Prologue 3: Adopted
That was 6 years ago though. Issei vaguely remembered the stuff that happened in between those 6 years. He also didn't have anyone to call a friend since him joining the angels and losing his voice. And why you say it? Well, the only friend Issei had remembered was his first friend from Heaven, Mittelt, who had… how did you say it? Turned towards more sinister intentions causing her to fall from grace at the age of 8. Which was why he only remembered that certain happiness because right after that, Issei was trained in a more exclusive area for about four years. To achieve regaining his strength, power, and voice (even it means a false sense of it) as well as understanding some of his mistakes.
During the first month of the second year, Mittelt had become lonely without Issei's presence? So, she decided to sneak out the Gates of Heaven and ironically had met some Fallen Angels. Who was the reason why Mittelt had to join the Fallen, their foul lies and manipulations had caused poor 8 years old Mittelt to go rogue.
And when Issei came back from his meditation, he didn't find himself tackled to the ground by an overly happy Mittelt. No, he found himself being told of what had happened to his friend, from Gabriel herself. Issei couldn't believe something like this could happen over in just 3 ½ weeks.
It was from this time that Gabriel found that Issei couldn't fall from grace as he shows worrisome, sadness, guilt, depression, and feeling betrayal as it took a turn out for the worse as his anger shows up. After that, he spent the time inside his room sitting in a recliner and looking off into the ceiling.
Gojira spoke to the boy, trying his best to make sure Issei was pulling through his depression. However, Adrielites are more driven to be emotional and intellect than dragons. It was difficult for Gojira to help him to move on the subject of Mittelt or even those who died on that day.
"Issei-Kun?" a feminine voice said cautiously. Issei looked away from the starry sky on the balcony to find Gabriel looking at him. "How are you feeling today Issei-kun?"
Issei shrugged his shoulders earning a soft scowl from Gabriel. She quickly changed her scowl back into a smile, she made her way over to Issei's side. Gabriel leaned against the balcony rail to gaze at the stars, Issei did the same as Gabriel. They stood there for a good minute looking at the stars until Gabriel cleared her throat.
"Um, Issei-kun?" Gabriel whispered as she peeked a glance at Issei. "How are you doing? Are you feeling well?"
Issei shows a pained smile when shrugged his shoulders lazily, not really caring about the question being asked. He just stood there looking off impassively at the sky.
"*sigh* Issei, I was thinking. Maybe it would b best for you to go to a public school. Just to make friends and get out more," Gabriel offered, "I know how intelligent and powerful you are, but that doesn't mean that for you to live a lonely life. I'm worried for you, Issei-kun!"
Issei looked away from the sky and looked at Gabriel with his eyes. He saw the worrying and sadness in her eyes. Issei knew that Gabriel would ruin her beauty with such stress being piled on top of her. Issei grabbed her hand softly to which Gabriel accepted and he began rubbing her hand with his other to comfort her.
Gabriel smiled at him in appreciation, "Thank you issei-Kun for comforting me. So will you please accept my offer?"
Issei nodded his head before letting go of Gabriel's hand. He walked back inside and sat down on the right side of his bed. Gabriel followed behind Issei, sitting on the left side of the bed. "You must be thinking about her, huh? But then again you could be thinking about other stuff? You were always the one nobody couldn't read."
Issei leaned back against his elbows, as he listened to Gabriel talk, "Hahaha, your eyes always tried to show little to none emotions, whenever you look at me in the eyes." Gabriel chuckled lightly, before looking back at Issei's backside.
"You always had that expression, 'I don't care what happens' look in your face," Gabriel continued on, "Issei this is the reason why I want you to go to a school. So you could try to understand others' feelings."
Issei continued to listen to Gabriel's feelings, as far as he can tell Gabriel wanted what was best for him, but he did understand people's feelings or so he thought. Issei turned around and touched Gabriel's left shoulder catching her attention.
A magic circle appears on Issei's hand that was touching Gabriel's shoulder. The magic circle shows a number 2 with a heart surrounding it, two pair of wings on the sides that are rotating and about grew in size as a voice says, "I will strive for your expectations, Gabriel." This brought Gabriel's spirits up before the magic circle fades.
"I'm glad you agree, Issei. I hope this helps you open up more and move on faster. Michael told me that if you accept, then you'll be studying over at Kuoh." Gabriel explained earning a nod from Issei.
"Great! Tomorrow you'll be leaving then. I really do hope this helps you Issei," Gabriel said once more, before getting up and walking towards the doors. As she was about to leave, she turned around and smiled briefly at Issei before walking out the room.
*Screeeeeeeeech zoooooom*
The sound of planes flying over the airport rang into the ageless Issei newly last named Hyoudou's ear. While one of his hand covered one of his ears {Adrileite hearing are so advanced that loud noise such as a plane hurt their hearing}, he had just stepped out of the airport's main terminal.
He was looking around for his ride that he was promised. As he looked around the busy pickup area, he spotted a woman in a formal suit holding a sign with his name on it next to a blacked out SUV.
Issei made his way over to the woman who had spotted him automatically. "You must be Issei?" The woman said which Issei nodded his head to answer the question. "Alright then, my name is Oracle. It's nice to meet you Issei-kun." Oracle bowed respectively, as Issei did the same.
"Okay then, let's get you to meet your new family, shall we?" Oracle said as she opened the backdoor letting Issei in. Oracle got right in after Issei, before shutting the door. "Alrighty then, driver can you please take us to Issei's new home."
"Yes, Ma'am," The Driver answered back, before driving off.
"Well Issei, welcome to Kuoh Town. How does it feel to be adopted from a family in an unfamiliar place?" Oracle asked.
The magic circle appeared on his right hand as a voice says, "Well, there's a first time for everything including of being adopted without seeing the family and as a teenager."
Then, Oracle handed him a folder which Issei accepted. She said as Issei was about to read the contents of the folder, "The town you about to live in is under the control of the Gremory and Sitri devils. Her orders on that subject are to leave them be until they find out that you're an angel. You will be the representative for the Angel fraction should you be discovered. That is the third objective you were sent."
Issei rises an eyebrow at that before looking into the folder, seeing it separated into three categories. The first two categories are info on the two devil and their peerages. It was all too apparent that one of the two groups would represent more of a problem than the other.
The Sitri group all had standard backgrounds and had been recruited under Sona Sitri by a mutual agreement.
Rias Gremory on the other hand… had a potential powerhouse of a peerage. The problem was that they had all been through a traumatic experience that brought them to her.
His 'voice' circle wasn't turned off, "Wait just a second… the Gremory Heiress has the other holy sword project survivor?"
Oracle nodded her head, "Yes, Isaiah, or Kiba Yuuto as he's now known, was the other survivor. Rias Gremory had apparently been in the area with her brother when she stumbled upon him."
Unknowingly to the Oracle, Issei sighed in relief as one of his burdens became lighter.
Flipping through the profiles, Issei couldn't believe the talent that she'd recruited.
"A nekoshou! A daughter of a Cadres! A dhampir that can stop time! And the holy sword project's last known survivor. Then, the king just happens to be of Bael descent and the Lucifer's little sister. Feels a bit more than just plain coincidence as well as more than third-ranked objective. What are my Primary and Secondary objectives?"
"As you know your primary objective is a simple one that you'll be enrolling into Kuoh Academy, as a 1st-year student. I was informed that the Academy had recently turned from a private all girls to a co-ed school, so the ratio of girls over boys are 4 to 1. Your secondary objective is in the third categories."
When he skipped the first two categories to the third and last category of the folder, he was met a profile of what seems to be an average 2nd-year student of Kuoh Academy. The profile reads Naomi Hyoudou.
If memory serves that his adopted family have a daughter but couldn't have any more babies and they wanted a boy for so long that they willing to adopt a 'teenager' from what Gabriel has sent to them. To deeply this is that the family's name is Hyoudou which cause to look deeper into this file. Her profile was deeply informational to say at the least. However, it appears that she has a sacred gear which labeled unknown.
Oracle answered the unspoken question, "She is your secondary objective. Your adopted older sister seems to have a dangerous sacred gear. Michael believes that she is the holder of the Boosted Gear while Gabriel believes that she's the wielder of Divine Dividing…"
Issei's left hand shook violently before he hit the hand to the car door with enough force to make his hand to not shake. Issei knows of the history between the Boosted Gear and the Divine Dividing, it angered both himself and Gojira. For himself, he was angry that these so-called Heavenly Dragons are the strongest dragons of the modern age which lowered themselves by fighting each other even using their hosts to continue their fight. That isn't what a heavenly dragon pose to acting. To Gojira, on the other hand, was extremely angers that Ddraig and Albion 'steal' his title and wanted to know as the 'True' Heavenly Dragon even that he's haven't winged.
The Oracle continues, "Your secondary objective will be protecting her from others and herself should that be the case." In other words, 'Should she acted like a threat, I have permission to take her out. Otherwise, watch over her.'
Issei looked outside the SUV's window feeling sadness to the Oracle's last statement. "*Sigh* I guess you don't like that order one bit, huh?" Oracle muttered.
The rest of the ride was pure silence, after 20 minutes they finally arrived at Issei's new home with his new family. He realized that the way they go is almost the way of returning to his former home in Osaka. Issei got out the SUV following the Oracle and made their way towards the front door.
As they arrived at the front door, Oracle pulled the doorbell. He noticed all the boxes piled up in the front of the garage entrance, which contained all of his personal belongings.
His attention switched to the front door, he was met with an average middle-aged couple with brown eyes and brown hair.
The Oracle immediately put a smile as she says, "Oh, are you Mr. and Mrs. Hyoudou?"
"Yes, we are," said Mr. Hyoudou.
"Good, I'm Jessica Chambers and I'm here to deliver your son to your house." Said Oracle who pointed to Issei who bowed in respect.
Mr. and Mrs. Hyoudou bowed their bowed as they said, "I'm Touma Hyoudou, your new father. Please take care of me." "I'm Sara Hyoudou, your new mother. Please take care of me."
However, Issei didn't introduce himself because it could ruin his mission if his voice circle appeared on his right hand and he didn't receive something to do so. That and he cast an illusion spell to hidden his neck scar.
The Oracle rushed in before the couple asked, "Sorry, your new son is born a mute."
The couple gasped at this information and said, "We're sorry, Issei. We didn't know about that."
Issei nodded his head and Oracle bowed her head to the couple and Issei. I will be leaving then Issei-kun, but don't worry your family will help you with your stuff. Ciao!" The black SUV drove away leaving Issei with his new family and house.
5 hours later, Issei and his new family had finished unpacking all of his boxes. At some point at 3:00 pm, he meets Naomi Hyoudou. She's about two inches taller than him with great similarities to his new mother. The only exceptions between her and his new mother are the age gap and Noami's brown hair is longer than Sara that seems to reach to the middle of her back.
Once he acquired his belongings to his room and with his new family. He went out in order to look around the neighborhood. Eventually, Issei arrived at the park and saw little children running around and having fun with one another. Issei decided to sit down and enjoy the peace and quiet for once.
The gentle wind blew against Issei's brown hair, as he shut his eyes enjoying the soft breezy air go through his hair. Issei opened them for halfway and thought about the supernatural beings in the town. He could sense the two High-class Devils at the Academy with their servants either with them or shatter somewhere at the town.
But he could care less about them, right now was his time to relax for once. He started thinking about his time during missions. He had made a name for himself in the supernatural world; 3rd Heavenly Dragon, King of Destruction, The Unnatural Heart of Two, Heaven's 2nd Trump Card, the Divine Beast, Punisher of the wicked, and Guardian of the most Innocent, the Whitelighter and the Silent Warrior of God.
Yup, those where some pretty impressive nicknames he had got himself, but of course they all came from all the jobs, missions he was sent on. Some were to be proud of, but others were to be ashamed of being called. Though Issei didn't care about what others think about him, it makes feels that he's an agent of Elysium once again.
"Yo, Whitelighter! How's it going?" a voice called, catching Issei's attention. There stood tall man in his mid-twenties, he had black with golden bangs in the front and a black goatee. He was wearing a black kimono to top it off. "I would have never thought that I would be meeting the Third Heavenly Dragon," the man sat down right next to Issei.
"Sup! The names Azazel, but I'm guessing you already know that?" Azazel introduced himself, Issei nodded his head conforming Azazel's theory. "Hahaha! Should have guessed by now, you must've picked up my aura, huh?"
Azazel chuckled at his words, "So how's the short vacation from the supernatural world treating you?" Issei shrugged bluntly. "Being a mute really suits you, I can't imagine you being a super pervert like, who likes big breasted women. But sometimes I feel like you can really pull it off, butttttt I don't know maybe not."
Issei and Azazel sat there for a couple of minutes before Azazel opened his mouth once more. "I guess Michael sent you here to watch over the Red Dragon 'Empress,' are you?"
Issei nodded at this as a 'yes'.
"I guess that sending my subordinates here in this town to watch over your new sister. But I do it in order to establish and honor our friendship between pure and fallen angels."
Issei gave a curt nod.
"Appreciate it, Issei," Azazel said as he got up from the bench. He started walking away until he turned around.
"Oh, and one more thing, good luck at school," Azazel carried on waving as he left.
Issei arrived back at his house at 6:35 pm. He began walking upstairs to his room and started changing out of his clothes into something more comfortable. After doing so, Issei went into the dinner table with his new family and eat their spaghetti and meatballs.
Gojira says to Issei and Issei alone as he eats, "Tomorrow is the first day of school for you. You will earn yourself a girlfriend there if you work hard enough. Kukukuku." Which Issei do everything in his power to not to fall in his food in moral turmoil at his DA's spirit.
"You know Brat, it's almost ironic that you spent here to be the representation of the angels, should the need arise, because you lived in Japan in a blink of the eye instead of living the Forerunner Earth's days," Gojira stated out, while Issei continued to listen to the Dragon's ranting.
"So, Issei? How will you handle the Devils in the school should they find out about you?" Gojira asked as Issei was eating his spaghetti.
'I won't provoke them… unless they try something funny…' Issei answered back with a thought. 'Anyways Gojira, you know already what I'm capable of doing to them.'
"Kukuku Kukuku! Of course, Brat. You can kill them all off without any trouble with ease. It's destroying the Devil fraction will take some effort." Gojira bragged.
When Issei finished eating, he gives his plate to his new mother to cleaned the dishes. When changed into his sleeping garments, Gojira says before Issei drift off to sleep, "Well anyways I think it's time for you to go to sleep now, partner. We got a big day tomorrow, kukukuku,"
Bang! The final chapter to the prologue section.
As you may know that I change the name of the red dragon wielder because I don't desire to use the same names over and over unless the name serves as significant role to do.
It's silly that the idea of people adopted some child by the use of technological not face-to-face contract but it's serves as a great idea at the moment than the 3rd chapter of the Legend Resurgence.
During his time as the angel, he have made names for himself but it could be some or most but not all. As you may know that Issei cast a illusion spell on his neck because it could be disturbing to look because the scar isn't faded and haven't fully healed. Gojira in this version wanted to regain his status as the True Heavenly Dragon instead of being the 3rd Heavenly Dragon by either beating or killing the two wielders (if he really wanted to).
Due to a lack of suggestion for his harem, I'm forced to pick out the names of the character to serves as his lovers.
