Chapter 1 Enter Ddraig!

It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, the streets were bustling, and there was a boy by a lamppost. In his hand was a cup of ramen that he was slurping. The boy had brown hair that was mostly combed down with a few spiked parts, he also had brown eyes and a bandage on his right cheek. The boy was one Hyoudou Issei, high school dropout. He wore a red jacket, a black shirt with the words "You look better on social media", blue jeans and white sneakers. He felt his phone buzz as he finished his ramen

"Ahh." He sighed in a refreshed manner. "Now that I've got my daily protein." He tossed the empty ramen cup into a nearby bin and looked at his phone "It's from Kazu-Nii. Better get too it" He went into a nearby alley where a red motorcycle was hiding and took out what appeared to be a small red bottle and began shaking it

Meanwhile…

At a recently closed down factory, four teenagers wearing school uniforms were looking around the main interior of the building. Three were girls and one a boy.

"Are you certain this is the place, Akeno?" the boy asked.

"Yes, Kiba." replied one of the girls, a tall Japanese one with black hair tied in ponytail and a large bust. "There have been multiple disappearances here, causing the factory to be closed. We were then asked to investigate since this is most likely the work of a stray devil. Isn't that right Rias?"

"Yes." responded the red head European girl whose bust was just as large as Akeno's. "As the devils in charge of this area, it is our duty to eliminate those who have gone astray." She said with pride. She then noticed the expression on the fourth member of their party, a petite girl with white hair and a practically flat chest. "Is something wrong Koneko?"

"Trouble" was Koneko's only response before they were suddenly attacked by a humanoid creature with wolf like claws and fur along its body

The four were caught completely off guard and unable to defend themselves, resulting in being thrown across the large space, the creature gave another growl and charged again. However the four where ready this time and jumped out the way

"It's tough" responded the petite girl.

"Akeno, Kiba, Koneko! Enter formation and attack" the three immediately sprang into action as Kiba charged at the monster with his sword and cut part of its torso. The monster roared as Koneko suddenly jumped up and kicked it across the room. The creature charged again before being zapped by lightning by Akeno. The three continued this attack pattern until the creature was on the ground twitching. "Well done everyone. Now let's finish-" Rias's words were cut off as a large stream of mist shot towards the creature and surrounded it. When the mist dispersed, the humanoid creature had turned into a proper monster. It had grown twice its previous size and had more wolfish features than before with sharp fangs, longer claws and white fur along its entire body. "What the-" Rias's words were cut off as the monster, in a burst of speed, charged past Akeno, Kiba and Koneko and smacked Rias into the wall

"Rias!" yelled her companions. The monster rushed at the three and knocked them to the ground and roared again. The teens rose up and charged at the monster only to be knocked down again

Just as Rias began to lose hope of surviving, one of the doors was smashed down by a new figure riding a red motorcycle. The motorcycle continued past the door and rammed right into the monster "Looks like Kazu-Nii was right. There was a smash here" Rias took a look at the new figure. The figure was wearing what looked like bright red spandex suit with dark red bits of armour wrapped around him with green flames painted around the armour parts. His eyes were bright green and shaped like the head of a dragon. Around his waist was a strange black belt with a small folded up mechanical dragon inserted into it. (Think Cross-Z suit with Ddraig colour scheme). The new figure jumped off the motorcycle and landed on the floor. The wolf monster charged at the red figure but was stopped due to being pelted by bullets from a strange weapon the new figure had.

It was definitely a gun. It had a black handle, which was attached to the barrel which was oddly shaped like a large cone. The figure then detached the barrel and flipped it around before attaching it to another part of the handle, making it resemble a drill like sword which surprised everyone.

The monster let out another roar and jumped at the new figure, though the red man rolled out the way and slashed the monster with the sword, pushing it back. The red man then charged at the monster and attacked it again

The four teens were watching the battle when they heard a familiar voice call out "Rias!" Turning, they saw two girls in the same uniform as theirs running up to them. Recognizing the two to be Sona and Tsubaki, Rias called out to them as acknowledgement of hearing their earlier call. As they got closer, Sona started saying, "We were in the area when we heard the sounds of a battle. What exactly is going on?!" As briefly as she could, Rias explained everything that had happened. "Frankly," Sona said, "I'm just as confused yet amazed as you are." The six of them refocused their attention on the action as the red man practically knock around the monster that had injured them.

"I should finish this now!" the red man said in an annoyed voice. He tossed the sword to the side and started turning the lever on his belt and got into a stance. Around him an ethereal image of a large red dragon appeared and started to thrash around as a voice was heard

"ARE YOU READY? EMPEROR FINISH!"

The red man then jumped at the monster as his leg started glowing and kicked right through it, causing the monster to explode and a small clear bottle to land on the ground.

"Incredible!" Akeno gasped. "That was amazing! He completely defeated the monster that nearly killed us"

Letting out a soft breath, the red man looked down and saw the clear bottle. He bent down and picked it up before he began talking to himself, though he was still loud enough for the 6 students to hear him from where they were.

"Looks like Sento-Nii was right. Someone has started recreating smashes. But where did they get the nebula gas to do this….." As he trailed off he picked up his motorcycle which had fallen in a corner of the room and sat down on it. He then took out a phone and started texting certain people.

After he sent the last text, he realized he had a group of eavesdroppers. Looking over to the students, he said aloud, "Looks like Kaichou and Fukukaichou have joined the party." At this, Sona and Tsubaki stiffened slightly. Kiba was the first from their group to talk.

"Excuse me, but who are you?" he asked warily.

"Kamen Rider" came Issei's reply. "Kamen Rider Ddraig" he said, straightening his back with pride. As he uttered the name both Rias and Sona had shocked looks on their faces.

"That's quite a title." Akeno giggled. "But why Kamen rider?"

"Well Kamen means "Masked" and I ride a motorcycle so Kamen rider"

"Hold it right there!" Rias declared. She had a cross look on her face and arms crossed right underneath her breasts, causing them to jiggle which caught Issei's attention making him mutter, "Damn, they're big."

"Who are you really?!" Rias demanded.

"I just told you. I'm…"

"I mean your real name!" She yelled, causing her three friends to jump a bit, though they did realize the validity of her question.

"Don't concern yourself over something like that Gremory-Senpai. Hopefully, you won't even see me again."

"In that case," Sona started. "As the Student Council President, I demand that you reveal your name as a fellow student!" At this declaration, all eyes were focused on Ddraig, not in wonder as before, but glaring. It was so intense, they could hear Ddraig gulp.

"What makes you say that I go to Kuoh?" he said nervously.

"First of all, I never said we were from Kuoh."

"It's obvious from your uniforms."

"You addressed Akeno as Senpai."

"Her uniform indicates she is a third year student."

"You recognized the two of us as Kaichou and Fukukaichou." Sona said, pointing to herself and Tsubaki.

"I overheard the other 4 referring to you like that!" Ddraig responded, with a hint of nervousness and desperation in his voice. Though the others spotted the lie, they did not bring it up.

"Well then," Rias began, "How do you explain the fact that you know my name!" At this, Ddraig faulted, unable to come up with an answer. "Well?" she implored as she and the others started to step forward, Ddraig immediately revved up his motorcycle and drove, causing Rias to shout "Hold it!" Ddraig then stopped by the entrance and looked at them all.

"Sorry, But it's better you forget this night. Sayonara, senpai." He called back as he drove off.

"Rias, shall we pursue and stop him?" Akeno asked, ready to spread her wings.

"No, don't!" was her response. At this, Kiba, Koneko, and Akeno looked at her questioningly.

"She's right." Sona cut in. "He doesn't seem to know that we are devils. It would be better if it stayed that way. Especially since we do not know his own allegiance." Hearing this, the others nodded in understanding. Sona continued with, "Tomorrow, Tsubaki and I will look into this Ddraig now that we know he is most definitely a student at Kuoh."

Rias then took Sona aside "Sona. That name it's the same as…." Rias trailed off as Sona shook her head "Rias. The emperor dragons are just stories. It's just a coincidence that he has the same name" (Yes in this story the red and white dragon emperors are myths to the devils)

"Very well then." Rias nodded slowly. "See you tomorrow."

Next Day

At his house, Issei was finishing up the morning dishes while talking to himself out loud… again.

"Who would be dumb enough to start making smash again….. Also even if they wanted to how did they get the nebula gas to do so?" With a troubled look on his face, he dried his hands and began picking up his jacket and keys. He took out the grey bottle that the smash dropped last night. "This is a copy of the wolf bottle….. How on earth could someone make a copy of a fullbottle?" "Sento-Nii hasn't returned my text yet, so I should probably scope the town. There's bound to be another smash sooner and later" He left his house and drove off on his motorcycle

Later, at Kuoh Academy…

After school, Rias and her friends had gathered outside the student council room, waiting for Sona and Tsubaki to join them. In the meantime, they had begun talking amongst themselves.

"Did you manage to find anything about the stray devil transformed into yesterday?" Kiba asked.

"Sadly no." Rias responded while shaking her head. "all we know is that Ddraig called it a "smash". Yet, in my search, I could not find any reference to it."

"Annoying" was Koneko's response as she snacked on a Pockie stick.

"Indeed." Akeno said. She then noticed the look on Rias's face. "Ara Ara, is something the matter Buchou?"

"No. It's just that im worried in case another one of these "Smash" appear. Also Ddraig knew my name" Rias said.

"That probably means he is a student here." Kiba said with a nod.

"Maybe not" came Sona's voice. The 4 turned to see her and Tsubaki walk towards them, both holding some folders in their hands.

"What do you mean by that?" Akeno asked.

"Well due to the school becoming co-ed only last year there aren't that many male students." Tsubaki clarified. "However there is also the possibility that this "Ddraig" is either a drop out, or a delinquent."

"Unfortunately," Sona continued, "such students are removed from the database after sometime and put on paper. We only just now retrieved the files." indicating the files the two of them were holding. As the six began walking together, they continued their conversation. "If this does not produce results, then we'll have to look into the title of Kamen Rider." Sona continued, getting a series of nods from the others.

"Frankly, I'm surprised that there are that many students who haven't been to school for so long that they are removed from the databases." Rias commented.

"Indeed," Sona replied. "We were tempted to ask around, but seeing as we do not know the real name of this 'Ddraig' character and do not know his face, there would not be anything for us to actually ask."

"True. However, this does not necessarily explain why he stopped attending school."

Eventually, they had left the main building and headed for the Old School building. As they got closer, Rias gained a look of peace upon her face.

"You really care about this place, don't you Rias?" Sona commented with a smile, noticing the expression on the face of her childhood friend. All 6 of them had stopped in their tracks for the moment.

"Yes." Rias began. "To me, this place represents my dream, my hopes of life simply as Rias, free from the pressure of the Gremory household, and definitely from that man."

The group began walking again but a black blur landed in front of them, creating a dustcloud. The dust settled to reveal a new monster. It was humanoid like the one last night however it was covered in black feathers with a crow like beak. The new creature let loose a loud screech, causing everyone to cover their ears, also causing Tsubaki to drop her files.

The crow creature then grabbed Rias in a burst of speed and took to the skies as everyone recovered her hearing. "Rias!" everyone yelled as they heard the roar of a motorcycle. They looked towards the noise and saw the same bike as last night.

"Damn it! It's a crow smash this time!" Issei took of his helmet, revealing his face to the devils. Tsubaki looked at one of the files and saw Issei's face on it

"This is him!" she exclaimed as she grabbed the file and held it up for the others to see. "He's Hyoudou Issei! He stopped coming to schools about 6 months ago!" Hearing this, they all looked back at Issei with a look of partial recognition in their eyes.

"No time for questions! I've got to save Gremory-Senpai!" Issei revved up his motorcycle and drove off after the new smash.

Meanwhile

Rias had opened her eyes to find herself in the forest just outside Kuoh with the crow smash looming over her. Rias immediately went on the attack and blasted the smash back with a wave of magic. However the crow smash got up uninjured.

Unknown to Rias she was being watched by two figures "I don't see why you're targeting this girl" a petite girl with long blonde hair with black highlights, wearing a gothic Lolita dress, said. "It's simple. The crow smash has black feathers. What other race has black feathers?" A man around Issei's age with spiky white hair with dark red highlights, wearing a red sleeveless T-shirt and black jeans asked.

The young girl filled in the pieces "Fallen angels…." The man nodded "We kill the sisters of two of the four great satans, along with their peerages, and blame the fallen angels….. It'll seem like an act of war!" The man started laughing as he watched Rias do her best to defend herself but ultimately get beat down by the smash.

The young girl had a blank look on her face "Don't celebrate too much" As she said this Issei drove to the clearing and stopped in front of the smash "So whoever is doing this isn't just making copies of fullbottles. Their making brand new ones as well" Issei stepped of his bike and attached the strange belt around his waist. A small red mechanical dragon flew towards Issei and landed in his hand (Think a tiny mechanical Ddraig). Issei then took out a red bottle and shook it before inserting it into the mechanical dragon

"AWAKEN!"

He then inserted it into the belt as it spoke again.

"RED DRAGON!"

He started to turn the lever on his belt as transparent tubes appeared that began to be filled with red liquid appears.

"Henshin!" Issei yelled as he put his arms by his side as the liquid enclosed around him and became solid, revealing his rider form

"DOMINATE! RED DRAGON EMPEROR! YEAH!"

Ddraig punched his palm while staring at his hand "With this….. I get the feeling I can't lose!" He charged towards the smash and tackled it away from Rias and into another clearing.

The two people who were watching Rias just watched "That's the guy that showed up and defeated the smash I made yesterday" the man said with a grin "Why are you smiling? Him being here ruins your plan" he girl said when she saw his expression. "It makes the game more interesting when a new player joins" He said as he looked back towards the fight.

Ddraig punched the crow smash into a tree before charging towards it to hit with a flurry of more punches. The crow smash screeched and took to the skies before diving down and slammed into Ddraig causing him to roll. When he got back he was tackled by the smash again "You know, repeating the same moves over and over again makes a match more boring" Ddraig joked as he rolled to avoid another tackle from the smash. He then held out his left hand as a red energy surrounded it.

"BOOSTER GAUNTLET!"

A red gauntlet with a green jewel and 2 golden spikes and a small hole which looked to be used to insert things manifested on his arm. Rias, who was watching the fight, gasped at this "The Gauntlet of the red dragon emperor! The legends are true" Ddraig then inserted a sky blue bottle into the gauntlet causing it to cry out again

"BOTTLE BOOST! VACUUM!"

Ddraig's gauntlet began to morph and took the shape of a vacuum cleaner, Causing Rias to sweatdrop, and created a small tornado from it, which began pulling the smash towards him. He then took out and inserted the vacuum bottle into the gauntlet causing it to cry out again

"BOTTLE BOOST! VACUUM! EXPLOSION!"

Red energy started swirling around Ddraig's arm as the smash was pulled in more. Ddraig then punched right through the smash causing it to explode. Ddraig then deactivated his transformation as a black bottle landed on the floor. Issei crouched down and picked up the bottle before walking towards Rias and held ou his hand. "Are you okay Gremory-Senpai?" Rias only nodded and took his hand as her peerage ran into the clearing and surrounded her

As Rias began calming down her peerage she looked towards Issei who was on his motorcycle. He looked to her and nodded while smiling before putting on his helmet and drove off

The man watching the fight grinned as the young girl sighed "Big brother isn't going to like this" She said as the man laughed "Maybe, but that guy needs to lighten up anyway. Come on Akuko" he said as he began walking away "Wait up Suta" she said as she ran to catch up to him

Line Break

The devils were now back in the student council room after the whole ordeal. Sona was looking through Issei's file. "It says that Issei hasn't been at school for nearly a year. However the reasons are strangely not written down" This caused everyone to raise an eyebrow and start to wonder: Who was the enigma named Issei Hyoudou.

Elsewhere Issei suddenly sneezed "Huh, wonder why that happened." He mused as his phone starts ringing "Hello? Ryuga-Nii? Whats up? He suddenly held the phone away from his ear as the person on the other line started shouting "What do you mean "You stole my catchphrase!" I've heard Sento-Nii and Kazu-Nii use it before!" This conversation continued as Issei went inside as the screen turns into a red background with the mechanical Ddraig and the red dragon bottle appear and shake.
