High School DxD Universe

  "Die, you pervert." Raynare screamed, throwing a spear of light.

  "The only one who's going to die is you. " Issei yelled. A beam of light enveloped Issei's arm before it was replaced by a red metal shield, resembling the arm of a dragon. Ricocheting on it, the spear didn't any damage.

  "What the...? " The fallen angel asked worriedly

  "Raynare ! " Issei yelled, looking right to Raynare. "You're going to pay for all the evil you've done."

  "BOOST ! "

  "Don't... Don't get close to me." Raynare ordered, getting ready to fly and escape.

  "I won't let you escape again." Issei assured her, running towards her.

  "EXPLOSION ! " Jumping on the air, Issei extended his arm, trying to grab her hand. Foreseeing this gesture, the fallen angel avoided the grab flying to the ceiling. Once there, she turned to Issei while she created the largest spear that she could make.

  "Stop attacking me. Do you think that with your mediocrity of strength can defeat? Now, die !"

  "I told you already! The only one who's going to die... " Issei started to talk, targeting his arm.

  "Die." Raynare yelled, throwing her spear.

  "...IT'S YOU." Issei yelled. A red energy ball appeared on his hand and went through to Raynare's spear. Destroying the spear, the ball of fire hadn't trouble to continue its way to the fallen angel.

  "No ... No ... No ... NO !"

  "DRAGON SHOOT !"

  "NOOOOO. " Raynare screamed. She received the impact of the ball, screaming on pain while her body twisted in all directions. Slowly, her silhouette started to dissolve, while she whispered.

  "I don't want to diiiiiiiiiiiie."

  Completely disappeared, only some few feathers and Asia's ancient sacred gear fell to the floor. Seeing the sacred gear, Issei grabbed it and put it on the girl's lifeless body.

  "Sorry, Asia." Issei said, "I couldn't save you in time."

  "Issei, sometimes you have to believe in miracles." Rias said to Issei, appearing from behind him.

  "President?"

  "I think Asia has what it's needed to join my team!"

  White. A deep white void. That's the place where Raynare was floating when she opened her eyes.

  "Where am I ? " Not being able to move at all, she felt how her clothes were disintegrating one piece by one. Completely naked on the void, the same strange phenomenon which disintegrated her clothes started to attack both arms and legs. It was too late to save her soul, which started to disappear as her body had done.

  "No... I... I don't... I don't want to die. Somebody help me ! "

  "Do you want to live?" A voice asked her.

  "Huh ? " While her lower abdomen disappeared, a young woman, looking more like a child with a 'lolita' outfit appeared. With black hair and grey eyes, she looked more like a vampire wearing Hot Topic's clothes than a normal human being, with arrogance on her eyes.

  "Who... who are you?" Raynare asked while her wings disintegrated.

  "Do you want to live?" The lolita asked her.

  "Huh? What kind of question is that?"

  "I'm asking you if you want to start a new life."

  Soon, the rest of her body disintegrated, with the exception of her head. Raynare felt that there wasn't enough time when her head started to disintegrate. Having only a few seconds, she immediately began to yell.

  "Save me! I beg you! I'll do anything you want." The young Lolita waved her hand and the disintegration stopped, remaining just half of Raynare's head. Waving it again, her body reconstructed, to the surprise of the fallen angel.

  "My name is Ophis!" She informed her. "And I need your help to make disappear the Great Red."

  "The what?" The fallen angel asked.

  "Are you willing to help me?" Ophis asked her, letting Raynare's body decompose again. Seeing this, the fallen angel cried out.

  "All right! All right! I'll do whatever you want."

  "Much better." And before Raynare could say anything, Ophis put her palm on Raynare's belly and surrounded the fallen angel with a shiny light, which started to burn her.

  "Ah, it hurts! It hurts!" Suddenly, Raynare stopped screaming and saw her body back to the way it was before. "But what...? " Raynare asked when she saw that she could move again. "What did you...?"

  "I resurrected you… partially."

  "What do you mean with "partially"?"

  If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

  "You were doomed to disappear. But thanks to my magic, I was able to rebuild your body! However, from now on, my magic will leave your body slowly. When all the magic has completely disappeared, you will die forever and ever."

  "W-What!? Wait, how long do I have to live here?"

  "From the power of your body, I'd say... six months! You've only got six months to live! Unless… you can do me a favor."

  "A favor? What kind of favor?"

  "You must find the Pearl of the Dragon."

  "The Pearl of the Dragon?"

  "An ancient artifact which can give anyone enough power to be compared with the dragons! However, it was banished from this world due to its powers! I want it to kill the Great Red with this."

  "Who's the Great Red?"

  "A dragon I want to get rid of."

  "And why do you need me? Just looking at what you do to save me, I doubt that you are weaker than me."

  "The pearl of the dragon isn't just in another world, but also in another dimension." Ophis confessed to her. "If I could, I would go there myself! Nevertheless, I wasn't blessed with that power. Instead, I can just send people there! I was looking for a volunteer when I heard you were at death's door. That's the reason why I saved you."

  "And what's my role on it ?" Raynare asked her. "What do I get, out of six miserable months of living, for looking for your pearl before I die ?"

  "The power of the pearl will give me powers beyond compare." Ophis assured her. "With her, I could, as a reward, resurrect you forever! And even make you stronger than never!"

  Suddenly interested, Raynare questioned her.

  "Really?"

  "Of course." Already seeing herself taking revenge on Issei, Raynare got horrified when she saw Ophis leaving.

  "If you're not interested, I can find someone else."

  "Wait! Wait!" The fallen angel yelled "I will cooperate! But just promise me that you will bring me back to life."

  "I have only one thing: My word!" Ophis assured. Then, snapping her fingers, Ophis wrapped Raynare in a ball of light and warned her.

  "I know where the Dragon's Pearl is ! But I can't send you where it is. You won't survive long enough! You're too weak in the face of the enemies!"

  "Enemies? What enemies?"

  "I'm going to send you to someone who's looking for the One Piece: The treasure which contains the Dragon's Pearl among its riches!"

  "The One Piece?" Raynare repeated when the sphere suddenly lighted up. "Wait, what should I...?"

  "Here's your mission, Raynare! Help Monkey D. Luffy find the One Piece! Good luck, Raynare!" Ophis demanded, making her disappear.

  Fairy Tail Universe

  Opening his jaws wide, Acnologia let himself float just above the island of Tenro while concentrating an enormous source of energy.

  "The bastard wants to sink the island." Laxus warned.

  "Everyone, prepare your defensive attacks." Erza ordered.

  "Against this monster? It's just useless." Elfman replied.

  "If we focus all our energies, we can do it." Mirajane assured.

  "In that case, everyone holds hands and we unleash our magic at the same time." Grey advised. Forming a circle, the wizards of Fairy Tail confronted Acnologia, who was ready to cast his ray. Feeling the power of the beam, a person started to tremble.

  Lucy asked herself "Are we... going to die ? "

  Suddenly feeling someone took her hand, she turned to see who took her hand. It was Natsu, who immediately cried out.

  "You mustn't be afraid, Lucy!" Natsu affirmed, with a smile. "We'll go back to Fairy Tail, all of us, together."

  "Natsu ? " But before someone else could talk, Acnologia hit the island with the beam with no hesitation. Closing her eyes of the attack, Lucy couldn't see the attack and a sudden light flashing from her keys which enveloped Lucy like some kind of protection. The attack devastated the island of Tenro, wiping it off the map of the world.

  Opening carefully her eyes, Lucy was surprised about the fact of not feeling pain. She looked up at the sky and saw zero traces of Acnologia, like if he has never been there.

  "Is it gone ? " With a sigh of relief, Lucy sat down on the floor. However, she found her friends hadn't spoken or moved. Observing carefully, Lucy noticed that they were frozen.

  "F-Friends ? " Lucy stuttered, but there wasn't any answer. "Hey, hey!" Lucy yelled, shaking her hand in front of Natsu's face "Do you hear me?"

  "What's the matter with you!?" Lucy asked, shaking some of her friends before slapping some others. "Talk to me."

  Still nothing.

  Like statues, her friends got frozen for all eternity. Walking backward before that view, Lucy fell on her ass, before ask. "Did Acnologia do this?"

  "No, it was me." At that moment, Lucy saw the silhouette of a little girl behind her.

  "Wh-Wh-Who are you?"

  "Sorry if I scared you. My name is Mavis Vermilion, the founder of Fairy Tail!"

  "The what !?"

  "If it makes you feel any better, I'm just a spirit!"

  "That's even worse!" Lucy freaked out. Finally getting up, she pointed at her friends. "Why are they like that?"

  "When Acnologia tried to destroy you, I cast a spell to protect each one of you. However, this monster devastated the island before I could finish the spell. For that reason, we are now in another dimension."

  "What!? You're kidding, right?" To prove it, Mavis suddenly turned her hand, making that both her and Lucy floated on the air. "What the...?"

  Not having time to finish, Lucy saw sent to the sky. When Lucy opened her eyes, she saw a strange sight: There was nothing there.

  Beyond the island of Tenro, there was an infinite expanse of blue as far as the eye could see. In fact, the island was floating.

  "But... But, where are we?"

  "In another dimension," Mavis replied. "Unfortunately, that wasn't written to happen, just as your friends' immobility wasn't."

  "Huh!? But… in that case, why am I not frozen too?"

  "Your spirits saved you!" Mavis revealed to Lucy. "In an effort to save you, they were able to transport you into the spirit world for a short amount of time, and then put you back here. Thanks to that, you avoided the worst."

  "But... What about my friends? Can you do something for them?"

  "Unfortunately I can't!" Mavis confessed, lowering her gaze. "They're doomed to stay that way for all the eternity!" Listening to this, Lucy fell over her knees and hit the ground with her fist, crying.

  "Why? Why!? If only... If only I could have defeated that bastard dragon, they... "

  "But there could be a way to save them!"

  "Huh?" Said Lucy, turning her gaze to her "How !?"

  "The Fairy's Sphere should be able to fix it. "

  "The what ? "

  "One of Fairy Tail's sacred relics and a mighty weapon. Being by far the most powerful of the weapons, it was decided that it couldn't fall at the hands of evil wizards. If I had the Fairy's Sphere in my possession, I could free your friends and send you back home."

  "Is it... Is it true? And where is this sphere?"

  "Far away from here, being part of a legendary treasure: The One Piece!"

  "The what?"

  "A treasure which is located on another dimension. By the fact of being impossible to find, the legends say that the Fairy's Sphere is placed with it."

  "Treasure... from another dimension!? But how am I supposed to find it out?"

  "I can take you to that dimension, as well as find one who can lead you to him! It's a guy named Monkey D. Luffy, a man whose dream is to become the King of Pirates!"

  "King of pirates?"

  "Yes! In my opinion, he has all the needed to find the One Piece and else. Help him and you'll find the Fairy's Sphere!"

  "Wait! Aren't you coming with me?"

  "Right now, it is impossible for me to leave the island! If I leave this dimension, your friends will disappear and I don't know what could happen to them." Mavis said. "You are their only hope. Are you ready to help them?"

  Observing at the frozen bodies of her friends Lucy finally got up and said.

  "If I'm the only one who can save them, of course, I am! Where is him and how will I recognize him?"

  "All I can tell you is that he wears a straw hat on his head. But don't worry, I'll try to move you as close to him as I can! Are you ready?"

  "Yes." Lucy answered her immediately.

  Mavis smiled seeing Lucy's eyes overflowing with confidence, in spite of the strange mission that had just been commanded to her, and said.

  "You deserve your place at Fairy Tail!" Mavis turned Lucy's body into a multitude of particles of light, going straight up to the sky.

  "Good luck, Lucy. "
