Chapter 4 First Kill
As the helicopter raced through the night sky towards Poland, the two passengers were praying to God that Jeanne, the girl sent to help them would be all right and alive by the time they arrive. As they neared the last location where Jeanne last contacted the Vatican, the sense of danger was very high on their minds.
It took almost 2 hours for them to arrive at the location near the city of Krakow, as they landed on the ground, both were already on high alert with their weapons at the ready. Looking around them, they could clearly tell that there was a battle here, the surrounding area was filled with craters and fallen trees. As they searched the site for any clues that could tell them where to go, it was Issei's dragon that decided to point out the way to where he felt fallen presence.
(Child, there is some Fallen presence to the North-West of you in that forest. Best to be on the lookout you two.) Indraugnir spoke making both Mirana and Issei look at latter's chest, where an armor plate with a ball in the center glowed brightly blue.
"You sure Indrau?" Issei asked making the dragon growled in affirmative.
(Yes, I can sense them easily. We dragons have much better sense than other supernatural beings.) Indraugnir answered, making Issei nod as he turned towards Mirana, who was looking at the direction that was pointed out to them.
"Ise, let's go. The faster we get there, the faster we can finish this mission and save Jeanne." Mirana said making him nod as they both started walking towards Jeanne's position.
As they started to get deeper and deeper in the forest, they could hear some voices in a distance, deciding to keep a low profile and to use the element of surprise that they thought they have.
With the voices getting louder and louder, Issei and Mirana hid in nearby bushes and started to creep slowly towards the voices. Getting in their sights, they saw a huge campsite that had a few outposts around it, timing their presence as best as they could, they started to wait what will happen and to look for an opening to attack. As the hour past, seeing that nothing was happening, Issei started to lose patience as he just couldn't just sit idle and pray for the blond girl to be alright.
"Mirana, it looks like we need to make the first move, let's split up and attack from both sides." Issei whispered to her, making her look at him with wide eyes.
"NO!" She hissed making Issei glare at her.
"We can't wait any more Mira, if we wait for another hour, she could be dead, and I don't want that to happen, do you?" Issei hissed back with a glare making her bit her lips hard before reluctantly nod.
"Fine we will do it your way then." Mirana answered making Issei nod.
"Okay then, I will go to the other side of this encampment. When you feel my power rising, you then attack, alright?" Issei explained his plan to her.
"Okay, but we don't know where she is Ise." Mirana said making him groan.
(The one you are looking for is in the main tent, I can feel her sacred gear.) Indraugnir told them making them smile a bit before they got serious again.
"Thank you Indrau, well now we know Mira, I will start moving to keep out of site okay and stay safe." Issei said before attempted to move.
But before he could move away from her, Mirana grabbed his arm firmly and spun him around to face her before she slammed her lips to his making him widen eyes. He expected her to hug him or something similar, but to kiss him, it was something that he didn't expect at all. As he was so lost in the kiss, Mirana took the opportunity and put her arms around his neck and deepen the kiss. She poured all the emotions she held for him in that kiss, as she was afraid that their first mission could also be their last.
The kiss wasn't long or complicated, but it was full of pent up emotions that were needed to be released, so that if she was to die at least she would have one thing accomplished. As they separated from each other, Issei was still in shock so much that Mirana couldn't help but softly giggle at his expense, and as he heard her giggles he snapped out of it but before he could say anything Mirana put a finger on his lips softly.
"We'll talk about this later, now we have another blonde to save. So, let's get in position, alright darling?" She softly told him as he just sighs and started moving towards the other side, finding a good place for an attack.

As the church duo was about to attack, in the camp, a small blonde-haired girl with baby blue eyes and a torn battle suit was tossing around and yelling, tied to a cross by heavy duty chains, around her where a few excommunicated exorcists and a few of the fallen who were starting to get sick of her.
"You little shit better shut up or..." One male fallen with jet black hair and dark red eyes wearing a angel's clothes said, making the blond stop her tossing and yelling to look at her with a death glare.
"Or what?!" She yelled again, making another male fallen, this time a blond with black eyes, to step closer to her as and put his hand on her neck.
"Or you aren't going to die pure that is for sure, all of us will go through you literally and then we will take your gear as painfully as possible." He said with complete evil in his voice, smirking as the girl had her eyes wide in fear at what he implied, she quickly shut up, not to get raped by over 20 males.
"Well, looks like you are smart as you are beautiful. Good girl." He said with a chuckle.
"Aww, Barton we still have 2 hours before the ritual can begin. Why not let us have some fun with her? She is going to die anyway, might as well show her what it is like before she is dead." The fallen from before said, making the one that talked to Jeanne put his hand on his chin for a moment. He then grinned, making Jeanne stare at him in fear as she started to toss around and to yell with all of her might again.
"SOMEONE HELP MEEEEEE!"
As her yell ended, they all felt a strong energy rising quickly, making them be on guard before they heard shouts of pain and screams of fear from the outside of the tent. Quickly rushing outside, they saw a brown-haired boy with a falcata, that glowed blue and an armor on the chest about to kill one of their own. But before the boy could take the life of one of his comrades, they all heard the scream of a female that made the boy stop, and look in the direction of the scream. Seeing his friend with a light sword near her neck, she had both her arms behind her with her battle suit in a tatters.
"Drop the weapon and step away, before I slice this bitches throat!" One of the fallen yelled, making the boy glare at him but complied, letting go of his weapon, making the fallen to get up before hitting him in the face hard, making the boy fall into the dirt face first.
"What the fuck happened here?" Barton asked, the commotion seized with a boy on the ground pinned by the one that punched him and the girl thrown in front of him.
"Barton, those two assaulted us. We managed to quickly take care of the girl, but that boy managed to push through all the way here. Luckily no one is dead, but some were knockout and 2 or 3 are missing an arm or a leg, but that the extension of damage done." The Fallen with white hair answered, making Barton raise an eyebrow at what he was told.
"So let me get this straight Sirus, a boy managed to defeat almost 6 of us with ease, and you couldn't stop him?" Barton asked, the white hair Fallen named Sirus making him flinch a bit at what was said.
"In our defense, he has a powerful Dragon Sacred Gear and it looks like he is trained exorcist, so you can let us a bit of the hook." Sirus replied, making Barton pinch his nose a bit trying to disappear his anger.
"Fine, though what about this cute blonde?" He asked, getting another fallen to answer.
"It looks like that the girl is with the boy...Now bitch… who are you two and what are you doing here?"
"Uh... I will never tell you... AWWWWWW!" Mirana answered, before she cried in pain as the fallen kicked her in the stomach hard.
"Better answer, or you will end up like this blondie also, deflowered and dead." Barton said, as he got closer to Mirana and knee down to her.
"No..." Mirana answered weakly, trying to get her breath back from the kick.
"Have it your way… Well, let's get this boy up, he may be more of a talker. Sirus, wake him up." Barton ordered, as Sirus sent a small electric shock to Issei, making him let out a small scream before trying to get up, only to find himself pinned down.
"Now that you are awake boy, how about you save your blonde friend from a terrible fate and answer a few questions. Hmm...sounds good?" Barton said, making Issei glare at him.
"What are you 2 doing here?" He asked, though Issei stay silent. Seeing no answer, he mentioned one of the fallen to put a bit of pain to the girls, causing Issei to widen his eyes in horror as they screamed.
"You better kill me now, or you will be dead..." Issei dangerously repliedm making Barton chuckle a bit.
"Tempting, truly tempting… But, I think there is a better way to make all three of you suffer. Now answer the questions I will ask, or that blond comrades of yours will get… how we could say… be deflowered by all of us while you watch, before we cut their throats and then kill you." Barton said sadistically, making all three church members gasp.
"Fine I will talk, what do you want to know." Issei said in defeat, making Mirana and Jeanne gasp.
"Ise don't." "They will kill you also." Both girls said, but just Barton chuckled.
"I may be a fallen, but I still have my honor. I will not kill him if I like the answers. Now, the first question is… Who are you 2?" He asked.
"I'm Issei Hyoudou, and the girl with me is Mirana Shatarova." Issei answered, receiving a nod from Barton.
"Good… What are you doing here?"
"To capture or kill you while saving Jeanne." Issei answered, but Barto start laughing while Jeanne gasps with fear in her eyes.
"Now that is funny, how do you plan to do that when you are pinned down to the ground?"
"Let me go, and I will show you." Issei told him, though Barto found it amusing and laughed it off.
"Nope. Not gonna do that, but...lift him up so he could see the fate of his friends." Barton said, the girls now horrified at what this fallen was planning, while Issei gritted his teeth as he was janked upon his knees.
With Issei in the position that Barton wanted, he made his way toward Mirana and Jeanne and with a nod to the fallen that hold the 2 girls, they ripped their clothes off completely while bending them down.
"Now time to look at what would happen to the girls Issei, enjoy the show hehehe!" Barton laughed, seeing the horrified look on Issei's face before he turned towards the girls.
"NOOOOO!" Both girls shouted in unison, as the fallen position themselves behind them.
"ISSEI HELP!" Mirana and Jeanne shouted, snapping Issei out of his horrified shock before the deadly cold Aura washed over them all.
At that moment, everything stopped, everyone started looking around them from where the strong and deadly aura was coming. And it didn't take long for them to find the source, one holding Issei started to scream in pain, causing them all to look at the boy with horrified expressions on their faces. The boy's aura started to grow even more powerful, completely terrifying everyone as his eyes and hair turned from brown to light blue, while his face donned a dark smile that sent shivers down the fallens spines.
"Quickly! kill him!" Barton shouted, the some fallen quickly created a few light spears and threw them at Issei at high speed, but to their shock, the spears disappeared as soon as they touched his aura. Issei however, started to put pressure with his aura on all of them, especially on the one that was holding him.
As soon as Issei was released, he slammed his elbow into the man's gut before turning around quickly and grabbing his throat, ripping it off with ease as the eyes of his captor lost all the life they had. Chuckling to himself, Issei lifted his right arm above his head, his blade formed in his hand as the chest plate also appeared on him, Indraugnir roaring the dreaded words for the fallen.
(Eternal Storm Balance Breaker)
With those words roared by the mighty dragon, Issei's aura completely enveloped Issei, as the power and presence continued to get even more and stronger. As the aura started to swirl around him, Issei felt armor around him started to form. It took about few seconds for it to explode, sending the closest of the fallen away from him. From the explosion, Issei immersed in his Dragon armor that was shining in the dark with such gleam that made Mirana and Jeanne blush a bit even in their states.
He was covered in an armor that looked like it was from Dragon scales, all interlocked with his shoulder blades rising spikes from the base, his hands and knees also summoned spikes that looked sharper than the sharpest sword in the world. Even the hands became its dragon claws, it's razor sharp nails so sharp, that they could decapitate a head, even the lightest swing of them.
(Look up Dragon Princes from Warhammer for the look of the armor for a better description. Only the Helmet is like Ddraig's without the moustache.)
All in all, only a slight look of him in his armor made everyone pale, they even started to back up in pure fear as they felt that Dragon's Wrath is about to be unleashed on them, that no one will survive his slaughter.
Issei started to walk slowly towards them, in his armor and his Stormbringer in his hand, the clear night started to get a lot darker as the unnatural storm was starting to form above them with huge thunderstorms and heavy rain clouds.
He again lifted his sword slightly, the huge lightning hit the ground, scorching a few angels that were unlucky to move in time, all that remained from them are ashes. Seeing his comrades killed with hardly any movements by the boy, Barton ordered a full charge at him, who started to laugh darkly as his tighten his grip on the blade and started to parry sword and spear strikes from the fallen.
Dodging a sword swipe Issei, quickly swung his armored hand in retaliation, slashing him across the chest, while with his sword he impaled one from behind between his eyes, making the former scream before his head was cut clean, while the latter instantly fell to the ground lifeless.
Seeing their comrades dead by the hands of a youth, other fallen angels went into rage and fury, as they again attempted to kill Issei from the distance, which failed again. Only this time by the armor, from the looks of things, is just too sturdy and hard. They then turned to a frontal assault, which would prove to be their biggest mistake as Issei created a fog, making him invisible to others.
One by one, the fallen where slained, the lucky ones were those that got their head cut immediately. Those unlucky, are the ones who were chopped piece by piece by Issei, who in his rage even used the remains of his enemies to kill and strangled his opponents. As the last cry of pain and terror was heard from the fog, the said fog started to fade away, leaving the site that made Mirana and Jeanne green, while Barton and Sirus where left shaking in their boots at what they saw.
Bodies, intestines, heads, you name it, there was on the small field where Issei stood. His pristine blue armor was now dirty, soaked with the crimson blood of his dead enemies, that are now laying behind him with Stormbringer shining royal blue while covered also in blood.
"That was pathetic. I hope you two will give me a better fight, before I cut you into pieces and feed you to the wolves." Issei said, as he emerged from the fog with a dark almost demonic tone, along with the powerful Dragon's aura swirling around him.
The tone in which Issei spoke, sent shivers of dread and fear to the remaining fallen duo, while Mirana and Jeanne shivered also, but where glad that he was alive.
Seeing that this boy just literally massacred their crew, Sirus and Barton started to move forward with fear replaced by fury and intensive killing intent, directed towards the boy. Unleashing their wings, both Mirana and Jeanne gasped, seeing that the 2 left where 8 winged Fallen Angels meaning that they were extremely powerful. But to Issei, they were just cannon fodder as he sprinted towards them at the speed that was unmatched.
"You little piece of shit, I was going to kill you quickly, now I'm goin..." Sirus started to threaten, only to be stopped by a powerful punch to the gut, courtesy of Issei, who was in front of him faster than the blink of an eye.
Quickly delivering a powerful punch to the guts, Sirus was sent flying past Mirana and Jeanne to the tent behind them, destroying it. Issei quickly dodged a light sword that Barton swung before he backed off, before beginning to form a tornado-like attack at him with his sword. Which prompted Barton to dodge it, while Sirus swiftly returned and started to attack Issei with his spear of light.
While the girls were in fear for Issei. Issei, on the other hand, was handling the situation with ease. Every time one would try to strike him down, he would just dodge and attack the other with the hilt of his blade or a with his fist.
In Issei's mind, he was only one thing dish out as much damage to them before killing them, that is how much fury and rage he has for the two fallen angels that where left.
As the battle continued, with Issei smashing his fists, boots, and head into them, he decided to finish them off, but what someone normal would think was to just pierce them. To Issei however, that was a too kind thing to do, so to the horror of the girls, Issei started to slip into his hidden sadistic side even more, as he used his clawed hand to stop the sword strikes, before using Stormbringer to cut Barton's arm of completely making him scream in pain.
"AHHHHHHHHHH...MY ARM... AHHHHH..." Barton shouted in pain and agony.
With damaged done and Barton laying on the ground, Issei quickly turned towards Sirus. Sirus was now extremely pissed off at the youth, who was playing with them, creating dozens of spears in the air and let them loose on Issei, who in return, started to spin his blade in his hand extremely fast and parrying the spears as they got near him destroying them on the spot.
Getting bored of this, Issei just rushed at him before ducking under the spear swipe, using the moment to cut Sirus' legs off making the said fallen fall to the ground in screams of agony.
"MY LEGS... YOU SHIT... YOU CUT MY L..." Sirus shouted in pain before he was stopped by Issei, who pierce his mouth with Stormbringer ending the life of a pathetic fallen in an instant.
"Ah finally he stopped yapping, now that leaves only you Barton, right? Well your name doesn't matter really, you will be dead anyway. But unlike your friend here, I will enjoy chopping you down." Issei demonically, said as he started to slowly walk closer towards injured Barton, who started to crawl away from Issei slowly.
"NO... YOU MONSTER...STAY AWAY FROM MEE...!" Barton shouted as he was still crawling away from Issei, who was enjoying the fear and dread of him.
"Hm... I'm a monster? Hm... I don't think I'm a monster, but I will tell you what I am... I am… a dragon who you splendidly pissed off, by trying to have your way with 2 girls... one of which happens to be the girl I love." Issei told him, as he planted his foot on Barton's chest stopping him in his tracks. While Mirana, had her eyes wide that he was in love with her.
"NO... RELEASE ME YOU MONSTER!" Barton shouted again, but Issei just removed his helmet for Barton to see his eyes, that where shining royal blue and radiated power.
"Hmm… tempting truly tempting..." Issei spoke before he darkly grinned, swinging his sword, chopping the other arm from Barton who cried in agony again.
"Ahh, now that is music to my ears, you cried wonderfully." Issei said, forcing Mirana and Jeanne to widen their eyes at how Issei was enjoying torturing the beaten enemy.
"Should I cut your leg next? or stab you to death?... hmm... choices choices... what to do… what to do..." Issei thought out loud, prompting Jeanne and Mirana to finally find their voices that they thought they lost when Issei went into a rampage.
"ISSEI!" The 2 shouted, prompting Issei to snap his head towards them, allowing them to see his blue eyes and blue hair that made the girls want to blush, but somehow managed to hold it in them.
"WHAT?!" Issei roared scaring the girls.
"Please Ise, love, you beat him, you won. Please, for my love, calm down!" Mirana shouted to him, making him look at her and then at Jeanne, who nodded her head furiously making Issei take a few extremely deep breaths.
"Fine, you win. But this bastard is going to die!" Issei said. Before anyone could say anything to stop him, Issei swung his blade again, chopping the poor fallen angel's head in two, before he released his breaker and started to walk weakly towards the 2 girls.
Getting closer to them, he clearly saw that what he did hit a core in them making them look at him in fear and dread, which made him sadly and weakly sigh as he used his Stormbringer to cut the magic ropes that bounded the 2 girls before he fell to the ground, utterly drained with Mirana being the first to shout his name as he fell to the ground.
"ISSEI!"
Done.
AN: Just to note Issei had trained for 10 years so he did gain his Balance-Breaker during time skip.
