At the Train station Issei and the group excluding Raynare and Shin were waiting for things to begin when Konou appeared and landed on Issei back. "I'm helping, and there's nothing you can say to stop me." Said the girl holding on to Issei's tightly.
Issei looked around and saw the smiling faces of his friends and felt no other choice but to comply. But just as fast as he accepted, everything went dark and they were separated. Issei and Kunuo were teleported to the subway platform. Issei's phone began to ring and he quickly answered. "Hey Issei Saji and Rossweisse are with me, we're fine right now we are still above the station where are you?" Asked Kiba over the phone.
"We are in the subway platform, Konou was with me." Said Issei.
"Alright, can you call Asia and the others to check up on them?" Asked Kiba.
"Yeah no problem, I'll check in with us aight away." Replied Issei.
"Oh and Issei since Rias isn't here you will be acting as our king, you proved it at the bridge today." Spoke Kiba.
"Yeah, I got it." Said Issei before hanging up.
"Hey Asia, yeah alright take care." Spoke Issei into the phone.
"Well Asia is with Xenovia and Irina so they're fine." Issei told the little fox girl.
"That's good, at least everyone is fine." Spoke Konou.
"Well there red dragon it's been a while." Spoke a voice as an out stepped young thin man with glasses.
"And you are?" Asked Issei.
"Why does no one seem to remember me, but we'll do what I can do. I'm only a lackie." Spoke the man as shadows began to engulf him.
"Oh now I remember you're that guy we fought at the warehouse with the shadow manipulation gear." Spoke Issei.
"That's right, however , things have changed. Balance break." Spoke the man before being covered by the shadows and now wore a black armor.
Issei kneeled down in front of Konou, "alright I want you to stay back I don't want you getting hurt so please stay back I'll protect you." Said Issei with a smile.
The girls nodded and stepped back. Issei started the man down and began to walk towards him. As he approached he dropped down, going for a low kick to send the man down; however , Issei's leg only went through his ankles but the man didn't move. Issei, not wasting movement, twisted his body using his hands and sent a kick to the man's head but again his leg only passed through his body.
The shadow sent a punch connecting with Issei and sent him into a pillar where his body was wrapped with shadows and held against the pillar. But from behind the pillar a blue flame flew out and hit the shadow. It didn't cause any damage but it did make contact with the man. "Ha you think a little fox fire can hurt me." Said the man as he looked at Konou.
"Hey Asshole, your fights with me, so never turn your back on a dragon." Spoke Issei as he took a deep breath and shot out a wave of flames, sending the man flying back.
Issei sprouted his wings and claws as they began to glow red, now that "I know your weakness it's pointless to fight, if we continue you will die." Spoke Issei
"I don't care if I die, I will do everything I can for him." Spoke the Shadow.
"Hey do you hear yourself why do you even follow him?" Asked Issei.
"Let's just say my life was worthless before I met him, and don't go around proving your strength as a human killing Angles, Fallen angels, Devils and even God's sound interesting." Said the man.
Issei moved forward sending a barrage of fists at the man and finished him off with a spin kick planting his heel into the man's temple. "All of that sounds stupid what's the point of getting stronger without a true conviction, you only want to do what has been done to you, Cao Cao doesn't want to kill Gods he just want to feel strong, but there is not conviction behind his fists why does he fight besides to fight. I fight to protect those I hold dear and to bring happiness to others. That's why I have an obligation to protect this city from you guys." Said Issei before walking out of the subway with Kouno on his back.
After a moment Issei met up with the rest as he approached he noticed Xenovia had a new sword. "Hey Xenovia what's with the new sword?" Asked Issei.
"Oh it just arrived from the church a moment ago, this is the new and improved Durandal or Ex Durandal combining the Excalibur provided by the church and Durandal." Spoke Xenovia
However after they gathered the doors of the shire they stood Infront of and began to open. The group began to walk In with Saji supporting a still drunk Rossweisse. "Where the Woman?" Asked Issei staring at Cao Cao and his lackeys.
"Oh the fox she's over there?" Said the teen pointing at a blond woman with fox ears and tail with an emotionless expression being held up by two men.
"Mother it's me Konou please answer me." Cried the little fox girl.
"What have you done to my mother?" Asked Konou, glaring at the group on the roof of the shrine.
"Oh did you forget we need her for a little experiment." Said Cao Cao as he snapped his fingers and Yusaka began to glow.
After a pained screen from the woman and a brightening and growing light, it dissipated and in her stead was a giant golden furred nine tailed fox. "Nine tailed foxes are the highest grade of Yokai there is and Kyoto was built to hold large resurved of Ki, so we want to merge hers and Kyoto's powers to cause a large influx of energy. Hopefully that will be enough to bring Great Red to us." Said Cao Cao.
"Great Red what do you want with him, he's just a peaceful dragon enjoying himself in the dimensional gap." Spoke Issei.
"Yes that is true however, our boss is quite annoyed by his presence." Said the leader of the Hero faction.
"Wait, you mean Ophis so that's her plan, she wants to kill great Red and return to the dementia gap." Realized Issei.
"Yes and I'm surprised you don't wish to face Great Red. I'd thought the Red dragon emperor would want to prove himself again the True Red Dragon God Emperor." Spoke Cao Cao.
"Well I'm not bothered by him, however I'm not a red dragon emperor anymore." Said Issei but he didn't clarify as to what he meant by that.
"Enough talk I'm ending this now." Said Xenovia as her sword began to glow and a giant energy blast shot out, she swung her sword and completely destroyed the shrine as well as leaving a large crater in the city.
"Few this guy has a kick to it, but that's took care of that they were a lot easier to kill then I thought." Said Xenovia.
"There not dead, I hear there hearts, it sounds like war drums." Said Issei.
Suddenly they began to dig themselves out of the Crater. Kiba, Xenovia, Irina and Rossweisse quickly jumped down at Issei orders. "Saiji stay back and deal with The fox Yokai." Spoke Issei.
"Right." Said Saji.
"Alright Vitra let's do this." Said Saji as he turned into a giant black snake like dragon.
"Alright Asia please take care of Konou." Said Issei.
"Ok" replied the ex nun.
"And Konou take care of Asia." Added Issei before jumping into the Crater.
Issei landed besides his friends ready to fight. "Alright Georg do it." Spoke Cao Cao as a man in a red coat and glasses began to form many different types of magic circles.
"He's using Norse, Angel, Demonic and Fallen angel spells, dark and light spell and maybe even fairy spells." Said Rossweisse analyzing the man's magic.
As Georg completed his spell Kusaka began to glow as hers and Kyoto's magic were murged. "Alright it's done, with this Great Red should be lead here soon." Spoke the man.
"Now then Sigfreed who do you pick to fight." Said Cao Cao.
Sigfreed pointed his sword at Kiba and then at Xenovia. "Alright then Jeanne, Heracles." spoke the hero faction leader.
"I'll take that cute little angel." Said the blond girl besides Cao Cao."
"Then that leaves me with the silver haired woman." Spoke large blue grey haired man.
"Then I'll face the Red dragon emperor." Spoke Cao Cao.
Kiba and Xenovia Charged Siegfried, however Siegfried bearly countered both knights, pareeing each swing. "Well this is fun I guess I have to go all out Balance break." Spoke the man as three more arms came out of his back.
"Well then now that you see my balance breaker let's end this." Spoke the man as their battle commenced.
With Irina she was flying around throwing light daggers at the blond woman who dashed through the ground at incredible speeds. "You're quite good for an angle, however not good enough." Spoke Jeanne.
She stuck her sword to the ground and hundreds of holy swords burst through the ground towards Irina. "This power of mine is a holy version of that demonic one your cute friend has. This is Blade Blacksmith. Now let me show you something neet. Balance break." Said the blond as her swords began to form a giant egg shaped spear and suddenly a giant metallic dragon began to roar.
"No way a dragon is made out of a holy sword." Spoke a shocked Irina.
Rossweisse was facing Heracles in a straight fight. With her rook strength she was able to match the man. "Well it seems we're taking our toys out, Balance break." Spoke the man as a spiked and giant mistle like gauntlet formed in his shoulder and hands.
"Pretty cool right this is Variant Destination, now take this!" Explained the man as the gauntlets in his first flew off and began to follow Rossweise who flew away trying to avoid them.
However she was hit but before hitting the ground she was healed by Asia using her long lange healing. "Now then Dragon boy let's get started." Spoke Cao Cao as he thrusted his spear forward.
Issei twisted his body and held the spear between his elbows and back as he extended his leg upwards intending on hitting the man in the face. However, before he could, the spear began to extend and slammed Issei into the side of the craters. Asia began to heal him as he stood looking at his torn shirt.
"Aw man I just got this now there's a rip through it." He said looking at the hole.
He then looked at the wielder of the true longinus and narrowed his eyes. Wish horns, wings, class and tail appeared and he flew straight into the spear man. Cao Cao spun the spear intending on slicing Issei but he ducked under and sent a right punch that was blocked by the young man's spear. The attack lifted Cao Cao slightly off the group and Issei followed the attack up with another punch sending Cao Cao flying back.
Cao Cao stood and began to reach out to hold the spear properly however he noticed that his arm was missing. "Looking for this." Said Issei holding the severed arm.
"My tail isn't just for show, it's pretty sharp, " said the boy as he tossed the arm back to him.
"You messed up by giving me back my arm." Said a strangely composed Cao Cao.
Placing his spear into the ground he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small glass bottle and began to drop the liquid onto his severed arm before placing it back onto his body.
"Phoenix tears, how did you get those?" Asked Issei.
"Well I didn't get them Legally if that's what you're asking." Replied the man.
Beside Cao Cao appeared the other heros holding Issei's unconscious friends. "Well you are quite a strong dragon." However, you are not strong enough to face us yet. Spoke Cao Cao as the other threw the Devil onto the ground.
Issei looked at his down friends as they began to heal. "Issei it's time." Spoke a voice in his head.
Suddenly Issei found himself in front of Elsha who in her hand held a red marble. "You can now take in your potential, it's now or never accept your power and protect your family." Said the woman as Issei did so.
Outside in the real world Issie's aura began to glow red. "There's one thing you failed to notice, I haven't used my sacred gear once this whole fight." Said Issei.
"What, how can that be your wearing a sub decision armor of the red dragon balance breaker are you not." Spoke Heracles.
"No this is my own body you see I'm a dragon, demonic dragon to be exact. And now with this my power will increase exponentially as this is the key to fully unleashing the power of the red dragon of domination." Spoke Issei as he absorbed the marble.
-Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker!- spoke Ddraig as Issei was now in his black balance breaker.
"I go by many names, Red, The Dragon of Songs, The Red Dragon Emperor but now I need a new name called me, The Black Dragon who sings of Domination." Spoke Issei in a voice mixed with Ddraig.
