Flames of the Sanctum

A man clad in black clothes was currently knelt down on the roof of a school called Kuoh academy as he watched a man with 10 black wings fighting 7 teenagers, one of which was wielding the mighty holy sword Durandal. 6 of those teenagers were devils with the final teenager, the wielder of Durandal being a human girl and their 10-winged opponent being was Kokabiel, a cadre of the Fallen Angels. Just off from these 8 beings waging war on each other, there was two humans lying down on the ground next to a sword that was shattered to numerous pieces. One of those men was simply unconscious where the other was dead with a gaping hole straight through his torso.

Those two humans were comrades to Kokabiel and he personally killed the man lying with the hole in his chest, the only thought towards that man would be that he was granted a quick death. This whole little battle didn't bother the man in black as he knew that all would be good in the end because he'd interfere when he needed to as his job was to take Kokabiel into custody. He had one slight worry during this whole battle, one of the devils he knew all to well but hadn't actually spoken to for a long while. The Queen in the devil's peerage, a young lady who is called Himejima Akeno and she was a Half Fallen, Half Human just like the man in black and their parents were rather similar although the man in black didn't hate his father.

The man in black decided to interfere when Kokabiel summoned a light spear that was more than quadruple his size in both height and width. The man in black jumped off the roof in a similar style to that of Italian assassins, flipping his body over in mid-flight but instead of having his torso face the sky his body continued to flip and went feet first. A black flash came from the man and Kokabiel's spear completely disappeared allowing a free pass for the man's boots which planted themselves straight into Kokabiel's skull sending them both down towards the floor. As they descended Kokabiel tried to grab a hold of the man but he pirouetted and kicked into Kokabiel's head and hard sending their bodies away from each other. The man in black landed a few metres ahead of the beaten and tired teenagers while Kokabiel skidded to a halt in front of Kuoh Academy while letting out a roar of disgust.

"He sent his kid after me?! How condescending can that bastard be?! First he wants peace and now he sends his son to stop me, he's having a laugh."

The man in question relaxes himself from the skidding stance and stands up straight allowing his clothes and features to show in the crisp and surprisingly luminous moonlight. The man was tall hitting nearly 6 foot 2, his hair was black and rested just above his shoulders with his fringe being a gold colour that spiked downwards framing his closed eyes. He wore a gold coloured t-shirt under a black leather jacket with an open belt around the waist and the collar, his jeans were also black in colour tucked into his black boots neatly. This man then opened his eyes revealing his hawk-like violet eyes to the world, contrasting well with his dark skin that showed he was of Egyptian descent.

"Kokabiel, you should know why he sent me. After all, there is only two free cadres left after you allowed yourself to wander around stealing from the church."

The man's voice was surprisingly deep for his looks to which were of an 18 year old boy and that was his actual age. While his voice was somewhat coarse, it was pleasing to a woman's ears.

Slowly walking forwards with his ten-wings completely unfurled, Kokabiel wore a face of anger and disgust. His plans were just going from bad to worse and he knew that he wouldn't escape unharmed, probably wouldn't escape at all if the devils helped out this man in black and gold.

"I sure do know why you are here. You are here for Barakiel's scum of a daughter, he wouldn't even come here himself from fear of inciting his only family's wrath!"

"Akeno is not scum Kokabiel. You yourself are scum, actually you are even lower than that. You abandon us so that you can start a war just because you are bored, you have no conscious of people around you at all. You are despicable and despite my father's wishes, if you badmouth Akeno once more you won't be returning to him with a body."

The man in black narrowed his hawk-like violet eyes but held a stoic expression that doesn't show the extent of his anger towards Kokabiel for what he said of the girl called Akeno.

"How about I incite your wrath this way? I was the one who caused the event to happen and I also held Barakiel back so he couldn't arrive in time."

That caused the man's mind to race and completely flip his switch, he was pissed and he was allowing the world to know it. Two aura's flooded out of the man, one dragonic and the other angelic but seemed tainted. They were menacing and ready to put their full wrath down on Kokabiel but it wasn't him alone, the two auras were assaulting everything. The devils and human girl behind him and the flickering purple barrier that was currently protecting the school grounds.

The man materialized a simple M9 pistol in his hand and squeezed the trigger once at Kokabiel who simply laughed and raised his left hand to take the bullet but the bullet being a weapon was never the case in the man's mind. When the bullet was within mere inches of Kokabiel, magic spiked and the black clad man instantaneously appeared in front of Kokabiel with his left fist rocketing straight towards Kokabiel's face and planted itself there igniting itself in black flames passing them over quickly before Kokabiel's body was furiously launched into the school building. The man clad in black pointed the M9 behind him and shot again, this time appearing directly in front of the girl called Himejima Akeno and the only pure-blood, the King of that peerage and heiress to a pillar clan, Rias Gremory.

The man looked over the two girl's with a keen, observing eye before showing a relieved smile.

"I'm glad you are okay Akeno-chan. Gremory, stay back and heal yourselves. I advise you to escape now but I doubt you'd listen, I will answer all questions after I kill Kokabiel."

The man turned his body to leave towards Kokabiel but the girl called Akeno reached out to him and caught a hold of his jacket sleeve with a tight grip causing him to look back at her.

"...G-Gaius?"

He looked at her with a smile and slowly undid her grip on his sleeve and nodded, confirming to her that his name was Gaius. He turned again and switched the M9 for two swords, one with a blade that was shaped after flames and the other that was shaped after crashing waves. The two swords were both bastard swords in size and wore fitting jewels around their hilts, red rubies in the flame sword and blue sapphires in the tidal sword.

Gaius slowly picked up at the pace as he headed towards Kokabiel and hit a sprint which was invisibly fast and collided with another pair of swords that Kokabiel was now wielding although they weren't as fancy as Gaius'. They were just two swords of light made by Kokabiel. Kokabiel wasn't planning on just using the swords in a sword fight, he wasn't a fair guy and liked to play dirty. A win is a win in his book, no matter how it was achieved. His ten wings raised up slightly and sharpened into spear-like points and shot down towards Gaius who simply shook his head and released his own wings. 12 wings emerged from his back and beat off Kokabiel's wings leaving two lone ones to do what Kokabiel had planned to and lodged themselves into Kokabiel's body, one for each arm. Instead of stabbing and retracting, Gaius sliced with his wings erratically slicing through half of his arms causing him to writhe in pain. Kokabiel bit his lip to try and stop a pained grunt from being released and pierced them causing blood to flow out.

Gaius smiled sadistically when he caught the sight of fresh blood and brought back his swords as he dashed backwards several meters. He released his grip on his swords and quickly gripped back causing them to shift forms and become two modified M1911 pistols, the left being a fiery red and the other being a royal blue. Gaius held them side on and pressed both triggers once releasing the two bullets that were being followed by a searing flame and a torrent of water. Kicking his feet into the ground, he vaulted up into the air and squeezed the trigger's again every time he hit another ten degrees before completing the one eighty dropping down behind Kokabiel then flapping his right 6 wings and shooting off to his left narrowly dodging a light spear.

All 12 wings then shot back straight into his back as Gaius started to shoot erratically towards Kokabiel without even needing to reload the two pistols. Leaving Kokabiel no time to do anything but defend from the onslaught of bullets, Gaius dug his heels into the floor once again but this time it cracked from the pressure that was now being exerted. The whole area was coming under strain from it as a powerful presence was making itself known causing the murky purple barrier around the school to crack leaving the devils who were meant to be holding it up is disarray and looking for answers. Gaius' back was now being occupied by a sinister, miniature dragon made out of shadows, it's body clung to his back with it's claws somehow harmlessly digging into his shoulders and sides. It's two large dragon wings floating out behind them with two heads raised up into the air just above Gaius'. These two dragon heads had beady, blood red eyes that looked happy.

Gaius continued to fire the pistols almost like he was ignoring the dragon but that wasn't the case, he was concentrating. Instant auto-reloading was a hard job and good focus was needed.

[Hoho, you called me out for Kokabiel. That's fine by me, this Vritra will show Ddraig the difference in power now.]

The dragon called Vritra called out into the night sky. Vritra was killed by the Indian God Indra and chopped into pieces, all of which were stored in Sacred Gears making their own section between the 13 Longinus and standard Sacred Gears. They were known simply as the Vritra Gears and Gaius held four of them, four known ones anyway. They were Absorption Line, Blaze Black Flare, Delete Field and Shadow Prison. Vritra was one of 5 Dragon Kings, although he was the weakest he held his ground through using techniques rather than the typical strength that are well known to dragon's. Vritra even went as far to have black flames instead of the standard orange ones, they found themselves being put into the Blaze Black Flare.

"Vritra, it's hook, line and sinker."

[Yo ho Gaius, let's burn him alive.]

Both males raised their left fist's slightly before committing to their tasks. From the two dragon heads came blue tongues that stretched towards Kokabiel following after the continuous stream of bullets and wrapped themselves around Kokabiel's arms and started to suck away his power as black shadows appeared around his arms from the tongue connection and began to spread. Gaius then dropped his guns allowing them to disappear and then stretched out his fingers completely opening up his hands and enveloping in black flames that didn't stray far.
