This is the 14th chapter of the crossover story. I don't own the series of High School DxD or the video game of Final Fantasy 13.
No flame reviews, seriously it's a bad rep and I have no tolerance what so ever.
Gamerman55: Okay first, I think the word you're looking for is 'Snow White' not 'Snow Wife.' Second, as for where the nekoshou's are taken refuge in Gran Pulse. I don't know, but as far as the location goes, it might be in between New Bodhum, Academia, Yaschas Massif, or Sulyya Springs. I'm only guessing as I go along.
Rating Game Field
"Impressive, Virgil Farron." Yubelluna called out with a genuine smile, making Virgil, Issei, and Koneko see her hovering in the air. "To think that you were eligible to cast speed magic and catch the Rook in the blink of an eye. However, Riser have ask of me to stall you due to your immediate threat to him."
Virgil was glaring at her with anger which he can understand that Yubelluna was only following orders. Both Koneko and Issei glared at Yubelluna as his fist shake with anger.
"Dammit, we saved your sorry butt and this is the thanks we get!?" Issei shouts with anger. "Why don't you try it against me!?"
"Calm down, Issei." Virgil assured him, raising his arm. "It's understandable Yubelluna, that you were following orders from someone who you now despise. He couldn't even get his hands dirty since he kept hiding underneath the ladies skirt."
Issei tried to stifle his laugh from Virgil's remark, along with Koneko and Yubelluna, but her expression have turned to regret. But Virgil kept looking at her with his death gaze.
"I don't want to fight against my life debt, Virgil." Yubelluna told him. "But Riser is watching this even now. He hopes to send all of us to weaken you so that he can finish you one you and Rias' Peerage are weakened."
"Let him try." Virgil said. "Cause I tricks under my sleeve. But first, we'll fight you."
Before either of them could act, Akeno appeared, floating down from above and positions herself in front of Virgil, Issei, and Koneko.
"Well, this is exciting." Akeno commented.
"Akeno!" Issei called out.
"Issei." Akeno said as she turned to face them. "I can take care of this trash you go on ahead, okay? Oh and don't worry, I'll be sure to take care of her."
"A Queen against a Queen, how exciting." Yubelluna said with intrigue.
"I'll be fine, just go." Akeno told them as her body was cloaked with yellow aura.
"Whatever you say, just get her." Issei said as they ran, but Virgil stayed behind.
"Hey Akeno!" Virgil called out, getting her attention. "Conductivity."
Akeno gave him a nod as he rushed towards Issei and Koneko which she knows what Virgil meant about that move. It was a tactic that both Hope and Vanille have taught her during training.
"I've been wanting to fight you for what seem like ages, Priestess of Thunder." Yubelluna said with a smirk.
"Oh, have you?" Akeno asked with a smile, placing her hand on her face. "That's sweet, but the pleasure is truly mine, Bomb Queen."
However, Yubelluna scowled as her body was cloaked with violet aura.
"I distaste that title." Yubelluna said as she glare at Akeno. "Enough talk. Let's see who's the strongest Queen."
As two Queens were getting into their aerial combat, Virgil, Issei, and Koneko were approaching the border of the forest.
(Three of Riser's Pawns: Retired)
When they heard the announcement, Virgil figured that it was Kiba's work while Issei was shocked that he heard of the announcement. Virgil stopped them when he raised his arm as they heard the sound of the footsteps as he sensed the aura. Within a second or two, it was Kiba.
"It's alright." Virgil told them. "It's just Kiba heading our way."
With that, Kiba stumbled through the bushes for a moment, entering the view. After regaining his composure, he looked towards the group."
"Hey." Kiba greets with a smile.
"Good to see you're in one piece." Virgil replied.
"Good to see you, Kiba." Koneko responded.
"Kiba, you're okay." Issei said with relief. "Wait, those three outs, was that you?"
"Yeah, thanks to Akeno's barrier." Kiba answered. "She made it pretty easy for me."
"We better get to the athletic field before they get to us." Virgil said with serious expression.
Issei, Kiba, and Koneko nodded as they headed towards the athletic field while proceeded to move quickly.
Underworld, Viewing Room
Meanwhile few minutes ago, Lightning and the others were impressed of how much Rias, Virgil, and the peerage were progressing through the amounts of training from 10 days ago. Gadot was pretty excited for the action which the suspense was killing him, but Yuj and Maqui were trying to calm him down since he got impatient few minutes ago when noticed that Rias' team made their move which that got him excited.
They were impressed that Koneko have gotten flexible and coordinative thanks to Snow's and Kuroka's training, but they got to see Virgil fighting against Xuelan in hand-to-hand combat which she wanted to see of how strong he was. For what she failed to realize was that Virgil have fought against monsters in Gran Pulse and he learned well of how to use magic in combat and that got Gadot up on edge since he gave Virgil a cheer along with NORA members, Lightning and Serah couldn't help but laugh a bit of this display, along with Sirzechs, Serafall, Kuroka, Vanille, and Fang. However, they saw Issei was running for his life since the twins were chasing him with their chainsaws, but they've gone after Virgil which he fended them off with his Blizzard magic while Issei used his technique called 'Dress Break' which Lightning and the others were pretty disappointed at that move Issei have used.
"Man, I can't believe that perverted loser come up with that move." Gadot said with disgust. "That was lame."
"But what matters was that Issei have stop those girls in their tracks since they were trying to kill Virgil." Fang said with a sigh. "So yeah, it's quite disappointing."
"Hold on, they're heading out of the gym." Noel said, pondering. "Whatever they're planning, they better do it fast."
Which Noel was right about it when they noticed that the gymnasium was destroyed by the massive lightning strike, leaving them shocked.
"No way!" Maqui said with his jaw dropped. "How did that happen!?"
"That must be Akeno's work." Hope answered. "She's very talented with magic and she's well-versed with lightning magic."
"That's right." Serafall said with a smile. "There's a reason why Akeno was entitled as 'Priestess of Thunder' was because she destroys the entire structure with only one strike and she loves to destroy things."
That got the NORA members, except Snow, shocked when Serafall have told them about Akeno.
"That leaves Riser only 12 pieces now, but Rias still have disadvantage." Lightning said with serious expression. "But with Virgil by her side, she might be able to pull it off."
"Oh? And why is that?" Sirzechs asked curiously.
"Because, Snow, Hope, and I have taught him how to fight." Lightning told him. "We taught him magic, gunblade, and combat when he was 5 years old."
"Plus, Riser just has no idea of what Virgil was capable of." Snow added with a smirk.
"Virgil can beat him." Nora said with a smile as she watched her cousin on the monitor screen. "He'll win this."
"That's right, Nora. Your cousin will beat Riser and knock him into next week." Serah said to her daughter.
Both Sirzechs and Serafall were shocked that they support Virgil and wanted Rias to win her first Rating Game against Riser as they form a smile on their faces as they watch the match.
Rating Game Field
Virgil, Issei, Kiba, and Koneko were hiding inside of the athletic storage room for a little breather. That should give them for time to breath and think of a strategy since their still outnumbered due Riser's complete set which he has 9 pieces left for the Rating Game.
"Riser has only got 9 pieces left which we might be able to pull it off for the win." Virgil told them with his back against the wall next to the entrance door that was cracked slightly opened, watch out for the Phenex Servants in case if they need to either make a run for it or fight their way out.
"We might, but remember they're battle experienced in the Rating Game." Kiba told him with serious expression. "However, with you on our side, we might pull it off."
Remaining silent for a moment, Issei raised his fist next to Kiba with a smirk on his face.
"I don't care how, but we're gonna win this." Issei said, earning a nod from Koneko and Virgil.
"You damn right we are." Kiba agrees with a smirk as he fist bump Issei.
"Virgil, Koneko, Kiba, Issei, do you read me?" Rias' voice was heard over the comm.
"Loud and clear." Virgil answered.
"I'm launching a sneak attack on their base with Asia, I want you to draw as many of the enemy away from the entrance as you can to buy us time." Rias explains.
"Was that safe?" Issei asked with concern, leaving Virgil, Kiba, and Koneko troubled about Rias' decision.
"Rias, what you're planning was suicide." Virgil said seriously. "Riser will be expecting you from that move you're planning to pull. We were lucky that Koneko was still here and we don't want to lose you in the Rating Game, you need to re-think of that strategy."
"I know that, but I'm left with no choice." Rias told him seriously. "I was planning to give Akeno some time to recover so she can blast them one-by-one, but now, Riser sent his Queen, so I need her focus there."
"I have to agree with Virgil." Kiba spoke up. "It's too risky to have the King leave the base."
"With any luck, Riser will be thinking along the same lines." Rias answered. "Here's hoping I can take him by surprise. If we can strike him hard and strong enough, we might just be able to take the fight out of him and win. His body maybe immortal, but his heart is not. And trust me, I will have no problem whatsoever breaking that Devils black heart."
Rias may seem confident, but to Virgil, what she's planning was a bit foolish. As far as he knows, only he can strike Riser own with his own magic but he can only counter Riser's flame magic which he also has a surprise for him. But Riser's Servants needs to be taken cared of first, even if it means fighting against Siris and Ravel.
"Just be careful, Rias. We'll join you as soon as we can." Virgil said, sighed with defeat. With that, the comms were cut off.
"Well, since that's decided. Let's show them what the Occult Research Club could do!" Issei said with a smirk.
"Balls to the wall, my friend!" Kiba nods with the smirk.
Virgil, Koneko, Kiba, and Issei ran out of the athletic storage room and arrived in the track and field section, which was behind the school. Then they stopped a few steps as soon as they go on. With their backs against another, they scan their surroundings which they see nothing. However, they knew they're not alone.
"We know you're out there Ravel, Siris." Virgil called out. "Come out now!"
There was no response until they heard a laughter to the right. A large dust cloud rolled across the field in front of them before a silhouette of a figure could be seen within. Once the cloud of dust was cleared out, it was a Knight from the House of Phenex.
She's a young woman with light brown hair and green eyes. Her outfit consists of a full set of silver armor with black accents that appears to be a cross between a European Knight (chest plate, gauntlets, and greaves) and a Japanese Samurai (hip plates and shoulder guards), and wears a headband that goes across her hair and forehead. She's equipped with a broadsword and a dagger, both of which are held with brown belts slung across her hips. The broadsword is slung on her left hip, and features a red jewel on the pommel and has bandages across the handle for grip. The dagger, which is located behind her right hip, features a gold hilt with bandages on the handle.
"I am Karlamine, a Knight in the Service of Lord Riser." Karlamine introduced herself, with a hand on the handle of the broadsword. "To be perfectly honest, requesting to be attacked by us makes me question you sanity. Although, far be it for me to refuse an idiot who's reckoning."
With that, Karlamine unsheathe her sword, getting into her fighting stance as the sword was engulfed with flames.
"I am Kiba Yuuto, a Knight in the Service of Lady Rias." Kiba introduces as he draws out his sword, getting into his fighting stance. "I sure hope you're ready, I've been looking forward to battling another Knight. Can't wait to get started."
"Very well said, En garde Knight of Rias Gremory!" Karlamine said with serious expression as she charge after Kiba with her speed while Kiba charge after Karlamine with his own speed, clashing against each other.
With such godlike speed, both Knights clash their blades. Appear and disappear everywhere, their bodies were a blur, with Karlamine and her flame sword being the only noticeable. They would only be seen when the swords were clashed, which would last for at least half a second before disappearing again.
"Awesome, guess it be rude to get in the middle of it." Issei said with awe.
"Plus, you'll be busy." The voice said as Virgil, Issei, and Koneko looked to their right, seeing another Rook.
She's a woman with short, long brown hair and grey eyes. Her hair has three red highlights across, and wears a plain white mask which covers her right side of her face. Her outfit consists of a black jacket and matching jeans. The jacket has wide shoulders and a wide collar, and features three leather straps on both her arms. It's also slightly open, revealing her rather large-breasts and cleavage, and it is cut off at her midriff. Her jeans have a section (on her right pant leg) cut off, revealing some of her thighs and rear end, and also features three leather straps on her calves, just below the ankles and two extra leather straps on her right pant leg to keep it in place. She also wears black fighting gloves and boots to enhance her blows.
"Oh, that Karlamine!" The voice revealed to be Ravel as the three looked at her. "Her head is filled with nothing but swords, swords, swords, it's freaking ridiculous. She's way to bothered by those others Pieces that my brother have sacrifice too. Oh well, I guess it's not my business."
"Ravel, is that you?" Virgil said, getting her attention as she blushed.
"V-V-Virgil!?" Ravel shouts with shock as she regain her composure. "It's good to see you again, Virgil. I wasn't expecting to fight against you in the Rating Game."
Virgil nods with an understanding as Siris revealed herself from behind Ravel.
"It's good to see you, Virgil." Siris said with a smile. "But let me make this clear, I'm not going to show you any restraints for I won't hold back."
"Not expecting you to, Siris." Virgil said with a smirk. "I was looking forward to fight against you."
When they look on Ravel's left side, which happens to be nekomata twins, leaving Virgil shocked.
Two young girls, appearing to be in their teens. They sport similar appearances despite being twins, but the major difference being the girl on the right was red eyes and blue hair while the other on the left was blue eyes and red hair. Also, the blue nekomata ties her hair in ponytail, while the red nekomata has hers in a braid with a pink bow tied in the end. Both of them had brown cat ears with black stripes. They also wear piercings with the red nekomata having two gold earrings on her left ear and the blue nekomata have blue colored ones on her right. Similarity, both of them have fang sticking out of their mouths, with the blue nekomata having hers on the left, the red nekomata having hers on the right, thus mirroring each other. Both of them wear short skimpy, sailor uniforms that reveal their abdomen, shoulders, and lower breasts, and wear short black skirts. They are also shown to tie their orange ascots in different ways respectively. Also, they're always seen wearing red and blue fighter's gloves and leg guards matching their hair colors respectively.
On their right side was a young girl who most notably is always seeing wearing a kimono with a color pattern purple, orange and pink with her hair tied on the opposite side.
Kiba noticed that the rest of Riser's Peerage have revealed themselves out of the opening while battling Karlamine.
'Looks like they've brought out all of the remaining pieces.' Kiba thought with impressed smirk. 'Way to go Rias, you guessed right.'
Kiba noticed both Rias and Asia were hiding while trying to sneak their way inside of Kuoh Academy as the two moved quickly while Riser's Peerage were distracted.
"Care to explain yourself about those two nekoshou's?" Virgil questions. "I thought they were in Gran Pulse."
"They What!?" Ravel said with a shout. "What do you mean by that?"
"You see, Mr. Esthiem's invention have gone wrong which it got haywire on him in Academia." Virgil explains. "What he was trying to make was a machine that can make portals, in order to travel different worlds. The problem is that the machine accidentally opened to the House of Naberius which that was where those nekoshou's were at, they were planning to close the portal, but the nekoshou's were heading inside of the portal since they were desperate for a reason and they were here in my home planet."
That got them shocked with widen eyes since the nekoshou's have disappeared into Gran Pulse instead of being killed by Devils in the Underworld which it explains about there disappearance.
"I see, so that explains why they haven't found those nekoshou's." Ravel said with an understanding. "But were off the main topic here, but first, when I've heard about Kuroka's innocence, I was shocked that the House of Naberius would do something so cruel to those nekoshou's and Kuroka since both Lord Sirzechs and Lady Serafall have shown information to the Devil Council. They were furious about his true actions and they wanted to thank you for standing up to Kuroka that no one else have."
Virgil gave her a nod as Ravel continues.
"Secondly, I wanted to let you know that not all of the nekoshou's have come inside of your home planet, Gran Pulse." Ravel told him as she revealed those twins. "These two nekomatas are Ni and Li, these two were taken in from my brother even though he was using them for his own pleasure, but the point is when I told them about Kuroka's innocence, they were convinced and wanted to thank you upfront."
With that, both Ni and Li walk towards Virgil as they bow to him with respect.
"Thank you for helping Kuroka, Virgil Farron." Ni and Li thanked him in unison, getting a nod from him.
"Now with that out of the way, we're still in the middle of the Rating Game. Don't think that we're planning to hold back on any of you." Ravel said with a smirk.
"We're not expecting you too, I hope you're ready to get your hands dirty." Virgil said with a smirk as he draws out his gunblade. "Cause I'm still itching for fighting against you."
Siris walk towards him as she draws out her Zweihander, getting into her fighting stance. Virgil used his paradigm to commando as they both clash against each other which it created a small shockwave. Both Siris and Virgil were blocking and parrying each others attacks.
"Isabela, deal with this Rook." Ravel ordered, getting a nod from her as she approaches Koneko.
"My name is Isabela and I'm the Rook in the Service of honorable Riser Phenex." Isabela introduces herself with serious expression. "Prepare yourself to fight, Rook of Rias Gremory."
With that, both Isabela and Koneko began to clash against each other with their fists, blocking and parrying each others attack, but Koneko was using her reflex as she counter with her leg sweep, causing Isabela to fall down to the ground while Koneko used her axe-kick on her stomach, causing her to gasp for air. Koneko then grab Isabela legs as she positioned into the Boston Crab move, but Isabela manages to recover as she used her legs to push Koneko while getting up as they both clash each other once more.
"Man, these two are at it." Issei said as he activates his Boosted Gear. "I guess I have to fight those girls."
"Ni, Li." Ravel called those twins. "Time to fight against the Pawn of Gremory."
The nekomata twins nodded as they jump in to fight against Issei as he leaped out of the way as he gets into his fighting stance.
"What the hell!? Why couldn't she fight!?" Issei demanded. "What's wrong with her!?"
Isabela heard of his outburst as she blocked a punch from Koneko, but she still felt considerable pain shoot through her arm.
"She's serving this battle as a Bishop." Isabela explains while fighting. "But the most part, she likes to watch."
"Why?" Issei questions while having trouble fighting those twins.
"Because that girl you're talking about was Ravel Phenex." Virgil cuts in while fighting against Siris as he pushed her with enough force as used his paradigm to switch commando to sentinel. Siris was charging after Virgil once more, but he activates his Steelguard while holding his defense position. "Ravel is one of the Phenex Family Household, but she's also Riser's younger sister."
"His sister!?" Issei exclaimed, but got punched by the twins, causing him fell down to the ground.
"Riser doesn't have a thing for his sister." The twins told him in unison. "The reason why she was a part of his Peerage was because she needed something to do."
That got Issei shocked as he spoke.
"Well, that bastard is a sicko and a top of being a tool." Issei said with a glare as his face plastered with perverted grin. 'Although to be fair, I get why he'd wanted her in his harem, sister or not.'
But Issei manages to dodge the twins combination punch as they attempted to assault him, but Issei weaved around them safely. He then kicked Li in the back, which she was the closest.
Meanwhile, both Kiba and Karlamine were engaged in an intense sword fight which she ignited her sword with flames while Kiba activates his Holy Eraser ability, causing his sword turned to dark. The two of them clashed fiercely a few times before Kiba's sword broke in half.
"Gah! My Holy Eraser!" Kiba said with shock.
"Unfortunately for you, that attack doesn't work against someone like me." Karlamine said with serious expression, ready to strike.
"Oh really!? What about this one!?" Kiba interjects as he unleashed his ability. "Freeze!"
With that, his sword became completely ice, much to her shock.
"You've gotta be kidding, there's no way you have two Sacred Gears!?" Karlamine exclaimed with shock as she regained her composure while began to charge after him. When both their blades clashed, Karlamine's sword was frozen due to Kiba's ice sword. She threw her sword hilt away, draws out her dagger while leaping at him as she was about to strike in mid-air.
"No matter, I still control flame and wind and life, as to all from the House of Phenex!" Karlamine shouted as she struck down his sword, leaving his ice sword destroyed. However, Kiba draws out his other sword began to form into a hallowed out, diamond-shaped section at the top.
Karlamine was shocked as Kiba unleashed his sword's ability when the small black orb appeared in the diamond-shaped sword. It then began to suck away all the flames that were wrapped around her dagger.
"No Way! How Many Sacred Gears Do You Actually Have!?" Karlamine commented with disbelief.
"Oh no, it's not that I have multiple Sacred Gears. I simply have the ability to make them at my will." Kiba replied with a smirk. "I possess Sword Birth, have you ever heard of it? In other words, I make swords: Magical Swords."
Taking advantage of her shock, Kiba deflected her dagger away and out of her hands before delivering a flurry of slashes, causing her to scream in pain while Kiba unleashed his ability to finish her by rising the swords to impale her. With Karlamine's defeat, her body disappeared.
(One of Riser's Knights: Retired)
With Kiba's victory, he turned to his three companions as he quickly started to make his way to help them.
Meanwhile, both Virgil and Siris were engaged in an intense sword fight which she was attacking while he was in defense position since he kept blocking and parrying her attacks. When their blades clashed, Siris jumped a few steps back.
"I'm impressed Virgil, you're way strong since we fought against the Cie'th together." Siris compliments with a smirk.
"Thanks, you're not bad yourself." Virgil said with a smirk.
Siris gave him a nod as she charge after him while raised her sword to strike.
"Vendetta" Virgil blocks her attack while counter as he slashed her mid-section, causing her to grunt in pain as he used his paradigm to switch sentinel to commando as he began to charge after her, clashing each other which he got the advantage due to his past experience as he used his reflex by dodging her attacks while counters. The result of those attacks left her in pain which she mostly got cut wounds as he used his paradigm to switch commando to synergist.
"Hastega" He used his speed magic as he used his paradigm to switch synergist to commando, ready to strike.
'Time to use my own technique.' Virgil mentally thought as he flash-step at Siris from behind, leaving her shock as she looked at him.
"Flourish of Steel" Virgil said with a smirk as she felt multiple slashes on her body, leaving her scream in pain as she collapsed down to the ground.
With that, Siris began to disappear as she smiled.
'So...that's it, huh? Go get Riser, make him pay.' Siris mentally thought as she disappeared.
(One of Riser's Knights: Retired)
Issei looked at Kiba and Virgil with complete shock and awe when they unleash their abilities.
'Whoa, Kiba's Sacred Gear was way frickin' tight! I had no idea he had that power! And Virgil's attack was really cool, he took that Knight chick with one strike!' Issei thought as the nekomata twins took the advantage since his guard was down when they used their assault combination, leaving him knocked out and sent down towards the ground.
"You shouldn't let your guard down, Issei." Virgil said with a sigh.
Meanwhile, Koneko evaded another of Isabela's punches. She saw her expression turned into snarl with frustration as she threw another punch at the white-haired nekoshou. Koneko grabbed her fist before throwing her opponent over shoulder, leaving Isabela grunted from that impact when her body met the ground. Koneko then revealed her cat-ears and tail while tapping her Senjutsu as she swiftly execute her elbow drop onto her exposed stomach, leaving her shout in pain while the air knocked her body.
While Isabela was trying to recover, Koneko then grabbed her right foot as she hurled her above her head, launching her into the air. Koneko readied her right fist as she coated it with her flame as Isabela began to descend. When Isabela descended, Koneko then punched her in the stomach with her flame fist, leaving her coughed a bit of her blood while crashing five trees and landed onto the sixth tree. With that, Isabela disappeared.
(One of Riser's Rooks: Retired)
Ravel was shocked of seeing that Karlamine, Isabela, and Siris were defeated by Kiba, Koneko, and Virgil as she regained her composure and spoke.
"Guys, listen!" Ravel shouted, getting their attention. "You need to watch this."
When Kiba, Koneko, Issei, and Virgil looked at the rooftop of Kuoh Academy, they were shocked of seeing that Rias was descended down towards the roof, along with Asia which they're in a very serious situation when they also noticed that Riser was at the opposite side, staring at the two girls with an arrogant smirk.
"Rias!?" Issei exclaimed as he looked at Riser. "Is that Riser up there? What the hell!?"
"I bet he anticipated our move." Kiba said with serious look on his face.
"Looks that way." Virgil nods. "This is starting to get ugly."
Rating Game Field (Kuoh Academy, Rooftop)
Both Rias and Asia have landed on the top of the roof as she looked at Riser with a smirk while Asia hid behind her.
"So, I'm assuming you knew I was planning to attack you directly?" Rias questions.
"A virgin should never underestimate one with this much experience." Riser answered with a sneer.
"How comforting, you're as vulgar as ever." Rias said as she began to fight against Riser.
Rating Game Field (Athletic Club, Track and Field)
Issei blocked the twins assault combination as he began to boost with his Sacred Gear which he finally had enough power to fight them as he rushed towards the nekomata twins as they raced towards him. He then kicked Ni in the stomach while touching her in the shoulder, but Li plans to throw a punch at him as he grabbed her fist and tossed her right next to her twin, leaving them knocked towards the ground.
"Okay, now Dress Break!" Issei snapped his fingers.
Immediately, the poor nekomata twins clothes were ripped into shreds, leaving them squealed in a mixture of shock and embarrassment as they tried covering their bare bodies with their limbs. Both Ravel and Mihae blushed with embarrassment while Virgil and Koneko stared at Issei with annoyance.
Issei then charged up with his marble-sized sphere of his magic.
"Dragon Shot!" He then punched the magic sphere as it turned into a huge laser cannon, heading straight towards the twins as they screamed in agony, leaving them disappeared.
(Two of Riser's Pawns: Retired)
"Alright! Got two in one!" Issei cheered victoriously.
"B-B-But that was a perverted move I have ever seen!?" Ravel shouted with embarrassment. "I can't believe you just did that!"
"Yeah, I agree with Ravel on this one. That was pretty much stupid, Issei." Virgil agrees, leaving Issei face faulted to the ground.
"He's a pervert." Koneko added with annoyance.
"COME ON!?" Issei complains with teary eyes.
Suddenly, they heard an explosion that was coming from the rooftop. Virgil figured this would happen since things are really getting started to get ugly in between Rias and Riser.
Rating Game Field (Kuoh Academy, Rooftop)
Both Rias and Asia were in a very tight situation when she used her magic circle to shield herself and Asia from that fire magic from Riser.
"He's so strong." Asia said as Rias lower her shield.
"I wish you would make this a little more entertaining." Riser said with a smirk. "This is the worst foreplay I've ever had."
"Play with this!" Rias shouted as she extends her arms out to him and fires a large blast of crimson magic, making Riser counter with his fire magic. When both their magic's collided, it caused a huge explosion.
"Rias, No!" Issei's voice came over the comm.
"I'm Issei, don't worry about me!" Rias assured him while using her arm to shield her face from the winds of the dust cloud created from the explosion while keeping Asia behind him. "What's your status?"
"Well, two pawns were out, along with Karlamine, Siris, and Isabela. That pretty much leaves only 4 pieces left." Virgil explains through the comm. "I better go and check Akeno, she may need a helping hand."
"Alright, do what you can Virgil." Rias told him as she cuts off the comm while charging after Riser.
Rating Game Field (Athletic Club, Track and Field)
Virgil turned his head to Kiba, Koneko, and Issei as he spoke with his serious expression.
"You guys better get moving, Rias and Asia may need an extra hand." Virgil told them, getting a nod from them.
"What about you?" Issei asked.
"I'm going to the tennis court." Virgil answered as he turned his head to that direction. "Akeno may need some a little help."
"How are you going to get there? You won't be able to help her in time." Kiba said with serious look on his face.
"I can help out." Ravel said as they turned to her. "I can fly you there."
"You're an enemy in this Rating Game, you fried chicken." Koneko said with a glare, leaving Ravel flinched.
"What did you just call me!? You thieving cat!" Ravel retorts, leaving Koneko twitched with anger.
Both Ravel and Koneko butted their heads as they gave each other an intense glare, leaving Virgil sighed with annoyance. With that, Virgil activates his anti-gravity device as he leap towards onto the tennis court, leaving Ravel shocked when she saw Virgil leaped very high.
"No...way!? How did he do that!?" Ravel shouts.
"I forgot he would do that." Issei said with a smirk. "Virgil is really something else."
"He's full of surprises." Kiba agrees.
Koneko nods with an agreement as she, Kiba, and Issei were heading towards Kuoh Academy, leaving both Mihae and Ravel alone in the track and field.
When Yubelluna made a crash landing on the tennis court, leaving both she and Akeno all worn out and their attires were ripped and tattered up which they don't have the strength left to continue when they noticed Virgil was landing here in the tennis court.
"Virgil." Akeno said with a smile.
"It looks like you're at your limit." Virgil said.
"Yubelluna told me everything, regarding of her and her compatriot's attempted to fight you." Akeno told him. "She wants to be dealt with by your hands so that you can end this."
Virgil was surprised. The fact that Yubelluna have told Akeno everything about Riser's orders for killing him which they're mission have failed due to the attacks from the Cie'th a while back.
"I wouldn't worry about Mihae." Ravel assured him as she descends to the ground. "I'm the only Bishop remains."
Virgil give her a nod with understanding which someone must've dealt with her before they were heading inside of Kuoh Academy to give Rias and Asia a helping hand.
"Virgil, Riser wanted you for himself." Yubelluna informed him. "He's waiting for you at the school since he's engaged with Rias and your Bishop."
Judging from that look, Virgil noticed that she was worried.
"Don't worry, I've got tricks under my sleeve." Virgil assured her. "I may not look like it, but trust me on this."
Yubelluna's eyes widen with shock since she saw Virgil fight against the Cie'th a while ago as she smiled.
"Please be careful, you hold such an incredible power to overcome Lord Riser." Yubelluna said to him.
Virgil nods as he then caresses her cheek with his left hand.
"I'll be okay, Yubelluna. You've done more than enough to help us." Virgil said with a smile. "When this fight was over, I'll be sure to free you and the other three from him. You've been a slave for too long."
Both Ravel and Yubelluna's heart felt itself with ease and it skip a beat while they blushed. She then moves her head closer to Virgil's and prods a light kiss on his lips. It caught Virgil off-guard a bit as he simply kissed back.
Akeno and Ravel couldn't help but feel jealous of Yubelluna made a move with Virgil as they glare at her. Pulling back, she blushed.
"For good fortune, now please, let me leave from the battlefield." Yubelluna said with a smile. "I trust you to finish this, I have no desire to fight."
Virgil complies as he draws out his gunblade and stabs her in the stomach, but there was no pain from her as she smiled with peace and trust and closed her eyes. She then disappeared.
(Riser's Queen: Retired)
Everyone was shocked, even Riser threw a fit for losing his most valuable piece before regained his composer. Riser wants to make Virgil pay more than the white-haired l'Cie would ever think."
"Akeno, take this." Virgil calls out as he tossed an Ether to her.
Akeno didn't complain as she pops the cork out of the bottle and drank it, though it was bitter. However, she felt her magic was restored.
"Rally over to Rias and her Peerage, they may need some help." Virgil told her as he drank the Elixir. Akeno nods as she then flies over to Rias and her Peerage.
"Do you have a way to get there?" Ravel asked curiously, getting a nod from him.
"Yep, I have a way to get there." Virgil said with a smirk.
He then activates his anti-gravity device again, but Ravel grab hold of his back as he leaped on the top of the fence and leap towards the rooftop, leaving poor Ravel screaming as she holds on for her dear life.
Rating Game Field (Kuoh Academy, Rooftop)
A large stream of fire rushes towards both Rias and Asia as she puts up another shield, but she was struggling since she holding her own against Riser's endless attack as the fire was about to hit Rias, lightning was collided on the fire, caused an explosion.
"Akeno!" Rias gasp with surprise when she saw Akeno descends.
"Rias, were here!" Kiba shouts as he, Issei, and Koneko arrived at the top of the rooftop.
"Issei! Kiba! Koneko! You guys are okay!" Rias said with a smile.
"As fast as we could." Kiba said as he turned to Akeno. "Where's Virgil?"
"He's on his way here and Yubelluna was taken cared of." Akeno answered.
"Then that means we can win this!" Asia exclaimed.
"It won't matter." Riser said with arrogance, making them turned his attention. "Once he comes, I'll make him pay for disrespecting me."
"HEADS UP!" Virgil yelled as he landed on Riser's face with his foot, causing him to grunt with pain as he bends backwards, forcefully.
Virgil leaped off of him as he landed of the rooftop, leaving Issei laughing his butt off while Rias, Koneko, Asia, and Akeno giggled a bit and Kiba chuckled. However, Ravel was shaking as he puts her down gently.
"Sorry about that, are you okay?" Virgil asked, getting a nod from her, but she was still shaking from that experience.
Riser manage to heal himself as he looked Virgil with anger.
"Dude, that was awesome!?" Issei exclaimed. "I'm giving that landing a 10 out of 10."
Virgil couldn't help but chuckle a bit as he turned to Riser.
"You dare landed on Riser!" Riser snarled with anger. "I will make you pay for disrespecting me."
"Respect is something that you earned, not to be taken." Virgil told him with a glare. "And I won't have any problems of beating some senses into you."
"Is that so?" Riser questions with a smirk. "Then, how about I'll make it interesting for you."
Virgil raised his eyebrow which he won't like where this was going as he spoke.
"I'm listening." Virgil said.
"If I win this Rating Game, not only that Riser would marry Rias, you will also serve me forever." Riser wagered with a grin. "You'll perform every task I give you, without any hesitation."
Rias and her Peerage were glaring at him with anger as Issei was about to say something, but Rias raised her arm. Ravel was shocked about Riser's demands which of course, she would love to have Virgil for his Peerage and she wanted to protect him. Virgil knew this would happen which he would rather be a l'Cie than being a Devil, but if he was a Devil, then he won't get his Focus.
"Fine." Virgil agreed, startling Rias and the others. "But, if you lose?"
"I won't lose." Riser stated firmly with arrogance.
"Don't even try and get smartass with me." Virgil retorts. "Let's just assume if you lose, then what?"
Riser growled lightly with his eyes twitching a bit, before he took a breath and regained his composure.
"Well, if I lose, which it won't, I'll give you two of my Pawns, Ni and Li." Riser answered, leaving them shocked. "Two of my Rooks, Two of my Knights, and my Queen."
That got Ravel devastated while Rias and her Peerage gritted their teeth with anger as they stare at Riser.
"Riser, why?" Ravel questions. "There has to be another way."
"I agree with Ravel on this one." Virgil agrees. "Their your friends, right?"
"They're not my friends." Riser stated harshly. "They are Riser's Evil Pieces, my servants, and I'll do whatever I please with them."
Virgil scowled at him anger as he clenched his fist, further despised that arrogant playboy. How could he do this to them since they've been on his side for who knows how long. Now with Rias, her Peerage, Riser's Peerage, and himself on the line, he has to accept.
"Then in that case, Virgil will added my freedom!" Ravel exclaimed with anger. "I'm done listening to you and all of your crap, I'm done with every underhanded tactics you have to come up with, and I'm done with you, Riser!"
That got Riser shocked as he glared at his sister.
"Ravel, I-"
"I don't want to heard it, Riser!" Ravel interrupts. "You should be grateful to Virgil that he saved me, Xuelan, Yubelluna, and Siris's life from those monsters. And what did you do? You come out here and being disrespectful to him. For that, I won't help in your matches or any of your matches, because I quit for being your servant."
They were surprised of Ravel when she told her brother that she was finished of being his servant as she headed towards Rias' group.
"Since Ravel was added, it's deal." Virgil told him as he draws out his gunblade while used his paradigm to commando.
Riser then began used his fire magic as he was about to fire at him, but Virgil fires his bullets at him, shooting five times in Riser's body.
"Hah, did you really think that those bullets could kill me?" Riser questions with a smirk, but he coughed in blood as he screamed with pain. "This pain! It burns!"
They were shocked of seeing that Riser was hurt, he tried to heal, but for some reason it didn't.
"There not just any bullets, it's holy bullets." Virgil told him with smirk. "I've stashed those bullets from the Stray Exorcists I've encountered a couple of weeks back."
Rias and her peerage finally realized what Virgil have meant about those bullets he got as he continues.
"For what's bothering me was that was your healing factor of yours which your family was well-known of that ability, now I know why." Virgil explains. "Your healing ability won't work on those holy items which happens to be those bullets I've got. You may have been well-versed in fire, wind, and life, but you're still a demon."
Riser stared at Virgil was anger which he couldn't regenerate himself thanks to those bullets.
"What matters does make since you've figured it out!?" Riser exclaimed with anger. "I'm still gonna destroy you."
"Will see about that!" Virgil shouts as he used his paradigm to switch commando to synergist.
"Enfrost" Virgil used ice enhance magic to used ice attacks.
"Barfire" Virgil used his fire resistance to immunized Riser's fire ability.
"Vigilance" Virgil enhanced his alertness as he then used his paradigm to switch synergist to ravager.
Both Riser and Virgil began to clash against each other as Riser used his fire ability to attack him, but Virgil counters with his ice-based attacks which he grunted a bit since it created quite a bit of steam. Rias and the others couldn't see from that steam.
"I can't see from that steam they were creating." Issei complains.
"Shouldn't we help him?" Asia asked with worry.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine." Rias assured. "Virgil knows what he's doing. Not only that he's fighting for my freedom, but his, and Riser's servants since Riser have made a bad statement."
Ravel couldn't help but worry about Virgil which she knows that he fight, but she's worried about his well-being.
"Holy" Virgil shouts as the steam was cleared out, they noticed that Riser was damaged from the light magic as he shouts with agony.
"Light Magic!?" Riser exclaimed. "When Did You Learn From That Magic!?"
"From my adopted mother." Virgil answered with a scowl. "She raised me when I was adopted and she trained me to fight since 12 years ago."
Ravel was surprised that his mother have taught her adopted son of how to fight.
"Wait, what was his mother's name?" Ravel asked curiously.
"Her name was Lightning Farron." Kiba answered with a smile. "She was one of the six heroes from Gran Pulse."
"Yeah, and she was a l'Cie like Virgil." Issei added as he noticed that Virgil's brand was glowing on his chest. "Whoa, did that crystal just glow."
"What crystal?" Ravel asked.
"It was coming from his heart which it granted him powers." Akeno informed him. "For what I noticed about him, he was now a full-fledged l'Cie."
Ravel was shocked as she looked at Virgil.
"Your arrogance was your downfall, Riser!" Virgil shouted. "You can't win this fight!"
With that, Virgil rushed towards Riser as he deliver his ice fist on his stomach while kicking him in the face, leaving Riser landing on the tower. Riser manage to recover as he caught sight of Virgil rushed towards him. He then used his fire magic to cover himself for protection, but he felt that the ice fist breaks through thanks to Virgil's fire resistance.
"Blizzaga: Icefist Smash" Virgil then used his punching combination as he punched in the stomach, ribs, and face, causing him to scream in agony as he felt the ice was freezing him while Virgil finished him by hook punched him in the face, leaving Riser crashed onto the wall as Virgil leaped after him.
Moments after the dust cleared, Riser began lifting himself as he looked at Virgil with furious gaze. Riser then launched a fireball at him, but Virgil saw through it as he leaped over it while delivering him a flying ice roundhouse kick to Riser, sent him flying while Virgil fires three shots at him, causing Riser to scream in pain as he landed on the ground.
Riser coughed out with blood. He was being overwhelmed by Virgil's power and his tactics, his healing power couldn't help him because of the light bullets that was sticking out on his body. He failed to realize that Virgil was battle-experienced and paid the price for underestimated him.
He glared at Virgil with pure rage as his body explode with flames. Virgil stopped while stared at him with a scowl.
"Don't you dare make a mockery out of me, you lowly human trash!" Riser roared. He was humiliated by Virgil for third time and he won't take it much more. "How dare you try to make a fool of me with you absurd tactics! I'll reduce you to ashes! Then I'll make Rias my bride!"
Virgil observed Riser with his icy cold anger.
"Look at yourself, Riser." Virgil spat as his fist was channeled with light. "You're just a spoiled brat who only cares about getting what he wants. And I'm just about had enough of you and your arrogance."
Riser leaped towards Virgil with a snarl. Virgil growled as he leaped after Riser while raising his fist of light.
"Holyga: Final Heaven" Virgil utilizing his fist of light as he punched Riser in the stomach, causing him to cough in pain as the beam of light sent Riser flying towards the school grounds, causing him to crash all the way down toward the first floor.
Rias and the others went inside of the school building as they saw Virgil was standing since he looked down.
When the dust clears, they saw Riser was defeated when they saw him in the shell-shocked expression on his face.
(Riser Phenex: Retired. The winner is: Rias Gremory)
With that, Rias and her Peerage cheered with joy. Koneko however, smiled. Ravel approaches to Virgil with smile.
"Virgil, thank you." Ravel thanked him, getting a nod from him. With that, Ravel began to disappear.
That's it for the 14th chapter. I'm really sorry about the delay, I was off track since I mostly played the Kingdom Hearts: Union X, reading other fanfiction stories, and taking care of the house which yeah, I pretty much goofed-up a bit.
