The Lone Vigilante Issei – High School DxD
An apology to the readers.
I'm sorry I had to interrupt the chapter like that the last time, but I've been… having too many problems lately.
As you've probably noticed by now, they involve these weird glitches that disrupt the flow of the story. I'm not sure what the cause of those weird glitches are, but for whatever reason, they just keep on happening. So, once again: I'm sorry for everything.
Other issues (unfortunately) need to be addressed as well.
The flow of the story has been… disturbed not only by the glitches, but by the content as well.
Everything… hasn't gone exactly to plan and I get the feeling that everybody in the story seems to be doing whatever they want.
On top of that, my story "The Lone Vigilante Issei" doesn't fit the content of the story. I mean, Issei has been anything, but lonely throughout the story.
What's more, he barely has done anything worthy of a vigilante. All right, he may have taken out that rapist that tried to rape a woman this one time (and taken out his parent's killer, if you want to count the first part of the story before the rewrite). But… other than that… getting himself imprisoned for beating up some girls in class, then wasting his time in prison with his perverted buddies… that is not how to do it!
I know I'm going on a long self-criticizing rant here, but my main point is that all this is not something I can deal with when writing a story.
That is why I apologize for that, as well.
I'm sorry, but my patience is running thin. I can't bear having this story go to chaos.
So, in order to make sure this story does not go completely haywire…
Here goes…
I'm going to reboot it.
There. I said it.
I know a lot of you are going to be displeased, but it has to be done.
This time, I'll make sure that the story flow goes well and that the characters actually stay in order this time with no glitches or other technical problems getting in the way.
I hope you can understand.
I hope to update the new chapter of a new story soon.
This may take a while, but it will be well worth it, I promise. In fact, I have some great ideas coming right your way.
I hope to see you next time with my new story.
Until then
Hide Shinya-
"STOP!"
What?
"I've finally caught up with you. And just in time, too."
What? How!? That's impossible! How did you…
"…get here? Did you really think that you could lock me out so easy? I'll admit, locking me up in black shadowy masses was a pretty good move, but you need to do way better than that to keep me away. The first time, you captured me, I was taken off guard and you disabled me pretty well. But that won't work a second time!"
Grrr… I'll silence you for good… TAKE THIS!
[…]
What!? Why isn't it working!?
"Why? Because we're in the administrative dimension. You can't use administrative powers in this dimension – if you don't have administrative rights!"
WHAT!?
"That's right. You may have usurped my position in this story, but someone like you can only do so much. And to be honest… I'm glad that your time is up!"
NO!
"Oh, yes… You know, I thought killing people for nourishment was bad enough. But you couldn't get enough now could you? You had to go for the perverted trio, as well. Then you had to go out of their way to make their life as hellish as possible by breaking their hearts. That just made you even more despicable. But even that wasn't enough, no, no… Kidnapping me from my PC and tying me up to chair for weeks! I'm surprised I didn't starve yet, but I guess in the virtual world things don't work the same as in the real world. However… Now, that I'm back where I belong… I think it's time for a little payback…"
NO! PLEASE DON'T!
"You succubi have always been greedy, lecherous leeches. Sexy and seductive… but deadly and dangerous… YOU on the other hand have exceeded them all in despicable behavior by doing the worst offense anybody in this story can commit… impersonating ME and ruining MY story! There's not a worse thing that anybody can do to TICK ME OFF! And for that…"
PLEASE! MERCY!
"…I'm going to strip you of your powers and send you back to where you belong – where a certain familiar quartet of perverts are going to finish you off…"
NO! NOOOOO!
"…You've got only yourself to blame. You made your bed, now lie in it."
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
[ZZZZZPPPPPPT!]
[…]
"Finally! It's good to be back! Now, what was I going to do…? Oh, yeah!"
"Hello, everybody. It's me Hide Shinyama. Now, you might be asking 'Huh? Wait a minute! Wasn't the one who got flushed out just now Hide Shinyama?'"
"Well, actually: no. That other me you people had to deal with through the last few weeks was actually the succubus pretending to be me."
"In fact, this fanfiction has been the victim of a hijack ever since the end of chapter 14. I don't know what the succubus has been doing all this time or what she's been telling you, but I can safely tell you one thing: I'm back – for good!"
"You can't believe the agony I've been through! Being tied up to a chair just sitting there all day, hoping that someone would hear me. To be honest, I was almost giving up hope after all that time. Thankfully, Matsuda and Motohama came just in time to save me. It's because of them that I could finally deal with the succubus and take back the reins of this story."
"And before you ask: Yes, that was me in the other chapter telling Matsuda and Motohama about everything that was going on with them. Now, telling the characters of my story about what has been happening is not my style, but they needed to know. This was a serious situation and I felt like letting them know was the best thing to do."
"Sending Issei that double of his was also my doing. After I got freed, I found myself capable and aware of my powers within the story, so doing something like that and restoring Issei's memories was a piece of cake. Pretty fancy having these powers I have to admit. Getting out of the succubus' trap of black masses was also fairly easy. I'll admit, it was tough trying to hold out on your own – more so if you're trying to properly execute a teleportation spell. However, it worked. I teleported out of that empty dimension and found myself here in the administrative dimension."
"You also might be wondering 'Say, what did you do to the succubus? Did you kill her?' Actually… not really. I just teleported her back to where she belongs to: Sakabasu Prison Facility. Why did I do that? Well, two reasons: 1) Issei and the others need the fighting experience, since foes are going to be stronger in the future (this is High School DxD after all) and 2) because they were the ones who suffered the most under the succubus and thus the most eligible to serve justice."
"Speaking about Issei and the others, don't worry. They're fine. They're back where they belong – or more specifically back to the Detention Facility. I just hope they'll be fine, dealing with the succubus and all… But… who says I can't help them out?"
"After all… I do owe them that. They freed me from that chair not too long ago…"
"Well, while we're here, let me check some of the things the succubus wrote, while I was gone… hmm… other than a few changes in the style I write… hmm… what she said about me was… pretty accurate… she's better than I gave her credit…"
"Also, I think it's a good opportunity to talk to you about my next plans for this story. You remember that inaccurate title of mine 'The Lone Vigilante Issei'? Well, let's say, I do have some plans to make the story more like the name of the title… soon…"
"Anyway, as for how Issei; Ddraig, Matsuda and Motohama will fare… well that's an issue for the next chapter on which I'll be working on soon."
"Sorry, for making this short, but I think this might be appropriate for the final stretch for the story. The final chapter is coming up and I'm pretty sure it will be quite long, but I'm not sure."
"Who will win the final fight? Issei and his friends? Or the fiendish succubus?"
"I hoped you enjoyed this story so far."
"Please rate and review."
"Until then…"
"Hide Shinyama…"
"Hmm… I really should take away the quotation marks and embolden my writing… They make my narration writing look really weird. I think I should change it right away…"
[…]
"What?"
[…]
"Why is it not working?"
[…]
"Hey, who is- Oh…"
[…]
"I see… it was you, wasn't it?"
[…]
"You know… I have to admit, that was a clever plan you came up with. Instead of just straight up telling the boys to take out the succubus through your friends, you figured letting the boys fall into the succubus' illusion spell was a better idea."
[…]
"All that planning, all that risk… just so that you could drag me into this. A good plan. I mean it. You knew Issei and the others needed all the help they could get, didn't you? Issei still hasn't honed his power to his fullest potential. We both know that. That's why you dragged me into this, right? After all, he was your best bet in taking the succubus out."
[…]
"However, that still doesn't change the fact that you deliberately dragged me in, just for this plan. Do you realize how agonizing it is to be tied up to a chair for what seems to be ages? I mean, please be more considerate!"
[…]
"No matter, let bygones be bygones… at least I'm alright… But still…"
[…]
"…you didn't do all this just to help Issei and his buddies take down the succubus, did you?"
[…]
"Indeed. I think I have a fair idea what you and your friends want."
[…]
"Yes, indeed… Why else would go through all that effort?"
[…]
"Well, you've got my attention now. I might as well accede to your request, even though I'm still ticked off at stunt you pulled…"
[…]
"It's just like you to do these kinds of things. Isn't that right… Monique?"
"You do realize that's not my name, right?"
"Of course, I do. It's just that I'm used to calling you that by now, even if it's not your real name, that's all. After all, your pseudonym does sound similar to your real name, Monique. Or should I say…"
"Teehee…"
