Dragon's Tragedy

If you read my page, you will know that I love a tragic origin for the protagonist, it just helps my creative mind flow, but I thought, 'what if I made a tragedy the story?' I've been struggling to create another story, but I feel really good about this one. I don't really care about plot holes, though I will try to make it authentic as I can, but my main goal is to make this tragic story.

I will try to make you guys cry, hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day.

Chapter 1 Dragon Without its Wings

In an anonymous location in hell, a man with a long spear stumbled in his base of operation with his injured comrades to hide and lick their wounds. Their leader with the staff, Cao Cao, grinded his teeth from the defeat and the loss of his eye from everyone's favorite Red Dragon Emperor.

"Cao Cao, were being called back to headquarters." A muscular man known as Hercules stated. Cao Cao's eyes were inflamed, he could not accept that he was defeated by a mere highschool boy. His mind was clouded as thoughts of revenge poured into his mind like a forge in work of smelting silver.

"I'm not going anywhere until I make the Red Dragon Emperor suffer for what he did to me." He growled.

"But our peers are giving us an order." Hercules said.

"Screw them! I want Issei Hyoudou to squirm beneath my feet!" Cao Cao's hate for Issei, grew with every second. He began to think and smile to himself.

"That girl, his source of power, perfect." He said to himself.

"Cao Cao, we have to go." Hercules said, still trying to reason with him.

"Go then, I'm not going anywhere until I taste that boy's despair!" He yelled, almost insanely.

With his comrades gone, only a few people were left as they were specifically assigned to Cao Cao.

"Let's pay a visit to Kuoh Academy." He said with a smile.

At the said Academy Issei Hyoudou having the best day off he had in awhile. He finally got to take his official girlfriends out, including Rossweisse and Ravel, making their day. Taking Akeno to the beach, Asia to the park. Koneko to the fair, and so on. With Rias however, she had a plan all sorted out, surprising Issei, he was dragged out of the door waving his parents goodbye.

"Rias hey, ow, don't pull so hard." Issei was flinching as his arm was becoming dislocated.

"Sorry, I'm just so excited, I get to spend the rest of my day with my Ise." She squealed, making Issei blush a bit. Ever since they have officially been together, Rias has been showing her happy girl side more often, and it made her boyfriend happy.

They went to a marriage practice, Issei stood at the entrance a bit shocked. Rias leaned in and smiled.

"Are you nervous?" Rias asked.

"Nervous, me? No, I'm just surprised is all." Issei said.

"Oh come, you know I've been wanting to do this with you." Rias said, puffing out her cheeks. Issei chuckled.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Issei asked with a smile. Rias's eyes lit up as she started dragging Issei into the chapel.

They entered and saw what looked like a real wedding ceremony was about to take place.

"Woah, this place is, a bit overwhelming." Issei admitted.

"Oh don't be like that, cute couples are always welcome here." A woman in a business suit walked up with a usual business smile.

"We would like to have a practice wedding if your not busy." Rias asked.

"Well of course, I'm sure a cute couple like you two would look absolutely dazzling in wedding clothes." The woman said. Issei was anxious, but at the same time, he was excited that he got to act out his first wedding.

Issei was standing in the front, feeling nervous and happy mixed together into a tornado of emotions, he couldn't believe how far he came, how he finally got official with Rias, and how he was almost a senior class devil. If he could die, he could die happy. His thoughts were interrupted when the piano started playing and the doors slowly opened, revealing Rias in a beautiful wedding dress that made Issei blush, she was amazing to Issei and it made him happy that he went through with this.

Rias stood in front of Issei as the priest began to speak. It was time to say their vows and Rias spoke first.

"Issei, I vow to always be with you, as have wished for a long time." Issei's mind couldn't take it his heart was pounding until he realized it was his turn.

"Rias, I've loved you for a long time too, I vow to a happy life with you, and that I will protect you until death." Issei said with confidence. Rias smiled happily before started to cry. The priest spoke again until they both spoke the words that they've always wanted to say.

"I do." They both said at the same time.

"You may now kiss the bride." The priest said. Rias reacted by jumping onto Issei and wrapping her legs around his waist. Issei embraced her tight hug as they both shared a deep and passionate kiss. The woman stood to the side as a pretend best man, smiling to herself of how happy the two were. The ceremony was done and the two were walking home hand and hand. Rias stopped for a moment and looked up at the stars.

"Hey Issei?" Issei stopped to her voice.

"What's up Rias?" He asked.

"When this war against the terrorist are over, what do you plan to do?" She asked.

"Hmm, I mean, I will become an upperclassman soon and I might be able to create my own house, but…" Issei, paused.

"But what?" Rias asked.

"I would maybe like to settle down, I don't know. If I reach my goal, I would maybe like to settle down with you and everyone else, see where we go from there, we have forever anyways." Issei said. Rias smiled.

"We could get married for real!" She said.

"That sounds wonderful." Issei said with a smile. Rias blushed a bit before raising her head.

"I love you Issei." She said.

"I love you too Rias." The two kissed again. They were too distracted to know that they were being watched Cao Cao agents.

Issei woke up in surprise that no one was in the bed with him. He would always wake up with his girlfriends coddling him in their sleep. He sat up and looked around his house to see that no one was here. He looked in the kitchen and found a note.

"Business with my brother, and you looked too adorable to wake up, see you at school. Love Rias." Issei read the note out loud.

'I guess I have to get to school now.' Issei thought before getting ready.

"I'm heading out mom!" He yelled for his echo to move around the massive house the Rias's brother built.

"Okay, have a good day at school." She yelled back. With that, Issei bolted out the door, ready for the day.

At the clubroom, Rias and her peerage, besides Irina, were finishing up their business with Sirzechs and were getting ready for class. Rias remembered the conversation she had with Issei the other night and wanted to talk about it with the others.

"Have any of you talked to Issei, well, about the future with him?" Rias asked, everyone looked at each other before nodding at Rias.

"Issei said that he wanted to settle down and live a happy life with us, and maybe that we can make a family." Asia said.

"He said that I could finally make a baby with him!" Xenovia jumped for joy.

"I guess that's a yes." Rias said with a smile. "Honestly, I can't wait." Rias said.

"Your not the only one president." Akeno said with her innocent smile.

The moment was ruined however when something came from under the door. They sensed a holy presence and became vigil until the it was revealed that it was a holy grenade as it exploded and consumed the room with light. Cries of pain were heard throughout the room. Irina did her best to give Asia cover with her angel wings that seemed to do the trick, but everyone else was injured.

Everyone, was injured besides Irina and Asia. They struggled to get up as Kiba, was trying to summon his balance breaker, but the pain was too much for him to focus.

The door opened and none other than Cao Cao casually walking into the chaos that he created.

"My what a mess, I thought that the little sister of the great devil king would be a little more tidy around here." He said.

"Cao Cao, what do you want from us?" Rias asked.

"Oh me, I want what every enemy wants, I want the hero to suffer, and I know exactly how to do it." He said.

With the last ounce of his strength, Kiba grabbed a broken leg off of the table and swung it at Cao Cao.

"Haha, squirm like a worm you are." Cao Cao laughed as he caught the leg and broke Kiba's arm. Kiba winced in pain. Koneko got up and tried to kick Cao Cao, but was thrown into the window by one of his agents that followed behind the maniac.

"It's time I take something from your dear Red Dragon Emperor.

Issei entered the classroom feeling odd, he saw that Asia's desk was missing and a substitute teacher was here. Issei walked towards Ravel who was doing some studying before class started.

"Mourning Ravel." Issei said.

"Oh, good mourning Issei." She greeted with a smile.

"Say, did Asia stop by or Rossweisse? I haven't seen them all mourning." Issei said.

"No, now that you mention it, I haven't seen them at all this mourning." She said. Issei was confused, he could have sworn that Asia and Rossweisse would be here by now, but there was sub here, it didn't make sense to him.

The bell rang, and class started, Issei, was looking out of the window feeling a little uneasy.

'Are you okay partner?' Draig asked.

'Not sure, Everyone left early, yet there not here, I'll just check the ORC room, I'm sure they had some major business with Sirzechs.' Issei said to Draig in his mind. He said that, but Draig still sense an uneasiness in his master.

The lunch bell rang and Issei jogged through the halls before getting grabbed in the back of the shirt by Sona Sitri.

"No running in the halls Hyoudou." She said in her bland, but serious tone.

"Sorry Ms. Sitri, have you seen Rias at all today? I haven't seen anyone all mourning." Issei asked. Sona shook her head.

"She's probably busy with business." She said.

"That's what I think, but I want to make sure." Issei said. Sona lets him go and he walked out of the building before running again to the ORC clubroom.

Issei stood in front of the door and realized that his uneasy feeling became stronger. In fact it felt like there was a holy presence that was in the room recently.

"Everything is fine, Michael might have paid a visit that's all." Issei said trying to assure himself. He quickly opened the door and was frozen in fear as the place looked ransacked, or obliterated. Issei looked and saw the curtains torn and the tables smashed in.

"Rias? Akeno?" He called out, but in response, a magic circle appeared before him. He had a really bad feeling about this, but he had to do something. Without hesitation he stepped into the magic circle and disappeared.

Issei appeared in a creepy version of the chapel that Rias took him, he opened the second door to see the woman that gave Rias and him the introduction of the practice wedding, crucified and stabbed many times before dead. The look on her face showed that she died in great pain leaving his stomach churning.

"Partner, I can feel the the disturbed energy in here, it's Cao Cao." Draig said.

"I don't feel so good." Issei said.

"I know, but you have to keep it together, we have to be ready for anything." He said.

"Right, I have to find them." Issei said. He walked past the dead woman. The chapel was clear where the chairs were supposed to be. The opposite side of the room was pitch black, but he sensed someone in the shadows.

"Rias?" Xenovia?" Issei called out.

"Try again you little brat." A voice from the darkness called out.

"Cao Cao, where are the girls, where's Kiba?" Issei demanded Cao Cao only laughed and snapped his fingers. A light turned on, showing the girls trying to struggle to break free from there crucifixion. Cao Cao also revealed Kiba with his hands wrapped around his neck Issei stood in horror before his eyes began to turn red.

"Let them go, put Kiba down NOW!" Issei said in a dark tone.

"Issei, please, you must save them." Kiba said like it was his final will before his demise.

"You should learn to choose your words more wisely, too bad I need them to get my revenge on you. You took something precious of mine, it's time I repay the favor!" He laughed insanely. He took his spear and cut Kiba's throat clean, blood spilled profusely, as it dripped to the floor, so was Issei's vomit. His mind was getting fuzzy, his heart quaked with anger and sadness, but he couldn't give in, or else his Juggernaut would destroy everything in his path.

"I'll kill you for what you've done, I'll kill you!" Issei yelled.

Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker

"Balance Breaker promotion, QUEEN!" Issei yelled before unleashing his ultimate power onto Cao Cao.

"Yes! Beat me to a pulp, save you precious loved ones!" Cao Cao shouted with venom. Issei wasted no time showing his strength. He used his speed and appeared right before Cao Cao. Cao Cao tried to swing his spear, but Issei took it out of his hand and threw it to the floor. As it pierced into the ground, Issei took Cao Cao's head and smashed it onto the tip of the handle. He was knocked back and recovered before trying to punch Issei's armor, but it's queen promotion was too powerful for him to make a dent. He grabbed him and punched him in the stomach, knocking his breath out and knocking him in the face. He used his magic power and punched Cao Cao causing an explosion knocking him onto the floor.

"Too easy." Issei said. He looked over and saw everyone with hope in their eyes. He began to run to them to cut them free from their holy restraints.

"Don't worry everything will be okay." Issei said as he made his way to them.

"Thank Lord Michael, I knew you would come." Irina called out. Issei became closer when time seemed to have stop, some sort of beeping echoed throughout the room.

"Issei?" Rias said before an explosion went off and engulfed the entire room.

Fire covered the walls and ceiling. Ash slowly floating down as beams began to crackle and fall to the floor. Issei was barely conscious when Cao Cao stepped on his face and began kicking it over and over again, but it was numb to him.

"How do you like that hero? To fail the people you love, let me taste your tears of horror and despair!" He laughed. Issei's mind could barely hear what he was saying, the explosion gave him a concussion, leaving him in a confused state.

His mind started to stir as he remembered the events that led him to his face under Cao Cao's boot.

'No.' Issei thought 'They can't be, can they?' Issei's vision began to clear and he caught Cao Cao's boot before he stomped it into his face again. He push Cao Cao off with tremendous force. Issei stood up slowly with despair in his eyes.

"What did you do?" He said. "What did you do!?" He yelled again.

"Did I hit your head a bit hard? I killed the people you love, now we're even!" Cao Cao said. Without a word, Issei instantly turned into his juggernaut drive, his anger and despair far surpassed what he could think, whether he said the verses or not he couldn't tell. He was in ruin. It didn't take any effort however as the energy emanating from the dragon's body was so thick, Cao Cao was melted alive from the dragon's anger and fire that engulfed the building. The whole building collapse as the dragon roared all its might. And began its rampage.
