Hello once again! OK this chapter is the first of the final 3 chapters. They are somewhat long, but they are still exciting. I'm sorry I couldn't update, I had lots of projects holding me back from school. Anyways, enjoy and I'll see you in at the end.

The dragon's spirit

Issei's legs shook, knowing the danger ahead. The final battle to make his wish come true. It wasn't so far from him, but this was Satan's elite guard. They wiped out nearly half of the squads that were participating. Who knows how crazy their power must be.

[Hyodo-kun, its time to go now.]

Yeah! Let's win this Saizen, then we can go back to the world of the living.

[I agree.]

He ran towards the arena. The battlefield they were going to fight in was different. It was large, much like the old arena's used for gladiator fighting. The large bronze walls loomed over him as he approached the structure. Dark clouds started to clawed its way towards the arena. A truly terrifying sight for those ready for battle.

He entered the long, dark hallway towards the center of the arena. He exited to see a brilliant white light. When his vision cleared, he saw an arena filled with many people eager to see this spectacle. Issei looked around, this was far larger than any of the previous battlegrounds. It was only dirt and large stone walls that surrounded him. He looked to the other side of the arena to see a balcony that was occupied by Lena, her mother, and father. She looked much like a princess with her shining red dress and braided hair.

Issei looked to the other balcony next to theirs. A man in a blood-red suit was seated there. His black hair was combed neatly and a wicked smile on his face. Black eyes that were piercing as if they could look at your soul. Issei knew that the man he was watching was Satan.

He continued walking towards his members. They were wearing their usual clothing, but they were as nervous as Issei was. He arrived and soon, he could take a glimpse of Satan's guard. The leader it seems was the woman that had a dark-purple hair similar to Akeno-san's. She had has icy blue eyes, and was wearing what looks like an ordinary school girl outfit. The top was blue and her skirt was white. The girl to her right looked like the next in command. She had blue hair, green eyes, and glasses. She wore the same outfit as her leader. She was about the same height as Issei. The next one wore a white robe. She looked like a samurai. The green hair was tied to a pony tail and her dark emerald eyes looked relatively calm. The next girl had orange red hair. It was somewhat messy and it reached to her waist. She had brown eyes that seemed eager to fight. Her outfit looked much like a thief. She had a holster on her side so her weapon was gun. The next two looked like twins. Their matching black hair and purple eyes could easily seduce any man they meet. Their small loli bodies were clothed in a black school uniform. The final girl was a blonde woman. She looked like a princess. The golden curls and blue eyes made her an ideal girl. She looked similar to Ravel.

He stood there examining his opponents. He was trying to stay calm against these girls, but he couldn't take off his eyes off their chest. They were nice and large. They looked really soft. He was wondering if, there was an opportunity, he could grope them as an early victory.

Satan stood up and walked forward shouting,

"Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome all of you to the 32nd annual Battle Royale. 10,000 squads participated in this event and now these last two remaining teams are here to settle the final battle. We hope you all have an exciting time, and to the winners of this battle, you will each have one wish granted to you. The final battle is here! Let us start!"

The crowd let out a thunderous cheer. All were eager to see these two powerful squads to battle. They were anticipating the countdown and the inevitable battle.

A floating block appeared in the sky and the numbers counted down. Issei's team and their opponents got ready. They all shifted to their battle positions. The countdown continued.

3...2...1...Begin!

In an instant both teams charged at each other. They closed the distance fairly quick. A large shockwave erupted as the teams collided. A large amount of power was released in a few seconds.

Issei was up against the girl with glasses. She was using her hands and feet, so it was an even fight. She charged at Issei and attempted a kick to the head. Issei ducked, but she quickly followed it up with a straight kick to Issei's chest, pushing him back. She wasn't finished though, she went on with a right hook. Issei blocked the punch and he pulled her towards him and shot a punch towards her stomach. She was stunned at the hit. Saizen managed to use his void skills to nullify the girl's body by a few seconds, giving Issei a follow up hit. He kicked her into the air and charged up a punch. His arm was covered by a swirling, gray wind. He charged towards the girl's falling body and connected his punch to her back. The wind howled as it swirled and ripped her clothing to shreds. She was sent flying to the nearest wall and she was engraved into it.

Giga Impact: Wind Ripper.

Issei watched the huge crater in the wall. The smoked cleared and he saw the girl standing as if nothing happened. She merely dusted herself off and looked at Issei intently. She said nothing and closed her eyes. In a flash she was gone, and in the next a foot was planted on the side of Issei's head. He was sent flying toward the wall when she appeared again and clotheslines him with her arm. Issei fell to the ground with an excruciating feeling on his neck. She looked down on him with her shining glasses and picked him up. She smashed him against the wall and a large boom exploded as Issei's body was planted into the wall. He spat out blood and looked at her again. She was smiling… She smashed Issei against the wall again, but he went in much deeper. She finally let go and Issei's body crashed to the ground.

Elsewhere in the battle field…

Tsuki took out her silver scythe and swung it upwards at her opponent. She missed again and again. The blonde girl was too fast and she expertly dodged her slices. Cera soon came to her aid and managed to hit the girl, knocking her off balance. Tsuki took this opportunity and strike her. She muttered

"Half-Moon Blade Dance."

Her eyes shined iridescent red and her movement increased tremendously. She swung her scythe upwards, launching her opponent into the air, followed it up with a kick to the stomach and grabbed her scythe with only left hand and swung it. The girl was sent back flying a few meters, but when she got up, she didn't seem to take damage. She merely smirked and charged at Tsuki with great speed. She was a blur to Tsuki, which made her lower her guard trying to figure out where she might strike, but she appeared next her and smashed her right thigh to Tsuki's flank and made her tumble to the ground. She could feel devastating pain coming from her left hip. It burned as well. She looked up to see her approaching with a smile on her face.

Cera fought the leader with great intensity. Her opponent dodged each of her attacks and fought back with a long slender whip. She smashed the whip to the ground where Cera stood and an tremble would be released. She cracked the whip at Cera's direction. It barely reached Cera, but a large shockwave blasted when the crack of the whip was heard. She was blown back a couple of feet from her opponent. She was going to have a hard time trying to get in range for her to get any hits. These girls were crazy strong.

Nene crossed swords with the samurai and moved at incredible speed, much faster than Kiba and Zenovia. Their swords sang through air with incredible speed and power. Their swords sent sparks in the air and it screeched through the arena. Nene and her opponent pushed each other back. They raised their sword and charged again. Their swords clashed once and they were behind each other. They stood still for a moment and after a second's delay, Nene had a scratch on her cheek, while the girl had a rip in her cheek. Nene knew she was up against a powerful opponent. No could match her speed, but Momo. She turned around to face her opponent again, her enemy did the same. Their swords rested on one hand. Both were waiting on who will make the first move. Both made a slight motion and suddenly they were gone, back in battle, hidden by their speed.

Momo shot 5 rounds at the red-headed girl with precise accuracy. One bullet only grazed her while the others missed. The girl was running on the wall and she shot 4 rounds at Momo. She dodged the bullets with ease. Momo shot 2 bullets that had a phoenix marked on their side and the bullets roared through the air as they resembled a charging phoenix. The girl jumped over the bullets and shot a bullet at Momo that had a snowflake on its side. The bullet missed Momo, but the ground froze and Momo's feet were frozen to the ground. The girl blew the smoke off her gun and aimed her. She pulled the trigger.

Koren and Kurona worked together as they fought the twins. All four fighters were nekomatas. They hit each other with devastating force and senjutsu infused punches. Koren jumped to the air next to Kurona and she grabbed her feet and jumped to the air as well. She flipped twice before throwing Koren at the twins. Koren's body was moving at extreme speeds while her fists were outstretched. The twins reacted with a powerful combination. The first girl slid under Koren's body and used her feet to kick Koren up in the air where her sister appeared and roundhouse kicked her body. Koren tumbled to the ground where Kurona ran towards her. She slowly got up and rubbed the few drops of blood away from her mouth. These twins were in par with their abilities. A few seconds were a stalemate until the battle resumed between the 4 girls.

Back to Issei…

He was almost unconscious, but he managed to get up. Those hits were wearing his body down. Issei stood up slowly while the girl was watching him. She had some tremendous strength on that body. Issei activated his Sacred gear and a brilliant light illuminated his fists and black gloves with a dragon insignia formed. He charged at her again, and managed to get some hits on her. They were battling it out with only fists. Issei remembered his fight with Sairaorg-san, but the only difference is the power. This girl was far stronger than Sairaorg-san and faster. Issei hits were blocked, but he also blocked her attack.

Dang, I can't get a single punch in. Should I use Dress-break?

[Why not? Give the audience some entertainment. It might get you some support.]

Alright.

Issei extended his hand and a small beam shot at the girl. It grazed her clothes since she dodged it. Issei already had her. He closed his hand and yelled

"Dress-break!"

Her clothing was ripped to shreds. Issei's prediction was actually correct. She broke down and covered her body. She was getting teary-eyed. She looked at Issei and bawled her eyes out, while saying between sobs

"Ahh, I'm exposed. I'll never have a lover now! Ahh!"

She looked at Issei again with new determination. She stood up, still covering herself and said to Issei

"You win this time, but after this battle, you must take…responsibility… *blush* for what you have done. I won't let you escape if you do not fulfill your duty."

"Eeeh?"

She was blushing like a rose. She spoke to the air and declared

"I yield. I lose this battle."

She looked back at Issei and gave a him a stare. She winked once before she disappeared in a bright, blue light.

Issei stood there dumb-founded. He attracted another girl. This is going to be troublesome to the others. He saw Tsuki being approached by a girl in the distance and rushed to her aid. He moved fast enough to connect his wind ripper to the girl's left flank and send her flying.

He stood over Tsuki and said

"You ok?"

"Ahh yeah, I have this pain in my hip though. I can't move since it hurts really bad."

"Don't worry, I'll help you up."

Issei focused on his surrounding and touched Tsuki's hip. A green light appeared on his hand. Saizen was helping with the flow of energy since a devil, who isn't nekomatas, isn't able to do such a skill.

Tsuki's hip was healed to only sore. She stood up again and grabbed her scythe. The pair turned and faced their opponent. She was watching them with disgust in her gaze. She said nothing, and lunged at them. Issei countered her attempt by going running toward her, then turning 180 degrees and did a front flip. His foot had a strong impact on her chest and she floated in the air for a short while. Issei grabbed her legs and threw her towards Tsuki. Tsuki figured out what he was doing and got her scythe ready. Tsuki's eyes glowed iridescent red again and she muttered

"Red Moon Ballet."

She started the attack with an upward slash and followed it up with a series of slashes that went in a fluid circular motion. Each slash hitting their mark on her body. She finished her 'dance' with a 360 degree spin that made a blood circle in the air. Tsuki's eyes still flashed red, making her look like a reaper. The girl's body fell to the ground with numerous marks on her skin. She fell limp and her body was swallowed by a bright light.

This was by far their hardest fight as a team. These people were strong, but at least they were able to beat two of them.

Issei looked at Tsuki. She had some injuries on her body. Her clothes were somewhat ripped, but the most noticeable thing was the burn mark on her hip and part of her cheek.

His train of thought was interrupted when a scream was heard behind him. He and Tsuki turned around to see Momo and Nene fall to the ground. Nene had a stab wound on her stomach while Momo had bullet marks on her body. They fell to the ground and disappeared.

They were wiped out and their opponents barely used their power. The gun girl smiled in triumphed while the samurai slashed her blade and let the blood splatter on the ground before sheathing the blade.

Momo and Nene were their fastest members and were great at offense, but were beaten with barely a whisper of effort.

S-strong…

[Tch. Such speed and power… We must be wary of those two. If we are overwhelmed then we will easily lose. You are by far the strongest in the squad, and if you lose, then the whole squad loses.]

Yeah, I kind of got that.

These girls are a struggle to defeat. Issei is somewhat wounded, and Tsuki was slightly burned and her hip was still a hindrance.

Issei wonders how long they are able to hold out. This is going to be troublesome

Yeah, I know. It was somewhat rushed. I don't want to spoil the rest of the final chapters. Its kind of short, so I'm sorry. Please review and I'll have the next chapter out tomorrow. Bye now!
