Delinquent Dragon

Aftermath of Anarchy

Sinking into the world of the Boosted Gear, Keiji looked to find himself staring at the floating orbs of raw power; energy so visible they shook the very air they sat on. One of a scorching red while another bleaker than the primordial darkness.

Two familiar figures greeted Keiji, as Elsha and Belzard were summoned at feeling the current hosts' appearance. "Do you two have any idea what this is?"

The men shook their heads at the sight, mumbles of marvelling at the fact he managed to receive fragments of both dragon gods' powers. A sense of relief filled them, purposeful smiles at seeing their faith in Keiji from back at Sairaorg's battle wasn't misplaced.

"Such power was never meant to be contained by the Boosted Gear. If you try to use them at the same time, the most likely result would be dying, and your body exploding from the overload," Elsha explained, making Keiji's face crease at imagining it.

Keiji's face soon shifted into a heavy sigh. "Then is there any point in time I'll be able to use this power? If not, it's an inconvenience."

Elsha flashed her smile. "However, given you are the most unique Red Dragon Emperor for many reasons, it's fine. Not only do you have that fragment of the Sephiroth Graal within you," she stated, on cue, the golden orb manifesting in flight above them, "but it's slowly but surely refining you body so it can absorb the powers naturally."

'He's making his way to being the greatest Red Dragon Emperor,' Belzard thought, noting the circumstances.

"Normally, this would take hundreds of years, but because you've been in"—Elsha released a sultrily smile and winked—"regular contact with the rest of the Sephiroth Graal, and the actual nature of the Boosted Gear has created a power loop. Essentially, the Boosted Gear boosts the grail fragment, with the grail fragment working faster on removing weaknesses and enhancing the body, which in turn allows the Boosted Gear more power to boost it, which lets it work even faster."

"Yeah, I get it," Keiji replied.

"The time has been dramatically shortened, but this is unknown territory that none of us have ever touched."

"Probably because this is the first time this has ever happened to a Red Dragon Emperor," Belzard said, him and Elsha laughing.

"Indeed, Elsha!" Ddraig's booming voice reaching the whole audience of his partners. "At the rate he's going, it might take anywhere from a few days to a year for his body to become capable of using at least one of the powers temporarily, and a year to a few for him to be able to wield both fully. Be proud, partner!"

With a heave of his shoulders, Keiji nodded. "Well, it's not really my problem right now and I guess I don't mind playing the waiting game; I'm not one of those crazy weirdos looking for absolute power."

The whole lot of the smiled at the attitude. It was exactly this subversion to so many of those who had claimed the mantle of the Red Dragon Emperor that had allowed Keiji to grow into where he was right now. They all knew it.

Snapping back to reality, Keiji found a naked Rias straddling him with a smile glazed on her face, a sight Keiji had seen so many times. "Did you sleep well?"

Keiji snorted. "As if you didn't know," Keiji replied, his eyes trailing to the other girls of the Gremory Peerage naked on the bed, chests heaving and legs aching at having been giving it good last night.

Rias chuckled as she embraced him like a scarf, chest spilling eagerly against his body; most importantly, grinding against his morning wood. "Perhaps you would like some morning service before breakfast?" Rias breathed with shallow gasps, lidded eyes.
