'Thought'

"Gah!" Issei shouted as he hit the earth.

"Issei," Rias Gremory shouted as she watch helplessly from the sidelines, unable to help her pawn in his time of need.

"Hahahaha, is that all you have, Hyoudou Issei?" Vali taunted from the sky in his balance breaker watching as his rival attempted to stand.

"Bastard!" Issei growled while choking out blood.

"Come now, I expected more from rival, but this pathetic. If you can't fight properly than how will you be able to save your friends and family?" He continued to taunt, enjoying the rage he was feeling coming from Issei.

"Partner! You have to calm your emotions, if you lose control of your anger then you will die. Vali wants to torment you to get you to lose focus, do not give him the opportunity." Draig advised through his link with Issei from his left hand.

Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves and his muscles. Issei now with a clear mind look down to his left hand. "Thanks Draig."

"No problem, partner. But I believe it's best if we fall back for the time being to catch our breath."

"I can't, it wouldn't matter anyways. Even if I attempt to retreat that bastard would just hurt someone close to me preventing me from fleeing."

"Ah, I know but if you remain here and keep fighting. It would only be a matter of time before Vali finally finishes you off." Draig worried for his partner trying to reason with him.

"It's because I'm so weak that I can't even protect my friends and those I care about."

"Maybe not partner, you still have 'That' don't you"

Issei's eyes widen upon be reminded of 'That' from Draig. The last thing he wanted to hear was 'That'.

"I can't Draig, I-I won't be able to control myself and everyone," Issei look back to see Rias and her peerage, Rias's older brother Sirzech, Azazel, and Michael leader of heaven watching him intently.

"I don't wish to harm anyone if I lose control again."

"I sense your fears, Issei I know that you don't wish to use 'That' if given the choice but we no longer have a choice here. At your current level." Issei t'ch at his weakness no matter how much training he put in. He was unable to defeat anyone in a fair fight, sure with his fight against Riser he won, but he got lucky. Riser's arrogance's is what led to his defeat and him constantly underestimating Issei during their brawl. But now Issei is seeing that he had yet to make it anywhere in therms of strength.

The sound of laughter brought Issei back to the world of the living, he look up to see Vali in his white-blue balance breaker. His visor was pulled back showing his smirk of insanity as he look down at everyone.

"Hmph, if this is truly all you have Hyoudou Issei, then I'm truly disappointed. I expected much more from my rival but I guess my hopes for you were too high." Issei gritted his teeth, he would not fall for Vali's attempts to make him angry and lose focus. "I think it about time I end this, don't you think?"

Vali flew higher into the sky, he stopped at the correct height for his attack. He open his blue wings at full length.

"Half Dimension!" Vali's scared gear called out.

Pretty soon time and space were being distorted before everyone's eyes. The school itself seem to be pull inwards and outwards like a game of tug-war.

"Partner! Now's not the time to question yourself. This attack of Vali's will slowly destroy all time and space that's within it's range. If you don't do anything now, then everyone will cease to exist."

Issei shivered at the thought of failing to protect his friends. But with Draig saying to throw away his fears and fight, or stand aside and watch everyone he cares for die.

"Partner if you hesitate now when you are truly needed then you only have yourself to blame for your friends deaths." Draig said, he knew that he shouldn't be speaking this to Issei but he needs the push that will awaken him from his doubts.

No more. No more hiding in fear Issei thought, it's now or never.

Quickly reaching into his back pocket, retrieving a knife with a white glow on the blade, with a black hilt. Issei grab the knife in a reverse grip the blade facing his heart, he look back to see everyone watching wondering what he plan to do. Rias had tears in her eyes as she watch Issei from a far. Her eyes widen when she saw Issei say something to her.

Because of the distance she could only read his lips, to which she readed perfectly, saying.

"I'm sorry..." Before he stab the knife into his own heart.

Everyone watching from the sideline gasp, jaws-dropped, not saying anything. To shocked to comprehend what they just witness, Vali himself stop his attack to see Issei stabbing himself. He was about to speak when an aura of energy and magic exploded from where Issei was.

"Issei!" Rias shouted in fear making her way to save her pawn.

"Rias! Stop where you are, don't go anywhere near that!" Rias stop mid-step, looking back to see her brother Sirzech was the one who shouted for her to stop. He had a serious expression on his face, nothing she had not seen before but Sirzech was always carefree and jovially that he never had to be serious unless he was fulfilling his role as Lucifer.

"Hmm.." Azazel hummed, solely focus on the rising energy coming from Issei.

"You feel it as well, Azazel?" Sirzech question the leader of the Fallen Angels.

Azazel chuckled under his breath turning to Sirzech with a smirk, "Yeah, I already had an idea what Issei was going to do once I saw the dagger he pulled out. Although how Hyoudou Issei got a hold of that dagger is a mystery to me."

"So what do you suggest we do then?" Said Michael who had yet to speak since the start of the explosion.

"What are you three talking about? What about the knife, what is happening to Issei? Rias exclaimed worry clear on her face.

The three leaders look towards one another before Sirzech was the one to speak.

"Issei is becoming something dangerous, and powerful. What he did just now confirms that he's becoming 'That'." Sirzech pause to gauge the reactions of the others and of course they were lost. Rias asked.

"What is 'That' what is so dangerous about it, Onii-sama?"

"It's dangerous Rias because of it extraordinary power, power that is said to rival or surpass high-class devils, there has also been speculation that their power can rival those of the original four Maous before me." At this everyone minus Azazel, Michael, and the others shuddered with fear.

Something who power rivals or surpasses that of the original four Maous.

"Also," Sirzech continued after getting everyone's attention, "Although their power is great but what makes 'them' really dangerous is the fact that these beings have no self control. They lose their will and control of their body until they are nothing but killing machines. Creatures born to fight and kill." Sirzech said solemmly as he watches the explosion of light receding, the dimming of magic pressure now becoming stable.

The light show now ending, smoke covered the entire battlefield in a blanket of unknown. Everyone watch in bated breath wanting to know what happens next asking questions such as.

What happened to Issei?

There, a figure could be made out through the smoke, a shadow of a person can be clearly seen. Anticipation, everyone waited for the smoke to clear. Finally the last of the smoke was blown away, the figure was now reveal.

The figure was (6'0) feet tall, he had long brown hair, that reach his mid back. A white mask covered the man's face, the mask had two black lines going down over the eyes from the top of the mask to it's jagged teeth. Two demonic horns pointing upwards from a top of the mask. The figure wore a white sleeveless shirt under a black high-collared white coat with many ragged coattails, white hakama pants tied together with a black obi. On both of his wrist, ankles, and neck were black tuffs of fur , and he was barefooted. (Hollow Ichigo's Vasto Lorde form without the black mask instead is white.)

Everyone stared with eyes widen not saying a word as the masked individual stood there, unmoving like a stature. Vali was the one to break the silence by calling out to the masked figure.

"...Hyoudou Issei... is that really you?"

Rias and her peerage eyes widen from hearing this. Is that really Issei? They thought to themselves unable to grasp the fact that the one under the mask is Issei.

"...I ask again... are you really Hyoudou Issei?" Vali call out again.

No answer

The figure had yet to move or anything to show that it was alive, but it just stood where it stand, not moving.

Then a burst of speed that Vali could not see was backhand down to earth. An explosion of earth and dust fill the air from Vali falling at high speeds.

Issei now stood high in the air standing upright as if he were standing on land. Everyone from the sideline was shock at the speed Issei moved. No one even saw him move and now he standing on air.

Issei watch the carter that he knock Vali into, his golden and black eyes watching nonchalance.

"As we feared," Michael began.

"He's far more than we thought he would become." Azazel said with a serious expression, his earlier mood gone.

"Hyoudou Issei. He has become." Sirzech started

"A Forsaken!" The three announced together.

Hopefully you guys enjoyed. I had this chapter re-written because of the flaws and changing the name to Forsaken.

The fight between Issei and Vali will be the next chapter
