Very much so!

"So... Run by me again exactly what Kokabiel has done this time?" Azazel's voice asked in a steely tone from Raynare's phone. His tone made it clear that he was one hundred and ten percent done with tolerating Kokabiel's actions.

"He stole an Excalibur from each of the main branches of the Church," Xenovia stated bluntly as she approached the phone. "We don't know exactly what he intends to do with them."

Raynare shivered at the tone Azazel has taken. He hadn't even used that tine with her upon finding out about her plans for Asia, and her actions against Rias's Peerage. Oh, he was mad, sure, but not THIS mad. Her actions were over the line and would have caused some tension, but war could still have been avoided without much difficulty. A few lone, low ranking rogues stirring up trouble? That was easy enough to distance from. A member of the Grigori stealing some of the most valuable and powerful treasures of God's faction? This was likely the closest the three factions were to starting up all out war once more in a century.

"...fucking hell, Kokabiel, now you've stepped in it," Azazel muttered darkly, before he stated, "Alright, both of you Church representatives, listen up, I'm going to state very clearly, I don't give a damn if you want to team up with the Devils in the area. This is an emergency that calls for it. I will inform the other members of the Grigori that Kokabiel has in no uncertain terms provoked this reaction by stealing the blades, and bringing them into Devil territory. In fact, I'm dispatching a group of my own to the area to bring him in. If Ms. Gremory is open to that?"

"I don't care," Rias nodded, even though Azazel couldn't see it. "As long as they are ONLY here for Kokabiel, and ensuring the Excaliburs are returned, I will tolerate the presence of whoever you send. I want the bastard and those swords gone."

"Then it's settled. I'll send Vali and his team... Against my better judgement, they're the ones available, and closest, and at the needed level to handle the situation. I'll tell him not to start anything with you Issei." He then hung up as Issei blinked owlishly.

"Um... Start anything with me? What does he mean by that?" Issei asked, looking around towards the others.

"...we've heard of him... He's the one with the Sacred Gear of the White Dragon Emperor," Irina grimaced. "Given you have traded your arm to the Red Dragon Emperor, I take it he is in contact with you, and told you their history?"

"...shit, you're serious? The White One Ddraig has been going on about is under Azazel's command?" Issei questioned.

"Yes," Xenovia nodded. "And despite not being a Fallen Angel himself, he is one of Azazel's most powerful subordinates. I suggest you avoid confronting him when he shows up. You wouldn't be able to defeat him."

"Regardless, we have the green light to team up without putting the Fallen faction on edge," Irina nodded. "So let's start strategizing..."
