Azazel just grinned in amusement.
"You remind me of a disrespectful brat that I had the unfortunate pleasure to meet once upon a time. Ah well...I doubt you could stop me even if you tried to hero-chan. So why not let me pass by without any trouble eh?" Azazel spoke with a sly smirk on his face.
Yuki's only response was the activation of her Sacred Gear.
That only elicited the raise of a single eyebrow from Azazel.
"True Sight? Man it's been a while since I've seen that one...but..." the fallen said with mocking smile.
"You do know about the many weaknesses of that Sacred Gear right? Because I sure as hell do. I fought against one of them during the Great War after all." the elderly man finished with a small grin.
The hero didn't respond, instead she bent her legs in preparation to fight.
Azazel just sighed.
He forgot how ridiculously hardcore heroes could be. Well he knew how to handle this.
"Alright alright...look, if I put my hands behind my head while you stay behind me and hold your sword at the back of my neck...will you let me go down there and talk to Naruto?" Azazel asked with an easy-going smile, hoping that the young hero would allow this at the very least.
Besides she was no threat to him, if she released killing intent for even a fraction of a second...he would be ready.
That and he was too lazy to fight right now. Really, the world was too cruel to pacifists.
Yuki looked at him suspiciously, but quickly decided that the compromise was acceptable. The simple fact that he knew Naruto's name at all seemed to indicate that he had some relation with her friend.
That, and she was moderately sure that she could kill him if he tried anything funny.
Suffice it to say, she had no idea who she was talking to right now.
"Very well, but no funny business fallen angel-san." Yuki said seriously, before tilting her head and allowing him to pass.
Azazel just scoffed.
She was very much like that old bastard.
Present...
"...and that's how I have been captured against my will." Azazel finished his small story dramatically.
Everyone who wasn't a fallen angel just deadpanned at him.
The fallen were still mostly wary, they were still on the proverbial chopping block for this man after all. No luxury for humor when they could be facing punishment.
Naruto just sighed.
He could be forgiven for being shocked when he saw Azazel being led to the underground cavern at sword-point by Yuki. Essentially...Yuki was manhandling the leader of the fallen angel faction.
Whoever was the leader of the Hero tribe would undoubtedly be proud despite the strange circumstances.
Yuki by this point, had moved around Azazel and to Naruto's side when she realized who she was threatening exactly. To say that she was nervous was a bit of an understatement.
This nervousness increased slightly when the fallen leader spread all six-pairs of his wings and his playful expression dropped.
He turned to the remaining fallen that were still awake and addressed them. "Well...what should I do with you lot hmm?" the fallen leader asked rhetorically, with an annoyed glare at them. This in turn just caused the traitorous fallen to gaze at the floor as if they were being reprimanded by their parent rather than their leader.
Azazel just sighed.
Then he gave Raynare a sly smile.
"Well...I think you should be thankful to your former guardians Raynare. If it wasn't for them, then I would have probably placed you under house arrest until further notice." the older man spoke with humor laced in his tone, and to the relief of most of the fallen angels.
But much to the confusion of one of them.
"What are you talking about...? Kalawarner-nee, what is he talking about? Mittelt-chan? Dohnaseek-sensei?" Raynare asked hesitantly, not sure if she really wanted to know.
The three fallen in question looked at each other hesitantly before looking at Azazel in confirmation.
Said fallen angel just shrugged his shoulders in indifference. "Shit already went down. What information leaks out later is of no concern as long as it doesn't enter the ears of anyone...unsavory." he spoke while picking his nose.
Kalawarner just sighed and looked to Dohnaseek for support.
Dohnaseek just pushed his fedora down to cover his face.
She then turned to Mittelt for back-up.
Mittelt found the ceiling really interesting at that exact moment.
"...Thanks for the support you two..." Kalawarner spoke with sarcasm, then she turned to face the inquisitive stare of her former ward.
"Raynare-sama...please understand that what we did...we did because we wanted to make sure that you were safe. We knew that if Vretiel-sama's plan was discovered...that your future would be ruined irrevocably so...we..." Kalawarner tried to explain, but her nervousness was preventing her from spilling it out.
"What did you do guys do?" Raynare asked quietly, feeling a rising dread fill her up. "What did you all do?"
The three humans that were still conscious were looking at one another uneasily, unsure of what to make of the drama occurring right in front of them.
Naruto especially, he was just expecting to wrap things up by making sure Azazel was gracious in his victory. He didn't really expect for...well...this to happen today.
Kalawarner just kept stumbling over her words until Azazel sighed dramatically and walked up to the group. "Your former guardians actively gave me information about your mother's plans as well as any other useful information." Azazel drawled out to Raynare.
The room was silent for a moment at the wake of this revelation.
