The night was silent and so was the warehouse. Blood flowed everywhere. The scene was vomit-inducing. A half ripped human with blood splattered all over and a devil that was mutilated beyond belief.
A red light shone in the warehouse and a large red magic circle appeared. A figure walked out of it. She had long red hair and teal blue eyes. She had an authoritative gait and a confident demeanor.
She was Rias Gremory, Sister of the current Lucifer.
Following her, a few more figures appeared. They were part of her peerage. First was Akeno, She had long black hair styled into a ponytail and a curvaceous figure.
The second was a small figure and she had short silver hair and a black cat badge on the side of her head, Her name was Koneko.
The third was a blonde teenager, He had a handsome face with soft features. He had a sword with him and gave off the aura of a Knight. It was Kiba.
And the Last was a brown hair kid with a goofy expression looking around curiously. His name was Issei. Rias's newly acquired pawn.
They were her Queen, Rook, Knight, and Pawn respectively.
The gory scene was soon displayed to them and everyone was shaken by the disgusting sight, Koneko curled up into a ball and trembled, Issei vomited to the side while Kiba tried to comfort him but the disgust on his face was visible.
Rias and Akeno looked at the scene with a deep frown and disgust as well.
She looked at her Queen, "Akeno...Should we?"
Akeno nodded and took out a communication circle and contacted someone. She then went to comfort Koneko.
Soon another magic circle appeared and it flashed with a blue light. A figure walked out of it, She was Sona Sitri, Just like Rias she was the Sister of a Satan (Maou).
Since she was somewhat informed of what to expect she didn't bring her peerage along.
She had a bob-style haircut and rectangular spectacles with violet eyes. Unfortunately for her, she lacked in comparison to Rias and Akeno in the breast department.
As she looked at the scene disgust flashed through her eyes and she looked at Rias, "Do you know who did this?"
Rias shook her head, "It was already like this when we arrived, Sona."
"So? What do you want to do?" Sona asked while looking around.
"I want to catch the person who did this, Sona. After all, though the scene is disturbing it's just a low-class devil."
Sona didn't reply directly, "The scene looks like a typical stray devil's nightly work but someone got here and killed the devil."
"Yes, But the way it's done seems like whoever did it has some kind of annoyance with devils. What if one of my peerage members or your members stumbles upon him?"
"I know Rias, No need to state the obvious. What I meant was we should inform our siblings first."
"Bu-"
"No buts." Sona cut her off with a stern expression, "I understand you Rias, you know that too. I know why you want to do this alone. That's why I'm suggesting we 'inform' them not ask for help.
Of course, if it turns out to be something we can't deal with we'll just ask for help."
Rias was stunned into silence, was she so obvious?
"I- Well, fine."
Sona took a few pictures of the scene and started preparing a magic circle to leave, She glanced at Rias once more, "Don't be reckless, Rias." and with that, she disappeared.
Rias's mouth formed a pout and she grumbled under her breath, "I'm not reckless..."
Her hands glowed and demonic red energy that was similar to lighting crackled in her hands, It shot off and destroyed everything on the scene only leaving demolished rubble.
"Akeno, Everyone, let's go back."
A flash of red could be seen and after that silence was restored.
But...
In the corner of the warehouse, a shadow appeared and its body became hazy and swayed like a leaf.
The figure of Madara became visible. He coldly looked on the scene and with a poof of smoke, he disappeared as if he was never there.
***
Madara was sitting on the rooftop of Ryu's house and was silently staring at the moon. He found it calm and peaceful to do so.
Soon some memories appeared in his mind.
"So many and just in this town..."
Seems like they were hidden everywhere or was this city somewhat special?
That red-haired girl's attack was interesting, to say the least. It had more destructive properties than his greatest flame but the girl seemed to not be able to control it well.
He would've directly attacked them but he knew better than to do that without any information. In his homeworld, he had everything under the palm of his hands.
That's why everything went smoothly until Black Zetsu...
Had he not been in a weak state and Black Zetsu being immensely helpful he would've never trusted him.
This time he needed no one, he himself was enough. For now, he would gather information.
This world was quite diverse.
'Seems like the academy these kids go to have a lot of these "Devils".' Since they were wearing the same school uniform, he assumed so.
"I'll just pick one of them up from there and extract some useful data."

It was a sunny day in Kuoh and just another day for many students. They happily chatted with each other and the atmosphere settled down.
The Perverted trio wasn't doing anything today because Issei's mood was still a bit down from yesterday.
His friends Matsuda And Motohama tried cheering him up with porn magazines which was slowly working.
"Issei, It's boobs, Look at them in their full glory!"
"Imagine them in your hands, the softness, the girl slowly moaning due to you playing with her nipples."
They both whispered into his ears as he locked his eyes into the magazine, Soon he imagined himself doing all of that and he giggled with a perverted expression.
His friends gave each other a thumbs up.
"Now soldiers! Time to peep on the kendo club!" Matsuda said.
""Yes""
School ended like that and the students started leaving one by one. One of those students was Reya Kusaka. She was part of Sona's peerage and was a bishop.
She had long brown hair tied into twin braids and wore a blue headband.
She was a scout due to her abilities and sacred gear. Today she was out to do her usual scout duties but Sona for some reason had warned her to not stray away from Kuoh Academy.
She wondered what had happened though, Sona was in a bad mood since yesterday and seemed to be thinking about something.
'Should I get her a pastry or two?' She wondered as she searched the area. As she was looking around she noticed a weird shadow in one house. She planned to return and report this to Sona.
As a scout, she had one rule to follow, "If you find something weird immediately return and report to me." She followed this religiously because she knew her strength well.
But before she could she saw a pair of red spinning eyes and everything went black.
***
Madara placed her on the floor and drew a few isolation seals. He had tried to increase his strength in every way. He was a true genius.
So he mastered some basic seals and a few complex ones but unfortunately, that was his limit. He lacked the talent Uzumaki's had in seals.
He nonchalantly sat on the couch and dragged the girl to the table in front of him.
*Slap*
His hand brushed past her cheek but not without leaving a red mark. It woke up the sleeping devil.
She woke up in alarm and tried looking around, In front of her was a handsome man with long black hair and black eyes staring at her.
'I need to contact Sona!'
But she found herself unable to move. She found some weird images in her head. In one of them, she tried moving her hand but her head got cut off. In another her head was twisted, In another, her head was caved in, and in the last one, her head was half blown away.
She let out tears, 'Why my head!?'
She knew better than to move now.
"Ehm, Strong Sir why have you kidnapped me?" Her voice was pitiful and meek.
"I want information."
His tone was flat but it denied any kind of objection. She gulped in fear, She wondered how could someone have so much more of an authoritative tone than Sona.
Especially the fact that he could whenever just kill her off mercilessly, terrified her. Could he be the cause of Sona's bad mood?
"What kind of Information? I'm a scout so you can ask me!" For now, she needed to show her willingness to co-operate and her usefulness.
Madara nodded and started asking her all kinds of questions, The ones that stood out were questions about the Red-haired girl (Rias) and the girl with short hair and glasses (probably Sona).
She gloriously told him about the family backgrounds of both, hoping for him to get intimidated.
As she was rambling on he lifted a finger, "Reincarnated Devils? Do you mean you were human before?"
"Yes." There was no change in his expression or eyes but she could feel the temperature drop.
Gulping in fear again she hesitantly continued, "After a human dies they can be reincarnated into devils using chess pieces. Like me, I was reincarnated by the bishop piece so my magical power is better than the others."
Looking at her Madara gently smiled, "Tell me, When a human becomes a devil, can they willingly leave the 'peerage'? or revert back to human?"
His voice was hypnotic, momentarily confused she blurted out, "No."
Hearing this Madara's smile turned gentler...
