*Third Person POV*
Y/n, in his new balance breaker, charged forward, as Vali and Titus jumped out of the way. He slammed his fist into the ground, creating a massive crater.
Titus used his balance breaker, and Vali flew into the air. Titus ran at Y/n, and tried to punch him in the face, only for Y/n to grabbed his arm. Y/n lifted him into the air, and slammed him back into the ground.
His armor chipped a bit, and Y/n turned his attention to Vali, who was launching magic attacks at him.
"BLACK FIRE!"
Y/n launched a ball of black fire at him, and he fell to the ground.
Y/n started to walk towards him, as he pushed himself off the ground weakly.
"Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! BOOST!"
Y/n charged forward, reeling his fists back.
He punched Vali in the face, sending him flying. He landed in the dirt a little bit away, completely knocked out.
Titus' armor had disappeared by this point, and he weakly pushed himself out of the crater in the ground. He stood up and weakly walked over to where his brother was.
He picked him up, wrapping his arm around his shoulder, as a teleportation glyph opened beneath them.
"We'll settle this later, Y/n." He said, "Farewell."
They left, and Y/n's balance breaker disappeared, and he was breathing heavily.
"I... did... it."
And with that, he fell backwards, passing out.
[Timeskip]
*Y/n POV*
I slowly opened my eyes, hearing the beeping of what I think is a heart monitor. I looked around and saw that I was in the infirmary back at Beacon.
"I have been here way too many times." I said to myself.
I felt a weight on my chest, and looked down to see Funus laying on my chest, letting out quiet snores. I gently raised my arm and started to rub his back,as he slowly woke up. He rubbed his eyes and left out a yawn, and then saw me.
"Partner!"
"Hey Funus," I said, "How long have I been out?"
"A month."
"Holy crap." I said, "What's happened? Where is everyone?"
"Partner, you should rest. I'll tell you later, when everyone is here. For now, rest."
"Fine."
We passed the time by talking, and before I knew it, a few hours had passed. I heard voices outside the room, and the door opened.
"Hey guys." I said.
"Y/n!"
I was suddenly engulfed in a hug, as a bunch of different people tried to hug me at the same time.
"Kiba! Gasper! Help!" I called, "I'm drowning!"
"Alright girls, get off him." Kiba said.
Everyone got off of me and I saw that Rias, her peerage, Yang, and Ruby. Funus, who had flown into the air, landed back on my shoulder.
"I'm so glad you're okay." Rias said, "We were worried about you."
"Yeah, you just passed out after the fight and didn't wake up for a month." Yang added.
"Well, thank you all for worrying about me."
I looked around the group and noticed something, more like someone, was missing.
"Where's Issei?"
I saw everyone just sort of look around awkwardly, and I started to get the feeling that something was off.
"Where. Is. Issei?" I asked again.
"Well, you see.." Rias said.
"He might have..." Ruby continued.
"He gave his life to save yours, by transferring Ddraig to you." Funus said simply.
My eyes went wide. Issei died to save me, and he also transferred Ddraig to me.
That doesn't matter right now. He's dead, and I can't let that go to waste.
"He was buried in the forest," Rias said, "We felt he deserved proper burial."
"Could I have some time alone?" I asked.
"Yes, let's go." Funus said, leading everyone else out.
I sat there for a second, before I got out of the bed. I took off the hospital robe and threw on my clothes, which I found right next to me. I opened the window and jumped out, spreading my wings.
I walked through the forest, no specific goal in mind. I just walked, trying to keep my mind blank. I eventually came upon a small hill, which I walked to the top of.
When I reached the top, I saw a gravestone, and I read the inscription.
Issei Hyoudou
Servant of the Gremory Clan.
Pawn of Rias Gremory.
Red Dragon Emperor.
Friend, Family, and Pervert.
May He Rest In Peace
I felt something on my left arm, and I saw the boosted Gear on my arm.
"What I do from now on, I don't do for myself. I do it for those who can't fight any longer. For those who fought in the past. And for those who died to protect the world."
"I fight..."
"For the World."
Hey everybody, it's your friendly neighborhood Author Man here!
Okay, before people start talking about how they're glad Issei is dead, let me explain some things.
#1: I hate Issei as much as anyone can. I think he's a terrible character, and has few redeemable traits, if any.
#2: Now realize this. The reader/protag was abused by his family, and then found out his real father was someone else. After escaping from his abusive family, he met his real family, and got a happy life. Now his family also includes those who are in Rias' peerage, as he calls Kiba a "brother". Think about that. In his eyes, he just lost a family member, a brother.
(In fact, I believe nobody in Rias' peerage is a redeemable character. Rias is an evil mastermind who knows Issei is going to die, but let's it happen so that she can force him to join his peerage. Everyone else is an accomplice to murder.)
#3: Ddraig cares about Issei. It may seem strange, but he really does. So for Issei to pass, it would hurt Ddraig as well. Y/n realizes this, and he feels Ddraig's pain, as both see Issei as an important person to them.
So yeah. All I want is for people to take this into consideration before they start making comments about it.
See ya in another life Brotha!
