Chapter 4: Reunion with Old Flames

"So this is Issei's hometown? It has a nice homely feeling to it, like our home back at Earthland." Erza Scarlet said as she looked at the town coming in the distance.

"Indeed. The town isn't as large as our home in Earthland, but it seems to be a comfortable place, similar to where Issei said he grew up." Brandish said. The Nation Destroyer was amazed by the small town the Red Dragon Emperor grew up in before the two entered the town and drew a lot of attention to themselves due to their attire since it's not every day you see a person dress up as a knight and a woman who literally looks like she from a night club before Brandish begins to notice the people staring at them.

"We won't be able to get anywhere finding Issei. I wish it were easy to track him like back in Earthland." Brandish said as Erza's eyes widened before recalling her strategy when lost.

"Of course. I know how to find Issei!" Ezra shouted as she then ran towards a random student and grabbed them by the shirt.

"The Hyoudou Household. Where is it?"

"W-What?"

BONK!

"You there!" Ezra shouted, and the knocked-out schoolgirl companion shivered in fear. Brandish sighed, knowing Erza's way of asking directions would have the opposite effect.

"Ezra. That isn't going to work. It didn't work back in Earthland, so why would it work here?" Brandish asked as Erza continued to knock out a few more until a voice stopped her.

"You're looking for Issei, right?" Azazel asked, recognizing the women from the stories Issei told him about when the Governor asked about the other world the Dragon Emperors were in for the training.

"Of course. Thank you for being so helpful, good sir." Erza said while Brandish narrowed her eyes at Azazel before walking towards him with a questioning look as she stopped in front of him. Azazel was amazed by the green-haired girl's beauty until Brandish asked a question that caught him off guard.

"Your Issei's grandfather, right? The perverted old man who hasn't had a date in years?" Brandish asked, hitting Azazel right in the heart with her question before the Fallen Governor stiffly nodded, a bit of blood leaving his mouth from the critical hit.

"Y-Yes. And you must be Brandish and Erza Scarlet, correct?" Azazel asked, knowing that the two were definitely the same people that Issei described.

"Brandish is a nice woman who's blunt when it comes to asking questions about a person, so be prepared for a critical hit to the heart. Erza, on the other hand, is sociable, but she has quirks that make her a riot, such as the time when she asked for directions from passengers."

'Issei definitely wasn't wrong when describing them, although I'm surprised they didn't bother changing clothes since one can equip clothes and the other is a Queen, right?' Azazel asked himself before Erza clasped Azazel's hands and replied to his earlier question.

"Yes! Take us to him, please. I wish to be reunited with my husband!" Ezra declared with no shame, and Brandish sighed at Erza's lack of tact when speaking.

"What my idiot friend here is saying is that we're looking for Issei since we wish to reunite with him. Can you please take us to him?" Brandish asked with her innocent face, which made Azazel blush at the sight before dumbly nodding his head.

"O-Of course. Follow me." Azazel said, giggling to himself as he kept that memory locked up in his mind while Brandish smiled to herself, proud to use the technique Lucy taught her to good use.

'Plus, it was how I was able to get Issei into bed with me, along with Ezra. Man, it was a wonderful night.' Brandish said in her mind while her left hand rubbed her bosom, recalling the mark that her lover and partner placed on her after they made love that night under the moonlight in their bed.

Erza saw what Brandish was doing and blushed so much her face almost became the same color as her hair, recalling the night she felt her pride was damaged but loved when Issei and Brandish were showering her in so much love she became putty in both of their hands. Ezra didn't walk well after that night, but she felt so happy that she ignored anyone asking her questions about that night while enjoying her strawberry cake that day.

Brandish saw Erza reminiscing and smiled to herself as she let Erza catch up to them before Brandish decided to tease Erza by smacking her rear. This caused Erza to yell, which she then yelled at Brandish, who was smirking at the scarlet-faced knight.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"I'm just seeing how juicy your cake is since I'm thinking of a wonderful treat for Issei after we reunite with him. Maybe we can ask him to help with frosting it. Would you like that, Ezra? Or maybe double-layered?" Brandish asked as she pepper-kissed Ezra's neck, making the knight struggle to stand. She felt her weak spot being hit by the perverted girl awakened her darker side when Issei and Brandish became very close.

Issei may have been a pervert at first and controlled his urges now, but Brandish was a closet sadist who loved to play with Erza when it came to teasing her. Issei teased her a bit, too, just for fun's sake, but when the two were working together to gang up on her then, Erza stood no chance as she was weak to the flirtations and affection that came with their teasing.

"Y-Yes." Ezra moaned, feeling very weak under the Nation Destroyer's kisses, hitting her sensitive spot until Azazel broke the mood.

"Uh, excuse me, but we're here," Azazel said, making Brandish pout but give in as she left Erza alone, who was silently thanking the Governor for saving her from Brandish's teasing for now. If there was one thing Erza knew about Brandish, it was that she loved to conquer and defeat those she loved in the sack, and the only one who defeated her was Issei Hyoudou himself.

"Wonderful! I appreciate your help," Brandish said with a smile, although Ezra knew the pervert was secretly enjoying teasing Her and weakening her with her evil magic.

Azazel then knocked on the door of the mansion, which still shocked Erza, except for Brandish, since she was used to seeing large mansions back in Earthland. The door was then opened by Issei Hyoudou, who was dressed up in a kimono before his eyes widened as he saw Brandish smiling at him while Erza ran past the two and hugged Issei so hard his back popped, but the redhead knight seemed to be happy.

"It's really you. In the flesh." Ezra said with happy tears before kissing Issei's lips, shocking Issei before he reciprocated the kiss and wrapped his arms around Erza's waist, bringing them closer until the kiss ended with the two looking at each other with happiness in their eyes as if they were lovers being reunited.

"Hello, my Crimson Knight."

"Hello, my Crimson King."

The two smiled at the nicknames they had made for each other since back at Fairy Tail, even before they dated. Issei teased Erza with the nickname Crimson Knight after they worked together on so many missions, while Erza gave Issei the nickname Crimson King after he took charge on many missions, which earned her respect and love.

"And is that our lover behind you as well, my knight?" Issei asked, smirking at Brandish before Erza moaned at the thought of recreating that night, making her blush heavily. It also didn't help that Brandish smiled like a Cheshire Cat that got the cream.

"Oh, I don't know, Issei. I think Erza might've gained some more junk in the trunk after she binged on her sweets when you and Vali left." Brandish said, making Erza embarrassed by the comment since it was true that Issei made sure Erza didn't eat too many sweets since the knight had a weakness for any sweet that had strawberries on it.

"Oh, then we might have to do some workout sessions with her again, like last time." Issei said, making Erza blush as she recalled their 'workout' that surprisingly helped her lose the fat on her stomach, but her butt had become very popular with her lovers smacking it a lot.

"C- Can we please not do this in public?!" Erza said, hoping to salvage what pride she had left before Issei and Brandish laughed as they stopped their teasing.

"Okay, okay. You win," Issei said before kissing her cheek and cupping the other side with a smile on his lips. "For now, that is."

Azazel stifled his laugh as he wished he had his phone to record this before Issei invited the trio inside the mansion, which was an amazing sight for the Gremory Peerage, except Ravel, who seemed to have her wings out and blush at the idea of getting in between Issei and the other girls to have an orgy.

After the wedding, Issei and Ravel became one on their honeymoon. Still, their honeymoon unlocked Ravel's perverted side that was only for the sheets since she loved the idea of having another girl in the sack since she loved the idea of dominating them. At the same time, Issei rammed them from behind, causing Ravel to get so heated up that her flames ignited to respond to her imagination.

"So this is the yummy Knight you told me about along with Brandish?" Ravel asked, with Issei nodding while Brandish smiled at Ravel, who knew that Ravel was like her in that way.

"Pleasure to meet you, Miss Phoenix. Sorry for missing the wedding."

"Oh, it is fine, Miss Brandish. I'm sure Issei and I can give you the play-by-play tonight when it's just the four of us." Ravel said as she used her wings to bring Issei close to her before Issei stopped her.

"Calm down, my Phoenix Queen. Business first before pleasure," Issei said, with Ravel pouting a bit but not minding since she could be professional before indulging in her nightly activities with her husband.

"Of course, my love," Ravel said before looking at both Brandish and Erza as she then curtsied to introduce herself. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you both. My name is Ravel Phoenix Hyoudou. Bishop of Issei Hyoudou, my king, and his wife."

Brandish smiled at the introduction before responding. "And I am Brandish μ, the Nation Destroyer."

"And I am Erza Scarlet. It's an honor to meet you all finally. Issei and Vali told us a lot about this world when they were back in Earthland with us." Erza said before Issei smiled at her and sat on the couch with Ravel on his lap while Brandish μ and Ezra sat on his left and right side, with Brandish being comfortable with this before Rias and the others sat across from the four and asked Issei since he would give them the best answers

"So, are you dating them both, or are you friends?" Azazel asked and responded with Issei smiling.

"Dating. I was hoping that one day I would be able to go back in between worlds to be with them, but I was afraid since we were told it was risky going back to another world, so Vali and I said our goodbyes, not knowing if we would ever see them again, which begs the question. How are you both here? We thought after the war there would be many people who needed help." Issei asked before Erza took over the response to the question.

"After taking care of the damage and body count when the war ended, Brandish and I tried to move on, but it wasn't easy since you and Vali made such a deep impact on all our lives, especially since I really wished to marry you in Earthland but the fact that you and Vali would have to return scared me from making that decision, so I bit my tongue and held the question in my heart."

"But that still didn't explain how you both got to my world."

"That was actually due to a certain Moon Dragon learning how to open a portal between our worlds."

"There's more to it than that, isn't there?"

Brandish sighed as she took over the conversation. "The Moon Dragon told us that should we go to your world, we wouldn't be able to return since it would've been risky, even though you and Vali had to wait for a chance to return home."

"But what about Fairy Tail and your friends? Surely you didn't leave without saying goodbye." Issei asked before Erza hugged Issei and kissed his lips quickly. She then placed her head on his left shoulder.

"Issei, you must understand that while it did hurt leaving them after we said our goodbyes, my heart was happy since I wanted to be with you and fight by your side in not just the war back home but also be your wife. That's why I made a promise to myself that I would have no regrets or hesitate in doing this," Ezra said as she got on one knee and pulled out a ring before speaking to him.

"Issei Hyoudou, will you marry me and make me the happiest woman in the world?" Ezra asked before Issei recalled seeing that ring at a festival the two attended during their vacation days.

"Only if you're willing to accept me and my quirks too."

"Heh. Well, someone has to make sure you don't get into trouble."

Issei and Erza laughed and looked at each other with love. Issei nodded and pulled out a ring that matched the one Erza had. They placed the rings on each other, making Azazel cry. At the same time, Brandish smiled at Erza, finally saying the question that had been in her heart.

"And now we must begin the marriage in bed!" Erza said, with Rias stopping them.

"H-Hold on! What do you mean marriage in bed?! Shouldn't there be a ceremony or something?"

"Oh, we'll take a different approach to Dragon Law since if a couple wishes to be married, then they must mark each other while becoming one. It's a ritual to make sure that no other dragon tries to steal their lover who holds their heart." Issei said as he recalled the Dragon Law in Earthland and saw the similarities between it and the Dragon Law in his world.

"He's not wrong. Vali told me the same thing when he read about it when learning more about dragons. Plus, Ravel has her mark but doesn't show it unless Issei's around, right?" Azazel asked, with Ravel smirking at Azazel before tapping her nose and her bust.

"No peeking," Ravel said with a teasing look in her eyes while Issei wrapped an arm around her protectively, making Brandish smile at this side of her lover.

"And since you're here, I actually wanted to ask you two something important, but that'll be for a later time. However, I know you two didn't come alone since Ezra's terrible sense of direction while Brandish was unaware of the world, so who came with you?" Issei asked.

"Oh, Vali's girlfriend and librarian. The two went to Vali, where he's probably getting a lap pillow from Dimaria while Ultear is fascinated with new knowledge in another world. She's always been a sucker for libraries." Brandish said, recalling the librarian and how she got stuck reading for hours, forgetting to eat and sleep until Vali coaxed her to bed to rest and eat, along with socializing with others.

"Heh. I'm so going to tease Vali when I see those two again." Issei said while Brandish giggled at the image since she recalled Issei and Vali's bromance back in Earthland before she looked at Ravel and asked.

"So, do Issei and Vali still act like they are married?"

"Oh yeah. Issei and Vali's bromance is strong and definitely wholesome, that's for sure." Ravel said, knowing that Ravel was sort of Issei's brother/second wife, which led to Azazel and Kuroka laughing their ass off while Vali groaned at the title but didn't deny it, making them laugh even harder.

"Okay, okay. We can tease Vali later, but there must've been another reason, isn't there?" Issei asked, making Brandish sigh before nodding his head.

"You are correct. Ultear, Selene, and Carla see a vision that there is dangerous magic in your world. For you to see, the magic that they see is more demonic than the ones that Zeref made when he used his magic. The magic in your world is far darker than Zeref's power and the demons we face. It is on par with Acnologia."

Brandish explained as Issei's eyes widened before recalling what Asia told him about the magic that Cao Cao was seeking before he became some demon.

"Tell me, does this magic happen to come from a book?"

"Yes."

"What else happened in the vision?"

"...Armageddon. Barely any survivors."

Issei clenched his fists at the description of the vision before speaking to her. "Alright then. Next time I see Cao Cao, I'll do what I should've done when I saw him last time."

"And what might that be?" Brandish asked.

"Kill him," Issei said. Brandish could tell that Issei was serious about this since, from what she was told about Cao Cao, the man was a narcissist who believed he was a hero to save the world, but all the 'hero' did was kill more and more innocent people actually trying to save anyone.

"And that's why we're here. To help you end this nightmare before the vision becomes true." Erza said this time as she wished to protect her future with Issei at her side, making him smile at the thought of working with his comrades again

"Alright then. We'll have to meet up with Vali at the festival this weekend. Plus, that'll be a good chance for you both to get to know the town and meet Yasaka and sweet little Kunou. Kunou is a lot like Wendy, given her personality and how she tries to act mature but is a cute little cinnamon roll." Issei said in joy, as he couldn't wait to introduce both Brandish and Erza to Kunou since the former was a fan of cute things, while Erza liked kids, especially after spending a lot of time with Wendy.

'Although I do hope Vali's doing okay once he hears the news.' Issei said, not noticing the absence of a certain nun and knight before a blue blur left the room without being seen, heading back to its master.

"So you mean to tell me that magic from Earthland ended up here? How?" Vali asked while resting his head on Dimaria's lap, who smiled at the fact she beat Vali's ass again.

Ultear nodded in response before explaining to him, "I believe that when you and Issei returned to your world, there was still a rift between our worlds, leading us to believe that the magic that this Cao Cao found must've come from the rift and somehow ended up in Hell all this time. Luckily, we're here to help and warn your comrades of the dangers of this magic."

"I'm glad to see you both again, and I would love to tell them, but I wish to properly introduce you to the team since I have missed you both. Truly, I have." Vali said, making Dimaria smirk at Vali before replying to him.

"Well, why don't we have some fun with the cat and make her our little pussy cat?" Dimaria said before receiving a light tap on her forehead from Vali, narrowing his eyes at her.

"I wish to build a relationship with her naturally instead of just sex."

"That's rich since you and Ultear were married twice since you two had so much fun in that time dimension fucking each other like rabbits in hear," Dimaria said, causing Ultear and Vali to blush since they had done the deed. Still, the God Soul user was a cheeky girl like Brandish who loved to tease her lovers in the sack.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about." Ultear stammered, trying not to recall the love they shared in that timeless dimension when the two gave each other their first time, and swore not to tell the cheeky Amazon since she wanted to get in on the fun as well.

Kuroka, on the sidelines, was deeply amused by this as she ate some popcorn while Bikou cried tears of joy for his friend finally getting laid. Arthur was fanning Le Fay due to the poor girl passing out as the image of Vali actually having sex with a woman and the words Dimaria used made her imagination run wild.

Albion laughed his ass off in the Divine Dividing Gear while being amused by Vali wanting to not confess to the God Soul user's relentless teasing since Albion was grateful for Issei helping Vali open up to others. In contrast, Vali helped Issei become more of a warrior and dragon.

[Oh, if only Issei were here. He would give you a thumbs up and continue to mess with you as well, but don't worry—I won't tell your work husband.]

'Issei is not my work husband!'

[Oh, please. You two have such a bromance that the girls of your harem actually thought you wanted to ask him out back in Earthland until you said you were both into women. Though I do believe that pretty boy almost tricked you.]

"Do not bring that embarrassing moment back, please. I still get the urge to throw up when that memory comes back." Vali said while Dimaria laughed her ass off so much she almost passed out while Ultear comforted her husband to put him at ease.

"Shh. There, there." Ultear said, placing Vali's head in her lap before running a hand through his hair, causing Vali to relax and enjoy the warmth of Ultear until he fell asleep on said lap, making Ultear smile at his expression before taking his lips in a chaste kiss.

"Don't worry, my love. I'll always make sure you're safe and loved." Ultear said before promising that if Rizevim ever tried to touch Vali, she would punish him for putting her through Hell and back.

And Rizevim wouldn't live to tell the tale once she was done with him.

Meanwhile, with a certain nun and knight.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Asia? Shouldn't we talk to Rias about this first before doing this?" Xenovia asked, which made Asia sigh before speaking to her friend.

"Xenovia. For too long, both of us thought we would be better suited to each other's roles, so why not do this? The kinks have been worked out on my plan, and this spell will allow us both to not only become new people but also help Issei in the upcoming battle since if what Rassei overheard was true, then Issei will need all of the help he can get." Asia said, confident her plan would work since she worked out the bugs with the device that killed her when the Fallen captured her.

Xenovia was still nervous about this before Asia placed a hand on her shoulder and continued.

"Plus, think about how this will benefit us both. It's a fresh start and a way for us to rebuild ourselves. What do you say?" Asia asked, with Xenovia pondering about possibly changing herself to better herself before sighing.

"Okay, deal, but on the condition that we tell Issei about what we've done afterward."

"Deal."

Asia said that before connecting their bodies to the Sacred Gear Extractor 2.0, they had a one hundred percent chance of not killing the target. It began to activate it as both girls felt their souls leave their bodies before they began to swap with the Extractor, ensuring that the process was going smoothly before the process ended with both Asia and Xenovia's bodies slowly groaning as they began to wake up.

"I-It worked!" Xenovia cheered as she summoned her rings before smiling at the power at her fingertips, literally. Asia was wielding ExDurandal with ease as she took a few practice swings, and it surprisingly came easy to her.

"Woah. It's as if the sword is guiding me at the same time when I swing him." Asia said, looking at her reflection in the sword's steel before smiling at her new self.

"Let's go tell them," Xenovia said before the two left. They couldn't wait to tell them about what they'd done and were ready to prove themselves to not just Issei but themselves that they would be able to help him and stand by his side.

Scene!

Now that the Fairy Tail girls have been reunited, Issei will offer both girls and Vali a place in his peerage since he was also given a peerage set. However, unlike the Evil Pieces, they won't make them into Devils but Dragons instead.
