Ah shit here we go again. Time to see what will happen to Issei in this chapter. Hope you enjoy and please leave your comments, both positive and negative. They all help me make this story better.

Familiar forest

" Hey Gin, are you sure about this? Those mimic's could still be out here along with other dangerous creatures." said tanken as he walked behind gin who was simply walking around looking for something.

" Please, you think there is something more dangerous in here other than one of those mimics?" asked gin rhetorically.

" Dragon King tiamat." replied tanken.

" that was a rhetorical question. And dont worry im not planning on going anywhere near a dragon. Besides we didn't see or sense her when we arrived so we should be fine. That and I doubt that the girls would have us go to a place where we couldn't defend ourselves." said gin climbing up a tree to see the area around him.

Stopping at the bottom of the tree tanken took a second to think about what his friend said. " I guess you're right, and if anything does happen I can just teleport us out. But the girls might get suspicious if we show up with cuts and scrapes." said tanken thinking about what could happen.

" don't worry, when we find something, only I will fight it. Given the ability I got from the mimic egg does damage and heals me with the life force I take." said gin climbing down.

" Wait, you didn't tell us that earlier, how do you know it can do that?" asked tanken.

" I don't know. It seems the longer I have power the more I learn about it on an instinctual level. Now follow me, I found my prey." said gin.

" Dude, that just sounded wrong," said tanken.

" Whatever, just come on," said Gin with a sigh as he started walking in the direction of his prey.

As the two slowly came to a small hill, gin had lowered his stance as they could see a creature eating another creature. Hiding behind some trees on the hill, both boys could see that the creature they were hunting was some type of wolf with all white fur, except for a yellow stripe down its back. " Gin, do you know what that is?" asked tanken.

" I think I do. In one of the books it had something that looked like that. It was called a storm wolf. They have lightning powers apparently." said gin preparing himself to fight the wolf.

" Hey Gin, I don't think you can take this thing. Let's look for something easier." said tanken worried for his friend.

" No way, if I keep trying to look for easy prey then I will never get the power I need." said gin charging out from behind the tree, surprising tanken.

Hearing the charging boy, the wolf looked up from its meal and bared its fangs in a threatening display. Not backing down at the display, gin activated his limit breaker sacred gear feeling the strength and power flow through him and with that power he lunged at the wolf. Seeing gin lunge at the wolf, tanken was worried that the wolf would do something unexpected and hurt gin.

Coming within striking range of the wolf, gin pulled his fist back before throwing it forward to hit the wolf but was shocked when the wolf dodged to the side avoiding the strike. Landing on the ground, gin quickly turned to the wolf to attack again, but wasn't ready when the wolf lunged towards him and tried to bite his head off. In a swift motion that was a combination of pure survival instincts and a ton of luck, gin grabbed the upper and lower jaw of the wolf just inches from his head. Unfortunately his luck ran out when the weight of the wolf and pressure from its lunge forced him to the ground with the wolf continuing to try and bite down on his head along with using its claws to dig into gin's body. Feeling the pain, gin tried to think of a plan quickly but still having bad luck on his side, gin began to get electrocuted by the wolf who now had a field of static electricity coming off of it.

Feeling intense pain from the creature attacking him, gin couldn't think of anything other than holding back the wolf's jaws and the pain in his body. That was until the wolf was forced to stop its electric field when a black dagger was thrown into its back leg. Hearing the wail of pain from the wolf snapped gin out from his pain induced tunnel vision and allowed him a second of thought, along with being able to hear tanken yelling.

" USE YOUR OTHER SACRED GEAR!" yelled tanken as he threw another dagger at the wolf hitting its back.

Hearing the words of his friend, gin nearly let go of the wolf's jaw to smack his forehead for how dumb he was. He had completely forgotten about his other sacred gear. Activating the life drain from the mimic, gin began to feel his body healing and the wounds he got close. As he took more and more life from the wolf, he could feel the creature slowly put less and less strength into its bite, until the wolf was barely squeezing its jaw shut. Releasing the wolf and making it to his feet, gin could see the wolf that once had a strong healthy body slowly back away with what looked like a heavily malnourished body. Walking closer to the weakened wolf, gin for some reason had a strange sensation running through his body, as if he could feel his sacred gear pulling at the soul of the wolf to take its power. This feeling gin got felt like a drug high making him have a sadistic grin on his face, wanting to feel this sensation again.

Coming within arms reach of the weakened creature, gin reached out his hand to kill the wolf, who in a last ditch effort to make space tried to bite gin's hand but had its jaws pushed away as gin dashed forward and grabbed the wolf by its head. Wrapping his arms around the head of the wolf and lifting it up high enough to get its front two feet off the ground, gin began to twist the creatures head feeling the sensation grow with every passing second until the forest went silent with a resounding crack as the wolfs neck was broken and its life ended.

Hearing the crack tanken was slightly disturbed, but when he saw his friends face that looked to be in a state of pure bliss with little to no injuries on his body, he became happy for gin seeing that he now had more power and got stronger. Walking over to him, Tanken put a hand on the gin's shoulder. " Hey, are you ok? Is the sacred gear doing that burning feeling again?" asked tanken.

" No, it doesn't burn. It feels ….. Calm…. Peaceful … relaxing." said gin slowly coming down from what could only be described as pure full body bliss.

" well good to hear. Must only burn the first time you use it. So what did you get from the wolf?" asked tanken curious about what abilities his friend got.

Coming off his high gin could feel the abilities set into his body and the natural instincts informing him of what he has obtained. Holding his hands close to each other, electricity started to jump from one finger to another and a field of electricity developed around gin. " It seems I can only make a field with this. No firing off lightning strikes like tento." said gin.

" Is that all you got?" asked tanken thinking that's not a lot for the amount of effort that was put into getting it.

" nope." said gin, turning to a tree and taking a deep breath. This confused tanken until gin let out a roar that sounded like thunder, sending out a concentrated pressure wave of force that shattered and uprooted the tree and some of the trees around it.

" Good thing that wolf didn't do that to you." said tanken wiping away a bead of sweat from his forehead.

" ya that probably would have hurt a little." said gin with a little bit of dry humor.

" So what now. You got another creature's abilities. Is it time to go back to the others?" asked tanken.

" leave no way. I am just getting started, I want more." said gin.

As the two continued to talk about what they would do next, neither of them notices a black ooze like liquid dripped from the side of a tree. As the ooze dripped more and more, a line of black ooze ran down the tree as if to split the tree in half. Once the ooze stopped and the line was solid it began to separate exposing a black inky space where the insides of a tree should be, but as the opening got bigger a clawed hand came out.

" Come on man, didn't the girls tell you not to get too hungry for power with your sacred gear? Me bringing you here was already going against that." said tanken.

" Oh please, they don't have to know. If anything I will say that I was attacked by some creatures and had no choice." said gin.

" man i don't want to get in …" tanken was cut off when he was tackled to the ground by gin.

" gin, what the….. Hell." said tanken as he saw the reason for gin tackling him. Standing in the spot that he was originally was a 8 foot tall humanoid creature that looked emaciated, with long sharp claws on its hand, one of which is planted deep into the ground where tanken was standing. As the two boys made it to their feet they both got a better look at the creature in front of them, and the thing that stood out the most was its head that looked too round and big for it to be normal and it had no eyes, ears, and no nose, just a mouth. Pulling its claw out of the ground the creature rose to its full height and turned its body fully towards the two and it was at this moment that the two boys realizing that this was not a normal creature as its head opened up like a flower with rose of teeth pointing at the two boy ready to eat them.

" WHAT THE HELL!" yelled tanken freaked out by the creature's mouth head.

" Hey tanken get use out of here." said gin, but before tanken could even think about teleporting them away the creature pounced at the two causing them to dodge in opposite directions so as to not get crushed. Coming to a stop, tanken quickly threw some daggers at the creature but only two landed and they only cut the creature's top layer of skin.

" Hey tanken, I don't think we are getting out of here while that thing is still alive." said Gin, running away from the creature to think of a plan.

" agreed, we're going to have to kill this thing. Looks like you get to have the powers of a rather scary monster." said tanken manifesting two more daggers in his hands.

Hearing the noises of its prey the creature roared at them before charging at gin, given he was closer to the creature and had the strongest scent on him. Seeing the incoming monster gin prepared himself to fight, activating his electric field and preparing his life drain ability in his hands. Coming within striking distance, gin moved to the side of the creature attempting to dodge its attack, but severely underestimated the creature's reach, when a massive clawed hand impacted his side and sent him crumbling to the ground a couple dozen feet away from the monster. About to lunge at its downed prey the monster was forced to stop when a knife was plunged into its back followed by one to its side. Swinging its arm to hit whatever was stabbing it, the creature missed and hit nothing, but had two more knives stabbed into its inner thighs and one in its stomach. Swinging in front of itself, the creature again hit nothing but air, until it felt something on each shoulder followed by two knives being stabbed into its head flaps.

Jumping off the creatures shoulders and landing close to gin was tanken who was sweating and breathing heavily. " Hey man, come on get up, I think I hurt it. But I doubt it's done." said tanken, helping gin to his feet.

As gin made it to his feet he happened to look up and gained a look of disappointment. Seeing the look tanken was about to ask what was wrong but was stopped when he heard metal clanging onto the ground. Turning around, both boys could see the creature standing there with tankens dagger slowly being pushed out of its body. Once the knives fell out of the creature's skin the wounds would close quickly after. " shit." said tanken feeling like this situation was hopeless until he felt a hand on his shoulder.

" hey look. It may be regenerating, but it's acting sluggish. And it's not just continually attacking. It needs to heal before attacking. That means it has a limit." said gin with a grin on his face at the thought of gaining that power.

" You say that, but I have done most of the damage to this thing while you have been laying on the ground." said tanken, agitated at the fact that it was Gins fault for him being there.

" don't worry, this time both of us will attack at the same time, and I will use the abilities that I got from the wolf to attack it." said gin preparing to attack the creature that was almost fully healed.

" Fine, but if I die. I'm coming back to haunt you." said tanken.

" Alright, let's go." said gin dashing towards the creature with tanken teleporting to one of the knives at the creature's feet and slicing at its legs to slow it down. Teleporting away from the creature just in time to avoid a clawed hand grabbing the area he was in. While the creature's head was down after the cuts, gin took advantage and activated his electricity field and limit breaker to deliver a devastating double hammer fist to the top of the creature's head. As the creature fell to the ground due to the force of the attack, tanken used this opportunity to teleport next to the creature and implant multiple of his knives into the creature's back.

Unfortunately while doing this, he didn't see the creature's arm move towards him, back handing him away and getting to its feet. As the creature got up and was starting to recover from the stab wounds on its back, gin got behind it and jumped on its back keeping his electricity field on but also activating his life drain power to both heal himself and drain the creature. Feeling its prey on its back, the creature started thrashing around trying to get gin off with its claws, scratching gin a couple of times but it didn't do much given that gin was healing from each attack faster then the creature can produce them.

While the creature was distracted by gin, tanken managed to recover from his attack and charged back towards the creature, slicing at its body and legs doing his best to hit the creature's joints and tendons to slow it down or immobilize it. Being stabbed, slashed, and feeling its own life being drained made the creature enraged and sent it into a blind fury. Throwing all its weight into a swing of its large hand at tanken, who used his knives to block the attack, stabbing into the palm of the creature's hand. Unfortunately due to its rage the creature kept pushing its weight onto tanken pushing him onto the ground with the creature swinging its other claw at tanken. Moving one of his hands, he blocked the claw but due to this both of his hands were pinned by the creature, who was slowly lowering its head down, opening its head to bite the tanken.

Seeing what the creature was about to do, gin wrapped his arms around the creatures neck and did his best to pull the head back but all it did was slow the creatures head. As the seconds passed the creature's head inched closer and closer to tanken, ready to bite tankens head right off with all of its teeth. " GIN DO SOMETHING. FAST!" yelled tanken struggling under the creature's weight.

Thinking fast, gin moved his body to be next to the creature's head and looked at tanken. " I hope this works." said gin putting his head next to the creature's head looking away from the tanken and releasing a massive thunderous roar at the creature's head blasting off half the head of the creature and throwing both gin and tanken away from the creature.

With his ears ringing, Tanken looked around seeing gin slowly getting to his feet, and he could also see the creature that almost bite his head off get to its feet with its head slowly regenerating. ' this thing is unstoppable.' thought tanken feeling his arms shake at the thought of the creature continuing to attack. But as this thought hit him the creature reached out its hand to grab tanken but stopped and fell to the ground. All movement and signs of life ended, even the skin that was regenerating stopped its healing and laid motionless.

" tanken, you ok." said gin, holding a hand out to tanken who took it and was helped to his feet.

" we.. we killed it." said, tanken in shock that they actually killed the creature.

" That's not all." said gin, getting tankens attention as he raised his arm that had some scratches on it from being thrown, that were healing themselves.

" you got the things regeneration?" asked tanken.

" ya, and more. That thing could open portals on surfaces that can go just about anywhere it has been before." said gin starting to feel the euphoric sensation again from his sacred gear.

" Holy shit." said tanken in shock.

" ya. But let's get out of here. I'm tired and need a shower." said gin feeling the high of the sacred gear but not to the extent as he did when he killed the wolf.

" agreed." said tanken teleporting himself back to the hyoudou household with gin opening a black portal under him and jumping into it leading to him to fall through the other end of the portal which happened to be on the ceiling of the library. Landing on his feet next to tanken, gin smiled.

" now that is fucking cool." said gin with a smile.

Transylvania, alucards castle

As the setting sun bathed the castle in its orange glow, both issei and luna could be seen soundly asleep as the darkness around them slowly grew. As the darkness moved around the castle it slowly approached issei, coming within inches of issei, until he jolted awake.

"What…. Where…" said issei looking around him.

" emmmm…. Five more minutes." said Luna, still somewhat sleepy.

' oh that's right, we killed alucard and passed out. But what was that feeling?' thought issei.

" Hey where are we?" asked Luna, waking up.

" We're still in alucards castle," said issei.

Hearing that name Luna woke up fully and jumped up looking around at the destroyed castle and withering bodies of the vampire spawns slowly turning to dust. " he really is dead. It isn't some dream." said Luna, feeling the weight of everything that happened up to that point be lifted off her shoulders. As the full weight of having her family's killer be vanquished, Luna started to tear up knowing that she had avenged her family.

" Luna, are you ok?" asked Issei, seeing the girl start to tear up.

Wiping away the tears from her eyes, Luna turned to look at Issei with a big smile on her face. " Never better," said luna.

" That's good to hear." said issei.

" yep i am free to go wherever i want, and see what i please." said luna looking out the hole in the castle wall.

" ya i guess you are." said issei felt a bit sad, even though he had no idea why.

Hearing the tone of issei's voice luna turned around and smiled at issei. " So where are we going to see first?" asked Luna, surprising issei.

" What do you mean?" asked issei.

" Well I thought that after all we have been through, maybe we could travel together," said luna.

" Are you sure you want to come with me?" asked Issei, confused.

" What, don't you want me to?" asked Luna, putting her hands on her hips and looking at Issei with a small glare in her eyes.

" no no. That's not what I meant. I meant that i don't really know where i am going and you already said you wanted to see certain places and i don't know when i would go to said places." said issei putting his hands up in defense of his actions.

" While I did have some places in mind that I wanted to go to. It doesn't mean i have to go there right now, i can go see them with you whenever you do go there. Besides, I think it would be more fun to travel with someone you trust." said Luna, blushing a little at the end.

" i…. I…. i mean if that's what you want then i would be happy to travel with you." said issei, gaining a small smile on his face.

" yaa. So where to?" asked luna.

Before Issei could say something he heard draig say something. ' Do you have any ideas?' asked issei.

' Yes, go to these coordinates that I just shared with you. It's a beautiful place to go and a place I would like to see again,' said draig.

" I think I just thought of a place. Come on." said issei held his hand out to luna, who quickly took it being swallowed by the shadows that pooled around issei until all that was left in the castle was the dust from dead vampires.

Gremory domain

" Finally, we are actually done." said azazel, leaning back in his chair.

" I agree with azazel, this has taken quite a bit of time," said Odin, stroking his beard.

" oh come on now, it wasn't that long of a meeting." said serafall with a smile on her face.

" It took the whole day," said azazel.

" True but it was needed to know the progress of repair for the other factions and to set up our world class rating game," said sirzechs.

" I do think we could have given it a better name," said zeus.

" hey we played a fair game to see who would name it. Don't be a sore loser over the fact I won." said azazel.

" Yes, you did win fair and square brother. But naming it the azazel cup. Isn't that a little too prideful, don't you think?" asked michael.

" I think it is great. An awesome name for an awesome game." said azazel with a smirk on his face.

" Please no puns, azazel. I get enough of those from my valkyries that like to tease Rossweisse." said Odin, rubbing his head.

" Well, if this is the end of the meeting, I have to be making my way back to Mount olympus. If i am gone for much longer hera will start thinking i am doing something bad again." said zeus.

" aw yes i must also get back to asgard. Frigg will be expecting me to help Rossweisse and the other valkyries. Plus I also need to continue helping my granddaughter train." said Odin, with a grandfatherly smile on his face.

" I understand, please tell Rossweisse I said hi and that I hope she returns to my sister in good health." said sirzechs.

" ya you two should probably leave unless you want your wives to be mad at you." said azazel with a grin, causing a shiver to run down the backs of all men that were married in the room, including shiva though no one would ever be able to tell.

" Yes, well then, hope to hear good news about the world class rating game soon." said Zeus as a lightning bolt struck him and caused him to disappear.

" I will also be off. And azazel boy, I will be looking for you soon to have that drink." said Odin as he disappeared in a swirl of crows.

" I shall leave now, given my presence is no longer needed." said Shiva receiving farewells from the remaining members as he teleported back to his domain.

Before anyone else had the chance to leave a banging could be heard on the door to the meeting room. " Come in," said sirzechs.

As the door opened a devil servant quickly walked over to sirzechs and bowed. " Lord Lucifer, a report has just come in from transylvania. Apparently one of the vampire factions sensed a large energy clash between two strong individuals. The tepes faction said it was coming from one of Dracula's childrens castles. They wish for us to help them given they sensed the presence of a dragon." said the servant.

" a dragon, transylvania. I didn't think there were any dragons there. I thought that the vampires hunted them out of the area given the richness of their blood." said serafall.

" That is true. The last dragon to leave transylvania is with tannin in the underworld. We should send a team to support as soon as possible." said sirzechs.

" But sir, all the teams we have at that level of power are out at the moment," said the servant.

" not all of them." said azazel.

" What do you mean azazel? I didn't know you keep track of the devils teams." said michael.

" I don't. I'm talking about sirzechs sister and issei." said azazel.

" ya last i checked there not doing anything and both her and my sona have been waiting for the opportunity to help." said serafall.

" Alright then, we can send them. But we will also send extras to support them." said sirzechs.

" Please know that he will have it dealt with before they can even arrive." said azazel.

" maybe. Send a message to my sister asking to support the vampires." said sirzechs to the servant.

" Actually, let me. I have been wanting to check in on the boy for a while now and this could be the only chance i can do that without Shemhazai yelling at me." said azazel getting up out of his chair.

" fine. Please tell my sister what the mission is and make sure they are alright." said sirzechs.

" will do." said azazel teleporting to the hyoudou household.

Hyoudou household

Sitting around the hyoudou household were the girls and their boyfriends minus gin and tanken. " hey have any of you seen tanken? We were supposed to practice but he hasn't shown up." asked xenovia.

" Sorry xenovia, I haven't seen him since we got back." said rias playing chess with akeno.

" I can't find gin either." said ravel walking down the stairs towards the couch.

" Ehh, interesting. Koneko, can you sense them?" asked rias.

Putting her cookies down, koneko let her ears and tails appear as she used her senjutsu to sense around her. " They are in the library." said koneko going back to eating her cookies.

" Thank you koneko." said Rias, going back to her game.

Hearing this, Xenovia went to the library to get her practice partner. As she walked into the library she could see both boys talking to each other, but she noticed that they looked like they got into a big fight. " hey tanken what happened to you? You and I were supposed to practice but you never showed up and you look like you and gin have been in a hard fight." asked xenovia.

" Oh ya. Sorry gin asked me to help him, and we ended up sparring a little." said tanken laughing nervously.

" ah you were helping gin, that makes sense. But why are you in the library?" asked xenovia confused.

" Ahh well the reason is. Ehhh." said tanken when he was interrupted by gin.

" I wanted to see if there was any information on the mimics, to see if there were any more abilities I would have gotten from my sacred gear," said gin.

" oh ok. Well it's time for us to train and gin ravel is looking for you." said xenovia walking back to the living room with gin and tanken walking behind her wiping away their nervous sweat.

As the two boys walked into the living room they saw everyone doing their own thing, but before anyone could say anything a magic circle appeared in the center of the living room. As the magic circle flashed with power all the girls stopped what they were doing recognizing the power, while all the guys started having trouble standing under the pressure of such power.

Appearing out of the magic circle with black feathers falling around him was Azazel grinning at the group in front of him. " Hey, hey. What's going on kids." said azazel, as he looked around, seeing the guys and being confused.

" azazel, what brings you here?" asked rias.

" Well it's actually because I have a mission for you guys from your brother." said azazel looking at rias.

" Oh brother has a mission for us? What does he need us to do?" asked rias.

" Well before I tell you that, would you happen to know where issei is?" asked azazel, looking around not seeing said boy.

" Sorry but we haven't seen him for the past couple days, but we just thought that he was out training or on his own mission," said akeno.

" ah ok, and who would these guys happen to be?" asked azazel looking at the boys who were still having trouble adjusting to the power radiating off his body.

" oh these are…" said Rias before being cut off by tento.

" We are their boyfriends." said tento as he and the other guys got used to Azazel's power, but were still somewhat shaking at the power.

As soon as he said this the girls all had the same reaction, they all realized that they may have made a mistake with something. On the other hand, Azazel was completely surprised. ' i must have heard him wrong, because there is no way that the girls would actually do something so dumb and evil to issei. Ya i must be going crazy because of all the paperwork.' thought azazel trying to rationalize what he just heard.

" So back to this mission that my brother wants us to do." said Rias with a little bit of sweat coming off her forehead.

" ya. Um. you guys are to go to transylvania and group up with the vampires there to investigate a power that they felt. Apparently some powerful individuals have been making a ruckus there. Report back once you guys have finished." said azazel in a daze like a machine.

" absolutely. Alright team let's get moving." said rias with everyone agreeing and joining her in the magic circle.

" Goodbye azazel." said akeno as the magic circle teleported them away, leaving azazel standing in the living room alone.

Realizing that he was alone, Azazel let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and started to think over everything he just learned. ' so the girls did something stupid or something else and ended up getting other guys who seem to like them, while at the same time issei has been missing for the past couple days. Those girls have either been charmed by one of those boys or they have been so distracted by them that they have forgotten about issei. Because if they were in the right state of mind they would know that issei doesn't do anything without telling someone and he definitely doesn't stay far away from the girls especially rias and akeno. I need more information before I come to a conclusion but I have a bad feeling that the girls have caused something bad to happen.' thought azazel thinking about everything before a terrible realization hit him.

" Wait zechs said Vali felt the juggernaut drive activate, and the girls have those guys so that could mean." said Azazel out loud to himself.

" oh no…. ISSEI!" yelled out azazel as he ran up the house's stairs as fast as he could heading straight to issei's room. Barging into the room, almost ripping the door off its hinges, Azazel looked around, seeing nothing out of the ordinary, but he could tell something was off.

" the room. It smells like a normal room. Why doesn't it smell like the girls? And the bed, there's only five pillows. Normally there is at least triple that amount." said azazel as he continued to look around the room. After looking around the room azazel didn't notice anything until he was about to leave the room, that's when he noticed a small box sitting on issei's dresser. Walking over to the dresser and picking up the box, Azazel could feel a dark energy coming off the box.

" this feels like issei's energy but tainted by darkness. What could he have put in here that has his energy and tainted it?" wonders azazel as he slowly opens the box before freezing at what he saw in the box.

" no… no its….. It's not… possible." said azazel, backing up as he dropped the box letting issei's cracked pawn pieces fall onto the floor.

As he saw the pawn pieces on the ground, Azazel started to have a small panic attack until his old governor general mentality kicked in and calmed him down as he started to think of every bit of information he had at his disposal.

' ok, so issei's pawns are out of his body which if i remember hearing correctly should kill him. But they are in this box in his room, plus vali and albion would have felt issei's death. So issei isn't dead, so this just means that something happened to issei that removed his pawn pieces. Think what could do this? Strong emotions, overwhelming power, enough to damage the evil pieces.' as azazel thought about this and investigated the evil pieces, he came to a conclusion.

' he saw the guys with the girls, which most likely triggered the juggernaut drive. This influx of power combined with however he stopped it must have overloaded the evil pieces. But even then if they were removed then he should have died given they are connected to his soul. I'm missing something here.' thought azazel looking around the room again but found nothing.

" dammit." said azazel as he moved to a different rooms having the same outcome.

" shit this is getting me no were. Ok I think issei just said the girls cheat on him, he just got out of activating the juggernaut drive and removing his pawn pieces. What would he do? Watch porn maybe, no that would just make him feel worse. But what else could he do? Wait, the training area, he could have gone there to relieve some stress and anger." said azazel to himself as he made his way to the training area.

Opening the doors to the training area azazel could see the remnants of the guys training with kiba, but nothing that said issei was there. Seeing this azazel made his way back into the elevator but before he could hit the button to go up, he had a realization. Pulling out his own key, azazel used it to make the elevator go down to the extra training level, and as the doors opened azazel was put into a state of shock at the damage done to the room and the amount of aura he could feel.

' this aura, it's a dragon's aura and these claws. Issei, I know draig said that one day you would get your own aura, but that was supposed to take centuries. But it seems that you had the same aura awakening as tiamat, which means that your aura was made out of negative emotions instead of happy ones that have accumulated over many many years.' thought azazel clenching his fists before releasing them and lowering his head.

" issei i have failed you yet again. For this i am sorry my boy. I hope when I find you, that you can forgive an old man for his foolishness." said azazel to no one as he spent a couple seconds in silence.

Looking back up, Azazel had a look of determination carved into his face. ' First things first, find issei no matter what. I also need to inform sirzech about this. Dammit you foolish girls.' thought azazel was making his way back up the elevator and back to issei's room collecting his pawn pieces and putting them back in the box.

As he was about to teleport back to the underworld he thought of something. ' shit we cant let too many people know about this. If the wrong people got this information then it could be bad, or it could cause some to go looking for him without a plan. We also can't let too many people know about these other guys' relationship to the girls.' thought azazel thinking of said people that shouldn't know about this.

" shit, he probably doesn't know everything but I would bet that Vali knows something. If he finds out about this then so would the others of his group and the chance of him or albion killing the guys increase tenfold. Ok i need to tell the leaders of the christian pantheon first then work out from there." said azazel as he made a magic circle to call multiple people.

The magic circle blinked for a little while waiting for someone to put up until. " ah azazel, did you tell my sister and…" sirzechs was cut off by azazel.

" Get the meeting room ready and make sure that there is no way information can get out of the room now," said azazel with his governor general tone.

" azazel, what is the meaning of this?" asked sirzechs, confused.

" Ah you sound like something bad happened." said serafall next to sirzechs.

" because something did. Get ajuka and meet me in the meeting room. I will get michael." said Azazel, hanging up the magic circle and not giving sirzechs or serafall any time to say something back.

Quickly making another magic circle to call michael, azazel didn't have to wait long as michael picked up. " Oh azazel, what can I do for you brother?" asked michael.

" Micheal meet me in the gremory domain meeting room now. I have some bad news and it requires utmost secrecy." said azazel, knowing exactly what to say to get Michael to the meeting room with haste.

" I will be there shortly. Do you need me to bring anything?" asked michael.

" No, just you." said Azazel, hanging up the magic circle.

Looking around the room one more time, azazel sighed and teleported himself back to the underworld.

Grigori couple hours earlier

Appearing in a magic circle was kiba standing in front of a castle-like building. ' This is where Arthur told me to meet him but why here?' thought kiba.

" Good you're here." said Arthur with Vali walking next to him.

" Vali, what are you doing here?" asked kiba.

" You said you need help with issei, didnt you? And I need help with issei myself. So we can both help each other put the pieces together to figure out what the problem is." said vali.

" Well you're right. But the main problem I have is that I don't know where Issei is and I fear that something the girls did made him run away or worse." said kiba.

" run away, and the girls did something. What did they do?" asked Arthur, confused.

" I shouldn't say as rias's knight but issei is my best friend and he needs me now. Rias had the thought in her head that her relationship with issei could be better if she knew what she would have to do later down the line. She believed that if she got more experience then her relationship with issei would be even better, so she went and got with another guy and started dating him. After starting this some of the other girls were told about this plan and they did it as well. But it would seem that they got caught up in the relationships they made with other guys and neglected issei." Kiba was about to continue but was stopped by both Vali and arthur. Vali had a terrifying aura coming off of him and his face held a rage that didn't look to be all his, and kiba could feel the rage of albion coming from vali. But Arthur was the one that really cut him off by grabbing his shoulders and yelling a question to him.

" What new boyfriends? Did my sister do this as well? I thought she was with karoka." said Arthur, losing his composer for a second.

" To my knowledge it was only rias, akeno, asia, koneko, irina, xenovia, and ravel that got new boyfriends. Rias told me that your sister was still with kuroka in kyoto." said kiba getting Arthur to let go of his shoulders.

Recomposing himself Arthur put a hand on Vali's shoulder to get him to calm down as well. " Sorry about that, continue." said Arthur with vali not saying a word and losing his face of rage.

" yes. Well once I returned from our training I was introduced to the new guys and to be honest, they aren't the best of choices they could have made. But each one of them possess a sacred gear, with two of them having guardian beast sacred gears, and one of them has two sacred gears. But once I started to train them and look around the house I couldn't find Issei no matter where I looked and nobody had seen him, not even people outside the house." said kiba.

" So they had a dumb idea and it is coming back to bite not just them but everyone that issei cares about too." said Vali with his aura leaking out of him dividing the area around him causing parts to disappear.

" Well for now we should prioritize finding issei and making countermeasures against these new sacred gears. You did say that two of them had guardian beast sacred gears, right?" asked arthur.

" Yes, why do you ask?" replied kiba.

" because i don't know if you heard but there was someone who also had a guardian beast sacred gear. They had the sacred gear of the black turtle guardian beast, but they were found dead by a shrine maiden." said arthur.

" dead. But wasn't the turtle sacred gear supposed to have the highest defenses out of all sacred gears." said kiba.

" yes but that is not the most interesting and terrifying part," said arthur.

" It's the fact that when the angel checked the sacred gear system it said that the sacred gear still had a host and hadn't gone back into circulation." said Vali slowly calming down.

" Wait, are you trying to say that someone took his sacred gear? But I thought that the only artifacts that could do that were destroyed." said kiba.

" Yes, other than the one azazel has, all the others have been destroyed and the one that azazel has is in pieces sealed away in separate places that only he can open. So it is something else that did this." said vali.

" This isn't good. Wait, you don't think that issei could be in the line of danger from this?" asked kiba.

" To be honest there is a chance now that he is not with you guys, but he is still one of the strongest sacred gear users out of all of us." said vali.

" But we should still find him if not just to make sure he is safe from this possible danger, but also so that kuroka and le fay don't go crazy and try and find him, making things worse," said arthur.

" agreed. Kiba, I need you to remain with your group and stay by the house just in case he comes back but also keep an eye out for anything that could point us in the direction of issei." said vali.

" will do, please keep me updated on any information you find on issei. And if you do find him, tell me and I will help bring him back." said kiba with resolve burning in his eyes.

" will do. But for now i need to go see azazel." said vali with kiba and arthur acknowledging him and got back to the castle-like building with vali heading towards the fallen angel headquarters.

Arriving at the building and walking in, Vali could see the same attendant that stopped him from talking to Azazel, staring at him. " Sorry but…" the fallen angel couldn't finish his statement when Vali yelled at him.

" shut up. I don't care what you or Shemhazai says i am seeing azazel right now." said vali fully releasing albions aura terrifying the fallen angel.

" Vali, please stop." said a voice behind him.

Turning around, Vali could see Shemhazai standing there with multiple other fallen angels standing behind him, seeming to be ready to fight. " Shemhazai, you're not stopping me. I need to see azazel now." said vali.

" I'm not here to stop you. I am here to tell you he is not here, he is at the gremory domain in a meeting." said Shemhazai with vali turning down his aura and walking towards the exit door, but before he could walk out he was stopped when Shemhazai said something.

" I hope that whatever is so urgent that you would threaten everyone here is resolved quickly and with the best outcome." said Shemhazai looking at Vali, who didn't say anything. Continuing his walk out of the building, Vali made his way to the gremory domain.

Gremory domain

Appearing out of his magic circle was azazel holding the box he got from issei's house. Looking around, azazel could see sirzech, serafall, ajuka, and michael, but he also saw some people he wasn't expecting to see. Standing next to sirzechs was grayfia Lucifuge, and next to michael was odin surprising azazel but not as much as when he saw vali leaning against one of the walls. " Vali, Odin this is." Azazel was cut off.

" azazel no matter what you say i'm not leaving this room." said vali glaring at azazel.

" It seems that the young white dragon has some anger at you, azazel." said Odin, chuckling.

" Vali this is a meeting for the leaders to discuss an important matter that can't be." Azazel was cut off again.

" This meeting is about issei." said Vali, getting everyone's attention.

" what. Azazel is this true?" asked sirzechs.

" Yes it is." said azazel with everyone being shocked.

As he said this sirzechs commanded that the room be sealed and that no one is to enter the room until they left no matter what. " azazel, if this is about issei and it is bad news then you need to tell me everything right now." demanded sirzechs with grayfia putting a hand on her husband's shoulder to calm him down but also wanting to know everything.

" Here I was just about to leave after asking if Rossweisse's Valkyrie school could open up here. But if there is bad news regarding the red dragon boy then i think i need to stay." said odin taking a seat.

" Fine, then let's get this started. Ajuka i need you to be honest about the evil pieces, none of this of this hidden function stuff and self discovery bullshit. Got it." demanded azazel.

Looking at azazel ajuka could see that behind his eyes of worry were the eyes of the governor general that azazel used to be back during the war of the three factions. " No secrets, I will tell you everything you need to know. Just ask." said ajuka.

" Thank you. Now i need everyone to remain calm after i reveal what i know." said azazel

"Azazel, you're worrying me. If this is about issei then you need to tell us now." said serafall.

Not saying anything, Azazel put the box he had on the table and pushed it towards ajuka. " What is this?" asked ajuka to azazel who remained silent.

Opening the box ajuka looked into it and had a face of shock. " this, this, this. This shouldn't be possible." said ajuka.

Reaching into the box, ajuka pulled out the broken and powerless pawn pieces, shocking everyone in the meeting room. " azazel where and how did you get these?" asked ajuka using his power to analyze the pawn pieces.

" I found that at issei's house next to his bed when I was looking for him," said azazel with a stone face.

" wait looking for issei. Does that mean he wasn't there when you saw my sister?" asked sirzechs concerned.

Taking a deep breath, Azazel started to explain what he saw and knew at the moment, going into detail so as to not have to repeat himself later.

Somewhere in the world

Appearing out of a shadow on a hill was Issei and Luna looking over a valley with a lake in the middle of it. " beautiful." said Luna, looking around the area.

' Hey draig where did you have me travel too?' asked issei.

Using issei eyes to see the land around him, left draig in a state of bliss and happiness. 'Draig?' asked Issei again.

" sorry partner i was just taking in the view. It has been many many years since i have been here." said draig with nostalgia in his voice.

"And where is here, might I ask?" asked Issei one more time.

" Welcome to the land I used to rule over and my once home. Welcome to Wales, a country apart of the United kingdoms. The land I earned my name in." said draig, slightly shocking issei who realized that he was in draigs home land.

' I see what you had me do. You had me bring you home.' thought issei to draig.

" Yes, I apologize, but I wanted to see it once more," said draig.

' you have nothing to apologize for. It's an honor to see your home.' said issei.

" ha ha. Enough of this soft stuff. Let us explore." said draig.

" Yes, it is a beautiful place. This is Wales, a country a part of the United Kingdoms. It's also the home of d-draig the red dragon emperor. My friend." said issei whispering the last part to himself, but Luna could easily hear him.

" Your friend? How are you friends with a being like that?" asked luna.

" Ah, that's right, I didn't tell you. I am the wielder of the boosted gear, one of the longinus class sacred gears. It holds the soul of draig and i can talk to him. We have become good friends." said issei seeing the amazement in luna's eyes.

" Yes, the great red dragon emperor stands by your side. You may now bask in my glory." said draig in a joking tone.

' i think that is the first time i have ever heard you poke fun at how overly powerful beings demand praise.' thought issei to draig.

" Of course, what need do I have of others praising me? I know I am great and that is all that matters." said draig with pride radiating off of him.

' ah so this is that dragons pride thing. Got it.' thought issei sweat dropping.

" So cool. So wait, are you talking to him right now? What is he saying? What's it like? Can he hear me? Please tell me." said luna rattling off questions left and right.

" hahaha. Yes he can hear you. But at times I will say that having a person in your head everyday might be a little weird when it comes to having private moments." said issei with a slight blush on his face.

" Ahh so you don't get to have any alone time with a girlfriend or wife. You will always have someone watching and seeing what you're doing." said Luna with a thoughtful look, but that look was quickly changed when she looked at Issei who had a dark and ominous look on his face.

" oh no, issei." said draig as he could see the darkness in issei's heart grow just a little more. ' issei at this rate if we ever see those boys. You will be filled with rage and you will slaughter them. And with your aura awakened that rage would make the juggernaut drive look like a simple joke. Please, I hope you can find a way to lessen the darkness around your heart somehow.' thought draig until.

" issei is there something wrong? Did i say something that upset you?" asked Luna, putting her hand on Issei's shoulder.

Feeling her hands warmth, issei snapped out of his dark look and looked at luna. " ah. No. im fine. Just a bad memory of a woman." said issei looking away from luna.

" Oh, I'm sorry. But in my opinion those women you speak of are missing out, you seem to be a very kind and nice person. I don't see what they would have seen to be mean to you. Well I hope being here doesn't make you unhappy." said Luna, putting her hands behind her back and looking at Issei with a cheeky grin on her face.

Seeing that look and feeling the reaction from issei's heart, draig could see the darkness that had been growing slowly, come to a stop and disappear slightly. ' thank you young miss. You may be the key to helping heal this heart covered in darkness.' thought draig.

Seeing her look, issei was slightly taken aback. But developed a slight smile on his face." not at all. I think it is quite nice having you here. Traveling is always more fun with others." said issei looking out at the land before him, missing a blush that appeared on Luna's face.

While he was looking at the land, Issei could see a dust cloud appearing in a forested area. Changing his eyes to dragon eyes, issei increased the distance he could see and magnified his vision. Looking to the dust cloud, Issei could see armored men on horses chasing something, as he focused his eyes widened.

Seeing this Luna had a confused expression." Issei what is it?" asked Luna, confused as to why Issei's eyes looked the way they do and why he had a shocked look on his face.

But issei didn't react to her question but did say something. " a wyvern." said issei under his breath.

" what!" exclaimed Luna, snapping Issei out of his state.

" sorry. I was just shocked that there was a wyvern here and that it was being chased by people on horses." said issei, still shocked.

" Wait, a wyvern chased by people. Why?" asked luna.

" I don't know. It's not a normal thing for people to even stand up to a wyvern without sacred gears, or special weapons. But it's even weirder for a wyvern to run from people who stand up to it. Somethings not right." said issei thinking of what it could be.

" well should we take a look. If you said they were chasing it. Then it could be that they were hunting it. If we get close enough I can see what is happening." said luna.

" Normally I wouldn't want to get close to that but I myself am also interested in what is going on. But if anything bad happens I'm getting us out of there." said issei.

With both of them in agreement they made their way closer to the dust cloud. Moving through the trees, Issei was slightly surprised at the ease he felt running through the forest and how Luna was doing the same. ' Must be our bestial natures kicking in.' thought issei.

As they approached they slowed down and started to come in quietly so as to not announce their presence. Coming up to a large bush and looking over it both of them could see a group of maybe 10 to 12 men in medieval dragon looking armor with weapons ranging from spears and swords, to bows and arrows and greatswords. " that armor, it looks like a thinner version of my balance breaker armor." said draig to issei.

' ya. And now that I'm closer, those weapons and armor feel weird to me.' thought issei with draig agreeing.

" I was right, it's a hunt." said Luna, getting Issei's attention. " If you look, this is a kill zone. They force the creature into this area to kill it easier. They have rope on some of those horses to hold it down and their weapons are varied so as to have a weapon for close and far range. But it looks like some of these guys don't know what is going on like it's their first time, while those two in the back haven't moved since they got here and seem to have the most ornate armor and weapons. They must be the leaders." said Luna with a serious look on her face.

Turning back to the action, Issei watched and listened to what was happening.

" hey hey, get those ropes around its wings!" yelled one of the men who was holding a spear trying to hit the wyvern.

" Hurry up, these ropes won't hold!" yelled another man as his horse was pulling the wyvern down along with two others with ropes attached to the saddles.

" archers fire!" yelled one of the two men in the back as four arrows went flying towards the wyvern, and to Issei's surprise the arrows pierced the scales of the wyvern.

As the arrows continued, Issei saw some of them had rope attached to them. As they pierced the wyvern's wing the men started to pull the wing to the opposite side of its body until the wyvern fell to the ground. As soon as it hit the ground most of the men dismounted their horses and started to attack the downed beast. But as the men got close to the wyvern they weren't ready for the beast to get up and swing its tail hitting a couple of the men. As the rest of the men composed themselves they looked to the wyvern but were frozen in shock when the chest of the wyvern started to glow, with the glow slowly rising up its neck.

" breath incoming!" yelled the men as the wyvern unleashed a wall of flames at the men, completely incinerating two men. Seeing this issei was about to jump into action but was stopped by luna and a noise he heard.

" no!" yelled what sounded like a female voice.

Looking to the source, issei could see one of the knights riding towards the wyvern with similar armor to the rest but slightly heavier in the chest. As the knight approached the wyvern she threw a spear she had in hand at the wyvern to get its attention and to allow the other men to get away. Getting close to the wyvern the horse stopped in fear refusing to listen to its rider as the wyvern roared.

While trying to get the horse to listen, the female knight didn't see the wyvern lunge towards her until it was almost on top of her. Jumping off the horse the female knight just barely missed getting a chunk bitten off but the horse was not so lucky. Coming to a stop the female knight drew a sword from her side and dashed at the wyvern who tried to to hit her with its tail but missed when the knight jumped over the attack.

Seeing this the wyvern started to flap its wings that were finally free from the ropes to get into the air but was stopped when the female knight made it to the wyverns wing and took a swing at it. To Issei's and Luna's shock the sword started to glow with a yellow light. As the blade made contact with the wyverns wing, it cut right through it like a knife through paper, the only thing that stopped her from cutting the wing off was the wyvern already getting into the air but was soon forced back to the ground as the membrane of its wing was compromised to the point it couldnt work anymore grounding the wyvern permanently.

Writhing in pain the wyvern tried to blast fire at the knight but couldn't hit her as she would dodge and take small cuts at the wyvern until it got a lucky hit in with one of its legs sending the female knight to the ground. Getting back to her feet the female knight looked to the wyvern that was charging towards her, and prepared herself. But before the wyvern made it to the knight one of its legs gave out from the injuries it took. As it fell to the ground the female knight raised her sword with the light appearing on her sword again.

" Now's your chance!"

"Kill the beast!"

" take off its head!" yelled some of the men around her.

As she was about to swing at the creature the wyvern looked up at her causing her to freeze for a moment, but that was all it needed. Quickly raising its head sent some dust into the air the wyvern blinded the female knight and got her off balance. Once she could see again all she saw was the wyverns open mouth as a fiery light appeared from its throat.

Seeing this and hearing the sounds of concern form the surrounding men, issei's heroic heart wouldn't let him standby. Dashing out of the bushes, Issei couldn't think of something in time so he just did what he could. Slamming into the side of the female knight both of them were sent falling to the ground dodging the wyverns fire in the process.

Getting his bearings issei turned around to the wyvern lunging at him and the female knight with its mouth wide open. Quickly acting issei grabbed a spear that was on the ground and thrusted it forward. To his surprise it punctured the wyverns upper inner mouth and caused it to lunge back in pain as blood filled its mouth.

As the wyvern rode in pain, Issei prepared himself to keep fighting but had no need as the wyvern's head and body went limp and fell to the ground lifeless. Taking deep breaths, Issei didn't know what to think or do, that is until he heard the female knight start to try and get up. Turning around, Issei held out his hand to the knight who politely accepted the hand. As issei pulled the knight to her feet, her helmet that was obscuring her face from everyone fell off, revealing a beautiful and young look woman's face and unleashing a wave of long golden blonde hair that stopped at the female knights waist.

Issei was stunned at her beauty and was about to stay something but was stopped when the female knight was pulled away and a spear was pointed at his face. Once issei came back to his senses he noticed that he was surrounded by knights who were all pointing there weapons at him.

" you there. By decree of his royal highness. I am placing you under arrest and taking you into custody." said one of the two men that was watching from the back.

" wait?" asked Issei, confused. But instead of an answer he was detained with ropes and chains.

" Sir there's another." said another knight as he had Luna tied up in ropes as well.

"Luna! Get off of her!" yelled issei trying to get out of the rope and chains but to his shock they wouldn't budge.

" bring her with us. And you, get your things we need to have a word with your father." said the man pointing to the female knight that issei saved.

As issei and luna were put on horses and forced to follow the knight, both were trying to get out of there restraints but to no luck.

" I can't break the ropes. What about you?" asked luna.

" no luck here." said issei. ' These must have some special property to not break.' thought issei to himself.

As the group walked through the first they came to the edge of a mountain, and to the two's shock the men walked right through it. As they passed through, Issei noticed it was an illusion because what he saw was a landscape of beauty and wonder. An entire empire was before them hidden from the world. As issei looked around he caught a smell that was in the air and it shocked him.

' this smell i have smelt it somewhere before. it . it smells like arthur and la fay. But the only way it could be is if they were here or…' and it was at that moment issei knew where he was.

" issei where are we?" asked Luna, confused, and was even more confused when she looked at Issei who had a face of shock plastered on his face.

" it's… its… its camelot." said issei in shock.
