Everyone was surprised of the sudden visit of Katarea. Immediately, she charged a powerful, magical explosion on her staff.
"Her magic symbol was the same as the magicians! Don't tell me she was the one who brought them here." Dark Pit noticed.
Immediately, everyone was angered upon realizing the situation.
"You're a perceptive being for a fallen angel. I can tell you have a lot of power inside of you. Too bad you're going to die with the devil kings." She said.
Katarea fired her magic at the leaders. Before the blast hit, Dark Pit quickly summoned his guard orbitars. They deflected the blast to Katarea, who dodged it.
"Nice going, Dark Pit. You have good reflexes with the guard orbitars." Palutena said.
"Save your gratitude to your angel, Palutena. We have a battle we need to deal with." Dark Pit said.
Katarea frowned, knowing Dark Pit was a greater threat. She began to focus on the fallen angel than the leaders.
"Leave her to me. Take care of the magicians everyone." Dark Pit said.
Everyone nodded and wished him good luck.
Rias and Issei quickly went to Gasper's room, fending off any magicians in the way.
"Get out of my way!" Issei said, hurling a small-scale dragon shot at them.
Rias hurled her power of destruction to them, which caused them to turn into dust.
"For using my precious family's power, you will all die for your insolence." Rias said seriously.
{Partner, you and Rias need to reach Gasper immediately. He's acting as a conduit for the magicians to appear frequently.} Ddraig said.
"Thanks for the advice, Ddraig. Let's go so we can free him." Issei said.
{BOOST!}
"Ok! Let's unleash the power." Issei said.
{EXPLOSION}
Issei used the boosted power to give him limited super speed. He compressed his aura into a bubble formation. This allowed him to become a battering ram against the magicians.
"Nice use of the Boosted Gear, Issei. We can make our way to Gasper in no time." Rias said.
"Let's hurry. We're fighting in a stalemate here." Issei said.
Rias and Issei quickly went their way to Gasper's room. They noticed a symbol, which was blocking them.
"A restricting magic seal... These magicians anticipated us from coming. It's a strong seal that can't be broken from devils. Not even an Ultimate-class devil would break it…" Rias said.
"Does that include dragons?" Issei asked with a smirk.
{BOOST x10!}
Issei forced his sacred gear to boost at a large force. He then compressed his aura into his fist. The aura surged wildly on his arm. With a loud grunt, he punched the door open with enough force to shatter the seal and the door with it. It created a powerful blast that staggered the magicians.
"What was that power?" One of the male magicians asked.
"I don't know... The seal was supposed to ward off devils." another female said.
"You fool...! Didn't you take account of a dragon's power!? That boy shattered the seal like it was nothing!" A male magician said.
The blast from Issei's punch created a smokescreen, blocking their sight. The smokescreen cleared, revealing Issei with his Boosted Gear equipped.
"The Boosted Gear!? We didn't think you possess it!" One of the magicians said in shock.
"That'll be the least of your worries. Now release Gasper, or we'll be forced to use violence." Rias said.
"Don't come any closer, child of Gremory. Otherwise, this bishop you hold dearly will die." A male magician threatened.
Rias growled but not as loud as Issei. She looked at Issei, who showed an angered face.
"Want me to give you a SWIFT DEATH THEN!?" Issei asked in anger.
Immediately, a miracle happened. The Boosted Gear began to do something.
{WELSH DRAGON BALANCE BREAKER!}
Everyone was shocked of the event happening. Issei attained balance breaker out of fury to protect his new friend.
{Congratulations, Partner. You've attained Balance Breaker. The bonds you share with the people you met acted as the catalyst to help achieve this state. However, you can only use it for 10 minutes.} Ddraig said with pride.
"That's enough time for me. My own feelings... I will protect the people I care for, even if it kills me. I am THE RED DRAGON OF HOPE!" Issei shouted.
The magicians couldn't believe what happened. A human with no backgrounds or talent with magic, was able to achieve the impossible. Issei quickly used the shared power from Dark Pit to freeze everything.
{TIME STOP!}
The flow of time stopped and everything stood frozen. Only Issei was moving. With swift speed, he pushed the magicians with a powerful open palm thrust. The effect of the attack caused the bodies of the magicians to slowly fly off. Issei cancelled the time stop, making the magicians fly off, crashing through the window.
"That takes care of them. Gasper, do you want to protect the people you care for!?" Issei asked seriously.
"Yes... I want to protect the people I care for! I don't want to be a burden anymore!" Gasper shouted.
Issei began to dispel his balance breaker. He then focused on his newly acquired sword.
"ASCALON!" Issei shouted.
{BLADE!}
The Boosted Gear shifted into a katar. Issei then proceeded to cut his right hand to draw blood. He then hurled drops of his blood to Gasper near his mouth.
"Then take my blood! It will control your Forbidden Balor View and stop the magicians from coming!" Issei shouted.
Gasper was reluctant, but he overcame his fear of the vampire race. He made his tongue reach out to the closest drop of blood to him and licked it off. Within a second, Gasper's body disappeared into a cloud of bats.
"Where did he go?" Issei asked in wonder.
"This is his special ability. Upon consuming blood, he embraces his vampiric powers. The bats will feed off the opponents' magic and blood till they are knocked out." Rias explained.
"Nice use of the bats, Gasper." Issei said with a prideful smirk.
Outside Gasper's room, the magicians were ready to ambush Issei and Rias. Upon opening the door, a cloud of bats appeared and swarmed them.
"These bats... They're from that vampire kid…" A male magician said in surprise.
"He's feeding off of our magic and blood! He's trying to shrivel us!" A female magician shouted.
The magicians tried to shake the bats off but they were blinded by the swarm. They could struggle no more as the magicians fell unconscious.
"I'll protect the people I care for! Leave these guys to me, Issei-sempai. Go to Kuro-sempai, quickly!" Gasper said.
Issei nodded and flew off to meet with Dark Pit.
######
The three faction leaders, along with everyone else, were fighting the magicians one by one.
"Be careful Pit. Their magic is just like ultimate devil class." Palutena warned.
"Got it. I'll deal with them." Pit said.
"I'll help out as well. Phosphora, help Pit with those magicians." Viridi ordered.
"I'll have a little fun with them. Although I could question how they had a nice figure, I wouldn't want my darling Pit to be allured by them." Phosphora said in a teasing tone.
"Quit with the teasing and help me out here" Pit said blushing.
"Aww... I love it when you blush like that." Phosphora said with a giggle.
Palutena and Viridi used their magic and power to help ward off the increasing number of magicians.
Kiba used his Balance Breaker to fight back with increasing force. Xenovia summoned Durandal to handle the situation. Akeno summoned lightning to electrocute the magicians in the sky. Sona's peerage also fought back.
"This isn't good... What the... These are bats... GASPER! Force your sacred gear to your will! It'll close off the summoning seal in the sky!" Dark Pit said.
Gasper managed to achieve control of the Forbidden Balor View. Immediately, the summoning symbol disappeared, causing most of the magicians to disappear.
"Nice going, Gasper. I'll take it from here." Dark Pit said.
"Thank you for encouraging me, Kuro-sempa.i" Gasper said.
Dark Pit began to focus on his battle with Katarea.
"That was a clever trick to do. Using the meeting point of the three factions as your target area for assassination. How low would you go as a devil?" Dark Pit asked rhetorically.
"Shut up, you fallen swine. I don't have time playing with maggots like you. A peace conference with the enemies makes me sick to my stomach." Katarea said.
"Feeling's mutual on seeing you trying to harm others as well. Bad move, you stinking devil." Dark Pit insulted.
"Insolent pest! You will suffer from my wrath." Katarea said.
"Try and struggle while fighting me. You'll be wasting your strength." Dark Pit said.
"Dark Pit-kun, let me help fight along with you." Raynare said.
"This person is very tough, Raynare. You won't stand a...!-"
To Dark Pit's shock and amazement, Raynare's wings started to glow brightly. A golden guard was placed on the apex of her wings. Her aura shined with a bright, pink glow.
"Raynare, you became an archangel... How?" Dark Pit question in amazement.
"I asked for Xenovia's and Irina's help to train me. They did some training with Asia as well." Raynare said.
"Impressive display of power, you fallen whore." Katarea said.
This made Dark Pit freeze momentarily. A sudden surge of anger went to him.
"Care to say that again?" Dark Pit said in anger.
"She's a fallen whore, and the same one whom I wanted dead." Katarea answered.
Dark Pit subconsciously summoned his Chaos Gear. The yellow gem began to glow in sudden flashes.
"Shut up." Dark Pit said in a low growl.
"Oh? Did I touch a nerve just because I called her a whore? How amusing!" Katarea taunted.
"Shut up...!" Dark Pit snarled.
The gem began to glow brighter with each pulse. Raynare was also angry.
"I wonder how the other people in the Old Satan Faction would like to see her while being raped." Katarea said with glee.
"SHUT UUUUPPPPP!" Dark Pit yelled with fury.
{WESTERN DRAGON BALANCE BREAKER!}
"KATAREAAAAAAAAAAA!" He shouted with intense rage.
Everyone felt the incredible shockwave race across the land.
"What is this power...!? Is that Dark Pit!?" Viridi questioned in shock and fear.
"His aura is monstrous...! Something must've made him snap." Palutena said.
The three faction leader watched in shock as Dark Pit's power radiated throughout the land.
A blue shockwave spread out towards Issei's and Rias's position. They knew who it belonged to.
"That's Dark Pit...! Something must've happened." Issei said.
"We have to head back to the leaders quickly." Rias said.
She summoned her teleport magic circle with Koneko and Gasper, who materialized from the bats.
"Raynare, there's a change in the battle… You'll fight alongside with me to kill this woman." Dark Pit said.
"Let me have some of your power. She won't stand a chance against two dragon emperors." Raynare said.
{CHAOS TRANSFER!}
Raynare screamed in ecstasy as the power flooded in her. Immediately, she formed a pseudo Balance Breaker form.
"A pseudo Balance Breaker!? How is that possible!?" Katarea questioned.
"You're a fool to taunt someone who's powerful than you, foolish devil." Dark Pit said with rage.
Raynare dashed forward and punched Katarea hard on her stomach. This made her cough out blood from the impact.
"Don't make me a fool, you dirty crows! I have enough power to wipe out the leaders!" Katarea said.
Dark Pit rushed forward and delivered a haymaker to her spine.
"AUGH! MY BACK!" Katarea shouted.
"You're nothing but a weak devil. Because of your callous nature, you deserve a cruel and painful death." Dark Pit said.
"Don't take me for a fool! Eat this!" Katarea said.
She unleashed a powerful ice spell, creating a giant spear of ice. She aimed it to Dark Pit.
"You fool…" Raynare said.
She went to the spear and held on to it long enough to stop its movement.
"Was that supposed to be aimed at us? You're pathetic." Dark Pit said.
Raynare then forcefully clamped her hands on to the spear, shattering it like glass. She then aimed a spear of light that was laced with Tiamat's power. It grew longer, and sharper. She then hurled it to Katarea, which pierced her body and hit a tree before exploding.
"My body... HOW DARE YOU RUIN MY BODY YOU BITCH!? YOU WILL DIE FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!" Katarea bellowed.
Katarea began to use an array of hand-shaped tentacles. They attempted to ensnare Dark Pit, only to catch Raynare on her left wing.
"If I die, I'm self-destructing and taking her with me!" Katarea said.
"You won't take any lives as long as I live, you wretched devil!" Dark Pit said.
Dark Pit summoned lightning around him. The electricity grew brighter with a loud buzzing.
"RAIKIRI!" Dark Pit shouted.
The katana of lightning was shown in its full glory. This surprised Katarea catching her off guard.
"The Raikiri!? The accursed heavenly sword of lightning!?" Katarea questioned.
Dark Pit focused on the mass of tentacles. He was trying to find a way to sever them without risking an explosion.
'The majority of these tentacles has magic flowing in them at regions which look like nodes. If I even strike one, she'll self-destruct... There has to be an open spot where I can sever them…' Dark Pit thought analytically.
{CHAOS POWER ACQUIRED! CHAOS NULLIFICATION!}
'What timing! It looks like I can try nullification to stop the self-destruction.' Dark Pit thought with hope.
"Let's do this, Tiamat! Chaos Gear, nullify the magic from this object!" He said.
{CHAOS NULLIFICATION!}
Immediately, a pulse of energy rippled in the air. Katarea's self-destruction spell was cancelled.
"What!? My spell is dissipating...! How are you doing this?" Katarea asked.
Dark Pit summoned his Optical Blade and used its Second Shift, turning it into a katana. He was dual wielding the Raikiri and the Optical Blade, intending to finish off Katarea. Using the Raikiri, he created a wave of electricity that severed the mass of tentacles that ensnared Raynare's wing.
"I-Impossible...! I'm a supreme, ultimate-class devil...! I even received power from a snake of Ophis... HOW COULD I BE BEATEN BY A FILTHY CROW!? WHHYYYYYYY!?" Katarea questioned in disbelief.
Dark Pit began to slash in a deadly dance with both swords in katana form. He looked as though he was simply flipping in the air. Dark Pit began to launch Katarea up in the sky. He then flew up with increased speed and proceeded to nose dive to Katarea. With a loud scream, he pierced through Katarea. She groaned in pain as the swords began to kill her. Her body was dissolved by the divine aura of the swords.
"The reason you have lost is your callous personality. Your disregard with the allies around you has been your weakness. This fight is over, Katarea." Dark Pit said seriously.
Dark Pit turned to Raynare, who flew next to him. By then, a white blue appeared in a quick flash. This caught the couple by surprise. The white blur raced to Raynare and impaled her in her stomach. This made her cough out blood. Dark Pit watched with horror as Raynare fell from the air. She was dying from her injuries.
"Raynare...?" Dark Pit said.
It only took a few seconds for him to realize what happened. This made Dark Pit slowly go to Raynare. The white blur stopped momentarily to see what happened. It revealed Vali, who was stained with Raynare's blood.
"How pathetic. For a fallen angel who was strong, she was weak. I'm not even impressed of her strength." Vali said with bloodlust.
Dark Pit eyes glowed with a faint yellow. He slowly went to Raynare, whose body was not moving. He had a brief blank expression. The taunting from Vali only served to rile him up.
"Raynare...? Please get up…" Dark Pit said in denial.
Kuroka who was feeling Dark Pit's pain, dashed and intended to attack Vali. He merely shrugged it off and swatted her down to the ground. Tears of pain and sadness began to seep out of his eyes. He stared at Raynare's unmoving body. Anger began to fester in him with each passing second.
Kuroka felt the aura and raced to Dark Pit.
"Kuro-kun! Don't do it!" She shouted.
The last of the magicians were finally dealt with. Everyone began to notice a blue aura surging throughout the land.
{Partner, it's your friend...! He's slowly going berserk!} Ddraig warned.
Issei nodded. He quickly rushed out with Rias following him.
"Rias, I have to stop my friend from going berserk! He's about to use it…" Issei said.
"Oh no...! Not the Juggernaut Drive…" Rias said with fright.
They raced outside to Dark Pit's position.
Dark Pit's growl was animalistic. He was slowly losing himself to his anger. He slowly walked up to Vali. His hair was shadowing his eyes as he walked ominously to Vali. Unconsciously, the Chaos Gear was summoned.
{Kuroka...}
"Blue Dragon Emperor...?"
{If you value your life and the lives of others, keep away from this area. Get everyone out of here immediately!} Tiamat warned.
Kuroka was shaken by the voice. Reluctant, she left to warn everyone to leave the vicinity.
{As for you White Dragon Emperor, Vali was it? You have made...a fatal mistake…} Tiamat said angrily.
Dark Pit raised his head up to him, revealing his once mahogany eyes now become a gold-yellow. Vali, who saw the eyes made a shocked expression as he noticed the powerful aura spilling from Dark Pit.
'Don't tell me he's going to use that! He's gone berserk…' Vali thought with fear.
Immediately, an explosion of power resonated around the area. The three faction leaders took notice of Dark Pit, who was unleashing said aura. They heard him scream loudly, causing shockwaves. A large beam of magic shot up to the sky.
"This power is monstrous!" Sirzechs said in shock.
"It's going rampant...! We have to stay away!" Azazel said.
"I agree! We need to move away, lest we get disintegrated!" Michael said.
By then, Palutena took notice of the aura signature.
"That's Dark Pit's aura...! What's happening to him?" Palutena questioned with worry.
"I don't know...! The aura feels as though he's succumbing to rage and sadness…" Viridi said.
"Kuro Pit... Why am I feeling such pain from you?" Xenovia said.
Dark Pit was in Balance Breaker form. By then, a series of yellow orbs appeared from him. They all made groaning sounds as though a person was dying. He stood silently as the orbs encircled him. Eventually, a familiar incantation started to speak out in what sounded like two voices mixed into it.
{I, who is about to awaken...}
The orbs took notice as several voices began to ring out.
"The technique's beginning." A male child's voice sounded.
"It's the start of chaos." A female child's voice sounded.
{Am the Heavenly Dragon who has thieve the principles of domination from God.}
Dark Pit's form began to shift into a dragon-like form. His head morphed into an actual dragon's. His hands became actual dragon claws in result.
"It's always the world…" An older male voice said.
"It's always the people…" An older female voice said.
{I despise at the 'infinite', and I sullen at the 'dream'.}
The voices coming from the orbs began to sound louder.
"The world that has wealth to satisfy one's desire…" A female voice said.
"The people who betray one another for their selfishness…" A male voice said.
{I shall become the Blue Dragon of Domination.}
By then, the gems around the draconic Dark Pit began to glow brightly.
"Their greed is sickening…" A male voice said.
"Their lack of love is horrible..." A female voice said.
"NO MATTER THE ERA, PEOPLE LIKE THEM WILL ALL FALL TO RUIN AND CHAOS!" A loud male voice said.
Draconic wings appeared from Dark Pit's back. His own wings became a dark blue in result.
{And I shall consign you to the depths of the azure heavens!}
In seconds, a monstrous roar sounded when the last verse shouted out.
{CHAOS JUGGERNAUT DRIVE!}
(Play Kid Icarus Uprising OST - Chaos Vortex)
The roar was more beastly than humanly. Vali watched with fear as the Chaos Dragon unleashed the forbidden technique in rage.
"Don't make me a fool, Blue Dragon Emperor! I intend to fight the strongest beings!" Vali said.
He then charged a white, destructive blast to Dark Pit. In response, the draconic fallen angel dashed to Vali. With a quick swipe from its claws, he sliced Vali's left arm off. This made him scream in pain.
"GGGRRRRRRAAAAAOOOOOOOOO!"
The beastly roar began to sound out in pure rage. Within the draconic body, Dark Pit was screaming in emotional pain.
"RAYNAAAAREEEEE!"
The three faction leaders, along with everyone else, watched the battle with fear.
"Why is he like this?" Xenovia questioned.
"I understand why." Asia said.
"What is the reason of his pain…?" Xenovia asked.
"He saw Raynare suffer a mortal blow. He's consumed in his rage, wanting nothing but destruction. All he wanst now is to destroy everything…" Asia said.
"It's just like that time with Hades... Dark Pit went into rage when Hades taunted him of his loved one…" Pit said.
"We all witnessed his rage. He won't stop till he's destroyed everything of Vali." Palutena said.
By then, a figure suddenly appeared. She was wearing gothic style clothing. Azazel knew who it was.
"Ophis... Quite a surprise to see you here." Azazel said.
"It's been a while, Azazel, along with the other factions." She said nonchalantly.
Everyone was shocked of seeing the figure. They all began to charge their auras in response.
"You're the leader of the terrorist group called Khaos Brigade. What brought you here?" Sirzechs questioned seriously, raising his aura.
"How petulant... If you attempt to attack me, I can't say the same for your life. I only came here because of him." Ophis said, pointing to Dark Pit.
"The Chaos Dragon, otherwise known as the Blue Dragon Emperor... That's who I'm attracted to." Ophis said.
"Why are you interested on my mate?" Kuroka asked.
"He has a powerful aura in him. His power is too great. I want him to stop, for his pain called me." Ophis answered.
Michael stepped forward. He was on guard for anything.
"What's your purpose of recruiting a bunch of terrorists? You obviously have no desire of this world." Michael asked.
Ophis looked up in the sky. She proceeded to explain briefly.
"A world of silence and peace... I seek to rid the being responsible for stealing my home." Ophis said.
'From what I understand, Ophis lives in a region called the Dimensional Gap. The only other being that would live there is...the Great Red…!' Azazel thought in shock.
"For the moment, I'm here to alleviate the Chaos Dragon's rage. His power is near infinity like mine's. He's capable of outlasting the red and white dragon emperors. If left uncontrolled, he'll be a force to reckon with." Ophis said.
Vali was seething in pain. His arm was forcefully dismembered, causing him to feel tired from blood loss.
{It would be a wise choice to leave him... He's too strong with that power. Not even I would survive the rage of the Chaos Dragon.} Albion said to Vali.
"I'm trying to fight him off, yet he was able to trample me down." Vali said in shock and fear.
By then, Dark Pit dashed to Vali. He used his mouth to bite Vali's remaining arm off. This made Vali angry, forcing him to shift into his Balance Breaker.
"You damn fallen angel...! Using the Juggernaut Drive after seeing your loved one at death's door... How pitiful." He taunted to Dark Pit.
The aura around Dark Pit began to feel more pressured.
An ear-piercing scream was heard from Dark Pit's draconic body. Everyone heard the scream as though Dark Pit was being torn apart. The sound echoed around the academy, making everyone at the vicinity look at the source. They all felt the tormented sound.
"Dark Pit-kun…" Kuroka said in emotional pain.
Ophis took notice of the shift and made a surprised expression.
"We all need to flee from this area, post haste. Someone help the female fallen angel recover." Ophis warned.
Everyone was shocked of Ophis showing such an expression. She quickly dashed to Raynare's body, who still had her pulse, but was very weak. She was able to grab Raynare and rejoin with the faction leaders.
Rias and Issei noticed Dark Pit's draconic appearance. They were all scared of the immense power from him.
"We have to leave NOW! This area's no longer safe!" Issei said.
{We have to snap him back from his rage... Otherwise, he'll keep using the Juggernaut Drive till his life force is extinguished.} Ddraig said.
Issei tried to think of a way till he realized what he needed to do.
"I'll need to get something quickly... It's a special liquid that'll help him, Rias. Ddraig, I'll need your help to stop time and boost my speed so we can get what we need." Issei said.
{We have a plan already, Partner? Then let's put it to action!} Ddraig said.
{DRAGON BOOSTER!}
Issei ran to Dark Pit's house as quick as he could.
{BOOST!}
The boosted power began to help him speed up. This allowed him to use flash freeze everything.
{TIME STOP!}
The whole area was frozen in time. Issei found Dark Pit's house and quickly went inside. Inside, he found the jug containing the rewind spring. He grabbed a small bottle and filled it without touching the water. With it, he quickly went outside and rejoined with Rias. The time freeze was cancelled from Issei snapping his fingers.
Rias, who took notice of Issei's sudden disappearance, was surprised when Issei appeared in a blur, holding a bottle.
"This bottle contains water from the rewind spring. It'll help heal Raynare and the damage done to Dark Pit from the juggernaut drive." Issei said.
{Wise thinking, Partner. The only thing we need to do is to snap him back from his rage…} Ddraig said.
"I know. This is why I'm heading to Raynare first." Issei said.
By then, a distortion in the air appeared. From it, the three factions, along with everyone else came from it. The last person was a young looking girl, who has a blank expression.
"Who is this girl?" Issei asked curiously.
"She's the dragon god, known for its infinite power... Ophis, the Uroboros dragon". Azazel said.
"Uroboros!? The legendary serpent of immortality and infinity?" Issei asked in surprise.
"Yes. The same one. You're quite profound with mythology as always, Issei." Azazel said.
"Spare the pleasantries for later... I have a friend whose gone berserk and needs to be stopped." Issei said.
Dark Pit's screaming caused the chest plate to open up, revealing a glowing yellow core. The draconic power began to fluctuate as the aura gathered in the core.
{CHAOS BOOST X20!}
Vali couldn't move due to Dark Pit using Time stop to freeze him. Having no choice, Vali had to use the forbidden technique himself.
"Damn it... That blast is going to kill me if that connects! I have no choice... ALBION! It's time for the Juggernaut Drive." Vali said.
{An eye for an eye? It may be risky, but you may have a chance.} Albion said.
By then, Vali had a series of blue, white orbs surrounding him.
{I, who is about to awaken,
Am the Heavenly Dragon who has taken the principles of supremacy from God.
I envy the "infinite" and I pursue the "dream."
I shall become the White Dragon of Supremacy.
And I shall take you to the limits of white paradise!}
{JUGEGERNAUT DRIVE!}
Vali and Dark Pit were both in their draconic states. The draconic beings were ready to fight to the death.
Ophis brought Raynare's body, who was still alive, but barely. With little time, Issei made Raynare drink the rewind spring. A miracle occurred as the wounds began to heal from their very eyes. The spring reversed the damage done to Raynare. By then, she woke up.
"Issei... Everyone... What happened to me?" Raynare asked.
"You were almost dead for a minute…" Issei said.
Raynare quickly remembered what happened.
"It was Vali...! He was the traitor who let them in. The magicians, that devil named Katarea... He staged everything." Raynare said.
"Looks like Dark Pit was right all along." Rias said with a melancholy expression.
"What happened to him? His aura feels unnatural…" Raynare asked.
"See for yourself." Issei responded, pointing at the distance.
Raynare and turned to where Issei was pointing. She gasped in shock of seeing the one she loved turned into a beastly dragon. She began to shed tears.
"Why did he become like this…?" Raynare asked in sadness.
"It was his emotions that made him berserk... He cared for you deeply, but upon seeing you at a death-like state, he snapped" Asia responded.
"I'll have to stop Vali... He's only making him angry" Issei said.
Rias pulled out a purple vial containing a pink liquid.
"What is that?" Issei questioned.
"This vial contains the tears of a Phoenix. The Phenex family are known to create said tears." Rias said.
"I understand now...! But why are you bestowing me such an important gift? It's something that has two significant meanings" Issei asked.
"My concern is of you and your friend. I'm also in love with you, Issei... Asia may be the first girl to confess but I want to be with you" Rias said.
Issei was surprised, but nodded. He took the vial of Phoenix Tears and flew off to stop Vali.
"Akeno, I need you to take Kuroka so you can help get Dark Pit back to normal. Please, stop him with anything that'll get his emotion in check" Rias ordered with a melancholy tone.
Akeno was also in a melancholy tone. She carried Kuroka and flew off.
Vali struggled to move from the time stop. By then, the core on Dark Pit's chest was glowing brightly. Vali knew this was a doomsday attack.
{CHAOS LONGINUS DESTROYER!}
A large, azure beam was fired. The beam touched Vali, who was overwhelmed by it. He attempted to use Divine Dividing, only for it to absorb some of the energy. Despite that, he was heavily injured.
"That...was the ultimate attack from the Juggernaut Drive…" Vali asked in shock.
{The Chaos Longinus Destroyer... It's capable of harming even a dragon god. This technique is capable of doing so much damage, anything the beam touches will be shredded to nothingness. Without me, Vali, your body would've disintegrated by now.} Albion said.
"Yeah. I could see that…" Vali retorted.
{You only need to make physical contact with the target so you can use Divine Dividing. Try to at least fire a few rounds so you can recognize the signature.} Albion said.
"Very well... I'll do what I can to make sure Kuro Pit is stopped." Vali said.
Vali raced his way to Dark Pit. He send a kick to the face, momentarily dazing him.
{DIVIDE!}
The power from Dark Pit decreased, but slightly. In response, the Chaos Gear reacted.
{CHAOS BOOST!}
The power overwhelmed Vali. It was too much for him.
{Vali, my wings cannot hold the power. It's too massive for me to handle…!} Albion said.
"What the hell are you doing, Vali?" Issei shouted.
"Hyoudou Issei... Are you trying to interfere with my fight?" Vali questioned.
"We're not here to settle with our personal conflict with our dragons. A third dragon emperor capable of overwhelming us is more of a serious threat than us alone." Issei reasoned.
Near Issei, Raynare flew by. She quickly went to Dark Pit, whose roar sounded more painful.
"DARK PIT-KUN! SNAP OUT OF IT! I'M STILL HERE AND ALIVE! PLEASE, COME BACK TO ME AND EVERYONE! I WANT YOU TO COME BACK AS TO WHO YOU ARE! DARK PIT!" Raynare shouted in tears.
Several drops of tears landed on Dark Pit's draconic face. It caused him to stop roaring and looked at Raynare. With a strained voice, Dark Pit called out.
(Chaos Vortex OST ends here)
"Ray...na...re…" Dark Pit's strained voice said.
By then, Akeno and Kuroka arrived. They both slowly went to him, which got Dark Pit to slowly look at them. From his draconic eyes, tears of sadness were shown.
"GGRRRROOOOAAAAAA!"
A beastly roar of sadness bellowed. The draconic formation began to dissipate. This made Dark Pit appear in his normal form. He slowly floated down to the ground. Raynare, Akeno, and Kuroka surrounded Dark Pit, who was unconscious.
"His life force is nearly extinguished... At this rate, he'll die in a day at most…" Kuroka said sadly.
Akeno and Raynare were shocked and felt tears pouring. They began sobbing uncontrollably from the revelation.
"That would be the case. However, I brought this." Issei said.
Kuroka recognized the liquid.
"That's the rewind spring...! Issei, we need to spread it on him to prevent the effects of the Juggernaut Drive from consuming him." Kuroka said.
Issei poured it on Dark Pit's body. The spring began to restore his life force. He was heavily fatigued from usage of the forbidden technique. He then woke up from his unconscious state and looked at the girls around him.
"Everyone... I'm sorry for losing control of myself... I thought Raynare died…" Dark Pit said.
By then, everyone looked at Vali, who smirked. To their surprise, Vali showed his arms were fully restored.
"How did you restore your arms that fast!?" Dark Pit asked angrily.
"I stole some drops from that so-called rewind spring. I now feel stronger than usual." Vali said.
Vali smirked as he flew up to the air. Issei quickly flew off to fight him.
"You won't get away from this, Vali! This fight is not over!" Issei shouted.
"So you want to fight against me? I got some time to fight you off." Vali said with a smirk.
Vali shifted into his Balance Breaker form. Issei, in response, willfully summoned his Balance Breaker form.
"You want to find someone to fight? Then let's see if I qualify to your tastes!" Issei shouted.
He quickly dashed at Vali, who didn't anticipate the speed. Issei quickly punched Vali on his stomach.
Everyone wanted to support Issei on the fight but Dark Pit held them down.
"Let's leave Issei on his fight for now. A battle of dragons is almost comparable to battling titans. I need to recover from the backlash." Dark Pit said.
"I'm surprised... The rewind spring should've restored your stamina…" Viridi said.
"It didn't. It only restored the life force I nearly used up before dying." Dark Pit said.
"What was that though? That was unlike anything I've seen…" Palutena asked.
"That was the Juggernaut Drive. It's a forbidden technique that uses one's life force, becoming a beast. It's exclusive to the sacred gears from any dragon emperor." Dark Pit explained.
"A technique which uses one's life just to become a dragon... How scary…" Viridi said.
"You all should realize what everything has been going on. If you all just put aside your differences, then you can focus on the main threat!" Dark Pit said with anger.
"How dare you speak with us in such a tone, especially in your condition!?" Viridi said.
Dark Pit made his eyes glow a brief yellow, threatening Viridi to speak out.
"It's no damn lie. All of you, causing scuffles and wars, have decreased your own numbers. You think I haven't been paying attention to the world around me? I will not let another war occur, so long as I'm still alive!" Dark Pit said.
"Dark Pit always had a critical eye when it comes to seeing the reality of the situation... He made his point across to the three factions without hesitating." Palutena said.
"I can't imagine why. He's like a rebellious person, who seeks what he desires. For Dark Pit, he mainly wishes to find solace on Earth." Palutena explained.
"And we've been disrupting his solace ever since... He didn't want anything to do with us... How petulant…" Viridi said.
In rage, Dark Pit summoned his Raijin Palms. He quickly dashes to Viridi, electrocuting her to submission.
"You should shut your mouth, before I make the voltage stronger. Not even a god can withstand the electricity." Dark Pit said menacingly.
Issei dashed and performed an ax kick, which send Vali to the ground.
"Ugh... *cough cough*. You're pretty strong. Almost as strong as that Blue Dragon Emperor". Vali said with glee.
"I'm not backing down from this fight you bastard!" Issei said with anger.
"That's right... Give in to your anger and fight me." Vali said with an arrogant smile.
Issei and Vali continued to fly across the area as they continued fighting. Vali then swatted Issei down to the ground with a powerful spin kick.
"Ugh... He's tough... I can't give up." Issei said with determination.
"Oh? Feeling weak already? Maybe I should hunt down your loved ones. Maybe your parents, best friend, and your girlfriend." Vali said with a smirk.
Issei stopped when he heard that.
Dark Pit was about to fire his next lightning shot on Viridi till he stopped momentarily. He then heard Vali planning something devious. This made him angry as well.
"Vali, you damn bastard... Now you've crossed the line…" Dark Pit said.
Dark Pit's hair shadowed his eyes. He silently shifted into Balance Breaker and flew up to the sky. Before everyone's eyes, Dark Pit's aura glowed. A series of armor appeared on his wings, marking him as an archangel.
"He became an archangel!? How is that possible?" Pit asked.
"He was training non-stop with Issei. Because of the constant training. He got stronger, allowing him to achieve this transformation." Palutena explained.
Issei silently floated in the sky. He heard Vali's intentions to harm his loved ones replay several times. He unleashed his rage, causing a red aura to spout out of him. Dark Pit, who was flying to the dogfight, also unleashed his aura.
"You should change your plans, Vali... That idea of yours will be the downfall of you and your accomplices." Dark Pit warned.
Issei dashed forward and used a haymaker to punch Vali on the stomach. Dark Pit followed with a powerful kick to the face. One could hear a bone snap or two from the pressure.
"Ugh... You two are amazing and strong. I suppose I should even out the area." Vali said.
He then hammer punched Issei and Dark Pit to the ground. With little time, Vali flew up to the sky and his sacred gear uttered two words.
{HALF DIMENSION!}
Vali pointed his hands to the main academy building. Immediately, the building began shrinking to half its size.
"What is this power? The space is being distorted." Kiba said.
"It has to do with Vali's technique... It might do more than bend space." Xenovia said.
"You got it." Azazel said.
Azazel slowly walked to where Issei and Dark Pit are.
"Hey, you two. This technique from Vali is known to bend space against one's will. To make it simple for you, your loved ones' lives are at risk of being halved or even destroyed." Azazel said with a smirk.
Both boys now felt the revelation sink into them.
'My loved ones... Xenovia, Raynare, Kuroka, Akeno…' Dark Pit thought.
'Asia, Rias, Irina, Koneko... Not them…' Issei thought.
By then, a rush of power shot up to the sky. Issei and Dark Pit's aura mingled, making the color a light purple shine in the sky.

"D-DON'T FUCK WITH US!" The boys shouted.
{CHAOS BOOST X10!}
{BOOST X30!}
The immense power flooded the area, canceling the half dimension. Vali was surprised of the boys' immense power. He didn't anticipate the level of power to be overwhelming.
Issei went first and slammed Vali on his face.
"That's for threatening Asia!" He said.
Dark Pit followed with a tai chi strike to Vali's left lung.
"That's from Raynare!" He said.
'What is with them? They suddenly had an immense power boost.' Vali thought in shock, trying to fly away.
Issei followed Vali, unleashing a powerful two kick combo.
"That's from Asia and Irina!" Issei shouted.
Dark Pit followed with a knee strike to Vali's stomach, making him cough out blood. He then bashed Vali's head with a vigorous straight punch.
"That's from Kuroka and Akeno!" Dark Pit said angrily.
Issei followed with a head-shattering hammer punch, which sent Vali down to the ground. Both boys summoned their respective swords to finish Vali.
"Have a taste of our dragon slayer weapons!" Issei shouted.
{Vali, we need to keep away from the weapons they possess now! Dragon slaying abilities are our Achilles Heel} Albion warned.
Vali attempted to leave, despite his weakened state. Both boys immediately summoned their swords.
"RAIKIRI/ASCALON!" The boys shouted.
{BLADE/CHAOS BLADE!}
"And this is from Xenovia/Koneko!" Dark Pit and Issei said.
From their gauntlets, the swords were summoned in their original form. They began to wield their swords and aimed their strike to Vali. Immediately, they dashed and performed a dual slash. A cross-shaped aura spilled out from the dual swing, weakening Vali. The force of the aura shattered Vali's Balance Breaker form.
"Impressive... You overwhelmed my Sacred Gear without letting its effects take hold on you two" Vali said.
Issei and Dark Pit took notice of two orbs from Vali's armor. They both grabbed the orbs till Dark Pit's sacred gear reacted.
{CHAOS POWER ACQUIRED! CHAOS CREATION!}
Immediately, a new technique was created from the sudden change. Dark Pit knew what he had to do.
"Issei, let me see if I can do something about these orbs" Dark Pit said.
Issei nodded and gave Dark Pit his orb. He watched as his friend concentrated on the orbs. Slowly, the orbs began to glow bright in a blue light.
{What is he trying to do, fuse my power to form a new sacred gear or a weapon?} Albion questioned.
{There are some things that you need to know, you whitehead. My comrade only trains for the purpose to protect the people he cares for. From what I know, both Issei and Dark Pit are capable of accomplishing the impossible.} Tiamat announced.
{I can vouch for that. My partner also has been growing strong. His friends have helped him become what he is.} Ddraig said with pride.
By then, the blue glow fainted. From the glow, two European short swords were formed. Both had an intricate design on the pommel, appearing angelic with white wings. A small blue gem was embedded on the base of the sword. From the top center of the blade, a shape of a dragon was shown.
"Impossible... You created a weapon from a fragment by thought alone?" Vali questioned in shock.
"Yeah... That's the Chaos Creation. Allows me to make a weapon from any physical object. Depending on the magic signature, the weapon will be an anti-thesis to the opponent." Dark Pit explained.
Issei took hold of one of the short swords that was given to him by Dark Pit. He sensed something from the blade that felt oppressive.
"Dark Pit... You imbued the blade with dragon slaying magic, haven't you?" Issei said in shock.
"Indeed. Plus, it has the ability to use the Divine Dividing abilities. These swords are known as the Dividing Dragonslayers." Dark Pit said.
Azazel whistled in amazement. The others watched with morbid fascination.
"He created a new dragon slaying sword...! Dark Pit's a powerhouse…" Pit said.
"It's his sacred gear! He's evolving in battle, becoming stronger!" Palutena said.
"From the way he's evolving, it's making him strain his energy... He doesn't have much time to last." Viridi said.
Issei took hold on his sword, while Dark Pit grabbed his own. Both dragon slaying swords were identical in appearance. However, they had a minor distinction of their aura. Dark Pit's tone was darker than Issei's, who was brighter.
"You severely underestimated us, Vali. You want a fight for a lifetime, try and be prepared to survive THIS!" Dark Pit said.
Both boys charged and stabbed Vali, making him scream in pain.
{DIVIDE!}
Both swords divided Vali's power and poisoned him with the dragon slaying magic.
"How is this possible? You two are able to defeat me…" Vali said while being weakened.
By then, a mysterious figure showed up.
"Yo Vali. I see you're in a pickle." The figure said jovially.
"Bikou, what are you doing here?" Vali asked.
"I'm here to get you for a mission. The Hero Faction needs some help." Bikou said.
Dark Pit didn't like the interaction with them. He stepped up to ask questions.
"Who the hell are you and why didn't I sense you?" Dark Pit asked.
"I see the Red Dragon of Hope and the Neutral Fallen Angel are here. I only came here to pick Vali up." the figure said.
'This guy's like a monkey... Unless...' Dark Pit thought.
"Now I know what you are... You're a descendant of the monkey king, Son Goku, aren't you?" Dark Pit asked.
"My my, aren't we perceptive? I wish we could have our little fun, but we didn't plan to stay here." Bikou said.
"Hold on, Bikou. Why are you with the Khaos Brigade?" Azazel questioned.
"Kakaka... I wanted to have a little fun for once. Anyway, we'll see each other some other time." Bikou said.
He then swung his staff, creating a dimensional hole underneath him and Vali. It swallowed them slowly. Before Vali disappeared, his voice sounded out.
"Next time we meet, we'll have our fight again. Make it worth my time." Vali said.
Everyone gathered to where Issei and Dark Pit are. Both boys were utterly exhausted. Before anyone had a chance to assess their injuries, Dark Pit suddenly coughed out blood. Raynare took notice first and went to him in concern.
"DARK PIT!" Raynare shouted.
Dark Pit was feeling faint as he kept coughing blood. He was breathing heavily.
"What's happening to him?" Issei questioned.
"I don't know... He pushed himself harshly enough in this battle." Palutena said.
That's all from here.
