I hope you enjoyed that. I love to make cliffhangers. Anyway here is the third chapter. Please review
Will I make it through?
Issei was careful due to the fact that his opponents were dragons. He waited for the first move.
The dragon on the right lunged first, but Issei jumped upwards to dodge the attack.
He was vulnerable in this position and the two dragons didn't waste that opportunity.
The second dragon lunged at him directly with its body. The scales were stone, but they cut like teeth. Direct hit and Issei fell to the ground.
[Hyodo-kun, start attacking]
Issei got ready and his golden dragon insignia was glowing with power.
Issei charged at the dragon on the right. His movements were a blur and when he stopped to attack, he charged his right fist and slammed it to the dragon's side, and making the dragon crash to the ground.
The second dragon lunged at him faster moves than before. Issei vaulted over the dragon easily, but it turned and started to roll. It created a swirl of wind around its body and charged at Issei again. The dragon he just knocked out got up again and did the same thing.
What do I do Saizen?
[Keep moving don't let them corner you with their attacks]
Issei watched carefully , but the dragons were to fast and the first dragon hit Issei with devastating power, send him to the air.
The second dragon flew up and crashed its tail on Issei sending back down to the ground.
The impact created a crater. Issei was already battered after five minutes with these guys.
Saizen, can you go to balance breaker?
[We can try. I'm not sure if you can, but its worth an effort.]
Sweet.
His insignia started to glow and a voice was heard.
"Activate balance breaker: Lightweight Crimson Reaper"
Issei's clothing changed. He now wore a red cloak with a black shirt and pants.
Um Saizen what is this?
[Balance breaker: Lightweight Crimson Reaper. This balance breaker allows you to move at extreme speeds. The material in the clothing is the same as your previous armor, but more lightweight, hence the name.]
Issei's body was practically light as a feather. He wanted to try the speed, so he ran at the first dragon.
His speed allowed him to disappear from their sights and reappeared by crashing towards the mountain wall.
[It seems we need more training with the balance breakers]
Issei was laying down unconscious because of the large amount of damage he received by just crashing to the wall.
[Idiot]
The two dragons went back towards the pillar and reverted back to mere carvings.
Issei woke up and finds himself in his room. Was it all a dream? He looked to the sides and he could see Rias and Asia sleeping together. He tried to touch Rias's large bust, but his hand went through. He looked closer and saw that they were also crying. He nearly forgot that he was dead.
The world started to change and he was back in the valley with Saizen. He had a massive headache.
[Issei looks like we need more training so you may get accustomed to the speed of that balance breaker]
Saizen, you said balance breakers, how many balance breakers can I have?
[You have 4 modes of balance breakers: Lightweight, Shock, Balance, and Reaper]
Ok can you tell me the other three modes and what they do?
[Ok then. Let's start with Shock. This mode gives you advanced power and defense in exchange for speed. You are also able to shoot larger and more powerful shots of void]
So like a rook and Bishop?
[Next is Balance or commonly called a Warrior. It gives you medium amount of power, defense, and speed.]
A rook and knight combo.
[The last mode is Reaper. You could say it is the milder version of Juggernaut Drive. This allows you to be have the highest percent of speed, power and magical abilities.]
A queen mode. Just like Ddraig.
[That is a quick summary, but let us only use the Lightweight balance breaker because it is your first balance breaker.]
Tell me what to do Saizen-sensei!
Issei went to balance breaker and slowly moved an inch, but when he did that, he moved at least 50 feet. Saizen instructed Issei to keep doing this until he can control his movements. Saizen provided the needed gravitational pressure on Issei's body. A few weeks doing this and Issei could easily vault over rocks and jump over lakes.
[Ok Hyodo-kun, let us see how much you have improved]
They went back to the pillar and the two stone dragons emerged again.
"Lets do this."
His insignia glowed and the voice was heard.
"Activate balance breaker: Lightweight Crimson Reaper."
His clothing started to change. (Thank Satan that Saizen can repair clothes, but man I stink)
He was ready to start. He disappeared from sight and reappeared next to the first dragon and slammed his elbow to its side, making a crack sound on the dragon's body.
The second dragon breathed fire, but Issei dodged it easily and disappeared again. He was on the dragon and slammed his fist down on its body. The impact made the wind howl.
Issei stepped back and started to celebrate.
[Hold on, its not over…it never is…]
Issei was confused and turned around to see the two dragons staring at him as if nothing happened.
I thought I beat them.
They are the Dual-Power Dragons. No matter how much power you have they can double it and add it to their own.
So it's a never ending battle?
[No, they only stay until your power is ready to face the journey back.]
The two dragons, who were always silent, spoke.
"I am Verium"
"I am Seraphim"
"Hyodo Issei, we deem you worthy to take the path back to the living. Are you ready to face the road ahead?"
A door suddenly appeared between the dragons.
[Partner, this is it. We needed more training, but it seems you were able to achieve the needed requirements to start the journey. You ready?]
Hell yeah I'm ready for this.
"Step through the gate and enter Hell. Your journey will begin there. It is for the best to gather allies in Hell.
With those final words, I stepped into Hell.
I would first like to thank BloodRobert. He inspired me to also create this story with some similarity to him. If you read his story and then mine, don't be surprised if we have some things in common. The next chapter will be released shortly. Please review.
