Hey, everyone! New chapter getting out of the oven right to be serve! I hope you all like it!
As always, Highschool DxD does not belongs to me~.
Well, that fool did it.
He just used MY idea to come up with a new technique, and I must say... That makes me happy. Everybody says that the Phenex Clan are nothing but a house of arrogant fools, and that's partially right, but everybody wants our tears, so they have to suck it up!, and, true, my dear Granfather Lord Raiser was a... 'Prick', but now that he runs part of the Family business, with my dear Granduncle Lord Ruval as the current head of the Phenex family, he has some earned respect. That, and his record of just two unwilling losses in Rating Games in a lifetime.
I digress. Currently, I'm still at the Gremory House watching both the Gremory sisters's peerage fighting each other. More specifically, I'm watching the current Boosted Gear host fighting with Lady Nemesis's Knight, the ex-crusader wearing his holy Armor and pummeling his opponent with his faster-than-light punches. Huh, odd, usually, Lord Nero's punches are much faster than that. In fact. For some reason, this Rating Game has been taking too long for a match Against Lady Nemesis.
Usually, she ends things quickly...
*KNOCK-KNOCK!*
"You may come in." I said to the door behind me in the guest room, as I paused the transmission from the Demonic rune and looked to the door. It opened and revealed the smiley face of Lady Gremory, beside her a tall, fit and tired man with greying-blond hair and goatee and an X-shaped mark between his eyes and wearing a suit was standing. There he is, my honorable Grandfather Lord Raiser Phenex. "Lady Gremory, Honorable Grandfather. What gives the honor of your visit?"
"And there she goes speaking like that again. First Rhea, now her. Can't you see the pattern here, lord Raiser?" Lady Gremory said, tapping lightly the chest of my dear Grandfather. I snickered at that, but seeing grandfather approaching me made me shut myself up. I stood up from the sofa, and bowed to him once.
"Raven, your father asked me to pick you up. We should be taking our leave now." He simply said, with that ever present grin on his face, despite the fact that he has a missing arm. Wounds caused by the venomous spawns of 666(Trihexa) has that effect. However, his face faltered when he looked to behind me, to the Magic rune broadcasting the Gremory rating Game. He took a sit on the sofa, mesmerized by the sight in front of him, and stared oh so curiously to the frozen image of Lord Nero and Ikkun. "Oe, oe, what the hell? Who's that pipsqueak? And why does he have that?"
"Isn't that obvious, Lord Raiser? That's my daughter's queen, the new host of the gauntlet of the Red Dragon emperor, Tsukino Ichijou!" Lady Gremory said back, taking her time to sit beside me and take another look at the Young boy reflected on the rune. She looked so proud, while honorable grandfather(Ojii-sama.) grunted under his breath. "Bad nostalgia?"
"Believe it or not... Actually, no." Ojii-sama said, looking at the rune. He snapped his fingers, letting small sparkles fly off of them, and continued the transmission from before. He grinned again. "I'm actually really curious. What does that boy has stored for us?"
"Ojii-sama?" I trailed off while calling him. He hasn't being this lively in many years. Rhea-oto-sama said the first time he ever smiled after a while was when I was born, since I looked a lot like my late Grandaunt Lady Ravel. In fact, it was him who chose the name for me. Now, he was grinning like a true Phenex, full of confidence and borderline arrogance. He turned to me.
"Raven, darling, is that boy, perhaps, your boyfriend?" He said back, as a trail of blood ran down my nose. I think I just had a stroke. Lady Gremory, on the other hand, is smiling devilish. I was about to retort anything she would say, but when I saw flames behind Ojii-sama's back, I turned my full attention to him. He's angry. He's extremely angry.
"Absolutely not, ojii-sama. Ikkun and I... I mean, Tsukino Ichijou and I are nothing but acquaintances." I said, as deadpan as possible. Ojii-sama's flames calmed down, but Lady Alice pouted at me. Now I know from where Berolina's personality came from. In the end, I sat next to Ojii-sama to watch Ikkun's match. "But I want to see how far he can go. He has been training non-stop at Mt. Issei, it's only natural for him to archive a certain level of power."
"Hah! Of course he would be strong in a way." My grandfather said back, scaring me and lady Gremory. His outburst was unwelcome, even more by his following gloating. "There was only ONE other devil who defeated me in a Rating Games besides that scumbag Diehauser! One, which is probably still asleep inside that gauntlet! If HE could defeat me... It's only a given his successor can make a mark on Nemesis's knight."
And his expressions went from arrogant to pitiful and quiet. He's feeling down again. Poor Ojii-sama. I don't know if he's remembering his loss or the bishop of the said opponent, but now he's a little down. Not even Lady Gremory had the audacity to say something to that. We quietly returned our gazes to the rune, as flashes of two speed-type combatants was going on.
This reminds me. The only one who defeated Raiser-Ojii-sama besides Diehauser Belial was Lord Issei Hyoodou himself...

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!"
"Does every devil out there a manga aficionado?!"
It all happened so fast: first, Nero did nothing in his new form back at the gym. Despite the hulking size of his new weapon, he did nothing. When I tried to take the lead and hit him straight in the head, however, I was hit out of nowhere by something invisible. I tried and tried, but in the end, the sheer force of that unseen move made me be launched out of the room. Nero appeared right next to me outside, and since then, I'm trying to defend myself against his moves, his arms gone, now replaced by smooth, invisible gushes of wind.
"FEEL THE POWER THAT SURPASSES GODS! FEAR THE ALMIGHTY FORCE OF AN EX-CRUSADER! MY PUNCHES ARE NOT ONLY STRONGER, BUT THEY SURPASS THE SPEED OF LIGHT!" He ham it up, making me back up as he also slowly came closer and closer with each step. Faster than light, he says? Since I can't see them, no doubt that speed is absurd! I block one hit, at the same time he hits me in other ones. With just one punch, I feel the force of a truck hitting Rhongomiant. I can't keep up with him!
"Damn! One more time! [DIVING WYVERN...!]" using his own fists as boosts, I backed it in a jump, and pushing my Rhongomiant, I was about to unleash another wave of defensive force. Big mistake, as he closed the space between us in a second flat, and using both his fists, he hit me right in the stomach in a double punch, the powerful blown of that attack instead wracking everything behind me! In the end, my body went limp for a second, as Nero's armor blew a strain of steam out of the back of his helmet. I was just waiting for something to happen... Maybe everything went so fast, my body couldn't keep up with it...
"You did well, at least passable. Your strength improved, and I can't actually believe you keep up with my Stardust Crusader armor." The voice coming from the armor said, blowing another white steam out of the back of it's head. "But, unfortunately, I guess this is the end for you. I'm really sorry for this, but maybe with some more training, you'll be able to pass me. A few years and you'll definitely..."
*BAM!*
"Ugh...!" And he was cut mid-sentence when a staff passed through my shirt and hit him hard on the neck, with so much force he was launched away for a mile. Again, everything went so fast I ended up lost again, until a certain pinkerette appeared next to me, popping her head on my shoulder.
"Greetings and salutations, honorable Hong Long! It seems that that ex-crusader is indeed causing you an absurd amount of trouble. May I help you with this?" She said, I turning my head to behind me, and, shock, he had one of her fists sinked on my back, beside her monkey staff. So she was the one whom ease the damage from Nero's attack!
"Y-You...!" I said back, as I stepped away from her to stretch myself. So much adrenaline now gone, my whole body was kinda sore. "Uhhh... Thank-... No, you have my Thanks, Ryuubi-dono... I guess this is how you said it, right?"
*HUG!*
"You're absolutely, positively right, Hong Long!" She said hugging my head, burying me into her giant boobs. Not to mention, she's being too rough! She's almost breaking my bones! Damn it! That hurts! She soon dismissed the bone-shattering hug, and friendly-punched me in the chest, that one fixing the damage her punch from before made. Like I've said, she's alright. As long as she doesn't preach me about our little historical issues and jus general cultural clashes, I guess we can work together. "Now, away! Let us chase our dreams and destroy anything that stands in our way! If the wall in front of us is Nemesis-dono's peerage, so be it, as we will pass through them as well!"
"Easier say than done, lady. But let's... Let's try." I said back, as she gave me a thumb up and an enthusiastic smile. However, in another second, the fist of that giant armor was buried in her face, as another path of destruction was left on the floor by the other side. In just one instant, he crossed the path between the other side of the school and here! But Ryuubi-dono didn't even flinched at that! Instead, she continued to smile!
"W-What...?!"
"Well, well, aren't you a rude one? I was trying to talk with Hong Long Here and have a good ol'time, but it seems that Devils aren't very polite, are they?" She said, in another second picking Nero by the arm and tossing him to the ground, opening a crater next to me! She kicked him after that, and using her magic staff, she took her way to the direction he was kicked. "Hong Long! I'll take care of him! You go help the others!"
"Wait, what?!" And she was gone in the next second, as the ex-holy knight engaged in another match with the pink-haired girl, completely forgetting me. That's sad, somehow. But she did say to help the others, so I took my way to the nearest building to hide and maybe have an idea to where to g-...
*BAM!*
"Crap!" I cursed, rubbing my nose to cease the pain in it. Now what? The moment I walked the forth step, I bumped my face against something, and almost broke my nose with it. I looked again, but there was nothing there. Is that another barrier? I reached for a hand; and despite nothing visible there, I felt myself touching a wall. So, I'm in a barrier. Great.
"Nyahahahah~, that's cute. You figure it out fast, nyah~." I heard that voice from somewhere. It came from nowhere, as the voice echoed from every side of my body, like in a closed cave, but I could still hear it. I turned around, but there was nothing. I did it again, and yet nothing. This is freaking me out now. "Up here, nyah."
"What?" I lifted my head and really, that was a cute cat woman with silver hair and black eyes, wearing a Shinto priestess robe, standing right above my head! I summoned Rhongomiant again and tried to hit her, but she was faster and dodged it just in time. "You! Who are you?"
"A little rude, aren't you, nyah~." She said, smiling at me mockingly, as I could see now two silver tails sprouted out of her back. Wait, wait? Cat ears? Slit pupils? Two tails? She's definitely a nekomata!
"Huh, so... You're a nekomata." I said, as I simply stored my Rhongomiant back to it's pocket dimension and, out of nowhere, all the lights around us vanished, as a single flash descended upon me! "Nekomata! The demon cat! Born from a stray one, who lived alone for a hundred years! Accumulating spirits, always in contact with our Mother Nature, by living long lives, you've obtained knowledge of demon arts and the sage arts!"
"Oh-hoh. Right on spot and in the mood, nyah. Well, better go with the flow!" She said, as another spotlight came from the heavens to upon her. She picked a fan out of nowhere, and began her little kabuki show. "Yes! Nekomata, oh nekomata! Little spirits walking around earth. Nothing but the strays of the world. Devils, Angels, other factions wanting our knowledge, unaware of our power, our link with life! Fools!"
"Fools, indeed! 'Cuz thy link with the nature transcends physical form! You are one! Splendid fusion like no other!" I said, starting to pick things up. Shit. Mom, why do you made me watch all of those old kabuki shows? I'm having a bad feeling about it. "However, from where thou came? There was only a pair left of nekomatas according to the legends. Perhaps you came from the one who had the Predecessor of this gauntlet as her lover?"
"Stuck in mystery until now, I shall reveal myself as the one whom came from the other demon cat. The older sibling, the monster whom was chased for her beauty and crimes!" So she means Lady Kuroka and not lady Koneko. So I'm fighting the descendant of the primordial Nekoshou in recent history. That should be fun. We danced right next to each other, with stiff, calm, composed kabuki moves with each heavy step and hand Gestures. In the end, we faced each other, and sighed. "So... Huh... what's your name?"
"Ichijou. Yours?"
"Ginko, nyah."
"Fitting. Now let's BREAK SOME SKULLS!"
"ON IT!"
*BOOOOOM!*

[FAUST MICHAELIS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!]
The enthusiastic voice of Serena Sitri announced. So Nemesis's butler was defeated by that pink-haired weirdo. Now, she's fighting the Ex-crusader while Ikkun is now confronting the nekoshou of the Gremory house. And after that display of freaky nipponic culture, I'm waiting everything from them.
"A Gremory, a dragon, a holy knight, a forked cat and a blondie. Huh, Nemesis's peerage is indeed similar to her's." Ojii-sama said, cautiously watching the match as the now Nekoshou and the dragon clashed fists and swords, the translucid barrier enabling us to see perfectly the match.
"I know, right? Nemesis may argue with Rina a lot, but she's also a fan of the former Gremory team." Lady Geemory said, sipping on her tea. So far, so good. The teams were now numerically even, and by the explosions by the main building, I can see lady Nemesis's Alastor form, as she had now eight eyes and black appendices coming out of her back, like a spider's, while that seaweed-head and Berolina were sending traps upon traps on her...
"COME BACK HERE, RINA!" Screamed the eldest sister, her hot-bloodness easily reaching beyond a simple image in front of us. In front of her, there was the younger redhead and the ninja, dodging every sphere of Power of Destruction and setting more and more traps.
"You'll never win, NEMESIS! EVER!" She said back, as the ninja only turned her eyes in amusement. Speaking of amusement, where's lady Aria? She's an idiot, but the fearless good kind of idiot. The witch was fighting against the shaman and The descendant of the priestess of thunder and lightning, and the monkey girl was fighting now against Lord Nero. We shifted out attentions to the couple of weirdos, fighting at the speed of light. Again, he switched to his alter-form, and was dodging and defending himself against Lady Ginko's claws and senjutsu beams.
Wow, that last sentence sounded incredibly stupid.
"So, she's that criminal's offspring. I guess a rebel spirit can be inherit." Ojii-sama said, looking at the nekomata by the other side of the screen. Lady Gremory smiled.
"Yep. She has been training with Nashiro-chan since she was left in front of our door. She can be so fired up sometimes." The redhead said, as she sipped on her tea again. That one caught me by surprise. I knew that Lady Ginko wasn't one of the DxD children, like lady Akio and lady Aria, but that fact about being abandoned in front of the Gremory's door is new to me. "I was the one who picked her up. Cohen tried to eat her, but I stopped him."
"I-Is that so...?" Ojii-sama sweatdropped with me, as we couldn't believe that another new information.
"Cohen likes some Chinese..."
*BAAAAM!*
"Your own enemy is yourself, dragon. No mask is hiding your true self to the World anymore. You don't hesitate, you don't break. Impressive. Auntie Nashiro's tales were true, after all." We focused again on the images across the rune, and like I was expecting, Ikkun was doing pretty well. Despite the limited space, he could dodge and try any lucky shot against that Nekoshou. If one of those claws hit him, it's over.
Shit! I'm getting nervous! As the battle progresses Ikkun suddenly became tired, while Lady Ginko's natural senjutsu was healing her body and replenishing her stamina. Some lucky shots here and there, but none of them seems to give up so easily!
"How about this? The art of summoning plus the art of the sage! Face the power of the powerful dream cat!" The nekomata said, as she pointed her palm to the sky and a magic circle appeared there. Out of it, a giant lucky cat was summoned, as it landed right next to Ikkun, almost crushing him! It meowed a few times and soon disappeared, only to be summoned again on the Boosted Gear boy! He's gonna be crushed!
"IKKUN...!"
[BOOST!]
"Get this crap out of my face!" And before I could have an epileptic attack, Ikkun picked the handle of his sword with both his hands and pull it as far as possible. When that damn cat was about to land on him *BAM!* he hit it's rear area with all of his might, using his sword like a baseball bat! The cat almost on top of him screamed, as it was ejected away, up to one of the edges of the barrier, crashing there and breaking that part of it like glass! The giant summoning suddenly disappeared into dust, but when Ikkun tried to take a break, Lady Ginko appeared right next to him and picked him in a strong headlock! "Oh... Oh, crap!"
"Indeed strong. Using uncle's gauntlet. Not even close to him, but I can see that you're trying." She said in a monotone, but amused tone, as she tighten the grip around his neck. Ikkun is in trouble again! His neck wasn't protected, so she can easily suffocate him!
[NERO GLADIUS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!]
[AND AT THE SAME TIME, LIU BEI HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!]
Again, Serena Sitri announced, as I used my hands to direct the rune images back to where I last saw them. And there they were, at the football camp, standing in front of one another, in a giant crater and surrounded by wholes of the same magnitute. The monkey lady was a mess, and her staff was thrown away from her, but even with that, she landed a solid punch in his chest, shattering his holy armor and bursting him by inside. In the end, a Naked Lord Nero landed on his back, defeated, and soon the emergency escape spell took his body away. Before she could do the same, Lady Ryuubi lifted a fist to the heavens and smile.
"I HAVE... NO REGRETS DURING ANY TIME OF THIS MATCH!" She screamed, as suddenly a flashlight inexplicably descended from the sky upon her, and vanished as soon as she landed on her back too. There goes three pieces of Nemesis, and one for Berolina.
*BOOM!*
We turned to another section of the arena, where lady Akio and lady Nadja were fighting the purple-haired witch: despite her burned clothes, both of them were fine, as the witch, who was all messed up and bruised, it was only a miracle she was still standing.
"Well, I guess this marks the conclusion of our little tête-on-tête." Said lady Akio, as she used the knots of her fingers to lift her glasses back to in front of her eyes. "I'm a little afraid that if we keep up, my power might, I dunno, break you, so I guess we can end this here and now, since you'd hardly be any match for, let's say, my glasses, so I guess we can end here to stop any more humiliation for you. Not that your own behavior and performance weren't a total shame by themselves."
"Oh~!" Lady Tasha's face went blank with that harsh speech, as she landed on her knees and, defeated, fell on her back. She was incapacitated after that one. Nothing less from the daughter of the Himejima house, a true sadist. She seemed really happy in mind-torture her little witch opponent. As always, lady Najda came for her partner and laughed a little to light the mood.
[TASHA CAMPBELL HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!]
"Hey, hey, Akio, again too harsh. Would be better if you simply light her up." The black-skinned blond said, tapping lady Akio's shoulder in a friendly manner. Lady Akio tossed a glance at her, and smiled sheepishly.
"Yare, yare, stealing my fun as usual. This is not very nice, Nadja."lady Akio said. Instead of continuing the game, however, the pair simply sat on the ground and picked a pair of cup of tea from their hammerspace. This is really weird, it's like none of them are really taking this rating Game seriously. Lord Nero was holding back, either Nadja nor Akio seemed too interested now that their target was eliminated, and even Lady Aria seems out of conflict despite the fact that she could easily wipe out the floor with all of Berolina's peerage combined...
Then it hits me: none of them are really taking this seriously! They would trash then in seconds if they were! Hell, they would break that artificial reality if they went full force! I know this is for Berolina's sake, but somehow I feel offended by that!
"My, oh my, even with the power limiter, Rina's peerage still can't hold one against Nemesis's. This is sad, really." Lady Gremory said with a smirk, while Ojii-sama had that serious expression on that face, as we shifted to the struggling young man with the cat-girl stuck on his neck. Now she reached her legs to his hips and locked them on his stomach, cornering him from any attempt of escape. I was on the edge of my seat! C'mon, Ikkun! Just this one! You can do it!
"C'mon, Hyoodou... You're better than that... If you lose to a filthy youkai, this Raiser won't ever forgive you...!" Ojii-sama screamed under his breath, on the edge of his seat. He was sweating buckets, as Lady Gremory had an amused smile on her face. Ikkun was turning white now, as he gritted his teeth to held upon the remaining gasps of air.
"C'mon, Ichijou-nyan, just say 'I give up' and maybe we can have dinner together later, nyah." The nekomata by his back said, gripping even tighter on his neck and waist. He Boosted Geat announced another [BOOST!], this means he's still struggling. In the end, he fell on his knees, and opened his mouth.
"I-I... I..." He mumbled, as ojii-sama and I were ready to scream anything to encourage the helpless Sekiryuutei. It wouldn't work, but we were on our limit!
"Yes~... Go on... You what, nyan~...!"
"I... I... I'm really sorry for this."
"Wait, wha-...?"
*BITE!*
"NY-...!"
And silence. Everything went silent now. Not because Ikkun just mercilessly bit one of Lady Ginko's tail, but because the wail she let out was so deranged, so loud that the whole arena trembled, and even the transmission for the match went awry for a few seconds. Went it came back, Ikkun's face was back to normal since the arms around his neck weren't gripping there anymore. Lady Ginko's, on the other hand, went pale completely, looking like she just saw a ghos-... Oh.
"Yeow...!" She said, releasing the Booste Gear boy and kicking him in the rear. He ended up eating dirt but it was Lady Ginko who had the worst, as she was jumping in one leg, crying for her damaged appendices. "Owowowow! You filthy dog! You bit my tail!"
"You're the one who was chocking me!"
"You BIT my fucking TAIL!"
"Well, now, we're even!" I don't even know what he means by that, and personally, I don't want to. Lady Ginko shake her tail's matter off her system, and resumed her attack against the boy. However, since he was already in his [DRAGON SMASHER QUEEN] form, he simply dodged in time, reappearing right in front of her! Before she could even back up a few steps, BAM!, Ikkun just punched her again in the gut. She indeed retreat a few steps, but she was so stunned, she didn't even realized the boy in front of her again!
"Not good, Nya!"
"And now, face my ultimate attack against you! And whoever is watching this, tremble in fear as I unleash my trump card!" He bombastically said, as he morphed his Sacred Gear to the standard form, and out of the central jewel, a golden Spike appeared! He leaped forward, and without any hesitation, he hit Lady Ginko right in the middle of her chest! And then...!
...
...
Nothing.
"..." And really, nothing happened. We were on the edge of our seat on the sofa, ready to see any kind of big explosion or super attack, but in the end, nothing happened. Ikkun seemed also surprised, as he made a deadpan expression, waiting for something to happen. Lady Ginko was with her eyes closed, fearing the next attack, but she opened her eyes, and her expression soon turned into a mad one.
"Kuh! For a second, you got me there, nyah! Don't you dare do that again!" She said, slapping Ikkun away, as he landed a few meters away from her. He looked very exhausted, to the point he could in any second, as lady Ginko cracked her fingers! Oh no, this is not good! "It was fun, Sekiryuutei! Your power is still very low, but don't worry, one day you'll be as strong as uncle Issei! But until then...!"
*ZOOM!* *ZOOM!*
"Nyah...?" But before she could land the final blow, two, strange and original magic runes appeared right on her chest area, right in front of each of her breasts, to be more precise. "What's that, nyah? That's the first time I see a magic circle like that, nyah!"
"Tch..." And she shifted her attention back to the boy in front of her, as he took a deep breath, gulped a few times and shot his green eyes menacingly at her. Those eyes were so filled with determination! No fear or doubt! I'm... Scared, I'm really scared. "What did I say? That's my ultimate attack against you! In fact, this is my trump card against all females around the underworld! A technique that would make even senpai tremble in shock and fear!"
"What the... Do you plan to use [DRESS BREAK]?! You can't, nyah!" A little confused and perhaps scared, Lady Ginko backed up a few steps, as lady Gremory, ojii-sama and I were staring firmly at the rune in front of us. A technique that would make even the Hero of the Underworld, lord Issei Hyoodou, tremble in fear?! Is that even possible?! "I'm warning you! If you use it, you'll be disqualified for breaking the rules, Nya!"
"I know, but what I'm about to unleash..." And his own devil wings sprouted out of his back. The gravity around him deepened tenfold, and then he lifted his Boosted Gear to the heavens, as his thumb and middle fingers were on the verge of snapping, a magic rule right appearing there. "... Is much... Much WORSE!"
"I'll not let you do that in time, Nyah!" And lady Ginko also lifted her hand, and in a few seconds, a giant sphere of Sage energy gathered there, as she was about to toss at him. However, the frowned even more, and when she was about to toss that ball of energy at him, he did it!
"[LEVEL...]"
*SNAP!*
"[... ZERO!]"
*POP! POP!*
"What the...?!"
*PFFF...*
...
"A-Ah... This is...!"
"Unbelievable!" Said Ojii-sama right next to me, seeing such scene unfold right in front of his eyes! Even I can't believe it!
"Ginko-chan!" Lady Gremory called for her.
"She is... She is...!" The scene was so shocking, I couldn't bring myself to say it! But then, Lady Ginko completed it for me, screaming at the top of her lungs...
"FLAT! I'M FLAT! AAAAAAAH...! MY PRIDEFUL BOSOM IS GONE!" And it happened! With just a snap of his fingers, Ikkun used a new magic to pop Lady Ginko's bosom like a ballon! Now, she was completely flat! An AA at best! She's flat! She let go of her Sphere of energy to now touched her now-smooth chest and cry for them on top of her lungs!
"YES! I knew it! Breasts in the underworld are one of the most precious possessions! Money?! Power?! Territory?! This is nothing compared to the power of BOOBS!" While Lady Ginko completely lost it when her chest went to double-D to double-A, Ichijou boosted himself, smiling like an asshole to his opponent's misery. But it did not stopped there! From her now flat chest, white astral veils left her and flew to his direction, right into his Boosted Gear and when it reached him, his body suddenly began to glow. [BUST!], his Boosted Gear announced, as he used his newly-acquired stamina to stand straight. "NOW, FEEL THE MISERY OF BEING FLAT-CHESTED, NEKOMATA! FEEL IT AND SUFFER!"
"NYOOOOOOOOOOOOOH...!"
"AND NOW..." With the adrenaline running wild, Ikkun's Sacred Gear announced [BUST!] for the last time, as he gathered demonic energy on his hand and shaped it in a black ball. In the end, without a second less, he punched it with all of his might And blasted the nekomata away with a massive EXPLOSION! "AWAY WITH YOU!"
[EXPLOSION!]
"DRAGON SHOOOOOOOT...!"
*DOOOOOOOOOON...!*
"NYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH...!"
...
.
"Oh, nekomata, forked cat...
away from this match you go.
Flat as a cutting board."
- "The flat-chested cat", Tsukino Ichijou.
.
.
He did it... He actually did it...
[AND IN AN IMPRESSIVE TWIST, GINKO FROM THE NEMESIS TEAM IS ELIMINATED BY THE SEKIRYUUTEI! FLAT AND COMPLETELY BLASTED AWAY, SHE IS ELIMINATED BY THE SEKIRYUUTEI!]
"Well, he was right. That technique is indeed terrifying. Even lord Issei would cry in fear." Lady Gremory said. Despite her usual smile, I could see that she was trembling in fear, crossing her arms defensively in front of her chest. I tossed my gaze to ojii-sama...
"HAHAHAHAHAH...! HE'S SOMETHING ELSE, INDEED!" And now he stood up from his seat like a rocket, clenching both his hands in fists and trembling in excitement. He's now, both figuratively and literally, fire up!
Now, I'm between uncontrollable shaking and blazing determination, as I could see Ikkun taking his way to another place. When he was about to take the first step, however, he collapsed, completely immobile. I gasped, so did Lady Gremory and Ojii-sama, completely stopping their act. Oh, no...
Don't tell me...
"I... I can't..." I could hear him mumble, as suddenly a Gremory magic circle appeared under him. He looked confused, but the tiredness caught up with him, and he closed his eyes. Suddenly, a powerful gush of wind blew from the circle, and when it stopped, it took him a few seconds to stand up again, and when he did, Ikkun smiled devilishly. "Oh... It looks like I'm in the rating Game. Huhuhuh... This should be fun."
Huh? What's with that? Why did that happened? And those eyes... Under closer inspection, I noticed they were not Ikkun's, they were golden and mysterious. Without losing. Any second, That... Thing took it's way to another direction, but not before saying...
"Don't worry, Ichijou. I'll take care of this..."
Oh, curses. What is that? What happened to Ikkun? I looked at Ojii-sama, and he looked as clueless as me. I tossed my eyes to Lady Gremory, and she was indeed just as lost as me.
"Lady Alice, could you... Can you explain this to us?" Ojii-sama said. I turned to lady Gremory.
"I... I don't know. I'm just as lost as you, Lord Raiser." She said. In the end, she sighed, turned to us, and smiled. "But let's just watch and see what happens, right?"
Yes. She's right. Something tells me it's better to watch for a while.
I wonder what will happen...
And this marks at least one victory, a true one, for Ichijou. Let's give him a cup of tea for now, shall we? And as you can all see, i've been playing a lot of Guilty Gear lately, so I guess some references here and there can't be that bad, right? I'm just trying to have fun aroun, I hope I've not upset anyone. Another thing that I think it might be upsetting people is the fact that Ichijou has been screaming a lot lately, huh? Truth to be told, I was actually thinking him firstly as just a meek boy with no personality, but now, he's a walking ham, deflating boobs all around the corner no, huh?
...
Issei would be probably rolling out of his grave if he had one in this story, right? It was an interesting idea, take the most importance gimmick, or at least one of them, of canon and use it as a weapon. I hope you like it. Well. Nothing more to say, stay golden, y'all!
