Hello everyone. My second chapter of this fic. I didn't expect to take four months for this fic. Sorry, but things got busy and I came down with covid. It's what it is. This has been received very well. Thank you all for that.
16 reviews, 170 favorites, and 198 followers. Nearly 200, I am very grateful for that. I know where I come from so this is a very nice thing to have.
Thank you all again for this.
I also got informed on the Sacred Gear of Divine Dividing being his wings and not a Gauntlet. For consistency, I'll be keeping it as a Gauntlet.

This story was requested by someone, yes and I have written this.
So basically, you are saying that this isn't exactly new or original. Does it have to be? I don't think so and the feedback supported that. I have written original DxD stuff and yet, it didn't give me this amount of traction. It won't be that much a difference but I doubt that there'll be anything wrong with that.
It's just the same story with a few spins here and there. Like so many other fics. And I found that by doing a few of those, they turn out to be really enjoyable fics to write. So make of that what you will.

There'll be one difference between Issei and Riser on that matter. Issei won't claim Rias as his right. If they end up, it'll be on their own terms. So there is that. And if you don't like it, don't read.

I and the requester will keep it in mind

Answer as above. We'll keep them in mind.

Issei was just joking when he asked Rias to join in but with how she looked at him. There was something clear that Rias was seriously considering.
"Okay, jokes asides. Turn around now, please. I'd like to get dressed." With a smirk, Rias looked at him.
"Why? I believe that you owe me an explanation, Issei." First name base already? She was going back at him for teasing him.
But Issei found there was a time and place for everything.
"Gremory-senpai, I believe in a principle that beauty has to be admired. If I want to see a lady naked, I'll pull out all the stops for her. But I also expect those principles to be applied to myself. You have seen me already. But now turn around." Issei's glare made it even more clear. Rias wasn't sure what power came from him.
"Very well. Don't run away." Issei grinned.
"Don't worry, I got questions for you as well." Issei turned to his date who had been frozen. Raynare gulped when her eyes laid claim on the Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess. She had heard the stories of the little sister of Lucifer. Her powers were already developing and here she was. In the vicinity of her and more than capable of destroying her.
Her eyes caught Issei. And her lips felt his. It caused her to have warm courage to flow in her veins.
"Don't worry. I'll keep you safe. I promised you. Right?" Raynare nodded to him. She just hoped that he meant that. If she could be honest, Issei was the more dangerous being that Rias. Or at least. More powerful.
She dressed with magic while Issei changed into his clothes as a normal being. And unlike Rias, he allowed her to sneak a few glances at him. Especially given the fact that he looked so good. When he was back in his shirt and loose trousers, he turned to Rias.
"Okay, we are decent." Rias couldn't keep her eyes off him. He looked handsome. That much was clear. And it was a difference how he was like this. She also counted in the fact that she liked the sight of him.
He was confident to a point of being cocky without being arrogant. Assertive maybe. A warrior.
"Now, can you tell me how you got through here? I think I put up a barrier on this." Rias rolled her eyes.
"Please, I have been keeping tabs on you. When you sit next to my [Rook] every time you got free time, it becomes all too easy." Issei sighed. He should have known. But well, there was little harm in that.
The White Dragon wanted to be friendly with the Devils and now, he had a way for that.
"So you just pinned me. That doesn't sound creepy at all. Or should I be honored that Rias Gremory is stalking me?" The tightened jaw, the subtle glare, and the tic on her forearm while they were crossed. Issei was annoying her but he was also unhappy with how she managed to track him.
"I think that you should keep in mind that I am the overseer of this town. All residents are under my protection."
Issei glanced back at Raynare.
"Really now? So what do you want? A medal?"
"Answers. What are you really, Issei Hyoudou?"
The Dragon just smirked as he deployed his White Gauntlet. "This should explain that."
"You're this generation Hakuryuukou." Rias hadn't expected Issei to be that. She had guessed that he would be powerful but not this. Not one of the Two Heavenly Dragons.
"Yep. I haven't really lied to the Student Council." Rias raised an eyebrow while Issei just scoffed.
"Come on. I know they're Devils as well. And I'd be an idiot that they haven't told you already about me."
"They did. They told me that you lived in Kuoh before. But you moved to Hokkaido." At this, Issei looked slightly embarrassed.
"Well, I lived here. But I didn't move to Hokkaido." Rias hands moved to her shapely hips and she expected Issei to continue his story. He was one foot in the door, now he had to move the rest in.
"I lived in the Vatican where I trained with the [Sacred Gear]. Been employed by them for over a decade."
"Reason for leaving?"
"A girl that I am mighty fond of, was excommunicated on idiotic claims. From what I heard through the grapevine, she ended up in this place." Rias wanted to ask but found her question answered by Raynare.
"He's talking about Asia Argento. The Holy Priestess."
"And how would you know that? It appears that I have some unwanted guests on my territory." Her eyes flamed when she saw the Fallen Angel. The Princess really wasn't happy with her. Or the fact that she got to Issei first.
"Of course, you'd complain about that. Can't expect anything less from the little sister of the Satan Lucifer."
"Before you two, start making a mess. Don't." Issei's voice showed that he had little time or patience for a magical catfight.
"I have learned throughout the years that all you Magical Beings got a lot in common. So don't start." Rias wanted to protest but found that Issei was right. He could take her on easily.
"You and I, Raynare, we got a goal that we can combine. You want out of this life, and I want Asia alive. So that would be able to combine."
Turning to Rias, Issei sighed. He hated making deals but he knew better than to piss off the Satans. Especially because he didn't have the backings of the Church or Michael.
"Asia Argento is being kept at the Church that Raynare and her friends are. I go in, rescue those who want to be saved and kill the rest." Rias gave him a softer smile.
"And what do you offer me in return for turning a blind eye to the inevitable carnage that you will cause?"
"My gratitude. And my services. I'll help you and Sona out when that is needed. And no, I do not want to be turned into one of your Servants." Issei replied and Rias eyes lit up. Just a bit. Just the tiniest light that Rias revealed.
He had seen it before. And Issei had a good feeling that just like Asia, she was in a serious pinch.
"That is something yes. I can live with that." Issei wondered what she needed his help for but it could wait. Something in his gut told him that if he played this right, he would be more than in the door with them.
"Okay, what do we now, Issei?" Raynare asked.
"Go back to the Church, tell them you killed me. When Asia is there, I'll save you. When will she be there?"
"Next week. All the Rogue Priests and the rest of us will be there as well. I want you to save me, Kalawarner and Mittelt. Asia as well. The rest of them. Well, I prefer that my past is closed." Issei nodded to her and he looked back at Rias.
"Can you inform Sitri about what is going to happen?" Rias nodded back at him.
"Very well. I'll let you handle this. But after this, we will check-up." Issei felt that he had to think things over with Asia. Even if she got out alive that Church, there would be reprisals. He could take care of himself and maybe some Fallen Angel but a former Holy Maiden from the Church? Yeah, that might be tricky.
"Works for me. Now, do you want me to drop you off at home?" Raynare shook her head and she changed into her adult form.
"Sorry but nope. I'll see you next week, my hero." After a long and loving kiss, Issei felt that he got really lucky. And with that, she flew off. Turning to Rias, his knowing look made it clear that she got the same offer.
"Well, it would be one new thing to learn." Offering her the same helmet as he used on Raynare, he hopped onto his bike.
"Get on." And it proved to be an excellent thrill ride for Rias as Issei raced down the hill. He had to spend a week in isolation. With some luck, he could make things work out fine for the entire school. Hypnotizing the school shouldn't be an issue.
"Where to in Kuoh?"
"I'll direct you," Rias shouted back at him. He could hear the giddiness in her voice. They could say what they want but mankind really knew how to make the best vehicles. It wasn't a surprise that Rias home was a small vehicle.
When she got off, she looked disappointed.
"That was fun." Issei bowed his head to her.
"You're welcome. Hey, do you mind if we exchange phone numbers? I'll let you know when I start my Raid."
"That would be doable. Good luck." Issei wanted to kiss her but felt that there would be a time and place for that.
[And those are two more for your harem]. Of course, now, Albion would let himself be known.
'Shut it.' Issei replied back to him as he turned his back around. While he couldn't be in school for a week, Issei would use the week of isolation to scout the Church.
Despite having one of the most powerful [Sacred Gears] in existence. Issei had learned many magical tricks. One of them was to conceal. Another one was what he liked to scan. He learned the layout of the building.
These were tricks that he learned from older fighters. Reconnaissance, scouting, examining, making plans. Of course, he could just ram his way through the building and fight his way through. But he needed Asia alive.
He kept Rias posted. Luckily, the Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess had more than just a pretty face. He trusted her to keep the other Devils informed. And out of his way when he wrecked the Church.
And he hoped that Raynare knew what she was doing because he got some texts from her. The photos of her friends came through. He really liked the image of Kalawarner. Mittelt was another story. She did have some fashion sense.
Not to mention a really nice body.
Besides that, Issei kept focusing his powers to make sure that he was hidden.
Patience was a virtue and he had learned it very well.
Throughout the days, he saw more and more Priests arriving. One took his interest. The rest didn't so much. He was a cut above the others. In his instability and his powers. But that was what he could do. Only sit and wait until he knew that Asia would be there.
Scene skip
Issei laid sleeping in his bed. If he could be honest, he could say that sleeping was the only thing that he really took seriously. It was one of the things that he adored doing. But when he heard his phone ringing in the middle of the night, Issei jolted up.
He looked at the caller. Raynare wouldn't call him in the middle of the night just for no reason.
"Ray, what the?"
"Issei, not good! They found out about our deal. My friends agree on it but…"
He heard an explosion and some shattering of windows.
"Come over here now!" It appeared that he could play the hero that he so despised of being. Well, it would give him some hot babes.
Sending a text to Rias, Issei just opened his window and flew out of the room, in just his boxer.
'Albion, Balance Breaker!'
[Will do partner. Vanishing Dragon, Balance Breaker!]
Issei felt the armor building around him as he flew to the Church. The armor around him encased his entire body. Blue jewels were around him and his wings came out to show off. They lit up the night.
"Asia, please be alive!"
Issei crashed into the doors and just like he had expected, he was greeted by numerous priests.
"Well, it looks like we got our honor guest." The unhinged one spoke to him and Issei's eyes glanced around.
"I'll give you all one chance to walk away with your lives. Give me Asia and the Fallen Angels." Loud laughter echoed through the Church. Issei waited until they were done laughing. At least, they would go to hell with smiles on their faces.
"This is funny!"
One of the priests couldn't stop laughing.
"Yeah, where does he think he is making demands?" Issei's eyes zoned in on all of them.
"Very well then." Before they could even see what happened to them, Issei smashed through them like they were made out of tissue paper. He didn't even get to have fun with them.
He looked back and saw that the only thing was carnage.
"Fuck you." Issei just said while he turned to the secret entrance. Subtlety was now long out of the window.
One or two of the priests could still be alive but Issei couldn't care less about that. He raced through the stairs. The advantage of being a Dragon was that he had gotten many traits. The low light didn't hurt him as he smashed through the priests who were guarding the place. His nose told him the stench of blood.
Luckily, it also told him that there were at least four Fallen Angels. He knew of three he wanted alive. And Asia. He could smell that she was also still alive.
Eventually, he ended up at the place where he saw the remaining priests. Rias had better be grateful to him. He was going to take care of a pest problem for her.
The number of priests easily outnumbered the Devils one to ten.
"Ah, so our Guest of Honor is here. White Dragon." Issei's eyes zoned onto a Fallen with a fedora. The only male that he could smell.
"And you are?"
"Donasheek. I heard of you, all from Raynare. And sweet, cute Asia as well." Issei's eyes narrowed to slits when he looked around for her.
"Where is she?"
"Oh, don't worry about her." Snapping his fingers, eight priests brought in four bloodied figures.
"Issei!" Asia was the only conscious one. No doubt because of her [Sacred Gear]. He was glad that his own gave him a mask. He was about to cry when he witnessed how the cute girl that he grew mighty fond of was looking like this.
"Hey there, Asia. Sit tight. I'll be there soon."
The priests, just like the ones upstairs, began to laugh. And Donasheek joined in with the laughing as well.
"Oh, really? Even a fledgling Dragon like you should know what you are horribly outnumbered. There will be no-" Issei cut him right off as he smashed his fist into the stomach of the Fallen Angel. Throwing him over his shoulder, Issei aimed his arms at the eight who were shocked to see him move.
Small shots of energy aimed at the Priests took them out while the women were safe.
"Issei." Tears of relief filled Asia's eyes when Issei turned his back to her.
"I said I'd come for you. Now, close your eyes. I don't want you to see this." Issei announced while he looked back at the priests. Low-level chumps who were about to make their maker.
And their unmaker.
"Albion."
[Let's roll, partner!]
Making a barrier to protect the four, Issei jumped down on the first unlucky few who came rushing to him. Their bones snapped like they were little twines. He couldn't sap any power out of them but that wasn't needed.
He wanted to work out a system.
The first to act is the first to win. A fist came from behind and it smashed to one priest as he crashed into a group of four.
Blocking a sword, Issei grabbed him by the throat. A headbutt caused the nose to cave in. The priest didn't have to suffer for long as Issei grabbed the skull and with enough pressure, caused it to crack like a nut. Then he went on to the next one.
Avoiding a swipe of the sword, Issei just banged his fist through the next guy. He could feel the blood and guts on his fist. Swiping him away, Issei zoned into the next one. A backhanded fist came smashing through on that one.
Then he looked down on the ground and grabbed one guy up. Using him as a ragdoll, Issei used his body to smash him through five more.
Deciding to use his own sword, Issei just went in his head.
"Albion, Charlemagne!"
[That would be overkill, partner. But fine, I'll indulge you.]
A giant claymore appeared from his body and Issei just grabbed it. A fitting gift to send all those heathens to oblivion. He had learned to control its power.
Issei smirked when he felt the power surging through. It was nearly the same as having Albion's Dividing the power of his foes and receiving it.
This time, he would dish out the power.
Looking around, there were more that came through.
Christ, how many Rogue Priests did these Fallen take in their ranks?
Issei knew that Azazel wouldn't approve of this. He raced to the first guy and smashed him through. Turning around a circle, Issei's sword came crashing through the next guy.
His open fist was just another weapon. When one priest got pierced through, Issei blasted him off. His body became a grenade for the next guy. Taking out five more guys in the gibs, Issei smirked. But they just kept on coming.
When a couple began to fire shots at him, Issei just felt the bullets hitting his Scale Mail. He looked up and saw they were holing from further away. Issei simply raised his fist as he let his own [Dragon Shot] pierce through them.
The bits of energy were the size of cannonballs. All too easy to cause damage.
The next assholes were brought in with close-range fighting again. Turning around, Issei used his right foot to kick the head away. His smirk grew wilder as he began to lose himself in the slaughter.
"You damned human. I'm going to."
Oh, right. That fucker Donasheek was still alive. Issei looked to see that he had thrown a light spear at him.
Issei simply took the spear and broke it off from his armor.
"You're going to do what?" Issei simply asked. His own fury was nearly out of proportion. The only reason why he remained calm is that he needed to keep the noise down. Asia had to look at him again.
"I have been on this place for maybe ten years. But you forget what I am." Issei flew Donasheek by the throat. The Fallen Angel struggled as he wanted to shout. Issei's left arm grabbed from below the throat.
And simply ripped the body away. The eyes widened as untold amounts of pain raced through the brain. Issei beheaded Donasheek by doing the opposite. Sending the body away.
Down below, he looked at the remaining Priests. With Donasheek gone, they were about to piss themselves.
"You made your choice. Now, die with the consequences."
Issei simply cut through the rest of them using his high speed. He wanted to make sure that none of them lived through this. His bloodlust was sated when he was done with all of them.
Unlike upstairs, this time, he made sure that all of them were dead. Turning back to the women, Issei was relieved that all four showed signs of life. First, he cut Asia loose.
"You can open your eyes now." The blond nun saw her savior in front of her. Issei felt the arms immediately encircling his torso.
"I knew you'd come. I just knew it." Issei hugged her back while he was rubbing circles on it. He wished that he could have been there to save her.
"Sorry I took a while." Letting her go, he looked over her body. There were no wounds and all damage seemed to be mental.
"How do you feel? Did they hurt you?" Asia shook her head while she watched him.
"They treated me well. Raynare-sama." The words left her mouth and it reminded both that they still had others in this place. Issei cut Mittelt and Kalawarner loose while Asia took care of Raynare.
From all three, she was the only one who was conscious.
"Thanks for the call," Issei said as he helped her up. The Fallen beauty looked at him and when her eyes found Issei, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed a searing kiss on his lips. Issei's eyes widened. A very nice reward if he was to say. But Asia's blush, adorable pout, and glare were something that he really wasn't sure if he should be that grateful.
When Raynare let him go, she buried her head in his shoulder as she cried her lungs out. It looked like Asia wasn't the only one terrified. Because he had to comfort Raynare, Issei turned to Asia to explain to him what happened.
"What went wrong?"
"Raynare-sama had taken me in. After I left Rome. She told me it would be fine. But Donasheek-sama. He found out that she had a way out. And he didn't want to." Issei sighed as she continued to comfort Raynare.
"How did you get here, Issei?"
"I left Rome as you did. When I knew you'd come here, I went after you. When Raynare came around, I offered her to get her out. She agreed. It was about the only way I could save you." Asia nodded as she wrapped her arms around the two as well.
"What about those two?"
"They defended me. Raynare-sama called someone. You, I presume." Issei nodded to her.
"Yes."
"Now, this is all very touching. But can you explain this to me, Issei Hyoudou?"
Turning his head, he was greeted by Rias Gremory. The four Devils were presumably in her Peerage. One was a woman that showed the same beauty as Rias. Long black hair and violet eyes and Issei would be sure she had the biggest pair of fun bags he ever saw on a woman.
The other one was Koneko Toujou. She gave him a simple nod as he returned it. Petite with yellow eyes and short white hair. The two knew each other. The last person was the boy in his class.
Blond hair and blue eyes and Issei could think that he had smelt some Holy energy of him.
"We should talk yes but I doubt that this place around with dead is the right place to have this conversation. My place it is."
Issei untangled himself from Raynare and jumped down. Handing Rias a card, she was surprised that he could afford to live there.
"Meet me there and we discuss the rest later." Rias was about to protest but Issei's eyes showed that he was very adamant about this.
And just like her Peerage, she hadn't missed the bloodbath that Issei unleashed. So she agreed. Issei turned to the ladies there.
"You're coming with me." Raynare nodded to him and Issei expanded his wings. Gently, he took Mittelt and Kalawarner up. He didn't waste time flying through the roof. He had better check the upper floor. One body had removed himself from the floor.
Scene skip
When he landed in his place, he wasn't surprised to see the Devils already in his living room. They had made themselves at home. It was fine by him.
"You owe us a story." Rias had crossed her arms while she sat on the sofa. Real boss babe.
"I'm going to change first. And do you mind if Asia checks on the other two first? They are still unconscious." Issei placed the two fallen in his room. Asia luckily still had her [Sacred Gear].
"Come with me." He ordered Raynare who gulped.
"Don't worry." His gentle tone comforted her.
"I'll protect you." Asia had luckily started on them.
"Asia, do you mind joining us when you are done?" The Blonde nodded at him. She was good to work at them.
"Will do." Then she gave a wink to Issei.
"Lady-killer." Issei blushed when he heard sweet, little Asia say those words. Raynare looked gobsmacked. Asia had more traits to her than she would have guessed.
And even more in common with her than she thought.
Issei had taken a shirt and some sweatpants. Without a hint of shame, he changed into his room. Raynare gulped when she saw his muscles and just like the Fallen Angel, Asia was blushing as well.
Turnabout was fair play.
With that done, Issei walked down and firmly wrapped a hand around Raynare's waist. She had no escape as Issei came down the stairs of his bedroom.
He took a seat on the couch, opposite of Rias, while Raynare stood behind the one he was sitting on.
"Sorry for the wait. I've been a terrible host. You'd like anything to drink?" He asked the Devils who had been waiting patiently on him.
"No, thank you. We've been dying to hear what happened in that Church." Rias' tone was much like his. Severe, strict, uncompromising.
"I know about much as you do. I got a call from Raynare an hour ago, telling her to get my ass to that Church. Blasted through, saw them captured. Decided to level the place." Issei simply answered as he sat back.
Nodding to Raynare, she began to speak.
"Red, what did you tell your Peerage about the agreement?" Forming a tick on her forehead, this Fallen Angel really had no proper decorum but Rias understood that there were times and places for everything.
"Just about all they needed to know."
"Good, that makes things easier," Raynare announced to the group.
"As we agreed, I'd call Issei when they'd start the ritual. Donasheek found out, he overpowered me and my friends. I gave Issei the call. And the White Dragon saved us all." Issei sighed when he heard that line.
"There you have it," Issei said as he looked at Rias. The Devil Lady crossed her arms.
"As per the agreement, I have turned a blind eye to this predicament and now, you will help me when I need it." Issei knew that part.
"There remains one last thing. What are you going to do now with these Fallen and Asia Argento?"
Raynare shrugged on that matter.
"Far as the high-ups are concerned, we are written off. Basically, we would need a neutral and powerful faction to ensure survival. Issei here, is our best bet." Crossing her arms, the Fallen Angel would speak for her turn and would not go out because of decorum.
"Thank you, Raynare. I believe that would be the best course. I'll do the same with Asia. For now." Issei knew that it wouldn't be for long before the Church would track him and Asia down. Despite his immense power, there wasn't enough influence to keep someone which such a powerful [Sacred Gear] as Asia safe.
But he could talk about that later. Not after a night like this one.
"While that appears to be a good course, I do believe that I am Overseer of this town. Therefore, I'd like it if we could keep an eye on you." Issei turned to Raynare who sighed.
"Well, we are beggars. Therefore, we can't be choosers. What do you have in mind, Red?"
"My name is Rias Gremory. I would appreciate it if you could use that name." A small leakage of power came out of her hair. Issei just raised his arm and showed it to her.
"Not in my house. I'd like to keep this place intact."
The threat of Issei fighting was enough to calm everyone down.
"Very well then, Rias," Raynare stressed her name.
"What do you have in mind?"
"Transfer to our school. Your appearance could easily fool others. And as I and Sona rule the school, we can easily transfer you in." Raynare looked back to Issei. Basically, he was her boss now.
"Issei?"
"I got in the school as well. And if you insist, very well, Rias. We can do as you asked. Although, we'll need to discuss it with your friends." Raynare nodded to him.
"It shouldn't be an issue. But please make it so that I'm in Issei's class." Rias sighed when she heard that.
"Well, that should be doable. For now, Issei, I expect you and the Fallen back. Now, about Asia Argento?"
"Rias-senpai, we all had a long night. And speaking of her," Issei's head turned to Asia who gave a shy wave to the group. Rias just waved back at her with a gentle smile.
"I think we all need some cool-down time. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's late. And I want to sleep. Do you need anything else?"
Rias shook her head. Issei really began to find her beautiful. Not that it was a huge shock. Might be his lack of sleep.
"No. I think we got all we need. Good night."
"Good night." Issei simply said back as they left through a magical circle. Looking back at Raynare, the Fallen Angel allowed her legs to give out and she draped over Issei. Asia joined the two. She gave the Dragon one strong hug.
"That was horrifying." Raynare blurted out while Asia gave fervent nods in agreement.
"Ah, you grow used to that. But are you sure, you want this?"
"Yes!" Both women shouted which caused Issei to chuckle.
"Very well. Now, I don't know about you two but I need some sleep. Given the fact that my bed is occupied." Asia gave a shy blush.
"Why don't you take the couch? And I'll be sleeping on."
"The ground?" Raynare asked in disbelief.
"No. I don't want that either." Asia joined the Fallen.
"You seriously want to sleep with me on the couch?" Issei asked as he was prepared to act the perfect gentleman.
"Yes!" Both were a hint too eager. But Issei could humor them.
Why they would take him as their body pillow, Asia's head on the right shoulder, while Raynare took the left one as Issei had wrapped his arms around their bodies. There were worse ways to sleep. Issei guessed that last night would be the last time he would ever sleep without women in his bed.
Not that Issei complained.
Well, this was one ride. It's a bit fast on the story but there wouldn't be a reason to take it easy. The first bits in DxD are always the hardest ones but now, we can finally focus on the funnier bits with Rias and her Peerage.
You can all guess what Rias would need help for. We also got some other fun times planned with the girls here.
January proved to be one hell of a month for me. Going to Turkey, coming home, getting sick with covid and recovering from that illness, being inside in quarantine.
While it proved to be a really good month for writing, I long for normality. For normal weeks, for normal days. Either way, the schedule is looking good. Thank you all again for the support that I have received from this fic.
Saluut.
