It wasn't something particularly hard to see, all she had to do was look a little deeper into the mechanics of the Drag-ride, kind of like going past the home screen into the user settings.
What Rias found was a little dumbfounding. For some reason Gwyber had somehow given 100% control access to not just Issei but also Ddraig, generally speaking that shouldn't be possible.
Not in the sense that it was impossible to do but rather the Drag-Ride was somehow able to make a complete distinction between Ddraig and Issei. While they are, separate the boosted gear which contains Ddraigs soul is attached to Issei's so closely if they were to separate then Issei's soul would be completely destabilized and would start to dissipate until he died. To be able to tell them apart so easily was quite something.
But what interested her the most was that the Drag-Ride was able to pierce through the Seals of the Boosted gear and connect to Ddraig himself. Seals created by Him were said to be at the pinnacle of the world, capable of sealing even other Gods without them even being able to fight back.
This wasn't something DR's were originally supposed to be capable of there could be something great here. Noting this down in her mind for later experimentation she refocused on Issei.
"To put it simply both you and Ddraig were given 100% movement access by Gwyber and it's causing a conflicting response from it causing it to simply not move."
She watched as his still struggling expression changed from frustration to despair "Does that mean I'll never be able to control it?"
Letting out a small giggle at his expense Rias answered "Oh absolutely not, it's actually a pretty simple fix. You even have options you can choose from"
His face changed so quickly she was almost hit with whiplash, who can go from despair to happiness that quickly?
"Really?! What are they?"
"Well first, I can simply remove Ddraigs access to the DR or lower it where it will no longer be an issue.
Second I can change the system settings and remove the confliction allowing both of you to have access at 100%, though this could cause issues if you both move separately.
The last option how rely's completely on yourselves, To move as you guys are right now you have to be completely in sync with each other." Rias explained diligently
From the Drag-Ride which was still violently flashing green the gruff voice of Ddraig came forth "Partner, I think we should take the second option for now"
Neither of them knew how to fully control the DR yet anyway and this way they could take turns using it. This could also be his opportunity to actually move more freely in the real world.
He's been stuck in this sacred gear since the Great War with little to no capacity of movement outside of when his hosts would sometimes sacrifice body parts to him but well…. Those are just singular body parts, not much he can do with those. And even considering that, his hosts would usually end up dying shortly after due their bodies not being able to directly handle dragon aura.
Truly a perilous situation to be in.
Outside of the doom and Gloom of the dragons situation the once downtrodden Issei now in High spirits went along with it, not really caring which option it was as long as he was able to control the DR.
With a nod of understanding Rias delved into the settings of the Dragon-Ride once more and simply overrode the problem. Although she didn't know much about coding or mechanical engineering She was sure it wouldn't cause any problems….Maybe
'One of them is definitely going to try and see what happens when they both control at the same time while not being in sync…' letting out a sigh at the thought she looked back at the patient Akeno
"You can start now since that's over with"
And with that, the DDR's were tested once more and like Sirzechs, none reacted to Akeno.
"Sigh~ I'd hoped to be able to obtain a Divine one from the start." Akeno said while holding a hand to her cheek.
Her eyes gleamed while looking at Sona who ran around getting used to the controls of her DR. Walking past the Divine drag-rides she bent down and picked up a regular drag ride.
A simple wyvern type and in that moment she began to chant.
"Come to me, Symbol of power worthy of the crest of the winged-dragon. Let us soar through this blade. Wyvern!" She was immediately encompassed by a blueish white aura tinged with an electric yellow.
This Wyvern didn't yet have a true name and was not yet a true dragon but it was already far different from a regular wyvern drag-ride.
Throughout the entire body of the DR ran electrical yellow lines, and instead of the normal sword it would usually carry it held a whip in its hands. It's once small wings now doubled in size with feather like designs all over them.
"Ooo~ this is quite nice" Akeno said while flexing the machines hands. She looked over at Sona with a gaze of pure mischief.
Sona, who was minding her own business preparing to start practicing using the Drag-Rides weapons suddenly felt something wrapped around her machines leg.
Looking down she saw it, the long object wrapped around her was… a whip? Following the whips line she saw Akeno in a Drag-ride holding the whip.
"Akeno… what are you doing" the Sitri heiress asked, though she already knew the answer.
"Just having some fun!" Akeno exclaimed, not even attempting to mask her intentions.
With all the force she could generate she pulled on her whip. The whip was instantly pulled to full tension, although she put all she could muster into the pull, Leviathan barely budged.
Sona of course didn't just let Akeno pull her off her feet. She planted Leviathans leg deep into the ground in preparation for the pull.
And to Akeno's credit Levaithan a Land battle type Divine Drag-Ride while planted in the ground did budge a little even if it was only barely by a air battle type basic Drag-Ride.
"It won't be that easy, Akeno." Sona said Smugly.
"I'd be disappointed if it was~"
…
"Anyways." Rias said ignoring Sona and Akeno "Who's next?"
"I'll go next" Koneko said raising her hand
Her eyes were filled with determination, these Drag-Rides, and this vision. These were the paths for her to gain the strength to capture her sister.
"Hmm. Hold on one second" Rias said while pulling out one of the three DDR's she'd removed from the choices, Jormungandr.
"See if this one resonates with you, don't activate it though." Rias asked
"Mm" Koneko hummed while reaching for the handle of the sheathed blade.
As she grasped the handle the blades holster released, confirming the resonance.
Seeing that Koneko was in the same enthralled state as the others when they resonated with the Drag-Rides, she quickly removed the blade from Koneko's grasp before she could start chanting.
"This is Jormungandr, and as the name refers, this Drag-Rides is extremely large. Nowhere close to the real Jormungandr but still larger than this field and most of the school. You'll get a chance to test it out later Koneko" Rias explained
"Mm, okay." She responded, only slightly dejected.

Kiba, and Asia were the last to check there resonances and both were incompatible with the remaining DDR's. The Tsubaki and Grayfia chose not to attempt for now.
Kiba just like Akeno chose a Wyvern type regular Drag-Ride, his transforming in a similar way to hers. It gained a green wind like patterns across its surface and grew a whip like tail and In its hands it held a large great sword.
Asia however opted out of choosing a regular drag-ride, choosing to focus on her Vision.
And Finally Sirzechs also chose a Wyvern type Drag-Ride, he chose not to activate it here though as it would more than likely cause a scene.
'What should I do now..?' Rias thought while lashing around on the couch of her club room.
Once all the Drag-Rides were chosen she'd gotten Grayfia to put the remaining DR's in storage at the Gremory estate. Though she kept the DDR's stored within the club room.
Sirzechs as the Satan Lucifer also couldn't stay much longer, so he returned to the underworld after a short goodbye.
Her peerage who've gotten so many new "toys" to play with have thrown themselves into practicing with both their Visions and the Drag-Rides.
So she remained alone in the club room with just her thoughts.
As she thought about it now this is the first time she's had true down time, not stressing or doing something.
"I ended up forgetting to tell Brother about the fall of the Tepes… he should find out soon anyway, a faction getting annihilated isn't news to ignore no matter how minor the faction was." Rias hummed to herself.
"I should probably find whoever it was that did it, it is essentially my fault anyway. But I don't want to take away the Vision without finding out why they did it in the first place." Sighing to herself Rias realized the headache that was incoming
"I've really made a mess huh?" She said while rubbing her temples "I also still have Gasper to worry about, with my current power I might be able to resist the eye of balor. If so, I could be able to finally get him out of that room."
Finally having a rough plan of her next course of action Rias got up from her slumped position "Tomorrow is going to be a stressful day, I just know it."

Okay that ends off this chapter, and yes, I know it's really late.
If you haven't noticed I posted another story that I'm working on, that one is in first person I'm trying a different style on it to see if I like that one more.
On even newer news though I have a third story in the way, and honestly it's for the a similar reason I wrote the other story. first of all to practice, and second of all because it's an idea that wouldn't leave my head which made it so I literally couldn't focus.
