The Heart of Red Dragon Emperor
Chapter 2: Death of the parents.
Hikari: Hello there! Unfortunately, Slay-san Cannot greet you as always. He have sickness called pedophile. So, we are here to Answer your question!
Slay: Shoo Shoo Hika-chan. First, i'm not a pedophile, I AM LOLICON *Ba dum tasss* Second, didn't you have a big brother to seduce?
Hkari: Oh, you're right Slay-san. Bye readers~
Slay: Sometimes i wonder why i create perverted OC. Anyway, someone asked why Issei keep referring Asecht, THAT MAN. It was same like when you referring Harry Potter as THE BOY WHO LIVED, or YOU KNOW WHO, Voldemord style. And if you are observant, you should know Asecht has silver hair.
Anyway, please Review, Read, And Favorite!
On a side note, Yuki and Hikari looked like Illya and Kuro respectively.

It has been six months since Yuki and Hikari adopted to Hyoudou family. And things has gone better since then. Mr and Ms Hyoudou feel relief since they adopted them. Slowly they noticed that their son has been changing. He was no longer being reckless as he was year ago. Instead, he seems to spent more times with their adopted daughters.
"Issei nii-chan, can you help me with these question?"
"Issei nii-sama, please assist me with these question."
"Girls..."
"Yuki-nee~, i ask nii-chan first!"
"But Kari-chan, isn't the older one is supposed to be the first?"
"Ignored again huh, *sigh*"
"Mou~ Yuki-nee, don't just play older card sister recklessly! You must use it as last escort!"
"Is that so?"
"I hate my luck."
For their sanity sake's, Mr. and Ms. Hyoudou ignored most of their talk.

(Next day.)
Today is a sunday, and i have a plan to marathoned new anime. Unfortunaltely, Gabriel called me. She said there were someone who stoled Excalibur fragments, and she want me to help her find the culprit.
In a great war, the sword of promised victory, Excalibur, was brokken. In attempt to take advantage of it, the seven brokken Excalibur fragments that were collected by the cruch was maded to seven different sword. But it was not easy. So, they make a deal with the Eizbern at that time, wich is know to be the greatest alchemy. The result is seven different Excalibur fragment. The one wich stoled is the strongest Excalibur fragment, the Excalibur ruler.
At first i suspected that it was THAT MAN doing, but i quickly shaked my head. As much as i want to blame him, he is not stupid enough to risk an outbreak between three faction. But even then i still felt a small part of my heart screaming at me. The sad thing is, i don't know why. I just can hope for better, but knowing my luck, it probally wouldn't.
"Issei-kun, are you thinking of something naughty?"
Fighting down my embrassement, wich is failling, i reply...
"W-w-w-w-h-h-h-a-a-t i-s t-that supposed to mean, Gabriel?"
"W-well, you kinda spaced out when i was talking to you.."
"Oh... I'm sorry."
"N-no, it was my fault."
It was at the time like this i cursed my low rank luck. I don't understand why things like this keep happening. Sure, i admit Gabriel take beautiful to otherworldy level, but just why every single woman i meet is soo damn confusing.
"*cough*...Let's pretend that never happen."
"..."
"..."
"..."
...Okay, i have enough of this.
Getting on my feet, i then grabbed her hand.
"Eh?!"
Not expecting this, Gabriel can only yelp in surprise.
"Gabriel, can you please tell me what's wrong? Your face is all red."
My attempt to relax her only made her face even redder than before. Is angel can even caught cold?
On a side note, we are currently sitting outside of garden cafe, enjoying the early summer wind. Oh wait, today is still early summer! I reallt am idiot.
"B-b-baka! L-let go off my hand, you pervert! Help! I'm getting molested!"
...The sheer ridiculousness actualy stunned me. It was such outlandish and impossible. Yet, I can somewhat feels many eyes staring at me while giving me a very neverous feeling. It's like you are a punching bag in a market. Wait, what is that supposed to mean again?
And why many man were starring at me like that? Oh boy, i can tell that this was going to be a ugly.
"Hey you! Are you was about to molest her?! Boys! Get him!"
W-wait! I'm just tweleve for anime sake's! And-
The rest of my thought was forgotton because i got beaten within an inch of my life's, literally.
x-x-x
"I'm sorry!"
It was a hour after got beaten by random men. And right now, Gabriel is apologizing to me.
"It's okay." And i mean it. It was okay for me to got beaten if after that Gabriel and i could speaking freely again.
"So, let's back to our disscussion."
I offer. My smile i give her is genuine. This is an angel who saved me afterall, and i intent to repay her kindness for protecting me and Irina.
"R-right.. let's countinue..."
And so, we countinue to suspect the culprit for the rest of the day. But even so, our effort is fruitless.
"*Sighing tiredly* Well, it's look like we can't find him today."
"Yes, it's look like it. So, wanna grab dinner with me?"
I offer to a tired looking Gabriel. I don't know that the mighty archangel in front of me have a unnatural fear toward reading a paper work. It must have something to do with their brain. Or the sheer number she must signed.
"YES! *blush* O-oh, s-sorry."
"It's okay."
It was amusing to experience an angel mood swings. And all of that happen in very short time unfortunately. If i don't know any better, i would have guess i caught Gabriel maiden heart. But that's impossible because two reason, the first is this is real world, not a fantasy anime. Secondly, archangel have lived many centurys, so it was high impossible that Gabriel still retain her maiden heart. The last one is mostly a guess.
"Issei-kun, let's go!"
It was then i realized that i have yet another daydream. Quickly getting rid of my thought, i repplied her with a smile of my own.
"Sure, let's go."
...
...
...
Unfortunately, fate have another plan to me.
...
...
...
Preasure.
!?
I made eye contact with Gabriel, and she nodded. Then this only mean that a being on par with Gabriel is in Akihabara. And he seems to chalange us. Either he is very stupid, or he is very arrogance. Either way, we must deal with it.
Gabriel already spread her wings, and so do i, even if my wings are very different that it couldn't be called 'wings' in the first place. It was my CAD or Casting Assist Device. It is looked like a bracelet i wore in my right hand, but look can be deceive. After all, i made it myself.
Magus need time to chant their Aria. But using this bracelet, there is no need for that time. Because this bracelet used like a catalyst, or a wand, or even a magic circle. I made this device to counter my weakness when i'm not using bossted gear. True, my sacred gear is very useful and powerful. But if i used boosted gear in every battle, then sooner or later i would relying it to much and abadoning my magic.
And using this CAD is easy, because all i need to do is to pour my prana to it, then with the right spell sequences inputted, the effect would be more effective than what magus used.
Quickly i activited spell sequences 'accel'. I gave Gabriel one last glance, signalling i was ready. Then, we 'flying' with our own way. Gabriel with her wings, while i jumped from roof to roof.
Finnaly we reach the place. It was actually abadonned park. The tree and grass grow uncontrolled and seemingly eaten the park benches. And in the park stood a single man with silver hair. It can't be, Asecht? No, it's not him, because as far as i know, he would still have amputated hand. So, maybe it was another homonculi? Most likely, since he seems prefer to use homunculi than another magus.
"Who are you and what do you want?"
It was Gabriel who asked him. Now that i have seen the distruber. His body is not those body builder and his muscle more fit for those runner. Wich drawn my attention, since Asecht normally would either use no-muscle-full-prana or no-prana-full-muscle type. I never seen he combined two of their kind.
"I am homunculi number 51-CQC. Target identified, Gabriel Seraph the Archangel and Hyoudou Issei, current Red Dragon Emperor. Mission: Eliminate Hyoudou Issei and if possible, Gabriel Seraph."
Number 51-CQC type? Don't tell me this was another over powered homunculi? Two digits no less? What is THAT MAN think?
Eizbern have many homunculi, wich is what Asecht is truly, a homunculi. Homunculi that i fought the last time i met are three digits one. They might have the advantage of number and more skilled, but against an executor who have slaughtered a small army of inhuman being equpied with black keys, they are as good as dead.
However, a two digits is different. They are more sklilled, more powerfull than their counterpart, but they lacked any independent action and emotion. Wich is mean they are no more than emotionless killing machine given power to slay four winged angel.
Based on the clock tower information, only few two digits homunculi still alive, and even only single digits left. The single digits name is Asecht, the leader of now extinct Eizbern magus family. The same Asecht i hated and cutted his left hand. That same Asecht.
Stop, this is not the right time to thin-
"Move Issei-."
But it was already too late.
Caught by surprise, a burning fist greeted my stomatch.
Pain
"Gah!"
I spatted some blood that mostly come from my interlnal wound, i then send flying to a nearby tree. However, just before the crash, my instict that i honed by fighting kicked in, saving me from crashing.
However, i have a little time to react as a burning kick almost meet my head. But it was enough. I acivited boosted gear to stop his kick from meeting my face.
"Gah!"
Once again i was caught by surprise as he overpowered i quickly activited 'accel' and retreated a few meter behind.
Fast... He was way faster than even Asecht. And he also hit as hard as train! So, this is our difference in power?!
"Issei-kun, are you alright?"
It was Gabriel who landed besides me. Unlike me, Gabriel is more flying long ranged type. So a combat like this is disadvantageous toward Gabriel. Besides, she doesn't have attack that fast without getting unwanted attention. Mainly, because she can't covers that much without leaving a single trace behind.
[Boost]
I feel the power of boosted gear fueled me. It was amazing, feeling this much power that i can't normally reach.
"Yes... I'm alright Gabriel. Can you please cover me while i attack him?"
It was that or killed him while at the same time destroying this abandoned park. If i might add, risking million life. It was a choice that i cannot take. So the obvious choices is to save million life's.
"I can, but please be save."
"I will try."
And so, the battle is begin!
x-x-x
Too say Gabriel is proud is an understandment. She never regretted to visit Kuoh back then. Infact, she is quite happy for it. Not only she get a potential powerful Excalibur fragments user, but she found a very intersting young man.
And now, the same young man was fighting in front of her. He was fighting a being that capable to deafeat her given enough time and resources. And she isn't lied when she say that homunculi capable to defeat her, she already know considering she has fought some of them in past.
The young man in front of her fighting bravely, bonderline suicidal fighting style. He exposed his opening to the homunculi, wich the homunculi intent to take advantage. But it was a grave mistakes. With inferrior power, that syle would even be more effective. And not once she saw Issei get direct damage. All of the homunculi attack were either burned his body, or get countered.
Every time the homunculi almost managed to land a hit, Issei managed to redirected it from getting direct damege, wich avoided [reset] from the gears. And he instantly countered it with his fist. It was sucidal, yes. But it was also effective against non human.
She was proud and worried about him at the same time.
Sometimes she forgot that the young man in front of her is still a boy. Well, it was understandable considering he doesn't act like one. She only hoped that he will be alright.
x-x-x
A kick targeting my kidney, it was coming from a high speed. I parried it with my left hand.
Opening!
I punched his left arm with my right arm. It's not much damage, but i don't intent to make a damage. I intent to weaken him by taking out his arm. Knowing i targeted his limb, he moved his other arm to parry my punch.
[Boost]
It is my third boost, and i think this is enough.
With that in mind, i jumped backward after avoiding yet another burning punch.
I only have one chance.
Charging all power i have, i create a spear. It was not your normal light spear, it was different. It was a spear, yet at the same time it isn't. It is a metal, yet at the same time it isn't. It is...
"I am the weilder of spear that pierce the heaven and hell!"
A spear made of pure prana i make in front of me.
"With this spear every living shall die!"
The spear leaked visible red blood lust that will make normal person pass out. It was acceptable considering i make boosted gear gems inside of the spear. All of the hatred from boosted gear previous holder were the blood lust that leaked.
"I gift all my power to you..."
Knowing that the spear is dangerous, he was about to attack me...
But i cannot stop now, Yuki and Hikari are waitting for me. .
My parents are waitting for me too...
This is the only way...
"Given you purpose, given you dream..."
I guess i was lucky. Because before the man could dodge, light spear stabbed all of his limbs, efficiency crippled him. The light spear stabbed him coming from behind me, wich mean it's Gabriel spear. I should thank her later.
"I named you..."
This is it, my experimental moves. A skill that i haven't tested yet. A joker, so much full of unknow factor. But beggars can't be the choser.
"BOOSTED GEAR! BLANCE TRACER SPEAR!"
[SPEAR!] [GIFT!] [TRACE!]
I throwed it with all power left.
Thuth to be told, it was the first time i used this technique in battle. It was my only experimental thrump card except the normal balance breaker. I made this technique based on Gradutiation Air and partical balance breaker. Because the complexity, i cannot recreated it with my CAD, so i can only use it with my aria.
But enough of that...
The spear i throwed instantly pierced the homunculi in the center. But it doesn't stop with just that, instead the spear then explodes. Because of the force, the homunculi body becomes pieces, showing me his organs. It was sickening.
I promised myself to use it only when my target is unsaveable.
A paper landed in front of me. I wonder what is it. So I grabbed it then began to read it-
The paper fell from my hand. My eyes widening in worry. A cold sweat dropped from my head. It almost stopped my artifical dead heart.
"What is it Issei-"
Before i knew it, my body moved on it's own.
No, no. It can't be! No! Please be save Yuki, Hikari...
And with that, i runned to Kuoh, specifically my home...
x-x-x
Gabriel is confused. Why all of sudden Issei running like a mad man? She doesn't know. So, she picked the paper Issei dropped.
Mission:
1. Guard Asecht while he eliminate Hyoudou family. Complete.
2. Eliminate Hyoudou Issei and if possible, Gabriel Seraph. Incomplete
It was then she understood why Issei running like that. So she spread her wings and fly with intention to catch Issei.
She hoped that Issei's family would be alright.
x-x-x
(A hour ago)
It was just a few minutes after Issei-nii left to meet his friend. And frankly, Hikari doesn't like it. She want to spent all of her times with Yuki-nee and Issei-nii playing around. Even Yuki-nee agree with her.
Ever since they were adopted to his family, she was never this happy. It was only thanks to Issei-nii she can open up her feeling. And like any childern her age, she enjoyed her brother overprotective tendency. It actually make her happy knowing that there are other person that cared that much for her beside Yuki-nee.
When she thinks about Issei-nii, she always feels somethings warm filled her chest and sometimes she feels her face warming up. She asked this to Yuki-nee, and as expected from Yuki-nee, she doesn't know. But one thing she understand is that she wants to be forever with Issei-nii and Yuki-nee.
So it was no surprise that she currently sat on the couch with Yuki-nee while watching anime. It was one of few anime she liked to watch. You could say that was Issei-nii faults to introduce them in the wonder of anime.
They watched anime about a magical girl, called Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya Zwei 2. It's somehow simmilar to their condition. Not about the magical girl part mind you, but about the twins that liked their adopted brother. Yeah, thats right.
"*Sounds of door bell ringing*"
"Honey, there is someone in front of the door." Mr. Hyoudou said while reading a newspaper.
"I wonder who is it." Ms. Hyoudou walked out of the kitchen.
"Is this Hyoudou residence?"
"Yes, it is. Who are you Mister?"
"You could call me Von Eizbern, and i am here to kill you."
It was when a black sword stabbed Ms. Hyoudou stomatch that Hikari nightmare comes true...
That monster is here!
x-x-x
(Present.)
I almost there!
I am still running at high speed on the roof top. It was only few block after this. Before i know it, i already reached my home... or what is left.
No... It can't be... No, I refuse to belive this! No!
My home... My family...
Mom...
Dad...
Yuki-chan...
Hikari-chan...
There was nothing left from my home except few debris, black swords, and mutilated body. If it wasn't because a pair of ring that attached to it I would never recognized them.
Mom...
Dad...
A hot luquid fallen from my eyes. A desperation crossed my mind...
Where... where is them?
Where is Yuki and Hikari?
I moved my eyes, searching for anything resembles my sister. However, what i found is more than I can imagine. There laid Yuki and Hikari, their face was filled with pure terror, as if asking me 'where were you?'. The center of their body were stabbed by the blade i knew so well. The blade of a person i hated the most, that cursed man Asecht.
Anger build up inside of me, but my desperation quickly pushed it away. Grief, agony, and pain enveloped by guilty filled my heart.
If only i was there for them.
If only i was here to protect them.
If only...
I could save them...
...
...
...
But in the end, i could not.
Tears once again start flowing out even more...
"AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!"
I roared to sky, screaming in agony and hopelessness. For all my power i have i failed to save them. Is this a punishment for me? What i want is just to save everybody. I was the one put my live on the line, not them. I was the one faced a powerful non human, not them. Yet, why did they have to die? Why?!
If only there is away to save them, i... i... i am willing to odfer anything. Even... Even if that mean...
I sold my soul to devil.
"Is that what are you willing to do, boy?"
A childish femine voice asked me from my head. It was echoed through my ears.
"Yes... i will do anything, if it mean i can get my sisters back."
"Then, become my pact. I will give you one wish, but in return, when tou died you will become my enternal servant. Will you accept, Hyoudou Issei?"
"I accept it."
"Spledndid! Then, what are your wish, Hyoudou Issei?"
The voice now coming in front of me. I lift my head to see who is it. Only to be surprised by seeing a girl with blue emo styled hair. She wore a white simple looking dress that so simmiliar to hospital gown.
For a second, i thought it was just a joke. But i noticed her very high power that was far surpassed Gabriel. There was no mistaking it, she can make my wish come true.
"I-i wish that my sisters are still alive-"
"ISSEI-KUN, WAIT!"
x-x-x
"ISSEI-KUN, WAIT!"
But it was too late...
"Your wish will be granted. May you enjoy your live, before becoming my servant, Counter Guardian Hyoudou Issei."
And then, she dissapeared like a wind. But at least Issei-kun sisters both breathing again after the black sword destroyed like a fragmented grass and vanish with the wind.
Gabriel isn't fast enough, she cannot prevent that from happening.
Truth to be told, she know who is that woman. She was called by many names, but the most popular one is Alaya, the spirit of hummanity. She is both of the light and the dark of hummanity as a whole. She is the being on par with Gabriel father (If you don't know who, you are a idiot.) She is the archenemy of the Gaia, spirit of the earth, in planet. Not the earth 'dirt'.
More importantly, her Issei-kun was already made a pact with that woman. Only a few people have make a pact with her, and all of them was very infamous toward three faction. Jackie the Reapper, and Modred the knight of round.
She hoped that Issei-kun would be alright. But the problem is he still doesn't understand what is the meanning of becoming Alaya servants. It means when you died, your soul will be Alaya property.
And that fact is the one hurt the most. She liked his childish ideals, and she doesn't like it when someone messed with the head of someone she consider important.
Angel can only take that much afterall.
x-x-x
So that is. Hope you enjoyed it.
And please tell me where should i put this story.
Follow, Favorite, and Review please~
x-x-x
Omake~
What would happen if Issei never meets Alaya!
Since that day, he has changed. For better or for worse, we don't know.
It was midnight, and Issei seems doesn't care if his body once again soaked with blood.
His enemy now, is dead. He has avanged dead of his family. And yet, instead of satisfaction he strive, he feels hollowness that consuming his soul.
However, it doesn't matter to him anymore. For he has no use to be alive in this cruel world. So he decided to live a live of avenger. A live of not to protect the innocent but a destroy the sinner. A live full of treachery and backstabbing. He know, but he doesn't care.
In the end, he died in the public execution. He has been beheaded by the least person he expect, Irina. Alone... Hated by many... And cannot be understand... Even his once time a friend hated him now... Truly, his live has no meaning...
