Recently, I've been reading a lot of Highschool DxD crossovers. Some of them intrigued me, some didn't. I also got a google lay gift card for christmas and I decided to buy an old movie i watched years ago, Firebreather. I have to say that i liked the newer Duncan compared to the one in the comics. I looked up firebreather and was a bit surprised that there was barely any fics for it. So, I decided to write one myself. This will follow both storylines of the firebreather movie and highschool dxd. I made Duncan the same age as Rias and Akeno mainly because it will give me an easier time with when they're in class. In case you're wondering, Duncan is taking Issei Hyoudou's place in this universe and only major characters in family matters will be there as well. Now, let's begin.
Duncan POV
My name is Duncan Xerxes Absalom Belphegor Gressil Pythius Wu Fan Cassius Draco Draconus Quetzelcoatl Gondwana Mjarl Khan Belloc-Rosenblatt Jr. I know, it's a mouthful, blame my dad for that. I guess you could say my life is that of a normal teenager, like having to deal with bullies, skin problems, puberty, and my dad is never , pretty normal… except for the fact that my skin is orange, my body is becoming scaly, and on top of that, my dad is a 300 foot fire breathing dragon.
It all started 17 years ago. It was the last day of the war between humans and the giant monsters, kaiju. To many, it was a high point in our history. But to me, it's more than just history, it's family history. While everyone was running away trying to escape, my mom was the only one to step forward. People say that her bravery is what saved Tokyo that day, saved everything. This is also the day that my mom met my dad, Belloc, king of the kaiju. We've had to move pretty much all across the world due to the problems my dad caused trying to find me. But today is a new day, and for me it means another dreadful day at a new school.
Normal POV
"Maybe i should skip. Nothing says freak like coal for lunch." Duncan said as he was currently putting on the school uniform for Kuoh Academy. He was transferred into a new school this year, which had also been an all girls school until the year prior. The uniform consisted of a black school jacket, black jeans, and a white button up shirt. He was, at the moment having trouble putting on his tie. "Grrr, stupid tie! Why do why do we need to wear a uniform again?" His mother, Margaret, came out of the kitchen with a bowl of charcoal and placed it on the table.
"You're not a freak, Duncan, just different." She went over to the fridge and poured a glass of orange juice.
"Get real mom. I eat coal. And my skin? You can call it pumpkin, you can call it tangerine, or burnt sienna, but let's face it. It's orange." He gave up with the tie and grabbed the bowl of coal.
"And "orange" you just adorable?" she giggled. "Duncan, this is a new school, not an execution. Just try to socialize, make some friends, and-"
"And stop getting into fights." He sighed as he stood up, "But they're the ones who start it! Jerks are instinctively drawn to me, like… homing pigeons!"
"Duncan, you're a 16 year old boy like every other guy in your class, and every kid has problems of their own. so if you can just get along with people and keep your temper, everything's going to be just fine."
"Message received." he said sarcastically. he grabbed his bag and lunch and proceeded out the door.
"And Duncan…" he turned around to see his mom flash him the rock on devil horns. He did the same.
"I love you too, mom."
"Actually, that time it was "rock on"." He sighed as he exited the door. He walked along the road and proceeded to kick a nearby can. He sighed as he gave it a hard kick. The can flew through the air and bounced off a mailbox and into someone's windshield, causing the car alarm to go off.
"Uh-oh." He ran as fast as he could down the road until he reached the corner until he saw something that made him stop. In front of him was a beautiful girl who was wearing the girls uniform for Kuoh academy. Duncan had seen his fair share of pretty girls in his life, but she was gorgeous. Her figure was amazing, she had soft, creamy white skin, and ample breasts, but what stood out to him the most was her scarlet red was too lost in thought to notice that she was already gone. He shook his head and proceed to school.
When the school came into view, he was amazed. The buildings where extravagant, the courtyards where massive, and what Duncan liked the most, it was crawling with girls. He sighed though, knowing most of these girls wouldn't give the time to even look at him twice. As he continued to walk, he could hear a lot of whispers being directed toward him thanks to his dragon like hearing.
"Who's that guy? I've never seen him before."
"I don't know, but he looks kinda weird."
"He has orange skin?"
"I heard he was transferred here because he was kicked out of many other schools."
"I don't know what you guys are talking about, he looks nice to me… and handsome."
On that last comment, he turned to try and see who said that but ended up walking into someone and they both fell to the ground. "Hey! You're so… so-" He got another look at who he ran into and froze. it was the girl from this morning, and he was currently on top of her. He blushed and shot up, offering a hand to her. "Um, I- uh, I'm really sorry about that. I should have been watching where i was going." She opened her eyes and he sa that they were a beautiful shade of green. She smiled and grabbed his hand and he helped her up.
"It's alright, i wasn't paying attention either. So, you like to be on top, huh?" she giggled. His orange skin turned a dark red and e was blushing like crazy. "I um, uh I -what?" She began to laugh.
"I was just joking… or was I?" She smirked as she proceeded to walk to class until she turned back to him. "By the way, my name is Rias." She gave him a wave and headed off. the bell rang nearby and he began t shake his head and head to his class.
With Rias
Her suspicions were correct, there was something off about that guy, something powerful, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"So, had fun back there?" She heard from behind, she turned to see a petite girl with black hair and glasses over her violet eyes leaning up against one of the pillars of the school. "Good day, Rias." Rias smiled at her old friend
"Good day, Sona." Her name was Sona Sitri, currently the head of student council.
"It's not like you to do something like that… Unless it was planned. I understand though, i could feel him when he stepped foot onto school grounds. His name, if I recall, is Duncan Rosenblatt, class 2-C. Same class as you."
'Rosenblatt? Where have I heard that name before...' Rias thought. "Whatever you're planning to do with him, act quickly. It won't be long until others begin to notice something off about him." Sona gave her one last look before walking off to her class.
Class 2-C
Rias had reached class on time and took her seat behind an old friend of her's, Akeno Himejima. She had long black hair tied with an orange bow into a ponytail, her eyes were a dark violet color, and she had a buxom figure. Both of them were part of Kuoh Academy's two great ladies. A lot of the boys at school sought after them for their amazing looks, but they never went out with any of them.
"My my Rias, I never expected you to be so forward, especially with a new student." Akeno whispered. "Where your suspicions about him correct though?" Rias nodded.
"There is something strange about him, it feels powerful, but it also feels untapped." She couldn't quite put her finger on it, and what was with his last name? Rosenblatt, she knew she had heard it before, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Her train of thought was broken, though, once the teacher walked in.
"Good morning class." She said.
"Good morning." they responded.
"Now, as many of you may already know, we have a new student joining us here today." The class was filled with hushed whispers.
"A new student?"
"Who could it be?"
"I wonder if it's that guy I saw earlier today."
"I hope it's a girl!"
"Now, now class. Settle down. He's recently moved here from America, so i would like you to treat him with utmost respect." Once the class had quieted down, she grabbed the student's information off her desk. "I'd like to ask the whole class to give a warm welcome to Duncan Xerxes Absalom Bel-Belphegor Gressil Pythius Wu Fan-" The class erupted with laughter as she tried to pronounce the long name until the door opened.
Uh, yeah, just "Duncan" is fine, Ms. Yamamoto." The whole class's attention was focused now on the new student. Many were shocked to say the least. He had slick blonde hair, a tall and somewhat muscular physique, and dark brown eyes. But what they were more focused on was his orange and somewhat scaly skin.
"Oh, alright Mr. Rosenblatt. You can take a seat. But before that, do any of you have questions?" When they heard his last name, many of them were shocked
"Excuse me, is your last name really Rosenblatt?" Akeno asked as she stood up. Duncan nodded. "Is your mother's name Margaret?" Again, he nodded. The class was now in an uproar.
"Whoa man, your mom was the woman who saved Tokyo?!"
"The woman who faced down Belloc?"
"Wow! Your mom really is brave!"
Duncan smiled a bit. He remembered the story's he would hear about his mom and how brave she was. Maybe they could overlook his looks with this kind of recognition.
"Alright class that's enough. Now, Mr. Rosenblatt, your seat is over there by Miss Gremory." She pointed. He turned and was a bit surprised to see the same girl from this morning waving to him. He waved back and took his seat.
After his first class, Duncan couldn't feel any happier. Many of the student's overlooked his "skin condition" and asked him a lot about his life in America. Though many of the students were nice, there were still a lot who gave him nasty looks, but they were mostly jealous guys since many of the girls began to like him. He checked his schedule for his next class and smirke at who he saw as his next teacher.
"Well well well. Looks like you're a gym teacher now, Barnes."
Gym
"Alright ladies, line up. I'm your new gym teacher. You can call me coach Barnes. Or, once you come to 'love' me "Blitz"." Coach Barnes was a tall man, with stark white hair, blue eyes and a muscular physique. He was currently wearing a Blue tracksuit and had a dodgeball in his arms
"Hey 'Blitz', I was wondering when I would run into you. Gym teacher? That's your cover? Really? You're coming down in the world since the last school." Duncan said as he approached him.
"The whole vice principal thing really cramped my style. I could anly yell at the kids. Here, i could get a lot more physical." Barnes said as he hit Duncan's stomach with a dodgeball. "Hurry up and get to your team. We're playing some dodgeball today."
As soon as Barnes blew the whistle, both teams ran for the dodgeballs. Most of Duncan's team was out within seconds of the game starting. 'Glad to see they are making this game "fair".' Duncan thought. Soon, he was the only one left standing.
"Well, would you look at that, the freak is the only one left." One of the jocks, Troy, said. "I heard that you're quite the charmer, seeing as how you have most of the girls talking about you. I even heard that You've caught the attention of one of our great ladies." He picked up some of the nearby dodgeballs. "Well guys? Why don't we teach this "casanova" a lesson?" Many of them began to cheer. Duncan smirked as he saw the clear disadvantage… for them.
"Give it your best shot." He replied. Many of them had scowl on their faces and began to open fire with the nearby dodgeballs. Duncan's reflexes kicked in and he caught two dodgeballs and used them to deflect every one that came at him. Everyone, save for Barnes, was stunned. It wasn't until Troy told his team to spread out that anyone moved. Duncan kept a watchful eye and they opened fire once again. He began to deflect every ball thrown at him back at the opposing team, knocking each of them back. Troy roared with anger and threw one more at him with all his strength. Everyone stopped completely as Duncan caught the ball aimed towards his face between the other two he already had.
"No way." Troy whispered. Duncan's team erupted with laughter as they finally had someone beat Troy. They began to cheer Duncan on. Duncan smirked at their surprised faces and began to dribble all three at the same time. The remaining members of the other team spread out leaving Troy in the middle. Troy took his stance, waiting for him to make a move. Duncan threw with all his strength at Troy but he missed as Troy jumped over the ball. Quickly, Duncan spun and launched another one at Troy's face, knocking him into the basketball fell to the ground with a grunt of pain and began to try and stand, only for two dodgeballs to land on his looked up with a dazed look to see Duncan laughing as he threw one more ball at him. Troy cowered, but the ball never came. He opened his eyes to see coach Barnes looking down on him with the dodgeball in his hands.
"Troy! Catch with your hands, not your face!" Barnes yelled at him. The entire gym roared with laughter as Duncan's team headed back to the locker rooms.
"Wow Duncan! That was amazing back there! I've never seen anyone do stuff like that before!" One of his teammates praised him.
"Yea man! Where did you learn to do stuff like that?"
Duncan shrugged, "I've had to learn to deal with bullies a lot as a kid. I just finally had enough and began to work harder." They all thanked him, but proceeded to move as they saw Troy head their way.
"Get lost losers." Troy said, they all stood by Duncan until he raised his arms, telling them to go. They left quickly, leaving Duncan surrounded by Troy's goons.
"You know what happens now?" Troy threatened. Duncan smirked as he finished tying his shoelaces.
(This is pretty much the chase scene that happened in the movie but some of the things are different, so you can just watch it if you want)
"Well, traditionally, this is where i hand you your meat. All nice and on a slab." Duncan said as Troy's goons began to chuckle. "But I pretty much promised my mom I wouldn't fight, so… later!" They dove for him but he propelled himself over them. He quickly ran to the doors to the gym and pushed them open. He ran in and threw and kicked some of the dodgeballs back at them but they dodged most of them. He picked one more up and with a look of rage on his face, he aimed it at them. They each cowered, fearing to get hit, but it never came. They looked back up to see that he faked it and was running to a nearby wall. He climbed up and jumped back to the basketball hoop and used the hoops height to get on top of the wall. He ran along the wall and jumped out into the courtyard where the girls were currently exercising. He looked back to see them running through the doors and that they were gaining on him. saw the girls running the track and proceeded to run along side them. He smirked as some of them gasped and stopped as he ran towards his coach. "Hey "Blitz"!" he laughed as his coach turned and watched him run into the main building. He proceeded to run up the stairs, only for two of the goons to block quickly leaped over the side and climbed around them and proceeded to run towards the library. He saw the nearby classroom doors open and a cart full of books being pushed out. He hopped over it and propelled himself towards a nearby banner where he swung and flew through the air grabbing a nearby pole and flinging himself to the library entrance. he quickly hopped onto the top of the bookshelves and slid down the stairs. He hopped across the tables and used one of the hanging lights to swing up to a nearby window. He smirked at the jocks and proceeded to run. Duncan made a mistake though as he ran into the cafeteria. he looked for an exit but found none. He heard the doors open behind him and to see none other than Troy standing behind him.
"You don't want to fight me." Duncan warned. Troy smirked and cracked his knuckles. "Don't worry, it's not going to be a fight. Just a beatdown." Duncan was breathing heavily and if anyone payed close attention, his eyes changed from a soft brown into that of a reptiles yellow eye. Troy cocked back his arm and was about to punch.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Duncan roared. fire began to shoot out of his mouth and covered the nearby floor. Troy cowered in fear as his eyebrows were singed.
"Oh forget this!" Troy yelled. He was quickly knocked down by a blue blur and looked up to see Barnes covering Duncan's mouth.
"Holy hello kid! Way to keep a low profile." Barnes said as he stepped on one of the nearby flames.
"He-he breathed fire! What the hell is he!?" Troy screamed.
"Get to class now, or you're expelled!" Barnes yelled. Troy let out one more scream then ran out the cafeteria. Barnes shook his head. "I don't get paid enough for this." He grabbed Duncan and proceeded out the cafeteria. Everyone in the cafeteria was gone… except for two green eyes that watched the whole thing.
In the courtyard 2 minutes ago
Rias was currently running with her class on the track. She was thinking back t what she had learned earlier. When Akeno mentioned Duncan's mother, she remembered the stories she heard when she moved to japan about a brave young woman who stood up against the most feared creatures on the planet. Her train of thought was soon broken when she heard gasps. She looked up and was shocked to see Duncan running through the field with what looked like 8 guys running after him. She smiled 'what are you up to now?' she wondered. She quickly hid from the others and proceeded to enter the main building. She was amazed as she saw Duncan free running through the school trying to escape the jocks. She tried to follow them, but eventually lost sight of them, she then heard screams from the library and ran towards the entrance and watched as Duncan leapt out of one of the windows. all of the guys who were following him except for Troy had slipped down the stairs. She quickly ran to the upper floor entrance of the cafeteria and watched as Duncan looked for an exit. She was quiet as Troy entered and she began to listen.
"You don't want to fight me." Duncan warned. Troy smirked and cracked his knuckles. "Don't worry, it's not going to be a fight. Just a beatdown." Duncan was breathing heavily and she looked into his eyes. His eyes changed from a soft brown into that of a reptiles yellow eye. Troy cocked back his arm and was about to punch. She was about to jump down and help until-
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Duncan roared. fire began to shoot out of his mouth and covered the nearby floor. Troy cowered in fear as his eyebrows were singed. She gasped and stepped back as she could feel the flames heat from such a distance. 'I knew there was something off about him!' She thought. She watched as the new gym teacher quickly knocked down Troy and put Duncan in a headlock.
"Holy hello kid! Way to keep a low profile." Barnes said as he stepped on one of the nearby flames.
"He-he breathed fire! What the hell is he!?" Troy screamed. She was confused as well. She had never heard of a power that allowed humans to breathe fire, so he must not have been ALL human.
"Get to class now, or you're expelled!" Barnes yelled. Troy let out one more scream then ran out the cafeteria. Barnes shook his head. "I don't get paid enough for this." He grabbed Duncan and proceeded out the cafeteria.
"Low profile? Looks like someone is keeping something a secret." She smiled She tred to follow them as they opened one of the school buses looked into the window, but she couldn't see anything. She gasped as she heard what sounded like plane engines coming from inside roaring to life. she backed up and saw as a high-tech mini jet flew out from the top and flew off at high speeds towards the mountains. She knew what she had to do and quickly ran off looking for Sona.
With Duncan
"Well, this doesn't look too bad." Duncan was currently being examined by one of the military's quirky doctors.
"Are you kidding me? My face looks like the Australian outback!" Duncan yelled as he was put into a cat scan.
"Huh, more like the surface of mars." Barnes said causing the doctor to laugh.
"Mars? Haha! No, it's not mar- i mean a little bit mars, but no." she laughed
"Is this it, Doc? Or should we expect other surprises?" Barnes asked. the doctor proceeded to pull up a hologram of Duncan's lungs.
"Well, obviously, Duncan's innate strength and resilience have been growing steadily since birth, but his natural fight-or-flight response created a hyper-stimulated state, which manifested itself as incendia respiro." she inquired. She looked back at the two to see their confused looks. She pushed one of the buttons and the hologram turned red as Duncan's lungs looked like they had puffed up. "It's fire breath. Yea, you have it Duncan. You'll learn to control it in time, but until then, you're just going to have to stay out of situations with, uh, potential conflict."
Duncan sighed as he stood up and moved to a nearby chair "Like high school?" he asked sarcastically. The quirky doctor began to chuckle.
"Hehe, high school. I remember high school. That place didn't work out for me."
Duncan burped and was surprised to see a little ball of fire fly out of his mouth. Barnes quickly walked the doctor to a further area and asked in a hushed tone. "What I'm asking is, when will Duncan constitute a threat?" The doctor looked surprised.
"To humanity? Duncan? No, no, he's a sweet boy. He's not a pandemic" She answered.
While they talked, Duncan was having some fun with his new ability. He let out a slow breath and a stream of fire flew through the air.
"It's only a matter of time before-" Barnes was cut off.
"Duncan." His mother sighed. Duncan turned as he saw his mother come in
"Hi, mom." He said embarrassedly.
"Who's brilliant idea was it to bring Duncan here?" She asked.
Barnes gulped. "Uh… How have you been, Margaret? It's been a while. Look, I don't like this either, but there was a little Incendia respiro incident at school and-"
"That's what we call a "Your problem". I have a legal contract with MEGTAF, stipulating my son have as normal a life as humanly possible." She argued. Duncan tried to do something with his fire breath as he blew out fire rings. He blew out one more and blew it towards Barnes' direction.
"And that's exactly what I'm doing, Margaret. Your son's a fine kid, especially for a boy without a father. I'd be happy to give you my two cents about him over… dinner sometime?" They heard a flicker of a flame above him as he saw one of Duncan's fire rings floating like a halo above him. Margaret gasped as Barnes cursed.
"Not bad, huh?" he laughed.
"Very interesting!" the doctor commented.
With Rias and Sona
"Are you sure?" Sona asked. Rias nodded.
"I'm positive. Duncan was breathing fire in the cafeteria, and it seems that our gym coach knew about it. I last saw them flying in some kind of jet to the mountains." Rias inquired.
"Do you think it could have been some sort of sacred gear?" Rias shook her head.
"Not any that i know of. And his skin, it seemed very strange. He was covered completely with scales. And his name? His name is filled with many of the kaiju's and his mother was the hero who saved Tokyo. Do you think that it has anything to do with it." Sona thought for a moment but shook her head.
"I don't really know, we'll just have to wait until he gets back." She replied.
With Duncan
After returning to the school, The principal had a meeting with Barnes, Duncan, and Troy about the "fire breathing incident. Barnes convinced the principal that it was just a gag with flash powder from fireworks. Duncan was left off with a warning since he was a new student while Troy had to clean up the mess from earlier due to his record incidents from the past. Duncan was currently walking home when he sighed and looked over the rail of a bridge overlooking a road."Ugh, at this rate, my school life is doomed to be anything but normal." He sighed and hung his head down. He stayed like that for a while until he heard footsteps coming his way. He looked up to see a girl with long black hair wearing a different school uniform looking at him.
"E-Excuse me… You're Duncan Rosenblatt, from Kuoh academy, aren't you?" In his mind, she was really pretty, but he also thought of why she would be talking to him and what school she was from. He didn't recognize the uniform.
"Yea… That's me." He replied.
"Um… Are you seeing anyone right now?" she asked.
Duncan blushed, "Uh, n-no, no one, really…"
"Terrific! U-um, would you mind… going out with me?" Duncan's jaw dropped. He must be hearing things.
"Um, could you repeat that?"
She twirled her foot on the ground and was blushing madly. "My name is Yuma Amano and for a while, I've watched you since you moved here… and… um… Duncan, I… I-I want… I want you to please be my boyfriend!" Duncan couldn't believe it. Some girl he'd never met just asked HIM of all people on a date!
"Um, sure. How does Saturday sound?" He asked. The girl jumped with joy and hugged him.
"Sounds great!" She quickly replied. She gave him her number and she ran off with glee, leaving Duncan with only one thought in his mind.
"YES!" Duncan yelled.
Well, there you have it. My first chapter. Now, I'm considering what i should do with this, making it a pairing or a harem. But i know that i will have one girl be Duncan's "Main Girl" if it does become a harem. Also, some of you may not like how i write this without honorifics. Well, that's because i suck at Japanese. I will though accept help from anyone in the comments. Oh, and if you have also read my other work HAO, I'm sorry about not posting anything in a wile and for breaking my promise. After I have uploaded this, i will work on another couple chapters that i should have given you guys weeks ago. I will also be keeping this story up to date and try to get at least a chapter a week. And i know some characters may seem OOC, but i will try and correct that soon and i will go back and edit chapters in the future
