"Why on earth did you create a clone, Ophis?" Great Red asked.
"This, is the snake that marked Issei as my mate."
"So are you and Issei her… parents?"
"No. Lilith is merely a clone. A copy of myself. Issei belongs to her, just as much as he belongs to me."
"Lilith? Why on earth did you name her that?"
"The name Lilith is sometimes related to the 'belonging of the night'."
Great Red tilted his head as he grew thoughtful.
"Issei's powers represent that of the Sun. So is Lilith…"
"Yes," Ophis began as she placed her hand on Lilith's head."The opposite of the Sun. The Dark Moon Lilith. That, is what she is named after."
"…Hmm." Great Red hummed as he watched Lilith float up to him. "So I have another sister, huh?"
Lilith tilted her head as she gazed at the Great Red, who felt a little uneasy at her gaze. The second Ophis suddenly lifted her finger up and placed it on Great Red's horn. Great Red rose his head at Lilith's movement.
"What are you-"
"Pinch."
"OUCH! DAMN IT!" Great Red howled out in pain as Lilith pinched his horn.
Azazel's Mansion
"Issei Hyoudou. It's nice to finally meet you."
'Hmm. A Fallen Angel.'
"Nice to meet you too." Issei nodded.
"Come on in. Make yourself at home." The man said.
Complying with the man's suggestion, Issei walked inside the house, noticing the area was extremely dark. As he sat down, Issei looked around his surroundings as the man in front of him sat down.
"So, I assume that you know what I am."
"A Fallen Angel."
"That's right."
As he crossed his arms, Issei looked around as he detected more energy sources. He widened his eyes when he sensed a familiar presence.
"Azazel-sama?"
Raynare rubbed her eyes as she walked into the man's living room. As her sight cleared, the Fallen Angel widened her eyes in awe.
"Issei-kun?!"
"Y-Yuuma-san?! Why are you dressed like that?!"
"W-well I…"
Issei blinked several times as he saw that Raynare was in a black version of an S&M outfit.
"Hahaha. Well, this is certainly interesting." Azazel said in amusement.
Raynare's face flushed in embarrassment as she unconsciously covered her body. Normally she wouldn't care if anyone saw her like this, but Issei's reaction actually started to worry her.
Rolling his eyes in amusement, Azazel looked over to Raynare.
"Raynare, would you be a dear and bring our guest a drink?"
Before Raynare could move, Issei held his hand up.
"No thanks. I'm underage."
"Oh really? Well, that's a shame." Azazel said.
Blushing furiously, Raynare ran out of the living room, leaving Azazel and Issei.
"So," Azazel began. "How's life?"
"…Just dandy."
Chuckling, Azazel looked over on his couch and picked up a game system. Raising an eyebrow, Issei pointed to it.
"I thought the reason you called me over here was because-"
"Come now, Issei Hyoudou," Azazel interrupted as he placed the game next to him. "I didn't ask for you to come here because I wanted to talk about information."
Issei sighed and rubbed the back of his head.
"Then what did you call me for?"
"Simple. I wanted to thank you."
"…Really?" Issei asked dryly.
He'd been getting a lot of thank yous lately. First was from Serafall, then the Angel Gabriel, and now this Fallen Angel was thanking him.
"But of course. Thanks to you, another Great War was avoided."
Issei rose an eyebrow as he crossed his arms.
"I'm a little surprised that you're so calm about this. I mean I practically bisected one of the members of your species."
Azazel shrugged nonchalantly and crossed his arms.
"Kokabiel was one of the rogues who wished for another Great War to happen just so he could prove that the Fallen Angels are the superior race. I'm not really a fighting type of guy."
"You're not?"
"Yeah," Azazel said as he shrugged again. "But anyway, thanks for saving everyone."
"Your welcome, I guess. So is that all?"
"Not exactly." Azazel said as he picked up the game system.
Looking at it closely for a moment, Azazel then smirked and looked up at Issei.
"There's going to be a meeting between the Three Factions tomorrow, Issei Hyoudou. If all goes well, we'll be able to sign a peace-offering between the three races."
Issei rose an eyebrow.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because I want you to attend the meeting."
"I'm neither of those races. It's like I told Yuu- I mean Raynare. I'm not human, I'm not an Angel, a Fallen Angel, nor am I a Devil. There's no point in me going."
"Hmm. You have a point. There is no point in you going to the meeting. However, it would actually be beneficial for you."
"I'm not interested, Azazel."
"What about a challenge?"
"A challenge?"
"Yeah," Azazel began as he patted the game system next to him. "If I win, you have to go to the meeting between the Three Factions. If you win, you don't have to go, and you shall do whatever you want."
Issei looked away as he pondered his decision.
'Why is this guy so interested in me going to the meeting? Wait a minute…'
"Is it about Vali? Is the reason you want me to go because of the Vanishing Dragon?" Issei asked the Fallen Angel.
Azazel smirked as he shrugged.
"Play me, and you'll find out."
Dimensional Gap
"Baka-Red, I am sure your horn is fine."
"Shut up, Ophis!"
"Pinch."
"Lilith, you stay the hell away from me!"
Ophis rolled her eyes as she watched Great Red recoil from Lilith, who was relentlessly trying to pinch his horn.
As she observed her clone, Ophis noticed that Lilith seemed to have a innocent child-like demeanor. Although Lilith possessed all of Ophis' memories, she did not possess her current intelligence. In other words, the clone's mind was actually not fully developed.
'All that exists within my clone's mind,' Ophis began in her thoughts. 'Is being with our Issei, and trying to defeat Great Red.'
"Pinch." Lilith repeated as she pinched Great Red on one of his scales.
"Damn it! Ophis, control yourself!"
"I, am doing nothing, Baka-Red."
"You know what I meant!"
Azazel's Mansion
"GO!"
Two racing cars shot off from across each other. The shining black car seemed to be gaining an advantage over the orange-yellow vehicle.
