AN: Hey guys, so my friend francisthewitcher has a story on that he really wants me to tell you guys about. It's called Unbreakable Will, and it's a crossover between My Hero Academia and Kengan Ashura. Check it out if you're interested. It has a fem Izuku, if that's something you're interested in.

We lost a true legend in the form of Kevin Conroy. The man that has voiced Batman in everything from Batman: TAS to the Arkham games and many, many Batman series.

RIP Kevin Conroy

1955-2022

Asia vanished.

She was gone when the light that appeared out of nowhere died down, taking her with it. The little blonde girl had just disappeared from the room and was nowhere to be seen. Kenny was absolutely stunned and could only stare at the place where she last was.

"A…Asia…?" Kenny asked, his body shaking.

"Asia?" asked a stunned Xenovia in a hushed voice, just as stunned at Kenny. Kiba's body tensed up as he gritted his teeth in anger and confusion. He and the others looked around their surroundings.

"Where is she?" Gasper asked, but no one had an answer. They were all in the dark about what was going on.

"What happened?" Koneko asked, just as confused.

Rias and Akeno froze in place, merely staring at the spot where Asia once was. Not sure what was going on.

"I think that's quite enough of this nonsense, Diodora Astaroth." said a new voice, as a light green magic circle appeared before them.

"Who are you?!" Rias snapped that demand.

Appearing from the circle was a handsome man dressed in black armor with a cape. He had long brown hair that went to his hips with many bangs covering his right eye. "Dear little sister of the despicable and fake Devil King. Who I am is the one and true descendant of the great Devil Beelzebub. I'm Shalba Beelzebub." He said with his arms crossed.

Rias could only glare intensely at the man. Her anger boiled her blood. "What do you want?!"

Coughing up blood, Diodora struggled to stand up as he looked up at Shalba. "Shalba…help me!" He begged as his arrogant smirk returned to his face. "Imagine if the old and current Devil Kings combine their—"

BLAST!

Diodora never got to finish his sentence when a hole was blasted through his chest.

"And thus, a maggot dies," Shalba said with closed eyes, not even bothering to turn his head toward him. With a flick of his hand, he caused Diodora's body to be consumed in a massive explosion of light that disintegrated the heir of the Astaroth family as he screamed in agony. "Current Devil King? Calling the true bloodline old was the fool's first mistake. His imagination was his second."

But that was when Rias realized it, which made her crimson power surround her voluptuous body. "Of course. You were the one behind the death of the Glasya-Labolas heir, weren't you?"

"Can you believe the sheer arrogance there?" Shalba asked arrogantly, still on about Diodora. "Claiming to be the Devil King?"

Rias had heard enough of the man. Enraged, she glared at Shalba as she walked towards him. Her power charged up as her aura furiously blazed around her figure. "It doesn't matter who you are, you will still suffer for what you did to Asia!"

Shalba held out his hand, and a purple magic rune circle appeared with two snakes on it. "Little sister of the imposter Sirzechs. Nothing personal, but I think I'll kill you."

But all of sudden, the standoff was interrupted by the sound of the sword falling out of Kenny's fingers and clattering on the floor, catching the attention of everyone in the room. They looked and saw Kenny stumbling towards the empty area that Asia once was before she disappeared. His eyes were wide open with a look of shock and horror.

"Asia? Asia…where are you?" He asked, reaching his hand out towards the spot. "You…you can't be gone…"

"He's lost it," Kiba said, rather sadly.

"Kenny…" Rias said, feeling her tears welling up in her eyes.

Reaching the spot Asia disappeared from, Kenny fell to his knees and placed his hands on the ground. He felt around, trying to see if there was something. Anything that would lead him back to Asia. But all he felt was the smooth surface of the floor. "No…you can't…I stopped Diodora…Please, Asia!" He yelled, slamming his fists on the ground as tears started rolling down his face. Cracking the ground with his strength.

"Kenny!" Rias rushed over and knelt down next to him. She wrapped her arms around his body, holding him tightly as she, too, started to cry. As the reality of what had happened set in, everyone soon began to feel the same grief that Kenny felt. The realization that they had just lost one of their own friends hit them all hard, and they started crying.

But the person that was hit the hardest besides Kenny was Xenovia. Heartbroken and full of rage, the blue-haired girl let out a cry of anguish and rushed toward Shalba, instantly filled with the need for revenge. "I swear I'll kill you for what you've done!" She screamed, summoning her swords as she opened her wings and flew towards the Devil. "I'll cut you down piece by piece until you scream for mercy!"

The blue-haired young woman tried to slash at Shalba, but she was easily blocked by the Devil's magic. Then she was blasted back by the evil man. Making her scream in agony as parts of her uniform were shredded, exposing her breasts.

"Xenovia, no!" Rias cried out as her knight bounced off the ground and landed on her stomach. Her two swords stabbed into the ground near her.

Shalba looked at her boredly. "Don't test me."

Gritting her teeth in fury, Xenovia crawled back to Durandal. "Bring Asia back now! Please, she's one of my best friends! She's so gentle…and so unbelievably kind…ASIA!" She cried in anguish.

"I couldn't save her. I failed her." Kenny sobbed, gritting his teeth as tears poured down his face.

"Oh Kenny." Rias placed her hands on Kenny's face and hugged him.

"Interesting. The princess of the Gremory Household has horrible taste," said Shalba as he stared down at the boy with an amused expression. This got Kenny to look up at him with a lost expression. "Would the little samurai like to know where that girl went? I sent her far beyond our reality, into the dimensional gap. The exposure had surely consumed her flesh by now. To put it simply, the bitch is dead."

At that moment, Kenny's mind was fogged by rage and anger when Shalba said that. No matter what happened to himself, he was going to kill this man. He wanted to make him pay for murdering Asia. Rage coursed through him as he stood up slowly.

Rias stood up with him, watching as the boy she loved slowly walked towards Shalba. Leaving his sword on the ground. "Kenny." She called out to him. However, she was shocked when the Boosted Gear appeared on his arm. That never happened unless it was unleashed with the Sword, which was still lying on the ground. What was going on?

Then the voice of the Red Dragon spoke through the glowing green gem.

[Rias Gremory.]

Gasping, Rias stared in shock and said, "What is it, Ddraig?"

[If you rather not die, then you should take the Sword and leave this place.]

"What?" She asked with wide eyes, looking at the Sword as it lay on the ground. What was going on? Kenny would hurt her? No, he wouldn't! But then again, he doesn't seem to be in control of his actions right now.

[As for you Devil, the one who calls himself Shalba. You made a poor decision, and now you must PAY!]

Kenny looked up at Shalba with glowing green eyes glaring at the Devil.

BLAST

All of a sudden, a massive influx of power and red aura suddenly exploded from Kenny's Boosted Gear and body. The power started to push Rias and everyone else back as if warning them to back off, while it knocked Shalba back and slammed him into the wall above the throne, before falling back to the ground.

As Kenny covered himself in his Scale Mail, the temple around him started to fall apart from his power. Akeno looked at the Sword and quickly rushed towards it while shielding her face with her arm.

She picked it up off the ground as Kiba exclaimed, "His aura and power are incredible!"

"And dangerous!" Koneko said as she wrapped her arms around Gasper to protect him.

"KENNY!" Rias screamed, calling out to her beloved as she ran forward. However, she was stopped by a pillar crashing down in front of her. It provided her with protection against the raging aura, but it blocked her way of getting to Kenny. Peering through the smoke, she tried to see what was going on with him. "Answer me right now! What's going on?! Kenny!"

On the floor, Shalba picked himself back up and stood on one knee. "Who are you?"

Kenny did not make a sound as he stood in his Scale Mail Armor. His body was covered by a dangerously red aura. But that wasn't all. However, from the gem on his chest came several strange green orbs of light that floated around Kenny as his power grew. They made moaning and whispering sounds were also heard.

"I, who shall awaken."

"It's starting. The time has finally come."

Hearing the whispers, Rias started to realize what was going on and stared in horror. "Kenny, no…"

But it was too late to stop what was happening. His Scale Mail armor was starting to change and morph, all while Kenny's voice became more animalistic. "I'm the Heavenly Dragon who stole the principle of Domination from God."

"It had always been this way."

"That is correct, always and forever."

"I mocked the infinite and fret over the dream."

"What the world always desires…

"What the world rejects…"

"I shall become the Red Dragon of Domination!"

"...Has always been power."

"Has always been love…"

"No matter the occasion, you always choose the path to ruin."

The transformation was complete, and Rias stared at her darling samurai as he took on a monstrous form. His body was larger, and his head resembled a dragon's head, with four large horns sticking out of the back of his head. His gauntlets were large with claws with massive claws. His shoulder plates now had large spikes sticking out of them.

On his chest, the breastplate around the green gem changed to a design of a Japanese lion's face holding the gem in its mouth. Hanging down from his hips were plated-look tassets that reached down to his knees. The feet became larger and bulkier. So much so that they crushed the floor around him. The thrusters from his back began to grow and expand, turning into dragon-like wings without the membrane, as the armored tail grew a triangular-shaped point. They spread out as all the green emeralds on his glow.

The dragon-looking samurai armor was gone. All that was left was a monstrous dragon armor that surrounded and encased Kenny's body. "I shall drown you in the depths of Crimson Purgatory!"

"Juggernaut Drive!"

The Red Dragon let out a mighty roar that destroyed the temple walls all around him in a flash of green light. Rias quickly summoned her magic to form a shield to protect herself and her peerage. When the dust settled, Rias looked at her beloved and gasped at the sight of him. The Red Dragon roared out in a mixture of fury and sorrow. In her heart, she could feel that Kenny was calling out to Asia.

"Oh, Kenny…"

The Red Dragon opened its mouth and let out a puff of pink smoke from its jaws. It turned its head and glared at Shalba, who had protected himself from the temple's destruction.

The Devil glared at the monster and aimed his hand at the dragon. A magic circle formed in his hand, and he was just about to fire a blast of energy at it when…

RIP!

Out of nowhere, the Red Dragon rushed at him, tackling him and ripping off his right arm from his body at the socket.

Shalba fell to the ground as Kenny landed a few feet away from him. He threw the arm in his mouth away before turning around. Glaring at the Devil, he roared again. Blood dripped from its teeth.

Standing up, Shalba gritted his teeth to hold back the pain of losing his arm. "Don't toy with me!" He cried and aimed his arm at the Red Dragon. Calling upon the power that Ophis gave him, he readied his next attack. "Face my light of judgment if you dare!"

The massive beam of light that he had used to destroy Diodora was used against the Red Dragon. But what happened next shocked Shalba.

[DIVIDE!]

The lights on the Red Dragon's armor turned blue as a white pulse came out of his wings. Then, a Shalba realized the kind of power Kenny was using. It was a power that he knew all too well, and it left him stunned and wide-eyed.

"He has Divine Dividing Power!?"

[DIVIDE!]

[DIVIDE!]

[DIVIDE!]

[DIVIDE!]

[DIVIDE!]

Within a second, Kenny canceled the attack. This shocked everyone that was watching. However, Kiba realized why Kenny was able to use it. "Kenny's using the power that he stole from Vali!" He said in shock. "Even in that form, he has it."

Furious, threw off his cape. "Why must Vali insist on standing in my way?! DIE!" He shouted before blasting the Red Dragon again with his magic.

The Red Dragon, however, was ready for him and roared as it fired a blast of energy from its jaws. Beating the Devil's attack and pushing it back all the way to his arm. Serving it from his body as well. Growling, the dragon gave off another burst of its power by flapping its wings. Its aura surged forward, causing a massive explosion of red energy to build up from its body.

"No, you bastard! This creature must be the Dragon of Domination!" Shalba exclaimed, shaking in fear as he stood with blood pouring out of his severed limbs.

With the Sword still being held by her, Akeno walked up to Rias. "Rias, we have to stop him!" She said, worried about her lover's well-being. If he continues to stay in this state, they may never get him back to normal.

"Right!" Rias turned to Gasper. "Gasper!"

"I'm on it!" Gasper quickly activated his powers. He stopped the dragon and froze time around it.

However, half a second later, the Red Dragon let off a bust of energy that broke it free of Gasper's power.

"It didn't even faze him!" The half-vampire said in shock.

The dragon roared once again as the gem inside the lion's mouth on his chest glowed brightly. Concentrating its power into the gem as energy began to swirl around it. The voice of Ddraig began to speak as it gathered power and Boost.

Giving Kiba the Sword, Akeno picked up Xenovia in her arms. As the Red Dragon started boosting, she knew they were all in danger. "Rias, we can't say here! If we do, we're all going to die!" Akeno exclaimed.

Frown, Kiba turned to Rias. "We have to go! I don't want to leave him, but we must!"

"No…I wouldn't." Rias said as she watched the Red Dragon preparing to attack.

"Rias!" Akeno cried out, but the redhead beauty just stared blankly at the scene. The harem mistress didn't want to leave the boy she loved too, but they had no other option. "Kiba, grab her!"

"Right. I'm sorry, Rias." Kiba said. Before Rias could react, her Knight quickly grabbed her. "We're going!"

"Kenny!" Rias cried as she was carried off by Kiba into the air, with the rest following him and Akeno.

[BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!]

[LONGINUS SMASHER!]

The monster let out a mighty roar before unleashing all the built-up energy from the gem in a blast at Shabla. Enveloping the Devil. The man could only scream as he was engulfed in the bright light. "Damn you, Red Dragon and White Dragon! DAMN YOU BOTH!" He screamed, taking his last breath as he and the energy from the Longinus Smasher vanished.

And this beam of energy was seen by everyone across the battlefield, even Karen, Irina, and Rossweisse. The three were finishing off the last of the beetle drones.

"Is that Kenny?" Irina asked with wide eyes.

"Come on!" Karen said, opening her wings and flying off.

"Wait!" Rossweisse said, before she and the angel flew off to catch up to her. However, the three girls had to dodge a shot of green power that came from Kenny.

Growling, the Red Dragon of Domination roared and released even more power than before. Shooting bursts of its energy in all directions all over the battlefield. Destroying the beetle drones and killing the rogue devils. Rias' peerage took cover behind her as she, Akeno, and Kiba used their power to make a protective shield to defend them. The Two Great Ladies of Kuoh used their magic, while Kiba created a barrier of holy-devil swords. However, even they weren't going to last too long.

It was unbelievable the kind of power Kenny displayed.

When Karen, Irina, and Rossweisse reached the others, they stared at the Red Dragon in shock. "What the hell is that thing?!" The Fallen Angel exclaimed.

"It's Kenny." Akeno said, surprising the girl and two young women. "Asia…Asia's gone, and he transformed into that!"

"Asia's gone?" Irina gasped, distraught by the news, as tears formed in her eyes.

"I wish there were something more we can do than just watch," Gasper said, staring in horror as his older brother-figure was rampaging out of control.

"Yeah, you and me both." Koneko said, watching one of her worst fears come true: Losing oneself to power. And it was happening to her crush.

Pushing past her pain, Xenovia sat up. "So, what can we do? Does anyone knows how we can make Kenny change back to normal?"

"I don't know," Rias admitted honestly. She couldn't believe that this was happening. She was watching her beloved losing himself to his own power. Kenny could be stuck like this forever, and there was nothing she could do. It pained her to know that.

"I had a feeling it was the Juggernaut Drive."

Gasping, Rias turned around to see an opening in the fabric of time and space. And stepping out of that portal was Vali.

"Why are you here?" She asked the silver-haired teen.

"Other than for a good beat down!" Karen glared at the traitor as she summoned her light-spears.

Stepping out from behind him were Bikou, who was smiling, and Authur, who wore a neutral expression. "Easy, Karen. I sensed a change in your brother's power and wanted to see what it was." He said, before looking down at the Red Dragon as he glowed red energy. "Is that him down there? Looks like an incomplete transformation."

Rias stood up and asked the White Dragon Emperor, "Vali, is there any way to change him back? Anything at all?"

"Kenny is in an incomplete state. There's a chance that it'll end naturally. But if not, he'll use up his life force until he dies." Vali explained, earning a gasp from Rias and Akeno.

"Either way, you should be worried. His life is most certainly in danger."

"And why would we trust anything you Aku goons say, huh?" Karen said, gritting her teeth. "Isn't that what you want? For Kenny to die and take the Sword?"

"Honey, we're not that bad," said another voice that made Koneko gasp. Stepping out from behind the three young men was Kuroka. The sexy nekomata was naked as the day she was born, with her kimono used to cover someone she was carrying in her arms. "If we were, would we have saved this kitten?" She asked in her seductive voice.

To the shock of everyone, it was Asia Argento, who was unconscious.

"Asia!" Everyone gasped.

Rias rushed over and took the young girl from the arms of Koneko's older sister as she handed her to the redhead. "Figured you'd like one of yours back," she said as Rias lowered Asia to the ground, and everyone crowded around her.

Looking at the Vali team, Rossweisse asked, "How did you find her?"

"We happened to cross paths with her as we were moving across the Dimensional Gap," said Authur. "She was just floating around there while sleeping."

"That is one lucky girl. She would have been exposed to the Void, if not for us. A human body can't withstand that kind of pressure and will usually dissipate into the nothingness." Bikou said while smiling at Asia's unconscious body.

"Please stop smiling at her. It's creepy," Kuroka said with a deadpan expression.

"Oh, you're one to talk about creepy."

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

As the two got into a fight, Rias checked on Asia. She was alright. Her little sister figure was here in the flesh. Rias was so happy and relieved. But Kenny didn't know that. He was still going on a rampage, thinking that Asia was dead.

Standing on her feet, Rias grabbed the Sword as it was stabbed into the ground and pulled it out. Turning to her beloved samurai, she opened her Devil wings.

"Rias?" Akeno looked at her best friend, pondering what she could be doing.

Gripping the Sword tightly in her hand while watching the Red Dragon's rampage, she said, "If we tell him that Asia's safe, Kenny should be able to regain control of himself."

"Merely approaching either of them will kill you," Vali said, providing the girl with a warning before smirking. "But I won't stop you."

"I'll go with you," Kiba said with a serious expression.

Standing on her shaking legs, Xenovia nodded. "Me too."

"Let's go!" Karen said.

"I'm going alone!" Rias flared her aura before taking off into the air, heading straight for her boyfriend.

"Rias, wait!" The others called after her. But Rias wasn't going to stop. She will not let Kenny die.

Vali watched the crimson-haired princess of the Gremory family fly off with a disinterested look. He had seen all he wanted to see and was going to leave when he felt someone tug on his jacket. He looked to see that it was Koneko.

"Vali, please. I beg you to do whatever you can to save Rias and Kenny." Kuroka's little sister pleaded with him.

Hearing that, a mischievous expression formed on the older sister. "Oh, and if he does, then will you come with us?" She asked, approaching her.

Karen quickly got in front of the white-haired girl. "No way!" She said, getting into a fighting stance. "She's not going anywhere with you!"

Akeno approached Vali. "Can you help with the power of the White Dragon Emperor?" the half-breed Fallen Angel asked. "Do you think you're strong enough?"

Was he strong enough? Was that really a question? Vali was powerful. Turning away from the girls and looking towards the Red Dragon, Vali was more than certain he could overpower Kenny. But he wouldn't kill him. Not yet. He was his rival, and strong rivals were hard to come by. Even though the Army of Darkness would have had the Red Dragon continue its rampage, Vali didn't care. He'll do as he wishes.

"Kuroka, get ready to hold him down," Vali said.

"Huh?" Kuroka and the other members of his team looked at him in surprise. "Wait, you're—" She was interrupted when Vali jumped into the air. He activated his Balance Breaker.

[Vanishing Dragon: Balance Breaker!]

With his armor on and his wings out, Vali flew off towards the Red Dragon.

[What are you planning to do, Vali?] asked Albion curiously.

"I'm just going to contain his power a bit," Vali said as the power from Kenny's body grew even stronger as the Red Dragon roared.

[You have to touch the opponent to use Divine Dividing. I don't recommend that right now.]

"Yeah, an eye for an eye. A dragon for a dragon. He said, before he called upon his own Juggernaut Drive.

I, who am about to awaken,

Am the Heavenly Dragon who has taken the principles of supremacy from God

I envy the "infinite" and I pursue the "dream"

I shall become the White Dragon of Supremacy

And I shall take you to the limits of white paradise.

[JUGGERNAUT DRIVE!]

Vali's body was consumed in a bright blue light as his armor took on a similar transformation that Kenny had when he turned into the Red Dragon of Domination. However, instead of becoming monstrous, the silver-haired teen retained his self-control and his armor turned into a large form of his original.

In his new form, Vali flew over Rias. The redhead gasped as the White Dragon passed her and headed for the Red Dragon.

Sensing Vali's power, the Red Dragon growled and slowly turned its head in the direction of the including threat. Letting out a mighty roar, it opened its mouth and fired a beam of red hot energy at Vali. However, the White Dragon blocked the attack with his arms, dividing the attack as he rocketed towards his rival. The Red Dragon let out another roar before it took off into the sky and flew straight for Vali at high speeds.

Both dragons flew towards one another until they rammed into one another, creating a shockwave that was fit by everyone on the battlefield. Vali grappled with Kenny as they blasted up into the air, dividing his opponent's power as they flew across the skies of the underworld.

The Red Dragon tried to blast Vali at point-blank range, but the White Dragon kept its head pointed away from him. "Kenny Kurosawa, tell me, are you not my rival and sworn enemy?"

However, the dragon only roared. Landing on the ground that used to hold the temple with the Sword in her hand, Rias watched as Kenny and Vali fought at high speeds. They were going so fast that they were both red and blue lines, respectively, zipping across the sky.

With no other option, Vali opened his mouth and chomped down on the Red Dragon's neck. The Red Dragon roared in agony as the White Dragon Emperor's teeth penetrated through the armor, making blood shoot out.

The two dragons were slammed into the ground, with Vali quickly getting off. Seeing her chance, Kuroka quickly used her magic. Her octangular black and purple magic circle appeared under the Red Dragon's body, and glowing purple changes shot up. Wrapping around Kenny's body and holding him down. Vali returned to his normal state in the air before reactivating his Balance Breaker.

Kenny roared as he struggled against the chains. The gem on his chest glowed and fired another blast of energy at Vali. The White Dragon Emperor quickly covered his face before the power washed over him. However, he was able to counteract this.

[Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!]

After dividing the attack until it was nothing, Vali watched as the Red Dragon finally stopped struggling. The aura around him disappeared, and he was finally down as the chains tightened around Kenny's back.

"Kenny!" Rias quickly rushed towards Kenny, who was still entrapped within his Juggernaut form.

Vali's armor vanished, with only his Sacred Gear still on his back. "I can just leave the rest to you."

The Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess ran to the front of the armored head of her beloved samurai. "Kenny! Come back to me, my love!" She begged.

However, the dragon suddenly moved, forcing her back. Rias looked at Kenny as the monster broke free of the chains. Getting to its feet, the Red Dragon roared out again. But rather than one out of rage and wrath, it was one out of sorrow.

When Kenny opened his eyes, he was in a dark, cold place. There was nothing. Nothing but blackness. It was just like when he used Kokoro no Kimochi on Akeno to see into her past, with himself being white and black. As he floated in this void, his mind was bombarded with memories of his past.

He still remembered the day he met Asia. When she tripped over, and he talked over to help her up. How she looked up at him with that warm smile Kenny fell in love with.

"Then please remember my name; Asia Argento. I hope to meet you again."

"Asia…"

"You see, my goal in life is to make as many friends as I can, and have lots of thrilling and fun adventures with them. You've done so little for me, but it's more than enough to let me know; you are a true friend. That's it!" She jumped off the bench and stood in front of Kenny. "I'm going to help you on your journey. I'm going to help you beat Aku!"

"Asia…"

"… Kenny… I know it wasn't a long time, but… I am happy to have met a friend like you…" Asia spoke with a small smile as she laid on the church bench, dying. All because he wasn't fast enough to save her.

"I'm so sorry…"

"Because she's dead! Stone cold dead, and you think you can protect her? You!?" Raynare laughed with her cruel, sneering, smirk coming back. She points a finger at Kenny. "You couldn't protect her then. Why should now be any different!?"

"No!" Kenny shook his head. "This isn't real!"

"Isn't it? You just watched her die the first time. Why would this be any different?" Raynare asked as she appeared before Kenny in the black void in her school uniform. However, her clothes faded away and turned into her S&M outfit. "And if you couldn't save her, then what were the chances that you could have saved the world? You failed, so will you please die for me?"

"NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kenny grabbed his head and howled in anger and pain at Raynare's words.

The Red Dragon roared even louder as the winds around it began to pick up. "Kenny, look at me!" Rias shouted, trying to get through to her beloved. "Don't you recognize me?!"

Watching from above with his hands placed in his pockets, Vali stood by, ready to step in and possibly kill his rival in case things get out of hand. "Strange. His energy signature is not purely dragon."

"Something else is inside of him." said a new voice. Vali didn't need to know who it was.

Floating next to him was a cute young girl with long black hair down to her hips and gray eyes. Her ears differ from a normal human's as they have pointed tips, although her long black hair made this feature difficult to notice. Her dark grey eyes have reptilian-slitted pupils. She was wearing an attire that consisted of a black Gothic Lolita fashion.

"Look who decided to show up. Hello Ophis."

Kenny roared again in agony. Rias could only watch as her heart broke seeing her love in this state. However, she was snapped out of her sorrow when a small communication circle appeared near her ear, and her brother's voice spoke through it.

"Rias, are you near Kenny?"

"Brother, what are you doing?" Rias gasped.

"I've talked to Odin. You're going to have to stab the Sword into Kenny's chest. That will break him out of his armor."

"What?!" Rias said, looking incredulous at the idea of hurting her beloved. "B-But I can't do that! I could hurt him!"

"I know, Rias. But we may not any other option. You have to stop him, and quickly."

Rias looked back at the Red Dragon as it continued roaring. She had to stop him by reaching out to him first.

Running in front of the Red Dragon, Rias spread her arms out wide. "Kenny, calm down! Please, listen to me! Listen to the sound of my voice! Kenny!" The redhead beauty begged and pleaded with her samurai.

She gasped when she saw a claw coming at her. Rias quickly moved the Sword to block the attack. The blade of the mystical weapon deflected the armor, but the force of the attack sent her flying back.

Landing on the ground, Rias saw the Red Dragon's elongated and jagged tail come thrashing down at her. She jumped out of the way to avoid being killed. However, she screamed when she was grabbed by the Red Dragon's strong clawed hand.

"Kenny, please!" She screamed. Rias had to reach him, she just had to. So many times she thought she lost him, and it killed her inside each time. She didn't know what she'd do if she lost him for real. If he died, then Rias wouldn't be able to live. She'd die with him.

The monster held her up to eye level, as if it didn't know what to do with her. However, the Red Dragon roared again, and Rias could swear she could hear Kenny screaming for Asia.

"Kenny! I love you!" She said to him. "I want you to be in my life, you give it meaning that I never knew existed! You better come back to me, or I swear I'll disappear right along with you!"

Looking down, Rias' eyes began to let out with tears. But she gasped when she saw that she was near the gem in Kenny's chest. The redhead knew she had to be stopped before Kenny hurt one of his friends and lovers. But the idea of hurting the man she loved was something Rias couldn't fathom. However, she was out of options.

"Please, come back…" With the Sword in her fear hand, Rias twirled it around to hold it in a reverse grip. She then raised it up and stabbed it down. "KENNY!"

STAB!

Rias stabbed the Sword into the gemstone, cracking it.

When Rias opened her eyes, she saw herself in the same mindscape that Kenny was in. But the Sword wasn't with her. She looked around the black void, trying to see where she was…

…until she saw him.

Kenny. Her sweet, loving, and brave samurai was all alone. Floating as his body was curled up and he sobbed. Her heart broke seeing him in such a state, and Rias quickly floated towards him.

"Kenny."

Kenny gasped as he heard that voice in the darkness. He knew and loved that voice. There was a bright light, and he turned around to face it. There she was. Rias was flying slowly towards him in all her naked glory with her arms spread out.

"Rias…it is you…" Kenny said as he embraced her into his arms. Rias held him close to her beautiful voluptuous body. The horrible, awful feeling that have been clouding his mind was being cast away in the warmth of his true love's light.

Rias' tears soon flowed from her eyes as joy filled her heart, relieved to see Kenny with a clear mind. "You're back. You came back to me…Oh, Kenny. My samurai's back!"

Kenny slowly tightened his hold on her, yet continued to be gentle with her. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Rias…I couldn't save her…" Kenny sobbed.

"Asia's safe." Kenny gasped and looked down at Rias as she looked up at him with a loving smile. "She's still alive, Kenny."

"She…" Kenny trailed off, unable to believe it. Rias hugged him again, burying her face into his chest as her breast pressed up against his abs.

"I thought I'd lost you…"

Kenny's smile slowly grew back as he hugged her back. Thankful that his beloved girlfriend had managed to bring him back from his rage and that Asia was safe. "Rias…thank you. You never gave up on me. I love you so much, and I owe you my life. I lost control because I thought Asia was dead. I just couldn't take it…"

Rias listened to her beloved samurai as his expression was down casted and melancholic. Wanting to hear every thought expressed by Kenny as she stayed by his side, listening in on his struggles. "You are not alone, Kenny. We all were devastated when we thought Asia was gone. But I've told you before, your struggle is our struggle. And we'll never leave you alone."

As Rias held her samurai, the red light from her body grew bigger, pushing back the darkness that surrounded them. Looking up, Kenny saw shadows stepping up and revealing themselves. They were his sister, his friends from the Occult Research Club, the Student Council, Sirzechs and Grayfia, Venalana and Zeoticus, Millicas, the Phoenix Maids, Irina, Rossweisse, and Jack. They were all looking at Kenny with smiles on their faces as if to say they were proud of him.

He was not alone, and he'll never be.

The darkness in Kenny's sight gave way to light as his eyes flicker as his vision returned. The armor that had trapped him inside his misery was gone, and Kenny was finally free. The first thing he saw was Rias. The lovely Devil hung her head over his as the two lovers gazed upon one another. But she wasn't alone. Surrounding Kenny were all the members of the Peerage, including Irina, Rossweisse, and Karen. All of them smiling at him.

"Kenny…you're awake." Rias said with tears in her eyes.

"Thank God," said Irina.

"Welcome back," Koneko and Gasper said at the same time.

"Good to see you again." Kiba smiled at him.

"Kenny." Xenovia and Rossweisse said together as they stared down at him with smiles.

"You scared us all," Karen said, relieved.

"How do you feel?" Akeno asked, stroking her lover's face.

Kenny sighed and smiled, loving the feeling of her hand. "I'm fine…I think." He said, slowly sitting up. But that was when he saw Asia being carried in Akeno's arms. "Asia!"

"Vali and his allies rescued her." Kiba explained to him. Turning around, Kenny was startled to see the members of Team Vali.

"It was a chance thing, that's all." Vali shrugged, before looking at Kuroka. "And Kuroka, so something about your dripping."

"I can't help it." The older nekomata, looking at Kenny with a horny expression. Luckily she had her clothes back on, with Asia's uniform being restored. "Kenny's power…I can feel it on my body. It drives me crazy."

"Have you all tried housebreaking her?" Karen deadpanned.

"We tried, but she's not easy—" Kuroka scratched Bukou in the face.

Kenny frowned at the followers of Aku, but blowed his head. "Thank you for saving Asia." He said, before turning back towards the little blonde girl. Smiling, the samurai reached out and brushed her hair away from her face. "Asia? Can you hear me?"

Slowly, the nun's eyes would open, and she stared up at Kenny in confusion. "Kenny? What happened?"

Kenny smiled and was about to explain when Xenovia suddenly rushed over and pushed him out of the way, and tackled the smaller girl in a hug. "Asia!" She cried, as Irina came over and hugged Asia from the other side. "I thought you were gone!"

"Oh, thank God! You're alive!" Irina cried as she and the blue-haired girl sobbed and babbled, much to Asia's confusion.

It was a happy and tearful reunion for not just the three girls of the church, but for the entire ORC. They had gotten back their beloved Bishop and their samurai. Once again, the darkest that had been set in place by the evils of Aku were defeated. On the ground, Sona and her peerage were successful in repelling the beetle drone invasion and the Army of Darkness forces.

"Kenny Kurosawa, take a look," Vali called him over. Getting to his feet, Kenny scowled and took the Sword from Rias when she handed it to him. With weapon in hand, he walked over to where Vali was standing. "This is what I wanted to show you," he said, not taking his eyes away from what he was looking at.

Kenny followed his gaze and his eyes widened when he saw what appeared to be a hole in the sky. Not like a parting of clouds, but rather a tear in reality itself. However, there was something coming out of it. Something massive. Kenny watched as his eyes widened as it soon came into view in the form of a ghostly image.

And what out came out was an impossibly massive red Western Dragon with a horn on its snout and on its back two sets of massive wings. Its overall length measures around 100 meters, bigger than even Midgardsormr.

"It can't be!" Rias exclaimed behind Kenny.

"Dragon of Dragons, he's often called DxD," Vali said, sounding respectful and envious at the same time. "The True Red Dragon God Emperor: Great Red."

"Great Red?" Kenny asked.

"He chooses to live in the Dimensional Gap and flies around for all of eternity in there. Ophis wants this as well. My goal is to defeat him." Vali said, stretching his hand out towards the dragon and grasping his fist. As if he was catching the image in his hand. This was the goal he's been dreaming of. "To become the True White Dragon Emperor. The White Dragon God Emperor. Someday, I will take down the Great Red."

"Great Red. It's been a while."

The peerage of Rias gasped at the appearance of a little girl sitting on a rook. "What the hell?!" Kenny exclaimed, shocked to see her. "Who's that?!"

"I didn't see her until just now!" Xenovia said with her widened eyes.

"Meet Ophis." Vali introduced the leader of the Army of Darkness while still watching the Great Red, shocking everyone around the little girl. "The Dragon God of Infinity, Ouroboros Dragon."

"Wait, what did you say?" Rias asked, looking in shock at the dragon sitting before her in the flesh.

"Holy crap!" Karen exclaimed.

"That's the bad dragon?" Gasper hid behind Karen, a little freaked out.

"So, that's the leader of the Army of Darkness," Koneko said.

Kenny quickly held his sword in both hands and got into a fighting stance. Ready to fight against the dragon. However, Ophis was uninterested in a fight with the young man everyone in her army was gunning for. She kept her eye on Great Red and pointed her finger up at it. "One day, one day soon, I'm going to obtain my silence."

"That's why she fights for Aku," Vali said, surprising Kenny. "She was promised by him that she can return there, and be left alone."

Kenny looked at Ophis. "So that's it, huh?"

"Tell me something, Kenny." Vali turned to his rival.

"What?" Kenny asked. "And you fight for him because it'll get you to Great Red?"

Vali turned to him. "Do you really want to defeat me?"

Kenny was slightly confused by the question. "I don't exactly want any of you to be my enemies, but I've got a feeling that I wouldn't have much of an option. My goal is to stop you and the Army of Darkness from awakening Aku. So when that day comes, I'll be ready for you."

Vali laughed and held out his fist to him. "Then let's make it a good fight, Kenny." He said. Kenny smirked, and fist-bumped him in return.

"We should probably head back. Come on, let's go home now." Rias said, smiling at Kenny.

After Vali and his team left, along with Ophis, everyone just stood around talking as the rest of the friends and allies began to show up. This includes the Phonex Maids, Sirzechs, Sona, her peerage, Ra, and Vishnu. However, there were other people that assisted in the battle. This includes Serafall, Tannin, Baraqiel, and Ajuka Beelzebub. Even Sairarog fought back against the horde. It was strange, they had Ophis and Vali's team right there, and they just let them go. However, it was for the best, as Vali did warn Kenny about Diodora.

Taking a moment, Kenny pulled Rias off to the side to talk to her. He sighed and looked down in shame. "Rias…I'm not too sure on what happened, but…I'm sorry. I'm sorry for losing control. Please forgive me."

Shaking her head with a smile, Rias came over and lifted his head up. She then kissed her beloved samurai. "I already did. You're the best thing that's happened to me, and I knew you would always come back."

Kenny smiled and held her. "Thanks, Rias—" All of a sudden, Kenny's eyes suddenly rolled backward as he collapsed in Rias's arms. This surprised her, and she was forced onto her knees as she catch him.

"Kenny!" Rias exclaimed, as everyone was shocked to see their friend on the ground. However, the redhead gasped when she saw his arm.

The Boosted Gear had formed again, and now it was much, much worse. Scales were forming on Kenny's arm, going all the way past his elbow.

"KENNY!"

Episode XXXIV

Juggernaut Drive

I think the biggest change was the way the Juggernaut Drives looks. It keeps the wings from the show, but the best way that I can describe the rest of the armor, minus the lion chest plate, is Chroma Prime from the videogame Warframe.
