I do not own Dxd, nor Rwby, I only own the Oc

"Powerful Entities Talking" (Such as dragons and angry gods who are shouting)

[Boost]: Boosted Gear Callouts

I stare blankly up into the pale blue sky, snowy white clouds peacefully passing overhead.

'Isekai...'

I look down at my hands.

'I'm tiny... fuck.'

I slowly turn around; I am on a clifftop of some sort overlooking a massive green forest, so I should probably get away from the edge.

'Where... what?'

I flinch at the sudden deep voice, nearly tumbling completely off the cliff behind me.

'Careful partner! I don't think your body would survive that fall.'

'WHOTHEFUCKISTHAT?!'

'Ah... I see... you don't know of the supernatural... that is a slight problem then... my name is Y Ddraig Goch, the Welsh dragon! Thousands of years ago I was sealed in an item, an item that was bound to your soul upon your birth.'

'…'

A smile slowly appears on my face as I bring a hand up to my chest to try and calm the rapid beating.

'And that item's name is-'

"The Boosted Gear..." I whisper under my breath.

'How... do you know that- wait... do you see that?'

I stare blankly ahead as a black creature with a pale white bone mask steps from the treeline, it seems to be some kind of wolf, it stalks forwards on four legs before swapping to its hind legs.

White bone spikes protrude from its elbows and knees, its ribcage also seems to be outside of its body.

'what the hell is that?'

"Grimm..." I mutter to myself.

It is clear now... I have been reincarnated into Rwby with the boosted gear... hell, did I even die? I don't remember it if I did.

'How do you get reincarnated into a Ruby- PARTNER DODGE!'

I am snapped out of my daze as the wolf lunges for me.

I dive to the ground, the grimm barely missing me as it tears through the spot my upper torso was moments before...

And promptly falls off the cliff.

"…"

I look over the cliff to see it impaled on a tree below, it is surprisingly still alive, and is trying to free itself so it can climb back up here and kill me.

'Partner. look. We can sort out all of our thoughts later... for now, we should probably get to someplace safe.'

'hn. Maybe.'

I hold up my left hand. 'or I could do this.'

*SHIIIIN*

With a flash of red a large gauntlet covers my arm up to my elbow, it has a large green gem on the back of the palm, and red spikes along the sides, leading up to a single yellow spike.

'You... summoned the whole thing... you are just a child! How did you summon the entire thing?! You should have had to go through the twice critical phase... but I suppose this explains how I can talk to you.'

It disappears with several motes of red light.

'sooo... how many boosts do you think I could take?'

'None? I haven't exactly seen you do much beyond duck under a lycanthrope then summon the boosted gear.'

'ah. That's fair.'

I begin walking away from the cliff.

'soooo... Ddraig, why and how are you here?'

'what do you mean? You were born with my sacred gear... of course I would be here.'

'I don't think Remnant has sacred gears...'

'Remnant?'

'eh, I'm pretty sure that's where we are... if the soulless murder beasts are any indication... here, two gods made a mourning woman immortal so she couldn't see her dead husband, in the afterlife, then when she used said immortality to grow an army to overthrow them, they just killed everyone, got rid of magic, and blew up half the fucking moon.'

'anyways, the creatures of grimm exist still, humanity re-evolves, and the elder brother sends the immortal's husband back to the land of the living, making him immortal as well, then is all 'oh yeah, bring me and my brother back one day so we may judge humanity and see if it is worth keeping around' and granted him four powerful relics that when gathered summon the gods.'

'…'

'magic... is gone?'

'except for six people.'

'this... isn't the world I know... you are correct... I do not come from this plane.'

'nor do I... but it looks like we are stuck here for the time being.'

I pause as we come across a path in the forest.

I look left, then right.

'which way do I go... hrm...'

'Right.'

'any particular reason why?'

'Red starts with an R... as does Right.'

'good enough for me.' I shrug. 'right is always right.'

I turn right and begin walking.

I blink slowly as I stare at a dilapidated house, broken windows, overgrown grass, the door isn't even on its hinges anymore.

'A house... that should be safe, right?'

'oh no.'

'what- oh... I see it now... how did you even sense them before me? I thought you were human.'

I hear quiet squeaks coming from behind me as a young girl pulling a red wagon crests over the hill.

I hear the great dragon residing in my left-hand sigh. 'I would have suggested running... but you are going to try and save that girl, aren't you?'

'girls, not girl.'

'why is a small girl like that even out here in the first place when you have those grimm monsters running around? And- is that an even younger one in the wagon?'

'yep.'

I stare blankly ahead with a half-lidded expression as a beowolf climbs through a broken window, a second through the open door, then a final one comes around the corner and sniffs the air.

*SHIIN*

The red gauntlet appears on my hand.

'welp... let's shee how many boosts I can handle, eh?'

[BOOST!]

If the grimm didn't notice me before, the red gauntlet on my hand loudly shouting 'boost' probably got their attention.

They as a group rush forwards as I raise the boosted gear.

'You do realize you are boosting your child body, correct? You are at most on par with a regular human adult... probably less.'

'I am well aware.'

"KYAAAA!" I hear a voice shout behind me.

'That won't stop me from trying!'

Thirty feet... twenty feet... ten feet.

Five...

Four...

Three...

Two...

I step forwards.

[BOOST!]

[EXPLOSION!]

With a burst of speed, I slip just under the first grimm's armpit, slashing my gauntlet's sharp fingers along its side.

One of its ribs is sent flying with a sickening crunch as I widen my eyes, I quickly swing my hand downward towards the second beowolf running on all four legs.

[RESET!]

'shit.'

'RUN PARTNER'

My fingers stab into the throat of the second beowolf, and with a flick, I tear them out.

I raise my arms and wince as block a slash from the final beowolf, my feet leave the ground as I hear a small crack in my arm, a wave of pain washing over my limb as I feel slightly nauseous.

'Your arm was broken.'

My back collides roughly with the forest floor, skipping once as I slide to a halt just in front of a tree, my body wracked with pain as the boosted gear forcibly un-summons.

'o-oh right... four-year-old body... n-not very durable.'

'Well... I suppose you've had a good run, partner... this was all just bad luck, really... even if you sacrificed your entire body, I don't see you surviving this...'

I flinch as a gunshot rings out, the closest beowolf's head violently exploding, the movement causing another wave of pain to course through my body.

'…'

'well, that was unexpected... maybe you have good luck after all.'

'd-dizzy...'

'it's fine, partner, you can go ahead and pass out. None of your organs are damaged, you aren't concussed, and it appears that help has arrived... you did surprisingly well all things considered, I fairly certain you even killed one.'

'…'

"Kid! Shit! Are you alright?!"

"Kid!"

"…"

"Damnit."

I slowly sit up, wincing as a dull throb makes its way through my left arm.

'Oh. You're awake...'

"Mn? Who- oh. Right."

My shoulders slump.

'it wasn't a dream apparently...'

'Seems that way.'

'Soooo, Ddraig, anything interesting happen after I passed out?'

'that drunk did... something... your soul seems to be stronger now.'

'he unlocked my aura, hm?'

'Aura?'

'A power that uses the soul to enhance strength, speed and senses, then create a barrier around your body to protect from what would normally be lethal wounds. Plus everyone gets a semblance, a special ability that's unique to them or their family... it can range from simple things like dulling your own emotions, to absolutely fucking stupid things like stealing semblances... or that one hereditary semblance that lets you manipulate time, summon grimm, walk on air, shoot ice, hold things in place- I could really go on, but hey... how do you think aura will affect the boosted gear?'

'Aura... hrm... it has potential... I can see it... it can boost your physical capabilities, yes? Some of my partners in the past wielded Touki to great effect, I assume this will be similar.'

'Grand. Will my body break from using both at the same time?'

'it shouldn't... Touki didn't... it also doesn't have the pesky little flaw that you need to either train your body to its peak or know senjutsu. In fact, I could potentially teach it to all of my future wielders... this looks like another point for Y Ddraig Goch!'

'hrm... yeah, I suppose it might put your host above that white asshole's depending on semblance.'

'Alright. How do you know this? You know things, boy... things you really shouldn't. You also act considerably older than you are.'

'The term is 'Isekai'. I have been killed and reborn in to something that was nothing more than fiction in my old life... with a power from another piece of fiction from my old life...'

'Wh-'

'Of course, I never really watched more than one season of Dxd, considering it was literally just porn with plot, but I've read quite a bit about it, and that was enough to find out about balance breakers, the boosted gear gift, the fact that Albion had a wielder who was literally a relative to THE Satan, somehow winning the lottery and getting a wielder who can use Juggernaut Drive without going insane due to his demonic power or whatever- as I said, never really got that far- while you were stuck with a human pervert with an obsession for tits, got killed and reincarnated as a devil pawn, and somehow got powerups from touching his master's breasts... look, your partner was a fucking dumbass, gonna be real... speaking of which, are you Pre-Issei DDraig, or after Issei?'

'…'

'DDraig?'

'Did he at least defeat the white one?'

'Ah... so pre-issei... nah. They became buddy-buddy I'm pretty sure... though he did have a moment where he stole Albion's power through an asspull and made the 'dividing gear' which nearly killed him... that was pretty neat.'

'HE STOLE ALBION'S POWER?! Is... that even possible?!'

'I mean, you said something along the lines of 'most devils live almost forever, but you won't be one of them, so I'm pretty sure it had a cost... plus he absorbed the holy anti-dragon sword Ascalon shortly beforehand as well.'

'he... does not sound as bad-'

'he had a power to read attacks based on the jiggle on an enemy's tits.'

'…'

'well, that is an advantage... as long as he didn't tell everyone about it-'

'he had the power to tear off a woman's clothes with just a touch and shouted about getting a harem even when he was human.'

'…'

'yeah, if and when I die, and you possibly get put in him again... please smack his shit for me at least once. In exchange I'll try to learn the ins and outs of Aura so you can pass it on to future wielders.'

I hear the mountainous dragon let out a sigh. 'let's say I believe that 'otherworldly entertainment' thing... what now?'

'eh, get as strong as possible... kill the two gods who made this place maybe? I mean, you are a sacred gear that can kill gods after all.'

'oooh... what if I absorb the power of the four relics they left behind... that might be something else you can pass down to your next wielders... and while I have no idea what three of them do, one lets you ask three questions every one hundred years with one hundred percent accuracy... but then I won't be able to summon the gods. Hrm... decisions, decisions.'

'I meant goals in the near future.'

'huh... probably get out of bed, walk down stairs, then get noticed by the people who saved me.'

'that drunkard gave you to a woman... the mother of one of those two children you saved.'

'w- wait... silver eyes, black hair, red tips?'

'Yes... her hair is a nice color indeed...'

'S-She should be dead at this point in the story! What about her husband?! Blonde, blue eyes, tattoo on his arm?'

'I didn't see anyone who looked like that...'

'did... I get put in a universe where Summer survived and Taiyang died?!'

'I take it that this is quite different than what you saw.'

'YES! I have no idea what sort of ramifications this will have! Will the protagonists even want to be huntresses anymore?! Will the bad guy succeed completely in her goals for the fall maiden's magic on her first try?!'

'look... partner... your very existence in this world... has changed it irreversibly... you never existed here... I never existed here... the mere fact that we do is proof that this world is different than the one you saw. There's no point in planning for what originally happened... we can only walk forwards blindly and take this on the chin. I may not know a lot about this world, hell, even discounting the future you saw, you still probably have a lot more generic information than me, but I will be here to help you when you need it... let's bite the proverbial bullet and get up, walk down those steps, and meet the people who have been taking care of you for the past two days.'

I let out a sigh. 'Thanks, Ddraig... but not all of my knowledge may be worthless... there are still characters I want to meet and potentially change for the better.'

'and potentially court, correct?'

'…'

'you do realize I can read your thoughts correct?'

'…'

'no comment.'

'You gave this 'Issei' character your grievances, yet are perhaps just as perverted as he is... or was... or is going to be... this 'Future Vision' stuff is bullshit, Partner.'

'Alright. First off, I'm not going to develop a power purely for stripping girls. Second, I'm not going to just shout about harems, jerking off, or watching porn in public like he did... those are personal thoughts... that every guy probably has. Third: I'm probably not going to use my new power to peep on changing girls. Don't compare me to that jackass.'

''Probably not' he says.'

'hey, I can't talk for future me... it just depends on how hard puberty hits me.'

'You should stop stalling.'

I let out a low mutter. "I mean, yeah, but I'm not sure how badly walking is going to hurt me... ah well, let's get this over with."

I let out a sharp breath as I swing my legs over the side of the bed and slowly get up.

'See? Was that so bad?'

'Nope. But I'm dreading those stairs.'

I slowly limp to the door and open it with a quiet creak and look outside.

'Should I really go out there? I mean... wouldn't it be more polite to just wait for someone to come to me?'

'Brat. Go.'

'fine, fine... jeez.'

I open the door and slowly walk out, looking left and right.

I hear a dull murmur from downstairs, the quiet hum of a tv as it plays mutedly... just background noise, really.

'hey Ddraig...'

'Yes, Partner?'

'what exactly do I look like?'

'Black hair, red eyes, slightly fanged teeth.'

'hn. Alright.'

I eventually make it to the stairs, pausing briefly as I look down them, they go down briefly before hitting a wall and turning... the Tv is below me, possibly slightly to the right of where I am facing.

'I wonder how they'll look at me... will they think I'm weird?'

'Go. Walk down the fucking stairs what happened to the brat who wanted to kill gods?!'

'he realized that he still has social anxiety.'

'Walk. Down. The Stairs.'

I slowly take a step forward.

*Creeeeeak*

"…"

I take another step forward.

*Creaaak*

"…"

Luckily, I'm down far enough that I can peer around the corner.

"W-What are you doing out of bed?!" A voice exclaims from behind me.

My flinch carries me nearly an inch off the ground.

I whirl around and bring an arm to my chest with a small wince.

"You're still hurt, aren't you!"

Standing towering above me, is a woman, towering above me at the height of around five feet or so.

She has deep red hair, turning into a lighter red at the tips, silver eyes, and pale skin, she wears a black sundress and has some of her hair pulled into a small bun behind her head while leaving the rest to flow to her shoulders.

"U-Uh." I begin.

"Shush! You better get back to bed, mister!" I get cut off.

"I'm not... hurt." I whisper to myself.

She kneels down in front of me... an action requiring a considerable amount of dexterity considering we are currently on stairs.

"Hey..." She whispers in a quiet voice. "Don't lie to me, alright... I can tell you're still hurt... I just want you to get better, alright?"

"What's your name?"

"U-Uh... Lapis?" I answer.

"Well, come on Lapis..." She reaches down and gently picks me up, smiling briefly at me and rubbing the back of my head with a hand.

"…"

She steps back into the room I just left and sets me down on the bed.

"Now, you wait right there... I'll be right back."

She leaves and closes the door behind her with a quiet click.

'well... that was a thing...'

'I'd say that went rather well.'

After a couple seconds I realize she isn't immediately coming back, so I decide to move onto the innerworkings of my 'GODLY POWAH'

'So, how does the boosted gear actually work? Does it boost strength and speed only?'

'and magic power.'

'Can I use it to boost other things? Like, I know I'll eventually unlock 'transfer', so like can I transfer the boosts to my mind to make me smarter? Could I transfer the boosts to immaterial things like my luck? Could I boost my Aura further, or hell, completely recharge by doubling my current aura percentage? Can I boost my healing rate?'

'…'

'Ddraig?'

'Many of my partners don't try to experiment with boosts... they see Strength, Durability, Speed, and Magic Potential, and leave it at that... a couple have boosted their senses before, and it worked somewhat, but maybe don't try to boost things critical for your survival... as for luck and healing? I'm not sure if that would even work... then for the aura thing, I've never come across it before, so I know really nothing about it.'

'Well, aura apparently allows me to heal faster, so if I transfer boosts to it do you think it'd increase the healing as well?'

'Maybe? As I said, I know nothing about this 'Aura' ability.'

'that's fair.'

I cover my mouth as I yawn, slumping back against the pillows behind me.

I glance around the room, it is pale blue, a small bedside table to my left, and a window with closed darker blue curtains to my right.

I stare up at the ceiling, it's the same color as the walls.

I lean to the side and look to the floor, noticing that the wooden floor is a black color, a pale white circular rug sitting just beyond, slightly extending below the bed.

I tap my fingers nervously on the bedsheets below me as I look to the front, seeing a simple dresser and drawers, a door in the corner of the room leading to what I assume to be a closet or bathroom.

'This room... is really blue...'

'Sort of a pain to the eyes, hn?'

'You don't even have eyes.'

'Low blow, Partner.'

'I call it like I see it.'

'I hope you don't speak your mind and flirt with the recently widowed woman, then.'

'…'

'I'm in your head, remember... plus, I call it like I see it.'

'ohoho I think we are going to be good friends you big red bastard.'

'Sure, you can take a joke at least. Some partners are always serious and it gets annoying... banter is nice.'

I stare blankly at the door for about a minute.

'So... when do you think Summer is coming back?'

'The woman's name is Summer?'

'Yep.'

'I see.'

We sit in silence for another couple of moments.

"…"

"…"

"…"

'So... Balance Breakers... how do I get it?'

'Emotion.'

'ah. You think I could get a partial balance breaker where I turn the one gauntlet into two? It would boost twice every ten seconds, and I could call it the 'double boost'. Hell, you could maybe even turn it into a thing like the boosted gear gift... make it a 'third liberation' or something.'

'Potentially... it may work, I just hope you don't lose this creativity... creativity is a mighty force with a sacred gear.'

I scoot across the bed and pull the curtains back, gazing out the window, looking to trees of assorted colors... reds, oranges, yellows, brown, even a couple green dotted throughout the canopy... or I would be if it wasn't night... all I can see are whitish-grey, grey, darker grey, black, lighter grey.

I look back to the door after about a minute.

'sooo... do you think I could handle three Boosts now?'

'Potentially.'

'I see. Also, what does 'Explosion' even do? Boost makes me feel a real difference, but explosion? The series said something about 'unleashing the stored power within the boosted gear, but does it really? Does the boosted gear actually store power? It doesn't seem like it... I was definitely faster and stronger before it called out 'Explosion' so what's the deal?'

'Explosion is different than 'Boost', it lets you tap into a fraction of the power stored within the gauntlet by hundreds of users before you... the higher you can boost before you reach your limit, the more power is revealed... it is mainly used as a warning to tell you that you've reached your limit before giving you a small incremental increase of power, much less than a boost, mind you, to push you past your limit.'

'interesting... how much would you say the increase is?'

'Five percent... or less... potentially game changing, at higher levels of boost, you have the potential of adding even several times your base power to yourself again.'

'Theoretically, couldn't I reach a 'cap' to the power Explosion gives me?'

'Potentially... though I seriously doubt you could make it that far, partner.'

'ouch.'

'I am just stating facts... I doubt that I, even in my prime, could bring out all the stored power gathered over thousands of years... and you are Human... even if you master Aura... and figure out how to use Touki, I seriously doubt that would put you on par with myself... base-power wise, at least... you may potentially surpass my own base power with only a few boosts if Aura is compatible with Touki. I honestly wonder how the two powers will affect each other... and if it kills you... well, at least I know to tell my future partners not to do it.'

'Ouch. You seriously don't care about me, Partner?'

'To be fair, we have only been in each other's presence for nearly three days... and most of that was spent with you unconscious. Admittedly, if you get to a point where you can use both... it will most likely be several years in the future... and by that point, I may be more attached, but humans don't live that long, partner... it's like how humans keep pets knowing they will die much sooner than they will, they force themselves through the pain in exchange for many more 'good' memories to remember them by.'

'And I prefer to keep my hosts separate... only two have gained the right of staying in my memories from host to host- well... actually it's three now I suppose... Aura alone has made you worth remembering... Even if you haven't done much yet, I suppose I'll just have to wait and see if you do anything else worth remembering.'

I flinch at the click of the door.

Summer enters the room again. "Hey, hey, calm down, it's just me..."

In her hands is a little tray with four folding legs extending off the bottom corners. "I-I thought you'd be hungry, after all, you haven't eaten in two days... so I fixed you some soup."

"Okay?"

She sets the tray down with a smile and sits on the foot of the bed.

I stare at her for a good ten seconds before she begins to speak. "You should really eat before it gets cold."

"…"

I slowly reach out with my right hand, clumsily grabbing the spoon.

I tilt my head down at the bowl of soup. 'chicken noodle, hm?'

"So..." Summer quietly begins. "What... were you doing out in the forest all alone, Lapis?"

'Uhhhh...'

'Feign ignorance.'

"I dunno..."

The woman frowns. "You really don't know?"

"Nope." I shake my head.

'Honestly the truth.'

She frowns slightly.

*This is where I stopped writing*

This was something that has been locked in the vaults for a while, pretty sure there was a gamer fic where some dude had divine dividing, but I'm pretty sure it got deleted ages ago.

Anyways, here take this.
