Heya heya, Welcome back to the story. Up here where the cool kids sit, we answer to reviews and tell important stage directions. The bottom is where the nerds sit and they just tell you to leave and move on so stay up here and forget about the story.
Zeranvor: I'll try to add the dremora lords and their corny quotes in later in the story.
Dragon God, Razgriz, Blackmist: Thank you
Jack Vile Ripper: I'll try though you may be disappointed.
Now to our "important" stage directions
"Wow cool a dragon mommy!" Dragons
"Burn you failiure of a child," Magic
"Don't look at me i'm just watching the show!" Everything else.
"I'm the narrator" narrator
Leave now. You aren't cool if you actually read this so make your way down to the nerds with this annoying 1,438 words in your way.
"I, am Riser Phenex! Fiancé of Rias Gremory!" He shouted.
'What an Idiot,' Marick thought.
Paarthurnax made himself scarce, hiding behind the old school building and concealing his aura. He could hear what they were saying, though, because his sense of hearing is acute. The fallen angels hid with him, though they couldn't hear quite as well.
Riser scanned the crowd, separating Sona's peerage from Rias'. He noticed three odd ones out though. He glared at them and back to Rias and Sona. "Who are those people over there? The Blond and the two Brunettes? Step forward you three!" He demanded. Asia and Issei stepped forward, slightly fearful of Riser. Marick stood still, eying Riser with disgust.
Riser waited a moment for Marick to move up, and then walked up in front him. He had to look up slightly because Marick was taller than him. "Riser thought he made himself clear. I said step forward!" He yelled. "One can't move forward with trash in his way," Marick replied. Riser turned red. He was pissed. "DID YOU JUST CALL RISER TRASH? HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT A SON OF THE PHENEX FAMILY!"
Rias knew this was getting out of hand, and she knew one of them was going to start a fight, until another sigil, similar in color of that of ice, appeared next to the groups. "Grayfia!" She gasped.
Riser turned and looked to see Grayfia coming, and backed away from Marick ending their argument short. "Rias, there has been another change in schedule, you will be married to Riser in a month's time tops. However, since we already know you dislike Riser greatly, you can challenge him to a rating game or a one on one duel. Choose, or forever hold your peace," She finished.
"Then I Challenge Riser to a Rat-" Rias was cut off by Marick. "RIAS! Wait wait wait wait wait. I wish to repay your favor in letting me stay in your hold till I gain my bearings. I challenge this 'Riser' to a duel," He declared turning to Riser. Riser smiled and then started to laugh uncontrollably.
"You think you! A simple minded HUMAN, can beat beat ME, RISER? HAHAHAHAHHAHA!"
"And you a foolishly minded immortal thinking that you can't die, I have killed beings FAR more powerful than you!" Marick said letting some of his thu'um leak into his voice making the world start to shake as he spoke.
"I have killed hundreds of immortals that thought the same as you Riser, that they couldn't die, just know this, I could kill you with just three words."
Everyone stared at Marick in awe for he was the voice they had heard a few days before throughout the world, Grayfia stepped forward in a cordial manner and said.
"And what is your name servant?"
Marick looked at Grayfia in rage and with the thu'um spoke
"My name is MARICK! Please do not confuse me with a mere slave woman!" then shouted "LIIZ SLEN NUS!" (Ice Form) At Grayfia
Marick watched as his shout hit Grayfia and froze her solid, Marick walked forward towards the frozen form of Grayfia and flared his Magicka making everyone nearby drop to the ground painfully
When Marick reached Grayfia he stood in front of her frozen form and kicked the ice breaking her free from her icy prison.
"I am far stronger than you could imagine, you are but a baby in my eyes and just as weak, where I come from I walk among kings and I am the most well known person in my world, do you know any titles I have received throughout the years?
Marick looked at each one in turn, then said "Well then I'll name a few for the simple minded here, I am the Harbinger of the Companions, Archmage at the college of Winterhold, Guildmaster of the Thieves Guild, Leader of the Dark Brotherhood, Savior of Solstheim, High king of Skyrim, slayer of Miraak the first dragonborn on the heights of apocrypha and finally Dragonborn slayer of Alduin firstborn of Akatosh , the Harbinger of the end times."
Riser looked up at Marick and said "Who are you to tell an immortal what to do?"
"Because I myself am immortal but unlike you feeble minded morons I will live forever and when I do die I will rejoin my father Akatosh becoming a divine, a god"
Rias, Riser, Grayfia and the others stayed plastered to the ground because of his massive amount of power, but they stared up at him from the ground with wary awe
Paarthurnax Moved past the fallen angels because they too were plastered to the ground and stepped into the light in everyone's view and spoke with just as much thu'um.
"Dovahkiin! You seem to frighten these mortals!"
Marick turned and spoke to Paarthurnax.
"Ah! and where have you been, Paarthurnax?"
Riser managed to turn his head to look at the voice and was surprised to see a dragon.
"Straying from attention, fearing conflict! Though it seems they are conflicted with you more than I!" Paarthurnax spoke in a giddy tone. Marick repressed his magicka allowing the devils to stand, though it took them a minute.
"Ah I lost myself due to disrespect, but back to the point," Marick said looking at Riser. "Do you accept the challenge? Don't think about your opponent, think about the bloodline and how important it is that it stays pure! After all, if you really are immortal, then the best way to prove it would be in battle!" Marick said teasing Riser.
"Think about it. Riser, the strongest Phenex, puts a disrespectful whelp in his place, securing his Fiancé's love. After all, what just happened might just all be the power of the dragon there, in an attempt to scare you away from Rias. Even if I was i'm quite sure you and your little brigade could kill a dragon. But alas I'm only human, since Rias hasn't reincarnated me yet and she never will..." Rias nodded in agreement.
Riser was getting his buttons pushed. Win, and get Rias and put away a pathetic human whelp, or run away scared. It wasn't the Phenex way to run, after all, they are immortal, right? Riser was predictable after all. Weighing his options, he found that if he didn't accept the challenge he would lose Rias, the only suitor he could find that would fit his tastes for a long time. "Riser accepts the challenge from this human, and i'll give him three days time to prepare!"
Grayfia nodded at him, acknowledging his decision. "Sirzechs will be notified, and the Arena will be prepared shortly, three days of wait will be granted to Marick," Grayfia bowed and disappeared. Riser looked around for a moment, and did the same. He could be heard muttering "Filthy mutt," just before he disappeared.
"Stupid man," Marick growled. "Ah, three days of meditation will suit us well with this world," Paarthurnax suggested. "Your other skills have been mastered a long time ago, so perhaps a change in mind is what is you require,"
Marick spent his three days focusing on Paarthurnax's words of power. Fus, Feim, and Yol. Although he felt this meditation was unnecessary for his fight, he regained focus with the world. It would be easier for him to move and adjust now. The third night was spent making a costume for the fight, since he had nothing better to do as well as he liked to make a lasting impression. Soon all of the underworld will have nothing to talk about except for him.
Marick finished the costume as the dawning sun came up from the horizon. He tossed it to the side and fell through the floor into his personal storage space. He was ready to to duel a feisty chicken, and was in just the right mood too. Rias and Grayfia came to get him and Issei for the fight. "Riser says whenever you are ready, he will begin the game. Though i'm sure he is already sick of waiting," Grayfia says. "Then I guess it's Christmas for this chicken, I'm ready right now," Grayfia nodded and cast the teleportation spell.
Marick was respectively sent to the battleground. He quickly changed with the snap of his fingers, and was out on the field. "Today we have a battle between the newcomer and underdog of this fight, the so called 'Dragonborn' Marick. And on the other hand we have the experienced and confident Riser Phenex and his peerage. The fighters are now ready. The battle will begin in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… FIGHT!"
