Sup guys? Welcome to chapter 15 of my story. Now, it's like I said before, this chapter is the fight you've all been waiting for. Issei vs Kokabiel! Before we start, I want to thank you guys for over 400 Followers and over 300 Favorites! I know I'm a bit late for that, but hey better late than never! Again thank you! This chapter was delayed due to a certain family issue and stress from school. Now, let's answer to some reviews!

NinjaFang1331: Thank you.

Squadpunk 2.0: Good to know! I spent a lot of my time reading here as well and of course writing my stories! Here's the next chapter! Hope you enjoy!

Xerozzuro: 27 on 8? I didn't quite understand what you meant there, though I'm not going to question it. Glad you enjoyed every single chapter that I put out for this story! You should have told me what kind of mistakes you spotted. If they were grammar mistakes, those nobody can avoid. If you spot any mistakes make sure to let me know. Yea, school is going to be a real bitch for me as well. I have two tests to take and I have to finish two drawings by the time school opens. Average eh? It's at least better than my 2015. Well, I pretty much Brotherhood of Steel for life! Just like in Skyrim I was always with the Dark Brotherhood. I never really saw it coming, you rebuilding Liberty Prime from Fallout 3 and Doctor Li returning. I just finished the game with the Brotherhood and I never will go back to try all the endings. I like the choices that I make and I like to keep them like that. And don't worry; I prefer reading longer reviews because they might be filled with ideas and criticism. Happy Holidays to you as well!

Alber breaker: Well, like I said I won't be focusing on the romance way too much, so their won't be many seduction scenes. Though I am planning some pretty messed up things for my story.

Hunter801: Good to know that you enjoy this story! Hope I don't disappoint you with the route I take for this story! (Whatever that route is…)

Maalikdb: I'll try and update faster, but no guaranties. With School and everything, it's going to be quite the challenge. Yea, they see Issei as their friend and they want him to stick around for as long as possible. And, like I said in the Author Notes above, once you finish reading this chapter, go read the Author notes at the end.

EndGamePro: Thank you! Merry Christmas to you as well!

AnimeAwsomeLove: Yea, a very close friend of mine moved as well, so now I won't be seeing him like I used to. Wait, your friend is missing? Well… I do hope that he or she turns up. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well my friend!

TheLaughingStalk: Oh, he will be punished…

1337Pwny: I know that you weren't, I was just joking. Well, at least an alright year is a good year, right? Sure, it had its ups and downs, but it was still a better year than mine. Though I prefer the PS4, you should probably buy it on PC, if you want to install those mods and use the console commands. But the final decision is up to you my friend!

Heath Oslo: Well, you do point out a few valid points. Though, if I do decide to go for the tragic end… you could say that it ends all possibilities for a sequel. But you did give me things to think about…

Honest Hearts: Well, if you are having trouble, you can read a few fanfics so you can get ideas. You don't need to make them the same as the Author to where you borrowed that idea. You can change it as much as you can. Though I do wish you good luck in your book. I can see as to why you don't like most of the material here. I am also quite curious about which choices I made that you didn't agree on. If you're reading this, tell me where you didn't agree with me. Though thank you for having faith in me.

CloneKiller187: Thank you and there's no need to wait any longer! Read and find out how it ends! Whilst killing the Brotherhood, did you manage to take Elder Maxsons' coat? Because that coat is like, my dream coat!

Daquan: Oh, this chapter is epic!

Kirinthor: Thank you, and here is the fight that you've been waiting for!

Satner'sKagune: If you referring to the voice inside Issei's head as dark Issei, then sorry to disappoint, but he won't be making an appearance. And no, I don't plan on having then merge with each other.

Dragonmite: Don't worry, after this chapter, I'll try and make the chapters longer! And the story won't be ending here my friend! We still have a long way to go…

God of war: I will! No need to worry!

Zaralann: Will it though? The final choice is up for me to decide.

Guest: I just did!

Grey Wolf4: Issei will live after the Juggernaut Drive. And you'll be happy to know that the story won't be ending with the Kokabiel Arc. You'll see what will happen when you're reading this chapter.

Guest: Then let me put you out of your misery! Here's the next chapter, enjoy!

Guest: Glad that you like my story! Also, after I finish this story, I plan to wait a few months before I release my new DxD story. But that won't be for a while, since we aren't even close to the halfway mark on this story!

my inner hollow power: Glad you enjoyed the chapter! Hope you enjoy this one as well!

And that was all the reviews from the last chapter! Before we start, answer me this question! What genre of music are you into? I mostly listen to Heavy Metal, Deathcore, Nu Metal and a few more. Answer this in the review and I'll reveal the answer next chapter! Also, there will be something important in the Author Notes in the end and it revolves the aftermath of the Kokabiel fight. So make sure you read the Author Notes at the end! Let's start chapter 15!

Chapter 15: Issei vs Kokabiel!

A Magic Circle appeared in the center of the ORC clubroom. Out of the Magic Circle stepped out everyone that was at the church, besides Kiba, Xenovia and Irina.

Rias went and sat down behind her large desk and crossed her arm, a serious expression on her face.

"Alright everyone, as we have said before, we need to come up with a very good plan. A Fallen Angel leader is not to be taken lightly after all…" Rias said, closing her eyes in thought.

"We will need to set up a barrier, Rias. We don't want any Human to be killed." Akeno said with her usual smile.

"I already have that part covered. Whilst you guys confront Kokabiel, me and my peerage will make sure that the barrier is up." Sona said.

"Okay, there goes one problem. But what next…?" Rias asked, still in thought.

"Why don't you give your brother a call? I'm positive that he'll send the help that we need." Sona said.

"No, I don't want to involve him in this mess. He's work is much more important. Speaking of my brother, why don't you ask your sister?" Rias asked her childhood friend.

Sona closed her eyes and sighed heavily.

"My sister… No, you're brother loves you very much. I'm sure that he won't hesitate to send reinforcements." Sona said, adjusting her glasses.

"Don't worry; I have already informed Sirzechs of the current situation." Akeno said, holding her cellphone up.

"Akeno! Why would you do something like that?!" Rias asked her Queen angrily.

Akeno's smile vanished as she glared at her King in anger.

"Rias, I know that you don't want to trouble your brother, but this problem goes way beyond your power. I know that you want to take care of it, because it happened in your base. Your territory. It's like I said, this matter goes way beyond your power. Let's borrow the strength of a Maou." Akeno said.

Rias continued to glare at her Queen for a small while, before closing her eyes and sighing.

"… Alright, I'll accept my brother's help." Rias said, though everyone could tell that she was not happy.

Akeno's smile returned once she heard her King say that.

"I'm glad that you understand, Rias." It was all Akeno said. She also gave a small bow to Rias.

"Alright, now that we're a bit prepared… what comes next?" A blonde haired boy with light gray eyes asked. He was wearing the Kuoh uniform.

"I think it will be best if we wait for the other three to return. Though, if they don't return… then am afraid that we will have to confront Kokabiel without them." Sona said.

"Sona, don't say things like that. I'm certain that they will return, unharmed." Rias said.

"I'd like to hope that as well Rias. But we must also think of some 'what-if' scenarios. They could run into Kokabiel himself while they're out there." Sona said with closed eyes and crossed arms.

Rias looked away.

"I know… but I'd rather not think about it. I want to believe in my Knights abilities. And the other two as well." Rias said

There was a small silence in the room.

Issei sighed and turned around, walking towards the door.

"Issei, where are you going?" Rias asked.

Issei sighed once more.

[Rias Gremory, you might have time to waste, but we don't. If you want to stay here then so be it. But we are going to continue our search, with or without you.] Ddraig said as Issei opened the door and left the clubroom.

Once Issei got outside, he extended his wings and took flight. He activated his Dragon Hearing so if anything suspicious was happening, he'll be able to hear it.

[Hey Partner… mind if I tell you a small story while we're alone?] Ddraig asked.

Issei raised a brow at this. He nodded his head.

[I remember a long time ago, I had a host that was similar to you. Scars on his left eye, blinding him and another one that went across his chest. He also lived for the sake of revenge. Though I don't remember his reasons for revenge, I do remember his name. His name was Yuudai Yuu. As we traveled, I learned that he also wanted to end his life when his revenge was over.] Ddraig said.

Issei raised his brow again, wondering why Ddraig was telling him all of this.

[The reason I'm telling you this, is because one day, we found a woman that was severely injured. We took care of her and nursed her back to health. She asked if she could come with us. Yuudai was a bit hesitant at first, but with a bit of persuasion from me and the woman, he agreed. They started to develop feelings for each other. And it gave Yuudai a reason to live the rest of his life. With her by his side. What I'm trying to say is that there are girls that love you. They are waiting for you to return their feelings, rather than ending your life.] Ddraig said.

Issei sighed, though it wasn't one of annoyance. He wasn't dense. He knew that some of the girls loved him. And that they are trying their best in order to keep him alive. Though at the end of the day, it's going to be his choice to make. And he has already decided that a long time ago.

"Hehehe… Very cold hearted… Cold hearted indeed… How about this…" The voice chuckled.

(Soundtrack for this scene: Doomsday, from Doctor Who.)

Suddenly, Issei's surroundings changed. The skies became red with the clouds going from white to pure black. Issei began to look around and noticed that most of the buildings and houses were either on fire or they were destroyed completely.

Issei looked around with his eyes slightly widened. He landed on the empty street that was filled with destroyed cars that were on fire as well. The few that weren't on fire had burnt bodies of men, woman and children.

His surrounding changed once more. This time, he was at Kuoh Academy. He was standing at the front gates, which had one missing. The right side of the Academy was completely destroyed, reduced to only rubble. The rest was still intact, but the windows were broken and some of the outer walls had cracks on them.

Issei walked to the front doors and found a lot of dead bodies. Some didn't have their heads; some were cut in half, blood still oozing out of their wounds.

Issei slowly made his way to the schools backyard. He suddenly heard glass breaking. He looked down to see that he stepped on a familiar set of pink glasses. He picked them up and inspected them. He narrowed his eyes once he saw that it was either Sona's or Tsubaki's glasses.

He placed the glasses back on the ground and stepped into the backyard. He looked to his left and saw a blonde haired boy, his arms chained on a tree, his lower half missing and his intestines hanging freely.

The boy was Kiba.

He looked to his right and saw a small head with white hear. The rest of her body was nowhere to be seen as a crow feasted on her right eye.

That was Koneko.

As Issei continued to walk, he began to see more deceased bodies. He saw Xenovia's body, which was laying face first in the dirt, Excalibur Destruction going through her stomach.

He then saw his childhood friend Irina. She was sitting near a tree, her face cut in half, showing her brain. Excalibur Mimic was carved in the middle of her face.

Issei looked away from Irina's body, his breathing quickening. He considered Irina and Asia to be his only friends at the moment. He gritted his teeth as hard as he could and continued to walk forwards.

Issei took a deep breath and exhaled all the air in his lungs out of his mouth in a long sigh. He then saw a girl who had long black hair in a ponytail; face first on the ground, There was a giant hole in her chest, her heart and lungs nowhere to be seen.

Issei looked around and to his right; he saw Rias. She was riddled with Light Spears that pierced the tree behind her. Her mouth was wide open and her eye sockets were empty.

Suddenly, he heard grunts of pain. He was certain that the voice was female. He walked a bit faster and saw a girl with long blonde hair. She was wearing a nun outfit.

He ran up to her and turned her around. She opened her green eyes and looked at Issei with a pained expression.

"I-Issei… Y-You finally c-came…" Asia said with a cough at the end.

Issei put her into a sitting position and patted her back. He looked her in the eyes, wondering who caused all of this and more importantly, who hurt her.

"I-I thought that you wouldn't come. I… thought you would let me die here all alone. Thank God…" Asia stopped talking because she felt a headache after saying 'thank God'.

"That you came." Asia said with a small smile as she cupped Issei's cheek.

Issei held her hand to his cheek and opened his mouth to say something.

Nothing came out.

Just like always.

Asia smiled once more at Issei. Her hand began to fall from Issei's cheek. He watched as he hand hit the dirt.

A small gasp escaped Issei's throat. He put his hands on her shoulders and shook her hard.

"…As…ia…" Her name came out of his mouth, his voice sounding horse and low.

These were the first words that he uttered after ten whole years. The name of a now dead girl.

"Asia…" He said in a shaky voice.

"ASIAAAA!" He shouted at the top of his lungs.

"RAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed at he clutched his head with his hands as tight as he could.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" He continued to scream as a menacing red aura began to surround him. His body went limp as his hair shadowed his eyes.

The red aura became more crimson and menacing, not to mention, powerful. It created cracks on the floor.

Issei raised his head a bit and his eyes went from their usual golden brown to bright green. He stood up from his kneeled position and looked up at the sky with a cold expression.

"… I, who is about to awaken…"

(End of Soundtrack.)

[…Ner! Partner! Snap out of it!] Issei's eyes snapped open at the sound of Ddraig's voice. He began to look around and noticed that the city wasn't destroyed. The sky was back to its usual blue color, same with the clouds. He was gliding in the sky, still not reaching his unknown destination. His breathing was heavy as sweat began to go down his forehead.

[Partner, are you okay? You did not respond to my calls. What happened?] Ddraig asked.

Issei calmed his breathing down and wiped the sweat away from his forehead. He gave a long sigh and his stoic face returned.

[Hmmm, I see… you were hallucinating.] Ddraig said with no surprise in his voice. He had witnessed his partner hallucinate a few times before and he was of course the one to snap him out if it.

Issei only nodded. Ddraig didn't say anything and left his host to search for clues in order to find Kokabiel's location. After a small while, his hearing began to pick something.

"Get… here! Xenovia… follow them!" A male voice was heard. More specifically, Kiba's.

"What… Irina?!" He heard Xenovia shout.

"Leave her... More… important!" Kiba shouted back.

"Fine!" Xenovia growled at Kiba. Their voices then went quiet.

Issei upped his speed and diving downwards towards a park. He extended his wings so he could lower his speed and managed to land safely on the grass.

He retracted his wings and began to look for the trio. It didn't take him long to find one of them.

He saw Irina on the ground unconscious, or so he thought. Her outfit had cuts and so did her body.

Issei ran up to her and shook her. She groaned in pain and opened her eyes slightly.

"Issei… Wh-what are you doing here?" Irina asked in a groggy voice.

Issei didn't answer her question and instead looked around the park. He couldn't find Kiba or Xenovia. He turned to Irina and gave her a questionable glance.

"I-If you're looking for Kiba and Xenovia… then I'm afraid I don't know where they went. They disappeared after Freed and Kokabiel ambushed us." Irina said.

Issei narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. He was going to make Kokabiel's death twice's brutal.

Suddenly, he heard his phone ring. He pulled it out of his pocket and saw that it was Rias calling him. He answered.

"Issei, if this is you, then Kokabiel is here at Kuoh Academy! Come here as fast as you can!" Rias said as she quickly hung up.

Issei put the phone back in his pocket and looked at Irina. He wasn't going to take her to a hospital; they'd ask too many questions. He decided that the best thing he could do was to take her to his house and let one of the Fallen Angels take care of her while take the other with him to fight Kokabiel.

He picked Irina up bridal style and extended his wings, taking flight quickly. Irina was holding tightly on his shirt while having her eyes closed. Issei felt her body shiver, probably because of the wind.

"I-Issei…" Irina muttered as she finally lost consciousness. This made Issei up his speed. He made it to his house in record time. He then kicked the door open, having no time to pull out his key.

The sudden noise made the two Fallen Angels jump in fear. Once they saw who it was, the relaxed, but then they were surprised to see the injured Irina in his arms.

"What happened to her?" Mittelt asked, not caring very much.

[Quick question, which one of you has the best medical experience?] Ddraig asked.

"Ummm… that would be me, I guess." Kalawarner said as she stepped closer to Issei.

[Alright, I want you to take her to my bedroom and lay her down. Disinfect her wounds and then dress her up. Issei had some bandages and Povidone in the bathroom. Check up on her every thirty minutes. Mittelt, you're coming with us.] Ddraig said.

Kalawarner quickly nodded and picked Irina up and carried her upstairs.

"Where are we going?" Mittelt asked with a raised brow. This is the first time she was going with him, wherever he was going.

Issei looked at her with a cold look in his eyes.

[We are getting our revenge]

At Kuoh Academy:

"So, Rias Gremory, where is your brother? Surely he wouldn't have left his little sister to do the work for him." Kokabiel asked with a smirk as he sat down on his throne. Which was also on top of a flying mountain that Kokabiel summoned.

"My brother is busy, Warmonger. We will be your opponents instead." Rias said with a small smirk.

Kokabiel's smirk fell a little. He sighed and looked at them with his red eyes

"Do you really think that you and your servants have what it takes to stall me from achieving my goal? Hmph. This really is a stupid thing that you're doing, Rias Gremory." Kokabiel said.

Rias narrowed her eyes as she looked at the Fallen Angel.

"Do not underestimate me and my servants, Warmonger. Together, we have a much higher chance in defeating you." Rias said.

Kokabiel laughed at the young girl's words. He stood up from his throne and summoned a yellow Light Spear. He threw the spear to the Gym, making it explode. All that was left of the Gym was a huge hole, sparks of electricity sparking inside it.

Rias and her peerage were left wide eyes at Kokabiel's power. Rias felt her hands tremble for a moment, but she managed to force herself to stop.

"Hahahahaha! The look on your faces in brilliant! Hahahahaha! So, I ask again Rias Gremory, are you certain that you and your servants have what it takes in order to defeat me?" Kokabiel asked his smirk widening.

Rias looked at the Fallen Angel with narrowed eyes.

"Just because you have an advantage in power doesn't guarantee your chances at victory! We will do anything in our power to stop you!" Rias said, summoning her Power of Destruction in her right hand.

Just as she was about to charge, she saw her Knight, Kiba and Xenovia come out of the small forest, swords drawn.

"Kiba! You've returned!" Rias said with a happy smile.

Kiba looked at his King, smirking.

"Yes, I am back, President. Now, let's stop this Fallen from starting another Great War." Kiba said, dropping his smirk and entering a stance.

"Hey Freed! How's the fusion of the Excalibur's going?!" Kokabiel shouted over his shoulder, making the all that were present to widen their eyes.

Suddenly, Freed appeared in front of them, a long sword on his hands. It was surrounded by a golden aura.

"Already finished Boss! So what know?! Can I kill these shitty Devils and the bitch?!" Freed asked rhetorically, a crazed look in his eyes and facial expression.

"President, let me take care of him! It's my duty as a Knight to fight other swordsmen, even if their swords are Excalibur's!" Kiba said to Rias.

Rias looked at Kiba and then at Freed. She then looked back at Kiba with a hesitant look.

"I'll allow it. But Kiba… please don't die." Rias pleaded.

Kiba looked at his King with a smile.

"Don't worry, President. I'll come back to you. I promise." Kiba said, as he turned his attention back at Freed.

"Oh, so this shitty Knight Devil is going to fight me first?! Wonderful! Let's see if I can make you squeal like the bitch you are!" Freed said with a manic smile as he dashed at Kiba with lightning speed.

Kiba grabbed his sword with both hands and blocked the incoming strike from Freed. The two stayed with their swords clashed, sparks coming out.

"The rest, let's attack Kokabiel!" Rias shouted as they ran towards Kokabiel's mountain.

"Don't think that it's going to be this easy, Rias Gremory. For I have borrowed the pet of Hades himself!" Kokabiel shouted, raising his hand in the air.

An orange Magic Circle appeared on the ground and out of it came the guard dog of Hell, Cerberus. The dog growled and then howled in the air, fire coming out of its mouth.

"C-Cerberus?! To think that the God of Hell would just lend you his pet!" Rias growled at Kokabiel, making him laugh.

"Don't worry, Rias. Let's try and defeat this beast, possibly stall it. When Issei arrives, I'm sure that he'll probably handle the situation." Akeno said with a serious look in her eyes.

Rias only nodded as she summoned the Power of Destruction in her right hand. She then fired at Cerberus, the others charging in as well, besides Asia.

Kiba vs Freed:

Kiba pushed the ex-Exorcist with his sword and dashed towards him, striking downwards. Freed parried Kiba's sword to the left and kicked the Knight in the stomach, making him wobble backwards with a grunt.

Freed stick his tongue out and began to repeatedly strike Kiba, who was managing to block each strike with little difficulty. Kiba gritted his teeth as he continued to block Freed's strikes.

Freed swung his sword to the left, but Kiba dodged the attack and rolled away from Freed. Freed, looked at Kiba and dashed forward, using Excalibur's Rapidly's ability to move faster.

Kiba jumped backwards to avoid Freed's sword, managing to do so barely. Kiba then moved his head to the right so he could avoid a downwards swing from Freed. Kiba stepped to the right and kicked Freed in the stomach, making him stagger back. Kiba then took the opportunity and tried to stab Freed in the eye. Freed was quick to react and moved his head to the right, though Kiba managed to cut his cheek a bit.

Freed jumped backwards and slung the Fused Excalibur over his shoulder. He looked at Kiba with his signature maniac grin.

"For a shitty Devil, you are pretty good! Keeping on par with Excalibur Rapidly's speed is no easy task! But don't get too cocky! The fun has only just begun!" Freed said as he suddenly turned invisible.

Rias and her Peerage and Xenovia vs Cerberus:

"Asia, look out!" Rias shouted as she turned to see a fireball heading towards her.

Asia stood there frozen, not knowing what to do. She shut her eyes and screamed as the fireball got closer and closer.

Xenovia then appeared in front of her and used Excalibur Destruction to slice the fireball in two.

"X-Xenovia… T-thank you." Asia said with a small smile that held relief.

Xenovia only nodded and dashed towards the Hell dog. She stabbed the giant sword in the ground, sending a shockwave. Cerberus couldn't dodge the attack in time and was left there stunned.

"Akeno, use your lightning at max power!" Rias shouted at her Queen.

"On it Rias!" Akeno said back as she raised her hand in the air.

Kokabiel heard her name and laughed out loud.

"So, you're here and a Devil no less, Akeno. What would your father would think of this development, I wonder…" Kokabiel trailed off with a smirk.

This made Akeno's eyes widen in anger at the mention of her father.

"Do not mention that man ever again!" Akeno said as she looked at Kokabiel with hate.

Kokabiel laughed once more, angering Akeno further. She raised her hand and lightning began to make its way towards Kokabiel.

Kokabiel smirked at that. Once the attack got close enough, he simply slapped the lightning away, causing it to hit the small forest behind him.

"But…how? That… was my strongest attack…" Akeno said with eyes wide in shock.

"Hahahahaha! You see now, daughter of Baraqiel?! You and the rest of these pathetic whelps are no match for my power!" Kokabiel laughed.

Akeno continued to stare at Kokabiel with shock.

"Akeno, snap out of it and help us!" Rias shouted.

Akeno did not respond to Rias' words, but raised her hand in the air again. This time, the lightning managed to hit Cerberus, making it howl in pain.

Rias then summoned her power of Destruction and fired at Cerberus three times, making it stagger back and howl loudly once more.

Koneko dashed forwards and punched the middle head in the snout, making it stagger further back. But she wasn't finished. She then grabbed the left paw of Cerberus and lifted it of the ground. She then began to spin in circles. She then let go of its paw, making it hit Kokabiel's mountain.

Xenovia then jumped as high as she could and stabbed Cerberus in the left head. Cerberus stood up and howled in pain as it tried to shake Xenovia off. Xenovia then pushed her Excalibur deeper into its neck and began to stab the Hell dog repeatedly.

She pulled her sword out of its neck aimed it at the left head's throat. With one final strike, Cerberus' left head was cut off. It fell to the ground with its tongue out. The left head disappeared in flames.

Cerberus roared loudly, flames coming out of its two remaining heads. He looked at the group in anger and charged forwards, tackling Koneko to the ground in attempt to bite her. Koneko managed to grab the dog's teeth, trying to keep its mouth open.

Koneko saw Cerberus charging a fireball in its mouth, causing her eyes to widen. There was no way that she could block this one.

"RAHHHH!" Xenovia shouted as she charged at Cerberus with her Excalibur ready to strike.

Cerberus didn't even look at her, as it raised its tail and hit Xenovia in the stomach, causing her to fall down.

Rias quickly summoned her Power of Destruction and fired at Cerberus five times, causing it to close its mouth and stagger away from Koneko, who quickly stood up.

"Koneko, are you alright?! Do you want Asia to heal you?!" Rias asked her Rook.

"… I'm fine, President. Let's focus on taking this beast down." Koneko said as she stood in her fighting stance.

Rias nodded and shook away her concern for Koneko. She looked up and stared at the red sky.

"Issei please come quick wherever you are." Rias thought as she summoned the Power of Destruction in her right hand and fired once more at Cerberus.

Kiba vs Freed:

Kiba grunted as he felt Freed kick him from behind, causing him to fall to the floor. He tried to stand up, but Freed put his foot on Kiba's head, making his face kiss the dirt.

"Aww, what's wrong shitty Devil? You were doing all that good shit a while ago, you know, dodging all my attacks and what-not!" Freed asked rhetorically.

"I-If you weren't staying invisible like the coward you are, then I would still been doing all that 'good shit' like before." Kiba said, raising his head from the dirt a bit so he could talk.

Freed narrowed his eyes at the Devil's words and removed his foot from Kiba's head. He jumped back and stared at Kiba, who stood up shakily.

"Alright, alright I'll stop hiding behind this invisible crap and fight you head on. While I did enjoy beating the shit out of you, I also wish to have some fun! So, I won't be using the Excalibur abilities! I hope that you're ready, you shitty Devil!" Freed shouted as he dashed towards Kiba.

Kiba narrowed his eyes and raised his sword to block the incoming strike. He did so, but with his arms shaking heavily from the beating Freed gave him whilst being invisible. Freed pushed Kiba back with his sword, making the Knight stumble a bit. Freed swung the Fused Excalibur to the right with all of his power.

Kiba managed to raise his sword to block Freed's attack, but the strike was too powerful, causing Kiba's sword to brake. Kiba also fell to the floor, looking up at the sky with a sad expression.

"Well, I believe this is where you journey ends, shitty Devil! I hope you rot even further than you have already!" Freed said as he put his foot down on Kiba's chest and raised the Fused Excalibur in the air.

Kiba then summoned another sword from his infinite forge and managed to stab Freed in the shoulder. This got Freed to remove his foot from Kiba's chest, allowing the Knight to stand up.

"Hmm. It seems that you have become quite resistant." A new voice said behind Freed. Kiba looked closely and saw that it was the Archbishop, Balba Galilei.

"What's up old man? It's all good, it's not like you're interrupting our fight or anything! It's all cool!" Freed shouted at the old man.

"I am interrupting for a good reason, I hope." Balba said.

"You're just wasting my time here, old man! I only have half an hour left before I die again!" Freed said impatiently.

"Calm down Freed, I believe that you have enough power as it is in order to defeat this whelp. You'll have enough time to kill him and the rest of his friends." Balba said.

"Hmph, fine, but make it quick!" Freed said as he put the Fused Excalibur over his shoulders.

Balba then put a hand in his robe and took out a blue crystal. He looked at Kiba with a smirk and tossed the crystal to him. Kiba looked at the crystal then looked back at Balba, confused.

"What is this?" Kiba asked the old man.

Balba smirked.

"That… is called The Element. I managed to get this thanks to your friends from the project. You could even say that the project was a complete success." Balba said.

"Success? You disposed of us when you learned that we were failures!" Kiba shouted, glaring daggers at the old man.

"Oh no, none of you were failures. If the project was a failure, then nobody would be able to wield the Excaliburs. All of us have that Element inside. I just gathered enough of you in order to get the right amount. I gave enough to Freed here, so he could wield the swords properly." Balba said, closing his eyes and widening his smirk.

"So… that's why you killed my friends?" Kiba muttered loud enough for Balba to hear him.

The Archbishop's response was only a nod.

"And to think that you gave most of my friend's Element to that bastard." Kiba said, gritting his teeth in anger as he looked at Freed.

"You're allowed to keep that, you know? I can produce more of those quite easily. Once I produce enough, I'll easily build an army and go to war with the Vatican." Balba said, opening his eyes.

Kiba looked at the blue crystal in front of him for a small moment. He picked it up and laid his forehead on it.

"Everyone… I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for abandoning you. How can I continue to live like this?" Kiba asked.

Suddenly, the blue crystal began to light up. Blue balls of light began to surround Kiba, who looked surprised by what was happening. The blue light then began to shift, turning into children of both genders.

"Why are you sad? You don't have to worry. You are alive. That is all we needed." A girl said with a smile.

Kiba looked at her with tears in his eyes. He looked to his right and then to his left. He closed his eyes and began to sing.

"We were no good alone."

"We didn't have enough Elements in order to wield the Holy Swords. But, it's going to be okay if we are all together."

The spirits then looked at Kiba, still smiling.

"You have to accept the Holy Sword."

"It's not really scary."

"Even if God is watching us."

"Our hearts are always…"

"ONE."

Kiba opened his eyes and looked at his fallen friends, a small smile on his face and tears going down his eyes.

"Everyone… thank you. Thank you all. I will always remember this." He said. The spirits then began to disappear, their essence going inside Kiba.

Kiba looked at Freed with a small smirk as he stood up. He extended his hand to the right and summoned a new sword.

"Sword of the Betrayer." Kiba said, as a new sword was summoned in his hands.

"W-What is this?! How did you do that?!" Balba shouted shock evident on his face.

"Can't you see old man? I finally reached my Balance Breaker." Kiba said with a small smirk on his lips.

"Grrr! Freed, kill him!" Balba commanded.

Kiba waited for Freed's attack, but it never came. He looked at the priest with a confused face.

"Freed, stop ignoring my orders and kill him!" Balba shouted once more.

Balba was once again ignored.

Freed suddenly let the Fused Excalibur fall out of his hands, hitting the ground with a loud cling. Kiba still looked confused at what was happening, but Balba realized, as fear began to overtake his face.

Freed's body then ignited in blue flames, but he wasn't screaming. His body began to dissolve. After the flames stopped, the only thing that remained of Freed was his ashes, which were blown away by a sudden gust of wind.

Kiba looked at where Freed was standing in surprise. He then smiled as he approached the old man.

"N-No, please don't kill me! All of my years of research, all that precious time! Don't let it be for nothing!" Balba pleaded as he began to walk backwards.

Kiba ignored the old man as he suddenly dashed forwards and stabbed Balba in the chest. The old man coughed blood as hid eyes were wide from the pain.

Kiba pulled his sword out of Balba's chest, letting the old man fall to the ground, dead. Kiba looked at the old man for a moment, before dashing away in order to help his King.

Rias and her Peerage and Xenovia vs Cerberus:

"Okay, two heads down, one more to go!" Xenovia said as she sliced Cerberus' right head clean off, making the dog howl in pain.

Akeno raised her hand and used her lightning to stun Cerberus, but the dog avoided her attack. It lunged forwards, trying to bite Rias, but she moved to the left, barely avoiding Cerberus' jaws.

Koneko flew up using her wings and then immediately dashed downwards, readying her fist. Once she was close, she punched the remaining head of Cerberus with all her power, creating a large crater.

Koneko flew up again. She was going to finish it with this last attack. She dashed downwards and clenched her fist tightly.

Cerberus was ready for her this time.

It picked its head up from the crater and jumped towards her. It opened its maw and threw a fireball at her. Koneko narrowed her eyes and moved her body to the right, easily dodging. What she didn't expect, was the large dog was still coming towards her, its mouth open and waiting to close it on her.

She dodged once more, moving to the left this time and going behind Cerberus, grabbing its tail. She grabbed it tightly and did a front flip. She let go of the large dog once she completed the flip, sending it down to the ground, forming another crater.

The dog picked itself off the ground easily howling loudly. It looked to its right and saw the lone Asia. He began to run towards her, growling loudly.

Asia saw the dog approaching and froze in fear. She couldn't move. The only thing that she could do is close her eyes and pray.

But the pain never came.

She slightly opened her eyes and saw Kiba stabbed Cerberus through its mouth. He looked at Asia with a smile.

"Sorry I'm late Asia, President." He said, looking at Rais.

"Kiba! You're alive!" Rias said with a relieved and happy smile.

"Did you ever doubt me, President? I… also achieved my Balance Breaker." He said, looking at Rias with a happy smile.

Rias smile widened.

"I'm very proud of you, Kiba! But, let's celebrate later. Right now, I want you to do the honors of killing Cerberus!" Rias said.

Kiba nodded and pulled his sword out of Cerberus' mouth, making the dog stagger backwards in pain, blood pouring out of its mouth like a fountain.

Xenovia and Kiba dashed towards the Hell dog, swords ready. They both jumped high up and brought their swords down, stabbing Cerberus at the top of its head. Cerberus began to howl and whimper in pain as it tried to shake the two of it.

Kiba and Xenovia looked at each other and nodded. They pushed their swords deeper into Cerberus' head, piercing its skull and brain with ease.

Cerberus stopped moving after the two swords penetrated his brain. The Hell dog fell to the ground and disappeared in its own flames.

"Hahahahaha! Bravo, bravo to all of you! You managed to defeat Hades' pet and a man that was wielding a Fused Excalibur! You are all certainly very powerful!" Kokabiel laughed.

He then suddenly stopped, an eerie silence filling the area. Kokabiel stood up from his throne and looked at the teens with a smirk.

"But… are you powerful enough to defeat me?" Kokabiel asked, his red eyes glowing.

Everyone felt shivers run up their spines at Kokabiel's words. Before anyone could respond, Kokabiel laughed.

"Hahahaha! Well, look who decided to crawl back from the depths of Hell!" Kokabiel said with a grin.

The group turned around and saw that Issei had finally arrived. Next to him was Mittelt, who wore an expression of worry.

"Issei…" Rias said, looking at Issei with a worried smile.

Issei gritted his teeth as his wings came out of his back. He glared at Kokabiel as he flapped his wings slowly, lifting himself off the ground. Once he got to Kokabiel's throne, he stopped flapping his wings and stared at Kokabiel with an angry look.

"I hope you're ready kid. Wouldn't want to repeat what happened ten years ago, now wouldn't we?" Kokabiel asked with a grin.

Issei continued to glare at Kokabiel as he summoned his Boosted Gear. His right eye glowed green for a moment, then went back to its milky gray color.

Kokabiel extended his ten wings as he continued to stare at Issei with a smirk. He also flapped his wings as he glided slowly towards Issei. He stopped once he was about halfway close to him.

Issei and Kokabiel both dashed at each other, their fists colliding. The shockwave managed to send them back to where they started. Issei disappeared and reappeared behind Kokabiel, who also disappeared. Kokabiel reappeared above Issei and dashed downwards. Issei saw him and blocked the incoming kick with his shin.

Issei dashed backwards in order to get some distance. He then felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around, only to receive a punch from Kokabiel, which send him flying. Kokabiel then flew and kicked upwards. He then flew behind Issei and punched him downwards with all his strength.

Issei landed, creating a small crater. He picked himself off the ground, his forehead bleeding and growled. Kokabiel landed in front of him and tried to punch him, only for Issei to block. Issei quickly grabbed Kokabiel's arm and pulled it towards him, making Kokabiel lose balance. Issei delivered a punch to Kokabiel's face. Kokabiel gritted his teeth and tried to land an uppercut. Issei easily dodged and delivered a downwards punch, making Kokabiel fall to the ground.

Kokabiel grunted in annoyance and disappeared. He reappeared a few feet away from Issei, his lip busted open and bleeding. Issei dashed forwards and tried to punch Kokabiel, only for him to dodge and uppercut Issei. Issei staggered back, stunned for a few seconds. Kokabiel then began to repeatedly punch Issei with inhuman speed, all his punches connecting. Kokabiel then tried to deliver a heavy punch, only for Issei to grab his punch, and headbutt him.

Kokabiel took a few feet backwards, holding his head in pain. Issei tried to deliver a roundhouse kick with his right foot, but Kokabiel's reflexes kicked in. He grabbed his foot and elbowed his leg, a loud crack being heard.

The others winced in worry at the loud noise of Issei's leg breaking.

Issei's eyes widened at the sharp pain that went through his leg. Kokabiel let go of Issei's leg with a large grin on his face.

Issei held his leg in the air as he began to skip on one leg. He gritted his teeth in both anger and pain. Issei raised his knee to his chest and extended it as far as he could. He then grabbed it and began to twist it to the right and to the left. Another loud crack was then heard, as Issei managed to fix his leg.

Issei breathed in relief, most of the pain now gone.

Issei then put his right arm to his chest, boosting about twenty times.

[Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost!]

[Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker!] Ddraig shouted through the Boosted Gear, as the red armor began to appear on Issei.

"Ah, it seems that you're getting serious kid. That's fine. Let's see if you're Balance Breaker is close to my power!" Kokabiel said as he tried to punch Issei, who grabbed his punch. Issei then dissolved his helmet and stared at Kokabiel with an emotionless look. Issei then tightened his grip on Kokabiel's hand, crushing his fingers.

Kokabiel flinched in pain as he felt his hand break. Kokabiel tried to punch Issei in the face. His fist connected, but Issei did not let go. It only made him tighten his grip on Kokabiel's hand. This made Kokabiel fall to his one knee as he tried to pull away from Issei.

Kokabiel's eyes snapped wide open as he summoned a Light Sword in his free hand. He tried to stab Issei in the face, though he managed to hit Issei's lip and went all the way up his cheek.

This got Issei to let go of Kokabiel's hand and dash backwards. Issei touched his left cheek where Kokabiel cut him. He removed his hand and looked at it, seeing the crimson red blood on his fingers and hand. Issei narrowed his eyes in anger at Kokabiel.

He just got another scar from this bastard.

Issei growled. Just as he was about to launch himself at Kokabiel, he stepped on something big. He looked down and saw the Fused Excalibur. He narrowed his eyes and kneeled down to pick it up. Once he picked it up, golden aura began to surround the giant sword. Issei then looked at Kokabiel and pointed the Fused Excalibur at him.

[Be glad that you're not a Devil Partner, or this would have hurt you severely.] Ddraig said inside Issei's head.

Issei mentally agreed with Ddraig. He then launched himself at Kokabiel, Excalibur Rapidly's ability boosting his speed.

Kokabiel raised his own Light Sword and blocked the incoming swing from Issei. Issei then began to swing the sword so fast that even Kiba had trouble keeping up with his speed. Kokabiel was lucky enough to block the incoming swings from Issei. He then felt the large sword cut his cheek a bit, then his side, then his shin. Kokabiel then swung his sword to the right, though Issei used Excaliburs Transparency's ability and turned invisible for a moment, making Kokabiel hit nothing but the air.

Issei then appeared in front of him and swung the sword to the right, cutting Kokabiel across the chest and sending him crashing in the crater Koneko created when she threw Cerberus. Issei dashed towards Kokabiel, going in for the kill.

That was his mistake.

Kokabiel summoned a yellow Light Spear in his hand and threw it at Issei. Issei saw the Light Spear heading towards him, but he couldn't react fast enough. The only thing he could do was move his head to the left, the Light Spear managing to cut his other cheek. The same damage was done to both his cheeks.

Kokabiel has carved a Painted Smile on Issei.

Issei clenched his fist in anger when he heard Kokabiel laugh.

"Hahahaha! Look at you! Now… you'll always smile. You'll look yourself in the mirror and you'll see those two scars on your cheek. You will then remember me…" Kokabiel laughed painfully as he put a hand across his slashed chest, panting heavily.

Issei's eyes widened when Kokabiel said 'remember me.'

"Remember my name. My name… is Kokabiel."

"Kokabiel"

"Kokabiel"

"Kokabiel [My name is Kokabiel.]"

"Kokabiel!"

It was at that moment that Issei had snapped.

He looked at Kokabiel, eyes widened in anger. His eyes were both glowing green as he tightened his hold on the Fused Excalibur.

Issei then dashed at Kokabiel and stabbed the Fallen in the stomach. Kokabiel spat blood on Issei's face, but he wasn't finished.

Issei took the sword out of Kokabiel's stomach and began to stab him again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

Issei did it one final time and then removed the sword from Kokabiel's stomach, making the Fallen fall to the ground, blood oozing out of his now open stomach and on to the floor.

Issei was now letting out small shaky breaths.

He had done it. He finally killed the man who killed his parents and him. He has avenged them.

Issei threw the Fused Excalibur to the ground and turned around, walking away. He let the Balance Breaker dissolve into red particles. He was now back to what he was wearing today.

"Hehehehe… W-Where the h-hell do you think… you're going?" Kokabiel asked, picking his head off the ground so he could look at Issei.

Issei stopped walking and starred at Kokabiel with a bored expression. He slowly turned back around and approached Kokabiel once more.

Issei grabbed the collar of his robe and lifted him up. They were now face to face.

[Do you have any final words, Warmonger?] Ddraig asked.

"I… I have a confession to make." Kokabiel said with a smirk.

Issei tilted his head in confusion, prompting Kokabiel to continue.

"Did you really think… that I killed you and your parent out of fun?" Kokabiel asked.

This made Issei narrow his eyes. He slowly nodded.

"Hahaha… T-that is where you are wrong. I… was hired to kill your parents and you." Kokabiel revealed with a laugh.

Issei… well, he was frozen. The ice was quickly melted as rage began to cloud Issei.

He grabbed Kokabiel's neck and tightened his hold.

"Who…!" Issei managed to choke out.

Those that were present had their eyes widened in pure shock. Not for the fact that Kokabiel dropped a bombshell, but for the fact that Issei spoke.

"Who… Hired… You?!" Issei asked a bit more loudly, red aura beginning to surround him.

Kokabiel continued to smirk.

"His name is Rizevim Livan Lucifer! Good luck in trying to find him, because I have no clue where he is!" Kokabiel said as he began to laugh maniacally.

"RAHHHHHHH!" Issei screamed as he tightened his grip on Kokabiel's neck. Issei then dug his nails in Kokabiel's throat. He then pulled his hand back with force.

He managed to tear Kokabiel's throat open with his bare hands.

The crimson aura surrounding him began to intensify. His eyes were glowing green once more as his teeth were gritted. Green balls of light began to surround Issei.

"I, who is about to awaken."

"It's starting…" A female voice said.

"The time has finally come…"

"Am the Heavenly Dragon who has stolen the principles of domination from God."

"It has always been this way…"

"That is correct. Always correct." This time, a male voice said.

"I laugh at the "infinite", and I grieve at the "dream."

"What the world desires…"

"What the world rejects…"

"I shall become the Red Dragon of Domination."

"Has always been power…"

"Has always been love..."

"And I shall sink you to the depths of the crimson purgatory! Juggernaut Drive!"

"RAHHHHHHHH!" A Dragonic roar came out of the now transformed Issei.

Issei new transformation looked a lot similar to his Balance Breaker Scale Mail, though the Juggernaut Drive was much larger with a much more Dragonic appearance, possessing claw-like growths on the hands and feet, as well as horns and a fanged mouth on the helmet.

"Issei, please snap out of it!" Rias shouted at the Dragonic Issei.

"RAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" It was the only response Rias received.

Suddenly Issei's chest opened revealing what looked to be a canon. He began to charge it.

[Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, [Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost, Boost!]

"GRAHHHHHHHHHH!" Another loud roar from Issei.

"President, I'm sorry but we have to go!" Akeno said, expanding her wings.

"No, I'm not leaving him like this!" Rias shouted, tears in her eyes.

"Rias, if we don't get out of here, then we'll die as well!" Akeno shouted.

Rias ignored her Queen and continued to stare at Issei.

"Issei…" Rias muttered.

"I'm sorry!" Kiba said as he grabbed her from the waist. He extended his wings and took flight with everyone else.

"RAHHHHHHHHHH…!" Issei roared, but then suddenly stopped. His chest also closed.

"W-Why did he stop?" Mittelt asked, scared.

"W-What's happening to Issei?! What's happening to him?!" Asia asked as well.

The others didn't have an answer for their questions. They were as confused, worried and scared as she was.

Issei suddenly looked up.

"RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Issei roared once more as he extended his wings and took flight.

"ISSEI, COME BACK!" Rias shouted as she extended her wings.

"Rias, no!" Akeno said, grabbing her arm.

"Let me go Akeno! This is an order from your King!" Rias shouted.

"…I'm sorry Rias. But I have to disobey you. Please, it's for your own good. You'll die if you go after him." Akeno said, her eyes pleading.

Rias stood there for a moment, frozen. She then retracted her wings and looked at her Queen with a sad expression.

"Rias… I'm sure he'll come back. Have a bit of faith." Akeno said with a sad smile. She wasn't sure herself.

"Akeno… I'm not sure if he's coming back, at least for a while. We're just going to have to wait and see. Though things are looking pretty grim." Rias said.

"President, you don't think he's going to… you know." Kiba asked.

Rias turned towards Kiba and gave him a depressed look.

"… I think he might. What Kokabiel said… I think it pushed him to his breaking point." Rias said.

"W-What is Issei going to do?" Asia asked in a shaky voice.

Everyone then froze. They didn't tell Asia anything about what Issei was planning to do once he killed Kokabiel.

"We'll… We'll tell you later Asia." Akeno said with a small smile.

Asia didn't like the answer she was given, but she accepted it.

"Well… let's go see how Sona and the others are doing." Akeno said.

Everyone nodded and turned around. All besides Rias. She looked up at the sky where Issei flew. She put her hands on her chest.

"Issei… please return to me alive." She whispered to herself, before turning around and walking away.

And that is chapter 16! Hope you all enjoyed the fight and the unexpected twist! You may have noticed a few things I decided to keep out, like Kokabiel revealing God's death, Xenovia summoning Durandal. And, since Issei isn't a Devil, I decided that it would be fun for him to use the Fused Excalibur and its abilities. So, there is two ways we can go.
1) Skip everything until we get to the Peace Meeting.

2) Write 5-6 chapters seeing how a few people are dealing with Issei's disappearance.

So again, it's up to you guys to choose! Do you go with the first option or the second one? Tell me in the reviews! Also, I want to apologize to you guys. It's been far too long since I updated this story. Basically, real life happened. Had a certain family issue, a few art projects (I'm saying a few, it was actually around nine.) and, well my grades which are about medium. So yea, once again, I'm sorry. Alright, I think it's about time we close this chapter up! Again, don't forget to answer the question! So until next time, I'll see you when you're older, don't go changing!
