Chapter 17: Riser Vs. Rias

"Lord Riser mhmm." Yubelluna moaned into her master's mouth as they both heavily made out in the Student Council Office. The queen popped herself from her master's fiery mouth, "Should we start the match?"

Riser looked over Yubelluna before smacking and grabbing her ass, "Yes. Do as you all please. Whoever takes out the most pieces gets special treatment from Riser tonight." Most of his pieces widened their eyes in anticipation while a few had neutral expressions and didn't care as they all left Riser alone in the office. Riser closed his eyes and smirked. He was arrogant thinking he was going to easily win this match. Not just because of his family power but because of the support of a Devil King. Riser started laughing as he remembered the events yesterday. He inwardly grinned as with the support of such a Great Devil King, the match would be his.

*Yesterday*

"Young Phenex." suddenly said a man who teleported into Riser's room.

Riser looked up suddenly as he wasn't given any news of someone visiting him. He scanned the person and quickly saw the robes of a Devil King; once he saw who the King was, he quickly and immediately bowed.

"My lord."

"At ease young Phenex, I understand you have a match tomorrow?"

"Yes Lord Belphegor. Is that the reason for this visit?" Riser asked. Lord Belphegor or his full name Lord Sheev Belphegor was the newest of the now five Devil Kings. He had quickly earned the likes of not just high class but low and middle class devils as well. And not to include his immense power which was on par with Sirzechs Lucifer himself.

"Yes Lord Riser." Palpatine smirked using Riser's ego to his advantage, "Though I have the utmost confidence that you will win tomorrow, I'm here to offer an additional precaution that will guarantee victory." He handed Riser some papers and a pill tablet. (A/N: I'll use Palpatine instead of Sheev or Belphegor. If you know Star Wars you know almost everyone refers to him as Palpatine so I'll do it so everything runs smoother.)

Riser scanned through the papers widening his eyes at what was on it, "This...This is."

"Yes. Everything about those in the Gremory Peerage, their pasts, their powers and weaknesses, and further information only those in the peerage know." Palpatine interrupted and finished. He patted Riser's shoulder, "The tablet is a sort of last resort that contains portions of my power. Use it before the game starts and victory will be yours. Don't fail me Lord Riser."

Riser smirked at being called a Lord by Lord Belphegor, "Yes my lord. Riser loves the assistance but why would Riser need this if Riser's peerage is way stronger?"

Palpatine sneered inside but outside smiled, "It's a precaution. I rather like the combination of the Great Phenex with Bael and Gremory. Share the information I gave with the rest of your peerage. Whether you do this or not I'll leave it up to you. But even if there was a small chance to give up a body like Rias would you risk it Lord Riser?"

Riser shook his head instantly, he wanted Rias' body, no, he needed it, "My Lord. Riser will accept this gift. Thank you."

Palpatine smirked at this, "Good my child. Now win this for me and for the future of the devil race."

Riser nodded profusely, "Yes my Lord. Riser will not fail someone as great as you."

"Ahhhh. That makes me feel much more reassured. Enjoy the rest of the day young Phenex." Palpatine turned around smirking at his plan before teleporting away.

*Back at the Present*

Riser started to laugh, swallowing the pill tablet and feeling the power as he played out the events of this match, this match was his, Rias was to be his, and most importantly her body was his, "Ahahahahah, Rias you're mine now!" Riser laughed away as his pieces left and were now going to their locations.

*With Rias' Peerage*

"Remember guys. This is it. The last ten days of training led up to this. Let's not disappoint our trainers and show Riser all we've got!" Rias exclaimed making everyone cheer.

"Rias! We will win!" Akeno met Rias with her determined eyes as everyone agreed.

"Yes. Now Koneko and Sumire take the gym.Bits the center point of the map and will allow for faster rotations if we need it. It's also the most strageitc point so tread with caution. If you see any enemies, engage unless there are too many. Show them what you two are made of. Akeno go to the skies and use the training Marina taught us to quickly pick off any stray pieces. If you spot Yubelluna be cautious, she's known as the Bomb Queen for a reason. Kiba go into the forest, if you get a hold of it, it would very advantageous for us. Now let's do this Gremories!" Everyone cheered one last time before wishing each other luck as they left the ORC clubhouse. Rias and Asia were the only ones left in the clubhouse due to Asia not being able to fight and Rias, well, she was the king.

"We got this right Lady Rias?" worriedly asked Asia as she nervously stood next to her king.

"We got this Asia." calmly stared Rias as she eyed each of her pieces leave the clubhouse. 'Riser. Today I free myself of your clutches. I will be free.'

"Wait." Koneko pulled on Sumire's shirt, "I sense four beings in the gym right now."

Sumire nodded in anticipation summoning her [Boosted Gear]. Following Koneko's footsteps, she calmly walked inside the gym to indeed see four people from Riser's peerage. Two twins, a Asian adorned lady, and that girl, Mira.

"Seems Lady Rias' pieces finally made it. Names Xuelan." The Asian adorned lady said as fists began to emit fire.

"Lle!" grinned one of the twins.

"Nel!" grinned the other before they both activated their chainsaws.

"I am Mira and we will defeat you in the name of our Great Lord Riser!" shouted Mira before the four of them came at Koneko and Sumire. The three pawns aimed specifically at Sumire who began to run away from the chainsaw wielders. Meanwhile, while Sumire was running laps around the gym escaping the grasps of chainsaws and staff, mainly the chainsaws, Koneko who summoned her nekomata features was having a fist battle with Xuelan. Phenex flames vs ki empowered fists.

Xuelan quickly let loose some fire fists and bursts of fire at Koneko who quikcly dodged them thanks to her training. She leapt off of her feet as she dodged another fire blast, leaping and punching Xuelan in the chest. Xuelan then grabbed Koneko's arm much to her surprise.

"We're rooks. Our defenses are strong." Xuelan smirked before the arm grabbing Koneko erupted in flames making Koneko scream in pain.

"Koneko!" Sumire shouted seeing the fight.

[DODGE!]

Sumire barely dodged a chainsaw strike that would've cut her down in half. She thanked Ddraig and counted that she had two boosts ready.

"You're right. Rooks have defense." Koneko grimaced before her free hand punched Xuelan with ki. Taking advantage of the stunned Xuelan, Koneko let loose as punches and kicks hit Xuelan. Xuelan saw an opening and kicked at Koneko's feet to try and make her fall but Koneko only jumped and punched down.

"It infuriates me that a newbie is doing this well." Xuelan wiped her mouth of blood as she stood up.

Koneko narrowed her eyes as she punched Xuelan who blocked it with her arms.

"It makes sense. Since your sister is the legendary stray Devil Kuroka." Xuelan smirked behind her arms as Koneko suddenly went pale.

"What does she have to do with this?" Koneko tried to maintain her monotone voice but emotions were leaking through which Xuelan smirked at.

"Once we finish you. Lord Riser will seek out your sister and make her his sex pet. She will be-" Xuelan raised her eyebrow in surprise as she felt more pressure from her blocking arms. She suddenly yelled in pain as her arms were seemingly burned. But by what?

Koneko stood across from the rook. Her aura was bright white as as her fists were coated in heavy white and gray ki. She glared at the rook, breaking her quiet personality, "Riser will never touch my sister."

She rushed over in tremendous speed which Xuelan couldn't react to as she punched Xuelan with flaming ki straight in the face. The poor rook didn't know what hit her as she felt as if her entire face was burning off.

She looked terrified as Koneko slowly walked over with her aura almost doubling. Xuelan felt the heat coming off of Koneko. 'No. Lord Riser will never forgive me!' She maintained her expression as she charged and put all her energy into a single hook punch. The punch landed but it barely made a dent on Koneko. The smaller rook only glared up at the now really terrified Xuelan.

Koneko sent an uppercut at Xuelan's face with such tremendous force that even the pawns felt it on the other side of the room as she was knocked out. Her body was beginning to fade as the pawns all stared in wonder at how Koneko even dished out so much power.

"One of Lord Riser's Rooks: Retired." Grayfia's voice was heard from the loudspeaker.

The two twins nodded at each other and charged with their chainsaws blazing at the still Koneko.

"Koneko!" Sumire suddenly shouted in worry, 'Dammit! Only five boosts?' But she didn't need to worry.

As the twins were rounding near Koneko, Koneko suddenly turned around and her expression and urs alone scared the the two pawns as they slowed in their advances. Koneko suddenly launched forward with her two fists each in the twins' faces as she stopped on the gym floor. The twins were both flown into the bleachers on the other side as their bodies began to fade like Xuelan.

"Two of Lord Riser's Pawns: Retired."

Mira looked on in horror as three pieces were basically one shot by Koneko, a newbie! She stood frozen as Koneko set her sights on the pawn. Koneko blinked across the floor as her punch flew straight into the poor pawns stomach sending her flying through the roof of the gym building. Moments later, her body came crashing down, bleeding and scorch marks seen before she too began to fade.

"One of Lord Riser's Pawns: Retired."

Koneko looked at Sumire who was in awe at how Koneko simply dispatched four of Riser's pieces in mere seconds. She let out a sigh as her aura seemingly died down and she well looked like Koneko before the gym fight.

"Sumire! Koneko! Are you guys okay? How did you two eliminate four pieces this quick!" Rias' voice was seen as a red little magic circle appeared next to both Koneko's and Sumire's ears.

"It was all Koneko." Sumire exclaimed which left Rias silent.

"I'm alright President." Koneko said in a her usual monotone voice.

"Ok. That's good. Leave the gym and find Kiba. Good job." Koneko and Sumire nodded as they walked out of the gym.

"What was that Koneko? How did you do that?" Sumire asked Koneko who stared off into the forest.

"I-I..." Koneko suddenly collapsed, her legs betraying her as she fell down on the ground. Sumire widened her eyes and caught the falling Koneko just in time to see how she was beginning to fade. Her eyes began to flutter, "I'm sorry...Sumire." With that she fully faded away for some unknown reason as Sumire looked in shock at why Koneko suddenly retired.

"Rook Of Lady Rias: Retired."

"SUMIRE! WHAT HAPPENED?!" Rias screamed into Sumire's ear the moment she heard the announcement.

"I don't know. She just collapsed and faded..." Sumire gloomy responded as she couldn't comprehend what had just happened.

*In the Student Council Office*

The two peerages watched as Koneko and Sumire encountered four of Riser's pieces as they just walked into the gym. A fight brawled out as Issei shook his head as Sumire was running. However something else caught his attention.

"How the fuck?" Issei suddenly got up. "How did that rook Xuelan know Kuroka is Koneko's sister???"

"Don't only Rias, her brother, Grayfia, and the peerage know about it? And us..." Marina also widened her eyes.

"And us!" Sona added.

"Still, how the fuck does she know that?" Issei stared in disbelief, "Unless."

"Unless?" Sona raised her eyebrow.

'Riser had to have made contact with Sidious. Every Devil knew I was to train Rias and her peerage and maybe because of that he dug up everything on Koneko. But why just Koneko...wait. If he had information on something as secretive as Koneko's past, then he must have information on everyone else!' Issei widened his eyes as he communed with Nebula to confirm. The dragon agreed as Issei explained what he thought was happening, that Sidious was potentially using Riser or had made contact and is helping him in this match. The only reason was why this match?

"Hyoudou?" Sona tapped on her fellow King's shoulders.

"Huh what?" Issei snapped out of his thinking as he stared at Sona.

"Unless what?" Sona repeated.

"Oh um." Issei blinked as he remembered to not draw anyone else into this, "Unless Xuelan did some extensive research." He wasn't partially lying at least. Sure it wasn't Xuelan but someone was doing doing extensive research.

"Ok..." Sona grew suspicious at Issei before the announcement of someone retiring brought her back to the game.

"Rook of Lady Rias: Retired." At this, everyone widened their eyes as they saw Koneko retire but with no injuries. Maybe some bruises from Xuelan but that was it, nothing else.

'Maybe it wasn't the injuries. I'll have to ask Kuroka.' thought Issei as he began to watch the game once more.

Kiba was running through the woods as three pawns were behind his tail. He entered a small clearing when he stopped and turned around just in time to see the pawns right behind him.

"My my, we have quite a handsome knight here." said one of the pawns who was dressed up in a maid suit.

"Oh Burent, how it would hurt me if we hurt such a delicate face right Shuriya?" said another pawn who was also wearing a maid outfit.

"I agree with you Marion. But then how will we look at Riser if we don't defeat him?" Shuriya smirked alongside her fellow pawns as they rounded around the sword less knight.

"Hey handsome knight, when we defeat your master, we can offer you a job as a butler." Marion giggled alongside her fellow pawns. Kiba seemed unfazed as he gave his signature smile at the three.

"Rook Of Lady Rias: Retired."

"Haha, it was a matter of time. Even if four of our pieces are gone, one going down for you guys is much worse." Burent laughed.

"So how about it? Surrender and be our butler." smirked Shuriya.

Kiba looked down on the ground before disappearing in immense speed shocking the three pawns.

The three pawns stood still before they began to fall down all three coughing up blood with wounds bursting all around their bodies as Kiba reappeared in his original spot.

"My answer is no." Kiba gave another smile at the infuriated and fading pawns as he sheathed the sword he had summoned. He mentally thanked Noct for his speed training which allowed him to finish the three pawns.

"Three of Lord Riser's Pawns: Retired."

He sighed and cleared his mind before Rias' voice was heard next to his ear.

"Kiba! Great job! Now go meet with Issei! We're coming to the Student Council Office!" Rias commanded as Kiba nodded and began to walk away from the forest.

*With Sumire*

"What do you mean you're coming??" Sumire screamed into the communication circle after hearing that Rias was coming to face Riser. "Isn't the point for you to not go out??"

"Sumire, we got this." Rias said in an almost arrogant way, "After the training we've received, I believe we can survive a head on battle."

"He's experienced Rias! It's not safe!" Sumire protested as she rounded the clearing where Kiba was.

"It's an all in Sumire. One where we will win." Rias firmly stated before closing the communication circle. Sumire grumbled in frustration. The all in from Rias could cost the entire match.

*Clink!*

A sword suddenly was seen striking Sumire's gauntlet who barely managed to block the attack. Sumire sighed in relief as the knight jumped away a few feet from her.

"You are the pawn. The holder of the Red Dragon. My name is Karlamine, loyal-"

"Blah blah, servant of pig lord Riser. I get it." Karlamine narrowed her eyes at the disrespect Sumire was giving.

"You will regret that! I will teach you some respect Red Dragon!" Karlamine shouted before fashion forward and striking at Sumire. "Fighting the Red Dragon is nonetheless a great honor but disrespecting Lord Riser cannot go unpunished!"

'Ddraig! How many boosts?' Sumire stepped to her right to dodge a swing and lifted her gear to stop a cleave.

[You have enough.]

'Perfect!' Sumire tried to stand her ground as firmly as possible but Karlamine used her superior speed to attack Sumire's other arm that was unprotected. Sumire closed her eyes and waited for the pain but she only heard another clink.

"Not so fast." Kiba was suddenly by Sumire's side as he blocked Karlamine's strike.

"You must be the only knight of Lady Rias!" Karlamine smirked, "I am Karlamine! Knight of the Great-"

"Lord Riser we get it!" Sumire shouted in annoyance as she punched Karlamine with her gauntlet only for the knight to dodge and stay a few feet from the two.

"I am Kiba. I've been hoping to test my skills against another knight as yourself. Shall we have a duel?" Kiba pointed his sword at Karlamine who stood ready.

"A duel between us would be acceptable. Let's begin then knight of Rias. Let's see who is the superior knight!" Karlamine agreed before the two of them blinked.

Sumire heard explosions and lightning as she stared up to see Akeno fighting with Riser's queen. They were both flying everywhere and they seemed to be at a stalemate.

[Sumire! In front of you!]

Sumire widened her eyes as she saw a masked lady punch her in the chest. The blow took her breath away as she hit the tree trunk in pain.

"You shouldn't be distracted in this battle. Red Dragon, I wish for us to fight!" The masked lady said as she cracked her knuckles.

"God damn what's with fighting and the Red Dragon!" Sumire looked up frustrated, "I'm just a normal high schooler!"

"One with a Longinus called the [Boosted Gear] holding the legendary Red Dragon-"

"What's with everyone and titles! Just say the name!!!" Sumire shouted in more frustration.

[Okay you can disrespect the chicken bird...BUT NOT ME!]

'It's just a title Ddraig." Sumire stumbled as she got up, the punch from the rook frazzled her for a bit.

[Really. Would you respect me if I was called Boob Dragon Emperor? Would you??!!]

'I guess not...'

[See the importance of titles?]

'Let's focus on this first.' Sumire said at the grumbling of Ddraig as the two focused on the masked lady in front of them.

"Isabella. Rook of Lord Riser. So are we going to fight or what?" Isabella yawned as she leaned to her side. Next to them, Karlamine was dueling with Kiba with the latter seemingly having the edge as Karlamine had wounds present around her extremities as Kiba has none.

"How are you so fast?" Karlamine panted as she failed to counter another quick slash from Kiba.

"I had a great teacher." Kiba smiled. Elsewhere in the real Student Office, Noct and the two vampires were cheering for the knight. Whistling for him to continue on, Noct was shouting how Kiba was making him proud not to mention the badmouthing of Karlamine from Jane and Alec. It surprised Issei as Jane and Alec who were normally quiet were actually quite active right now supporting their trainee.

"Is that so?" Karlamine took the opportunity and broke Kiba's sword before smirking and slashing up only to meet another sword.

"You have two sacred gears???" She yelled one surprise. She broke the second sword with her own as she looked at Kiba in triumph.

"What makes you think I have two sacred gears?" Kiba taunted as he summoned another blade much to Karlamines horror.

"THREE???" She shouted in surprise.

"Nope." Kiba blinked as he landed multiple cuts on the surprised and unprepared Karlamine.

"Gah!" Karlamine coughed up blood with more blood pouring from her arms and legs.

"I have one." Kiba aimed his sword at the ground before stabbing down, "Sword Birth!!!!"

Suddenly a plethora of swords were summoned around the small area he and Karlamine were as they erupted from the ground. Several swords stabbed all through out Karlamine who was bloody everywhere.

"I-impossible..." Karlamine coughed up blood one last time before her body began to fade.

"One of Lord Riser's Knights: Retired."

"Karlamine!" shouted several female voices as they witnessed their fellow knight get practically destroyed by Kiba who had now grabbed two of the swords that erupted from the ground.

Sumire met Isabella's punch with her own as a wave of pure energy was emitted when the two met. Isabella grunted before grabbing Sumire's arm and tossing her over. Sumire turned over only for Isabella to punch her in the guts. After the gut punch, Sumire barfed up today's breakfast only to get picked up by the hair.

"I'm rather disappointed." sighed Isabella before throwing the pawn. "I expected a challenge. Especially from a pawn of 8."

"A challenge? I'll give u a challenge!" Sumire panted before tossing her gauntlet.

[Dragon Shot!]

Isabella chuckled as she saw a small sphere of energy only to widen as the small sphere erupted into a large beam. Surprised at the attack Isabella tried to evade only for her left arm to get completely decimated.

"How's that for a challenge?" boasted Sumire as she slowly trotted over to one armed rook.

"I'm impressed." Isabella smirked, "But I'm not a rook for nothing!" Using her one arm she launched herself and a kick at Sumire who blocked it.

"Still so strong." The strength of the kick alone made her go a few feet back.

'Ddraig! Can I do another [Dragon Shot]? I don't know if I can hold out.' Sumire rolled to her side as Isabella tried to stomp at the pawn.

[No. Unfortunately, you need a few more boosts in order to summon a shot of that caliber.]

"Stop running and face me!" Isabella shouted at the fleeing Sumire.

"You have one arm and still want to fight???" Sumire screamed in response as Isabella was suddenly in front of her making her halt.

"In a Rating Game, no one can be killed. Injuries can be healed too!" Isabella let loose a punch at Sumire who ducked and swiped kicked making Isabella fall down. Using the falling to her advantage Isabella used her feet to hop herself back up and punch Sumire right in the face.

'Ddraig I need to do it now!'

[If you use [Dragon Shot] right now, you won't be able to enter Scale Mail. If not entering Scale Mail and defeating this rook is what you want, use [Dragon Shot] but it Scale Mail is to be used, don't.]

'Dammit. Can Kiba help me?' Sumire glanced over at the knight who was busy trying to fend off multiple pieces at once.

"Distraction will cost you Red Dragon!" Isabella yelled as she head butted Sumire in the stomach.

"Argh!" Sumire bent down in pain as Isabella stood before her.

"What's your name Red Dragon?" asked Isabella.

"Sumire." Sumire responded as she slowly and painfully got up.

"Su-" Isabella was suddenly blasted in the back. Sumire looked in shock as she traced the blast back to Akeno. Akeno smiled down at the pawn.

"Are you ok Sumire?" Akeno asked as she prepared to launch a retiring blast at the rook. Suddenly Akeno herself was shot from the sky as Yubelluna was seen above her panting in exhaustion.

"Priestess of Thunder!" Yubelluna yelled as she sent another explosion at Akeno who flew up just in time to avoid it. However the explosion radius was huge as Sumire was sent flying back. Isabella however was too close as her body was seen fading. Before fully fading, she nodded at Sumire.

"It was a fun-"

"Last of Lord Riser's Rooks: Retired."

"Oh my, taking out your own piece? Quite naughty." Akeno taunted.

"Just collateral damage. Taking out the small ones to catch the big one. Nothing else." Yubelluna smirked before the two queens took off into the skies once more.

While the two were flying around, Akeno was sending quick zaps of lightning at the pursuing Queen. Yubelluna was hit by most as she stopped flying in frustration.

"Enough!" Yubelluna raised her scepter, "This is the end!"

"Fair enough!" Akeno agreed as she created one of her strongest lightning spells.

While Yubelluna was casting her spell, Akeno was moving her arms in a circular motion as she moved them across her body. The lightning streaked across her from her fingertips as more power and speed was seen.

*In the Student Council Office*

"That's!" Marina shouted.

"Isn't that what you guys were working on the most? You told me that this would show Akeno's mastery over her power." Issei asked which Marina confirmed with a nod.

"I can't believe she's actually going to use it for the first time here. If it pulls off I'll be impressed as it's nearly on the level of us." Marina admitted much to everyone's shock. Sona was the most shocked one of them all as her eyes peered back at the screen.

'I really need them to train us.' Sona sighed to herself.

*Back to the Rating Game*

Akeno finished her arm movements as lightning was seen all throughout her body. She suddenly shot her arms forward at Yubelluna making the lightning attack Yubelluna head on. The area they were fighting in erupted in light as Akeno's attack hit the unprepared Yubelluna who was still in midst of casting her strongest spell.

"AHHHHHH!" Yubelluna screamed in pain as she was being electrocuted pretty badly by the attack. Akeno didn't let loose as lightning was still seen being sent at the poor opponent Queen.

Eventually the attack stopped as Yubelluna fell down. She wasn't quite retired yet, only moments towards it. Akeno panted in exhaustion, that lightning attack she generated, took much of her energy.

"It's not...over!" Yubelluna shouted in exasperation as she pulled out a vial.

"Phoenix Tear!" Akeno widened her eyes in shock as Yubelluna smirked.

"Game...Over!" Yubelluna smirked before attempting to drink the vial.

"Not so fast!" Akeno shouted before quickly shooting a lightning blast at the queen's hand. The vial was shot from her hand as Yubelluna widened her eyes at how she was going to lose the battle.

"N..n..NOOOOO!" She screamed as she tried to catch the vial but Akeno was much faster. She quickly caught the falling vial and turned around to meet a defeated Yubelluna.

"Thanks. I'm sure this will become useful." Akeno smiled before sending a quick lightning bolt at Yubelluna who cried out in pain before beginning to fade.

"Lord Riser's Queen: Retired." Though Grayfia tried to sound as neutral as possible but hints of surprise and happiness squeezed through. Now Lady Rias might actually win much to her own delight.

*With Kiba*

"Lord Riser's Queen: Retired."

"What?!" shouted Ravel Phenex as her and four other pieces looked surprised.

"Yubelluna...defeated? Impossible..." stuttered Mihae.

"Well uh...take out that knight Ni and Li!" Ravel suddenly ordered as she looked back at Kiba fighting Siris. 'I can't believe after a simple ten day training by Issei Hyoudou,' Her face lit up as she blushed, 'Cute by the way. No! I am a noble Phenex! No matter hw trained our enemy he isn't our enemy...maybe...'

"Lady Ravel?" softly spoke Mihae who looked concerned of her fellow bishop. Ravel didn't hear her as she fantasized her marrying Issei Hyoudou, giggling and covering her face as the thoughts plagued her mind. Mihae was confused at this due to the fact that there was fighting only a few feet from them.

Siris was getting frustrated. Very frustrated. Every sword she cut in half, Kiba simply grabbed it from the ground. What's worse was his speed. It outclassed her! An experienced fighter!

"ARGHHHHH!" Siris swung her zweihänder around breaking two of Kiba's swords. And again Kiba jumped back and grabbed two more swords.

"Siris!" shouted Ni.

"What do we do?" added Li.

Siris looked at the two before telling them to destroy the many swords Kiba had. The two pawns glanced at each other before nodding. They were about to blast a couple of swords to pieces when Sumire suddenly pinched Ni in the face.

"Niiii!" shouted Li as she glared at Sumire.

"Hi!" Sumire bent down in exhaustion panting. Her stomach was hurting mainly because of Isabella. "Just...just give me a second."

"Sister. It seems we can have some fun with this little pawn." purred a annoyed Ni.

"How should we proceeddd?" purred Li as the two surrounded a panting and tired as hell Sumire.

"Sumire!" Kiba glanced over to see the two pawns surrounding and about to prance at Sumire. He tsked in annoyance before raising his arms. Before he could aim, his attention was cut short by Siris quite literally as his two swords were again destroyed. He picked up two more swords much to Siris' continued frustration.

Sumire looked up and saw how Kiba was able to send an array of swords her way with effectively blocked the two sisters from attacking her, a barrier of sorts. She picked the closest one to her, a simple flaming blade, as she painfully went back to standing.

"Toothpicks sister!" Li growled as she punched some swords aside with ki.

"I hate...toothpicks!" Ni blasted some of the swords into pieces with ki.

"Well...fucking deal with it!" Sumire yelled before charging recklessly at the two. To her credit, she practically had no energy left to think and so she charged.

Ni saw the reckless charge and only pushed Sumire as she stepped to the side, "Monkey in the middle!"

"Yay!!!" cried out Li as she pushed Sumire back at her sister.

Sumire was too tired and couldn't focus on who to strike which made her surrender her body to the forces of Ni and Li.

"Finish her Ni and Li!" shouted Ravel who thanks to Mihae was able to concentrate back on the game.

"Yes my lady!" joyfully yelled both Ni and Li as they both stepped back and aimed both of their punched together at Sumire.

[Now!]

'Gotcha.' Sumire slowly lifted up her hand. 'Take this!'

[Transfer!]

Sumire transferred her power into the flaming sword before lifting it in a striking motion. The result was a fire wave that quickly travelled and burned the two pawns to a crisp.

"Last of Lord Riser's Pawns: Retired."

"Whew." Sumire fell down backwards tired. 'Time to sleep!'

[You did good. But is this really all you got? After all that training and you're going to retire yourself because of tiredness?]

'You're right Ddraig. But, I don't have Scale Mail anymore. I'm useless now.'

[Thats not true. If need be, you can always give me a part of yourself to hold some of the power.]

'You're funny Ddraig. The day that happens...well it'll never happen.' Sumire groaned as she stood back up just in time to see Kiba making Siris retreat.

Kiba pressed on his attacks as with every blade Siris blocked and broke, he simply attacked with his other blade and summoned more blades. It got to the point where Siris was forced to kneel from the barrage of endless blades. Siris glared as she gave one last attempt to stand her ground, she cleaved her blade breaking one of Kiba's blade as well as making him stumble a bit. However, Kiba took this as an advantage as with his other sword, he stabbed it into the ground. Siris looked in confusion before suddenly realizing a bit too late. She tried to roll to her side but a sword suddenly erupted from the ground implying her in the stomach.

"Last of Lord Riser's Knights: Retired."

"No!!!" Ravel shouted as she and Mihae stepped back scared of the knight. But it was no hope as Mihae was blasted with lightning from Akeno.

"One of Lord Riser's Bishops: Retired."

"Akeno!" smiled Kiba at the arrival of their queen.

"Wait. Why isn't she retired?" asked Sumire who was still laying down on the ground.

"Lady Ravel is not a battle piece and as such she is not to be touched. Lord Riser is the last standing combat piece of his peerage." Grayfia spoke from the loudspeaker.

"Oh." said Sumire.

"Guys! Great job!" Rias shouted as she and Asia stepped out of the clearing. "Now let's take care of that bird!"

"Not if Riser takes out the five of you right now!" Riser was seen atop of a building as he stared down cockily at the peerage.

Rias glared back at the Phenex, "It's us against only you. I think it favors us!" She turned and signaled Akeno who nodded as they both launched magic attacks at the king. The result was an explosion that Riser himself did not dodge.

"You forget! Riser has the power of the ultimate Phenex, he can not lose!" Riser raised his hands as his injuries from the explosion healed making him go back to his pre injured state.

"You're wrong!" shouted Rias before turning back to her peerage, "Issei told me that to defeat a Phenex, either destroy it completely or send in as much damage as possible so that they can't regenerate it as fast or the third way is to destroy its mental state. We're going to try to dish out all our damage and retire him! Concentrate everything you guys have and send it at him!"

Everyone nodded as they prepared themselves. Kiba summoned hard as he summoned one of his most powerful swords he could ever summon. He summoned another as he held both swords.

'I can't enter Scale Mail! I don't even have enough boosts for [Dragon Shot!]' worriedly thought Sumire.

[Offer is still up partner. I can take your arm and you will be able to hold Scale Mail for a solid minute.]

'I thought you were joking!' Sumire contemplated on whether to go through with it or not but her thinking cost her as the three, Rias, Akeno, and Kiba launched their attacks at an open armed Riser.

The king and queen launched a series of devastating thunder of P.o.D. as Kiba struck behind Riser with his two blades. Smoke was seen as Sumire eyes filled with hope that maybe just maybe, they did it. Suddenly the smoke erupted into flames sending them back.

Sumire's eyes widened, "Kiba!" Kiba wasn't present with them making Rias snap her head back at Riser who looked triumphant at them. And there Kiba was. Riser held him by the neck but it didn't even look like Kiba. His entire body was burned with no skin present. Still smirking, Riser threw the poor burned knight above Rias and down behind her as he began to fade.

"R-R..." Kiba attempted to voice his master's name but couldn't as he completely faded away.

"Lady Rias' Knight: Retired."

"Heh." Riser jumped from his location down at the remaining peerage, "Guess its Riser's turn to attack."

With one flick of his hand, he sent a flurry of flames rushing at Akeno who tried to counter with her lightning. The flames seemingly ate the lightning up to her horror as they engulfed her burning her to a crisp. The flames died out showing a barely recognizable Akeno.

"Riser didn't want to hurt such a nice body. But Riser will do what he must." He smirked but it began to falter as a vial was seen on Akeno's hand. "Take as many Phoenix Tears as you want! It will not save you!"

Riser punched a torrent of flames forward at Akeno who couldn't use the tear in time which effectively took her out of the game. The vial was still seen in her hands as her crisp and burned body faded away.

"Lady Rias' Queen: Retired."

"You will pay Riser! YOU WILL PAY!" screamed Rias. Her entire body was enveloped in a red aura as she began to float from the ground.

"How weak." tainted the Phenex who flared his aura as the two auras met causing massive energy bursts to occur.

'Ddraig! I'll do it! I have to stop Riser!' Sumire said as she got up ready to take Riser on.

[You have only one minute Partner!]

Sumire's eyes blowed green before she herself began to float as a green aura surrounded her.

[Welsh Dragon Scale Mail!]

Sumire was surrounded in her red armor as Ddraig began to count down from one minute.

[This wil give you a boost in stamina and energy. However after the one minute you will retire.]

"Asia! Stay back!" commanded Rias as she and Sumire stood next to each other facing a smirking Riser. Asia nodded as she ran away from the three fighting.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Riser shouted as he sent a ball of fire aimed right at the unsuspecting Asia. Rias saw this and countered the attack with her own magic.

"Your fight is with us!" Rias shouted making Riser laugh.

"You're weak." Much to Rias' own shock and horror, Riser's ball of fire shot past and destroyed her own magic ball as it only got bigger. It's heat scorched the ground leaving the grassy area in flames and the nearby trees began to catch on fire.

"ASIA! RETIRE!" Rias yelled at the fleeing bishop who turned and became white at the incoming fire ball.

"I-I re-" She was hit by the fire ball as she too, like Akeno and Kiba, was burnt to the point that she was unrecognizable.

"Lady Rias' Bishop: Retired."

"ASIAAA!" Rias and Sumire both cried out in horror before turning around and staring at Riser in hatred.

"Fighting Riser's future fiancée and the Red Dragon Emperor will be fun for Riser!" Riser smirked as he summoned more fireballs.

"You're going down!" Rias cried out as orbs of Destruction were summoned all around her.

"You bitch!" Sumire seethed energy as her lenses glowed a shade of green.

Rias summoned multiple orbs of destruction and creating a ring around her before launching them all at Riser who simply used his flaming hands to smack them away. Sumire leapt next to Riser and landed a solid hit to Riser's face.

"Take this!" She sent an uppercut at Riser who responded by punching Sumire. "GARGHH!" Sumire shouted as her stomach was being burned by Riser's flames.

"What a weak Emperor." Riser kicked Sumire back down at the ground only to get hit by Rias and her magic.

"RIISERRRR!!!" Rias shot blast after blast of destruction at the Phenex but Riser simply just laughed. Every blast that destroyed his body was simply negated through his regeneration.

'Lord Belphegor has given me this upgrade in power. I shall not fail my Devil King.' Riser smirked before shooting a pillar of flames at the incoming spheres. Though there was an explosion the flames shot past Rias' attack. Rias quickly jumped out of the way as the flames engulfed the area she was in.

[Partner! You use it now!]

[Dragon Shot!]

Sumire shot the attack straight at Riser's face absolutely pulverizing it leaving him a headless devil. However like with Rias, Riser simply regenerated his head back and his face was more angry.

"Riser has had enough of your games." He glared at the two before flying and diving at Sumire. He was encased in fire and Sumire tried to block it but the force from Riser was too strong, breaking her armor and leaving her defenseless. Leaning above the poor pawn, he slapped the many orbs from Rias away as he picked up Sumire by the head.

"LET HER GO RISER!" Rias cried out as she stepped closer to Riser with her magic.

"Riser will destroy this pawn. Maybe even kill her!" Riser laughed out as Sumire was struggling to move. She had no more stamina making her subjected to Riser's will.

"LET HER GO!" Rias cried out before sending the hugest and strongest orb of destruction she could muster and sent it at Riser.

The result was a huge explosion that created a crater with no one present and Rias breathed heavily before smiling a bit when she heard Grayfia.

"Lady Rias' Pawn: Retired. Lady Rias is the last standing piece in her peerage." Grayfia spoke which made Rias widen her eyes in horror.

"HAHAHAHA! You took out your own pawn! GOOD JOB!" Riser laughed above Rias as she looked on in horror at what she had just done.

"N-no..." Rias yelled in shock running towards the crater to hopelessly find Sumire, "I WOULD NEVER HURT MY SERVANTS! Sumire! You're here! Come on where are you?" She searched and looked around aimlessly for her pawn to no avail, tears began to form from her eyes and began to drip onto the ground.

"You're mine Rias! Never forget that!" Riser smirked before launching flames at Rias.

"Lady Rias has retired. Lord Riser wins!" Hearing this, Riser smirked before walking to his sister.

"Brother! You did it!" Ravel cheered as she went to hug her brother.

"Riser always wins." He smirked, "Now let's prepare for my wedding."

*In the Student Council Office*

"I guess that's it." Issei sighed after hearing the announcement.

"No..." Marina widened her eyes in shock at the events, "Rias doesn't deserve this..."

"This is fucking bullshit!" Noct yelled standing up in anger.

"They don't deserve this..." Marina continued as she starred at the desk in shock.

Everyone else was in shock at how the game ended. Riser had completely destroyed Rias and he was barely tired or injured.

'That doesn't really seem right...'

'Yeah Nebula. His power shouldn't have been this high even after heavy training. Something's fishy.' Issei mentally said before speaking up, "Guys let's go."

"Go where?" asked Marina.

"We're going to meet Rias and her peerage." Issei said making everyone in his peerage look up at their king, "Take care Sona. We'll be leaving now."

Sona only nodded as she played the game back in her head to see if Rias could've beat Riser in a different way.

"Let's go." said Issei as he and his peerage disappeared in a magic circle.

*Somewhere in Kuoh*

A yellow barrier was seen encasing a small dragon made out of water as a hand was queened making the barrier grow tighter and tighter eventually destroying the dragon making it dissolve back into water.

"How's that?" Arlo asked.

"Good. You're improving." said a familiar voice.

"You said my friends had powers too. Should we go get them?"

"In due time Arlo. In due time." The voice could be heard smirking, "The plan is coming perfectly together."

A/N: And that's it for Chapter 17! I tried to stray away from the Anime's fight and tried to make my own original one. Some elements are taken from the anime but I hope it was unique! Hope you guys enjoyed it and don't forget to review!
