Episode 12: I'm Keeping My Promise!-Part 2

The grand hall was filled with devil guests dressed prim and proper for the party, chatting with each other. Ravon was dressed in an indigo tuxedo and had his hair shiny and slicked back, grinning wide, holding his glass of juice up, and bragging, "My sister won a groom through a Rating Game, everyone! It was so obvious who was going to win from the start, but it was a good show nonetheless!" He laughed.

In the crowded room were Akihiko, Kabu, and Yumi. Akihiko had his long black hair in a low bun and wore a black, white, and gold kimono. Kabu was dressed in a black suit and tie and like Ravon, had his hair slicked back and shining. Yumi had her hair in a bun and wore a white halterneck dress with matching high heels and white arm gloves. She and the shouta carried glasses of juice as well. The blonde-haired beauty sweat-dropped and said, "Look at him bragging..." They both then drank from their cups.

"He must have forgotten that it was broadcast," said Sora's voice. Everyone turned and looked at him in a proper navy blue tuxedo. The Rook and the Knight stopped drinking.

"President Sora," Yumi greeted.

He smiled at all of them and stated, "With the results aside, the match was actually quite impressive-even surpassing above everyone's expectations." He closed his eyes and continued smiling.

"Why thank you for the compliment~," Akihiko replied, closing his eyes and smiling as well. "But there's no need to be so considerate." He opened his eyes as well as Sora, who looked puzzled to why he said that.

"We don't believe this is quite over yet," the blonde-haired female clarified.

"I agree," Kabu said as he drank once more.

No later than that, a ball of flames appeared and it dispersed, revealing Risa in a beautiful wedding gown. She wore a white veil, a golden necklace, a sleeveless white gown that showed off her cleavage with peach-colored puffy accents, matching puffy separate sleeves, white fancy gloves, and matching heels. She turned to everyone with a smile and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen~! The Phenex family is more than honored to have you all here~!" As Ravon closed his eyes and smiled big, she continued, "We invited you all here to share this historic moment where I, Risa Phenex, and the heir apparent of the Gremory house, Richard Gremory, formally announce our intent in marriage~!" The peerage looked at her a bit angrily. "So, without further ado~, please let me introduce my handsome groom...my emperor, Richard Gremory!" She extended her hand out next to her and looked at that direction. A red magic circle appeared and revealed the crimson-haired man in prim and proper tuxedo.

However, just as the magic circle disappeared, the door violently swung open, catching everybody's attention. There stood Issei herself, dressed in the Kuoh girls' uniform, panting and walking into the room with her bow and gauntlet out. Two guards were knocked out and on the floor. Richard gasped at the sight of her. She came? How the hell did she come?

"Isa?!" he exclaimed.

"President!" she shouted.

Annoyed to see her, Risa asked, "Who gave you the right to break in-"

"My name is Hyoudou Issei!" she interrupted her. "I'm a member of the Kuoh Academy Occult Research Club and I say that the President's virginity isn't yours nor is your virginity his! That belongs to me and mine belongs to him!"

Richard blushed hard and gasped. Everyone, especially Richard and Risa, could not believe she just said that. Risa's pupils shrunk and she yelled, "What the-how dare you!"

Ravon looked aghast, blushing and exclaiming, "What's this girl thinking?! Blurting out something like that?!"

She gritted her teeth and shouted to her other guards, "Seize her!" The female pervert was then surrounded by a few more guards, startling her.

Akihiko chuckled and asked, "Why don't we join in, then~?"

Yumi nodded. "Yes," she said.

Kabu also nodded. "Roger," he said. All of them then ran to the situation. Yumi got out an ice sword and hit one of the guards with it.

"Issei-chan, you can leave the guards to us!" she suggested.

As Kabu kicked another one of the guards, showing his small bulge and the top of his spotted underwear due to his dress jacket and shirt flying up, he said, "You're late."

Issei looked happy to see the two. After all, they were her allies. "Kiba! Kabu-kun!" She heard lightning and the zapping of many guards, causing her to turn and see that as they fell down unconscious, Akihiko was there.

"Eeto, eeto~," he said with a smile. "You're finally here~."

"Akihiko-san!" she exclaimed.

"Go, Issei-chan~."

She smiled at her allies and replied, "Yes!"

Both the finaces looked shocked at the situation. "What's going on?!" Risa asked.

"Richard-dono, what's happening?!" asked a woman.

"Well, it's just a little piece of entertainment I prepared," said another woman's voice as footsteps were heard coming to Richard and Risa's way. Everyone turned and saw no other than Sirzeca herself with Grafier at her side. She had long crimson hair and blue eyes. She wore shoulder and collar armor with golden accents on them and under them was a blue and gray cape. Her outfit was an elegant long-sleeved white dress with dark blue accents and white high heels.

Issei looked at her both in awe and confusion. Who is that? she wondered.

"Onee-sama?!" Richard asked in surprise.

The brown-haired female gasped. Wait! Does that mean she's-

"Sirzeca Lucifer-sama!" shouted an awed woman.

The Demon Lord?!

Risa became even more annoyed and asked, "Sirzeca-sama, what EXACTLY do you mean by entertain-"

She raised a hand up to her, silencing her, and answered, "Risa-sama, I must say that the Rating Game was very interesting to watch. However, against my little brother who was inexperienced and had only half the pieces, it WAS a bit..."

Risa narrowed her eyes at her. "What? Do you have any complaints about it?"

Sirzeca looked down and smiled. "Oh no, no, no. The Rating Game itself would be meaningless if I did have any. Not to mention that considering the circumstances involved this time..." She paused to look up at her, cross her arms, and finish, "My old family would be dishonored, wouldn't you say?" The yellow-haired woman froze up and gasped. The red-haired female smiled. "I wanted something a little flashy to happen for my little brother's engagement party." She then looked up at Issei and said, "Hey, you, young lady."

The Pawn stood stiff and replied, "M-me?"

"Yes," she answered. "I wanted to see for myself what powers a dragon possesses, so I had Grafier make the arrangements."

Risa got an idea of what she was talking about and smirked. "Oh~? So it's basically~..."

"The Dragon versus the Phoenix," Sirzeca stated. "Wielders of two legendary powers will be squaring off to make the party more exciting. As I heard what commoners say, who doesn't enjoy a good 'cat fight'?"

Issei gasped. This was it. She was going to fight Risa. No matter what it takes, she'll come off as the victor and bring Richard back...right?

Eye Catch #23: Richard is laying on his side on the checkered floor, his elbow propped onto the ground and his cheek leaning against his knuckles. He looks seductive, blushing and smiling, his eyes looking captivating. He's only wearing his tight, black, semi-transparent underwear, outlining his bulge. His well-toned chest is exposed as well.

Alright, what do you think?

If you want help imagining what Sirzeca looks like...imagine an older Rias. Yes, while you can imagine Richard looking like a younger version of Sirzechs, you can imagine Sirzeca looking like an older version of Rias. Sorry, but that's how I imagine them anyway!

Review, follow, favorite, and I'll see you in the finale!
