Nephilim DXD
ESKK: Well here's chapter 3 and so far only three reviews I was expecting this to do better but oh well. Anyway enjoy the story and leave a review telling me what you think.
(Start)
"So let me get this straight Issei is Nephilim and now sense Rias is his queen in his Peerage we're under his command now as much as Rias," Akeno said as she couldn't believe it.
"Yeah at least that's my theory," Issei said as they walked down the street as Rias was shocked to hear she was basically both promoted and demoted.
"A Theory that's the best you have?!" Akeno yelled as Kiba was staying quiet about this.
"Well would you rather here my other theory where you guys will begin becoming strays before you end up losing your sanity?" Issei said as Kiba spoke next.
"We'll accept this for now at least until we hear what the Gremory family thinks," Kiba said as he hoped they were forgiving.
"Fair enough," Issei said as they walked.
Issei put his hands in his pockets as he walked down the street in silence before a car stopped near them as it kept there pace. "Need a ride Issei?" Kat asked as it was her driving with Asia on the passenger side.
Issei sighed as he leaned to the window. "Sorry lady parents told me not to accept rides from strangers especially ones who seem to know me," Issei said as Kat sighed.
"Look our boss really wants to see you guys Rias included sense she's part of your peerage but mostly you sense he knows a lot about you," Kat said as Issei still wasn't convinced. "I helped you, you can at least give me a chance," Kat said as Issei sighed.
"Kaneko, Kiba, and Akeno head on home we have someone to meet," Issei said as Rias looked at them as if to say that she will summon them when they need help as Murayama and Katase also boarded the van.
Issei then pointed forward before the Van drove off and took a U turn. "We know all about you, Issei. We're with a rebel organization called The Order. Heard of it?" Kat asked as they drove.
"Something to do with that Masked freaked on the net," Issei said as Murayama and Katase hoped they weren't being recruited into a terrorist organization.
"That's our boss," Asia said from her seat as they drove.
"Great can't wait," Issei said with sarcasm.
Murayama and Katase looked out the window to see the TV screen at the News Tower screens playing the Raptor News Network as Masune was on the screen. "Were just receiving reports of a terrorist attack that has taken place at the western School District at Kouh Academy," Masune said as the screen showed the trashed Kouh Academy and the building near it as it played the news. "Police are asking the public to remain vigilant-"
(Aero corp. Mundus chamber)
"-as further terror attacks could take place anywhere, any time, and when you least expect it," Masune said as he read the report.
Mundus smirked as he watched the screen as he got the upper hand. "We have your scent Son of Sparda and I can kill two birds with one stone with the Gremory girl," he said with a smirk. "Now it's just a matter of time," Mundus said as he knew he would win.
(Scene break that night with the group)
The van came through an opening gate and into an alley as soon it parked as the group filed out. They followed Asia and Kat to a partially opened Garage door as Issei was unimpressed as soon Kat and Asia stopped.
"Welcome to The Order," Kat welcomed as Issei spoke.
"Not what I was expecting," Issei said as Murayama spoke up.
"I think that's the point," she said as Rias spoke next.
"It's to throw off any unsuspecting people who come here, from thinking it's a secret base," Rias said before Kat and Asia led them under the door and to a brick wall.
"Those artificial Devils that attacked you are already amongst us and want to enslave us for their master," Kat said as they arrived at the brick wall. "Japan is asleep, brainwashed, and helpless," Kat said as she put her thumb on a scanner followed by typing in a code and then finishing it off by an eye scanner before turning to the Peerage. "We're fighting back," Kat said before she and Asia lead the group in.
A camera of the Order was watching Issei and his Peerage as he and his peerage followed the two girls. "We are a small handful of freedom fighters," Asia said as the door closed. "We are the last and only line of defense," Kat said as Issei scoffed.
"Defense? You got no chance," Issei said as Rias was silent as she took it all in.
"We don't leave things to chance, we've accumulated vast intelligence on the demons and there collaborators," Kat said as another camera was watching them and soon they entered a control room as Rias was listening to see how they used that intelligence. "Government officials, bankers, pop stars… We can hit them where it hurts," Kat said as she turned to the group as Issei, Murayama, and Katase were looking around the base. Rias of course had heard of Mundus's servants getting taken out by an unknown faction.
The group soon arrived at a set of large metal doors as they opened on their own when they detected the group as Issei saw a young man about his age in the darkness holding a Katana like a cane. Off to the side on a manikin was the mask seen on the net as they all stood before the masked cloaked figure. Asia stood next to the young man as Kat went to the back of the room where a transportation circle was as it was clearly meant for the Underworld.
"Amazing," the young man said as Issei looked. "Issei we finally get to meet after all these years," the young man said as Issei moved his arms a bit to show he was a bit confused as was Murayama and Katase as Rias had a hunch. "Understandable that you don't know me sense the last time we saw each other was when we were but newborn infants," the young man said as Issei was getting on edge a bit.
"How much about your birth mother do you remember?" the young man asked as Issei looked.
"Not much the only thing I really remember was a halo was adopted by the Hyoudou family 17 years ago next month," Issei said as the young man laughed a bit.
"I was placed into the care of a nun named Sister Quarta 17 years ago next month," the young man said as Issei was shocked.
"What day?" Issei asked as he wanted answers.
"September 5th," the boy said as Issei was shocked as that was the same day as his birthday. The boy soon walked out of the darkness surprising everyone as he looked like Issei but with white hair that was combed to a strict way. "In all wars the best weapons is the ones you keep hidden till just the right moment," the boy said as he looked at Issei. "As you grew and received training much of your past and power has been hidden from you," as Issei had enough.
"Ok who the hell are you?" Issei demanded as Murayama was shocked.
'They look so alike that they could be brothers," Murayama said before Issei noticed a green glow on his hand as on Kiske's back was ethereal blue rings in the shape of a dragons.
"You've already met my Bishop Asia and The Orders Psychic Kat," the young man introduced as he motioned to Asia and Kat in order. "And my name is Kiske I established The Order to push back Mundus control and fight his forces," Kiske said as he walked away a bit.
"You mean besides swords, bullets, and magic?" Issei wise cracked as Kiske looked at him.
"Such weapons can win the battles, but not the war," he said as he had his head turned to Issei as he walked a bit. "We use force yes, but we also use intelligence, politics, propaganda," he said as he walked to the side a bit.
"And you believe you can make a dent?" Issei asked as that caused Kiske to turn to Issei.
"Make a dent?" he asked in a tone that he was shocked he asked as he turned to Issei. "With the two of us working together I believe we can defeat them," Kiske said as Issei scoffed.
"So this is what this is about. You need me to fight the Demon, help save the world," Issei said as he glared at Kiske as Rias saw how this can be beneficial as Katase and Murayama were skeptical.
Kiske then spread his arms to his side as he then spoke. "What else were you planning to do you're your life?" Kiske asked as Issei scoffed.
"Sorry I don't trust many people especially those who "Claim," that there my long lost brother," Issei said before Rias spoke up.
"Issei think about it for a bit Mundus is clearly after you for some reason and it's to assume you have the power to stop him and besides if what he says is true then you two are brothers," Rias said before Kat spoke up.
"Issei I don't think you know what's at stake-," Kat began before Kiske stopped her.
"If you want to leave-turn your back on me, I'm powerless to stop you," Kiske said as he looked at Issei. "But you'll be making a grave mistake. Not just for yourself but for mankind," Kiske said as Issei was shocked.
"Mankind?" he asked as even he wanted to protect mankind. "…I'm listening," he said as Kiske smiled.
"Before you leave give me a chance to show you," Kiske said as Issei was shocked.
"Show me what?" Issei asked as Kiske turned to the Underworld portal.
"Who you really are," Kiske said as he then went to the portal. "Kat activate the portal two transporting," Kiske ordered as Kat began activating the portal as it began to glow with a crimson energy. Issei followed as he and Kiske entered the circle as Kiske took two pieces of paper and gave one to Issei as it showed it was a similar symbol. "Keep this with you it's the only way back," Kiske said as Issei had a feeling as to where he was going as he pocketed the paper.
The portal soon began to reach its max as soon the duo vanished shocking Murayama and Katase. "Where did they go?!" Murayama and Katase asked surprised before Rias spoke.
"The Underworld," Rias said surprising the two girls to no end.
(Underworld)
Issei and Kiske appeared before an Estate as the estate was labeled as Sparda as Issei was surprised to be in the Underworld especially because of his Demon Heritage. "Follow me," Kiske said as he and Issei entered the abandoned home.
(Inside)
The duo arrived at the entrance hall as Kiske turned to Issei. "Ready?" he asked as Issei nodded.
"Yeah let's go," Issei said before Kiske chuckled a bit. "What's so funny?" he asked before Kiske spoke.
"I'm not coming with you this place showed me its secrets now it will show them to you," Kiske said as Issei sighed before going in alone.
"Why can't things be easier?" Issei asked as he soon arrived at the main hall. "Alright house show me what you want to show me," Issei said before he began walking up the stairs. That was when Rebellion appeared as Issei saw it was resonating with the house. "Looks like this was your home," Issei said before following Rebellion was Ddraig as he appeared on Issei's hand. "Seems your familiar with this place Ddraig," Issei said as Ddraig spoke.
"Yes," Ddraig said as Issei smiled finally getting the Boosted Gear to talk.
Ddraig soon followed where Rebellion was resonating too till he arrived at a room and saw there was a large portrait in it and by the looks of it the room used to be a study. Issei walked up to the portrait that showed a man who had a sword and was wearing a purple regal duster as his face was scratched off before Issei walked over to it. Issei soon saw a spot below the painting that looked to fit Ddraig as around the painting had markings meant for wings of energy.
Issei walked over to it and inserted Ddraig before it activated a system as soon a hologram appeared as it then spoke. "Initiating Ddraig trail 1: Arbiter," the hologram said before an Artificial Demon appeared to have a marking on its shield similar to a coat of arms as it looked like a skeleton Knight.
"Well aren't you tough I think I'll call you a Death Knight," Issei said as the Knight bashed its sword onto its shield showing it was ready. Issei pulled out Ebony and Ivory as he began shooting at the Devil but it blocked with its shield.
Issei cursed as he wasn't going to get anywhere with that Demon's shield in the way. Issei then charged with Ddraig before bashing his gauntlet into the shield. "EXPLOSION!" Ddraig invoked as the shield was heated up but not destroyed. Issei cursed before he saw the Death Knight charge at him and when it was about to attack Issei acted by stabbing it through the neck before chopping it in half.
Issei shouldered Rebellion as he soon took notice to the painting that was once again glowing. He went to investigate it as he placed his hand on it but once his hand touched the painting black and red ink began to seep out of it and go up Issei's arm as he tried to get out but he was stuck.
"Be calm this won't harm you," Ddraig said as soon the slime soon reached Rebellion before Rebellion took it into itself and transformed into a demonic battle axe. "This is Rebellion Hell form Arbiter," Ddraig said as Issei lifted it up and saw it was heavy which made it perfect for smashing those shields.
It was then that another Hell Knight appeared as Issei summoned Arbiter and began smashing the shield. It didn't take long for Arbiter to take down the Shield as he didn't stop there. Issei then smashed Arbiter to the ground creating a shock wave sending the Death Knight skyward as Issei then kicked up a large pointed fragment of the shield and then kicked it to the Death Knight Killing it.
The Hologram then appeared again as it then spoke. "Draig Trial 1: complete,' the Hologram said before a pathway opened for Issei. Issei then walked through it and found himself back in the entrance hall. Issei then felt Rebellion resonate again as he followed where Rebellion was resonating to. It didn't take long for Issei to arrive at a bedroom that he assumed would have been a child's but was now trashed as he picked up a wooden shield. Issei put his hand on it as he felt himself being dragged somewhere new in his mind as he could hear voices some were different as he could barely make out what they were saying.
(Mindscape)
Issei found himself in a place that could pass for heaven as red tattered banners blew in the wind as in the distance was a large statue without legs as it was chained up as one of the chains were connected to a statue of a demon.
"Well let's see what I'm dealing with," Issei said as he walked down the path. But Issei saw a dead end as the ground before him was broken as the path was floating. "Ok how do I get through?" he asked as he looked for a way. Issei then felt Rebellion pulse before it transformed into a demonic claw as Issei was shocked to see this before he smirked. Issei then grabbed his new Ophion Demon Pull and pulled the platforms into place so he can jump on the path.
Issei kept going using the pull to bring a ledge for him to jump on out before he arrived at his destination. Issei then turned Rebellion into Arbiter before he smashed the statue causing it to break and the chain to be released and fall to the water below as the large statue in the distance turned to Issei with glowing eyes before Issei felt himself being drawn back to the real world.
As Issei went through a tunnel of energy he heard those voices again as he could feel himself leaving that weird world.
(Underworld)
Issei came to as he saw the shield was still in his hand before he turned it around as it said "Issei," and "Kiske." Issei was shocked to read this as the names were hand crafted as with the shield. Issei stood up as he began to explore the house more as the more he explored it the more he discovered hidden secrets.
Issei soon arrived at another room and saw that there was another painting as contrast to this being the underworld it was a painting of angel as said Angel had incredible beauty as she was holding a blue rose as Issei looked to the bottom of the painting that was labeled "Gabriel."
Issei then put Ddraig on it but when he did another Hologram appeared. "Beginning Trial 2: Osiris," the voice said as the Hologram appeared facing Issei. "The Arbiter if from Hell, Osiris is from Heaven, where is Rebellion from? If Angels are from Heaven and Devils are from Hell then where do Nephilim come from?" the voice asked as Issei was confused.
Issei was then able to decide on an answer before he spoke. "Earth," Issei said before the Hologram nodded.
"Trial 2 Osiris: Complete," the voice said before the painting glowed. Issei walked over to it before he put his hand on it and when he did he gasped as a black blue slime traveled up his arm before getting to Rebellion and when it did the weapon transformed into an angelic scythe shocking Issei. Issei looked at Ddraig.
"Ok Ddraig what's the deal?" Issei asked as Ddraig as the Welsh Dragon Boosted Gear then spoke.
"It's the Angel Scythe Osiris, a weapon that has been merged with Rebellion," Ddraig said as Issei smirked. "It's good for handling large group of enemies with fast agile attacks," Ddraig said as Issei nodded.
That was when multiple enemies showed up as Stygian's appeared by instead of spiked clubs they had swords on their arms, Greater Stygian.
Issei smirked at the large numbers as he then spoke. "Large numbers unfair advantage… for you," Issei said as he then charged with Osiris and began slashing at the Demons with Angelic attacks making him look like an Angel of death. As he finished them off more showed up as he smirked. "Seems like Mundus had centuries set up here incase an heir of the Sparda House ever showed up," Issei said as he took care of the Artificial Devils with ease.
The Devils were defeated as Issei returned Osiris to his back where it turned back into Rebellion as Issei smirked. "To easy," he said as he began to leave the room.
It didn't take a while for Issei to arrive in a Library as he found a blue rose on the floor. He noticed it after Rebellion resonated to it before he picked it up carefully as to not get poked by the thorns. That was when he felt himself being dragged back into that world again as he was going through that energy tunnel hearing voices he couldn't catch.
That was when Issei found himself in that world again as he saw the same statue as it was still chained. Issei ran over to a ledge before he saw there was nothing to Demon Pull. "How am I supposed to get across," Issei asked as he saw glowing blue rocks floating as he could tell that was Angelic energy they were giving off.
That was when Issei hissed as he felt discomfort as Rebellion turned into an Angelic looking hook. Issei smirked before he used it on the rocks before using it to propel himself forward as Issei landed on the ledge across. "The Ophion Angel Lift I like," Issei said before he continued onward while using a combo of the Angel Lift and the Demon pull and soon he was at the statue holding the chain.
Issei then went Hell mode before smashing it into the statue before causing it to break and be sent into the water. Like last time the large statue turned to Issei as its eyes were glowing as he was soon exited from that world as he was hearing voices but more clearly as he heard a woman's voice and a man's voice but the woman was the one he was hearing more clearly.
(Underworld)
Issei noticed a broken picture as he picked it up to show a woman with angel wings as the man had white hair as Issei was surprised. "These are our parents," Issei said as certain memory chains were being shown to him. "This woman is mine and Kiske's mother… she separated us to protect us," Issei said as he was shocked to see these images that were still a bit foggy.
Issei then got up and began to heading to the exit as he saw he didn't need to stay any longer. As he ran he slashed through the remainder of Mundus' sentry's as he was running to the exit. He soon arrived to see Kiske waiting there for him as Kiske looked. "Issei did you find what the House wanted to show you?" Kiske asked as Issei nodded.
"We're… brothers," Issei asked as Kiske smiled as he reached into his shirt to pull something out. "Twins actually," Kiske said as he pulled out an amulet much like the one Issei had but this one had a blue stone. "Now we need to get out of here before any more of Mundus's sentries show up," Kiske said before he and Issei pulled out the paper and added there blood to it before they were transported back to the Order Base.
(The Order HQ Kouh city human world)
The group arrived at the Order HQ as Asia and Kat were still there before Kat spoke. "Murayama and Katase took Rias to Issei's house to get a weapon for her they'll meet up with us later at the park," Kat said as Kiske nodded before turning to Issei.
"Come walk with me Issei," Kiske said to his twin brother before they were on their way.
