Angels, an absolute shield that protects their masters, the Spirits. Each of their forms, the shape and function all reflect upon the Spirits themselves. Angels can take many forms, from monsters to weapons, all of which seems to display some special powers. While angels are powerful, their counterparts the Demon kings are described as having a frightening presence not felt in their Angel counterparts and it surpassed their raw powers.
DEM Director's Office:
The office is bleak and cold, the light filtering blinds are making it hard for the sunlight to pierce through the windows. Inside the office, a tall man with dark ash blond hair and wearing a jet-black suit is sitting behind his desk. He is the founder of DEM, Isaac Westcott. Behind him, clones of girls are lined up wearing an outfit similar to the western nun's. Westcott called them Nibelcole, summoned from the Demon king that he robbed from the second spirit. Don't be fooled by their teenager personality, these girls are elusive and can rip someone chest open making them perfect assassins.
*Creak! *
The door suddenly opened, revealing a beautiful blonde young-looking woman with purple eyes wearing a black suit, and a blonde girl with blue eyes wearing a futuristic neon blue armor that resembled a medieval knight.
"What brings you here Ellen and Artemisia?" Westcott spoke with a calm voice. But behind those calm voice and expression is a psycho man who is gaining pleasure by seeing others suffer.
Calmy, not showing any emotions, Ellen said. "We've received reports from our AMRS (Advance Microscopic Robot Spy) that Ratatoskr created a machine that let you travel in parallel dimensions using the spirit powers, and it seems they've succeeded by doing so."
"Is there anything else?" Westcott asked.
This time, Artemisia is the one to speak. "Our spy even stated that they summoned a reptile like creature, but it got killed by a man that came from the same dimension that the creature has been summoned."
Westcott raised his eyebrows showing his interest. Suddenly, one of the girls behind Westcott approched him.
"Oh father~ we can get it for you. Just say the word and we will do all the dirty works." Nibelcole convincing her master.
And another Nibelcole steps in and spoke. "If we had that machine, we can use it to our advantage to kill that boy and that annoying time spirit that keeps protecting him?"
And a third one steps in. "You can also harvest whatever powers inside that portal."
Westcott hesitated at first before chuckling and saying. "Ellen, Artemisia? How about you take these ladies a ride?"
Both women already understood of what's behind Westcott order, and they just nodded in response and turn back to walk out to the door. The Nibelcole though, they just laughed playfully creepy before turning into papers and flew out of the room, following those two.
For Westcott, he now sat in the office with the company of his mind. "I already sensed two powerful beings arrived in this world. Not a spirit, but more than that. Their powers even surpassed the first spirit."
He smiled and licked his lips. "If I could gain those powers, who knows what I can do? I could defeat the first spirit and gain her powers too to become eternal."
"Watch me Elliot, watch me become reborn as a God." Westcott said under his breath.
Fraxinus:
An intense staring contest between Dante, Shido, and the girls are happening inside the ship. Dante, confused right now, trying his best to hide it while keeping alert of the portal that's behind these teenagers.
"So, I'm back in the human world again huh?... Are they the ones who created that portal?" Dante said to himself inside his mind. "Impressive, but playing God isn't the best course of action for young folks."
Without warning, four demonic insects broke out from the portal and tried to pierce their sharp mandible claws at Shido and the girls. Dante quickly reacted by getting his two handguns that is strapped behind his back. When he is about to shoot them, someone already managed to get his kills.
*Slash! *
Four of those insects freeze in mid-attack like time has frozen them in place. Suddenly, a man in a dark coat steps out of the portal and stand in front of the four insect demons. He has the same facial features like Dante, but his hair is swept back. His weapon of choice is a katana that can split man and devil called Yamato. Unlike his counterpart, he doesn't carry any fire arms or any long-range weapons, he sees it as an insult to his ability and swordmanship.
"You took your time?" Dante said.
"I've cleared out all the demons behind the portal." Vergil said and he looks around his area. He saw some teenagers, a lady, and the crews of the ship.
He then slowly put his sword back inside its sheet. When the guard of the sword touched the sheet with a click, four of the insectoid demons behind him got decapitated and flooded the metal floor with its dark red blood.
Shido, the girls, and the crews' eyes widened in shock. They tried to say something, but the lump on their throat is blocking the words and screams that they want to let out.
"These guys are different..." Shido's heart thumping so quickly, he feels like it's going to burst out from his chest.
"The human world is awfully a lot different after we've left?" Vergil points out.
"I guess they've put more efforts on their abilities without using Demon powers, unlike that stuttering bug scientist." Dante impressed by the technologies or better say the destroyed technologies around him.
"Who?" Vergil was about to say another word, but then a matured voice of a woman suddenly spoke.
"Excuse me, gentlemen?" Reine called them, grabbing the brothers' attention. "Would you please introduce yourselves to us?"
Both brothers hesitated at first, then Vergil look at his younger brother and spoke. "You do the talking."
Dante sighed and steps forward. "Well, since you asked so kindly, you can call me Dante and this guy here is my brother, Vergil."
"Now before you ask any more questions, I have one important question to ask you. Why did you build that thing over there?" Dante pointed his finger at the machine.
Kotori then steps in and answered. "It's one of ratatoskr's project. The organization wants to discover other dimensions to see if there are any other spirits out there."
Vergil then move forward. "I guess the creature lately and us are evidence of your creation. Now, we need to destroy your machine before it can do more damage or worse."
Vergil's statement got Kotori thinking. She sighed in defeat and spoke. "You're right, go ahead."
"But both of you will be stuck here?" Shido asked worriedly.
"Don't worry about us. You should worry about your world turning into ruins first." Dante replied with a light chuckle.
Vergil unsheathed his sword and before he could do something, a sound coming from the alarm rung.
"Captain, we got a call from DEM!" One of the crew said. Immediately, the others fixed their composure and paid attention at the main monitor of the ship.
Kotori quickly goes and sat on the captain's seat and she ordered the crews. "Answer it."
In the large screen of the ship, a woman with purple eyes with a blonde hair appeared.
"What do you want Ellen?!" Kotori eyes glared.
"Why the hostile tone captain? Is it bad to say hi? " Ellen said with a mocking tone.
Her tone suddenly turned serious. "You know what I want captain, that machine over there and your new companions."
"What if I said no?" Kotori challenged.
"Then you leave us no choice but to use force." Ellen replied with a glare.
After her statement, a dark red flash and multiple cold laughter filled the ship. As the flash faded, 10 to 20 girls with the same appearance had appeared.
"Nibelcoles?! " Shido eyes widened in shock.
"Sandalph-...?! "
He was about to summon Tohka's angel but one of the nibelcoles grab him and put him in a choke hold until...
*BANG! BANG! *
He gasped for air as the pseudo spirit that's strangling him disappeared in a puff of black smoke. He looks at Dante who is holding one gun over the other in a stylish way.
"Th-Thanks." Shido said, but the Demon hunter didn't reply.
Dante trying to process of what is going on around him. He is lost inside his thoughts. "Strange, these girls are not humans, they are a manifestation of demonic energy which means someone is already using Demon power in this world. This cannot be good."
Then he yelled out in demand. "Vergil! Destroy the machine now while I distract these things!"
Not wasting anymore time, Vergil dashed to the machine with a blink of an eye. His Yamato then got engulfed with a bright blue light before transforming into a dark metal gauntlets and boots overwhelming with Demonic energy. He then took a stance, cocked his right fist and charged up the gauntlet before...
*CRASH!!! *
Vergil got sent flying and denting the metal wall of Fraxinus after he hit his back. But unlike a normal person, he quickly recovered and shrugged off the attack like it was just some sort of an annoyance to him. He glared at the girl who assaulted him, and she glared back at him too.
"Stand down little girl, this doesn't concern you." Vergil demanded.
"Little? Why, I feel like I'm being underestimated?" The blonde girl wearing a neon blue armor replied.
Kotori rush to Vergil's side and exclaimed. "Artemisia?! How did you get in here and why are DEM going after the machine?!"
"Is classified. Give us the machine, and we can avoid painting your ship's floor with blood." Artemisia answered.
"Tsk!... Elohim Gibor!" Kotori's whole body got engulfed in flames.
Her uniform unbuttoned, revealing a red translucent flower petal like cover for her breast while the uniform's sleeve extended and change into like the sleeves of a kimono dress. Oni-like horns then sprouted on her head, and her dark ribbons that are tying around it had gained a gold flower patterns. The fiery aura then faded, and Kotori's appearance had changed. For Artemisia though, she looks disappointed and unimpressed.
"Facing me in that form is such an insult. I expect the real ifrit's wrath!" Artemisia had stated mockingly before charging at Kotori and Vergil with speed that's invisible for a human's eyes.
Vergil is about to go on the offences also, but the fiery spirit beat him to it.
"Burn Camael!" Kotori roared out as wall of fire shielded her and Vergil from Artemisia's attack, knocking the top-tier wizard back. After the wall of flames had calmed, the fiery spirit is wielding a giant flaming halberd that's capable of striking down any foe.
Vergil smirked at her for a short while before saying. "Do you think you can handle her?"
"Yeah, I can. Also, me and her have some unfinished business need to settle." Kotori growled.
Vergil then back out and join the others fighting the Nibelcoles. The other girls have already called out their angels and now wearing their semi spirit armor. The ship is filled with gun blasting, sword slashing, and some of the crews screaming. After one to five Nibelcoles the spirits and the brothers took down, the pseudo spirits just keep coming and coming more and more like a never ending wave of hornets. Suddenly, the alarm went off and MARIA's voice came to play.
"Warning, heavy pressure has been detected!"
"Damn it!" Kotori cursed under her breath before demanding.
"Kannazuki! Get everyone out of here except for me!"
"But captain I-" Kannazuki was cut off.
"I said now!" Kotori yelled out.
Artemisia then lashed out at the blonde male that's sprinting towards the commander's chair, but...
*CLANG!!!*
Kotori blocked the wizard's attack again, but this time using her halberd. In her relief, Kannazuki successfully pressed the teleportation in the chair and everyone, except herself, got engulfed with yellow aura before vanishing from sight. The last thing that Kotori heard was the voice of her brother screaming out her name.
"KOTORI!!!"
