'Will I ever see you again?'

'Perhaps when the war is over but who knows. Maybe you and I will still be enemies, or maybe things will change in the future.'

'An Angel saving a Devil, I have a hard time thinking anyone will even think it's possible.'

'I deliver justice unto those who have wronged others and in your case, saving you from a hellish fate.'

'Yes and I'm eternally grateful for that. If...if things change, can we meet again?'

'....I don't know, now go...I must continue my mission.' The silver-haired Devil then left the Angel all to himself to fight the old Satanic faction. She looked back one final time as the Angel opened up his wings, getting ready for the incoming blood shed.

Present day
Somewhere in Japan
Mid-day

The story of the Ghost Rider was being spread around like wild fire when people saw the news of corruption making the headlines around the world. A man in his late 20's was outside a local food stall waiting on his meal when he overheard the news cast of his dealings in China.

News Anchor:"The 'Ghost Rider' struck again and saved many innocent young woman and girls from dozens of brothels. What looked like several statues made of stone turned out to be actual Chinese businessemen that were burned and turned to stone. The myth of the Ghost Rider dates back to dozens of years..."

Shopkeeper: "Here's your order sir."

???:"Thanks."

Shopkeeper: "Say, what's an American like you doing out here in Japan?"

???:"Does it matter to you?"

Shopkeeper:"Not really it's just...we don't get many Americans out in the country side you know? I'm not trying to be offense or anything but I'm surprised you speak fluent Japanese."

???:"...my mother was Japanese." He replied while eating his noodles. He payed the shopkeeper then got up to smoke a cigarette.


'Y/n, you should stop smoking so much. It's bad for you health you know.'

'Haha, it's fine, it's fine. I won't be going anywhere and if I did, you would beat my ass back to the living.'

'Gosh, the only person who could make you listen would be your mother. If only she were here...'

'...yeah...ain't that right.'

Y/n:"These fucking memories are driving me insane. Whatever, I should find a place to stay and shower...smell like sulfur." He then got atop his motorcycle and drove off, heading to the direction of strong Devil activity.

Kuoh City
Kuoh Academy
Student council room

Rias:"Why have you called all of us here, brother?"

Sona:"I'm curious to know as to why she's here too?" She asked while being smothered in a hug by one of the Great Satans, Serafall Leviathan.

Sera:"Aw, don't be like that Sona-chan. Being a Satan is very demanding and I need to charge up on my little sister energy."

Sona:"Goodness."

Sirzechs:"Well that's one way to start but I presume you all have heard of the recent news regarding a certain Rider?" The two heirs then looked at each other and immediately knew what the topic was about.

Rias:"We have...it's the Spirit of Vengeance isn't it?"

Sirzechs:"Yes, and as you two probably know that we, Devils, certainly aren't on good terms with it."

Sona:"I've heard some parts on it but not how he came to be. Wasn't he an Angel before?" Sirzechs then made himself comfortable as he needed to let the two know the backstory of the Rider. Sera backed off of Sona to allow her to pay attention.

Sirzechs:"Zarathos was the Angel of Justice, the most trusted person to the man himself. Back during the war, he alone could wipe out entire armies of the old Satanic faction. At one point, he  almost wiped out our armies as well but stopped when he noticed our intentions."

Sona:"What was that?"

Sirzechs:"The intention of wanting to change the Underworld for the better. The idea of creating a better place for all Devils to live together freely and equally, just as it is now. As I was saying, we had a spy in the old Satanic faction that helped us during the war. I'm guessing you two probably already know who it is?"

Rias:"Grayfia"

Sirzechs:"Correct, before we found her. She told us of how an Angel saved her and not just any Angel but Zarathos himself. She was about to be taken prisoner by the capturing army and their general when they found out about her betrayal. They killed her entire family clan and caught her, I thought she was only hallucinating but when she took us back to where she was caught. It was a complete massacre, dozens upon dozens of Satanists littered the Lucifuge front. Sera and myself then believed her when we saw the most gigantic pair of wings ever just floating above us. He could've ended us then and there but didn't, he was only looking at Grayfia as she was looking at him."

Sera:"It was unreal, the amount of bodies that were everywhere. His power was unmatched back then."

Rias:"Then what made him become the way he is now?"

Sirzechs:"An old Devil, one that was thought to be just made up, Mephisto. One day we received word that the Satanists wanted Zarathos to be their own weapon if they could capture him. They tried and failed time and time again until Mephisto showed up. He tortured, corrupted, and beaten his soul beyond repair. He twisted Zarathos' mind and soul until he broke, becoming a monster."

Sirzechs:"Mephisto had help of course, and that was a group of Devils that were on our side. Those Devils were afraid that the Angel might come after them when the war was over since they didn't know about him fully. Zarathos killed them all upon his escape while Mephisto vanished into thin air, up to this day it's said to never approach the Spirit so freely as he can annihilate you. I want the two of you to tell you peerages of this and to make sure if you see him, report the sighting back immediately." He ordered as he gained a nod from the both of them.

Rias:"But how come Grayfia isn't with you?" She asked. Sirzechs and Sera both looked at each other then at Rias with a sad look.

Sera:"Say, if you were to be saved from a terrible fate such as becoming a prisoner in the enemies army, wouldn't you be grateful and joyful?" Rias nodded.

Sirzechs:"Grayfia fell in love with Zarathos after he saved her. She wanted the war to be over as soon as possible to find him and find a way to be with him. When we caught wind of his capture, she broke down into tears and grief for days. Sera did her best to make Grayfia feel better but nothing worked and then one day, we saw him. No longer the Angel he once was, but a monster born out of Hellfire and vengeance."

Sirzechs:"His appearance from back then may have change as times have also changed. Grayfia fainted when she saw his appearance, he nearly killed us all that day."

Sona:"But aren't you and Grayfia married? How did she overcome her grief?"

Sirzechs:"We're only married so other men could not take her hand in marriage. She pitched the idea that if we were to marry then people would leave her alone and if by some miracle, Zarathos were to come back, then she would go to him immediately. I mean you two have never seen us act lovey-dovey before, right? That's because we became good friends when myself, Serafall, and my mother all helped her overcome her sadness." He answered. As they were about to continue, the schools bell rang signifying the start of the first class.

*Ding-dong.*

Sirzechs:"Well, we would like to stay and chat but we'll be gone for a couple of days to prepare for the meeting between the three factions."

Sera:"Ohhh~, Sona-chan I'll miss you!"

Rias:"Well, if anything pops up we will let you know, brother." The two heiress' got up and saw the two out of the student council room. When the 2 Great Satans left, Sona went outside the room and brought in their peerages inside.

Akeno:"So President, what did Lord Lucifer need?"

Tsubaki:"Madam, did they require anything of us?" Rias and Sona looked at each other to see who would explain. Sona just gave a headnod to Rias so she can go first.

Rias:"I'm assuming we all know about the current knews of a certain Ghost?" The peerages all gasped and knew what the topic was going to be about. Koneko, being Nekomata, felt a cold wave hit her as she thought the myth to be fake.

Kiba:"We have, is this what it was about?"

Sona:"Yes, our older siblings told us to be weary of the Rider and to not approach him. If you see him or come across anything left being by him, we need to be informed as to contact the Satans." A white-haired girl then raised her hand to speak.

Momo:"Then what if he notices us? What if we're captured and killed?"

Rias:"The Ghost Rider only kills when the person is either guilty of terrible sins or if you just piss him off in general. As long as you don't attack him, you should be fine but that doesn't mean get up-close. He doesn't like us, Devils, and he will most likely take extreme caution when around us so be careful."

All:"Yes ma'am!"

Rias:"Very well then, all of you are excused and can go to class. Be careful and be safe after schools over." They all then left to their classes to get school over with.

Kuoh City
Sometime in the early evening.

As school had ended long ago, Akeno and Rias stayed in the ORC clubroom to continue their regular duties of contracts. Koneko and Kiba had left to do their business earlier in the day while keeping an eye out for the Rider.

Akeno:"Do you think he will come here? To Kuoh, I mean."

Rias:"I wouldn't doubt it, there's a ton of young Devils here and I'm certain he can sense our presence. If the Rider does come by then we must make it our top priority to not fight but to try and talk. I don't want any one of you or anyone else to die."

Akeno:"I hope so." As she said that, a loud revving was heard as the two went to the window to check what the sound was. When they got there, a man atop a motorcycle was seen taking off.

Akeno:"Well that was certainly interesting. Do you think he was waiting for someone or was he a stalker?"

Rias:"No, but did you see?"

Akeno:"See what?"

Rias:"He was looking at us both. The distance from the road to the clubroom is large and we would have barely been seen. He was staring at us before we even got to the window." This freaked them both out, since they both have enhanced eyesight from being a Devil they saw him perfectly fine.

Akeno:"He was probably already looking this way, he may have been looking at the school and landed upon our direction when we got to the window."

Rias:"Perhaps but still, that man's presence felt off."

Short chapter as I couldn't think of much else. Firstly, Sirzechs son doesn't exist in this story as Grayfia and him are married as a form of protection for her. Secondly, our character is Zarathos and not us being a host of somekind. Thirdly, when I mentioned us having a mother, we are adopted when she found us in a bad shape but that will be explained in later chapters. Peace!
