A/N Thanks for all the views and reviews on the last chapter, I know I say this every chapter but your support greatly helps me continue the story along and influences the direction that I take it. This chapter has been quite hard for me to write as I decided to have the cliffhanger of Issei's balance breaker in the last chapter, as a result of this the chapter may not run entirely the same as the anime or light novel but will end very similar and I hope will help show some of the power that Issei has been hiding.
So with out further a due let's begin chapter thirteen.
"Ddraig do it now" Issei said causing confusion to run throughout the devils minds causing Kokabiel to feel fear for the first time in the fight after hearing that name.
"Ddraig it cant be" Kokabiel thought to himself think of the only beast that went by that name and the destruction that it caused to everyone during the great war.
"With pleasure" Ddraig said as Issei smiled, looking at the stunned Fallen Angel.
"WELSH DRAGON BALANCE BREAKER, SCALE MAIL." Ddraig said as Issei was enveloped head to toe in a red armour dragon like amour.
On looking at the scene in front of them Rias, Akeno, Koneko and Asia were all caught off guard by Issei's current form and the power that he was letting out. Rias always knew that due to Issei possessing a sacred gear a balance breaker was a possibility but however was completely terrified in front of her stood a being that she had only heard about in legends, legends that spoke about two dragons that could rival the entire Christian religion alone let alone together, she had seen her fair share of stray devils and exorcists but nothing like this. Everybody that that was present in their varying states of mind were eager to see what was about to happen between Issei and Kokabiel. Beginning to stare at Issei, Rias was confused and amazed at her future husband.
"This power, it's got to be at least the upper tier of high class power if not higher and I cant even sense your demonic powers, where were you hiding this power Issei" Rias though to herself as she looked at Issei who was currently engulfed in a head to toe suit of armour.
Red, red like the deepest red you could go before crimson, it was very close to my hair colour but at the same time totally different, this was the only thing that Rias could see of her future husband, gone was the boy with green eyed, brown haired boy with the soft smile that she fell in love all those years ago was now replaced with a hero that was encased by his red armour. Beginning to look at Issei's armour, she noticed that the balance breaker reminded her of a young dragon. The frills on the edge of the helmet looked like that of an adolescent dragon that was yet to mature, the helmet was adorned with two little spikes with two larger spikes that protruded out and backwards which had a length of about six inches long that sat directly under the eyes of the helmet and looked extremely sharp. The eyes of helmet were the same colour as the jewels that were littered throughout Issei's armour. Emerald green. The other significant feature of the armour was the dragon tail that protrude from Issei back along with the three toed dragon boots that Issei wore, however the most defining feature of his armour was the colossus fifteen foot dragon wings that covered his back.
Looking down at the young devil now adorned in his dragon armour Kokabiel was completely caught off guard by the current situation of the fight. In front of him stood a devil who eleven years ago witnessed the death of his mother by Kokabiel's very hands, who was now looking up at him with the means and drive to kill him and now he was going to take his chance.
"What, how do you have a sacred gear" Kokabiel said confused on how Issei could posses such a weapon.
"That is something you don't need to know" Issei replied as he outstretched his dragon wings moving several of the rocks and debris on the ground around him with the wind that was produced by the wings.
"Issei be careful remember Kokabiel is still a Cadre" Rias said as Issei turned around.
"Don't worry beautiful, I'm going to this teach shit bag not to disrespect the women in my life" Issei said flying up to Kokabiel's throne as Rias and Akeno blushed.
Flying up to Kokabiel Issei now was only a few metres from the man that killed his mother and boy was he going to show the hatred that he had for this man.
"So you think you can beat me boy" Kokabiel said as he stood up from his his throne.
Stepping off the side of the throne and out of his flying throne room, Kokabiel deployed his ten wings and flew a couple of feet away from Issei. Vanishing behind him Issei noticed that the throne room that he was once sitting on had been teleported away leaving the two flying in the air.
Creating a light spear in his left hand Kokabiel through it towards Issei, dodging out of the way, Issei began to fly towards Kokabiel, getting closer to Kokabiel Issei charged up a red orb composed of draconic energy.
"Dragon Shot" Issei said as he fired the red orb toward the fallen angel.
Smiling Kokabiel flew towards the incoming orb punching it with his fist creating a massive explosion on impact. Following the orb Issei flew towards Kokabiel. As the smoke cleared Kokabiel was surprised when Issei appeared before him sending a punch his way, putting his arm up Kokabiel successful blocked the attack sending shock wave through out the battle field smashing several of the nearby windows.
As the shockwave dispersed throughout the battlefield Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Asia and Xenovia were all knocked to the ground by the force that the two being possessed.
Getting off the ground Rias began to look around trying to find were she and her peerage had ended up due to the shockwave. Standing up and dusting off her clothes Rias was soon met with Koneko and Akeno who were both surprised at the power that Issei was displaying. Looking towards her king Akeno began to speak up.
"Rias did you know Issei was this strong" Akeno said as she repaired her clothes that were destroyed by Kokabiel.
"I couldn't sense it at all" Koneko said adding to Akeno's comment about Issei's strength.
"I don't know he did say he could compete with the Norse God Thor for three minutes and my brother at half his power for one minute" Rias said as she looked at her future husband with shock.
"Rias if that was true Issei could have destroyed Riser with the flick of his finger, was his strength with Ddraig and his sacred gear this powerful" Akeno said looking at her king worried.
"That would explain why Gorou had so much trouble keeping Issei's emotion in cheek during Issei's rating game, but Issei is on our side so we need to trust in his power" Rias said as the other girl nodded.
As Asia stood up she rubbed her head were she bumped her head after she hit it on the ground when she was blown away by the shockwave.
Looking around she noticed that Kiba had began to get up out of the crater that he was laying in. Running towards Kiba, Asia kneed down before the fallen knight.
"Kiba are you ok, let me heal you" Asia said as as a green light formed around Kiba.
"Thanks Asia I'm ok, wheres Rias and the others" Kiba said as he began to crouch on his left knee leaning his left elbow upon it.
"Rias sama and the others are standing over there watching Issei fight Kokabiel" Asia said as Kiba turned around quickly.
What, he's fighting him alone, whats the armour he's wearing " Kiba said as he looked up at the battle above as Kokabiel punched Issei in the face.
"Thats Issei's balance breaker" Asia said as her and Kiba rejoined the group.
"Kiba you're ok, thank Lucifer" Rias said as she looked at her knight with a worried look.
"Don't worry President, Issei will be fine" Kiba said as he turned around.
"Its done" Valper said as a bright glow filled the battle field causing Issei and Kokabiel to momentarily stop fighting.
"It appears that the fusing process has been completed" Kokabiel said with a massive smile of his face causing Issei to punch the smug look of his face.
"Fuck" Issei thought to himself as he looked down upon the new Excalibur.
"Freed use the sword and get rid of this debris" Kokabiel said as he stood up from the ground were Issei had sent him flying.
"With pleasure my lord" Freed said as he picked up the blade laughing as he did so.
Holding the blade in his hands all the devils that were present including Issei felt a shiver run up and down their spines. Beginning to caress the blade Freed began to look up at the devils with a psychotic look in his eyes.
"Do you know that excalibur with the crazy specs, I just got one as a gift" Freed said as he licked the handle of the blade causing the devils to look upon him with utter shame and disgust.
Getting into a fighting stance, Rias and her peerage began to prepare for an attack.
"Who should I attack first, maybe that none believer and the flat chested girl" Freed said as he charged towards the devils who formed a circle round Asia.
Continuing to charge at the devils a human sized shadow flew over their heads. Looking up the devils noticed that Xenovia had jumped over them carrying her Excalibur destruction in her hands to protect them from any harm.
"That sword belongs to the church and should not be defiled by the likes of you" Xenovia said as she swung her sword towards the former priest.
"Too slow" Freed said as he used the Excalibur rapidly fragment of the sword to vanish out of sight.
Vanishing Freed caused Xenovia to raise her sword in a defensive position to protect herself from an attack from Freed. Suddenly Freed appeared behind Xenovia.
"Die" Freed said as he swung the sword downwards towards the church exorcist.
Diving out of the way Xenovia used her sword and expert gymnastic skills to begin a handstand. Using her hands and sword as support her weight Xenovia moved her hand very similar to how a ballerina moves across the stage. As Freed's swords passed between Xenovia's legs, Xenovia effortless moved out of the way, Increasing her speed by swinging her hips Xenovia managed to use all her core strength that she had developed during her training to quickly move her hips into an attack position. Sending her left leg forward Xenovia successfully kicked Freed in the stomach causing him to step back, using her right leg Xenovia sent her knee directly into Freed face sending him backwards.
Landing on her knees on the ground Xenovia waited for a response from Freed and boy was she pleased when she received it.
"My face, you scum bitch what do you think you have done to a beautiful creation such as this, I'm going to kill you for this, I'll turn you fucken into a slip and slide you hear me" Freed said as he raised his sword releasing some holy energy into it.
Glowing the swords shape begun to change to Freed's command. Flying towards Xenovia the two metre blade transformed into one of almost six metres, charging towards Xenovia the blade began to use the Excalibur mimic core and continued to change shape. Jumping out of the way Xenovia raised her sword and prepared for the onslaught of attacks that was to come.
"Its not just mimicry you know" Freed said as the sword traveled upwards before separating into five different 'lines' beginning to hurtle towards Xenovia. Attacking Xenovia the sword appeared to have a mind of its own attacking the poor girl at will. Blocking attack after attack Xenovia began to step backwards.
"Its a nightmare" Freed said as he body began to shake before separating into twelve illusions of himself.
Shocked by the amount of Freed's flying towards her Xenovia began to step back.
"An illusion" She said to herself as she began to block attack after attack from the stray priest.
"No, now its transparency" Freed said as the blades began to disappear in his hands.
Continuing to block the onslaught Xenovia soon realised that she was out matched and began to retreat into the devil group.
"Transparency, mimicry, nightmare and rapidly he can use all the abilities of the combined swords" Xenovia said shocked as she continued to step back constant dodging Freed's blade.
"All righty brace yourselves dears" Freed said as his body reformed into one.
"Not even Xenovia can defeat this creep on her own, they're in trouble" Issei thought to himself as he deflected another blow from Kokabiel as he flew towards the ground.
"I cant defeat this guy on my own I suggest we have a combined front in this battle" Xenovia said as she slide back towards the devils as Rias nodded in agreement.
Charging towards them Freed being the sicko his is stuck out his tongue as he ran towards the devils. Using her increased speed that she learnt in the training camp Koneko managed to surprise Freed when she pushed Freed in the back causing him to fall forwards towards Issei who flew down from his fight kicking Freed in the face causing him to fall backwards causing Xenovia to blush at the risk Issei took to save her.
Sweating rapidly Kiba stood up from the ground were Asia was healing him from, grabbing the loose dirt that was underneath his feet Kiba. Crouching onto his left knee Kiba began to look up only to see Valper Galli walking towards him.
"Ive heard about you, there were rumours that one of the test subjects survived extermination, how tragic to survive throughout that tragic event to end up a lowly devil. However I am grateful for you first batch of test subjects you taught me what I needed to complete the project" Valper said as he continued to walk towards Kiba.
"Complete it" Kiba said as he looked towards Valper who stood only a few metres away from him.
"Yes during my research I discovered that none of the kids had enough of the gene necessary to wield a holy sword, after I realised that fact I came to the conclusion that all I needed to do was take out that gene from each of the test subjects from the kids that carried any of it" Valper said as his pupils shrunk as he moved his hands out in front of him causing Kiba to begin to shake in shock.
"Then I found away to combine and crystalise that gene, this crystal is the correct quaintly of the gene to make wielding a holy sword possible it is also the last crystal created by them pathetic excuse for test subjects" Valper said as he raised his hands praising the gene in his hands as Freed began to laugh.
"The others guys that they tested the gene on died halfway through the procedure as they were to weak to accept the gene" Freed said as he swung the swords causing Koneko and Asia to jump out of the way. "If you put it that way that means you're fighting one of a kind.
"Douche" Koneko said looking towards Freed.
"That crystal, holy swords users are given a blessing it must make up for their gene deficiency thats what they've been using them for" Xenovia said as she thought back on all the blessings she witnessed with Irina's coming into mind.
"Those hypocrites, after they excommunicated me as a pagan they ended up using my research typical church behaviour, of course were talking about Micheal so even if he took genes from his subjects I bet he didn't even take the time to kill them" Valper said as a massive explosion went of in the back ground as Issei went flying into the new school building causing Rias to worry while Kiba stood up.
"Issei" Rias said as the rubble began to move.
"Im ok just focus on Kiba I'll keep fuck face busy" Issei said as he slowly got out of the rubble.
"There was no need to kill us either, how could you" Kiba said as he stood up as he looked towards the former priest.
"You were nothing more than material for my project, we had what we needed what else were we suppose to do" Valper said as he looked at Kiba with a massive grin on his face.
"We believed in what we were doing was for God, we bore everything we had into that project because of our faith and then you just threw us way like trash" Kiba said as he began to cry as Valper threw the crystal at Kiba's feet.
Looking upon the scene in front of her Asia who was still trying to heal Kiba, Rias and Akeno after their battle with Kokabiel was completely horrified at some of the church dealings and their programs that caused so many people their happiness. Behind her Rias was also completely ashamed at the church's behaviour.
"Not even a devil would sink so low" Rias thought to herself looking towards the ground.
"Here you should have this, we have no need for this anymore, we have reached the stage were we can create higher quality crystals with no modification needed". Valper said as Kiba bent down and picked up the crystal.
Looking at the crystal Kiba's memory was brought back to all the suffering that he and his friends endured and their final moments that would forever scar his memory. Closing his hands around the crystal Kiba brought it close to his chest as began to stand back up and look at the man that took everything from him.
"How many, how man lives did your cursed project cost" Kiba said as his directed his killing intent toward Valper while a bright blue light began to glow around him.
Glowing brightly the crystal began to shine bright blue. Walking closer towards Kiba. Rias, Akeno, Koneko and Asia looked at the sight in front of them. As the light continued to glow small blue orbs began to form into people shaped objects.
"What is that" Asia said as she looked upon Kiba and Valper with disbelief.
"Its probably the different powers of the battlefield combining. Our power and Kiba's trembling heart must have freed the soles of the people inside the crystal" Akeno said as she rested her hands on Asia's shoulders.
Standing amongst his fallen friends Kiba stood there trembling before he managed to speak.
"I prayed and wondered, why was I the only one to survive, why me it wasn't fair for me to survive there were kids that had bigger dreams than I did, kids that wanted to live more than I did. It was a mistake someone better than me should have made it out of that nightmare."Kiba said as he opened his eyes realising his fallen friends were standing by him.
Looking around Kiba and all others were shocked at the current predicament, even Kokabiel someone who fought against god was surprised. Tugging on Kiba's right sleeve a small girl only about six years of age looked and and smiled at Kiba before all the ghosts vanished.
Begging to fly around him the ghosts began to speak to their former friend.
"Its ok" One of the ghosts said as he turned to try and look at her but before he could see her she had vanished.
"Lets all gather together" Another said
"Take us in, it's time" A male ghost said.
"You don't have to be scared, even if there is no god".
"Even if god is no longer watching over us"
"Our hearts will forever be one"
Begging to sob Kiba brought the crystal close to his chest.
"Yes we will be" Kiba said beginning to accept the Crystal.
Glowing bright blue Kiba began to accept the crystal, looking at his friends Issei noticed that there wasn't a dry eye among any of them. Rias and Akeno were deeply taken by the ordeal and caused water to swell in their eyes, Koneko had a single tear running down the left side of her face and Asia was crying rapidly.
"The knight has peaked, it happens when the thoughts and wills of the users oppose nature and go against the natural cause of things in this world. The sacred treasure within the knight has peaked or what is otherwise know as the balance breaker"Ddraig said from the sacred gear as Issei flew there a few feet away from Kokabiel who was smiling.
My friends never wanted me to seek revenge, they wanted me free, but I'm not, first I need to destroy the evil in front of me then no one else will have to suffer, no one but you" Kiba said as he created a magic circle pulling a sword out of it while Valper walked backwards.
"Help me Freed" Valper cried out in desperation.
"Yes I'm here" Freed said as he jumped in front of Valper swinging his sword channelling his holy aura into the blade causing it to glow.
"Ha you're such a little fool you should have let yourself be killed with the rest of them" Valper said confidently.
"Kiba, go on and kick that Freed bastards ass and show what a knight of the house of Gremory can do" Issei said as he flew towards Kokabiel kicking him in the face.
"Issei" Kiba said shocked.
"You can do it Kiba, fight like a member of the house of Gremory take them done and no true knight of mine would lose to such a pathetic foe" Rias said looking at her knight.
"Come on Kiba we all believe in you" Akeno said happily.
"Yeah, I want to see blood" Koneko said.
"Kiba" Asia said happily.
"My friends" Kiba said as he looked towards them.
"Gross another moving seen from the house of gag me Gremory, now my skin is starting to crawl and it's creeping me out, I cant take it I need to hurry up and kill you. Yes that will make me feel much better " Freed said causing Kiba to turn around.
"Its time for a new sword. Dear comrades who's soles have merged with mine we shale over come these together, all our dreams that were stifled can come true, I'll create a sword for Rias and all of my fallen friends, sword birth go" Kiba said as a black and white light erupted out of Kiba's swords as he held it up.
"This sword is the sword of betrayer a sword vested in holy and devil power try and stop it" Kiba said as a red and white line began to move down the blade.
"Holy and devil powers there only one other begin that is made of them components" Rias said out loud looking at the sword.
"Issei" Rias said in her head trying to solve what has happened.
Walking toward Freed and Valper, Valper was completely horrified.
"A holy and devil sword thats impossible something like that is a fantasy".
"Talk to me knight of Gremory, are the two of us still fighting on the same team" Xenovia said as she began to walk next to Kiba.
"I'd like to think we are" Kiba replied as he kept his eyes facing forwards.
"I have a thought then why don't we destroy that sword together" Xenovia said shocking Kiba.
"Are you sure" He replied.
"Yes I understand that technically we are looking at a holy sword, but there is nothing holy about that sword" Xenovia said as Kiba nodded in agreement.
Stabbing her sword into the ground Xenovia began a chant.
"Oh Peter, Oh St. Basil, Denis and the blessed virgin Mary I ask you to please hear my prays" Xenovia said as a massive magic circle appeared.
Coming out of the magic circle a massive blue sword with a golden hilt appeared chained to the blade.
"Im the name of the saint living in this blade I here set you free, this is called Durandal" Xenovia said as she grabbed the blade breaking it from its restraints.
"Durandal" Kiba said shocked.
"Another Holy sword, then that is what Ddraig sensed when I met her" Issei said as he and Kokabiel were still locked in combat.
"A sword on par with Excalibur" Akeno said shocked.
"Impossible my research didn't go into welding Durandal, no body should be able to wield that thing" Valper said shocked.
"Your wrong, like Kiba or Irina I'm one of the rarely found naturals, this kiddo cuts anything he touches but he rarely follows my lead " Xenovia said confidently.
"I don't believe you" Freed said as he used some of the Excalibur swords powers that were stored within the combined blade. Flying towards Xenovia the blade spilt into six only to be knocked away like trash.
"Your sword is nothing compared to my Durandal" Xenovia said as she charged towards Freed who vanished.
Flying into the air Freed began to speak. "Ive decided I don't like you" He declare only to be interrupted by Kiba who appeared behind him.
"The feeling mutual" Kiba said as the two began a high speed sword battle.
"It wasn't enough to sever our hopes" Kiba said as he sliced through Freed's sword breaking the Excalibur.
"My sword it broke, are you fucking kidding me, how can I be taken out by lame devil scum " Freed said as he slide across the ground before feeling the pain of Kiba's sword causing him to collapse on to the ground.
"See our combined strength over can Excalibur" Kiba said as Valper began to speak.
"How is that possible, holy and devil powers fused together, in theory its impossible unless not only the devil kings but go…" Valper said as Kokabiel used the small window to throw Issei to the ground before throwing a spear through Valper killing him shocking the devils as he vanished.
"Oh Valper you really were very talented, unfortunately you weren't supposes to find that part out" Kokabiel said as he flue towards the devils as Issei got out of the rouble.
"What are you trying to tell us" Rias demanded as she walked up to stand next to Issei who was now starting looking at the fallen angel.
"Im destroying everything I find tedious, now I'm even more bored than before, hey little boy is that all the power you have your as weak as your bitch of a mother" Kokabiel said angering Issei.
Walking towards Kokabiel, Issei was stoped when Rias asked him to transfer power to her as she wants to kill him for talking bad about her family. As Issei transferred the power to Rias, Rias let out a moan as she felt Issei power run through her.
Standing up Rias now possessed a red and green aura, flying into the air Rias fired a massive dragon of destruction towards Kokabiel rising his shields Kokabiel took the full frontal attack as he laughed.
"Im amazed Rias this attack is stronger than your last but not as strong as Sirzech's" Kokabiel said as Rias ran out of stamina and began to fall to the ground only to be caught by Issei.
"Using her opportunity Akeno fired a massive attack of lighting towards the fallen angel. Using his wings Kokabiel blocked the attack as he laughed.
"Its true you do possess the power of Baraqiel" Kokabiel taunted.
"Don't you dare speak his name, I am nothing like that creature" Akeno yelled for the second time today as she too ran out of energy.
"Oh Rias you have the same problem as your brother you collect trash, your knight is a failed holy swords project test subject, your fiancee is the mistress of lights spawn who also happens to be the Red Dragon Emperor and your Queen is definitely Baraqiel daughter, it appears my assassination attempt against her family failed" Kokabiel said as Akeno found who ordered the attack to kill her and her mother.
"How dare you insult my brother and family you will die" Rias said as she said a massive sock wave of power outworlds.
"You will try, you're facing the arch enemy of devils so i'd take this opportunity" Kokabiel said as he landed.
"Hey dickhead if you say on this more against Rias or Akeno, I'm not going to just kill you i'll beat you so bad you wish you were dead, you stupid bird brain" Issei said causing Rias and Akeno to blush.
"I'd like to see you try, you've been fighting me for forty minutes and you haven't even hurt me yet" Kokabiel said.
Changing toward Kokabiel, Xenovia and Kiba swung their swords at the fallen angel. Catching their swords in his hands Kokabiel laughed before kicking the two in the guts sending them flying towards the others.
Getting up Kiba and Xenovia were both excused, After fighting Freed and Valper, both swordsmen were spent. Breathing heavily Xenovia looked up to see Kokabiel laughing
"Why fight so hard for a bunch of losers who don't know they have lost their master" Kokabiel said confusing everyone.
"Care to explain" Rias said.
"What does lost their master mean" Xenovia added as she lent on her sword for support.
"Opps that just slipped right out, hahahah hahahaha, I guest I am trying to start a war theres no point in trying to hid it any longer I might as well tell you the brutal truth, IN THE PREVIOUS THREE WAY WAR GOD WAS ACTUALLY KILLED ALONG SIDE THE FOUR GREAT DEVIL KINGS" Kokabiel said as he sent shock through everyone that was present.
"N-no God is dead" Xenovia said as she began to shake.
"No way God is dead, theres no way I've never heard any of this" Rias said as she looked at Kokabiel.
"Back then the devils lost all their kings and most high ranking devils, the angels and fallen angel lost all most everyone but their leaders. Pure breed angels became rare and pure breed devils are just the same. All sides have been ruined to the point were they have to rely on humans to survive. Angels, Fallen Angels and Devils had to seal away this knowledge so the god fearing humans would continue to fear" Kokabiel said as Asia and Xenovia fell to their knees.
"Lies they're lies, it's not true" Xenovia said as she looked down.
"Know try and remember I could careless about any of that, what drives me crazy is that Azazel chose to pull out of the war when we were winning WHAT THE FUCK" Kokabiel screamed in anger.
"God doesn't exist anymore than where is the love that we have been giving go to then" Asia said as she stood up clenching her chest.
"Ha, Micheal has been holding out this long, he's the one that has been keeping the angels and humans together in god stead" Kokabiel said bluntly.
"The archangel Micheal has been acting as gods agent all this time that mean all our prays" Xenovia said shocked.
"As long as the system remains prays and exorcisms with endure to a curtain extent Im sure someone has been listening" Kokabiel said as Asia collapsed into the ground causing Xenovia to turn around.
"Its a natural reaction, I'm surprise I can even think" Xenovia said as she looked at Asia.
"Without anything to watch the balance it's no wonder why something as conservers as the holy devil sword or even Issei Hyoudou would exist" Kokabiel said as Kiba looked at his sword.
Beginning to shake tears began to stream down Rias's face.
"Are you ok" Akeno asked her king.
"Again I let my pride get in the way of things, it's my fault" Rias said before she was interrupted.
"Don't fuck with me, you not only take mine but Akeno's mother way from her, you insult Rias and her family now you're trying to take faith away from them to, mark my word Kokabiel you are going to die here" Issei said as flew towards the fallen angel.
"Issei don't" Rias said as she tried to stop Issei.
Flying towards Kokabiel Issei prepared to kick the living shit out of him, Creating a light spear Kokabiel through it towards Issei only for it to be destroyed when Issei punched through its. Breaking through the spear Issei and Kokabiel began their brawl again. Punch after punch, kick after kick the fight between the two intensified. Throwing Kokabiel through the school building Issei quickly follow.
Elbowing Issei in the face as he got closer Kokabiel released his wings and hit Issei in the face with them before throwing him back towards Rias. Landing near Rias, Issei charged up a dragon shot and fired it towards the new school building destroying it immediately as Kokabiel flue out of it.
As the others looked on they were amazed at the speed and power that the two possessed, standing there Issei and Kokabiel just looked at each other before going at it again.
Walking up to Rias, Akeno was surprised at the lengths Issei was willing to go to protect his friends.
"Im sorry Rias, I'm going to tell him how I feel" Akeno thought as she stood next to her king.
"Rias, Issei's power in this battle trumps even that of the Phenex fight, if Issei used this power in that fight it would have been over immediately" Akeno said as Rias nodded in agreement.
"Yes the power that he is possessing would easily make him compete with the Rookie's four or even Sairaorg himself" Rias said shocked as she looked at Issei.
Punching Kokabiel in the guts, Issei was surprised when Kokabiel kneed him in the face breaking half his helmet and sending him flying into the ground in front of Rias.
"This is interesting, I haven't had this much fun since I killed your mother" Kokabiel said with a grin.
"You bastard" Issei said as he looked at the man that took his mother away
"Interesting, just them" A feminine voice said as a massive crack when down the barrier.
As the barrier disappeared the power that this being put through the remains of the barrier to destroy it, sent the student council flying to the ground with the remains of their barrier that appeared like little shards of glass falling to the floor. Looking up the ORC noticed a blue orb coming down from the destroyed barrier, suddenly the orb disappeared and was replaced by a human sized figure wearing an amour similar to Issei's but was white with blue wings.
"Oh shit I'm in trouble if she's here" Issei said causing Kokabiel to snarl.
"Your right kid but why is the Vanishing dragon here wouldn't it wait till your alone" Kokabiel said cockily thinking he had another ally only to be cut of by a string pain coming out of this back.
Vanishing at the speed of light the Vanishing dragon appeared behind Kokabiel and with the pull of her shoulders she ripped Kokabiel's top four wings out of his back.
"That was fast even for her" Issei said loudly as Rias and the others walked up behind him as he deactivated his balance breaker.
"I don't know I couldn't see it" Kiba said shocked at the beings speed.
"Issei do you know how that is" Asia asked innocently hiding behind him after waking up.
"Yes and so do you" Issei said shocking most of the group and causing Rias to laugh.
"Your wings remind me of a filthy crows, dads wings are deep black like ever lasting darkness" The Vanishing dragon said looking at Kokabiel who was still on the ground holding his wounds.
"What have you done" Kokabiel said as he looked up.
"Someone who has fallen to the ground hardly needs wings wouldn't you agree" The vanishing dragon said as Kokabiel began to glow yellow as he flue into the air.
Flying into the sky Kokabiel created a light spear several times his own body size, however before throwing it a voice rung out.
"Divide Divide"The voice rung out making Akeno realise who it was and caused her to be amazed at her rivals strength.
Shrinking in size the light spear halved, then halved again, and halved again, by the time the attack was over Kokabiel's light spear was no where to be seen.
"What have you done" Kokabiel demanded as he looked towards his new foe.
"Her name is Albion, she gives me the power of divine dividing, you better hurry or you wont be able to beat a human" The vanishing dragon said as the others besides Xenovia realised who it was.
"Vali sama" Asia siad shocked confusing Xenovia.
"Cuts power in half" Xenovia said shocked.
"The Red Dragon Emperor doubles its users power every ten seconds and the White Dragon Empress divides the power" Rias said looking towards Xenovia.
"So the legends were right, Issei be careful she'll attack you" Xenovia said still having no idea who they were dealing with causing Issei to smile.
"Are you still bored, Dad told me to bring you back even if it takes all my strength" Vali said as she flew into Kokabiel pulling him throughout the sky causing Kokabiel to scream.
"AZAZEL" Kokabiel screamed as Vali pulled him towards the ground.
Outside of Kuoh.
As Kokabiel hit the ground the magic circle that was connected to his consciousness disappeared ending the threat that threaten the city. Outside the school looks of shock filled the faces of the student council.
"The waves from the magic circle are fading" Tsubaki said shocked looking at Sona.
"That means Rias and the others must have won" Sona replied equally as shocked.
"Ah so it appears that Vali arrived just in time"A voice said behind the student council shocking them.
Turning around the student council prepared for an attack.
"Who are you" Sona demanded
"Wait Sona she's friendly" Saji said shocking his king/girlfriend.
"You know her Saji" Sona said as her pawn walked up besides her before bowing to their guest.
"Hello Sensei its good to see you again" Saji said shocking Sona.
"Its good to see you to young Vritra"The person said as she walked closer.
"Saji who is this" Momo said looking at her crush.
"This here is the person that Issei, Vali and I train with in the morning. I would like to introduce you to Issei Buer's rook and the Strongest Dragon King Tiamat" Saji said as looks of fear went thought the young devils.
"Tiamat" Tsubaki siad.
"Issei's Rook" Sona added surprised.
Kuoh battlefield
As Kokabiel laid there on the ground unconscious, Xenovia prepared to attack this new enemy. Raising her sword towards Vali, Xenovia prepared herself for another enemy. Beginning to run Xenovia lowered her sword, facing the shape edge of the blade forward and ran towards Vali at full pace, Running past Koneko and Asia, Xenovia was surprised when Issei stood in front of her.
"Issei move out of the way she is our enemy, she's your enemy" Xenovia said as Issei looked at her oddly.
"She may be your enemy but she's not mine" Issei said confusing Xenovia.
"But she's your eternal rival" Xenovia said as Issei looked at her and Rias giggled.
"Lady Gremory, why are you laughing at this, when your future husbands arch rival has appeared". Xenovia said shocked
"Well Xenovia, the truth is that yes Issei's rival has appeared but she is also his queen. How are you Vali" Rias said shocking Xenovia as the others laugh.
"I've been good, i'll tell you about my adventures later Rias but if you don't mind I have a dragon to deal with" Vali replied as she looked at Issei who felt shivers run down his spine.
"Look Vali I can explain you see Ow" Issei said as Vali hit Issei on the top of the head still wearing her balance breaker amour.
"Why didn't you contact me, I had to find out from dad that the stupid war monger was in town, do you know how that felt when you were in danger and I wasn't there to protect you like you did for me" Vali said angrily one the verge of tears as Issei looked stunned at her.
"Vali I'm sorry, it's just" Issei said as he had his head down as he began to run away from Vali who was chasing him.
"It's just what" Vali said as she picked up the broken Excalibur and began to chase Issei.
As Rias and the others who fought Kokabiel looked on in surprise Sona and the other student council members walked up behind Rias.
"It looks like you survived your battle with Kokabiel, but what was that bright light" Sona said looking at Rias confused as Rias laughed.
"Yes, it appears that we have survived, but unlike the Riser fight this was a combined Gremory, Buer effort. And to answer your question about that bright light" Rias said as she pointed towards Vali who was still chasing Issei around with the broken Excalibur sword.
"It was Vali" Sona said shocked.
"They fight just like, Big brother Ddraig and Big sister Albion used to" Tiamat said giggling alerting the others to her presence.
"Um Tiamat how much like their dragons are Issei and Vali" Akeno asked the dragon king.
"Very similar but I'll tell you more another time" Tiamat replied.
"Ok student council let's repair the damage done to the school" Sona said as the student council bowed and began clean up duty.
"We can help" Rias asked looking towards Sona.
"No I think Issei is the one who needs the most help" Sona said as she pointed towards Issei who was hiding behind a tree.
As Issei stopped and looked towards the ground he was surprised when he felt a warmth feeling coming from around his chest. Looking down Issei was surprised when he noticed Vali hugging his body very tightly.
"Is everything ok" Issei said looking at his queen.
"Im just glad you ok, when dad told me about your past with Kokabiel I rushed here with Tia as fast as possible" Vali said on the verge of tears as she let go of Issei and picked Kokabiel and Freed up.
"Ok dad wants to speak to these two so I'll see you tomorrow" Vali said as she vanished into the sky.
Collapsing to the ground Issei began to look up at the night sky.
"I've done it mum, now you can finally rest in peace, I love you mum" Issei said as a single tear ran down his face.
Before Issei could wipe away the tear, Rias' warm gentle hands cupped his face accepting the tear. Sinking into her hands Issei closed his eyes and thought about everything that both his mother and Rias taught him.
"Its ok now Issei, you made me very proud today, and I think your mum would be proud of you as well" Rias said as she laid next to Issei on the ground looking up at the sky.
"Thanks Rias, you didn't do so bad yourself fighting a leader class fallen angel with Akeno tonight" Issei said as Rias blushed as the two got up and began to walk towards the others.
"Im glad you're ok" Rias said as she gave Issei a kiss on the lips.
Returning the kiss the two love birds were locking in a kiss until Akeno broke them up.
"Ok love birds break it up" Akeno said as Issei and Rias smiled.
"Ok" Rias said as she blushed.
Before Akeno could speak again, Issei quickly pulled both girls into a hug shocking them both.
"I..Is everything ok Issei" Akeno said shocked.
"Yeah it is now, two of the most important woman in my life are ok and safe and I couldn't be happier" Issei said as Akeno went as red as Rias' hair as both girls returned the hug.
"Is it over, no there were others who took over Valper's research my fight is not over" Kiba said as he looked at the blade in front of him closely only to be interrupted by Issei.
"Nice sword, you did it pretty boy" Issei said as he walked by himself as Rias went with Akeno to talk to Asia and Koneko.
"Hey look Issei, I wanted to say something" Kiba said as he looked at Issei.
"No need I understand what revenge can do to people, trust me I know and the truth is if it was for Rias who was my only friend at the time I don't think I would have gotten through it, so promise me this, not for mine or your sakes but for Rias', don't push your friends away again ok" Issei said as he raised an open hand towards Kiba who accepted it as Asia and Koneko walked up to the two.
"Um Kiba you will be coming back to the club won't you" Asia said as she looked at Kiba as she grabbed her chest.
"Hey there Asia" Kiba said as he turned towards the two.
Looking on at the conversation between the three young devils Issei couldn't help but smile at their interactions, maybe now the world will be a lot more peaceful.
"I cant imagine how she's feeling after learning the truth, but whats important is that everyone is safe" Issei thought to himself as he continued to look at the devils.
"Kiba I'm glad that you decided to come back to us and for you to be a balance breaker, as your master it makes me very happy" Rias said looking at Kiba as Akeno stood behind her smiling.
Bowing onto one knee, Kiba knelt towards his master as he bowed his head. "Still though I betrayed the club members and more import the person that saved me all them years ago, I can't make up for what I've done" Kiba said as he clenched his teeth trying to hold back the tears.
"But you came back thats good enough for me Kiba thats enough for all of us, next time don't let everybody's feelings go to waste" Rias said as Kiba looked up noticing all his friends standing around him.
"President I'll make my vow to you once more I Kiba Yuuto promise to protect you and your household as a knight of the house of Gremory for the rest of my life" Kiba said as Rias grabbed his head and placed it on her breasts hugging him close.
"Thank you and welcome home" Rias said as Issei stood forward.
"And I'll keep you to that vow, because you are the only guy I trust to be her knight and protector of her house, plus please remove your head from my spot or your head will be removed" Issei said causing everyone to smile and Kiba to laugh in fear.
"Now then Kiba it's time to accept your punishment, 1000 spankings" Rias said as a red magic circle appeared above her hand.
"Wait what" Kiba said fearfully.
"Suck it pretty boy" Issei said laughing.
"W..What wait, shut up Issei" Kiba said as he begun his punishment.
Looking on at a far Xenovia wondered what was going to happen regarding the aftermath of the battle and the future of the church regarding the news about God, but one this for sure now she always had friends in Kuoh to help her out if anything when wrong.
A/N Alright Im going to leave it there, this was the largest chapter to write as well as the hardest. A lot of things have happened from Issei's revenge to Kiba balance breaker to Vali and Tiamat's return.
This was the end of the second Arc, the next chapter will be another bridging chapter between arcs like chapter six was. This arc was the beginning of Issei's friendship with Kiba and the mutual respect that the two will soon have for one another.
I hope you enjoyed and welcome reviews.
Thanks
