Issei and his group suddenly Materialised on the outskirts of an abandoned western shrine that some how seemed to radiate power. This was a location well known to the hero faction as they had made several attempts to gain the artifact inside the shrine but could never enter because of an unknown and unbreakable barrier.

"What are we doing here leader sama? This place is inaccessible because of that wretched barrier around it." Georg said.

"True. But the shrine contains the sword of the legendary Nero, the red queen. He was the previous weilder of the Boosted gear and in his last moments he used the gear to create this barrier. Because of that no one except those with an energy signsture similar to ddraig can enter it." Issei explained as he chuckled at georgs uncharacteristic huff.

Issei then told the rest of his team to wait for him. He was going to go in alone and retrieve the blade after which they would go to Romania and then carry out their rescue operation.

"But there will be dangers in side you cant go in there alone." Jeanne worriedly said. She was scared that she would lose the only man she ever had feelings for. Her concern caused Issei to give her a very warm smile which caused her cheeks to burn up.

Issei then snaked his hands around her slender waist and pulled her towards him. And before she could speak he planted his lips on hers giving her a chaste yet passionate kiss. They broke away a few moments later. After that Issei placed his forehead on hers and said.

"Don't worry I will be back. That's a promise of a lifetime."

Jeanne only blissfully nodded as Ise gave her another peck on the lips before entering the shrine. As he left Seigfried smirked at a Blushing jeanne and said "So Jean when can we expect to become godfathers?"

Jeanne blush intensified Before she shouted "BAKAAAAA." And hit a laughing seigfried on the head which caused him to tumble before he balanced himself and started snickering at a steaming Jeanne.

With Issei.*

As issei was moving deeper into the shrine he could feel the resonation of the swords energy but couldn't pin point its location. Finally after an other useless attempt at sensing the sword he decided to ask his resident dragon emperor for information of the swords location.

"Ne ddraig where is that sword?" I can sense its energy every where. So wherewhere exactly should I go?"

After a few minutes of contemplation ddraig said "[To the north east from here partner becareful tho If I knew Nero, he would have left more than one traps which would test whether a wielder is worthy or not.]"

However before Issei could Answer vitra interjected and said "I dont really see what the problem is. You have gotten a fair control over the shadow manipulation power you gained through the prison of ruin. Why not join the shadows and ultimately avoid all of the traps before picking up the sword?"

Next to speak was alb who said "(Now that you think about it, that is a very plausible plan. Go through with it haibo.)"

Nodding at the assessment of his partners. Issei summoned the prison of Ruin and said " Balance Breaker". As he said that Vitra called out and said "Prison Dragon BALANCE BREAKER." In a purple flash of light Issei was donning a purple draconic knight like armor with 2 wings on his back and a shadow sword on his hip.

"Lets do it." Said Issei as he dissolved into the shadows and started making his way to the sword. A few floors down under the shrine Issei finally came across a locked room that was emitting much more power.

"Well this must be it." Issei said out loud before he kicked the door open. In the centre of the room was a sword embedded in a boulder. Moving towards it cautiously Issei grabbed the hilt of the blade and pulled it out. Just as he did a hologram of Nero appeared. Nero was a tall blond man with Voilet eyes. He had a muscular and lean built. He had a kind smile on his face.

"It seems red has chosen her new wielder. Use her well kid. That blade has the power that makes it possible to conquer. Don't let it get to your head and you will be fine." The hologram said before it disappeared.

Just as the hologram disappeared the whole area started to shake and began to collapse. "Oh shit." Issei said as he then channelled the power of his other 2 dragons and shouted "Heavenly dragon king balance breaker."

"[(HEAVENLY DRAGON KING BALANCE BREAKER.)]" The three dragons shouted in unison as Issei was now donning a completely different and stronger armor. It was black in color, had the armor of the welsh dragon, wings, head and tail of the Vanishing dragon. Finally the gems on it were dark red. Overall because of the armor Issei could have been called the new Black Dragon emperor.

Forming an energy barrior around him he fired a strong dragon shot at the crumbling ceiling and immediately flew behind it. The dragon shot. Soon the dragon shot broke through the roof of the shrine and flew on to the sky as Issei who was flying close behind shouted "Yeeeeehhhhaaaaaaa." He then landed in front of his team who were watching the splendor of his new armor. Issei then focused the energy of his divine dividing and synced it with the swords. Absorbing it into the gear like ascalon for ddraig, and skiadrum for Vitra.

He landed Infront of his team and released his armor before grinning at them. However he didnt get a chance to speak when Jeanne in flash appeared in front of him and kicked him hard in the stomach. Before pulling on his collar and kissing him hard.

When they broke apart she hugged him tightly and whispered "You baka dont do stunts like that again." Chuckling Issei hugged her before a voice spoke.

"So it was you who fired that black dragon shot huh."

Issei immediately knew who it was and with a grin said "Its been a while hasn't it Vali...".

BANG THATS IT FOR THE CHAP HOPE YOU LIKE IT.
