Yo! At last the Return of Aspect of Death has come, but there will be major differences in the story starting at the Cataclysm Arc. So trust me when I say it wont be the clusterf*ck crossover story that it was. There will also be a change in the way the story goes about, this first chapter is in Issei's Perspective but the next will be in Tomoki's. The story will keep switching between Tomoki and Issei, so if you are not a fan of Tomoki feel free to skip his chapters. Anyway, let the chapter begin!

ASPECT OF DEATH : RE-WRITE
CHAPTER ONE
- Black Dragon Emperor -
In the town of Kuoh, a small family of three were currently walking back to their home. They had just gotten back from buying new furniture, and a new toy for their son, Issei Hyoudou. The boy held his toy, which was a plush version of a dark dragon with fiery eyes.
"Mommy! Mommy! Look, the dragon's flying!" Said Issei enthusiastically as he swung the dragon around. "Oh wow! You should be careful, Issei. Dragons can bite!" Warned Issei's Mother playfully.
"So are dragons bad, mommy?" Asked Issei curiously as he stopped swinging his toy. Issei's mother looked at Issei with a raised eyebrow, but she would answer her son either way.
"Usually they are... Dragons are fierce and always angry. That's why they are portrayed as villains in most of today's movies." Answered Issei's Mother, much to Issei's confusion.
"But doesn't Mommy get angry too when Daddy spills his coffee everywhere?" Inquired Issei, Issei's Mother glared at her husband as she heard him snicker.
"Yes! Mommy is an evil dragon! Hahaha!" Laughed Issei's Father, much to his wife's annoyance. Issei looked at his mother with shocked eyes and was about to ask if it was true, until his father suddenly stopped walking.
"Dear, what's wrong?" Asked Issei's Mother confused. "We should be careful, I think there are a bunch of lunatics over there." Replied Issei's Father as he pointed at the direction where there were around six suspiciously dressed people.
"Those people look weird." Blurted out Issei, causing his mother to cover his mouth. "Shh! Don't talk about strangers like that!" Scolded Issei's Mother as she saw one of the lunatic's glance at their direction.
"Let's just keep walking." Suggested Issei's Father as he started to walk, followed by his wife and son. But before they could get too far, one of the lunatics got in front of Issei's Father with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Why, hello there... I couldn't help but notice that your son had quite the scent on him." Spoke the Lunatic, angering Issei's Father.
"If you even think about touching my son, you will regret it." Warned Issei's Father protectively. The Lunatic stared at Issei's Father flabbergasted, before bursting out in laughter.
"Hahahaha! Y-You think you can threaten me?!" Laughed the Lunatic before sending a fist into the gut of Issei's Father. "No! Leave daddy alone!" Pleaded Issei who already started crying.
Issei's Father tried to get up, but he just couldn't for some unknown reason. 'What unbelievable strength!' Thought Issei's Father as one punch from the lunatic literally paralyzed him.
"P-Please, take all our money, just don't hurt our son!" Pleaded Issei's Mother who offered her purse, but the Lunatic simply chuckled and before anyone realized it, Issei's Mother started bleeding from her eyes.
"W-What's happening to me?!" Blurted out Issei's Mother in shock and pain as she started screaming in pain, her screams of agony were torture to Issei's ears. While the lunatic was simply getting annoyed, he gestured for one of his fellow lunatics to finish the woman off.
Another lunatic came and held Issei's Mother up from her throat, it was clear that she was choking and would soon die if nobody stopped the lunatic.
Issei charged at the lunatic and tried to punch him, but the lunatic saw this and simply kicked Issei away, sending him flying. As Issei rolled on the ground, multiple bruises on his body could be seen, and his head started bleeding as well.
"I-Issei!" Called out Issei's Father who had soon managed to stand up, adrenaline pumping in his veins after seeing his son hurt like that. "You son of a bitch!" Cursed Issei's Father as he threw a punch at the Lunatic in front of him, the lunatic dodged and punched Issei's Father in the face before grabbing his shoulders and thrusting his knee into the gut of Issei's Father.
Issei's Father coughed out blood and fell to the ground, he looked behind him to see that Issei was struggling to get up and his wife had already fallen to the ground, lifeless...
"Apologies, but it seems that your son has quite the interesting Sacred Gear." Apologized the Lunatic as four black wings suddenly burst from his back. Issei's Father looked shocked and confused.
"S-Sacred Gear? I don't know what you're talking about..." Coughed out Issei's Father, the Winged Lunatic laughed at him. "Of course you don't, you are only a human after all." Said the Lunatic.
"And what are you, a bird?" Mocked Issei's Father with a smirk, the Lunatic growled at him and kicked him in the stomach, causing him to cough out blood.
"I'm a Fallen Angel, you pathetic human!" Said the Fallen Angel as he kicked Issei's Father in the stomach again and turned to the young boy, Issei.
'M-Mommy... She's dead?' Thought Issei in complete and utter shock as he stared at his mother's corpse not too far away from him. 'H-How...? Did a dragon kill her? Mommy said they are usually the bad guys, so did they?' Thought Issei confused and clueless.
{No... Because the Dragon is the one that will be helping you, boy.} Said a Deep Menacing voice. Issei's eyes widened in shock as he looked around him to find the source of the voice, but to no avail.
"Aww, looks like the kid is trying to look for help." Mocked the Two-Winged Fallen Angel approaching him with some sort of spear made out of light.
{Don't bother looking around, boy. For I am inside of you...} Informed the voice, much to Issei's further surprise. "I-Inside of me?" Repeated Issei confused.
"Inside of him? What is he going through puberty? Hahahaha!" Joked another Fallen Angel with two wings, while all of them were laughing, the Four-Winged Fallen Angel was watching closely as he was getting suspicious.
{I am the one sealed inside of your Sacred Gear, the reason why these Fallen ones are after your life.} Clarified the voice, Issei could barely understand, but it seems he was able to get the idea.
{Now, before I explain, I need you to get out of here... Alive. And to do that, you need to follow all of my instructions, understand?} Inquired the voice, getting a nod from Issei.
'How can I stand even a small chance against these weirdos?' Asked Issei in his thoughts doubtfully. {Lucky for you, these Fallen aren't as tough as they seem to be. They'll be like ants once you unlock my power.} Replied the voice.
'Your power? But, how do I unlock your power?' Asked Issei confused. {I want you to look at your Mother's corpse... Look closely.} Instructed the voice, Issei was confused but hesitantly looked over to his dead mother, causing tears to escape his eyes once more.
The Fallen Angel was getting closer and closer to Issei, which meant that he had to hurry and unlock the power within him. Issei didn't understand why he would need to look at his mother's corpse as it only released feelings of anger and hatred inside of him.
{How do you feel?} Asked the voice curiously. 'A-Angry... I want to beat those bad guys up!' Replied Issei angrily, the voice smirked, although Issei didn't see this.
{You want to kill them? Make them pay?} Asked the voice, stirring Issei's anger. 'Y-Yes! Kill them! I want to kill them!' Replied Issei as he clenched his fists, much to the Fallen Angels amusement.
{Kill them? How can you kill them in your current state? How would you kill them?} Asked the voice, clearly up to something. Issei's eyes glowed a dangerous orange hue for a moment.
'Grow strong! I need to grow stronger, a-and... And!' Replied Issei angrily as his eyes began switching between his normal brown eyes and a bright orange.
{And, what?! How would you kill them?!} Demanded the voice menacingly, raising Issei's spirit and anger.
"I WILL ERADICATE THEM!" Shouted Issei, much to the Fallen Angels shock, as Issei's eyes were now purely orange and a strong aura began leaking out of him.
"W-What is this?" Blurted out the Fallen Angel who was approaching Issei.
{ERADICATE!} Boomed the voice as a black and orange gauntlet formed on Issei's right hand. The Gauntlet released a powerful aura, enough to force the Fallen angels back.
"Damn! The kid unlocked his Sacred Gear!" Cursed the Four-Winged Fallen Angel before throwing a light spear at Issei. But much to everybody's shock, Issei was able to catch the spear, and crush it.
{Search your feelings, find your killing intent. Only then will you be able to fight back.} Guided the voice, Issei nodded and closed his eyes. Issei thought of what the Fallen Angels have done, killing his mother, beating his father.
Issei's eyes burst open, his orange eyes glowing brightly. As he looked around him, two fallen angels were flying towards him with light spears in hand. Issei snarled and raised his hand, opening his palm.
He aimed his hand at the fallen angel to his right and a small fiery ball began materializing in his palm. Issei pulled back his arm and thrust it back at the ball, firing it at the fallen angel.
The Fallen angel screamed in horror as he was engulfed by the ball and soon turned into a pile of ash. The other fallen angel threw a light spear at Issei, and successfully hit Issei in his right knee.
Issei cried out in pain as tears begun falling down his face, even though he may have unlocked his Sacred Gear, he was still a young boy.
The Fallen angel then flew up and threw another light spear to finish him off, but suddenly, as if another person was controlling him, Issei dodged with great skill. Issei clutched his right arm and leaped towards the Fallen Angel, much to everyone's shock, even Issei himself.
{You have performed brilliantly for such a young boy, I will carry your burden for now.} Said the voice calmingly, Issei was still surprised that the voice was able to take over his body.
'W-What is your name?' Asked Issei in his thoughts as he felt himself about to pass out. The voice smirked and using Issei's body, sent a fist into the Fallen Angels gut and smacked him down to the ground.
{I, am the Ravaging Dragon, Chroma.} Replied Chroma before his partner, Issei, passed out. As he passed out his body began to feel numb and soon started free falling from the sky, in order to keep control, Chroma would have to activate the forbidden technique.
{RAVAGING DRAGON BALANCE BREAKER!} Boomed Chroma as the Black Scale Mail began forming on Issei's small body. The Scale Mail looked like a combination of the Red and White Dragon Emperors Scale Mail's, albeit with a few different features and a different color scheme of Black and Orange.
"Balance Breaker?! At such a young age?!" Blurted out the Four-Winged Fallen Angel. {Prepare to be Eradicated, puny Fallen Angels.} Announced Chroma as he teleported behind the Fallen Angel and clipped two of his wings before ripping them out violently.
The Fallen Angel screamed in agony before Chroma grabbed his neck and snapped it, the Dragon then threw the lifeless body of the former Four-Winged Fallen angel at the two other Fallen Angels flying towards him.
Chroma then fired a powerful energy ball at the two fallen angels, successfully killing them. Only two Fallen Angels were left, and at the site of their group leaders demise, they began to flee in horror.
But Chroma would not let them get away, the Dragon smirked and unleashed his aura for all to sense. The fallen angels lost their ability to breath just by being in the presence of this menacing aura, running out of air they fell to the ground, slowly dying.
Elsewhere, a multitude of powerful and influential beings would feel the aura of the Ravaging Dragon engulf the entire planet for a few moments, before the aura vanished like nothing.
{Now the world will know, the Black Dragon Emperor has been born.} Declared Chroma before turning around abruptly where he saw a beautiful woman with a buxom figure and silver hair flowing with the wind, watching him with interest.
"Interesting, I never thought that the Ravaging Dragon would ever find a host." Spoke the woman, holding her chin. Chroma simply glared at the woman before he felt Issei's body beginning to give out, using Balance Breaker must've way too much for the young boy.
"Your host will die if you remain in that state." Stated the woman, hinting towards the Scale Mail. Chroma agreed and de-materialized the Balance Breaker armor.
{Who are you, woman?} Asked Chroma suspiciously. The woman smirked and simply headed towards Issei's breaking body.
"I... Am Death." Replied the woman as she then began healing the boy.
...
A few hours later, Issei would wake up in a cave somewhere in a forest. The boy assumed that the Dragon he met, Chroma, brought him here.
{Feeling better now, Partner?} Asked Chroma curiously. Issei wiped his eyes tiredly and yawned before nodding his head to answer the Dragon's question.
"Where are we, Dragon-kun?" Asked Issei as he looked around his surroundings. {A cave not too far from your hometown, I found it while flying around in your body.} Replied Chroma.
Suddenly a realization came upon Issei, his father was not here. If he was still alive, that must mean that his father is too.
"Wait, where is Daddy? And what happened to those weirdos with birdy wings?" Asked Issei confused. The Ravaging Dragon sighed before preparing to tell Issei the brutal truth.
{Your father's wounds were too much for him to handle, he died a few minutes after I eliminated the Fallen ones.} Replied Chroma honestly. Issei's heart nearly stopped beating after hearing this, first his mother, now his father?
"N-No... That cant be! I should've been there!" Cried Issei as he slammed his fist into the ground, it seems the Eradication Gear boosted his maturity rate. A young boy would act like a intelligent teenager.
{There was nothing you could do, Partner. It was his time, death is a natural part of everyone's life, eventually you will face death as well.} Stated Chroma before narrowing his draconic eyes as he felt a Godly presence appear.
"Indeed he will..." Said a feminine voice as a woman emerged from the deathly smoke that appeared out of nowhere. Issei looked at her with caution, and a small amount of lust as the woman's figure practically screamed sexy.
"W-Who are you?" Asked Issei cautiously. {Apparently, that right there... Is Death.} Answered Chroma, causing the woman to smirk.
"Right you are, Ravaging Dragon. But, Issei... You can call me, Shinigami." Said Shinigami as she approached Issei and caressed his cheek, causing the young boy to blush.
"So young, and such tragedy has already fallen upon you..." Muttered Shinigami sadly as she then stood up and offered Issei a hand. Much to Chroma's shock.
"Join me, become mine and mine alone... My Aspect of Death." Offered Shinigami, much to Issei's surprise. "B-But isn't death supposed to be a bad thing?" Asked Issei hesitantly, causing Shinigami to giggle cutely.
'Cute...' Thought Issei before shaking his head. "If you really think about it, death isn't necessarily a bad thing, nor is it a good thing. So it could be somewhere in between." Said Shinigami raising one finger.
"So... Like an anti-hero?" Asked Issei curiously. "Exactly, and let's not forget that you'd be dead if I didn't heal you." Replied Shinigami with a smirk, surprising Issei.
{Your body couldn't handle the Balance Breaker and was quite literally, breaking down. She saved your life.} Clarified Chroma, Issei then understood and stared back at the woman who claimed to be death.
"Thank you for saving my life, Shinigami-chan!" And with those words spoken, Issei decided that this woman was worth giving his life to.
Starting that day Issei Hyoudou, the Black Dragon Emperor would be trained by multiple powerful deities and he would befriend thousands of Gods and such. His charms as the Black Dragon Emperor would cause many to fall in love with him, and a few to consider him family. But in the end, Shinigami was Issei's true family now and forever.
*20 Years Later, Asgard*
The powerful Norse God, Thor was currently in a sparring match with the infamous Black Dragon Emperor, or as his friends knew him, Issei Hyoudou. Thor grinned at the exciting challenge that Issei brought to him, which is also one of the reasons the Norse God always enjoyed the boy's visits.
Thor raised his hammer, Mjolnir and lightning struck down from the skies, Issei, who was in his Balance Breaker extended his arm and a powerful beam could be seen charging up.
As the bolt of lightning began aiming for Issei, the Black Dragon Emperor fired the powerful beam.
{MASSACRE!} Boomed Chroma as a powerful beam of destruction collided with the bolt of lightning fired by Thor. The beam completely overpowered the bolt of lightning and soon hit the God of Thunder, causing a massive explosion.
As the smoke from the explosion dissipated, the Norse God could be seen chuckling, his armor dirty and damaged. Thor wiped some sweat on his forehead and de-materialized his hammer, Issei smiled and descended on to the ground, de-materializing his Scale Mail.
"Once again, I've been defeated by you, Issei." Admitted Thor before fist bumping with Issei.
"You'll probably catch up someday, but for now, how about we get a drink?" Suggested Issei, grins forming of both of their faces. "An excellent idea." Agreed Thor.
...
"Ahhh! This substance you always bring with you is truly delicious!" Cheered Thor as he drank what we humans know as, Coffee.
"Oh, you mean coffee?" Inquired Issei as he drank some of Asgard's wine. "Coffee! That's it! A drink for the Gods indeed!" Said Thor as he then finished his cup of coffee.
"Another!" Demanded Thor as he slammed his cup into the ground, breaking it in the process. Issei sweat dropped at the Norse God's display, but before any of the two could speak, the doors to the dining room burst open.
"Thor! Are you breaking things again?!" Demanded a silver-haired woman with brilliant violet eyes, a curvy build and overall an extreme beauty. Thor paled at the sight of their strongest Valkyrie, Freya.
"F-Freya... I can explain." Pleaded Thor as he felt Freya's aura grow wider, however this soon changed as when Freya looked to the other side of the table Thor was on, sat Issei Hyoudou, a man that not only she wanted to claim, but so did Hella and dozens of other Asgardian women.
"I-ISSEI HYOUDOU?!" Blurted out Freya in shock before quickly kneeling down in front of him in respect. Thor sighed in relief as he then tried to sneak out, but Freya saw this and tied him up using some magical rope.
"Ah, how are you today, Freya?" Greeted Issei with a smile that many women would die for. Freya could practically feel up an orgasm, but she had to appear strong in front of the powerful being, and the one she loved.
"I-I'm fine, Lord Issei. May I ask what you're doing in Valhalla? Not that I'm complaining of course!" Asked Freya, clearing some things up. Issei chuckled at her display, while Thor merely sighed, struggling to set himself free of the rope.
"Oh, the usual, I was just training with Thor over there." Replied Issei as he pointed over to Thor, who hesitantly smiled when Freya glared at him. "I see..." Spoke Freya before turning back to Issei.
Issei was about to ask Freya to free Thor, but a stopwatch he kept in his pocket suddenly rung, which meant that he had to go.
"I'm afraid I need to head off now, good luck with all of this." Announced Issei as he prepared a magic circle to leave, much to Freya's sadness as she wanted to speak with him a bit more.
"Thank you, hopefully I will come out unscratched." Thanked Thor who thought that Issei was wishing him good luck. "I was speaking to Freya." Deadpanned Issei as he then disappeared in the magic circle.
As Issei disappeared, Freya turned to Thor with a murderous grin, Thor paled as he continued wagging around in an attempt to escape.
*Kuoh*
Issei appeared through the magic circle somewhere in a forest, he looked around himself and found his old hometown not too far away from him. Issei took a deep breath and walked towards his hometown.
"It's been a few years hasn't it?" Inquired Issei with a small smile, he looked ahead as the sun shined on his skin.
{Quite a few indeed.} Agreed Chroma as he remembered the place quite well, it was the same place that his partner had awoken him, and the place where he became an Aspect of Death.
"I've been training for years, time to put it into serious work!" Declared Issei as he flexed his features and began heading towards his hometown.
...
{By serious work you mean, enroll to a school filled with devils?} Inquired Chroma sarcastically. Issei groaned in frustration and put his head down on the table of the apartment he had rented thanks to the help of Great Red, the Brother of Chroma.
"Shut up!" Exclaimed Issei as fake comedic tears began flowing out of his eyes. "It's not my fault that Serafall was able to convince me to enroll into that school so that I could keep watch over her sister!" Complained Issei.
{You just allowed her to convince you because you knew you'd get some later that night...} Deadpanned Chroma, much to Issei's annoyance.
"Yeah right! I get enough ladies as it is!" Argued Issei with a small perverted smile. {Yes, and you wouldn't have such an enormous harem if it weren't for me.} Stated Chroma.
"And you wouldn't be able to reveal yourself to the world again if it weren't for me." Stated Issei, earning a smirk from Chroma. {Then I guess we wouldn't be complete without each other.} Said Chroma, getting a confused look from Issei.
"Don't tell me..." Blurted out Issei, much to the confusion of Chroma. {What is it, Partner?} Asked Chroma cautiously.
"Dragons can become... Gay?!" Shouted Issei in shock, and to add salt into the wound, the laughter of a certain bike maneuvering Dragon God could be heard from the Dimensional Gap, which logically nobody should be able to hear but Chroma can break some rules of reality.
"Oh, is Chroma turning gay? Certainly an unexpected development!" Spoke Shinigami out of nowhere. Issei was slightly startled but he soon composed himself and turned to face his Master.
"Shinigami-sama, how may I serve you?" Asked Issei as he kneeled down in front of her, causing her to giggle cutely. She soon gestured for him to rise, which he did.
"I already told you to stop with the formalities years ago, but that's not what I came here to tell you..." Said Shinigami as she took a seat on the table. Issei nodded and looked at his Master with a serious expression.
"I wanted to tell you... Or more specifically, Chroma, that he wont be alone anymore in that curious head of yours, Issei." Informed Shinigami, much to the confusion of the Black Dragon Emperor.
{What exactly do you mean by that, Shinigami?} Asked Chroma suspiciously, Shinigami responded by materializing a pair of hooks that gave off an aura of pure death and despair.
"W-What is that?" Asked Issei slightly baffled by the amount of death radiating from the pair of hooks, it almost matched his aura of death. Shinigami chanted a few words and soon the hooks disappeared, Issei could tell that his body was forced to absorb the essence of the hooks, essentially becoming a second Sacred Gear.
"Hooks of an ancient God of Death, I bestow them to you, my cute Aspect of Death." Replied Shinigami with a wide smile. Issei gulped and nodded, nervous that he technically had a God of Death within him now.
"So does that mean he will be able to communicate with me, like Chroma?" Asked Issei curiously, Shinigami nodded at this and Issei sighed after hearing her reply.
"Don't worry, he is still dormant, so you'll have time to prepare." Reassured Shinigami, Issei nodded and crossed his arms in deep thought. Shinigami smiled and continued to watch her underling, when she had saved him, it didn't take long for him to officially become her representative in this planet. However he wasn't the strongest, she still had incredibly powerful representatives out there in the wide universe.
Shinigami remembered when Issei was introduced to one of her representatives that loved to destroy planets for fun. When he had been informed that his master had a representative in the Planet, Earth, he quickly pulled all of his forces and traveled to another galaxy to wreak havoc. Issei's presence alone had basically saved the planet from an alien invasion.
Aspect's of Death were by far the strongest of Shinigami's forces, God's of Death like Anubis and Morrigan not too far behind them. But when it came to reporting the most important information, the Aspect's of Death were the ones Shinigami approached.
"Anyway, is there anything else you need from me?" Asked Issei as he looked up and met Shinigami's gaze. She smiled and stared back at him.
"Actually... There is one thing I want..." Replied Shinigami pointing at Issei's crotch. Issei saw this and sighed as he began undressing, this was one of the reasons Shinigami's favorite was Issei, she normally had sexual intercourse with him, something she couldn't do with her other representatives like one of her strongest Aspect's of Death, Freeza, who didn't have any genitals.
"Time to have some fun..." Muttered Shinigami before pouncing on Issei with a lustful grin.
THE END
Yo! Im sorry for the delay, truth is this chapter should've been ready a month ago, but a few things have been getting in my way, but nevertheless the Re-Write is here! Although this chapter may seem familiar, because it's basically the first few chapters of the original. Like I've said, not too many changes for the first arc, I did change a few things as you can see with Issei passing out instead of him utterly annihilating the Fallen Angels. Issei is still perverted, but he knows his limits.
Next chapter will be from Tomoki Komaeda's perspective, so if you liked Tomoki then hurray for you. The original members of the Cataclysm will be making small cameo appearances here and there, but their true debut will be in the second Arc. Many crossovers will be cut off in this Re-Write, so no more Danganronpa Characters (Except Nagito), No more Overwatch characters and all the other unnecessary filler.
Hopefully this Re-Write will fix this story which has been abandoned for months. And I hope you guys enjoy as well, don't forget to Fav and Follow!
