Mommy Dearest

There In All Her Splendor Stood The Seraph Of Hearts Gabriel, My Mother, I Had Not Expected Her So Soon, Nor What She Brought With Her, The Holy Sword Around Her Waist Was Familiar, But I Didn't Outright Recognise It. What Was Her Purpose I Wondered, What Would Be So Blasted Important That She'd Risk Infiltrating Gremory Clan Territory? I Never Was Much Of An Interest After Father Got Stuck In Limbo. Was This **** I Thought? No, That Was Not In Her Nature, and Kinslaying Was A Way To Damn Herself To Fallen Angel Status. Whatever She Wanted, I'd Find Out Right Now..............

"Hello Jao." Says Gabriel. "That's Not My Name, It's Izanaki Now, Besides What Do You Care?" Asks Izanaki. "Your Still My Son." Says Gabriel. "Yes, A Son Of Angel and A Devil, Did You That Father Was Descended From The First Of Devils, Lucifer?" Says Izanaki In A Condescending State Of Questioning. "That's Why I'm Here, His Soul Finally Passed On Into Heaven, At Least For A Little Bit. I Have The Lockbox, and Wanted To Open It With You." Says Gabriel. "Fine, The Key's In That Necklace Of Yours." Says Izanaki. Gabriel Removes Her Locket and Fishes A Crystal From It, They Insert The Crystal Into The Lock and It Snaps Open, Breaking The Holy Seal On It. The Lid Opens and Reveals A Large and Worn Journal. "This Is Your Father's Handwriting, It Details Everything He Ever Learned About The Sacred Gears and The System, He Addressed It To You." Says Gabriel. "Mom, What's That In The Lining? It Likes Like Enochian Runes." Says Izanaki. "It Is, It Says To Find The Lost Treasure Of Samael Morningstar One Must Seek Out The Fourteen Relics Of Domination and Supremacy." Says Gabriel. "Wasn't Lucifer Of The Bible Credited As Samael Of The Morningstar? And If I Remember Correctly Didn't Samael's Blood Get Cursed Into A Poison Against Dragons? If That's Right Then It Stands To Reason Divine Dividing and The Boosted Gear May Be One Of The Keys To The Treasure." Says Izanaki. "You Might Be Right, I Need To Speak To Michael About This." Says Gabriel. "Mom, Maybe Don't Mention The Trip To Hell." Says Izanaki. "Hehe, Yeah, Your Probably Right." Says Gabriel. "Mom, Keep In Touch." Says Izanaki As His Mother Disappears.

As She Leaves, Izanaki Looks Into His Father's Journal Skimming Through The Pages, Until He Finds Something Interesting, The Balance Breaker Potential Of Annihilation Maker. "Interesting." Says Izanaki As He Makes A Mental Note To Hand It To Akeno To Make Copies Of and Hand The Copies To Rias and The Rest Of The Crimson Ruin Princesses Peerage. Jao Sits Down On The Marble Throne In His Second Underground Floor Crosses His Legs and Flips Through The Pages As He Reads Up On His Father's Work.

In Reading The Journal I'd Gained A Whole New Appreciation For My Father, His Years Of Work Had Given Me A Bounty Of Data To Sift Through, Something Invaluable For My Long-Term Plans. I'd Already Gotten Balance Breaker For My Twice Critical, Twilight Healing, and The Annihilation Maker, But My Father Had Theorised That Provided Certain Conditions Unique To Each Sacred Gear Were Met, The Potential A Balance Broken Sacred Ger Could Evolve Into A Subspecies Sacred Gear With A New Balance Breaker Form Was Not Unreachable. This Gave Me A Driving Push To Complete His Theories With Fact and With Any Luck, Go Beyond The Divine Dividing Longinus's Sacred Gear Limits To Create A New Sacred Gear.

Izanaki Was Watching The Two Noble Families Enter His Underworld Domain, The Noble Families Of Astaroth and Glasya-Labolas, The Two Potential Heiresses Should Something Happen To Diodora Astaroth and Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas, Latia Astaroth and Iryuka Glasya-Labolas. Latia Was The Niece Of Ajuka Beelzebub and A Member Of Astaroth's Branch Family, Iryuka Was From The Main Branch Of Glasya-Labolas, But Was Not Much Older Than Ravel Phenex, Whereas Latia Was Roughly The Same Age and Bust Size As Rias Gremory. They Weren't The Only Fair Maidens Coming To His Fortress, The Former Seat Of The Devil King Rizevim Livan Lucifer Obliterated At His Command and Rebuilt Stone By Stone Layer By Layer. The Fortress Was Impregnable, It Had Secret Tunnels That Connected To Every Major House In The Underworld. Gremory, Sitri, Phenex, Glasya-Labolas, Astaroth, Bael, Agares, and Belial. The Meeting Was Set To Begin, His Potential Prospects For A Queen Were In The Building, As Were The Surprising Appearance Of The Phenex Family, What Was The Little Fried Chicken Up To???

As He Sat On His Black Throne, Izanaki Eyed Each Prospect Carefully, Licked His Lips In Anticipation and Went To Speak, Yet Was Cut Off By Magic Circle. "I Should Hope You'll Not Be Making Any Rash Decisions Without Us Izanaki?" Says Rias As She, Akeno, and Asia Appear. "I'm Seriously Regretting Fighting Riser For You Right Now." Says Izanaki Quietly. "What Was That?" Asks Rias The Bael Clan's Destruction Aura Raised Up. "Nothing.....Dear." Izanaki Says Slightly Cowed By Rias's Aura, Slightly. Oh This Was Gonna Be Troublesome, So Very Fucking Troublesome. Izanaki Wiped Seat From His Brow, Or Rather He Turned It To Steam Upon Furrowing His Brow. "I Think It's Quite Clear Why Your Each Here, Except For House Phenex Of Course." Says Izanaki. "Lord Adaire...." Began The Lady Phenex. "Izanaki, Adaire Is Dead." Says Izanaki. "Lord Izanaki, My Daughter Merely Wishes To Represent House Phenex, and Since Her Brother's Defeat and Loss Of The Lady Gremory, We Are In Need Of Another Alliance." Says Lady Phenex. "Then Go Strong Arm Magdaran Bael, You Don't Need Me Do You?" Asks Izanaki. "No, Your Right, It Doesn't Have To Be You, But My Daughter Has Become....Fixated With You Since Your Beating Of Riser." Says The Lady Phenex As An Indignant and Embarrassed Blush Streaks Up Onto Ravel's Face, and Latia and Iryuka Try and Fail To Stifle A Laugh. "Well I'm Partly To Blame, My Control Over Excalibur Nightmare Has Never Been As Adept At Single Manipulation As It Has Been Group, So It's Possible Something Went Arry When I Gave Riser Those Nightmares." Says Izanaki, As He Mentally Counts On His Fingers.

Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Asia, K, M, Xenovia, Irina, Lint, Sona, Serafall, Tsubaki, Ruruko, Momo, Those Three Girls At Kuoh, Ravel, Latia, and Iryuka.

"Looks Like Everybody Is A Winner, Hare King It Is, You Three, Rias, Akeno, and Asia, You All Get The Billing." Says Izanaki, Much To Their Surprise. "Don't Give Me That Look, I'm Descended From Lucifer, I I'm Entitled To A Bit Of Freedom Here, Sides Not Like Anybody, Sirzechs Included, Could Stop Me." Says Izanaki As He Snaps His Fingers and The Throne Drops Through The Floor As It Takes Him Downstairs.

Izanaki Was Swimming Laps In His Demon Shark Infested Pool, Made Him Swim Twice As Fast. He Got Out Of His Fifty Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Fifth Lap and Went To The Sauna To Steam Up. He Got In and Was Instantly Pounced Upon.....
