Chapter 1: Introduction

Underworld:
Clashing of iron and steel echoing through the gloomy other worldly dark land known as the underworld, as two brothers endlessly sparred with each other as the way of showing their bond and strength. All their battles in the past - - the elder brother, Vergil, have always been the dominant one until the younger one, Dante, earned power to defeat him. However, in the present, both of them have earned the powers that they deserve making them an equal to each other - - thus their battles always ending in a draw.
"I feel like this will never end!" The white-haired man in a red coat sat in the ground panting.
"Maybe! But we have plenty of time!" The white-haired man in a dark coat kneeling on the ground while panting replied.
Both brothers, not wasting even a single minute, stood up and ready their swords before charging at each other with movement and speed that's impossible to be seen by a human's eyes.
Tengu City:
Spirits, beautiful young girls but powerful and deadly beings that can wreak havoc around the universe, causing spatial quakes that can kill millions of people on earth. The very first spatial quake ever recorded was 30 years ago and it's the most deadliest space quake ever recorded, killing millions of people around Eurasia. It is also the first appearance of the first known spirit, nicknamed the spirit of origin. However, after 30 years, there's been multiple records of spatial quakes around the globe. DEM and Ratatoskr swiftly responded by evacuating people, and sending their military at the locations it had occured, but both organizations have different means and goals, by killing the spirits and use their powers for their own selfish way; while the other one wanted to save them to co-exist with humanity and be part of society.
There have been eleven spirits that had appeared in this world, and one boy had already saved ten of them. However, there's only one spirit that he needs to save. The worst spirit, who wanted to seek vengeance against the first, Kurumi Tokisaki.
In the peaceful city of Tengu, a boy with blue hair and brown eyes is seen sitting on a bench with paper bags filled with kinako breads besides him in Tengu park. He seems to be looking for someone as his head turns left and right at the park's walkway. Within a few minutes of waiting, he heard four joyful voices chatting with each other and getting closer to his location. And in the distance, four girls came to view.
The talkative one has purple hair, her name is Tohka; the second one is a little girl with blue hair with a bunny puppet o
n her left hand, she's Yoshino; the third one has green hair and the same size as Yoshino, she's Natsumi; and the fourth one has red hair styled into a twin tail with black ribbons tying it, his sister, Kotori. Originally, there were 10 of them, but the others were too busy with their own life and activities.
"Shido, are we late?" Tohka runs up to him with glee and the others followed behind her.
"You're right on time. Actually, I just arrived here just a few minutes ago." Shido said.
"Before we go to the cinema, how about we have a little snack first?" He then showed the bags full of kinako breads sitting on the bench, making Tohka's eyes glimmered and mouth watered.
With no hesitation, Tohka and the others dug in and munched happily at the soft texture of the bread, as their taste buds got filled with that sweet nutty flavor that's making everyone come back for more. Then out of nowhere, all of them heard a loud ringing sound coming from one of Kotori's pockets.
Kotori immediately took out her pink smart phone and answered the call. "Reine?"
Shido, curious of the call from Ratatoskr, took a step forward closer to his sister and tried to listen to the conversation. He then noticed Kotori's face suddenly turns from joyful to serious, making him think another spirit had appeared or been detected.
"Okay, pick us up and the others." Kotori ordered before ending the call. Then, a bright yellow aura engulfed all five of them before vanishing from sight and leaving all the kinako breads scattered all over the dirt.
Ratatoskr, Fraxinus:
An airship bigger than the world biggest plane, named Fraxinus, was hovering 15 km over Tengu City. It's one of the five ships of Ratatoskr. Having a defensive and offensive capabilities, this ship can also withstand massive damage from another high-tech enemy airships and some spirit powers, making this ship very durable.
Inside the ship are the crews sitting and working in front of their respective computers. There is also an AI named MARIA, she's the one who controls almost all of Fraxinus's systems and she's the one in command if Kotori and Kannazuki isn't available. Everyone is silently working, all they could hear are the buzzing of some of the larger computers and other machines, and the typing of keyboards.
"The commander with Shido and the girls are arriving!" One of the crew declared, breaking the silent.
A bright yellow flash appeared in the middle of the commander's deck. After the aura had faded, Kotori with Shido and all the spirits (except for Kurumi) arrived in Fraxinus.
"Is the machine ready?" Kotori steps out of the teleportation machine and her clothes glow a fiery red. The aura around her dispersed and her dress change into a white uniform with a red commander jacket draping over her shoulder, a red skirt with black streak, a dark stocking, and leather shoes.
A matured lady wearing a lab coat steps in. Her appearance though, she looks like she hadn't slept for years and she looks like she's about to faint. She's one of the trusted crew in Fraxinus and her name is Reine Murasame.
"The machine is ready, the only thing missing now is Shin for activation." Reine said with a tired voice.
"Why me?" Shido raised his eyebrows.
"In order for the machine to power up to its full capacity, we need the spirit powers that's sealed inside you." Reine explained. She walks up to the machine and removes the cover, revealing a device with a robotic gateway.
Shido keeps eyeing the machine, inspecting and observing every parts of it. Both amazed and intimidated at the same time, he noticed a robotic chair with a helmet on top of it, and it had ten fat cables connecting it to the machine. Having the same appearance of an electric chair, Shido and some of the girls with the knowledge of the torture device shivered at the thought they have.
"Uhhh, are you sure this is safe?" Shido looks at Reine and his sister with a shaky frown while one sweat rolled down from his forehead.
"I can't guarantee that you'll be a hundred percent safe, but I'm sure you'll do just fine especially when you have Camael's regeneration." Reine's uncomforting statement just made Shido gulp.
The rest of the girls, except for Kotori, shared a worry look at each other. Having no idea what will be the outcome of this test for their dear Shido.
"Shido, are you ready?" Kotori suddenly talk, not taking off her seriousness of her face.
Slowly inhaling deeply and exhaling his hot breath, Shido replied. "Alright, let's do this!"
He sat on the chair of the machine, took the helmet and wore it, making the girls and the crews of the ship as his last glimmer of his vision before everything went a little black and robotic. The helmet is bigger than his head and its covering his ears, thus he can only hear the muffled voice of Kotori, Reine, and the spirits chatting. When he rests his arms on the arm rest, he felt a tight grip on his hands as he was bound shackled causing his adrenaline to shoot up.
"Are you very very very sure Shido will be okay?" Tohka worried.
"I'm sure of it. Besides, this machine isn't designed to kill someone." Kotori assured her.
Kotori turns to face her crew and ordered them with authority. "Alright team, fire up the machine!"
The crew scrambles through their computer, and the machine made a whining sound as faint yellow aura starts to form at the middle of the gateway and it keeps growing stronger in each second. The whining sound grew louder until it was the sound of like those of a fighter jet's engine. As the yellow aura begins to zap electricity all around the room, the whole ship begins to shake, and a warning alarm cried out with MARIA announcing the heavy pressure that's building up inside of Fraxinus. Thinking quickly, Tohka immediately put up her purple barrier and Miku used her angel, Gabriel, to reinforce the barrier to give the people who are present in the danger zone a maximum protection.
"Mister is still outside, Muku needs to save him!" Mukuro panicked.
When she's about to summoned her angel, Kotori immediately grabs her right hand, making Mukuro look at her with a piercing glare.
"Stop, if you do that it'll do more harm than good!" Kotori intervenes.
Meanwhile, outside the barrier, some of the computers and large monitor screens are destroyed and some of them turned static. It's like there's a powerful storm occurring inside the ship. With Shido though, he is roaring in pain while his legs are kicking wildly. He wants to take off the helmet, but couldn't, because his hands are shackled against the arm rest of the chair. He could've got inflicted with life threatening injuries around his body, but the purple flames of Camael's regenerative ability are preventing that to happen.
A few minutes of torturous experience, the whining sound and the destructive storm inside the ship had instantly stop.
"Pressure in the ship has stabilized." MARIA declared.
Tohka deactivated her barrier, and everyone gasped from the ruined sight that filled their eyes. The girls quickly came to Shido's aid and took off the helmet from his head, revealing an exhausted and unconscious Shido.
"Shido?" Tohka called with a shaky voice and her eyes stared at shock at the emotionless boy.
Despite her fear and worry, Shido slowly opened his eyes and groaned tiredly.
"D-Did it work?" Shido weakly asked. He was startled, but smiled warmly after the girls gave him a tight group hug.
"You did it again brother." Kotori smiled in amusement. She then felt someone puts a hand over her right shoulder.
"Kotori, do you have a moment?" Reine asked.
Both her and Kotori went towards the machine, and they glanced with awe at the portal it made. Inside the gateway, they saw two people fighting some weird horrific creatures. It made it felt like you are watching an action movie in the television, but the only thing is, you can step inside and be part of the action.
All of the sudden...
"AAAAHHHH!!!"
The girls and the crew shrieked, whilst they ducked down their heads when a humanoid red reptile like creature got sent flying from the portal and crashed through one of the computers. It slowly got up and look at the people one by one with its pale eyes. The creature growl, sending chills to everyone's spine. The creature then took a battle stance, and a sharp red blade capable of slicing a human in half suddenly sprung up over its clawed hand.
Before it could do something else, something or someone suddenly came rushing out from the portal with unimaginable speed. The man in red then pierced his blade straight through the creature's heart, and lift the humanoid being with ease before brutally hurling it towards one of the large monitors in the ship like a ragdoll.
Shido, the girls, and the crew are horrified and they're trying to process of what they just witnessed before them. They can't do anything else but stare at this man with his large dark broad demonic blade resting at his shoulder. The man in red then slowly turns around to face them, and he look at them one by one making them shook inside their shoes.
