Well guys, I'm back and this time we're in the world of Highschool DxD and you know what that means right? Lots of sexual themes and other stuff. But in all seriousness, this is going to be one of my more favorites since I'm going to paint Issei in an entirely different light and I'm sure you all will enjoy it. Enough with the preface let's get into it!

Chapter 1 Demon, Dragon, or both?

Issei was just a little kid at the time. He had a loving mother and father and a little sister who was just 6. Her name was Kuroko Hyoudou. It was a very nice name and appropriate to since she always wore black clothing and had black hair. Issei was 8 so naturally he tried to be Mr. bossy pants but his sister was tough so they grew to have a strong relationship. She had long black hair and had a genetic defection that gave her grey eyes which was weird but everyone thought it was cool since it gave her this mysterious look. She also had a weird sense of fashion. She always liked frilly clothing that was black. They would always play together, argue, take baths together, you know the usual. It was about 2 years down the line when they both were near the end of their days of 6th grade when they walked home together that something seemed off. They always remained tight because of their childhood and their ordeals. It was a tough life to go through but they didn't love each other any less. They walked into their house since one of their parents was usually home when they got out. It was pretty late, about to the point where the sun crested the horizon and it was getting dark. Their parents trusted them enough since Issei's dad personally paid for him to go to kendo and various hand-to-hand combat lessons for 4 years. His dad always told him that this was to protect anything that you cared about, not to hurt people so Issei poured himself into it. Now he was 10 and he had a black-belt in overall fighting and was winner of the Pre-Teen National Fighting Championship. As they walked in Issei called out for their parents.

"Mom, Dad, we're home!" Issei called out

No one called out back to him or his sister so he started walking farther back in the house.

"Mom, Dad? Are you here?" he called out again

Something wasn't right. Usually dad would call out from the living room but it was empty or mom would be in her room or in the kitchen making dinner for when they got home.

"Kuroko, stay in the kitchen. If anyone other than me, mom, or dad walk in, shout. Can you do that?"

"Yea sure but why are you worrying?"

"I just got a feeling is all."

Issei gripped the necklace that was around his neck. It hand a ring on it that had some scratches on it but what was an interesting characteristic was that it had moving gears on it that you could use. It was an heirloom passed down that signified toughness, will, and strength to overcome any obstacle, like a machine.

She knew that whenever he got a feeling it was spot on, so she hung out in the kitchen with the lights on. While she did that, Issei dropped his back pack and moved down the hallway. He looked into the washing room, bathroom, and living room. Not even a single living thing to be found. He moved up the stairs and he check his room, Nothing. He then went to his sister's room, nothing. Then finally he went to his parents room. When he drew closer, he was hit in the face with a smell. It was nasty, like someone left out cheese for 2 weeks then had cows shit in it. he coughed a bit before reaching for the handle. He opened the door swiftly. It was then that his chocolate brown eyes laid upon the scene before him.

His parents were there on their bed, dead. They were stripped naked, had various burn marks in all three degrees, covered in semen of who knows, and then gutted and left to have their organs spill out with their blood. It stained the entire bed and started to pool on the once clean floor. There was also various whip marks across their bodies and what's the worst of it, they were strung up from the ceiling by hook and chain. Undoubtedly they suffered greatly and the hands of their capturers.

His pupils dilated to the point of the size of erasers on pencils and he was about to scream out but something caught him before he could speak. He heard multiple loud crashes come from downstairs. It took not even a second to register that his sister was still down there. He rushed without hesitation down to the kitchen and jumped down the whole set of stair steps and slid into the doorway of the kitchen. He was not having a good day today.

There was masked assailant standing there with his sister being suspended by… a spear of light? He didn't question it but what he did see what the fact that it was going through his sisters gut. She was bleeding a lot staining her frilly black dress. She turned around just enough to see Issei. Her eyes softened a little before she mouthed quietly.

Run away Issei

His eyes widened as she said that but he was frozen with fear. He didn't move and now the masked man spotted him and he knew he was dead. Then his sister with her dying strength, kicked him in the face and shouted.

"Run away Issei! Get out of here! Live on and fight another day!"

Issei, however torn he was, knew that she had a point. If he had a weapon, made of light no less, he was at a disadvantage. So with tears and agony in his heart, he took out the door in a full sprint towards the woods. He continued running until he came upon a cave. He was running for at least 2 minutes and he was deep into the woods. He ran into the cave and kept going until he came upon an open area with a small pool of water and reflective crystals. He sat down on a rock and he cried. He cried for who knows how long but he only stopped because he ran out of tears to cry with. His cheeks were red and there were water trails from his eyes. He wiped them away and pulled out his necklace that he always had on him. He continued to sniffle while he held it in his hands and whispered to himself.

"Mom… Dad… Kuroko… why did this have to happen?" he continued sobbing but no tears came and they never will because someone answered him

"That is a simple answer young one. This happened because you hold me and they have sought me out for thousands of years."

He looked up and around the rather large room where there was enough light to look around. He didn't notice anyone which confused him.

"Who's there?!" he called out

"How about you look down at your hands." The voice called out. The voice was smooth and sounded like it belonged to a rich young man.

Issei looked down at his hands and saw his necklace. On the inside, there was something etched into the ring. It was worn down but it was in some type of language he couldn't read.

"Put the ring on Issei. Everything can and will be explained if you put it on." Spoke the voice again

"And if I don't?" he didn't know why he asked such a question but he just wanted to see what would happen

"Then you won't know who killed your family and you won't be able to ascertain the power to do something with such information."

Issei with haste and not thinking clearly, tore the ring of the necklace chain and put it on his left ring finger. The gears started turning by themselves and had the faintest of glows to them before they stopped and flashed a light. Issei then felt light-headed before collapsing on the ground in the cave.

Subconscious

Tatsumi sat up with a jolt and tried to look around. He quickly scanned around to find that he was in a castle type room. It was massive and reached up at least 150 feet. There were paintings on the ceiling and two rows of pillars leading from a large set of wooden doors to a throne. There were various armor and weapon stands with gear ranging from the medieval age all the way to somewhere in the future. What was off putting though was that there was a suit of armor that looked really scary sitting on the throne. The throne itself was basic. It was a large rock chair with a bunch of carvings in it to make it look beautiful. Of course it seemed to not be in use as evident of the moss growing in the engravings but nowhere else, not even on the suit. Speaking of the suit…

It looked like someone thought it was a good idea to mix the characteristics of a shark, a demon, and a dragon with an under bite and use that as inspiration for a suit of armor. (forgive my explanation here since it won't do the picture any justice.) its helmet had two horns protruding out backwards instead of forward or up. It also had a head of hair that looked silky and red and it only grew out the back of the helmet. It also seemed to have a horn right where the forehead was and it seemed to have an under bit with rows of sharp spike for teeth and along the jaw line. Its torso was layers upon layers of curved spike armor that covered nearly every part of the body. Any part that wasn't covered had this black fabric covering it. its shoulders were just as scary. It was a triple layer of plates with a very large spike going through all three of them and was sharp along its edges. It also had this little décor near the face that looked like the top of a fence. The gauntlets were also slightly layered except for the underarm and that was also covered by the black fabric. Finally the legs were just cast with one section of metal with the kneepads sticking with the theme and just looked like a shrunken version of the shoulder pads minus spikes. The areas that weren't covered by the armor were again, covered by the black fabric and the armor seemed to have some small chains dangling from the waist.

Issei slowly walked up to it and looked at it closely. It also had a shield that was also layered and sharp. The whole suit seems to just be a giant blade. The shield had large gold decals on it and the sword seemed to be a mix of a rapier and a one handed long sword. As he looked at it, the voice came back again.

"This is what is inside the heirloom that you now have around your finger. Suits of armor, old weapon relics that have never worked for anyone who found them, and a perfectly forged suit of armor found in ruins that no one knows about. Issei, are you willing to take the responsibility of this place, the Room of Kings?"

Issei's face was still puffy and red from crying despite being in his subconscious but he finally put on a stern face and looked behind him where he assumed the voice was coming from.

"Will I be able to find out who killed my family and get revenge on them if I take this?" he inquired with as much of a serious voice he could muster

"Yes, and along the way I will guide you to new friends, power, and a place to call home. And who knows, maybe, just maybe, we might get to met them again."

Issei exhaled before turning around and looking at the scary armor suit. He then put his hand on the armor and it felt almost alive, like it was breathing and had a heart beat. Its eyes glowed red before one of its hands grabbed him. It then pinned him to the ground and looked right at him. The voice piped up again.

"Oh this is interesting…"

Issei spoke up to the suit that sprung to life.

"My name is Issei Hyoudou and you will heed my command. I am your master and you will help me achieve my goal."

The suit let up its grip a little bit and it as just enough to stop hurting. It then spoke in a very deep voice that was like a mix of a demon and a dragon.

"So you are of the Hyoudou blood line? Then prove it and I will join your cause."

Issei's mind drew a blank for some seconds before it popped into his head. He stuck out his neck and gestured.

"Why don't you taste to find out?"

"You are a brave one Issei, very well then."

The under bite that it had popped off before the suit ripped off the shirt that was covering his shoulder. Then it bit down and sunk its metal fangs into his skin. Weirdly enough it didn't hurt but he could feel the blood trickle out and across his skin before getting drank by this thing. It then licked his wounds which healed them at inhuman rates before standing back up.

"This is indeed the blood of the Hyoudou line. Very well then, my master, what is it you desire of me?" the suit knelt down on one knee like a knight

"first I need something to wear in the real world when I find these dirt bags, do you know which one of these would be the best?"

"Why not me, master? I was made to be a symbiotic suit of the highest caliber of defense and strength. You will have the power to make even the strongest in heaven and hell and between bend their knee to you."

"Wait, angels and devils exist?"

"Yes, master, they do. Anything that is mythological exists and has existed since before humans. Even primordial beings like death, life, chaos, order, sin(s), dragons, and much more."

"then what would that make you?"

"I am Bahamaut, the Supreme Dragon God of Dimensions, master. The only beings that come close to me are primordial entities and 2 dragons in particular. The Ouroboros dragon and the Red Dragon God Emperor but they are all so weak. The way I got like this was from all the Primordial beings coming together with those two dragons to destroy me and lock me away. However throughout the years, the Hyoudou bloodline has served me well and brought me back together but not like my old self but rather this armor that I am now."

"Okay, next question, is there a weapon that would suffice?"

"The sword that was leaning on me will suffice for almost all combat situations, but given your upbringing with fist combat, you may not need it. and if things get really bad you should call upon Anduril."

"Anduril?"

"It is a spear forged by me and the Primordial beings power during the only fight we had and I was defeated. It was the main reason they won, and now that it is my possession, I made it so that it is no longer effective on me. When you need it, you must enact a chant to bring it about."

Bahamaut reached out and touched Issei's forehead and two particular chants came to him.

"What's this other one for?" asked Issei as Bahamaut retracted his hand

"That is to fully summon me and my power. When you call my name, I will come to you like how you see me right now, but if you use this, then I will come to your aid and no one will stop us." You could tell he was smiling under that helmet but that didn't discourage him any

"And finally two more things. One are you the voice I was hearing?"

"No, that is rather some of the people who were in your bloodline that died trying to bring me together. For that I have brought them here to live and keep their souls from going to any other place on the chance that they might release information. And the second thing?"

"I am weak right now. I am only 10. Can you help me get stronger for a while until I feel ready to go and find these guys?"

"Of course master, it would be my pleasure to teach you the way of the blade and to train you from the ground up to fight like a true warrior."

"Thank you Bahamaut." Said Issei with a smile, however that smile would not come back for some time

"No I must thank you master, for now I can be relieved of this boring state and I can stretch my limbs."

Tatsumi thought to himself of those scenes. He would find those scum sucks and make them pay, but not before he got stronger and tried to find his way in life now.

Chapter End

Well that's that people. The first chapter of our new DxD story and the beginning of our boy Issei. Now what was funny was thanks to writing AKG over the course of like 3 months, I accidentally typed Tatsumi's name like 10 times when I meant to type Issei. What will happen for our main character, what new challenges might he face? Find out in the next episode of Dragon Ball Z Kai. Jk but stay frosty boys and girls
