Highschool DxD is, any form, not mine. They are owned by the author and the only things that I own are my OC's and some plots.

As he said those two words, Azazel started to glow brightly, making everyone avert their eyes to not blind themselves. After the light faded, in the same spot where Azazel was has been replaced with a person wearing gold plated armor. The armor glows with sparkling radiance and looks just like a dragon. He then unfurled his six pair of wings, scattering some feathers around the place.

"I studied the Vanishing Dragon and other dragon-type Sacred Gears and produced this, my masterpiece artificial Sacred Gear. This is the Downfall Dragon Spear in its pseudo-Balance Break form, the Downfall Dragon Spear Armour." He said, producing a huge light of spear in his hands.

Everyone can feel a dragon's surge from beyond the armor. A powerful aura is being emitted from his whole body that beating Kokabiel would be easy and swift. While Issei and the others are sporting shocked expressions, Takeshi smirked, at the best of his wolf abilities, to show his amusement. He noticed that Issei is talking to Ddraig, but he payed it no heed.

[He made the Sacred Gear go into a Burst state and did a forced awakening, making it somehow run out of control. The Sacred Gear will break once the armor disappears. Does he intend to use that so-called artificial Sacred Gear only as a disposable?] Ddraig said to Issei. While he is still pondering on the newly gathered information, Vali suddenly laughed.

"As expected of you, Azazel! You really are amazing!" He said, laughing a bit more. Azazel then turned to face Vali.

"Vali, I also like to be your opponent, but... Please get along with the Welsh Dragon." He said. Hearing that, Issei suddenly started to get nervous.

"Don't kid around! I don't want to get along with the likes of him! And, fighting Azazel seems fun." Vali replied.

"It's based on a Dragon endowed with power, right?" He asked, making Azazel nod.

"Yeah, I just sealed the Gigantis Dragon Fafnir in this artificial Sacred Gear. And then I copied the designs both from the Welsh Dragon and Vanishing Dragon. I still haven't seen if this would be a success or nah." He replied.

Issei looked a bit confused at the mention of the Gigantis Dragon, which didn't go unnoticed by Takeshi. He started to shift back on his human form, also doing some more magic so that he would be even just half-naked when he transformed back to human.

"Gigantis Dragon Fafnir is one of five Dragon Kings. Originally, there were six Dragon Kings but Tannin, one of the Dragon Kings" got revived into a devil" He explained, getting an "oh" as a reply from Issei.

As they watched the fight, he knew that Azazel would win but a small part in him is wishing that he will win without any serious injuries. Suddenly, he felt something tugging the back of his head. Knowing that someone is reaching out to him telepathically, he let the person in.

"I will proceed with my plans to attack and provoke the Red Dragon Emperor to gauge his strength. Don't go in between our fight." Hearing the voice, he knew that it was Vali and he sighed.

"You know me. I don't interfere with battles, unless the person I'm siding on is about to lose, that's when I only interfere." He said.

Looking secretly at Vali, who was floating, he saw him nod. Getting the reply, he looked back at the fight. Most of them are watching the fight in awe in which he got a feeling of pride swelling in his chest as people look in awe at his father.

When the fight is about to end with Katerea losing, she suddenly stopped and pulled out a bottle with a black snake inside. Seeing this, Azazel studied it for a bit before knowing what it is while Takeshi, just having a glance, widened his eyes in shock. He quickly looked at Vali.

Sensing that someone is looking at him, Vali turned to Takeshi's direction and he nod. Seeing that he saw it, Vali went back on looking at the fight. Takeshi sighed and the small part in him just got bigger. He sighed once more.

'Damn, I've been sighing a lot lately.' He thought.

He averted his attention at the fight and looked at the others. While looking, he saw that most of them are done with dealing with the magicians. His eyes quickly searched for Akeno, panic slowly rising when he still can't find her. When he saw her with Rias, the panic in him quickly dissipated and he smiled internally as he looked back to seeing Katerea swallowing Ophis' snake. Once she finished swallowing, a sudden surge of power went around her body. Feeling this surge of power, Azazel quickly resumed the fight.

They watched in awe at the display of powers from the both of them. After a while, they see that the fight is ending soon with Katerea losing, even with the added power. Sensing this, she quickly attached a black rope-like thing around Azazel's left arm and she smiled smugly. Everyone looked at her curiously as to what is the thing attached to him.

"Even if I fail, I'll take you down with me!" She exclaimed. Hearing that, almost all of them get tensed at what she said.

"So you plan on taking out a leader of the three powers even at the cost of your life, interesting." He said as he looked at his arm.

The smug look on her face remained as she thought that she had the Governor but, without any kind of hesitation, he sliced his left arm off. Seeing that, all of them held shock expressions while Vali held an amused smirk and Takeshi with the mixture of the two expressions. The smug look on her face is gone and was replaced with the expression of fear as she blew up.

Seeing his opponent die, he flew down in front of them while clicking his tongue since his armor was released from him. He looked down on a jewel-like object in his hand.

"So that's the limit of an artificial Sacred Gear. Can make some improvements still. Well, as long as the core jewel is safe, I can still remake it. Our journey together is not yet done Gigantis Dragon Fafnir." He said as he lightly kissed the jewel. Suddenly, the man in the white armor descended from his place at the sky.

"As expected of you Azazel, making a working artificial Sacred Gear. However, it has been released from you, still needing some more study." Vali said as Azazel looked at Vali and points at him.

"So Vali, what will you do? Shall I be the one fighting you? Even without the artificial Sacred Gear and only an arm left, I can still take you on." He said as he made a spear of light and pointing the tip of it at Vali. Vali then glanced at Azazel, who quickly took on a fighting stance, and suddenly asked a question.

"Don't you think destiny is cruel?" He looked at all of them. Takeshi's eyes suddenly widened a bit at the realization that Vali is now proceeding with his plan on provoking and gauging the strength of the generation's Sekiryuutei.

"On one side, there's the strongest existence that someone can think of with a Maou and a Legendary dragon mix like me, while on the other side, there is this mere human like you which possesses a legendary dragon as well. Say what you want, but don't you think fate is that cruel? Even though we're rivals with the same type of dragon, there's this large gap, to great to explain, between our powers." He said, shocking the lot of them, even Takeshi who knew of his plans. Issei then pointed at himself with a shocked expression. When Vali saw this, he nodded with amusement in his eyes.

"Yes, I mean you. I investigated you for a bit. Your father is just an ordinary office worker while your mother sometimes takes part-time jobs as an ordinary full-time housewife. The blood relatives of both your parents are completely ordinary. There are no ability-users or people who practice magic or any supernatural things among your ancestors. Your ancestors also has nothing to do with devils and angels either. You really are ordinary. Your friends are also ordinary, except for the amount of lust inside you and your friends. You were just an ordinary high school student until you died and be reborn as a devil. Without your Sacred Gear, you are nothing!" He said as he laughed with a pitying expression.

"When I saw all of those information about you, I got so disappointment that I laughed. I thought "Ah, this would be my rival. I give up!" If your parents have at least encountered or been a part of the supernatural for a bit, that would completely change my thinking. Wait, that's it! What do you think about this story? What if I make you into an avenger?" He asked with excitement in his eyes.

Issei looked at him, confused. Others as well, but Takeshi knew what he means. Shocked by the things that are pouring out of Vali's mouth, he was about to charge forward but someone blocked him. He looked up and saw Azazel, shaking his head. Sighing, he stand down and watched everything unfold.

"I will kill your parents, that would make you an avenger. Sounds good right? If I do that, your personal history would be a little more interesting." Vali added, making Issei, who just got what he means, glare at him.

"I'm going to kill you, you bastard!" Issei mumbled.

"Like you said, my father is an ordinary office worker who works from morning to night while my mother is just an ordinary housewife who makes delicious food for our family. However, they raised me up to this point of my life. To me, they are the best parents." Issei said clearly.

"Kill them? They have nothing to do with this so why should they be mixed up with us?" He added, sending out killing intent towards Vali.

"I'll be damned if I let my parents get killed by someone like you!"

[WELSH DRAGON OVER BOOSTER!]

As if responding to his anger, the Boosted Gear started to release a strong bright red aura. As the ring that Azazel gave him became a sacrifice for the Boosted Gear, a timer suddenly appeared at the jewel of his Boosted Gear, giving him more time than the first time he used it but not giving him more than fifteen minutes of use.

"Look Albion, Hyoudou Issei's power went into an incomparable amount with the help of a simple trigger called rage. But, this surge... Hahahaha!"

[Sacred Gear simply uses strong emotions as their food in exchange of power. Hyoudou Issei's rage is at its genuine limit, and was pointed at you. Only straightforward people like him can draw out the dragon's power.] Albion replied.

"I see. So his greater affinity with his dragon is also explained through this reason." Vali said, in a realizing way.

"However, you still aren't clever Hyoudou Issei! Your intelligence is insufficient to control Draig, and that is a sin!" Vali said towards Issei, seemingly making him more angry.

"Stop talking about things that I don't understand!" Issei retorted.

"Your way of not understanding things is why you are called an idiot!"

Having enough of their bickering, Issei rushed towards Vali. Seeing this, a mask suddenly formed at his face and moved out of Issei's tackle. Regaining his balance in mid-air, he dived at Vali again while extending Ascalon from his gauntlet and unleashed an attack. But still, he couldn't hit even a single strike at Vali, who was dodging him with light movements.

[Vali, that sword holds dragon-slaying power. If it hits you even once, you'll receive a great deal of damage.] Albion warned.

"But there's no meaning to it if it doesn't hit Albion!" Vali replied.

As they continued their assault, Takeshi and Azazel tried to clear the people out as far as they can to keep them safe from the fight of the two dragons. Quickly looking at the fight, he couldn't seem to wrap his head on what Vali is trying to do, even though Vali had already warned him about this. Shaking his head to keep his mind back to his task, he led them far from the fight, but not too far to not see what's happening.

"Did you know this is gonna happen?" He heard someone asked behind him. Looking back to see Azazel looking at him, he nodded.

"Yes, Vali had told me about what would happen here."

"And you didn't even told us." Azazel replied with an emotionless tone, which shocked Takeshi but he controlled his face to retain the blank look.

"It was bound to happen, and you know it." He said back.

"Yes, I did expect that Vali would betray me at some point, given by his fight-loving nature. But, I did not expected that you would be a part of this thing."

"I wasn't a part of it, I just knew about it. Like a bystander, knowing things yet not doing anything about it." He replied and walked a bit nearer to the fight.

As they looked back at the fight, Vali landed a blow at Issei's chest, making his legs tremble. Looking at his armor, they saw a crack on his armor that was caused by that hit.

"So this is my rival. Ha! What an embarrassment! So weak, too weak! Hahahaha!" Vali taunted.

"Ise!"

Hearing the voice of Rias, Issei quickly looked at her. Seeing the worry in her eyes made Issei be filled with will as he don't like to look uncool to the woman he fell in love with.

[Divide!]

Hearing that word, Issei's power suddenly vanished. But it was suddenly restored back when he heard the familiar word from his gauntlet as he activated his Sacred Gear.

[Boost!]

[Partner, the power that was halved from you was restored by my power. But, the Vanishing Dragon's other ability is troublesome.]

'What do you mean Ddraig?' Issei asked.

[The power that was halved from his opponent's power was then added to himself. In other words, the power that was taken from you was turned into his own power.] Ddraig said.

'S-so, even if I reset from minus, he will become plus?!'

[That's right. However, no matter how strong and amazing the host is, they still have their limits. Power that goes beyond his capacity is released from the wings in his back and he keeps maintaining his power limit without destroying his body.]

"Come on, come on!" Vali said with an excited tone.

Seeming to enjoy himself, Vali fired an endless amount of magic bullets. Issei, having nowhere to go, kept getting hit by the magic bullets that left heavy damage. As Vali continued attacking, he resumed talking with a tone that was becoming irritating to Issei's ears.

"Your attacks are also dull. You just went in. It's worthless in that case. What a waste of treasure. Your use of power is also unskillful, like you really are! In this case, the rival showdown between the Hakuryuukou and the Sekiryuutei will be-"

Gooooooooooon!

Vali's speech was cut off by Issei, who made magic power spout from his jets and plunge into the barrage of bullets Vali was firing. He didn't even cared if he was being hit by the magic bullets as he focused all his power on one point. He also threw away his defences just so he can reach Vali. His armor, being struck by an endless amount of magic bullets, was being destroyed little by little and his mask was shattered.

"So, you're charging? You really don't know anything about combat, to go as far as doing the same tactic over and over again. Something like that-"

As his sentence got cut off again, Vali created a shield of light to defend from Issei's charge but what he did shocked Vali.

"Ddraig! Transfer power to the stored Ascalon!"

[Understood!]

[Transfer!]

A surge of massive power flowed to his left arm as the power was transferred to Ascalon. As he punched the shield of light, he destroyed it with no trouble and hit Vali in his face. Receiving that attack made Vali's posture bend as cracks started to spread from his mask to his helmet. As it started to crumble, a part of his face peeked through. After punching Vali, Issei quickly grasped his hand around the base of his wings of light.

"Apparently, the effect of your Sacred Gear comes from here. If that's the case!"

[Transfer!]

Transferring his power to the Vanishing Dragon Scale Mail left Issei feeling that his power was suddenly removed from his body, leading him to know that it consumed a lot of his stamina and magic power yet he doesn't seem to care.

"I'll raise the power you absorb and emit all at once! Leading to the extent that you can't deal with!" He exclaimed.

"Kuh!"

Suddenly, all of the jewel in the Vanishing Dragon Scale Mail started to nonsensically glow white, red, blue and yellow over and over again. As that was happening, Issei felt the dragon power that he felt in Vali suddenly disappeared. By doing this, he overloaded the Vanishing Dragon Scale Mail, resulting to it stopping its functions.

[Vali, regain your posture at once!] Albion exclaimed. Reacting to Albion, Vali crossed his arms to defend but Issei have other plans.

His left hand that was filled with Ascalon's power punched through Vali's defences, destroying the gauntlets on both of his arms. Not stopping the momentum, Issei directed his attack at his abdomen, shattering the Scale Mail around Vali. Fresh blood flew out of his mouth as he stepped back unsteadily while clutching his abdomen. As blood kept pouring at the edge of his mouth, Vali smiled in joy.

"Amazing! My Sacred Gear was blown off So you can do it if you really tried. Just what I was expecting from my rival-"

He was cut of yet again as Issei sent another blow to his face.

"I made it reach and hit you! You're the only one I won't be satisfied with if my fist doesn't hit your face!"

As Issei thought that he had beaten Vali down, he heard Draig click his tongue. Looking down, he saw that Vali's armor was, once again, returned to its original state, shocking him.

[The battle between the Two Heavenly Dragons doesn't end until the host can no longer fight. It is next to impossible for you to beat him with just a limited time! The best plan is to run, but you can't do that, right?]

'Of course! There's no way that I could leave Buchou behind!'

[Then what will you do? The difference between his power and yours is still wide. You could do some damage because of the Scale Mail, but it would be useless because of the limited time! Will you surrender?]

Issei thought for a way to defeat Vali. Suddenly, an idea popped in his mind but he hesitated for a bit. Thinking about how he's wasting his time made him snap out of his negative thinking and decided to talk to Ddraig about his plan.

While they were conversing, Takeshi scanned the area for any signs of danger. He saw a few magicians by the forest and, as fast as lighting, went there and made quick work of their bodies that even just a squeal wasn't heard from them. Looking down his body, he saw that his torso has splashes of blood. He quickly wiped it off with the robe of one of the magicians. Quickly going back to them, he then saw Issei grabbing what looks like a jewel from the Hakuryuukou's armor.

"Vanishing Dragon! Vali! I'll be taking your power!" They heard Issei said, making some of their eyes widen.

They watched as he smashed the jewel that was at the back of his right hand and placed the jewel he acquired from the Hakuryuukou at its place. Suddenly, a silver aura sprang at his right hand and wrapped around the right side of his body. He felt a sudden throb inside him and then a wave of indescribable pain washed over him.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed.

"AHHH!"

"AHHH!"

"AHHH!"

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed more as the pain overwhelmed him.

"-! You intend to take in my power?!" Vali said, shock was evident in his voice and face.

[What a reckless thing to do, Ddraig. We are existences that opposes each other. What you are trying to do is just an act of self-destruction. Do you intend of annihilating yourself by doing such a thing?!] Albion asked indifferently.

[GUOOOOOOHHHHHH!] Ddraig let out an agonizing scream. However, as he was screaming, it also contained laughter.

[[Albion! You're as inflexible as always! Over countless eons, we've lodged inside hosts and continued to fight each other! We're just repeating a cycle!]

[That's right, Ddraig. That is our destiny. Even if our hosts are different, how we fight is still the same. You gain power, I steal power. The side that uses its Sacred Gear skillfully deals the finishing blow and the battle ends. This is how it always has been, and always will be.]

After hearing Albion's speech, Ddraig let out a fearless laugh.

[Since meeting with my current host - Hyoudou Issei - I have learned one thing. Anything is possible with determined stupidity!] Hearing that made Issei dumbfounded but he quickly shook it off.

"Respond to my feelings!"

[Vanishing Dragon Power is taken!]

After hearing that, his right hand was then wrapped in a dazzling white light. Then, a white gauntlet suddenly appeared at his right hand.

"So this is Dividing Gear." Issei said, thinking that it might have looked a bit awkward since its only until his right arm's elbow.

[Impossible! Such a thing is impossible!] Albion said, shock evident in his voice.

"I got the idea when my fused together holy and demonic, and produced things like holy demonic swords. It seems like it was possible to achieve it because the balance has collapsed from the non-existence of God. If I borrow the words of the leader, it is a state where there are things like system errors or program bugs." Issei explained.

[So you're saying that you used the imperfections of the "Sacred Gear program" and achieved this? No... but such a thing is... even if you think of that, to actually doing it is just foolishness. No one knows what will be the outcome of the fusion of two opposing powers. When it is something concerning dragons, you might die, you know? No, it is only natural for you to die.] Albion said.

"It was reckless -But, I did survived." Issei replied. He then heard a sigh from Ddraig.

[But, it certainly made your lifespan shorter. It is a lot even for devils that live almost endlessly.] Ddraig said.

"I don't have any intention to live for ten thousand years. But, since there's a lot of things I wanted to do and try, I'd like to live at least for a thousand of years or so." Issei replied.

Clap

Clap

Clap

They all looked up to see Vali clapping at Issei with an amused glint in his eyes.

"Interesting. Then, I would also be a bit serious! If I win, I'll halve all of you and everything that surrounds you with the power of the Hakuryuukou!" Vali exclaimed while he floats in the air and opened his arms wide. The wings of light in his back grew in size. Takeshi narrowed his eyes at this as he thought on what he means, trying to check every memory he have with Vali to see if it was mentioned to him.

"Halve? What do you mean about halving my surroundings?" Issei asked, confused at his words. His question was then replied by a laugh.

"Ignorance really is scary! It actually might not be bad if you die without knowing!"

[Half Dimension!]

Hearing that, Takeshi's eyes widened and he quickly set his gaze on Vali, who was surrounded by a dazzling aura after Albion's voice spoke from his Sacred Gear. He pointed his hand at the trees that was spread out below him. Suddenly, the thickness of the trees were halved in an instant.

Gubabababan!

More of the trees were compressed and halved.

"Hyoudou Issei, let me clearly explain it to you." A voice suddenly spoke, making Issei look at it's direction and saw Azazel.

"That ability halves everything in his surroundings. In other words, if Vali, the Hakuryuukou, became serious, then Rias Gremory and all the girls boobs will be halved." Azazel explained.

Silence engulfed them as they heard the explanation of the Governor of the Fallen Angels. Takeshi rubbed his temple with his thumb and forefinger as he heard the explanation come out of his father's mouth. He held himself back to go over Azazel was and smack him hard on the head. Issei, hearing the explanation, was suddenly filled up by fury that came from his heart as he looked at the girls.

Takeshi, didn't know what to do, looked around. He saw Issei look at Rias while Rias shuddered, making him massage his temple.

"DON'T FUCK WITH MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" He suddenly heard, making him snap back and look at Issei with a slight fear.

"You fucking bastard! You intend to halve the size of my Buchou's booooooooooooooooobs?!"

[Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!]

"I won't forgive you! I will never forgive you! I'll destroy you Valiiiiii!" He declared, followed by more boost being heard by everyone.

He quickly charged towards Vali with his killing intent all at Vali. While that was happening, they then heard someone laugh so loud that Takeshi covered his ears.

"AHAHAHAHAHA! What the hell is that?! His power drastically sprang up just because of the thought that his master's breasts might become smaller! Seriously?!" Azazel exclaimed, making Rias blush in embarassment while Takeshi massaged his temple to stop himself from smacking Azazel on the head right now.

Issei looked at Azazel with a small glare for laughing about it, since it wasn't a laughing matter for him. His head is filled with thoughts of Rias' breasts, that he hasn't touched, rubbed and sucked on, shrinking. Because of this thoughts, he realized that they could never understand each other. Thrusting his finger at Vali, the trees behind Vali were blown away from the force.

"Just try to make one move on Rias Gremory, my master, and I will thoroughly destroy you to the point that you wouldn't be reincarnating anymore you halving bastard!" Issei exclaimed, clearing the clouds in the night sky in the process.

"This day is just full of surprises! Who would have thought that this much power would explode because of the thought of shrinking a women's breasts. But, it really is interesting." Vali said before charging at Issei. Suddenly, Vali was thrown off-guard by feeling a kick on his side. He then flew away a bit.

"Gah! How are you so fast? Have you exceeded my speed!?" Vali asked, shocked from Issei getting away and hitting him. Suddenly, Issei appeared in front of Vali with rage in his eyes.

"This is for buchou's breasts!"

[Divide!]

They heard him exclaim, at the same time hearing him activate the Hakuryuukou's power that he acquired on the jewel he got earlier. He then felt the drastic decrease of the aura covering Vali.

"Gah!" Vali spat out bile while Issei continued his barrage of punches.

"This is for Akeno-san's boobs!" He exclaimed as he hit him on the face, breaking his helmet in the process. While Issei is thinking ofAkeno's bouncing breasts, Takeshi couldn't hold the growl that erupted from his chest because of hearing what Issei said, making the people near him look at him while Azazel, who also heard it, chuckle.

"This is for Asia's still growing boobs!" The jets that Vali's wings of light is located were destroyed. Asia blushed at his statement.

"This is for Xenovia's breasts!" Kicking Vali vigorously as he flew in the air.

"And this, is for Koneko-chan's breasts that would disappear if I let you halve them!" And he tackled him down until they reach the ground, with Vali's back the first to get the impact. Koneko glared at Issei while Takeshi pat her on the back.

"Gahah!" Vali vomited blood during the impact. Issei then stood up and looked at him.

"Koneko-chan worries about her small breasts, you know?! And then you'll halve it?! I won't allow it! I will never allow that! Don't you take away anymore breasts from that child, you got that?! You damn halving bastard!" He yelled out. Koneko looked like she wanted to charge at Issei and beat him up but she was held by Takeshi, who held a disappointed look in his face. Hearing that, Vali just smiled.

"... Interesting. Truly interesting."

[Vali, I already finished analyzing his halving power. When compared to the control method of your power, you can handle it.]

"I see. Well, I'm not afraid of him with this." Hearing that shocked Issei and almost everyone.

"Albion, do you think his worthy enough now to see the Hakuryuukou's Juggernaut Drive?"

[Vali, it is not a good choice in this current time. If you just recklessly enter Juggernaut Drive, Ddraig's curse ma be removed.]

"It will work out, Albion.

I, who am about to awaken, in supreme justice

Issei looked confused at what Vali is chanting but almost everyone held shocked expressions. Takeshi looked like he was about to go there and stop Vali himself, but he held himself back.

[Don't act foolishly Vali! Is it your desire to be at the mercy of my power?!] Albion bellowed.

Suddenly, a silhouette came down the space between Vali and Issei, making him stop the chant. Looking at the man, he is wearing an ancient Chinese armor from the Three Kingdoms period.

"Yo, Vali!" The man said cheerfully while saluting at Vali.

"So it's you, Bikou. What are you doing here?" Vali asked as he stood up and wiped the blood off from his mouth.

"Aren't you cruel?! I made a long journey and came all the way to this island country because my partner is in a pinch, you know? The guys at the headquarters were making a fuss because we're teaming up to fight the northern country gods, you were suppose to flee right away when the mission failed, right? Katerea failed to assassinate Michael, Azazel, and Lucifer. In that case, your observation role is over. Come back with me." He said.

"So it's already time, I see." Vali said.

"Who are you?!" Issei suddenly asked, pointing at the man who was talking with Vali.

"He is the descendant of the Victorious Fighting Buddha." The one who answered was Azazel. Seeing the confused face of Issei, he cleared his throat for a bit before answering.

"To put it in terms you know, he's Son Goku. The famous damn monkey in the Journey to the West."

"S-S-S-S-Son Goku?!" Issei stuttered in shock. Because of the shock, his anger quickly vanished.

"To say it correctly, he is a monkey youkai that inherited Son Goku's power. However, it is really the end of the world that even you joined the Khaos Brigade. So, you're the Son Goku to the Hakuryuukou. What a good match." Azazel said, getting a laugh as a reply from the man who is the descendant of Son Goku.

"I'm different from the first-gen that became a buddha, I just live doing the things I like. My name is Bikou. Nice to meet you, Sekiryuutei." The man, who is now identified as Bikou, greeted Issei casually. Then, he spun around a cane that just appeared in his hand and pierced it on the ground, making a black hole below them as they sink in.

"Oh wait!" Bikou suddenly said. He quickly scanned the crowd and saw Takeshi, who noticed his eyes. He then gave a small smirk before spinning his cane around and pointing it at Takeshi.

"Extend!" He exclaimed.

The next events came so fast as the cane pierced through Takeshi's abdomen, almost going out of the other side. Looking at Bikou, blood slowly drip down from his mouth as the cane quickly shrink, pulling out as quickly as it entered him. As blood gush out from his mouth and wound, he fell down on the ground. All of them are shocked at what happened before one of them snapped.

"TAKESHI!" Akeno screamed as she rushed towards his side.

Seeing this, Issei quickly looked towards Vali and Bikou and saw that they have disappeared from the spot they were before. Akeno then flipped Takeshi gently as she saw him still conscious.

The last thing he saw was Akeno crying while holding his hand. The side of his lip twitched as he held himself from smiling. He raised his hand, the one she wasn't holding, and wiped the tears that is on her face. As he was wiping, he feel himself slipping into unconsciousness. Trying to assure her that he will be fine, he gave her a small smile before his hand slumped down and everything was silenced.

"TAKESHI!"
