As soon as the Emperors left the battlefield, Sona and her team arrived to see what caused the barrier to shatter like nothing. Arriving at the scene of the battle the Sona and her group gasps at the damage the battle caused. Everything was destroyed or damaged so heavily that a light touch could make it fall. They could hear explosions on the other side of the barrier and they clearly thought that Rias and her group along with Issei and his group where heavily injured or may even have casualties. But to their shock and relief, everyone looked unharmed and in a good condition, only Lucy and Church duo looked like they went through a hell as one was extremely worried while having a tear going down her cheek while other had the later looked like all hope was ripped out of her and dread and fear was all that consumed them as their eyes were dull and hollow.
Rushing toward the celebrating group, Sona and her team made themselves know by Sona asking the oblivious questions.
"What happened here? Where are Issei and Kokabiel?" She asked getting a response from Rias like they were talking about the weather and not the threat that almost took their lives away.
"Ise fought Kokabiel to a standstill and then the White Dragon Emperor showed up and defeated Kokabiel with ease. I really am proud of my cute adorable Pawn." Rias said with a small blush on her face as she clearly remembered the aura of Domination that Issei released when he entered his Balance-Breaker.
Though Sona had totally different reaction to that reaction to Rias. "W-what!? White Dragon Emperor! So he was the one that broke our barrier. Where is he and Issei now Rias, Lucy?" Sona demanded as she was sure that two Dragon Emperors together is a recipe for destruction on a huge scale.
"Issei and the Hakuryuukou went to have a talk..." Lucy started to answer before she and everyone else felt two powerful energies explode with enough power to wipe everything in a 100 km radius. The whole city was shaking to the core, it had a feeling of an earth shake, but to the devils and church members that was not it, and as soon they put the pieces what was it they started to pale and fear for their lives as the energies only keep rising and rising.
"W-What was that power it's overwhelming?" Reya asked as she started to sweat and shiver in fear of the powerful engines that released this much power.
"The power is coming from...oh Satan please let him be safe." Lucy said as she pinpointed from where the power was coming and that filled her with dread and fear as she quickly unleashed her wings and rocketed towards the power source.
"Lucy, where are you going!? What is happening!?" Murayama shouted to her. But to hers and others irritation Lucy was already out of hearing range as she was flying as fast as she could to get to something or someone.
"Quickly follow her, it looks like she knows where to go!" Rias ordered as everyone unleashed their wings with Akeno grabbing Murayama, Momo Cassie, Reya Katase and Chelsea Xenovia before flying quickly towards following Lucy.

It didn't take Lucy too long to come near the power that was unleashed but to her fear and dread, the ones that were releasing huge amounts of power where none other than the Sekiryuutei and Hakuryuukou and from the looks of things they didn't plan on stopping anytime soon, as they powered were going to the point of where even if the whole Student Council and ORC with Lucy and her group attacked to stop them it would only end in their deaths, and to make it, even more, worst they couldn't get close enough to them since the raw energy was too much for them and would kill them in an instant. So Lucy tried something else that may help to stabilize the situation.
"ISSEI! STOP IT! YOU WANNA KILL ALL OF US!" Lucy shouted to him at the top of her lunges but to her fear, he didn't even register what she told him.
When shout didn't work Lucy powered up to the max in an attempt to break their stare down and focus on her, but from the looks of thing, even Lucy at full power wasn't enough to break them and force them to change their focus.
'Dame it! He can't hear me and I powered up to the max and still nothing. I don't want to send an attack in their direction that would cause huge destruction. What to do? What to do?' Lucy thought angrily as she didn't know what to do or how to stop this. Everything that she could think of was only going to get a destruction in its wake.
And to add to her frustrations, the others arrived also and they had exactly the same reaction as Lucy. They were afraid at what would happen as the two Heavenly Dragons started down one another whit their power bursting forward. They could only guest where Issei got this much power as they clearly saw that Issei was heavily injured and he was on his last reserves during the fight. So that only meant that Hakuryuukou has given him a Phoenix tear or Issei had extremely good regeneration since he was part dragon.
"Lucy, did you try to get their attention?" Sona asked the silver haired beauty.
"Yes I did, I tried to shout to them that didn't work, then I powered up to maximum and that didn't even fazed them. Anyone has any idea how to break this stalemate. If we don't do it soon, there is a chance there won't be any of us left much more." Lucy answered getting a gasp from the girls as they all looked again towards the duo.
Though that is when Lucy saw that the two powerhouses were talking and from her perspecitve it looked like the White one was the cause for Issei's surge of power and that was something that unnerved Lucy, as she could only hope that he will calm down before something bad happens. But the girls were too much engrossed in what Lucy said.
Lucy Lucifuge one of the strongest devils that would even put fear to even Ultimate-Class was powerless in the presence of those two Powerhouses. If someone like Lucy was powerless then that would mean that if the fight starts they could only run away and duck for cover until its over and one of the two mighty Dragons are victorious. And that meant that one of them will die.
"Let's call Grayfia maybe she can help in breaking those two, she is powerful enough right?" Katase asked getting a wide eyes from the three heiresses with Lucy face palming herself for not thinking about her sister sooner.
"Katase you are brilliant. Sister should get their attention." Lucy said getting the pink haired girl to blush from the phrase.
"Thank you sister." Katase answered with a soft smile.
Quickly forming a communication circular Lucy called Grayfia. It didn't take very long for the Silver Haired Queen of Annihilation to answer the call.
"Lucy, how can I help you? We received the information that you guys fought of Kokabiel and managed to stop him, very nicely done." Grayfia praised as she felt very proud of her and her brother in law.
"Sister, why I thank you for the prase we are currently in even more danger. We need you or Sirzechs here NOW! Ise and Hakuryuukou are staring down each other and are releasing a ton of power, I can break through to them since we are far away so that their Aura doesn't kill us and even in full power I can get them to change their focus. Please, sister, can you come and help us. I would rather not see Issei in pieces. He is still injured and tired from fighting Kokabiel all alone by himself." Lucy stated in a hurry getting a gasp from Grayfia.
"I'm on my way, send me coordinates. Sirzechs, Issei is in trouble move your ass now, we are heading to Kuoh...NOW!" Grayfia told Lucy before from the looks of things forgot to turn off the communication circular making Lucy and some other girls giggle as they heard Sirzechs whimper from Grayfia's orders.
It didn't take more than a few moments before a magic circular wit Gremory crest appeared near the girls and from it Grayfia and Sirzechs emerged in their regular clothes.
Quickly scanning the area around them Grayfia and Sirzechs were relieved to see that everything was for the most part fine, girls were all right and didn't look like they went through the fight. But when their eyes landed towards the dragons Grayfia's eyes narrowed as she started to make her way towards them.
Both Sirzechs and Grayfia felt something that they didn't felt in a LONG time, and that is what made them even more on guard as the clearly could tell that if nothing was done quickly there would be hell to pay and if White and Red Dragon Emperor's combine their power well result would be simply put catastrophic for everyone that faced it.
"Rias, Sona, Lucy thank Satan you are all right." Sirzechs said before he noticed other girls that he wasn't familiar with.
"Oh and you girls are? I see that Michael did send some church members. Though weren't there three of you?" Sirzechs asked getting the church members to bring their weapons at the ready.
"Brother those are Cassie Locketheart and Xenovia Quarta their friend was badly injured in a fight with Kokabiel so she was sent to Underworld in Sitri hospital for recovery." Rias said making Sirzechs nod.
"Good, you two can stand down. I'm not here to fight you, I'm here to help Ise. My name is Sirzechs Lucifer, the Maou of Underworld. A pleasure to meet you all." He said with a soft smile making the church members to relax somewhat.
"My name is Murayama and this here are Katase and Chelsea, we are what you can say companions of Lucy and Issei." Murayama said with a bow followed by Katase and Chelsea making Sirzechs look towards Lucy for a moment giving her a sly smirk before addressing the three girls in front of him.
"Ah yes, I heard about you three from Grayfia, it is pleasure to meet you as well. But I think we can all talk later, looks like Grayfia is about to enter their aura range." Sirzechs said as all of them turn to look what would happen hoping for Grayfia's success.

As Grayfia was near the area where their Aura's will hurt others or kill them depending on their power she covered herself with hers and entered it. As soon as she entered it, both Issei and the White Dragon turned towards her.
'It looks like they are now focused on me. That is good, better me than them, it would be catastrophic if they fought here.' Grayfia thought as she slowly started to release more power to break theirs.
"Grayfia, get out of here, this isn't something that concerns you." Issei coldly told her making her stop for a moment by his cold voice, before she just surge it off and continued to make her way towards them.
"You are partly right dear Ise, but I can let you two fight and if it means I need to use force than I would. Now lower your powers or I will make you." Grayfia stated softly before she ordered them.
"The strongest Queen. Looks like this day is full of surprises. What do you say Red Emperor, what will you do know that you have knowledge of what would most likely happen?" The Hakuryuukou said making Issei glare at him.
"You know what I will do, I told you already. And mark my words if what you said happens there would be a lot of dead and rivers of blood that would make Amazon and Nile look like small streams in comparison." Issei almost demonically responded making his rival nod while Grayfia had wide eyes.
'What was said to make Issei this angry?' Grayfia asked herself as she couldn't understand what could cause the friendly boy like Issei to become almost like demon.
Lowering his power a bit the White Dragon unleashed his dragon wings. "Then until next time my rival. Next time we meet there would be a glorious battle between us. I do hope you are ready to face the power of the Supremacy." The Hakuryuukou said as he started to lift off the ground.
"And I hope you are ready to face the power of Domination White one." Issei replayed as The White Dragon Emperor just took of making Issei lower his power before he fell on his knees.
"Ise!" Grayfia rushed to him as he slowly and wobbly started to get up only to fall again but this time Grayfia managed to catch him before he could hit the ground.
"I'm all right Grayfia, don't worry, I'm just too tired and exhausted." Issei barely said as he felt himself falling to sleep in her arms.
Shaking her head Grayfia just sigh in relief before she flew towards Sirzechs and others who were waiting for her return.
It only took a few seconds for Grayfia with Issei who was sleeping in her arms to get to others. As soon as she landed Lucy quickly took Issei from her and started to hug him tightly not wanting to release him making adults laugh a bit.
"It looks like our work is done her Grayfia, should we get home?" Sirzechs asked but in response only got a shake of her head.
"No, master there is something that I think it would be good to know before we leave. It has to do with Issei and his response to the Hakuryuukuo." Grayfia answered making Sirzechs eyes to narrow a little.
"And what was his response Grayfia?" Sirzechs asked as he looked at the boy who saved his sister's life along with Lucy's and Sona's with their peerages and friends.
"His response and I quote is: "You know what I will do, I told you already. And mark my words if what you said happens there would be a lot of dead and rivers of blood that would make Amazon and Nile look like small streams in comparison." I think something will happen soon that will most likely make him go to that form and you know as well as me what that means. Those who would make him that much furious don't live long to tell the tale if they are face to face with it." Grayfia answered making everyone widen their eyes.
"Grayfia, what form are you talking about, we know about Balance-Breaker but what is another form?" Katase asked dreading the answer.
"It's the Juggernaut Drive. The one that unleashes all the power of the Heavenly Dragon and its fury. A very few who faced that form survived to tell the tale of it. It is said that once the host of the Booster Gear or Divide Dividing entrees that form they lose their sanity and their minds. They have the power to destroy the world many times over but for that power, there is a grave price to be pay. Their life energy. The more they use it the more it is spent. Of course, if the user has huge magic reserves it can be used to fuel the drive but if another source isn't found life energy is spent. And most who entered that are dead. When their life force hits zero." Grayfia explained getting a horrified filled gasp from the girls who loved Issei.
"Is there any way to prevent that form from coming out?" Rias asked as didn't want to lose her love interest.
(There is a way but the chances of it happening are slim.) A voice said making Lucy and the girls look at Issei's left hand as a jewel appeared on the back of his hand.
"Tell us Elsha please." Lucy begged to make Elsha giggle a bit before she sadly sighs.
(I wish there is a chance for you all to help him, but sadly there isn't. The only one that could do this is currently sleeping and it all depends on his willpower and mental strength.) Elsha answered making Lucy start to stiff a bit as she understood what is needed to be done.
"Can you tell us what was said between the two dragons, and who are you?" Sirzechs asked getting Elsha to giggle.
(I'm Elsha Markovic the 2nd strongest host of Ddraig, the daughter of Russian Bayard and Captain of Valkyrie of Lord Odin, the champion of both Lord Perun and Odin and the Supreme General of the Imperial Armies of Russian Empire. It's pleasure to meet you Sirzechs Gremory or should I say Lucifer and Grayfia Lucifuge-Gremory. And to answer your first question, I would love to tell you but, sadly just before he and the Hakuryuukuo started to talk he cut off the link to me and Ddraig and we couldn't hear what was said. But we felt extreme bloodlust and fury that were started to slowly awake other hosts of Ddraig that were subject to that horrid drive if we are lucky that with an awakening of the host then maybe he will awake also and that will help a lot.) Elsha answered making Sirzechs and Grayfia nod while others were in confusion.
"Elsha who is the one you are talking about?" Murayama asked hoping that it wasn't another girl that was about to awake that had the beauty that would make her selfish desire for Issei go down the drain.
(Ufufuf why of course the strongest host ever. Belzard the Unstoppable, he is the one that managed to kill two hosts of Albion and survive the Juggernaut Drive after using it. Ddraig wanted to give him dragon heart but he refused and died killed by the third host of Albion when he sacrificed his life to save his loved ones. Though that host was killed by Kokabiel in a duel later.) Elsha explained getting Sirzechs and Grayfia to widen their eyes at the name since it was very familiar to them.
Belzard Sparrow or Belzard the Unstoppable, the ultimate Red Dragon Emperor, the strongest one that ever lived the one that not only refused Ddraig the true Red Dragon but also refused Sirzechs and managed to fought Grayfia to a standstill with his a monster wordy of his nickname. And if what Elsha said was true and that Belzard is about to awake, then that could be very good for them. Since Belzard while immensely powerful and ruthless in battle was a kind hearted individual that cared for those around him and protected them till his last breath.
But like Elsha said that was what caused his downfall but his achievements were still so large that no other host of Ddraig ever managed to even come close with Elsha being the closest to it.
"Elsha is there a way for Belzard to train and help Issei?" Sirzechs asked getting a hum in response.
(That would be hard to tell, since in order for Belzard to train someone they need to prove themselves to him by fighting him and managing to land a blow at least on him. It took me about 15 years to manage to land a blow to him, but knowing Issei I don't have any doubt that he will manage to get him to train.) She answered getting a nod from the red haired Maou.
"That is good to hear, thank you very much Elsha. Now all of you go home, Grayfia would you mind if you escort them home? I will fix the school." Sirzechs said getting a nod from everyone.

When Lucy entered Issei home with Grayfia she immediately went to hers and Issei's room where she laid him down before making her sister some tea. Lucy was grateful that Grayfia arranged for Issei's parents to go on the holiday so that they were now on cruiser most likely near the cost of Greece in the warm and sunny Mediterranean Sea.
As Lucy brought the tea, she and her sister sat down in the living room where Lucy gave a report of what happened before Issei knocked her out and later when she regained her consciousness and just before her sister and brother in law come her. Grayfia for her most part was upset that Issei knocked Lucy out but she understood why he did it and she was surprised that he managed to hold out that long. She was sure as hell to reward Issei for his courage and strength. It isn't easy to fight even for a moment someone that is way above you even for a minute but Issei managed to hold his own for more the almost ten. And hold out for Azazel's reinforcement to arrive and even help his arc rival to beat Kokabiel.
"And sister that is all that I can tell you since half I can't tell." Lucy said to Grayfia who gave a soft nod.
"That is plenty Lucy, though I think that Issei is in need to be rewarded for his did. Don't you think Queen of Sekiryuutei?" Grayfia asked in a sly smirk getting Lucy to blush at her words.
"Y-Yes I think it would be only fair. But for now, let's let him rest first. He deserved it sister." Lucy answered getting a nod from her sister.
"Of course, and do tell him that when he is rested to call me so I can tell him something." Grayfia said before both women change the subject and enjoyed each other's company in pleasant chit-chat and drinking tea with Grayfia teasing a little bit Lucy here and there.

It was three days later that Issei was rested and back on his feet, when he woke up from his battle Lucy and Chelsea pinned him down telling him not to move a muscle and that they will do everything he needed. To say that Issei was glad and embarrassed would be an understatement. When he wanted to take a bath Lucy would enter it with him and she would use her breast to wash him completely and giving him boob-job just to torture him in Issei's mind, as he was sure that he would release his load just form her touch let alone this. He thought that this was her version of revenge for knocking her out.
During his home arrest, Chelsea confessed her feeling to Issei much to his shock and giggle of Lucy as she already knew of the feeling that Chelsea had for her love. And she was glad that Issei accepted and reciprocated her feeling much too both girls joy.
Only after forth day was Issei aloud to go outside but Lucy was always with him not leaving his side at all. It was when he entered ORC before school that he was surprised to see everyone there. As soon as the noticed him all of them rushed at him knocking him on the floor with a large -UFFF-
It took about 15 minutes for the girls to release him enough for him to get up. As soon as his feet where on the ground both Katase and got close to him again and without warning grabbed his head tightly with her hands and lifting herself on her fingers kissed him on the lips again shocking him and the rest of the ORC and SC at what the girl that hated Issei's guts did it.
When questioned why she did it, her answer was simply that she saw a side of him that was hidden and that she fell for that side of him instead of the side that was shown in school. And of course, that made Rias pissed as she wanted to hurt the girls that stole her love interest that didn't fade at all. But that was stopped when Lucy stepped forward and clearly told both SC and ORC that if one of them hurt the girls that she thought of sisters there would be a lot of mess to clean up.
That is when Issei spotted two figures that he was sure that would be bye now back in Europe.
"Xenovia, Cassie, what are you two doing here, aren't you supposed to be in Europe?" Issei asked getting a shake from the two.
"Nope, we were excommunicated when we gave a report to our superiors. So without anywhere to go, Xenovia decide to join Rias while I'm still human and both of us will be joining your school." Cassie said getting Issei to start to get angry.
"Why those no good..." Issei started before Lucy kissed him on the lips to calm him down. Which did the trick as he calmed down somewhat. Making some girls jealous by what Lucy did to calm Issei down.
After the near tragic event passed. Lucy called her sister to inform her that Issei was in the ORC and that they were ready for her to come. It didn't take long for Grayfia to appear in front of everyone in her default clothes (maid outfit).
"Ah, Ise it's good to see you on your feet and not in our arms." Grayfia said making Issei blush and the girls to laugh before she continued. "After receiving the report from Lucy, Rias and Sona it was decided without a fault for you to get a promotion to Middle-Class and it was decided between both Lord Lucifer and me that we will help you in increasing your knowledge of Devils sociality and of course Lucy will be with you to help you study along. This test is twofold so that means there is a test of knowledge and fight. I don't have doubt about your fight so you can rest assured that it won't be too hard. You will face other Low-Class devils." Grayfia explained getting Rias and Sona along with their peerage to have their eyes wide along with Murayama and Katase with Chelsea, Xenovia and Cassie to smile happy that the one that was the strongest of them got a promotion. While Lucy hugged Issei tightly while smiling from ear to ear from happiness.
"W-what? Ise is getting a promotion? Why was I not informed and why does Lucy has to be with him? I should be there to help Ise as his King." Rias protested but it fell on death ears as they just outright ignored her and continued to talk about the promotion. Which made her extremely angry but she was quickly put in place as Chelsea again for 10th time knocked Rias out making even her peerage laugh at her misfortune as Chelsea started mumbling about Rias yapping nonstop about the promotion, causing everyone to laugh even more.
Ignoring what Chelsea did, Grayfia turned to Issei and gave him a piece of paper. Opening it Issei trying to read it but failed, making Grayfia and Lucy to giggle as he trying and failed miserably. Giving up on trying to read it Issei handed the paper to Lucy who after clearing her throat read the content.
"Council of High-Class Devils, Heads of remaining Pillars and Elders issue following orders.
The Devil of the House of Gremory. Issei Hyoudou the Pawn of High-Class Devil Rias Gremory is hereby gotten a promotion for his courage and ferocity in a battle against the following opponents. Riser Phoenix and Kokabiel Cadre-Class Fallen Angel.
His cunning battle and his use of his Sacred Gear and its power against Riser Phoenix and his will to protect and delay Kokabiel until reinforcements came saving lives of three High-Class Pureblood Devils while being a Low-Class is enough for the Council of already mentioned to give Issei Hyoudou the promotion Middle-Class.
The content of the test is knowledge of Devils History and Martial Combat.
The test for promotion is on 24.05. This year.
Signatures

"Wow that is awesome...but Wait that means I have only a few days before the test...AHHHHH!" Issei said in awe before he paled and started to freak out with how much time he had before the test.
"Don't worry Love all of us will help you to learn as much as possible and everything that is important to know, including our language." Lucy softly said to him making him blink a few times before he nodded.
"Okay then. What are we waiting for?" Issei said in excitement as he was sure that with Lucy and Grayfia this will be a breeze to pass.
"Nothing really, sister I will teach Issei History while you can teach him language is that all right with you?" Lucy asked Grayfia getting a nod from her older sister.
"Of course I will teach him High-Class manners while I'm at it, so when he promote again he will be ready." Grayfia added getting a hum in acknowledgment from the young silver haired girl.
With that done, Issei and his group left with Cassie tagging along with them to Issei's home where Lucy will start to teach him all that is important in History of devils and also the other girls since she knew that they will be willing to join Issei's peerage when he gets his pieces.
When they entered Issei's home and made themselves comfy Issei who was wondering why Cassie was with them decided to question it.
"Cassie, not that I mind you being here, but why are you here with us and not with Xenovia?" Issei asked getting Cassie and Lucy to giggle making his eyebrow to twitch in annoyance.
"Love, that is simple. While you are out Cassie came here and talk to me and other girls. And well to make it a long story short, she decided to when you hit the High-Class she will willingly and gladly join you. Of course, if you accept her. And that goes for Mura, Katase and Chelsea." Lucy answered making Issei's eyes go wide with surprise.
"Why?" Was only that Issei asked completely overrun by his emotions.
"It's like I said, people follow those that lead by example. You went head first against someone that survived Great War and fought him to a standstill, you protected everyone there even Murayama and Katase, you were the first one to discard what devils thought about church members and offered full support and are a great deal of encouragement to those on the field and off it. And you even sacrifice your hand so that you can protect those you love. Need I say more Love?" Lucy answered him softly getting a nod from the girls present.
Sighing, Issei just smiled towards Cassie making her happy. "Well Cassie since you stuck here you are more than welcome to stay here in the guest room, or of course you can sleep at Mura's or Katase's place if they are up." He told her getting Cassie to smile as she hugged him tightly.
"Thank you Issei, I will gladly accept your offer. And I will make sure to repay it to you." Cassie said making him shake his head.
"It's all right. As long we all get along then there is no need for anything." Issei replied making everyone smile before they started their learning sessions with Lucy.

It was the big day for Issei Hyoudou the Red Dragon Emperor. After a few grueling days of Lucy's tutoring them all and Grayfia's manner and language training Issei felt ready as he would ever be. With a final look behind him, Issei smiled seeing the girls giving him encouragement and best wishes, with a nod to them Lucy and he entered a magic circular and teleported towards the Promotion Exams and towards a new challenges and opportunities.
