Me: Welcome to the first chapter of The Empireo Tenryuukotei DxD!

The reason I deleted the previous story was because of the immense changes I'm doing and those flame reviews since I can't stand them. I do not tolerate flames or rants on my story, however criticism is good for me, but if you're just insulting and ranting on me, the co-writers and my story, then I personally call you out on it. So please either say something good about this or give a good constructive criticism in order for us writers to improve on what we need done.

Speaking of that, I'm also in need of two users, one who could give me some real good ideas for my story here and the other who could write detailed lemons and battles scenes for me.

Anyways Enjoy!

Chapter 1: The Start of a Different Direction


*Kuoh, Japan*

"Issei, we're going to that candy store, stay here!"

"Do not worry, we'll be back quickly."

He was on a walk through the park with his parents for the first time in his life when he turned six years old. Issei was a brown-haired boy wearing a green shirt and black shorts. They left for the store leaving him alone momentarily in one of the park's toys for his enjoyment. Issei was born with a little dysfunction in his skin that left him pale and a little fragile, he would need some care until a specific age.

While he was there in the toy near to the street, a stranger was walking across the street, but he was not an ordinary guy, at first he had not detected anything but when he approached the park he had the feeling that there was someone with a lot of energy, but did not know what it was or who was.

'What is it?'

He wondered when he suddenly stopped, spotting a boy on a toy and seeing his appearance, he saw that there was something unusual about him, but that was not all; It was also the energy source still a little unknown to him. Deciding to check, he crossed the street toward the boy and also noticed that his skin tone was very different from other children in his age and went to the boy who was already leaving the toy.

Issei left the toy and began to look where his parents had gone but didn't spot them and suddenly felt a hand on his left shoulder and realized that there was someone behind him.

"W-Who is?" He stammered with a little fear.

"Calm down boy, I have no intention of hurting you." The stranger assured him. "We can talk?"

"Yes."

They headed to a nearby bench as Issei sat on the right side. And so far without signs of his parents.

"So boy, what's your name?"

"Issei. Issei Hyoudou, and yours?"

"Dragun. I just had to visit a friend here a few moments ago and I saw you here in the park, but what happened to you? You are pale."

"Nothing too serious, I was born in this way and had to spend the first five years of my life indoors because my skin was very fragile in the sun and could turn it into a skin cancer if my parents didn't take care with me. It was what the doctor told them and that I could just spend a short time outside of the house or just go out at night."

"Oh, this is sad. And tell me, something stranger happened to you?"

"Um, not that I noticed."

"Do you know what the supernatural is? Do you believe that?"

"Yes, I watched some things on television. I do not know right, but now that you asked, I actually had some weird dreams .."

"What kind of dream?"

"With Dragons."

"Dragons?"

"Yes, very strange. Once I was watching them arguing and I decided to make them stop the discussion, but this time they heard me and even talked to me. In other dreams I was just able to observe them, this scared me a bit since the two were a white dragon and a red dragon."

'They? Will it be possible?' Dragun thought. "Boy, I need you to do me a favor."

"What would that be?"

"Make a pose of some stronger character that you know." Dragun proposed this by deducing that he may have seen something that might cause him to reveal his power.

"Why?" He rose from the bench and stood facing Dragun.

"Just do it, it's going to be fun."

"Okay." Issei concentrated for a moment to think of a certain magic show he saw on television, although he did not know if that was right. When Dragun saw Issei's pose, he immediately realized that it was one of Serafall Leviathan's poses, but he also knew that a kid human wouldn't know who she was. He finished the pose with one hand on the waist and two fingers on the forehead, this caused Issei to be covered in a light so bright that the two were forced to close their eyes not to be blind and by a stroke of luck there was no one close by to witness this.

When he stopped flashing the image that came next made Dragun greatly shocked, he did not believe in his own eyes. He immediately recognized the dragons.

The red gauntlet with a green jewel on the left arm and on his back was a pair of white wings with eight blue feathers.

"Boy .. come here." He asked what Issei nodded. When he stopped Dragun ordered him to pinch him and did as he was told.

"I'm not dreaming ... Gah!" And he collapsed with his head on the bench.

"What? I did not use that much force!" Issei looked at his left hand.

[So, you've finally managed to awaken us, Partner.] A deep voice said. The voice seemed to come from inside the gauntlet on Issei's arm.

(All at the same time.) a second voice said, which came from Issei's wings.

"Who- who are you all?" Issei asked the two voices, in astonishment.

[Well, considering that this is a new host we're talking to…] the first voice said. [We should all introduce ourselves. I am Ddraig, the Red Dragon Emperor.]

(I am Albion, the White Dragon Emperor.) the second voice, Albion, said.

[(And how are we both in the same host?!)] They both said at once, in a combined voice so loud that Issei covered his ears.

[I was here first!]

(How should you know?)

[Why are you in my host again, Albion?]

(Your host? It's just as much as mine!)

[No it isn't!]

(Yes it is!) Dragun gains conscious and gets up from the bickering.

"SHUT! UP!" Dragun shouted at the two bickering dragons. "Ddraig, Albion, you're going to have to accept that you're inside the same host, so stop bickering like little kids!"

[(…)]

"Thank you." Dragun said, more calmly. "Now, Issei. I believe that it would be best if you came with me."

"Eh?" Issei looked at Dragun. "Why? What about my parents?"

"The choice is yours." Dragun said. "I believe that it would be a good idea for you to train your powers, as both dragons that are inside you have specific powers."

"…What kind of powers?" Issei asked, sounding curious.

"Ddraig has the ability to double your power and transfer, both physical and magical, every 10 seconds." Dragun began to explain. "Albion has the power to halve any person's power, and add it to yourself and can reflect, every 10 seconds."

"…Wow." Issei whispered, looking at all the weapons on his body. "And I can do anything I want to with these?"

"You can my child, if you come with me and train." Dragun said, placing a hand on Issei's shoulder. "I believe that since you have awakened your two dragons, the Three Factions, Angels, Devils and Fallen Angels, will be coming after you to try and recruit you to one of their sides. Hell, even having one of these dragons inside you would be a big deal to them."

[You don't say.] Ddraig sarcastically said.

"Anyway." Dragun looked into Issei's chocolate brown eyes. "The choice is yours, Issei Hyoudou."

At that moment, Issei's parents walked back into the park, clutching ice-creams.

"Issei, we're back!" Issei's mother called out to her son. "Who's this- what are those things on your body?"

"Are you Issei's parents?" Dragun said, looking at Issei's parents, who nodded. He stood up and bowed.

"My name is Dragun, and I believe that it would be a good idea for me to take Issei with me for the time being."

"W-what?" Issei's mother was shocked. "Why would you want to do that?"

"Because I have found a great power, or two great powers, inside of your son." Dragun said, gesturing to the gauntlet and wings. "Rest assured that I shall bring him no harm, what I take him to do will benefit him greatly, and he will be allowed to see you as often as you please." Issei's parents stepped away and conferred between themselves for a moment. They split and said,

"Okay, we'll allow you to take our son, but if you convinced us. We want to see a demonstration of this 'power' you've found."

"That can be arranged." Dragun said, nodding. "Issei, you see that huge tree over there?" Issei looked and saw the tree. It was at least fifteen times as tall as he was.

"Yes?" he said.

"Punch it, with the gauntlet on your left arm." Dragun gestured to Issei's left arm.

"Why?" Issei asked, raising an eyebrow at Dragun's strange request.

"Just do it, will you." Dragun ordered.

"Okay." Issei said. He walked over to the tree, and looked at it. It looked quite sturdy. But, not wanting to anger Dragun, he gathered everything he had into the fist with Ddraig in it, and punched the tree with all he had. Issei's parents shouted out to their son, but…

They saw that Issei had punched a massive hole into the side of the tree.

"Timber…" Dragun smirked, as the tree slowly fell down beside Issei. Issei turned around, and looked at Dragun, and his shocked parents.

"Was that supposed to happen?" Issei asked, to Dragun.

"Yes." Dragun said. Turning to Issei's parents, he asked. "Was that good enough proof?"

"Y-Yes." Issei's father said, walking towards his son, and looking from the downed tree, to Issei, and back again.

"Goodbye, son." Issei's father bent down and engulfed him in a hug.

"Good luck." Issei's mother did the same.

"Take good care of our son!" they said at the same time, letting Issei go with tearful eyes. "We hope we could see him for five days every month, at least."

"Oh, don't worry, you will." Dragun said, letting Issei walk towards him, tears in his own eyes as well…

"I will." Dragun creates a magic circle portal with him and Issei stepping into the portal while he waves at his parents goodbye for the time being.


*Dragon Mountain, Underworld*

Issei and Dragun were transported in an area that resembled a mountain after entering out of the magic circle portal.

"I thought we were going to the Underworld." Issei said looking around.

"I should've told you to not expect much of a difference between the Underworld and your world as we are in Dragon Mountain where Tannin and the other dragons live." Dragun said.

"Where's Tannin?" Issei asked.

"Give me a minute young one. I have to flare up my power." Dragun said.

Dragun flared up his power and moments later, a towering figure appeared out of nowhere. He is a gigantic Western Dragon standing at fifteen meters tall, whose bodily majority is covered with dark, purple scales. it's lower body, specifically his belly, the inner portions of his long tail, and legs, is beige in color. The dragon has a triangular head with yellow horns, a pair of large, sharp eyes with lavender sclera. It also sports very sharp canine teeth, and has claws with long, sharp yellow nails. The large wings resemble a bat's, with rigid tips. Additionally, he wears black armored shoulder pads that extends down to his arms and a loincloth decorated with metal accessories.

"Old man Tannin. It's nice to see you again." Dragun said.

"50 years later and you're still calling me that. Did you not learn from your asskicking 25 years ago when you challenged to temporarily knock me off the chain?" Tannin asked.

"I learned but it's fun to tease you with the name." Dragun said laughing.

"Who's the kid that's shaking like he's scared shitless?" Tannin asked as he pointed at the little boy who is shaking as the sight of the large dragon.

"His name is Issei and he's hoping to be a student of your teachings as he possess both Heavenly Dragons." Dragun stated.

"Wow, I never heard of a host holding both heavenly dragons in one body." Tannin said with surprise.

[Better believe it Tannin.] Ddraig said from Issei's arm.

(Yeah, it's been too long since we've last spoken.) Albion added.

"Indeed, but I'm surprised that you two would end together in one person." Tannin said.

"Ahem, anyways, can you train him to use his powers to a better level. He'd be something valuable to something coming in the future that I can sense from this young kid." Dragun said.

"I can train the young boy, but he needs education as well because all I can provide is physical training and the other necessities for combat in order for him to achieve the Balance Breaker." Tannin said.

"What's a Balance Breaker?" Issei asked.

"A Balance Breaker is the evolved form of Sacred Gears in which their full powers can be released. In Ddraig and Albion's case you can obtain an armor for yourself called Scale Mail that embodies their power." Dragun explained.

"Who would be willing to give me an education while I train with Tannin?" Issei asked scratching his head.

"I know of a family that can provide you with the necessary education, and they're so smart, that the family heads are famous as doctors in the human world." Dragun said.

"And who would they be?" Issei asked.

"The Sitri Clan. They live next door to the Gremory territory which the dragon mountain is also connected and a part of the territory of the Gremory Clan. They have an older daughter who is one of the current Maou leaders of the Underworld." Dragun explain once more.

"Alright, after you set up the boy with his education, I want him here by next week to begin his training regimen which I will warn you boy it will be brutal and intense for you." Tannin says causing Issei to be little nervous for next week of the start of his training.


*Sitri Territory, Underworld*

Dragun and Issei enter the magic circle portal he created to transport to the Sitri Mansion which is very large in comparison to the other mansion in the human world.

"Woah, I've never seen a home this large in the human world." Issei stares up at the mansion with eyes of amazement.

"Heh, well devils can have many surprises." Dragun smiled, but Issei looked at him.

"W-Wait, D-Devils, you mean those horned demons?" Issei asked in fear.

"Don't worry they are friendly here and while they may sometimes to be arrogant or selfish, there are some with good heart, so don't worry Issei." Dragun assures calming the boy down before he knocks on the door.

It opens to find a woman in servant maid outfit.

"Ah, what brings you two to the Sitri Household?" The maid asked.

"I would like to talk to Lord Sitri about educating this boy here since he is special." Dragun explains.

"Okay, I'll go tell Lord Sitri of your request." The maid bowed before she heads upstairs as Dragun and Issei wait. Issei was looking around the entire inside of the devil mansion.

"Intrigued by the scenery I see?" Dragun asked.

"This whole world is amazing and I can't believe I'm witnessing all of this." Issei looks around until he sees two girls at his age walking across the hall and talking to each other. One had long red hair while the other had short black hair and reading glasses.

"Huh, then I hope you find the better man for your future." The black haired girl said.

"I think it will, after all my father is gonna arrange a marriage, but I want to choose who I want to marry in the future." The red haired girl said until they see Dragun with a boy who is staring at them with curiosity.

"Dragun, what brings you to my household?" The glasses girl said.

"And who is that boy with you." The red haired girl pointing at Issei.

"I came here because this boy here with me is going to need education from your family." Dragun explained.

"Hi I'm Issei, who are you too?" Issei introduced.

"Sona Sitri." Sona shook his hand.

"Rias Gremory." Rias shook his hand as well.

"Well I guess you're already getting along with devils aren't you Issei?" Dragun smirked.

"It's always nice to meet new people especially that I will get to know them more." Issei said.

"Well these two girls are gonna be the next heir of their respective clans, also they will have their own peerage." Dragun explained.

"What's a peerage?" Issei asked.

"A group of reincarnated devils led by High-class Devils..." Dragun explains again.

"And they do this by using Evil Pieces from the forms of Chess like the Pawn, Knight, Bishop, Rook, Queen, and lastly King." Sona continued.

"But the person they reincarnate has to be either recently dead or willingly turn into a Devil." Rias pointed out.

"Indeed, the fertility rates of the three factions are so low is the reason for the usage of Evil Pieces or Brave Saints which is the Angelic version of latter." Dragun finished as a tall man coming down from the stairs to see Dragun.

"Dragun, I heard from a servant that you want for us to do something for someone?" Lord Sitri asked.

"Yes, this boy here and his name is Issei possess both Heavenly Dragons. I've already set up training from Tannin for him, but he needs some intellects from education and what not better for this boy to be educated is by the Sitri clan." Dragun explained which shocked Rias, Sona, and her father.

"Wait, this boy has both Heavenly Dragons?" Lord Sitri asked.

[That would be correct Lord Sitri.] Rias and Sona jumped at the sound of the voice coming from Issei's arm as Lord Sitri relaxes before getting serious again.

(Yes, it appears we're both in this boy's body.)

"I see, alright, but I would like something in return for educating this boy." Lord Sitri said.

"Alright what would that be?" Dragun asked.

"The boy becomes a part of my daughter's peerage, do we have a-" Lord Sitri was interrupted when Rias tugs on his right sleeve.

"Wait, Lord Sitri, I want to talk to you about this." She brings him closer to whisper to him as Dragun, Issei, and Sona watch as the two collaborate before they turn to them.

"Ahem as I was saying, however Miss Gremory here has been talking to me about this... Issei will be a shared servant of my daughter and Rias peerage." Lord Sitri declared.

"But how can that be possible, Issei has two dragons in him and that might be too much for any Evil Piece to take for his body!" Dragun exclaimed.

"Also I just met your daughter and Rias who I've barely known now. How is this deal any better?" Issei asked in disbelief.

"Well considering you will be targeted by others in the future, I feel it would be safe for you to be serving under my daughter and Miss Gremory's peerage as a shared servant, when they both get Evil Pieces... " Lord Sitri explained.

"I don't know if it would be right for Issei here to be a 'shared' servant since he is human with two dragons. Dragons should be free and not be serving under beings lower then it, not to mention like he said hardly knows you two." Dragun pointed.

"Wait, what about me and Rias form a 'special' contract with Issei saying that he doesn't always have to follow our orders and can do things independently with our permission." Sona proposed.

"Again I want to actually get to know you two before I agree to be your 'servant' because I time to trust you two." Issei said with a look of uncertainty.

"However they don't get their pieces yet and we will collaborate on that contract, but do we have a deal, Dragun?" Lord Sitri putting out his hand to Dragun.

"I don't know, it's Issei's choice." Dragun didn't shake and comes to Issei and puts his hands on his shoulders.

"Well Issei, looks like we're all set, but I'm going to be away for awhile, so the Sitri and Gremory clan will take care of you as you train and educate." He said.

"Wait, what about visiting my parents?" Issei asked with concern.

"Don't worry we have the location of your house, so when you need to visit your parents, just tell us, Issei." Lord Sitri assured.

"Okay, good luck Issei." Dragun smiled as he got up and walked out the front door.

"Goodbye, Dragun..." Issei sadly said as he waved at him a farewell.

"Now, Issei, I had my servant set up a room for you upstairs, Sona, would you guide Issei around?" Lord Sitri asked.

"Sure, father, come Issei." Sona grabs Issei hand as they walked up the stairs.

"Hey wait up." Rias follows the two as they look around and from that moment forth, Issei Hyoudou walked out of his normal life, and into a brand new one...


Me: So please review, fave, follow, or do all of the above. Maybe some good criticism?

- Another note is that I have a hatred for Matsuda and Motohama, those two perverted friends Issei has in canon... They are complete assholes to Issei whenever he is with those beautiful girls, I mean they should be happy for him, but instead they are complete backstabbing pricks, who spread awful rumors about him, beat him up, and also sometimes abandon him in canon... I don't see them as his friends, more like people with the same interests, nothing good I can say about them. I always wondered what happened to those two during the time Issei had married his harem, did he cut ties with them? I don't know, but one things for sure is I do like those DxD fics that bash them a lot because of how much I hate them. If I ever see a DxD fic that has the two beaten up, you can guarantee that I'd be enjoying their pain in comical fashion though.

Me: I'm NOT taking any harem requests, it has been set.

Issei's Harem: Rias, Sona, Akeno, Tsubaki, Raynare, Kuroka, Ravel, Irina, Xenovia, Murayama, Katase, Rossweisse, Le Fay, Aika, Kiyome, Yubelluna
