Ch4: Issei's resolve…...3yrs passed.

A week has passed since Issei's parents died in front of his eyes. Now what has people surprised is that Issei's is still his usual self. He goes around to his friends like nothing ever happened,he still shows his perverted nature from time to time,he is still friendly to people he talks with. So he still like his usual self before his parents died. When the incident happened the Media what quick to make it the headline of the news for that day. But that was not important,the real problem was that Rias family was taken off the case since not only they were compromised but they also lost 2 of their members and lost Issei's parents in this case. With Koneko missing and Xenovia in a coma they were in no position to move. They had told the school that Koneko left to go see her family because something happened to them and they told that Xenovia was going home with her parents for a couple of months since something urgent came up in her household. Rias,Akeno,Asia,and Kiba stopped coming to the academy since they witness Issei's parents Death they were too stunned by the shock of seeing people die in their faces or so that was the reason given. The true reason is that since they were taken off the case they have been putting all their efforts into searching were Koneko went since she didn't come home that night.

As for issei well be is still going to since he said that his parents wouldn't forgive if he stopped going to the academy because of what happened to them. As for who was tasked to find the culprits for all that has happened to Rias family,the powers that be her brother Sirsechs and Azazel have asked for their human contacts to find them since they culprits aren't using magical means to fight them. Now what was going on with the world was that Mexico broke into a civil war with the familia faction vs Mexico. The country was divided in half between these factions but the familia faction had more modern weaponry than Mexico's government and when Mexico was about to fall they somehow repealed and pushed back the familia faction. However that doesn't mean that they won 80% of Mexico is under the familia with only the states that border the US remain under Mexico control. It seems that the familia faction is planning to make a monarchy since the Democratic system has failed the people of Mexico. Now as to how Mexico was able to push back the familia faction well it's because of the world police. Yup with the US supplies, weapons and vehicles they managed to push back the familia faction from conquering all of Mexico within a week. That's what familia expected to happen since their nation neighbor America wouldn't just let a nation they are allied to fall under their watch especially when such a faction has weaponry that can stand toe to toe with them and any superpowers of the world. However the following day in a move that shocked every nation around the world. Abruptly and swiftly the states of California,nevada and New Mexico,and Arizona succeeded from the United States of America and proclaimed that they were apart of the familia faction and had decided to help their brethren in need since this land was part of the nation they hold so dear. When this happened every religion deity were shocked,the Olympians,devils, angels,fallen angels,Yokai,spirits,even the chaos brigade who wasn't really interested in want the world of earth news going on about had suddenly had their faces shocked at this news. So in response to this the entire US military mobilized to try to secure their new borders but we're unable to since the famila faction ended up during the confusion destroyed any reminisce of the old Mexican forces and final Mexico was reunited as Mexico under the of Sir Rossario the first king in the history of Mexican nation. And on this day Mexico was born anew with a monarchy at the top of the government. When this happened a certain girl in Japan was smiling from ear to ear since she just saw a man who she helped on a whim not only managed to get his nation back,he also managed to get new land for his people without even lifting a finger. Safe to say this man managed the impossible within 2 weeks. He has made a huge impact on the world and now all the world's eyes are on this nation seeing what this Mexico will do next. Now we open up with said girl in a room in the home of the new ruler of Mexico drinking tea while she waits for the man who invited her here. And within a few minutes the man in question steps in the room and sits on his throne chair in front of her.

Rossario: I would like to welcome you to my nation

Miss blood crimson I didn't you would come immediately here after my message saying would you like to come over. He says in a calm tone.

Myu: well why wouldn't I not only did you take the nation and you got rid of the corruption here,as well take land from the United States of America without even lifting a finger. Of course I would come to see if you succumb to your power now hold in your hands. she says looking at him with a smile.

Rossario: so am l? He asks her Honestly.

Myu: for now no. Good on you I suppose but I hope you know what happens next don't you. Make sure that does not happen to your kids Rossario. She says to him in a calm tone.

Rossario:yes I am well aware. I make sure my kids aren't corrupted by their new environment. As well with my wife or should I say queen. He chuckled at that last part while myu just smiles.

Myu: good now as to why I was invited her for? She asks in a serious tone.

Rossario: right what I want from you again is more financial support as well as what rewards you desire from me all options are on the table. He says Ina serious tone.

Myu: okay I'll help you with financial support. Now as for my rewards first I want to have citizenship here along with rank of ministardo as my Noble title with a small price of land near the cost, as well as protection from any nation wishing to take me for themselves and finally 5 atom booms for my use. She grins on that last part.

Rossario: um the other requests I can do but I can only give you 3 atom booms sorry.

Myu: that's fine I was expecting getting no booms at all but thanks.

Rossario: why thank you if it wasn't for your financial support and guidance over this past month and 2 weeks we as a nation would have not gotten rid off the corruption in our nation.

Myu: I'm assuming the financial support is going to the people yes. He just nods at her question.

Myu: good then I better be going back my friends are worried about me coming here says sadly at him.

Rossario: then let me escort you to the "airport" then I am sure I can do that right.

Myu: oh on last question I'm sure the people have a voice yes.

Rossario: we aren't not like typical monarchy I'm offended. He says laughing.

Scene changes to Issei in his room.

Draig: Issei… it has been awhile. The dragon emperor speaks to him.

Issei: it has draig…..it good to hear your voice says in a "happy" tone.

Draig: you know you can't hide things from me since I am apart of you…..why don't you ask comfort from the others.

Issei: if I did that I know that I will break...I wouldn't be me anymore I would want to escape from reality. I saw my parents die in front of me...he says tears falling from his face. I was helpless draig. You know how I felt when I saw them fall.

Draig:...I do. It felt like your soul was dyed in the darkest color of despair and…..hatred. Your hatred for this person had the power to override your current self of all reason and kindness.

The person that your companions knew ceased to exist in that moment. He says in a sad tone.

Issei: if I let myself let my emotions for my parents deaths prevail I the issei hyoudou now wouldn't return. That me would do anything and everything in his power to exact revenge for my parents. No matter what the sacrifice has to be or whom.

Driag: I didn't say anything earlier but...I felt few powerful people around you and specifically someone in your class.

Issei: is that so…. Without himself knowing his voice become cold. Who?

Driag: will you tell your king?

Issei: no…. It is my fight my friends don't need to be involved.

Draig: you do realize that you will be a rogue devil if you do this. Not reporting this information to Rias,Azazel, Michael, Sirzechs. The devil king himself.

Issei: I just wish to speak with them, then I'll decide if I give this information to them or not.

Draig: fine...the person is….

Scene changes to the Kouh academies parking lot where we see Haruto going straight to his Supra custom since school has ended but…

Rio: Is seems I have someone following me hear. He says turning his head to look behind him. They he sees Issei walking straight towards him with a smile on his face.

Issei:yo.

Rio: yo so what do you need from me Hyoudou. I don't see that your with any of the beauties of the academy with you. That's rare.

Issei: no Amakawa I came here to ask you if you can give me a ride home since everyone else is at the clubroom at the moment since I still need to sort out my family funeral stuff since I am they're only son.

Rio: sure I'm sorry for your loss I hope the police find the person who did that to your parents. He says with a disgusted expression on his face. That asshole hope that person is sent to bottom pits of hell.

Issei: yeah…thanks it is not easy. He says as he gets in on the passenger seat.

Scene changes to Issei and Rio driving down the main road to Issei's home. They are only 10minutes away from his home when Issei after having small talk with Rio decided to "ask" him.

Issei: so Amakawa who are you really? He says in a cold tone.

Rio notices the change in atmosphere in Issei and it seems that saying he doesn't know what he is talking about will start a fight when he doesn't want to have attention at the moment.

Rio:sigh. Let me ask you mr dragon emperor what information did you obtained to say that I am not like other humans here. I was pretty careful not using my "magic" here at all since myths are real here.

Issei: not even deciding to play innocent,huh I thought it would be awhile before you admitted that you weren't who you say you are. I have no need to answer that, all I ask is that you are you my says with coldness in his voice.

Rio: no ...by the people who we allied ourselves with is the enemy to you and everyone in this universe. We did this for prediction you see since we are only so few in number. Plus we don't trust your leaders that you respond to every call they make. He says in a cold tone.

Issei: so your went to an enemy that is on everyone's watch list instead of us. Why it seems like a foolish move on your party.

Rio: I would say we were close contacting you guys to ask as friends in allies but your leaders are what dissuade us from asking you in the first place. Your people, your kind along with angels and fallen angels aren't to be trusted. Since we didn't know what friendly or hostile is to you. So the only option was to go with an organization that has power and numbers on their side which makes even you guys think twice Fighting them as a hole. At this issei loses his calm Demeter that he had.

Issei: if that's the case you should've left my parents out of this they knew nothing about what was going on!

Rio: According to my ally it was to give you a wake up call. That your home can and will be attacked. Your parents were the best option of doing that. Your friends Xenovia and Koneko were only secondary to your parents death. Or so my ally said. But I don't agree with what it said. In my opinion it was best to leave the innocent out of the fight between us.

Issei: so what you are the good one in the group. Bullshit!

My parents are dead now because of your little friend. If you think that you who is working with "it" is innocent then you are nothing but blind.

Rio: me blind….ha! That's funny coming from the enemy who didn't know that they were spilling out secrets left a right like it was a bargain sale. It is guys who are blind, after you guys aren't on the search for us anymore since you guys can't deal with simple humans. Devils my ass. You are out of your league in faces us my young devil. I assume you aren't dense enough to see that I am right yes. He says in a mocking tone.

Issei: ….

Rio: now as a reward for your efforts although, being your quiet late in finding out who I am, I'll give you an obvious 's say that a sister wanted her dear sister back. He says as they arrive at Issei's home. Looks like we are here. It was nice talking to you. If it were any other time I think we would be friends. He says as issei steps out of his car.

Issei: yeah if it was…. I hope to see you again. He says as he opens the gate to enter.

Rio: I suggest you hurry and rescue your friend and fast he says as he throws a card to issei witch he catches it with his hand. Think of this as a gift for not destroying my car and start a fight with me. Bye he says as he drives off.

Issei: damn. He says as he picks up his talism to speak to his King.

Scene Changes to the club room where everyone except Issei is at the moment. It has been a week before they returned to the academy since they were busy trying to find Koneko. During that week issei hasn't spoken once to them or even looked at them. Every time that they would try to talk to him he wouldn't even listen to them or even be in the same room as them. This was understandable since because they were unable to prevent the tragedy that happened Issei's parents. Though he smiles at them here, that smile that he has on his face is a fake. That's because his eyes are filled with hatred towards them. This hurts the girls while Kiba feels sadness seeing his friend in this state. The reason they are here is to discuss what information they have to find Koneko. But as always…

Rias: so we have nothing again. She says disappointed.

Akeno: yes…. Although we asked others for help it seems that

They haven't found anything on their end. She says looking at Rias with sadness in her tone. I'm sorry Rias.

Kiba: I see ...but that means that….we have to obey your brothers words know Rias. He says in a regretful tone.

Asia: no! You can't do that Rias Koneko is our friend. We can't give up on finding her.

Rias: I know but…..if I don't give up on koneko I will be forced to disband my family and go back to my brothers family as a queen. While the rest of you will be considered free devils. I can't leave you guys know all for the sake of one person. She says this but….

Asia: then why are you making that face. You know she isn't just a person and you know it. She says with tears falling down her face.

Rias: I'm sorry but I can't lose you guys. She says with regret in her voice.

Akeno: Rias….

Kiba: dammit! He yells out loud.

30 minutes to by in silence between them, before they hear a familiar voice that they haven't heard in a long time.

Issei: my king

At this everyone looks towards the talisms on their person

Rias: Issei…. It's good to hear your voice again. She says with affection but..she gets a response that is cold to the touch with no affection for her or anyone that is listing in.

Issei: I'm sorry that I worried you my king. But I have information that might interest you at the moment.

When they hear him say this they all felt hurt in their hearts. This was more hurtful to them since him talking to them with this voice of no affection for them pains them greatly especially the girls.

Rias: I see then report what information you found. She says in a sad tone.

Issei: my king I have information where Koneko is and where she located.

At this they all open their eyes wide in surprise since issei was never on the search for koneko like they were. Rather he opted to abstain from helping them in the first place.

Akeno: Is that true Issei you know where she is. She says in a calm tone but with sadness in it as well.

Issei: yes my queen...but we don't have much time to go and get here it seems that they will move her out of our reach tomorrow we are pressed for time. He says in a calm tone with coldness in it.

Akeno:I see...but how did you get this information and how do know that this information is legit.

Issei: I met with the enemy that's how. He says without hesitation.

At this the hole room goes silent. 5 minutes to by before Kiba speaks up.

Kiba: Can you explain when this happened issei. He says in a serious tone.

Issei: sure Kiba, just today in our academies parking lot. I got in his car and he told me that we were his enemy after 10minutes of small talk. He gave me this information for not starting a fight their and not destroying his car. He says without hesitation.

Kiba: Issei will we thank you for getting this information us shouldn't you asked us first before you met with him. You can be tried for treason and be made a rogue devil yes. He says in a serious tone.

Issei: I am aware. But since you guys don't want me the dragon emperor fight you guys I am assuming you won't tell our leaders this know after all I am your friend yes. He says with a calm but confident tone.

Kiba: Issei. I suggest you stop this tone with us at once and don't threaten us with you joining the other side. While I am your friend I am allied to Rias not you.

Issei: which why I know you guys won't say anything at all. After all, she wouldn't want a precious asset to the devil race turn on them yes after all if the enemy has both the red dragon and vanishing dragon you guys would be in a grave situation no. He says with coldness in his tone.

Kiba: Issei…..not another word. He says with slight rage in his voice.

Issei: fine. After all I am just a pawn Mr Knight so you out rank me. He says in a calm tone. So back to the topic at hand you know the information is correct because you guys know I wouldn't out of my free will meet with the enemy consider who I am or rather…..so what you say my king do we move. He asks in confirmation.

Rias: yes Issei let us here the information you got us when we meet you at our home we will be there in an hour to discuss our plans to rescue Koneko then. Until then you stand by till you are called are we clear. She says in a commanding tone.

Issei: by your will my king. He says before he cuts off.

Rias: why have you changed issei you are not the person I fell in love with anymore. Please come back to us my heart can't take anymore of this.

Akeno,Asia,Irina also share the same sentiment as Rias said.

That person was the issei they did not fall for and it hurts them. While Kiba is sad that his friend that he fought along side with is like this.

Scene change

Here we see on the lowest floor of orcus great labyrinth, 3 teens standing on top of the last floor boss witch is the Hydra Hajime and Yue fought together. These teens are filled with excitement since after 3yrs since myu's father took them to tortus they have been going into the great labyrinths of the world and with this they are done. But they're excitement is cut short when they hear a voice speaks up.

Hajime: good job you three although it took you 3yrs you final conulqued all this world has to offer. He says with a grin.

Hajime: I don't want to hear that from you guys, now then I have finished my part towards you guys. So now you all will begin your final training as he says that 2 people step out from the portal which Hajime opened without them knowing.

Endou: Hajime my preparation are complete on my side the haruia is ready to move out for recon when you wish. He says in a calm voice.

Kouki: Nagumo my wife has informed me that her people need more time to finish counting our forces other than that we are ready. He says in a calm tone.

Suna: Ah it's Endou I didn't even sense you come in until you spoke up. She says with a surprised voice.

Ryuu: yeah, although it seems that he is the right hand for sure of our master here he says pointing towards Nagumo.

Hajime: leave him alone Suna after all for the remaining two yrs he will train you to become his equal. As for Ryuu Kouki will train you to become a force to reckon with and if you're lucky you might reach him in strength. As for Shona you have no need since Kaori and Shizuku already trained you to be as good as you are. So you will join our forces as a trainer to teach new priests and Samurais that have appeared. Make sure each priest has all of their stats at 1000 all round and samurai 850-900 on their stats as well. He says to them.

Shona: you are unreasonable you slave driver. Fine, I'll do it since I got nothing else to do.

Ryuu: well then master Kouki lead the way I'll be in your care.

Suna: well then shall we…...wait did master Endou leave already wait up!.

Endou: ah no I'm in front of you well I guess we can call this training. He says with a grin on his face.

Hajime: cool you guys can go do that. Oh and Endou send in karm alone on this one since he is the most experienced and former chief. He says as he looks in the direction of said person.

Kam: still can't get the drop on you after all these years. Well as expected of master you haven't lost your edge in your time of peace. He says with a smile.

The person in front of Hajime, is a beastmen of the haruia tribe and former chief. This person has rabbit ears and a rabbit tail,he is clothed in a black hunters/assassin vest with black leather pants along with back shoes and cloak. His weapons are two short kodachis on his back with a long bow on his back which Hajime made for his tribe which means they are artifacts.

Hajime: nice to see you again, it's been two years how is your wife and kids. He says with a grin

Kam: they are fine. Now I came here since I had a feeling I was going to be called by you. He says with a grin.

Hajime: I have a mission for you. You might die but, I need you to go and scout and make contact with Myuu on that planet.

Kam: by your will I shall see that I give my report to Myuu when I reach the other side.

Hajime: good since right now we already have made the universal key but since all our forces aren't ready yet we haven't decided to go attack them yet.

Kam: understandable, I will go and inform my lady and protect her there. He says with a grin before he disappears in the shadows.

It has been 3 yrs since Myuu disappeared from earth and Hajime's forces have been increasing in mass. Now all that is left is to train the new recruits and make them a powerful army. Now that the universal key was created earlier than expected they had the le way to send out scouts for reconnaissance which is the haruia tribe. They will be sent first and stay there until the main force arrives. They will give reports through the upgraded telepathic comms. Now these comms are able to do universal communication effortless.

Hajime: now then I guess I should make a few Trump cards.

He says with a grin as he walks in the portal before he disappears.

Scene changes on a battlefield where the empire and the kingdom alliance are in a stalemate with no way of ever breaking even with mile friends in the tray.

Reina: there is no end to them. She says as she fires ice javelins into 10 empire soldiers all the while 200 soldiers around her burned to Ash.

Mavis: that's because this is the turning point. Should any side fail here that side is going to fight an uphill battle her onwards. She says as 500 empire soldiers are cut into 5 pieces and fall on the ground.

Pauline: I have received message from the guild master saying that we have to retreat since we have to recover our strength for on final push she says as she cast a healing effect around her and her allies which make her allies restore their minor cuts and injuries back so that they can keep fighting.

Reina: fine I'll open a path make sure you guys follow behind me. She says as she sends a laser like flame that kills more enemies before she and her friends make a break for it.

3 hours later. In the kingdoms camp.

Reina age 19: it seems the fight is still at a stalemate even though we created an opening for our forces to move. She says annoyed

Mavis age 20: true but like I told you our forces have taken as much damage as they have at this point things might drag on for another month. She says in melancholic tone.

Pauline age 18: true as things are but that's why we have to make sure to not mess up since we are one of the kingdom's most valuable assets. She says in with a tired voice.

It has been three years since the war began and now the war has reached the turning point where this battle will determine who is likely to win the war entirely. Both sides have suffered immense casualties both soldiers and non combatives alike. The death toll has reached over 500 thousand men on both sides on this. As to why a high number well it is because every country/kingdoms/empires around the world decides to join in the frey. As to why well that's because all over the world people lost most of their mages and the few remain up for grabs. That being the case, no one could just stand by let such valibe assets to be taken from them.

Mavis: must be nice you guys being the few remaining mages around the world. She says smugly.

Reina: you know as well as I do that I won't live to have a future after the war.

Pauline: she is right at this point she should be tried and hung for the things she has done. But that's not a concern of ours yet so she can still live with the remaining time she has left. She says in a saden tone.

Throughout the war Reina has committed crimes against humanity that shouldn't be done to humans in general.

Though because of this war human lives on the planet are going down the drain by the hundreds of thousands around the world while the other races are doing just fine. Though there is a human country that hasn't joined in the blood bath. That nation is surrounded by the water as far as the eye can see. The only reason everyone on the planet knows this is because said nations flag is never on the battlefield.

Mavis: Hey what would Mile think of us now if she was here today?

Reina: she probably yell at us saying that we are idiots for doing what we are doing.

Pauline: yeah i'm sure she would say that. It would be just like her to come here and end the war entirely since you know she beat three ancient dragons when she got serious.

The girls start to laugh at how easy it was for them to imagine their friend doing so. But soon after tears start dripping from their faces. At first they don't know why,but after a few moments they realize how different they are now. So much so that if mile saw what they have become she would cut ties with them saying that she regretted teaching them magic and techniques. Soon they get up and head for the meeting room for the next strategy to end this war.

To be continued…...
