3rd person pov

The stranger is working on the church again while Asia is in school. He hasn't had problems with any of the devils anymore but leaving Asia alone close to the devils makes him uneasy. It just gets worse when he feels another devil, probably Phenex, enters the town and immediately he makes his way to the school. Arriving he sneaks onto a tree from which he has a good view inside one of the rooms and he sees the heiress of the Gremory family and one the youngest son of the Phenex, but they aren't what concerns him, he is looking for Asia and he finds her with the devil boy that stupidly tried to fight a trained exorcist. He can't hear what is said inside but after the Phenex leaves, the small white haired girl opens the window and stares right at him, she knows he is there but she doesn't say anything.

Rias:" Now that that is done, Asia do you want to help us out?"

Asia being the ever helpful girl she is says yes and Rias proposes for her to become a part of her peerage.

Asia:" What would that mean?"

Rias:" You would be able to help us, at the cost that you will never be able to enter a church, you will be in pain when you try to pray or to read the bible and most importantly you will be affected very badly from all sorts of holy magic and weapons."

Asia:" But I can help Issei-San if I become a devil?"

Rias:" Why, yes, of course!"

Asia agrees to the horror of the stranger who gets down from the tree and without caring to hide from sight he leaves, only to run into a certain blonde guy from the student council.

Saji:" Stop! You aren't a student or part of the staff from this school so identify yourself and tell me the reason for you being here!"

The stranger looks at the shorter boy and grabs him by the face before nailing him above the school entrance with some bayonets. After he left a girl with brown hair that is kept in twin tails leaves the school, searching for Saji and as she finds him she let's out a scream in terror. Meanwhile the stranger has arrived in the church again and begins to pack Asia's things together neatly, before setting them down outside of the church and closing the door as he re enters. A few minutes later Rias' group with Asia arrives at the church.

Rias:" I can't remember that anyone would have repaired it."

Asia:" That was the kind father."

She goes to knock on the door but before she can do so the voice of the stranger sounds from behind it.

???:" Your things are in the cartons beside the door."

His voice is hollow and seems weak.

???:" If you devils won't be gone in exactly a minute from now I will kill all of you."

Rias:" That would lead to another great war, would you really risk that?"

???:" I am not part of the church anymore, if I kill you only the devils will come and then I have to kill them too."

Asia:" Father, what is wrong?"

???:" Why?"

Asia:" *confused* Why? Why what?"

???:" Why did you decide to abandon the holy way? Why did you want to leave the grace of God so desperately?"

Asia:" I don't understand."

???:" You are a devil and as such you aren't allowed to enter a church ever again, when you die your soul will never be able to enter the paradise and it will be thrown into the pits of hell for all eternity, to be tortured in all ways possible."

Asia:" But God is a forgiving father, he would never let me tumble into the dark without his guidance."

???:" No. God let's every human make his or her own decisions and you chose to turn your back to him, you abandoned him and his teachings. And I gave you shelter, food and what I could to make you stay on the righteous path, wasn't it enough? Did you yearn for wealth so much that you couldn't stop yourself?"

Asia:" *tearing up* N-No. I had to so I could help my friend."

???:" A friend that doesn't care for you if you don't jump on him without clothes. It is as it is, now leave and if any of you return here I shall make sure that you won't be able to leave again."

The group takes Asia's things and leaves, all but one.

Kiba:" You were part of the church once so tell me. Do you have information about the holy sword project?"

The door creaks open a little bit and a glowing red eyes looks through.

???:" It was a damned project and those with ties to it were either killed on the spot or fled to the fallen angels."

The door closes again and Kiba turns to leave.

???:" But since you have a righteous soul let me advise you: don't seek vengeance, it will only destroy yourself and hurt those you care about."

The stranger's footsteps can be heard as he leaves the door and Kiba leaves.

???2:' Why didn't you kill them? I wouldn't have cared if you fed me devils.'

The voice inside the stranger's head is deep and rumbling, she belongs to a being far more dangerous than any devil, angel or fallen angel alive today.

???:" Wrath, we have a lot to do now."

Wrath:' So we will continue our search for the others?'

???:" Yes, it is time to end this."

Wrath:' You have been the only one that has ever been able to wield my weapon without going insane, are you sure you want to do that?'

???:" No, but it is my mission and my burden to carry out and if I fail then so be it."

He gathers his belongings and leaves the church after securing it with a simple spell to ensure no thief can enter. He makes his way to a natural way to the underworld and enters it, those ways are hidden and not even devils or fallen angels can find them, not to mention the angels, but the stranger can do that with ease. Thanks to Wrath and his demonic heritage he has a connection to anything demonic and can use it so when he arrives in hell he first of all let's his senses stretch out and he does feel something, some things he has been searching for a long time now.

Wrath:' I can feel one of my siblings.'

???:' I can feel it too but I feel something different coming from the same way.'

He sneakily makes his way towards the place where the demonic energy is coming from, just to find servants of Ajuka Beelzebub surrounding it and trying to take it.

Wrath:' NO! THEY CAN'T TAKE HIM!'

???:' *draws the pistol* And they won't, but we should thank them nonetheless, after all they provide dinner for you.'

With that he aims at the first of six devils and shoots him in the head, there is no sound to the gunshot and the other five look around to find the shooter and as they see the stranger they attack him with magic but he gracefully jumps over them, shooting another devil while doing so.

The red mist from the two dead slithers towards the stranger and enters the gun, immediately Wrath is devouring the two souls and with them the stranger is getting more powerful as well. One of the devils has the idea to run while the others keep the stranger from following him, he wants to report to Ajuka and as he runs he hears nothing from behind him, no screaming, no shooting, just an endless silence that seems to take a hold of him. The stranger has dealt with the other three devils and killed them.

Wrath:' You are lucky that I was the first you have found.'

???:" I know, without you I would have died long ago and the devil that fled would know my face."

Wrath:' Yes. Now I want to get my sibling back.'

The stranger turns to the small stone altar and takes what seems to be a flask, he opens it and smells the scent of an old wine, red and sweet. He takes a sip and as the alcoholic drink enters his body he feels a bit stronger and faster.

Gluttony:' Wrath my brother!'

Gluttony's voice is melodic but he sounds like he didn't do anything but drink alcohol.

Wrath:' Gluttony, do you remember where the others are kept?'

Gluttony:' Oh yes, I was supposed to be guarded by the Beelzebub, Envy is with Satan, Lust is with the Leviathan, Sloth is with the Azmodeus, Azazel has Pride and Michael has Greed.'

???:" It seems that I will have to wait until they come to me."

Gluttony:' First of what is your name? Secondly, why should you wait for them?'

Wrath:' You can forget the first question, I have been trying to get his name for nearly a thousand years now and he didn't give me any hint.'

???:" And the second question is answered simply by home advantage. I can't just walk up to their homes and hope that I won't be caught, so something has to happen for me to be able to get close to them."

The stranger begins to walk back to the human world, the flask and gun hidden in this coat, while he still holds the gun so no one sees his face.

Wrath:' Gluttony and I will lay low until you need us again.'

Gluttony:' That is so unfair! You have been able to devour souls for a thousand years now and I don't do anything just after waking up again!?"

Wrath:' You wouldn't stop until we get interrupted.'

???:" Just stop your bickering and go to sleep. I will probably have to call you again."

Gluttony:' Then let me tell you what the possession of my flask does for you. You won't have to sleep anymore, you will begin to be much fitter than before and you will keep that body shape even if you eat and drink more than any other being in the world. You can't get drunk and you are immune to most diseases.'

???:" Thank you for the information."

Gluttony and Wrath begin to talk with each other again, which consist of Wrath telling Gluttony about the changes the world underwent in the time of their disappearance and that he hasn't been able to corrupt their current bearer.

Arriving in the church again the stranger continues to work on the building while thinking that he should try to get Greed now, since he will need money in the future and although he has saved a lot of money during the thousand years he is walking the earth now and having multiple bank accounts in different countries, a bit money on hand would be beneficial.

He works without tiring and rest and when he is done the exterior of the church looks at least like it should have a few years before but after he has entered the building again a knock is heard and he opens the door to see the blonde boy again.

Sona:" My name is Sona Sitri and I demand to know your purpose for being in Kuoh and why you attacked my pawn without any provocation."

???:" Your questions will have to wait, I was just about to bless this holy place again and if you insist on getting answers I will gladly do so with your blood."

He closes the door and as he hears the steps leaving the church he continued on his business and blesses the church again.

???:" I wonder when the angels will come for me."
