Years before the Great War that nearly destroyed the world, the eight headed beast known as YAMATO NO OROCHI brought untold destruction and devistation upon mankind. Though many people tell the legend differently, one man brave enough faced the hydra beast and killed it. He severed the eight heads but unknowningly created eight more creatures, each one wielding a different element. The names of these beasts have been forgotten by time, except for two: Balkzardan and Jyarumu.

These two were the Light(Balkzardan) and the Shadow(Jyarumu) elements who seemed to vanish after their final battle away from the land of the rising sun, be it that they battled in China or Mongolia, no one knows. They battled so violently that in the end, they fused together in a massive sphere of flesh. This sphere morphed into the creature called Bagan, Death's reincarnate in monster form. It took the remianing children of OROCHI to seal the abomination away, but the beast would not be beaten so easily as he cursed a child of the future to be his champion and seal his life to his own.

Years would pass and people began to forget the curse and the beast, replaced with the Great War and its aftermath. However, the beast's curse appeared upon the birth of Issei Hyoudou, a circle that had a pure white half and a pure black halve with a blood red triangle in the center of it. But no one noticed as the symbol of the curse sank into the babes skin, but the beast woke from his imprisoned slumber and smiled darkly...

Issei Hyoudou had just finished his homework when his phone rang, seeing that it was Yumma (AKA Raynare) calling him. "Hi, Yumma!"

"Ise, can we talk?" The fallen asked quickly, almost like she was afriad.

"Whats wrong?" The brown haired boy was up quickly as he grabbed a jacket and got out of the front door.

"Someone is following me and-" He heard a scream before the line went dead, Issei paniced and started running.

He remembered that Yumma had gone shopping today so she had to be close to the mall, he sped up and was at the mall minutes later. Looking around, Issei found nothing until he heard a scream coming from inside the mall.

'RAYNARE!' He thought as he got through the automatic doors and found his girlfriend, tied up and dangling from the fourth floor of the mall.

"Ise! No its a trap!" She yelled but Issei was runing up the stairs only to be blasted back from an explosion.

Issei was on his feet and looking around before he was sent flying into the air, landing with a sickening thud on the polished floor. He started to get up again when a voice stopped him.

"Well, it looks like he has the will be no skill to use it. Too bad, kill him."

"Yes Master"

Issei felt his body erupt in pain before the sensation of burning happened, he screamed unable to do anything. Raynare watched as her boyfriend burned, tears forming as the Devil looked up at her and grinned in a sickening way.

"Get her down here" He ordered.

The blacken corpse however twitched, before the skin on its back glowed. The symbol appeared and flashed over and over, get brighter and brighter until stopping completely. The body slowly lifted itself up, before the sound of bones snaping and crunching was clearly heard and made the Devils turn to watch in horror. The bones forced their way out of the black skin and started forming armor as the body started morphing into a creature that stood taller than a horse, with three horns growing from its head.

"Death...rip...burn...rroOOAARRUGH!"

On the beasts right arm was a structure that emitted a blade of pure light, the left had multiple purple structures that surrounded the base of the three fingered hand, glowing with unearthly power in the center of the hand. The head had finished forming, red glowing eyes burned as a huge nasal horn reflected the light blade's glow, the other two horns curled around so they faced forward. With the transformation completed, the beast roared a battle cry before leaping at the first Devil.

The blade of light cut the devil down, as it raised its left hand and a purple beam of energy turned the second level of the mall into rubble, crushing the devils that had been under it. The Devil leader charged the beast but found himself impaled on the light blade, the creature looked at him before its lips curled into a evil grin.

"I have been sleeping for far too long, lets see what I've missed" It hissed before its other hand sank its claws into the devil's skull, making him scream.

"So much knowlage," It mused before letting go and growled "Go tell the one called Sirzech Lucifer that BAGAN has awaken from his imprisoned slumber"

Bagan tossed the Devil away, the body never hit the floor as it dissappeared. Bagan then turned to the remaining devils, his lips curling into a sadistic grin "Diamond Storm"

Instantly, plasma shaped diamonds erupted from his 'wings', killing all of the devils before the beast looked up and noticed Raynare.

"So, your my champions chosen...Another that can join him in his quest to show the world of my return"

Raynare gulped before he fell and was caught by the creature, its eyes gleaming in the quiet mall.

"Now, lets see if I can make you my Wraith"

It would be several hours before Issei woke up, he barely remembered what had happened in the first place. Good thing too because if he remembered it all, then he would probably be insane. But he remembered what Bagan did to Raynare, he forced her to drink his blood from both sides as one side was completely light and the other shadow.

"Issei, your awake" Raynare said sleepily to him, her eyes had bags under them.

"Yeah, I'm up. You should get some sleep, I'll get us home OK?"

She tried to say no but her body worked against her and she was sleeping in his arms peacefully. He carried her out of the ruined mall and into the cold night, all the way back to his and Raynare's home.

Began watched as his champion walked away from the mall, he was strong but only because of her. The beast of death knew that the boy wouldn't last against either Dragon Emperor with his lifestyle, making a mental note to correct that ASAP.
