So... yeah, hyper hyped. Longest chapter so far, and apparently, thing are getting very interesting. But I guess I'll have a little pause for now with this fic. back to my originals in fictionpress. But whoever is enjoying this fic, I'll be back in no time. Maybe first I'll write a hentai, and then I'll go back with this fic. Thank you~.
As always, Highschool DxD does not belongs to me~.

Ugh... What the hell... My head hurts...
What happened? I remember going crazy because of some memories, my mom crying, everything going crazy and angsty, and when I snapped, suddenly, everything went blank, and... Just that. I can still feel my thumbs and toes, so I'm good for now, right? Right?
When I recovered enough strength to look up and around, I found myself in a classroom, my classroom in Kuoh Academy. I was sitting in my new place, besides where Kamiyama should be sitting. Huh, that's odd, I don't remember being here, or coming here whatsoever. Moreover, for some reason, I'm wearing my uniform, and no one is around. I'm completely alone in here...
I sighed. What the hell happened? Going berserk? That's so not me. But those memories did hurt. Am I really that pathetic? Simple memories hurting me like that... I wonder if senpai had ever one those freak-outs. Better forget about him for a second and focus on me first. Is this my mental world whatever? Where I should have some kind of conversation with my dark side/evil counterpart/dark emotions, fight against and win to get out of here? Most like it.
"Hey, evil me? Dark side? Shadow-self? I know the drill, get out of wherever you are. Let's talk." I said out loud to the ceiling, hoping to something to happen. Instead of it appearing out of nowhere to scare me and state the obvious, I'll call it so we can go faster. A few seconds passed, but nothing. I grunted. Maybe if I close my eyes for a second, something will eventually happen. And waiting, and waiting...
And waiting...
And waiting...
And wait-...
"Aren't you a savvy one? Smartass, this is not a shounen light novel, y'know." I heard, a little surprised to pick a female voice instead of a hoarse, powerful one, like one of a dragon's. Since it came from my back, I first turned around in my seat to see if there was anyone there. Nothing. When I was about to turn around, I gasped in surprise: there was a pretty girl sitting on the teacher's table, wearing Kuoh's female uniform. She had crimson red hair in a short, spiky cut, golden eyes and fair skin; and the most notable thing about her was the fact that she was a FLAT redhead. Maybe it's just the Gremory sisters, but seeing a flat redhead is making me lose my mind... Oh, wait...
"G-Gremory...? No, wait, who are you? Where am I?" I asked. Those might sound cliche, but I really want to know where exactly I am. In a dream? In my head? The multi-dimensional labyrinth? The redhead in front of me sighed in visible disgust, and picked a piece of chalk to write something on the blackboard. It took a while, but she finally managed to write it down: first in kanji, then in hiragana. Reading those, it was Yagura. "Yagura... San? That's quite a name."
"Nah, not much. People used to call me arrowhead all the time. Annoying as hell." She shrugged, tossing the piece of chalk to a random direction and standing up from the teacher's desk. "But I guess is better than having no name, isn't it, mr. Number 1,879,611,363,476?"
"What the...?" Huh? What's with that huge number? Did she just called me that? That girl, Yagura, then snapped her fingers in realization, and picked another piece of chalk and wrote the number down one more time, with just one number more.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot about that one. This makes you mr. Number 1,879,611,363,477! So sorry for my mistake. I'll remember that next time." She said with an uneasy expression, as I mimicked her just like that, and we stared at each other for some seconds. "But, hey, at least you were your idol for just a few seconds. Isn't that great?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" I questioned her. She only shrugged again, tossing her chalk to another random direction, and sat back on her place on the teacher's desk. This is ridiculous. I wanna get out of here, I have to train. I stood up from my seat and walked to the exit door. "Whatever. I'll be taking my way away from you. I don't know if you are my conscious, my evil side or whatever, but I don't have time for this. I have to-..."
"It's okay to be an extra, right?"
*ZOOM!*
"What...?!"
"It's okay to be... Just a nobody. For you, right?"
[BOOST!] *PUNCH!*
"Tch...!" My instincts tingled in the right moment, as I summoned my Boosted Gear and sword and blocked a punch from that girl, who flash-stepped in front of me to do just that. I slid through some chair on the floor, and stopped right in the middle of the classroom, burnwheel marks on the floor and burned shoe soles. However, what surprised me beyond all of that was the fact that girl had the Boosted Gear too! Worse, she had also the Rhongomiant, or at least a copy of it! "What the... How?! I thought the boosted Gear could only have one user!"
"And I am a user, mr. Number 1,879,611,363,477. Isn't that obvious?" She said nonchalantly, shrugging and hanging that massive sword with her dragonic gauntlet like she was mocking me. I gripped the hold on my own in frustration and Anger. What the hell she means by those? Is she trying to make me angry?
"This makes no sense, and stop with this mr. Number 1,879-whatever ! I have a name, y'know! It's _!"
...?!
What the...?! _! _! _! What the hell?! I can't... I can't!
"Let's see... Carlos, George, Kent, Risa, Thomas, Dav, Hiruma, Donnatello, Ming-Ming, Tien, Akita, Maria, God Lee, Lyan Hwan, Victoria, Jaina, Tejas, Toshio, John, Reddon, Alexander, Komachi, Adolf, Liu, Michelle, Joseph, Sylvester, Marcos, Sheilla, Keiji, Kanako, Jared, Keika, Erika, Bourne, Akari, Alex, Wolf, Peggy, Amelia, Ryuichi, Ivan, Helena, Nina, Sergei, Aaron, Anastasia, Bao, chin Chun-Li, Borjigin, Hong, Eva, Isabella, Wac, Enrique, Sandra, Antonio, Rohan, Rachel, Mirapix, Friz, Marcia and, of course; Belzard, Eisha, Issei and you, plus 1,879,611,363,411 others. Those are the names of some of the previous Boosted Gear users." When she finished her long list of names, suddenly, the world trembled, and by my side, the blackboard began to shake, only to magically write down in white chalk every single name she spoke plus some more. She dropped her sword and walked there, only to risk down every single name, leaving four intact: Belzard, Eisha, Issei and my own. "Of course, you wouldn't remember not even one millionth of them, because there were just like you: extras. But unlike you, rather than didn't want, they couldn't. Belzard was the strongest of them all, while Eisha was the second strongest and Issei became the hero of the underworld. Those are whom become main characters, while the others fell into non-existence, never known, never acknowledged. Now, I bet all of them wanted to to become special in some way. Even those without the knowledge of their power wanted to be more than nameless extras. You saying 'I want to be an extra', that's just offensive for those before you. But if you want to be one so bad..."
*RISK!*
Belzard - Eisha - Issei - Ichijou
"No that you'll mind, right, mr. Number 1,879,611,363,477?" Enraged until the last string of hair, I leaped towards her with my sword at hands, ready to cut her in half of at least get her out of the way. But when My blade was about to reach her, *BAM!*, she used her handle to hit me away, making me crash against the blackboard. "But not everyone can achieve that. And I know you won't be the one. But I want you to say one thing: Why do you fight?"
"W-Why...?" I used my sword to support myself as I stood up and coughed a little of blood. Why she asks that? If she's my other half, or even Ddraig for what is worth, she should know by now. "Why... Why do you ask? To be like senpai, of cours-..."
"So why content yourself in being an extra?" That question pierced my heart in the right spot, as I bit my tongue. Damn... She sighed, sticking her sword to the ground and frowning at me. "Let me ask you again: why do you fight? What's your reason for such?"
"It's because... It's because I want everybody to shut up! I want silence! I want...!"
*BAM!*
"Then explain to me why do you want to become stronger? Since being strong will only make people rely on you more." She said as she hit me with her smooth-edged sword, sending me flying to the opposite wall and opening a hole with my 'help', as I bit my tongue again. "Be honest, why do you want to become stronger? What's your reason to fight? Why do you hate when people drag you around like a ragdoll? Don't worry, this place is isolated from the world. You can say whatever you want here, be yourself..."
"You... Who are you?! Are you Ddraig?! The welsh Crimson Dragon and my partner?!" I said as I stood up and clashed blades with her. The impact made us both took a distance from one another, and she only sighed.
"Like I've said, I'm Yagura. The only question left unanswered is... Who are you?"
"What?! I'm _! Shit! What the hell!"
"As long as you don't answer me from your heart, then you're just an extra. 1,879,611,363,476 others wanted to have a name, and only three of them succeeded. Since you're happy in being an extra, I guess you don't need one." She said, jumping in my direction, as I prepared my own sword and did the same. "You don't need a name of you're just wanna be an extra. Now, you're just mr. Number 1,879,611,363,477."
*CLASH!*
"SHUUUUUT UUUUUP...!"

Hwan Jin-Yong is out of commission...
All of my Bones have been broken seven times...
Praise the Phenex and their tears, or else me and the dragon would be goners by now. Ichijou is now a miniature dragon, wondering and looking around like a lost child in a strange place, his extra limbs and wings hanging from his Jewels and back, while he was destroying everything by just walking around. For some reason, instead of going around destroying and causing mayhem, he was just looking around. Sometimes he would look at his own hand and clench it a few times, sometimes his wings and extra arms would twitch a little, but in the end, he was just standing there...
"Gah... Gah... Gah..." The beast in my Bro's body grunted, looking at the skies, his wings twitching a little. I knew what he was planning to do, so I unfolded my own dragonic ones. The tail by his back slapped the ground, causing a massive shockwave, and finally he took flight, ascending in a straight line. I did the same, and in no time, he we clashed in midair, as I headbutted that helm of his and he faltered a little, losing control and falling now. However, in another second, he used his extra appendices to control his gliding, and again, he slapped me hard with his massive extra hand, making me open a crater in the hot springs on landing. I extended a hand to the skies, and a shower of lightning descended from it. He dodged once, twice, and ZAP!, the third one hit him straight, making him also fall and land on another pond. "Gwaaaah... Aaah...!"
"Same here, bro. I'm gonna be sore tomorrow." I said, as I adjusted my jaw back to it's place, cracking some articulations too, as the mini-dragon in front of me emerged from his crater and again wondered around, looking for something. I morphed my hands to of a dragon's, and prepared myself to another possible clash. I don't know, why doesn't he attack me out of the blue? Why doesn't he destroys everything around? He just keeps wondering around, like its none of his business. But if this continues, he'll run out of energy and perish. I have to stop him. Okay, Aria, concentrate... Concentrate...
...
*ZOOM!* *PUNCH!*
"Gwaaaaah...!" And I tried to punch him again, breaking part of the core jewel in his chest, but also shattering part of the dragon scales around my hand. The pain is intense, but I lifted my other hand and punched again, now shattering part of his chest armor, that flew away like scraps of metal before dissolving in the air. Before I knew better, he opened his mouth, and from there, I saw an ominous glimpse of light shining at me! Is this...!
[BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!]
[LONGINUS SMASH-...!]
*KICK!*
*BOOOOM!*
It hurts... It hurts like crap! I kicked with my scaled leg his jaw to close his mouth shut, and then his whole head exploded in an light sphere of pure demonic energy, pushing me away for miles until I landed on another pond of water. Not even the water is recovering me from my wounds anymore. My leg in bent in an abnormal way, with burned-out skin peeled out, and both my hands were broken. I had to swim to the surface to take some air, and when I did, I saw the measure of the power I avoided for a nail.
The whole west section of the springs, that was the size of an entire mountain, simply vanished from there, and taking its place, there was a giant pond, no, lake of hot waters, slowly being filled by the now waterfalls around it borders. That move, Longinus Smasher, just leveled an entire mountain of chains of small ponds and turned it into a lake of hot waters. I'm... I'm scared. For a nail I avoided being turned into nothingness, and for it I could've killed my bro.
"Haaah~... Gwaaaah~...!" I heard from a great distance. I took a closer look to the center of the new hot spring lake, and there he is, emerging from the waters and looking confused again, probably lost, only to unfold his dragon wings again and take flight, creating an enormous shockwave from there. I can't let him get away like this, or else he'll destroy everything and kill everybody. My body... I can't move very well, but at least... I have to...
*BAM!*
"GAAAAAOOOOH...!" And now, I did it. I can't move, my energies are running out, but I did it. I've created a super magical barrier around that pond of water. And just in time, as when he was about to get out of my sight, I lifted the barrier, making him hit it like a fly into glass, lose control over his jets and wings, and fall to the springs again, lifting a big pillar of water. And now, silence. There he was, floating downwards in the water, immobile. I thought for a second that I would have now a chance to talk to him out of him senses, but then he stood up again, as a red aura leaked out of his body. He clenched his hands, and smashed his own face against the floor, causing another crater to appear. And then, he tossed his head backwards and did something that I'll never forget. "Haaaah~...! Gwaaaaaah~...! ROAAAAAAAAAAR...!"
Even with the barrier up, even with the fact that I'm pretty away from him, that scream, that roar, almost ripped my soul into pieces. It was so deranged, so alien to me, I thought I was going to lose it as those vibrations echoed in my head, like nails on a board, even worse. and it was not just me: the earth below my feet began to tremble, and the water around him boiled instantly, lifting a curtain of steam in mere seconds. The worst part came seconds later: when all the smoke cleaned off, I saw several cuts and rips on the fabric of reality around him, sucking everything on sight and growing larger and in numbers as his screams reached a critical point. If this goes on, he'll destroy this part of the underworld! But What should I Do?! I can't move, and even if I could, I wouldn't know what to do! Damn it... Ichijou... I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry...
"Hey, ugly face!"
"Roar-...?!"
*PUNCH!*
*GWAAAAAAH...!"
*CRASH!*
"Uh...?" When I almost lost all hope, when I was about to give up, I heard that conversation down below that hot spring lake, and before I knew it, Ichijou's Juggernaut Drive flew away in god-like speed, breaking my barrier like it was nothing and coming crashing down another small mount. And not just that, he stuck there, having difficulties to get out even with his Juggernaut Drive on! What in the world?!
"Wow, wow, not bad, Sekiryuutei! You almost broke my hand, and That's a goddamn achievement. Might as well reward you with a Purple Heart..." I blinked back where Ichijou originally was, and to my surprise, there he was: short and smooth white as snow hair, imposing, muscular frame under extremely formal wear, pale skin and violet eyes that stares at your soul to freezing degrees. He himself was countering and fixing Ichijou's reality rips with his own leaking power, with standing on the waters without his wings. There he is... Lord Cohen Lucifer, Nemesis's father and Lord Sirzechs's successor. "... That I'll blacken myself."
The albino by the other side smiled, as from the crater that he created a long spiky tail emerged to slap and crash the ground around it. The miniature dragon escaped, and seeing the man standing tall on the waters, he roared to him. Lord Cohen only smiled. *ZOOM!* Too fast! In a blink of an eye, Ichijou crossed the path between the mountain and the lake, creating a path of pure destruction with it, practically scarring the land with a path hole. He was face to face with the Lucifer, and was about to hit him when...
*BOOMM!*
"GWAAAAAAAH~...!" Now, Ichijou went to the skies, flying high on it only to crash-land not to far from his rival. Even faster than the Sekiryuutei, Lord Cohen punched him. Not just that, his assaulting fist was covered by some kind of club-like carapace, and it was on FIRE!
"Or maybe I broke my hand myself. Wouldn't be surprising, after all, The only One that can defeat me... Is me! Or I? Or myself? I dunno." He said, extinguishing the fire with the waters and walking to the floating berserk Sekiryuutei. "Now, now, how does it feel to receive a human-sized Rainbow Mantis Shrimp punch?"
*GRAB!*
"Grrrrr...!" Lord Cohen were too slow to react, so Ichijou grabbed him tightly by the ankle and from it, he boosted his standing, his fists announcing [BOOST!] as he tried to punch the albino devil, and he succeeded!
*ZOOM!*
"ROAR...!"
"Tch! Having your filthy hands touching me, and even thinking it can level yourself to me! Have you no shame!" But it was just an afterimage, as Lord Cohen substituted himself with a piece of his clothing and reappeared behind the Sekiryuutei, kicking him away for miles with his abnormally bend Legs. And no, he didn't break them, his legs only morphed in a way similar to of a flea's. "Know your place!"
The truth is, despite the sister's surnames, Lord Cohen is not part of the Gremory family, at least not blood-related. Cohen was once a servant boy of a little lady Alice Gremory, Nemesis's old lady, who she fell in love with and married. Little did they know, that boy was not just an ordinary Extra Devil. Oh, no, he descended from a long line of now nomad Extras, the Alastor clan, former Servants of the original Lord Beelzebub, like the Lucifuge were for the Original Lord Lucifer. Since he was just a commoner, and now a Satan, the Gremory sisters inherit their mother's surname. Do they have an exclusive ability like the Bael's or Abbadon's, you ask? Yes.
Metamorphosis.
Being servants of the master of the flies, it was only natural for the Alastor's to have such disgusting powers. By channeling their energy into their bodies, they can morph them to of any kind of arthropod, such as insects, crustaceans and myriapods. It might sound silly, but putting in perspective, a Rainbow Mantis Shrimp's punch BOILS the water around it and the shockwave alone can kill a normal crustacean, while the flea has one of the most powerful legs in the animal world, jumping almost 200 times their own body weight. In short, Ichijou is fighting a devil who has missiles for fists and can jump out of orbit.
*Tick-Tick... Tick-Tick...*
"Now, now. I know you're not dead, Sekiryuutei. But where did you go? Seki-wuss-Tei~? Come out and play~." Mocked the satan, as the antennae on his head twitched back and forth. The earth trembled again, and out nowhere, a pillar of dust lifted, The Juggernaut emerging from there and descending to try his way against Lord Cohen again. Cohen, on the other hand, smiled maniacally, as he lifted his fists once again to clash against Ichijou's own. The impact of the two caused a massive shockwave, no only washing the waters away, but boiling and breaking everything around. This is just insane. If they don't die, I think they'll destroy the underworld with them!
Also, lord Cohen is not wearing pants now. He used them as a distraction when Ichijou grabbed his ankle. Why not his jacket or shirt? Because he's a pervert.
Yeah...

Blood on walls, blood on the ceiling, blood on he floor, blood on the desks, blood on the blackboard, and it's all mine. I've been fighting that girl for a while now, and despite being in my current state, a right hand missing, covered in blood and messed clothes, I did a number on her, as her clothes were also a mess and she had some pretty brutal bruises, but I was on the worst end.
"I give up. Just let me pass, you stuck-up bitch." I said to the girl who was standing in front of me, supporting her massive sword on her shoulder. Yagura, the redhead, simply sighed again, taking her way to in front of the exit door. I supported myself with my sword, stumbling a little for the fact that I no longer have a hand here, and walked to her.
"Like I've said, mr. Number 1,879,611,363,477, You can't go back if you're still in doubt about yourself." She said, nonchalantly putting her sword beside her to rest her back against the wall. Again this stupid stuff. What does she means by that? Why she keeps me locked here?
"I'm not, Yagura-San. I hate my sisters's bullying, I hate Gremory's orders, I want to be just like senpai, and I am okay in being just an extra, like those other users!" I said back, readying myself to another possible clash. However, Yagura-san just sighed, and signed her hands to the door. Huh, now that was fast. To think she cornered me not too long ago. Still, I lifted my blade with one hand, and pointed it to her. "What... What's the meaning of this? What are you doing?"
"Isn't it obvious? I'm letting you go." She said, not looking at me anymore. I frowned a little at her, and stopped on my track. I don't know what she's planning, but I won't fall for that. She did the same, and we stared at each other. "No, I'm not trying to deceive you. If you're okay in being an extra, in being simply a nameless one, just like the others, then you're okay to pass. I won't stop you. Go ahead and live your life."
"..." I gulped. I was still kinda uneasy about it, but then Yagura tossed her sword to a random direction, putting her Boosted Gear away. She's being serious, she's really letting me go. So... This is how it is, right? Easy-peasy, like Aria-San would say. At least, I can go away from here. It put my sword and Boosted Gear away, and walked to the door, while Yagura-san walked away from the exit and sat again on her place on the teacher's desk, which was slightly broken, but still standing tall and firm.
"Just so you know, I'm into guys who are honest to themselves." She said by my back. I ain't looking at her, but for some reason, I can feel her look of pity and disapprove towards me. "But for you, being an extra its okay, right? You're angry of your sisters's bullying and Gremory's orders just because, right? You want to become stronger just because, right? You're wanna be just like Issei just because, right? Right, mr. Number .477?"
Yeah... I really don't care... Do I? I mean, I can't beat senpai, or this Eisha or Belzard. I'll try to become stronger just because... Just because. Yeah... I'm angry for being a ragged doll of my sisters and Gremory because... Because. Yeah, being an extra, a nameless one, it's okay, right? Right?
Right?
Right?
Right?
...
...
*BAM!*
"No. It's not."
"Ara? What? Did you remember about your sisters again? Or did you finally realize that... No, let me ask you again: why do you fight? Why do you want to become stronger?" She asked again, as I clenched my left hand tighter, the one I punched the door with. She didn't alienate me, she didn't give another reason, she didn't even said what I truly feel. She just dig deep into my emotions, and picked the deepest, darkest root. Maybe that's what ninja wanted to say, but for a nail I avoided telling her. That chick, though, just shattered all of my masks, and now wants me to admit it myself. I hate her so much...
I gulped, turned around, seeing her giving me a sly smile, and finally said...
"Because... Because I want to beat them!"
"Hoooh~..." She moaned as she hugged herself, trembling a little. I gulped again, swallowing all of my pride, and continued.
"Not just senpai, but this Elsha, this Belzard, all the others previous users... I want to beat them all! I might not be the strongest, the fastest, the smartest, the most popular, but I want to beat the strongest, the fastest, the smartest and most popular previous Boosted Gear Host!" I said, frowning and clenching my other missing hand. Yagura now had a smile on her face, but instead of pride, it was a lewd smile, while drool running down her mouth.
"O-Oh, my~... Such determination~... I like it."
"I respect senpai... Because he was strong despite being normal, and I want to be strong despite being just normal! I want to become strong... Because I want to be more than just that 'Boosted Gear brat'! And I want everybody to shut up... Because I want to scream and shout, myself!" Before I knew it, I was crying. I don't know if it is sadness, or anger, or pride, or relief, I just keep crying my heart out.
"Ohh~... Ooh~... Your determination and resolution are melting me~... I might not even be able to control myself!"
"Even if I don't have a tragic past, I want to prove that I can be stronger than those who have! Even if I don't have a special lineage, I want to prove that I can be stronger than those who have! Even if I am not perfect, smart, pretty, strong, likable or even worth living, I want to beat all the perfect, smart, pretty, strong, likable and worthy people and show everybody that I can be stronger than them all!" I screamed, rubbing my eyes and drying my tears. I snorted. "Who wants to be an extra, anyway?! I just accepted that because I wanted to become stronger without any strain!"
"Ooh, wow~! I think I'm falling in love with you~! Just a bit more! Just a bit more and I'll be all yours!"
"I want... I want to be happy! I want to be cool! I want to be strong! I want to be the best, even if this is impossible! I want to reach higher and higher! I want to be like senpai and a little more! I want to be the special one in the crowd! I want to be more than just 'brat', 'red Dragon', 'Sekiryuutei', 'bro' and 'number 1.87-whatever'! I want... I WANT TO BE A MAIN CHARACTER!" I screamed my heart out, as the girl in front of me screamed as she reached some kind of peak, drooling uncontrollably and twitching until the last string of hair. "But, above all else, above anything else... I WANT TO BE SOMEBODY!"
"Waaaaah~! I can't hold any longer! Let's kill each other and reach for the ultimate climax!" And now, the so composed girl I met just a few seconds ago broke, releasing a true pervert, as she summoned her Boosted Gear and sword, leaping in my direction. "Come and get me... TSUKINO ICHIJOU!"
[DRAGON BOOSTER!]
"YAGURAAAAAAH...!" I summoned also my boosted gear and the sword, as I also jumped towards her. I gripped tightly the handle of my sword, and Screamed on top of my lungs her name. We reached each other, he swing our swords, and then...!
*KLING! KLING! CLASH!*
*BOOOOOM!*
...
...
"Wow... That was... Amazing..." It was over, and like any other time, I've won for a nail. We clashed, we exploded, we destroyed. The impact of both overwhelming powers clashing blew us away, together with the whole room, the seats, the table, the blackboard and more, as I was still standing with my arm totally broken, but with enough force to support myself on two feet. Yagura-San, on the other hand, clashed against the other wall, and opened a small crater there, now resting on the floor and her back against the wall. For a moment, I thought I was going to die. But, I guess that does it. I took deep breath, and walked to the exit door, ready to get out of here, but when I touched the small handle to slide it open, Yagura-san called for me again. "Wait! Ichijou... Ichijou."
"What...?" I turned around to look her in the eyes. She was bruised, she was cut, and her left arm was bent in a rather gruesome way, but she was smiling, and that alone was enough to make me blush a little.
"what are you... Going to do now? You have the objective, of course, but... How are you gonna do it?" She asked me, in a calm, composed, almost motherly tone. I frowned a little because of that rollercoaster of personalities coming from her, but in the end, I sighed.
"I.. I don't know for now." I admitted, taking a deep breath and looking back at her. "But nothing is impossible, since... This entire 'protagonist Essence' Bullshit was just a bluff, right?"
"Huh... Huhuhuh... You are sharp... It took a while for you to discover it, though." She laughed, still on the ground. Yep, it took me a while, but I finally get it. "Yes. There's no such thing as protagonists, antagonists, main characters, side characters, extras or anything here. This is not an anime, or a manga, or a movie, or a light novel, or even a fanfiction. This is real life, and in real life, there's no good and bad, or heroes and villains, or black karma and white karma. There's only winners and losers. And the losers are always the bad guys, and the winners, the good guys. That Nero guy just messed with you with some other kind of power."
"..."
"As long as you have power, you'll always be the protagonist. If you become stronger and famous, you can do whatever you want, and people will still see you as a protagonist, even if you're just a disgusting perverted virgin with nothing but shit and tits in your head. So I'll ask you again... How's your story going to be, Tsukino Ichijou?"
How? I wondered. In this world, power is everything. Strength is everything. You can be a hero if you're strong, you can be a super-villain of you're strong. You can make everyone bow to you if you're strong. Yet, senpai did nothing of those. He just wanted to be happy with his harem... He just wanted to live his life. Yet, he became the hero of the underworld. I don't... I don't want to stain that legacy, yet, I want to be myself. Senpai, how can I love and hate you at the same time, with you pushing me forward and at the same time making me carry that weight?
"I... I don't know. I simply don't know." I sighed in defeat. The only thing left for me to do is. "But one thing for sure: I'll become stronger, for the sake of his legacy. For the sake of the others that couldn't be heroes and heroines. I'll become stronger."
That was kinda cool, maybe not much, but it was kinda cool. This is it, right? I'll try to become the very best, and even if I don't make it, well, at least senpai will still have his legacy. I swallowed my pride once again, and stepped again to the door, but again, that smooth voice called for me.
"Huhuhuh... You're cheesy and kinda pathetic. Why does the recent Boosted Gear users are now stupid teenage morons?" She said in a mocking tone, as I felt some hands reaching for my shoulders. Before I knew it, they turned me around to face a now completed healed Yagura, as she approached herself to me. "But I guess... This is the charm that made me fall in love with you~."
"What are you sayin-...!"
*Chuu~...*
And after that... Blank. Nothingness. She just kissed me. She stole my first kiss. She mouth-raped me. And I liked it. Even though after that, I blacked out...
"Huhuhuh... Wow, passing out after your first kiss. You really are pathetic."
Shit.

"Phew! For a second, I thought he was going to make me take off my boxers! I wonder what happened to this lad for him to come back like that."
"This is a kind of information I want to live without, uncle Cohen!" I said, as I carried Ichijou, whose body is now back to normal, as Lord... I mean, Uncle Cohen, is now only wearing his boxers, his necktie and some black socks. It can't be helped, his escape ability is only possible if there is a substitute for the attack. But of course, he's just messed around and looked just for a reason to strip. He was using all of the pieces of a complete set, and some of them he discarded himself!
"Whatever, you're just jealous because I'm fabulous!" Seriously? Everyone could've died and the only thing you're interested right now is your mojo? "But, that lad, Ichijou, you say? My daughter's queen? He just activated Juggernaut Drive alone? I'm actually surprise, and the only thing that can surprise me is myself!"
"Not time for jokes, uncle Cohen!" I said as I wrapped Ichijou in a towel and unfolded my wings to get out of the crater. he unleashed Juggernaut Drive, fought with me and Jin-young, destroyed the whole west wing and part of the south wing, and fought a satan that is literally a giant japanese hornet. I have to take care of him! Fast! Oh, brother, I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry...

Huh... Your first kiss, and you pass out. That's cute, but you're still pathetic. You look a lot like dad in every regard. Don't you agree, Ddraig?
[Indeed, partner. The sight of him brings me some very fond memories of my former partner. He has the will, but does he has the courage?]
Geez, of course. He has potential, he'll become stronger, that's for sure, and with that... Little present I gave him, then maybe you'll see. I like him. Besides, you can't say much yourself, mr. Oppai Dragon.
[Huh. Even that nickname became a dear memento for me. This lad better not disappoint us, with all the hopes you're putting on him.]
It's best to put hopes and be disappointed than wait for nothing and let our faces hit the floor. Oh, well, he's down, better get him back to his world. After that one, Juggernaut Drive is probably out. It is, isn't it?
[affirmative.]
Good. This lad sure is interesting.
[Not as interesting as your father. Am I right, miss Yagura Gremory?]
Huh... Typical...

And... It's done... Holy crap, I'm hyped for the anime, Shinmai maou's BD and this fic. I don't even know if i'm doing this right, but this is getting fun. I'm having fun with this fic, and I don't even know if I'm doing it's hurting the plot or anything. But, yeah, Ichijou is a selfish bastard. You thjink he was innocent enough? Hah, he's actually a selfish bastard who wants to use anything in his reach to be a somebody... Just like me. And issei's daughter living in the sacred gear with Ddraig around. That should be fun. As you can all see, too, yes, I'm a pretty fan of Terraformars. the anime was okay, and the whole concept is just sick.
Well, nothing else to say. Stay golden, and best of lucks poking breasts~(Damn, episode 3 had a good fight, but everything went so rush.)
