Issei: what the hell just happened to me?
He sat up trying to leave the bed, but they didn't let him get off the bed rias and Irina were the ones to push him back into the bed and try and get him to relax he gently pushed them off him and walked to Sirzechs and grabbed him by his shirt
Issei: what did you make me do?
He let go and passed out again and Sirzechs caught him, and he looked to the others and spoke
Sirzechs: let's give him a chance to rest whatever this had hit him hard and I'm worried for his sake of mind"
As Sirzechs took him back a green gem grew on Isseis hand and Ddraig's voice echoed around the room
Ddraig: you better explain what you made us go to his heart and mind are racing.
The gem went away and Sirzechs laid him down they saw the mass moving around his body again slowly leaving marks on his body
Asia: how did this happen when he came in he was fine what is this
she rushed to start healing him with Ravel and Akeno
ravel: she's right we need to figure out what this thing is
ravel stated as she was dropping phoenix tears on his cuts that the mas was leaving behind
Akeno: is it just me or does it look like it's adapting?
Sirzechs: what do you mean
Akeno: look...
They all came closer and they could see the mass growing scales and then dropping them at the same time after a while it settled back into his body and they watched as his scales spread around his body and then went away again, but the mass left a solid marking on his for arm
The marking didn't make sense it only left them with more questions this time issei stayed asleep
In isseis mind he found himself in his old room before it was remodelled by the Gremory, he walked around and then he noticed it the posters he had in his room all looked like someone he thought was dead they all looked like Raynare wearing the clothing he bought her, he walked over it to get a closer look
Issei: nope it's actually her dressed like this and her face isn't pasted on, but what do I do now?
he spoke to himself he heard the door creak open and then everything turned black and he was forced out and he awoke to the Gremory mansion in the underworld he sat up and saw that it was early morning
issei: "How long was I out, Ddraig"
Ddraig: about 1 day, you couldn't stay conscious long enough to figure out what was going on but all is good
Issei got out of bed and checked his body he was still covered in scars with some new ones, he looked back at his right arm and saw the mark that looked engraved into his forearm
issei: "Ddraig by any chance do you know what this is"
he traced it on his hand, and it moved and became a small object he looked longer and then it turned back into a mass and moved to his arm and stayed there
Ddraig: I'm not sure but it seems to be affecting your power in a good way, it seems to be adding and managing your raw power and slowly building it up in your body so your magic reserves should start seeing an increase in time, but why this is happening I do not know it is very interesting ill continue to monitor it during the day
issei: "Thanks man "
he walked to the bathroom to freshen up and found that one eye was slowly turning red and the other was still its golden colour and his silver streak of hair slowly started to spread to some other hairs he just wet It and pushed it back and he noticed more of his roots are turning sliver
issei:"Huh I might be turning into a full-fledged Lucifuge"
ddriag: wait you're not human anymore your body is adapting to your power, those that had me for long periods of time slowly had their hair go grey from the power fluctuation it might start turning black in a few months if I'm correct your getting your own dragon eyes and not having mine anymore
issei: " what "
the gem appeared on his hand and he heard Ddraig speak
Ddraig: what I saying is when I transformed you and you removed the chess pieces you let the dragon energy take up most of the space that would be your core as a whole, the dragon energy had a chance to grow and make you almost fully dragon and very small traces of devil energy that was left behind with the added sage magic flowing through your body for, is allowing you to become your own dragon as a title like I did
it took Issei a few minutes to process this
issei: "Back up a bit my own dragon so that means I could have a name like you have the red dragon of domination I could have my own title like that ?"
Issei couldn't see it but if dragons could smile Ddraig would have the biggest one
Ddraig: that's right when the transformation first happened I thought you were taking after my traits red scales, gold horns fire, but now that I look at what you can do now this was never my dragon aura but your own embedded in mine slowly taking over, you'll still have my abilities but you're about to get your own only you can ever have
Issei couldn't help but smile a bit
Issei: "This is awesome I can't wait to see how strong I can get "
He left the bathroom and found some of his clothes on a chair for him.
Issei:"This was probably one of the girls "
he got dressed and went downstairs to find them all eating breakfast in silence.
issei: hey everyone
before he could even step foot in the room, he was tackled by the girls Irina Rossweisse Ravel was the first to get to him the rest all followed suit after
issei: fine I'll give you this because it's been a while
before they could pull away he pulled them into a hug with his wings and they could feel his warmth all around them
Venelana: oh my this is quite an interesting morning isn't it
Venelana jokingly said as her husband and son and daughter-in-law with grandchild started chuckling with her when he let go he gave a kiss to Irina and Rossweisse then they went to sit
Issei: so I'm turning full-blooded Lucifuge
as he sat down and they all dropped their forks and nearly spat out their drinks
Grayfia:(surprised) What do you mean full-blooded Lucifuge
Grayfia spoke up looking super confused but surprised at the same time
issei: you see I still have trace amounts of devil magic running in me, but I believe the trace amounts turned into Lucifuge so I'm gaining some features, but Ddraig said it also when I transformed mixed with the sage magic it's allowing me to become my own dragon which is why the hair change and the eye colour
again they were stunned
zeotics: (amazed) Of all my years I've never seen this before but it's not unheard of it has happened when a reincarnated devil has taken to the household hold they were in but they had links to a higher level of power and that power influenced the change, I actually wonder if your eyes would have turned blue and hair red if you joined the Gremory or even similar to my wife's features if you chose bael
he added looking at isseis new upcoming features.
rias: well looks like you have a new blood sibling hey Grayfia
rias joked and Grayfia was just looking at him with sparkling eyes excitement written on her face
Sirzechs: issei what did you see at Stone Hedge,
Sirzechs brought up the topic that was all on their minds
issei: nothing...
akeno: what do you mean nothing?
Issei: it was just darkness either spreading or consuming me then I was spit back to reality
It didn't help them much they were still In the dark about everything
Issei: hey can I go and talk with Tannin?
Sirzechs: sure go ahead.
He quickly ran outside and took off with a heavy bang shaking the whole house.
Irina: I don't think he thought that through much did he...
Rossweisse: clearly not
With issei
Issei: oh shiiiiiiitttttttt thiiiiiiiiisssssss iiiiiisssss awsoooooom
He was flying even faster than he thought he would and he decided to push it and burst off breaking the sound barrier 4 times and leaving a bang as he took off
Back at the mansion
BANG*
They all heard the sound of the sound barrier breaking
Irina: oh yes most definitely pushing his new flight limits
they all laughed thinking about him having some fun
With issei
He arrived at the dragon territory and when he landed all the dragons went wild almost in attack mode but when they saw him, they calmed down
Tannin: issei what brings you here so suddenly
Issei: before I answer that tell me why you all went crazy a few seconds ago
Issei asked and walked closer and he noticed a few of the younger drakes start to back away from him in fear
tannin: well my friend you have a large amount of magic leaking off you and its very unstable making it hard for the weaker and younger ones to look at you with such a surge of power coming towards us we thought we were under attack
he said and he then sat down and took a breath of relief
issei: oh dang sorry about that, well its why I'm here Ddraig said I'm becoming my own dragon
he could see it on tannins face light up and watched him burst out into cheer and so did the other dragon cheering his name
tannin: issei you don't see how great this is we haven't had a new dragon come into existence in the past 3000 years and you going to be the first have you noticed any changes in your powers?" issei could see tannins excitement "
issei: well I have these lines of fire that appear now and again that just move around my body and I have found that I'm producing fire now and again, and most recently this thing showed up
he showed the mark and all the dragons excitement went away in seconds
issei: guys what's wrong?
tannin: issei how did you get that mark?
tannin asked in a very curious tone
issei: well I went to investigate something at Stone Hedge a day ago and something attacked me I think and I was left with this Ddraig said its doing me better slowly
tannin: issei do you know what that mark means?
There was a very serious tone in his voice
Issei: no I don't, can you tell me
Tannin: yes I can listen up that mark is a curse given by the humans when they discovered magic evil magic shifting matter and reality for their own gain they used that mark to summon demons at one stage as well, in todays times the group has been very quiet almost non existent but being marked by them isn't something that comes easy that is called construct a form of magic that involves mind soul and body to channel magic in such a way that there was a time it was called cursed techniques where the users could manipulate and create devastating creatures that could end time if they did it right, there is a reason its called a cursed techniques, you are different from a normal magic user now you could out power Sirzechs Azazel and Micheal with them alone creating as you see fit but be warned this doesn't happen to just anyone if you come across anyone with these abilities be warned they will kill you and everyone around you
issei was conflicted yes it was helping him but if used incorrectly he could suffer a worse fate and possibly die
issei: then is there a way to use it without the effects of the mark?
he showed determination and a good resolve
tannin: there is the one person that I've had the pleasure of watching use this curse was a sorcerer he, had the queen of the curses a powerful and deadly curse that followed him from the day it was made by accident by him when his best friend died, there was another sorcerer that had the king of curses and that thing was dangerous both useful yes but too dangerous for one person to handle if not able to control that flow you could make monsters of destruction if you don't channel this right
issei: All right, I'll do it thanks for the help tannin
tannin: always good to help a friend in need fair well issei
Issei nodded and flew off back to the mansion at a speed again
tannin: that boy is going to have so many hardships before becoming his own dragon
dragon: sir could you tell what dragon hes going to become?
one of tannins underlings asked
tannin: yes I do and if he gets to that point he's going to become such a powerful dragon with those abilities it's going to be a monstrous mix
Time skip to the next day
Issei: All alright are you girls ready to get going?
issei was dressed in his school uniform and waiting for Irina and Ravel to get ready he saw them come and they had an unusual look on their faces
issei: what's got you both looking like something is going on come on tell me
Irina: no it's a surprise for later tonight I promise it's a surprise
she had the happiest tone he'd ever seen her have Even Ravel was excited for her
issei: (sweatdrop) Normally I'm really happy to see that you both are happy because it's my goal to make sure you are all happy but this is a creepy amount of happy
they just smiled at him, and they left for school, they got into his car and as he turned on the radio they heard on of Issei songs being played
issei: should probably make another love song or something
the girls giggled in agreement once they arrived at school he got out and had a lot of the girls run up to him with no pads or shirts he held up his hand and spoke
issei: Im not here for this im here to learn so next time, please
they all awed in unison and walked away from him
Irina: Hey Issei how are you feeling?
she took his hand while they walked
issei: well, I'm alright actually I feel better but kind of on edge after what I was told
ravel: you probably just need to rest up and properly relax your mind
ravel stated with a grin on her face. Issei rolled his eyes and poked her side causing her to be ticklish and she blushed and ran off
issei: too easy sometimes
he and Irina could hardly manage to hold in their laughs but once they got to class they calmed down issei went to sit down and his old friends came to him with stupid looks on their faces
both(lustful) Hey issei we can you get us girlfriends?
they said in unison the girls of the class looked at them disgusted for the request and thought Issei was going to do it
issei: are you kiddning me ? you have to be joking "
Matsuda: come on man you have the fame now and girls are falling at your feet surely you can spare one for us to even share
He had a disgusting look on his face, everyone was even more shocked by what they asked even Issei
Issei: you clearly don't get sarcasm no I'm not hooking you up with anyone you aren't my friends so why would I even bother to consider helping you?
the class was relived that Issei wasn't going to help them
Motohama: fine we will get a girlfriend with or without your help
He said as they both got up and went to sit in their seats they clearly could be plotting something but who knows what
Katase:"This isn't the same person that used to peep on us he's changed we should apologize to him when we get a chance to talk to him"
Katase thought to her self-looking at issei taking a good stand about how he's going to use his fame
During class, they had a free period to either study or take a break during the period so most of them chose to socialize with each other mainly the girls sitting by Issei and some of the guys
Akia: hey issei what's the name of this song?
akia asked as she took a seat with the now large group
issei: that's a secret and no it's not one song it's 3 in one so no one can either make sense of it or to steal my work
Guy: huh that's smart man, hey can you tell us when you made that song for Irina?
one of the guys in the group asked
issei: I wrote it for her when I woke up at my lowest point and she was there for me when I needed her the most
he kissed her cheek while saying so, she blushed and smiled because it's for her
Excited screaming *
They all looked up and there stood a tallish woman with red and white hair
Uta: what's up guys
she smiled at them and Issei was shocked
issei: (whining) Uta why...
he got up and gave her a hug
Uta: is this the way you greet your friends?
she said while poking his cheek
issei: no it's not but why are you here though you could have called me
he said to her while looking at all the students in the hall looking at them
Uta: oh the guys and I came to visit we want to know if you want to come tour with us
Issei: um and If I don't want to? I do still have school
utas eyes started turning red and they all saw it
Uta: All alright then wize guy you play it like that then sing off whoever gets more cheers from everyone in the school wins, if I win you come with if you win you don't come and I write a song for you
she had a proud smirk on her face and crossed her arms under her chest
issei: fine since the guys are here they know the songs so I don't need to stress about it
They heard running in the halls and then looked to see the principal and some of the staff with the student council and saw Uta talking to Issei
Principle: Mr. hyoudou what is the meaning of this
Issei: oh, senseis and council members, first off its Lucifuge now it's my new family name
Sona: sorry I haven't updated your registration yet
She fixed her glasses a bit keeping eye contact with him
Issei: its alright second my friend Uta here wants me to join her on tour and I want to finish this year's studies so she proposed that we have a sing-off if I win she goes and I win she writes me a song and I stay
the staff was shocked that he would rather stay than go on tour with her the principal then spoke up
Principle: mr Lucifuge will allow you to go but it's your choice and you are permitted to use the gym to perform
Uta smiled
Uta: thanks miss principle"
Issei took a deep breath
issei: fine you want this heat then prepare to be burned
they looked at each other and only grinned
A few minutes later in the gym
Rias: well this is surprising
Rias said to akeno who was also happy to be here
Akeno: I get to see the boy I love to perform this is just lovely
unknown to her someone heard this and got an angry smile on their face
Kiba: yea I know I mean it's one thing for him to just perform but Uta too this is just incredible
saji: Bro you looking better too
saji said coming up to the group with the rest of the student council
Kiba: I am Issei and I am slowly talking again so it's getting better
koneko: issei- kun is treating us almost like normal again"
koneko said with a small smile plastered on her face
xenovia: she's right but we are far from being like it as we don't really still know him
Irina: oh relax I'm sure you'll get there sooner or later
it surprised them that Irina said this they thought that she would be completely against it but wasn't
Rias: (excited) Oh it looks like it's about to start
she might have been just as excited as akeno was Sona and her peerage were surprised to see all of them this excited
Issei and Uta stood on the stage
Issei: hello everyone happy to see you all here this is a challenge between one of my close friends and me Uta here thinks she can outperform me little does she know I'm getting close to her level of followers
Uta quickly took out her phone and looked and saw that he was getting close about 300k away from reaching her 56 million followers across the world
Uta: oh hell no I'm so beating you in this
Issei: right so the way it's going to work since I'm lead guitarist for the band ill be playing the songs but it's same when I perform she will either play or I will most likely help me but since im a gentleman ladies first, we have the principle and two staff members as our judges
They looked at the table and saw the principal with Azazel and Rossweisse sitting at the desk.
They took position and they started
They watched as Issei lip synced the whole song while she sang, they looked at each other and went hard for the song and sang their hearts out When they finished, they looked at the judges
Uta: alright how was that?
the crowd cheered for her she took a bow in front of them
Azazel: well issei between the two lovely ladies next to me we have given her 68 between the 3 of us each of us can only score a maximum of 25 each so you need to get higher than 68 the highest you can get is 75
Azazel said into the microphone and the whole school heard it
Issei: I can get full marks for this one
He brought a stool for her and made her sit on it
Issei: now watch how it's done
he started playing and the guys followed as it started Uta smirked and went to get a mic and went to assist with the song
He played and got the whole crowd going wild for the song especially when he hit the high notes and even surprised Uta that he hit that high note and still managed to sing like this when he finished the song, he took a deep breath and looked at the judges and they were all surprised.
Rossweisse: ise when did you learn to sing like that?
Issei: ah before the first concert when I met Uta we had a contest to see who could hit the high notes I was off by one pitch which was what I used in the beginning why?
Principal: mr Lucifuge that was the whole reason I gave you 25
Issei: oh sweet so how much did I get? Because I didn't think she would start with our scream music
Azazel: kid before we even ask about the scream thing you beat her and got 74
Issei: HA I win but I think I might still go and join you I'm in a different mindset now
she just looked at him and pouted he just started laughing
Rossweisse: um issei what is the screaming thing you are talking about
while she had a chance and the others in the gym were also curious and keeping quiet because they getting leaks live for something big
issei: oh well you see we are producing the music for the new Scream 6 movie and Uta's first song was her song that I wrote because I know the movies and she doesn't so much but wants to hear the other song.
the crowd cheered and the girls all screamed in agreement and the guys sent a mighty cheer for him
issei: All alright here it is
Both of them sang well and got the whole school excited about the music
Issei: right that's it from us don't want to spoil too much yea thanks everyone
The student council and Rias peerage went to the orc room where they found Uta and Issei drinking a lot of water and talking about something
Issei:Oh hey guys what's up
They walked in but looked abit confused
Asia: um don't you want to see the other band members off? They leaving right now
Uta: nah they said they need to go quickly they have a recording session and Issei isn't fully on the album kind of
Issei: no I am in and on the album, it's just they are making a song dedicated to the member they lost Patrick, anyways how goes it?
Rias: well we just wanted to see you are all
Rias said as she walked over to her desk and looked at them
Uta: dude what is it with you and being surrounded by girls all the time?
Issei: says the fallen put some pants on then maybe we can talk
it was like a glass broke and put everyone into shock
Uta: oi we said don't call me that you know im not
she whined hitting his arm repeatedly and Issei laughed
issei: well you have the Gremory and Leviathan clan in here right now rias and Sona are the dangerous ones
she plaed and looked at the two of them
sona:"Relax, I figured you were supernatural by your eyes changing colour, but what are you
sona stated and walked closer to her
rias: we are the town's protectors so we won't do anything unless you do something you shouldn't
Uta: fine wont need to worry about me ill be good, and I don't want to say what I am
Both Rias and Sona nodded
Irina:(concerned) So you going on tour so soon again
he looked at Irina and saw a worried and concerned look on her face he could see she was worried
issei: babe don't worry about it, it's going to be alright
Uta looked at him confused
Uta: What is she worried about?
Issei: just my mental health and all
Rossweisse: and your well-being we do believe you could be making yourself a bigger target
Issei: fair I'll make a plan but for now let's not really think about it
Ravel: you better have a plan
They all nodded in agreement, the day was spent with Uta hanging out with them and Issei and her working on a few songs together
