"Which is where we come in." Rias opined, turning to face them all "Issei, you'll be providing support for Akeno and I by transferring your boosted power to us when the time is right." She turned to the others "In the meantime, we'll buy Issei the time he needs to fully Charge the Transfer."
"What about Asia-san?" Shirou asked, nodding towards the blonde Bishop who was huddlin next to Issei and fidgeting nervously with her skirt "No offence meant, but she doesn't look like a fighter to me."
"Asia will be providing support along with Issei." Rias assured the Faker, smiling warmly at the newest member of her peerage before turning to face Shirou "However, I'd appreciate it greatly if you could watch out for them, Emiya-Kun."
"I don't need his help, Buchou!" Issei countered, the perverted Pawn stepping between his King and the faker, clenching his fist determinedly "I'll protect Asia-chan with my life if need be!"
"Under normal circumstances I wouldn't doubt it, Issei." Rias assured her perverted Pawn with a fond smile even as Asia blushed shyly "But our opponent is Kokabiel, and he's gathered three of the Seven Excaliburs together." She glanced down at his Sacred Gear "Since you can't attack without resetting the charge, I'd feel better knowing you had someone to intervene in the event they try something underhanded."
"I'm fine with providing support." Shirou assured her, ignoring the resigned glare Issei was sending his way "Though I hope you don't mind if I take a few pot-shots if I see an opening to do so."
"By all means." Rias chuckled, though her smile didn't quite extend to her eyes "Though I feel I should warn you: If you do anything to put their lives at risk, I will never forgive you."
"Join the cue." Shirou shot back, earning a look of confusion from the Devils as they pressed onward, Issei promoting to Queen to heighten his Demonic Powers before activating the charge function of the Boosted Gear as they approached the track field, where the pillar of light shone.
As they drew closer, Shirou realised what he'd assumed to be a pillar was more of a helix, stemming from several magic circles gathered around a central point. Standing outside the circle was none other than Valper Galilei, the Archbishop's face stretched in rapture as he gazed upon the hovering forms of the stolen Excaliburs in the centre of the formation.
"Hey, Emiya." Issei whispered, his tone low to avoid drawing attention until they were in a better position "You're the Wizard here right? What the hell is that old guy doing with the Excaliburs?"
"I'm a Magus." Shirou corrected pointedly "And as I've said before, not much of one. The most I can tell is that he's probably tapped into a local leylines to power whatever ritual he's got going, but as to what it's for, you've got me."
"It would appear the good Archbishop has harboured a desire to re-forge the Seven Excaliburs into a single sword since he first learned of their being shattered." Kokabiel's voice called out from on high, the group looking up in alarm to find the Fallen reclining on an ornate throne in the middle of the sky with one cheek resting on his knuckles and his legs crossed almost lazily "Though if I'd known it would take this long I never would have agreed to wait."
"It's nearly done, Lord Kokabiel." Valper stammered hurriedly, the Archbishop clearly fearing for his life should the Genocidal Fallen's patience give out "In less than five minutes the ritual will be complete."
"Is that so?" Kokabiel mused, sounding placated for the moment "Very well, I leave that to you." He conceded, Valper releasing a sigh of relief as the Fallen turned his attention back to Rias "So tell me, Daughter of House Gremory, is Sirzechs coming? Or Serafall?" his eyes widened in anticipation "Or did you take my request seriously and call for both?"
"My honoured brother's reinforcements will be here in an hour." Rias assured the Fallen, her tone smug as she matched his glare "However, it will be a moot point, as we'll have taken you down by then-!"
If Shirou hadn't been watching for it, if the Fallen's attitude didn't remind him of his fight with Gilgamesh, he never would have seen it coming. As it were, the moment Kokabiel snapped his fingers, the Faker was already tackling Asia and Issei to the ground, ignoring the Pawn's cries in favour of covering them with his body as the Fallen summoned what appeared to be a spear composed of pure light and hurled it at the Gym, his eyes narrowing as the wind and dust died down to reveal the spear standing in the middle of a barren crater where the building once stood.
"Neither huh? Tch, how boring." Kokabiel muttered, his derision apparent as he snapped his fingers once more, dispelling the Spear of Light in a manner so similar to the way Archer dispelled his swords that Shirou felt professionally insulted "Oh well, I'm sure you'll provide some measure of entertainment."
After Kokabiel's attack...
"Holy shit…" Issei whispered, his whole body trembling with fear as he watched the spear of light vanish back into the ether "You gotta be kidding…he can toss something that big around like it's nothing? Raynare's was a toothpick compared to that!"
"Don't tell me you're scared, Partner?" Ddraig chastised his host, the gem on the Boosted Gear lighting up at his words "You knew going into this that this guy was on a different level from the ones you fought before. Remember, he's an Angel from antiquity who survived fighting against God and the Old Satans after falling from heaven."
"I suppose you'd know, seeing as you probably fought him yourself." Issei mused, earning a quirked brow from the Faker, who didn't know of the Dragon's history "So do you think we stand a chance here?"
"If worst comes to worst, we'll beat him even if I have to turn most of your body into a dragon." Ddraig assured the Pawn "That way, even if you can't beat him, he won't be able to move for an hour, in which case we can leave things for the Satan to clean up."
