--Thursday | Jack's Pov--
It's been exactly 6 days since I got "Jackal" and my new summon ember. She's been interesting to deal with as she's very curious all the time. Sometimes after school I'd have to explain the things she took interest in, back at home. It was honestly adorable, but at other times it was... difficult?
She'd often get in front of me when I was sitting in a boring class and put her chest in my face. I couldn't feel it cause she was unsummoned at those times, but the fact that she did it, and multiple times mind you. Is kinda jarring.
I didn't hate it, but wish she wouldn't do that while I'm in class. More then once I'd gotten hard, sue me, flame atronachs are kinda hot, literally. And I'd have to deal with it until it went down again. Especially since she didn't look like a normal flame atronach, as while yes she did have the armor, everything else was different.
Ember's body was more voluptuous and filled out then a normal flame atronachs having at least a D bordering DD cup, with long flowing hair, and instead of the lower half of her face having the usual armor it was instead on her upper face revealing her lower face and that she had actual lips, and to top it all off, her flames weren't orange or red, they were blue and white, the majority being blue.
Other then her antics, I noticed someone watching me, Aika, and Issei. I knew it wasn't Koneko cause she already stopped, so I was suspecting Raynare now. Especially since once we all split up after school the presence would shift solely to Issei.
I was already suspecting canon was about to start, and knowing it happened on a sunday means I have three more days before it happens. And I am not letting my friend die, fuck that, and fuck cannon. When she appears I'll stop her, and I know Rias will probably be watching, but I don't care. At least I have an alibi for knowing the supernatural, but my strength will be hard to explain. So I plan to use "Jackal" since that wouldn't show my strength to anyone.
Tomorrow I get another spin and hopefully I get something good, I've gotten lucky the last few times. But enough about all that for the moment, it's not happening now so I'll worry later. Right now I am once again sitting in class listening to another boring class, meanwhile testing my telescopic visions range.
Where you may ask? The old abandoned church, or I guess not so abandoned anymore as I can clearly see Raynare, Dohnaseek, Mittlet, and Kalawarna. I obviously can't hear them, but they all are conversing right now.
Without being able to hear them I can't really get any information out of them, but I could already guess what they were talking about.
--Old abandoned church | No pov--
Inside the abandoned church were the figures of four people with black wings, two women, a child, and one man. The two women were Raynare and Kalawarna, the child was Mittlet who isn't actually a child but instead just short and petite, and the one man was Dohnaseek.
Raynare is an attractive young woman with violet eyes and a curvaceous body. She has long, silky black hair that reach down to her hips. Her attire consists of black, strap-like objects (resembling leather) around and under her breasts, a thong-like piece held around her hips by three thin straps, gloves that run right up her arms with small lengths of chains hanging from them, shoulder guard-like objects on her shoulders with three large spikes sprouting from her right shoulder, and black thigh-high heeled boots.
Kalawarna is a tall and buxom woman with brown eyes and long, navy blue hair that obscured her right eye. Her attire consists of a maroon, trenchcoat-like top with a wide collar, a matching miniskirt, and black heeled shoes. The trenchcoat top is opened at her chest, giving view to her breasts and cleavage. She also wears a gold necklace around her neck. She appears to wear a white shirt underneath her top, but it can only be seen from the bottom.
Mittelt is a girl with blonde hair, which is styled into twin-tails and blue eyes. She wears a Gothic Lolita attire, which consists of a black dress with white frills, a large black bow on the front, and a green jewel embedded on the collar, white thigh-high socks with suspender garters, a black set of frilly panties, and black shoes. She also wears a large black bow on top of her hair.
Dohnaseek is a middle-aged-looking man with short black hair and dark blue eyes. His attire consists of a pale gray trench coat over a white dress shirt with a matching ascot, black pants and shoes, a pair of black gloves, and a black fedora.
The three fallen were currently discussing their plans. "Asia is currently being convinced by that maniac freed to come here, so we need to keep a low profile so the devils here don't suspect anything." Raynare was informing her three subordinates, with Kalawarna speaking up next "But didn't you say you were planning to trick and kill that Hyoudou kid? Not very low profile to me."
Raynare knew Kalawarna had a point, but she didn't care as she already made her mind. "Yes I did, and I still plan to kill him. I sensed a sacred gear from him and it's better to eliminate such a threat before it becomes one." Kalawarna shrugged and didn't argue further seeing as Raynare made her mind.
"Now the meeting is over, we'll regroup in two more days, before sunday where I'll kill that kid." Dohnaseek, Mittlet, and Kalawarna nodded and left, with Raynare leaving shortly afterwards. Leaving the church now empty.
--Jack's pov--
I watch as they leave and decide to return to my usual vision, seeing class had just ended I pack up my stuff and stand up. My first destination was the shopping mall, why you may? If I was going to introduce myself, I was going to do it right, so obviously I need some badass clothing.
So making my way quickly to the mall I enter and search around for just the right clothing store, it took a bit of looking around but I did eventually find what I was looking for. A store that had trench coats, pants, belts, and all sorts of other goodies.
I was originally thinking of mimicking Alucard, but his attire didn't quite suit my style. So I decided on something that did fit my style.
A long trench coat made from smooth leather, the design features a two-tone color scheme, mainly black with deep purple panels along the shoulders, sleeves, lapels, and side sections. It has a structured, double-breasted front with large, evenly spaced buttons and wide, angular lapels. The shoulders are slightly pronounced. A wide matching belt with a rectangular buckle cinches at the waist. And the sleeves include strap details at the cuffs, and the coat extends to about knee length with a slight flare toward the hem.
A pair of black, high-waisted leather pants. The pants have a slim, tapered fit and feature multiple silver-tone metal details. Around the lower legs and knees, there are several horizontal straps with buckles and D-rings, creating a harness-like aesthetic. And the leather has a smooth, slightly glossy finish, making them shine.
A pair of leather gloves which have a slightly glossy finish and appear to be insulated. Each glove features a wide wrist cuff with an adjustable strap and a snap button closure. There are visible stitched seam lines on the back of the hand, and the fingers are rounded and padded.
A pair of black, mid-calf combat boots. They appear to be made from a combination of smooth leather and durable fabric panels. The boot has a lace-up front with metal eyelets and hooks, allowing for a secure and adjustable fit. It features a thick, sturdy rubber sole with a deep tread pattern, and the toe area looks reinforced.
After picking out my new outfit I took it to the counter and payed for it, which costed a lot of money mind you, but it'd all be worth it. I quickly made my way home and hung up my new attire for this sunday. While others are getting dressed for church or work, I'll be getting dressed for a funeral~
I grin to myself and slowly start laughing. I don't know why but recently I've been in a better mood, or something similar. I'm laughing more, smiling or grinning constantly, even Koneko, Kiba, Aika, and Issei have taken notice. They asked me about it but I couldn't really explain it.
Maybe I'm losing my mind. But the mere thought of that honestly made my grin wider, so I'm starting to believe it. Ember seemed worried about me at first, but over time she seemed to accept it as me being me.
--Friday--
It's now the next day and it's time for another spin. Once again I hope for something good to come my way.
[Welcome to the roulette. This weeks prizes are: +2 spins; Wolf blood; Rank (A) skill book; x20 Dragon scales; 100,000 yen; Steel sword; +20 to all stats; Quirk: Blueflame(A); 1,000,000 yen.]
All of these options are pretty good, except for the steel sword cause come on, it's just a steel sword and nothing more. Spin time~
[Spinning...]
[Spinning...]
[Spinning...]
[User has won [Quirk: Blueflame]!]
Oh? That's pretty cool. If I remember correctly wasn't that Dabi's quirk? I wonder if it's dangerous to me too...
[Quirk: Bluflame(A): Blueflames originating from Dabi in the MHA universe. This skill allows the user to generate and control highly volatile blue fire that incinerates anything it touches almost instantly upon contact. This skills power scales to the users INT stat, and resistance to fire scales with END stat. Current resistance: 89%.]
Very nice. Later on if I get to see that fried chicken of a phenex I'll show him what true fire looks like. I start chuckling and stand up to get dressed for school and quickly make my way down there. Approaching the gate I see issei, his two friends, and Yuma Amano, or the disguised Raynare.
I run straight for issei and jump placing my hands on his shoulders while flipping myself and launch myself ahead while yelling back "KEEP UP ISSEI!" I started laughing crazily as I heard Issei cursing at me and hear him chasing behind me leaving his two friends and Raynare behind.
--Timeskip--
It's now the end of school and like usual me, Aika, and Issei split up outside the school building. This time I'm heading to the ORC clubroom to have a "chat" with Rias about the abnormally large flock of "crows" in town.
Instead of using the door I simply leap through the window and that gets everyone staring at me as I crouch on the windowsill, for once no grin or smile on my face. "Rias we have a little chat to do." My tone was icy and dangerous as I said this.
Rias picked up on the subtle edge to my tone. "Very well. What is it that we need to talk about?" She was curious as so far nothing would lead to me being angry or displeased. And I didn't stall to give her a reply.
"I've sensed someone spying on me and my friends. You wouldn't happen to know who, would you." It was more of a statement then a question with the tone I used. Rias sighed and rubbed her head before responding "Yes, I do know who it is."
She motioned me in and I obliged, stepping into the room and staring her down. Rias looked up at me and continued "There have been these fallen angels that entered my territory not long back. I've known since the beginning they were there, but I don't want to act rashly."
Rias stared me in the eyes and continued "While yes they are in my territory, I don't want to needlessly kill them just for that. However if they act out, that would change very quickly. Trust me."
I stared at her for a good minute before nodding, I can tell she isn't lying to me, my eyes wouldn't allow such things to get by without notice. "Very well. See to it if they act out their punished severely." I leapt back out the window and made my way home.
Now I'd just wait for Sunday and do the job myself. I already knew what was about to happen and I wasn't about to let it go that far. Issei's my friend and I won't let my friend die.
--Sunday--
It's now Sunday and I've already made preparations. When she's preparing to throw her light spear I'll shoot her with Jackal and stop her. Afterwards it depends on how many shots I need to fire to kill her.
I even worked on two new skills on Saturday just for today. It'll make following them much easier.
[Stealth(C): Decreases detectability by 50% and increases movement speed when unseen by anyone by 25%.]
[Invis-Barrier(B): Surround the host in a mana barrier that doesn't leak or give off a signature. This barrier refracts light so that anything inside is see through along with the barrier. Conceals mana and presence.]
These two skills are going to be crucial for this. So I quickly don my new attire and cast Invis-barrier around myself before stepping out. Ember was following right behind me as I made my way to the park. It wasn't long after that both Issei and Raynare arrived and started their "date".
Following them was pretty boring, but I will admit that Raynare was a damn good actress with how she reacted to everything. If I didn't know she was a fallen angel and here to kill issei I'd have suspected she was a normal girl in love.
But it was not to be as near the end of the date at sunset they arrived back at the fountain. Raynare skipped ahead of Issei and started the final part to her plan. Honestly that whole scene the first time I watched the anime was crazy to watch, and dark too. She played with Issei's feelings and ended up probably traumatizing him with this experience for a while.
But it was time for me too shine, Raynare had just taken her true form and Issei was on the ground backing away. Time to show these supernatural beings there's a new player in these parts~
--Pov none--
Issei was on the ground quaking and slowly moving back as Raynare float above him with a light spear in her hand "You know I enjoyed our little date Issei, even giving me this little gift. I'll make sure to treasure it. Now would you die for me!" Raynare pulled her arm back and was about to throw the spear, all while Issei was frozen in fear.
Bang!
Raynare gasped as one of her left wing was practically blown apart, causing her to fall to the ground. She slowly stood up and winced at her destroyed wing, now furious and looking for the culprit who shimmered into existence with some flaming woman behind him.
The man wore a purple leather trench coat, black leather pants, black leather gloves, and combat boots. The man was carrying an odd pistol with him that had the engraving "Jesus Christ is in heaven now" on it in gold. But it was the one eye staring at her that unnerved her the greatest.
A singular eye peeking out behind bandages, a cog wheel surrounding the middle of the eye, with the sclera replaced by what looked like endless cogs and gears rotating endlessly. And in the center of his eye, in the middle of the large cog wheel was what looked like molten shimmering bronze and a small black circle in the very center.
That eye unnerved her to no end as it felt like he was staring into her soul, laying her entire life out for him to judge. She didn't like that feeling, not one bit. "W-Who are y-you" Raynare stuttered her question out, sounding less menacing then before and now frightened like a small kitten.
The man, we know as Jack, simply grinned a manic smile with his teeth on full display. Each one razor sharp with the canines unusually long. He responded a second later with "I am Cogwheel. Nice to meet you~" He chuckled at the end of his sentence.
Raynare didn't know what this man found funny, and she doubted his name was actually Cogwheel. She felt mocked at the fact this man didn't see the need to give her his name, so she formed a light spear in her hand and yelled "Don't you mock me!" She tossed the spear and Jack did nothing to stop it.
Before it could hit him however, Ember grabbed the spear and crushed it in her hands. Raynare was now lost as this creature that seemed to be with Jack just crushed her attack like it was nothing. What's worse is Jack was now aiming the gun at her "Now now, let's not be so hasty little crow. Mind telling me what your doing here? Or perhaps why your in devil territory?"
Raynare was cursing on the inside that her flawless plan was now failing due to this unusually powerful human. She grit her teeth and said "I was sent here to monitor sacred gear candidates." Jack laughed at that "And I suppose that means killing them too? Or let me guess, you going rogue perhaps little crow?"
Raynare was now frightened even worse as he hit the nail on the head. But before she could think of a way out Jack offered an ultimatum "I'll give you two options. We can either do this the easy way-" Jack put his finger on the trigger "Or the hard way-" Ember glowed brighter at Jack's words. "The choice is yours~" He grinned sadistically at the end, with Raynare now terrified.
Out of terror she immediately threw a light spear and tried to fly away, tried being the keyword here. "Oh I see you choosing the hard way then!" Jack aimed and shot her other wing making her scream and fall back to the ground. The echo of Jack's boots were loud in Raynare's ears as Jack stopped in front of her. She lifted her head and was met with the barrel of "Jackal" at her forehead.
Jack smirked and recited a verse he got from the bible just this day in preparation for this moment. "Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." Jack pulled the trigger and Raynare's head was no more. Her remains then burst into dark feathers. Jack took her feathers and put them in his inventory, he had an idea for later.
He turned to see Issei passed out from shock, and Rias's flyer glowing. It's about time he reintroduces himself after finding out just what type of person he is. He's kind, friendly, fun. But he's also ruthless, heartless, and a killer. He is Jack Wheeler. He is a Vampire.
