Gae-"called the figure, sounding as if two people were speaking at once and the crimson energy condensed into the spear's tip.

[BURST!]

With that announcement, Scáthach watched as just before he was going to activate Gae Bolg the image of Cu Chulainn disappeared and the boy suddenly collapsed to the ground. The energy that condensed around his spear disappearing along with Gae Bolg and Tauropolos, which reverted back to their card forms.

Dismissing her own spear, Scáthach and Morrigan turned to look at each other in complete and utter shock before they approached the down teen. "What just happened?" questioned the witch as they stared at Issei.

"A side effect of the Boosted Gear, he must have gone past the limits of his body," replied Morrigan as she knelt down in front of the teen's form and picked up the Lancer card.

"That's not what I meant and you know it!" growled Scáthach as she checked Issei for injuries.

The Goddess of Death just shook her head in confusion, "I don't know, it felt as if their souls were…joining…merging…becoming one."

Morrigan then sighed before she picked up the Archer card and put both of the cards back in their holder as she lifted up Issei's prone body. "Come on we need to get out of here," she ordered and headed for the door.

"Why?" Scáthach frowned in confusion before her eyes widened. "Oh, that's why."

The Goddess shook her head again, "I told you the Boundary Field couldn't handle any more power, now every person that has even the tiniest sensing ability within six blocks will have felt the two of you."

Scáthach growled softly but said nothing in response as the two of them quickly carried Issei out of the ruined dojo, all in all it was quite the first day of school for the two Celts.

"What happened here?" gasped Rias as the group took in the sight of the wrecked Gym.

"Tsubasa, Tomoe, Saji, send word to the staff that the Gym has been closed due to structural failure, then block off the area. We don't want any normal students walking in here until we've assessed the situation," ordered Sona.

"Understood," replied the three Devils as they nodded and left the building.

The Sitri heiress then turned to her remaining peerage members, "the rest of you spread out and see if you can find any clues about what happened here."

"You all do the same," ordered Rias to her peerage, whom just started searching the area as Gremory heiress approached her Sitri counterpart.

"What do you think happened here Sona? I know you already have some ideas," whispered Rias softly.

"A fight clearly, judging from the fact that it occurred in the Gym we can assume that it was likely a spar that got out of hand. We also know that they have to be students or they wouldn't have access to, or knowledge of this area," replied the other Devil as with an annoyed frown.

"Which means that Kuoh academy has been infiltrated, the question now is, by who and how long?" agreed the red head.

Sona's frown just deepened, "it might have been a coincidence, but today we got two new transfer students from out of the country."

"You checked their backgrounds right?" questioned Rias, causing her fellow King to nod with a sigh.

"Everything checked out and our reports indicated that they weren't members of any of the Three Factions," replied Sona.

"What if they weren't from any of the Biblical Factions? You said they were from abroad correct? What country did they come from?" asked the Gremory heiress as a worried frown crossed her face.

"The paperwork said they were from Ireland, whether that is true or not remains to be seen," replied Sona, only to narrow her eyes as Rias' worried expression grew. "Rias I know that expression anywhere, you know something, don't you?"

Rias quickly glanced at their peerages, making sure they were out of hearing range as she nodded, "I think we might be dealing with the Celts."

"The Celts? Impossible, Rias they haven't shown any interest in Devils before, why start now?" countered Sitri heiress.

"I don't think it was us they were interested in," muttered the Gremory clan member in response.

"What do you mean Rias? If they weren't here for us then who?" asked Sona.

"Issei Hyoudou," announced Rias, bringing a stunned expression her fellow King's face before Sona's demonic aura began leaking out. "Sona are you okay?" asked her friend in concern at this strange behavior.

"Of course it would involve him," growled the Sitri clan member as she turned back to Rias. "What does he have to do with any of this?"

Rias just raised an eyebrow at this as she responded, "right before this happened my knight, Kiba and I were discussing an unusual Sacred Gear that Issei had."

"Akashi? That Demonic spear you wanted us to look up? What has that got to do with any of this?" replied the member of the Sitri clan.

The red head just sighed, "Kiba proposed that Issei's Sacred Gear could copy any legendary weapon that its user saw."

"That's-" Sona was left speechless as she thought about the implications of such a Sacred Gear.

A whole host of legendary weapons at a single person's command, wars could and had been started for less. The Devil gave silent praise that the original Excalibur had been broken years ago, if the Church had had the ability to make multiples of the most powerful Holy Sword in existence they would have wiped out her kind years ago. As it was, they had enough trouble with those damned fragments that the sword left behind after its destruction.

"My reaction exactly," replied Rias as she noted her friend's horrified expression.

"Rias this is very bad, please tell me that Kiba was wrong," asked Sona with a pleading tone in her voice.

Much to her horror Rias' frown only deepened, "he believed that Akashi was actually a copy of the Celtic cursed spear, Gae Bolg, but that left one major problem."

"How did Issei Hyoudou see the original," sighed the Student Council President.

The red head nodded, "exactly, that left two possibilities. Either Kiba was wrong and Akashi has nothing to do with Gae Bolg…or Issei has friends among the Celts."

Sona pinched the bridge of her as she replied in an exasperated voice, "So you think that members of the Celts snuck into Kuoh academy to visit their friend? Rias, why would they bother? They could have just gone through the official channels if they wanted to. We'd be happy to host them, it would she the world that we aren't the monsters they think we are."

"That's exactly why they didn't Sona," replied the Gremory heiress, bringing a confused look to her friend's face. "Think about how much attention would be put on Issei, the reclusive Celts finally venturing out of the Otherworld and befriending him."

"He would be watched day and night, manipulated and Maou knows what else to take advantage of his connection to them," nodded Sona, and the two heiress' frowned as memories of their own pasts caught up to them.
