The Dragon's Hellcat Ch.4
~TimeSkip: 1 Month~ -Issei had gained most of his peerage. He had also repaired the relationship between Koneko, and Kuroka, in exchange Kuroka agreed to serve him as his Queen. He had also somehow was able to recruit The Killer Kunoichi Ayane (Yes from Dead or Alive) as his 1st Knight, and a certain shark yokai who had white hair with blue highlights she wore a shark hoodie with a large tail fin coming out her back and no shoes this was none other than Gawr Gura in all her glory serving as his 2nd Bishop after Koneko bribed her with lots of snacks.
Issei's Peerage: King: Issei Queen: Kuroka Knight 1: Ayane Knight 2: TBD Rook 1: Koneko Rook 2: TBD Bishop 1: Ravel Bishop 2: Gura Pawn 1: TBD Pawn 2: TBD Pawn 3: TBD Pawn 4: TBD Pawn 5: TBD Pawn 6: TBD Pawn 7: TBD Pawn 8: TBD
Issei and Koneko also went through an appearance change
Issei wore a black short sleeved button down shirt with a purple tie, black jeans with a studded belt and black boots, he also wore black fingerless gloves , a black trenchcoat and black hat (think 80s Undertaker) he also wore a black necklace with a white cat shaped pendant, he had also dyed his hair the darkest shade of black
Koneko instead of the usual Kuoh Academy uniform wore a black one piece that stopped above her thighs with a white chain like belt cat shaped links around her waist (think Raven from Teen Titans), black thigh high socks with black and purple sneakers, over her one piece she wore a purple leather jacket that cut off at her midsection. She also wore a similar necklace to Issei however on hers the pendant was a red dragon. —-- ~Location: Grigori~
"Issei, I think it's time you go back.. Everything has fallen apart since you left" said Azazel
"What do you mean?" Asked Issei
~Music Start: HighSchool DxD Soundtrack - Fuan wo Dakikakae
And so Azazel informed Issei, Koneko, Kuroka and Ravel on everything that has taken place in Kuoh, and the underworld since Issei's departure which caused all four to gasp in unison.
"T-that's not our problem" Issei tried to say but he was cut off by Azazel
"I'm not saying you have to forgive them, that's your choice after all. But can you really go on living, knowing the people you came to love and swore to protect have become this broken? Can you really go on knowing that Rias tried committing suicide after losing you and Koneko due to her own selfishness? Not just Rias but the entire peerage is like this. Gasper being forced to be sealed away again. You don't have to forgive them if you choose not to but you should at least let them know that you and Koneko are okay and that you are alive and well, not just them but think about the children who believe their hero the Grabbin Dragon to be dead" said Azazel in an unusually serious tone
This prompted Issei to think. He had a choice to make. He'd talk to Koneko and Ravel on what they think they should do.
"Plus I can't wait to see their reactions when they learn that you guys are fallen angels now" Added Azazel with a smirk and slight chuckle in his usual carefree tone.
~Scene Change: Issei's Room at the Grigori~
"What do you guys think we should do? I kinda feel bad. I mean I didn't expect for all of this to happen" asked Issei to Koneko and Ravel.
"I-I think we should go back" said Ravel
"Me too, I mean I'm happy to be here with my Issei and everything but, I mean if it wasn't for Rias I probably wouldn't even be alive right now, and I most likely would have never met Issei would have just seen him as a pervert and our relationship probably would have never happened" said Koneko
"I mean Rias did give me a second chance at life, and I am thankful for the things she has done for me and everyone, I don't think I can ever love her in the same way I did in the past but I do still care for her deeply, same for the others. Asia, Xenovia, and Gasper weren't as harsh as the others and Rossweisse didn't do anything at all. And I made a promise to Asia and Xenovia that I'd take them with me when I get my own peerage so. " said Issei
"Then let's go back, remember I'm with you forever wherever you go I'll follow you till the end" said Koneko
"Me too" added Ravel
"Azazel said that our new home has already been built and is just waiting for us to move in so we'll go there first and once we are settled in, tomorrow we can stop by the Hyoudou residence" said Issei receiving a nod from Koneko and Ravel
And so Issei informed the rest of his peerage of the plan and after some questions from Ayane, Gura, and Kuroka they had agreed.
After arriving at their new home which was an exact replica of the Scarface mansion via magic circle
~Music Start: DOA6 Soundtrack - Have a Break~
Despite the mansion having 7 rooms Koneko decided she wanted to share the main bedroom with Issei which he agreed, meanwhile Ravel, Kuroka, Ayane, and Gura occupied their own respective rooms. After everyone was settled in they decided to finally relax.
Issei, Koneko, Gura, and Kuroka decided to enjoy their new pool.
Ravel decided to take the time to get to know Ayane better while also planning dinner, finding the fact that Ayane is a trained ninja assassin interesting, they decided to go to an aesthetic salon where Ayane filled her in on her backstory.
From the circumstances that lead her to being the outcast of her clan for most of her childhood, being taken in and raised by Genra, to the fall out between her and her sister Kasumi, to her training, her close bond with her brother Hayate, discovering Honoka and later learning that she's her half sister (basically all the events up to DOA6)
Ravel didn't know what to say, but Ayane's sorta cold personality started to make sense. "I'm sorry you went through all of that" said Ravel
"It's fine" Replied Ayane
Meanwhile at the pool in the new home
Issei, Koneko, and Gura are in the pool finding the fact that Gura is a shark but needs floaties to swim in her human form strange but humorous Issei decided to try teach her to swim without them, which Gura explains that she's able to swim she just can't float, after Issei and Koneko thought about it it made sense so they decided to drop the matter.
Meanwhile Kuroka can be seen laying on one of the lounge chairs under an umbrella napping.
Issei decided to ask Gura more about her early life and which she more than happily explained, about how she spent most of her life in Atlantis, her place a birth but how she found it boring and just decided to leave, to her getting a job at hololive as a youtuber and quickly rising to popularity playing video games on stream up to her meeting them. Koneko explains that she knew of her due to watching some of her streams and knew of the powers she had so she knew she'd be a good choice to recruit which Issei understood.
~The next day~ *knock knock knock*
Issei and his peerage were waiting for someone to answer the door, the one to answer the door was Irina
"Issei?! Koneko?! Ravel?!" Said Irina to say she was shocked would be an understatement this caused everyone to turn their heads toward the door doubtful until they heard his voice
"Yeah, can we come in?" Said Issei in an apologetic tone
"Please" said Irina
~Music Start: High School DxD Soundtrack - Yasashi-sa ni Furete~
Rias and the peerage couldn't believe their eyes. Issei and Koneko were alive and well and were back, accompanied by Kuroka, Ravel and two girls who they didn't know. Also their energies were different but couldn't quite put their fingers on it but they didn't care about that right now. They knew what they had to do.
"Issei!" They all shouted in unison not hesitating to run up and hug him which Issei surprisingly reciprocated as much as he hated to admit he did miss them quite a bit
"Issei we're really sorry, we really didn't know.. Please forgive us.." Said Rias
"Yeah we're truly sorry for the pain we've caused, we promise it'll never happen again" added Akeno
Everyone else in the peerage nodded in agreement
Issei after thinking for a moment: "Alright, I forgive all of you, we may have overreacted a bit, I do forgive you all, however I'm not sure things can't go back to how they were" replied Issei
"W-what do you mean?" Asked Rias
"Well for starters we're no longer devils" said Issei before handing her a bag, inside the bag contained 8 crimson pawn pieces, Koneko handed her a small box which contained a crimson rook piece.
Rias and the peerage's hearts dropped at this but they stayed silent allowing Issei to continue. What happened next shocked them even more. Issei, Koneko, Ravel, Kuroka, Ayane, and Gura all sprouted their Fallen Angel wings.
"I can see you're all confused so let me explain" said Issei
So Issei explained to them everything that had happened since Issei left the clubroom on that fateful day.
"I see, well while it is a shame you guys won't be my servants anymore, as long as you are happy that's all that matters to me" said Rias with a bitter smile and that's when she and the peerage noticed the necklaces around Issei and Koneko's necks which Akeno was the first to comment on
"Ara Ara it seems Koneko has beaten us all to Issei's heart ufufufu" said Akeno
"Yes It would seem so heh" said Rias with an even more bitter smile. Asia just pouted at this, the rest of the peerage wore bitter smiles as well.
"Issei is mine" said Koneko in her usual monotone voice but with a victory sign
"Well congratulations you two" said Irina
"Yes congratulations" said Asia with a bitter smile
"well Issei I hope there's still room in your heart for more" said Akeno in her usual flirty/teasing tone
"You do still want a Harem right?" Asked Rias with a worried expression, the same worried expression on everyone else's faces
"Yes, I do one dream I still have is to become harem king that is if Koneko is okay with that" said Issei looking down at his girlfriend who gave him a hesitant nod as the question on whether or not her Issei still wanted a harem never came to her mind until now, she knew ever since they recruited her sister Kuroka that her time with Issei to herself was running out which she was okay with she knew Issei's dream and wanted him to be happy, the reason she hesitated the nod is due to the fear of being left behind again, that was until Issei patted her on the head reassuring her as if reading her thoughts.
"Also I heard about what Michael did maybe I can talk to him to see if he can allow Xenovia and Asia to pray again, as well as maybe allow Irina to serve as his Angel" said Issei
"No, it's okay" said Asia
"We sorta deserved it this time and even if we were able to pray again I'm not sure he'd answer us" added Xenovia
"And given how unfair I my punishment was I'm not sure I want to serve someone like that" said Irina
"Oh, well if that's the case.. Irina, how would you like to join my peerage?" Said Issei prompting everyone to look at him in shock
"Now wait a second, Issei" said Rias with a smirk. "Who says you get Irina? I know she's your childhood friend and all but how's that fair?"
"Firstly, I'm giving her the choice and not an ultimatum like you did all the others second, I asked her first, and third she's already a fallen angel so the transition would be alot smoother, finally the decision is up to her" said Issei looking at Rias who had a defeated look.
"Yes," said Irina. "I will serve you" Irina looked at Rias who gained a hopeful smile, "Issei" that hopeful expression on Rias's face was wiped quickly.
"Very well" said Issei
And so the ritual was done and now Irina is serving as Issei's 2nd Rook
"So Issei mind introducing us to your new friends?" Asked Akeno
"Oh right my apologies, this here is Ayane she is a trained Ninja Assassin and is serving as my Knight" Said Issei gesturing towards the lavender haired ninja who stepped forward and bowed, "and this is Gawr Gura a shark yokai from Atlantis serving as my 2nd Bishop"
"A" said Gura with a smile
"And you've met Kuroka" said Issei gesturing to Koneko's older sister
"Interesting" said Rias with a smile "well congratulations"
"Thanks Rias" Said Issei
Hearing Issei say her name finally made Rias squeal and jump for joy on the inside but she could only wonder if this is only because Issei finally acknowledged her feelings or if it's simply because Issei's no longer serving under her only time would tell.
Author's Notes:
Sorry for the wait I ended up getting really sick and you know how that goes
Anyway so yeah surprise bet you didn't expect for Ayane or Gura to be joining the DxD verse let alone be the ones to join Issei's peerage
As for Irina that was just an idea I had came up with on the spot hope you guys liked that
I guess I should explain some things.
So in this story
Gura's Sacred Gear is her Trident which she uses to unleash water/ocean based attacks and since she's a fallen angel now she can use holy energy so theoretically if she wanted to she could literally summon a tsunami of holy water. She can also use her Trident to heal herself and others this is to compensate for not having Asia join Issei's peerage
As for Ayane her powers pretty much remain the same as in the Dead or Alive, and Ninja Gaiden games.
Also I may or may not have Xenovia trade over to Issei's peerage I haven't decided yet. Given that Issei already has Koneko I don't wanna take too much away from Rias and given how OP Ayane is I may just keep her as Issei's only Knight. I'm open to suggestions of what you guys think I should do.
In the next chapter we'll see Issei, and Koneko's inevitable return to Kuoh Academy
Issei's Peerage: King: Issei Queen: Kuroka Knight 1: Ayane Knight 2: TBD Rook 1: Koneko Rook 2: Irina Bishop 1: Ravel Bishop 2: Gura Pawns: TBD
