So, this is my first story... Kings

I like the show, but I wanted to make some changes to it for my first fanfic, to see what I can do. So, in this story, Issei is more normal, to the point where he is friends with Yuuto (He calls him Yu). He plays basketball on the school's team, but is a nerd at heart. His given power is MUCH greater than before, no spoilers just yet. Two other major changes: Vali (I hate his character more than the math teacher that tried to fail me) DOESN'T EXIST, and there will be an overpowered original character that will work with Issei. I have read most of the LN, but this will veer off the story part way through season 2 of the anime, because I like the setup to the characters and their conflicts. Also, this is third person p.o.v. with an emphasis on Issei and the OC. I own nothing.

Enjoy,

That Night By The Fountain

"Hey, Yu!" Issei yelled, running to catch up to his friend, Yuuto. "You goin' to your club?" They stopped in front of the old building that housed the Occult Research Club.

"Yeah, but don't worry, I will come by to play God of War with you later." He said, smiling.

"Okay, but I don't get why I can't be in your club. I would be up to whatever sick "ritual" your crazy girlfriend is into." Issei replied, using air quotes on ritual.

"Hey, Akeno isn't crazy...she's just," He had to stop and think for a second, "crazy." He conceded, "but don't tell her I said that. Besides, maybe one day you can join our club, if you can grow wings and fly." They both started laughing at the idea. As Issei laughed, Yuto snuck a summoning paper in Issei's back pocket.

"Okay, I'll see you later, and tell Rias I said hi!" Issei said and walked off towards his home. He enjoyed the felling of the spring time air and was excited to get to go home right after school, while the sun was still up. During basketball season they wouldn't get done with practice until after the sun went down. Now that there was nice weather and sunlight, he could go to the park and hang out for a while. When he got to the park he noticed something was off. No one else was there. Usually there were a lot kids and their parents at the playground, and some other highschoolers would be playing a game already. However, today, no one was in there. Issei decided everyone was busy and just went to go shoot hoops by himself.

An hour later, the sun had set and Issei was starting to get hungry, so he decided he had best head home. As he passed the fountain on the way out he noticed a very pretty girl with long, black hair crying on a nearby bench. There was no one else there that could have hurt her, and he hadn't heard anyone else arguing with her. He walked over to her and was startled when she looked up at him and immediately lunged to pull him into a tight hug.

"Please, I need help!" She pleaded.

"What...what's wrong," He stuttered, still copping with the fact her giant breasts were pushing against his chest.

"There's scary people out there. I'm afraid of what they might do to me!" She said, still crying into the crook of his shoulder.

"You want me to help?" He asked, but when she kept crying he gave in and said, "What can I do?"

"You'll do anything to keep me safe?" She asked excitedly as she took a step back to dry her tears. "Then," she leaned forward so her face was right in his, "die for me!"

"Wait, what?" He was puzzled what she meant, and then he watched as she floated into the air, changed clothes, and grew huge, black wings. Still shocked, he said, "Heh, I could get into the Yuto's club with that trick."

"I'm sorry, you are just too strong to keep around. This is the end for you, Issei." She said, grinning at him.

"How do you kn-" he was cut off by a spear of light that had been launched in his direction, and he tried to duck away. He heard an explosion behind him and was knocked to the ground.

"Raynare." A hooded man in a black cloak said from the top of a lamp post. "You should leave, before you make any more bad decisions."

"Who are you?" She yelled at the man. "Are you a devil, sent to protect the boy?"

"No, I am not a devil," the man said cooly. Issei had recovered and was now standing facing the two.

"Did Azazel send you? He said to watch him, but I have found that his power is too much, and he will probably join the devils soon, and with his power they will be able to win the next Great War easily," She said.

"No, I'm not a Fallen Angel." The man said. Issei looked on not understanding most of what was going on. He was worried about one thing they kept bringing up.

"Hey! Both of you! Stop talking about killing me!" Issei yelled at them. "I-" He paused when they both looked at him with deadly eyes. Raynare, as the man called her, charged another spear of light in her hand. This time, the man never let it leave her hand as a red blast from his hand ripped her arm off at the shoulder.

"Aaaa-" Raynare started screaming and reached for her arm, and in a flash the man darted to her side and had removed her head. Her head and body disappeared in a cloud of black feathers. The man then moved to stand directly in front of Issei.

"Summon your friend," He said completely calm, as if nothing had happened.

"What?" Issei replied. The night had gone from crazy to absolutely insane in a matter of seconds. All the shock was starting to make him dizzy.

"I need to talk to Ms. Gremory and her friends." He said, and removed his hood. Issei noticed that he wasn't a man, but a kid, probably around his age.

"My name is Grim, and you guys are going to need our help."

"[Greetings, bearer of the Ouroboros Dragon.]"

P.S. The title comes from the song Kings by Grieves. He talks about not being afraid of people/society and not succumbing to the pressure, and I feel like it ties in well to my two main protagonists, so check it out!
