The Dragon's Hellcat Ch.8

~The Night Before Battle~

Issei left the house alone for a few hours to go on a walk, not really paying attention to where he was going he ended up at the same fountain where Raynare had killed him. Surprisingly though he was rather calm.

"Is this?" Asked Ophis inside his mind

"Yeah" replied Issei

"I think I'm finally ready to put it behind me, what Ayane said was true, and I refuse to let one bad experience ruin everything I have now. I'm grateful for all of them, every last one, especially Koneko. If it wasn't for her I don't know what I would have done that night, most likely something I'd regret. I might've never trusted anyone again" added Issei.

"What would you do if given the chance to face her again?" Asked Ophis

"I honestly don't know, I'd probably let her go, unless she hurt someone else I care about " replied Issei

"What if I wiped your memory of her? Would that help?" Asked Ophis

"I don't know, I want to forget but at the same time I don't. I mean it's because of what she did to Asia that drove me to grow stronger to protect the people I care about" said Issei

"I see" replied Ophis

"I should probably head back it's getting late" said Issei starting the walk back to his house"

~Scene Change~

When Issei arrived home he was greeted first by Irina, followed by all of the girls wearing see through lingerie.

"Welcome home Issei" said a cheerful Irina, wearing a see through white black and panty set.

"Yes welcome home Issei" said Ayane wrapping her arms around his neck from the side wearing a sexy bunny costume.

"What's going on?" Asked Issei admiring all of his beauties

"It was my idea, we wanted to make you happy before the fight against lame ass Sitri team" said Koneko wearing the same red and transparent white lingerie her and the girls wore the night before the fight with Diodora, the skirt hanging loosely on her waist showing her blue panties, her red dragon necklace sitting nicely into her now developing breasts, clinging to Issei's other side wrapping her arms around her waist.

Gura was wearing a blue one piece with her trademark shark teeth logo on her side.

Katase wore a white and pink polka dot two piece.

Murayama wore a black two transparent two piece with a present bow on the front of her panties

Lilith wore a simple black two piece, copying Koneko she clung to Issei's front.

Ravel wore a blue transparent two piece.

"Thank you girls, but you really didn't have to this"

"So Issei, who's set do you like best?" Asked Ophis from his arm out loud prompting the girls to look at him waiting for an answer, this caused Ddraig to laugh maniacally inside his mind.

"I love them all I can't choose" said Issei with a smile

"Well I'm sleeping with my Issei tonight," said Koneko, clinging to him tighter.

"Me two" said Ayane

All of the other girls wanted to sleep with Issei as well, which like usual caused them all to start arguing. Koneko between inches away from two piecing Ravel, Katase and Murayama almost came to blows with each other, Ayane, Gura, and Lilith just sat there watching the chaos

"Well why don't we expand the size of the bed so you all can sleep with me tonight?" Said Issei

Everyone agreed.

~The Next Day: The Rating Game Part. 1~

Issei and the Peerage arrived at the battlefield which, like with the fight against Riser, was a replica of the school grounds, their base was ORC, Sona's was the student council room.

"Alright, let's have fun and whoop some sophisticated ass!" said Issei

"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison

"Ayane remember, don't kill them" said Issei to the purple haired Ninja who was sporting her black hooded leotard with a white chest plate, she nodded.

"Like Bane once said, let the games begin"

~Music Start: War Pigs~

Ayane opened the window and jumped out onto a nearby tree prompting Katase and Murayama to follow, which they did.

Gura with her Trident in hand tapped it on the ground causing a flurry of bubbles to surround her, when they popped she was gone and she teleported to the gym.

Koneko and Kuroka left out the back door disguised as normal cats.

Issei and Ravel stayed back at the orc for the time being, each understanding the plan.

Rias and her peerage, along with Lilith could be seen watching from the stands

~POV: Ayane, Katase, and Murayama~

Ayane, Katase, and Murayama could be seen sticking to the shadows, as Ayane led the way following the ki of Saji, soon enough she spotted him, accompanied by Tamoe, they were headed toward the orc attempting to be sneaky.

Ayane sent a nod to the two kendo girls, Ayane then threw an exploding kunai at the ground in front of the pawn and knight of the Sona peerage, soon enough *BOOM!* it exploded causing Saji and Tamoe to jump back.

~Music Change: Prismatic Butterfly (Ayane's Theme)~

Ayane, Katase, and Murayama then jumped from their branch in front of Saji and Tamoe.

"Katase? Murayama? What are you two doing here?" Asked Saji in surprise.

"We're Issei's pawns" said Murayama, drawing her katana

"And your opponents," said Katase, drawing her katana as well.

"And who are you?" Asked Tamoe

"I'm Ayane Mugen-Tenshin, Issei's knight, prepare" replied Ayane drawing her dual fuma kodachis.

"Well I'm Meguri Tamoe, Knight of Sona Sitri" replied Tamoe, drawing her Blazing Shining Aura Darkness Sword.

"And in case you didn't already know I'm Saji Genshirou, Pawn of Sona Sitri" said Saji, summoning his vritra sacred gear on his arm.

Both sides got into battle positions waiting for the other to make the first move.

Suddenly Saji dashed at the two kendo girls sending a punch toward Katase which was blocked by her free hand, Katase responded by sending a spinning back kick to Saji, he dodged it.

Murayama then threw a right punch to Saji who managed to block. Saji, and the two kendo girls kept exchanging blows and countering each other.

~POV: Ayane~

Meanwhile Ayane dashed at Meguri, performing a 360 clockwise spin Ayane sent her right kodachi down toward Meguri's head, but he blocked it with her blade pushing Ayane back, Ayane responded by performing a counterclockwise spin sending a side slash with her left, but it was a fake she stopped half way prompting Meguri to reach to block it, resulting in Ayane jumping and kneeing her clean in the face *CRACK!* sending Meguri crashing to the ground.

Meguri got up and charged at Ayane once more, jumping in the air she sent a downward slash at Ayane, which she effortlessly dodged, sheathing one of her kodachis Ayane responded with a backwards open palm strike toward the back of Meguri's head, which she vaulted away from before getting back to her feet and running at Ayane once more.

Ayane didn't wait as she ran at Meguri, using her momentum Ayane performed a cartwheel sending a kick toward her head, Meguri blocked it, however while still on one hand spinning from being pushed back with one of her kodachis in hand Ayane slashed Meguri's leg cutting her, continuing to spin Ayane pushes herself feet first kicking her in the gut sending her falling backwards into a tree.

"How boring" said Ayane nonchalantly, taunting Meguri as she got to her feet once more.

Meguri rose to her feet once more using all the speed she has, sending a series of slashes, Ayane dodging each attack traps Meguri's sword between her fuma kodachis and knees her right in the gut landing a critical blow disarming her, Ayane wasted no time, sheathing her swords and covering her hands in a pink aura, she spins beating Meguri with a series of punches and kicks to her face, and stomach before kicking her sending her back.

Wasting no time Ayane performing a series of gestures with her hands imbues herself in a massive pink aura, "On Basara yakusha un" she says before firing engulfing Meguri in a shockwave of ninpo energy knocking her out.

"Knight of Sitri Peerage Retired" announced Grayfia

~Meanwhile, POV: Katase and Murayama~

Katase and Murayama were keeping up with Saji, rather well in fact they were managing to push him back, their attacks perfectly coordinated made it hard for Saji to keep up.

Eventually Saji jumped back managing to create space before firing his absorption lines, he caught Katase and Murayama but after struggling for a bit they focused their holy aura into their Katanas and cut his lines, causing him to fall backwards.

They both promoted themselves to knight and used their speed to dash toward the grounded Saji, swinging their swords downward at incredible speed Saji barely managed to roll out of the way before getting back to his feet, but they didn't let up, Katase stepped onto Murayama's hand, and Murayama spun Katase at insane speeds and threw Katase at Saji.

At Katase flew at Saji she sheathed her Katana and promoted herself to rook and cocked her fist back preparing to throw a punch directly into Saji's chest, but Saji promoted himself to knight and quickly dodged sending Katase flying past him quickly repositioning herself to land on her feet, little did Saji know that was just a distraction to get him to turn his attention away from Murayama.

As Saji was preparing to attack Katase back he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, he looked down to see the end of a katana blade covered in holy energy coming out of his stomach, Murayama had stabbed him in the back with her katana causing him to scream and cough up blood, but they weren't done, Katase while being promoted to rook started whaling on Saji with a series of right and left punches causing him to fall to his knees due to the pain from the sword as well as the pinkette beating his ass, when Saji fell to his knees Katase kneed him clean in the face causing him to start to fall backwards, but he was stopped by the foot of Murayama who pulled her sword from Saji's back and pushing him with her foot causing him to fall face first as the blue light started to cover his body before he was announced retired from Grayfia.

~Music Change: Carnage by Jazmin Bean~

Katase, and Murayama sheathed their weapons before walking away with Ayane all with smirks on their faces.

"Now let's watch and see how the others are doing" said Ayane,

"We're gonna go watch the nekomata sisters" said Katase and Murayama, receiving a nod from Ayane

"I'll go watch Gura, I'm curious to see what kind of things she can do" replied Ayane receiving a nod before they went their separate ways.

~Chapter End~

Author's Notes:

Responding to Comments:

DD4Life: I know the story by heart, but you are wrong about the creation of the Khaos Brigade, the whole point of the Khaos Brigade was originally to defeat Great Red, and was created by Ophis itself to do so, this is common knowledge.

Secondly, I'm well aware of the origin of Lilith in the original timeline, but the great thing about this being FanFic written by me is I'm the author which means I can do whatever I want with the story.

As for Ophis cloning herself in this story, it's an ability that I as the author gave her so it is one of her abilities, same thing with me having her name her clone Lilith because I as the author wanted it.

As for me calling the Sona peerage trash, this story is going by the events of the anime, so the rating game against Sona never happened. Also compared to Issei and his peerage in this story hell even compared to Issei atp in the canon timeline wouldn't stand a chance, she has brains yes but not nearly the strength to beat Issei in a fight.

HatsuneRin: Glad you're enjoying the story thus far, I don't know much about DmC so I won't really give her the traits of Dante or Vergil, in this story she's more or less here as a gag character with water/ocean centered abilities, as well as toon-verse logic which you will see in the next chapter what I mean by that.

Surai98: Rossweisse will remain in Rias's peerage just like Asia, and Xenovia. As for Ingvild it's too early for her, also I already have an idea on where I wanna take this story so she won't be a part of it.

For those of you don't know about Ayane's Ninpp attack allow me to explain:

Her Ninpo attack is known as: Art of the Raging Mountain God

The Art of the Raging Mountain God is the Ninpo used by Ayane in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge.

A secret and most powerful Mugen Tenshin Hajimon technique. Chanting the incantation and performing the gestures imbues the body with the aura of all nature and creation, allowing them to release an earthquake-like shock wave that pulverizes surrounding enemies. The actual amount of aura generated is directly proportional to the psychic energy of the caster; a powerfully focused individual can use it to move heaven and earth, while a less spiritually advanced individual may find themselves sucked into the raging vortex of pure energy generated by their own spell.

This technique was first seen used by Ayane in the ending FMVs of Dead or Alive 4 where Ayane uses it counter a trap set by DOATEC soldiers. Since then it has become a staple technique of hers, reappearing in the fanmade Dead Fantasy series; again used by Ayane. It wasn't until Ninja Gaiden Sigma II, however, that the technique was actually named.

In Ninja Gaiden Sigma II/Plus, this ninpo is useful when surrounded by enemies, as it knocks back all enemies within the radius and on lower levels, it will delimb enemies very easily while on higher levels, it will kill some normal enemies.

As always please like and review,

The next chapter will be part.2 of the battle
