OKAY EVERYONE, IMPORTANT PLEASE READ!
I have gotten mixed reviews about how giving Laxus a harem is the worst idea since the dawn of time. I have had people who have said that it is a great idea, however there seems to be more opposed to him getting what a lot of you guys dubbed as the 'big four' girls in his harem. I will compromise on this, Laxus will not get a harem but he will be paired with either Serafall or Grayfia. It is up to you guys to decide. The one not chosen and the other two will be added to Naruto's harem. At this point if you can't stand to see Laxus with either of the two, tough.
I may or may not add others to Naruto's harem seeing as I have gotten a lot of requests to add so and so. If you want to see someone added send me a review or a PM and give me a good reason why they should be added. As of right now the only ones added are Kuroka, Gabrielle, and whoever is not chosen to be paired with Laxus. Other than that you guys seem to like the story so far so I will continue as planned unless I get a lot of requests to change something else. Now here is chapter 3 of "The Forgotten Heir", and as always I do not own any of the characters or dialog from other shows or videos.
Chapter 3
Grayfia reappeared back at her home in the underworld, having just returned from the human world. To say that the visit took and interesting turn was an understatement. Grayfia tuned and quickly made her way towards her king's office to inform him of the change in plans. When she arrived, Grayfia quickly saw that he was not alone. It looked like the Heads of the Phenex house were there along with the heads of the Gremory and the Uzumaki. Grayfia could understand why the Phenex and Gremory were here but the presence of Minato and Kushina baffled her.
Deciding to put that out of her mind for the moment, she strode over towards them to inform the house heads of the decision that was reached. "Ah, Grayfia we were just talking about Riser, Rias' engagement. Has she accepted the proposal, or is she opting for the Rating Game option?" questioned Sirzechs, seeing as his Queen came to deliver the final answer.
"Well there seems to be a slight wrinkle, Rias chose option number three." Said Grayfia, this drew questioning looks from everyone in the room. Seeing as they were about to ask her to elaborate Grayfia continued, "She and Riser weren't the only pure blooded devils there today. It would seem that your son, Minato and Kushina, has taken the role of defender for Rias. He accepted Riser's challenge to a Rating Game in the place of Rias. Naruto had some not so nice things to say about you Sirzechs, and you as well Lord and Lady Gremory but that is for a later time." said Grayfia who once again drew looks of confusion from her statement.
"Tell me what happened," said Sirzechs, wanting to know how the meeting went down, and what Naruto said about him. Grayfia then proceeded to give an account of what went down up to the point of Naruto taking the place of Rias in the Rating Game.
Seeing everyone take a second to digest what just transpired Grayfia continued, "However there is more…"
Flashback
"No if Rias is to have a true fighting chance at gaining her freedom from Riser, then she will not be the one going into the Rating Game. I, Naruto Uzumaki pure blood devil of the House of Uzumaki request to fight for Rias in her stead. Seeing as she is unable to at this moment in time." Said Naruto as he looked over at Rias and winked at her, telling her that it was his turn to protect and fight for her to make up for the years of absence.
Riser looked at him for a brief moment and just started to laugh at him, seeing as he was getting more control of his body back the laughter got stronger as the minutes wore on. Finally when he calmed down he gave Naruto the most condescending look he had seen thrown at him.
"I will admit that your bishop is pretty powerful, but the only reason that I got hurt as much as I did was because it was a cheap trick. He got me when I was not prepared and had not time to fight back or defend myself." Said Riser, the level of arrogance in his voice astounded even Grayfia.
"You who was rejected by your house hold, thinks that he can beat me a virtual prodigy of my own house. You even said it yourself, I have years more experience and I am far more powerful that you lot." At this time Riser gain mobility back in his body, and he started to walk around room.
"If you're so confident in yourself then it should be no problem letting me fight for Rias in her place. Surely you want Rias to realize how much better of a devil you are in comparison to me. What better way than by stomping my ass in a Rating Game?" questioned Naruto, everyone accept Riser could see that he was just goading him on and playing to his vanity.
"Very well I accept you fighting for Rias in this Rating Game in her stead, when you lose however you have to also live the rest of your life as a slave to the house of Phenex." Said Riser, it became obvious that he was trying to milk this deal for all it was worth. That suited Naruto just fine; destroying his pride in the Rating Game and getting Rias back would be prize enough.
Just then another magical circle appeared behind Riser, a smirk playing on his lips as fifteen figures appeared behind him. He had summoned his peerage, trying to intimidate Naruto was the best guess he could come up with.
"As you can see I do have a full set, and all of my pieces were strategically picked to be the absolute best for their position." Riser bragged, only to look over at Issei who had a sudden fit of the hysterics. Everyone could see him crying and cursing out Riser in the corner of the room, Asia trying her best to console him.
"What the hell is the matter with him?" questioned Riser, as he looked over in confusion and disgust at Issei.
"He has a dream to become the Harem King, and seeing you with a peerage full of pretty girls set him off." explained Rias, who looked to have a tired expression on her face. This drew looks of disgust from most of Risers Peerage.
"Oh really," Riser smirked over in Issei's direction, "Boy because you are a low class devil you will never get to do this then." Riser then started groping the breasts of two of his peerage members while he made out with his Queen. This sent Issei into another fit of curses and a look of rage and jealousy appeared on his face.
"That's all well and good Riser, I guess since you showed me yours I will have to show you mine." Interrupted Naruto, seeing as this little game of tit for tat was just wasting time.
A magical circle appeared behind Naruto and twelve figures appeared; who were joined by Laxus, Vali and Jeanne who fell in behind Naruto. This action got a look of anger from Riser seeing as the two girls he had been ogling were part of Naruto's peerage.
Riser to say the least was a little taken aback at what he saw, Naruto's peerage look pretty intimidating to say the least. Well his two rooks looked intimidating the others just looked average to him.
"Riser this is my peerage, I also have a full set and will be battling you in the Rating Game. Let us have this game in five days' time, just enough to go through strategies and do any last minute preparations." said Naruto, getting a nod of approval from Riser.
"Well Rias when I am done pounding your little boyfriend here into the ground, I will take you back to the Underworld with me and make you mine. In fact I might even claim all of the girls in your peerage as well. That little blonde haired one looks absolutely innocent, and I really want to break her." said Riser, as he leered at Asia visibly undressing her with his eyes.
This drew a howl of rage from Issei as he charged at Riser, his Boosted Gear out and fist cocked back to punch his lights out.
"Mira get him," Riser commanded, as a red blur shot past him to intercept Issei. Mira stopped and pivoted on her front leg and spun, her staff shot out at Issei only for it to get caught by Kara. Issei didn't have time to stop seeing as Kara appeared out of nowhere, and ran into her. It honestly felt like running into a brick wall. Mira tried desperately to free her staff from the grip of the blonde haired girl, but she literally would not budge an inch. Then with just a squeezing of her hand the staff shattered and Mira was sent flying back at Riser via palm strike from Kara. Xuelan jumped in front of her body to catch her, only to be sent back into the wall with her. Everyone was shocked at the display of power Kara just showed off. Riser just gained and angry sneer, "Five days Uzumaki, then you and you peerage will be slaves to the house of Phenex. I can't wait to break all of you peerage members in." he sneered, Riser looked back to see that Xuelan had gather up Mira rather gingerly, and got ready to head back.
Just as Riser was about to teleport back to the underworld, a little blonde haired missile flew past him and ran straight into Naruto. Naruto looked down and saw it was his childhood friend Ravel giving him a hug.
He smiled down at her and returned it, getting a blush from said girl. "I just wanted to express my gratitude that you decided to come back; and to invite you over for tea some time so we can catch up on things." Said Ravel as the blush on her face intensified, buried her head into Naruto's chest to hide it from him. This action got looks of envy and jealousy from his peerage and Rias. Naruto just chuckled at her and gave her a nod in acceptance. There was also the fact that she seemed to not have faith in Riser, for the context of her question indicated that Naruto would still be free to make such decisions. This fact was not lost on Naruto as he gazed down at Ravel.
"Good, you should feel honored that a high classed devil like me is taking the time to ask someone like you to tea." Said Ravel with a huff and turned around and crossed her arms. This drew more chuckles from Naruto who scooped her up in another hug from behind.
"Oh Ravel you're so adorable when you get all tsun-tsun like that." Said Naruto as he rubbed his cheek against hers, getting a megawatt blush from Ravel as she tried to extract herself from him. Finally freeing herself and heading back over to Riser who looked like he was going to have an aneurism any second, waved one last time at Naruto before they disappeared.
Naruto looked at his peerage and gave them the okay to head back to their house, but not before his female members stole a quick kiss from him. Well, not so quick for Mirajane which drew scowls from everyone else. Naruto just chuckled at their antics and waved at them as they teleported out.
Grayfia was just beginning to recover from seeing Naruto's peerage; she idly noted that Rias and company didn't seem as affected as she was so they obviously met them before. Grayfia began to wonder if they knew to the extent of power that Naruto's peerage seemed to poses. While they all seemed very powerful in their own right, there were three that made her nervous, the two large rooks and his queen. It was carefully hidden but the queen and tall rook had absolutely massive magical reserves, and the grey rook seemed odd to her. There was a fair amount of power but it didn't possess the same aura of a true living creature.
Grayfia was taken out of her musings by Rias who was chasing Naruto around the room for insinuating that she was weak in front of everybody. Grayfia's eyes drew over towards Naruto and she began to wonder what he was hiding, to be able to instill such loyalty in such powerful allies.
"Rias I must return to the Underworld to inform Lucifer-sama of the decision reached here today. Rias I hope you trust Uzumaki-sama because your fate in now in his hands." said Grayfia as she made her way to leave.
"Grayfia before you go, tell the Gremory's that I am very disappointed in them. While I will always appreciate what they have done for me in my childhood, I can't be more disappointed by their actions. The Gremory's pride themselves on loving their servants as their own family, yet they trade their daughter away to a man who does not love her like a common pawn. They are afraid of their line going extinct but that is just another lie, this is nothing more than them wanting to make a super devil at the cost of a young woman's happiness. Their greed as astounded me, if this is the famous Gremory love then I want no part of it. I will stick to being just friends." said Naruto.
Grayfia, once more looked at him in shock and slight anger at what he said. However there was a nagging true to his words. Looking at it from that perspective this deal was incredibly shallow; Rias would have married in time and would have made a good choice in a partner. Maybe Naruto's words help more truth than she would have liked.
Deciding to say nothing Grayfia activated the magic circle and departed for the Underworld, hoping that maybe with Naruto competing some good can come of this situation.
End Flashback
When Grayfia finished her tale, the whole group had fallen silent. Lord and Lady Gremory looked especially upset at the things Naruto said about their family. Yet this caused them to think about what he said and how I their might be some truth to his words.
"Lord and Lady Gremory, Lucifer-sama please let me apologize for my son's actions. It would seem that he has still not learned his manners and said some dreadful things about your family." said Minato, trying to some damage control and hoped that this didn't ruin any of their friendships.
"No need to apologize Minato, we have always known that Naruto would take this decision the hardest. However I can see some truth to his words. Venelana dear, perhaps we did make a hasty decision in setting up this contract between Riser and Rias. We could see from day one that they two of them would have made a great couple." said Lord Gremory as he looked over at this wife.
"I don't know, but it's too late now all we can do is wait and see the outcome of the Rating Game between Riser and your son Kushina." said Venelana, and she looked over at the other two wives.
Sirzechs seemed to be deep in thought about what transpired just know and was about to ask more questions when Grayfia began to speak again. "Also Sirzechs, while I was there I got a brief glance at Naruto-sama's full peerage. Three of his pieces set me on edge." said Grayfia, as she got looks of curiosity from everyone in the room.
Kushina was the first to find her voice, "What do you mean 'set you on edge'?" Grayfia looked uncomfortable for a minute before she answered.
"I don't really know how to describe it, one of them his queen had this feeling of absolute power about her. It was also weird her eye changed to these weird patterns every now and then. I didn't get a real good look. The two pieces that really bothered me were his rooks. One has large enough magical reserves that he could almost be an ultimate class bishop, and the other gave off this weird vibe." answered Grayfia, this drew even more curious glances from the group.
Sirzechs took this opportunity to ask, "Weird how, did it seem like it was angels and fallen angels weird?"
"No, it was definitely not affiliated with any church. It gave off this feeling of death, like it was living yet not truly alive. Like I couldn't hear a heartbeat, or even see him breath." answered Grayfia, whatever that thing was hopefully they got to see what it does and learn more about it.
"Well then it would seem that Naruto has gone and got him some interesting pieces, I personally can't wait to see how strong he is now." said Sirzechs, Grayfia just rolled her eyes at him.
"Kushina I still don't understand why you did what you did to Naruto, he seems to have gotten so powerful. Why couldn't you take care of him like you did Menma?" questioned Venelana, it still baffled her that a mother could ignore one of her children.
"I told you Menma had more potential, and Naruto would have just let the Uzumaki name down. I still love him but Menma is the future of the clan and needs us more than Naruto does." Said Kushina, she did in fact feel bad about abandoning her son but it was for the good of the family. Naruto should have known that it was nothing personal against him.
Finally Lady Phenex decided to chime in about the wayward Uzumaki child, "Well aside from the stakes of this match I am very excited to see how much little Naruto has grown. This is going to be a very hard test for him."
As Venelana was about to reply the doors to the room burst open and a young man walked in. He looked to be about seventeen years old, and stood around five foot eleven. He had longish red hair and purple eyes. This was Menma Uzumaki, the current heir to the Uzumaki family.
"So it would seem that my embarrassment of an older brother has returned. Well it doesn't matter how strong he's gotten because he will always be trash in my presence. He may have a full peerage, but his servants are inferior to mine. I can't wait for this Rating Game, because either way I get what I want. If he loses then I get to see him as a slave for the rest of his life. If he wins and does happen to have some good pieces then I can force him to trade them over to me, and I can take Rias from him for the good of the family." said Menma shocking everyone at his level of arrogance, it was only second to Riser and even then it was pushing it.
"Oh and what makes you think that Naruto will just hand over his strong pieces and Rias to you?" questioned Sirzechs, it was not in a condescending way he was genuinely curious at the young boys reasoning.
"Because I am his better, and if he doesn't then I will formally challenge him to a Rating Game like the one he is in now. Then once he loses all that is his will belong to me." stated Menma as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Once again the sheer arrogance and vanity was astounding, it was as if there were two Risers' or two Menma's in the world. Even Kushina and Minato had the decency to look a little sheepish at their son's behavior. Everyone just seemed to shake their heads at him.
"Well we will know the outcome in five days, now I believe we need to go discuss the battlefield and what the landscape is going to look like." said Sirzechs, and with that he bid is guest's farewell.
Flash-forward five days (I mean really who wants to see training)
We find Naruto chilling on the couch of the Occult Research Club room; casually drinking tea as Rias was pacing back and forth across the room. Naruto's peerage was around him not seeming nervous at all, and this irritated Rias immensely.
"Okay Naruto, I need to know exactly what did you do over the last five days to prepare? I do recall that it was you who asked for the five day prep time." Said Rias as she tried to keep her cool, but can you blame her, her fate is about to be decided in the next couple of hours.
Seeing the frazzled girl, Naruto just let out a throaty chuckle and gave a little shake of the head, "Oh Rias what makes you think that I did any real prep for the Rating Game at all?" asked Naruto, this got a howl of rage from Rias as she stomped over towards Naruto to throttle him.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU WERE THE ONE WHO ASKED FOR THE FIVE DAY PREP PERIOD?" screamed Rias, as she grabbed Naruto by his collar and shook him like a rag doll.
After finally extracting himself from Rias, he gave her what could be described as a haughty look of derision, "Rias do you really have so little faith in me, I think we, my peerage and I, spent about two or three hours and put together a good battle plan and a couple of contingencies. The five days was for Riser so when I stomp his ass into the ground, there will be no excuses for him to hide behind." said Naruto if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Rias while confident in Naruto's abilities was starting to get a little pissed at his flippant behavior. Rias could see that Akeno and Koneko were starting to wear a little thin in the Naruto department as well. Seeing that another tantrum was in the near future, Mirajane ran over and started to play peace keeper. "Rias while I know that this is hard for you, you need to trust us. I can tell you with the utmost certainty that Riser Phenex does not have a snowball's chance in hell at winning this Rating Game. It is not me, or Naruto being cocky it is the simple fact that our group far out classes anything that Riser has." said Mira in that soothing, almost hypnotic voice that she has.
"I know Mira but if it was me in his place I would still be thinking of different battle strategies. I mean Naruto is my age, I guess it's still hard to take in how powerful his peerage is for his age." Stated Rias and she looked over at his group. Mei it looks like just said something raunchy or scandalous because both Diana and Akasha were blushing up a storm and sputtering denials to whatever was said. Laxus, Master Hades, and Aizen were in a deep discussion about who knows what and Kara seemed to be annoying Ann who was trying to catch her in a web but was failing at it.
"I guess it just bugs me that I'm so nervous right now and none of you seem to be the least bit serious I guess." Rias was really worried right now; it was hard knowing that the fate of the rest of your life was to be decided in a few hours.
"Hey I will let you in on a little secret, everyone is nervous and despite the power that we all have we all have pre battle jitters. Even with all our power there are no absolutes in battle that is why Naruto is going into this battle confident but not overly so. Riser may have just beaten himself with the fact that he is underestimating us." replied Mira, she took Rias' hand into her own and gave it a comforting squeeze.
"Hey not to get off topic but what is your magic, from what I can see everyone in this peerage has something special about them? I know that Naruto is not shallow enough to pick you just for your looks, so what is it?" questioned Rias, Mia could see a childlike curiosity in her eyes that almost made her cave in.
Shaking her head Mira stood up and made her way back over to her peerage mates, but not before giving her a taunting smirk. Rias gave a pout knowing that she would have to wait and find out just like everyone else.
As things were starting to calm down a magic circle appeared in the room and Grayfia stepped out. "Naruto it is time for the Rating Game, get ready the announcement for teleportation will be made shortly. Rias I am here to take you and your peerage up to the observation deck. Sirzechs will be watching the games and long with Lord and Lady Gremory, Phenex and Uzumaki. Naruto I believe Menma will be watching as well." Said Grayfia as Rias and company made their way over the stand next to her. All this got her was a barely acknowledged grunt.
Rias gave Naruto one last smile and mouthed 'good luck' and they were gone in a flash of red light. Turning to his peerage it was time to make a rousing speech that would inspire his troops and spur them on to victory. "Riser is a d-bag and cannot be allowed to win. I don't want this to be a Rating Game; I want this to be a slaughter. Now before you all start pissing and moaning not all of you will have parts in the game." This drew a loud moan and some 'boos' from his peerage before he could stop it. "As I was saying, not all you will have large roles in this Rating Game, however I do believe there is a summit for the young devils coming up, and my idiotic brother as well so you will get your time." said Naruto, this seemed to somewhat placate a his peerage.
"That said I want this to be a slaughter, I don't care how you take down your opponents. Toy with them, destroy them outright I don't care just don't lose. This is the plan, Kara and Diana will be flying overhead at the start of the game. I want detailed locations of all his pieces. Once I get locations and numbers I will divide you guys up and send you on your marry way." As Naruto finished his explanation a massive magic circle appeared underneath them and they were teleported right back into what looked like the Occult Research Club room.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I, Grayfia, will be running commentary and refereeing this Rating Game that will take place in a replica of Kuoh Academy. First we have Riser Phenex, whose territory is in the student counsel club room. Then we have Naruto Uzumaki, whose territory is in the old school building. For Pawns to promote you will need to be inside the designated rooms." Explained Grayfia, this got a nod from Naruto as he started too looked over an aerial map of the school.
"This match will begin in 3…..2…..1…begin." With that the Rating Game was under way. Kara and Diana shot out of the club room window and were already in the air looking for Risers pieces. Naruto faintly heard the sound of a sonic boom as Kara and Diana broke the sound barrier and went supersonic.
"Okay first as a precaution Laxus, Hades go into the forest and lay down some precautionary traps just in case some of Risers pawns manage to get by. I doubt they will but better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them." said Naruto, getting nods from both of them as they set out to do their jobs.
As this was getting set up, Naruto began marking places on his map of where the traps were set as Laxus and Hades told him. After their return, it became a waiting game. "Naruto you there, this is Kara?"
"Yeah Kara I can hear you, what have you and Diana found?" Naruto asked, this drew the attention of his other pieces.
"Okay so you have three pawns moving towards to school house through the forest, a rook and three pawns moving to take the gym, both of the knights, two pawns and a bishop are on the athletic field. The queen seems to be circling and moving from each location she has no designated spot, the last rook and bishop are moving in a pincer movement tandem with the three pawns and are near the athletic shed and the opposite side of the forest by the pool." said Kara and she and Diana made their way back to the base.
Naruto thanked them and waited for his two pawns to make it back, in the meantime Naruto relayed the information he just got from them to his other pieces and gave them their ear pieces. Once that was finished Kara and Diana made their way back to the clubroom and they got ready for their assignments.
"Okay this is what we are going to do Akasha and Ann, you two are going to intercept the three pawns in the forest, then when you are done make your way to the athletic field. Next Darkseid and Mirajane are going to go and take the gym back from the rook and three pawns. Laxus, Master Hades, Revan and Aizen you four will go and take the athletic field. When you are done wait for everyone else to meet you there. Diana and Kara you guys will take the last rook and bishop by the pool shed. Madara you will take their queen, make sure she does not interfere. I do not know her power so do don't give her a chance to attack any of us. Lastly you Doomsday you will be with me when we storm the castle and take down Riser. Jeanne, Vali, and Mei you three will guard the base just in case any of us fail, when all the pawns are gone you may join us in the final siege of Risers castle. Alright you have your assignments, now go and bring me victory, remember this is our debut so let's show them the power of Naruto Uzumaki." With that all of Naruto's pieces left to complete their assignments.
In The Forest
Akasha and Ann in her Venom form where standing in a clearing that was in the direct path of the pawns. Both had smirks on their face at the prospect of humiliating their opponents for the insult to their master. Well Akasha had a smirk; Ann just had that crazed grin that came with the Venom appearance. Moments later the three pawns landed in the clearing.
"Well, well, well look at this Burent it would seem that Uzumaki-sama only sent two pawns to deal with us," said Marion drawing a smirk from her fellow pawn.
"Yes it would seem so, we have the number advantage so we need to make quick work of them so we can promote," said Burent as Shuriya began to make her move.
"Well seeing as you don't have any manners despite being maids, I shall start the introductions. I am Akasha Bloodriver previous vampire ruler, and this is Ann Weying holder of the Venom symbiote." said Akasha as she gave them a mock bow, this only seemed to piss them off more and they got ready to attack.
Before Shuriya could make a move Ann shot a line of web at her and hit her in the mouth. With a vicious yank Ann sent her flying right at her and when she got close Ann close lined her right into the ground.
As she tried to stand up Ann jumped and gave another vicious yank on the line and sent Shuriya sailing into the air. Still stunned from the previous attack Shuriya had no time to prepare for the coming onslaught. At the peak of the toss Ann pulled her opponent back towards the earth, as she neared Ann delivered a devastating upper cut to Shuriya's ribs. With a sickening crack Shuriya was sent barreling into the nearest tree. As her body started to slow down, Ann appeared above her and grabbed onto her face. With one more sickening grin, Ann slammed her head into the ground shattering it and every bone in her body leaving an impressive ten foot diameter crater. Shuriya's only comfort was that she sustained enough damage to retire after that last attack.
With Akasha
The other two pawns made to make a move to help their fellow pawn only to have their path blocked by Akasha and her large leathery bat wings. They looked nothing like devil wings, these where larger and far more impressive.
"Uh, uh, uh your fight is with me; let your little friend over there try and beat Ann. Besides you have for bigger problems with me right now." As she finished yoki and demonic energy exploded from her body causing a shock wave that tore up the ground her. The force of the blast sent both Marion and Burent flying back into a couple of trees.
Groaning the two pawns started to pick themselves up when Akasha seemed to teleport to their location on speed alone and delivered a massive punch right into Marion's face, the force of the impact cause her to retire immediately. Burent seeing her friend so brutally attacked went after Akasha in a blind rage. Hoping to get lucky with a Hail Mary punch, Burent swung wildly at Akasha only for her to bat the attack aside and back hand her into the ground. The attack seemed armless, but for Burent it felt like getting hit with a sledge hammer. As she kept trying to stand up only to be slapped back into the ground, after a few minutes of this Akasha grew tired of this and prepared to end it.
"Remember this pain when you think of trying to defy my King again," said Akasha, then she used her near perfect control over her power to create a blade of pure demonic energy around her arm. That look of condescension, and disgust was all Burent saw before she plunged the blade into her abdomen. Purposefully putting it there she that it wouldn't kill her instantly, but was brutal enough for her to retire and to send a message. All who oppose them will be destroyed and left in the dust.
[Riser Phenex has lost three pawns]
Akasha smirked and looked over at Ann only to see a trail of destruction from the massively one sided fight that just happened. With a silent signal the two of them made their way over towards the athletic field.
Gymnasium
Darkseid and Mirajane stopped as they reached the doors to the gym, Mira was about to pull the doors open when Darkseid stopped her. "Allow me, the doors might be booby trapped," and with that Darkseid pulled the doors open only for them to erupt in a fiery explosion. When the flames dies down, Mira could see Darkseid standing their without a scratch on him.
"Good call; that would have certainly been an inconvenience in this form." said Mira as they made their way into the gym. The two pieces only took two steps into the dark room before the lights flickered on and they saw their opponents. Darkseid looked over the opponents and decided that he would take the rook while Mirajane handled the three pawns. "Mirajane, I'll take the rook you handle the rest." Mira gave him and nod and started to walk over to her opponents.
"I am Xuelan, rook of Riser Phenex. Who am I doing battle with?" she asked as Darkseid made his way over towards her. "I am entropy, I am death, I am….Darkseid. I serve as rook for my king as well." seeing that as her sign, Xuelan leapt at Darkseid and tried to deliver a round house kick to head, only for Darkseid to causally bat her attack aside without even taking a step.
"Hi, I'm Mirajane also known as the 'She Devil' pawn of Naruto-sama, who am I facing in battle today?" asked Mira as she saw the three pawns in front of her. Seeing as there was no harm in introducing themselves the twins said their names were IIe and Nel and the other said her name was Mira. With introductions out of the way the twins fired up their chain saws and made a mad dash towards Mirajane.
"My turn Takeover Magic- Satan Soul," and with that a massive black and blue magic circle appeared above her head as her appearance took on her Satan Soul form. With Mirajane's new appearance, this gave the other pawn's pause as they tried to figure out what the hell just happened. The twins tried to hit her, but Mirajane seemed to just vanish into thin air. Mirajane reappeared behind them and just causally dodged the twin's erratic swings as they tried to hit her.
"Come on just hold still," "Yeah we just wanna cut you up a little," were the twin's replies to Mirajane's constant dodging. Seeing as they wanted her to stop dodging, Mirajane spun around and grabbed to chain saw blades and threw them to the sides. They were momentarily stunned but were brought out of it by Mirajane spin kicking both of over towards Mira. Mira leapt at Mirajane and tried to jab her in the head with her staff, only for her to get it broken again. Mira leapt away just as Mirajane fired a spell at her.
"Let's see how you handle this 'Darkness Magic-Darkness Stream," a magic circle appeared underneath them and long black tendrils of magical claws shot out at them. IIe and Nel barely had time to dodge and get their chain saws back. Mira was not so lucky and took the brunt of the attack. "Seriously what is up with this chick," "Yeah her king must be a real d-bag if he has these kinds of people on his peerage," said the twins not noticing the tick marks that were appearing on Mirajane's forehead as they insulted her King.
"D-bags huh, well I can show you just how much of a d-bag I really am them. Prepare yourself," and with that she brought her hands up and a purple and black ball of energy formed and started to crackle in energy. "Darkness Magic-Soul Extinctor" and with a thrust of her hands a massive purple and black beam of energy fired off and engulfed the three pawns, the resulting explosion took out the back half of the gym.
[Riser Phenex has lost three pawns]
Mirajane smirked to herself for a job well done and kept up her Satan Soul and waited for Darkseid to finish.
Xuelan was not having a good day, her opponent was a monster. For the most part he was able to bat aside all of her attacks like they were from a common house fly. The most infuriating part was if her attack did hit, they did diddly squat. Finally deciding to stop playing around, Xuelan made her fists and feet erupt in fire as she prepared to attack.
Sensing that now was a good time to fight back, Darkseid just smirked and started to walk forwards her. "Foolish girl, by now you should realize that this battle is hopeless. You do not possess the necessary power to defeat me." Xuelan just gritted her teeth and charged in, trying to hit his knees or one of the common weak spots.
Seeing what she was doing, Darkseid with surprising speed spun and grabs her outstretched arm. Then with an unparalleled strength flung her into a wall, just as she was beginning to slide to the ground was slammed back into the wall by a pair of twin red laser beams.
Xuelan began to howl in pain as Darkseid's omega beams began to burn away her cloths and began to get burns all over her body. "You should have listened to me, right now if I keep this up my omega beams will reduce you to ashes." said Darkseid, only to cut them off to see if there was any fight left in the young woman.
Coughing, Xuelan stood up on shaky legs as intense pain wracked her body. Due to her being in the Phenex house fire has never been effective against her, or her fellow peerage mates. Whatever it was that this 'thing' just did burned her which should have been impossible. Xuelan sensing a lull in his fighting tried to capitalize on this momentary cease fire.
Jumping into the air Xuelan tried to aim for his eyes seeing as that is where that accursed power came from. Only for Darkseid to causally slap her into the ground, however his unknown strength was revealed when her body created a twenty foot crater. It was only due to her status as a rook that she was even able to keep from retiring.
"Give up foolish girl, in the state you're in right now you have no chance of defeating me in battle." said Darkseid, when Xuelan spit in this face as a response a dark look over came him. "So be it."
Darkseid held her outstretched in his hand and delivered a vicious uppercut to her midsection, the force of the punch created a small shockwave outwards. Xuelan felt excruciating pain as her body slammed through the ceiling, as her body started to slow in accent his omega beams slammed into her once more and this time it was enough to force her to retire.
[Riser Phenex has lost one rook]
Darkseid for his part just looked up with an impartial glance, than looked over at Mirajane to see if she was ready to head over to the athletic field. Seeing as she was already done with her fight, they took flight and made their way to meet up with the others.
With Naruto
We find Naruto sitting behind a desk, with his head resting on his hands. After getting the announcement of Riser losing six of his eight pawns and one of his rooks, he couldn't help but be a little giddy. Everything was going according to plan, all that was left were two more pawns then he could begin phase two of his super ingenious, master domination plan. "Hahahaha, victory is within my grasp. Soon Riser will fall and with his defeat I shall usher in a new era of domination. Nothing can stop me." Naruto thought, as he couldn't help but giggle manically.
As this was going on Mei, Vali, Jeanne and Doomsday all walked back into the room to see their leader grinning like a mad man and giggling like one. However that was not the most concerning thing, no the fact that there was a covering the floor.
"Naruto what is going on in here, we come back from scouting the perimeter and we find you laughing like a loon and the base is a mess?" asked Mei as she bent down to get a closer look at what covered a lot of the floor.
Naruto suddenly looked nervous, and his eyes began to shift back and forth. "I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about." replied Naruto with and uneasy look about him.
"Naruto why is the floor red and sticky?" asked Mei as she swiped a little bit on to her fingers.
"Well I guess you could say it is red and sticky." Said Naruto as his attention was shifted to the floor. The three females immediately turned their slight ire towards Naruto, Doomsday just didn't care.
"Naruto what are we standing in?" asked Jeanne, looking a little uncomfortable that she was standing in an unknown substance.
"Would you believe it is a strawberry milk shake?" asked Naruto, only to get a dead pan from the three of them.
"Melted gum drops," more silence "Boat nectar," said Naruto hoping they would believe that.
"No Naruto," the three said in unison trying hard not to face palm.
"Some of Gods tears," said Naruto as he winced a little bit at saying the Holy name.
"The truth Naruto," said Mei as she was getting annoyed at his dodging the answer.
"Fine, I stilled my new chili ramen on the floor when Grayfia announced the first set of losses for Riser. It was so sudden that it made me just and spill it all over the floor." said Naruto as if it was the simplest thing in the world.
"NARUTO, we agreed on your weekly ramen consumption. You blew through that on the first day, you cannot have any more this week. And to make things worse, you spilled it all over the floor and obviously didn't bother to clean it up." A slightly miffed Mei reprimanded, as she used her magic to make the ramen go away.
"That is not what matters right now; Riser is down to two pawns left. After my two bishops and knights take the athletic field we will have a clear shot at Riser. Then by then Madara will have taken down her target and so will have Kara and Diana. Soon Riser himself will fall, and if he is anything like I imagine he will be it hilarious to watch Doomsday completely destroy him." said Naruto getting nods of agreement form the rest of the group, Doomsday looking especially please at getting to smash the puny little fire bird into the ground.
There chapter three is done, hope you guys liked it. Sorry it took so long with finals and school I had less time to write but with only one week left I will be able to update more often. Remember to vote on who you want to be paired with Laxus. It will either be Grayfia or Serafall. The one not picked, Kuroka, and Gabrielle will be in Naruto's harem by popular demand and maybe a few others. Vote and let me know, and as always suggestions are welcome flames will be ignored.
