A/N: Chapter 19! While writing this chapter, the app basically changed. Again. I don't know why lol. Every month it changes I think. I'm not a veteran of this app so this is all new to me. And for some reason bold doesn't save. Sorry! This chapter will have no bolds sadly. It simply doesn't save!

Well anyways, im splitting the battle into two parts. It feels better for me and hopefully better for you. Besides in the anime, Issei has his own single episode so why not draw some more inspiration? Enjoy reading this! All character rights are reserved and given to their respective authors. This is a work of fanfiction!

Issei and his peerage split up, going with their groups as they ventured out in the arena.

"Riser will probably employ the same strategy he used against Rias." Was the statement going across everyone in his peerage's head.

Marina and her group which included of John, Seraphina, and the two vampires, were in the gym waiting for Xuelan, Mira, and the two chainsaw kids. The four appeared soon making the two groups look at each other, sizing each other up.

"Three of Lord Riser's Pawns: Retired." The voice of Grayfia echoed through the gym which surprised the people in Riser's peerage.

With Noct*

"Hot chicks always talk so much." He sighed before walking away from the fading pawns. The moment the three appeared in front of him, they began taunting him and talking about butlers making Noct annoyed and rush at them. And the result was an instant retiring from the pawns.

Observing this was Kiba who was in awe of Noct's speed. It was fast, too fast for him to even see and he was a knight. To him, the pawns were talking then they were gone. It made his attack on him comparable to that of a sloth to a cheetah.

"Who's next?" Noct amused himself placing his scythe above his shoulder as he continued his stroll through the forest.

Back to Marina*

Smirking at the gobsmacked expression on her opponents face, she glanced and nodded at John before instantly lifting the four up. Nle, Lle, and Mira widened their eyes before they disappeared.

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

John had copied Noct's scythe, with the shadows around the arena, he managed to cause the scythe to lengthen and exude shadow energy before he slashed through the three pawns quite easily. Landing down, he let out a sigh as he realized how easy this was going to be. Marina still had Xuelan in her grasp, she eyed the terrified rook before simply tossing her to the bleachers.

Xuelan was laying down, terrified out of her mind, staring at the five in front of her. She gulped and ran for it only to fall down in pain, screaming.

Jane stared at the poor rook who was writhing around like a worm in a scorching sun. The spectators watching this marveled and were slightly in fear of Jane. They all heard of her legendary gift and never saw it in person. Seeing this in person made them realize how dangerous Issei's peerage was and Lord Phenex himself gulped, thinking he had enraged a monster.

"Please!" Xuelan screamed in pain, her body contorted into weird shapes as the searing burn continued to coarse through her body and back. "It burns!!!"

It was quite ironic due to her being in the Phenex clan that she was to be burning right now. Nonetheless, Marina smiled and signaled for Jane to stop. Xuelan gasped for breath relieved that the pain was over only to gasp again when she was lifted and slammed down with such force it made her black out.

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

Alec stood over looking the fading rook. One may have forgot to mention that Vampires were insanely powerful physically and being recruited into Issei's peerage only made them stronger. Alone, they were as fast as a knight and as strong as a rook, in Issei's peerage, practically invincible.

"Alright, gym secured." said Marina.

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

"And Noct's having way more fun then us." Marina scoffed as she left the gym with her group.

"This is lightwork compared to Tiamat. I'll rather do this then be trained by her." said John making Seraphina nod in agreement. Watching this was Tiamat herself who began to chuckle darkly at her students. Sensing something was off, John and Seraphina stared at each other.

"You had to say it John..."

"Sorry..."

With Noct*

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

"Huh? That was a knight?" Noct blinked staring at the fading body of Karlamine. "Eh, might explain why she asked me to teach her and why she had a sword. Hm, I guess Kiba may have told her about me." At the end of the sentence, he gave a dark grin up at the spectators and mainly at Kiba who began to sweat, "Watch our trainee."

Some of the attending Devils glanced at the sweating knight. They began to think to themselves that if someone like Noct made a newbie Knight like Kiba defeat two of the finest knights of Riser Phenex in the Rating Games, then how will Noct impact their peerage. Thoughts of attaining the shadow used began to fly through their minds as they greedily looked back at the screens.

Noct quickly shadowstepped dodging a strike from Siris.

"You're the teacher that taught that Gremory Knight!" shouted an angry Siris holding her Zweihänder.

"Did he really tell everyone about me?!" Noct covered his face with his hands sighing to himself.

"He never mentioned your name. Only that he had a great teacher." Siris glared at the shadow user who smirked up.

"Well played Kiba. Well played." Noct quickly shadowstepped again. Kiba who heard Noct sighed in relief making those in his peerage laugh at him.

"Stop running!" Siris shouted in anger, eyeing all around her where Noct could have went.

"I'm not running." Noct voiced behind her making Siris turn swinging.

"I'm here!" Siris turned again at the trees to see Noct shadow step again.

"Here!" Siris turned again to see Noct shadowstep away from her.

"STOP RUNNING!" Siris had enough swinging her Zweihänder all around her.

"Boo!" Noct said behind her making her swing with such force it created a force of wind travel and displace the grass. Siris huffed, tired of constantly turning around and striking nothing. She let out a sharp breath and Noct's scythe pierced her stomach, the edge of the metal seen on the other side of her stomach. Noct was behind her holding his scythe behind him as he pulled his scythe forward sending her in front of him. He took the scythe out making blood pour out of Siris. He gave the knight a wink.

"Ta ta." With a final wave at the fading knight, he turned and whistled to himself.

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

"Well then, what now?" Noct sighed in boredom. He had just defeated the two knights in Riser's peerage and didn't know what to do. Kiba looked at this in admiration as he hoped to achieve what Noct did right now. No even more. The Gremory Knight stared down at his hands, making them into fists, determined to do better and improve.

"You! How?!" Shouted a new voice. Noct raised his eyebrows sighing as he faced the owner of the voice. He sighed even more as what he saw was a little blonde chick, quite literally since he believed her to be Riser's little sister.

"And who are you?"

The nose of Ravel flurred in annoyance, "Y-you!!! Take him out!"

Two cat girls, Ni and Li nodded and glared at a bored Noct who began to lean on his scythe. The two nekomatas ran at the shadow knight, their fists about to connect at both of Noct's cheeks.

"RARGHHHH!"

Noct shadowstepped and in came Raviel in his monster form as he charged forward and held the two nekomatas by the head, slamming them into the wall. He gave a final roar.

"ROARRRRRR!"

Before stomping at the bloody pawns retiring them straight out of the game.

"Last of Lord Riser's Pawns: Retired." Gasps were shared amongst the audience at the new member, no monster of Issei's peerage.

"Raviel..." Konkeo whispered and widened her eyes at the full form of Raviel. Rias widened her eyes along with her peerage.

"Thats him???" Rias couldnt believe it. A 12 year old is this towering muscular monster? It was scary to the Gremory Peerage as to how much of a handicap their trainers were giving them. Then it occured to them that they weren't even trying here. (A/N: Raviel's Monster Form is taken after Doomsday.)

Back in the Rating Game Arena, Ravel was stuttering and shaking as the monster known as Raviel stared at her.

"At ease Raviel." Issei entered the clearing, hands in his pockets. Noct shadowstepped with his sycthe in hand standing to the right of his king. Issei looked to his left and out came Marina and her group. Raviel roared and jumped up, landing right behind Issei and everyone as he gave another roar into the skies.

Ravel was shaking even more at the reveal of Issei and his uninjured peerage. Mihae, the bishop standing next to Ravel, glanced at Ravel as they both stared at the smiling peerage of Issei. Isabella was the only other rook that wasn't retired walking forward, cracking her knuckles.

"Well I rather retire by my own will. I challenge one of you to a fight." She pointed specfically at Issei who grinned at the rook.

"Perfect." Issei withdrawed his spear as he cracked his own knuckles.

'This is the perfect chance for you to test yourself using cosmic energy with only your fists!' suggested Nebula.

'What was I thinking.' Issei took a few paces forward to meet Isabella. The two walked in circled with the same distance between them. Isabella growled tired of no action as she launched herself.

Issei readied himself before quickly stepping away from the launched rook. He dodged a fist and jumped from a low kick. He landed and moved his head to the left to evade a quick punch from Isabella. Issei gave a coy smile at Isabella who widened her eyes. In the moment of attacking Issei, she had left herself vunerable. She quickly withdrew her punch but it was too late.

With cosmic inbewed fists, Issei landed a straight punch at Isabella's stomach as cosmic energy flared burning the rook. It didn't help that her abdomen area had no armor or clothes to even offer slight protection. Isabella coughed falling down as she couldnt fell anything lower from the punch. It shocked her that a single punch from Issei was able to disable her.

"S..." Isabella bent down holding her flamed stomach, "Strong..." She fell down as she began to fade.

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

'Yikes...too much?'

'You think?' Nebula sighed.

"I-isbaella..." Ravel stepped back with fear at the basically one shot from Issei.

"Ravel was it?" Issei smiled stepping up.

"S-stay away!" She cried out. Mihae gritted her teeth before sending a magic blast at Issei.

Only for to stop making Ravel confused as she stared at the frozen pawn as she hesitantly stared back at the peerage to see another member, Seraphina, focusing, lifting her hands.

Members of the audience ooed as Seraphina demostrated her time powers. Those in Rias' peerage who didn't really know Seraphina which was all of them were surprised as they never really got to meet her and see her power at work.

"Good job Seraphina." Issei glanced back at the smiling pawn before signaling for Noct.

"Last of Lord Riser's Bishops: Retired." Noct was seen behind a fading Mihae scythe in hand, kneeling, before dissolving his scythe into shadows. Then they all felt it.

The surge in power.

"Lord Riser's Queen: Retired."

With Vali*

The two queens had met since the beginning of the game. Vali wasn't really attacking Yubelluna who was trying to land strong hits on the former. The only thing Vali did was land a small touch on Yubelluna which confused her and then she realized.

(Divide!)

Another of Yubelluna's bomb attacks shrinked into that of a fly as it barely even caused a mini explosion.

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

"Look at that." Vali smiled as she wasn't even in balance breaker yet. She did have her wings out and it shined throughout their one-sided engagement.

"They're just pawns." Yubelluna smirked before sending another bomb.

"We'll see." Vali flew up making the bomb hit some other area.

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

"Why aren't you attacking?" asked Yubelluna hoping to find an opening. She was also slightly surprised that six pawns were defeated this quick. She shook her head reminding herself that pawns were weak.

"Why should I?" Vali looked down at Yubelluna who lifted her sceptor higher making her fly up to Vali's height.

"Then how will you defeat me?" Yubelluna spun around sending multiple small bombs at Vali. The result was multiple explosions which she smiled at. Thise small bombs were one of her secret weapons. Each of them were basically heavy condensed devil power and multiple of them would even injure an Ultimate Class Devil. Her smile grew wider as she heard Grayfia's voice thinking to herself how this Devil Liaison and his peerage were weak.

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

"What?!" Yubelluna yelled as she sent another set of bombs at the area where Vali was.

"Cmon. I'm not a Queen for nothing." Vali cleared the smoke before sending white orbs of magic at Yubelluna. She tried to counter with her bombs but they were seemingly absorbed into the orbs which forced her to fly away from them.

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

Yubelluna let out a breath, "How are they falling so fast?"

"Why are you running?" Taunted Vali as she sent more magic orbs at Yubelluna.

"Tsk." Yubelluna sent more attacks at Vali who simply either countered with her magic or dodged them. It took a few more moments for Yubelluna to realize that she was being played.

"Start trying!" Yubelluna growled raising her arms and sending huge bombs at Vali.

"Nah. This is fun." Vali smirked before dividing the bombs away.

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

"Damn, your peerage isn't even putting up a fight." This made Yubelluna grit her teeth in frustration.

'How are they not even taking out any pieces? Hell not even a pawn?' Yubelluna was suddenly blasted downwards at the gym breaking the ceiling as she landed on the hard shiny yellow floor. She didn't want to admit it but she was slowly and surely feeling it. Fear.

"There, a small taste." Vali floated above the fallen queen before sending more attacks.

Yubelluna was now on the defensive, forced to dodge to Vali's whims. She was bascially now under Vali's control, her movements determined by where and when Vali was attacking.

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

Then Yubelluna heard it. That monstrous roar that made her weak to the bones, the fear that began to build up was unleashed as she looked at the flying Vali.

"You're monsters!" She cried out.

"Well we only have one." Vali shrugged her shoulders before continung her onslaught

Yubelluna panted and tried to fly away.

"Not that easy!" Vali smirked, quickly blinking in front of the scared queen, she grabbed her legs and tossed her back down on the floor. Sighing, Vali sent a flurry of blasts down at the queen leaving her motionless but not fading.

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

Yubelluna turned around, Phoenix tear in hand, as she took in the last announcement from Grayfia. She quickly drank it and felt its effects instantly, her many wounds were quickly gone as she felt better and stood up.

"Thats handy." commented Vali as she waited for Yubelluna to fly up.

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

Yubelluna ignored it as she glared at Vali.

"Oooo. How exciting!" Vali smiled waiting for the attack with open arms.

Yubelluna grew angry at the disrespect. She was the Bomb Queen! And she deserved respect!!

"ARGHHH!!!" She launched her strongest attack. She infused the rest of her magic into the attack. She didn't care about defeating the rest of Issei's peerage or Issei himself, she only cared about defeating Vali. She only gogled and laughed crazily as the attack landed. Vali was a fool! Even as a Queen, that attack should've retried her. Right?

(Vanishing Dragon Balance Breaker!)

No. She was too powerful. Yubelluna fell from the skies as waves of power rushed at her. It was annoying for someone like her. She wasn't defeated by an attack. Hell it was her pride that cost her. She used everything on that last attack. As she was falling down, she stared at the amazing spectacle that was Vali. The white armor that covered her entire body. The blue jewels and gems that were present throughout the armor only made it look more...beautiful. It was sleek. Perfect one could say. The wings glowed an azure blue, making it the perfect addtional touch to the armor. It was simply Heavenly.

The blue visors that held Vali's eyes stared at the falling Queen. Yubelluna smiled to herself.

"Some are just luckier..." She gave a sigh to herself before fading.

"Lord Riser's Queen: Retired." Gasps of amazement were heard. Whispers about the appearance of the armor of the legendary Dragon armor were heard.

Many were beginning to think anout how to ally themselves of Issei's caliber. Every member in his peerage was a powerful surprise. Now the only though that coursed through everyone's mind even of those in Rias and her peerage was: How strong was Issei Hyoudou?

A/N: Next chapter is Chapter 20! No duh right? :)) And sorry for any of the confusion that might've occured due to the story not being able to be saved with any bolding!

It'll show the showdown between Riser and Issei. Who do you think will retire? If anyone will? Will it be a slaughter? Till then my readers!

Don't forget to review as I read them to try to improve my story!
