The day was just beginning, it was warm and the sun was shining brightly in the morning sky.

A boy of 16 was waking up and going about his morning routine before school when he heard the sound of a window shattering downstairs.

Being the brave but sometimes irrational kid that he was, the boy rushed downstairs to the sound and saw the worst scene of his life. His father was dead on the floor in a pool of his own blood while his mother was still alive but on the border of death due to being strangled by a dark, cloaked person.

"S- STOP IT, LEAVE MY MOM ALONE" the boy yelled as both the figure and his mother laid eyes upon him.

"N-no Issei... r-run" choked out his mother before her windpipe was severed by a quick slash from the dark figure who then turned his attention to the boy.

Issei flinched at the sight of his mother's end but heeded her final request and ran back upstairs his tears in his chocolate brown eyes. The figure pursued him with vigor and caught up with Issei just as he reached his room.

"Nowhere for you to run brat, give it up and I may spare you. It's tragic that your parents had to die but they put up a fight and annoyed me so they had to go. You are the one I've come for sacred gear holder, your power is very important to Lord Azazel's plan so come with me quietly or i'll have to take you by force." The figure sneered.

"N-no, I'll never come with you murderer" shouted Issei.

The figure prepared to extract the boy by force when a new voice made itself known in the house.

"Brother?" called out a young, unknowing, female voice.

The figure turned towards the voice and grinned before heading to towards the other brat in the house, hoping that she would be a little more fun to play with before he went back to the boy.

"STOP, DON'T GO IN THERE" screamed Issei while chasing after the figure who was now entering his sister's room.

The figure looked around the room and laid eyes upon a young girl, no older than 5 years old, on a small bed in the corner. The figure grinned once more before raising a hand and charging a light spear in the air.

Moments before the figure threw the spear, Issei burst into the room and dived for the figure's legs, throwing them off balance so the spear missed it's intended target but hit another one.

The force Issei had put into the tackle was unnatural for his age and size and it threw the figure off completely, both of them tumbled out of the floor to ceiling window in the second floor room shattering it in the process and fell down to the grass below.

The figure slowly stumbled to his feet and looked over to the boy who was still on the ground. The grass around him was stained red... the light spear that was meant for his sister had inadvertently ended up in his gut when he had tackled them out the window.

"Tch, Lord Azazel will not be happy with this result" grumbled the figure as he spread his black angel wings and flew off into the horizon.

Meanwhile, Issei was still unconscious and barely alive when his sister ran outside and knelt down over his limp body crying.

"ISSEI, C'MON WAKE UP" she yelled, not fully understanding the fact that her brother was dying.

Suddenly a bright light appeared in the sky and a woman appeared in an angelic robe with curly blonde hair that reached to her shoulders. The angel descended to the side of the fallen boy and his sister.

"My child, I am Gabriel the female seraph, this boy is dying but the power he holds is more important to this world than you can imagine. Will you help me save him?" Gabriel asked the young girl.

The girl nodded. Gabriel held up her hands and a golden glow filled the area before dissipating and revealing all three of them had vanished.

Issei awoke in a void of pure white light. He looked around for something, anything but saw only nothingness.

(Issei) said a voice.

"Huh... who said that" asked Issei aloud.

(It was I, look at your left hand) replied the voice

Issei did as the voice told him and looked at his left hand. He saw a green glow coming from the back of his hand.

(I am a sacred gear, I reside in your left hand) explained the voice.

"S-so you're the reason my parents were killed" Issei mumbled as he began to tear up at the memory.

(I can only apologise for what happened Issei, those were bad people called Fallen Angels who harvest sacred gears for their own benefit, it was a tragedy that your parents met that fate) The voice apologised.

"What exactly are you" asked Issei.

(My name is Ddraig, I am one of the two heavenly dragons that are constantly at war with each other. I was sealed in this gear you possess as a result of the destruction I caused battling the white one. This gear is called the Boosted Gear which allows you to double your power every ten seconds, you could also eventually use the balance breaker which is essentially a power upgrade to the base gear, but you'd need to become much stronger to access that ability.)

"Please help me get stronger Ddraig, I have to avenge my parents and protect my sister, she's still alive" pleaded Issei.

'Obviously the poor boy didn't know what had happened after he was impaled yet, he'd have to learn that from the person who did it' Ddraig thought sadly as he knew Issei was in for a little more heartbreak today.

(Soon Issei, first you must awaken and come to terms with your new life) replied the dragon before fading from Issei's hand.

"Ddraig wait I-" started Issei before the whiteness around him faded and he began to wake up.

Issei slowly opened his eyes and saw the ceiling of the room he was in was white and gold. As he carefully rose into a sitting position he discovered the whole room was that colour scheme, everything was white with gold. He had no idea where he was, only remembering that he, like his parents should be dead. Was this... Heaven?

"Yes" replied a sweet sounding voice from the door to the room which had opened while Issei was looking around the room.

Issei looked over to the source of the voice and saw a beautiful woman with shoulder length curly blonde hair wearing a angelic robe.

"I am Gabriel, and yes, this is Heaven" answered Gabriel.

"So i'm dead?" asked Issei.

"No, I brought you back to life and moved you here" she corrected.

Issei's eyes lit up.

"Then I can still protect my sister" he exclaimed joyfully.

Gabriel looked at the boy with a sad smile knowing that the news she had to deliver now would hurt him far worse than his parent's deaths.

"I'm sorry my child, but to bring you back to life... I had to use your sister as a sacrifice." Gabriel said in a monotone voice.

These words shattered Issei, all the hope and joy drained from his eyes, quickly being replaced by anger and sorrow.

"WHAT, WHY, HOW COULD YOU SACRIFICE A LITTLE GIRL LIKE THAT" yelled Issei at the top of his lungs.

"I'm sorry but the sacred gear you possess was far too powerful to just give up, the sacrifice of one girl was a necessary one, it was for the best of all of Heaven as now we have the Red Dragon Emperor to assist us in our war with the Fallen and Devils." replied Gabriel, her wings flashing black constantly throughout her sentence showing just how corrupt what she was saying really was.

"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR WAR WITH WHOEVER, SHE WAS MY DAMN SISTER, YOU SHOULD HAVE LET ME DIE, SHE DESERVED TO LIVE SO MUCH MORE" bellowed Issei as he broke down into tears near the end of his rant and screamed at Gabriel to get out.

Gabriel left Issei in the room by himself and went to attend to other matters while he calmed down.

'He'll listen to reason eventually, one girl for that kind of power, it was justified' Gabriel thought as she went to report to Michael, the current leader of the angels.

Issei was in turmoil, his whole life had been turned upside down, his parents were dead because of the being inside him and his sister was sacrificed by the very people who had saved him to use him for war.

"And I thought devil's were supposed to be the evil ones" Issei mumbled aloud.

(Not always partner) replied Ddraig.

"What do you mean" questioned Issei.

(In the beginning the devils were created by one bitter angel who fell from heaven, but ever since the great war between angels, devils and fallen angels started, the devils were the first to realise that the casualties from the war were too high to continue and started to look for a way to end the war).

(The fallen angels also wanted to pull out of the war for the same reason but their faith was still strong so they continue to this day).

(The angels were the ones who changed for the worse, as the war went on and the casualties rose they became reckless and willing to do anything to end the war victorious as you've witnessed first-hand with the sacrifice of your sister just so they could gain my power to use for their own needs.) explained the dragon.

"So the angel's view has become corrupted and the devil's have seen the light, well ain't this just a massive sign saying apocalypse" joked Issei as he got up from the bed.

(Are you ok partner?) Ddraig asked, worried for not only his partner's feeling but mental health as well.

"Ddraig I just saw both my parents murdered as my baby sister sacrificed for power, what do you think" Issei replied with a unnerving smirk.

"I need you to do me a favour Ddraig." said Issei.

(What is it partner?) asked the dragon.

"End me" replied Issei with a smile.

*Cuts self on the edge* Ouch!
