Kyu-kun." She pointed out.

Kyu: "So is everything else I do." He retorted.

Akeno opened her mouth to respond, but she stopped herself and looked down at the ground before contemplating life.

Rias: "Guys! Pay attention!" She told them.

Koneko/Akeno: "Sorry, President." They said.

Kyu: "No promises." He stated.

Rias sighed and begun explaining the situation and what they were going to do.

Basically, they were under attack by Hades' underlings, Grim Reapers, and the only way to destroy the alternate space they were brought to, is to find a special marker and destroy it. After casting a spell on a map she had obtained, Le Fay had deduced that there were three markers that they had to destroy. The markers were statues of a snake biting its own tail.

As soon as Kyu heard that, he stood up and began walking out of the room.

Le Fay: "Where are you heading, Kyu-san?" She asked.
