"Ok...could you repeat to me again how did we end up in this?" Character speaking normally.
[Feel free to be honest Aibou...I have absolutely no idea, in fact I'm just as perplexed as you are] Ddraig/Albion or whatever being sealed in a Sacred Gear.
(Think my brain, what were we doing before all this happened?) Character thinking.

-Prologue: Are we starting again but not as we remembered?-
Every action in this world, no matter how small, generates an outcome that many believe can be controlled.
But the truth is that every action taken triggers countless options to be carried out.
Something as simple as getting up in the morning ten minutes earlier than you do on a regular basis could completely change what was supposed to happen to you this day.
For that very reason I pose the following question to you, the person reading this right now.
¿How much could your life change if you knew what was to come?
-Kuoh City -Kuoh City Hyoudou Residence: Year 2001-
Another pleasant Sunday had come to the peaceful city of Kuoh, a medium-sized city in Japan, a city that was not at all something that would attract the attention of any foreigner or even tourists if we compare it with the big cities of renown in the country.
But do not think that because it was not comparable to cities like Tokyo or Kyoto Kuoh was not a developed city, this city had many places to relax and sightsee.
The people of Kuoh enjoyed their lives and went about their daily business without worrying much about what was going on outside the city.
That brings us to this place, a comfortable two-story house where a common family of the city, the Hyoudou, lived.
A family made up of Hyoudou Gorou the father of the family, Hyoudou Miki the mother of the family and finally their only son Hyoudou Issei.
Hyoudou Issei was a little boy of ten years old, with messy brown hair, light brown eyes and average height for a boy of his age.
Just now that little boy was lying on his bed asleep, with the blanket he used to cover himself half thrown on the floor, the window and the curtains of his room open, allowing the sun to enter through it and start hitting the boy's face.
"Ise get up already or you'll be late for school, remember today is the day of the field trip to the aquarium!"
Who spoke was the chestnut's mother, she was in the kitchen preparing a special Bento for the little chestnut?
Today was the long awaited (for the boy) day of the excursion to the aquarium, Miki hoped that this would help her son to cheer up a little after he was depressed by the departure of his friend Irina Shidou.
Upstairs, Issei's sleeping place, Issei shook a little after hearing his mother's call.
"Mmm...five more minutes mom..." Exclaimed the little boy tossing and turning in his bed.
Picking up a part of the blanket to completely cover his head, rejecting the attempts of both his mother and the sun coming through his window to lift him up.
"..."
That's how the little boy remained covered by the sheets for a few more seconds, until suddenly the chestnut suddenly stood up all of a sudden, pulling the blankets off of him, looking in all directions.
"WHAAAATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Emitting a very loud scream.
A scream loud enough that it seemed to shake the house completely, scaring the neighboring houses and their inhabitants, the animals that flew over the house and even the cats that passed by.
TAP TAP TAP TAP
BLAM
"I know what's wrong, why did you scream!" Alarmed Miki rushed upstairs towards her son's room.
Slamming the door open and finding him lying on the floor in a bad position, mother and son locked eyes.
Issei was glaring at her for some reason.
"hah" Miki sighed, bringing both hands to her hips and shaking her head "let me guess did you have a nightmare and fall out of bed?"
"Ha...ha...yes?" the little boy said with a surprised and somewhat confused face.
Miki shook her head again, turning around ready to go back to the kitchen to finish the Bento.
"Don't be late and get changed, today is the day of your school's field trip and I don't think you want to miss it by being late."
And with that last said Miki left her son's room, closing the door on her way out.
Leaving Issei alone, who sat on the floor, looking at his room carefully, looking at his hands and then seeing his reflection in a mirror that he had in his closet.
Seconds later, he brought his right hand to his cheek and forcefully pulled at it.
"Ite!" She exclaimed in pain with her cheek already red "It's not a dream! What the hell happened and why the hell did I go back to when I was ten years old!"
A strange and very curious adventure has just begun for Hyoudou Issei, the strongest Sekiryuttei ever.
-Kuoh City Aquarium -Kuoh City Aquarium-
I feel that I should explain the situation a little bit and more than anything I do it because otherwise I myself will think that I'm crazy or that I'm in an extremely powerful illusion from which I can't get out no matter how hard I try, although talking to anyone in specific already makes me feel like a crazy person...to hell with it I'll just talk.
My name is Hyoudou Gremory Issei, the current Sekiryuttei, the Oppai Dragon and hero of the supernatural world as we know it and for some strange, incomprehensible and mysterious reason I find myself back in my childhood or at least back to my 10 years of age.
How did this happen? I have no idea, the last thing I can remember before waking up in this infant form of mine, is that I had gone to sleep after my 27th birthday party was over.
A party organized by my wives where all of them attended even though some of them were quite busy, my greatest friends and the occasional rival.
It was a great party, but now the thing is, I don't remember anything else after going to sleep and waking up to find myself as I am now.
Why did I go back to when I was 10 years old? I have no idea but I'm partly thankful I didn't go back to when I was a baby, it was kind of like those novels I had recently read in my spare time.
What has happened to Rias and the rest of the girls? I have no idea either and it worries me, although if I'm ten years old, Rias and the rest should be in the underworld right now, or at least I think Rias and Akeno.
I never got to know at what age Kiba and Shirone joined Rias.
Should I be wasting my time visiting an aquarium instead of looking for answers? Of course, I shouldn't be wasting my time here!
"Alright guys over here!" exclaimed the lady in charge of giving my class sightseeing tour.
"Class, heed the directions."
Right about now I find myself surrounded by a group of kids who I arguably know and at the same time not very much as I find myself on an exit from the school.
From what little I manage to remember is that my elementary class went to visit an aquarium as a group outing, this was some time after Irina left.
I didn't remember much about this trip since nothing remarkable happened to reminisce about, I just remember that I had fun and it helped me cope with Irina being gone even though by that time she was my childhood "Friend".
Which made me realize that if the date is when I was ten years old, currently in Kuoh there must not be any noble clan demon controlling the city.
Not after Diehauser-San's cousin had "Died" after she knew about the King piece incident.
"Wait...doesn't that mean what?" I said quietly.
"Come on Hyoudou move forward" exclaimed a girl behind me, pushing me to move.
I had been a few moments static in thought after noticing something very important about my "Current Time" not noticing how the single file leading the aquarium employee with my classroom had started to move, causing my other companions to fall behind.
"Come on Hyoudou move" exclaimed another boy from further back.
"Yeah, yeah I'm coming don't push me."
"You're weird today" said the girl annoyed by my attitude.
I couldn't remember who this girl was, I think she was a Miyamoto something, but I wasn't sure if that was her first or last name.
From her appearance I couldn't remember if I had met her, she had short hair of a black color with violet tones, her eyes were the same color, light violet.
But except for the curious color of her hair, there was nothing to remind me of her in the least.
"Why are you looking at me so Hyoudou?"
"No reason," I said.
Moving forward and in doing so the other children behind me were able to move forward and stopped bothering me.
All of these were children who were in the same class as me during elementary school and few of them I saw again after entering high school and even fewer after entering the Kuoh Academy.
So, if you asked me right now for the name of all these kids I couldn't answer well, the worst thing is that I think I remembered everyone's name in those years.
"You're weird" said another kid behind.
I kept quiet so they would stop looking at me, don't pay attention to a kid and they will soon get bored.
The aquarium employee guided us to another place inside the aquarium, now looking at other fish.
While I was looking at the different exhibits, I could notice certain things, like some exhibits were still here or rather would be here for a few more years, others that I remembered from my adolescence and adulthood were not here, things of no importance really.
While the others in my class were joyful and excited about this trip, I couldn't get what was going on out of my head.
(Ddraig, are you, their mate?) I asked mentally.
Before leaving my house, I tried to communicate with Ddraig in several occasions, but I didn't get any answer in any of the attempts.
Which in part would not be strange, I was barely able to communicate with Ddraig sometime after I activated my Sacred Gear, which I did when I was 16 years old.
So, I tried with all my strength to remove the Boosted Gear, but only half succeeded because what appeared was the form of the Boosted Gear in its Twice Critical state.
Which told me that right now it was impossible for me to take out the Boosted Gear at its full power, moreover I think that having managed to force the appearance of its TC state was already an achievement.
"I guess it was obvious, my current body is much weaker than when I originally activated the BG" I said in a low voice.
While my other companions were enjoying the walk, I had moved away from them all, sitting on one of the many benches.
Maybe it was because I had returned to a state of infancy, but I felt very different, I felt extremely weak and it was hard for me to do some things, maybe it was because I am not used to this change, although in all fairness I think that nobody could get used to something like this happening to them.
As focused as I was, I didn't notice much of what was going on around me nor did I notice things that even for my infant form would be easy to notice.
FLUSH
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
I heard a scream in the distance and when I looked back to the front, my eyes noticed that the place had "changed" slightly.
A change that I recognized perfectly due to the fact that I had seen it take place countless times before.
"Oh, damn...it's a barrier" was the only thing I could say as I stood up "that means that there is a street demon here".
I looked towards the place, observing how everything around me took that "Ambience" or tonality of when one was inside a barrier.
Then, to make matters worse, I saw how what looked like a strange mixture of different insect-like creatures began to move all over the place, covering the fish tanks and devouring the fish.
The insects broke through the giant fish tanks of the aquarium, causing the whole place to slowly begin to flood.
"Surely this shouldn't be happening!"
Moments before, at the entrance of the aquarium, a couple of very suspicious individuals entered the place.
For some mysterious or "Magical" reason the people around them did not seem to notice the existence of these people no matter how flamboyant they looked.
"Hehe, really that your camouflage ability is amazing Vacu, look how much food we have for today" exclaimed a grown man.
Tall with black tes, sturdy build with muscular arms, head completely devoid of hair, with a Chinese tattoo on his right cheek, three piercing on his left eyebrow, eyes as red as blood, his attire was a mix of traditional girl's clothes and the typical attire of an American rapper.
In his hands or rather resting on his right shoulder was a long red cane connected by metal rings.
"Keep your voice down Bo Heng, even if they can't see us, they can still hear us, we don't want to make a fuss and let our food escape" exclaimed the other man.
He was covered by a long brown trench coat that concealed almost his entire body, leaving only his head and hands visible, his face remained with a dead expression and empty look, his skin was strangely pale.
"Does it matter? Now that there's no one controlling this city we can do as we please, there's food galore and women to have fun with, look at that chestnut over there"
"Just for now, once they realize what has happened the Maous forces will no doubt be on the move, don't forget that this city was controlled by house Belial"
"Ray really you are paranoid, if you are so afraid that the Maous forces will show up hurry up and raise your barrier, I would like to start eating now"
"You don't have to tell me; this vessel is starting to rot sooner than I planned".
The trenchcoated man named Vacu took a step forward, slowly raised both arms and pressed his palms together, taking a position much like a prayer, as his head began to turn around and around, his eyes turning completely black before the eyeballs popped out of their sockets.
{Larvae Hatchery :Yōchū fukaba}
From one moment to another, the entire aquarium was enclosed inside a special barrier, changing the atmosphere inside, taking a duller and gloomy tone as well as the sunlight and the sky that could be seen by the areas that had a view changed its tone, seeing the sky as if it were a sickly purple color.
With the barrier already up and preventing anyone from leaving the place, that man named Bo Heng took a big breath of air as he walked until he was right in the center of the aquarium's entrance.
"Alright everyone listen up! It's time for the hunt for the great Bo-Sama to begin so those of you who want to live a few more minutes I recommend you run and hide!" Exclaimed the man at the top of his lungs.
The people who were in the aquarium and who had just noticed the existence of these two turned to look at Bo strangely after he shouted out of nowhere.
Many began to wonder what was going on, beginning to crowd around the two.
"Hey you what do you think you're doing!"
A park security guard appeared due to the ruckus that had just erupted, approaching where Bo and Vacu were standing, looking quizzically at the latter.
"What do you think you're doing putting such a scary doll in the middle of the entrance?"
The man had mistaken Vacu for a dummy, completely ignoring the danger he was in.
"You'd better get this thing out of here and get out of here if you don't want me to call the police" exclaimed the security man threateningly.
After seeing Bo, he smirked, approaching the guard, who stepped back when he saw the difference in height between the two.
"Wh-what do you think you're doing?"
"You're too old, I don't like the meat attached, eat it you Vacu" Bo exclaimed patting the security on the man.
"Ok."
Vacu's body made a sound before writhing violently, under his trench coat his body began to deform until what appeared to be a large worm emerged from his chest.
The security who was standing close by watched all this in horror, contemplating as the worm pounced on him.
PLUSH
Moments later the security guard's head had disappeared, his dead body fell moments later generating a pool of blood.
The people who witnessed this understood that someone had just been killed, so their reaction was the most natural of all.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Several people shouted before everyone started running in panic in all directions.
Those who ran towards the entrance in an attempt to escape saw how they couldn't because an invisible wall prevented them from doing so.
"No, no, no, no, I told them to run oh otherwise it won't be fun" Bo exclaimed walking towards them, waving that staff in his hand.
It split, taking the shape of a triple nunchaku, masterfully he swung it and the result was instantaneous.
FLUSH
The bodies of those people were split by the force of the nunchaku upon impact, he stretched out his arms, bathing in the blood of the people.
"I love the taste of blood soaked in fear, this will certainly be a most appetizing feast" I exclaimed with a maniacal expression, before starting the hunt.
"I will send my offspring in" exclaimed the giant worm that was Vacu's true form.
PLAP
Moments later, the body it had been "using" exploded into thousands of pieces, releasing a swarm of multiple insects.
These began to go inside the aquarium, killing the people who crossed their path and devouring them to the point that not even the bones were left.
A massacre had begun and there seemed to be no one capable of stopping it, or at least that's what those two street demons thought.
Things had escalated too quickly for his liking, going from being a very rare problem to possible certain death if he didn't find some way out of this.
"Damn...what am I supposed to do now?" I cursed under my breath.
"Calm down kids, I'm sure help will be here soon" Exclaimed the teacher in charge of their classroom.
Just now I found myself hiding along with most of my classmates as well as a few other people who were nearby when all this started.
When all the chaos of the attack of these strange insects began, I thought fast and I was ready to hide even though I didn't want to, in their current situation I couldn't risk a fight which I couldn't possibly win.
(I could barely kill one of these things) he thought crushing one of the insects with his foot, watching it dissipate into a black powder.
(No doubt this is the work of a street demon, some sort of mutation of this one?)
The Twice Critical could double its power, but it was trapped in its infant body, there wasn't much power to double and it was barely able to defeat a single insect, let alone take on an entire swarm and those who commanded them.
(If I could pull out the Boosted Gear, I might at least have a small chance, come on Ddraig wake the fuck up if you're asleep and talk to me!) thought Issei looking at his left hand.
Briefly Issei felt an itch on his left arm, that maybe was a good sign, but he also felt a strange warmth in his chest, very close to where his heart was.
"Sensei I'm scared!"
"Mama!"
Several of her companions began to cry and scream, it was understandable they were all very scared and confused, a common and joyful trip to the aquarium had now turned into a possible grave for everyone.
And not only their classmates, those who had been hiding with them were the same way.
"Would you shut those kids up! Those things will find us!" Exclaimed one of the men who had followed them here.
From his attire he was an aquarium worker, I looked at his right arm and saw that he had a wound, one of those insects had bitten him.
"Yelling at them won't make them calm down" Replied his teacher, hugging one of his companions to calm him down.
From what little he remembered about her was that this teacher was always good to them, even to him which was amazing since at age 11 he started to show more of his boob-loving behavior.
But this was no time to think about that, he had to find a way to remove the barrier that covered the place, get those who were here sheltered with him out and somehow stop those stray demons.
(But that would mean finding the one responsible and defeating him) He thought trying to devise a method, forgetting about his own safety and retaking his role as Hero.
One of depending on who you ask her greatest virtue or greatest flaw, she couldn't stand by and do nothing while someone suffered while being present.
(For the current date in Kuoh there is no group of demons in charge or so I think, I do not remember very well, ah moments so I really feel that Rias is missing).
By now those who managed the city of Kuoh were demons in the service of the Maous, it would take a while but eventually someone would come along to put the brakes on these street demons.
But that was something Issei didn't know, so sitting and waiting could well cost him his life and that's exactly what happened.
CRASH
"¡!"
From one moment to the next the doors leading to this warehouse were completely kicked down, knocked off their hinges by a very powerful kick.
"They found us!"
Frightened, the people heard some footsteps making their way, at that moment one of the street demons made an appearance inside this warehouse.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here, we seem to have found a large amount of food in storage."
Issei saw that man and instantly knew that he was a street demon with a Piece [Tower], his entire body showed that he had previously been a tower despite not having the common mutations when you become a street demon.
(Great, I thought if it was a [Pawn] or [Bishop] I'd have a chance, but against a [Rook]? This just gets worse and worse)
"Hey Vacu your bugs are getting a little sloppy if you let so many be able to hide!" I exclaim looking back.
With a crawling sound, that large sized humanoid worm appeared, causing terror in everyone present.
"This is weird, I could feel one of my insects disappear near here" exclaimed the worm despite not having a visible mouth.
"Maybe one of the big fish ate it?"
"Maybe, in any case we'd better get this over with quickly, I've caught a lot of food with my nets."
Along with the worm, large spiders appeared carrying what were undoubtedly cocoons, cocoons that had people inside them.
"I say it again why the rush? It's not like there's anyone in this town that can stop us."
"Fool, it never hurts to be cautious, what are you going to do with these?"
The only human looking Man turned to look at the people inside the warehouse, grinning from ear to ear and licking his lips.
"I think I'll eat them all at once, a snack before we go."
This one approached towards the people inside, lightly waving the cane he brought in his hands.
"KYAAAAAAAAA!"
The children, their teacher and the people who were sheltered here panicked, starting to leave towards the back of the warehouse in fear.
Issei knew he had to act here and now or not only he, but everyone in here would die.
(It's all or nothing, these two betters be easily provoked) Issei thought.
[Boost]
With the characteristic sound of the Boosted Gear, his Twice Critical form appeared covering his left hand and taking it to his back, also making use of the long sleeves of his elementary school uniform to hide the Sacred Gear.
Making use of everything he remembered, he concentrated all the energy he could muster in his young body to launch a [Dragon Shoot] hoping that this would be enough.
(Concentrate all your power in a single point, make the shot dense enough to cause damage).
Staring at that street demon, standing still and preparing to bet everything on this one chance
His teacher, the kids in his class, the sheltered people were more concerned about their own wellbeing that they ignored that he had been the only one who hadn't retreated to the back.
(Come on, it won't be long now, just a little longer).
If there was one thing he knew very well, it was that almost all street demons viewed ordinary humans as mere food and were perhaps more arrogant about this than the noble demons themselves.
Seeing that Issei didn't move, Bo showed for the briefest of moments a look of confusion, switching to his sadistic grin again.
"Hmm? What's the matter brat, are you so scared that you can't move?" Exclaimed this one standing right in front of Issei.
Issei wanted to pretend to be scared, but the reality was that he really was terrified, if he missed, he was one hundred percent sure that there wouldn't be another chance to catch this demon off guard.
(Let's go just a little further, that worm who doesn't notice, I can notice some magic in him so he is surely a [Bishop]).
"What's the matter cat got your tongue?" Bo exclaimed squatting down.
Standing face to face with Issei placing a hand on Issei's head, the brown knew this was his only chance.
(NOW!)
Issei was ready to carry out his plan, which was to fire a [Dragon Shoot] with all the power he had been able to muster right in the face of the renegade demon.
If he was lucky this attack would kill it or leave it injured enough so that it could not follow him for the time being, which would give both him and the others who were here time to escape.
That worm-like demon was more interested in the prey he had trapped with the spiders than what was going on in here.
BLAM
Suddenly someone intervened to Issei's bad luck, completely messing up his plan.
"Get away from him right now!"
Issei didn't expect that his teacher had come out to help him, charging at the renegade demon with a fire extinguisher in hand.
Hitting him right in the face, but he didn't even move, it took something stronger to damage a reincarnated demon with a piece [Tower].
"Hey bitch" a pulsating vein remarked on Bo's face, looking at the teacher with a clear angry face "What do you think you're doing?"
With his free hand, Bo wielded that long staff transforming it into what was his nunchaku form, swinging it hard in an attack.
One of the parts of the nunchaku was about to split his teacher's head in two, there was no more time to waste.
"Damn, take this [Dragon Shoot]!" Issei took advantage of the fact that Bo had been distracted by his teacher, shooting him point blank in the face.
The energy Issei had managed to gather materialized into a small red sphere on the tip of the index finger of his left hand, the same energy that shot out and hit right in the street demon's right eye.
BLAAM
BOOM
An explosion originated when Issei's attack hit, raising a lot of dust because the ground broke into pieces.
Not paying attention to Issei and preferring to attack the teacher, the street demon did not defend itself in time, receiving the attack in full, throwing Bo's body backwards.
This attack in turn managed to save the life of Issei's teacher because when the [Dragon Shoot] was fired, the force of the [Dragon Shoot] pushed the body of the brown man backwards, also pushing the body of his teacher.
"Gha"
"Kyha"
Both Issei and his teacher rolled on the ground for a few moments as they landed, from the heavy blow of being thrown backwards and also hitting her head as she fell, Issei's teacher lost consciousness.
Issei for his part was the one who recovered first and tried to stand up despite the tiredness he was feeling right now.
"Did that kill him?"
Looking intently to the front hoping that his attack had succeeded in killing the street demon, but the cloud of dust that had risen hindered his vision.
FLUS
It was then that he saw something break through the smoke, even if his body was that of his childhood, his instinct was the same as it had been for a long time.
An instinct honed by a lot of fights where his life was put on the line time and time again.
[BOOST]
A charge of Boost allowed him at the last moment gave him the strength to recover from his exhaustion and manage to throw himself to the ground to avoid being decapitated by that triple nunchaku that extended from the cloud of dust.
"DAMN BRAT!"
Bo appeared in front of him, very very angry at the fact that he had lost an eye from that attack, brandishing his nunchaku at little Issei.
"Gh!
BLAM
CRACK
In time Issei rolled to the right to avoid the attack, the blow impacting against the ground splitting it open and causing both Bo and Issei to fall downwards.
Issei did not remember, but this aquarium had subway parking lots so that visitors with cars could leave them in peace.
Issei fell on top of a red car, shattering the windshield as his young body impacted with it.
"Damn, that hurt" he groaned trying to get up with great difficulty "am I bleeding?"
A hot liquid was running down his forehead and disturbing the vision of his right eye, as some glass or debris had fallen from the ground, causing a cut.
He looked around as best he could, noticing that he was in the parking lot, a place dimly lit perhaps because of the barrier that had been thrown over the aquarium.
"Where is he?" Issei tried to find the street demon with his gaze, but couldn't see him.
Would the fall have separated them too much? It was the first thing he thought, looking up to notice the hole through which he had fallen.
Noticing that he hadn't fallen far, so that demon must still be nearby.
"you're out of luck brat, now die!"
The demon emerged on his right side, wielding again that weapon very similar to a nunchaku and making a downward movement with one of the parts against Issei.
[BOOST]
Issei again charged his body with a Boost, allowing him to move in time to dodge the attack once again, making a powerful leap to the other side and evading death again.
Upon landing Issei saw how the car where he had fallen was violently broken in half because of that blow.
"That really would have been the end for me if he had hit me" He exclaimed feeling a cold sweat running down his body.
After his attack, that street demon put the nunchaku back together until he returned to his staff form, turning to look at Issei with the only good eye he had left.
"Brat... you're not someone normal, are you?" he asked after calming down a bit.
Looking closely at Issei as he could, noticing the Twice Critical on the chestnut's left hand.
"I see, you possess a Sacred Gear is that how you managed to avoid my blows?" he asked slowly approaching Issei.
Issei took a step back, he didn't know if it was better to face this demon when he was irate, or now that he seemed to be calmer.
"Who knows?" He replied.
[Boost]
Charging his body with another Boost, out of the corner of his eye he saw the Twice Critical, noticing how this one even though it was the same the power it was giving him is going up and up, a clear indication that soon the Boosted Gear in its full power would appear.
(Can I buy time for Ddraig to wake up? But even if he does can, I beat this street demon?) Issei thought trying to devise a way to win.
FLUSH
"Let's see what you're capable of Brat!"
In one swift move the street demon lunged forward.
At times like this, Issei didn't know exactly who to curse for his bad luck.
(It's Ddraig I have to blame for this one!)
While Issei was literally fighting for his life in the aquarium, in another part of the city two people had just entered the city of Kuoh stealthily so as not to alert those "in charge" of the city.
"Hey are you really sure he is in this city? By the way how did you know he was here in the first place?"
"As far as I know he was born here and lived most of his life here, although of course that may no longer be the case."
A grown man and a ten-year-old boy were walking through the streets of Kuoh.
"Can't you detect him?"
"By now he must be asleep, so there is no way to detect him easily."
The boy stopped, turning his head in the opposite direction they had been walking.
"Well...it looks like I was wrong, he's awake now."
The man scratched his head after hearing the boy's words, looking at him not quite sure.
"Is that good or bad?"
"It depends, if it's "He" then be sure he can explain what the heck is going on" The boy entered an alley followed by the man.
With no one around to see them, white and blue mechanical wings emerged from the boy's back.
"Move along Azazel, let's see if my "Rival" is who I think he is and if so see if he knows what happened."
"All this morning you have been very strange Vali, with the fact that you hugged me as soon as you saw me and that you explicitly asked to come to this city and on this continent, will you tell me what has happened to you?"
"Later Azazel, first we have something important to do or don't you want to see and analyze the Boosted Gear first hand?"
"You know how to get my attention kid, let's go."
Grigori Azazel's fallen angel ruler and this era's Hakuryuukou Vali Lucifer took flight in the city of Kuoh.
Neither knew what their presence in the city would unleash in the future.
In another part of town.
SHHH
"Gh What the heck?"
A brown man watched as suddenly a red mark appeared on his left arm, much like a tattoo that covered much of it and looked like chains imprisoning something.
Suddenly those red marks dissipated completely until the man's arm was completely unmarked.
Something that caused confusion and concern in the man.
"o no Issei"
CRASH
A car crashed right where he had been standing, managing to jump out in time, his body brushing dangerously against the vehicle.
"You're not doing bad at all brat; anyone would say you know how to fight despite your young age" exclaimed the street demon waving the nunchakus violently.
Issei barely managed not to get destroyed by those attacks, he was pushing his body to its limits and beyond.
Though despite literally fighting for his life, Issei couldn't help but think that there was something weird going on here.
And no, he wasn't just referring to the fact that he had mysteriously awakened in his infant body, nor that a couple of street demons were attacking when he remembered that such a thing had never happened before
But there was something strange going on with his body, that he could dodge the attacks of this street demon, even with a few [Boost] on him, what he was doing was beyond the normal capabilities that a ten-year old's body could do.
Something very strange was happening right now and Issei didn't quite know what to make of it.
BLAAM
Connecting a powerful right right to the chin, causing this demon to take a few steps backwards, shaking his head from the blow.
Issei wasn't going to let him recover, proceeding to leap up and deliver a spinning kick that hit right to the back of the demon's head.
Causing him to take a few steps forward briefly disoriented as he felt his brain shake violently inside his skull.
Issei landed and launched a sweeping kick aimed at the right leg, causing the demon to fall to its knees momentarily
Finally, he threw a powerful left-hand punch right in the face, throwing the street demon backwards.
[Reset]
After those quick and forceful blows, Issei fell to his knees on the ground, breathing heavily and holding his chest.
"The...[Boost] is over...my body...has...reached...its limits."
His vision was blurry, his entire body was aching to levels he couldn't describe, he wouldn't be surprised if right now his muscles were torn from the pressure exerted.
With difficulty even for something so simple, Issei looked up praying to God (Strange thing since he could now pray without getting hurt) that the street demon had lost consciousness after those blows.
"Ok, I repeat what I had said before, you're not doing bad at all kid."
To his really bad luck, that street demon got back to his feet without much difficulty, rubbing the areas where he had received the blows and thundering his neck.
Issei pouted after seeing the street demon get up seemingly unharmed, his blows hadn't done him any remarkable damage.
"You would have...done me a great...favor in...falling asleep for a while..." said the chestnut with difficulty.
Making a titanic effort just to stand up straight
"I'll give you a point, had I not been a [Rook] those punches could have knocked me out, be proud brat you did great."
Issei didn't take that compliment seriously at all.
The demon put on a serious face.
"But it's about time we ended this silly game, I'm getting hungry and soon we'll have to leave this place."
The street demon did something that confused Issei.
CLANK
He threw aside that staff/nunchaku he had been using all this time.
"I'll put an end to this with one blow!" He exclaimed as his voice began to distort.
And it wasn't just his voice, the street demon's entire body began to change, undergoing a bestial metamorphosis.
"Oh, come on, you've got to be kidding me!" Issei exclaimed, slowly looking up in panic.
The street demon began to gain size, enough so that his body almost touched the ceiling of the parking lot, his body larger and more muscular, large horns appeared on his head and a third eye appeared on his forehead.
His legs became brownish hairy hooves, a tail appeared and in general terms he took the shape of what could be said to be a mix between an orc and a minotaur.
Seeing this Issei could only curse, even more so when a gigantic fist headed towards him at a great speed.
A speed at which his damaged body would not allow him to dodge it in time.
"This...is bullshit."
BLAAM
CRASH
The chestnut's body was sent flying, bouncing about three times across the ground until it crashed into a white minivan, becoming embedded in it.
"...Hah..."
His head was bleeding profusely, completely bathing his face in red, his entire body had suffered much more damage than a normal human being could bear, many of his bones were broken as well as he could assure that his internal organs were also damaged.
With his mouth open and his eyes rolled back Issei lost consciousness.
A completely blank space, an infinite whiteness that stretched until it was lost in the horizon.
That was what Hyoudou Issei was currently seeing.
"Did I...die again?" he asked himself looking down at his hands.
Seeing that he was not in his ten-year-old body, but had returned to his normal body, the one that was twenty-seven years old.
+You are not dead yet, I am simply giving you a chance to get out of this setback+
A new voice came out of nowhere itself, startling the chestnut-haired man.
"Who are you, where are you?" he asked looking in all directions "are you the one who sent me to my body as a child?"
+You could say yes, I'm sorry but I can't reveal much unless you really want to die+.
Such words annoyed the brown man greatly, he was about to retort when the mysterious voice interrupted him.
+Look you weren't my first choice, neither you nor the white bore, but I have to fit the pieces I have, so let's get this over with, I can't keep this communication going for long+.
GRASH
In front of Issei something emerged from the white ground, something huge that seemed to get lost in the sky.
A huge block of gray stone, the stone had some engravings on it as well as the drawing of what looked like a gigantic dragon.
For some reason Issei felt something when he saw the drawing of the dragon, having a feeling deep inside him.
"Draig?"
+Right, your friend is for reasons I can't tell sealed even more inside you than he already was in that weapon created by the biblical god, now I give you a choice to end this fast+.
Issei placed his hand on the grey earthenware, feeling Ddraig's power calling to him, looking to where Ddraig's eyes were, noticing a brief glow.
Despite how confused he was, he knew what he had to do now.
"What do you want from me?"
+I like you to think fast and sensible, for that reason I sought out a more mature version of you, a younger version would have wasted a lot of time on questions+.
There were many details that Issei felt he was missing in this conversation, but there wasn't much he could do in trying to force some answers.
+Break this slab with your strength, so you will free the dragon and with that you can start, you have a lot to do in this place+.
"What exactly do I have to do?"
+"What is it that you always do o great Oppai Dragon?+
Well, this answered perhaps some questions that were hanging around in his head.
Issei touched the crockery once more, looking back into its eyes, noticing that glow again.
Issei stepped back a little, extended his right fist and prepared to throw a punch.
+It won't all be the same, so what you think you know might not be entirely true Oppai Dragon, but I'll tell you no more, it's up to you to learn along the way, you and the white Baldy+.
"Well...I guess I'll just have to make do" He exclaimed concentrating all his energy.
It was weird, here on this mystical magical spiritual plane or whatever the hell you want to refer to it as, I could feel more at ease, like I was regaining something I had lost a long but long time ago.
The energy concentrated in his fist, then he threw his punch.
BLAM
CRACK
With the sound of crockery being broken, a new adventure for Issei "Began."
"That guy was interesting, I'll eat him and gain more power that way, too bad I can't keep his Sacred Gear, it looked useful" exclaimed the orc/minotaur.
Slowly approaching towards Issei's unconscious body, licking his lips from the good food he was about to taste.
"Farewell child, go to the other world knowing that you forced me to get a little serious.
The street demon was right next to Issei, stretching out his right arm to grab the unconscious body of the chestnut and eat it.
ZIIIIII
"¡!"
Suddenly the street demon moved quite far away from the chestnut's prone body, his entire body was tense and beads of cold sweat began to break out, watching his trembling hands.
"What was that, what the hell is going on!" He exclaimed loudly.
His whole being began to feel the purest and most primordial of feelings.
Fear of death.
TAP
TISH
The parking lot light began to flicker, hiding Issei's still lying body in the darkness, with several of the lights popping.
"Hah...you know..."
With each flicker of light, Issei got back to his feet, slowly, his still badly injured body becoming firm again, the Twice Critical in his left hand coated with a red energy.
[Boosted Gear]
The red metallic gauntlet made an appearance, a red energy spread from the gauntlet to slowly cover the brown's body completely, generating red with black electric trails.
"I'll give you credit for being perhaps the person who has come closest to killing me in quite some time.
For the street demon something extremely strange and bad was happening, even though he didn't know it, his body and instincts were screaming at him to get out of here, to run for cover.
[But you missed the chance to finish him off street trash, that's why right now you're going to die and you only have yourself to blame] Ddraig's voice made an appearance [Your biggest mistake was not finishing off my Aibou when you had the chance].
Issei took a step towards the street demon, it backed up a step.
The moment he did so, the lights that flickered over the brown man ceased to do so, illuminating him completely.
Even with a disheveled appearance and completely covered in wounds, Hyoudou Issei showed himself to the street demon for what he was, the Strongest Sekiryuttei ever.
"Am I hallucinating, what are you, what the hell are you!"
The street demon's eyes were seeing something illogical, something that was and at the same time shouldn't be there.
They were seeing Issei's battered body surrounded by a strange silhouette, something very much like a giant dragon that was looking directly at him.
Feeling an immense pressure that made him feel as if he was a flea before a being he could not even remotely dream of comparing himself to.
"DAMN!
In a mixture of a fit of rage and panic, the street demon lunged at Issei, throwing a punch at the chestnut's body.
BLAAM
"¡!
Atonic watched as his punch was easily parried by the boy, using only a single hand.
"My turn" Issei clenched the fist he had parried as best he could with his boyish hands.
Making a shattering pressure on the street demon.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
The latter began to scream in pain, Issei's next move would cause him even more pain.
[Boost X 20]
BLAAM
Issei still holding the demon's fist tightly, charged several Boost on his other arm, throwing a powerful punch right in the stomach of the street demon.
The latter felt pain like never before, falling to his knees and holding the injured area, rolling on the ground in pain.
"I'm not done with you yet" exclaimed Issei holding the demon by the horns.
[Boost X 30]
Issei's entire body charged with power again, beginning to twist and turn then throwing the street demon hard.
BLAAM
CRACK
Crashing it into a wall of the parking lot, breaking it and now the street demon being the one embedded and seriously injured.
Issei realized that the demon's horns were in his hands and proceeded to break them by squeezing them hard.
CRACK
"Da…mn...brat!"
With difficulty, wounded, with his horns broken the street demon sat back up after coming off the wall, Issei looked at how the tables had turned so quickly.
"I'll get you for this you snotty little shit! I wasn't planning on using this but you forced me to!" The demon pulled something out of the remains of his clothes.
A small bottle that apparently contained something similar to pills, proceeding to take the whole bottle to his mouth and eating them without caring about hurting himself with the glass.
Issei saw how this demon began to undergo a "new" metamorphosis, if we can call it that, since there were very slight changes.
The street demon's body changed color from brown to an almost charcoal black, the horns he had torn off grew back, his body also gained more size and looked more muscular, the demon's eyes became completely red and without visible pupils.
There was no doubt that whatever he had ingested gave him a power surge at the cost of putting him into a Berseker state.
But for Issei this was no considerable change, he could still stand up to this street demon
[We'd better finish this soon Aibou, the exchange you gave me to momentarily unlock your power will take its toll on you soon and I don't know if I can avoid a collapse of your internal organs].
"Don't worry Ddraig, I had planned not to waste any more time and get this over with at once" Issei exclaimed walking towards the street demon determined to put an end to it.
The aura of the Boosted Gear and those black lightning with red tints surrounded his body, something that caught his attention but it would be another time to investigate.
TIC
As he did so and without really realizing it, his right foot kicked something, looking at it closely Issei noticed that it was that staff/nunchaku that the street demon had been using.
"This..."
Issei picked up the staff, as he did so he noticed the weight of it as well as a strange sensation as he held it in his hands, as if this weapon was responding to his power.
FLUSH
"Interesting" exclaimed Issei as he watched the weapon shrink slightly in size.
Adapting to a shape that could be handled better for its current size, seeing it change in size Issei maneuvered the weapon masterfully.
Over the years Issei learned thanks to several teachers to handle a large number of weapons, learn more combat styles among other things, not staying in being a good swordsman (Ascalon and Ascalon II) but to be someone multifaceted.
BLAM
Issei dodged a crushing blow by leaping to the side, the uncontrolled demon had launched himself into the attack without caring about anything but killing the chestnut
"Come on, let's get this over with already" Issei exclaimed changing the weapon from his staff form to Nunchaku.
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
The street demon let out a mighty roar that sent a sonic and air wave throughout the parking lot, exploding the car windows and cracking the pillars of this as well as the ground beneath his feet.
When the wave was about to hit him, Issei maneuvered the nunchaku between his hands quickly turning them and forming a kind of barrier that protected him.
Then he saw the demon again pounce on him, Issei with a leap avoided it, passing behind him and preparing the next attack, extending the nunchaku and making it grow in size momentarily so that two sections were hooked around the neck of the street demon.
"Let's fly" He exclaimed exerting force and throwing the demon backwards with great force.
The gigantic body of the demon flew away very fast, but Issei didn't even give it time to fall as it lunged at him again to attack him.
BLAAM
Hitting him on the outside.
BLAAM
Another blow that hit him squarely in the right leg.
BLAAM
Another blow to the left shoulder.
BLAAM
A full blow to the chest.
Each blow that the brown was hitting was leaving a mark with the shape of the nunchaku product of the force put in each blow.
Issei himself felt that his blows were doing more damage than expected, attributing it to the fact that perhaps this weapon had some strange effect that was enhanced by the physical strength of the bearer, not for nothing was the weapon that a [Tower] carried.
BLAAM
The body of the street demon finally fell to the ground after being literally beaten to a pulp by Issei, motionless, severely wounded and nowhere near death.
"Gha...Ghaa...aasa..."
Due to the blows nothing the demon said could be understood, this was his defeat and Issei prepared for the final blow.
Walking slowly towards the demon, bringing the nunchakus together so that they took the shape of an elongated staff, standing over the bruised body of the street demon, looking him in the eyes.
"..."
In these last moments of rationality before dying, the demon realized that confronting this "Child" had been a mistake, that no matter what he had done the outcome would have been the same.
Him dying at the hands of the strongest Sekiryuttei that would ever exist in history.
Issei said no more, and without saying procrastinate any longer.
STAB
He pierced the demon's head with the staff, it jerked for a few short moments before going completely limp.
With a slight struggle Issei withdrew the weapon from the street demon's head.
"It's over."
[Yes...but the other Aibou is still missing, in your state].
"Never mind, I have to stop him too, take my left arm if necessary but keep my body from silking" Issei exclaimed looking up.
He was looking for the hole where he had fallen into the parking lot, it was the fastest way to get to the other street demon.
SHHHH
Issei staggered a little, looking down at the corpse of the demon beneath him, noticing that it was slowly beginning to dissolve into strange black particles.
"I didn't remember that when a stray died this happened...was it always like this?"
[I don't remember, after everything that happened to us the stray demons were the weakest things we fought against.]
Issei preferred to think this over another time, now he had to hurry to get to where the other street demon was.
It had been maybe about ten minutes since he started his fight with this street demon, who knows what the other one had done in that time.
"There it is."
Issei spotted the hole he had fallen through, hurrying to jump up.
TAC
Great was the surprise when something fell out of the hole, when he saw it carefully, he noticed that it was the head of the other street demon, it was with an expression of pure terror.
"What the hell?" Issei exclaimed in confusion.
"Because you were taking so long, I took the trouble to finish off the demon as well as break its stupid barrier" A new voice exclaimed.
Issei looked up again and watched as a boy his age slowly descended, with a peculiar Sacred Gear in the shape of white wings with metallic blue, landing in front of him.
Red and white crossed gazes once again, light brown eyes looked into metallic blue ones.
Sekiryuttei and Hakuryuukou met in this era once again, the big question is whether the fated battle would be unleashed once again.
"First of all, I would like to ask you" Vali was the first to speak without taking his eyes off Issei "Are you a big breasts obsessive and repeat Oppais like ten times a day?"
At such a question Issei knew he had to answer.
"And you are an Edgy intent with multiple problems from your father's side of the family branch?"
At Issei's answer a total silence was assembled, the atmosphere was tense and anyone would say that it would be the preamble to the destined battle.
But the reality was that it was quite the opposite.
"If there's no doubt, it's you" Vali exclaimed emitting a tired sigh, hiding the Divine Dividing.
"And there's no doubt it's you" said Issei feeling more relaxed.
Maybe this is why he almost fell to the ground because of the damage added to the fatigue, if it wasn't for Vali holding him in time he would have fallen.
"Come on lean on me for now.
"Is it really you?"
"Yes, I am and I guess just like you woke up this morning looking like this".
"What's the last thing you remember?"
"Going to sleep after your birthday party."
"I see, then it really happened, we're back to the past."
"Yeah...and it's not the only thing."
"What do you mean?"
"Hey Vali did you find it, because I really want to get out of here before the Maous forces make an appearance!"
A new voice echoed through the parking lot, a voice Issei knew and hadn't heard in a long time.
As he looked up, he saw yet another person descends, a large black winged bulk, brown hair with that blond streak, groomed beard and very familiar attire.
There was no doubt that it was him and upon seeing and hearing him Issei felt a mixture of many feelings, joy, sadness, regret.
"Oh, so you are the Sekiryuttei of this era, it looks like you've had a hard time recently kid."
Issei wanted to cry, but that wouldn't be cool.
"Yeah...I had a horrible time, the worst school trip I've had in a long time, I think it beats the craziness of Kyoto" With some difficulty Issei straightened up.
Walking towards Azazel with difficulty, his body was about to fall from all the damage he had received, but he had to do this.
Azazel looked intrigued as Issei even in his bad state struggled to reach him.
"What's the matter kid, do you have something what?"
Azazel didn't finish asking his question when suddenly the brown hugged him.
"I'm very happy to see you Azazel-sensei."
And with those last words Issei lost consciousness.
Azazel caught the boy's body, not quite knowing how to react to this clear display of affection.
"You're going to have a lot of explaining to do later Vali" He exclaimed looking at the other boy.
"I know, but it will be better to do it when he has woken up, you will soon learn that if things get weird and confusing, He is to blame."
Azazel said no more, scratching his head slightly at the weird situation he had found himself in.
Things from now on would change, history as it was known would change drastically.
-¿?-
Once again in that infinite white wasteland, a figure completely covered in black stood in front of another completely golden one.
+I told you that in the end things would turn out well, now we just have to wait and see how the plot unfolds+ exclaimed the figure in black.
-Luckily and because of his decisions, I still say that we are playing with fire by intervening in such a way- said the golden figure.
+Oh, come on, both you and I know that if we didn't "Cheat" things would end up as they always have, besides I took the trouble to look for the most promising versions+
-In the end they will find out and when that happens, I assure you that the consequences will not be pretty-
+Your negativity annoys me enormously, in any case we can only watch, wait and "Act" at the most opportune moments+
-I still don't like the idea-
The black figure rolled her eyes, both of them focusing their sight on those two men in children's bodies who would carry the responsibility of the world on their shoulders.
