This is the 50th chapter of the crossover story. This is the second half of the Rating Game between the Bael team and the Gremory team. And we're about to be in the end of the 4th season. Also, the fifth season of DxD will be released in the mid-2021, but we'll wait and see. If any longer, I'd be really pissed off and I'll have to put this story on hold until the fifth season is released. Hopefully soon.
I don't own the series of Highschool DxD or the video game of Final Fantasy 13.
No flame reviews, seriously it's a bad rep and I have no tolerance whatsoever.
Underworld, Rating Game
After the buzzer have went off for the sixth round of the match, Kiba, Xenovia, and Rossweisse went to fight against Sairaorg to try weaken him for Issei to beat him, readied their fighting stance. Sairaorg's forearms were glowing with golden aura.
"So you know, these are constraints that restrict my movements and weight me down. I'll remove them now." Sairaorg told them as the constraints come off his hands at they go down his body, breaking the rock under him while causing the wind to blow, making the three to block. They look at him with shock as the white aura surrounds his body as he chuckles with a smirk on his face. And with that, the fight begins.
"Wow! Sairaorg's fighting side is incredible, it's so powerful you can actually see it radiating around him." Azazel said seriously.
"Look, I have nothing but respect for all of you. That's why I won't hold anything back!" Sairaorg stated with a shout as he rushes at them, making Xenovia gasp.
"I got this!" Rossweisse said as she summons a multiple Nordic magic circles, firing multiple projectiles at Sairaorg, but he's moving too fast she was having a hard time trying to hit him. Xenovia then gives the former Valkyrie a helping hand while taking the advantage by firing her slash projectile at Sairaorg, but she missed while Rossweisse keeps firing at him. Sairaorg then rushes at the former Valkyrie by climbing through rocks and block the attacks as he then rushes faster.
"No, run!" Kiba warns her, but it's too late.
When Rossweisse turns around, Sairaorg delivers a punch in the sternum as she flies away from the mountain to the lake as she disappears from the match, making Issei, Rias, and Asia shocked while the crowd cheered.
"Holy shit monkeys!?" Issei exclaims.
"One down, two to go." Sairarog stated with a smirk as he then turn his head to the two.
"He's way too fast!" Xenovia stated as Kiba summons amethyst to block, but Sairaorg easily breaks through, causing him to take a few steps back to evade.
"I have to admit, that tenacity on your team is quite admirable!" Sairaorg praises, punching Kiba in the face as flies towards the rocks while knocked out. "However, your lack of defense is your weakness. It's an observation, not an insult, so please don't feel bad. There are actually a lot of people who are unable to withstand my attacks."
Xenovia then launches her attack at him, but he with his warcry, the white aura surrounds him, destroying the attack, making Xenovia gasp with shock as he swiftly appears behind her.
"Hey, nice shot." Sairaorg compliments while deliver a kick combo, leaving her grunts in pain. "While it is a very impressive weapon, the Holy Sword Durandal won't be enough to beat me!"
Kiba was able to recover and give Xenovia a helping hand as he uses the Balance Breaker to summon the soldiers which it got Sairaorg's attention as the knights rush at him, ready the attack.
"Well now, is that a new Balance Breaker? Bring it on!" Sairaorg declared with a smirk, readied his fighting stance as the knights were about to attack, but Sairaorg easily beat them one-by-one. "Unfortunately for you though, they're still not enough. Please don't tell me that this is the best you can do!"
Kiba then smirked as a certain Valkyrie is seem jumping in the air, ambushed Sairaorg by firing multiple projectiles.
"You should watch your back!" Rossweisse stated as she summons a Nordic magic circles to fire multiple projectiles at Sairaorg, causing him to block as he screams while getting pushed back which shows it was the former Valkyrie who was doing the attack.
"Are you really seeing this right now? And here I thought Rossweisse had already been retired!" Naud said surprisingly while the crowd were shocked that Rossweisse is still in the fight.
"That was a smokescreen that Rossweisse that Sairaorg defeated earlier was created through Excalibur Mimic." Rias explains, leaving Issei shocked. "What we're looking at now is the real Rossweisse. You'll notice that she's holding Excalibur Transparency which has the ability to make it's wielder invisible."
"Talk a hell a cool sword." Issei muttered.
"Yes. When EX-Durandel was modified, Excalibur fragments were incorporated into the newly formed weapon." Rias explains with a smile. "So, Rossweisse borrowed one of the Excaliburs from Xenovia and used it to her advantage. The glowing was when she fell into the water was also apart of her plan, it was all a ruse to make it looked like she'd been retired."
"Whoa, I gotta give them props, that's some genius level strategy!?" Issei exclaims with an impressed smile.
When the smoke clears, Kiba, Xenovia, and Rossweisse stood next to each other while Sairaorg then stood up from the attack as he spoke.
"Well done, I must say you had a brilliant plan. And for that I give you my respect, along with this!" Sairaorg shouts as he increase his aura with his muscles getting big as he use the melee ranged attack, causing both Kiba and Xenovia to barely dodge that attack, Rossweisse have taken the hit as she vanish.
(AN: Rossweisse has been eliminated.)
"Rias Gremory's Rook has officially been retired!" Rudiger announces.
Kiba goes for the attack as he was about to chop his arm, but his sword broke on contact. Xenovia tried the same thing, only breaking but barely which it doesn't hurt him. Kiba then grabs the hilt as they let out a warcry while using their power to try and chop his arm off, but got the whole audience shocked that Sairaorg is in pain and his arm was chopped off.
"Impressive." Sairaorg praise his opponents, but it didn't stop him as he kicked Xenovia in the stomach, leaving her cough a bit of her blood. "Because of that stunt, I'm going to be forced to use the Phoenix Tears."
Sairaorg then beat her enough where blood is seen and knocked her out, Kiba gasps in shock which also gets his face grabbed with Sairaorg dragged him on the ground.
"I can't go to the finals in this pitiful shape!" Sairaorg yelled as he throws Kiba in the air which he was still able to move despite being in pain. Kiba was about to land on the ground, but Sairaorg deliver a backhand to him, leaving Kiba landed on a ground a couple of feet away.
"It looks like we've managed to fulfill our roles." Kiba grunts. "Now it's up to my master and best friend, to finish you off."
"I want to thank you all for putting up such a good fight." Sairaorg thanked them.
"I'll have to leave the rest up to you guys." Kiba said with a smile as he was about to vanish. "I'm so sorry, but I have faith that you'll be able to win."
(AN: Xenovia Quarta and Kiba Yuuto has been eliminated.)
"The two Knights of Rias Gremory have lost and are retired!" Rudiger announces, leaving the crowd cheered while Sairaorg is getting his arm.
"Kiba, Xenovia, Rossweisse, you all fought brilliantly." Rias said sadly.
However, Issei is starting to get angry which it got the two girls attention, leaving the two widen their eyes seeing the look of his face with pure anger. After that, both Sairaorg and Rias then roll the dice for the seventh round of the match as it lands on the number of...9.
"Right! We're nearing the end of the game. The total of the dice this time is nine, the Bael team sends out Kuisha Abaddon! The Gremory team sends out Issei Hyoudou back out!" Naud announces, causing the crowd to cheer since the seventh round of the match is taking place in the colosseum. Asia runs towards Rias as she spoke.
"Rias, about Issei. He seems angry." Asia said with worry.
"Well, he's the type of person who's always cared for his friends. This round won't last long." Rias points out seriously.
"At the sound of the buzzer, let the seventh match begin!" Rudiger announces as the buzzer sounds off.
"Sorry, I can't hold back." Issei apologize calmly, unleash his Boosted Gear. "If you don't want to die, I would suggest using some kind of protection. And for once, I don't mean that in a dirty way."
"Okay, come at me." Kuisha scoffed with a smirk, wave her hair.
"Balance Breaker." Issei said.
[Welsh Dragon: Balance Breaker]
"Don't say I didn't warn you." Issei warned when he's on armor. "WELSH SONIC BOOST KNIGHT"
Issei then rush towards her when his armor sheds into light armor while charging.
"WELSH DRAGONIC ROOK" Issei stops while change his armor into heavy armor, deliver a Solid Impact to Kuisha, leaving her vanish.
(AN: Kuisha Abaddon has been eliminated.)
"The Queen of Sairaorg Bael is retired!" Rudiger announces, leaving the crowd cheering.
"What an incredible attack! The Queen didn't have a chance to use her signature 'Hole' ability!" Naud added.
"No that's not it, Abaddon disappeared from the match before Issei's attack even hit her." Azazel points out seriously.
"That's right, I forced my Queen to retire rather then stay and fight. Issei's attack would have killed her had it actually found it's mark." Sairaorg added when Issei teleported.
"I'm sorry, my feelings got the better of me." Issei apologize. "I was thinking about my friends when I actually should have my head in the game."
"There's something different about the look in your eyes, like there's a new level on intensity." Sairaorg stated with a smirk. "I've dreaming about going head-to-head with the Red Dragon Emperor for a long time now. That's why, we should drop this charade! I think we should ditch the rules that would bar you from fighting the next round. I say, we skip to the Grand Finale and battle with the remaining members from each family!"
"No way! Sairaorg is throwing down the gauntlet!" Naud said with shock.
"You know, it's not a bad idea considering the next few matches would be. A player cannot participate twice in a row, meaning the next round would be Bael's Pawn against Gremory's Bishop, leaving the final match between Lord Sairaorg and the infamous Red Dragon Emperor." Diehauser stated seriously.
"You make a good point, an all-out team battle would be more exciting." Azazel agrees. "And lets face it, I doubt we'll hear any complaints from the crowd."
"That idea sounds acceptable to me." Rias accepts seriously and the crowd were cheering, wanting to see Issei and Sairaorg fight.
"Well, get out your popcorn folks, because I've gotten word that Sairaorg's suggestion has been approved! What this means of course is that the next match will be a team battle with the remaining family from each side!" Naud announces.
"I'm excited." Sairaorg stated. "Just so you know, I might overdo it. So try not to hate me if you die. Because death is a real possibility."
"I'm attacking to kill! I won't hold back, not when I still have to avenge everyone else! If I don't take you down, I'll never be able to face them!?" Issei declared with his serious glare.
"I can't wait to start." Sairaorg accepts.
With that, they arrived at the arena where the final match is taking place. Asia remains behind while praying for Rias and Issei to win this fight.
"Okay, this will be the very last fight of the Baels vs the Gremorys Rating Game! The Gremory team has set aside their Bishop, Asia as an alternate. Leaving the final battle as a two on two soiree!" Naud announces.
"When the buzzer sounds, the final round begins!" Rudiger announces as the buzzer sounds off.
"Ruin Princess, before we begin." Sairaorg said, earned her attention. "I want to say that I admire how much your family thinks of you. Because of that, they're very strong, I'm almost jealous. Okay then Issei, you ready to do this?"
[Welsh Dragon: Balance Breaker]
When Issei is on armor, he then spoke.
"I will get revenge on my friends." Issei told him, pointing at him. "Even I'll admit, there's no way I can fight you rationally after what you've done. I'm going to destroy you!"
"I'd expect nothing less from the Red Dragon Emperor, let's see your true power!" Sairaorg declared.
"Prepare to die!" Issei growled as he then use the boosters to rush after him while Sairaorg then use his white aura to charge after with full power, causing them to punch each other in the face. Sairaorg bleeds from that impact while Issei's armor cracks a little. "F' this shit! Am I right Ddraig!?"
[Yes!]
Issei then charges his power to deliver a strong strike, making Sairaorg stagger back a bit.
"That's for my friends with love! Wait until you see what else they've sent you!?" Issei growls as Sairaorg wipes the blood away from his nose.
"Now that's what I call a good punch." Sairaorg praise him. "I could definitely feel your intentions on that one."
Rias look at Regulus as he took off his mask with a smile on his face. Until, what shocked her and the whole audience is that he turned into a giant golden lion, making Issei shocked and stunned.
"Well, this is something new! The Pawl of the Bael team has transformed into a giant golden lion!" Naud announces with shock.
"It can't be, a Lion of Nemea?" Azazel said with shock.
"What's that?" Naud questions.
"Specifically, it was a lion that fought against Hercules in ancient mythology. Not long after the ferocious battle, it was sealed into a Sacred Gear and become one of the 13 Legendary Longinus." Azazel explains. "The weapon was rumored to be strong enough to crack the earth with a single swing, a battle axe that could transform into a giant lion, Regulus Nemea! What's odd is that I heard it's master had been MIA for quite some time."
"That's correct. His master was murdered, when I found him it was clear there'd been a struggle. The group that attacked him was still there. But, the battle axe had turned into a lion and destroyed every last one of them." Sairaorg explains. "That's when I decided to make him part of my family. How's that for a backstory?"
"So, it's an intelligent Longinus that can move without a master. Now that's what I call interesting." Azazel stated seriously.
"Since he's a member of my family and has no master, his power is rather unstable, which is why he can only fight in matches with me." Sairaorg told them, looking at Regulus.
"That explains why you never sent out your Pawn until the end." Rias said seriously.
"Pres, take care of that giant pussy!" Issei shouts.
"Now that we've got the unnecessarily long backstory out of the way, the battle can continue!" Naud announces.
Regulus begins the fight as he charges after Rias, leaving her unleash her Power of Destruction to fire at the golden lion while both Sairaorg and Issei continue their fight. They're blocking and punching each other back and forth. Issei get punched as he launches back, but gets back up as he yells in anger, dodging his attack to punch him in the sternum, but Sairaorg delivers a couple of punches until the Red Dragon Emperor notice something was off about his right arm.
'Is it just me or does his right punch seem a little less hardcore than his left one?' Issei mentally questions with confusion when Sairaorg was about to deliver a punch to him, causing him to duck down. 'On top of that, it seem slower too.'
Issei then widened his eyes, remembered what Kiba have said to Sairaorg, telling him that they'll send the Red Dragon Emperor in the best of states.
'Thanks Kiba, you guys really did me a solid.' Issei mentally thanked them with his teary eyes as he let out a yell, increase his power as he delivers a punch to Sairaorg's right arm which he flinches with pain. "Take this! WELSH DRAGONIC ROOK"
Issei then turn his armor into a heavy armor, use a Solid Impact to punch Sairaorg in a jaw, sent him flying.
"Since you have no weaknesses, my friends took the liberty of creating one for me." Issei stated as he then begin to use his power again. "WELSH BLASTER BISHOP"
Issei's then armor then turns into a normal armor while having the blasters around his shoulders as he aim at Sairaorg, charging his power.
"DRAGON BLASTER" Issei then fires the beam at Sairaorg which it hits him in the process, causing him to crash down to the ground hard as the blood trickles down to his head. He struggled to get up since that attack hurt him.
"Incredible, you really have that much power?" Sairaorg asks with a grunt.
Until, they hear Rias screaming as the Red Dragon Emperor looked to see her in a bloodied state which she's injured, making him worried and angered at the same time.
"At this rate, Rias Gremory will lose too much blood and retire for the match." Regulus told him. "If you don't want her to die and forfeit the game, use your Phoenix Tears!"
"President!?" Issei shouts with worry.
"That wasn't your place, it I'd say that, then my position as King would be called into question." Sairaorg told his Pawn with a scowl. "Understand, Regulus?"
"Please forgive me." Regulus begs for forgiveness.
Issei then rush towards Rias while Regulus walks away, leaving the Red Dragon Emperor kneel right next to her as he saw her wounds.
"I can't believe I let that stupid cat take me down. Talk about pathetic." Rias groans.
"Hey, everything is going to be just fine." Issei reassures her as he pours the Phoenix Tears as it healed her, Regulus looks at Sairaorg as he spoke.
"Lord Sairaorg, I want you to don me like last time! Do that and you'll win!" Regulus shouts.
"Enough!?" Sairaorg yelled at him. "I've decided that's for emergencies, like if the Underworld was in grave danger!"
'No freakin' way! He can become stronger?' Issei mentally thought as look at Sairaorg and spoke. "I want you to use the Lion's armor."
Both Sairaorg and Rias were shocked of Issei's suggestion. Issei then stood up as he spoke.
"If I don't beat the crap out of you in your absolute strongest, then our efforts don't mean a damn thing! It's gotta be all or nothing, Sairaorg! What's the point of winning against you if you don't give this everything you've got! Come on, we're fighting for our dreams man! So the least you can do at this point is take this shit seriously!" Issei shouts with his serious expression on his face.
Rias then hugs him with a smile on her face as she spoke.
"You really are stupid." Rias told him.
"I apologize, of course I take this seriously." Sairaorg apologize with a smirk, clenching his fist. "But, I was a real fool. It's an insult to you for me to hold back in this fight, even a little bit. That time has passed. Okay, let's do this! Bring it, Issei! Regulus!"
"Right!" Regulus nods as he turns into a light as he goes to Sairaorg, given him his power.
My lion, the King of Nemea,
you who is known as the lion king,
respond to my rage and transform to my vesture
BALANCE BREAKER
Suddenly, an explosion happens and with it clearing, Sairorg is wearing a golden lion armor.
"Regulus Ray Leather Rex!" Sairorg shouts seriously. "You really inspired me Issei, for that I thank you. Now once more, try and come at me!"
"You asked for it." Issei accepts. "WELSH DRAGONIC ROOK"
Issei then rush as him with transform his armor into a heavy armor, ready to strike him with his Solid Impact technique, but it was grabbed by Sairaorg which shocked him as he tried pushing it further which cracked his armor.
"So, is that your limit?" Sairaorg grunts in anger, deliver a strong punch that broke through his armor which the Red Dragon Emperor coughs up a bit of his blood. He was in so much pain he felt so much numb as he collapse down to the ground while his armor reverts to a normal form.
Issei woke up in his state of mind, seeing the previous wielders of the Red Dragon Emperor.
"The Juggernaut Drive."
Issei then snapped out of his thought, notice the previous wielders but they were surrounded by dark auras.
"Yes, the Juggernaut Drive. You must activate the Juggernaut Drive."
'What? No, not this crap again.' Issei mentally thought.
"That is the only thing you can do that will defeat him."
'Worse segment, pain, hatred, I can feel it.' Issei thought with dread.
"Yes, embrace your dark feelings."
"Do this, and you will most certainly win."
With that, the previous wielders of the Red Dragon Emperor than tells him to unlock the Juggernaut Drive, the same power that Issei have used against Shalba and cause so much terrible pain.
'I hate Sairaorg! I want him to die! I want that roid rager to suffer!' Issei mentally growls as he hold his hand, roar with rage.
Meanwhile back at the arena, everyone watches as the children starts crying thinking he lost the fight, but only one boy never gave up.
"Don't cry you guys!" A boy named Lirenkus shouts, earned their attention along with Issei. "The Grabbin' Dragon once told me that boys shouldn't ever throw a fit or cry! He's taught me that even if we fall down, we have to keep getting back up so we can protect the ones we love!"
"That random boy is right! The Grabbin' Dragon has always stood up and defeated all of his enemies with the help of the Warrior of l'Cie, even if the odds weren't in their favors!" Irina agrees, shedding in tears. "So, we have to cheer him on, because the Grabbin' Dragon is the best hero ever! Tell me, how do you feel about him?"
"We love him so much!"
"I love him too! I mean sure he's a total pervert who is naturally falling face burst into boobs, but he's out total perv who's falling face into boobs! He's so passionate about everything including the people he loves. You know that right?" Irina asks sadly.
"Yes we do!"
"Then let's cheer him our pervy hero all together!" Irina shouts as she cheers along with the children, cheering 'Boobies!'.
Issei hears everyone cheering for him as he was crying.
"Hey, do you hear that? Those voices, they're all cheering for you, Issei." Rias told him with a smile.
'Her hair, it really is the deepest and most beautiful shade of red I've ever seen. That's right, I saw it back then too, crimson red like the color of blood. But, that's not how I see it. Now it's kind and warm, the kind of color that wraps itself around me. The kind of color that gave my life meaning.' Issei mentally thought as Rias then stood to her knees with a sad smile on her face.
Meanwhile back in his mind, the previous wielders then demands Issei more.
"Issei Hyoudou, you have to activate the Juggernaut Drive."
"Yes, you must use the power of domination. We'll annihilate him."
"Geez, you're just whiney old whimbags." Issei told them with annoyance. "Stop dicking me around!"
"You are destined to become the Dragon of Domination."
"Whatevs, I'm not really into S&M. I'm more of a delightful perv, the Grabbin' Dragon. If I'm gonna be king, I'll be a Harem King, baby!" Issei stated with a smirk.
"No, you must become the Dragon of Domination."
"Activate the Juggernaut Drive."
"That is our destiny."
"How interesting." The voice said, earned his attention when he saw a young man. "Hello, I'm one of the White Dragon Emperors in history. You maybe wondering why I'm here, well it's because you once inserted Albion's gem into your Boosted Gear, remember? This must be destiny, I would like to give you 'A'. I have a theory about you, yes, I believe you maybe able to push both Heavenly Dragons to a better fate. Let's try it out."
With that, the previous White Dragon Emperor then use the white light while the previous Red Dragon Emperors then spoke.
"Our hatred will defeat your hope."
"We hold our grudge."
"The Sacred Gear is meant to cause destruction."
"We accumulate curses while speaking out hatred."
Issei then remembered the image of women's breasts as he spoke.
"Gazongas, they saved my life one time." Issei said, smirked. "So no matter what I do, I have to chase them titties."
I, shall awaken the Heavenly Dragon who stole the principles of domination for God
"No! I'm the Red Dragon Emperor who say fuck the principle of domination."
I mock the Infinite and fret over the Dream
"I've got infinite hopes and dreams, suckas! Then, I'll be badass!"
I shall become a Red Dragon of Domination
"F' that jizz more like becoming a Red Dragon King!"
I shall drown you in the depths of Crimson Purgatory
"I promise everyone! I'll show you a future that shines of Deep Crimson!"
With that, the previous White Dragon Emperor the flash a bright light, revealing every previous Red Dragon Emperors while the darkness aura have vanished as one of them spoke.
"Future!? You think you can show us?!"
"Yeah son, chill I've got this! Or you know what? We'll show'em together." Issei stated with a confidence. "Our comrades! The women we love! And the children!"
"We can show them."
"Lets go you old geezers! I'm the Red Dragon Emperor and the Grabbin' Dragon! The man in love with Rias Gremory! I am Issei Hyoudou!"
Suddenly, Rias then look at Issei as the crimson light shines on him and her as he then stood with a new armor, leaving her widen her eyes with stunned expression. Issei's Balance Breaker has become even more powerful and shown bright crimson aura along with his new set of wings that looks similar to Vali's Divine Dividing. And so the battle between Sairaorg and Issei continues.
That's it for the 50th chapter. Sorry about the delay.
