Morrigan said nothing and kept her gaze on the door with a smile on her face, while Lugh looked at the surrounding Gods with worry. 'Maybe Scathach won't come, she has to know that half the Gods here want her head after all. Oh who am I kidding she'd probably see it as some extra fun,' sighed the Sun God.
The first half of the meeting went as planned before they heard a knock on the door, bringing a confused look to everyone's but Lugh and Morrigan's faces. Fodla, the Goddess of Ireland, was the one who got up to answer the door only for an expression of horror to cross her face as she slammed the door shut before locking and barricading it.
No one said a word as the stared at the Goddess in shock before they saw a dreadfully familiar red spear stab through the door, Fodla just backed away from the door as it was broken down. "Oi Dadga, your hospitality could use a bit of work," commented Scathach as she walked in and saw shocked and horrified expressions on everyone's faces.
"Scathach, what are you doing here?" growled the leader of the Celts.
"Oh, I invited her Dagda," announced Morrigan, struggling to keep an amused smirk off her face.
here was silence as the Celts all turned to Morrigan in shock while Dagda's eye began twitching. "Did you now? Tell me Morrigan, why did you do that?" he gritted out the clenched teeth.
"Oh don't be like that Dagda, Morrigan and I tell each other everything. We're quite close these days," smirked the Godslayer, her unspoken message causing everyone to frown as they tried to figure out how Morrigan had got in Scathach's favor.
"I see, then why are you here Scathach?" questioned Dagda.
"I wanted to make you all an offer," replied the Immortal Witch.
"And what's that?" asked the leader of the Celts with an intrigued expression, even as most of the other Gods began edging towards the exit.
"Simple, first I want you to officially acknowledge that the Land of Shadows belongs to me and my faction, no one else," stated the witch.
"That won't be too big of an issue no one goes there anymore thanks to you anyway," answered the leader of the Celts.
"Next I want free passage for me and my faction around the Otherworld," continued the witch.
"That will not be so easy to grant Scathach, besides what will you offer us in exchange?" replied Dagda with a frown.
The Godslayer gained a dark smile, "you mean aside from you all leaving here alive? Well I've been given authority by my faction's leader to make a mutual defense treaty."
"Which means what?" asked the God of Life curiously.
"If either of us is attacked then the other will come to their aid," explained Scathach, relishing the shocked silence coming from her audience.
"Dadga you cannot be seriously considering this! She killed Danu! She can't be trusted!" cried Luchta, shock as they saw the leader of the Celts adopt an intrigued expression.
Scathach smiled as she played her trump card, "if the Formorians really are returning then you'll need all the help you can get Dagda."
The God of Life took a deep breath as he replied, "this is a bigdecision you want me to make Scathach, I will need some time to ponder it."
The Godslayer shrugged before she dismissed Gae Bolg and headed for the door, "have Morrigan inform me once you've made your decision."
The collective Celtic deities all let out a breath they didn't know they were holding as they watched Scathach leave. "So Morrigan are you happy?" sighed Lugh as everyone turned to face them.
"At least no one was killed," shrugged the Goddess.
"Morrigan, Lugh, when we you planning to tell us that Scathach had joined a faction?" asked Dagda with an expectant expression.
"We were going to after the current meeting's topics had been discussed," answered Lugh with a sigh.
"I think they can be put on the waiting list for now, just what has happened out there we've been residing in the Otherworld?" frowned Fodla.
Morrigan just shrugged, "the world's changed and not even Scathach can fight that. If you would stop isolating yourselves you might have noticed that."
"Which is why you two are going to tell us everything that has happened, Scathach wouldn't do this on a whim. Something has her spooked and anything that can make the Godslayer worried is something we need be fearful of," announced Dagda.
"I'm so sorry, I not only failed to take him down but I lost Mimic to him as well," cried Irina as they walked into Issei's house.
"Don't worry about it Irina, Xenovia and I'll still take him down. I already have an idea forming but it means we'll need to get Rias' help," replied Issei.
"I loathe that we need their help for this, but I suppose it's a necessary evil," grumbled Xenovia.
"What about Asia and I?" questioned Irina.
"Don't know, the plan is pretty much a work in progress after all," replied Issei with a shrug as he collapsed onto the couch. "Irina, Asia, you two can have the beds. Xenovia, unfortunately you'll have to settle for a futon. Is that alright?"
"That shall be fine," replied the blue haired exorcist with a nod.
"Alright, night guys. We'll head over to the ORC in the morning," yawned Issei as the trio nodded in agreement.
However, just as they were about to go sleep they all heard a loud bang before the building began shaking, purple runes glowing along the walls as the Boundary Field activated. There was another bang followed by the house shaking again as they four of them saw cracks appearing on the living room wall.
"Irina, Asia go and get my dad. Make sure he's okay!" ordered Issei, getting nods from the two girls in question as they rushed upstairs.
Meanwhile Xenovia summoned Durandal again as she and Issei overturned a table and crouched behind it. "Are you going to use Boosted Gear?" asked the blue haired exorcist, making his eyes widen.
"So you saw that huh? Well in that case, you ready Ddriag?" he smirked as the red gauntlet appeared over his arm.
[Ready as always partner.]
"Alright once that wall is blown open I want you to charge in and distract them until I get close, then we'll give Arthur a big surprise," ordered Issei with a grin.
"Understood," replied Xenovia with a nod.
[BOOST!]
Suddenly light flooded into the room as the wall was blown apart and Xenovia immediately leapt over the table, only for an arrow to strike her arm while she was still in the air. The exorcist cried out in pain as she crumbled to the ground, Durandal falling from her hand as it hit the floor with a loud clang.
"Well that takes care of one problem," said a female voice. "I know you're there boy, come on out or I'll kill your friend here."
Issei just gritted his teeth in frustration as he rose from behind the table and saw a woman with long white, a long white dress the turned to a shade of orange at the ends and a large white bow held in her hands.
[Not go
od partner, you need to run now! That's Artemis!]
"Xenovia, get out of here now! I'll take care of her!" ordered Issei.
