Hey guys, Kurama here back with another of Dark Dragon DxD and I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I do.

"Talk," someone says

"Dragon or Talk/thought/spells/ Attacks!" Someone says.

'Thoughts,' Someone says

Summary: Akeno and the others have moved Issei to the main room so he can be revived as a devil but something shocking happens during the procedure.

Let's begin!


(Previously on Dark dragon DxD)

Within a minute, the four of them stand before the sealed room and Issei starts screaming in pain and agony once more but this time, his eyes, his ears and nose are bleeding as if he's going to die out of blood loss.

"Quick, we need to get him inside! Maybe that'll stop the pain."Akeno shouts as she tries to use healing magic but it doesn't work as the hybrid coughs up a lot of blood and it ends up on the ground, scaring Gasper more than usual, almost as if he's afraid of blood.

"Or that could end up killing him! We need to get him out of here and send him straight to Azazel-sama! Maybe he could help us do something we haven't thought of!"Raynare shouts at Akeno while Issei crawls to the room without the two fallen girls noticing.

Gasper opens the door and runs off to see Rias and the three others.

"Wait, where's Issei? He was right there a minute ago."Akeno says as she begins to look for the boy only for the two to look at the door and see it's open.

"Damn it! Gasper must've let him inside. We need to go in!"Akeno says as she and Raynare both go inside the door.

However, they both start crying their hearts out.

Why? Because Issei Hyoudou...has died while touching the sword.


(Now: A few minutes later)

Issei's body has been moved to the ORC main room where Rias had her meetings with Sona or her peerage and both Akeno and Raynare haven't moved from their seats.

They were both waiting for Issei to wake up so they could see what happened to his mind when he touched the sword.

Gasper is sitting in a corner as he looks in fear at Issei's dead body, blaming himself for the boy's death.

The looks of anger from Akeno and Raynare didn't help much either.

'There has to be a way to save Issei-san. Wait, that's it! I'll reincarnate him into a devil. That way, everybody wins. Issei gets to live, Akeno and Yuuma-san will have their friend back and I get a new piece. I am a genius.'Rias thought to herself as a smile is now seen on her face.

She quickly springs her plan into action.

"Koneko, go and get my evil pieces! This plan should work but we need to hurry, while his death is still fresh."Rias tells Koneko, who runs to another then grabs the chess pieces and comes back to give them to Rias, who gives the nekoshou a small smile.

"Thank you, Koneko. Let's hope it can help."Rias says as she gets closer to Issei but is then stopped by Raynare, who summons a light spear.

"Let's get something clear. I am not letting you turn Issei into a devil. He's already gone through enough and did you even consider his feelings before doing this?"Raynare asks Rias, who looks at Issei and steels herself by unleashing her aura of destruction.

"I'm doing whatever I can to revive him and if you prefer staring at his dead body, then I guess you don't really care about him, now do you?" Rias tells her then Raynare drops her light spear in shock, which gives Rias enough time to use all eight of her pawn pieces.

She dumps them all at the same time then a strong dark aura releases itself from Issei's body, circling his body and the sword before transforming into a pitch-black monster with two horns, a black hole on the center of his chest and crimson hair as the aura screams in pure glee at the chance of being free.

Rias's pawn pieces eject themselves out of Issei's body as the aura goes back into the dead boy's body, which confuses everyone, including Raynare, who has seen the Vasto Lorde-like monster appear out of nowhere.

Akeno leans in to listen to Issei's heart then the miracle happens, one beat then two beats and so on until Issei's heartbeat goes back to normal.

He would live! Issei's alive and that was good and all, so why wasn't he waking up?

'Issei, wake up. Please, wake up for me! I don't want you to leave me! I want to stay here and laugh with you, I want to hold your hand, I want to cry with you when you're feeling sad and I want to fight alongside you. This feeling... what is it? Why do I feel like this? I just want to see my friend awake from his slumber, that's all.' Akeno thought to herself as she looks at Issei, who grips the sword then tighten his hold over it.

The question is...what are you dreaming about, Issei Hyoudou?


(Issei's mindscape: After the aura manifested itself)

"Ugh, where the fuck am I?! Oh great, Did Shemhazai revive me or something like that? I was perfectly fine where I was. I would be saying that if I can remember where I was before being transported here. It's probably nothing. Let's get back to Akeno-chan and the others."Issei says to himself before being punched in the face by a mysterious shadow.

"Sometimes, it disgusts me how you are my other half but it doesn't matter how I feel about you. What does matter is that we get revenge on Shemhazai and that other FUCKING bastard!"The shadow screams as he begins punching the ground, creating earthquakes throughout the mindscape.

Issei stands up then activates his sacred gears, ready for a fight and the shadow reveals itself to be the Vasto Lorde monster from before.

"Who or what the fuck are you? And no games, otherwise, I'm gonna rip your skull open and throw it all the way to the underworld! Now, start talking!"Issei says as he starts getting angry about being punched in the face by this thing.

"Have you ever felt like you couldn't stay angry for long like no matter what happens in your shitty life, you just couldn't stay angry? I'm the reason for that, you see, I'm the cardinal sin of wrath in all its glory. I haven't properly introduced myself. My name is Astaros, one of the generals of Anos Voldigoad's army before he was reincarnated into a human being. Nice to meet you!"Astaros says as he grips the same sword that Issei took before dying, making the boy look at the general in shock.

Astaros steps out of the shadows then he reveals his face and it looks exactly like Issei's except his eyes are fully red.

"I'm gonna crush you and leave this shithole. You won't stop me from achieving my vengeance, that's a promise!"Issei vows as he activates the power of his sacred gears and goes into a stance, ready for the fight that's about to begin.


Preview: Issei and Astaros begin their fight but Astaros proves to be a formidable foe but still, our hero doesn't give up and discovers something that might help him in the long run. Meanwhile, Rias still wonders why her evil pieces didn't work comes to a shocking realization.

Next time on Dark Dragon DxD: A shocking discovery! Issei's road to the darkness!


END!

Hey guys, Kurama here and I hope you enjoy that chapter as much as I did. I kind of struggled with how I wanted that chapter to go but in the end, I think I did a good job.

I started watching One Piece and I'm already at episode 630 and RWBY volume 5 as well so that's kind of why I didn't upload the new chapter.

Read, Review, Favourite and Follow!

KURAMA OUT!
