At the Occult Research Club room, Issei, Asia, Koneko, Kiba, Akeno, and Xenovia were all standing across from Rias who was sitting on their signature red and gold trim couch with Riser sitting next to her. What had irritated Issei the most was that Riser was making inappropriate advances to Rias, slowly placing his arm around her shoulder.

"Ara, about this marriage.~" Said Akeno trying to break the silence in the room. Riser then had placed his right leg over his left and took a deep breath.

"To preserve the pure-blood line of Devils, the house of Phoenix and Gremory had both agreed to the marriage between I, and the beautiful Rias Gremory here." Riser then had softly place some of Rias's hair in his hand. "What is this your pieces? Two Knights, a queen, bishop, rook and one measly pawn? It's almost comical looking at this?"

"Your point?" Asked an annoyed Rias.

"Let me show you how a crew is suppose to be." Said Riser as he snapped his finger. Behind him, his family seal scorched the wall as a circle of flames appeared on the floor, and Issei had seen Riser's Rating Game team which is doubled the size of Rias's. Riser had smirked as he got up from the couch and made his way over to his queen, Yubelluna. He softly placed his hand on her face, causing her body to shiver at his touch as he brought his lips to hers, playing with each other's tongues.

"BOOST!" Issei nearly blew the cap off his anger at the sight of Riser tonguing down someone else but claims he's married to Rias.

"Issei-kun don't!" Akeno tried to reason with him but couldn't as he lunged towards Riser. In response, Riser just simply snapped his fingers once more, which his pawn Mira had quickly thrusted her wooden staff into Issei's stomach with so much force it caused him to cough up spit and she kicked him in the face which sent him flying back into the wall.

"Issei!" Rias tried to get up and rush to her pawn's side but couldn't as she could feel Riser grab her wrist. "Let me go! There isn't anyway I would marry a creep like you!"

"Oh? Even though your brother was the one who allowed the union?" Asked Riser

"He what?!" Rias then had felt Riser gently touch her chin and lift it up.

"Tell you what, since I am somewhat a fair Devil, how about we settle things with a Rating Game? If you win, the marriage is off but if I win, your friends have to attend our wedding night in the underworld."

*I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE MENTIONED ANIME NOR ITS CHARACTERS*

Speech: "Home is where the heart is."

Thoughts: 'Can i really go through with this?'

Whispering: "I will do anything and everything I can do to help."


Beyond The Wings Of Fate


Aura Of A Dragon And Warrior

"Congratulations Antonio!" Said Musubi as Antonio came back home. Antonio then had felt Benitsubasa embraced him in a tight hug which made him smile and pat him on the head. Benitsubasa dug her head into his chest but had noticed his mom going through her iPhone.

"You rocked out there today!" Said Mizuki as she showed Antonio a picture of him and Koneko and Antonio demolishing the wall of ice that Tohsaka conjured in front of them. "Just imagine my grandbabies being that strong, conjuring up elements and… OW!" Mizuki felt Antonio flicking her on the forehead then had seen Yume approaching him.

"Did you feel anything weird during the race?" Asked Yume, putting all eyes on him.

"No, I felt ok, although. Getting towards the end, all I can remember was that I really wanted to win, then I suddenly felt myself getting faster and stronger." Replied Antonio.

"Still kind of hard to believe that those humans have those kind of abilities." Said Saki "Speaking of which how come I didn't get any screen time last chapter! I'm everybodies favorite!"

"Wait what?" Said Antonio

"They weren't." Said Miya catching everyone's attention "The girl, along with the rest of her group, they aren't human."

"Then what are they?" Asked Kagari

"The cat girl was so adorable!~" Said Kazehana "Kind of makes me wish we had our own pet. Oh well, we will see you when you return home my love." As his group of Sekirei and Mom returned to their homes, Antonio sighed while having a smile on his face. As he folded his arms, he felt something on the inside of his coat pocket.

'Huh what's this?' Antonio thought to himself.

"Antonio!" Antonio had turned around, leaving the hidden Item in his coat pocket along as he had seen Chiho waking up to him. "You did awesome out there! Seriously." Said Chiho, causing Antonio to smile and scratch the back of his head. "Oh! Antonio, This is Katsura-san, she's one of my new friends."

'F-Friends? The only friends I thought I had w-was..'

"Well." Kotonoha was snapped out of her thought. "Any friend of Chiho is a friend of mine. My name is Kanzaki Antonio, hajimemashite."

"M-My name is Katsura Kotonoha." Said Kotonoha as they both had bowed to each other, while doing so, Kotonoha couldn't help but smile at the thought of her gaining two new friends, she wasn't as naive as she used to be before she moved.

"Oh, Kotonoha, speaking of, we should hang out tomorrow, what's your number?" Asked Chiho as the two were walking out of the stadium. Antonio made it to his car and as soon as he was inside, he closed the door, and took out the unknown item out of his inside jacket pocket.

'A letter?' Antonio was curious enough to open it, but when he did he couldn't recognize the handwriting.

*****Momoyo's Flashback*****

"How do you get someone to notice your feelings?" Asked Momoyo to Mayuuchi.

"Hmm, well it depends on who it is."

"Knowing how much you scare off men I thought that you liked a gi.." Matsukaze was face to face with Momoyo

"Say anything else, I'll reduce you to dust." Said Momoyo which caused Matsukaze to sweat bullets.

"Mind if I ask who it is you are trying to get your feelings across to Momo-senpai?" Asked Mayuuchi, which caused Momoyo to blush lightly. She was to embarrassed to say it, so she looked around to make sure nobody had heard her and she leaned in and whispered in Mayuuchi's ear.

"I-It's Antonio."

"Eh? Ehhhhh..!?" Momoyo clamped her hand over Mayuuchi's mouth

"Don't say it out loud!" Said a flustered Momoyo "I-I just need in what to say." Momoyo then had felt Mayuuchi moving her hand away from her mouth.

"Gomen Momo-senpai, I don't think I can help you there."

"Why not!?" Replied Momoyo with a blush on her face as she had seen Matsukaze mount Mayuuchi's shoulder.

"Because if they were to be someone else's words, then it wouldn't be as sincere if Antonio knew someone else had written that for you." Said Mayuuchi. Later that night in Momoyo's room, she was sitting at her table wearing nothing but a black bra and shorts with a lamp on, facing in front of her was a empty piece of paper and a black pen.

'Sincere huh?' Momoyo thought to herself before scratching her head furiously 'This is so damn frustrating!' Momoyo then had stopped for a moment to place her right hand over her chest. 'From the heart..' At that moment, she went to writing.

" From the Moment I met you, I thought you were just some ordinary person for me to boss around. At the time I believed everyone in the world was weaker than me, including you. Whenever I would see you get dropped off by who seemed to be your mom, deep down inside, I was happy to see you, truly I was. At that moment I didn't know what liking someone meant, and If I told someone then, they probably wouldn't believe me because I'm so into fighting and becoming stronger than everyone. When you left Japan, I couldn't help but to cry myself to sleep for awhile. To be honest I'm kind of embarrassed to be telling you this, but when you left, I never stopped thinking about you, no matter how old I got, how many battles I won, no matter how many trials I had to overcome, I knew that we would meet again one day, you have no idea how happy I was when I seen you after all these years. The feeling in my chest wouldn't stop and can't stop. I don't care about being your first, second or last. I can't help it, I like you, a lot, if you feel the same or not is fine. Writing this to you made me feel a lot better because I finally was able to speak out my feelings. "

"That should do it." Said Momoyo.

***** Flashback Over *****

Antonio was slumped in his car seat after reading Momoyo's heartfelt letter, the only problem was that he had Chiho. He sure wasn't about to ruin his relationship with her, spending time with her while she was in Higa's hospital, rescuing her, seeing her come back from America, he didn't want to be the reason why she stopped showing that beautiful smile of her's. So he placed the letter back into the inside of his jacket pocket, started his car and headed on back home.

"When is Antonio coming home?" Said Benitsubasa as she sulked on the L-shaped couch. Haihane walked in and had seen Benitsubasa wearing a v-neck t-shirt and Antonio's basketball shorts.

"What are you doing?" Asked Haihane

[Play Song: Kakashi Theme - Naruto OST]

"Waiting for Antonio to get back, what about you Haihane?" Said Benitsubasa

"Looking at you exposing what cleavage you barely have, since your boobs have grown a few cup sizes you let it go to your head." Said Haihane causing Benitsubasa to become flustered.

"I-I didn't let it go to my head!" Replied the pink haired Sekirei

"Oh really so why did I see cheongsam dresses and swimsuits in your closet." Replied Benitsubasa making her face turn bright red.

"You've been going through my stuff!?"

"More like the closet was open." Replied Haihane.

"Ugh whatever! Besides I just thought those were cute so I just had to have them." Said Benitsubasa

'Whatever.'

"Besides my boobs fit them perfectly. If you want I'll buy you some, I know you'll make Antonio crazy for you if he sees you wearing it." Said Benitsubasa that got Haihane thinking. The naughty, lewd thoughts she was thinking caused her face to turn deep red.

[Song END]

"Please wash your hands you two, and please tell the others that dinner will be ready shortly." Requested Miya as she wore her apron.

"Ok." Said Haihane as she left Benitsubasa in the living room

"Hey, don't you walk away from me!" Said Benitsubasa as she got up from the couch and followed her friend. Miya had seen the two Sekirei leave and couldn't help but get lost in her track of thoughts

'Seems as if history is repeating itself.' Thought Miya

***** Miya's Flashback *****

"You know there are many wonders out there Megami-chan." Said a man as he stood next to Miya looking out to the horizon

"Oh how so?" Replied Miya

"There's a legend that three factions, Devils, Angels and Angels that fell from grace, we're all conflicting with each other, using magic and other abilities to go to war with each other."

"How awful."

"After that the leaders of the Angels, Devils and Fallen had seen how their ferocious battle was decimating the land and sky around them, so they agreed to keep things peaceful. I didn't believe in most things, especially magic, but I guessed if you're dealing with the supernatural, then you are dealing with magic itself."

"Answer me this. What do you think connects everybody together? Even those who have no idea who the other person may be?" Asked Miya as she had seen the man standing next to her have his thinking cap on.

"Understanding of one's purpose to why they use it. Shinobi have abilities that are similar to magic but use chi instead. I believe if we all have an understanding of each other this world will truly be a better place."

"Sometimes even understanding one another can be a strain on ones self." Said Miya

"I guess you are right. Who knows, maybe in the future, they'll adapt magic to be used to make a school of magical knights."

"Hehe, that would be something."

"Either way, Magical Knights, Angels, Devils, Fallen, Shinobi, nobody will hurt you as long as I'm alive. I'll protect you and all Sekirei." Said _, making Miya smile.

"I think you are the right human for that task, thank you, Ashikabi Of Fate."

***** Flashback Over *****

'What connects them all together huh?' Miya thought to herself as the visage of the Ashikabi Of Fate being cloaked in white Aura facing away from her. 'Magic huh? Today was eventful, seeing all those different humans with magical abilities and seeing those Shinobi too.'

"Ara Miya?" Miya tilted her head to see Antonio was a few inches away. She blinked a couple times before she felt the counter hit her back. "Are you ok?"

"Y-Yes I'm fine dear." Said Miya

"Good." Said Antonio as he took Miya's lips, allowing her euphoric lilac colored, elegant wings of light to emerge from her back, causing Miya's face to turn deep red after the electricity stopped flickering. "It seemed as if something was troubling you."

"Welcome home master." Said Akitsu as she walked into the room with Saki right behind her, holding her 3DS

"Can you please not kiss her while everyone is still up! I was so close to catching the legendary pokemon and I forgot to save!" Said Saki, causing Antonio to sweatdrop

"Shouldn't you have saved your game before you tried catching it?" Asked Antonio

"I would've bu… That's not the point here!" Said Saki as she failed her arms in the air. Antonio laid down on the couch, then he noticed Chiho walking in the living room.

"Ahh your back!" Said Chiho with a smile on her face as she approaching Antonio who was laying on the couch. As Chiho hugged her boyfriend she could feel his heart beating.

"Chiho." Antonio was bringing his face closer to his girlfriend making her face blush.

"Ehh, I-Is there something on my face?" Asked Chiho curiously, then her face turned red when Antonio started rubbing his cheek against hers.

"You know that you are extremely beautiful?" Said Antonio

"Please stop, you're making me feel embarrassed." Said Chiho who didn't actually want to stop Antonio from giving her compliments she was just extremely shy. As everyone in the room was sharing a laugh, Antonio's phone started ringing.

"Hey someone's calling you, might want to pick it up." Said Hibiki. At the request of his Sekirei, he took out his phone to see that Ageha had texted him, letting him know to appear at the hotel at the request of someone who asked to see him ASAP. "What is it?"

"Seems as if someone wants to see me, probably seems important." Said Antonio, he then seen Saki suddenly burst with energy. "What's with you?"

"Finally some action! Please let us go with you!" Said Saki as she got close to Antonio's face, causing him to blush.

"S-Sure." Replied Antonio then he felt Saki jump and mount herself on his shoulders. "But I think it would be too much if we just showed up in the vans."

"Huh? You must've forgot that the sure fastest way for a Sekirei to travel is not by vehicles." Said Karasuba as she overheard the commotion. "We could always race there." Said Karasuba

"Chiho, I don't want to leave you by yourself." Said Antonio "Matsu, Kocho, I know your athletic abilities isn't anywhere near where the others are."

"Hey that's pretty rude Kanzaki-tan." Said Matsu as she pouted.

"Though it is an accurate statement." Chimed in Kocho as she pushed up her glasses to her face.

"Minato, Yukari and the others can look over the house." Said Antonio as he pulled out his keys to his Camaro out of his pocket. "Let's get going."

"Hai Antonio-sama!" Said Musubi as she tightened her combat gloves on her hand."


Beyond The Wings Of Fate


Upon arriving at the hotel, Antonio, Chiho, Matsu and Kocho walked up to the front door and heard everyone else jumping down behind them.

"Ahh Antonio!" Antonio then had seen Ageha approaching him, with Asia Argento behind her. Antonio, Chiho and his group of Sekirei were walking down the hall towards Until they heard a Big Bang.

"Issei calm down!"

"Getting angry won't solve anything Issei." Said Kiba as he tried to calm down his friend and ally.

"But you all didn't see what I had seen!"

***** Issei's Flashback *****

"Is this all the power of the famous Red Dragon Emperor has to show? Quite frankly I'm depressed."

"Shut the hell up! I'm gonna beat you and make sure Rias doesn't marry a jerkoff like you!" Said Issei while pointing at Riser with his boosted gear. "Get ready!" Issei dashed towards Riser as they were ontop of a roof back at Kuoh Academy, having a rating game. "Promotion Queen!" Issei threw a punch but Riser had simply dodged it.

"You're still too weak!" Riser then had thrusted his elbow into his back, slamming him into the ground with enough force that blood started to emit from his mouth. Before Issei could do anything, he was kicked in his face and sent flying until he skidded away from him. "You see, this is the gap of power between a low class Devil such as yourself and a pure-blooded one." Said Riser as his wings of fire emerged from his back, making his way towards a downed Issei. The Pheniox then grabbed Issei's collar, and then started to punch his face, and kept punching him, making his eye swollen, causing blood to emit from his mouth. "This will end it!" Just as Riser was about to throw a punch, covered in flames, Issei's eyes widened at the sight of Rias flying into the arms of Riser.

"Please don't hurt him anymore! Please! I-I give up, you win. Just stop hurting him." Pleaded Rias. Riser sucked his teeth, dispersing his flames from his fist as Rias made her way over towards Issei who was laying on his back but had gently placed his head in her lap. "You, You did a wonderful job Issei."

"R-Rias.." Even though Issei's eye was swollen, he could see tears coming from Rias's face as her hair dangled in front of his face as she brought her head down to whisper to him.

"I'm afraid that this, this is goodbye."

***** Flashback Over *****

"Why am I so weak!" Said Issei as he slammed his hand into a wall. "Because of me, Buchou is.."

"Ahh Asia, okaerinasai." Greeted Akeno "Where have you been off too?"

"Um, w-well, I." Asia stood to the side and allowed Antonio to enter, he told his Sekirei and Chiho to stay out in the hallway in case things were to get nasty. As he entered Koneko looked at Antonio with a cold look.

"Ara, you brought a friend of yours?" Asked Akeno

"N-No, I told him about what happened." Gaining everyone's attention, Including Issei's. "I-I just thought we needed some help and well, he told me that I could come to him." Said Asia. Akeno then came and gently patted Asia on the head.

"That's no good, we can't allow him to be apart of our business. Besides he's human." Said Akeno

"She's right." Said Kiba "As much as we want to go and save Rias, we lost the rating game. There isn't much we can do. Let alone a human."

"He isn't fully human." Said Koneko "Just as we are Devils. The only thing is, I can't tell what the other half is." Said Koneko

"Ara, and your so good a knowing the differences between humans, Devils, Angels and Fallen." Said Akeno "But I was there, when his eyes changed, those aren't the eyes of a human." Said Akeno

"I thought devils didn't exist." Said Antonio, at that point everybody on the room had spreaded out their devil wings to show him that they are very much real.

"Now you know that we are very much real." Said Xenovia "You can tell your colleagues outside to come in."

"Well since you insist, I was waiting to come in anyways." Said Karasuba as she walked inside of the large room, then one after another Antonio's Sekirei piled in and Chiho stood next to Antonio.

"I keep seeing that symbol." Said Koneko "Just what exactly are you?" Asked Koneko, Musubi swiftly chimed in.

"We're Sekirei!"

"Sekirei?" Questioned Koneko

"Humanoid Aliens." Said Yume.

"No wonder, I can feel power just radiating from you all." Said Asia "Rescuing Buchou should be easy now."

"Most likely but his palace is most likely going to be heavily guarded." Said Akeno "The only question is how to sneak in once we head to the underworld." Matsu smirked as she pushed up her glasses to her face.

"Just leave the planning up to us." Said Matsu as she placed her arm around Kocho's shoulder.

Riser's Palace

'Issei'

"Stuck in your thoughts?" Asked Riser as he peeked In on Rias changing into her wedding dress.

"Please get out." Said Rias but Riser didn't pay any attention to what she asked. "I hope you know I don't agree with what my brother says."

"That's fine but I wonder how long you'll keep up this attitude. I wonder if I should break you in right now." Said Riser as he licked the back of Rias's neck "Yes let's do that!" Said Riser as he grabbed the back of Rias's dress, and yanked on it with enough force that it ripped off her body, revealing her all black underwear.

"KYAAA!" Rias tried to cover up her body but felt Riser holding her arms up as he struggled to get her over to the bed.

"I like that fire in you, too bad you won't be this resistant when I take something of your away." Said Riser as his fingers slowly glided down Rias's stomach and to the top of her underwear. "I'm going to enjoy this." Raiser then had slowly lifted up her underwear

"Riser-sama, your presence is being requested." Said One of Riser's servants after she knocked on the door.

"Be lucky. Because after our wedding night, there won't be anybody stopping me." Said Riser as he disappeared through a magic circle, leaving Rias to curl up into a ball, leaving her as tears started to flow from her face.

Later - Underworld

"Can't believe I'm actually in the underworld right now." Said Antonio as he looked up to see the multi-colored Sky. He then had noticed friends of Rias dressed up for the occasion.

"Well don't get too comfy." Said Akeno. "Matsu-chan, go over the plan again."

"Certainly." Said Matsu. "You guys will go in and act undercover, enjoy yourselfs for the time being. While we on the outside take care of any guards that may try to report something is up."

"Ohhhhhhh a stealth mission! I can't wa.." Musubi had felt Yahan placing her hand over her friends mouth.

"Ara, I'm guessing you don't know what stealth means do you?" Said Yahan.

"Now that everyone knows what's needed." Said Kocho. We can commence operations." Inside, there were plenty of Devils belonging to prestigious families dressed in beautiful clothing, even Rias's brother, Sirzechs Lucifer, formally known as Sirzechs Gremory was in attendance with his servant, Grayfia. All of a sudden, Riser appeared in a red tux through a magic circle in the ground. As he fully materialized, his audience gave him a round of applause.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Devils alike, I would like to thank you for attending this event that will surely go down in history of keeping the pure-blooded Devils intact. The Union of the house of Phoenix and Gremory!" Once more the people who were in his ballroom clapped once more. "Now may I introduce to you, my lovely bride, Rias Gremory!" A hovering, red magic circle appeared and dropped down to the ground and there was Rias Gremory in her white and gold wedding dress. "Now let's.."

"Hey who the hell are you!" Outside the door leading into the ballroom, muffled sounds of fighting could be heard which made the crowd chatter amongst themselves, then suddenly the door was punched down with so much force it flew off the hinges and towards Riser who stepped to the side to avoid it.

"Rias!" Rias looked forward to see Issei and Antonio with his arm extended outward, bearing his crimson eyes.

"Issei!" Rias was more than extremely happy to see Issei.

"We came to get you back."

"Bwahahaha! Seriously? Even though you have the Aura of the Red Dragon, you are so weak it isn't even funny, and you have the nerve to try and stop my wedding? More than that, you brought a filthy human here?" The chatter amongst the crowd grew louder as they had seen Antonio. "How about I get rid of you both?" Said Riser as he snapped his fingers, getting his guards to surround Antonio and Issei.

"Well guess that's our cue." Said Akeno as she was blended into the crowd. She, along with Xenovia, Kiba and Koneko had sprung into action and dealt with the guards outside as not to hurt the innocent people. Now all that stood between Rias was Riser.

"You little brat! I didn't kill you at the request of Rias, but now there isn't anything stopping me!" Issei and Antonio turned around to see that down the hall to see Riser's peerage running towards them. "Now that you have no more help, what do you plan to do now?" Asked Riser. He then had noticed Antonio smirking himself. "You find your own murder to be a joke?" Said Riser?

"No, I was requested to help Issei bring back Rias, and I'm not leaving until I see that happen!" Said Antonio as his eyes shifted back from Hazel to Crimson, shocking everyone in the room, even Riser and Sirzech.

"But it's only two of you." Said Riser.

"Who said that?" Asked Antonio as he whistled, next thing everybody knew, a terrifyingly strong force punched a hole through the roof of Riser's palace, which caused Riser's peerage to stop moving.

"Finally about time we get some action." When the smoke dust had cleared Benitsubasa was standing there cracking her knuckles. "I'm going to enjoy this slowly." She then had felt Haihane dropping down next to her along with Musubi.

"Don't worry Antonio-sama, we can handle things here!" Said Musubi as she gave a thumbs up. "Let's take things outside!" Musubi took a step forward then suddenly vanished, shocking a knight of Riser's but felt Musubi kick her in the face after appearing right in front of her, kicking her out of the window in the hall, then that was the cue for everyone to follow.

"You there human." Sirzechs got Antonio's attention. "Why would you help a Devil, I'm curious. Throughout history, Devils were the sworn enemies of humans, but yet I'm looking at a human and Devil stand side by side."

"I don't care, If Issei is a Devil or not. If he needs help, anybody for that matter if they are human or not, I'll do the best I can to make sure that I can help them! That goes for now."

"Kuso yarō"

"Riser! I challenge you to a duel! If I lose then I, along with Antonio and everyone else who came will leave peacefully. If I win, Rias Gremory comes back home."

"I think that's fair." Said Sirzechs who spoke before Riser. "Given your reputation of giving 'fair and equal' rating games is widely known in the underworld, I think we can abide by the Red Dragon Emperor's request, besides time is not a factor here." Said Sirzechs.

"Tsk, Fine. But whose to say I had to accept you as the challenger!" Said Riser, causing all eyes to be on him. "I already proven that I am powerful than you during our rating game, If I were to challenge you there would be nothing stopping me from killing you. I'll accept the duel on one condition, If your friend duels me in your place, I'll accept." Issei turned to see the side of Antonio's face.

"Just tell me where." Said Antonio

Outside Of Riser's Palace

Benitsubasa had just clobbered one of Riser's pawns, punching her with enough force to break a tree deeply rooted in the ground.

"You can do that too one person." Said Ni

"But try doing that too two people at the same time." Said her twin sister Li. "Oi, what's so funny?"

"It's funny to think that you two think that you may have an advantage. I used to get challenged all the time in two against one." Said Benitsubasa referring to her days in the Disciplinary Squad. She then taunted them by curling her index finger at them. "Don't just stand there, I got plenty of ass kickings to hand out." Ni and Li dashed towards Benitsubasa and was dealing out attacks that were in a synchronized fashion. "What's wrong, you two seemed so confident before, what happened?" Asked Benitsubasa as she stuck her tongue out. She just simply moved her head to the right.

'Shit!'

"This is too boring!" Benitsubasa had immediately punched Li in her stomach and used her right leg to kick her in the left side. No used her right leg to kick Benitsubasa but the pink haired Sekirei blocked by simply using her left arm. She then grabbed her ankle and spun her around until she had hit her twin sister.

"Enough! How dare you mongrels interfere with my brother's wedding!?" Said Ravel while Musubi tilted her head in confusion.

"Juu-chan, what does mongrel mean?"

"She's basically calling you a mutt." Said Juusa as she was defending herself from an attack while Musubi pouted.

"That's not very nice!" Said Musubi

"I'll show you that you never mess with the house of Phoenix!" Ravel conjured up a massive fireball and fired it at Antonio's Sekirei but halfway during its travel, Ravel had seen another fireball of equal power had collided into hers, causing a big explosion. "W-What the?" Ravel looked around after the smoke had cleared to see Kagari and flames bouncing in her hands. Meanwhile Riser's queen was in a face off with Yume and Miya who was just relaxing by a nearby tree.

"Aren't going to bother fighting since you broke into my master's home?"

"No need." Said Miya "Even with my sword sheathed, I could kill you in a instant."

"Kuso yarō. You are just talk." Riser's queen levitated in the air, causing Yume to guard Miya. "I guess I'll have to show you why I'm qu…" Riser's queen was interrupted as a small, red magic circle appeared next to her ear. "Yes, I see." As soon as Yubelluna snapped her fingers, her rating game allies backed off.

"What happened, had enough?" Taunted Saki as she was holding her twin swords.

"We've been ordered to return to our master to watch him and the human who accompanied the Red Dragon Emperor duel."

"Antonio-sama!"

Riser's Dueling Grounds

As Riser and Antonio stood away from each other, rifts in the sky showed faces of everyone watching. Riser had watched Antonio just do simple stretches and push his glasses up on his face.

"I'll give you all the time in the world, there's no way a human could defeat a Phoenix." Said Riser

"Are we going to do this, or just stand around talking?" Said Antonio as he got into his stance.

"You'll regret ever facing my family!" Said Ravel. Riser had thrown multiple fireballs towards him but Antonio used his ability to slow things down around him so dodging those were no problem. He kept a small gift from Asia in his pocket that she told him she would hope that he would find some use to.

"Trying hand to hand combat eh?" Said Riser as Antonio and Riser himself were exchanging and dealing out attacks at mind boggling speeds. "Doesn't matter, I'll kill you where you stand!" Riser's fists were then coated in flames. Antonio had managed to dodge his punches but could sense his shirt starting to burn.

"Haaa!" Antonio punched Riser in the stomach with enough force to push him back away from him. As he patted his shirt so the burning could stop, he could sense his head start to hurt, he remembered the feeling while at the All-Star Battle Games and while Yume delivered a fierce punch.

"Take this!" Riser pulled his arm back, and when he extended it outwards, a huge gush of roaring flames emitted from his hands. Antonio's hands were then emitting energy in his right fist.

"Kūki-Hō No Ken!" A very powerful wind blast was launched towards Riser as soon as Antonio extended his right arm outwards. The collision of the two attacks caused the whole dueling arena to shake due to the tremendous force, even causing Riser's palace to vibrate.

"Not bad human, but I'm done playing games with you!" Said Riser as his flaming wings emerged from his back. He then threw a fireball at Antonio which he deflected with no problem. What Antonio didn't know what that Riser traveled behind the fireball, and dealt a one, two combo to his face and kneed him in his stomach.

'What's with me, is he going faster than I can see.' Before Antonio could fall to the ground, Riser picked him back up by the back of his collar.

"Antonio-sama!" Kaho screamed out to her husband. Benitsubasa looked as if she was going to jump into the rift but was signaled to stop by Miya.

"Why would you stop me, It's not like I'm going to let some douche lay his hands on Antonio!"

"Due to the rules set in place, we aren't allowed to interfere." Replied Miya

"He usually dodges attacks like that." Said Yashima "So why isn't he now?"

"Miya!" Miya looked behind her to see Matsu, Kocho, and the rest of Kuoh Academy. "Check this out!" Matsu brought her IPad with her to keep her usual check up on Antonio's power, what blew Miya's and Yume's mind was that it was getting near its limit.

"Weak!" Said Riser as she kept repeatedly kneeing Antonio in the stomach, showing a side of Musubi she didn't even know she had in her, anger. "Here I thought the Red Dragon Princess was weak, although you are a mere human, by the hands of a pure blooded Devil, I shall grant you a death beyond your wildest dreams." Said Riser as he coated his fist in flames. In his left hand he dropped Antonio but slammed His right Fist into Antonio with so much force that Antonio went flying into the wall and created a deep spiderweb crack.

"Antonio!" Over Benitsubasa's yelling, rapid beeping could be heard from Matsu's iPad.

"That's It, if he pushes himself anymore.." Everyone couldn't believe it but, what shocked everyone watching was that a white circle appeared in the sky.

Antonio's Subconscious

"Hey, hey wake up!" Antonio could feel someone nudging him, urging him to wake up. "I hope this isn't all the power my descendent has?" Antonio had slowly opened his eyes to hear familiar voice. "Here, I'll give you a helping hand." Said the voice as he reached his hand down to help Antonio up. "You kept a promise, make sure you see that through!" Even though Antonio couldn't make out the face, he slowly but surely grabbed the helping hand.

Riser's Dueling Grounds

"Come on Antonio get up please!" Yelled Issei as he could see through the rift that Antonio was not moving at all. Riser scoffed before laughing.

"What was all that big talk earlier to Sirzechs about? Where did all that confidence go all of a sudden?" Questioned Riser. "Was all of that a fluke! I thought you could've entertained me more. I'm much stronger than the Red Dragon, but doing this to a human, almost makes me feel bad. Well almost…" Said Riser

"Kono yarō.." Said Benitsubasa as she tightened up her fist.

"After I kill you, then I.." Riser then had seen Antonio's body shake before slowly getting up. His glasses had been broke, blood emitting from his head and strolled down the right side of his face.

"Antonio!"

"You know what, you are strong, really strong, I'll give you that." Said Antonio. Everybody had noticed Matsu's IPad had begun to beep so rapidly that it sounded like a single sound. As Antonio slowly raised his head, Miya had noticed the ground beneath him starting to crack around him and little debris hovering around him. What stunned everyone was that his eyes were slowly changing from crimson to gold. "If my opponent is strong, then I'll get much, much stronger!" Said Antonio in a slightly distorted voice.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaa!" The next thing Antonio and everyone else know, a pillar of light shot down from the sky and towards Antonio, everybody had to cover their eyes due to the brightness of the light but when it had died down, Antonio was covered in a white-gray aura that kept his body shadowed, the only thing you could see was Antonio's all golden eyes

[Play Song: XYZ - Rika Matsumoto]

Miya was completely speechless at the sight of her husband being cloaked in the same Aura as the Ashikabi Of Fate. Everybody was speechless except Riser who broke out into laughter.

"This is the excitement I was looking for!" Said Riser as he conjured up a gigantic fireball. "Die!" Riser laughed as he launched the fireball towards Antonio who without any effort deflected the fireball upwards. The fireball then exploded which caused Riser to smile. Antonio dug into his pocket and took out the item Asia gave him.

'Huh is this some type of water?' Thought Antonio as he looked at the small container of water that had a cross on it. 'Wait, this couldn't be?' Antonio didn't waste and time pouring some on his glove. Before placing it back in his pocket.

"Not going to come to me!?" Taunted Riser

"Fine, you asked for it!" Said Antonio, he took one step and launched himself towards Riser causing a small crater to appear from when he took off. Immediately after launching himself towards Riser, he was already within arms length.

'H-Hayai!'

"Suck on this!" Said Antonio as he punched Riser square in the jaw with so much force, Riser could feel immense pain in his face as he was sent flying to a tower that looked over the area, nearly destroying it.

"Y-You're just a mere human, but you managed to damage me!?" Said Riser as he levitated away from the broken pillar. He tried to touch his face, but due to the holy water that Antonio soaked his fists in, Riser couldn't regenerate the injuries away.

"Kuta…" Riser's hair had shadowed his face. "Kutabare! No mere human is going to make a mockery out of me!" Said Riser as he foolishly charged at Antonio who managed to pour the rest of the holy water on his right fist. "Die!" Riser extended his right arm hoping to impale him at the same speed that he connected his few hits with but had seen Antonio step to the side and cock his fist back.

"Kūki Ryū No Ken!" Antonio had brought his right fist and uppercut Riser in his stomach, causing him to cough up a scary amount of blood."Kore de owarida!" A visage of a white dragon with golden eyes traveled from Antonio's fist with Riser in its mouth straight through the high skies. When the dragon disappeared, Riser plumped down to the earth and landed, causing a crater to form.

"Nii-san!" Ravel had spread her wings and flew down to stop things from progressing any further while Sirzechs smirked to himself.

"This duel obviously has a clear winner."

[Song END]

Antonio was slowly approaching Riser still covered in his Aura of tremendous power. He stopped as soon as he had seen Ravel defending him.

"Don't you dare hurt my brother!" Said Ravel in a defensive tone.

"He's a pure-blooded Devil, so he'll be alright with proper treatment." Said Sirzechs as members of Riser's peerage came to take him to get proper treatment for his wounds. "It's clear as day who won, and would you mind telling me your name?"

"Kanzaki Antonio." Replied Antonio, earning himself a handclap from Sirzechs.

"I applaud you for finally showing Riser that he isn't unbeatable, as the winner, the wedding is off and Rias will be able to go back to the Red Dragon Emperor." Said Sirzechs.

"Good. I.." Antonio was interrupted by an immense pain in his head which caused him to drop down to his knees and his aura to disperse, making him breathe heavily.

"Antonio!" Benitsubasa couldn't take anymore and jumped down to the dueling grounds to be by the side of her husband. "Please tell me you are alright."

"Yeah, but I don't know what was that just now."

"I don't know either, but all I know is that I'm glad to know you are ok." Said Benitsubasa as she helped Antonio up.

***** Flashback *****

"I also believe that evil exists in this world, most definitely." Said _ to Miya "Some say that evil is born from the haterade in the heart."

"That is true, but would you believe it if people were born evil?" Asked Miya

"I think nobody is born evil. When you are just born, you are ignorant and innocent to the world outside."

"Ignorant and innocent? Please explain." Requested Miya.

"When I say ignorant, I mean a newborn child doesn't have the knowledge to differentiate between what's good and what's bad. Often at times, kids have to be taught by their parents the difference between what's right and what's wrong. When I mean innocent, every parent will try to do everything in their power to make sure their kid doesn't take in what's happening around them, often kids imitate what they see and get told by their parents to not do that again. They have no idea what they did was bad, unless the parents tell him it's bad, if they promote it, the child will keep on doing so." Replied _.

"My that's quite the insight." Said Miya with a light chuckle.

"Also to add on my previous statement. Well the definition of demon is a evil spirit or devil. A cruel, evil or destructive person or thing. There's a lot of definitions to the word but I believe that magic exists in this world as a form of protection."

"Protection?" Asked Miya curiously

"Protection for the human race. Surely when I die and pass on, there will be many different forms of it. Mages, Magical Knights, Shinobi even. Even though some may say that the human race isn't worth saving, I would have to disagree. Sure we conflict a lot with each other, but if we manage to get out heads out of our asses, there isn't anything we cannot accomplish."

"Again, your insights are really nice to hear." Replied Miya

***** Flashback Over *****

"Miya-tan?" Miya had blinked as Matsu was waving her hand in her face trying to snap her out of her funk. "Are you alright?"

"Why yes." Replied Miya, she then had seen Issei embracing Rias in a tight hug.

"Sorry I wasn't able to do much, I must be a failure as your pawn." Said Issei

"Īe. You came for me and that's what truly matters to me Issei." Said Rias. She then looked over towards Antonio and his group of Sekirei "You as well Kanzaki-san, words cannot even begin to express how thankful I am to you." Said Rias

"Don't worry about it." Said Antonio, shocking Rias. "I made a promise to help and the thing about me is that I always keep my promises." Causing Rias to smile.

"This doesn't mean we will go easy on you once the All-Star Battle Games begin again." Said Rias

"In the meantime, let's just get back to Asia and Chiho." Said Antonio.

"Let's." Said Rias as she snapped her fingers. A giant, red magic circle was underneath everybody's feet then suddenly levitated upwards.

Kuoh Academy's Suite

"Antonio-san, seems like a extremely wonderful person." Said Asia, causing Chiho to smile.

"You have no idea, ever since I first met him, I knew then he was a wonderful person." Replied Chiho

"How long have you two known each other?" Asked Asia "Uwah! I hope I'm not asking anything to personal."

"It's fine." Replied Chiho "we've been knowing each for a while actually, months." Said Chiho "And not a time goes by where I don't think about him."

"Seems to me that you really love him." Said Asia, causing Chiho's face to turn red, but before she could say anything, behind them a giant, red magic ring appeared behind them. As it levitated off the ground, Antonio and his Sekirei, along with Rias, Issei and everybody else came back safely. "Buchou!" Asia ran up to Rias and gave her a hug. "I'm glad you are back alright."

"Me too." Replied Rias.

"You know." Antonio got all of Kuoh academy's students attention. "They are giving us a break tomorrow so that you all can explore the city. If you want I could show you all where the best shopping mall in Kawakami City is."

"Are, that sounds lovely." Said Akeno. As everybody was chattering amongst themselves there was too much on Antonio's mind, where did that sudden burst of power come from and what's more, Momoyo's love letter. He didn't know how to respond or if he should. He just knew Yamato would be pissed beyond belief.

'Asia-san is right.' Thought Chiho as she had seen the side of her boyfriends face. 'I do love him very much so.' Miya on the other hand couldn't help but to stare at the side of Antonio's face as well.

'Ō-Ōsama…"
