56I was having a hard time writing the next chapter. So I though of whether I should just skip some part and move on after the treaty but I thought that will be too fast. So here it is an original arc that doesn't have anything to do with Canon. Read it and tell me what you think.
And last thing about imagine breaker. Imagine breaker in this fic cannot negate anything which had strong power. think of it like when Touma try to negate Dragon breath only to be push by it instead. So in other word it need time if it were to destroy a higher class being like Michael, Azazel or even Maou. If it were low class Devil like Issei is at the beginning he might die if he didn't get any boost by his sacred gear if he accidently touch the imagine breaker. If you have any question else don't afraid to ask. Though I may not able to answer all of it.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything beside the fic.
It was a peaceful morning. After Azazel gave me the lock for imagine breaker I can feel better once at school. Though I have to make some excuse why the heck am I wearing a glove at school not to mention it only at my right hand. Fortunately they accept my excuse as I continued my normal life as normal.
I'm not sure what the deal with this Kokabiel is but I can't just go to Souna and ask her about it. After all I still need to keep my secret in school. And so I began the school life as if nothing happen. But it all change when I ran an errand for Tadakatsu-san.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
"Sorry to spring this on you but I need you to get something for me at my old place."
Tadakatsu said while making an apologies sign.
"Sure, it the least I could do to repay your kindness when I first arrive at this world."
If it just an errand it wouldn't be a problem at all. not like he told me to go and fought someone.
"Great, than take this." He said as he hand me a piece of paper. When I unfolded it, it revealed to be some sort of map. "There is a something I want you to get, it was a spear that was at a cave near the shrine. You should find the cave if you follow the map."
I take a look at the map again. hm… if it like this I should be able to found the cave easily. But something bothered me.
"You said it was sealed, just what kind of spear is it? Is it anything like your Tonbo-giri?" if it was sealed it must be not a normal spear. If that the case I must be careful not to touch it with imagine breaker.
"It called Ame-no-nuboko also known as Heavenly spear. Be carefull not to touch it with your imagine breaker. As for the seal I'm sure your imagine breaker could break it without trouble."
I nod to state that I understood. Today is Sunday so there no school. So have plenty of time on myself.
"Then, I'm goi-" befeore I could finish my word.
"waittttt!" appearing out of nowhere is Gallete as her hand make a wait sign. "if you're going to go to the Mountain house I'm going to."
Upon hearing that Tadakatsu-san look at Gallete.
"Did you forget something there?" that must be the case. There no way she would follow me for the sake of accompanying me so she must have other reason.
"umm." Gallete nod before Tadakatsu-san could said anything she already finish wearing her shoes.
"Sigh… take care of her Touma." Tadakatsu said with a sigh.
"That mean father. You should tell me to take care of him instead." It seem she doesn't like the fact that I'm going to watch over her. Must be the rebellious state of teenager.
"well then, I'll be In your care Gallete-hime." I said while half bow to him.
"sh-shut up! Why should I have to take care of you!" Gallete said with a fluster face as she turned around and go outside without looking back once.
"we'll be back before night fall."
I wave my hand at Tadakatsu before chasing after Gallete.
XXXXXXXXXXX
"So, what is it that father want you to get at the place." Gallete ask.
"It something called Heavenly spear if I remember correctly."
Seeing that It was rare for her to start the conservation I decide to told her.
"ehhhh~! That spear? Are you sure?"
"Yeah, that what he told me to bring."
She seems to know something about the spear. Maybe I could ask her about it.
"That spear, Ame-no-nuboko, what kind of spear is it?" for some reason I have a feeling I heard of this name before but I can't seem to remember it. though with the fact that some sort of legendary spear exist I wouldn't be surprised if something like Longinus or Excalibur also exist in this world. though they can easily be destroyed with Imagine breaker. Would the people in this world be mad if I accidently destroy one of the legendary item?
"You don't know? Well then pay attention. I wont repeat it for a second time."
Gallete said with a pride in her tone.
"Ame-no-nuboko also known as Heavenly dragon is a spear that was use by the Deity Izanagi and Izanami to create the land of ancient japan. Though whether that was true or not I don't know. No one know their whereabouts in today era."
Izanagi and Izanami huh. It was some sort of popular Mythology in Japan so no wonder that I have a feeling I heard of the name before, but did she said that they exist? It seem beside the God from Bible the other God from other Mythology might also exist in this world. It one complicate world for sure.
"Hey, that power you use what it is? Is it a sacred gear or something else?" she said while she look at where my rihgt hand is. At least she knew that my power came from my right hand.
"It called Imagine breaker. It can negate any supernatural power like magic or something that didn't consider normal by the world."
That all I said. it not like I knew everything there is to it about imagine breaker. There still many mysteries surrounding this power of mine. Even now I'm still not sure about that presence when I fought with Fiamma. Not to mention the third presence which swallow the second power from me. it look like a dragon if you examine it clearly. could it be the Dragon from the dream I had before is the same Dragon? He said something about meeting again but when? I haven't had any dream like that for a while now.
"Here it is, just follow the path and we'll arrive at the house." Gallete suddenly said as she pointed to the path that goes inside the wood.
Both of us enter the forest as we start moving up. Id it just climbing a mountain I don't even break a sweat comparing to what I have gone through In my life.
"Wait here while I get my thing." Gallete said just as we arrive at the place.
She enters the house while I wait for her outside.
She sure takes her time… I wonder what she came here to get in the first place? On second though it better if I don't pry further into it. Considering my luck I will end up with pain if I peek inside right now. With that in though I decide to just wander outside the house.
Hm? there seem to be some sort of crack at the wall of the house. Without though I touch the crack and then.
"gah…" the wall collapse as I fall inside the house.
Urg… who would have thought that the wall will collapse by a mere touch. I try to shake my hed to clear the dust that had gather on top my head.
When I look up I was met with the sight with I'm too familiar with this past week. It was Gallete clad in her underwear while holding some sort of clothing on her hand.
"Y-you!" Gallete said as her body shake heavyly. I can see a flame sprouting out from her body already.
"Such misfortune…" was all I could said before a barrage of fire were send toward me.
XXXXXXXXXXX
"How long are you going to make that face?"
I can't help but ask Gallete who had been pouting the entire time. Look like it will take a while before her anger subsides.
"hmph…" she turn around not wanting to face me. even so I never expected her to come and get her clothes. It seem to be somesort of battle clothes with a silver breastplate with it.
"sigh… let just keep going." I said as I open up the map that Tadakatsu gave me. it would be easier if she just show me the place. With her state of mind I would not get anything out of her. It was a miracle that she still decides to tag along.
Now then, the map said just behind the house there should be some sort of animal trail.
When I check behind the house there really is an animal trail there. And so I walk through the trail leading to somewhere. Gallete had been following me behind without saying anything. it seem she would still follow me even though I chose a wrong path. Considering my luck that might just happen.
Let see here, next there should be some sort of shrine. When I reach there I should go left and then….
After an hour of waling I finally arrive at the cave the map mention. if Gallete had shown the way we would have reach the cave fifteen minute after we walk through the animal trail.
"It strange…" finally Gallete said after a whole hour of silence. It seem her anger had subisde already.
"What strange? I don't see anything strange?" surely this is the cave right? Did the cave had some sort of special characteristic that I should know of?
"that the strange part. There should be a barrier at the cave entrance to prevent other from entering it but the barrier had gone."
Now that she mentions it Tadakatsu had said that there will be some sort of seal on the cave. So the seal he mentions were a barrier. Now that the Barrier gone there is only one meaning.
"Someone had enter before us." I said what I was thinking. Since there is a Heavenly spear inside the cave that person target must be the spear. What to do… there's a high possibilities that the intruder had make off with the spear but I should at least check it to make sure. Who knows maybe the intruder target wasn't even the spear?
"Let check it out, but be careful. For all we know the intruder could still be inside." I said to Gallete as she nod at that.
Both of us enter the cave. The insides were dark but with Gallete fire we managed to walk around without trouble.
After what had been a 10 minute of walking we finally reach at the end of the cave.
It seems there no one there but there were some sort of altar. The room were brighten by a torch attached at the wall making Gallete diminished her fire.
"The spear gone…" I can tell even if she didn't tell me. There were nothing there that resemble a spear so the only possibilities is the spear had been stolen.
Suddenly we hear something. a sound of footstep. Could it be the intruder? If that the case why did they return after already get what they want? Did they forget something here?
Even Gallete seem to be on edge as she already prepares to summon her fire. I take off the glove that had been restricting imagine breaker while I wait for the owner of the step to appear.
Suddenly a figuer appear from the shadow. It was a teenager about my age. This person gave off an aura of non human with his silver hair color. He gave off the feeling similar to Azazel. Then this person here must be some sort of big shot in this world. though my imagine breaker will work wonder against him so at least I have that advantage if a fight were to occur.
"Nagi Ojii-san?"
Gallete suddenly spoke when she notice the figure. Could it be that Gallete knew the person?
"Gallete? And…." He trailed of when he look at me.
"Kamijou Touma, Gallete friend." I said to him.
"ahh… is that so, what are you doing he…." His word trailed of when he caught sight of the Altar.
"Ame-no-nuboko, it gone? tch… I was too late." It seems this person here had the same objective as us.
"Nagi Ojii-san, do you know who took the spear?" good job Gallete. From the way he talks he seem to know who the one responsible for stealing the spear.
"before that, why don't we seat over and exchange the story first."
After that the three of us gather at the middle of the place.
"I see, so Tadakatsu ask you to retreive the Heavenly spear. That guy, he could at least take the spear with him before moving." He seem to know Tadakatsu well so they must be old acquantice.
"and this boyfriend of yours…"
"He's not my boyfriend!" Gallete immedaitely said while her face flushed red. Probably from anger at being accosiaet as my girlfriend. It not like my luck is good so I don't even havea girlfriend till now.
"right… this person here were instructed by Tadakatsu to retrieve the spear… he must have trust you so much if he gave you a task like this."
I've been wondering. Gallete called him Nagi but who is he?
"hm… this may be to late but who are you?"
"ah…. Sorry for not introducing myself. I am Izanagi also known as Izanagi-no-Okami." The person introduce himself as Izanagi.
Eh? but isnt Izanagi….
"Ehhhhhhhh~ oi Gallete! You said no one know of his whereabouts till now." I'm pretty sure that what she said just now.
"That was a lie of course. Nagi ojii-san don't want people to know of his whereabouts so I don't see any reason to tell you about it." she said without feeling any sort of remorse.
Sigh…. So this person in front of me is a God or can be consider a Deities or some sort. Better be careful with my right hand ariund him.
"so, do you know anything about the spear disappearance?" we told our side of the stories so now is his time.
"hm… but before that I want both of you to help me to retrieve back the spear before I tell you divvolve further into this topic."
So in other word if he told us what happened, we have no choice but to help him to retrieve the spear back. sigh… it seem that Kokabiel had to wait.
Both of us nod at that.
"all right. It happens about a few week ago. I have been investigating about what the Izanami had been planning this day when I notice a suspicion movement of Susanoo."
It felt weird hearing him talk about another Deity as if it just another person. Then again this person also is one of those Deities. If I remember correctly Izanami was a former wife of Izanagi. I don't quite remember the story but accordint to mythology Izanagi travel to the land of Yomi also know as underworld(I wonder if it the same Underworld where Fallen angel and Devil live) to get back her dead wide Izanami. But when he sees her wife which had been corrupted by the Yomi he ran away from her. Since that day Izanami had swored to kill 1000 of his people each day but Izanagi said to her that he will bring 1500 life into the world each day. I wonder whether that story is true in this world or maybe there is slight change to it.
"After a few investigation I found out they were after the Ame-no-nuboko. At the same time I also found out that Tadakatsu had move out from this place leaving the place unguarded. Because of that I decide to get here as fast as possible but some Yomotsu tsukome have notice me as I was delay from gettinh here.. and that how I arrive here."
Now that we heard his side of the story, there one thing wandering me.
"How did we do to retreive the spear?" I ask him. our opponent can be consider a god after all so I hope he have some sort of plan.
"It simple. We invade the Yomotsu Hirasaka and get back the Spear." Sigh… I knew this wouldn't be easy.
"with just the three of us? It not like I'm underestimate Ojji-san power but isnt there other deities in that place? like Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu…" yep, were doom for sure. The fight with that Archangel was tough enough but now we have to fought with another godlike being?
"Don't worry, I already ask a friend of mine for help. He should arrive in a moment now."
And like he said I suddenly can feel another presence near here. when I turn around I saw a teenager. Like Izanagi he gave off the aura the same as him with his blue eye and hair shine in the darkness.. But the weird thing is this person here seem to wear some sort of Headphone while an Mp3 attach at his pocket.
"So, is this why you called me? Why don't you just get back together with her, that should settle the problem right?" the newcomer said as he came at us.
"you're kidding me, she kill me at the sight of me, there no way I could do that." Izanagi-san said as he make a 'no way' sign with his hand.
"Suit yourself, so who's them?" the newcomer said as he pointed at both of us. It seem even Gallete didn't know who this person is.
After a brief introduction it was time for this person to tell us who he is.
"my name Orpheus, I guess you can consider me a God of song in Greek mythology."
Another god here and not to mention it was a god from another mythology. Now that we have two god on our side would it be enough to storm this Yomotsu Hirasaka place?
"all right, it time to go." As he said that he summoned a portal the same kind that Azazel use to take me to underworld. Could this Yomi place is the same place?
Before I enter the place I quickly put on the glove to make sure that Imagine breaker wouldn't negate it.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Is this the Yomi place, it doesn't look much different from underworld."
I said when I took on the scenery here.
"oh… you've been here already. Like you said this place is a Underworld. The underworld right now is mostly populated by Fallen angel and devil but even so there still big enough for Izanami to create a country in here. Right now there is an implicit anti-war agreement so Deities like us can't make our move freely. But the fact that Izanami had make a movement signaling that something seem to had happen between the three great power."
Hearing Izanagi explanation just makes me more confused about this world work. The three great power should be refer to Angel, Fallen angel and Devil right. Azazel did mention about Khaos brigade whose aim is to caused chaos. So is this incident is related to Khaos brigade or maybe it just a coincidence?
"What to do now, we can't just storm the place like this. Did you have another place in mind Izanagi?"
Orpheus said though his face indicated that he was rather go backhome sleeping. Is this guy really a god of song?
"There should be a hideout that I built near here. We need to discuss some sort of plan after all."
It good that he still have in mind to create a plan. Like I thought just storming the place won't be enough even if there is two god on our side.
XXXXXXXXX
After arrive at the hideout that Izanagi had mention he immediately gather us at the living room as all of take a seat.
"all right, first we need to share our abilities before we could make some sort of plan. I'll go first. I specialize on using lightning power and I my sword skill Is not to be underestimate." Izanagi said. lightning skill huh… and did he say sword? I didn't see carrying any kind of sword.
"my turn next, as my title said I am a God of song so my abilities mostly involve of using a song. I'm specializing in fire element but my skill mostly focus on Illusion." Orpheus said.
"hm… I have a sacred gear called Immortal flame. So my main ability mostly of using the flame. And like it name suggest the flame is immortal meaning that it can't be put out by any normal mean." Gallete said.
"you're the owner of that Sacred gear? with Suzaku help this should be easier than I thought." Orpheus said as he seem to be intrigued by it.
"Um… sorry to say this but although I said immortal with my current abilities the flame can only last about 5 minute. Anymore than that would be impossible with my current abilities."
Heh… I didn't know that. it seem even though one posses a strong sacred gear there still need to train themselves before being able to use the power to the fullest.
"that too bad, you haven't master it yet, not that I can say anything since I don't know to much about the sacred gear that the God from Bible left behind. So, how about you then. What your abilities?"
Orpheus said before he turned his attention to me. now how should I said it.
"It name is Imagine breaker. With this I can negate anything that was consider supernatural by the world. and I'm sure the deities like you is not an exception though it might take time to negate a deities with a strong power." I told them what Azazel had explained me about Imaginer breaker.
"…."
"…."
"…."
"…."
They all look at me as if waiting for me to say "that was a joke." But unfortunately I'm serious.
"You're kidding, or Is it some sort a sacred gear which is one of the Longinus?" Orpheus said breaking the silent.
Longinus. If I remember correctly from my world Longinus is a spear that posses power to kill even god. In this world it seem to be some sort of sacred gear but from what it said there seem to be more than one Longinus in this world.
"Well, no use thinking but to test it out. Let me see your right hand."
Izanagi said but I hesitated for a moment.
"Are you sure?" I ask him just to make sure. I know which his power he can still survive even if I accidently touch him but even so the damage from just small touch maybe to powerful.
Seeing him nod I held out my right hand. As soon as he touch my imagine breaker he immedaitely break off from it.
"ouch… just from that touch I receive this much damage, it seem you're not joking that this power can kill even God."
Orpheus seem to be wary when he see what just happen to Izanagi.
"Now that prove it, we will rest for a few hours. I need some time before this damage fully heal. Were can't have an injured god if we want to increase our rate of success."
It seems because of me we have to push up our plan a little. But I think it fine. I need to make sure I'm fully rest before we go and face of agains the God.
"Follow this door and there should be a few empty rooms. You can rest there. I tell you when it time to start the operation." Izanagi said as he shows me the place where we can rest.
"I'm going to chose this room. Don't enter the room without my permission." Gallete said before she quickly closed the door of the room she just choose. As for me I pick up the room 2 door away from her. I don't want some sort of accident like what happen this morning to happen again.
When I enter the room surprisingly it was decent enough to live in. is this really okay, to create a place like this in enemy hideout? Not that I complain because the bed were comfy. As I lay down on the bed I start to feel my consciousness leaving me.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
When I open my eye I found myself in this strange place again.
"We meet again human." just like before in front of me was a giant Dragon. It look like that wasn't just a dream.
"Rei-san was it? are you the one who help me during the fight with Fiamma?" I decide to ask this question that had been on my mind since the though had enter my mind.
"yes, that was me. though you need to be carefull with your own power. Imagine breaker as you called it, it has the same feeling as my own power that how it I got inside you in the first place."
From the way this Dragon talk it as if he's not the one whose responsible for imagine breaker. If that the case then who is he?
"who are you really, from the way you said Imagine breaker and you doenst seem to have anything to do with each other?"
"to answer your question it will take some time but the simpler version is I, once one of the three Divine Dragon that exist in the Dimension you're in right now. a Divine Dragon called Great red rid out Ophis another Divine Dragon from Dimensional Gap. While I myself were not interested I got caught during the battle of the two as a result I got thrown away from this dimension to your dimension. Half of my power is gone but I don't mind it since this power would only cause trouble for the universe. Even so your imaginer breaker attracted me to it as I got absorb by it. That how I end up here."
Hearing his explanation there only part of it that I understood. There is three Divine Dragin and Azazel also had mention about this Great red exist in Dimensional Gap. This Ophis another Divine Dragon had a fight and as a result Great red win and Ophis had been kick out to this world. While Rei himself seem to had gotten caught in a crossfire between the two and as a result he arrive in the dimension I'm from. Aftet that he got absorb by Imagine breaker which is also inside me right now.
"one more thing, you said your power is the same as Imagine breaker does that mean that you can also negate supernatural stuff?" it was weird that a Dragon who consider superantural ceature have the power to negate supernatural.
"you seem to be underestimate the power of your imagine breaker. Ar full power it can easily wipe out the entire universe. But you don't have to worry about that. it power wont get stronger as long as I'm inside it. but I have to say no to your question, I said my power is similar but it was also different. You understand when you use It in Battle, it will materialized itself as Sacred gear which the God of bible had created."
When I heard about the Imagine breaker could even destroy the whole universe I start to feel worried there. But he said that his presence cause the Imagine breaker to not be able to get any stronger than It already is. I have to be thankful for that.
What did he meant by his power. is it that gloves that materialized during my fight with Gallete before? If that the case that is a Sacred gear meaning I also posses in myself the same kind of thing Gallete had. I want to ask him more but suddenly I can feel myself lost consciousness. It seem I was about to return back to realities.
"until next time human." The dragon said as I can feel myself regain consciousness.
Before I said anything for those who want to know how Izanagi and Orpheus look out I based them from the character of Persona 3 and 4. Izanagi is based on Seita Souji while Orpheus were based on Arisato Minato.
I was having problem writing this chapter so I finally decide to just do an Arc on my own. Although I said arc this will only last two or three chapter. After that we will move on to the event that happen in volume 4.
I have to say this story is purely fiction. It doesn't have anything to do with anyone whether dead or alive. About the myth I use in the story I make some change for it to mix in HsDxD world so it might be different with what it should be originally.
Since this is the first time I post a chapter four for this fic there wouldn't be a need for those who already have an account to post as a guest. Please review the story as it make me motivated on working on the next chapter faster.
