Chapter 11: the sphere is complete and the beast emerges
In complete darkness you could witness how a chestnut tree was surrounded by her.
Issei: What is this place?
???: you must stop him
Issei: who
???: you know very well
Issei: black
???: not the beast
Issei: the beast! but it was destroyed!
???: Yes, that's true, but that doesn't stop it from being born again.
Issei: I don't know if I can.
You are the heir of the will of cole, the one who defeated the beast!
Issei: Why, why me?
????: because you are the only one with the pure heart to forgive, besides if you can't overcome him you won't be able to face what's coming.
Issei: What's coming?
????: black, delsin or issei it doesn't matter how he got his name if not because he wants to become stronger he explained it to you the multiverse theory truth 12 universes 12 dimensions
Issei: what do you want to tell me?
Ask him what happened in his universe.
Issei: i just want this to end.
???: it will when you finish with the origin of everything.
Issei: who are you
Cole : the one who inherited your will to move on.
Issei: wait you are *wakes up* ha
Rias. issei *hugs him tightly* thank you, I'm so glad you're okay.
Issei: rias... *trying to get up*
Rias: issei!!! you have to rest.
Issei: I can't. He has the last piece of the lightning sphere.
Azazel: Stop!
Issei: Azazel
Azazel: Look at you, you're so exhausted and in that state, going to fight would be like a cow walking to the slaughterhouse!
Issei: *gets up* I still have to go.
Azazel: For revenge for everything he put you through.
Issei: not for justice, I'm going to save him from despair.
Azazel: ok but remember this, you are not alone.
At that moment, all of Issei's friends and colleagues enter the room.
Vali: Hyodo, you are my rival and I will become stronger if I go and help you fight those guys.
Saji: you are my friend and as such I will fight by your side.
Fetch/Eugene: you saved us and you are our partner we will be supporting you as always.
Asia: issei san we distrusted you when you were innocent and now we will support you more than ever.
Akeno: Yes, we will never doubt you again.
Kiba: You are my friend and partner and I always told you that I would fight by your side.
Sona/Tsubaki: We can't let someone so noble die.
Koneko: Issei senpai helped me in everything, it's my turn to help him.
Rossweisse: We won't leave anyone behind.
Ravel: We will always fight by your side
Xenovia: I will always fight by your side, you are the person who will have my children.
Irina: yes, you are someone precious to us.
Rias: I love you Issei and I'm willing to fight by your side always, I won't take no for an answer.
Issei: Rias, guys... thank you, I don't know how to thank you for this.
Azazel: Well, we have to come up with a plan, don't we?
Issei: I already have one in mind *smiles*.
Elsewhere
Black: how is he?
Scientist: Sir, it's stabilizing, the pieces are being put in place.
Black: I would expect nothing less from the best scientist in the DUP.
Scientist: in a few minutes it will be finished
Black: hurry up I know issei is on his way and I want to be ready for him when he comes *grins*.
Scientist: yes sir
Black: When I have the power of the sphere, I can face him. I was a god in my universe and he took my place and soon he will pay for it.
With Issei
Azazel: We have already located their base on the outskirts of the city, so what's the plan?
Issei: all of you will go away and face the DUP army while I go after black.
Vali: Hyodo how will you face him if he has come to absorb the sphere?
Issei: with this Eugene, you went to look for him, didn't you?
Eugene: Yes, here it is, in his hands you show a device.
Eugene: Yes, here it is, in his hands you show a device.
Rias: What is that?
Fetch: A device that was made to eliminate the virus driver and kill the ICR beast.
Everyone is surprised by what they just heard.
Eugene: Issei ordered me to find it and configure it with the driver gene 2. I honestly thought it was destroyed but I found it in an intact cemetery a few streets away from where Cole confronted the beast.
Issei: when black absorbs the powers in the sphere he will have gen 1 and 2 in his body, I asked Eugene to modify it to make it more powerful and effective.
Eugene: but you will need a great source of energy.
Issei: I'm counting on that
Eugene: Issei: It's suicide, you know that.
Everyone pays close attention to the last thing eugene says.
Rias: what do you mean
Eugene: by modifying it, it affects gene 1 and 2, we belong to gene 2, nobody from gene 1 remains alive, but gene 2 will be affected in the same way it affected gene 1, that is to say, killing it.
Issei: that's why I asked Eugene to modify it in a reduced area so that when you are fighting, it won't reach you and kill you.
Rias: Issei, are you saying that you are going on a suicide mission?
Issei: I'm sorry but there is no other option.
All the girls start crying
Azazel: You came back after such a long time, why do things have to end like this?
Elsewhere

Scientist: Stability 60%; 70%, 80%, 90% and 100% the sphere is complete sir.
Black: Yes, that is indeed the lightning sphere!

Black: I expected it, send everyone to counterattack.
Soldier: Yes sir
With issei
Fetch: *shooting at the soldiers* come on that's all they got
Rias: issei please be careful
Issei: yes...
With black
Black: let's try it
Scientist: sir I don't think it's the best ...
Black: *crossing the scientist's heart* shut up you moron you've served your purpose now you can die in peace.
Scientist: ah! it'll kill us all, you must understand! *falls to the ground and dies*
Black: if I get more power I don't care. *grabs the sphere and activates it* come on! I feel the power!!!
Vali: but what is that light
Rias: issei
Azazel: I have a very bad feeling about it!
Issei: *runs towards the light* i activate it
