Issei had awoken two days later in the Underworld hospital. Next to his bed layed Raynare. He sat himself up at the time. It was still really early, she then went to wake his girlfriend. "Ray her Ray" said Issei shaking the girl.
Raynare opened her eyes and she saw her boyfriend sitting up, she quickly scrambled to grab a paper in her hand. Before Issei could say or ask anything the paper began to glow and two people appeared. Again there were Sirzechs and Grayfia.
"Thank goodness you woke up, you need to get moving now. Rias is about to announce her engagement at a party tonight if you don't stop it now we can do anything to stop the wedding set for tomorrow" Spoke the lucifer devil.
"Well if that's the case I'm going to need a stage and a guitar." Spoke Issei.
Rias was standing in front of the mirror with a frown and red circle around her eyes from crying. Riser walked in and spoke, "you look stunning my bride to be, you are worth a beauty to marry me." Spoke the arrogant blond.
Rias however did not answer and just let the maid apply make up on her face. The party was about to start and even if it was a celebration for Riser's win, Rias was made to wear a wedding dress. Outside the room everyone was seated at their desks and out stepped Raiser. "Hello everyone and welcome to the Phenex manner, We are all here to celebrate my victory over Rias who is now officially my fiance. I am up here to announce our engagement to save the preserved blood of the devils and to unite both our households, the Phenex and Gremory will become one." Everyone applauded Riser's speech and he once more cleared his throat.
"Now let me introduce you all to my wife to be the daughter and Heir of the Gremory and younger sister of Sirzechs Lucifer, Rias Gremory" at his words a curtain was pulled and out walked Rias with no expression on her face. As she walked, Sirzechs took a stand. I brought a Gift for my sister on this night, he said as another curtain was pulled on stage stood a handsome young man with brown hair and now green eyes. Issei gave an assuring thumbs up to Rias in a way Riser couldn't notice. And suddenly the music began to play.
Years ago, when I was younger
I kinda liked a girl I knew
She was mine and we were sweethearts
That was then, but then it's true
I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed
Every day, we started fighting
Every night, we fell in love
No one else could make me sadder
But no one else could lift me high above
I don't know what I was doin'
When suddenly, we fell apart
Nowadays, I cannot find her
But when I do
We'll get a brand new start
I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed
She's a fairytale
Yeah
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed
Rias cried happy tears for once she was glad Issei appeared, and even put on a show to outshine her said fiance. Riser however could handle this humiliation. The crowd cheered and thought it was just a new never before seen artist hired by Lucifer and Riser. Everyone wanted another song and the musicians behind Issei began to play, but the music sound aggressive.
Put on your war paint
You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down
Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground
We are the jack-o-lanterns in July setting fire to the sky
Here, here comes this rising tide, so come on
Put on your war paint
Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies
Silver clouds with grey linings
So we can take the world back from a heart attack
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Bring home the boys and scrap scrap metal the tanks
Get hitched, make a career out of robbing banks
Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks
"You broke our spirit, " says the note we pass
So we can take the world back from a heart attack
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Put on your war paint
The war is won, before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love
The war is won, before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love
The war is won, before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love
The war is won, before it's begun (Wave the white flag!)
Release the doves, surrender love (Wave the white flag!)
Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Put on your war paint
The crowd was silent, this handsome man is the dragon they saw fighting Riser at the end of the Rating Game and he was here to once again declare war. "Well then everyone I think it's time for another show. We can now see how a full out battle with both combatants as their max would have gone." Spoke Sirzechs
Riser was so angry he didn't even take a second to think that if this man when Injured could hurt him how would he be different at full strength. Both fighters then walked into the arena and faced each other once more. "So what I already beat you there is no point to this battle" Spat Riser.
"Well if you think that fighting a man who spent an entire day fighting thousands of men in the death pit of Tartarus is fair then you're a coward." Issei's words left everyone silent. Not only did his fight off the most ruthless criminals of the support world but also managed to stand toe to toe with a seemingly immortal devil was amazing.
"However this time I don't have a reason to hold back." Said Issei Turning into his demonic dragon form but this time something was different one of his arms was covered in a red scaled armor up to his shoulder with green jewels.
"Go all out or you will die," Issei said in a deep ominous voice.
Riser released his fire wings and charged at Issei. "Balance break" Spoke the dragon.
[Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker]
Issei dawned a new armor that was larger than his first armor with a more golden color. His aura alone was enough to send Riser flying."Riser Phenex, consider surrendering " Spoke Issei
Riser however was not saying a word, the boy he had insulted the dragon he tried to kill was the red dragon Emperor but not only that he had a never before seen power no previous wielder of the red dragon had shown. Riser for once in his life was afraid she felt the overwhelming power, he couldn't stand in the presence of this man. He fell on his knees and began to bow with tears in his eyes, "I surrender. " Riser spoke.
Everyone was left silent and some even began to laugh at the pitiful position on the once proud Phenex. This however angered Issei, not the bowing but the laughing. "Enough, you have no right to laugh," yelled Issei.
This man didn't lower his head because he was afraid for himself. I can see it in him, he laid his head low for his Family. He laid his head down and asked for a way that he could see his family again. He did this for his parents, his sister and his peerage, he has no reason to die yet, if you think his actions are to laugh and then come down here and laugh.
Everyone was left silent, no one laughed anymore, they felt what this man Issei Hyoudou was capable of. "Now Riser go, they are waiting for you. I only came to get someone who is important to me, oh and a word of advice I know the one you truly love is that Queen of yours." Said Issei as he flew out of the area reverting back to human form. Arriving at the center of the party he was tackled by Rias who cried into chest and pure glee. We have to move fast, he said as he picked up Rias and began to fly away. Behind them flew Raynare and the rest of the ORC.
Sona and the Council wanted to join after them but also didn't want attention put onto them as well. Sona however was ready to be a little more forceful, however many girls also wanted to follow behind Issei. Arriving at the Gremory main mansion Rias led Issei to where they were to stay, behind them followed by Raynare, Akeno and Kalawarner. Things were about to be a lot different from then on.
Issei was walking to school with Raynare on his Right Arm and Rias holding his left. Raynare didn't complain this time however she let her master get close to her boyfriend. As on the way to the mansion the night before Rias initiated a kiss and Issei didn't draw back, she had known Rias was next to join her in loving Issei. As they entered everyone looked at Issei who was as usual surrounded by girls but this time he had Rias on his arm, Yuuma on his other and behind them were, Ms. Amano, Akeno, Asia, Sona, Subaki, Subasa, Ruruko, Momo, Reya and Tomoe.
Issei was being followed by the twelve most beautiful girls in the school and they all were getting along. Saji was also seen talking to a girl that morning, Kiba also had his own little flowers however he ignored them and walked next to Issei as they chatted heading into the building.
Mittelt and Koneko were not standing close to them. They however stood being the group having their own conversation. They had actually become good friends, Mittelt enjoyed the quick sassy replies of the white haired girl. And Koneko likes having Mittelt around to deal with nominees whenever she isn't in the mood to deal with people.
Getting to the door of the school everyone took their separate ways. Rias gave Issei a hug and a kiss on the cheek and headed to her class. Raynare, Issei and Asia also walked to their own class. Things have been eventful for them now they can relax and enjoy their school life. As on the other side of town two hooded figures walked through the streets.
