DXD OVERLORD

AWAKENING DRAGON Location the Humanworld, Japan-Kuoh: Outskirts of Kuoh

Laharl, he'd just took out the stray that entered Kuoh. He was waiting for Sona. That way he can directly show her the job is done. He still hasn't stored away his Zanbato, all he has done was swipe his massive blade in the air, flicking the stray blood off of the Zanbato. That said blood, it managed to get on the cowarding Saji, freaking him out even more. Saji, he couldn't move, but that's when he heard a familiar spoke out.

Sona, she teleported outside of the small clearing that Laharl-kun mention he was in. Seeing said devil, with his massive Zanbato on his shoulder. She called out, "Laharl-kun!!" walking into the clearing. Sona immediately noticed the dead Stray, as she adjusted her glasses, and smiled at Laharl for doing, such a good job, but before she'd could say anything. Both she and Laharl noticed a huge burst of magical, right next to them, when Genshirou Saji emerged from the bushes. With something wrapped onto his right hand, as he swung at Laharl.

Just a few moments ago. When Saji, he heard the voice of Sona, the girl he was falling for badly. And she came into view of this psycho killer, called Laharl. All the fear was suddenly, as something primal almost instinctual wanted to protect what is his!! As something within his very soul wanted to rush out and attack the threat to Sona. As his instinct, rage, and desires were so great that it awaken the partial dragon inside his soul. A black, fingerless gauntlet manifested onto his right hand. This is one of the Vritra parts, the Black Prison Dragon King's sacred gear, Absorption Line!!

LAHARL VS. SAJI Location Kuoh Outskirts: Battle Site

Saji emerged from his hiding spot. His face still covered in specs of blood. With the Absorption Line active and his dragon instincts messing with his head. His desire to protect what his, the need to strike down a threat, and eliminate a rival all amplified by the most obsessive of the dragon kings. Despite Vritra being split into four sacred pieces. Along with his consciousness and overall power being also split, any draconian sacred gear, has a high effect on the user's mentality, like right now.

As Saji awoke his sacred gear and attacked. Laharl look at the punk, discount second dragon of DXD. He didn't move, or show worries, since any recently Sacred Gear user, always started out emotional unstable, and ignorant of their sacred gear full potential. As this punk was charging in with a crowd control type power, in other to punk him. So Laharl, he didn't guard or move, instead he attacked. By kicking Saji in the stomach, making him gasp, bend around Laharl's foot before he was blasted away. Smashing into a tree. Sona gasped in surprise, at the sight of Saji attacking Laharl and then be kicked away.

She rushed towards the downed boy. Who seems unconscious at the base of the tree. When Laharl noticed what Sona was doing, he tried to stop her!! But she was already beside Saji, turning her head to Laharl, when a mauve colored, glowing line emerged from Saji's gauntlet. Wrapping around the surprised Sona, as she suddenly felt her strength and energy was being drained from her body. She let out a uncomfortable sound, as Saji was starting to stand back, his bones cracking but the power that was surging into his being, were making things better. As he said, "I'm sorry Souna...I'll make it better soon. I'll kill this bastard, before he can hurt you. I told you. I told you. He was no good...so give all your power and I'll win for us..." when he was punched by Laharl. While he gave a "heroic"...more delusional...monolog, Laharl, he struck to save Sona. His punch strong enough to crack the skull of Saji, blood gushing from his nose, and mouth. His Absorption Line released its hold on Sona, and the blow was strong enough to break through the tree and sent flying out the clearing. Laharl, he took the opportunity to wrap his scarf around Sona, and get away from Saji, especially after he absorb the power of a pure-blood high-class devil.

She groaned in clear discomfort, as she gripped Laharl-kun's scarf. She look at the boy that was protecting her. As she asked, "What wrong with Genshirou-san?" Laharl not taking his eyes off, the punk that was slowly getting back up. He told his friend, that Saji awoke his sacred gear, a draconian sacred gear. Which is made from Vritra soul, which it's main concepts is obsession and envelope. Having just awaken such a type of sacred gear, must have charged and made his emotion unstable, and lose rationality. Sona looked worried, as Laharl used his scarf to help her stand up, and unwrap her. He told her to get away, his obsession with her would make him dangerous to her, especially in a weaken state, he said he'll try to not kill the punk...but he'd made not promises. She nodded and slowly made her way out of the clearing. Saji saw Sona leave...get away from him, and it made him angry, as he yelled out to Laharl, stretching his right arm and launching a line at his enemy.

Seeing the mauve colored heading toward him. Laharl smashed his Zanbato on the line, not cutting it but stop it and put enough weight to knock Saji onto his knees. Not able to handle the force on his line. Laharl charged in, not with his sword but his left fist drawn back to deliver another punch at the punk. Hitting Saji in the gut again. Knocking down again, and the only cause he was holding back his strength, not going in for the kill, and Saji absorbing Sona's power was he able to survive Laharl's blow, as well as get back up.

This fight if one can call it that. Was entirely one-sided beatdown. Saji would either rush in to punch Laharl, or try to wrap his line on him to absorb his power. But everytime he would get punched, kick or thrown. While his line Laharl would use his Zanbato to block it and cause Saji to lose his balance, with the power and force of every swing his blade against him. Laharl noticed that as their fight went on, the crazier Saji started to scream and yell. Calling him a bastard, psycho, as well that he is unworthy of Souna, and he was gonna beat him for her...all Laharl thought was that either with the next blow he'll knock out Saji, or kill him. He was completely lost to his sacred gear, draconian nature, and it was only holding a fourth of the overall power, ego, and soul of Vritra.

As Saji rushed recklessly in again. With his fist high, as Laharl, he struck. Swinging a powerful left cross to Saji's head but miraculously he'd managed to block by lifting his arm. As a sickening snapping and breaking of bone, with Laharl's punch crushing Saji's right arm and barely managed to protect his head. Knocked hard onto the ground his right arm broken, but it still has the Absorption Line active, meaning Saji was alive, but barely conscious. Sona watching the whole battle from behind a tree, and she was amazed by not only Laharl's power and skill, but restrain which is something he'd disliked to do. She'd originally considered Genshirou-san as a potential peerage member, but after seeing his unstable way he was acting, ever since they'd meet. And his clear disdain for Laharl-kun, she started to rethink her stance on recruiting Saji. Especially now with how crazy he is, suddenly she'd felt something wrap around her shaking leg, as Saji sent another line at her. As the line coiled around her and started to drain her again!!

She struggled and screamed. As she felt herself being drained, and Saji was getting back up. Feeling stronger, as he laughed and started saying, "Souna... Thank you, you showing yourself, help me get back up. I promise I'll make it up to you later. For now give me more pow..." when suddenly he gasped. Blood burst out his mouth and body. Cause a huge blade was coming out his chest, he was stabbed in the back by Laharl. As Laharl's Zanbato gleam in the moonlight and blood trickled off of it. Suddenly as the line around Sona faded, she used the tree to support herself and watched Saji die, Laharl-kun could have killed Saji at any time but for her he'd held back, and for her he went for the kill at last. Saji's strength and vitality were swiftly fading away, when suddenly his sacred gear started to glow and power started to surge into the Zanbato...in a lab of a certain pervert, and sacred gear obsessed man, another piece of Vritra started glowing in bright light...as Laharl's sword was engulfed in this power, neither Sona or Laharl knew what was happening. When suddenly Saji's body was engulfed in dark purple flames, Laharl pulled his Zanbato lose and it was coated in those same flames. He recognized them as the Blaze Black Flare's cursed flames, but he didn't understood why his blade was making them.

Then his Zanbato turned into light and banished from Laharl's hands. He still have it since he felt it...inside his soul. He decided to investigate what happened later, as he walked passed the dead and burning body of Genshirou Saji. Going to check on Sona, who was still weak, and barely was able to keep straight, he'd helped her by picking her up, princess carry. Making her blush, and subtlety snuggle into his chest, as Laharl, he turned his scarf into his devil wings and took off, the winner of this "fight".

VRITRA ZANBATO Location the Bael Residence: Krichevskoy Mansion, Top Floor; Roof

It's been a couple days, since the whole Saji situation. Sona was recovering, under the watch of her peerage. He'd made sure to tell Sona that he'll handle Saji's family, as just yesterday he altered their memories making it as if he'd died long ago with their parents, while also making sure with the girls help erase all memories of Saji being alive from his friends and acquaintances. He looked at the wooden scenery around his mansion, and said out loud, "What a way to go. Saji the bootlick Issei, reduced to ash and obscurity. He'd should have just given up, and live his life a background character..." sighing, as he didn't care or regretted killing Saji, when he was off his rocker. But now he'll have to focus on making Sona and her girls stronger still to make-up for the blank that Saji left behind. Well at least Kiba got himself a harem, as stated before a bro watches out his bro.

Then his thoughts turned to what happened after he killed Saji, his Zanbato changed. He'd remembered that his mom told him that Zanbato was forged with dragon material. So when he stabbed Saji whatever the dragon that was used to make his blade, must have been a powerful than Vritra. Plus with Vritra being split, his sword must have absorbed a large amount of the Prison Dragon's essence and gained not only the draining power of the Absorption Line, but somehow the Blaze Black Flare cursed flames. He might have accidentally created a artificial sacred gear, caused he still felt his sword was within him. As he stretched out his right arm with a open gloved hand, and focus on his Zanbato and his palm burst into dark purple flames that took the form of his Zanbato, and his sword emerged into his grasp. He noticed a few changes on his massive sword.

On his the base above the large tsuba. The kanji of dragon etched on the blade. His Zanbato's tsuka also gained some changes, it was still wrapped in red tsukamaki, but a blacking-purple serpent dragon coil around the handle. The kashira change into a blackish-purple dragon head biting down as a chain-link. He felt that Zanbato has evolved in a way that he'd never expect it to. Laharl felt the power of the former Prison Dragon surging through the blade, with a swing of his sword cause the blade to ignite in cursed flames, completely under his command, as he sent a mental order to quell the cursed flames. He smiled as his sword has become even more incredible, turning his blade onto it side and inspected it once over again. Laharl, he decided to add to its name, "You are Vritra Zanbato for now on."

He felt a small pulse from his sword, almost like showing him amusement at the name. As he banish it, and Vritra Zanbato faded away, returning into his soul. Laharl, he'd never expected that he'd obtain a sacred gear, especially since the Big G. made them exclusive to humanity. The only loophole to this rule, is that if the user is a half-human like the White Dragon Emperor, Vali Lucifer, the fight-monger. So aside from Saji's destruction, the end result was obviously good. As he decided to go back down, and spent time with his girl, walking over to the door that leds to the stairs.
