Deity's Annihilation

Okay, first off, reviews.

RangerElk76: You know it my friend!

Zestarios: Thanks man, here's the next!

Sasuke75249: He won't really, but that's because his father's powers are also elemental, and Svarkova's version is much more powerful, as she is a dragon, of course.

Tohka123: Thank you very much my friend!

I was thinking of something recently, and wanted to try it. If you would like, write a question about me in the reviews, and I'll answer them, within reason, obviously.

Anyway, sorry for the wait, school's busy, and here's the next!

[Svarkova Talking Out Loud]

{Mode Change}

Chapter 10

Issei woke in his mind, greeted by the calm landscape of the mountainous areas, floating seas and calm, yet threatening thunder clouds, ready to break at a moments notice.

[My child.] Came a rumbling, yet feminine, voice behind him. He turned and was greeted by the sight of a massive, but familiar, dragon. His lips upturned, forming a pleasant smile.

"Scarlett, not that I'm not happy about this, but why am I here?" The teen asked, confused, yet not wanting to hurt the feelings of the maternal dragon.

The dragon explained her reason. [Ise, I wish to probe through your mind.] Issei was confused, to say the least. But he trusted the behemoth. He nodded to the massive Elemental Dragon. Smoke began to emit from her mouth, and enveloped the teen. Issei felt something feel at his mind, slightly irritating him, but held off expelling it. Svarkova kept this up for another thirty seconds, before she released her hold on his mind. She gave a slight huff, either in annoyance or realisation, Issei didn't know which it was.

"What is it Scarlett?" He asked in curiosity.

[It is nothing, my boy. I just wanted to check on your mind to make sure the Balance Breaker wasn't causing any damage to you mentally.] The dragon hated lying to he possessor, but she had to withhold it from him, just until she was sure of her find.

Issei just shrugged. "If it helps, I feel fine. Anyway, I need to check on Hannai today, and start to train. Anything else you need Scarlett?"

She just shook her massive head and gave him a reassuring smile. He beamed back, before he went up in flames in front of the dragon. Once the flames died down, the boy was gone.

[This isn't good. I know something's there, but I just can't find it. This isn't him, he wouldn't snap like that normally.] Svarkova pondered aloud. She had known the boy most of his life, and knew he wasn't normally like this, always snapping. She grunted, before flying to the colossal mountain in the back.

-Line Break-

Hannai awoke to a strange, unknown room.

'Ughh... Where... Where am I? How long was I asleep for?' Then the most recent memories flooded in. Her heart hurt for a moment, as she remembered how she attacked Issei, her friend. Then she remembered how he forgave her and helped her. Her core warmed at that memory. She finally remembered her last moments awake. She being taken by her 'comrades', the fallen angels. Then, she remembered seeing someone in the dungeon. A figure. Her shining knight, of such.

"Was... Was that Ise?" She found herself asking no-one. A knock was heard at the door, snapping Hannai from her thoughts. She stood to open it, but a pain in her side flared. She cried out and fell to the ground, clutching her side. The door burst open, and Issei ran in.

"Hannai! Are you okay!?" He looked about the room, his eyes still adjusting to the dark, even with his draconic vision. His gaze dropped on Hannai's crouched body and he sped over to her. He crouched down and held her, just held her.

She instantly felt warmer in his grasp, and the pain fading from her side. She forgot she could heal herself with her Twilight Healing in the moment of confusion. After a short while, he pulled away and held her face.

"I'm so glad you're awake. When you were taken, I was so scared they would harm you." Issei stared into her light green eyes. Her heart fluttered for a moment, before she snapped from her trance.

"I-I-I'm o-okay now Ise." She reassured the devil.

Issei gave her a small smile. "You've been out a while now, you have missed a bit." His eyes gained a darker shade towards the end of his sentence, and his aura flared momentarily, before returning to normal. He helped the fallen up and brought her to the living room. She was greeted by the sight of a barely-clothed High-Class Devil sitting on a sofa. Rias gave her a smile. Despite being a fallen, she was Issei's friend, and he saved her, so she trusted the boys judgement.

Issei sat the bluenette down and went to sit himself with Rias, holding her hand. This slightly irritated Hannai, but she quickly dispelled the thought, realising he loved the red-head, and was open about it.

"Well Hannai-san, this may come as a shock to you, but I have made you into a devil, and are now part of my peerage." Rias stated simply, right to the point.

This shocked Hannai, to say the least. "What?! Why?"

"After Ise killed all the fallen and exorcists at the church, he found you, tied up and dying. He cried for you. And I said I could save you, so he took that option."

"I'm sorry Hannai," Issei started, avoiding her eye contact, staring at the ground, "But I just couldn't let you die. You deserved better. If you want to leave, I won't stop you, it was me who started this in the first place. You must hate me now."

He kept his gaze lowered, and Hannai just sat with her jaw practically on the ground. She couldn't believe this, he saved her and yet he was sorry about it. The Fallen looked at Rias, conversing with the Devil silently, and Rias nodded slightly. Hannai stood up and walked to Issei. This time, she was the one crouching, and holding him.

"Ise, I could never hate you, you saved me, and accepted me for who I am. I wouldn't leave you, ever."

After a moment, the two split and Hannai returned to her seat.

"Well, now that that's over, there is something you have to be aware of Hannai-san." Rias stated in a serious, business like manner.

"Okay, and just Hannai please Rias-sama" Hannai replied.

"Okay, but you have to call me Bouchou now," Rias started, "And do you know of the High-Class Devil, Raiser Phenex?"

"I know of the Phenex Clan, but not him specifically."

"Well, he's the Third son and the next Heir. I'm also engaged to him."

Hannai looked at her King confused, then to Issei. She was slightly taken aback from his scary look. "I thought you loved Ise?" She asked.

"I do! But this was a forced arrangement, before I met Issei, and the only way to break up the marriage is a Rating Game."

"What's a rating game?" Hannai didn't know what this was, as she was only a low class Fallen. Issei also looked intrigued, not knowing.

"It's a battle of sorts, between two peerages, in a chess like manner." Rias then explained the Evil Pieces to her new Bishop. After a brief explanation, just about the basics, such as the pieces, the abilities and which ORC members were which pieces, Hannai a good idea of the Devil's system.

"So... We have to have a Rating Game with this Raiser person?" Hannai summarised.

"Essentially, yes. If we win, I'm free. If we lose, however, I have to marry Riaser," Rias grew sad at the end, and Issei's eyes regained the darker shade.

"But we have two weeks to train. Everyone," Issei stated loudly, eyes and voice brimming with determination, "I'm not letting that pathetic excuse for a Devil make Rias unhappy."

This warmed the red-head, and made the bluenette happy at his will. Doing everything to protect those lose to him.

Rias clasped her hands together, "It's settled, all of my peerage, including you Hannai, will take a couple of weeks out of school to train. I'll arrange it with Sona, to tell the school it's a research expedition to avoid suspicion of the humans."

"We got this Rias," Issei was overflowing with determination and passion. He wouldn't let anything take away his love.

-Line Break-

"Is this the place Bouchou?" Issei asked his king on the top of a tall hill. It was early morning, with the sun rising over the horizon. The rest of the peerage were still coming up the hill with the exception of Kiba, with his Knight speed was in in line with the strong Pawn. Rias came next, with Akeno following, Koneko after, but with a bag at least three times the size of her. And finally, Hannai, leading the rear, panting for breath, not used to this much physical effort.

"That's it Ise-kun, one of the Gremory's human estates, but we use it for either training grounds on occasions such as this, or a holiday home of such," Kiba explained, with a small hint of pride in his voice, barely noticeable due to his Knightly modesty.

The rest of the group caught up with the two 'Princes of Kuoh Academy'. Most were in a light sweat, but Hannai was shaking, her knees starting to buckle. Issei took her backpack off her.

"It's a teams duty to help their friends, just ask for help," Issei stated simply, with a small smile gracing his lips. She merely nodded her head, offering it as a small gesture of thanks.

"Let's get to it then!" Rias exclaimed to her team enthusiastically. They all whooped and smiled.

-Line Break-

Once inside the mansion, the group split up, with the boys going to the baths and the girls going to get unpacked. Once in the baths, with Issei washing his hair, he asked Kiba something.

"Kiba, what abilities do you posses?" Issei inquired, "It's just that I've never seen you fight really, and only for a brief moment with a sword, but I can sense something different off you. Do you have a Sacred Gear?"

Kiba smiled at his innocence, "Why yes Ise-kun, I do have a Sacred Gear," he stuck out his hand, and a sword materialised out of thin air, "I can create any sword, using them to my disposal. It's called Sword Birth." The sword disappeared from his hand once he finished his sentence.

Issei's eyes were wide, "Wow Kiba-kun, that's really impressive. Any sword?"

Kiba chuckled to himself, "Why yes. But I think yours is cooler, it is a Longinus Gear. A very High Tier one at that."

Issei rubbed his head at his comment, "Yea, it is really cool to have a dragon with me. She's really cool," Svarkova smiled inwardly at his compliment, pride gushing.

Once the two had finished their bath, and washing each others backs as a way to sort of build their friendship, they met up with the girls. Everyone was in their tracksuits, ready for their first day of training. Rias nodded to Issei to begin explaining his training plan. He was a good tactician when it came down to it.

"Hannai, you will train with Koneko-chan to build up your stamina and endurance in the forest. Kiba-kun, put some weights on your body and just attack the air to build up speed. Akeno-san and Bouchou, you two battle against each other for the time being. When Hannai and Koneko-chan are finished, Hannai, go to Akeno-san and Bouchou to train in magic some more, as the Bishop. Koneko-chan, you can work on your speed, doing the same as Kiba. Any questions?" Issei finished his big training plan.

"Yes Ise-kun, what about you?" Akeno asked, curious at what the teen would train on.

"I'll be inside my mind, training with Scarlett, to build up endurance and to train with my abilities, to avoid causing havoc here," Issei finished. With no more questions, Issei added, "Good luck everyone, and I shall see everyone tonight." With that, everyone wished each other good luck and went their separate ways. Issei started to walk to the mountain nearby, to get some peace for his training.

Once he found a perfect spot, he sat down and got ready, "Okay Scarlett, lets do this!" He closed his eyes, and the two week training began!

That's the end of another chapter! Yes, it's short, but it will have a time skip, probably just going to the Rating Game. Sorry again for the lack of chapters, I have been lazy, yes, but I'm really busy recently, and I have to learn lines for a play I'm in, and I'm off for half term, so I should be able to write a bit more.

Anyway, if you liked this chapter, review, favourite and all that good stuff, and please leave ideas, it really helps.

See you in the next one!
