Recap:

Rias and Itsuki took a loot at Sirczechs. The way Sirczechs stared at her just made her know that...

No.. no... He knows! there's no doubt! Rias thought.

Itsuki just had a confused expression. Why was his girlfriend's brother here? What could he want?

"Rias. I'm just going to get straight to the point... WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME?!


"I-I I'm sorry, I was just so scared... about what would happen if I told you." Rias said.

Sirczechs couldn't believe it. Her own sister actually lied to her.

"I can't believe it. You and the rest of your peerage went out of your way, and cheated on Issei?! And now, he's missing, HOW COULD YOU?! That's just so cruel... He was in love with you. And you loved him! What happened to that?!" Sirczechs yelled.

Rias could just stare at Sirczechs in guilt.

"Listen, Rias, what you did is unforgivable. I don't know how long I can just keep this away from our parents. The most I can do is until we visit them again. I want to get Issei back. I know you still love him. But at this point, I doubt he loves you back. You abandoned him.

Then again, I'm not any better. I still could've helped. But didn't. Sirczechs thought.

Rias couldn't believe it. She didn't want to live in a world where Issei didn't love her. It was the only way she would be happy with herself.

"I'm sorry. It's just, Issei and I were getting nowhere, our conversation would only be about business after me and Akeno left for college. Issei and I became more distant. So I thought that if I got experience with a boy... I would become a better girlfriend to Issei. And well, you know the rest of the story.


Scene Change: Unkown location in Armenia. + Timeskip: 3 months.


Issei was recommended training by a superior Gabriel knew. He decided to take her up on the offer. His name was Bahamut, The annihilation Dragon god. Said to have died due to old age, He managed to stop time on his body using his true power. Infinity, No matter how hard it may be to sustain a spell, (In this case the spell was stopping time on his body.) it may stay stable as long as the host is alive. This host was Bahamut.

Bahamut has white long hair and blood-red eyes. Said to be even more powerful than The Great Red himself.

Issei had made Especially impressive progress controlling his power due to him being a part dragon. During his training, a mark had started to form on the left side of his forehead. It looked like a red symbol of fire. This mark would constantly be there. No matter how hard he tried to remove it, it would always remain, so he just gave up. The mark seemed to be his power to control the flames Ddraig used when he still had a body. It was a deep crimson-red color, with a slight tinge of black in it.

Issei and Gabriel still made some progress during his love life, he found himself able to trust women somewhat. But only to an extent. He only trusted Gabriel, and nobody else.

But... Ddraig was soon going to awaken again. he didn't know how to prepare. But he was happy nonetheless. It wasn't that long since he saw his friend, but he still missed him from time to time.

Issei and Bahamut were seen Training in a large and open field between 2 large mountains. But their training came to a quick break.

"So... Issei, it seems as if Ddraig will soon awaken. I've spoken to him before, But I never thought I'd see him again." Bahamut spoke.

"Yeah, he said it would take 3 - 4 weeks at least. But... three months? I have no idea what it'll feel like when he awakens. But if it's pain, I'll endure it for him." Issei said.

Bahamut was surprised at this. While he had met sacred gear users with a soul in it, he never met a host with a sacred gear that saw it as a friend. He thought that this may be why he attracted so many women, or that may just be his draconic aura.

"Haha, Issei... You are really interesting, you know that?" Bahamut said.

Issei groaned at the dragon's comment.

"Interesting as in a good way?" Issei asked nervously.

"Of course, just take a look at yourself. It's only been 3 months in Armenia. You've gained an immense amount of power over that time, I'd say you're in Mid-tier God class. You finally gained some type of trust in women. But that took way too long." Bahamut said.

"Of course! You know how much that hurt me!" Issei yelled.

"Yeah yeah, I understand," Bahamut said in a sarcastic tone.

Issei grew tick marks at this, while Bahamut just smirked. But the tension eventually settled down.

"Oh! You two seem to be having fun." A female voice spoke.

The two dragons turned their head in the direction the voice was heard from.

It was Gabriel.

"Oh, hey Gabriel." Issei greeted.

"Hello, there Issei!" Gabriel greeted back.

Gabriel ran up to Issei, hugging him, Nonetheless, he reciprocated the hug.

"HAHA! Issei, are you finally getting along with women?! I never thought that was possible!" Bahamut said while dying of laughter.

Gabriel raised an eyebrow at this. But Issei grew even more tickmarks at this.

"Sigh~ Shut up Bahamut," Issei said.

"Fine, but it's a pretty big surprise, I never thought you'd look at women the same after what happened to you. After all, you were betrayed twice." Bahamut said.

Issei would normally get sad at hearing those people. But he just had a stern face. He hated the Gremory Girl and her peerage. He wanted to kill them so badly. But doing so could cause an entire war. So he tossed away that hatred, all thanks to Gabriel. She was the one who helped him past the trauma of his betrayal. He had really changed over the months. He was a new person. A better person. He swore to himself he would never let anyone toy with his heart for the third time.

"Well, of course, I had some help," Issei said as she glanced at Gabriel. She gave a warm smile back to Issei.

But the more time Issei spent with Gabriel, The more at ease Issei felt. Gabriel always had a calming aura around her. It would always relieve Issei's tension. He more or less realized he had feelings for Gabriel. But he bottled up his emotions in fear as to his fear of being betrayed again.

But that's when Issei remembered something.

"Oh, that's right, I need to go to the familiar forest." Issei said.

The Angel and the Dragon raised an eyebrow at Issei's words.

"Huh? the familiar forest? But why?" Gabriel asked.

"Well, I am still part Devil, I think it's time I get a familiar." Issei replied.

"Huh.. you do have a point. But I don't wanna come, I've been to the familiar first a couple of times before, and I find it a little scary." Gabriel spoke.

Issei had a confused look on his face as to why Gabriel was scared of the familiar forest. But didn't care enough to question any further.

"Oh alright then, you don't have to come with me, I don't mind going by myself," Issei said.

Gabriel sighed in relief as she heard the hybrids' words.

Issei created a blood-red magic circle leading to the familiar forest. The circle was also surrounded by crimson-red flames. He suddenly disappeared.

Gabriel decided to head back to the hotel. Bahamut decided to go to sleep.


Scene change: Random ass location in the Familiar Forest.


A blood-red circle surrounded by crimson-red flames appeared in a forest. Even though it wasn't a full moon, he didn't need help looking for a Familiar.

But Issei sensed a high-class devil-like amount of power a couple of miles away from him. He didn't care. But he was sure the source of the power sensed him. And it was coming closer.

Issei was walking around the forest when he sensed a king-like amount of power terminating from a cave. He decided to investigate the source of the power. As he was walking in the cave, the power got greater and greater.

Then he saw it. A glowing blue eye appeared out of nowhere. And then he heard a loud roar.

No.. this can't be a familiar. This could be who I think it is though. Issei thought.

The roar soon stopped. And a female voice spoke.

"Who are you?" The voice asked.

"My name is Issei Hyoudou. Yours?" Issei asked.

"Heh.. do you have a death wish? MY NAME IS TIAMAT, THE STRONGEST OF THE 5 DRAGON KINGS!" The now-known Tiamat roared.

Oh.. so I was right... It was her. Issei thought.

"Oh, hello there, Tiamat. It is nice to meet you." Issei spoke.

"Don't take to me so formally," Tiamat growled.

"Hey, just trying to be nice.." Issei spoke.

"Anyways, what do you want? I'm surprised you aren't scared of me." Tiamat said.

"Well, I am a Devil-Dragon hybrid. Of course, I'm not scared of you." Issei said as he smirked.

"Wait... Issei Hyoudou? Aren't you the Red Dragon Emperor?" Tiamat asked.

"Yes, I am, but Ddraig is dormant right now, I know you don't like him," Issei said as he sweatdropped.

"Shit... well I had a bone to pick with him. I guess I don't mind waiting." Tiamat spoke.

As Tiamat said this, Issei had an Idea.

"Oh? you wanna wait? You can become my familiar." Issei spoke.

Tiamat's eyes widened at this.

"Your familiar? I've never been somebody's familiar. But I guess I can give it a try." Tiamat spoke.

Issei's eyes widened at the dragon's words. He never thought she would agree that quickly, at least not without a fight. But he was happy he didn't have to do that.

Tiamat began to transform into her human form. She had long, light blue hair and shiny violet eyes. Each eye had an "X" symbol in it. Even Issei had to admit she was beautiful. He didn't even realize he was blushing.

Tiamat saw him blushing as he was looking at her.

"Ah.. Hehe. Like what you see?" Tiamat teased.

"Yeah, you could say that." Issei said as he was flustered.

"But even better, you can start traveling with me, I already have two other people with me." Issei said.

"Travel with you? It sounds fun. You can count me in. After all, I am your familiar." Tiamat spoke.

"Alright then, it's settled. Welcome aboard, Tiamat."

They both smirked at each other
