They all stood infornt of Issei who had a few cuts on him from them all
Issei:(tired) Well done all of you we can go ahead to the next demon
They all nodded and fell over completely tired
Issei went to the hot springs and was joined by akeno, Irina, Rossweisse, ravel, koruka and Rias, with Natsume, Lavinia, and Shigune of Team Shlash Dog
He sat with a towel covering his eyes looking up the way he sat they could see all the cuts, burns damage and even where broken bones shot through his skin
Natsume(excited) this is nicer than I thought
Akeno: you one of his fans?
She nodded in excitement
Ravel: what about you two?
Lavinia: I have respect for him but I never really got into his fan base
Shigune: same with me, Natsume on the other hand is a complete fan girl
Rias: well you meeting him in the flesh now
Natsume: (happy) I know and trained me too, now I get to share a bath with him
Ravel: can't blame you it is nice
Issei: hmmmm
Natsume: (smiling) What does he like at home?
Issei: I haven't been home in like 3 years pushing 4 now...
They could see something was bothering him, but couldn't tell what it was
Lavina: is he okay?
Akeno: hes fine I think hes just planning something
Natsume: girls tell me something What is this mark on your necks?
Rosseweisse: oh we have been marked by Issei
Koruka: hmmm even though nothing has happened yet we have officially become mates of his
Lavina: wow that's hectic
Akeno: hmmm but it's a nice feeling
She cuddled up to him and rested her head on his chest and he wrapped his arm around her but he didn't move much
Shigune: how does this even work, if you don't mind us asking
Irina: oh it's simple issei can absorb people into his gear like he did to Vail's gear and then he can use our power and skills to his heart's content but the drawback is that whoever he absorbs is marked by him and becomes obsessed with him and only want to be with him so hes only picked a few people to absorb and we are all sitting here
Rias: it's an interesting method if you ask me what it like inside the gear.
Ravel: better than my family home or yours smaller sure but it's supper nice we can watch what he sees like a movie and we sit back and relax
koruka: that's true and the stories about Ddraig being is an understatement, ddriag is a very massive
Akeno: ember and jewls are also very big *giggles*
They looked at Issei and saw two sets of eyes come out of the isseis chest and they came out for longer
Ravel: are you more comfortable with us now
Ember: I suppose that's the right
Jewls: hmmm
Akneo: I have a question for both of you
Both: Sure
Akeno: what was the initial reason you trust Issei? From what we know you are all super dangerous creatures to encounter
Ember: well when I was born or formed im not sure I just remember waking up one night during a rainy night and I found Issei he was so weak a feeble at the time that I didn't see him a threat so I willingly attached my self to him and as he grew up from the moments I was awake he was either very kind helpful and very caring which changed my view of you creatures such as devils angels fallen angels and humans but another thing that I don't want to change is that even though issei is nice I still don't like others
Jewls: im the same, with all my experience with people they poked and experimented on me and turned me into a battery but hes different he lets me do as I please without hassle and I like ophis she enjoys them quite like I do
Rias: but why you can see we aren't bad
Ember: you say that now but ive been here the whole time jewls only recently saw the memories and theres a lot of memories of you rias and even Irina then slowly the others came into the picture
Rias: why of me?
Ember: that's for him to say but we know everything and we agree with him coming back early was a mistake you even lost some friends when he came back which is why he wanted to stay away
Irina: (sad) Hmmm I put it aside but I miss Asia and xenovia a lot
Koruka: (sad) mmm and my sister
Rias: Even Kiba and Gasper, I miss them dearly...
Jewls: why do you think the demon was hurt the way it was when you all came he took his frustrations out on it revived it 4 times and made sure each time he killed it it was even more painful the demon was sentient it understood people
Ember: let's not forget Rika feeds off his anger and bad thoughts and since she makes him stronger hes boosts himself
Ravel: whos rika?
They watched as large hands came out of his chest and then a scary monster came out and looked down at them
Rika(shy) oh my why wasn't I told he was in the bath
She went to get a towel and wrapped herself in it
Rias: if you don't mind us asking what are you?
Rika: im the queen of curses a power-cursed spirit that is attached to Issei
Ravel: you talk and act like a human though it is weird
Rika: I was a human I died when I was 11 and the love of my life unintentionally turned me into this and ive gotten stronger but when he died years ago he placed me in Stonehegde to keep me safe but then Issei found me and hes so much like yuta Ill protect him better
She came and started playing with his hair giggling like a little girl
Irina: wait so you were human turned into this
Rika: yup
She slowly started turning into her human form shocking all of them and smiled
Rika:(toung out) Don't make fun of me
Rossweisse: weirdly, we were scared of you all this time and you're such a nice girl deep down
Ember: first time im seen this
Jewls: same
Rika: but jewels what are you going to do after you are done helping us?
They looked at the ball of lighting
Jewels: eh I don't know probably stick around for a bit and have some different adventures
They all kept thinking about what Issei did as much as he told them to put their emotions aside he used his anger and frustrations to deal with the beast and kill it multiple times
rias: issei...
akeno fell asleep girls he needed a break
She moved him and let him rest on her bust
Ember: hes still angry about being killed and even more so that he was hurt it's just hard to forget even when he wants to hes more mentally tired than physically I want to say take it easy on him his soul is still just as soft and kind-hearted but with the recreation of his core its going to be a while till he really like he was, plus I don't think we can save him a second time its too soon
Rias: what are you saying
Ember: It been too soon to save his soul again even jewls agree most of us can enter the spirit plane maybe once or twice at best but I saved both their souls on top of taking them to Great Red so if he dies or gets seriously injured again then I don't think hes coming back
Jewls: I happen to like him the way he thinks is one that I find remarkable but Ember is right even with my help we are doubtful that he would be able to make a comeback
The girls sat in relative silence thinking about how bad the situation was and can get
Rias: then we won't let it happen we will be there to carry the burden for him he won't be facing anything alone
They all nodded
The next day issei sat with Sirzechs Azazel and serafall talking about their attack and how they wanted to proceed
Issei: so you go here and I'll take this side and we will be able to hold a front
Azazel: and the number of dragons?
Issei: im a king they underlings'll kill or make their leader submit and then they will be on our side
Serafall: that's good and all but the amount of other devils is concerning me the most
Issei: don't stress you all got a power boost and if another demon comes out don't worry about it ill handle the demon and with the help of vali
They nodded in agreement
Sirzechs: ise are you sure we can handle this? I don't want to lose anyone more
He nodded and smiled
Issei; positive now let go
They called the others and filled them in on the plan and how to proceed and Issei explained that there is a bigger entity called 666 and it is what the demons are trying to release and that hes going to handle it
They all nodded and they made a magic portal to the location where they found it
Issei: so you're telling me all this time it's been sitting here
Sirzechs: that's right ajuka managed to find the records of its exact location so we can seal it back here
As they walked to a rail of the large empty damn they saw a massive orb in the centre of it it was the holding cell of 666
Issei: huh smaller than what ive seen of it so far this should be relatively easier for me
They watched a huge explosion hit the orb and saw Rizevim with his army behind him both issei and vali charged into their line of sight showing they were here and set off a huge explosion pushing the army away
Issei used his dragon breath and vali used his move similr to Isseis and the moved combined and made the explosion the others all jumped down and started the fight
The dragons attacked them and all came issei stood in front of another dragon-like figure leading them
Issei: so who might you be?
???: Crom Cruach and you must be the former red dragon emperor and now the fire dragon of hell
Issei: that's right
Crom: FINALLY A WORTHY OPPONENT, our battle is going to be legendary
All the other dragons stopped what they were doing which confused the others and felt the magic power signature from issei rising
The 2 stood ready to fight scales growing on their bodies and their power slowly started radiating alerting both sides to run back
They started clashing causing shock waves but with each clash none of them noticed the cracks starting to form on the orb
The wind started to grow wild and the magic power started to make everyone buckle with the power and no one could run away they could only watch in fear of two dragons clashing and changing the environment around for ever-changing its competition issei hit him in his chest and sent him flying then used his lighting to fully shock the the life out of Crom his body laid on the ground issei took his sword and struck him down making sure he was dead
The dragons all looked down and bowed to him issei let off a roar and then turned to Rizevim
Issei:(angry) kill him
The dragons all started chasing him and started ripping him to shreds vali came closer to watch the carnage of his death
Vali: thank you issei
Issei: whatever
They looked at the orb and how it started cracking more and more
Issei: hold tight!
The orb shattered and the sky turned red and vines spread rapidly around them holding them down to the ground
Sirzehcs: so this Is the Legnerdy monster 666...
They watched as it climbed out of the old barrier and then looked at the things it caught
666: an angle with some fallen and a handful of devils and even dragons...
It raised its hand and then started drawing power from them they could feel their strength leaving their bodies
Issei on the other hand started glowing more and more vali slowly started doing the same thing they all looked at the red and white lights starting to become brighter and brighter
They both broke out of the vines and let off terrifying dragon sketches which made the others break out and fly away
Rias(confused) why are they leaving?
Akeno: I think we about to find an outlook
They watched Issei catch a full flame and then turn into his dragon vali on the other hand started to scream in pain as his body slowly started turning into a dragon his wings burst out of his back revealing large pale wings that looked like they started to decay away he then screamed again and he fully turned into his dragon and it looked similar to isseis
They looked at each other and then took off into the air flying and leaving behind a red or blue trail and it started making a vortex around 666
666: pity you think this attack can stop me?
They started speeding up and then a lighting blast with a fire blast hit 666 making it look at the people that hit it both akeno and Ravel stood with fire and lighting shooting off their bodies with a small face coming out of their chests
They then let off bigger attacks and distracted it long enough for Issei and vali to hit it with a finishing blow
White light spread around all of them as they were pushed away
As the light went away those who were still wrapped got up and started looking around
Rias: ISSEI!
Her scream alerted everyone they came running and saw Issei and vali covered in blood on the floor in the epicentre
Time skip to later
Issei was sitting in his mind talking to Ddraig
Issei: so the power to kill a god isn't something I should others?
Ddraig: no... it's a reason why it was kept secret for so long
Issei: I have a question man do you know what valis dragon was?
Ddraig: the spectral dragon of the underworld... a rare and old dragon that was killed many many eons ago then was resurrected and was turned the spectral dragon because of its skin and raw bone features similar to yours but it's a boost for him wouldn't be a worrying thing for you
Issei: cool so... how long have I been out?
Ddraig: a few days that move took all your energy and power and an arm...
Issei: huh no wonder It feels numb
Ddriag: hmmm well your body is slowly waking up then friend maybe you can grow it back you're a dragon after all
Issei: hey what do I do now?
Ddraig: live life you became a dragon god you have an army of dragons taking orders from vali because hes the closest next best thing ophis and Lilith ordered them to talk to him
Issei: huh so it's over
Ddraig: hmmm now im going to ask you one last time what are you going to do about the redhead?
Issei: huh?
