How long has it been since I became a driver the first time I saw augustine she was stunning the truth I couldn't compare to her I had to start from scratch I wanted to make her understand that everything she did was wrong and now that I finally made her understand she is dead.
8 Hours earlier
Issei: *woke up* mm mm, the girls aren't here hey draig what's up
Draig: buddy remember they are in the underworld, they stayed there to prevent an attack from the DUP.
Issei: that's right, with everything that's happened I forgot about those things.
Draig: You look strange
Issei: suddenly it's the weather *he goes to the window* I don't like the weather today.
You can see how some gray clouds surround the city of kuo and some small lightning bolts are formed
Draig: this weather is strange for this time of the year and why didn't you go with the girls?
Issei: I wanted to stay here the demons protect the underworld, the angels the sky and the fallen protect both sides no one protects the human world besides the DUP's priority is the pieces of the lightning sphere if they are anywhere it's here.
Draig: what if the DUP tries to keep you away and attacks the underworld or heaven?
Issei: they can take care of it, besides I have to rest, said the girls.
Draig: by the way eugene isn't on either side where you sent him.
Issei: to look for something in a distant city, something tells me that this should be my last resort.
Draig: partner, what are you going to do now?
Issei: for the time being as long as augustine and black don't show up and rest, by the way how do I access that transformation I used with zet?
Draig: I don't know, did you have any feelings in mind during the fight?
Issei: better forget it
Draig: partner ?
Issei: it's better to forget about that transformation for now I'm going for a walk *dresses up and goes out the window* if it's better to leave that transformation behind nothing happened
Draig: partner what will you do when you find augustine ?
Issei: something i should have done a long time ago.
The earth starts to shake
Issei: But what's happening?
Civilians: ah help, please, what's going on?
You can see how the street transforms into a path of floating rocks.
Draig: mate, this is it
Issei: Yes, only one person can do this.
Augustine: hello issei, come and get me.
Issei: augustine *starts to run*.
Draig: mate this is different from all the times i feel a powerful energy you have to be careful
Issei: yeah I know I feel that energy too but the civilians could get hurt if I don't act fast.
Draig: but don't you care if they know who you are?
Issei: in the time you were sealed I defeated the DUP, free drivers basically the whole government knows me only as Delsin.
Draig: well remember what I told you
Issei: yes I know
Augustine: you're finally here
Issei. it doesn't have to be like this.
Augustine: *laughed* it doesn't have to be like this *concrete frog*.
Draig: buddy watch out
Issei: *dodges it
Augustine: you took everything from me, the support, the trust and the drivers I wanted to protect.
Issei: I didn't take anything from you Augustine you lost that all by yourself.
Augustine: shut up! *concrete destruction*
Issei: ahhh *spits blood*.
Augustine: to recover everything I lost I must kill you.
Issei: what the hell that didn't feel like one of your usual attacks.
Augustine: surprised *raises his hand and shows a fragment*
Issei: that's it
Augustine: one of the fragments of the lightning sphere even if it's not the whole sphere its fragments contain a great latent power.
Issei: draig
Draig: of course partner Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost Boost
Issei: *cybernetic angelic fall* ahhhh
Issei: *cybernetic angelic fall* ahhhh
Issei: it worked
Augustine: it's amazing how weak you are
Issei: it can't be, it doesn't have a scratch on it.
Augustine: now with this power I'm going to tear you apart part by part.
Issei: Damn with the sphere piece it's stronger and now more destructive than ever.
Draig: partner come on
Issei: yeah, just like in the old days Balance Breaker Boosted Gear Scale mail
Augustine: so you've got some tricks up your sleeve.
Issei: now I can use my driver and dragon powers at the same time I can defend myself from their attacks.
Augustine: silence ahhh
Multiple energy shocks, blows and waves spread around the place.
Augustine: come on what else do you want to take from me
Issei: I told you I didn't take anything from you *Dragon Shot*, *Smoke Shot*, *Neon Shot* and *Digital Missile*.
Augustine: it's amazing you can use all your powers at once, it allows you to break my concrete form but *raises hand and rebuilds his form* we are surrounded by ground no matter how many you destroy it will come back again and again.
Issei: damn we have to break his defense with a direct hit.
Draig: partner there's something we haven't tried for a long time.
Issei: you mean ah
Draig: that used up all your energy but now with your driver powers you will be able to move even after you do that.
Issei: let's do it
Augustine: what are you talking about *concrete dodger*?
Issei: *dodges it* now an adventure
Draig: come on partner
Issei: yeah *Illegal Move Trident* Issei: *Illegal Move Trident* Issei: *Illegal Move Trident*
Issei: *Disintegrator Bishop Cannon* Issei: *Disintegrator Cannon
Issei: *Disintegrator Bishop Cannon* Issei: *Disintegrator Bishop Cannon*
Augustine: what the hell
Issei: *Welsh Sonic Boost Knight* ah take this* *hits it*
Augustine: *spits blood* damn I'm not going to lose to you again *concrete earthquake*
Issei: I'm not done yet *Welsh Draconic Rook*.
Augustine: damn why you, why do you always take everything from me?
Issei: I haven't taken anything from you, I've told you many times those drivers that you locked up to protect them didn't want to live like this *Cardinal Crimson Queen*.
Issei: I haven't taken anything from you, I've told you many times those drivers that you locked up to protect them didn't want to live like that *Cardinal Crimson Queen* *Cardinal Crimson Queen*.
Augustine: I loved my people, I locked them up to protect them, don't you understand?
Issei: that wasn't love, that was oppression you hurt them and you yourself led them astray. that's something I'll make you understand *Longinus Smasher*.
Augustine: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Issei: *deactivates his armor* I can actually stand up but it's very tiring *sigh agitatedly*.
Augustine: I'm not done yet
Issei: yes it's time for you to listen *smoke whip*.
Augustine can be seen lying on the floor in a heap on the floor.
Augustine: looks like I lost, go ahead and finish me.
Issei: you know what I said is true.
Augustine: how can you be so sure
Issei: the world is changing, the people are changing, I freed the drivers, I started a new era and the society has accepted them.
Augustine: how do you know that locking them up for their protection was not the best thing to do?
Issei: because I met the girl you locked up a long time ago, the first one you betrayed Celia.
Augustine: *shocked* and w-what did she tell you...
Issei: well i didn't talk to her directly but she showed me what she thought *approaches augustine*.
Augustine: show me
Issei: well *she shakes augustine's hand, reaching into her mind and showing her what she saw*.
Augustine: Celia because
Issei: you see, but don't blame yourself it was also my fault in all these years I haven't found her nor do I know what she is doing but when I do I will fix that mistake.
Augustine: you're right what I did wasn't right, it was all my fault if I hadn't treated them like monsters none of this would have happened.
Issei: Augustine..
Augustine: *gets up* it was a big mistake to help black, you are part of another universe.
Issei: that doesn't matter, what matters is what you do from now on.
Augustine: I must make amends for everything I did to start with I will give you the piece of the lightning sphere without it black ....
Black: you disappoint me Augustine
Augustine: black..
Issei: black damn you
Black: you get out of here will you *smashes issei with his chain sending him flying* poor thing so weak
Issei: I can't move *bleeding*.
Black: you are disappointing augustine, you failed and worst of all you betray me.
Issei: what are you going to do black
Black: the same thing that happened to the Augustine of my universe.
Augustine: please don't, don't do it!
Black: first things first *grabs the piece* thanks at least for this your death will be quick. i have in my hands the last of the pieces for the lightning sphere thanks augustine
Augustine: no please, don't... *crying*.
Black: bye
Issei: noooooooooo !
Augustine: save them all issei ... *disintegrates*
Black: cheer up, at least it was quick.
Issei: damn
Black: the next time we meet it will be on the battlefield and I'll open up and become a true god, see you later issei *disappears in smoke*.
Issei: *falls to the ground* dammit
Draig: partner, come on, hang in there
Rias: issei !!!! *shouts*
Issei: rias... *faints*.
