"Gabriel-san. Leviathan-san. Why are you two here?"
Serafall was the first to respond as she smiled.
"I just wanted to see how Ise-chan was. We all saw your fight with the descendant of Lucifer. Rias-chan and the rest of the girls were worried about you too."
"…Worried?" Issei questioned as he looked over at Rias, Akeno, Tsubaki, and Sona with red shades on their faces.
He noticed that Sona's face had gained a red shade as she glared at Serafall.
"Onee-sama…"
Blinking several times, Issei then turned his attention to Gabriel, who smiled back.
"My brother, the leader of the Angels would like to speak with you."
"Your brother?"
Dimensional Gap
"Absorb the power of Albion?"
"Yes."
"Is that possible?"
Ophis tilted her head as she looked up at the Great Red. She flew up to the height of her brother's horn, and positioned Albion's jewel so he could look at it closely.
"Do you remember the first time we both sensed my Issei's power? When his power was no longer pure, but much darker?"
"Yeah, I remember. You went off into a tangent."
Narrowing her eyes at the memory, Ophis continued her explanation.
"I have discovered through conversing with Ddraig, that the power my mate emitted was akin to that of a Phoenix with the flames of hell-fire.
"Hell-Fire?"
"Yes. Ddraig informed me that my Issei had absorbed the flames of a Devil of the Phenex Clan. When he absorbed those flames, the solar energy structure within his body merged with the blazes of the legendary Phoenix."
"So Issei is a Phoenix now?" Great Red asked, trying to grasp what Ophis was explaining to him.
"Not completely. The Hell-Fire transformation bestows him the attributes of the Phoenix. He is only a half-Phoenix."
"All right, I think I get that. So what the hell does this have to do with Albion's jewel?"
Ophis held up the jewel to her eye level, her dark-gray eyes narrowing in concentrating.
"If my Issei was able to absorb the power of a Phoenix, then perhaps he can absorb the power of the Vanishing Dragon."
"Hold on a minute," Great Red began as he rose himself up. "So would that make Issei transform again? If you're saying that Albion's power cannot blend with Ddraig's own, but it can possibly combine with Issei…are you also saying that Issei would be able to obtain another transformation?"
"That, is my theory." Ophis said as she pocketed the Vanishing Dragon's jewel.
Looking up at the Great Red, Ophis tilted her head as she spotted Lilith sitting on top of Great Red's scales. She noticed that her clone was holding a bag in her hands.
"Lilith," Ophis began as she flew up to her clone. "When did you come back?"
Lilith tilted her head as she looked at her original.
"Cousin Leiko, bought me doughnuts and cookies. I, am now back."
"Tch," Great Red muttered as he tried to will himself not to shake Lilith off of him. "You better not get any crumbs on me, Lilith."
"No, promises." Lilith countered as she took a cookie out of the bag.
Ophis smiled as she watched her clone pick on Great Red. Although she would never say it out loud, Ophis had to admit that she had grown tolerant of the Great Red from the time they had spent together. She, Issei, and Great Red actually were a pretty good group.
'My, Issei was right. He, Baka-Red, and I, are a Trinity.'
Issei's House
Issei sighed as he looked at the women in his house. He was trying to decide what task he was going to do first. The Devils at Kuoh Academy could always talk to him about Ophis or Great Red at school, so he wasn't too worried about that.
The clients that Xuelan and Siris mentioned were something to consider as well. Issei had to admit, he really wasn't good or interested in becoming an informant broker. Azazel made true to that. Although he was technically a client, he hadn't contacted Issei for information. So that was something Issei had to think about.
Then there was the subject of Gabriel's brother meeting with him.
'The leader of the Angels, huh? So that would make him an Archangel. Why does he want to talk to me, though?'
Issei then widened his eyes as he realized he had forgotten something important. Something he needed to ask these girls, so the next time, this would never occur.
"Before I do any of those things, I need to ask something."
The women in his house remained quiet as they awaited Issei's words.
"…Are you stalking me?"
"WHAT?!" The women shouted suddenly.
"What on earth made you come to that conclusion?" Tsubaki asked with a slight hue on her cheeks.
Issei rose an eyebrow as he lifted a finger up.
"Well first of all, I never told any of you where I lived. The only women who know where I live, are Xuelan-san, Gabriel-san, and Ophis. So how did you know where I live?"
"It's not that hard to pinpoint your energy, Ise-chan." Serafall exclaimed with a smile on her face.
"Guh!" Issei stuttered as he tried to calm himself. "Even so, that doesn't mean you have to follow me around!"
Rias rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms.
"What about Ophis? Out of all of us, she's the stalker!"
"How dare you accuse me of stalking my mate!"
The women and Issei all felt their chests tighten as they turned to see Ophis with an uncharacteristically furious look on her face.
"Ophis! Wh-"
"Be silent, my mate." Ophis stated darkly, as she walked forward to the girls sitting on her mate's couch.
"Why, are you in my Issei's house?"
The Devils, and Angel wisely (or unwisely) kept their mouths shut, as to prevent themselves from provoking the jealousy and wrath of the Ouroboros Dragon. Ophis narrowed her eyes as she looked at the women in the house. She already recognized Xuelan, and the other member of Riser's former peerage. She recognized Gabriel.
