A week passed and the two peerages met at the same spot as the Fallen attack. Riser saw the four against his full set and laughed. "This is ridiculous! Riser will crush you without a doubt."

"Then you won't mind a little wager on the game?" Kalin asked. "If we win, you call off this engagement to Rias."

Riser was shocked at the request, but regained his composure and replied, "Very well, but if Riser wins, he gets to kill you for what you pulled."

Kalin shrugged. "Fine with me." two circles appeared around them and they were warped inside the school. Over the intercom, Rias' voice could be heard. "The Rating Game between Riser Phoenix and Kalin Tikre is now underway. Kalin's base is the old school house building, and Riser's will be the principal's office in the new school building. We all know how this works, so I'll end by saying that pawns will be promoted when they reach the enemy base only." There was a pause. "Let the game BEGIN!"

"Just like we planned," Kalin instructed. The three girls nodded and all four left.


Kuroka leapt through the trees, setting traps as she went. "Kuroka," Kalin had instructed her before they had arrived, "You're our best trapper, so I'll leave that up to you. Make them doubt every step." the black neko laughed lightly as she set another trap.

"Just wait until they get a load of this." she muttered happily, setting another trap.


Talia ran through the forested area, thinking back to what Kalin had instructed. "You go hunting for any pawns. If they get within striking distance, take them out without hesitation." Seeing two girls with chainsaws running past her, the knight quickly moved in and brought out her katana, Satoki, and quickly cut the two down.

"Two pawns, Riser Phoenix, retired." Rias announced.

"Piece of cake." the knight laughed, before getting ambushed by two more pawns. "Slightly larger piece of cake," she admitted, "but cake nonetheless."


Sylvanas searched the skies for her target. "Sylvanas, I need you to use your Charm to get control of the queen. You'll know her by the black Kuroka-like dress and bomb staff. Once you've done that, give her the order to retire any of her peerage she comes across. This will be key to my plans."

Feeling a sudden magic surge, the banshee leapt away from her perch before it blew up. "Just the woman I was looking for." Sylvanas grinned.


Kalin sliced two rooks and a knight with his razor-sharp claws. "Game over for you three. Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" he called, slashing them again before they vanished.

"Two rooks and one knight, Riser Phoenix, retired." Rias declared. Kalin grinned at his achievement before Rias spoke again. "Two pawns, Riser Phoenix, retired."

"Way to go Talia." Kalin muttered before dodging a burst of flames with ease. "You need to do better than that if you want to sneak up on me." he advised, turning to see a blonde girl with a pink dress. "Aren't you the dodo's sister, Ravel?" he asked.

"That I am, and I'm going to take you down." Ravel replied before shooting another burst of flames.

"Looks tasty." Kalin commented, momentarily confusing the girl until he inhaled the flames. "I forgot to mention, magic doesn't work on me." he laughed.

"Why you, you can't eat it all!" Ravel screamed, sending burst after burst of fire, only to have Kalin inhale every bit. "But how?" she gasped. Kalin dashed toward her, and she readied herself for the pain f being struck, but it never came. WHen she opened her eyes(She had closed them reflexively) she saw a note floating in front of her. Snatching it out of the air, she read aloud, "Sorry I didn't finish things, but I don't want to mess up that pretty face." Blushing wildly, she let out a scream and gave chase.


Sylvanas pegged a bishop and the last four pawns before her new minion blew them all to light. "One bishop and four pawns, Riser Phoenix, retired." the banshee grinned at her success.

"Lord Kalin will be waiting for us, let's go." she instructed, leading the queen toward Riser.


Talia ran through the forest, soon meeting with Kuroka. "We had better get to Riser, Kalin will need some backup." the knight stated. The rook nodded and both broke into a sprint.


Kalin leapt up to the roof of the building, where Riser waited with a smug grin. "Riser sees you took out many of his peerage. He is most impressed. You still have to deal with my sister and my queen."

"Actually, your sister is probably still looking for me in the forest. I figured it was me you sent her after, but she never spotted me." Kalin lied smoothly. "As for your queen, she and my pawn are on very friendly terms with Sylvanas' Charm spell. In other words, you don't got jack shit." With that, Riser sent a jet of flames out, which his enemy quickly inhaled. "Good god, that's disgusting." The king complained. Riser let out a surprised gasp, followed by a pained one when Kalin smashed his fist into the Devil's stomach.

"Damn you!" Riser shouted, clutching his stomach in pain.

"I was right." Kalin smirked, "Your regeneration only works when you suffer an injury. Beat you black and blue, the same doesn't apply." An orange aura surrounded his fists. "Eat magic. Pilfered Power!" With that, the devil king began whaling on his opponent. "It can all end of you surrender." Kalin declared.

"Never!" The Phoenix replied angrily. What user tried to punch the man, but Kalin easily dodged.

"Game over, you lose." Kalin said coldly, bringing both fists down on Riser's head.

"Riser Phoenix, retired." Kalin noticed a hint of satisfaction in Rias' tone.


Back on earth, Kalin congratulated his friends on a well fought match. Rias appeared in a summoning circle. "Ms. Gremoey, what can I do for you?" The devil king asked innocently.

"Why did you do it?" She asked, "Why did you put your life on the line for a marriage that you had nothing to do with?"

"Why not?" Kalin replied, turning to leave and leaving Rias confused at his words.

Well, what did my 7 followers and 4 favorites think? Seriously, I can't believe the popularity of this story after only a few days of existing.
