Chapter 11: First Contact Part 2
As he walked down the hallway in a slow, dejected manner, Issei could not help but sigh. 'I really screwed that one up didn't I?' the pervert thought to himself.
[I can't really say that you didn't partner] Ddraig commentated within the boy's mind.
'Thanks for that Ddraig,' the brown haired devil replied dryly as he stopped walking. He then turned and walked closer to the window before closing his eyes and placing his forehead against the glass. Sighing once again, he continued to think, 'But what was I supposed to do? Should I have said, 'Hey Yui, I was killed by my first girlfriend and now am a devil'? I can't say that. She'd freak out and that would just be about me being killed. I'd have no idea how she'd react to me being something that will live longer than she or my family will.'
The Red Dragon chose to stay silent as his host continued to lament his situation. If there was ever one thought that continuously made its way back into the pervert's mind it was the thought of outliving his human loved ones. The average life span of a human was about 100 years while the average life span of a devil was 10,000 years. That was 1000 times longer to live which meant that his current partner was no doubt going to live longer than his friends, which killed him inside. While he had seen many partners having loved ones that they were close to, the feelings that Issei Hyoudou had for his siblings and his childhood friend were much stronger than any he'd seen. But that also made the thought of what his reaction would be if he lost those people worrisome.
Issei's arms then sagged as he sighed once more. 'I mean, when I become a high class devil, I would want to revive Yui, Rito, and Mikan, but…by that time, they'll already have major things in their lives. Rito will be with Haruna-chan and enjoying each other's company, Mikan will be living her life how she wants to, without big brothers around, and even Yui will be going on to do bigger things. Hell, after our third year, I'm sure she'll want to go out to some big fancy university, away from me. I mean, I'll still be pals with Matsuda and Motohama and I'll have the rest of the ORC and now Lala too…until her fiancé is chosen but that's not for a while.'
The pervert then lifted his head off the window and looked at his reflection as if trying to see something only he could see. 'And besides, even if I told Yui or my little siblings about my new life as a devil…I'd probably be throwing them into some kind of danger.' His thoughts went back to the days after he was revived as a devil. He imagined a scenario where Yui was with him and she was walking back with him from school when suddenly one of the fallen angels attacks. The two friends would then run with Issei getting a light spear to the stomach. Of course, the black haired beauty would try and protect her friend, not knowing the dangers which would lead to…
He shook his head, not wanting to even imagine what would happen to his longtime friend. 'I couldn't do that to her. I could never…would never want to put her in any kind of danger.'
[Sometimes we don't get that choice partner] Ddraig spoke up, breaking the pervert's concentration. [None of my previous partners ever wanted to bring their loved ones into danger and yet most of them were put in danger.]
Frowning a bit, Issei mentally replied, 'Well I'm not like those guys.'
[That's for sure] the Heavenly Dragon dryly replied causing his host to mentally shout at him. [Besides, I wouldn't think of that girl as defenseless.]
This caught the pervert off guard as he looked at his hand in confusion. 'What do you mean?'
[…It's nothing] Ddraig replied while making Issei think of the dragon shaking his head. [Perhaps I was imagining things. In any case though, whether or not she needs to know about your current state is irrelevant. Sooner or later she is going to find out. Take it from me partner, women always find out.]
Issei swore he could hear a shiver in Ddraig's tone. However, before he could respond, the bell rang signaling the end of lunch. Backing up from the window, the brown haired male shook his head before looking at the ground in front of him. 'Well…you're not wrong Ddraig…I just…how can I explain this to Yui-'
The boy's thoughts were then cut off by the sound of a cat meowing as if it was singing. His eyes widened at the fluffy animal's sound. 'Yui!' he thought with a small smile on his face. He then reached into his pocket and quickly fished out his cell phone. After pushing the button, the pervert raised the device up to his ear and said, "Hey Yui! Listen, about earlier I wanted to-"
"So sorry, but Yui Kotegawa can't come to the phone right now."
Issei's entire body froze at the unfamiliar voice coming from the receiver. His eyes widened and his grip loosened to a point where the phone almost fell from his hand. "W-who are-"
"Who am I?" the voice finished, sounding very disgustingly slimly and nasty to the devil. "Well, I can't say too much. All I can say is that you better hurry up and come to the equipment storage. I have something to discuss with you concerning the first princess of Deviluke."
'Deviluke?!' Issei thought, too shocked to exclaim the word.
"Should you refuse," the voice continued, not bothering to let the brown haired male respond, "your dear friend Yui will suffer the consequences."
Once again, Issei froze at the voice's statement. "…Yui?" he asked slowly. His eyes then began to narrow to a sharp point, his teeth began to grind together, and his grip on his phone became tighter with each passing second. "What do you mean Yui will suffer the consequences?" he asked, his tone like a dam trying its best to hold back a flood.
"It's as I said," the voice on the other phone replied, completely oblivious to the Earthling's tone. "You best hurry." And with that final word, the mysterious voice hung up leaving the dial tone as the only sound for Issei to hear.
For a few moments, Issei just stood in place, his grip on his phone trying to get looser to prevent him from breaking his device. Then, after putting his device back into his pocket, the pervert turned around and began walking in the opposite direction of his classroom.
As he did this, he did not notice his two fellow perverted pals walking up to him, both covered in bruises from their latest peeping job. "Yo, Ise!" the bald headed of the two called out, a satisfied smile on his face. "You'll never believe what we saw today!"
The glasses wearing pervert nodded his head as he said, "Indeed, for you see, we got to see actual nip-" Motohama then cut himself off as he saw his friend's face and immediately backed up close to the wall to get out of Issei's way with Matsuda doing the same.
As the brown haired male continued on his way, not even responding to his friends' statements, the other two members of the Perverted Trio looked at each other with confused yet worried looks. "Damn," Matsuda began slowly, "it's been a while since we've seen that look on him."
Motohama nodded in agreeance as he watched their friend walk down the stairs, his bangs covering his face. "Indeed, if I remember correctly, last time he made that face was when you made a comment about his sister."
"Don't remind me," the former track star commented while wincing at the same time. He could easily recall that day as well as the pain that came with it. All he did was say how adorable Issei's little sister was and he wouldn't mind hugging her. That earned him a suplex and a glare that still haunts his dreams.
Just as it was back then, Issei Hyoudou's expression was that of cold fury. And whoever caused such a look to appear on the normally jovial and optimistic pervert…the two could not feel any pity for them.
"Hmm?" a certain pink haired alien said as she looked at the door in confusion.
"What wrong Lala-chi?" Risa asked as she sat leisurely on her desk. At the moment, her, Mio, Aika, Asia, and Lala were sitting around each other finishing up their lunches.
"Well," Lala began as she looked around the classroom. "Ise isn't back yet even though class is about to start again."
At this statement, everyone else looked and noticed that the new girl's observation was indeed correct.
"Not only that, but Komegawa isn't back either," Mio commented. This also seemed strange to the Triple H Girls as they knew their class representative was not one to be late or miss the bell.
The dirty blonde smiled a sly smirk that showed tones of perversion as she said, "Maybe she and Hyoudou found an empty closet to go to."
""Empty closest?"" both non-human girls asked in a confused manner.
The pig tailed girl of the group smiled rather pervertedly herself as replied, "Hmm, well it would make sense. Afterall, Kotegawa and Hyoudou are childhood friends and with so many rivals appearing, such as this lovely fiancée-" she gestured to a rather confused Lala, "-perhaps she wanted to get a leg up on the competition."
"Oh my~" Mio commented while holding her blushing cheeks, "How bold! I would have never thought that she'd go that far~"
"Um," the long haired blonde spoke up nervously while raising her hand, "what does it mean to…find themselves a closet?"
The three perverted girls looked at each other before nodding in an understanding manner. Aika then got up close to her friend and leaned in as she said, "Well you see, Asia, when you and Issei are alone and find a closet, you two will…" As she continued to speak, her voice was lowered to the point where only Asia could hear it.
However, judging by the devil's blush darkening, it was clear to many what she was being told.
"W-w-what?!" the former nun stuttered in shock. She was not quite expecting that. Then again, she had no idea what to expect.
The auburn hair girl nodded while giving a satisfied smile. "Mmhm, and it gets even better."
Asia held her blushing cheeks as she was still trying to process what she was just told. "I-I mean…it's not like I wouldn't want to do it with Ise-san but…in a cramped and…dark…and…" Her cheeks became an even darker shade of red as she continued to mumble to herself, much to the amusement of the Triple H Girls.
"I don't get it," Lala said, causing everyone to focus on her. "What did you tell Asia?"
Risa smiled in a mischievous manner as she leaned into the girl's ear. "Well…"
Seeing this, Asia's eyes became wide with fear. "No!" she cried out while covering the dirty blonde's mouth and trying to pull her away. Whether it was to limit the competition or to prevent such a pure soul from being corrupted…only she would know. However, it did cause the glasses wearing girls to laugh a bit and the pink haired girl to tilt her head in confusion.
Shaking her head while sighing a bit, Aika then said, "If it's my guess, Hyoudou is probably either with his pals and they are heading back here after visiting the nurse's office due to their daily beating or he's with Kokegawa, which would explain why she isn't here." The other two of the trio nodded in a sage like manner while Asia let out a breathe relief and Lala looked on in confusion.
Just then the classroom door opened and in walked Matsuda and Motohama, each sporting bruises and an uncomfortable look. Seeing the two, Lala stood up and nearly ran over to them with a smile on her face as she asked, "Hey! Have you two seen Ise?"
The perverts looked at each other and grimaced for a second before turning back to the pink haired girl. "Well," the bald headed of the two began nervously, "we did see him a little while ago but…"
"It's best not to go near him for a while," the glasses wearing perv finished for his pal while adjusting his glasses.
"Huh?" the alien princess said with a look of confusion evident on her face. "Why?"
"Yeah, why is that?" Risa asked, as she and the others made to join the boys and Lala.
"It's just…he didn't look to be in the best mood when we saw him," Motohama said, trying to explain the situation.
"Yeah," Matsuda spoke up and nodded at his pal's words, "and let me tell you from firsthand experience, when Ise gets like that, you best hope that you didn't do anything to piss him off."
"Is Ise-san going to be OK?" the former nun asked with a worried look in her eyes. She knew firsthand how far the boy of her dreams would go when he was pissed off and it made her concerned to think that he was going to go charging into danger.
The other two male perverts looked at each other with worried expressions of their own before looking back to the blonde. "Well…it's Ise ya know," the former athlete began, "I mean…he's tough and he knows when to get out of danger…I think…"
This did very little to reassure the devil as her eyes widened even more. Shaking her head at the boy's words, Aika put a reassuring hand on her friend's shoulder as she said, "Don't worry about that idiot, even he knows when not to put his life in too much danger. He'll be fine." She then turned to her comrades and asked, "Right guys?"
"That's right!" Mio answered in an enthusiastic manner.
Risa smiled in a confident manner while giving a thumb up to the girl. "I've known that guy for a while and he's smarter than most give him credit for. He'll be fine."
While this did help Asia a little bit, there was still a bit of uncertainty on her face. "Still…"
Seeing this, Lala smiled and leaned down towards her new friend and said, "Don't worry Asia, I'll go find Ise!" And with that said, without waiting for any other reply, the pink haired girl ran straight out of the classroom and down the hallway.
"Ah!" the blonde exclaimed in shock, "Lala, we still have class!" However, just before she was about to run after the alien princess, their teacher showed up and told everyone to sit down. Sighing, the Perverted Trio (in this case Duo) and the Triple H Girls went to go sit at their desks while Asia looked back and forth between the door and her desk. The blonde then sighed before making her own way back to her desk. 'Please find Ise-san and be safe, Lala. May the Lord ble-Ah!'
Meanwhile, with said pink haired girl, Lala had just finished running up the stairs and made her way up to the school's roof. She then proceeded to stand on top of highest point before looking around the entire school grounds in an attempt to find the Earthling. "Huh, I don't see him anywhere. Where do you think he went Peke?"
"I wouldn't have the slightest idea Lady Lala," her companion replied as she also tried to locate the pervert who had not only won the feelings of her creator but also swore to be her protector. "But out of curiosity Lady Lala, would it not be better if we were to find Lord Issei when he has calmed down?"
The pink haired girl smiled while shaking her head. "No, I mean, Mama always calms down Papa when he goes into a rage so I should be able to do the same."
"True, the queen is always the one to calm down his highness when he has a temper tantrum," Peke acknowledged, "but his highness and Lord Issei are two completely different people. How do you know you will be able to calm him down?"
Lala raised her left arm in the air before grabbing it with her right as she said, "I just do!" The costume robot could not help but sweatdrop at this answer. Her companion was a genius at technology and other things but this field may not be one of them. The alien princess then proceeded to reach into her shirt pocket and retrieved her D-Dial. She then pressed a button before holding it out in front of her. "And I know the perfect way to find him!" Just as before, a light emanated from the screen of the device before dying down to reveal some kind of invention. This time, it appeared to be a small robotic dog that any girl would just find adorable. "Behold! I present Sniffy-Sniff Tracer-kun!" She then bent down a little before reaching into her shirt once more as she said, "With this, I'll be able to find Ise no problem!" The alien princess then proceeded to pull out-
"Lady Lala! Is that-?!"
Lala nodded at the question her costume robot did not even finish. For you see, held above the robotic dog in the young girl's hands was a pair of Issei's underwear. Whether they were clean or not was another problem all together.
"Lady Lala, you should not be holding something that flilthy!" Peke scolded, her own face blushing as evident by the now red hairclip.
Ignoring the words of her companion, Lala held the item with Issei's scent on them in front of her invention and said, "These have the scent of the person I need you to find. OK?"
"Right!" the robotic dog replied while nodding. It then proceeded to sniff the underwear before turning away and sniffing the air. All of a sudden its eyes lit up and it said, "Scent located!" And with its target's scent known, the dog began running towards the stairs.
Smiling Lala began running after it, proud of her work. Meanwhile, Peke had just remembered something about the invention her mistress was using. "Ah, if I remember correctly that was the invention you used to track down Zastin when he ran away from you back at the palace."
"Yep," the pink haired girl replied jubilantly, thinking back on all the 'happy' memories she spent with Zastin and another girl her age.
"I believe that you also used it to find him much quicker when you wanted to prank-I mean, test a new invention on him. I see, this should lead us straight to Lord Issei."
As she reached the bottom of the first set of stairs, Lala watched as the dog turned right and continued running until…
"Ah! What is this? A dog?" a certain red haired devil asked in shock as a dog began sniffing her, a blush present on its face.
"Ara ara, such a naughty little doggy isn't it?" the red head's black haired friend commented quite jokingly as the dog also sniffed her.
"Scent located!"
Seeing this made Lala's jaw drop a little before she frowned a bit and exclaimed, "Be serious about this!"
As he continued to wait in the athletic equipment storage room, the being disguised as Taizou Motemitsu looked at the still unconscious Earthling. To him, she was equally as delectable as Lala, perhaps even more. 'Maybe after I get that guy to give me Lala, I can take her as well,' he thought while licking his lips a bit. It wouldn't hurt to have some…choices would it?
However, before he could make another move, the door was slammed opened and light poured into the room. Turning around, the male(?) saw the Earthling known as Issei Hyoudou stand a short distance away from him with an expression filled to the brim with rage.
Smiling in a smug manner, the being said, "Ah, you got here much quicker than I expected. I was kind of hoping you'd be slower."
Not even bothering to acknowledge the guy before him, ther brown haired devil's eyes shifted right over to the form of Yui. She appeared to be unconscious as well as clothed (thank Maou) while being constrained by some kind of robotic tentacle device. "Yui!" he exclaimed in worry before beginning to move over to her.
Seeing this, the other male said, "Uh uh uh, I wouldn't think about it." He then raised his hand to reveal some kind of small remote before pressing a button on it. Then, Issei watched as the tentacles began to move around the knocked out Yui, going in and out of her uniform, causing her to blush even while unconscious.
"Yui!" Issei cried out once more before gritting his teeth and stopping in place. He then turned his attention onto the other male while saying, "Who the hell are you?! I know that Motemitsu would never stoop to something this low."
The male taking on the form of the third year began a low sounding chuckle before increasing in volume. Then, before the young devil's very eyes, the other being began to change shape. His once human skin turned into a light green color as well as being more reptilian. His ears became much larger and similar to an elf while his body grew a bit in size. When he finished his transformation, he let out his blue colored tongue while also laughing. "Gihihihihi, the name is Ghi Bree! Issei Hyoudou, I'll say this once! Relinquish Lala Deviluke to me!"
"…What?" Issei asked, confused by both the transformation and the statement.
"I am the one who shall marry Lala and become the future king of Deviluke!" the green alien exclaimed, "I won't allow some scumbag like you to acquire that title! If you do it, I'll let you have your friend back! But…" He then smiled a lecherous smile that bordered a bit too much on the edge of forbidden territory for the devil. "If you don't, that's fine with me as well."
However, Issei didn't respond to the alien's threat. All he did was lower his head until his bangs covered his face, preventing anyone from seeing his expression.
Seeing the human's lack of response, Ghi Bree continued to try and provoke the male in front of him as he said, "Come on, it's not that hard of a choice. I'm not known for my patience ya know."
In another universe, another young boy who was connected to the pink haired alien would have first thought about the consequences if he was to hand her over to the alien before him.
However, that was not Issei Hyoudou's first thought. His first thought was far different than his counterpart. "You mean to tell me," the brown haired boy began softly, surprising the alien a bit, "that you kidnapped Yui, put her in some kind of…sick machine, tormented her body, and you want to do the same to Lala?"
"Of course," Ghi Bree replied, "I mean, Lala's cute and all, but her personality is far from what I want in a girl. I'll train her so that she fits my type."
"…That's the shit right there," Issei replied in a low tone of voice, "you think I'll just allow that?"
"Huh?" the male alien asked in confusion.
"Not only are you willing to do such things to Lala, but you've done a horrible act to my friend," the pervert continued, his tone not rising even though his words would make it seem as if it was. Issei then raised his face up to look Ghi Bree right in the face. The alien had to use every ounce of willpower not to flinch or look terrified at the boy's expression being sent at him.
For Issei Hyoudou was looking at him with a cold fury that he had only seen once before. "I hope you counted your blessings because I'm never going to forgive you."
'W-what's going on?!' Ghi Bree thought in fear. 'Why isn't he afraid of my form?! Why isn't he giving into my demands?!' However, before those questions could be answered…
"Ise!"
A familiar, jubilant voice filled the air of the extremely tensed equipment room while a certain pink haired girl latched herself onto the devil's back.
"Lala?!" Issei exclaimed in confusion as he realized the feeling of the girl's breasts against his back, breaking his serious expression. He then turned around to look at the smiling alien's face, bringing a feeling happiness back to his body. "What are you doing here?"
"I was looking for you and-" Lala then cut herself off as she noticed a green skinned alien and black haired Earthling in front of her. "Ghi Bree!" she exclaimed in shock. "And Yui, too!" An angry look, or what she could muster, appeared on the alien princess' face as she yelled, "Ghi Bree, what did you do to Yui!?"
"He knocked her out and put her in that machine," Issei replied, his serious expression back on, "he then demanded that I give you to him in exchange for her."
"He what?" Lala asked, shocked but not surprised to hear such a thing. She then glared as hard as she could at the alien. "You're nothing but a big bully! I hate you!" The girl then pulled down her eyelid before sticking her tongue out at the other alien in a rather childish manner.
Ghi Bree frowned at this statement. "Lala…shut up!" His body was then engulfed in a strange black aura, causing strong winds to appear within the room. However, neither Issei nor Lala faltered from the winds. "If you tell me such things then I will show you the true face of hell!" When the winds died down and the aura around him was gone, standing in the alien known as Ghi Bree's place was a much stronger and larger version of him. He smiled smugly as if he believed that he had won. "And this isn't even my final form!" To him, this was an unshakable plan. He had used this form to intimidate his foes into submission before having his way with the women. It was flawless, it was brilliant, it was-
"You going to keep talking," Issei said as he walked forward, the Boosted Gear appearing on his arm, "or are you going to get your ass kicked?"
-not working! Instead of looking scared, the Earthling was just glaring at him like he was no threat at all. 'What's going on?! Why isn't he scared?! Well…time to push it up a notch!' This time, Ghi Bree let out a loud scream as steam began to form around him and his body began to grow much larger. "Since you asked for it, I'll give you my super serious form! I hope you're ready Earthling!" he exclaimed, trying to make himself look bigger.
However, Issei was still not scared of the alien before him. Instead all he did was whisper behind him and say, "Lala, when I charge this guy, I want you to grab Yui and run."
"What?" Lala asked while tilting her head in confusion.
"Lord Issei, are you asking Lala to save herself and your friend while you stay and fight?" Peke asked in a concerned tone.
"I don't know how tough this guy is, but…" He then shifted his eyes onto Yui, which softened for a few seconds before hardening once more as they shifted back onto the monstrous looking alien. "All I know is that if Yui and you can get out of here, I will have no problems holding back. Because this guy made the mistake of pissing me off by hurting Yui and trying to hurt you!"
"Ise," the pink haired alien said, looking at the boy with pink cheeks and a bit of admiration.
Seeing the Earthling still not backing down, the green skinned alien continued to try and make himself bigger by puffing up his chest and saying, "I'll have you know that I can split this planet with just one punch in this form!"
Gripping his fist with the familiar sound of [BOOST] coming from the Boosted Gear, Issei replied, "Then I guess I'll have to match fists with that." He then began to charge forward while raising his fist high and letting out a fierce cry. "AHHHHHHHHH!"
Ghi Bree then raised his own clenched fists and gritted his teeth, trying to prepare himself for the oncoming fight. However, just when the two were about to meet…
"I'm sorry!"
Everyone froze in place as they heard this. Lala, who had made her way over to Yui, looked on in confusion. Issei, fist high in the air ready to pummel the alien, looked on in confusion. And Ghi Bree?
His fists were covering his face while he leaned back a bit with a scared expression before shifting to a nervous look and finally a cocky look. "I said, even if you beg for it, I'll never apologize!" Hopefully, his bluff would work.
However, Issei merely looked at the buff looking alien before quickly sending a punch into the other male's gut. Ghi Bree's eyes widened and his jaw dropped at the punch. He bent over a little and covered his stomach while attempting to catch his breath. The alien then took a step back before accidently stepping on a pole, causing him to fall backwards and land on his head. "AHHHHH!" he cried in pain while rolling on the floor as he clutched his head.
Meanwhile, Issei, Lala, and Peke watched the almost comedic spectacle. The pervert then stared at the larger alien with a deadpan expression as he thought, 'He's nothing but a wuss! I got all serious for nothing!'
Then, steam began to rapidly pour out of Ghi Bree's body and, much to the confusion of the three, began to shrink until he barely came up to Issei's knee. He was still rolling around clutching his head until he noticed that he was no longer huge and buff. "Ah!" he cried out in fear.
"Ah," Peke began in an understanding tone, "he's a Balkean."
"Balkean?" the brown haired devil asked in a confused tone.
"Right, his species are exceptionally skilled in mimicking other individual's appearance although their bodies are quite frail."
Issei looked at the tiny alien once more. 'Well that makes sense.' The Earthling then proceeded to bend down until he was much closer to the now smaller Ghi Bree.
Seeing the boy he tried to swindle, Ghi Bree put his hands together as tears fell down his face. "P-please don't hurt me!"
As he watched the tiny alien beg for mercy, Issei couldn't help but sigh. "You know, beating up a person this tiny just doesn't feel all that right." Ghi Bree let out a breath of relief as he heard this.
"On the other hand…"
Upon hearing the cracking of knuckles, the small green alien looked back up at the taller Earthling and began to sweat as he saw a vicious smile form on the brown haired male's face. "With what you did to Yui and what you were going to do to Lala…I'll get over it." He then looked over his shoulder a bit before asking, "Lala, do you mind removing Yui from that machine? I'll just be a few minutes."
"OK!" the pink haired girl exclaimed before making her way back over to the still unconscious girl and begin removing her from the tentacles.
Leaning back a little in fear, Ghi Bree looked up at the demonic looking Issei and weakly said, "M-mercy."
"So sorry, but I appear to be fresh out of that."
What incurred next was a beatdown so gruesome that it was not allowed to be shown. As her mistress finished removing the black haired girl from the device, Peke could hear the screams and punches that were being delivered. 'Well, at least now I know what happens when Lord Issei's loved ones are hurt,' she thought to herself, not even daring to look on at the carnage behind her.
After a few minutes, Issei walked over to the two girls holding the now unconscious pile of bruises known as Ghi Bree in his hand. He smiled as he saw that Yui was unharmed before looking at the alien in his hand. "So now that that's over, what do we do with this?"
Cupping her chin and thinking for a few seconds, Lala snapped her fingers and brought out her D-Dial before bringing out what looked to be a small toilet, much to the pervert's confusion.
"W-what…what is that Lala?" he asked.
"This is the Flushy-Flush Warp-kun! With this, I can expel him from Earth!" Lala exclaimed proudly.
Issei then looked at the alien he was holding before placing it over the device and dropping him in. Lala then hit the device's switch and Ghi Bree was flushed away, never to be seen again by the pervert or the princess. "Never come back!" Lala yelled to the now gone alien.
"Hey out of curiosity, where will he get sent?"
"I don't know," Lala replied, shrugging her shoulders, "it is similar to the Pyon-Pyon Warp-kun as it chooses a random location off of Earth."
"Hmm," Issei hummed as he held his chin, "off of Earth huh?"
"Ahh," Zastin moaned as he slid into the large bath located on his ship. "There is nothing quite like a nice relaxing bath while looking at a beautiful sight such as Earth." It was then he began to notice small bubble form from the bath. "Hmm?"
Then, a small green alien popped out of the water, looking like it had just been through a grinder. "Ahhhh!" it screamed in fear.
"Ahhh!" Zastin screamed as well, mostly due to shock, "There's a tiny alien in the bath! AHHH!"
Meanwhile, from within the command deck, Smutts and Maul looked at the door before looking back at each other. "Man, Earth is starting to get to Captain Zastion." the red haired Deviluke said to his green haired comrade.
Smutts merely nodded.
Letting out his own relieved breath, Issei walked over and placed his childhood friend onto his back. Once the black haired girl was safely on his back, Issei looked towards Lala and said, "OK, let's take Yui over to the nurse's office. I'll leave and you stay with her. Once she wakes up, tell her that she got attacked and you saw it and stopped it."
Lala merely tilted her head in confusion as she heard this. "But weren't you the one who saved her? Shouldn't you be the one to tell her what happened?"
The devil paused as he heard this before replying, "To Yui, I'm just a pervert who can't defend himself. If she knew what happened today, she'd get curious and try to investigate what happened and that might lead her into more trouble. I'd rather have her think I'm useless and be safe than think more of me and be in danger." With that said, Issei gestured for the pink haired girl to follow him as they began their trek to the nurse's office.
As she walked behind him, Lala could not help but look at the boy with a bit of sadness in her eye as well as confusion.
"Mm…mm…Ise!" Yui cried out in fear as she sat up on the bed she was laying on-
'Wait, bed?' The black haired girl looked at her current situation and noticed that indeed she was lying on a bed located in the nurse's office. 'But…how did I-'
"Yui!" a familiar and bubbly voice exclaimed, startling the poor girl. Then, just as she was about to turn around, someone grabbed her and brought her into a strong hug.
"Deviluke-san?!" Yui asked in confusion. Indeed, for the girl hugging her was none other than the pink haired transfer student. "Why am I in the nurse's office? Why are you here?"
"You got attacked by some intruder and got brought to the nurse's office to rest," Lala replied, "I'm here because I was worried about you."
This caught the class representative off guard a bit. "You…you were worried about me?" Only her family and Issei ever worried about her.
"Mmhm," the pink haired girl nodded happily as she leaned back from the girl a bit, "after all, we're friends right?"
"…Friends…" Yui couldn't help but tear up a bit. No one made friends with her this quickly much less was this familiar with her. This feeling of being called a friend felt…really nice. "Yes," she continued slowly, "we are, Devil-I mean…Lala-san."
This caused the jubilant young girl to squeal a bit before embracing the other girl much tighter.
Then, Yui's eyes widened as she remembered something. "Wait, Lala-san, was it you that saved me?"
Lala pulled back once more before her smile became softer and replied, "Nope, it was Ise."
"…huh?"
As he sat down on the couch in the clubroom, with Lala and Asia sitting beside him, Issei could not help but let out a tired sigh. Today had been quite a long day for him and he wasn't really in the mood to deal with any more craziness until tomorrow.
"Anything interesting happen today Ise?" his lovely master asked as she took a sip of her tea.
"Uh…no?" the pervert offered back weakly.
"Well, something interesting happened to me and Akeno today. Isn't that right Lala?" The red head then sent a narrowed gaze at the smiling alien.
All Lala could do was laugh and rub the back of her head sheepishly. Issei looked between the two in confusion before deciding that maybe it was better not to know.
"So Buchou," Kiba stated as he looked towards his King, "when is this Zastin supposed to come?"
Shifting her gaze onto the blond knight, Rias replied, "I told him to come here around this time. I just hope my directions were enough."
"They were more than enough Lady Rias," a familiar deep voice said, startling everyone in the room. All the devils and the single alien turned their attention onto the windows because there, in all his glory, stood the head of the Devilukean Royal Guard, Zastin. "Now, I believe that I have some questions needed to be answered."
Back on the ship with the other two, Smutts noticed a small blip appear on his radar. He then gestured to his comrade who saw the blip as well. The red head then hit a few buttons on the control panel, bringing up the image of a ship, much larger than the previous one. In fact this one appeared to be one that could house a single person. Maul was about to hit the communication button when he then noticed a symbol on the side of the ship. He looked to his partner before nodding at him, to which the green haired man nodded back.
The ship in question began to make its way down to Earth, specifically touching down in a small forest outside of a certain town, near a certain abandoned church. Walking out from the ship was a young male who was about the same age as a certain pervert. He then pulled out a picture that contained a younger version of himself wearing a rather girly dress and a younger version of a familiar pink haired alien. He smiled as he looked at the picture. "Soon Lala," he said, "soon I will be able to show you just how much of a man I have become. And then…I will expose this Issei Hyoudou for whom he iss…he isss…ah…ah…ACHOOO!"
Omake!
"Teach us! Hyoudou-sensei! Professor Lala!"
"Hi everybody!" Lala exclaimed to the camera, all decked out in her white lab coat and glasses.
"Yo! Hi from the Dimensional Gap!" her partner Issei greeted, wearing a similar outfit to her.
"Welcome to the first episode of Hyoudou-sensei and Professor Lala!" the pink haired alien said in a very cheerful manner. "On this show, we will go into details about things like alien species, key people, or even topics from both To Love Ru and High School DxD!"
"And do note that since we are here in the Dimensional Gap, nothing here counts as official canon!" the pervert confirmed to the anxious viewers.
"Alright then!" Lala exclaimed while pointing the giant screen behind the two. "Today's topic is about the Balkeans!"
"Hey, ain't that creep Ghi Bree a Balkean?"
"Yep!" his partner cheerfully confirmed, "you see, the Balkeans are a race of reptilian like people who developed a technique that allowed them to mimic the appearance of anyone they see."
"This includes body shape, skin color, voice, and other such things," the brown haired 'teacher' continued pointing to each quality as they appeared.
"In fact, many Balkeans were enlisted as spies and scouts during the Great Galactic War! I believe the Devilukean army had a few in their ranks."
"However, there is a down side to their powers," Issei began before a scene of Yui and Ghi Bree disguised as Taizou showed up on the screen, "they can mimic the overall appearance of the individual, but they have to know who they are imitating or else they can be easily found out. Such as when Yui exposed that asshole."
"And that's all the time we got for today!" Lala stated in a jubilant manner.
"Thank you all for tuning in," the brown haired male said while bowing to the audience, "please tune in next time for not only the next chapter of Dragon, Devil, and Deviluke, but also the next Hyoudou-sensei and Professor Lala!"
"From the Dimensional Gap, I'm Professor Lala!"
"And I'm Hyoudou-sensei!"
""Have a wonderful day!""
AN: Guess whose back...back again...Robo's back...tell a friend...guess whose back, guess whose back, guess whose back, guess whose back, guess whose back. Woah! So yeah, I'm back after...this many days! Sorry for the slow update. Good news is that I am not out of college for summer and have a lot more time on my hands! Hooray! So, this means I can write more to my hearts content!
So here we get to see Issei 'fight' Ghi Bree, Lala makes a new friend, Zastin is getting some answers, and a new player has arrived. Things are heating up. When I wrote this chapter, the first part of it was tricky as I had no idea how to start it. But, I knew how I wanted the fight to go down and how I wanted things to proceed so that was easy.
Also, before I get to reviews, I wanted to say thank you to CCPDarkraiRules for reccing this fic and putting it on the DxD TvTropes FanFic rec page! Thanks!
War Historian-Freedom2134: True, he should let them know. Hopefully, they will know...soon...
antifanboy: I'm glad that you enjoy the slow paced development that I am going for here. And I agree that I need to make it so that Issei fits into the universe as well as everyone else does.
autor godz: All I can say on these is that I have a plan.
TheLaughingStalkGuy: Great to know it is a fun read for you!
Evowizard25: Writing their relationship is fun since it opens all sorts of things to do. And I hope this was enough rage beating for you.
Humlet: Well, I was out for a while as here, but I bring you the next chapter! And I do hope this also clears up somethings as well.
ARK. : I'm glad that you enjoyed what I;m doing for Rito and Haruna. One of my main plans was to advance their relationship more. IT moved so slow in the original series so I had to kickstart it a bit. And I'm happy to hear that Zastin's funny bits were good for you. They are pretty funny. As for Yui, well...you'll have to wait and see. All I can say is that you'll never see it coming!
Dazzazzle: Glad you like the ship. Captain Issei is proud to have you aboard.
dad90: Spoiler- he got his ass kicked and development happened!
Guest: You will have to just wait.
Wargame-sama: I thank you for the compliment.
harlequin320: I will!
TypeSomeWords: Well, her being more of a cultural nut is canon and her being anime otaku is fanon so I wanted to establish what I think. As for Yui's sensei...wait and see.
Randomperson nb2: Glad to know the characterization is turning out real solid. And the interactions are fun to write in all honesty because I can set them up in a way that makes sense. And as for a fight between Gid and Ophis or Great Red...nah.
CCPDarkraiRules: First, I am glad that you enjoy the story and are looking forward to more. Second, thank you for the rec.
Well, I beleive that is everything. All that left is to say thank you so much for reading this chapter. If you liked it, please leave a follow, fav, or review. Go back and check my other stories out and I will see you all in the next chapter. Stay loud, stay proud, stay toasty.
