HighSchool DxD SoulSwords Special

Stars shining bright in the black sky.

Issei was walking home from school after a tiring day. He wonders to himself about the destiny which he has to face Vali in a showdown. 'When will it happen?', Issei thought to himself as he was walking along the sidewalk.

Ahead: he saw two people fighting. It was Kiba! "Kiba!",shouted Issei. Kiba was fighting a knight in shining blue armour. He wields a big sword. With one swing, the knight cuts Kiba's sword in half.

"Boosted Gear!", says Issei as he unleash his sacred gear. Issei boosted up and punched the knight in the face followed by a Clang! It was a powerful hit but he din't even scratched the knight's armour.

"What the-"

Before Issei can finish, the knight has cut Kiba into half. It was brutal. "Your soul is mine, knight of Rias Gremory",said the knight as he holds up his sword and absorbed Kiba's soul.

"NOOOOOOOOO!", shouted Issei.

"Hmm, what's this? Oh, it's the infamous Red Dragon Emperor I've been hearing about. FINALLY.",says the knight. Issei was angry. His palms formed fists as he was about to fight. "You-you killed KIba! I'll never forgive you!", says Issei as he transforms into his Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker.

Issei shouted, "Get ready to feel PAIN!"

Issei dashed forwards at blazing speed. But, with one swing of the knight's sword knocked Issei 4 blocks away. "That power!", Issei thought to himself.

Issei din't see the knight coming. He hits Issei again knocking his feet of the ground. "Your soul is mine, Red Dragon Emperor", says the knight with his glowing red eyes.

'Is-is the end?', Issei thought to himself.

Then, out of the blue, Rias came and interfere the kill. "Issei!", shouted Rias. She shot the knight with her powers, knocking him towards a building. Rias ran to Issei to check on him.

"Is-Issei, are you okay?"

"I-Im fine, thanks for the help Rias"

Rias casts a magic circle and teleported back to Issei's house.

"Red Dragon Emperor, we will meet again.", said the knight as he watched Issei and Rias disappear.

"Is-Issei!", shouted Asia

"I was worried sick! Where were you?"

"Issei, what did you see?", Rias asked.

"I-I saw Kiba died in front of my eyes", murmured Issei.

"That bastard killed my friend!"

"Kiba..", said Asia softy.

Issei angrily went upstairs still thinking on what he just saw. 'Did Kiba really died so soon?' Issei thought to himself. He was tired. He sat on his bed and drifted off to sleep.

"Boy", said Ddraig.

"The knight you encountered wields more power than you could ever imagine. That fight just now, he-he wasn't even using 1/1000000 of his power."

"Who was he? Where did he come from?", says Issei.

"A long time ago before anything existed, God created two swords. They were called Soul-Swords. One sword of all evil, SoulEdge, and the other was a sword of all good, SoulCalibre. Then, he created two beings to weild the swords and balance evil and good. One was a brutal warrior in blue armour and the other was a protector of all good. Both of them held immense power and fought for a long period time to gain control. The knight had killed countless angels and was given the name Nightmare. The protector sacrificed himself to seal Nightmare away in the deepest part of hell so that he will never escape. Since there is no one to wield SoulCalibre anymore, he kept it away in the highest point of Heaven. However, since God died in the war between the three powers, no one was able to keep the seal of Nightmare for long and so, he Escaped hell." Ddraig's has told the tale and truth of the person he fought.

"N- Nightmare..", just Issei saying that gave him chills down his spine. Though, he was eager to get revenge.

The next morning: Issei woke up finding Rias beside him along with Asia.

'Nightmare', Issei just can't stop thinking about that name.

"I will GET MY REVENGE", says Issei in an angry tone.
