Azazel arrive to see the the full extent of the damage done by Issei. Many of the peerage had been left badly concussed and covered in burns and cuts from the ferocity of Issei attacks, they had been placed around the room, some where on the couches while others where lying on the floor with cushions used to support their heads. Of all the peerage Issei was in the worst condition, most of his hair and scalp had been burned away by the strike, and part of his upper chest and neck were covered in large sections of badly burned and charred skin.

"I'm sorry I wasn't here as quickly as I should have, I made sure to get some extra help." Azazel sighed as he walked over into the middle of the club room and took in the sight of the entire peerage in their injured states.

"Who did you ask?"

"I'm so sorry for being Late Rias... Azazel told me what happened and i got here as quickly as i could. I finished work early and was out getting some discounted clothes..." Rossweisse said apologetically as she left the portal only for the sight of the entire peerage besides Rias being incapacitated to cause her to gasp, covering her mouth in shock.

"At least you're here to help... honestly I'm rather at a loss as to what to do." Rias mumbled as she used activated a healing spell and started to heal Akeno and Koneko, kneeling beside them as she used her magic.

"That's why we're here" Azazel stated as he raised his hands and summoned a large dark green ball of energy.

"Could you enhance this Rossweisse?"

"Yes of course Azazel" Rossweisse stated as she used her Norse magic to cover the ball in numerous rune which increases the brightness of the ball, and after a few seconds the ball burst into a blinding flash of green light which, enveloped the entire room. Once the the brightness of the spell dissipated Rias looked to see that the entire peerage were unharmed, and some had begun to get up from their resting positions.

"That was rough...what the hell happened?" Kiba mumbled rubbing his head.

"Your all right Kiba...that's a relief!" Rias yelped. As she rushed over to Kiba and hugged him as she did this, Koneko, Xenovia and Asia, awoke from their states of unconsciousness

"Rias...is Issei okay?" Asia whimpered as she rose of unsteady legs looking for Issei. only to see him lying on the couch, his chest rising up and down, his wounds had completely healed.

"Issei, can you here me?" Rias whispered as she walked over to the couch and kneeled beside him, placing her hand on his cheek, but Issei did not respond.

After a few minutes the entire peerage were back to normal, with Rossweisse and Azazel checking them over to see if they had suffered any other injures that the spell had failed to heal, luckily no one had any injuries to be accounted for however Issei had not awoken.

"So Rias, could you tell me what exactly was going on?" Azazel asked as walked over to grab a chair and pulled it over to the couch Issei was lying on.

"We where going over our training for the next rating game, but before this Issei had been complain of being unable to sleep due to having recurring nightmares. During the fight with Xenovia and Kiba, Issei had a problem using Ddraig to boost, but no other issues...after this Issei then fought me, Akeno and Koneko in his scale mail form, but we caught him with a powerful blast and he fell to ground, and was unresponsive. Asia rushed over and healed him and he seemed fine until he suddenly fell to the ground and asked for help, then he stopped answering..."

"Hmmm, this seems rather odd? What happened next?"

"I knelt beside him to reassure him that he would be okay, and out of the blue he grabbed me by the throat and tried to choke me. His eyes where dark purple. Kiba and Xenovia saved me and after that Issei lost control and took everyone down individually until I was the last one left...then Issei somehow snapped out of this and asked me to hit him with all the magic I had, I hesitated to do so until he started screaming in agony for me to stop him. I did what he asked and knocked him out. Do you know what could be wrong with Issei." Rias sighed as she looked at Issei and took his hand in hers and held it gently

"It seems their may be a curse of some sort that has afflicted Issei. Perhaps during his encounter with Loki or with the Hero Faction may have led to a curse being placed upon him …let me check Issei magical signature." Azazel stated as he rose from his chair and placed his hand over Issei as a small white symbol appeared in Azazel's palm. As Azazel scanned Issei he could see the dark red magic befitting his demonic nature and the signature unique to the red dragon emperor which glowed with an emeral hue.

"Hmmm, their seems to be nothing the matter with...him?" Azazel sighed only for a peculiar sight to catch his eye.

"What is it Azazel what's wrong?" Akeno asked as she leaned in to see what had caught Azazel by surprise.

"

"That cant be right...how is this possible?" Azazel gasped as he scanned Issei again and the same peculiar signature was present.

"What is Azazel!?" Rias yelled, growing more concerned with each second that passed.

"This isn't a curse...Issei has another soul in his body...

"What!" The entire peerage yelled as the caught sight of signature which glowed with a distinctive purple hue.

"But its more than that...i know who this belongs to...it belongs to Raynare." Azazel stated coldly. Azazel had worked with Raynare during his time as governor general and he had witness first hand the power Raynare possessed for such a young fallen angel, which made it all the more surprising that her exact magical presence was clearly visible in Issei

"No no no, that cant be right... I destroyed her soul!" Rias proclaimed as she tried to understand what Azazel told her.

I don't know how either, but we need to get her put or else Issei will either never wake up again or we will lose Issei to her influence."

" that bitch...she's trying to take Issei away from me...ill tear her apart when i see her!" Rias yelled to herself as she felt her rage grow as the thought of losing Issei stayed on her mind.

"How do we get her out?" Koneko stated in her usual monotone voice."

"I cant risk using a removal spell or else I may harm Issei during this given how complex this process is...there is another option. I can send a few of you into Issei mind, allowing you to face her head on, and hopefully remove her by destroying her soul." Azazel stated as she placed his hand on the ends of the couch just above where Issei's head was lying.

"Ill go." Rias stated. she knew no one could stop her from doing this, Issei was the man she loved and no force in Heaven or Hell could stop her from protecting him

"No ill go, you've been through enough already Rias, let me go" Koneko interjected. she knew Rias was worried about Issei but she knew that she couldn't live with herself if Rias was somehow hurt by Raynare due to being blinded by rage and losing her precious Issei would be too much to bear.

"I'm your Queen Rias so I should go, I have the power to take Raynare down." Akeno proclaimed. She cares deeply for Issei, ever since seeing him fight for Rias's autonomy again Riser, and since then her feeling grew stronger by the day and after Issei made her see past her own hatred she could not see life without him being in her life and would do anything to keep him close to her.

after a brief argument ensued over who should make up the group to enter Issei subconscious they argument was ended thanks to Rossweisse using this time to come up with solution

"How about this... why don't Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Asia and Xenovia enter Issei's mind, it's the best mix of powers and leaves a few people behind in case anything goes wrong?" Rossweisse stated.

"That should work, their are enough people to potentially deal with any circumstance but not too many as to make this spell unsustainable...are you happy with this?" Azazel states as he looked to Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Asia and Xenovia.

Hai" they stated as Azazel prepared himself to summon this spell, stretching his fingers. As he did this Rias and everyone else who was to be sent into Issei subconscious, sat on the floor besides Issei.

Now to make sure you understand what I am doing...i am casting a spell which will act as a conduit which will allow your souls to enter Issei's mind, and during this, you will be able to access and use your powers and equipment as if your in your body, however this means that your also able to be injured in this form, and can be killed if your fatally injured meaning your soul dies and your body will be a lifeless shell, be careful and good luck." Azazel droned as he placed a magical symbol on the heads of Issei and the girls, after which he walked over to the back of the couch and raised his hands.

"Are you ready?" Azazel asked. As the girls nodded.

"Before you go, I promise to do all I can to make sure Issei is comfortable." Rossweisse whispered

"And I promise to stop Issei if your unable to stop Raynare...if it comes to that" Kiba stated, grimacing at the thought.

"Thank you" Rias whispered as she looked to Azazel and nodded giving him a sign that they were ready to go. as Azazel prepared himself he cast the spell, Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Asia and Xenovia looked to one another then they looked to Issei, the same thought in their minds as they did so.

"we'll get you back Issei...no matter what."

"Three...Two... One " Azazel counted down and as soon as he reached one he clicked the fingers on both his hands as a flash of white light appeared from his hands which became the last sight Rias and her companions saw before their vision faded to black as they took the journey to enter Issei subconscious.
