She was too tired to think straight. XD
Onto the next chapter!
**********************
Chapter 3
Mittelt was walking out of the school and waving to the children, smiling while mentally she was seething. 'Ugh, why do I have to go to class anyway? It's so boring!'
As she walked off of school grounds, she mentally sighed as the crowds started to disperse. 'Finally!' Now she could go home, relax and forget about everything.
Or at least, that was the plan when someone tapped her on the shoulder and she spun to see Ranma grinning at her. "...What?"
He tapped her on the nose. "You're it."
"Huh?!" She yelled as he took off. "HEY! GET BACK HERE!" She screamed and took off after him on foot. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!"
"CATCH ME AND FIND OUT!" Ranma called back, mentally smirking as she grinned and put on the speed to try and catch up to him.
The chase went all over town, up trees, behind garbage cans, up telephone poles, across rooftops and into alley ways. When Mittelt saw Ranma stopped and kneeling in front of something, she landed on the ground, panting hard. "Where... Did you... Get..." She spun around before falling on her butt, groaning. "How can you run like that?"
"Training since before I could walk." Ranma nonchalantly replied. "Anyway..." He narrowed his eyes at the charred object and touched it, jumping back as it groaned and stood up. "Is that you, old lech?"
"No respect." Happosai groaned and fell over onto his back. "Ranma..." He teared up as he looked at the boy. "The panties... They betrayed me."
Ranma and Mittelt both gave him a disgusted look and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Happosai coughed and stood up. "Listen! There's a dangerous Devil running around and trying to kill little girls with sweets!"
"Huh?!" Ranma and Mittelt looked at Happosai in confusion.
"I was just doing my daily runs, getting to know the city more, when I came across an open apartment. I heard a little girl crying out in pain and, as a true gentleman, I walked in to see if I could help and there was this little white haired cutie that looked like she was about to give birth, so naturally I helped her out and it turns out that it... Ooooh, dizzy." Happosai fell down and shook his head. "There was some sort of Devil that was using the cute little girl's body as a host and would have killed her if she didn't throw up right then and there."
"Mittelt, do you..."
"No! That sounds sick and wrong. I think even other Devils would be grossed out by such a thing!" The Fallen Angel cupped her chin. "Any idea where it is now?" Happosai shook his head.
"No! And then, and then... The panties betrayed me!"
"Great, so what do we do?" Mittelt asked Ranma. "I don't think I could just fly around and call it out or... EEEK!" She jumped as she felt a hand grabbing her ass. Spinning around, she glared at Lilith, who had half her body in the alley and the other half in the wall. "Dammit, whore! Don't do that!"
"You totally loved that, you slut." Lilith giggled before sobering up and saluting as she pulled herself out of the shadows on the wall. "You needed me, Master?"
"Yeah." Ranma picked up Happosai and held him in front of Lilith. "See if you can find out about the Devil he ran into earlier today."
"...You want me to look through HIS head?! EWW!" Lilith held her hands up and pushed away. "Nah uh! No way!"
"Lilith."
"Look, Master, I love you, but I have to have some standards."
"When do whores have standards?" Mittelt muttered from behind Lilith and pushed her forward. "Just get it over with, there was some sort of Devil that he fought and we need information on it."
"Ewww!" Seeing Ranma's look, she sighed heavily. "I'll do this on one condition!"
"What?" Ranma asked and blinked as Lilith jerked her thumb over her shoulder. "What about Mittelt?"
"You're training her to be your butt slut after this."
"HEY!" Mittelt yelled, her eyes white, blank and angry as she glared fire at Lilith.
"Either you do that or I don't look."
"Fine!" Ranma snapped, causing Mittelt to give him a betrayed look. "We'll talk about it later, just get to looking."
"Fine! But if I find something I hate in there, I'm sharing with you tonight!" Lilith grumbled and put her hand on Happosai's head. "Listen, could you just focus on the Devil so I don't have to see anything else?"
Happosai nodded and Lilith grimaced as she did a mental dive into Happosai's mind to find out what happened.
Two minutes later, Lilith pulled her hand off of Happosai and shivered. "There are levels of depravity that no one should be able to obtain. You're so far beyond that that I'm actually impressed!"
"So..?"
"Yeah, I saw it. Happosai was at Koneko's apartment. On the flip side, I can safely say that if there was a puking competition that Koneko would win every one from here until the end of time."
"Did you..."
"Yeah, yeah," Lilith grimaced as she went over the memory. "Some sort of black crystal and a puppet body. Not that it does me any good, I can't smell things in memories, so what should I do?"
"You know what the crystal is and what the Devil looks like, right?"
"Yeah, but I don't..."
"YOU don't, but you can give that information to Nabiki, can't you?" Ranma smirked as Lilith's eyes lit up. "Just go give it to her and find out where the Devil is." Standing up, he dropped Happosai onto the ground. "Can you make it back?"
"Yeah, I'm fine now."
"Good. Now where's Nuku?"
"She said she was going home." Lilith responded.
"Alright, you head to Nerima, we'll get back to base and meet up with her there and then wait for information from Nabiki."
"Okay." Lilith jumped into the shadows, disappearing as the other three quickly vacated the alley.
(---)
Sighing as she entered her room, Nabiki closed the door and flopped onto her bed, groaning. Today was just the worst! Kuno wouldn't stop reciting tales of how he had won over the foul Demon Saotome, the Hentai Horde, as Akane called them, had doubled in size now that Ranma was gone and were trying even harder to beat Akane and at their current rate they might just succeed even! "I guess I'll ask Shampoo to train Akane, because that's just disturbing."
To make matters even worse, she was actually missing Ranma around and the silliness he brought forward. She hadn't heard a scream of...
"PERVERT!"
"Yeah that!" Nabiki nodded, sighing and smiling. It had been a long time since she heard that.
"PERVERT!"
Nabiki blinked, sat up and walked to her room door. "What the?" She asked as she left her room and went downstairs. "What's going..." She stared at who was in the dining room.
"Ah, Nabiki." Kasumi smiled at her younger sister. "Lilith came to visit."
"THERE YOU ARE!" Lilith yelled and dramatically pointed. "I need to talk."
"AND YOU SHOWED UP IN THE BATHROOM WHEN I WAS ON THE TOILET?!" Akane screamed, her face red.
Lilith coughed heavily. "Believe it or not, I didn't want to, when I warp longer distances I can't always accurate land where I want to."
"Whatever, you pervert." Akane huffed and walked off.
"So, what did you need to talk about?" Nabiki asked and sighed when Lilith told her to go to her room. "Fine, fine."
When they got into Nabiki's room, Lilith closed the door behind her and sighed.
Nabiki turned around and looked at the shorter succubus. "So what did you WOAH!" She yelled as Lilith pounced on her and tackled her to the bed. "What are mmmph!" Her eyes widened as Lilith suddenly started making out with her, not only kissing her but fondling her chest and rubbing her leg between Nabiki's legs.
That lasted for nearly a minute before Lilith broke the kiss and sighed. "Thanks, after what I did earlier, I needed that." She put her head on Nabiki's chest and smiled. "Mmm! Breast pillows, so comfy."
"Um... You didn't come here for this, did you?"
"Maybe? Master won't let me use his boobies when he's in girl form like this." When Nabiki complained, she pouted. "Please? Just let me rest like this? Warping that long actually wore me out, and I gotta do it again, plus I had to do a mind dive and then I have to give you the information, so I'm a little exhausted, okay?"
Nabiki sighed and rubbed Lilith's head. "You want me to take off my shirt or something?"
"You can, but I'm good like this too." Lilith sighed and snuggled against Nabiki's chest. "Ten minutes, okay?"
The next thing Nabiki knew she had a sleeping succubus using her boobs as a pillow. "Alright, fine, ten minutes."
Twenty minutes later, Nabiki finally jostled Lilith enough to get her up. "Finally, my everything's fallen asleep."
Yawning, Lilith grinned and looked up at Nabiki. "Thanks, I feel much better." Getting off of Nabiki, who was moving slowly after her. "Anyway, Master needs you to look for something."
"Hasn't he heard of the internet?" Nabiki groused before sighing. "I'm guessing that it's something that can't be found easily?"
"Yeah, now hold still." Lilith put her hands on Nabiki's forehead. "Close your eyes, I'll send you the memories of what Master needs you to find."
"Okay, got it." Nabiki muttered as she opened her eyes, which were glowing blue. "Looks like the Devil you're looking for is at some sort of abandoned bakery and... Oh dear."
"What?"
"It's cloning itself."
"... In a bad way, or a kinky--Master now has Tentacles--way?"
"We are Legion sort of way."
"...Oh crap."
(---)
Ranma was pacing back and forth as Nuku and Mittelt watched in amusement. "She should have been back by now."
"She's probably tired. Long-range teleportation magic is pretty draining." Mittelt offered, getting a sigh from Ranma.
Before Ranma could respond, there was a flash of darkness and Lilith appeared in front of them, looking exhausted. "Ugh, this sucks. We have a problem."
"Problem how?" When Lilith explained to him, he grimaced. "Well, fuck. We need to..." The next thing he knew, Lilith was tackling him to the floor and working on undoing his pants. "Hey! What are you..."
"I'm tired, hungry and low on energy! I'm sucking you off." She glared at him as she freed his penis and started rubbing it. "Just a quick blowjob, okay?"
"Right now?" Ranma asked, groaning as Lilith instantly lowered her head and started licking and sucking on his penis. "Dammit, nnngh. Lilith."
"I really shouldn't watch this." Mittelt muttered, unable to tear her eyes away.
Next to her, Nuku watched with great interest, making sure to take mental notes on what Lilith was doing. She tilted her head as Lilith reached down to cup and massage Ranma's balls, causing him to gasp while she opened her mouth and took his whole length into her mouth and down her throat while bobbing her head up and down.
"Sheesh, Lilith..." Ranma groaned, not trying to fight the sensations. "Fuck..." He grunted, feeling a familiar tingling sensation building up in him. He could normally keep from cumming too fast, but since she was wanting his cum quickly and was sucking REALLY hard it was hard to ignore.
Both Mittelt and Nuku's faces were flushed as Ranma groaned and bucked his hips into Lilith's mouth, twitching as he obviously came in her. Mittelt shivered as she watched Lilith swallow what seemed like a copious amount of cum before bobbing her head up and down on his penis again. "HEY! Aren't we in a hurry?"
"PAH!" Lilith pulled her head off of Ranma's fully erect penis with a smile. "Much better! And I was sucking the rest out of his shaft. A good cock-sucker makes sure that the penis is cleared out so that there's no mess when he puts his pants back on."
"That's fine, can you pull your pants up now? That's distracting and we have something we need to deal with." Mittelt turned away, blushing hard. The last thing she wanted to see was Ranma's shaft, because she'd start thinking about it being used on her and then she'd... "GAH!"
"Yeah." Ranma nodded as he did just that, adjusting so that his dick wouldn't hurt. "Let's get going."
(---)
Ten minutes later, the four of them touched down near an abandoned bakery and Mittelt looked around. "So why didn't we fly here?"
"No need to reveal that we're Devils just yet." Ranma replied. "You could have flown, you still have your Fallen Angel wings you know?"
Hearing Mittelt start swearing, Lilith giggled before sobering up. "I can feel it. Lots of them in there."
"Probably going to need some help." Ranma muttered and reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a cell phone.
"Who are you calling?" Nuku asked as Ranma held up a finger.
"Ah, Rias Gremory? This is Ranma, don't ask how I got your number. Anyway, are you and your group anywhere near the old bakery down on Baskerville Street? Because if you don't get down here now, the city will be over-run by a Devil in a chef's hat that likes to make sweets."
"How did you get her number?" Lilith asked as Ranma flipped his phone closed and put it away.
"Stole Issei's phone when he wasn't looking and put Rias's number in my contacts."
"... Did you return it?" Lilith asked.
"Of course," Ranma replied.
"And what else was on it?"
"Wa~ay too much porn," Ranma said. "Not even any good ones either. Just mainly images with one person, all in the same position."
It was two minutes later when Rias, Akeno, Kiba, Koneko, Issei and Asia ran up to the gate where Ranma, Lilith, Nuku and Mittelt were at. "Hey." Ranma waved at them.
"So why are you here? You're not Devils, are you?" Issei asked, obviously confused.
"Does it matter?" Lilith asked. "We got a Chef Burrodee in there making clones of itself and we got here first."
"No point in arguing over this," Rias tried to calm everyone down and looked at Mittelt and Nuku, "is it okay to involve them?"
"I'm only here because I was ordered to be here." Mittelt pointed at Rias. "Just don't shoot me in the back and there won't be a problem." She sighed when Rias blinked in confusion and did a pirouette, revealing black feathery wings.
"A Fallen Angel?!" Issei, Akeno and Rias all hissed and Mittelt ducked behind Nuku.
"Relax, she works for me." Ranma held his hand up. "There's reasons for it, but she won't attack any of you." He looked over his shoulder and she nodded.
"R, right! I promise! No backstabbing anyone! We have a bigger enemy to fry."
Rias gave her a dirty look before taking a deep breath. "You're right, and very well, so long as she keeps herself in check, I suppose I won't try to kill her."
"She will." Ranma nodded.
"What about Atsuko?" Asia asked. She didn't see how the taller girl could possibly help out.
"Don't worry, she's fine." Ranma waved off the blonde girl's concerns before looking up. "And we're out of time."
Standing on top of the bakery, the Sweets Devil was looking at them with its arms crossed. "Greetings! Greetings! Oh, my former host! You're up and moving, huh?"
Koneko growled and squeezed her hands into fists. "Yeah, and this time you're going down!"
"Oh dear! But I think you need to stay for my opening act!" The Devil flung its arms out wide and everyone stared as the sky turned yellow and pies seemingly came out of the sky, causing ripples in the air. "PIES OF BABYLON!" The Devil snapped a finger. "Have a free sample!" One pie flew at the group and they all jumped away as it hit the ground, exploding violently.
"Well..." Akeno muttered as she saw the crater that had been made. "That's absolutely terrifying."
"And I have plenty more!" The Devil laughed and held its left arm up before lazily dropping it down, causing the pies to launch out, one after the other.
"Kiba!"
"On it!" The blond pulled out a flaming sword and rushed at the Devil.
"Naughty naughty!" The Devil waggled its finger and Kiba stumbled as the ground itself turned into bubbling hot chocolate and he sank into it up to his shoulders. "I've had all day to set this up! There's no way you're going to beat me that easily, now why don't you just... Blow up?"
Kiba watched as the pies came rushing at his face. "SHIT!"
Several bolts of lightning crashed over the pies, causing them to explode.
Up in the air, Akeno, now dressed in Miko robes, looked on with her eyes narrowed. "None of that, try that again and I'll introduce you to levels of pain that even the most extreme masochist couldn't handle."
"Fine." The Devil pointed a finger at Akeno and dozens of exploding pies went flying at the Miko, who took off into the air. "I've got plenty where that came fro, OOOMPH!" Its body was rocked to the side as an emerald green energy blast hit it in the head, causing it to loose its balance and fall onto its head. "Oww! Who did that?"
"Nuku, get him out of there!" Ranma yelled from his position on top of a nearby roof before launching himself at the Devil.
"Right!" Nuku jumped down, grabbed a nearby chain link fence and ripped it out of the ground and threw it across the hot chocolate. "HERE!"
"Thanks!" Kiba grabbed on and was about to pull himself out when Nuku did it for him, pulling the fence up and launching the blond boy into the air. Extending his wings, Kiba shook his head in amazement, he was used to seeing Koneko doing that, not others.
"Kiba!" Issei called out as he saw a pie flying towards Kiba from behind.
Turning in slow motion, Kiba saw it too late and mentally braced for an explosion that would hurt when a pink spear pierced the pie and caused it to explode early.
"Seriously!" Mittelt groused as she formed another spear of Light, "pay more attention. You!" She pointed at Issei with her spear. "Why aren't you doing anything?"
"BOOST!"
"It takes a bit to get going." Issei muttered as he looked at his gauntlet. "And I can't hold too many charges."
Meanwhile Ranma had to stop his charge in mid air as he flipped and pushed off what looked to be an invisible wall so that he could land on the street. "The hell?" He stared as a giant chocolate rabbit came out of the hot chocolate soup. "Figures."
"What did you do?" Koneko asked him.
"It's a trick I learned from some Devil Hunters who specialized in making barriers, not as useful as flying, but in a pitched fight you can make footholds to use like you're standing on the ground."
"Enough of this." Rias threw her hands out and red and black energy blasted the chocolate rabbits, destroying them instantly.
The next thing she knew a pie slammed into her stomach, exploding and sending her flying into the street below.
"RIAS!" Her peerage called out, clearly worried about her.
"Asia!"
"Right!" The blonde ran to where Rias had been last seen.
"Now that the annoying one is, oh man!" The Devil jumped back as powerful blasts of lightning struck down where it was a moment ago. "Oh come on, what's a little..."
Kiba was there a moment later, screaming as his sword cut the Devil in half, causing the pies to disappear completely.
There was a clapping sound and everyone turned and paled as dozens upon dozens of identical Sweets Devils came out of the shadows.
"Impressive teamwork. However, if you had trouble with one Pies of Babylon..." Suddenly the sky lit up as if it were on fire. "How will you handle this many?"
"Oh poopie." Lilith summed it up for everyone.
"Indeed!" All of the Sweets Devils said at the same time as the pies started launching in all directions.
"Okay, anyone got a plan?!" Issei yelled as he dodged an exploding pie.
"BOOST!"
"Yeah, I need to..." Issei trailed off as he realized there were some not far from where Asia and Rias were. "Oh no!"
"Go take care of them then!" Ranma yelled as he fired several Youki blasts at the pies. "Protect your friends and trust us to get out of this!"
"Right!"
Akeno glared as she sent several lightning blasts to try and defend against the pies, causing the sky to light up with explosions.
"Heads up." Was her only warning as a spear of light went past her face and struck one of the Sweets Devils in the chest, causing it to scream out and spasm before turning to dust.
"Hey! Watch it!" Akeno shot back and growled as Mittelt ignored her and threw another spear at another Sweets Devil. "Give me more of a warning!" She snapped her fingers and lightning crashed down on the spear, more out of annoyance at being nearly clipped by it than anything else.
When the spear stopped in mid-air and started to spin, sending powerful lightning bolts in all directions for several moments before the spear shattered into particles of energy. Both Akeno and Mittelt stared for a moment, before they started to grin.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Akeno's grin was shark-like as she threw her arms out to the side and electricity started to form around her.
"I think so, but can the enemies keep up with us?" Mittelt had a similar grin on her face as she formed another spear and threw it up and towards the Sweets Devils, only to laugh as Akeno dropped lightning on it and both the pies and the Sweets Devils started getting pelted with lightning.
"Oh my! This is so hot." Akeno giggled as she kept up the assault. "Who knew it could be used like this?"
"Well," the Sweets Devils started to focus their attention on Akeno and Mittelt, "flying annoyances need to be dealt with first."
Akeno just smirked as pies flew at them from behind before turning into slices and exploding harmlessly in the air.
Landing on the ground, Kiba shook the custard off of his sword and looked up. "I don't think so."
On the other side of the lot, Koneko, Nuku and Lilith were facing off against more than a dozen Sweets Devils themselves.
"I have an idea." Nuku looked at Koneko and held her hand out. "Know what a fastball special is?"
Koneko nodded and jumped on the taller girl's hand. "I usually do it to others though."
Nuku grinned as she spun and prepared to throw Koneko like a baseball. "Fire on."
Koneko didn't have time to wonder what was going on when Nuku's arm was covered in fire, and then her whole body was. "...I'm on fire."
"You hurting?"
"No."
"Then you're fine!" Nuku yelled and threw the flaming loli at the Sweets Devils. Looking at her arm, she wondered why the fire was gone before shrugging it off. 'Must have sent everything to that other girl.' Nuku realized that she never got the girl's name yet.
As she flew through the air, Koneko crossed her arms over her face as several pies came flying at her. 'This might hurt.' When the pies exploded harmlessly against the aura that was surrounding her, she had a small grin cross her face. "Payback time." Doing a few flips in the air, she did a dive kick into the gut of one of the Sweets Devils, destroying it and spinning around to punch another one in the face before grabbing a third one by its throat and slamming it into the sidewalk.
Standing up, her body still wreathed in flames, her eyes started to glow. "Who's next?"
Frowning as his phone rang, Ranma jumped into the alley and looked at it. "Nabiki?" Opening the phone, he answered it. "This better be important, we got a situation."
"Shut up, I know. You're fighting puppets, the real one's inside and he's already laughing because he's making more of those things, he's going to wear you all out and then kill you."
"Lovely, alright, got it." Ranma hung up the phone and ran out of the alley towards the bakery. "I'm going after the real one, you guys keep the clones busy!"
"Right!" The others nodded.
In the air, a Sweets Devil flew over the battlefield and pointed at Ranma. "Too bad I shall not allow you..."
"BOOST! TRANSFER!"
"Huh?" The Sweets Devil turned to see a pie flying right at it. "...Oh the irony." A moment later, the pie splattered it in the face and exploded as though it was an anti-matter bomb.
When Mittelt threw another spear in the general direction of the Sweets Devils, she didn't expect it to be in the middle of a black and red circle. "Um..."
When lightning crashed down on it and covered an even larger area than before, wiping out over three dozen Sweets Devils in an instant, she spun to see Rias standing there, her school outfit in tatters, her face dirtied and a VERY angry look on her face.
"You know, I can forgive trying to kill me, I'm trying to kill you as well, but you tried to kill my Servants," a scary red and black aura formed around Rias, "and that is something I won't EVER forgive!"
Kiba smiled as he saw Issei, holding a pie, and Asia, holding a pie in each hand, walk back onto the battlefield. "Good to see you made it, but how are you...?"
"BOOST!"
"Simple!" Issei grinned as he threw a pie at one of the Devils and grinned as it countered with another pie, creating an explosion more than four times as powerful as before and nearly knocking everyone off their feet. "The pies only explode if you break the top. The pie pans won't explode!"
"CURSES! HOW DID YOU KNOW?!" The Devils all cried out at once before yelling as several pies started to bombard them.
Lilith grinned as she used her succubus wings to slice the Devils into pieces and grab the pies. "Well, either way... Time to die!"
"DAMMIT!"
(---)
Inside the building, Ranma looked around for the main Sweets Devil and frowned, even with his enhanced eyesight he couldn't see anything. Suddenly the lights in the building all lit up and Ranma stared at the huge throne that a Sweets Devil was sitting on. "You're the real one, I assume?"
"Oh yes. Your friends are doing a great job fighting my clones, but alas, it will be for nothing." The Devil snapped its fingers. "There, that'll fix everything."
"...What?"
(---)
Kiba was the first to notice something was wrong when he sliced through a Devil, instead of dying like the rest, it laughed and seemingly put itself back together in an instant. "Hey guys! We got a problem!"
"I'VE NOTICED!" Everyone yelled at the same time as the Sweets Devils that had turned into dust and powder were reforming instantly.
"That was fun!" The Devils all said at the same time. "Let's play some more!"
(---)
"So as long as you're alive, they won't die, huh?" Ranma asked, getting a nod from the Sweets Devil. "Too bad for you then."
"Yes, yes, is that it for banter then?" Several holes on the throne opened up. "Have some pound cake!" The Devil sighed as Ranma dodged so fast that it was hard to follow him. "Another one? Are you like that old man? Oh well! ANIMAL CRACKER FARM!"
Ranma was on the ceiling and dove at the Sweets Devil when something slammed into him from the side. Grabbing it, he punched it hard enough to shatter it and twisted to land on his feet. "The hell?"
"Do you like it?" The Devil laughed as animal crackers started walking onto the battlefield. "We have eagles, bears, lions, moose, rhinos and others!"
"Feh!" Ranma pulled his hands back, both glowing green before he rapidly thrust his hands forward, causing several energy blasts to destroy the animal crackers. "You're a joke, are animals supposed to scare me?" When one landed on his face, he pulled it off and punched at it when he saw what was in his hands.
"Mrew."
(---)
Lilith suddenly fell to her knees and started screaming as the psychic link she shared with Ranma was being overwhelmed with fear and anguish. "FUCK! FUCK! NO NO NO! GET AWAY! GET AWAY!" She couldn't even think straight, everything was being overwhelmed by Ranma's fear at that moment. "SHIT! GAH!"
She knew exactly what was happening and she was powerless to stop it.
Lilith didn't even notice when she was grabbed and pulled into an alley. She didn't notice someone calling for her and shaking her as she screamed in pure fear.
She did notice when her face was slapped so hard that it stunned her for a few moments. Blinking and looking up, she saw Mittelt looking at her in fear and worry. "What the fuck is going on? The others have to cover for you and watch their asses now that you've..."
"We gotta get out of here!" Lilith yelled, fear and panic visible on her face for the first time since Mittelt had known her.
"What do you..."
"We need to leave, now! All of us, because..."
There was a rumbling from the bakery before an explosion of green energy rocked the area, blowing not only the bakery up, but the surrounding area and sending everything flying backwards at least a block in distance.
In the center of it all was Ranma, who was on all fours, chunks of the Sweets Devil around him and shards of black glass on the floor of the crater.
Moments later all of the Sweets Devils seemed to pixilate and fade into particles as if they never existed.
"Yeah, we're fucked." Lilith muttered, gulping as Ranma let out an inhuman sound from his throat and his aura shot up, causing everyone to shudder in fear.
"What the hell is that?!" Issei gulped, he didn't know why, but he had the urge to grab as many people as he could and run as far away as possible. Heck, he swore his Sacred Gear was trembling and he had no idea how THAT was possible!
"Neko-ken." Lilith muttered softly and gulped as Ranma looked at them, his eyes inhuman as dark energy rolled off of him in waves.
"Any suggestions?" Rias asked as Ranma slowly moved towards them on all fours. She couldn't describe it as walking, crawling or anything of the such, but rather an inhumane grace that she couldn't describe fully.
"Well, we could always hope he's in the mood to mate, though I don't recommend it since you might end up carrying his brats if that happens." Lilith bit her lip. "We could try to fight him, but I don't recommend that, right now he could probably dodge you even if you went the speed of light. I have no clue, before we waited until he fell asleep, but I'm not sure if that's an option here."
"Falling asleep, huh?" Akeno muttered and nodded. "Fine, then I'll zap him with enough electrical energy to knock out a Cerberus."
Ranma growled and suddenly pounced at Akeno, only to get punched from the side by Koneko and knocked down. "Hurry up!" The small girl yelled and yelped as Ranma's aura suddenly took on the form of a very large, very angry cat and slashed at her, shredding her clothes and slicing into her body horribly as blood sprayed everywhere in response.
"Koneko!" Issei called out and glared at Ranma. "Hey! You don't need to, YIKES!" He jumped away as Ranma pounced at him. Forming his wings, Issei flew into the sky and gulped as Ranma looked up and gave him a cat-like grin before crouching down and wiggling his body, preparing to pounce.
Thankfully for Issei, lightning struck down at Ranma at that moment, though the berserk fighter nimbly dodged out of the way from each strike.
Asia was thankful that Ranma was running away from her as she worked to heal Koneko. "You'll be fine." She smiled as Koneko nodded. "He's not himself, I'm sure that this is unusual."
"Why is he acting like a cat?" Koneko asked through the pain she was feeling, which was thankfully subsiding.
Asia shook her head and looked over, gasping as she saw the lightning strike the aura around Ranma and dissipate harmlessly. "What the?"
"Okay, now I'm worried." Kiba pulled out two swords, one of fire and one of ice. "I just hope this works because otherwise we're in trouble."
"Ice?" Lilith gasped as she realized something. "That's it! Make water! Cold water! If you can splash him with it, he might snap out of this state."
"Are you nuts?! You saw what happened when Akeno blasted him with lightning."
"That's because it's energy." Lilith pointed to the feet of the aura. "That's going through the ground, he has to focus, even if he's berserk, to have it affect physical matter."
"You sure it'll work?" Kiba asked, but prepared to do what she asked.
"Nope, but at this point what do we have to lose? At worst we'll have a wet, angry kitty that might run off to try and dry itself off."
"Or kill us." Kiba muttered and blinked as he felt a hand on his shoulder, turning he saw Issei giving him a thumbs up. "Issei?"
"Hey, I don't know if it'll help, but I can do this much at least."
"BOOST! TRANSFER!"
Kiba felt his energy skyrocket as Akeno kept Ranma busy by taking pot shots at him, keeping him away from the rest of them. Letting out a yell, he jumped above Ranma and crossed his swords and watched as a torrent of water came rushing out, passing through the aura harmlessly and splashing Ranma directly.
Seeing the aura instantly evaporate, Kiba let out a sigh and landed on the other side of the puddle that he had made.
"Master!" Lilith ran forward and picked up Ranma and sighed as she saw the now redhead groaning and shaking her head. "Thank goodness!" She hugged Ranma, who looked around in confusion.
"Lilith? What was I doing? Why am I wet and why are we outside? You weren't doing kinky things again, were you?"
Lilith laughed and kissed Ranma on the lips. "No, you're just fine, you had a Neko-ken attack."
Ranma's eyes widened and she stood up, freeing herself of Lilith's grasp. "Oh shit! That's right! Where's the Devil? Is anyone hurt? What... Why is everyone looking at me?"
"My my... I didn't know you had a younger sister, Rias." Akeno giggled as she tried to figure out what was going on.
"Holy cow! Ranma's tits are amazing!" Issei proclaimed and then shook his head. "I mean, how?! Can I get a pair like that too?!"
"Not fair!" Asia pouted while she finished healing up Koneko. "Even the boys have better boobies than me!"
Ranma looked around, looked down at herself and laughed. "Well, I guess I can explain this." She opened her mouth and blinked as she heard sirens in the distance. "Surprised it took them this long."
"How about we meet at the Occult Research Club?" Rias suggested, getting a nod from the others. "Very well." She couldn't WAIT to hear THIS one! As the others of her peerage got closer, they all disappeared in a red flash.
"Lilith, get us to the school." Ranma sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Cat's out of the bag, huh?"
"The fuck was THAT?!" Mittelt yelled. She knew about the Jusenkyo Curse, having seen it before, but the berserk thing was brand new.
"I'll explain when we get there." Ranma said as Nuku came over and they all disappeared into the shadows on a wall.
Not far from them, a figure in long pants, a casual dress shirt and heels watched them with interest. "Finally found you." A female voice said as her long hair fluttered in the breeze. "Soon."
End Chapter 3
Onto the next chapter!
**********************
Chapter 3
Mittelt was walking out of the school and waving to the children, smiling while mentally she was seething. 'Ugh, why do I have to go to class anyway? It's so boring!'
As she walked off of school grounds, she mentally sighed as the crowds started to disperse. 'Finally!' Now she could go home, relax and forget about everything.
Or at least, that was the plan when someone tapped her on the shoulder and she spun to see Ranma grinning at her. "...What?"
He tapped her on the nose. "You're it."
"Huh?!" She yelled as he took off. "HEY! GET BACK HERE!" She screamed and took off after him on foot. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!"
"CATCH ME AND FIND OUT!" Ranma called back, mentally smirking as she grinned and put on the speed to try and catch up to him.
The chase went all over town, up trees, behind garbage cans, up telephone poles, across rooftops and into alley ways. When Mittelt saw Ranma stopped and kneeling in front of something, she landed on the ground, panting hard. "Where... Did you... Get..." She spun around before falling on her butt, groaning. "How can you run like that?"
"Training since before I could walk." Ranma nonchalantly replied. "Anyway..." He narrowed his eyes at the charred object and touched it, jumping back as it groaned and stood up. "Is that you, old lech?"
"No respect." Happosai groaned and fell over onto his back. "Ranma..." He teared up as he looked at the boy. "The panties... They betrayed me."
Ranma and Mittelt both gave him a disgusted look and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Happosai coughed and stood up. "Listen! There's a dangerous Devil running around and trying to kill little girls with sweets!"
"Huh?!" Ranma and Mittelt looked at Happosai in confusion.
"I was just doing my daily runs, getting to know the city more, when I came across an open apartment. I heard a little girl crying out in pain and, as a true gentleman, I walked in to see if I could help and there was this little white haired cutie that looked like she was about to give birth, so naturally I helped her out and it turns out that it... Ooooh, dizzy." Happosai fell down and shook his head. "There was some sort of Devil that was using the cute little girl's body as a host and would have killed her if she didn't throw up right then and there."
"Mittelt, do you..."
"No! That sounds sick and wrong. I think even other Devils would be grossed out by such a thing!" The Fallen Angel cupped her chin. "Any idea where it is now?" Happosai shook his head.
"No! And then, and then... The panties betrayed me!"
"Great, so what do we do?" Mittelt asked Ranma. "I don't think I could just fly around and call it out or... EEEK!" She jumped as she felt a hand grabbing her ass. Spinning around, she glared at Lilith, who had half her body in the alley and the other half in the wall. "Dammit, whore! Don't do that!"
"You totally loved that, you slut." Lilith giggled before sobering up and saluting as she pulled herself out of the shadows on the wall. "You needed me, Master?"
"Yeah." Ranma picked up Happosai and held him in front of Lilith. "See if you can find out about the Devil he ran into earlier today."
"...You want me to look through HIS head?! EWW!" Lilith held her hands up and pushed away. "Nah uh! No way!"
"Lilith."
"Look, Master, I love you, but I have to have some standards."
"When do whores have standards?" Mittelt muttered from behind Lilith and pushed her forward. "Just get it over with, there was some sort of Devil that he fought and we need information on it."
"Ewww!" Seeing Ranma's look, she sighed heavily. "I'll do this on one condition!"
"What?" Ranma asked and blinked as Lilith jerked her thumb over her shoulder. "What about Mittelt?"
"You're training her to be your butt slut after this."
"HEY!" Mittelt yelled, her eyes white, blank and angry as she glared fire at Lilith.
"Either you do that or I don't look."
"Fine!" Ranma snapped, causing Mittelt to give him a betrayed look. "We'll talk about it later, just get to looking."
"Fine! But if I find something I hate in there, I'm sharing with you tonight!" Lilith grumbled and put her hand on Happosai's head. "Listen, could you just focus on the Devil so I don't have to see anything else?"
Happosai nodded and Lilith grimaced as she did a mental dive into Happosai's mind to find out what happened.
Two minutes later, Lilith pulled her hand off of Happosai and shivered. "There are levels of depravity that no one should be able to obtain. You're so far beyond that that I'm actually impressed!"
"So..?"
"Yeah, I saw it. Happosai was at Koneko's apartment. On the flip side, I can safely say that if there was a puking competition that Koneko would win every one from here until the end of time."
"Did you..."
"Yeah, yeah," Lilith grimaced as she went over the memory. "Some sort of black crystal and a puppet body. Not that it does me any good, I can't smell things in memories, so what should I do?"
"You know what the crystal is and what the Devil looks like, right?"
"Yeah, but I don't..."
"YOU don't, but you can give that information to Nabiki, can't you?" Ranma smirked as Lilith's eyes lit up. "Just go give it to her and find out where the Devil is." Standing up, he dropped Happosai onto the ground. "Can you make it back?"
"Yeah, I'm fine now."
"Good. Now where's Nuku?"
"She said she was going home." Lilith responded.
"Alright, you head to Nerima, we'll get back to base and meet up with her there and then wait for information from Nabiki."
"Okay." Lilith jumped into the shadows, disappearing as the other three quickly vacated the alley.
(---)
Sighing as she entered her room, Nabiki closed the door and flopped onto her bed, groaning. Today was just the worst! Kuno wouldn't stop reciting tales of how he had won over the foul Demon Saotome, the Hentai Horde, as Akane called them, had doubled in size now that Ranma was gone and were trying even harder to beat Akane and at their current rate they might just succeed even! "I guess I'll ask Shampoo to train Akane, because that's just disturbing."
To make matters even worse, she was actually missing Ranma around and the silliness he brought forward. She hadn't heard a scream of...
"PERVERT!"
"Yeah that!" Nabiki nodded, sighing and smiling. It had been a long time since she heard that.
"PERVERT!"
Nabiki blinked, sat up and walked to her room door. "What the?" She asked as she left her room and went downstairs. "What's going..." She stared at who was in the dining room.
"Ah, Nabiki." Kasumi smiled at her younger sister. "Lilith came to visit."
"THERE YOU ARE!" Lilith yelled and dramatically pointed. "I need to talk."
"AND YOU SHOWED UP IN THE BATHROOM WHEN I WAS ON THE TOILET?!" Akane screamed, her face red.
Lilith coughed heavily. "Believe it or not, I didn't want to, when I warp longer distances I can't always accurate land where I want to."
"Whatever, you pervert." Akane huffed and walked off.
"So, what did you need to talk about?" Nabiki asked and sighed when Lilith told her to go to her room. "Fine, fine."
When they got into Nabiki's room, Lilith closed the door behind her and sighed.
Nabiki turned around and looked at the shorter succubus. "So what did you WOAH!" She yelled as Lilith pounced on her and tackled her to the bed. "What are mmmph!" Her eyes widened as Lilith suddenly started making out with her, not only kissing her but fondling her chest and rubbing her leg between Nabiki's legs.
That lasted for nearly a minute before Lilith broke the kiss and sighed. "Thanks, after what I did earlier, I needed that." She put her head on Nabiki's chest and smiled. "Mmm! Breast pillows, so comfy."
"Um... You didn't come here for this, did you?"
"Maybe? Master won't let me use his boobies when he's in girl form like this." When Nabiki complained, she pouted. "Please? Just let me rest like this? Warping that long actually wore me out, and I gotta do it again, plus I had to do a mind dive and then I have to give you the information, so I'm a little exhausted, okay?"
Nabiki sighed and rubbed Lilith's head. "You want me to take off my shirt or something?"
"You can, but I'm good like this too." Lilith sighed and snuggled against Nabiki's chest. "Ten minutes, okay?"
The next thing Nabiki knew she had a sleeping succubus using her boobs as a pillow. "Alright, fine, ten minutes."
Twenty minutes later, Nabiki finally jostled Lilith enough to get her up. "Finally, my everything's fallen asleep."
Yawning, Lilith grinned and looked up at Nabiki. "Thanks, I feel much better." Getting off of Nabiki, who was moving slowly after her. "Anyway, Master needs you to look for something."
"Hasn't he heard of the internet?" Nabiki groused before sighing. "I'm guessing that it's something that can't be found easily?"
"Yeah, now hold still." Lilith put her hands on Nabiki's forehead. "Close your eyes, I'll send you the memories of what Master needs you to find."
"Okay, got it." Nabiki muttered as she opened her eyes, which were glowing blue. "Looks like the Devil you're looking for is at some sort of abandoned bakery and... Oh dear."
"What?"
"It's cloning itself."
"... In a bad way, or a kinky--Master now has Tentacles--way?"
"We are Legion sort of way."
"...Oh crap."
(---)
Ranma was pacing back and forth as Nuku and Mittelt watched in amusement. "She should have been back by now."
"She's probably tired. Long-range teleportation magic is pretty draining." Mittelt offered, getting a sigh from Ranma.
Before Ranma could respond, there was a flash of darkness and Lilith appeared in front of them, looking exhausted. "Ugh, this sucks. We have a problem."
"Problem how?" When Lilith explained to him, he grimaced. "Well, fuck. We need to..." The next thing he knew, Lilith was tackling him to the floor and working on undoing his pants. "Hey! What are you..."
"I'm tired, hungry and low on energy! I'm sucking you off." She glared at him as she freed his penis and started rubbing it. "Just a quick blowjob, okay?"
"Right now?" Ranma asked, groaning as Lilith instantly lowered her head and started licking and sucking on his penis. "Dammit, nnngh. Lilith."
"I really shouldn't watch this." Mittelt muttered, unable to tear her eyes away.
Next to her, Nuku watched with great interest, making sure to take mental notes on what Lilith was doing. She tilted her head as Lilith reached down to cup and massage Ranma's balls, causing him to gasp while she opened her mouth and took his whole length into her mouth and down her throat while bobbing her head up and down.
"Sheesh, Lilith..." Ranma groaned, not trying to fight the sensations. "Fuck..." He grunted, feeling a familiar tingling sensation building up in him. He could normally keep from cumming too fast, but since she was wanting his cum quickly and was sucking REALLY hard it was hard to ignore.
Both Mittelt and Nuku's faces were flushed as Ranma groaned and bucked his hips into Lilith's mouth, twitching as he obviously came in her. Mittelt shivered as she watched Lilith swallow what seemed like a copious amount of cum before bobbing her head up and down on his penis again. "HEY! Aren't we in a hurry?"
"PAH!" Lilith pulled her head off of Ranma's fully erect penis with a smile. "Much better! And I was sucking the rest out of his shaft. A good cock-sucker makes sure that the penis is cleared out so that there's no mess when he puts his pants back on."
"That's fine, can you pull your pants up now? That's distracting and we have something we need to deal with." Mittelt turned away, blushing hard. The last thing she wanted to see was Ranma's shaft, because she'd start thinking about it being used on her and then she'd... "GAH!"
"Yeah." Ranma nodded as he did just that, adjusting so that his dick wouldn't hurt. "Let's get going."
(---)
Ten minutes later, the four of them touched down near an abandoned bakery and Mittelt looked around. "So why didn't we fly here?"
"No need to reveal that we're Devils just yet." Ranma replied. "You could have flown, you still have your Fallen Angel wings you know?"
Hearing Mittelt start swearing, Lilith giggled before sobering up. "I can feel it. Lots of them in there."
"Probably going to need some help." Ranma muttered and reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a cell phone.
"Who are you calling?" Nuku asked as Ranma held up a finger.
"Ah, Rias Gremory? This is Ranma, don't ask how I got your number. Anyway, are you and your group anywhere near the old bakery down on Baskerville Street? Because if you don't get down here now, the city will be over-run by a Devil in a chef's hat that likes to make sweets."
"How did you get her number?" Lilith asked as Ranma flipped his phone closed and put it away.
"Stole Issei's phone when he wasn't looking and put Rias's number in my contacts."
"... Did you return it?" Lilith asked.
"Of course," Ranma replied.
"And what else was on it?"
"Wa~ay too much porn," Ranma said. "Not even any good ones either. Just mainly images with one person, all in the same position."
It was two minutes later when Rias, Akeno, Kiba, Koneko, Issei and Asia ran up to the gate where Ranma, Lilith, Nuku and Mittelt were at. "Hey." Ranma waved at them.
"So why are you here? You're not Devils, are you?" Issei asked, obviously confused.
"Does it matter?" Lilith asked. "We got a Chef Burrodee in there making clones of itself and we got here first."
"No point in arguing over this," Rias tried to calm everyone down and looked at Mittelt and Nuku, "is it okay to involve them?"
"I'm only here because I was ordered to be here." Mittelt pointed at Rias. "Just don't shoot me in the back and there won't be a problem." She sighed when Rias blinked in confusion and did a pirouette, revealing black feathery wings.
"A Fallen Angel?!" Issei, Akeno and Rias all hissed and Mittelt ducked behind Nuku.
"Relax, she works for me." Ranma held his hand up. "There's reasons for it, but she won't attack any of you." He looked over his shoulder and she nodded.
"R, right! I promise! No backstabbing anyone! We have a bigger enemy to fry."
Rias gave her a dirty look before taking a deep breath. "You're right, and very well, so long as she keeps herself in check, I suppose I won't try to kill her."
"She will." Ranma nodded.
"What about Atsuko?" Asia asked. She didn't see how the taller girl could possibly help out.
"Don't worry, she's fine." Ranma waved off the blonde girl's concerns before looking up. "And we're out of time."
Standing on top of the bakery, the Sweets Devil was looking at them with its arms crossed. "Greetings! Greetings! Oh, my former host! You're up and moving, huh?"
Koneko growled and squeezed her hands into fists. "Yeah, and this time you're going down!"
"Oh dear! But I think you need to stay for my opening act!" The Devil flung its arms out wide and everyone stared as the sky turned yellow and pies seemingly came out of the sky, causing ripples in the air. "PIES OF BABYLON!" The Devil snapped a finger. "Have a free sample!" One pie flew at the group and they all jumped away as it hit the ground, exploding violently.
"Well..." Akeno muttered as she saw the crater that had been made. "That's absolutely terrifying."
"And I have plenty more!" The Devil laughed and held its left arm up before lazily dropping it down, causing the pies to launch out, one after the other.
"Kiba!"
"On it!" The blond pulled out a flaming sword and rushed at the Devil.
"Naughty naughty!" The Devil waggled its finger and Kiba stumbled as the ground itself turned into bubbling hot chocolate and he sank into it up to his shoulders. "I've had all day to set this up! There's no way you're going to beat me that easily, now why don't you just... Blow up?"
Kiba watched as the pies came rushing at his face. "SHIT!"
Several bolts of lightning crashed over the pies, causing them to explode.
Up in the air, Akeno, now dressed in Miko robes, looked on with her eyes narrowed. "None of that, try that again and I'll introduce you to levels of pain that even the most extreme masochist couldn't handle."
"Fine." The Devil pointed a finger at Akeno and dozens of exploding pies went flying at the Miko, who took off into the air. "I've got plenty where that came fro, OOOMPH!" Its body was rocked to the side as an emerald green energy blast hit it in the head, causing it to loose its balance and fall onto its head. "Oww! Who did that?"
"Nuku, get him out of there!" Ranma yelled from his position on top of a nearby roof before launching himself at the Devil.
"Right!" Nuku jumped down, grabbed a nearby chain link fence and ripped it out of the ground and threw it across the hot chocolate. "HERE!"
"Thanks!" Kiba grabbed on and was about to pull himself out when Nuku did it for him, pulling the fence up and launching the blond boy into the air. Extending his wings, Kiba shook his head in amazement, he was used to seeing Koneko doing that, not others.
"Kiba!" Issei called out as he saw a pie flying towards Kiba from behind.
Turning in slow motion, Kiba saw it too late and mentally braced for an explosion that would hurt when a pink spear pierced the pie and caused it to explode early.
"Seriously!" Mittelt groused as she formed another spear of Light, "pay more attention. You!" She pointed at Issei with her spear. "Why aren't you doing anything?"
"BOOST!"
"It takes a bit to get going." Issei muttered as he looked at his gauntlet. "And I can't hold too many charges."
Meanwhile Ranma had to stop his charge in mid air as he flipped and pushed off what looked to be an invisible wall so that he could land on the street. "The hell?" He stared as a giant chocolate rabbit came out of the hot chocolate soup. "Figures."
"What did you do?" Koneko asked him.
"It's a trick I learned from some Devil Hunters who specialized in making barriers, not as useful as flying, but in a pitched fight you can make footholds to use like you're standing on the ground."
"Enough of this." Rias threw her hands out and red and black energy blasted the chocolate rabbits, destroying them instantly.
The next thing she knew a pie slammed into her stomach, exploding and sending her flying into the street below.
"RIAS!" Her peerage called out, clearly worried about her.
"Asia!"
"Right!" The blonde ran to where Rias had been last seen.
"Now that the annoying one is, oh man!" The Devil jumped back as powerful blasts of lightning struck down where it was a moment ago. "Oh come on, what's a little..."
Kiba was there a moment later, screaming as his sword cut the Devil in half, causing the pies to disappear completely.
There was a clapping sound and everyone turned and paled as dozens upon dozens of identical Sweets Devils came out of the shadows.
"Impressive teamwork. However, if you had trouble with one Pies of Babylon..." Suddenly the sky lit up as if it were on fire. "How will you handle this many?"
"Oh poopie." Lilith summed it up for everyone.
"Indeed!" All of the Sweets Devils said at the same time as the pies started launching in all directions.
"Okay, anyone got a plan?!" Issei yelled as he dodged an exploding pie.
"BOOST!"
"Yeah, I need to..." Issei trailed off as he realized there were some not far from where Asia and Rias were. "Oh no!"
"Go take care of them then!" Ranma yelled as he fired several Youki blasts at the pies. "Protect your friends and trust us to get out of this!"
"Right!"
Akeno glared as she sent several lightning blasts to try and defend against the pies, causing the sky to light up with explosions.
"Heads up." Was her only warning as a spear of light went past her face and struck one of the Sweets Devils in the chest, causing it to scream out and spasm before turning to dust.
"Hey! Watch it!" Akeno shot back and growled as Mittelt ignored her and threw another spear at another Sweets Devil. "Give me more of a warning!" She snapped her fingers and lightning crashed down on the spear, more out of annoyance at being nearly clipped by it than anything else.
When the spear stopped in mid-air and started to spin, sending powerful lightning bolts in all directions for several moments before the spear shattered into particles of energy. Both Akeno and Mittelt stared for a moment, before they started to grin.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Akeno's grin was shark-like as she threw her arms out to the side and electricity started to form around her.
"I think so, but can the enemies keep up with us?" Mittelt had a similar grin on her face as she formed another spear and threw it up and towards the Sweets Devils, only to laugh as Akeno dropped lightning on it and both the pies and the Sweets Devils started getting pelted with lightning.
"Oh my! This is so hot." Akeno giggled as she kept up the assault. "Who knew it could be used like this?"
"Well," the Sweets Devils started to focus their attention on Akeno and Mittelt, "flying annoyances need to be dealt with first."
Akeno just smirked as pies flew at them from behind before turning into slices and exploding harmlessly in the air.
Landing on the ground, Kiba shook the custard off of his sword and looked up. "I don't think so."
On the other side of the lot, Koneko, Nuku and Lilith were facing off against more than a dozen Sweets Devils themselves.
"I have an idea." Nuku looked at Koneko and held her hand out. "Know what a fastball special is?"
Koneko nodded and jumped on the taller girl's hand. "I usually do it to others though."
Nuku grinned as she spun and prepared to throw Koneko like a baseball. "Fire on."
Koneko didn't have time to wonder what was going on when Nuku's arm was covered in fire, and then her whole body was. "...I'm on fire."
"You hurting?"
"No."
"Then you're fine!" Nuku yelled and threw the flaming loli at the Sweets Devils. Looking at her arm, she wondered why the fire was gone before shrugging it off. 'Must have sent everything to that other girl.' Nuku realized that she never got the girl's name yet.
As she flew through the air, Koneko crossed her arms over her face as several pies came flying at her. 'This might hurt.' When the pies exploded harmlessly against the aura that was surrounding her, she had a small grin cross her face. "Payback time." Doing a few flips in the air, she did a dive kick into the gut of one of the Sweets Devils, destroying it and spinning around to punch another one in the face before grabbing a third one by its throat and slamming it into the sidewalk.
Standing up, her body still wreathed in flames, her eyes started to glow. "Who's next?"
Frowning as his phone rang, Ranma jumped into the alley and looked at it. "Nabiki?" Opening the phone, he answered it. "This better be important, we got a situation."
"Shut up, I know. You're fighting puppets, the real one's inside and he's already laughing because he's making more of those things, he's going to wear you all out and then kill you."
"Lovely, alright, got it." Ranma hung up the phone and ran out of the alley towards the bakery. "I'm going after the real one, you guys keep the clones busy!"
"Right!" The others nodded.
In the air, a Sweets Devil flew over the battlefield and pointed at Ranma. "Too bad I shall not allow you..."
"BOOST! TRANSFER!"
"Huh?" The Sweets Devil turned to see a pie flying right at it. "...Oh the irony." A moment later, the pie splattered it in the face and exploded as though it was an anti-matter bomb.
When Mittelt threw another spear in the general direction of the Sweets Devils, she didn't expect it to be in the middle of a black and red circle. "Um..."
When lightning crashed down on it and covered an even larger area than before, wiping out over three dozen Sweets Devils in an instant, she spun to see Rias standing there, her school outfit in tatters, her face dirtied and a VERY angry look on her face.
"You know, I can forgive trying to kill me, I'm trying to kill you as well, but you tried to kill my Servants," a scary red and black aura formed around Rias, "and that is something I won't EVER forgive!"
Kiba smiled as he saw Issei, holding a pie, and Asia, holding a pie in each hand, walk back onto the battlefield. "Good to see you made it, but how are you...?"
"BOOST!"
"Simple!" Issei grinned as he threw a pie at one of the Devils and grinned as it countered with another pie, creating an explosion more than four times as powerful as before and nearly knocking everyone off their feet. "The pies only explode if you break the top. The pie pans won't explode!"
"CURSES! HOW DID YOU KNOW?!" The Devils all cried out at once before yelling as several pies started to bombard them.
Lilith grinned as she used her succubus wings to slice the Devils into pieces and grab the pies. "Well, either way... Time to die!"
"DAMMIT!"
(---)
Inside the building, Ranma looked around for the main Sweets Devil and frowned, even with his enhanced eyesight he couldn't see anything. Suddenly the lights in the building all lit up and Ranma stared at the huge throne that a Sweets Devil was sitting on. "You're the real one, I assume?"
"Oh yes. Your friends are doing a great job fighting my clones, but alas, it will be for nothing." The Devil snapped its fingers. "There, that'll fix everything."
"...What?"
(---)
Kiba was the first to notice something was wrong when he sliced through a Devil, instead of dying like the rest, it laughed and seemingly put itself back together in an instant. "Hey guys! We got a problem!"
"I'VE NOTICED!" Everyone yelled at the same time as the Sweets Devils that had turned into dust and powder were reforming instantly.
"That was fun!" The Devils all said at the same time. "Let's play some more!"
(---)
"So as long as you're alive, they won't die, huh?" Ranma asked, getting a nod from the Sweets Devil. "Too bad for you then."
"Yes, yes, is that it for banter then?" Several holes on the throne opened up. "Have some pound cake!" The Devil sighed as Ranma dodged so fast that it was hard to follow him. "Another one? Are you like that old man? Oh well! ANIMAL CRACKER FARM!"
Ranma was on the ceiling and dove at the Sweets Devil when something slammed into him from the side. Grabbing it, he punched it hard enough to shatter it and twisted to land on his feet. "The hell?"
"Do you like it?" The Devil laughed as animal crackers started walking onto the battlefield. "We have eagles, bears, lions, moose, rhinos and others!"
"Feh!" Ranma pulled his hands back, both glowing green before he rapidly thrust his hands forward, causing several energy blasts to destroy the animal crackers. "You're a joke, are animals supposed to scare me?" When one landed on his face, he pulled it off and punched at it when he saw what was in his hands.
"Mrew."
(---)
Lilith suddenly fell to her knees and started screaming as the psychic link she shared with Ranma was being overwhelmed with fear and anguish. "FUCK! FUCK! NO NO NO! GET AWAY! GET AWAY!" She couldn't even think straight, everything was being overwhelmed by Ranma's fear at that moment. "SHIT! GAH!"
She knew exactly what was happening and she was powerless to stop it.
Lilith didn't even notice when she was grabbed and pulled into an alley. She didn't notice someone calling for her and shaking her as she screamed in pure fear.
She did notice when her face was slapped so hard that it stunned her for a few moments. Blinking and looking up, she saw Mittelt looking at her in fear and worry. "What the fuck is going on? The others have to cover for you and watch their asses now that you've..."
"We gotta get out of here!" Lilith yelled, fear and panic visible on her face for the first time since Mittelt had known her.
"What do you..."
"We need to leave, now! All of us, because..."
There was a rumbling from the bakery before an explosion of green energy rocked the area, blowing not only the bakery up, but the surrounding area and sending everything flying backwards at least a block in distance.
In the center of it all was Ranma, who was on all fours, chunks of the Sweets Devil around him and shards of black glass on the floor of the crater.
Moments later all of the Sweets Devils seemed to pixilate and fade into particles as if they never existed.
"Yeah, we're fucked." Lilith muttered, gulping as Ranma let out an inhuman sound from his throat and his aura shot up, causing everyone to shudder in fear.
"What the hell is that?!" Issei gulped, he didn't know why, but he had the urge to grab as many people as he could and run as far away as possible. Heck, he swore his Sacred Gear was trembling and he had no idea how THAT was possible!
"Neko-ken." Lilith muttered softly and gulped as Ranma looked at them, his eyes inhuman as dark energy rolled off of him in waves.
"Any suggestions?" Rias asked as Ranma slowly moved towards them on all fours. She couldn't describe it as walking, crawling or anything of the such, but rather an inhumane grace that she couldn't describe fully.
"Well, we could always hope he's in the mood to mate, though I don't recommend it since you might end up carrying his brats if that happens." Lilith bit her lip. "We could try to fight him, but I don't recommend that, right now he could probably dodge you even if you went the speed of light. I have no clue, before we waited until he fell asleep, but I'm not sure if that's an option here."
"Falling asleep, huh?" Akeno muttered and nodded. "Fine, then I'll zap him with enough electrical energy to knock out a Cerberus."
Ranma growled and suddenly pounced at Akeno, only to get punched from the side by Koneko and knocked down. "Hurry up!" The small girl yelled and yelped as Ranma's aura suddenly took on the form of a very large, very angry cat and slashed at her, shredding her clothes and slicing into her body horribly as blood sprayed everywhere in response.
"Koneko!" Issei called out and glared at Ranma. "Hey! You don't need to, YIKES!" He jumped away as Ranma pounced at him. Forming his wings, Issei flew into the sky and gulped as Ranma looked up and gave him a cat-like grin before crouching down and wiggling his body, preparing to pounce.
Thankfully for Issei, lightning struck down at Ranma at that moment, though the berserk fighter nimbly dodged out of the way from each strike.
Asia was thankful that Ranma was running away from her as she worked to heal Koneko. "You'll be fine." She smiled as Koneko nodded. "He's not himself, I'm sure that this is unusual."
"Why is he acting like a cat?" Koneko asked through the pain she was feeling, which was thankfully subsiding.
Asia shook her head and looked over, gasping as she saw the lightning strike the aura around Ranma and dissipate harmlessly. "What the?"
"Okay, now I'm worried." Kiba pulled out two swords, one of fire and one of ice. "I just hope this works because otherwise we're in trouble."
"Ice?" Lilith gasped as she realized something. "That's it! Make water! Cold water! If you can splash him with it, he might snap out of this state."
"Are you nuts?! You saw what happened when Akeno blasted him with lightning."
"That's because it's energy." Lilith pointed to the feet of the aura. "That's going through the ground, he has to focus, even if he's berserk, to have it affect physical matter."
"You sure it'll work?" Kiba asked, but prepared to do what she asked.
"Nope, but at this point what do we have to lose? At worst we'll have a wet, angry kitty that might run off to try and dry itself off."
"Or kill us." Kiba muttered and blinked as he felt a hand on his shoulder, turning he saw Issei giving him a thumbs up. "Issei?"
"Hey, I don't know if it'll help, but I can do this much at least."
"BOOST! TRANSFER!"
Kiba felt his energy skyrocket as Akeno kept Ranma busy by taking pot shots at him, keeping him away from the rest of them. Letting out a yell, he jumped above Ranma and crossed his swords and watched as a torrent of water came rushing out, passing through the aura harmlessly and splashing Ranma directly.
Seeing the aura instantly evaporate, Kiba let out a sigh and landed on the other side of the puddle that he had made.
"Master!" Lilith ran forward and picked up Ranma and sighed as she saw the now redhead groaning and shaking her head. "Thank goodness!" She hugged Ranma, who looked around in confusion.
"Lilith? What was I doing? Why am I wet and why are we outside? You weren't doing kinky things again, were you?"
Lilith laughed and kissed Ranma on the lips. "No, you're just fine, you had a Neko-ken attack."
Ranma's eyes widened and she stood up, freeing herself of Lilith's grasp. "Oh shit! That's right! Where's the Devil? Is anyone hurt? What... Why is everyone looking at me?"
"My my... I didn't know you had a younger sister, Rias." Akeno giggled as she tried to figure out what was going on.
"Holy cow! Ranma's tits are amazing!" Issei proclaimed and then shook his head. "I mean, how?! Can I get a pair like that too?!"
"Not fair!" Asia pouted while she finished healing up Koneko. "Even the boys have better boobies than me!"
Ranma looked around, looked down at herself and laughed. "Well, I guess I can explain this." She opened her mouth and blinked as she heard sirens in the distance. "Surprised it took them this long."
"How about we meet at the Occult Research Club?" Rias suggested, getting a nod from the others. "Very well." She couldn't WAIT to hear THIS one! As the others of her peerage got closer, they all disappeared in a red flash.
"Lilith, get us to the school." Ranma sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Cat's out of the bag, huh?"
"The fuck was THAT?!" Mittelt yelled. She knew about the Jusenkyo Curse, having seen it before, but the berserk thing was brand new.
"I'll explain when we get there." Ranma said as Nuku came over and they all disappeared into the shadows on a wall.
Not far from them, a figure in long pants, a casual dress shirt and heels watched them with interest. "Finally found you." A female voice said as her long hair fluttered in the breeze. "Soon."
