Darkness and Light, Into the Chaos!

Kalin sighed as he watched Issei struggle up the hill, everyone else passing him as he did. "Okay, Koneko and Kiba I get. Sylvannas I can at least pretend to understand, but how the hell did Kuroka get by him when she's easily the laziest one here?" he asked Rias in clear annoyance.

"He's only been a devil for a few months, give him some credit." Rias replied.

"And getting passed by Asia?" Kalin countered. "Your pawn needs some help."

"He needs to improve his strength, you said so yourself." Rias argued. Realizing a losing battle, Kalin let it go. "You said your other servants would be joining us later?"

"Yeah. My second knight should be getting here in a few hours, and Talia will be getting here after she's done with the wrestling event Merlin wanted her help with." Kalin replied with a shrug. "Did you make the call I asked about?"

"Yes." Rias replied, looking to her queen. "She's gonna be pissed."

"Tell her it was my idea. Only makes sense if one of us is her target."

...

After everyone had settled into the villa, Kalin laid out the plan. "Alright, for now we're going to be training as follows. Asia is passing each of you an envelope that will detail what Rias and I came up with for each of you." As the king spoke, the blonde bishop handed each devil an envelope. "I understand if some of these things seem hard, but we need your help if we're going to pull this plan off and that means you all being in your top condition."

Everyone opened their letter, and Akeno was the first to react. "What the hell, Rias?" she demanded.

"It was my idea, Akeno." Kalin sighed, knowing this reaction was coming. "Trust me, if you don't we'll fail. That't the last thing any of us want." Akeno shot a thunderbolt at Kalin, which he promptly swallowed. "What is it with you guys and shooting magic at me? You know it doesn't work." he chuckled.

"You have your orders, everyone get to work." Rias ordered. Everyone left the room, leaving the kings alone. "Sorry about Akeno."

"Quite frankly, I'm surprised Koneko didn't respond similarly." Kalin replied with a shrug. "Anyway, we should get moving too. I'll be teaching you about hand-to-hand combat."

...

Rias let out a gasp of pain as Kalin slammed her against the mat of the gym. Again. "You're still putting too much weight onto one side. You have to keep it even." The brunette king was saying. Rias stood and dusted herself off, getting back into her fighting position. "At least you're getting that right every time now. Again." Rias dashed forward, aiming a punch at Kalin's abdomen.

She came to a screaching halt when a spell circle appeared by her ear. "Say that again Akeno, what's going on? What? How is she alive?" Rias conjured a teleportation circle. "I'm on my way."

Kalin stepped into the circle and both transported to Akeno's location. Rias gasped at the sight of the dark haired woman in the S&M outfit standing across from her queen. Kalin just stepped forward as he sighed. "I thought I told you to meet us at the villa. It's about twenty meters that way." he chided, pointing his thumb in the direction of the house. "Why are you all the way over here, Raynare?"

"Sorry, I sensed a familiar magic and came to see if it was Kuroka." Raynare replied. "I wanted to say hi, but I got caught up with little miss watermelon chest over there."

"Yeah, we're kinda training with them." Kalin sighed.

"You know my history with them, Kalin." Raynare snapped.

"Can you explain this, Kalin?" Rias demanded.

"Sure." Kalin shrugged, turning to the red-haired girl. "This is my second knight, Raynare."

No one guessed it! I said it was the first supernatural Issei actually encountered and no one guessed that R was Raynare! Well, that's it for this chapter, vote on the poll on my home page to keep this story going, and I'll be back later. Until next time!
