All right, now that Summer Vacation begins to close, this chapter is special for a couple of reasons.

1. It's the finale of Season 1 for this series.

2. It's the last chapter that I'll write before my 23rd birthday.

3. There will be a LOT of references from 4 classic MS-DOS games. See if you can find them.

Now, before we get ready for the Season 1 Finale, let's take a look at the answers to our Quickie Quiz!

1. Elmo from 'Sesame Street' and Animal from 'The Muppet Show'

2. Mandy

3. Dungeons and Dragons

4. Colt Peacemaker

5. Jotaro Kujo from Shounen Jump's Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Bahn from Sega's Fighting Vipers

With those out of the way, let's update the scores.

TheLastNanaya; Enigma95 – 130 virtual cookies

Galaxy Burst – 65 virtual cookies

ConnivingG – 30 virtual cookies

SkylineMaster – 20 virtual cookies

And also, DeathOverLord and Code-Emperor07 have given me permission to use some of his skills, weapons, and other cool things for my next fanfiction stories, so I'm really excited about that, but that will have to come WAY, WAY later, because right now, I have a lot of ideas for Magical Devils and this one, so I'll be focusing on these two for the time being.

Now, without further delay, here's the season finale of The Legend of The Living Nightmare!


Last time on The Legend of The Living Nightmare…

Dayo manages to break Ikuraga's stone wall by telling her that she is not alone; she has him and her classmates as 'Family', thanks to the defeat of her arrogant brother.

And speaking of arrogant, another arrogant foe showed up at the Occult Research Club by the name of Raiser Phenex, and the OCR members were surprised to find out that he is Rias' and Lulu's fiancés.

Another shocking piece of news came up when Dayo reveals that he fought Grayfia and Sirzechs before, but lost due to being a child at that time.

Now, after going through 10 days of training, with Daidouji showing up as the strongest ninja of Hanzo Academy, it's now time to see if all of that training pays off.

As the clock begins to tick, the Rating Game between the Gremory sisters and Raiser Phenex inches closer and closer, as well as the rematch between Dayo and Grayfia.

The battles will be fierce and intense, so let's end Season 1 off with a BANG and a BOOM and other surprises, as we start Chapter 8 of…


The Legend of the Living Nightmare

[Great One] – Ddraig

/My Destined Master/ - Seiryū

{Knowledgeable One} – Suzaku

{Great Master} – Byakko

\Young Master\ - Genbu

"Dark Dayo"

[[Noble One]] – Tartarus (Dark Divine Dividing)


** In the Mansion; 6:00 AM **

(Dayo POV)

Well, this is it! The big day has finally arrived. In just 18 hours, I will finally have that long-awaited rematch with the Strongest Queen of the Underworld, the queen and wife of Sirzechs Lucifer, one of the Four Great Satans, Grayfia Lucifuge! Plus, I've heard from Daidouji that if I beat her, she'll give me some information about my forgotten childhood friend, Horizon Ariadust, which makes my willpower even stronger!

Also, the Rating Game between Rias and Lulu Gremory and Raiser Phenex will also occur as well! If I can beat Grayfia, then I can certainly defeat Raiser with my eyes closed! However, since Rias Gremory, Lulu Gremory and their peerages will be fighting him and his peerage without me, this has given me quite some concern.

However, before we got to any of that, I've already woken myself up at early morning while my sisters were still sleeping. Actually, Ddraig has woken me up early because….

[Great One, we need to talk.]

Ddraig, as well as Seiryū, Suzaku, Byakko, and Genbu, all wanted to discuss something with me. And that particular discussion is about the next level of their Sacred Gears…

…the Balance Breaker and Juggernaut Drive.

Chapter 8/Season 1 Finale: Operation D.E.S.T.R.O.Y.

Dayo

Evolves

Sacred Gears

To

Really New Heights to

Overpower the

Yakitori Bird Phenex


** At another private room at the Mansion; 6:30 AM **

'Balance Breaker and Juggernaut Drive, huh?' I asked.

[Yes. As you know by now, Balance Breaker is the Forbidden Move of us Sacred Gears. It's a state in which we Sacred Gears evolve to be able to release our full powers.] said Ddraig.

{But it's something of a "bug" or a glitch in the Sacred Gear system when God created it. Sacred Gears were made to help keep the balance of the world, but Balance Breaker is the opposite where it can cause a disruption to the balance of this world.} said Suzaku.

/And Juggernaut Drive is worse, My Destined Master. Only Ddraig, Albion, and Tartarus have this. Better known as the Dragon of Supremacy, they are considered to be EXTREME forbidden moves. The Juggernaut Drive temporarily removes the seal placed on the Heavenly Dragons and the Dragon God Tartarus, but in exchange, you and the one who has Albion will lose their sanity while their lives are devoured by the power./ said Seiryū.

{And that's not all. The other Sacred Gears that have creatures sealed inside also have Juggernaut Drive too, but they go under a different name called "Breakdown the Beast" (覇獣(ブレイクダウン・ザ・ビースト)Bureikudaun za Bīsuto), also known as the 'Beast of Supremacy', but functions the same way.} said Byakko.

'Wow. With this one small 'bug', the world could go into chaos…' I thought.

[You could also cause chaos to this world as well with just your powers after what your family of 'Demons' did to you.] said Ddraig.

\In fact, Young Master, there is one of the 'Demons' blood inserted in you as well. That blood belongs to the 'Demons' famous hero, The Dark Knight Sparda.\ said Genbu.

'Sparda?' I asked at first. Then it hit me.

'WAIT, WHAT?!'

That's right. Out of the 666 different blood levels of 'Demon', Angel, Fallen Angel, Devil, and Dragon injected in me, one of them was from the famous 'Demons' of all time, and the one that inspired me as well, the legendary Dark Knight Sparda.

From what I remember, before the Great War started, there was another war in our part of the Underworld, which was ruled by the Prince of Darkness, Mundus. The original Four Great Satans managed to push back Mundus for a bit, just enough time for Sparda to "wake up to justice" and he alone defeated Mundus and his legions. When sealing the netherworld, sensing his power had grown too strong, he intentionally sealed himself and his own demonic power in as well. Later, he escaped his prison and quietly reigned the human world and continued to preserve harmony. Before his death, he resurfaced in the modern day and married Eva, who gave birth to his twin sons, Dante and Vergil. Unfortunately, after his death, Eva was killed not long after when the remaining forces of Mundus moved in for the kill out of vengeance towards Sparda.

Dante and Vergil tried to live out with their parents' legacy, but they mysteriously disappeared without a trace after getting attacked by surprise from a few rogue Devils. Maybe that part alone could explain why the 'Demons' hate the Devils to this day.

And now, I'm the last of the 'Demons', so I have to make sure that I won't let them or my family down. The best part is that with the blood of Sparda in me, now I have the abilities and utilization of fire and electricity in addition to my usual ice and dark abilities in my Demon Heritage. Most of all, there is this very special ability that Sparda used to have: Devil Trigger.

Devil Trigger is a special power possessed by demons and demonic hybrids which allows them to release their full supernatural potential. While in Devil Trigger, the user will assume their true form. In this form, many of the character's physical and magical attributes are amplified, and the character may have access to upgrades or even additions to their normal abilities like flying or hovering.

'Wow! This is awesome! Th-!' was I all I could say knowing that I was very excited, but then all of a sudden, an idea came into my head. I've decided to talk to Dark Dayo and see on what he thinks.

'Yo, Darkie!'

"Yeah, what?"

'I just got an idea!'

** 5 minutes later **

"Hahahahahahahahahaha! Now THAT is a GREAT idea! That Phenex birdbrain will sure get the Nightmare of his life!" laughed Dark Dayo.

'Indeed! Now I should tell Ddraig and the others about this. Hey, Ddraig! I just thought up of an idea!'

[Oh, do tell, Great One.]

** Another 5 minutes later **

[Fuahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I never knew that the Great One would actually go THIS far to do something like THIS!] said Ddraig, feeling more excited.

\But Young Master, you do realize that you may have to make a huge sacrifice to this plan, right?\ asked Genbu.

'Indeed, I do, and since I'm the grandson of The Great Red, this is a sacrifice that I'm willing to make without having any second thoughts!' I told them.

{Yes! With a plan this crazy, this awesome, and this flawless, that this will DEFINITELY work!} said Byakko.

{But how are you going to do all this before midnight tonight, Knowledgeable One?} asked Suzaku.

'Well….'

** At the SuperComputer Room **

Grace is currently working on the supercomputer, MEMOL, when she noticed me coming in.

"Master Dayo!" said Grace, a little startled. "What are you doing here early in the morning?"

"Grace, I want to show you something," I said to her. "Boosted Gear, Activate!"

[Dragon Booster!] The Boosted Gear was now on my left arm, leaving a gaping Grace.

"Whoa! W-W-What is that?!" asked Grace, surprised.

"This is one of my Sacred Gears, Boosted Gear!" I told her. "And here…"

I showed her the compass.

"…is the Medallion of Justice, which also has Sacred Gears in each direction, with the Golden Dragon in the center."

"I-I-I didn't know that you have that!" said Grace.

"I know. I know. I'll tell more about these Sacred Gears in a bit, but first, could you do me a favor?"

"What kind of favor is it?" she asked.

I only smiled at her.

** 15 minutes later; At the Technology Lab **

Inside the lab, Ikuyo and Airi are working on their latest invention, and needless to say, Airi doesn't look impressed, knowing that this invention could also mean trouble in the future.

Luckily, Grace and I showed up to stop their progress.

"Master! What brings you here?" asked Ikuyo.

"But moreover, what is that on left arm?" asked Airi.

"This is my Sacred Gear, Boosted Gear!" I told them.

"Sacred Gear?" they both asked.

** 5 minutes later **

"Wow! To think these things are powerful enough to destroy a good chunk of Earth! This is very interesting," said Airi.

"And what I want you to do is to call all of the workers for this department, and as quick as you can, please," I said.

"Will do, Master!" said Ikuyo.

** 20 minutes later **

All the workers for the Technology and Research department showed up, each amazed by looking at the Sacred Gears that I have.

"All right, listen up!" said Grace, with everyone getting her attention. "Master has a very special project for all of you, but the problem is, we don't have much time. He wants it to be completed before 11:30 PM tonight!"

"So you all must work off your $$es like you never have before, and show yourselves why you're here!" said Airi. "Understood?!"

[YES!] replied the other workers.

"Good!" said Ikuyo with a serious face. "Now here are the materials that required before this project can even begin."

"And I already got some of them on that table over there," I said, pointing to the table which was filled with various weapons that BJ has given me during our missions, including a rocket launcher, laser tech equipment, heavy machine guns, a flamethrower, and an exclusive, the Plasma/Lightning Gun!

The maids were once again amazed by the weapons, and I have a LOT more where that came from, but these will do for now.

"Right! Now there's no more time to waste! Grab all the materials as fast as possible and let's get to work!" said Ikuyo.

[YES!] the others replied.

[We may not be able to understand some of that technical stuff, but can tell- no, sense that what you're working on could truly fit for the holder of two powerful dragons like myself and Tartarus, and maybe even for the Gods inside the Medallion.] said Ddraig.

'Well, we just have to hope that all of this pays off,' I thought in particular, getting a little bit anxious. I was also going to be part of the project, too. Let's just hope that the others don't mind on me being absent for the entire day.

[[SORRY! THIS PROJECT IS TOP SECRET! FAST FORWARD TO 11:00 PM!]]

** At the Kuoh Academy Old-School Building **

It was exactly only one hour left before the two big battles commence. Rias Gremory and her peerage are currently in the Occult Research Club, waiting for the others to arrive.

Not long after, Lulu Gremory and her peerage arrived, along with the Hanzo girls who are already in ther Ninja Turnovers.

"OK, now after thinking for a while, this is what I came up with," said Lulu.

While Yukina is her official Queen, Nate is her official Knight, Suzu is her official Bishop, Tomo is her official Rook, Mary as her other official Bishop, and Medaka as her usual temporary Queen, Lulu decided to place Katsuragi as her temporary Rook, Hibari and Yagyuu as her temporary Pawns, Ikuraga as Rias' temporary Knight, and Asuka as Rias' temporary Pawn.

Rias' Peerage:

King: Rias Gremory

Queen: Akeno Himejima

Knight: Yuuto Kiba

Bishop: Asia Argento

Rook: Koneko Toujou

Temporary Knight: Ikuraga

Temporary Pawn: Asuka

Lulu's Peerage:

King: Yumari "Lulu" Gremory

Queen: Yukina Himejima

Knight: Nate Mitotsudaira

Rook: Tomo Asama

Bishop: Mary Stuart

Bishop: Suzu Mukai

Temporary Rook: Katsuragi

Temporary Pawn: Yagyuu

Temporary Pawn: Hibari

"Why do I have to be a Pawn?!" Asuka whined.

"That's because you'll be an important part of the game," a mysterious voice said.

That mysterious voice belonged to me as I came in, along with Medaka.

"And what's good about being a 'Pawn', in which I've just told my Darkwater Team about it not too long ago, is that once you get into an enemy's territory, you get to 'Promote' yourself into any other chess piece except the King piece. You also get to do that as long as you have permission from the King as well, but this cannot happen in Rating Games like this one. Pawns are usually underestimated because of their low rank, but when 'Promotion' occurs, you can give your enemies a big surprise and a big change in the game."

"Really?!" asked Hibari. "Then Hibari won't be so useless after all!"

Yagyuu simply smiled, knowing that Lulu may have made the right call.

"In addition to that," I continued, "there are also Mutation Pieces. In a case if reviving a person requires more than one piece, then using one Mutation Piece would be sufficient in reincarnating that person instead of having to use several pieces. Mutation Pieces can be a Queen, Rook, Knight, Bishop, or Pawn. They are said to be very rare, and only 1 out of 10 Devils possess the Piece. Normal Evil Pieces can also change into Mutation Pieces, each with different values."

"I-Incredible…" said Katsuragi.

"Yes, and I've told that to my team and my sisters as well, in which, by the way, they are back home, under Grayfia's orders. Don't worry though, my familiar Tabby will be there to comfort them," I said to the others.

** Back at the Mansion; 5 minutes earlier **

"You are going to stay here until further notice. And don't even think about trying to escape out of the house, especially since Konoe is guarding," said Grayfia in a cold tone, who was in the Master Bedroom with the 3 sisters, all holding on to each other.

"Now, if you'll excuse me. I have a match to attend to," said Grayfia, disappearing under the Gremory circle not long after. The Hizuki sisters didn't dare speak to one another, fearing that Grayfia might come back soon, and that's not all….

Outside the room were those triplets, Lemon, Marron, and Melon, all also holding to dear life, as they couldn't believe of what they just saw.

"I-I-I-I-Is that Grayfia?!" asked Lemon.

"Oh, I hope not! She's even more strict than Konoe when she works here!" said Marron.

"Well, let's get out of here before she or Konoe catches us!" said Melon as the triplets ran back to their duties.

** At the Occult Research Club; 11:40 PM **

So since the Fallen Angels, Elizabeth, and the Hizuki sisters are absent, and we only got 20 minutes before the matches start, I've decided to make the members cool down for a bit.

I went to Rias and Lulu, and they were both surprised to see me approach them calmly.

"Yes, Dayo?" asked Rias.

"Hold still and relax," I said, getting behind them.

"Is he doing of what I think he's doing?" asked Katsuragi.

"Nonsense! He won't do anything DECENT like this, right?" asked Ikuraga.

"No way," I said, before giving the Gremory sisters some good meditation with a few massages.

** 5 minutes later **

"Ahh~~! That felt good~~" said Rias, putting on a pleasant face.

"It sure does~~" said Lulu, feeling better after having whatever stress is inside her, is now completely erased.

"Girls? Do you want the treatment, too?" I asked the rest.

They all nodded quickly within a split second.

"Well…since you're all as nervous, I might as well. Tell me what kind of treatment you want."

The other girls cheered while Rias and Lulu pouted their faces in jealousy.

** 5 minutes later **

Wow. That was hard work. For me to give the girls all types of massages such as the Breema, Chair Massage, Chinese Tui Na and Zhi Ya Massage, which Ikuraga enjoyed so much, Deep Muscle therapy, Effleurage, Myoskeletal alignment technique, Neuromuscular Therapy, Thai Massage, Erotic Massage, which Katsuragi liked and many others. I practiced these types of massages in Egypt while being an undercover agent for the G.I. Joe team.

The girls now felt better after the treatment, and as the girls began to drink some green tea that Akeno and Yukina made, I think it's time for me to give them all some weapons to increase their chances of winning the Rating Game.

"All right, Akeno, Yukina, and Yuuto. Here are some special weapons for you guys to use," I said to them as I handed the Himejima sisters 2 rifles, and Yuuto a special sword.

"Akeno, Yukina and Yuuto. I want you three to use these. Yuuto, knowing that you are a great swordsman, how about you give the Fox Blade a try. The Fox Blade is a straight-bladed "chokuto" sword, and it is exactly the same sword used by the original cyborg ninja, Gray Fox, with its description also implying that Fox's soul is encased within the sword. Effectively a cheat sword, it is essentially the same as the HF Blade in terms of stats but is capable of ignoring armor.

"The Fox Blade can instantly cut all forms of armor (parts which soak up damage and turn blue) as though they were blue and it were in Blade Mode, which makes it extremely powerful against strong enemies; in normal mode, a single strike is capable of cutting a weak enemy in half. Against regular unarmored foes it is effectively always in Blade Mode. It cannot do anything to parts which deflect strikes, making it of less use against the enemies."

"Thank you, Dayo. But are you sure?" asked Yuuto.

"I'm sure. I've also installed a mini-computer on the weapons. So you'll be getting data as you fight," I said.

"But I already have a Sacred Gear that makes swords," said Yuuto.

"Then try combining the Fox Blade with your swords. This sword does have a lot of power."

"I understand."

"Akeno, Yukina, even though you 2 have a lot of magic, remember that magic has its limits, so use these 2 rifles I'm lending you. This is D57-A extreme environment tactical pulse rifle. The Pulse Rifle is shown to be very powerful as it was capable of taking down several guards with one shot. The rifle itself looks more like an automatic grenade launcher but fires several rounds with no sign of any magazines. I already have the safety off and the knob on the left side changes its element. It's currently in lightning mode. It reloads one shot every 10 seconds and maxes out at 6 shots. Use it when you're recharging your magic," I explained to them.

"OK, Dayo!" Akeno and Yukina said.

"Tomo, I want you to use this," I said as I handed out the crossbow. "This is 15P Laser-Guided, Solid Alloy Compound Crossbow with Scope. It fires a guided arrow and the string is in fact two parallel beams. It's capable of taking down a strong armored enemy if aimed properly but it's weak against metal, so be aware of that. The crossbow comes complete with a camera that can replay anything it was pointed at and also acts as a targeting system, so in case if your Konoha technique begins to wear out, this will be a good replacement. And what's cool about this weapon is even though the arrow may miss the target, it can still hit its mark without any problems."

"Wow…Thanks, Dayo!" said Tomo, giving me a charming smile, while her bust shook for a little bit. I quickly turned away, only to see Sona Sitri and her peerage come in.

"Good evening, everyone," Sona greeted.

"Who's she?" asked Asuka.

"Ah, yes. Asuka, Ikuraga, Katsuragi, Yagyuu, Hibari. This is Souna Shitori, the President of the Higher-Level Student Council," I said to them as the Hanzo girls bowed down in respect.

"Very respectful people," said Sona as she smiled at them.

"What is Sona doing here?" Mary asked Akeno, but Rias answered her.

"Souna will be the Third Party of the Game, and they will be announcing eliminations," Rias explained.

"And since Dayo will be fighting Grayfia, in which I believe is Downright Suicidal, we've volunteered for this job. After all, it's Rias' and Lulu's first Rating Game," Souna said.

"And we intend to put up a good show to show you that we're your worthy rivals," Lulu said smugly, hiding the fact that she and Lulu had a secret weapon for this Game.

Souna grinned. "Oh, you have proven it many times over. You two have recruited people with very special abilities, along with Divine Weapons, managed to make some Fallen Angels a part of your club, and one is someone every Devil, Fallen Angel, and Angel wanted to recruit," Souna said.

"But usually it only takes two people to relay the game. Why is your entire peerage here?" Rias asked.

"They simply wanted to watch," Souna answered.

"Oh! By the way, Rias, I've heard that you have another Bishop and he or she is not here. Care to explain that?" I asked.

"Unfortunately, the other Bishop can't participate. I will talk about that in the near future", said Rias without looking at me.

Before anyone could say anything more, a magic circle appeared and Grayfia came out from it.

Everyone turned towards her as the beautiful gray-haired maid-garbed woman cleared her throat to speak.

"Everyone, are your preparations complete?" Grayfia asked.

"We are ready," Rias answered for her group.

"So are we," said Lulu for her group.

"When the time comes, this portal will transport you to the battleground," Grayfia said, indicating the portal behind her that was still glowing.

"Battleground?" Yagyuu asked, not being completely informed about the Game.

"The place where the Game takes place. It's a replica of a real place and completely disposable so you can blow up anything you want. Ufufufufu." Akeno explained and she and Yukina giggled sadistically.

"All right! Then we can go all out, and not have to get into any trouble!" said Katsuragi, getting more and more excited.

"Then we will return to the Student Council Room to do our part. Good luck Rias and Lulu." Sona said and turned to leave, until she saw Yura going over to my direction and with a familiar faint blush on her face, spoke to me briefly.

"Good luck Dayo; don't lose," the blue-haired girl said with a smile.

Momo and Kusaka started to grit their teeth because Yura had again taken a head start. Genshirou didn't like her obvious attraction to me, but after receiving a glare from me, he smiled at me while sweating bullets.

Out of the corner of her eye, Tsubaki and the other Higher-Level Student Council girls also looked at me very quickly without anyone noticing. Koneko and Suzu caught it, though.

Once Sona and her crew had left the room, Grayfia turned to Rias.

"This Rating Game battle will be viewed by members of both households from a different location by broadcast. Also by the Headmaster of the academy's request, my good friends at Dayo's mansion, and the Hanzo Academy will be watching as well as Lord Lucifer. Please do not forget about it."

"So, our brother is watching the game, too," said Lulu as she and Rias are a little bit surprised.

"Uh... Is Hibari missing something here?" Hibari asked.

"Are you confused? Rias and Lulu's brother is the Great Satan watching the game," I said.

"Yes, when he became Lord Lucifer, he changed his last name from Gremory", said Yuuto as I continued from there.

"In the previous war Great War, where I was the main cause of this, I killed all 4 of the original Four Great Satans. But there would be no devils if there isn't any Great Satan."

"That's why..." continued Akeno. "To tell you the truth, out of the three factions of God, Fallen Angels, and Devils, the devils have the least power. We are actually in a tight spot but we are still safe because the current Four Great Satans are as strong as the previous Four Great Satans."

"And should I get out of control again, the current Four Great Satans could all end up as dead as a doornail, like the original Four Great Satans," I said, sending shivers to the others except for Grayfia, who made a small glare at me.

"Sirzechs Lucifer is also known as Crimson Satan. He is President Rias's and President Lulu's brother and the most powerful Great Satan... That's why our 2 Presidents have to inherit the house," said Medaka.

"I see…" said Ikuraga.

"And since I'm battling you Dayo, all of the other households are watching this match, as well as the Fallen Angels and Heaven, I'm afraid," said Grayfia.

"EH?!" asked Rias in surprise. "You mean the other 34 households?!"

"Which also means…" I sighed in annoyance.

** In the Underworld **

"So, Dayo is battling against the Strongest Queen, eh? This should be good," said Azazel.

** In Heaven **

"Brother, Yant told me that Dayo is battling Grayfia," said Gabriel.

"Dayo is battling Grayfia?!" asked Michael. "Well then, tell the others about this, so we could see this for ourselves."

Gabriel nodded and went off to find the other Angels.

** Back at the Occult Research Club **

"Just thinking this is not only making me a little bit embarrassed, but also loses some of my focus," I scratched my head in annoyance. Now I have to figure out a way on how to calm myself down.

Wait a minute. It just occurred to me. What's taking Ikuyo and the others so long about the update?

** Back at the Mansion **

"Hurry up, Grace! Master could get very cross at us if we don't send the Sacred Gears back to him soon!" said Ikuyo.

"I'm trying! I'm trying!" said Grace, typing as fast as 75 words per minute. "I didn't know that this 'bug' would be this complicated to fix, but I'm a supercomputer user, so one way or another, I'll be fixing these 'bugs' once and for all!"

"And I'll help!" said Airi. After all, she is half-cyborg, so seeing 'bugs' shouldn't be a problem for her.

** Back at the Occult Research Club **

It is now 11:55 PM. Looks like the Sacred Gears are going to have to wait after my match with Grayfia. I'm not too worried about it, though. I got some other weapons with me, but I want to show her some of my own powers.

It was that Rias stood up and spoke to everyone.

Rias stood up and spoke to everyone.

"Let's go then." the Crimson Princess said.

"And good luck, Dayo," the Amethyst Princess said.

"Thanks," I said. "And make sure that you beat that fiery birdbrain Raiser down to his very last core!"

[YES!] the others replied.

The group went to stand in the portal what Grayfia had made ready for them. Grayfia and I were at another magic circle. As I waved goodbye to them, there was a bright flash that nearly blinded everyone. When the Gremory groups looked again they were standing in their clubroom, only this time, Grayfia, Medaka and I weren't there.

"Did the transportation fail or something?" asked Asuka.

Before Rias could answer, the voice of Grayfia spoke up.

"Everyone, Medaka Kurokami will be the referee for this Rating Game. Lady Souna Sitri will be relaying this match to the people watching this battle. After consulting with both parties, we have agreed to have the battle in the replica of the school where Lady Rias and Lady Yumari attends."

"Look outside Asuka," Rias said as the Hanzo girls looked outside the window. Asia and Mary looked outside as well. The sky looked like a green aurora with hints of red flashes.

"This is an illusionary space," Yuuto explained.

"They copied Kuou Academy where we will fight," Akeno said.

"Is there no limit to the Devils power?" Katsuragi asked in amazement.

"The places where you are right now are your headquarters. Rias and Lulu's headquarters is the Occult Research Club." Medaka announced.

** At an unknown place **

Grayfia and I were transported to another location inside the Underworld. In fact, we happen to be outside of the Gremory Palace inside the Underworld.

Luckily, it was only me and Grayfia here, but there are thousands of cameras, on the ground and in the air, looking at both of us.

I'm currently wearing my Cha$e suit with dark sunglasses that is actually used to check stats of the opponents and find their heat as well. Grayfia is now wearing a black maid suit with some cleavage showing.

"So, how do I look?" asked Grayfia.

I blushed madly. "You look g-great…" I answered.

"Still having some of the gynophobic problems…." Grayfia sighed. "One way or another, I'll cure that problem of yours by letting Rias, Lulu and some of the girls seduce you. I have to let Kimi know."

"K-Kimi?!" I asked in disbelief.

"As a servant of both Sirzechs Lucifer, a great friend of Mariel in your household, and the Gremory household, I sometimes work at your mansion as well."

I could only let my jaw drop, not believing of what I heard. I decided to drop that for now.

"W-Well. We'll talk later about that, but right now, it's time for our rematch! Are you ready?" I asked as my hand began to glow and summoned my artifact sword, Ensis Exsecror Zwei.

"I'm looking forward to this. However, I won't go easy on you," said Grayfia in a voice colder than ice. Any other being would feel frightened when faced with such an intimidating person. However, for me, I've seen worse things than this, so I simply smiled.

Grayfia creates numerous magic circles, and I quickly braced for her attacks.

And now, at long last, the battle between the 'Nightmare of the Underworld' and 'The Strongest Queen' begins!

** In the Gremory Palace **

(3rd-Person POV)

Inside the Palace was none other than Sirzechs Lucifer, who is looking at both screens. One for the Rating Game, and the other for Dayo's match.

"So, Dayo Kayode. Show my wife that you got what it takes to defeat her, for there is a surprise waiting for you…" he chuckled to himself.

** At Kuoh Academy **

In the Student Council Room, Sona and her peerage were all sitting in front of four large 90-inch television screens that had been given to them specifically for the Rating Game. Each television was divided up into four separate screens. The two televisions on the right were to show Rias, Lulu and their peerages, the two televisions on the left were to show Raiser and his peerage. Sona actually smiled at the fact that they would be allowed to keep the televisions for participating as the Third Party for this Game. This is how they would be monitoring the game.

Sona turned to her Queen.

"Tsubaki," she said.

"Yes," her queen replied and brought up the screen where they saw Raiser with his harem.

Souna bristled as she saw Raiser was holding the two maid girls in his arms, his hands draped around their shoulders and clutching their breasts.

** In the Middle-Level Student Council Room **

"Raiser's headquarters is the Principals Office. Pawns can be promoted if they infiltrate the opposing teams' headquarters," Medaka continued.

** At Raiser's Headquarters **

Raiser spoke to his women.

"Well, since that Dayo is going to battling with Grayfia, he has already signed his death sentence. Also, since Medaka is the referee, this will be too easy for you, so crush them totally. And remember, the one to defeat BOTH Rias and Lulu Gremory will get to do whatever she wants with Dayo Kayode," Raiser said.

Some of them started to get more anxious about going out and claiming Dayo to themselves.

** At an unknown place **

The silver-haired girl was reading her book, when suddenly the TV screen turned on by itself. She's shocked at what she sees.

"D-Dayo?!" she asked. Then, for some unknown reason, she had a feeling that he was going to save her, so she decided to watch.

** At the Gremory's Headquarters **

Rias, Koneko and Akeno gave everyone a small pink ball of light. Rias explained that it was for communication. All they had to do to use it was to say the name of the person they wanted to talk to first. After everyone had inserted it in their ears, they went to Rias' desk where she had a map of the school laid out.

"The shortest route to Raiser's headquarters is through the school yard, which will be heavily guarded," Rias said, looking at the map of the school.

"They will see us clearly," Koneko stated.

"Yes. The risk is too high," Tomo said.

"Then how about flanking positions from the track field?" Ikuraga asked.

"I guess they are anticipating for that as well. He has probably placed a knight and a rook in this clubhouse near the track field to keep an eye on it," Lulu said, pointing to the shed near the field.

"President, how about securing the gymnasium first? It would be our forward position for attack and it connects the two areas," Nate suggested.

"If this were chess, the gymnasium would be the center of the school, and whoever secures it first will have an attacking advantage," Yukina added.

Rias and Lulu seemed to think on that. "I think that would work. But since it's indoors, a rook will do better than a knight. But first we need to set a defensive line," Rias said.

Lulu then continued, "Asuka, Ikuraga, Katsuragi, Yagyuu, Hibari, the Rating Game is originally a game that doesn't finish in a short time. There are times when it becomes a blitz, but mostly it's a game that takes very long. Just like the actual game of chess. The Rating Game has meaning only if you use the battlefield to the fullest. Usually the base would be a fortress, castle or a tower. There are forests and rivers between the two bases and we battle using those areas. This time the battlefield is the school. Yuuto, Koneko, I want you to set some traps in the woods."

"Sure," Yuuto said.

"Roger…." Koneko replied.

"Akeno, once the traps are set, you and Yukina will create mist in the woods so that their vision will be impaired," Rias said to her queen and Lulu's queen.

"Yes, President," the Himejima sisters said.

"Ikuraga, I want you to follow Yuuto and Koneko, and Katsuragi, I want you to follow Akeno and Yukina. This is to make sure that Raiser's enemies doesn't give them a surprise attack," said Lulu.

"Yes!" both Ikuraga and Katsuragi said as they exited the room with Yuuto, Koneko, Akeno and Yukina.

"And now, the most important part. Asuka, Yagyuu, and Hibari, you three must not be eliminated at any cost. And that includes you, Suzu, as your hearing senses are proven to be very important in this game. Which means that you three have the means we need to take out Raiser. So after taking out Raiser's forces at the gym, you three will try to sneak into the main building from the back along with Nate and Tomo, in which they will catch up after they defeat their enemies. If you encounter resistance, eliminate them if you can, but if not, Nate and Tomo will come quickly and hold them off while you run to the Principals Office and promote yourselves to Queen," Rias explained.

"Y-Yagyuu! Do you think we can do this?" asked Hibari who was clearly worried.

Yagyuu nodded to her, and smiled at her, silently telling her that they are not alone.

"Yes, President!" said Asuka.

"Dayo gave me this Timer Bomb and we all placed enough power and magic to neutralize Raiser's healing powers. This is our secret weapon against him. With it, we have a real chance of winning. Once you get promoted eliminate any enemies that come your way until Lulu and I get there with Asia and Mary. We will then face him together," Rias explained.

Tomo and Nate nodded now that they understood her plan. Asuka, Yagyuu and Hibari all nodded thereafter.

** At the woods **

Yuuto and Koneko were placing various traps around the perimeter of their clubhouse to alert the ones inside of the enemy and to stop them if possible. Their familiars and Ikuraga were helping to place the traps so they didn't have to take their guard down to place them. Ikuraga added some additional traps for good measure since she's a Ninja.

Akeno and Yukina had their familiars place some more powerful traps in places where they enemy would most likely come, while Katsuragi placed some traps for misdirecting the enemies.

** Outside the school building **

Nate and Tomo were walking to the back of the school building through the small path what the Cross Country Club often used for exercise. It wasn't marked on the map so Rias and Lulu thought that Raiser didn't know about it.

"Is there really a back entrance in this school?" Nate asked.

"Not an actual entrance, but there are windows and a maintenance door," Tomo answered.

** At the Gremory's Headquarters **

"OK everyone. Now it's the time for the commencement of the battle. Now this match will continue untill dawn in the humans' time. Then, Game start!" yelled Medaka as the school bell rang.

"Presidents, can you hear me?" Akeno voice sounded off, with one of the cameras zooming in on Akeno and Yukina standing on a tree branch with their hand on their comm devices in their ear, looking over the school, with another camera zooming on Rias and Lulu in the replica of the clubroom, doing the same.

"Yes, we can hear you," said Rias.

"The preparations are complete," said Yukina.

Rias nodded as Koneko, Asuka, Yagyuu, and Hibari exited the room. "Now, Koneko, Asuka, Yagyuu, Hibari, you won't be able to avoid a battle once you enter the gym. That position is of great importance. Ikuraga will join Yuuto, while Nate and Tomo are secretly walking around the building for signs of any enemies. Katsuragi will join you shortly. Make sure you follow either my orders or my sister's orders."

"Roger!" Koneko, Asuka, Yagyuu, and Hibari confirmed.

"Yuuto, are you ready?" Rias asked her knight, who's in the forest area of the replica school.

"Everything's looking good on my end, and awaiting your signal."

"How about you, Nate and Tomo?" asked Lulu.

"We're ready to go and awaiting your command!" said Nate as she and Tomo are at the sides of the school building.

"Asia, Mary, Suzu, remain here with us on standby. We'll move out when victory is close at hand. You cannot be allowed to get taken. To us, your abilities are important to us too," said Lulu.

"Y-Yes!" said Asia, Mary, and Suzu at the same time.

"Akeno and Yukina, please be ready and wait for the right moment to strike."

"Yes, President!" both said Akeno and Yukina, getting the guns ready.

Rias and Lulu smiled. Everything was in place. In fact, Rias' and Lulu's incomplete Peerages combined totals 16, while Raiser and his complete peerage also equals to 16, so this battle could go either way!

"Then let's begin! Our adorable servants, our opponent is Raiser Phenex, a man considered promising talent even along his immortal clan!" said Rias.

"Now, as Dark Dayo would say, let's fry that birdbrain son-of-a-b*tch down to the ground and let him get a taste of his own medicine! Commence operation!" said Lulu.

"YES, PRESIDENTS!" their servants and temporary servants chorused as they started to move.

** At the match between Dayo and Grayfia **

Dayo and Grayfia have been battling each other out for the past 10 minutes, and right now, Dayo is on the defensive as Grayfia is giving him no chance to attack, but thanks to his Zweihandler, most of Grayfia's attacks have been deflected.

'Man! Most of her attacks are strong, but now it's my turn!' thought Dayo as he raised his hand up to the sky. "BLIZZARD CREATION!"

There was a series of flashes, blinding Grayfia temporarily. When Grayfia got her vision back, she's surprised to see the arena now completely covered in snow, and a huge ice storm is covering both of them, and the temperature has been dropped dramatically to sub-zero temperatures!

"W-What…How did you do that?!" asked Grayfia in astonishment.

"Well, we 'Demons' are very powerful in terms of Ice and Dark abilities, and we usually perfect them within weeks of training," Dayo said.

"You do realize that I'm very skilled in Ice too, right?" asked Grayfia.

"Yes, I know. You may think that we both have the advantage in an icy area like this, but you'll be surprised at what kind of moves I do here," he told her.

"Well, we'll see," said Grayfia as suddenly, 500 large icicles appear around her, and threw them to Dayo at ludicrous speed!

'With a big ice storm like this, this will be harder for me to avoid them! Taking evasive action!' Dayo thought as he avoided the large icicles one by one.

Then, the storm got worse as wind began to get stronger and more snow started to fall, bringing the visibility down to poor.

'It's a good thing that these glasses can detect the heat from my opponent,' he thought. 'Now, let's see if she can avoid this!'

Dayo quickly manages to freeze some snow around him, and perform a series of snowballs, and threw them towards Grayfia.

Grayfia, seeing the snowballs, manages to avoid them, and just in time to see one of the large statues become completely frozen in thin ice instantly!

"I thought those were snowballs!" said Grayfia.

"You may think they are, but they're actually hailstorm balls!" Dayo explained. "Using hailstorm balls means that you have to create enough snow to make a snowball, and on the inside would be large chunks of ice with some magic inside them and freezing at sub-zero temperatures."

Grayfia then summoned two swords made of ice, and proceeded to charge to Dayo, but Dayo blocks her attacks once again, only to have her swords melted.

"Wh- How?!" asked Grayfia.

"Allow me to show you another one of my abilities: Ice-Fire Manipulation," Dayo said as began to form some ice balls and fireballs together, while Grayfia prepares to attack again, knowing that the outcome could be a bit catastrophic.

** Back to the Rating Game **

Asuka, Yagyuu, Hibari, and Koneko reached the backstage of the gymnasium without resistance. Koneko and Yagyuu peeked around the corner to look at the dark exercise ground.

Then suddenly the lights came on.

"We know you're there, slaves of Rias Gremory and Yumari 'Lulu' Gremory. Come on out!" They heard a mature woman yelling.

"We're being spotted already?!" asked Asuka.

"That means that there's a ninja around here as well," said Yagyuu.

They walked to the middle of the stage and looked at the four women of Raiser's harem.

Koneko remembered who they were. Xuelan the rook, Mira the pawn, and Ile and Nel the twin child-like pawns. The Hanzo girls sense that the Chinese fighter was the one who saw them.

"I wondered what took you so long," Mira said.

"Grr. I still can't believe that Dayo isn't here!" Xuelan exclaimed in frustration, already knowing that he is battling Grayfia.

"Heeeeeh! Why isn't that blond boy here?!" The chainsaw twins whined.

Koneko narrowed her eyes. She felt really offended that they wanted to fight Dayo instead of her. Asuka, Yagyuu and Hibari took no notice as the twins wanted to fight Yuuto.

"Well, we'll just have to make do with you," Mira said and readied herself.

"That Rook. Her fighting strength is very high…" Koneko stated.

"What do you mean?" Hibari asked.

"Her strength is Queen level," Koneko clarified.

"You can take her Koneko. Yagyuu and Hibari will take care of the twins, while I go ahead and take on the blue-haired girl," Asuka said as she, Yagyuu and Hibari are finally ready to fight.

"Will do. And if you can't take them down, at least keep them busy long enough so I can take down the rook," Koneko said and crackled her knuckles.

"Are you ready, Hibari?" asked Yagyuu.

"Yes!" Hibari said.

The twins revved up their chainsaws and the blades were emitting flames, surprising both Yagyuu and Hibari. Mira got her staff as she begins to fight Asuka. Xuelan took a fighting stance as she eyed Koneko.

"All right. Bring it on, shortie," Xuelan mocked the nekomata.

Koneko's eyes began twitching in anger. She hated being called shortie.

Koneko leaped at the Chinese fighter with a flying kick. Asuka took out her two Kôdachi to prepare to fight the wooden-staffed girl, while Yagyuu got her umbrella ready, and Hibari ready to run as fast as she could as they both were to tackle on the chainsaw girls.

** At Raiser's headquarters **

"What's the situation?" Raiser asked in boredom, sitting in the rich-leather chair of the Principal's Office.

The principal didn't have a chair like this, and Raiser had used a lot of magic to make the office more comfortable to his elaborate tastes.

"Xuelan and three of the Pawns have engaged four of the enemy in the gymnasium," Yubelluna answered. "And three of them are temporary pawns who are Ninjas."

"Ninjas?" he asked, trying to ponder.

"Our three other pawns are approaching Lady Rias' and Lady Lulu's headquarters to promote themselves," Yubelluna continued.

** Around the woods **

Marion the maid pawn, Shuriya the second maid pawn, and Bürent the showgirl pawn were heading through the mist, trying to find Rias' and Lulu's headquarters.

"The fog is really thick here," Shuriya stated.

Suddenly, 50 Ninja stars and 3 large blades appeared from the bushes and flew towards them at high speed.

They easily dodged them as Marion gasped.

"A trap? And a quaint one at that."

"How cute. A novice must have placed them." Buren said.

The trio managed to evade two more traps, one a small wall of bamboo spikes hung from a tree, and the other a small pit of jagged rocks.

Avoiding them, the trio came to a small clearing that was devoid of mist for some reason.

"That was too easy. I expected more from Lady Rias and Lady Lulu," Shuriya said.

"And you were right to expect such." They heard a voice from behind them.

They turned around and saw Yuuto and Ikuraga.

"I'm Rias Gremory's knight, Yuuto Kiba," he said with a small bow.

"And I'm Ikuraga, Rias Gremory's temporary Knight," she said with a serious expression.

"You're cute, Yuuto. But I was hoping to fight Dayo," Shuriya said.

"Too bad for you then, because you won't be leaving here," Yuuto said and the girls looked around to see a large barrier form around the clearing.

"Our Queens have placed a barrier here to trap Raiser's servants. Those quaint traps were only meant to direct you here," Ikuraga explained as she and Yuuto and drew their swords.

"It's three against two. You think you can take us?" Marion asked and they readied themselves.

"As a Ninja, I'm ready to take you all on," said Ikuraga.

"Same here," Yuuto said as they started to move in high speed.

** Behind the school **

Nate and Tomo reached the back of the school, but didn't encounter any enemies. Everything looked exactly as it did in the real world. But as they saw the rear entrance, they paused.

"Something's wrong here," Nate said, noticing that the back door was slightly ajar.

"You're right. This is too easy," Tomo said, noticing the open window to the right.

Tomo then took out the Crossbow that Dayo gave her and aimed at the door. She looked at the scope, and is surprised to see the good camera vision of the scope and the beam aiming down at the target. Once she moves the arrow, the beam follows it. Once Tomo aims the door, she fires it.

Once the arrow hits the door, a Phenex crest appeared on the door and windows as flames jumped out, wrapped around the arrow and melted it.

"President, the back way is booby-trapped. We can't get in," Tomo said through the communicator.

"Get out of there now. They most likely know you're there," Rias said quickly and they bolted.

** At the Gymnasium **

Koneko missed Xuelan when she dodged and Koneko only barely managed to avoid the Chinese woman's side-kick. Xuelan sprang up, spinning around like a tornado, throwing three more kicks towards the silver-haired girl before she landed on the ground. Koneko swore she saw flames coming from the other Rook's feet before she landed.

Which to her made sense, seeing as how she was a Phenex Rook.

"You can't dodge me forever, little girl!" Xuelan declared as she rushed the Gremory Rook.

Koneko dodged two of her piercing hand-strikes before ducking a roundhouse kick. However, as she ducked to avoid the kick, she sprang up quickly, her lithe body flowing upward across Xuelan's busty figure to slam her head into her stomach. Xuelan stumbled backwards a bit, allowing Koneko enough room to spin her body in mid-air, throwing her feet at the other Rook's stomach, delivering a forceful kick to her chest that caused the Chinese fighter to fall backwards onto her butt. Koneko quickly spun around, landing on her hands and feet, and quickly jumped back up.

"Cute trick," Xuelan said as she quickly jumped back to her feet. "Perhaps this will be entertaining after all," she growled and lunged at her opponent.

Koneko gasped as Xuelan's speed seemed to increase, and she herself is barely able to avoid the Chinese Rooks punches, which slashed holes in her skirt and shirt on the left side of her body.

"Koneko!" Asuka shouted as she turned to focus on her.

"Asuka! Watch out!" said Yagyuu.

Asuka quickly looked back in time to see Mira ready to hit her in the gut with her staff. Asuka did one of her special moves, Dual Sword Back Slice, in which sent Mira flying into the wall, leaving a spider-webs crack around her.

Meanwhile, Yagyuu and Hibari were fighting the twins with amused smiles on their faces and were giggling like crazy. Yagyuu was actually at a disadvantage, knowing that her umbrella could get sliced or burned, or both at anytime. Even when she tried to do one of her special moves, one of the two twins would attack her, not giving her room.

Hibari wasn't faring any better. She didn't like chainsaws AT ALL! So, what did she do, of course? Run away as fast as she could.

"Disassembling time! Split, split, split, split, split!" said the twins as they charged towards Yagyuu and Hibari, grinding their chainsaws on the floor with sparks flying.

"Wah! Get away from me!" said Hibari, fearing that she'll get sliced.

Xuelan threw her foot up into the air, giving the nekomata a rather daring flash of her lacy white panties, which she had actually bothered to wear this time, and brought it down in an attempt to heel-kick Koneko in the head. However, Koneko was quick enough to raise her hands up, grab the foot, and yank her to the side, allowing her to deliver a right-cross to the Chinese Rook's face.

The Chinese fighter staggered back and rubbed her bruised cheek.

"Not ba... huh?" She gasped when she saw a blonde girl charge her from the roof of the gym. Then before she knew it, she's been kicked hard in the stomach from one of the golden-onyx boots.

The air escaped Xuelan's lungs as she fell down.

"W-Who the hell are you?" she asked, gasping for air.

"I'm Katsuragi, Lulu Gremory's temporary, but very sexy Rook!" the blonde answered in her usual happy tone as the others sweat-dropped at what Katsuragi said. Koneko, however, saw a quick opportunity and captured Xuelan's leg in a lock and started twisting it.

"AHH!" the Chinese fighter cried out.

Back to Yagyuu and Hibari who were still running from the chainsaw twins who were shouting at them.

"Don't run from us!" Ile shouted.

"Be a good girl and get dismembered!" Nel shouted.

"When did children get so sadistic?" Yagyuu mentally shouted, then remembered Haruka is just as sadistic as these twins.

Hibari then made a huge jump over the enemies and Yagyuu soon followed after her.

However, when they landed, they gasped as they saw that the twins were now in front of them, and quickly started to dodge their fiery chainsaws.

"You're Ours Now!" they both shouted and tried to cut them up.

"Hibari! Do it now!" said Yagyuu.

"O-OK!" said Hibari. Hibari calls out her bunny friend, and the bunny in a cloud appears from the roof and approaches to Hibari. Hibari climbs on to the bunny-cloud and they rode around the building at fast speed like an annoying fly.

A few seconds later, she performs Shinobunny Whoosh! and the bunny-cloud zooms down to the twins and hit both of the twins hard!

"Well done, Hibari!" said Yagyuu. "Everyone, get out of the way!"

Yagyuu then began to do one of her signature attacks. As she did, the twins got back up.

"If we lose to these girls..." Ile started to say.

"Master Raiser will scold us," Nel finished as they picked up their chainsaws, revving them up again.

"We won't forgive you!" Mira shouted as she got back up and they all charged at them.

"We'll dismember you!" The twins shouted.

"Oh yeah? Then try this!" said Yagyuu, as she spun around and around and around with her umbrella until a giant blue squid came on the top of her umbrella. The squid then spews iceballs at the Xuelan, Mira, Ile and Nel, freezing them instantly. That was the Dance of Ice.

"Koneko, Asuka, Yagyuu, Hibari, how are you doing?" Rias asked through their communicator.

"We're fine. We took out a rook and three pawns in the gymnasium with the big help of Katsuragi and Yagyuu," said Asuka.

"Excellent, now get out of there quickly," Lulu said.

The girls ran out quickly, just in time for Raiser's women to get out of the ice and looked at them in confusion.

"They're running without finishing us?" Mira asked.

"Are they abandoning their honor?" Xuelan wondered, but suddenly had a bad feeling about this as she tried to stand up, but the ice attack stopped cold in her tracks.

When they got outside, a huge magic circle appeared in the sky above the gymnasium. The energy surge quickly built up as a large lightning bolt fell from the sky and slammed into the building, which destroyed it completely.

Koneko, Asuka, Katsuragi, Yagyuu and Hibari were knocked down by the blast of the destroyed gymnasium.

They suddenly heard Medaka's voice. "Master Raiser's three pawns and 1 rook are retired."

The Hanzo girls looked up and saw Akeno and Yukina hovering above the gym building.

"Ara ara, now that was very pleasant," Akeno said sadistically.

"You said it, sis," Yukina said sadistically as well.

"Now that was incredible," Katsuragi said in disbelief.

"Those are the Lightning Priestesses. The nicknames for both Akeno and Yukina. Since Presidents aren't in an age where they can play in the official matches, not many people know about her. But they're famous in a certain group of people," explained Koneko.

** At the Student Council room **

"As expected from Rias and Lulu. They used an important location as a trap to take out an enemy," Sona said.

"But Raiser will definitely get serious from now on," Tsubaki said.

** At the back of the school **

"OK, the gym is destroyed. We must make our move!" said Nate.

Tomo nodded as she and Nate started to move back towards the track field to rendezvous with the others.

** At the woods **

When Yuuto stopped, Marion fell down and was eliminated. Her broom, which turned into a bladed spear, was lying a few feet from her.

"He's fast!" Bürent gasped, holding her hands up in a defensive position.

"I know! We'll have to double-team. Attack from two directions at once," Shuriya said, holding her feather duster up. "My Whip Duster will wrap them both up and then you can blast them."

"Got it!" the showgirl said to the maid.

Yuuto gripped his sword tightly in one hand, his eyes closed as he seemed to be in a meditative stance, and Ikuraga quickly disappeared.

The two pawns nodded to each other, quickly moving around and attacking from both sides.

Bürent lunged at Yuuto as fast as she could go, while Shuriya attacked him from the left side, throwing out whip-like tendrils from her feather duster to ensnare him. Suddenly, Yuuto vanishes. The pair gasped as their attacks flew towards the Gremory Knight and the temporary, or at least where he had been. Bürent was wrapped up as Shuriya was blasted by an energy sphere. The showgirl gasped when Ikuraga appeared in front of them, did her signature attack Phoenix Blaze Flash, slicing 20 times within 4 seconds, eliminating them both.

"Three of Master Raiser's pawns are retired," Medaka announced.

** Outside the Destroyed Gym **

"Everyone, can you hear me? Akeno and Yukina both did a perfect combo attack and finished it. With this, the first phase is completed," said Rias happily from the comlink.

"That double-combo lightning attack takes time to recharge after they use it. So repeated use is impossible. Nate and Tomo should be arriving soon. We will also head out as soon as Akeno's and Yukina's magical powers recover. So we want each of you to move to the next phase!" said Lulu, who is also pleased.

"Right!" the girls said. They all complimented themselves in how good this plan was going, but that celebration will be short-lived.

BLAM!

Suddenly, a huge explosion roared around the area, and by the time the girls got their senses back, they saw Koneko in a large crater, her clothes ripped to shreds, and in critical condition!

"Koneko!" said Asuka, quickly looking to see her. "HQ, this is Asuka! Koneko is down! I repeat, Koneko is down!" she replied in her commlink.

"Up there!" said Hibari, as she, Asuka, Katsuragi, and Yagyuu all saw who did that attack. It was none other than Raiser's Queen, Yubelluna, looking down on them with an arrogant smile.

"Taken," she said.

"You b*tch. You'll pay for this!" Katsuragi shouted.

"I don't think so," she replied, holding up her scepter and aiming it at them, her next targets. However, before she could, she was struck hard in the back by a bolt of lightning. "GYYYAAAAAHHHHH!" She screamed as she was knocked away.

It was Akeno and Yukina, using the rifles that Dayo gave them.

"Girls! Take Koneko to Asia and Mary! We'll handle this one!" Akeno called out.

Asuka and the others smiled to see Akeno and Yukina flying through the air towards Yubelluna. The Bomb Queen turns around to face the Himejima sisters.

"The Thunder Priestesses. Also with rifles. This should be interesting," Yubelluna said and readied her staff.

"We've have been waiting for this," Yukina said with a smile as the sisters got ready the rifles.

"...Asuka...Katsuragi...Yagyuu…Hibari…" spoke Koneko as if she was about to disappear. The girls couldn't believe it.

"...I'm sorry...I wanted to be more of use to President and everyone..."

That was the last thing Koneko said before she was covered in light and vanished from Asuka's grasp.

"Lady Rias Gremory's Rook retired!" said Medaka.

The four Hanzo girls couldn't believe their eyes. Now they found out on what it feels like to lose a comrade, and it's about to get much WORSE!

"Girls! Look out!" said Akeno.

Yagyuu saw the attack coming from the Bomb Queen, and opened her umbrella to defend the attack, but the Bomb Queen's attack was too much for Yagyuu to handle.

BLAM!

"Yagyuu!" shouted Hibari as she and the others saw Yagyuu's clothes completely torn off, and she was in critical condition, too! Her umbrella is completely destroyed.

"Fufufu. When you hunt a prey, it's best when the prey accomplished something because that's the time when the prey is most vulnerable. It's enough for us to 'sacrifice' our pieces in order to take down one of your pieces. Your group has a small number of members to begin with. Even this would be enough to put you in a tight spot. Even if you defeated us, you cannot defeat Master Raiser. It's useless to resist," said Yubelluna.

"How dare you attack those girls when it supposed to our battle!" said Yukina as she fired another round.

"GYAAAAAAAAH!" screamed the Bomb Queen, taking another hit.

"Y-Yagyuu…" said Asuka, as she and Hibari were about to cry.

"Don't cry…" said Yagyuu. "Go now, and help the others…Don't worry about me…."

Yagyuu then disappears.

"Lady Yumari 'Lulu' Gremory's temporary Pawn retired!" said Medaka.

Hibari fell down in despair, seeing her best friend disappearing right in front of her eyes.

"No time to deal with that!" said Akeno. "You must go now before you become the next victim!"

"R-Right!" said Asuka as she picked up the crying Hibari, and they and Katsuragi quickly head off to the Sports Ground.

**Back at the Match between Dayo and Grayfia **

"Lady Yumari 'Lulu' Gremory's temporary Pawn retired!" said Medaka.

'So, the carnage has finally begun. That's my signal to turn up the heat,' Dayo thought.

Right now, Dayo and Grayfia got some of their clothes torn and finally begun to take some damage.

Dayo got damage from Grayfia when she managed to punch him hard in the gut, sending him flying into a tree, splitting it in two.

However, Dayo did some serious damage of his own when he managed to make a huge ball filled with ice and flames and threw it at Grayfia. Grayfia dodged the ball only to bounce back and hit her without warning, giving her some ice burns to her skin and clothes.

"That was a pretty good attack, I must admit," said Grayfia. "But I won't fall from something like that!"

"Oh don't worry," Dayo told her. "Things are about to get much WORSE! FLAME GENERATION!"

At that moment, the huge ice storm was suddenly stopped as the arena was now getting hotter and hotter, and at the bottom, a large pool of lava began to form.

"Tch…" said Grayfia, unfazed about this as she launches another series of attacks.

"I'm not surprised," Dayo said in monotone as he began attacking Grayfia again.

** At the Sports Area **

"So that's what happened," said Yuuto as Asuka, Katsuragi, and Hibari told him and Ikuraga what happened with Yagyuu and Koneko.

"Everyone, can you hear me?" asked Rias.

"Yes," the 5 replied.

"You will go to the track field and delay the enemy as long as you can. Nate and Tomo should be very close. We will move with Asia, Mary and Suzu to attack Raiser and then you guys will come to help us. We were going to attack once Akeno's and Yukina's power had regenerated, but now they're fighting with Raiser's Queen so we can't wait any longer," Lulu explained.

"But President, the King shouldn't leave the headquarters. The risk is too great," Yuuto objected.

"We don't have a choice now. Just go to the track field," Rias ordered.

After a moment of silence, Katsuragi spoke up.

"Well then, let's give them a show they won't forget," she grinned.

Ikuraga smiled, and so did the other girls and Yuuto as well.

** Back at the Destroyed Gym **

Up in the air, Akeno and Yukina both got hit in the gut with an explosion and Yubelluna got hit in the neck with an electrical shot from the rifles.

"Not bad, but we expected more from the infamous Bomb Queen," Akeno said with a smirk.

"Oh, you'll get my A-Game when I'm good and ready," Yubelluna said as she charged up another attack.

"You've already lost six pawns and a rook. Maybe you should start now," Yukina taunted.

"Your allies may have eliminated our weakest fighters, but Master Raiser has never lost a Game! And if I have to, I'll personally blow up every one of the Gremory peerage. And then, I'll take the 'Nightmare of the Underworld' by force as well and make him suffer!"

Then, Akeno and Yukina just got angrier and angrier after hearing that last part. It's as if they've already got feelings for Dayo. It was then that they are now going ALL-OUT on the Bomb Queen!

** Back at the Match between Dayo and Grayfia **

Both were now starting to show fatigue after kicking, punching, and burning. Dayo now got a black eye after getting another ice punch from Grayfia, while she's now only in her undergarments after receiving another flame attack from Dayo.

"I didn't know that you were this good, Grayfia," Dayo said.

"I'm very impressed that you've improved yourself," said Grayfia. "However, I'm not impressed that you forgot about your childhood friend, Horizon Ariadust."

"Well, I didn't know that I had a childhood friend like her," he said in honesty.

"Then if you defeat me, I'll tell you everything about her," said Grayfia.

"Bring it on, Grayfia!" Dayo said, standing up, ready to fight again.

** At the woods **

"So how's my sword?" Ikuraga asked.

"It's impressive. It can compete with the swords I make from my Sacred Gear," Yuuto answered.

"So you managed to lure the other Pawns..." said Asuka.

"Yeah, but the person in charge of this location is quite calm and hasn't been taken by my provocation. Well, it seems like she used the Pawns to watch my attacks. Seems like Raiser Phoenix likes to battle by sacrificing his servants. It's only something he is able to pull off because of his immortality and the number of servants he has," said Yuuto as he continued. "The enemies who're in charge here are a Knight, a Rook, and a Bishop. Total of 3 Pieces."

"I guess they want to fight with strength in numbers," Hibari said.

"That's how much they are keeping up guard for this place, of our intrusion here. Since the gym was eliminated, they will focus their strength over here," said Ikuraga.

Asuka then quickly hears something.

"We know you're there! Come on out!" yelled Asuka as a tornado formed from the sand pit revealing a woman dressed in European armor.

"I'm the Knight of Master Raiser Phenex, Karlamine! I've become bored of trying to sniff through each other's strategy! Rias Gremory's Knight! I challenge you to a duel!" she said as she stood in the middle of the baseball court, drew her sword which emitted flames across the blade.

"I am Yuuto Kiba, Lady Rias' Knight," he said as he drew his sword, the blade a pitch-black color that seemed to glow with an inner light. "A battle between knights, I have been longing for this moment."

"Well said, Knight of the Gremory clan," she said with a smile before they started fighting.

They moved so fast that even Asuka couldn't keep up with their attacks and it looked like there were two hurricanes fighting each other. Katsuragi and Ikuraga, however, seemed to be watching them intently.

"Looks like there's nothing for us to do here," Asuka stated.

Hibari breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wrong call," another voice said.

The 4 Hanzo girls looked back to see six more figures walking towards them on the track field, side-by-side in a straight line, and all of them looking serious.

It was Isabella the rook, Siris the knight, Ravel the bishop, Mihae the bishop, Ni and Li the catgirl pawns.

"Silly Karlamaine. All she thinks about is swords, swords and swords. She is so careless and didn't even care when pieces were sacrificed. And just when I thought I found a cute boy, he turns out to be a sword freak. What a bad luck I have," Ravel spoke as the rest of Raiser's servants advanced towards the Hanzo girls.

'So the other pieces were here. President's prediction was right,' Yuuto thought as he turned his head and saw Rias, Asia, Mary, and Suzu sneaking into the school building.

"And I'm quite confused about Lady Rias' and Lady Lulu's taste in men," Ravel said with a displeased look.

Just then, Mihae's upper body was wrapped up in chains that forcefully pulled her backwards and slammed her onto the ground as two arrows staked her right in both shoulders. She didn't have time to scream as she disappeared.

"Master Raiser's bishop has been retired." Grayfia announced.

Ravel and the others looked to see Nate and Tomo come out from the woods.

"That evens the odds," Tomo said, with her arrow with the special Crossbow weapon ready, while Nate got her chains ready from her Divine Weapon.

Isabella, Siris and the cat girls looked at them. Siris drew her sword as the cat girls began wiggling their tails in anticipation.

"I'll be your opponent! I'm Ikuraga, Lady Rias' temporary Knight!" she said as she got her sword ready. So Siris and Ikuraga, the two Knights, battle each other out as well.

Isabella started throwing punches at Hibari, forcing her to try and fight back by throwing her arms rapidly, forcing Isabella to back off temporarily. She tried to kick her in the stomach, but she leapt back to avoid it, causing her to spin around and throw a roundhouse kick to her face, but she ducked quickly.

It was then that she noticed that Tomo and Nate were fighting the catgirl pawns while Ravel was putting a force-field to avoid Katsuragi's kicks, and Asuka's attacks.

"Hey, what's with her?" Tomo asked one of the catgirl pawns after they evaded one of her stronger arrows. "Can't she fight?"

"She is first bishop on our team, but she's never had to raise a fist to anyone," Isabella answered as she tried to right-cross the pink-haired girl.

Karlamaine managed to cut Yuuto's dark sword from the hilt, causing the blade to disappear.

"Your sword and that bladed sword both can't stand against the eternal flames of The Phoenix!" Karlamaine declared as she advanced on him.

"Then I will also tell you this. Unfortunately, this isn't everything of my Sacred Gear. And this bladed sword belongs to a special friend of mine," said Yuuto.

"What? Nonsense, Knight of Gremory. It's unsightly for a Knight to..."

"...Freeze.", said Yuuto as his blade less sword turned into an ice sword.

"In front of this sword, Flame Delete, all types of fire will disappear. And this Fox Blade sword was certainly useful against those 3 Pawns Ikuraga and I fought earlier," said Yuuto as he placed the bladed sword to his right, knowing that he's done with it.

"A...absurd! Are you telling me that you have two Sacred Gears?!", said a surprised Karlamaine as she swung her flame sword to the side, looking impatient. As soon as her sword came into contact with the ice sword, the flames froze. She then drew a short sword from her waist after throwing away the broken one.

"We are the members of the all mighty house of Phoenix, who rule over fire and wind! Taste it! The whirlwind of fire!"

As wind and fire built up around the baseball court around the two Knights, Ravel commented while placing yet another force field on her.

"That Karlamaine! Has she forgotten that her allies are here as well?!"

The ice sword Yuuto had melted.

"I see...You are trying to burn us with the whirlwind of fire...But."

As he put the blade-less sword out, he spoke out strongly.

"...Stop."

The wind stopped completely as his sword absorbed it.

"...Replenish Calm. It's been a while since I last showed more than two demonic swords for one battle. Good thing Dayo gave me his Fox Blade sword for practicing the two-sword style," said Yuuto.

"...Multiple Sacred Gears. Are you a Sacred Gear possessor who takes the weapons of other Sacred Gear users and make it their own?" asked Karlamaine.

"I don't have multiple Sacred Gears. I also don't take Sacred Gears from others and make them my own. I created it," said Yuuto.

"Created...it?"

"Yes. Sword Birth. I can make any demonic swords. That is the name of my Sacred Gear and its true ability.", said Yuuto as he put his hand down on the ground, creating multiple swords of different shapes and sizes. With more power, he can make a graveyard of swords, like in Kingdom Hearts.

Siris whipped her sword hard enough to create a strong wind, but Ikuraga managed to do Hien Phoenix Flash: First Style to push back Siris for a bit.

Tomo and Nate tried to slash the pink and blue-haired catgirls with their arrows and chains, but because they were cats they had greater agility and uncanny quickness, both of them managing to evade their foes vicious weapons.

"Too slow," Ni Laughed at Tomo.

"You'll never hit me with that," Li taunted Nate.

Li quickly leapt at Nate, spinning in the air and landing on her shoulders. The impact knocked Nate to the ground, causing her to go face-down as the blue-haired catgirl wrapped her hands around Nate's throat in an attempt to choke her.

Ni got close to Tomo and punched her in the wrist to knock the Crossbow from her hand. She quickly spun around and kicked her in the stomach, knocking her back and causing the former Shrine Sniper to growl at the pink-haired female feline.

The three peerages were in the heat of battle, both sides looking to defeat the other and claim victory...

** In the match between Dayo and Grayfia **

Both are now in critical condition. It's as if this fight was going to continue on for centuries…

Dayo has been frozen by Grayfia several times, but he was able to get out of the ice with ease, however, it did cost him some of his stamina later on.

'As I thought… Grayfia is a really skillful fighter. I never thought it would take me almost this long just to give her some damage, and she's not holding back one bit…' thought Dayo tiredly.

"Lady Rias' Queen and Lady Yumari 'Lulu' Gremory's Queen retires!" said Medaka.

Dayo gasped in horror, looking at the intercom, not believing on what he just heard. In fact, he's about to regret on what he just did.

GRAB!

"Guh!"

Dayo was now being held by Grayfia, choking him hardly with her left hand with a very angry look.

"Bro, you numbskull! Did you realize on what you've done?!" asked Dark Dayo, not pleased about this.

"Sh*t! I let my guard down…" Dayo said. He knew that if Grayfia holds him for the next 5 minutes, he's going to lose!

"Sorry that I have to do something like this," said Grayfia, having tears fall down on her face. "But if you can't remember your childhood friend, then you're certainly not a worthy opponent to me."

What she just said just tore Dayo's heart for a bit. It's as if he's done all of this training for nothing…

"Bro! Don't give in!" said Dark Dayo, but Dayo didn't listen as he was beginning to lose energy by the second.

"Damn it! I need to do something…."Dark Dayo said as he frantically searches for something. Then he found it.

A large hammer.

'If this doesn't work, I don't know what will….'

Dark Dayo's spirit then went inside Dayo's brain.

"All right, Bro! It's time to fix this idiotic brain of yours. WAKE UP!"

Dark Dayo smashed Dayo's brain with all his might, sending shockwaves to Dayo and his body as his eyes opened for a bit, and then he closed his eyes again, and then he hears voices…

'Let's play together!'

"Huh?"

'Let's play together!'

(FLASHBACK! – At the Underworld; Dayo at 4 yrs old)

(Cue theme: We Cried Together – O'Jays)

(Dayo POV)

I was lonely at my house, and I was sitting at the front door outside, feeling depressed for some strange reason.

"Hey!"

I looked with total disinterest, but then my face brightened when I saw a small girl carrying a bear.

"(sigh). Who are you anyways?" I asked in bitter disappointment, which at the time, is my usual look.

"I'm Horizon Ariadust! I want to be friends with you!" she said.

"Friend? What's a friend?" I asked.

"Silly! A friend is a person who likes or trusts one another. Which means I like you!" said Horizon.

I gasped in shock. I never knew that what she just said would warm my heart up a little bit.

And knowing on what it feels like to have a friend, I began to cry uncontrollably.

Horizon, somehow knowing on what I've been through, hugged me and cried as well. She didn't leave me for one bit. We cried from beginning to end.

** A few weeks later **

Horizon would usually visit my house every day when she had the chance. As time went by, my depression of being alone while my parents were out began to diminish. Horizon would always do her best to cheer me up, yet I couldn't find the right words to say, and that also explains why I didn't like talking to girls. I fear that if I say something wrong, the girls would reject me, hurting me more.

But not Horizon. She always had a wonderful smile on her face. On the other hand for me, I had a typical depressed frown on my face, but it became less and less likely for that to show up as she continued to cheer me up.

However, like all things in life, being together doesn't last forever. Just about 3 hours before my unpredicted deaths of my parents, Horizon and I decided to eat some special breakfast. Horizon was doing the cooking, and at the age of 4, that's quite an accomplishment in itself.

Unfortunately, her cooking…

"Bleh!"

…was atrocious. Because of that, Horizon ran away.

"H-Horizon, wait!" I yelled at her, and chased after her.

Horizon kept on running in tears, and when she reached the street called "Remorse Way", she simply vanished into thin air.

I desperately searched everywhere for her, but to no avail.

"Horizon! Please come back when you do! I'll be waiting for you at my house! Please keep cheering me up! I really like you! You're my only friend!" I yelled at Remorse Way to no one.

To me, Horizon is the type of person who would exert her efforts just to cheer me up and cook breakfast for someone, and I wanted her to continue doing so for me.

I didn't know it yet, and I still don't today, but I think the reason why Horizon ran away is because she doesn't want to see me crying again, and to avoid being indebted with me, because we see each other as equals.

Unfortunately, it was then I heard a loud explosion. It was coming from my house. By the time I reached back, I saw both my Mom and my Dad finally back home….

…killed right there on the spot by some people in black Ninja suits. And on my 5th birthday today.

I screamed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" and cried uncontrollably, and the rest was history.

(End Cue Theme)

(END FLASHBACK!)

(Dayo POV)

I began to once again mourn over the loss of my parents and possibly Horizon, in which I don't know whether she's alive or not.

'Thank goodness it worked.' Dark Dayo thought, before quickly wiping his one and only tear. "Listen. I know just how bad that you've been through, but your parents are trying hard to work things out for this family, but since we're 'Demons', I wouldn't be surprised to see you guys getting killed easily. In fact, they could've killed you right there on the spot, but thanks to Horizon, you're here today.

"Now, why not do this last attack for me, for Horizon, and most of all, for your parents?" he asked as he whispered something towards me.

I slowly nodded. This attack would be the last one. It's do or die! For a chance at redemption, and to get info from Grayfia!

"Any last words before I take you down for the count?" asked Grayfia as she's still holding my neck with her right hand and aims her left hand towards my face as it began to glow, knowing that this attack could kill me.

"First of all, thank you for this rematch, and thanks to my Darker Self taking me back to my early childhood years as I now know who Horizon is. My only childhood friend who wants me to have a big smile on my face, and she always does her best and never gives up until the job is done," I simply said to her.

Grayfia smiled and began to lighten her chokehold for a bit, knowing that I managed to know who my childhood friend is.

"And speaking of getting the job done, Grayfia, go ahead," I said simply.

Grayfia was surprised, but then she decided on what needs to be done, must be done. However…

Dark Dayo managed to switch my body just in time for him to raise his finger and pointed to Grayfia's forehead.

The finger glowed quickly, and before Grayfia could say anything else…

KABLAM!

The entire Arena was completely blinded by a very large light.

** At the Gremory Palace **

Sirzechs gasped at what he just saw.

"I-It's over! It's finally over! W-Who won?!" he asked as he was getting impatient because the TV screen seeing the Rematch was completely blinded by a white light, and it's not going away anytime soon.

** At Heaven **

The Angels gasped at what they saw as well.

"Looks like this match is coming to an end, but the white light is filling up the suspension," said Michael, as he saw the whole match as well.

** At the Underworld **

"DAMN! That was quick for Dayo to use THAT!" said Azazel, getting excited to see the conclusion of the match. However, he was not alone. Behind him is a mysterious man who only saw the second half of the match.

"Hmmmm…." the man thought before he disappeared into the darkness.

** Back to the Rating Game; 10 minutes earlier **

Rias and Lulu have finally entered the school building with Asia, Mary and Suzu right beside them, the small Sprite Dragon, Rayo, on Asia's shoulder, William, the red small Sprite Dragon on Mary's shoulder, and Rias' bat familiar, Shiruku, and Lulu's bat familiar, Inuko, were fluttering around the hallway.

They suddenly paused, hovering in mid-air and erratically fluttering its wings.

"So, you finally arrived, my darling Rias and my darling mistress Lulu," Raiser said when he looked down from the second floor stairway to the small hallway they had entered.

Rias and Lulu frowned at him.

** Back to the woods **

The three peerages kept on battling along, knowing that victory could go either way….

…until Rias' and Lulu's peerages receive some bad news.

"Everybody! We were able to get to the new school building, but Raiser challenged both Presidents to a duel! Please, someone come here quickly!"

That was the voice of a terrified Asia and a terrified Suzu! Everyone looked up to see a crimson-haired President and an amethyst-haired President fighting a blonde-headed Raiser.

And the news only gets worse!

"Lady Rias Gremory's Queen and Lady Yumari 'Lulu' Gremory's Queen retires!" said Medaka.

"WHAT?!" asked Katsuragi. She and the others couldn't believe it, and before anyone could answer…

BLAM!

Another explosion occurred, and Yuuto, Nate, Tomo, Ikuraga, and Katsuragi were caught off-guard and got blown away in seconds!

"Lady Rias Gremory's Knight and Temporary Knight, and Lady Yumari 'Lulu' Gremory's Knight, Rook, and Temporary Rook retires!" said Medaka, stunned herself.

"N-No way…" said Asuka, not believing at what she sees and what she heard.

"You better believe it," said another voice.

"It's her again!" said Hibari, looking to see that Yubelluna, Raiser's Queen did all this mess.

"Those girls were troublesome with those rifles. But you guys were no match for me," said Raiser's Queen as she laughed and flew off.

"So…" said Ravel, smirking. "You want to know how Yubelluna did it? I'll tell you how. See this?" She brought up a bottle with a shiny blue liquid inside of it. "This is 'Phenex's/Phoenix's Tears'. You've heard the legend, right? Our tears can heal any wound. Yubelluna simply fought with everything she had, waited until she needed some healing, then used this a few times, and finished your 'Queens' off."

"I-Impossible!" said Asuka.

"Oh, it's possible!" said Ravel. "However, do you really think that you have what it takes to stand again after taking a hit from my Wonderful Brother? Why don't you sit here, and get defeated by the others?"

Asuka and Hibari looked to see Isabella, Siris, Ni and Li smiling evilly at them.

"Asuka…please go save our Presidents," said Hibari.

"H-Hibari!" said Asuka, who is surprised.

"I got to do what I got to do, and besides, Yagyuu will be proud of me when all's said and done, right?"

Asuka wanted to cry, but knowing that she and her friends are Ninjas, she put on a strong, determining look on her face and nodded. "Right! I'll be going!"

Asuka then ran off to the top of the school building.

"Well then, pink girl! You look like the easiest target of them all. How are you going to defeat all of us?" asked Isabella.

"This!" said Hibari as her bunny-friend clung on to her back, and then began to grow…

And grow…

And grow…

Until she was as tall as the buildings, and then she quickly sat on her enemies with her big bottom and farted on them, but Ravel manages to avoid her attack in time.

"Master Raiser's Knight, Rook, and 2 Pawns retire!" said Medaka.

** At the school building **

Asuka has managed to reach the school building, which means…

"OK, uh… Promotion: Queen!" she said, unsure of herself. Then, all of a sudden, she felt power increase within her, all of her physical abilities becoming stronger.

'Now, we must eliminate that Raiser guy,' Asuka thought, but then she heard 2 more explosions and…

"Lady Yumari 'Lulu' Gremory's temporary Pawn, and 2 Bishops retire!" said Medaka.

"Hibari…" said Asuka, knowing that Hibari didn't go down without a fight as she took a big hit from Ravel's fiery attack. And she also knew that Mary and Suzu didn't stand a chance against Raiser. Still, she struggles on as she climbs the stairs.

** At the Student Council Room **

"What a stunning turn of events!" Yura stated.

"Now, I'm beginning to have doubts that my rivals would win this game," Sona said.

"As expected from the Phenex clan, I'm afraid," said Momo.

** At the roof of the school building **

Asuka finally opened the doors and said, "Presidents! Asuka is here!"

There was Rias and Lulu, both confronting with Raiser. Asia was on the brink of tears when her 2 friends disappeared when Raiser counterattacked the Gremory sisters' Timer Bomb and attacked both Suzu and Mary with it. They were so shocked, that they didn't even stand a chance.

Rias and Lulu were not in a good state themselves as their beautiful crimson-hair and amethyst-hair were messed up in many places, and their uniforms are ruined. Asuka knew that the time to save the girls is NOW!

"Well, well, well. What took you so long? Although I'm disappointed that Ravel let her pass…" Raiser said as he clicked his tongue. Just then, Raiser's Queen appeared next to him.

"Should I get rid of that remaining Bishop and that temporary Pawn? That girl over there is a major threat," said Yubelluna.

"Well, this is the last part, so let them do whatever they want," said Raiser, uninterested, knowing that he was going to win this game.

"Don't mess around with me, Raiser!" said Rias as she angrily shot out a ball of demonic energy towards him! He took the hit, as if he didn't try to dodge the attack. And when the smoke cleared, his face was back to normal, as if nothing happened!

"Then here goes nothing!" said Asuka as a large green battle aura formed around her. She was going to do her biggest move yet: Hanzou Style Hurricane Dance.

Asuka dances around and around as she attacks both Raiser and Yubelluna at the speed of light! Both Raiser and Yubelluna were definitely caught off-guard when they both got hit, time and time again! In fact, some of the hits were so hard, that some of the Phenex's Tears bottles all flew out and are broken into several pieces.

When she saw Yubelluna fall down from the building, Asuka quickly fell down and kept on attacking her, to make sure that she doesn't go back and get another bottle, until they both hit the ground HARD!

BOOM!

"Lady Rias Gremory's temporary Pawn retires!" said Medaka.

** At the Student Council Room **

Sona's peerage could only watch the beginning of the end of the Rating Game.

"Well, that was a certainly a gutsy move from your temporary Pawn there Rias and Lulu. I must admit, she definitely didn't give up until the very end," said Raiser, surprisingly showing respect for Asuka.

"However, even all of that effort will be all for nothing," he said as he pointed to Asia.

"Huh?" Asia asked, before looking behind her. It was Yubelluna, who somehow survived Asuka's most powerful attack, ready to attack her. "AAAAH!"

BLAM!

"Lady Rias Gremory's Bishop retires!" said Medaka.

"Rias, Lulu, just give up. I've already got you two in checkmate. If you both keep going like this, you'll make your father and Lord Sirzechs look bad," Raiser said in a victorious smirk on his face as Yubelluna flies right beside him, drinking the very last Phenex's tears bottle that she somehow saved.

"Shut the hell up Raiser! We know we're going to lose, but we're not kicking the bucket just yet. During training, we swore that with our servants or without our servants that we will keep fighting until the very end!" Rias screamed as she and Lulu started to gather their remaining powers.

"Why Rias, why Lulu, why? Why do you do it? Why stand and keep fighting, knowing you two are going to lose?" Raiser asked, baffled at Rias' conviction. "You must be able to see it. All of your other members are eliminated, and you two are the only ones left, which means it's pointless to keep fighting, so why do you persist?"

"Even if we told you, someone like you could never understand!" answered Lulu.

Rias' hair and eyes glowed blood red, and Lulu's hair and eyes glowed dark-purple, with their Powers of Destruction arcing off their hands like lightning.

"But if you really want an answer, let's just say like him, we really suck at giving up!" Rias and Lulu declared at the same time, charging at Raiser and Yubelluna.

True to their word, they never gave up in the end. The Gremory sisters used their remaining powers to not only hit Raiser hard, but also to eliminate Yubelluna in a surprising display of physical attacks no one expected from the Gremory heiresses.

"Master Raiser's Queen retires!" said Medaka.

"Now, the Kings are left. Who's it going to be?" asked Tsubaki.

Many of the Student Council members all clung on to each other for dear life, knowing the end is near.

Despite being angered at losing his most favorite and valuable piece, Raiser gave Rias and Lulu one last chance to surrender. In response, Rias and Lulu looked like they were going to do just that, but instead, they both gave a bone-jarring kick to his go-nads, ending the Rating Game on a high note as both Rias and Lulu collapsed from power exhaustion and fell into unconscious, eliminated. Before they disappeared from the field to join their peerages, they both whispered, "Dayo…We're sorry…"

"Ladies Rias and Yumari 'Lulu' Gremory have been eliminated!" Medaka's voice echoed through the air. "The Phenex Clan Wins!"

The Higher-Level Student Council didn't say a word, but they all gave a standing ovation to Rias and Lulu and their Peerages for their hard-working efforts.

'Dayo is not going to like this,' Sona thought.

"Rating Game... Over!"


HALFWAY POINT: Grayfia and Horizon both pinching Dayo's cheeks.

SECOND HALF: Dayo getting a lot of kisses from the Gremory sisters.


** A few days later at the Mansion **

(Dayo POV)

Now I'm really FURIOUS! Furious at what Raiser Phenex is about to do in the Underworld. How do I know this?

(FLASHBACK! – 30 minutes earlier)

I woke myself up in my Master Bedroom, confused on how I even end up here. The last I knew before passing out is Dark Dayo taking over my body at the last second and did a special attack on Grayfia's forehead with my finger. The damage was unbelievable.

I was at my bed and to my right sitting on one the chairs was Grayfia in a new blue-purple maid outfit.

"So, you have awakened," said Grayfia in her usual calm voice.

"Yeah…" I said.

"Well, first of all, how are your injuries?"

"It feels like they're all gone. Usually my Dark Side would his Magic Efficiency to heal my injuries within half a day, but he didn't do that…"

"That's because I've healed you, and we had to do it by hugging each other naked…" said Grayfia, blushing a little bit.

I was speechless. To think that Grayfia, the "Strongest Queen" in the Underworld, would actually heal me after our rematch…. STARK-NAKED! What would Sirzechs say about this?!

"Now I know why girls say you are very cuddly…" Grayfia whispered and blushed harder to herself, but I heard it, however I decided to change the topic.

"Well, anyways… I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to fight you again, and for helping me know who my childhood friend, Horizon Ariadust, is," I said.

"I see," Grayfia said, smiling. "And just to let you know, for Dark Dayo to use the Plasma Beam attack from his finger, you surprised me and won. Congratulations."

I couldn't believe it. Dark Dayo not only helped me remember about Horizon, but also helped me defeat Grayfia as well! I owe him, big time! Now, normally, I would be smiling about this, but I'm not. Why, you ask?

"As much as we've enjoyed fighting each other to the very end, we didn't show our full potential. Much like the same way, the Gremory sisters fought to the very end against Raiser Phenex…." said Grayfia.

"But they got defeated, did they?" I asked.

All Grayfia could do was nod.

"I'm not surprised. This is expected of Raiser Phenex and his regeneration. However, I'm not that upset."

Grayfia looked at me in confusion.

"Now, don't get me wrong. I didn't predict that Raiser was going to win this one hands-down, but deep inside of me, I knew that the Gremory sisters and their Peerages, as well as the girls of Hanzo Academy fought like true warriors and they never gave up until the very end. Although I'm disappointed at some of the moves Raiser made; showing no remorse for most of his Peerage when they got defeated."

"I see," said Grayfia. "And, unfortunately right now, there is an engagement party for Lady Rias, Lady Lulu and Master Raiser taking place. It's at the assembly hall that was prepared by the house of Gremory."

"Is there anyone there with the sisters?" I asked.

"Right now, Lady Rias' Knight, Rook, and Queen are there as well as Lady Lulu's Queen, Bishop, Knight, and Rook. The only ones who aren't at the hall who are related to them are you, Lady Mary, and Master Asia because of Lady Rias' and Lady Lulu's wishes. Master Asia, Lady Mary, your sisters and all of the maids stayed here with me, taking care of you. Your familiars were a bit worried about you, and the Fallen Angels and the Darkwater Team are waiting for your recovery. Right now, your sisters, Lady Mary and Master Asia should be getting a towel for you," explained Grayfia.

"Thanks," I said. "However, I won't be here for long, because as soon as I get my Sacred Gears back from the Lab, my team and I will be going over to Gremory's Palace and crush that wedding like a paper cup!"

Grayfia laughed. "As expected from my future brother-in-law."

"Wait, what?"

"Well, since you're going to save the Gremory sisters, if things go right, you will now be their fiancés."

As soon as I heard that, I somehow got an AWFUL feeling of upcoming doom ahead as I rubbed my forehead, but this needs to be done!

"Well, I'm still going! For Rias and Lulu to sacrifice their happiness to save the others. It's almost as if this was the same fate between me and Horizon. I find that unacceptable. I don't want their lives to be ruined by being married off to someone like Raiser, who only looks at a girl's body rather than a girl's feelings," I proclaimed.

As soon as I said that…

Chu!

I got a peck on the cheek by Grayfia.

"Then as expected from Sirzechs, you are not only 'the most interesting person' that the Underworld will ever see, but also a very fearsome person. Even more fearsome than me," said Grayfia with a smile and a faint blush on her face, taking out a black paper with a magic circle on it.

"And I suppose that this will take me there, right?" I asked.

Grayfia nodded and said with a serious face, "[If you want to save my sisters, barge into the hall.]. That's what Lord Sirzechs said. There is also another magic circle on the back of the paper. Please use it when you take back Lady Rias and Lady Lulu. It will definitely be useful to you."

"Tell Sirzechs that I owe him one, and thanks for taking care of me. I'll do the same thing to everyone else."

Grayfia nodded, and as she stood up to leave, she said, "Oh. There's one more thing that you need to know."

"What's that?" I asked.

"Remember Horizon Ariadust? Well…"

** At the main hallway **

Asia, Mary, the Hizuki Sisters, and Raynare were almost to the Master Bedroom when they heard a voice.

"WHAAAAAAAAT?!"

"! That voice! Could it be?" asked Ayana as Yant opened the door quickly. They were amazed to see me alive and in one piece.

"PLUSHY-CHAAAN! BROTHER!" yelled the Hizuki sisters as they all tackled me. Asia and Mary followed not long after.

Feeling the Hizuki sisters gigantic bosoms feels good and nostalgic, but I have a job to do…

"Thank god. We're so happy. You slept for three days even when your wounds healed...We thought you were never going to open your eyes again...Dayo..." Asia cried.

"You gave everyone a scare, Master Dayo. But we're glad to see you back," said Raynare, feeling relieved.

"Thanks everyone, but listen carefully. I'm going to take back Rias, Lulu, and a good friend of mine and crash an engagement party, and I have a way of getting there. I'm also going to take my Darkwater team with me," I said in a serious tone.

Yant, Ayana, and Touko couldn't believe it. They and the maids watched the Rating Game as well, and they all felt sorry for Rias and Lulu.

"Asia, Mary, if you have the cross and holy water, can I have them? I've got a special idea."

"Okay, but what are you going to do with it?" asked Mary.

Just then, my familiars appeared; Tabby and the Ghost Monsters.

"You're awake, Master," said Tabby.

"Yeah. Tabby, you did a great job taking care of my sisters. Now, I want you, Blinky, Pinky, Inky, Clyde and Sue to do it again, because I have a special mission to do, okay?"

The others nodded.

"Oh, and don't worry. We'll all be back in one piece before you know it," I said, before heading to the lab.

END FLASHBACK!

** At the Hallway **

I was walking to the lab, and in an angry mood. And this is due to the fact that Grayfia…

…has informed me…

…that Raiser Phenex…

…is not only going to marry Rias and Lulu…

…but is also going to marry my childhood friend, Horizon Ariadust!

And they're doing that behind everyone's back! And that TICKS me off!

** At the Technology Lab **

I finally calmed down a bit before entering the door. When I did that, there was Ikuyo, Airi, Grace, and all the other maids sleeping, but not for long.

"M-MASTER!" said Ikuyo, signaling the others as they all lined up quickly.

"WE'RE SORRY FOR THE DELAY, MASTER!" sang the other maids.

"Man, these 'bugs' from these Sacred Gears of yours have been VERY challenging for me," said Grace, whose eyes are definitely red. "We've tried to come up with various ideas on how to fix these bugs. Hell, I even had to call one of my rivals, Ran Musen from Inspiration Academy Private High School to look at this. Unfortunately, she came up with the best solution possible, and I'm sad to say, she's right.

"Now that I wrote down all the information on my notebook, and more importantly, fixed all these stupid little 'bugs', we've finally managed to upgrade all of the Sacred Gears and placed all the weapons you gave us in there. They're currently stored in the new 'Ultra-Armor' that we've made for you, even though you didn't ask for it."

"Yet, I want to know, Master," said Airi. "If the Sacred Gear is removed from the person, that host will die, yet you didn't. Care to explain that?"

"Either I'm already dead, yet still alive, or maybe it's from the incident that my 'colleague' John did to me," I said, scratching my head.

'Or it's because we have a huge lifespan due to having the blood of a 'Demon' and the blood of your grandfather, The Great Red, you dumba$$,' said Dark Dayo.

'Yeah, although we shortened our lifespan a little bit for this project,' I told him.

'But you know what? It's definitely worth the huge sacrifice. Now, it's time to see on how our 'buddies' are doing, and then give Raiser a hell of a beating that he'll never forget for the rest of his life! Can I get a 'Hell, Yeah?!''

'Hell, yeah!' I said, getting more excited to bring Raiser down to the bottom on his ladder of success.

"Well, here they are," said Ikuyo, holding the Sacred Gears in a special orb. Once I've grabbed the orb, it was then absorbed into my body.

"Boosted Gear. Activate!" I said.

[Dragon Booster!] said a familiar voice.

'Yo, Ddraig. How you doing?'

[Aah! I've never felt THIS great and THIS young in all my life ever since battling with Albion! I feel like a newborn Heavenly Dragon again! What a clever plan you have made, Great One!] said Ddraig.

'How are the others?'

[They feel like they are free again, and at peace. The best part is that we have more energy than we ever thought possible, and even if we use most of our energy, it's as if we aren't even breaking a sweat, and we're only using less than an eighth of our strength. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Albion, wherever you are! You better watch out! I may have THE best and strongest host yet!]

'Indeed. Now, let's go out there, and give you and some of the others a good test drive. How about it?'

[YES!] said Ddraig, with blood filling with excitement.

"Thank you, everyone. You all did great. You all deserved a week's worth of rest," I said to the other maids.

They all thought that they would be severely punished for not having the project done on time, but they felt grateful that I was kind to them not to go through all of that, and they all said, "THANK YOU, MASTER!"

** Outside the Mansion **

I was smiling throughout the way, knowing that the maids worked their very hardest to fix all of these 'bugs' within these Sacred Gears. And, with a few 'extras' that I'm carrying, that hotheaded Phenex doesn't stand a chance against me and my Darker Self. However, I've decided to do something even more entertaining….

"Dayo! We're here!" said a voice.

That voice belonged to Kazama. He, Ryuuji, Tokiya, Grey, and Jake of the Darkwater Team have arrived.

"Good. Now, prepare yourselves, boys! We're about to crash the biggest wedding ever in the Underworld, and in style!" I said, as I dropped the black paper with the red magic circle, transporting us to the House of Gremory.

Back at the Mansion, there was Elizabeth, seeing us transported, as she said, "Good luck, Dayo."

** In the Underworld **

(3rd-Person POV)

The silver haired girl was crying. Crying in tears of happiness, knowing that Dayo has beaten Grayfia, but just.

Suddenly, one of Phenex's heavy guards opens the door and said, "It's time. Please go to the dressing room."

She now knew that it was only a matter of time before her dreams are shattered for good. The silver girl reluctantly follows the guard.

** At the Wedding Chapel **

As the time of the party draws near, most of the crowds have assembled. Many of them are young devils, which belongs to the remaining 36 clans, but there are also some adults, most notably the head of Gremory clan along with his wife, a certain red-haired Satan who is one of the current Four Great Satans, and the 'Strongest Queen'.

Most of the devils are either busy chattering with each other, or feasting upon the glorious foods and wines that were prepared on the tables. However, some of them are not in the mood for celebration, mainly because they couldn't agree with Rias' and Lulu's engagement. They are none other than Rias' peerage, Lulu's Peerage, Sona, who also decided to attend as well, and her Peerage.

Raiser Phenex, dressed in his elegant white suit for his "grand" wedding, was all smiles with his 'I'm holier than thou' smirk while waiting for his brides to come down the aisle, to say their vows, and be his wives until "death" do they part. While he himself originally didn't have anything to gain from this arranged marriage, he now didn't mind adding 2 more females to his collection of beautiful ladies the moment he first laid eyes on the redhead, the purplette and the female members of their peerages.

"Are you ready, Master Raiser?" one of Raiser's best men asked.

"Yes. Just waiting for my 2 future wives," Raiser replied, his smirk not leaving him. Once he marries Rias and Lulu, they'll become their master, and gain control of their peerage. Soon, Rias and Lulu won't be the only ladies to join his already impressive harem.

Sure enough, his grin increased when he saw the 2 brides walking down the aisle arm-in-arm with her Father and her Mother, both wearing a gorgeous red wedding dress decorated with a wing of flame motif that hugged their figures nicely and a veil covering their faces. Raiser can't wait to show Rias and Lulu his way of doing things after the wedding, because no matter their personality, eventually they all change their colors and become his type of girl after he works his magic on them. He looked forward to breaking them.

"President!"

"Prez…"

Suzu and Nate yelled at the same time. Rias and Lulu turns their eyes towards them, and simply flashes them a smile of resignation.

"Rias…."

"Lulu…."

Akeno, Sona, and Yukina simultaneously thought. Koneko, on the other hand, is clenching her fists so hard that it's a wonder her fists hasn't broke yet, while Yuuto calmly, yet grimly stares at the scene in front of him.

As soon as Rias and Lulu stood by Raiser on either side, the high archpriest proceeded with the union.

"My fellow Devils, we gather together tonight in the name of our four original rulers, Lucifer, Leviathan, Beelzebub, and Asmodeus to bind Raiser Phenex and Rias and Yumari 'Lulu' Gremory together in marriage to strengthen the ties between the households of Phenex and Gremory. If there is anyone here, who knows why these three should not be wed, please speak up now, or forever hold your peace."

"Dayo…" Rias and Lulu thought, failing to hold back their tears behind her veil. With the weight of being the heiresses apparent of their family on their shoulders, they could only try to be strong, and endure the eternal nightmare that is to befall them for their family….

Before the high priest could continue however, a loud bang rang out, the sound echoing off the walls and making everyone jump and look around wildly, but a cry of pain rang out from the altar, making everyone turn back to said altar to see Rias and Lulu looking thunderstruck behind their veil and Raiser holding his head as if in pain. When he removed his hands, gritting his teeth to block out the pain, everyone saw a closing hole in Raiser's temple, leaking out blood.

"Goddamn, this wedding is f*cking depressing…" a loud but very cold voice rang out from the opposite end of the aisle. Then another voice spoke, but not as cold as the first, "A girl's wedding is supposed to be magical and a dream come true, but these 2 brides there are crying a waterfall behind their veils because they're marrying an a$$hole instead, and no one cares since it's a selfish attempt for the future of the Devil faction. Man, oh man, that's so pathetic and disgusting."

Everyone in the residing chapel looked down the aisle to see 2 boys from the Darkwater Team, Ryuuji and Grey, as well as a large, strong man, filled in heavy blue armor, carrying 2 large submachine guns.

"GUTEN TAG!" said the large, bulky man, better known as Hans Grosse, shooting the guns rapid-fire, killing more guards instantly.

Before Raiser could foam at the mouth in anger at the insolence of this man doing a free-for-all killing spree, Grey fired several shots from his pair of Gun-Chucks in rapid succession, causing the guests to jump out of their seats in fright and moved away, while the high priest, the best men, and the bridesmaids moved away as well, and Rias and Lulu on the other hand, stood where they were, surprised at this turn of events, with hope rekindling within their hearts.

Raiser however, dodged the bullets that are filled with extra hard red paintballs with a look of fury on his face.

"Guards!" he roared. "Subdue those b*tches!"

On his command, the armored guards in the chapel swarmed around the three men and pointed their swords at them.

"Drop your weapons and surrender!" the head guard shouted as the 2 boys and the large man are looked at each other and smiled.

"Twenty guards, huh? You're going to have to do better than that," said Ryuuji in a bored tone and pointed to the door.

When they looked, they were shocked at what they see.

There was a HUGE army of robots and cyborgs, each wearing a green suit and a deadly rapid-fire rifle stuck to their stomachs. They are known as Mutants.

They didn't say anything, but they knew one word: KILL.

The Mutants shot all of the guards surrounding Grey, Ryuuji, and Hans within 3 seconds, and their faces show no mercy. From there, the 3 remaining members of the Darkwater Team, Jake, Kazama, and Tokiya showed up with their weapons.

"Now, it's time to get this party started!" Jake smiled.

Raiser is soon met by a powerful kick from Kazama, as he was sent flying to the pile of the dead guards. He flipped and landed on his feet, dusting himself off as the 5 Darkwater Team members, Hans, and the Mutant Army stands in front of him.

"Well, well, well. So this is Raiser Phenex that our leader told us about? Just looking at you means nothing but trouble. So our leader's instincts are right. Besides, one of our old habits is crashing parties, especially when it's a wedding like this," said Tokiya.

"Heh, and you just happened to get hired working for someone famous to interrupt my wedding? I find it hard to believe that this is a coincidence," Raiser growled out as a blaze of fire materialized on his hand. "Who put you up to this?"

"You'll find out soon enough," answered Kazama, with his usual smile.

Raiser glared at them, but then smiled himself, making the 5 boys raise an eyebrow and placed themselves and their mutant companions on edge.

'What with that smile?' they wondered.

"I've heard a lot about you. You 5 happen to be some famous mercenaries, and as much as it's honor to fight you and your team, now is not the time, or the place, so instead…"

He raised his arm and snapped his fingers, a huge orange magic circle with his clan symbol on it appearing in front of him. The next second, his all-female peerage appeared in flash of flames, teleported from the wedding chapel where all the guests of the "grand" wedding were now leaving out of, all in their formal party dresses that matches their respective motifs for the occasion.

Yubelluna, Ravel, Mira, Ile, Nel, Burent, Shuriya, Marion, Ni, Li, Isabella, Xuelan, Karlamaine, Siris, and Mihae all arrived.

"Girls. Keep our dear guests…entertained," Raiser commanded as he walked back to the spectator area. "I have a wedding to get back to."

"Big brother, are you sure?! This army belongs to someone familiar…" Ravel squeaked as she notices an emblem that has a long ponytail on each mutant.

"At the end of the day, it's all about the numbers game my dear Sister, just like our victory in the Rating Game," Raiser assured her, but in reality, he was only reassuring himself. "Don't let these guys fool you, so take care of them."

"Yes, Master Raiser," Yubelluna said as she prepared for battle, summon her magic staff weapon. The others followed soon after, but inside, they had a feeling that they made a wrong choice battling these guys. It's as if they know that they'll see more recruits, each one heavier and stronger than the last, and they would be on their way.

But in the end, they were Raiser's Evil Pieces, and they were to follow his orders to the latter.

"Setting your peerage on us instead of fighting us yourself. You are truly a credit to your clan," Grey called out, but Raiser ignored him with his mind on more 'important matters' as he arrived where the spectators are, and grinned at Rias and Lulu, who watched the exchange with a glimmer of hope in their eyes behind their veils.

"Now then, my lovely-"

Raiser then frowned, as Rias' own peerage, Akeno, Koneko, and Yuuto, and Lulu's own peerage, Yukina, Tomo, Nate, and Suzu, all dressed in their own formal dresses, suddenly stood between him, Rias and Lulu.

"Akeno! Koneko! Yuuto!" Rias called out to her precious servants, shocked that they're standing against Raiser.

"Yukina! Tomo! Nate! Suzu!" Lulu said as well.

"And what are you guys think you're doing?" Raiser growled out, angered that his wedding was getting delayed by these interruptions. "You all dare stand between me and my brides?!"

"Ara ara, if you want to blame someone Raiser, blame Grey for what he said when he shot you in your head, causing us to act this way," Akeno stated, a sadistic grin on her face with lightning magic dancing on her raised hands.

"And I think that you truthfully deserved that shot, but I don't think that's enough yet," said Yukina doing the exact same thing as Akeno.

"I don't care if you're a Phenex anymore, you won't lay another finger on our two Presidents as long as we're around!" Suzu added, bravely standing up to Raiser.

Koneko just nodded in agreement with her comrades as she pounded her fist into her hand. "I'll kick your a$$."

"And we're helping, too!" said Sona, as she and her entire peerage, all dressed nicely, got in front of both Rias' and Lulu's peerages.

"S-Souna!" both Rias and Lulu said in surprise.

"Look. You two may be my rivals, but even I won't accept a marriage like this, so it's good to help you out once in a while," said Sona, smirking.

"W-Why are you all doing this?" asked Lulu.

"Because we are your servants, President," Yuuto said simply, interrupting her. "And we all care for your happiness."

Rias and Lulu were about to cry in happiness, knowing that they have a lot of friends and comrades who are there to protect them.

Meanwhile, the Darkwater Team looked past Raiser's peerage, Jake and Kazama smirking at the situation developing.

"Well, well, well. Who's got the advantage now, cluck-boy?" asked Jake.

Raiser snarled in rage at Jake's insults, and conjuring up a fireball, Raiser was about to show why he was a Phenex when he's bombarded by Ryuuji's throwing swords.

"You really should learn to mind your surroundings," Ryuuji said before disappearing again.

Raiser then launched a series of large fireballs, only for Kazama to use Blowing Wind to cancel out Raiser's flames. As soon as Raiser landed, he gets bombarded by more bullets from the Mutants and Hans.

Meanwhile, Jake and Tokiya are fighting every member of Raiser's peerage and they managed to avoid all of their attacks so far, from Tokiya using his collapsible spear to deflect both Ile and Nel's chainsaw attacks, to Jake making some electromagnetic attacks to some of his blades and knives to stop Yubelluna's attempts to blast him away, and more.

"Is this really all the Darkwater Team has to offer? I expected more from all of you!" Yubelluna shouted as she cast another one of her signature fire spells, with guards in golden armor appearing to block any escape route.

"Too easy," said Sui, nickname of Tokiya, as he readied his spear. He formed all of the unused cups of water into a huge wave and sends the wave down to Yubelluna's attack, cancelling each other out in the process.

"Guys, we must stop here. I think that this is good enough," said Tokiya.

"And why would you do something like that?" Ravel asked smugly.

"Because the main event…is now here…" answered Grey.

BOOM! BLAM! KABLAM!

(Dayo POV)

There were 3 huge explosions with a large blinding flash of light, and the light was so bright, that many of the people, including Raiser, all had to close their eyes.

A few seconds later, the light began to diminish, and when everyone got their vision back, they were surprised at they saw next.

"Well, well, well. This is one of the WORST weddings that I've ever seen in my entire life!" a voice said.

Some people from the crowd had their blood run VERY cold when they heard that voice, but some of the others, especially Rias, Lulu, and their peerages all knew who that voice came from.

"Heh. You sure love to make people waiting!" Nate excitedly shouted.

"Seriously, I thought you have decided to become a hermit," Sona commented with a teasing smile on her face.

"Late…" Koneko said with a smile on her face.

"Ara ara, uhuhu~. You really make us worried that a thousand hugs and kisses seem to be the appropriate punishments for you," Akeno joked lightheartedly, although her eyes were very serious. Yukina chuckled as well.

The peerage of Raiser Phenex gasped when they found out who it was.

"IT'S HIM!" they all said, some of them excited.

"That's right, it's me! The Nightmare of the Underworld, Dayo Kayode, has arrived!" I said in an exciting voice, while wearing my "Tuxedo Mask" impression, but only this time, I was completely black, and they only saw my white eyes with no pupils.

The crowd gasped in horror when they saw me, either due to the fact that I was the one that started The Great War, or by the fact that I have one of the most scariest titles of all time.

"Where have you been all this time? Don't you know we were very worried about you?" Rias asked with tears falling from her eyes. Lulu also had tears falling from her eyes, too.

"I know…." I calmly replied.

"You're late!" Lulu told me with their expressions clearly showing her happiness.

"But I sure know how to make an entrance!" I told them, smiling at them.

As for Raiser, he was steaming mad. Wait, not mad…TICKED! It was supposed to be his night; HIS night! And it's been ruined by the arrival of me and my Darkwater Team, with more of my friends joining in. He now feels hatred for the gatecrashers that dared ruined his wedding.

More guards came towards us, but Akeno, Koneko, Yuuto, Yukina, Tomo, Nate, and Suzu intercepted them.

"Dayo, leave these guys to us!" Yuuto said as he blocked a sword strike with Koneko grappling one of the guards' weapons, Akeno and Yukina shocking the crap out of the guards, Tomo throwing rapid-fire arrows at the guards at point-blank range, and Nate wrapping many of the guards up in chains, while Sona and her peerage managed to take an army of guards of their own.

"Thanks!" I said as they, Hans Grosse and the mutants kept on fighting, "We owe ya one!"

"You bastards!" Raiser snarled, drawing my attention back to him.

"So, Raiser Phenex, we meet again," I said to him. "Now, not only I'm the Nightmare of the Underworld here, but I'm also the leader of the Disciplinary Committee at Kuoh Academy. And my Darkwater Team over there, are the members as well."

"You're the defenders of Rias' and Lulu's school I've heard about? You're way outside your jurisdiction," Raiser countered, not impressed by my credentials.

"Well, in case you haven't noticed, Raiser, Kuoh Academy, Academy Island itself, the surrounding areas, and even the students are part of our jurisdiction a$$hole, and right now, you have two of them against their will," Grey snarled, pointing his shotguns at Raiser.

"In other words, Rias and Lulu are a part of our jurisdiction!" Kazama piped up.

"So if you don't want to learn first-hand why humility's identical to humiliation, then I suggest you let Rias and Lulu come back with us. This is your first AND final warning," I added, taking out my MCS Mk3 gun and my Rocket Launcher and pointed them at Raiser.

"You, a mere low-class Devil dare threaten me?!"

'A low-class Devil?! Oh, how wrong he is!' I thought, making up an evil idea.

"Well, first of all. Have you even thought of a girl's feelings?" I asked. "Did you even think once about Rias' and Lulu's feelings? Hell, did you even think about your peerage's feelings?"

Raiser's peerage felt like they were insulted, but on the inside, they knew that I was right. Even the crowd murmurs proved my point.

"Yeah, I heard that he only reincarnated those girls to fulfill his fetishes."

"How low is that?!"

"Now, I feel sorry for the Gremory sisters."

"Raiser may be handsome, but his behavior is anything but."

Raiser snarled.

"In fact, I bet all of that has NEVER even crossed your mind," I told him.

"Listen, buddy! This is MY wedding, and even you won't stop me!" Raiser said, ignoring of what I just said, and the rumors from the crowd.

"Trying to ignore your mistakes, huh?" I asked. "In fact, I wonder..."

I then turned to see 4 people on the second floor. In fact, these 4 people are the parents of the Phenex and the Gremory.

On the left side is a middle-aged man with crimson-red hair. He is the current of the Gremory clan, Lord Gremory, and has demonstrated a very kind disposition. And next to him is his wife. She is actually the eldest daughter from the house of Bael that is famous for the Powers of Destruction. She has been shown to have a serious personality being strict to her children but at the same time she cares deeply for them. She can seamlessly switch her demeanor from that of a proper, young noble lady to that of the head Lady of the Gremory Family. In fact, she looks exactly like Rias and Lulu, only with a bigger bust, in which I believe it's at 100cm, and she has brown hair. Also known as Brunette Madame of Extinction, her name is Venelana Gremory.

On the right side, is the head of the Phenex family. He is a middle-aged man with gold hair. Unlike Raiser, he is shown to be very polite. He has also been shown to be a wise father. He is Lord Phenex. And to his right is the wife of Lord Phenex. She looks exactly like her daughter, Ravel, in her early twenties with her blonde hair and dark blue eyes, with the only exception of her hair being done up very high with ornate hair decorations. She too has a very kind and gentle personality. She also has concerns about Ravel's well-being. She is Lady Phenex.

"I want to know," I said to the parents of Gremory. "Why did you even arrange this marriage in the first place? Did you even let your daughters give you their opinions before making the arrangements?"

Those questions have hit the mark, especially for Lord Gremory, as he hung his head down in shame. Venelana soon followed.

"I thought so," I said, then turning to the parents of Phenex. "And as for you, you guys didn't fare any better. Have you ever seen your son's behavior? Did you even talk to him about his actions?"

"Unfortunately, we haven't done that lately," said Lord Phenex. "I only talked to Lord Gremory about arranging this wedding and that's it."

"Well, at least you are honest…" I said. "But Raiser, you've been worse! I respect you for making your peerage stronger, but trying to add those girls due to your fetishes and not their feelings makes me sick! Especially when you added your bratty little sister into the mix!"

"Why you…" Ravel growled as she began unfurling her wings of fury, but Raiser calmed her down.

"And in the process, you made Rias and Lulu cry!" I yelled to Raiser, as I pointed to Rias and Lulu, who were still crying, and the crowd showed more and more glares to Raiser.

"So, that's two strikes against you. One for making the Gremory sisters cry, and for not looking at ANY one of the girl's feelings. And, to make matters worse, you already got your third strike against you as well, which will ultimately seal your fate."

"WHAT?! HOW?!" Raiser asked.

I simply smirked, and walked over to a wall. Everyone was confused of why I was going there, but I then saw Raiser beginning to sweat, but only if you look VERY closely. That means that his plans are about to go BUST!

"Maybe this?" I asked as hit a square tile on the wall. At first, nothing happened. A few seconds later, the wall then began to turn itself, earning a few gasps from the crowd. And when the wall made a complete 180, what they saw completely stuns everyone. It was the silver-haired girl that we saw on our first day of school.

"H-H-H-Horizon?!" Raiser asked.

"That's HER! It's Horizon Ariadust! I remember now!" said Suzu.

Various gasps were heard around the building. Horizon Ariadust, my childhood friend, is also in a wedding dress. Needless to say, the parents of Gremory and Phenex were surprised and VERY cross!

"Raiser!" Lord Phenex shouted. "What is the meaning of this?!"

"Um…Uh…I…Uh…" Raiser finally began to stutter. Looks like Phase 1 of my plan is about to be completed.

"You were supposed to marry me…." Horizon said, before she cried.

"Wow! Raiser cheated on Rias and Lulu, and they aren't even married yet!"

"How vulgar…"

"I demand for this wedding to be called off!"

Looks like some of the people are beginning to show hatred for Raiser.

"…." Raiser had nothing to say, because he knew that he was busted, and he's about to find out why.

"You…"

"You…"

Raiser then quickly saw Rias and Lulu looking very cross, and before he could say anything….

"YOU SICK DEVIL!"

SLAP! SLAP!

…he got slapped on both of his cheeks from the Gremory sisters, earning cheers from the crowd.

"YOU! You lowlife Devil! I don't know how you managed to find Horizon, but I'm going to marry the Gremory sisters and her, no matter what!" Raiser said, with his cheeks back to normal, thanks to his regeneration.

"You're just as bad as King Henry VIII, if not worse," I said to him calmly. "And by the way…"

I smirked as I summoned my large Demon wings and my Boosted Gear. "I'm not a Devil. I'm actually a 'Demon'. The last remaining 'Demon' in the Underworld."

The crowd screamed when they heard the other 'D' word.

"So, the rumors are true!"

"That 'Demon' is going to kill us!"

"Every Devil for himself!"

"THAT'S ENOUGH!"

A new voice interrupted them before things got really out of hand and harm the guests, making the whole hall go silent as a handsome young man, with the appearance of a man in his early 20's with crimson red hair and blue-green eyes, similar to Rias, and wearing white robes with black and gold armor over them, made his presence own. I know him well.

"There will be NO panic in this room!"

"Big brother…"

That's right. It's the brother of Rias and Lulu, Sirzechs Lucifer.

"Sirzechs Lucifer, also known as the Crimson Satan. He's the leader of the Four Great Satans, Rias' and Lulu's older brother, and is married to Grayfia. His skills with the Power of Destruction is higher than Rias and Lulu combined," said Tokiya, adjusting his glasses.

"Now how did you know that when I didn't introduce myself?" Sirzechs asked, curious.

"My glasses contain X-Ray info. It allows me to connect to the world around us to give us of kinds of tactical information and history about a person, place, or thing. Rest assured, I barely use it," Sui said.

'What an interesting ability…' Sirzechs noted, looking at the Darkwater Team with a critical eye.

"We're really getting off track here," I said, with Sirzechs agreeing.

"Indeed. While we already had entertainment yesterday during the engagement party, I don't see any harm in some more… flashy entertainment. Besides, I'm interested in seeing the Red Dragon Emperor's power ever since Grayfia fought him and lost," Sirzechs said.

"G-G-Grayfia lost to him?!"

"As expected from the 'Demon'!"

More murmurs came from the crowd.

"Lord Sirzechs," Lord Phenex started to protest, "That sort of action is…"

"Isn't it fine? While I said that we had some entertainment during the engagement party, the battle between your son and my sister's Peerage was a bit too one-sided for my tastes."

"So my victory over from the Rating Game was for nothing?" Raiser questioned, while keeping his outrage in check.

"No, no. Your victory in the Rating Game only made the wedding go as scheduled. If a Devil such as myself says that, then I would be making the old nobles look bad. The relations between the High-class Devils are important after all. This though, is an entirely different altercation as far as I'm concerned; a conflict between you and Dayo here, who is clearly looking to take both Rias and Lulu back, as well as Horizon, whether he has to fight you or not."

"Then Sirzechs," Lord Gremory spoke up, with his wife right next to him, "What do you want to do?"

"Well, I want to make my 2 cute little sisters' wedding a flashy one before any vows are spoken, as polygamy is indeed allowed here in the Underworld. Think of it as the main entertainment of tonight's party to prove to me and my family that you are truly worthy of Rias, Lulu, and Horizon: a battle between the prodigy of the house of Phenex, Raiser Phenex, and the last remaining 'Demon', who started this Great War, and has the blood of the legendary Dark Knight Sparda, Dayo Kayode. Surely you've heard of them?"

Raiser and the others gasped when they heard that I also have the blood of the Dark Knight Sparda, one of the best 'Demons' of all time.

It's fun to surprise people after all.

"Dragon vs. Phoenix. Two legendary creatures locked in battle. Don't you think it's the ultimate showdown? Also, I believe there's more to this person than meets the eyes, which explains how my sisters Rias and Lulu, as well as Horizon over there are so smitten with him, as well as other female Devils and Fallen Angels in this Underworld," Sirzechs commented in a slight nonchalant manner.

Shock was written all over Raiser's face as looked back and forth between me, and poor Rias, Lulu, and Horizon, who all had a blush that as red than Rias' hair as her brother turned to me.

"Dayo Kayode, you have shown yourself that you have defeated my wife, Grayfia without using your Sacred Gears, and using your power as a 'Demon'. Can you show me your true powers of the Sacred Gears as the Red Dragon Emperor? And Raiser, will you show me your power once more in front of my family? This person here can give you a challenge of a lifetime," Sirzechs offered.

"!"

Everyone gasped, with the exception of Grayfia, whom she already knew what Sirzechs was planning.

"So, you want me to fight this insolent bastard? Heh. What a joke," Raiser muttered the last part of his sentence. "It wouldn't be a healthy fight, Lord Sirzechs. A high-class devil like me fighting against a 'Demon' like him. There's no need to do that since the result is already been decided. It's like comparing a bird with an insect," Raiser said while making a mocking gesture towards me. It seemed that he had forgotten what he went through earlier and did not realize what kind of danger he had put himself into.

In fact, he is about to enter Phase 2 of my plan.

"Fantastic. Then how about the winner gets a prize?" Sirzechs suggested with a smile. My eyebrows twitched when I heard that, and then I slowly narrowed his eyes. "That way it wouldn't be for nothing and we…"

"Raiser! Since you still don't get it, I challenge you to a Rating Game!" I said, interrupting Sirzechs before he could finish implementing his plan.

"Eh?" Surprisingly, the one who let out that voice was not Raiser, but Sirzechs. He was surprised at my sudden interruption, but more importantly, he was surprised at what he said, the same goes for all of them. "Dayo, what are you…" Sirzechs halted his voice, because I gave him a look that tells him to be quiet. Or rather, Dark Dayo flashed for a moment, silencing him. 'I see….'

"Rating Game?" Raiser asked to confirm that he heard it right. "You want to fight me in a Rati…"

"Since you still want to marry Rias, Lulu, and my childhood friend Horizon Ariadust, then I'll take them myself," I said, not giving Raiser a chance to finish his question.

"It's not a show like what Sirzechs wanted to, but an actual fight. With the winner being the one who will decide Horizon and the Gremory sisters' future," I explained. "And to make things more interesting…"

I then took out a picture of me and the Hizuki sisters: Yant, Ayana, and Touko.

"If I should lose, not only you will marry the Gremory sisters and my childhood friend, but you can also have these 3 girls with you," I said, throwing my picture to him. I already got copies of those, so I'm not worried about it.

Once Raiser looked at my sisters, he smiled and said….

"Marvelous. Truly marvelous. All my life, never before I encountered…" Raiser began taking my picture into his pocket. "…Someone as stupid as you!" Raiser shouted, earning nods of agreement from only his peerage. "I accept your challenge! Let me show you the difference between a pure-blood devil like me, and someone like you! I would also be glad to add these 3 girls to my harem as well, as I would like to see the sad look on your face!" he roared.

….

….

….

"…..Hmm…" I simply laughed a bit, already knowing that Raiser has just sealed his fate. "Laughable. You honestly think you stand a chance against me alone? Rather than fighting me alone, why don't you fight together with your entire peerage, so I can prolong your agony for a bit? Plus, you'll be going against me and my Darkwater Team…."

"Ryuuji Tamiya!"

"Grey Kageyama!"

"Jake "Kurotetsu" Reynolds!"

"Kazama Kagare!"

"And Tokiya Akakmizu!"

The 5 mentioned members stood right next to me.

"That way, at least you'll have a chance against me… Right? WEAKLING!" I shouted at Raiser, his face showing an arrogance that was completely unlike his usual self. It was to the point that, even Rias, Lulu and the others were completely shocked at seeing the change that I had.

"As you wish! You WILL regret this!" Raiser shouted back. "Girls! Prepare yourselves!"

I smiled ferociously at Raiser's answer, knowing that Phase 2 is now in action.

"Oh, and by the way, I think you're the one who needs to prepare. My team and I will educate you on why you should never look down on someone, after all," I said as my expression returned to one of calmness. Raiser's anger almost went past the boiling point, and he quickly bolted out from the room. But, not before giving his message to me.

"Outside, in twenty minutes," Raiser said calmly yet there was a hint of anger behind that voice. We all stared at Raiser and his peerage exiting the room. I then turned to Hans Grosse and the Mutants, in which they all nodded silently, as they and some of my other 'buddies' are a part of this plan, too!

'So, despite being enraged…he is still more than able to control his rational thought…for now at least. Who knows what he will do once the battle has started. Doesn't matter. I have beaten Grayia, but just barely. Raiser is a walk in the park!' I truly thought.

'You bet! Our Sacred Gears are all hyped up and ready to go, and so am I! His sorry a$$ will be kicked so many times, that I will enjoy myself to the fullest!' Dark Dayo said.

'Well, let's see if they can survive my dungeon first,' I said.

It was then that someone pulled my sleeve. I turn around and was met with the face of Rias and Lulu, who looked like they were going to cry, yet angry at the same time.

"What do you think you're doing?" Rias asked.

"Don't ask a question when the answer was already given," I said, earning a cross mark on Rias' and Lulu's head.

"You challenged Raiser to a Rating game. What were you thinking?" Lulu asked after she and Rias calmed down their nerves.

"Cleaning your mess. Kicking his a$$, and taking you two and Horizon back," I answered.

"But, your opponent is Raiser! And to make matters worse, you even provoked him to fight you with his peerage! You'll die!"

"Then why did you lose?" I asked calmly yet that question sounded very harsh in the Gremory sisters' ears. "If only you have won, this wouldn't happen."

"That's because…"

"I've heard what happened from Grayfia," I said, surprising Rias and Lulu. "And you did very well, and I'm proud of you two. You tried your best, and you never gave up and gave it your all. However, I'm not surprised that he would win against you."

"…."

"Now keep this in mind. In battle, there is no such thing as cheating. Do not expect your enemy to follow your rules. You need to prepare for every possible move that the enemy might throw to you. And you failed to win not because he pulled a dirty move on you, but because you didn't prepare for the unexpected," I stated, lecturing Rias and Lulu on why they both lost.

Rias couldn't say anything, and she dejectedly lowers her head. Lulu soon followed. Thinking that I have been a little bit harsh, I put hugged the two sisters, comforting them, and the girls cried in happiness.

"And as for you, Horizon…"

The silver-haired girl finally looked at me.

"Did you improve your cooking skills yet?"

Horizon gasped, and placed her hands over her mouth, and she hugged me as well, letting all of her tears flow out of her eyes.

"Dayo… you've remembered…." said Horizon.

"I was waiting for you all this time, and now I'm here," I said to her.

I then let go of everyone, and the rest of the peerages of the Gremory sisters came over.

"I'll explain about my childhood friend, Horizon Ariadust, later. But right now, you guys get accustomed to know about Horizon, and it's time for me and my team to-"

I felt another tug, and when I turned around, a girl, who is hooded in a white cloak, said to me softly, "Master Dayo, we've found this from the bottom of the mansion…"

That voice belonged to Raynare. How did she get here?! Moreover, when I looked at what she brought, I sensed a bit of dread before finally recognizing it.

"Th-this spear is…!" I looked at Raynare under the hood with suspicion. "How did you get this? I've heard that this was only accessed by a few at the mansion."

Raynare refused to answer.

Jake groaned, "So who cares! It's something you can use against that a$$clown, right? Don't get cold feet now."

"I'm not," I growled, taking the special spear and placing it inside the top hat, which was magical, of course before smiling. "But this spear will prove most valuable in making him p*ss his pants. Thanks."

Grinning at Raynare, I signaled my Darkwater Team to head out the door, but there standing….

"Are you still going to fight?"

…was Ravel Phenex. I simply glared at her.

"Can you give me a really compelling reason for me not to?" I asked.

"It's quite simple really," Ravel said haughtily, "It doesn't matter that you're a 'Demon'. You're going to lose, just like Rias and Lulu. Do you really think you've going to beat my brother? No matter what you do, he'll just keep rising- Huh?"

We walked past her, completely tuning out her annoying reasoning.

"Hey, wait! Are you ignoring me?! I just told you you're going to lose! Why walking into your own demise?!" she snapped, fuming along the way, but Grey whipped around and pointed his index finger gun style at Ravel threateningly.

"Shut it, you little brat. Go eat some candy or something like a good girl and p*ss off!" Grey snarled before walking off with the others.

"Grr. Don't say I didn't warn you!" Ravel snapped back before heading to Raiser, only for Jake to give her the finger.

I then stopped in front of Rias, Lulu and Horizon one more time, who were trying to recover from the various emotions they felt from the past few minutes.

"Dayo, are you sure about this?" Rias started, but was interrupted by a kiss on her lips from me. "Mmm, muph?!"

After a minute, I pulled away to smiled at the blushing face of Rias.

I then kissed Lulu as well. She was smiling, too.

"Horizon, I haven't forgotten about you," I said before kissing Horizon as well.

"!" Horizon didn't say anything, but she was crying harder than ever before as she enjoyed the kiss. Every second of it. When I broke the kiss, Horizon said, "Please win!"

"Oh, don't worry. I'm not going to lose. And when we're finished with him, we're all going to get the heck out of here. Just wait for me," I said.

"Dayo…" Rias paused for a moment, before she and Lulu finally flashed a smile at their beloved. "Win!" they both shouted.

"That's the plan, my Crimson-Haired Princess, my Amethyst-Haired Princess, and my childhood friend."

Winking at them and making the three girls blush again, me and my Darkwater Team passed them and went outside, but not before saying to Sirzechs, "Sirzechs! You got the paper that I gave you?"

Sirzechs was confused, but then he saw a small piece of paper that one of the mutants has given him. When he looked at the place, he was shocked at first, but then smiled. He gave me a thumbs-up as he was ready to summon the place that Raiser, his peerage, the Darkwater Team and I will go into.

'I'm not gonna give this guy the pleasure of a quick win. That'll be too easy. I can beat him at any time, but no. I'm going to play a few tricks on him and his peerage, and make Raiser suffer the most, in more ways than one!' I thought savagely, unaffected by Raiser's killing intent.

"Now prepare yourselves Raiser and the peerage of Raiser Phenex! You are about to go into one of my special places in the Underworld: The Nightmare Dungeon!" I yelled.

As soon as I finished, a large magic circle appeared below us, and we were all transported. Hans Grosse and the mutants soon followed from inside the palace. And now, it's time to take down Raiser Phenex and his peerage!

(The Main Event is finally here! Dayo & The Darkwater Team vs Raiser & his peerage!

Location: The Nightmare Dungeon!)

** At the Main Boss Room **

Me and the rest of my Darkwater Team are sitting around a table with the huge map of the dungeon that I've got from this room that I've taken over.

"So, what's the plan, Dayo?" asked Tokiya.

"Well, we're going to play the Underworld version of Dungeons and Dragons," I said to them.

"All right! One of my favorite games!" said Kazama as he high-fived Jake.

"Now, as you know, Dungeons and Dragons is well-known for players going into a dungeon, grabbing weapons, food, and gold, and most of all, fighting monsters. Well, since this is a Rating Game and we're doing it chess-style, there will be a few twists here and there, and a whole lot of surprises," I explained to them.

"In fact, here are a few of those surprises right NOW!" I said as I pointed to a wall, in which it flips open like magic, and they are stunned at what they saw.

[G-G-G-G-Great One! Is that…?!] asked Ddraig, as if he's scared of something.

[[Noble One, you can't be serious, right?]] asked Tartarus.

When the wall opened, there were numerous weapons, but that's not all.

In the middle of the opened wall were a doll and a creature. The doll looks a like a doll who is a "Good Guy". Unfortunately, he has a lot of scars on his face, and has angry blue eyes and brown hair. Now, the reason why is because this doll is actually being possessed by a serial killer and voodoo practitioner Charles Lee Ray. However, we refer to him as….

"CHUCKY?!" the 5 Darkwater members gasped as they stood ground, but I told them to lower their weapons.

"Don't worry, guys," I said. "Chucky is on OUR side. In fact, in the 'Demon' part of the Underworld, any serial killers or monsters who die on Earth are immediately transported to our part of the world, and our world is also famous for the most graveyards that you'll ever see, which explains the creature next to him."

The creature is a hybrid. He has the upper body of an Fallen Angel (albeit with fangs in his mouth) and the lower body of an Asian Dragon. Ddraig and Tartarus didn't like what they see.

[Great One! That is the creature who has the ability to destroy the other Dragons, including your grandfather, the Great Red!] explained Ddraig.

[[And you might die even if you touch him!]] shouted Tartarus.

I then gave them another explanation.

"That's true, but since 'John' injected me with all those syringes back at his headquarters, I've recently learned that Dark Bro and I are actually able to withstand his poison. In fact, John and the 'Demon Scientists' discovered this creature when it crashed into the Realm of the Dead, the biggest graveyard in our world, and to where some of the evilest and rarest creatures lay here, sealed for all eternity, unless one of the Top Demons, like Sparda and John, wanted them to come out.

"And in this case, John wanted this creature to hate Dragons to an utmost extent, so the 'Demon Scientists' decided to give this creature an ability to deliver a curse that is so powerful, that ANY Dragon, Snake, and their possessors could die easily within milliseconds."

The Darkwater members and the Dragons inside the Sacred Gears gasped as the creature is showing killer intent not to the Darkwater Team, but to the Sacred Gears that I currently have, but I'm not fazed.

"Oh, and by the way, incidentally, this creature's name is the same as the one who was the perpetrator that influenced the first humans, Adam and Eve, to eat the Fruit of Wisdom, and was cursed by God to become a Dragon because of God's hatred on Dragons and snakes, and in this case, it was sealed in the 2nd-deepest part of the Underworld, Cocytus, then John found it and took it to the deepest part of the Underworld, in which it happens to be my world, the 'Demon' world."

"Wait! So that means this creature's name is Samael?!" asked Tokiya in disbelief.

Samuel made a huge roar that shook this room so much, it registered a 4.5 on the Richter Scale.

"I believe that roar answers your question," I said. "Plus, looking at this creature alone, he always shows jealousy, hate, pain, suffering, and resentment towards Dragons like you, Ddraig."

[Great One… I hope that-]

I changed into Dark Dayo.

"Not to worry, Ddraig-buddy!" I said. "I have the full-blood of a Demon and blood on some of the evil Gods, and in the 'Demon' World, we treat our other evil creatures who have fallen here like Samael with respect and if we're lucky, they'll trust us and follow us. If not, we'll simply seal them back into the Realm.

"Luckily for us, we have placed a special 'Demon' seal on Samael, so when he looks at Demons like us, he won't show any hatred towards us. Plus, if anyone tries to summon Samael throughout hundreds of seals plus the special seal that we've placed on him, they'll either be cursed for the rest of their life or be dead as a doornail, in which I like that part the best!"

[[I like that part about you, Noble One! Using evil to your advantage, and the other one using good to his advantage. With those 2 advantages like that, we've got nothing to lose!]] said Tartarus.

[Yeah. Except us, maybe…] said Ddraig.

I quickly changed back to my normal self.

"That's true, unfortunately. However, the irony of this is that I'm already 'cursed' not only by Dark Bro's spirit, but by some of Samael's blood that John injected in me as well."

[!]

[[!]]

"Now, you may wonder on why I'm still living healthy and Ddraig and Tartarus aren't effective in any of this. It's because John is not called 'The Greatest and Sometimes Evilest Scientist' for nothing. He has actually gathered over 2000 potions of mixed chemicals and poured it in some of Samael's blood. After months and months of testing out various chemicals, he eventually made the successful concoction of some of the deadly chemicals to wear out Samael's curse in the blood, and he injected that in me as well, as I was the 'Main Guinea Pig' for most of his experiments. Of course, I didn't know ANY of this because I was sleeping like a baby, although its as if I slept for more than 1000 years.

"Now, there's something I must tell you all. You all MUST keep all of this a secret, and I mean top-notch secret. If ANY one of you tells anyone about this, consider yourself DEAD. Got it?"

"SIR, YES SIR!" replied the 5 Darkwater Team members, knowing that they better keep their mouth shut about this conversation.

"Good," I replied. "With all that out of the way, let's go ahead and tell Raiser on where we are."

Chucky then came to life, and grabbed all the weapons next to him, surprising many of the Darkwater Team members.

** At another part of the Dungeon **

There was Raiser and his entire peerage in another large room, and Raiser's peerage used some of their magic to create a special chair for their master.

It was then an intercom came in.

"Greetings, Raiser Phenex! This is Dayo Kayode, your opponent for this Rating Game, speaking. I welcome you to my Nightmare Dungeon, which is located just below Cocytus. And to make things more entertaining, this Rating Game is now broadcast at almost all places of the Underworld, and at Heaven as well!"

The members of the Phenex peerage gasped at where they are now.

** Back at the Gremory Palace **

All the guests gasped, including both families of the Gremory and Phenex. However, Grayfia and Sirzechs all had their eyes wide open.

'C-Cocytus?! Only the some of the most insane, evil and stray Devils and Fallen Angels are sealed and I've heard that the 'Demons' are now tak-' was all Sirzechs thought before realizing of what I was going to do.

"So that's his plan," said Sirzechs.

"What is it?" asked Grayfia.

"The Nightmare Dungeon. Cocytus. Underneath that is the 'Demon World'. And all 3 of those areas are 'Demon' territory. So that means that Dayo actually has the upper-hand. Looks like that this Rating Game will certainly be the Main Event of my sisters' wedding."

Grayfia took some time to register all of that until Sirzechs said….

"That's where we met him for the first time."

Grayfia smiled. "So we did."

** At another part of the Underworld **

"Well, Dayo certainly has what it takes to defeat the Strongest Queen, but now, this is where the fun really starts," said Azazel, not noticing that a few more Fallen Angels and the same mysterious man is also watching.

** At Heaven **

"He took on The Strongest Queen, and now he's about to tackle a legendary bird known as Phoenix. This should be interesting," said Michael, as he and a few Angels gathered around.

** Back at the Dungeon with Raiser **

While everyone was shocked at where they were, Raiser was actually sweating for a little bit, but he decides to shake it off and return back to his devious attitude.

"Not to worry, my dear ladies," said Raiser. "Once we've taken care of that pony-tailed bastard, not only we'll be famous for defeating him, but my harem will virtually double!"

"And we can make him do what we want to do," said Yubelluna, making an evil smile on her face.

"That is, if I defeat him first!" said Karlamaine.

"No! The one who will defeat him will be me!" said Isabella.

"In your dreams! I'll be taking him down!" said Xuelan.

Some of the girls began to argue of who was going to defeat Dayo (That's me!), when Raiser silenced them again.

"Don't worry, ladies. We'll make sure that you all get a fair share of kicking his sorry little a$$," said Raiser. The girls smiled, knowing that they all want a piece of me.

Ravel, however, is feeling a little doubtful. 'Why do I have a feeling that we're going to lose badly?'

Before she could even respond, another intercom came. This time from Sirzechs.

"Now, seeing that both parties are in place in The Nightmare Dungeon, we shall commence the Rating game between Dayo Kayode and Raiser Phenex."

Most of the crowd is cheering on my side due to the fact that Raiser made a lot of mistakes, but he doesn't seem to care about it.

"Now, then. Start the Rating Game…NOW!"

A huge bell is heard, signaling the start of the game.

(Now, the Rating Game finally BEGINS! Now, some Gore scenes are involved, so if you don't like them, turn away NOW!)

"So, Raiser Phenex. I know that you are your peerage all want to defeat me. However, you have to go through all 5 of my Darkwater Team members first. But before you even get to them, you have to go through my dungeon. And if I were you, I would send 3 of each of your members through the 5 tunnels to your left. Raiser, I've prepared a special tunnel for you, but right now, it's locked.

"What's inside the tunnel will be your destiny. And one more piece of advice: If you see a weapon scattered around the dungeon, chances are that those weapons are the key to defeating me, and not your regular weapons. I can't wait to take you down, Raiser Phenex!"

"How dare he make fun of us when considering that our weapons aren't useful!" said Siris.

"Don't you worry about that," said Raiser. "Let's play along with the strategy he gave us, for now. When we get to him, remember to play real dirty."

"YES, MASTER!" the girls shouted.

** 5 minutes later **

Raiser planned the girls in the following tunnels:

Tunnel 1 (Ryuuji Tamiya): Mira, Marion, Bürent

Tunnel 2 (Grey Kageyama): Ravel Phenex, Ile, Nel

Tunnel 3 (Jake Reynolds): Karlamaine, Shuriya, Mihae

Tunnel 4 (Kazama Kagare): Ni, Li, Xuelan

Tunnel 5 (Tokiya Akakmizu): Yubelluna, Isabella, Siris

The girls have entered into the respective tunnels, while Raiser sits on his chair, watching all the action with all 5 monitors. The special tunnel that I have for him is closed…for now.

(3rd-Person POV)

** Area 1: With Marion, Bürent, Mira **

The 3 girls all stood within each other in a dark room. As they were trying to figure out where they are, a flicker of the light switch was heard, and when the light turned on, they were in for a surprise.

They were in the middle of a large room, surrounded by pillars, and outside of that were 3 S.S. Soldiers and 1 Mutant all having their backs on them on each side, for a total of 12 S.S. Soldiers and 4 Mutants.

"What the-?" was all Mira could say before Marion and Bürent shushed her.

"You should be quiet," said Bürent, whispering to Mira.

"If they all hear something, they could take us down," said Marion, whispering as well.

Mira now understood why they shut her up, but then she sees something.

"Look. There's a note," she said, taking the note from one of the pillars, and it read:

[If you want to escape from this room and try to fight me, the only thing I can tell you is that "Silence is Golden."

-Ryuuji Tamiya]

"Well, we have to be silent to escape," whispered Marion. "But how can we get out of here first? We're surrounded by all these pillars from all sides."

"Leave it to me!" declared Mira as she readies her staff and fire emits around her staff and breaks the pillars open!

As the 3 pillars are destroyed, the girls are surprised to find the enemies didn't notice.

"Are they dumb or something?" asked Bürent.

"No matter," said Marion. "Pillars destroyed won't attract them. So let's destroy the other ones, but very carefully."

As the girls destroyed more and more pillars to find their way out, they were confronted by one of the soldiers, who noticed them.

"Halt!" said the soldier.

"As if!" said Marion, as she and Bürent both took out their feather dusters.

"Hahaha! Are you serious? Trying to defeat me with those? Why not clean our dog's pee while you're at it?" asked the soldier.

Both Marion and Bürent were ticked. They both revealed a large knife inside the feathers.

The soldier gasped, but before he could say anything else…

STAB!

STAB!

…he was stabbed to death by both of the maids.

"Serves him right," said Bürent.

"Serves who right?" asked another voice.

When the 3 girls heard that, they slowly looked where the voice came from, and boy, did they get an unwelcoming sight.

There were the 4 Mutants and 12 S.S. Soldiers all looking at them. They heard the sound of the soldier getting killed, which proved to be a costly mistake, and they are about to find out how costly.

** In the Area 1 Boss Room **

Ryuuji was standing there, lazily as ever, ready to take a nap for no apparent reason when...

BANG! X 100

…after that short explosion, a LOT of bullets were heard. Ryuuji sighed, knowing that the girls got PWN'D by the Mutants and the S.S. Soldiers. And since the soldiers were all equipped with fire-proof vests and quick sub-machine guns, the 3 pawns didn't stand a chance!

Ryuuji quickly looks outside, and sees the carnage first-hand. The 3 girls were clearly shot in many ways, although they managed to take out 2 Mutants and 7 S.S. Soldiers, but it wasn't good enough.

"Area 1 is cleared, sir," said Ryuuji.

"Raiser Phenex's three pawns retire!" said Sirzechs.

** Main Boss Room **

"So far, so good," Dayo said. "They should remember to follow what the note said. Now, let's see on how well the girls on the—Oooh…"

The reason why Dayo stopped midway is because…

** Area 2: With Ravel, Ile, Nel **

The 3 girls are in the Jungle Area, which means that there is a LOT of trees….

…trees that were easily cut down by the twins. Not to mention some of them being burned. And the Jungle Officials were P*SS*D! They and some of the Jungle Monsters, including Vulture Demons, Blood Hawks, Frog Demons, just to name a few, are all pursuing them at incredible speed!

However, the twins seemed to enjoy themselves at they used their chainsaws to cut down all the monsters that stood in their way, but that doesn't mean that Ravel can't act either. In fact, she had to use some of her fire powers and wind powers to kill the monsters. Unfortunately, the more monsters they killed, even more new monsters popped up, larger and stronger than ever. Not to mention the fact that the girls were going deeper and deeper into the Jungle, missing a few useful weapons along the way.

As the girls finally found a place to rest, they get an unexpected surprise…

"Hello ladies…"

"Look! It's the cute white-haired guy!" said Ile.

"Cute indeed…" said Ravel.

They somehow reached into the DEEPEST part of the Jungle, where Grey was waiting for them.

"Hmph. Well I'm surprised that you weasels managed to make it this far," said Grey. "Looks like I have to work extra hard…"

"Who are you calling a weasel?!" asked Ile.

"Never mind that. We're going to take you down so we can get to that black guy!" said Nel.

"No can do," Grey replied. "I won't be going that easy from the likes of you!"

As Grey got ready to fight, he knew that he had to be careful, because his hormones could go off at any moment, making Ile, Nel, and Ravel fall in love with him. Luckily for him, it doesn't work on his enemies or people who have magic; in this case, Devils, Fallen Angels, and Angels.

"Tear him down to bits and pieces!" said the twins together as their chainsaws were at Max Speed. At the same time, fire begins to spread around the saws, surprising Grey for a bit.

"Impressive, but check this out," said Grey as he brought out his own "saws". As in sawed-off shot guns! "And since you're going to play hard, I should too."

Grey then put himself in "Dark Energist" mode. He then places some special bullets inside his 2 gun-chucks, but before he could make a single shot, the twins were on to him.

"Cut him down! Cut him down!" they said.

When Grey managed to avoid the twins' attack, he saw the floor not only cut in half, but also made a huge burnt mark in the process. As soon as he recovered, the twins were ready for Round 2.

"So Grey, you may have some good weapons, but we are quicker and faster than you. So you might as well give up now," said Ravel.

Grey took no notice, but inside he was very angry at Ravel, so he decided to get even with her.

"Oh really?" Grey asked. "Then how about you get a taste of THIS!"

Grey quickly aimed his guns at Ravel and fired the bullets at blazing speed, but the twins managed to use the chainsaws to block the paintballs, protecting Ravel in the process.

"You going to have to do better than that," said Ile.

"Yeah, and we don't want our Ravel to have her dress in a sticky mess," said Nel.

"Not only that, but I think it's about time that you burn yourself into a crisp!" said Ravel, as she began to form a huge fireball that is as hot as 520 degrees F! And the fireball is so hot, even the twins had to give her some room, and the room itself began to melt!

'Shoot! If I don't get rid of them now, I might lose!' Grey thought as he felt the floor and the walls begin to heat up quickly! Then he realized that the twins are heading towards him while he was distracted.

'Right! It's time to make my move, NOW!' thought Grey as he quickly placed in some special bullets inside his shotguns.

He looked up to see the twins ready to attack him.

"It's time for you to DIE!" said the twins as they aimed their saws at him!

'This better work!' said Grey as he shot the 'bullets' towards the twins. And luckily for him, the bullets have hit their marks!

When the 'bullets' hit the twins, they felt extreme pain and they let go of their chainsaws, and they avoided Grey by inches!

"Aah! I'm bleeding!" said Ile.

"Me too!" said Nel.

They don't realize is that these 'bullets' are actually red paintballs.

'Now's my chance!' said Grey as he quickly went to the twins and knocked them out cold with the nunchucks from his gun-chucks.

"And now, Ravel. You're next!" said Grey as took away his gun-chucks and pulled one of his special weapons: "Gungir", his collapsible sniper. He loaded one of his special bullets that can go through any type of elemental attack, and considering that he's about to burnt by Ravel's fireball, he's going to need it!

"This ends NOW!" said Ravel as she releases her fireball.

Grey took deep concentration, and when he aimed directly at the fireball, he could also see Ravel behind it. Just as the large fireball is about to attack him, Grey fires the shot.

** Main Boss Room **

BOOM!

Dayo could only watch intensively as the screen where Grey's battle occurred is completely knocked out. He doesn't know what happened, but he knew that Grey's battle is over, and all he could do is wait for Sirzechs to say something…

A few minutes pass.

Then the screen comes back to life, and what Dayo saw stuns him.

'As I suspected…' Dayo thought to himself. 'Her magic supply is much larger and stronger than her brother's, and…'

He narrowed his eyes as he saw of what was one of the boss rooms now look like a warzone. '…She actually capable of altering the shape of her fire…'he amusedly thought. 'But still….'

** At the Gremory Palace **

Many of the Devils were surprised at Grey's battle, including the Gremory sisters and Sona.

"Is that…phoenix wings?" Sona asked, with her voice carried both uncertainty and astonishment. In the distance, there is a pair of wings rising to the sky. But, what makes it different from other kind of wings is the fact that it composed of purely fire.

"Yes, and those are Ravel's," answered Lord Phenex, who appeared from out of nowhere. Sona and the Gremory sisters jumped slightly, because of the sudden appearance of the older man. They turn around to face him, but suddenly Lord Phenex let out a hearty laugh. "Hohohoh~. I don't know what you are trying to accomplish by bringing her to such state…but I'll leave her in your capable hands, young one." Lord Phenex said while laughing. The young devils, who have no idea what he was talking about, stares at each other and then they shrugged.

** Area 2:With Ravel, Ile, Nel **

"Hah…hah….hah…." That was the sound of Ravel's erratic breathing. Despite being tired, she still managed to calmly observe and analyze her current situation.

Around her is, literally, a scene that looks like it came out straight from war movies. The ground, the walls and the trees are scorched. The burning smell lingers in the air. Everything in the radius of fifty meters couldn't possibly survive after being hit by what Ravel had unleashed. After all, what she had unleashed was a 520 degree Fahrenheit explosion. The heat was more than a half of lava's lowest heat, and even if the explosion didn't directly hit, it would still be painful to stand on the same place as she is.

Even the twins didn't stand a chance as they were completely burned.

"Raiser Phenex's two pawns retire!" said Sirzechs.

What Ravel saw next was unbelievable! There was Grey Kageyama, with his clothes completely burnt, and even though he's suffering multiple degree-burns, he's still standing and in good shape! That's because he's half-vampire. And in times when he's in a desperate situation, he can turn himself into a bat, but only for up to 5 minutes. However, that was all the time he needed to avoid getting completely burned as he was small enough to escape through one of the doors behind him and head outside, and rise high enough for him to avoid the deadly attack.

Ravel knew nothing of this, but Grey clapped his hands for her performance.

"Well, you maybe not as smart as some people, but you certainly are resourceful," Grey complimented. "At first… I thought you were merely shielding yourself from the steam by engulfing your entire body with fire. But…I now remember why Dayo told us that not only you are one formidable opponent, but also about one other element that is a natural affinity of the Phenex…wind.

"What you actually did…was compressing the fire and the wind together and created a bomb with yourself acting as the detonator. The method of your attack was similar to a suicide bomb, and in Dayo's case a Suicide Clone, and if it was someone else who did that it would be extremely foolish. But you… You took advantage of your so called immortality to survive. Clever move, but we've been through even worse explosions."

"How?"

"Hmm…"

"How did you come out unscathed? Even though your clothes are completely burnt?" asked Ravel.

"Well, let me ask you something. Who is stupid enough to reveal his secrets to an enemy when asked?" Grey asked in cold voice.

Ravel soon became very annoyed at what Grey said to her.

"And besides. Ask one question at a time. Your voice alone is already hurting my ears," said Grey.

Now Ravel soon became angry.

"Ugaaaa~h!" she screamed while throwing her hands to the sky. "Gaaaah! Gaaaaaa~h!" she continued screaming incoherently while swinging her hands and stomping her legs. Grey sweat-dropped at her sudden change of behavior, but then he notices something else.

"!"

Ravel soon saw blood coming out of her body. Remember when Grey fired the shot? Well, the bullet not only cut Ravel's huge fireball in half, creating two mini-explosions instead of one big explosion in which he had no time to escape, but the bullet also hit Ravel in the stomach with deadly accuracy.

"You…YOU!" Ravel shouted before releasing another massive fireball at Grey, but he managed to avoid that with inches to spare. "How did you manage to hit me?!"

"Again. Don't ask stupid questions," Grey answered.

Ravel got angrier, but then she remembered something.

'Ah yes!' she thought as she took out a bottle that is filled with 'water'. After she drank the bottle, Grey is surprised to see Ravel back in good condition, and the bullet hole which pierced her stomach disappeared, but that doesn't mean she's completely healed. The 'water' may have healed her injuries, but her loss of blood from her stomach is irreversible.

'So that's the Phoenix Tears thing that Dayo has told us! If the others have those, then we are at a disadvantage!' Grey thought. 'Sorry, Ravel, but you must be taken down.'

** Area 3: With Karlamaine, Shuriya, Mihae **

The 3 girls were walking in a long hallway with no enemies in sight.

"Just think, as we defeat Dayo, many people will now see as the Strongest Peerage in the Underworld!" said Karlamaine, getting more and more excited.

"Well, you're not the only one to show off," said Shuriya.

"Indeed," said Mihae. "And some of the weapons we saw doesn't suit us."

"Of course not," said Karlamaine. "I am a Knight, and I'm proud of it."

Too bad for them, because some of those weapons were Flamethrowers, Large Sub-Machine Guns, and AK-47s that could've easily defeat Jake as he is afraid of guns.

As they kept walking down the hallway, they don't realize that a big nasty trap is waiting for them around the corner…

** 5 minutes later **

Shuriya, Karlamaine, and Mihae finally reached the end of the hallway when they came across a junction.

In front of them are two doors that are locked with various keys on the right wall; on the left side were two gray blocks that said "WALK THROUGH THIS WALL", and on the right was a red button and a message pointing to the button that said, "DO NOT PUSH THIS BUTTON!"

Then an intercom came.

"Well, you've finally made it. Sorry about that long hallway, but now, you're about to face some very unique opponents. There's a problem, though: You can only choose one. Now if you're smart, you should take out the obvious choice right away. Then you all must decide which other path to choose.

"Be careful, though. Should you try to split up in different directions, you will SUFFER!"

Once the girls heard that, they were immediately suspicious.

"He may be playing a trick on us," said Mihae.

"So, let's play a trick on him!" said Shuriya as she stood in the center of the field and blasted the red button with one energy sphere, and blasted the locked doors with another.

It turns out that it was a bad choice on her part.

All of a sudden, a black hole began to emerge from the floor and on top of Shuriya, and by the time she realizes that she wasn't standing on solid ground…

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

…it was too late.

"Raiser Phenex's one Pawn retires!" said Sirzechs.

Karlamaine and Mihae were surprised, and that's not all.

The path that had the locked doors was now replaced by an electric fence filled with venomous snakes, and on the right path, the wall was destroyed by TWO GIANT 8-BALL POOL BALLS!

And the Pool Balls are heading right straight for Karlamaine and Mihae!

"Quick! We must go through those blocks!" said Mihae.

"R-Right!" said Karlamaine as they headed through the gray blocks, and when they got to the other side, they saw a large area filled with various black holes.

The intercom came again.

"You have chosen poorly. Now you were forced to arrive at The Coliseum. Now not only you'll have to fight various monsters in this room, but you'll have to keep on your toes as well. You'll see what I mean. Hahaha!"

As soon as the intercom ended, various monsters, demons, and Mutants came out of the walls, and if that wasn't bad enough, MORE Giant and Deadly 8-Ball Pool Balls were waiting at the other side of the room!

"All right! Bring it on!" said Karlamaine as she got her sword ready.

Mihae used various fire magic to destroy some of the enemies that were coming towards her.

Karlamaine, being the sword maniac that she is, is now pumped up as she uses her sword, along with fire power, to destroy many enemies, including the Mutants.

"Is that the best you can do?" asked Karlamaine as she kept on taking the Mutants, avoiding their quick-fire bullets.

She was having the time of her life, and soon, she and Mihae destroyed the enemies with ease, that is until they arrived at the other side of the room where the Pool Balls begin to close in. Not to mention that some of the Black Holes began moving too, but they didn't know that.

"Great. More of those annoying Pool Balls…" said Karlamaine.

Mihae was about to say something, but then she notices some of the Black Holes have red eyes and arms, and they are moving towards them! She then remembers the intercom saying that they have to keep on their toes.

"K-Karlamaine! We have to move! Those holes are coming towards us!" warned Mihae.

"They surprised us, but they won't surprise us this time!" said Karlamaine.

Both Karlamaine and Mihae had to take some serious evasive action, avoiding the Pool Balls and Black Holes along the way. Some of the Pool Balls weren't lucky as they fell through the Black Holes as well. That has given the girls an idea. They decided to lure the Pool Balls into the Black Holes, as well as some of the other enemies. They all took the bait, and soon Karlamaine and Mihae regrouped and managed to get to the other side of the room.

There, they saw two doors. The intercom came again.

"Well done. You've managed to make it this far! Now, you have one more obstacle left that stands between you and Jake: these two doors. Choose the right one, and you'll fight Jake, but if you choose the wrong one, all of that work you did was for NOTHING!"

"This is it! We're almost there!" said Karlamaine.

"Should we choose each door, or we go through the same door?" asked Mihae.

Karlamaine had to think it through. She doesn't like the thought of having her comrades as sacrificial pieces, but if they both go through the same door, and they chose wrong, they'll both suffer the consequences; however, if they choose right, they have a better chance to fight Jake; but if they go through both doors, only one will have to fight Jake.

It was a tough decision for Karlamaine to make. And suddenly, they're beginning to run out of time as they noticed that the Black Holes are closing in. It was then that Karlamaine made her decision, and that decision is to…

"We'll go through both of the doors," she said, with a little bit of regret. "I'll take the right one, and you take the left one."

Mihae nodded. They knew that one will be eliminated, and the other one will fight Jake.

"Right. On the count of 3," said Mihae. "1…"

"2…"

It was then that the Black Holes are almost at their feet.

"3!"

They opened the doors.

And it turns out that Mihae made the wrong choice, as she arrived at a Dead End with two walls saying "GET LOST!"

Mihae turned around to see that an army of Giant 8-Ball Pool Balls have trapped her. She tried to use her magic to destroy them, but it does nothing! The Pool Balls squashed her for the inevitable kill.

"Raiser Phenex's one Bishop retires!" said Sirzechs.

At the other side, Karlamaine has finally arrived at the boss room where she confronts Jake.

"At long last, a cute lady stands before me!" said Jake.

"Cut the crap! Now, it's only you and me! Prepare to die by the blade of my sword!" said Karlamaine.

"How about we deal with spikes and knives?" said Jake as he took out some throwing axes, knives, switchblades, and a variety of lightning throwers.

"Your knives vs. my sword? This shouldn't take too long," said Karlamaine before she advances towards Jake.

** A few minutes later **

"Tch!" said Karlamaine as she had to block more knives from Jake.

"Come on, now! Is that all there is? You, trying to throw knives at me? We already know who's going to win this easy battle!"

"Easy, huh?" said Jake, getting a little annoyed. "Then how about this!"

A large pillar came from the floor behind him, and when he touched his prosthetic metal arm to the pillar, electricity forms all around his arm, and he feels fine. Also, Karlamaine doesn't know is that when Jake gains electricity, his ability of superhuman agility kicks in. Also, he can electromagnetically control his blades to a point where his opponents have no chance of avoiding the attacks.

And Karlamaine found that out…

STAB! STAB! STAB!

… the hard way. Here's what happened.

Two knives froze when they were about to hit her, confusing her in the process. While she was confused, Jake took off at blazing speed and took the knives, went behind her, and stabbed her twice in the back with each one containing 5,000 volts. The third one was stabbed point-blank at her neck. She had no time to react from any of this.

"Raiser Phenex's one Knight retires!" said Sirzechs.

"All right, Big D! This section has been cleared!" said Jake.

** Main Boss Room **

"Well done, Jake," Dayo said. "Had they got those guns, it would've been an easy victory for them. Standby for further instructions."

He then turned to Chucky and said, "All right, buddy. It's go time."

"Hahaha! Leave it to me, boss!" said Chucky as the evil voodoo doll made his way to Tunnel #5, where Tokiya is waiting for the 3 strongest members of Raiser's peerage to arrive, but first…

** Area 4: With Ni, Li, and Xuelan **

The 3 girls are now in a hedge maze, and they managed to kill some monsters with ease. However, as they got deeper into the maze, they knew that they were lost. What they didn't realize is that every enemy encountered actually leads them closer to Kazama. They have managed to pick a few weapons, including a flaregun, and some metal gloves for Ni and Li.

"These look nice, nya!" said Ni.

"Although they're a little heavy, nya…" said Li.

Now, you may be wondering why doesn't Xuelan use her fists and feet and emit fire to destroy the large hedge walls?

Well, it turns out that not only the hedge walls are fireproof, but there are also Zombies that came out of it, scaring the 3 girls.

As the girls continued down going through the hedge maze, they were beginning to grow more and more impatient, and at the same time, Chucky is watching their progress from a tree.

** 10 minutes later **

"Argh! Where is the end?!" asked Xuelan.

The girls fought more enemies as they kept walking throughout the maze, but little did they know is that at the end of the maze, there is a red-Hulk-a-like monster and some deadly bats stands between them and Kazama.

"I'm getting tired, nya…" said Li.

"Wait! We're almost there, nya!" said Ni as she pointed at the red arrow that said "EXIT: Next 2 Turns."

The girls were relieved, but that was short-lived when they confronted the monster.

"Kyaaaa!" the catgirl twins screamed.

"Leave this to me!" said Xuelan as she attempts to kill the monster with a flying fire-kick, but the monster caught the leg, and threw Xuelan into a metal wall with great force!

BAM!

"Nya! We must help her, nya!" Ni told Li.

"Yeah, and we can also use these gloves and see on how they turn out, nya!" said Li.

And it's a good thing they did, because what they saw was bats.

Bats holding shotguns with their feet!

The twins could hardly believe their eyes, and the bat wastes no time using them!

The twins managed to avoid getting hit from the bat shooting them with its feet. Ni and Li tried to hit the bats, but they were too quick and tried to shoot them both, but they managed to avoid their attacks once again.

Suddenly, Xuelan noticed an opportunity to get out of the maze.

"Girls, let's go!" Xuelan shouted. The twins nodded and proceeded to the Exit of the maze, and luckily for them, the monster and the bats didn't follow them. What's more is that they've found Kazama, who applauses them for their efforts to escape.

"Now, I've heard that you three are fighters," said Kazama. "This should be good."

Xuelan moved in first as she made various fire kicks and fire punches towards Kazama, but since he is a master at taekwondo, he manages to avoid her attacks with ease, giving his body a good exercise. Also knowing that his tissues from his left arm are destroyed, his best weapon is kicking, as he matched Xuelan's strong kicks and even her strong punches move for move for a good 10 minutes with neither of them breaking any sweat.

He also managed to hit Ni and Li with a double low-kick combo, while they managed to punch him in the stomach in the process, but he wasn't going to let that stop him from whatever he's doing.

As the fight continued, Kazama could hear the monsters from the hedge maze beginning to close in, and that's when he thought up of an idea.

He's going to play a few tricks on them first, and then send them flying!

"Hey girls! Come and catch me if you can!" said Kazama, lowering his left eyelid and sticking his tongue at them before running away.

Xuelan, Ni, and Li were furious and they follow Kazama in hot pursuit.

"Ni! Li! We need to catch him before he goes back into that damn hedge maze!" said Xuelan.

"Right!" both Ni and Li said.

Unfortunately, Kazama already went into the hedge maze, but the girls followed him. Then, for some strange reason, Kazama makes high jump and then keeps on running.

"Why did he jump, nya?" asked Ni.

"Maybe he's trying to-" was all Li could say before they suddenly got stopped by something as if they hit an invisible wall.

That's because Kazama placed a cling film between the walls and on the path that many college kids would do to their classmates in the dorms.

"D-Damn it! That guy is pulling tricks!" said Xuelan as she made a fiery right kick to destroy the film, and then tried to catch Kazama again.

But every time they caught up to him, they would fall for his tricks time and time again; from going down to an invisible pit, to one of the walls pushing the girls to another direction; from tripping from invisible cords, to scarecrows acting like the Headless Horseman, scaring the girls once more.

After going through 20 minutes of Kazama's tricks, they've finally caught up to him one more time at an open field, and by now, they are very TICKED!

"Enough with this foolishness!" said Xuelan. "Either you fight us, or give up now!"

"Well, since you want a fight, then you've came to the right place, but at the wrong time!" said Kazama, making a devilish smirk on his face. "Ka, Ma, Tachi!"

His 3 weasel familiars came out of his pocket, and then Kazama spun around, and around, and around…

The girls were confused at first, thinking that he was crazy, but a few seconds later, that thought was out the window quickly, because what they saw next was incredible!

Kazama kept on spinning in the middle of an open field, and then wind began to kick in, and the speed was going faster, and faster, and faster until a very thick funnel was created in front of the girls' eyes. Then they noticed of what Kazama is really doing.

"I-Is that guy making a twister?!" asked Xuelan in disbelief while trying to hold her ground as the wind speeds up.

The twins, feeling like that they're being pulled, answer her question.

"L-Looks like it, nyaaaa!" said Ni.

"We must retreat, nyaa!" said Li.

However, the large twister is now complete as it begins to suck anything within a 10-mile radius with winds speeding up to an incredible 340 mph! That is more powerful than an F5 Tornado!

Xuelan, Ni and Li were very unlucky because they were in front of Kazama a few seconds ago, and trying to get out of there was impossible, and they soon found out.

The girls screamed as they were picked up by the force of the twister's pull as they were sucked inside, spinning them around time and time again. The girls couldn't open their eyes because of how powerful the twister is that Kazama made. Suddenly, the twister spit the girls out, sending them flying into the deepest part of the hedge maze.

With 3 big thuds, Xuelan, Ni, and Li were very dizzy and were ready to throw up at any moment.

"T-That guy…is a monster…nyaaa…." groaned Ni.

"I hope…things….can't get…any worse than this…nyaaa…." moaned Li.

Unfortunately, they were wrong as they noticed something slithery grabbing their arms and legs. The girls all knew that this wasn't going to end well.

"Y-You and your big mouth!" said Xuelan before she, and the twins were completely wrapped up in large moving vines, and the last thing the girls saw was the mouth of a large, man-eating Piranha Plant!

Back at the open field, Kazama could hear the girls screaming before the Piranha Plant chewed them.

"Raiser's Phenex's two Pawns and one Rook retires!" said Sirzechs.

"Well, that was fun!" said Kazama. "This area is all clear, Dayo!"

** At the Main Boss Room **

"Well done, Kazama!" Dayo said. "Chucky did a good job with that Piranha Plant and the Quick-Growing Water that I gave him earlier."

So, 4 sections down, 1 more to go, and it's a biggie.

"So, let's see how the strongest members of the Phenex Peerage deal with Chucky and Tokiya," he said as he watches the last screen.

** Area 5: With Yubelluna, Isabella, Siris **

The 3 girls had to deal with a LOT of monsters, mutants, Hans Grosse, the works! They all managed to pick up a few weapons along the way, and even though monsters gave the girls damage, they're quickly recovered thanks to Phoenix Tears that Yubelluna stored in her cleavage.

What they didn't know is that the more enemies they kill, the bigger the advantage Tokiya and Chucky will get.

"Man, this is easy," said Siris, taking down a few more enemies with her large broadsword.

"Maybe a little too easy... Stay on your guard," said Isabella punching a few more enemies.

"Stay on guard? Against these so-called enemies? They don't stand a chance," said Yubelluna, making more fire spells in the air to destroy a copied-version of Hans Grosse and his minions.

It was then that 'Chucky' came out from one of the copied-versions of Hans Grosse.

"What is that disgusting looking doll doing here?" asked Siris.

(Warning: The fun with 'Chucky' begins!)

"Hi! I'm Chucky! I'm your good friend to the end! Hi-de-ho!" the doll said.

"That doll looks harmless," said Isabella. "I think we should place it somewhere else."

"I think you made a wrong decision," said Chucky. Then, his eyes turned red, and then suddenly Tokiya came in.

"You shouldn't have said something like that to him," said Sui.

"Says you!" said Yubelluna. "No matter. I think it's high time that we take you down right now since you're the only one left."

"Oh? Think again," said Sui as he pointed to the enemies that have been killed. Or so they thought.

The enemies that have been killed are alive again, and now, there are hammers, axes, and swords floating around all over the place in a red aura. That red aura belongs to 'Chucky.'

"T-That doll! It's as if he possessed by a serial killer or something!" said Isabella, who is now getting scared.

"I'm impressed," said Tokiya. "In fact, he IS possessed by a serial killer, and you're about to find out just how dangerous he really is. Now, let's start all over again. On my mark."

"Oh, no you don't!" said Yubelluna, completing her fire spells to destroy the enemies again. However, they stood up again as if they didn't take the hit at all.

"Siris, let's cut them down to pieces!" said Isabella.

"Right!" said Siris, getting her sword ready.

"Come on, you sl*tty b*tch*s! Let's play!" said Chucky as the floating weapons begin to move towards the three girls! Siris, Isabella and Yubelluna managed to avoid them, however some of them were a little too close for comfort. That's because 'Chucky' is controlling them. Then, he brought out something.

"Wait! What is that?" asked Isabella.

"This is a voodoo doll, a$$hole!" said Chucky. "And I'm not afraid to use it!"

Chucky twisted the voodoo doll's left leg, as soon as it did that…

CRACK!

"Ahh!" that was the sound of Siris screaming as her left leg is now twisted.

"Oh no! That doll is controlling Siris!" said Isabella, who is now scared.

"Yeah, and now it's time to goodnight, b*tch!" said Chucky as he took one of the floating axes, and pierced through the voodoo's doll body, which means…

"Hnnng!"

Siris's body is now axed!

"Raiser Phenex's one Knight retires!" said Sirzechs.

"How dare you do that our comrade!" said Isabella. She was about to attack Chucky when…

STAB!

She got stabbed by a knife, thrown by Chucky.

"H-How did you…"

"Come now, Isabella," said Sui. "You should've known by now that he can move, too."

"Y-Yubelluna! Need some help here!" said Isabella, but Yubelluna is busy destroying those monsters, in which they still keep on reviving, thanks to 'Chucky's' mind. In the process, she used 2 out of the 3 Phoenix Tears.

"This shouldn't happen!" screamed Isabella. "We're supposed to play this match fair and square!"

"Well, in the Nightmare Dungeon, we always play dirty," said Sui. "And Chucky told us that you guys and Raiser wanted to play dirty, so that's what we're doing too."

It was then that Tokiya began to change. He now takes on a wilder look. His hair is now more similar to Grimmjow Jaquerjaques of the Bleach fame, being spiked up a little more. He also no longer wears glasses while in this form. His personality is now changed from calm to violent. Now he turns from Tokiya "Sui" Akakmizu to Tokiya "Ketsu" Akakmizu.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! It's good to be back!" said Ketsu.

Isabella was now scared looking at Ketsu. Unfortunately, she's about to go into a Nightmare of her own.

The blood from the dead 'enemies' somehow takes shape as Ketsu forms enough blood to make to a huge-monk spade.

"Now, are you ready to fight me? Huh? Huh? Huh?" asked Ketsu.

Isabella gulped, but she was ready to take him on.

Chucky watched as he knew who was going to win this one.

It was Ketsu, hands down, with three moves.

1. Moving faster than the speed of sound.

2. Getting behind Isabella, and

3. Piercing her body (and heart) with the spade.

And it all happened in less than 2 seconds.

"Man, man, man! You are so weak and slow!" said Ketsu before changing back to Sui.

"Raiser Phenex's one Rook retires!" said Sirzechs.

Yubelluna is the only one left, and she is about to use the last of the Phoenix Tears, but a hook caught it first, and it was then given it to Chucky.

"You!" said Yubelluna.

Chucky simply broke the bottle in two and laughed and gave her the middle finger, enraging her.

"Then how about THIS!" she said, engulfing Chucky in a wall of flames. Then, in her rage, she developed the whole entire area in flames, becoming an inferno.

A few minutes, she calmed herself, and she heard nothing.

"Hmph. That'll teach you all to underestimate me as Master's Queen!" said Yubelluna.

"Oh, yeah?"

That was Chucky, who somehow has managed to get on Yubelluna's back, and when she looked at him, she gets a first-hand look of his evil face, scaring her.

In fact, she's so shocked, Chucky took this opportunity to shove up a grenade in her throat!

"Well, I hope you have a BLAST!" said Chucky before he jumps off of Yubelluna, and in a few seconds, Yubelluna has exploded in a thousand pieces!

"Raiser Phenex's Queen retires!" said Sirzechs.

"We're clear here," said Tokiya before giving Chucky a high-5.

** At the other part of the Dungeon **

"DAMN IT!" yelled Raiser, throwing a few fireballs all over the place. Obviously, he was angry that all of pieces got either obliterated, destroyed, eaten, or all other cool things.

"Well, well, well," Dayo said in an intercom. "Looks like your pieces are no match for my Darkwater Team and my fabulous friends of mine. Now we're ready for the main course: Phase 3! You and Me!"

It was then the special door opened, and Raiser knew that it was time.

"Get ready, Dayo Kayode! You will be flamed and burned down to a crisp!" said Raiser as he went into the special tunnel.

** At the Main Boss Room **

(Dayo POV)

"Good work, my fine fellows of Darkwater! All of you will deserve a big break and reward from me when all's said and done!" I said. "And now, it's time to enter the third and final phase of my plan. Ddraig, Tartarus, are you ready to take down the Phoenix King himself?"

[You bet I am, Great One!] said Ddraig.

[[I'm ready to go!]] said Tartarus.

"All right, let's do this!" I said as I exit out the Boss Room, locking up the room for security reasons.

(It's FINALLY time for the fight between Dayo Kayode & Raiser Phenex! Enjoy!)

Both Raiser and I are now outside of the Nightmare Dungeon, and needless to say, Raiser is cross. Let's make him crosser still.

"First you barged into my wedding, challenge my authority in front of my guests, vulgarly insult me, you kissed my fiancés, and now you killed my precious pieces?!" Raiser snarled.

"Well, first of all, Raiser," I began. "Those pieces are not killed. Secondly, you said that your pieces are sacrificial. And third, I can't wait to take you down as well, birdbrain!"

"I'm going to kill you, you worm!" Raiser snarled.

"Then, go ahead. Make your move!" I said, challenging him.

(Cue Battle Theme: Castle Totenkopf: Snipers in the Shadows)

Raiser quickly made a large fireball and threw it towards me. I then stopped the fireball with my own two feet, and was able to play around with it like a soccer ball, and then I spewed out an even hotter fireball, combined it with Raiser's fireball, and kicked it right back towards him.

Not taking a chance, Raiser bought out his flaming wings and flew up to avoid the sea of flames that poured out of the arena.

"How the hell did you do that?!" Raiser demanded as he landed back in the arena. "There's no way you create that huge of a flame, especially with my fire!"

"Mmm, guess I got lucky," I shrugged. "I'm surprised you didn't even suspect my Boosted Gear. I mean, it does have the power of the Red Dragon Emperor, who is a Dragon."

"Don't insult my intelligence you lowly Devil. I already know about your Sacred Gear. It keeps doubling the power of the user of every ten seconds. As it matures with training, it can also gain the ability to transfer the multiplied power. But, do you really think it's enough to win against the immortal phoenix?"

"Maybe. In fact, I believe it's high time to show you how fearsome I can be. Boosted Gear! Let's go!"

[Boosted Gear: Activate!]

"Oh, no you don't!" said Raiser, as he launched another fireball towards me.

As soon as he launched the fireball…

PUNCH!

I came to Raiser quickly and gave him a good punch in the face with my right fist! And already, his left cheek is sore!

"H-How did you punch me so hard like that?" Raiser demanded, with his left cheek beginning to heal.

"Well, do you really think that I'm a low-class Devil?" I asked him. "What if I told you that I'm a 'Demon'? A 'Demon' who has started this very Great War and even has the blood of the famous Dark Knight Sparda?"

Raiser gasped in shock.

"Im-Impossible!"

"It's possible, all right, and you're about to experience it first-hand!"

"As if that's going to happen!" said Raiser, charging towards me.

Raiser and I charged at each other and engaged in a physical fight when we clashed down the middle. I dodged Raiser's flaming fist and countered with a combination of fists and kicks infused with 'Demon Power' as the Boosted Gear continued to gather power. Raiser started to grow frustrated not being able to land a blow on me, and threw a wild haymaker. I quickly took that opportunity to give Raiser a few more punches in his head several times, including a hard left punch to his jaw with the Boosted Gear. Raiser stumbled back as I summoned several SuperClones each with an MCS Mk3 and MCS Mk4 with 'Demon-Powered Bullets' and swarmed him with various shots coming from all directions, before they stepped closer, and fired multiple rounds towards Raiser at point-blank range.

Raiser, shot in many places, but is still able to fight, conjured a fireball and fired it at the clones, destroying them all while I was still standing. Growling, Raiser fired off his fireballs rapidly in a scatter shot-like manner, and I circled around dodging the blasts until I made a sharp turn, rushing towards the High-class Devil. Raiser fired a huge fireball that engulfed me as I got closer. Thinking he won, he received a rude wake-up call in the form of me rushing out of the flames with me being covered in my own flames(not Raiser's), and then dissipating it with my own power.

[EXPLOSION!] said the Boosted Gear.

** Back at Area 2 **

"What? He's...overpowering Big Brother... But how..." Ravel whispered as her brother received another hard blow.

"They say that you shouldn't count your chickens before they hatch," Grey advised her. "So never underestimate us, or our boss for that matter."

(Battle theme fade out)

** Back outside the Dungeon **

I then made an attempt to kick Raiser in the balls, but he grabbed me offending leg and reached a flaming hand towards my head to fry me, but I beat him to it by burning his face first, causing Raiser to stumble back, only to be met by a wicked right cross to his face from me, and then the 'Demon-Powered Bullets' began to take effect, sending him to the ground.

It was then that Raiser saw me in Angel mode as my 2 Giant White wings appeared behind me.

"A-Angel wings?!" asked Raiser in shock.

"That's right!" I said before creating 10 Holy Light Spears and threw down towards Raiser.

Raiser managed to avoid most of the Light Spears, but the last one was a little too fast for him, and it made direct hit to his left leg!

"AHHHHH!" Raiser screamed in horror. The Holy Energy from the Light Spear and the Demon-Powered Bullets mixed together has proven to give some Critical Damage as his legs, arms, stomach and face begin to burn.

** At the Gremory Palace **

"T-That man is a 'Demon'"!

"H-How can he do all of that?!"

Even the authorities of both families are in shock, but Sirzechs and Grayfia are looking at the battle in awe. Little did they know is that the biggest part of the battle was about to occur…

** Back outside the Dungeon **

Raiser is still trying to heal himself, but the healing process is now 70% slower than usual.

[Raiser's down for the moment! It's time!] said Ddraig.

"I'm way ahead of you, man!" I said as Raiser's wounds are halfway healed.

"Raiser, prepare to face your biggest nightmare! Oh, Power of Sparda, bestow your power within me! Let's go Boosted Gear: Level 3!"

[WELSH DRAGON OVER BOOSTER!]

A magic circle appeared and enlarged to become as big as me, unleashing a sparkling red spectral dragon and an image of a special Black Demon that circled around me until they entered my back at the same time as the magic circle phased though me, created a blinding flash of crimson light.

When the light died down, a red-black armored being stood in the place of me. A black helmet covering the entire head with a clear visor over angry red eyes that shows a heads-up display inside and a very long dragon ponytail on the back of the helmet, and there are 2 giant metal boots, and the black iron armor covering the whole body and has the strength of 200,000 strong men. On the shoulder pads are 2 Rocket Launchers. On both of my hands are 2 heavy Machineguns, and in the black armor is the Plasma/Lightning Gun!

[Complete: Iron Death Knight Dragon Booster!]

"Raiser Phenex!" I said to him. "You are now looking at the combination of Devil Trigger and the Red Dragon Emperor's Power! This is the NEW Scale Mail for Boosted Gear: Iron Death Knight Dragon Booster! Prepare to be reach your Final Destination: FEAR!"

** At the Gremory Palace **

"The forbidden move…" said Rias.

"Balance Breaker," said Lulu.

"The forbidden diabolical magic," Sirzechs said in confirmation.

"To Dayo, some things like that are not forbidden to him, especially when he's the grandson of The Great Red," said Grayfia.

** Back outside the Dungeon **

'So, Ddraig, how do you feel about your new armor?' I asked him.

[I feel great! It's as if I can run around the London Olympic Stadium 10,000 times and not even breaking a sweat!]

'Then, let's test this bad boy out!'

When Raiser got fully healed, he's surprised to see me in my new armor.

"Now, taste lead and lightning, mother f*ck*r!" I said, firing my 2 machineguns, while rockets and plasma bolts shot out at the same time at rapid-fire.

Raiser did his best to avoid the oncoming attacks, and every time he tried to attack me, I kept firing towards to prevent him from doing so. When he felt that the firing had ceased, he tried to attack me again, only to be met with another hard punch to the stomach from the metal fist of my armor.

Raiser took even more damage from the punch, and soon blood begins to splatter out of his mouth.

"Th-This pain…bastard, what the hell did you do?!" asked Raiser.

"Oh! You mean this?" I asked him, opening my right hand revealing a silver cross, shocking Raiser to the core!

"A cross?! You have a cross?!"

"Using all the muscles expect the one that matters. You know Rias' Bishop used to be a nun, right? She and Mary are becoming quite the crafty Devils themselves, slipping a few items into my pocket before we left for the Underworld, with one of them being this here cross," I revealed. "It must have been a first, feeling pain from an holy-empowered attack. Quite the game changer in your life, don't you agree?"

"Impossible! The cross severely damages a Devil! Even with that special dragon-demon armor, he shouldn't be able to hold- Don't tell me, you gave your entire arm to the dragon within your Sacred Gear?!"

"Mmm, sorry no, but fixing those bugs on the Sacred Gears plus the cost 10,000 years off of my lifespan as the grandson of The Great Red would be more likely," I explained while twirling the cross around.

"T-T-T-The Great Red?! The most powerful Dragon that ever lived in this universe?!" asked Raiser in disbelief.

"That's right, and he's my grandfather!" I smiled to him. "Now, I'm actually to going to give you a chance to yield right now, because if you don't, this next move will be GAME OVER! I know for a fact that your ability of regeneration is impressive, but the odds are in MY favor, Yakitori Phoenix! So, what do you say?"

When Raiser heard the word 'Yakitori Phoenix', he has now completely lost it!

Holding up his arms, a massive fireball appeared above Raiser's head that was as big as the largest ball of yarn in the world and fired towards me.

I sweatdropped as the massive fireball descended on me and exploded, the flames setting the arena on fire.

"You catching me by surprise was a good move on your part Dayo, but in the end, it's useless against a Phenex like myself!" Raiser stated smugly while panting, "In the end, you're just another piece of trash!"

"You sure about that?"

Raiser's eyes widened and looked behind him to find me sitting on one of his flaming wings, fanning myself with my hand with a bored look on my face.

"Whew, it's like a sauna."

"Why you!"

Raiser flapped his wings, trying to force me off.

"Whoo! Whoo-hoo!"

I jumped off Raiser's wing, flipping in the air until I landed on my feet, fanning a few dust off of my armor.

(Cue Battle Theme: Castle Totenkopf SDL: Who Will Win?)

"Wish you noticed me earlier," I shrugged before my eyes turned cold and bloodthirsty. "Because right now, I'm done playing around with you. You should've yielded when I gave you the chance."

Raiser then increased his power levels dramatically as flames covered his entire body.

"I will make sure that you melt yourself into Oblivion!" shouted Raiser.

"Oh yeah? Well, let's see how my Dark Bro will do with you!" I said, before changing into Dark Dayo. The armor now has black Dragon wings in the back, and the angry eyes are now white.

"At long last, we meet Fried Chicken!" I said.

"STOP IT!" said Raiser, throwing a fireball towards me, but it's quickly counter-attacked by a black fireball.

"What the-?" was all Raiser before he was engulfed in black flames, damaging his skin in seconds.

** At the Gremory Palace **

(3rd-Person POV)

The Darkwater Team finally arrived at the Palace as well as the defeated members of the Phenex Peerage when they heard the sounds of gasps and wine glasses being dropped on the floor by the patrons. They looked around to see ghost-white and terrified faces of the guests as they speedily zoomed away from the members after realizing that Dayo is part of the team.

Lord Gremory and Lord Phenex were shellshocked while the latter's son's peerage were defeated and still having scratches from their battles. Lady Phenex was automatically worried about her son's wellbeing and hope he has the sense to know that he's outmatched.

The members of the Gremory sisters' Peerages were all grinning as well, already knowing the identity of the Darkwater Team since their battle with the Stray Devils, while Rias, Lulu, and Horizon looked with joy, hope now fully rekindled within their hearts.

** Back outside the Dungeon **

(Dayo/Dark Dayo POV)

"Man, you're no different from your counterpart," said Raiser.

"Really? Then tell me if THIS isn't different!"

[[Dark Divide!]]

Raiser suddenly felt his powers cut in half.

"Wh-Wh- Did you just say 'Dark Divide'?"

"That's right, birdbrain! I actually have 'Dark Divine Dividing' on my side! It divides the power of my opponents after coming in contact with you every 5 seconds! Also, the Dark Dragon Emperor's Power is used when I'm in this state!"

Raiser gasped in disbelief again.

"And if you think I'm joking, watch again!"

[[Dark Divide!]]

Raiser's power is once again cut in half, and his flames are slowly beginning to die down.

"Just now, I've taken half of your powers twice and now, they're added to my powers. With this, plus the cross, this next punch could mean the END for you!"

[[Yes, and with these newfound powers that you gave us after that project, my brother 'The White One' will be a breeze for you!]]

'The White One?' I asked. And speaking of white, I remembered something. I took out a special white bottle.

"Yo, hothead! Look what I'm also holding right now."

"Hmph. You think that a bottle of water would extinguish the rest of my flames, huh?" Then he took a closer look. He wished he hadn't. "I-Is that Holy Water?!"

"That's right! And I cannot wait to hear the beautiful screams of your sizzling skin in the dark sky of this Underworld! Ddraig, help me out!"

[DRAGON BOOSTER SECOND LIBERATION!]

"Boosted Gear Gift!"

[TRANSFER!]

Now, I'm covered in a white aura with holy energy covering around me. With this, and some of Phenex's own power, Phenex should be thinking about defeat right about now.

With the holy water now glowing in the bottle due to the transferred energy, I took the bottle and the cross and some of Phenex's power all in my right hand fist and made complete contact to Raiser's skull, enabling in an unbelievable explosion that can be seen hundreds of miles away!

"UGAAAAAA!"

Raiser roared in pain, grabbing at his face as his flesh sizzled and burned from the enhanced holy water, the cross, and even his own power against him as the flaming wings started to die down. I then delivered a roundhouse kick and another kick to his chest to spring off him.

"Now that's what I like to hear!" I said, smirking.

** Back at the Gremory Palace **

"What's happening?" Yuuto asked. "Raiser's flame is…"

"The boosted holy water and the cross are rapidly diminishing his spirit and stamina," Akeno explained.

"Even the phoenix that rises again from the ashes can't instantly recover from mental damage," continued Yukina.

"Mental damage?" Koneko inquired.

"Yes. Like most humans on Earth, Raiser's mind is not immortal," finished Tomo.

** Back outside the Dungeon **

In desperation, Raiser tried to land a right punch on me, only for me to lazily kick his right, injuring it in the process. Undeterred, Raiser then tries to use a left jab on me, only for me to do the same to his left hand. Left with injured arms that were now barely regenerating, Raiser then attempted to charge towards me, only for me to kick him in the gut. The stabbing temporarily stunned him, but Raiser then let out a defiant roar and grappled with me, in which I easily overpowered the grapple and headbutted him in the head, stunning Raiser as I then brought out the special weapon that Raynare gave me earlier.

** Back at the Gremory Palace **

(3rd-Person POV)

Grayfia looked in shock, recognizing the new weapon in Dayo's hand. "That spear! It can't be! That is the Forbidden Holy Spear, the Spear of Destiny!"

Gasps could be heard around the hallway.

"This kid's full of surprises. Rias and Yumari sure know how to pick them," Sirzechs said. "But it is expected of those who carries the blood of all 3 factions, as well as the blood from some of the most famous Demons in the world," he added, remembering of what John did to him.

** Back outside the Dungeon **

(Dayo/Dark Dayo POV)

Blood exploded from Raiser's chest like a fountain as he slowly turned around, just in time to see me point the Spear of Destiny to him.

"You didn't realize that Dayo and I can share the same body, which means we can share our Sacred Gears as well, especially when we're in our Balance Breaker state.

"That means it's all over, Raiser Phenex. Your body is shattered, your regeneration has been stolen, and if you make the wrong decision, the Grim Reaper will welcome your misery company. Now yield, or else…" I warned in a cool tone.

"Why? Why are you doing this?! Don't you understand that this marriage is important and necessary to the future of the Devil race?! I don't care if you are the grandson of the almighty Great Red! An abomination like you who doesn't know anything shouldn't interfere- AHH!"

I just shot him in the head with a Plasma Bolt, sending 50,000 volts in him.

"I'll say this one more time," I snapped, getting fed up. "Surrender, it's over, and you know it!"

"N-Never!" Raiser shouted defiantly, trying to get up but failing, "Rias and Lulu are mine. They belong to me, as well as Horizon!"

"Tch, I really don't like to kill opponents when they're already down, yet sometimes I do for my own personal liking, but for you Raiser, since you referred to Rias, Lulu, and even Horizon as your property, like a trophy, I'll make an exception.

"Now, what I'm holding in my hand right now is the Spear of Destiny. It was originally kept by the Angel of Death, and then BJ Blazkowicz himself, and now that he has passed it over to me, I now have full control of it. This Spear is so powerful, it can actually kill a Devil of ANY type of its class instantly, as well as a Fallen Angel and an Angel! I have no effect on this because people who are this strong enough, and people who believe in themselves and their comrades in a good way, have the power to hold this spear. Since I'm the new user, I can hold this spear with ease. If anyone else tries to touch this spear for evil goals, they will be killed instantly. Plus, since I'm a 'Demon', we can hold this spear, no matter what. "

I slowly walked towards Raiser, who was now scared senseless and panicking after my explanation of what the spear can do and started to use his remaining strength to crawl away from me and the deadly spear.

"Wait! Wait!" Raiser cried, putting his hand up, "I yield! I yield to you! Please stop!"

When I registered Raiser's surrender, I was suddenly hit with a future vision for the Force that doesn't come up often; that's when I put my weapon away and walk off, Raiser would attempt to fry me with his fire, even though it wouldn't work, and only served to annoy me to the highest degree, especially since Raiser just surrendered.

"I'm hearing the fear but I'm not sensing the conviction," I commented, holding the spear and prepared myself to throw. "By the way, I just remembered that you said you were going to kill me before the start of the match. It would be an insult to a Phenex like yourself not to extend the same courtesy, don't you agree? Now, the time for talking is over, and witness your worst Nightmare coming true!"

Raiser screamed in pure terror as I threw the Spear at lightning speed, and aiming it towards his heart! Time seemed to slow down as the tip of the Spear draws closer and closer to the target at high speeds, intent on ending the Fiery Poppycock's life for good, but I managed to use magic to stop the Spear at the last second due to an unexpected intervention.

"Big Brother!"

(Battle theme fade out)

It was Raiser's sister, Ravel Phenex, the only one who wasn't defeated, thanks to Grey, in which I WILL be talking to him soon, who appeared between me and her brother, acting like a barrier with her arms stretched, but was downright scared; her frightened facial expression and shaking legs being proof of that.

That and the Spear of Destiny was a millimeter away from her face, making her brother faint.

"Please stop! Don't take my brother away from me!" she cried, her shaking extending from her legs to her whole body.

I narrowed my eyes, glaring at her. After remembering the battle between her and Grey, in which she has proven to be stronger than her brother, and knowing that they have a family as well, I sighed heavily in annoyance and put away the Spear of Destiny and got out of the Iron Death Knight Dragon Booster armor and I turned back to my regular Dark Self, with my expression softening, which is rare.

"Well, it takes true courage to stand between death and the one you care about, Ravel Phenex. Unlike your sh*tty brother, you've gained my respect," I praised the only daughter of the Phenex clan, patting her on her head. "If you're looking to avenge your brother's defeat anytime, anyplace, anywhere, I'm not too hard to find, but don't expect me to be nice to you at this state anytime soon. You got that?!"

Ravel nodded quickly as she blushed at my sudden affectionate gesture.

"Good! Now, I believe that this is my victory, so I'm sure you'll have no problem with me taking Rias, Yumari, and Horizon back, will you Raiser Phenex?"

A faint whine was heard from him.

[[Well, Noble One. Looks like this fried chicken won't be getting up anytime soon.]] said Tartarus, laughing at Raiser's state.

"As Oscar the Grouch would say, 'Good'. Sirzechs, the honors, please."

"Right! Raiser Phenex surrenders! The winner of this Rating Game is Dayo Kayode & The Darkwater Team!" said Sirzechs.

** Back at the Gremory Palace **

"The match is finally over," Grayfia noted, impressed by my performance, and even finding me even more fearful than the match we had earlier. Same goes to Sirzechs due to the fact that he knew I would've ended the fight at any time, and having the overwhelming potential to surpass him and the rest of the Four Great Satans as well.

"So it would seem," Tokiya agreed, adjusting his new glasses.

"So, I trust the wedding's off, Sirzechs?" asked Ryuuji.

"Obviously. To be honest, it pains me to see my sisters forced into a loveless marriage, but as a leader of the Four Great Satans, my hands were tied," Sirzechs explained. Ryuuji just sighed and sweatdropped.

Meanwhile, the members of the Gremory sisters' Peerage as well as Sona's Peerage all celebrated.

"He won! He won!" Tomo and Suzu cheered.

"Ara ara. Was there any doubt?" Yukina asked mockingly.

Nate smiled. "Heh. None. At. All. He has proven to all of us that he can be the opponent's worst Nightmare."

"Hence the title, 'The Nightmare of the Underworld,'" said Sona. "How interesting."

Being in 'Ghost Mode', I left the Nightmare Dungeon as my minions were ready to clean up the huge mess and reappeared inside the palace, with the guests giving me space as the Darkwater Team, the Fallen Angel servants, Rias' peerage and Lulu's peerage joined in as I was now back to normal.

"Well, all's well that ends well," I said cheerfully, making the girls sweatdrop as I turned to an approaching Rias, an approaching Lulu, and an approaching Horizon. "So, did I keep you 3 girls waiting?"

"For too long, you big idiot!" Rias and Lulu cried, both leaping forward and hugged me tight. Horizon soon followed. "We're never letting you go again!"

"Same here…" I agreed, returning the hugs. "And I have them to thank."

He gestured towards the Darkwater Team, all smiling towards me.

"And Horizon, after all these years, we're finally together again."

Horizon cried in happiness. "Dayo!" She then kissed me deeply on the lips.

Everyone 'awed' at the scene, including the Gremory sisters and their peerages.

"Right! Now, I think that it's about time that we head home," I said to the 3 girls.


(ED theme: Just Like A Star by Corinne Bailey Rae with a remix of Sonic 1: Ending Music)


Rias holds my left arm, and Lulu holds my right arm, and Horizon hugs my back, feeling her breasts on my back.

I then turned to the parents of the Gremory sisters, and the parents of the Phenex siblings.

"I'll be taking these sisters and my childhood friend home, and to the parents of Raiser Phenex! I hope that your son gets a good reeducation about how 'powerful and immortal' he is, because if he doesn't, Death's Door will be knocking. So if he comes towards me, he better watch his step!" I said to them before leaving the Palace, with the Darkwater Team, and the Fallen Angel servant following. The peerages of the Gremory sisters and Sona Sitri and her peerage waved 'Goodbye' to us as we headed home.

** Next Day; At the Mansion (FINALLY!) **

"WELCOME BACK, MASTER!"

The beautiful song of all the maids welcoming me back home. It was then I got attacked by my sisters Yant, Touko and Ayana Hizuki, with Asia and Mary following after.

Many of the maids were finally happy that I was able to return home alive and safe, along with my teammates.

"Hmm. This is interesting," said the busty nurse Rikako to Elizabeth. "He has brought 3 new girls, and they are very beautiful."

"I agree. Are they going to live with us?" asked Elizabeth.

"Looks like it," Rikako answered.

** 5 hours later; At Hanzo Academy **

The 10 Hanzo girls were abnormally silent all day. They still must've regret about the loss from the Rating Game. It was then that I came in.

I looked at Asuka, Ikuraga, Hibari, Katsuragi, and Yagyuu all tearing up.

"Now, first of all, you 5 girls have done well in the Rating Game, and I'm proud of you," I said.

"But we've lost…" said Asuka.

"And now, that dumb Phoenix freak has to marry them!" said Katsuragi.

"Not anymore," I said, giving the girls a glimmer of hope.

I smiled to them and said…

"I have beaten his sorry a$$, and now Rias and Lulu are free."

A few minutes later, the room was now filled with cheers and tears of happiness as the girls hugged each other, knowing that their weights are finally off of their shoulders.

It was then Asuka hugged me, and I could feel her tears spoiling my shirt.

"T-Thank you…Professor Dayo…" Asuka cried.

"Don't worry about it anymore," I told her. "It's all over. Now, is everyone ready for class?"

"YES!" the 10 Hanzo girls said, including Fuuma, Hijikata, Ayame, Seimei and Muramasa.

"Right! Let's go!"

Outside the classroom, Makiko Oriotorai was smiling.

** Next Day; At The Mansion **

"So, it's official. I, Rias Gremory…"

"I, Yumari 'Lulu' Gremory…"

"..and I, Horizon Ariadust…"

"…will all be living in this mansion! Please take good of us!" they all said together.

The maids all cheered and even gave them a welcoming party (and for Asia and Mary as well), and they've all managed to take their luggage into new empty rooms, next to mine by the way.

"You're strong and crazy, Master Dayo. For you to lose 10,000 years to fix the 'bugs' to those Sacred Gears even amazes Lord Azazel, in which he heard of what happened at the engagement party. It won't be surprising to see him soon," said Kalawarner.

Everyone in the room with me, including my sisters' familiars, and my familiars, learned of what I became. They seem to take the news quite well.

It was then that the head of all of the maids, Mariel came in.

"Master Dayo, the bath is ready," said Mariel, holding my towel.

"Dayo, we're coming with you," said Rias.

"After all, we're looking forward to washing your back and all other 'places'", said Lulu.

I blushed at the 'other places' part.

"...Auuuuuu. Looks like there's only hope for polygamy... But...It will be against the teachings of God...But at this rate...auuuu...", said Asia and Mary.

"Sadly, polygamy is involved…" I whispered. Unfortunately, they heard it.

"Don't be a stick in the mud Asia and Mary. Kalawarner, Mittlet and I are already falling in love with our sexy master. Even Lord Azazel has a harem of women. So it shouldn't hurt for Master Dayo", said Raynare as she, Kalawarner and Mittlet are now getting too close to me. Wait a minute, what happened to your admiration for Azazel?

"Don't you all dare, Dayo is ours! Even if Horizon is his childhood friend!" said Rias.

"Oh no you're not!"

Oh dear, those voices. No doubt in mind that it's…

"He's our Master, and we're going to serve him intensively!"

"We'll give him our affection each and every day…."

"… and give him plenty of fanservice!"

The triplets, Marron, Melon, and Lemon.

"Not if we can help it!" said Lulu.

"I refuse for this to happen!"

Oh no. That voice belongs to…

"M-M-Ms. Kakinozaka?!" asked Rias and Lulu in disbelief.

Yeah…. Ayana Kakinozaka and her mother Sakura Kakinozaka. Those teachers are my maids, too, as well as Ms. Melanie Melon, in case you haven't been paying attention.

"If someone is going to give Master a bath, it's going to be me! In fact, I have done it with him before!"

Gasps could be heard all around, and they all glanced towards me. Now I remembered about the impending doom that I thought earlier while Grayfia and I chatted, and this. Is. IT!

"Yant! Ayana!" said Touko to her sisters. "We cannot lose to our new competitors! We must kick things up a notch!"

The Hizuki sisters nodded.

The girls all glared at each other. And then I saw Kimi giggling by the door. Damn you, Kimi! I bet she must've told the others about the new residents.

Well, at least I have more company in this mansion, but I have a feeling that things are going more 'lively' here. And when I mean 'lively', I mean by More Trouble! Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear.

*** End of Season 1 ***


On the next season of The Legend of the Living Nightmare…

Dayo, his sisters, and his Darkwater Team will get a close look on how Devils do their 'work'.

Dayo will turn into Dark Dayo as he visits the Private Ladies Academy of the Serpent, not knowing that the person who killed his parents is there.

While that is going on, two people dressed in strange suits have come to Academy Island in desperate need for help.

Also, Yuuto Kiba's past with his hatred of Holy Swords, and the Himejima sisters past with their family and Fallen Angels are all revealed.

And later, Dayo will also meet the leader of the Fallen Angels, Azazel, and the leader of the Angels, Michael, as well as his new best friend/rival, Vali Lucifer!

Plus, there will be a few twists and turns when a Fallen Angel tries to get Dayo to ignite a second Great War, but after that, another nasty treat will occur, causing the leaders of the three factions to come together.

And the power of Horizon Ariadust's Divine Weapon will stun the entire world!

Confessions will be spilled, surprising events will take place, and even some of them that will leave you speechless.

All of that and more, including more characters, maids, ninjas, fanservice, sex scenes, and most of all, bad-ass action on the next season of 'The Legend of the Living Nightmare!'


WHEW! At long last, after a month of college work, the eighth chapter(and longest chapter yet) is released and the first season of this fanfic is FINALLY done! I can tell you one thing for sure. As long as I have stories up here, I will NEVER abandon my stories. Not one. Now that this chapter is finally finished, it's time for me to take a break for now, but I'll be back with another new Highschool DxD crossover, and this one is a biggie! I'll let you ponder on that, but in the meantime, here's our final Quickie Quiz for Season 1.

1. As I said, from the beginning of this chapter, list the 4 classic MS-DOS games I've used here for reference.

2. What movie series is Chucky from?

3. Name the 'Winnie the Pooh' character who always says 'Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear.'

4. Who's the famous wrestler with the phrase 'Hell, Yeah!'?

The first one is worth 25 virtual cookies each, for a total of 100, the second and third ones are for 5 cookies, and the last one is for 10 cookies.

And the battle between Dayo and Grayfia, I had to be very creative, because none of us has seen Grayfia in battle yet, between light novel, manga, and anime. Even though she is Sirzechs' wife, she's also a maid in Dayo's mansion, because she is Mariel's best friend.

Also, I'll be working on the new season of Magical Devils and this story, so be sure to be on the lookout for that, and until I see you next time, read and review, and no flames!
