Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!
Blue Eyes Pendulum Dragon; Thank you very much! Well, we'll find out how they win this chapter, or they lose, hehe~ Yeah, he's quite the strategist alright. And thanks yeah, it would do, we'll see how she fares in the battle itself. Any others, eeh, right now, I have a few in mind, but not right away. Well will see that first one soon, and the other, dunno yet.
Drakon45; I know how annoying it can be, but there isn't a cliffhanger here, promise.
tyson113; Well, thanks for waiting, the fight does indeed end right here, and now. And thank you, I'll try my best!
Docslendy; Thanks very much!
hellspam; Thank you! Here's the conclusion!
Harem Master123; Thanks very much! Phantom Princess is very troubling, isn't she? I know they are, aren't they if she decides to do something. She did didn't she? But, she's gonna be okay~ We'll see if she does or not right now hehe! Cool suggestions!
Nivek Beldo; Yup, we continue with the battles, and this chapter concludes those battles~ Yeah, it surely is, showing how strong she has become for him as well. Yeah, Zephyrdor's peerage aren't the smartest, but they at least managed to get wind of, some of Team Millicas' plan. Eh, you'd be correct there friend. Koneko showed her strength in the end. Thanks very much, shows how close they have become, and what kind of relationship they really have. Yeah, that's why she was taken out first, because of her powers against Devils, she was taken out, but she showed her best powers before she went. Yup, they surely did, wanted to show just more than fighting, to show some progression as well. Yeah, she pretty much is, just switch a few around, and there, we've got future team Makoto. Princess, she could be foreshadowing a future, scary event. We did indeed, but this is the last fighting chapter for this Rating Game. Yeah, a friend did it for me, and I personally thing it looks really good.
Tohka123; Thanks very much! She is showing her stuff yeah, and here she shows some more. Princess is coming for someone~ Who could it be~? Rias seems like a good candidate though~ Yeah, I thought it would be good to show it there, to show their growing closeness, especially with helping him grow as a person. Koneko is showing her growth, even Millicas, especially this chapter, shows her growth as well. It has done yeah, but it is also their combined intelligence as well. And thanks, I'll try my best!
ShadowUzumaki55; It surely is, and the climax is right here! They are yeah everyone's giving their best, and even in this chapter, they do as well. Koneko surely did her best, as did Yumi, she even learned things from Makoto with his freezing power. Though he's still good at that, the best on they have. Kalawarner, though her fights were brief, they were important to the fights in the end. Aah, it's not the only power Makoto gained during that fight, and it shows here as well. They did, they are cute together, aren't they? Hmmm, let's say it is going to be something like that.
Naroku; Thanks, I'll try my best!
Justin D; It is, isn't it? Very intense indeed! They do, but they've got some good counters for that. It was mentioned a few chapters ago that there was a Devil that could turn into a Dragon, possibly, it was just confirmed here. It was cool, and hot at the same time lol. Yeah, bad jokes aside, she did, but unlike Rias, Millicas is a little more capable, a little foolish, but capable at the same time. Well, we'll have to wait and see what's gonna happen~ Yeah, that would be a good way to end, however, in this fight...well, I won't spoil it, and let you read yourself, it shall make sense the way I did it when it is shown. Ah, remember, the poll a couple weeks back? I'm skipping Rias' Rating Game with Riser, for reasons explained in the past. That would be funny, and thanks, I'll try!
yoga pratama; That would be pretty cool, it could be, you never know. That does sound pretty cool~
Guest 1; Thank you! Yeah, poor Koneko, but she went down fighting, as did everyone in these chapters. That would be pretty cool to do.
Cf96; Thanks! And thanks again!
Skull Flame; Those girls will have competition after this chapter with Millicas joining in. Okay. Yeah, she really does, but she's cheering on her Queen, she's doing her best for him in her own ways. The getting laid part, Makoto might come in handy there~ I know, if she was...things might've happened. We'll see how it ends this chapter, it is going to be quite explosive. And thanks!
Anime PJ; I just had to do that though, it was fun to write, and I visualized it, being pretty destructive, which must've been fun for the characters as well. I haven't watched the new Death Note film, am planning to, just haven't done it quite yet. If it's creative you're looking for, then there's another skill Makoto uses this chapter...well, throughout these three chapters that I think is pretty cleaver on their part. I know, it's going to be interesting, huh! Actually, I have been thinking about it, and yeah, I don't see why not, I'll come up with a scenario for them to actually hook up, it could be fun, and if others vote for it, then I don't see why not.
Guest 2; Eeh, because Rias likes Ise, and in this, Akeno likes Makoto, I guess that's the reason. And no problem.
UsagiAngelRabbit; Aah, we'll find out this chapter if they do win~
Primevere; Thanks very much! Yeah, they are pretty good with the strategies huh. No worries, life is quite busy, I know from personal experience. And here's the chapter!
Guest 3; She is out yes. Princess is...well, she's a very special girl. I could see Makoto actually doing that to her, it would be fun~
Guest 4; Maybe that could be carried over to Diodora in the future, already wrote the chapter, and all. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Guest 5; With what is going to happen to Kokabiel, I can't really say whats going to happen, but it is going to be, something alright, it is gonna be quite something. Eh, talent, hardwork, I'd say they are both pretty talented, and hard working. And yeah, I guess that they could be something like that going on yeah.
Gundam fan; Thanks very much! I don't mind answering no, and for that, I've never watched the series before, so I couldn't say yes or no to that answer, I just don't know what it is like.
Guest 6; I've watched, bits and pieces of it, I haven't watched all of it no. That does sound pretty cool though, can't deny that. I remember Sakura, and she was pretty sweet/cool, so yeah, maybe I would pair an oc with her if I ever do a story to do with that series.
Neonlight01; They are yeah, things heating up, and now, things are gonna be ending! This is the final chapter of the Rating Game! They have done yeah, everyone has shined, big or small, everyone was needed for the fights, and in the end, they all managed to win against their adversaries, and fought to the best of their abilities. Well...no, she won't be showing it there, as I am skipping the Rias/Riser Rating Game, as discussed a few chapters ago, I do have a place where Akeno is going to use it though. They do, but they have plans, and they are pretty intelligent people, so they can do it. Yup, we'll see the Loli Gremory kicking butt now.
Blade of Takeda; Thanks! Read and see, we'll see it happening now~
Dragon god king; Yeah, that doesn't sound half bad, thanks for the suggestions!
Guest 7; Hehe, yeah I can see them doing that in a future chapter, maybe even next chapter. Mentioning it could be funny yeah.
Guest 8; That sounds like a good idea, thanks for the suggestion! I quite like it, it does sound awesome to me!
Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it's time to begin the last chapter of the Rating Game!
Fight for the Gremory part three!
"So, this is the end game now, it seems."
Sona said seriously from the observation area, Ise, and Rias both looking on with worry. Akeno on the other hand seemed to be believing in Makoto right now, it seemed like she wasn't going to let her faith go either.
"Millicas…I know you can do it…just, unleash that power deep within you…just do something about it Millicas. Blow him away…I know that you can do it my daughter…"
Sirzechs' eyes turned narrow, worried at the same time. Of course he was worried for his daughter, and seeing that she wasn't doing her best right now…it hurt him more than he thought. He knew that if she wanted, Zephyrdor wouldn't be a thing to worry about. But her confidence was quite low, because of everyone's retiring, and worrying about her friends.
That's just the kind of girl Millicas was.
She cared very much about her comrades, and it made her hurt when they retired from the games. Because of her kindness, Sirzechs didn't know how she was going to win the game if they had to go through something like this.
Riser's eyes were on Ravel, and seeing how close she was to Makoto, he didn't like it. Though, it seemed like some of Riser's peerage were getting hyper about the fight, and the fights also seemed to impress some of Riser's peerage too.
"Buchou, can Makoto win the fight with them girls?"
Ise of course asked Rias about this, since she was his King, and would know the most.
Rias herself furrowed her eyebrows.
"Well, I haven't been able to discern such things. It shouldn't be impossible for them to win. But, Millicas is…well, it seems like she's losing confidence in herself as the group lessens. But, for the time being, I say that it could go either way. Though Millicas' team is more tired than the other side…but there is that plan of there's…I think that's also set them apart from the others too."
"Yeah…I think their plan is pretty damn cool. Honestly, he must've trained so hard to achieve something like that…"
"Ooh, he did. Day and night, Mako-kun trained to get it to work, Ise-kun. Even after everyone went off to bed for the night, he was training until he couldn't stay awake anymore. And then right after he woke up, he'd train again."
Akeno's face curled upwards as she said that, remembering all of the times that she saw him practicing, and could see how much he truly tried for the others in the group they were in now. In her eyes, Makoto trained the hardest for this fight, and improved himself quite well.
"Wow…even training when we went to bed…? I didn't know that…"
Ise held a sheepish face, in awe at the determination Makoto had for Millicas, and wondered if he indeed had some feelings for her. Like he did for Rias. And then he recalled his own ongoing training, and saw how his was, less gruelling than Makoto's itself, how he pushed himself. And what he was willing to do for the group.
"That's right, he trained himself so hard, he really is quite determined to do his best Ise-kun."
"Even then, I am hoping that his efforts don't go to waste. All of their efforts at that."
Sona had serious eyes as she peered at the match before them.
Akeno tossed a look towards Sona, seeing how she looked unsure of herself.
"Don't count them out just yet, Sona-sama."
Akeno spoke with a look of resolution on her face.
"I haven't counted them out yet, but it seems like they are outnumbered now…or rather, the Dragon situation looks bad for Ravel-san and Hyoudou-kun. Then there's the fight that Kiba-san is also in danger too, because of the previous fights. But the main problems left is Millicas-san not showing her full power…"
True to Sona's words, it seemed to them that Millicas wasn't doing her best, and looked hesitant, even worried. Her confidence right now was low in their eyes, and they didn't know what they were going to do about it.
Serafall however clapped her hands together, and smirked.
"Don't worry Sona-chan, my cute Queen and Bishop are still in there, you know?"
"Onee-sama, I know that you're going to believe in your Queen and Bishop but…"
Sona wanted Serafall to face reality, wanting her to do what she needed to do, and what she desired to do as well.
But Serafall looked confident.
"Sona-chan, are you not going to believe in my Queen and Bishop too? They might be outmatched by the Dragon, but you're forgetting that my Queen, and Bishop are cute people too. Ma-tans quite smart, I know that he can do it. He didn't train that cute butt off for nothing, you know? All of them did so much for this fight, they all trained, and became stronger for it. Even my cute Bishop, and Elmen-chan, who basically had no combat experience, did their best for this, and were willing to push themselves beyond what they could do. They did their best, and I know they'll be able to pull off a victory."
Sona wished that she could share Serafall's optimism, but right now she wasn't sure if she would be able to do that.
"Let's just hope that you're right Onee-sama, I truly wish that you're right, right now."
Serafall nodded her head, but she was worried at the same time.
She believed in Makoto, and the others, but she also had worry for her Queen and the others, even going as far as to place her fingers together, wrapping them around each other, and made a really cute worried face.
"Ma-tan…everyone, I know that you can do it. Though it is a worrying thing my cute Ma-tan, I know that you can do it. Whatever happens Ma-tan, I know that you'll be able to do it, because I believe in my adorable Ma-tan, I hope that you're going to be okay Ma-tan…please win my cute Ma-tan…please do it…"
Serafall was genuinely worried about everything that was happening. But, she believed in Makoto, and the others. She was going to believe in them, and whatever happened, she already was very impressed with the others, even her own Queen.
"Haaaah! Try this!"
Yumi came at the man with speeds only she would be able to pull off from Makoto's group, slashing right for his neck.
But the man pulled his blade upwards, blocking the sword easily, and then pushed it away swinging right back for the girls face.
Yumi gritted her teeth as she blocked the sword with her own, noticing a crack in the blade.
"Your swordsmanship isn't bad, it's pretty good."
Yumi complimented as they clashed swords again and again, the sparks flooding the area.
"I'm faster than the others in the group, even the other Knight. Though, they have a stronger power than myself. But, I am faster, and have more skills. He is a power type Knight, and I am a technique type of fighter, like yourself."
Yumi couldn't refute that under the slashing of the blades colliding against one another.
"I'm like that yes, and indeed, you're quite fast. I'm shocked, I haven't met a fellow Knight like this beforehand. It makes me smile that I have a fight like this. Truthfully, the other Knight was more power, and you're more technique, if this wasn't a fight between your Master, and my Master's niece, then this would be more enjoyable."
"Yes, I would have to agree, but you aren't bad either. It isn't such a bad fight that I am having with you right now."
The Knight flicked his sword at Yumi, and some kind of wave of power erupted from the blade. It was all Yumi could do was deflect the blade to the left hand side just before it could touch her, but she wasn't fast enough, receiving a wave of energy towards her, knocking her down onto the ground.
Because she wasn't a Rook, she didn't have the defence, and the Knight she was facing wasn't bad either. She, had to do something about the enemy, but she didn't know what she was going to do about this enemy before her.
"Well, seems like you've done quite well, for a Knight of Millicas Gremory."
The Knight of Zephyrdor turned his nose up at Yumi, holding a smirk on his face.
The battle between Yumi, and Zephyrdor's Knight would've been a little more even if she hadn't fought before. If this was her first fight, then she would've done a better job. But now, seeing the Knight, and fighting him, she knew that she most likely wasn't going to be able to win the fight.
"Well, thanks for the compliment, but I still have got things to prove just yet. I can't lose my fight just yet."
Yumi panted, as sweat rolled down her face.
She knew that she wouldn't be able to last all that much longer, she knew that she wouldn't be able to win the fight. But, she had to do something, so Makoto, and the others could win. As it was, the Knight was her speed, very fast, and she knew that the others weren't as fast as she was. Makoto wasn't as fast as she was yet either, so he wouldn't be able to keep up with her.
It was down to her.
She had to at least inflict an injury on the enemy before her, so she could make sure that the others could win.
Some kind of injury that lowered his speed, that's what she needed to do.
"Sorry, but that's how you're going to end up. Though you're not bad per-say, you're not going to be able to win against me either. I'm simply stronger than you are right now."
"Maybe that's the case…maybe you are stronger than I am but I can't give up yet. At least, I have to show myself to be strong too. I've got to fight the enemies that are before me. My swords aren't broken yet, I still have my own powers that can fight you too."
Yumi stood on her shaky legs, her hands shaking too.
She knew that she would have to do something, but she was running out of options here, she didn't think that she would be able to fight the enemy for much longer.
"I-I won't give up just yet!"
Yumi charged for the Knight, slashing from the left. The Knight blocked the blade with his own blade, stopping Yumi's attack, and then pushed the girl away from him, kicking her in the gut, sending her across the battlefield.
"You're weak, you won't be able to beat me in this fight. I'm sorry if that's not what you want to hear, but that's how it is. You're not going to win the fight, I simply just have a little more power than you do right now."
Yumi gritted her teeth, and made a sword in her hand…and panted.
She felt fatigued now.
She had been fighting for a little while now, and the previous fights weren't doing anything for her either.
"Bird-san, please freeze it!"
Yumi heard a call from the sky, and then the next moment, a beam of ice came down, and froze the mans blade, and the mans hands at the same time, shocking the man all together, Yumi's eyes spreading opening seriously.
"W-What the hell is this!? G-Get it off me!"
The Knight tried to get the ice off him, even using some magic. But the magic didn't even dent the ice. It was quite surprising to say the least, it was a shocking sight to see something like this. Even Yumi was quite shocked.
"Hey! Kiba-senpai! This is your chance! Get him now!"
Yumi looked up, to see that Asia was petting an ice birds head gently, and Elmen was riding on top of it too. Relief flooded the young girls mind, pleased that they had appeared before them right now.
"Elmen-san, yes! I understand!"
Yumi saw her chance, and she took it.
Running forward, the blonde haired Knight ran as fast as she could.
"N-No way!"
The Knight attempted to leave, but Asia gave a command.
"Erm, if it isn't too much trouble, could you freeze his feet too?"
The bird seemed to listen to Asia's words, and did what he thought best, shooting out a freezing beam of ice, freezing his feet to the ground, so he wasn't able to move either, the mans eyes widening in pure shock.
"S-Shit! Come on! Shit! N-No! Shit! Move! Move!"
Because of the ice, he couldn't move at all.
No matter what he did, he couldn't move, and was a sitting duck for the incoming Yumi.
Because he wasn't good with magic, he couldn't use it to get out of the situation that he was in right now.
"No more running now! Though I feel a little sad that I wasn't able to beat you on my own power, I won't mind doing it this way!"
"No! D-Damn it all to hell!"
The Knight watched as Yumi's blade came towards his body.
"Take this!"
Yumi slashed right through the body of the made, leaving a large gash on the mans chest, blood spurting out of him. She didn't kill him, but she did leave wounds on his body that meant that he wouldn't be making it out of there.
When appearing on the other side, Yumi watched as the Knight went to the ground, the ice shattering around him, freeing him, but it didn't matter now, since he was going to disappear anyway, the lights already appearing around him.
"…Seems like I lost in the end…well, I guess that's how it is after all…it seems like, I can't do anything else…seems like…I've lost now…"
The Knight's body lights up, and then disappears from the field entirely.
[Zephyrdor-sama's one Knight, retires.]
With the sound of Grayfia, Yumi slowly crumbles down to the ground, exhausted from her fight.
"Kiba-san! A-Are you okay!?"
Asia rushes over towards her, once landing on the ground.
Yumi looks up, and sees that despite Asia was tired, she was healing Yumi the best that she could.
"Asia-san, are you sure that it is alright for you to be here? What about…"
"The plans been changed. We were on the way to the others, when we felt your presence fighting here. We came here to offer assistance, we're just glad that we got here in time, it seems like you're quite tired yourself."
Yumi confirms it while nodding her head at Elmenhilde.
"It has been quite exhausting to say the least. But, we have to continue onwards…what about the others?"
"I don't know, I haven't contacted them yet. But, from what I can tell, it seems like Ravel-san and Makoto-kun aren't in the best of situations right now. But thankfully, we've only got the Queen, and Pawn, and Bishop to deal with. Fortunately, I have something that can deal with Devils."
Yumi became confused, not sure what she was talking about.
But Elmenhilde pulled out a vial of blood, and smiled.
"This is going to help us win the fight. It's from that stupid woman that I dislike. But since she's gone now, we'll have to do this too."
Yumi nodded as Asia felt the bird nudge her neck. The bird itself, wasn't much bigger than Asia herself, but it was strong enough to carry a few people.
"W-We have to help the others too Elmen-san, Kiba-san! I think we should go right now!"
Nodding, Asia and the others got onto the bird, and flew into the sky, heading for the others.
The situation before them was quite bleak right now. Makoto, and Ravel had to fight the Dragon alone, that was being powered up by the Bishop. The Queen, true to their word, hadn't appeared. But neither Millicas or Zephyrdor's name had been called either.
They didn't know what happened to the Knight of the group, Yumi and the Knight had gone away from them, they didn't know what was going on there, and then there's the fact that Elmen and Asia hadn't appeared either.
Though Makoto right now, was worried about what was going on with Millicas. She just hoped that the King would be alright. Though the situation was dire-some, they couldn't lose concentration right now, it simply couldn't happen.
"How about this!"
Ravel's flames danced around her palm, and then she launched a powerful fireball towards the Dragon itself, that Ravel explained was actually a true Devil, not reincarnated before being reincarnated, and was from a Devil clan that could transform into a Dragon itself, so the Dragon was a normal Devil too, having such weaknesses. Too bad, that they didn't have anything that could stop the Dragon either.
Ravel's flames clashed together with the enemies flames, creating a sea of the flames, making the entire battlefield heat up. Though it wasn't a problem with Ravel and the Dragon, Makoto had a problem with the heat.
"D-Damn Ravel-san, your flames are hot!"
Ravel showed a sheepish face, and then bowed her head.
"Sorry about that Makoto-sama. But this Dragon is no joke either. The flames is something that I don't want to think about…if only Elmen-sama was here, then you'd be able to use your full powers…well, we'll just have to deal with the enemy before us the best that we can."
Ravel's flames, and the Dragon's flames cancelled one another out, Makoto seeing his chance, and demonic power of a good grade appeared in his hands, readying to fire at the second that the power was ready.
"Try this!"
Makoto placed his hand outwards, and gathered demonic power in his hand. He had enough skills to fire off normal blasts of energy. It wasn't like Ise's new soon to be revealed technique, but it was something that most Devils were capable of doing.
"That's naïve!"
The Bishop grinned as the aura around him, travelled to the Dragon, and in turn, increased the Dragon's power too. It seemed to be growing stronger by the second, and then the Dragon released a large blast of flames, completely destroying Makoto's demonic attack, and sent a blast of fire towards him.
"Barrier!"
Ravel stood beside him, and erected a demonic barrier, protecting the pair of them. Though the attacks clashed with one another, Makoto saw that Ravel's barrier held against the strong attack, showing her stuff right now.
"Thanks Ravel-san, it seems like this battle is going to be difficult."
"Yes, that's right, but we haven't lose yet…"
Makoto watch Ravel drop the barrier, and made an idea in his head.
"Ravel-san, I'm gonna get the Dragon's attention. When it goes for me, attack the Bishop. Because, I think that it would be able to become weaker if the Bishop is defeated. Seems like that Bishop is giving the Dragon power."
Ravel placed her fingers together, and then made a nod of her head.
"You're most likely right about this, I think that you could be right. But, are you sure about distracting the Dragon? If it gets a hold of you, then it could destroy you, it could finish you off, you know that?"
Makoto knew of this, he did know of it.
But he didn't have the time to care about something like that.
As he held his weakening ice blade in his hand, he made a face that everyone could see was quite strong.
"I understand the risks. I'm not going to fight it, I'm going to distract it. I realize that we'll be able beat it together, but alone…I know that we won't be able to beat the Dragon alone. I know that…but, I can distract it, just get ready."
Though Ravel wasn't sure about this, she didn't want to get them in danger, him in danger, but he just ran forward anyway, and made himself a basic target for the Dragon, jumping upwards, and fired a blast of demonic power.
"Hey! Come on! I'm right here!"
The Dragon released a roaring sound, and blasted out a wave of flames, destroying them all together, his demonic power that was. Makoto ducked the flames, and landed on the ground, rushing towards the right.
"Get him! Don't let him leave here alive!"
The Bishop ordered, and the Dragon responded by breathing out a large amount of flames towards Makoto himself, but he jumped away just in time, avoiding the flames all together, and shot off a sphere of demonic power.
"Don't think I'm out just yet!"
Makoto's demonic power was about to hit the Dragon, when the Bishop made a barrier to defend the Dragon, the Dragon sending a strong large fist towards Makoto's body itself.
He went to move out of the way, but the Dragon blocked his path with his flames, making his escape route impossible.
"Makoto-sama!"
Ravel panicked, and was about to fight against the Dragon itself, when he saw Makoto thrust the sword towards the large hand, and because Makoto was small, the Dragon didn't see it until it was too large, the sword stabbing deep within the Dragon's hand.
"Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
The Dragon released an unnatural howl of pure pain, pulling away from Makoto's sword, and caused him to be in more pain, blood spurting out of the wound. However, Makoto's sword shattered upon contact with the strong fist, only managing to give it a stab before it disappeared all together, leaving Makoto without a weapon for the time being.
"What have you done!?"
The Bishop roared, and aimed his hands towards Makoto's body, ready to release a blast of demonic energy.
"I don't think so!"
Ravel came into the fray this time, sending a wave of her flames towards the Bishop, having powered up since Makoto got the Dragon's attention.
"N-No way!"
The Bishop however placed barrier upon barrier in front of himself, attempting to block the attack. The flames of Ravel smashed through some of the barriers quite easily, bringing down their total power with her flames. However, as they neared the body, the Bishop developed a few more barriers to defend himself.
"I won't allow you to defend!"
Ravel increased the flames, and this time, she broke through the barriers of the Bishop, and though he made a defensive technique around him at the last second, the Bishop received a burning from Ravel's Phenex flames, and sent him hurdling down to the ground, but he didn't retire.
[Zephyrdor-sama one Knight, retires.]
Makoto and Ravel look at one another with renewed strength.
"Yumi-senpai must've taken out the Knight…good, it seems like we're one step closer to winning now."
"That's a win for our side. Phew, I was getting worried."
Makoto could understand that worry too, holding a hand to his chest, relieved that Yumi was alright.
As the Bishop listened to their conversation, the Bishop's anger was getting turned up. The Dragon itself was nursing its wound on his hand the best that he could. But, it was a difficult thing to deal with in his eyes.
"Y-You fucking bitch! Not only have you taken out our Knight, you also had the nerve to burn me too!? I'll kill you for this! Burning me like this!?"
Ravel put a hand to her mouth, and made a face full of disdain.
"Don't say such things out loud. It really will ruin your reputation if you do something like that."
The Bishop didn't exactly like the sounds of that, and held an annoyed expression on his face for Ravel more than anyone else.
"You really think that you're superior, don't you!?"
Ravel shrugged her shoulders, not sure if she was or not.
"I honestly don't know right now. I just think that we've done our best during the fight. We didn't charge in with just pure punching power. We used our minds to fight and we've got to fight with our brains. Because your group is stronger, doesn't mean that you're going to win either."
The Bishop's eyes changed and his hands lit up with some magical power. however, unlike normal magic, this seemed to be something else entirely, and it wasn't an element like fire or ice. No, what was made in his hand, was an arrow of light. It wasn't made from an Angel's or Fallen Angels light, but the light itself was very dense, more than someone like Kalawarner could actually made, surprising Ravel.
"You hateful little girl! Don't get cocky because you're a Phenex! Even a Phenex can perish! And I'll make sure that you perish too!"
Ravel gasped, and was about to move when she felt something trap her feet.
Looking downwards, she saw that ice had gathered by her feet, the arrow of light being shot off.
"N-No!"
Ravel melted the ice with her flames, being stronger than the ice. The fact remained though that because of that, she wasn't going to get out of the way of the arrow,
But at the last moment, just as she was about to be pierced by the ice, the Queen of Millicas' group jumped in front of Ravel, taking the arrow right to the stomach, catching it so it couldn't go all the way through, but it brunt his hands, and his eyes watered from the density of the light, blood coming out of his wound.
"N-No, Makoto-sama! Y-You…w-why did you take that!?"
Makoto tossed his head back, some blood coming out of his mouth, but held a smile for Ravel, who had watery eyes herself.
"Even if you're a Phenex, you'll still be hurt by light, and that dense light was stronger than Raynare's, and besides, you're a comrade, I won't allow a comrade to suffer because of an enemy that is before us!"
Makoto threw the arrow away from them, crashing it against the ground as Ravel went into her outfit, pulling out a vial.
She went towards Makoto, seeing his wounds, and then poured the contents of the liquid over his wounds, his stomach, and hand, healing the stab, and the burns respectably.
"I was hoping that we wouldn't have to use this, but it seems like we do. These are Tears from my family, that have special healing properties. J-Jumping in front of an attack for me, honestly! Doing something like that was really…"
"Stupid, I know."
Ravel stared at him, then shook her head.
"No, sweet, actually." Ravel complimented, and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Thank you, for defending me. It was really, sweet."
Ravel's cheeks turned slightly red, as did Makoto's at the sights of the other.
"W-Well, no worries…b-but, we have to do something about this Dragon and Bishop."
Ravel snapped back into reality, nodding her head strongly.
"Indeed, we're going to have to take out that Bishop first of all. Especially with light magic…seems like they almost prepared for Devils like us to fight against, but I get the feeling that the Bishop is more support than offensive power. But the damn Dragon is going to be quite difficult in dealing with…"
"No, if the Bishop is taken care of, then I believe that the Dragon will be able to fall too. It's slow, it can't move as fast as us, I know that we can do it together Ravel-san. We're both faster than him, we can dodge the attacks. But, it's strong, it's really strong. And thanks to that Bishop, it has good defences too."
Ravel couldn't disagree with his words, but that still remained the fact that they had two enemies that they had to deal with, and it wasn't going to be easy for either of them to fight against the enemy either.
"Bonzai!"
Makoto, and the others heard a voice from up above, followed by a large blast of light raining down on the enemy Bishop. Because they were taken by surprise, the light of the up above person washed over the enemy Bishop.
The Bishop's body lit up in surprise, and then disappeared from the field, the Dragon in shock by what happened.
[Zephyrdor-sama's one Bishop, retires.]
Makoto, and Ravel look upwards, to see a semi large bird in the sky, holding three people on its back. One was Asia, one was a tired looking Yumi who was being healed by Asia, and the other was Elmen, who licked the side of her lips that held a little bit of blood, and lights were in her hand.
"Sorry we're late to the party, just had to make a little detour to avoid traps set by the enemy team, and do a little rescuing too."
Elmen jumped down once putting Asia in her arms, landing right next to Makoto, and Ravel who looked battle worn. Yumi jumped down too, and with the bird landing next to Makoto, it seemed like they were all okay, Makoto looking towards his Sacred Gear happily.
Meanwhile, with Millicas, and Zephyrdor, the pair had faced off against one another, and the battlefield around them was devastated.
Millicas seemed to be a little more tired than the man before her, but she still wouldn't let it go either, having heard the announcements.
Though, she had to admit that she was worried for Makoto, and the others at the same time.
She couldn't fight at the full strength that she usually did.
She couldn't help the worry that was deep within her.
Even though she didn't know of their status', it wasn't something that she could prepare right now.
"You've only got your Pawn, and Queen left now. I've got my Queen, two Bishop's, and Knight along with my other Pawn too. It seems like we've got the advantage. If I was you, I would give up before your Pawn and Queen are dealt with too."
Zephyrdor, despite looking a little tired, smirked dangerously.
"Ah, well. I can't say yes or no to that. Honestly, I don't know what you want me to say Millicas. However, my Queen is the strongest against Devils. Because, she has something that is stronger than anything else, a light like no other."
Millicas was suspicious as the Devil threw some demonic power towards her.
She raised a barrier, defending against the Devils blast, and then sent her own blast towards him, a power that could disintegrate anything, breaking down a building behind the man, because he dodged out of the way at the last second.
"What do you mean by something like that?"
Zephyrdor smirked dangerously.
"Because, I chose my Queen for this instance, to fight Devils. Though originally, a human, she also has something deep within her that makes her quite special too. Don't worry though, you're not going to have to worry about something like that for now. Your entire peerage is going to disappear soon enough."
Millicas didn't like the sound of that, firing off two spheres of destructive power…
But something was amiss at the same time.
She wasn't using her full power…
It was something that she didn't intend to do, but something she was doing subconsciously.
She didn't want to do it, and she wanted to fight stronger. She wanted to release blasts that could blow away Zephyrdor…but, the worry for her friends held her back. She knew it was stupid she knew that she shouldn't, but she couldn't help it.
The power of Millicas was stopped by the Devil himself, who smirked.
"I thought that the Maou-sama's daughter would be stronger than this. I thought that you'd be releasing stronger powers than this. But, no. It seems like you're quite weak right now, you're barely above a normal Devil. I'm honestly disappointed."
Millicas turned her eyebrows down, and her hands shook.
She wished that she could be strong right now.
She didn't want to be weak.
She wanted to do her best, she wanted to fight to the best of her abilities. She, wished that she would be able to fight stronger, and stronger, but she wasn't able to do something like this now…she hated the fact that she wasn't doing her best right now.
Back with the others, Makoto, Yumi, Ravel, and Elmen stood towards the Dragon before them, Makoto's ice bird turning back to a small bird on his shoulder, and made him a blade of ice at the same time as coating itself in ice too. Asia stood behind them, having no fighting experience, couldn't get involved in the fight.
"We've got to slay this Dragon before anything else happens."
Makoto spoke as the Dragon stepped forward.
"It should be a little easier on us now since the Bishop isn't powering the Dragon."
Ravel explained with a tilted head, thinking that this would be good.
"I'm sorry…I don't think that I'll be offering much support now."
Yumi felt regretful, because she was exhausted, and barely could stand up.
Makoto shook his head, and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"You've done more than enough for us now Yumi-senpai, allow me to fight this enemy. We'll beat this Dragon, and then go for the Queen. I know that it seems worrying, but we'll do this, and then fight the Queen, and get to Millicas-san. We'll do something, alright? You just relax now."
Elmen nodded, and put her hands forward, gaining some light there.
"Since I've been inactive during the battle, allow me to make the first movement then!"
Elmen releases a barrage of light towards the Dragon at the same time it released a wall of flames towards Elmen's light.
"Sacred Gear! Arctic Regal Avian!"
Calling out the name of his Sacred Gear, Makoto's bird responded and shot off a beam of ice that hit the fire. Immediately the fires were frozen by Makoto's bird, freezing it right towards the Dragon's mouth, leaving nothing but ice, even freezing some of the Dragon's mouth too.
The Dragon looked on surprised as the light of Elmen's blast buried deep into the Dragon's body, sending it away from them, and off the ground, crashing down into the ground.
"Alright Elmen-chan! That's good!"
Elmen smiled at the praise, and clenched her hand together.
"I trained so hard with this. I trained the hardest that I could. Though I might not be the strongest here, I will do everything that I can to defeat my enemies before me. No matter what, I am going to do my best to defeat everything before me!"
Elmen was pumped this time, she showed such a strong face now, and Makoto was happy with seeing her. He was glad that she was alright now, it was something that Makoto enjoyed seeing immensely.
Makoto turned his attention towards the enemy at hand, and made a sword in his hand, his Sacred Gear, making the sword rather than turning, something that Makoto could do now, he always felt better with a sword in his hand.
"Ravel-san! I'm going to get its attention! You, and Elmen-chan power your attacks then you'll defeat the Dragon, okay!? If it is light and flames, the Dragon should be defeated. After all, he's still a Devil under all that, right?"
"R-Right away Makoto-sama! Leave it to us! Elmen-sama, let's do this!"
"Right, I've got it."
Knowing what she was going to do now, Elmen charged the light up within her hands, and Ravel did with the flames. Makoto himself rushed forward, Yumi, and Asia looking on with a worried expression on their friends.
"Yahoo! Here you ugly beast!"
Makoto made himself the target, rushing forward, concentrating on the power of the Knight to enhance his speed. Since he was going to be bait, this was the only way that they would be able to work it out now, Ravel and Elmen standing together, and charged their powers.
"Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
The Dragon raised its foot, and stomped down towards Makoto.
"Missed me!"
Makoto jumped back, aided by the bird using its wings and claws to fly Makoto away, something the bird could do, being his wings now.
"Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
The Dragon swung its large claws for Makoto. He managed to fly away from the first striking claw, but the second one they weren't going to get away.
"D-Damn it!"
Makoto brought up his blade, blocking the strike of the Dragon with his ice blade. The sturdy blade was aided by the natural coldness that the Dragon released around him, managing to block the large claw, and at the same time, the ice bird released a semi-large spear of ice.
To compensate for the ice spear, the Dragon released a sea of flames, breaking through the ice.
"Sacred Gear! Freeze it!"
On Makoto's command, the bird released a beam of freezing ice. The beam was thin, yet it packed a punch. As soon as it made contact with the flames, the ice froze it immediately, saving Makoto from being burned alive.
"Y-Yes, Makoto-san…"
Asia cheered from the side, as Makoto landed on the frozen fire.
Running up it, Makoto got his sword at the ready.
The Dragon itself bit down on the frozen fire, so it crumbled. Makoto didn't allow that to stop him though, jumping and twirled the sword right towards the enemy itself, and made the sharp bit at the ready as well.
"Take this!"
Using the penetration of sharp ice as his own, Makoto's sword embedded itself into the side of the Dragon's face, causing it to howl out, blood shooting out of it, but Makoto was also swatted away, heading for the ground.
"Makoto-kun!"
Yumi was going to move, seeing that Makoto had an injury with some blood coming out of him from the swipe of the claw, but the bird clutched onto the side of the shoulder of the boy, holding him tightly in his claws, and flew him to safety.
"Now! We're ready!"
Elmen exclaimed, and showed quite a large spear of light. It was bigger than a two story house. Around the spear, was Ravel's flames. The pair had concentrated their best on the attack, this being their last attempt on the Dragon's departure.
"Right, let's do this Elmen-sama!"
"Yeah, let's gooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Throwing everything out of the window, Makoto and the others watched as Elmen and Ravel threw the spear towards the enemy.
The Dragon was stunned and threw its flames towards the spear. The flames of a Dragon weren't a joke, it was an attack that couldn't be stopped with conventional methods, so it wasn't something that could be taken down easily.
"Flames! Defend!"
Ravel's flames on the spear all concentrated on the point of the spear, and made a shield. It took some doing on Ravel's part, but she increased her flames the best that they could, and it worked, managing to stop the flames to a standstill.
"This is the end!"
Elmen's spear pierced the Dragon who couldn't do anything else. Its voice failed him, the light of the Dragon's eyes slowly disappeared, leaving nothing in its wake. The spears light spread through the body of the Dragon. But, because it was a Devil too, the poison of the light sapped the power of the Dragon away, and turned its body into light.
[Zephyrdor-sama's one Pawn, retires.]
With the announcement, Makoto smiled and looked at his two comrades who finished them off, and flew over to Asia. Though Asia was a little fatigued herself, she placed her hands to Makoto's body, and begun the healing process.
"Thanks, Asia-chan…a-are you sure it is alright?"
"Yes, please don't be worried Makoto-san, I can do this. Leave this to me now…"
Makoto held a thankful smile on his lips, looking towards everyone else in the group.
"Damn, we've only got one more opponent…"
"Millicas-sama should have been able to finish off the King by now though…what's going on?"
Ravel mused aloud to the others, wanting some answers.
"I don't know, Millicas-san…I hope that she's alright…"
"If she wasn't, we would've lost by now. We wouldn't be here."
Elmenhilde reminded, Makoto acknowledging that fact as well.
"You're not wrong, but something inside of me is worrying too. Because of the look she had before, it wasn't something that she thought would be possible. She was nervous about today, and his actions have made her fearful too…she might act brave, but she's worried about the fight, and she's so kind that she's worried about us too…if I'm right, then she's probably very worried about things going on right now."
Ravel thought along the same lines as Makoto, and knew that they would have to get to her soon enough, they knew that they would have to do that.
Ravel, Makoto, and Elmen walked forward together, and talked about what they were going to do, and also relax at the same time, since all of them were quite exhausted themselves.
"No!"
As they were happy with their victory of the Pawn, Yumi suddenly threw Asia towards Makoto, who caught her in his arms, and held her tightly as a familiar burst of light descended from the sky, impaling the ground immediately.
Yumi's body lit up within the light, and she disappeared before even the light disappeared.
[Millicas-sama's one Knight, retires.]
Makoto felt bitter about that, angry that she was taken out. Asia's body and Makoto's body shook together with such a sight. Makoto and the others looked up, to see that the Queen was flying there, and held a dirty smile on her face.
"My, it seems like Queen, Pawn, and two Bishop's are surviving. Darn, I was aiming for both the healer, and the Knight girl. But, the wretched Knight managed to throw the Bishop away, and she survived the attack. Well, I suppose it doesn't matter now, we're all going to be having a little fun now too."
Makoto, Ravel, and Elmenhilde all looked up towards the enemy Queen, and glared harshly. This, was the last fight they could do. They were beaten, and exhausted…but, they had to do it now. They didn't have a chance otherwise. Millicas was fighting the King, so they would have to fight the enemy Queen and take her out, no matter what happens.
The devastation of Yumi's departure, was a big loss on their part, and Millicas lost a little hope. Because she was slowly losing pieces, she only had a few left, and if what Zephyrdor was saying to be true, then she wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
"Another one bites the dust."
At this point, Zephyrdor loved taunting her, loved making her feel terrible about herself, and enjoyed the thought of Millicas losing,
Millicas herself dipped in her courage, and wished she could live in strength, but was finding it difficult.
"Your Pawn lost too, so don't mistake something like that either."
Millicas barked back, firing off some destructive blasts only for the Devil to block them with his demonic barriers, something that pissed off Millicas as well.
"Even then, my Queen is more than enough for your peerage. It isn't a mistake either. My Queen is very strong, and maybe, she could be on my level. I don't know. But, with your weakened peerage, I doubt that you're going to be able to win now."
"D-Don't say such things, we all worked hard to get here! Everyone of us worked hard to get here! I watched everyone train day in and day out, getting stronger, getting better, and better. I watched them all do it!"
Zephyrdor held a dirty smirk on his face.
"That might be the case, but something about this is a little bad to me. I really don't like things like this at all. Your group really pisses me off. I thought that the game would be finished off by now, but no…you really do annoy me greatly."
"Well, I'm glad that I can annoy you that much."
Millicas back talked as they went into a round of battle again.
Back with the fight of the others, the four members left, stared at the Queen as she flew down to their level.
They were battered, each were panting, and didn't know how long they would be able to go on for. But, they had to do something, they had to fight her, and win. If not, Millicas would have to deal with the enemy Queen and King, and they couldn't have that. It would be too much.
The Queen's power was surrounding her, and matched a High Class Devils power. Everyone there could feel it, but none of them knew what the light power was. It wasn't magic, but it was something dangerous. And they needed to find out what the power was.
"Hahahaha, it seems like I've come across a few people that want to oppose me."
"That's right, you won't be walking away from here easily."
Ravel said with a determined look on her face, the Queen smirking.
"Little Phenex, and others. You, are probably the only one who would be able to oppose me. If this was at the beginning, I am sure that the fight would've been good. But as you are now, that's how you are, a weak opponent."
"Weak, am I? Perhaps, maybe I am weak. But, we're together, and we have our full powers now. You might've taken out our Knight, but we've got the Queen, and Pawn, and us two Bishop's too. We might not seem like much, but we'll defeat you."
Ravel's words rang through the others, they all prepared for battle all the same.
"That's quite a funny joke. Didn't you know about something like that? I am not really someone that I have to deal with. But, I was honestly surprised when we didn't beat you beforehand, I didn't think that it would be something like this."
"Whatever you say, but you're going to lose now, don't you even know that!?"
Makoto roared out, as the team got together, Makoto doing the same thing with his Sacred Gear, this time turning the bird into a sword form. Because, he knew that this would be the one that it would be amazing to use, and he was at full power now.
"But you know, there's something that I've been curious about…why did you truly spread the mist around? Even after you realized we could slip through your mist, it seemed like you were able to continue on…why? And why didn't the Queen use his Sacred Gear properly? We've witnessed his progress, and he didn't use his Sacred Gear until the fight with our Pawn Dragon. So, why did you do something like that?"
The Queen just couldn't figure it out, they truly couldn't figure it out at all.
No matter what, her mind couldn't think of why this was. It just seemed illogical, it seemed strange. She didn't like not being in the dark about everything that was going on.
Ravel's mouth lifted up, as she explained.
"There's no point hiding it now. Because, Makoto-sama has been training very hard with his Sacred Gear's power, he is able to freeze anything. That's what his Sacred Gear is. It isn't mere ice, it is freezing power. That's his Sacred Gear."
"Freezing…? Isn't that the same as ice?"
That's what the Queen guessed, but they were way off for this.
"Sort of, but freezing, can freeze, anything. It all started when Ravel-san approached me and said "Can't your Sacred Gear freeze anything?" to which I agreed, and it went from there. I practiced hard to do it, I practiced hard to learn how to freeze things that aren't normal, and honestly, there was only a ten percent chance that it would work. Because, believe it or not, I only begun learning how to do it on the last day of training. The reason why I didn't use my Sacred Gear, was because I already was using it, with Elmen-chan's mist powers."
"S-So, you're saying that even during the beginning match, you've already been affecting our group!?"
"That's right." Ravel grinned. "Makoto-sama's Sacred Gear has been in affect since then. However, because Makoto-sama doesn't have the ability to yet fully control it, we had to set up barriers around us so it wouldn't affect us, but that wasn't such a problem either. The barriers only work though, if you only affect by a slight dose. More, and it would be broken easily. The mist and the Sacred Gear mixed together, and slowly froze the minds of the enemies, making the tired, making them feel dizzy, sleepy and such."
"T-That's a fucking lie! Y-You can't do that!"
Ravel looked towards Makoto, and smiled gently.
"Normally, no. It wouldn't be possible, but Makoto-sama did his best, he practiced all of it. He did his best, training day in and day out for this. He trained harder than anyone for this, and thanks to that, your team was affected! Slowly, little by little, you were affected by all of this! That's the reason why we were able to fight on par and beat your peerage! But because Makoto-sama is one of our stronger members, we couldn't have his power be used for the technique. So, Makoto-sama started the technique, but Asia-sama actually was the one who used her magical powers to keep the technique going. Of course she didn't use the technique herself, she just powered it up for it to continue, and it seems to have worked against you. All of our enemies, have been defeated barring you!"
The Queen's rage wasn't happy at all, it wasn't something that she wanted to hear, and she placed her hand outwards, a light gathering there and made a large arrow in her hand. The denseness of the light surely was something that made the Devils uncomfortable.
"It doesn't matter whatever you say! Even if you affect our minds, with your Sacred Gear, it doesn't matter at all! Because, we did all of this! We're still superior than you are! All of you aren't going to be able to win against me! My Sacred Gear will make sure! My Sacred Gear is Sterling White! A Sacred Gear that can make white light arrows! I've mastered it to the point where it wouldn't be able to lose to any Devil! Even to Elsa there!"
Looking towards Makoto, his eyes narrowed as Elmen's lips curled upwards.
"E-Elsa…?"
"That's right Elsa! Time to let it go!"
Elmen couldn't help but snort, Ravel and Asia none the wiser on what that actually was.
The Sacred Gear that had been announced by the Queen made a large arrow of pure light in her hands, and then she fired it towards Makoto and the others. The speed of the arrow was incredible, even Makoto knew that they wouldn't be able to dodge it.
"Freeze!"
Makoto changed the sword into a hose, and fired off a condensed beam of ice. The arrows light was surrounded by the ice immediately, freezing it on the spot, the Queen's eyes turning white at seeing her arrow being frozen.
"What the fuck is that!?"
She was pissed off, she truly was pissed off.
But Makoto didn't stop, and rushed forward, with the sword form in tact.
"G-Get away from me!"
The Queen placed her hand outwards, firing off arrows of light towards the enemy himself. Makoto however weaved through the arrows with his speed, and sliced through the arrows that happened to appear near him.
"Never! Why don't you get lost!?"
Makoto appeared before the Queen, slashing with his sword at the Queen.
The Queen panicked as she rose a barrier, defending from the sword. Makoto wasn't yet strong enough to freeze barriers, so he couldn't get through the barrier that was before him. But he didn't have to do that, when Elmen appeared.
"Try this!"
Gathering a spear of light from Kalawarner's blood, she came from the left hand side, and fired off the spear, colliding it with the barrier, crumbling it down. Makoto saw his chance, and slashed forward towards the enemy.
"Shit!"
She flew backwards, receiving a slash to her chest, causing her chest to feel colder than normal. But she avoided the worse case scenario, and then turned her hand towards Ravel, firing off an arrow of light towards her.
"Try this!"
Ravel launched a flame ball towards the light that was coming for her, but the arrow broke through her flames. Ravel panicked, dodging to the side just in time, but ripped her dress, exposing some of her breast towards everyone.
"My light is like that of an Angel's. There's nothing that you'll be able to do against me. Don't you even know something like that? Freeze everything you want young boy, but it doesn't change anything! I can produce many arrows, and I will use them all towards you too!"
The Queen looked towards Asia and Ravel at the same time, and saw her opportunity, firing off a myriad of light arrows that were denser than Raynare's spears, and despite Makoto knowing it was going to hurt, he rushed over, and ordered the bird in front of Ravel at the same time.
"W-What are you!?"
Ravel was shocked as the bird froze each of the arrows the best that it could, ones that Ravel's barriers didn't block.
"Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
At the same time, Makoto used his body to protect Asia from being attacked.
"Makoto-san! I-I-"
Asia didn't know what to say, and ended up being more worried, using her Sacred Gear to heal him despite being stabbed with the arrows of light, defending Asia from being hurt, knowing that she was more useful in the fight than he was right now, due to her healing power.
"I-It's alright don't worry about me Asia-chan. I always said that I'm your shield, and that's what I am Asia-chan, I'm your shield, no matter what."
Asia's eyes leaked tears, as Elmen sneaked her way to the Queen.
When she saw her opportunity, Elmen made a knife of light, stabbing it into her shoulder.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! You fucking bitch!"
Because of the stabbing, the Queen had to stop firing the arrows, allowing the arrows to stop, which gave Ravel and the bird time to rush over to Makoto, and Asia, seeing Asia crying as she healed his body.
"Take that you bitch!"
Elmen smirked, and then the Queen smacked Elmenhilde away, blasting light into her face.
Elmen skidded across the ground, panting from the attack, she wasn't that durable right now.
"Makoto-sama! W-Why did you defend me!?"
"Because, Ravel-san…you've got a better chance of surviving the fight than me…I know my role in this battle now, yours is to secure a victory. If I can't beat this Queen, with Elmen-chan, then you're gonna have to finish her off. And Asia-chan is the healer, she's someone that cannot be taken out of the fight. Don't worry, I've got you girls secure."
Ravel looked down, as did Asia, feeling sad that they were used in such a way, promising to not be like that in the future.
The Queen looked towards Makoto, the bird on his shoulder, and the other two.
"Hmmmm, I think that I have to take out one of them now…better try a full burst…I can't waste much power here. I have to make sure that they are taken out now."
The Queen changed tactic, and aimed her hands towards Makoto. He fully was ready to defend himself, but then she suddenly turned towards the downed Elmen, who hadn't been expecting it, shooting off many arrows of light.
"Elmen-chan!"
Makoto rushed towards her, as she activated a barrier to defend herself.
But the arrows smashed through the barriers easily, and collided with her body. They bombarded her, again and again. The arrows hit her small body, tearing off her outfit, and exposing her small body to the group, but it didn't matter now, as Elmen was in much pain.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
"Stop it you bitch!"
Makoto pleaded, and shot off an attack towards her, causing the woman to use some arrows to block the demonic power. But Elmen's body was punctured full of different wounds, and even though she was a Vampire, she still had a weakness to holy things, and this light was holy enough to hurt her. No, it did more than that, the light poisoned her, making her feel sick, and even made her head spin at the same time.
"I-I might be down…b-but, I'm not doing nothing…"
However, Elmen gathered a light in her hand before the remains of her strength could fade, firing off a blast of light towards the enemy, catching her off guard.
"Fuck off!"
The woman attempted to make a barrier, but the light was too fast, hitting her arm, and exploded. The woman released a howl of pain, and blood came out of her arm, dangling by her side. The arm became unusable, Makoto seeing that, and thanked Elmen deep within his heart.
"Elmen-chan, I'm here now! I'm here!"
He took the young Vampire in his arms, and looked down towards her, smiling towards her, as she smiled up at him, despite the pain that she felt, and lights appeared all over her body, indicating what was about to happen.
"Mak-Makoto-kun…I d-did my best…"
"Yes, you did. You did your best, and did well. Because of your mist, we managed to get the upper hand, you did amazing Elmen-chan. I know that we'd be able to win because of you, thanks for doing this."
Elmen smiled up, as the lights circulated around her.
"Thanks…I'm glad, I was able to…do my best…I thought I was going to be…the weakest today…but, I wasn't…I did it…too…"
"Yeah, you did. Well done. Just relax now, just relax your body."
Elmen let out a cry as she disappeared into the air, in the lights.
[Millicas-sama's one Pawn, retires.]
Makoto couldn't stand it anymore.
Koneko.
Kalawarner.
Yumi.
Elmen.
Everyone.
Everyone who had disappeared, she couldn't stand it anymore, hating everything that had happened.
He looked over towards Ravel, and Asia, and then towards the panting Queen.
"Ravel-san, I need you to look after Asia-chan for me."
"Makoto-sama, what are you…?"
Makoto changed the bird into its bird form, as fire danced within his palm, and ice gathered around the bird, slowly mixing together.
"I'm gonna have to take this Queen out. Millicas-san might need healing, and she might need you Ravel-san. Between me and you, you've got more stamina. And wasting it on this Queen, isn't something that you have to do. This is going to have to be the decider."
Ravel wasn't sure at first, but from what he said, it did make sense.
Out of all of them, he had the least stamina, yet the most chances of winning.
Bowing her head respectably, she consented.
"I understand Makoto-sama. Leave Asia-sama's safety in my hands. Just make sure that you don't lose, okay? We have to win here, so don't lose to this person. I know that she's strong, but you're stronger, no matter what. She might have less wounds than you, but according to my calculations, if you use the attack I'm thinking off, and it manages to successfully hit her, then it will bring her down to the point where she can be finished off."
"Thanks, Ravel-san. I've got it." He looked towards Asia, and saw her worried face. "Don't worry Asia-chan, leave this to me. Just make sure that Millicas-san and Ravel-san there stays afloat, alright? I know that you can do it."
"Makoto-san…please win!"
Ravel rushed over to Asia, and placed some barriers around them.
Makoto then turned towards the injured Queen, and grinned.
"Ready to be beaten you bitch?"
The Queen's eyes were hollow as she made a destructive power of light in her hand from her Sacred Gear. Makoto didn't mind though, and continued charging up his attack. He couldn't do this attack continuously, but it was an attack that was quite strong.
"Hmph, I won't be losing to the Queen of Serafall. I might've underestimated you all, but it doesn't matter now. I'm going to have to defeat you, I won't lose to someone like you bastard! My Master needs me by his side, and I won't be losing to yoooooooooooooooooooooooou!"
The Queen unleashed her attack as Makoto mixed his attack perfectly.
"Then, be gone!"
Makoto unleashed his mixture of fire, and ice.
This time, unlike the last time, this time it was using the power of the Sacred Gear, to power the ice, and the fire was all Makoto's demonic power. He didn't have to split it this time. He didn't have to split his focus, allowing the power to flow naturally.
Makoto's power, and the Queen's power clashed against one another, causing a shockwave throughout the area.
"D-Damn! That's some power!"
Ravel complained as Asia put her hands together, silently wishing Makoto to win the fight, to beat the enemy Queen.
"N-No! I'm being pushed back!?"
The Queen put more power into the attack, trying to defeat the enemy.
But Makoto pushed even more in their struggle, and put more power into the attack.
"Don't you dare think you're going to win against meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
Makoto's power smashed through the energy attack of the Queen, and continued for the Queen's body.
As expected, the Queen made barriers around herself, but Makoto's attack pushed through as he ran forward despite being exhausted, and charged the bird into sword form, he was going to finish off the enemy.
"Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
The Queen received a mixture of burns, and ice coldness against her body, causing her body to fly backwards.
"Just one hit, and you'll be gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooone!"
Makoto rushed as fast as he could as the Queen was in a daze.
However, she saw him, and fashioned the arrow of light into a sword with the last of her strength…
STAB! STAB!
In the end, the result was Makoto, and the Queen, having their respect blades inside of each other.
The light of the arrow/sword the Queen used, and the sword of ice from Makoto's Sacred Gear, the pair looking at one another in disdain.
"…Y-You…"
The Queen coughed up some blood, as lights danced around her.
Makoto had some lights around him too, but he smirked.
"By the way, Elsa-chan is awesome, being compared to her…I'm fine with that. And also..." Makoto leaned as close as she could so only she heard. "The cold never bothered me anyway."
The Queen's eyes were enraged, an obvious joke at what she called him before and even the same lines from the song she loved at the same time being used against her was devastating, the Queen's body disappearing as the lights and then she was departed from the space, Makoto's body falling down to the ground.
[Zephyrdor-sama's one Queen, retires.]
"Makoto-san!"
Asia rushed over, and was going to heal his wound, but she saw the retirement lights surrounding him, and held her head down sadly, tears dancing within her eyes, but Makoto waved his hand, not wanting her to worry.
"Don't worry Asia-chan…I'm okay, but there's one more thing I have to do before I disappear…"
Makoto placed a hand on his ear, and activated the communication device…
As that happened, Millicas, and Zephyrdor's battle slowly raged on.
The battle itself had been more Zephyrdor's side, than anything else.
However, that didn't matter in the end to Millicas, because she knew that her friends were suffering, trying their best, and she felt pitiful that she wasn't doing the same thing.
Having heard all of the retirements of her peerage, she really didn't like the fact at all. She really hated that everyone was going through something's without her being able to do everything that she could do to fight this enemy.
"Oh, Millicas. It seems like you're getting tired now. Well, we've been doing this for a little while at least. I don't think that I can do something like that now. Hahahaha, don't be so worried Millicas, marrying me isn't going to be so bad."
"I…I'm not marrying you…"
"Then, why don't you do something to me!?"
The man unleashed a large blast of power, surprising the young girl, and knocked her down onto the ground, deep into the mud. Millicas' eyes leaked nears, not because she was hit, but because she felt useless.
She hated feeling like this.
If she could, she wouldn't feel like this.
But after everything going down, she couldn't do anymore than this now.
[Zephyrdor-sama's one Queen, retires.]
Zephyrdor's eyes changed to rage when he heard that, Millicas' eyes shooting open at such an announcement.
"What the fuck!? She lost to their pathetic lot!? How the hell does that happen?! Damn it all! This isn't right! I hate this! I hate all of this! Fuck this bitch here! Millicas Gremory beat my peerage did she!? Well, I'll just beat her down now!"
But even then, she was very worried about what she was going to do.
Zephyrdor didn't look happy, and she looked beaten down.
No, she was beaten down.
She didn't think that she would be able to continue the fight now.
But then, she heard the communications device acting up.
[Millicas-san, a-are you alright?]
She sniffled, immensely relieved that he was alright. But something about his voice sounded distant, sounding far away yet despite it should be as clear as day.
"Makoto-san I…I don't know…"
[Millicas-san, listen to me, alright. Beat that guy, I know that you're stronger than he is, we all know that you are. But, you're always so worried about us, that you should have beaten this guy by now, why haven't you?]
"Makoto-san…I'm s-scared that if I lose…"
Tears formed in her eyes, and her heart hurt.
She didn't want to be like this, she understood how pathetic it was.
[Don't think about losing, think about winning. Just win the fight, win for everyone. Remember, everyone came today, for you. Everyone fought, for you. They all came for you, so you can't let us down now…I know that you're scared, I know that you're worried, but you don't have to be.]
"B-But…"
Millicas felt down, she didn't know if she would be able to do it.
Even with Makoto believing in himself, and everyone doing the same thing.
[I know how it feels to be scared, Millicas-san. I know that you're frightened Millicas-san, but I believe in you. I know that you can do it. I believe in you Millicas-san, everyone believes in you. I know that you can do it Millicas-san, I know that you can do it. Everyone believes in you, and most of all, you should believe in yourself. Just believe-]
And then, the communications device cut off, and then she heard the very disturbing news.
[Millicas-sama's one Queen, retires.]
That…was a very cruel announcement to Millicas' ears.
It was too cruel, and it made her feel very small…
The thought of losing Makoto on top of everyone else, seemed like a cruel destiny, it truly was a cruel destiny in her eyes.
"Well it seems like your pathetic Queen has gone too."
Millicas stopped herself feeling sorry for herself, and looked up, a dark gleam within her eyes.
"What did you say?"
The coldness of the words didn't sound like Millicas at all, it sounded very unlike Millicas to hear something like that.
Zephyrdor either didn't hear, or he didn't care, and just laughed out loud.
"Wow, I'm really dealing with a dumb peerage! That Queen really pissed me off from the moment I met him. but it seems like he lost now, and your peerage is just shit, it really is quite shit. Hmph, honestly I am surprised that you lasted as long as you did. Well, it also shows in the way that you look right now, how criminal and all."
That, was the pushing point for her…
It wasn't something that he should've said.
Mocking her, she could stand just about. But, doing it to Makoto and the others, she wasn't going to handle that, and now she knew what she had to do.
She certainly knew that she had to do it, because there wasn't anyone left.
No more hiding now, no more running away.
"…You know, I've had enough of you."
Millicas' rage boiled over as she took to her feet.
Power radiated around her. The aura of crimson was high, the power she held was high. The power was above that of a High Class Devil, it was stronger than that.
Zephyrdor looked on, and gulped when she took a step forward, now realizing the situation that he was actually in, and what could happen to him.
"M-Millicas I…"
For once in his life, Zephyrdor actually felt fear.
Millicas seemed different to what she did beforehand.
Before, she looked meek, and wouldn't harm a fly.
Now, she looked as if she would murder the fly.
Such a change, after hearing everything she did, it gave her inner strength. It gave her the power that she needed, and always held deep inside of her. The power that she had inherited from her Father, and Mother, surrounding her body strongly, and wouldn't ever disappear at all.
Slowly, she raised her hand, which held the POD aura around it, and shot off a blast of it.
The Devil male obviously didn't want to deal with it, so he raised barriers to defend himself, only for said barriers to be broken by Millicas' powers, the strong power that he didn't think that she would ever display strongly.
"Aaaaaaaaaaagh!"
He let out a cry as her power pierced his body, blood spurting out of him.
"Don't be weak. My friends suffered more than that."
Millicas swiped her hand, unleashing a large blast of the power.
"Fuck you!"
Zephyrdor attempted to match the power, but her power broke through his own easily, and crumbled it away. The POD continued going on, and then hit his body, wounds appearing all over the mans body, blood streaming out of him.
"Why aren't you fighting back? Didn't you boast that we were weak Zephyrdor-san?"
Zephyrdor gritted his teeth, and then stood up on shaky legs. Despite the blood coming out of him, he gathered the power he had in his hands as much as he could, and aimed it towards Millicas, a large demonic power being within his hands.
"Do you really think that you'll be able to beat me!? I'm Zephyrdor! I'm not going to lose to someone like you! You're all weak! You all won by cheating! That's all it is! My peerage is better than your fake one! You don't even have a real one!"
Millicas nodded as she put her hands together, condensing the POD that she had. The sphere was red and black, and though it wasn't big, it held an immense power deep within it, a power like no other at all.
Ravel, and Asia arrive at the scene, seeing what was going on, and each held their hands to their faces, not sure what they were supposed to do. However, it seemed like Millicas had this now, her power was off the charts.
"We didn't cheat, we did what a Rating Game is for, and used strategy. That's how we were able to fight now. Makoto-san, and the others did their best. We might not be a true peerage as you say, but we are closer than your peerage is. We work together, we stand by one another. You all had dark personalities, and while you're stronger than us, it doesn't matter at all. So, why don't you just disappear?"
"Fuck offfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!"
Zephyrdor released the demonic power of a good grade.
It was like a large wave, it was like a power that could obliterate anything…
But Millicas' own power was sprung forward at the same time.
The sphere of the POD was released at the same time, and clashed against the power of Zephyrdor.
"W-What is this shit!?"
Zephyrdor was shocked when Millicas' power overwhelmed all of his power. The sphere was small, but it was very powerful. It obliterated the power of Zephyrdor's, and continued for Zephyrdor, who could see the power coming for him.
"I told you! Don't underestimate us!"
Millicas pooled her power, concentrating the efforts on the power.
Zephyrdor raised barriers, but the POD breaking through the barriers. No matter what he did, the power was just too strong, and the power collided with his body, the centre of his body, blood spewing out of his mouth as it exploded.
"Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Zephyrdor was blown away from Millicas, who completely dominated the fight now.
Before it was more even. But, Millicas now had her powers unleashed, she had to use her power no matter what, she wasn't going to hold back anymore, and used the power to break through the enemies body.
"Whoa…I knew Millicas-sama was strong, but I didn't know that she was this strong…"
Ravel was in awe as she watched Millicas beat down Zephyrdor with her powers.
Asia was in the same situation, glad that Millicas usually was so kind towards her, and the others. Her power was quite frightening when she was pissed off.
"Guwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Zephyrdor was blasted one more time with Millicas' power, but this time she made sure the energy she used was enough, and it was. Zephyrdor was beaten now, the power that Millicas had overwhelmed then all. blood was coming out of him, his face was swollen, and his body was bruised.
Lights of the retirement came, surrounding his body.
"Y-You're a monster…a-all of your g-group are…"
"Maybe, that's the case. But, I cannot say any more than this now. You see, you've mocked the wrong people. Don't ever mock my friends. They did all they could for me, and gave me this chance of victory. So, don't make that mistake. Oh, the wedding's off, I've got someone else I really like, and that's not you."
Zephyrdor's eyes became moist, and then he shed some tears, rolling down his face, as he disappeared.
[Z-Z-Zephyrdor-sama's retirement confirmed. Winner, Millicas Gremory-sama!]
Usually, Grayfia's voice was calm, but most couldn't deny the sweetness behind her words now. Even how chipper she sounded, well at least for Grayfia anyway.
"Millicas-sama! You did it!"
Ravel cheered as she walked over with Asia.
"Y-Yes, you did it Millicas-san, well done!"
Millicas' smile turned wider, then she shook her head.
"This victory isn't mine alone, it is all of ours. We all did it this time, we all did our best. This time, this win is for all of us. Ravel-sans, Asia-sans, Elmen-sans, Koneko-sans, Kiba-senpai's, Kalawarner-sans, and also, Makoto-sans too. We all did this, together."
Ravel and Asia smiled together, as did Millicas, the girl making a decision in her mind now.
After the Rating Game, Makoto laid in a hospital bed, still currently sleeping. People had come and gone, seeing that he was alright. Thankfully, he, and the other members of the group were going to be fine. A day or so in hospital was all they'll need before being on the road to recovery.
Serafall had some duties to do, so she couldn't stay with her Queen, but promised herself to get closer to him later on.
However, one person didn't leave the room.
One person stayed in the room for all of it all.
That person, despite the injuries she held herself, didn't leave the room at all.
And that person was…
"Ngh…"
Makoto's eyes cracked up, to be met with a ruby red look.
"Hey, sleepy head. How have you been?"
The one who was there, was Millicas herself, placing a hand on his face, and gently stroked.
He sat up with some difficulty, placing a hand on his side.
"It might be a little sore for a little while, but you'll be okay. It seems like everyone is going to be okay now."
"The Game?"
Millicas' lips curled upwards, as she sat closer towards him.
"We won, Makoto-san. We won because of everyone beating the enemy."
Makoto sighed in relief.
"Well, that's good, we all won in the end. Haha, that's great."
Millicas nodded, but something was different about her.
She seemed more, calm now. More relaxed than before. She seemed to be more, happy than she was before.
Slowly, she crawled up the bed, and placed her hands on his face fully, cupping his face.
"Millicas-san…?"
Answering his doubt, Millicas' cute lips turned upwards, and leaned closer.
"Makoto-san, I've got something's to say, would you listen?"
"I'm not going anywhere."
His smile caused the young girl to lean even closer, nuzzling against his face with her own, her scent wafting in his nostrils, the scent blowing his mind. Makoto watched as Millicas leaned even closer, giving the young boy an enchanting smile.
"Makoto-san, all of this time, I've been wondering so many things. Remember just before the familiar stuff went down? And I asked about what your opinion of love was?" He slowly nodded, as she continued to smile. "I don't think I ever gave my opinion, want to hear it?"
"Millicas-san…"
"My opinion of love is…well, there's many things. Waiting for a smile from the person you admire. Gaining strength from their actions, and words. Someone who would always stand beside you, someone that helps you so much that you can't believe it. A man that would, want to always be with you…I think my opinion of love might seem weird…but, the day I met a certain someone, I think I already began loving that person."
"Millicas-san, you're saying…"
Millicas smiled dazzlingly, and then brushed his lips and her own together. It wasn't a full kiss, but it caused both of their faces to turn redder by the second.
"Makoto-san is someone that I truly cherish. No matter the hardships, no matter the hardness of the fights, Makoto-san always did his best. You did it for me, you really came to my rescue, and encouraged me to fight. I was scared, and frightened, I always thought of what could be, and didn't focus on what is. That's why, Makoto-san. I've decided, something important."
"What's that?"
Millicas continued to smile, her cute face turning redder.
"Whatever happens in the future, can I stay beside you?"
"S-Stay beside me?"
She nods, her eyes resolute.
"I've been thinking about it, and I want to see Makoto-sans future, I want to be right beside him in his future. No matter what my position would be, I want to see it through till the end with Makoto-san. I don't know how long it will take…but, Makoto-san is the man that I want to stay with, always. Being with Makoto-san, is what I want. No matter what else, I want to be with you. Like Asia-san gets to be…I don't know how my family would think of it, and maybe they'd be against it…but, if I could become apart of Makoto-sans peerage then…"
"Y-You want to be in my peerage!? Is that okay!? Asia-chan's one thing, but aren't you the daughter of the Maou-sama or something…? Wouldn't it be weird if you did something like that…? I don't know, it seems weird to think about…"
"Yes, I think it would be alright, or maybe it wouldn't be. But, I don't care that much. Allowing myself to stand beside Makoto-san is my decision. I never really get to choose what my life becomes, even when I was a child, I didn't get to choose much. But…with you, Makoto-san gives me many choices, many types of futures that I could be in. It's fun beside Makoto-san, it's interesting, and I want to be near the man that I admire…and today, I've seen Makoto-sans own thoughts and how when I was nervous, and scared, took control, and helped me gain my courage. Makoto-sans more suited to a King than I am. I, just want to be beside Makoto-san no matter what happens in the future. So…if it wouldn't be too much trouble, is it okay if I stay with you?"
Makoto turned his lips upwards, gently smiling and then brushed his lips on the top of her head, Millicas' face turning red.
"Millicas-san, you've been beside me since the beginning in this Devils world. Because of you, I survived many hardships, and if you want to be beside me as I go forward, then I would love it. You always have a place beside me Millicas-san."
Hearing that was more than enough for Millicas, and while she had teary eyes, it didn't stop her kissing Makoto on the lips, taking her first kiss, only ever wanting him to be the one who kissed her, Makoto surprised.
He didn't stop the kiss, he was a little shell shocked at the beginning. Though he soon accepted the kiss, and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer. Millicas gave in, laying on his side, as their lips came together again and again.
Once the kiss ended, Millicas laid her head on Makoto's chest, holding one of his hands tightly.
"Makoto-san…"
"Yeah?"
She looked upwards, and grinned cutely.
"That was my first kiss you know?"
"W-Was it…?"
Nodding at him, Millicas kissed his cheek, and then hovered near his face.
"I'm glad I met you."
"Hehe, me too."
Millicas becoming more bolder, and pressed her lips against his own again, blending into the love that they shared with one another. Unspoken for, but it was real between the two of them. They both shared feelings between each other, even if it didn't have to be spoken.
At the doorway, Sirzechs, and Grayfia looked in to see the pair kissing one another, Sirzechs' lips turning downwards.
"It seems like Millicas has fallen in love…"
"It does appear to be like that, Sirzechs-sama."
Grayfia noted, as she looked into the room.
Though she didn't show it on her face, her eyes showed that she was happy.
"Ooh Grayfia…what she said about going into the Queen of Serafall's peerage…w-would that even be alright…?"
"That's our daughter, and if that's what she wants…seems like she takes after me, becoming her lovers Queen. No…I shall make sure that Millicas becomes an important piece in his peerage if that's how she desires. How the Underworld will take it…I cannot be sure. But, if this is her desire…we've already placed her under enough trouble, she should get a chance to be happy."
Sirzechs couldn't agree more, and looked into the room again, to see Millicas now holding onto Makoto tightly, and he did the same. His mind briefly switched the images he saw for him and Grayfia, then it switched back to Makoto, and Millicas, seeing how close they were.
"The Underworld be damned. This is our baby girls happiness after all."
In the end, that's all they cared about.
Not power, not anything else, but just a declaration of love, and affection. The pair, truly did look good in their eyes. Makoto, and Millicas, they truly did look good in their eyes, and the pair decided without even speaking that they were going to make sure that Makoto and Millicas have a happy life, and of course, make sure Millicas became a very prominent member in Makoto's growing harem, having already had a few females attention on him, even his own King. Sirzechs though, was happy if Makoto was the man that won over Millicas, already displaying his strength, and how far he truly went for her.
End chapter!
So, that's the end of the fights!
Elmen showed her stuff this time, with her Vampire drinking blood ability, and such. The plan which started two chapters ago has been fully revealed, well done to anyone that managed to guess that. Yup, Makoto's power can even affect the mind! Though, only at this point it works gradually, but it will grow to be able to do more in the future. Millicas, after being pushed, truly showed her stuff, and beat down Zephyrdor, and then all but confessed to Makoto, wanting to even join his future peerage! In canon, obviously it wouldn't be able to happen, in this though, it very well could happen. But either way, Millicas is the third girl to kiss Makoto!
Next chapter will be zero fighting, yes, zero fighting. It will be an inbetween chapter for the wedding, but it will have important events as well going on, so look forward to that. And just a reminder that I wont be doing the Rias/Riser fight for newcomers who might be wondering, as there was a vote a few chapters ago, and it was voted to skip, important events however shall be discussed among the characters and until next chapter!
