This is the 15th chapter of the crossover story. Before I can move on to Season 2 of this story, I got a lot of cleaning up to do since there were a lot of errors on each of those chapters which I'll have to clean it up. I'll keep you guys updated.

Anyway, 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.

Kuoh Academy, Occult Research Club Room

The magic circles have shown brightly. When the magic circles died down, revealing Virgil, Rias, and her Peerage that have won the Rating Game along with Virgil's adopted family and his friends.

"Virgil, that was awesome!" Issei exclaimed.

"It wasn't just me, Issei." Virgil denies. "It was a team effort to fight against Riser and his Peerage. Also, you're progressing quite a bit Issei, even though your technique was a bit overboard."

Issei couldn't help but chuckle nervously, rubbing the back of his head when he used 'Dress Break' on Riser's Peerage. Nora rushed to her cousin as she embraced him.

"True his technique was a bit perverted, but yours was way incredible, especially with that 'Final Heaven' technique of yours." Kiba said with a smile. "It's my first time witnessed his technique, I just don't know what to say."

"I do, Issei." Gadot called him with a glare. "Your technique was nothing but a joke and a bit a waste of clothes. I'm giving that 'Dress Break' a two thumbs down."

Yuj, Maqui, and Lebreau nodded with an agreement as Issei cried with teary eyes.

'Here I thought they would be proud of me, but they were pretty harsh.' Issei mentally complains. Kuroka approaches to her sister as she hugged her.

"Koneko, I'm so proud of you." Kuroka praised as Koneko nods while embraced her sister.

Lightning approaches to her son as she hugged him.

"I'm proud of you, Virgil." Lightning said with a smile.

"Thanks mom." Virgil thanked her, hugging his mother.

"Hey, come on, that can wait! We've gotta party to go to." Snow told them with a smile.

That got Rias and her peerage surprised.

"Did daddy just said party?" Nora asked curiously.

"Yes he did." Serah nods to her daughter as she grabbed hold her and lift her up.

"You don't waste time, do you?" Hope questions.

"No I don't." Snow answered.

"That's right. Just charge in, guns blazing!" Sazh said with a smile, leaving everyone laughing. Rias turned to Virgil with a sincere smile.

"Virgil, thank you." Rias thanked him.

"It's no problem." Virgil assured. "Like we told you, we don't agree on the forced marriage and neither of us don't like Riser. I just can't believe that he would stoop so low when he gave up on his servants like that."

"Hey, you did what you can, Virgil." Dajh told him. "As far as I know, Riser didn't have much luck on his side."

"Yeah, Lady Bad Luck was on his side!" Sazh exclaimed, causing Issei, Gadot, and Snow laughing.

Before any more exchanges could be made, another magic circle appeared in the room, bearing the Gremory family crest as they immediately focus onto it, revealed to be Sirzechs and Grayfia.

"Hello everyone." Sirzechs greeted cheerfully. "Congratulations on your first victory, I'm really happy about it."

"S-Sirzechs!?" Rias stuttered in shock. That got Virgil and Issei's attention.

'So that's Rias' brother, huh? I tell of that spitting image appearance, but he's got strong magic within him.' Virgil thought.

'That guy is her brother!? Whoa, he looks hardcore.' Issei thought with shock.

"What? Is it surprising for your brother to come and congratulate on your victor of the Rating Game?" Sirzechs asks playfully to his sister.

"B-But...you...you're a...your needed..." Rias stammered in desperation, failed miserably to get a coherent message across.

"Fear not, Lady Rias. Lord Sirzechs has some time off from his duties as a Great Satan Lords tonight, due to your Rating which you have won." Grayfia assured, leaving Rias groaned with frustration.

'Great Satan Lords!?' Virgil thought with surprised expression. 'So he's one of the four leaders, like Serafall. That was unexpecting.'

Sirzechs then turned face to Virgil.

"Virgil Farron, it's a pleasure to meet you." Sirzechs stated warmly, offered his right hand for a shake.

"Likewise." Virgil replied as he shook his hand.

"My name is Sirzechs Lucifer." Sirzechs told him. "I'm very grateful for the help you've given my sister tonight."

"It's no problem." Virgil assured.

Sirzechs stepped back from the white-haired l'Cie as he faced the others.

"Anyway, in honor of your victory, I would like to invite you all for a party!" Sirzechs said joyfully.

"A party!? I'm in!" Issei exclaimed excitedly.

"Hahahahaha! Your new Pawn has a lot of passion Rias. I like that." Sirzechs remarked, causing Rias to blush with embarrassment. "Now everyone, get ready."

Sirzechs activates the magic circle and stepped onto it. Everyone soon followed suit as they were teleported to the Underworld.


Underworld, Celebration Hall

The sound of people chatting and laughing was moving through the air. Sona and her peerage had joined them to celebrate their victory over Riser, along with Rias' family, Riser and Ravel's family, and Riser's former servants. There were also some people, mainly belonged to, or closely tied to the Gremory Household, as well as good friends and families.

Lightning and Hope were having some serious discussion with Serafall about where the nekoshou's were taking refuge since they teleported in Gran Pulse as she pulled out the map screen.

"The nekoshou's were taking refuge in between Academia and New Bodhum." Lightning told her, pointing out the map. "However, some of them were scattered in Gran Pulse since we've been able to track most of them, but some of them were hard to find."

"We were able to convince them to stay until everything was sorted out." Hope informed her. "But the nekoushou's were beginning to understand about it since they're started to get adjusted while finding some work. However, what we've learn from them so far was that they're race were dying and they need to reproduce so they can repopulate the nekoshou race."

Serafall nodded as she spoke.

"Well, it's good that the nekoshou race were taking refuge in Gran Pulse." Serafall told them. "However since Kuroka was innocent and the House of Naberius was gone, I'm gonna have a word with the Devil Council which they wanted to know where were the nekoshou's have disappeared too and the leader of the nekomata about her race."

Both Lightning and Hope gave her a nod which there's gonna be more serious conversation.

Virgil, Nora, Serah, and Snow walked towards the table with some refreshments on it. Virgil have recently been receiving a lot of thanks from various people for helping Rias in her first Rating Game. Like before, he told them that it was no problem, but Snow chuckled a bit while told his nephew not to be so modest. However, to his surprise, he was thanked from Riser and Ravel's parents and their two brothers.

"My son Riser had become too confident in our clan's regenerative healing power." Lord Phenex told him. "He's too arrogant for his own good and to think that he would give up most of his peerage to you which that would taint our reputation of the House of Phenex."

"Hey, Riser brought it up to himself since he made a bet in the Rating Game." Snow told him. "I couldn't believe it either, but it is what it is."

"I'm afraid that is true." Ruval said with serious expression.

"Well, hopefully he'll learn his lesson." Lady Phenex said with a smile. "I was able to trade off of Riser's Peerage with my Evil Pieces. So now some of his servants are now free."

Virgil gave her a nod as one of the siblings spoke.

"Also, we wanted to thank you for saving Ravel from those monsters." Ruval thanked him with a smile. "She told us everything what happened a while ago and she couldn't stop talking about you."

That got Virgil blushed with embarrassment as Snow and Serah laughed.

"Looks like someone was popular." Snow snickered with a smirk, placing his arm on his shoulder.

"U-Uncle!" Virgil shouts.

"You never told me that you save Ravel." Serah teased her nephew.

"A-Aunt Serah!" Virgil shouted with embarrassment, causing them to laugh a bit. It took a few minutes for them to calm down as Lord Phenex spoke.

"Virgil, these former servants from Riser's Peerage are now yours." Lord Phenex said with a smile. "Please take care of them and treat them well."

Virgil gave him a nod as the Phenex family look their leave, leaving him and his family alone.

The former servants from Riser's Peerage have come to visit Lightning and the others as they spoke.

"We wanted to thank your son for fighting against Riser." Xuelan thanked her with a smile. "If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be alive."

Lightning gave her nod as she spoke.

"Since you're now free from him, what will you do?" Lightning asked.

"We...we don't know, I'm afraid we haven't thought about it." Karlamine answered nervously as Gadot spoke, walking towards them.

"Well, you ladies finally have a chance to live a good life, unlike that playboy Riser." Gadot told them. "My boss, Snow was planning to hire an extra hands since some monsters have come to cause trouble in New Bodhum."

That got their attention as they spoke with starry eyes.

"Really!?" They exclaimed, getting a nod from Gadot.

"Well, if it's a monster hunt, we're in." Xuelan said with a smile.

"Sign me up!" Isabela added.

"Count me in!" Karlamine added.

"You really got them motivated." Snow said with a chuckle as he turned to them. "Okay, okay, you ladies are in."

They couldn't help but feel excited as Lebreau spoke.

"But first, we have to get you ladies settled in from Gran Pulse and I could use some help at the bar." Lebreau told them. "And don't worry, it's not anything perverted and I can teach you how to cook and how to run a bar."

They nodded as the nekomata twins volunteered to help Lebreau.

"Okay, you two. You're hired." Lebreau said with a smile as Ni and Li smiled.

Xuelan approaches to both Serah and Nora as she spoke when she noticed Nora was hiding behind.

"Who is that?" Xuelan asked with a smile.

"This is my daughter, Nora Villiers." Serah answered as she turned to her daughter. "It's okay, you can come out."

Nora slowly approaches to Xuelan as she spoke to her.

"H-H-Hello." Nora greeted nervously.

"Hi, Nora." Xuelan greeted back. "Virgil have saved me from the Cie'th a while back and I even fought him in the Rating Game."

"Yes, we saw that." Serah giggled. "I also heard that my nephew saved Ravel from them as well."

Xuelan nods as Nora approach.

"You know Virgil and he saved you?" Nora questioned with a smile.

"That's right." Xuelan nods with a smile as she turned to Serah. "I wanted to repay Virgil for saving my life and for freeing me."

Serah couldn't help but feel surprised when Xuelan spoke about her freedom as she smiled.

"Well, whenever you're not busy from the monster hunting. I would like you to babysit my daughter." Serah said. "I can give you a hand and I can teach you to cook."

Xuelan was surprised about Serah offered her a job as she smile and spoke.

"It'll be my honor." Xuelan answered with a smile.

With that, Riser's former peerage were excited to live in Gran Pulse, having a chance to fight monsters and have a good life. Isabela began to talk with Gadot, mostly flirting. Siris went up to Dajh while Karlamine went with Maqui and Xuelan went to Yuj. Yubelluna approaches to Hope as they began to talk to each other. Issei, Rias, and Lightning noticed that they were getting along instantly.

"Dude, it made it look like they were hitting it off." Issei said with a smile.

"Well, it's good that they are getting along." Lightning said. "Plus, it's a good opportunity for them to have an honest life instead of being around with Riser."

They nodded with an agreement, but Virgil was relaxing against the wall. However, there was something confused him. Not anyone from Rias or Sona's Peerage, but a few females had been giving him some looks which he was no stranger about that look on their faces. Some on them winked at him or giggled when they made an eye contact on him. He also heard about 'inviting' him from a few girls on some group which of course, he doesn't seem interested on that.

Until, a girl who looked at his came to him out of the blue. She asked some typical questions and she inquired if he's a member of Rias' Peerage which he told her he's not a Devil, he's a l'Cie, she seemed a little conflicted and curious about it. He explain to her about the l'Cie which she was amazed about it. She soon asked him if he was planning to visit in the Underworld again, he replied that he honestly don't know if he'd visit the second time. She was disappointed with his answer, but she politely said that it was nice meeting him before walking away with a faint blush across her face.

As he finally arrived at the refreshment table, he noticed Rias' parents arrived on his left. The woman had a voluptuous appearance, shorter flaxen hair, and violet eyes. She wore a white dress with black accents and white frills that expose her cleavage, white long gloves with black bands on her arms, a white choker with red ruby and a necklace.

That made Virgil blushed of her appearance as she spoke.

"It was a pleasure to meet a boy who fought for my daughter." She said with a smile.

"The pleasure is all mine." Virgil said politely.

"No need for such formalities, my name is Venelana Gremory, I'm both Rias and Sirzechs' mother." Venelana introduced herself. Next came to a man who was next to Venelana. The man extended his hand as Virgil shake his hand.

"My name is Zeoticus Gremory, I'm Rias and Sirzechs' father. It was a pleasure to meet you, Virgil Farron." Zeoticus introduced himself with a smile.

"How did you know my name?" Virgil asked with a shock.

"Our daughter told us about you." Zeoticus answered. "She told us that you've been a great help, but you were a bit too harsh on her."

"That's because he picked up of my bad habits." Lightning said as she approaches to her son with serious expression. "My name is Lightning Farron, I'm Virgil's adopted mother."

"A pleasure." Zeoticus said with a friendly smile. He extended his hand as Lightning shake his hand. "To be honest, I was very impressed of your son's performance in the Rating Game."

"Really?" Lightning asked with surprised look on her face.

"Truthfully yes. To be able to defeat Riser, truly an outstanding performance." Zeoticus answered as someone came bouncing closer. Both Lightning and Virgil turned to them, seeing is was Serafall clutching Virgil with an embrace.

"Virgil! Your were amazing in the Rating Game!" Serafall said with a smile.

"Yeah, thanks Serafall." Virgil thanked her with a nervous smile, causing Lightning to giggle a bit. Until, Kuroka grab hold of Serafall when she placed her hand on her shoulder with a menacing smile while Koneko was next to her sister.

"I'm sorry, were you trying to seduce Virgil?" Kuroka questions with a strained smile, leaving Serafall scared as she let go of Virgil.

"N-No, I was just telling him of how amazing he was at the Rating Game." Serafall answered honestly.

Kuroka sighed as she let go of Serafall, leaving Lightning, Virgil, Zeoticus, and Venelana laugh a bit as Koneko was gathering various assortment of sweets and desserts on her tray.

Virgil shook his head with a small smile as he approaches her.

"You've got quite a sweet tooth." Virgil commented.

Koneko gave a slight jump, being startled by his appearance.

"Hello Virgil." Koneko greeted him. She then looked at what she had gathered. After a few seconds, she then grabbed a regular-sized wrapped chocolate bar and set the tray down on the table.

"Here, it's a good one." She said, offering a chocolate to him.

"Thanks." Virgil replied with a small smile as he took the chocolate bar from her hand. He recognized that chocolate bar from the convenience store in Gran Pulse, but never actually bought it. Unwrapping the chocolate bar as he took a bite.

"Hmm, it was good." Virgil told her as he continues eating it.

"That's...good to hear." Koneko remarked with a smile and a blush as she hugged him, leaving Virgil, Lightning, and Kuroka surprised as he hugged her.

Virgil then remove his arms from her petite frame, leaving Koneko relinquishing her hold.

"You can get back to enjoy your sweets. I'm just gonna head out for a bit." Virgil informed her as he left with a smile, getting a nod from her.

Virgil advanced towards the doors that lead to the balcony. He leaning on the stone rail, looking up at the sky with his calm expression on his face. Overall, things were going pretty well for his life, though he was a bit peachy since his previous fights, but he was enjoying his life here on Earth. The opening of the door caught his attention, gazing in its direction, he saw Rias, Issei, and Asia coming out of the party to join him.

"You guys needed something?" Virgil inquired.

"No, dude. We're just checking up on you." Issei answered with a smile.

"Just needed some air." Virgil told them, getting a nod from them as Lightning came out of the door.

"Well, it's understandable that the party was pretty luxurious." Lightning said to her son with a smile.

"Wait, you're not use to have big parties?" Issei asked.

"Nah, I'm not use to that." Virgil shook his head.

They nodded with understanding as Kuroka, Koneko, Akeno, Ravel, Snow, Serah, and Nora came out of the door while Akeno walked towards him.

"Virgil, I sense that you were branded by a Fal'Cie which you're now a full-fledged l'Cie." Akeno informed him, leaving them shocked. "Which you now have a Focus."

Issei turned his head to Virgil as he spoke.

"Dude, is it true?" Issei questions, getting a nod from him.

"Do you know what your Focus is?" Lightning asked her son, leaving Virgil chuckled a bit.

Sirzechs, Gadot, Yuj, Grayfia, Hope, Noel, Yuel, Serafall, Maqui, Lebreau, Yubelluna, Dajh, Sazh, Fang, Vanille, Isabela, Siris, Karlamine, Ni, Li, Xuelan, Venelana, and Zectious came out of the door as they wanted to hear about Virgil's Focus as he smiled.

"Yes, I do." Virgil nods. "It's to find friends who will appreciate my powers and they'll give me the strength I need to face foes, no matter how strong they are. Power isn't something that's physical or how it's used, it's the strength to protect those who are important and irreplaceable to protect. No matter how dire situation can be, no matter where I go, I'll always have your back, and I know that you'll have mine as well."

They were stunned to hear his words, but happy to hear at what Virgil is saying.

"In other words, all of you, my friends and my family, are my Focus. That's why I became a l'Cie." Virgil said with a warm smile.

"Awww...That was the most beautiful words I've ever heard in my entire life!?" Issei exclaimed with his teary eyes as he cried. They shed tears in their eyes since they felt touched by his words.

Serah approaches to her nephew as she hugged him.

"I'm so proud of you, Virgil." Serah said with a smile and teary eyes.

Gadot grinned proudly at Virgil.

Sazh, Snow, and Hope smiled latter crossing their arms, happy for Virgil.

Maqui, Lebreau, and Yuj shed in tears in their eyes with a smile.

Dajh smiled, but his lip quivered as he was on the verge of tears, along with Siris, Yubelluna, Karlamine, and Isabela.

Fang and Vanille smiled for Virgil, later cried with a tears of joy.

Ni and Li blow their noses with their handkerchiefs when they cried with joy.

Noel and Yuel hugged latter smiled.

Ravel cried with her tears of joy and smiled, happy for Virgil.

Koneko, Asia, and Kuroka embraced Virgil with their teary eyes.

Lightning smiled proudly for Virgil.

Rias, Akeno, Kiba, Sirzechs, Zeoticous, Venelana, and Serafall shed in tears of joy, smiled for Virgil when they were touched by Virgil's words.

With that, everyone noticed that they were crying for Virgil, didn't know about his Focus. However, Sona and her Peerage heard of Virgil's words which they were touched, but Saji cried in tears.

"Aw man, that Virgil...I didn't know he had that kind of goal. It was beautiful." Saji said with teary eyes as he cry.

Sona couldn't help but nod with agreement as she was on a verge of tears, smiling.

Everyone from the balcony were very happy to see that Virgil has a Focus and a reason why he became a l'Cie.

That's it for the 15th chapter. That's all for the Season 1 of the crossover story folks.
