Recap:
"If you don't survive, who's going to tell them?" Asked Micheal
"Well, you of course."
Micheal didn't know what to say, that fact that he has to break the news the everyone else that a loved one is dead is the hardest thing someone can do.
But, Michel just nodded.
"Right then. Bye"
Issei is seen walking out of his room, as he is heading for the front door, he just thinks to himself.
Wow, this may be the very last time I see this place. But maybe, when I die, they'll have a little bit of regret.
Issei is walking throught the streets of Kouh. At first he thought the training grounds of the Hyoudou Mansion would be a large enough space to start the circle. But that was too close to the mansion. Plus there wasn't enought space. So he resorted to looking through the forest of Kouh.
As he is heading out to the forest, he takes one last look at Kouh.
"Well, goodbye. Kouh" He said to himself.
Timeskip: 2 hours later.
"Oh.. my.. God... WHY CANT I FIND A GOOD SPOT?! ANY SPACE IS FINE! Issei roared.
As he is looking at his surroundings, he spots an abnormally large grassfield filled with flowers, with a crystal clear lake next to it. It calmed him down, and released his tension. For once in a long time, he felt.. at peace.
"This place.. it's so peaceful. If only I found this place sooner."
(Issei, this is a good place to start the ritual. Stay here.) Said Ddraig.
"But Ddraig, how long will this take, I atleast need an estimated time."
"Well considering you have 8 pawn pieces, And the fact that I've never done this in my life, about 2 hours. What I am doing is since I am directly connected to your soul, and so is the pawn pieces, I will reconnect myself to your aura instead. And I will send the pawn pieces out of your body. But by doing this, I will go to sleep for quite a while. I'd about 3 - 4 weeks. Give or take. In this process you will also become part dragon. So 50% Devil and 50% Dragon. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS. IF YOU LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS, YOU WILL DIE, BOTH ME, AND YOU. I do not know any other side effects of this process. Just tell me when you are ready Issei. And I will begin."
"That was a lot to take in. But, I AM READY. Issei roared with hope in his voice.
"NOW THATS WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR. Roared the Dragon.
Suddenly, Issei body began to tremble. It began to go numb, he bones began to crack, his eyes, his mouth, were full of blood. His bones began to dislocate. But the sheer urge to stay alive, to see another day was incredible. While this was happening. Everyone sensed it.
Scene change: Heaven.
Micheal was in heaven. He had a worried expression on his face. He sensed an strange power coming from the human world.
So, Issei started it. Oh I pray, Issei, that you will make it out alive and well. Micheal thought.
As Micheal was lost in thought, The younger sister of Micheal, Gabriel, was looking at Micheal with a confused expression. She seemed like she was in her late twenties. She had long, cream colored hair, reaching down to her waist. With ocean blue eyes. It's no wonder she was called to most beutiful girl in heaven.
"Hm? Micheal? what's wrong? You seem.. worried." Gabriel said.
"Sigh~ Well it's about Issei.
Micheal began to explain what happened to Issei. From start to finsh.
Gabriel was in tears, the fact that the one she loved went out of her way to cheat on Issei. It was terrible. And now he might die?!
"Listen, Gabriel. I need to ask you for a favour about Issei. "
Gabriel, still wiping her tears, responded.
"Y-yes?"
"I want you to help Issei through his trauma. If he survives, he will be in the greatest despair I have ever seen. I will also ask you. If he also survives, You have to promise me that you will tell absoulutely nobody about this."
Gabriel just stared at Micheal. But gladly accepted. She couldn't bear to see a person with such a kind a pure heart suffering so much. especially since he never deserved it.
Scene change: The underworld.
Sirczechs was seen in his desk, he seems exhausted, and stressed out.
"Ughhhh.. Just end me. There's just so much paperwork to do. I'm so beat.. Especially since the 7 Star Magical Art Tournament is really taking a toll on me, just let this week come to an end."
A/N: The 7 Star Magical Art Tournament is a torunament held in the underworld. All races are allowed, Angels, Fallen Angels, Devils, Dragons. And even Youkai. It's held every ten years the The 3 Devil pillars. Phenex, Sitri, and Gremory. It's a contest for the Devils mainly to prove themselves to the higher ups for a promotion.
"Well it's fine, As soon as we finish the rest of this paperwork, We won't have to deal with something like this for a long time." Said Grayfia.
"I certainly hope you are right." Said Sirczechs.
Suddenly, Both Grayfia and Sirczechs feel and odd amount of magical power emitating from the human realm. It had traces of the Welsh Dragon in it. so they guess it was Issei. Did something go wrong?
"Hey, Grayfia, do you sense that?" Asked Grayfia.
"Yes, I do. What's going on with Issei? I better go check on him."
"I don't think at is necessary. His sacred gear feels like it going through a change. After all, It isn't that much magical power." Said Grayfia.
"I suppose you may be right." Said Sirczechs.
Timeskip: 3 Hours later. Location: Unkown.
A beach. That is all we can see.
A black haired boy is seen laying down on the sand. He wakes up.
His eyes have a glowing vibrant crimson red to them.
"I survived? I survived! I cant believe it.."
The boy was looking at his surroundings, he saw a neverending ocean and the sky was.. the galaxy?
(Haha! partner! You did it!)
(You? no, we did it. Ddraig.)
Ddraig was smiling.
But partner, as I said, I will be asleep for quite a while. But I promise, I will wake up. Just wait for me. Also, your hair and eye color changed. your hair is a dark black color. Your height grew a bit, your about 5'10. While your eyes have a Glowing, vibrant crimson red. Heck, I wonder who that came from. Ddraig said as he smirked.
"You of course. Haha!" Issei laughed
"Well Issei, I'm glad to know that you're able to see another day again. So when the time comes, I will awaken. Bye now!"
"Wait! I still have questions!"
Everything went blank.
Issei woke up in the same place whre he began the process. He still couldn't believe it. He survived something that was considered impossible. Issei got up from his spot. The first thing he did was call Micheal. He immedietly answered.
"Issei! You survived?!"
"Yes Micheal. Come see me."
"Alright, I'm on my way"
About 5 minutes later, a holy magic circle appeared next to Issei. Out came a 12 winged angel.
"Issei, I can't believe it. You actually did it.. though, I'm not too surprised, after all, you are known for making the impossible possible." Said Micheal.
"And your appearance, it changed as well."
Issei had dark black hair with glowing vibrant crimson red eyes. It was definitely beautiful. And he looked taller. About 6'2.
"Yeah, that was what I was really surprised about. I changed so much in one day." Said Issei.
"Hm? Wait.. were are the evil pieces? Didn't you say they were expelled in the process?" Asked Micheal.
"Oh shoot! You're right. Where are they?!"
Both Issei and Micheal began to look at their surroundings. Issei didn't see much. But Micheal saw to glowing red objects a couple meters away from him.
Huh? What is that? Micheal thought.
Micheal slowly walked to the source of the light. He saw 2 crimson red pawn pieces on the ground.
"If they were this far from Issei, then they probably shot out of him."
As Micheal is staring at the pieces. He hears a voice.
"Hey! Micheal! I found a pawn piece." Said Issei.
"Really? Then that makes three, I found 2 of them." Said Micheal
"Alright then. Let's split up. We'll find the rest soon." Said Micheal.
10 minutes later..
Issei and Micheal found all the pieces. They were either stuck in tree trunks, or on the ground.
"Alright. It looks like we found them all."Said Issei.
Micheal handed the rest of the pieces he found to Issei. He put all of them in his pocket.
"Hey Issei, I have a question.." The angel said.
"Go on." Said Issei.
"Well, do you plan on returning home?" Asked Micheal.
Issei shuttered at this question. He started tearing up. He didn't want to be reminded about why he ended up in this situation. He still was hurting. He was at the depths of despair because he found his lover cheating on him. Not to mention the fact that everyone else in the ORC got boyfriends.
Micheal noticed this. And apologized.
"Oh.. I'm sorry for asking I forgot.." Said Micheal.
"Oh, no worries. your fine. But listen, I'm really quickly going to go back home. I have to put the evil pieces in the wooden box." Said Issei.
"Also, I don't plan on going back home. I was originally planning on asking you if you knew a place where I could stay.." Said Issei.
Micheal was a little surprised at his answer, but responded nonetheless.
"While I don't have a place for you to stay in the human world. You could come live in heaven with me." Said Micheal.
Issei began to cry again. It was the sheer fact that even 1 person helped him with his troubles and look how far he got. He did mission impossible.
"Micheal, thank you. I'm so glad you helped me. I probably wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you." Said Issei.
"I'm glad I could help. Issei, you are a person with a genuine and kind heart. Don't ever change Issei." Micheal said.
"I promise, I won't." Said Issei.
"Now the Issei, didn't you say you had to go back to the Hyoudou Mansion?" Asked Micheal.
"Yes, I won't be there for long. In fact, I'm going to sneak in there I'll make sure nobody sees me. Its 5:30 AM. I doubt anyone is awake right now. So if I don't go now, I won't have a chance like this again." Said Issei.
"Sounds good. I'll come with you." Said Micheal.
"Alright then. Let's go." Said Issei.
Micheal created a magic circle, and in seconds they were in the room of Issei Hyoudou.
Both Micheal and Issei look around the room.
"Good. It look's like the box hasn't been tampered with." Said Issei.
"That would also mean that they haven't found out about your pieces." Said Micheal.
"Sigh~ let's just get this over with."
Issei walked up to the wooden box on his drawer. He opened the box and dug into his pocket. He grabbed all 8 pieces from his pocket and dropped them all in the box. Along with the recording device which was there prior to the transformation.
"Well, lets go." Said Issei.
"Right." Said Micheal.
