Red Dragon Emperor of Domination

Chapter 11: Eve of Damnation

The gate opened and in came two groups of people, Issei standing menacingly atop the roof of his home. He was clad in a kimono adorned with various runes, giving him an almost regal appearance as the moon illuminated him.

"Hello, Gremory. I see you've brought Sona and her Peerage along?" Issei asked, to which the redhead nodded. "Fine by me. Just remember, Rias, Sona.. my Sister and I are your Drill Sergeants once you set foot past that gate. What we say goes, and complaints will be answered with violence. Now, come.. Purgatory awaits." He said as moonlight reflected from his eyes, causing them to glow an ominous green and a vicious red.

'Hyoudou Issei.. is this what he truly is? His demeanor is nothing like it was when I visited.. or is this just him playing his part in his plan? And what is that plan, for that matter...' Sona questioned yet she walked forward alongside Rias, regardless, their Peerages following.

Issei jumped down from the building and landed in front of them with hardly a sound. Opening the door, he stepped inside and motioned for them to follow him.

"I'm sparing no expense in preparing this for you all, I'm pulling all the strings I can to ensure you get the most out of this training." He explained as he opened up the door and led them inside. "You will receive niether pity, mercy, nor compassion during your stay- and I'll have you know, there is no room for the weak-willed in this course." 

Issei turned around to face them all, his eyes gleaming. "I make no promises that even a single one of you will survive. We have a week. That means you'll have one day to recuperate at the end while you spend the next six days regretting your lack of power for eternities. Over those six days- I'm going to rip you apart and piece you back together one atom at a time, again and again, until I deem you perfect." Issei finished, and everyone was rather unnerved. In fact, almost everyone was sweating.

"And one more thing..." Issei said as a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face. "... Hell begins now!" And with a snap of his fingers, the hallway they were in vanished as they feel into another world entirely.

"I know you wanted to test them, Onii-chan, but pinning them against a Hydra subspecies?! What gear broke inside your head, do I need to get Onii-chan a therapist?" His sister said as she appeared out of seemingly nowhere.

"It's not a Nine-head, the Hydra I had delivered is a Fire-type with only three heads... they have a few chops before it gets nine- and it's not venomous. They should be able to handle it." Issei said flatly, causing his sister to pout and poke him in the eye.

"Onii-chan is so boring~!" She taunted.

"Whatever. So, what's the news? Can Raijin, Bishamonten, and Kuraokami make it?"

"Hai~! Your loving imouto persuaded them all; meow!" She chirped happily, bouncing on the tips of her toes despite there being no ground beneath them.

"What about Shishou? Shiva? Azrael?" Issei questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Your busty violette sensei said she was too busy. And Shivadeva is babysitting Indradeva. And Azrael-san hasn't responded, woof!" The girl said as her three fox tails swished back and forth.

Issei sighed and layed down on the air. "Rias is gonna be yours then, same for Asia and Tsubaki. Raijin will be handling Akeno, Bishamonten will be with Kiba, Kura will be with Sona. Koneko will be split between you and Tiamat, and Saji will be split between me and Tiamat." Issei said with a sigh.

"Ara? Why don't Onii-chan and Tia get their own students?!"

"I'll be working with all of them as needed.. let's try to get a Bael and see if Hades can't lend us Asclepius's soul for a bit. Asia would benefit from learning from a God of Medicine, even if only for a day. And Rias.. is a disappointment, just like her fiancè." Issei mused absentmindedly before rolling over and looking down. "Huh... seems like they're only now figuring out how the Hydra works. Probably Kiba and Sona's doing."
