Outside of the Mode 7 arcade entrance, Richie stood beside entrance against a concrete wall. His face was shocked while looking at his right hand. His right hand started to tense and shake, as if something wrong was going on from inside his body that's causing it. The sensation felt like if he was playing a computer game for a substantial amount of hours without standing and stretching.

"What the hell was that?" he said in his mind having his left hand on his forehead. "All of a sudden, me and this Issei guy were getting along. Outta nowhere my vision got... weird. Then, in my head…"

His mind flashbacks to the moment him and Issei first shook hands. It was at that moment, his mind and body froze. The only image he has seen in his mind during that stand still was an image of a red dragon with a horn above the nose and three red and gold spikes coming out from the top of its head.

"That dragon. A red dragon. What does is it all mean?"

"Find the user that has a sacred gear similar to what you have. That user should possess the power of the Red Dragon Emperor. He and the user will help guide you."

"Was that red dragon, the same one Aeris mentioned?" he thought.

Richie was still puzzled. He couldn't know what to think about what had happened earlier. Could it be just an illusion in his mind that triggered it or could Issei really be the connection. As he was still processing that thought, a young lady with bat wings on her back was wearing a red dress with a white skirt under it hands Richie a small, brown piece of paper.

"Here, take this flyer" She says to him"

"Uh...thank you?" He accepts as the lady giggled and kept walking. "I wonder what this is for?"

He observes the small flyer. On the front of the flier, there was Japanese text on top, written inside a black border surrounded by roses. On the bottom, the text is translated in English giving him a better way to read. The bottom text read, "Your wish shall be granted." However, what gave him a little more attention was the weird circular symbol in the middle. The symbol consisted of a rose encased around uncanny lettering and an unusual circular design.

"Your wish shall be granted? If only." he sighed as he put the flier in his jacket left pocket.

"Uhhh...Excuse me?" a mysterious female voice said tapping his shoulder

He turns around to see a stunning girl about both the same age and height. Her long grey hair reached down to the middle of her back. Her eyes were radiant with the color yellow. The clothes she wore supported a white off-the-shoulder top with black pants and sneakers. She wore two cross earrings and a necklace that matches the insignia.

"Uh, y-y-yeah. Can I help you?" Richie responds. "Woah! Check out this beauty!"

"Yeah. See, I'm trying to find the nearest fast food restaurant here and I'm really hungry. I was wondering if you might know about this town more than I do. I'm new here, so bear with me." she said in a sweet voice.

"Oh, w-w-well I'd l-love to help, but I'm new here in this town too, so I don't know anything about this place at all either. Sorry bout that."

"That's OK." she responds. "Hey, since we're both new how about you and I look for one. Sound cool?"

"Uh, sure. By all means. I'm getting pretty hungry anyway." Richie says rubbing his stomach as the girl laughs. "Hey, I think I see a fast food joint up ahead."

"Really? Where?"

"Just up north. It's roughly about a few hundred feet from where we are now." He pointed to a restaurant with a red banner.

"Shall we?" she said joining wrapping her arm around his.

"Uhh...yeah, for sure." He happily responds with a slight blush.

The two make their way up on the sidewalk to attempt reach their destination by walking upwards. The young female starts the conversation by giving her name.

"My name is Alexandria, what's yours?'

"I'm Richie. Nice to meet you, Alexandria. What brings you here to Japan?"

"I'm on a special assignment for my school's culture research club in the UK. I was born here in Kuoh Town, but I actually go to school in the Eastern part of England. I've been attending at my institution since I was around 10 years old. It's a great school.

"What's it like in England compared to here in Japan?" He questioned.

"Pretty different. Y'know the fish and chips, which is typically just fried fish and french fries. As kid, I always thought it was just dead fish and potato chips." She chuckled. "But in all seriousness, England is a magnificent city. I love the scenery, the air is clean, and the people are very polite too."

Richie enjoyed listening to the girls conversation with him. as it the conversation kept moving forward his stomach kept growling. He wanted something made fast. Richie loves fast food joints and so did Alexandria, so he tries to see whether or not a fast food restaurant was nearby. Fortunate for them, there was a fast food place conveniently a few hundred feet north from where he was. As soon as he spots it, the two dashed upwards on the sidewalk. They make it in front of the building. The red banner on the store front of the restaurant reads, "WcDonald's."

"WcDonald's. Odd name for a restaurant but it'll have to do. Anything to get my stomach filled."

"Mine too, let's go inside. I'm sure the food is good." she said with a smile.

They proceed to walk inside the restaurant. The smell of french fries made his stomach growl longer and louder. Luckily, there was no long line. The two walk up to the cashier to order his food.

"Hello, how can I help you today?" the cashier said.

Richie looks up at the menu to find a staggering yet, a variety amount of selections to choose from in the restaurant. There were so many options to choose from he could not make up his own mind. From chicken sandwiches to hamburgers, he didn't know what to choose from. When he decided what he wanted, he opened his mouth only to be cut off by Alexandria.

"We'll each have the medium, number 10 combo meal, please." she said.

Richie was a bit crossed, yet stunned. He wanted to tell the cashier lady what he wanted to eat but he also wanted to know how did Alexandria know what he decided. Lucky guess much?

"Alright. Is there anything else you would like?" The cashier said.

"No thanks, we're okay for now" Alexandria told the cashier.

"OK, that'll be ¥1700."

Richie reaches down inside his pants pocket to pull out his wallet to give the cashier the rest of his cash. Prior to giving her the cash, Alexandria, once again, cuts him off. Only to cover the food on her bank card.

"It's OK Richie, I got this." She offered.

"It's alright. I helped found the way for this place. The least I would do is pay the food for us. Besides, you're a little new to this place." He suggested.

"You're new here too. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know where to look. Now, I'm paying you back the favor. No ifs, ands, or buts. OK?" she told him sliding her card in instantly receiving her receipt and giving him a big wet kiss on his cheek along with a smile.

The teen boy's face froze with his mouth mid open of how amazed he was that he got a kiss. His first kiss from a girl. Not from his mom, grandma, or any relatives, but a kiss from an actual girl.

"We'll deliver your food when it's ready." the cashier smiled.

"Thanks, have a good day." Alexandria replied to the cashier

"C'MON Richie, our table is waiting."

"Yep, sure, mmmhmmm" he said walking toward the booth to sit right in front of the new girl who kissed him still in a dazed state on his kiss.

"SWEET HOLY HARMONY! MY FIRST KISS! JACKPOT! Exclaimed to his inner self. "But wait, I don't even know this girl that much and we just met. AH, SCREW IT! A KISS ON A CHEEK HAS TO MEAN SOMETHING. AND THIS WASN'T AN ORDINARY PECK ON THE CHEEK, THIS WAS BIG WET ONE! Alright Richie, get it together! You're on this lunch with a totally hot chick. Those eyes, that hair, that face, and those…ta-tas! I wonder what they must feel like. So firm, so hypnotizing, and yet, so voluptuous. No! Focus...on...the girl, not by her boobs. Don't get intimidated by her."

"Is everything alright, Richie?" She questioned.

"Oh, uh yeah everything is...swollen..I mean swell." He chuckled while sweating.

"I hope I didn't rush you too fast. For you see, when I first got here in this town, I was trying to finding my way through the town to work on a research assignment about how culture so rich as Japan can celebrate different religions. Taking pictures of shrines, churches, and all sorts of amazing places that worship their god. When I came here in the middle of this town, I saw you wandering around aimlessly in front of the arcade. It was at that moment, I felt a slight sense of connection. I was so nervous to talk to you. Kinda think of it, it's been quite a long time since I talked to a boy of my age. I'm usually shy when it comes to talking with someone of the opposite sex. Don't you ever feel the same way, Richie?" she told him putting her hand on top of his.

"Honestly, yeah. You have no idea what it feels like for a boy like me talking to a girl face to face. Typically, I tend to get nervous. Not knowing what to say or what to do. But this time, it feels pretty different. It's like, ever since I started coming here, I'm not having this issue anymore. Back in the US, I was always scared. Feeling of being rejected by a crush or someone you know, not knowing what will happen next. I guess talking about sorta makes it feel kinda better." he says.

"I feel the same way." she replied staring into his eyes as the two came to their faces closer for a kiss until they were interrupted by a waiter handing over their food.

"I got two medium chicken nugget combos. Here's your order guys!" said the waitress.

"Thank You!" Alexandria replied

"Thank You." Richie then replied also.

MOMENTS LATER

"So then, me and my friend Blake were thirsty. His mom was at work and we had the whole house to ourselves. The only drinks we could find in the fridge were soda, orange juice, and a gallon of purple stuff. I said to him, "What the hell's purple stuff?" "Only one way to find out. I'll give you 10 bucks to drink half the bottle." he said. I drank half jug and in the next few minutes. I started having having this intense rush of speed and adrenaline.10 minutes later, I started running around his house 20 times, then I said to myself, "If I could run this fast, I can go back in time like a freakin' delorean!" I ran almost 70 feet outside of Blake's house and that moment I thought I hit 88 miles an hour going back in time, when in actuality, I slammed through his garage door."

Alexandria started to laugh loudly in the restaurant at Richie's funny story.

"Now, thankfully I wasn't injured. Just a few cuts and bruises. But my mom had to pay the damages for my friends wooden garage door. When I came home my mom sat down with me in the living room and said, "You HAD to drink the purple stuff!"

Alexandria continued to laugh, slamming her hand a few times on the table.

"Oh my gosh, you are just too funny. I am so glad that decided to have my lunch with you. Y'know Richie, out of all the guys I went out, I think you're the most hilarious one out there." she said her phone vibrated in her pocket.

"Really? You think so?"

"Yeah. Hold on, let me go use the bathroom to freshen up really quick. I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere." she said stroking her finger under his chin.

"I won't." He chuckled.

Alexandria rushed into the women's bathroom. Fortunate for her, she happens to be the only person in the restroom. No one in any stall was around her. She quickly picked up her phone to notice the caller ID was her brother Alexavier. She immediately accepted the call.

"What!" She answered.

"Did you get him yet!"

"What does it sound like I'm doing, dummy? No! I didn't. I'm just now close to reeling him."

"Well, hurry your ass up! We don't have all day! You've been going at it for over half an hour already.. You should've reeled him in 15 minutes ago and I'm sick of hiding in this fucking trash can! What's the hold up!?" He fumed.

"I'm working on it. I was just about to when you called me!"

'Whatever! Just get him in so you can have Uncle Freed take care of the rest. He's been waiting since this whole thing got started in the first place. Don't screw this up like last time!" he closes down his flip phone hard

"Ugghh! Such an asshole!" she grunted.

Alexandria took herself a deep breath to regain her composure. She straightened her hair and washed her hands before exiting. She quickly exited the bathroom to sit back down to Richie.

"Sorry about that. My brother was calling me from the church not far from town."

"Oh. Was it something important?"

"No, he just wanted to let me know about the new time changing for our annual church sleepover. I told him all about you and how this date was going along. He said he very interested into meeting you."

"Wow, a sleepover? You guys do this every year?"

"Yeah. We've been doing this for well over 10 years ago, ever since I was a member at age three. Today will be our 11th anniversary. You're more than welcome to join us. We got movies, free unlimited food, and we can stay up as long as we like," She said placing her hand in top of his."

"Well… I was looking for a place to stay since I got here today. I don't know about this church sleepover thing."

"Maybe this will change your mind." She said sitting up, walking towards beside him to put his head on her chest. "If you come to the sleepover tonight, I'll let you sleep with me. You can do whatever you want with me, however you feel." She said in a seductive tone stroking the side of his head.

In those exact words, Richie's expression was in awestruck. He never knew he would get this far. Already, he just met this nice girl and she wanted to sleep with him. Usually thoughts like that would never pass him. Even though he's at an age where the tail end of puberty is around the corner, he was often times curious about sex between two people of the opposite gender and how it's done properly. Never in his teenage life would a girl tell him to explore sexual activities.

"So, do we have a deal?" she tells him as Richie gets up from her chest.

"Wait a sec, are you sure that this isn't some sort of a trick or a prank against me?"

"Does this feel like a joke to you?" she told him grabbing his right hand, thereby placing his palm on her left breast feeling on the outside of her dress.

As soon as he felt her breast, his manhood felt like it skyrocketed at ludicrous speed. His heart was beating faster than ever before, his nose was about to bleed, his face started to sweat for a bit, and his face was turning a brighter shade of red, knowing that this wasn't a game. This was real. She really wanted him by her side. He thought thoroughly once more. Not only he was just transported to the new world about over an hour ago, but now he doesn't have any idea where to stay. Hotels are out of the question, not knowing how much they cost in this new world nowadays. There's nobody close to him that is willing to live with him. Rest was important to him, but getting those stolen artifacts are the number one priority. The only intel he has are the fact that the items are here in this country of the new world and fallen angels were the ones that have taken them in an unknown location. He makes his decision.

"Whaddya say?" she seductively says as she gazed into his eyes

"It looks like I have no choice. Sure, I'll come over. But I'm doing this so I can get a good night's rest, the free food, and maybe even...a bit of fooling around wouldn't hurt." he agrees.

"Great!" she hugs him once more. "You're going to love the church I grew up in. My brother is an excellent cook. He's the one that'll provide us all of the food tonight. Maybe you'll meet my uncle too. He's actually the reverend. Why don't I take him to you right now, the sleepover should begin in about another hour or so.

"Cool, Let's go. I could use some fresh air after that meal we had. The more I stay in the restaurant, the more I'm gonna eat. I'll practically explode. You'll have to hose me down."

"HAHAHA. I swear you are so funny." she giggled.

The two teens headed out of the door to go to the nearby church that Alexandria mentioned. As they were walking along beside each other, Alexandria decides to hold Richie's hand along the way. Richie felt his heart jumped and hold her hand a little tighter. About a few miles away from the church, the "couple" spotted another teen walking in front of their path. Richie spots Issei walking along the same sidepath as the two.

"Hey, Issei!" Richie waved.

"Richie? Hey, what brings you here? Did you already found a place to stay?"

"Oh, nothing too much. Just walking along with my new girlfriend. Alexandria, meet Issei. He's pretty much the first person I've met and hung out since I came here."

"Issei...Issei Hyoudou I presume?" she with her head down and a devilish smile.

"Yeah, how do you know my name?" he nervously asks.

"I've heard all about you. Pleasure to meet you." Alexandria greeted him.

"Y-You have?" Issei nervously respond

"You're the one who posses the Re...er, I mean, a robust perversion of the of girls with busty figures, am I right? No need to worry, I was visiting my brother's school at Kuoh Academy. I saw you getting chased by those girls earlier today. Presumably the Kendo/Martial Arts club. Thought it looked hilarious." she giggled.

"Yeah...you're...welcome." Issei responded as he leaned closer into Richie's ear. "Dude, It's your first day here, and you already bagged a chick this smokin' hot, AND SHE'S YOUR GIRLFRIEND?" he whispered.

"Oh yeah, and the best part about is that she's not from around here too. To top it all off, she asked ME out." he admitted.

"No effin' way." surprised Issei.

"Way." he whispers back. Anyways, I found myself a place to crash for the night. I'll be hanging around at the church closeby here. They're having their annual church sleepover tonight. I'm talking about free food, movies, and we can stay up whenever we like. It's gonna be fun!"

Issei's mind then was triggered of a dark occurance. An instinct very eerily similar when he first became a devil. He starts having these uncanny flashbacks of what had happened previously when he first entered in the fallen angel's church. He could then sense the presence of power from within Alexandria. Her power was very resemblant to Raynare's, but rather weaker than hers. Issei's left hand started to freak, shudder, and tense up, as if something bad was happening or going to happen.

"Issei, you're more than welcome come along with us." Alexandria reasoned to Issei.

"NO! I mean...I'd really love to, but the thing is Ihave somewhere to be and I don't wanna be late." he later reiterated.

"Oh. Well, it's cool. If ever decide to change your mind, you know who to call." Richie said.

"Sure thing, I'll see you later."

"Bye, Issei. It was nice meeting you." Alexandria grinned and waved.

"Yeah, same to you." Issei responded back as the two walked to their left side toward a sidewalk that lead them to the nearby church. Issei watched as he kept walking forward thinking.

"That girl. She has the same sense of power Yuma had. It felt so surreal, but it was little weaker than her. Is she…a fallen angel? And Richie…what was she doing with her?"

*FLASHBACK*

"Thanks, it was nice meeting you Issei." Richie said extending his right arm for a handshake.

"Hey, same to you too." Issei responded extending his left arm to accept his handshake with a firm grasp as both teens saw visions of each other's dragon, with Richie seeing the Red Dragon Emperor and Issei seeing an Indigo Dragon Empress that has the same look as Ddraig but a tad smaller with a different color.

"Just walking along with my new girlfriend. Alexandria, meet Issei. He's pretty much the first person I've met and hung out since I came here."

*END FLASHBACK*

"OH SHIT!" he exclaimed turning around back to run the opposite direction that leads back into the hyoudou household where Asia and Rias are currently at. "He's gonna fall into the same trap I did and that fallen angel bitch is gonna kill him. Just like me when I met Yuma or how Asia died when she took her sacred gear. Wait a sec..that vision I had earlier." he paused.

Issei thought well in his mind when he and Richie made first contact, remembering how he saw an Indigo Dragon much familiar to Ddraig. He then had a sudden epiphany.

"Could it be that...Richie has a sacred gear inside him?" Issei starts to question.

Issei checks his phone to open his gallery folder in search of the picture he took with his phone. The picture he took of Richie has a glowing green dot located on the back of his right hand. He thinks it could be a glitch in the photo process or the lights in the arcade. He then decides to test it by taking a picture of his left hand where the spirit of the Red Dragon Emperor resides. Issei hits the shutter button, waits for the picture to load, and when the loading was complete there was a green dot showing on his left hand. His experiment was right. Issei was staggered by the results.

"Oh no! I gotta warn Rias and the others, fast! Before it's too late!" He exclaimed as he continued running back to his house.

AT THE CHURCH

It was now sunset. Richie and Alexandria made their way towards the front entrance of the church.

"Well, here we are, at my church. My brother should be cleaning the altar for a bit as he gets through cooking. Hopefully setting things up for the movie."

"Great, even after that lunch we had. I'm still pretty hungry."

Alexandria opens both doors of the entryway inside the church. The inside of the church's sanctuary itself was num average like any other church in town. Supporting 10 rows of pews on each side with a long blue carpet going down the aisle.

"This is a good looking church. Much bigger than the one my mom makes us go back home."

"I'm glad you like it." She smiled.

"So, where's the rest of the other people?" Richie questioned.

"Oh, you're just the very first one to show up. They'll be here in a little while, don't worry. In the meantime, why don't I show you to the room you and I will be staying for the night." she says having her shoulder wrapped around him.

"Sounds good to me." he agrees.

Alexandria escorts Richie to the altar of the church. Two doors were on each side of the church. She takes him to the right side of end. In front, was a big brown door that made a big creaking noise when it was opened. The echo of the noise can be heard from all the way inside the church. Upon entering, Richie notices that the insides of a huge room was completely empty. No windows, no TV, no mattress, not even an actual bed. The room was an empty space, nothing but dark, murky, brick walls surrounding it, along with a dimmed down light bulb, which was the only thing luminescent in the center of the room.

"Is this our bedroom?" He asked.

Seconds elapsed, Alexandria did not respond.

"Hey Alexandria, did you hear me? I mean, I'm a fan of huge spacious rooms as much as the next guy, but this feels really weird." He responds, but no response back from Alexandria.

"Hello?!" He started to shout as he walks in further toward the center of the room.

*SLAM*

His body stood frozen for a moment by the sudden sound of a door slamming behind him. He rushes with toward the door until…

*PRICK*

He felt a sharp stinging sensation on the side of his neck, as if a hornet came down and stung him hard. His finger felt the point where the pricking of his neck took place, when he felt a strange thin liquid flowing from the side. As he felt it, he had first thought it was blood coming down, but it wasn't, instead was some sort of suspicious blue liquid. He then came to the conclusion immediately that he was injected by some sort of drug. Richie tried and tried to get back up on his feet, but the further he tried to get closer to the door, the more the drug took effect to his body. Immediately slowing down his mobility to stand or even move. The drug stopped him dead in his tracks, lying on his back, making him paralyzed. Richie then hears footsteps nearby him. Loud footsteps mixed with the sounds of rattling chains. The person walking by next him was none other than Alexavier, Alexandria's twin brother.

"Well, howdy-hoop-de-doo to you. I believe we haven't met yet. Names Alexavier." He introduced face to face as Richie lied flat on his back, only seeing the face of the twin brother with black wings sprouting out of his back. "So you're the little assclown that went out on a little rendezvous with my sister, eh? What did you two talk about that day? No, wait let me guess! Where you two are from, what about your likes and dislikes, or how about the thought thinking that this was a "sleepover" and that you were gonna some "action"? He laughed hysterically loudly.

"W-What are you gonna do with me?" Richie whimpered. "I'm sorry! I would never ever go down on your sister like that! See, she came onto me and, she felt like she needed someone. Please don't hurt me! I never meant for any of this to ever happen." He pleaded.

"Woah. Woah. Chill out kid. I'm not gonna hurt ya."

"Y-You're not?"

"Nah, "hurt" is a very weak choice of words. Besides, you got some spunk going out with my sister. You look like the type of guy that would do no harm. You're alright." Alexavier soon accepted.

"Whew, that's a relief." Richie sighed.

"Now, I would let you go, buuuuuut that's too easy. I'm not gonna go out like that."

"Then what are you gonna do with me" Richie questioned.

"Oh it's quite simple really." He responded revealing unleashing his sharp, very luminescent light sword. "I'm gonna take that lousey sacred gear of yours from your poor retched soul! Say ahhhhhhh!" he shouted raising his light sword up high when a certain someone opened the door with great force make cracks behind the brick wall.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!" Exclaimed Alexandria.

"SIS, WHAT THE FUCK! I WAS JUST ABOUT TO TAKE THIS BOY'S SACRED GEAR. JUST LIKE YOU SAID." he shouted back almost decapitating Richie with his light sword.

"NOT BY FORCE, YOU ASS!" She shouted. You have to do an extraction procedure, just what Uncle Freed said. Honestly, you're so close minded sometimes. You always have to resort your way!"

"Hey, look who's talking, !" Alexavier teased.

Richie looked up at the two arguing about the whole situation. The drug was still in effect in his system, making him tired even more. He tries to do whatever he can to fight the drug by keeping his eyes opened and alert, hopefully to overpower drug. Alexandria looks over at the drowsy teenager with an evil smirk on her face knowing that Richie is going to face the inevitable.

"Besides, we got what we wanted and it's lying down right in front of us. All we have to do is extract the Dragon Empress out of him. Using its power and the sacred gear, we and the fallen angel race will be unstoppable. Oh what it would be if the governor of the fallen angels were to see this!"

"Shall I summon the priests then, so no one would disturb us while we do this procedure."

"Hmmmmm, nope. No priests are needed. I think I got this under control." She insisted.

"Are you sure want to do this? Think about the consequences you'll receive from Uncle if you manage to screw this up."

"No need to worry little brother. I already told Uncle about our plan and he willfully agreed with no avail." She informed him.

"Wait! Our plan!?" Alexavier shouted.

"That's right. So if I screw up, I'm taking you with me and we both suffer the same fate. Got it!?"

"I swear sometimes you always find a way to bullshit on me."

"That's what big sisters are for and I don't think any angel or a filthy devil is going to infiltrate this church until we get what we want." She says looking down at Richie raising her be big, black boot above his face.

"Angels? Devils?" Richie thought as his eyes were nearly shut when…

*THUD*

"Nighty Night, Richie. Hahahaha!" she laughed maniacally.
