"N-no you can't be her!" Issei stuttered as he slowly stood up and backed away. He witnessed a lot of people die and for years he thought that the princess was killed, he couldn't think properly after what Kanata did which caused Issei's draconian form start to take over as Issei's wings bursted from his back and his eyes turning to Amber.
"What did you do to me?!" Issei demanded while glaring at Kanata who felt Issei's power slowly start to rise in pure anger. Kanata instinctively prepared himself so if Issei were to attack, he could bring him down. Murayama just sat there in silence at seeing Issei's reaction which confused her drastically. 'Why would he act this way? He was always nice and just recently been even more so.' Murayama thought as a tear escaped her eye which didn't go unnoticed by Issei but he couldn't trust anyone right now.
"Issei calm down. I didn't do anything besides releasing a memory seal on you." Kanata tried explaining only to get a snarl from Issei who held his right hand out opening a tear in space as he gripped Apocalyptic Widowmaker as he strapped it on. Issei unsheathed the blade as his aura increased along with him dawning on the Boosted gear.
(BOOST!) Ddraig's voice boomed even further increasing his power to the point where Kanata was sweating. 'There is no way I will be able to win a fight against him if he decides to attack.' Kanata thought as Issei's power only grew along with his rage.
"You dare fuck with my memory of the only person I ever truly loved?! You bastard!" Issei shouted running forward at Kanata. Lifting his sword to strike Kanata, he quickly stopped at the last moment when Murayama stepped in front of her father with her arms spread out with tears escaping her eyes. Issei backed away while he anger and power dropped dramatically in an instant from the shock of almost killing Murayama if he didn't stop himself.
"W-why Issei?! Why don't you believe I am the princess? Dont you remember my nickname for you?!" She asked in a loud voice. She wasn't screaming but she was loud enough to surprise the males since they never knew her to be this loud. Issei sheathed Apocalypse and turned around with a sad look.
"You may have called me by Ryuu like she did. But if you truly are her then you would understand my position. Everyone I cared for died and now I finally start to move past her and start to love another... only for me to find out that the one I loved is my current girlfriend." Issei explained in a emotionless tone. He spread his wings out of their folded state turning back to her.
"I-I don't understand. Wouldn't you love me more since you found out who I truly am?" Murayama questioned wiping away the tears looking at Issei's emotionless mask that he was displaying.
"Its complicated. It... It just is confusing me and I need time to clear my head... Forgive me." Issei says muttering that last part to himself but Murayama heard it loud and clear as he flew into the sky disappearing into the night.
"ISSEI!" Murayama shouted as she tried to run after him only for her father to grab her forearm holding her back. Turning back to her father with an angry look, she shouted at him "LET ME GO I NEED TO HELP HIM!"
"You can't! Let him be for now. Im sure he will come to terms with himself and his feelings and come back to you." Kanata said bringing his daughter into a hug as she cried her heart out.
-With Akeno-
As Rias and Akeno were exchanging goodbyes, they felt a huge spike of power coming from the forest. However, instead of charging to see what it was both girls were stuck in place out of fear. They have never felt so much power before, not even Rias' brother has this much power at his command and he is the strongest among the Satan's.
However, just as fast as it appeared the power just vanished causing relief to flood both girls systems. As they collected their thoughts, both girls looked at each other and quickly started to go to the location but not before seeing something approach them in the air. Akeno got into her priestess clothing while Rias prepared herself but both girls widened their eyes as they saw it was Issei approaching.
"Oh it was just... ISSEI!" Akeno shouted as Issei smashed into the tree in front of the clubroom destroying the tree. In a hurry, both girls ran over to him to check on him when they noticed that he was unconscious.
"Akeno, lets get him inside and check for injuries. Ill call Kiba and Asia to come back." Rias stated as she started dialing numbers into her phone while Akeno used a magic circle and teleported both her and Issei into the club room. Akeno lifted Issei up onto the couch with his wings and tail pointed outward so they didn't get damaged while on the couch. Akeno grunted took off the sword on Issei's back and tearing Issei's shirt open to check for any injuries but only found a massive bruise on his chest but deduced that he obtained it when he hit the tree. She quickly examined him before relaxing just as Rias, Kiba and Asia walked into the room.
"Any injuries Akeno?" Rias asked her queen who stood up and shook her head. Rias sighed in relief while they heard a grunt. The group looks back at Issei who started to go into a ball while his eyes were closed tightly and his hands forming fists. Kiba walked forward and gently shook Issei's shoulder.
"Issei, are you O- AH!" Kiba shouted in pain as Issei's eyes snapped open and grabbing Kiba's arm doing a mixed martial arts move slamming him to the ground while Issei pinned him. The girls looked on in horror at what Issei was doing but Akeno noticed his eyes were red instead of his normal brown of Amber he displayed at the rating game.
"Issei what is going on?!" Rias demanded. Issei looked up with pure rage that made Rias take a few steps back with Asia in hand at the rage he was displaying.
"Oh no." Rias muttered as Akeno just stood at his side next to the window as a white figured was approaching that went unnoticed. Issei swung his tail in the back ground while his wings flew open as he snarled at the group.
"ISSEI!" Everyone heard just as Vali smashed through the wall next to Akeno slamming into Issei the wall. Vali slammed his forearm against Issei's throat pinning him to the wall just barely holding him there. Turning to everyone else, Vali growled lightly from what is going to happen. "Place a barrier and get the student council here to reinforce it! Something happened to trigger his past feelings. Ill explain more later now GET A MOVE ON!" Vali shouted as Issei picked his feet up and slamming them into Vali's stomach launching him through the way he came in. Issei ignored everyone else as he charged and ran out the window after Vali after picking up Apocalypse.
Akeno and Rias looked at each other and nodded, "Asia call Sona and heal Kiba up. Akeno and I are going to place up a barrier to try and make sure none of the fighting gets out of hand." Rias declared getting a nod from the blond haired girl as she ran to kiba and started to heal him. When the were outside, they saw blurs of red and white classing across the nights sky.
"Rias we need to hurry!" Akeno shouted as the duo sprawled out their wings and flew to the entrance of the school summoning a huge purple barrier as a magic circle appeared. Coming out of it was Sona and her entire peerage that were all hanging out since it was only 9:00 at night.
"Rias... what's going on here?" Sona asked as everyone without being told quickly helped reinforce the barrier that was produced.
"Issei and Vali are fighting. I don't know the specifics but Vali said Issei is in a rage over something about remembering his past? I dont know but Issei is in a huge rage and will attack anyone. So Vali told us to whip up a barrier so the fight didn't go all over the city." Rias said in a panic not knowing what to do since she know's what to do about Fallen angels and Angels in her territory along with Stray devils. Not dragons that were in a pissed off state of mind with the intent to kill anyone in their line of sight.
Inside the barrier, Vali was flung into another tree by Issei who is puffing his chest up. 'Oh crap! Albion!' Vali shouted in his thoughts as he crossed his arms.
[Vanishing dragon balance breaker!] Albion sounded as Issei unleashed a powerful fire breath attack at Vali in that instant. Vali's armored equipped just as Issei's attack hit him causing an explosion to occur and shake the school grounds. A snapping twig caught Issei's attention as he saw Asia helping Kiba to the edge of the barrier since Issei hurt him pretty badly in the split second that he had him pinned. Issei roared and charged the duo with his claws at his side only to get Vali's foot into his side launching him into the ORC's clubhouse demolishing the place as Vali shot a Dragon shot into the building causing it to explode. However the attack seemed hopeless as Issei climbed out of the rubble having only minor scratches on his scaly skin.
"GO NOW YOU TWO!" Vali shouted as he ran at the collapsed building not letting Issei have any moment to recover. Vali jumped into the air sending a left legged kick towards Issei's head only for Issei to duck and send a fist that planted itself into Vali's gut. Issei wasted no time as he sent his right hand across Vali's helmet shattering it to pieces while also knocking him to the ground. Issei grabbed the back of his armor and spun around before letting go sending Vali through the school building.
Issei held his left hand out as a softball sized orb appeared similar to the dragon shot. Vali stood up looking at the entrance of which he came in from seeing Issei's orb summoned. [Vali he is out for blood and death. I suggest you do the same and don't hold back.] Albion informed his host.
'Im not going to kill him Albion!' Vali shouted to Albion getting a sigh from the dragon. [Not what I mean. I dont want you to kill him, this is so YOU don't die. He is unleashing everything and if you don't go all out you will die.] Albion said roughly. He wouldn't admit it but Albion liked the current host of Ddraig as he was a big influence of Vali's life. Vali growled as he stood up and a white glow appeared on his back. Once the glow faded, what was shown was Chillrend, the demonic ice sword that Vali found so many years ago. Issei saw this and snarled as the orb before him disappeared. He reached behind him and unsheathed his sword while staring Vali down. 'Divide his power when I give the word.' Vali said as he vanished forward while Issei did the same thing only for the swords of the two clanging in the middle as they struck at each other.
Vali swung his sword back making Issei go backwards revealing an opening that Vali took. Swinging the sword to his right side, Vali expected for it to hit Issei only to be met with the hilt of his blade surprising Vali. Vali grunted as Issei quickly swung forward and was able to cut Vali's unarmored cheek causing a massive amount of burning to happen. Jumping back, Vali held his left cheek with his hand trying to null the burning affect while Issei smirked in satisfaction of being able to injure Vali like he did.
Vali's gaze drifted to the sword Issei wielded and quickly remembered that it was holy in nature despite it's name. 'That sword will destroy me if I let it cut me any more.' Vali thought as he stood up ignoring the pain he felt. [Remember, all you need to do is get a good punch in and I will be able to divide his power. I can feel Ddraig fighting him as well.] Albion stated shocking Vali alittle. 'What do you mean fighting him?' Vali questioned.
[He doesnt have the boosted gear equipped. Ddraig locked it down so he doesn't gain any more power from it.] Albion said as Vali widened his eyes glancing at his left arm noticing that the boosted gear wasn't there. 'So if I am able to get to him and you divide his power. He won't be able to recover any more power? Good.' Vali thought just as Issei vanished from sight. Sensing an attack to his right, Vali raised Chillrend as it clanged against Issei's sword making Issei's eyes slowly turn a darker shade of red. Vali growled at that while thinking of plans to reduce Issei's power.
Vali and Issei struggled against the others sword trying to overpower each other. 'Albion! I have been in turmoil before and I never had this happen so why is he?' Vali asked as he kicked Issei's stomach creating some distance between them.
[Dragon's have a strong feeling towards family so unless he mated with someone, he would only react like this if...] 'If his family was killed!' Vali shouted in rage cutting the White Dragon off. [Correct, so he won't stop this unless he kills the bastard that killed his family.] Albion stated as if Issei's family is already dead which confused Vali.
Vali saw Issei take flight but knew that he couldn't have that sword with him or lives will be lost so Vali used Chillrend like a spear and threw it at Issei. Issei looked down seeing the sword but thought nothing of it until it hit Apocalypse out of his hand making both blades fall to the earth while Vali took flight with great speed snatching Issei's sword sheath. Snarling, Issei sent an axe kick to Vali's chest sending him to the ground with enough force to create a small crater. Issei turned around facing the top of the barrier as his fist was coated in a black flame as he punched it once shattering the whole thing causing the girls that were holding it together to be flown back by the gust of wind that was produced by Issei.
Seeing the opening, Issei flew off completely vanishing into the night's sky again. Vali got out of the crater dusting himself off as he looked down at his left hand that held Apocalypse's sheathe. Vali shed a tear that landed on the sheathe as he walked over to the sword that was on the ground. Bending over, Vali picked up the sword with a huge amount of resistance and sheathed the blade calming it down. Deactivating his balance breaker armor, Vali grabbed Chillrend and sheathed it before he strapped both swords to his back just as the two peerages came along with 2 unexpected guests.
"Where is Issei?!" Murayama asked in a saddened tone while Katase looked at Vali with a sad look in her eyes as well. Vali shook his head getting everyone to gasp, however Vali wasn't done as he took Issei's sword and wanted to test something with it.
"Murayama, this sword I wield is known as Apocalyptic Widowmaker also known to many by Apocalypse. This is the sword that Issei wielded but it increased his power drastically making him go even more insane. I want you to use it, I know he will say the same thing when he is back to normal." Vali explained as Murayama gently took the blade out of his hands as it almost felt like it was vibrating in her hands. She gently unsheathed the blade partially seeing the blade of the sword that emitted power she only heard in legend. As tears fell from her face onto the blade, she sheathed it fully strapping it to her back giving a firm nod to Vali who smiled.
Turning to his girlfriend Katase, he grabbed Chillrend and walked around her and strapped it to her back. "I want you to have my blade. I want you to use it on me if I were to go out and lose control." Vali said but before she could respond, Vali grabbed her by her shoulders gently looking into her eyes. "Please... Just promise me that if I lose control that you will be the one to stop me." Vali said getting a nod from her as he gently kissed her.
Murayama looked towards the sky wanting Issei to come back to her but instead went home like everyone else.

After the events that night, Vali visited Issei's home to find a horrific sight. Both his parents were hung up on the wall with stab marks and holes in their chest right where there hearts should be. Vali instantly left the house after that sight knowing exactly who the culprit of the murders.
It was the next day that shocked everyone as two exorcists by the names of Irina and Xenovia came in and talked to Rias and her peerage of not intervening in the coming battle. However Vali smirked at the duo before going into full blown laughter causing everyone to turn to him.
"Whats so funny?" Xenovia asked with no emotion as Vali looked at her stopping his laughter.
"You both are stupid." He stated plainly getting gasps from everyone including the exorcists. "Listen to yourselves. Followers of the church thinking they could kill a cadre class fallen angel, its laughable!" Vali said laughing some more getting a grunt from Xenovia who tore off the bandage from her sword revealing the excaliber of destruction. Rias gasped seeing it in hopes Kiba doesn't do anything drastic but when she turned to him, all she saw was a tear escape his eye but nothing more. Vali on the other hand started laughing again at the woman.
"You lowly devil! I could end your life with this sword!" She shouted getting Vali to snicker at her. This however only taunted her since she hated people who thought they were too good. "WHY YOU!" She shouted charging at Vali making Rias and her peerage dive out of the way while a glow surrounded Vali. "DIE!" Xenovia shouted swinging her sword downward just as a fist hit her stomach launching her back to the wall across the room. As she hit said wall, she coughed blood up as she fells to her knees with Irina running to as both girls looked up widening their eyes.
"So... do you still wish to pick a fight with me? Since Kokabiel is on the same tier as me at full strength. So if you can't even handle me then you are going to die." Vali said as he walked to the duo. "Hell Im not even in my balance breaker and I was able to do this to you! Even more pathetic." Vali taunted as he watched Xenovia grip her sword standing up taking another swing only for a 'clang' to ring out of the clubroom.
"Nice timing babe!" Vali said with a smirk at the pink haired girl wielding Chillrend who was also holding Xenovia back.
"Thanks hun. Figured I would intervene and save your ass since you like provoking people." Katase said with a light giggle as she easily threw Xenovia and her sword back.
Xenovia growled at the sudden intervention and was about to strike again but quickly stopped seeing the sword she was wielding. "How did someone working for the devils get such a weapon?" Xenovia questioned as she stood up as Katase smiled innocently.
"Working for devils? Oh no you have it completely wrong. I dont work for them sweetie, I am dating Lucifer's son and have a nice relationship with them." Katase said as she turned around kissing Vali's cheek who smiled.
"Where is Murayama?" Vali asked in seriousness noting the lack of her. Katase sighed as she turned back to the exorcists.
"First things first. You two aren't here to fight a war so go so you can do whatever you are here to do." Katase stated coldly as she watched both girls leave the room with Irina bowing before following her comrade. Katase then turned to Vali with a saddened look. "She went home for the day. After what happened with Issei she has been down in the dumps and I don't know what to do to help her." Katase said as she turned and walked towards the door.
"I have to go to Kendo practice so I will talk to you later babe." Katase said with a giggle as she jogged out of the room leaving the ORC and Vali behind.
"Rias." Vali called out to the red haired girl who turned to him. "We will intervene tonight. Cause Issei will be there and I will need to subdue him after the events that have happened." Vali said.
"W-what?! No we can't!" She replied as Vali turned to her.
"Kokabiel is responsible for killing Issei's parents. Kokabiel is the one that is responsible for stealing those swords! Issei is in Dragon mode you could say. He felt the bond between his family break as Kokabiel killed them. Akeno said he came crashing in unconscious correct?" Vali asked getting nods from the group. "Thats when it happened. So now that bond was broke, Issei's dragon side came to the surface and is now on the hunt for the killer. By now he has gained some emotion and control over it but he will still attack anyone even if he talks to you. So we will need to be ready for it." Vali stated as he snapped his fingers causing the room to repair itself.
"Fine Vali. But you owe me for this." Rias said as Vali started snickering.
"You still have 2 favors for me. Issei is out of the debt cause of this incident. Understood?" Vali asked he stopped at the door getting sigh.
"Fine. I understand what you mean. Ill set up a plan with Sona and everyone by this afternoon." Rias stated as Vali nodded walking out of the clubroom.
'Dont worry Issei. We will find him and kill him for you.' Vali thought.
AN: There you have it! Chapter 8 of Twin Heavenly Dragons! I hope you all enjoyed and I hope to see you again on the next chapter.
