Third Person POV

The scene opens up in a bedroom; the night sky visible through a nearby window. On a bedside table was an alarm clock which showed the current time; 10: 25 PM.

Just then; a hand came into view and proceeded to pick up the alarm clock. It was then revealed that the owner of the hand was none other than Issei Hyoudou, who was sitting on the bed while staring down at the clock.

Issei: 'Only one hour left until its time....'

He then placed the alarm clock back down on the bedside table.

Issei: 'One hour.... until I gotta save that chicken Nugget'

After agreeing to aid Ravel in freeing her brother from possession; Issei decided to kick the remaining days of training into overdrive. Don't get him wrong, Issei was pretty confident in his abilities and he was originally planning on using Riser's arrogance against him.

However, with the chicken Nugget now being possessed... Issei knew that he needed to be prepared for whatever he was gonna face. Once again, he was already confident in his abilities but the young man didnt know what kind of demon was possessing Riser.

Did it matter? A little since Issei felt like it would be nice to know what he was up against. However, he knew that it didn't matter in the end because of one simple thing....

Issei was gonna win. He will beat this demon and free Riser from its clutches.

Being able to beat the shit out of the chicken Nugget was just an added bonus.

Issei couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.

Ddraig: ["Something funny, Partner?"]

The brown-haired boy glanced down at his hand, seeing the glowing green gem.

Issei: "Oh, hey. Ddraig, been a minute since I heard from you"

Ddraig: ["My apologies, you were so focused on your training that I didn't want to interrupt you"]

Issei couldn't help but snort.

Issei: "Please, I'm sure that wouldn't of stopped you. It sure as hell didn't before"

Through their connection, Issei felt the dragon roll his eyes.

Ddraig: ["Anyways, I have a question for you Partner..."]

Hearing this caused Issei to raise an eyebrow in curiosity.

Issei: "A question? Alright then, what's up my scaley friend?"

Ddraig: ["I was just wondering.... Are you really gonna save that Phenex from whatever is possessing him?"]

Issei: "Um, why do you ask?"

Ddraig: ["Well, I just thought you wouldn't do it; considering your previous interaction with the arrogant hier"]

The dragon did have a point; after his first encounter with Riser, he doesn't really have the best opinion of him. However, Issei wasn't doing this for Riser. He was doing this for both Rias and Ravel, mostly Ravel since she was the one who came to him for help.

So yeah, while Issei doesn't have the best opinion about Riser; when it comes to Ravel... he was pretty chill with her since she didn't really do anything.

He then looked down at the glowing green gem at the back of his hand.

Issei: "Your right, Ddraig. I dont have the best opinion on the chicken Nugget..."

Just then, a small smile grew onto his face.

Issei: "But I'm not doing this for him... am I?"

Ddraig: ["No... no you are not, Partner"]
