That's it! Come on Scáthach please just pretend to be someone else!' begged Issei, only for his hope to die as he saw a smirk appear on the witch's face.
"Maybe this will answer your question," she replied, before summoning a crimson spear in her hand.
"Is that…" questioned Kiba.
"Gae Bolg? Of course it is. Where do you think Issei got his from?" answered Scáthach making Sona and Rias' eye widen as a frown appeared on their faces.
"So we were right, your Sacred Gear can copy legendary weapons," murmured Rias, softly.
'What? How did they come to that conclusion? I doubt there's anyone with that kind of overpowered ability,' thought Issei in complete confusion.
Elsewhere across the multiverse a certain Counter Guardian, numerous red haired teenage magus' and a number of Isseis from other worlds sneezed.
For a brief moment Scathach's eyes widened before she smiled, "wow, you Devils already figured that out? I'm impressed, you're better than I expected."
'WHAT?!' thought Issei in shock as he was about to speak up, only to feel Scáthach jab her elbow into his ribs.
"Of course, we're heiress' of two of the clans of the 72 Pillars, we shouldn't be underestimated," commented a smug Rias.
"Indeed, you're certainly changing my opinion on Devils," replied the Celt with a smile.
'And I'm not entirely sure it's for the better,' realized Issei with a sigh.
"Thank you, may I ask who your companion was?" questioned Rias.
"Umm…I don't think that is a good idea," warned Issei, only to be ignored by everyone present.
"It was Morrigan," announced Scáthach, making Issei sigh again as a shocked expression appeared on all the Devil's faces.
"The Celtic Goddess?" confirmed Sona, getting a nod in response from the witch.
"ISSEI HOW DID YOU MEET AND BEFRIEND A CELTIC GODDESS OF DEATH, LET ALONE THE IMMORTAL WITCH!" shouted Rias as everyone turned to the teen.
"Umm…I didn't, they came to me," replied Issei, only to cry out as Scáthach stamped on his foot.
"WHAT?!" exclaimed everyone, causing Scáthach to sigh.
"Why would you two show such interest in Issei Hyoudou?" questioned Sona in confusion.
"Oh I can explain tha-ouch!" cried out Issei as the witch again, nearly crushed his foot beneath her own as she stood in front of him.
"Let me answer that with a question of my own. What does Morrigan, myself and Gae Bolg all have in common?" asked Scáthach.
"Cu Chulainn," replied Kiba after a brief silence filled the room.
"Exactly, you see Issei here is one of his descendants," lied the witch.
"What?!" gasped Rias.
"Scáthach…" warned Issei, softly.
"And I'm staying here to act as his tutor and bodyguard, so I'll be joining this club. Let's all get along okay?" concluded Scáthach as she fixed them all with a smile that made even Akeno flinch.
"WHAT?!" shouted Rias with a horrified expression.
"I see, you realize that we'll have to inform our leaders of this," stated Sona as the Sitri heiress was the first to regain her composure.
"That's fine, isn't it Scáthach?" said Issei quickly, trying to end this conversation before it got too out of hand.
"I guess there's no choice," sighed Scáthach.
"Still as a representative of the Devils, let me welcome you to our territory," greeted Sona, formally.
"Thank you, I hate to ask this but could you do me a favour," asked the witch, with a grin on her face.
"And what might that be?" frowned Rias.
"We have a friend that wants to join the school and join the club, but she needs a fake background," informed Scáthach.
Issei just stayed out of the conversation and moved to sit next to Koneko before giving the white haired girl a wary look, remembering what happened with Mil-tan. The white haired girl looked at him with wide unblinking eyes before Issei sighed and began patting her on the head again, once again hearing the sound of a cat purring as he returned his attention back to the current conversation.
"A Celt?" frowned Sona.
"A member of my faction," replied Scáthach.
"That should be easy to do, what's their name?" nodded Rias.
"Asia Argento," replied Issei.
"That's not very Celt sounding name," frowned Sona.
"It's the alias she chose, what can you do?" shrugged Scáthach.
"Okay I'll have the necessary paperwork done tonight and send it over to Issei's, she should be able to do go to school by tomorrow," announced the Sitri heiress.
"Thank you, I hope you don't mind but Issei and myself need to be excused. We want to inform our friend about the good news," stated Scáthach as Issei nodded and rose from the couch before following the Celt out of the clubroom.
"We need to contact the Maou, let them know what's happening here," sighed Sona as the door closed behind them.
Rias joined her in their lamenting, neither of them liked involving their siblings with anything but this was not something they could just sweep under the rug. Still to think that Issei was a descendant of the Cu Chulainn, perhaps it was better that she didn't get him in her peerage. Rias doubted the Celts would have let that slide easily.
"What happened to letting me do all the talking?" commented Issei with a glare as the pair left the school grounds and headed for home.
"Oh please Issei, I only said that to keep you from worrying, besides if you'd done the talking the Devils would have already figured everything out," dismissed the witch.
"And why is that?" replied Issei through gritted teeth.
Scáthach just laughed, "Because you can't lie to save a life Issei, not only that but you have no idea how politics work. Believe me, it's better if I do all the talking."
"Speaking of politics, aren't you worried about what happens when they find out you lied about Asia?" questioned Issei.
A large grin spread across her face, "technically I didn't lied Issei. I just told them she was part of my faction, it's not my fault if they assume that means she's a part of the Celts."
'Ddraig, remind me to never play her at poker,' thought Issei.
[Agreed, partner.]
"And what is your faction Scáthach?" asked Issei, curiously as he snapped back into the present.
The witch just blinked as she looked at him in surprise, "isn't it obvious? Your's of course Issei, although we will need to think up a name for it. Work on that would you? We need to start getting our name out there."
"Yeah sure, whatever you say Scáthach," he answered with a shake of his head.
"Still was that really a good idea to say I'm a descendant of Cu Chulainn?" asked Issei with a worried frown on his face.
"It's better than the truth Issei, besides it's not like anyone can prove us wrong with Morrigan, myself and Lugh backing the claim," replied Scáthach.
"Do you think Lugh will agree to that? It is his son after all," pointed out Issei
"We'll cross that road if we get to it, besides I'm confident Morrigan can convince him," replied the witch.
"Why do I get the feeling that you're leading me to a horrible death…" muttered Issei with a sigh as they finally arrived back home.
"Don't worry so much Issei, honestly you'll live longer that way," grinned Scáthach as she opened the door before turning back to face him.
"Remember to come up with a name Issei, we'll need something to catch people's attention," she ordered as the witch headed into the house.
"Don't worry it'll be a name that people won't soon forget," he replied with a joking smile.
"Good, I'm looking forward to it. Soon our faction will be well known around the world," she grinned, while Issei just shook his head, clearly thinking that the witch was joking…he really should have known better by now.
