AN: HEY HEY EVERYONE! HOW ARE Y'ALL DOING TODAY? TODAY I WANTED TO TRY SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT. WE ALL KNOW HOW ISSEI HONESTLY SHOULD HAVE DIED IN A LOT OF PLACES DURING HIS ADVENTURES. HELL HE DID DIE IN A FEW OF THEM, BUT That's BESIDES THE POINT. WELL, I WANNA DO A STORY WHERE HE IS SENT BACK IN TIME EVERY TIME HE DIES. LETS SEE HOW THAT GOES SHALL WE?


Chapter 1. Here we go again.

"Gasp!!! Unk, Mph! Blergh! Spittle blegh."

"Partner! Are you alright?! What happened?!"

"I don't, huuulleeea know!"

Here, laying over the side of his bed, vomiting on the floor of his room is Issei Hyoudou, also known as the Red Dragon Emperor, but why is he like this? Well for that we have to go back awhile... Or rather forward.


Scene break.

The rating game between Gremory and Phenex.

"You just don't know when to quit do you my dear Rias?" Asked a blonde man flying in the air with his chest exposed for the world to see. his wings ablaze in a glorious flame as he looks down to a battered and exhausted Rias.

This man is Riser Phenex, and right now he's having a field day toying with his soon to be wife Rias Gremory. The girl in question grits her teeth in rage as she fires off another ball of destruction while her bishop Asia Argento healed her with her sacred gear.

"Shut your mouth Riser! I told you once and will always tell you that I will never marry you! You are a sick and vile man and unworthy of my hand!" Rias shouts out in a fit of rage as fires off ball after ball of destruction to which all connect with Riser's flesh, destroying parts of his body but always allowing him to regenerate back to full health.

"Rias please be careful! your firing off so much power that it's damaging your body!" Asia cries out in worry as she kicks her healing into high gear, putting her master's wounds back to normal before she is suddenly grabbed by rias and they fly out of the way of a fire ball.

"Grr then I will just burn your servants to ashes until you agree!" Riser shouts out before flinging another fireball out at the duo before he gets clocked in the face by a armour clad fist. causing him to fly back a few feet before he catches himself and staring off at who dared harm him.

"Grrah! Who dares strike the Great Riser?! YOU!!" He shouts out as he makes eye contact with Issei Hyoudou. a boy who is tired battered and out of breath as he made his way to this battle.

"You're screwed now, huff Riser! you can't handle the Power Of Destruction AND The Red Dragon Emperor!" Issei yells as he catches his breath as he holds his boosted gear over his face, the gem glows a brilliant green.

BOOST!

"Tch." Riser scoffs as he grinds his teeth together. getting angry over this whole thing. "Of course you'd be here boy! Don't you know your own place and to stay out of the affairs of your masters?" Riser says with annoyance in his voice as he casually throws a fireball at Issei, who narrowly dodges it.

"I don't care if I get in trouble! No one makes my master cry! Raaaah!" Issei charges at Riser as he's not exactly paying full attention to Issei before another shout can be heard.

BOOST!

"!"

Riser at the last second grabs hold of Issei's gauntleted hand and CLOCKS him in the face with a fire embued fist, making Issei skid back a few dozen feet as he struggles to get back up. "D- damn you!"

"Heh, so this is the best the current Red Dragon can do? I must say Rias darling that I am severely disappointed. You didn't even properly train him, he's barely able to survive one of my strikes! Look at him! He can barely stand!" Riser mocks in amusement as he gestures to Issei who was slowly getting up.

"Don't. Count. Me. Out. YEEEEEEEEET!"

BOOST! EXPLOSION!

"WHAT?!"

"I am the Red Dragon Emperor! No matter how long it takes or how many times I gotta BOOST myself. I WILL be at you and take back all that you've stolen!"

Issei charges again at Riser with new found speed and strength while charging a Dragon Shot into his hand. Riser for his own part tries to throw fire balls at the Red Dragon but he either narrowly misses or just tanks the hit as he gets up close in the phenex's face.

"I WILL WIN FOR MY MASTER RIAS! HERE GOES! DRAGON SHOT!"

"GRAAAAH!"

Issei fires off his full powered dragon shot as it makes full contact with Riser, causing a massive explosion that sends Issei, Riser, and Rias flying out and off the school roof. Issei landed in the pool area while Riser crashed into the trees. At first it seems as if issei did it. Before Riser comes flying out of the tree line with part of his arm gone, a leg missing, and part of his face covered in flames while there is a hole in his gut where the shot made contact.

Riser floats there a moment, realizing the truth of Issei's words as his woulds slowly heal. Issei just got strong enough to genuinely wound him. A measley Human with a toy made by God just became strong enough to harm the might Phoenix. This causes Riser to grind his teeth in pure rage as he looks down at the wounded Issei.

"Riser doesn't know what attack that was but would be lying if he said it wasn't a potent one! Tch! YOU PATHETIC INSECT!" Riser shouts out in rage as he flies at Issei with tremendous speed before Issei can pull himself completely out of the water.

BURST! RESET!

Aaaaand collapses onto his face, he lay there barely able to move as his lower half remains in the water, Riser charges up his most powerful attack and launches it at the exhausted Dragon Emperor.

"You DARE harm the might phenex!? I will burn you and all that you love to ashes! Your fellow servants, your parents, your human friends! EVERYTHING YOU HOLD DEAR WILL BURN BEFORE THE MIGHTY PHENEX!

"I-Im sorry Rias, sniff. I really tried."

"Even if it was for but a short time. it was nice knowing you partner." Ddraig says before everything becomes hot for Issei... Then suddenly nothing at all as the fireball engulfs the boy in its brilliant light and heat.

Issei Hyoudou. Had died.


Scene break: present day/3 months ago

"Yeah I was sure I was killed by that dick weed! So how did I get back here? I didn't feel the light of retirement at all when we were burned alive back there." Issei says as he wipes his mouth off from the vomiting session he just had. The boy stands up after gaining his bearings and scratching his head confused.

"Hey partner, you may want to look in the mirror. I sense a change has occurred. Ugh by the stars my head hurts. Ddraig says groggily as he nurses a migraine inside the boosted gear. Issei, heeding his dragon companions words goes to the bathroom and turns on the light before looking at the mirror.

"Whoa!"

"Oh?"

"Ddraig, I'm ripped!" And it was true, Issei had gained some semblance of muscle mass since he had died, not enough to be called "ripped" but it's definitely a noticeable difference.

"I would not say ripped but you certainly have gained some muscles. it's honestly surprising, but that's not all, I feel a change with your very soul, you're no longer a devil!" Says Ddraig in curiosity and minor confusion.

Issei's face pales as he begins to shout. "WHAT?! DDRAIG ARE YOU SURE?!" The boy cries out in a bit of a panic as he thinks. 'Oh man what would Prez think if she finds out about this?! What would Asia or Akeno or even Koneko think!? I guess Kiba would probably be indifferent about it but aw man!'

The noise caused by Issei causes his mother to go up stairs and knock on the bathroom door. "Issei sweetie is everything alright? Who are you talking to in there?" She asks in mild concern.

"N-No one! Just a friend from school over the phone! Sorry for worrying you mom!" Issei responds before covering his mouth, causing Ddraig to speak in his thoughts.

'This is indeed confusing partner but I need you to keep a level head here and not panic. there is no telling as to what is going on here. But for now I want to confirm something. Summon the boosted gear boy.' Ddraig says calmly and slowly as to make sure Issei doesn't freak out anymore than he already has.

Issei, doing what he's told summons the boosted gear in its Second Liberation form which shocks Ddraig. 'Interesting! It seems that whatever had happened progressed you along even further into the final stage of the boosted gear! From what I can tell, it's as if you sacrificed a part of your body to make yourself stronger!' He says in wonder and joy as it seems Issei got stronger from this weird occurrence.

'Really? How much stronger does that make me then? You once talked about something called Balance Breaker before, am I close to that?' Issei asks in his mind as he finishes brushing his teeth and dismissing the boosted gear.

'Indeed. while you won't be unlocking Balance Breaker anytime soon due to you being human, it's still a large improvement from what you had before. To put into comparison. You would be able to put up a better fight against that yellow tailed twat then you did in the past. I'd say your base power is thrice what it was during that fight. Which is an impressive growth to achieve by well whatever this is. I'd say you could beat the lot of the fallen angels that took that nun friend of yours by yourself.' Ddraig says while trying to figure out what's going on here. he then comes up with an idea.

'Partner, go back to your room and check the date on that phone thing of yours, I think I have an idea of what's going on.'

'Huh? Uh ok, I don't see why not Ddraig, although I don't see why you want me to do that, it's probably just a few days after the match, Rias probably released me from her service so Riser wont have the satisfaction of having the Red Dragon in his service.' Issei thinks in his head as he finishes cleaning his face and walking back to his room, finding his phone on his bed and checking the date.

xX/xx/2003

"N-No way! How is this possible?!" Issei nearly shouts before covering his mouth.

'Were three months in the past?!' Ddraig says in alarm as he finally pieces things together. 'Partner we traveled back in time!'

"Wait what do you mean Ddraig? Time travel isn't real!" Issei says with a tilt of his head as he almost brushes off his resident Dragon, but he pauses as he notices something out of the corner of his eye, something he hasn't seen in months. The corner of a porno magazine that his mother had found a few days after Rias had made him into a devil. This confuses Issei greatly as he had not seen it since his mother burned his stash a few months... back.

"Crap"

'Now do you see what I mean partner? There is simply no other explanation as to what is going on.' Ddraig says as he puffs out his chest a bit, happy to see his partner catching on. 'The question is how and or why did this happen...' He says as he begins to ponder to himself.

"Maybe Rias knows what's going on? She did say that she could barely reincarnate me into a devil, maybe it was this weird occurrence ontop of you that caused it?" Issei asks as he sits on the edge of his bed.

'Unlikely, I wouldn't bring this to her either as it may make you sound a bit crazy, well more so than what you already do. You're not the most sane of my hosts after all partner. Ddraig comments honestly.

"Hey I take offense to that!" Issei groans and complains as to what Ddraig said before sighing. "Well I gotta get ready for school anyway. My phone said it's Friday so I have to deal with another day of this, but hey at least I'm not the weakest Red Dragon anymore!" He says as he suddenly stands up with a smile on his face.

Squish

"Eh?"

"Hm, certainly not the smartest."

Issei looks down after feeling something wet, warm and chunky between his toes, his eyes widening as he realizes he stepped in the pool of his own vomit.

"EEEWWW"


Scene break: Kuoh Academy.

Issei arrived a few minutes late to the school, which isn't surprising due to him having to clean his floor. As he was making his way into the school however, he could feel eyes on him as if he was being watched. The boy looked up and saw Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri looking down at him. He gives a warm, heart felt smile at the beautiful woman before him before giving a wave and walking off, adhering to Ddraig's warning. However when he is out of earshot.

"Did you see that Rias? It's as if he knew we were here." Sona said to her best friend with a side glance. Rias on her end sighs and nods.

"That is true, and did you feel that? It seems his sacred gear has awakened, and from the feel of it it's a powerful one too. However I don't know what it is. perhaps I should call him in today or tomorrow to see what he knows, and to recruit him of course." Rias says with a meager smile on her face, but her eyes have an opportunistic light to them.

"Well whatever it is it feels Draconic in nature. Perhaps that should make sense considering Saji has a Dragon type gear as well." Sona says as she begins to walk away. "However I never expected that boy to have a gear at all, much less a Dragon type. He better not cause too much trouble with it. I leave him to you Rias." She says as she walks away towards her class.

Rias on the other hand stands there for a few moments contemplating her options, before ultimately deciding to wait to see just what kind of gear he has. The fallen angels seem to have been tailing him for awhile now, they're sure to make a move now that he's awakened his Sacred Gear.

While the two devil princesses were doing their own thing. Issei sits in class talking with his friends while also having a conversation with Ddraig.

'Why must you insist on conversing with these two perverted idiots?' Ddraig asks in mild annoyance of the situation.

'I don't know why do you have to fight that "White One" you keep talking about?' Issei quips back at the Dragon who was beginning to frustrate him with the questions.

"So anyway Issei wanna go peeping with us? we found a great new spot where we can do it and 'hopefully' not get caught." his bespectacled friend Motohama asked the distracted Dragon Emperor who haha ik down at his left hand.

"Ayo bro! You in there man? Your spacing out." His monkey faced friend Motsuda asks while waving a hand in front of Issei's face. This grabs Issei's attention.

"Hm? Oh sorry guys, was a bit distracted. What's up?" Issei asks to which Motohama repeats his question to him. Issei thinks a moment, remembering this day and not really wanting to get hit with bokkon again he shakes his head after figuring out what today is. "Yeah I'd rather not guys, I don't feel like getting beat up today, my body still feels a bit sore from the last time, ya know?"

This saddens the two perverts as their leader doesn't seem to wanna participate this way around. "Aw that's a shame man, it won't be the same without ya bro." Matsuda says as he rubs his head. the other students however, while disgusted are rather surprised that Issei doesn't wanna peep today. They seem rather relieved in fact.

"Yeah man! You sure you don't want to join in? We're gonna be able to see full on boob and ass! What's gotten into you?!" Motohama asks and declares, which honestly tempts Issei for a few moments before sighing in defeat.

"Nah man I can't. I got stuff to do anyway, it wasn't just the bearings today, I gotta pick up groceries for Mom since she's sick today." Issei replies with a shake of his head. 'Besides, if today is what I think it is, I don't want you guys getting involved in the supernatural, for your own safety.' He thinks to himself.

Suddenly the bell rings, and everyone gets into their seats, not wanting to be yelled at by their teacher. Issei stares out the window, not really looking forward to what comes next.

'Why are you so worried partner? It's not like you haven't faced this before. Surely the second go around should be easier on you.' Ddraig tries to ask and somewhat comfort the boy, which just causes the young Red Dragon to sigh and shake his head.

'It's not just that Ddraig, it's the fact that I have to live through the pain of knowing that I'll have to be betrayed again. It hurts knowing that your first ever girlfriend just wants to kill you cause you're strong.' Issei replies to his partner, making a bit of sense.

'Hm well you won't be alone this go around, this time you have me by your side. I won't let you die partner.' Ddraig says with a bit of optimism in his voice, trying to cheer his host up.

"Heh, thanks bud."

"Mr.Hyoudou, if you could please stop daydreaming during class, I would greatly appreciate it." The teacher frowns as he throws an eraser at Issei's head, it bouncing off the boy's forehead.

"Ow. R-Right, sorry teach!" Issei says as he lifts up a hand to signal he got the message.


Scene Break: ORC Clubroom

Inside the Old School Building, a pair of girls are discussing what they should do regarding a certain brunette we all know and love. Akeno, the taller of the two girls in the room places a cup of tea down in front of the crimson haired Gremory.

"So president, have you decided on what to do with our little junior? He seems rather powerful from what I sensed from him." Akeno asks as she stands next to her master waiting for a response. Rias takes the moment to drink some of the tea she has been offered before she looks over to her queen.

"I've decided to have Koneko tail him to make sure the Fallen don't do anything to the boy. Whatever his Sacred Gear may be it's certainly a powerful one. The Fallen will more than likely make a move on him to either recruit or eliminate him, I'd rather they not do anything to him as he seems like just an honest person, which is something I like..." She pauses for a moment before looking down. "Although something does bother me."

"Oh? It certainly must be something interesting if it's enough to grab your attention like this Rias. Care to share?" Akeno says in a teasing tone as she gives a playful smile before leaning forward a bit and tilting her head. Her large ample breasts swaying as she does so.

"When Sona and I were watching him as he arrived in school he looked up at us, as if he knew we were there." She pauses as she looks down at her cup and continues. "He even gave me a heart warning smile and waved at me as if he knew me personally. I have to say that I've never personally met him before, yet he seems to find me familiar. I don't know, I may just be overthinking it and reading too much between the lines."

"Ufufufu that's certainly interesting, although I don't think it's something as serious as what you make it out to be, perhaps he was just infatuated with your looks like every other boy at this school. I mean it wouldn't surprise me considering you have a good body." Akeno says with a teasing tone as she licks her lips in a playful manner, causing Rias to blush and try to avert the conversation to something else.

"Ugh your teasing is insufferable Akeno. You're just trying to get a ride out of me." Rias says in a huff before turning her head away.

Akeno laughs and places her hand on her cheek. "And it seems to be working. Ufufufu."

Knock knock.

"Come on"

The door to the ORC opens and in steps Koneko in her student uniform, her silver hair glistening in the small glow of the room. "You called me president?"

"Yes I did Koneko." Rias says with a nod as she straightens her posture. "You're the best tracker out of all of us so I'd like for you to tail a boy named Issei Hyoudou for the next few days. The fallen will be keeping their eyes on him and he seems somewhat aware of supernatural aura so you will have to be careful as to not be spotted."

Koneko makes a disgusted face before replying to her master's request. "So you want me to tail the king of perverts? Do I really have to?" She complains before rias sighs and nods her head.

"Yes Koneko I'd like for you to keep an eye on him. I know he's a bit perverted but if things go well we may have a new Sacred Gear user as an ally." Rias says with a smile as Koneko gives a defeated sigh before nodding.

"Very well President. I'll get it done." She says before turning around and exiting the room, causing Akeno to giggle a bit.

"Ufufufu, seems like Koneko doesn't find our prospected new member very likable. I've seen the boy myself and he doesn't seem to be that bad in my personal opinion." Akeno says with a tilt of her head and placing her hand on her cheek.

"True, he seems like a nice boy, it would be almost like looking at a little brother honestly. hopefully we can recruit him."


Scene break: Kuoh Academy Entrance.

"So I really have to go through this again? I really don't wanna do this."

"Either this or you can just run away like a coward again."

"Hey I take offense to that. I'm not that weak guy from before. Running away isn't an option for me this time... I just don't know if I can do what I have to do when the time comes." Issei sighs as he walks forward, talking aloud as he walks past some of the girls from his school, making his way to the bridge that leads to his way home suddenly he notices that there is nobody around him.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Partner! It seems a barrier has been formed. It's time."

"R-Right."

Suddenly footsteps can be heard walking down the street towards the Red Dragon. Before a girl's voice can be heard.

"E-excuse me, your Issei Hyoudou right?"

Issei's blood runs cold as he slowly turns around and sees the woman who has been haunting his mind for months now. He stammers a bit before answering.

"I-I'm dissei byuoudou... I mean Issei Hyoudou yes." He says as he shakes his head before fixing his posture.

The girl giggles and holds back a laugh before continuing. "Well my name is Yuuma Amano. I've been seeing you around here lately and heard about you so..."

She bows her head suddenly before shouting.

"Will you please be my boyfriend?"

Some time passes in silence, neither one saying a thing before finally Issei answered.

"N-No."

...

...

"Eh?"

Issei sweats a bit before scratching his cheek. "I-I'm not looking for a girlfriend right now... especially with someone who is faking it."

Issei walks past her after patting her shoulder and walking off, going up to the barrier and walking past it, surprising 'Yuuma' and The nekomata girl spying on their conversation. After a few minutes, with the barrier down and Yuuma just standing there, her brain finally caught up to her on what just happened and her expression blanches.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH?!"

"Are you sure that was wise partner? You're strong enough to take her down with some ease as well as the protection of the devils. Surely you noticed that the silver haired one was following you since you left the school." Ddraig says in Issei's mind. The boy sighs before answering.

"I know I know but I just... can't, not yet anyway. I'm not emotionally strong enough to do that to her yet. I mean sure she killed me, but she was also my first love. It's hard to explain but surely you get it right?" Issei answered aloud before reaching his street, Ddraig staying silent as to that, not really wanting to get involved in this kind of conversation as it brings up old wounds with a certain blue Dragon.

"Yeah, thought so bud. I'm going to likely confront her tomorrow due to her wanting to kill me, so you may get your wish anyway." Issei says before entering his home, having dinner and doing his homework, and subsequently going to bed for the day, anxious about what may come in the days to come.
