So a further a do, the second to last chapter for the first arch of The Holy Devil Pawn. Please enjoy.

Chapter 12: Heavenly Dragon vs. Phoenix.

The scene is broken and in shambles, pieces of roofing tile broken or missing, smoke rises from the burned ashes or the well lit fires around the roof and buildings. Lying on the roof is a crimson beauty, but she lay in bad shape, ripped and burned clothes and her long crimson hair, singed and messy, like she ran through a forest of fire and barely made it out alive. Floating in the air, a man with wings of fire, wearing a dark red suit, like blood that had been left unclean for a few hours and an evil grin, plastered on his face like a pyromaniac just set a building a blaze. But both of them looking in the same direction.

"Sorry I'm late, Rias. But now it's time to fry some chicken." The man who they are looking at says with a battle crazed tone and a smile to match.

The man has long, light brown hair, that goes to just below his shoulders, un-kept like a tattered mane of an animal. Light brown eyes that shine with a green hew reflected the light of a pile of ashes and small fire in front of him. On his back, wings that are angular and bat like, and on his left arm, a glowing red gauntlet with yellow spikes and two green orbed jewels, on the back of his hand and the other near his elbow, the armor looked alive and scaly, nothing like the rest of him. The grin on his face makes him look as though he could kill at any moment.

"Issei?" Rias looks over to the man gently floating to the edge of the roof. When his feet touch the roof, the bat wings fold up and he walks next to her, glaring at her. All the while, Riser looks in fright at the man who looks different then he last remembered.

"I-Issei?" She asks again, a bit frightened. He walks up, looking down at her.

"Rias..." He says with venom in his voice. "THANK YOU!" Issei's expression completely changes to joy and his evil grin changes to a bright happy smile, as he jumps and hugs her as he falls down. With a surprised smile on her face, Rias catches him and pulls him to her breasts. "Boobs! Oh how I missed you two!" Issei yells into her soft, plump cleavage. He stays like this, moving his head up and down, side to side, taking in the wonder of this event.

"Enough!" Someone yells. Rias changes back to fright as she looks back to the man with the wings of fire. Issei turns his head with a non-amusing looks on his face.

"Riser will not stand for this! That body is about to be Riser's! So you, Brat, don't touch it!" Riser yells as he shoots bright fire from his palm, all hurtling to the man in the boobs.

Issei smiles slightly and lifts his hands, creating a black barrier on his hand to block the fire. Moving his hand quickly to black the fire as they extinguish on contact to with the black spinning shield with ruins of old. "Can I go back to my boob pillow now?" Issei says happily, which makes Rias blush madly. "Hey Rias? Where's Akeno?" Looks up at the red beauty.

Rias looks down at him sadly. "She used herself to block an attack and was taken out of the game."

Issei's eyes widen, but show a sadden looks to them. "You know that both Yuuto and Koneko are out too, right?"

"I do." Getting more sad, a tear forms in her eyes. Issei's smiles leaves as he stands up, leaving the girl confused and surprised. "Issei?"

Issei positions his left palm in front of her and a sphere of black magic circles surround the area around her, making a barrier that she can't pass through, or anything else to get through to her. "Stay here. I'll take care of this guy."

"Issei!?" Rias yells as she stands and punches the barrier. "No! You can't beat him!" Those words fall on deaf ears as he starts to walk away. "No! ISSEI!" Tears form in her eyes as her legs give way and she falls gently. "I don't want to lose anyone else. Please come back to me Issei, please!" tears fall harder.

Turning his head and look at her with his right eye. "I promised you I will get you out of this. Even if it takes me to my death again. I'll set you free." He smiles and looks back to Riser.

[Are you ready, Partner?]

"I'm read Ddraig, but I won't need to use the Boosted Gear." Looks down at his left hand with the gauntlet on it.

Rias looks up at him with wide eyes. "Issei..." She whispers, know what h is about to do.

"How are you talking to, Brat?!" Riser yells getting pissed and flaring he wings.

[Are you sure? You'll be disobeying her.]

"I know. But I want to strike fear in him. And what better way to do that." Issei puts on a winning smile and puts away the Boosted Gear.

"Disarming yourself? Are you insane? You had no chance against Riser in the first places, no you get rid of your only weapon, your dead, Bra..."

*BAM*

Riser looks down at his chest, a large hole replaces where the middle of his chest should be. "AAAHHH! THE HELL!?" He yells in pain. Glancing down at the boy, his arm is extended and a gun points at himself.

"You must be wondering why that hurts does so much."

*BAM* *BAM*

Two more shots fired. And hit their mark on Riser.

"That is because, this is an Exorcists gun...my gun." Issei smiles maniacally as he reveals why the bullets hurt so much.

Riser bends over in pain, trying to get a good look at the man who shot him three times. "Y-you're...an E-Exorcist!?" It's hard to speak.

"Ex-Exorcist, I quit a long time ago, but this is the least of your worries.

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *CLICK* *CLICK*

"AAAHHH!" Riser yells again.

Issei lowers his gun and frowns. "Out of ammo." He throws his gun aside, looking away. As he looks back up to Riser, a ball of fire collides with his face.

"Ha! You think though bullets would harm me for long?! Risers immortal! You can't kill a Phoenix!" Riser starts to laugh profusely, bending backwards and throwing his arms in the air.

As the smoke clears around Issei's face, Riser's laugh dies down, as he straightens himself. "Ouch, that actually stung a bit." A face fades into view as the snake clears, a little burn and scratch marks on his left cheek. "I might just have to get a serious now." Smiling, Issei steps forward with a force that makes a crackling sound on the roof, and releasing an aura that Devils fear.

"What?!" Riser starts to shiver a bit. 'The hell is going on, why do I feel scared.'

Rias shivers as well. "So he's going to show him is true power. I hope things goes will with everyone."

Everyone in the room feels a slight chill down there spine.

"What's going on? That boy just woke up and now he was able to withstand a blast from my son." Lord Phoenix clams.

"That boy sure is interesting." Lord Gremory explains.

"You all felt that right? The cold chill?"

Everyone in the room freezes realizing that what she said was not just their imagination, slowing turning to look at Sona. 'They must have thought they were imagining it.'

"It seems we have. You know what is the cause, don't you." Sirzechs asks with a serious tone.

"I might. It's the feeling a Devil gets when they are near something Holy." She points to the screen focused I Issei. As they look to the screen she was pointing at, theirs eyes open and jaws drop.

"THAT BOY?!" Lord Phoenix yells.

"He's an Angel?" Lord Gremory says with amazement, fright and amazement in his own daughter. 'How did you do it Rias?'

Sirzechs stands up violently and rushes out of the room with Grayfia in his tail.

"You're going to the Arena?" She asks trying to keep up with her masters pace.

"This game has gone too far. I need to take care of this." Sirzechs was about to open a wooden door, when a feminine, but stern voice calls to him from the black shadows in the corner of the hall.

"I suggest you don't go." The voice warns. Turning his head, Sirzechs freezes at the sight of a long, black haired girl, wearing a gothic Lolita outfit, realizing he just saw her on the screen moments ago.

"How?" He asks with fear in his voice. Grayfia doesn't move either, she is too scared to.

"Don't go. He wouldn't like it." The girl says as she steps back into the corner and disappears in a black cloud of darkness and the gain hissing of a snake.

Sirzechs stands in place, and then walks back to the room with everyone else to continue watching the game. 'How did she get from the arena to here in a short time? Who is she!?' Asking himself as he opens the door and looks over to the screen with Issei on it.

Turning his head to the man who delivered the new, "This doesn't go any further then here, close all broadcast channels except the one to this room. No one outside this room shall know of what is about to happen. You hear me?" The man looks in fear at the bothered and serious Devil King.

"Yes Lord Lucifer!" With that, the man runs out of the room.

Lord Gremory looks over to his son. "I haven't seen you like this in a while Sirzechs." Closing his eyes, relaxing back into his chair.

"There is an Angel in the arena with Rias in there. This is an act of war. Why aren't you worried?" Looking to his father, like everyone else.

Lord Gremory opening his eyes again. "That boy, did you see what he did to Rias? And the look she gave him? She deeply cares about him and his does to her. I don't know what exactly happened, but I know that he won't hurt Rias."

"What about Riser? We all see the look on his face! He's beating the crap out of him?!" Lord Phoenix retaliates, by standing up and pacing around.

Lord Gremory looks at him. "Simple. The reason why this Rating Game took place. To keep Rias from marrying him. Obviously the boy doesn't want his master to marry Riser either and will do anything to stop it. Even having the mysterious girl wake him up."

"But what if it isn't just about Rias and Riser?" Grayfia asks.

"Simple again...capture and kill him."

Issei spreads his Devil wings and bends his knees. 'He feels it.' Looking to Riser, who is looking around with his eyes, trying to find what is bothering him.

'What's going on? Why am I so scared?!' Cursing himself for not knowing, he yells, "The hell is going on?!" Bring his hands up to his head, clenching it madly.

Rias looks in horror as the man who almost killed her, is now panicking like a school boy that believes in cooties. Shivering from natural warnings, she wants to move, needs to run away, but she's trapped. To keep herself safe.

Looking at Riser with narrow eyes, Issei spreads his wings further apart and whispers, "For Koneko." A second later, Issei is gone, replaced with the shifting of leaves and dust.

"Eh?" Looking around questionably, Riser fails to notice the man speeding up to him from below. "Below?!" He looks down.

'Too late!' Issei thinks, as his fist impales Risers chin, crushing some of his teeth and breaking his jaw. Pushing away, Issei lands a few yards from Riser in the air.

"Damn." Looking to Riser, he notices his mouth and jaw burning with flames, regenerating and healing him.

Spitting fire, Riser stands up state again. 'I didn't even see him till it was too late.' "You have no idea do you?!"

Issei lessens up a bit and looks to Riser confused. "What?"

Riser smiles, "This marriage it more then what you think. This isn't just between the Phoenix and the Gremory households. It's a matter for all the future pure blooded Devils and the Devils themselves!" Pointing at Issei, Riser's wings flare like a burning sun.

"I don't care." Issei whispers into Risers ear. Riser freezes has someone touches his wings. Looking down, fear fills his thoughts, as Issei was no longer there and has a thought to where he is...behind him.

"For Yuuto." Issei whispers, as he rips a part of Riser's wings off with the sound the crackling of burning wood and the tearing sound from ripping leather.

Riser screams in pain and agony as a part of his body is being brutally, but slow ripped off of him. As the wing is severed completely from Riser, it's tossed away like a piece of paper, as it shrivels up and burns to ashes.

About to start to rip the second one, Riser grabs hold of Issei's clothes and flings him into the nearest tree. "Crap!" Issei's back bleeds as he takes a part of a branch out of his back.

Riser smirks as he knew his injured the boy. "Ha! Unlike you, Riser can heal!" Riser starts to laugh, until he a sense of Holy power catches his attention. Looking down at Issei, the boy had his left hand behind his back, where a light glow what coming from. 'Holy healing magic?!' Riser thought. 'That's it the boy must have been a half Fallen!' Riser smiles as he yells in a winning tone. "Give it up, boy. You can't hide it anymore. Riser knows you're a Fallen Angel." Riser points to Issei. "Spread your wings you Freak!"

Issei looks up to Riser with disappointment as she hops from the tree to be level with Riser. "I guess he has never seen one before." Issei sighs then yells back. "Close, I haven't Fallen, and I never will." Issei forms his Black-Light Spear.

"I knew it. A filthy Fallen has an even lower chance to beat me then a reincarnation!" Riser's smile widens and his face starts to twist into an inhuman look as he slowly slips into madness. His wing slowly grows back as he laughs insanely.

"He can't tell that his body and mind want to run, but his pride is winning." Issei watches in horror as Riser finally snaps.

"I'LL KILL YOU!" Riser yells as he shoots toward Issei, with his fists covered in fire.

'There goes his ego.' Issei thinks as he throws his spear, but Riser catches it and breaks it in half, effortlessly like one would break a twig. Soon, Riser gets close enough to throw punches. Issei dodges, hit a few times. Fed up with the dodging Riser shoots fire from his hand like a flamethrower, burning lines and holes into Issei's shirt. On the roof, Rias blushes.

Riser laughs insanely as he flies in circles around Issei, shooting fire after fire at Issei, who can't move and stands, hopelessly in the air, with his hands covering his face. Or so Riser thinks.

Issei forms a small, Black-Light Spear in his hand, concealing it from Risers view and waits for a moment to strike.

Riser slows down and comes almost to a stop after his onslaught. Tired from using his powers too much in a short amount of time, he isn't prepared for Issei being nearly unfazed and stabs him in the chest with the dagger like spear.

"GAH!" Riser spits blood on Issei's face as the burning light moves up his chest and to his shoulder, slitting him half from the torso up.

Issei grips on Risers arm. "For Akeno." And with one powerful pull, Issei rips Riser left arm off, taking a burning chunk of the chest with him.

Rias's watches in horror as her Pawn mangles her fiancé to pieces, then watching the pieces to grow back, just to rip another piece off. Many times she felt the feeling of vomit come up her throat, but she held it the best she could. She was scared, yet filled with pride and accomplishment that her pawn is able to stand against a Phoenix and can protect her if needed. But what scared her was the change Issei went through as he slept for the one hour. From being a happy, cheerful, lewd boy, to this slightly older and more destructive man that plays with his prey like a toy in a sadistic manor. 'If only Akeno could see this.' She thinks of her best friend gaining please in the fight between a Phoenix and a Sadistic Angel. She is broken from her thoughts as the said man crashes through the roof beside her, covered in flames, like a meteor. Looking up in the air, Riser stands tall with a grin on his face, and half of his torso and his arm growing back from it being ripped off.

"Damn! I though light energy null his regenerative ability. Stupid books." Issei climbs out of the hole.

"Issei?!" Rias's yells slamming her fists on the barrier. "Stop this, you can't win!" Rias continues to yell and persuade him to surrender.

"Shut up!" Issei yells with great force, causing Rias to freeze and stop. "I'm never going to back down. I promised to get you out of this. And I plan on it. I don't care if it means the death of me. Besides, I'd never let a pretty girl like you in the hands of this maniac. So just shut up and let me fight for you, Rias."

Rias looks up to Issei with tears in her eyes. The emotions running through her make her confused and afraid, she never felt this way before. But she knows what she is feeling. The man in front of her, her servant, her friend, her natural opposite, her Issei. She loves him. She loves him with all her heart and body. She blushes as she looks down. "It's not light energy, it's Holy. A phoenix regenerative abilities stop when they are in contact with anything Holy." She looks up at Issei and finds his with a smile on his face. He leans in and reaches through the barrier and pulls her into a hug. Reluctant at first, she hugs him back. His is now about her height and smells of fire and burning wood, but his natural scent calms her. Feels relaxed from the embrace, she whispers, "Please don't die. Come back to us.

Come back to me. I don't want to lose you."

"I promise." Issei breaks the hugs, but is surprised by the sudden loss on his forehead by Rias.

"Go beat him up." She smiles and pushes him out of the barrier.

"Thank you, Rias." Issei smiles.

"Awwwwe! Such a nice moment. I want to barf!" Riser's mad voice interrupts. "Get your hands off her!" He yells again, this time, firing at Issei. Who takes the blast full force. "Hahahaha." Riser watches as his opponent is cremated in his fire, burning to ashes from the intense heat. After the flames die down, Issei is gone, and what is left is a pile of ashes, from the roof shingles.

"Too slow." Issei appears behind Riser with great speed and kicks him to the ground. "You know, I've never honestly introduced myself sense you keep calling me 'boy'." Riser climbs out of the crater on the ground, made by his impact with it. "My name is Issei Hyoudou. One third Dragon, one third Devil, and one third Angel by birth." During his sentence, Issei unfolded and revived his pure white wings and golden halo above his head.

Rias looks on with a smile as her servant revivals his true self. Riser on the other hand, goes into denial. In his whole life until, he has never seem not net and Angel, not known whether to attack like his pride wants to, or run like his instincts yell at him. He flinches when Issei creates a large Black-Light Spear that is as tall as him.

"Kneel." Issei says with a stern voice.

Riser looks to him with fear in his eyes. "Never."

Looming down over the broken bird Issei sighs. "Suit yourself." In a matter of seconds Issei disappears and reappears behind Riser, with a spear of light in hand. The spear changed a little, now with a golden gee with void, black base color. Issei thrusts the spear forward, but misses as Riser moves out of the way quickly. Turning around, Riser through a punch after punch, Issei does the same. Kicking, punching, dodging, repeat. This going on few minutes before they wind up their arms, clench their fists and thrusts them full for into each other's faces. Issei was more powerful and had to cause Riser's face and burst into flames to heal, but on the other side, blood drips from his nose and over his left eye from Risers quick and swift hits. After spreading out a few feet, Riser jumps at Issei as the latter in wiping some blood out of his eye, bad mistake. Suddenly, Riser reaches out his hand and grabs Issei by the throat. Smiling wickedly Riser whispers, "I've had enough of you and your stupid filthy being." He grips harder.

Issei struggles, but manages to get his hand on Risers arm and releases some of his Holy aura, burning Riser. In pain and furious that instead of letting go immediately, he flung Issei to the ground at high speeds hoping to making crash, but failed when the latter fluttered his pure white wings and balanced himself as he gently fell to the ground.

"I'M DONE WITH THIS FIGHT! I'M GOING TO BURN YOU IN THE EVER LASTING HELLFIRE OF THE UNDERWORLD!" In that moment, Risers wings grow to tremendous size and his body slowly gets consumed in an orange, red flame.

"Shit!" Issei senses the growing power that Riser is emitting and finally summons his Boosted Gear back on.

[I thought you weren't going to use me, Partner?] A voice from the red gauntlet speaks in a deep, old and wise fashion.

"Well things happen and this guy is literally turning into fire!" Issei yells back to his left arm.

[Good point.] The voice faded away as quickly as it came.

Looking back up to Riser, Issei's eyes widen in surprise and horror. In the short amount of time Issei was talking with Ddraig, Risers body centers itself in a beast of fire and flames. A gigantic Phoenix hovers over the arena in an elegant fashion. Never has Issei seen something so beautiful and dreadful in his life.

"Looks like I have no choice. This needs to be taken care of quickly." Issei stands up straight and puts out his left arm. "Are you ready Ddraig?" He asks the Red Dragon Emperor.

[Of course I am. I'm not going to let a little bird take down a mighty dragon. Spread your wings far and wide, Issei. This will be a fight for the books. The mighty Heavenly Dragon, The Red Dragon Emperor verses the immortal bird of fire and wind, The Phoenix.]

Issei looks over his shoulder and finds Rias looking down at him from the roof of the Old School Building. "For you, I will even beat God! With this Boosted Gear, and the power given to me by birth! I will make sure I will protect you!" He yells to her. Making her heart race. Looking back to Riser. "Let's do this." A green and gold aura surrounds Issei as he spreads all his Angel and Devil Wings.

"Shine! Over Boost!" Issei yells at the top of his lungs.

[WELSH DRAGON OVER BOOSTER!] Ddraig's voice roars.

"[BALANCE BREAKER: BOOSTED GEAR SCALE-MAIL!]" Both Issei's and Ddraig's voices roar throughout the arena in unison.

Stands of solid energy spew from Issei's body as the gauntlet grows up his arm, each time, releasing more of the green and gold aura. Once reaching his chest, the armor completely covers it, having yellow spikes jutting out and a large green gem in the center of his chest. Then the armor moves down and around his legs and right arm. The right arm matches the left, having three gems, one on the hand and wrist, one on the elbow, and one on the shoulder. Same goes for his legs and feet. One gem near his ankles, one on his knees, and one on each side of his thighs. After his legs are completely covered, an armored like tail forms with a sharp point on its end. Two thrusters like object sprout from his back and grow with green energy. And finally, a helmet forms around Issei's face, having sharp edges and points like the rest of his armor, looking like the head of a red dragon with yellow teeth. All the gems glow green as Issei's power skyrockets his Angle and Devil wings still spread out wide.

Riser's voice is loud, but calm too. "You know, you would have made an excellent prodigy, but you were born a thousand years too late." Riser's wings spread far and wide as her prepares for the final fight.

"We'll see about that." Getting into a battle stance, Issei bends his knees and puts his fist in the air. Pushing off with great strength, Issei flying towards the gigantic bird. Powering his fist with a green energy. Once it collides with the Phoenix, it stops. Issei expected his fist and himself to glide through the flames like nothing, but his whole body stopped like the fire was a solid object. This left Issei open for a strike, which Riser uses and a column of fire forms next to Issei and swats him away. Burning his armor a little.

[The fire of the immortal bird Phoenix can also leave a scratch on the scale of Dragons. It isn't a good idea to continue being hit by at.] Ddraig informs.

"You think that fire can harm me?" Issei yells through the metallic armor. Bringing both of his hands forward and pointing his claws towards Riser, two green balls of energy forms from thin air, one of each hand.

"Take this!" Issei pulls his hands back, the spheres stay in place.

[Dragon Dual Shot]

Issei thrusts his fists into them, making them explode with a beam of energy, heading towards the winged beast. Once the beam collide, two gaping holes, one on each joint where the wings join the main body. Issei's smiles on the inside after injuring the beast, but that fades as the holes slowly close.

"Damn it! Anything I though at him, he just heals. He is slowly losing his sanity, but his prides is winning." Issei looks up and down the beast as he dodges fire based attacks after attacks from the Phoenix. 'I wish o could turn into a dragon equal to its size.'

[You care, Partner. But you'll die.]

'Yeah, I can't us the forbidden-technique here.' Issei flies up from a column of fire.

[Remember, Partner, you are a dragon. So spread your wings and do what dragons do best.] Ddraig practically yelled.

"And what is that?" Issei says to the dragon.

[Overwhelm your opponent what power!]

[BOOST] [BOOST] [BOOST]

Issei face palms himself for forgetting the Boosted Gear's main technique. "I'm an idiot."

[That you are. But even an idiot knows to fight fire with fire.] Ddraig hints.

[Boost]

"Who the hell are you talking to again?!" Riser yells as he gets pissed that is opponent is talking to an invisible person and doesn't care to attack. Having, finally having this, again, Riser commands the beast to open its beak and breathes fire, and so it does. Thinking quickly, Issei opens his face guard, breathes in and exhales and equally large breath of fire. The flame quickly overwhelmed Riser's and causes the latter to fly out of its way, in the process. In the aftermath the beast is gone and it's just Riser surrounded by a pattern less flame.

[Boost]

"The Red Dragon Emperor's flame? Interesting." Riser comments as he pants. Issei puts his face guard back on, panting as well.

[Partner, maybe in a few more Boosts, can you get closer and take minimal damage.] Ddraig's voice fills Issei's thoughts.

'You think? This guy got more powerful in just by covering himself in fire.' Issei cursed at Riser.

[I've heard the Phoenix Clan made a deal with a real Phoenix and has its blood, energy and magic tuning through every member of the clan. So it's not a surprise when they unlock the Phoenix's full abilities, that they gain more power. That and you only have unlocked the basics of a dragon's power and abilities.] The last part shocked Issei.

[Boost]

"I ONLY KNOW THE BASICS?! I SPENT OVER TEO YEARS TO CONTROL YOU AND TWELVE TO GAIN THE BODY OF A DRAGON AND I KNOW THE BASICS?!" Issei yells at the left arm. "I thought you said that after my sleep that I would become the closest thing to a dragon!" Ddraig stays silent for a few moments as Riser bombards Issei again.

[Hmmm...I did say that..didn't I. Well I meant that your body would be accepting to that power. You still have decades, maybe centuries until you even come close a real dragon.]

"So.. You've been lying to me ALL THIS TIME?!" Issei yells as he dodges a huge ball of fire.

[Boost]

[No, I was only telling part of the truth.]

Issei sighs. "After we're done here, I'm going to kill you." He curses at she rushes Riser.

[HA!] Ddraig laughs.

"WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?!" Riser yells out of annoyance that is opponent talks to himself. Issei looks up to him and put puts on a sorry like exasperation.

[Boost]

"I'm sorry, I want talking to Ddraig. The Red Dragon Emperor." He bows in apology. As his head in looking down. Riser takes the advantage while he has it to strike. Flying at amazing speed, he appears outside of the Phoenix, still covered in a light shield of fire though, and brings his left hand down in a slicing motion, above Issei's neck, to behead him.

*CLING*

The sound of banging metal is made as Risers hand, is brought down on Issei's neck. But doesn't get though. The hand in stopped right at the neck, and doesn't move. Issei smiles as his hand holds onto Risers wrist, and his other hand, groping his leg, holing him in place.

"Let go of me?!" Riser orders, struggling to get free. He fails to notice a section of Issei's armor open up near his thigh and the red tail loops around a vial in his pocket and brings it to light.

"To put out a fire, you need water." Issei says as his tail crushed the vial in front of Riser's face. The latter screams horribly. Issei lets go of him, watching him scream in agony from the water that is not burning and making his skin bubble and fizz.

"That wasn't just any water, that was Holy Water. You, a pure blood Devil's weakness." Issei then swings his left leg back, creating an elongated barrier circle above his leg. If he didn't do this, the force the hit would most likely break his own leg.

"For Rias." Issei crushes Riser with one powerful kick to the crotch, and flinging him a great distance from the force of the impact to his pelvis. Rider screams horridly from the Holy Water and the kick, and continues to through the air and into a tree, breaking into pieces.

Riser's screams die down a few moments later with his manhood, ego, and his winning streak. Issei flies a few feet in front of Riser, and walks slowly to him, but it stopped by a little blond girl with drill looking pigtailed hair.

"Leave my brother alone." She says, holding her arms to her sides and spreading her legs a bit to gain more area of coverage to try and stop this monster from hurting her brother anymore. Issei leans down to her.

"If you want to end up like fried chicken over there, I suggest you get out of my way Phoenix." He continues walking passed her, making her blush red. He stands in front of Riser, who has his face in the ground, arms limp to his said, but in the air and legs bent and limp as well, but still conscious. Unless you want a Holy Light Spear up your anal cavity, I highly suggest you kneel." Issei says as he forms a rather large Black-Light Spear.

Riser quivers where he lay and mutters two words. "I kneel!" and with that, a bell rings around the arena, signally a victor had emerged. Issei ignores all of this as he slowly walks and then glides through the air, back on top of the ORC clubroom building in search for Rias. Once seeming her from a distance, he undoes his barrier spell and folds he's wings up.

Once the barriers were gone, Rias rushed to her servant and savior's side. On her way there, a beeps mutters the word, 'Reset' and the armor around Issei vanishes as quickly as it appears. Finally getting to him. She grabs into him and brings his face to her chest as she holds him close. Feeling his warmth and soothing his injuries.

She leans down to his ear and mutters with tears in her eyes. "Thank you, Issei. Thank you."

The latter looks up to her and smiles with dropping eyes. "You're welcome, Rias." And with that, Issei falls completely limp and back asleep on his boob pillow. In a matter of seconds, a red glow, coming from the ground, surrounds them both and teleports them away.

The game is over. The lust beat power. And the Dragon triumphed over the Phoenix. Everything will be well again. Or so they think.

AN: I hope you all have a wonderful New Year and an amazing day. See you again for the Final Chapter.
