Yuma: Yes! I've been lusting after this power for years! Those miserable hearts in the palm of my hands. Perfect.

She placed Asia Sacred Gear on her chest a green light emitting from her. She laughs.

Yuma: I'll be beloved. I'll be the most powerful fallen angel there is! All those pricks who screwed me over are going to regret it!

You gritted your teeth. Anger swelling within you.

Y/n: People like you only care about one thing. Power. You don't care who you hurt just as long as you get it.

Lightning started emitting from your whole body.

Y/n: I'll show you what real power is!

Your lighting got even bigger as you charged the stray priests, they started shooting even more but their bullets were turn to ash by lightning. Getting closer to two of the stray priests you leaped over their heads, while upside down you grabbed their heads and slammed it into each other. Landing you ran over to the nearest stray priest. You elbowed him in the face, he crashes into the others from behind. Kiba and Koneko leaped in to join you. With their help they cleared a path for you.

Kiba: Go. We'll hold them off!

Nodding you ran up the stone staircase. Yuma threw her spear at you. You caught it holding it with your right hand. Quickly closing the gap between you, you rammed her with your shoulder sending her flying into a wall, while doing that you did a spin and cut the chains holding Asia. You quickly catch her in your arms.

Y/n: ASIA! Hey are you okay?!

Asia slowly started to open her eyes.

Asia: Y/n? You came too.

Y/n: Of course I would we're friends aren't we?

Asia closed her eyes and smiled.

Asia: Of course we are.

Issei: ASIA!

Issei ran up the stairs and kneeled right next you. You looked over and saw Yuma slowly getting up.

Y/n: Here take her.

You hand Asia to Issei who carries her.

Y/n: I'll handle her. Get Asia to safety.

Issei nods and jumps down the stairs holding onto Asia. A priest tries to attack him but Kiba intercepts him blocking his attack as Koneko kicks away another on Issei left.

Issei: Kiba. Koneko?!

He stops and turns around to look at them.

Kiba: We got this! Get out of here, now! Hurry!

He blocks another attack as he fends off the priests.

Kiba: Koneko and I will keep them! Run!

Issei gasps.

Kiba: We'll be fine...

He blocks another attack and attacks them as well.

Kiba: I promise!

Koneko dodges a bullet but still hits her uniform.

Koneko: Come on... Leave already!

She kicks one of the priests in the face.

Issei: I can't.

Kiba: You standing there isn't helping anyone. Go!

Issei hesitates.

Y/n: Hurry up and Go!

You shout over to him, he gasps as he stares at you.

Y/n: Don't you believe in us?! We're friends aren't we?!

He looks at you finally making up his mind, he turns around with tears in his eyes.

Issei: Thank you.... my friends.... I swear when this is all over you'll never have to bail me out again. I promise you!

He runs up the stairs.

Issei: I'm gonna get stronger... and fight for myself next time!

You Kiba and Koneko all smile at him. You returned your attention back to Yuma who stands up and heals herself with Asia power. Angry swells up within you. Clenching your hands you feel lightning surrounding them.

Y/n: I should have killed you when I had the chance. It's my fault Asia dying. This time I won't make the same mistake.

You walked towards her, she smiled.

Y/n: What the hell are you smiling for?

You begun walking closer.

???: For the one who first bestowed the precious gift of fire upon you pitiful apes...

Looking around, you try to find the source of the voice.

Just then something lands behind you, quickly turning around, you spot another demon.

???: Was none other than I.

He stands up towering over you.

Zedonius: Zedonius, ruler of flame.

Y/n: That wasn't in my history book.

Zedonius: You are ignorant in the ways of the world as an infant in it's cradle, Slayer.

He slowly begins walking towards you.

Zedonius: Without my fire, the petty dreams of your species would never have taken flight. Yet your ancestors tried to extinguish that flame, do you not think that foolish?

You started laughing at him.

He stops walking and looks at you confused.

Y/n: So what your telling me is that you.

You pointed at him.

Y/n: Bestowed the precious gift of fire upon us apes, is you?

You laughed even louder.

Y/n: Pal, you don't get it.

You begun walking towards him.

Y/n: Someone already created flame, and bestowed it upon us 'Humans.'

You started walking around him in a circle.

Y/n: News flash, it wasn't you.

He growled at you, as he watches you circle around him.

Y/n: Honestly, I'm really not sure who created fire and gave it to us. Definitely wasn't you, but I don't really care.

You stopped in front of him looking at him.

Zedonius: Then let the fire of hell.

You jumped backwards, gaining some distance between you two.

Zedonius: Consume your entire existence.

He roars, as fire surrounds him.

You raise your right fist close to your face, while your left fist was near your stomach. Lightning begins to surround your body.

Y/n: Let's see what you got.

With that both of you charge each other, raising your fist, you throw first forward. Before you could hit him, Zedonius kneed you right in your stomach.

You cough blood

With a swift motion he grabbed the back of your head and started to fly down. Getting close to the ground he smashed your face and started to drag your face across the ground.

When done he threw you towards a wall, you hit the wall cracking it. You slowly started to fall to the ground.

You fell to the ground face first.

Y/n:(Thoughts) Damnit, the fight barely started and he already got a few hits in.

You slowly started getting up.

Before you could get up Zedonius immediately tackled you back into the wall he threw you into.

The ground shock.

This catches Kiba and Koneko's attention, as they look back and saw Zedonius holding you by your face.

Kiba: No way.

Koneko: Y/n.

Zedonius started to laugh.

Zedonius: Is that all you got ape.

Without saying anything, he slammed your head into the wall.

Zedonius: Your nothing.

He smashes your head into the wall.

Zedonius: Pathetic.

Once more he slams your head into the wall.

Zedonius: Any last words.

Y/n: Lightning Dragon: Roar!

Unleashing a breath attack it pushed back Zedonius, who hits the wall the other side of the wall.

You hit the ground.

Y/n:(Thoughts) He's different from the others.

Yuma started to laugh.

Yuma: What's wrong Dragon Slayer, is he too much for you to handle.

You growled.

Zedonius looked up at her.

Zedonius: Remember Raynare, if you give me false information about Mio Naruse, you're next.

This scared her.

Y/n: So, your real name is Raynare?

You slowly started to stand up.

Y/n: Tell me.

They both look at you.

Y/n: Whose this Mio Naruse person, why is she so important.

Zedonius: She is the daughter of the former demon king, Wilbert.

Y/n: Wilbert? Mio's his daughter?

Zedonius: Yes.

He slowly started to float in the air.

Zedonius: Everyone wants the power she possesses.

Raynare: I'll leave you too it Zedonius, I gotta go see my ex.

Her wings appeared on her back as she takes flight.

Y/n: No you don't!

Zedonius charged you flying at high speed, but not fast enough.

Within arms reach you quickly caught him, wrapping your arms around his neck.

Y/n: Get.

You jumped up in the air.

Y/n: The hell out of my way!

You put all your weight down onto him, as head hits the floor cracking it.

You threw him off you and immediately chased after Raynare.

She flies past Koneko and Kiba.

Y/n: RAYNARE!!!

Jumping in the air, you attempted to knock her out of the air.

Before you could get close, a fireball hits you from behind.

Y/n: Ack!

You fly right over Raynare and towards a wall.

Y/n:(Thoughts) Damnit!

You spun around quickly and put your feet on the wall you were flying towards. Kicking off it you rocketed towards Raynare.

But you were tackled mid-air.

Zedonius started to fly away with you.

Y/n: Get lost.

Lightning surround your right arm and knee. You elbowed him right in the middle of his back and kneed him in the stomach.

His grip loosens. Quickly putting two of your feet on his chest you kicked him away from you.

You hit the ground with a large thud.

Zedonius recovers fast and grabbed your arms with the hands on his wings and your legs with his his hands.

Zedonius: I'll tear off your limbs right off your body!

You tried to break free but had no luck. Fire started swarm around the both of you. You could feel him pulling on your arms and legs. You let out a scream. Slowly closing your eyes you ready to accept your fate.

Leonidas: Don't give up!

You gasp as you heard Leonidas voice.

Y/n:(Thoughts) Leo?

Leonidas: Stop doubting yourself! A son of mine doesn't quit! Open your eyes and FIGHT!!!

You opened your eyes. Gritting your teeth and clenching your fist you slowly started to move your arms and legs.

Zedonius: What?!

Y/n: I'm not going to die that EASILY!!!!

With a roar you broke free from his hold.

Y/n: Lightning Dragon: Roooooooar!!!

Zedonius was swallowed whole by your lighting.

He flies towards the wall on the opposite side of then room with a loud thud.

You fall towards the ground but caught before you could hit the ground. You wipe the corner of your mouth to see a smear of blood on your hand.

Zedonius: DRAGON SLAYER!!!

Zedonius comes flying towards you, he stops right in front of the both of you.

Y/n: Why are you here?

He narrows his eyes.

Zedonius: Mio Naruse.

With that you slowly started to walk towards Zedonius.

Y/n: I'm not gonna let you live.

Lightning started to cover your body.

Y/n: I don't know what's so important about this Mio Naruse but.

Your lighting grew larger.

Y/n: I'm not gonna sit back and watch as someone's being hunted down. NOT IF I CAN HELP IT!

( With Issei)

Issei made it to the top put Asia down on one of the benches.

Issei: Hang in there... come on... once we get out of here you're free. Stay with me! You have to fight!

She holds out her hand and Issei takes it into his.

Issei: That's it... be strong!

Asia: I know it wasn't a very long time, but... I'm so blessed to have made a friend like you.

Issei: Stop! It isn't over, okay? We're going to be friends for a lot longer than this. You hear me?! When you feel better, we'll go do some karaoke or... I'll teach you how to bowl... so you can't give up, damn it! You'd be letting my buddies down, too ya know... you still have to meet them. I know they'll love you. They may come off as a couple of pervs, but I swear they're actually great guys once you warm up to them--and you will...

His tears falls onto their joined hands.

Issei: Man, are we gonna have a story to tell them after this! We'll all need a crazy night soon, huh...?

Tears flooded Issei face.

Issei: Where should we go, you think?

Asia: I wish it could be different... it would've been great to have grown up in this country, gone to your school.

Issei: You still can... and school will be a lot more fun... with you there.

Asia cups the side of Issei face.

Asia: I never wanted to make you cry. Oh Issei... I'm... sorry. Goodbye.

With Asia hand goes limp and falls down to her side. She dies with a smile on her face.

Issei: No. Why? Why does she have to be the one to die? She's a healer. She could've helped people!

He grabs her and hugs her tight. Their cheeks touch.

Issei: If her gift is to heal those in need, doesn't that mean you have a purpose for her? It makes no sense! Damn you! Asia didn't di anything to deserve this! Please give her back! Please! All she wanted was to make friends! She had one in me! And would have made so many more! Is that it? Is this my fault? Are you punishing her because she made friends with a devil? I'm sorry, okay?! Just give her back!

Raynare: A devil asking for forgiveness in church?

Issei gasps as he notices Raynare sitting on a bench right beside him.

Raynare: What an insidious sense of humor.

Issei: What are you doing here?!

Raynare ignores the question and looks at a cut on her arm.

Raynare: Ugh, how tacky is this? Some rabid knight did it to me on the way up here.

Issei: Where are Y/n, Kiba and Koneko?!

She heals the cut on her arm with Twilight Healing.

Raynare: Wonderful, huh? No matter the injury, I heal instantly... a perfect gift for those of us who no longer have the benefit of divine protection, wouldn't you say?

She puts her hands together and closes her eyes.

Raynare: And now I'll never risk losing my rank in the underworld. Oh! Great Azazel and Shemhazi, I am prepared and ready to do your works!

Issei: What does that matter?

She opens her eyes and stares at Issei.

Issei: What does that have to do with Asia?! She wasn't a threat. She didn't care about power!

Raynere stands up.

Raynare: Unfortunately for those with the Sacred Gear, this is their destiny.

Issei: That is such bullshit! She never would have used it! She just wanted to live in peace!

Raynare: Out of the question.

Issei: Why?

Raynare: Humans don't have the ability to survive in their world with the Sacred Gear...even if they choose to use the power for 'good,' they are seen as different and would be tortured out of fear.

(Flashback)

Asia: They said anyone who had my kind of power was a heretic, so I had no choice but to run away.

Asia: Honestly... I'd be happy to have any friends.

(Flashback End)

Raynare: Have you ever heard anything more absurd? That's just how humans operate. Such an unfortunate waste of power.

Issei: That wouldn't have happened! I was her friend and I could have protected her from all that! I wouldn't have let anyone hurt her--ever!

Raynare: She's dead! Stone cold dead and you're whining about protecting her-- you realize how psychotic you sound?! You wouldn't have been able to save her back then anyway! And you can't save her now!

Issei: Will you shut up? I'll never forgive you for this...

He clenches his hand.

Issei: I'll never forgive myself. Why couldn't it have been you? I want her back! I want Asia back!

His Sacred Gear appears on his hand.

Boosted Gear: Dragon Boost!

Raynare gasps. Issei screams and charges Raynere. She jumps away as Issei falls down to the ground.

Raynare: You don't pay attention, do you? There's nothing you can do to win--

Issei boosts himself again.

Raynare: Even if you tripled the power you have.

He charges at her again. She jumps right over him.

Raynare: And you're still trying to test me.

She summons two spears of light and throws them at Issei. They both hit his leg as he screams out. He grabs the spear.

Raynare: Light is toxic to devils. Just touching it scorches your bodies. It's said... to be the most intense and worst pain a devil can endure. So what do you think? Is it true?

Issei: What do I care if it is? This is nothing...

He pulls the spears out of his legs.

Issei: Nothing compared to what Asia went through!

Blood gushes out of his wounds.

Issei: I'll put up with anything for her!

Raynare: You know I really am impressed... a lower class-devil making it this far? That power is something to be reckoned with.

Issei falls to the ground.

Issei: What's happening?

Raynare: Not that it's gonna do you any good though. I just wanted to make sure you got your kudos for doing so much better than expected from a devil of your class.

Issei starts to pant as sweat falls from his head.

Issei: That's it. God isn't going to help me. I'm a devil know-- what was I thinking? I need to call Satan. I'm a devil now, too so what do you say? Just this once, I need a little help.

Raynare: What are you mumbling about over there? Is all the pain driving you mad?

Issei slowly started to get up.

Issei: I'm begging you. I won't ask you for anything else after this.

Raynare:(Thoughts) What's he doing?

Issei: Turn this around on her...

His wings come out.

Issei: Let me destroy her ass!

Raynare: How are you able to stand? This is impossible. That light should be burning you from the inside, out! Tell me how you're doing that. You don't have the power to temper light! You are nothing!

Issei: Don't get me wrong.

He starts walking towards her. Raynare backs up with each step he takes.

Issei: It doesn't tickle. Even with this strength I feel like I'm about to pass out. But I don't care. I'll fight through it if it means I can take you down!

He yells as his Sacred Gear changes Its appearance.

A green light appeared from his Sacred Gear.

Raynare: That energy wave is at least second level. His Sacred Gear should be nowhere near this strong! It's... it's just a double critical!

He begins walking towards her. She back up and summoned another spear and thrown it at Issei, he quickly deflected it with his gauntlet. Raynare turns around and tries to run away. Issei jumped forward and grabbed her hand.

Issei: You won't get away... bitch!

Raynare: No! I have the supreme power!

Issei: This one's for Asia!

He punches Raynare as she screams and flies towards one of the windows and breaking it as she smashes into it.

Issei not having the strength to stand anymore, was about to fall down to the ground was caught by Kiba.

Kiba: Look at you handling that one on your own!

Issei: Yeah, thanks... what held you up?

Kiba: I was instructed to stay back... Rias's orders, sorry.

Issei: Seriously?

Rias: Seriously.

Rias was leaning against a wall behind Issei.

Rias: I believe in you. I knew you would defeat her.

Issei: You did?
