Disclaimer: i do not own Highschool DxD

-Two Days Before the Wedding. Location: Kuoh-

Issei was seated at a park bench with Gilgamesh stretched out over the rest of the bench with her head in his lap peacefully sleeping in the afternoon sun.

"Ah issei there you are" An assertive voice called out from Issei's left. Issei turned to see a blonde man dressed in a mainly black formal outfit with a dark grey undershirt alongside a blonde haired woman who was dressed in a flowing white dress that shone in the daylight.

"You guys are late." Issei informed them as the man wrapped his arms around the woman's waist.

"Sorry we went sightseeing and took our time seeing this city." The man informed Issei who looked at said man with a scowl. "So why did you call us here Issei? We were quite content in France."

"I want you two to join my peerage, you guys, as much trouble as you guys are, are valuable and will give me more strategies in my coming fight." Issei answered as Gilgamesh slolwy opened her eyes and looked up at the two blondes.

"Wakey wakey sleepy head" The women stated as she leant down and smiled at Gilgamesh who was taken back by the sudden close proximity.

"Hello to you too Artoria" Gilgamesh greeted as she sat up next to Issei.

"So are you guys in?" Issei asked

"What are the consequences?" the man asked as artoria lean up and kissed the bottom of his chin.

"Oh c'mon Achilles, we get to spend time with Gil and maybe i'll get more alone time with her like last time." Artoria told her as Gilgamesh blushed slightly and turned away from the others.

"I'll have you know that won't happen again, we were drinking and we were both lonely while Achilles and Issei were out hunting." Gilgamesh quickly told her.

"But Gil…." Artoria began before issei and Achilles drowned the conversation out and continued with their conversation.

"You will be turned into a devil and will have to follow my wishes and not go against them or risk being a stray. Other then that there isn't any downside to be honest." Issei answered his question while Artoria continued to tease Gilgamesh who looked like she'd explode in rage sometime soon if it didn't stop.

"We'll accept your offer, plus it's been a while before i've been able to use my weapons" Achilles told him with a smile on his face as issei constructed a barrier around them to make sure no one could see the ritual that was about to take place.

Artoria stopped teasing Gilgamesh as issei bought out the knight piece for her and the rook piece for Achilles.

"I, Issei Valefor, herehby invite you to my peerage to serve under me till the end of all things" Issei chanted as the evil pieces glowed with a familiar red and green glow.

"I accept" Artoria and Achilles replied almost instantaneously as the evil pieces were absorbed into their body.

"Now let's go back to the underworld, we have some planning before the wedding in two days time." Issei informed them.

"Who's the lucky girl?" Artoria asked which caused Issei to inevitably scowl in anger.

"Some rich red head who i have no intention of marrying in the slightest" Issei grumbled as he teleported them all to the underworld while undoing the barrier that he had constructed. They had planning to do and he hoped that ophis had a plan to get him out of this.

-The Day of the wedding-

Issei had finished getting into his custom made suit and was currently getting cleaned up.

"Sir i have to say you clean up nicely" His tailor stated while she did his hair as well.

"Just get it over with already." Issei grumbled as the tailor finished up styling his hair.

"All done, try not to ruin the suit in your fight against Mr Phenex" The tailor informed him before she pack up her things and disappeared in a magic circle. Issei stood up and headed outside where his peerage was waiting for him, all dressed in draconic looking armour except for Gilgamesh, who was dressed in her shining gold armour.

"Is everyone ready to go?" issei inquired as he readied a magic circle.

"Yes my lord" His peerage chimed in unison as they stepped onto the magic circle. Issei stepped upon it next to Gilgamesh with his peerage behind him. The magic circle flared and soon they appeared in the middle of the hall where the wedding was to take place.

Everyone looked at him in shock as Riser moved towards him with an air of confidence.

"Glad you could finally make it half breed" Riser taunted as issei turned towards him with a passive face.

"Should we get this fight started Riser, i shall show you the strength of a dragon." issei replied as he flared his magic with Riser flaring his magic which matched Issei which caused everyone, even Issei to look at him with shock.

"I Have received the blessing of Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God and now i have the power to match you" Riser announced as everyone in the room collective gasped.

"Well then there is no reason for me to hold back now" Issei growled with a feral grin as both of them, along with their respected peerages, were teleported into the Rating game area that was constructed as a forest.

"Welcome to the Rating Game between Issei Valefor and Riser Phenex. I, Grayfia Lucifuge, will be your host for this eveing. The Rules are normal rating games rules, the match will end once one of the Kings have defeated or surrendered." A confident voice sounded around the stage and around the spectators who were all glued to the screen where both sides of the rating game field were shown. "Begin!"

Issei nodded to Gilgamesh as an array of gates opened behind her aimed towards the other side of the forest where Riser's peerage were.

"Be crushed under the might of my strength." Gilgamesh announced as she fired a continuous barrage of an assortment of weapons through the forest while Riser's peerage tried to evade the weapons but soon most were like pincushions.

"Risers 2 knights and 8 pawns retired" Grayfia announced as the audience all gasped in shock before a massive fireball came soaring towards Issei at high speeds.

"Mashu block it" Issei commanded as Mashu summoned her massive shield and stood in front of Issei as the fireball clashed with her shield pushing her back slightly before it exploded sending Mashu flying back but issei manage to catch her.

Issei looked up to see Riser hovering in the air with his flaming phoenix wings outstretched behind him.

"Riser's 2 bishops,2 Rooks and Queen retired" Grayfia announced as Riser pointed to Issei.

"Issei, have your peerage surrender and fight me one on one!" Riser shouted towards Issei, who simply nodded at his request with a massive grin.

"Issei's Peerage Retired" Grayfia announced as his peerage members vanished from the area.

"You've made the wrong choose Riser, now that they are gone i can release the dragon that has been dormant for so long" Issei announced as he and Riser both flared their magic as both were enveloped by their respected magic.
