AN: I do not own the rights to either of these animes.

Sorry all for the long wait, but you would not believ how many times I rewrote this. I didn't like the flow, I messed up the characters personality, etc. This may end up killing a lot of potentially viewers but I have never watched the anime of Highschool DxD. So you probably think, well what's so bad about that? That just means you've read the manga. Yeah...I'm far to lazy to read a manga. So the only reason I know about Highschool Dxd is from the crossover section, then wikipedia. So excuse me if my knowledge on this isn't as complete as it should be. I'm most likely going to botch something, but when doing a crossover with limited knowledge about one or both of the things your crossing, that's just par for the course.

Before I get into this, NO, I will not have Anderson become a devil. I don't think anyone hqas asked in the reviews, but I know some of you have thought it. Am I the only one tired of how every protagonist in a Highschool DxD crossover, becomes a devil? I mean, what the hell? But I digress.

On with ther show!

Chapter 2

Plane, Destination: Japan

Anderson sat looking out the window of the plane, thinking of what has happened and what will most likely happen. He scowled as he thought back to when he visited the Church. He knew from the beginning that he would not be receiving a warm welcome after his actions the night of his arrival to this world.

It went well at first. He 'surrendered' to them easily enough and went with them to one of the anti-chambers located beneath the Church. And that was just him assuming the layout would be the same as back home. Thankfully, he had been correct. Which proved useful later when he made his escape. Just that thought was preposterous. Him! Making a run from the Church? But, it happened all the same.

They made him wait hours. He knew what they were doing. It was an old tactic to cause a persons patience to wear extremely thin so that they would most likely say something without meaning to and reveal critical information. Thankfully, his taking care of orphans back home helped grant him a large amount of patience, so that when they started their 'interrogation' he was more than ready.

It was only when he said that he was on a mission from God Himself, to bring a more stable balance to the world that things had started to degenerate. People were called names, insults were thrown, then weapons were drawn. He knew it was wrong, but he still felt a measure of pride about how efficiently he took down their 'exorcists'. He scoffed at the thought. Not a single one of them would have been a candidate for Iscariot back home. 'No wonder the Church is the weakest right now. With fighters like that, it's a miracle they're around,' he thought.

To think, they were so arrogant as to believe he'd just hand over Purity and Sanctity. They didn't even try to convince him to hand them over, they straight up demanded them. But, despite all that had happened, he couldn't bring himself to kill the ones that tried to detain him. Most were injured and some will definitely need to go to a hospital. The only thing this accomplished was to show him that he needed to get in contact with an angel, preferably high up in the food-chain. But, to do that, he'll need to do something impressive.

He could a), eliminate a high ranked threat, or b), strike a more secure truce with one of the other factions. Eliminating a high ranked threat it is. Now, some may be wondering just why he was heading to Japan of all places. The answer is two-fold. 1), he learned that there's been a rise of activity from the other two factions in a town called Kuoh. And 2), he also learned that an exiled nun named Asia Argento went there as well. What was special about Asia was that she had a Sacred Gear called the Twilight Healing. It was able to heal all wounds short of decapitation and can be used on anything that breathed. Humans, angels, fallen angels, even devils.

Apparently, she was accused for healing a devil and was banished for it. But did one person think that she just might have been manipulated and/or tricked by the devil for that very purpose?! No! Now, both she and her power were in enemy territory and it was only a matter of time before one of them placed their clawed hands on her.

Once he finds out the situation regarding this young nun, he will then decide whether Kuoh is where he needs to be, so that he can do something that will draw attention to himself. He smiled to himself at the thought of fallen angels and devils alike coming at him in droves so that he may cut them down. He won't exterminate them to extinction, no matter how much he wished to, but fewer numbers could make a more steady truce plausible. He'll just have to wait and see and trust in the Lord.

Later, Kuoh, Japan

Anderson stood outside looking at the remains of the church here. By looks alone it is clear that this place had been abandoned years ago. However, when you look closer, you could tell that a battle had been fought here. He grit his teeth in anger at the gall someone had to make a church a battleground. No normal human could have made the various battle scars around the area, so it was definitely supernatural. And that meant there were Fallen Angels as only they could do such a thing. On the other hand, it could have been some devils. He wouldn't put it passed them to desecrate a house of God.

That reminded him that by technicality, he was in enemy territory. He had had plenty of time to learn about some of the things of this world. And one of them is the fact that Devils were laying claim to towns and cities across the world as if they had a right to it! The city he was in 'belonged' to the Gremory and Sitri. Oh, how he longed to kill the local devils and draw in at least two of the four 'Satans'. The thought of two of these 'Satans' heads rolling brought a smile to his face, but also caused him to sigh as from what he has been told, the devil who holds the 'title' of Lucifer is the kindest among the four. He shook his head to clear his thoughts. He had a church to rebuild, then-he cringed-a meeting with these blasted devils.

One Week Later

Anderson used his sleeve to wipe away the sweat that had built up on his forehead. It had taken him a week and almost all of the funds he had managed to scrounge up along the way (mainly from people who were wanting the 'eyesore' back into proper shape), but he had repaired the church to a somewhat decent shape. Now, he just had to clear some of the vegetation away for easier access for those seeking the Lord's guidance. Unfortunately, he cannot push his meeting back any longer. He knew the devils knew of him as he had seen some of their pets-familiars-hanging about. He let out a sigh before closing the doors and putting his coat back on. It wasn't exactly necessary as it was a warm day, but he had just grown so used to it.

As he walked through the city towards the dwelling of the foul creatures, he couldn't help but smile at some of the things he saw. Children playing about, couples walking along hand-in-hand, but mostly just how most people seemed genuinely happy. It took an hour, far to short in his opinion, but he was finally outside the gates of Kuoh Academy. Thankfully it was the weekend so there weren't any students around and that meant he didn't have to worry about them nor the faculty interfering or just in case things go wrong.

He pushed against the gate and wasn't surprised to find it unlocked. Most likely the devils were prepared in advanced. "Now where would they be?" he asked himself. He just knew that they resided here, not which building and he had little desire to explore the entire place. "If I were a prideful devil, where would I live?" The answer? The building that stuck out.. There. The building had obvious signs of age, unlike the others who tried to appear pristine. It had thick foliage surrounding it and actually had a clock tower. Plus, it was just a ways away from the other buildings.

As he approached, he wondered what twisted beings he'd find lurking within the buildings depths. He also pondered on the defenses as surely the sisters of two of the four satans wouldn't be arrogant enough to rely on their siblings reputation and backlash for protection. However, as he stood outside the front door and it creaked open as if he was in some kind of stupid horror movie, he has been wrong before. He said a silent prayer as he entered the premises.

Thanks to his blessing from God, he would never consider it a curse, he was able to sense where the devils all were so he didn't have to go through every room. As he stood outside the door, he could only imagine their smug little faces knowing that he couldn't harm him. Their devilish skin, black beady eyes, fanged teeth, horns and tails. The thought alone made him want to draw his blades and just annihilate them all! He took a steady breath to calm himself before he did something he shouldn't.

"Enter," said a young woman from inside. He scowled at the order. He hadn't even seen them and already he wanted to burn their bodies so that he would never have to. He yanked open the door unprepared for the sight that met his gaze.

Earlier, With Rias

Rias was having her weekly tea time with her childhood friend Sona. "Hard to believe that the priest has yet to come here and make his demands," she said. Sona took a sip of her tea, ever the calm, cool, and collected person. "I mean, sure the first day is a given. They tend to take their time to scout out the area, but a week? It's like he's waiting on us!"

"You know what he's been doing," Sona remarked.

"Well, yeah, but my cute little familiar has to get away every time he decided to bless something, which is pretty often. It's like he was blessing the ground, the bushes, the tress, the flowers, the building, the wood, the-"

"I get it Rias," Sona said with a barely there smile at her friends antics. Some things never change. She made to take another sip, but stopped when she felt someone at the edge of the schools barrier. "Looks like he finally decided to show up."

"Yeah, I can sense him to. He doesn't seem to powerful."

"He could be suppressing his power."

"True. Still, we should better summon everyone."

"Provide a unified front?"

"If he doesn't know of our families close ties, he could think that we're fighting for control of the city." Sona hmmed, showing she agreed, though she doubted it. With a snap of their fingers, the room was lit up in red and blue.

"You called for us Buchou?" asked Kiba, Rias' knight, with what many women called a charming smile.

"Yes. The priest has finally decided to pay us a visit to why he's here. Issei," she said addressing one of her newest peerage members. "I need you to stay focused. We don't know what he or the Church wants, so stay on your toes."

"Hai, Buchou," he said, eyes burning with determination. It didn't take long at all for them to get ready for the priests arrival. While they appeared normal and unbothered, they were in fact quite anxious as they knew nothing about the priest besides what Rias' familiar told her about him. For Issei, it was like being back in class, the ticking of the clock slowly driving him mad as everyone remained silent. He hadn't any good interactions with the Church ever since his revival, but then again they were all 'strays', so he didn't know what to expect.

"Asia," she said, this time more softly, "don't fret to much. No matter what he says, you're our friend." Asia gave a shy, but still nervous smile. She hadn't had any contact with the Church since she was exiled, so it was understandable that she would feel nervous at meeting one of its members.

Tick, tick, tick, tick. As the seconds past by, Issei found himself breathing heavier, his palms sweating more than they have before, and his heart was beating in his ear like a drum. The waiting was going to kill him before the priest arrived! "Hey". He turned to see Kiba giving him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, we'll be fine."

"I wasn't worried," Issei replied.

"Enter," said Rias, stopping whatever people were having. The door knob turned and the door seemed to creak open, at least to Issei. In the doorway stood the priest with shadow seeming to cover his entire upper half. From about mid stomach, none of them could make out a single detail besides his glowing golden cross, which was causing them some discomfort, and his glasses reflecting the light. Being devils, they all had perfect night vision, so this was worrying.

Slowly, the priest stepped into the room till he stood dead center, facing them. The man was a giant compared to them! Issei stood at an average height of 5'6", but this man just seemed to tower over him. But, there was one thing that Issei wasn't noticing that the more experienced members were, the priests eyes showed hesitation, almost as if he didn't know what to make of them. "So," the priests baritone voice bounced off everything in the room, "you're the devils in charge?"

"Yes, we are," said Rias. "And you're the one who has set up shop in our territory." That was apparently the wrong thing to say as evidenced by his jaw tightening, his lips moving into a sneer, and his hands clenching that if he weren't wearing gloves, his nails would be digging into his skin.

"You're territory?" he spat at them. While the more experienced members didn't react, the less experienced ones flinched at the venom he laced that one word with. "Only a devil would be arrogant enough to claim a part of Earth as their territory."

"Your Church certainly hasn't stopped us," she replied.

He glared hard at her, before bowing his head. They at first took this as a sign of him accepting defeat in this little power play. That is, until he started chuckling. He then reared his head back and howled with laughter. Everyone was confused, and for Rias and Sona, insulted. "And I expected actual devils," the priest replied, his voice heavy with amusement.

This pissed them off. By his own admission, he had already recognized them for what they were, but now he was essentially taking it back. "I can assure you," Sona said, glaring at him, "that we are in fact devils." She signaled for her peerage as she stood up, with Rias copying her. All at once, all of them unleashed their wings and tails.

He stopped laughing, but his eyes and his damnable smile betrayed him. "I can tell you are devils, hell scum. I was just expecting a creature much older than you to be claiming a piece of Earth as their territory."

How dare he! They greeted him cordially enough, and he just insults them. "I'll have you know that we are far more powerful then we may appear, human," Rias snapped. Perhaps in the future, the threat would carried more weight with it, but at this point it was more a bluff than anything. Rias didn't like to admit it, but every altercation her peerage has been part of, they survived mostly by sheer luck. And the priest apparently knew this.

He gave what most mistook as a fanged grin at her with bloodlust just pouring off of him. "I'd be willing to put those words to the test." His fingers twitched, showing he was just waiting for one of them to start off a fight.

Unfortunately, sweet, dear, naïve, Issei was willing to oblige. "Bring it old man," he yelled, his Boosted Gear forming on his arm. "We're not scared of you."

Before anyone could react, the priest was practically nose to nose with Issei, a wide smile on his face, but the thing that surprised everyone was the two silver blades radiating holy energy crossed in front of Issei's neck. "Try it, boy. I've faced monsters far more terrifying than a lad with power running to his head."

"I would appreciate it, if you would release my servant," Rias said from behind the priest, the Power of Destruction pulsing in her hands. Beside her, her peerage readied themselves. Akeno had one of her lightning spells readied, Kiba had summoned two of his blades, and Koneko tightened her gloves. Sona and her peerage readied themselves with the senior members guarding their newest ones.

All except Asia who ran up to the priest and grabbed his coats sleeve. "Please, don't hurt him" she begged. "He's my friend."

When the priest turned towards her, everyone was ready to jump in to save Asia…but he stooped when he fully laid eyes on her. He blinked a couple of times before backing up and sending his blades up his sleeves (force of habit). "Why is a devil wearing the outfit of a sister of the Church?" His tone easily put off the elder devils. He sounded perfectly calm.

Asia looked down and twiddled her fingers with an embarrassed blush dusting her cheeks. She mumbled her answer under her breath which only seemed to amuse the priest. While from Anderson's perspective, he was greatly reminded of when he would catch the children being bad. In fact, if he didn't know she was a devil, he would have easily mistook her for one of the children from the orphanage. He gestured for her to repeat herself. She did so, but her words were still to soft. He gave a light chuckle. This again confused the devils as his chuckle contained no malice or bloodlust. He sighed before asking a question he hoped he did not have to. "Are you Asia Argento?"

She nodded, causing him to sigh. "I was afraid this would happen," he said. "Be grateful devils. I, as of now, cannot harm you. Doing so would spark a war, and I am to do everything in my power to prevent that."

"So…you're here to guard us?" asked Rias, confused.

Anderson snorted, both amused and insulted. "Nay. I came here for two purposes. This area has become a den of supernatural activity, and sooner or later, one of the more powerful members of the three factions will show up. I plan on confronting them when they do."

"And the second?" asked Sona.

"The second"-sigh-"was to prevent your kind or the members of the fallen angels from getting their claws on the young lass here." He made his way towards the door. "I now know that I am too late."

"Wait!" said Kiba. "Who are you? Why has the Church sent you specifically?"

Anderson had his hand on the doorknob, before twisting it. "The Church? That den of corruption? They were not the ones who sent me here."

"The who?"

"I was brought back from heaven by God himself for the sole purpose of preventing the destruction of the Angels." He yanked open the door before turning towards them. "As for me. I have been called many names by those I hunt. The Bayonet Priest. The Purifier. God's Assassin. Saint Guillotine. The Monster Hunter. And the Monster of God. I, am Alexander Anderson, God's Bayonet! The instrument of his divine will on this planet. Be warned devils, should you get in my way, I will not hesitate to cut you down." With that, he turned and marched out of the room.

Everyone left inside released a breath they did not know they were holding. Rias shook her head in disbelief. "The monster of God? I think I would have heard of someone with that title."

"He did say he wasn't sent here by the Church," Sona said.

"Yeah, well, I refuse to believe a guy like him was brought back by God," Issei said, before grabbing his head in pain. All these times of saying God was giving him a migraine.

"But what about his Sacred Gear?" intruded Akeno.

"Hmm, I'm not sure," Rias replied. "Kiba?"

Kiba shook his head to show he too, didn't know. "I'm sorry Buchou, but I've never heard of a Sacred Gear that makes bayonets."

"Bayonets?"

"Hai. I didn't recognize them at first, but with his titles, it seems the bayonet is his preferred weapon." This worried Rias. Swords, spears, halberds, guns, that she can work with. She can plan around an opponent with those types of weapons. But, bayonets?

"What do you think Sona?"

"I believe that we have been left with more questions than answers. I do not know who this 'Alexander Anderson' is, but I intend to find out."

"In the mean time," Akeno said, her face completely serious, "I suggest we tread carefully." She didn't find any arguments with anyone. However, unbeknownst to everyone, Asia was in the middle of her own thoughts. 'A Saint?'

AN: So, surprise, surprise. Anderson isn't with the Church. One of the reasons for this is that to my knowledge of the Church from Highschool DxD, it's fucked up. I mean, have Anderson join the side of the Angels? Of course. Have him join an organization that has a history of abusing their power, in the name of God no less? Fuck no.

Before any of you get on me about referring to Anderson as 'the priest', at that point of time it was from the devils POV. I sy devils, not necessarily out of scorn, but it's far less of a mouthful than Rias and Sona's peerage.

I'm sure I botched something, and if I did, point it out to me.

How did you like his reaction to Asia? Did you like his reaction to Issei? What could I have done different/better? Review, and I will hear from you in the next chapter. G'night!
