Psycho DxD

Chapter 3

Psycho Proposal

Psycho Black had finally done it, he easily dealt with one never ending issue he had, finally finding some proof of other evil warlords out there in the universe and try to contact them, all that was left of the forces of evil were those that were out of reach of whatever it was that the rangers did. So the Psycho transmitted a message out that the United Alliance of Evil has one member left standing, to rally to him so that the empire could be restarted, for some reason though he made it sound like he was the heir to the throne, though he technically was the heir to the throne. Since Dark Specter built Ecliptor, created him for evil and all, and Ecliptor adopted Astronema, and then Astronema followed Dark Specter and built the five Psychos, it would be Dark Specter as king, Ecliptor as crown prince, Astronema the princess, and Psychos princesses and princes. Dark Specter is dead, that fact was clear since Astronema was rumored to take up the title of Queen of Evil for a time, Ecliptor giving up his right to the throne since he didn't want it and his daughter was built for it, but now Astronema is either dead or good, so she's cut off now.

The only real person any of them can follow now is Psycho Black, if the other Psychos didn't come back the same way as him then it would be clear that he's next in line, if not then it would fall to Psycho Red, and after him Psycho Blue, then Psycho Yellow, and finally Psycho Pink. The final pin in line of succession though wouldn't really be if the other Psychos were alive, it might be more convenient to just have another potential monarch take their place since they were technically made to fight and do battle more than rule, ruling wasn't even a thought. So if Psycho Black did find the other Psychos, and the rest of the scattered or different evil forces, they will still have an evil empire to aid in conquering the universe, and if none can be found, contacted, or convinced of anything, then it'll be clear that he needed to start from scratch. Making himself the only monarch or potential ruler of the side of evil, build up his forces slowly and over time, some would require fear to inspire, others he'd have to gain their respect, and the last group he'd need to convince them that he's the preferred option to taking his side.

The potential plan was all going to depend on one thing though that these morons that he was training got caught up on the uptake, Psycho Black had them all stretch before running laps, doing push-ups, sit-ups, butterfly kicks, and various other workouts that strengthened them. Koneko got through it all without breaking a sweat while Rias and Akeno were lacking, Kiba was sweating a bit but nothing signifying he was overwhelmed, meaning it wasn't hard enough, so he added weights to both him and Koneko that made it all harder to pull off. After the physical was the mental and magical strengthening, Rias and Akeno excelled at this, going over the basics and then more advanced techniques, Kiba had no talent for this yet he could easily use a power called sword birth that used magic as well, the skills should equate. That finally left Koneko, if that moronic little girl held back too much then the Psycho would personally just find her fucking sister and sick the black cat on her, stray or not, insane or not, he didn't care as long as the bitch didn't hold back anymore and risk the potential plan he had. After the disappointingly uneven skills displayed on the training, he had them line up and start sparing with him, all of them versus him, and so far it had gone as bad, for them, as one might expect as compared to how good, for nobody, it could have gone.

This was not going as planned, all four teaming up to take on the damn Psycho has just proven to be as ineffective as them going against him one on one, when Kiba went in with his speed, Koneko was thrown against him, when Koneko went in, she was shocked from Akeno's lightning. Rias often went in for a destruction charged attack, only to be shocked when Psycho Black jumped over it and proceeded to pound her into the ground with nothing but his fists, by the time he stopped or the others got to where they were to get him off her, she was sore all over. Kiba went in for a sideways sword slash while his back was turned, only to meet his hand catching the blade and lightning leaving him burned on the side of the field, Koneko coming in afterwards would have been a breather if she managed to land a hit, but every time was a failure. Either she was blocked, parried, dodged, or her momentum was used against her to send her laying on her back, this last time she tried he dodged a right jab by going under it and kneeing her in the gut before using the same leg to kick her to where Kiba lay unconscious. Akeno and Rias were the last two to fall, Akeno trying to throw the Psycho off balance with lightning while Rias was using her power of destruction whenever he looked to have tripped, trouble was that it took time to charge up a good blast to send his way, so it was easy to dodge that as well. Eventually they both tired themselves out with the constant back and forth and proved that they had less stamina than what they thought, so as they slowed down they were helpless against the series of jabs and punches and kicks that they were pounded with that led to them fallen.

"You four are some morons in not actually be using teamwork to fight, and that's one thing I hate to admit to anyone," Psycho Black said walking up to them after fighting them, "you could have gave me a challenge if you covered the magic attacks and magically enhanced the physical." The Psycho felt like a fucking teacher now that he was giving them and was about to give them practical fighting advice, "Red Tits still takes too much time for the bigger attacks at the worst moment, and Thunder Thighs can't alternate between physical and magical worth a damn. Gold Dick can't fight for too long because the dumbass uses the wrong swords for the wrong things and gets emotions too involved in the fight, and the worst thing is White Pussy over here," he bent down and glared at her as she was on her knees, "learn to use your full power."

Koneko glared back at him as he stood up straight and turned to walk away, the rest of the peerage glaring at his back as the Psycho teleported away in a distorted ripple of reality distorting waves and the only one that could comment on his way of leaving was Koneko, "evil bastard."


Days later

Psycho Black had just sent out the official transmit code to the evil warlord that he had found earlier and now all he had to do was wait, he gave them a way to contact him, now all that remained was for them to contact him and offer a deal of some sort, it might take a while. So it wasn't really a surprise that he'd have time to keep working on things in his own headquarters in the warehouse he bought, what he has come to call the Interim Dark Fortress in his head, which was looking like a darker, caged off maze of a headquarters than the original fortress. This all left Psycho Black fine, since the original Dark Fortress wasn't really his favorite place to be, and now he got to design is very own, so this was literally like his very own Dark Fortress, yet he wanted to keep up the name so he kept calling it the Interim Dark Fortress. The IDF also came with his own personal favorite thing, a monitor that he set up to receive signals from both space and on Earth with a constant background program dictated to looking at a camera he had installed in the clubroom with the devils and another scanning space.

Psycho Black himself dug up the underground as deep and as structurally sound as he could to make himself a nice little training room as well, the current level of power of the devils, that of an unmorphed ranger with basic enhanced physical skills, was not going to aid in his own training. The Psycho instead began to train in the 'boosted gear' that would serve as a trump card to make his energy and attacks reach explosive levels of power, yet he wasn't stupid enough to test a power at full power when you didn't have to, so he went to his Issei form and started the tests. The Psycho found out some interesting things, and it started to all come together in the way of truly putting focus on the fact that this 'boosted gear' can not only boost power, but it can also conceptually boost things as well, from the physical to the abstract concepts of skills, and abilities. It'll come in handy from now on if he comes across an enemy that is troubling to fight, especially the devils that have odd magic that he doesn't know of, a unique power to that devil clan, instant healing, time manipulation, if the Gremory's and Bael's power of destruction.

Speaking of the devils, there had been something strange happening with Red Tits for a while now, staring off into space at random times while also acting like she didn't hear who she should have heard when being talked to, and to a small extent it's starting to affect her training. Not to the point that it's noticeable to everyone, her oldest friend Thunder Thighs would clearly have already known about it while the others might begin to wonder only, and of course, you have what happened last night, a magic circle appearing in the clubroom without warning. Rias was already in there so Psycho Black was about to head there if the incoming devil or supernatural entity was hostile, but seeing the red head calm down and turned stone faced, it was clear it someone that she knew, and he had to only see the figure emerge to realize who. So it was finally time for the Gremory family to make its move, pushing for that wedding to the Phenex that was, in actuality, a move to sell Riser off and into a noble family so he wasn't forgotten, meaning that the peerage needed to be there, he smirked at the thought of it.

Everyone else was in the clubroom, Kiba was sitting with Koneko on the couch, Akeno stood to Rias's left while the red haired princess herself was sitting at her desk, Grayfia, a maid working for the house of Gremory, stood with her back turned to the door when he finally walked in. "My lady, if you don't mind, may I have your permission to speak openly," Grayfia asked but Rias held up her hand as if to say hold on for a minute, after that it looked like Rias was about to say something else but stopped as if trying to find what to say, before something happened.

A magic circle formed on the ground before a wave of fire shot out and out came a blonde man in a red suit, he spoke when the fires died down, "and Riser has arrived in the human realm, I've come all this way to see you, my beloved Rias," and he made the biggest mistake then and there.

"Intruder alert, intruder alert," Psycho Black called out before 'conceptual boosting' his counter regeneration, and proceeded to punch the intruding noble devil in the chest where the heart is with enough force to demolish a normal heart, turning to his left and side kicked Riser back. Riser ended up tumbling into the wall, the Psycho grabbed the devil's collar with his right hand before slamming chops into Riser's stomach, when done he stepped back and roundhouse kicked the devil in the head with his right foot, slamming Riser's head back into the wood.

Psycho Black would have continued to beat Riser into pulp if Grayfia didn't just put up a wall of ice separating the two, "stay your hand Psycho Ranger," her voice was as monotone as when she spoke before, "this is Lord Riser Phenex, a pureblooded devil of noble birth and third heir in line."

"Of the house of Phenex, I know," Psycho Black told the maid before demolishing the wall of ice with one punch, "I also know that he's Red Tit's fiancé as well," he let the boosted gear go back into his arm, "but he also came here without me knowing, I was well within my rights to attack."

Rias spoke up next, with a smile, "he's right, my pawn was doing his job in defending this place against a surprise attack," she looked to Riser after that and noticed that he wasn't healing, but knew not to mention that, and knew that she now had leverage, "what do you want now Riser?"

Riser struggled to rise from his sitting position on the floor, "my darling Rias, Riser has just been insulted by your servant and you choose to ignore the attack, what would your brother have to say if he were to see this," Riser asked rhetorically asked as he held back his grunts of pain.

"I don't really care what he'd say, or if you've been insulted," she obviously knew why he was here but also knew that she had to be the civil one, "you came here unannounced and after receiving my answer to the farce of an engagement," she sounded as official as possible, "no."

"But my darling," Riser slowly rose fully now and glared at the Psycho Ranger, "Riser believes your families circumstances are still as such that you cannot afford to be so selfish," Riser stated as if he was certain he would get his way, obviously used to it, too bad he's now facing a Psycho.

"Yeah, so," Psycho Black rhetorically asked as he walked back and stood to Red Tit's right, "listen fried chicken," just to add more of an insult to the noble devil, "you should be grateful the heiress to a Duke clan is even talking to the third son of a Marquis like yourself, you're beneath her."

"Thank you for the compliment Psycho Black," Rias thanked him before looking to Riser, "my family's circumstances are not your concern until you become a part of the family you wish to enter, and I still say that since I never even got to decide on my betrothed that it is not you."

"Remember, it's imperative for devils to remain pure blood, we're still recovering numbers from the last war, both your father and Sirzechs decided this arrangement with the future of devils in mind," Riser reminded before he began to walk towards the desk Rias was at, but stopped.

Psycho Black was glaring at him through his black helmet as he let out a chuckle, "her father, brother, and whole clan made this decision without her so why the fuck should she consider their opinions on this," he stuck up two three finger on his right hand, he didn't say anything though.

Riser glared at the Psycho, "be silent on matters you nothing of low-born, Riser bears the reputation of the house of Phenex, smirching our good name is unacceptable, Riser doesn't care if he has to incinerate everyone in this room, you will return to the underworld with me."

"How will you do that, I just beat you up without trying," the Psycho let out a light laugh at the devil's threat, "you lost this political gamble the moment you tried it and you have three reasons why," he now jabbed a thumb at Rias, "and she chose the least important one to get out of it." Psycho Black blinked out of existence and reappeared behind Riser, and elbowed him in the lower back, Riser went to his knees and the Psycho returned to his previous position, "as the heiress to a Duke clan, she's far outside of your reach, she should be insulted to have you as a fiancé."

"Enough," Grayfia voiced to stop the fight about to break out again if not careful, "my lady Rias, lord Riser, as you know, I am here by order of Sirzechs, which means there will be no disruption of peace," she sounded quite stern, too bad she was dealing with a Psycho and they don't listen.

"Can it bitch," Psycho Black replied back harsher than the maid sounded, "you might be the devil king's queen, but a Psycho follows their own chain of command, not yours," he turned back to focus on Riser again, "now back to what I was saying before the ice bitch got in the way." Grayfia and Rias glared at him, "your family is using you, and that's all, you're clearly incompetent since you can't break off effectively and make your own clan, so as the spare to the spare of the clan of fried chickens, you've failed, so they're selling you out fucker, don't act high and mighty."

"You insolent low born devil trash," Riser rose again, still having trouble healing some of the damage done to him before, "you dare interfere in matters you know nothing about," he would have continued if not for the cold glare of the maid holding him back from reacting to the insult.

"Listen pal, technically I have more to offer her than some third place, lower ranked than her devil dick," Psycho Black brightened up at that casual mention, and they could swear that he was actually grinning, "in fact, I just had a great idea, if the issue is resources and status that is."

"The issue is not just resources and status Psycho Black," Red Tits snapped at him before he looked to her and she almost felt a chill go up her spine, "though I never thought about it from that standpoint, I would like it if some feelings were brought into the equation as well as status."

"That can be built over time, I heard it's stronger that way too," the Psycho replied back before looking to the maid, "I'm an alien type of being who is literally a prince to a vast intergalactic evil empire that has more technology and resources than we really know what to do with. So if you put me, a prince to an intergalactic empire with enough resources to easily overshadow the house of Phenex, against the third born son to a house below her and only has tears going for him, who would you put your money on her family backing," he asked the older devil.

Grayfia didn't seem like she was going to respond for a second, right before looking to Rias and answered the question in a different way, "my master anticipated there would be a conflict of some sort, as such, he has assigned me a last resort, should communication breakdown. If my lady insists on putting her personal preference above those of her family, she is to settle this via a rating game with lord Riser," Grayfia informed, Rias gasped at the suggestion and stood up in shock at the suggestion before Psycho Black was heard laughing at the answer.

"So that's what is being offered, can't make the decision for yourself to guess what you're husband and master want so you'll just relay a message as a way to settle it," Psycho Black laughed more before looking to Riser who was smirking smugly, "what's that look for chicken?"

"Riser has played through numerous rating games and has scored several wins for himself, unfortunately, my inexperienced bride has never even qualified for an official game," Riser commented with a smug look on his face, it was obvious that he was missing something obvious.

"Ah-ah-ah, you're forgetting that just because she's labeled as inexperienced, it doesn't mean she is inexperienced," Psycho Black admonished the devil with a wagging of his finger, "who knows what I've been training them on, perhaps I've been training them in a rating game format."

"Rias, I have to ask, is this adorable group the extant of your servants, they're all you have," Riser asked, Riser snapped his fingers and out came an all-female peerage, comprising of various types of them, all beautiful, "Riser has fifteen pieces, in other words, I have a complete set."

"Hahahahaha," the Psycho didn't even try to hide his mocking laugh at the noble devil, "you do know that numbers don't mean anything, right," he began to walk forward, as did the rooks of Riser to block his path, "zero multiplied by sixteen is still zero," his meaning was clear to all.

Riser was enraged by the continued back-talk from the now rival devil, "I have had enough of your insolence, Karlamine," Riser called and a light brown haired girl stepped forward, she was clearly a knight and knew how to use a sword, or at least use some raw power in a swing of it.

She charged faster than many others could follow, yet Psycho Black obviously saw through it and just as she was about to take out her sword, he stopped her by putting his right foot on her wrist and stopped the draw, she looked to her sword hilt before looking back up at him in shock. Psycho Black backhanded the girl with his right hand, as she turned from the hit, he grabbed her sword hand with his right arm and got behind her and wrapped his left arm around her neck, the knight panicked for but a moment before she was slammed into the ground on her back, hard. The Psycho stomped on her chest and watched as her fellow peerage members winced at the hit, "is that all you can do," he asked the knight before picking her up by her head wrappings and tossed her to the rest of her peerage who barely even caught her from the force of the toss.

"As you can see Riser, my pawn is more than a match for anyone you can throw at him, even with your experience," Rias said with a mocking tone at the experience, "Grayfia, you can tell my brother that I agree to the rating game, not that it's really needed, but we can handle ourselves."

"You will pay for that you insolent black clad fool," Riser said as he turned back to walk away to his peerage, and stopped beside of his queen, "Riser will see you at the game," Riser left with his magic circle engulfed in flames as he and his peerage left, nobody missed him slowly healing.

"I will inform him at once," Grayfia stated as she turned to walk to the empty space that Riser and his peerage left, "the rating game will be in ten days' time, use that time to train, despite how strong you may be, you are at a far greater disadvantage in regards to number of pieces."


The next day

Psycho Black looked at what was in front of him with a scowl on, "what the fuck am I looking at here Red Tits," they had been hiking for most of the morning and only now did they reach what was a mansion out in the woods, for some reason the king of the group chose here to train.

"This is a mansion that my family owns that we'll be training at, this way we'll be able to train and then take the proper amount of rest afterwards," she replied back to him with a pleasant smile, Rias was about to head inside when the Psycho turned around and glared at the teens gathered.

"I know what it is, what I mean is that this is not a place to train, training in spitting distance of a place to take a break any time is not training but a small workout," Psycho Black turned to the mansion and walked towards it, just as smoke was starting to overcome him and then it didn't. Out of the smoke came the largest creature any of them had ever seen, his skin turned to black stone, his face turned white, and variously random parts of him turned yellow, with a giant hole in his chest with yellow in lining, and he was easily taller than any skyscraper they've ever seen. With a mighty raise of his foot, the giant rock monster slammed it down on the mansion, the giant structure never stood a chance against the massive figure of the rock monster form of Psycho Black, who soon raised his leg and showed the flat mansion and surrounding property.

Rias and the others had mixed reactions as the Psycho shrunk down in mist and returned to his armored form, Kiba was impressed at the scope of the destruction, Koneko raised her eyebrows at the ease he did, Akeno had her mouth in a small oh with half lidded eyes thinking lewd thoughts. Rias though had the most vocal reaction of them all, "what the hell Psycho Black, you can't just go around destroying property like that," she admonished the Psycho and got a finger for her trouble, so now she was there with her peerage without a place to stay with an evil being.

"Like I care what the fuck you think," Psycho Black stated to her before standing before them all with a sick grin under his helmet, "the only thing I care about now is making you all strong after ten days, prepare to reach Psycho levels of strength," he would have begun the training then. Yet he got a call, getting the call wasn't bad, but it wasn't expected either, he looked around and found a big enough indent where his foot had stomped on the mansion and went to it, the others following thinking it was an explanation of some sort, or another show of strength. The Psycho took out a small cube from inside his armored glove and tossed it to the ground, from the device was a light shining on the surface of the wall, within seconds the light turned to show the same armored helmet of Psycho Black, but with red as the main color and a white collar.

"Psycho Black," his voice sounded different as well, more harsh and prone to fits of anger, "where the fuck have you been, we're about to end the new set of rangers," he informed his technically second in command, he also sounded a bit frantic as well, like he'd been searching for him.

"I've obviously been here, got revived sooner than the rest of you by far," Psycho Black was clear in his statement but didn't elaborate further, "but since you are revived, prepare for memory share," he put right index and middle finger to his temple and stood there to transfer information.

Psycho Red did the same and they shared everything they've accumulated since they're revival, including secret plans that the other needed to know, "so that's how it is, a good base to begin amassing evil allies, and their potential is good, congrats on the soon to be wedding too."

"We're not engaged yet, so Trakeena and Scorpius were the new powers of the evil empire," the Black Psycho Ranger commented before taking a thinking pose, "but we know from experience that the best thing for us to do to destroy the rangers is to strike with a large army and force."

"Which is why you need to stay there and do what you've been doing, in an hour or so is our fight, if any of us survive, we'll be meeting you there," Psycho Red ordered his second before clutching his fist tightly, "we'll make them pay for what they did to us, one way or another."

"Yes we will, but remember last time, you let your anger get the better of you," Psycho Black pointedly stated and you could feel the leader's glare back, "but whoever survives I'll be sure to make good use of them, especially with these," he took out two rings and held them out to show.

The Red Psycho nodded at the additional power, "then let's get this started," he was about to end the transmission before the both got an evil grin, you could tell because their entire aura shifted to menacing, "for the United Alliance of Evil, we will win the eternal war with good, or die trying."

"Preferably we win," the Psychos ended the transmission and Psycho Black turned to Gremory and her peerage to find them staring at him shocked at what he just did, "what, I already told you and the Ice Bitch that I belong to an evil empire with both resources and technology trumping others."

"Yeah," Red Tits looked ready to pass out when she saw the technology he had access to and his power in that giant form, "it's just that you have all this power at a base level and you're still beaten by these Rangers, how good are they to have beaten you and the other Psychos?"

"Not very, really," Psycho Black turned to look at them all before tossing the rings to Twilight Healing up and down, "the only way they found to defeat us was to divide and conquer, take us out one at a time, or seal us away in data cards," he put the rings away as he began to walk off. "Now that we might have another Psycho, we'll be able to show you our power when taking on a team, should be fun," you could tell he was grinning underneath his helmet, and still grinning when he suddenly turned around and kicked Kiba back to the back of the group, time for training.


Day of the rating game

Psycho Yellow being the one to come was not really what Psycho Black was expecting, however it was the much more preferred option, other than all of them surviving and coming through with her, but at least he has someone with a cold and calculating personality, perfect for politics. She was also the only one he'd trust with the Sacred Gear of Twilight Healing, just didn't think she'd have to use it on herself as soon as she stepped through the distortion of space she came through, the battle must have been one for the ages if her wounds were any indication. Red Tits was fast acting enough though that she was quickly treated and as soon as she was in a good enough state, Psycho Black transferred Twilight Healing to Psycho Yellow and she healed herself, and knowing that it was better in the long run, decided to accept Rias's offer of devildom.

So it was not a great surprising that Psycho Yellow was worth a single bishop piece, mainly because that showed that she had a good aptitude for magic and support, though the fact she has her Psycho Sling and is also able to fight hand to hand was a good indicator that she was fine. This also brought their total number of pieces going into this rating game to six, as opposed to the Fried Chicken's sixteen pieces, but high quality can match quantity of low quality, but to play it smart they'd have to use hit and run tactics to avoid any last minute surprises from the Phenex.

Everyone was gathered in the clubroom, Rias was trying to keep her cool while her and Akeno was drinking some tea, Kiba was checking his sword, Koneko was fixing her cat print gloves, and Psychos Black and Yellow were by the window and leaning against it while talking to themselves. The doors to the club room opened up and in came Sona with Tsubaki in tow, "sorry if I'm interrupting," she said once Tsubaki had closed the door, she saw everyone had gathered and keeping their cool while calmly going about their business, even the Psychos were calm.

"No, please come on in Sona," Rias offered, "is the live broadcast of the rating game so family members can watch set up," Rias asked her friend pleasantly, she was just thinking up some possible general strategies for the rating game, just some last minute thoughts she was having.

"Yes, it is, it's your first time in a rating game of this or any other caliber, I wouldn't miss an event like this for anything," Sona mentioned standing perfectly straight with her queen taking glances at the newest addition to the number of people that will be competing with Red Tits.

"Well, I promise to do everything in my power to make it interesting for you," Rias stated before a purple magic circle appeared and Grayfia came out of it, she stood for a minute and regarded everyone with an eye before eyes falling on the newest piece, "that is Psycho Yellow, his sister."

"It's almost time, I hope you are ready for this my lady, in a few moments, we'll use this magic circle to transport you and your peerage to the battlefield," Grayfia informed, she was as respectful as always with only a slight watch to the Psychos and their hiding of sick grins.

"I'll be in the student council broadcast booth calling the game, we'll be cheering you on, good luck," Sona commented before turning to leave and Tsubaki opening the door for her and keeping it open when Rias called out again, waiting for the last comments spoken before leaving.

"Thanks a lot, just try and keep the play by play fair," Rias commented to her retreating form playfully, it wasn't every day that your oldest friend was broadcasting a game, but in spite of wanting it commentated in her favor, it was only fair that it was done right by both parties.

"Oh, I'll keep it clean, though if I was a betting girl, I'd say you're going to beat that scumbag seven ways to Sunday," Sona commented before making her leave, taking one last look at the gather peerage along with her queen, this was going to be quite the show for the audience.

"There's something I forgot to tell you," Grayfia started to inform Rias and making her turn to her head slightly to look at her sister-in-law, "I thought you'd like to know the Great Devil Lucifer will be watching the Game," Red Tits went back to looking uninterested and looked bored in waiting. A red magic circle appeared and glowed a bright red, "it is time lady Rias, if you and your peerage would step inside," Grayfia said with a bow while waiting just outside the magic circle, they all got up and stood inside the magic circle, all ready for what their field might be, all still nervous.

What they saw when they finished teleporting was the exact copy of the club room they started in, it was in such a fine detail that even the tiniest drop of paint on one of the paintings was identical to the original, but you could feel the magic coursing through the place if you felt for it. "You feel that Psycho Black," Psycho Yellow asked him, and received a nod in confirmation, this was just a base coating of allusions and hard light constructs, they were familiar with the method since they were often used to train with, these devils seemed to take that a bit further though.

"Your attention please, welcome everyone, my name is Grayfia, I am a servant in the house of Gremory, and I will be your referee during today's match," there was a slight pause before she started again, "to create the battlefield, I took suggestions from both lady Rias and lord Riser. You may recognize this place as it's an exact replica of Kuoh Academy, an educational institution in the human world," Grayfia announced and took a long pause to let the young devils get used to the field they will be fighting in, it didn't take long for her to think enough time was give. "Each team has been given an area that will serve as its home base, lady Rias and her crew will be in the Occult Research Club headquarters in the old schoolhouse, lord Riser's home base will be located in the principal's office in the new schoolhouse. Pawns will be promoted if they can make their way to the home base of the opposing team, good luck to all," Grayfia just finished explaining the rules and why the school was picked before stopping to again let the young devils make last minute preparations.

Koneko brought over a small red orb to the Psychos and he took it and let it float to and in their ear as Rias explained its function, "these'll help us communicate during the battle," they could do so much more than that though, based upon their function and magic construction, much more.

Psycho Black looked to Psycho Yellow to confirm that she had the same exact thought as him, as the two calmest of the Psychos, they were often on the same wavelength of thought, and this time was no different, a bell sounded and Grayfia stated, "all right devils, let the game begin."

Rias pulled out a basic layout of the school before speaking, "the enemy base is just across the way, cutting through the school grounds might be quick, but it's not an option, they'll see coming a mile away, and then we might as well be sitting ducks," not bad at pointing out the obvious. "If we go through the track field and sneak in the back we might have the element of surprise on our side, but that's the most obvious entry point available, and Riser knows it, my guess is he'll station a group of knights or rooks with strong mobility right behind the athletic clubhouse."

"That doesn't leave us with very many options then, does it," Akeno thought out loud as she looked over the map as well, thankfully a basic layout of the school had very little options in the long run, with only a few places to hide and a large open field being the main places to fight.

"First things first, I think we should secure the gymnasium before we do anything else, it's adjacent to their home base and not too far from us, but most importantly it will serve as a diversion to the other side," Kiba suggested while pointing to the spot on the map he indicated.

"The gymnasium is basically in the center of the battlefield, whoever gets to it first is going to have a leg up for sure," Akeno commented, that was true, and to be honest it was also a possible good chance to be easily attacked as well, but that was obviously the unspoken thought to the all.

"Good call, given the options we have, that's our best chance, Psycho Black, do you think you can handle getting in the gym and locking it down," Rias asked and got a nod, "to do that, we need to secure a defensive perimeter, Kiba and Koneko, go out there and set up some traps in the woods." The two quickly left after that before Rias moved on to the next part of the plan, "Akeno, next we'll need your expertise, when they're done setting the traps, your illusion magic is going to come in handy, so be prepared," now it was time for her to head out and leave only three in the room. "Psycho Yellow, you're my healing support, so in order to keep you safe you need to stay close to base, because if we lose you, we're going to be in big trouble out there," Rias moved and sat on the couch to relax for a bit before she got involved, "are you ready to go fight Psycho Black."

Said Psycho nodded and grinned beneath his helmet before forming into a dark purple hard light and jumping from one place to another and landing in the back of the gym, he quickly snuck his way in while scanning, the best part to him was that they were already aware of him being there. There were only four of them there to fight him, a set of twins that obviously had chainsaws hidden behind their backs while trying to look innocent, a small blue haired girl with a staff, and finally a ravenette in a Chinese inspired dress that showed off her finely toned left leg at least. They were all looking right at the stage where he entered from, "smells like Gremory filth," the rook named Xuelan stated before the lights came on and Psycho Black walked out, "look at what we have here, she sent us a single pawn, I think we should be insulted at that fact."

"No, that's not why you should be insulted," Psycho Black brought out his Psycho Rod and put the blunt end on the floor, "you should really be insulted at the Fried Chicken who sent you here, he sent you here as cannon fodder," he charged for the group, purposefully leaving his rod behind. Xuelan ignited her left foot and swung in a large arc, it was swiftly grabbed with his right hand before being jabbed in the jaw with his left fist, he turned and sweep kicked the girl to the floor before slamming his left elbow straight down and onto her sternum, she spit out some saliva. The blue haired girl named Mira tried to poke him away with her staff, clearly thinking it was more powerful than it was, it was blocked with a left forearm redirecting it and grabbed and yanked away before smacking her away with her own weapon and making her fly into a wall.

Ile and Nel, the twins, came up to try and slice him up with their chainsaws, but with a mental command of his Psycho Rod, it flew to his hand, he spun with the force of it and put the weapon up just in time to block the descending chainsaws of the two pawns and bounce them back. With the Rod he turned it and slashed through the stomach of Ile while going past them before turning back as she turned and slashed her across the chest with the bi-pronged staff, she began to fall, but he didn't let her and performed a perfect side kick to her throat instead. As her sister fell back Nel recovered enough to try and get him back, but while only balancing on one leg, Psycho Black stabbed into her leg before spinning with the rod still firmly held in the leg forcing it out of her with a jerk that sent her down to her knees, he slammed blunt end into her temple.

THREE OF LORD RISER'S PAWNS AND ONE OF LORD RISER'S ROOKS RETIRED

Their bodies evaporated in a light as they were twitching from the attacks, he was able to do that at the start of the match with minimal effort, he turned into hard light again and got out of the gym before reaching the roof of the building, he looked out over the field they'd be fighting on. "That sounded like it was fun," Red Tits commented while he watched the rest of the field, "Psycho Yellow is doing some interesting things too," Rias informed to him and he hummed to signify that he heard her, "it's time to start, Kiba and Koneko call out the rest of his peerage." That was smart thinking, distract your opponent and have them focus on where you just attacked to draw their attention away from where you don't want them to see, Riser, caught up in rage won't see it, "Psycho Black can aid them while Akeno I want taking out whoever's left to fight."

"Why not, could be fun for me," Psycho Black replied before calmly blinking to the ground, if she wanted him to help, fine, might as well fight any stragglers too, as he walked though, he felt as though something was off, the air and ground got a sense of… danger, then he jumped back. The place where he stood just seconds ago was engulfed in an explosion, but first there was a purple magic circle, so the enemy was sending the big players to fight him early on, very well, all he had to do was look up to see his enemy, the purple haired queen to Riser, Yubelluna.

"You did well in taking out those four we sent here, but it's time to give up the fight, no matter how hard you struggle, you won't win, you can't win," Yubelluna said as she created another magic circle bomb, it went off half a second after he jump rolled out of the spot he was just at. "The way you disrespected my master was unforgivable," another explosion and another dodge, "but I can't deny the sense of appeal that you draw, you make me want to fight you," this time multiple explosions in succession while he handsprang back until she stopped the barrage.

THREE OF LORD RISER'S PAWNS RETIRED

"Well, I didn't expect such a fight from your group," Yubelluna tried for a larger blast radius this time and to get out he hard light moved out of the target area and on the gym, "but we still have nine opposed to your six, we still out number you all," this time, the large blast claimed the gym.

"Well this is exciting," came the voice of Akeno as she levitated down from watching the game of cat and mouse, she turned back to look at the Psycho, "I can take care of this trach, you go on ahead, okay," she requested, she turned back to look at the queen, "I'll get the job done."

"Fine, Thunder Thighs, I have another fight I'd like to have some fun with," Psycho Black turned and was about to leave, when he got an idea, "but to make things fair," he disappeared in a flash of hard light dark purple before appearing before the bomb queen, and yanked her neckless off.

The Psycho ran away after that the devil queen about to chase after him before Akeno got in her way with a smile on her face, "You know, I have been wanting to fight you for what seems like ages, Priestess of Thunder," Yubelluna told her with a sneer, that Psycho took her trump card.

"Oh, have you, that's sweet, but the pleasure is truly mine," Thunder Thighs retorted back with false pleasantries just the same as the other retort, it was sure to be quite the match, too bad Psycho Black would miss it, "especially when we're now evenly matched, Bomb Queen."

That was all Psycho Black could stand before leaving, his hard light form pushing through the bushes and trees until hitting the open field, it was there that he saw the forms of the rest of Riser's peerage out and waiting to fight whoever is left of the Gremory side of things. Along with the sight of Kiba and Koneko just coming into view as well, "now that the gang is all here, what do you say," the Psycho twirled his Psycho Rod in an infinity pattern, "anybody want to get a bit Psycho," and charged for all of them as if he would fight them all on, and win.

"I am Karlamine, a knight in the service of Lord Riser, I will avenge my defeat and your hands before," charging herself, the other knight wordlessly charging with her, hoping that two on one would yield better results, they were wrong, when the other knight attacked, it was known.

Psycho Black put his Psycho Rod on his shoulders and turned to where his right shoulder was to the knight named Siris, he blocked the blade with his right arm out and catching the blade, a Zweihander, in the indent at the tip of the blade, held there for half a second before turning. The Psycho turned in place and knocked the blade aside while turning his own weapon until swiped up with the sharp edge of it and tore into her, she stumbled back as Karlamine came in to finish the job while he was distracted, too bad he wasn't really all that distracted. Psycho Black turned just in time to block the flaming blade with his left forearm, he turned with the quick movement and struck her in the back with his right elbow to have her stumble forward, and being toppled over thanks to the Psycho stabbing into her left leg and ripping it out.

"You two can finish off these knights," the Psycho informed Gold Dick and White Pussy, not even looking at them as he began another charge, "I'll be going after what's left," he jumped and landed in the middle of the others in a group, the bishop Ravel Phenex clearly leading this one.

"What am I even looking at, Lady Rias has the worst taste in boys if she chose someone who's face she can't even see," Ravel stated as Isabela, Mihae, Ni and Li gathered, but Psycho Black pointed his weapon at her, "don't point that thing at me, I have no intention of fighting you."

He just raised an eyebrow at her before turning to the rook for an explanation, "she is serving in this battle as a bishop, but for the most part, she likes to watch, the lady is Ravel Phenex, one of the Phenex household devils and also lord Riser's sister as well," Isabela informed him.

"Oh, she likes to watch huh," the Psycho snickered at the phrasing of the rook, "I bet that's not all she likes to watch," he insinuated as the rook charged for him, it didn't help as she threw quick jabs only, as if she was a boxer but only knew one move, until she tried to throw him off.

Isabela tried for a kick to knock him back after trying to attack with a left and right jab, he grabbed the left leg, and she even made the mistake of spreading her arms wide for balance, amateur, and delivered several quick right jabs of his own into her midsection before pushing off. She fell and hit the ground, though he did have to give her credit, she got right back up and tried for a heavy uppercut, he just grabbed it while jerking her around by the hand and delivering a left knee to her ribs and slamming his right fist down on her back and making her fall to the ground. Psycho Black kicked her over with his foot before stomping on her breasts with his left foot, he basically just fell on his knee after that and crushed her face and mask with his right knee, and only added to the insult by punching her throat with his right fist, making her gasp for air.

ONE OF LORD RISER'S ROOKS RETIRES

Psycho Black barely listened for the announcement as he charged in for the last four opponents before Ravel tried to stall, "foot soldier, you may wan tot watch this," she thought she herself knew what to expect, but she didn't expect him to turn, so what she expected to see and shrug.

"Why should I care that your brother is losing," the Psycho informed her and forced the girl to see for herself what was going on, and she saw the one thing she thought was impossible, her brother was losing, "Psycho Yellow knows how to handle herself with regenerators, quite inventive." Psycho Black didn't say it as praise, it was said like a fact, the woman in yellow armor was firing pale blue energy blasts at the Fried Chicken and hitting him every time, normally he'd regenerate and not worry about it, however, "though instead of worrying for him, I'd worry about yourself."

TWO OF LORD RISER'S KNIGHTS RETIRED

Ravel looked to where the two knights were being evaporated into blue light, both with Kiba and Koneko standing over them, and Psycho Black cracking his knuckles, to charge the remaining Phenex peerage, "you see, your regeneration trick is nothing to us Psychos, just a bit tricky."

The girl was panicking now, his senses could sense her vitals elevating and some sweat begin to trickle down her forehead, "Ni and Li, go and take out this pawn, show him the power of pawns who actually know what they're doing," she ordered the duo who soon charged at the Psycho.

Ni was the cat girl with blue hair and tried to jump over him, he let her as her sister Li, the one with pink hair, tried to sweep his legs out from under him, the Psycho just stood his ground and let the girl try, it didn't work though and she had to scurry back away from him to get away. The blue cat girl tried to get behind him and start throwing jabs his way, but he grabbed the first right jab with his left in a quick turn before delivering a right cross to her jaw, breaking it and grabbing her throat right after before tossing her to her sister, who barely caught her. Psycho Black flung out his right hand and pale blue lightning shot out in a large output of power that went through them and flew straight into the other bishop, Mihae, the one in a kimono and long black hair, the blue light started to overtake the three before they knew it.

TWO OF LORD RISER'S PAWNS, AND ONE OF HIS BISHOPS RETIRED

"I'm sorry, did you mean to sacrifice those three," Psycho Black asked the fried chicken, the daughter of the house of Phenex backed up, there was truly no way of winning against the immortal birds in her eyes, however, "you're starting to feel it aren't you, your fear of losing."

Now Ravel was absolutely terrified of what just happened, this pawn of Rias Gremory was more powerful than the rest of the peerage without even promoting himself, it wasn't in one move but he still all but obliterated all of their forces leaving just her and her brother to fight them alone. Though there was one thing this evil guy was missing, "fine, you may have me and my brother outnumbered, but me and my brother are immortal Phenex's, you can't do anything to us," Ravel stated as she kept her pride high as if there was nothing they could do, this'll be quite fun indeed.

LORD RISER'S QUEEN RETIRES

That injured the fried chicken's pride quite a bit, "you're not getting it are you," he charged her again and tackled her, making them spin a bit before stopping, with Psycho Black on top and his left knee pressed against her neck, she forgot her magic, forgot she had options due to panic. He leaned in close to her face and told her, "Psycho Yellow isn't attacking him with magic, but with science that is guaranteed to take away his healing factor," his left arm shimmered and she could see the boosted gear now, it was on him the entire time, out of sight but still impowering him. "I can enhance my own anti-regenerative power against him, not that he told you or you figured it out, but then again you wouldn't have acted if you did," he grabbed her forehead with his left hand now, "but I do have another skill that you really should pay attention to."

Psycho Black let out half the power he had been storing since the game first started, his gauntlet turned to something with yellow spikes on the forearms of it now along with the rest of the red color and yellow horns in the back and green arb on the back of the hand and top of his forearm. The Psycho let out half of all the power he amassed up to that point and finally let loose by transferring it to her, the bishop felt as if a certain statistic was growing, he could feel it, and that certain statistic was her own, zero ranked, holy attribute, everyone, even devils, had one. Psycho Black was than left with but one alterative as the master tactician that he was, use that to his advantage and literally poison the girl with her own power, and he could see the effect it was having, her head was burning and bubbling as her face and head began to scar over. At first the girl screamed a gut wrenching scream that would likely bring attention away from Riser's fight with Psycho Yellow, but he didn't care, and soon the pale blue orbs that signify the end of her time in this fight was swarming her and taking her from the game now.

ONE OF LORD RISER'S BISHOPS RETIRED

When she was announced to be done, Psycho Black turned and turned to hard light to travel to where Psycho Yellow was shooting at a bunkering Fried Chicken using his magic circle as Psycho Yellow was firing at him from behind Red Tit's own red magic circle right until he showed up. "It's about time you showed up," Psycho Black turned to the Yellow Psycho Ranger when she said that, "can we hurry this along, I have a few idea about the Dark Fortress that needs to be gone over," he almost laughed when Fried Chicken and Red Tits realized she wasn't taking this seriously.

"Fine, you want to retire early or help in dealing with this douche," the Black Psycho Ranger asked the Yellow, she sent away her Psycho Sling and stuck her right hand out as if preparing to charge, "then let's go," Psycho Black did the same and they both charged for Riser across the rooftop.

"You dare to first injure Riser's sister," Riser was slowly catching his breath from the onslaught of attacks from Psycho Yellow, but still not healing, "then you have the nerve to act as though you weren't trying, you will pay," Riser bellowed in rage as he began to accumulate fire in his hands.

Psycho Black started things off with a flying uppercut elbow to Fried Chicken's jaw and forced him to cancel the fire, the devil turned with the hit though to follow the movements of the Psycho, who swiftly turned as well, but faster, so he was able to deliver a perfect side kick to the Phenex. The Fried Chicken was forced to turn to minimize damage, to the aimed chest when he saw the second attacker out of the corner of his eye, "Psycho Battle Blade," she called out and brought down just another karate chop on him, except it cut straight across his chest shoulder to hip. Psycho Black came back into the equation and kicked Riser in the gut and forced him to hunch over, the Psycho using that opportunity to role over the devil and then grabbing him by the back of his neck and tossing him into the edge of the roof where a thin wall was there, it stopped him. Psycho Yellow used the shoulders of her fellow psycho to springboard off of and fly into the air and just flick her hand out at Riser, it was like his chest exploded from the gesture alone, but it was one of their powers to send small waves of lightning invisible to all who try to perceive them.

Riser coughed up blood before speaking, "you insolent fool, what right do you have to interfere with this important engagement, it's for the future of all devils, why are you even getting involved with something clearly needing to be handled by your betters," he roared as he tried to stand up.

"Hey dipshit," Psycho Black appeared before him with his Psycho Rod read and pierced into his gut and pinned him to the wall, "I don't think you remember considering we've been beating on you till now, but we clearly don't care," he looked back just as Psycho Yellow made her move.

The Black Psycho jumped back with his Psycho Rod just as she came in with her weapon, "Psycho Sling," she called out and fired multiple blasts at him filled with a mixture of her own energy and the bullets that injected anti-regenerating elements into him, impacting him every time they hit.

Psycho Black was up next with his own weapon, when Psycho Yellow landed, he used her shoulders as a springboard and jumped over to Riser calling out, "Psycho Rod," with a multi-lasered backdrop slashing downwards and tearing through the devils chest shoulder to hip. The Fried Chicken was sent flying backwards and into the wall again, blood was leaking from his as he was slowly losing his strength, he barely looked up in time to see the weapon slamming down on his shoulder like a club and pinning him to the wall with force alone, "time to die."

Riser wasn't even given the chance to respond as Psycho Black tossed him from the building by knocking him through the wall on the roof and in a blink his hands were free, he was joined by the other Psycho and together they combined their energy with his own boosted power as well. The Psychos put their arms across their chest in an 'X' formation before stretching them out slowly as green lightning gathered, when their arms were overhead a yellow sphere of energy formed and they brought it to in front, and with a grunt pushed the powerful evil energy out. Just as Riser was out and they were ready, the both of them unleashed enough energy to destroy him, his brain began to fry and his blood began to boil, there was nothing about him but pain and anguish as the energy kept him up in the air as it destroyed him, mind, body, and soul. Riser could no longer take the pain and fainted while Psycho Black and Psycho Yellow cut the energy flow and stood straight again, as the blue lights shown and the Fried Chicken was taken out, they laughed to themselves as he continued to scream, even while unconscious he screamed.

LORD RISER HAS BEEN DEFEATED, WINNER IS LADY RIAS GREMORY


Next day

"What do you mean the engagement is off," Red Tits demanded of the Psycho Ranger, they were in the clubroom and she was behind her desk and the two Psychos were standing before her side by side, neither feeling sorry, "I'm not upset or anything but my family expected certain things."

"Oh, we'll still offer the support of the United Alliance of Evil, technology, healing herbs and where to find them, hell space travel and a way to colonize other planets as well," Psycho Black listed off what they had to offer still and it all sounded to be beneficial to her and the other devils as well.

"The main reason why we don't want you to be the queen to the new evil monarch," Psycho Yellow began to inform and got a look of shock from her and the rest of the peerage, "is mainly your hair, it reminds us of Psycho Red way too much and you have a bit of an impulsive issue."

Rias would have said something but the onslaught continued, "not to mention you need to open your mind to evil a bit more, you showed way to many mercies and not enough ruthlessness, could have defeated all of them if we did what the Rangers did to us and ganged up on them." Psycho Black turned and projected a window onto the wall to where she could see pictures and profiles of Riser's peerage, "could have shaved off quite a bit off their thoughts of superiority if we did tactics that maximized damage to them as a whole over time rather end it quickly."

"Not to mention that if Psycho Black hadn't of realized the necklace around Yubelluna was a Phenex Tear, your queen would be the only one suffering from a loss right about now," Rias could believe this, the two Psychos were lecturing her, at a time like this, "we'll be covering that."

"What, are you two going to be dividing up teaching us how to be evil and training us from now on," Red Tits got it in one, and she knew it too, the looked at each other and then looked to her as if they were grinning, "we know how to be evil, we're just more civilized about it than you."

"Not really, if you really wanted a healer but had to settle between Psycho Yellow and a nun with no combat experience, you'd choose the nun because it would have forced you to kill the girl to extract her Sacred Gear," Psycho Black offered her in counter, which gave him a leg up on her.

"Not to mention that if you were to marry Psycho Black and become his queen, you'd have to actually live up to the name of Queen of Evil, Empress of Darkness, or maybe just the Monarch of Evil's Wife, either way you are the furthest thing from evil," Psycho Yellow pointed out to her.

"Just when I was beginning to work on my evil queen laugh too," Rias almost sounded disappointed that she'd have to stop that, it was fun to imagine, "then who do you suggest on becoming your evil queen, if you choose to have one and instead just literally make your heirs."

"Nah, if I did the same thing as Dark Specter and make the future of the kingdom instead of 'making' it," Psycho Black had air quotes around making, "then the rest of the universe would view me as another copy, I'll have a hard enough time with my monster form being stone."

There was that, Rias has clearly never seen Dark Specter but she must have guessed his own form was close enough to rock in form as well, "then you'll be back to finding the perfect evil consort to rule at your side with, which brings me to the earlier question of who you suggest?"

"No idea, unless you know of some evil sorceress, enchantress, cosmic force, or just downright nasty powerful random bitch that'll give off the same feel as me, no clue," Psycho Black offered and watched as she herself put in some thought, and no name seemed to have come to mind.

"Leaving us back to the issue of why Rias can't just act as your interim fiancé to keep others from trying to come in and seduce you," Thunder Thighs brings up her own concerns as well, "wouldn't that make more sense and be safer since we're not sure what the Phenex family may try too."

"That would mean that to curry favor with the new monarch of evil, plans would be made to find out who can out evil the other and assassins would be brought from all over the universe to kill her," Psycho Yellow casually mentions and waves off the possibility of that plan on the table.

"So I've gone from being taken, to fought over, to taken for less than twenty-four hours before I was dumped, I'm not sure how I should feel about that," Rias casually mentioned to herself more than anything, than realized she said that out loud and had pink dusting her cheeks from it.

"Still better than the rest of them," Psycho Black mentions casually as he sits on a couch and leans back in it with his hands behind his head, and ignoring the glares from the other five in the room, "what none of you have ever been in a relationship either, not even Psycho Yellow."

"I'm an evil manipulative bitch that would sooner sell a potential partner for a better model or something that would benefit me and me alone, plus I'm a romantically emotionless android with infinite stamina and energy, I'd outlast all partners," Psycho Yellow defended herself expertly.

"The rest of them though," they didn't even need to look underneath the helmet to tell he was raising an eyebrow at them, "White Pussy either hasn't had a tomcat to call her own and Thunder Thighs hasn't really had anybody either, don't know what the fuck Gold Dick goes after though."

"Fine, can we drop the subject of our love lives and get back to the matter at hand," Rias asked with a twitch of her eyebrow, realizing that he's had the best relationship out of all of them, "I'll contact my brother and we'll begin looking for potential matches for you," she already hated it.
