A destroyed world was our future.
Prelude
Hello my name is Issei. My last name doesn't matter anymore. It's been less than a year since I became a devil but the whole world is empty. It's been 6 months Trihexa returned to this world as Rizevim was successful at breaking its seal. Trihexa killed everyone who wasn't a dragon. Vali was slaughtered after trying to fight that monster. I miss him, as he was my rival but was also like my best friend. It was like Natsu and Gray's relationship from Fairly Flail, an anime that still hasn't been finished because well everyone is dead.
So what have I been doing the last six months since I had everything taken away from me? I have been looking into how to go back in time.
I spent the first month in hell trying to find the spell in the Grigori and in the main family libraries. I looked in all of the major libraries as I was desperate at the time as my lovers got killed and my best friends died in front of my eyes. After I realized that this was my chance to do something right I went searching in heaven too. That was what I was doing for the half of the second month. As I was at the end Ddraig finally woke up and I had told him what had happened. For the second half I spent time in the sacred gear room that God created. There we found our answer. God had created a spell that would allow one to return back in time with his current body. Meaning I would return with me and Ddraig together with our memories since Ddraig and me where connected. But in order to use such a spell I would need to get stronger.
While I was in Hades and came to the River Styx. I spent the last three months and crafted a total of 18 rings. Each ring had its own color stone like gem. Of them had a different name on it. Once I was finished I headed back up to heaven to go back in time.
That leads me to now. I am in God's office where he left the spell portal to go back in time. The only question is when. Back to when I was a kid so I could get even stronger, or during the fight against Riser and win that match, or go to when Diadora kidnapped Asia, or I could go back to the night I made love with Rias. Remembering all of these memories made me remember why God mad such a spell. It was to save others. After all of this time I knew one moment which I wanted to fix more than ever.
"Go spell Lost Ages" I said as I activated the portal after getting into my dragon god/heavenly dragon form mode. I had a mission to do and that is to save lives and I will get everyone through it this time.
"I will win this time" I said as I go through the portal.
{Scene break} in what was the past which is now the present.
"I won't let you get away you bitch!" I said at the fleeing Raynare. "This is for Asia!" I punched Raynare in the face sending her through the window.
"That felt good." I said stumbling down as Kiba caught me."Look at you handling that on your own…" Kiba was saying as I fainted. A light surrounded my body.
As I woke up personality wise, I transformed my body to body from the future. I guess I brought my body back too. I am also wearing some of my rings.
I saw Kiba right next to me. I then hugged him. Man was I glad to see him again although I do miss the she version. "Kiba is this really you?" I whisper into his ear.
Kiba was surprised by this. After all, my body did grow a lot in comparison to what it was at this time and not to mention I ask him if it is really him because it has been awhile since I saw Kiba as a guy. "Yes Issei, it is me why do you ask?" Kiba asked in confusion.
I then hug him tightly knowing that I saw him get killed. "Nothing Kiba it's just good to see you again." I said speaking of the future. I mean it has been six months since I saw them all get killed. I pulled myself together to reenact what needed to be done. "What took you so long?" I asked Kiba repeating the words from my past.
"Rias's orders sorry." Kiba said as Rias came out of the shadows.
"What seriously?" I once again said my past knowing that this isn't the time to change the past.
"Seriously." Rias said. "I believe in you. Once my business was finished. I went to the basement and found Koneko and Kiba in free for all with some fallen angel followers."
"I don't know if we wouldn't have gotten out without you." Kiba said as Koneko opened the giant doors of the church.
"Did someone order this?" Koneko says while carrying Raynare. "You must be Raynare, lovely entrance." Rias says before declaring her status as the next head.
"Gremory, you have got to be kidding me" Raynare says with fright.
"It's wonderful to meet you, what a shame we don't have time to chat. But sadly it's time for you to join your friends." Rias says with a ball of destruction in her hands throwing it slowly at Raynare. Luckily I move faster than it. I deflect it to the wall while knocking out Raynare.
"Issei why did you do that?" Rias says to me with anger evident in her voice. "She was the one who killed you and Asia. Why did you save her?"
"I plan on making her bend to my domination." I say as I pull out the Boosted Gear. "I am the red dragon of domination and the wielder of Ddraig. I will make her submit to me if I have to."
As I say that I begin to release some of my aura that I gained in my training. "I have seen that she is being used by someone. I also believe she will be useful in the in a little fight with a certain fire user." I say seeing Rias's confused face as she wonders how I knew of Riser.
She realizes that I am right that having a fallen under their custody would help her out. "Make sure to let your brother and Grayfia about your new prisoner. Can you go revive Asia and return these to her" I say as I hand the twilight healing rings to Rias as I set up Raynare's body back to the chairs in the church.
Rias preforms the ceremony and Asia and I have the same conversation as we did in the past. I then take Raynare to a nearby hotel after calling my parents telling them I was staying at a friend's house.
"Ugh what happened to me?" Raynare said looking around the room meeting my eyes filled with glee as I was happy she was alive. "Why did you save me after I tried to kill you and then kill Asia?" she asked me as if she regained her sanity.
"I saved you for a few reasons. One is that I need you and I know that you were under Kokabiel's mind control. Two I that I love you. And three I believe that you are the key to helping me save the future. And four it will help you if you live." I said as I lied down beside her on the bed. She turns to me.
"What do you mean I was under mind control and what do you mean about the future?" Raynare asked curiously.
"Kokabiel is prepping up to start a war. Do you really think Azazel would be happy if you killed one of the users of the red dragon emperor after searching for it for so long?" I say to her knowing Azazel wouldn't mind if I spoke about him.
"No I guess you are right. That make sense but what about my other question." Raynare asked me.
"Take this easy and try to not act surprised when I say this." I stop to see her nod her head. "I come from a terrible future which Trihexa has killed all but dragons. I had to see my friends and lovers get killed right in front of me." I say crying a little remembering the horror of that day. My whole body shivers as I reamember that day.
Raynare gently hugs me and puts her head on my chest as if to assure me that things will be alright. "I spent two months looking for the spell to go back. I looked all over hell then went to heaven when I found my answer in Gods chamber. But I needed to be stronger to use it. so I spent a month just on training. Back then i didn't have anything else to do so I trained my body for twelve hours a day while the other twelve where devoted to going to training with Ddraig as we fought in the boosted gear. I came back to this time to save you because you were killed in my original time line it looks like I used god's device to save a life already." I said with a smile on my face.
"Rest now Issei. You have school in the morning." Raynare says to me in a comforting way as I was drifting to sleep.
"I love you Raynare" I say before falling asleep.
"I love you too my savoir." I hear as I head off to my dream state to go speak with Ddraig.
"Ddraig do you remember the future?" I ask the big red dragon that is with me in the white room.
"Yes I do Issei. Luckily our plan worked. Your body transformed to what we did during that month of training and you have those rings." Ddraig said back to me.
"I am still amazed that it worked. We saved Raynare and conquered her heart." I tell Ddraig happily.
"Yes but now you have to deal with Akeno and her hatred for the fallen." Ddraig said.
"Oh shit I didn't think of that. I will take care of her and Riser because he should be here tomorrow. I remember his familiar outside of the occult research club room so I will lure him there tomorrow and beat him in a fight."
"Now Issei don't get too over confident in your powers now" Ddraig said smiling knowing I will win.
"But Ddraig I am technically the son of Ophis and Great Red. A simple phoenix is nothing to me. Especially one who overuses his powers like how he does. Plus I am technically your younger brother since you also contributed to my new DNA. So once again how can a mere bird triumph against me the son of the two Dragon Gods and the brother of Ddraig." I say confidently knowing that I am stroking Ddraig's big ego. "Also with our new power, we won't have to be the oppai dragon. We will be feared by our enemies as the greatest Sekiryuutei that ever existed." I say reminding him of our curse that has been broken by going back in time. Ddraig starts to tear up as he realized that those two words didn't cause him to have any problems anymore.
"Fine Issei. I expect it would be easy for you to do, but do me a favor and make it go from a fight to a slaughter." Ddraig tells me as I smiled.
"I already had that in mind," I said "I must go Ddraig, contact me whenever you want. After all, we will be with each other longer than what I will be with the girls. I mean you already have a year ahead of them."
{Scene change}
I wake up to a cute Raynare, whom I think I will call Ray from now on. I have to go back to the club room to piss off a phoenix and help Akeno out. As I walked out of the room, I whispered into ray's ear "I love you, my light Ray." Then I head off to the club room.
As I get there I approach how I did in the past trying to keep as close to the timeline as possible. "Yo, it's your favorite servant." I say as I see Rias smiling while drinking her tea.
"Hi Issei, I am surprised you are here today." Rias said. "So why did you save that fallen. I could tell that look in your eye you had a different reason other than love."
"See that bird in the window. Let's piss it off and then I will tell you everything." I whisper into her ear while pointing to the bird.
"Ok fine but I better enjoy this." She said knowing it was Risers familiar and the power she felt off Issei was stronger. I then pull her in for a hot make out session. Boy I haven't had one of these in months.
All of a sudden Riser came out of a magic circle nearby pissed off. "Who dares take what is Riser's." He says still talking in the third person.
I say to him "I do. I have rightfully claimed what was mine already as seen by my dragon mark on her neck." I say as I try to fool him with some of Natsu's mating rituals from Fairly Flair hoping to fool Riser. "She isn't someone to tool to fool around with but I will do you a favor. We wager in a fight me vs you. Winner gets Rias." I say out loud. 'Don't worry Rias this is all a part of what I have to tell you.' I tell Rias over telepathy.
'Fine, just be quick and as payment for this after you are done give me another one of those hot kisses after.' Rias said over telepathy.
'You know I will' I said as Grayfia came in and teleported us to the arena that Sirzechs put me and Raiser in my old time.
"Time to show off some of my true strength" I say entering into scale mail immediately. Then entering into my trinina, "go welsh draconic rook." I say as my armor changed for strength and protection. Luckily, I am still faster than him.
"I shall teach you not to mess with your betters!" He screams at me while punching my armor. His hand broke upon punching my armor without me punching him. "How is it that such a low devil could have such strength?" He asked while nursing his hand.
"Simple, once I learned that she had such filth as a fiancé I knew that I needed to sacrifice something important to beat you. So I gave up my humanity." I said mostly lying but the truth was that in order to come back from Samuel's curse I got the body from Red and Ophis so I could rejoin Rias and I don't feel like explaining that right now. So technically it's the truth.
"You realize now there is no going back right." Riser says realizing he can't win.
"I will do anything to protect those I love and care about and right now you are a threat to my Rias. So I shall end you now" I say after punching him in the chest as he faints. Ravel shows up and tries to stop me from hurting him further. I like her after all she was in my harem and she was a great manager.
"Ravel, I don't want to hurt you. If you ever feel lonely you can come to me. I know you. I have a secret that will you to assure you that you were one of my lovers. As a kid you used to fear your flames and that is why you are is his peerage because you needed to get used to your flames. At first you had major seizures about it. Then it started coming easier for you." I tell her one of her stories of the past so I can get her on my side.
"How do you know this?" she says a bit scared.
"Because you, yourself told me." I say as I whisper into her ear. "I am from the future and I have come to the past to fix the time stream so I don't have to see you or my other lovers die in front of me again." I say as I begin to cry as the images of their bodies comes back to me. I then feel her hug around me. She looked into my eyes as she sees what I remember. "Ok, I believe you. When do you want me to join your side again?" Ravel whispers into my ear.
"Rejoin me at the peace conference between the three factions. I will make sure that you will be safe then and there." I whisper back as I leave to rejoin Rias.
"So care to explain now?" Rias says probably ticked off that I was whispering into Ravels ear.
"Ok but you can't tell anyone." I say getting a confirming nod from Rias. ''I am from a bad future where I saw you and my other lovers killed. Well I saw everyone killed. I came back in time to save Raynare so that we can have a better chance at fighting it." I said not giving her the complete story. "I will help with your peerage as they were all my mates."
"So even Kiba was one of your mates?" Rias said while giggling.
"He was when the gender change gun was invented by a friend of mine. I need you to just trust me Rias. We will need to keep Ray a secret until a certain point in time in order to make a better future. Ok?" I asked Rias.
Her response was a tongue in my mouth confirming it was a yes. The door chooses then to open with Kiba, Koneko, and Akeno on the other side. "Ara Ara is the president making moves on Issei just because of last night?" Akeno asked.
"No, it was a simple thank you for helping me break my engagement with Riser." Rias said proudly that her pawn was able to beat him. 'I want to be your lover still Issei, just try not to get to many girls ok?' Rias tells me over telepathy.
'It was you, Akeno, Koneko, female Kiba, Rossweise, Ophis, Asia, Xenovia, Ravel, Serafall, Kuroka, and Tiamat. But then again I only come from a future where I was with you guys for nine months.' I tell her trying to remember all of the names. I added Tiamat because I need to convince her to join me when we go to get familiars.
'Good grief boy you really get the ladies. I will accept it as long as you love me.' Rias sad.
'Of course I will. I proved that by beating up Riser up earlier then what was predicted.' I tell Rias as I cut off the communication so we can join in Asia's welcome party. As we do so, I am reminded that I didn't get one but then again I ended up with all of the love I need. I thought to myself with a smile on my face as I remember my old past. Koneko looks at me and calls me a pervert like she used to.
"Well with my recent change, I am only going to be a pervert in the bedroom, my little kitten" I said it in a whisper the last part into Koneko's ear. As she heard me call her my little kitten she blushed and also wide-eyed at me knowing what she was. "We will talk after school." I said to her.
"I am going to go to class now. See you all later." I said as I leave out the door.
{Scene break}
It is after school. Today was a big fiasco because I told my two good friends (who I know will betray me) that I am not going peaking anymore because I had a girlfriend who helped me straighten my life out and that she will be transferring in before the next term to be with me. Of course I was speaking of Ray but they don't need to know that. But everyone freaked out that the perverted beast was no longer peeping. When they asked me what happened I simply told them when you get to be perverted with the one you love you tend to stop bring perverted outside of the bedroom to save those moments for the one you love. At that the girls really freaked out that I said something deep and meaningful.
I am meeting with Akeno first because of last night. I see her in the hall. "Akeno will you join me on the roof?" I ask her getting a nod from her. We climb up the stairs and as we both sat on the picnic table. I start on the touchiest subject of all of the girls.
"Akeno I know what you are and I know how it happened." I start off.
"How do you know what I have been through?" Akeno says angrily which is understandable from her view while from mine I have known her for months.
"Keep this a secret. I am from the future and trust me it is not pretty." I tell her. "As for your past you confided it to me because I was and still are up till I saw you get murdered" I started tearing up once again visualizing Akeno's death. The blood, feathers and the flesh all came to my mind. I didn't notice it but she saw it too from looking into my eyes. "I was only spared because of what I was Akeno. So I came back to the past to make sure you don't die on me ever again. I don't know what I would do if I saw it again." I say as I weep into her shoulder. Here I was trying to comfort her but now she is doing it for me instead.
"Shh it's alright Issei. I can tell by the way you spoke was the truth. Your eyes showed me that scene that you had. So, I'm going to put my trust and love into you. I heard what you said to Rias before and after Riser came, I just was scared to come out to tell you. I am willing to share you as long as you give me some love. And as for that fallen, it will take a while to get used to her." Akeno said to me. I break the hug to caress her cheek.
"Just take it one step at a time love, just accept what you are and we will take it step by step." I said then kissed her and we enjoyed a make out session as we explored each other's mouths. "I do have something for you to make my story more believable." I said pulling off one of my rings. it was a topaz stone with the name Shuri on it. "
"Is this what I think this is?" Akeno asked holding the stone while tearing up.
"Yep, within that rock is the soul of your mom, Akeno. When I was coming back in time, I thought I would get this for you. There might be a chance to get her back to the world of the living." I tell her. "Azazel might be willing to help us since he owes us in a way."
"Thank you issei." Akeno said crying while looking at the ring and holding it close to her.
"I need to go speak to Koneko now. She needs to know the truth about her sister." I said.
I found Koneko while walking to the candy shop. "Koneko, can you come with me to the park?" I ask her simply. She nods in response.
As we walk to the park, we walk in silence. We sat down underneath a tree. "Koneko how much of your sisters previous master do you know about?" I start up as kids around us are giggling and playing games. Some kids where playing tag while the others played with a Frisbee. We sat there in quietness, well that is until a Frisbee hits me in the face catching me off guard.
"I don't know anything." Koneko said sadly.
"Well here is a shocker, he was using you and your sister as test subjects. The other devils wouldn't admit that he was testing on her and declared her as a stray devil. She killed him because you were reacting badly and your sister wouldn't have it. So she killed him. I wanted you to know the truth that she didn't just go berserk she did it out of her kindness for you." I say glad I am avoiding telling her that I am from the future. "There will come a day where someone will realize why she did that and take away her label as a stray devil."
"How do you know this sempai?" Koneko asks me. I face-palm myself. I then tell her that I was from the future I once again begun to cry again as I visualized Koneko's body this time. She looked into my eyes and saw her own dead body. She like the other two accepts me and accepts the fact that I am a dragon and cannot be tamed by more than one person. "Should I tell Asia next about being from the future?" I ask Koneko as she nods.
"It wouldn't be fair to Asia-sempai if you didn't tell her too."
"Then what the hell do I tell Kiba?" I said with a hint of distress.
"Tell him that he transforms into a girl and that we have sex in the nurses office? No thank you that is one thing I don't want to tell him about." Koneko giggled at my reaction.
"Tell him after you help him with his problem." Koneko said while probably thinking how seductive I must be if I can get a boy to change genders.
"But his problem won't happen for another month." I complained as she gave me one of those stares to your soul.
"Ok then just wait. Unless you can't wait for him to be your lover again eh Issei?" Koneko said with a teasing in her voice. "Who knew that the perverted beast would bat for both teams?"
"I am only a perverted beast in the bedroom. I thought I made that clear to everyone." I said while putting my face into my hands. I feel Koneko cuddling to me with her cat ears out. She looked so cute that I feel asleep next to her.
{Scene skip}
Once I woke up, I went to check on Ray. As I went up to see her she seems to have not left the room. "Hey, Ray what's up." I ask her.
"Oh Issei it's you. I was wondering if I can move in with you. I can't stand it." Ray said.
"I will have to speak to Asia and Rias about it. Both of them are moving into my house right now so I will need to speak with them. You would have to share my bed with me is that cool?"
"Yeah why wouldn't I?" Ray said
"I just hope I don't have to see your dead body too." I whispered in her ear as I hold her in my arms. "I will see about you being 'transferred' into the school. But when Kokabiel shows up I want you to hide here in this hotel. Ok? I will bring you your homework every day. and keep the Kokabiel coming to yourself." She nods. I then kiss her as I leave to go home to where Rias and Asia are were.
"As I expected that you two moved in. Asia I need to speak to you for a second?" I say aloud.
"Sure Issei, lets head to your room." Asia said with a smile on her face. We walk up my stairs as I about to tell the last girl for now. I still have to tell Kiba and Gasper who I will try to see tomorrow over the internet. I don't want to imagine the Kiba conversation. As we walked into my room, Asia sat down at the desk as I sat on the bed.
"Asia, I saved Raynare for a reason," once again I was starting on a bad note but it seems like she doesn't care. "She will be living here so I can keep her in line."
"Issei I am happy for what she did. Otherwise I couldn't be with you for the rest of my life." Asia said causing me to tear up about the future.
"Asia that might not be too long away." I tell her hinting at the future.
"What do you mean Issei?" Asia asked me.
"Asia after I punched Raynare, I came back from the future." I said starting to really hate this talk repeating simmular lines and having bad memories come back. I should ask Ddraig if he can seal that away. "The future was terrible. I saw all of my lovers slaughtered in front of my eyes you were one of them. I came back to the past to save us all. The first step was to save her. She will cause I big difference in our life." I said remembering Asia's cold dead body I start crying. I am scared. I guess seeing the dead bodies of your lovers will do that to you. "Asia I will protect you all this time." I say as I hug her tightly.
"It's ok Issei. I noticed you said lovers. I want you to know that I am fine with that. As long as I get some love I will be fine." Asia said with a smile on her face.
"Thanks Asia, I gotta talk to my parents quickly while I am doing that can you ask Rias if she can talk Sona about getting Ray transferred as a new student?" I ask Asia.
"Yes I will Issei." Asia answered as she left for Rias's room. I leave my room to go to the living room where my parents are.
"Mom, Dad, I was wondering if my girlfriend could move in with me in my room?" I ask them. Their faces turn to pure shock to happiness. "I have always wanted a grandchild. I almost given hope on him finding a girl." My dad said.
"I take that as a yes" I say turning to see them shake their heads. I decided that this is the time to get some help. "Mom, Dad I come from the future. I have seen all of my lovers being killed in front of me and now I am traumatized. During that massacre you two were also killed. I am not a human I am a dragon. I wanted you to know in case I die that you can be proud of me even if I die mysteriously,"
What happened next felt like a moment from a picture book. My parents hugged me. They haven't hugged me in years. And those six months of panic made time go slower mentally.
"Issei we are sorry we made you feel so guilty. We realize that we never got the chance to say how proud we are of you to take the abuse you do." My mom said as my dad fallowed up.
"We really shouldn't have treated you as an outcast with your ways. Maybe if we did maybe you might be different. We used to think that your only accomplishment you might get was having a child. But now we see that you have exceeded those goals and it's not everyday someone gets to be told that their son is a dragon. No matter what Issei we love you no matter what happens."
I break down even worse. "Thanks Mom and Dad."
"Now Issei head up to your room you need your sleep" my mom said.
"Thanks mom." I said as I went upstairs to ask Rias what Sona's answer was. I see Rias in front of my door. "Hey Issei good news Raynare can start the day after tomorrow. And Oni-sama wishes us well. Grayfia told him about the fight you and Riser had. He will meet with you next month when he can get the time off." Rias said with a smile on her face. "Can I sleep with you for tonight I know Ray will be sleeping in your bed with you tomorrow so I wanted to try it with my future husband?" Rias asks with a blush.
"Sure but let's get through this year before we go husband and wife. Ok?" I say as I lie down on my back so Rias could use me as her body pillow like she always did.
We just laid there as we fell asleep. Good old memories.
Authors note. Welcome to one of my side projects. Unlike my other series I will upload this once a month because it is a side project. Still can't figure out how to make indention saved.
Authors note about the story. now in the canon story Issei was scared by Raynare. Now he is scared by seeing his lovers dead bodies. That doesn't include Tiamat and Raynare and Serafall as they are being added by Issei into his harem by changing the time stream. will Issei have negative consequences for going back in time. no because even father time was killed by Trihexa so he has no clue that he went back in time.
Now about the girls. they all see their dead bodies in Issei's eyes and they decide to believe in him. They all can tell that he is traumatized by seeing them being killed right in front of him. So rather than think he is a stalker, they see the care he has for each of them and they let him through their doors. And Raynare is in love with Issei simply due to him coming to her rescue mixed in with regret is causing her to feel this way and if you don't like it. just stop reading and ignore this story.
7/5/16 I edited in something new to make the story flow better.
