Multiverse Conquest: Rise of the Saiyan Empire

Chapter 16: Broken Bonds

Back at the Gremory Mansion, all the girls couldn't possibly sleep worrying about their beloved Issei. A knock was heard on the door ending all their worries. Azazel walked out with a passed out Issei on his shoulders. Seeing the state of Issei they all ran towards him:

"What happened? What did he to him? I knew I should have followed them!"

Xenovia exclaimed:

"Issei-san! Issei-san!"

Only Akeno and Rias had troubled expressions:

"Ara Ara Didn't excpect to encounter this situation this early

-Azazel! You should know better! Issei is still young

-Well, Marek-san insisted that they shared a drink. And myself got caught in the flow, hehehe

Rias was fuming with fury with her beloved in her arms:

"What is wrong with this man! He did such, such a thing to my Ise!"

As they smelled the reek of sake, the rest understood what happened. Akeno was giggling as she took Ise away from him:

"Ara, taking care of a drunk man is a wife duty, you should let me do it"

And just like that they started fighting with Ise in the middle. Azazel started sneaking out; but today was definitely not his day:

"AZAZEL"

Rias turned to him with fire in her eyes:

"What happened? Tell me in the details"

As he sighed he proceeded to tell her about Issei's night omitting any secret information about Ise's complex or Marek's past or his new servants.

"So much girls! I will make him pay! That MAREK VEGA!"

All the girls thought it was too much! To let Ise indulge in such behavior! Azazel answered:

"You should reign your emotions better. This person genuinely took a liking to Ise. And trust mewith the character of the Guy, it's not easy. So keep your complains to yourself when he comes training with you.

"What?!! Training?! Why would he even need to train for?"

"It's not actually for him. Keep yourself prepared, there is definitely going to be surprises from now on."

He then walked out.

Kuou Academy.

This day as Azazel expected was a special one. Ise entered his classroom with a hell of headache. He still shivered thinking about Buchoo's scolding. With him were all the girls his age. Irina, Asia, Xenovia. Their beauty was captivating as they accompanied their man in an other exciting day of class. Kiba followed after them attracting the attention of all the girls as per usual. Apart from a transfer student in the first years named Ravel Phoenix, all in all, it was a normal day. The Occult research club had their minds busy with two things the School Festival project and the Rating Game against Sairaorg Bael.

They had the usual banter they had before class. They were all pretty excited about the School Festival. They were discussing it's details. Ise still had the sad gaze of Buchoo in his mind. The class was about to begin, when Asia asked the question first:

"Ise-san, where is Matsuda-san and Motohama-san?

-Huh? They are usually pretty early.

Xenovia who was pretty straightforward:

-Do you think they are still making babies with those strippers?

-WHAT? How could they DO THAT TO ME!!

Ise was practically wailing as he imagined their smug face!

-Ise-san actually you don't need to be sad. If you wantI am ready

She completely blushed with shame at her last sentence. Xenovia snickered:

"Asia-chan is getting bolder. Maybe I too should be more on the offensive"

As they were about to continue, they heard a commotion in front of their door. Girls cries were all over the place!! Even more than when Kiba was there! Girls fainting! Boys screaming their hatred! And in the middle of that they saw Kiryuu running to them with a horrified face yet bloodied nose:

"Asia! Issei-kun! Something INCREDIBLE happened!"

Every member of the Peerage felt that something was wrong, they were still waiting for Kiryuu to elaborate but before that happened.

THE SURPRISE WALKED IN THE CLASS!!

"Kya! He looked at me

How could that handsome senpai look at you!!"

Two men wearing the high school uniforms were side by side. The school uniforms grew a little tight for the both them, showing their wide torse, thick arms. One of them had his back bent backward in a laid back manner, a dark cap on his head, but that could not conceal the long thread of hair descending on his forehead. The look on his face was mean, almost scary, yet it gave a somehow approachable aura, like that of an actual High school boy. His vest gently posing on his shoulders moves as he moves, his student bag carelessly thrown behind his back. The new Saiyan genes mixed with his Asian face giving him a 'half' kind of charm. Indeed with his Saiyan build and high school identity and handsome face, our good old Motohama looked like a 'Bad boy' straight up from a Shoujo manga!

"He looks a little 'bad' tho, isn't it?

-I can't wait to make him good, if you know what I mean, ara

-You are so baad"

The other half of the girls were there for the more 'handsome' second senpai. He had an uptight posture, his lean and tall body was in full view, like an athlete's! The sides of his spiked-up hair was lightly descending on his forehead giving him a 'bishounen' vibe. His once creepy mannerism of pushing his googles against his face, had a whole other meaning, a devilish, scheming one. He looked like a handsome devil, that broke the heart of thousands of women!

"This senpai looks 'too dangerous'! Kya!!

-Sounds good! I was getting tired of Kiba-kun's Prince charming vibe!"

Meanwhile, unbeknown to all they were extremely uncomfortable:

"Why are they all here? What are they talking about? Motohama! Do we look that weird!? I knew I should have shaved my hair!

-Calm down. They will have to go back to class anyway. Don't worry about them! Anyway! If we follow his majesty, we will be Harem Kings!!

-Yes!! Indeed! No one cares about these girls as long we have his majesty!"

Ise had his eyes wide with surprise:

"Whoare those people!!"

Kiba stood up a serious look on his face.

'They are different. Like whole new beings'

Xenovia had also a serious face, Irene had a solemn face.

The two boys looked like unchained beasts unleashed on the world. They advanced in the tensed silent, without sparring a look to anyone. Suddenly, they realized that everyone become less important in their eyes. The vicious Saiyan pride in their genes was already acting up. They were about to reach their place under the baffled the gaze of all the students when Ise stopped their way:

"Matsuda, Motohama! What happened to you, guys?!"

Matsuda responded dismissively:

"You don't need to know."

Ise was baffled by the coldness of his tone:

"What do you mean? Aren't we friends?!"

Motohama was immediately triggered by his words as anger could be seen on top of his already vicious eyes:

"We 'were' friends, indeed. But did you tell us what happened to you, then? Huh? Sekiryutei!!"

The moment they heard these words, they understood, these people were no longer the goofy friends they had. They were in their realm now!!

All their faces but Ise's, changed in the same manner. Battle intent, cold stares, readiness for battle all could be seen on this normal high school girls. Motohama only laughed lightly:

"IndeedheheheSo that's the Gremory's Peerage's real faceGood, good. Seasoned warriors acting like high school girls, definitely to my taste. You've got a good thing going Ise."

Kiryuu heard everything going on as she herself had her doubts cleared. Matsuda who have been silent, pushed his cap on his face saying:

"That must have been good, Ise. Chasing the dream we shared, alone. "

Ise looked down.

"We must have looked like clowns to you."

Asia who saw how grieved her Ise was:

"Motohama-san, Matsuda-san, Ise-san only did that to pro-

-It would be best if you didn't intervene in this, Asia-chan. Best for all of you"

Motohama immediately stopped her.

"We were miserable as humans. We were scorn and hated, like you were. Because of who we were, we didn't fit in this world to begin with. We found reality boring, we loved to dream, to fantasize together. Luckily, for you, you had that Dragon inside of you."

Matsuda continued:

"You made other friends, rivals, lovers. And you treated us like some kind of reminders of what you could have been. Some hero you are."

Ise looked up:

"NoII"

By the time, he wanted to continue, they've already walked past him. Motohama left his last words:

"Let's get along well as classmates, Hyoudo-san, Argento-san, Quarta-san, Shidou-san"

Xenovia and Irina looked bitterly at their dear Ise sad face. Asia had been weeping for a while, looking at the back of the two men. They both sat down, the silence following them. The classroom teacher finally entered:

"There was supposed to be a new transfer student, today, but

Motohama spoke:

"His majesty won't be coming today."

All the peerage nodded at the same time:

'Indeed, it's this man's deed.'

Kiba disliked Marek since the very first time he saw him. Prideful, arrogant, disdainful of othersHe was the kind of man who would kill for a 'yes' or a 'no'. Like those who directed the Holy Sword Project.

'Ise-kun is so shaken. He values friendship beyond anything else, after all'

School time passed and Ise's episode with Ravel also unfolded. But Rias noticed the depressed mood of her servant, all the girls actually. The day unfolded as the two Saiyans were returning to their new acquired mansion. They were stopped by all the Girls of Issei's Harem. Rias and Akeno were at the lead, and their gaze scanned those new beings. They couldn't possibly fathom their actual strength but they could understand that those two have changed. They have known them as Issei goofy friends. They had the same lust and awe that everyone showed in the school when meeting them. But now, it was different. The lustful gaze was still here, but the awe is transformed into haughtiness. It is as if they were looking at a cute little lamb and they were the BIG BAD WOLVES. Motohama spoke first:

"Princess Gremory, to what I owe the honor?"

He looked more devilish than the devils present here.

Rias sighed:

"I want you to know that I was the one who ordered Ise to not talk to humans about us being devils."

Motohama looked at her with disbelief and derision like he was looking at a buffoon:

"And you thought we didn't know that?"

Rias narrowed her gaze :

"Then why are you being this harsh on him?"

Motohama put his glasses on his face as he started laughing in a very low voice. Giving the creeps to all the girl present. Matsuda only kept his cap down, as he leaned up. This situation started to stretch out until Akeno spoke:

"Are you only going to laugh like that?"

The one who answered was Matsuda under his stylish cap with a laid back manner:

"That's a very stupid question Akeno-senpai"

When they heard the answer said in such manner, they almost had the urge tear their head apart. The hot headed Xenovia was ready to pounce. Kiba sighed deeply.

"But since we are on the topic of stupid questions, let's ask you an obvious one. Did Ise never disobey your orders?"

All the irritation from earlier disappeared like a breeze. Rias looked down; Akeno avoided eye contact.

"The Gremory Princess actually coming here and pinning the blame on herself only makes it worst, Akeno-senpai. Since that only means we were not important enough for Ise to disobey her. HeheheActually its even worst than that."

"It means the Gremory Princess, think that her simple order is sufficient of a reason for Ise to two time us."

Asia looked at them with disbelief! Xenovia clenched her fist, not knowing how to salvage the situation. Kiba has conflicted look on his face:

'Maybe, Buchoo made a mistake this time'

"Since we got this new bodies, we've been having a hard time controlling ourselves. We've been prone to anger, hate and bloodlust. Motohoma laughing like that is actually the only way he found to not do something he will regret."

They got cold sweat as they finally understood what this laughter means:

'This is pure rage!'

Rias had a determined look on her face as she looked at them:

"Even so, even if you are angry, be angry at me. Ise loves this town, he loves this school more than anyone!"

Asia started crying:

"He is been fighting over and over. He nearly died so many times, I have healed over and over again"

Akeno also added:

"You may not know it but he's been protecting us all!"

Kiba added:

"Ise-san is the person I admire the most. He always fights with courage and kindness"

Matsuda spoke again:

"Indeed, we don't know a lot about you nor Ise, but you also don't know a thing about us, do you?"

"Motohama and I were both in the same middle school. Motohama was brilliant, in all academics, he got even a grant from Elite High schools abroad. I was in the athletic club, I was also a part of a gang. I also got my opportunities in both fields. Yet we both chose this school, do you know why?"

Motohama answered after a long silence:

"Because being accomplished in neither those fields were important to us. We only wanted to live our youth like we wanted. We wanted to be perverts, we wanted to be ourselves and we wanted to dream of a Harem like life. Even if women started hating it, even if people started calling us the three perverts. It was okay, it was the life we chose the live because we didn't find any better. Ise knew that better than anyone."

Matsuda:

"Him being a Hero is great, him wanting to protect us is also good. But there is a thing when a man never compromises. It's their dreams. We shared one. He chose to pursue it alone. We will do the same. Take good care of him, Gremory Princess."

Rias could already picture the saddened of her beloved hearing these words, she clenched her fists in frustration. The rest all had depressed faces. As they heard their steps disappearing in the wind. Then a ring like tone as Matsuda checked his phone, Matsuda checked it and slightly laughed, he then turned around:

"Gremory Princess, I just received a message from his Majesty."

All the members of the Peerage immediately froze. It took even Rias some minutes to come to her senses and respond:

"Do say."

"Even if the Red Dragon is depressed, heed the request of the Butler. She will wake up after a few days"

Rias immediately shaken. She had just received the request of the Bael Butler an hour ago! Even Azazel didn't know! How the hell did he know?!

More than that. He says that it will work on sleeping Illness! Such a Thing is a Miracle on itself!

Rias bowed slightly:

"I thank his Majesty for this information. Deliver my sincerest gratitude"

All the peerage didn't understand what happened.

Seeing the shocked face on the Rias-senpai they looked up too, the both of them snickered:

'His majesty is indeed ultimate; he bestows his grace and take it like a deity!'
