Slayer: Now aren't you guys lucky? We completed this chapter a little ahead of schedule! Truthfully I thought I'd take longer on this one. By the way… (Punches Judan) that's for taking away my thunder!

Judan: (Punches Slayer) Not my fault I somehow made my last chapter similar to yours! Plus the only reason this is out now is because you didn't lose your stupid files for this story!

Christopher: (Points pistol at Judan) Now, now… let's not get angry here.

Kiba: Yes we must keep things youthful after all!

Christopher: Kiba…

Kiba: Yes?

Christopher: Shut up or I'll kill you. I'm not about to let you corrupt my little girl.

Fuyo: Whys ares yous threatheneng, therathing, threnig… um…

Christopher: Threatening?

Fuyo: Yeah!~ Whys are you thre… that word Kiba?

Christopher: I'll tell you a little later sweetie.

Fuyo: Muuu…. Fine Daddy.

Shadow: Ah… isn't she just adorable?~

Modaga: Aye! She most definitely is a most you…(Sees Christopher's glare) Ahem… Most cutest thing ever?

Christopher: (Nods head)

Shadow: Okay… anyways enough about that let's go do some reviews. First up is our good friend RedBurningDragon. Whose name we finally managed to not get underlined in red each time we type it.

Slayer: (Still pointing pistol at Judan) Don't know why we had so much trouble with it to be honest.

Shadow: I know! Anyway to answer the main part of your Review we went in and fixed up the whole chapter. Anyone can go back and take a look if they want. And we do apologize for the terrible writing for that one.

Slayer: Yeah sorry I was extremely tired and missed quite a few things… and messed up quite a few things in general. But at least it wasn't as bad as the whole moon incident in TOTDG two. Plus there's always just hindsight after going back and re-reading like I usually do.

Shadow: Oh hindsight… I wish we didn't need you and could just use foresight… Anyway moving on we hope Kiba's (Looks at Christopher) Antics won't give you to many nightmares. Also yes! We do agree that compared to everyone else poor Koneko doesn't get all that much attention in canon. So here we are making her the main heroine. Plus there's just something intriguing about slowly making her more… neko-ish… I guess the word would be.

Slayer: Yeah writing from her perspective is actually rather enjoyable for some reason… and I'm a guy! Anyways that's all for the reviews, still thank you everyone who's given this story a read. It makes me want to keep doing it… instead of the other six stories we have going. Although I think while Judan works on the next chapter for his story I'll come out with another How To chapter. Which once it's done we'll do something else to torture the main character. Poor, poor Hermit…

Judan: (Cowering behind rock) Why would you do that?

Slayer: To have something to work on and mix it up. Also Hermit is mostly Lawful evil. Why do you ask?

Shadow: Because Modaga was already corrupted by that story! Even worse than he already was!

Fuyo: Corrupted? What do theys means daddy?

Christopher: Later Fuyo… later…

Slayer: Uh… well who wants to do the disclaimer again? How about you Kiba? You've never done it. At least as far as I can remember…

Kiba: Alright ahem… now we here at the Dark Guard productions own nothing but OC's and reality building concepts. Everything else belongs to their respective owners. Now without further ado…

Everyone: Here's the story!

Slayer: Oh yeah one last thing… (Fires pistol)

Judan: Argh!

Slayer: That's better…

Chapter Ten: The continuation of a Cheat

The Black Dragon (Day of the game)

Well isn't this a cozy atmosphere… Looking around me from my spot on the couch I sighed. I was in the clubroom and I could see that everyone was rather high-strung.

"What's with all of this doom and gloom?! Come on guys we worked your buts and faces into the ground! Have a little bit more faith will ya!" Well everyone but Keno that is, but she was also a slight battle maniac. But I at least can understand that a bit, but I only like tough opponents. To be honest I've been rather disappointed lately with my most recent battles. Dohnaseek was nothing but talk, as for Sera… well she didn't exactly stay for too long. I would've sparred with either Ulysses or Juda these following weeks, but again we were quite busy.

Shaking my head I turned to Shirone who was on my right. She was messing with her pair of black fingerless combat gloves. She was also wearing a new set of clothes; it was actually one of the outfit she asked me to buy for her yesterday. In a way it was similar to the school's uniform, except the half coat wasn't as tight. It was also a darker shade of black and the twin tails were longer reaching down to her knees. It was also outlined in a light blue. She was also wearing a black skirt that was mid-thigh. Along with that she was wearing black tights and black high-heeled short boots.

Besides that she wore her school shirt, and had some kind of utility belt around her waist. It had about five different squared shaped pouches. She didn't exactly tell me what she had in them, saying that they were a surprise. Although she looked at Juda when she said that. Then finally she had on the necklace I gave her and her cat clips.

As she was fidgeting she leaned against me while her cat ears and tails twitched about in nervousness. The only thing I could do now at this time was, gently pet her head and scratch her ears. It only worked slightly much to my own dismay. Shaking my head I decided to see how everyone else was doing.

Looking around I saw that everyone else was also rather nervous. During my observation I also decided to take a look at what everyone else was wearing. Asia was in her old nun clothes, Kiba in his school uniform along with Rias and Issei, Akeno was in some kind of miko outfit for some reason, and then Keno was back in her usual purple outfit. I had asked everyone to wear more protective clothing, but it seems as if only Shirone really listened to me on that. Mostly because she gave me a sad kitty face, while she begged for me to enchant her clothes.

As you may have guessed… I easily and quickly caved.

[I would have done the same.] Shaking my head I turned to my mate to see if I could help her.

"You know I thought I told you not to worry about this. I know that all of you will win, plus if things get to dicey Keno can easily pull out a win for you." Sighing she shook her head before speaking softly.

"I know… but it's not just that I'm worried about."

"Hmm?"

"I mean I'm also worried about Fuyo… we only had her for what? Thirty six hours now right? I just feel kind of bad leaving her with Mom like that. I mean we should be the ones looking out for her!" All of the sudden her nervous demeanor changed as she became a little angry. "There's still so many things I need to teach her, and I think spending time with her right now is important! If it wasn't for Riser we could've just spent the day with her! Oh when I get my hands on him!" I couldn't help but stare at Shirone as she began ranting.

You know for some reason I'm starting to actually fear for Riser's life.

[I agree with thy assessment. Our mate certainly has a beautiful motherly instinct. Although ripping out Riser's spine and shoving it up his… um… thou know what, might be unwarranted.]

I can't help but agree with you there. Still remember what happened yesterday? To be honest I'm surprised Akeno can still fight!

Flashback Gear Activate!

Sitting down I looked around nervously as everyone stared at us. At least Kiba, Rias, and Akeno which was rather awkward… their stares were directed to Fuyo who was sitting on my lap. Completely oblivious to their looks as she sat happily, also my "wife" wasn't exactly helping the situation either. No instead she was focusing entirely on our new daughter. Tickling her, telling her stories, and many other motherly things. Now don't get me wrong, it made definitely would put a smile on my face… in other conditions… But right now I could only imagine what was going through the others heads.

Luckily I didn't have to wonder for long as Rias spoke. "So… may I ask where you found um…"

"Fuyo."

"Yes Fuyo, thanks Hyoudou San. Now where did you find her? I mean we you were only gone for twenty hours, how did you have time to adopt this little girl?" Looking down at Shirone who was preoccupied, I saw her quickly look into my eyes before turning back to Fuyo. It was then that I quickly understood what she was trying to do.

[Again our mate thinks ahead.] Agreeing with Fernus I turned to the others as I explained what happened to our new daughter. At the end I looked around and saw that everyone looked extremely angry. Especially Akeno for some reason, really I could see some lightning coming off of her. Looking down I saw that thanks to Shirone, Fuyo was too distracted to listen in on the conversation. I smiled at this because it meant she didn't have to once again relive bad memories.

"This is extremely un-youthful!" Hearing that, everyone quickly turned to Kiba with looks of confusion. Seeing everyone staring at him he coughed into his hand before speaking again. "I mean how terrible! How could anyone do that to their own daughter?! Especially someone as cute and adorable as Fuyo Chan here!" We stared at him for a bit longer before Rias started speaking.

"Right… I have to agree with you on the last part. Really as someone who puts family first, I find that this is one of the worst crimes I've ever heard of! And since I've had to study much of our history being an heiress and all, that is saying quite a bit!" She then took her eyes off Fuyo and directed her attention to me. "So… what are you going to do, if you meet the ones responsible?" Looking around I saw that everyone was now staring at me.

So with a sigh I answered her. "The blonde haired Nekomata I will personally kill. I don't say this lightly, but I know that she's probably the whole source of this problem. As for Fuyo's original father… I'll reason with him if I can, you know to try and find out why he did it. But if his answers aren't satisfactory, then I'll get rid of him as well… permanently." After that everyone nodded their heads solemnly, and the tension in the air receded. It was then that everyone began to ask Fuyo questions about herself, and also tried to get her to laugh.

Although Shirone froze at Akeno's next words. "You know at first I thought Fuyo was actually your biological daughter. But now I think I was just surprised. After all it hasn't nearly been long enough since Hyoudou San had sex with you, and popped your cherry Koneko Chan.~" I had to admit… I also got angry at the queen for saying those things in front of a three year old. Especially my three year old!

But the feeling of malice next to me, quickly made me want to jump into a hole. Looking towards my mate, I saw her get up with an innocent smile and walk over to Akeno.

"Akeno…" Looking down at her she started questioning her.

"Yes what?!" That was as far as she got since Shirone slammed her fist into her stomach, and sent her through a wall. Everyone sat in their seats wide eyed while the person nearest to her. As in Issei gulped and slowly backed away. However the next words out of Fuyo's mouth, made Shirone's outburst… seem like a fire cracker in comparison to what happened next.

"Mommy, why dids you hith Akenos likes thath? Isth its because of whaths she saids? Also whaths secs and cheery mean?" Everyone could only look at Fuyo for a split second before turning to Shirone. Her ears and tails now out as they waved menacingly in the air. Turning back to Fuyo she spoke in a sweet motherly voice.

"Don't worry about that sweetie; Akeno was just being extremely rude. I'll go down and make sure she minds her manners now."

Fuyo only nodded her head in acceptance. "Okay mommy!" Shirone then jumped through the hole created by Akeno's body. It was then over the cries of pain, that we learned to always watch what we say around Fuyo.

[Christopher… I thinkest we need to warn Ulysses… Because I know that Shirone will be harsher on our brother.]

I'll say… In fact I think we just need to warn everyone in general! I wasn't even this bad when I was taking care of Milly!

Flashback Gear Deactivate!

Shaking my head from the memory I turned to Akeno, who was walking completely fine. Although she did give the occasional nervous glance, towards my white haired mate.

I guess either Asia or Juda healed her up. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the clubroom door opening. Looking over I saw Grayfia walking in.

"Can all non-participants please follow me, the rating game will be starting soon." Standing up I kissed Shirone's forehead one last time before making my way out. Thanking me Grayfia stayed to talk with them for a bit before exiting and closing the door. She then placed a hand on my shoulder before teleporting us to a new location. I also had to admit that it was rather interesting. It was almost exactly like an arena, except inside the fighting area was an exact replica of the academy. There were also some magical screens showing different parts of the field. The screens were also switching to different pictures every so often.

"Hey there bro!~" Groaning I turned to Ulysses.

"I see that they invited you for some reason." He pouted before giving his retort.

"Of course I was invited! I helped with their training as well didn't I? Besides Ophis also wanted to watch and who am I to deny her? Or… anyone for that matter…" Shaking my head I looked around for said dragon god, before seeing her a little ways down. Making my way over there I spotted a few people near her. One was Juda, who was talking to some black haired girl in some magical girl outfit. For some reason she reminded me of Sona. Milly was also there talking to Ophis, she was wearing her regular dress.

There was also a man with long red hair whom I had to assume was Sirzechs. Rias' older brother, next to him were two others. One was a middle aged man with long red hair that was kept in a ponytail. He also had a short red beard and blue eyes. His clothes consisted of a white dress shirt with a frilly collar, and black slack and shoes. Next to him was a fairly young looking woman with medium length brown hair and purple eyes. She was also wearing a brown and red Victorian like dress with white tights and brown dress shoes. For a second I would've said that she was Rias' older sister.

Seeing me approach Sirzechs waved me over. "So you're Ulysses younger brother. I must admit you two really don't look anything a like."

Chuckling I replied politely. "We do get that a lot, but I must say you look a lot like Rias Sirzechs."

"Already figured it out did you? You're definitely smarter than your brother. Now let me introduce you to the others here." First pointing to the girl in the magical outfit he spoke. "This here is Serafall Leviathan, you would know her as the Maou in charge of foreign affairs, and as Sona's sister." Upon being introduced she did a twirl before striking some odd pose and speaking.

"It's a pleasure to meet you!~" I stared for a bit before speaking.

"Yes it's nice to meet you as well."

[How canst that be Sona's relative?!] Mentally shrugging I turned back to the red haired man who was being introduced next.

"And this is my father, Zeoticus Gremory." Approaching who I now knew for sure was their father I shook his hand while he smiled politely at me.

"It's nice to meet you. Your brother has told us good things about you, while also complaining about your supposed aggressive actions towards him."

I couldn't help but groan at that. "Yeah well Ulysses has always been a man-child I'll tell you that. Speaking of which where is he?" Turning around I couldn't help but slap my forehead when I spotted him. He was still back to where I was teleported in, flirting with Grayfia. Sirzechs seeing this growled before turning to me.

"If you'll excuse me I'll be right back.~" He then ran off towards them before I turned to the last person in the little group.

"And you are miss?" Giggling she answered me.

"I'm Venelana, Rias' and Sirzechs' mother. It's nice to see the one who helped out my daughter so much. Especially considering this whole situation could've been avoided in the first place…" She then turned to glare at her husband who nervously cleared his throat before speaking.

"How about we all sit down and begin watching. I'm sure it'll begin soon enough." I couldn't help but roll my eyes along with the other two women at his words. Still I sat down next to Ophis who was eating some popcorn. Where she got it I'll never know, but when she got up and sat on my lap. She was soon followed by Milly as Ophis offered me some popcorn.

"Do you want any Uncle Chris?" Smiling lightly I rubbed her head before replying.

"Sure, thank you very much Ophis Chan." I then took some and quickly tossed them into my mouth. All the while ignoring the staring from the others, because really… based on what I've learned about Ophis I really couldn't blame them.

The black dragon the white cat

The White Cat

Taking a deep breath I looked outside to see a replica of the school. Really the only difference was tha the sky was red. Shaking my head, I still felt nervous despite Christopher's best attempts to calm me down. I mean I know he said to rely on the others, but I didn't want to become dead weight. I mean Issei with enough time could easily boost himself to be even stronger than the rest of us. Asia was now amazing with shields and barriers, and Keno… well she was still the strongest one of us here.

Before I could continue my thoughts I heard Rias start speaking. "Alright everyone this is it!" Everyone quickly turned their attention to her as she continued speaking. "Now we've trained hard for this day, and I know if we do this carefully we'll win for sure. But first I'd like Akeno to pass out the magic communicators. That way I'll be able to monitor everyone's positions." Walking around to each of us Akeno handed us what looked like small glowing balls. Quickly I put it into my right cat ear after letting out my Yokai features.

Seeing this Rias smiled at me before continuing. "Now then first off we need to fortify our defenses. With Riser having eight pawns, things could get hectic if they all promote to a queen. So Kiba I'll leave that to you. Now I'll need Koneko and Issei to go to the gym. That area is a large center piece and a middle ground which we'll need to deal with quickly. It is a strategic position, which is why after you deal with the pieces Riser no doubt sent there. We'll have Akeno destroy it. Now as Christopher had said yesterday when we actually began planning…"

Rias turned to glare at Akeno for a second before turning back to the rest of us. "Riser's queen will most likely be stationed there for a counter attack. I would like for Keno san to be there to take her out. Seeing how Akeno would still be recovering from her spell. Next would be for all three of you to meet up with Kiba to take out Riser's remaining pieces. Then we'll all meet up back here and wait for Riser to come to us. That way we can all recuperate before the final battle. Is there any questions?" We all shook our heads. "Good! Now Kiba please move out now, we'll want as much time as possible for setting up those traps."

He nodded his head before leaving to begin his part. As for the rest of us we waited for Riser to start moving his pieces. Now while that might give them the element of surprise, we still had a little trick of our own. My mates seal was still active, which meant Riser hadn't noticed that his strongest ability wasn't useable yet. So sitting on the couch I felt someone sit down next to me. Looking over I was surprised to see Issei.

But before I could ask him anything he spoke. "You know… I don't think you have anything to be nervous about." I blinked at him in surprise before he elaborated. "I saw you earlier with Chris, it was easy to tell you're worried. But I don't think you have to be, we'll win this easily enough and then you can go back and tell an embellished tail to Fuyo." I couldn't help but giggle at this. Because despite his perverse nature, he still knew what buttons to hit. Because what he said was true, plus I also think that Fuyo would like a story to listen to when we got back.

Smiling at my reaction he continued speaking. "Yeah I thought you'd like that. But you know… I don't think we've actually ever really talked. I mean you're technically my sister now and we've pretty much left each other alone." Thinking back on it I had to actually agree with Issei. "So how about we all get together as a family once this is all over. Me, you, Chris, Milly, and Fuyo I think that'd be rather nice."

Thinking on his words I nodded my head gratefully. "You know I think I'll actually like that."

Our conversation was interrupted by Kiba over the com. "Well everyone I think I've set up enough traps here. Now I'll stay here and take out anyone who isn't done in by the traps." Rias smiled before replying.

"Thanks and good work Kiba." She then turned to the rest of us. "Now with that done the rest of you better start moving."

"""Hai!""" We then quickly filed out of the clubroom and headed over to the gym. Once there Keno and Akeno went into hiding. As for me and Issei we stood outside the door.

That's when Issei grinned evilly. "You know… I think we need to announce our presence. What do you think?" Smirking I went up to the gym doors. I then knocked on it twice, before using my new strength to kick the door off its hinges. What came over the speakers surprised me however.

"Riser's pawn Mira has been retired." It was Grayfia who was doing the announcements, still I seriously didn't think the door would hit anyone like that. Inside I started to hear some panicked shouting.

"Mira no! They'll pay for this!" Clearing my throat I decided to just get this over with and so walked inside the gym. Once inside I saw three others in there, one was a well-endowed young woman with shoulder-length black hair and blue-green eyes. Her hair has was styled into two Chinese buns on both sides of her head, while the front features bangs that form a slight V-shape across her forehead. Her outfit consists of a navy blue qipao with gold accents, a white sash around her stomach, and black, low-heeled shoes. The qipao is open at the chest area.

The other two were twins, with turquoise hair. They kept them tied on one side of their head with a yellow ribbon opposite to their sister. They both had blue eyes. Both of their outfits consist of gym uniforms, which consist of white t-shirts with blue accents, black leggings, and blue sneakers over knee-high socks, they also wore orange wristbands on their right wrists. Both of their chainsaws are colored blue. Although one had a red carrying case, and the other had a blue one.

Seeing walk in the Chinese girl yelled at us. "You! How dare you use such an underhanded trick to pick one of us off!" The twins also voiced their agreements. Scratching his head Issei tried to calm them down.

"Um… That was a complete accident; we didn't mean to hit your friend with that door." Apparently the twins didn't believe him, as they charged at Issei with their chainsaws. However believing that he'd survive I turned back to the girl who first yelled at us.

"So I guess it's you and me, I'm Rias' rook Koneko." I then stepped into my new fighting stance. This had my arms out in front of me with my hands facing away from my body. My feet were also apart with my left foot forward.

Seeing the stance the girl smirked. "Isn't that piguaquan? Hmph, I didn't expect to see a martial arts style from home in this fight. This just might be interesting. Now then I'm Xuelan Riser Sama's rook. I'll also be taking you down!" She then charged at me while I prepared to fight her head on. Blocking her right handed punch I went in with a palm thrust. Smirking she tried to block it, however she didn't expect my strength and was pushed back a bit. Holding onto her left forearm she grimaced in pain before speaking to me again.

"What was that?! I've never felt someone hit so hard!" I could only smirk as I thought back to my training. You see by the end of it the weights I had on my were over one ton. Sure before I could carry around five hundred pounds, but now I'm much faster and stronger than before. So I could only giggle when I reached into my front pouch and pulled out a green crystal. Clenching it I then held it out as a strong gust of wind shot out from it. Xuelan's eyes widened as the wind slammed into her, forcing her to hit the back wall of the gym.

A second later Grayfia spoke as my opponents body disappeared into blue particles. "Riser's rook Xuelan has been retired." I smiled while looking down to my hands, clenching and unclenching them I finally realized what Christopher was trying to tell me.

I guess I really do have the strength to help my friends now. After putting the crystal away, I looked back over to Issei, I watched as he dodged the twins with ease as he spoke.

"You know I must really thank my brother after this. Having to dodge and attack him in his dragon form has really paid off. Speaking of which…" Moving quickly I saw him bring his knee into contact with the twin holding the red case. She didn't even see it coming and fell onto her back as she held her jaw. She was in pain but not injured enough to be retired.

Seeing this her sister called out to her. "Nel! You'll pay for that!" She then started attacking Issei even faster; however in anger her moves became sloppier. Taking advantage of this Issei sidestepped to the right after she swung at him and kneed her stomach. Doubling over she growled at him. "I am Ile Riser's pawn a devil who has much more experience than you. So how can a human be so strong as to beat me?! Did Rias recruit you over the last few weeks?"

Chuckling Issei answered her. "Nope still a human being, only one who's being trained to overcome their natural limitations." She continued to glare at him when we heard Rias over the com.

"Good work you two! Now get out of there as Akeno's about to blow the building!" Quickly taking in her words we ran out the way we came. Much to Ile's surprise as she started yelling at us and calling us cowards. I will say that it didn't last long, as the entire building exploded thanks to a lightning bolt. Above us was our queen who was laughing at the crater she made.

"Riser's pawns Ile, and Nel have been retired." At that announcement me and Issei couldn't help but high-five at our accomplishment. That was when Grayfia spoke again. "Four of Riser's pawns retired."

I guess that means Kiba's traps actually worked. Still Riser has half his peerage left. We were doing good but there were still half of our opponents left. Also those last pawns might be a problem if they promote. At the moment Riser still had a queen, rook, two knights, and two bishops, not to mention himself if he actually attacked.

My thoughts were interrupted by Rias. "Good work, now go and meet up with Kiba. I'm sure between the four of you the rest of Riser's peerage will be easy pickings." After giving positive responses the three of us started to move towards our knight's location. However before I got to far a light encompassed me, followed by the others yelling out to me in worry. So you could understand why I was confused when the light died down. Blinking I looked around me to see that the area around me was now a small crater. Except for the spot I was standing on.

Looking over I saw Issei staring at me in disbelief, followed by someone yelling from above. "How did I miss?! She was right there!" Looking up I saw who I could only guess was Riser's queen. More than likely she was Yubelluna Riser's queen. Now Yubelluna much to my chargen is a busty girl with long, wavy purple hair that fell all the way down her back and matching eyes. At the front, the right side of her hair falls over her breast and covers her right eye, while the left side falls near the top of her skirt. Her attire consisted of a navy blue tunic top with gold accents and a pale blue skirt with open sides.

She also had black shoes over matching thigh-high stockings with garterbelts. The top revealed much of her cleavage, and was held with a gold choker with blue and red jewels. Over this, she wore a white overcoat with black and gold accents and matching pauldrons. She also had on a black headband with a red-orange jewel over her forehead to keep her long hair in place. Then finally in her right hand was a staff-like scepter. She was also wearing purple lipstick.

Was is it that almost every female I meet is bigger than me? Even Nel and Ile were bigger than me! It was then that I realized what actually happened. Yubelluna, also known as the bomb queen must've tried to hit me with a spell. But for some reason it didn't affect me at all. But what could have happened? Thinking for a bit I quickly came to a realization and I couldn't help but voice it.

"My necklace!" Looking down at the gift my mate gave me I held it in my right hand. I also couldn't help but chuckle, as I thought back to the "little" protection charm he said he put on it.

Little huh? The enchantment stood up to a high-class devil's spell without taking a scratch.

The black dragon the white cat

The Black Dragon

I couldn't help but sigh in relief as the protection charm worked. I knew that it could handle weak attacks from a dragon god, but I didn't know about anything else.

I guess this goes to show just how much of a power difference is between us. Still the ones next to me were quite flabbergasted at what happened, if Sirzechs comments were anything to go by.

"Did Riser's queen miss or something? Because that was just strange." I couldn't help but laugh making everyone turn to me. "What's so funny Black Dragon Sama?" Shaking my head I answered him.

"First off Christopher is just fine, no Sama is needed here. Secondly I guess you could thank me for your confusion, you see a while ago I gave that necklace to Koneko as a gift. I had put not only a color changing charm on it, but also a shield charm. Really I didn't think it would be this strong at the time though. But then again I'm only familiar with the strength of a Dragon god. So it might seem powerful to you, but to me it was only a little bit of extra protection."

Sirzechs nodded his head in understanding while his mother began questioning me. "I can easily understand the differences in our strengths. But… what I want to know is why you gave little Koneko Chan the necklace in the first place." Unfortunately before I could answer a slightly burnt Ulysses spoke up.

"That's easy, you see my little bro here has claimed Koneko as his mate. I must say it's nice to see my little brother growing up so nicely." He nodded his head sagely while my eyes began twitching. I then struck out with my left hand and decked him in the face. "Argh! Why is it always the face with you?!" Ignoring the looks I was now getting from everyone I turned back to watch the match. All the while Ophis and Milly started laughing at his pain.

I think I'm a bad influence or something…

The black dragon the white cat

The Red emperor

I could only stare at Koneko as she explained the necklace my brother gave her. It was then that I knew the necklace Milly got must have the same properties. It made sense, especially since I know just how protective he is over his loved ones.

{More than likely he'll get one for your niece Fuyo as well partner.} Agreeing with Ddraig I felt a hand on my shoulder, turning around I saw a maliciously smiling Keno.

"Well it's nice to know that everyone's alright, but I think it's time for the lot of you to get out of here. After all I wouldn't want you caught up in the crossfire." Chuckling nervously I turned back to Koneko who was being fussed over by Akeno.

Quickly I called out to them. "Hey I think we need to get a move on, Keno's about to go at it here." Both turned to us and nodded their heads. Then with me in the lead we all took off towards Kiba's position near the outside courts. Yubelluna seeing this yelled out to us.

"Oh no you don't!" However before she could fire off another spell Keno through a sword at her. Growling down to the purple girl she yelled at her. "Fine I guess I'll deal with you first!" Keno only smirked before taunting her.

"So but I'm not about to lose to a groupie such as yourself." She then conjured up some basic katana's before throwing them at her opponent. Seeing how things were going we continued on our way. Eventually we met up with Kiba who was watching the rest of Riser's peerage. Hearing us he turned to with a smile.

"Glad you all could make it, I assume Keno san is taking care of Yubelluna?" Akeno nodded her head before answering.

"Yeah, but I don't think her opponent will last long. Keno is pretty strong, at least twice as strong as Rias." Nodding his head he turned and pointed at our new targets.

"So what should we do about them? A little while ago the yelled out that they knew I was here, and challenged me to a fight. However I decided to stay back and now they're getting rather angry." Looking over I couldn't help but nod my head at his assessment.

Then having an idea I turned to Akeno." Hey have you recovered your energy yet?" Looking over to me she did a half nod before speaking.

"Almost but it should be enough for this battle. I really have to thank your brother later, if it wasn't for his training I wouldn't be able to recover as quickly. Still what do you have in mind?" Giving an evil smile I explained my idea to everyone. When I was done Akeno chuckled evilly. "Fu, fu, fu… I think your brothers way of fighting has rubbed off on you Issei Kun.~" Still smiling I summoned my sacred gear before speaking to Ddraig.

"You ready for this?"

{I was born ready for anything partner, so let's get this show on the road! Boost!} As soon as the first boost sounded out me, Koneko, and Kiba ran out in a full on charge. Akeno on the other hand started walking around the perimeter. Still our charge caught our opponents off guard as we engaged our enemy. Kiba being the fastest struck first, his target… a girl wearing a kimono who was quickly taken out with our surprise attack.

With that Grayfia's voice was heard. "Riser's bishop Mihae has been retired." That was when a young woman with brown hair, green eyes and dresses in an armor holding a sword and dagger attacked him.

"You'll pay for what you did to Mihae!" Holding up the sword he used against Keno Kiba began to easily kite around her. As for Koneko she attacked a woman with short, light brown hair and grey eyes. Her hair also had red highlights. She was also wearing a plain white mask which covered the right side of her face. She also wore a black jacket and matching jeans. The jacket had wide shoulders and a wide collar, and features three leather straps on both her arms.

Also to my delight it is was slightly open, revealing her rather-large breasts and cleavage, and it is cut off at her midriff. Her right pant leg was also cut off, revealing some of her thighs and butt, and also featured three leather straps on her calves, just below the ankles, and two extra straps on her right pant leg to keep it in place. She also had on black fighting gloves and boots. Judging by her appearance I'd say she was the last rook.

That was also when Akeno came out and launched a lightning bolt at girl holding what looked like a claymore. "Riser's knight Siris has been retired." At this I couldn't help but give a thumbs up towards Akeno. I then turned towards the last one not currently fighting.

She was a cute girl with dark blue eyes, she also had long blonde hair tied into twin tails with large, drill-like curls and blue ribbons keeping them in place. The front of her hair has several bangs hanging over her forehead, with a V-shaped fringe hanging over the bridge of her nose. Her outfit consisted of a light purple dress with dark purple accents and a blue bow at the front. At the back, three feather-like extensions mimicking a bird's tail protrude from the dress. Just looking at her I could tell she was related to Riser somehow.

Looking back at me nervously she spoke. "Now look here, I'm not really here to fight. Only to think and come up with plans, you don't have to worry about me attacking anyone." At her words I could only bring up an eyebrow while questioning her.

"Isn't that the whole point to this rating game though? To fight and decide if mister chicken will marry Rias?" She seemed to fume at my nickname for Riser.

"Don't insult my brother like that! You should know when to not insult someone above your station human!" I could only stare at her while Ddraig's voice rang out from my sacred gear.

{A bit of a spoiled brat isn't she… Boost! Well partner there's twenty boosts. I'll let you know when we're at our maximum.} Thanking Ddraig I looked back over to the girl who was now looking at me wide eyed.

"Is that the booster gear?!" I couldn't help but chuckle before showing her.

"Yep, a fully functioning mid-tier Longinus. And I can't wait to unleash all the power I've stored up on you brother. Speaking of which why is his younger sister in his peerage?" She crossed her arms before answering me.

"Don't get it wrong, my brother doesn't do anything to me. He only wanted me in his "harem" as a show piece. Basically to complete the set with a younger sister figure. But really we don't do anything, still as to you unleashing your sacred on my brother… I doubt even with that you'd…" She was cut off as Grayfia spoke out again.

"Riser's Rook Isabela, and Riser's knight Karlamine have been retired." Looking around her Riser's sister began to laugh nervously as everyone surrounded her.

"Now let's not be hasty here… as I said I'm not really here to fight. So you can just ignore me and be on your way." Koneko cracked her knuckles before stepping forward.

"Sorry but as a cat I can't let little birds just walk away before playing with them." That comment seemed to anger the blonde haired girl quite a bit.

"First off my name's Ravel, not little bird. Secondly cats should just stay on the ground and watch the birds fly over them! While they peck their eyes out!"At this point the two began arguing using bird and cat analogies. Easily making the rest of us look at them in confusion, though eventually Grayfia's voice spoke up again stopping them.

"Riser's queen Yubelluna has been retired. Only Riser's bishop Ravel and Riser himself remain." That got Ravel to pale before backing up slowly.

Seeing this I could only sigh before speaking. "Let's just go alright. If she promises to not interfere in our fight against Riser we can leave her alone." Everyone looked at me surprised, although Ravel also had some relief in her expression.

However seeing from my point of view Kiba sighed before speaking. "He has a point, so I suggest we listen to his youth… I mean considerate idea." Again we couldn't help but stare at him while he began to quickly walk away.

What is with him lately? Shaking my head I was about to follow when Rias spoke over the com.

"Good work everyone! Now there's been a change of plans. Because of how quickly we've done this I think we should just head straight for Riser! Now let's go take him out and end this!" Cheering we started making our way towards the main school building, where Riser had situated himself. However I stopped when Ravel started speaking.

"Don't think you'll win so easily against my brother. He's still practically immortal." I couldn't help but chuckle at that.

"Don't worry your pretty little head, we have a way around his immortality. So just sit back and watch the fireworks." She bristled at my comment while blushing. She then turned around and huffed before speaking one last time.

"Well don't blame me if he burns you all to a crisp." Shaking my head I turned to leave, and was long gone before I could hear what she said next.

"Does he really think I'm pretty?"

The black dragon the white cat

The White Cat

Taking deep breaths I looked forward as we approached Riser's location. Already we had met up with Keno, Asia, and Rias. Also like I expected Keno was only lightly disheveled. Really I couldn't help but ask how her fight against the bomb queen was.

Giggling she answered me with a smile. "It was actually rather fun to be honest. She may not have been too powerful, but with her flying, and then taking something called phoenix tears it was a tricky fight. Still she only managed to hit me once, and that was because she surprised me by quickly recovering because of the tears." I nodded my head before turning to Rias.

"Do you think Riser has any more of those on his person Buchou?" Humming she shook her head.

"I doubt it. You see he's only allowed to have two vials of them per game. So more than likely he gave them to his sister and queen. Anyway we're almost there, anyone who can't fly hitch a ride with those who can. Issei Kun you're with me." Then before he could reply, she grabbed him and revealed her wings before jumping into the air. Akeno and Asia, actually looked a bit peeved at this but didn't say anything.

I turned to Keno thinking she needed a ride, only to see she wasn't next to me anymore. Looking around I turned back to the building to see her climbing up the side of the wall. Shaking my head I instead grabbed Asia before meeting everyone else on top of the roof. There sitting like some kind of evil mastermind was Riser. However his fold out chair kind of ruined the whole image.

Clapping his hands he "congratulated" us. "Well done for making it this far, and without losing a single member of your group either. A surprise, considering three of them are humans." He then turned directly to me with narrowed eyes. "As for you… don't think I forgot about the humiliation I suffered at your boyfriends hands! I was the laughing stock within my social circle for weeks! I'll make sure to give you special treatment when I've finished with everyone else." I narrowed my eyes at him before taking up a fighting stance. This was quickly followed by everyone else. Seeing this he got up while laughing.

"Hahaha! So you're still going to fight me? You know your defeat is inevitable, after all I am immortal!"

Rias instead of getting angry only smirked. "Oh really? Is that so? So it won't matter if I do this!" With her piece said she launched what looked like a spear of destruction at Riser. His eyes widened in surprise but didn't move or do anything to negate it. A big mistake on his part, as the spell hit we could hear his screaming as he yelled at us.

"ARGHH! What?! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!" When the smoke cleared we could see that Riser was missing his entire right arm. But more importantly… it wasn't regenerating.

Seeing this Rias smiled while giving the lie we had planned for this. "Oh? It seems like the little spell I got from Christopher San had worked. You Riser might know him as the black dragon. You know the one who "humiliated" you." His eyes widened further before questioning her.

"What has that dragon done now? What had he given you?!"

Rias calmly answered him. "That's rather simple. You see before getting into the game he gave a little talisman to use against you. It was a onetime thing and dissolved into my spell just now. You see it negates all of your healing. And you just stood there and took the spell head on. So really with only one arm you're at quite the disadvantage. I'd suggest giving up now." Grounding his teeth together Riser was about to scream out in defiance when Keno appeared behind him.

She was holding a sword to his neck with a smile. "Now, now let's not get hasty. You wouldn't want to lost your head right?" He was shaking with rage and pain as he tried to figure out how to get out of this mess. However I knew there wasn't really anything that he could do.

"Onii Sama!" Looking over we saw Ravel flying towards us with a pair of wings made out of fire. In her right hand was a vial filled with clear liquid. "Here take this!" She then tossed the vial to Riser who caught it with is left hand. He then ducked before Keno could take off his head and kicked her in the stomach. The sprouting a larger set of fire wings, he took off while ingesting what we could only assume was Phoenix tears.

"Ahh… thanks Ravel that was just what I needed." After he drank the healing liquid his right arm regrew, however he still had a frown on his face. "Hmm… it seems as though you're little curse is still in effect. No matter I'll just have to be more careful now." I couldn't help but glare at Ravel for this, I also would've said something if Issei didn't beat me to it.

"You know I thought we had agreed to you not interfering." To her credit Ravel looked down sheepishly before replying.

"Sorry but he's my brother, and I didn't want to see him die." At this Riser laughed before addressing his sister.

"Oh Ravel, ye have little faith. I assure you that even with one arm I would've beaten these weaklings. Especially with my new toy."

Ravel tilted her head to the side in confusion. "What toy? I don't remember you getting anything to help in this fight."

"Well… it happened a few days after my unfortunate run in with the black lizard." I couldn't help but growl as he insulted my mate. "Aw… does the kitten not like me insulting her boyfriend? Well to bad! He deserves everything that he's going to get." He then dug around his right pocket before taking a strange green pyramid. "You see I was told that this artifact would allow me to bring about my revenge!" As he finished speaking we felt him start pouring his demonic energy into the pyramid.

After a bit it started floating in his hand while also glowing, during this my instincts started going haywire. It was as if they were telling me to run far away from here. However I needed to stay strong for my king so I stood my ground. Eventually a strange feeling started to wash over me as we watched. Tiring of waiting Akeno launched a lightning bolt at him. However it was deflected off without even scratching him. At this all of us started to become worried.

However what Keno said next surprised us. "This feeling… I've felt it somewhere before. But I can't put my finger on it."

"Argh!" As one we turned back to Riser as he dropped to his knees in pain. The green pyramid still floating where it once was. "What… what's happening to me?!" That was when it happened his flaming wings disappeared only to be replaced by a new set. These ones were attached to scaly membranes, and were also made up of greyish white feathers.

Keno seeing this spoke out in shock. "It can't be…" I was about to question her on what she meant when Riser started laughing hysterically.

Scared for her brother Ravel spoke to him. "Onii Sama are you alright?" He stopped laughing before turning to look at Ravel. However I knew something was wrong; it also seemed the Issei noticed as well. Moving quickly he was in front of Ravel as Riser launched a wave of white fire at her. Using the boosts he accumulated, Issei managed to block the flames from hitting them both.

Clicking her teeth Keno yelled out to all of us. "Be careful everyone! Riser can now use white elemental flames!" Turning back to Riser, we listened as he started mocking everyone.

"Yes… this power flowing through me is now invigorating! I've never felt so strong before! Now I think I need to get rid of all of you. Especially you miss cat, for you shall pay for your mates crimes against Riser!" He then clapped his hands together, and a wave of white energy shot out from him. However it passed over us harmlessly.

Okay what was that supposed to be? Shaking my head I focused on the task at hand… beating some sense back into Riser! Kiba seemed to have the same idea as he charged the now white element charged Riser. Bringing up his holy eraser he struck. However Riser just caught between his right thumb and forefingers. With his left hand he was making a no you don't gesture.

"Sorry little knight, but against me you'd need a new sword. This one may be all well and good against holy elements. But is quite useless against a white primal element." He then shattered Kiba's sword before launching another wave of white flames at him.

"AHHH!" Kiba's screams echoed out as we moved forward to help. With Keno she summoned a new sword. It was a black chokoto which seemed to absorb light. Using her speed she appeared behind Riser swinging her weapon at him. However Riser must've felt the attack coming.

"Tsk…" Riser dodged the attack and also dropped Kiba as he jumped to the left. Asia rushed over to him and began to quickly heal our fallen knight.

Looking down at him in concern Rias asked an important question. "Why wasn't he retired?" Thinking about it we all realized that she was right. Something as life threatening as this should've taken him out of the game.

Again Riser started laughing before speaking. "You really don't get it do you! HA! Sorry my dear friends, but I used my new abilities to reprogram the barrier! You can't be retired anymore! Which means I get to have my fun with all of you! Also don't bother asking for help for no one can get inside."

I couldn't help but grind my teeth at this. So that's what he did before! I guess this is a lot more dangerous than we first thought. I then looked back to Kiba in worry. Already he's gotten Kiba, the rest of us should be careful.

"Riser stop this!" In shock I turned to Ravel who was starting to plead to her brother. "I know despite everything, that you wouldn't actually kill anyone. It's whatever that device was! It's controlling your thoughts!" Looking back to Riser, I watched as he seemed to struggle with something before turning back to Ravel and Issei. Then with a malicious smirk he launched another wave of fire at them.

To shocked to move, Issei was forced to grab her and jump out of the way. "Hey are you okay?" At his question Ravel nodded nervously, before Issei turned to Riser. "Hey! What's the big idea here?! Are you trying to kill your sister! Sorry but as an older brother myself I can't let that fly!" Again Riser seemed to fight himself before shaking his head.

"Sorry but that trash is no sister of mine. If anything all of you here are my toys!~ Things which I can play with anyway I want."

Ravel seemed to become slightly unresponsive at his words. "Bu-but Onii S-Sama…" Seeing this I struck a chord with me.

So I snapped at the deranged Phenex. "How could you say something like that?! How could you even think to attack your sister?! It's as if you flipped a switch once you got ahold of that pyramid…" I couldn't help but furrow my brow as I began to realize something. "Hey the one who gave your new "toy" was she a Nekomata with blonde hair?"

Looking back at me he chuckled before answering. "Why yes… at least one of the two was a blonde haired Nekomata. Although she was strange, you see she had more than one tail. As for her friend… she was also rather strange, a pair of black and white wings." At this I couldn't help but feel something stir inside me.

So not only was the one who hurt Fuyo involved, but also Sera… I'll make sure to pay them back extra for what they've done.

"Uh Koneko?" Looking back to Akeno I saw that she was looking at me in worry. "You're aura has become rather dark are you okay? And what was with those questions?" Was I dark? I had no idea that my anger was so cold.

Still I answered her with an evil smile. "Why yes dear Akeno I am fine. But you see those two whom Riser mentioned won't be. Especially since they're responsible for Fuyo's pain, so really… what else am I supposed to do right now?" At my cold demeanor everyone took a step away from me. Well except Riser who took a step forward.

"Oh? So you want to hurt my new friends? Sorry~ but you won't even make it out of this arena alive." Looking back I gave him my coldest glare before replying.

"We'll just have to see about that." Sighing he began his attack; he first attacked Keno who was the closest one to him. Surprised she was barely able to move out of the way as he sent a flaming fist at her. With his back turned both Rias and Akeno launched their respective spells at him. I also ran forward to start attacking with newfound purpose. However Riser only turned around, and batted away both spells before dodging my attacks with ease.

Whatever happened to him, he's much faster and stronger than before! Then with amazing speed he caught my wrists.

"Sorry little cat but I think I need to borrow this." Grabbing my necklace he ripped it off of me before tossing it off the roof. He then lashed out with his left leg and caught me in the stomach. Coughing and spitting out some blood I doubled over with blurry vision. That was when I felt him slam the same leg onto my back. Falling to the ground I cried out in pain as he dug his foot into my spine.

"Koneko!" Yelling out my name Rias started firing multiple arrows made out of destruction magic at Riser. However he easily blocked them with one hand. Then with his left he sent a wave of fire at Rias. Scowling she jumped out of the way as I tried to get up. Only for him to stomp back down on me.

"I wouldn't move if I were you little kitten. After all how am I supposed to have fun if you're not even conscious?" Gritting my teeth at his words I felt my pressure press down on me. Issei charged with a yell as Ddraig's voice rang out from the booster gear.

{Explosion!} He then punched straight at Riser's face, it connected which made Issei grin. However it soon disappeared as Riser stood completely unharmed.

"So… is that the best the red dragon emperor can do?" Then with a right uppercut he launched Issei into the air, he landed a few feet away from Rias."

At this both Rias and Akeno huddled around him. ""Issei!"" He was out cold which wasn't a good sign for us. Especially when Riser sent another wave of fire at them. Sacrificing herself Akeno pushed Rias and Issei out of the way, taking the hit directly. She screamed in pain as the fire died down.

"Akeno!" Rias rushed to her and picked her up before taking both Issei and Akeno to Asia. "Asia put up a barrier and focus on healing these three. We'll handle things from here." Asia nodded before closing her eyes and creating a white see through box around her and her patients. Unfortunately I was still pinned under Riser's foot, and was having no success at escaping.

Ravel deciding to help stop her now insane brother, fired off her own regular phoenix flames at him. However he just clicked his teeth before dispersing them with a wave of his left wing. That was when Keno made her move. Jumping in behind the flames she swung at his head. However he stepped off of me to avoid it, and then sent a kick towards the purple swordswoman.

Keno avoided it by jumping back, however he only changed his kick to stomp back down on me.

"Gah!" Coughing out some more blood I started to feel dizzy from the pain.

"Koneko!" Yelling out to me Rias started to send a barrage of spells at him. However he countered with a sphere of white fire, which blew through her spells and hit her. This sent her off the roof of the building.

"Rias!" After yelling out her name Keno turned back to glare at Riser. She then summoned a second chokoto and charged him. This time Riser actually jumped off my back allowing me some time to recuperate. But that was short lived as he caught both of her swords.

"Sorry but even with your white elemental destroying blades, you're no match for me." He then crushed both swords and grabbed her face, before smashing it down on the hard roof. He did it over and over again until she was unconscious. Holding her up she now had blood dripping down her face. Laughing he tossed her off the roof. I couldn't help but yell out to her.

"Keno!" Unfortunately this action brought the deranged phoenix's attention onto me.

"So now it's come down to two… don't worry little kitten I'll deal with you soon enough." Refocusing on Ravel he started to walk towards her as she backed up with tears.

"Don't do this Riser… please just come back to your senses!" Again he seemed to fight himself but eventually shook his head and continued walking up to her as she pleaded. "Onii Sama please just stop! I'm begging you to…" She was interrupted as he sent a flaming hand through her stomach. "Onii Sama… why?" He then tore his hand back out before speaking.

"Sorry but your old Onii Sama's gone." Coughing out some blood she fell to her knees, before completely falling face down onto the roof. However what was worrying was that her injury wasn't healing.

It must be the white element! It's the same way with holy items and magics! Standing up I prepared to fight as he turned to me.

"You're next little kitten!~" He then set upon with surprising speed, and before I knew it he was holding me up by my throat. Grabbing onto his left arm, I tried to break free from his grip, but he just tightened it instead. "So it seems I'll finally take out my revenge on you. How fitting that the lizard won't be able to come save you." Riser then proceeded to beat me with a flurry of punches, and after each hit I couldn't help but to cough out some blood onto his arm. I could do nothing as he laughed and beat me within an inch of my life. But when he reached up to my right cat ear with a flame in his hand, was when I knew I needed to try harder.

However it was no use as he cupped my ear with the flame. With this I felt more pain than I've ever felt in my entire life, nothing could come close. I couldn't help but start screaming as he laughed at my pain. Letting go of my ear he then moved onto my left. My screams echoed out as Asia watched helpless, unable to do anything to save me.

"That's it! Scream! I'm sure the lizard is tearing himself apart right now! So how about I burn some more sensitive places. Shall I burn your-" He was interrupted as a black ball slammed into him, making him instantly drop me. However instead of feeling the hard ground I felt to arms grab hold of me.

"I'm sorry I couldn't make it in sooner." Opening my eyes I smiled at who I saw.

"Don't worry, you made it in anyway Chri Kun." Yep somehow my mate had made it inside, and was now holding me gently.

"Nostrum." Feeling the healing spell wash over me I felt my injuries heal. Although he focused more on my ears, when he was done he lowered me to the ground. Giving me a kiss he turned to Riser. "Riser I know you're not yourself right now, but you also have to understand I can't just let you get away with this. Prepare to be in a world of pain!"

The black dragon the white cat

The Black Dragon (five minutes earlier)

I was actually rather impressed on their progress so far. They were doing extremely well, especially Shirone who was the most worried out of everyone. Really how could I not feel proud? But there was still something I was rather confused about. Luckily I had a certain green dragon next to me that could answer them.

"So Juda what exactly was that green crystal my mate used?" Looking over to me, and then to those around him he answered my question.

"Those were spell crystals I made specifically for Koneko. You see as a yokai she has an innate green element. However since she's had no formal magical training of any kind, she couldn't use any of my spells. Well at least not yet. So I created five crystals one of my spells in each one. Really the strongest she has is the aero buster you saw her use. To be honest I'm hoping to actually teach her how to use my spells without the use of the crystals one day."

I couldn't help but smile at his words. Because while I knew she was getting better, Shirone was still scared of using senjutsu. So for the time being, learning primal green elemental magic would be a huge boon to her.

"What is Riser holding?" Confused I turned to Sirzechs before turning back to watch. Now in Riser's hand was a strange green pyramid that seemed familiar.

[How didst he get ahold of that! That is a pyramid of fate!] My eyes widened while I turned to Juda and Ulysses. Their focus was glued onto the pyramid.

Apparently they've already realized what that thing is. However it was what happened when he actually used it that got to us. At the sight of Riser's new wings I couldn't help but start to panic. I knew what those wings were, how could I not?

Before I could contemplate things further I saw Riser clap his hands together and the whole screen went black. Now we had to rely on our actual vision to try and see what was going on in the arena. However I wasn't just going to sit around. So gently putting a worried Ophis and Milly aside I got up and prepared to jump in. However before I could move I felt Ulysses grab me. Looking back at him I couldn't help but growl.

"Ulysses… let go of me now." Shaking his head he tried to calm me down.

"Sorry I can't do that, the way you are now you'd kill Riser. Which won't look good for the rest of us, even if he does seem to be possessed."

Sirzechs seeing the commotion approached us. "Sorry but what exactly is going on here? You know something don't you. Also I'm afraid I can't let you interfere, the rating game is still going on and Rias would be disqualified if any…" He was cut off when Grayfia ran into the room.

She then spoke with worry in her voice. "Sirzechs Sama! I can't seem to retire anyone anymore! At this point it's safe to say that Rias Sama won. But now with everything thrown out of balance we can't do anything to interfere!" Sirzechs looked at his queen worried before turning to Ulysses.

"What exactly did Riser use to become this strong?!"

Ulysses shook his head before speaking to him. "I'm not sure but it gave him the ability to use the white element to a surprising degree." Sirzechs was about to say something else when I heard something. With my dragon enhanced senses already activated I could hear a small scream. It only took me a second to figure out who it belong to.

"Shirone!" Looking at me in surprise, Ulysses tried to stop me as I ripped a hole in the barrier and jumped through.

"Christopher don't do it!" I ignored him as I deactivated me seals and ran to wear I heard Shirone screaming. Arriving on top of the roof of the school, I didn't even think about my next actions. All I saw was Riser torturing my mate. So without thinking I launched a gravity ball at the phoenix. Then with fast speed I caught Shirone before speaking gently to her.

"I'm sorry I couldn't make it sooner." As I used nostrum she told me not to worry as I gently put her down. Standing up I glared at the phoenix. "Riser I know you're not yourself right now, but you also have to understand I can't just let you get away with this. Prepare to be in a world of pain!" He only looked at me before laughing.

"Mwhaha! Well if it isn't the lizard, I've been waiting for this. First I'll beat you within an inch of your life, then I'll force you to watch helplessly as I have my way with the cat. But first I-" I didn't let him continue speaking. After I heard what he said he was going to do to Shirone I snapped. So with my full speed and power I was in front of him in an instant. Blinking at me he was about to say something, when my right hook contacted his face.

He staggered backwards as I began my full assault. Jabs, punches, kicks… it didn't matter how hard he tried, Riser wasn't able to dodge or block any of my attacks. Eventually with a left uppercut I sent him onto his back. Turning over to the side he spat out some blood before glaring at me.

"How can this be?! I'm Riser Phenex, and with this new power I'm as strong as an ultimate class devil. How can you be this strong?!" Before I could answer tauntingly, he got up and sent a wave of white fire over me. However all I did was raise my left hand and actually grab the flame. Those around me could only watch in amazement, as I condensed the spell into my hand. Eventually I was holding all the flames in a little ball, but I wasn't done yet. Adding my own black element to the mix, I made the flames black before launching back at Riser.

He roared in anger as the flames washed over be honest I was impressed that he actually didn't scream out in pain. Still he staggered out of the flames now relatively burnt. Turning to me he spoke in a pained voice.

"This is impossible, even if you are a dragon. My flames should've burnt you to a crisp, the white element should've been enough." At his words I shook my head.

"You need more than just and opposite colored element to take me down Riser. Sorry but the strength of someone who's barely ultimate class can't harm me. Now I think it's time to get you back to your senses." With that I didn't bother saying anything else. No I just charged forward and shot my hand into Riser's pocket. Grabbing the pyramid of fate I jumped back as he swiped at me.

Looking at what I held he cried out in panic. "No! I won't allow you to destroy that!" However it was too late as I crushed it in my hand. As soon as I did he gripped his head in pain as a white light encompassed him. Seeing what was going to happen I ran to Shirone, and held her to me as a large explosion ripped out of Riser. Bracing I felt the explosion pass over us. When I felt all traces of the white element leave the area I turned back to Riser.

He was on his back now, completely unconscious. Sighing in relief I then quickly let out my senses looking for a few specific things. Feeling out both Keno and Rias, I used my abilities to bring them back to the roof. Both were in pretty bad condition but would live. I then looked over to Asia as she began to heal Ravel. Knowing that they were fine I turned to see her last three patients now healed up. So deciding to help out I cast a nostrum on both Keno and Rias.

With everyone now healed I focused on finding one last thing. A special gem that used to around my mates neck, after finding it I brought back up where I grabbed it and fixed the cord.

Turning back to Shirone I spoke in a soft voice. "Here I think this belongs to you." Looking at her necklace she smiled softly before taking it and putting it back on.

"Thank you." She then leaned forward and captured me in a kiss. As I returned it I finally felt calm again and replaced my seals. But when we parted I gave her a cheeky smile before picking her up in my arms. "Chri-kun! What are you doing?!"

I laughed before holding her closer. "Sorry but you're still slightly injured, so I'll be holding onto you until you aren't" She pouted adorably before I kissed her one more time. After parting we shared a small laugh, and then everything was right again. At least for the most part… I was still worried about Riser's surprising powerup.

Not to mention those wings… I guess what Ulysses said was true. Our hunter really is bringing some interesting people to their cause.

Element Affinity: person… Dual elements are gained through special means. Such as a sacred gears or reincarnation it can also be gained by linage.

Order of the elements does mater.

Note: Having more than one element doesn't mean you're stronger than those with one. Having more than one only gives you more choices to use.
