A/N - Hey guys, first fan-fiction of my life hope that I do a good job; I became hooked by High School DXD when I watched it last year and then decided to make a fan-fiction for it. Reviews and comments are greatly welcomed and appreciated.
This fan-fiction will be following along the light novel story line but will have major changes to incorporate with the main character of this story.
Disclaimer: I do not own High School DXD; I own nothing but the main character and specs of this fan-fiction.
My name is Michael Gremory and as the name suggests I am a member of the great house of Gremory one of the 72 devil pillars, and the younger brother of Rias Gremory. Despite the fact that I am from a noble pureblood devil lineage I could be considered 'an abomination' or impure as I am also part Angel and part Dragon. Along with my 'tainted' blood for some reason I also have a unique and unknown sacred gear despite not being human. My sacred gear holds a powerful Dragon by the name of Splinder living inside it (Stronger than the two Heavenly Dragons in their prime combined). My sacred gear is the Reality Gauntlet a super Longinus classed sacred that allows me to control both space and time, my sacred gear also has the ability to double my own power as well as the power of anyone else that I touch.
My mother is Venelana Gremory which as you may have guessed is where I got the 'power of destruction' just like my older siblings Sirzechs and Rias. My father was an Angel the reason that I say was is well... because at the age of 12 I accidentally killed him. I still do not know why my father and mother happened to conceive me but from what I have been able to piece together I believe it was for the benefit of Heaven and the Underworld.
Some time after the death of my father it was discovered that because of my angel blood I am a natural born holy sword wielder and not only that I can also create them from thin air (with the strength of Durandal) much like the sacred gear Blade Blacksmith. The Dragon side of me allowed my affinity over fire, ice and lightning (electricity and light) to really shine.
"Hey! Have you heard the rumour?"
"What rumour?"
"Apparently we're getting a new transfer student."
"Really?!"
"Yeah! I hope it's a boy. A handsome boy."
"I hope you're right"
A bunch of high school girls chattered about the rumour of a new student arriving to the school known as Kuoh Academy. Kuoh Academy was originally known as an all-girls school. A number of years later it was re-formed into a co-oed school and a new school building was made to accommodate the change.
Students conversed in the hallways, waiting to go into their classes. Outside of the school, a handsome young man with Crimson Red hair walked up to the front gates of Kuoh Academy. Dressed in a black blazer with white accents, a white, long-sleeved dress shirt with a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes, Michael Gremory excitedly walked up to his new school.
(Scene Change) Michael's Classroom
KNOCK KNOCK
Pausing during her demonstration, the educator motioned over to the door then opened it. She let a warm smile pass across her lips, and turned back to look at her class.
"Ok, class. I'm quite sure that you have heard the rumour about receiving a new student. Well it's true. Here he is, so please make him feel welcome."
"Wow look at his golden eyes" A girl whispered
"Yeah they're really pretty aren't they?"
"But look at his Hair. Doesn't it remind you of Rias-sempai?"
Michael smiled slightly as he heard the remarks concerning him. Unbeknownst to him some of the males glared at him while all the females just sighed in pleasure at his good looks.
The teacher looked at her new student, and smiled.
"Why don't you introduce yourself?"
"Hello. My name is Michael Gremory. It's nice to meet you. I look forward to spending time with you here." Michael spoke while bowing politely
Michael then smiled a knowing smile at a male student with brown hair that happened to be Issei Hyoudou, then at a pretty blonde girl that happened to be Asia Argento.
The teacher then asked Michael to take a seat.
Michael took a seat at the back of the classroom next to Asia
(Scene Change) 10 Minutes Before End of School
As he walked to the old school building, Michael smiled as he noticed the stares and giggles coming from the girls.
After entering the old school building Michael walked to the required room and entered.
"Hey Onee-Chan!" I said excitedly as I jumped into Rias's embrace
"What are you doing here so early Michael? I wasn't expecting you for another two days" Rias asked while embracing me
"I thought that I would come down early so that I could see my older sister, or is that a crime" I spoke in a teasing manner
"Well no, it is not a crime but I was just surprised that's all" Rias said in a happy and calm voice
"Well since I'm here now we may as well catch up while we wait for the rest of your peerage"
(Scene Change) 10 Minutes Later (End Of School)
"I'm back, Hey Bouchou." Said Issei as he walked into the room
Issei dropped his bag when he noticed that Rias was laying on top of the new transfer student in his class
"Bouchou, why is the transfer student here and why are you laying on him like that?" Issei spoke in an obviously distressed manner
"Well Issei to answer your first question, Michael is here because he came to spend some time with me, and the reason I am laying on top of him is because I want to," Rias explained in a frustrated tone unnoticed by everyone but Michael.
Rias stands up and gives Michael a hand in getting up off the couch.
Michael bows politely, "Hello it is good to see you again I hope that you are taking good care of Rias"
Michael noticed Issei and Asia's questioning faces "Oh I'm sorry, I guess I better properly introduce myself, I am Michael Gremory, Rias's younger brother, and her new Rook. Pleased to meet you." Issei and Asia gasped in surprise as they heard what Michael said.
"So I take it that these two are your new servants?" Michael asked in a curious tone.
"Yes they are. This is Issei Hyoudou my Pawn, and my Bishop Asia Argento."
"Hello it nice to meet you Michael-San," said Asia in her polite yet kind tone.
"Hi nice to meet you too Michael-San. Bouchou I didn't know you had siblings."
Just as Michael was about to answer Issei's statement Koneko suddenly walks into the room and jumps into his embrace. "Hey Koneko, long time no see, Hey Kiba."
Michael places Koneko on one of the couches and brings out a Holy Sword then jumps toward Kiba initiating a duel which lasts a few seconds, with Michael winning the duel.
"Well well, you seem to have gotten better my friend," Michael congratulated Kiba on his impressive sword skills as they bumped fists.
"I may have gotten better but it seems that I still can't surpass you in sword skills" Kiba said as he sheathed his sword.
(Scene Change) 10 Minutes later
Michael hid beside the door as he sensed a familiar presence walking towards the club room. When the door opened it revealed Sona Sitri and her peerage.
Michael walked up behind Sona and placed his arms around her waist in an affectionate manner startling her. Sona dropped her usually strict act and turned around for a proper embrace. "Michael when did you get here? And didn't I ask you to stop sneaking up on me like that?" Sona spoke in an affectionate tone as she leaned in for an affectionate kiss that lasted for a few seconds
"Well Sona, the reason I'm here is because I have transferred into this school to be with my beautiful fiancé and lovely sister" Michael stated in a clearly happy tone. """FIANCE?""" Issei, Asia and Saji shouted out in surprise.
"Yes, fiancé. Sona and I have been engaged for about a year and a half now." Michael stated while staring into Sona's eyes until he began looking at Sona's and Rias's new members.
"Sona who's this guy," Michael asked Sona while pointing towards Saji.
"Oh this is Saji Genshirou my Pawn"
"Nice to meet you Saji." Michael and Saji shook hands in friendship
"How many pieces did he use?"
"Saji took up 4 pieces"
"Ha, looks like Issei here beets you, Saji" Michael stated teasing Saji
"What? How many pieces did this 'Lame ass butt munch' take up?" Saji spoke in frustration
"Hey, Shut up" Issei yelled in complaint
Michael ignores Issei's comment "He took up 8 pieces, not surprising considering he has the Boosted Gear of Longinus," Michael spoke in a voice full of pride while looking at Issei's surprised face.
"How did you know that, when I didn't even reveal my sacred gear?"
"I can see your Dragon aura, that and your aura is consistent with the power of Ddraig The Red Dragon Emperor" Michael stated in confidence.
"Um, Michael-San could I ask you something?" Issei spoke showing his curiosity
"Yeah, ask away"
"Where did you get that sword you used against Kiba and why did I feel a chill when you pulled it out?"
Michael chuckled "Well, Rias I think it would be best to tell them everything."
"Fine, but you better be ready for whatever consequences come of it," Rias stated in a strict demeanor after sighing.
Michael nodded in agreement.
"The reason you felt chills coming from my sword, Issei, is because it is a holy sword, a powerful one at that, and is naturally deadly to Devils, that chill was your instincts kicking in and telling you to get away from it," Michael explained happily.
"But how can you wield a holy-sword when you are a Devil, and a pureblood at that," Asia asked in curiosity.
"This is why I can wield a holy-sword," Michael reveals his ten wings and golden Halo (4 golden Angel wings, 2 crimson Dragon wings, 4 black Devil wings)
Everyone in the room except Rias widened their eyes and gasped in shock at the sight of his ten wings. "I don't understand! "How is it possible for you to be part Angel?" "More so When did you become a Dragon?" Sona asked in shock and amazement at the number of Michael's wings
"I also would like to know that as well, you never did tell me how you became part Dragon." Rias stated this with curiosity evident in her voice.
"Well to answer your first question as you know my mother is Venelana Gremory, but what you didn't know is that my father was Rafael a member of the Seraph. The reason I say was is simply because he is dead... a month or two after my 12th birthday I accidentally killed him... I don't really remember what made me do it but... it happened." Michael spoke in a depressed manner while remembering the past clearly suppressing tears trying not to cry.
Michael collected himself then spoke "And to answer your second question I have been part Dragon all my life." Everyone in the room except Rias gasps "But 4 years ago I gave my heart to the Dragon living within me."
"What do you mean by that?" Sona questions curiously "I will show you what Dragon I mean" Two gauntlets appear on his arms "This is my sacred gear, the Reality Gauntlet" Michael speaks seriously
"But you are not human how is it that you have a Sacred Gear?" Tsubaki questions suspiciously
"We don't know how I have a Sacred Gear, but it seems that this Sacred Gear has never appeared until my birth." "Honestly I believe that God himself foresaw my birth and created it for me"
"But why would God do that if he had indeed foreseen your birth?" "After all you are a Devil, one of the races that he is against." Asia questions hoping for answers
"I did say I was part Angel didn't I?" everybody nods "Well that may be the reason, after all that would mean a being to end the conflict between the three great powers" everybody nods in agreement
"The reason why I gave my heart to Splinder is because, at that time I was traveling, you know so that I could learn more about the human world, much like Rias did with Japan"
Start Flashback
Michael is walking along the streets of a town in England, until he notices three Fallen Angel's following a teenaged girl with light brown hair made into pony tails. Upon seeing the girl Michael has a vision.
Start Vision
Total darkness envelopes Michael's vision, he looks to his left and notices a group of unrecognizable faces, to his right another group. Standing to his left is the girl, standing to his right is a blonde girl of similar height wearing a wizards hat and cloak.
End Vision
The vision ends and Michael begins following at a distance so as not to be detected. Michael continued to keep an eye on the young girl, until they came upon her house, no one around the Fallen Angel's decided to strike.
The Fallen Angels throw a few light spears that manage to pierce the girls arms and legs, forcing Michael to move quickly lest the girl die. Michael steps between the girl and the Fallen Angel's in order to protect her, he reveals his Angel wings and halo "As an Angel of heaven I order you to leave, or you will die by my hands". Michael threatened while summoning a red light spear. The Fallen Angels wisely retreat but not before giving a warning,"We will come for the girl even if we have to kill you to do it"
Once the Fallen Angels have left Michael walks over to the girl. Picking her up he puts his wings away and knocks on the door to her house. The door opens to reveal a man in his early thirty's with light brown hair. "Irina, what has happened to you?" Irina's father questions her, then looks at Michael who is holding Irina bridal style. "Who are you? And what are you doing with Irina?"
"My name is Michael, now let me in, Irina has been critically injured and I am unsure of her condition"
"Of course, come in." Irina's father steps aside to let the pair in. Entering the living room, Michael rests Irina down on the couch.
"How do we help her, look at her, she's bleeding to death. She needs to go to the hospital!"
Michael looks at Irina's father with disdain. "Be quiet and let me think." If I don't do something soon she's going to die, that much is certain. But how much can I do without having her father know what I am...
"Please, do something." Irina's father is practically begging at this point.
This man's a servant of god... I can smell it.. Michael stands, revealing his wings once more.
"I am an angel of the lord, I can save this girl but I need her conscious to do it. Do you have any smelling salts in this house?"
"Yes, yes of course. I'll be right back."
While he's gone I'll do what I can with my devil magic... Michael's angel wings fold back into his back, his devil wings pushing their way out. Keeping an ear out for her father he starts healing her wounds one by one, sealing the burns. He hears the father coming back from the bathroom so he swaps his wings back. Placing a hand on her chest he focuses closely on her heart, forcing it to beat faster.
"Is she better?"
"As I said, I cannot heal her fully while she's unconscious..."
"Right, here's the salts you asked for."
Taking the small blue capsule from the man he breaks it under Irina's nose, causing her to gag, cough then wake.
Opening her eyes slowly, the first thing she sees is an Angel standing over her.
"W-what happened..?"
"You were attacked.. By fallen angels. My guess is because you will be of great importance later..." Michael looks up as he hears a noise from outside.
"What's your name?" Irina asks him
"Michael" He replies absentmindedly. "Get down, the fallen ones are back."
The door is kicked in with a sudden resounding crash. One of the three fallen angels that attacked Irina walks through what is now a hole in the wall.
"I told you we'd kill you to get to her, holy boy." The fallen in the doorway says this with a mocking voice.
"So of the three, only one of you is man enough to face me... pathetic!"
"No, the other two were just smarter about it..." this voice comes from behind him, Michael turns to see a hole in the roof with two fallen angels standing below it.
How did I not hear that?
"We were smarter, when he kicked in the door, we kicked in the roof..."
"Not too smart. You're stupid enough to challenge the heavenly angel Michael."
"We don't need to kill you, just her!" The big guy at the door throws a light spear through the couch, piercing Irina's heart and killing her instantly.
Michael's first reaction is one of pure white hot rage. Suddenly he hears a voice in his mind.
Calm yourself Michael
Who is this?
I am the Dragon residing in your sacred gear; I am Spiritus Dei, I am Splinder!
What the hell's a spiritus dei?
It's Latin, it means spirit of God. I am the one true Dragon of heaven, the only one with dominion over the holy realms and the human realm.
So why should I calm myself? They just killed the girl I was trying to protect!
I can fix that, and them, all I require in return is a small tribute...
What kind of tribute..?
You. My dear host you must offer me your heart. Literally...
So, you can revive the girl.. And kill the fallen ones?
...Yes
Do it...
Michael feels a sharp stabbing in his chest as his heart folds in on itself and he feels it crumpling under immense pressure.
"What the hell, is he having a heart attack?"
As suddenly as it started, the pain vanishes. Michael is left with a strange sensation as if his heart is no longer his own.
"You have used up your last chance."
"Oh? What are you going to do?"
"Simple; I am going to forgive you..." Michael feels his hands raise, one in the direction of the door, the other in the direction of the two fallen angels behind him. A massive flash of white light fills the room. When it passes, standing at the door is a heavenly angel. Looking behind him Michael sees two more heavenly angels standing behind him.
Splinder what did you do?
As I said; I forgave them. I welcomed them back into the realm of heaven and erased their memories so they themselves would forget their transgressions...
You can do that?
I am Spiritus Dei, I can do all that and much more, for example; Michael once more feels his hand move against his will. Coming to rest on Irina's gaping chest wound, Michael is surprised to see it closing up on itself and Irina's eyes open.
End Flashback
"So... Now you know what I am, you can either hate me or accept me, I don't really care either way but I hope you will accept me for whom and what I am just like Rias and the family did."
The room goes quiet for about a minute until Sona speaks
"I, of course, will accept you. I fell in love with you and nothing will change that," Sona spoke in an affectionate tone while caressing his cheek making Michael shed tears of happiness.
"I don't see any point in hating you; after all you can't choose who your parents are". Kiba spoke while bumping Michael's fist in friendship.
""You can't be all bad despite being an angel if you are Bouchou's/Rias-senpai's brother"". Issei and Saji both spoke in unison, the rest of Sona's peerage nodding in agreement.
"Thank you everyone, I appreciate it" Michael said showing gratitude
Akeno sighed before speaking "I guess that I'm not the only one with tainted blood then" Akeno hesitantly walked over to Michael and revealed her two wings (the right wing that of a devil and the left wing that of a Fallen-Angel) Issei and Asia gasped at the new knowledge about Akeno.
"So you really are half Fallen-Angel" Michael said while comforting Akeno. "What? You knew what I was?" Akeno asked in shock.
"Of course I did, do you really think from the time that we have been together that I wouldn't be able to sense the Fallen-Angel in you?". "I have known what you are from the very moment that we met." Michael spoke continuing to comfort Akeno. "But why didn't you say anything?" Akeno asked suspiciously
"I didn't say anything because I knew that you would eventually tell me when you were ready" Michael responded seriously
"Akeno I don't care that you are part Fallen Angel after all you are what you are and nothing can change that" Michael spoke reassuringly
"I agree with Michael-San on this" Issei walks over to Akeno "Akeno-San is Akeno-San and nothing will make that change" Issei spoke confidently
The room went silent after that sudden discovery
"Well now that's over why don't we get down to business" Sona suggested trying to change the mood in the room
"Yes, why don't we. What did you come down for"
"Oh nothing really, just came to congratulate you for increasing the number of your servants"
"Why thank you, and I'm glad to see that you done the same"
"Your new servants don't have familiars yet do they?" Sona asked curiously
"No they don't. Not yet anyway, I was planning on going next weak"
"Well that leaves us with a problem, as the Familiar Master only takes people once a month" Sona stated noticing the predicament.
"I know, why don't we settle this with some friendly school based challenges, and the winner gets to go," Rias proposed.
"That's a good idea."
"Before you guys begin I would like to show you the familiar that I obtained, just recently. But we will need to go outside since 'she' is too big to fit in this building" Michael suggested with a excitement lased in his voice
(Scene Change) Outside The Old School Building
Michael Created a magic circle "Cynder my friend and familiar, I call upon you in my time of need, COME FORTH"
The magic circle glowed a bright crimson red and revealed a large blue Dragon.
"Hello Cynder, good to see you."
"Hello Michael-Sama good to see you as well" Cynder replied politely
"Everyone this is my familiar, a Blizzard Dragon named Cynder," Michael explained.
"Cynder this is Rias Gremory my sister and her peerage; Akeno Himajima - Queen, Koneko Toujou - Rook, Kiba Yuuto - Knight, Asia Argento - Bishop and Issei Hyoudou - Pawn."
Rias and her peerage replies "Hello, nice to meet you."
"This is Sona Sitri my fiancé and her peerage, Tsubaki Shinra - Queen, Tsubasa Yura - Rook, Tomoe Meguri - Knight, Reya Kusaka - Bishop, Momo Hanakai - Bishop, Ruruko Nimura - Pawn and Saji Genshirou - Pawn"
"It is a pleasure to meet you Cynder" Sona and her servants reply
"Yes it is a pleasure to meet you all, especially Michael-Sama's sister and fiancé" Cynder replied happily
"Well now that introductions have been made why don't we head back to the club room and decide on the sports for the competition" Sona suggested
Michael stopped everyone in their tracks "Wait a moment, I have BIG surprise for you" Michael giggled
Michael created another magic circle beside him "Tiamat my friend and partner, I call upon you in my time of need, COME FORTH"
A beautiful woman with long, silky black hair with blue streaks emerges from the magic circle and hugs Michael in an affectionate manner
"Hello Michael-san, good to see you again"
"Yes it is go to see you as well" Michael spoke with an affectionate tone while stroking her head
"Michael who is this and why is she so affectionate towards you?" Sona questioned clearly annoyed
"This ,Sona, is my other familiar 'Tiamat' the Dragon King" Michael spoke with pride and happiness in his voice
"Did you say Dragon King?"
"Yes, yes I did Tsubaki" Michael replied with a cheeky grin
"But Michael, why is Tiamat affectionate towards you?" Rias asked in confusion
"I think it might have something to do with the Dragon part of me"
"What do you mean, I don't fully understand" Sona asked in a confused manner
"Well, I am a powerful Dragon, so Tiamat must have been drawn to my Dragon side" Michael explained
"Ok, Michael is that all that you have to show us?" Sona asked for confirmation
"Yes it is, we can go back inside now" Michael suggested
