The Sword Master

Chapter 20: Song 2

Aiden turns to Sona and bows slightly. "Hello Lady Sitri."

"Mr. Phoenix."

"Just call me Aiden. And... Gremory."

"Phoenix. How's big brother?"

"Depends on who you're asking about? I haven't seen Ruval or Reliv in a while, as for the shithead, heard that since he got booted out of the family he's been trying to find a job as a low-class devil. I honestly think he's currently finding work as a man-whore."

"Yes well, serves him right."

Aiden grins. 'That's for sure."

"Sirzechs is on his way. I believe that his force should arrive here in just about an hour."

Aiden grins with a silly smile. "Ooo it's an Ironman challenge. Hear that Damian. The boyhood dream will be realized."

"That makes us HBK and him Bret Heart. So does that mean we're gonna have a screw job in Montreal in a year and a half?"

Aiden snorts. "Probably."

Rias turns to Akeno as the boys have their conversation. "Good grief girl. I cannot win against you can I? Should be a fun hour."

The team's that will fight all head towards battle. Rias describes her plan for her and Ian's side while Aiden discusses his plan with Damian, Crystal, and Raynare.

"Issei I need you on support this time." Rias says now speaking like a commander.

Issei turns to her confused. "Support?"

"I want you to use your ability to transfer your power to the rest of us to enhance our strength."

"No problem. I'm all over it."

Crystia turns to Rias. "Wait, all of us or...?"

"In the meantime I think we can stall until he can transfer his power to everyone."

Akeno smiles. "Yeah, I bet we can manage that."

Koneko nods. "Absolutely."

Crystia speaks to herself in the background. "Oh, I'm being ignored."

"Issei!"

"I'm still here." He responds somewhat sarcastically.

"Yes and we're counting on you."

"Right."

"Let's concentrate on being on the offensive for this battle."

Aiden now speaks just before they enter the courtyard. "You guys focus on offense Damian will focus on support fire alongside Crystal."

"We have to get into the school and stop Kokabiel from unleashing his power, whatever that may be. Unlike the fight with Riser our lives will be at risk this time. But believe me I won't allow us to die today."

"You know the rules you three, if it moves, it dies. If it dies you move on. Damian, Crystal you two keep those magic grenades coming as well as your bullets raining and most importantly to everyone else have fun. I'm going to have a smoke."

Damian grins glancing to Aiden while stepping up a stair. "No offense, boss. But your being rather casual about this. I mean, as casual as usual. But aren't we dealing Kokabiel here."

"Exactly. Knowing him he'll be overconfident as all hell. It'll be quite the surprise when he sees us."

Rias turns to everyone watching Damian and Crystal vanish up the stairs with a lot of firepower. "We will survive my servants, Friends and Aidens group. We will survive so we can go to school again once more."
