Now time to answer some of the reviews:
mr I hate znt nobles kill em: acutally no I haven't, but I got up to volume 3 since your review and will continuing reading it as I write my fanfiction. I don't know whether you were worried about me getting information from the anime alone but fear no longer!
Dark0w1: No, God is not evil in this fanfiction. He's just tired of human defiance and even God has a breaking point for disobedience.
withdranwnmadness000: I know right? I can't believe no one wrote a crossover of these animes before. And I think you're misunderstanding. The God in the last part of the chapter 1 was the God in their world, in Angel Beats. Not the God in Highschool DxD. Although I might use that idea for another crossover of some sort, so mind if I use it? Since it was your review that gave me an idea I'll give you credit for my inspiration. XD. And lastly I mean Minato will fight his way into heaven and battle one of the seraphim. And you know this would be the equivalent of fighting Kokabiel or one of the four Maou.
This is my first fan fiction so try to go easy on me, but please point out the good and bad of my writing and please review. Criticism is welcomed but no hate.
Chapter 2: A New War
(Third Person P.O.V.)
[Guardian skill: absolute defense]
Minato said in a monotonous voice as a many small blue hexagonal shields begin covering his body and bag on his back.
Seconds later he entered what seems like a tunnel of colors. All Minato could make out were colors with various shapes and shades but nothing solid.
At the same time he felt the pressure and force of this place and felt his body being crushed to dust. As soon as Minato crossed through the portal, he knew he was in for a rough landing, and knowing his luck from the SSS, he'd get the worst of it. Every mission he'd get the hardest part of the mission, but he wasn't the first to die, that misfortunate honor was Noda's. Still though, until Otonashi came along Minato was the one who would have to face Angel (or Kanade, whichever you prefer) first and needless to say he either ran or got brutally killed. Kanade always had a grudge against him for some reason. Though due to those encounters where he faced a seemly unbeatable enemy, they enabled him to remain calm and collected in almost any situation and this one was no different.
It took a few seconds for the shields to relieve the pressure. After that Minato realized he wasn't falling… rather he was floating, though how and what he was floating over was anyone's guess.
"Well… This is certainly new", Minato stated as he looked around. More colors but nothing solid. 'Great, I can't make out anything that would give me a location so I have no idea where I am and as far as I can tell, no one else besides me is here.'
Unknown area or location, no inhabitants in view, and hostile conditions.
…. This is a recipe for disaster
He tries to balance himself but it only makes him spin around like a gyro. 'Crap, I think I might puke if I try that again'.
"Ahhhhh screw it, I'll figure something else out", Minato places his hand behind his head and takes a short nap. 'It's not like anything that lives here can detect and find me that easily'.

Somewhere else in the Dimensional Gap (third person P.O.V.)
Great Red had felt another presence enter the Dimensional gap half an hour ago. Though a forced entrance was only open for a few seconds at most and was 5 meters big at most, that fact that someone or something entered the Dimensional gap and not disappeared yet was enough reason for him to see what this presence was.
'Hmmmmm' Great Red wondered to himself, 'This presence isn't Ophis or any other Dragon. It's too weak and lacks a draconic scent. Perhaps that fool Ajuka finally decided to research the Dimensional Gap and sent some unfornate soul to gather information. But then still, it's not a Devil. Neither is it Angel or Fallen Angel. That would only leave a few possibilities; one of them being a human magician screwed up a teleportation spell and ended up here. Still, the magical energy needed to force one's way into the here was immense and no human could have that much magic reverses, let alone survive this long.'
Great Red just shook his head and proceeds to the mysterious presence. It lacked any Identify known to him and that was something considering how long he had been around. Yet at the same time it gave it a unique identity.
"But still…." He muttered and suddenly smirked and flew faster. 'Do not fail to prove your worth or the force of the Dimensional Gap won't be your only worry'.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Third person P.O.V.)
Minato's eyes shot wide open as he felt a massive presence approaching fast. He couldn't tell how far away it was, Minato would guess it would be in within seconds. Floating around this would just put him at a disadvantage. He needed to be able to move around freely and he had just the skill for it.
[Guard skill: Angel Wings]
With that, two pairs of white wings emerged from his back.
'I'm glad I was able to improve these things before coming here, at least they'll be able to stabilize myself."
These were an improved version of the pair Kanade used and when he said improved, He mostly meant these were actually used to fly and there wasn't much change on the wings themselves. Although it was hard to use since the way you way is similar to that of a bird and in order to go higher, lower or change direction, one would have to move certain feathers in a certain direction or position. Needless to say unless you use them wings as a literal extension yourself or are able to manage all those changes with monitoring the various factors for flying, these things were just decorations. And as to why he has 4 white wings, well in theory, it'd relieve stress from flying if he had more lift and in case one wing gets ripped off or something he'd still be able to fly.
But compared to what he was seeing, he might as well been a fly. Standing right before was at least a 100 meter crimson dragon with a horn on his nose.
On the outside Minato may have looked like he was apathetic and this dragon's appearance didn't' faze him at all. That was partly true. While he was a little intimated, he was mostly cursing his luck.
'DAMN IT!' , Minato mentally shouted, 'I knew something like along the lines of a giant monster would be in a place like this.'
The Dragon gazed at him, probably sizing him up, or wondering what was a human doing here…..wherever here was.
"You…. Angel, no you lack the holy power of one, what are you, why are you here and how are you not destroyed yet?", the Great Red said in a low voice
Ok he had guessed right on half of it, close enough. And he was pretty sure if he didn't answer soon he will end up as a snack for this Dragon. And normally that would have worked with any other human, however; when you're part of the AfterLife Battlefront you tend to lose fear of dyeing and this was no different.
He smirked at the Great Red as he flew up a little more to make eye contact. "Well I may have come here when the experiment went unstable", He scratched the back of my head. While it was the truth, it wasn't the whole truth but neither is it lying so he was good as long as dragon didn't figure it out.
"I can tell you're not telling me the whole story with that response." Great Red narrowed his eyes at Minato
'CRAP! He figured it out!', Minato was mentally sweating bullets and took a deep breathe, 'It's ok just go with plan B: wing it!'
"You asked me how I got here, I didn't know I need to explain the details of it. I botched up an experiment, you fill in the gaps you old geezer." He snapped back at the dragon.
"You DARE address me in such a way?" the Great Red breathed out fire from his nostrils, never before has someone shown such disrespect to him. "Either you have a death wish or simply do not know who I am."
"heh….heh,heh" Minato chuckled a bit at the way the Dragon responded. He was part of a group of HUMANS that decided to REBEl against GOD himself. The fact that a dragon, no matter how big, was trying to threaten him when he had done what most would consider suicide.
The Great Red narrowed his eyes more at boy before raising a brow to his next action.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Minato laughed so hard it started to hurt hid sides, like if he heard a really great joke.
"Have you lost your mind or did you realize who you are addressing?" Great Red was obvious confused by Minato's actions and in any other case, it would have been a bit of both. But not for him.
Minato managed to calm himself down he responded to him. "No, Dragon-san, I do not recognize you at all and I assure you my mind is still intact." He gave a smile so big the Joker would be proud as he proceeded. "And as for your first question, I'm just an idiotic human who dared to oppose God and lived to tell the tale. I do not think after fighting against the creator of the world and trying to dethrone him from Heaven, a Dragon, not matter how big or mighty would be enough to scare me off. Minato Hitori, pleased to meet you" he finished with a small bow, not of respect but more of joke.
Great Red blinked before trying to process the information this human just gave him. It was true that during the Great War all three factions used humans for their forces and continued to use them to this day. But for a human that was in a war between the three factions that survived not only the war but lived the past two thousand was impossible. Was it possible he had confused the Biblical God for one of the Mythological gods?
"And which god would that be?" Great Red, as shocking as it was, very interested this human. Though Great Red did sense he was human, he wasn't sure until Minato had confirmed he was human.
Minato had a puzzled face as he replied, "What do you mean by which god?"
Great Red was about to answer but Minato realized what he meant and frowned slightly and sighed.
"So you're telling me the Greek, Roman, Hidu, Shito, Norse, Egyptian, Chinese and Native American gods are all real?" Great Red was surprised at this as Minato seemed more annoyed then shocked by the fact that there were other gods that existed.
"There are also other lesser known gods of regional and tribal religions and the beasts and creatures of various myths." Great Red added that part and Minato simply placed his hand on his forehead as he tried to make sense of this.
Now things were beginning to make sense to Great Red. This human, Minato, had no idea he was in the Dimensional Gap, did not know of the existence of the other Gods, and is likely not a hero descendent or magician. Also the Dimensional Gap was separate of the Underworld, Heaven, Mt. Olympus, and several other places. While they all could be accessed through one way or another from earth, the Dimensional Gap was independent, like a separate reality, a gateway between realties almost.
But while it was possible to be able to cross different universes using the Dimensional Gap as a crossing point, it had never happened in the past five and a half millennia. Perhaps it had happened with Ophis but even then, unless it were a Dragon or another being of immense power, whatever appeared would have been destroyed. As such this human is the first to come and survive.
Minato, however, brought Great Red out of his thinking.

Play song: Theme of the SSS here.
(Third person P.O.V.)
"Tell me, are the other Gods just as powerful as the Biblical God", Minato turned around and looked away into the distance of the Dimensional Gap with a mixture of emotions on his face. Sorrow, Rage, Loss, Passion, Joy, but most importantly Excitement.
For the second time, Great Red was shocked. He would have expected one to be broken, angry, or scared to be ripped from their worlds and placed in a different one, but here stood a human who was intrigued by the prospect of a new world.
And greatly interested in in this human, Great Red answered him, "A god's power is based on many things most of all though, Faith. Also gods are not immortal, the older they become, the weaker their powers become. They can live many millennia before weakening. Why do you ask? This isn't just human curiosity." He brought his head level to Minato's body. "You said you fought against god, I believe it was the Biblical God you fought against and you obviously have grudge against him." Great Red snaked his head around to look at Minato's expression as he continued, "No matter how you look at it, humans aren't capable of winning a fight against any god without help from another god or deity and I sense no divine energy or anything remotely related to any other faction. In other words, you are powerless and you lost your fight against God. So what do you expec- no, what do you hope to accomplish now?"
Great Red had expected Minato back down from his question like many of his kind, to lie and say it was just curiosity, or simply stay quiet. But what he saw was nothing he expected.
Minato looked at Great Red straight in eyes with a fiery determination and great aura; no it would be better to call it a Flame of Destiny. For his eyes and aura were of someone who would change the world, would accomplish his goal no matter the cost and live to see it through. Whether it was as a great evil or a great savior had yet to be determined.
"What I hope to accomplish? I afraid you misunderstand." Minato smirked and shouted with grand declaration
"What I WILL do is to continue the fight me and my friends started. I will train, fight, and do whatever necessary to survive in order to gain enough power to fight God. Once I fight God and win, I will make him paid. He will explain why we were given such unjust lives. What did we do to warrant lives like those?" He put his arms behind his back and wrap the palm of his hand around his other hand's wrist as he finished.
"Once everything is said and done, I will make peace with myself and move on."
To say Great Red was shocked would be an understatement. A human of all creatures proclaimed he would equal and defeat The God of the Bible, Leader of the most Dominate religion and arguably the most powerful. Yet he said it with such conviction and passion Great Red couldn't help but admire this fool's errand.
The God of the Bible, the one he sought, is already dead. This has been kept secret from all but a few. Never the less, Great Red found out about it, but he would not tell the human Minato. Let him Figure it out, he has a persona of pride and Great Red feels if he tried to help him, Minato would reject his help. So determined to prove the potential of humans.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA" Great Red rose his head up and bellowed out with amusement.
"Very well, you have earned my respect Minato the human. But if you intend to walk this path you must know a few things before you begin."
One of those things definitely not being the death of God.
Minato simply raised a brow to the Dragon's laughter and nodded his head at the Dragon's offer. "Fine, but only the basic information"
"Then follow me, if you can keep up with those feathers of yours" Great Red beat his wings faster as he made for the only land in the Dimensional Gap and where he made his home. "Also you may refer to me Great Red, The Dragon of Dragons."
Minato beat his four wings as he flew side by side Great Red. "Very well, Red-san and I'm foolish enough to try and assault Heaven itself, I know I need power and the only help I will ask for and accept are two things, basic information about the world."
Great Red Nodded at this and asked, "And the second aid you wish to receive?"
Minato smirked at flew close enough to Great Red to say something inaudible in the wind, but clear enough for the Great Red to understand.
"Very well, though I do ask what you intend to do with it?"
Minato simply flew above Red and landed at the top of his horn and stated in his emotionless voice. Or so it would appear unless one was studying him closely. If one did then they would see a smallest trace of a smile, a genuine smile with excitement.
"I intend to get stronger of course.
AUTHER'S NOTE AGAIN!
Wow, ok this chapter took some work. A few things to explain, first and foremost, my evaluation of the time Great Red and Ophis have been around. all we know is that Ophis lived in Dimensional Gap before Great Red and therefore is older but nothing exact. Also that Great Red was born from the Illusions of Dreams. So I stuck him as slightly younger than the human race as to give the time needed for humans to expand and grow in numbers, thereby giving enough Dreams for Illusions to come from to form Great Red. *in case you are wondering I based it off of earliest recorded history, if you feel Great Red should be older or younger let me know.
Second thing: the power of gods. As stated in the story Faith and Recognition will play as a source of a gods and goddesses power. Faith is as it sounds, the more people believe and/or pray to a certain god or goddess the more powerful they become and vice versa. Recognition is a bit different. There are many unheard myths and ancient religions, so as long as people hear it and spread it, a god's and/or goddess's power won't diminish. Since the three major religions is Judaism, Christianity, and Islam I decided to make them all connected to the three Bible factions and therefore all three religions worshiping the same God and increasing his power a lot by having more than two thirds of the religious population to believe and worship him. The reason being is that it is said that Abraham (Abram being his original name) had a son before Isaac. His first son Ishmael, long story short, became the ancestor of the Arab tribes and was the forefather first prophet and patriarch of Islam. Personally I don't understand all the hostilities between these three religions. They all are connected in one way or another to each and are descendants of Abram and worship the same God Abram did.
*sorry if my view differs from yours but we all have different opinion and I'm sorry if I I'm ranting about my views here.
Third and final: Minato himself. Minato already knows and accepts the fact that he's no longer in the world he once knew. Now that he knows God does exist and that he's the most powerful (in my interpretation) of all the gods/goddesses. As you will see Minato wants to defeat God as a human but that does not mean he won't use other faction's weapons, spells, abilities, etc., and he doesn't want to be freely given power, he wants to earn it. *coughs* complete opposite of some main characters *coughs*
And I'd like to remind people that this is my first fanfiction and I'm sorry if I'm not doing things very well.
Well until next time sayounara AND DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW AND FOLLOW!
