Something just came to me and may or may not continue it depends on the reception and if if someone is willing to help me write it, anyway read and enjoy.
It was a dark as three individuals met in a secluded part of town; normally they would seem to appear like ordinary people but honestly they are not. "Alright so you both, know what we have to do right" said the leader who received nods from the other two folk. "Kill the couple along with the kid; then make it look like simple B&E where it can't be traced back to us" Said the second one.
"Well what are we waiting for lets go" said the third as wings sprouted from their backs. One golden, another black, and the last bat-like as they flew to their objective; unaware that someone has been watching them and recording them all according to their plan.
"Okay entire meet setup on memory crystal check, disguise on check, and finally enjoing a nice Bahama mama until the bloodshed is over check" Said the shadowy figure before enjoying his drink while resting on a lawn chair.
At a regular home in one of the rooms was a young eight year old boy with brown hair that was sleeping peacefully in the bed until heard some noises. He woke up thinking someone was in the house until he didn't hear it them again. He was about to go back to sleep when he heard some crash noises and screaming. Getting up he slowly walked al the way downstairs until he reached the living room. Everything is ruined, the walls shattered, the floor covered with debris and burn marks. But the most terrifying thing they saw was his father on his knees, and two men with dark wings standing above him ready to deal the finishing blow. His father then looked at the boy, and with his last moment he said
"Issei…Run" Then time simply froze in front of the young boy now witnessing the horror in front of him. When it seem to resume the devil slashed his corrupted sword down twice at the male; at first silence then the man's head split into two showing the middle of the brain and the esophagus with his tongue still attached.
"*Alright take care of the bitch will ya" He said to the black feathered figure next to him as he started walking towards the beaten woman and grabbed the child's mother, who started struggling "let me finish this" he said before he threw her at the opposite side of the room. As he walked towards her he pulls out a menacing looking dagger that gave off an eerie glow. He then grabbed her hair and pulled her up.
"No! Let go of me! Help! Somebody Help!" She said as she struggled even more than before.
She then realized it was pointless as the fallen thrusted his dagger in her belly. She was bleeding and in pain and did not wanted her son to expect the same fate. "I-Issei… Run… GET OUT OF HERE NOW WHILE YOU STI-!" then he stabbed the weapon through her neck and carved it around separating the head from the body as it dropped to the ground bleeding profusely.
"NOOO! Mommy!" The boy that the woman called Issei shouted, tears streaming down his eyes. However it wasn't over as they turned their attention to the scared boy. "Hey make this quick will ya" one of them said as the other nodded. He formed a violet glowing spear from his hands and aims it straight at the boy; he flings it straight at and not a second later it impaled Issei in the heart as he screamed in agony. He drops to the floor in a pool of his own blood as the two left the house.
Outside they approached the third member with the golden wings as he landed in front of them. "Got all the valuables?" said the devil. "Yeah and made a point of entry where it looks like a human burglar broke in, so can we go now?" he said as the two nodded and flew away from the murder scene.
When the three were gone the figure watching them approached the house and entered through the front door. He entered the room whistling while observing the massacre before him. "Wow, looks I made the right choice" he said before stopping at Issei's dying body.
The man slowly takes on the form of a well respected but, old man and removes the spear while also healing him. The child wakes wondering what happened when it all came rushing back to him; he looks around to see the mutilated corpse of his parents and weeps furiously.
"Sad isn't it how such horrible things should happen to a nice boy like you, Eh?" the senior asked. Issei continued weeping for quite some time as he was now a orphaned child at the age of eight and had no idea what to do? "What if I was to tell I can give you the ones responsible for their deaths, hmmm?" he said as he pulled out a blue radiant crystal and presented it to Issei.
Issei looked as a projection came out of it showing the men from earlier discussing something of importance. "I don't know why our leaders gave us this mission, we can hardly stand each other" said the angel. "It doesn't matter we will do it regardless because that's who we are" the fallen said as the man ended the transmission and told the boy everything about the supernatural world mostly about the three factions.
"I…wiil turn…their bones…TO DUST!" he said furiously as he smashed the floor causing something deep to awaken him; "their blood will boil when I get my hands on them!" "Oh sure kill them if you must, but why must the leaders of the three factions pay when the societies that created them go unpunished" the elder asked. "Then I promise to avenge my parents and condemn every angel, fallen, and devil to oblivion" Issei declared before something came to mind. "Wait why are you helping" he asked the older gentlemen; "because it is your destiny young Hyoudou, the factions know of their end by you, it being the reason they sent assassins. However they all but insured it now; also since you have this" he said pointing the cane at his arm revealing a red scary looking gauntlet.
"That my friend is Boosted Gear a sacred gear and one of the 13 Longinus I told you about but, you will need more than just that which is why I'm giving you these" the man pulled out a black tunic with the face of a dragon with orange illuminating eyes and a another gauntlet only more medieval looking with four gems on it. "The Ersatz Gear able to give you the abilities and knowledge of anyone whose life-force you absorb though it won't kill them it will weaken them greatly" he said gesturing to the tunic then to the bronze gauntlet. The veracity Cog each gem on it gives you a certain elemental ability of: metal, poison, darkness, and energy" he explained as he was getting ready to leave.
"Wait where are you going?" the boy said. "I'm off to do my duty, however I'm not the type to leave people hanging, Here's a portal that will take you to a training area with enough supplies to last you for the period. Master you abilities for nine years then wait for someone will meet to help you on your vendetta. Anyway toodleloo!" he said before making a portal and leaving the house.
Issei pondered about the choice set above him he could just leave things as they were but, he knew there was no turning back. So with that in mind he entered the portal and begins his training.
As left the man turned into a robed figure watching the events unfold when he heard a voice. "Malakar has it been set" said a deep and ancient voice communicating telepathically. "Yes the boy actually believed the three factions have done it and the crusade that will purge those stopping the cycle will fall" Malakar said out in the air. "And so the cycle shall repeat and the wheel will turn once more." It declared.
9 YEARS LATER
The portal opened in Okinawa to show a seventeen year old issei with a more developed body that is strong and healthy; with his hair black with red highlights and his eyes heterochromic. (one green and the other sapphire ) he wears a simple shirt and jacket with a pair blue jeans and gray sneakers. "Looking sharp Mr. Hyoudou" said a voice from behind him; turning to see a man wearing a red tailored made suit with a top hat covering his head hiding his hair and a cane in his hand.
"The Bedlam Recluse at your service, but my friends call me Howl" said the man. The teen only arched his eyebrow wondering how he's going to help. "You see my boy even with all your power you can't take on the three factions by yourself. You're going to need allies; many and very powerful allies, which is where I come in, I can travel to different universes and dimensions where our comrades reside. So what do you say ready to go on a interstellar road trip?" he said getting only silence from Issei until he agreed excellent our first allies are going to be the four great satans predecessors."
In a secluded part of hell laid the ruins of an old castle; currently residing in it were three powerful devils. One a tall bespectacled woman with a voluptuous figure. She has tan skin with long brown hair tied into a bun with a headset and blue-grey eyes. She wears a dress that was extremely low-cut and had a high slit on it which exposed a large portion of her breasts.
The other a good-looking man wearing the clothes of a noble. His clothes were black with dark red belts and motifs. He also has a cape and black hair tied up to a small ponytail. along with pointy ears and pale skin.
The third was a handsome man dressed in black armor with a cape. He had long brown hair that goes to his hips with many bangs covering his right eye. They were currently deciding what to do when the castle wall was blown up catching their attention to the duo standing in the hole. "I hear you want to take down the current system in the underworld. Looks like we have the same goals" Issei said with a smirk on his face looking at the bespectacled devils who now had smirks on their faces as well.

The Duo stands before a grave on the cliffs known as the suicide bluffs. Using Veracity Cog Issei emits a life giving energy to the grave and begins transferring it to the corpse below. At first the grave stood still than it started to shake violently when all of a sudden a healthy and alive hand rose out of the ground. Emerging from the grave was a rugged handsome man with slicked back black hair, a beard, and brown eyes. He wears Spartan attire consisting of sandals, armored belt with cloth beneath it, ram shoulder pad, and greaves. The most notable feature is the red birthmark that goes from the top of his head all the way to his waist.
"Welcome back to the land of the living" Issei said as he handed a spear with a long shaft with a steel tip, which sports red tints. It has a long scarlet and gold strip of cloth wrapped around it. The shield is a rather battered bronze shield and red, with the Greek lamda symbol ( Λ ) on it.

Underneath the South China sea lies Posideon a lab cloning development that is considered to be top secret, or was until Issei and Howl came.
[Why are we doing this again?] Ddraig asked
"To get the two people who are highly skilled but, long gone" said issei as blasts a guard to smithereens. "alright almost finish just keep the pressure on" Howl said continuing the cloning with the sample he brought. This kept going for another until all security personnel were neutralized; the tanks the turned green showing that the clones are ready.
The two stepped in front of the tanks as they opened releasing the fluids and the people within both females. One was of French descent with fiery red hair and blue green eyes. The other a woman with the look of a professional with red hair, hazel eyes, and fair skin.
"Well suit up" Issei said throwing down a hooded outfit with a hidden blade, sword, and pistol; while the other was sea-green armor with modifications including a missle launcher-jetpack.

It was late at night as a meeting was between several individuals were each one was exceptionally powerful in their own way. "Is there anything else we should discuss?" said the leader with her proper posture and personality.
"How about your allegiance to me" said a voice revealing to be Issei and the Recluse as they hovered above the shocked sorceresses. "So this is the Lodge, must say you could use some improvement" he said before firing a blast at them as everything went black for the females.
Dimension#1453
The mountain top was high and secluded as man kept to himself within a cave struggling with something within him. He has white spiky hair and heterochromia: his left eye being green and his right being red. His clothing consists of a hybrid of modern, futuristic and old features. He wears a vibrant red sleeved jacket with two long thin tails hanging from the back. Under it is a black shirt with three red belts. He wears a pair of black gloves with a red shell on the backs of the hands; with the right arm being a prosthetic after having lost it when he was younger. He wears a black hakama and steel-toed red boots. "So can't seem to remember yourself huh?" said Issei as he entered the cave in front of him.
"Who the hell are you" the man scowled at the younger man showing his fangs. "Well it looks like some part of your attitude and personality remains intact. Anyway I'm a person who's willing to help you remember who you are and what you want but, first you must help me, that is if you accept." Issei requested reaching out his hand to the man.
He stared at it for a second wondering what to do and decided to just go with it and accept it. "Excellent here comes our other partner" Issei said as the recluse entered carrying a sleeping woman with white hair, golden eyes, dark skin, large breasts and a scar across her nose. She wears a black jacket with a white button-up tee and torn-up short shorts, along with knee high black and white heeled boots. A single belt crosses her waist, and she has a gauntlet-like weapon on her arms. "So what did I miss?" Howl asked.
Dimension#0082
The galaxy was quiet as within a luxury suite stood a lovely space pirate going over her defeat at the hands of a fresh high school girl. She had a ship that was advanced beyond her time and her adversary had old model though it was a legendary ship as well. She pondered on what she was going to do now that she lost when she heard a knock on the door.
On the other side Issei saw the door opened to reveal a girl with pale skin, white hair and golden eyes. She wears light blue lipstick and dark blue eyeshadow. She wears a form-fitting full bodysuit, white with grey, and black gloves. The suit often has a number of squares sparkling over it. "So are you going to let me in or what?" Issei said
"That depends" said the girl with stoic tone. "How about something that'll make the Grand Cross look like a child's plaything?" he gestured getting a grin from the young girl.
Dimension# 2095
Issei and The Recluse are at an altar performing a dark ritual for their next ally. The sky was red and the candles were blazing as Howl was reciting the incantation. The ground started shaking as a small flame burned in the middle of the ground, and as recited longer the flame grew larger and larger. The giant flame that stood before them then begins to take form.
It materialized leather-metal armor with a scarf at the neck, and a helm. At had no bone, flesh, or even blood as it just pure evil spirit where the proof is the evil red hellish incorporeal face as it gave a chilling laugh. It then summoned weapons which were a fusion swords and flintlocks.
"Well that was easy" Issei said getting a incredulous look from the traveler as the entity just ket on laughing. "How long is he gonna keep doing that" Howl deadpanned at the new ally.
Dimension#1826
"ALERT! ALERT! THE FACILITY IS UNDER ATTACK! I REPEAT, THE FACILITY IS UNDER ATTACK! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! ALL PERSONNEL TO ASSIGNED STAT-" the alarm was interrupted by gunfire as Iseei and The Bedlam Recluse accompanied by two bipedal drones blasted through the wall. "Muwhahaaha!" laughed the Recluse at the carnage he laid waste before him.
"This is insane, Literally! If their crazy as you say they are a liability to my revenge" Issei argued with the man. The Bedlam said his part as well; "this world is home to some of the most powerful and advanced super soldiers in the history of complex warfare. Some of their most strongest is kept in here due to high intolerable crimes they committed; true they may be unstable but, with a little coaxing they will be without a doubt our most deadliest weapons." He explained to the young man as descend deeper into the prison.
Reaching their destination the made it to four heavily secured cells; after hacking the console the doors opened. Four women emerged in white jumpsuits: the first a very buxom American woman that had dark blue shoulder length hair that curls near the ends, and wore a light blue bonnet. The second a dark skinned Mexican woman with blonde hair that dips below her shoulders. Her eyes are seemingly closed and she frequently has a smile on her face. The third is a British female with long, periwinkle colored hair reaching all the way down her back. Her eyes are lavender and very snake-like, and she seems to wear heavy eye-liner. She has a rather slender physique, which starkly contrasts with her ungodly strength. Finally the fourth was Japanese in an exquisite form, with long wavy pink colored hair that completely covers her ears, and runs to the small of her back. She has a sizeable bosom, and pink-reddish eyes.
Welcome to the first day to the rest of your lives as free women, well under my leadership of course" Issei said getting a sadistic smile from a couple of them.

Once the pair stood in front of a grave in what seemed to be a normal cemetery, however both knew it contained the body of one the strongest disciples in history. Once the same process was done the ground blew up to show an empty grave. Both looked in shocked until they felt a presence behind them and turned around; there before them was a tall well-built man with silver hair that hung in a ponytail down to his waist.
He noticeably has heterochromia; his right eye is ice blue, while his left eye is red. He has various bird motifs on his clothing, from the caged bird earring on his ear to the mark on the left side of his face, and even his jacket and necklace. He wears what appears to be a blue jacket with a red dragon tattoo on the left sleeve and sports pants and ties back his long silver hair with a band.
"Okay he's definitely in" said Issei said with Howl nodding in agreement as the man approached them calmly and bowed before them.
Dimension#1304
In a dark temple lies an unholy being of pure negativity within it. It plots for its master's arrival however it had no success whatsoever and fears he will soon face his master's wrath. The being was of a human silhouette consisting of a strange shadowy fog with electricity crackling along his appendages, transitioning into a bright white around his face and fingertips.
Inside of his thoracic cavity is an abnormally small ribcage of ghostly bones, and occasionally a deep blue image of a human heart flashes from deep inside. His face is similar in appearance to a traditional Japanese oni mask (specifically of the jya variety), with two horns and a despondent expression. When flying and performing his signature Demonic Despair attack, he manifests wings similar to that of his master.
"Having problems?" said a voice as the being turned to see the duo come out of the portal with smirks on their faces. "What do you want mortals!?" it said in a dark, creepy, and haunting voice. "Just to help you gain reverence from your master, if you help me for the time being" Issei asked the entity. The being looked at him in question wondering what it could be that he needs help with and what's the worst that could happen.
Dimension#2071
"Ah here it is!" the young dragon announced when pulling the pod from the life chamber it was contained in. After searching many labs associated with the crime syndicate they found the collaborator they were looking for. Opening the pod they see a beautiful female with dark skin, cute lips with black lipstick, and black hair that flows in loose and messy manner with blonde highlights. Her figure is somewhat voluptuous from the way her hospital gown hugs her body as she lies there in stasis. "Pretty nice for the sister of 'The Man Hell Coughed Up' don't ya think" Issei said
"Alright time to wake her up" he said pressing the green button activating the awakening method. A blue vapor was sprayed onto the female and soon her eyes opens to reveal their ruby color. "Where am I? who are you people?" she asked with a silky smooth voice; "we're the one who freed you and are going to help you my dear" Howl said with Issei nodding behind him.
At first she was scared but, then has the feeling that these people don't want to hurt. So she agrees and leaves the lab leaving no evidence that they were there.
Dimension#3001
The club was pumping in the starlit city of a vast kingdom; citizens were going left and right having swell time. Most high class patrons of a certain club even more so as they listen to their favorite singer resonate.
On stage is a woman of Egyptian descent with tanned skin, long legs, and black hair in low cut at her neck, and a curvaceous figure with red lips and blue eyes. She wears an expensive cocktail dress that shows off her body very well, matching heels a golden Egyptian crown, bracelets attached to gloves and a golden ribbon wrapped around her body like an ankh along with a scarab scepter/microphone.
As the song finishes the audience claps as she express her gratitude to the crowd. "Thank you for your support and considerable contributions to our blood drive. I love you all! Have a good evening!" she yells out as she leaves the stage to go into the back. "Time for another refresher" she said to herself when she heard clapping to her side to see the crimson dragon himself with a grin on his face.
"Excellent performance, but I must say your security could use some improvement" he said pointing his thumb to the man-eagle and man-jackal currently suspended of the ground hanging, restrained by titanium chains. "They seem to be a little tied up at the moment" he joked; "My, my, oh my, so what bring you to this lovely establishment" she said to Issei.
"I merely wished to see if the stories were true, but now I see they don't do you justice cause you're much more lovely than they described you." He said getting small giggle from the diva. "Flattery will get you everywhere" she said; "which is why I don't see this as your thing now. Come on singing to get your next blood fix; I knew that the crimson scourge is better than that." Issei said getting a shocked look from the singer as to him knowing her secret. "Which is why I have a business proposal for you; join me and I will give you a life of eternal life power to do with as you please." He said before opening a portal and standing next to it.
"So are you going to follow me or sing the rest of your years till you get caught? he asked gesturing to the portal. Eliza was curious so she entered the portal with Issei following her behind.
Dimension#0007
The realm was one of natural beauty, with a diverse landscape, including mountains, forests, plains and swamps, but very little non-polar desertification. Far around the land are ancient towns, villages, and cities of old times as settlements. It only has one sea with many great lakes intercedeing the land as the main source of water.
The singer looked around the land as she traveled with Issei finally reaching to their destination. Going down a narrow path down the forested mountains they've arrived at a cliff from straight down is a landmark of some sorts. Descending to the bottom she got a closer look seeing a white altar with ancient symbols surrounding the middle in a circle. On the far back are thirteen pillars reaching up far in the sky and down below into the earth each with their own mark. Issei approaches the altar looking at all the allies he recruited gathered around all but the sorceresses he fought were conscious.
He approached the center where stood a large stone tablet on a pedestal, and begun to say his speech. "My friends you are all here because I see something in each and every one of you that wants something more out of life as do I. We are about to take part in a war against some of the most powerful forces as well as oldest forces in history and for that we need more power than ever before. If you wish to back out now you may" he said only for everybody that was conscious to step forward. "Alright then let's get started" Issei said as he then turned and approached the tablet.
"ready partner" Issei said to his gear
[Ready]
[Boost}
Issei had boosted gear and activated his balance breaker as he charged up his fist and struck the tablet. The stone shook crackling with energy as it then imploded and shattered into different fragments. Soon each fragment bore the mark of each pillar and Issei gave each pillar to all thirteenth factions.
Each fragment's mark was very specific: a russet leveled one, one that shows the color and exterior of a brain, one with a green lush style, another which was violet with lightning surrounding it, the next is red with sword crossing each other, the other one was almost invisible giving a transparent look, then another was orange with the picture of an hourglass on it, black with many different faces on it, gray that shows a lot of skulls huddled together, amethyst with powerful tornado, white with a whirlpool swirl, next was a green one with leaf branch, and finally a mark of silver spirit.
As all the fragments were given while Howl gave the Lodge theirs while being unconscious, they began to give a flaring glow and not a second sooner were absorbed into their bodies. They gave deafening screams as they were being empowered as Issei and Howl watched. When it was over they all stood including the sorceresses glowing with a radiant aura of each fragments color.
"It worked; I can feel it like it's a part of me now" said the female devil of the old satans as she felt the power coursing through her veins.
"Are we still even alive" said the Spartan standing tall and strong as ever.
"Yes you all are yet so much more than what you all previously were." Issei replied
"What are you talking about?" asked the disciple
"These pillars are what keep reality stable, each represent a unique element that's a part of it. There is a way for the power to transfer to hosts only if they become the pillars guardians; which there hasn't been any for many millennia." The dragon explained.
"So were the new guardians?" asked the combatant
"Yes as long as no harm come to the pillars and you all don't die; you all are free to do whatever you want with your newfound power" The Recluse said.
"Now we can focus on our battle with three factions; I won't lie it will be anything but easy, however I'm sure you all will persevere. After you are all guardians, the strongest ones in reality a guardian of-" he said each element to its respective host.

"Where death can only be paid in death; for we are Righteous Vengeance" Issei said as held his hands out to the group.
"Welcome to the Cabal of Vengeance!"
To anybody who can identify all members of the Cabal I will add any character they want to the story and however they want them. For those who want work with me if they want to pliease P.M. me.
