Chapter 6: Father.
"There has to be someone else who can train me. Come on." Issei begged. He wasn't going to get stronger if he couldn't use the powers of his clan.
"I'm sorry but no." Sirzechs stated.
"So what you're saying is I wasted my time, you cheated me. You said…."Issei said getting a angry.
"I know what I said, and I keep my promises. Just because your father is doesn't mean he can't still teach you. Unlike the humans and angels who when they die they go start a new life in a new world be it, heaven, purgatory or earth again for the angels. Us devils get to stay being devils for a second life time, when we die we go deeper into the underworld. A place known as the dumping ground. It is filled with war and death. It's pretty empty seen as devils are always killing each other down there." Sirzechs said.
"How does that help me." Issei spat.
"Well i promised to help you learn more about your devil magic and i always keep my promise. You see as demon king I control all the underworld including the dumping ground. I'm the only one with access. I can give this too but of course it came at a price." Sirzechs.
"The deaths of Raynare and her fallen." Issei declared.
"Yes and now they are gone Azexel can move in and claim the territory. As for you. Take this."
"What is it." Issei asked taking a small black compass from Sirzechs.
"It's a mini portal. It will give you limited access to the dumping ground. Don't worry it got your father's location pinpointed." Sirzechs smiled.
"Thank you. But you do realise that's us done, no more contracts." Issei stated.
"I know, your Rias' pawn now. Oh before I forget. For your second reward I reopened your father's bank and all his funds have been replace. The name of course went to his heir...being you. I believe it called being set for life." Sirzechs then handed Issei a blue orb. Issei touched the orb and a light shined in his eyes showing him all the gold in the vault that belonged to him.
"Thank you… If you don't mind I'll be going now...and lord lucifer. Thank you for everything." Issei then left before SIrzechs could say anything else.
"No problem…..Brother." Sirzechs said with a smile.
/Dumping ground./
Issei walked out of a portal and walked forwards. The dumping grounds were just that….It was a dump. There was no structure, just chaos. Rubble and death everywhere. As issei walked he saw a tall well built man standing on a edge of cliff away from the chaos behind him. The man had long brown hair like Issei and Issei knew straight away who this was but he had to check. "Rathiel Hyoudou?"
"Yes that's me and no i won't help you in your fight I don't feel like dying again." Rathiel said in a deep cold voice.
"I'm not here about that...My name is Issei….Issei hyoudou...I'm your" Issei was nervous but Rathiel turned round to look at Issei. Rathiel's eyes were sea green and his face was calm and relaxed unlike his voice but his eyes looked like they were piecing your very being.
"My son." Rathiel eyes began to water and the old man ran toward Issei lifting him off the floor with a bear hug. Issei could feel his ribs crushing.
"Sorry dad but I don't feel like dying today either." Issei said jokingly.
"Oh yeah sorry. It just I missed you, It's been what 6-7 years since….you know." Rathiel said but regretted it when he saw Issei pain. "Son I'm sorry. I did mean to upset you."
Issei shook his head. "NO it's fine. It's been a long 11 years, all I've done is train and get strong. Me and Ddraig have got revenge. Nothing else to kill me. Well other than Raiser."
"11 years. Fuck….Issei…..I." Rathiel was at a loss for words. Finding his son has gone 11 years without anyone to call family broke his heart.
"Dad serious it fine, plus I met someone." Issei said with a blush thinking about Rias.
His dad then grow a pervert smile. "Oh really, what her name."
"Rias Gremory."
"Wait thy Rias gremory sister to Sirzechs….well done son." Rathiel said with a booming laugh.
"Yeah and that's not all. I'm also the red dragon emperor, or getting there. My balance break isn't strong enough yet. Which is why I'm here. I need the dragon clans devil magic. You're the only one who can teach me."
"Well, well, well my son. The red dragon emperor, I'll be honoured to teach you, but know this. I'm your teacher not your father I won't go easy on you." Rathiel said with a cold look.
Issei smirked. "Fine with me."
"Good let's go." Rathiel said jumping off the cliff. He used his wings to glide into a nearby cave.
"Um dad I can't fly." Issei stated.
"Didn't Sirzech teach you anything. Get out your wings and just glide boy."
Issei gulped and did what he was told. He got out his wings and jumped. The winds allowed him to land next to his father. "Well done you have passed the first test hatchling. Now come. "
Issei father led Issei into a open area of the cave. He then sat cross legged in the middle of the opening. Issei join his father. "Close your eyes." Rathiel demanded. Issei did as he was told and waited for his next intrusion.
"In order to learn the magic of our clan you must first understand the 3 strengths of a dragon; It's fire, It's voice and its wraith." Raithel then took in a deep as if he was calming himself. "All three must work as one. Fire for the attack and defense. Voice to send fear into your opponent and increase your senses. wraith to increase it speed and strength."
"What happens if the dragon is out of balance." Issei asked.
"Then the dragon is nothing more than a lizard. Too much fire and you get burnt, our scales may be fire resistant but our insides are not. Too much voice and you lose your senses, with out our sight, smell and hearing we can't react. Too much wraith and you lose control, you seek nothing but destruction." Rathiel then opened his eyes to look at his son. "You have too much wraith. Your anger toward the fallen ones has made you lose your voice and weaken your fire."
Issei was taken back by this. "The help me father."
"For a dragon to be fixed it must be first broke down. I'm sorry my son but this won't be pleasant." Issei father then began to chant. Issei felt his body weak and his power be taken away. The more power that was taken the weaker he got it started to hurt and then it was torture but Issei didn't scream out he just gritted his teeth and beared with it.
Rathiel stopped chanting and Issei let out a breath. He opened his eyes and saw a red orb with 8 pawn pieces deep within it. Ddraig was gone as well. Issei felt empty as if his everything was taken but then Rias entered his head. Her face along gave him the strength he needed. Issei stood up and faced his father. "What's next."
"Impressive, when my father did that to me I feinted and slept for a week. OK next we train. We rebuild you. We will know when you are fixed when this orb re-enters you." Raithel then charged at Issei, Issei was slower but was able to block it...his training had began.
/Rias./
Issei wasn't the only one training. After being shown up but Issei Rias decided to hardcore training was needed so her and her peerage left for some distant mountains to train. Kiba was to practise his magic so he didn't reply on his sword more than his own skill as a devil. Koneko was to train her defense. As much as a heavy hitter she was a good defense was a good offense. Asia was to learn everything about her new world. Akeno was stuck in the study learning new techniques and combinations of spells she could use. Rias decided to train her body in general. Strengthening her mind with knowledge. Training muscles in the gym and then the destructive magic at the top of the mountain.
After a long few days train before everyone went to bed the gang decided to play a game. They played this game often and it was alway a laugh. It was a game known as truth or dare. The darer would spin a bottle to find their target as them truth or dare and then either ask question of the darers choice or a dare.
"Ok seeing as I'm king I'll spin first." Rias said as she spun the bottle. The bottle landed on Asia. "alright Asia truth or dare."
"Truth." Asia said to scared to have to do something unwise.
"How long have you believed in the power of god." Rias asked.
"My whole life or as long as I can remember, I was orphaned there and I was raised by the turn even when they kicked me out I still believed in God's power." Asia answered before spinning the bottle. It landed on koneko. "Truth or dare Koneko."
"Dare." Koneko replied emotionless.
"Ok um. Kiss Rias foot. Just a smile peck." Rias stuck her foot up in response. Koneko shrugged her shoulder before kissing Rias big toe.
Koneko then spun the bottle and it landed on Kiba. "Truth or dare."
"Dare why not." Kiba replied.
Koneko pointed to the Kitchen. "Go make out with Akeno."
Kiba went bright red before being dragged off by Akeno. They returned both with red face and breath heavily 5 minutes later. Kiba spun the bottle before it landed on Akeno. "Truth or dare."
"Truth."
"Do you have a crush on anyone." Kiba asked.
"No. but there a lot of people I would like to punish, you being one of them prince of school." Akeno said seductively.
"Another time perhaps. Now spin." Kiba replied his face now redder.
"OK" Akeno spun the bottle and it landed on Rias. "So Rias….If you had to marry any man you ever known who would it be."
Rias smiled and Issei popped into her head and she said his name way to quickly.
"My, my Rias hope you're willing to share because he's another person I wish to punish." Akeno said licking her lips.
"Not a chance." Rias spat before shaking her head and spinning the bottle.
An hour later the game was at an end and no one got out of cleanly. Both Asia and Kiba were topless. Rias and Akeno were left in their underwear and Koneko had made out with every member of the peerage at least twice and the number of secret that had been reviled we made everyone shiver.
Everyone then went to bed to escape the awkwardness. Once Rias was in bed all she could think about was Issei and how he just left her. Her thoughts then turned to Raiser she was meant to marry in a month and half but it was a month until the engagement party. After some time she managed to sleep, she dreamed about Issei crashing the party and saving her from a life with Raiser.
A/N and that was the end of that. Have to be honest the truth or dare part was the most fun to write. Also i have 2 request. The first is a challenge.
