A.N. - Another chapter for you guys. Hope you enjoy.

P.S. I do not own both MSLN and HS DxD

In the end, that day ended with just an introduction towards the devils who were living there. The next day, as Issei and Vivio arrived at the school gate, many girls pondered at this when they saw Issei was without his girlfriend, and then rumours going around that his girlfriend dumped him, causing the usual acts of flirting with Issei resumed again.

By lunch time, many girls tried to ask Issei out, causing him to run away to the student council room, which he saw Souna was tidying up the files with the vice-president, whom he know as Shinra Tsubaki.

"Oh, do you girls need any help?"

"Ah, Issei-san. Please do. There's a lot of stuff that I need to sort through."

After they sort the files, Souna and Issei began their third chess match. While they're playing, Souna drop a bomb at Issei.

"So, I've heard that the president of the Occult Research Club wants to talk to you, Issei-san."

"Huh, news travels fast around here... did she told you about it?" Issei asked calmly.

"Well, I've heard it from the vice-president, indirectly anyway. So can I ask you a question? What did you do to her that she wants to talk with you?"

"Oh, that... That must be because she saw me broke up with my girlfriend, which the rumours are actually correct," said Issei with a shrug that caused both Souna and Tsubaki to flinch.

"Wait, you've broken up with your girlfriend? That's the truth?" asked Tsubaki.

"Well, yeah. It seems that she had to go away to stay with her father. She was heartbroken around then, but I comforted her and said that she will meet someone who is better than me there. And, checkmate," said Issei with finality when he put his queen at Souna's king with no room to move.

"Really, you made me lose focus there, but I did try to make you lose yours first, so that's fair, I guess."

"Well, if it's just that, then thanks for the game, Souna-san. Hope to have another match later next week."

With that he left the room and within minutes later a knock was heard and Rias entered after her confirmation.

"Yes, Rias, what can I help you with?"

"Sona, after this, can you meet me in the Occult Research Club?"

"Is there something wrong?"

"Well, it seems that I will meet a magician and I need your help with explaining things to him."

"Wait, you met a magician that isn't affiliate with any organization?" Sona asked in surprise.

"Yes, and it seems that his family are also magicians. I would like you to help me with this."

"Sure, I will help you out then," Sona said with a smile before remembering something.

'Wait, isn't Issei-san supposed to meet with Rias later?'

At class, while he was busy with his notes, he heard squeals coming from the class door and when he looked up, he saw a handsome blonde boy there, whom he knew as Kiba Yuuto, another second year student from another class. When he came towards his seats, he heard many disturbing things mentioned by the girls, like shipping or something like that.

"Are you Takamachi Issei?" Kiba asked.

"Well, yes I am. So what can I help you with?"

"Buchou sent me to take you there."

"Buchou?"

"Gremory-senpai," said Kiba with Issei nodded in understanding.

"Ah, Gremory-senpai did mention it. Well then, lead the way, Kiba-san."

When they left the classroom, he heard many squeals of Yuuto x Issei pairing that it makes him shivers in disgust.

"*sigh* Really, those girls... How do you stand with all those nonsense?" said Issei out of the blue while they're walking through the hallway.

"I don't, actually. I learned that it's best just to ignore it."

At the front of the ORC room. Kiba knocked at the door and announced that he bought Issei there.

"Please come in," said Rias inside with Kiba opened the door and show him inside.

Inside he saw runes, glyphs and spells in different languages all over the room except at the middle of the room where he saw a magic circle of non-Mid Childan origin which he thought was used by the devils. Around the magic circle was a desk and few sofas.

On one of the sofa he saw a petite white-haired girl, which he knew the one who followed him everyday, and according to his sister, her name is Toujou Koneko. He was surprised that he saw surprised Souna-san and Shinra-san at the opposite sofa where Koneko's sitting, and Rias is sitting in a sofa in front of him with Akeno handing out teacups at those who were present there.

"Ah, Takamachi-san, please sit. We've been expecting you," said Rias with a smile.

As he sat at the sofa opposite of her, Akeno then graciously put a teacup near him.

"Thank you, Himejima-san. And I didn't expect Souna-san and Shinra-san to be present here."

"I never thought that you're a magician either, Issei-san," said Souna a bit confused.

At that statement, he looked at Rias for confirmation and she nodded before saying, "Yes, both of us are actually high-class devils."

'So both of them are devils. Does that mean everyone in the student council and this club are also devils?' he thought to himself.

"Anyway, I would like to introduce myself again. My name is Rias Gremory of the Gremory clan, one of the 72 Pillars," said Rias in a noble fashion.

"I believed you met Kiba Yuuto, my Knight, and this is Toujou Koneko, whom I guess you've known her for following you before, is my Rook."

"And I'm Himejima Akeno, Rias Queen," said Akeno after standing beside Rias.

As he looked at the situation dumbfounded, he then turned his attention towards Souna and Shinra for some answers.

"Well, since the cat's out of the bag, I will tell you who I really am. As you know, my name in the school is Shitori Souna, but my real name is Sona Sitri of the Sitri clan, also one of the 72 Pillars. And besides me is my Queen, Shinra Tsubaki," Sona said with Shinra bowed in acknowledgement.

"I know that you have a lot of questions, but can I know who or what you are again, Takamachi-san?" Sona asked in a serious tone.

'Okay, what's going on? Knight? Rook? Queen? And how did I not notice the name Gremory? I remembered that Ddraig told me that the name is one of the 72 Pillars of the devils. Better keep this as usual then," thought Issei as he immediately calmed down.

"Okay, as you know, my name is Takamachi Issei and I'm actually a mage. You might be wondering why that I didn't contact any of you when magicians usually seeks devils, am I correct?" he asked and the devils nodded in agreement.

"Well, my family actually lived in an isolated place where no supernatural beings were present, and it can only be entered by humans only. The only reason that we've learned that you guys are real is because of Ddraig," he explained which caused both Rias' and Sona's brow to raised.

"Ddraig, you mean your Sacred Gear? You've awakened it?" asked Sona.

"Yes, if you want, I'll show you." |Ddraig, Gauntlet Form! Without barrier Jacket!|

|[Handshuhform]|

At his arm, emerged a crimson gauntlet with an emerald jewel affixed at the center of the gauntlet and two golden spikes. The arm was also coated with plates to the shoulder, making it looked like he was wearing part of an armor. The gauntlet also spouted what looks to be a retractable mechanism below the jewel. This stunned both the devil heiresses.

"Boosted Gear? But the form is quite different than what I learned," said Sona exasperated.

'Shoot, I forgot that both of them might know about Boosted Gear's original form. Well, what's done is done.'

"So, is it some kine of Balance Break?"

[No, it is not, Heiress of Sitri. It is just that he has certain qualities that made it happen and even I didn't know about it.]

"You must be Ddraig, I presume?" Sitri asked after calming down.

[Yes. When I awakened by my partner here, I was shocked to see that he and his family didn't know about you guys, and they agreed to come here after debating if it's beneficial for everyone or not. I would like to say is I hope you devils can aid my partner here as he has many questions. So, Aibou, carry on.]

"So, anyway, I would like to ask you something that piqued my interest just now. You said that Kiba-san is a Knight, Toujou-san, Rook and both Himejima-san and Shinra-san Queen. What do you mean by that?"

"Oh, yes. What I meant is that they're are in my peerage. We devils used Evil Pieces to used to turn humans or any other beings into reincarnated devils. It can also be used to revived those who are dead or on brink of death. In return, they will serve the King as servants to protect and aid them when needed," explained Sona towards Issei while showing an Evil Piece.

'What's with that incredible device? If only Presea-baasan knew about this, Alicia-obasan might be alive today, and Fate-kaasan won't be hurt. This Evil Piece can be considered Lost Logia with it's ability to resurrect dead people, even if they have to be a devil. Forging a connection with them might be benificial for TSAB after all,' thought Issei when he heard the explanation.

"Speaking of peerage, there is something that I want to ask you too, if you don't mind. Would you like to join my peerage?" asked Rias before Sona could asked him herself.

"It is a nice offer, but I have to decline. After all, I only wanted to talk with you all to know more about supernatural beings anyway. But, can I join the club?" asked Issei after seeing Rias looked down.

"Um, what do you mean?"

"If I join, I might be able to help you guys with whatever problem that might occur which require my help. This also applies to the student council too."

"Well, that's fine then. Even if you aren't one of my peerage, I would like to welcome you to the Occult Research Club. Glad to have you on-board," said Rias after thinking it through.

As they almost finish up the meeting, he got a call from Fate.

|Ise?|

|Yes, Fate-kaassan?|

|It looks like the girl's awake now. Are you on the way home?|

|Yes, I just finished with my meeting with the devil group so I will be coming home soon.| "Excuse me, but I just remembered something important to do, so I hope you don't mind I leave early today, Buchou?"

"Sure, you may leave early today, Issei-san. Take care."

"See you later, Buchou, Sona-san."

After he left, both the girls looked daggers at each other.

"So, how did you meet with him first, Sona?" said Rias smiling evilly.

"And how did you come out to ask him to join the peerage, Rias? You don't know him that much, you know," Sona said with venom in the words.

Both of the then began to laugh which cause their peerage to tremble for a bit.

'Yuuma's? PoV'

As I open my eyes, the first thing I saw is the ceiling. It looked strangely futuristic and kinda cramped. Then I remembered that I lost the battle with Issei. I opened my eyes wide and looked at my surroundings to see that I'm inside a room of some sort. It reminds me of a jail cell in those sci-fi movies.

'Wh-what's going to happen to me?' I thought to myself as I tried using my fallen angel's power, but somehow, whenever I tried summoning the power, it immediately disappear causing me to panic. Then I heard a female voice inside my head.

|Ah, it seems you've awaken, angel-san.|

"W-w-who's there? Show yourself!" I demanded, knowing it's futile, but somehow she was beside the door of the cell before she removed the door.

|I see that you're still have your wits around. That's good.|

The said person is actually a huge wolf and behind her is a person, wearing what seems to be an armor.

|Lieutenant-Colonel Yagami and 2nd Lieutenant Takamachi wants to talk with you. We will bring you to a room now. We will bring you some food in there,| said the wolf before turning which made me follow them.

Along the way, I noticed that there are a lot of people wearing the same uniform that makes me wonder if I'm in a military installation or something. As we arrived at the said room, I wondered if they're trying to interrogate me here.

After giving me a meal, I heard a voice coming from the door.

"This is Lieutenant-Colonel Yagami and 2nd Lieutenant Takamachi, we would like to talk with you."

I tensed up when I heard them, coming in and was shocked to see Issei behind a woman with a short brown hair. As they come closer, I noticed that Issei was wearing a uniform too. After watching me for a minute, both of them looked at each other and the woman, I presume to be Yagami, gestured Issei to sit across me.

"Yuuma-san, I'm glad that you're fine, though technically, I'm the one who wronged you," said Issei with guilt within it.

"Well, if you're the one who wronged me, then why did you bring me here?"

After I rant at him, he looked at me in a serious manner, which cause me to remember where I really am.

"Currently, you're at TSAB warship named Wolfram and the commandeer of the vessel is the her," he said while showing her.

"Actually, I'm here to help you. We're here are actually on a mission to talk with the all the magical and supernatural communities on Earth and wanted to created a diplomatic relationship between us," he said again in a serious manner.

When I look at his face, I know that I can trust him and the wo-lady behind him. In the end, I sigh and ask him, "Okay, I admit that you want to help, but can you tell me who and what are you?"

I mean he, without his Sacred Gear, was able to defeat me in seconds while I have to use everything I've got just trying to escape that predicament. Who is he and how did he get so strong?

After looking at each other, the lady nodded with Issei nodded in return before looking at me again.

"Alright, that seems fair enough. But please, can you tell me your real name?" asked Issei.

"It's Raynare. I don't have any surname," I said truthfully, and then, he began to talk.

What he told me is beyond insane. I mean, a world with advanced magical technology? Worlds being governed by a military group? Ancient artifacts able to destroy worlds? And both he and the lady was said living artifacts? If Azazel haven't told me about how vast the Dimensional Gap and how little we know about it, I might just laugh it all of, but here, the proof is right in front of me. He would love to take apart everything that is on this ship, I tell you.

"So, do you have any questions?" asked Issei after finishing up his story.

"Well, there are plenty of them. One, how strong are you? Two, what will you do to me after this? And finally, can I become like you guys?" I asked just to make sure.

"Well, in retrospect, he is one of the strongest combatant that is on this ship, among 6 that is, not including me. If you're willing to cooperate, I can assure you that you will be treated fairly and just. Finally, looking at your magic potential, I can see that you can be a good A Class mage if you have the aptitude," said the lady answering all my questions in one swift stroke.

Convinced, I told them everything I know. Whose in charge of the area, what's the real goal, why it change and everything.

"So, this Balam guy appeared and began to take charge of the area that you're holding, am I correct?" the lady asked for confirmation after digesting the information.

"That is correct, and he's the one that ordered me to kill Issei here. I don't want to go against him as he is one of Kokabiel's subordinate and one of the Fallen that had fought in the war," I said grimly before looking at Issei.

"As a matter of fact, I was supposed to meet you and talk about having you join Grigori to help you understand your Sacred Gear actually when you appeared again. But it seems that it is wasted as you've already affiliated yourself with something even bigger than what we can offer to you," I said with a pained expression.

"Well, it's nothing to be worry about. Anyway, that means that perhaps this Balam is the one severing the connection between you and Azazel then. Well, for now, you need to go into hiding and I think staying here at Wolfram is the right choice," he said after thinking a bit but I object his offer. I don't want to be cooped up somewhere in the Dimensional Gap!

"How about this. You stay with me then," the lady offered.

"And you are? I know your rank and all, but I want to know if I can trust you as I have with Issei."

"My name is Yagami Hayate and I'm from Earth as well. At my house, there's nothing to worry about as me and the others can protect you if anything happens. I hope you take this offer, Raynare-chan," said Hayate with a beaming smile.

"Ugh, I'm not that young, you hear me! I'm actually a lot older than you," I shouted at her as she giggled at my outburst.

"Ugh, fine. I will cooperate with you guys. Just don't expect much from me right now."

With that I cooperate with them and I was sent back to the cell before being taken to the house.

A.N. - Wow, a bit long than usual, but I did it. Anyway, in this fanfic, I made that Raynare after being turned Fallen and was abandoned, she was tutored by Azazel and become sort of his little helper as she know a bit of some knowledge that Azazel usually spouts every now and then. So yes, in the long run, there will be more characters that will be OOC, not just Raynare.

And not just that, I wonder how did Ajuka made those Evil pieces? And who would help him and having someone to test it upon? I would like to some speculations at the reviews.
