Here it is, the beginning of my first fanfiction, and starting it with highschool dxd because why not. For some context, this story begins from Volume 11 where Issei, Kiba and Akeno have had their Mid-class promotion test and then Cao Cao's group came in and put them in an alternate dimension, after that they fight some grim reapers who were accompanied by Shalba Beelzebub and Leonardo. Then Leonardo made a real big monster. Then Issei decided to fight Shalba and then he told his group to make a dragon gate to call him.
Basically, read Volume 11 of the HSDXD light novels, it will help in giving you context
"The preparation of the summoning magic circle is complete. We will open the Dragon-Gate." Said Azazel.
The Gremory group along with the people who were involved were on the Transportation floor. They were currently opening the Dragon-Gate to summon Issei. Tannin was assisting in opening the dragon gate, and Vali was waiting at the side while he was enduring the damage from Samael.
The underworld was in chaos. The monsters which were created by Leonardo, the possessor of the sacred gear "Annihilation Maker" were rampaging in the underworld. The Devils, Angles and the Fallen Angels were deploying their counter-attack squads, but they were unable to face the formidable monsters. The monsters were able to create more anti-monsters by themselves while they are advancing forward.
"Issei-kun, we need you. There are many children in the capital waiting for you to come! Please come back." Kiba said to himself.
"….Yes! It's connected!" Azazel shouted. The magic-circle which was created is starting to glow. The jewel of Fafnir that Azazel held glowed in a golden colour. Vali's body also emitted a white-light. Tannin's body glowed in a purple colour. The light was so intense that most of the group needed to block the light with their hands.
The light stopped
What appeared at the magic circle was….8 pawn pieces. Crimson red, just like Rias's Hair.
For a moment, everyone was confused….until Azazel went pale and dropped on his knees lifelessly
"…..YOU IDIOT!"
Azazel let out a scream of rage while he said those words. That's when the group started to understand what happened.
Rias looked like she had her life sucked out of her.
Akeno sat down of the floor not blinking once.
Asia still couldn't understand what had happened.
Ravel and Koneko both were weeping in denial. They did not want to believe what they just saw.
Kiba leaned back on a wall close by and looked to the sky, with tears forming on his eyes.
That was the day, when the world lost the beloved Oppai-Dragon.
{Scene Change}
The counter squads sent out by the three factions we're finally able to overpower the monsters. Since Shalba was eradicated, it seems like the monsters were not able to use their full strength for long. After the monsters were defeated, all the 3 factions were busy in fixing the mess the monsters cause. Sure it was a lot of work, but they were more than happy with the outcome.
However, with the Gremory group, things were much different. No one has seen Rias for days as she locked herself in her room. Akeno was crying most of the time, and the times she was not crying, she had a hollow and lifeless expression on her face. Asia couldn't seem to stop crying, she wanted to be with Issei, she wanted to go where he was….however she knew that it wasn't possible unless she dies, and she knew that Issei will be upset if she dies. She had a multitude of emotions bombarding her and she doesn't know how to fight them. Koneko had a stotic expression as always, but, if you knew her, you can tell that she is extremely hurt. Her eyes were lifeless, even more so than before, and she looked like she was on the brink of killing herself. Ravel didn't fare better, even after her brothers came to comfort her, she was always shedding tears. Kiba was the only one who could keep his composure, mostly. He had a straight face when he was talking to anyone, but below that mask he forced himself to wear, he was no less depressed than the others. During times like this, Issei was the one who would talk to them and cheer them up, but who will do that now?
*Ding-Dong*
The door bell suddenly rings. Kiba, being the only one who was able to think straight for the most part, went to open the door. As he opened the door, he was met by 4 faces he did not want to face right now.
"We're back!" Said Irina. It seemed like the news didn't reach them yet, considering the happy tone Irina was speaking in.
"We told the truth to Archangel Michael and the Vali group are no longer suspected to have been working with the Old Maou Faction." Xenovia said. "We met Sirzechs on our way here, and we told him what we knew. He was really relieved that Vali's Group was actually on our side, since it would have been hectic to fight a group with that much power. Heck, he even said that Kuroka is no longer considered a stray, as he was researching a bit on her old master and considering what Kuroka told us and from what Sirzechs could gather, her old master was a really abusive guy and used his peerage for experiments, and what Kuroka did to him was gonna be done to him sooner or later." She added, feeling really happy that they don't have to be under constant pressure of associating with a stray devil
"My training proved really useful as well! However im sorry for not being there at such a time, I didn't know." Said Rossweisse, with an apologetic tone towards the end.
Kiba made a small smile on seeing them, but on the inside he knew that it was him who was going to tell them about Issei.
"I cant wait to train with Issei-Senpai. I'll show him that I've gotten strong and I will assist him on his dream!" Gasper added energetically.
After hearing gasper, Kiba started to form tears in his eyes, but quickly blinked them away. How was he ever going to tell them that Issei….
"Come in, its good to see you all" Kiba escorted them inside. Judging from his voice the 4 could feel that Kiba wasn't feeling the best, but they just thought that he was tired.
Akeno was sitting on the couch when they all entered. They saw Akeno's hollow expression and were confused by it.
"Akeno-san, we have returned" Said Xenovia. "Akeno-san?" She said after noticing that Akeno didn't quite hear them.
"Oh, welcome back" Said Akeno with a really hollow voice, it seems like she didn't have energy to do anything.
Koneko, Ravel and Asia came down to the living room.
"Welcome back" said Koneko, who was more lifeless than usual. Ravel and Asia we're not able to respond without breaking down completely, so they just bowed.
"What is up with you all? I would expect you all to be tired after the huge battle, but you all seem like you guys went to hell and came back, AND YOU GUYS LIVE THERE!" Said Irina, who was really shocked at how lifeless everyone was.
"Where is Rias? And also Issei? I would expect him to lighten the really down mood everyone has." Rossweisse commented.
Upon hearing his name, the girls couldn't hold it anymore. Akeno, Asia and Ravel started crying. Even Koneko was weeping.
Irina, Xenovia, Rossweisse and Gasper were really…REALLY confused. They turned to Kiba, who was barely able to keep himself from completely breaking down.
"What happened here!?" asked Irina.
Kiba didn't even have the courage to look at them, he couldn't imagine all what those 4 would feel after they heard the news.
"Issei….." Kiba started, "….is dead"
Aaannndddd here is where I end the first chapter, I know its kinda short but i feel like this chapter should not be too long, as it wont make much sense to make it longer or to stretch it further than i already have ;p. This is my first fanfic so i would really appreciate ANY sort of criticism as long as its not direct hate. I will try to make more as soon as possible.
