Hey guys. Hope you like this story. So I've decided to take Issei's perverted nature in molded it into a happy and chipper sense of humor. Also, for better and funnier story, always read in a happy and chipper tone. Also, I decided to alter Issei's look just a little bit. Basically, Issei is the Nora Valkyrie (RWBY) and Gary Stue of Highschool DxD. All in all, this is more of a remake of Issei Hyoudou, the Prince of Madness.
And for those of you that don't like me making Issei into a Gary Stue, then go read some other writer's fanfiction. I'm here to satisfy me.
Now this story is special. This is a special project that I'm working on called "Project New DxD"
Now this story is supposed to be my largest franchise ever. My commitment to the perfection and creation of this fanfiction will be colossal. None of my other stories will matter to me as this will be my number one focus.
And finally, I OWN NOTHING!
(Edit) Hey, I looked over this chapter and decided to make it longer than a measly four thousand word chapter. Along with a few corrections here and there.
(Edit 2) I discovered more discrepancies in my writing including missing words, letters, sentences, misspelled words, and some unnecessary junk.
"Alright guys, I'll give you a Bael's honest opinion. You ask me if this new Devil can give others a proper challenge, if this Devil can make the very ground quake as he passes? Absolutely!"
A scene of a young man with brown hair appears as the Devil decimates enemies with a large, bronze hammer.
The Gamer-kun Foundation
"And among all the Devils of great power and wealth that dwell here, he ranks among the most dangerous. There was a time where I thought myself the deadliest scourge of the Young Devils."
And Highschool DxD
A built man with black hair chuckled to himself as he recalled a memory of him fighting this new Devil. He had never lost so horribly in his life.
Presents...
"But this Devil... is a fearsome Rook that feeds off insanity and chaos, I've seen him beat down an army of expert magicians and rogue priests like it were nothing."
Here plays another scene of the Rook letting out an almost demonic bellow and a maniacal grin as he fights several armed priests.
The Number One Fanfiction in the Internet
"Fights like a demon, dressed as a man. And he's a canny one, knows his way around every crack and crevice of the Underworld. So if it's fortune and challenge that you seek, then Issei Hyoudou's your man. Only... don't meddle in his private affairs, for there's more mystery the the Ultimate Rook then even I dare ask." Sairaorg Bael said as he took a swig of his wine, his peerage members looking at him in wonder of Issei Hyoudou, The Ultimate Rook of Rias Gremory.
Project New DxD
T'was a merry day at Kuoh Academy. Students were walking through the gates, enjoying conversations and the latest gossip, but with one newcomer among them that stood out like a sore thumb. Long brown hair that reached his waist and innocent doe-brown eyes with a handsome face upon the shoulders of a swimmer-built body that made the females start drooling the moment they saw his exposed arms. This handsome boy wore the Kuoh Academy men's blazer with the sleeves rolled up to show off his well-built arms, along with grey slacks and dress shoes as he walked through the gates with a slight skip in his step.
His name was Issei Hyoudou. Issei had a mile-wide grin showing two rows of snow-white teeth, though there was a slight mischief in it. Issei decided to focus his hearing and listen in on what the people staring at him were saying. Let us hear what they have to say.
You probably already know.
"Who's that, is he attending here?"
"I hope he is, he's so handsome."
"Kyaaa! I love his hair!" (I don't know why I keep putting this quote in my writings).
Of course, something you would expect from love struck females upon seeing someone as cute and handsome as Issei. Now with the males.
"Look at this Casanova bastard."
"We already have Kiba, we don't need another pretty boy in the class!"
"Yeah! Besides, he looks like a pansy with all that hair!"
Now that remark about his hair...
Issei would have no qualms in admitting that he would enjoy breaking that boy's legs.
Believe it or not (and call him a girl all you want), Issei was very self-conscious about his hair. The girls of Kuoh unknowingly shared the sentiment as they cast withering glares at the boys. Issei looked up to see a red-haired woman looking at him and gifting him with a gentle smile. Issei gave a smile back as he waved vigorously to her. The woman's smile grew a tad, followed with a pink dusting to her flawless cheeks. This did not go unnoticed by the male population. Many males were reaching boiling point when they saw Rias Gremory, one of the Two Great Ladies of Kuoh, blush at the actions of a student she just saw!
"Akeno, who is that boy?" Rias asked, another girl with long violet hair and a bust just as gifted as Rias' responded with a smile.
"That is Issei Hyoudou, a transfer student from Kyoto. He transferred because he said the schools there were too boring and uneventful for his liking, so he moved here with his foster parents. Why, do you have an interest in him?" Akeno asked, Rias nodded.
"Yes, I can sense a power within him, he might have a Sacred Gear." Rias mused as she watched Issei skip into the school building as if he hadn't a care in the world.
"Alright students, today we have a new student attending Kuoh. You can come in now." the teacher said, the students whispering among themselves. Who was this mysterious student? What gender was the new student? The males whispered excitedly at the prospect of a new female with huge breasts while the females hoped it was a handsome boy like their own Kiba Yuuto. All whispers were silenced when, much to the guys' disdain, Issei walked in, the happy grin still plastered on his handsome face. The girls gushed and swooned over the look of their new prince, especially one with long glorious hair and a handsome face. Issei wrote his name on the board and turned to the students of the class.
"Hello, I'm Issei Hyoudou. Let's all get along!" Issei said happily as the girls continued to swoon at his happy and eccentric attitude while the guys were absolutely livid and giving off so much killing intent, that Issei was impressed and unnerved at the same time.
"Thank you, Mr. Hyoudou. Does anyone have any questions?" the teacher asked, one female student with pink hair raising her hand.
"Yes, Katase?"
"What are your hobbies?" a girl with pink-dyed hair asked, Issei looked up in thought for a while before grinning.
"Hmm, lets see... do breakfast, lunch, and dinner count?" Issei replied, earning giggles from the females at his cute and childish remark. Another girl raised her hand.
"Are you in a relationship with someone?" she asked.
"Unless you count Oreo's, Netflix, cats, and waffles, then no." Issei said, earning more giggles, though a little louder than before.
"Are you looking for a girlfriend?" asked a male student.
"Well, I am hoping to one day love someone the way women on commercials love yogurt." Issei replied, this time, earning roaring laughter from the entire class while the teacher giggled.
"Well, we hope you have a wonderful time here. If you will take a seat next to Maruyama, we can start today's lesson." this earned a blush from a girl with brown hair like Issei's that was tied up into pigtails and a knowing smirk from the pinked-haired girl.
One of the things you learn quickly enough when you meet Issei is his tremendous appetite, which is why the students in the cafeteria stared in awe as Issei wolfed down twelve blueberry waffles in less than a minute, but it was the way he did it so elegantly with a plastic knife and fork that amazed the students around him. This, however, meant that one of the easier ways to gain Issei's attention was through his (according to speculation) massive stomach. How he stayed thin and built was anyone's guess.
Already, the girls dubbed Issei Hyoudou 'The Lost King of Kuoh' due to his regal looks and happy-go-lucky nature. Even the third years had an interest in him. But it still angered the male population, sans the scarce amount of decent men in the school and Kiba Yuuto.
And speaking of the blonde Casanova...
Kiba Yuuto himself was tasked by his King to watch Hyoudou for a while and look for anything that may indicate the possession of a Sacred Gear or any combat experience. Though both a Sacred Gear and the knowledge to use it would be even better. He looked at the Hyoudou boy with interest as the boy in question wolfed down yet another twelve-stack of waffles.
"So nothing completely out of the ordinary... if we can call Hyoudou's behavior ordinary?" Rias asked in amusement at the eccentricity of the new student.
"So far, nothing, but we do know that he definitely possesses a Sacred Gear of some sort." Kiba mused, Rias nodded in understanding before coming up with an idea.
"Kiba and Koneko, I want you two to follow Issei Hyoudou for the time being. I want you to inform me of anything that happens to him." Rias ordered, Kiba and a short first year girl with white and amber eyes nodded in agreement.
'I just hope Issei's someone who can help me with my predicament.' Rias silently prayed... though the irony of someone of her race praying was not lost on her.
"Oh Rias, one thing you should know about Issei is his tremendous appetite and his unconditional love of waffles." Kiba informed with amusement laced in his tone. This information didn't surprise Rias, but she giggle anyway at Issei's eating habits. She could use this to her advantage.
Meanwhile in the abandoned church
"So what do you have on the kid with the Sacred Gear we were supposed to watch over?" asked a female with a generous bust and navy blue hair asked her companion, another female with a generous rack, but she had long black hair and violet eyes.
"He's a strange one for a human, yesterday after school, I saw him walking home and he was singing about new math or something, but he does have a Sacred Gear, no doubt about that." the woman confirmed. This woman's name was Raynare, her blue-haired companion was Kalawarner.
"So what now?" asked a man in a trench coat and fedora, this man was Dohnaseek.
"I say we lay low and watch him for now, no need to arouse any suspicion from the Devils that reside here." Raynare warned.
"So stay out of sight, watch a guy, and get ice cream while we're at it? That is an idea I can get behind." a girl with blonde hair and a maid's outfit agreed, her name was Mittelt.
"Of course, you would agree to a mission that doesn't require entering combat." Kalawarner teased, causing Mittelt to blush and pout.
"Enough, not only do we have a boy with a Scared Gear to watch, an ex-communicated nun is arriving under the false pretenses of a group of rogue priests, in which the leader is after her Sacred Gear. I've met their leader and... you do not want to tango with him." Raynare warned as she shuddered at the memory.
"So we have to watch a guy and save a girl? I guess me and Kalawarner can help out with that while you and Mittelt watch over the boy." Dohnaseek said, earning a nod from Kalawarner.
"Then it's settled, we go on our own missions for now." Raynare announced, earning nods from the rest as Kalawarner and Dohnaseek left to go deal with the rogue priests.
The next morning...
Issei spent his lunch eating under the shade of a nearby cherry blossom since he didn't like being stared at while he was eating.
"I ache for the touch of your lips, dear. But much more for the touch of your whips, dear. You can raise welts like nobody else as we dance to the masochism tango..."
Issei was completely at peace, singing Tom Lehrer's The Masochism Tango to himself until he heard mischievous giggling from nearby. Curious, Issei got up from the base of the tree to see what was going on. He was curious as to why two second year boys were pressing their faces against the wall of the Kendo Club room.
"What are you guys doing?"
The two boys jumped at the sound of Issei's voice, but their faces of shock turned to anger at the newest celebrity, but that anger turned to scheming as they instantly hatched a plan to ruin the new student's reputation. Sure, their reputation was no better, but at least they took down The Lost King of Kuoh.
"Issei, you wanna see something interesting?" asked the boy with glasses.
"That all depends, what is it?" Issei asked.
"It's a small hole that leads to the Kendo club changing room. Here, you get to see the whole package of butts and boobs." said the bald boy with a perverted grin.
"So it's the Kendo Club girls stripping? Where's the fun in that?" Issei asked, shocking the Perverted Duo and the Kendo Club (who had heard them and were listening in, hoping Issei would not be corrupted by the Duo's 'faiths and beliefs').
It was then Issei was almost quite bored to death by the Duo's preaching about the divine qualities of the female body. The female form was already something that Issei knew about, but that was mainly for school work, so he didn't pay it any mind. So Issei left the Perverted Duo in the dust, while they had not realized that Issei had already left, humming a senseless tune in tango tempo.
An hour after, news of Issei's encounter with the Perverted Duo and with how he simply ignored their attempts to 'corrupt' him, as the females called it, spread like a disease. Issei was later informed by Kiba (who they had become close friends within a week) that the two boys that he encountered were Matsuda and Motohama, or more commonly known as "The Perverted Duo" because of their shameless and perverted acts, thus gaining the title. Issei was, for lack of a better term, confused as to why two students would openly express their 'appreciation of the female form.' If they had been more subtle in the past, maybe they would get girlfriends. Maybe.
Issei was told to avoid them like the plague, to which he did, seeing as to how many people hate them and their guts, and while Issei wouldn't normally care about his social standing, what with people seeing him as insane or weird, he preferred to be away from people with bad reputations.
"Bad Reps lead to Bad Luck." Issei's foster father had told him when he was younger.
And the females of Kuoh Academy, on their part, wished to keep Issei from the Perverted Duo as much as possible. No way in hell were the Perverted Duo going to corrupt their King.
Right now, His Highness was mindlessly wandering the halls of Kuoh, the girls giving him love struck stares while guys were giving him withering glares. Issei was thinking about a fiction he wrote for English class.
"Zeht, the God of Animals"
The statues one sees throughout Dhaggerbond and parts of Vehexxen and Hullnerth that seem to be of a misshapen humanoid carrying a rod are of Zeht, The God of Animals.
The rod he (or she, no one knows the gender of the God of Animals) carries has its origin in the tale of The Bull and The Evil Farmer. It seems that one day an evil farmer decided to kill all of his animals and have a big party. As The story unfolds, animal after animal is killed and prepared for a big meal. Lastly the farmer comes to the bull and prepares to slit its throat. The bull, not wishing to be anybody's dinner, prayed very vocally to Zeht. This came out as a loud "Moo," of course.
At that very instant Zeht appeared carrying a rather large set of balance weights. Without explanation, Zeht ate the farmer and vanished. Ever since that day Zeht the Drastically Pissed, has always been portrayed as carrying a large set of scales with him. The local Zeht worshipers have no idea why and do not seem to care. Although this story has been called fanciful at best, I personally know a chinchilla who had actually talked to The Bull. That is, before the Bull became filler for the local inn's larder.
I do not have any information one way or the other about the validity of this second myth. It is, however, quite traditional.
It seems that many, many years ago, before the reign of King Jacques II, before the reign of Queen Taei III, yes, even before the age of Emperor Dwen-Xen VII (long may his name be praised!), there lived a gerbil who was the pet of Siliz, daughter of the Lord Zexeen of Qliphort. Lady Siliz loved her gerbil so, and it loved her too with all the passionate intensity a marsupial can muster.
Unfortunately, it was a time of great sorrow in Qliphort. A pestilence had come through the town, destroying all their cash crops (which consisted of raspberries and a few scraggly odd weeds that caused elderly women to look very attractive to those who partook); Then a plague had come, inflicting nearly every cobbler with chronic hiccoughs; finally a witch had cursed the townspeople so the only words any could utter were "Hmm, precisely." All the businesses, stores, and guilds fled from the town faster than an extremely fast thing.
Lady Siliz saw her father despairing the loss the town was suffering, so she brought her gerbil in and told him, "Father, my gerbil can save us all, for it is sacred to Zeht, God of Animals. The only reason I didn't tell you earlier is because I am an early adolescent going through that period when I don't like to communicate. But please, ask a wish of my gerbil, and Zeht will fulfill it, for my gerbil loves me."
The king thought this was fairly flaky, but he had nothing to lose so he uttered a modest wish to the gerbil, "All I want is for one business to come to Qliphort that will never leave no matter the calamity."
I probably should have mentioned before that the king had always been cruel to the gerbil (he used to lick it and try to make it stick to walls), so the gerbil had Zeht create an equipment store in front of the palace gate that would never go away. The royal family ended up going mad and eating one another (and ironically, the gerbil was one of the first to go). But that is why there is to this day an equipment store blocking the palace gate in Qliphort. If you don't believe me, go there and see.
The teachers and Student Council that looked this creative writing over were so perplexed by it that they sat in their respective seats with a face that said "Please tell me my sanity is still intact."
Issei was too busy thinking about his fiction that he bumped into someone who was a head or two shorter than him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice." Issei apologized as he looked down to see a young first year girl with a mop of silver hair and amber eyes looking at him with no emotion, but with a hint of curiosity and friendliness. This was Koneko Toujou, whom Issei had met in his favorite sweet shop the week before
"Oh, Koneko, it's nice to see a friendly face." Issei said with a small smile.
"It is nice to meet you too, Issei." Koneko greeted, shocking men in the immediate area. For some reason, Issei's aura made her feel warm and bubbly on the inside.
"Rias wishes to see you." Koneko said, her smile never wavering.
"Alright, lead the way, m'lady." Issei said, suddenly turning formal as Koneko blushed at the m'lady part.
Guys seethed that day.
Issei walked into the old school building with Koneko up front.
"President, I have brought Issei." Koneko said with a bow, and Rias Gremory herself looking up from her desk to see Issei Hyoudou, the Lost King of Kuoh his very self.
"Ah, Issei, please sit down. Akeno prepared tea, so help yourself, I would like to discuss things with you." Rias said as she got up from her desk and seated herself upon a couch opposite of the one Issei was seated on, Koneko sat next to him.
"Issei, do you believe in the supernatural?" Rias asked seriously, Issei only raising an elegant brow whilst looking up at the ceiling.
"I've always believed that there's more to this world than most would think, so if it does exist, then it wouldn't surprise me." Issei replied with an honest grin, Rias smiled back.
"Well, what if I were to tell you that the supernatural world is indeed real?" Rias said with a smile.
"That would certainly be fascinating, and I wish to know, why are you telling me this?" Issei asked, Rias smiled and stood up from her seat. A pair of black, leathery wings unfurled from her shoulder blades, the others in the room doing the same.
"We tell you this for we are Devils, and we suspect that you carry a Sacred Gear." Rias said as she and the rest folded their wings back and seated themselves.
"What's a Sacred Gear?" Issei asked with the curious stare.
"I'm talking about a great tool of immense power. Sacred Gears are special tools granted by God of the Bible to humans, though there have been extremely rare cases of non-humans gaining Sacred Gears. Now Issei, what I want you to do is think of the most powerful thing you can think of." Rias ordered, Issei closed his eyes and began to image a nuclear bomb. Issei started to giggle evilly at the thing that goes boom to the point where Rias and the rest were slightly unnerved by the evil laugh.
Suddenly, greenish flames erupted as a large bronze hammer that was two feet taller than Issei appeared in his hands. The hammer itself looked menacing enough, the head of the hammer itself was humongous and pulsated with an orange glow coming from the center. a single spike protruded from the two faces of the head of the hammer and a larger spike from the top of the head. Greenish runes blanketed the hammer.
Rias and the others stared in shock of the Sacred Gear, knowing what it was and the amount of complete and utter devastation the hammer could bring.
"Volendrung..." Rias whispered as she laid eyes upon the most destructive and powerful Sacred Gear of them all, the True Longinus coming in second and Zenith Tempest coming in third.
The Hammer of Might, Thor's Rival, The Spurn Star, The Hammer of Monarchs, The Foe Hammer. Volendrung was a hammer that was capable of destroying all the Underworld with a single swing, and while it was known about for generations for being wielded by God at one point in time. But with Issei being its second wielder, that meant that they could learn more about the Hammer of Might. But that also meant that Issei had the biggest edge in battle because no one knows what the hammer does, so Issei would have the element of surprise.
"Congratulations, Issei, you have unlocked your Sacred Gear. This is the Hammer of Might, Volendrung, the most powerful Sacred Gear of them all. It is now yours." Rias said as she watched Issei twirl the hammer around as if it were lighter than a feather.
'Fuuuuuuuuuun...' Issei thought as he looked at his new weapon of mass destruction.
It had been two hours since Rias invited Issei to the club room, Rias explained what the supernatural world involved, the Three Factions, the Civil War that occurred for the last two hundred years, the current cease fire going on since the death of the original Four Satans of the Underworld, and so on. Issei also believed it necessary to talk about himself, saying that he had no clue just who his true parents were and he had spent a large portion of his life in the same, grey orphanage with his adopted sister, Aika. The lady that ran the orphanage, Madame Magenta, was very nice and told Issei that he was found in a strange bronze container she had found outside her door just after a thunderstorm. Not too strange, but strange either way.
"That is indeed strange, could you describe the bronze container you were in?" Rias asked, very curious as to what Issei was found in. Issei shrugged and said that the container looked Greek in origin, but they couldn't find out more as the container had disappeared.
'A strange, Greek-looking container after the events of a thunderstorm? This is weird, even for me.' Rias thought until she reminded herself her next objective. Rias looked towards her objective as he pulled out a glass of water from the inside of his jacket and took several gulps of the pure liquid.
"Where did you get that?" Koneko was the one to ask Rias' question.
"From my pocket." Issei said as if it were a completely trivial matter. Koneko seemed confused, and frankly, so did everybody else.
"How do you keep a glass of water in your pocket?" Kiba asked.
"Skills." was all Issei said before downing the rest of the glass' contents and placing it back in his pocket. Internally, Rias was frightened, if not, scared of the outcome of her next question. Rias would have to choose her next words carefully, this was the wielder of Volendrung for Satan's sake! With this kind of power at her side, she could easily defeat Riser and free herself from this damnable marriage. That and it would secure a large amount of power for her brother, her family, and herself.
That last part may sound greedy, but Devils are greedy and are attracted to power by nature, so you can't exactly blame her for thinking that. However, they would have to save that for a much later time, even if Issei had a powerful hammer with enough power to utterly destroy a god with minimal effort.
The look on Sona's face though...
"Issei, I have a proposition to make for the both of us." Rias said, the others in the room besides Issei tensed at stared intently at the King of Insanity.
"I'm all ears." Issei said while still maintaining his carefree grin.
"Issei, do you remember what I said about us Devils having peerages when we come of age and/or rank?" Rias asked as Issei recounted what Rias said about peerages.
Devils, though those of high-class or of pure descent, would be the King of a peerage containing eight Pawns, two Rooks, two Bishops, two Knights, and one Queen. Issei remembered that Akeno was the Queen of Rias' peerage, Kiba was a Knight Of One, and Koneko was a Rook Of One. Rias actually had a Bishop Of One, Gasper Vladi, but he was sealed away since his power was currently unstable. That and Gasper was very much afraid of people in general.
Pawns are the mundane pieces and anyone who was a Pawn had no Piece Traits to use. Pawns were the foot soldiers and were the more expendable pieces. Pawns were able to Promote to utilize the Piece Traits of a piece of the Pawn's choice, except for the King.
The Queen was the jack of all trades and can use the Piece Traits of all the other pieces except for the Pawn. The power of Queens of your average peerage are usually second to or on par with the King.
The Knight was classified as the Assault Piece, Strike Piece, or Force Piece. Knights utilize speed and quick reflexes, but are the glass cannons of the set.
The Rook classified as the Tank Piece, Guard Piece, or Juggernaut Piece. Rooks utilize excellent defense and possess colossal strength. Many Rooks are powerhouses and are typically the bodyguards of the King and Queen.
The Bishops classify as the Magic Piece, Healer Piece, Cleric Piece, or Adviser Piece. The Bishops carry larger magicka pools than the Knight, Rook, or Pawn. You would sometimes see Bishops as the healer of the set, or the King's advisers.
"Yes, I remember quite acutely of what a peerage is. Why do you ask?" Issei asked innocently with his head cocking to the side.
"Would you like to join my peerage?" Rias asked. Issei had sort of expected her to ask for some reason.
"That depends, which piece do you think I should be?"
"I think you would make a fantastic Rook alongside Koneko." Rias said. Issei looked in Koneko's direction to see her staring right into his eyes. Doe brown stared into shining amber. After a full minute of staring, Koneko smiled and Issei kept his signature grinned.
"I don't mind." Koneko said, liking the concept of not being the only Rook in her King's peerage.
"I think he will make a fine addition." Kiba added his two cents.
"Things will get a lot more interesting with you around." Akeno said with a giggle.
"Issei, what is your answer?" Rias asked, while silently praying to the stars that Issei will say yes.
. . .
"Sure, I got nothing better to do." Issei said in a very cheerful manner.
So I decided to make Issei a part of Rias' peerage, but I wanted to spice things up a bit by making Issei a different piece instead of the Pawn. And for those of you that want to see an SAO fanfiction, I will be making a poll on what it should be about.
1: Kirito is a demigod. But of of which parent? Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades?
2: An alternate universe where since time immemorial, demihumans have lived among mortalkind. Kirito and co. attend an institute where they discover their demihuman power. I already have a demihuman species for Kirito in mind.
