Chapter 1: A Devils Rude awakening.

Issei Hyoudou woke up to the sound of nothing, all around him everything was black, his light brown eyes scanning the room around him, "What's going on?" he thought looking around the space he was in, all he could see was darkness but yet it felt solid. He sat up and rubbed his head or he tried to rub his head, that's when he became aware of a sharp white hot pain that was traveling through his body.

"Partner, you awake yet?" The voice of Ddraig, his sacred companion called out, "I was sure that when you lost your arm that you were done for good. I've spent the last few weeks trying to even get into Astral Plane that your body shrouded itself in." The dark space soon became very hot and became filled with the fire of a thousand damned souls, and in the center of the fire looked a giant Welsh Dragon with Emerald Green eyes, "Welcome back Aibo."

Issei shook his head, "Lost my arm what do you me-" His voice trailed off as he looked down at his arm, or what should have been his arm, but now there was nothing. His mind reeled with questions as he slowly began to understand that he had no right arm right arm anymore, "What-why." His voice came out shaky, "Where are President and the others." Issei tried to keep a grip on things, if he could get to the President and the others then they would know what to do and how to fix him, he had to get there before he would bleed out.

"Don't worry about that Boob-boy. You're already dead." The dragon blew a cloud of fire as he looked at Issei with a look of pity, "Well You are actually on the balance on life or death, the only thing that's keeping you alive is my magic as well as the people around you." The shadows shimmered for a second and he saw a wary looking Akeno and Rias looking down on him while a large pink magic activation ring was between them, "They are feeding my power to keep you alive. They called on me as soon as you were discovered but you were as I said before shrouded in fire like a Defensive Drive." The image shimmered and it showed a figure lying on the floor with a ring of smoke around him, and as the two figures of the president and Akeno approached Issei a thin rope of fire would lash out at them.

Issei gritted his teeth as his whole body began to ache, the pain was starting to become unbearable. He didn't know what happened to him but he knew that all he really wanted to do at this point was find a way to stop the pain and see the President again, "I can't do anything to help you partner unless you seek out the help of a certain half-demon." The dragons gruff voice had interrupted Issei's thoughts and he looked up, "It is said that this half-demon is a son of a powerful Demon named Sparta, a mighty demon who is known as the "Legendary Dark Knight"" Issei fell to his knees as he felt the right side of his body go numb, "Hmm seems like they found a way to resurrect you. Then I will be quick, Go to the town called Fortuna, seek out Tony Redgrave, he will know how to repair the damage done by Mundus." Issei was about to ask what the dragon meant but he fell to the floor and his vision filled with a shimmering light.

Issei felt his head spin as he used his left arm to block the light that was blinding him, "Issei!" the sound of a frantic voice filled his ears and he remembered it almost immediately, "Issei, can you hear what I'm saying!? You can't leave us yet!"

-ZAP!-

Issei felt a shock travel up his body and shock his organs into overdrive, he inhaled sharply and sat up and almost fell over, he blinked and saw that he was back in his room at his house, and took a deep breath and stood up and looked around at the shocked faces of his tear-streaked faces of his friends all casting a spell around him, "Issei! Thank goodness." The voice of Issei's President, Rias Gremory rang out and Issei looked up and saw the beautiful president of the Occult Research Club her tear streaked face still as beautiful as ever, he was busy getting lost in thought about her when felt something slam against his body, making him sit back down and saw that the president had slammed into him while she began to demand that he was never allowed to die on her again.

"Issei-san, Im so glad." the voice of Asia Argento sighed in relief before he heard her slump onto the floor, He tried to reach out but the memory that he had lost his right arm came back into relaxation when he saw that, were his right arm had been there was a now nothing but the wound had looked as if it was already three years old and that his veins that were wound it seemed to be glowing a red black that was just around the wound, he stopped to marvel the old wound but he remembered that Asia had fainted,

"Asia!" Issei called out making his voice crack as he looked at her unconscious form on the floor, he was about to move until he felt something tighten around his chest and became aware that he had no shirt on. He heard the president's content sigh, "She's alright, she's been up the last two weeks trying to heal you but it was only last week we were able to break through your Defensive Drive." Issei looked at the president who was now holding him tightly, "When we were able to break through we weren't prepared for what we saw next, your arm was missing and your whole left side was in ribbons." Her hands traced some new claw-like scars on his lower torso, "Issei I thought that I was going to go crazy without you being here, and when I didn't know who I was going to hunt down I became frantic." Her hands made their way up to Issei's face and he became locked staring in the majestic eyes of the President making him blush and his troubles melt away, "Issei" she said sweetly, 'Who did this to you?" Her blue eyes soon became a light shade of scarlet as she let some of her power out.

"Now Rias, don't you think you're hogging him a little too much?" said a new more overly sweet voice, "After all, we all have been up and trying to help him." Issei felt something press against his back and he began to hyperventilate when he saw that Akeno Himejima was now hugging him closely and looking as equally tired as the President was trying to hide, "We can figure all of this out later, but for right now." She yawned, " L-Lets sleep." She laid her head on Issei's shoulder and began to sleep,

"You're right, I am going to share this once though." Rias stretched out and leaned on Issei, "You and I are sleeping close so you can't get away from me." She pushed Issei back forcing Akeno to fall off and huff in protest, and fell asleep on his chest. Akeno laid down on his shoulder, and Keneko muttered about him being a, "Pervert." but laid down near his legs and Kiba smiled and left the room along with Xenovia.

After a while when the only sounds were the sounds of the snores from the girls, his left arm began to feel like it was on fire, but not a like a burning fire more like sitting by a fire on a winter day as the Scared Boosted Gear appeared on his arm.

"Aibo, don't forget about going to the city. If you do this some of my reputation might be repaired to be what it once was, not a Boob Dragon." Ddraig huffed, "Also make sure to check out the sword that impaled in the wall." Issei was about to ask what he meant but he couldn't even move to look at any of the walls due the fact his body was weighted down,

"What sword, what does it do?" Issei was finally able to say, "It's going to unlock a power that you've been infected with, but heed this warning: should you unlock the power of this power, you will become a God and have all the weakness of a God." Issei swallowed as the earlier conversation came back into his mind.

"Whose Tony Redgrave?" Issei asked his partner, "I mean I don't even really remembered what happened to me," He looked over at his old missing arm and looked at the red/black glowing veins tracing their way up around the area, "I just remember going home and seeing a man with a Blue tail coat standing near the edge of my bed." Issei closed his eyes as he remembered coming home from a training session, and seeing the man with white hair and blue tail coat, "He said something like, 'You have a Divine Power to multiply, like him strength is your strong-suit and his downfall.' I also remembered he had a cane that looked like a sword, but after that it's all blank." Issei opened his eyes as he frowned and he felt something deep in him start to move around and before he knew it he felt the white-hot familiar feeling of anger wash over him.

"Careful partner, if you don't want to undo what Gremory and the rest of the family has done then don't try to call on me for awhile at least until I can rest and restore my power." The dragon did sound weary and Issei felt bad for him, "Who you met however, was Neo-Angelo. Once a man of great Valor and power but infected with a sour curse, the reason that you don't remember is due to the fact that you were dead and he used his blade, Yamato to cut the little part of your memories away when he killed you." Issei sat up and looked down at his Sacred Gear, "Why did he kill me though? I don't even know who Nelo-Angelo is!" He gritted his teeth, "Why did I have to die, just because he was in a bad mood!?" Once again something In Issei's stomach moved and he felt as if something was making him tap into some power that he shouldn't, but he wanted it. He wanted it BAD!

"He appeared because he probably thought that you had the same power as his brother Dante. It's said that anyone with the Blood Of Sparta is tied together, He was drawn to too because the last time you used your Juggernaut Drive, you had enough power to equal Dante's on a small scale." Issei closed his eyes in frustration, enough power to equal Dantes? Who was Dante? What did Issei have to do with him. "He probably picked up on the energy and went to find him and found you instead." Draig finished, the green light no longer glowing, "I have to rest partner." Before Issei could object the Sacred Gear went back to being Issei's arm and he looked down in disappointment. he wanted to know more of Nelo-Angelo but he knew that the dragon had used all of his divine power to restore Issei, "Rest well Ddraig." Issei said and he laid back down and closed his eyes, he hadn't really realised it but he was tired and starving, but mostly tired.

Issei dreamed that he was falling down, he screamed and tried to summon his wings but they wouldn't come out! He braced himself for the fall but he touched down lightly, he breathed a sigh of relief, "What was that about?" He looked around and began walking down a road that he wasn't really familiar with, the road looked as if it was made out of old cobblestone and the buildings were all tall and looked like something you would see out of a "Resurrection Evil" video game.

He came to an intersection and heard the sounds of hurried footsteps and turned around to see a young man in a blue tail coat and white hair running toward him, Issei thought that Nelo-Angelo had come back for another swipe at him but noticed that this guy looked like he was younger and he also saw that this guy had his arm wrapped up as if it was broken and there was no cane with him as well.

"If you're going to stand there like an idiot, then get out of my way." The young man called while running, Issei took note there was strange cloud like figures following him that had blade attached in various places, "Hey kid didn't you hear me?" The young man jumped on top of a car then kicked off of it doing a backflip and kicking a clown who had jumped out at him, "Unless you want to die then move." He landed next to Issei and ran down a road that seemed to lead to a church.

Issei followed not wanting to see what They would do to him if he stuck around, "What are those things?" He asked running alongside the young man, "They don't look like your average clowns!" Issei jumped to the side as a clown jumped from the roof at him, "They're Scarecrows." The young man sped up and jumped onto the side of a building and ran on a wall before jumping off of it and kicking off a Scarecrow letting Issei get a good look at the burlap sack like creature before it exploded into a bunch of black bugs swarming to get out of the sack.

"Who are you?"Issei asked when they had come to a stop at the church's front steps, "More importantly where am I? He looked around at the grandest church he had ever laid eyes on with the statue of what looked to be a man with horns and a proud face, holding a sword and glowering down at anyone who looked at it.

"Well my name is Nero." The young man stood up and Issei could see Nero was wearing a long black and red coat with an insignia sewn into both shoulders. He also wore a red zip-up hoodie/vest underneath this coat, a navy muscle-shirt beneath that, and a pair of dark blue pants, "You're on Furtuna Isle and this he pointed to the Church, "Is the only safe place for you."
