I own nothing at all.
Ch3
The sheer venom in her voice stops all of us dead. Her eyes are cold as she awaited my answer. "Lady rias we are here on behalf of the Astaroth family to make amends for my brother's mistakes. I know of your anger towards him and your bishops misfortune at my brother but I am not him." if she is surprised by this she shows no sign of it. It is then that my pawn Curtis takes a step forward. When he does the tension in the room seems to thicken. He then speaks for me. "Lady Gremory" suddenly power is felt in the room. Issei steps forward his power flaring. "You will not address Bucho as if you know her. You and your family are not welcome here. After what happened too Asia I will be dead before I let her in the same room as you." Curtis shows no signs of stopping as he pushes forward. "You must be Issei the red dragon emperor also known as the oppai dragon emperor. Your power as a pawn is something to be amazed by. I myself have eight pieces like you" he then stops in front of Issei. "Issei will you please" suddenly his hands move faster than most of the room can see. Everyone in the gremory peerage gets ready for a fight. "Sign this please I'm a huge fan of your show," Curtis says with a giddy smile. He is holding a poster of Issei in his armor standing next to rias. Everyone sweat drops at this. Issei smiles and takes the poster. He then proceeded to rip it in half causing Curtis to go wide-eyed. He drops to the floor grabbing at the pieces of the poster. "I'm not signing shit for an Astaroth scum like you." rias looks at him in shock. Curtis starts to cry slightly. "Issei was that really necessary." rias askes. "Yes, it was, I'm not here to be friends with you. After your family hurt Asia and Bucho like that" suddenly a power flares. I'm not phased by it but the rest of the gremory peerage is. Looking at the source of it there is my pawn raising his power. Issei looks a little shocked at my pawn. Curtis slowly stands up. "You were supposed to be a nice guy issei but I was wrong" Curtis then forms his cleaver in his hand. Everyone can feel the holy power emanating from it. He then points it at Issei. "You have taken what I loved and destroyed it. I challenge you to a duel of skill. You may use whatever power you want." issei is caught off guard by this. "Rias I suggest you find a place too do this or it will be a big insult on not only me but also my family," I say. With a raised eyebrow she nods. "Both of you take this outside. I don't want my clubhouse destroyed by you." Curtis nods and walks out. Everyone looks at Issei who is still in shock.
"Issei-kun are you really gonna fight him," Asia says with concern. We all stop at the clearing they have chosen for the duel. "I don't want to fight him at all. This was not my intention. I just wanted to prove a point." he says sadly. "You did prove a point issei. You proved that you are rash. You immediately assumed that he would back down. Curtis is a proud man and you not only insulted him but what he believed in. he thought you were cool. He believed you were not like the dragons from his homeland." all of the gremory peerages look at me with a raised eyebrow. "He is not from our dimension." that is all the explanation they get. Issei turns too me and asks "wait you said dragons from his dimension what do you mean by that." before I can answer issei suddenly screams out in pain. Dark smoke is coming from his back. When he bends down I can now see what it is. A wooden arrow shaft is sticking out of his back. Looking at my pawn I can see that he is holding his bow with another arrow notched in full draw. "Are you gonna stop talking and take the duel seriously or do I have to put another holly arrow in your back," he says with all seriousness. Rias looks at him with furry. "So this is how you fight. A cowards way. You shoot a man in the back when he is talking to others." rias screams. Issei pulls the shaft out of his back and shifts his head towards Curtis. "One may fight however he wishes if he is too win." Curtis then losses another arrow. Issei grabs the arrow out of the air and breaks it. Issei then shows his boosted gear. "Alright Ddraig let's go balance breaker" Welsh dragon balance breaker. There was a red flash as the scale mail forms around him. A small smile forms on my pawns face as the armor forms. "Well well well, that is some fancy armor you go there. Well just so you know I have a set too. Want to see it." Curtis then raises his hand and a gold light flashes. Curtis is now standing there holding a large angular shield. His helmet was covering his head only showing his face. There is a metal headdress on the top of his head running from back too front. A long cloak runs down his back covering a layered metal armor. His gauntlets seem to be used to cover his gloved hand as if wrapped around it. His greaves share the same feature. He is holding a spear with a darkened spear point. ( it basically the armor that is worn by the elves in the battle of the last alliance.)
Both issei and Curtis stare at each other. Neither moving as the rest of us look on. Proving to us that he is rash, Issei takes the first move. Pulling out Ascalon he charges Curtis. As issei gets closer Curtis moves very little. Curtis then sidesteps him and Issei flies into a tree. Issei stands back up and charges at Curtis again. All Curtis does is thrust his spear forward. Issei dodges the spear due to his training with tannin. What issei wasn't expecting was that the spear that Curtis uses isn't just for stabbing but it is also for slashing. Curtis then sidesteps him while bringing the spear around and slashes his back. Issei being the tough guy he is, stands up and looks at Curtis. Curtis has his shield in front of him while the spear is facing issei. All this time issei is charging his gear. BOOST "all right now try this. Dragon shot." a ball of magic forms in his hand and he blasts it forward. (basically, the one he used against Diadora.) curtis just stands there as the ball approaches him. Ever one but my own peerage looks on in fear. "Rias that won't kill him," i say. The ball finally connects with Curtis's shield. After a few seconds, the ball flys off to the right of Curtis and destroys some of the mountain range. Everyone's a little taken back by this. Issei is the first to say something. "How did you do that. That's my strongest magic spell." Curtis just smiles. "Easy I just angled my shield a little and let the energy be deflected by it."Curtis then charges forward at high speed and plunges the spear into issei's shoulder. This pines issei tp the ground. " the first lesson never overestimate your own abilities. And second, never underestimate any opponent." Issei still pines to the ground reaches around and snaps the spear. Curtis jumps back and suddenly disappears into the tree line.
"Come out and fight me you, coward." suddenly an arrow whizzes past him. "A coward huh, well this coward has you on your toes." another arrow strikes issei in the back. Issei turns around and rushes out into the woods. For the next ten minutes, all we hear is issei scream as what I believe is Curtis harming him. There are also some explosions of power but they are few and far between. Another five minutes pass and finally we here heavy footsteps. Curtis comes walking out of the treeline carrying a giant porcupine. 'Actually, it's Issei but hey it's kinda funny' Curtis is then bombarded by all the girls in Rias' peerage. Asia takes issei away while the rest of the girls proceed to pound Curtis into the ground while screaming baka over and over again. After they disperse Curtis is lying on the ground knocked out with bruises all over the parts we can see. When he stands up he looks dazed. He then speaks "how much is that K9 American in the window"everyone looks at him as if he is stupid. He shakes the distortion off of him. Issei wakes up around the same time and looks at Curtis. "Well issei did you learn your lesson." all of the gremory peerages look at Curtis as if he has a second head. Issei nods lightly and then stands up. "I look forward to learning under you master." rias looks at Issei. "Ok, issei first of no master I'm your equal, not your better." issei looks up and nods.
Rias then speaks. "What is going on" Curtis then speaks too her in a very light voice. "My lady i merely offered issei some advice and some other training in survival and tactics." rias nods and then looks at me. She then walks slowly over too issei while her gaze never leaves me. "So what my understanding is. Is that you a mere pawn is going to teach the one and only red dragon emperor." Curtis just nods and then smirks. "Is that who i was fighting. Honestly it felt like i was hunting a pack of orcs near the Brandywine." Curtis then chuckles at his own joke. Rias then flashes her own power. "Issei is not some orc near the Brandywine, whatever that is. He is a great and powerful man." akeno then steps up. " maybe i should show you what happens when you mess with us." yellow and blue lightning start to form around her. Curtis then decides it would be best to diffuse the situation now. "Miss akeno and rias i ask one question and one only. If your pawn is all powerful then how was it that i was able to beat him so easy." this causes both of them too stop. Rias then opens her mouth too respond but then closes it. Akeno then speaks. "You obviously had a stronger sacred gear than he did." Curtis just facepalms. as he drags his hand down he exhales. "Ok obviously you don't understand. My sacred gear is nowhere near the power of the boosted gear. The reason i won is because i have years upon years of experience fighting. I know how to not only use the terrain i also know how to get around a powerful foe. I can show your pawn how to do so as well. This will allow him too not only get away if he needs too but too also rely on his own abilities not his gear. That is what i am offering him and all of you if you so wish. I'm already training the rest of my peerage with this and you can join in too." Curtis then smiles as do we all.
Rias and akeno call all of the peerages together. They spend the next ten or so minutes discussing what to do. Looking at Curtis I can see that he is happy to possibly be helping so many people. Suddenly the group disperses. "Curtis I accept your help and teachings. What should we call you." rias asks. Curtis thins for a second then he smiles "you can call me…"
