"Asia, can you try and heal him again, we might have injured him more than we had realised. Koneko could you try your senjutsu, that may help in healing him" Rias stated as moved aside as Asia and Koneko nodded in agreement and walked over to Issei and attempted to heal him but their was no signs that he was responding.

"Issei... Your going to be okay..."Rias whispered as she moved to Issei's right hand side, only for a blur of motion to catch her off guard, as Issei's armoured hand moved at superhuman speed, grabbing Rias by the throat and started to apply pressure on her slender neck. Issei's gaze moved to look at Rias allowing Rias and the rest of the peerage to catch a glimpse of his glowing purples eyes.

"Let her go Issei, It is Rias!" Akeno yelled as she tried desperately to break Issei's grip.

"Issei, you need o let go or you'll kill her!" Kiba yelled as he drew his Holy Devil sword and using as much force as he could he swung the sword directly at Issei's outstretch right arm and landing a mighty blow, but it wasn't enough,

"Issei...let me go" Rias gasped

"Enough of this!" Xenovia, screamed as she summoned Durandal, and using all her might she brought the blade down on Issei's arm and luckily she managed to land with enough force to force Issei's grip to fail, freeing Rias from his grasp, Rias coughed and rubbed her throat once she had been released.

Once Rias was freed, Issei rose from the ground and stood stock sill, staring down the peerage, who had rushed to guard Rias. As this was going on Issei was still fighting to break free from the magical bonds that had enveloped his soul, all the while he had seen what the being in control had done to those he cared for.

"You better let me out of this, or I'm going to beat your ass till you're a bloody pulp" Issei hissed as he strained again the his bonds only for his struggling to stop once he heard the being laugh, I t was a hearty laugh, and was clearly the laugh of a woman.

"Hahahaha...oh Issei, you seriously think you can kick my ass in your current state... don't kind yourself."

"Why are you doing this... I don't even know who you are or why you stole my body from me!?" Issei yelled, scanning his surroundings to see who was doing this, but no one appeared.

"Oh, come now... of course you know who I am... you just don't want to go back to that time because it hurts to much...The reason I'm doing this is because you and your red headed bitch took everything from me, and now it time for some revenge, and what's a better way to do it than by using the body of the man she loves, and making you watch as I tear her apart" The voice changed from a soft sultry voice used for seduction, to one filled with hate and venom.

"No I wont let you...Ddraig!" Issei yelled for help only for no response to come.

Meanwhile back in the gymnasium

"What do we do...Issei's lost his mind!" Koneko yelled as she looked to Rias.

"That's no Issei, look at the eyes on his armour, their purple...he hasn't lost his mind, he's under some kind of curse or illusion." Rias stated as she watched Issei waiting for an sudden moves.

"Who could have done this? Could it be that the Hero Faction are involve in this?" Asia whimpered.

"Unlikely...we haven't had any contact with them, and I don't think Vali, would agree with having his rival cursed or brainwashed...Vali likes a fair fight when it comes to Issei." Akeno mumbled as she leaned over to Asia. But as soon as Akeno finished speaking Issei moved towards the group, slowly, his gaze now focussed on Rias.

"Who ever you are, answer me! What have you done to my Issei!" Rias yelled hoping to find out who was the mastermind of this attack, but in response came.

"That's it!" Xenovia yelled, she was was sick of staying on the defensive, and decided to rush towards Issei, Durandal raised above her head , ready to deliver a forceful blow and bring Issei back to his senses.

"Xenovia, no!" Kiba yelled as he broke rank and rushed to get to Xenovia only to sent flying back, by burst of explosive energy

"EXPLOSION!" Ddraig's voice yelled as burst of red draconic energy shot from Issei's hand and sent Kiba and Xenovia flying.

"Kiba! Xenovia!" Rias yelled as she Kiba and Xenovia lay unconscious, heir skin charred by the shear heat of the blast. Asia on instinct rushed over to the pair and used her twilight healing to heal the damage.

"Gasper use Forbidden Balor view to slow Issei down, we need as much time to figure out what we can do." Akeno bellowed as she focused on producing a large bolt of lighting, hoping it would be enough to stop Issei if Gasper was successful.

"Um...Okay" Gaper mumbled, as he turned from Akeno to focus his gaze of Issei, who was still walking slowly towards the peerage. And as soon as the sacred gear was activated Issei's movements slowed to that of a crawl, as if he wasn't even moving.

"I...I got him!" Gasper yelped

"Well done Gaspy!" Koneko cheered, as she patted him on the back.

"Great now we can plan somethi...wait where the hell did Issei go!?" Akeno bellowed resulting in the rest of the peerage search for any signs of Issei.

"I...i had him in my sights, but now he's gone!" Gasper whimpered only for his vampiric senses to pick up on something followed by Koneko who's cat ears were twitching as they picked up on a noise.

"What is it?" Rias asked only to see Akeno being blinded sided and knocked to the ground followed by the sound of a thunderous strike landing om Akeno's head, knocking her unconscious, at which moment Issei continued to move, moving so fast that he couldn't be seen.

"Akeno...Asia can you get to Akeno!" Rias screamed

"Hai" Asia said as she rushed to Akeno's side only to be blind sided by Issei, resulting in Asia loosing consciousness.

"How is he doing this?" Gasper whimpered

"It Ddraig, he must be using the boost effect to increase his speed, enough that your sacred gear was overpowered allowing him to escape your gaze and move unhindered by the effects of your power" Rias stated as she tried to keep an eye for Issei.

"I can hear something. He's moving in for another attack...get out of the way!" Koneke yelled as she caught the sound of Issei's thrusters with her enhanced hearing and shoved Rias out of the way taking the full impact of the hit.

Koneko! Are you alright!?" rias and Gasper yelled as Koneko landed om the ground, and luckily thanks to being a nekomata she landed om her feet.

"I'm okay. he's charging again...I've got this!" Koneko proclaimed as she ran in front of Rias and using her senjutsu, she charged her left hand and through the strike, timing it just right to land a solid strike of Issei's helm knocking him off balance and causing him to crash into the ground creating a gouge in the the gymnasium floor.

"Nice shot Koneko." Rias sighed in relief.

"I cant let him get back up." Koneko groaned as she rushed to Issei's position, only for her to be caught off guard by a dragon shot from Issei who had managed to recover from the strike. And had got to his feet and was now walking over to Rias and Gasper

"Koneko!" Rias screamed trying to plan her next move, will Gasper stood their in silent, trying to activate his sacred gear, but his fear was clouding his mind.

As this happened Issei was trying to figure out how he could get back in control

"You have to stop this!" Issei yelled as he struggled against his restraints.

"Why... Ill get what I want and return to the world with enough power to conquer the realms of heaven and Hell, besides I get to see the look on your face when I kill your beloved ruin princess. I bet it will look even better than when I killed you in the park." the voice chuckled as Issei's face turned chalk white, as the voice started to manifest a female body, accurate to her original form, down to the last curve.

"No, it cant be... Raynare " Issei whimpered as he realised who it was that's in control

"Now back to work, ive got a princess to kill hahah" Raynare chuckled as she focused on her task at hand, as she blocked numerous magical strikes from Rias and got close to Gasper landing a hard kick to his head, knocking him out cold.

"I've been waiting for this for sooooo long" Raynare growled as she blocked a destruction powered punch from Rias, and landed a swift head butt on the ruin princess, knocking her to the ground. Raynare then forced Issei's hands to wrap round Rias neck and start to strangle her...savouring the feeling of Rias's neck crushing in her grip.

"Issei...please...stop" Rias gasped, as she struggled to break the grip on her throat.

"RIAS!" Issei screamed in rage as with all his might, and the power of hate, he broke free from the magic that bound him.

"What!" Raynare hissed as she was tackled by Issei, breaking her control on Issei's body, causing her attempt to choke Issei to stop, allowing Issei to regain control for a short time.

"Rias...im so sorry" Issei wept as has he gently placed his gauntleted hands ion her face , as the purple glow of his eyes faded away.

"Issei..." Rias whimpered as she saw that Issei was back to normal.

"I don't think I have to long... I need you to hit me with everything you've got... or else she'll take comtrol again" Issei stared as he felt Raynare stasrting to fight him for control. Rias catching the sight of his helms eyes starting to turn from emerald green to dark purple

"What... Who's done this to you?"

"Just...do it!" Issei screamed as his he grabbed his helm in agony as Raynare used all the power she had to try and break Issei's soul apart.

"I'm sorry Issei" Rias whispered as she summoned all the power she could muster and realised it at point blank range at Issei, Rias knew she had the option to use extinguished star, but she knew this could kill everyone around her if she wasn't careful.

As the attack hit its mark, Issei screamed in agony, as his armour was wrenched by the force of the blast. Creating a blind flash of red light. When the light faded away, Rias was lying on the ground her uniform torn to shreds, , she slowly raised her self to see the rest of the peerage unharmed by her attack only to see Issei lying a few meters away, but she could tell he was seriously hurt.

"Issei!" Rias screamed as she ran over to him and placed him in the recovery position, luckily Issei was breathing, but it was very shallow.

"I cant have everyone return to Issei's home like this...if his parents found out then we're in trouble...ill teleport everyone to the club room." Rias mumbled as she placed a teleportation mark on all the unconscious members, after which she used her magic to repair her clothing and call Azazel.

"Azazael I need you to come to the club room, Issei's been possessed by someone and we are in bad shape. I need your help." Rias stated

" Is everyone okay." Azazel quickly muttered in a worried tone

"everyone's been knocked unconscious, some are worse off than others" rias sighed, knowing she her words wouldnt be enough o explain what happened

"Ill be their as quick as I can."

"Thank you Azazel." Rias mumbled as she ended her brief talk with Azazel and using her magic she teleported the peerage to the club room. After which she made sure they were comfortable while performing as much first aid as she could provide.
