"What if Issei joined the Phenex family?"

A High School DxD Fanfiction by Christopher'Zazel

Chapter 12 "Double CliffHanger!"

Scene (Unknown Home, Kuoh)

"Nice try, little devil! Oh, now you're trying too hard, it's so precious! Missed again, you LITTLE SHIT!" As this psychotic looking priest dodged each of Issei's attack's with ease, he looked over toward little Ravel, (who was standing in the middle of the room with her eyes held shut). "I know, maybe I'll give that cute one a few holes, swiss cheese style, what do you say?"

It seemed as though this crazy man was not paying attention to Issei as his jaw felt a sudden sting to it. (PUNCH)

Issei watched as his gauntleted fist connected with the face of this white haired menace, only to have the priest fly backwards and through a level of drywall. (CRASH)

Taking a deep breath, Issei looked firstly at Ravel and then his gauntlet. "Boost!" (BOOST!) Issei then looked at the large hole in the wall, waiting for this strange man to get back to his feet. "Get your punk ass up, I ain't finished with you!"

Ravel heard Issei and slowly opened one eye. She immediately noticed the now unconscious nun which made her want to help. Seeing the girl suddenly cough, Ravel ran over and kneeled down next to her.

"Issei, I don't think she's going to make it. She has multiple gut wounds, not to mention her limbs." Ravel begins to sob softly as she takes hold of one of the nuns mangled hands.

Issei grinds his teeth. "Come on, get out here! Don't make me come in there!" Still facing the large hole, Issei then speaks in a quiet voice. "Ravel, please, if there is anything you can do, don't let her die."

Ravel sighed sadly. "Issei, we have a healing medicine called Phoenix tears and I have a vial. But her injuries, they are too much, even for such a potion. Poor girl."

"Damn it, damn it… WHAT KIND OF MONSTER ARE YOU!?" Issei screamed as tears flew from his eyes.

"Oh no, (cough cough), do you have a weakness for little blondes or something?" The white haired priest stepped out from the broken wall as he casually patted the dust from his clothes.

"Why!? Boost!" Issei grunted. (BOOST!)

"Why?" With his pistol still in one hand, the man casually shrugged. "I suppose it's because she wasn't following my orders." The man then showed a very crazy grin as his tongue stuck out in an unnatural fashion. "MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I HAVE A WEAKNESS FOR BLONDES TOO! BLONDES THAT BETRAYED THE CHURCH BY USING HER POWERS TO SAVE A FILTHY DEVIL! A WEAKNESS FOR MAKING HER…HEHEHEHE… HOLY!"

Remembering the state of the bleeding nun behind him, (her body was riddled with punctures), hearing this disgusting joke from the crazy man, Issei couldn't help but want to hurt him, badly.

"Boost!" (BOOST!) Issei felt incredible even though he was beyond angry.

Taking the time to place his feet properly, the enraged teen made a single step forward while his fist was prepared for a strike. Instantly, (as he was moving forward and to his version of events), the room they were in seemed to blur as Issei's speed was incredible.

The white haired man seemed to crash back into his original hole as the sound of multiple walls being destroyed could be heard. Meanwhile, Issei stood next to the broken drywall with his fist raised.

"That felt good." Issei took a deep breath.

Ravel screamed from behind. "You, go after that freak, I'll figure something out, don't worry about it!"

Turning around to get a look at the little Phenex princess, Issei watched as she was kneeling near a dying and blonde nun. Ravel had a very serious look on her face as she held the girl's hand.

"I won't let her die, Issei." Ravel nodded.

Issei nodded back and rushed his way through the hole in the wall.

Ravel looked back down at the dying girl as she showed a warm smile. "Don't worry, the pain will stop soon and you'll be as good as new. Just give me one second."

Using her free hand, the little devil reached above her head as a small fiery and orange portal appeared. Once manifested, Ravel continued to reach through the portal as she soon pulled back her hand while holding a small and golden colored box. The small fiery circle dissipated as Ravel opened the box which revealed a velvet and felt-like material on the inside. Looking back at the nun, Ravel's attention was drawn to the girl's hands.

"You have a sacred gear, don't you, hun?" Ravel reached with her free hand and pulled a chess piece from the golden box. "Magic huh? Okay, well I think this should suffice." Ravel's warm smile remained as she placed a polished and orange colored bishop piece on the girl's chest.

The blonde nun coughs violently and Ravel doesn't risk wasting another moment as she releases the girl's hand.

"Okay, do your thing, evil piece! Live for me from now on, um.." Ravel was trying to remember what that crazy guy called her. "Um well, nun lady? No, wait, ahem… Live for me, Asia chan!" Ravel holds out both of her hands over the blonde girl as orange and yellow energy seems to be emanating from both parties involved.

Issei noticed a gold colored light coming from behind him through the hole. "Everything okay out there, Ravel chan!?"

As we pan out on a dusty Issei, we notice that he is holding onto the neck of an unconscious crazy-priest. The once flawless face of the man was now that of hamburger as Issei slowly began to make his way out and back into the main room where this light was coming from.

"Oh, yeah! Yay, it worked! Um, oh, Issei, yeah don't worry, I'm okay!" Ravel's voice sounded overjoyed.

Pulling the priest's body through the hole after himself, Issei could see Ravel, (still kneeling where she was), however the nun, the nun, was sitting upward.

Dropping the limp and unconscious white haired man onto the hard floor, Issei ran over toward both girls while crouching down. "Are you both okay?"

Ravel smiles brightly while holding onto both of Asia's shaking hands. "I'm alright and so is my new bestie, Asia chan!"

Asia looks around at both Issei and then Ravel as her green eyes wander back and forth. "Um, hello? Thank you for saving me."

Issei couldn't help but notice how cute this nun was. Through her hood, the girl had long and flowing golden hair. Her skin was pale and her figure was delightfully petite.

Hearing the man on the floor, making a groaning sound, Issei turned his attention back onto the freak of a person while showing a scowl. "What's up with this guy? Miss Asia, were you and him working together?"

Asia takes a large and dry gulp before slowly nodding.

Ravel looks back at the priest. "He looks to be an exorcist. That gun of his looked like it was from the church, he's probably got other weapons on his person."

Issei replies as he begins to frisk the priest. "Exorcist? How's that?"

Asia interrupts. "Erm, Freed and I are both outcasts of the church."

"Freed?" Ravel shows an intrigued expression.

"Freed Sellzen." Asia frowns.

"Sellzen, Sellzen…hmm, that last name sounds familiar. Oh, wait, your name is Asia and you said you were also an outcast. Hmm. Asia, is your last name Argento?" Ravel's blue eyes began to widen.

Asia nodded. "I am Asia Argento."

"Oh, wow! Score!" Ravel was now swaying Asia's arms along with her own in excitement. "I've heard about you! So, that's why your sacred gear seemed familiar! You've got twilight healing!"

Issei scratched the back of his head while smiling nervously as Asia had a confused and confounding blush.

"Yes, I can heal people." Asia's blush intensified.

Issei tilted his head while noticing that Asia's mortal wounds looked to be less mortal. Yes, she was still in bad shape, but she looked to be in a stabilized condition.

"Ravel chan, I thought you said those Phoenix tears wouldn't work on her, so how?" Issei looked back at Asia and then at Ravel again.

Ravel stood up and showed a warm smile. "Issei, Asia Argento is now my first Bishop. I turned her into a devil."

Asia's eyes suddenly increased in size by two times. "What?"

Issei gained a frown. "Oh. Was there nothing else that could be done?"

"I'm a devil!? And to think that I thought the lord hath forsaken me when I was merely an outcast, but a devil!? No!" Asia attempted to stand up but her wounds made her fall back to the floor, however, to her surprise, the boy named Issei was holding her up in a bridle style.

"I'm scared!" Asia turned her head into Issei's chest and proceeded to make a muffled scream.

Issei looks back at Ravel, (who now has a very worried frown). "You did the right thing, Ravel chan. I'm proud of you, saving her life as you did. You're a good person."

Ravel nods however her frown remains. "I didn't have time to tell her, I'm sorry."

Issei looks down at the crying Asia. "Hey, Asia chan is it? Look, it's going to be okay. I'm a devil too and you know what?"

Asia looks back up at a now smiling Issei. "What? (Sniff Sniff)"

"Turns out that devils are just like people, you've got good ones and you've got bad ones. So far, the only bad things I've met are angels and priests, but I'm sure there are good ones too. I can vouch for Ravel chan over here. She's one of the really good ones." Issei nodded while maintaining his smile.

Asia looked over Issei's shoulder and at Ravel. "You're a good devil?"

Ravel's frown turned upside down as her smile was very contagious. "Asia chan, nobody is ever going to hurt you again! My peerage is going to adore you!"

Asia blushes. "Okay, please take care of me."

Issei nods. "Alright, now that that's out of the way, what are we gonna do with your "Freed" buddy over here?"

Ravel shrugs. "Well, I would say that we could let mother handle him, but…"

Issei makes a worried frown. "Spankings…"

Ravel nods. "For everyone involved."

Issei thinks hard. "Well, I could have the president take care of this bastard? She'd know what to do."

Ravel shakes her head rapidly. "No! Sona Sitri would take you from me! Out of the question!"

Before another word could be uttered, the sounds of multiple foot steps could be heard, approaching from the home entrance.

Ravel runs up to Issei and hugs his torso while the teen is still holding Asia. "Eeek, did you hear that?"

Issei quietly nods. "Yeah, but I think it's…"

"Issei!?" A very familiar voice spoke out as the approaching people could now be seen.

None other than Sona Sitri, Tsubaki Shinra, Rias Gremory, Akeno Himejima and Koneko Toujou were standing in the hallway. Then a crashing sound could be heard from behind Issei. (CRASH!) Walking through yet another large hole, (this time coming from the back side of the home), Tsubasa Yura came marching forward while brushing her fists off of drywall material.

Turning his attention back onto a now confused looking Sona, Issei glanced at both Ravel and then the girl in his arms, Asia. "Um, President, I can explain!"

Scene (Phenix Mansion)

Walking down one of the large and golden embroidered hallways was Riser Phenex. She was wearing a maroon colored nightie while carrying a large and comfy pillow in her arms. Having a small frown on her face, Riser looked to be in some kind of personal dilemma.

"Riser doesn't need to explain anything. All I need to do is demand that I be allowed in and before he has a chance to say anything else, I'll just, well, I'll just…" A blush forms on the golden haired woman's cheeks. "I'll take him. Simple."

Almost walking past the door she was headed for, Riser took a moment and a deep breath before proceeding to knock softly. Placing a hand near her mouth, Riser blew some air so that she could smell her own breath. Satisfied that there was nothing offensive, the woman continued to wait. Not getting any response, Riser knocked again, (this time a bit more loudly).

"Hyoudou, Psst, I'm coming in then…" Riser slowly turned the door handle and peeked inside.
