I groan as I stand up and stretch. 'aaaalright, yesterday's problems still weigh on me, but now I should work on my scheme.'

I leave the apartment with a smile on my face, then walk slightly to the left and knock on the door of our neighbors.

The door is opened about a second later as Wes blankly stares at me with half lidded eyes... well, 'stares'.

"Hey, Lu... how are you?"

"Pretty good." I yawn. "Just got up and realized we really haven't done anything in like a month, so I wanted to invite you and Zen on a fun little adventure I'm going on in... thirteen days?"

"Wait... what?"

"Yeah, I was going to some classic fight stuff, no chance of death though, I'll make sure of that~"

"So... just like... You, me, and Zen?" Wes slowly asks.

"And Kohaku... he seems pretty chill..." I shrug.

"No Mittelt?" Wes slowly asks.

"Nah, she would say no because it is devil related~ also she would freak out, so you can't tell her about it."

He blinks once then steps out of the way and gestures me inside. "Alright... come in."

I walk inside and sit down on the couch as he flops down in a chair. "Soooo, what's the deal with this?"

"A devil, Rias' fiancé, sexually harassed her for an hour, then threatened to kill everyone in the room if she didn't go back to the underworld with him, now they are going to have a fight in two weeks which I get to join in as a third party... possibly..." I hum. "Now, I hate this guy, so I leapt at the opportunity..."

"So. Basically I have to fight Rias, Akeno, Asia, Issei, Koneko, Kiba, fiancé himself and fifteen other people from the dickhead's harem..."

"Why... exactly are they letting you fight?"

"Rias' big brother is literally Lucifer and he doesn't want her marrying that douche anymore... but, due to politics he can't disband the marriage, buuut, he just so happens to be using this battle- because Rias doesn't stand a chance, her five people vs Riser's fifteen- to test 'his' brand new idea of a battle royal rating game!"

"Why do we have to fight him thouuugh." Wes groans.

"Hey, I thought it would be pretty fun~" I shrug. "And besides, that douchebag molests lolis."

"…" he is silent for a moment.

"I don't think you are in any position of comment on that with that girlfriend of yours..." Wes deadpans.

"Ouch."

He tilts his head slightly and taps his chin. "But... yeah, we haven't done anything fun together since the church... hmm... I'll talk to Zen about it, he'll probably say 'yeah'."

"Neato." I shrug. "Well, I'm off to the station to see off the group of fucking idiots~"

I blankly stare at the Gremory group- sans Gremory- sitting around the train station, waiting for the next train to come.

"…"

"Alright, I'll bite... where's Red?" I slowly ask.

Akeno looks over to me as I arrive and lets out a simple hum. "Rias has gone to retrieve a brand-new peerage member."

"Hm?" I mutter. "Where the fuck did she get a new one?"

I let out a sigh and shake my head. "What sort of poor schmuck did she target this time? A five-year-old? A cripple? A teen whose mother is really sick? A-"

A pair of hands cover my eyes. "Guess who."

"AAAAAAAAAAAA-"

I slap the hands off my eyes, and do a quick combat roll forwards where I quickly spin around and stand up, wielding a glock.

Standing there... is Pauline herself... surprisingly bat-less with a smug smile and slightly narrowed eyes, not narrowed in an angry way however, but in a way to make her exude even more smugness. "Well well well, Lu, never expected to see me again did you bitch?"

I look slightly to the left of the black haired psychopath to where Rias is standing, looking slightly confused by my reaction.

"WHAT DID YOU DO, RIAS?!" I shout at the red haired princess.

"What?" Pauline asks with a small smile. "Not so cocky now that you aren't the only one who can cheat death?"

"STAY DEAD YOU PSYCHO BITCH!"

Rias slowly looks between myself and Pauline. "…"

Then stares at me with a grimace. "Lucas. I will not have you threatening my new rook in such a way."

"SHE FUCKING CAVED IN MY FACE WITH A FUCKING BAT, RIAS!" I shout at the girl. "I'll do what I damn PLEASE about this bitch!"

Pauline scoffs. "I won't come after you if you don't come after me... my dept to Akisame is done, I will protect my new master with my life."

"Bitch! You came after Zen and Wes for shits and giggles!" I shout. "I don't FUCKING Believe you!'

I close my eyes and inhale. "Fuck it. Stay the hell away from me."

I scoff and turn around, gun lost sometime during my rant. "Rias, keep your 'new cool and powerful rook' away from me... I don't want to deal with her bullshit anymore... also she fucking terrifies me."

I walk away, pausing next to Koneko who is sitting on a bench on my way to the exit of the station. "Watch the new girl alright? She could probably kill you, Kiba and Issei before she was even a devil... but now that she's a rook... Rias might not need those two weeks to beat Riser anymore."

The white-haired girl simply munches on a cookie, then gives me a slow thumbs up.

"Alright... cool." I nod, taking a brief moment to look over the entire group.

"Don't die~" I hum before turning around and walking away.

"Heeey Kohaku, want to join me in a devil death battle?" It took me a while to actually find an opportune time to ask him, but, eh I already sort of knew he was going to join anyways.

"W-" he inhales for a moment. "Why would I ever say yes to that?"

"We get one wish from Satan himself if we save his sister from an arranged marriage?" I shrug.

"I'm in." He deadpans immediately.

"Don't worry, if you are worried about the fact that I said death battle, that isn't actually the ca- wait... you said yes that quickly?" I ask.

"Sure. I agree. I need that wish." He states.

"…"

"Alllriiight" I slowly blink. "Sad backstory stuff?"

"Sad backstory stuff." He nods.

"Ok" I shrug. "Neat... I realize at this point we don't really hang out much anymore, do we?"

"Mn." He shrugs as he goes back to mopping the floor.

"Cool, cool." I shrug. "The fight is in ten days, I have a general plan for each person so I'm going to go over that before we start... anyways, see ya buddy!"

I turn and walk away, but I am briefly stopped by a single word.

"Lucas."

"Hm?" I hum as I glance over my shoulder.

"Why are you so intent on fighting? You made it sound like we only get one wish, so... why are you giving it up so easily?" Kohaku asks.

"Well..." I grin. "That's a good question."

I tap my chin. "It really has to do with boredom... living a peaceful life like I have been for the past month is good n' all, but... I just crave excitement! I can't really explain it, but I feel more at home within a fight than anywhere else."

"Is that desire enough for you to actively fling the world around you into chaos?" He slowly asks.

"Mn? No, of course not... that's dumb. Like who do you think I am?" I scoff. "I have no need for the wish because I can make all of my dreams come true with but a thought."

"And a good month of naps... can never really go wrong with naps." I finish as I turn away. "Anyways, see you in ten days where we can thrash a pedophile and his harem of little girls."

"Wh-"

"Don't ask." I deadpan over my shoulder.

The day has come and it is going to be GLORIOUS!

I look between my three friends. "Alright, we all know what we are supposed to do?"

They all nod once.

"Grand." I grin. "oho I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when I pull this shit off."

"Lu, are you excited because that one girl is a jojo fan?" Wes slowly asks.

"No..." I weakly deny.

"…"

"Yes." I eventually sigh.

Pov: Kohaku

With a flash we all appear in the janitor's closet, a place I know well.

"Uhhhh, Lu?" The small blind one slowly begins. "Where are we?"

"Janitor's closet." The white-haired teen answers with a grin.

"wait... how do you know t-" I begin.

"I broke in here earlier this week in order to plot out my little scheme... everything's going to plan!" Lucas grins, punching a fist into his open palm.

"Y-You WH-"

"Your attention please..."

I am cut off again as a female voice radiates around us.

"Welcome everyone, my name is Grayfia... I am a servant of the house of Gremory... I will be your referee in today's match."

"To create the battlefield you will be competing in, I have taken suggestions from both, Lord Riser Phenix and Lady Rias Gremory, you may recognize this as a complete replica of Kuoh Academy... however, I will be the first to tell you that this will not be your normal rating game."

She pauses for a moment, most likely giving the other players to quietly ask 'what does she mean by that?'

"For you see, Maou Lucifer has decided to use this mock rating game to test one of his newer ideas... As lady Rias is forbade from using one of her strongest pieces, and she lacks other important pieces, a much fairer scenario has been created... this match will be the first- of hopefully many- battle royal rating games."

She pauses for another moment.

"As we speak, a third party is acting throughout the new school house, in this scenario, there are no allies, only enemies, however, the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and in this case, temporary truces may be formed to tackle stronger opponents, but both members should know fully well that there is nothing stopping their 'ally' from betraying them at an opportune moment."

"Did she just give us the go-ahead to start 'the scheme'?" Lucas mutters.

"I'd say she did." Zen shrugs.

"Sweet!" The white haired brawler grins as he throws open the door and walks outside. "Kohaku, do the thing, Wes, go play some mine-sweeper, Zen. Go have some fun. Me? I'm going to go stir up some trouble~"

"Each team has been given an area that serves as a home base, sans the third party, Lady Rias, your crew will be in the occult research club headquarters in the old school building, Lord Riser's home base will be located in the principal's office of the new school house. Pawns of the opposing team may be promoted if they make it to the base of the opposing team, however, the third party does not have a home base, thus they may not promote, a blessing and a curse, they can leave their starting position without worry of foes becoming stronger, but they, themselves cannot gain strength upon making it to an enemy's stronghold."

Lucas reaches into his sleeve and pulls out three crosses and a couple vials of water, pausing briefly as he places them in my hand. "You know what to do Jotaro~"

"Good Luck to All..."

"We have like a minute before the game actually begins! Break!" Lucas grins as he turns and rushes off down a seemingly random corridor in the direction of the lunchroom. "KYAHAHAH!"

I briefly look over to the calm one and the blind one. "Is he alwa-"

""Yes.""

"Oh. Ok."

We all split up, Wes and Zen briefly going in the same direction, before Wes summons a Katana and smashes the window with a blade of wind, then he proceeds to leap out of said window even though we are on the second floor.

"Alright..." I murmur. "One job. I can do this. Don't lose my shit at the fact that the blind one caused SO much property damage... this isn't the real thing... I don't have to clean up... I don't have to-"

I sharply inhale, twisting on a dime and rush over to the broken window, then I quickly mop up the broken shards of glass.

"DAMNIT!" I roar, disappointment clear about my cleaning urges getting the best of me.

"Let the game begin!"

"PISS!" I shout as I run down the hallway towards where I need to go.

Meanwhile... with Sona...

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING OOOOOON?!"

"I can't believe what a good copy this place is..." Issei murmurs.

"They're here." Koneko deadpans.

The lights suddenly turn on with a loud thrum, then a simple voice calls out. "Smells like Gremory Filth~ come out come out where ever you are~"

Standing in the center of the gym and three pawns and one Rook... the first two pawns are twins, each with mint green hair and blue eyes, and carrying large bags that hang off their shoulders, they wear a white t-shirt and wear tight black shorts that stop about six inches above the knees.

The third pawn is a blue haired girl with a blunted staff, wearing red and white Japanese-esque clothing that stops just below the waist, her hair is tied up into four loose ponytails, two going upwards, and two going down.

The rook is a black-haired girl with hair tied into buns on the sides of her head, she wears a blue dress with a white ribbon tied around her waist, there is a large gash down the lower part of the dress, exposing one of her legs.

"Look what we have here~" the rook hums. "Rias sent us both a rook and a pawn! Little Issei needed some help huh?"

"Who are they?" Issei slowly asks.

"I'm Mira, and I'm a phoenix pawn." The blue haired pawn announces.

"I'm Xuelan(A/n Pronounced 'Shueran'… apparently...)A phoenix rook."

"My name's Nel and I'm a pawn!" One of the twins exclaims.

"I'm Ile and I'm also a pawn!" The other finishes.

Koneko freezes for a moment. "Wait... someone else is here!"

"I'm Zen... and I'm a human." A new person makes his presence known, appearing literally from nowhere as if coalescing from black hazy mist... right in the middle of the three pawns and rook.

They all instantly snap their heads in the direction of the voices, but his fist slams into the side of Xuelan's head and causes her to skip across the floor where she slowly rolls to a stop just before the wall.

""YOU!"" The twins roar as they reach into their bags and pull out chainsaws ""We're gonna tear you to pieces!""

Then he disappears again, the room starts spinning and a misty echo-e voice passes throughout the gym. "Perhaps... but you will have to catch me first."

Three of Riser's Pawns and one of Riser's Rooks VS Rias' Pawn and Rias' Rook VS Zen!

Meanwhile...

A group of three are quickly making their way through a forest.

"Ugh... this fog is so thick... I can't see anything..." One of the girls in a maid outfit grumbles, brushing a hand through her brown hair.

A red glyph lights up, shooting a couple beams at them, causing the girls to leap up to avoid it. "A trap?" The one with silvery hair in what is basically a bikini asks. "Did they seriously expect something that lame would work?!"

"The Gremory's are dumber than I thought~" the first French maid pawns smirk.

"A cute trick from a rating game virgin~" The second laughs, also with brown hair.

After about thirty more seconds of jumping and disabling glyphs the second maid lets out a sigh. "Do they actually think that these traps are going to stop us?"

They spy a building through the trees. "Hey... that's their home base, isn't it?"

They quickly dash over and look up at it, one of the girls laughing out loud. "HAH! Too easy~!"

The building fades into nothing, causing one of the girls to let out a sigh and glare at the one who called this 'Easy'.

"Hello ladies!" A gentlemanly voice grins as Kiba slowly walks out of the forest. "You gals looking for some company?"

"'Cause if you are feeling lonely this evening, I might be the man for you~" he continues.

"Damn... we walked right into that one, didn't we?" One of the maids sigh as a massive glyph appears above them.

"What we lack in manpower, girls, we make up for it in brains~" Kiba grins.

The bikini wearing pawn speaks up. "I don't want to burst your bubble, because you are sort of my type, blondie, but do you really expect to beat all three of us?"

"Why don't we find ou-" Kiba stops speaking and suddenly draws his blade, parrying a slash which hits with a boom of thunder, causing his feet into sink about an inch into the dirt below him.

"A holy sword?" He hisses, eyes narrowing as he stares up at Wes who is paused just above him.

Just as everyone starts to get their bearings, Wes is struck by a bolt of lightning and disappears.

Everyone stops and slowly looks around, the misty forest suddenly becoming a lot spookier now there is a pint-sized slasher on the loose.

Wes VS Rias' Knight VS Three of Riser's Pawns!

"Ah fuck. Ah shit... I'm late..." Kohaku whispers to himself as rushes through the hallways of the new school building. 'it was supposed to be simple! Put the holy water and the cross in the water tank connected to the fire sprinklers, but I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO EVEN BEGIN SEARCHING FOR THAT! We check it, what? Once every five or so years? I have only been working at Kuoh or like a year! They placed new pipes a MONTH before I started!'

I turn a corner, in front of me is a simple locked trap door leading under the ground floor. 'it should be in there, right?'

*Tak... Tak... Tak... Tak...*

I shiver as a noise makes itself known, it is about twenty feet behind me, down the hallway.

The hairs on my neck raise as the sound of high heels clicking on tile grows closer and closer.

I slowly turn my head around to spy a purple haired woman, tits barely contained by her dress as stops about ten feet away and looks me up and down.

"Hn... you must be part of that third party we were told about..." She hums, twisting the staff in her hand back and forth. "What's a human doing in devil affairs, hmm?"

A bit of sweat runs down my forehead. 't-this is one of those 'queens' I have been warned about, yes?'

"…"

"Aren't going to say anything?" She hums. "Hn... I wonder if the retirement system will work on you... being human and all."

"Does that mean that the other third-party members are also human? Peh! That's kind of droll I suppose." She scoffs. "will you be a dear and tell me all that you know about your allies~ if you do, maybe I won't have to detonate your hands... then your feet, finger by finger... toe by toe till you decide to tell me~"

I slowly inhale, sweat pouring down my forehead, turn back the way I was looking moment before... I pick up my mop, propping it on my shoulders.

"So... you finally found me hm?" I ask in the gruffest voice I can manage.

"You weren't being very quiet about it... it wasn't that ha-"

While she is mid-sentence, I sprint with all my might, down the hallway and away from this demon, uttering a mighty war cry. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

Kohaku vs Riser's Queen!

I sit down on the stacked tables, taking a final breath of clean and calm air, the probability of someone finding me is 100%, so, I'm waiting in a place that allows me to fight to the best of my abilities.

"You know... Thought Occurs..." I mutter to myself. "The principal's office has cameras, doesn't it?"

Just then the doors to the cafeteria explode inwards.

Seven girls walk in, drill girl included.

"Oh... honestly I didn't expect this many, but it will do." I shrug

A girl in a biker jacket with a half mask and red streaks in her brown hair speaks up-

"Your next line is 'You won't get away with disgracing Riser like that you bastard!' To you."

"You won't get away with disgracing Riser like that you b-" she flinches and takes a step back as I stand up on my table pile and take a single step off, where I fall a good five feet to the floor where I land with a crouch.

"Oh, this is going to be so much fun~" I grin as I stand again. "Allow me to educate you all on just what it means to have the power of god and anime on your side."

They flinch at the word.

"Oh right... you people have a crippling weakness..." I murmur.

I look up with a cocky grin. "God, God, Goddy, Godly God, God."

Several of them are actually clutching their heads at this point.

In the distance I hear 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-'

Then with a simple smirk a give them a 'what can you do' shrug and state. "My god, some girl's in trouble!"

"RAAAGH!" Two sword wielding girls roar and blur forwards just as I press the 'play' button on the hello kitty stereo cd boombox that is sitting in a little shelf I made within the tables... it was the only one they had that was in my price range... don't judge me...

"COME ON THEN!" I cackle as I raise my fists with a colossal grin on my face.

Lucas Vs two of Riser's Pawns, one of Riser's Rooks, two of Riser's Knights, and two of Riser's Bishops!

When you are eating a burrito and your tooth crunches c: anywaaays posting this early as I am going to the dentist tomorrow and well... I have had bad experiences with dentestry, so I sort of want to wait and see if good ol kim's Christmas present is a nuke on my doorstep (I really hope it is) but on the other hand, eating with one side of my mouth in constant fear of even slightly touching my canine teeth is a REAL hassle, so I'm probably going to go get it fixed. Anyways, see ya!
