Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this cluster fuck of a series, they belong to whoever the hell is the owner of the series. Blah, blah, blah, let's get to the AN then the story already.
Not sure what I want to rant on about before we start this chapter. But yeah this Ise is ruthless and if you cross him or piss him off he will not hesitate to destroy you. Along with causing a shit ton of collateral damage.
Reception for the story seems to be going pretty well. But damn I did some more research on what Logic Manipulation is capable of… Good luck any idiot that tries to fight this Issei. I decided to start at Volume 4 a few days before the three factions meeting and unless I'm mistaken is after everyone meets Gasper. I'm also certain volume 3 occurred less than a few weeks before volume 4.
This chapter is mostly introductions and a small 'fight'. The story itself won't kick off till the next chapter. Huh I wasn't expecting to get this done for another week. By the way you should so listen to the curb stomp song during the fight lol.
So I decided to have Karasuba join him as a traveling companion when I get to Sekirei. I have the scene on how he wings her just in my head right now, a little spoiler it's not going to end well for Ise.
Here's her power grid for those stat whores like myself by the way this was very damn hard to make. Theses stats are actually pretty helpful in writing fight scenes.
Karasuba 04
Intelligence-2 As far as I know she hasn't shown anything but an average level of Intelligence
Strength-4 She was able to split a battleship in half with the shock-wave from her sword
Speed -4? She is able to dodge machine gun bullets with ease. Not sure how fast she can go though.
Durability -3? She at the very least has above human durability
Energy Projection 1- I'm pretty sure I have not seen her throw around energy blast in any fight.
Fighting Ability 5- She is shown to be at the very least a master in sword combat with her Katana. This rank is possibly higher.
You'll notice that Kiba does not quite like this Ise very much. Main reason is he just feels that something is off about him and the way Ise tends to act in a fight against someone he knows is weaker reminds Kiba of Kokabiel. The Gremory group at first doesn't care much about Ise but after that the little spar between Kiba and him let's just say they are now very wary of him.
Life 1- That Incredibly awkward moment then the curb stomp
The scene inside the occult research club located at Kuoh Academy was at the moment tense to say the very least. It was only a few days before the meeting between the three factions consisting of the forces of the underworld, heaven's forces, and the fallen angels. The meeting was going to be a peace treaty ending all disputes against the three to prevent the outbreak of another great war. The treaty signing would involve all the leaders of the factions and they would do so at Kuoh Academy. With all the leaders meeting there security had to be tightened as it was a perfect chance for either terrorist or other factions to attack and assassinate the leaders of the largest faction in the world.
Now one would ask what exactly is so important about Kuoh Academy normally just a fairly ordinary high school on the outside? Well to be simple the place is a hot spot for supernatural activity if you look closer to what is going on behind the scenes. The school had not only the Red Dragon Emperor attending it but the Gremory princess. Along with several other ridiculous people attending the holy demonic sword user, the wielder of Durandal and the time stopping Dhamphir who also likes to cross dress apparently, to name a few of them.
So to say that danger attracts toward the two would be like saying Dolphins aren't rapist assholes. The author would like to take a minute to apologize to any dolphin lovers but you know it to be true. With all the events occurring since the Red Dragon Emperor 'awakened' it was no wonder the academy was considered in a way 'iconic' to the three factions. Considering the location of the academy was the place of another great war nearly breaking out
Less than several weeks earlier one of the leaders of the fallen angels, Kokabiel, a colossal racist asshole who strongly believed that fallen angels are the strongest and deserved to be on top. He had not only stolen three of the seven Excalibur but planned on starting a war between the other factions by killing the exorcist the church sent to retrieve the pieces along with killing the Gremory princess. An act that would have caused total war between the groups, thankfully though with the intervention of the Gremory group and the White Dragon Emperor he was stopped before the shit completely hit the fan.
A war between the groups would be disastrous to say the least and it would be unknown who would be the victors between them. But one thing is absolutely certain the real winner will not be anyone from the factions. As the other factions in the world would not stand idly by as they fought and would more than likely attack the winner of the war whom in their weakened state would not be able to win a war against another faction.
The aftermath of that little skirmish caused a shit storm to say the very least. Not only had the system between holy and demonic was broken with the 'birth' of the holy demonic sword user. But the church hid that it had a natural wielder for Durandal, along with being blamed for the negligence in guarding the Excalibur pieces. The fallen angels were being blamed for not keeping their men in line while the devils were being blamed stupidly enough for 'merging that which should not be merged'. Luckily with some skilled diplomacy from the leaders the masses were calmed with no major incident occurring.
Enough of that little history lesson we need to get back on track here. So why was the situation tense? It all started half an hour earlier with the meeting occurring soon, the Gremory for now consisting of only the 'King' Rias Gremory the little sister of the Maou Sirzechs Lucifer, the 'Knight' Kiba Yuuto the holy-demonic sword user and finally the 'pawn' Hyoudou Issei the Red Dragon Emperor. The three arrived at the school to do some final checks on security and to investigate an anonymous tip that there was supposed to be an attack on the school sometime that day.
The plan was to first arrive in the club room and wait for the other members of the 'peerage' to get there. Then they would split up in small groups and patrol around the school until 6 at night. They had arrived at school with no problems what so ever but once they arrived in the club room that was when things had gotten strange to put it mildly.
It had started with a small change Ise a normally easy going albeit perverted teenage boy began becoming irritated. It wasn't notable at first but as the minutes dragged by he started to just snap at small things. To the point of shouting at Rias, an act that was completely alien to the trio over her making a small joke about his little screw up over getting familiars. He started to scream at her about how it wasn't his fault and that was when things started to get a little bit strange.
Issei began to sprout out a rant about something that just didn't seem to make sense. Cursing about a whore goddess, damned magical girls, and some person named Akemi Homura? His boosted gear materialized in his hand near the end of the rant and he leaped toward Rias to attack her, Kiba moved to restrain him.
That was when the things went straight to hell. Issei's demonic power exploded to well past overwhelming levels and he disappeared moving so fast that not even Kiba's enhanced Knight Senses could have seen him. He reappeared, Holy Sword Ascalon in his left hand right behind Kiba the blade inches away from decapitating him. Then he stopped the demonic power as fast as it appeared disappeared and he stopped.
Issei screeched out in agony as the sword and his gauntlet exploded shattering into hundreds of pieces before disappearing. Bright red blood began pouring from his eyes, Issei falls into a cradling position in an attempt to make the pain lesson. Rias sprinted toward Issei but as soon as her hand made contact with him she was sent flying backwards crashing into the wall.
Issei's skin seemed to be melting off of him as his screams of sheer agony began to increase in volume. This continued on for an entire minute, the other two members completely shaken up and unsure what to do stood and watched. Before a bright nearly blinding flash was scene and Issei's injuries disappeared, his screams stopped, and any damage done to the room vanished.
"What the fuck was that!" Issei yelled out not having any sense of composure left in him. Both of his hands went up to his head and began massaging it a massive headache coming from nowhere that caused his vision to distort.
"Ise-kun are you alright?" Rias was the first to say anything; she hesitantly got up from the wall before slowly moving toward Issei. Her left hand reaches toward Issei before hesitating slightly a look she had been trying hard to hide snuck its way onto her face; fear.
Issei knocks her hand away causing her to flinch, an ugly scowl made its way on his face he stood up and began pacing around the small club room. His hands trying to pull out his hair in frustration, several seconds later he lets out a loud exasperated tired sigh.
"I'm sorry." He apologized and paused for a small moment trying to figure out how to continue
"It's just those… Visions seemed so confusing and the pain was much worse than getting roasted by Riser's flames. It's just so damn frustrating and makes no sense! I mean who the hell is Madoka Kaname, Akemi Homura and why am I so angry whenever I hear the words magical girls used in the same sentence?!" His tone started out quiet, but as he continued on he started to become more and more livid.
"What visions are you talking about Ise? And how did you get them?" Kiba interrupted his rant causing Issei to pause. His mouth twisted in a confuse expression as if struggling to find something to say.
"I don't know… It started last night. I had a dream where I was being killed over and over again by some…THING! I know that it was a dream but the pain just felt so real! Like an endless nightmare that I couldn't wake up from! Then when I woke up this morning it just disappeared like it never happened but while on the way to school I just felt so irritated… I'm sorry that I hurt you Gremory-senpai." Issei started with a whisper before exploding into an enraged shout and reverting to a whisper. His face transformed into a look of regret when he turned to look at Rias.
"Why did you not tell anyone this?" Kiba asked
"I didn't want to worry any of you and I was sure it was nothing more than a dream." Ise states in a surprisingly mature tone.
"Oh wow that just sounded completely out of character for you Ise." Kiba said with a smile creeping on his face.
"Fuck you pretty boy I can be mature sometimes." Ise shoots back with his middle finger raised and a smile on his face.
The two break out in a quick chuckle that was joined in from Rias the group deciding to shove away the earlier incident for another time.
"I wonder when everyone else will get here?" Rias joins in the conversation.
"Do you think something will happen during the treaty signing on Saturday?" Ise throws the question out there.
"I really hope nothing will happen but knowing our luck the meeting will probably be attacked." Kiba answers causing Ise to snort.
"Ha I bet we'll probably get attacked by some sparkly vampires." He joked before Kiba and Rias both shot him a look that meant pain if that did occur.
"Please don't joke about that…" Kiba said weakly before a strange smell entered his nostrils. He sniffs loudly drawing the attention of the other two.
"Do you have allergies Yuuto-kun?" Rias questions her knight before the same smell became noticeable to her.
It was at that very moment that same amount of overwhelming demonic power coming from earlier just explodes in front of the glass table in the middle of the room.
The Gremory trio sprang into action the instant the energy was felt. Kiba leapt several feet to the left of the table. A black, slightly gold trimmed holy-demonic sword emerged from nowhere into his left hand. He gripped the blade and stood at a defensive stance waiting to see if whatever comes from the energy is hostile.
Rias and Ise were a split second behind him, Rias appearing next to Kiba on his right side held out her left hand. She began channeling her demonic power into her hand. A crimson aura gushed out of her body causing her beautiful long crimson hair to fly wildly. Dozens of red and crimson magic circles formed a barrier in front of the three before disappearing leaving behind an invisible wall that should reflect or absorb some magic sent toward them. It wouldn't last long but it would give them an extra second to respond if they were attacked.
Ise appearing to the other side of Kiba; the red draconic boosted gear appearing in his left hand with a loud shout of 'Boost! He stood next to Kiba taking a basic martial arts stance before glancing over to Rias who gave him a nod.
"Promotion Queen!" He yelled out and in that moment his pawn piece was 'promoted' to a queen. Magic energy entered into his body as he began to feel lighter, stronger, and the world around him seems to have slowed down slightly. A second 'Boost' was heard from his gauntlet and the effects of he felt his power double. Sweat began dripping down his forehead as he waited impatiently for what was coming.
As though the energy was just screwing with them, the demonic energy vanished without a trace and a blinding flash occurred before a loud crashing sound followed soon by a glass shattering sound. The flash caused the trio to shield their eyes to avoid temporary blindness. And once they opened it they found…A slightly older version of Ise? Lying on top of the broken table, before he screamed out a curse and slammed his hand down to the ground.
"Who the hell are you?!" Ise shouts knocking the other two out of their stupor, and causing them to bring their guard back up as the clone of Ise turns to face them.
The second Issei makes eye contact with the group before letting out a very audible tired sigh and mumbling something under his breath that seemed like a string of curses. He stood up wiping the glass off his body not even flinching and as the glass fell from his back his bleeding stopped? The wounds that should have taken at the very least several hours to heal unless you were a phoenix closed up almost instantly.
He turns his body to face the three causing them to tense up expecting some kind of attack.
"You wouldn't happen to be willing to tell me what year this is?" He asked and as if all the tension in the room was cut in half by a knife only to be replaced by confusion.
"HA?" Ise number one says aloud
"The year what year is it?" Ise number two said in a slightly louder tone this time.
"Wait a second… You look slightly older than me… And you're asking what year is it… Then that means… YOU'RE ME FROM THE FUTURE! DO I BECOME HAREM KING?! AM I STILL A VIRGIN?!" Ise one mumbles quietly to himself before pausing dramatically and screaming out a litany of questions to Future Issei?
Rias, Kiba, and number two stood there gaping at Ise. If it weren't for the seriousness of the situation Kiba would have dropped his sword and went over to the nearest table before slamming his head against it in a moment of sheer frustration.
"What…?" the future Issei asked in a hesitant confused tone.
"HAREM?! AM I STILL A VIRGIN?! WHAT HAPPENS TO ME IN THE FUTURE?!" Ise shouts toward the other Issei whose expression was…Entertaining to watch at the moment.
It started with a confused expression before shifting to a disgusted one then back to confusing scowl, before going to a tired one that practically screamed 'I really don't want to deal with this shit'. All of this occurred in the span of two seconds.
Issei number two face palms himself before taking a long deep breath then proceeded to shout in a fatigued tone that seemed like a frustrated adult disciplining a child for something he shouldn't have done.
"No you fucking dumbass I am not from the future! I'm from another dimension or universe if you want to be accurate you stupid fuck! And I know you are just sitting there comfortably watching this scene with some popcorn so FUCK YOU Madoka I hope you die an agonizing painful death you bipolar bitch!" Near the end of his little monologue he pointed his middle finger into the air as if telling god to fuck off. Before wincing back slightly as if he was struck in the head.
The door opened as a short light blue haired teenaged girl wearing the same uniform as Rias entered the club room.
"What is with all the shouting? I—"She asked aloud before freezing at seeing the second Ise. She glances back at the first Ise and then looking right back at the second. She continued this several more times before a…Bright red blush? Snuck its way onto her face…
"Oh my…There are two Ises… I don't suppose you would-"Before she could have her outrageous question both Issei's eyes widen before at the same time, like a pair of creepy twins shout out.
"HELL NO!"
(Five minutes later)
The now complete Gremory group all gathered around the second Issei as if it was story time. They were all seated around the sofa with second Issei in the middle. Asia, Koneko, Akeno, and Irina were the last two to arrive and their reaction toward the second Issei was… something that the author will not repeat as their fantasies would get this story banned. But let it be known that it would probably make a great doujinshi… If you're into that kind of thing that is…
Meanwhile Koneko just took a glance at the second Issei before walking over toward the fridge and pulling out a vanilla ice cream. Oh how cold...
"Okay let's begins with introductions." The second gestured to the group.
"I'm Asia Argento it's nice to meet you again err I mean nice to meet you Ise-kun" The blonde questionably airhead raised her hand up to wave toward him.
"Xenovia no last name uhh sorry about earlier I might have gotten bit carried away." She introduced herself while rubbing the back on her head.
"Koneko Toujou" The white haired loli said in a tone that made it obvious that she did not want to be here before going back to eating her ice cream in a manner that would have made lolicons squeal in delight.
"My name is Irina Shidou nice to meet you Ise-kun." The self-proclaimed angel introduced before the second Issei blinked.
"Wait a second you're a girl?! Well now that I think about it you were slightly girly boy… But still… Wow I kind of feel really bad now for some reason." He burst out before going down to a whisper. Meanwhile Irina held her head down in a comically depressed manner while muttering about how even this Ise thought she was a boy.
"Ehh right sorry about that let's move on."
"Riiight Kiba Yuuto I wonder how you are with a sword Ise-san if you are any good with it might I ask a spar from you?" Kiba offered a hand out toward Ise who took and shook it and shrugged.
"I prefer not fighting but when I do have to I rather use my fist."
"Fake pacifism?" Kiba ask causing a small frown to make its on the other Ise's face.
"No, it's just that fighting is no fun when I cut lose there are very few things that can stand against me." Ise states as though it was an absolute fact.
"That sounds awfully arrogant of you don't you think?" This time it was Kiba's turn to frown
"Not arrogant if it's the truth." He said causing Kiba's frown to deepen.
"Maybe you would like to test that later on today?" Kiba said with a small edge of steel slipping into his sentence. The air in the clubroom became tense for what seemed like the fourth time that day and it looked as though a fight was about to break about between the two.
"Fu-fu-fu my name is Akeno Himejima I look forward to getting to know you better Ise-kun." Choosing that moment to interrupt to prevent the situation from worsening Akeno states with a small amount of seduction oozing into her sentence Ise merely raised an eyebrow to the statement.
"Right then now finally, my name is Rias Gremory I am the president of the Occult Research Club, the club that everyone else in here is a member of, oh and by the way I am a devil." At that same moment every single club member excluding let out their bat like devil wings. Expecting the other Issei to jump in fear they were surprised to state mildly to find him sitting in the president chair at the back of the room with his left leg crossed and with a glass of red wine in his left hand. A scowl makes its way onto Rias's face.
"Meh I give that a four out of ten, the yellow lanterns had a better introduction." He said bored fashion before getting up and making a mock bow to the group
"My name is Issei Hyoudou though I'm pretty sure you should have figured that out by now unless you're my dumbass alternative" He was interrupted with a loud 'Hey!' from said alternative which was then ignored by everyone.
"I am a dimension traveling Kryptonian Wizard who made a slight screw up and well ended up here. To make things easier for everyone I recommend simply just calling my Hyoudou for the duration of my stay here. I only plan on stay for a week or two to take a small vacation." He told them half-truth and mostly lies; they did not need to know any more than that. Asia raised her hand
"Umm what is a Kry—Kryptonian?" She struggled to say the word.
Hyoudou blinks before turning to make eye contact with Asia
"You're joking right?" He asked getting a confused response Asia began shifting uncomfortably under his gaze.
"Oh come on how do you not know doesn't the name Superman ring a bell?"
"Uhh no…" She said hesitantly obviously distressed with the attention she is getting.
"The Man of Steel? One of the founders of the Justice League? " He shoots off
"I'm afraid I'm not familiar with any of those things the only man of steel that I know of is Siegfried." Rias throws in her two cents.
"Please tell me you've heard of DC comics at the very least?" He was met with the heads shaking from everyone in the group.
"Huh… That's kind of nice to know." Hyoudou said to himself getting an even more confused looks from his audience. Who are silently urging him to explain.
"Just think of me as a very powerful wizard." He lies yet again what a dick.
The Gremory Group simply shrugs it off before the sound of a watch beeping interrupts the silence.
"Oh my, looks like we spent our time talking much longer than I thought. We completely missed our patrol of the school. Oh well I doubt anything would have happened anyway."
"This is kind of awkward but I don't have a place to stay at the moment so, do you mind if I crash at your place for the night?" Hyoudou asks Ise
"I think it should be fine my parents are out of town for the next week. It would be really awkward trying to explain you to them."
"Do they not know of you being a devil?" Hyoudou ask before getting a nod.
"Ah, I won't pry then it's not my place." Hyoudou apologized immediately.
"I guess we should call it a night then." Rias states as the group members all get up and begin to leave.
"Hey knight boy you still want to prove that you can take me?" Hyoudou challenges, Kiba quickly turn to face him his eyes narrowed before glancing toward Rias who gave a tired sigh the nodded.
"Very well we can do this behind the school. Follow me." Kiba accepts before turning toward the door and walking off with Hyoudou and the rest of the Gremory Group quickly following behind.
(Behind the school)
The two stood at an open grass field that would have normally be used by the students to play soccer against one another. Hyoudou stood on the north side while Kiba stood to the south the demonic sword holy eraser, a black European style long sword held in his left hand. While Hyoudou stood there hands in both of his pockets an arrogant smirk on his face as though he was unconcerned of anything Kiba could have thrown at him.
The other members of the group stood on the sidelines watching the battle soon to erupt carefully.
'His arrogant smirk is just so infuriating' the thought went into Kiba mind as he bit down on his tongue to keep his anger in check. He sent a glare Hyoudou's way with a small amount of killing intent leaking in. There was just something about this Ise that just made him so angry. His way of acting right now just reminded him of Kokabiel so much. Kokabiel that bastard that almost killed all of them if it were not for the intervention of the White Dragon Emperor. It just pisses him off how powerless he felt and how his new 'family' almost died.
"I know I am very attractive but are you going to stand there staring at me all night or are you going to attack. Come on don't be a coward I'll give you the first hit." Hyoudou mocked and as soon as he said the coward comment Kiba shot off like a speeding bullet.
Kiba channeled demonic magic into his legs to strengthen them before blasting off 'He was not a coward!' he seethed inwardly. He closed the distance between the two in less than three seconds and swung his blade horizontally aiming to cut Hyoudou in half. Yet the moment his blade made contact with the arrogant teen it shattered into a million pieces, Yuuto's eyes widen as he sent magic to his hand to summon a new sword.
"Too slow and too weak. How very disappointing " Hyoudou whispered before sending a vicious roundhouse kick that sent Kiba flying all the way back and crashing into the tree on the other side of the field. Kiba opened his mouth to cry out in agony he felt as though he had just been hit by a freight train going possibly hundreds of miles an hour.
As he slammed into the tree the force of his impact caused the tree to split in half the resulting shockwave sent nearby leaves flying away. He felt his ribs crack, blood exploded from his mouth as darkness engulfed him.
The group watching the fight; no it was more of a one sided curb stomp battle between an ant and a giant, were gaping.
"Holy Shit!" Xenovia was the first to recover followed soon by Asia who sprinted toward Kiba Twilight healing already out.
One thing was certain about the outcome of this fight; this Hyoudou Issei was very dangerous.
On the outskirts of the city a young black long black haired young girl stood. Her expression completely emotionless uncaring if the world at that very moment was to end. The sensation at the back of its mind felt stronger. Whatever it was it was here in this city somewhere and it would find it.
Dozens of small white snakes slid out of the young girl's body and scoured across the city in search of that feeling. She will find it and once she does she will get her answers on what that feeling is.
And holy shit done I was on a roll for most of this chapter and got it done in only a day. So what do you think drop a review and tell me.
At this rate unless my computer decides to go and die on me I should have the next chapter done in a few days. Not much else to say, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Next chapter we have the meeting with Ophis, Gremory group reaction and Grayfia shows up.
Till next time which hopefully won't be a year from now lol
