AN: Ughh I re-read my story the Angel Greatest Treasure and gagged at how horribly I wrote that. So you can consider this the rewrite of it. It will not be so horribly rushed for one thing. Another thing I will not be giving Issei the Boosted Gear but I will give him another sacred gear that isn't really well known or used ever, which is Innovate Clear.
AN 2: I am going to have fun with a few theories about DxD. One particular one will pertain to the fact that it is said in DxD canon that if a wielder is powerful enough he/she can kill a god with a Longinus. This leads me to believe that Every Longinus has an offensive ability. So things like Dimension Lost with it's blocking ability I am sure we haven't seen everything it's capable of. The second thing was that it's a fact that the biblical God created the sacred gears and Longinus and he/she(As DxD can be rather iffy about who is and isn't female) had access to numerous powerful artifacts and beings to seal away into the Longinus and I will play on that here. Spoiler: I am talking about Innovate Clear and it's alternate name Miniature Garden of the Green Tree of Innovation. I think people will like my theory of it. At least I hope.
AN 3: Now beta'd by NexusPrime42!
New Summary: A young boy blessed by two being's of great power will be the Angels greatest treasure. How will things change when the factions power shifts.
Warnings: OOC Issei, Harem(It's DxD so ya know).

A young boy of 8 years sat on a bench in a park in the city of Kuoh. His name was Issei Hyoudo. He had messy blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. He had a sad smile on his face as he sat there. A peculiar thing about him were the purple tattoos adorned on the left side of his body. Right under his left eye was a purple tattoo in the shape of a lightning bolt. His left arm and leg were adorned with intricate purple tattoos as well as the left side of his chest that you could see through the tattered clothing he was wearing. He was currently over looking the park he was in with a sad smile seeing all the kids with their parents having fun.
He heard footsteps beside and turned to see an old man approaching him. He was draped in a hood and had two puppets in his hands. "Excuse me little boy but may I interest you in the glory of something called Oppai?" the old man asked. Issei felt a horrible vibe coming from the man and had to withhold a shiver.
"No thank you sir my parents warned me to not talk to strangers." Issei hurriedly said before he rushed from where he was not looking where he was going.
He ran for about 5 minutes before he felt himself crash into something.
XXXX
An attractive older male who looked like he was in his late twenties was currently walking with his hands in his pockets towards a park. He was dressed in a purple silk button up shirt along with black slacks and black shoes. He had black messy hair with a blonde fringe and a goatee. He gave off that bad boy vibe like the type of guy you want to hide from your parents.
This man was known as Azazel and he was not a human but actually was apart of a race known as Fallen Angels. Angels who fell from Heaven because they sinned. He was no lowly cannon fodder either. He was the second known Archangel and leader of the Fallen Angels faction known as the Grigori.
The reason he was walking towards the park was because he could feel the energy source of a sacred gear that gave off but it was being diluted by a powerful holy energy.
He had almost reached it before he was hit in the side and fell down.
XXXX
Issei groaned as he sat up rubbing his head from hitting something. He looked up to see an older male rubbing his side. The man opened his eyes and looked at Issei in annoyance, before he looked in curiosity as Issei was just sitting there looking at him with blank eyes.
"Hey kid are y-" Azazel was interrupted though when the kid raised his hand and placed it on his head. Then he spoke in a voice that was definitely not his and sounded like a thousand voices speaking together.
"Fallen one return to the holy realm, Rejoice for I have given you back your purity, it's time for you to join your siblings once more." Issei said before he passed out. Azazel just sat there in shock as he recognized the voice that just spoke. It sounded just like his father, but that was impossible he was there when he died. His curiosity peaked he examined the kid before him noticing he was the source of the sacred gear energy and holy power, although now that he was closer he felt that the sacred gear energy was holy power. He wondered who this boy was.
Deciding to use a memory spell he delved into the boys memories. He grimaced at what they boy had already gone through. His mother died in childbirth and his father abandoned him a year ago at the abandoned church in the town not believing he was his son as Issei had blonde hair and blue eyes, while he had brown hair and brown eyes along with his mother. Azazel snorted at that. The holy power that he was being saturated in since he was in his mothers womb was the cause of that. It was the reasons all angels had either green or blue eyes since those color represented purity, along with most having blonde hair. Then he noticed the boys holy grail so to speak was a young girl he had played with in the park everyday. She even brought him food everyday and was the reason he had not died from starvation, though he was still malnourished. He chuckled at the fact that Issei thought Iri-kun was a boy. He noticed that the girl said she would return tomorrow with her parents to see if they could live together. He frowned not knowing what to do at the moment as he wanted the boy to live a happy life with the girl and her parents, but now that Azazel knew about him he needed to be watched. He also sensed some hazy memories as if they were blocked away from Azazel almost like someone placed a spell on him to make it to where they were protected. Azazel couldn't even access them.
Still though he felt different at the words the boy said and he felt something entering his body when he touched him and he had a sneaking suspicion as to what it was when re running what he said through his head. He opened his wings behind his back and fell back in shock. His wings they were white again! He could even feel the peaceful feeling that all angels had. What was weirder was that he still had pervy thought's and his wings weren't even flickering.
Deciding he needed to get to the bottom of this he grabbed the still passed out boy and activated a teleportation spell to send him to the Grigori. Not knowing that the girl in Issei's memory's was on her way with her parents to pick up Issei.
XXXX
Arriving in his office he called in an attendant and told them to take the boy to the infirmary and to inform him when he awoke. Once he was gone he used a spell to alert the leaders of the Grigori that an emergency meeting was to undergo and that attendance was mandatory. A minute later seven magic circles formed and four men and three women teleported into the room with Azazel. They all sat down at a long table that was there for meetings like these. The seven that came in were the other leaders of the Grigori. They were Shemhazai, Baraqiel, Kokabiel, Armaros, Sariel, Penemue, and Tamiel.
Shemhazai was a big man with blonde hair. He would have an intimidating presence if it were not for the fact that he radiated the mother hen type of feeling after dealing with Azazel for so many years.
Baraqiel was another big man his eyes were closed but gave off the feeling he could still see and he had a frown on his face as he was dragged in a meeting during his time with his wife and daughter, he had short black hair.
Kokabiel was a tall skinny man compared to the other two and had long black hair. He had red eyes and pointed ears showing how far he allowed himself to be corrupted after falling. His bloodthirsty grin did not help things either.
Armaros used to be the most purest of angels before he was corrupted by the sins and allowed himself to delve into them. He had black hair tied into a topknot and an easy going smile on his face. He had tan skin because he spent most of his time with girls at beaches.
Sariel had the appearance of of a teen. She had long messy silvery blue hair and red eyes. She was dressed in a fluffy short purple dress with white sleeves and a purple bow. The young appearance did not fool anybody though because she was not named 'God's Command' for nothing as she had the ability to command God's army's.(Sariel from Tohou. If you Google it she should be the first picture.).
Penemue was a woman who held the very definition dangerous beauty. She had soft pale skin that her midnight black wavy hair contrasted to perfectly. It was brushed to hang over the right side of her body. She had piercing amber eyes that looked like magma rose behind them. She wore a dark red off the shoulder, v-neck mini dress adorned with golden designs down the arms. A scarlet scarf like extension hanging off the right side and black glass high-heels finished the outfit. She was the lead healer of the Grigori.(Cinder from RWBY).
Tamiel was another dangerous beauty type. She had a cute smile and long pink hair tied into twin tails. She wore a black mini dress and long black socks with black heels. She was a perfectionist and the one to make sure plans go according to orders. She was also the one to execute traitors.(Yuno Gasai from Mirai Nikki).
"So Azazel what have you called us for now? Another one of your inventions?" Sariel asked sounding sleepy like she had just woke up to come to the meeting.
"No it's something far more serious." Azazel said with a serious face. This caught the attention of everyone there as Azazel was rarely a serious person only when the situation was dire.
"While searching for a sacred gear holder I sensed in a town in japan, I ran into an interesting boy. He was leaking a large amount of holy power. He also happened to be the sacred gear holder." Azazel began. This did not interest any of the leaders their as he could have just been the descendant of an exorcist with a sacred gear. "I found him by him literally running into me. When we locked eyes though he went in a trance and spoke in a voice that was not his and one I have not heard for hundreds of years." Azazel continued. This had the others interest peaked now.
"He said 'Fallen one return to the holy realm, Rejoice for I have given you back your purity, it's time to join your siblings once more.' while touching my head. I felt some type of energy entering my body and the voice he spoke in was fathers." Azazel said seriously. Gasp of surprise rang out in the room at this.
"What does this mean?" Armaros asked foregoing his easygoing attitude.
"I don't know but that wasn't the biggest shock." Answered Azazel. At seeing their inquisitive looks he opened his wings and to their utter shock they were pure white again. Azazel looked at them fondly. "I know shocked the hell out of me as well. The more important thing though is the fact that I cannot fall." Azazel informed them. To further prove his point he called in his assistant again which was a low ranked female fallen and made out with her whilst also messing with her memory so she didn't see his white wings. All the leaders noticed there were no change or flickering in his wings. Once the assistant was gone they all sat in an oppressive silence at the revelations.
"What does this mean for the factions?" Shemhazai asked to break the factions.
"If that boy can do what I suspect he can do then the factions power will shift because we could rejoin Heaven. The devils wouldn't have a lead with numbers and the ability to procreate freely either if the boy could do this to all angels." Azazel answered him.
"Can we see him? Did you bring him to the Grigori?" Baraqiel asked.
"Yes I brought him. He passed out after it was over though and is in the infirmary." Azazel said. Then a small magic circle appeared next to his head and someone on the other side inform him of something.
"It would seem he is awake now actually. We can go see him now. Though be warned it happened the second we made eye contact so the one to talk to him either needs to be me or someone else that's ready to have their white wings back again." Azazel said.
"I will do it Azazel." Sariel said. Azazel looked at her with a nod. "From what I gathered in his memories he is unaware of the supernatural but he always felt a connection with anything holy related. I will look up his family ancestry to see where he comes from." Azazel informed them as they all got up and walked towards the infirmary.
XXXX
In the infirmary Issei groaned as he woke up on a soft bed for the first time in a year. He opened his blue eyes and looked over the white room he found himself in. Smelling antiseptic he figured he was in a hospital. He noticed he had an I.V. attached to his arm. He looked around the white room and noticed his tattered clothing was on a table in the corner of the room and he had a hospital gown on.
He then smelled something that made him drool and noticed a plate of food had been set out for him in the form of bacon and eggs and some toast. He quickly scarfed down the food having not had a full meal in a long time. What he did not know was that he was being watched by the 8 leaders of the Grigori.
Outside the room looking through the one way window were the 8 leaders of the Grigori. "So that's the boy Azazel? He is quite cute." muttered Sariel. Penemue and Tamiel agreed with her. Kokabiel looked at the boy with an impassive face not showing his emotions while Azazel, Shemhazai, Baraqiel, and Armaros looked at him in intrigue. "I can see what you mean by him radiating holy power. I am surprised he hasn't been found by another faction yet." Baraqiel said.
"Especially since he was in a devils territory with Kuoh." Shemhazai agreed.
"Well I might as well go in there and talk to him now that he is done eating." Sariel said. She then walked to the door and opened it walking into the room letting the door close behind her.
Issei looked up at the person that walked into his room. She looked like she was a teenager and she was really pretty in his eyes. "Hello Issei-kun. My name is Sariel." Sariel said introducing herself.
"Oh like the angel named 'God's Command' in the bible. It says she fell-" whatever Issei was going to continue to say was interrupted as he finally locked eyes with Sariel, as she introduced herself while walking into the room and sitting down and he did not lock eyes with her until she sat down. His eyes went blank and then he spoke in the voice Azazel described.
"Fallen one return to the holy realm, Rejoice for I have given you back your purity, it's time for you to join your siblings once more" Issei spoke as he placed a hand on Sariel's head who was too shocked to move. Sure she knew Azazel said he sounded like father but hearing it in person is whole different matter. She was sure her fellow fallen siblings in the other room were shocked to hear it as well.
Then she felt a calm peaceful feeling overwhelm her entire body and her ten black wings burst from her back before they bleached to a pure white. She looked back at her wings with a tearful smile having missed their white color. She did not mean to fall but she was curious of the pleasure of flesh and fell because of that. She turned to see a panting Issei and she hugged him tightly in thanks.
"Thank you for returning their color to me." she whispered in his ear. Issei just stood there shocked and confused. "Wait your the real Sariel? How did I turn you back into an Angel. I am really confused." Issei muttered causing Sariel to giggle.
"Calm down Issei and let me explain something to you." she said. Issei nodded as he felt calm just being around her. Of course he felt calm around anything holy related so it might be related to that.
She then went on to explain to him how every supernatural thing existed flipping his tiny world upside down. She explained how the three biblical factions had been at war for years, and that their number were dwindling.
"Although that's where you come in Issei." Sariel said confusing him.
"Hmm what do you mean Sariel-chan?" Issei asked as he had become comfortable around her through the time it took to explain things.
"You see you were able to make me an Angel again just like you did for our leader Azazel. Azazel also proved that we weren't able to fall again either." Sariel began. Issei nodded following along still unsure how he did it.
"Which means we can join Heaven again and restore our number now. Azazel also explained to us that your a scared gear holder. You remember what I said about them correct?" Sariel asked.
"Yea they are humans blessed by the biblical God to wield artifacts he created. Do you know which one mine is?" Issei asked interested to know his super cool power. He was only 8 after all.
"Hmm this is more Azazel's department as he researches them." Sariel said and in that moment Azazel walked in. "Perfect timing Azazel he wants to know which Sacred gear he has." Sariel said to him as he entered the room.
"Oh so he knows everything then?" Azazel asked and Sariel nodded. Azazel then turned to the kid. "Hmm well from what I sensed it's dragon related as you have a Draconic energy coming off of you that is heavily diluted by your holy energy. The best way to unlock it is to think of the strongest person you know and mimic them." Azazel said.
Issei put a hand on his chin and thought of something although before he could do it he was stopped by Azazel. "Woah there sometimes their activation can be explosive so let's go outside. Also put this on." Azazel said handing him a blind fold to his confusion.
Seeing his confusion Azazel explained. "Your in a building that is filled with fallen angels. I have noticed that every time you make eye contact with one you go into a trance like state. You would probably pass out again if you have to keep doing that before we could even get outside." Azazel explained. Issei nodded and wrapped his eyes. Sariel then grabbed his hand and lead him out of the room with Azazel following excited to see which one it was. The other leaders were there as well following curious as to what else made the boy special.
It took them ten minutes to get outside since the building was so large. The leaders besides Sariel and Azazel were told to stay back so that Issei didn't make eye contact even though he could feel them their. They were in a field filled with plants that was a garden that served as a relaxation place for the Grigori.
Sariel removed his blindfold then. "Alright Issei give it a try." she said smiling at him. He nodded he held his hands to the sky as if he were wielding a sword. It was the stance King Arthur first took when he pulled Caliburn out of the stone. Issei had read a picture book about it and thought he looked cool like that.
Then to everyone's amazement holy energy started gathering at a fast pace where his hands were. Creating a golden radiance. Then a shining silver sword appeared in his hands. It had two golden roses on the guard with the golden thorn stems spiraling down the blade. Then Silver Thorny vines full of golden blooming roses sprouted from the ground cradling Issei as if to protect him. That combined with the shining silver sword and the golden light Issei was radiating created a truly beautiful sight to behold.
All those in attendance watched on in awe. Then Azazel stepped forward his mouth opened in awe as well followed with a look of a great amount of intrigue like he wanted to study Issei.
"Truly amazing. I have always wanted to find it's user." Azazel said looking at the sword in Issei's hands. Issei had already left the pose and was over looking his sacred gear.
"What is it Azazel?" Kokabiel asked curious and with narrowed eyes.
"That's one of the Longinus, Innovate Clear." he answered earning more gasp of surprise. 'Although that does not make sense, why does he have that dragon scent on him?' Azazel wondered in his head.
"Are you sure? If so this is unprecedented as he is the first user we have found to possess it." Penemue said in amazement.
"Yes I would recognize it anywhere. I was there when father made it and it was the last Longinus made. He took the holy sword Joyeuse and sealed the Garden of Eden in it. It created a blade that had the ability to control nature. Also since sacred gears needed a sentient spirit sealed in them to not go out of control he sealed the angel who guarded Eden Raziel into it." Azazel said in reverence as he looked at the blade before it faded into golden light and Issei fell face first on the ground passed out in exhaustion. His young body not able to sustain holding it out for that long. Plus he instinctively used it's nature powers to create the vines that surrounded him.
The silence that followed those statements were deafening. For one Raziel's whereabouts were unknown to all except for the two archangels Azazel and Michael. To here that he was willingly sealed into one of the Longinus was a shock as he was the third archangel and the angel that guarded god's secrets.
"So your saying that is basically the most powerful holy sword in existence? As well as being a Longinus class sacred gear? Why is it not more well known by now?" Sariel asked.
"Because god kept it's existence a secret before he died. Then Michael and I were the only two to know of it and we just couldn't locate any of it's wielders after the war. The lower levels were not told enough information to locate it either as we never told anyone of it's true powers and origin." Azazel said as he picked up Issei and started to carry him back to the Infirmary.
"Is Raziel being sealed into the blade the reason he has all that holy power?" Tamiel asked. She looked at Issei with a blush before turning to Azazel.
"Yes most likely." Azazel answered her.
"I see so what do we do now?" she asked.
"Now I contact Michael and let him know what we have discovered. Then when Issei awakes we begin converting fallen angels starting from the highest ranked members first." Azazel said. The leaders nodded showing they agreed except for Kokabiel who narrowed his eyes and split off from the group.
"Azazel I will take the boy from hear since I am the head of healing. You go and contact Michael." Penemue said. Azazel nodded and handed Issei to her before heading to his office. The other leaders taking this s a dismissal also went to what they were doing before. Sariel and Tamiel followed Penemue though.
XXXX
With Azazel
He had just entered his office and closed the doors behind him before going to his chair and sitting at his desk. He opened a magic circle in front of him that took the shape of a screen. It was static before it turned into an image of a blonde haired man with green eyes and a kind smile. Above his head was a golden halo and on his back were twelve golden wings.
"Azazel? Why have you called me?" he asked curious. He noticed Azazel's serious face and knew this wasn't a social call.
"We need to talk about something serious. I have discovered something that will change the future of our factions." Azazel said. He then let out his wings and to Michael's shock they were white again!
"What how?" Michael asked confused.
"I ran into a special kid who has the power to purify a fallen and turn them into an angel again. What's more is that I can't fall." Azazel informed him. Michael sat there in shock for a minutes.
"What does this mean for our two factions then? I would gladly allow you access to heaven once again and let all our siblings return home but we would need time. We would have to slowly integrate you all again as your a completely different faction, plus there may still be some resentment from the war." Michael said bringing up valid points.
"You are correct, but I believe that the kid I found could be the bridge between our two factions. He is also the wielder of Innovate Clear." Azazel answered him. Michael widened his eyes.
"He is? Do you think that's one of it's ability's then? We never did know the full scale of it's abilitys." Michael asked. Azazel shook his head. "No that's something else. When he was converting me into an angel again he spoke in Father's voice. The only thing I can think of was that he was a fail safe in God's system." Azazel said to him.
"I see. So how do you believe he can be the bridge?" Michael asked.
"Did you finish the creation of the Brave Saints?" Azazel asked. Michael widened his eyes again. "Yes I did. We actually already reincarnated our first angel. He was an exorcist by the name of Dulio Gesualdo. You want me to reincarnate him?" Michael asked.
"Yes and then allow him to be apart of the Grigori showing the trust between our two factions, which will lead to us fully coming together once again. Although I do not fully know the effect it will have since Raziel is sealed into his soul." Azazel explained to him.
"I see yes I can allow this. Although he would need a Joker card most likely since he would be to powerful for the other cards. I have used my Joker already of Dulio so I will ask Gabriel for her help in this." Michael said. Azazel nodded.
"When can I expect to see you?" Azazel asked.
"Give me a few hours. Such things need to be taken care of quickly." Michael said. Azazel nodded and closed the circle. He then got up and headed to the Infirmary to see if Issei is awake.
XXXX
Issei was awake and was currently being fussed over by a now angel Penemue. As soon as he woke up he found himself face to face with two more beautiful women in the form of Tamiel and Penemue. It was a mistake on the girls parts as Issei still had no control over whatever power he used and converted both of them causing his stamina to fall drastically.
This was why Penemue was fussing over him as he was dead tired. Converting one Archangel and three cadre-class angels along with awakening his Longinus-class sacred gear had taken it's toll on him.
Sariel and Tamiel stood to the side worried about the kid. Sariel liked him because he brought back her wings to her while Tamiel was captivated by the beauty he created when he awoke his sacred gear.
"Ok your stable now." Penemue said as her hands stopped radiating green healing magic. "Sorry about that Issei. I forgot it activated with eye contact. Now let us introduce ourselves. I am Penemue and the head healer of the Grigori." Penemue said introducing herself. Then Tamiel came up. "I am Tamiel and your to young to learn of my job." she said smiling at him.
"It's nice to meet you." Issei said smiling. He felt a lot better after whatever Penemue did to him so he was is a good mood. Just then Azazel walked in.
"Ahh your awake good." Azazel said spotting Issei.
"Hello Azazel-san." Issei said greeting him.
"Alright I have some news for you but first I have a question. Did you meet someone strange in the last year. Someone maybe dragon like?" Azazel asked. Issei put on a confused face at the question.
"Why?" Issei asked.
"Your giving of the power of a dragon for some reason and I thought it was your sacred gear at first but now that I know what it is I was wrong." Azazel explained. This cleared up why he was asking this for everyone in the room.
"Well one night when I felt like I was about to die from starvation a girl who looked maybe 4 or 5 years older than me walked in the church. She said she had been watching me for awhile and that I was interesting and that I may be of help to her. She said some weird words next and touched me and then all these tattoos appeared on my body." Issei explained pointing to the tattoos on the left side of his body.
"I was wondering why you had those." Azazel muttered looking them over. "What happened next?" he asked.
"Well I felt a thousand times better and had all this energy. Then she said she would find me again one day to ask for my payment of my debt for her saving my life." Issei said.
"Did she say her name?" Azazel asked wondering who it was Issei had been in contact with and why they could give somebody a dragons power.
"Yea she said her name was Ophis." Issei answered with a smile making everybody there do a spit-take.
"WHAT!" they shouted confusing Issei as to what the problem was.
