Recap:

"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

Tiamat and Issei were seen walking out of the cave when the same high-class devil power from earlier showed up. Issei didn't mind at all who it was. He was kind of curious to find out who it was.

He saw a white armor suit with blue glowing wings. It couldn't be.

"Dammit, what's he doing here?" Issei said to himself.

"Wait, who are yo-

Before Tiamat finish her sentence, Issei pulled her behind a tall tree. Hiding from the main part of the forest.

"Issei, what's going on?" Tiamat whispered.

"Listen, that was the Vanishing Dragon. I suppressed my aura so he won't know I'm here, If he finds me, I'm screwed." Issei whispered.

Tiamat stared at Issei in confusion, why would he be hiding from The White One?

"Ok, but why are you hiding from him?" Tiamat asked.

Issei let out a small sigh as he knew there was a lot to explain.

"Well, Because I kinda considered a stray in the underworld, you see. I was in a peerage, but I expelled my pieces for reasons I will say later. Issei explained.

Tiamat was a little shocked, he never thought somebody this nice would be categorized as a stray. She was about to ask why, but she remembered Issei told her, "I'll explain later." So she didn't question it.

"Fine, I'm not asking questions until we got out of here. That is, assuming we do get out of here." Tiamat said.

Issei took a look at his surroundings. Vali was gone. Issei assumed that he left due to the aura being suppressed.

"Well, it looks like he's gone. We're safe." Issei said.

They both stood up. But Tiamat had some questions.

"Ok, Issei, I have some questions." Tiamat said.

"Sigh~ Ask away then." Issei said.

"Just what exactly happened to you? Although I've never met you, I've heard what type of person you are. I don't think this is how he would act." Tiamat said.

"Well, I'm just going to tell you the truth. I was betrayed by my mates. I nearly died in the process. I miraculously survived. And somebody saved me."

Issei again thought of Gabriel. He really did have feelings for her now. But he didn't want to confess out of fear for what the outcome would be.

"Really? Who saved you?" Tiamat asked.

"One of the four great Seraphs, Gabriel." Issei spoke.

"Woah, so an Angel saved a half-Devil? That's pretty surprising. Given their relationship." Tiamat said.

"Well, Michael wanted her to spend time with me, and I did. Sigh~ It's all thanks to her that I changed in the first place. She's the reason why I'm doing better right now." Issei said.

Tiamat chuckled at this.

"Huh? What so funny?" Issei asked.

"Ah, it's nothing. Are you going to head back to the human world?" Tiamat asked.

"Yeah, I'm heading out now. You coming with?" Issei asked.

"Of course, I'm coming, I am traveling with you now, aren't I?" Tiamat said.

"Sigh~ I suppose so." Issei said.

Tiamat smiled at this. A blood-red Magic circle with a Welsh Dragon symbol in the middle appeared under the 2.

The circle was also surrounded by Crimson-red flames.

Scene change: Issei's Hotel.

Gabriel was sitting on the bed reading a book. The book was called: "How to make someone fall for you."

As she was reading, a blood-red magic circle appeared in the middle of the hotel. She knew it was Issei. She hid the book under her pillow in a panic.

A boy with dark black hair and blood-red eyes appeared in the circle. Along with another person.

Gabriel got up from the bed, she immediately realized that girl standing next to Issei was a dragon.

"Hey, Issei.. is that your familiar?" Gabriel asked.

"Yes actually! It's Tiamat, the strongest Dragon King." Issei replied.

Gabriel's eyes widened at the Dragon's name.

"T-Tiamat?!" Gabriel replied in shock.

Gabriel lost her balance and fell due to shock. But she was caught in time by Issei.

"Pant- Thank you Issei.." Gabriel said.

Issei blushed and was happy to know he could help her. But Gabriel was also blushing.

But Tiamat was watching with a smirk on her face..

"Oh~ So you're Gabriel, right? It looks like you've taken a liking to Issei." Tiamat said.

Gabriel's blush grew even more.

Well, I-I Uhm Uh-

"Ha! I'm just messing with you." Tiamat laughed.

"Wow, Issei. Only in Ohio you can convince a Dragon King to become your familiar." Gabriel complimented.

"Well, it doesn't matter. Say hello to our new travel member!" Issei said.

Everyone in the room smiled. They knew that the rest of the trip would have a lot planned for them.

"But for now, I'm just going to sleep on your bed." Tiamat said.

Tiamat jumped onto Issei and Gabriel's bed. They both sweat dropped at what just happened.

"Damn, she made herself at home quick.." Issei said.

"Agreed." Gabriel said.

Issei thought of something.. it was a little drastic in his eyes, but he wanted to do it nonetheless.

"Hey, Gabriel, want to go out for dinner? You and me." Issei asked.

Gabriel's eyes widened. She had a huge smile on her face. She knew this was her chance.

"Wait.. really?" Gabriel asked.

"Of course, I don't have much time for the rest of the day, so I'm basically free."

"Alright, but I'm one condition.." Gabriel said as she smirked.

Oh god, this can't be good.. Issei thought.

"There's a special place I want to take you after this. I'll take you there after we eat, ok?" Gabriel said.

Gabriel had a serious face, but a slight blush as well.

"Sigh~ fine." Issei said.

"Yay! Thank you Issei." Gabriel said

"Hey, 7:30 PM. Don't be late or I'll leave with you." Issei said as he smirked.

"Alright then, it's a deal." Gabriel said.

Gabriel slowly started to walk to the bathroom to get ready, it was about 5:00 PM.

"Woah, you two are getting along pretty well if you ask me." Tiamat said.

"Oh? You were listening?" Issei asked.

"Of course dumbass. But be honest, do you actually like Gabriel? You know, not for her body. But as an actual person I mean." Tiamat asked.

"Sigh~ I actually do. But I'm just so scared.. what if she rejects me? If that happens again... I-I I don't know what I'll do." Issei said.

Tiamat saw how scared Issei was about this. So, she tried to help all that she could.

"Issei, I'm not forcing this on you. But it may be time to confess. Regardless of your fear. If she rejects you, I'll take you out for a drink or two. On me." Tiamat said.

"Sigh~ I don't know, I'll consider it," Issei said

Well, it's better than a "no" I guess. But it can't be helped.

Scene Change + Timeskip: 1 Hour. Training field.

Issei was wondering how the Dragon in front of him had gotten so strong. He was a maniac. Of course, it was Bahamut. Issei wasn't nearly as powerful as Bahamut.

"Fuck me! I can't even get a scratch on him!" Issei said.

"Haha! It just means you won't ever be as strong as me!" Bahamut yelled.

Bahamut's comment somehow managed to tick Issei off. So he tried even harder.

"Dammit, If only I could just find an opening.." Issei said.

Bahamut charged up a sphere of Annihilation. Issei knew if he didn't at least dodge, He would get severely injured, But he wasn't in the best condition.

Shit! I want to dodge. But I'd be a pussy if I did that. I'd rather counter it. Issei thought.

Oh god, what am I going to do?! Issei thought.

"Here comes the big boy!" Bahamut yelled.

"Come on! SACRED GEAR, AWAKEN!"

WELSH DRAGON, ULTIMATE BALANCE BEAKER!

Suddenly, The entire training field was covered in Crimson-Red flames.

He did it! Bahamut thought.

Issei was seen covered in a Crimson-Red dragon's armor. The gems had a Pinkish glow to them. The armor had 14 glowing Semi-Translucent wings too. It was also glowing pink with sparkles falling below it.

The Armor seemed to be a larger and more armored version of the Cardinal Crimson Promotion. It had 3 tails on its back instead of 1.

But, That wasn't the only thing with the armor. Something was behind Issei.

As the smoke cleared up, A large Crimson-Red western dragon with Green eyes was seen behind Issei.

Bahamut couldn't believe it, He actually managed to awaken Ddraig. Even pull off an Ultimate Balance Breaker.

"Hello there Issei, It truly has been a while." The Crimson Dragon said.

That's where I'm ending this off. New chapter Today or tomorrow. I don't know.

Ok see ya bye.
