## Summary

A internal conflict between the factions of Vampires due to the Tepes faction coming into a possession of a Longinus, tipping the balance of power to their favor. As the factions of Vampires compete for control of their nations, various other factions begin to get involved in the conflict.

## Prelude

After Valerie Tepes awakened the power to use her Longinus; Sephiroth Graal, the Tepes Faction used her power to enhance their soldiers, removing the traditional weaknesses of Vampires as the Tepes Faction attacked the Carmilla Faction, which became disgusted by the Tepes' side actions and viewed it as them forsaking their pride as vampires.

Hearing about how the hidden power within Gasper Vladi, a former Tepes Faction Vampire who became Rias Gremory's Bishop, was recently awakened, Carmilla Faction dispatched Elmenhilde Karnstein as special envoy to negotiate with Rias Gremory, offering a treaty from the Carmilla Faction side in exchange for Rias Gremory lending them Gasper so he could fight on the behalf of the Carmilla Faction. After hearing Gasper's desire to save Valerie, Rias took Yuuto as her bodyguard as she went to confirm the situation in Romania and inquire about Gasper's power from the House of Vladi while Azazel would investigate the Carmilla Faction.

After Rias meets with Gasper's father, a servant of the House of Tepes appeared and told her that he is to take her to meet Valerie Tepes, the current head of the House of Tepes and the leader of the Tepes Faction, as while the Tepes Faction and Carmilla Faction were fighting, Marius Tepes and his supporters, with the help of the Khaos Brigade, lead a coup against the Tepes leadership and exiled them. Receiving word of the coup, Azazel contacted the Occult Research Club and asked the remaining members to come as reinforcements.

After arriving to Romania, Azazel revealed that the anti government group that took power had forced the King of Tepes and his supporters to ally with the Carmilla Faction in order to deal with the traitors. After meeting with Valerie, the group had learned through Elmenhilde that Marius intends to extract the Holy Grail from Valerie in order to use it's power to transform the civilians into beings without weaknesses. The Occult Research Club moved out to save Gasper's childhood friend before her Longinus is taken.

## History

As the Occult Research Club ran to the Tepes Castle, as Marius would be performing the extraction ritual at the lowest floor of the castle, to stop the extraction of Valerie's Longinus, they encountered a hundred vampire soldiers, with Bennia and Loup staying behind to fight them, allowing the Occult Research Club to move ahead.

As the Occult Research Club reached the open space of the second floor, they encountered elite Holy Grail-enhanced vampires with Koneko defeating them by using her **Shirone Mode** and Kasha, incinerating them with power of purification, though she fainted due to it being her first time using the form.

Just before reaching the third floor, the group encountered Grendel as they proceeded to fight him. Despite their numerical advantage, they were unable to inflict any significant damage to him. Rias had the group stall Grendel as they delayed him long enough for Rias to use her new move, *Extinguished Star*to reduce Grendel to just the half his head, as he tried to continue to fight but was stopped by Crom Cruach, who told him to get a new body from the Holy Grail, becoming the new opponent for the Occult Research Club with Grendel teleporting away.

Vali Lucifer appeared as he and Issei teamed up to fight Crom Cruach. Issei transformed into his **Cardinal Crimson Promotion**,as he and Vali combined their attacks to assault Crom Cruach. Issei used his *Crimson Blaster,*which he enhanced with Ascalon's *Dragon Slayer* trait, to damage Crom Cruach to a moderate degree. Azazel had Asia summon Fafnir, who gave Azazel the replica Tathlum bullet that Azazel gave to Fafnir in the past, which Azazel fired at Crom but Crom was able to block the bullet. Crom moved aside and let the group pass as he was order to delay them for 10 minutes.

Reaching Valerie, the group was unsuccessful in preventing the extraction of her Longinus, as she was seemingly killed by the process. Enraged by the death of his childhood friend, Gasper used his darkness powers to kill Marius Tepes and the heads of Tepes for their role in Valerie's death.

As Azazel returned Valerie's Holy Grail fragment in hopes of waking her, Rizevim Lucifer appeared and revealed that Valerie's sub-species of the Holy Grail had 3 cups, as he had already extracted one beforehand. Rizevim transformed the Vampires, who used the Holy Grail to enhance themselves, into Evil Dragons which rampaged across the Carmilla Town as Vali attempted to chase Rizevim.

The Occult Research Club split into multiple groups to evacuate the Vampire civilians (Akeno and Rias, Yuuto and Rossweisse, Xenovia and Irina, with Issei going by himself) as the rest of the group (Asia and the unconscious Koneko and Gasper were left behind).

Issei encountered Euclid Lucifuge, who revealed that he managed to create a replica of Boosted Gear, by using the destroyed remains of Issei's body and the power of the Holy Grail. Enraged at the seeming mockery of there being more then one Red Dragon Emperor, Ddraig shouted out that the only Red Dragon Emperor is him and Issei, as well as the Two Heavenly Dragons are enough with just him and Albion, with Albion's thoughts flowed into him and encouraged him, due to the Two Heavenly Dragons reaching an understanding of each other prior. A white dragon appeared from Issei's armor's jewel's, with Ddraig revealing that unlike the *Dividing Gear*, the small dragons do not use up Issei's life span as Issei used them to *Reflect* his Dragon Shots and began overwhelming Euclid. Euclid attempted to eliminate Issei with a huge wave of demonic power which he enhanced with *Boost*, but Issei used the small dragons to *Divide* the attack, weakening it to the point where Issei was safely able to deflect it. As Euclid attempted to continue the fight, Gasper came to assist Issei, as mass-produced Evil Dragons that were going wild in the town got absorbed by the darkness that came up from the ground which was generated by Gasper's darkness form. Rizevim appeared, being chased by Vali, as Vali, Issei and Gasper unleashed their attacks but were nullified by Rizevim's *Sacred Gear Canceller*, with Rizevim and Euclid teleporting away as Rizevim proclaimed the name of his new organization: **Qlippoth**.

## Conclusion

Due to the chaos caused by Rizevim's action in Romania, the two vampire factions of the Tepes Faction and Carmilla faction issued a ceasefire as they entered into a truce to rebuild their country which had been ravaged by Qlippoth actions. They also formally entered into a treaty with the Three Factions, with the Three Factions sending relief and aid in order to help the country recover.

In order to respond to the actions of the newly created faction of the Khaos Brigade, the Three Factions and other mythological powers decided to create a counter-terrorist team; Team DxD, in order to counter Qlippoth , which is made up of the talented youth of the Three Factions. Dulio Gesualdo was elected as the team leader with the First Generation Sun Wukong as the sub-leader of the team.

In order to allow the Vali Team, which had been previously a part of the Khaos Brigade, to join the team, the Three Factions issued a pardon to the members of the team with Odin taking in Vali as his adopted son in order to silence the objections of the other mythology gods, with Vali agreeing as he stated his desire to have Kuroka and Le Fay stay at the Hyoudou Residence in order to be summoned when needed.

Arthur Pendragon told his sister Le Fay Pendragon to join this team and receive a pardon the amnesty granted by the Three Faction as he asked Issei to make Le Fay his contracted Magician so she could return to a normal life, with Issei agreeing much to Arthur's happiness as he promised to repay him for it.

Sun Wukong told the members assembled that he intends to train them to the point of fighting Gods, as there are many more Gods that want to take over the world.

## Participants

### Carmilla Faction Allies

#### Three Factions

 Vali Team | Originally following the infomation to confirm Crom Cruach's existence, Vali and his team (Bikou, Arthur and Fenrir) infiltrated the vampire country in Romania, after Vali learned that the new leader of the Khaos Brigade was his grandfather Rizevim Lucifer. During the final day of the Civil War, the team fought against the Maverick Magicians group; **Hexennacht**,as Vali fought against Euclid Lucifuge, with Vali's teammates staying behind so that Vali could proceed ahead. Vali teamed up with Issei Hyoudou to fight against Crom Cruach, but they were stalled for 10 minutes by the Evil Dragon. After Rizevim revealed himself, Vali attempted to fight him but was unable to inflict any damage to Rizevim due to the latter's *Sacred Gear Canceler*, which nullified all of Vali's attacks as Rizevim retreated with Euclid Lucifuge, teleporting away.

### Tepes Faction Allies

#### Khaos Brigade

 Euclid Lucifuge | A member of the House of Lucifuge and Grayfia Lucifuge's younger brother, as well as Rizevim Livan Lucifer's right hand. He appeared in Romania after the vampires who were enhanced by the Holy Grail were turned into Evil Dragons, fighting against Issei Hyoudou. He reveals that by using the Holy Grail and Issei's parts of Issei's former body, he was able to create a replica of the Boosted Gear. Due to his Satan-class power being enhanced by the replica Longinus, he was initially capable of easily overwhelming Issei before Issei developed Dividing Wyvern Fairy, which Issei used to pressure Euclid. He retreated along with Rizevim Lucifer, teleporting away.
