Chapter 4: The Past.
-Sunday-
Issei stood in front of the club room while everyone sits on the couches. Issei gives a sigh before starting.
"I guess I'll start from the beginning. The day my parents died. I was five or six years old...
-Flashback-
Issei is walking home with his mom, dad and his friend Irina. They had just left the park and are taking Issei's friend home.
"I had a lot of fun today Issei." Irina says.
"I know, Irina. That girl with the long black hair and weird outfit was really good at playing tag. What was her name again?"
Issei's father gulped.
"I-I'm sure you'll see her again someday Issei." Issei's father looks scared and nervous.
"She was a nice girl, a little non emotional, but a good girl. She took a liking to you Issei." His mom says next.
Irina looks at Issei and blushes.
"Mom!" Issei yells crossing his arms.
They drop Irina off at her house then the three headed off to their own home.
It was when they open the door did a horrible sight catch their eyes. The house was trashed, with burn and scratch marks on the walls and floors. It looked as if a monster had done this.
"Ah...welcome home." Says a voice.
The three turn their head to the staircase to the second floor.
"It's so nice to see you. Tell me, where the Excalibur." A man that had red eyes, long, black hair, pain skin and long ears came into view.
Issei's father steps in front of him and his mother to shield them.
"Why are you here looking for the Excalibur?" He says back to the man.
"Well wouldn't you what to know?" The man grew five pairs of black, feathered wings and formed a yellow spear in his hand.
"I'll never tell you where it is Kokabiel!" Issei's father also forms a blue light spear.
The two use them as swords as Issei and his mother went to hide from the fight. They got into the master bedroom when a scream is heard. Issei's mother quickly grabs a gun out of a box and the hilt if a sword.
She puts Issei into the closet and tells him to be quiet and don't open the door.
"Mom? Mom!?" Issei yells.
Soon a gunshot and a woman's scream is heard.
"Where are you boy!?" Kokabiel yells throughout the house.
He gets into the room where Issei is and walks over to the closest. "You smell holy, just like your father."
Kokabiel then opens the closet and grabs Issei, who is trying struggle out of his hands.
"No! No! Let me go!" Issei yells as Kokabiel walk back to the living with Issei.
"MOM! DAD!" Issei yells as his parents on the floor, coved in blood and wounds.
"You mother is dead boy...you will soon and your father will soon follow if someone doesn't tell me where the Excalibur is?" He looks at the lifeless body up against the wall, and the man with golden wings breathing heavily.
"Please, don't hurt my son...it's in the form of a katana...in the main bedroom in the closet. Please don't hurt him." Issei's father says.
Kokabiel drops the boy and leaves to get the sword. Issei runs to his father.
"I'm alright...please run from here...and don't come back...go to your friends Irina's house." Issei's father puts a hand on Issei's head and smiles.
"But dad..."
*SPLAT*
Blood slashes on Issei's face. The yellow spear has impaled his father's head. Soon it disappears, leaving a hole in his head.
"DAD!"
"I'll be ok boy; you'll soon join him and your mother." Kokabiel stands at the door way with the katana and another spear. He throws the spear into Issei's chest so hard that it pushes him back and pins him to the wall.
"Good bye." Kokabiel then spreads his wings again and walk out the door casually.
'Father...Mom...I'm...sorry.'
[Do you want to live boy?]
'What...who's there' Issei tries to look around, but can't move his head.
[I am inside you, I am apart of you. Do you want to live boy?]
'...yes...yes I want...to live.'
[Good. Then you'll have to give me two things.]
'...what...are...they...?'
[1. Your heart and body, the wound will heal and you will live...but it will leave you more vulnerable to me later.]
'Take them...' The spear vanishes and Issei drops to the floor with a thud and a hole in his chest.
[The next is a promise...promise you'll kick and kill that Fallen Angel's ass!]
'...A-alright...' Issei's heart stops beating.
Issei starts to glow crimson and the hole in his chest starts to heal. His skin starts to become scaly with the rest if his body after the wound is fully closed.
Then Issei starts to screams in pain. After a few minutes he stops. His skin has a red tint in it. Issei lays there, unconscious, until a man with a sword bursts though the door to the gruesome sight. He runs over to Issei's mother and father to see if they were alive.
'There dead...' A tear starts to form in his eye as he finds Issei and the ground. He rushes over to him and checks to see if he's as the same.
'He's...alive!' He picks up Issei and runs out the door. Down the street he enters a house.
"Dear? Want is going on? *gasp*" a woman looks at Issei and the man hands him over to her.
"Take care of him...I'll be going back to see if anyone is still there." He heads for the door.
"What about the Hyoudou's..."
The man lowers his head before leave after he says, "there dead..."
The women gasps, the man leaves and she take Issei to a room with a desk and bed. She lies him down on the bed and cheeks for injuries. But finds much more then injuries.
"Mommy, where is daddy?" A girl stands by the door.
"Daddy is out right now Irina." Irina's mom turns around to look at her child.
"Ok...is that Issei?" Irina points to the person in the bed.
"Yes honey, that Issei...he'll be living with us for a while."
"Why?"
"His parents...are going to be away for a while so were going to take care of them while they're gone."
"...Yay! I get play with Issei more."
"Yeah...go back to your room Irina I'll be there when daddy comes home."
"Ok." Irina left the room leaving her mother and Issei.
After a while later, the man comes back.
"Is everything alright?" The woman asks.
"No. The Hyoudou's are dead and the Holy sword and Excalibur Mimic are missing."
"No it's not. It was on Issei's arm in the form of a bracelet." She holds up a braided, red bracelet. It glows white and in a flash, a sword appears where the bracelet was.
"That good, someone must have killed then for it and took the decoy holy sword. Anyway how is Issei?"
"He is fine, and not hurt. But something worries me."
"What is it?"
"His skin is hard and scaly and has a more reddish tint to it. His teeth are more jagged, and his body has a better build. But the most worrying thing is his aura is strong, very strong. Like a...dragons." The man widens it eyes.
"I don't know what happened, but the Hyoudou's are dead except Issei. And he has changed to be like a dragon...needed to speak to the church about this."
"Let's ask Issei was he knows first. He might give more information."
"Alright. You go to bed with Irina. I'll be up to make sure the culprit doesn't come back for the sword."
"Alright, night honey."
"Night."
The women leaves for the room Irina went too and the man stays.
-One Week Later-
[Wake up.]
'What...'
[Wake up!]
'Who's there... ?'
[WAKE UP!]
Issei's eyes shoot open from the image of a giant red dragon surrounded by flames
Issei pants as he gets up and sits on the bed. He looks around to an unfamiliar room. 'Where am I?'
*Crash*
Issei turns his head to see his best friend, Irina at the door with a spilt bottle of water at her feet. She runs over to him with tears in her eyes and hugs him tightly and cries into his chest.
"Issei! Issei! I thought you wouldn't wake up!" She yells.
Footsteps can be heard as both Irina's mother and father enter the room.
"Issei, thank god you're awake. I thought you'd never wake up." Irina's mom says.
"Sorry." Issei's eyes then change to dull and emotionless. "I guess this mean that my mom and dad are..." Tears form in his eyes as he holds onto Irina.
"We are sorry about them. I was in charge of protecting them...I failed my job to protect you and your parents." Irina's father says.
"...it fine...none of this is your fault...it's that mans fault!" Issei starts to let go of Irina.
"Who?" She asks.
"Father called him...Cocoball...Kokabill...Kokabiel!" Issei's eyes show hatred for that man...the man that killed his parents.
"Kokabiel...can you prove it?"
"I know who he is and what he looks like."
"*sigh* even then...I don't think that church will believe us...the church will do anything if it can prevent another Great War. I'll still talk with them." Irina's father says.
"Yes, I'll stay here with the kids." His wife adds.
-Flashback End-
Issei sits down on the couch next to Asia. Akeno and Yuuto look down at their feet. Koneko walks over to Issei and places her hand his shoulder and Rias looks like she is in the verge of tears.
"So...did the church do anything?" Asia asks.
"They moved me and my new guardians to Italy. There, my friend Irina and I trained. We become a well know Exorcist group with Freed. But other than that...they didn't do anything." Issei clenched his fist.
"And the Excalibur?" Yuuto asks next.
"It wasn't taken, what my father gave to him was a copy of a holy sword that failed. I gave the Excalibur back to the church."
Yuuto looks to Issei with slight anger in his eyes.
"So what happened next?" Koneko asks.
"Well when I was 12, Freed was labeled a Rouge Exorcist, he attacked Irina and me. We won, but I used my Angles form for the first time. I saved her, but Freed got away. About a month later, a message was sent to the church, and I went to heaven to become an Angel like my father. I was treated differently because I was half Angel but I got through it. During my training, I awakened my Boosted Gear while trying to focus my energy to form a light spear. After that I left Heaven and went back to the church after two years." Issei finished and everyone in the room expect himself and Asia has wide eyes.
Rias looks at Issei with a little fear.
"Y-you've been to Heaven?"
"Yes. I'm a pretty good with manipulating light." Issei stands and forms a black light spear. "Though this is new."
"What do you mean?" Asia asks.
"Well the spear used to be a light blue, now it's black."
Akeno moves her and to the spear and pokes it. It changes to a yellow color, then back to black.
"Issei?" Rias asks. "H-how powerful are you?"
Issei stood there for a few moments.
"I don't know."
"How could you not know?" Koneko asks.
"Soon after I got back, I got into a fight with a top Exorcist. He confronted me because of my Angel blood and power, he wanted me to train him...when I refused he attacked me saying that just because I am an Angel, doesn't mean I should keep the power all to myself. I killed him in 2 minute on the church floor. After that I left the church fearing I might cause more disruption."
"But it's not your fault for him attacking you."
"It is actually, the aura of a dragon can do two things, make strong people to seek me out and fight me, and bring women to gather around me. And it was my fault for killing him. The aura of a dragon can be a bad thing...but I personally love the fact that women gather to me." Issei's face changes as he thinks naughty thoughts.
Koneko slaps his back which makes him fall forward. "...you better not be thinking of us, pervert."
"Haha...sorry." Issei replies.
"Where did you go after you left the church?" Yuuto asks.
"Well...I trained with Ddraig and I traveled the world during that training. I met many people who helped me train. When I was in Italy...I met Asia." Issei looks over to Asia, who blushes.
"I found her laying on the side of a path in northern Italy. She was wearing a nun's outfit but it was worn, though she wasn't wounded, but she looked like she hadn't eaten in days. So I helped her by making a shelter and giving her food and water. When she woke, she prayed to god that he helped her." Issei started to laugh a bit.
"What is it?" Rias asks.
"It's nothing. Anyway, put a sleeping spell in her so I could take her to a place she could be safe for a while. I prayed that the Fallen wouldn't get to her, but they did. It doesn't matter now. She is here safe." He walks back over to Asia and pats her head.
"I cannot say how much thankful I am to you. I try my hardest to repay you." Asia says.
"No need, as long as you are happy, that's more the enough."
Rias looks over to Asia and glares at them. Akeno walks up to Rias and whispers. "Is someone jealous?"
Road blushes and replies with a no. Akeno's giggles and goes back to Issei.
"Anyway, I came back to Japan to live here, in my home town after some "events" happened and I needed a rest from training and from the supernatural. But then I met you guys and you all know the rest."
"Ok... Are you glad you become a Devil and my servant?" Rias asks.
"Yes actually. I've met you people and became friends with you. And it has helped my gain power that I couldn't have gotten before. This will most likely help keep a promise I made to a dear friend."
*Knock* *Knock*
They all look to the door. "Come in" Rias says.
The door opens and Sona, along with any others come inside the room.
"Ah, Sona. What do you need?" Rias says. Sona wake up to Rias and whisper into her ear.
"Well... It's about Issei. I looked into him more and found he not only worked for the church but he visited Heaven and he is..." Rias cut Sona off.
"I already know."
"You do? How?"
"Issei just told us everything."
Sona steps back and look at Issei.
One of Sona's peerage goes up to Issei and slaps his back.
"Hello newbie. I'm Genshirou Saji. You may call me Saji and only Saji. You got that." Saji pokes at Issei's chest.
'D-did he j-just call me n-newbie?!' Issei's gets angry.
"Saji." Sona says.
"You don't look to tough. I geuss you just have looks and no strength."
"Saji!" Sona says again to Saji, who ignores.
"You kinda pissed newbie, want to go at it? Even though I don't look strong, I consumed four Pawn pieces. So don't think you can win easy."
"Stop Saji!" Sona yells.
"But..."
"If you basing how strong you are by the number of piece you consumed, you only took four...Issei too all eight of Rias's, and two of them were mutation pieces." She stares coldly at Saji.
Saji looks at Issei in shock and back away.
"But if it's a fight you want, then it's a fight you'll get. If Rias agrees, I'd like to have our new pawns battle." She turns back to Rias. Saji tries to run but is caught by Koneko.
"Well...if Issei agrees, then I'll agree." Rias looks to Issei, who nods yes.
"Let's go outside, I'll set up a barrier." Sona and her peerage walk outside, followed by Rias and her peerage.
"I want you to only use your Boosted Gear, but only go up to three boosts." Rias whispers to Issei.
"That if I can get to three before he loses." Issei gives a blood thirsty grin.
Issei and Saji stand far apart with one of Sona's peerage stands in between them.
"Ready, set, Fight!" She yells.
Issei just stands with his eyes closed as Saji rushes at him. Saji gets to Issei and starts throwing punches and kicks, but Issei, still with his eye closed, dodges them all.
Issei finally opens his eyes and uses his palm to move and throw Saji a few feet behind him.
The watchers all gasp as they look at Issei's eyes. They have turned yellow with a black slit for pulps.
"What the hell happened to your eyes?" Saji yells.
"This is my dragon eyes, with this I can see the movement of any living object, even if they're behind a wall or my eye lids." Issei says in a cool tone.
"How did you get dragon eyes?"
"Because I'm this generations Sekiryuutei..." Issei forms his Boosted Gear. "And I have a strong connection with the dragon."
"Haha. Never heard of you. And you're not the only one with a Sacred Gear." Saji forms a black lizard looking thing I his arm. "It's called Absorption Line."
Issei gets irritated with Saji.
"Rias, I'm going to go past 3 boosts, but I'll never touch him." Issei says as his Boosted Gear glows.
"Issei?"
Issei then shoot a black magic circle at the barrier and it gets absorbed into it and the barrier changes.
[Boost] [Boost] [Boost] [Boost]
"What...wait...Issei!?" Rias yells.
[Boost] [Boost] [Boost] [Boost]
The ground starts to shake violently.
[Boost] [Boost] [Boost] [Boost]
"What's going on?!" Saji yells as he falls on his knees gasping for air, some for some of the others.
[Boost] [Boost]
"Issei, stop! I give! I give!" Saji then falls to the floor.
Issei just stars at him with a blood thirsty smile, but soon lowers his energy and the ground stops shaking.
Saji soon stands up as Issei shoot another black circle at the barrier and shatters it.
Sona, Rias, and their peerage walk up to Issei as Saji is hung by his arms around two of Sona's peerage.
"What was that you shot at the barrier?" Sona asks.
"Well the first one was another barrier the strengthened your barrier. Yours would have shattered quickly and let my energy flow through it. My barrier was made to stand up to that energy that I released, and to hide its presence."
"Why would you want to hide it?" Rias asks.
"You know how you guys felt, imagine in you were human. They would be out cold or worse. And other beings could sense it and come here to pick a fight."
They all nod. Sona looks to Rias, "You have a smart and powerful Pawn. I'm sure he can keep the days around here lively." She then looks to Issei. "And I hope you can be more careful. Some of the weaker members of my group fainted." She adjusted her glasses and starts to walk away with her peerage behind her.
"What's her problem, she acts like she has a stick up her butt, or something else." Issei whispers. But Koneko heard him and kick him.
"Ow, ow, ow. I'm sorry I said that..."
