Apollo Team

The **Apollo Team** (アポローチーム *Aporō Chīmu*) is a special team led by Vali Apollyon, the descendant of Apollo and the host of Albion, the White Dragon Emperor and the arch-rival of Ddraig, the Red Dragon Emperor.

## Summary

The Apollo Team was first introduced in Volume 3, when Kazaru and Mwindo came to pick up Vali after his fight against Arthur Pendragon. In Volume 5, three more members, Kuroka Toujou, Ban Benoic and Elaine Westcott were introduced as members of the Apollo Team as well. Fenrir joined the team after Vali and Ban were successful in subjugating the former in Volume 6. The last two members, Eri Ambrosius, and Gogmagog were introduced in Volume 9, helping the 3rd year students of Kuoh Ryuu Academy.

Despite previously being a powerful Faction in the Chaos Insurgency, the Apollo Team were not connected to any of the other factions and acted independently and at their own discretion.

In Volume 11, the entire Apollo Team was considered to be traitors by the Chaos Insurgency after they secretly sent Satanael off to the Pendragon Residence. That, along with the fact that they were allied with the Chaos Insurgency, led the team to be hunted by both the Alliance and the Chaos Insurgency alike.

In Volume 20, the Apolo Team were sent on a mission to find the whereabouts of the stolen city Agreas that Qlippoth were using as their base of operations. They sent Eri, Elaine and Kuroka to inform others that joined the fight against Qlippoth later on.

In Volume 21, during Trihexa's outbreak throughout the world, the Apollo Team were sent into the African region with the assistance of Team Slash/Dog (Tobio Ikuse, Sae Tomoe and Chess Ikuse) and the magician, Glacies Lavinia and there they battled a group of Qlippoth's army led by Evil Dragon, Aži Dahāka.

In Volume 22, the Apollo Team went fishing with the Pendragon house, Occult Research Club, Nico Rasalgethi and Mina's and Hinami's mothers. They later attended Arthur's High-class Devil promotion and registered for the Alliance Cup, as they greeted Arthur and his team when they arrived at the venue.

In Volume 23, they had a Rating Game match against Ariel Lucifer and her team. While they struggled due to the power of Zhang Fei and Crom Cruach, they were able to win after Fenrir fought Ariel to the point of exhausting all of her stamina, which forced her to self-retire, thus allowing the Apollo Team to win.

In True Volume 4, Apollo Team was protecting Tokyo in case of a attack by the Alliance of Nightmares.

In True Volume 6, the Apollo Team went to London with the rest of Eden in order to defeat the Alliance of Nightmares for good. Each other the team members was assigned a unique role as Vali, Mwindo, Fenrir, and Gogmagog were sent to deal with the last four Gods, while Eri, Ban, Elaine and Kuroka were sent to deal with Meredith Ordinton, as the reborn Journey to the West team was assigned to the main front to deal with the Grim Reapers, Hollows, Dreamers and Artificial Devils.
