TRAVEL PLANS FOR THE FUTURE Location the Humanworld, Japan-Kuoh: The Bael Residence, Krichevskoy Mansion; Backyard-Pool Area
The next day. After the guys, practically binged Naruto, Shippuden, and the movies in the course of two days. Things became calm. The girls, have expressed that they felt content with their current growth, at the moment. And will take a break from dungeon diving, for a while. So this let for a perfect opportunity to talk about future plans. A multiversal vacation, through several worlds. Not only to get away from DXD shenanigans for a while...or better said, put them on hold. When Caulifla heard, that their going to her home-verse. She wooped loudly. Flying slightly off the ground in excitement, saying she was eager to fight against Goku again. Albedo chuckled. As she remained her sister-lover, that during that time period. Goku isn't only dead, but leagues weaker than when she first faced him. Meaning it wouldn't be even compared to a spar, for the saiyan-devil. Caulifla realized this. Landed with her arms, and legs cross, puffing out her cheek in iratation. Because Albedo, was 100% right. No one at that time period, is worthy of fighting. Heck even Cabba and Kale are much weaker, during that period. She yelled at a prinny to bring her some meat, and a cold beer to calm down. After cheering up, Caulifla a bit. Laharl explained that not only would this serve as a good vacation period, but also an opportunity. Cause this will also allow Gyutaro to gather, some peerage member...and wives, for himself. The sickle-devil blushed, at that comment. Those worlds planned to travel. It's Naruto, Seven Deadly Sins, Dragonball, Sekirei, and possibly more. Daki suggested that they go to the Demon Slayer-verse as well. Shocking everyone, including Gyutaro. Daki, she confessed she'd read and watched the Manga and Anime of her world. Taking a moment to express, that they need a bit closure. One being beating Tengen. Laharl, and several of the girls, had to fight the erge to yell out, "Ooowww" and "Yoooo" Daki seems wants throw down. Gyutaro, he was surprised that his little sister is this eager for a fight. Seems that Laharl, has to show Gyutaro the Demon Slayer series fully. Including his own saga, on the Entertainment District arc. But that can wait. Even if that fight, along with the Rengoku fight, are the best of not just that series, but also in modern anime. But that was all for their future plans. Asia was most excited, seeing whole new worlds. Made the reincarnated excommunicated nun, fill with so much wonder lust. Everyone started cuddling, her bright yellow haired head. Making her smile, and giggle. Then Ranma finally spoke up, since he and his peerage was going on this multiversal trip. He mention that he'd realized that Laharl, and some of their group have reached a whole new level of power. Laharl noticed this, especially with his physical strength. He must have finally breaking through the next stat level. Laharl sensed his very being. Seeing a deep faded red crystal. Seems the next stat levels, are in the red tones. Laharl, he was quite pleased. Aside that, Laharl, Ranma, and Sona continue to make further details on this vacation. With Laharl's dimension gate, having a time altering effect. They can be gone, for a long, long time. And the DXD world, will remain still. Unable to detect anything, that has happened, during that pause. So with that they just discuss thing of the upcoming trip, once Gyutaro ascend to a Peerage King.
WALKING OUT TO THE SEA Location the Horror Dungeon Area 6
Some days later, after getting the underwater breathing spell from Raven. The guys returned to the Horror Dungeon. Now back in the Bioshock based level. Issei complained, that now they have to fight their way back to the pressure chamber. Ren, smile patted the Red Emperor's shoulder. A comforting action. Laharl cracked his arm, and started leading the guys into the dungeon crawl. Immediately encountering splicers, plasmid splicers, leadheads, nitros, and security bots. All easily taken out. It took a bit of time, but eventually they've arrived to the hatch. Issei and Ren were nervous. Never have they walked onto the open sea before, while Gyutaro. He was hiding his worry with bravado. While impossible for a former demon to drown...he'll confess he never heard of a demon. That doesn't have a water based demon art, ever go near a large body of water. While they wouldn't die, constantly suffocating and drowning...doesn't sound appealing in the slightest. Lastly Kiba, Ranma, and Laharl. They're all cool. Trusting the spell, as Laharl started casting the water breathing spell. As the Krichevskoy magical glyph, appeared glowing purple and blue. All around the feet of the devils. As the magic, surging through the bodies of all six of these guys. With that they walked over to the copper, reinforced giant hatch door. Opening it, and going into the depressurize chamber. After a few seconds. The chamber, started filling with seawater. Fully submerging them. Once the chamber is fully flooded, they could breathe with ease. But floated in slightly under the water, with only Laharl being weighed by his massive Vritra Zanbato Fury. This made him realize, that it must have been Raven's magic helped him to better fight under the water. But he shrugged. He "walked" over to the other hatch, turning the wheel lock. Opening the way into the ocean itself. Various fishes, a couple eels, and octopus swimming around the coral area. White sand bottom. Coral and elegy everywhere. Some crabs, and fish hiding in the gaps of coral, pipes, and rocks. Laharl pointed his Vritra Zanbato Fury forward, a sign for the other to go on. As they swam out to the open ocean. Laharl taking the opportunity to collect, various animals as they walked through the area. Searching for the next hatch. To go back inside of the city. And finally progress further in this dungeon area, as well as search for what or whoever is the Boss of the area also. After a while of swimming, searching for the next entrance. That's when a Great White Shark, came swimming towards them. None of them were scared, Laharl stretched out his scarf. Wrapping the scarf around of the shark. Unable to escape from Laharl demonic clothes. Using demonic magic, he sealed the great white, another animal for his aquarium. Issei was amazed. He only seen these creatures, and environment, behind a glass on a simple public aquarium. Gyutaro and Ren both felt the same, as the young Red Emperor. One never went near to the ocean, while the other. His homeworld, the oceans are...or better said were, filled with monsters. So to them, this scene was amazing. Laharl saw their expression, and chuckled if they see Aquaman in 3D. Now that is a underwater wonderland. Regardless after more swimming, they eventually found the next hatch and pressure chamber. So they can return into the city. After opening the hatch, and being pressurized, which did little to them. Since their devils, and have auras. They proceeded on their dungeon crawl.
ENCOUNTERING A BIG DADDY Back inside the city. They've arrived what seems to be a commercial area. Filled with thrash, broken glasses, and other junk. As well as bottles of discarded liquor, everywhere. Sorta reminded Laharl of an area in the second game. Just then they were surrounded by splicers, and leadheads. Screaming, and yelling like crazed people. Shooting at them. And the other ADAM junkies, rushing in to beat or cut them with various weapons. Kiba and Laharl rushed in. Their respected blade, slashing apart the splicers. With Ren and Gyutaro, acting as backup on this fight. Shooting energy bullets, and blood sickles at the enemies. Ranma and Issei, they joined in on the front. Bashing down the splicers, that Laharl or Kiba haven't cut down. Together they took out, all the splicers and leadhead. Leaving behind red, white, and cyan exp-drops. Which the guys absorbed, and Laharl took the pistols and tommy guns to sell later. As they high-five each other. They continue onto the city, encountering more splicers, and even plasmid splicers. These plasmid splicers, are psychics, or swarm shooters. Those hornets or bees, prove to be a big annoyance for the guys. But they still took out their enemies, all easy for them. As they went down some flights of stairs, they went to what looks like a private club area. The old Chicago vibe, with extreme water damage and flooding. Looking around the room. They found what looks like a longue area, when loud metal thumping, echoed across the place. Then loud moaning. Laharl immediately knew, what could have made that noise. Seems that they'd entered the terf of big daddy. Laharl was actually pumped to face one of the iconic characters. Laharl, he warned the guys, about what they're about to face. Like him, Ranma and Gyutaro were excited to take on a Big Daddy. So they went on to the longue area, the red furnished booths, dirtied and coated in water damage. A bar on the corner. Then loud stomping, as the huge humanoid creature, came into view. It a Bouncer type. Bouncers are the heavy clad varient of the Big Daddies. Also the iconic version, that everyone that played Bioshock knows of. Equip with a very distinct heavy diving suit, the entire torso of which is covered by a thick metal carapace. Rounded diver head, protrudes from the upper chest area and is encased in a studded eight lit portholes. A large, fully-functional conical drill is attached to the right arm just forward of the elbow and is used for powerful melee attacks. The Bouncers get their name from their will to protect their bonded Little Sisters. Currently the Bouncer, it wasn't in its aggressive state. Shown from the lights, on the helm's portholes. Walking over to a Little Sister pipe. Seems that the Big Daddy, it's acting exactly like on the second game. As long one doesn't attack the big daddy, it won't attack. Walking around without purpose. Then looking and calling for the little sisters, but since none of the games, actually mark them as enemies. But as resources for ADAM.
It was highly unlikely, that any Little Sisters appear in this dungeon. Laharl turned to Issei. Telling him to charge a boosted, Dragon Shot. As that the best way to take out a Big Daddy, in the games. Hit them hard, and stay out the line of shot, from the big daddies' attacks. Issei, gave Laharl a thumbs-up. As he started charging, and boosting his big attack. Meanwhile Laharl and the others, got into position to follow-up Issei's attack. Ddraig shouted out, his fifth boost. As the Bouncer type, Big Daddy ignored Laharl, and the others. Once Issei's Boosted Gear, shouted it's eighth boost. Issei felt it was more than ready to fire. Running straight at the Big Daddy, groaning as it turn to Issei. Still not on it's aggressive state. Upon getting into a good range, with a big smile on his face, Issei struck. Pulling back his red gauntlet covered fist, as a scarlet energy was shining through the gaps of the Boosted Gear's palm. He swung his fist forward, opening his red gauntlet covered palm. Releasing a massive scarlet beam, directly at the Bouncer. Engulfing it in the Dragon Shot. Blasting it with a near point-blank, demonic and draconian blast. Causing a huge amount of damage, and smashing the Bouncer onto the wall. As it thrashed in pain, the big daddy's portholes were lit red. Before Issei's Dragon Shot, faded away. Kiba created his Repression Calm, so he can release a vacuum slash at the Bouncer. Ren started firing a bullet storm, at the big daddy. Laharl, he lifted his arms. Channeling his demonic power, and dark energy to make a huge ball of demonic energy. His Dark Reaver. Which he just threw at the Bouncer, causing a big energy explosion. Ranma, and Gyutaro were still on guard, as Issei's attack finally completed his Dragon Shot. Smoke blocked their view. In a moment, a massive diver creature, emerged from the smoke. It's form highly damaged. It drill spinning, along with portholes lite red. Roaring, as the Bouncer charged right at the devil. To impale it's enemy with it drill. But the guys, were able to easily get out the way of the Bouncer's rushing drill attack. Ranma was the first to react. After he leap away of the Big Daddy's attack, he rushed at the Bouncer, as this fight is just starting...
