2. Chapter 2 Magical Date

Edited January 12, 2019. Did some polishing. Was going to delete some of the AN but decided to keep it to act as reminder for some of the stuff I have planned.

All right! Here comes chapter 2. I have to say, I am quite surprised at the traffic stats on this story so far, especially when you consider the scarcity of stories in these categories compared to others.

For those who do not realize this or did not notice this before, this story is double posted. In the High School DxD category, it is HS Kamen Rider Wizard DXD. In the Kamen Rider Crossover High School DxD category, it is High School Kamen Rider Wizard DXD.

Now, allow me to address something that I have seen pop up a bit in the reviews for chapter 1. People have been challenging the way Rias and her peerage were unable to fight back. Here is a quote from the previous chapter "The four were caught completely off guard and unable to defend themselves … after getting up, the loss of breath and pain kept them from fighting back as the mysterious golems attacked again" Also, being devils, they normally suppress their powers while in broad daylight. Not only that, since they did not recognize the enemy, they refrained from attacking without the order of the king, which Rias was about to give until she was personally attacked "Rias started to say, until she was cut off by a monster that appeared out of nowhere … It grabbed Rias by the throat and began to choke her … yelled her companions, causing them to be distracted, an opportunity the golems used to their advantage by knocking the teenagers to the floor and pinning them down with their spears. The three were now forced to look on as Rias lost more and more strength while struggling against the grip of the monster." As I was writing this scene, I considered every reason why Issei would need to be save them despite their abilities being superior to that of Ghouls. Also, the reason Koneko's punch did not go through was that she was unable to put her full strength behind it, resulting in a push. When she gets serious, no normal Ghoul would stand a chance. As for Rias and Akeno, those two don't fight with physical techniques anyway. Not to mention, at this point, these guys lack actual battle experience aside from some weak stray devils every now and then.

Also, I don't know if anyone noticed, but there is a difference between the armor Issei wears and the one Haruto wears. For one thing, Issei has II etched into the shoulder parts of the armor. What I really think people did not notice was the trapezoidal gem on the forehead of the helmet. For Haruto, it is yellow, to which I have concluded is due to his Dragon Phantom having on its own forehead a yellow crown of sorts. That's why I decided to have the trapezoidal gem on Issei's forehead be red, but a much darker shade of red than Flame style, specifically the same shade as Ddraig's scales and the Boosted Gear. Therefore, when going into other styles, that trapezoidal gem will still be dark red. This is just something I felt needed to be addressed. Also, since Ddraig is a real dragon, his wings will already be big, even in his Phantom form, so Issei's Machinwinger does not make the wings bigger, just over lays them.

Since the voters wanted me to keep with the original place and staff from KR Wizard, I did just that. However, I decided to add a third employee who is basically an OC based on Yu Kamimura/Potirine from the Ultimatum movie. Since, according to the movie, she and the manager were one and the same, I decided to split their names with the manager being Kamimura and the OC female employee being Yu. According to KR Wizard Episode 6, the name of the male employee is Ryu, so I just went with that.

With all that out of the way, I welcome you to enjoy chapter 2.

I do not own the Kamen Rider franchise or High School DXD.

Things such as chants and data on the magic rings were obtained through Kamen Rider wiki, High school DXD wiki, and English translations of High School DxD volumes 1-16. I do however claim ownership to original spell and transformation rings as well as original techniques.

Chapter 2: Magical Date & Waking Up with a Devil and Fallen Angel…Wait WHAT!

Hours after the battle, Rias found herself waking up in Sona's mansion on the couch in one of the living rooms. Getting up, with slight difficulty, she noticed that her peerage, as well as Sona and Tsubaki, were there, and all of them immediately noticed her waking up and rushed to her side. After assuring them she was fine, she sat on the couch with Akeno sitting next to her while Kiba and Koneko stood behind them with Sona and Tsubaki sitting on another couch facing them while holding the file. Though she said she was fine, Rias noticed that her demonic energy had decreased after yesterday's events. It was still there and it seemed like it would recover with time and rest, but the fact that there was a drop in the first place made her concerned as well as curious about the condition she had been in yesterday. However, she decided to keep this little fact to herself. As Rias drank some tea, the other 5 described the battle they had witnessed.

"Thankfully, Hyoudou put out the fire before the building actually burned down." Sona mentioned after the description was over. "Gasper's room was undamaged. It's mostly thanks to the demonic enhancements on the building. But it will take a while to fix. That being said" here Sona got a disconcerted look on her face, "it's actually surprising that the monster was able to even set the building on fire, much less do as much damage as it actually did. Had it not been for Hyoudou's quick thinking and action, despite the risk of doing so in the middle of battle, it could have been much worse."

"But that's not all." Akeno said. "Though he did not use it, I could detect the power of the Lightning element flowing through him. That makes a total of 5 elements that he can use."

"Are you certain Akeno?" Rias questioned. She was especially concerned with the 5th element being Lightning, an element usually associated with those who used holy powers. Yet, Issei did not seem to be a warrior for the church or fallen angels for his magic seemed to be neutral, and he definitely did not realize that they were devils, even after being in direct contact with Rias's mind, which is what they all concluded he did with the Engage spell.

'Then again,' Rias thought to herself, 'If anyone could detect an affinity for Lightning, it would be Akeno due to her heritage.'

It was Sona who responded with, "It's true Rias. I too detected those 5 elements. However, it still doesn't make sense."

Akeno nodded in agreement before elaborating, "It take years for a master of magic to control the power of four elements, even more for five. Yet he had complete control over it. Not only that, but it almost seemed like he had an even greater power in him. The only possible answer I can come up with is that he has a mystical creature of some sort living inside of him." This got a moment of silence going as everyone processed this theory.

"After we brought you here," Kiba said, breaking the pause, "I looked into the title Kamen Rider using the internet." He then gave an outline of the history of Kamen Riders starting from Ichigo and Nigou going up to Fourze. "Unfortunately, most of this information is from blogs, tabloids, and independent articles. More specific information is either unavailable or blocked by government security. I tried using some of the backdoors your brother gave us in case of emergencies but not even that worked. It seems that these Kamen Riders are a national treasure of sorts. I decided to wait for your orders before doing anything further."

After pondering this, Rias turned to Tsubaki and asked, "What does the school file say about the boy?" Opening the file, Tsubaki began reading out the information.

"Issei Hyoudou. Born an only child, he should be 17 years old by now. His grades weren't anything impressive but at the same time not too bad. It is important to note that while he was in school, he was a member of what was called the Perverted Trio and was often caught peeping on various changing rooms with his friends."

This got all the others to go "Ahh" in unison as they remembered him better now. One does not become a member of the school's most infamous group and not get known by the whole school.

"However, there was a brief exception." Tsubaki continued, getting everyone's attention. "About 3 weeks before his absence, there was a noticeable drop in the frequency of his individual lecherous activities and he started taking his studies seriously." Ignoring the looks of surprise, Tsubaki went on. "When the teachers asked him out of concern if everything was okay, he did not give a clear answer. He simply said that he wanted to try changing into someone who could be a good role model."

This statement resulted in everyone getting a look of confusion on their faces. 'Role model? For whom?' they wondered.

"Then, 6 months ago, he stopped coming to school all of a sudden. After the first few days of his absence, the school board contacted the police. It was then that they learned that Issei and his parents were in a car accident. While Issei survived, his parents didn't." Here, all the devils in the room got looks of sympathy. "Since he did not return to school, the staff decided to keep quiet about the incident from his classmates out of courtesy. This decision was made on the basis of the fact that since Issei himself did not return he probably did not want others to know what had happened. One of the teachers did attend the funeral, and she said that she saw Issei there. However, he left before she could talk to him. Up until today, no one has seen him since."

"Frankly, I'm shocked that none of his classmates or friends ever asked the teachers about him or tried to check in on him." Kiba remarked.

"Apparently, a week after the funeral, Issei's homeroom teacher checked Hyoudou's home only to find that he was not there. However, it was still listed as the Hyoudou residence. The teachers themselves weren't quite sure what it meant, so they decided to leave it at that. As for his friends, it does not seem like they really made any effort to check up on him. Instead, they continued their perverted actions as if nothing had changed. That would explain why they have been called the Perverted Duo for a while rather than the Perverted Trio."

Hearing this, the devils in the room felt even more sympathetic for the young boy. Not only did he lose his parents, but his supposed friends did not even care to find out about his mysterious absence or make sure he was okay.

Reluctant to break the silence, Sona tentatively asked, "Rias, how do you know Hyoudou-kun?" When Rias did not respond, but merely gained an expression of reminiscence on her face, Sona directed her attention to everyone else in the room and said, "I believe it would be best if we were left alone now." Understanding the message, they all left, leaving Rias and Sona alone in the room. Sona continued to wait for an answer as Rias sipped more of her tea. Eventually she spoke.

FLASHBACK

The first time she saw him was when he had just run away from a furious kendo club after one of his peeping escapades and was under the balcony of the Old School building. He was chatting with his friends when he looked up, saw her, and met her gaze. Their eyes locked onto each other for nearly a minute before she turned around and walked back inside. Every day after that day, he would come back and sit against the tree outside the building facing the balcony and she would always go out to the balcony that same time of the day. They would look for the other, their gazes locking together, holding each other for several seconds before breaking it themselves.

She found herself intrigued by him. Most males would look at her in lust for her body or lust for her status. Yet, during these moments, there was not an ounce of pervertedness in his gaze, despite him being a member of the infamous Perverted Trio. She didn't know if it was love or not. It seemed to be more of an attraction for something purely on an emotional level. That one moment of the day made getting through hers easier every day. So, when he stopped showing up all of a sudden, she felt greatly saddened. She felt that it was partially her fault, for never actually talking to him, for leaving him with a look of disappointment on his face every day. Then she realized that he was no longer at school, she secretly became worried about his health. When she did not hear anything for a while, she came up with the conclusion that he had moved on after realizing they could never connect, so she decided to do the same. After 3 months or so, she could barely remember his face, just the look in his eyes as he gazed into hers.

END FLASHBACK

As Rias spilled her emotions, Sona just sat there and listened. When the story finished, she waited for a moment before talking. "I think it is safe to assume that how Hyoudou gained his magic is connected to his parent's death." Rias nodded her head in agreement. At the same time, she could not stop herself from wondering where Issei was and if he was okay.

Two Days Later, Sunday Morning

As Issei walked out of his house Sunday morning, he was surprised to find that no one was outside waiting to talk to him.

"So, not one of them showed up. I kind of thought that at least one of them would see if I still lived here and try to get me to go back to school." He said to himself…out loud…again. "But to think that not even President Shitori showed up…" he then got a sad smile on his face. "Guess they really don't care about me." Walking down the road, he failed to notice a certain white cat hop off the wall around his house, take a long look at the name plate and address, before walking off.

While walking around town, Issei found himself reminiscing about Kuoh. More specifically, Rias Gremory. He remembered how he would always go to the same tree at the same time just to get a glimpse of her, to hold her greatness, which definitely included those breasts of hers, in his eyes for just a moment. That was the very scene he had seen before leaving her underworld. To be honest, he wanted those days again, back when everything was peaceful and there was no worry about some mysterious enemy that he has to face.

His musings were interrupted by a girl wearing a cosplay outfit saying, "Here you go", while handing him a flyer. Glancing at it, he was surprised to see a nonsymmetrical magic circle with a formula he did not recognize. Looking back up, he saw the flyer girl walking away. He was about to chase after her when he heard some screams and someone yelling "MONSTER!" Stuffing the flyer in his pocket, he bolted in the direction it came from, completely forgetting what just happened.

At a nearby plaza…

Raynare had a "perfect" plan. She had established a "perfect" alias, a "perfect" disguise, and a "perfect" cover story. All the hours of research were finally going to be used. She knew that her target was going to pass by this plaza; it was on the way to a donut place he had been frequenting recently. With her lines ready, she was confident that nothing would go wrong. So, when she found herself attacked by what seemed to be stone imps, it was completely logical for her to scream, "What the hell?!"

She had briefly considered switching to her true form to fight back, but there was a slight problem. There were still humans in the area. It wasn't that she was worried about the fact that she would be seen, but more because it would get her in trouble for doing so, even if she erased their memories. It there was anything she wanted to avoid, it was angering her superiors. Having come to that conclusion, Raynare had no choice but to run away as if she was an actual human being.

She soon realized, much to her surprise, that they were chasing her specifically. Deciding that going to a more secluded location would be better; she tried to change direction, only to find her way blocked by more of the weird creatures. Before she knew it, she had her back against a stone column with the golems blocking her means of escape. As they conjured up spears, she prepared herself for a fight when all of a sudden there was the sound of gunfire and the golems were struck by an attack that sent sparks flying from their body. Turning towards the direction the shots seemed to come from, Raynare was surprised at the identity of the shooter.

Issei Hyoudou, her target, with a gun. That caused her to do a double take. She didn't remember anything about him having any weapons! Something else that really got her attention was the reaction of the Ghouls. When they saw him, they seemed to spit out their disgust and hatred, despite not having actual mouths.

"Frankly, I'm not too happy to see you guys either." Issei said with disgust mixed into his own voice despite the smirk that was present on his face. "So how about I make you leave," he went on saying while putting his right hand, still holding the gun, over his belt, Driver On; Please!, "that way, everyone's happy." He then flipped the Driver to left hand, Shabadoobi Touch Henshin! Shabadoobi Touch Henshin! "Henshin" he called while pushing down the Flame Ring on his left middle finger. Flame; Please! The Ghouls tried to attack by rushing at Issei, but he merely held his left hand in front of him, Hii, Hii, Hii, Hii, Hii, Hii!, causing the red Flame magic circle to appear in front of him, which deflected the Ghouls. Then, Issei ran towards the circle, passing through to the other side in his Flame armor with embers flying off him as he switched the gun to sword mode.

He slashed at the Ghouls that had been repelled earlier before making a running jump, flipping himself over the Ghouls and landing right in front of Raynare, or rather, Yuma. Spinning around, he slashed the Ghouls there before they even had a chance to retaliate, causing sparks to fly as they flew backwards.

"If you would wait just a moment miss." Issei said to Yuma while having his back to her as the Ghouls began to gather in front of him preparing for a charge. "I'll have this taken care of in a flash. Or rather, a slash." raising his sword at that last line. When he got no response, he asked, "Too corny?" As one, the Ghouls rushed at him with their spears pointed forward.

Grabbing Yuma and pulling her into his chest, Wizard II parried the spears away with his sword in his right hand. Then, he ran forward, slashing at each Ghoul that was in range of his blade while still holding Yuma to his chest. When 3 of the Ghouls tried to spear him, he spun around and spun Yuma out, holding her right hand in his left, causing the spear tips to pierce the air above their hands. Issei used his right leg to kick them upwards before pulling Yuma back to him, causing her to spin back into his chest. He used the momentum to spin himself around and slash at the Ghouls around him, unintentionally dipping Yuma as he leaned forward.

While the Ghouls were reeling from the attacks, Issei took the girl to a clearing where there happened to be a table with a chair. Setting a somewhat stunned Yuma down in the chair, Issei said, "Wait a bit please." before turning back to the Ghouls while holding his sword sideways in front of him. As the Ghouls tried to regain their footing, II said, "Sa, Finale", flipped open the Handauthor on his sword, C'mon Slash; Shake Hands!, and placed his left hand over the pulsing stone making it scan his Flame Ring, Flame Slash Strike! He then twirled it in his right hand as a red magic circle appeared at the base of the blade, Hii, Hii, Hii, Hii, Hii!, before taking a two-handed sword stance. In the meantime, flames had come out of the circle, licking the edge of the blade while encircling it and gathering together, increasing their intensity. Just when the Ghouls had managed to direct themselves towards him, Issei spun to the left while slashing the air, leaving behind a flaming horizontal line, and made an upward slash which also left a line in the air, forming a flaming cross which propelled itself at the Ghouls, slicing right through them. For a moment, there were a few sparks coming from their bodies before they combusted into an inferno while a red magic circle could be seen for a few seconds.

Letting out a soft, "Whoo", Issei's armor dissolved in a shower of gems before he turned around to face Yuma. Now, due to the situation earlier, he did not get a complete look at her; just enough to confirm her gender and estimate her age. With all the distractions out of the way, he got a good look at her and found himself blushing at her cute face and attractive body. Her choice of attire, a short black dress that was perfect for showing off her legs and a small light purple jacket on top that was just the right size to show off her figure and give a small opening to her cleavage, wasn't exactly helping. His blush deepened when he remembered how they practically danced away from the Ghouls, with her pushed into his chest. Even if it was for a short while and unintentional, it doesn't change that fact that that was what he did. Regaining his composure as fast as he could, with slight difficulty, he got Yuma's attention by clearing his throat and saying, "Hi there. This might be sudden, but we need to talk."

Moments Later…

At a random location, there was a certain food van. A bright pink food van known as Hungry Donuts 2. As the name implies, it was the second donut van with the name Hungry Donuts. The original had been destroyed in an incident in Tokyo about a year and a half ago. It even had the same staff from the original: the manager Kamimura, an effeminate man who frequently changed his hairstyle, and employee Ryu, an average Japanese man with black hair. There was, however, the addition of a Japanese female employee with short black hair by the name of Yu. She and the manager got along best, with the manager often commenting that she reminded him of his inner girl. Among the characteristics that were carried over from the days working the original food van was their constant innovation in creating new specialty donuts.

"Here it is!" Kamimura exclaimed presenting a plate with two donuts linked together like a chain. "Today's special, Donut of Bonds!" as he said this, Ryu and Yu held their arms out and linked them together in an attempt to imitate the donut itself.

"Whoa, that's practically getting 2 specials for the price of one. Nice idea." Issei commented, getting excited looks on the three workers.

"I know! So, won't you try some, Issei-chan?"

"Two plain sugars." was his response, getting the other 3 to have anime-like reactions, which was especially hilarious with Ryu and Yu still having their arms linked together. Issei chuckled as he paid for the food and took the tray, heading for the table where Yuma was sitting.

"You seem to be taking this well, Yuma-san." Issei commented as he set the tray down in front of her.

"Yeah I guess." She said with a small nervous laugh as she sipped her drink. "Let me make sure I got this right. I'm a Gate, a human with magic potential. Those creatures now were Ghouls who are summoned by something called a Phantom which is a monster born from a Gate who fell into despair and died as a result. They attacked me because they want me to fall into despair and turn into a Phantom. Did I get everything?"

"Pretty much." replied Issei before taking a bite out of his donut. "Delicious like always." he mumbled softly.

"And you're a wizard who fights against them?"

"Correct. That's why I'd like to stick with you for a while. That way, I can keep you safe and maybe figure out this Phantom's MO. I'm especially worried since only Ghouls showed up. Well, what do you say? Will you let me guard you for a bit?" Issei said smiling at that last sentence, which Yuma thought was kind of cute.

When Issei had finished talking, Raynare started thinking. 'This is crazy. I've never heard of creatures like these. Not to mention the whole Gate deal. Did they think that I'm a human Gate due to my Fallen Angel Powers? Then there's this kid. That power of his is definitely magic and not a sacred gear. Did we mess up, or does he still have a sacred gear in him?' She then took a longer look at Issei. To be honest, she thought he was good looking, for a human. He was definitely no pretty boy or heart throb, especially when compared to certain male fallen angels, but his physical appearance did have its own charm. Then there was his skill and power. She found it to be impressive for a human to be able to do what he did. Plus, though the impromptu tango in the middle of battle was a definite surprise, she actually found it to be quite thrilling and enjoyed it. 'Well,' she thought with a mental smirk, 'why not just continue the original plan with some slight changes.'

"Alright then. I guess it can't be helped." Yuma said.

"Glad to hear." Issei replied.

"But," Yuma interjected, "only on one condition."

"Condition?" At this point, Yu, Ryu, and Kamimura were eavesdropping on the conversation, their instincts telling them that something juicy was about to happen.

"For the rest of the day," she smiled while smirking on the inside, "you and I are on a date." Hearing this, Issei nearly spit out his soda. He managed to control himself and swallow it down.

The three donut makers, on the other hand, squealed of "DATE!" with their eyes shining like stars.

"You want to go on a date?! Now?! With me of all people?!" was Issei's response, when he finally managed to talk again, voice filled with surprise. Yuma could not stop herself from giggling.

"Let's just say that I have my reasons for asking this of you. Well, don't you like that thought of going on a date with me?" she said, pouting during the last sentence.

"It's not that at all!" Issei said, panic in his voice. "I'm just not sure now is the best time considering the danger you're in. Plus," he started to act embarrassed, his face blushing and voice becoming sheepish, "I've never been on a date before. Suddenly asking me out like this is…" That's when Yuma used…it. The secret weapon known to all female kind, effective against any male who dares look straight at it. The Puppy Dog Eyes. Combined with her already cute face, Issei's defenses were destroyed in less than a second. "Fine." He sighed before putting a smile on his face. "I'm yours for the rest of the day." At this, the donut staff began to cheer very loudly, causing Issei to blush even more.

"Then let's get started!" Yuma said, grabbing Issei's hand and pulling him away from the van and their food, laughing as he told her to slow down. As they ran off, Yu was pulling out her phone, squealing that she had to post what she just saw with Kamimura agreeing full heartedly. Ryu was the only one who noticed the unfinished donut Issei had left.

So, for the rest of the day, Issei and Yuma were on a date. Deciding to man up, Issei took Yuma to some stores where they had fun holding up the different articles of clothing against themselves while looking in the mirror. While they were there, Issei noticed a certain violet bracelet that resembled a scrunchie. On an impulse, he bought it and gave it to Yuma as a present. When asked why, he said, while blushing, that he thought it would be a good match for her eye color, especially with the current outfit she was wearing. Hearing that, Yuma graciously accepted the present and began wearing it throughout the rest of the date. Then, after realizing she had not actually eaten anything at the donut van, Issei took her to a family restaurant where he treated her to an ice cream sundae. Upon Yuma's insistence, the two of them ended up eating the sweet dessert together. Afterwards, they spent some time at the department store where Yuma dragged Issei to a photo booth where they took a series of pictures. During the last one, Yuma gave Issei a kiss on the cheek, causing him to blush more than he had ever blushed before.

During all this, though Issei was on guard, he was also enjoying himself. He would be lying if he said that he was not attracted to Yuma. Yuma even joked that he was using his secondary role as a body guard as an excuse to not leave her side, to which Issei had no response. He simply never imagined himself dating anyone like her in his life. Not only that, but it had been months since he had hung out with anyone his own age. So, despite his initial reluctance, he found the day to be a truly enjoyable one.

Later…

It was now sunset and the two found themselves at a park walking towards the water fountain that was in the middle. As they got closer and closer, Raynare was pondering her next move.

'He doesn't seem like an actual threat to me. The uniqueness of his magic was probably confused for a sacred gear. That doesn't change the fact that he is strong for a human. However, he might have connections to others like him. How else could he have learned everything he knows about those creatures and how to use his magic? He might even be with one of the other factions or an entirely different religion. Azazel-sama would never forgive me if a war was caused by my rash actions. Besides,' here she found herself looking closely at his face, 'he's not bad for a human. Considering the fact that it was his first date, he had no preparation, and he was obviously still worried about more attacks, it was pretty fun. I was actually smiling throughout it, no act at all. Guess that means I'm not going to kill him. I should probably take care of his memory before leaving though.' By the time she had decided on her course of action, they were right in front of the fountain.

"Looks like it's getting late." Issei commented. "Though there hasn't been any second attack, there is still a possibility that your home might be targeted. Let me at least walk you home and make sure it's safe. It's either that or you spend the night at my place."

"Ara Ara, it's only been one date and you're already this forward." Yuma giggled, causing Issei to blush.

"I'm just concerned that's all." Issei stuttered. "I'm not trying to take advantage of you. I swear."

"Relax, I was joking." Yuma said as she walked closer to the fountain and turned around to face Issei. "I appreciate the offer, but I think I can take care of myself."

"You don't understand. These Phantoms will go to any lengths to…" Issei tried to say until Yuma began shedding her clothing as two black wings shot from her back. In the process of transforming, she grew taller, taking on a more mature appearance and well-developed figure. Her eyes also changed, taking on a darker, more evil look. Getting a full view of the woman's seductive body in the nude caused Issei's jaw to drop as he blushed harder than he had all day long. In fact, he almost got a nose bleed. With her original clothing gone, black strap objects formed around and under her breasts with two of the straps covering her nipples, a thong-like thing hanging around her hips held by three thin straps, gloves with chains hanging from them formed and ran up to her arms, shoulder guard objects with three large spikes formed as well, and lastly, she adorned black thigh-high heel boots.

"Fact is, I'm not even human." Raynare said, her voice deeper and more seductive, as she sat on the edge of the fountain. "I'm a Fallen Angel."

"W…wow. Just…whoa." Issei responded in surprise.

"You're actually taking this better than expected." Raynare smirked. "Most humans would try to deny what they see, piss themselves, run away screaming, or any combination of those three."

"Well," Issei chuckled. "Considering the fact that Phantoms are monsters that use magic the fact that Fallen Angels are real makes sense."

"I suppose so." Raynare admitted.

"Besides," Issei smiled, "if Fallen Angels are real, then so are Angels, God, and Heaven itself. It's kind of reassuring to know that."

"I suppose it is for a human." Raynare chuckled. "To be honest, this is the first I've ever heard of Gates and Phantoms. Though, based on what you said, I wouldn't be surprised if they mistook me for one due to my Fallen Angel powers."

"I see. Guess that means I don't have to worry about your safety then." Issei laughed, bringing a slight smile to Raynare's face.

"You really are a strange one. To think I was originally planning to kill you." Seeing Issei's confused expression, she continued. "It wasn't going to be for anything personal. You became listed as a possible Sacred Gear holder, and thus a possible threat to us. Though from what I could tell today, we must have confused your magic for a Sacred Gear."

'Sacred what?' Issei thought. 'Could she mean Ddraig, the phantom dragon living inside me?'

"After considering the facts, I decided that letting you live would be the safest thing. Though I am going to have to erase your memory. That's just how things work, don't hold it against me."

After a pause of silence, Issei spoke. "So, guess I'm going back to never being on a date before." laughing at the end.

"Even if you don't remember, I will." Raynare said with a soft smile as she looked down at the bracelet on her wrist. Issei was surprised that it didn't get ripped up with the rest of her clothes.

"Well, that's reassuring to hear." Issei chuckled before smiling. "So long, Yuma-chan."

"So long, Issei-kun." she replied as she raised her hand in preparation for the spell.

However, someone else had other plans.

"Really Raynare? That's what you're going to do?" came a masculine voice from the trees. Turning their heads, they saw a tall man wearing an overcoat and a fedora hat standing at the edge of the tree line, just enough so that he could be seen.

"Dohnaseek." Raynare responded with slight surprise in her voice. "What are you doing here?"

Issei, in the meantime, was digesting the information he was being exposed to. 'So, her real name is Raynare. Then this Dohnaseek guy must be a Fallen Angel as well.'

"I could ask you the same thing." Dohnaseek said to Raynare. "The plan was to kill the boy. Yet here you are letting him live."

"There's more risk than benefit in killing him. It is best to just erase his memory and keep him under observation. I'll explain later." Raynare retorted as she got off the fountain.

"Don't bother." Dohnaseek said. "I always knew you were incompetent. In fact," he smirked as he said this, "Azazel himself had the same opinion of you."

"What are you talking about?" Raynare furiously exclaimed. At this, Issei got a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"Azazel knew you would make a mess of things. So, he gave me permission to take over and eliminate you. After all, he doesn't need any screw ups in his organization."

"You're lying!" Raynare protested vehemently. "Everything I have ever done has always been for the sake of Azazel!" Yet, even as she said this, there was fear in her eyes, something that Issei noticed causing his sense of worry to increase.

"Don't believe me? Then take a look at this." Dohnaseek pulled out of his coat a document. Though Issei and Raynare could not read the words on it due to the distance and the lighting, they could clearly see the glowing seal in the bottom right hand corner. Seeing that seal, Raynare's expression became one of shock, her body began to tremble and she fell to her knees.

"Raynare!" Issei called as he ran to her side. Meanwhile, Dohnaseek continued talking.

"This here is authorization from Azazel himself to dispose of you when you fail in your duties. The seal of the Grigori is proof of this. So, there is no way for you to deny this."

"Impossible." Raynare muttered fearfully as she tried to block the words the male Fallen Angel was saying.

"Face it Raynare, you've never been helpful and you never will. To Azazel, you are a bug that must be squashed."

At that last sentence, Raynare felt nothing but despair. All this time, she had devoted to herself to getting the approval of that one man. Now, she hears that she was really nothing more than a nuisance. She felt like her whole world was shattering, and something inside did indeed break like glass. As she fell on to her hands, purple cracks appeared on her arms.

"No way!" Issei exclaimed. "She really was a Gate!"

"Looks like all I need to do now is wait for despair to give birth to a new Phantom." Dohnaseek smirked, getting Issei's attention.

"What the hell are you?!" Issei demanded.

"I wouldn't worry about that right now if I were you, wizard." Dohnaseek said, shocking Issei, before revealing his own set of black wings and flying out of sight. At the same time, 15 Ghouls stepped out of the forest, all of them holding spears and ready to charge.

"I don't get what's going on here." Issei said as he got back on his feet. "But I do know what needs to be done now." Driver On; Please! He began to put on his left hand another transformation ring, this one a violet amethyst gem. "First, I need to get rid of you guys fast. Lightning fast." He pushed a lever, Shabadoobi Touch Henshin! Shabadoobi Touch Henshin! "Henshin" pushing the violet ring down his middle finger before placing his left hand over the WizarDriver. Volt; Please! Issei then held his left hand above him, causing a deep violet magic circle with sparks flying out of it to appear there. It then began to descend down on Issei, Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai! (Rai = Lightning), equipping Issei with the Wizard armor. This style was different from the others in that all the gems on the armor as well as the helmet (with the exception of the dark red trapezoidal gem on the forehead) were deep violet amethysts while the inside of the trench coat was the same violet color. Making his signature pose, with the body tilted at an angle and the left hand held up showing off the transformation ring, Wizard II said, "Sa, Showtime da."

As the Ghouls began their charge, Issei pushed the tails of the trench coat to the back, got in a fighting stance, and began charging his limbs with magical energy, going, "Haaa…" as he did so. When the first Ghoul that got close to him tried to spear him, he ducked down, avoiding the attack, and struck back with an uppercut to the chin. "1" yelled Issei as the attack connected. At the same time, purple sparks travelled from his fist to the spot where he hit the Ghoul. Using his leg as a pivot, Issei spun around and kicked the second Ghoul. "2". He then flung his arms backwards, backhanding two more Ghouls that tried to get him from behind. "3,4". Jumping over the ones he had knocked down, Issei landed on his hands and spun on them, kicking his legs out looking like a helicopter, knocking down 3 unharmed Ghouls. "5,6,7". When his spin was complete, he flipped back onto his feet. He then ran towards the remaining Ghouls, kneeing one in the stomach when he was close enough, "8", tossing it to the side and delivering a punch with his right to another nearby one. "9". When 2 more tried to get close, Issei punched both of them in the gut, "10,11", before grabbing them by the neck and throwing them to the side. He then jumped and spun in the air, kicking 2 more Ghouls in the head before landing. "12,13". When the last two Ghouls tried to spear him, Wizard dodged by jumping to the side. Grabbing one of them, he pulled it towards him, bringing the wielder closer and kicking it in the chest, "14", making it fly into his comrade who stumbled as a result, giving Issei an opening to rush in close and clothesline it, "15!"

Putting some distance between him and the Ghouls, Issei placed himself in front of Raynare once more. The Ghouls had already begun to get back to their feet and were spreading themselves out. Wizard, in the meantime, began switching out the rings on his right hand.

"The circuit is complete," he said as he flipped a lever on the WizarDriver and scanned his right-hand ring, Connect; Please!, and pulled his gun out of the magic circle. "So, it's time for an exclusive Issei original Finale." Flipping open the Handauthor, C'mon Shooting; Shake Hands! C'mon Shooting; Shake Hands!, and scanning the Volt ring on his left hand on the reader. Volt, Shooting Strike! This time, not only did a violet magic circle form at the muzzle of the gun charging up electric energy, Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai!, but smaller versions of the circle also appeared on the bodies of the Ghouls, each one at the exact spot where Wizard II hit them, each with a number corresponding to the order they had been struck. When the Ghouls tried to move, a thin line of electricity formed between the markers, connecting them in numerical order and paralyzing them. Aiming the gun at Ghoul number 1, Issei pulled the trigger releasing the charged-up power. When the fired energy hit, the Ghoul's body was surrounded by streaming currents of electricity. However, the attack did not stop there. In fact it travelled along the line connecting the Ghouls, affecting each one in the same way as the surge passed through them. When the energy reached number 15, all of them were receiving a very thorough shock treatment. This continued for a second before, at the same time, they all combusted in a violet explosion that caused a large violet magic circle to appear in the air for a few seconds.

Quickly switching styles (Flame; Please! Hii, Hii, Hii, Hii, Hii!) Issei turned around calling "Raynare!" as he ran towards her. Kneeling down next to her, he grabbed an Engage ring while saying, "Just hang on. I'll take care of this."

"Why bother?" Raynare responded as her skin continued to crack. "I've done so much for his sake. Yet, I was so easily thrown away like trash." Her voice started to tear up. "All I ever hoped for was to be acknowledged by him; to have him compliment me, even if it was just once. Compared to other Fallen Angels, it's a pathetic desire." At this point, tears began to spill from her eyes. "Yet I couldn't even do that. I really am worthless. Even if you do save me, there would be no point. I'm as good as dead anyway."

"Don't say that!" Issei exclaimed, grabbing Raynare's shoulders and making her face him as he did so. He knew that he had to hurry and save her, that talking could wait till later. Even so, he continued to talk, for he felt that there was no point in saving her if she would still be in despair afterwards. "It's not pathetic at all! There's nothing wrong with wanting to get acknowledgement from someone you look up to. Everyone wants to be accepted by someone, even those who say they don't. No one can live without the acceptance of others whether it comes from family members, lovers, friends or even random strangers. If anything, your desire, your hope, is a pure one!" Raynare's teary face had an expression of shock on it. "Maybe you are not being recognized for your efforts now. So what! You just have to work even harder to show them that they were wrong about you, that you're not the screw up they claim you are."

"But where would I go?" Raynare sobbed. "Even if I live, I can't go back. No one would accept me so long as I'm branded as trash."

"I'll always accept you!" Issei passionately shouted shocking Raynare. "No matter what you do, I'd never abandon you! I'd never think you're trash! If you need someplace to go back to, you can come with me!" As Raynare let the words sink in, her tears stopped. "Let me help you become strong, become someone who cannot be ignored, who others will have no choice but to acknowledge! Let me keep your hope alive and make it a reality!" Hearing that final declaration, Raynare felt desire; the desire to be with Issei and make her dream come true.

"Geez," she said with a soft smile, raising her right hand and extending it towards Issei. "It's only the first date, and I'm already moving in with you."

"We can take care of the details and your stuff after I deal with this." Issei chuckled as he slid the Engage ring on to Raynare's finger before taking her hand and guiding it to his belt. Engage; Please! As Raynare slumped against the fountain, the red magic circle formed above her hand which he floated into before the circle vanished. Once again, he went through a series of red magic circles in a purple hole. Coming out of the final circle, Wizard II was a bit confused by the Underworld he was in. "Where is this Underworld supposed reflect?" he wondered out loud as he looked around the giant lab like room he found himself in. His eyes caught sight of what looked like a younger version of Raynare hiding behind a table sneaking glances at a man who was too far away for Issei to get a good look at. All he could distinguish about him was the 12 black wings coming from his back. Then, a huge purple crack appeared over the younger Raynare, stopping the memory as it expanded. Within seconds, a giant harpy like creature burst forth from the crack and began to rampage, creating more purple cracks at random spots, and busted out of the building. Giving chase, Issei switched the rings on his right hand.

"I promised Raynare I would keep her hope alive, and that's just what I intend to do!"

Ddraig Rise! Please!

Once again, a huge flaming magic circle appeared above Issei, soon followed by the cyborg like Red-Welsh Dragon. As Issei switched rings again, Ddraig took off, chasing the harpy Phantom. It wasn't long before he began launching powerful fireballs from his jaws. Dodging them, the harpy created balls of energy in its hands and flung them towards the dragon. While the two tried to hit each other with their attacks Issei summoned his Machinwinger (Connect; Please!) and drove towards the battle as fast as possible.

"Ddraig!" Issei called out as he approached a bridge, grabbing the attention of the dragon. In response to the verbal summons, Ddraig flew towards the bridge, passing under it. The moment his head came out on the other side, Issei drove his bike off the bridge causing it to unfold into the set of wings that clamped itself on top of Ddraig's own wings. Using the handlebars of the motorcycle, Wizard II guided Ddraig back to the harpy. This time, they moved so fast the harpy had no chance to dodge. Caught in the powerful grip of the dragon, it tried to break free by charging a bolt of energy in its hands. "Like we'd let that happen!" Issei declared as he directed Ddraig downwards, smashing the Phantom into the ground causing the attack to dissipate. While pinning the harpy down with its claw, Ddraig sank his jaws into one of the Phantom's wings and tore it off, eliciting a scream of pain that the dragon seemed to take satisfaction in. Issei then pulled up, bringing him and Ddraig back into the air.

Flipping a lever on the WizarDriver, Lupachi Magic Touch Go! Lupachi Magic Touch Go!, Issei placed the Kick Strike ring on his right hand as he said, "Sa, Finale!" before scanning it on the belt, Very Nice; Kick Strike! Awesome! He then jumped off Ddraig as the motorcycle also flew off, allowing the dragon the straighten his head with his neck, hold up his arms in V shape as they folded in on themselves followed by the lower body folding creating the giant dragon claw of the Strike Phase. The Machinwinger, now back in its motorcycle form, slotted itself into the Strike Phase. As they accelerated downwards, Issei kicked into the Strike Phase with his right leg. Once again, a projection of Wizard kicking down with a flaming dragon claw appeared. The Phantom tried to move out of the way, but was unable to due to having only one wing and was hit with force equaling a blazing meteorite resulting in its annihilation. Issei jumped off as Ddraig unfolded and roared in victory. Talking a moment to look at his partner, Issei let out a soft, "Whoo."

In the real world, a magic circle appeared over Raynare's hand. Wizard II drove out of it, quickly getting off to check on the girl, his armor dissolving as he approached her. After giving her a quick once over, Issei let out a sigh of relief before he heard Raynare mutter something. Leaning in, he heard her sleep talk, "Don't forget to take responsibility for me." Hearing this, Issei could not stop himself from blushing. 'The way she says it, it's almost as if I did something else to her.' He chuckled to himself before sitting next to her and leaning his back against the fountain. That was when he felt the fatigue kick in, causing him to do a mental self-assessment.

'One small battle in the morning, one just now. For both of them, I used a finishing move. I could have taken my time and dealt with the Ghouls normally, but there were too many and not enough time, especially with Raynare falling into despair. Then I went into her Underworld and destroyed her Inner Phantom. Add all that to the fact that I haven't been at this too long, I don't have too much mana. Sensei said my reserves would grow larger with time and experience, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem in the future. However,' here his expression became serious as he continued to pant. 'I'm more worried about that Dohnaseek guy. He definitely knows about Phantoms, Gates, and my identity as a wizard. Raynare said she never heard of these things before. Not only that, he was prepared to drive Raynare into despair and even had Ghouls ready to keep me busy, meaning he knew that Raynare was a Gate. How is that possible? Does he have contact with a Phantom who has the ability to identify Gates like that Medusa I heard about? Just what is going on?'

At that moment, out of the corner of his eye, Issei saw a speck of light come out of the cover of the trees and zoom towards him. He tried to move, but the fatigue slowed his body down and he was unable to avoid being pierced by a spear made entirely of light. Coughing up blood, he tried to grab the weapon, only for it to disappear before he could even touch it. Fighting against the darkness that threatened to consume him, he tried to catch a glimpse of his attacker, but his sight was already too weak. As his hands fell to his side, Issei's mind was whirling.

'So, this is how it ends? I survive the pit of despair by pulling myself up with hope, only to die at the ends of some other unknown enemy? I barely managed to save two people. There are still things I need to do. I need to stop the Phantoms from ruining the lives of the Gates and their loved ones in their pursuit to expand their forces. I still haven't become someone my parents could be proud of. I'm still not proper big brother material.' As he lost more and more strength, his thoughts became more disorganized. 'Dying like this, when there's no one left to learn of my fate or cry for me? What would sensei say if he saw this? What would she say?' Once again, his thoughts turned to Rias Gremory. At this, the magic circle on the forgotten flyer in Issei's pocket began to glow, filling up with crimson energy. 'I refuse to die like this! I absolutely refuse to let myself fall to death!' Suddenly, the flyer flew out of Issei's pocket and landed on the ground a yard or so in front of him. Then, a large crimson version of the magic circle appeared above it and out came…her. Rias Gremory, looking much healthier than the last time the two had met. Opening her eyes, she was shocked to see who had summoned her and the condition he was in.

"Oh my goodness!" Rias exclaimed as she ran to Issei and knelt next to him. "You were attack by a Fallen Angel?!" Barely registering her words, Issei struggled to raise his arm. At this, Rias pulled out a red object and showed it to Issei, revealing it to be a red pawn. "I can save you, but at a cost. You would become stronger than before, but would lose your humanity." At this, a set of bat like wings sprouted from her back. "Knowing that, will you still accept another chance at life?" In response to her question, Issei mustered the last of his strength and grabbed the hand that was holding the pawn, barely nodding as he did so. "Very well." Rias said, her expression becoming one of resolve. "From now on, you will live for my sake." At that, Issei's sight finally went black.

Next Morning…

The birds were chirping and the sun was shining through the window, much to the annoyance of a certain sleeping teenage boy. Unable to ignore the beams of light that landed on his face, Issei found himself waking up in his bed.

"Man," he said groggily. "That was some dream." Lifting his body into a sitting position while stretching his arms, Issei slowly to become more aware of his environment. "Why am I naked? I don't sleep commando." As he scratched his head with his left hand in confusion, his right hand fell to his side and landed on something soft. Realizing it was too fleshy and elastic to be a pillow, Issei gave an experimental squeeze only to hear an unexpected feminine moan in response. Slowly turning his head, Issei was greatly shocked to find sleeping next to him Raynare who was also naked, with his hand on her large uncovered breast. As the situation hit his brain like a bullet, Issei began blushing in shock and embarrassment. When he accidentally applied more pressure with his right hand, producing another soft erotic moan from Raynare, Issei hastily removed his hand. In his haste, his left hand fell to his side once again landing on something soft and tender and producing another feminine moan. Realizing what this meant, Issei spun his head to the left to see Rias Gremory sleeping, also lacking any clothing. At this point, Issei's mouth was open so wide a bird could have made a nest there while blood was flowing from his nose without restraint.

Two females, both he had saved from falling into despair, one his high school crush and the school's number one idol, the other his first date and a fallen angel, both with drop dead gorgeous bodies, completely nude, were sleeping next to him. He was also naked and he had touched both of their breasts. Issei could say only one thing.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!"

Well, hope you enjoyed chapter 2. Here, I introduced a style that is unique to Issei, Volt style which utilizes the element of Lightning. I have always been a believer in the existence of 5 basic elements: fire, water, earth, lightning, and wind. This should be no surprise to those who have read my profile. If you dislike this customization of mine, I apologize, but I simply could not continue this version of the story without including this. If I had Issei replace Haruto instead, combining the plot lines of DxD and Wizard, I would not have done that. To help you readers get a better image and understanding, allow me to explain.

The ring for Volt style is a violet amethyst transformation ring that is cut in such a way that it is shaped like a standard kite. As such, the colored parts of the armor are dark violet. While its attacking power is slightly weaker than Hurricane, this style has much greater speed for sprints and comes right behind Hurricane in terms of maximum jumping height. However, for actual aerial dogfights, Hurricane is the only choice because Volt does not allow Issei to stay in the air. However, by concentrating his energy to his feet, Issei can run up walls and ceilings and even on water, though only for a brief time so long battles on walls are not possible nor can he just run up the side of a tall building all the way to the roof. Another unique stat of Volt is accuracy. In this style, Issei has a higher accuracy rate and can also land attacks at the weak points of his enemies with greater success, meaning a higher rate of doing critical damage. Not only that, the attacks can also inflict weaker opponents with a minor case of paralysis. For stronger opponents he would have to concentrate and channel his magical energy into his strikes. A special feature of Volt style is the ability to improve the performance/affect objects that use electricity. For example, when Issei rides his Machinwinger while in Volt style, he can direct electricity into it and make it go even faster than normal for a short time. Looking at it another way, he could also interfere with electrical objects like say a bus that has been hijacked by a Phantom (reference to KR Wizard episode 24) and force it to stop. Now to address the way Issei finished off the Ghouls in this chapter. I already mentioned how he can cause paralysis by concentrating his magical energy into his attacks. As demonstrated here, he can also use it to mark his enemies to set up for a finisher. Each time he hit a Ghoul, Issei's magic left a marker on the place where his hit landed. Then, when he started up his Volt Shooting Strike, the markers activated and connected to each other in the order that the attacks were made. At the same time, it created a region that was oppositely charged to the energy building up in the gun. This way, as long as Issei aimed in the general direction of the first Ghouls, the attack would instantly be attracted to the marker causing the attack to home in on the target. Then, the energy of the attack flowed along the connection to the other markers thus hitting the other opponents before discharging the pent-up energy and destroying them simultaneously. To sum it up, as long as Issei has completed the set-up, not only will his shot be 100% accurate, but it can take down multiple foes with just one shot. The Volt Slash Strike will be different while having its own unique features which I will expand upon after Issei uses it.
