Cherreads

Chapter 8 - Ch 8

Motohama Grins gleefully at the sight of what he sees as Target Practice.

Motohama: Oh I'm boutta enjoy every second of this~

Motohama had his utility belt on him, He pulls out a lot of small gadget and knickknacks and assembled them together into a Double Barrel Shotgun. He cocked the Gun with joy as he walked up to a unassuming Pyro Abyss Mage, before Punching through it's Pyro barrier, grabbing it's face and slamming it to the Ground. Motohama aimed the Shotgun at It's head before blowing it off entirely, causing the poor thing to disintegrate

Everyone around him and especially the Abyss looked at his action in Fear and Horror. In their eyes, no one has never been able to take out an Abyssal being with such brutality the likes they never have even seen

Imber: W-W-What did you do...?

Motohama only cocked his head up and turns to the Herald

Motohama: Oh Sorry! I don't do Petty Squabbles *Cocks Gun*

Lumine on the other hand went on the defensive immediately, sensing that there's something wrong with this Individual

Issei: Motohama, What The FUCK WAS THAT?!!

Motohama: Just sit still and look pretty man, I got this

Motohama Started walking up and Breaking their defenses like it was another Tuesday. Punching through Mage's elemental shields and shooting them to smithereens. Some Lectors tried to hit Motohama with Pyro and Electro attacks but he would just duck and weave out the Way with ease, Shooting them down one by one

Imber: Y-Your Highness, We have to Leave!

Lumine: Wait NO! My Brother!

The Herald Grabbed Lumine forcefully and opened a portal as she was trying desperately to stay

Motohama seeing this only grinned

Motohama: Hah! DON'T FUCKING THINK SO!

Motohama Aimed his Shotgun at the Portal and Pulled the Trigger. Shots fired towards The Portal, Shattering the Abyss's way out

Imber: What?!

Motohama: Nah you WANT the Smoke! I'm not letting you leave!

Before the Abyss could register anything, Their Battalion at the entrance got blown to Bits by an energy blast, Courtesy of Kiba still In His BlackCondor suit

Kiba: Hah... Finally-

He Looks up to See Motohama holding a Shotgun

Kiba: Motohama-kun?

He Smiled and Waved, while kicking a nearby Hilichurl

Motohama: Hiya Kiba, What's with the Jetman shtick?

The Blondie tilted his head in confusion

Kiba: It's... a way of distraction and pushing insid- wait a minute, how are you even here?

Motohama: I'll explain later, Let's Finish these Fucks first

The Two Guys got to Work Disposing anything in front of them that was Abyss Shaped. Right now the Monstadt entrance was just pure Chaos with Bodies among bodies of Abyss Monster's laying waste by The Two Boys

Lumine seeing this, and Looking back at Her Brother, she had an idea,

Lumine: Imber, get another Portal ready, I'm getting him

Imber: Wait, Your Highness-!

Lumine snatched away from the Herald and Bolted towards Issei, Rias, Asia and Paimon on the High ground. She Jumped up, Trying to Grab her Brother until Rias-

Rias: ISE!

She grabbed him out of the Way, letting Lumine land behind them as Citizens ran towards the Church above ground

Lumine: Brother, Come back to me please... we can be reunited again... y-you want that right? don't you want that?

She Tried desperately to convince him. But Issei's mind was already made up

Issei: No.... I'm Done, Lumine... I already made my choice

Lumine didn't like that, She stepped even closer

Lumine:... You're coming with me one way or another-

Rias: I don't mean to interrupt but No

Rias stepped in front of Him, with Asia and Paimon kneeling beside him for protection

Asia: Issei-san, Are you Okay?

Paimon: Aether...

Lumine was displeased at this sight

Rias: Get Through me first, Your Highness

Lumine: out of the Way, he is mine. This doesn't concern you, human

..

..

Human?

Rias: Ptff-

Rias let out a Hearty Laugh, Catching Lumine Off-Guard. Now relived of all tension from her body, knowing that Lumine Doesn't know her yet

Lumine: W-What? Did I say something Funny?

Rias: hahahaha.... funny~ you think I'm Human? Oh you're sooo~ mistaken darling~

Rias Flared out her Devil Wings, Catching the eyes of unknowning Onlookers

Lumine: W-What?!

Paimon: What the?! What is she!

Asia & Issei: Devil

Paimon: WHAT?!

Lumine was shocked to learn that, Sizing Rias up cautiously

Lumine: D-Devil...?

Rias smiles

Rias: Sure is, and If you're gonna Take away my Boyfriend, you have to get through me First, Honey~

Lumine's Eye's shot up as she glides here vision between Issei and Rias

Lumine: No... You and my Brother...?

Rias: Ah ah ah~ He cut you off didn't he? He's no longer your Brother. It's his choice and I will stand by him for it. For Now, you should run Little Princess. Your Army is dwindling by the Seco-

SLASH!

Asia: ONEE-SAMA!!!

Issei: RIAS!!!

Before she Could finish her sentence, Lumine summoned her sword and strike down at her, Causing her to recoil

Lumine: are you done?

Rias knelt down, Inspecting the wound... Issei's Anger Flared up

Issei: lu-MINE-!

Rias: Wait a sec.

Issei snaps out and turns to her standing up as if she was Fine

Lumine: Huh? Why isn't there any blood?

Issei: Rias..?

She touched her "wound" again. But all she felt was just a little bump

Rias: I.... I don't feel any pain...

Lumine: what?

Issei: Huh?!

Issei couldn't understand how that was possible. Rias was clearly slashed across the chest, But no wound was inflicted on her, nor was there any pain

Issei: Motohama!

Issei whips back below, Yelling for Motohama as He was currently blasting some Hilichurl in the face with his Shotgun

Motohama: Yeah?

Issei: Rias was Hit but she didn't feel any pain! What's going on?!

Motohama stops, then look at Issei

Motohama: Well Damn! I guess my Theory was right!

Kiba roundhouse kicked away a Mage before turning back to Motohama

Kiba: Theory? What Theory?

Motohama: When I first Came here I noticed that I felt lighter, I took more hard hits to realize that it didn't hurt. I made a theory that this planet's gravity Density is much lower than Ours. In turn we can take harder hits without much pain. And from what Issei just told me about Rias, I guess I'm right

Kiba's, Issei's, Asia's, And Paimon's Mouths dropped at his explanation. Rias heard this and smiled, looking right at Lumine

Rias: You heard the Man. You gotta try harder to take me down, Honey~

Lumine on the other hand, felt frustrated amd got ticked off at Rias who kept using that name on her

Lumine: Why You-! AAH!!

Before she Could let out her anger. Rias Blasted Lumine with her Destructions Magic, sending her back down to where Imber is

Rias: and THAT'S Payback, hussy!

Lumine rolled back to Imber, taking in the in intense pain

Imber: Your Highness!

The Herald knelt down and picked her up to her feet

Lumine: Devil power... It's that Powerful...?

Imber: With All Due respect your Highness. Your Brother is not budging, we severely underestimate these individuals, They have way too many skilled fighters. We have to Leave

Lumine: But-

Imber: Your Highness!

Lumine Looked up at her Brother, a solem expression donned on his face, She Half accepts Reality that He might not want to see her ever again...

Lumine:.... okay... let's go

Imber and a Couple more Herald's opened a portal back and rushed in

Motohama: Hey Wait-!

Motohama tried ran after and shoot at them but the portal closed before the Bullets could hit

Motohama: DAMNIT FUCK!

Motohama threw his Shotgun to the ground in frustration

Kiba: They're gone...

Motohama: Damnit... I wanted more fun

Kiba looks at Him weirdly

Kiba: You have a problem

Motohama: Don't we all?

Right then, Two Hilichurls flew from the left and right side specifically and colliding into each other, landing at their feet. The two looked down and at where they came from to see Kamen Rider Jeanne and Na-Go coming from the left side with Kamen Rider Espada and Aguilera coming from the right

Irina/Jeanne: Annnnnd done!... Oh hey Motohama-kun!

Koneko/No-Go: motohama-senpai...

Motohama waved

Motohama: Hey guy's, looks like you cleared the wings out pretty well, Using Those Rider Forms too. Pretty neat

Akeno/Espada: Fufufufu~ those were easy Cannon Fodder

Xenovia/Aguilera: did the Main Abyss People ran?

Kiba Untransforms out of his BlackCondor suit and Answered

Kiba: Yeah, One of the.... uh...

Motohama: Herald's

Kiba: Oh yeah- Herald's told Issei-kun's Sister to Retreat

Motohama: We were about to win too...

The Girl's all Untransforms as the Battle had ended

Irina: Well... *sigh* let's go check on Issei-kun, shall we?

They all nodded and begin walking up the stairs

Switching back to Issei and their part, Asia and Paimon released him as he stood up and Walked over to Rias to check on her

Issei: Are you sure you're not hurt anywhere?

Rias: Yes I'm fine... as Motohama said, Any hits to us will be lighter compared to our world. I'm fine

Issei Sighed in resignation, Believing her

Paimon: That's Busted too... you all came from another world that's has more density? That means here you're pretty much Invincible!

Gasper: Seems so!

The Four turn to see Gasper coming out from the left wing of the City

Gasper: I got everyone up to the church, everything's all cleared out now

Issei: Okay, good...

As soon as Gasper reconvene with issei and his group. Kiba, Motohama and their group came up to regroup too

Rias: Okay, is this Everyone? Where's Rossweisse and Ravel?

Xenovia: They're probably up at the church, with the civilians here

Issei: Then we should go up there

Motohama: Good because I need to report to Jean that we might've cause some Collateral Damage

The Group looked at Motohama, confused

Issei: You're a Knight of Favonius?

Motohama and the Group then Started Walking and talking up the stairs to the Church

Motohama: Well yeah I came here a few weeks ago, I had to blend in as something. I go by researching this world on my own and Helping People whenever I can, Including that White haired girl with us right now

Issei: So you know Paimon, okay...

Kiba: what Alias did you go by?

Motohama: Lew Alcindor

Issei and Kiba's Eye's widen at his Answer

Kiba: Kareem?!

Issei: Hold on, Why Kareem?

Motohama: Because His original name sounds Badass! Plus, 6 Time MVP, 6 Time NBA Champion! One of the Championship team he was with was the Bucks... Fucking MILWAUKEE!

Kiba: You Sound like an Old Head

Motohama: Consider me one then, Asshole

As the Boys banter about their likes, Paimon leans into one of the ORC's, Koneko's ear

Paimon: What are they talking about?

Koneko: Sports

Paimon simply nods and leans back, continuing to Walk up the Stairs

Eventually they got up to the statue square where the Civilians are at, Rossweisse and Ravel who were with them, Noticed the Group coming up

Rossweisse: Everyone!

The Two ran over to the group, seeing if they're okay

Rossweisse: Is it over?

Rias: Yes Sensei. It's over, everyone including the addition of Motohama-kun right here helped Drove off the Abyss

Motohama: Man... it would've if I would've just end it right there

Rossweisse looked over and was surprised at the sight of Motohama

Rossweisse: Motohama-kun, you're... here?

Motohama dejectedly puts his hands up

Motohama: I know, I was gone for a week. I was here, Don't worry about it

Ravel: Is everyone okay...?

Issei: We're fine Ravel, Thanks for Evacuating everyone up here

"L-Look! It's the Traveler!"

"The Traveler?"

"No way That's the Traveler! That Boy had Brown Hair!"

"No! We saw him change forms into the Traveler!"

The ORC turned to see the Civilians talking and Debating about Issei being Aether or Not

Motohama: Looks like someone's popular

Issei: Shut it, I don't like it either

Before the Commotion can Get any further, claps cam be heard among the crowd, eventually silencing everyone, The Claps can be heard from the one and only Dark-skinned Knight, Kaeya. Who was walking towards them

Kaeya: impressive Display of Combat, Everyone~ and Thank you for holding off the Abyss Order long enough for us Knights to Evacuate everyone up here

His Eye's landed on Issei, which Glitches out with the Appearance of Aether Filling in

Kaeya: Jean would like to call you all back into her office again, to congratulate you all

Kaeya waved The ORC to follow him as The rest of the Knights began guiding the Civilians back down

Motohama: Looking good There Miles, Tomas. Prepared for reconstruction down there?

Two Knights, Miles and Tomas look over to Motohama as they guide everyone back down

Miles: We're managing Lew, we'll be fine

Tomas: You go on with Captain Kaeya, we'll handle the rest

Motohama did a two finger salute towards them as he and his Friend's enter the HQ and goes straight to The Acting Grand Master Office where Jean, Lisa and now, Amber, Mika and Noelle are waiting

Kaeya: Jean, I got them

Kaeya came Into the room with the ORC plus Paimon and Motohama. Slowly filling up the room

Jean: Greetings Again Everyone. Thank you for Driving back the Abyss Order, We owe you our Gratitude

Rias: Oh its no worries Ms Jean, We were only doing what is right

Jean: You're quite Humble and- oh? Paimon, you're here too...

Paimon jolts a little, surprised with being called out

Paimon: O-Oh, yeah, I got together with these guy's

Motohama then stepped up

Motohama: May I intrude a little? There's something I would like to add

She raised her eyebrows in curiosity

Jean: Alcindor? Okay then, go ahead

Motohama turned to his group, more specifically Issei, silently nodding as if asking for something, in which Issei nodded back in confirmation

Motohama: The Abyss Order Leader, The Princess, personally came here herself

The Knights were surprised at His Statement, Kaeya and Lisa ponders separately

Lisa: The head coming in herself huh....

Kaeya: Looks like there's something here precious enough for her to come personally...

Motohama nodded, his arm's crossed

Motohama: More like Someone Captain

The Knights looked at him with curiosity

Amber: Someone?

Motohama smiled, walking over next to Issei and pushing him front and center

Motohama: This Guy

Everyone looked at him as if he was a trophy to be admired at

Issei: Really Motohama?

He asked him, deadpanned

Motohama chuckled, enjoying the confusion

Issei Sighed, Knowing that he can't back out now plus he's a little more comfortable with revealing it now courtesy of Albedo, he waved his hand over his body, Turning his Form into Aether

Jean:...

Lisa:...

Kaeya:... What....?

Amber:...

Mika:...

Noelle:...

They were completely speechless at the sight in front of them. Aether just Shakes his hands like Pompoms

Aether: Tada~... hey guys... been a while....

Jean: A-A-A-A-Aether...?

Aether: Yes Jean... it's me...

..

..

..

..

THUD! THUD!

Before he could utter something else, he was tackled to the ground by Two Teary eyed Favonius Members

Aether: Amber... Noelle...

They didn't say anything and continued holding onto Aether. But he understands, It's been 2 years after all...

Aether: Yes... I miss you too...

He looked to the other Members, seeing their Shocked faces

Aether: I miss you all too....
