Hello readers, Dragonfan6 here! It took me longer than I liked, but I finally made a new story for everyone to read besides Devil's Arc! I hope you enjoy!
At 7 years old, he got dealt a bad hand when the old Satan Faction came for him, taken from those he loved, and forced to endure Hell for years. Upon escape, he devotes himself, day and night, to getting revenge. Doing whatever it takes to hurt the faction and make them regret what they did to him. That is until the day came when his path for vengeance led him to death's door, and then into the arms of an attractive red head offering him a new life. Now he must choose whether to continue on the path he chose to embrace, or the new life offered to him. Either way the world of angels, devils, and those in-between will learn the name Issei Hyoudou, the man who will burn a path to the future as the Red Dragon Emperor!
Highschool DxD Fanfiction, with minor crossover elements from other animes such as Seven Deadly Sins by Nakaba Suzuki.
Stronger (but not by much at the beginning), less perverted, and slightly darker Issei.
This will be an Issei x harem story. Typical I know, but it really wouldn't be a Highschool DxD fanfict without one I figured.
As is the case of all fanfiction, I have no ownership over the original content. Highschool DxD is the creation of Ichiei Ishibumi, and any elements I use from other animes belong to their own individual creators.
Hope all who read this will enjoy it, and I looks forward to your feedback at the end.
Chapter 1: Origins though Fire
Narrator's (feel free to guess who) P.O.V.
So stop me if you've heard this story already.
In the beginning there was nothing.
And I mean nothing, like the pitch of pitch black.
Then one day this guy come out of who knows where, and decides that's not good.
Now this guy is someone you're bound to have heard of before, or at least one of his names.
Elohim, Yahweh, The Father, The Lord, or as most know him by, God.
So, as I was saying, God didn't really like this empty void so he gave his infamous, "Let there be light!" line, and then boom!
Within moments an explosion of light burst out, and from that light, the collection of stars and rock which make up what we know as the universe was born.
And yeah sure, the big G said this was good, until he realized something.
All the power in his hands couldn't take away the one feeling that constantly plagued the creator of the new universe.
Loneliness.
So God, with all his infinite power and imagination, started creating living beings to help keep him company.
And soon he made living creatures of light and an energy he called magic; with big old wings he thought made them look even more majestic.
He called them angels, and said they were also good, or something like that.
Though while they were all made of the same stuff, he gave them their own appearances and names.
Names like Michael, Gabriel,... and Lucifer.
He then made a kingdom for himself and his angels he called Heaven.
A nice cozy place where the big man could watch over his creation.
And that's how it all went down for awhile.
At least until God's right hand man Lucifer decided playing second fiddle to the Father of Creation wasn't enough anymore.
So, after whispering a few sweet words into the ear's of his brethren, old Luci got one third of the angels to team up with him, and attempt to overthrow God and those who chose to stay loyal to him.
Attempt being to key word.
While Lucifer's side might have taken a few of their fellow children of God out during the battle, God's side ultimately won, and rounded up the remaining rouges.
Some might wonder to this day why the creator didn't simply erase them with a word, maybe he couldn't bring himself to wipeout his own children, or maybe he thought the punishment he gave was more severer.
In the end, God made the call to banish his rebellious son, and his troops to a world he deemed to be the polar opposite to Heaven.
A dark world that future generations would address as Hell.
And so the rouges were cast out by the power of God with so much force that the universe around them became a massive blur until they crashed into solid ground.
Upon recovering, the Angels looked around to find their new home being a vast collection of dark mountain tops, and storm clouds.
Something else that was different besides their environment was their own appearances.
In the past the Angels had gold hair, glowing skin, and feathery wings.
Now they had new features like a lack of glow to their flesh and their hair and wings being stained in black.
These features would become the staple for the entities now known as fallen angels.
Appropriate given how they literally fell into their new home.
And although they could still use the power of light, it would always be to a lesser degree as a reminder of what they lost in their rebellion.
Something the other fallen took great pleasure in reminding Lucifer of as they attacked and blamed their decent from grace onto him.
While Lucifer was definitely stronger than the average angel, even he found himself too weak from the war and fall to overpower the horde who then proceeded to throw him off the mountain top they stood on; right after ripping his twelve golden wings from his back that is.
Meanwhile, God chose to go back to his roots and start creating again.
This time with a planet he called Earth, a cesspool of life consisting of plants, and animals.
And at the top of them all, was the animal he called man.
Now they weren't much in terms of power, but man did they now how to adapt.
Or at least that's what was appeared to be the case for God's two prototype humans named Adam and Eve.
For awhile things were back on track as far as the big man was concerned, until another unfortunate event came to pass.
A certain angel managed to sneak his way into the garden where the first humans lived, and managed to persuade Eve into breaking the one rule God gave to her and her hubby, who she then persuaded break as well.
What was that rule you might ask, eating an fruit.
But not just any fruit, this little beauty came straight from the Tree of Knowledge.
One bite from it, and you gain knowledge over the concepts of good and evil, right and wrong, and whatever else in between.
As a result, God had to enforce his rules by kicking the human couple out of The Garde of Eden, and punish the fallen who tainted his children.
So yeah Adam and Eve had to go out and face a new big world, but luckily they did well enough to adjust and eventually get the race of man jumpstarted.
And while they might not have exactly lived in a world of peace and harmony, the humans managed to live long enough to spread around the majority of their big blue home.
Some of the humans over the centuries even learned how to channel magic.
Eventually other creatures came to exist in the world thanks to God's will.
As for Lucifer, he was definitely not happy about what happened.
Well let it never be said Lu isn't one tough bastard.
He not only survived the second fall regardless of all his injuries, he went completely mad with rage.
Something that the dark energy of this world seemed to be drawn to upon making contact with him.
And as it invaded his body, he began changing.
his hair bleached from golden blond to a light silver-white, black markings covered the majority of his body, horns sprung from his head, and a new set of powers.
Including the ability to create and manipulate darkness to shape weapons and other constructs much like the ones of light he once made.
Thanks to all that dark power, Lucifer eventually gained the strength needed to use magic the same way God did to make the inhabitants of Heaven and Earth.
Albeit he took much longer to makes them than the G man did.
While they did come in their own unique shapes and forms, they also inherited black markings and some of the powers of their creator.
Guess even through his hatred, Luci couldn't help but want to be like his old man and create life in his image.
From that day forward, he was no longer Lucifer the Morningstar and God's first and most beautiful Angel.
He was Lucifer, the king of the newly forged devils.
And once he decided his army was big enough, he rolled out for another war against Heaven, who at the time had entered into a war with the fallen who were trying to force their way back into the holy city of the angels.
The resulting clash between the three factions resulted into a war which not only effected Heaven and Hell, but also the inhabitance of Earth.
Resulting in the Earth born races either hiding or joining in on the fighting.
Though in the case of the humans, unless they were the one's who were able to get their hands on magic, they were not so lucky.
So to help them have more of a fighting chance, God gifted many of them with something he called the Sacred Gears; items or powers which gave their human host unique albites to help best defend against the chaos of war.
And thus the battles continued in their cycles of death and destruction for a century or so, with no single side getting an advantage over the others, and no clear view of an end.
Until the day came when two titans showed up on the battlefield in their own clash.
Now before going any further, let me talk about about one of the few races who weren't created by the will of God or Lucifer.
Dragons.
To put simply, these guys are pure manifestations of magic that come in the form of massive winged lizards with the power to breath out elemental attacks like fire and even had their own hierarchy.
With two of the strongest dragons in that hierarchy being the red and white Heavenly Dragons, Ddraig and Albion.
And these guys really earned their place near the top of the draconic food chain, with only two other dragons in the world above them.
In fact when Ddraig and Albion would clash, whole environments around them would be left destroyed or completely reshaped.
Taking multiple casualties from all factions of the war.
Something all sides agreed was a problem, and thus came to an agreement to join forces to take down the two powerhouses.
The Heavenly Dragons definitely didn't make things easy though.
Just one of them were strong enough to take a significant number of troops from all sides, and two was just leading up to ridiculous death ratios.
But eventually the scaly suckers found themselves overpowered, and their souls ripped from their bodies by God's power.
And for reasons unknown to the rest of the factions, God chose to place these souls within two special Sacred Gears called Longinus; a set of 13 Gears said to be so powerful they were also sometimes addressed as, "God Slayers," by some people.
The factions were able to finally take a breather before the question arose.
What were they going to do now, continue the fighting, or let this be the last battle of the war?
Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on who you ask, that choice was taken out of their hands with the appearance of a new threat.
You see, when you mix residue from magic attacks thrown around a battle field, and the negative emotions of those fighting said battles, you get the manifestation of destruction itself.
The factions titled it, Trihexa, The Beast.
Basically imagine a giant monster made up of various animal parts, with its' most distinct features being it's seven serpent heads and ten horns, and a real apatite for destroying everyone and everything unlucky enough to catch its' eyes.
And thus the Factions had to take down another titan of a monster with almost no time to recover from the fight with the dragons.
This was truly the bloodiest and most costly battle of the whole war, and the fight with the apparently unkillable beast ended up in the loss of far too many lives.
Among them being Lucifer and his lieutenants; Beelzebub, Leviathan, and Asmodeus.
Eventually though, The Beast was overpowered, and sealed away into an inescapable prison by God himself.
The last act of power God would show.
Because before anyone could even announce their victory, God began breaking down into particles before the eyes of everyone who could see him.
The big man's top Angel Michael took it the hardest that day, even tried calling out to everyone for help when it finally dawned on us that the great creator of the universe was dying.
And once that thought sunk in, all the Angels began panicking and trying to share what little magic energy they could with God in order to save him.
Even some of the fallen angels who actually came to regret betraying to their maker tried stepping in.
Until God ordered everyone to stop, confirming there was no stopping what was happening now.
And yet, he wasn't even mad or sad about what was going on.
In fact, he actually looked at piece with what was taking place, claiming he already knew this was how the war would end.
Before going however, he gave a few request such as, "Let me be the last one to die in this war. It's time this comes to an end."
Whether it was out of respect for him, or an agreement that they lost too many of their own people, the faction agreed to stand down for now.
He then announced the Archangel Michael as his successor, much to the reluctance of Heaven's second in command.
Finally, he gave a warning to all that someday events would take place that would lead to Trihexa's freedom, and that when that time comes, they will need to do what's needed to survive.
With that, God, the one who spoke the universe into creation, vanished; leaving behind his creations to pick up the pieces and try to carry on.
And while it wasn't easy, the centuries that followed allowed all factions to get back some form of normalcy after spending so long at each other's throat's.
Under Michael, the angels were able to recover with the numbers they still had, even though they no longer had God around to make more of their kind to recover the legions they once had.
Then Michael gathered his people, and together they agreed to cast a mass memory wipe spell that would affect everyone but themselves, the leaders of the fallen, and the strongest of the devils.
The memory they wanted erased, God's passing.
The reason being because Michael believe that if the worlds of man and the supernatural knew the truth, they would slowly loose the ability to hope and push through dark times.
Thus Michael made the the illusion that God was everywhere, and always their for his children even when they didn't believe so.
Sappy yeah, but kind of wholesome when you look at it.
Next were the fallen who though the guidance of their brilliant and dashing Governor General Azazel, proceeded to lie low as they began boasting their ranks though either convincing their brighter kin in Heaven to fall and join their ranks, or make them by, "getting busy," with each other and/or humans.
Which funny enough, would be the leading cause of angels falling post Lucifer's rebellion due to the more lusty emotions associated with the action of procreation.
Then their were the devils who also went back to Hell after the war to lick their wounds.
Unlike the other two factions however, their new leaders, the children of Lucifer and his generals, were actually gearing up to restart the war once they felt they had recovered enough for a sneak attack.
That is until a splinter group of the creatures of shadow known as the 72 Pillars rose up and chose to follow in their creator's footsteps an attempt to overthrow their current lords.
They believed that another war could lead to their whole race going extinct, and also to prove to themselves they did not have to follow their leader's views on devil being inherently evil.
They wanted to show that like all other races, devils have a right to choose their own paths as well.
Thus began the devil's own civil war.
And while lives were lost on both sides, the Pillars were able to succeed in their rebellion and force their former leaders, and those who still stood with them, out of Hell; remaining it The Underworld.
Along with the new name, the Devils of the new society were able to reshape the landscape of their home from it's hazardous environment into something more akin to Earth's; albeit with an eternal night with a purple skies.
How they accomplished this was thanks insane power of the new leaders who took up the names of Lucifer and his generals, dubbed the Four Great Satans.
And out of three main Factions, the devils were able to solve their population problem not only though procreation (which they came up with a real fun solution regarding that idea might I add) , but also through a system created by the former heir to the Astaroth Family, Ajuka Beelzebub.
With this new system, an individual of another race (with the exception of angels, fallen, a beings of higher power), could be reincarnated as devils themselves.
Finally there's the races that inhabit Earth.
The more supernatural individuals like vampires, werewolves, yoki, and so forth chose to recluse themselves into smaller, well hidden communities; and the humans who weren't born with a Sacred Gear or the ability to use magic ended up growing to believe these creatures were nothing more than myths and legends.
So was the new order of creation established, and while the factions had little skirmishes, the races as a whole were able to maintain some form of piece.
All while waiting for the day when the scales of order would be tipped, and the balance broken.
Unknown Location (Normal P.O.V.)
Within a dark hallway a figure in dark robes covering the majority of their body can be seen dragging a smaller figure by the back of it's tattered shirt as though they were simply carrying out a bag of trash.
Soon the robed character came to a small door way which was soon opened to reveal a dark dungeon like room with one bed and a single candle for light, the figure then threw the prone one in without a care.
The smaller of the two simply let out a weak grunt before rolling onto its' back to show itself to be a thin boy of 12 years old with pale skin, short brown hair, and ruined cloths consisting of dark grey shorts, and light grey shirt.
Along with these features, the boy also had some smuggest and scars across the parts of his body that could be seen.
The robed one simply scuffed before closing the door on the poor child.
At the same time this was happening, a new voice made itself known.
"Issei!" shouted a higher pitched voice before a new figure from a corner of the room ran to the now named Issei's side.
The girl herself wore cloths similar to the boys, but the rest of her appearance consisted of pale skin, short grey hair that stopped around her neck and covered one of her sapphire blue eyes while leaving the other to look on in panic as she gently shook Issei.
Soon the boy opened his brown eyes to look up at her, resulting in her breaking out into happy tears before she laid her head on his chest while wrapping her arms around his neck as gently as she could.
Only for him to groan out an, "Ow," to let the girl know he was still feeling sore.
So she quickly, but carefully, disconnected from him before helping him up and onto the bed where he could rest in a more comfortable position on the mattress while she laid next to him with her nose tucked into his shoulder.
Meanwhile Issei was focusing on taking deep breaths to take his mind off of the pain he felt so he can hopefully fall asleep.
When he eventually did however, he was visited by his worst, and most recurring dreams.
Dream/Flashback (5 years prior)
At 7 years old Issei Hyoudou grew up in a nice neighborhood in Kuoh Town, Japan, with two loving parents.
Gorou Hyoudou, father of Issei, and office worker in his 30s who shared the same hair style/color as his son, but with a darker shade of brown eyes.
When not in the office, he would spend his time with his family doing activities like taking his child out fishing.
issei's mother, Miki Hyoudou, is an attractive woman of the same age as her husband with long brown hair kept in a low ponytail and brown eyes like her son.
She spends her days as a housewife who diligently takes care of the household, and her beloved son when he wasn't at school or with his friends.
All in all, Issei to this point would say he had the dream life of happiness a child could ask for.
That is until Issei learned that his best friend in the whole world was moving away to England due to her father's work.
Her name, Irina Shidou, a tomboy with chestnut hair, violet eyes, and fair skin, who Issei had been friends with as far back as he could remember.
When learning about this, the kids were understandably upset about the ordeal and would spend that whole month trying to convince their parents to reconsider, only for them to regretfully enforce the fact they could not stay no matter how much they wished to.
Irina spent a couple days after getting the news locked up in her room crying, while Issei moped around.
Eventually, the boy went to the Shidou residence, and convinced her to come out of her room by reasoning with her that they should use the little they had left together to try and make happy memories.
Thus the two would spend everyday after school at Issei's house while her parents got their affairs in order doing homework and then playing together before going to either's house for family meals.
And when the last week came along, the kids were able to convince the adults to let Irina have a week long sleepover at the Hyoudou residence, with the young girl claiming she wanted to be with Issei as much as possible before they would have to be separated for who knew how long.
Sadly, all things come to an end, and the Shidous had to say goodbye.
Irina was letting her tears flow freely while saying how she didn't want to go, while Issei let her know he understood.
He then gave her one of his favorite action figures saying how he wanted her to have something to remember him by, and that they would always be friends no matter where they were.
All while giving her his most reassuring smile before being pulled into another tight hug.
Afterwards, the best friends let go and Irina got into the back seat of her parent's car; looking back to wave at Issei as the Shidous drove away.
It wasn't until the car made a turn and vanish did Issei finally let his smiling façade crumble into tears as his parents wrapped themselves around him, whispering how everything would be okay.
If only they knew the truth.
Two or so days later Issei would wake up one night to some strange light flashing into his room, causing him to open his eyes and see an unusual glowing circle covered in symbols on the wall in front of him before two figured walked out.
Both being tall broad figured individuals garbed in thick dark cloaks with hoods pulled over to shadow their faces.
"Is that him?" the one on the left asked in a voice that identified the figure as a man.
To which the cloak wearer on the right answered, in an even deeper male voice, "Yes, this is the boy we were sent to get for Lord Lucifer."
Issei found himself frozen in shock due to two men spontaneously appearing in his room and talking about how they were looking for him, much to his confusion.
As the brown haired boy finally worked up the resolve to shout out for his parents, the man on the left quickly appeared before Issei, moving faster then normal human speeds to look the child straight in the eye before speaking again.
"Now now, we don't want to bother your parents with unnecessary shouting do we? So why don't you just calm down, and go back to sleep?"
Even at the age of 7, Issei deep down knew that he should not be listening to a word this man was saying.
However, while looking into the man's visible dark eyes, waves of transparent energy pulsing out of them as the child was compelled to listen to every word coming out of his mouth, until said boy boy found himself relaxing against his will while his vision went dark, and he found himself falling back into the welcoming embrace of sleep.
The next time Issei would wake up he would find himself thrown roughly onto the ground, and after shaking the drowsiness from his mind, he looked up to find himself no longer in the familiar warm and welcoming space of his room, but the cold dark confinement of what looked like an old dungeon cell like the ones he saw in movies about knights, castles, and dragons.
"Look at how confused the human looks," the voice of one of the men from before said while chuckling in amusement, with his partner soon joining in on the chuckling.
Choosing now was the best time to be brave, Issei stood up and shouted at the two men to tell him where he was, and why they took him.
"Aw, look at the little human. It thinks it can ask questions," said the cloaked individual who was responsible for knocking the child out earlier.
He then walked over to Issei until he was less than a foot away, and then backhanded the boy so hard he went crashing into the nearest wall.
And while he did not hit it hard enough to leave any injuries or knock him out, the impact was still strong enough to hurt Issei and nearly bring him to tears.
To which the two men simply laughed in amusement.
That is, until a new magic circle opened up, and out stepped two silver haired men, with one of them giving off a presence that screamed authority and the fear of others.
The more intimating individual had the appearance of a man in his 40s, with dark silver hair styled in a somewhat spiky fashion on top with two long strands framing each side of his face going down to the same level as his shoulders, a short beard covering a good majority of his chin and jawline, hazel colored eyes, white robes with purple and gold accents, and armor consisting of dark grey pauldrons and a breast plate with gold accents.
The one behind him had lighter colored hair fashioned in a braid, appeared 20 years younger, and sporting silver robes completed with detailed accessories.
The older man then locked his cold uncaring eyes onto the young Issei before addressing the two other men.
"You are sure this is the child you were looking for Euclid?" he asked the man behind him without breaking eye contact with the brown haired child.
"Yes Lord Rizevim, he is indeed the Sacred Gear user you have been looking for," answered the man to the now named Rizevim.
To which the silver haired man responded with a small smile that only made his stair at Issei that much more intimating.
"Good, you two have done your job and may now go, I'll be handing the child from here," said Rizevim as he turned to look at the other two who nodded.
Only for all to stop as Issei speaks up again.
"Why am I here! I want to go home!" he shouted out with tears on the verge of spilling out of his eyes.
In response, Rizevim turned his head just enough to look back at the small boy and answer with, "Oh you poor child, you are home now. You are now our property, until the day you are of no use to me. I would say enjoy your time with us, but the fact of the matter is that we'll be getting all the enjoyment out of your stay."
With that, the man let out a fit of laughter before he and his companions vanished via magic circles.
Issei tried to grab onto the silver haired man, but was to slow, and thus found himself falling face first into the ground before breaking out into a fit of tears brought upon by fear of the unknown, and sadness of not having his parents with him.
The moment would soon be interrupted by the sounds of someone sneezing, thus drawing the boy's gaze towards the left corner of his sell where he saw a figure around his size on what appeared to be a bed, with them being completely wrapped around in blankets with only their blue eyes showing though.
And while neither knew it at the time, the two kids had just met the person who would help them endure the hell they'd have to face in the years to come.
End of Dream/Flashback
At this point the now 12 year old Issei has awoken from the dream reminding him of the worse day of his life.
Or rather, the first of many, which taught him two valuable lesions.
The ones holding him referred to themselves as devils, like from the bible, and they were not going to be letting him go no matter how much he begged.
Facts he came to when he saw them show their true devilish forms, and received intense beatings every time he tried convincing them to let him go back to his family.
Issei's first days consisted of being dragged out of his room, taken to some lab where the devilish doctors would draw blood with syringes, stab him with another syringe that pumped some red liquid into his body that left the poor boy screaming in pain while shouting how it burned, get dragged back into his sell to roll up into a ball and cry it out before eventually getting fed, and then going to sleep.
This process was repeated for a month until one day he noticed something odd.
One day after receiving an injection he found that while there was a burning sensation, it actually only hurt for a second before washing away, leaving the brown haired boy shocked for a moment and even a little relieved.
That is until the doctors grabbed him and dragged him away to a new location that Issei would soon learn was a training ground where the devils would move on to the next stages of experimentation before blasting him with a bolt of magical energy that knocked him flat on his back, leaving a large burn on him in the process.
Thus his new life became, injections, getting shot at by magic, healed before being thrown back into his sell, eat sleep, and repeat.
This too continued until Issei showed to have developed a tolerance to the attacks thrown at him.
Not to say he was completely immune, magic attacks of stronger varieties could still leave some significant injuries.
Over time however, it became clear that his body was now more durable to the point most normal weapons couldn't hurt him, and he started becoming more tolerable to some magic based attacks.
With his most promising development being a slowly growing immunity to fire and other attacks meant to leave burns.
In addition, the boy also showed signs of other physical characteristics, such as heightened sense, a stronger apatite for meat in his meals, and a bit of a boost in his aggression.
Though the last part might be in part thanks to the mistreatment of his captors.
In fact, the years of captivity have caused the one happy innocent boy to develop a bit of a cold and tough demeanor towards the devils, and would even go so far as to insult them on and off his daily training exorcises.
The single soloist to this, was the young girl he shared his sell with, who would also be dragged away during the day to do her own training before reuniting with Issei at the end of the day to cry in his arms.
During this time together, the two learned everything about each other.
From their names, their likes, dislikes, lives before the sell, and most importantly of all...what they would do if they ever got the chance to get out.
For Issei, the answer was simply to go home, reunite with his parents, and hope to move past this whole ordeal as if it were just a passing nightmare.
His blue eyed friend on the other hand, was unsure what she would do because she didn't have any home to go back to.
A revelation that brought her to tears, and a frown on the brown haired boys face.
That is until he pulled her into a hug and told her how he would take her with him with the promise his parents would accept her after hearing their story.
A promise that changed her tears from sadness to joy.
Thus the two continued to endure the test and beatings, waiting for their chance to escape.
Then came the week when the routine was broken.
Flashback (Hope this isn't getting repetitive)
The devils came in and took Issei's friend away, with him being unable to stop them.
When they brought her back a day later, she was very week.
Sadly the boy wasn't able to stay long and comfort her due to them then dragging him away, kicking and screaming.
Once more he found himself in the lab he came to hate almost as much as the monsters that abused him before they threw him onto a table and strapped him to it.
"How soon can we start?" questioned the familiar voice of Rizevim from outside Issei's line of site.
"My lord, all we need is your command to proceed," voiced the unseen Euclid.
Or as Issei came to learn over the years, the head scientist responsible for organizing all the test Issei went through, and thus became another person the boy learned to hate.
"Consider the order given then," Rizevim answered with a small bit of amusement in his voice.
The 12 year old child felt a strong serge of gravity pulling onto his hand, and looked down at a magic circle under his right hand used to keep it in place.
A small table was then rolled up next to his own with a cloth covering some item.
Once close enough, the one rolling the table towards the boy, and removed the blanket to reveal some sharp stone giving off a blue glow.
The devil then picked it up before raising it like a knife in the air.
Issei only had a second to register what he was planning to do with it when the blue rock came crashing down, stabbing into his right hand.
The squelching sounds of flesh being ripped open was quickly followed by the sounds of the young boy's screams of agony.
Tears flying from his eyes as he wreathed, trashing his head from side-to-side, in pain while struggling to break through his bindings.
It was then that the stone in his bleeding hand began to glow much more intensely, followed by a large burst of light and a powerful blast of pressurized air.
All the devils, with the exception of Rizevim and Euclid, were either somewhat pushed back or completely knocked away by the force of the air.
The circle holding Issei's hand also became undone and the boy drew on enough strength the break his right hand free of the restraints, and hold it up to see glowing blue veins began making their way across his entire arm.
While this was happening, a green spot the size of a golf ball began glowing on the top of his left hand before also sprouting glowing veins of the green variety.
"Lord Lucifer, perhaps we should evacuate from the lab until after the process is done!" one of he devil scientist closest to the silver haired devil asked.
Only for Rizevim smirk confidently and say, "No, I want to see this though to the end. Need to make sure the last five years weren't a waist, wouldn't you agree?"
Everyone then continued looking back at the boy who now had more of the blue and green veins make their way up his neck, and his legs.
Rizevim's right hand scientist pulled up some kind of tablet devise pointed at the boy, with numbers on the screen that continued to count upwards at extremely fast speeds.
Finally the veins have completed their spread over the screaming child's body to the point where they now connected and over lapped, and were now performing a sort of stroke-light pattern of flashing from blue to green reputably.
At the same time, the air in the lab began to become more violent to the point that items and tables were getting thrown around while magical energy in the form of electricity bounced off his body, hitting any unlucky nameless scientist.
It was getting to the point that the now frowning Rizevim had to use magic barriers to shield himself from the blast.
The boy's skin was also beginning to turn red, indicating he was heating up, and giving everyone else a bad feeling.
"Forgive me my lord, but I fear the boy will not survive the procedure. And if we stay longer, we may join him!" Euclid suggested to his master.
The descendent of Lucifer scowled in annoyance, only to sigh and nod.
As he was about to order everyone to get out however, he turned to hear Isse's screeching screams suddenly change.
Now instead, they where becoming shouts of anger to go with the look of determination forming on his young face.
All present in the room looked on in shock as the electricity and winds began to reseat, and the glowing veins on the boy started fading.
At the same time, the green spot on his left hand began to shine brighter, and if one looked close enough, they might notice said spot was becoming a solid round jewel of the same color; with some sort of red shimmering haze flashing in and out of reality over the rest of his hand and forearm.
Everyone found themselves confused on what was going on, how this boy who moments ago looked ready to explode was now seeming to be reverting back to his original state.
Something that the devils failed to realize was that with everything they put Issei though, they were teaching him one very valuable lesion.
To not give up and cave to whatever these monsters, or life in general for that matter, put him through.
Soon the veins were gone, and with one final shout, Issei opened his eyes, which resulted in a white hot light exploding out of them, and temporally blinding everyone present.
Once sight returned to the devils in the lab, they all looking on at the child who had finally passed out as a result of everything that just occurred.
Or more specifically, they looked to his right hand to see a jewel similar to the one that had appeared on his left hand, but with a beautiful shade of sapphire as its color instead of emerald green.
Soon both these exotic looking protrusions vanished, as though they were never their.
"What's the human's status?" questioned Rizevim in a voice that demanded immediate answers.
One of the workers came up to Issei, and with the use of some magic, quickly responded back to his leader.
"Good news lord Lucifer, the child is alive, and its vitals are stabilizing at an exceptional rate."
This info was enough to bring a frightening smile to the silver haired devils face.
"Well then, send it back to the dungeon for the rest of the day. we'll begin the next stages of testing later," Rizevim commanded before a devil quickly moved to follow though with his orders.
Once the boy was removed, and the others started to make their way out, the head scientist chose to address an issue he had with his master.
"Not to question your plans my lord, but are you still sure that this was a wise thing for us to do? Are we sure that the boy wont take all the alterations we've done to it and use them against us?"
This only got an cocky scuff from Rizevim who answered back with no hesitation.
"Did you forget that we'll be altering the boy's mind once we know we accomplished our goals with all these test? Besides, I can always stop it easily enough, and if necessary, kill it if it proves too much of a hassle."
With that, the head scientist simply nodded his understating of his lord's will, and looked to the table where the boy originally laid upon.
Flashback End
Thus everything comes back to the present where Issei was finally awakens after the ordeal, while getting pulled into a hug.
The boy's cellmate was crying into his shoulder while mumbling his name.
With him simply trying to lift his left arm up to wrap it around her in a comforting manner.
Eventually the two found their way to the single bed of the sell, where the girl would hold onto the brunette like a lifeline and also draw soothing circles on his back with her hand.
"We always talk about escaping given the opportunity, and I'd like to still believe that. But I can't help but ask when Issei? When will our chance to get out of here come?" the girl asked while trying to hold back more tears.
Only for the boy to close his eyes with a pained expression on his face as he admitted he couldn't answer her.
Eventually the kids fell asleep, dreading what the next day might bring.
That is until the morning when the boy heard a faint booming sound outside, followed by another, closer, one.
After the third noise he lifted his stiff body up to try focus more on the sound's exact origin, jerking his head in the direction of the fourth one.
"Issei what is it?" the girl tried to ask, only to be quickly answered with a sharp, "Shush."
Then came the fifth boom, now followed by the shaking of the devil's hideout.
The blue eyed child of the duo instantly grabbed onto the brown eyed one in shock.
Two more quakes occurred to the growing fear and curiosity of the kids before the final one came, and blew a hole though one of their cells walls.
Issei was quick to act and shield his cellmate with his own body as the impact of the blast was strong enough to knock them out of bed.
A few seconds later the boy was able to shake off the ringing in his ears and refocus his vision on the girl.
"Hey you okay! Your not hurt are you?" he questioned as he took her face in his hands to try and get her to concentrate on him.
He had to repeat this once more before she shook her head yes.
Slowly they got up and made their way to the open wall to see what was happening outside.
The two preteens were greeted to the sight of a small firefight taking place within the halls.
On one side they recognized the armored devil guards using their shadow construct shields and magic shooting circles.
On the other, they saw individuals garbed in different armor, weapons of light or magic circles of a different design than the kids were familiar with, and large black bird wings jetting from their backs.
They watched on while trying to stay as hidden as they could until the fighting moved further away from their area and they could only hear faint traces of the battle.
The kids then looked towards each other in confusion for a short bit of time trying to understand what was happening, but that quickly left their minds as it finally dawned on them what this situation could mean for them.
Issei was just about to jump out of the hole in the wall until he felt the girl grab his left hand, forcing him to stop and look at her.
What he saw was a look of uncertainty and fear before gripping her hand back with a bit more firmness.
Through eye contact alone he told her he understood that she was scared, that this could go badly, but he also tried to make it clear to her this might be the chance they were waiting for.
And may even possibly be the only chance they would be getting ever again.
Soon the blue eyed child gulped down her nervousness, and nodded her head in agreement.
The brown haired boy responded with a genuine smile for the first time in a long while, dragged the both of them out of the destroyed wall, then started running hand in hand towards wherever the least amount of fighting sounded like it was taking place.
Admittedly, neither of them actually knew where they were going, they just kept running down the halls, taking one random turn after another, something the female of the duo eventually pointed out while still being dragged along by her companion, only for Issei to say they didn't have many other options.
Eventually they needed to stop when Issei noticed his friend was getting tired and needed to stop and catch her breath.
It was then the boy jerked his head in another direction, before then jerking it towards the ceiling and then once again shielded his friend as something came crashing though it, causing dust and debris to cover the area.
Once it cleared the children looked back to see one of the black bird winged warriors covered in battle damage, and two spears made of black energy.
It was then two devil soldiers floated down with the use of their shadow constructed bat wings which vanished upon their landing.
The devil on the left chuckled before saying, "Bet this seems familiar to you doesn't it crow?"
The one on the right added on with, "Yeah, tell us, did it hurt as badly as your fall from grace? Or are you one of those birds who came after the war?" and then chuckled with his friend.
The downed warrior answered them by creating a ball of magical energy in his left hand, and shot it at the devil nearest his hand.
The one he shot at managed to form a shield of darkness to soak up the magic into nothingness.
"Nice try," the devil said in a monotone voice that did not match with his smirk and followed up by making a jagged shadow blade to stab the fallen foe in the head, with his partner following suit by stabbing his own construct into the downed man's heart.
This was followed moments later by the winged warrior turning charcoal black, and then faded into dust.
Afterwards the two devils took notice of the kids.
"Well what do we have here? A couple of lab rats out of their cage?" Said the one on the left.
"Lord Lucifer will not be pleased about this. He'll have words once the fight is over, but we'll just have to deal with you both till then. So why don't you two come along back to your home?" the second one said with a gentle voice that did not match at all with the evil smile on his face.
Issei was quick to put himself in front of the girl with his arms spread out in a fashion that told the two larger individuals to stay away.
Only for them to laugh and the one on the right made a shadow whip to grab the boy and slam him into a wall.
He then moved over to pin the brunette to wall by his neck, chuckling at the child's struggle to pull his hand off.
That is until he shouted in pain and then turned to see the girl with her hands aimed at him, with the dissipating particles of a blue magic circle.
Everyone was frozen for a second until she was knocked down by some sort of speeding black object.
When the girl landed it was made clear that the thing that hit her was a shadow spear lodged within the right side of her stomach.
To which he asked his companion holding Issei, "Shit, you think I hit anything vital?"
The other one grunted in agitation before responding.
"Who cares, from what I heard the master got what he needed from her."
"I guess. But just in case, let's be sure to say she got caught in the blast of an explosion. Plenty going around to make it believable no?"
While they continued talking, the devils paid no attention to the boy looking towards his downed friend with wide eyes full of shock.
Their voices sounding as though they were getting further and further away the longer he focused on her.
He could not see if she was breathing anymore, and blood was beginning to pool around her from her injury.
The sounds of his own heart beat were growing faster and louder by the second as his vision began turning red.
The brunette finally snapped and let out an ear splitting scream.
Or rather, a scream that quickly evolved into a monstrous roar as the green spot on his left hand manifested, followed by a red light exploded from his body and knocked the devils away from him.
The two quickly recovered and looked to see Issei standing before them, with his appearance having gone through some slight changes.
An aura in the form of red flames danced across his body, and his once brown eyes with white sclera were now completely emerald green with barely visible slits for pupils.
Though the biggest change, came to his left arm.
The green glowing spot from before was now a smooth jewel of the same color, and the arm itself was no longer that of a fleshy human one.
Now, it was as red as the flames that covered him, with the forearm being covered in sharp looking scales with the hand appearing to now look armored.
Golden claws covering the end sections of the fingers, and a single golden spike jetting out of the elbow area.
"D-did that human just-" the devil who grabbed the boy earlier tried to say before a new, booming, voice shouted out a single word.
"Boost!"
With that, the preteen let out another roar before leaping forward with a speed and distance that should not be possible for someone like him.
The two devils were quick enough to get out of the way though, resulting in the child sinking his new clawed appendage into the wall in front of him.
Causing a hole about the same size as himself to form within it.
One of the Underworld warriors tried to subdue the boy by creating a magic circle underneath him to serve as a gravity field to force him to his knees.
"I got the runt, knock it out, and let's get it back in its cell!" the devil instructed his companion who begrudgingly began making his way to the target.
In hind sight, he should've probably tried using a spell of some kind to do the job.
Something he would regret when the jewel on the boy's left hand increased and the voice from before returned with another, "Boost!"
And with it, the fire that covered Issei grew twice his size, forcing the approaching devil to try and leap backwards to try and avoid the pure red flames.
Unfortunately for him though, some of the fire caught onto one of his feet, and began growing, which only added to his panic when he also began feeling the burning sensation eat at said limb.
"Just use some water or ice magic to put it out you idiot," his comrade tried to explain as he also kept focus on his hold of the boy.
Advice the other one tried to follow, only to quickly find they had no effect, and actually began to also burn like his leg.
He even tried using a whip of darkness to try and absorb it into nothingness, only to also fail.
So, he did the only thing he could think of to keep the fire from getting anymore of him.
He made a darkness blade, and cut the limb off; leaving only half his upper thigh to remain.
Ignoring the pain long enough, the devil used a spell to seal off the injurie, and then used his manipulation of darkness to make a new leg.
While this was taking place, neither one of the two warriors noticed the circle under the brunette was also burning away until it was too late, and Issei got back on his feet while growling at his assailants.
"H-How did it-" the devil who trapped Issei tried asked as he began backing away while his friend slowly got up to do likewise.
This proved futile as the boy leaped at them again, and landed on top of the one who's leg he destroyed.
Said child then began wailing on his would be capturer, ignoring his screams of pain which came as a result of now being in closer proximity to the flames produced by his smaller body.
That is until the boy delivered the killing blow by stabbing the man through his chest with his gold coated claws; painting them in wet crimson blood.
Issei then snapped his head in the direction of the other devil, ignoring the body of his first kill as the red fire consumed his remains.
The remaining warrior simply looked on in shock of what transpired, and then proceeded to retaliate by shooting a bolt of magical energy at the child.
Only for the boy to stretch his left hand forward, and let the attack hit it, and blow up.
The result was shocking to the devil who watch the smoke clear to reveal that all the bolt did was force the kid to skid back a couple of feet, but still look relatively unharmed.
The two locked eyes for a second, before another, "Boost!" sounded out and the boy leaped past his attacker, and used his claws to slash his throat.
Much like with the first one, the boy's flames latched onto the devil upon contact, and began covering his head.
Unlike his friend however, this warrior could not scream in pain and terroir due to his throat being opened, causing the man to begin choking on his own blood while the flesh began pealing away from his skull, and he collapsed onto the ground.
Once both devils were dead, it seemed that Issei was finally able to calm down, as possibly indicated by his eyes returning to their previous brown human ones, and the fire around him began dying down.
With his mind free from the blindness brought on by his rage, he was now able to see the burning body of the ones who intended to take him and his friend back to their prison.
This led to him remembering enough to get a rough guess of what happened, and what he did.
His eyes widened in horror upon realizing his part in their death, and was confirmed when he slowly looked down at his shaking inhuman left hand, still coated in blood.
This all proved too much for his young mind to handle, thus he collapsed onto his hands and knees, and then proceeded to vomit out what little contents he had within his stomach.
Once done, he was left breathing heavily and shivering until his left arm began glowing, and reverted back to its' normal state.
Then as if a switch was flipped as a result of the revert, Issei fell onto his side, avoiding landing on the vomit luckily enough, and passed out.
Completely oblivious to the sound of flapping wings, and feet touching the ground.
Time Skip
The brown haired preteen found himself waking up, albeit still on the groggy side, with blurry vision.
After a few minutes, he was able to see clear enough to tell he was no longer in the castle of the old Satan Faction.
But rather, a bed, in a room.
A modern day hospital room to be exact.
Meaning that somehow, through some unknown means, Issei might have found his way back to Earth.
And if the writing on the signs he saw was any indication, he was in Japan; his home country.
The preteen was bombarded by multiple emotion do to this fact.
Shock at the revelation, doubt that this was real, hope that he was wrong to doubt, excitement on what this entailed if it was real, and sadness when he realized he was the only one who made it here without the girl who he planned this goal out with.
"Well look who's finally woken up. How you feeling kid?" asked the voice of a man who the brown haired kid quickly standing entrance of his room with a friendly smile.
Said man appeared to be somewhere around his late 20s too early 30s, average build with black and blond hair styled in a way that looked matted down but spiky at the tips, violet eyes, a goatee, and decked out in a typical doctor's uniform.
"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you, I'm the doctor that examined you when you were dropped off," explained the adult as he then made his way to the bed, grabbed the chair next to in, and then sat down next to the child.
He went on to explain to the brunette about how he was found the day before, passed out in an alleyway, and then brought to the hospital where they ran some test to confirm that besides signs of dehydration, malnourished build of his body, and multiple scars across said body, he was relatively healthy.
The doctor's friendly demeaner changed to one of concern when he asked, "Could you tell me how you ended up like this?"
Issei stiffened at the question, trying to figure out what he should say.
After all, it's not like he could tell this doctor that he had spent the last 5 years in Hell, being made a test subject to Lucifer himself.
He'd either get laughed at, yelled at and accused of lying, or sent to the nut house.
"I-I'm sorry sir, I can't remember," the boy tried to lie while internally beating himself up for not come up with a better excuse.
"Hmm, laps in memory. Don't worry kid, with what you've been through it's not impossible to believe that whatever you experienced was so bad your mind chose to repress those memories. They may come back in time, or not at all. Personally I wouldn't feel too bad if they never did," the doctor responded with his friendly smile returning before continuing with the question.
"Do you remember anything? Your name perhaps?"
"Issei. My name is Issei Hyoudou."
The dual haired man then nodded, and picked back up the conversation with questions like, "You know where you're from?" or, "Who your family is?"
To which Issei answered the questions until the doctor was satisficed.
"Good to know you at least remember some parts of your past. Though I suppose only time will reveal if you'll be able to remember more. For now though, I think it's safe for you to go home," he said knowingly to the child.
Before the preteen could get him to explain further, the two were interrupted by a nurse who just entered the door frame and cleared her throat.
"Excuse me doctor? The people you called have arrived," she said while giving a polite bow to the black and blond haired man.
"Thank you miss. Please send them in."
With another bow, the nurse turned to her right, and gave a hand jester that told whoever she was looking at that they could come in.
A few seconds later two brown haired adults made their way to the entrance.
Everyone was silent as the new arrivals looked upon the boy with expressions of shock and hope, with said preteen looking on just as suppressed while also trembling.
The woman was the first to break this silence when she said one thing.
"Is-Issei?"
To which the brown haired kid responded in a shocked manner.
"Mom?"
After hearing the child question back, the woman's eyes began to water as she shouted, "Oh Issei!" and ran into the room, and pulled the boy into a hug.
The man was quick to follow her example and join the hug.
"I-is this real?" was the preteen's only response.
Finding himself too afraid to truly believe what was happening.
"It is son. Huh, my son. My son is back!" the man said while going into hysterics over finally holding his son again.
With his fears put to rest, Issei finally let his guard down, and allowed himself to cry tears of relief.
The doctor during all this had moved out of the way the moment the parents showed up at the door, and was now looking at the family with a genuine smile on his face, before signaling to the nurse that they should leave and give the trio some time to catch up.
Something the tearful nurse agreed to before followed the man out the room.
Eventually the family were allowed to go home, where the parents talked about how they couldn't find him, even with help from the authorities, people they knew, and even online post.
Issei was quick to tell his parents not to feel bad for what happened to him.
When all was said and done, the parents took their now sleeping son into his room.
Only for the boy to reveal he was faking once they closed the door to his room.
He then raised himself up into a sitting position, and began inspecting his left arm.
Closing his eyes for a second, he tried remembering how it looked when changed, and then opened them again to see a sort of transparent version of the red arm from before appear for a sec.
Because while Issei was home, and the devils weren't coming for him as far as he could see, he knew there was a chance they'd come to drag him back to that hell.
Something he swore he could never let happen again.
According to the 12 year old's thought process, the only way to do that was to learn how to use his new power, and then make Rizevim and his followers pay for what he put the boy and his friend through.
Unknown to the boy at that moment, his eyes were reacting to his feeling by changing from brow to green, with the pupils shifting to slit-like.
6 years later
In Japan there exist a city known as Kouh Town.
At first glance one might think it a simple place with homes, schools, parks, the works.
What most residence don't know about however, is that it is a secret cesspool for supernatural activity.
Creatures of myth and legend living in hiding among the humans by trying to maintain a low profile.
Well...most anyway.
Within a secluded alleyway devoid of any nearby pedestrians, two individuals can be seen.
A woman, who had found herself pulled into the alley by an unknown figure, now found herself on the ground kicking and screaming.
And a man, who was currently standing on top said woman using one hand to hold her down, and the other to grab at her cloths.
"Quit your fidgeting already scank! The more you struggle, the less fun this will be for the both of us. And trust me, it can be real fun when doing something like this with a guy like me," the man told his victim with a veliger face that only made the woman under him struggle more.
Seconds later, he managed to finally rip the front of the poor woman's shirt, and began laughing in triumph groping her chest.
That is until the two were caught off guard by a loud whistle.
The source, a figure near the entrance of the alley who began walking towards them after getting their attention.
"You know, I've been told I can be pretty dense. But even I can tell the lady bellow you isn't interested in what you're trying to offer. Can't say I blame her either seen as those who brag about their sex game are usually the ones trying to hype themselves up if you know what I mean," the figure said with the voice of a male, and his right hand raised to and squeezing his index and thumb together.
Once close enough, the other two could see he was garbed in all black with boots, pants, fingerless gloves, and a hooded jacket that had said hood drawn up.
The exceptions to this being the red shirt that one could see from the unzipped jacket, and the face mask of the same color.
Something else to point out was the man's height of approximately 5'9, and golden brown eyes.
Though the would be rapist wasn't really thinking about the look of the stranger, only what he said regarding his "equipment".
Something that set the man off and made him stand up to face the stranger.
Effectively taking his mind off the girl who was quick to take advantage of the distraction, and flee from her assaulter.
Shouting a quick thank you to the individual who saved her as she ran past him.
This all served to anger the the first man as he realized his fun got away.
"What the hell asshole! Didn't your mom ever tell you it's rude to butt in on someone else's business!"
To which the hooded one shrugged and answered with, "Yeah, but she also taught me to not ignore trouble if I can help.
The angry man's expression quickly changed to an arrogant smirk as he retorted.
"Well then, looks like she should've taught you to be smarter."
The man's back then exploded into two large black crow like wings while his pupils shifted to slits.
with a single flap of the appendages, he was raised into the air and made a spear of blue light form in his right hand.
All while smiling down at the hooded figure.
Much to the now revealed fallen angel's confusion, and further annoyance, the individual on the ground didn't even twitch at his attempt to intimidate.
So he simply chose to end things now by swooping down towards the male, and attempt to impale him in the chest with his light spear.
Attempt being the key word.
Because before the end of the construct could make it's mark, the hooded man raised his left hand, which began to glow with a red light.
The second the glow was gone, the fallen found his would be prey holding the spear head with his hand.
His red, monstrous hand, which sported a green glowing jewel that shouted a word that would make the former soldier of God realize the mistake he made.
"Boost!"
Song: Fire, by Farewell to Fear
The hooded one opened his now green reptilian eyes before balling his right fist, and slamming it into his attacker's left cheek.
Sending him flying into the nearest wall.
"You were saying?" taunted the man with the red arm as he flexed the golden claws and another, "Boost!" was released.
The black winged one scowled at the one who hit him and charged at him again, now sporting two light short swords in each hand.
Every attempt to cut his target with the constructs was met with the hooded man either dodging or using the armored hand as a shield until he parried one of the slashes with enough force to push the fallen angel back and lose his balance for short moment.
The man with the face mask was more than happy to take advantage by moving in and unleashing a barrage of punches too fast for normal human eyes to see.
Just right after another shout from the green jewel was let loose.
Followed by a kick that sent the black winged angel sliding across the ground, and into a trash can that tipped over onto him.
This proved to anger the would be assaulter who got up quickly and shot himself into the air with the help of his wings.
Once there he made a magic circle which began launching magic bolts at the figure on the ground.
Only for the hooded one to quickly evade the attacks after his gauntlet shouted again, and ran to the nearest wall where he used parkour skills to help propel himself into the air to try and stab his claws into the enemy.
Something the fallen was waiting for as he quickly flew out of the way, and then made another sword to try and deliver a downward slash onto the hooded man's neck area.
At least that's what he tried to do before the would be victim raised his right arm, which was soon enveloped by a white light.
The corrupted bird's eyes widened upon seeing the light die down to reveal that the man's right arm was now covered in an exact copy of his left one, with the red replaced with white, and a blue round gem in place of a green.
And even more shocked was the blade bounced off the gauntlet like limb.
The hooded man scuffed at the failed sneak attack before grabbing the arm attached to the tainted angel's blade, and used his own strength to throw the his attacker to the ground with enough force to crack it.
Resulting in him being left dazed by the impact, and the pain caused by one of his wings being broken upon said impact.
The dark angel failed to see the hooded man coming until he heard, "Boost!" again, and said man landed on top of him
This caused the wind to be knocked out of him as his would be prey got off of him, and then kicked him into a nearby wall.
The hooded fighter then waited for his opponent to get back up; folding his arms and looking board while he did so.
And the gauntlet shouted one more.
The now enraged fallen tried getting back up as quickly as he could and waved his good wing at the other fighter, unleashing a flurry of black feathers at him.
To which the hooded man was able to easily deflect with his arms.
This proved to be a quick distraction as the black winged warrior had now summoned a spear of light the size of a small car with a gleeful look on his face.
"Let's see how easily you deflect this you bastard!" he shouted, now so desperate to win that he didn't stop to think that his prey could easily move out of the way
Only for the hooded man to scuff and hold out his right hand as a voice from the blue gem shouting, "Divide!"
The fallen soon felt like the wind had been knocked out of him as his larger light spear was cut down to half its original size just before he managed to throw it.
As the now weaker weapon made its way towards the gauntlet clad figure, he caught it with his left hand and then smashed it to bits by punching it with the right.
"W-What the hell are you!" the tainted angel demanded, following up with, "You can't be just some punk with a Twice Critical could you!"
"Let's just say I'm more heat than you can handle," the hooded man declared as he reach his left hand up to remove his mask.
Upon doing so, the hooded man was revealed to be an older Issei who smirked confidently at his opponent before closing his eyes, and taking in a large breath of air.
Expecting another attack, the fallen tried making a move, only to hear, Divide!" boom throughout the alley, and cause him to fall to his knees.
Followed last time by, Boost!" and Issei's chest began glowing with a red light which was making it's way up his throat, and into his mouth.
Issei's eyes snapped open as he leaned forward and opened his mouth; unleashing a wave of red flames at his enemy.
The fallen was left in shock and could only scream as the flames were quick to envelope him.
Within seconds, he was reduced to ashes.
The hooded young man let out another breath, with some smoke attached to it, before pulling his mast up, and making his way out of the alleyway as the flames he made began to slowly die down.
End of Song
And that concludes the first chapter of my new story, Unyielding Dragon Emperor, I'm sorry again for the long wait, but I hope you'll find it was worth it! Please feel free to give your feedback cuz it helps, and seen as this is a harem fic I'm going to leave a list showing you awesome readers who's going to be falling head over heels for our dragon wielding protagonist.
Those in the harem:
The cannon harem members from the original story
Raynare (giving her a slight personality and background change)
Fem Gasper (sorry but Gasper being a dude in drag has always been a little too much for me given his personality)
Ophis (not sure if she's in the cannon harem or not so just going to add her, with some changes)
and one or two others I plan to leave as a surprise.
Girls I'm thinking about adding:
Kalawarner (actually have an interesting ideal for her and Issei's relationship and will also alter her background a bit if you all are cool with her being in it)
Mittelt (mostly cuz I figure it would make sense to throw her in with Ray and Kala, but I guess I can be persuaded to change my mind if given a good reason by you guys)
Fem Kiba (figured why not seen as pretty much everyone else In the Gremory group is made up of girls)
Tsubaki Shinra (assuming Kiba doesn't end up gender switched)
Grayfia (would have to kill off Sirzechs cuz I like the guy too much to have him cheated on, and the whole "their marriage is fake" thing feels over used to me. No offense to those who've used that trope, I just feel like changing it up)
Or I could make a daughter of Grayfia and Sirzechs to fill her role (the two of them have been around long enough for it to be possible for them to have more than one kid together I think)
And finally, Venelana (similar situation as the Grayfia idea)
And that's it for now
As always dear reaaders, like/favorite, follow, leave some comments, and look forward to the next chapter.
Dragonfan6 out!
