Return Of A Soul.. Highschool Dxd Fanfic

part 11. farewell.

Michael: but of course. It shall be done.

Issei: thank you.

He moves away and calls for everyone.

Issei: these may be my final words and I'm not okay with that honestly, I want to thank you all for everything. Tell everyone at the Gremory household that I'll miss them all dearly. Haha I might miss Riser a bit too.

Issei then vomited a black liquid, it was his blood nearly black and very thick.

Kuroka: how? How can you still laugh at a time like this? I became the death of you.

Issei: I'm okay with that.

He laughs again.

Akeno: take it easy Issei. You're in a great deal of pain.

Issei: compared to what Kuroka went through, this isn't much. Just kick Euclid's ass for me and for my family's sake. Don't let him hurt anyone ever again. He has to pay for hurting Grayfia, my family, the millions of humans and....sigh.... Everyone in the supernatural world as well.

Evelyn: papa why aren't you fighting it? Why are you accepting your death so easily? This isn't the side of you mama told me about?

She continues to cry.

Rossweisse: please fight it. You stared death in the face many times and lived.

Issei: truth be told, I believe that this is my penance, I failed to protect her, failed to be by her side when she needed me for 15 years.

He then looks at Kuroka.

Issei: I didn't just fail you once, I failed you everyday for 15 years, I couldn't face our daughter thinking that I let you die.

He started to cry.

Issei: it is unforgivable and now this is the price I pay, I'm happy fate gave me one last chance to make it right and I'm okay with that. Evelyn, you still have more family, Micheal, Gabriel, lady Yasaka and Kouno here are some of them. You have a big family by your side, you'll be happy with them.

Issei slowly closed his eyes and the last thing he saw was everyone rushing to him, crying, calling out to him but... He couldn't hear them yet he couldn't help but smile. Everyone saw Issei take his last breath, he closed his eyes and the sacred gear on his arm disappeared but he died smiling. Kuroka and Evelyn just broke down completely and almost everyone else did as well. Those who held on called everyone at the Gremory household. They broke the news. If all the death and destruction wasn't grim enough then it is now.

Kuroka held her daughter tightly, their cries were heard by everyone there, Azazel, Ajuka, Serafall, Rias's parents, Riser and his team, Sona and her peerage, Sairorg and his peerage all came as soon as they heard, none could believe that he was gone. He beat Loki, helped take down Rizvim Lucifer and stop an evil dragon army, they all became one force that beat the beast...how...how could he be killed just like that?

Azazel: ISSEI!!

Saji: no...not him. WHY HIM?

Vali was shaking, he lost his rival turned brother, Albion lost his friend, his one true equal. Rias lost her saviour, Koneko lost her brother, Kiba, Xenovia, Asia, Rossweisse, Irina, Gasper, Akeno, everyone cried. After all the chaos stopped, the underworld media sent drones everywhere to get answers, one of the drones stumbled upon them. Everyone mourning the loss of the red dragon emperor. The news spread everywhere, in all factions and all mythologies. Gabriel, Michael and Irina truly prayed that Issei's and Ddraig's souls would appear in heaven but it never happened, Issei was a devil and Ddraig was a sacred gear. They know that Issei can't enter heaven while Ddraig will move on to the next host.
