Chapter one: The Last Solider

(third person P.O.V.)

A video screen comes online as a raven haired boy with hazel eyes finishes typing on the keyboard to the computer. He stares into the screen as he begins talking.

"It's been eight months since our "graduation". My name is Minato Hitori and I was among the 6 of graduates. We all shared a last laugh, gave advice, and said our goodbyes. Everyone else moved on and now it's only me and Otonashi." The boy scratches behind his head as he recalls the event. "I really do feel sorry for him, not even a day after graduation and kanade moved on leaving him. I cheered him up and distracted him as much as I can."

"I've been having him as my assistant on working with me on some projects. In memory of the AfterLife Battlefront or Shinda Sekai Sensen, which ever you prefer, we used the school's arts room for getting a hammer and chisel to make a statue of the group*1. When we finished we put in down in the old guild, if we let others see it, they might rebel too, and Otonashi made me swear to help the other move on and not stay here forever. That took about a month and we made more and more projects."

"Next we made upgrades and new abilities to the angel player software. It's not like we are use it but better safe than sorry. We managed to create an accel boost to our speed among other boosts and we've sparred using them." He Adjusts the recording webcam and uses the handsonic skill, it looks more durable and stronger than the past ones and manages to switch to a bo-staff ,katana, and many more. He gets distracts and practices swinging it before realizing he's still recording and readjusts the webcam and sits back down. "I can see why Otonashi wanted to work on this, it's as much of a tribute to kanade as it is to have fun with it. Needless to say we used it to break up fights and such but we claimed we were enforcers of this world. Me and Otonashi have really bonded a lot through these projects, makes me wish I got to know the entire group more." The boy stares for a minute with a sad smile on his face before shaking his head. "Oh well, can't change the past, but we can shape the future"

"Well, all things come to an end. After many more projects here we are. Right now we're working on a portal back to life. The thing is about being revived is you don't hold on to any of your memories from here when you come to life. We aim to change that, as we're trying to create a portal from here back to real life. If it works, Otonashi will remember everything and be able to look for kanade and the rest of our group. Personally though, I really am trying to give him that chance. When I first mentioned this project, it uplifted him more in mere moments I explained to him about the project then in the past 6 months."

"Anyways right now we're putting the final data in and going to test it out. We've hidden it in old guild and ensured a scan that would only let us back here should it fail and a recording of our memories. We'll keep trying until we get it."

"Though needless to say we're trying to force our way out of here and if God does exist, he won't be pleased at this. I'm also trying to find a way to send equipment with us in case our new life is as bad as our previous life but it'll have to be a trial by fire. Well this is it. See ya around and hope you guys manage to find this place and recording. Minato out."

The screen shows an end recording icon and then Minato powers down the computer and grabs the duffle bag next to him and walks over to the portal.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Minato's P.O.V.)

I'm standing next to Otonashi as we both look into each other's eyes and nod.

This is it.

This just might end up a massive failure and wipe our existence from reality. But we're willing to take that chance.

I head over to the console and typing in the codes for the portal to activate. Funny thing, in the past months we actually managed to find the basis for this world and it's like coding for a program, guess that explains the angel player software. If these coordinates are right then we'll be able to get back to life with our memories and bodies intact.

Not to mention we may have found the "entrance" to the afterlife so to speak.

If we get here with our memories, we could theoretically force ourselves out with our memories through the entrance or use the entrance as a bypass point and arrive back on earth along with our memories.

I finish typing in the codes and flick the switch the portal turns on and an image of the hospital where Otonashi's sister died.

"You sure about this?", I asked with genuine concern in my voice.

"I could send you somewhere else, maybe even try to find kanade first and send you to her".

This was where his life changed but also where part of his heart died.

I don't think he'd really want to go back there first

"Hey, don't tell me you're turning like Hinata now" he put up his hands in front of himself and backed from away

I narrowed my eyes at him and released a strong killing intent at this and simply said with no emotion

"I'll freaking kill you, you bastard"

He laughed and replied

"gomen, gomen, it's just rare for you to show emotions, and much less concern"

I simply sighed at his antics,"You know it's because you guys were…. No are my family" I corrected myself mid-sentence, "and besides on the off chance it doesn't work, we might actually kick the bucket this time around."

"I know but it's still surprising to see you like this, might less take the extra work to find kanade, you know how impossible it was to find the codes just to get to EARTH! Right?"

He stressed the word earth strongly and I simply stated back

"It doesn't matter to me, you did a lot for us and finding kanade is the least I could for you".

He just waved it off and replied back with a smile,

"Nah it's ok, besides it'd be kind of weird if I went to her and told her we met and fell in love in a past life".

I stared at him with a blank expression for a few seconds before breaking into a laugh.

"Yah you're right, it'd be creepy and she'd think you're a stalker or pervert and that wouldn't be a great start for a relationship".

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At that moment, in parallel worlds Saito, Kamito, and Tomoki all sneezed, along with countless others who shall not be named, at the same time.

"Huh? I wonder if someone's talking about me."

"It's probably most of the girls gossiping about me again"

"heh, looks like someone's jealous of my wonderful life"

And such comments were made by the other characters of various animes, mangas, and light novels

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"oi, oi, don't go and jinx either of us now, yourself especially" he joked around

"WORRY ABOUT THAT YOURSELF IDIOIT!" I shouted at him, if there's a perverted first encounter it'll be him, not me

He laughed and came up to me and gave me one final high five before standing in front of the portal.

"Meet you in this life or the next, Minato Hitori"

I can see a sad smile on his face and wave to him as he goes into the portal in a low voice but still loud enough for him to hear.

"It was honor to be your friend, Otonashi Yuzuru".

And he was gone.

He didn't disappear in the normal way but as in small orbs of light into the portal and hopefully to a life where he remembers everything and meets kanade.

I laughed at out and ruffled my own hair.

A cold, laugher.

One filled with sadness and loneliness.

Now I really do mean my last name.

Hitori. Alone.

I'm alone again, and just when I had found a group to join, friends to hang out with,….. a family to love.

However the portal flickered and I rushed back to the console and my eyes widen to plates as I saw the codes being erased and the portal disappearing.

"teh" I mutter under my breath as I put up and makeshift barrier around the area and re-pasted the code.

No time to decide where I'll go. Just have to meet up with Otonashi if he made it. If I make it.

The barrier collapsed and I felt a great strength pressing down upon me.

However there was no pain, instead it felt like ...nothing, I was becoming nothing.

I grabbed my bag and ran toward the portal.

[Guard skill: Accel] I activated my skill and used the speed and strength burst from it to shoot myself into the portal.

I closed my eyes as I entered the portal.

Hoping for the best.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(Third person P.O.V.)

As soon as Otonashi entered the portal, God had finally had enough of this human defiance and decided to erase the portal and its creators. However Minato defied God even more by erecting a barrier around the portal and using the barrier to buy time to join him.

God smirked at this and decided to humor him as he crushed the barrier as Minato rushed and entered the portal. But not before God began erasing the codes and ejecting him from this world.

"Let us see human, you who continues to defy me until the last moment".

God grinned from his place above

"Let us see how you live up to your name in a world where you and your fellow rebels never existed."

With this the afterlife became as God wanted it to be.

And this marked Minato's journey, his fight, and his proof of existence.

AND NOW IT"S AUTHOR'S NOTES TIME!

*1 Think of the group in the ending song of angel beats but with a certain OC of mine in it

YAY! My first chapter of my first fanfiction :D. Now let my use this time to clear up some questions you may have

I'm sorry if this seems a little dumb but used the fact the idea that the afterlife battlefront created their weapons and such from memories and dirt and the angel player software gave the abilities it did, and then the afterlife is sort of like program that uses codes.

Originally I planned to have this portal idea as a way to link between crossovers or have God finally tire of human defiance against him and erase Minato from existence. But Minato refuses his fate and is not erased but ejected into the void where the first world to come up would be the world of high school DxD.

I'll let you guys decide if you want the 1st option, the 2nd one, or a mixture of both and I'll rewrite the chapter as needed

Also my OC and Otonashi have made MAJOR upgrades to the abilities of the Angel Player Software and before anyone asks, yes Minato will be able to use these skills and abilities in the HSDxD universe. What might these new skills be? Ubububububububu you'll just have to wait and see.

As stated before, this is my first fanfiction and I'm having a hard time making long chapters, never realized how hard it is. . I have a new found respect for my favorite authors of my favorite stories. In the beginning, my chapters will be one thousand words min and five thousand max. I'll work on it more as I have time now.

PLEASE REVIEW AND COMMENT
