This is a reboot...'nuff said

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Underworld: House of Shax, 1:45 p.m xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The House of Shax has been in a bit of a scramble in the past week as events have emerged shaking this home in the Underworld. During the scrambling, a butler and a maid meet in the foyer of the mansion.

The butler looking middle aged around the age of 40 or 50 sporting a monocle and a trimmed white hair style along with a black suit and bowtie. The maid seemed to be much younger with an appearance of a girl in her early 20s with long black hair and a maid outfit with a long skirt and black heels.

"Good Satan, where is the young master?" said the butler.

"I checked the attic and the kitchen but he isn't in either location." said the maid.

"Im worried, ever since what happened just the other day, things around here haven't been too-"the butler was going to continue until a loud sound vibrated throughout the house as if an earthquake was occurring.

"Found him…" said the maid as her and butler ran up the stairs.

As they ran up the stairs, they feared the worst of what was going on. They reached the 3rd floor of the home to the sight of one young man beating and harassing several of the other maids and butlers with one of the butlers in his hand grabbed at his neck.

The young man was slightly tone and dressed in a uniform style suit with a robe over his body. His hair looked slightly trimmed as if he had a shaved head but in the middle was a long line of blue hair in a small Mohawk style. His hands were radiating a form of magical energy from them.

"Master Ralphus!" shouted the butler. "That is quite enough! What would your parents think if they saw you acting this way!?"

the young man named Ralphus had let go of the butlers neck, who had ran away in fear of the young man.

"Oh, Cenzo. Are you going to start ordering me now?" Ralphus said sinisterly.

"Young Lord, I'm just giving you a suggestion that you must calm down. It has been a week already. This is starting to get out of hand." said the butler named Cenzo.

Ralphus continued to have his angry expression despite Cenzo's request.

"Leave! All of you! I wish to speak to Cenzo by himself." said Ralphus.

The other servants obeyed and left the area.

"Écclair, could you please go find the other young master?" said Cenzo to the maid.

"Sure, I'd rather not be here any longer…" said the maid named Écclair who was scared.

As she left, Cenzo followed Ralphus to his bedroom. They walked into the room into an elegant and refined bedroom adorned with lots of fancy and expensive accessories decorated around it. Ralphus had sat down in a chair placed directly next to the window as Cenzo had begun to speak.

"Master, I implore you to please stop these senseless outbursts and tantrums. We all know you are still upset at….recent events but that is still no excuse for you to be taking your frustrations out on the servants."

"Oh is that so? Well than…what has the other one said or done lately about my fits?" said Ralphus with a glare.

"He…hasn't said anything…" said Cenzo who was looking at the floor at this point.

"I can never live this down…" Ralphus said looking at the window, drawing Cenzo's attention "the humiliation…the embarrassment and the shame…how…how could I have lost to him!" Ralphus screamed that nearly set the house crashing down with the magical energy he was exerting.

"Yes…we all know what happened master. The other young master had bested you in combat and is now the official heir to the House but there is hope that you can be a tremendous advisor to-" Cenzo was cut off at the last second as the chair Ralphus was sitting on was flung right past him.

"Advisor…are you expecting me to play second fiddle to…that thing I call a brother!" Ralphus continued to shout as he inched closer to Cenzo's face shouting at him.

'Oh please, Écclair, find the other master." Cenzo had thought in his head while he nervously sweated.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Underworld: Shax Mansion backyard, 2:13 p.m. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Écclair had continued her search for the other young master and had begun to search outside the house.

"Come on, where is- There you are!" Écclair said as she noticed the one she was looking for laying down on the ground using a magazine as a pillow.

The young man had semi-long hair that reached his shoulders and sported a blue streak of hair on the right side of his head. He wasn't as tone as Ralphus and wore a pair of black jeans with boots and a white hoodie that had a blue wave-like design on it.

"Master Lawrence, please wake up. It's your brother again." Écclair said with a bit of restlessness in her voice.

"urgh…stop it, not now Robin…I just want to try some Gum-Gum…" Lawrence said in his sleep.

Écclair sighed until she thought of an idea to wake him up. "Master! A new issue of Shonen jump was released today." Lawrence immediately sprang off the ground when he heard that.

"There's a new issue!?" Lawrence said with intent in his eyes to the maid.

"Sorry for lying master, but no. but we really-" Ecclair was cut off by Lawrence staring at her.

"Don't you lie to me like that. There are a lot of people in the world who would get upset with you if you lie about upcoming manga comic books you know. Some people want Bleach to end already so the quicker the better." Lawrence said to her with a bit of criticism in his tone.

"Right…" she said putting her head down until she put head back up to speak "Master Lawrence, your brother Ralphus has been in an uproar about you defeating him for the right as heir to the clan. Can you please do something."

"He's still complaining? I never pegged him as a whiner…ok yeah I did but what do you want me to do? I only fought him because I didn't want to get kicked out of the house." He said that last part while picking his nose with his pinkie finger.

"…" Ecclair just held her position silent until she said "what?"

"Ralphus was gonna kick me out of the house if he won, it's the only reason I fought." Lawrence stated bluntly.

"What kind of reasoning is that!? Are you a moron!?" Ecclair said angrily.

Lawrence then got up from the ground outside and took his issue of Shonen Jump with him and walked toward the door. "Ok I'll go talk to the Lambo impressionist." He said with a bored expression.

Lawrence had walked to the foyer from the backyard to find Cenzo bloody on the floor with Ralphus standing over him.

"Oh, come out of hiding now?" said Ralphus.

"What? Oh no, I was just reading. What do you want, Lambo Uchiha?"

"What does that mean?"

"Oh I'm just calling you really whiny" Lawrence rebuked.

"As if I could understand you're uncouth and moronic behavior, this is why you aren't fit to be the leader of our clan."

"Oh hey you might want to change your clothes if we are going to fight again, that suit looks expensive." Lawrence said.

"Huh?" Ralphus responded confused.

"Here I got something for you to use in exchange." Lawrence said as he walked to a foyer closet and dug around. "It was said to be worn by a powerful wizard who could be in multiple locations at once and was hard to find."

Lawrence then picked up the clothing which consisted of a white and red striped long sleeve shirt, a pair of glasses, a blue pants, and a nightcap in similar design to the shirt and a cane.

"Here! His name was Waldo!" Lawrence said enthusiastically to his brother gaining a throb on his head.

Suddenly the clothes had burst into flames and Lawrence quickly grabbed his hand noticing Ralphus radiating the same angry aura that he exuded before but Lawrence held his ground and took a stance against his brother acting out.

"I am technically the heir right now….you calm down or I throw you out…repeat performance." Lawrence said angrily.

The 2 brothers were staring each other down until Cenzo, who got up thanks to help from Écclair lifting him slightly, got in between them.

"Enough you two!" he shouted. "Must I remind you that you both are the only offspring of the house heads right now? If you both end up killing each other right now, this house will become another extinct pillar!"

Ralphus and Lawrence just stared at each other but listened to Cenzo's words and Lawrence was the first one to step back.

"Hey I'm just trying to get him to stop. If I'm the head of the house now, I don't want to fight if I don't have to." Lawrence said putting his hands up like he understands Cenzo but Ralphus just growled at him some more before scoffing and walking away.

"I'll never understand how we are related" Lawrence brings up.

"Yes young master, I just-" Écclair was going to continue until Lawrence cut her off.

"It's not master, its Lawrence…or maybe Law…actually you know what, start calling me Law. It sounds like that One Piece character I like."

"Ok? Law, I don't understand it either." Écclair said.

"I believe he takes after your father, Master Lawrence. Your dad always seemed like the hungry for leadership type." Cenzo said slowly as he was trying to regain his breath. "Ralphus must feel like he lost something he really wanted despite already having certain things a 17 year old Devil could dream about…"

"Hey I'm not the house favorite."

"But you do have the leadership of the House of the Shax family. And that's something he really wants."

Lawrence just rolled his eyes at Cenzo's words and says "It's just a throne and some perks, hell I only wanted it so I don't have to leave yet. Besides I don't want to find people to help me move all my stuff."

"Glad you aren't I'd probably have to help with that." said Écclair as a joke. Lawrence then walked up the stairs as Cenzo and Écclair walked to a different room to give Cenzo medical attention.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Shax Mansion: 7:52 p.m. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As night fell, Lawrence spent most of his time up in his bedroom on the 2nd floor of the mansion. Lawrence's room seemed to be a complete contrast to his brothers elegant and clean room as Lawrence's was covered in used clothing, random issues of Shonen Jump and game cartridges all over the floor. He had left for the bathroom prior and had just returned to room.

"Ouch! Crap, I really need to clean up in here." Lawrence said as he stepped on a Gameboy Color cartridge of "Star Wars Episode 1 Racer"

Lawrence had taken a copy of a DVD and put it in a player for him to watch on his TV.

"Hello there Beelzebub!...huh I wonder how the Maou thinks of Humans using his name in a show where he is a baby?"Lawrence pondered as he sat back on his bed.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Shax Mansion: 9:59 p.m. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lawrence was now near asleep on his bed with the lights on and the DVD of Beelzebub stuck on the menu screen. As he slept, snoring from Lawrence and the music from the video was playing.

Until the sound of the door cracking occurs, slowly creaking from it emerged someone dressed in a black robe and obscuring their face from direct sight by the hood it sported. The person dug into a pocket and pulled out what looked like a syringe needle filled with some sort of clear liquid inside it.

The person crept slowly over to the sleeping Lawrence and put their hand on his head and moved it over to the side to expose his neck. As they inched closer with the needle until Lawrences eyes opened wide and pushed off the person into the wall of his bedroom.

"What the hell!?" Lawrence shouted as he got up from the bed.

The person in the black outfit had then lunged at Lawrence and tried to spike him with the knife until Lawrnece had got him in a grapple as the 2 struggled for control of the other. Knocking down objects in the room and fighting one another.

Lawrence then trips up the hooded person and smashes a lamp over the back of their head effectively knocking them out.

"Yeah! That's what im talking about! Always remained a light sleeper and I didn't even need to use my- Gah!" Lawrence talked until the sudden realization that there was something in his neck. It appeared to be another needle with liquid in it and then suddenly, his vision became blurry but not before turning around to see another person dressed in a black robe.

Lawrence fell onto the ground and was put completely unconscious. The person in the robe who previously knocked out then began to get up as the person who stuck Lawrence took of their hood. It was Ralphus Shax. The first person who attacked took off their hood to reveal it to be Cenzo the butler.

"Thank you Lord Ralphus, I thought he was going to crush my skull." Cenzo said as he felt the back of his head.

"No worries…just glad I had someone who saw things my way."

"I'm not entirely happy about what we are doing but….The Shax clan must survive and we can't with your brother as leader. I'm mostly happy you didn't kill me earlier today for us to lure him into a false sense of security."

"Details, details…now, let's find a nice place to deal with my brother…"

"Should we leave him somewhere? Or should we take the more…drastic measure?"

"Why not do both? Leave him in the desert and give him a wakeup call in the form of some armed people. After all….if they can't kill him, the terrain will." Ralphus said as he walked out of Lawrences bedroom. "Also, in case anyone is wondering where he might be, tell them he just went on a vacation as the "next leader.""

"As you wish." Cenzo bowed and picked up Lawrence's out cold body.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mysterious Desert: Noon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

With a burning and bright sun glowing and radiating a harsh heat onto his face, Lawrence began to growlingly wake up from his unconscious slumber.

"What…?" Lawrence said as he began to look around at the scenery.

Nothing for miles except for desert and hot sand, with this sudden and strange chase of scenery the first thought that crept into Lawrence's head were: "Am I dreaming about Alabasta again?"

This was until Lawrence noticed 4 people on horseback riding up to him from the sand. When they arrived to Lawrence's location, he quickly saw that they weren't friendly looking people on horses as one of them slowly got off his horse while the other 3 had begun to circle Lawrence on their horses.

"What's going on here!?" Lawrence said asking for answers. The man who got off the horse was wearing a battle armor and tunic over a pair of black pants and boots along with a sword on the side and a shield on his back with a cloak. His face was covered in scars and sported ginger hair in a mullet style and a white pale complexion.

"It's nice to meet you! Older Brother of Shax!" said the pale man.

"How do you know me? And older brother….you know Ralph?"

"He prefers to be called Master Ralphus, and it seems you are just figuring out the situation. Men!" the man shouted as he brought his men to his side as they stopped circling Lawrence. "My name is Garsax and I just so happened to be one of your brothers contracted humans."

"Wait, if you have a contract with my brother isn't it supposed to be the other way around where you give him the orders or something? I don't know, I never did that contract stuff. What does he do for you anyway when you summon him? It's not like he cleans your feet or something right? Because that's-"

"Enough! Your brother gave me an interesting offer too good to refuse. Vast wealth, power and the future as a Devil!" Garsax shouted as he took out his sword. "And all I have to do is bring him the head of a family member who stole something important from him." He said sinisterly.

Following suit, the 3 similarly dressed soldiers on horseback got off their horses and took out their weapons with one holding a pair of short swords, one wielding a mace and the other with a sword and shield much like Garsax.

"Attack!" Garsax shouted as he pointed his weapon at Lawrence.

Lawrence readied himself as he side stepped the soldier with the short swords who slid to the side of him to get his balance back and began to swing his blades at Lawrence with Lawrence trying to dodge it and parry it with his own arms. He clutched the soldiers arm and tried to stop him in place.

Suddenly, the soldier armed with the mace, came from behind and swung the weapon at Lawrence only for him to duck away and push off the man with the short swords. As he ducked, he rolled to the side to get both of them in his line of sight until he turned to see, coming up from behind, was the other man with the shield and sword. He rammed into him with the shield as a battering ram.

"This is hilarious! And you're supposed to be Master Ralphus's brother!? You aren't even putting up much of a fight!" Garsax laughed at Lawrence.

"Sir! My swords is gone!" the soldier with the shield yelled as Garsax stopped laughing to notice the weapon is gone from the soldier. He turned his head to notice Lawrence now holding the sword in his hands.

"So you're a swordsman huh? Not much good that sword will do against us." Garsax said with a smile to the panting Lawrence.

"Actually…I didn't beat my brother with swords…I used something a bit different," Lawrence said with a smile.

Lawrence's arm that held the sword had begun to glow suspiciously. Until suddenly, the arm and clothing he sported were completely a different color from the rest of his body, a color matching the same clear gray as the steel of the swords blade. Lawrence then dropped the sword on the ground.

"What the-"the soldier with the mace was going to continue until a straight fist hit him square in the face by Lawrence with the sound of a clang reverberating from the blow, as if metal was what struck him.

"Huh, so this what Ralphus said was this "disturbing power" that beat him." Garsax said as his 2 other men went to help their other soldier who was bleeding from several parts of his face from the punch. "You changed your body by feeling the material you touch…"

"Don't know and don't care how you want to explain it, all I know is that I'm gonna making you piss your own blood when I'm done with you!" Lawrence said as he cracked his normal knuckles with his steel metallic hand.

The three soldiers readied themselves and rushed Lawrence as the one carrying the short swords attempted to stab him again but by grabbing the wrist of the soldier and using strength given to him by the steel, Lawrence shattered his wrist bone making him drop down in pain, grabbing his wrist.

The mace wielding soldier once again swung at Lawrence but Lawrence had caught the metal ball at the end in mid swing, he pulled the soldier toward him hard and as he approached, he slammed into Lawrence's forearm as if he clotheslined him, causing him to do a full flip over and landing on his backside.

The final soldier still up only had his shield and was afraid to do anything but in a moment of weakness, he shouted and rushed toward Lawrence with his shield to battering ram him once again but Lawrence held his ground, reached back and launched a punch in the shield shattering it and landing a punch straight into the face of the soldier sending him far back past Garsax, who merely watched as his allies got beaten.

"….." Garsax only could remain as he watched Lawrence stare him down with a smirk on his face and giving him a sign to come get him but Garsax reached into his pocket and pulled out a paper.

"What are you gonna do with that, wipe your nose?" Lawrence wondered as his hand, arm and clothing turned back to its original state and color.

"I wasn't in the mood to actually fight, I thought I could rely on just my subordinates but I see you are much stronger than you look. If I can't kill you as a human, then perhaps the land will…good bye." Garsax revealed the paper had a magic circle written and transcribed into it. The soldiers from before had gotten up and over to Garsax who activated the circle as it appeared below their feet and glowed brightly.

"No…no, no, no! Wait! Don't go yet!" Lawrence said as he tried to run to them in the circle. But it was all for nothing as they teleported away, leaving Lawrence in the middle of the desert.

"You…have got to be kidding me right now!" he screamed into the air. As he realized the situation was grim he looked over to see the soldier with the shield from before left his sword behind and Lawrence went over to pick it up.

"Great…just Fan-freaking-tastic!" he said as he walked away to try to find somewhere to stay.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mysterious Desert: 3 and a half hours later xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lawrence just sat on a large rock after walking for several hours on a rock with no food, no water and no shelter, only a useless sword.

"I just realized something…" he said talking to himself out loud. "With me out of the house, they are gonna get rid of all my stuff! God Damn it! I left my DVD player on; if they don't get rid of my stuff that thing will overheat and not work anymore!" Lawrence panicked at the last thing he should be worried about.

As he picked himself up from the sudden relapse of depression, he noticed the sun was starting to go down and felt the wind getting cooler.

Lawrence felt a shiver down his spine as it suddenly became colder and with minimal clothing for cool weather, he was at a disadvantage to survive the night. In the heat of the moment, Lawrence got on top of the rock and laid himself on the rock, suddenly his body began to change colors again as it took the color of the rock and made his body out of rock.

"Crap…got to think, got to think. I can't stay out here or ill die from the cold air when I turn back…oh I got it, I'll use my magic to teleport back home! That's what I should have done from the start!" He put his hands up over the ground and began to magically form a magic circle. The circle however wasn't completely formed as it looked unstable and looked like it wasn't complete until it disappeared.

"Damn it! I either don't have enough magical power or I'm doing something wrong…"

Lawrence then remembered the sword he picked up off the ground before and left on the rock, he stared at it for a few minutes before he thought of a strange idea.

"All I need is the circle drawn…location doesn't matter, it's the circle first." Lawrence said picking it up.

He put the sword into the ground and started to move the sword around in the sand as if he was drawing something with it. Several minutes pass as Lawrence draws a large drawing of a magical circle. As he continued to sketch it, he had begun to turn back to his normal state over time.

"Ok, with the circle down, all I need to do is put my magic into it. Good news: I get to leave this place and not die. Bad news: location I'll be headed to is random so it's either in the bed of someplace in Rio de Janeiro or someplace much colder and still die….screw it, I'll take the risk." Lawrence said as he clapped his hands together and loosened himself up.

He put his hands over the large magical circle sketch and it began to glow and then stop and then continued to glow and stop again forcing Lawrence to put more of his magic in to make sure it works, after almost taking a large amount of magic out of his body, Lawrence finally teleports himself out of the desert.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx New Location: 8:41 a.m. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

a magical glow appears in an alleyway in a large scale city. The streets bustling with people and multiple open stores seemed to sell various things. From the alleyway emerged Lawrence Shax trying to get his barings as he stared outward into the new surroundings.

"Whoa, this is different…" he said looking around before he began to ask someone for help.

"Excuse me, where am- whoa!?" Lawrence tapped someone on the shoulder until the person turned around to reveal a cute girl wearing fake cat ears and a tail under a maid outfit.

"Would you like a flyer, big brother?" the girl said with a petite and cute expression to Lawrence who was just enamored by the random sight until he nodded and she gave him a flyer before she walked away.

Lawrence then read the sheet, 'Come to Doki-Doki Chocolate café! On the corner of Konken street, Aki-….Akihabara!?" Lawrence's eyes widened at the papers location listing. Revealing he had teleported to Akihabara, Japan.

He jerked his head quickly to the left to notice the Japanese kanji from the billboards, the random cosplayers and notable tourists dressed up like various anime characters along with various business and shops that were cafes, video game arcades and manga shops.

"As first official order as head of the Shax family: I'm going on extended vacation!" Lawrence squealed out loud into the skies.

This is my reboot for the Black Sheep series for Highschool DxD. Now im going to answer you some questions im sure you may, or may not have

1. This story will be taking place BEFORE the events of the canon, like maybe about a month before Issei joins Rias peerage and gets killed by Raynare and all, if I choose to: I might make the 2 stories coincide but that will happen later on.

2. Im still on the fritz on whether or not to include the previously sent in characters I got from before as I may or may not know what to do with them.

3. I wanted to use Akihabara as the setting, there is so much potential there in what could happen as it is the otaku capital of the world and the whole time there is like you are at a convention nearly every day.

4. I hope you all enjoy it and hope you also like Lawrence's new power.
