Ranma 1/2, High School DxD, Darkstalkers and the rest are owned by their respective owners. I own nothing.

If only I did.

Chapter 22

Issei stood there with his hair over his eyes. "My children, my family..." Images of his parents, of Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Kiba, Irina, Xenovia, Rossweisse, Ranma, Lilith, Motohama, Matsuda, Azazel, Kunou, and even Ophis all flashed in his mind.

"Issei!" He could hear Rias's voice calling to him.

"Issei!" So many others called out to him and he trembled.

"Daddy." A voice he didn't recognize but his pupils shrank as his eyes went white and blank.

"Jedah..." Issei said softly. "You can..."

"Yes?" Jedah asked before jerking in surprise as Issei lifted his head, revealing a compeltely furious expression as his eyes glowed bright red and boosted gear formed on his left hand, only on top of it was a blaster cannon.

"GO TO HELL!" Issei's voice roared as he pointed the his cannon at Jedah and fired a gigantic blast of energy that seemed to spiral and engulfed the armored Devil with no effort at all.

"Heh, knew he wouldn't take it." Ranma smirked, before his smirk slowly faded and he looked concerned. "Wait, something's not right."

"You tried to use my family against me..." Issei declared, only, it wasn't just Issei's voice. It sounded like D'draig was speaking at the same time as Issei. "AND NOW YOU WILL PAY!"

The roar that came out of Issei's mouth wasn't human as it sounded like an angry animal while flames erupted from his body.

"Is he going Juggernaut?" Vali asked as the erupting flames kicked up a wind that made it hard to see. On top of that, the power he felt from Issei was starting to make him excited. After a little bit, the winds died down and he, Ranma and Jedah all looked at Issei.

At first, he looked like he was in his Crimson Cardinal form, but there were differences from what Vali and Ranma had seen in images. The gems on his body were a bright gold color, black lightning streaks covered the center of his chest and gauntlets and the wings on his back were white. There was an aura of red energy that surrounded his body as he raised his head and arms before letting loose a roar of power that shook everyone to their bones and even caused the energy surrounding the energy tornado to crack and shatter.

"Boost." A monotone voice said. "Transfer."

Jedah sneered as he pointed his replica True Longinus at Issei and fired a large blue beam. "Fine, if you won't join me, just die."

Issei lowered his head and held up his left palm at Jedah and to the shock of everyone, a black sphere of power formed in it. "DIE! JEDAH!"

The sphere was launched forward and quickly grew in size, cutting through the blue beam of power with ease, causing Jedah to quickly duck out of the way.

"What the actual fuck?!" Vali gawked in shock as the orb flew off before hitting the ground, exploding violently. "That was the Power of Destruction, how in the name of my family does he have access to that?!"

Ranma shook his head. "I don't know, there should..." His pupils shrank as he remembered something. "Oh fuck! That's right! Issei was working on synchronizing his aura with Rias and Xenovia before and when he and Xenovia finally got in synch, he had access to her Holy powers..." He went completely pale. "Oh..."

"Crap." Vali finished as he realized the same thing Ranma did.

"Fine!" Jedah sneered as he used another boost to increase his abilities. "I'll just have to get close. All it will take is one touch and you've lost." He rushed forward before disappearing.

Jedah reappeared right next to Issei with his hand inches away from Issei's shoulder when Issei spun and, using his right hand, grabbed his wrist, much to Jedah's shock as he tried to get free from Issei's grip. "JEDAH!" Issei screamed as a ball of destructive energy formed in his left hand. Jedah gripped his spear and thrust it forward, only for Issei to move to the side, letting the spear pass him before he slammed the destructive energy into the spear, destroying it. "FOOL!"

The only warning Jedah had was a small crackling sound before lightning crashed on him from above, causing his whole body to light up like a Christmas tree. Issei let go of his arm and punched Jedah in the chest, shattering his armor. "GAH!" The Devil screamed as the punch was accompanied with a large orb of energy, sending him crashing to the ground in a powerful explosion.

When the explosion cleared, Jedah was on his hands and knees, his armor cracked and falling apart. His helmet was destroyed, revealing the blue-skinned Devil angrily glaring up at Issei. "Fool..." He raised his hand up. "You..." He snapped his fingers, "touched me!"

"Divide."

"Boost."

Two monotone voices spoke up at the same time, causing Issei to jerk as his power was rapidly being drained to nothing.

"Boostboostboostboostboostboostboostboostboost!" D'draig and Issei's voice yelled out in harmony as they boosted so fast that Jedah found his eyes widening in surprise.

"N...No! This is too much! GAAAAH!" Jedah screamed as he clutched his side. "STOP!"

"Boostboostboostboostboostboostboostboostboost!"

What happened next shocked Ranma to his core.

"JEDAH!" A large, single blade sword formed in front of Issei as he grabbed it and rushed at the fallen Devil, slamming the sword into Jedah and causing a massive explosion of demonic energy.

"That was the sword Kiba tried to use against Xenovia." Ranma gasped in surprise.

Blood flowing freely over his body, Jedah gasped in pain before his large scythe formed in his right hand. "FUCK OFF!" He screamed and slashed at Issei, severing Issei's sword hand. Jedah grinned as he realized that his scythe was still enough to hurt and even kill Issei. His grin left his body as Issei grabbed his sword hand and put it back on his severed arm and a light green glow covered his arm. "...You can use Twilight Healing too!?"

Issei let out a roar and launched himself forward, slamming a knee into Jedah's stomach. Before Jedah could recover, a large armored fist slammed into his face, sending him crashing to the ground where he bounced several times before spinning and sliding to a stop. "JEDAH!"

"Great, he's devolved to the point of only being able to say my name." Jedah groaned as he stood up. "A Boosted Divide should drop his power to zero instantly, so why..?" He looked at Issei and wondered why his plan didn't work. Even if Issei currently had as much power as most Gods, he should have been defeated, even boosting from zero meant that there should have been nothing there to boost anymore. "Unless..." Jedah's eyes shrank as he looked at his right arm. "...It's a replica, so it doesn't have the same immediate effect?" Jedah started to chuckle. "Oh you have got to be kidding me! The ability divide doesn't cut in half because of this replica Sacred Gear, but causes the statistical values to drop to half? They decrease like a freaking gas tank in a car?"

Which meant that until the statistical values hit where they were supposed to go, there was still values that could be boosted.

"Great!" Jedah laughed. "Instead of instantly dropping his ability to zero, it becomes like some video game with numbers that decrease over time!" He looked at Issei as he let loose a roar and a black and red sphere formed in front of his hands and he launched a large sphere of destructive energy. Jedah smirked and put out his right hand.

"Boost."

"Divide."

As the blast struck his hand, two monotone voices spoke up at the same time, Jedah grinned as he felt the energy start to dwindle and dissipate before dissolving completely. "How pathetic. No matter how strong of a blast you fire at me, I can simply make it go away in one..." He stopped monologuing and his eyes went wide as Issei was right in front of him, slamming his left hand into Jedah's face and slamming him into the ground.

Issei let out a roar as he held Kiba's destruction sword and slashed at Jedah, leaving a deep cut across his chest and down to his legs. He then slashed upwards in the opposite direction, leaving a large X-shaped cut on his front as he stumbled backwards, only to get kicked in the jaw and knocked backwards into the desert sands.

"I carved my own path to this point." Jedah groaned as he flipped back onto his feet and hundreds of spinning blades formed around him and launched themselves at Issei. "You followed your wrath." He grinned as lightning crashed down around Issei to destroy the spinning blades. "But maybe we're both the same? We both want to protect what's important to us."

Issei's body only glowed brighter as more power built up around him. The energy focused around the sword in his hand before it shattered under the weight of the power. Letting loose a roar, Issei didn't seem to care as the power swirled around him.

"Heh, killing both of us at the same time, huh?" Jedah asked as he felt the armor around him cracking and falling apart. "Fine! I'll meet you head..." He trailed off as an energy blast the size of a city bus crashed into Issei from the side, sending him flying away. "What the fuck?"

(-)

A short moment ago...

Vali frowned in confusion. "How can he use powers and Sacred Gears that aren't his?" He looked at Ranma. "Seriously, you seem to know what's going on, so what's he doing?"

Ranma gave him an incredulous look. "I seriously have no fucking clue! This isn't Juggernaut Drive, this isn't anything I've ever seen before! For all I know he somehow brute forced his way into mastering his Sacred Gear and can draw upon all the power of everyone he loves and..." Ranma trailed off as he realized that's what was happening. "Oh."

"...That explains things." Vali smirked as he watched Jedah getting knocked around and cut apart. "This will end quickly."

Ranma looked at Issei with narrowed eyes and shook his head. "No, something's wrong."

"He doesn't have full control of it, master." A new voice spoke up and Ranma's eyes widened as he and Vali turned to see Lilith walking towards them. "His life is burning up since he's just acting on instinct and has no clue how to regulate his energy."

"Lilith?" Ranma gasped as she was in her succubus form, only her hair was purple, except for the tips, which were green, and she had a long, green ponytail on the back of her head. Her eyes had changed, her left eye was still red, but her right eye was green. "So you merged with Morrigan, huh?" Ranma gave her body a once over and smirked. "Your boobs are bigger."

Lilith smirked at hearing that. "Thank you, Master. Yes, the ones known as Morrigan and Lilith have fused together and I've been reborn again, so when this is over, you'll get to take my virginities for the third time." She looked at her right hand as energy formed around it and turned into a bat before disappearing. "I could stop him, but I haven't had a chance to adjust to this power yet and I'd probably kill him."

"So kill him." Vali huffed in annoyance. "Though I suppose that wouldn't be fair to his women."

"Aww, you do care." Lilith smirked at him. "But, Master, you'll have to fight him all out, can you do that?"

Ranma nodded as he glowed green and his armor formed around him again. "Yeah. I'll undo the seal on the King's piece to let me keep up with him. I assume you'll face Jedah?"

Lilith grinned and nodded. "Yes. I don't care if I kill him. He is someone who Morrigan should have killed ages ago. I have to thank him though, if not for him, Lilith wouldn't have been born to meet you."

"Why do you keep talking about yourself in third person?" Vali asked as he formed his armor.

"Because I'm neither Morrigan nor Lilith. The fusion merged us together and created a new person." Lilith answered. "We'll figure out a new name later." She held up her hand. "Ready? GO!" A powerful blast rocketed forward that was larger than Lilith's body and nearly knocked Ranma and Vali off of their feet.

"GO!" Ranma yelled as he and Vali rushed forward behind the beam, which slammed into Issei and sent him flying away.

Jedah, who was covered in cuts, struggled to get to his feet and looked up as Lilith walked towards him. "Lilith... No, Morrigan, no... Liligan, I suppose." He chuckled as he staggered while trying to stand up. "I guess I have you to thank for surviving that brute's attacks?"

"Only so that he doesn't die, because his women would be sad if that happened." Lilith said before pausing. "...Liligan, huh? Not bad, I'll think about it." She narrowed her eyes at him. "But, Jedah, I didn't save you. I'm going to kill you myself. For my father and everyone else your madness hurt and killed, I'll stop you."

Jedah growled as he reformed both Sacred Gear and Divine Dividing on his body while his scythe appeared in his grip. "Foolish Succubus!" His body glowed as he reactivated his Balance Break. "Don't get cocky!"

Lilith smirked at him. "If I wanted to get cocky, I could simply grow a dick." She cracked her knuckles. "For you, though, Jedah, I'm going to tear you apart so you can never revive."

Jedah let loose a roar as he leaped at Lilith in anger.

End Chapter 22

Yes, Vali and Ranma vs Issei, who's in his Mastered Balance Break. Well, sort of. Like Lilith said, he doesn't have full control over it, I guess you could call it a forced awakening and thus he still needs to work on it to use it to its fullest extent.

And Lilith vs Jedah, I wonder how that's going to go down.
