(A/N) Hey guys! Please review.

Kokabiel stabbed his minion in the shoulder, then twisted the blade painfully. "I told you to inject the power dampeners in him, why didn't you inject it then?" The minion was the chef, he was tied on the wall, blood dripping from his stab wounds. The chef exclaimed, "I injected it to him, I swear!" Kokabiel turned his back to towards the chef, holding his cut off arm.
'If he managed to cut off my arm in his weakened state, how strong is he if he wasn't injected by the power dampeners? I casted a spell on Issei to create hallucinations and illusions. To make it seem like I swiped his wave away, but really, he managed to cut off my arm.' Kokabiel thought in amusement and amazement. "Please, let me go." The chef exclaimed. Kokabiel scowled and smashed the chef's head to the wall. Violently killing the man.
"Issei Hyoudou. I will get you, and I will make you fall…" Kokabiel laughed maniacally.
Line Break
After Issei stopped Gabriel from beating his brother even more, he carried Uriel to Raphael who was sipping another cup of hot tea, he spitted it on Michael this time, making Michael ran into the bathroom to wash off the hot tea. Raphael quickly took Uriel from Issei, "Issei, I'll take care of Uriel from here. Go get some sleep, you exhausted yourself." Raphael said, leaving no room for argument. Issei pouted but nodded and entered his room, he stared up his ceiling, "Draig, Albion, can we do that training you were mentioning a while back."
[Didn't Raphael just tell you not to exhaust yourself and get some sleep?]
(Yes we can, partner. Haha!)
[Oi! Draig! Raphae-]
"Alright!" Issei exclaimed. "Let's start it right now."
Issei started to close his eyes. To his surprise, he fell into a large hole, it was pitch black. Issei's screaming was all that can be heard. About a minute has passed, Issei screamed, "Albion, Draig, let's just train please!"
(Alright! Go fall faster then. We'll be waiting.)
Issei nodded at this and made a diving position, to his surprise he exited the black pit and entered a very large arena. It was like, three football field wide and 16 football field long. On the left side, a large red dragon was curled and had a bored expression on his face. On the opposite side was a curled white silver dragon looking angry. The white dragon who Issei was assuming was Albion looked at him, "Issei you are nearing the ground at a very fast rate." Issei's eyes widened, he forgot he was falling, he opened his angel wings. To his shock, his angel wings won't appear. Draig laughed, his laughter booming across the arena, "That won't work in here, Issei. See, you rely too much on your angel wings. How will a hakuryuukou handle a situation like this?" Issei started to think quickly, but you can't really focus when you're falling to your death. "Issei, we may be one with you know, but you can still use the divine dividing's wings." Issei glared, "How the hell do I do that!" His patience wearing thin as he neared the ground. Albion chuckled, "You're the hakuryuukou, why are you asking me?" Issei sent a sarcastic thank you towards Albion, making the silver white dragon chuckle even more. Issei started to imagine the wings, he chanted, and done everything he could think off. In the end he fell.
Draig's laughter boomed throughout the arena. Issei stood up, surprised he's still alive. "Issei, your merely in your own mind. I created this landscape to serve us as our training ground. So you can feel pain, pain, and a lot more pain, but you can never die." Albion said darkly. Issei started to regret what he's done. "Does this affect my real body?" Albion made a hmmm sound, "Yep." Issei gulped.
Albion said, "Now, before we practice on your Ancient Draconic Ascalon Technique, you must warm your body up first." Issei looked at Albion, "Really?" Albion chuckled at this, "No, but I want you to exhaust yourself before we begin. So when you're in your perfect condition, you will have a longer stamina." Issei rolled his eyes at the explanation Albion made up. "So what is our warm up routine?"
"Fifteen laps around the whole arena while pulling a cart full of rocks. Then do five hundred push ups while Albion made Gabriel is sitting on top of you, and swim ten laps across a swimming pool which is five hundred meters long only." Draig said like it's no big deal. Issei looked at Draig, "You want me to die?" Draig chuckled, "Well…no. But I want you to become strong, stronger that the strongest sekiryuutei. And also, you wanted this." Draig said as he showed his full, long, and sharp teeth which Issei will consider as a smile. And soon Issei did the warm up. All the while, Draig kept smiling and saying, "You wanted this." It took about three hours for Issei to finish the warm up. "What time is it?" Issei said, panting. Albion replied smugly, "Only thirty minutes has passed on the real world. You won't be getting rid of us soon." Issei grinned smugly, "But there's no pool." Right after Issei said that, a five-hundred-meter pool appeared at the middle of the arena, making Issei gulp.
A mentally made Gabriel walked towards him and offered him water. Issei glared at Draig, "Not funny." Issei said while shaking his head disapprovingly. He started to swim and after an hour has passed, Issei was done with the warm up. He exited the pool and walked before falling face first out of exhaustion.
Albion spoke up, "Now before we go on to the draconic training, we must unlock your ability to divide first." Draig growled, "I thought we will teach him how to use boost first, Albion?" Albion huffed, "Dividing is much more important than boosting your powers, right Draig?" Issei stepped back as the two heavenly dragons were pushing each other with their fore heads. They were releasing this deadly aura which made Issei step away. "Boosting first!" Draig cried. "Boosting? Dividing the enemies' energy, is much more important!" Albion said firmly. The energy they're releasing breaking the ground.
After a minute, they both agreed to train me in boost or divide another time. "Anyways, Issei. Let's start the lesson by explaining what it the Ancient Draconic Ascalon Technique is first. This technique is the deadliest technique; in fact, it is a forbidden technique. God told us only a boy who has both of us will be able to use and master this technique. He gave Ascalon something that when both the heavenly dragon's aura enters it, it will unlock these deadly techniques. Now there are seven techniques in total, Issei. You currently know two, the balanced technique, Ascalon Cutlass and the magic technique, Ascalon Kopesh. I'll explain and reveal the other techniques later. These techniques have its ups and downs, but there is this last technique you will only be able to use when you unlocked and mastered all the other six techniques, and even we don't know what it is. This last technique is so powerful that it doesn't have a single weakness on it. "
Albion changed his position and laid his head down the ground, "These seven techniques are:
Balanced Technique, Ascalon Cutlass
Now these is the most basic and for me, the easiest to master. It has the traits of all the other technique and it doesn't take that much of energy to use it. It can still fire energy waves although a lot smaller than what Ascalon Kopesh can do, it is moderately light although not as light as Ascalon Rapier, it can slice through large boulders and it consumes less energy compared to other technique. You are only 10% from mastering it. If you fully mastered this, it's traits will improve drastically, still not as much as when you master other techniques. Its only downside is that it can't be as fast or as strong or as proficient in using magic as the other techniques can.
Magic Technique, Ascalon Kopesh
This is the most exhausting to use. It is the most proficient in magic and channeling your energy into. You are only 5% from mastering it, that's why the only thing you can do for now is create powerful waves of energy, when fully mastered, you can summon the dead dragons or draconic necromancy, create powerful spells and curses, and make binds and seals that are very hard to break, almost impossible rather. Its downside is the Kopesh is very brittle. Don't worry when it breaks, it just goes back in me. It also has a charging effect, but you can improve and lower that. Also, this uses up way more energy compared to the other techniques.
Speed Technique, Ascalon Rapier
Now this is the quickest of all the techniques, and also my personal favorite. You didn't unlock these yet. But when you unlock it, you will feel the whole world slow down. It has also high damage and a graceful style of moving. If you were able to master this, the whole world will slow down that in that state you feel like it's been a day but actually, only a second has passed. Its downside is yes, you'll be very hard to catch, but when they do, you will get hurt by it easily, it has the lowest defense rate even lower than Ascalon Kopesh.
Power Technique, Ascalon Greatsword
This is the most powerful of all technique, and Draig claims that it will be perfect for you, although I do not agree with that. You didn't unlock these yet but when you do, this sword can slice through a mountain easily, and that's not even mastered yet. And if you were able to master it, you can tear through Jupiter easily like butter. It also has a good defense rate. Its downside is that you will have a hard time moving around, it is the slowest of all technique so even if you can slice through a mountain, if you're not quick enough, your opponents can create counter measures against your attacks.
Defensive Technique, Ascalon Halberd
Now this you have seen in the past, I'm sure of it. This is best paired with divide. You can easily redirect any attack with this technique, when paired with divide, you can completely put an end to the attack. When fully mastered, you can actually become 98% invincible from other attacks, no matter how powerful the attack is. The downside with this technique is it has the weakest attacks, the attack is strong enough to kill tier seven opponents, but weak enough that tiers eight and up can easily block your attacks.
Rotating Technique, Ascalon Twin Scimitar
This technique is the last step from the last technique, this has above average speed, power, and defense. This is the most perfect technique for infiltration and combat in tight spaces. When fully mastered, you can tear through armies with this technique easily. Only thing is, you are practically defenseless against magic, especially when you're fighting against high-level magicians. Also, you can't use magic also, you can still use boost and divide but not magic.
And of course, the Ultimate Technique.
God told us that this is the most powerful technique, it has all the abilities of all the other techniques mastered, and that's your starting stats. When you master this, you'll be as strong as Ophis."
Draig added, "Also, when you are three fourths from mastering a technique, it will develop an armor for the arm you are using to hold it. When you fully mastered a technique, it will develop an armor for you." Issei spitted out his imaginary water and looked at Draig, "I will develop an armor?!"
"Well, of course. Your armor won't be like the ones the past sekiryuutei and hakuryuukou. It will be something different, you have seven different armors corresponding to the seven techniques."
Issei was going to ask another question when the whole arena shook. "Issei, we will first work on your balanced technique since this is the easiest to master." Albion said.
Issei nodded, "How are we going to improve it, Albion?" Suddenly, Issei felt the urge to roll to his side and so he did. A tail smashed to where he was if he didn't roll. Issei turned around to see Draig swing hi tail towards him, Issei dodged the tail by twisting to his side, the tail almost hit him on the chest if he didn't do so. "What the? Albion-"A white silver tail collided with his chest, sending Issei flying towards the opposite wall. The two heavenly dragons roared simultaneously. "This is your training Issei. Fight us using your balanced technique." Issei narrowed his eyes, "Balanced Tech-"Albion didn't let him finish and swerved his tail, making Issei fly to Draig's tail. Draig threw Issei up, then brought his tail down with Issei, the impact making a large crater. Draig removed his tail to reveal a twitching Issei, "Haha! How weak! Now I get what Kokabiel said. From now on, we will train you while you sleep. You are being babied by those seraphs, you won't even progress!" Draig bellowed.
Issei closed his eyes and breathed, then quickly rolled to his side to dodge Albion's tail. "Come on, Issei! We are only using our tail. How weak are you really?" Albion taunted.
Issei snarled, "Balanced Technique, Ascal- " He didn't get to finish as Draig crushed him with his tail.
Albion chuckled, "You are too slow, Issei."
Issei, to the surprise of both dragons, lifted Draig's tail and rolled to the side to avoid Albion's. "Balanced Technique, Ascalon Cutlass." The light enveloped the whole arena, Albion wasn't fazed by the light, "All you can do is flashy moves. Why don't you try using strong moves rather than flashy light shows?"
Issei charged Albion's tail and attempted to cut it off, Albion didn't move or avoid Issei. "What was that? Was that the slap of a baby that landed on my tail?" Issei growled and sent an energy wave towards Albion, Albion bit the energy wave and smiled at Issei.
Issei back-flipped, avoiding Albion's tail which crushed the ground. "You're too weak to fight us. I hate those angels for not training you properly." Draig said, boredom evident in his voice.
Albion blew on the charging Issei, sending him to the middle of the arena. "You're weak. Why don't you play with these first then?" Issei tensed as humanoid creatures appeared from the ground, surrounding him. They looked like dragons, ugly humanoid dragons. They were holding a variety of weapons with actual blades, ranging from spears to bows. There were about fifteen spearmen, five swordsmen, and five bowmen, twenty-five. 'Twenty-five mean looking, humanoid dragons. Hooray!' Issei thought sarcastically. The spearmen simultaneously thrusted at him, Issei jumped to dodge the spears then used the spears to get out of the circle. Issei bent backwards to dodge an incoming arrow, he saw a swordsman ready to slice him so he sidestepped, the swordsman stumbling. He kneed the lower jaw of the stumbling swordsman before stabbing it with Ascalon. It turned to rocks.
Issei twisted to dodge another swordsman then slashed it at its back, the draconic swordsman turned to rock also. Issei got down, avoiding another sword then thrusted forward to kill another draconic swordsman. Issei sent an energy wave, splitting the bodies of five spearmen who were nearing him. Issei parried the attack of a draconic swordsman behind him then kicked the swordsman towards the direction of the firing archers, successfully dispatching of the arrows and the swordsman. The last swordsman thrusted at him, the blade grazed Issei's side. Issei stabbed the swordsman straight to the throat.
Issei rolled under a spearman then sent another wave of energy to the archers, eliminating the ranged fighters. 'Ten spearmen left.' Issei thought before charging the spearmen.
After five minutes, Issei decapitated the last draconic spearman. Albion yawned, "That's enough training for tonight. Wake up!" Issei suddenly felt his world spin. And he blinked his eyes, he's in his room again.
Line Break
Issei put on a black cloak. He peeked outside his door to see Michael sleeping on top of his plans and Raphael snoring beside him. Uriel was probably in his room, recovering from the beating he received. He turned off the table lamp and gave Michael and Raphael blankets before going down the elevator. Ever since he got here, Michael added the night time and day time system for his sake. Issei smiled as he remembered how Michael went to all the trouble just for his own comfort.
[Are you sure about this, Issei?]
(You just finished with your training with us, you're exhausted.)
"I'm sure about this, partners. I will save that little girl."
He walked outside the gates of heaven before freezing as someone coughed. Issei slowly turned around to see his fellow joker, Dulio Gesualdo. He was leaning on the side of the gate, smiling smugly, "I knew you would probably return to that island. My body was starting to strain, I hoped to create a cool revealing. And I succeeded." Issei smiled at his best friend before his expression hardened, "If you're here to stop me, you are wasting your time."
Dulio expression fell, "I know I won't be able to stop you. So I decided I'll come with you. But Issei, whatever you saw there in the prison, whatever you pointed at a yesterday, I am telling you, it's your mind playing trick on you. There was nobody left, Issei." Issei ignored Dulio's protest, "I am telling you Dulio, I saw a little girl crying inside of the last cell!" Dulio sighed, shaking his head.
Issei jumped off heaven and dove down the clouds. When the city lights became visible, he opened his wings. Issei looked to his side to see Dulio with him. He nodded at Dulio before flying very fast towards the private island. 'I'll save you.' Issei thought as he remembered the crying little child.
It wasn't long before the two angels saw the ruined so-called resort. Because of Dulio's wave, the palm trees were all over the place and the chairs in the cafeteria were also scattered. Issei and Dulio landed, when they're feet touched the ground they closed their wings. Ascalon Cutlass was strapped behind Issei's back. Albion and Draig said that Ascalon's normal form is the cutlass. If someone else wields Ascalon, it will turn back to its original form. But if Issei wields it, its base form is that of a cutlass. Dulio looked at Issei, "I'll go around the back of the island, I'll try to find the little girl you were claiming to exist. Kill every ghoul you come across to." Issei nodded in response.
Dulio tapped Issei's shoulder before opening his wings and taking off. Issei started to walk towards the cafeteria, hoping and praying that the girl wasn't hurt in any kind of way. The place was messy and there were puddles of water everywhere. Issei entered the kitchen to see the whole place was in a state of chaos. The knives were dangerously lying on the ground. The oil was also spread out. Issei carefully navigated his way towards the door leading to the prison. He quickly ran down the staircase and punched the earth wall Dulio erupted from the ground. Issei saw the little girl look up, her eyes bloodshot. Issei ran towards the girl but then an there was an explosion near her. Issei glowered, "Kokabiel!" Kokabiel smiled maliciously at the girl and carried her, the girl yelped.
"Let her down!" Issei charged, taking the cutlass to his hand and spun, hitting the place where Kokabiel was. Kokabiel avoided the attack by flying away, Issei opened his wings and went after Kokabiel. Issei created a wave of energy, attempting to hit Kokabiel's wings. Kokabiel twisted, barely avoiding the wave of energy by about an inch. Kokabiel laughed, he seemed to be enjoying himself, "Kalawarner! Dohnaseek! Mittelt! Attack that angel!" Kokabiel said with delight.
Issei twisted his body to dodge three light spears sent his way. He looked back to see three fallen angels, two women and one man. The middle aged-looking man with short black hair and dark blue eyes was wearing a pale violet trench coat with matching ascot, black pants and shoes and a fancy fedora on top of his head. The woman with navy blue hair was wearing violet trench coat opened at the top, showing her cleavage, and the girl with blonde hair was wearing a gothic Lolita attire. They kept launching light spears at him which annoyed Issei. Kokabiel laughed at the annoyed expression on Issei's face. Issei kept speeding up, he reached the screaming little girl but Kokabiel kicked his lower jaw. Someone took hold of his arms, a girl with striking, violet eyes and long dark hair that reached her hips. Kokabiel laughed as he gained distance from Issei. "Good job, Raynare!"
Issei scowled at the smiling girl, "You think you can stop me!" Issei threw Raynare towards the girl with navy blue hair, sending them spiraling down. The man looked at the two fallen angels then looked back, he was about to dodge but Issei was too fast and slammed his palm towards the man's face. Issei, rage in his eyes, sent the man falling very, very fast. When the man crashed, a huge crater was created. The blonde girl stared at him, fear in her eyes.
Issei ignored her and chased after Kokabiel. "Kokabiel!" Kokabiel landed on a small island, it seemed secluded, Kokabiel was taunting him. Issei landed on the coast of that island. Kokabiel laughed, "Ha! I haven't had fun like that for years! Thank you Issei. But on a more serious matter." Kokabiel's hands slowly made its way to the girl's inner thigh. Issei tensed up, "Kokabiel…please don't."
Kokabiel laughed, he raised his hand in front of Issei then formed then closed all his other fingers except his index finger then roughly inserted it to the girl's. The little girl cried.
Issei shaked, "Let her go!" Blood started to trickle from the girl's legs. Issei punched, Kokabiel dodged to his right and pushed Issei's chest. But Issei anticipated this and kicked, hitting Kokabiel's face. Kokabiel was sent skidding through the sand. Issei held the girl when he felt a sudden jolt throughout his body. He fell to his knees, Issei struggled to move his body. He looked down his chest to see a magic circle, it twisted before marks suddenly appeared and wrapped his whole torso. He felt another jolt. He saw Kokabiel walk towards him, "Issei, Issei, Issei." Kokabiel scorned. "You are so pathetic. This whole island was a trap to begin with, it's very sand is covered with liquids which can dampen an angel's power. That magic circle on your chest is a sealing spell that is of a very high caliber, almost that of God."
Kokabiel kicked the kneeling Issei on the face, "Why can't you learn!" Issei kicked Kokabiel's feet, making Kokabiel fall. Issei quickly took hold of the girl and flew away, ignoring the heavy strain and extreme pain he was feeling. "I got you." Issei smiled kindly at the girl. He landed at the resort, in the middle of the chaos. Issei hugged the girl, "I got you. You're safe now." Issei said. He heard something land behind him. He turned around to see Kokabiel and Dohnaseek. Issei shielded the girl with his arms, "You stay away fro- "Issei eyes widened in disbelief as he saw a light spear run through his stomach. Fear creeped in his heart, 'This can't be. The girl?' Issei thought. Kokabiel laughed at Issei, "Oh no! Issei! You got run through by the one you are trying to save. This is just hilarious!"
Issei slowly turned around to see the girl smiling menacingly, black wings appeared on her back. Issei backtracked then stumbled. Dulio arrived just in time, Kokabiel charged at Dulio but Dulio brought down lightning towards Kokabiel, "Not again." Kokabiel said to no one in particular. Dohnaseek ran towards Kokabiel but Dulio trapped him in a mountain of stone. Dulio swiped his hands up, the metal under the beach rising up to impale the fallen angel child. Dulio quickly ran towards Issei's side, "Issei, I am so sorry."
Issei gripped Dulio's shoulder, "No, I should have listened to you." Dulio quickly created a magic circle to Heaven.
Line Break
Issei kicked a pebble, muttering curses an angel shouldn't say. Michael got angry at him and gave him his punishment, he'll have to go to school. "Stupid Michael-sama." Beside him was Dulio, who got punished too for going with Issei's plan. And now, Michael told them to act like their brothers, they're going to go with the family name of Hyoudou. If their wings were out, it would be blinking black and white quickly.
Flashback
Dulio laid Issei's bleeding body on the table. Michael sighed, "Why are you two so reckless, really? Raphael spitted enough hot tea already." Michael sighed again as he threw away the plans he worked so hard on but got ruined by Raphael.
Issei smiled, "Michael-sama, I'm so sorry." Issei took hold of Raphael's arms, "Raphael-sama, please don't let me die." Raphael smiled at him, "Of course I won't."
"I know. I shall give both of you a punishment." Michael said, thinking. Dulio and Issei smiled at each other because they know Michael can't give them something extreme and if they are sent in a mission, it's fine for them. "Aha! I know the suiting punishment for you two. You will enroll in a school!" Issei and Dulio's jaw dropped. Issei suddenly turned to Raphael and whispered scream, "Kill me!"
Raphael smiled at him with sincere kindness, "I can't do that. Gabriel and Uriel will kill me then."
Flashback ends
Issei muttered. "Baka Michael-sama. So cruel!" Dulio sadly nodded with him. They were enrolled by Michael to Kuoh Academy, or for Dulio and Issei, hell. "Issei! This is all your fault. Now I also got punished." Dulio said with tears falling down. Issei sighed, "It was your decision to come with me." Issei was looking at Dulio when he bumped unto someone. Issei remained standing, it'll take a lot more than that to take him down. "Ouch." A soft voice said. Issei and Dulio looked at who Issei bumped unto. A girl with golden blonde hair that flowed all the way to her back was rubbing her forehead. Issei quickly held his hand out to help her up and the girl took it gratefully. Issei bowed his head, "I am deeply sorry for colliding with you." The girl's eyes grew wide, "No, I should be the one who's apologizing."
Issei smiled at the girl kindly, making the girl blush, "My name is Issei Hyoudou, pleasure meeting you here." Issei said, uncertain of his last statement. Dulio can't help but laugh at Issei, he coolly made his way towards the girl, "Name's Dulio Gesualdo, nice to meet you." Dulio said as he kissed as the girl's hand. The girl turned red, "Hello, my name is Asia Argento, I am new here, pleased to meet you." She said timidly.
Issei asked her, "If you don't mind me asking, where are you going, Asia-kun?" Asia showed Issei a piece of paper and started to tear up, "I am lost!" She cried. Dulio was surprised and embarrassed as Asia's crying made people look at them and quickly brain stormed of a way to stop Asia from crying. Dulio quickly took the piece of paper and exclaimed, "I will help you, miss!"
A few minutes later, Issei lowered his head in annoyance as Dulio acted that he knows where he is going but really, he is lost himself. Issei walked beside Dulio and whispered, "Way the go, Dulio. Now we are lost ourselves and we'll be late on the first day of our school. We are dead, I'm telling you. Baka Michael-sama will kill us." Dulio stupidly took it upon himself to lead Asia, he's brain almost exploded when he saw the address, "Issei, what the hell is this? Is this a code or something?" Issei face palmed.
After fifteen minutes, maybe a miracle or just pure luck, Dulio managed to find the house on the address. Asia gave Dulio a kiss on the cheek which made him blush, "Bye Dulio-kun! Bye Ise-kun!" Asia shouted as she waved her hand. Dulio walked proudly towards Issei, "See, Issei. I helped a lost lady find her house." Issei laughed sarcastically, "You do know the place where we met her is right there and you took us to the other side of town." Dulio fell, embarrassed again. Issei's watch rang, his eyes grew wide, "Oh shoot! Dulio, stand up. We're late!" Dulio quickly stood up and ran, Issei behind him. They had to control their running or risk the humans to start an investigation on why they're so fast. Dulio and Issei arrived at Kuoh academy, ignored the gate, the people looking at them, and the teacher they bumped into.
They we're nearing the classroom when Dulio accidentally stepped on his untied laces, tripping. Issei didn't have the time and distance to stop and went flying straight through the door. Issei rubbed his head, "Ow." Dulio quickly stood up and ran towards him, "Sorry, Issei." He held out his hand which Issei took gladly. They kept brushing their clothes, removing the dirt on their clothes when someone coughed. Issei tensed up and turned around to see the teacher, arms folded while shaking his head. Issei elbowed Dulio who still didn't stop brushing his clothes.
"Dulio! We're here" Issei whispered scream. Dulio just laughed at him and continued to fix his clothes. He then, stood up straight and stretched his arms. He yawned, "So…Issei. What were you saying, oh." Dulio muttered.
Issei suddenly received the urge to hide as he felt the hungry looks of the girls. The girls in the classroom blushed as two handsome boys who almost looked identical besides their eyes stood in front, hands on their backs, as the teacher scolded them. The boys felt jealous as the girls stared at them both, blushing.
(Hey, partner. You attracting the eyes of ladies here!)
[When you're the host of one heavenly dragon, you'll attract ladies, imagine if you have both. Haha! Good luck, Issei.]
Issei gulped as he heard what Albion said. Dulio was also having a hard time maintaining his smile as the girls stared at them lecherously. The teacher silently checked both out, "Ok now, boys. Introduce yourselves." Issei went first, "My name is Issei Hyoudou, we're new here. Pleased to meet you all." Issei said and bowed at the end. Dulio smiled, "My name's Dulio Hyoudou, my eyes are green unlike my brother's blue eyes because we are born by the same father but with different mother." Issei tried his hardest not to laugh at Dulio's lame explanation.
They started walking towards the two empty seats in the middle. They felt uncomfortable as everyone stared at them. "Hey Dulio, is it just me or are we supposed to be scared?" Issei whispered asked Dulio. Dulio looked around to see the stares of their classmates, out of nervousness, he took out the lollipop in his pocket and sucked on it.
(That means you're supposed to be terrified.)
"Ring!" The bell sounded, Issei and Dulio sprinted for the door, making the whole class go silent. They arrived at the back of the school. Issei and Dulio kept running until they felt something…different. Issei looked at Dulio, "Tell me you felt that, right?" Dulio nodded at him, "…Devils." Dulio tuned around to see a crimson haired beauty and a raven haired beauty, looking at them. Dulio's eyes narrowed, "Devils."
Line Break
Rias and Akeno were sipping tea peacefully. They were planning and thinking of a way to break Rias off her engagement. Akeno placed her cup on the table, "Rias, the only way that I can think of is too expand our group, recruit strong members to our team."
Rias sighed, "It's hopeless, Akeno. I will be forced to marry that disgusting excuse of a man, Raiser." Rias was going to add something when Akeno and Rias felt something extremely powerful enter their range. Akeno dropped her cup of tea. Rias quickly looked out the window to see two awfully breathtaking, boys with whitish blonde hair who seemed odd. "Akeno, look at those boys. Surely an ordinary human can't possibly be that good-looking. If I wasn't so preoccupied with Raiser, I'll gladly spend the rest of my day staring at their faces." Akeno turned silent. "Ara ara, that boy with blue eyes is mine, Rias. You take the one with green eyes."
Rias smiled, "But they look so innocent but captivating at the same time. I only know one kind of creature who fits that description perfectly." Rias said as she kept looking at them. She almost jumped when the one with green eyes looked at her, his eyes sharp as daggers. Rias knew exactly what they were, "They were the ones who we sensed, Akeno. Angels." Rias turned around to see Akeno gone, "Akeno?"
Line Break
Issei's eyes widened as Dulio glared at them, "Then why are you so angry? They're just devils. Let's leave. The last thing I want to do is start another great war." Issei said. Someone laughed behind him, making him turn around. The raven haired beauty with a pot of tea and a bunch of cups was standing behind him. "Ohayou to you two. Are you new here?"
Dulio was going to say outrageously rude words but Issei covered his mouth, "Hi. I apologize for my brother's future actions. He's just crazy. We went to make a doctor check on him and the doctor said he's a hopeless case so, please pardon his future actions." Issei quickly explain, making Akeno laugh. "Our president wants to have a talk." Akeno said. Issei nodded, Akeno turned around and started walking, Issei let go of Dulio, Dulio punched him on his shoulders.
Dulio whispered to Issei, "That girl was a devil!" Issei smiled at him, "I know. I just want to know how this goes. If they're here to kill us, well…let them try."
Dulio shook his head in disapproval but followed Issei regardless. Akeno opened the door for them, the room was ok. There was the red head beauty they saw earlier looking through a window. A boy about their age with blonde hair and grey eyes was standing straight beside the red head, he had a kind expression on his face. A petite girl with short white hair and hazel brown eyes was sitting opposite of the redhead.
Akeno smiled at them kindly, "Please have a sit." Issei took a seat next to the girl with white hair, she blushed. Dulio just remained standing, not trusting the devils. The redhead cleared her throat, "Anyways, my name is Rias Gremory." Issei started to try to remember where he heard the name while Dulio tensed. "Nice to meet you." She said as she held her hand out to Issei, which he took while smiling making her face go red. "My name's Issei Hyoudou, pleased to meet you. My brother, Dulio Hyoudou, is crazy, so when he starts to say rude things, he really doesn't mean it, he's just crazy." Dulio gnashed hi teeth in the background.
Rias directed her hand towards the girl beside Issei, "This is Koneko Toujou." Then she pointed at the boy standing beside her. "And this is Kiba Yuuto." Rias stared intensely at Issei which Issei returned while smiling. 'Damn that smile.' Rias thought, blushing.
Dulio then blurted out of nowhere, "Issei, I think you made enough friends for this day. We better get going." Issei nodded at Dulio and stood up, he bowed. "Once again, it's a pleasure to meet you all." Before leaving the room. Rias let out her breathe, "Yep, those two are definitely angels." Koneko nodded in agreement, "I thought my body was going to disintegrate when Ise-san sat beside me." Akeno fell down, breathing deeply, Koneko and Kiba attempted to approach her but Rias calmed them down, "It's ok, those angels' are simply reacting with our energy, also they're extremely powerful."
Issei and Dulio were walking home. Michael created a home for them, they would have to take care of the house, keep it clean and orderly. They were at the middle of a bridge when a beautiful girl stopped them.
"Please go out with me!" Dulio fell backwards as Issei just got asked by a girl. Issei smiled kindly, "Sure." The girl sweat dropped in how Issei accepted the request easily. But really, Issei knew where he saw this girl and what her intentions are.
[This is that fallen angel, Raynare. No?]
Issei answered mentally, "It's her. I'm sure of it. They're probably planning to kill me." Twirled happily, "Tomorrow morning, let's go on a date!" She said before skipping happily away. Dulio patted him on his back, "What do you think Uriel will say when he hears this." Issei looked at Dulio, "Don't worry. That girl is a fallen angel I fought last night." Dulio's eyes widened, "Then why will you go out with someone who wants to kill you?" Issei smiled darkly, "To exterminate them."
Dulio started walking, "If I didn't know you better, I'd probably mistake you as a fallen angel." Issei smiled at his friend and started walking beside him, laughing.
Issei completely obliterated his alarm clock. He groaned, he needed to wake up early for his date with the fallen angel sent to assassinate him. Issei struggled to stand up, but somehow he managed to and he walked towards the bathroom, took a bath, and dressed himself with a tight, red shirt and black pants. He also took his shades and a gray fedora, hanging the shades on his shirt and wore the fedora. He scanned the surroundings before going out of his room, navigating his way towards the kitchen using ninja moves to not wake Dulio up. He took out a leftover pizza and heated it up, then devoured it very quickly. He navigated his way ninja style to the bathroom to brush his mouth.
Issei wore white converse before going out the door, "Be back before nine!" Dulio surprised him. Apparently, Dulio waited for him outside to scare the living daylights out of Issei. Dulio prepared a bike for Issei to ride on, screaming good luck as Issei sped up.
Issei screamed as the bike dematerialized and sent him flying towards the ground. "Damn you, Dulio." Issei muttered, brushing his shoulders. He went up to the fountain to see his date. Issei knew that this beautiful creature was sent to kill him but it's the first time a girl dressed properly, therefore he was distracted, but only for a moment. The so-called "Yuuma," skipped towards him, "Ohayou, Issei!" Issei smiled at her charmingly, making her blush genuinely. Issei offered her his elbow which she took gladly, they spent half an hour walking around the park. This was the first time Issei actually had the chance to look and survey the surroundings he is currently living on. He was genuinely happy and amused which made Raynare genuinely happy.
Their next destination was a café, Issei ordered an ice cold latte. Issei was amused at how good Raynare was in lying, she actually created a convincing back story. If Issei didn't know better, he would have actually fell for the trap. Issei sipped on his ice cold latte, then winced as he got a major brain freeze. Raynare bent towards him, showing him her cleavage, Raynare smiled, 'If I can seduce him and turn him into a fallen angel, Kokabiel will be super pleased with me.' Issei didn't know what Raynare was actually doing so he complimented her necklace, making her sigh, 'Right, he's an angel. Raised as an angel. Obviously he wouldn't know this kind of things.'
Raynare dragged Issei into a boutique, squealing as she did so. She quickly took a push-up bra and dragged Issei inside the fitting room. She slowly stripped herself, then removed her bra, showing Issei her big breasts. But still, Issei rubbed the back of his head, although he felt a strange feeling. After that, Raynare gave up on trying to seduce Issei and decided to kill him instead. She led him into a secluded area, "Ise-kun! I have a secret to tell you!" Issei tried his best to act interested. After he walked near Raynare, a light spear quickly materialized on Raynare's hand and she thrusted, but Issei anticipated this, moment all day long and sidestepped, he grabbed Raynare's hand roughly and broke her wrist.
Raynare screamed, "That's not the way you should treat a lady." Issei scowled at her, "You're far from being a lady." Issei kneed her stomach, making her fall down her knees, "Give me a reason not to kill you right now." Raynare didn't speak for a while, "So you don't have anything interesting?" Issei held out his right hand, an orb of blue light appeared, it materialized into his Ascalon Cutlass. Issei raised his word when Raynare held her arms out to stop him, "Alright, alright. I'll tell you. Tonight, we're going to kill an ex-nun."
Issei raised his eyebrow, "An ex-nun?"
Raynare nodded, "She has a sacred gear called twilight healing, we will extract that from her body tonight. Her name is Asia Argento." Issei's eyes widened. 'That's the girl we met yesterday.' Issei thought to himself.
"Hey Issei! You're late! I told you to return before nine, right?" An all too familiar voice shouted, Issei turned around to see Dulio wearing a tight yellow shirt and brown khaki pants. Raynare looked at him weirdly, "Who the hell is that?" Issei smiled, "Oh that's Dulio Gesualdo." Raynare's eyes widened, "THAT is Dulio Gesualdo?" Dulio looked offended, "Why, not good enough for you?" Raynare nodded, making Dulio cry. "Anyways, Dulio! The rebel fallen angels plans to kill an ex-nun tonight." Dulio perked up at this, "An ex-nun?"
"You see, we already met her. The lady you helped, Asia Argento, is an ex-nun who possesses a sacred gear called 'Twilight Healing'. The fallen angels are going to extract that from her body, killing her." Issei said, Dulio had a surprised expression.
"You mean that unusually beautiful lady-I mean…that kind and innocent lady is an ex-nun?", Dulio asked. Issei decided to let him slip. Raynare started to crawl away slowly, but, to Raynare's surprise, the earth formed cuffs at her and spread her like an eagle. Issei sat beside her, "Where is this event going to take a place?" Raynare gulped, "In a church. An abandoned one." Issei looks at Dulio who nodded.
They left Raynare spread eagle wide, "Um…Hello?" Dulio suddenly impaled her with a sharp metal pole. He then grabbed her roughly by the hair and whispered to her coldly, "Now bleed to death, you monster." Dulio had a blank expression on his face, the kind and carefree smile gone. "Monsters like you deserves to rot in hell." Dulio held his hand out and another metal pole rose from the earth, he raised it before impaling it to Raynare, he took another one and impaled it again and another one. Then Dulio walked away Raynare then stopped. He started to chant something, the metal pole's impaled to Raynare started to glow golden. Raynare trashed around wildly, she was screaming in pain. A magic circle appeared under her, she spitted out blood. Issei can't bear to watch this and turned around, even though she was his enemy, he can't stand the screams of pain Raynare was making.
[Sometimes, angels are scarier than devils.]
Issei closed his eyes as Raynare let out a scream of pain, louder than the others she had made. After that, no scream followed. Dulio tapped him on his shoulder, "I'll never show my enemies mercy." Dulio said, hiw wings out flashing black and white. He was wearing his angelic armor this time. Issei sighed, "You're a bit too cruel, Dulio." Dulio just smiled at him, before walking towards the location he absorbed from Raynare's memories. Issei sent a look towards the burned and broken body of the once beautiful fallen angel before sighing and following Dulio.
("Dulio, you are now my officially favorite angel.")
Dulio laughed, "I am honored."
["Don't you think that's a little harsh?"]
Dulio just laughed it off.
After a few minutes, they reached the location on Raynare's memories. "If I am right, this is it." Issei groaned, "Are you sure, because if you're not, Asia may not be alive for much longer." Dulio smiled at him, "I'm sure of this." With his hands inhi pockets, he started to walk the pathway when he tilted his head to avoid a holy sword. Issei, who was behind Dulio, caught the tip of the sword between his ring and middle finger, both of them not flinching and remained unfazed. Issei grinned, "Well wouldn't you look at that, Dulio. You managed to lead us to the location, bravo." Issei congratulated Dulio like it's a rare occurrence for Dulio to be able to do this, Dulio glared, "Hey! It's not that it's rare for me to do this."
Issei laughed, "Let's just go save Asia."
Dulio nodded, and started walking, he opened the large door with a kick. Issei's eyes widened, Kiba Yuuto was fighting with a crazy looking exorcist. Koneko Toujou was beating up a bunch of fallen angels, and bothe of them seems to be losing badly. Kiba looked at them, "Issei-kun?" He asked before getting kicked by the exorcist to the opposite wall. Koneko snapped out of her surprise and countered the attack a fallen angel sent. The exorcist raised his sword to draw the final blow, 'Looks like it's time to intervene.' Issei thought as he dashed forward to parry the exorcist's sword just in time before it hit Kiba. The exorcist looked at him, perplexed and angry, "Hey, who the hell do you think you are-" Issei didn't let him finish as he did a tornado kick faster than the exorcist processed, hitting the exorcist on the stomach, making him drop to his knees and making blood gush out his mouth. Issei punched the exorcist knocking him out, before picking up the body and throwing it to the corner.
Issei held out his hand to Kiba who took it gratefully, he was staring at Issei in awe in how quickly he beat the exorcist, "What are you doing here Issei?" Issei smiled, "Well, we are here to save a friend." Pointing at Asia who was tied on the wall. Kiba pointed at Dulio who was charging straight through the crowd of fallen angels, he heard Issei mutter something, "Did you say something, Issei?" Issei grinned at him, "No, it's nothing, I just muttered poor fallen angels, they don't even stand a chance." Kiba's eyes widened as all the fallen angels got impaled straight to the heart by a metal pole which erected from the ground. Dulio kept running until he chanted a spell, a magic circle appeared on the tied Asia's stomach, it glowed brightly before fading, the bounds of Asia fading with it. Dulio caught the falling Asia, not noticing the light spear coming his way. Issei threw his cutlass with deadly precision, cutting through the light spear. Issei held his hand out, Ascalon Cutlass returned to his hand like magnet. Kiba looked at Issei in surprise but Issei was surprised himself.
[Don't worry, Issei. It's a new trick I've been working on for you. It's called sword pull. It's very convenient, you don't need to pull it manually, it will fly to your hand by itself. Like it?]
Issei smiled and answered mentally, "Thanks, Albion. You're the best." Issei heard Draig grumble.
(I'll make a new trick for you too, partner. Just you wait, it will be better than Albion's)
Issei sighed as another fight started between the two. Dulio carried the sleeping Asia in his arms bridal style, he was staring intently on her face. He noticed Issei was holding out his laughter and blushed, "Issei, do not speak of this ever again or I will kill you." That just made Issei laugh even more. Kiba gave them a questioning look. Issei looked at him, "We'll explain all tomorrow." After that, Koneko burst through the wall, wounded. Issei and Kiba quickly rushed towards her. After the dust settled, three fallen angels were flying. The three fallen angels were the ones Issei fought before.
The man with the fedora or Dohnaseek as Dulio told him mentally, grinned, "Hello, boy. I will get you back for pushing me down with your palm." The woman with navy blue hair also had a murderous glare. The blonde seemed reluctant but summoned a light spear regardless. Issei smiled at this and pointed the tip of his Cutlass, "Come out me." Kiba and Koneko's eyes widened. Koneko tugged on Issei's pants, "Ise-kun, they are strong." Issei smiled kindly at the blushing Koneko, he patted her on the head, "I'll get them back for hurting you."
Issei stood up straight and did a form, which somehow intimidated the three fallen angels. To everyone's surprise besides Dulio and the sleeping Asia in his arms, Issei ran up the wall and jumped reaching Dohnaseek who was too slow, Issei brought his sword up then brought it down, cutting of Dohnaseek's left arm. Issei landed then rolled to avoid Milltelt or the blonde girl's light spear then threw his cutlass, impaling Milltelt to the wall of the church. The cutlass was painfully pulled out by Albion's sword pull, Milltelt turning to dust. Kalawarner or the fallen angel with navy blue hair, was too slow in processing what's happening and suddenly found Issei's cutlass in her chest. She looked up to see Issei's face with a cold eyes and dark smile. "Are you even an angel?" She asked so that only Issei can hear it, before turning to dust. Dohanaseek glared before turning around to retreat but Dulio smirked, "I won't let you." The wind suddenly pushed down Dohnaseek, Issei threw his cutlass towards Dohnaseek's wing, pinning it. Dohnaseek started to desperately pull the cutlass out but it won't budge. Issei smiled at Dohnaseek's desperation. Issei tilted his head and stared walking slowly towards the pinned fallen angel. "Please, have mercy."
Kiba and Koneko had mixed emotions on their faces. They were amazed, confused, and scared. How can Issei beat sixth tier fallen angels so quickly. Issei twisted his cutlass, making Dohnaseek scream in pain. "Please, have mercy on me, ange-" Issei twisted the sword, he made a shushing gesture. Issei pulled out his cutlass and swung his cutlass, beheading the fallen angel and turning him to dust. Issei wiped the blade of his cutlass on his sleeve. Issei walked towards the two devils who backed away, "Don't worry, I'm on your side." Issei smiled kindly which instantly remove the fear in the devils heart and replaced it with warmth. Perks of being an angel.
Issei noticed that Dulio was gone, probably returned home with Asia. Kiba cleared his throat, "Isse-" Issei didn't let him finish, "I know. You have a lot of questions. We will answer all of those questions tomorrow. For now," He said as he offered his hand to Koneko and Kiba who took it gratefully, "Let's just go to our homes and sleep." He finished with a kind smile.
Issei arrived at his home, he entered and stretched his body. He thought to himself. He checked on Dulio to see him asleep, leaning on the side of his bed. On top of his bed was Asia, sleeping peacefully. He closed the door slowly and went to his room, he wore nothing but boxers, showing off his abs and his defined body.
[Issei, good news. Your mastery of the balanced technique has moved up from 10% to 15%.]
Issei pouted, "Five percent only?"
(A/N) Hey guys! Please Review! Sword pull, new move of Issei.
