The Succubus leaves for school from her home, while being unaware that she is being watched carefully, "This spell, really works huh Girai?", says a demon, watching Succubus from a rooftop of the building nearby the road she is walking on, with a group of four demons.
"You bet it is, its called the Hiransai, a spell that completely conceals a few person's presence at the same time, although it can only be casted by powerful beings of all kinds, including strong demons, such as Senryuya", says another demon.
"Enough talk, keep your eyes on our prey", says Senryuya, with a very serious and scary expression - the others quickly moves their eyeballs towards Succubus on the road.
In a while, Succubus reaches school and when attending class, "What is this feeling, its as if I'm being watched..... I don't sense anything around here though, is it that Fallen Angel? No, I could detect her.... and even now I can tell she is far away from here... who is it then? She can't be watching me", she stops thinking for a while and then again continues to think, "Now that I think of her, that blade.... it had a long handle and had a red piece of cloth wrapped in between its handle and the blade... could that be what I think it is... ?", thinks Succubus.
Then, while the class progresses, she feels something hitting her head hard and then she feels her brain pulse once very hard, "We have you now, Succubus", speaks a voice within her head.
"What? ...What is this... ?", thinks back, Succubus. "It is I? Do you not remember me, your father?!", speaks the voice again, this time, even louder. "Y-You can't be... ", replies Succubus, hesitant to speak further.
"You..... ", Succubus, tensed while everything around her is normal, but to her, its as if she is on a vortex, except that the wind is not taking doing anything to her body, the feeling itself is unpleasant even for her.
"It is time, you give up... this whole building is surrounded by my minions, all ready to annihilate everything upon my signal, do as i tell and we shall spare all in here", says her father, threatening her.
"Fine..... ", surrenders Succubus, just like that.
***
"I see, so you renamed yourself huh?", replies Twilight.
"Well I had to, I can't have a guy's name now can I?", says Rise.
Twilight replies with a, "True!", after getting up from the swings and she continues, "Anyway, you, becoming a spiritual warrior? Hmmm..... has Milady planned all of this? I wonder... ".
"Again with the 'Lady'..... Seriously, who is she?", asks Rise, after she frowns.
"First tell me who brought you here to this world?", asks Twilight.
"It was someone with the name Vesparia. Why do you ask?", asks Rise.
"I see, before I can tell you anything, I must ask her since she brought you here", answers Twilight.
Walks off, Twilight. Rise follows her, without any thought, almost instinctively, she walks behind her.
***
At a certain mansion, "Misa, stop performing the Soul fist!", says an aged man, very angry. "But father! I have to practice it!", the girl replies, stopping from throwing her fist and then continues, "In order to become a spiritual warrior, I need to become stronger!".
"No you don't have to! You are a member of the Nakahara family, a royal family of Alchemists and priestesses, as the one who has 'Nakahara' as her surname, your duty is to become a powerful Alchemist AND the great pristess, weren't I clear about this in the past, HUH?!! And even now Hibiki comes to inform me of your activities on this practice room!", her father yells at her.
"Well I told you before that I want to become a spiritual warrior like Onee-sama! If she can be a spiritual warrior then why can't I be one too?!", asks back and argues Misa.
"No you can't, you don't have what it takes! Now get out of here!", her father yells again.
"Hmph.... ", reluctantly, Misa runs away from the room, wiping her tears before they were about to go down her cheeks.
Later, on her room, Misa, sobbing and crying, her heart tore once again by her father, "I've had enough of this house... ", she says, wiping her tears and making spirited eyes, she continues, "Lets see how you feel after I do THIS!!", she gets up, packs her small bag taking in various things in it and then stands - taking a stance and then spreading her legs, facing the window, she threw a fist on the air towards it, blue wave launches like a beam from her hand - breaking the glasses on her window. She then says, "Hah! That's the fruit of my hard training bearing fruit!".
She then starts to cough and says, "I don't have the time for this.... ", jumping out the window after saying so, she runs away from the mansion.
***
Its recess, Succubus waited for this time to come, she goes to the rooftop of the school and stands on the center of the place.
"Here I am, you wanted me to come here right, father?", Succubus, angry and annoyed and has her forehead frowned.
"Good job, Succubus!", says her father within her mind, then a red, glowing, pentagram, appears - Succubus faints and collapses.
The red orb then appears in front of her collapsed body, "Now, take her away!", says the red orb of light, five men then lands speedily behind him and replies with, "Yes master!!", and takes her away.
***
A month has passed, it is August 7th currently.
"Master, all preparations are done for the tower", informs Senryuya to the the red orb, Succubus's father.
"Good, begin the materialization now", he replies.
"Yes!", they reply and leave in an instant.
"This tower, the retriever tower, shall lead us to THAT on the sky and also allow us to open a portal to the celestial world as well, HAHAHAHAHAHA!!", speaks to himself, the red orb.
***
"Have you found Misa yet?", asks the Fallen Angel, "No Ojou-sama, we're sorry, but we can't find her at all!", answers the head maid, Hibiki, "Did they search every nook and crenny of the city yet? I won't be at ease until we find her... ", replies Fallen Angel.
"I've already had all the maids deployed around the city everywhere, Ojou-sama, they should be able to find her soon, also, we've found out a certain demonic activity at the center of this city, Ojou-sama", says Hibiki.
"I know, that's why I want her to be found immediately, she may be in danger if she stays out any longer, that symbol, if it gets stolen, then it'll get nasty... I shall go to the site where the demonic activity is taking place, make sure you find Misa and bring her home safely", says Fallen angel.
"Yes, Ojou-sama", says Hibiki and leaves.
***
The Fallen angel reaches the area where the demonic activity takes place, and finds herself standing in front of a tower, a large and tall tower, which reached above the clouds, "So its a tower that is invisible to the ordinary people huh? With several entrances too... I guess I'll have to enter it and destroy the core that is powering its existence", says Fallen Angel.
Upon entering, it was empty, she moved and went up two floors, then found many demons on the dark, many red eyes leered at her.
Meanwhile, Misa, comes to the tower, sensing the presence, she was determined to go in, "This time, I'll put an end to this demonic activity and everyone will appreciate me!", encouraging herself, she also enters the tower.
Fallen angel, killing the demons, she advances on to the next floors and finally reaches a gate, a gigantic gate, with all kinds of mythical markings carved in it.
The gate glows, opening in front of her and allowing her to enter - she enters - upon entering, she finds the red orb, Succubus's father, facing her, "So you came at last, Fallen angel, the one tossed away from the holy worlds for being a fool!
"Hmph, well you're a bigger fool for never being able to get in on the holy worlds", replies calmly, Fallen angel.
"Shut up!", enraged, Succubus's father, then he continues, "Do you really think we won't reach those worlds? Then you are foolish, we've already created a portal with this tower's power and it was able to establish a connection with the celestial world!", he laughs after saying so.
"WHAT?!! That can't be, great evil spirits, devils and demons, much less any other kinds of beings than the celestial beings shouldn't be able to do that!", replies, Fallen angel. "HAH! That's what you think, well this tower was designed to reach out to you fools and destroy all of you!", replies Succubus's father.
He then speaks again, "But don't worry, because you won't live after this point on anyway!". After he says so, stones from the floor, ceiling and all over, comes to him, the stones then turns red - a red golem forms in front of Fallen angel. "Any last words?", says Succubus's father, confidently.
"None, because this won't be the end of me!", says the Fallen Angel, she draws her katana, from the sheathe on her loose belt.
"The blade that has a red piece of cloth tied around it on between its handle and the blade..... ? It can't be... ", Succubus's father, hesitant. "Yes it is, it is that sword that you think it is, prepare to meet your demise!", says Fallen angel, who then dashes towards him. "Hmph, even with that magical sword of that caliber, it is still not enough! Do you really think you can beat a Dark God such as me, even if I'm partially here through the dark gem? Don't even get started with-", he gets interrupted, as Fallen angel strikes his armor of stones - making a large scar.
"Confidence is good, but overconfidence? Not good~", teases Fallen angel. "That was beginner's luck, it won't happen again", replies the Dark God.
Fallen angel attempts to attack him again with her katana, this time, after she dashes towards him and tries to hit him again, he catches the katana with with his left arm.
He says, "Got you now", and then stones from everywhere around the place comes to his right hand this time, creating a red stone blade after the stones turns red again.
She lets go of her katana when he tries to kill her with his newly-made weapon, stone blade. He then tosses the sword away from them, "HAH! And that's the end for you, without that blade, you can't draw your true power can you? A spiritual warrior only haves a magical sword so that they can draw all their power and to use them in their preferable art, you're done for now!", says Succubus's father and swings the sword at her - making a huge dent on the floor, he repeatedly swings his blade at her and advances forward towards her as she keeps dodging his attacks to the point where she steps on his sword speedily then jumps and lands behind him, taking a stance, spreading her legs wide, she says, "Soul fist!", and then throws a fist to the air towards him.
The power released from her palm goes in and out of his stone-made body, making a hole on his belly, but stones comes from everywhere again to restore it.
She then dashes towards her katana and retrieves it. "Its over huh? As if!", says Fallen angel, her blade glows with a purple aura, "Chains of blinding light", she points her blade towards Succubus's father as she says it - chains glowing with purple light, comes out and catches him in a jiffy, "W-What the, what is this?!", screams out, Succubus's father.
"Its what you see it is!", stabbing his head from the above, within which, the red orb through which Succubus's father was speaking, Fallen angel wins the battle. The red orb, fading away, "You may have won now, but you are too late to stop us now... hahahahaha", laughs Succubus's father as he fades away.
Meanwhile, Misa doesn't face any demons, surprisingly, she reaches the core of the tower, "Hello Ojou-chan!! How are you today?! Hahahahahaha!!", Girai says, Senryuya then says, "Welcome, to the tower of resurrection! Now, prepare to die, young one! You guys will take her on of course, no way I'm staining my pride with fighting a small fry... ", Misa, snaps, "WHY YOU!! HOW DARE YOU?!!"
***
The celestial world gets attacked while Rise was being trained by Vesparia, on a small piece of land floating on the sky, Vesparia and Rise, clashes swords for practice,. The cloud suddenly darkens, the angels looks up to the sky and black portal opens, demons with devils in the front, charges, a great battle amongst good and evil ensues.
Under Vesparia's care, now, Rise is taken back to a church, due to the current situation. where she is. Twilight comes in and says, "The Great Spirit has requested me to come tell the both of you to go to her, I shall accompany the both of you now, we are to bring Rise to the mosque, immediately.
They run their way to the mosque, very speedily, jumping and dashing through the obstacles, rubbles and broken houses, ruined gardens, burned grasslands. Rise thinks to herself, "It was so beautiful before... but now... it all seems so ruined.... just as they start invading, the war causes this... I guess some beautiful things are fragile as well".
They later reach the mosque, after having to even kill a few demons on their way.
"Milady, we're here with Rise, as you have requested", says Vesparia, she kneels down on her, facing the light in front of them, on a somewhat throne within the mosque.
Rise's thought again rises, "A throne completely filled with light, within a mosque.... ? What the hell?".
A voice reaches their ears from the light, "I see, now, I'd like Rise and I to be alone please", it was a female woman's voice, it was very sweet voice.
Twilight and Vesparia leaves and waits outside.
The voice then speaks to Rise, "Do you wish to be a spiritual warrior, Rise? Answer me with honesty, other than your wishes and desires, no chains should bind you and force you become a spiritual warrior, only become a spiritual warrior on your own free will for your own reasons!".
"Yes, after all that happened... I do... for various reasons... I am not forced to become a spiritual warrior in any way", says Rise, both serious and depressed.
"Tell me, your reasons for becoming a spiritual warrior?", asks the voice.
"I want to do what's right... and I want to be strong as well. I feel that having you in me, will guide me to what's right and wrong, that is all, doing what's right includes killing these demons too is it not?", Rise, answers and asks with resolve.
"It sure is the right thing to do, although, becoming stronger depends on you wholly. Very well then, I understand your reasoning, for I wish the same, come to me, into my light... ", the voice speaks.
She enters the throne of light, walking in the middle of the throne, she realized a chair, floating in the middle, barely visible on the bright light, "Sit down on that chair please, Rise", says the voice. Sitting on the floating chair within the light, the light was warm, she felt changes occurring through her body once again.
"Welcome to the life of war, garden of limitless battlefields and the elements that differ everyday normal life and that of those who are involved with magic and supernaturals. Limitless battle may one day consume your life, let us fight together until that day comes and try to fulfill our one duty; Doing what's right and kill the wrongdoers", speaks the voice.
All the light on the throne turn into a single orb of light. Coming before her, the voice tells, "Here goes then".
It enters her, going in on her chest, a few moments later. Her hair turns silver, wings spawns out her back. She opens her silver turned eyes wide and she glows. Slight wind goes throughout the room. Rise gets up from the chair and floats in the air. "You now receive the title of Heaven's Light and so, henceforth on the realm of magic, you shall be known as, 'Rise - The Heaven's Light'".
The chair moves away and falls behind, Rise's eyeballs then moves to a long shining katana below, stabbed on the floor, it was below the chair when it was floating, but Rise could not see it that time, due to the bright light.
"A sword, what's it doing here?", asks Rise. "That is the sword that my spiritual warrior is supposed to use, it is the longest katana in the history of mankind ever created, Seven Heavens sword! Take it, you will need it!", answers the voice,
Rise, takes it up and the blade glows.
"Tell me, who are you?", asks Rise.
"I am a great spirit, my name is Ishtar, the one who is known as the Goddess of Love and War to the humans", says Ishtar from within Rise.
"You're still not ready to fight using my powers, I shall fight alongside you for now to restore peace on both this world and yours, before I sleep within you", says Ishtar.
"Wait, both this world and my world? What do you mean by that?", asks Rise. "It seems that some kind of terrible activity is taking place in your world, we'll return to your world and deal with it after this", answers Ishtar.
"Let me warn you Rise, we may get summoned any time", speaks Ishtar.
"Summoned? W-What do you mean?", asks back Rise.
"It means that a sorcerer or a magic user of some class can summon you anytime, be it in a minute, hour, day, month, year, decade, century, or more, it can happen any time", answers Ishtar, being very informative and then continues, "We must finish this now! As soon as possible!".
Rise voice changes, her voice gets mixed with Ishtar's. Rise thinks, "Wow, such amazing powers are flowing into me... its endless!", Ishtar answers within her mind, "Yes that's right, this is my power, that you must soon learn how to wield properly". "W-Wait, how did you?"", thinks back and asks Rise, "Ehehehe, right now, our thoughts are connected, this is temporary though, don't worry~", speaks back within Rise's mind, showing a sudden playful and jolly side, Rise was very surprised.
"We shall destroy all filth together!", with a slightly raised voice, says Ishtar.
Rise walks out of the mosque. "Twilight and Vesparia, both of you will stay in here, Vesparia, protect this land for as long as you can!", says Rise, her vice, mixed with Ishtar's. "Yes, Rise-sama!", Vsparia kneels down, Rise then says, "Please, don't kneel down on me", "B-But Rise-sama, my royalty to you is-", Vesparia gets interrupted, "No, using 'sama' is more than enough, now, I shall ascend".
Four more wings spawns out, Rise takes flight into the sky, after a few moments, she simply goes through a demon, which was trying to eat and angel, the demon, after Rise goes through, falls into pieces.
Then, after going high above on the sky, demons comes from all directions, Rise, swings her sword from left to right and a round,, white and holy light disperses, turning all demons into pieces.
Many demons ruthlessly charges towards Rise, all gets skewered and falls into pieces. Rise, then witnesses a black dragon, burning everything with its black flame.
Rise, charges from the sky, with her katana, pointed towards it. The dragon realizes the coming danger and looks up to see Rise coming, then the dragon releases his black flames from its mouth and tries to devour Rise.
Rise, for a second feels fear, "Do not fear, I am with you, just go through it, its way too weak!", speaks Ishtar within her mind. Rise then thinks back, "That's right, I can do it, great power is welling up in me, I can do it!", Ishtar again speaks on her, "That's right, believe in yourself".
Rise dives through the flames - after entering the dragon's mouth, she spins her body while her blade, horizontally cuts the dragon from the inside - coming out through making a hole on its tail, she comes out unharmed. The flames does not even effect it.
The dragon, also falls into pieces on the ground. "Rise, its about time we put an end to this, we're gonna cast the heaven's wind now", says Ishtar.
"The heaven's wind?", Rise asks, curious but also somewhat excited to do it.
Ishtar speaks, "That's right, let me show you, it can vanquish all demons now, it can only be used when I'm awake, lets get on with it and speak together with me".
[i]"Oh benevolent heavens, thou shalt not kill, but purify, all demons, wrecking havoc on thy world".
"Grant thy power that ye has, to us, for purification and restoration".
"For it is ye, that thou shall grant powers to those who prays and need it, Heaven's Wind!!".
Light comes down from the sky, breaking the dark clods away, the light hits Rise's delicate body - Rise harnessing its power, releases white wind through the swing of her katana and it goes to all directions, in great speed.
Surges of power goes through all demons and devils devouring things else where, turning them non-existent, they all die, even the pieces of slaughter demons and everything related to demons, gets vanquished.
"What's left now is the portal, we should destroy that too, okay here goes, lets do it", says Ishtar.
The katana glows with a bright blue aura - With great power, a ball of light forms at the top of the swords tip, then, Rise, swinging the sword towards it, the bal of light ascends to the portal and it gets annihilated.
"We are done on this land, good job Rise", says Ishtar.
"Nah uh, it was mostly you, I could even do much with you, making me mostly swing the sword and making me move my body like that", replies Rise.
"That's true, but you handled my power well nonetheless, now, off to-", she gets interrupted.
"M-My body, w-what is this?!!", says Rise, her body, starting to disappear. Ishtar replies, "Can it be, we are being summoned already?!!"
