It began late at night, the sun was slowly setting and the weather was clear. The wind blew across the forest, making some of the leaves fly away with the movement of the tree branches. But deep in this forest, far from everyone and everything stood a lonesome structure made of concrete that looked like a laboratory. Inside this structure were a lot of sophisticated machines, scientists and a strange coffin-like structure made of metal with glass on top so you could see what's inside.
"Heartbeat rate is steady, breath is slow and brain function at the lowest rate possible thanks to the drug. The subject is fully okay Sir Arstaal!" said one of the scientists to a tall man. This person was bald with a furry brown mustache and wore black dress shoes, dress pants, and a black shirt. He had pale skin and green eyes that glowed a little with the lack of light inside the room.
"Tell me more about the vessel. He's still young right?"
"Yes, sir. He is 20 years old and was taken from a normal human family three years ago in the nearest town. It seems he has a strong will as well a strong body, just the type of body the larva will easily develop into without crushing it. We killed both his parents in a car accident after they came back from his first day at high-school and took him here in hopes to tame him. We ran tests on him for the first year, proving that is body would be able to hold the training. Then we trained him and finally put him in the capsule. We used an A class amnesic potion, so he should not remember his training. He has been in this capsule for more than a month and his body has finally transformed into a suitable host for the Baoh."
"Perfect! With this creature, Sir Kokabiel will be able to restart this war! We'll fight! We'll win!" said Arstall to his team of brains. But has he was laughing, a woman scientist looked at him with the corner of her eyes.
'It's horrible…' she thought to herself. 'I shouldn't have worked with them. I must do something to make amend. I have to free him!" She finished and started to walk to one of the computers. 'I won't let them do it… Even if it cost me my life, he will not become their toy!' Full of determination, she pressed one of the buttons on the computer. Soon after an alarm ringed and a red light started to shine in the whole lab. All the scientists started to panic and move to the computers; trying to figure out what was going on.
"What is happening? Why is the water pressure dropping?" asked the head scientist "Who pushed the locking button mechanism? Shut it down!"
"Sir! The pressure is dropping too quickly! He's about to awake!" yelled a scientist. "I'll call the security!" yelled another. As all the scientist were trying to keep what was inside the metal coffin asleep, the woman tried to flee discreetly but was stopped by Arstall, who materialized what seemed to be a spear made of light.
"So you're the traitor. I should have known…now died insect!" As soon as he finished his sentence, he moved his spear forward and impaled the woman in the stomach. She started to cough blood before the fallen angel let her fall on the ground, bleeding to death.
"Sir Arstall! Please help us! He's starting to awake!" yelled one of the scientists as they were trying to force the upper part of the metal capsule down. Arstall moved to it and used his enhanced strength to help the scientists, but as he watched the glasses that showed the inside of the coffin, Arstall saw something that he didn't think he would see.
He saw a human hand, forcing the cover-up.
Even with Arstall and all the scientists, it was still too hard to hold the coffin together. 'how strong is this creature?' thought the fallen angel, before the coffin burst open, pushing all the scientists and Arstall to the side. Slowly the one that was imprisoned rose from his sleep, his brown hairs falling on his face and the water dripping on his chiseled chest.
This creature was nearly 2 meters tall, had a chiseled body with no signs of fat at all. He was bare naked with medical equipment all over him.
Taking off the mask that was measuring his breath and walking out of his coffin, the creature slowly walked to exit, but Arstall stood up and thrown a spear of light to the creature. "Die!" screamed the fallen angel as the spear impaled the human in the head and sent him to the ground.
Arstall chuckled and turned to the scientists "That's all? Was that thing supposed to bring victory to the great Kokabiel?" but as he finished his sentence something strange happened.
He heard heartbeats. Slow, yet powerful enough to be heard heartbeats. The creature slowly stood up and as it was rising, its human body started to change. First his white skin turned blue and crackled, his hair turned blue and black with some bands of purple, his nails turned into claws, his eyes turned pure yellow and finally, a red gem appeared on his forehead.
"It's… It's him!" screamed the head scientist. "The most powerful weapon! The war phenomenon! Baoh !" As the Baoh finished transforming, 10 armed men entered the room and aimed for the baoh, ready to open fire as soon as possible. But much to their surprise, the creature stayed still and look at all the people that were in front of him.
"Shoot him down! If we can't control it, then no one else will!" Yelled Arstall as he prepared another spear of light and thrown it to the Baoh, signaling to the other units to open fire. Bullets flew to the baoh, but all of them were crushed on his skin and the light spear shattered on his chest.
"It's no use! His skin is made to be as tough as dragon scales, conventional weapon won't work! We have to aim for the head!"
But as the soldiers tried to reload their weapons, the Baoh rushed to them and started to fight back. He started by punching one of the soldiers in the wall so hard that his head busted from the impact. After this, the Baoh jumped to two other guards and tackled them to the ground before smashing their head against the other, killing two birds in one stone. The seven last guards started to shoot him again, but Baoh started to emit what looked like an electric aura and pointed his finger at the guards. At that precise moment, electricity busted from his finger, shocking the guards to death.
The smell of fried flesh filled the room as the scientists tried to find an exit, but the Baoh wasn't letting any of them run away. The sound of bone-crushing, flesh reaping and screams filled the room. Only Arstall remained, terrified and alone against a monstrosity, he tried to lunch several spears at the Baoh while screaming.
"Die! Die you monster!" but his spears were made to hastily and all they did was to lightly wound the baoh, not stopping him. Deciding he had enough, the Baoh rushed forward and slammed his fist through the fallen angel chest, reaping his heart off and crushing it in his bare hands. It was done. He was the last one standing in the building, even if he had multiple wounds all other his body, thanks' to the light spears. Well, at least he thought he was alone before he heard a feminine voice that sounded likes a whisper.
"B-Baoh….come here…" The Baoh, intrigued by this call, rushed to the origin of this voice and founded the woman that was pierced by Arstall moments before. She lost lots of blood and was on the verge of dying, but she still founded the strength to smile.
"I'm…sorry. It's my fault that you're not human anymore… I should have tried to save you before…" She handed him a piece of paper. A map.
"There is a city after this forest. Go and live your life freely Issei. Yes. You are Issei...don't…forget …it…" She then fell lifeless with a smile on the cold floor in a puddle of blood. Since all hostiles were killed, Baoh started to revert back into his human form, his skin became white again, the gem disappeared from his forehead and his hair turned brown again. He also fell on the ground, too tired to even move. He just wanted to rest, because even he was hard to destroy, he still needed to heal from those wounds.
'Issei… Is that who I am? I don't remember… for now, I'll just sleep…' He tough as he fell asleep, still naked and covered in blood.
After a kick nap, Issei saw that he had regenerated and was now perfectly fine. He looked at the woman again and put her lab-coat on her face, making the closest thing he could to a shroud. Even if he didn't know her at all, he was free thanks to her. He then looked at the map she handed to him before she died. He needed to go to this city, he didn't know why but he had to. After some research in the medium size lab, he founded pants that seemed to belong to one of the scientists, a black one. He also founded a black t-shirt that was too tight for him, but it was still the largest he founded. With new clothes on, he headed to the city to was just after the forest. If the map was correct, he would have to walk quite a long way, but he didn't care. He just wanted to go away from this lab.
Kuoh, Japan, the day after.
Kuoh was a small town near Tokyo, in Japan. Even while being small, this town was still as lively as others, and people were nice to one another. But Kuoh is not famous for being lively and a rather good place to live; this town was famous for one thing: Her academy.
Yes, Kuoh academy was well-known by citizens of other towns nearby and even peoples from other cities. This academy, that was an all-girl school before turning co-ed a few years ago, had very skilled teachers, a good dorm, and finally good equipment for students to learn in the best way possible. To sum this, this academy tried to always be on top, which worked out really well and brought more people to Kuoh city. But, for this academy only turned co-ed recently, the female population was way higher than the male one.
This fact made that most of the boys were here either to find a girlfriend or try to build a harem. Yes, most of the males in this academy were perverts that rather wanted to ogle hot chicks than to study. And it was hard to blame them, girls in Kuoh academy were usually sexy, so it was hard for the boys to contain their hormones. It was here that Rias Gremory, a 17 years old young lady, lived.
She was a buxom teen, with a large bust, slim waist, and a large bottom. She also had a beautiful face and a perfect cream-colored skin, but her most appearing features were her crimson red hair that went to her ankles and her blue-green eyes that seemed to hypnotize everyone that looked in them. She was 172cm tall (5 feet 8) and had long slender legs that had points to hear sex-appeal. That's why she was called "goddess" by her fellow classmates. That always made her giggled because she was far from a goddess, in fact, she was the complete opposite. She was a demon, a pure-blooded demon princess from the Gremory family, a noble family of the underworld.
As always, Rias was heading home after a long day at school. She was tired and couldn't understand how some humans could like classes that much. It was starting to get dark but the redhead wasn't afraid, she was stronger than any human with her demonic strength. She could fight for herself and win without a scratch even without using magic. And, speaking of the devil, a human teenager around her age appeared and called to her. He was taller than the princess, probably 180 cm tall (5 feet 10), had normal physics and dirty blonde hairs.
"Yo girl, what'cha doing here alone? It's dangerous for high schoolers this late." said the teens, which annoyed Rias. Why did she ALWAYS stumbled on this kind of teen who thinks that the world revolves around them?
"I know it and am fully capable of defending myself, so please step aside." Said Rias in an annoyed tone, but the boy didn't move a bit.
"What? Girl thinks she can 'protect herself'! Do you really think so? I really think you should come with me!" he answered while moving closer to Rias.
"Step aside, now." Ordered Rias, clearly annoyed.
"Don't order me around bitch. I ain't your fucking toy. Girls like you should just do what they are told to and shut the fuck up." Responded to the teen. He moved closer to the redhead and grabbed her chin. "I'm going to make you feel really good, the time of your life. So be a good girl and follow me, that's all you have to do. I bet this body feels really good, especially those cow tits." He finished with a perverted grin on his face. Rias looked at him straight in the eyes, took his hand off her chin and responded with a firm voice
"No, now go away before I start to fight back."
The teen looked at her, then laughed. After a few seconds, he said, between laughter: "You really think a bitch could fight ME and win? You could not even beat me if I had my hands tied!" He raised his fist, preparing a punch "I didn't want to do this, but you forced me to." He armed his fist and started to do the motion, aiming for Rias head.
She was ready for the hit. After all, with her resistance, she would feel nothing from this punch. But much to her surprise, it never reached her. His fist was stopped in mid-motion but another hand that held his forearm. Rather, surprised, Rias moved her gaze up the arm of the new person.
The new person, another teenager, was tall. Rias was impressed by his size. He was nearly 2 meters (6 feet 6) tall! Going from the bottom up, the devil saw that all he wore was a black dress pant, neither shoes nor socks. His pants were covered in dirt and torn at some points. It seemed used and tore, there was even blood on it. She moved her gaze up and noticed that he had a too tight shirt on, showing his chiseled chest. His muscle wasn't as showing as other bodybuilders, but his muscles weren't just for show, they were packed with power. It seemed like he could move a mountain without breaking a sweat! After glancing at his chest and feeling her cheeks heat-up, the princess shifted her gaze to the face of this boy. He had mid-long hair with spiky ends and some bangs covering his forehead. He had a handsome face, with chocolate brown eyes that matched his hair. Rias couldn't help but feel excited by his body, she was a creature of sin after all.
"What'cha want, exhib-boy? Wanna play the hero? Wanna save the bitch and get her ass?" asked the one that was about to punch Rias.
"Yes, I want to protect her. But I'll not only save her. I'll save all the girls in this city from you." Replied the brown haired teen in a calm yet firm voice.
"Don't screw with me, it's not because you're taller than me that I'll go down easily! She's mine!" After this, he tried to break free from the hand of the brown haired teen, but it didn't matter how hard he tried, he was not able to. 'What's with his strength?' he thought as he still tried to break free.
"Useless. Now fall." Said the teen, before kneeing the other in the stomach. The blonde haired teen gasped before violently falling to the ground, passed out. Rias looked at her savior. All it took him was one hit. One hit and this guy was already passed out. 'How strong is he?' She was surprised to feel her cheeks heat up again. She had to admit that he was kinda hot, protecting her like that. But something was bizarre with this boy. He didn't smell like a human. There was something else.
"…iss? Miss? Are you okay ?" She came back to hearth when she heard the boy call to her. She was too focused on his smell to understand he was talking to her!
"Y-yes? What was it?" she asked, for she didn't hear the first part of his sentence.
"I was asking you if you were alright. You seemed to be spacing out for second…" He told her, his voice becoming calm and worried.
"Y-yes. I'm fine thanks' to you" A little lie, she could have done it alone, but she had to keep appearances.
"I don't know what I would have done without you. How may I thank you ?"
"Well…" he started off, hesitating on what he should ask. But after a little time, his stomach roared, signaling that he was hungry. He blushed a little at this, which made Rias giggle.
"I guess that you would like to eat something?" he nodded his head in approval. "Well, come with me. there is a good restaurant close by. I will buy you food as a token of my gratitude."
"I wouldn't want to force your kindness… I'll just-"
"Don't worry, I'm not forcing myself. I just can't let you go like this after you saved me, or I would be a horrible person." She smiled sweetly at him. This time it wasn't a lie. She wanted to thank him, even if he didn't do much.
"I get it. Then I'll accept miss…" he couldn't finish his sentence for he didn't ask her name.
"Ho! Silly me! I'm Rias Gremory, a third year in Kuoh Academy. And you are?"
"Issei. Just Issei. I don't remember anything else."
