[Sacred Gear aka Ddraig/Albion Thinking]

Flashback... End Flashback...

"Rias, what happened? Why are you and the rest of your peerage crying?" Sirzechs asked his younger sister, wanting to know what could have possibly made Issei suddenly raise his power tremendously and write such a message.

Rias, still in tears, just couldn't tell her brother about what they did to and said about Issei. Not only did they give him punishments that he entirely didn't deserve, but they spoke such ill about him that he almost destroyed his own house.

So instead Kiba, who wasn't crying but did have a few tears, spoke up.

"It started with our meeting with Lord Izanagi..."

And so Kiba told the great leaders of each faction what pushed Issei over the edge. How he was given a punishment of 5000 spanks, forced to clean every bathroom, scrape gum off every desk in all classrooms, write he was sorry for being a pervert, and then how he must have heard them talking ill of him.

Sirzechs, Michael, and Gabriel were shocked to hear the behavior of the two groups. Azazel, Ajuka, and Falbium looked down like they were ashamed. While Serafall was in between pouting and crying. Issei may have his perverted moments, which can annoy some people, but they agree that Issei never should have deserved what he got.

Right as all the girls were starting to slow down their crying, Gasper spoke up.

"I.. I.. t... tried to tell them that... that... they shouldn't have spoken about him like that." This made everyone look at him with shock, especially by the leaders.

"I said that Issei didn't deserve to be punished so severe. But no one listened to me. Instead they all looked like they were about to kill me!" Now the guilty groups were starting to cry even more.

"IT'S ALL THEIR FAULTS THAT ISSEI LEFT!"

Suddenly Gasper's Time Freeze ability activated out of nowhere. Everyone except the leaders, Vali's team, and Gasper were frozen in place.

"Gasper, why did you freeze everyone?" Michael asked the Vampire-Devil.

"Because they pushed too far. And I don't want to be in a group that treats its members like that!"

"Well then, what are trying to suggest?" Azazel asked him.

1 Day Later

"Gasper please! Don't make us have to do this!" Rias pleaded for Gasper.

Gasper had recently run away from the group when he saw that they truly hurt Issei. He didn't want to stay with a group that hurt their own even after they did so much for them.

"NO! I'M NOT COMING BACK! YOU HURT ISSEI AND NOW HE'S GONE! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"

Flashback...

Gasper told the 3 faction leaders what he was going to do. It seemed like suicide, but didn't want to stay with Rias anymore.

"Gasper, are you sure you want to do this? I mean, the penalty could mean you losing your life!" Sirzechs reminded the little vampire.

"I'm sure. Issei ran away because I couldn't help him, and I just won't stand around doing nothing anymore! I want to leave and find Issei!"

End Flashback...

"I'm sorry that he's gone Gasper...," Akeno said with a saddened face, "but that doesn't give you the right to run away. You have duties under Rias and I can't let you disrupt those duties."

"I STILL DON'T CARE!"

"Gasper please," Kiba begged, "you have to come back! I know what we did to Issei was wrong! But that doesn't mean you have to leave."

Gasper just stood there silently. But he looked as if he was ready to kill.

"Idiot. Come back." Koneko said with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Please Gasper!" All the girls shouted.

Gasper didn't budge. All he was think of was two things: Issei and betrayal from his friends.

When it looked like he wouldn't listen, even after hours of begging, screaming, and crying, they seemed to have made up their minds.

Rias and Akeno were charging up their most powerful attacks. They were being covered in electricity, with Rias' being darkish red.

As Gasper looked in horror to what may be his last moments in life, he slowly closed his eyes and prayed for a miracle. Though the chances seemed incredibly slim.

Looking at their friend one last time, the Crimson Ruin Princess and the Lady of Lighting had streams of tears forming around their faces. Le Fay, Ravel, Rossweisse, Irina, and Koneko closed their eyes not wanting to see the end of their friend. The rest of the girls all began breaking down and crying immensely. And Kiba was pounding his fists onto the ground.

They fired with as much intensity as they could muster. When suddenly their attacks faded to nothingness, with the exception of a little burn mark managing to hit Gasper on the cheek.

Out from behind they spotted 3 white wyverns with blue light coming straight from them. And even further behind was an oh-so familiar face. But this face was not happy at the slightest.

"Issei..." Rias whispered.

Flashback

Issei woke up to a room full of eyes staring at him. All of them were either wearing maid outfits or butler ones. From the looks of it, they all had questions forming in their heads left to right. But before any of them could ask one, a voice could be heard from the end of the hallway.

"Oh you're finally awake. I see you have met my servants as well."

However Issei was even more confused. So he had to ask, "Where am I?"

"My apologies Issei. I believe we met at the meeting last night. I am Lady Izanagi the very soon-to-be heiress of the House of Izanagi."

Her voice seemed delicate and sweet (Think of Hinata from Naruto). She was wearing a schoolgirl outfit that had green on the bottom and mostly black where her upper body was. Her shoes looked like sperrys with no laces. And she had a small blue bow on the right side of her long, brown hair.

"But you can just call me... Hope."

Issei got up from the couch he was laying on and walked by to the nearest window. Outside could be seen was a giant, beautiful garden being tended to by hundreds of servants. In the center of it, behind the large gate, was a giant statue of Lord Izanagi (A little bit smaller than the Superman statue in Metropolis). In the vast distance a waterfall, rivaling that of Niagara Falls, could be seen connecting with a lake that was bigger than Lake Baikal in terms of depth.

"Do you know how I got here?" Issei asked Hope.

"Well... when my butler, Sorauto, went out to check our mail we found you on the stairwell. At first he thought you were a ravel-rouser, but then he recognized you and took you in."

With that a man that had short gray hair growing from his head soon appeared from the nearest doorway.

"Yes, it was most discomforting. I couldn't believe that you had suddenly ended up in front of Lady Izanagi's home." Sorauto said.

"But I have a question to ask you Issei. Why aren't you with your peerage and Lady Rias?" Hope asked.

Issei looked down with a scowl on his face. He remembered the punishments he had to go through, the 2 beatings, and the ill words of his friends. Just thinking about that made his temper flare up, surprising Hope and some of her servants in the current room.

He told her about what had happened to him earlier that day. As he kept going with his story, his company were stunned by the turn of events. Many servants don't agree on how Issei is so perverted, but they know that someone like the Red Dragon Emperor doesn't deserve such a day like the one that happened just earlier.

"So that is why Lady Rias and her company were placing their heads down in shame." Hope said.

"Do you know what I should do? I don't want to go back to them because of how they treated me. But now I don't have anywhere else to go."

"I think you must follow where you want to go. Although that will be hard because I can still sense your evil pieces inside of you. And it will be dangerous if you remove them." (Someone remind me if it is dangerous to remove them or not).

"Well I just can't go back to them all of a sud..."

Before he could finish, Sirzechs and the 3 Lucifers showed up out of nowhere. They all looked like they were in a worried state of mind.

"Lord Sirzechs? What appears to be the problem?" Hope said while giving a slight bow.

"It's terrible Issei. You need to come with us as quickly as you can." The Red-Headed King said.

"Why? Does it have anything to do with Rias? If so, I believe I can't come after what they did and said."

"Please Issei! If you don't, things would spiral out of control really quickly!" Serafall cried out.

"I'm sorry, but I just..."

"GASPER'S LIFE IS IN DANGER!" Sirzechs yelled out while putting his head down as if he was in shame.

Issei looked in utter disbelief. What could possibly be wrong with Gasper? And who, at this time of peace, would want to take his life away?

"He's being targeted and if we don't hurry he may no longer be alive." Ajuka told Issei.

Issei was conflicted in his head. He knew Gasper's life was in danger and he was the only one who didn't do anything wrong to him. But Issei also knew that he'd see the group he began to hate.

"I don't know if I can. They treated me like I was garbage and even said that I was only good because I'm the Red Dragon Emperor. How can I go back to something like that?"

"Issei listen..."

"NO! They made me feel like I was just some loser who didn't even deserve to be in Rias' peerage! They gave me punishments that were too much for 1 lousy meeting! And to top it off, my day got even worse because I received beatings that I didn't even deserve! Then I wake up from those beatings to hear how lowly they thought of me! HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO GO BACK TO THAT?!"

"Iss..."

[ENOUGH!] Ddraig yelled out with a roar that scared everyone in the underworld.

The 4 Satans, Lady Izanagi, and her servants were all flabbergasted by Ddraig's outburst. Looking down upon Issei's left arm, they could hear Ddraig.

[Listen Satans! My partner has gone through one of the worst days he has ever experienced in his entire life! And based on how angry my partner sounds, we are issuing a warning to you! Unless you want to survive after today, I suggest you leave this instant!]

As Issei turned around and head for the front door to leave, he heard shocking news.

"RIAS, HER PEERAGE, AND YOUR PEERAGE ARE THE ONES TARGETING GASPER!" Serafall yelled out.

Issei stopped right on his tracks. Did he hear that right? Gasper is being targeted by his former group? What could the little guy have done to make him their target? Was it because he was the only one to side with Issei?

"He's being targeted because he ran away. Now that he's become a stray devil, Rias and the groups are trying to capture him. But I'm afraid he isn't wanting to go back. So please Issei! If you don't hurry back I'm afraid it might be too late!" Sirzechs said hoping Issei will listen to him.

Issei couldn't believe the sudden turn of events. He knew Gasper's life was on the line, but if he goes then the group may want him back. This would be a difficult decision for almost anyone if they went through what he experienced.

[Partner I think you should go.]

'Should I Ddraig? I mean... I just can't go back after that..'

[Enough of this Issei. Do you want to feel the guilt of knowing that you could have saved an innocent life?!]

'Well... no... but..."

[But nothing! Gasper supported you and how will you repay him? By letting him die! Do you want that?]

'No... I see what you're saying Ddraig. And I can't let that happen!'

Issei turned back to the 4 Satans with reluctance in his eyes, secretly hiding his concern for the little vampire.

"Fine Sirzechs, I'll come. But if I find this is some kind of trick..."

"It isn't Issei. I swear it."

Issei then stepped on the magic circle that began to appear under the leaders. Within a few seconds they vanished into thin air. Hope and her servants were looking on in confusion wondering what had just occurred.

End Flashback...

Gasper opened his eyes with a few tears after being burned. But he knew he wasn't dead, but he wondered why. When suddenly Issei appeared right in front of him with a friendly smile on his face.

"Yo wat up Gasper?"

"Issei?"

"Yeah, I heard what was going on and I just had to come help you."

Gasper looked down as if he was in shame. Issei too notice and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I... I... couldn't stop them Issei!" Gasper began crying a little kid. Issei quickly lifted him up and hugged the little guy.

"Don't worry, can you use your time-freeze ability?"

As asked Gasper's eyes lit up and the group behind them was frozen completely in place.

"Are you not going to confront them Issei?" Sirzechs asked.

"No. But when I leave, tell them our relationship is done for good."

"I'm afraid you can't do that Issei." Ajuka said

"And why not?" Issei asked with his eyes lighting up.

"It appears you still have the evil pieces inside you. This means that Rias and her group will be able to find you and try to bring you back."

"Then I guess I'll just have to remove them won't I?"

"But that will end up killing you!"

[You do not have to worry about that Devil Lords. After he acquired Great Red's Flesh, it would be impossible for him to die.] Ddraig told the Satans.

"But what about Gasper? He'll certainly die as well."

"I didn't think about that." Issei said, holding his chin with one hand.

[The only possible way is if we can turn him into a dragon such as ourselves.]

Issei looked down onto his little friend and asked him, "Are you okay with that?"

Gasper nodded and said, "Yeah Issei. I want to go where you want to go."

Issei patted Gasper on the head and began talking to Ddraig.

"Alright Ddraig, make it so."

Suddenly a red ray shone over Gasper. A few moments later his evil piece popped out and was floated over to Ajuka. Then a red ray came from Gasper's eyes and mouth and he began floating. Within a few seconds he fell into Issei's arms unconscious.

[The transformation is a success, but he needs some rest. As for you Issei, it's your turn.]

Issei nodded and closed his eyes. He felt a little pain from his stomach because the evil pieces were slowly coming out of him. When they were finally gone, he felt a little sweat. But he was okay.

[Issei's Evil Pieces have been removed. Congratulations Issei, you have become free from Rias Gremory and you are no longer king of your own peerage.]

"Thank you Sirzechs. I'll take my leave."

Issei had vanished and left. Ajuka had become a little worried and asked Sirzechs, "Are you sure about this? I mean, this may affect your relationship with your sister."

Sirzechs looked at him with complete seriousness. "I'm sure Ajuka. My sister needs to learn that punishments pushed too far can have severe consequences."

The group were unfrozen and surprised. Both Gasper and Issei were gone and the 4 Satans were in front of them. Rias spoke to her older brother.

"What happened? Where is Issei and Gasper?"

"They left Rias, and they no longer apart of you." Sirzechs told her sister as he held up their evil pieces.

Rias began crying and shouting, "WHY?! WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP THEM?!"

"It's because of your actions little sis. You need to take responsibility for your actions and face the consequences."

"But..."

"NO BUTS YOUNG LADY! Now go back to the ORC building because I have asked father to restore Issei's house back to normal and made his parents seem to have never noticed the change or you in their lives."

Rias and company were shocked by her brothers words, but ultimately relented. So they left crying and heart-broken more than ever.

Sirzechs looked down and worried, 'I hope you know what you're doing Issei."

I am finally done!

Thank you all for the LONG wait. I'm sorry for this, but I was trying my best to make a good second chapter.

Now I know you guys must be wondering why I didn't have Issei confront his former friends. But I assure you that I will save that for later.

As for the vote, here are the results so far:

Skipping Issei's disappearance and just go to a month later in the story (1)

Writing what he is doing within that month (0)

Saving what he is doing for later as a flashback. (6)

And my other vote:

Bring back Japanese honorifics (2)

No honorifics I am sick of them! (4)

(If I miscounted, someone go back and pm me)

All of this voting is going pretty slowly. So I'll decrease the vote from 30 to 20, mainly because more people will be reading and hopefully reviewing.

Again I'm so sorry for the delay. Just keep reviewing and fixing my mistakes.
