Hey guys so here's my schedule in terms of my fanfics right now. I'm going to finish my Xenoblade Chronicles 2 first, then I'll move on to The Power of Crimson Red and Emerald Green, and I'm going to postpone my Blazblue fanfic for right now because I haven't been feeling it lately. So I figured I would give you guys my schedule for right now. TPofCR&EG's most recent chapter is almost done it's going to be a huge chapter as it is almost 20 pages long at this point. XinE is almost done so that will be finishing up around chapter 20-25ish hopefully. Crimson Red and Emerald Green won't be finishing for awhile, but I'll update it hopefully biweekly, it just depends on how much free time I have. Lastly, my Blazblue fanfic will be on hold for right now until I get inspired to finish it. So a couple things before I start. There is no Red Dragon Emperor or White Dragon Emperor in this just for the sake of making it easier to write. This will be a harem. There will be minor spoilers. (I think somehow?) Vali will be in this, but I really like the idea of Fem!Vali so I'm going with that. Now for if Issei joins Rias' peerage or not I still don't know leave what you think should happen in the reviews! Also give me ideas for Issei's harem or any other cool powers you guys think of! Thanks in advance. Anyways I'm starting way too many things at once, but I've had these ideas in my head for awhile so enjoy!

"I saw a beast rising out of the sea.

The beast had seven heads and ten horns, with ten crowns on its horns. And on each head were blasphemous names of God.

The beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like those of a bear, and its mouth was like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast its own power, throne and great authority.

Juxtaposed with the Apocalypse Dragon, Great Red, it was the legendary beast recorded in the Book of Revelation—.

One of the heads seemed to have had a mortal wound, but it had immediately healed. All of the Earth's inhabitants were frightened. They worshipped the dragon which had given the beast its authority.

Everyone ran away, but I stood my ground. For some reason I couldn't move. However, I wasn't afraid. Why? I felt a connection to the beast. It was the signifier of the end of time. Why did I feel a connection?

Soon the beast's heads looked towards me. On a closer look it seemed like a hydra with just different creature heads. It called out to me for some reason. Great Red did not move a muscle, he didn't even flinch at the power. A being next to Great Red looked on with him at the sight. Only one thing came to mind when I saw her: Ophis.

Who is this? Why do I know her name? What is happening?

Soon I could feel my body begin to contort and my features grow. My arms grew black around them and wings sprung out of my back. My body became stronger and larger as black with red lines running all over my body. I could feel the power rising in me. What was happening to me? I could feel the rage swirl inside of my body.

Now I was looking at the humans run away. The giant beast was gone yet there I stood looking upon the humans. Juxtaposed next to Great Red I could feel the power rising up inside me. Soon Great Red and Ophis disappeared and I stood alone in the world. With a roar I shook the earth itself until the power welled up inside me and I released all of that power onto the world, destroying it indefinitely.

Then...it ends.

"AH!" A young boy, around 6 years old, with brown hair shot up in his bed. He was sweating and he felt out of breath. Tears were welled up in his eyes. He looked around his room and everything around him was thrown about the room. His heart was hurting, but he didn't know why. He felt hurt? No. He felt angry. The boy shook off the feeling and wiped his eyes. His throat was dry and he needed to get a drink. He got up and exited his room, carefully stepping around all the things thrown about his room. Toys, books, a lamp, glass, and even the curtains off his windows were on the floor now. How did this happen? The small boy began to become frightened. He walked out into his living room and towards the kitchen. He entered the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water, quickly chugging it. He took a deep breath and regained his composure.

Nearby the boy noticed a light coming from his parents room. He put his glass in the sink and decided he should talk to his parents. He didn't think he would be getting sleep anytime soon. The boy slowly opened the door and he heard...crying? The woman known as his mother was now crying behind the bed as she whined to her husband, the boy's father. However, the father had something else in mind. Issei heard a click and something unsheathing.

He slowly pushed the door opened.

"Mom? Dad?" The boy whimpered as something told him to run. His father just watched him with anger while his mother wouldn't even look at him. Soon he had the same feeling of anger welling up in him.

"Issei...I've had enough of this. I can't take this anymore!" His father said as he pointed a weird looking pistol at him with another one in his right hand. "T-This...is too much! Forgive me lord!"

His mom cowered in the corner as she covered her ears with her hands and shut her eyes as tears fell out of them. She whispered to nobody in particular:

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry!"

However, her whispers were drowned out by the new sight and noise Issei saw and heard. A very light yellow circle appeared in front of the gun's barrel. A loud pop soon rang out. Now known to him as a gunshot Issei flinched hard, but he never felt himself hit by the bullet that flew out. Instead he saw his father's wide eyes and his mother whispers returned. He heard the metal bullet drop to the ground

"N-No...you damned monster!" His father yelled at him as his own eyes began to become wet.

"D-Dad why? What are you doing? Why is mom like that!?" Issei said as he began to cry himself. He felt that angry feeling again and it began to grow inside. Because of his mental state he didn't notice that the area where he got shot had turned all black...

"I can't take this anymore! We promised Michael we would take care of you, but this is too much! You're a monster! I won't let this go on!" Issei's father pointed both of his pistols at Issei and began firing as fast as he could. Shot after shot rang out and Issei's mother covered her ears and cowered more and more.

"Dad...why?!" Issei said as black aura flared around him causing the windows to break and the house to shake in response.

"I'm not your father! You're a monster...just disappear!" Issei's father yelled as he rushed him with something that looked like a lightsaber. Before Issei could even recognize what was happening he screamed out.

"No...no...no! Why!? I thought we were family?!" Issei yelled and his "dad" raised his sword to kill Issei for good, but something moved on his own. He felt his arm harden and his body moved on his own as his emotions got the best of him. All Issei heard was a small whimper as he realized what he did.

"W-What?" Issei whimpered at the sight. His arm was fully black and was shaped like a claw. Red lines pulsed through it as Issei looked down. It was a little bit bigger than his arm, but since he was a kid he didn't have much of an arm anyway. However, what scared him the most was the fact that this arm looked exactly like the one in his dream and right now he felt like he was being watched. Right now though, Issei's father had a giant claw mark in his torso and immediately his light sword faded away. Issei didn't even realize what he had done until his father uttered out his last two words that would haunt Issei forever.

"You...monster…" The light in his father's eyes faded as his father looked at him with eyes full of hatred. Issei couldn't believe what he had done, but his attention was directed towards something, The whispering of his mother. It turned from a whisper into a loud prayer. Issei walked over to his mom and put his hand onto her shoulder. His mother quickly turned around and the look she gave him would also haunt himself forever.

"Glory be to the father and to the son and to the holy spirit!" His mother yelled and finally looked behind him. "Daniel!"

His mother ran to his father and crouched down over his body.

"How could you do this!? Get out! Either kill me or leave! You have no place here you monster!" His mother yelled crying over his father's body. Issei just looked as his arm turned back to normal. He looked at the blood on his hands and began to shake with tears streaming down his face. Was he really a monster all this time? Was his life a lie all this time? What was he supposed to do now? Issei did the only thing he could do. He ran. He ran as fast as he could. He didn't want to look back. He was just a kid and he was being treated like this? What the hell was happening? Issei continued to run away until he found himself lost in the shadows. Suddenly, a large figure appeared and Issei fell to the ground. Soon the darkness began to overcome Issei and he couldn't even scream anymore. He just let the figure take him. Besides what did he have to live for?

XXXXXXXXX

(12 years later)

Light.

The only thing he could see was light now. Issei slowly opened his eyes up and was met with the same ceiling he saw everyday.

"The same dream huh?" Issei sighed and threw his arm over his head. He turned over and hid his head in his pillow. He turned back up and let his eyes adjust to the light. On his desk was the same box that had been there for 12 years. He stared at the box on his desk. He contemplated opening it, but he eventually threw the thought away. He didn't know what was inside it after all. The figure that had found Issei on that fated day was the caretaker of an orphanage, Kenji Muyo. Issei reluctantly got up and walked over to the chair that had his usual clothes on it. The maid at the orphanage must have put them out for him like she did everyday. Her name was Lily and she was the daughter of Kenji. She was around his age and Issei had met her at one of the worst times of his life, but she had helped him to get back to how he used to be. The happy go lucky kid would never be the same again, but the Issei flair ,as she liked to call it, was back. His personality wasn't the most desirable. He was friendly, sarcastic, pretty funny, caring, and all those basic adjectives people use to describe themselves or others. He didn't think he was special and although he would never admit it to anyone, he was just a little bit of a pervert. It wasn't much, but he kept that side of him to himself though. Suddenly, he heard a knock on his door.

"Issei! Hurry up and wake up it's already noon! If you don't the kids are going to eat your cake!" Lily called from behind the door. Issei could tell she had her natural smile on as her voice sounded especially happy today. In fact, Issei thought Lily enjoyed his birthday more than he did. To be frank he didn't know when his birthday was, but he decided to choose September 20th as that's when the attack happened that changed his life. Lily wasn't his only friend though. Issei had made an unexpected best friend. Someone only he could ever deal with.

'You ever gonna actually ask her out?' A voice inside of Issei called out to him.

"Oh shut it. We've had this conversation before. She's literally like a mom to me Hex." Issei replied pulling his red shirt over his head as he lazily put on his jeans. He added a black and red hoodie to match.

'Heh, you see how she acts around you. You're telling me you wouldn't go for it?'

Yep. Trihexa. The apocalyptic beast himself. Issei was being inhabited by the literal incarnation of the apocalypse. Trihexa had explained it as though he was just being discriminated against for no reason. Issei had to remind him multiple times he had tried to destroy the world and that's why he was sealed. However, for some reason when he broke his seal he was weak and needed a host. That's when he saw Issei. A hybrid of sorts. He was the combination of a dragon, angel, and demon. Something that was very unexpected. Trihexa had seen other types of mixing and matching, but it wasn't often he saw something of this caliber. Originally, he had planned to use Issei's immense magical power to return to full form and destroy the world once again, but something stopped him: the angel part of Issei. While the angel part of him was extremely weak it did just the job. He couldn't even summon light now due to Trihexa, but that's why he was the perfect host for him. The angel side of him quelled Trihexa's rage over time and the beast formed a bond with Issei over the years. Originally, Issei and Trihexa hated each other. Issei blamed Trihexa for that day and Trihexa blamed Issei for being weakened. Over time though Issei began to accept what had happened as the two that stood in for his real parents weren't actually his blood relatives. They just adopted him in accordance with the Archangel Michael. When Trihexa inhabited Issei when he was born his mother and father noticed very easily. Soon he was sent off to a unknown location that not even Michael knew of and he was labeled as dead. Now? He lived in a rural town called Farwater, just outside of Kyoto. It's been 12 years since the incident and Issei still has some scars from that day, mentally and physically, but for now he was content with life. Today was even his birthday. However, it was not a happy day for him or really anyone in the household. Everyone grew to like Issei. He treated everyone like they were his blood relatives. However, once you turn 17 it was time to officially leave. He would have to drop out and either start highschool and enter college or find a job immediately and get to work. The orphanage would give him some support if he needed it, but Issei rarely accepted money from people, to Trihexa's dismay. The pair couldn't be any farther apart, but they were closer than anyone.

"Even if I did go for her I wouldn't be able to be with her. I'm leaving tomorrow remember? I can't stay here and besides...I'm an abomination in life." Issei said with a chuckle.

'Heh, you got one thing wrong. We're an abomination!' Trihexa said with a laugh. 'You always find a way to make it work partner, I'm sure you'll be fine!'

"Here's hoping…" Issei said as he walked out of his room and began down the hallway to reach the kitchen. The orphanage was huge. It was 3 stories tall and had rooms on the second and third floor. On the first was the kitchen, living room, rec room, and the showers. Issei was the only one who was on the third floor as the oldest residents got to live up there as a kind of recognition of their age. Right now he was the only one above 13 so he got to live up there alone. This let him use the third floor to help him train his abilities. He was pretty damn powerful as Trihexa would say. Except he never used his form altering powers. He only used his dark and shadow abilities. He tried to block the claws out of his mind for obvious reasons. He also noticed he had the attributes of not just a dragon, but of multiple animals. Super strength, resilience, super speed, and increased reaction time. He was a walking nuke.

Issei finally reached the first floor and was immediately tackled by a horde of crying toddlers and pre-teens.

"Woah! Guys relax!" Issei said with a laugh.

"Issei...we don't want you to go!" A girl named Emi cried on Issei's shirt.

"Yeah we need you!"

"We'll all miss you too much!"

"Who's gonna cook for us now?"

All the kids yelled at Issei and were crying and hugging onto him like a jungle gym.

'Hey that last one didn't seem very sentimental…'

Well he wasn't exactly wrong. Lily was a horrible cook and Kenji couldn't even touch the microwave without burning something. Thus Issei had been cooking since he was 8 here. One day he got tired of the food that was given to him and complained. So, Kenji just told him if he didn't like it that he just had to make it better. So he cooked for everyone from then on.

"Relax guys alright?" Issei said with a laugh. "I've been training Emi to cook so she'll be a even better cook than me!"

"R-Really?" Emi said wiping the tears away.

"Of course! You're even better than me, Em." Issei said patting her head. Some of the kids seemed to relax too as they all began to compose themselves. It was Issei's last day, even they knew that had to make it the best one out of these 12 years.

"Come on!" Emi and another boy named Isaac pulled Issei towards the table where his cake was. It looked like it wasn't very well put together and the icing on top was barely legible.

'Happi Birfdae Issei!'

"Aw did you guys make this?" Issei said as he looked at the cake. Half of it was out of love and the other half was out of fear. None of these kids could cook besides Emi and even she would have trouble making a cake. It looked like it was supposed to be vanilla cake, but instead it was grey. What flavor even is that?!

"Well go ahead and eat it already!" Another boy named Mikhail called out with pride.

"O-Okay!" Issei looked at the cake with a slightly scared look. Soon he used a fork to take a piece of cake and he put it towards his mouth.

"So uh what did you guys put in this?" Issei said with a awkward smile.

"Well, we put in eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla, coca-cola, milk, butter, hot sauce, tofu, carrots, peanut butter, cream cheese, whip cream, chicken, salt, pepper, and meatballs." Emi said cheerfully. "Everyone wanted to make you something different so we just combined everything together!"

'O-Oh my god. What kind of torture is this? I've eaten all kinds things in my life, but this...this is not right.' Trihexa said with a fake vomit in accordance with his speech.

'At least you don't have to eat it…'

"Alright sweet thanks. I'll uh...dig in now!" Issei feigned his excitement as he took a large bite of the cake. Immediately, a multitude of flavors hit him at once. Spicy, sour, sweet, sugary, bland, vanilla, and some Issei couldn't even fathom. His face immediately paled, but all of the kids were waiting anxiously for his review. He swallowed it somehow and shivered a bit when it went down. He was gonna hurl.

"It's...great...I mean it's really great!" Issei began to just attack the rest of the cake in an effort to eat it as fast as possible. He didn't stop once so the flavors wouldn't hit him. Finally, he ate the last bite of the cake and he looked like he was going to die. The kids squealed in excitement at the prospect of their big brother loving what they made for him.

"Happy birthday Big Bro!" Emi yelled as she jumped up and hugged him as the rest of the kids echoed her sentiments and hugged him.

"Heh...thanks guys…" Issei was going to miss this. He was really going to miss this. He felt like he might cry, but he held it back for now. If he cried the kids would cry and that means that Lily would come and eventually cry which would then lead to Kenji finally noticing and then he would cry. There was no winning this battle. However, Kenji himself came to his rescue and told the kids to go play outside with Lily so he could talk to Issei.

"Hey kid, happy birthday." Kenji said with a pat on the shoulder. "Listen, I know you didn't really want me to get you anything, but I wanted to since this is the last day you'll be with us. However, that doesn't mean you can't visit!"

"Right right old man. Really though you didn't have to do that for me. It'll be lonely without you guys so how could I not come visit? Besides, I'm sure you'd die without me here." Issei replied with a grin.

"Heh, maybe, but more importantly have you had any thoughts about where you want to go? I know you don't want any money from us so we did the next best thing!" Kenji said pulling something out of his pocket. It was a small box.

"What you proposing to me or something?" Issei said getting up.

"Shut it ya smartass. Just open the box." Kenji said laughing. "I'm gonna miss your wisecracks kid."

"Told ya." Issei grinned and opened up the box Kenji handed him. A key on a chain was inside it. A small dragon keychain was attached to the keyring as well as a whole separate ring.

"Gramps, what is this?"

"Go outside and see!" Kenji patted Issei's back hard and Issei stumbled forward, but then began to head outside.

"NO WAY!" Issei exclaimed as he was outside.

"Heh, Lily said she noticed a couple posters in your room about things like this so we went ahead and got this for you. Also, the other key is a house in Kuoh. It's a little bit aways from Kyoto, around two hours, but we ended up getting you a free house down there. That leads me to my next part. You got this letter in the mail." Kenji explained.

"Kenji you didn't have to do any of this. How much did all this cost?!" Issei was flabbergasted. There was a red and black motorcycle out front. Issei had gotten his license a little earlier than the other kids due to Kenji being the teacher for it. Sure it was illegal, but so was Issei's existence itself. A house too!? How far was this man willing to go?

"Well like I said. I only spent money on the bike. The house was part of your scholarship!" Kenji proudly said.

"Wait scholarship?! I know that this is a joke now. My grades were mediocre at best and I didn't play any sports or do any clubs. Hell I'm just a dude!" Issei couldn't believe it. He ripped open the note and read it. He was being accepted into Kuoh academy with a scholarship due to his social standing. What troubled him most was the signature though. Zeoticus Gremory. He didn't know the man himself, but the stamp was definitely a devil's insignia.

'Crap...did I get caught?'

"Anyways kid you'll have to leave tonight because you start tomorrow. I already had Lily pack everything up and the moving truck has already left. Listen Issei, I know this is last minute and probably doesn't make any sense, but you have got to get going." Kenji seemed a little nervous for some reason. It almost seemed as if he was trying to get Issei to get out as fast as possible. Issei took note of that. If there was one thing he was good at, it was being able to read people. Ever since the accident he had learned to get a better read on people.

"A-Alright...that eager to get rid of me eh?" Issei said as he pocketed the keys.

"Heh, how could I not be?" Kenji laughed, but it wasn't wholeheartedly. "Listen kid, we'll always be here for you, but right now it's time to move on. It's only 1 so if you leave now you should get there around 3 or 4."

Kenji brought Issei into a hug.

"I still remember when I found you that day. You were like a damn feral wolf that day. Punching and screaming at everything until you finally fell asleep." Kenji laughed as he released Issei from the hug. "We all love ya here kid. You're family never forget that. I have to go now, but listen I'll miss ya and don't forget to visit ya hear me!" Kenji ran off quickly as he gave Issei another wave.

"Yeah...see ya Kenji." Issei said with a bit of disappointment mixed with skepticism.

'Well that couldn't have been weirder. The guy is usually pretty nice, but today he just seemed off.'

"Yeah...seriously. Well, I might as well go say my goodbyes to everyone." Issei said with a sad smile. Suddenly, he heard a loud scream come from inside the orphanage.

"What was that?!" Issei sprinted inside the building fast as he heard another yell.

'Oi, I'm sensing fallen angel and demonic powers. Go rip em a new one partner!'

"Right!" Issei replied with a fiery determination. Nobody was going to take anyone away from him again. Not again. Not ever. Suddenly, a large dark beam was flung towards Issei.

"Woah!" Issei dodged quickly and he got into a fighting stance.

"Well well, look who finally showed up…" The fallen angel above him said. The fallen angel was wearing a fedora with a large black trenchcoat. He had a devilish grin on him along with two demons below him. They were all very weak and the equivalent to insects compared to Issei's power even without his form change abilities.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Issei yelled with his aura flailing. His opponents flinched for a minute, but the fallen angel quickly recovered. The demons charged him, but Issei shot two black beams at the incoming opponents and took them out quickly. He then charged up towards the fallen angel, but his kick missed.

"Heh, I'm not nearly as week as those demons. Now is that truly all you have wielder of Trihexa? Azazel had a report on you from when you were born and he kept track of where you've been going in secret all along. Blame it on the higher ups kid!" The fallen angel dive bombed towards Issei, but he jumped out of the way.

"Ooh that's hawkward…" Issei says with a grin.

"Really?" The fallen angel said with a cringe.

"Yeah...not my best." Issei got back up and flung another shot at the fallen angel.

The two clashed as Issei jumped up towards the fallen angel, but instead of attacking, the fallen angel sent a light beam Issei's way. With ease Issei dodged the attack.

"Man you need to work on your aim...that was a lousy shot!" Issei charged up and connected a punch to the fallen angels gut.

"Pwah!" The fallen angel coughed from the hit. "Heh...I wasn't aiming for you."

Suddenly, a scream echoed out from behind Issei. It was a woman's scream.

"Wait...no Lily!" Issei quickly turned around and saw Lily covering the children with her own body as the light beam bounced around the room like a rubber bullet. Soon it was going to hit the girl covering the group.

"LILY!" Issei roared. However, before he could get there someone intercepted the blast.

"D-Dad!?" Lily screamed at the sight of a hole being blown through her own father. He fell on the ground with a deafening cry.

"KENJI!" Issei yelled as he turned back to the fallen angel with red eyes now.

'Oh boy, that was your last mistake nephilim.' Trihexa grinned as he knew the power that Issei was about to unleash, however before he could there was no sign of the fallen angels or the demons. The living room was a mess with gashes and the floorboards all ripped up. There were burn marks that set the sprinklers off with their smoke. That snapped Issei back to his senses as he turned around to face the crying mess of children behind him. However, his form altering magic had activated because of his rage and his arm had turned into a claw. The children were terrified of him now as they all cowered behind Lily and the dying Kenji on the ground.

"Dad...Dad...you'll be okay I promise!" Lily said crying over her father.

"L...Lily...let me speak...to *cough cough* Issei." Kenji said coughing up blood.

"N-No, he's a monster just like those other people!" Lily said looking at Issei with the same eyes his own mother had looked at him.

"N-No he's not...he's the same old Issei. This...this was all my fault." Kenji began to cry as he beckoned Issei over with his hand. "Kid...I sold you out. The fallen angels came to me and told me they knew I had you and that if I complied they wouldn't touch Lily or any of the other kids...goes to show you can't trust fallen angels right?"

"Y-You knew?" Issei said with his own tears coming. The sprinklers shut off while the lights did so as well. Issei could hear the sirens in the distance with his enhanced hearing.

"Y-Yeah, you're real father was a friend of mine. I patched him up a few times. He told me that if you ever needed help then I would be there...but I...I...I failed him and you. I'm sorry kid. I guess this is what karma does." Kenji looked up and closed his eyes. "Lily don't blame Issei. Issei don't blame yourself. Issei, that box is from your father. He told me to give you the key on your 17th birthday. That dragon keychain has a small key inside of it. It'll open the box. Both of you...take care. I love you...L..ily."

As Kenji breathed his last the kids all were crying and holding each other while Lily began sobbing uncontrollably.

"No...Lily I-" Issei began, but was cut off.

"GET OUT!" Lily roared. "This is your fault! If you had never come here everything would've been the same! I thought you were different, but...you had me fooled. Just go. Now!"

Issei had nothing to say he simply adhered and left. The kids wouldn't look at him and Lily hated him. Kenji was dead and it was his fault. Wasn't he supposed to be the strongest thing in the world!?

Issei walked out of the house solemnly as he made his way to the bike that was left there. The box from his room was now sitting on the back and Issei thought about Kenji's words. He broke the dragon key chain and out popped a tiny key that fit the small keyhole of the box. When Issei opened it a note was left on top.

'Love Dad and Mom'

Inside were two double pistols. One a dark black and the other a bright silver. He holstered the two weapons in his jacket and hopped on the bike.

"Well, let's hope I don't get pulled over…" Issei sadly joked. "Everyone, Kenji, and Lily...goodbye."

He revved up his motorcycle and began to ride past the fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances driving towards the orphanage.

For the second time Issei's life had been completely turned upside down.

'Now you really are a edgy character Issei.'

"Heh, shut it Hex." Issei couldn't even fake a laugh at his partner and his tone sounded more cold then he meant, but he knew his partner knew him better than anyone and that for right now they'd work on getting stronger to protect themselves and others.

XXXXXXXXX

"Well...I guess this is it." Issei said as he looked at the house in front of him. "Is this really the house that is being provided for just me?"

'The place is huge for just one person, maybe you'll have roommates?'

"God I hope not. We saw how that one turned out."

Trihexa learned over the years that Issei coped through trauma and grief through sarcasm and humor. He rarely ever let his guard down and the only people who really knew Issei besides Trihexa was Kenji and Lily.

"Well, I'll park the motorcycle in the garage and then we can check out the place." Issei said as he walked his motorcycle into the garage. Next he opened the door to his new home.

It was a pretty big place for a single student to live in. A two story building with two bathrooms, a living room, kitchen, 5 rooms (2 downstairs, 2 upstairs, and the master was upstairs as well), and a office room. However, what was more shocking to Issei was that the place was furnished, and by furnished it had pictures on the wall and everything.

"Kuoh is definitely different alright…" Issei said walking through. There was couches, chairs, and even game consoles all over the living room. However, the one thing Issei was hoping for did not come true. The house was fully stocked, but sadly the fridge was not.

"Aw dammit I'm gonna have to go grocery shopping…" Issei whined. He had done it hundreds of times for the orphanage, but he always got to bring one of the little ones or Lily with him. After finally checking out the first floor he went up to the second. It was pretty much just a long hallway with 5 doors. One for the bathroom and office on the left side of the hallway and the right side of the hallway held two doors for the two extra rooms. At the end of the hallway was what Issei was really looking forward to. The master bedroom. As soon as Issei opened up the door he was shocked. It was a lot larger than he expected. With the bed in the middle there was a TV stand along with bookshelves along the right wall. There was a couch and it even had its own bathroom. That made 3 separate bathrooms for the house now. There were even more game consoles on the TV stand along with a TV box and even some blu rays of anime were stocked up on it.

"Wow, they really went all out…" Issei said to himself. "Now maybe if they had just given me some damn food…"

That was when Issei noticed the small black wallet on the bed.

"Hm what's this?" Issei said as he picked it up.

'You know that could've been a trap right?'

"Yeah yeah just let me live my life Hex."

'Y'know I've been meaning to tell you this. You activated a large amount of power back at the orphanage. You know what that means right?'

"No what?"

'The Three Factions are going to start looking for you. That means they're going to do 1 of 2 things. 1. Try and kill you or 2. The more likely one, try and recruit you to there side. The angels might be more akin to the first one, but part devil means the devils are going to try and get you on their side. Same with Azazel. That prick is such a hassle to deal with sometimes.'

"I take it you've fought before?"

'Hell he was one of the people who sealed me!'

"Wait, I get what you mean now. That insignia...you think the devils are trying to persuade me with all of this right?"

'Bingo.'

"I'll be careful. So Hex do y-" Issei began to speak, but stopped mid sentence.

'What?'

"That...is a lot of porn." Issei said pointing at the bookshelf. Books and DVDs littered a single bookshelf that was currently full of just porn and the like.

"Why the hell would they try and persuade me with porn and not food?!" Issei yelled. He then shifted his attention back onto the wallet and opened it.

"Woah...that's a black card. There has to be a lot of yen on this to get a black card…wait there's a note!"

It read:

'Issei, if you're reading this it means you're finally becoming a man! I'm sure you've opened the box and found the dual pistols. You aren't gonna believe what your father named them, but he named them Check and Mate. I think I know where you get your puns from now. Anyways, I'm sure I told you about the fallen angel debacle at this point right? I'm sorry I sold you out. I just needed to make sure everyone else was safe and when I saw you training all these years I was sure you could defend yourself. If anything happened to me or Lily or the kids...it's not your fault it's mine. I may not be your father, but I loved you like a son. That's why I have to be honest. I am a Youkai. Back in my hay day I used to be ferocious, but now the god's of Kyoto have granted me a time of peace with my family. I'm pretty weak now, but since you were there I had no doubt we were in danger. Anyways, I was friends with your father for many years. He was a great man and your mother a great woman. I swore I would protect you to him before they both sadly passed away when you were born. I know this is a lot to take in, but I know you're a strong boy. On a happier note, I have been saving up all this money for years at this point. There is around 5 billion yen on this card, but only use it for the essentials and for women of course ;). Anyways I took the liberty of furnishing this place and giving you the "good stuff" on the bookshelf and game wise. Remember Issei: Never forget who you are or where you came from. For that will drive you forward no matter how tough it gets. Love ya kid!

-Kenji aka Gramps.

PS: Quit it with the bad puns for the love of god!

A single tear fell onto the note left behind.

"Gramps...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Issei clenched the note, but folded it backup and placed it into the wallet.

"This supernatural stuff is so dumb…" Issei fell onto the master bed. Issei snapped his fingers and a shadow puppet came from the darkness. Issei merely waved his hand and the puppet locked the doors and turned off all the lights in the house.

"Thanks…" Issei began to doze off. It was only 6 pm when he reached Kuoh, but he had the longest day of his life. He hadn't even noticed the demonic presences that were beginning to surround him.

'This is gonna be one hell of an ride partner. Let's destroy some shit!'

Issei just yawned.

"You got that right pal." Issei finally felt the sleep overcome him and he fell victim to the exhaustion.

XXXXXXXXX

"Ugh...why is this necessary? Couldn't I just start a job and not worry about this school?" Issei complained as he shrugged his shoulders. He was currently wearing the white his red and black hoodie over his white blazer with a red undershirt and his black pants with his regular shoes.

'Education is important. Besides I know you've sensed it too. There's two devil peerages here. One with 8 pieces and one with 5. I'm not too sure on who is in power now and I've been away for so long that I can't even tell who it is. Let's just get some information for now.'

"Sounds like a plan…" Issei sighed once again as Kuoh came into view.

"Wow that's a lot bigger than I expected. I know I'm starting out as a second year and all, but isn't this a little bit too grandeur for me?" Issei whispered to his companion.

'I wish I hadn't picked a host that spouts horrible puns and complains all the time…'

"You love me don't lie." Issei said with a smile as she shushed himself. He was now around a bunch of people and having the new students already think he is crazy would not be beneficial to him. He had to go to the school's office first and foremost, but on his way he was met with a rather peculiar sight. Two girls were the eye candy of the school. Even the girls stopped whatever they were doing to look at the pair of beauties. Both had gorgeous faces, a huge bust in all areas, and they all smelled amazing. The on the right had long red hair with blue eyes while the left had black hair put up in a ponytail with a bit of a more sadistic aura to her. It gave Issei the chills. Both girls walked past him and Issei made eye contact with the red haired girl. He felt a twang in his head go off.

'Devil.'

'Devil.'

Both Trihexa and Issei thought at the same time.

"You must be new here correct?" The red haired girl spoke to him. However, Issei was still in his head and the memory of the devils tearing up the orphanage flashed in his mind.

'Cmon Issei! Not all devils are like that!'

"Y-YEAH!" Instead of being normal Issei accidentally screamed at the girl.

'Wow, that was smooth.'

"Uh, sorry, I'm just nervous?" Issei said with a small blush as he scratched his head.

The red haired girl just chuckled.

"No worries it is quite understandable. My name is Rias Gremory and I'm a third year here. Let me know if you need any help around campus or getting to a class." With a wave Rias walked away.

'Gremory...Gremory...Gremory...where have I heard that before?'

"Oh well...thanks!" Issei just sighed and expressed his thanks. His first class was going to be the hardest one because it was homeroom. He was going to be introduced immediately and it was definitely going to cause some problems. Sure he wasn't the best looking dude, but he was muscular and toned which added to his charm. He also had an alright personality on his side so he was a-okay with the ladies. He went to the office and got his schedule. His homeroom was on the second floor in class 2-A. He finally found his destination after walking for several minutes and stood outside the door for his teacher to tell him to come in.

"And now class we have a new transfer student this semester...come in!" A woman's voice called from behind the door.

'Right, just be cool Issei!'

Remember that super strength? Yeah well when Issei gets nervous he loses control of his power a bit.

*SMASH*

As soon as Issei opened the door he realized it was far too late to stop it. The door slammed into the wall and it became unhinged and fell to the floor. Everyone just stared at him.

"What can't handle me?" Immediately Issei cursed himself as the entire class and even the teacher just stared at him. He propped the door up against the wall and bowed to the teacher and the class and went immediately to his seat.

'You somehow manage to impress me more and more…'

'Just kill me now…'

XXXXXXXXX

The rest of his classes before lunch were a living hell. Now he was the guy who broke a door off and made a horrible pun on the first day of school all while being a transfer student. No girls flocked towards him. No guys thought he was cool. Nobody asked him any questions.

"Screw it all to hell…" Issei held his head down as he sat against the railing on the roof for lunch. Nobody came up here and he needed some space away from everyone. Besides this place was prohibited in the first place.

"I need a break for once in my life...I swear it's you Hex. You bring all this shit to me." Issei said as he fake cried.

'You're honestly probably not wrong. I am a being of pure evil and destruction.'

Issei just sighed and that twang in his head came back.

'Devils!?'

'You're being watched. Two people are in the shadows over there. It's a youkai demon halfbreed and regular demon.'

'Got it.'

"Listen you can come out now. I know you're there. I'm having a bad day already so please don't try and kill me…" Issei said getting up with his hands up.

Two figures approached from the shadows.

"I'm impressed you were able to sense us. I thought we concealed our aura expertly." The now blonde boy stated.

"I literally control the darkness there's no way you could get around in the literal darkness." Issei said matter of factly.

"Don't care. Let's just get this over with." The small girl with silver hair added in.

"Anyway, I am Kiba Yuuto and this is Koneko. On behalf of the Occult Research Club we would like to invite you to a meeting to meet our president." Kiba said holding out an invitation.

Issei grabbed the paper and looked at it. It was a document stating everything about the ORC including the president's signature and insignia.

'Wait, look at that insignia…'

'That's the one.'

"WAIT GREMORY?! That's the Gremory?!" Issei yelled out. "How in the hell was I supposed to know that…"

"It is not mandatory that you come, but this will be the only time we will do this peacefully. Thanks for your time." Kiba said before giving a bow.

"Listen pretty boy, I don't like this and I don't like this situation. Now you can take you-" Issei was cut off very fast.

"On behalf of my partner we accept your invitation." A monstrous voice echoed throughout the area.

"What?! Since when could you do that?" Issei yelled back.

Kiba and Koneko were definitely taken aback, but they soon regained composure.

"Great then it's settled. We'll see you after school." Kiba gave a lady killing smile and the two left the roof.

"Hey what the hell was that?!" Issei said.

'We need information. To be honest I didn't even know I could talk out loud either. Guess we never tried?'

"Jesus Christ…" Issei flinched from the pain inflicted by saying that name, but it wasn't enough to hurt him.

Little did Issei know that soon the fate of the world would rest in his hands...and the title of harem king as well.
