Seventh Heaven

As Michael and Gabriel reached Seventh Heaven, he couldn't help but notice that the power coming from the Chair in the center of the floor was a lot higher than normal, enough to where even he could feel its power output was close to what some would consider smothering.

The 'chair' was the main control point for the System that the Biblical God had created eons ago when he had created the Angels and ever since Michael had taken over from his Father after his death, he was the only one that could control the system much to the other Seraphs annoyance sometimes but they also understood the reasoning behind it.

"There you are Michael. Maybe you can help us figure out what's going on here. One minute the System is fine and running normal and then the next it's power output started rising to where it is now." His brother Raphael said as they all made way for Michael to sit down at the chair.

"I do agree that it's weird of the System to act this way as I've never seen it push out so much power but what makes you think that something is going on?" Michael said, but before anyone could answer him, he got an unexpected response from the System. "Hold up. I'm getting something here."

"{Anomaly detected in the System.}

{Unique presence detected on Earth.}

{Unknown but faint possibility of a God-Tier Angelic power level or Sacred Gear registered.}

{Find the Red Dragon Emperor. The answers you seek can be found in him.}"

Michael could only lean back in the throne stunned at the words from the System. He had never before seen full sentences like this come from it though he and the other Seraphs had always thought it might have the ability to. They also had wondered what secrets their father might have left behind for someone to find or be activated at any given time.

Gabriel was the first to notice her brothers shocked expression come over his face as the other Seraphs were talking quietly amongst themselves trying to figure out what had happened. "Brother? What was it you found that has you stunned?" She asked, getting the attention of the rest of the Seraphs.

"We have an unknown presence that just popped up on Earth." He said, before telling them what was in the message. "Any thoughts?"

Raguel, the one that handled any security issues within Heaven stepped up and commented. While he was a calm man in most aspects, when it came to Heaven's security, he took it seriously. "This sounds to me like a new Sacred Gear has awakened as I've never heard of one that might be labeled as Godlike. But what would that have to do with a reference to the Boosted Gears wielder." He mentioned getting nods from everyone else before he had another thought. "Though that doesn't explain the first part of the message about someone with a high amount of Angelic power that isn't already known."

"That's true as their isn't a known Gear of that magnitude out there but it is possible something has happened where it was locked in the System until someone came around that could wield it to its highest potential. Or someone born from a Fallen and a human or even a Devil may have somehow gotten an untapped potential that the System was able to pick up?" Gabriel replied with her own thoughts and getting thoughtful nods from everyone as from what little they knew right now, it could be a logical explanation.

While Michael agreed with his sister, the thought about what had happened to Ascalon earlier and he couldn't get the feeling of the two being linked out of his mind. "While you may be right Gabriel there was another event that happened I learned right before you pulled me to this meeting." He said before explaining about the disappearance of Ascalon. "I can't get the feeling out of my mind that these two things are linked though I couldn't tell you how."

Sandalphon, one of the Ten Seraphs, and the one with the more laid-back demeanor, spoke up next with his own thoughts. "I agree that everything seems to point out that a new Sacred Gear has awoken or maybe someone has untapped powers like Gabriel said and I could see maybe Ascalon would go to them."

"I agree and can't argue against the fact that Ascalon going missing right as this happened makes a lot of sense that it would have gone to the Boosted Gears wielder but we won't know until we either find him or her or they activate the sword and its signature gives it away." Uriel, one of the Four Great Seraph said.

"Everyone here has had valid points, and this is something we should look more into without pushing our luck. Let's head down to Sixth Heaven and hash out how we will go about finding the Boosted Gears current wielder." Michael decided, getting nods from everyone else before they left the floor.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Unknown to any of them though was that one more message popped up after Michael left the chair.

"{Requirements met.}

{Activating backup plan: Codename Gottheit.}"

Meanwhile

Kuoh. Hyoudou residence

As Issei was eating breakfast, his mother asked him about his plans for the day. "Are you going to see Irina today? Don't forget they'll be moving soon to England."

'Oh Shit! I got sent back to this point in my life! Thankfully my mother reminded me as I might have forgotten about it.' He thought getting a comment from DDraig.

'[You're right partner, though maybe this time we can change things around where what happened in the last timeline doesn't happen again.]' DDraig commented, before continuing his thought process before Issei could question what he meant.

'[We know they had to leave since her fathers an exorcist and also that Irina will be trained to be one. One idea that might help us in the future, if nothing else at the Kokabiel fight, is what if we were to let him know you know about the supernatural. Who knows where that might lead us in this timeline as well as help down the line like I said.]'

'It's not a bad idea if you ask me, though I think we should keep me out of the picture for now whenever it gets brought up until a situation calls for it. That way we don't risk something happening before we're ready for it.' Red said, agreeing with DDraig on the idea as it was possible that Touji knowing could help them in some way or other down the line.

'It's worth a shot. We could even ask if he would let my parents know about the supernatural before they leave.' Issei thought, getting the feeling of agreement from the two dragons as Issei finished breakfast with his family, happy to see them alive once more after having lost them in the future timeline, before going and finishing getting dressed to play with Irina.

As the two kids were playing, Issei couldn't help but once again be glad that he was once again able to see Irina since he had lost her in the previous timeline and it was fun to just have some fun, though he could also tell that she was sad about the upcoming time when she had to leave.

"Iri," Issei said, using his nickname for her to get her attention. "Don't be sad that we won't see each other after a few more days! I promise you we'll see each other again."

"But how can you be so sure about it?" Irina said, pouting as she knew she would miss days like this while in England.

"I don't know what it is exactly, but I've got this feeling that we will meet again and who knows, it may be soon." He said, thinking about his upcoming talk with her father as he couldn't predict how that would affect the timeline he knew on if they might meet sooner than in canon, as he walked up to her to both hug and kiss her to her shock. "That was for the kiss you gave me in my sleep. We'll be fine, I promise you. Pinky promise." He finished, sticking out his pinkie to seal the deal.

"H-how did you know about that? I was positive you were asleep."

"I was right before you did it but I somehow woke up right after you got up and was thinking of scaring you at first until you kissed me and then I was too stunned to do anything." He commented while rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment. He actually wasn't awake at the time and heard about it later, but he couldn't exactly explain that right now.

"Mou, why'd you have to do that to me." She said hitting him in the chest lightly before giving him a hug and joining her pinky with his. "Fine, I'll trust you for now."

"Good then lets get back to playing some." He replied, kissing her once more before they got back to having fun.

Scene Skip

As they got back to Irina's house after playing, they would have normally split up but Issei said he needed to ask her father something real quick in private.

Once the two of them got in Touji's office, Touji asked what he wanted to talk about. "How can I help you Issei."

Steeling himself, not sure how this would go honestly, Issei got right to the point. "I honestly don't know how to do this so I figure I'll just get it out there now; I know about the supernatural." He said, stunning Touji as he wasn't expecting it.

"Well that certainly is surprising and not something I was expecting. How did you figure anything out."

"I can't explain much as I was sworn to secrecy for now, but I learned the other day that I am this generations Red Dragon Emperor." He said before calling out the Gear to prove his point. As Issei hadn't seen it yet since the travel, he got a quick glance at it and noticed it looked like the last time he'd seen it, just smaller to fit his child frame. "DDraig and me talked some after I awakened it and he mentioned that he thought he sensed a presence off of you that was supernatural in origin and so we decided to let you know before you left as who knows how that might help me in the future or me be able to help you."

Touji definitely was surprised at what he had just learned. Not only was his daughters best friend now aware of the supernatural, but he was the wielder of one of the strongest known Sacred Gears. "Well, color me surprised. I am thankful though you let me know as I know how much you mean to Irina as well as me and my wife." He said, laughing at how Issei blushed at that. "Is there anything I can do for you maybe before we leave."

Issei couldn't help but be thankful he had asked that. "If you would, I do have one request. Can you let my parents know about the supernatural? I feel like you would be able to do a better job than I would since I just recently learned about the supernatural but it feels like the right move to me."

Thinking about it for a minute, Touji couldn't think of anything wrong with the request. Issei's parents did know that he worked for the church but they didn't know anything, as far as he was aware, about the supernatural. "I can do that for you as it's a simple request." He said before the two of them finished hashing out what this might mean for Issei and his future.
