A Dragon's Family(Rewriting) by Pandora's Reader

Anime X-overs & High School DxD/ハイスクールD×D Xover Rated: M, English, Family & Adventure, OC, Rias G., T. Koneko, S. Irina, Words: 187k+, Favs: 175, Follows: 180, Published: Oct 25, 2021 Updated: Nov 17, 2021

22Chapter 20: It's weird, but home's nice

AN - I've realized an issue. I've made Tara and Martha, and the rest of the cast by extension too strong. The Youth Devil's Gathering? Aside from Sairaorg, they'll steamroll through it. Tara and Martha would just be spectators. Even Diodora would just roll over and die from either peerage. Sona and her peerage MIGHT struggle, but they'd probably do well. The Ragnarok arc? 'Oh hey Loki, you use magic? Nakagami armor and Sage dragon say fuck you.' Even if Issei went to the Kyoto trip on his own, he'd be fine since Ddraig could just project himself and back Issei up.

Nothing short of the real final boss of DxD would really be an issue for the twins. The idea i have is to just skip to Ragnarok, and find a place to end this and make it a book series later. I'd be in my own territory since i'm saying fuck the Trihexia, and doing my own story away from DxD and Persona canon. Even with Re:Creator's content, with extra creations because it'd be easy to just add in other anime characters from using the end of P5 events, i'd save it for the next book. I need an actual roadmap and pacing. I might try a 2nd different story to get myself used to proper pacing and all that jazz.

{Tara's POV}

Flying was always nice. I've had that thought everytime i did it, but it never got old to me. The girls enjoyed it, even though all of them, except Irina, could fly themselves. We could've even teleported home, but the scenic route won out. We made conversation, mostly about how Akira would deal with Tae, how long it'd take for Rias and Sona to get matched in the Youth Devil's Gathering, and how long it'd take for Sairaorg to beat the shit out of the other participants. We knew how strong Rias and Sona's peerages were, but Sairaorg and his peerage were on another level. Rias agreed with me that she might not be on Sairaorg's level, but we all knew she was maybe 2-3 levels off. Sona was pretty much the same as Rias in that regard, but we all knew they wouldn't have any issue with anyone that wasn't each other or Sairaorg.

The trip back was nice, and we made it back to Kuoh in the same time it took us to leave. I was only gone for a month, but i did miss the place. It was home after all. I flew us towards our bigger house, and landed on the roof, where everyone was waiting for us. Well, everyone except the super loli. Even the old man was there, he was chibified, but still there. My girls got off, grabbed all their luggage, and i changed back. I looked at the members of my hoard and family, and i smiled. "We're homeeee!" And everyone was happy. Martha came over and gave me a quick hug, Rias and Koneko went back to their peerage, Irina ran over to mom and Asia, and just started talking about the vacation, and Kuroka stayed next to me. She'd never really met everyone before, so this was new to her.

After Martha broke off the hug, and went to 'get Irina's surprise,' i turned to Kuroka. "You can join in you know. They won't bite... Unless you ask Akeno too, she'd definitely bite you if you wanted it." Kuroka still looked a bit apprehensive, but Koneko came back over and dragged her to them. Issei was a little wary of her, she did punch him through a wall after all, but he'd probably warm up to her eventually. We all started to head down to the living room, but when i got in the middle of everyone, i was spontaneously hugged. I looked to who it was, and i saw Asia by my side, burying her head into my side. I didn't even get to ask before my other side was occupied by Akeno. That just started the rest of the hugs, and i was confused until Martha told me why. "They all agreed to do this after they found out about our past. I already went through this so it's your turn now."

Oh yeah, they did find out after all... Oh well, free hugs for me then. {And she may never admit it, but Tsubasa was very emotional after the reveal. She matched Asia in sadness, and Akeno followed after her. It was... Endearing, to see how much they all cared.} {Huh. Thanks for letting me know.} {Whatever. Just make sure you help me put Ddraig in his place later.} {I'd never forget about that.} After that, i zoned back into the hugs. After Asia and Akeno were done, Tsubasa came up and just brought me into a big hug instead of the side hugs the other two gave me. Even though it was a 'welcome back' hug, with a happy smile on her face, i could see a small bit of worry and relief in her eyes. Tsubasa broke off a bit after, and then the rest of the girls came in for their hugs. I took it all in, and we all went downstairs together.

Being back home was a great thing. Though i did get into it with the old man after i got to really look at him. I just couldn't keep myself from laughing at his Corgi sized body. "Oh this is fucking great! Why did no one send me chibi Ddraig pictures?! This would've made whatever day i saw them fucking amazing." The little old man scoffed at me, and it almost made me laugh harder. [It was meant as a surprise. But still, i could beat you down even in this form hatchling.] "Fucking try it Toto. I'll beat your ass back to Kansas." [I'll happily beat respect for your elders into you.] "Then let's go!" I got a mental and physical whack to the back of my head after that. We were all in the living room and everyone was just taking in me fighting with a VERY small Ddraig in with amusement on their faces. "If your done with the pissing contest, i'm going to be giving Irina her present now. It'd be just wonderful if you can wait 5 minutes."

I grunted at my sister, and sat down by the counter in my usual seat, and Ddraig went over to Issei. Natsu was with mom, and Kuroka was obviously with Koneko, and we were all seated in our usual places. I watched as Martha brought out a suitcase, and opened it. Inside, i saw 8 glowing orbs. A golden orb in the middle, and 4 others on either side. There was a red one, a silver one, a sea blue one and a brown one on the left side. The right had a ice blue one, a white one, a black one and a metallic silver one. We were all looking, and i realized no one seemed to know what they were. So she didn't tell them either, interesting. I looked at them, and then Martha picked up the golden one and threw it at me! I was caught off guard, but i reflexively caught it. But when i did, the thing went INTO my hand, and i just blinked and watched as it did. When the thing was done, i didn't feel any different, so i just looked at Martha.

"Was that supposed to do something?" "No. Well, not to increase your strength." "Huh?" "Just watch." Then she turned to Irina. "Irina. Out of Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Ice, Light, Dark and Iron, what would you choose to be your main element?" Huh? What did tha...- {You didn't.} I saw her grin when i sent that. {Oh i did.} I could only stare at her, mouth open and eyes wide at that confirmation. The rest of the house saw my reaction, and i think only Rias and Irina themselves understood the implications. Rias and Irina both loved to watch Fairy Tail, either with me or each other. So hearing Martha name off Dragon-Slayer elements, with corresponding orbs just made them stare. The rest of the house didn't get it, but they just watched on as we looked shocked. "I-i... I don-... I mean... Water?" Of course she chose water. She loved Juvia, and her pining for Gray. Martha just smiled, and picked up the ocean blue orb, and threw it at her.

Irina saw it coming, and reached out for it. She caught it, and the process repeated itself. But unlike mine, Irina had a reaction to the orb merging with her. When the thing was in, we heard ripping, and we all saw these small blue dragon wings and tail go through her clothes. We all just looked at that, and then Irina passed out. Rias caught her, and we all just looked back to Martha. Normally, i would be worried, but i knew what she meant. I could feel Irina, tell where she was if i closed my eyes and focused, and i could tell how she was doing. I realized what that meant, and i was busy wrapping my head around that. Then Rias asked the question. "Martha-oneesan... What just happened? And what are those?" Martha smirked at Rias' question, and she gestured to the remaining orbs. "That my dear Rias, was Irina becoming a Dragon-Slayer. Specifically a Water-Dragon-Slayer. It was a project sparked by Tara, and one i managed to complete early thanks to my new abilities.

Irina has gained all that being a Dragon-Slayer entails, and then some. Now normally, a Dragon-Slayer is trained for years to be able to work their magic. But my creations, the 'Dragon Seeds' we've named them, will passively induce those effects in Irina, and with months maybe years of training, Irina will gain access to a dragon form. But there's more. As of now, Irina will become more then a Dragon-Slayer. She will become a dragon, just as Tara, Ddraig and I are. Her wings and tail are small, but with training, dedicated training, and time, they will grow corresponding to how well Irina masters her powers." Holy shit. I trusted Martha, that was obvious, but she solved my biggest worry. "I... I won't have to bury her?" Everyone turned to me when i said that, but i was too focused on staring at Irina's tiny wings and tail to care. I could feel Martha's understanding over our link, and i saw her gently smile at me from the corner of my eyes.

"Unless something goes horribly wrong and the rest of us are dead, then no. You will not be burying her Tara." The relief that flooded through me was intoxicating. I'd have to get one to Futaba later. I wouldn't be burying any daughter of mine. From there, a bunch of things happened. I turned into a bolt of lightning, and pulled Martha into the biggest hug i could manage, and just sent my thankfulness over our link as i did. Irina woke up a few minutes later, learned the news, and we all partied. It was nice. I eventually met Ophis, who was wearing earmuffs that Martha told me were enchanted to block out any noise she didn't want to hear, and i almost lost it. The super loli turned to me when she saw me, and just blinked. "Hatchling." That was all she said, and then left after Martha handed her a tray of brownies and a glass of milk. I was dazed for a bit, but got over it a while later. An hour after our celebration, and we were in the training grounds, and i was looking at a bus sized Ddraig. Everyone else were over at the sidelines, and me and the old man were just staring the other down.

[Bwahaha! it's time to show you respect hatchling!] I smirked at the confidant old dragon in front of me, and got ready. 'Requip! Heaven's Wheel Armor!' The old man seemed interested at this, since they all saw my armors after i had Martha put the enchantments i asked for on them and on my weapons, but only Martha, Rias and Irina knew what they did. I looked at the old man, and we took to the sky. "Prepare to die old man!" He laughed at that, and our match started. I brought out my lightning axe, and pushed magic into my armor as i flew towards him. Ddraig just hovered there, amused and curious about what i'd do, and i wanted to make sure he took this a little seriously. "Blumenblatt!" And they all watched as the sky began to be blotted out by hundreds to thousands of blades. I think i heard Kiba grumble, but oh well. "Dance, my swords!" And they rained down.

Ddraig grinned at that, and charged to meet me and my sea of swords head on. [Make it fun hatchling!] We collided with each other, and he used his claws to block my axe. We pushed against the other, neither wanting to loose the clash, and i kicked out at the old man. He blocked my kick with his other arm, and swiped his head at me, but that failed as the first wave of my swords came in. I aimed them towards his side, but Ddraig used his tail to deflect or block some of them, while the ones that did make it through only leave scratches against his scales. We both saw how little damage they did, and Ddraig laughed at it. His laugh at my first wave annoyed me, so i swung my axe out and aimed at his wrist. Dragon or not, dealing with a damaged if not broken wrist would always be a pain in the ass. The old man noticed that, and just swung his fast at me, and it destroyed my weapon.

I backed up and clicked my tongue at him. I sent out another wave of blades, and thought about my options. Armor and weapon wise, i could do a lot, magic and martial arts wise, i was limited. I had an idea of mixing them, but i'd go into it a bit later. Ddraig saw my wave, and laughed as he flew into it. Even if he did, i still had a thousand others i could either make or still had. I wanted to surprise the old man, and i had an idea. I grinned as i thought of it, and i set it up. I pushed more magic into my armor, creating more blades, and making them all bunch up into sections. The old man made his way through my wave, and paused as he saw not only more swords, but them being covered in lightning. I grinned as i saw his eyes widen, and shout [Boost!] And i shouted after he boosted. 'Titania special! Lightning Dragon's Gates of Babylon!' And my blades cut through the air. Thousands of lightning coated blades shot towards Ddraig at all angles, and he either defended against them, avoided them by changing size, or destroyed them with his arms or tail.

I heard him boost another time, and i smiled. He was being cut into, no big wounds, just a fuck-ton of small ones. The boost raised his defense so they were doing less now, so i had to go bigger. I dropped to the ground, and requipped again. 'Requip! Giant's Armor!' I found out i could keep the swords i made and still control them even if i didn't have my 'Heaven's Wheel' set on, i just couldn't make more. I brought out the spear that came with the set, and i reared my arm back as i coated myself and my spear in lightning. Ddraig heard me swap armor, and i saw him look my way. Our eyes met, and i made sure the rest of the swords aiming at him put on the pressure as i grinned. Ddraig knew something was going to happen, and started to charge after me, ignoring the swords attacking him, and i cursed. He would get here too fast, so i had to change plans. 'Requip! Lightning Empress Armor!' As soon as my set was brought out, i coated myself in lightning, and avoided the old mans charge. He landed on the ground, and i fell back and spun my spear. Ddraig saw what i was doing, and decided to grow to half his full size and spread his wings to deal with whatever swords were attacking him.

At that point, i was down to a few hundred and the training grounds were littered with shattered blades. I sent the last of the blades at him, but he destroyed them as he charged towards me. I avoided all of his attacks, and he growled in annoyance. [Dragons don't run hatchling! Stay still!] "I'm tactically repositioning!" Ddraig didn't seem to like my answer, and boosted again. He almost hit me the moment he did, and i had to send out my attack to give me some time. 'Lightning Dragon Empress' Drake!' Just like in the desert, a drake of lightning shot out of my spear as i stopped spinning it, and Ddraig charged towards it. They met with an explosion, and i brought out my wings to take to the sky. I saw the dust cloud shift, and the old man was coming towards me. I wasn't fast enough to dodge, so i braced for the dragon head about to hit me. I defended myself, but i felt and heard my arms snap as i flew back. I looked at them, and saw some bones sticking out, great, just what i needed.

I shook off the pain, and decided i'd have to swap gears. The old man hit too hard, was too fast and too durable for me to just use most of my armors and magic in this form. So i transformed. I was smaller then the old man in my dragon form, but my magic would be able to hurt him. The old man could only use 1/20th of his full power now, or until Martha got better with the method she used to let the old man out, so i would need to exploit that as much as i could. His body was lacking his dragon core, but even so, he was more durable then i was, and he could only go up to 100 boosts, i knew that, so i had to use it. The old man saw me change forms, and roared out at me. I roared back, and coated myself in lightning. We flew towards each other, and had our heads down to meet in a vicious headbutt that made me feel like i dove into a mountain. I forced my arms to move, and the old man and i were then locked into it. We tried to crush the others hands, and i was unfortunately losing, so i charged up another attack. 'Lightning Dragon's Roar!' The old man knew what i was doing, and opened his maw in retaliation.

That's how we ended up in a point blank dragon roar vs breath off, and i was somehow winning it. The old man realized that too, and let me out of his grip, and struck me with a leg, making me lose focus on my roar for long enough to be hit by his breath. I was burning, but i didn't care. I was having more fun in this fight then i've had in a while, so i kept going. I charged back at the old man, burning in his flames and still wreathed in lightning, and i ran into his body head first. I hadn't heard him boost for a bit, so they might've run out, which made sense since my hit forced him back, and gave me an opening. 'Lightning Dragon's Sword Horn!' A point blank horn of pure lightning had to hurt, but Ddraig took it and boosted up twice. He grabbed me by the horns, and smashed his head into mine. I was sent reeling into the ground, and i was a little disoriented.

Even still, i could tell the old man was diving towards me, and i had to react. I turned into a bolt of lightning, and avoided his downward attack, but i crashed into a bunch of trees since i was still getting my act together from that headbutt. Ddraig knew it, so he capitalized by opening his maw, and aiming another breath at me. I knew i could maybe win that, so i responded it kind. 'Lightening Dragon's Roar!' Our attacks met again, and we could see how it was going. My roar was winning again, but Ddraig was physically coming towards me and pushing with his breath. I tried thinking about my options, nothing short of my 'Nakagami' or 'Armadura Fairy' armors would work, so i had to think it over before he got to me. My 'Nakagami' armor wouldn't stop his boosts and i might run out of steam with it from the drain, but the blade would give me the chance to hurt him. I could easily use the blade and summon it with my 'Armadura' armor set... But i'd only get one shot with it. I'd need to make a moment to use it before the old man could get another hit on me.

With that decided, i put more power into my roar, and aimed it at his feet as i avoided his breath. The explosion of dust caught the old man by surprise, and it gave me the chance i needed. I flew up to the sky, and changed back. 'Requip! Armadura Fairy Armor!' With my armor on and the blade from my 'Nakagami' set out, i harnessed as much energy as my armor allowed me to safely channel, and pumped in to my blade. I coated myself and my blade in lightning for extra measure, and i raised my blade. Ddraig saw what i was doing, and shouted [Boost! 10x] and came barreling towards me. We both saw the look in the others eyes, and knew this would end the spar. We roared at the other, and i brought my blade down as Ddraig aimed his fist up to meet it. The clash ended up in a massive explosion that blasted the both of us away from the other, and even damaged the mountain behind us. I didn't really notice that since i was too busy falling from the sky and disoriented beyond belief.

I crashed into the ground, and just decided to lay there. I changed into my 'Heart Kreuz Armor' cape and all, and just laid there. {Scale of 1-10, how much pain are you in?} I had to think about that. I was pretty sure my legs were shot, at least one arm was broken, something inside me snapped, and it hurt to breath, but i'd live. Didn't mean it didn't fucking hurt. {Yes.} {Ah... I'll be right there then.} And then she teleported next to me. My sister crouched down, and started to heal me with one hand and made me lightning in another. 10 minutes of that later, and i'm back in peak condition. "There you go. Now, come help me blast Ddraig into next year." I grinned at that, and we both transformed. I had to take a second to get over my jealousy at Martha's fully grown anime version dragon form, and just flew with her. "It's still bullshit."

She snorted at me. "It's acceptable and very nice bullshit thank you very much." I huffed at her, and we flew to where everyone else was. The old man was getting healed by Asia, but they all turned to us when they saw us fly in. Ddraig looked at me, and starting laughing heartily. [You did good hatchling! Obviously not good enough, but i still felt that last hit.] Oh i was so going to make him eat dirt with Martha. "I'll get you eventually old man. I'll just need to wait my turn." That surprised him, and he now seemed to be wondering why Martha and i hadn't turned back. I looked over to my sister, and we shared a look. We turned back to Ddraig, and Martha pointed to the training grounds, as destroyed as they were, and she grinned viciously at him. He blinked, look between us and the grounds, and laughed. {His laugh is starting to piss me off.} {This is something i've grown to agree with after i became a dragon.} {We're so breaking at least one of his horns right?} {Oh definitely.}

After Asia finished healing up Ddraig, he flew back over to the grounds, and we flew over after him. When we were in place, Martha spoke. "I have better things to do today, so be sure to stay still. Wouldn't want to miss and destroy too much now would we Ddraig?" The old man raised a brow at that, and hummed. [Hmm. Alright, hit me with your best shot hatchlings!] Martha smiled, and started BUFFING US. 'Enchant - Arms, Magic, penetration.' I felt my power soar, and i grinned a VERY feral grin. Ddraig saw that, and immediately boosted 10x. {With me now Tara.} {Got it!} We used our link to sync up our feelings, and both focused on beating the shit out of the old man. We opened our maws, and i felt our magic resonate. A scarlet and gold magic circle started to crackle and form under us, and Ddraig froze. [Oh shit. Boost 90x!] The magic circle grew and our attack was ready. We poured all the magic we had inside of us, and we roared.

'Unison Raid! Wrath of the Dragon Queens!' Our roars shot out of our maws, and they combined into a red gold beam of pure power. Ddraig braced himself for it, used his wings to shield himself, and then the Unison Raid hit. He was engulfed in an explosion close to a fucking little boy, and the winds and noise exploded in every direction. Thank fuck for dragon constitution, and the defensive wards Martha has set up, otherwise everyone would've been fucked. The damn forest was GONE. When the dust cleared, we saw Ddraig. The old man had scales falling off left and right, his wings were frayed and we could see passed them to his body. The rest of his scales were at the very least cracked, he had this big portion of his underbelly burned and smoking, and his horns were chipped. We both clicked our tongues at the relatively intact horns, and watched the old man land. [Amazing! Truly amazing! I haven't felt such a hit since i and Albion's glory days!]

If he wasn't at a fraction of his true power, i'd be more proud of that, but we hurt him enough to feel better at least. Martha huffed, and i thought i heard her mutter 'I need the meteors' and i almost broke my neck with how fast i looked to her. "We are not dropping meteors on Japan!" Ddraig stopped his laughing, and everyone else froze when they heard that. Uhh... Did they not know what she had planned? I looked up to Martha's eyes, and she just clicked her tongue. "MARTHA MARIA SAKURA! WHAT DOES SHE MEAN METEORS?!" Mom was about to lose it, and Martha took one look at her, and just turned back to me. "I have experiments and other things of great importance to do." And then she changed back and teleported away. {NO FUCKING WAY! GET BACK HERE BITCH!} {Martha Sakura is currently occupied, leave a message after the tone. Beep.} {I'm going to strangle you.} She didn't reply.

Ddraig just went back to laughing, and looking forward to being bombarded by meteors for some reason, weird ass old man. Mom snapped her attention to me, and i knew i would be forced to explain. Rias and Irina knew what a Deus-sama was, but they seemed to need time to process the fact Martha could and would drop them on Ddraig. The rest of the peerages were just standing there frozen, except Kiba, he was looking at the remains of my swords, and things went from there. I had to answer mom about Martha's plan to drop space rocks of mass destruction on Ddraig, which made her break out the good wine, and Kiba ended up asking me for spars with just swords, since i could actually do that now and help him get batter at too.

Tomoe ended up wanting to join, and we agreed. She dragged Xenovia into it, they somehow became friends over the break, i had no idea how. Akeno dragged Rias somewhere after the fight, and i refused to let my mind think of why. Kuroka spent time with Koneko, and Gasper, since he lived here too, he just stayed in his room. I reminded Koneko to send pictures of Gasper to Futaba, since i'd be busy. Tsubasa asked me for more martial arts spars, which i agreed to do after the knights were done with me. Irina and Issei went off to go on a date, and the rest of the house went on with their day. It was weird. I got used to the thieves needing days to get themselves used to whatever it was they learned, but it just took an hour at most to get used to it. It was nice. Then i found out Saji and Ruruko became a thing, and that Kiba and Tsubaki became a thing too. And those announcements made me trip. Why they waited to tell me, i didn't know, but Tsubasa looked far too smug after she told me.

I made sure to suplex her into the ground for that. My spar with the knights was fun. I used my 'Clear Heart' set, with the swords that came with it, and fought Kiba and Yura. Xenovia waited for her own turn, and we all enjoyed it. Kiba said he might be able to improve more now that i could actually use swords, and Yura was just her usual squirrel on heroin self. I actually got a little closer to Xenovia after the whole thing was over, and i was able to somewhat enjoy her presence. The rest of the day went by great, even if i almost had a heart attack when Ophis snuck up on me and asked me to get her something that was too high up for her. One near heart attack and a satisfied super loli later, i was just sitting in my bed, and going over all the merch we bought back in Akihabara. I sorted through what i wanted in my room, and what i would put in our merch floor.

After i finished that, i got everything set up, and wondered about what to do from there. I knew Futaba was gushing about Gasper, i checked the group chat made of me, her, Koneko, Kuroka, Rias and Irina while i was organizing things. We decided on waiting to see how long it'd take Irina to get used to wings and a tail that might pop out if she wasn't prepared, since Futaba didn't have Devils that could pull a Men In Black and erase memories if those were seen, before we brought that subject up to her. I could've gone to collect that series i was interested in, but i was still a little battle happy from earlier, and decided to bother mom for a spar. It had been a while since we last sparred, so mom agreed. I liked to use my 'Clear Heart' set when i wanted to use my [Renewal Taekwondo] since it made thinking about my moves easier, and ended up enjoying a fun evening fighting mom.

After we had our fun, we went back home, and we talked about our trips. Mom wanted to meet Futaba, so we'd probably go together on our next visit to Leblanc. I heard about our grandparents from her, even if Martha would tell me when i asked, and we just talked. The rest of the day was way more relaxing. I wasn't even phased when Akeno and Xenovia asked Irina if they could be part of Issei's harem... Which was a lie. I was very phased... It didn't make it better that Irina just said 'Ok' and moved on. I had to wrap my head around that moment, and i gave up after a minute and just went to bash my head into a wall. I went wrong with her somewhere. I knew i should've trained her when we were still kids. Rias consoled me, and Koneko tried too as well, but i was just dazed for the rest of that day. Eventually, it was night, and my girls all joined me in the usual pile. Thoughts of being home filled my mind, and i realized being home was weirder then it had any right to be, but home was nice.
