Issei, Vali, and Irina were on their way home when they were stopped by a voice.
"Hey, wait! Issei Hyoudou? I want to speak with you please."
It was a girl with long black hair and violet-colored eyes.

Chapter 2: Fall From Grace
Issei spoke, "You two go on ahead."
Vali and Irina nodded and headed home together.
Issei turned to the girl. His heart leapt when he saw her. 'Oh my god! She is gorgeous!' He thought to himself. There are three types of attractive girls: Beautiful girls, sexy girls, and cute girls. To Issei, this one was all of the above. Fortunately for him, he was able to make it inconspicuous that he was checking her out. He smiled at her politely and said, "Oh, hey! What can I do for you?"
Raynare felt awful. A lot of Fallen Angels who followed Kokabiel liked hurting innocent people, but she was an exception for two reasons. 1. She was forced to serve Kokabiel against her will. 2. She didn't want to kill him, especially after seeing his heart-warming smile which she couldn't help but find attractive. 'If only I were strong enough to rebel against my orders. Damn you, Kokabiel!'
She offered her own smile in return, currently in her Yuuma Amano form. "I, uh... *ahem* My name is Yuuma Amano. I was wondering if you would like to go out on a date with me?" She asked, squirming shyly, feeling a blush on her face, a real one, one she couldn't fake. 'Why do I feel this way?! I shouldn't! I never want to be close to anyone again! They'll just leave me by abandoning me or dying,' She thought sadly to herself, but deep down, she knows that she wants to be loved and cherished.
Issei heard her question, seeing her face turn pink, feeling a blush of his own come onto his face. 'What the fuck, this girl is too adorable! Did she just ask me out?! I am the luckiest guy in the world right now!'
Issei smiled at her. "Of course! My name is Issei Hyoudou, and I would love to go on a date with you!" He completely forgot that she already knew his name.
Yuuma returned his smile. "Great!"
The two of them exchanged phone numbers and Issei waved to her as she dismounted the bridge and disappeared around the block, a huge smile on his face the whole time he made his way home. He was briefly stopped by a lady in a strange outfit who handed him a flyer, and Issei, not wanting to seem rude, put it in his pocket, forgetting to take it out ever again, but not before examining it. It had a strange symbol on it and the words, "We will grant any wish you desire."
He entered his house to find his parents, who just got home from work, as well as Vali and Irina watching TV. They all looked at him.
"Yo Issei! What's got you so happy?" His dad, Gorou, inquired.
Issei's smile turned a little cocky. "On my way home from school, I got asked out on a date by a beautiful girl. We're going out this Saturday."
Vali and Gorou smiled, happy for him. "That's great!" Gorou said.
Meanwhile, Miki Hyoudou and Irina were about to go full mom mode and lecture him on what to do and what not to do during a date, to which Issei intently listened.
. . . . . . .
Issei managed to get in two work out sessions before his date with Yuuma. He wanted to start training to unlock his sacred gear, knowing that he was never a strong person, but at the same time, he wasn't super weak. He has had decent leg muscle, but "cannons" for thighs. *ahem* dummy thicc *ahem*. That is the kind of build Issei knows he would love to come close to someday, but at the same time, he doesn't want to be a body builder that's seen as one of the world's few "strong men" or else he will scare off everyone, especially potential female love interests.
Anyway, Issei was waiting at the park for Yuuma at around 1:45 PM. He was wearing a dark red and black flannel with dark blue jeans and leather brown dress shoes as well as his best cologne.
He suddenly felt a pair of soft hands cover his eyes from behind, and he could immediately tell that she is wearing perfume. She smelled like jasmine and roses, just seductive as hell. Her huge boobs are pressing against his back.
"Issei, guess who~" She sang.
"Well, I think this person has to be none other than my very own lovely girlfriend who I am about to have my first date with."
Raynare's heart skipped, and she giggled. "You would be correct."
She took her hands off his face, allowing him to turn around to see her. She was wearing a purple blouse and a skirt with white socks that almost went as high as her knees, showing much of her lovely thighs.
Issei couldn't stop himself from smiling at her. Well, mostly smirking, but smiling nonetheless. "As always, you look lovely. You look so beautiful that this might be a problem for me."
Yuuma smirked with the same love-struck look in her eyes as him. "Oh yeah? Why's that?"
Issei blushed at what he's about to say and looked down in embarrassment, chuckling quietly to himself before he looked back up at her confidently. "Because I might not be able to take my eyes off of you, even when we go out for dinner."
Raynare's cheeks turned pink as she giggled. "Have you been practicing that as a pickup line?"
Issei shook his head, gently taking her hands in both of his as they started walking, with her pedaling backwards slowly, smiling up at him. "Nope. I came up with that one on the spot, and I do have to say that I feel pretty good about that one if I do say so myself, especially considering that this is my first date with a girl ever. As a matter of fact, if I were to use a pickup line, I would say something like 'Damn girl, forget dinner, you look like a yummy snack' or something, which quite frankly, you do." He said, winking at her.
Raynare's blush deepened as did this wonderful feeling she didn't want to feel but enjoyed. She laughed happily. "Idiot." She turned around as they walked hand-in-hand, letting him lead her to the different locations for their date.
Unbeknownst to them, they were being followed by Koneko, who was alarmed to see a Fallen Angel with Issei, who was obviously unaware. Unbeknownst to Koneko, she too was being followed by another supernatural presence who was also interested in this date and what Koneko wanted with them. A/N: Cue a chain of dozens of people spying on each other in public XD.
First, they went to the movies. Issei let her pick whatever she wanted, and she pointed at the poster of a movie under the Thriller and Sci-Fi genres called "Steins;Gate: The Movie − Load Region of Déjà Vu". Author's Note- As you can tell by me making a Steins;Gate reference in almost every chapter so far, I love Steins;Gate lol.
Issei had already seen season 1 of Steins;Gate and Yuuma hadn't, so she was quite confused by the plot since she had no idea what was going on. "That was a really interesting movie, but I have no idea what happened to Okabe before for him to be so traumatized."
Issei looked over at her. "Well, what happened is, to put it in as few words as possible, the main character time traveled over and over, an infinite number of times, to save someone he cared about who was fated to die, and the chance of him finding the Steins;Gate world line where everyone lives was so small, but he found it using the actual time machine, not the generic microwave that only allows him to go back only 48 hours. It's a really interesting anime, you should totally watch it with me."
Second, they went out for dinner before they went shopping. It was here that Issei learned that Yuuma loves cosplaying. He was currently waiting for her outside a changing room that only separated them by a curtain as she changed clothes.
"Ta-da!" Yuuma exclaimed as she pulled the curtains back to reveal her outfit. Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail wearing a pair of cat ears tucked into her head. She was wearing a maid outfit that had black sleeves and a black skirt with a white apron. Issei couldn't stop his nose from bleeding as they took several pictures together.
Finally, they were going to the park where the date started to watch the sunset. As they were leaving the shopping district, Issei secretly brought a small bouquet of flowers, specifically lilies with pink and white petals, that he intended to give to her at the park. He hid them in his left hand as Yuuma held his right hand. Other than the bouquet, he didn't buy anything for himself, but he enjoyed buying clothes for Yuuma.
As they reached the park, Issei pulled her to his chest, making her gasp as she looked up at him in surprise, to which he smiled. He casually pulled the bouquet out and handed them to her. "These are for you. I secretly brought them for you about 10 minutes ago as we left, and I thought they suit you. The white flowers represent your innocence while the pink ones represent love."
Raynare backed away a few feet and lowered her head, her hair hiding her eyes which were filled with tears of sadness. She turned around to wipe them away. "... Issei, there's something I need to tell you... Yuuma Amano is not my real name. My real name is Raynare... and I am a Fallen Angel."
She transformed into her true form, looking a couple years older with bigger boobs and a pair of feathery black wings protruding from her back. Koneko nearly jumped out of a nearby bush to attack her, but she stayed put to observe. A/N: No dominatrix outfit.
Issei was surprised to say the least. "And? That doesn't change the fact that I have feelings for you, although I am now even more involved with the supernatural than I already am."
Raynare blinked. "What do you mean? Shouldn't you be shocked here?"
Issei shrugged. "Rias Gremory told me all about the supernatural."
Raynare's eyes widened. "G-Gremory?!"
Issei nodded. "Yeah. She's a student at Kuoh Academy, just like me."
Raynare nodded, and Issei suddenly saw her summon something. It was a spear made of light. He barely heard her when she mumbled, "I'm so sorry Issei. Please forgive me." Only two other beings heard due to their supernatural hearing. In that moment, Raynare seemed so incredibly sad to Issei, but Issei didn't have time to respond to her statement when she threw the spear at him.
"AAAAH!" Issei was shocked as the spear embedded itself in his stomach. He fell to one knee, wincing in agony, before he couldn't take the pain any longer and fell backwards onto his left side, laying in a fetal position. Raynare, seeing this and not being able to bare seeing neither his pain nor him bleeding to death, yanked the spear out of his stomach, wanting him to have a quick death, and flew off as tears rolled down her cheeks. She disappeared out of Issei's view after a minute as he reached his hand out to the retreating figure. He never noticed that she was crying.
Only one person saw her crying, and that was one of the two following them. She hid in the shadows, here voluptuous figure and blonde hair practically blinding any onlookers due to her beauty if not for her stealth. A look of concern etched on her face. "Raynare..."
She watched when she saw the Devil following Issei and Raynare stand up from the bushes and walk over to Issei right as he died.
. . . . . . .
In a church on the outskirts of Kuoh, Kalawarner was meditating. Dohnaseek was laying on a bench and Mittelt was sitting on the floor next to him. Mittelt was playing on her Wintendo Switch. Dohnaseek was bored, so he decided to watch her play.
"GAH! FUCK YOU!" Mittelt screamed as Bowser murdered Mario, who she was controlling. Dohnaseek couldn't help but laugh. He found the sight of a loli getting angry at a videogame very amusing.
Raynare landed at the church and immediately went inside after drying her tears. Seeing her only friends, Kalawarner, Mittelt, and Dohnaseek, she felt grateful for that. She didn't want anyone like Freed Sellzen, Kokabiel, or Valper Galilei to see her crying and assume that she developed feelings for the target they assigned to her.
Kalawarner opened her eyes as the three of them looked at their companion. "So, did you kill the sacred gear kid?"
She nodded as she slowly walked up to Kalawarner and sat next to her on her knees, deep in thought. "Yes. Yes, I did. It didn't feel good. As a matter of fact, this is the worst I have ever felt about anything." She said it as emotionlessly as possible, but she was never good at hiding how she felt as some of her sadness carried in her tone.
Raynare looked up at the sculpture of Jesus Christ on a cross, and she did something she hasn't done since the Great War: she clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and silently prayed. She prayed, not just for forgiveness, but also for Issei to be accepted into the kingdom of heaven and for Issei to forgive her. She wasn't aware of the irony of this situation though: A Fallen Angel praying for the Angels in Heaven to accept the soul of a soon-to-be reincarnated Devil. Such kindness is rarely seen that effects specific members of all Three Factions. Even though she knew God is dead, perhaps one of the four great Seraphims will bestow upon her some mercy by at least accepting Issei.
Kalawarner, being Raynare's best friend, looked sympathetically at her as she immediately understood the situation. She had no idea that this mission was going to take this much of a toll on Raynare's heart. Of all the Fallen Angels to ever exist, Raynare has always been one of the kindest... Purest... To be forced to kill the person you love made Kalawarner mad for her.
Mittelt turned off her console and looked at Raynare in confusion. Fallen Angels never genuinely pray, and the ones that do are almost always like Freed Sellzen, a vile despicable man who rapes and murders, justifying his actions as the will of God, so what reason would Raynare have to pray, she wondered.
Dohnaseek raised an eyebrow. "Why? Kokabiel said that the brat posed a threat to us, right?"
Kalawarner glared at the fedora-wearing man. "Idiot! We are only following Kokabiel's orders because of him threatening to hurt us! We hate him!"
Raynare sniffled, her nose runny from crying earlier, her tear ducts thoroughly dried. She slowly opened her eyes, stood up, and turned around to face the other two Fallen, glaring at Dohnaseek. They could see her eyes were a little red from crying, and the two Fallen Angels realized why she was praying.
Dohnaseek gulped. "Wait, don't tell me you fell in love with the brat?!"
Raynare nodded. "I did. This is something I will never forgive myself for nor will I forgive Kokabiel for making me do this. The Devils might eventually come looking for us, and if they do, run. Go to Azazel if you have to, but we absolutely cannot risk restarting the Great War like Kokabiel wants us to."
Mittelt sighed. "Then what happens once Asia gets here? We can't exactly disobey if Valper wants us to take her sacred gear because Kokabiel will send a lot of exorcists here to make sure we do our job."
Raynare responded, "We take her and run away. Kokabiel wants her dead, so we will protect her."
. . . . . . .
In a chaotic place filled with strange lights and structures, two Dragon Gods watched in anger as their distant nephew was not just murdered, but also resurrected by the Gremory heiress. Enslaved.
One of them, a little girl with long black hair and black eyes, stood up and emotionlessly said, "I'm going to kill them all and deal with that Fallen manipulator."
The other Dragon, a somewhat tall muscular man with spikey red hair and a few tattoos, looked at her and sighed. "Ophis sweetheart, I know how you feel. I'm angry too, but let's wait a year and see if Issei can get strong enough to sense the gift we left for him. Besides, Issei loves that Fallen Angel, so we must not hurt her no matter what. She also seems to have killed him hesitantly with immense guilt and possibly fallen for him," Great Red said, pulling his wife into a hug as he grit his teeth, trying to keep his anger at bay after the events they just witnessed.
"... Fine. Then what about those filthy Devils? Can't we at least pay that strumpet's brother a visit and scare them to make sure their kind never meddles with ours again?"
"No. We might eventually, but for now, we must not interfere with Issei's life unless he is in grave danger. I know you want to hurt the Devils, and I do too, but they could help Issei get a lot stronger so that something like this won't happen ever again to him. Visiting the Devil King would only incite fear and chaos into his retarded race as he is one of the only very few intelligent Devils who would listen to us while the rest would panic. Remember what happened during the Great War? Remember what these Three Factions did to Ddraig and Albion? That was out of fear, and the result was a complete shit show for everyone involved, including us Dragons."
Ophis frowned. She wanted nothing more than to be there for Issei, and even though he wasn't her son, she looked at him like one since they are blood related.
Great Red smiled at her brightly. "For now, I think we should train his two friends living with him once Issei is strong enough to survive by himself and is at least as strong as a Dragon hatchling." His smile disappeared into a thoughtful frown. "There's one thing I am a little concerned about though. That woman who was following Issei on his date with his beloved is one of the Angel's leaders, and her name is Gabriel, a Seraphim. She seems to know our Issei's beloved Fallen. What could she possibly want from her?"
. . . . . . .
A few days passed, and Issei felt like his life was thrown into chaos. For him to wake up and find out he is a Devil that was resurrected by Rias was shocking. He was her Pawn, and it took all eight of her pawn pieces to bring him back.
He thought of Raynare and the explanation he gave to his parents on why Rias was sleeping in his bed in the morning, ignoring their remarks of, "Oh my god, Issei is cheating on his girlfriend with a white girl!" and "Your harem has just begun, my boy!" That last one was his dad.
Rias introduced herself and was about to say something to them when Issei whispered in her ear, "Let me handle this. I'll have to lie to them." As Issei sat at the dining table eating breakfast, he explained to them, "Yuuma is still my girlfriend, but she ran away after I tried to kiss her. Don't be surprised if I never see her again and you never get to meet her."
Rias was satisfied and decided that she won't have to wipe anyone's memories.
Vali and Irina watched in the background in concern. They could tell something happened to Issei on his date as he lied to his parents. He always spoke to them of wanting a girlfriend, so his behavior was something that they would demand an explanation for.
Issei had no idea why Raynare used an alias, why she killed him, or why she seemed heartbroken when she went through with it. He felt many things. He felt worried about her and confused, he missed her presence a lot, but above all, he felt betrayed and angry. The next time he saw her face, he knew he would fight her if he had to, but he would at least talk to her and ask her why she did what she did and what was he to her.
As they walked to school, Issei spoke, "President, can we go to the ORC? I need to talk to you as well as Vali and Irina. They deserve an explanation for what happened."
Rias nodded. "Of course."
Once they got there, Issei told everyone at the club and his two friends what happened on his date. Vali and Irina were livid. Irina covered her mouth with both hands in disgust at what the Fallen Angel did.
"I have a request. If you ever cross paths with Raynare, please do not kill her. I want to talk things out with her."
Irina uncovered her mouth and glared at Issei. "Issei! She killed you! How can you expect Vali and I to just forgive her?!"
Issei sighed. "I said nothing about you forgiving her yet since that will take a while, I just don't want you to interfere if I manage to have a conversation with her. Same goes for you, President. I... I love Raynare. She seemed so incredibly sad when she killed me, and when she stabbed me, she flew off like she was trying to get away from me, from everything, and just be alone. I don't even know what kind of people the Fallen Angels are for you Devils to hate them so much, but I promise she is not like them. I could sense it, the goodness in her heart. If I manage to forgive her, I am sure all of you can too."
Rias was glaring at him, but she relented with a sigh. "Fine."
Suddenly, there was a bright green flash in the room that caused everyone to shut their eyes. When they opened them, Rias was the most shocked to see Issei had with a red gauntlet covering his entire left arm. Issei looked confused.
"W-What?! Issei, you managed to awaken your sacred gear, and I thought it was just going to be a Twice Critical, but what you have there is one of the Thirteen Longinus, specifically the Boosted Gear! That means you are the Red Dragon Emperor!" Rias exclaimed.
("Indeed he is. Hello, my name is Ddraig. It's finally nice to be able to talk to you partner.")
Issei still looked confused, but responded in his head. 'Ddraig, I didn't really do anything special, so why is my sacred gear awake now?'
('Well, there are two reasons. The first reason is that I activated it for you since I deemed you worthy after what you said about forgiveness; you showed you can be as angry as a Dragon but that you can control your anger. You are also willing to forgive someone you fell in love with for hurting you so badly. The second reason is that you have now been reincarnated as a Devil, which instantly made your base stats much stronger.')
Issei blinked. "Base stats?"
('Yes. Past hosts of me, past users of the Boosted Gear have permanently infused the Boosted Gear with many abilities some consider to be... unnatural. For example, stand in front of a mirror, look at yourself, and try saying the key word 'Stonehenge' to see your own stats.')
Issei was shocked that such a thing exists. He went into the bathroom and did as he was told. "STONEHENGE!" He yelled for good measure, and what he saw confirmed that Ddraig spoke the truth. He read to himself.
Stonehenge: This ability allows the wielder of the Boosted Gear to read everything there is to know about themselves.

. . . . . . .
Issei had to grab the counter to steady himself. 'Um... So, first of all Ddraig, can anyone else see this text floating across my eyes, or is it just me?'
('J-Just me. Partner, I am equally as shocked as you but for a different reason. Look where it says, 'Notable Ancestors'. Do you have any idea who Ophis and Great Red are?')
Issei shook his head. 'No.'
('They're your distant Aunt and Uncle. They're the two Dragon Gods, and both of them are among the Top 10 Most Powerful Beings In the World.')
Issei's eyes practically bulged out of his head. 'Holy shit. What does this mean for me?!'
('Nothing but good things. I know Ophis and Great Red very well since the two of them are good friends of mine. They currently reside in a place called the Dimensional Gap, and they love any Dragon who is blood-related to them. At some point in the future, they will likely visit you and maybe even train you, and if they do, you will get your ass kicked haha. Before you ask, no I do not know which of your parents are part Dragon. If I had to guess, I would pick your dad since he wants a harem, something commonly seen among relationships in the supernatural world, but I could be wrong since he seems to speak with his dick when he states that desire. Let's go talk to everyone outside, but let me warn you that you probably shouldn't go around telling people that you are the descendent of two very powerful beings that could destroy the universe.')
Issei gulped and nodded. He did whatever Rias told him to do, which for now was to make magical contracts with customers. His magic was too weak for him to teleport for now.
. . . . . . .
One day, Issei was headed home from school when he heard a squeal. He looked to the other side of the road and saw a girl dressed as a nun fall on her face. He made his way over to her and offered her hand to which she shyly took.
"Are you okay, miss?" Issei asked.
"O-Oh, I... I am fine. T-Thank you, good sir." She offered him an adorable smile.
"I'm Issei Hyoudou. What's your name?"
"Asia Argento. I'm looking for a church in this town, but I'm from Italy and my Japanese is not very good, so I have trouble asking for directions."
"I see. I think I might know where the church is. Shall I take you there?"
Asia's eyes sparkled. "Yes please!"
But on their way to the church, Issei felt a migraine as soon as he caught sight of the holy building. He decided to part ways with Asia there.
. . . . . . .
"ARE YOU AN IDIOT?!" Rias screamed at Issei.
"What?"
"Issei! That church is the territory of the Fallen Angels. You could have died or risked someone seeing you and restarted the Great War. We. Cannot. Let. That. Happen!"
Issei looked down sadly. "I-I'm sorry."
Rias sighed. "I... It's okay. I was just worried about you, that's all."
Issei furrowed his eyebrows. "I do not understand something though. Why would the Fallen Angels need Asia? Did she have a sacred gear that they're trying to use her for?"
A magic circle suddenly appeared in the middle of the ORC room, and all five of them immediately adapted their battle stances while Irina and Vali prepared to run. Out of the circle stepped a beautiful woman they have never seen before, but Rias had a feeling that she knew who this is.
"Gabriel?"
The woman nodded.
Rias sighed. "All of you can relax, she is a friendly Angel. She's one of the four Seraphims."
They all went back to their previous postures except for Irina, who only looked in awe at seeing one of the leaders of her race. She ran up to Gabriel and took her hands. "A fellow Angel, and a leader no less! Nice to meet you! I'm Irina!"
Everyone sweat-dropped, even Gabriel, but she smiled. "Nice to meet you too Irina." She turned to Rias and adopted a professional look while Irina sat down. "Rias Gremory, I presume? I was following your Rook during your new Pawn's date that ended with his death."
Koneko looked startled. "Y-You were following me?! I didn't sense you."
Gabriel smiled at her. "I am a Seraphim. Stealth is second nature to me. Michael wasn't happy with my presence not being in Heaven though."
"Why not?" Rias asked.
Gabriel looked at Issei. "Because Raynare is my daughter, and I was being selfish by trying to see what kind of man she asked out on a date. If us Angels have any family, which is usually just to keep Angel-kind well populated, we can literally tell what kind of emotions our children feel, and this is the first time that my daughter has felt a romantic sense of love, despite being ordered to kill you. Most Angels are taught by two of the four Seraphims to discourage and not develop attachments, and I am the only exception while Raphael is neutral. Ever since God died, we have forgotten compassion. I, however, love my daughter very much."
Issei's jaw dropped before he recovered rather quickly. "Raynare's mom is right before me telling me God is dead. What the hell is my life anymore... May I ask why Raynare fell from grace and why she killed me? Does she even know you're her mother? I still love her, despite what she did."
Gabriel gave him a sad look. "I can't answer the first part of your question, which you will need to ask my little Raye herself. She killed you because she was ordered to do so, and she does know that I am her mother, but I have not been able to have a conversation with her since before she fell."
"By whom was she ordered to kill Issei?" Rias asked.
Gabriel's eyes narrowed. "That war-mongerer Kokabiel. I need to warn Azazel about him, but I stopped here to warn you of his plans. He's planning to have his underlings, such as Raynare and her three friends at the church, kill Asia Argento for her sacred gear."
Issei grit his teeth in anger. "Dammit!" He felt like he only had himself to blame if Asia gets hurt.
"Issei, something happened that convinced me to come here and see you," Gabriel said. "Right after my daughter killed you, she went to the church and I heard her pray for forgiveness, for your forgiveness and for you to be accepted in Heaven, despite you being reincarnated into a Devil. You may not know this, but Devils cannot be accepted into Heaven, and even though she didn't know what happened to you, such an act of kindness has never happened before. I cannot force you to feel a certain way, but my daughter truly loves you and meant every word of it, and Fallen Angels are usually never even close to as emotional as she was when they pray. As her mother, I am not angry at her at all after how devastated she was over your death. I am so sorry for what she did to you. Please forgive her in the future, even if you cannot do so now."
Gabriel did something that shocked everyone and bowed to Issei, who was so shocked that he might as well be dead.
("HAHAHAHAHA! AN ANGEL BOWING TO A DEVIL?! NOW THAT'S FUNNY!") Ddraig roared.
'Stop being rude, Ddraig!'
"Please raise your head, Gabriel. You should not be apologizing for your daughter's deeds. She is in a precarious situation, and she needs us to work together for her sake." Issei said.
Gabriel smiled and nodded. She then looked at Rias. "I can't predict everything that my daughter is going to do, but I think Raynare and her three friends might be planning to enroll here at Kuoh once they think it is safe. What will you do? My advice would be that you should allow them to attend."
However, before they could respond, Gabriel felt something, being the overprotective mother she is for her daughter, in Raynare's emotions: Fear. Pure unadulterated fear for one's own life. She looked at Rias and said, "I sense Raynare is in danger. Could you please help me? If you're willing to do so, meet me at the church at the edge of town." She immediately teleported to Raynare's location.
"If you're going, take me with you please." Vali said. "Issei awakened his sacred gear after being put in a life-threatening situation, and since I am already part Devil, I might be as strong as Issei is now even without my sacred gear."
"I'm coming, too!" Irina stated.
Rias looked at them like they're crazy, but reluctantly nodded. She saw this as an opportunity to do something that would strengthen Devil ties with the Angels while also making themselves enemies with Kokabiel. "Before we leave, I need to send a message to my brother."
She quickly scribbled a very brief letter addressed to Sirzechs on a blank piece of paper before teleporting it to his office.
The letter read, 'Big brother, an emergency has come up. Something is happening at the Kuoh church. We are going there to assist the Seraphim Angel Gabriel in protecting her daughter, Raynare, who is a Fallen Angel, as well as her friends from Kokabiel's forces. I need your help please.'
. . . . . . .
Raynare, as the leader of her squad of four Fallen appointed by Kokabiel, ordered her three friends to teleport to Kuoh Academy and ask Rias Gremory for help when Asia showed up because Asia was currently being held at gun point by Freed Sellzen, hence the need for help. She figured both sides will be sending reinforcements. Her friends, however, refused to leave.
"In the name of our Holy Father, I've always wanted to kill you, Asia Argento, for healing an injured shitty Devil all those years ago. Die, bitch!"
Raynare threw a very precise light spear that struck the psychopath in the shoulder of his gunslinging arm. He fell to the ground and howled in pain. Asia ran over to Raynare. "Dohnaseek, protect Asia!" She ordered, to which the fedora man nodded. However, before she could finish him, a massive energy spike ensued in her senses as hundreds of exorcists teleported right in front of them as well as the one person she hated more than anyone. "Kokabiel..." She snarled.
Kokabiel frowned at the sight of Freed rolling on the ground in pain with a light spear sticking through him. He then glared at Raynare, who shivered in fear. "Raynare, you had one fucking job. I never thought you would betray me, so before I kill you, I do have to say congratulations on doing such a good job at selling your false loyalty to me so perfectly. Now I'll give you and your friends two choices: Hand over Asia Argento, and I'll make your death as painless as pos-"
"NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!" A terrifying voice, amplified through the use of magic, screamed. It was Gabriel who appeared directly behind the devilish Fallen Angel, and it wasn't just her. Azazel was next to her, frowning at his insubordinate former subordinate.
"Mother?!" Raynare shouted in shock. Her comrades were also surprised, but it didn't end there. More magical circles appeared with Sirzechs and Grayfia Gremory stepping out, and out of one particularly large circle came the person she loved. "Issei!"
Issei looked behind him and gave her a bittersweet smile, determination in his eyes, his Boosted Gear already equipped. "Raynare, Stay back and protect Asia! We'll handle this!" Raynare, seeing the Boosted Gear, simply nodded as she and her comrades got on the defensive.
Kokabiel was now utterly annoyed, his plans foiled, but he wasn't a suicidal maniac wanting to face against such impossible odds. "Kill them all!" He ordered his exorcists before teleporting away. He wasn't expecting them to succeed at killing any of them now, but maybe they could severely injure someone important such as that Sekiryuutei brat.
Gabriel huffed in annoyance at Kokabiel's cowardice before she sighed. She smiled. "Azazel, Sirzechs, Grayfia, Rias... Thank you for coming. Don't hurt the small group of Fallen Angels under the Jesus Christ crucifix, my daughter and her friends are there."
"Um, ladies? There's something I need to say," Dohnaseek spoke quietly, not wanting the Gremory Devils to hear him, catching the attention of the other three Fallen Angels as well as Asia. "In case we need to retreat, I thought the four of you should know that I know a place in Tokyo that Shemhazai set up as a safe haven for Fallen Angels. It is a very well kept secret by magic that even Kokabiel doesn't know of its existence because Shemhazai created it when he was suspicious of what Kokabiel was up to. It's basically Grigori #2. Shemhazai only entrusted Azazel and Baraquiel with this knowledge."
Issei was the only other person who heard this. He dodged a sword aimed for his stomach, elbowing an exorcist hard in the face and breaking their jaw, knocking them out before he turned to Dohnaseek. "Then go there right now. When this fight is over, we cannot risk having you or these other Devils attack you."
"What?! What about you, Issei?!" Raynare said in worry, to which Issei smiled.
"Trust me, I'll be fine. Now go!" They teleported away.
"Issei where did your girlfriend go?" Rias asked.
"I told them to take Asia somewhere safe, somewhere far away."
Vali was the first to launch an offensive. He sent a vicious punch that knocked out one of the exorcists before he backflipped over two exorcists to dodge their swords. Issei immediately rushed in to help his friend.
Irina picked up a blueish-gold sword that a blue-haired girl handed her. "This is Durandal. Take it. My name is Xenovia Quartet, and Gabriel brought me here since I wield the holy sword Excalibur, but Durandal won't obey me. It's looking for a new master. I'll just have to use my Holy Sword then."
Irina nodded and smiled gratefully. "Thank you."
Sirzechs and Grayfia decided to help Rias while Azazel and Gabriel toyed with a small group of exorcists outside. In truth, they were stalling since all four of them wanted to see how powerful the Sekiryuutei. Grayfia, however, was a little worried for her nephew.
"Power. Power! Please, I need your POWER!!!" Vali screamed as he headbutted one exorcist and jumped back to dodge a sword.
Issei did the same thing and landed with his back touching Vali's. "You good, bro? You look tired."
They were both panting. Vali grinned a battle-crazed smile. "Speak for yourself. I'm just fucking getting started!"
["If it's my power you want, then you can have it, partner! You have more than proven yourself to be a worthy host! Go kick their asses! DIVINE DIVIDING!"]
Vali's entire body turned flashed white and his right arm transformed into a white gauntlet with a dark blue gem in the middle. He couldn't reach his Balance Breaker yet, much like Issei, but he was happy since this was a start.
"The White Dragon Emperor, and he's fighting alongside the Red Dragon Emperor?!" Sirzechs shouted. Grayfia almost collapsed from shock and had to grab her husband's arm for support.
Vali turned to Grayfia. "Auntie, don't worry about me. You helped raise me until I met Issei, remember? It's thanks to you that I'm such a badass."
("About damn time that your host reached his first evolution, Albion. Oh, and Albion and I made peace with each other, mainly because our hosts are great friends. Our hosts can't seem to reach Balance Breaker yet, but these two never quit.")
["You're goddamn right, Ddraig."]
This was unheard of, peace between the Two Heavenly Dragons, but the present leaders of the three factions were elated to hear it. Now all they needed to do before they could sign a peace treaty among themselves was to find and kill Kokabiel, but that will be easier said than done.
Issei smirked. ("BOOST!")
"Albion, what type of power can I use?" Vali asked as he grabbed an exorcist by his face and chucked him into another group of exorcists.
["Your ability is to divide the power of anyone you come in physical contact with in half every 10 seconds. That power is added to you, making you freakishly stronger and faster."]
Vali smiled. The exorcists still standing shit themselves. This battle was over before it even began.
Issei, meanwhile, was focusing on something Ddraig told him the day he unlocked his Boosted Gear.
Flashback
("Focus partner.")
"I'm trying, but it's hard to concentrate when I haven't rubbed one out in a while!"
Ddraig sighed in annoyance.
Issei smiled nervously. "Alright, I'm sorry! I'll focus."
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and did as Ddraig said.
("Now, imagine it. Spitting out water is like the sensation of when you choke after dipping your head in a pool, but instead, imagine that water to be fire. Now imagine that fire to not be painful. I can tell you're afraid to try to breathe fire, but don't be. My past hosts have described it as nothing more than taking a really heavy, long, and concentrated exhale. It's like meditating with your eyes open. If you can breathe out a huge ball of fire, you will also be able to control it, but in order to do so, you have to be connected to your inner self on a very deep, spiritual level. By inner self, I mean both your own mind as well as me. Think of yourself as Ddraig; you are not human but rather a fearsome Dragon! The world shall tremble underneath your feet! WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE, ISSEI HYOUDOU?! WHO DO YOU WANT TO KILL?! WHO DO YOU WANT TO PROTECT?!")
Flashback End
Issei was trying to do what Ddraig told him to again, except this time, he was focused, especially being in a battle to the death. This time he succeeded. A massive ball of fire spewed from his mouth, surprising everyone but Vali, who simply smirked. Once Issei ran out of breath, he immediately grabbed hold of the flame like a rope with his Boosted Gear, and he twirled it around over his head, but gently and gracefully. He brought the flames downwards with a quick flick of his wrist aimed at 50+ exorcists. They screamed in agony as they burned to death, which Issei did his best to ignore. This was the first time he was killing someone after all, but he was doing this to protect Raynare and Asia. Issei then took a slow, massive inhale, sucking up all the flames that disappeared into his nose as he closed his eyes and exhaled with his mouth to make sure no flaming balls of death came spewing out. He opened his eyes to see everyone staring at him in astonishment.
Suddenly, the fatigue of what he just did hit him full force due to a lack of enough training, and he was about to collapse and lose consciousness when Irina sprinted over and caught him. He put one hand around her and shifted his weight to lean onto her shoulder a little, looking over at her gratefully. "Thanks for the save." She nodded.
"Impressive, Sekiryuutei. What's your name, and if I may ask, why are you here?" Sirzechs, ever the peacemaker, inquired.
Issei smiled at him offered his hand to shake, to which the older gentleman did so. "My name is Issei Hyoudou. As you have already heard, due to my death, I am the newest addition to your sister's peerage." Sirzechs nodded. Issei didn't want to tell him that his girlfriend is one of the Fallen Angels that retreated.
Issei turned towards Azazel, who he recognized as one of the leaders of the Fallen Angels. "Azazel, my girlfriend killed me, but she only did so under Kokabiel's orders, so please forgive her."
Azazel smiled. "Issei, it is not my place to judge Raynare, it is the woman next to me, her mother." He gestured to Gabriel.
"MOTHER?!" Sirzechs and Grayfia yelled. "I thought Angels didn't have children because they would fall if they had sex?" Sirzechs inquired.
Gabriel nodded. "That is true, but God is Raynare's father, and we did not have sex. He simply willed her into existence."
Rias spoke, "Um... I don't mean to interrupt, but the crazy exorcist from before is still alive." Rias gestured to the now unconscious Freed.
Sirzechs nodded. "You can go home, Rias. I'll have him healed enough to live for an interrogation." Rias nodded, and her peerage teleported away except for Issei. "Grayfia, I still have some paperwork to take care of, so would you be a dear please and take him to the underworld, ready him for interrogation?"
Grayfia bowed. "Of course, my liege."
"I'll help," Azazel said, an unusually serious looked adorning his face. "There's something we need to ask him, something I am suspicious of, and I am sure that Sirzechs knows what I am getting at."
The Satan in question nodded, and the three of them teleported away.
"By the way, where is Raynare and the three Fallen Angels with Asia?" Gabriel asked Issei, who was surprised.
"I told them to teleport somewhere far away and protect Asia. I thought you knew the location of your daughter 24/7. Was I wrong?"
Gabriel raised both her eyebrows. "What gave you that idea?"
Issei panicked. "I-I um... Well, it's just that you seem to like stalking your daughter. No offense."
Gabriel pouted playfully and huffed as she teleported to home.
. . . . . . .
Issei, Vali, and Irina decided to race each other home on foot without the use of magic, agreeing that it would make a good workout and that all three of them need better stamina. They ate a rather large healthy meal for dinner that Issei cooked, which was beef curry with rice and lots of vegetables as a side.
After the three of them took turns taking a bath, Issei asked all three of them to meet him in his room. Vali sat in Issei's computer chair while Irina layed down on the left side of the bed leaving Issei in the middle.
"So what's up?" Vali asked.
Issei smirked. "Ddraig told me that the Boosted Gear has gotten more and more powerful because its different wielders have infused it with specific sacred gears, meaning right now, I have my own sub-sacred gears. I was wondering if your Dividing Gear has something similar."
Vali's eyes widened. "Actually, it does. Albion told me. I can't tell what they are though since I have no way of knowing." He furrowed his eyebrows in frustration.
"I have an ability called Stonehenge that allows me to see someone's stats if they're an ally or enemy. It tells me almost everything about you as well as myself. Do you want me to read yours?"
Vali looked up in surprise, but he immediately nodded. "Yes please."
"Stonehenge!" Issei began reading outloud.

"King Arthur is my ancestor?! That's amazing!" Irina fangirled.
Vali stuck his head into Issei's room. "Don't lose any sleep over it, Irina. You're the type of person to get too excited over something that she can't sleep."
"S-Shut up, you!" She threw a pillow at Vali, who barely dodged, laughing nervously.
. . . . . . .
Somewhere in the underworld, Azazel concentrated as he constantly used a small portion of his magic to keep the lunatic, Freed Sellzen, who is now awake and gagged by a piece of cloth, completely still as Grayfia treated his wound using her own abilities.
Grayfia made a quick phone call through a magic circle. "Sirzechs, he is ready to be interrogated."
Sirzechs teleported to his wife's location, and assessed the situation before he sighed. "Good grief, I'm already tired. Let's get this over with."
Azazel nodded. He rubbed his goatee with his free hand. "You two can do the talking, then. I'll make sure he doesn't try anything. I will also dispose of him once we're done since he is the result of the sick, twisted work of Kokabiel, who has left me with quite a mess to clean up."
Sirzechs and Grayfia nodded. Sirzechs cleared his throat and took off Freed's gag. "Listen here, this will be a lot less painful if you work with us, so why don't you come right out and just tell us who you and Kokabiel work for? What are they trying to achieve?"
Freed chuckled. Usually, he would insult these 'shitty Devils', but he didn't want to push his luck and get tortured to death. "Let's just say, there will be nothing but," He stopped to lick his dry lips, "Khaos..."
Sirzechs' eyes widen a little. Grayfia spoke, "I see. We've heard rumors of the terrorist organization's existence, but we didn't think they were real until what happened today. Those exorcist goons Kokabiel brought with him were very well trained elite warriors and could have severely injured or even killed someone less skilled than those in our group. Unfortunately for Kokabiel, even our most inexperienced warriors, such as the Sekiryuutei and the Hakuryuukou, were able to outmatch all of those exorcists combined."
Sirzechs narrowed his eyes at Freed. "Any chance you will squeal about the location of Kokabiel's hideout or the Head Quarters of your Khaos Brigade?"
Freed joker cackled. "Nope."
Azazel spoke. "I think we got what we need." He proceeded to behead the man.
