03x12 - Any Time, For All Time!

[bunniefuu]

[ISSEI]

It's simple.

I just wanted to protect her.

[ISSEI]

The funny thing is,

it doesn't matter if

we have a contract.

I'm bound to her just the same.

The way she holds herself,

standing dignified and strong,

her long crimson hair

flowing in the breeze.

She is my master.

I will serve her.

[ISSEI]

My Ruin Princess.

[ISSEI]

Rias.

[AKENO] You are the only one

who can bring my friend back.

[ASIA]

You're fighting to free her!

[ISSEI yelps]

[ISSEI] I'd go to hell and

back to bring her home.

[AKENO] You'll have to

b*at her in combat.

[ISSEI] After everything

she's done for me,

I can't leave her behind.

Wake up!

[ISSEI groans]

But more importantly, I did it.

And your boobs get

to stay perfect.

Oh, Issei.

[RIAS]

Can I ask you something?

Be honest. Are you

glad that you met me?

[RIAS]

I'm very happy here.

[ISSEI groaning]

[RIAS] No matter what,

it's going to be okay.

I will do everything in

my power to protect you.

[ISSEI groaning]

[RIAS]

Issei.

You just saved my life.

Thank you.

[ISSEI]

Wake up!

Whatever! I like you and I

don't care what your name is!

I like you for who you are!

Rias, I... I love you.

[RIAS]

Next time, do your job well

whether there's a reward or not.

[ISSEI groaning]

[RIAS] Just a little spell to

strengthen your stamina.

[gasps]

Great job today.

I was very impressed.

[ISSEI]

Wake up.

[RIAS] My name is Rias

Gremory, and I'm a devil.

[ISSEI]

Rias, please!

[RIAS]

You're mine now.

Nice to meet you, Issei Hyodo.

[screaming]

[ISSEI]

Rias!

[ISSEI]

I understand.

I know what I've gotta do now.

But... I'm so afraid

of hurting you.

[ISSEI] I just wanted

to be your protector.

[ISSEI]

Not on my watch.

[ISSEI]

If I don't put a stop to this,

then Loki gets exactly

what he wants!

Please! Stop it, Rias!

Don't let him win!

You're better than that!

[gasps]

[ISSEI]

I won't let you down.

[ISSEI]

I'll do whatever it takes.

Nothing is gonna stop me.

[ISSEI]

I'll do whatever it takes.

Nothing is gonna stop me.

[ISSEI]

I'll always save you.

I'm your pawn, after all.

It's my job, right?

[ISSEI] That's right.

I am Rias Gremory's pawn!

[ISSEI]

Rias.

[ISSEI]

Wake up!

Issei?

[RIAS]

It's you!

Thank you. My darling.

You saved my life.

Rias! You're you again, right?

I was so worried!

[ISSEI]

assh*le.

You're gonna pay

for what you've done.

Using my body. Using my face!

You're goin' down.

[DDRAIG]

Boost!

[ISSEI]

Eat a bag of dicks!

[ISSEI gasps]

It morphed.

[ROSSWEISSE]

I'm relieved you're all safe.

I was super surprised

when you guys suddenly popped

out of thin air like that.

Us too. But Rias and Issei

are still stuck in there.

[AZAZEL]

Just like I thought.

Loki somehow managed to get his

hands on a powerful fragment

left over from Issei's

transformation.

So he has to fight

his exact duplicate?

Do you think Issei will

be able to b*at himself?

Don't know. For now,

all we can do is believe.

If there's anyone who can

b*at himself, it's Issei.

Let us pray for his success.

You're right.

[XENOVIA] You have to stay

strong for her, Issei.

[ASIA] I believe in you both.

Fight with all your heart.

[AKENO]

Come back to us.

[EVIL DRAGON roaring]

Oh, f*ck.

We've gotta do something

soon, or else we're toast.

[ISSEI]

Loki was able to take advantage

of my deepest, darkest

insecurities,

and found the same kind of

weakness in Rias's heart.

You got a plan?

[ISSEI]

Mh-hm.

[ISSEI]

That's right. I've got a plan.

I'm gonna get super pissed off

and totally flip out

on this jabroni!

No matter what happens,

I'll keep trying.

[DDRAIG]

Welsh Dragon. Balance Breaker!

[ISSEI] I straight-up

refuse to let her down!

So, uh, what's that?

Think of it as an evil piece

of downloadable content,

but still in beta.

I transferred those additions

to the piece inside of you.

And since this is the

trial run for the process,

any results have yet

to be determined.

But assuming there

are no defects,

it should enhance your

special characteristics.

It responds to the strength

of the end user's will.

[ISSEI]

Promise me.

Promise you'll stay the

strong and regal woman

you've always been.

[ISSEI]

And if there's a weakness in you

that's kept hidden from

everyone, it doesn't matter!

[gasps]

[ISSEI] You'll never have

to worry about that again!

If it ever becomes too

much for you to handle,

I'll be there to

pick you back up!

[ISSEI]

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

[RIAS]

The field's dissipating.

[ISSEI gasping]

What the hell's going on?

[DDRAIG] We're being pulled

into some kind of vortex

between dimensions.

[ISSEI]

What's going to happen to us?

[DDRAIG]

Not a clue.

I'm not a self-aware

encyclopedia, y'know.

I know. You don't

have to be a d*ck.

[DDRAIG] Hush. Can't

you sense his approach?

Great Red. Sucker's huge!

Of course. He's the

Dragon of Dragons.

[DDRAIG]

The Dragon of Dreams.

Another chance like

this may not come along.

We should follow his lead.

Okay.

Where are we?

Dunno. We were on this

beach before I realized it.

How strange.

Poor guy. Battered and

bruised for me again.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, it hurts, but these

injuries are no big deal.

As long as we're together,

I can put up with a lot.

[ISSEI]

What's up?

[RIAS] I don't want you all to

myself, or anything like that.

I'm not the jealous type.

At least, I never thought

that was the case.

But you're so close to Asia.

And... the way the rest of the

girls throw themselves at you.

I was so terrified of

becoming an afterthought.

But now you've shown

me how you really feel.

Why don't we head home?

Everyone's waiting for us.

[inaudible]

[gasps]

You came home!

[ISSEI]

Easy now!

[ASIA] Oh, thank goodness.

You both came back!

[AKENO]

Mh-hm.

You sure took

your sweet time.

Akeno.

The last thing I can remember

is b*ating that fake me

in the Twilight Zone.

You kicked your own ass?

I've come to expect

no less from you!

[ISSEI] I think so,

but it's all kinda hazy.

My memory's been fuzzy

since the mind control.

Wow. What happened here?

Uhh.

Rias.

We're just happy you're

home safe and sound.

Me too. Thanks, you guys.

[GASPER]

I couldn't help but think

the worst was going to happen,

and you'd never make it back!

Kiba.

Now that that's over.

What's next?

[AZAZEL]

Gotta say,

I'm pretty surprised

those kids made it back

from the Dimensional Gap.

[VALI]

I was fortunate enough

to witness something

well worth the trip.

[AZAZEL] The Red Dragon

Emperor's encounter

with Great Red?

So that was your game

plan all along, huh?

[VALI]

Hmph. Yeah, sure.

[AZAZEL chuckles]

Ha.

Yeah.

[SIR ZECHS] Azazel just

contacted me with good news.

It seems Rias has

returned home safely.

[GRAYFIA]

How wonderful!

That brave fool.

I don't know how I'll ever repay

Issei for rescuing my sister.

Come now,

Issei didn't do it with the

thought of a reward in his mind.

He's always been

the honest type.

He wears his heart on his sleeve

and keeps moving full steam

ahead, straight as an arrow.

[ISSEI]

Ddraig!

[DDRAIG]

It's been a while

since I've manifested

myself in this form.

You're right. Does that mean

I'm dreaming right now?

[DDRAIG]

I have some big news for you.

Lay it on me.

[DDRAIG] Aside from

the dragon transformation,

it seems another possibility for

growth has presented itself.

[ISSEI]

What does that mean?

[DDRAIG]

I don't really know for sure.

But you live with

a bevy of beauties,

so what's one more cock-tease?

Hey! No fair!

Akeno's squeeze-bag!

Sweet! The bed's never

been this crowded before.

[RIAS] After everything

that's happened,

the girls wanted

to stay extra close.

Good morning. Sleep well?

[ISSEI] Good morning.

Yeah, I slept like the dead.

Well, you've earned it.

I feel bad for causing so much

trouble and worry for everyone.

There's really nothing

to be embarrassed about.

None of that was your fault.

[RIAS]

It's strange.

I can remember bits and pieces.

[RIAS]

The details are all foggy,

but I remember the warmth.

The phantom memory

of that feeling

still lingers in my chest.

What about you?

I got nothin'.

I'm sorry, really.

[RIAS]

Don't be.

It's fine. You mean

the world to me.

I'm happy being with you

just the way you are.

[RIAS] That's right.

That's how it should be.

[ISSEI] I don't really

get what's going on,

but I know one thing for sure!

Rias's boobs are the tits!

Nipplage in my face!

Welcome home!

Hope you had a nice trip!

Looks like travel suits you.

[FATHER laughs]

Such a pleasant surprise

your family owns

a travel agency!

And were gracious enough to

give us a trip around the world

as a gift for opening our home!

Good to see you, Irina!

[ISSEI chuckles]

The trip provided a great way

to mask our time

in the underworld.

Welcome home!

I'm so glad that you're back!

--[MOTHER] Hi, Asia!

--[FATHER] Oh, Asia, dear!

[FATHER]

We missed you most of all!

You did?

It's true. Hardly a day went by

where we didn't ask ourselves,

"What's Asia up to now?" or

"I wonder how she's doing?"

Well, as you can see,

I'm doing just fine!

And you can thank Issei

and the rest for that.

I'm so grateful!

[laughs] Please, dear.

It's nothin' to cry about.

Sweetie, we didn't mean

to get you worked up!

[ASIA]

Oh, no, I'm sorry!

It's sweet that they treat Asia

like one of their

actual children.

While my place as their real son

continues to shrink

in the distance.

[MOTHER] Can you blame us?

I mean, take a look!

Asia is just so much cuter!

[FATHER]

If I had to make the choice,

I'd take Asia as our

daughter in a heartbeat!

Thanks! It's just...

I never knew my

real mom and dad,

so hearing you both say

something that generous

makes me really happy.

You can think of us

as your real parents

from here on out, if you'd like.

Thank you, mom.

Thank, you dad.

[ISSEI]

That's right.

Family. That means

you're not alone.

We're all in this together,

no matter what comes at us.

Now let's make sure to

look after each other.

Okay then. It's a deal!

[RIAS]

With that in mind,

would you extend your

hospitality to our new friend?

It's a pleasure to meet you.

[ISSEI chuckles] Mom and Dad,

I'd like you to meet Rossweisse.

She's, uh...

She's a new teacher

at the school,

and since my father

renovated your home,

I knew there was enough room.

Huh?

[RIAS]

Here you go.

It's a summary of the benefits

package for servants

of the Gremory household.

[ROSSWEISSE] No way! The

insurance premium's so cheap!

And no term life

policy mumbo jumbo!

Valhalla never offered dental

or paid vacation days!

I know.

If Rias ever needed work,

she'd do really well

as an insurance rep.

She's actually buying a

Valkyrie on the cheap.

And the devil's whispers

were woven with temptation.

I could learn a lot from her.

[IRINA, AKENO laugh]

[RIAS]

So, what do you think?

Sign up with Team Gremory

for the big win!

The underworld would

be glad to have you!

You're really going make

her one of your evil pieces?

That's a pretty unusual

choice, isn't it?

[AKENO]

Not in this case.

Right now, Rias and I are the

only wizard-type spellcasters

our squad has on the roster.

She complements our style.

[ISSEI]

I think Koneko's right.

[RIAS]

A power like yours

would be best utilized

in long-range att*cks.

I'm thinking a*tillery support.

Perhaps the Norns themselves

spun the thread of fate

that led me to your house.

Ever since our first meeting

in the underworld,

things just seemed right.

[ROSSWEISSE]

Due to the Gremory family's

record of financial solvency,

and the top-tier health

insurance and pensions plans,

I feel like I finally

have a secure future

now that I've become a

devil in your service.

Everyone, I look forward to our

joyous days of working together.

And so, Rossweisse

is part of our crew.

She's officially

our second rook,

and newest member

of Team Gremory.

[IRINA]

I dunno,

the whole thing seemed more

casual than I expected.

[XENOVIA]

I prefer them short and sweet.

It was the same for me as well.

[ROSSWEISSE laughs]

This is a dream come true.

You can take your crummy

job and shove it,

you prune faced old pervert!

Now all your pieces

are in place, Gremory.

[ISSEI]

Azazel?!

You're sitting in my chair,

without permission. Again.

You've got a full squad.

Which means from here on out,

you face any challenges head-on.

We will. I swear.

[AZAZEL]

I see that glint in your eyes.

It was a lot of trouble,

but in the end,

I guess it was worth it.

That's right. Hey, Issei!

What's up?

[AZAZEL] The date of your

appearance on underworld TV

has finally been scheduled.

TV?

Oh sh*t, I nearly forgot.

So you're going to

be on television?

What do they want me to do?

After everything that's

happened to you,

maybe it'll be an up-close

hero interview?

Hero? Who, me?

Ha! Yeah. I guess

I'm a big deal.

This dragon is ready.

How 'bout you?!

[KIDS]

It's Grabbin' time! Sing it!

This took a strange turn.

[KIBA]

"The Grabbin' Dragon Song"?

[KONEKO] Lyrics by Azazel,

and, apparently,

Sir Zechs wrote the music.

[GASPER] Choreography by

Serafall Leviathan.

[IRINA]

I expected underworld TV

to be a different

kind of sinister.

Uh. I went with him to the

studios on the day of the sh**t.

But it was all so

embarrassing,

I couldn't bring myself to

tell any of you guys about it.

You've become a beloved

kid's show host!

You're the coolest

guy I know, Issei!

Well, I wouldn't

say that. [laughs]

Hey, Asia.

Uh-huh?

The three-legged race.

Let's show 'em how it's done!

Right!

[ISSEI]

♪ Then the Grabbin' Dragon ♪

♪ went walking

through the woods. ♪

♪ Gropin' and grabbin'

at anything he could. ♪

♪ What was he grabbin'?

Jubblies! ♪

♪ The Grabbin' Dragon's

struck again. ♪

[ROSSWEISSE] I am your

new civics class teacher.

Feel free to call me Rossweisse.

Some platinum-haired

babe-age at last!

It looks like the time for

sexy older women has come!

[MATSUDA] This new Rosewater

teacher chick is bangin'!

I can't wait to spit some

game at her fine ass!

[ISSEI]

She's never had a boyfriend,

so you losers might

stand a chance.

I'm still quite inexperienced.

I hope you'll be

gentle at first.

[MATSUDA, MOTOHAMA]

Phrasing!

[ANNOUNCER] Our next event

is the three-legged race.

All competitors to the start

line, all runners, gather up.

You ready, Asia?

Sure! Let's kick some butt!

[ISSEI] ♪ Once a Grabbin' Dragon

roamed across the land. ♪

♪ Gropin' and grabbin'... ♪

Issei! Asia!

You're amazing!

First place is all yours!

You guys're doing great!

Issei! Asia! Kick some butt!

Your form's lookin' really good!

You can do it! Go for the gold!

They actually have a sh*t.

I'll accept nothing

less than record time!

[AZAZEL] Inundating power is

what created the Chaos Brigade,

but you used the

overflow of power

to protect the people you love.

I'm sure that's how

it'll always be.

But hey, one day, if

the fighting ever ends.

If it ends?

[AZAZEL]

What do you plan to do

when there's no one

left for you to fight?

I'm not like Vali, you know.

If a time of peace

like that ever arrives,

then I'll just shift my

focus to my dream.

To your dream?

[STUDENTS cheer]

[ISSEI, ASIA]

In-out! In-out! In-out!

In-out! In-out! In-out!

In-out! In-out!

[ISSEI] Asia will always

be by my side.

And we've got our friends

looking out for us.

And Rias is the glue that

keeps us all together.

That's why I can always find the

strength to try my very best!

[ISSEI]

Oh, yeah!

My dream?

[ISSEI] I thought I'd

made it pretty obvious.

My dream? It's to become

a harem king! Ha, ha, ha!

[gasps]

[ISSEI]

Rias!

[RIAS] My friends will

always come for me.

Issei will always

stand by my side.

I can read it in their smiles.

That's right.

Just as it should be.

And for now, it's enough.

No matter what troubles

might lie ahead,

or what may transpire

in our world.

I will do everything in my power

to keep those smiles in place.

Yes.

[RIAS]

Any time. For all time.
