(Kuoh Academy)

Monday morning arrived and despite what should've been the best weekend of his life, he was more annoyed then happy. Ravel explained that his sacred gear was called the Boosted Gear and it was one of the 13 strongest sacred gears in existence also known as Longinus. It allowed Issei to double his strength every ten seconds which was incredible if used right. When Issei asked Ravel for some time to think about everything she told him, Ravel nodded and left him alone. Issei used the rest of the day to exercise so he could maximize the power of his new gear. He was brought from his musing by a smack on the back and he turned to find one of his perverted friends was waiting, "So how was your date traitor?" Motohama said with a smile. Motohama had short black hair and large glasses.

Issei frowned unsure of what to tell his comrade and made something up, "She wasn't feeling well so we didn't have the date." Issei replied calmly.

"Oh please. She probably realized what a freak you are and decided to dump you." Issei's classmate Katase said harshly. Katase was a member of the kendo club with pink shoulder length hair who had a very bad history with Issei. The kendo club was the constant target of the group and he'd been on the wrong side of her shinai on many occasions.

"Who knows" Issei frowned deciding that getting into an argument wasn't worth it.

"Excuse me is Issei Hyoudou available" a voice said from the outside of the classroom. Much to Issei's surprise, the voice in questioned belonged to Momo Hanakai. Momo was a second year member of the council with a nice figure long white hair and blue-green eyes.

"What did I do this time?" Issei deadpanned.

"I don't know. I've just been asked to bring you to Kaichou's office and that's it." Momo replied calmly.

"Whatever" Issei groaned as he got up from his seat and made his way out.

The familiar trek to the student council office was not a big deal to Issei. Due to his antics with his friends he was very familiar with Sona Shitori the student council president and he had a feeling another lecture was on the way. Soon enough Issei arrived at the office and was brought into the simple room where only the student council president was waiting. Sona Shitori had a slim figure black hair in a short bob cut and violet eyes. Issei had to wonder what Sona would ask her about since he hadn't done anything.

"Leave us" Sona said calmly as she stared at Issei. He could tell something was off but couldn't explain it. Once he heard the door open he turned towards Sona with a hint of annoyance.

"What do you want President? I haven't gone peeping since I got my girlfriend." Issei frowned.

Sona looked at Issei with a scowl but it quickly faded since she had a task to accomplish. Reaching into her pocket she grabbed something and showed it to Issei, "Tell me Mr. Hyoudou, have you seen this before." Sona said calmly.

Issei's eyes narrowed since it was just like flyer that the cosplayer and Ravel gave him though they were slightly different. That meant that Sona was connected to the devil world as well, but the question was how, "I've seen it before. Some weird cosplayer was giving it out the other day but that's all I can tell you." Issei frowned.

Sona noticed Issei's eyes narrowing and realized he knew far more than that. However she couldn't call him on it without exposing herself, "Alright." Sona replied with a bit of disappointment.

"Is everything okay President" Issei asked curiously. Clearly she was trying to figure something out and her plan had not worked. The fact she revealed the flyer was even more disturbing

"Yes it is. I'm sorry for taking you away from your classes." Sona frowned dismissing Issei just like that.

"No problem" Issei replied as he left the office. Rias's mysterious appearance at his house the day before and being called in by Sona this morning. Something was off and he needed answers. Fortunately for him, he knew just who to turn to.

(Scene Skip)

After school was over Issei quickly left the school instead of engaging in his typical peeking of the kendo club. Once he arrived at home, he went up to his room and shut the door since this was very much a private meeting. Reaching into his desk drawer he found the piece of paper that Ravel gave him and focused on the parchment in order to summon Ravel for another conversation. It took him a second but yet again she appeared in her pink dress.

"What is it this time Issei?" Ravel wondered. Admittedly she didn't expect to hear from him so soon, but she wasn't about to complain.

"Have you ever heard of somebody named Sona Shitori? She has black hair and a bob cut with glasses" Issei asked calmly.

"I have but the name Sona Shitori is a lie. Her name is actually Sona Sitri and she's a High-Class Devil like Rias and me." Ravel confirmed much to Issei's annoyance.

"Alright and I guess I have one more question for you" Issei said calmly.

"Of course" Ravel replied though she was a bit nervous. Issei's perceptiveness was terrifying and there was no telling what he would ask next.

"What is this piece of paper exactly and why do you High-Class Devils have them." Issei wondered revealing the small flyer that Ravel gave him.

Ravel frowned since Issei was getting to a dangerous point. "It's a contract circle. Devils typically use them to obtain contracts from humans. The devils do a task for a human and they get compensation for it." Ravel explained.

"Alright, so what do I owe you in this case?" Issei replied calmly.

"Huh" Ravel said in confusion. This came out of nowhere.

"Technically I summoned you to answer my question. You did that so shouldn't I give you something in return." Issei admitted.

Ravel was a little flustered by what he said and she wasn't sure how to answer. "Consider the bird from our date as payment." Ravel said with an odd expression on her face.

"Okay" Issei smiled as Ravel teleported away. With Ravel gone Issei took a moment to think about the latest revelations but the more he thought about it, the less he liked the current situation.

(ORC)

As she sat in her clubroom, Rias Gremory could not hide the look of annoyance that appeared on her face due to the way things had changed over the last few days and it all came back to Issei Hyoudou. She knew the young man had a date with one of the fallen angels and had prepared her summoning circle in order to bring the young man into her peerage. Oddly enough the circle was never used so Rias believed the young man had died. However, when she went to see his family the next day to erase their memories, Issei was there and very much alive.

Wondering what could've happened, she sent her knight Kiba towards the abandoned church where the fallen angels were located and he discovered that the church was now truly abandoned. A part of Rias was curious what happened, but that part vanished quickly in favor of figuring out her Issei problem.

"Lady Rias is everything okay" a young nun named Asia asked bashfully as she walked into the room. Asia was a young nun that Koneko ran into during her morning sweet run. The young woman asked her for directions to the abandoned church and after a small explanation from Koneko she was brought to Kuoh. Sona was not pleased when she told her what happened with Asia and the Fallen Angels so it was decided she would confront Issei.

"I'm fine Asia. I'm just a little tired." Rias frowned. Something was very wrong with all of this and she needed answers.

"Okay" Asia replied before leaving Rias to her business.

The next few days were anti-climactic for all parties. Rias hesitated to go to Issei out of fear and Issei went straight home each day began training to get stronger so his gear would be more powerful. He hadn't reached out to Ravel since he had a feeling that, despite everything she had told him, she was still hiding something major. Issei couldn't forget the fact that she knocked him out with one punch after their date which meant that she was a powerhouse in her own right. "So Partner what are you going to do" Ddraig wondered.

Issei smiled at the words of the dragon inside his sacred gear. They began talking a few days ago and the dragon had given him excellent advice on his training and on how to use his new power. "Nothing for now Ddraig? I have to wait for somebody else to act" Issei replied as he left Kuoh after having a small workout at the school's gym, a piece of advice said dragon gave him. Rias hadn't confronted him and Ravel hadn't reached out to him as of yet so he couldn't rush things. As he arrived at the entrance to the school he found Rias Gremory waiting for him.

"Hello Issei may I have a word." Rias said calmly.

Issei frowned since this was Rias's first action against him since her impromptu visit, "Sorry but I have things to do." Issei replied walking by her. He wanted to bait her instead of just giving in easily.

"Yuma Amano" Rias said calmly causing Issei to freeze. Because Rias was behind him she didn't see the fierce look on Issei's eyes and how annoyed he was.

"What about her. We broke up a few days ago. Now if you don't mind I'd very much like to go home" Issei replied coldly.

Rias was taken aback by his coldness and it was bothering her far more than she cared to admit. "Alright" Rias replied before leaving Issei to his devices. Something was very wrong with Issei and that confirmed it.

(Scene Skip)

With school over Friday, Issei made his way home to enjoy the weekend after the life changing week. The date with Yuuma, meeting Ravel and the revelations about the dragon inside him, the odd situation with Rias, it was enough for most people and honestly it was all getting on his nerves. Quickly making his way up to his room he put his school stuff away and changed into a red shirt and black shorts that were his workout clothes at home since he didn't like the odd looks he got at the school's gym. Just as he finished his workout a familiar glow appeared in his room and Ravel popped out. This time her outfit was a pink blouse and black shorts along with red stockings and a pair of white sneakers "So what brings you to my house Ravel" Issei said with a smile having finished his last set of pushups.

Ravel pouted slightly at Issei's reaction having expected him to freak out, but she also noticed that Issei was working out which was a pleasant surprise, "Normally somebody's not that calm when somebody appears in their bedroom." Ravel frowned not bringing up what he was doing.

Issei stood up and smiled, "True but I kinda figured you'd be coming to see me sooner or later." Issei replied. Mentally he was thrilled that she appeared right after his workout instead of while he was playing with himself, which would've really made things interesting.

"Is that so" Ravel said with a raised eyebrow.

Issei stared at Ravel with a piercing gaze that slightly unnerved her, "Yes and now that I'm here it's time for you to answer a question for me Ravel." Issei said coldly.

"What's that" Ravel replied slightly bothered by Issei's sudden attitude change.

"What's your connection to Rias Gremory?" Issei asked with a wicked smile on his face. Yuuma was dead so the only thing Ravel would be interested in would be Rias and his connection to her, the question was now why.

"I don't have one" Ravel frowned.

Issei simply got off from the bed and walked towards his closet and grabbed a jacket, "If that's the case you won't mind if I go over to the ORC and ask Rias about you."

Ravel winced since Issei had her trapped. She was hoping to lead Issei on and eventually add him to the Phenex peerage, but that wouldn't work if he went to Rias now. "Issei wait" Ravel said bashfully aware that she had no other choice but to answer his question.

"I'm listening." Issei smiled as he walked over to his desk and sat down.

"The truth is that Rias is engaged to my older brother Riser. Due to devil politics it was arranged for them as children and Rias hates him. Rias wanted your power because her only chance of getting out of the marriage is via a competition known as the Rating Games. Unfortunately for Rias, my brother not only has a full peerage, but has experience in these games. Rias believed that the only chance she has of beating my brother is if she gets a ringer on her side." Ravel explained.

That was a lot to take it, but he was curious about something else, "Does Rias have a reason to hate your brother?" Issei questioned.

Ravel paused since she knew Issei wouldn't like her response, "As much as I hate to say it, she does. My brother is a lot like you and your friends, except he doesn't have to resort to peeping to get what he wants. He can simply use the influence of his family among other means to get women" Ravel frowned.

Issei should've been annoyed by the response, since it meant Ravel was watching him long before she interrupted his date but he expected that, "So how long were you watching me for before you interrupted my date with Yuuma?"

Ravel frowned since Issei was far more perceptive then she thought, "Around two weeks." Ravel said bashfully aware that she was on thin ice.

"Alright" Issei smiled. Now he understood the players and understood the game and that meant it was finally time to fight back.

"Is there anything else?" Ravel wondered nervously. She already revealed far more than she intended to and she was in danger of losing Issei at this rate.

"Nope" Issei smiled having got his answers.

"O…kay" Ravel frowned before remembering something. "There's the little matter of my payment." Ravel said unconvincingly.

Issei chuckled since she was the one who appeared. "Considering that you're the one who came to me this isn't a contract visit" Issei said cheekily.

Ravel groaned since Issei was right and he hadn't seen past her trick, "Fine, but can you make me one promise." Ravel said nervously.

"Sure" Issei replied figuring that it wouldn't hurt to humor her.

"Keep the circle with you at all times. Rias is oddly persistent when she wants to be." Ravel warned.

"Sure" Issei smiled since that wasn't a big deal.

(Scene Skip)

A late night run to the comic store made Issei smile like a loon since he needed some new material. The guy who runs the place sold him porn for years, and getting a new magazine always made him happy. "What a night" Issei smiled happily as he held his porn in his right hand. He was going to enjoy a good fap and then enjoy his weekend.

"Partner look out" Ddraig yelled out.

"Ddraig what's…?" Issei started to say before he was stabbed in the back out of nowhere. Turning to face his attacker he quickly swiped at the mask he was wearing using his left hand catching the person off guard. Issei was stunned when he saw a very familiar face had attacked him. It was the school's male idol Kiba Yuuto.

"Shit" Kiba cursed before moving away at high speed.

"Partner do you have the circle. Using it might be your only chance" Ddraig screamed mentally.

'Yeah' Issei smiled happily. Using the last of his strength he focused on the circle and thought of Ravel before collapsing. Right next to the collapsing Issei a magic circle glowed and Ravel appeared in her pink dress but this time it was her younger self.

"Issei!" Ravel exclaimed noticing Issei on the floor and that he was bleeding badly. She was in her younger appearance but that didn't matter. Saving Issei was priority.

"Partner was attacked by somebody but we don't have time to discuss it. He needs help and fast." Ddraig said nervously.

Ravel frowned knowing that there was only one thing she could do. Reaching into her pocket, she grabbed a vial and quickly opened it before pouring the liquid down Issei's throat and transforming into her older self. "Welsh Dragon, please don't tell Issei about my younger self." Ravel pleaded as Issei began to wake up.

"I won't child. Consider it a thank you for saving my partner, but you will have to tell him eventually." Ddraig grumbled before fading as Issei's eyes opened.

"You saved me." Issei smiled as he slowly got up.

"I'll meet you back at your house, but you have to tell me what happened." Ravel frowned. She had a bad feeling she knew the answer and if that was the case things really have changed

(Scene Skip)

Issei returned home and managed to get upstairs without too much trouble. Tossing his damaged shirt into the dirty clothes Issei got on a new shirt and focused on the magic circle that would bring Ravel to him. When Ravel appeared she had a frown on her face that faded when she saw Issei. "What happened to you Issei? You summoned me and I find you bleeding on the street." Ravel frowned as she stood in front of him.

"I was walking back from the comic store when I was attacked by somebody I know."

"Who was it?" Ravel frowned the bad feeling in the back of her mind becoming more prominent.

"A classmate of mine named Kiba Yuuto." Issei replied angrily.

"No!" Ravel said in shock.

"Yep and for the life of me I don't know why." Issei frowned.

Ravel's face became an odd mix of anger and fury, "I know why Issei and you're not going to like it." Ravel frowned.

"Why" Issei wondered unsure of what could've caused it.

Ravel's expression darkened, "He did it because his Master Rias Gremory ordered him too." Ravel said coldly.

Issei's eyes widened once again and his confusion and sorrow turned to rage. Rias couldn't get him via Yuuma and now that he hadn't come to her she targeted him again and this time she nearly succeeded. "She'll pay for this. Rias Gremory will pay!" Issei growled his rage slowly building.

Ravel was furious but at the same time relieved. She wondered how she could convince Issei to help her but now she had her moment. "Then Issei how about I help you get your revenge on Rias. Make her suffer for what she did to you." Ravel said in a dark voice that wouldn't have made sense for her before. But now she was angry. Issei was a kind human who despite everything had never asked anything unreasonable of her.

"So what's the plan?" Issei smiled happily. As Ravel began to explain her plan to Issei, internally she was thrilled that her efforts had yielded her such a reward.

That's it for Chapter 1 everybody and it's just getting started. Next time Issei takes the fight to an unsuspecting Rias and he's out for blood.
