Tachibana Household – 6:05 A.M

"What was I thinking, setting my alarm this early?" Hikaru said to himself. The teenager then got up from his bed and stretched before hearing a satisfying pop from his bones. He went to his closet and took out his shinken. He pulled out the blade which made a *SHING* sound as it was pulled out. Hikaru then changed his clothes so that his sword's sheath would be on his left hip.
Hikaru then began going through a series of kata (1) that appeared to be very refined and practiced a lot. A downward slash. A diagonal uppercut. As Hikaru went through his sword techniques, he began to fall into a deep concentration.
All the noise coming from the birds outside the apartment was blocked out, in fact, in Hikaru's vision, all of his surroundings began fading away until it was Hikaru practicing with his sword and the floor beneath him. Hikaru began to speed up his katas consistently, almost like a fast-paced dance.
Hikaru then put his sword back in its sheath and drew it out in one quick, lethal strike, cutting the air around him. The black-haired boy then put his sword in the sheath again before taking it off his hip and placing back in his closet.
Once that was done, Hikaru then began doing push-ups. 'I honestly can't believe that Saitama's workout routine actually works in real life, at least without the bald head part.' Hikaru humoredly thought about the overpowered bald anime protagonist's workout, which was 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups and 100 squats along with a 10 kilometer run. Though Hikaru was going to have to skip the run due to having school.
Tachibana Household - 7:09 A.M
"It's times like these that I'm thankful for the shower being invented." Hikaru said as he stepped out of the shower, his hair dripping with water and chiseled torso being exposed for all to see, he also had a large towel tied around his waist.
"Hikaru? Why are you taking a shower right now?" Hikaru's mom asked the boy. "Well, I want to try and ease back into working out even though it's been a while." Hikaru told his mom the truth while also hiding the true reason of needing to become stronger as a Devil.
"Oh! Well, if that's the case, then I need to begin making the old workout diet food!" Nozomi brightened and went to the kitchen to prepare cooking. 'Even though that diet is mostly vegetables and a few meats that are packed with carbs, Mom still finds a way to make it all taste good.' Hikaru complimented his mom's cooking in his head and went to his room to get dressed.
(5 minutes later...)
"Kay, I'm going now." Hikaru said to his mom who just waved back and smiled. Hikaru then closed the door and headed to the elevator of the apartment complex. Hikaru's home was on the fourth floor so it would take a minute or two for the elevator to get to the ground floor. As Hikaru waited, he began thinking of how he and Issei were taken by surprise by Dohnaseek and that other Fallen Angel.
'If I want to live... no, if I want to make any dream I have come true and make sure the people I care about are safe, then I need to push myself 2, no 10 times harder than I ever have!' Hikaru determinedly thought to himself as his right hand clenched, unknowingly making the back of it glow a bright red.
"You have a noble cause in your heart and you're willing to push your body to the breaking point. I'm certain you'll turn out to be an interesting host." A deep male draconic voice echoed in Hikaru's mind. The black-haired boy was startled and looked around to see who said that. When he couldn't find anyone or anything, it only made him confused.
'What was that voice? ...That can come at a later time, I need to get to school.' Hikaru put away the topic of the unknown voice for a later time and decided to get to school as soon as possible. As if the universe was answering his call, the elevator stopped and opened on the ground floor.
Hikaru took that moment to speed out of the elevator and run to Kuoh Academy, not wanting to be late.

Kuoh Town - Park - 7:18 A.M
(Issei's P.O.V)
As Issei walked to the academy, he couldn't help but sigh. "What am I supposed to do if Rias is still pissed off at me?" Issei questioned himself. Then a black-haired blur sped past him in the direction. Issei was surprised and looked to see the blur was Hikaru running.
"Hey, Hikaru!" Issei called out to the black-haired boy. Hikaru turned around and saw it was Issei calling him. "Yo." Hikaru then speed-walked towards Issei and began walking in pace with him.
"So mind explaining why you were racing to get to school?" Issei asked his fellow peer. "Well..." Hikaru began before hearing a crashing sound to the side.
"HAWA!" A high-pitched voice said. Hikaru and Issei turned towards the sound to see what was going on. As soon as they did, the first thing they saw was white panties. Of course, Issei blushed and continued staring while Hikaru turned around so he wouldn't see.
"Aww, I fell again. I'm such a klutz." The female said as she turned around, revealing herself to be a young girl with long blonde hair and green eyes. The girl wore a dark teal nun's outfit with some light blue accents along with a white veil with light blue accents. She had a satchel slung on her right hip and brown boots. The most notable piece of clothing to Hikaru was the silver cross necklace the girl was wearing.
As Hikaru snapped out of his lightly embarrassed state, he turned towards Issei and got a tick-mark. The reason being was that Issei was still staring at the girl's panties which were completely visible to anyone that would walk by. Hikaru, being the kind of man he is, elbowed Issei in the gut, making the brown-haired pervert double over and clutch his stomach.
"Are you ok?" Hikaru walked towards the girl and put out his hand for her to take. "Oh! Yes, I'm fine." The girl took Hikaru's hand, the boy noticing how gentle her touch was. As she got up, the girl's veil was blown away though Hikaru managed to catch it. Looking back at her, the black-haired boy couldn't help but blush. She was certainly beautiful with her blonde hair and decent body, but it was the eyes that caught Hikaru's attention.
They were pure and vibrant. The color of the girl's eyes reminded Hikaru of a lush forest. There was no foul intent or evil in them, she was kind-hearted and innocent.
"Um..." The girl blushed as Hikaru realized he was holding her hand a bit too long. "Oh, I'm sorry. Here, take it back." Hikaru apologized and gave the veil back to the girl who placed it on her head.
"Thank you, that was very kind." The girl thanked Hikaru. "It's just what anyone would do." Hikaru downplayed his action. "I'm Hikaru Tachibana and this guy is Issei Hyoudou." "Hey." Hikaru introduced himself and Issei. "So what's your name?" Hikaru asked the girl.
"My name is Asia Argento and... do you two think you could help me out, hehe?" The girl revealed her name as Asia and giggled.
"'Argento', that's silver in Italian." Hikaru said. "That's right, is it a problem?" Asia asked the black-haired boy. "No, not at all, it's just that seeing as how your hair is blonde, it would make sense for your last name to be Aurea which means gold." Hikaru gave his response. The girl blushed in response.
"W-well, I suppose that's true..." Asia stuttered, which made Issei blush at how cute she was while Hikaru said the same thing in his head. Hikaru decided to go to the luggage Asia had and carried it.
"O-oh, you don't need to carry it for me." Asia said but Hikaru shook his head. "It's fine, besides you may trip again and I can carry this just fine." Hikaru showed his strength by slinging the suitcase on his right shoulder.
The trio then began walking through the park they were in. "So... are you a tourist?" Issei asked Asia but she shook her head. "No, not really. I was assigned to the nearby church here." She answered.
"Right, so you're a nun. That explains the uniform." Issei said to Asia. "I'm really glad I met some people that can understand me, and you two are kind as well. The Lord must be watching over me." Asia did a prayer with her cross necklace in her hand, causing Issei to flinch and look away, while Hikaru's hand twitched slightly.
Surprised at the reaction from Issei, Asia tried to look at his face. "Is everything ok, Issei-san, Hikaru-san?" She asked the two boys. "We're fine." Hikaru sounded so confident and assuring that Asia just nodded and kept walking with the two boys.
'What the hell was that?' Issei wondered about why he got so scared while Hikaru was thinking this, 'Because we're Devils now, it makes sense that whenever an action related to God happens, we get damaged since Devils are unholy beings.' All of a sudden, the trio of teenagers heard a boy crying. They looked towards the sound which was to the right of them.
They saw a young boy, most likely still in elementary school on the ground because of a scrape on his knee and crying because of it. "Oh, Yosh-kun." A woman came up, most likely the boy's mother. Issei and Hikaru were about to go and help, but Asia beat them to it. She crouched to the crying boy's level and patted him on the head.
"There, there. A big boy like you shouldn't cry because of a wound like this." Asia then placed her hands over the boy's scrape and two silver rings appeared on her fingers.
The rings then began to glow in a green light. Issei and Hikaru then felt a surge of pain in their left and right hands, respectively. Then, almost like magic which it most likely was, the boy's scrape began to heal and vanish as if it was never there. The boy looked in awe at his healed knee.
"See, what did I tell you? You're just fine." Asia closed her eyes and smiled. The boy's mother, in shock at what just happened, grabbed her son's hand and began walking away. This caused Asia to become sad. Then Issei and Hikaru walked up towards her. "It's fine, you helped him, that's what anyone would do." Hikaru complimented Asia with Issei agreeing. The blonde girl only blushed at the two's proud demeanors and stuck her tongue out and closed her eyes in embarrassment.
"Thank you, onee-chan." The boy called out from across the street to the trio, his mom still holding his hand. "Hey kid." The two strangers turned to Hikaru. "One day, make sure to get big and strong, so a scrape like that won't be a problem to you." He smirked at the boy who was at awe at how cool Hikaru seemed to be. "I-I will!" The boy pumped his fist in the air and went with his mom back to their home probably.
"If you were wondering what the kid said, he said 'Thank you, onee-chan'." Hikaru said that to Asia who was glad her help was thanked by and smiled which made her even more cute. "Well, I got to say, that was one cool power." Hikaru complimented Asia's power she just used. "Thank you. I consider it to be a gift from God." She sounded happy, but her eyes seemed nostalgically sad which made Hikaru and Issei confused.
However, Asia went to her usual self and looked up at the hill. "There's the church!" She said. What she was saying was true as there was a large Catholic church just below the peak of the hill. As soon as Hikaru and Issei saw the holy building, a chill fell down their spines.
"You know, that church was abandoned a few years back, so are you sure that's the one you were assigned to?" Hikaru asked Asia. "Yes, I was told to come to the church on the hill. I should thank you two for helping me. Do you want to come inside and have some tea?" She asked the two boys.
"Oh no, we can't. We still have school but thank you for the invitation." Hikaru politely refused the offer and Asia lowered her head in sadness. "Oh. I understand, you two need to get to your educations." She said she understood but she seems to really want Hikaru and Issei to stay with her a bit longer. Hikaru was thinking of a way to please her while also getting to school on time.
"How about this? Whenever we have the chance after school, me and Issei will come visit you at the church and take you out to explore the town. That's a promise." Hikaru promised Asia that they would come when they had enough time. It seemed to please Asia as she brightened up and smiled at Hikaru. "Of course! Well, I'll see you both again soon!" Asia waved goodbye and went to the church.
Issei and Hikaru then went to the direction of Kuoh Academy running as they were starting to get late.
Kuoh Academy - Class 2-B - 9:45 A.M
'Made it in time...' Hikaru thought to himself as he let out a sigh of relief. He wiped off any sweat that was on his face and got ready for the lessons. As he got his papers and writing utensils ready, he began to think about Asia and the power she was using.
'I noticed the rings. They just appeared on her fingers out of nowhere. A Sacred Gear that can heal wounds most likely? It's a possibility...' Hikaru thought about those two rings and how they could be a Sacred Gear.
"That was the Sacred Gear, Twilight Healing. Known as the 'Smile of the Holy Mother', it is a Sacred Gear that can heal all physical lethal wounds. It can also be used on all races, Devils, Fallen Angels and Angels included. It's been a while since I saw a user that had that gear." The draconic voice that was heard when Hikaru was in the elevator suddenly came back, startling the black-haired boy in his head while he kept up his focused appearance.
'Who are you? Considering the fact that no one heard you just now, you must be in my head.' Hikaru mentally spoke to the voice.
"Well, this is interesting. You're taking this a lot better than some of my other hosts did." The voice humoredly spoke. 'Considering I managed to awaken my Sacred Gears, along with the fact I have Eclipse Driver, the Black Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet, you must be the Black Dragon Emperor.' Hikaru made a conclusion in his head to the voice.
"HAHAHAHAHA! You truly are a puzzling one, Hikaru Tachibana. But you are correct. I am the Black Dragon Emperor, the Black Dragon of Extinction, Bahamut. It's a pleasure to meet my new host for a while." The voice, now revealing himself to be Bahamut, the Black Dragon Emperor, spoke. Hikaru raised a mental eyebrow.
'For a while? You make it sound like that you're going to find another host for you to hold your power.' Hikaru pondered.
"Unfortunately, I cannot leave your body. Whenever a Sacred Gear with a being sealed inside it is made, the being is unable to escape the gear forever. Also if I were to leave you, you will die as a Sacred Gear is part of a person's soul. When the Sacred Gear is removed, you are tearing out that piece of the soul. However, you possess two Sacred Gears, so there is a possibility for you to survive if either one of them is to be removed." Bahamut gave a large explanation on how Sacred Gears affect a person's body, albeit spiritually because there are a lot of Sacred Gears that change a person's physical state which he didn't want to go into.
'So how does your Sacred Gear work? I've already got the basics from what Buchou (2) told me about your gear but I want to hear from you.' Hikaru asked as he was doing his notes, showing a capability of multitasking.
"Well, as you already know, my Sacred Gear uses exponents to multiply my host's or their allies' power. It can range from something like 1 to an infinite amount of numbers." Hikaru did a mental double-back on what Bahamut said. An infinite amount of numbers? How broken is that?!
"Well, thank you for the somewhat true compliment, but yes I can do that. Also whenever my host reaches the maximum limit of multipliers, all that power will be released and flow through their bodies, this is called Ignition." Bahamut continued to explain as Hikaru mentally listened while his body automatically wrote down notes on what the teacher was talking about.
"Also, there is another ability that all Sacred Gears have the aptitude to reach. It is called Balance Breaker. Essentially a bug in the Sacred Gear system, it is a Sacred Gear's final form. It can be acquired through physical training, mental sharpening or some kind of emotional event to the user." Bahamut then talked about Balance Breaker, the strongest form a Sacred Gear can take.
'So are all Balance Breakers the same or are they different in appearance? What's your Balance Breaker?' Hikaru asked Bahamut who simply chuckled.
"All Balance Breakers are separate from each other, no Balance Breaker is the same as another one. As for my Balance Breaker, it is called the Eclipse Driver Scale Mail. A jet-black armor made in the visage of me that most of my hosts have been able to achieve." Bahamut sounded proud of what his Balance Breaker was.
'Armor, huh? Sounds pretty interesting.' Hikaru was wondering how Bahamut's armor would look on him and if he had to say, was hoping he could unlock Balance Breaker early to see it.
*DING DONG DING DONG*
"Dismissed, class." As soon as those two words were said, all the people in Hikaru's class began talking to each other or exiting the room. Hikaru looked over to Issei and saw that he was packing his stuff to go to the ORC. Doing the same, Hikaru got up from his desk and left the room.
Kuoh Academy - Second Floor - 2:35 P.M
"You must never go near the church again, you two." Rias sternly said to the two boys. "But why?" Issei asked. "For Devils, the church is enemy territory, simply stepping inside would cause problems for Angels and Devils. You two had to have sensed something telling you to be careful." The red-haired girl explained.
"So that's what it was. When I saw the church, I felt a chill and my left hand began to tense up." Issei realized the danger of being near the church. "It was little but I could sense something off with me when we were near the church." Hikaru said as he looked at his right hand.
"Those were your Devil instincts telling you that danger is nearby." Rias leaned on the railing that was made to prevent people from falling. "Being in close contact with someone from the church is very risky, and what is even more dangerous is that some exorcists with the church can use Sacred Gears. They could seriously hurt you." Rias explained the true risk of being in contact with anyone from a church.
Hikaru and Issei then remembered Asia and her Sacred Gear that she used to heal the kid. Issei began to have doubts while Hikaru got slightly mad at what Rias was implying, 'So what? Just because we're Devils, that means that we can't try to live life as humans and make friends? Even if they're from the church?' Hikaru's hand clenched in slight frustration.
"Hikaru, Issei, are you both listening?" Rias asked the two boys. Issei was startled while Hikaru was focused on her. "Yeah, we're listening." Hikaru simply said. "Understand that when a Devil receives a Devil purge, they are completely wiped out. The end of the line. You can never come back from that, do you two understand?" Rias asked the two.
Issei looked to the side. "Yeah, I got it." Hikaru's eyes were covered by his hair. "Crystal clear." He simply said.
"I'm sorry. I got too worked up. I just want you two to be more careful, that is all." Rias then took her leave, allowing Issei and Hikaru to gather any thoughts they have.
Kuoh Academy - Occult Research Club - 5:56 P.M
As the sun began to set, we see Hikaru and Issei in the Occult Research Club packing away their homework. As the two did their thing, Hikaru started thinking on what Rias was talking about.
'That seemed too impulsive to be a lesson we needed to understand. This goes way beyond just safety. You seem...jealous, Rias. You're jealous because a girl from the church managed to become friends with us. But at that topic... it looks I can't keep my promise, Asia. Sorry.' Hikaru then began thinking about Asia for a little bit.
"You know, she isn't pissed off at you two. She's just worried for her new servants." Akeno suddenly appeared between Issei and Hikaru behind the couch, startling them. "Jeez. If you want to talk, let us know you're here first." Hikaru told Akeno who just giggled at the two teens' reactions. Rias then came through the door, opening and closing the left side.
"You're still here? I thought you went back home for today." Rias asked Akeno why she was still here. Akeno then became more serious. "There's been a message from the Archduke." "The Archduke?" Hikaru and Issei didn't who or what the Archduke is, but they assumed that they were a Devil with more power than Rias.
"It's urgent. A Stray Devil has been causing trouble in nearby districts." As this was said, Rias' expression became serious at what Akeno was saying.
Kuoh Town - Abandoned Warehouse - 7:17 P.M
As the sky turned to night, we see the ORC walking towards an abandoned area, more specifically a warehouse. As they did, Kiba decided to explain what are Stray Devils to Hikaru and Issei.
"Stray Devils originally start out as Devil servants." "Like us?" Issei interrupted. "Well, not exactly. Once in a while, a Devil rebels against their master and potentially kill them to gain freedom. And then they become Strays." Kiba managed to explain in simple terms so Issei could understand but Hikaru knew what Stray Devils really were.
Stray rabid dogs that went insane with power and must be put out of their misery.
The ORC finally reached the warehouse. Outside, it looked somewhat fine, but inside is where the real trouble begins. "According to reports, this Stray Devil has been luring people here and eating them." Issei reacted with disgust while Hikaru's eyes narrowed in anger.
"This job shouldn't be too hard. We just have to find the beast and kill it." The way Akeno casually said that unnerved Issei while Hikaru was fine. In this line of work, sometimes you need to get your hands dirty.
The ORC then goes inside to the warehouse and begins exploring to find the Stray. "These monsters are pure evil. They don't care about anything or anyone except themselves. That will always end in ugliness." Issei looked around completely fine thanks to a Devil's night vision.
"Issei, Hikaru." Rias said their names. "Yes, Buchou?" Hikaru asked. "Are either of you familiar with the game of chess?" She 'randomly' asked the boys. "Well, I have kind of. I completely suck at it though." Issei said.
Hikaru however took a few seconds to think a response, "Played it before in middle school with the chess club. There are eight pawns, two knights, two rooks, two bishops, one queen and one king. Each piece has a unique way as to how it moves on the board. The pawn can also promote to any other piece expect the king whenever you reach the opponent's side." Hikaru gave a complete foreground to his knowledge on chess.
Rias smiled at Hikaru. "Smart boy." She complimented. Hikaru had no response while inside, he was a little glad someone recognized his understanding. "As the master of my Peerage, I am the king. My empress, the queen. My cavalry, the knight. My tank, the rook. My clergymen, the bishop. And my foot soldier, the pawn." As she said that, visages of Koneko, Kiba and Akeno appeared inside Hikaru's head to help him visualize what Rias was saying.
"Devils with titles of nobility can grant the characteristics of these pieces to one of their servants." Issei complimented how cool that sounded. "We have a special name for these pieces. We call them Evil Pieces." The ORC was slightly scattered but still together, looking for the stray still.
"So is there a reason why you're telling us this now?" Hikaru asked Rias, considering they're on a job right now. "I want both of you to hang from the sidelines as you watch my Devils battle tonight." Rias told the two boys. Issei agreed while Hikaru was a bit apprehensive mentally. He understands him and Issei are new and therefore don't have much battle experience, but there's still strength in numbers.
The group finally reached a large set of sliding doors. Koneko lightly smelled the air. "Blood." She stated. That word scared Issei slightly while Hikaru questioned how she smelled that, but then again, right now he's sensing a lot of bloodlust and strange aura from behind the doors. Hikaru walked up and opened the doors, allowing the group to walk inside to the large open field of the warehouse.
Then large rumblings could heard, shaking the ground. "I wonder what is that sour scent... but something smells delicious too... I'm wondering if it will taste sweet or bitter!" A floating woman then came out from behind one of the pillars. She had long black hair and was completely topless. Issei, considering his tastes, perved out.
"I see boobs!" Issei was then elbowed in the stomach by Hikaru. This wasn't the time to be ogling. "Viser, you wretch. You betrayed your master and ran away and have fallen into your carnal desires. Your sins are worth a thousand hells." Hikaru was wondering why Rias was talking, in battle, talking is not something you do as it leaves you open for attacks.
"In the name of the great Gremory family, begone or face death!" Rias then pointed at Viser. "Just give it a rest, you little slut. You always had it out for me. You're just jealous your breasts won't be as luscious as mine~!" Viser then began to fondle her breasts.
"This will be your final warning. Go back to your master now!" Rias ordered. Viser just kept fondling her own breasts. "So...this is a Stray Devil? She looks like some late night super cable-star." Issei blushed and had a dumb smile on his face. Viser chose that time to fully come out from behind the pillar unveiling her bottom.
It was large and monstrous. There were two human-like claws meant to walk. There was a large patch of hair around the area where Viser's top half meets the bottom and there was a large blue gem in the middle. The way the body was connected looked like ribs. There was also some kind of snake tail. Issei, completely not expecting this, takes a step back.
"Did you see what I meant? When I said it ends up in ugliness, I wasn't kidding you." "Now isn't the time to say 'I told you so'!" Hikaru snapped at Kiba's talking. Viser still kept fondling her breasts.
"She does have a nice rack though. Seriously a wasteee-what is going on?!" Issei started talking about Riser's boobs before noticing her nipples were beginning to harden to an unbelievable size and there were magic circles surrounding them.
Viser then screamed and the magic circles increased in size. All of a sudden, her nipples began firing lasers at the group. Everyone ducked except for Issei and Hikaru, though Issei was pulled down by Rias. Everyone noticed the beams were going straight for Hikaru, right on the head.
"Hikaru, get down!" Rias yelled out. However, Hikaru surprised everyone by dodging all the lasers that were aimed at his head by moving his head to evade them. The lasers hit the wall behind Hikaru and began melting the surface of it. "Is that all?" Hikaru emotionlessly asked, not fazed by what the lasers could do. "Ok, this is one porno I do not want to be in!" Issei yelled.
"Please be careful, you two. Kiba!" Rias ordered Hikaru and Issei to be vigilant and called out to Kiba. The blonde boy nodded and slightly pulled out the European sword he had on his hip, vanishing from sight.
"Woah! He just vanished!?" Issei asked in shock. However, Hikaru could tell that wasn't the case. The black-haired boy could keep up with Kiba's fast movements no problem at all. "He didn't. He simply moved so fast the eye couldn't keep track of him." Rias began to explain. "In this version of chess, Kiba is my Knight. His main attribute is speed." Kiba then reappeared in front of Viser and drew his sword. "His ultimate weapon is the sword." Kiba then sliced off Viser's arms, blood spraying from the now stubs.
Koneko then began to walk up to Viser without any care for safety. "Koneko, be careful!" Issei yelled out for her safety. Viser then began to transform, her face going from a beautiful woman to a true monster. The rib part of her large body opened up to unveil huge teeth. The stray, now in her transformed state, charged at Koneko in rage, the rib teeth completely swallowing the white-haired girl. Issei was in shock while Hikaru was startled.
"No need to worry." Rias however was calm, not at all worried at her servant's potential death. Viser's rib teeth were then being forcefully pushed, until they opened to show Koneko, alive and well, though her clothes were a bit torn and she was covered in saliva. "Koneko is my Rook, her attribute is simple but effective, an indomitable strength. "An attack like that won't even scuff her." Koneko still had her emotionless face on as she held the teeth open.
"Fly." Koneko said one word and turned around, punching Viser into the air and destroying her rib teeth. The stray crashed into a pillar, completely destroying it. "Mental note to self, don't piss her off." "You can say that again." Issei said with Hikaru agreeing with him.
"Akeno." Rias asked her fellow vise-president. "Ara, ara, is it my turn? So exciting. I really love this game." Akeno then walked towards the monster Viser, still smiling with her eyes closed. Unbeknownst to them, Viser's arms began to contort and float, each one heading for Rias and Akeno. "Watch out!" Issei tried to run and help but wouldn't make it.
Hikaru however, sped towards Rias first, punching the arm into the wall with Eclipse Driver and then vanished from sight. He reappeared next to Akeno and sliced the arm into pieces with Light Exceed Buster.
"That was close. Simply because they're down for the count, that doesn't mean your enemy will try any tricks on you." Hikaru chose to give some advice to expect the unexpected to Rias and Akeno who both looked slightly sheepish. "Thank you for that, Hikaru." Rias thanked Hikaru for the save. "Ara, ara, such skill." Akeno complimented Hikaru's fast reactions.
"No need to thank me. Just pay more attention." Hikaru then went back to Issei, watching from the side.
"Akeno, mind finishing her off please?" Rias asked her friend. Akeno had her back to everyone until the camera turned to show the black-haired girl with a sultry gaze and a smile, but there was something hidden in it. "You're not the only one that likes to play around, you know. So let's have some fun, ufufu~." Yellow electricity began to emanate from the black-haired girl's hands.
"Akeno is my Queen. Her attribute is a perfect blend of the other three pieces. She's just unbeatable." Viser was on the ground, a puddle of drool beneath her as her mouth was open. Akeno then raised up both of her hands, the electricity from them beginning to spark even more. "You're certainly a tough girl. But that just means I get to enjoy myself more~!" A bright bolt of lightning erupted from Akeno's hands, striking Viser and electrocuting her.
"Her weapon is a dark magical power but that isn't all..." As Rias trailed off, Hikaru began to notice Akeno was acting a bit off. She was blushing and grabbing the hem of her skirt, and her smile showed that she was enjoying what was happening. "This violence, it's getting me all hot~!" The black-haired girl licked her lips in satisfaction.
"She is the ultimate sadist." Rias finished her talk about Akeno, Hikaru and Issei watching the girl in question continuing to shock Viser with her magic. "Is this fun for you as it is for me~?" Akeno questioned, still using her lightning to electrocute Viser.
"I'm starting to get a bit scared." Issei quivered. "Don't worry, you two." Rias tried to reassure the two boys. "She only shows this side to any of her enemies. Plus, she did consider you two cute before you met. Let her spoil you a bit when there's a chance, she might hug you later." Hikaru only backed up a bit to show his distrust of that sentence.
"Akeno, I believe she's had enough." After Rias said that, Akeno stopped using her magic and turned around with flushed cheeks. "Aw~, over already? I was just beginning to feel good." She said. Rias then walked up to the charred Viser with confidence.
"So, are there any last words before we end this?" The red-haired girl asked the monster. "Go... to... hell." The stray said. Rias then summoned a red magic circle in front of her body. "I live there." Rias said with a smile as a black bolt of lightning with a crimson outline shot out of the magic circle, completely erasing Viser from existence, not even ashes remained.
Hikaru and Issei were amazed at how easy Rias erased Viser along with the powerful magic she used. "We're done here now." Rias stated. The girl then turned around to face everyone with a small smile. "Let's go home." Everyone except for Hikaru and Issei agreed. Issei then raised his hand. "Hold on a bit." He asked. "What's wrong?" Rias asked.
"What piece are we? Me and Hikaru." Issei asked what piece he was along with Hikaru. If the black-haired boy was honest, he would admit he would like to know what piece he is.
"You are a pawn, Issei. And for you, Hikaru, you are a special piece. A Vanguard." She stated and continued walking. Issei voiced out his complaints that he didn't want to be a Pawn while Rias just apologized and stated that was what he is. Hikaru was busy thinking about the piece he was.
There was no such piece called a Vanguard in the real game of chess, meaning that it was most likely made as an unofficial Evil Piece. Some kind of prototype for a future piece? Perhaps, but Hikaru didn't care much about that, he was thinking about the meaning of a vanguard.
A vanguard is a person or group at the head of a leading force, the front-lines. Meaning that Hikaru would have to become Rias' Vanguard, her servant that would pave the way forward for her sake.

Kuoh Town - Unknown Client's House - 7:29 P.M
As Hikaru came into existence from the teleportation circle, he looked around to see his surroundings. Unlike the last time when fulfilling Yuina's request, he was outside the client's house instead of being summoned in a room of the building. He decided to wait for Issei to come as Rias decided that he and Issei should take this client together for some reason.
As he waited, the black-haired boy decided to talk to Bahamut some more.
'Oy, can you hear me? It's me, Hikaru.' Hikaru mentally said. He then felt something rumble before Bahamut's voice came into existence.
"It's you again. So do you have any more questions for me to answer?" The great dragon asked. Hikaru mentally shook his head before saying, 'No, I just wanted to talk to you a bit to pass the time.' Hikaru said. The dragon hummed in thought before talking. "You simply wish to pass the time through conversation? Very well, it's the only thing we can do right now." Bahamut said. Hikaru nodded in gratitude.
'So if you were within my soul since I was born, that means you've seen everything I've seen?' Hikaru questioned, wondering if Bahamut really was with him since the beginning. The dragon inside Hikaru chuckled which sounded like a deep rumble inside of Hikaru's core.
"Yes, I have seen most of the memories you have made up to this point. You were certainly different back when you were younger, but now, you're a true warrior." The dragon said, causing Hikaru to chuckle. 'I was a bit on the shy side, and I got bullied a few times. But Dad helped me, he made me realize some things.'
"Like what?" The dragon asked, wondering what his host's father had to say.
'Back when I was 7, after being beat up because the bullies thought I was weird due to the book I was reading, a fantasy one, my dad told me that it was ok to dream. It was fine for people to mock your goals, because in the end, the one that determines whether you reach your goals or not is you and only you, no one can decide that.' Hikaru had a nostalgic smile as he remembered those words, Bahamut going silent to allow his host to think.
A light then began coming from the right of Hikaru, so he turned to look. It was Issei on his bike, pedaling towards Hikaru and the client's house. Hikaru, deciding to have a little bit of fun, smirked. "Hey there, Bicycle Devil. You know, it's faster to use teleportation circles to go in person. Oh wait, right, you can't use any magic right now." Hikaru figured it worked seeing the tick-mark on Issei's head.
"Hey! Just because you can teleport, that doesn't mean I won't be able to in the future, asshat!" Issei yelled with a scowl. Hikaru was unfazed by this. "Well, anyways, let's stop with the jokes. We have a client's request to fulfill." Both Hikaru and Issei walked towards the client's home, Issei ringing the bell. Hikaru noticed something off when the bell was rung. He could hear it from inside. Actually, the door was already slightly open.
Hikaru took some initiative and twisted the knob, opening the door. "It's unlocked? That doesn't seem safe." Issei said. "Come on." Hikaru made a hand gesture for Issei to come inside. "Uh, hello. We're the Devils that were sent by Rias Gremory." Issei said into the empty house. Hikaru and Issei then noticed some light coming from one of the rooms in the hallway. The two boys walked in, not taking off their shoes either because they didn't think about it, or how this situation seems strange.
The two teens looked at each other. All of a sudden, a huge chill ran through their bodies. Unlike the last few times, this chill told them to run away or potentially die.
'That feeling. It was just like when we saw Asia use her power and Sacred Gear, but could she be...? No, it can't be her. This seems slightly different than when Asia was with us. This aura is more... bloodthirsty.' Hikaru grimly stated in his head, he and Issei still standing where they are.
"If you're home, could you please say something?" Issei asked into the darkness. Hikaru and Issei then remembered why they were sent here to fulfill the request.
(Flashback)
"Koneko is overloaded with summon requests and one of them asked for two Devils to come. Can I ask you both to handle it?" Rias asked Hikaru and Issei to fulfill this specific client's request.
"Uh, sure. No problem." Issei said as Hikaru nodded his agreement. "Good, just make sure that one of you manages to bring back a pact." Rias said, the sentence sounding like an order. "Whatever you do, please don't disappoint me." Rias sounded apathetic as she said that for some reason, confusing Issei and Hikaru.
"We'll try our best." Hikaru said, his hand slightly clenching at the expectation set.
(Flashback End)
We're then brought back to the client's home with Hikaru and Issei still inside. Issei looked a bit put off while Hikaru seemed emotionless.
'If we just decide to turn back, there's no way I can face Buchou.' Issei then looked back up with a face of determination, turning around and closing the door. "Please don't be freaked out, we're coming inside." Issei took off his shoes while Hikaru kept them on. The boys then walked into the hallway and into the room with light's doorway. Hikaru offhandedly noticed that no lightbulbs were on, only candles lit up the space.
"Well, it's certainly a mood." Hikaru commented as he and Issei looked around before continuing to walk. Issei then stepped onto something wet with a squelch. "Ah man, now I gotta clean these." Issei complained as Hikaru crouched before putting his fingers to see what the liquid was. It was dark and Hikaru couldn't make out its actual color due to the dim lighting. However, he smelled something from the sticky liquid. It was like copper, a metallic scent.
"This is... blood?" Hikaru grimly questioned as he and Issei looked towards where the liquid was coming from. There were a few black bits in the puddle of apparent blood. Then the two realized the horrid answer.
It was a man, pinned to the wall with his guts coming out of his stomach and eyes gouged out. The way the corpse was pinned was in the shape of an inverted cross, a symbol for Christianity. Issei covered his mouth so he wouldn't throw up due to the sight while Hikaru swallowed his vomit and covered his nose.
"Holy shit..." Issei muttered, the words muffled due to his mouth being covered.
"Punish the wicked." A male voice said to the left of Hikaru and Issei. They noticed a young white-haired man around their age, give or take a year or two older sitting on the couch with his legs crossed. "Words to live by. Yes, certainly wise advice to heed from a holy man." The unknown man threw their head back, showing he had blood-red eyes and a crazed expression, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Hikaru and Issei took a step back, Hikaru summoning Eclipse Driver, prepared for a fight.
The man then got up from the couch and began walking towards Hikaru and Issei, each step he took causing the two Devils to back away.
"Well, well. You just walked into the wrong house, my friends. Freed Sellzen, at your acquaintance." The man, now known as Freed, did a bow to Hikaru and Issei. Freed then rose from his bow and began dancing crazily. "And you two must be the pussies whose Devil asses this holy priest is going to exorcise!" The crazed Freed finished up his dance, his right fist on his hip.
"A priest?!" Issei exclaimed, Hikaru in his mind doubting that this psycho is a priest. "Yep, that's right. I'm under the hire of a certain Devil purging organization you two may have heard of." Freed said in his baritone voice, his red eyes shining in the dim light.
"Why you...so you're the one that did that!" Hikaru yelled out, his clawed hand pointing to the pinned up corpse. "Summoning the both of you was proof that he was done being a human." Freed flipped a middle finger and turned to his handiwork, "End of the line sinner!" The white-haired man turned back to Hikaru and Issei, Hikaru now summoning both Dark Exceed Buster and Light Exceed Buster in his hands.
"So I had to cut him up into itty-bitty pieces." The psycho priest sounded childish as he said that. Freed then crossed his arms. "Putting down Devil degenerates and the lost souls who would try to summon them is my job." Freed then pulled two items from his trench coat, a silver gun and gold bladeless hilt. "And no one is better at slaying Devil scum than me!" A white beam of light came out of the hilt, forming into a blade of light.
"A sword of light!?" Issei yelled. Freed then took a threatening step forward, snapping Hikaru into action and making him get into a fighting stance with his swords.
"First off, I'm going to cut out your black hearts with my blade of light! Then I'll use my righteous gun to blow your scummy brains out! How does that sound, you shitty Devils?! GRRAAHHH!" Freed leaped towards Hikaru and Issei in a flash, surprising the two with his speed. Hikaru's eyes hardened. The black-haired boy blocked Freed's attack with Dark Exceed Buster, then kicked the psycho away from Issei and himself, though he soon got back on his feet.
Freed then took aim with his gun. "KERBLAM! KERBLAM! KERBLAM!" He fired multiple shots at Hikaru and Issei, the black-haired boy deflecting them with his swords. But eventually, two bullets hit their marks and struck Hikaru and Issei, the two screaming in agony. Issei fell, holding his ankle while Hikaru supported himself with his blades.
"These silver bullets have blessed by an exorcist." Freed explained how his gun's bullets were so effective. "How do they taste, you two?!" Hikaru and Issei stared at him with hatred.
""Why you!"" Issei summoned his Sacred Gear as Hikaru's Eclipse Driver called out. 'Drive 40!' "Drive!" The two boys backed up to each other.
"Oooooh, are the Devils mad now? I guess it's time for Freed Sellzen to send you both back to the abyss where you came from!" Issei charged forward, trying to punch the psychotic priest with his gloved hand. Freed simply side-stepped but then Hikaru came out slashing with his swords, Freed deflecting them and kicked Hikaru's feet from underneath him.
"You're too weak!" Freed then slashed the boys' backs with his sword of light, making Hikaru and Issei yell in pain as Issei fell to the floor while Hikaru supported himself again with his blades.
"Getting a guy worked up and leaving him half-cocked just like that?" Freed asked as he raised up his sword. "That isn't any way for a lady to treat a gentleman like myself!" Freed was prepared to slice off Hikaru and Issei's heads until a voice screamed.
"KYAAAAAAAAHHH!" Hikaru remembered whose voice that was. The trio of males looked toward the sound to reveal it was Asia, still wearing her nun clothes looking at the corpse pinned on the wall. "What the... Asia, what are you doing here?" Freed questioned the girl. "Are you already done with the barrier?" The white-haired man continued to ask as Asia still looked at the corpse in horror.
"P-please, please don't do this..." Asia said. Freed realized that Asia was a newbie to all of this. "Right, I forgot you're a new addition. So let me explain, my dear. We kill any unfortunate souls that have been bewitched by all of the Devil scum." Asia turned to face Freed and noticed Hikaru and Issei, her eyes widening in shock.
"No, it can't be..." She muttered. "Asia, we..." Issei tried to speak but was interrupted by Freed. "What's happening? Do you three all know each other?" The man asked.
"Hikaru-san, Issei-san, why are you both here?" She questioned the two boys. Realizing that this was a chance to distract Freed and get back in the fight, Hikaru turned around to face Asia, his hand covering his gunshot wound in seemingly pain, when in actuality, he was trying to pull out the bullet that was stuck in his ankle.
"We're here... because we're Devils, Asia." "Yeah." Hikaru and Issei looked down in shame and guilt, Asia's eyes widening further at the revelation. Hikaru continued to try and take out the bullet, grabbing a hold of it and starting to pull it out while ordering Bahamut to silently Drive and boost Hikaru's healing factor, unknowingly making the cut on Hikaru's back slightly steam and beginning to close up.
"N-no...no, it can't be true!" Asia said in denial. "We didn't want to lie to you, we swear. We swear we didn't..." Issei trailed off, looking to the side, unknowingly giving Hikaru more time to pull out the bullet and heal, now Hikaru was halfway there.
"That was the reason why we decided we shouldn't meet each other again, the truth would break you. Please forgive us." Hikaru stated, almost done pulling out the bullet and now his gunshot wound was closing up slightly. Asia was in tears and covering her mouth.
"Not that this isn't heartwarming, but you and your friends have no business together, understand? The Fallen Angel Dohnaseek has expressly stated that there is to be no contact between our kind and theirs. Have you already forgotten that?" Freed questioned, his crazed smile back on his face.
'Fallen Angels? Dohnaseek? He's behind all this!? Damn it, need to get this done fast!' Hikaru mentally yelled, finally pulling out the holy bullet and gently laying it on the ground so no sound would be made. His wound started to heal up faster than when the bullet was still in.
"Now then, shall we go ahead and do what we came here to do?" Freed put his blade around Hikaru and Issei's necks, the boys flinching due to the proximity. "Not that it matters, but I hope you've made all your prayers, shitty Devils!" Freed raised up his sword and swung down, Hikaru jumping up and crouching down before summoning Light Exceed Buster. However, he was surprised when Asia put herself between the sword of light and Hikaru and Issei.
"Asia?" Hikaru said. The girl in question had some tears in her eyes, but her facial expression was one of determination. "You must be fucking kidding me." Freed frustratedly said. "Please, don't hurt them. I beg you for mercy. Forgive these two's sins, Father Freed. Can't we just let them go?" As tears fell from her eyes, Asia begged Freed to let Hikaru and Issei go.
"Those things aren't men, they're Devils and you made a pledge to defeat all Devils, remember?" Freed asked Asia who was shaking but she still spoke. "It doesn't matter to me what they are, there is good within the two of them, I know it! You can't just kill them! Do you really believe the Lord would approve of this?!" Freed was beginning to shake in anger.
"Enough of this BULLSHIT!" Freed slashed at Asia, Hikaru believing she was hurt and moved forward but instead all of her top clothes were cut off, including her bra which meant her breasts were out for all to see. Asia gasped and covered herself.
"Don't you dare touch her!" Issei tried to charge but his bullet wound stopped him. "You've lost your fucking mind, slut! Are there maggots inside that stupid head of yours?" Freed then cupped Asia's face with his hand, angering Hikaru and making Bahamut inside him growl. She was then lifted into the air by Freed's hand.
"That's enough!" Hikaru prepared to fight with Light Exceed Buster. "Dohnaseek said that I wasn't allowed to harm you in any way physically, but now I don't give a flying fuck!" Freed then grabbed Asia's right wrist, making her scream. "You know what happens to naughty girls, don't you?" The psychotic priest pinned Asia to the wall with his blade of light, keeping her in the air.
"Asia!" Issei tried getting up again but he fell still. Hikaru could feel his anger getting out of control and his sight was blurring. Freed began to fondle Asia's left breast and pressed his gun's barrel against her crotch.
"Why shouldn't an upstanding priest do whatever he wants with a filthy tramp like you? That's not wrong, is it?" Freed continued to violate Asia, making her cry and shake her hand. This pushed Hikaru over the edge.
"I SAID...ENOUGH!" Hikaru showed his eyes which were now a crimson red with two cross-slits in them, making him look draconic. The black-haired boy then charged at Freed stabbing Light Exceed Buster into his side which made the white-haired man cry out in pain. Hikaru let out a battle cry of rage, pushing Freed down to the ground before pulling out his sword.
Hikaru went over to Asia and removed the light blade, allowing Asia to fall down before being caught by Hikaru. The black-haired boy took off his blazer, placing it on Asia's shoulders and allowing her to cover up. Hikaru then saw Issei getting back up, fighting through the pain.
"Here." Issei looked up to see Hikaru holding his hand out to him. Issei grabbed the hand before being pulled up. He began to shake slightly and tip before Hikaru helped him keep balance. The two boys looked over to Freed, back up but with a bleeding wound on his side. "I have to admit, I'm impressed that you managed to injure me this much. So let's see if I can go for a new record. How many pieces of meat can I chop the both of you INTO?!" Freed jumped, his sword of light ready to slash at Hikaru and Issei.
Issei tumbled due to his wound while Hikaru was prepared to block. However, a red flash of light shined in front of Hikaru and Issei, turning into a magic circle with a familiar symbol. Kiba then came out of the circle, clashing swords with Freed. "Kiba? What in the hell?" Hikaru muttered. "Hey, you two. Sorry we're late, thought you could use a hand." Kiba talked to the boys, still clashing with Freed.
Akeno came out next and soon, Koneko. "Ara, ara, what a mess." Akeno held her hand up to her mouth in surprise. "An exorcist." Koneko stated, still emotionless as ever. Issei eye's started to water up and smile. "You guys came." Freed jumped from Kiba, not caring about his wound from Hikaru.
"Hell yeah! Now we have a good old gang-bang going!" Freed yelled out to the Devils. "I'm afraid you're done here. Sorry to disappoint you, but the two of them are with us." Kiba said, referring to Hikaru and Issei. Freed still had his crazy smile.
"Oh trust me, I am far from being disappointed. So tell me, you're the pitcher and they're the catchers?" Freed seemingly asked. Kiba was unfazed. "For a priest, that's a seriously vulgar mouth you have there." Freed just shrugged, uncaring. "Who are you, my momma? Get off your high horse, Devil douchebag, hunting your kind is my only concern, I don't give two fucks what I can or can't say!" Freed said. Akeno observed all this with a smile.
"Ara, ara, you're certainly a piece of work, huh?" Akeno opened her eyes, looking at Freed. The psycho priest seemed to enjoy the attention he was getting. "And you, my dear are certainly a hot piece of ass and tits. Ahh, those eyes of yours gazing at me, there is nothing I lust for more than a sexy Devil bitch!" Freed hugged himself, his face blushing.
"If you want one, then come and get one." Rias' voice echoed, her Power of Destruction surging out of the circle and right at Freed. The white-haired man ducked to the side, screaming. Rias was then shown in front of Hikaru and Issei with a magic circle raised up. The circle soon faded out of existence.
"But I don't think you'll be able to handle it. No one hurts my servants." Rias said. "Buchou..." Hikaru muttered. Freed got back up, Kiba in front of him prepared for the man to attack. "Well, well, look who finally showed their tits? But don't get ahead of yourself, I already hurt them!" Freed boastfully yelled to Rias. The red-haired girl then turned to Hikaru and Issei with a soft gaze.
"You're both fine now, I'm here." Issei looked down in thanks but also shame. "Thank you for saving us. I'm sorry I let all of you down again." Issei's hair begun shadowing his eyes. "I tried but I still failed." Rias then lifted up Hikaru and Issei's heads up.
"Look at how hurt the two of you are." Hikaru and Issei looked at Rias, her face one of sadness. "I should be the one whose sorry. I sent you two into the hands of a mad exorcist and I never even knew." The scene faded to Asia, still using Hikaru's blazer to cover herself. "There was a barrier in place until a few minutes ago so we didn't realize." Freed then begun kicking Asia, the psycho priest's face in an angry expression.
"You useless brat! You were supposed to make a barrier, you little bitch! Just die!" Freed continued to kick Asia, Hikaru's eyes turning back into the dragon eyes when he stabbed Freed.
"DON'T YOU HURT HER!" Hikaru charged, slashing at Freed with Light Exceed Buster though the man just dodged. "Is that all?" The man asked, cocky at his opponent's miss. Hikaru's eyes narrowed and began glowing more. Then a huge gash in the wall and on Freed's body soon appeared. The man fell to the ground, clutching his second wound. Hikaru began to pant in anger.
"I never forgive people who dare to harm my servants, nor do I forgive people who pick on the weak." Rias looked at Freed who was still on the floor. "And I especially don't tolerate wretches such as you. Your evil has no place in this world." A crimson aura began emanating from Rias. "That's why I'm here to purge it!" Freed backed up, even with his gash.
"Well shit. Big Red could be a bit of a problem. I might need back-up for this." We then see Koneko who is holding up the couch that Freed was sitting on earlier. The school mascot sniffed the air slightly. "Fallen Angels are coming." She stated. A vortex-like portal began appearing in the air, Freed laughing crazily.
"Alright! Just in the nick of time too! I hope you're all hungry because Light Spears are on the menu!" The portal got larger and larger. Akeno turned towards Rias.
"So what do we do?" The black-haired girl asked her leader. "Right now, we just need to get Issei and Hikaru out of here. Akeno, get ready to jump!" Akeno nodded, preparing a teleportation circle. Hikaru's eyes soon widened.
"Wait! Hold on, we can't just leave Asia!" "Yeah, we got to bring her with us!" Hikaru stated, Issei agreeing with the black-haired boy. "Koneko, Kiba, make sure we have Issei and Hikaru with us." Koneko threw away the couch and picked up Issei, the couch hitting Freed. Kiba tried to pull Hikaru up but the boy wasn't having it.
"Don't touch me!" Hikaru slapped Kiba's hand away and got up, his wounds fully healed. He walked towards Rias. "Buchou, please, we have to bring Asia, she isn't like them. Please, I beg you!" Hikaru's hands were clenching enough to draw blood. Rias only shook her head.
"I'm afraid that only members of my household are able to jump with this magic circle. It won't work." "Then leave me! I can take Asia to the Academy, the Fallen Angels shouldn't be able to do anything if they don't want to risk war!" Hikaru yelled, not wanting to abandon Asia to her fate. Rias looked at the black-haired boy with a stern gaze.
"You will not do such a thing, understand?" Rias ordered Hikaru, his teeth clenching. The boy then turned to Asia. "I'm not giving up on you, you hear?! I'll bring you back if it's the last thing I do!" Hikaru said to Asia. Issei was trying to get out of Koneko's grip, wanting to grab Asia and bring her with them but to no avail. "Please, listen to Hikaru! We can't leave her, we just can't!"
Asia just looked at Hikaru and Issei with tears in her eyes but a smile on her face. "Just go without me, I'll see the two of you soon. Trust me, I will..." Asia closed her eyes, a tear leaking out her right eye. Hikaru's eyes widened along with Issei.
""ASIA!"" The boys screamed, Hikaru reaching out with his right hand but the magic circle was done and the ORC was teleported back to Kuoh Academy.

Hikaru's Current Harem
Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Asia, Murayama, Katase, Raynare, Kalawarner, Mittelt, Sona, Tsubaki, Momo, Reya, Tsubasa, Tomoe
I told you all to expect some more chapters in the next few days. I decided to take most of Episode 3 of Season 1 and turn into my own view. As you saw, Hikaru entered a semi-berserk state when Freed hurt Asia, that is due to Bahamut and his father's influence though I'll explain it later. As for why Hikaru got kind of trashed this chapter, he's still a new Devil and so most of his power is sealed up, remember when Rias said that Issei couldn't handle all 8 of his pawns at once, it's kind of like that. Anyway, to the reviews!
Yogaratw607: Issei will have a harem, just not the ones you typed. Sorry.
Ancient Sith Tulak Hord: I will!
