I do not own the rights to Bastion and Highschool DxD. Critique and suggestions are welcomed with open arms while flamers are kicked out with extreme hate. Also if anyone wants to be my beta then you can just ask. Anyway, let's get this shown on the road.

-This is Commander of the third division Slinger Jawson here. You say that we humans are nothing but vermin, pests to eradicate so that the so called higher race may ascend. What you forgot is that we are still here after 20 years of war and that we have made you pay a heavy price for each life and victory you took. I myself have personally sent over a thousand of your accursed kin to the afterlife. Now I stand here to show you once again what we humans can do!

Chapter 1: The change

"I wonder what happened to him."

"Who cares since it did some good to him."

"What's the idea behind the white hair?"

These were one of the many discussions about the same thing. Why did Issei Hyoudou change so suddenly? No one, not even his best friends Matsuda and Motohama knew what caused his strange change of personality. Before he had what many called a huge good for nothing pervert. Then about a month ago, his hair changed from brown to white and he became a quiet antisocialist who spoke when it was necessary. His grades had also turned from low to mid. So it was no wonder that almost everyone in Kouh Academy was discussing about him.

The person of topic however was eating a sandwich under the shade of a tree. 'To think I would attend school again, reminds me of home. I wonder what they would think all this.' Slowly an old man with white hair and moustache appeared in his mind. He was wearing navy blue coat, worn brown boots and a pair of fingerless gloves. His face lined with age but the bright fire in his eyes showed that even after being so old, the man was still sharper then a brusher's pike. When he spoke his voice was gruff and world weary but also comforting.

"Hard to imagine you going back to school kid. You were always the adventurous type. The ones who just couldn't sit down." he said while chuckling a little.

Yep, that would be the reaction from the old timer. Next was a young man with pale white skin, black hair and eyes. He wore brown boots, a blazer with multi colored stripes, a short skirt, and baggy pants with the same design as the blazer. Thick leather bound book hang from a belt around his waist. He had an amused look in his handsome face as he said"

"I thought you said you were done with things like school. Don't worry; I got your back since I would also want to learn what they teach here."A scholar to the core, he was always hungry for knowledge.

Last was a girl around his age with the same facial features. She wore a blue jacket, multi colored skirt, black pants with matching black boots. A blue cloth was tied on her head. Her face was like that of angels. She looked at him with eyes that held care, passion and love. Her voice was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard in his entire life.

"So, the big dummy wanted to look more grown up? You know that no matter what you do, you will always be the caring, clumsy kid who almost drowned while trying to save me."Sadness and loss filled him at this point. But it was expected since to him, it was only a month since it happened. Now that he thought about it, he hadn't thought of his friends since he awoke.

Then a feminine voice said "Hey, are you okay?"

Shit, he had let his guard slip when deep in thought. Quickly turning around he saw a girl wearing the school uniform standing next to the tree on which he was leaning on. Her waste long black hair a little in the breeze as her violet eyes held concern and something else he couldn't recognize.

Taking a deep breath, Issei said "I am fine. I just remembered something sad."

She looked at him questionably. "Well, I am Yuuma hear something that will lighten your mood? Would you go out with me?"

He thought for a moment before answering"Sure."

. . .

After school was over they when for their date. It was the most awkward date he ever had. It wasn't because of the girl since she was good looking but all of it reminded him of his life before this. This was something he had being trying to avoid because he knew she would be upset if he just kept living in his past, never looking forward. The other thing was that he kept feeling that something was off. He didn't know what but something just felt wrong.

The last place for their date was a park. It was sundown so the path was shadowed making things a bit difficult to see, not to mention the lamp posts were pretty far in between.

When they reached the middle of the park, Yuuma stopped walking. This part of the park was darker then the rest and was the least walked on. "Can I ask you a favor?"

Then without a warning, something hit him into a nearby tree with enough force to leave cracks on it. The blow felt like he had been caught bewteen hammer and an anvil. He knew two of his ribs were shattered with some internal bleeding. Blood dripped from his mouth. Still dizzy and breathless from the hit he got to his feet, gritting his teeth in pain. Quickly scanning the area he saw a something all to familiar to him. Floating a few feet away was what looked similar to Disneys ghosts. The ones with tails except this was solid, blue and heavily armoured. Heavy plate cuirass, thick metal shoulder pads and an armoured hands made it a fearsome sight indeed. Menacing blue orbs stared at him behind the eyehole on the bucket shaped helmet.

"I wonder how you hid from us for so long. It's being a loooong time since your kind had gone faded away. But now all I care is that I am going to enjoy killing you. Hahhahahahahahhaha!" The voice was like stone rubbing against stone.

The only response it got was a grim look. This gasfella had messed with the wrong trapper.

First chapter done. Yeahhh. Now if there are any mistakes and spelling errors then that would be because I am writing this on an android. I will fix them later once I get my pc fixed. Last but not he least, thanks for reading.
