Inside Mansion

Issei whimpered as he held the ice pack to his lower right jaw and cheek, Yusei had walked in on him, just after he had blown Rias clothes away with his new powers. When he had seen Akeno with nothing on, he had put two and two together and had given him a left hook right to the face. So here he was nursing his injuries while Yusei was being held down by Koneko, well if you count the little first year sitting on Yusei lap eating an ice cream, as holding him down. Akeno, Rias and Asia had gotten dressed and now everyone was arguing. However soon Rias had enough.

"Okay, that's quite enough from everyone. Now Issei and I am happy that you have discovered your new power, even if it a little creepy, but you're not allowed to use them on anyone in my household is that understood. Yusei I know you were upset, and I don't blame you for hitting Issei, but that's the end of it okay. We're all a team in this and we need to start acting like one."

Yusei frowned over at Issei, he was not happy, he had told Issei a number of times that Akeno was off limits and he goes and uses his new power to blow all her clothes off. Yusei felt Akeno wrap her arms around him from behind. He then felt a soft kiss on his cheek.

"It was an accident Yusei," She then whispered, "But If you want another look, I will be happy to show you tonight." Akeno then kissed him again.

Yusei felt a lot better hearing that, however something was puzzling him, this had been the second time Koneko had sat on his lap, and she seemed quite content just sitting there eating her ice cream. Unfortunately Yusei was a boy, and a certain part of his body was reacting. He suddenly noticed Akeno leaned over and whispered in his ear again.

"What's the matter Yusei, little Koneko turning you on. She does look cute like that doesn't she, and I am sure a certain part of you is more than happy with her sitting on your lap."

Yusei eyes widened, and his cheeks suddenly blushed, much to the amusement of his girlfriend. What on earth was Akeno suggesting, she knew that he only had eyes for her. Sure Koneko was cute, but he wasn't interested in her like that, his body was just having a natural reaction to a cute girl, in a small skirt, wearing white panties with little strawberries over them. The skirt was so short, it was hard not to notice what panties the girl was wearing. Yusei noticed Koneko turned her head and looked at him, however there was no 'pervert' comment like she usually accused Issei of, but just a neutral expression. The little moment was interrupted by Rias talking again.

"So can we put all this behind us, and continue with this weekend. We still have a lot to get through and Issei and Asia are no where near ready. Yusei, why don't you take Issei and see if you can help him with his Sacred Gear, you have already mastered Balance Breaker, and maybe you could teach Issei to do it too."

Yusei grinned, he looked across to see Issei eyes widened. This was going to be a lot of fun.

Day Of The Rating Game

Yusei had been true to his word, he had more than put Issei through his paces at the retreat, he had used him as personal target practice to improve his agility and reflexes, and his personal punching bag to help Issei learn to defend himself in hand to hand combat. Of course he had hit a little harder then usually did, but he felt Issei needed an extra lesson, in not to touch or look at things that were not his to touch or look at. After the weekend training, Yusei had kept up with the training regime by forcing Issei, on morning runs, and putting him through various exercises. These were to improve his whole upper body strength, it would also improve his stamina. Of course Issei had fought all the way, but a few threats here and there had soon got Issei following orders. Yusei wasn't going to take any crap from his friend, Issei was already on thin ice. After few days of moaning Issei began to respond to training, and now he keeping up with Yusei in their morning runs. His reflexes had also improved, than again, when you got your friend aiming lightning bolts at you, it pays to be able to dodge. Now though it was the big day of the rating game. The event was to take place in the underworld, where many of the residents would be watching. Due to special permission by Rias brother, Yusei was also permitted to travel there, and take part in the game as one of Rias pawns. Yusei and the other sat quietly while Rias was going through the game plan.

"Okay I have just heard back from my brother. Riser is so confident that he will win, that he as allowed us to choose the battle field, so I decided a replica of this academy, including all its grounds and outside buildings. Now Riser will be in the main school building, while our base will be the old school building, both the gym and the sports field will be neutral, so our first job is to take both positions. Once we get both, then we can think about taking out Riser. Asia as our healer you will be stationed with me, Akeno you will go after the queen, no doubt she will be close to Riser. Kiba, Koneko, you have the sports field, Issei and Yusei will take the gym. Once you have taken one area, move to the next to give support to our other team members. I will be floating around here and there doing what I can. Should anything happened to Akeno then Yusei, you will step in, as I believe your Trinity Gear will be useful in this battle. There is one important thing I did forget to mention, House Phenex is not just named after the legendary bird of re-birth, but the family members also have the ability of a phoenix, which means fire and regeneration capabilities. Luckily only the household has this ability so the servants should be easy to take down." Riser was interrupted by a magical circle of the Gremory household appearing.

"Rias it is time, is your team ready to face Riser?" Grayfia was dressed in her usual black and white maid attire.

Rias stood from her desk, and everyone soon followed. "Yes we are sister." Rias then lead her team towards Grayfia who expanded the magical circle to transport everyone, however before she did she handed something to Yusei, it was some type of pendent. "That will allow you to enter the underworld, as you are only human, in normal circumstances you wouldn't be able to make this journey alive, but that pendent gives you special permission to do so. Now if you're all ready I will transport you to the battle ground." Grayfia then closed her eyes and everyone vanished from the Club room.

Battle field Gym

Yusei and Issei made their way towards the gym, the tension between the two was still thick, however Issei wanted to change all that.

"Look Yusei, I know what I did was wrong, but it was an accident. I didn't mean to blow Akeno clothes off, you have to believe me." Issei noticed Yusei stopped walking and then turned towards his friend.

"You choose now, at a time like this to apologise, You've had all week to apologise and only now, when Rias future is on the line do you apologise. I don't have time for this, let get to that gym and clear it out."

Yusei pushed open the door and was stunned with what greeted them. Four girls two were dressed in white t-shirts and blue gym shorts, both looked identical, however it wasn't their looks that Yusei was drawn too, but what they were holding, were those chainsaws. The other two girls seemed a lot older, one was dressed similar to Chung Li from street fighter the other was dressed in red kimono and was holding a long wooden staff.

"Well, well girls look what we got here, two boys to play with, allow me to make the introductions. My name is Xuelan, I am Lord Riser mighty Rook, nothing get past me. Beside me are Ile and Nel, two of Riser pawns and the girl at the end is a recent addition. Her name is Mira, she is also a pawn. Now that the introductions are out of the way, let get down to business. You two need to disappear now!" All four girls then stood in fighting stances, the twins had also started up their chainsaws.

Yusei looked to Issei, "The pawns are yours, leave that Rook to me." Yusei then raised his arm into the air and shouted. "Trinity Gear activate!"

Yusei Sacred Gear appeared and the jewel glowed. He then stalked towards the Rook who had been surprised to see the Sacred Gear. Yusei grinned. "The only one vanishing will be you. "Thunder Dragon Armour!"

Yusei Gauntlet jewel glowed and from it a red blast of energy left it. The energy then began to wrap around the body of Yusei, it took on the form of a dragon. With his electrical powers covering his entire body, he charged towards the Rook.

Issei just look on, why couldn't he do that? However his attention was suddenly drawn to all three of the pawns circling him. Yusei growled and his own Sacred Gear appear, he then began to run, causing all three pawns to chase him. He needed time to boost his gear, so he could use his new power.

"Look girls this one a wimp, he's running from three girls, what type of man his he." Issei growled the bitches were taking the mick however Issei had no choice he needed his gear to boost.

[Boost]

That was one, he needed at least three before he could unleash his ultimate attack, he had even given it a name. 'Dress break' The idea was that the girls would be so embarrassed with losing all their clothes that they wouldn't be able to stop Issei and his attacks afterwards. Not only that but Issei got to look a naked girls, which was well worth it."

[Boost]

That was the second one. Issei looked across the gym and watched as Yusei and Riser's Rook were fighting hand to hand. The Rook was having trouble grabbing hold of Yusei due to his thunder armour. Issei then heard the sound he had been waiting for.

[Boost]

Issei stopped and then turned directions he ducked under Mira Staff and slapped her on the back, unbalancing her. A small red seal of the Gremory household appeared on her clothes. That was one, now for the rest. Issei used his training to dodge and duck away from the twins and their chainsaws.

"Stay still you blasted kid, accept your punishment." Issei blinked Kid! He was older then these two, Issei managed to get in between the two of them and slapped one on the shoulder, they other had been bending over, so for good measure had slapped her hard on the arse."

"You fucking Pervert, how dare you slap me on my arse, only Riser is allowed to touch me." Issei cringed, really, the two look like they were still in elementary school, Issei impression of Riser, just hit an all time low. He jumped away from the three pawns who were now charging towards him. Issei smiled and turned.

"Call me a pervert will you, well you haven't seen anything yet." Issei then held up his gauntlet hand and clicked his fingers grinning. "Behold my ultimate move Dress break!"

Soon as the fingers clicked two things happened. One there were three loud screams from the girls, and two every piece of their clothing was blown away, just leaving three very embarrassed looking Pawns trying to hide their important parts from Issei eyes.

Yusei was sweating this Rook was strong, she was matching him for every punch and kick, Yusei didn't want to bust out the balance Breaker just yet, just then he heard his friend shout out "Dress Break!" Yusei looked across and his eyes widened as he watched the three girls lose all their clothes. This was the first time he had seen Issei use the ability on purpose. Yusei felt sorry for the three girls his friend was truly a first class pervert, however the screaming of the girls had also drawn the eyes of the Rook, who also looked shocked. Yusei used this to his advantage by grabbing hold of the Rook arms, he then swept her legs causing the girls to fall. He quickly grabbed both legs and lifted them, he then use his strength to turn the girl onto her front and crouched over her back, pulling her legs back as far as he could. "Do you Yield!" Yusei heard the Rook cry out in pain, he then heard her.

"I yield!" Yusei broke the hold and watched as the girl suddenly vanished in light particles a loud voice over the tennoy was then heard.

"One of Lord Riser Rook retired"

Yusei looked across the gym and was just in time to see all three girls vanish after being hit by Issei dragon booster attack. He then heard the voice once more.

"Three of Lord Riser Pawns retired"

Yusei seeing they had taken the gym, spoke into a small red circles that appeared beside his ear. "Gym taken Rias, moving to sports field to support Kiba and Koneko."

"Good job you two, that was quicker than I expected. I am trying to find Riser with Asia, Akeno has intercepted Riser queen. Head to the sports field."

Yusei looked across to Issei. "Rias says we have to get to the sports field to support Kiba and Koneko, come lets go."

Sports field

Kiba growled as he was locking blades with Riser Knight, Koneko was busy taking on the other Rook, they were completely outnumbered, there were five pawns and two bishops and another knight. It seems Riser didn't want to lose this field. Kiba parried another strike, this girl was good, he might have to bust out his own Sacred Gear.

Riser knight smiled as she locked blades once more. "You're good, it's shame I have to destroy something so cute." Kiba pushed with all his might, breaking the knights guard, he then raised his sword up in the air, point facing down. He then slammed it into the ground and cried out.

"Sword Birth!"

The ground suddenly erupted and dozens and dozens of blades appeared around him. The sudden Sacred Gear appearance had caused Riser knight to go on the back foot. Kiba pulled two blades from the earth one was surrounded by an aura of fire, and the other was surrounded by an aura of Ice.

"Defend yourself against this!" Kiba then wielded both blades towards the knight, who was now panicking. However a sudden burst of magic from one of the bishop stopped Kiba in his tracks. Great just when he got the upper hand, the Bishops decided to attack. Kiba wondered where Issei and Yusei was, however he turned and heard a scream, as Koneko fell. Kiba noticed Riser Rook was laughing as she straddling Koneko and punching her hard all over her body. However no one could predict what happened next.

"You fucking bitch, get away from her!" Kiba looked on stunned as Yusei had appeared from no where and used his Thunder armour, to slam hard into the Rook causing her to fly into the trunk of a nearby tree.

Yusei knelt down beside Koneko and noticed some of her clothes were ripped, he could also see bruise and cuts on her body. Yusei cradled in her his arms. "Koneko you okay?" He noticed the little first year smiled weakly, and then she closed her eyes and vanished in particles of light.

"One of Lady Rias Rook retired"

Yusei stood from his spot, he then looked to see the Rook had recovered, his eyes narrowed, he knew this was game, but for her to beat Koneko so bad, it was unforgivable. She was only a first year and this Rook was a fully grown woman, Yusei cried out. This bitch was going to pay. Forget the Thunder armour, this bitch needed a real lesson.

"Sky Dragon Balance Breaker!"

Yusei armour began to slide all over his body until he was covered from head to toe in red and black armour. Yusei focused and energy began to form in his gauntlet hand. The lightning suddenly took the form of a whip. Yusei cracked it, and heard the whip crackle. He then swung it over his head. He the aimed the whip towards the Rook leg, which got caught up. He then yanked it back hard and watched as the woman was sent crashing to the floor. He then pulled on the whip and watched as the rook flew towards him. His gauntlet hand was already prepared, the moment the rook entered his space, he slammed the dragon gauntlet arm into the woman stomach, causing her to cry out and blood to be spat from her mouth.

"You'll pay for what you did to Koneko, she's only a first year and you beat her black and blue." Yusei then used his fist to punch the Rook in the stomach over and over again, until the body slumped. Yusei then flang her across the field and watched as she laid on the ground motionless. Her body suddenly vanished and Yusei heard a woman voice.

"One of Lord Rooks retired"

Yusei looked over and noticed Kiba was being bothered by a bombardment of spells from the two Bishops which was causing him to lose ground against the other knight. Yusei growled, his wings suddenly extended and flew high up into the air.

"Slifer use your judgement to destroy my enemies!"

Yusei then sent a streak of light into the clouds above. The sky suddenly darkened, and the sky lit up with yellow and black, several bolts of lightning left the cloud and hit one of the bishop, the other had jumped out of the way. Yusei watched as the one who had been hit, vanished into light particles, just leaving one bishop left.

"One of Lord Riser Bishops retired"

Yusei charged downwards towards the remaining Bishop, and then landed. He noticed she looked to be around eleven years old, she was dressed in a red evening gown, and her hair was blonde with two drill tip looking pig tails. Yusei really didn't want to beat a child.

"Don't make me do this, surrender, now, I don't attack children."

Ravel Phenex looked at the red armoured foe in front of her, she was scared, she had seen what he had done to the Rook and the other Bishops, however she was the daughter of Lord Phenex, she wasn't allowed to show weakness.

"I don't know who you thing you're taking too, but I am no ordinary little girl, I am Lady Revel Phenex, sister to Riser Phenex and daughter to Lord and Lady Phenex, I surrender to no one!"

Yusei was narrowing his eyes inside the armour, so this spoilt brat was Riser Phenex sister, it was clear the apple didn't fall far from the tree in manners. And attitude.

"Well Lady Phenex, I don't want to hurt you, but I also don't want Rias Gremory marrying your brother, so we are at an impasse. I can see it in your eyes you know you can't defeat me, so why do you not just surrender?"

Ravel narrowed her eyes, and then looked down. "I can't, I am a Phenex, I am not allowed to show weakness, or I will be punished. My brother also said he will remove me from his peerage if I lose here today. So I have no choice but to fight."

Yusei shook his head. "Fine then, don't say I didn't warn you."

Yusei then placed both hands in front of him and focused on producing electrical chains. From both Armoured hands chains of Lightning dispersed and wrapped themselves around the girl, who was about to throw several fire balls towards him. However now that her arms were chained at her side, she couldn't attack.

Meanwhile Issei had seen everything, Yusei was grabbing all the spot light, Issei dodged several fists and rolled back to avoid the remaining knights blade. "Why does he get everything, look at him, not a scratch on him and look at the armours, and those wings, why can't I have something like that."

[Because he has worked hard for it, and his body is ready for the extra power, in the condition you are in, Balance Breaker would kill you. Yusei power also comes from his emotions, and at the minute they are very high, due to what happened to Koneko.]

Issei dodged another swipe, he needed to do something about these Pawns and Knight. He looked over to see Kiba had just finished his foe and the sound of a woman voice was overheard.

"One of Lord Riser Knight retired"

Issei noticed Kiba had now joined him, which even the odds a little but they were still outnumbered. Suddenly Issei emotions got the better of him, he couldn't take being weak, he was the weakest member of this team, when he should have been the strongest. How was he suppose to protect Rias from Riser, when he couldn't even deal with a few pawns. Issei noticed Yusei had dealt with the Bishop who now was vanishing.

"One of Lord Riser Bishops Retired"

"Hey Issei you stay and take care of those pawns with Kiba, I am heading towards Riser and his Queen. Rias might need help and seeing how you're struggling then I guess I will have to help her." Yusei smiled as he watched the emotional change of Issei face, he knew how much Issei cared for Rias, so the little dig, may be enough to boost his emotions into a higher gear.

Issei face changed and he cried out, how dare Yusei save Rias, that was his job, Yusei wasn't even a proper Pawn. Issei looked to the heaven and cried out. He was then suddenly engulfed within a pillar of green light that had shot up towards the heavens. The green energy swirled around him. His Boosted gear was now glowing, suddenly everyone heard.

"Boosted Gear Explosion"

Issei looked to his arms, his gauntlet had changed again. The jewel flashed and a symbol of a dragon appeared in the centre of it. Issei had never felt so much power, suddenly he turned to Kiba. "Kiba use your Sacred Gear and send it right at me!"

Kiba looked on bewildered, was Issei serious? Kiba noticed the look and nodded he then slammed his sword hand into the earth and a fissure of slight zig zagged across the ground towards Issei gauntlet hand which he had now placed on the floor. The fissure of energy was absorbed into the gauntlet. Everyone then heard.

[Transfer!]

Issei cried out and slammed his fist hard into the earth. Suddenly hundreds and hundreds of blades erupted from the ground and began to attack all the pawns and the remaining Knight. Riser Peerage had been completely taken by surprise, and had no time to dodge. Several blades had impaled them all. They all then vanished in particles of light.

"Five of Lord Riser Pawns, one Knight retired"

Yusei smiled, finally Issei had awoken his Sacred Gear, next stage was his balance Breaker form. Yusei attention was suddenly drawn to a loud familiar cry. His eyes widened.

"Akeno!"
