" Tell me, Azazel. What are the chances of another War occuring?"

" Hah. As expected, that's the only thing that comes to your mind." smirked the Fallen. They were on their way to attend the Factions' Summit, representing the Fallen Angels.

" Why do I even have to attend this boring conference?"

" It's just for formalities sake. Besides, the other dragons would be there."

" Hm. That lessens the boredom then." Vali replied in nonchalance.

" I hate this. I hate this era in which I was born. There's nothing interesting left to do here. God is dead and the possibility of War is zero to none." He clenched his fists.

The White emperor suddenly felt a presence gazing at him. He stopped in his tracks and noticed a black haired girl sitting on a tree.

"Ophis." Vali narrowed his eyes.

" Oh how boring. There's nothing left for me to do here." She smirked. " That is what you, the White emperor, usually say. Am I right?"

" What are you doing here? "

" Don't mind me. I'm just casually strolling around town." She hopped of the tree and waved goodbye.

" Tsk. Such a carefree attitude. I'll defeat you somehow."

----- Kuoh Academy ------

" You two stay here, okay? After we are done with the Conference, we'll get back at you."

"Hai, Buchou." nodded Gasper as he formed a fort pillow on the room.

"I bought us some snacks while we wait for them." Koneko opened a large box revealing a variety of chips and sweets.

" Wow- Koneko. You really bought a large amount." Issei was mildly surprised.

"I asked Erin-senpai to pay for it." Koneko said with a shrug.

"As expected of Koneko-chan. How deadly." Issei said.

" We'll be taking our leave now." Rias stepped inside a magic circle and the other members followed.

The group was teleported to the Conference room and when they entered, the Faction Leaders were already present.

Xenovia gasped seeing Irina beside the Angel Michael. The latter gave her a cold stare.

Issei, likewise, was shocked to see Vali leaning on the wall behind Azazel.

" So he's with the Fallen Angel Faction?"

" Now that my sister and her peerage is here, we shall begin the meeting."

Sirzechs motioned to Rias to step in front to begin her detailed report. Sona followed after her and began explaining as well.

" These are the events recorded from Kokabiel's previous attack." A screen appeared showing the ORC fighting the Fallen. "That is our proof for the report we narrated earlier."

"I, Sona Sitri, would likewise affirm this claim. The Student Council was the one in charge of setting up the barrier to prevent further damages from the attack."

Sona and Rias stepped back in unison and bowed.

" That is all for our report."

" Impressive, So-tan. You really make me proud." remarked Serafall and Sona just maintaned a neutral expression.

"What can the Leader of the Fallen Angels say about this?" Sirzechs turned to Azazel.

" Well, seeing that one of our subordinate caused that chaos, I apologize for that. But I'll have you know that Kokabiel was defying orders and we aren't aware of whatever he was doing." Azazel casually replied.

" And this includes the incident about those Sacred Gears where they targeted 3 devils under your sister's peerage."

Issei and Asia tensed at this and Azazel simply smirked.

" That reminds me, where is Erin-chi anyways?" he turned to Rias. "Vali and I are pretty much looking forward on seeing her. She's the sole reason why Vali isn't getting bored at the thought of this conference."

" She had her own matters to attend." Rias curtly replied.

" Oho, that's too bad." Azazel leaned his face on his hand. "I was planning on inviting her for a drinking session, after all."

" It's best if we don't stray away from the topic." Sirzechs announced and Azazel could care less.

" Yes, Red Dragon Emperor. You look like you wanted to say something."

All eyes were on Issei and the boy fidgeted on his position.

" A-Ah.. Angel Leader Michael-sama." The said Angel looked at Issei. " I just wanted to know... why was Asia exiled from the church?" He finished in a determined tone.

" I-Issei-san."

"Yes. I was indeed informed about that incident." Michael sighed and turned to Asia. " I apologize. Things were pretty hectic at the church that time and a lot of the supervising leaders assigned were unyielding to change their decision."

" I-I see.." Asia timidly replied.

Michael glanced at Xenovia before he continued.

" And it was quite unfair that you were also exiled from the church just because you discovered the truth. You and Asia can hardly be considered as heretics."

Irina gasped hearing this.

" S-So Xenovia didn't betray us?"

" However, since things can be negotiated and the supervisors are more agreeable this time, we can arrange for your return. That is, if you wish to work for the Church again.

The ORC were shocked hearing this and Issei looked at the two in worry.

" Thank you, Michael-sama. But I am happy with my new life right now." Asia replied with a smile.

" Hai. The same goes for me. Even if I am a newly reincarnated devil, I can already say that I am contented with the new life I am having." Irina was slightly saddened hearing Xenovia's response.

"I understand." smiled Michael and turned to Rias. " I'll be leaving them in your care."

" Hoo. For a moment I thought they might agree." Issei sheepishly said and scratched his head.

"Ah. Why don't we proceed to the main goal of this conference?" Azazel boredly interjected.

" Let's agree with this peace treaty between the Factions and just get it over with. That is the main purpose of this conference, isn't it?"

The other leaders were surprised at Azazel's comment. More so, his indifferent attitude about the topic.

"I'm getting bored sitting here without any entertainment. I'm certain Vali also agrees." He pointed to the boy.

" Well then. I have no objections on that one. But I'm afraid that there is a little complication knowing that we aren't the only destructive forces present." Sirzechs remarked.

" Ah, you're right. Let's hear the thoughts of the Dragon Emperors." Azazel said.

" I only want to fight opponents who are as strong as me." Vali immediately responded.

" You can still look for powerful opponents even without a war." scoffed Azazel in amusement." " What about you, Red Emperor?"

" Ah-Me?" Issei grew awkward. " Well this is a first haha I'm not used to being asked on the spot."

" Though the real reason is that I don't have any idea on the topic."

" Let me make it easy for you." Azazel smirked. " No war means you can have any girls you want and continue with your harem dream. This means that you can even include your master in that."

Rias gasped at this and Issei gaped.

"You can explore all of Rias Gremory's properties but if there is a war then no sexy time. Bye bye happy time."

"H-Hey! Why am I included in this?" protested Rias.

" I VOTE FOR PEACE!" Issei happily raised his hand. " FOR MY HAREM DREAM AND TO CONQUER BUCHOU!"

Rias shook her head at this and Azazel laughed.

" Issei-san. You are aware that Buchou's brother is still here, right?" Kiba sheepishly asked.

Sirzechs merely chuckled after seeing Issei realize his slip up.

" I'm afraid that won't be possible seeing that my dear sister already considers herself engaged to the Blue Dragon Empress." Rias blushed at this.

" Nah. No worries. Just give Erin-chi to me and all of you can just proceed or whatever." smirked Azazel.

" Absolutely not!" came the reply of the ORC in unison.

" Aw. That's bad. Vali was actually planning on having her for himself. They would fight everyday like a couple, don't you think?" The White emperor maintained a stoic expression at this.

" Anyways." Sirzechs cleared his throat. "We are aware of the absence of the Blue Dragon Empress. I take it that you can vote on her stead?"

" Hai. Her thoughts should be the same. That is, to uphold peace." replied Rias.

" Very well. It is settled then." Sirzechs looked satisfied and the other leaders agreed with the decision.

" We should thereby uphold peace within the -

*(TIME FREEZE)*

" W-What's happening?" Issei was shocked to see some of the ORC members frozen on their tracks.

"This is bad." Michael commented. " It seems that we are attacked by unknown forces."
