A/N: Back with a new chapter and I'm glad that everyone enjoyed the previous chapter. Nothing much to say except fuck those ungrateful people who do nothing but cause trouble by spreading false rumors or taking advantage of the government's financial support during the pandemic. Seriously... the nerve of those assholes.
Hamm1999 - More reasons for me to hate the stupid pandemic.
Number01BlazblueFan - I played the game and watched the anime and ovas.
And with that done, let's get this chapter started!
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this fic except if it's my OCs which rarely makes an appearance.

Meanwhile, we see Ichigo Kurosaki, Kiyomasa Senji and Yuusuke Urameshi running towards to where the others are, after getting surprised that they were brought back to the real world, the trio immediately realized that something is wrong, so they decided to find the others.
"We must hurry! The others must have run into trouble!" Ichigo exclaimed.
"If so... we must help them.'' Yuusuke added.
"Babadooey! Babadooey!" Kiyomasa shouted when suddenly numerous zombies, IS Golems, dinosaurs, contaminoids and hollows blocks their path, "Woah... of course... if we could get their in time.'' he commented.
Ichigo then pulls out his large sword, "Looks like we need to get through these guys to get back with the others.'' he declared.
As the trio readied themselves to take on the adversaries in front of them, seven figures appears between them... it was none other than Bulent, Ile, Marion, Mira, Nel, Shuriya and Xuelan.
"Yo, what gives?'' Yuusuke questioned with a raised eyebrow.
Marion chuckled, "It seems like our comrades are fighting alongside yours against a third party that disrupted the game.'' she replied, "We came back to help, so I suggest we set aside our difference for now and work together to take on these creatures.'' she stated.
Ichigo scoffed, "Whatever makes you sleep at night.'' he replied.
"All right! Let's take those bitches down!" Kiyomasa declared.
And with that, the unlikely group charges towards the creatures.

Meanwhile at the track field, we see the AWA Gang, two members of the ORC and Riser's Peerage taking on the invaders alongside it's Villain Masters.
Koneko Toujou charges forward and kicks one dinosaur on the face before following with a back-flip kick, knocking the reptile down to the ground while Yuuto Kiba brought out his swords and quickly stabs on contaminoid on the head before quickly pulling just in time to slice the neck of an oncoming dinosaur.
Both Souna Sitri and Tsubaki Shinra unleashes a powerful demon magic towards a group of contaminoids, blasting them to bits while Kimial "Kim" Diehl and her partner, Jacqueline O' Lantern Dupre, the latter currently in her Demon Lamp form, Kim then swung a flaming chain around, taking down several Hollows on the process.
Yukio Okumura fired shots from his handguns, with lethal bullets, taking down one Hollow after another and even stomped one Hollow on the head before shooting it while Rin Okumura runs around, swinging his flaming blade, slicing and decapitating every creatures on the process, one zombie tried to grab him but Rin rolls out of the way before slicing the zombie by the neck, decapitating it.
"Michael Jackson" Rock Lee fought his targets with extreme speed and intensity that it's hard to follow by the normal eyes. Lee punches, kicks, elbows and knees his target to whatever part of the creature's body he sees. He then got in front of one Hollowand began to unleash a series of powerful punches before uppercutting the creature, beheading it at the process.
Izuku Midoriya then brought out a mini-bomb from his pockets, tossing it up high in the air and concentrating the Full Cowl's effects in his legs, charging up with power, "One For All: Full Cowl..." he muttered, "... Shoot Style!" he shouted before kicking the bomb with all his might, creating a massive shock wave while sending it towards the group of contaminoids, blowing them all to bits.
"Mike! Uke!" Izumo Kamiki called out as she summons two chibi-like foxes, "Take them down!" she ordered. The summoned beings complied before charging forward a group of contaminoids at very high speeds, biting and mauling every creatures on their paths.
Meanwhile, Ochako Uraraka levitates a large quantity of rubble surrounding her by pressing her fingers together, "Meteor Shower!" she bellowed as the rubble rains down on a group of dinosaurs, taking them all down one by one.
As this is going on, a group of contaminoids made their way towards Nejire Hadou as she smiled, "Here I go!" she quipped before putting her hands in front of her, "Gring Wave!" she shouted before unleashing a powerful wave, blasting the creatures away to oblivion.
Kenji Kazama then fires another torpedo towards a group of dinosaurs, blasting them to bits. He then transforms his machine gun turret into some sort of water-hose cannon before blowing out oil towards his targets, covering them on the process before transforming his weapon into a flamethrower and with a click, Kenji unleashes a powerful surge of flames towards his targets, incinerating them to ash.
Dante charges towards a group of contaminoids, jumping above them and raining them down with bullets. Dante then twist himself into an upside down position while firing more rounds towards his foes, killing them all down. Dante then grabs his blade, twisting himself back into a normal position before slicing one Hollow in half and followed this by swinging his blade sideways, decapitating a dinosaur on the process.
Dante quickly turns around and easily blocks Madoka "M" Orimura's attacks. M, currently in her IS, let's out an evil smirk, "Impressive block.'' she complimented, "But you seem to be an easy foe to beat.'' she commented with a mocking smile.
Dante smirked, "You think so?'' he questioned before pushing her back and before she strike back, Dante kicks her in the mid-section before firing several shots at her, sending her crashing to the ground.
Meanwhile, Isabela, Ni and Li takes on Matthew Patel. The twins attacks him at the same time, unleashing a furry of punches and kicks but the emo-pirate-like guy easily blocks their attacks before retaliating by poking Ni's eyes, temporary blinding her a bit and then kicking her in mid-section and throwing her towards her Li, sending them crashing to the ground.
Isabela then appears in front of him and tried to knock him out with an elbow strike but Matthew dodges by bending himself backwards before kicking her in the stomach, he then quickly grabs her head and smashes her face on his right knee, dazing her a little before getting kick aside by him.
As this going on, we see Karlamine and Siris taking down zombies and dinosaurs using the swords while Mihae is seen protecting herself using a magical barrier as Chigusa Amagasaki uses her talismans to rain down fire on her. Suddenly, Miahe reaches her limit and her magical barrier is shattered to pieces and before Chigusa was about to finish her off, Izuku charges towards her.
Izuku then propels himself off the ground into the air above Chigusa and arches his leg back, "St. Louis Smash!" he shouted before swinging his leg around around and deliversa strong vertical roundhouse kick on Chigusa's face.
"AAAAAAHH!" Chigusa screamed in pain before crashing to the ground.
Izuku then ran towards Mihae, "You all right?'' he asked with a hand reaching out to her.
Mihae looks at him with a small blush on her face, "H-Hai...'' she replied before taking his hand.
As Izuku helps Mihae up, Ochako noticed this and sported a jealous look.
Meanwhile, we see Kagari Hinata and Bartleby Farnum standing by the sides, guarded by two ginormous hollows as they watches the fight in front of them.
Farnum chuckled, "Looks at those freaks going all out in this fight.'' he commented.
"Matthew is doing good.'' Kagari pointed out, "But the same thing can't be said for both M and Amagasaki.'' she added while watching Dante thrashes M around and Izuku & Mihae double-teaming Chigusa.
"How long is this 'trial' again?'' Farnum asked.
Kagari checks on her watch, "Hmm... we have some time left before the 'trial' ends.'' she answered.
Meanwhile, Issei Hyoudou and Ravel Phenex enters the school, looking around the main hall, the two saw Asia Argento healing Riser Phenex behind a desk.
"Asia!" Issei called out.
"Onii-sama!" Ravel called out in concern.
Asia turns to them, "I-Issei-san!" she replied.
The two quickly ran towards her with Ravel kneeling next to Riser, "Onii-sama! Onii-sama!" she called out but no response, "What happened?" she asked Asia.
"A strange man made his presence in front of us and when he commented that your brother is pathetic, your brother got angry and attacked him. However, the strange man overpowered him by draining his strength and mana, and as well as his life force.'' Asia explained which made Ravel gasped in shock, "If it weren't for President, the man would have ended your brother's life.'' she finished.
"Wait a minute.'' Issei chimed in, "Where is the president?'' he asked.
But before Asia could utter a reply, they heard a loud crash, the three looks up to see Rias Gremory sliding down from a cracked wall before falling down the floor, writhing in pain with half of her clothes torn off.
Flirtare stood a few feet from Rias' fallen state, "You're good... I'll give you that.'' he complimented, "If you were a member of the Apostles... you're probably in the bishop level.'' he stated, "But you're still no match against a knight-level Apostle such as myself.'' he claimed.
"President!" Issei shouted before running towards Rias.
"Issei-san!" Asia shouted.
Issei kneels next to Rias and held her up, "President! Are you okay?!" he asked in concern and worry.
Rias slowly opens her eyes while still sporting a face filled with pain, "Get out here, Issei...'' she advised, "That man... his power... is too much...'' she muttered in pain.
Flirtare spoke, "Listen to her, loser boy... you demons are no match against a powerful entity such as myself.'' he advised with a grin.
This angered Issei before gently placing Rias down, he then stood up and glares at Flirtare, "You son of a bitch! I'm gonna kick your ass!" he shouted pointing his red scaly fingers at the pink-haired Apostle.
"Issei, stop!" Rias admonished.
"Hoho~ Didn't you hear that woman?'' Flirtare questioned with a grin, "My powers will be too much for a scrawny loser like you.'' he pointed out.
"I'm aware and I don't care!" Issei replied, "If I walk away then I'm proven to myself that not only I'm a loser but also a coward! But I'm no coward! I promised President that I'll become strong, so I can protect her and I won't be able to do that if I ran away! And what kind of a man I am if I just let some jerk that hurt the President walk away like that! I'm gonna beat you up for hurting her!" he declared.
"And you really think you can beat me?'' Flirtare arrogantly flaunts his non-existential muscle.
Issei got into a battle stance, "I don't know If I can...'' he admitted, "... however, I'm going to become her strongest pawn! If it's for the President, I'll overthrow God myself!" he declared.
Rias' eyes widen, "I-Issei...'' she muttered with blush on her cheeks.
Meanwhile behind the desk, as Asia continues to heal Riser, Ravel stares at Issei in awe with a blush on her cheeks, she can't help but admit that her heart skipped a bit after seeing his determination.
Flirtare's smile then gotten bigger, "Well then...'' he muttered before getting into a battle stance, "... show me the money.'' he egged.
The gem on Issei's Booster Gear suddenly glows, "Glow, Overboost!" he shouted while raising his left arm up as his Booster Gear let's out a bright red glow.
"Welsh Dragon Over-booster!" his Sacred Gear announced which made Rias gasped in shock.
Suddenly, Issei's entire body is covered with red scaled-armor, "This is the power of the Emperor Dragon...'' he declared before gaining a dragon-like helmet, "Balance Breaker, Booster Gear Scale Mail!" he declared.
"Balance Breaker?'' Rias muttered in awe, "A forbidden move?'' she questioned.
"Remember... you only had ten shots in with this.'' his Sacred Gear reminded.
"Yosh!" Issei replied.
Suddenly, Flirtare charges towards him in extreme speed, "INTERESTING!" he shouted in amusement with his left fist glowing brightly with dark energy before thrusting it forward but Issei caught it with his right hand.
"HRUUAAAGGHHH!" Issei roared before punching Flirtare hard on the face, sending the pink-haired young man crashing and tumbling on the floor, Issei then created a red colored energy ball and launches it towards his foe.
Flirtare quickly got back up like a snake before pulling out a blade and slicing the energy ball in half when Issei suddenly appears in front of him and smashes another fist on his face which sends Flirtare crashing to a wall. The pink-haired slides down from the wall and onto his feet before letting out a diabolical laughter, "MWAHAHAHAHA!" laughing madly, "COME ON! IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?! SHOW ME MORE!" he challenged while charging his fist with a powerful dark energy before charging forward.
Issei the charges back at him with his left hand glowing green and when their first collided, it created a massive explosion which sends Issei crashing to a wall. leaving a dent on it.
Issei writhed in pain, "If it wasn't for this armor...'' he muttered before sluggishly getting down on his feet, "J-Just how strong is this guy...?'' he questioned.
"COME ON! ARE YOU DONE? WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR RESOLVE?!" Flirtare shouted in a mocking yet excited tone.
Issei got back into a fighting stance, "I AIN'T DONE YET?!'' he declared.
"THEN COME AT ME, YOU!" Flirtare egged with a diabolical expression.
Issei and Flirtare, once again, charges at one another and before their attacks could collide, a person steps right between the two.
"That's enough, Flirtare!" the person admonished. The person is none other than Ikaruga, "The 'trial' has exceeded it's time limit, you are ordered to head back.'' she advised.
"W-Who are you?!" Issei demanded in surprise but was ignored.
"Ehh~? Do we have to end this now? I'm having a blast, trading blows with this dude.'' Flirtare mused while gesturing a hand towards Issei.
Ikaruga then lightly pushes him back, "Orders are orders.'' she reminded as a red vortex appears behind them.
Flirtare let's out an amused sigh before looking at Issei, "Sorry buddy but looks like we had to cut this fight short.'' he said, "But don't worry...'' he reassured, "... I don't mind having another round with you in the next time around.'' he mused as he and Ikaruga enters the red vortex.
"Hey! Wait!" Issei demanded and tried to reach for them but they're long gone, "Dammit!" he cursed before sighing, "Well at least... he's the one who ran away from the fight and not me.'' he muttered before transforming back to normal before jogging towards Rias, "President, are you all right?'' he asked in concern.
Rias nodded, "I'm fine.'' she answered with a smile, "Thank for your fighting in my honor, Issei.'' she said in gratitude.
Issei smiled back, "I'm your pawn... you know I'll do anything for you.'' he declared.
Rias then sported a blush on her cheeks, "Issei...'' he muttered.
Meanwhile back in the track field and as the chaos continues on, Kagari checks on her watch.
"Looks like we've exceeded the time limit of this 'trial'.'' Kagari pointed out, "Time to head back.'' she beckoned as Farnum responded by nodding his head before tapping his staff on the ground as several red vortex appeared all over the place.
"Ugh! What now?!" Kenji demanded in annoyance.
Kagari chuckled deviously, "Don't worry... we're not bringing out anymore monsters if that's what your thinking.'' she reassured, "We've exceeded the time limit of this 'trial', so we're making our leave.'' she explained, "Let's go everyone!" she ordered.
And with that, the remaining monsters jumps into the vortex while Matthew delivers one last blow on Isabela's jaw which sends her crashing to the ground before running off, picking up the unconscious body of Chigusa and then jumping into a portal.
M glares at Dante one last time before retreating into a portal as the Nephilim smirks in amusement.
As Farnum jumps into a vortex, Kagari turns to everyone, "You're lucky this is only 'trail'... a 'standard' will be a lot more troublesome for you guys.'' she stated with a grin.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Kenji demanded, "Trial?! Standard?! What the hell those words even mean?!" he questioned in frustration.
Kagari chuckled, "Fufu~ Figure it out.'' she replied before blowing a kiss towards Kenji and then jumping into vortex before vanishing in thin air.
Kenji facefaulted, "Damn those mongrels.'' he growled in annoyance.
"Guys!" a voice called as everyone turns to see Ichigo, Kiyomasa, Yuusuke, Bulent, Marion, Shuriya, Xuelan, Mira, Ile and Nel running towards them, "Everyone okay?'' Ichigo asked.
"We're fine.'' Kenji answered, "Annoyed... but fine.'' he added with a blank look.
"Sorry if we came in late.'' Yuusuke apologized, "We were making our way here when those invaders blocked our path and when they suddenly retreated, we quickly made our way here.'' he explained, "But it seems like you've taken care of things.'' he pointed out.
"Actually...'' Izuku spoke, "... our enemies also retreated when they told us that they've exceeded the time limit of their 'trial'.'' he explained.
"Trial? What the heck is that?" Kiyomasa questioned in confusion.
Kenji facefaulted, "That's what we want to know.'' he grumbled in annoyance.
"So, what should we do now?'' Rin asked.
Yuuto then spoke, "We should check on the President and the others.'' he suggested.
Souna nodded, "That's a good idea.'' she said in agreement.
And with that, the large group made their way towards the main building of the school when Ochako remembers something or someone.
"Wait! What about Chizuru?" Ochako reminded.
"Chizuru is big boy, he can take care of himself.'' Kenji replied, "Besides... Akeno is with him, so he'll be fine.'' he reassured.
Meanwhile, we see Chizuru Tachibana and Chikage Tachibana clashing blades, moving in extreme speeds trying to land a blow at each other. And when the two locked swords and with all his strength, Chizuru pushes Chikage back and tried to kick him but his opponent quickly dodges by flipping himself backwards. Just then, Akeno Himejima and Yubelluna unleashes a lightning attack and fire attack respectively towards Chikage which he gracefully dodges by doing series of back flips.
"Hoho~ It looks like that you can't beat me without the help of the others!" Chikage mocked.
"Silence, you imbecile!" Chizuru exclaimed, "I can totally kick your ass all by myself but I don't wanna be rude, so I let the lovely ladies attack you as well because I'm pretty sure that they're pretty pissed off at you.'' he pointed out.
"He is right.'' Akeno said in agreement.
"As much as I don't want to admit it... he is right.'' Yubelluna admitted.
Chikage then got into a battle stance with his blade ready to be thrust forward, "Well then... I'll take you all down.'' he declared with a grin.
Suddenly, a red vortex appears behind Chikage, surprising Chizuru and the two girls on the process as Squall Meusel steps out from it, "We've exceeded the time limit of this trial, Chikage-kun, we need to head back.'' she announced.
Chikage sighed, "Already?'' he muttered in disappointment.
"Who is that?'' Akeno asked.
Chizuru stares at Squall for a few minutes before recognizing her, "Ah! It's Squall Meusel! The leader of Phantom Task!" he exclaimed with a finger pointed at her, "Holy shit!'' he cursed, "Is Phantom Task now part of the Apostles?!" he exclaimed in disbelief.
Squall chuckled, "That is right~" she confirmed.
Chikage then puts away his blade, "It's a shame that our fight is once again interrupted.'' he said, "But I don't mind... I had fun taking you three on.'' he admitted, "Next time though... if went 'standard'... I hope that you and I will get to fight alone.'' he stated with a grin.
"Standard?! What the heck is that?!" Chizuru demanded as Squall and Chikage enters the vortex, "Hey! Don't leave without answering my questions!" he called out but the two are long gone as the vortex disappeared without a trace, "Damn it! Freaking assholes!" he grumbled in annoyance.
Akeno then spoke, "At least we don't have to worry about them for now.'' she stated, "What should we do now?'' she asked.
"Let's go meet up with the others.'' Chizuru suggested, "I'm pretty sure that they've face the same problems as us.'' he stated.
And with that, the unlikely trio made their way to the others.
And that's it for this chapter for now and I hope that you all enjoy it. And you're all wondering when did Issei learned how to use the Balance Breaker... well it happened off-screen during the training chapters in the same night where learned to use Dress Break.
Next chapter... the aftermath of the chaos and the result of the Rating Games, so please look forward for it.
Until then paalam!
