The next day, the Occult Research Club gathered in their meeting room, ready to test Issei's new power. They had chosen an isolated area in the nearby forest to avoid drawing unwanted attention.

"Are you sure about this, Issei?" Asia Argento asked, her green eyes filled with worry.

Issei gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Asia. I'll be careful."

With a deep breath, Issei concentrated on the space in front of him. He visualized a rift, a tear in the fabric of reality, and felt a surge of energy from within. Slowly, a shimmering portal began to form, glowing with a soft blue light.

Everyone watched in awe as the rift stabilized, revealing a glimpse of a lush, green landscape on the other side.

"You did it," Kiba said, his voice filled with admiration.

Issei grinned, but before he could respond, the rift began to ripple. A figure stepped through, causing everyone to tense. It was a girl, about their age, with silver hair and striking blue eyes. She wore a strange uniform and carried a staff adorned with runes.

"Who are you?" Rias demanded, stepping forward to protect her friends.

The girl raised her hands in a gesture of peace. "My name is Elara. I'm from a parallel dimension. Our world is in grave danger, and we need your help."

Issei felt a tug at his heart. He knew this was just the beginning of their new adventure. "What kind of danger?"

"A dark force is spreading, consuming everything in its path," Elara explained, her eyes pleading. "We don't have much time."

Issei exchanged a determined look with his friends. "Then we won't waste any. Let's go."

With that, they stepped through the rift, ready to face whatever challenges awaited them in this new world.
