Alright everyone we need you all to cheer for the new Black dragon of song." Cheered and announcer as Issei stepped out dawning his black armor.
"And who is that, oh no it's the white dragon Empress, she has come to defeat the dragon of songs. But wait his loved ones have come to fight alongside him." Added the announcer.
Around Issei stood Rias, Akeno, Kuroka, Sona, Asia, Xenovia and Koneko. They began a faux fight with Vali who was in a false balance breaker. "I'm surprised Vali agreed to appear in this kids show." Said Kiba as he stood on the sidelines with the rest of the Vali team and the student council.
"Well it was kinda an order from Azazel. He said he'd take away her music player if she didn't, whatever that means." Said Arthur.
"Plus I think she's actually having fun out there." Le-Fay added.
"We will not let you take our Issei." Spoke Raynare as she threw holographic light spears.
"He will be mine eventually and I will never give him back." Replied Vali.
The children in the crowd cheered at the actors, the loudest among them was an orange haired angel who cheered on Issei even if he wasn't doing much. "Alright kids what should the Dragon of songs do now, A, should he defeat the white one in a fight?. B, Protect his loved ones or C. Convince her to join them in the fight for good?" Asked the announcer as on the screen a pole appeared and the kids began to vote.
"The audience has spoken and we will be going with option C."
Kiba ran onto the stage and handed Issei a Ukulele. Issei grabbed it and dispersed his armor as he began to play.
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I
dream
I knew when we collided
You're the one I had decided who's one of
my kind
Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do
tonight
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just in time
I'm so glad you have a one track mind like
me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection we can't
deny
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out of my
untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin you're
madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your
mind
Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do
tonight
The way you can cut a rug
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangsta, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see, I can be myself now finally
In fact, there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see
You'll be with me
Hey, soul sister
Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey, soul sister
I don't wanna miss a single thing you do
tonight
Hey, soul sister

Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Tonight
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Tonight
The crowd cheered and Valis' armor fell apart as she landed beside Issei and the girls flowing towards him as they walked into the sunset.
"Alright kids, now we will take a small break while we wait for the dragon of songs to get ready." Spoke to the announcer.
"Wow, you're really popular out there Issei. Everyone was cheering you on." Said Kiba handing Issei a water bottle.
"Say Kiba why aren't you going on stage with us and do the show." Asked Issei, "I'm sure you'd be pretty popular."
"Actually I planned to but Tsubaki asked me not to because she said something about not wanting me to turn into a diva or something." Spoke Kiba with a small laugh.
Issei laughed along with his friend as Issei prepared his wardrobe change for his return to stage. The door of the changing room opened and Irina waved Issei over. "Hey Issei, come with me for a sec. I need your help with something." spoke the orange hair Angel.
"Yeah sure, what do you need?" Asked Issei as he followed Irina to another changing room.
"Well you see the announcer hurt her ankle trying to help Security contain the fans that kept trying to get backstage so Sirsechs put me in charge of announcing from now on." Spoke to Irina.
"And well this costume is a little tight especially around the chest, so I need help zipping it up." Added Irina as she moved her hair out of the way.
Issei grabbed the zipper and began to pull but once the costume was all the way up the front ripped open and tore causing Issei and Irina to lose their balance and fall back. "Wow, we've been in this position before." Spoke a now topless Irina as she straddled Issei.
"Well not exactly this position." Spoke the slight dazed dragon.
"Well now that the will of heaven has led us here it must mean God wants me to bear the child of a Dragon." Spoke the Angel.
Suddenly the door opened and I walked Xenovia. "Hold it right there I have dibs on that DNA." Spoke Xenovia.
"No fair you can't take advantage of Issei like that." Said Asia.
"Yeah that's my job." Added Akeno.
"Move aside hoes that man is mine." Budded in Koneko as she squeezed through the girls.
"My my let me in on the fun." Added Kuroka
Suddenly all five girls were almost topless and each on top of Issei.
"What is going on here?" Spoke two voices. The seven teens turned their heads and saw the faces of two angry kinds and the giggling of a Raynare.
"What can't we have a little fun with our Issei?" Asked Akeno.
"Yes you can, however not while we are working so everyone get out of this room now." Spoke Rias.
"Thanks girls, that was getting out of hand." Spoke Issei sitting up trying to button his shirt.
"Thank you Rias, Sona, I have to get back on stage soon so see you two in a bit." Spoke Issei as he went to hold his son before returning to work.
"Well buddy I'll see you soon papas got to go to work." Said Issei lifting his son in the air.
"I'll do you in a bit to Ray." Said Issei handing the baby over.
"Alright everyone I'm your new announcer Irina, now let's welcome back the Dragon of songs to finish this night off with a song." Said Irina as Issei rose out from under the stage with his guitar.
"Hey there everyone did you enjoy today's show?" Issei asked from the stage.
"Yeah!!!" Yelled the audience.
Issei began to play a few of his songs to the enjoyment of the audience. "Now everyone, today I will be singing you one of my new songs. I came up with this song for my son and for all the children of the underworld." Spoke Issei as he prepared to sing the final song of the day.
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand
and stare
I'd like to make myself believe that planet
Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake
when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
(thread, thread)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet
Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake
when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(when I fall asleep)
Leave my door open just a crack
Please take me away from here
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Please take me away from here
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
Please take me away from here
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said, "Farewell"
(they said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a
jar (jar, jar, jar)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet
Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake
when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(when I fall asleep)
I'd like to make myself believe that planet
Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake
when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(when I fall asleep)
"Thank you everyone for coming." Spoke Issei.
"Now for those with backstage and meet and greet passes I will be backstage in a moment everyone have a good night." Said Issei as he began to lower under the stage.
"That was great Mr. Hyoudou, come this way your meeting point is ready and the others are waiting for you." Said a man holding a clipboard.
"Thanks Max I'll be there in a moment." Said Issei grabbing a water bottle.
"Alright welcome and who is this one made out to?" Asked Issei as he was handed another poster.
"Vali." Said a familiar voice.
"Hey wait weren't you doing your own little meet and greet?" Asked Issei
"Yeah but it was just a bunch of creepy fan boys, I don't know why dad made me part of this show." Said Vali.
"You know you don't need to stand in line for an autograph right, you could have just come up to me anytime." Said Issei giggling at his ex rival.
"Yeah I know I just wanted to get away for a bit." Said the girl.
"Alright then miss Azazel what do you want me to write maybe, forever yours truly red." Said Issei with a smirk.
"W-what no no just um well." Stuttered the girl while Issei signed the poster.
After returning the poster Vali speed walked away to read what he wrote. "Happy to have you with us, Red." Was what Issei wrote on the poster.
Vali could help but smile at the poster she planned to plaster on her wall. After an hour the event came to an end and Issei was walking back to his changing room when he heard a child's cry. "You promised we would get to see the song dragon." Cried a young boy to his mother.
"I'm sorry ma'am but the event is closed now Mr. Hyoudou is resting.
At that moment Issei went into his balance breaker and walked over to the boy. "Woah it's the Song Dragon,'' said the boy, feeling Issei's armor.
"Hey what's your name kid?" Asked Issei taking the kids off his head.
"It's Lirinx." Spoke to the excited boy.
"Cool name but, I'm happy you and your mom were able to come out to see me today, however Men don't throw fits ok you have to be strong to protect your mom ok." Said Issei signing the kid's hat.
After thanking Issei the woman and child went home leaving behind Issei and Max. "Issei sir you can't just accommodate every child that comes here begging to see you, it can cause problems as it might bring more people to do the same." Spoke Max
"Yeah I know but I want to be able to help the children of the underworld and help them work forward to a brighter future." Said Issei thinking about Sona, Saji and the student council.
Issei now sat in a room resting on a couch when Rias walked. "You're really amazing, you know that." Said Rias.
"Oh I'm guessing you saw that, right?" Asked Issei.
"Yeah we all did." Said Rias wrapping her arms around Issei and planning a kiss.
Behind them the door opened and from in came two fingers. "Issei, your show today was amazing." Said a boy with red hair.
"Milicas, Mother, what brings you here?" Asked Rias.
"Oh well I just wanted to congratulate Issei on all the work he's doing, and it's amazing just how popular your shows have gotten, thanks to you we are able to forward the influence of the Gremory as well." Said Venalana.
"There's no need to thank me, Lady Gremory, honestly I enjoy playing music for the children and it's pretty fun doing the shows as well." Said Issei as he Ruffles Milicus's hair.
"Well I would love it if you wouldnd call me by my title, I'd rather you call me Mother in law or rather just mother would be fine. Though I'm sorry we interrupted, maybe if I didn't I would have been called Grandmother once more." Said Venalana.
"Mother stop!" Said a blushing Rias ash she tried punching her mother and nephew out of the room.
The weekend had come to a close and Rias and Issei stood outside a classroom looking in at the new blond transfer as she was sitting surrounded by girls. "Wow your last name is so Cool Phenex sounds like a superhero, hey doesn't that also sounds like the name of one of Red's songs." Said a girl.
"Oh yeah, The King of Kuoh, he's so cool, I can't believe he used to be a big pervert, but now he's tall, muscular and Handsome." Said another.
"Um, who's Red or the King of Kouh? Asked Ravel kinda nervous.
"Wait, you don't know about Red, he's like a super popular musician that goes to our school."
"Yeah and he's dating all the top hotties of our school, there's Rias Gremory, Akeno Himijma, Sona Sitri, Xenovia Quarta, Asia Argento, Koneko and Kuroka Toujo and his first girlfriend and babymama Yuma amano."
"Wait, isn't there a rumor that he's also dating Vali Azazel?"
"Wait you mean Mr. Azazel's daughter yeah, and it seems that the Amano sisters and Vali are cousins."
As the girls began to gossip Ravel took the chance to walk away noticing her upperclassmen watching over her. "Hey, what was going on In there?" Asked Issei.
"I have never transferred school and I don't know how to deal with these overly curious human teenagers." Said Ravel
"Yeah I can see how that can be a problem. Maybe you need someone you can relate to more." Said Rias.
"You know I think I have the right people in mind." Said Issei as he lead Ravel to the classroom over.
"Hey Mittelt, Koneko, come here for a sec." Said Issei waving the girls over.
"Kya it's the King of Kouh." Yelled a girl from inside as suddenly girls began to surround Issei.
"Yo what it do." Said Koneko, staring at Ravel.
"Well while Issei deals with that Koneko, Mittelt we were thinking that since you two are in the same year as Ravel you girls can show her the ropes around here." Spoke Rias.
"Yeah it's no problem cats love fried chicken." Said Koneko.
"Well better a fried chicken than a little pussy." Replied Ravel
"Um Koneko, can we not fight with our new classmate?" Said Mittelt.
"Hey Ravel, it's been a while." Said Mittelt extended her arm.
"At least someone here has manners," said Ravel, accepting the handshake.
"Well I hope you two can get along. I have to get big bro away from those hussies." Spoke Mittelt as she walked over to the girls crowding Issei.
"Alright everyone knows what to do right?" Asked Rias as the occult research club began to decorate.
"Wow this is so much fun I can't believe we're turning the occult research into a haunted house." Said Asia.
"Don't forget I'm doing fortune telling." Said Akeno.
"And the maid Cafe." said Raynare
Outside the main clubroom Issei and Kiba were cutting wood. "So Issei, have you thought about our upcoming fight with Sairaorg?" Asked Kiba.
"Yeah actually last time we fought we were practicing even in power be it in my base, but I have a feeling he has a trump card." Said Issei.
"How can you be sure?" Asked Kiba
"Even if I didn't go into my hybrid form or balance breaker I still gave myself a boost discreetly, and he easily kept up. He also didn't seem nervous fully knowing I still had my sacred gear." Said Issei.
"Now I get it his confidence in your fight gave you clues, however you have gotten a power up since last time so don't count yourself out yet." Said Kiba.
"Yeah I know but I have this feeling that I can't keep my guard around him." Said Issei
"Well we can continue training, I have a technique I've been working on as well." Said Kiba.
"Really what is it?" Asked Issei.
"That's a secret." Said Kiba.
"Hey what's with this hardcore male bonding and can I join in the conversation." Said Azazel.
"Hey Azazel you can if you have some booze but don't you have a teachers meeting?" Asked Issei.
"Yeah but it was boring so I decided to leave and left Rossweisse to take notes." Said Azazel.
"Anyways, what brings you here?" Asked Issei.
"Actually I'm here to talk to Ddraig, I want to know how the boosted gear is reacting to how many changes you've put it through." Said Azazel.
"Yes I have grown quite worried about the gear, it seems that releasing the Juggernaut curse frees the souls trapped within the gear, if the gear were to be damaged in any way it would mark my death and the end of the red dragon emperor." Spoke Ddraig.
"However it doesn't seem to be the case, the seal around Ddraig is just as strong as ever so there's no concern for now but this does bring the question if the gear won't be in a sense destroyed how far can you push through the limits of the boosted gear." Said Azazel.
"Yes, with how fast my partner is growing I don't doubt he might even surpass the gods at one point, that would be truly interesting to see." Said Ddraig.
"Wait, I just thought of something." Said Issei drawing the ring Azazel handed him before.
Summoning his sacred gear, Issei held the ring in hand and began to focus. "Power Transfer." Spoke the gauntlet and from the black claw came out a red glowing ring with a green jewel.
"What is that?" Asked Kiba.
"I'm not sure but I believe I just created a sacred gear." Said Issei.
"Wait really!" Said Azazel examining the ring.
"Yeah I was remembering how you explained how you sealed Fafnir so I kinda placed some of the power of the boosted gear into the ring." Said Issei.
"Ray, can you come here for a second?" Called Issei.
Out walked Raynare with Shin in hand. "Alright Ray I need you for a little experiment, I think I just created a sacred gear and I want you to try it out." Said Issei.
"Um sure but I think you've been spending way too much time with Azazel." Raynare handed Shin to that said man.
"Alright, give me your hand." Said Issei as he places the ring in her finger.
"Ok Ray, focus on the ring." Said Issei
Raynare did as she was told and focused on the ring in her hand. It began to glow red and suddenly a small red gauntlet formed over the back of her hand. "Wait, this is a double Critical, it doubles your power." Said Raynare as suddenly the gauntlet began to dissolve.
"YEAH IT WORKED!" said Issei.
"Yeah I'm impressed Issei but it seems we have some work to do." Said Azazel.
"Hey and maybe once Shin is older we can make him a Replica boosted gear." Added the Governor General.
"Sorry to cut your fun short, boys but we have an urgent request for you, Issei." Said Rias.
"Oh is it a contract?" Asked Issei.
"No, we were summoned to the Sitri domain by Sairaorgs Butler." Said Rias.
"I'll explain on the way, let's get going." Spoke Rias seriously as they began to teleport to the underworld.
In the underworld Issei and Rias sat in a car that drive through the Sitri Manner. "Wow the Sitri territory is so beautiful." Said Issei looking around.
"Yes the land of the Sitri is always maintained but it's more than just looks they hold the highest grade medics in the underworld." Said Rias.
"Oh right we're getting off course why are we here again." Asked Issei.
"So you know my mother is a Beil right." Said Rias.
"Yes that's how you and Sairaorg are cousins, and how you and your brother inherited the power of destruction." Said Issei
"Yes well you see Sairaorgs father is my mother's brother and when he was born everyone of the Bael house was ecstatic that an heir was born, however his birth was deemed and embarrassment." Spoke Rias.
"Because he was born without any demonic power." Spoke Issei.
"Correct and as a result his father tried to hide him and his mother, my mother even offered to take them in; however, Sairaorgs father didn't want them to be known to the public so she ended up raising Sairaorg on her on the outskirts of the underworld." Added Rias.
They were led out of the cart and into a small house. Walking in they were led to a room by Siraorgs Butler. "This is 's mother Misla Bael formerly Vapula and she has fallen to a coma caused by a common disease that affects only the devil's." Said the Butler
"Sir as you may know I'm not a doctor I'm not sure how I can help." Said Issei.
"Well you see we have heard that you managed to help awaken the leader of the Yokai with your power." Said the man.
"Oh you mean Heart's song." Said Issei.
"Yes I believe you could listen to her heart's song and maybe help Sairaorg hear her voice once more." Said the Butler as the door opened and in walked said man.
"Sorry to bother you Hyoudou I wasn't sure if this would work but he was insistent that we try." Said Sairaorg.
"Yeah we can give it a shot." Said Issei as he places his hand over Sairaorg and his mother's hearts.
"Now speak from your heart." Said Issei as from his heart ran two glows through his arms.
"Mother I'm not sure you can hear me but I kept my promise, even without demonic power I trained my body to become strong." said Sairaorg beginning to feel something in his heart.
The women didn't awaken but Sairaorg heard her voice. "My son, is that you?" Asked the woman.
"Yes mom it's me." Replied Sairaorg as tears ran down his eyes.
"Where are you? I can't see you." Spoke the woman through the connection.
"Mother you're in a coma but with some help from a friend I'm able to talk to you, so please mother open your eyes." Said Sairaorg
At the boy's words the woman's chest began to glow in response. Issei took his arms away from the two as he was able to hear their conversation. On the bed the woman began to stir and sit up. Everyone was silent for a moment as the woman opened her eyes and for the first time in years saw her son.
The Butler finally registered the events and began to run out of the small house calling for a medic from the main Facility. "Mother, you're awake." Said Siraorg as he knelt at his mothers bed placing his head into the mattress.
The woman didn't speak but wrapped her son in a weak hug as doctors began to enter her room. "Thank you again Hyoudou." Said Siraorg sitting on the garden bench.
"Yeah it's nothing, just don't throw the match when we fight." Said Issei.
The Bael heir chuckles at him. "Not planning on too." Said Sairaorg.
"Well now that I know there's no longer any bagage to be carried in this fight there's no need for either of us to hold back, we will go all at it like men should." Smiled Issei.
"Yeah it's a promise I won't pull my punches either." Said Sairaorg.
"Oh Sairaorg, who are your friends?" Spoke his mother approaching the teens in a wheelchair.
"Oh mother, we didn't have time to introduce you." Said Sairaorg.
"First you already know Rias." Started the boy before being cut off by his mother.
"Oh Rias you've grown up to be so beautiful, you look so much like your mother." Spoke to the woman.
"And who are you young man?" Asked Misla.
"Hello Ma'am I'm Issei Hyoudo." Bowed Issei.
"He is the current Red Dragon Emperor, Rias and Sona pawn as well as Boyfriend, he is the one who helps us communicate." Said Sairaorg.
"Oh I was sure Rias was to be married to Riser." Said the woman.
After a while the three inform the woman of all the events of the underworld, Rias's broken engagement, The Young devils gathering and Rating game tournament, Risers wedding, And Issei becoming the most popular musician in the underworld.
"Well I believe we have overstayed our welcome. We must return to school to work on our festival event." Said Rias preparing to return to the human world.
