Chapter Five: The Awakening of the Red Dragon

Later when the rescue team arrived at the church Issei busted in the door to be greeted by Freed of all people.

"Hello, Reunited At Long Laaaast!" OHHH I'm Soooo Emotionallllll!"

"Great it's the Shitty Priest!"

FScoff* "I'm Stupid Strong So I have never Fought the same devil twice before" "YOU TARNISHED MY RECORD YOU LITTLE SHIT!"

Deep Breath* "You've come to save Asia Tan, Yeah? She is right under this Alter here" Slaps the Top of the Alter*

"That Was Forthcoming?"

Said Issei Confused with Kiba Fallowing up

"Yeah, he is too nonchalant"

"That's 'cus you guys are gonna die right here."

After that taunt Koneko was fed up with the banter and picked up a Church Pew and Said "Im going to crush him now" and throws it at him. Freed Darted back and cuts it in half to find Kiba behind it and crosses swords with him knocking him back again.

Freed then drew his gun and fired at Kibas legs and then face but Kiba dodged them all. Koneko then shielded Kiba and took multiple rounds that just bounced off of her rook defenses.

Freed Commented "For a Puny thing you are tough"

SNAP! In a Fury of anger Koneko started tossing the pews left and right at Freed

Freed on the other hand Made Sport of it even saying: "HAHAHAHA Baaaatter Uuup!" and started cutting them as they came with ease.

In the meantime Kiba took the opportunity and zipped in at blinding speed crossed blades with him again and this time calling out "Holy Eraser" activating an ability he had, his sword shifted to a black color and it ate Freed's Sword causing him to curse "Another gear user".

Kiba Replied: Yes this is a Devils sword that eats Light.

Seeing his Chance with Freeds Confusion Issei moved in and activated his Twice Critical [BOOST] then Promotion to Rook afterwords.

Freed Noticed this and Fired his pistol at him, & he walked right through the bullets and Freed pulled another sword out Cursing again "Shit this one is a Pawn?" and tried to cut Issei down

However just like many times in the past with the kendo team and at there first meeting Issei dodged Freeds strike and slammed his fist into his chest but this time launching him away with an impact with much greater force thanks to the rook trait

Freed went through the wall into the next room and must had hit several items from the crashing and klanging that fallowed.

Kiba joined Issei and looked into the darkness of the hole leading into the next room where Issei sent Freed and commented. "Your Power in Rook after using your Sacred Gear may be higher than even Koneko's Issei." But his praise was short live after Freed Staggered back out into the main area of the church.

He was bleeding from the mouth and both his weapons was broken showing that they took most of the blow. He them Shouted "DON'T SCREEEEW WITH MEEEE" he then threw a ball at the ground and with a flash and smoke he was gone.

The 3 of them group close together with there backs was in the center so not to be ambushed. Koneko took a moment and looked around and said while point at the back door. "He just left out the back and is moving away from here."

Issei then rushed to the alter as quick as he could and told the others "LETS GO" and pushed the Alter aside and ran down the stairs with the others close behind smashing through the door at the bottom.

Inside they saw Raynare and well over a hundred more priest. To make matters worse she had Asia chained up to a cross.

"AISA!" Issei Screamed

Raynare was Smiling and greeted them politely as they came in

"Welcome Devils" "Its A touching Reunion but you're a bit late" Suddenly magic circles on her and Asia Chest glowed and Asia was screaming in pain.

Asia was crying and Calling for Issei from the cross so he charged along with Kiba and Koneko and plowed through the Priest to get to the cross, they were like bowling pins and toppling before him.

Issei was getting minor Cuts and Bruises from the priest's attacks but heI couldn't care less and used the Rook Attribute to push through them all. Kiba and Koneko on the other hand wasn't as reckless they were making slower progress but wasn't taking damage.

As the Priest were finally numberous enough slowing Issei down an orb of light came out of Asia's circle. As she Approached the Cross Raynare said "Finally, this is the power I have been after for years, with this all those who mocked me will no longer for I have the last laugh!"

She reached out and grabbed the Orb and Absorbed it into her chest. It was then that Asia went silent and fell limp.

Issei roared and pushed harder to get through the Group, it was then that Kiba and Koneko was at his sides giving him support and words of motivation

"Get going we'll handle these guys"

With that Issei was able to push through to where Asia and Raynare was. Raynare then Snapped her fingers and Asia was released so he could catch her. Issei was trembling with both sadness and anger as Raynare began to mock him.

"Go ahead and say your final farewells if you even can."

"ASIA! ASIA! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! PLEASE!"

"Do you know what happens to someone whose sacred gear is removed? … They Die"

"Give it back!"

"Not a chance, I even had to deceive the higher ups to do this, do you know what that means? It means none of you are leaving here alive."

"I SAID GIVE IT BACK!"

Raynare then put her hands on her hips like a pouting schoolgirl

"Boo, where is the cute little boy that took me on a date the other day?"

Issei looked over his shoulder and made eye contact with her.

"You may look like Yuuma but you're such a monster"

"Oh don't be like that. We had so much fun. I was your first girlfriend and you was nothing but an innocent little boy"

"I cared about you."

"And it Showed, you took so much effort to be at my beck and call I had to find ways to get you in trouble just to see you panic and fuss."

"Yuuma-Chan"

"Ahh Yuuma was such a fitting name, since the plan was you kill you at sun set. What do you think."

As I was about to reply Asia started to Stir and wake up.

"Oh so the little tramp is still breathing, what a shame"

"RAYYYNAAAREEEE"

"YOU DARE USE MY NAME SO LIGHTLY BRAT!"

She created a Spear and attempted to stab through them both but Issei dove away and back into the Sea of Priest. Fortunately Kiba and Koneko was waiting for him and opened a path out and back upstairs.

Upstairs Issei laid her down on a Pew

"You will be ok soon, Asia! You will be able to be friends with me and Kisara forever on!"

"…I was happy that…I had a friend…even for a short while…"

"…If I were to be born again, will you become my friend once more…?"

"We are friends! That's right! I will introduce you to Motohama and Matsuda! They are a bit perverted, but both of them are good guys! And, And Kisara will introduce you to Murayama and Katase! They are Beautiful and Kind, you will have all kinds of friends! So Please! PLEASE! Stay with me! ASIA!"

"…Thank you…"

Those were her last words.

Issei was Lost, in an abyss of despair. That's when he heard someone enter the Church.

He turned and seen Kisara standing there. She appeared exhausted from running all the way here but more prevalent was the shock on her face. Not able to take it Issei broke down on the spot.

"KKKKK-Kisara, (sniff*) Asia, Asia, (sniff*) She's, She's"

Before Issei could finish Kisara ran over and hugged his head in order to calm him down.

"I'm Sorry Oniichan"

Her words hurt, and probably even hurt her more since she wasn't able to help. But that thought was pushed away by a single voice behind them.

"What's this? Another gift for me Ise-Kun?"

Issei turned and got up to face Raynare.

"Look this is the wound I got from the sword boy downstairs."

Raynare places her hand on her wound and uses Asia's Sacred Gear to heal it.

"Look. Wonderful, isn't it? With this power even Azazel-sama and Shemhaza-sama will love me!"

Kisara Jumped up and Yelled

"Wait that's Asias, power why does she have it? What did you do to Asia?"

Issei hung his head and Raynare Grinned and Said "The same think I'm going to do to you."

SNAP* Issei heard enough and made a step forward cracking the wood floor under him. Rias' Words echoed through his mind again "One more thing, sacred gears are powered by the strength of your heart. The stronger your feelings are the more the sacred gear respond and the stronger it will become."

Issei Roared: "Give Asia Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!"

[Dragon Booster!] The Gauntlet in a flash transformed from a forearm guard to covering the full hand fingers and all in addition it changed to a Dark Red color with a Green Gem from its Orange like Color from before.

[BOOST]

Issei took another step, and charged with a punch.

"Heh! Did your power increase a bit? Still, it's not enough!"

Raynare dodged and threw a spear through his leg, even with the Rook defense it was able to penetrate it. But it wasn't enough to stop him.

"This Won't Stop Me"

[BOOST]

Issei ripped the spear out and charged at Raynare again and once again she dodged causing him to hit a huge concreate statute of a vandalized angel shattering it and knocking the large pieces through the wall.

"HUH!—! I-Impossible! Your body isn't in a condition to move! Because of the damage of light. Plus you cannot have this kind of power you are a mere low class devil!"

"Yeah, it hurts. It really hurts. So much I want to puke but I can't not for Asia's Sake and Not of Kisara's either. Watch me, I will End this with the Next Blow"

[BOOST]

"THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN"

Raynare Created a Huge spear the size of a tree trunk and threw it.

"Fly You Shitty Angel"

[EXPLOSION]

Large Bat Wings bursted from his back and Issei charged and smashed through the spear and toward Raynare whom was turning in the air to flee.

"His Power, Its above Mid Class, it's even pushing into the High Class. A Twice Critical can't possibly do that!"

Before she could escape Issei caught her by the arm and punched her in the face as hard as he could and sent her from the back of the church through the cross and stained glass above the Alter and toward the full Moon and watched her drop to the ground outside.

After Issei defeated Raynare he staggered back over to where Kisara and Asia were and was about to fall down when Kiba appeared and gave him his shoulder.

"Your Late Lady Killer"

"That's because Pres. said to let you handle it"

"She Did?"

"I did"

They all turned to see Rias standing next to the alter.

"I knew you could beat her so why bother interfering?"

At this time Koneko walked in the back Dragging Raynare.

"Oh Good. She's here. Akeno mind waking her up for me?"

"Yes, President"

SPLASH, Akeno dosed Raynare with water via Magic. Raynare bolted upright with a Gasp for air. To be greeted by Rias.

"How are you doing, Fallen Angel Raynare."

"…The daughter of the Gremory clan…"

"Hello, my name is Rias Gremory, and Yes I'm the next heir of the House of Gremory."

"YYY-You can't do this, It will start a war!"

"Don't give me that, I've done met with your allies and they fessed up everything. "

Rias then threw 3 feathers at Raynare, who sat there in terror.

Issei was as confused so he asked "Rias was able to beat 3 Angels as strong as her?"

Kiba Replied to him "Yes Rias is hailed as a genius in the underworld and was even give the moniker The Crimson Ruin Princess."

As they explained that Rias herself was busy staring at Issei or more specifically his arm, she then pushed away her own surprise and smiled turning back to Raynare.

"Fallen Angel Raynare. This boy, Hyoudou Issei's Sacred Gear isn't a regular Twice Critical. That's why you lost."

"Huh?"

"Yes, His is the Sacred Gear known to Double his power every ten seconds, and is capable of slaying even the Satan's and Gods…. One of the 13 Longinus the Red Dragon Emperors Gauntlet or as it is more commonly known as… The Boosted Gear."

This Information meant nothing to Kisara but she could tell from the doom on Raynare's face that it was something to be feared. Raynare then looked at Kisara and Issei and back at Kisara again. She the grabbed her head with both hands.

"How, HOOOW, is the Boosted Gear in possession of that boy, and how can there be another Sacred Gear just as powerful born to the same family!"

This time everyone was staring at Kisara. Who was shocked and confused and at a loss.

The one who broke the ice was Rias with a Question.

"You have a Sacred Gear as well Kisara Chan?"

"I don't know, I-I-I just known when I focus my will into my hands I create this light."

She demonstrated by creating a Ball of light in her palms.

"I'm not sure how it works but I was about to stop her attack (Looking at Raynare) with it before."

Akeno chimed in "That's surprising, have you used it since then?"

"Yes, it took some time but when Aneki and them left they sealed me in the clubroom and I had to use it to get out and catch up to them."

Surprised Rias Interrupted

"Hold on you destroyed the clubroom barrier with that?!"

"YYYY-Yes?!"

Rias placed her hand under her chin in thought. Akeno then asked her.

"That Barrier was created by Lord Asmodeus using his [Power of Absolute Defense] trait from the Glasya-Labolas Clan right?"

"Yes, Yes it was. Perhaps when we next speak to Lord Beelzebub he may tell us about this. Anyway For now we have another task to complete. Akeno, if you would?

Akeno Appeared to be very upset with what she was about to do but stepped forward and created a Magic Circle. Creating panic in Raynares eyes whom was still on the floor.

"Wait, Wait! Stop! That magic, it can't be you are…. AHHHHHHHHH"

Before Raynare could finish her sentence Akeno Fired a Beam of Light through Raynares chest. And while it caused her pain it didn't appear to harm Raynare. When Akeno Pulled back the Light beam vanished and a Green Orb of light appeared from Raynare and Rias Took it and placed it in Asia's chest. The whole time Issei was watching while sobbing. After completing this Rias Turned back to the sobbing Raynare and said.

"Now then, I will have you disappear, Fallen Angel-san."

"That healing power is for Azazel-sama and Shemhaza-sama— Please, Please I need it."

"To live your life for love is beautiful. But you are too tainted with dirt. You have no elegance. And I don't allow that."

Shaken Raynare turns to Issei

"Ise-kun! Please save me! This Devil is trying to kill me! I love you! I love you so much! That's why, let's defeat this Devil together!"

Issei was shocked and dumb founded, he shook off Kiba and took a step forward, and another, and another. Akeno started to move likely to stop Issei but Rias motioned her to stop. He stopped next to Rias and Stared at Raynare in Sorrow. He finally spoke up to her after a moment.

"Yuuma-Chan…."

"YES?!"

"Yuuma-Chan…..is Dead, I killed her here in this church…..You are not her any longer! DO NOT BRING HER BEFORE ME AGAIN OR I WILL REDUCE YOU TO DUST MYSELF!"

Issei pointed his fist at Raynare while speaking releaseing a burst of energy and Killing Intent she hastily forced herself to crawl backwards on all fours and when she hit the wall she urinated in the floor undert herself from the fear.

After he lowered his arm as he took a deep breath and finished.

"GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE, I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! IF YOU DARE APPROACH ME, ASIA, KISARA, OR ANY OF MY FRIENDS NOT EVEN YOUR LORDS AZAZEL AND SHEMHAZA, OR EVEN FUCKING GOD WILL STOP ME FROM GETTING TO YOU!"

Raynares Eyes tripled in size and she scrambled to her feet and out one of the many holes in the wall from the battle and flew as fast as her wings would carry her to the horizon.

After she left Rias said to Issei.

"You know this might cause trouble in the future right?"

"Yes"

"Not only will this impede your progress as a devil but mine as well, you realize that right?"

"Yes"

"So what do you suggest we do if someone questions us or she creates another incident like this one?"

"I'll handle it…No matter what occurs from now on I will…I will become the strongest pawn In the underworld. I will become a King! And I will protect all those I care about! NEVER AGAIN WILL A FRIEND OF MINE DIE!"

Rias Paused of a Moment and smiled then slapped Issei on the Ass, which between the surprise, his fatigue, and Injuries caused him to collapse on the floor.

Kisara quickly ran over and helped him up as Rias and Akeno Prepared a Ritual.

Carefully they moved Asia to the floor and Rias took out a Red Bishop Chess Piece from her Skirt Pocket. Immediately everyone knew what it was.

""An Evil Piece?"" asked both Issei and Kisara

"Yes, I'm going to revive this Sister as my Bishop"

Just like the Day Kisara saw her Revive Issei Rias Reincarnated Aisa Argento.

"I order, in my name Rias Gremory. You, Asia Argento. I, resurrect you back to this soil as my servant, and have you reborn as a Devil. You, my [Bishop], be delighted with your new life!"

A moment Later Aisa awoke, she sat up and looked around and her eyes stopped on the 2 familiar faces in the room, Issei and Kisara. She nervously asked

"Issei-San, Kisara-San what is going on? What happened?"

At this Point I wasn't even shocked I could understand her now I just rushed over with Issei limping behind and hugged her.

"Huuuuh? Kisara-San what's wrong, what's wrong."

Kisara relaxed and leaned back so Asia can see her and smiled as big as she could, and said.

"Welcome Back Asia."

It took Asia a moment to realize she could understand Kisara and why that is but pushed that aside and while tearing up she smiled back and said

"I'm back Kisara-San"
