I DON'T OWN ANYTHING

Chapter 6

Issei and the other students decided to wait in the clubroom until Grayfia returned from the Underworld with news about the upcoming tournament, Kalawarner returned to the nurses office to fulfill her duties as school nurse, they all say in the room drinking tea prepared by Akeno and waited.

(Underworld)

"So how did it go, did she accept the challenge" a middle age man with long crimson hair with a short beard asked Grayfia upon her return.

"No she did not Lord Gremory, Raiser challenge the unknown that is in her territory" she told him,

"You mean the dragon, devil hybrid that acquired his own peerage that we received the report about" another crimson haired man asked,

"Yes Sirzechs sama"

"Is this unknown strong enough to defeat Raiser" another middle age man ask he had long blonde hair

"It might be Raiser sama most challenging fight he ever had, and the unknown have to fight Raiser sama and his peerage alone", she said to them

"I see we wanted Rias to be the one to defeat him but we feared she wasn't strong enough to defeat him" Lord Gremory stated, "but this unknown might teach him a lesson if not defeat him"

"Grayfia you met the young man what is you assessment of him, based on what you saw" Lord Phenex asked

"I'll have to say I think he's more than a devil dragon hybrid, when went to retrieve Lady Rias I couldn't penetrate the barrier around his house" she told, "I think Lady Rias suspects he's hiding something more but don't know what it is"

"I see and there's also the report of this uncle that raised him and help him create his peerage, yes we don't know who this dragon is it might be Fafnir or Crom Crauch, Midgardsormr has been asleep before the great war started and have not woke up and Tiamat is in the familiar forest", Sirzechs said out-loud

"That maybe true so it's either an evil dragon or the Golden Dragon Monarch" Lord Phenex commented

"What about Yu-Long" Lord Gremory asked

"I spoke both him and Sun Wukong after I received the report about him, they both told me they have no knowledge of the young man" Sirzechs told them

"By the way what is his name" Lord Phenex inquired

"His name is Issei Hyoudou, if you like I can send the information about him to your house Lord Phenex" Grayfia said with a bow

"I see thank you Grayfia, and my house accept this change and the wager how about you Lord Gremory"

"We accept let's have them fight in ten days" Lord Gremory suggested

"There you have it Grayfia you can tell him of the date for the match" Sirzechs told her, and with that she teleported away leaving him with the two gentleman "What do you think he's hiding" he asked of them, they looked at each other before looking at Sirzechs,

"I don't know I just hope he can deliver it's my daughter that he wagered" Lord Gremory stated

"As long as he entertain me with this match I don't really care for the outcome" Lord Phenex said

Sirzechs just sat there with a smile on his face "what are you really Issei Hyoudou" he thought to himself

(Old School Building)

The members of the ORC was patiently waiting for Grayfia to return while drinking tea and eating snacks offered by Akeno, it's been over 45 minutes since Grayfia left as they sat there they saw a magic circle appeared and from Grayfia stood there stoic and calm as ever,

"The date for the match between Issei Hyoudou and Raiser Phenex sama is n 10 days" she told them

"Thank you Grayfia is there anything else" Rias asked her

"No that is all to report" she said with a bow before disappearing in another magic circle.

"I see so I fight him in 10 days that's to long", Issei said out-loud

"Ise don't you need to train for the match" Akeno asked

"Nah I'll be fine"

"I know your sure of yourself but it's my life on the line, if you don't mind I'd like this time to assess your skills" Rias told him

"Sure I can also use this time to train my peerage as-well" he told them,

"Great my family have a villa in the mountains that will be perfect little getaway for training" Rias said with a smile

"But I have a training room in my house we don't have to go to the mountains" he spoke up

Rias had a defeated look on her face she wanted to take him to the mountains so she could get closer to him, then she found an ally in his bishop as she spoke up

"Uuummm Ise I would like if we go training in the mountains I would like to be outside during our training" Asia said while fiddling with her fingers

"Do you all want to be in the mountains" he asked the others, they all nodded a yes

"Fine but there will be no teleportation you will be carrying your own luggage and extra weights" he told them, they suddenly regretted their decision.

After they finished there tea and snacks the returned back to the rest of the classes they had that day, after school Rias and her peerage used their familiars to send message to the clients they had in town that they will be away for a few days and will alert them upon their return, as Issei was walking home with Asia, Mittelt and Raynare in her Yuuma form they noticed Koneko standing in-front of a confectionery store with a sad look on her face.

"Koneko what's wrong" Mittelt asked her, she looked at the group and answered with an emotional stare before answering, "I forgot my wallet in the clubroom" she told them, then Issei spoke up and made his first mistake he ever made with Koneko, "Koneko would you like me to buy the sweets that you like for you"he asked her,

"You would do that for me Issei senpai"

"Yes but only if you call me Ise" he told her she nodded her reply before walking into the store, he then asked the other girls with him, "would you all like something as-well"

the girls just smiled and entered the store.

Upon leaving Mittelt, Asia and Raynare had a hand full of candy and sweets but Koneko was for paper bags of sweets and candy weighing 20lbs, he tried to fathom how can she eat so many sweets, but just before the went there separate ways she gave him one of her Pocky boxes, accepted it with a smile still wondering how long the sweets and snacks he bought for her will last.

Kalawarner had to stay after school for a staff meeting but when she got home and heard when the battle would take place she didn't have to worry for she trusted in Issei's strength, but what she was shocked about was the training trip they were taking and the fact that they will be walking to the mountains with their own luggage and weights, she just glared at her three female roommates for making this decision without her having any say in the matter, but in reality she didn't care where they trained as long as Issei was training her to get stronger, that night they all packed for the trip they will be taking in the morning after they finished packing they all went into Issei's room when they thought he was asleep again.

After breakfast the girls wondered why Issei was walking around the house taking pictures, "Ise what are those pictures for" Mittelt asked,

"My mother wanted pictures after the renovation was completed, so I'm gonna send her the pictures", he told her, after he finished they left the house to meet up with Rias and her peerage so they all can go to the villa her family owns in the mountains.

Issei could tell the difference in his peerage strength as they walked along a path up the mountain, Raynare and Mittelt asked to be promoted to Rooks so they could have the strength to carry their bags up the mountain, he denied that request and now they were struggling to catch there breaths at the half way mark, even though Kalawarner had the strength of a Rook she carried more weight than the two pawns, he had Asia practice her barrier magic by placing her luggage in a barrier and walk with it that way.

Rias also had Yuuto and Koneko carry weights along with their luggage as-well, when they arrived at the villa Issei's peerage all fell on the ground glad that they finally reached their destination, "ok after Rias assign us our rooms change into your gym clothes and we'll start training in 30 minutes" he told his peerage they looked at him with sad downcast expressions,

"Ise you don't want them to rest for the night and start tomorrow" Rias asked him, the four girls just looked at her thankfully that someone had a voice of reason, but became sad again when Issei denied that idea, "no I think thirty minutes is enough"he told her.

Issei and Yuuto shared a room and were currently in the middle when Yuuto suddenly spoke to him while holding a shirt to his chest, "hey Ise please don't look", Issei just cocked an eyebrow when he answered him, "hey Yuuto I know we don't know each other for a long time but I'll let you know now that I don't swing that way" Yuuto just smiled and continue getting dressed "she will be glad to know he prefers women" he thought to himself.

"Aight before I start the training for the four of you Rias wanted to test my abilities, so we'll do that first" he then looked at Rias, "whenever your ready" he told her.

Rias nodded before giving commands to her peerage, "Yuuto, Koneko attack don't hold back" she told her Knight and Rook, Kiba ran towards Issei and a sword started appearing in the palm of his hand, but before he got close to him a boulder was already thrown towards Issei by Koneko, he jumped in the air to avoid the boulder and Yuuto was there waiting for him bringing the sword in a downward slash, the slash was stopped as Issei held Yuuto's sword in between the palms of both his hands then kicked Yuuto in the stomach pushing him back and went to land on the ground.

When he landed he was met with a flurry of punches from Koneko that he blocked with palms open, as her fist connected with his palms she was looking for an opening but never found one, then Issei went on the counterattack he faked a left punch and went with a right hook it didn't connect, he faked a straight punch to her face but went for a low punch to her stomach, she was getting frustrated falling for all his fake outs, she new he was faster that her but what got her angry is that he never connected any of his punches, as she was about to throw another punch Issei stepped in and grab her by the arm and leg did a quick spin then threw her.

Kiba saw that Issei was about to throw his teammate and decided this was a good opening he silently rushed to Issei's back with his sword pointing straight, he was surprised when Issei bent backwards and saw a smile on Issei's face before he grabbed his sword hand and was brought into and overhead thrown and landed on his back, Issei then looked at Rias "well then these two have great teamwork", Rias smiled while forming a red ball in the palm of her hand, "indeed they do now it's time to fight me and Akeno" she said confidently.

Akeno started out sending multiple lightning strikes at Issei, he dodged all of them by somersaulting backwards, Rias then started talking to Issei " this is the POWER OF DESTRUCTION passed down to me from my mother, prepare yourself" she said out-loud, Issei stood there watching Rias attack coming at him, he cocked his right hand back with his left hand out-front and his legs bent in a battle stance, "Flame of the devouring Dragon" he shouted, his right hand went forward as if about to punch someone releasing a flame the size of his head from his hand, Rias watched on as her attack collided with Issei's flame and saw the impossible, the flame was gaining in size as her attack was shrinking, then the flame was about to hit Rias, she waited for the attack but only felt the heat as the flame dissipated around her.

"Ise what kind of attack was that" she asked him

"It's a dragon attack that literally eats the opponents magic" he told her

"Okay I'm satisfied, I'll put my faith in you completely during your match"

"Thank you" he said with a bow before turning to his peerage, "now then it's time for the four of you to start training" he said with a maniacal grin, this sent shivers down their spines.

Issei started out with training Mittelt, Raynare and Kalawarner with hand to hand combat, that training was pretty much one sided as Issei had the upper hand the entire time, the only time they stopped was to get healed by Asia, Issei had asked Asia to create a barrier big enough for her and one other person to fit inside and when someone enter the barrier she has to do her best to heal that person without dropping the barrier, at first she couldn't heal someone within the barrier but as the training went on she getting the hang of it.

Rias was watching Issei train his peerage as she talked to her own, "well Yuuto what did he say when you were alone with him" she asked her Knight, "he's definitely into women" She smiled upon hearing this, "and what of his fighting skill", this time it was Koneko who answered, "he is better and stronger than us, he was holding back so he wouldn't hurt us", "I agree I just wish he'd let that flame devour me" Akeno said with a seductive smile.

Kalawarner, Mittelt, Asia ans Raynare entered the villa tired and sore, their spirits rose as the smell of dinner entered their nose, Rias and Akeno had prepared dinner for everyone that night and the girls were glad, they never felt so exhausted before as they sat at the dining table, for the meal Issei thought it was funny that they were eating turkey that night, during dinner Rias started talking about taking the bath.

"Good thing we have an huge outdoor bath that we all can fit in" she then looked at Issei, "I don't mind if you join in and I'm sure all the girls here will be happy to share a bath with you" she told him

All the girls answered one by one,

"I don't mind" Koneko said

"I can wash his back" Akeno told them

"I never took a bath with a boy, please take care of me" Asia answered with a blush

"I can wash his chest" Kalawarner said with a smile

"Then I'll wash his member" Raynare shouted

"I don't have anything to wash" Mittelt said with a sad tone in her voice

Rias was slightly shocked at the responses she got for suggesting that Issei take a bath with her and the other girls, she never expected this sort of outcome, the most she expected was a simple yes from them, Issei just smiled and told them he'll be taking a bath alone, his four became a little sad as they heard this, Rias was sad as-well as she thought it was a great opportunity to get close to him.

The next day Issei was training his peerage to enhance their magic stamina his reason for doing this was to reduce their magic consumption during a battle, he also told them if they increase their magic stamina that will also help them increase the amount of wings they have, the training consisted of them constantly depleting their magic reserve by throwing light spears at Asia's barrier, as this went on Rias and her peerage were also training Yuuto was running around the villa with weights attached to his legs to increase his speed, Koneko was in the forest behind the villa doing her own training, Akeno was also increasing her magic stamina by shooting lightning bolts at the ground, Rias was trying to refine her power of power of destruction.

The third day of training Issei had his peerage running around the villa with weights attached, Rias came up to him and asked if he could give her some pointers or help her train her own peerage, he told he that Yuuto needs to work on his defense and not just work on his speed, even though he's fast a well place attack can slow him down and injure if not kill him, he then told her that Koneko has to work on her speed and not only strength and defense, as for Akeno he told her that during the fight with the stray he only saw her using the bishop attribute and if she's not using the other attributes of the Queen piece then she needs to, Rias thanked him and was about to walk away before Issei stopped her by asking her something that shocked her.

"Say Rias about Koneko and Akeno, why are they suppressing their true nature" he asked her

Rias was shocked that he he could tell, "how did you know" she asked him

"I sensed they were more than devils the first time I met them after my seal was broken, along with the other one you have locked away in that room" he told her

"I see you are part dragon so I guess you can sense those around you, but the reason is they all had a terrible past and I just want them to overcome it so can be happier"

"Well if they have their reasons I won't pursue"

Rias smiled as she heard him say that, "Ise how did you deal with being a mixed with a different race"

"Well it never bothered me my father died in the great war and my mother had to leave me alone with my uncle, she feared if her associates found out what I was they kill me, but she died in the great war as well and my uncle raised me until I was strong enough to take care of myself" he told her

"But a dragon devil hybrid isn't something that will get you kill"

"It's not that I'm more than a dragon devil hybrid, it's the third part of me that will get me killed"

She was stunned at the new information she received, "when you feel comfortable and trust me enough to tell me what you really are I'll be ready to listen" she said to him.

He smiled as he watched Rias walked away and he went back to watching his peerage run laps around the villa, that night Issei was taking a bath when he felt someone else entering the bath,

"I'm in here" he shouted

"I know, that's why I'm coming in" Rias replied

Issei couldn't help but notice her figure as she entered the bath with a towel covering her front, she sat at the other end of the bath away from him, "Issei I just wanted to thank you for helping me through this time of crisis, and also for the tips you gave me on training my peerage" she said to him, "if you don't mind I'll like to wash your back for you" she said seductively, he already knew she would find away to get what she wants and he didn't want to argue so he let her wash his back, the rest of the bath was quiet, when the other girls found out that they bath had taken some were upset that they didn't get to take a bath with him and only two were neutral.

The fourth day of training Issei was concentrating on helping his peerage with their fire draconian abilities, he was currently teaching them to be more fire resistant by having their dragon wing out and imagine that their entire body was covered in with thick scales, he was slowly breathing fire at them in intervals, for the entire morning none of them got a grasp of this ability but after lunch Kalawarner was the first then Mittelt, Raynare got the grasp of the ability before they stopped for dinner, Asia was a bit sad that she didn't get it but cheered up when Issei told her that after the match he'll teach her everything she don't understand alone in the training room at his house.

The fifth day was another day for them to increase their magic stamina, Issei had plan to increase their light base magic volatility but decided to do that when they were in the training room of his house, that night he found himself walking around the villa as everyone but one person asleep, he went straight to that person to have a conversation with her.

He found her out on the back veranda.

"Hello Rias can we talk for a bit"

She was sitting at a small round glass table looking at the moon, "sure have a seat join me" she replied

Issei then sit opposite of Rias with the table between them, Rias is wearing a red negligee with her crimson hair tied into one.

He then starts talking to her, "Rias why do you hate Raiser, no it's more like why are you against this marriage", Rias sighs at question, certainly Raiser seems like a scum and is quite the womaniser, but she can't reject this arrangement if he thinks about Rias's house problem.

"I'm a Gremory"

"Well that I already know"

"No I didn't re-introduce myself, I'm a Devil from the House of Gremory, and that name will follow me to wherever I go"

"Do you hate it"

"I feel proud of my family name, however, this is also something that is a burden to me, everyone looks at me as Rias from the Gremory I can't have them look at me simply as Rias, that's why I'm enjoying my life in the human world they don't know about the Gremory the devil, everyone looks at me as who I am, I really like that feeling I never felt something like this in the devil society, and I never will now on as well, the only time I can enjoy my life as myself is when I'm in the human world" she has a sad distant look in her eyes.

"I want to be with someone who will love me as Rias without the fact that I'm a Gremory, that's the small dream I have unfortunately, Raiser only looks at me as Rias from the Gremory and he loves me as Rias from the Gremory, that's why I hate it but still, the pride of being a Gremory is very important, my feelings may be complicated but I want to cherish this small dream I have"

"So you just want to be loved as Rias and not as Rias Gremory, I can understand why your against this decision"

"I don't know anything about Gremory or about the devils world, but to me Rias is Rias an overly eager girl who just wants to be happy" Issei said with a smile, she smiled at him from across the table.

"Hey Rias is there anyway I can get videos of his fights so I can view them"

"Yes I can have them delivered tomorrow morning"

"Thank you I'm going to bed now"

Ise thank you for talking to me I feel better now"

"Your welcome" and with that Issei went to bed leaving Rias behind.

During breakfast on the sixth day Rias had informed Issei that the tapes of Raiser's fight had arrived, Issei told his peerage to do their run around the villa until noon while he watches the recordings of Raiser's fights, Rias also instructed her peerage to train on their own and went to watch the recordings Issei, Issei realized that Raiser just let's his pieces run around until they get defeated before overwhelming his opponents defeating them all alone and claiming victory, he then saw the girl that attacked him in the clubroom, "her name is Mira she's his newest pawn" Rias told him while looking at a stack of paper with glasses on.

"Rias I thought devils had perfect eyesight"

"Oh these are just for show they help me think" she told him, Issei just nodded as he continued looking at the recordings, he saw the other pawns two cat girls wearing a short sailor shirt that only covered half of their breast, both wore fingerless gloves that matched the colour of their hair, two of his pawns were dressed as maids, and another dressed as a belly dancer, he had another pair of pawns that both ran around with chainsaws, Issei thought that it was a unique weapon to fight with.

"The rest of his pawns names are Ni, Li, Marion, Burent, Shuriya, Ile and Nel" Rias told him

Next was a tall young woman with long black hair with a dark blue tint and brown eyes, she wore a white top with black accents that is modeled after a Chinese cheongsam, red shorts, and armored, knee-high boots with matching gauntlets. The top features a diamond shape on the chest area, Issei liked the fact that she had some defense and didn't rely on her speed alone, her weapon is a giant Zweihander she use very effectively, it has a black blade with silver edges and has a black hilt with a red handle.

The other female who stands beside her is a young woman with light brown hair and green eyes, her outfit consists of a full set of silver armor with black accents that appears to be a cross between a European knight's chest plate, gauntlets and greaves and a Japanese Samurai hip plates and shoulder guards, and wears a headband that goes across her hair and forehead, she is equipped with a broadsword and a dagger, both of which are held with brown belts slung across her hip the broadsword is slung on her left hip, and features a red jewel on the pommel and has bandages across the handle for grip, the dagger which is located behind her hip features a gold hilt with bandages on the handle.

"Those two are his Knights Siris and Karlamine" Rias spoke up

They continue watching they match, "those are his his rooks Isabella and Xuelan" she told him looking at two women one had a mask covering half of her face and the other wore a blue cheongsam outfit.

"Is that another Phenex in his peerage" Issei asked looking a girl with blonde drill curls wearing purple dress,

"Yes that's his sister, one of his bishops Ravel Phenex, along with his other bishop Mihae"

"And finally his Queen Yubelluna, also known as the Bomb Queen" Rias stated looking at the older busty female with long wavy purple hair, with matching eyes.

As the match went on he saw that he sacrificed his pawns like they were nothing his other pieces put up a good fight, Issei also noticed that he makes his opponent feel like their at an advantage before crushing them completely, after they finished watching the recordings Issei went to his peerage and told them that their training is over for that day and on the next day they'll all fight him as-well he also asked Rias if she and her peerage can join the fight too which she agreed.

It was the seventh day and Issei's peerage along with Rias and her peerage were in battle stances facing Issei who was also in a battle stance, they all stood there not wanting to make a move but Yuuto was the first to attack he went straight for Issei with sword in hand, Issei was about to deliver an uppercut to when Yuuto immediately changed direction and went left, Issei was looking at his movements when a barrier created by Asia covered him, he looked through the barrier and saw Koneko and Kalawarner ready to attack at the same time, when Asia dropped the barrier around him a flurry of kicks and punches assaulted him, he smiled at the two Rooks that bombarded him, he was blocking them with precision, then Kalawarner jumped back and throw a light spear at his feet, Koneko saw this and jumped out of the way.

Yuuto saw that Issei jumped backwards away from the exploding light spear and used this as his time to attack, Issei landed and duck before Yuuto's sword connected with his head, Issei then proceeded to sweep Yuuto's leg, Yuuto fell on his back and did a back-flip as he saw a fist coming straight at him, right after missing the punch to Yuuto Issie started moving left and right dodging lightning strikes from Akeno and the power of destruction fired by Rias, he was about to jump into the air when he felt his feet trapped he looked down and saw his feet partially buried in the ground, he looked at the source and saw Mittelt using her earth magic to trap him.

Kalawarner and Raynare used this opportunity to combine their wind and water magic to attack Issei with a whirlwind of wind and water, after Issei broke out of the trap he used his fireball to diffuse the whirlwind, he then sent his dragon inferno towards them, Asia placed a barrier around them and and started the healing process, Issei was proud that his peerage was using there training in the sparring.

Issei decided to end this mock battle without injuring them to harshly, Vortex Flames" as he said that a whirlwind of flames left the palm of his and headed straight towards Rias and her peerage along with Issei's peerage, they all watched as a flaming whirlwind headed straight towards them and growing bigger as it got closer, they felt the heat all around them as they got swept up in Issei's attack, suddenly they were falling to the ground, as they all landed they looked up and saw Issei staring down at them.

"Well done you all improved greatly" he told them.

When they stood up Asia began healing them, after they all healed up and rested they they were now having dinner, "I think we've done all the training we can" Rias spoke up during dinner.

"Yes everyone improved greatly" Issei replied

"We can return tomorrow since we don't have anything else to do"

"Yes" everyone agreed with Rias

That night everyone teleported back to their various homes.

It was the two days before the match and Issei, Raynare, Kalawarner, Mittelt, and Asia was currently walking to school an hour before other students, the only students at the school were students who had club activities early in the morning, they entered the ORC clubroom and was greeted to a warm cup of tea offered by Akeno, Koneko was eating snacks out of one of the bags Issei bought her, Yuuto like usual was standing at the window.

As the school day started they all went to their classes and Kalawarner went to the nurses office.

"Hey Asia how was the trip with your club, did you make any progress" a girl with glasses and long braided brown hair asked while adjusting her glasses on her face, the other students were listening to hear what happened during the time the ORC was away.

"Aika yes we all had fun"

"Well I'll tell you something we Japanese call skinship", Aika told her before whispering the rest of the conversation in her ear.

The other girls went to Yuuma who wasn't oblivious to what they were trying to get Asia to reveal,

"Yuuma did anything interesting happen with Hyoudou or Kiba during your trip" one of her classmates asked,

She put on a sinister grin before talking to the girls that gathered around her desk, "well Yuuto and Issei shared a room, so I don't know what they did when they were alone at night" the girls started imagining a relationship between Issei and Yuuto wondering who was the pitcher and who was the catcher, the boys were smiling in and hoping that they were both gay leaving more chances for them to get a girlfriend at the school, then Yuuma added more oil to the fire, "also Rias took a bath with Issei and washed his back".

Everyone was shocked and surprised when they heard that but the perverted duo anger went up a notch, "I can't believe you took all the girls in the ORC away just to sex them up" Matsuda yelled at him,

"Yea we just hope that you and Kiba are really gay for each other" Motohama sneered

Issei just ignored them and waited for the teacher to arrive and the day continued on uneventful.

(Occult Research Club)

It was the night of the match and Issei was sitting in the clubroom with everyone else, he was wearing a pair of blue jeans with a red t-shirt and a black leather jacket with a dragon motif on the back, with black boots, he also brought a second set of clothes which everyone was curious about, Yuuto had offered a sword to him but he refused and said he preferred hand to hand other than using a sword, it was 5 minutes before midnight when Grayfia appeared in the clubroom.

"Issei Hyoudou are ready for your battle" she asked him

"Yes whenever your ready"

"Before we depart I have to tell you that this match will be viewed by both houses, Sirzechs Lucifer will also be watching"

"My brother will be watching" Rias shouted, "I see he wants to see fight that will determined my fate" she said solemnly

"Step unto this magic circle and it will take you directly to the battlefield" she said while pointing towards a magic circle next to her.

After Issei emerged from Grafyia's magic circle he looked around and saw he was alone in the clubroom, before he could say anything he heard Grayfia's voice over what sounded like a loudspeaker.

"Hello everyone I am Grayfia, a maid from the House of Gremory and today I will be the arbiter of the Rating match between the House of Gremory and the House of Phoenix"

"In the name of my master Sirzechs Lucifer, I will be keeping my eye on this match, by using both Rias sama and Raiser sama's opinion, we created this battlefield which is a replica of the school, Kuoh academy, which Rias sama attends to in the human world"

"Just like the matches I viewed of him, he's trying to give me an advantage then try to completely crush me, that will be his downfall" Issei thought to himself

Issei looked out the window looked out the window a saw that he was in a devil made dimension

"The location where both teams were transported will be their base Issei Hyoudou base would be the Occult Research Cub's clubroom located in the old school building, Raiser sama's base would be the Student Council's room located in the new building, for the Pawns to use promotion please head to the enemy's base to do it".

"I guess his Pawns will promote if they get into this building"

"Now it's the time for the commencement of the battle, also this match will continue till dawn in the humans time, so Game starts now"

RING RING

The school bell rings to this is the ring to signify the start of the match.

"Looks like this, my first Rating Game, time to rampage".

Issei looked out his window and sensed three devils getting close to his base, he jumped out the window and met them in the woods close to his base, he looked at them and saw his three pawns Marion, Burent and Shuriya, the pawns flinch when he suddenly appeared in-front of them.

"Can you girls of Raiser's peerage quit I don't want to hit any of you" he asked them

"Sorry we cannot fail Raiser sama, but if you quit and become Raiser sama servant, we'll be sure to pleasure you" Shuriya told him

"No can do" Issei said shrugging his shoulders

He then went for Burent, when he got within her reach he did a front flip kick knocking her in the air he then jumped up grabbed her by her feet then threw her at Marion knocking both of them on the ground went for Shuriya with a flying kick, as they were getting up he was leaving the area and dropped a fireball in the middle of them.

The three pawns just look at the fireball before it exploded.

"Raiser sama three pawns retired" Issei heard as he headed to the gym where he sensed four more of Raiser's peerage.

As he entered the gymnasium the lights slowly came on and Issei saw Mira, Ile, Nel and Xuelan standing there waiting for him.

"Not bad defeating the first three but I will regain the disgrace you gave me when we first met" Mira told him pointing her staff at him, "I guess we have to do this the hard way" he said as he pounded his right fist into his left palm.

When he said that Ile and Nel rushed at him "chop chop time" they yelled with chainsaws aimed at him, what they saw shocked all of them he took of the jacket he was wearing and threw it on the ground then his lower arms started to turn into an arm that resembled a dragon, it was crimson in nature and with three black spikes running along the forearms, he grabbed both chainsaws in each hand and threw the girls back, he then headed towards Xuelan and grabbed her by the throat and brought his knee into her stomach, he then jumped back as Mira brought her staff in a downward motion trying to get a hit on him

she began twirling her staff around her body and then her neck trying to hit him in the head, he grabbed the staff and broke it in half throwing the half he had in his hand towards Xuelan head knocking her out, Mira discarded her broken staff and started using hand to hand combat on him, as he was blocking her attacks Ile and Nel came at him from the behind Mira saw Issei smile and dodged to his right.

"Vortex flame" he shouted as whirlwind of flames rampaged around the gymnasium, Issei watch his attack toss the four devil girls around destroying the gymnasium in the process, Issei walked out the gym as it started to fall apart slowly.

"Raiser sama three Pawns, one Rook retired"

He then looked up and saw Yubelluna preparing an attack he flew up in the air in-front of her.

"What are you doing away from your king" he asked her

"I was gonna hit you with a surprise attack as you walked away from your small victory" she said with a smile, then she pointed her staff at Issei and an explosion was heard, she smiled as she thought she destroyed her prey but was surprised when she didn't hear that he was retired.

As the smoke cleared she looked on in shock as Issei stood in-front her with his arms on fire, he rushed at her with a fire fisted uppercut across her chest, she then looked down at saw the injury she took out a small vial and poured what appeared to be water on the wound.

"This is Phoenix tears, with this Raiser sama's peerage can heal from any wound or injury, we don't have the regeneration ability like our King, but this is the second best thing" she told him

"I see" Issei said before punching her straight in the stomach leaving a smoking wound where he punched her, she looked down with fear in her eyes as she started to fade away before calling out Raiser's name.

"Raiser sama Queen retired"

(Kuoh Academy)

Rias and her peerage along with the girls from Issei's peerage were currently watching the match between Issei and Raiser along with Sona and her Queen Tsubaki, they all looked on at the skill he displayed during the match, Rias was on the edge of her seat when he went face to face with the bomb queen but sighed a breath of relief when he came out of her attack unharmed and smiled along with his peerage who was watching in awe at the display of power their master showed.

(Underworld)

Lord and Lady Gremory along with Lord and Lady Phenex was also watching the match and sitting in a seat behind them were two leaders of devil society, Sirzechs Lucifer and Ajuka Beelzebub, Ajuka was watching the match at the request of Sirzechs.

"So Ajuka have you figure out what he really is" Sirzechs asked his friend

"Yes I've been analyzing him since the he stepped onto the game field" he replied to Sirzechs

"Care to tell us what he really is I have my suspicions but I wanted you to confirm it"

"I do but it will be more surprising to the three factions when and if he reveal his full identity" Ajuka told them with a devilish smirk

"Well he is indeed very powerful, and your daughter has allied herself with a powerful friend Lord Gremory" Lord Phenex said out-loud

"Thank you for your compliment, I just hope he can deliver what he promised our daughter" Lady Gremory replied.

(Back at the match)

Issei was currently walking towards the track and field towards the remaining members of Raiser's peerage, as he came upon there location he heard a voice of young girl that he recognized as Raiser's sister turned Bishop.

"You did well getting here, you even defeated Yubelluna I'll have to ask her how did she lose against someone like you, but I'm afraid this is where you will fall" she teased

"She got defeated because I'm stronger than her" when he said that Ni and Li started assaulting him with hand to hand combat, he wanted nothing more to end this match quickly just as he was about to punch Li, Mihae interrupted with a magic attack Issei smiled and threw a fireball at her telling her to catch, Mihae didn't catch the fireball she just let it drop at her feet thinking it was nothing more than a distraction she was about to move from the fireball and resume her attack when it exploded retiring her from the match.

"Raiser sama one Bishop Retired"

The remaining girls were surprised they never seen an attack like that not even from their bomb queen, Ni and Li resumed their attack on Issei he blocked a punch and grabbed Ni holding her from behind, Li was still in the middle of her attack and didn't stop the punch she was sending towards Issei, Issei placed Ni in the path of her sister's punch which knocked her out, Li couldn't believe she just knocked out her sister caught up in despair didn't see when Issei got behind her and chopped her in the back of her neck knocking her out as-well.

"Raiser sama two Pawns retired"

The Knights looked on as Issei defeated their fellow devil companions readying their swords for battle.

"I wanted to cross swords with the Knight of Rias Gremory but it looks like I will be satisfied with a battle against you, I only wish you had a sword so we can have a proper duel" Karlamine told him as she drew her sword

"Don't worry you'll fall at the blade of a sword you have my word on that" Issei told her

"And here I thought only Knights talked about swords now this known talks about them as-well, hurry and defeat him so my brother can have his bride and he can be my plaything" Ravel shouted.

The Knights began encircling around Issei as he took a battle stance in-between them, Siris came dashing in bringing her sword in an upward slash at his feet, Issei jump backwards and Karlamine was waiting for him to land she had her sword at the ready above her shoulders, when she moved her sword to attack Issei used the palm of his hand to push of the sword and landing behind her stealing her dagger in the process.

"How dare you take my dagger,you shall pay for that you fiend" she shouted at him

Issei used the stolen dagger to block the sword attacks when Siris came in for the attack he sidestepped and stabbed her in the abdomen.

"Raiser sama one Knight Retire"

Karlamine was now weary of her opponent she didn't dare make the wrong move, Issei saw that she was stalling not daring to attack so he made the move, Karlamine saw him coming straight at her, she then enveloped her sword with fire preparing for his attack, she saw the blade coming towards he chest she put up her sword to guard her chest, Issei just grabbed her hands headbutted her and kneed her in the stomach, her sword dropped as she fell on her knees holding her stomach in pain.

Issei picked up her sword before teasing her, "I told you you'll be defeated with a sword"

"You'll defeat me using my own blade that will be a dishonour on my name of a Knight" she said while glaring at him

"Then Retire" he told her

"Fine I retire"

"Raiser sama one Knight retire"

Issei dropped the sword and started walking toward the last two of Raiser's peerage.

"Lady Ravel stand behind me" Isabela told her

Isabela stood in-front of Ravel preparing to fight Issei, Ravel was surprised when she saw Isabela dropped on the ground and disappeared in a white light.

"Raiser sama Rook retires"

Ravel started to walk backwards out of fear,

"Don't worry I can tell you can't defeat me don't get in my way and I won't hurt you" he told her, she nodded as she watched him passed her to meet her brother in the final fight.

Raiser stood atop the new school building waiting with raging fist of fire,

"How can one man defeat my entire peerage, I will crush him and watch as I make his servants my own along with my new bride" he told himself waiting for Issei to arrive.

Issei looked and watch as his opponent was flaring his him in anger,

"So the one that is trying to usurp my claim on Rias has made it this far" Raiser said speaking with disgust in his tone,

"Yea I'm just repaying all that she has done for me, and since it's obvious she don't like you, I'll help her regain the right to choose the one she wants to marry" Issei told him with an emotionless expression.

Raiser's flames flared even more in anger as he started throwing fire magic at him, but saw his attacks not having any effect on him.

"Didn't I tell you that your flames won't scratch my scales"

"I see your a dragon immune to flames, then I will defeat you by beating you to pulp"

"Raiser do you know how to defeat the immortal Phoenix bird" Issei asked, Raiser just raised an eyebrow wondering where he's going with this topic.

"There are two ways you can defeat it, one is to beat it down with incredible power and the other one is to keep on taking him down until it's mind crushes" he told Raiser while getting in a battle stance, "the first method requires the strength of a God-class,the second one is to save our stamina until the mind is crushed, even if his body is immortal where he can resurrect his body many times, his mind isn't immortal" Raiser took a step back upon hearing that, "and since I don't want to waste time fighting until you get tired I'll go with the first option".

Raiser knew that what he said was right and only the Satan class devils had that amount of power.

"You think just cause you defeated my peerage a dragon like you can defeat an Immortal" he shouted with a triumphant voice.

Issei immediately went a punched him in the face, Raiser didn't even see him move but felt the fist knocking him in the air backwards, Raiser then saw Issei over his floating body and gave him a wink before punching him in the gut sending him through the roof of the building destroying it.

Ravel looked on she never saw anyone beat her brother so bad she was both amazed and frightened not knowing whether to help her brother or stay away from the dragon hybrid.

Raiser shot up from the rubble of the partially destroyed roof as flames starting healing his wounds, he released his wings of fire and started moving towards Issei, Issei went withing his reach and gave him a uppercut, Issei then grabbed his feet and throw him down at the sports court, Raiser felt blood trickling down his face and saw Issei walking towards the crater he was in.

"I don't understand why are you helping her, if you want help with anything retire and I'll help you with anything, I'll even take back my claim on making you and your servants part of the wager" he told him "I'll even give you anything you want women power anything"

"You really think I want anything from you" Issei stated as he walked towards Raiser, "I told you that I'll defeat you with God-class power" after Issei said that he showed only his devil and dragon wings nine one each side, Raiser never saw that amount wings on anyone before he new he was outclassed and still put on a brave front.

"Retire Raiser save what little pride you have left, I don't want to completely destroy you" he shouted at Issei

Raiser flew at Issei trying to land a punch or a kick on him, Issei blocked all of them and gave him a kick in the stomach sending him to his knees in pain.

"Why do so much just to repay a simple deal made between you and her" Raiser yelled slamming a fist in the ground.

"Because of my father" he started with a forlorn look on his face "my father died from a light spear protecting Lady Gremory during the Great War, and if Lady Gremory had died then Rias wouldn't had been born, so I will protect her and her happiness the way my Father protected her mother, my name is Issei Hyoudou Vashtanari son of Maracai Vashtanari a low born born servant to the House of Gremory" he told Raiser.

(Underworld)

The ones watching the match was in shock and surprised as they heard Issei's claim but no-one was more surprised as Lady Gremory.

"I was told he didn't have any children and the only on left alive was his mother" Lady Gremory said in a shock tone,

"You mean the one we gave a mansion and servants in our territory as gratitude for what her son did" Lord Gremory asked his wife

"Yes but she said he didn't have any children and the only one of their bloodline left is her and her granddaughter"

"She will be surprised to learn that she also has a grandson" Sirzechs told them looking at the match

"Yes and a powerful one at that" Lord Gremory stated

(The match)

Raiser couldn't believe what he heard, his opponent has the blood of a low born devil, he thought he was getting defeated by someone of high class, but he was stunned when he heard that he was a low born.

"You told me to save what little pride I have, my pride will not let me lose, my pride will let me have Rias and my pride will show you that I'm more powerful than you", he started shouting, "I am Raiser Phenex from the House of Phenex that control the fire and wind, you claim my fire can't scratch your scales, how about the hellfire of the Phenex clan" he raged as he emitted a yellow orange flame from his body.

Issei sighed as he heard Raiser's rant his body then started to glow in a crimson hue, his skin started to cover itself in crimson scales, his body begin to grow in size, after the glow disappeared what stood in-front of Raiser was a 25 meter tall dragon staring at Raiser.

"Last chance Raiser retire" Issei growled at him

"NEVER" Raiser shouted getting ready to attack him with his flaming fist.

"Dragons Roar" Issei bellowed while sending a powerful roar at Raiser sending him in the air and spinning out of balance, Issei grabbed his foot in-between his teeth, he tossed about in-between his teeth and spit him onto the ground.

Raiser was struggling to get on his feet his regeneration wasn't acting as fast as it normally would, he had cuts and was bleeding all over, his body broken, his mind held fear, fear of the dragon that stood in-front of him he was losing consciousness, he saw the dragon open it's mouth at him but then someone stood in-front of him.

Ravel stood in-front of Issei in his dragon form with her arms outstrecth trying to stop Issei from devouring her brother.

"Please my brother can't fight anymore, don't hurt him anymore you win we retire" she said with fear and tears in her eyes.

Issei saw her protecting her fire and started devolve from his dragon form to his human form as he walked towards Ravel And Raiser.

Ravel saw him getting smaller and smaller until he stood in-front of her in his human form the fear and tears left her face as she was blushing and close her eyes as Issei stood in-front of her naked.

"Well you guys heard her, do I win or do I have to destroy Raiser" he shouted at the sky then heard Grayfia's voice ending the match.

"The house of Phenex forfeit this match, Issei Hyoudou is the winner"

The battlefield was slowly disappearing around them as they were teleported out, Issei stood in-front of his peerage along with Rias and her Peerage and Sona and Tsubaki when he arrived back at the ORC clubroom.

All the girls were blushing as they saw Issei standing there naked, Rias was the only one who looked like she was about to drool, they all fell out of their stupor when he spoke up.

"Can I have the extra clothes I brought, that dragon form always tear up the clothes I wear" he stated, Asia was the one that brought his clothes to him while blushing and trying to avoid looking at his body, Issei took the clothes from her and used one of the rooms behind Rias's desk to change.

Issei came out the room in the extra clothes he brought soon as he closed the door Rias jumped on him giving him a hug, "Issei I don't know what to say to thank you" she smiled with tears in her eyes holding onto him.

"I can't believe how strong and big Issei is", Akeno said licking her fingers, "seeing you fight, I wanted you to handle me the way you handle those girls" she told him sadistically, Issei just smiled at her comment.

They were all talking about about Issei's fight with Raiser and Rias asked him about what he said during the battle.

"Ise is what you said during the battle about your father true" she asked him

"Yes my father died while protecting your mother"

"I'm sure my mother and father would like to meet you"

"That's fine whenever there ready they can meet me at my house" he told her smiling, "It's been a long night how about we call it a night".

(Underworld)

"To bad about this marriage I guess our greed got the better of us, to think my duaghter had a friend like him to fight for her" Lord Gremory stood on a balcony talking to Lord Phenex

"Yes we both already have heirs to our name, we just wanted to see a child born with the power of destruction and the powers of Phoenix" Lord Phenex told him

"Indeed even if his father was a low born servant, to think his child was that powerful"

"Does the boy have any living relative"

"Yes a grandmother and cousin living in a mansion my wife gave them"

"I'm guessing they don't know about him"

"No my wife will be informing them tomorrow" Lord Gremory paused before continuing, "to think my daughter has fallen for a dragon"

"Your daughter isn't the only one who fell for a dragon, I can tell my daughter was infatuated with him as-well" Lord Phenex told him

"Well you know what they say about a dragons attraction" Lord Gremory stated

"Yes but the question is will he attract good luck or bad luck" Lord Phenex said taking a sip of wine from his glass.
