Hybrid on the run

In The Shadows

Dean drops Issei off somewhere in Kuoh near a phone booth as Issei now in civil clothes but a face cover, some shades steps out Dean gives him words of encouragement: "I don't know what your deal is with Crowley or whatever that thing on your arm is, far as hunting goes you've gotta hell of a long way to go but you've got talent... best of luck to you Red" Dean leaves for Hotel leaving Issei on the streets.

He calls Crowley to report in, Ise: "meet up with Dean Winchester successful though I don't see why you paired me with him." C: "I needed to make sure you were ready. Body and soul are 2 different things, While your soul was getting trained your body was rotting at the bottom of the bloody ocean, it's gonna take some time for it to adjust, My advice: find somewhere quiet until the metamorphosis is complete." Ise: "Metamorphosis?" C: " twit, you were a devil when you died right? Your bodies going to revert back to its original form and improve. Moose translation; your bodies going to force itself to keep up with the improvement, which probably means very painful and lots of screaming." Ise: "why are you helping me again?" C: "don't forget our deal, I don't want to see my investment waste his shot. Find somewhere quite and stay there, report in when your bodies adjusted." Ise: "how long?" C: "let me check (checking pretend notes) yeah it's right here says HOW THE BLOODY HELL SHOULD I KNOW?" Ise: "No need to be a Dick."

C: "putting aside all that what are your thoughts on Squirrel?" Dromus: "rough around the edges but knows what he's doing, terrifying to be on his bad side I can see why the Winchester name is feared" C: "that's the right answer, you've got your orders wolf, follow them." Ise: "yes sir." Drom makes a snarky comment Issei tells him to shut up.

Ise thinks to himself: Crowley said somewhere quiet, where I 1st woke up maybe?... no, being brought back again is bound raise questions, if there's a chance the transfer could be detected it's bound to draw attention if I know any better those ORC scumbags will investigate sooner or later, and my body still being a devil i sure as hell can't stay here. For now I'm a sitting duck. I'm in my home town.

He takes a deep breath, he pictures an abandoned, shut down, rusted old silo in his head, Ise: "that could work, in the very least it's worth scouting." He goes to an alley way to suit up into his black attire, Ise: "Dromus I've been meaning to ask; what can you do?" Dromus: "I'm a being of necessity, to put it simply I'm not much different than what you used to be; an item. I do what is asked, in reality terms I'm a nobody if I'm destroyed it'll go unnoticed, my former owner made that clear, we're I'm the same boat, things that were taken for granted." Ise: "if you're a being of necessity, for now can you suppress my devil juice or whatever it's called, if the ORC's out or around they'll pick it up in a heartbeat" Dromus suppresses Issei's presence as asked, issei thanks him.

Halfway en route to the abandoned mine, in the distance issei hears Ddraig being actived against everything telling him not to he follows the noise and sticks to the shadows when he gets close enough to the source he sets himself on a building 5 Kms or blocks away, as he watches on he sees Matsuda and the ORC fighting a stray in an abandoned building. The sight of the ORC alone is enough to bring back his anger and disdain, but to see Ddraig on the arm of his bald friend brings his rage to blood boiling levels he grits his teeth, he starts fuming, his body shaking Dromus calms him down he mutters to himself: "those sons O.Bs They'll pay" Dromus: "not now partner... not yet they'll get theirs, for now the most we can do is watch, study and wait." Issei calms down, he asks Dromus how his levels are looking Dromus: "just below detectable levels revenge is a game of the mind you'll get it if you play your cards right" Ise: "(*whispering*)DAMM IT... *Deep Breath* alright"

Issei continues to the abandoned mine/silo to find it just that; empty, he does a once over to double and triple check. Ise: "long abandoned, quiet, out of town, out of sight, living quarters, tunnels and sewers as backup... this'll work" he sends Dean a voice mail: "hey Dean, it's I.R.H, I'm at an abandoned mine 150 klicks east of Kuoh, I've got a favour: I need something for demon warding get back to me when you can bye.

After 7 months of complete agony and learning how to hunt, Issei's body has finally adapted to suit his soul. The mine has been somewhat restored on the inside. His revenge finally starts even though a snails pace it's a start nonetheless, he goes to the mines living quarters, to create his new persona if you will (My O.C.); he dyes his hair black, cuts his hair to sort of like deans, uses Dromus to turn his eyes a mixture of Green and blue, uses a Karambit to give himself a cross shaped scar on his face, a new name voice and accent: Mike Anderson from America.
