The Golden Dragon Empress (HighSchool DxD)

An Alliance Between Enemies

The Next Day

Natsuki did not know what to expect when she went to Issei's house the next day when he said he had a plan to help Kiba.

"You want us to ask Xenovia and Irina if they'll let us destroy the Holy Swords?" Natsuki asked.

This however, was not it.

"Yeah! I mean, destroying the swords would benefit everyone! Kiba can get his revenge and Xenovia and Irina can compete their mission." Issei stated.

Natsuki did not like the idea of working with those girls, but was willing to put that aside because of the greater threat. Although, there was a problem with Issei's plan, "What about Rias-Buchou?"

Issei blinked, "Buchou?"

"Yeah, Rias made it clear that she was not going to involve herself and the Peerage in the fight between the Fallen and the Church. There's no way she would agree to this." Natsuki explained.

"Then we just won't tell her!" Issei responded.

Natsuki groaned, "Issei, how are we going to be able to do this by ourselves? We are not only going against weapons that can kill us, but Kokabiel, one of the most powerful Fallen Angels to ever exist."

Issei thought about what Natsuki said, she was right the odds would be against them if they went by themselves.

But we have to do this, we're Sacred Gear holders and dragons, our strength should be enough to help Kiba, it has to be. He thought.

Issei then jumped off his bed as an idea came to him, "We can ask Saji!"

Natsuki looked at him confused, "The smug Pawn from Sona-Kaichou's Peerage?"

"Yeah! Not only is he a Pawn just like us, but he has a Sacred Gear too! I remember him bragging about it before." Issei yelled, "And he's apart of another group, so we don't have to worry about him telling Buchou. It's perfect!"

Natsuki was not convinced, she doubted that Saji was as strong as Issei thought, remembering when they first met, how she sensed his low magical energy. But then she remembered that her own magical energy was average, and Issei's was terrible, and despite this they were both strong, so she did not have room to judge.

Natsuki sighed, "Fine, let's ask Saji for help. But you know that even if we do win, Rias will still punish us for disobeying her."

"Huh? But she didn't punish us when we went to go save Asia?" Issei asked, he did not think this would be any different as in a way they were trying to save Kiba.

"She didn't, but that was different; Rias was basically telling us to go without saying it aloud, that way it wouldn't look like she was picking a fight with the Fallen. This is far more serious than what happened before, this could actually lead to war." Natsuki stressed, trying to make Issei see what the problem was.

"There will already be a war if the Church and the Fallen start fighting each other. This fight will be unavoidable, Buchou can't avoid a war in Kuoh by trying to stay neutral." Issei countered.

Natsuki leaned back in the desk chair she was sitting in, "That still doesn't change the fact that Rias wanted to stay out of it, and she'll have no choice but to fight if we're caught in the middle of it."

Before Issei could reply, a small glowing green aura appeared around his left hand and Ddraig stared speaking. "Just go ahead and do it! Who cares if you get in trouble later, helping your friend now is what's important!"

"Huh? Ddraig? You're speaking to me again?" Issei asked.

Natsuki stared at Issei's hand in shock, "Ddraig? The Red Dragon Emperor?"
