Chapter 36 - chapter 36

After a briefing on the days to come, the night passed and morning came rather quickly. Both Rias and Issei's peerages including Irina were standing on the top of a giant stone tower that overlooked a massive area of land that spanned for miles as they saw crops and windmills scattered across the lands. "So the sky is purple." Katase said, getting their attention.

"Do you think I was joking about that? The underworld is different from Earth." Rias said to Katase "You will get used to it after a bit." Rias turned and headed down the stairs of the tower as everyone followed her.

When they reached the bottom there wasn't any fancy fan fair and for once that was perfect. There was however one person waiting for them. "Yo Hyoudou." Looking towards the voice it was Saji of all people ready to greet them. "A country town in the underworld is a nice change compared to everything else so far."

"If I didn't know better I would say I was in the Netherlands."

"But it's such a nice place. It doesn't need to be famous." He saw the girls behind him "Is that"

"Yes" Issei knew exactly what he was referring to the three new girls.

Asia and Xenovia were looking around the town. "We may live for a long time but coming out here living here would be a nice change."

"Would it be possible for an Angel to live in the underworld?" Irina was looking up at the sky "They might let me do it."

Rias and Akeno looked at each other as they were restraining their laughter "It's far too early to be thinking about retirement."

After they were taken out of their daydream they made their way through the small town and on the opposite end there was a newly constructed building the size of the gym at Kuoh and a field next to it. When they reached the front gate there was a sign over it the normal people could read it but the other girls looked at the devil's script not sure what it was exactly. "Auros Academy" Issei said as he pointed at the letters "Because if Sitri was on it it would cause even more political discourse."

"It looks oddly familiar" Kiryuu mentioned

"I was thinking the same thing. Looks like Kuoh academy." Xenovia said thinking the same thing.

When they entered the front gate they were greeted by an all too familiar person. "Ma'am I brought them here."

"Thank you, Saji. Please return to your post." Sona said to him as he waved and left disappearing off into the school.

Sona led them inside the building and the unmistakable smell of a freshly finished building but the entrance was just as familiar as it resembled Kuoh as well. "Sona this is amazing, congratulations on all of this."

"Thank you, Rias. This is the first school of hopefully many to come. Even if the opening of the school is some time away, we were able to set up a demonstration day." She leads them down the hall and reached a door. "Let me show some of the magic." She opened a door and there was a crowd of children and their parents sitting around as listening to Sairog speaking.

"How many children are here?" Rias asked quietly not to bring attention to them.

"We have about 150 kids here right now. If we add in the adults and others were around 400."

Issei moved back towards the new girls "Just like the human world there is class warfare except it's only worse here. This is Sona's push to fix that reality."

"So glad all of you came." Sairaorg said as he held his hand directing them Rias and Issei as they all turned around "It's the Oppai Dragon and his comrades."

Sairaorg let the shit storm fly as all the kids turned around and their eyes turned to dinner palates "Oppai Dragon is here." "Switch Princess is here too." "The Dark Knight Fang is here as well. Oppai Dragon might fight."

As expected it turned to madness with only a couple of words "Please make a line." Sona tried her best but it didn't matter much.

That's when Ravel stepped for "I'll deal with this." She said to Sona "Everyone Please line up for the autograph and handshake session! There will be a line for the Oppai dragon and the Switch Princess and there not going anywhere until everybody has seen them." Ravel said taking control of the situation as she handed pens to Rias and Issei "Can somebody set up a table for us?"

As the autograph event started some questions needed to be answered "So he really is that famous?" Murayama asked, "I mean we watched a few episodes of the show but this is crazy."

"Yep" Akeno said to them "Issei is 100 percent in character all the time but Rias isn't fully comfortable with it… yet. Kiba and Koneko characters are also popular but Issei and Rias are extremely popular. And while it may be a show for kids it's a low-key romance between the two of them unlike the real one." Katase and Murayama understood that Rias and Issei were together and that nobody would ever know about it. But the fact that children looked up to Issei of all things was the idea that broke the cogs free of their constraints. Kiryuu however accepted that fact long ago knowing that Issei was an oddity. "How about this, the two of you and Issei settle this tonight. Go to him and have a talk, the cold war that's happening doesn't affect us but we would rather have it so everyone was on friendly terms." Akeno didn't leave them any room to argue as it was less of a suggestion and more of an order.

After the impromptu autograph event ended they moved outside to the field as a duel between Issei and Kiba happened for the children. When the entertainment was all done and kids returned to classes Issei headed off to a spot to relax. "Hyoudou Issei" He heard as he saw Sairaorg walked towards him with Sona and Tsubaki along with him.

"Ise thank you so much for all of that. So what do you think about all of this?" Sona asked him as she was one of the only girls outside of the normals ones he let them call him Ise.

"Nice place, getting away from the city is a nice thing that most people don't see. The children seemed happy to be here, but I'm not sure if it's because I stole the limelight as their TV hero."

"The children who are here want to take Rating game lessons but they have all been declined by other educational opportunities. All because they lack enough demonic power and are from lower-class families." Tsubaki pointed out

"Yeah, that's nothing new. This is a recurring theme in the underworld." He looked at Sona and Sairaorg "No offense you two but devil society looks way too high up on you purebloods while leaving the others to dust."

"Yes, that's why Japan is a wonderful place where everyone has the right to learn. The place where you and Tsubaki come from has better education opportunities than the Underworld." Sona wasn't denying that the underworld looked down upon others.

"Even so we need to make this school a benchmark so it spreads to every territory. Once that happens they cant stop that level of change." Sairaorg and Sona were determined to do what they could to make that a reality. "I'm teaching the kids hand-to-hand combat. If they can't use demonic power they can make up for it in physical strength or even weapons later on. This is my first time teaching so it's a new experience. As I lack demonic power so I feel a connection to teaching these kids."

"Let's do our best then. We have to overcome one obstacle at a time." Sona said having some pride in the work she had done so far.

Issei tapped his knuckles on his head as a ring appeared on his finger "You're starting to sound like a Red-headed woman that I may or may not be legally married to." They all got a laugh out of that.

But that laughter ended when they heard some screaming coming from the other side as children were gathering. When they made over to the crowd there was a tall man with grey eyes and grey hair and a youthful appearance. That man was none other than the current Rating game champion. "So this is what has all the elders in such a fuss." He said looking around as the crowd got bigger.

Sona and Sairaorg both greeted him "Thank you Diehauser for visiting us here." She said after shaking his hand.

"Yes, this is a nice school. Talented students will attend with time." Diehauser said as he looked around.

"Emperor! Emperor!" The kids were chanting as he moved over to Issei and Tsubaki shaking their hands as well.

"Having players with potential is a fun thing to look forward to" Diehauser said towards Issei after he shook his hand.

When the champ was leaving Tsubaki looked to Issei as she was still next to him "He's filming a movie tomorrow up in Agreas. And this should be a large boost for us." Only time would tell for that one but the classes were going to resume shortly after his visit.

And just like clockwork, another lesson was happening outside while others were inside shuffling kids around. Issei however was outside with his three pawns as he was giving a demonstration. "With the Knight piece." Issei took a single step as he had traveled most of the field. He waited for the kids to see where he was and then did it again moving back to where he was in front of them. "The bishop." He knelt and inhaled air and let out a massive stream of fire into the air showing off the stream of fire. "And now for the rook" He stood up and lifted a large rock and with his strength he split it into two.

Tossing half the rock he held onto the other as he looked at the kids "There's nothing wrong with being a pawn. Sure the others of Knight Rook Bishop and the all-powerful Queen are impressive. But they're not for everyone." Issei held his hand out directing the kid's attention to his assistants for the lesson. "All three of these girls are my pawns. And two of them focus on the Knight piece. But the other one is more of a bishop." The three of them waved to the crowd as they were introduced. "But Kiryuu, my Bishop like pawn is not as it seems."

Kiryuu stepped forward as she summoned her sacred gear. It was a wooden bow that had 5 flanged edges on each end as if the wind tore the wood and a red handle in the center. With the bow, she knocked an arrow that was provided by her sacred gear. They watched Issei lick his thumb and push it into the rock so it would make a spot on it and then held it up "Are you ready?" She asked

"Take aim." Issei called out as he held onto the rock. "You may fire when ready." When his mouth closed an arrow was sent flying towards the rock. It smashed into it sticking into the rock. Seeing the arrow firmly embedded into it he flipped it around so the arrow was sticking up and showed it to the kids. "Just because she is a pawn who favors the bishop doesn't mean she can use other things as well." Issei looked over at the teacher "Can you uh know…" He tilted the rock towards "The arrow"

The teacher got the hint as he reached down and pulled on the arrow removing it from the rock. The tip of the arrowhead wasn't that far into the rock and could have been easily dislodged by one of the children but that was the point. When the arrow was dislodged out of the bottom was dust and other rocks that fell. He tilted the rock once again and showed them there was a hole in the rock that spanned all the way through. "Just because she favors the bishop doesn't mean she can't use the rook at the same time." The kids were in awe that an arrow bored a hole in a bolder. "Never settle, you can always be better than what you think you are."

Issei set the rock down as the teacher clapped hearing that "Thank you very much Oppai Dragon. That was an amazing demonstration from you and your peerage." Issei waved at the kids as he and the girls left the area.

When they were out of earshot of class Katase spoke up "So how did that hole appear?"

"That's the magic of the Oppai Dragon." He turned around a gave them his goofy smile. "Anyways Kiryuu and I have to be at another class. The two of you should have some free time for a bit."

Moving from class to class was a rotating thing for all of them. Up next on their list Issei and Kiryuu joined a class already in progress."Among humans and hybrid humans, there is a special power called the Sacred Gears. This is different from the powers that devils have." It was a female teacher this time as she pointed at Saji as Issei and Kiryuu joined in. Each one of them manifested their powers as Saji was surrounded by snakes made up from Vritra. Issei had the full arm length boosted gear and Kiryuu was holding onto her bow once again showing it off.

With the Magical Knight of Sairaorg peerage Liban Crocell joining in on the demonstration he and Saji showed off a performance similar to Issei just did. The two of them showed off their powers in a friendly manner. When it ended Saji made his way over to Issei "Hey Hyoudou." He called out quietly not wanting to draw too much attention. Issei raised an eyebrow waiting for him to go on "The kids called me teacher. Even if I'm far from being one." Saji was ecstatic to be called that.

"I doubt it's because they're being nice they want to learn."

"I've realized that. And once again when I tried to teach them it makes want to become a teacher even more. The problem is I still need that promotion, then that will be my focus in life. I want to teach them so they are better people in life."

"If that's your goal then make it happen. There's nothing you cant do in this life, having a dragon also helps." Hearing that from Issei Saji scratched at his cheek not knowing what to say to that.

"Bring out the Golden Dragon!" They heard children saying. When they looked around the kids were around the church girls.

Asia held her hands out "Hold on, I can bring him out." She began the chant to summon Fafnir as the golden light shined brightly as out crawled out as the children were in awe and yet excited to see the Dragon King. "Fafnir can you play with the children."

(I can but I lack PP)

Issei couldn't help but facepalm when he heard Fafnir speak those words. "P….P…" Asia's face was as red as it could be as she reached into the bag she had with her. Xenovia and Irina watched as Asia pulled a white cotton panty and handed it to him.

Fafnir with his tongue gobbled it up and began to chew on it. "The dragon just ate a panty!" One of the kids shouted out as others said similar things. Asia felt all of the energy fall from her body as Irina and Xenovia caught her.

"Don't let it get to you Asia." Irina said as she was propping her up.

"Yeah, it will be a good experience for the kids to see a panty loving dragon." Xenovia wasn't helping as much as she thought she was.

"What…" Kiryuu said in awe of the madness that happened. "No seriously what happened."

Issei shook his head "Fafnir has a thing for Asia like he really likes her and it's downright embarrassing."

"Vritra has told me that Fafnir has changed." Saji said as they watched the dragon.

"Yeah Ddraig said the same thing, at least he understands that she is mine." Issei said as they watched as Kiryuu made her way over to the church girls to investigate the madness.

Not wanting to see what madness Fafnir was going to do the two of them headed inside leaving that mess for the girls. As they passed through the corridors there was plenty of classes in session and some of them even had kids standing outside wanting to listen in. One of the classes, in particular, was about magic. "Oh, this one is about basic magic. It's been super popular." Saji said as the two of them listened in all while getting a clear view as they towered over the kids.

Rossweisse was teaching kids magic and In the hands of some kids there was a small flame and others there was nothing. Issei saw a kid in the crowd doing his best to make a flame appear in his hands but he was struggling as was near the point of breaking down because nothing was happening. That child looked all too familiar to Issei as he had seen him at an event before. "Now this is interesting." A familiar female voice was heard as she parted the crowd of children.

"Grandmother?" Rossweisse turned her head and saw Gondur.

"Yes yes, special lecturer and whatnot." She set her bag down on the desk as she held her hand out as a small fairy appeared standing in her palm. If Issei didn't know any better he would have thought it was a case of copyright infringement, but then he remembered the Hercules movie and how Olympus was far too similar to the real thing. The fairy flew around the room looking at children. "Magic is magic, and what some may think is useless is far from it. No spell is useless; they all serve a point. A spell might not be useful today, but later on the knowledge you gained from it can be used to make something better."

Saji looked over at Issei "We can't stay here all day as much as I would like to but we got work to do." Issei nodded as they left heading off to whatever was going to be next on the list.

For them, it passed as if it was a fun day. But after a hard day's work, there was a debriefing and dinner with all of the staff. Issei however was finally going to get the end of the day bath that he wanted. When he entered the men's bath he saw that one of the containers for clothes was taken and as he thought nothing of it as it could have been Kiba, Gasper, or one of the instructors getting cleaned up. When he reached for the door and partially opened it there was a voice from the other side. "Ise is that you." It was Rossweisse's voice he heard as the door opened as he made eye contact with her. It was not the second time he had seen her in the bath but the first time alone.

He stepped inside not breaking eye contact with her as he closed the door behind him. "You do understand that this is the men's bath right? And the girl's is on the other side you know near your rooms?"

"The hot water is down and they said that I could come over here as nobody was using it." She said as she was finishing her shower.

Issei took a quick shower as she was finishing up but that's when he heard a splash. He looked out from the stall and saw that she had got into the large bath similar to the one in his house. "The bath is quite nice." She quietly said.

He ran through the essentials getting everything cleaned up as fast as he could. "I saw part of your magic lesson it was quite popular." He said as he was scrubbing away.

"It was, there was no time for breaks as we didn't have enough people."

No sooner did he step out of the shower than he asked her the magical question "Did you have fun?"

"I did yes. But there was a child in one of the classes. He wasn't able to do the basic forms of magic and I'm worried about that."

Issei sat down on the edge as he used his arms to cover his junk while she was deep in thought. "Let's change the subject then. Why Trihexa for research?"

"It's existence is a myth to the mythological. It was never confirmed or denied to have existed. But Great Red exists and is also called the Apocalypse. That's why I started to research Trihexa." She was uncomfortable as she smiled "I didn't get my answer then, but now I know that it does exist."

"Don't feel too bad about that." Issei saw waving it off as if it was no big deal "I asked Ophis if she had ever seen Trihexa. Even the dragon god has never run into it."

Rossweisse sat in silence hear that not know if she was right in her conclusion or if it was now just a matter of luck. "If they use me Ise will you kill me?" A twitch formed in his right eye hearing that abomination of words. "If they use me to hurt my friends then I would choose death. I rather it is me than my friends."

Issei slid into the water as he moved in front of her "No" He said plainly "I will not kill you." His hand reached her face as he pushed her face up and saw the pain in her eyes. "I do not kill people who can be saved."

"But Euclid will use me…" She raised her right hand

Issei grabbed hold of it and intertwined their fingers as he pulled her towards him. Her body crashed into his as her breasts sank into his chest and she laid on his shoulders. "I won't let that happen. I want first dibs to go between you and into that heart of gold of yours."

Her legs gave out hearing that as she sank back down not knowing what to say or even how to feel as he let go of her hand. Issei just confessed to her and she had no idea what to say as her brain was ruining a million miles an hour now "Thank you Ise." Was all she mustered

The door opened once again as voices were coming from the changing room. "I bet Issei is in there."

"I'll punch him if he ogles us."

The second door opened up as Xenovia was standing there with a towel over her shoulder as she saw Issei and Rossweisse. "I'm higher on that list." She said as Asia and Irina squeezed their way past Xenovia. It soon turned into Koneko and Ravel pushing past as they all ran into the bath to get their piece of Issei.

After bath time Issei was in his bedroom in the men's dorm and luckily he was alone. A knock at his door was heard "Come in" he said as the door opened when he looked to see who it was he saw Katase wearing a pink t-shirt and matching pajama bottoms. Murayama had on a similar outfit only yellow. Looking at the two he thought about it for a moment "Naw there's no way you two were selected." He shook his head "Aside from that what's up?" He said to them as they shut the door.

They looked at each other confirming what was to come as they were ready for anything that was to come. "We wanted to talk about somethings." Murayama said as Katase nodded as they took a seat on the bed with enough room between them for Issei to sit if he desired.

"Why do you act so different to us now?" Murayama asked him. Different Issei thought about that one "You know the perversion and the lust during school."

Now he understood what they were asking about "Once I'm in that club room or at home, some people would still see me as a womanizer or a misogynist piece of shit. But you see what I really am, just a man who wants to make the ladies around me happy even if they don't want to fuck me."

"That's no better." Murayama interrupted him.

He shook his head "Those girls want me to be their lover. The big strong macho man will be their prince who will save them from anything. And to that I have already done that for some, others just want to be held and have support. You have only seen the disguise we agreed upon when I entered the school and it's far too late to change that."

"Disguise?"

"You saw the match with Riser?" They both nodded "I was asked Zeus to get recruited by Rias to aid her in her plight. And for that we decided that I play dumb, a lonely pervert…" Issei moved over to them and sat between the two of them "And I got Rias to recruit me but being the odd person out with a special power running about. I gave her what she wanted a way out and in return, she gave me a relationship that has only gotten better."

"There's no way that's the reason." Murayama was still skeptical

"You can't be that blind." Issei laughed at her motion "You have been with them in their girl time. There's no way that they haven't talked to you about how the most sought after girls are with the least desirable person of the school."

Katase shook her head "Give it up, Mury, they said this would happen." She looked over at Issei "I want to apologize."

This wasn't expected at all as it surprised him "For?"

"For how we treated you." Katase saw how Issei wasn't fully registering what was coming "Fine how about this." She grabbed Issei's hand and placed it on her left breast.

"Katase!" Murayama shouted at her seeing what just happened.

"What? Kiba isn't going to notice us and Issei isn't as bad as we made him out to be."

Issei slid back on the bed a bit "I'm sorry but are you implying that you want it?

"Issei you saved my life and I have no way to repay you."

He shook his head "No way, I don't do the whore yourself out thing. I only do the consensual relationship stuff."

"Don't give me that crap, they already told us how you took their virginities."

Issei sighed hearing that "Fine you asked for it." He grabbed Katase and dragged her so she was sitting on his lap. His left hand ran down to the bottom of her shirt and pulled up on it taking it off. With the shirt gone she had on a pink bra that matched her hair color as with the right hand he pinched the hooks together as he releases it and grabbed front pulling it off her. He looked down and tossed the bra aside "Look what we have here. "Both of his hands snapped right to her chests as his hands were the new bra while he fondled them."

Katase was moaning from just playing with her breasts as Issei looked over at Murayama but didn't stop "I know this is rude but what about you?"

"I uhhhhh." Words failed her as she could only watch as Issei took his right hand off Katase and slid it down into her pajamas. When he slid it down he felt a well trimmed amount of hair and was pleasantly pleased as it wasn't a wildfire waiting to happen. But none of that mattered as the golden ticket was within his grasp and he pounced on it. Going down just a bit further he rubbed her clit just enough as he could feel her nipples getting firmer.

But that was more than enough foreplay for Katase as he felt that she was plenty well lubricated. Issei slid his middle finger in "Oh yes! Another one." he was more than happy to grant her request as he pulled back and added his ring finger. Katase was thrown into a fit of ecstasy as he got on with it.

Issei was two fingers deep in blasting Katase as the door opened. Murayama's eyes widened as she was a deer looking in the headlights. Two blonde girls entered the room Ravel and Asia saw everything in full display as Issei was nibbling on her ear. "Ise!" Ravel shouted, getting his attention.

"Close the door she's about to let loose." Issei didn't stop as he felt Katase get more aroused by the fact that they got caught. But it was far too late as her eyes rolled back her breathing was heavy as she was spreading her toes out as far as she could.

"No fair." Asia hopped onto the bed and grabbed hold of him.

Katase slumped over as all the energy had left her body. "This was supposed to be our night. Asia and I won the drawing." Ravel said to him.

He pulled his hand out of her pajamas and looked at Ravel "We can still have a foursome…." He looked over at Murayama "You wanna go for the fivesome?"

"Isn't that a gangbang?" She asked him.

"I mean it is technically as I would be the one. But I like to keep it with a not so harsh meaning."

Murayama thought about it for a moment as she pointed at Katase "Am I going to end up like that?"

"Do you want to?" Was all he needed to ask as the night went on without a hitch.

The morning however came faster than anybody expected or even wanted as Issei woke up from the feeling of being surrounded. When he opened his eyes and looked around he saw Ravel on his left side holding onto him wearing nothing but a small t-shirt that had ridden up revealing her purple panties. Looking to his other side he saw Asia wearing a small white lace negligee and it didn't fail in doing its job.

He felt a tug on his arm as he heard Ravel speak softly "Morning Ise."

"Morning" He called back to her as he pulled his arm free and patted her on the head. He looked down at his body and saw two other girls laying on him "So this is a thing."

"Yes…" Ravel shook her head "And I'm surprised that it even happened."

"Noooo my panties… those... for Ise. don't eat them." They looked over and saw Asia talking in her sleep. Issei figured that Fafnir appeared to her in a dream or something different than how the sacred gear worked.

It took some time to coax all the girls out of bed so none of them got caught on the boy's side in provocative clothing. But after a while, everyone met up at the dining room in the girl's dorm and Issei was pulled aside by Asia and Saji. "So last night Fafnir came to me in a dream. He said he was going off to help Ddraig and Albion."

"Vritra came to me as well and told me the same thing. He said it was a rare honor to help them in their plight. I thought it was a dream but when I woke up Vritra never responded so it was all real. I can still use my Sacred Gear but there are plenty of areas where I need him to assist me with it."

Issei nodded his head "I know how that is, with Ddraig gone I have some problems using some abilities." He shifted his focus back to Saji "Speaking of problems is today going to be the same as yesterday or anything changing?"

"The Bael group will be here in the morning but they are working with Emperor Belial in the afternoon and meeting with Seekvaira Agares later."

"So everyone is in town and only two of us get to be in a film. Along with the magician's talk, there's too much happening in one place."

"Everyone gather round" Sona called out to everyone in the dining room as pamphlets were being handed out "Day two will be starting soon we need to get explanations down."

With the day well on its way, Kiba and Xenovia were outside giving lessons in how Knights work for their different styles of combat. Speed and precision versus raw power. Issei however was inside watching one of the classes that were sure to cause a problem. Irina was leading a class about Angels. All the children had never seen a real Angel in the underworld before but they were in awe as they saw her wings and halo above her head.

"She is real." "I was told bad children get taken by angels."

"No!" Irina said getting their attention "Angels are beings that serve Heaven and our allies. Now let us pray." And the class soon turned to chaos just as it was expected.

All while Irina was causing an international incident Asia was in another class talking about her time in the church and exorcists, Koneko on the subject of Youkai and Gasper having panic attacks while talking about Vampires. Rossweisse's lesson on magic was so popular that it had to be extended to the next day. And Rias and Akeno were giving less of a lecture and more of a talk about how they dealt with their roles as King and Queen in public and private.

Issei had other things to deal with as Ravel had set up an event called the Oppai Dragon Question Corner that was disguised as a class. It was a simple name but the kids flocked to it like wildfire. Hands were raised asking all kinds of questions, "How do I get stronger?" One of the children asked.

Issei thought about it for a moment "Your body has limits early on but as you grow older combined with physical training you can build up body strength. Magic is a long process but you can understand how it works as you are now and it only gets better later on. But right now I would say running to build stamina so you can last longer later on when you learn to fight."

A sea of hands was raised as Issei pointed at some random kid "What kind of Oppai do you like?"

"Good question, small ones, medium ones, and definitely the large ones. I like them all but I like the big ones the best." It was in the theme song but Issei looked at the crowd "Tell me what do you want to be?"

"I wanna be the Oppai dragon!" A few kids shouted out.

"You know I never expected to be the Oppai Dragon?" Issei said as he looked at the children as some of them were surprised to hear that. "I never knew what I was going to do with my life. Just be some random guy through life. I thought once about becoming a fashion designer for women as I know a well-known seamstress. But life shifted gears and I turned more towards combat."

The children began sharing what their dreams are. "I wanna be the Rating Game Champion." "I wanted to have a super secret underground lab." "Maou bodyguard!" The replies died down for a moment as a girl spoke up "I want to be a student at this school." Plenty of the children agreed with her when they heard it.

"Alright, then that's good to hear. Every day I hear from people in the human world who also have wishes. And as a Devil, I meet customers like that every day. One of my most interesting clients is a guy who spends all of his time at the gym and wants to be a magical girl like the Leviathan but is buff like Sairaorg." When Issei said that everyone felt a chill run down their spine as something wasn't quite right. Issei and Ravel moved over to a window to see if they could spot what was causing this. What they saw was the absence of a purple sky and a solid white sky devoid of anything.

Panic began setting in as it wasn't clear what was happening. (Will everyone please come inside immediately. I repeat will everyone please come inside immediately.) Sona's voice was heard over the loudspeaker.

Over their ears, communication circles appeared as they heard Sona once again (Once your classes are dealt with come to the staff room) The two of them got to work as they guided everyone into the gym. Once inside only a handful of people from Sona's peerage were missing "Tsubaki is out gathering information and keeping everyone as calm as possible. So what do we know so far?"

"I tried contacting the outside and nothing is working" Rias informed everyone.

"Teleportation is negated, I tried warping home and to the Gremory mansion. Both attempts are being blocked." Akeno followed up.

Koneko's little cat ears twitched "The trees are real I can feel their ki. We haven't been transported anywhere."

The Sitri magic circle appeared in front of them showing a 3d layout of the area and the town. "Well, I connected to the town hall building."

"What is this?" Sairaorg's voice was heard coming from Sona's magic circle

"Well, I guess we have sound as well then." She said wasn't expecting anybody to be there.

"It looks as if there is a barrier over the whole region." The elderly voice of Gondur was heard, "And none of us can use magic right now. Something is blocking us from using it."

Rossweisse held out her hand and created a small bit of fire "My magic seems to be working."

"Then it must be just the magicians here. Something isn't right about all of this."

"Sairaorg is the emperor still here?" Issei asked wondering if he was still around.

"No, he left not long ago."

"How convenient. I had a feeling that two many of us being so close was a bad idea."

"Who can even cast such a wide-ranging spell and maintain it?" Saji asked, getting everyone wondering who it might be.

Sona looked at Issei "I have an idea about that but you might not like it"

"Don't say it." Issei said as he put his hands over his eyes.

"It's possible that the Diabolism Thousand Dragon Azi Dahaka is the one sealing our magic away and casting the barrier around the area."

"If that's the case we are not getting out of here any time soon." Issei said to them "Provided he's even in the barrier I had enough problems fighting Grendel. Vali said he fought Azi Dahaka and didn't fare much better.

"But still to seal a region away and with magicians…." Irina said not knowing the full extent the evil dragons could do.

"But what if his abilities are being enhanced?" Sona asked, looking at Issei specifically.

"He already said he's sacrificing dragons to power the gear but the reason why the Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing are Longinus's is because they have souls of powerful dragons who can generate that kind of power. To be able to use the Boost command and amplify the powers of others would require..." Issei thought about it for a moment "30 percent of his power? There's no way he's getting the same deal I do." Issei didn't feel too well guessing how much it was.

"Yes but any form of extra power keeps us locked here while they do whatever they desire." Gondur said reaffirming her idea.

"And using the real boosted gear to overpower the barrier is out of the question. They most likely have reinforced the initial spell to prevent Issei from breaking it. Euclid has to be proficient enough to do that with the replica boosted gear. And I'm not saying that you're inferior to him."

Issei closed his eyes and held up his index finger as they all stopped talking for a moment. After a few seconds, Issei came back to them "I might have a way to get out of the barrier but it's a low chance that it would work. We would need to find the weakest point in the barrier and then fire the Longinus smasher at it combined with the aura of Ascalon and it might be enough to shatter it provided a dragon is casting the barrier. We can hold that for the last resort."

"We need to find out what the objective of all of this is." Rias said

"That's not necessary." Gondur sounded like she already knew "Us magicians have all researched trihexa so they are after us. But why Agares of all places is the question."

"Agares is full of old tech that we don't understand." Ravel said quietly

The door to the staff room opened as one of the staff members barged it. "There's a vision in the sky now."

Hearing that they made their way outside as there was a familiar old man in the sky. "Is it just fun when old man Rizevim appears? Long time no see and you can guess that something terrible is going to happen to you all. So I'm going to explain how this is going on. This barrier here is made to keep everyone in the region right here. Just so you can meet my allies, First up is the all too spooky Insomniac Dragon Ladon." The camera panned off Rizevim and over to a dragon that looked as if merged with a tree. "We resurrected him and gave him increased powers with the Holy Grail. With his barriers and Euclid powers, we were able to cover the whole region."

Rizevim was back on the camera as he had the grail in his hands twirling it around. "As for you magicians, we put a seal on all of you with the powers of Azi Dahaka along with boosting his powers as well." The camera panned to the other side as there was a three-headed dragon that took on the form of a hydra with its fat stubby body. "You might be wondering why me? Well, you're just a fortunate side effect of those pesky magicians who didn't want to cooperate with us. So we decided to just kill you all! Make it much easier for us. But for now, I need what is rightfully mine on Agreas island." He pointed down at the school "But team DxD was formed to defeat us so let's play a game. My army of mass-produced evil dragons and the Legendary Evil Dragons vs you idiots." He snapped his fingers as pillars of purple flames surrounded the city.

"Incinerate Anthem?" Rias asked

"Correct." Gondur said as the communication was still active with them."The wielder is a rogue magician from the Group Hexennacht. Any devil who touches the flames will die, even magicians. But to think they are working for the Khaos Brigade."

"Anyways the attack begins in three hours… have fun dying." Rizevim said as he faded away. Rias and Sona left to prepare what was necessary for what was to come.

The first order of business was to evacuate everyone to the underground shelter in the basement. It was slightly disturbing how well thought out Sona was with her plan as something like this was accounted for and there was a bunker under the school ready for this scenario. All staff members were conducting the evacuation as Rias speaking with Sairaorg "Evacuations here are almost complete due to the low amount of people in the area. But there is a barrier between the town and the region around us. I sent Xenovia and Rossweisse out to see if they could do anything but repair itself. Issei has a last ditch plan for it but it might destroy the whole area."

"I see, I was able to destroy the barrier over here but it repaired itself as well. Problem is well... see for yourself." Sairaorg showed her the sky as it was black as it was covered in dragons. "Seekvaira took control over Agreas somehow convincing the heads to relinquish it to her. But she is working as well as she can with Diehauser."

"I'm just so frustrated that it's always like this."

"But that is why DxD was formed. For situations just like this one. And we must protect the dreams of those children." Sairaorg told her as there was a pause for a moment "The battle is coming soon and I need to finish preparations."

As the call ended Rias stood there wondering what was going to happen but some things needed to be done. She made her way into the underground bunker and ran into Issei as it looked as he was going to where she was. The two of them made their way through the bunker as they came across one of the parents standing around not knowing what was going to happen. She looked over at Rias "Excuse me… uh... Princess Rias, what is going to happen to us?"

"There's nothing to worry about. This place was made to endure attacks from terrorists. Once the magic circle is completed we can get all of you out of here safely."

"My son finally smiled. He wasn't blessed with demonic power at birth and has been neglected by others. Even with that, he is still our child that we were able to conceive." The man next to her said to them. "But he stopped smiling when he found out he was different. The last time he smiled was when Oppai Dragon came about."

Issei looked over at the child in question as the child's eyes lit up as he shouted out "Mom Dad Look!" The two of them turned to see their son "It's fire magic."

The mother started to cry seeing the flame in his hand as his father grabbed ahold and hugged him seeing their child take a new step into the world. Issei thought this kid looked familiar as he opened his mouth "Your uh Lirenkus right? The child who was backstage a few months ago?"

"That's me!" He waved his hand at Issei as the fire was still lit at sloshing around.

His mother turned to look at Issei "You remember him?"

"I told you Oppai Dragon wouldn't forget me." Lirenkus told his mother.

"I guess you were right."

Rias looked at the child "Is it fun here at school?"

He nodded "Yes." His focus turned to another person as he held his hand with flames in it "Teacher Rossweisse has taught so much."

That person was none other than Rossweisse as she kneeled down next to him "I see you have been practicing and that's good. Just remember no magic is useless."

Issei pointed his finger at him "Also try to limit how much you wave your hands around when you have fire in them, don't need to catch anything on fire that you don't want to be on fire." He gave Lirenkus a thumbs up as they had work to do.

The three of them had one last meeting to attend before the impending showdown. When they entered the room everyone was there as there were chess pieces scattered across the table. "Good the battle plan is ready." Sona said looking at three of them. "I need one last thing Issei your peerage."

"What about them they will follow orders."

"Katase Murayama Kiryuu what can they do?" She asked.

"Well, what's your plan right now?" Issei asked as she grouped pieces tother on the desk.

"I have a power and defense or support setup right now. Rias and Bennia, Kiba and Tsubaki." Issei had a mental chuckle at that " Xenovia and Tsubasa, Akeno and Tomoe, Irina and Momo, Saji and Koneko and You and Ruruko. What can they do for a plan like this?" Each name called out had a pair of pieces next to each other as they were in a circle around the school.

Issei looked over to the remaining pieces as he picked up three pawns and a bishop. He put the three pawns down next to each other "Make them work together…" as he placed a bishop behind them "have Ravel be their backup. Two in the front two in the back. Because they are not up to the level of your girls yet."

Sona thought about that for a moment considering his adjustment "That's not exactly optimal but it will have to work for now."

"What about Rossweisse Asia Gasper and yourself." He asked, noticing that they were missing.

Sona placed a King and Bishop on the building. "Gasper and I will be at the center while he creates beasts while I direct them around. As for those, I would like for you to use it."

"Oh?" Issei held his hand out as a small airship appeared in his hand that was no larger than his hand. "Who's a cute little airship, oh that's you Ryuuteimaru."

"The hell." Kiryuu said, seeing rubbing his face on the hull of the airship.

"It's either this or a pegasus or a dragon king who is extremely horny." Issei stopped for a moment as he looked down at the floating ship in his hands "I can summon Tiamat here."

"Right…" Sona looked at Asia "Once outside I want you on the airship. A mobile healer that roams the battlefield will be an easy target but with a guard of Rossweisse, you can heal people when needed. "

"I understand." Rossweisse knew her role as a guard for this battle.

The little ship floated over Rossweisse as it hovered over her shoulder. Issei however pulled out his swords and placed them on the table "Your weapons I ordered weren't ready before we left. So you two will have to make do with my blades." He made sure the next point was ground into their heads "This is a kill or be killed environment. You will need to kill anything that attacks us today and you three can not hold back."

As everyone was getting ready to leave Issei stood there looking over at Kiba as it looked as if he wasn't fully in tune with everything that was happening. They both knew that he was still having a hard time controlling Gram and now was going to be a battle. The room was clearing out as Issei grabbed ahold of Tsubaki's hand after Kiba left the room "Listen Kiba is going to do something dumb and I need you to look after him. Gram is a dangerous weapon that can eat his life away." Issei's voice got quieter as he spoke the next part "And if you're lucky you might get something from it."

Tsubaki's face turned red "Why would you say something like that." She quickly ran out of the room when she heard that. How innocent she still was even after the fact.

Sona sighed seeing all of this "Must you torment my queen like that?"

Issei shook his head "You might want to set up a stress remove night with Saji and the others after this is all done."

"Shut up." Sona said as they walked outside.

Once outside the airship floated off Rossweisse's shoulder and expanded in size so it was large enough so the two of them could do what they needed to work on. That's when another vision in the sky appeared as a young woman wearing a black and purple gothic lolita dress. "I am Walburga leader of Hexennacht. Old man Rizevim said I can burn all of you with the evil dragons." The pitch in her voice rising to an uncomfortable level for some of them "It's time we begin the battle. But before that which one of you is Rossweisse?" She was looking at them as everyone turned to look at Rossweisse. "Ah yes the silver hair girl, I've been asked to bring you with us unharmed if possible."

"And who wants me?"

"Oh but Euclid wants you. To have such a strapping man looking out for you." She wrapped her arms around herself and closed her eyes as she was enjoying her fantasy.

"No way, I'm going to fight." Rossweisse shook her head as she shouted at Walburga.

A sigh was heard from Walburga "I expected as much." she disappeared leaving them ready to prepare.

"That's the kind of woman who enjoys torturing as they are dying." Xenovia said, "It makes me sick to see somebody like that."

"Are you all ready?" Rias said to everyone getting ready for the battle. "The terrorists and evil dragons will not take us down after everything we have been through."

"We will protect this place. No hopes and dreams will be lost. We built this place and will make sure it stands." Sona said as she waved off her group, sending them off to the battle.

Looking over at Ravel's group he spoke up "You three will need the power of the Queen if you are going to be successful. Just don't overdo it, Asia can heal your wounds but not your stamina." They understood what he was eluding at.

Issei made his way with Ruruko over to a field that looks as if it was recently plowed. As they looked up into the sky a roar echoed as the army of Evil Dragons began descending to ground level as if they were a wall of black rain. When the dragons got close enough Issei activated the balance breaker as Ruruko had armor appear around her legs. "I'll go first." She said as she leaped forward kicking the first dragon to come near her. The ground was shaking as energy was being thrown everywhere as it seems they were the only ones to be holding back on their energy output.

As Ruruko was fighting the ground underneath her turned black as out of it climbed out one of Gasper's creations. It grabbed hold of the target in front of them as she kicked it sending it flying out of the monster's grasp. Issei saw that there were plenty more dragons raining down on them as he shifted the pawn pieces to the bishop as the cannons appeared on his shoulder as he gathered energy. Picking out the closest targets the cannons let loose as the wave of energy ripped through the air as bodies and even some limbs rained down on them. What was more surprising was that Gasper's creation survived the shockwave as proof that he was training his powers.

Around ten minutes of death and destruction passed as the battlefield was littered with corpses. The battlefield got brighter as when they looked over on the other side the giant pillar of purple fire over there. (Incinerate Anthem users have begun assaulting the south side. We need to widen the defense perimeter. Fall back and form a team of four for now.) Sona said over the communication circle.

(Evil Dragon Grendel and Ladon have appeared in the southwest area.) Koneko said as everyone knew that the stakes were even higher.

Ruruko looked over at Issei as they knew where they were headed off to. Saji and Koneko had no chance of holding off one evil dragon let alone two. When they got there the two of them were already beaten up as they were fighting Grendel. {Greetings Red Dragon Emperor.} Issei's eyes were drawn to the voice as it was the tree dragon hybrid with red eyes {They call me the Insomniac dragon Ladon. I mainly deal with barriers.}

"I know who you are, Ladon. I'm also aware of how you died, OG Herc threw hydra poison in your mouth. But I doubt the same plan would work twice even if I had some."

{[That thing is a school, right?]} Grendel pointed at the school behind them {[If I destroy it you fight me at your fill power?]} Grendel has a wicked grin on his face as Issei moved in front of Grendel as Saji did at the same time. [{You or the school let's see you break first.]}

As Grendel breathed in, Issei dashed forward and made a quick side step as he went to punch Grendel but his fist was met with a solid wall before it even made contact. Issei looked over his shoulder as he saw Ladon glowing as his red eyes were glowing as Issei reached behind as he felt another barrier. He fell for an old trick but never saw or heard any activations of magic.

Ruruko and Koneko leaped into the battle trying to hit Ladon. Koneko had her touki covered punches while Ruruko's fast kicks were met with an invisible wall around Ladon bouncing the attacks back as if they were nothing.

Issei knocked on the invisible walls to see how much room he had. Grendel saw that Issei was trapped {[Oi Ladon he is mine.]} Grendel looked as if he was going to attack Ladon for such actions.

{You've had your fun with him before. I want to see what the Red Dragon Emperor who deals with raw power can break my barrier.}

Grendel was far from happy hearing this. {[This is why I work alone. I'll deal with these but there is no next time.]} Making his move he ran at Saji {[Show me your power Vritra!]}

Issei punched the barrier as he looked at Ladon "Well then if that's the case then. I, who is about to awaken, Am the Red Dragon Emperor who holds the truth of the king up high Holding the infinite hopes and unbreakable dreams and walking the path of righteousness I will become an Emperor of Crimson Dragon And I will lead you to the Path of Heaven, glowing in deep crimson light!" Ladon watched as Issei's armor shifted to its crimson form "Then I will destroy your barriers." Issei fired away landing punch after punch making cracks in the barrier even shattering some of them as they were replaced with new ones and even more layers.

This was a bad spot for him as it was a ploy to drain his stamina. He saw one of Gasper's beasts clawing at the barrier as well as they heard Grendel talking {[You brats are annoying]} Grendel swung his arms around batting Saji around as the black lines of Vritra were connected to Koneko and Ruruko.

Issei pressed upon the barrier he swapped to the bishop and the cannon tips pushed on the barrier. "You know explosives have come a long way since you were alive" His cannons were ready to fire as he let them loose. When he fired there was no large detonation in his face, nothing of that sort, only a barrier cracked in front of him as there were two small holes in them as the blast had detonated on the other side. The barriers around Issei were let down freeing him for a moment as he turned around and fired another blast at Grendel.

After the energy left the barrels the smoke around Ladon dissipated as he reformed a barrier around Issei. {Most Impressive. I didn't expect you to penetrate my barriers but my body is quite sturdy not to the level of Grendel's"

"Saji don't!" Ruruko screamed as Saji was taking hit after hits from Grendel making sure Grendel was focused on him.

Grendel was only laughing as Saji was taking hits. (Asia we need you on the southwest side, Saji's kinda broken up here.)

(Just hold on. Others are injured as well.) Asia's voice was shaky as she sounded somewhat desperate.

"Fuck it." Issei held up his right hand and formed the Gremory magic circle "The Grounds shake, the sea's rise, lightning strikes twice, blizzards shape the land, fire reigns supreme, Only Chaos is left." The circle lit up getting the other two evil dragons' attention as above Issei appeared a tall woman with long blue hair wearing a blue business suit and heels that matched.

"So you called." She spoke out as she looked about the battlefield. "I take it as the abominations are the evil dragons that Rizivem has been mass-producing?"

"Yeah they're not strong but they have thousands of them."

She pointed her hand up to the sky and flicked her wrist as a massive explosion rattled the area as black dust began raining down on the school. "You are correct." She looked down at Issei "So about that." She clapped her heels into the barrier shattering everything around him as she fell onto his magic circle and lowered her to the ground. In front of her was Ladon as she got a look at him "So it seems the reports of the real evil dragons returning to life is true as well. "She looked over to her side seeing Grendel towering over them.

[{It's not too late to join us Tiamat.]} Grendel looked at her.

Tiamat flicked her wrist as Grendel was knocked back from the resulting explosion. "That's Dragon King Tiamat you welp." Tiamat looked over at Issei. "Go deal with him, I'll take care of Ladon."

Issei nodded as he made his way towards Saji. Koneko looked at Issei as she was charging her energy up as there was some downtime. "I'm going to use it."

He nodded as one of the mass-produced evil dragon's corpses was thrown at Grendel. [{Oi! Hows messing with our forces now.]}

"It seems that I made it here just in time." They saw Sairaorg standing there looking at them.

"Oh good, I already had to call in the big guns." Issei said as he pointed over to Tiamat.

"We were winning our battle then their reinforcements were eliminated. But I had to use my Touki to get past the purple flames."

[{To think that there is a brat of the Great King who only swings his fists.]} Grendel made his way over to Sairaorg as he slammed his fist down at him.

Sairaorg didn't see the need to dodge it as he took the hit as his body was covered in Touki energy. It created an impenetrable wall that absorbed the hit as if it was nothing. It was only natural that Sairaorg was going to strike back as he did when he sent a punch loaded with his Touki into the mouth of Grendel.

Blue blood spilled out of Grendel's mouth as he seemed happy. [{And the devil knows how to throw a punch, this is going to be interesting.]}

"Prepare it, this is going to end here." Issei said to Konkeo as she nodded. He made his way over to Sairaorg and looked at him "I think it's time the trash gets taken out don't you think so?"

Saraorg smiled as he shouted out "Regulus! My lion, King of Nemea. Answer my howl and become my armor!" Power like no other radiated off him as Sairaorg's form shifted into golden armor. "Balance Breaker."

No words were needed as Issei and Sairaorg moved at blazing speed as Grendel was able to put a crossguard as the impact at the same time sending Grendel sliding backward. The two of them kept it up as they went for vital spots in any spot that didn't have a defense up. If Sairaorg went for the body Issei hit the face in a blur of teamwork like none other making Grendel backtrack losing ground.

"To think a dragon could have this level of defense." Sairaorg said as Grendel made some space between the two of them.

Breathing a large volume of air Grendel readied his attack and released a massive fireball at them. They split away from each other and got behind the fireball as when they rejoined they had a direct shot at his exposed stomach. Issei's arm had transformed into his rook form as Sairaorg's was full of touki energy. They both released the energy as a large volume of blood came out of Grendel's mouth as it spilled out a coated their arms. The combined attack had to cause serious damage as Grendel stumbled back away from them.

As they got ready for the next attack the light changed from yellow to purple as a massive cross appeared next to Issei engulfing Sairaorg. Issei looked back at Koneko and Ruruko and didn't see anything as when he looked at Sairaorg he was on the floor sizzling from the burns across his body. Above them, they heard laughter as it was Walburga. [{Don't butt into my fight magician.]}

"But it looked as if you were having suchhhhhhh a hard time with them. A little bit of gratitude goes a long way."

A black blotch appeared in the back right of Issei's vision as he tilted his head just enough to not lose track of everything in front of him. "Sorry about this Issei. She's been causing trouble everywhere." It was Gasper wrapped in darkness as he had come out on the battlefield

Walaburg looked over at Gasper and taunted him "I'm over here little boy come and get meeeeeeeeeee."

"Deal with her. I've already got my hands full."

"I'll leave a few beasts here but I don't know how much use they will be." Out of his body, a few beasts crawled out as Gasper made his way after.

When Gasper split Grendel lifted up and quickly slammed down his foot onto Sairaorg. They heard bones cracking as blood spilled out of the armor. When Grendel raised his foot for a second hit one of Gasper's beasts ran over and dragged Sairaorg out of the way.

[{That pitiful Bael is mine.]} Grendel was far from happy seeing his prey pulled away. Sairaorg's arm twitched as he moved it as he tried propping himself up. [{What do you mean by that.]} Grendel starting talking to himself [{Just because you have the Grail doesn't mean that you can interrupt my fun.]}

Sairaorg's body was in no condition to stand let alone be moving of any sort but by sheer will he was able to make it to his feet as Grendel saw it [{You're able to stand. Guess I need to deal with you before I deal with other things.]} Grendel made his way over to Sairaorg as he raised his food and went killing blows.

Sheer will and determination reinforced his body as Grendel stomped down Sairaorg had grabbed onto Grendel's foot holding him in place. Grendel tried shaking his foot free but it was far from successful. Issei saw the golden opportunity as his armor shifted as to the bishop state as he walked under Grendel's leg that was hiked in the air. "You know this is a low blow even for me." Issei said as the cannons gathered energy. But your already dead and your not reproducing anyways." He hiked the cannons up and pointed them to Grendel's crotch. The energy let loose tear the softer skin apart as the energy waves tore through his stomach and spine destroying anything that came into contact with toppling him over. Blood sprayed everywhere as Grendel toppled over as large portions of his insides were visible from what was left.

[{Not... This again. That damn princess and now this.]} Grendel hacked up a large amount of blood as everyone wondered how much he even had left.

Koneko stepped forward as her body had a white glow around her "I will try what my sister taught me." The white glow turned into light as her body started to age. A second tail came out from under her skirt as she got taller and her chest filled out. As she turned into what Issei hoped would be what she looked like when she had a few more years on her, she waved her hand as she created symbols as a white ring appeared in her hand. "I need a medium to seal his soul. Please give me one of your jewels from your armor.'

Without delay, Issei shoved his hand into the socket and pulled out the jewel on his left elbow. Handing it over Koneko moved the white ring over Grendel as it expanded. "Evil Dragon Grendel, your soul will teeter on the edge of darkness and blinding light." When she finished speaking the white ring engulfed Grendel creating a barrier around him. She threw the jewel into the light as it intensified, blinding everyone around. After a moment when it returned to bearable levels of vision, there was nothing but an outline where Grendel was with all the blood and the green jewel floating there.

"I talked with sister about this." Koneko said as she breathed a sigh of relief seeing that it had worked. "She said that it was best to seal the soul away. And that it was best to use one of the jewels on your armor to do it. We didn't think it could be done without any practice or in combat." She walked over and grabbed a hold of the jewel for safekeeping. "We need to hand this off to Grigor or Heaven and have somebody seal this away. Keeping it under powerful barriers will keep everything in line."

Koneko returned to her normal form as Issei moved over to Sairaorg and went to move it. "I'm okay." He said as Issei laughed hearing that. "No, no you're not. Asia will patch you up and then we can finish this." Issei told him as he moved Sairaorg over to Saji as they waited for Asia. After a bit Asia and Rossweisse made their rounds catching up with her healing duties but that was soon to change. (Fall back to the school as soon as possible, phase 2 will begin soon.)

Hearing that six of them made their way back to the school as they regrouped with everyone. When they reached the school they saw Kiba and Xenovia cutting down the remaining evil dragons that were left. While the two of them were heavily winded Kiba looked the worst. Issei quickly understood why when saw Tsubaki looking at him as if she was freaking out.

Rias however saw that there was somebody not accounted for when they first started "Sairaorg you made it here."

"Yeah, Only I was able to cross the purple flames when we had a leg up at the battle in Agreas.

Koneko however held up the green gem showing it off to everyone "We dealt with Grendel." Hearing that was had some of their hope restored knowing that one less major target was off the list.

Koneko handed the jewel off to Irina as she stored it away as she explained what happened. "I'll have Lord Michael see what we can do with it."

(Issei come to the top of the school.) Hearing that Issei made his way up to the top of the school as Sona set up her next plan of defense. With an influx of power courtesy of Issei, she summoned a massive wall of water around the school as other traps were activated.

The defensive perimeter was maintained but was funneled into one area where everyone was at. They were all grouped up based on evil pieces as they operated as new teams. A second wave albeit a highly reduced amount of evil dragons came in as everyone did whatever they could to deal with it as the Magicians finished the teleportation. The thing is the magicians found out that if they could wait long enough the barrier would begin to break down on its own. Fortunately for them, that time was already nearing as the barrier began to open letting in light from the true outside.

The magicians began working with whatever they could to get everyone out as their window had finally appeared. Gasper appeared from the other side of the wall of water as Walburga was in the sky above them "You know it was fun but it's too bad that this was just a ruse."

"So you were after the Island of Agreas after all. Explains why Rizevim was so interested in it and why the Lord Beelzebub is researching it." Sona said to Walburga.

"Yes yes quite right as expected from the Sitri heiress. Old man Rizevim wants something from that island but we decided another way about it. All we had to do was have a magic circle made by a Magician to get access. And it turns out our plan was a success."

Rias was shocked to hear that there was a traitor in the mists "So this was your plan from the start. Surround us just so you can teleport Agreas." Hearing that two of the Sitri Girls made a move to head down in the shelter to see what was happening.

"Many devils still support the old Maou. And if the name of Lucifer reappears then many of them would change sides without a second thought." Rias said as they watched Walburga smiling and pointing at Agreas. The floating Island was engulfed in a magic circle as it slowly disappeared.

Her smile and cocky attitude soon shifted as she heard something in her ear. Then everybody else heard something more important. The massive barrier that surrounded the region cracked letting purple sky through. The barrier around the city was nothing in comparison to the one that covered the region but the fact that it was cracking and the cracks could be heard was a massive change of pace. "Well either Tiamat has killed Ladon or…" Issei said as the sound of shatter glass was heard as the barrier broke. From the sky fragments, energy rained down as a golden light flew through the sky as it crashed into the ground kicking up a cloud of dust. When the dust settled in the crater was the True Longinus piercing the ground. "Or it's Cao Cao. Who had bets on Cao Cao saving us?" Issei finished as everyone was surprised to see the Lance sitting in there.

"It's not as if it matters." Walburga said as they watched the lance disappear. "It's already far too late." She pointed at them as the remaining Dragons changed at them as a wall of flames tore through a section of the school incinerating it.

"No!" Sona screamed out as she diverted some of the water wall to douse the flames.

Rossweisse followed after Sona as she poured water on the flames trying to douse whatever fire they could.

"Everyone attack the witch!" Rias shouted as large amounts of energy was thrown at her.

Walburga was able to make more fire as a shield wall as most of the attacks fizzled out hitting the fire. Holding both of her hands how she was well coordinated as she could manipulate the flames to defend and attack at the same time. But unfortunately for Sona and Rossweisse, their bests were far from good enough as they were having a hard enough time putting out the flames let alone defend themselves. Walburga sent a cross of flames at them as it crept towards them. As it was getting closer Saji got in between the flames and the two of them acting as their shield. His body was already on fire with Vritra as he did his best holding back the flames as he was screaming from the pain.

"Saji get out of there you're going to die at this rate." Sona shouted at him as he held his ground.

"No matter how many steps away, no matter how hard I train." The black flames around Saji started to fizzle out. "I wanted to be like Issei, I want to be strong." His body was being engulfed by Walburga's flames "But I know what I want now, I can't be like Issei. I want to be a teacher." Saji was shouting out as everyone heard him. Issei looked over at his pawns making sure they watched so they understood what was about to happen. "I want to teach and that is something I can do." The purple flames were being slowly pushed back.

They saw Sona crying as reality set in on her. Her peerage was ready to make her dreams a reality. "How sweet, but you're about to die and after that, I'll burn the rest down."

Around Saji a massive black snake appeared \Sorry that I'm late, it took longer than expected./

"Vritra your back!" Saji said as his eyes glowed purple.

\Yes but it seems like you have matured a bit while I was gone./ Vritra faded into Saji as the aura around began pushing the flames back. \Do not underestimate my flames wielder of Incinerate Anthem they are stronger than you believe./

"Let's do this! Now that your back I can go even further beyond"

\You finally realized it. Let's show them why I am called the Prison Dragon| Saji was shrouded in darkness as the black flames were dancing on top of the darkness \Balance Break/ The aura and flames shattered revealing a jet black armor with tentacles just like his absorption line. The surrounding purple flames were shoved away from the transformation

"Malebolge Vritra Promotion." Saji shouted, feeling a new wellspring of power. "Who is stronger our black flames or your purple flames? Let's find out." Saji's voice was different as deeper it was a fusion of his and Vritra's

"Malebolge… that's the floor above Cocytus. It's said that's where they keep those who deserve the worst punishment that are already dead." Rias informed everyone.

Before anybody could ask "The ones that are alive that get dragged down go to Cocytus. Cain and Judas are down there along with many others." Issei said as he tilted his head back towards the girls "Et Tu, Brute?

The evil dragons charged Saji as he stood there watching as the tentacles grabbed hold of them as they drained their power turning the bodies into husks that could fall apart with a light breeze. "His Balance Breaker is applying curses to them." Tsubaki said as she watched the slaughter of evil dragons.

"Interesting." Walburga said as she watched the destruction of the evil dragons. Purple and Black flames started flying everywhere as the two of them began their battle.

They watched as Asia perked up "I can sense Fafnir aura. Then he and Ddraig must be back."

Issei looked down at the jewel on his left hand as it flickered on and off [Yeah I'm back. We were somehow able to convince them. But that's a story for later let's deal with this.]

Asia held out her hands as a large golden dragon gate appeared next to her. "Answer my voice, Golden King. Crawl on the ground and you shall receive my reward. Gigantis Dragon Fafnir!" Out of the gate appeared Fafnir wearing a white chef hat and in front of him was a small kitchen set and music that belonged on a cooking tv show. Everyone stopped and watched to see what he was going to do as with his tail he pushed on a rotating board as it read Sauteed Asia panty in under five minutes. The board rotated again as it had a list of ingredients as everyone was lost in his madness. "First you chop up your ingredients to your level of cut aside from the panty." Fafnir turned to Asia "I need a panty."

Asia handed over a part to him as he threw it into the skillet and covered it in oil and began cooking it. Along with his list of Vegetables that were cooked in one pan true to his word he slid all of it out onto a plate in less than five minutes. Some of the Evil Dragons were amazed at Fafnir's work and even clapped at the presentation of a pair of 'cooked' panties draped over some veggies. Asia however was going to need therapy of some sorts as she fell to the ground as Xenovia had to grab ahold of her. "I want to go home." Asia said in a monotone voice as if her everything disappeared. "It will be okay." Xenovia patted her on the head.

'Right now anything is better than what I just watched.' Issei said to Ddraig

[Yeah about that we were able to convincer the past users somehow] Ddraig was in the same boat as Issei. [Come here real quick]

Issei closed his eyes as his mind plunged into the Boosted Gear as he was greeted by some unfamiliar people. "Hello, there current Red Dragon Emperor. We are what's left of the past White. This is what you people call a recording so I'll keep it brief. We created a victims association but found out we lacked the proper information. "

[Fafnir helped them.] "Yes, panties are amazing." Issei froze up hearing that "All of us had plenty of interest in female bottoms. But in our time they lacked such defining clothing. And thanks to Fafnir we are declaring peace with you." As they faded away each one of them held up a pair of panties that looked oddly familiar. "Panties are the best!"

Issei pulled himself out as everyone was looking at him "What?"

"There is something wrong with this era's dragons." Rias said looking at Issei.

"I showed them the same thing." Fafnir said getting Issei even more annoyed at that dragon's antics.

Issei waved his fingers at Rias "Love you to switch princess. Even if this is Fafnir's fault." Rias shook her head hearing that.

[Right so we can use all of the power from Albion now]

A red flash of light passed everyone and stopped where Sona and Rossweisse were. Sona was knocked out of the air as they saw Euclid holding onto Rossweisse as she was screaming and struggling to break free. "How do you do team DxD? I can't even keep track of what you dragons are going to do. But Qlippoth requires Rossweisse and the island of Agreas. So I need make this quick."

Rias held out her hand creating some of her power of destruction "I need to capture you and send you to my brother."

Euclid laughed hearing that "Alright fine I think I can dance for a minute." He snapped his fingers as the evil dragons broke out of their Fafnir panty induced trance and went back to their old selves. As the evil dragons reactivated everyone got to work taking down what was left.

"Go deal with Rossweisse" Kiba shouted at Issei and Rias.

Hearing that the two of them flew over towards Euclid trying to figure out how they were going to deal with him. As they got within medium range of Euclid an arrow of energy flew past Euclid getting his attention. When they looked down at the ground they saw an old woman with blood on her robes "You will not be taking my Granddaughter." Gondur said as she looked as if most of her magical power had been used up.

"It looks as if our operative did a number on you." Euclid said looking down at her.

"Stay back" Rossweisse screamed as she saw the state of her Grandmother "Don't hurt yourself."

"I can save you Rose." Gondur yelled at her.

Euclid got a laugh out of her "I'm sorry but considering your state you can't hurt me. You don't have enough power to even begin." Below his feet, a silver magic circle with the lucifer crest started to form. Gondur raised her hand up and fired another arrow at Euclid this time the arrow flew at his feet and before it touched the magic circle it exploded into what looked like metallic ribbons. Looking down at his feet he saw that his magic circle was gone. "How clever of you to seal away teleportation." Seeing that his fastest mode of escape was now cut off he turned around and took off at incredible speed.

"Please Red Dragon Emperor, Princess Rias…. Please save Rossweisse." Gondur had fallen to the ground as her energy had been depleted.

Rias smiled "Of course we will. She is our comrade."

"You just made Euclid's beating much easier." Issei said as the two of them followed after them.

After a few minutes of flying, they found Euclid down in a field far outside the town. When they landed in the field Issei spoke to Euclid "You know it would have been easier if you just stayed hidden in darkness. So what did you chose to rebel and turn to a terrorist."

"There are many reasons. I'm not a fan of this government and I have plenty to ask of my sister. But answer me this: what is a Devil?" Issei thought about it as he didn't have an answer for Euclid. "Even you cant answer it nobody has been able to give me an answer."

"So you think Rizevim is the way to go just because nobody has an answer for you?" Issei questioned Euclid.

"Everyone has their own ideals. Rizevim is just necessary for me to progress mine. I have thought of what is necessary for a devil to be a Devil. And we have to be evil and dangerous to be called devils. And we want to show the world what Devils are."

Hearing that Issei and Rias looked at each other as they both thought he was crazy. "You're a fucking nutbar. You're trying to create a gap between the supernatural and humanity."

"I admired my sister. She is stronger than all of us. But she rebelled against Lucifer and gave herself to a thing that isn't a devil." Euclid looked at Rias "Do you know how much it hurt when she ran away. I turned into nothing but a husk. But after I found you I figured I should live my life however I want."

Rias heard that and started to yell at Euclid "You wanted all of this. All this death and destruction?"

Euclid didn't care that she was yelling at him "Devils have a hero, and children are influenced by that. But that is not what Devils are."

"Oh shut up you're nothing more than a self-righteous ass hole at this point."

"No" Rias cut Issei off. "He's a twisted individual who is a danger to our survival and all he craves chaos."

"Twisted? No far from it Rias Gremory. Our Existence is nothing but devious beings. Irregularities such as your brother and Ajuka Astaroth is the corruption that plagues us. We are no longer the devils of old."

Issei stepped forward ready for combat "Then I guess I need to be the Hero."

"Why did you hunt Rossweisse?" Rias quickly asked to get anything out of him before it was too late.

Euclid reached down as ran his hands through Rossweisse's hair as her hands and feet were bound. "Intelligence and potential if she joined us we could use her wisely. Yet she reached not only how to unseal Trihexa but to put a seal on it." Rias and Issei were shocked to hear that was the case "Yet she really looks like her."

"Who?" Rias was skeptical of what was to come.

"My Sister Grayfia." There was an eerie silence as he looked down at Rossweisse. "She may become my sister."

The first words Euclid spoke to Issei made much more sense now. Euclid was chasing a shadow looking for anything that looked like Grayfia. "Euclid your heart is…" Rias told him as she was sad to say it.

"Are you saying that I'm still sane?" He looked at Issei as his Replica boosted gear appeared on his hand "Ddraig will you join me."

[Piss off.]

Hearing that Euclid only laughed as he snapped his fingers as there were some explosions in the far off distance "It looks as if all your work for the day had been for naught."

"You sucm." Rias said as she looked at school seeing the explosion in the distance.

"I'm evil. But that pathetic school is only for the lower class. Only the elite are allowed to be the best. They are low class devils for a reason. Wasting your time on the lower class is pointless."

"You know…" Issei cut Euclid's rant short "That shadow you chase, that carrot on a stick is a low-class devil." The green jewels popped out of Issei's armor forming wyverns that hovered around him "Yet you're nothing but a sick individual who destroyed his own heart and tried to rebuild it himself."

Euclid began letting out massive waves of his demonic power right from the start as the ground around them started to break. He raised his left hand as there was a spam of boost calls as red armor appeared and he let loose an explosive amount of energy at Issei. Rias quickly moved away as the wyverns moved into the attack.

[Divide!] [Divide!] [Divide!] [Divide!] [Divide!] [Divide!] [Divide!] [Divide!] [Divide!] [Divide!] The Wyverns shredded through the blast as it disappeared the energy. Issei thought about returning the favor but Euclid closed the gap at a rate of speed that made Kiba look slow.

"You can't stop this." Only having enough time to put up a cross guard Euclid slammed his hand into Issei. He didn't slide back from the shock as Issei was about to route all the energy into the ground. The impact was no slouch as it still damaged Issei.

But Euclid got thrown back as Issei dropped his guard and returned the favor [SOLID IMPACT BOOSTER] Euclid's replica armor was nothing compared to the real thing as when he was sent flying and the armor broke apart leaving him open on the floor.

"Impossible. My fist was stronger than any guard you can muster. It should be impossible for you to raise your power in time." Out from behind Issei a red wyvern landed on his shoulder as it dawned on Euclid. "Absurd that's the power of White. How did you combine the powers of Red and White."

From under Issei's helmet, Euclid heard Issei laughing at him. "You built a fake version of my Sacred Gear yet you know nothing of the powers of the Longinus." Struggling to get back up to his feet he saw the white wyverns around him as he scrambled to get away from Issei. Holding his hand up he charged some energy up for the dragon shot as the wyverns lined in a barrel like fashion. [Dragon Shot!] The ball of energy wasn't that large but as it passed each wyvern a boost call was heard as it gathered energy all while the wyverns flew away spreading out shifting to its white form.

Euclid wasn't going to be able to outrun it as it gained a mass of energy and speed. His only choice was to jump into the air to have any hope of dodging it. [Reflect!] Hearing that he looked down as the blast was traveling up towards him. The all too familiar dance began once again as the wyverns surrounded him each reflecting unfortunately for Euclid Issei had progressed his skills as the dragon shot was moving faster than he anticipated as the blast hit him. The shot alone was more than enough to destroy the fake armor.

With Euclid's armor gone the wyverns retreated to Issei as they changed red as they started boosting. [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] [Boost!] Was heard from the wyverns as they generated as much power as they could. When they were done each one of them attached themselves to Issei and One by one. [Transfer!] they heard as the wyverns amplified Issei's power as his Crimson aura was shining brightly.

Seeing that Issei's chest plate started to open, Euclid knew that nothing good was going to come of whatever was about to happen. "I can't afford to be hit by whatever that is." He started to run away like a scared child as he took flight with his devil wings.

A rope hooked around Euclid's feet holding Euclid in place. Issei's eyes followed the rope down and it was Rosseweisse of all people as she freed herself from his bindings. "You think you're getting away after all of the things you have done? Your powers are strong but useless. And you're not escaping these ropes. "

[Euclid Lucifigus! There is only ever one Red Dragon Emperor in the world.] The surrounding area was bathed in crimson as Issei pointed at Euclid. Out of his chest, massive amounts of energy was condensed. [LONGINUS SMASHER!]

The sky was no longer purple as it turned red as energy engulfed Euclid. When the energy dissipated Euclid was found laying down on his back in the field as blood was coming out of everywhere on his body as he stared up at the sky. Walking over to him Issei looked around at the sky 'didn't expect the sky to be this red.'

[Yeah well don't use that too much. It's a forbidden power for a reason as it can reshape the environment based on how you use it. Also, your gonna feel horrible for a while as that took plenty of energy to use and the fatigue is going to be immense.]

Rias was making getting hold of anybody she could now that the barrier was done. Issei made his way over to Euclid as he made no resistance as Issei looked at his hands to make sure that there was no trace of the fake boosted gear on him. The military made their way in to clean up anything that they could as they could and take custody of Euclid. When they made their way back to the remnants of the school Saji and Sairaorg had been transported off to the hospital and Walburga and the remaining Evil Dragons were long gone by that time. Issei however was laying down in what was left of the schoolyard as somebody stood over him. "Sorry that we couldn't help you. You kids were only missing for three minutes for us." It was Azazel looking down at him.

"This turned out better than we thought it could have." Issei said to him "So what do they want with the city?"

Azazel sighed hearing that "Honestly I don't know. It has to be some weapon or maybe an ancient power generator. Ajuka Beelzebub was in charge of that so we would have to ask him. It's out of my area of expertise. I was able to read Rossweisse's essay partially."

"Sealing Trihexa"

Azazel raised his eyebrow hearing that "Euclid spoke about it then? But yeah she wrote a paper on how to seal Trihexa and honestly she probably has researched too much of it. She's that level of smart. Her magic spell will be a key for later one. But never would I have expected that Rossweisse would be the trump card." Azazel pulled a paper out of his jacket "By the way I have a message for you from Indra. He said the Successor of Sun Wukong as his Vanguard is now Cao Cao."

"That explains far too much."

"Don't let your guard down, everything is going to get a lot harder now. Euclid may be gone but Crom Cruach is still out there along with the other Evil Dragons. But I know you can pull something off somehow."

They heard another figure approach them as Issei rolled his head over to see who it was. Tiamat made her way over as Issei raised his hand and waved at her. "Heyaaa." He let out a girly call to her.

"What are you doing here Tiamat?" Azazel asked as this was the first time he had seen her in a while.

She pointed down at him "He summoned me here I fought with Ladon."

"How did that go?" Issei asked as she grabbed his hand and lifted him to his feet. "He ran away but I gave him a beating that he will not forget."

"Good Good thanks for that I'll uh think of something for you." Issei told her as he made his way over to the tent that was sent up. When he entered he saw that everybody has inside of it as Asia was laying down tired from all of the healing she had done and Gasper was out cold. Taking a seat Issei spoke his mind "It's been all sorts of crazy lately. Maybe with the winter coming up, we can take a break for more than a week."

Issei could see the light bulb appear over Rias' head as she had an idea. "Let's have a gathering during the holidays then."

"A party sounds fun." Murayama said as she looked up from the floor as she was almost drained of all her energy.

"If it's anything like the last gathering we had it was just training."

"How about a trip to Heaven?" Issei cocked his head over and saw Dulio standing in the entrance to the tent as he walked in.

Rias smiled at that thought "Something like that would be perfect. I'll have to speak with Sister Griselda about something like that."

A trip to Heaven would be an interesting thing for a group of devils. "Oh, you're all here." Xenovia said as she looked at Rias.

"Something wrong?"

Xenovia nodded "I think now is a good time to tell everyone." Issei was wondering what was going on. "As the third semester begins I will be running for Student Council President."

Issei looked at Kiba wondering if he had any idea that this happened as he was surprised to hear that. But looking over the rest of the Girls it's as if they already knew that she made her choice. Laughter was the only thing Issei could do as he heard that as he gave her a thumbs up "That explains so much. Why you have been going hard on your studies."

"We were surprised to hear it as well. Never once expected Xenovia to want to become President."

"I plan on joining the election campaign… so I guess I would be leaving the ORC. So I'm asking for your approval." Xenovia bowed to Issei.

She was asking him if she could leave the club to pursue her dreams. "Sure. If that's what you want then leave. I'm not going to tell you that you can't enjoy yourself. Just as I'm not having Katase and Murayama leave the Kendo club but they will need to learn some restraint when it comes to practice with the others."

"We still have some days to make our plans for the holidays." Rias told them all.

"Speaking of that have you decided who is going to be the next club president?" He looked at Rias.

Rias stuck out her lips and put a finger on them as she winked at him "It's a secret."

There was plenty of work for them to do after the fact but Rossweisse needed help clearing up one last loose end. Issei and Rossweisse made their way to the edge of the school with Gondur. "This is far enough." Gondur crafted a magic circle as she was preparing to leave as they felt something coming from behind them.

Turning around they saw a stampede of children coming over to them. "Teacher, are you leaving?" The kids asked among other things.

Gondur smiled at the children "I will come back again, and Rossweisse will be coming back as well." Hearing that the children were happy about having Rossweisse return. "Please head back as I need to speak to these two." Her words were like candy to them as the kids ran back to the school with information in hand. Gondur changed her attention to Rossweisse "The path you have chosen is not wrong only what is best for yourself. And you have already seen the fruits of that with this school. Their smiles are all the proof you need and I'm proud of you for that."

Tears started to flow from her eyes as she hugged Gondur. "Thank you."

After the two of them separated Gondur looked at Issei and winked at him "Take care of her."

"You do know that…" Issei tried to speak

She shook her head "I knew who you were the whole time. I hear you have been with Lady Freya as well." Issei pulled back hearing that as she only smiled at him "I feel as if I can let her with you." Gondur stepped back as her magic circle flashed sending her away.

The two of them stood there not knowing how to go from here. "I was happy that you came for me." Rossweisse said as her face was beet red.

"Of course I was going to come for you." Issei poked her in her chest above her breasts "I'm not going to hang you out to dry. Plus I already told you that I want first dibs to go between you and into that heart of gold of yours."

Rossweisse tried hiding that massive blush on her face as she was looking down "Next time will you go to a two hundred yen shop with me?"

Issei smiled hearing that "Sure" He moved closer to her and whispered in her ear "But I'm going to buy you some expensive lingerie and you can't tell me no." He grabbed hold of her hand and guided her back to the school as her head was running full with ideas of what was to come.
