I do not own the Persona series or High School DxD. Everything belongs to their respected owners.
"Oh, hell yeah!" Issei exclaimed as he saw Akira and everyone else gather right behind Ryuji as they each stood in front of Riser and his Peerage. "This is going to be awesome!" His cheer was met with several looks from many Devils as well as friends.
Rias raised an eyebrow, slightly taken aback at her Pawn's sudden enthusiasm. "Yes, it will be an amazing moment. But what makes you this excited, Issei-kun?" She asked her question curiously. "I do understand that Riser is going to be easily beaten. But what makes this much more special?"
"I'm sure everyone is curious about your Pawn's reaction." Sona commented, looking around to see all of the eyes on them. The most notable ones were Sirzechs and Serafall. Especially since she and Rias were not only their siblings, but also the two younger sisters had a smaller reaction to the situation at hand.
The conversation between them all was completely privy to all of them. Yet gazes from many Devils stared. "Because," Issei whispered as he didn't want the grand secret to be revealed because of him. "Remember that they're the Phantom Thieves. All of them together, fighting at the same time! Come on, Buchou, you have to be excited as well! These are the Phantom Thieves at work! We get to actually see them in action!"
"… I am curious to see how they coordinate with one another." Sona admitted, turning her head towards the fight. Apparently, despite the time it took for them to talk, the fight had not really begun yet.

"Do we all love what we do?!" Akira exclaimed. Stepping past Ryuji, he turned around to address each of every one of his fellow Phantom Thieves. Putting one hand on his hip, the other one was cupped around his ear. It was as if he wanted to hear each all of them better.
"Yeah!" Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru all replied back loudly.
"Riser's Peerage is big!" Akira continued on, seeming to ignore the looks of anger and disbelief they were being given just due to ignoring all of them. "We're at a disadvantage number-wise! Isn't that exciting?!"
"Yeah!"
"Then let's! Have! Some! Fun!"
Everyone began to run forward immediately. They were the first to take initiative as their sudden movement caught Riser and the others by surprise. Even Ravel, who had been on the side of the Phantom Thieves, was taken aback from their sudden charge.
Futaba leapt up into the air towards the right. As soon as she did, she was inside of Necronomicon and flew off into the air and circled around the area. But before she could get far, Haru leapt up into the air as well. As the heiress performed a backflip, a metal tentacle wrapped around Haru's leg. Meanwhile, Noir summoned Milady and the Persona also appeared upside down while being held by more Necronomicon tentacles.
Yusuke and Makoto meanwhile went left. Makoto swiftly hopped into the air and Johanna roared into existence. Gunning the motorbike, she almost sped past Yusuke. But then Fox was more than ready as he managed to jump up and stood right on the space that was free behind Makoto. Goemon immediately came into play as Yusuke's Persona immediately began to form a pathway made of up of ice up towards the air which they followed.
Akira, Morgana, Ryuji, and Ann meanwhile all took the ground while still running forward. Ryuji's Persona soon looked like it was positioning itself in the air. Just as Riser's Peerage were too busy watching them all go their separate ways, Captain Kidd released an onslaught of cannonballs right towards the Devil group. Each projectile missed, but the forces of impact were strong enough to blow each one of Riser's Peerage members their separate ways.
"Skull. Mona." Akira said loudly, turning around and hopping backwards in a pattern to match their speed. Reaching into his jacket, he pulled out two smoke bombs. One for each hand. "Playball!" Setting both of them off, he quickly tossed them just as the clouds began to pour out towards the pair.
Morgana pulled out his blade while Ryuji had his staff ready. As the two of them reeled their weapons back, the two bat the smoke bombs over and nailed two of Riser's Pawns on their heads. But that was not the main goal of such as the clouds began to cover the vision of their opponents. It would be the same for the Phantom Thieves. However, they had their ways to see through it all.
[Visual update coming online!] Futaba notified them all just as soon as the smoke had risen. Inside the clouds, outlines of many Devils were seen coughing or looking around with a bit of panic. Their voices were heard calling out to one another, unknown they were sitting ducks inside of the smoke.
"All but Fox and Queen take aim and fire!" Akira commanded while pulling out his pistol. He preferred for Yusuke and Makoto's guns not to be used. After all, they were made by holy Personas therefore a risk of them being considered holy weapons.
A hail of gunfire began to come from those that were grounded. Calmly walking forward, Akira, Ryuji, and Ann all kept their rate of fire up while Morgana worked his paws as fast as he could. Haru however was still suspended upside down just like Milady. She was lobbing grenades down while the Persona continued to release bullets from its gatling gun.
The Devils scattered at the sound of gunfire coming towards them. Many of them were hit. However, Futaba noticed something and was prepared to notify everyone to get ready. [A few are coming up into the air right now!]
"Fox, Queen, Noir, that's for you all!" Akira stopped his shooting in favor of looking into the air to see those that went in separate directions. "Make sure to keep Oracle safe at the same time! We're not sure if they know about her abilities, but I'm sure they have a strong suspicion about what she could do! Everyone on the ground, all-out attack!"
Just like the Rating game, all of the Pawns were taken out easily. Just as Akira and the others ran into the smoke, The King, Queen, Bishop, two Knights, and two Rooks both took to the skies. But then the Bishop Mihae looked over to see Makoto speeding up from behind and saw a special baton being smashed onto her face began her body being cut by Yusuke. For good measure, her stomach was struck by Goemon's pipe. The Bishop felt a bit dazed, as if everything was blurry, before falling back down into the smoke cloud where the all-out attack was still occurring.
"Damn it!" Riser growled, looking around him. Already he had lost half of his Peerage to the humans. He absolutely did not want to be humiliated any further. "I'll take care of that damn UFO and that woman. Yubelluna, deal with the pair on that weird vehicle. The rest of you, to the ones on the ground!" Without any objection, all of them went towards their appropriate targets.
Yubelluna pointed her fingers towards the Makoto and Yusuke as the two of them just managed to avoid a ball of fire that was meant for them. "Whoa!" Yusuke breathed with surprise as he continued for dear life yet still stayed standing. "That was rather close. She has rather precise aim."
"And we're not allowed to use gunfire against her or anyone else for the moment as well." Makoto swerved to avoid another blast of fire. While still riding around, ignoring the flames as well as the laugh from the Queen piece, something came to the Phantom Thief's mind. "Fox, I have an idea in mind. It requires your cooperation"
"Well, no harm in trying it out nor will I say no." Yusuke commented while ducking under another blast of fire. "So, what exactly did you have in mind?"
As the duo rode past Haru and Futaba, Riser continued to fly after the two of them with an angry look. Raising his palm, just like his Queen, fireballs were being shot towards the flying people. Not only that, but Riser was also releasing a powerful heat just by his emotions alone it seemed. The temperature was certainly not doing them any favors and Haru found herself wiping sweat off her brow often.
"Oracle, things are getting a little hot out here." Haru commented, panting slightly due to the heat.
[Yeah, yeah, I can see that.] Futaba commented while seeming to keep her eyes on several tabs at the same time. As she steered Necronomicon, she performed all sorts of maneuvers in order to prevent Riser's attack from hitting Haru while avoid damage to their Personas. She then noticed something. [Hold on tight! I'm going to do something incredible stupid! Fox, Queen, just don't stop!]
"I doubt we would be planning to do that in the first place." Makoto said to herself but then continued to drive. Accelerating upwards, apparently Necronomicon passed by right over them.
Haru continued to fire towards Riser, but the Devil seemed to avoid every since bullet as well as the recoil being a bit annoying. As the King aimed once again, he released a torrent of fire this time.
But just as he fired, Futaba withdrew her Persona. The hacker and heiress soon began to free-fall towards the ground. Meanwhile, the torrent of fire that Riser shot missed their smaller bodies and instead engulfed his Queen in such flames. After that happened, Futaba summoned Necronomicon again while having the metal tentacles grabbing Haru and Milady at the same time.

"I knew they were cool, but this is even more awesome than I thought! Woo! They're beating around that Fried Chicken's Peerage like it's nothing!" Issei continuously punched the air in celebration at how amazing the group that was once in Tokyo were.
"…" Rias sighed as she only place a few fingers against her forehead. But a smile graced her face rather than a negative feeling. It was indeed a marvelous sight. Not only by the amount of teamwork, but almost a bit of amusement. Amusement because she remembered she had stood up to them when it came down to the issue at the church and thought she could stop them. How wrong she could be.
"Rias-chan, it's good to see you looking happy."
Blinking, Rias turned around to see her brother approaching them. "Onii-sama, Grayfia, Leviathan-sama." She greeted, slightly bowing as did all of the other Devils that were her Peerage and friends. "Yes, such a display of action does amuse me. Especially after what Riser had done."
Sirzech was accompanied by Grayfia and Serfall as the leading one smiled as well. "Come now, Rias-chan, no need to be so formal with me." The red-headed male chuckled at her sister. "You all are surprisingly keeping calm despite the display of these… Personas. Not only that, but their weapons are a bit of a surprise to everyone except yourselves."
Everyone began to look around, now actually taking in the looks that the other Devils gave during the fight. They all looked so… eager. There was going to be no doubt each of the Devils were going to try and recruit the Phantom Thieves into their Peerages or their children's with or without force.
Sona was the first to look back. "And you suspect something because your younger sister invited them all." She stated, getting a sheepish look from the one titled Lucifer. "They do not mean us any harm. In fact, they have aided your sister on more than one occasion. Allow me to elaborate."

Ryuji slid across the ground on his knees. Rearing his arm back, he slammed the back of Isabela's leg which brought her down to her knees as well. "Sorry!" Ryuji shouted as the Rook turned to face him. But as she did, Captain Kidd came flying in and rammed the nose of the ship right against her face. Watching Isabela get knocked down, Ryuji immediately ducked as his Persona spun around and backhanded Siris. The Knight blocked the attack but then skidded back due to the force. "You hanging on okay, Ravel-san?" Ryuji turned to Captain Kidd's passenger.
Ravel jolted in surprise at Ryuji addressing her, but then she managed to nod her head. "Y-yes, I'm fine!" She claimed, still looking around at how her brother's Peerage was being fought against. It… surprised her that this group of humans were able to hold their own rather easily in this battle. She was snapped out of her thoughts as Ryuji jumped up onto Captain Kidd's ship and began flying around once more.
As Xulean raised her fists and tried to rush Ryuji, Akira and Arsene tackled her to the ground. Looking over to their side, Akira just managed to raise his arms and knife up in time to block Siris' zweihandler as he was back and onto the ground. Looking up, he saw a pair of feet running his way but knew that it was not one of his allies. Arsene was immediately by his side and block Karlamine's arm which tried to stab Akira.
A whip suddenly wrapped itself around Karlamine's weapon and it was ripped out of the Knight's hands while dragging her down in the process. Ann's aid was perfectly timed as Akira got back up to his feet and ducked under Xulean's punch. Standing back up while swinging his arm, his trusty knife was in his hand as the area between the breast and shoulder was cut on the Rook's body.
"Joker, catch!"
Hearing metal collide, Akira looked to his side and then up to see the knife Karlamine had used before but was stolen by Ann had bounced off his own weapon as ricocheted into the air. Grabbing the weapon, he threw it right towards Siris and forced her to blocked the projectile.
Morgana meanwhile had climbed his way up on Karlamine. Locking himself in place, he furiously started scratching the Knight's face. But his assault was short lived as Ann's whip wrapped around his body and yanked him back as the knife that bounced off Siris' weapon almost hit the cat. "Ahhhh!" Being swung around in the air, Morgana was finally flung right towards Captain Kidd's ship. Grabbing a hold of the mast, the cat swung around the post before releasing his grip. Soaring through the air once more, he summoned Zorro and the two knocked Karlamine down.
Ann pointed her gun towards Isabela, but the Rook knocked the gun right out of her hands before trying to hit the blonde. Weaving side to side, Ann flipped backwards before summoning Carmen. The Persona blew a giant cloud of smoke into the fray and Isabela suddenly began snapping her head around back and forth in a disoriented fashion. Lashing her whip out at the Rook, Ann then snapped her weapon towards her gun and brought the firearm back to her hands.
Morgana and Zorro soon began double teaming Karlamine, his attacks jumping all over the place while Zorro maintained the assault. With every precise strike the Persona made, Morgana would make a sneaky move and slash an unguarded spot. "How dare you!" Karlamine exclaimed, almost losing her footing. "Do you have no honor at all?!"
"Kind of the point when it comes down to fighting!" Morgana exclaimed as he hopped up onto Zorro's body. A tornado began to spin around the Knight. The winds were razor sharp, cutting the Knight piece some more.
"Look out, Mona! Fire in the hole!" Ann exclaimed as she pointed towards the winds with Carmen. A pillar of flames shot out from underneath Karlamine. With a combination of the winds and fire, the combination became a flaming nightmare that roared loudly as the Knight was thrown out with cut and severe burns. But then the tornado continued to stay in place.
Akira continued to do what he did best. As his slash was blocked by Siris, Arsene easily followed up with a punch to her stomach. Flipping the grip of the knife in his hand, he slammed the butt of the weapon against her face. As the Knight piece was about to recoil back, the Persona grabbed her by the face. Throwing the Knight over its shoulders like a judo throw, it slammed Siris' body right against Xulean who was trying to still fight despite being injured.
"Incoming!" Ryuji shouted as Akira looked over. Diving out of the way just in time, Akira watched as Ryuji and Captain Kidd rain down bolts of lightning towards the fallen duo.
Still going by on Captain Kidd's ship, Ryuji rolled his arm back as if he were a batter at a ball game. "Sorry again!" He exclaimed towards Isabela. The Rook was still rather disoriented but then met darkness as a powerful force smashed against her face.
Seeing how their opponents were taken care of, Akira looked up. "How are you guys doing?" He asked, eyeing the events above.
[Dandy, thanks for asking] Futaba answered in a bit of a cheeky tone. Necronomicon continued to fly around while avoiding Riser. The only difference now being that Haru was the only one see that the metal tentacles were holding onto. [We're just waiting for Ryuji to finish up so he can have a go at Riser. It seems appropriate for him to finish it.]
"What about you two, Fox and Queen?" Akira asked, the situation on the bottom still calm thanks to everyone's efforts.
"Well, we've picked up maximum speed at the moment." Yusuke commented as he was still making an ice-road for Johanna. "Now we're going to go faster now."
"…How the hell does that work?" Ryuji asked, riding around in the air on Captain Kidd while keeping an eye on Riser. "There's a reason why there is a pair of words called maximum speed. You can't go any higher than that." He continued before going after Riser.
"Watch us." Makoto commented before tilting her head to she eyed Yusuke. "Now, Fox!" Goemon spun around while still skating along with Johanna as a green light rose up from all of the Phantom Thieves' feet. "Skull, I'm also going to need a power up as well! Mona, lower their Queen's speed!"
Feeling the effects of their buffs and see Yubelluna slow down, Makoto began to floor it. As the way dipped down, Makoto continued to follow it. Going on an around while circling the Devil, the motorbike failed to slow down. But while it continued to move, the blue energy from the exhaust pipes was being spit out in large quantities non-stop. Slowly, the pathway angled upwards as well. That's the way Makoto and Yusuke rode while circling around the Queen piece continuously.
Soon enough, the two of them were well above the Devil. Riding an arc that had been made, the two of them began to go upside-down for a couple of seconds before plunging down at full speed. Zooming right past the Devil, they went so fast they created a small vacuum to follow them. All of the blue energy that had been left behind Johanna was sucked downwards into the space Makoto and Yusuke had gone down.
But the Yubelluna was at the center of it all. With nowhere to escape due to being slowed down by Morgana, she faced a complete ocean of deadly energy being washed all over her.

Sona couldn't hide her surprise when she saw a giant explosion be set off after what Yusuke and Makoto had done.
"…Amazing…" She breathed. Yes, it was amazing. But to her, there were reasons. The ability to be able to come up with so many strategies. The coordination between all of them was near perfect. Just how did they manage to achieve such skills? Only in the span of a single year as well. All of the Phantom Thieves worked off one another perfectly.
She underestimated them. Sona had underestimated each and every single one of them.
"Yes, it really is a sight to behold." Serafall commented, grabbing her sister's attention. The older sister was not as childish as before, knowing how partially heavy the situation was for her sibling. "Akira-chan is a business partner of yours, correct? That you two trade information and tips with one another?"
Sona blinked. "Yes." She nodded her head.
"Have you been learning a lot from him?" Serfall asked as well.
"…Yes…"
The female with the title Leviathan only smiled while patting her sister gently on the head. "That's good. Very good." She also placed a kind hand against Sona's shoulder. "It must be incredible stuff."

"Riser belongs to Skull!" Akira called out to everyone. "Circle the area so Riser doesn't escape!"
Akira, Ann, and Morgana were all stationed around the ground far from one another. Yusuke and Mokoto took their spot in the air and on a platform made up of a familiar frozen element. Haru and Milady were once again being held up by Necronomicon.
Ryuji however sailed around Riser slowly. "So, Riser, you ready to give up yet?" The blonde asked, eyes narrowed as he kept on riding on Captain Kidd's ship with Ravel.
Gritting his teeth, the Devil glared at Ryuji. His glare then turned over towards his sister. "Ravel!" The blonde girl flinched at how her brother addressed her. "You're right next to him! Burn him, and I will both forgive and apologize to you!"
A hand attached to his leg a second later, a once gentle limb gripped harshly against his body. Those up in the air to witness the action reacted by bringing up their guns. Ryuji was surprised. Not only by the sudden grab, but because of the trembling hand. A vice grip shook as their owner fought with her will, fought with herself.
"Why are you hesitating?" Riser asked angrily. "Do it already, Ravel!"
"Shut up!" Ryuji roared back, pumping his shotgun and pointing it towards Riser with one hand. "So many things at once. First you hit her! Then you yell at her! Now you're just ordering her around?! The hell is wrong with you?!"
"She is my Bishop!" Riser threw a blast of fire towards Ryuji. "She will listen to me!"
"She's your sister, god damn it!" The human blonde shot the fireball and the flames dissipated. "You can't even fight me properly without having people do it for you! Come on, one on one, where's that bravery now?! Maybe you're just not so special after all!"
With a yell of anger, Riser charged right towards Ryuji. Pumping his shotgun once more, Ryuji fire once more and this time struck Riser's wings. Grinning as the Devil dropped down slightly, Ryuji held onto the ship as Captain Kidd began to turn and rammed into the King piece down towards the ground. Quickly swerving, Ryuji flew off to the side while Riser was left on the dirt.
As the Devil got back up, the Phantom Thief had been turned back around and hopped off the ship. Riser made a swiping motion and a wave of fire followed, but the Ryuji slid under it. Getting back on his feet, Ryuji spun around and nailed the back of Riser's head with his weapon. Watching his opponent skid along the ground, Ryuji stomped on the ground while Captain Kidd spread its arms as if it were releasing a battle cry.
A small steam of lights circled Ryuji, charging up his next attack.
"Come on, Captain Kidd!" Ryuji cried out in anticipation as he ran forward while Riser was getting back up.
As the Devil groaned while shaking his head, he looked over and saw Ryuji leap into the air. The next moments came as if in slow motion. Riser saw the blonde about to bash his head in. But it was not only that. Behind the blonde was a giant fist looked ghostly yet made of metal at the same time rocketing towards him. Raising his arms, Riser desperately tried to defend himself.
Ryuji laid the final blow, the attack easily breaking through Riser's guard and beating the boy easily.
Slightly panting, Ryuji slowly walked back to see his work of the King lying inside of a crater. "Just as I said." His Persona disappeared and Ravel dropped to the ground. "Not as special as you think you are."
Quietly, all of the other Phantom Thieves approached him. But they each had small smiles as they each began to congratulate Ryuji. Not only that, but they commended each other on their teamwork.
"Still, was God Hand really necessary?" Ann asked.
Ryuji shrugged. "He had it coming to him."

"You all were incredible out there!" Asia exclaimed as the Phantom Thieves all walked back into the building of Gremory Manor with Ravel trailing behind them at a set distance. The humans and cat all changed back towards their suits since the fighting was over.
"H-hey, come on Asia-chan." Ann tried to quell the fellow female blonde. "There's no need to be that impressed or anything."
"But you were awesome, Ann-senpai! So was everyone else! In fact, everyone watching was impressed!" Issei exclaimed, gesturing towards the crowds that were watching them.
"…Right…" Makoto stated curtly. "I completely forgot about them." She then turned over to everyone. "I guess we technically made our debut here in the Underworld. That's nice… I guess." She wasn't really sure about that last part.
"Aw crap. You're right." Ryuji looked over to see many Devils staring and pointing at them. It didn't help that they did not keep their movements subtle. "Now what is going to happen? We going to have Devils constantly asking or trying to kill us in order to increase their Peerages and stuff?"
"Thankfully, no." Sona answered that question for all of them, stepping forward as well.
Rias was in perfect stride with her best friend. "Because of how you are my friends and how dear you all are to me, my brother is about to announce to everyone that you are off-limits and that your choices are to be respected." The red-head explained. "Sona's sister will do that as well. If you are converted, there will be consequences."
Futaba looked back at the crowd. "No offense or anything, but it kind of looks like they still are going to try anyways despite some strong guy's words."
"What should we do then?" Haru asked. "Akira-chan, any ideas?"
Akira slightly paced around, just thinking about something. "There is one, but I'm fairly sure that you guys won't lik-"
"Dude, it's you." Ryuji deadpanned. "We'll roll with whatever you want whether we like it or not."
Akira just stared at Ryuji for a second before looking over everyone else. All of them seemed to agree with the male blonde. "Sitri-san, Gremory-san, are these Devils as strong as gods?" Akira turned to look at the duo, who shook their heads while having weird looks.
"Only the Four Great Maou have such strength. Everyone else here do not compare to them much." Sona explained. "Why do you ask?"
Akira didn't answer, choosing to gather all of the Phantom Thieves close together. "Okay then. Futaba, I'm going to need you to do something for me."
All of their Devil friends soon began to hear whispers among them. From the distance other Devils were, there was no way to hear yet it could be made out that they were planning something. Akira, however, turned around and began to address the entire crowd in front of them.
"Hello, high-class Devils!" Akira greeted, spreading his arms out. His words however didn't seem to be much care to many of them as they continued to talk, not even concerned about his presence. "Listen everyone, you're all just having your own conversation. It's very distracting – very rude. So, could you all just quiet down for a minute because I! Am! Talking!"
Whether it was the volume of his voice or just the fact that Akira had the guts to yell at all of these Devils, it made them quiet down. Akira only nodded his head however in approval. Looking over to the side, they all noticed Sirzechs, Grayfia, and Serafall all watching from the side. It seemed like they were about to address the issue but still waiting apparently to see how this played out. How kind of them.
"Now that I have your attention, let me ask you a few questions." Akira clapped his hand together. "Just how strong do you think we all are?" A moment of silence. "Well, come on, you've all been talking to each other on how you're going to try and force us into your Peerages. Just how strong do you think we are?"
All of the Devils looked at one another, just wondering what the point that Akira was trying to make was. "I believe they all think you're all very strong. Not strong enough to beat them though." Sirzech spoke out loud, having a curious look at where Akira was going with this.
"Are we nothing more than mere, weak humans compared to you?" Akira asked. "Are we just low beings that are to be controlled and enslaved to your people?"
One of the Devils among the crowd seemed to snort. "As amusing as you are being, just what are you trying to tell us? Who are you to tell us what we should do?"
"…Okay, I'll tell you." Akira nodded his head. "After a few more questions however." He allowed the statement to sink in. "Just… three more questions. Are we afraid of you?"
As he asked this question, a holographic screen of green appeared right behind Akira. Seconds by second, images flashed back to back. Each display of a Shadow trying to attack them, presenting themselves before a fight was displayed on the screen. Behind all of it, Futaba was chuckling to herself at the presentation she was playing out.
"You're not the first bunch of Devils to come after us – oh – there have been so many. Devils, angels, monsters, you name them!" Akira gestured his hands out once more. But then he slowly began to have a knowing smile on his face. "But, onto the second question." He leaned forward. "Ever heard of the false god known as Yaldabaoth?"
Apparently, judging by how everyone stiffened, the name was well known. Whether it was for good or bad, it was not said. "And now the third and final question." Akira nonchalantly fiddled with his sleeves, namely the wrist area. "What happened to him?"
Walking off to the side and around, all of the high-class Devils were given a display of small scenes. Multiple flashes from a gatling gun were seen flickering on and off on Haru's face as she had her eyes narrowed towards a giant arm. The arm suddenly detached from a gigantic body as Futaba commanded Necronomicon's metal tentacle to grab and slam it against the large face. Makoto rode on Johanna, blue energy pelting the body continuously. Yusuke slid on a pathway of ice around the body thanks to Goemon, continuously firing his assault rifle without hesitation. Ann swung around on an arm due to her whip before flipping around and watching Carmen blast an arm off the body. Ryuji rode around on Captain Kidd's ship, continuously pelting the body with cannon balls and lightning. Morgana placed a Megido Bomb on an arm, jumping away while the blast extended the distance and Zorro enhanced the flames with winds.
The final images then showed themselves. A massive hole blown clean through the head of the massive body. The next scene was Akira pointing his gun in the direction of the crowd of Devils. All of the Devils were perhaps so immersed in the presentation that they all stepped back when they saw a gun being pointed directly at them.
But as soon as they did, Akira stepped right through the image. He was in his Phantom Thief outfit just like the image of him pointing the gun. But then when he went through the green, it suddenly disappeared. "Hello." Akira stuffed his hands into his pockets with a smile. "We're the Phantom Thieves."
All of them gathered right behind him. Morgana folded his arms with his blade attached to his back with a smirk. Ryuji had his staff resting right against his shoulders with a cocky grin. Ann grinned while stretching her whip in her hands. Yusuke slightly had his blade drawn, a cool expression worn. Makoto spun her weapons in her hands while being calm. Futaba mischievously snickered while folding her arms. Haru held her axe in one hand as the weapon rested on the ground with a straight look.
Not only that, but each of their Personas were out as well. Arsene. Zorro. Captain Kidd. Carmen. Goemon. Johanna. Necronomicon. Milady. Each one was right behind or next to their fellow self. It was truly an amazing yet terrifying sight at the same time.
"Basically..." Akira chuckled before looking over to the crowd with a confident look. "…Don't even think about it."
The fight was short, but I had a much more interesting time writing it than I expected. With that out of the way, SEASON 1 OF DXD IS FINALLY OVER! Now time to move onto Season 2. I wonder how long this will be.
Plus, the Phantom Thieves finally make their debut with a fight and speech. Wonder how this will turn out.
No flames please.
