Rias Pov
My name is Rias Gremory, next heir to the high class devil clan of Gremory. But right now I think that my life is about to end.
By the hands of one of the most powerful beings to have survived the Great War, as well as being one of leaders for the fallen angel faction, Kokabiel. Why you ask? Well he is a warmonger whom wishes to begin yet another war between the three main factions.
As such, he's willing to destroy Kuoh town, of which has been entrusted to my care. Though it's a small place in the country of Japan, each of my trusted servants live here. Yet we're all fighting for not only for out own, but the town's survival. However, we're not along, an exorcist by the name of Xenovia Quarta, was dispatched by the church to help with the holy sword [Durandal]. Yet it still became utterly pointless in the face of such a powerful foe.
We're all at the end of the line it seems.
My trusted queen Akeno Himejima, whom I found on borders of my family's territory. Koneko Toujou, my beloved rook who my brother saved and entrusted me to take care of. My shy, yet brave bishop Gasper Vladi, who had been exiled by his own family for being different. My other, gentle bishop Asia Argento, whom I rescued after she was thrown away from the church for helping a devil. Then finally, my strong knight, Yuuto Kiba, a sole survivor of the Holy Sword Project.
The man known as Valper Galilei, or the 'Genocide Archbishop', was the one who conducted the experiments on Yuuto and had been revealed to be an accomplice of Kokabiel's. But while the chain of events that took place after this unveiling had allowed Yuuko to achieve his Balance Breaker [Sword Birth], it still proved useless.
I was to arrogant. I thought that with so much strength from each of my servants and a member of the church, that we could win. But I was wrong, so very wrong.
Yet...how? How could I have thought that we, a household of a mere 6 devils, and a human that wielded the power a holy sword could win against an original fallen angel?
I'm so sorry dear family, I failed. But if there was one thing I would truly regret from my life, it would be the fact that I was never able to experience true love. Though in the middle of my lamenting, I never noticed the large stream of red energy coming down from the sky. Yet what I did take note of was the sudden voice that spoke up, it being warm and full of confidence.
Normal Pov
"It is time to die Rias Gremory! You're death will be a new stepping stone for my grand ambi-" Kokabiel began, but his words were stopped short as the confident voice suddenly echoed all around them.
"I don't think so. No one will be dying here."
And with those words the enormous barrier surrounding the whole Academy shattered into tiny pieces. Though after this occurred, a stream of red light came down from the sky and hit the ground. Upon landing the light soon disappeared, yet in its place stood a person clad in red armor. But the more eye catching parts were the glowing green gems on various areas across the armor itself.
Kokabiel's eyes soon widened in surprised along with each of the devils and even Xenovia's. Yet while the fallen angel seemed more nervous than anything, the others appeared rather thankful to this new arrival.
"Welsh Dragon! Why are you here?!" Kokabiel demanded loudly as his eyes narrowed heavily on the armor covered person.
"Welsh ... Dragon ...?" Rias echoed silently as her eyes widened in even greater surprised, to which she watched the 'dragon' come closer to the fallen angel.
"Yo, old man. It's been quite a while." the armored being said with a somewhat passive tone as if nothing going on around him was a big deal.
"Why did you came here? This is none business of Sekiryutei!" Kokabiel stated as he pointed a finger at the person before him.
"Well, it became my business when old man Azazel gave me the order to bring you in." the Welsh Dragon said as he took one last step forward.
"Now then...we can either do this the easy way..." he continued on as he hit an armored fist into his open hand; "...or the hard way."
At these words, the fallen angel glared heavily on his new opponent before flapped his wings strongly and flew into the air. "Don make me laugh!" he started as he brought his arms up.
"As if a worm like you could hurt someone like me!" he called out in a confident, yet rather arrogant tone as a large spear of light formed in his hands.
"Take this! You lowly dragon piece of garbage!" Kokabiel finished before he threw his spear after it reached such enormous size that dodging at this point became useless.
"Hard way it is then." was all Sekiryutei muttered before he moved his body into a fighting stance and watched the slow moving spear come down toward him.
The attack itself moving quite sluggish due to the massive amount of power poured inside of it.
"You think that you can survive my attack?!" the fallen angel yelled as his eyes narrowed, yet there was a bit of nervousness in his tone.
"You dare mock me?!"
"Then take it and die! You lower life form!" he finished loudly, his voice still holding a bit of worry.
But the Welsh Dragon still did not move a muscle, save for just before the spear's impact. Him pulling a fist back as another, yet somewhat gruff voice echoed out a single word.
[Boost!]
Immediately following this, Sekiryutei swung his fist forward and collided with the gigantic spear. Though upon doing so, said attack instantly shattered apart as if it were merely made of glass, to which the remnants of magic soon disappeared. This surprising everyone watching as it left them all completely speechless for a few moments.
Only Kokabiel managing to say something, but it was merely to project his disbelief; "But...that's impossible."
"I am Sekiryutei, Draig. One of my sacred gear, the [Boosted Gear] abilites is to double my own power every 10 seconds." the Welsh Dragon said with a voice of confidence.
"Whatever you throw at me...I'll send it right back at you, in double quantity." he continued, to which he suddenly seemed appear mere millimeters in front of the fallen angel.
"You over stepped your boundaries shity old man, now go to sleep." he finished with a silent tone before the voice echoed out once more.
[Boost!]
With this being said, a flashing blur of the Welsh Dragon's fist hit Kokabiel's stomach and knocked him out instantly. This leading for him to drop right to the ground with a thud, to which Sekiryutei merely stepped to the side and shifted his armored head toward the unconscious rogue exorcist, Freed.
"I'll be taking that priest over there as well. Azazel has some questions for him, so I'll be needing him too." Sekiryutei stated to the devils to the side as they just stared at him.
Though his words broke them out of their daze, to which they turned toward Freed as well and narrowed their eyes. Him having been defeated by Yuuto and Xenovia, despite wielding a reconstructed, yet fake Excalibur. But the weapon itself still held very impressive power that proved to be a bit of a challenge, even for Yuuto's newly attained Balance Brake.
Yet before they knew it, the rogue priest soon vanished in a flash of red before their eyes, to which they quickly turned back to the Welsh Dragon as he had both Freed and Kokabiel in his arms. Sekiryutei then tilted his head up and bent his armored knees slightly as if to prepare to fly. Yet just before he could push off the ground, one of the few devils near of him spoke to him.
"Wait!" was the female voice he heard, causing him to pause and turn toward the one who called out to him.
Who he saw was enough to make any man or woman skip a heart beat in response.
She was a beautiful women wearing a uniform that belonged to the school they were currently standing next to. Bedside the few bruises and scratches she attained from the fight, she still looked utterly stunning. Though she also had an amazing aura about her, which all but radiated grace and nobility. But what caught his eye the most was her figure. Such a small perfect waist, magnificent curves for her butt and breasts that rivaled any fallen angel women that he ever met.
However, the most stunning part of her was the color of her hair. It was a pure crimson that made him thing that she was truly the most gorgeous women he met in his life. But as she had continued speaking, it snapped him out a daze that he didn't realize he was in.
"Why did you help us?" she questioned with a hint of respect toward him and the power she has seen him wield.
"If you must know...I have four reasons to help you, Rias Gremory." he said with a neutral sounding tone, though it didn't prevent the brief surprise of the red-headed girl at him knowing her name.
"One: It was an order."
"Two: I don't like Kokabiel...war is all this guys talks about. Have you ever tried to hold a normal conversation with this around? It's impossible."
"Three: I care for this town to a degree."
"And lastly, but most importantly..." he continued silently as he paused for a moment, to which each of the others all but inched forward in expectation to what he'd say next.
"...I couldn't live with myself to let someone as beautiful and brave as you to die by hands of this scum, while protecting this town." was his finishing words as his very tone sounded as though he were giving a 'charming smile' to her.
Immediately following these words the young heiress soon produced a new and previously unknown reaction: a deep blush, going from ear to ear. Her rush of blood quickly stopped however when the Welsh Dragon started moving away from her. "I best be going." was all he said as he jumped lightly into the air and hovered for a moment.
"Wait! Who are you?!" Rias called out as she took a few quick steps forward as the armored dragon started flying higher and higher.
"The name is Draig, and we will meet again, Rias Gremory!" he called back to her before flying off into the sky before disappearing completely.
Though after a few moments of just staring at the sky, each of the devils and the church's exorcist turned away as Rias' childhood friend, Sona Sitiri appeared. Along with her, many of her own servants followed close behind, all of whom had been keeping the barrier up before it was destroyed. But due to them being part of the school's student counsel, Sona had her friend and her servants help in the rebuilding of the school.
Despite taking over an hour to reconstruct everything that had been damaged, Rias still decided on walking home. Her having too many thoughts in her mind to go to sleep right away as she eventually made it home. Though while thinking about the Welsh Dragon she just met, she slowly began to drift off to sleep. However, when she recalled Sekiryutei's last words, she soon regained the deep red blush on her face.
'Sekiryutei, Draig... huh?'
Okay, so there you go. The first real chapter of this story. I think it's good, and sorry...but I won't give much information in the first chapters. For the next few chapters, we'll go with only interaction between Issei and Rias. After that, Issei will start interacting with others. But seriously, I need a beta reader that will point some errors in my writing. So if anyone with experience would like to help, contact me by PM or leave me a review saying so. And I can understand that some of you wonder why I start with Kokabiel attacking Kuoh, but I changed the time line a little. So don't worry, I will try to put everything that is in LN on here (I mean the things that happen). The thing I want to make clear most of all is that I will NOT go in to the three faction conference right away. Though I will let you guys see that in time, so follow, favor and PLEASE review this story and tell me what you like and dislike about my style and writing. I appreciate a harsh truth, but please don't be an **hole, okay? So see you next time. Oh...and I will update this and next week with at least 2 chapters, after of which I will be away on vacation and writing chapters. So in August, I will update.
