A spaceship flying through the cold emptiness of outer space came across a moon but before it got within range of its gravity a single fighter craft left the ship and flew towards a blue planet. It flew into the atmosphere and descended towards the Japanese archipelago before slowed down and then stopped in the sea. Its cockpit popped open to allow a winged figure to emerge from it. The fighter craft then sank below the water as the winged figure flew towards land during sunset. The figure landed on top of a rocky cliff and rested for a few minutes.
The figure wore silver armor and had red eyes. Its head was encased in a helmet similar to the armor that it wore and on its back were a pair of wings. One wing was black while the other wing was a bright red. It then took off and flew inland, not bothering to stop until it reached a small town. The figure landed in a small children's park, where a group of three boys with black hair were harassing a boy with brown hair.
The black-haired boys stopped harassing the brown-haired one to look at the new arrival. One of them then asked, "Who are you?"
The figure remained silent, which angered the boy who had asked the question. "I ask this again, who are you!?" the boy snarled.
One of the other black-haired boys then said, "Uh, Yamada Taro... I don't think the silver thing will answer you if you get angry at it."
Makoto then punched the boy who said that in the stomach before shouting, "That is not what I wanted to hear from you, Itou Makoto!"
A third black-haired boy who wore glasses then started, "Yamada-san, you do realize-" before being cut off by Taro shouting, "-that I don't want to hear you speak either, Motohama! The only thing that I want to hear talking is the silver thing!"
The figure in silver armor suddenly brought out a double-ended spear before it spoke in an unfamiliar language, "You have declared yourself my enemy. I shall respond in kind and kill you." It then stabbed Taro with its spear and pulled it out before decapitating him with a slash and then kicked the headless corpse away from it. The other two boys, who were terrified at what they had just saw happen, immediately ran away.
The figure then did some tinkering around as it heard the brown-haired boy speak to him in a terrified voice that sounded foreign. The figure then said in its own tongue, "Translator Language Settings." which brought up a menu of various languages. Chozo and English were amongst the various options as were Alimbic, Luminoth, and Space Pirate, but those five languages were not matching what the boy was saying. It took a few more moments looking through languages before it came across 'Japanese' and selected it. The translator turned on and the boy's speech was able to be understood.
"Please don't hurt me." the brown-haired boy pleaded to the figure.
The figure simply put an armored hand on the boy's head and replied, "Do not be alarmed. I am not here to harass you like the black-headed ones. What is your name, little one?"
"Hyoudou. Issei Hyoudou." the brown-haired boy answered.
The figure then spoke, "I am Crimson Wing, a Chozo of the Mawkin. As you might have already figured out, I am not human. However, why were the black-headed ones harassing you?"
"They called me a freak, all because I could create pointy things from nothing." Issei stated before he suddenly made a small steel spear appear in his hands.
Crimson Wing thought for a few moments before it then asked, "Do you desire strength? Do you wish to not be harassed by others for your ability?"
Issei thought about it and then said, "...yes."
"Then I shall take you in as my protegé. While I cannot directly help you with your ability, I can train you in the ways of the spear. Now we must be away from this place."
Crimson Wing quickly grabbed Issei and then flew away from the children's park, just in time for several police officers to arrive and notice them flying away.
The Dread
Eleven years later, Kuoh Academy, Lunchtime...
Issei Hyoudou, now a seventeen-year-old young man and second-year student at Kuoh Academy, was resting in the shade of a tree, being careful to not show his wings. On his seventh birthday, Issei had been infused with some of Crimson Wing's blood, which while painful had made him part-Chozo. Crimson Wing had also started training him as a warrior then, so Issei was now capable of running and jumping heights far past normal human ability, as well as surviving falls that would otherwise kill an ordinary human. As a result of all this, Issei has a relatively muscular build underneath his Kuoh Academy uniform, which consisted of a black blazer with white accents over a white, long-sleeved, button-down shirt with vertical linings, a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes.
He suddenly heard shouting along with the sounds of stamping feet and opened his eyes before sitting up and then suddenly jumping to a high branch of the tree. He then looked down. Motohama was running towards him along with a bald guy and they were being chased by several girls wearing Kendo uniforms of gi and hakama.
One of the girls, a pretty one with pink hair, shouted, "Get down here, Issei! You, Matsuda, and Motohama are a real menace!"
"I think not, Katase. While those two idiots regularly do perverted things, I merely spend time with them. I suppose that it can't helped then that because of it, I was labeled as the 'Pervert by Association' while Motohama was labeled 'Perverted Glasses' and Matsuda 'Perverted Baldy'. But what can you really expect when nobody other than them wants anything to do with me?" Issei coldly replied.
"Do you really not get it, you damn rapist!? You-" Katase began to rant but was then interrupted by Issei jumping down and holding Katase in the air by her neck with his left hand, making her drop her shinai.
"Do you honestly believe that it's a smart idea for you to try calling me that to my face, Katase? Especially when you should know by now that I absolutely despise rapists?" Issei asked.
Katase shook her head sideways, which then prompted Issei to let her go. She fell onto her butt and rubbed it with one hand while the other massaged her neck as she heard Issei speak as he pointed to Matsuda and Motohama, "Never call me a rapist again. This is your only warning. Deal with those two idiots as you see fit and then trouble me no more."
Issei then jumped back up onto the tree branch and watched as Katase picked up her shinai and started beating on Matsuda and Motohama along with the other girls for a few minutes. The girls then left to return to their training while Matsuda and Motohama groaned in pain from the beatdown that they got. After that, things were a blur for him until classes ended for the day, at which point he left the building and made it to the gate before he heard someone say, "Where do you think you're going, Hyoudou?"
Issei's voice was filled with irritation as he replied, "I have no time to mess around with you, Itou Makoto." as he continued to walk.
As Issei walked away, Makoto was silent but inside he was fuming. Ever since middle school, Makoto had spread a false rumor about Issei being a rapist that had spread throughout Kuoh Town. The police even got involved and things went as far as a trial but that was where everything did not go as planned for Makoto. Makoto had bribed the prosecution and witnesses to stack the deck in his favor there so that Issei would be convicted and hauled off to prison, but the armored figure from that day in the park all those years ago ruined things by becoming Issei's attorney and was able to persuade the judge into handing down a Not Guilty verdict through tearing apart the testimonies of the witnesses and exposing the lies within. Just about the only thing that he got out of it was that the figure was known as Crimson Wing.
Makoto was brought out of his reminiscence by hearing someone clear their throat and looked around to see the President of the Student Council Sona Shitori looking at him with her arms crossed below her small bustline as was her Vice President, Tsubaki Shinra.
"It seems that you're still trying to provoke Hyoudou-san into trying to fight you so that he would get in trouble, Itou." Sona stated.
"How is it that he's able to ignore the rumors about him so easily?! That damn rapist can't be human! No normal person can ignore such rumors for as long as he has!" Makoto ranted.
Tsubaki sighed before replying, "And that insistence without offering any conclusive evidence of Hyoudou-san being a rapist is why Sona and I have constantly refused to let you join the Student Council. Leave now and do not waste our time trying to sweet talk your way onto the Council."
Meanwhile with Issei, he was in the woods near the eastern edge of the town. He looked around and saw that nobody else was around and then jumped to his left, dodging a wooden spear that had been thrown by Crimson Wing.
"Typically you only narrowly dodge that spear, Issei. Something must have irritated you and forced your Mawkin blood to wake up earlier than usual. Do tell me of what happened earlier today." Crimson Wing stated.
Issei then told him of both the incident at lunch and the short confrontation with Makoto. Crimson Wing then spoke, "Itou Makoto is really making himself a pain in the ass for you. We will have to get rid of him. My own observations indicate that he has the ability to hypnotize other people around him, but there are those who are not affected. The members of the Student Council at your school, for example, are immune to his hypnosis as are the members of the Occult Research Club. You are also immune to his hypnosis, but it is a moot point since he clearly sees you as an obstacle or enemy to remove instead of a rival."
Issei then saw a black feather float down in the corner of his left eye and suddenly jumped. A blue spear made out of light then hit the ground where Issei had been standing, prompting Issei to swear before he created a steel spear and threw it into the trees. The sound of metal piercing flesh was heard and then followed up by cursing before a middle aged man in a pale gray trench coat over a white dress shirt with a matching ascot, black pants and shoes, a pair of black gloves, and a black fedora fell to the ground from the trees. Crimson Wing then moved and in an instant was right in front of the man and pointing another steel spear at him.
"Speak now! Who are you and what the hell were you trying to do here!?" Crimson Wing coldly spoke as he revealed his wings.
The man replied with fear in his voice, "I am Dohnaseek, a Fallen Angel. I was bored and looking for something to fight and thought that you and the boy could be a good challenge."
Crimson Wing looked into Dohnaseek's eyes for a few seconds and then said, "You are not lying to us. But as you might have suspected when I got to you in an instant, I am something that you cannot defeat in a straight fight."
"But what are you then? You have a red wing along with a black wing and no Fallen Angel that I have ever meet has a red wing with a black wing."
Crimson Wing chuckled and then said, "I am no Fallen Angel. I am a being from the very stars, a Chozo. I happen to be from the Mawkin Tribe, a group of Chozo who refused to abandon the warrior traditions while most other Chozo became peaceful explorers and scientists. My protegé Issei seems like an ordinary human, but I infused him with some of my blood some years ago, making him part-Chozo."
"The Chozo blood within me along with Crimson Wing's training has made me tougher than a normal human that is around my age." Issei spoke.
"Very well then. Perhaps I can spar with you some other day. I should be getting back to my base soon. You two mentioned a guy known as Makoto Itou, but do not worry. My boss, a female Fallen Angel known as Raynare, is planning to pull a fake date on him and then kill him once it has ended. He has something within him, something far more threatening than mere hypnosis." Dohnaseek stated.
"It is probably something stronger than Issei's gift, which we have called Spear Birth. It alllows him to create spears of many different attributes such as fire, ice, electricity, wind, and so on." Crimson Wing remarked.
"It does have weaknesses though. I cannot create spears with light or Holy power as attributes, the strength and durability of the spears created also depends on my concentration, and the spears that I create generally cannot rival genuine demon spears." Issei added.
"Maybe the two of you can tag along with me. I plan to shadow Raynare on her fake date in case things don't go as planned." Dohnaseek spoke.
"That is a decent idea, but Itou knows who I am." Crimson Wing said.
"I'm all for it. It's not like he could drag my reputation through the mud any more than he already has." Issei stated.
Omake: Aftermath of killing an Anime Lover
The acrid smell of burning flesh surrounded Issei, but he felt nothing. A dead body that used to be a brown-haired man wearing a brown trench coat, a white shirt with a red tie, khaki pants, and a fedora on his head was nearby but not on fire, and the cause of death was obvious: the man had been speared through the heart. Crimson Wing then arrived and said, "It looks like you managed to kill this idiot who called himself an Anime Lover. I already managed to kill a few more imbeciles."
Crimson Wing then pulled a piece of paper from out of nowhere, and it had several names on it and many were crossed out. "YuriCunt220, LanceShitin, Merciless Fag, The20thOverlard, and TwistedBitch20XX have all been eliminated. I personally ripped YuriCunt220 to pieces. Now we can cross out Doctor Anime Fool 2938448." Crimson Wing stated.
"Why are we even killing them?" Issei asked.
"I'll just say that they have wronged you in some manner within pieces of garbage that they wrote and leave it at that." Crimson Wing answered before flying off. Issei then revealed his wings before flying off after him.
