Summoned Together (Highschool DXD x Male reader)

Chapter 1

Crashing wings sending cascades of fire over the emerald landscape. Trees torn from their roots and tossed aside like unwanted toys. Cities bellowing with smoke, houses reduced to rubble. This was daily life for you, everyday was a new torment at the mercy of the dragons and at one point you had enough; together with your best friend, your lover, the one with you from childhood- you felt strong, she made you a better man and stood by your side as a companion in arms.

Today was meant to be the final day, the end of all tyranny in your lands; the final dragon you needed to kill. You stood there, confidence binding your halberd firmly in your hands- the wood and blade were tinted red from the blood of hundreds of dragons before this one and just as all dragons, this one should have been no different; you were mistaken. It took mere seconds after it awoke for it to send you both flying, you caught your lover's body before it could hit the ground and thankfully she was less injured than yourself but the dragon was now awake and angered.

Dragon: " You dare attempt to fight me mortals?! "

The dragon yelled, it's booming voice tearing trees from the ground and shaking even the nearby mountains- it was the only one so far that had been able to speak and it's voice shook you to the core. You sealed your lips as you made sure your wife was able to stand, guiding her hand as you stood beside her firmly. 

Despite everything: Love, hope, passion, determination... none of it was enough, there was no way the power of love or emotion would win against a beast this strong. Your eyes fell heavy as your body was scarred and torn, blood pouring and pooling with the slightest movements; your lover wasn't any better and the sight of her torn apart was saddening- a pain greater than that of your physical state but for now you were both still alive; her hand lay near you, separated from her body and as you looked over at it, you saw the ring you married her with so evidently on her finger and felt a strength to keep fighting. You forced yourself to stand, the dragon lashing out and raging nearby but you managed to hovel over to it and felt the surge of energy bless you again, blood fell from your mouth but you managed to muster a few words to your wife that began to stand with you.

You: " My dear... I will buy you time, please run far from here "

You begged, wanting to see her get away safely more than you wanted to see the sunrise tomorrow.

Her: " Don't be a fool (Y/N), we married each other right. We did so for a reason remember, through life and death; so don't try make me run, I'll never leave you behind so if this is your final stand then it's mine too.. we'll die together! "

You smirked at her words, gripping your weapon as you turned to her and smiled; watching her join you at your side as you both mustered up the final bit of strength and charged at the dragon feeling the burning power of something never felt before.. true love's final gift.

It felt cold, lonely even. Floating around an endless sea of white, no sound or sight anywhere nearby you; it was hardly possible to hear your own voice except for when it was in your head. You stayed there for a while, in the void, floating and thinking- wondering if you had died or something else, was this all there was after death? Silence. And then you heard it, the flapping of wings as the scene around you changed; the void still surrounded you but you found yourself stood on a floating island, green grass and beautiful pink trees lining the path forwards, you followed it and began wondering where you were, what was up ahead, why all this was happening. When you began feeling tired and alone again, you finally reached the end of the long path and saw what was ahead of you- the same dragon that had presumably killed you and your wife just flying a few feet from the ground, it's head was facing you as though it was expecting you to arrive.

Dragon: " Hello mortal. I assume you want answers to it all huh? "

The dragon asked, it's large glossy white body landing on the island's surface and slowly shrinking in a dazzling light that obscured it from view before slowly fading away to reveal a woman's body; nude and yet with nothing to show, smooth like a doll. The woman had a soft face, round and delicate, small and yet glaring red eyes with long white eyelashes, long flowing white hair that turned black at the tips and a very thin yet tall frame. 

Dragon: " Allow me to explain, I am Chronologia, the dragon emperor of a thousand timelines also known as the great aurora dragon and I am not originally from your dimension or your time line I guess you could say. There is another time line similar to yours, yet I have no power there and needed to reside within your dimension for the time being; however you and your wife managed to kill me in the end and here we are now "

You: " Wait if we killed you, where is she? Why is she not here, I want to see my love! "

Chronologia: " That is a difficult question to explain you see.. there are other dragons in my home dimension, many more powerful than me and many weaker; there was a threat there that needed dealing with an in order to deal with it I needed to seal it, when I did my powers were far weaker and a few dragons attempted to kill me, I was the strongest at the time. I fled through space and time and ended up here. "

You: " That doesn't answer my question! "

Chronologia: " I was getting there.. It seems another being, far more powerful than I currently am, saw something in her and took her to my old world, something they didn't see in you. They planned to leave you floating here outside of existence. A problem has arose though, you have spent far too long here and have absorbed a bit of power from 'The prisoner' that resides here and it'll be hard to keep you hidden from their detection when I send you there. There is a plan however "

You: " I'll do whatever it takes, I will follow her to the end of existence if I need too so just tell me the plan! "

Chronologia: " I knew I saw that fire in your eyes. There is a being in my old world, one I sealed a long time ago and the one who reduced my power; I can gain my power back and hide your presence from the greater beings for a while until you grow more powerful but in return you must be the new vessel for the being I sealed and may experience many horrors due to it. "

You: " If all it takes is being the host for some dusty old fossil in order to see my love again then I don't need a second to think it over; Give me the details and let's go! "

Chronologia: " I admire your spirit but that attitude may hurt you in the future. You will become the vessel for an evil man known as Gilgamesh; he is an ancient king and powerful sorcerer who once ruled the devils of the world. He used the name he shared with an ancient demi-god worshipped by many people as a stepping stone to try take over the world, you will be able to use his powers in return for allowing me to seal him inside you but please do not get consumed by the mad man. "

You: " I'll never let him take control, I promise I'll keep him in check but why will I need his powers? "

Chronologia: " You see the world I'm sending you too has gods, angels, fallen angels, demons, devils, humans and familiars. It is a mixing pot of powers and you will need them to survive, in order for you too find and see your beloved again you will need to grant me power; find strong foes and drain them of their powers so that I can absorb it and return; if you do so I can fight and defeat the one who took your lover and help reunite you if you have not already done so yourself, you may find her before I return and if that happens I will find a new champion to drain power from people and allow you to live peacefully with your beloved. "

You: " So in the long run this benefits us both, I find powerful people to drain power from whilst trying to find my love and in return to gain that power until I find her and get a huge chunk of it back as I act like a seal for the one you needed to restrain? "

Chronologia: " Essentially yes, that is it. You gain power and the ability to find her whilst I gain my old power back and some new ones too "

You nodded, finally coming to an agreement with the ancient dragon; she reached out to you, her ghostly pale and almost see-through skin brushing against yours as you feel the void surround you- the last thing peeking through the white abyss being her smile before the world faded around you. You had died.
