"Call it a Miracle or what have you." Kiba muttered, his eyes harsh as he advanced upon the Archbishop, Emiya dismissing the blades imprisoning him with a snap of his fingers "Either way, prepare yourself; Valper Galilei. For the crimes committed against my friends and I; I shall happily do the Church's dirty work and end you myself."
"Kiba…" Issei muttered, torn between his sympathy for the Knight and his morals. While he'd adapted pretty easily to being a devil, Issei had been born Human, and as such was still rather squeamish at the thought of taking a human life, even as twisted a life as Freed Sellzen's.
While he could understand Kiba wanting to get revenge for his comrades that Valper sacrificed for his twisted research, the fact remained that the old man was virtually defenceless without Freed to back him up, and judging by the sneer on Kokabiel's face, the Fallen was enjoying the floor show far too much to even think about intervening on the Archbishop's behalf.
Strangely enough, out of everyone here, Valper Galilei seemed to be the only one ignorant of his situation, the Archbishop of Genocide's eyes locked onto Kiba's Balance Breaker, taking in every nuance of the Sword of Betrayal, as if hoping to divine the secrets of the universe from it.
"Yes…" he breathed, understanding returning to his eyes as he stared at his hands "Yes, I see! I understand now!" He dropped to his knees in reverence "Holy and Demonic! Everything makes sense if the balance between the two is skewed!" he began to cackle madly "Which means…to think that not only the Satans but even God-!"
Whatever he had been about to say was promptly cut off with a torrent of blood as a Spear of Light pierced him from behind, pinning him to the ground, the look of realization giving away to confusion once more before the light faded from his eyes.
"I'm honestly impressed you managed to come to that conclusion, Valper Galilei." Kokabiel mused, his expression laced with mocking approval as he dismissed the Spear of Light with a snap of his fingers "I suppose you weren't known as a genius for nothing."
"What are you playing at, Kokabiel?" Rias demanded, the Gremory Heiress glaring accusingly up at the Fallen, having used the time between Shirou's revelation and Kiba's defeat of Freed to receive healing from Asia, who even now was currently attending to Akeno "Wasn't Valper on your side?"
"Indeed, his idea to create an army of Holy Sword wielders appealed to me greatly, even if his true objectives were so easily apparent." Kokabiel admitted with a dismissive sneer "Still, as capable as he was, I never truly needed his help to achieve my objectives; it was simply amusing to me to watch him fawn over a fake like it was the genuine article."
That's right. From the get go, Kokabiel had admitted that his objective was to restart the Great War. To do that, he'd stolen the Excaliburs and was threatening Rias and Sona, the younger siblings of two of the ruling Satans. In all honesty he didn't need an army of Holy Sword Wielders to start a war. All he had to do was kill everyone in the city and both Heaven and Hell would be out for blood. Add in the centuries of hatred between the two sides and BAM, instant clusterfuck.
"Red Dragon Emperor." the Fallen called out imperiously, Issei's spine tensing as he realized the Fallen was looking right at him "Maximize the power of your Boosted Gear and transfer it to someone else. Anyone will do, just make sure not pick someone weak."
"Are you trying to give us a handicap?" Rias demanded, her temper flaring much like how it had when Riser had looked down on her peerage, though unlike last time Issei knew better than to preemptively attack the Fallen for the slight "Don't insult us!"
"Insult you?" Kokabiel repeated, his tone mocking as he sneered at the Gremory Heiress "I'm the one who should feel insulted. First Michael and now Sirzechs...honestly, just how many of you peons do I have to kill before you understand just how out of your league I am?"
Rias grit her teeth but said nothing, knowing all too well just how sunk they were if Kokabiel decided to go all out. While she was confident that her brother or any of the other Satans could handle him, the fact the situation even required someone on the level of a Super-Devil to be resolved simply put things into sharper perspective.
Kokabiel wasn't the big fish in the little pond. He was a Megalodon in a fishbowl. He was power personified and to make matters worse like all Angels, Fallen or otherwise, commanded the Holy element that was the antithesis to their Demonic Power.
The only one of them that stood the remotest chance of beating him at their current level was Rias herself, and even then she'd probably need to multiply her powers several times over through Issei's Boosted Gear before she even hoped to stand a chance if their last exchange was any indication.
"…Issei. Activate your Sacred Gear." She ordered, entwining her fingers with the Pawn's free hand, Issei nodding in understanding as he clenched his gauntleted fist, the emerald gem flashing with a cry of "BOOST!" as they approached the fallen at a sedate walk.
Seconds turned into minutes, the silence broken only by the sound of their footsteps and the cries of "BOOST!" from Issei's Sacred Gear, the rest of the gathered warriors unable to move a muscle, their eyes locked on the hovering form of Kokabiel, waiting for the slightest hint of an opening to launch a sneak attack, anything to give their comrades the slightest advantage.
Naturally, no opportunity presented itself. The Fallen merely hovered there, arms crossed impatiently, his expression growing increasingly more eager with declaration from the Red Emperor Dragon until, at last, it began to shine with emerald light, signifying it had reached Issei's current limit. "Finally!" Kokabiel leered, eyeing the amassed power below with an eager expression "Now then, who will you be transferring the power to?"
