Dark-K: Here it is! The Rating Game with Riser begins. This took a little more time than the other chapters because I wanted to be a bit more original with this fight. I'll be trying to make all the major fights more original than just cutting and pasting Takashi into them.

Chapter 6: The Game Begins and Check
It was about time for the Rating Game to start and every one of the ORC is waiting in the club room. Everyone except Asia, who is in her nun uniform, are in their school uniform.
"I'm getting nervous," Takashi said with a tone of nervousness.
"I am as well," Asia said in a similar tone.
"Don't worry you two, we will win this," Akeno said with her usual smile.
"She's right, Takashi-kun. As long as we fallow Buchou's orders we will be victorious," Yuuto said as he was polishing his sword.
"Yuuto-senpai is right," Koneko said in a plain tone while eating various snacks that are on the table.
Then a white magic circle appeared in the room. When it vanished, Grayfia appeared.
"The game will be starting soon are you all ready," the silver haired maid asked the teenaged devils?
Everyone nodded at the question.
"Then please step into this magic circle," Grayfia said as she stepped aside before a white magic circle appeared on the floor.
The ORC stepped onto the magic circle. In a flash of white light the ORC was teleported to a room identical to the club room.
Asia looked around in confusion as she asked ", did it work?"
"It worked Asia. Look out the window," Takashi said as he stared out said window.
Asia walked over to the window and looked out to see a distorted sky. "Where are we," she asked?
"Rating Games take place in pocket dimensions created so that they can take place anywhere. It also makes it so that the servants can go all out to showcase their abilities," Akeno said in explanation.
Over a broadcasting system Grayfia said ", good evening. My name is Grayfia Lucifuge. I am the maid of the Gremory family and I will be the referee for this Rating Game. This match will be monitored by Sona Sitri-sama as a third party witness. The match will be broadcasted to both the Phenex family and the Gremory family as well as Sirzechs Lucifer-sama. The field that this Rating Game is a copy of the academy that Rias-sama goes to, Kuoh Academy. Riser-sama has given his consent to using the academy as the field. The base of Rias-sama is the old school building while Riser-sama's is the new school building. The game shall begin in one hour. This time is to allow the masters to plan for this game."
"Ok everyone let's get started," Rias said as she placed a map of the school the desk. The map showed the layout of the school in the form of a chess board.
"What should we do first," Akeno asked her master?
"First we need to set up a defense around the school. First, I want Yuuto and Koneko to set up traps around the base. After they are done I want you to set up illusions all around the forest we're in," Rias said to her Queen.
Akeno, Yuuto, and Koneko nodded at the orders and headed out to set up the team's defense.
"What do you want us to do," Asia asked curiously?
"Asia you need to stay near me. You have no way of fighting and you are our healer. If something happened to you then we will be in trouble," Rias said as she sat down at the replica desk.
"What about me," Takashi asked as he pointed to himself?
"Takashi, I want you to limit yourself to one sacred gear as much as possible to limit the enemies info on your powers. I would like it if you saved using both Divine Dividing and Boosted Gear until the fight against Riser. Also, keep that armband that Grayfia gave you on at all times. If anyone finds out that you are a Lucifer, then there will be a big fuss over you that can cause problems for everyone," Rias said as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Got it," Takashi said in confirmation. Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing appeared.
[Which of us will you use first Aibou,] Ddraig asked through the Boosted Gear?
"I don't know. I'll go with whichever one fits the first battle I'm in," Takashi said in response to the dragon's question.
[That makes sense. If he went with me and the enemy can keep him at a distance then he will be in trouble,] Albion said in agreement as both sacred gears disappeared.
After a few minutes Akeno, Yuuto, and Koneko returned.
"Everything is in place, Buchou," Yuuto said in confirmation of the preparations completion.
"Ok everyone. Take one of these," Rias said as she held out ear buds.
"What are these for," Asia asked as she and everyone else put an ear bud in one of their ears?
"We will use them to communicate," Rias answered.
"So what's the plan," Takashi asked in excitement?
"First Takashi, you and Koneko will attack through the gym. It is the center of the game field and I need you two to take it this will lead into the later part of my plan," Rias said as she began the team's strategy meeting.
After about a half hour Grayfia came up on the broadcasting system. "It has been an hour. It is now time for the Rating Game between Rias-sama and Riser-sama to begin," she said.
(Riser: 1 Queen, 2 Rooks, 2 Knights, 2 Bishops, 8 Pawns)
(Rias: 1 Queen, 1 Rook, 1 Knight, 1 Bishop, 1 Pawn)
Takashi, Koneko, Yuuto, and Akeno are outside the base. Yuuto ran into the woods as Akeno transformed her cloths into miko attire and flew off.
"Sanatos," Takashi yelled as the hell stead appeared from a red magic circle. Sanatos is now sporting reins and a sattle.
"You called Lord Takashi," Sanatos said to his master.
"Yeah! It's time to pluck some phoenix feathers," Takashi said as he got onto his familiar. Takashi held out his had to Koneko.
"Thanks," Koneko said plainly as she took his hand and sat herself behind Takashi.
"Let's go, Sanatos," Takashi yelled as the hell stead galloped towards the gym.
When they got to the gym, Takashi, Koneko, and Sanatos entered through the back entrance. It was black inside the gym as they snuck onto the stage.
"We know you're there, servants of Gremory," yelled the voice of a woman in her early twenties as all the lights came on!
"Looks like we've been found out. Let's go Koneko-chan. Sanatos," Takashi said to the two as they nodded.
Takashi. Koneko, and Sanatos walked out on to the stage. In front of them are four girls. The oldest is a tall Chinese woman in a blue Chinese dress with high slits. The next one looks to be in her teens wearing martial arts cloths and has a staff in her hands. The last two are twins in gym cloths, both look like about twelve with light blue hair. The only difference is that one has a ponytail on the left side of her head while the other has one on the right side.
"Oh, a hell stead, huh. You must be something to have one of those as a familiar," the girl in the Chinese dress said somewhat sarcastically.
"You'll be surprised, Sanatos stay back. Only interfere if I tell you or if something happens," Takashi ordered his familiar.
As Sanatos stepped back the Chinese girl introduced herself. "I'm Xuelan, a Rook in service to Riser Phenex," she yelled!
"I'm Mira, a Pawn," the girl with the staff said.
"We are Ile and Nel, both Pawns," the twins said in unison as they pulled blue chainsaws out of nowhere.
"Koneko, Rook," Koneko said as she got into a fighting stance.
"Takashi, Pawn and Red Dragon Emperor," Takashi yelled as the Boosted Gear appeared!
"Boost," yelled the Boosted Gear!
"A sacred gear," Xuelan yelled in shock!
"Takashi-senpai leave the Rook to me, you take the Pawns," Koneko said as she charged Xuelan.
"Roger," Takashi yelled as he charged towards the Pawns.
"Take this," the three Pawns yelled as they attacked Takashi with their weapons.
"Boost," yelled the Boosted Gear!
"Nice try! Protector Shade," Takashi yelled as he shoved his left hand forward as the black energy wall formed from it.
The attacks collide with the energy wall as the three Pawns yelled in shock of their attacks being blocked.
"Now, take this. Shot Gun," Takashi yelled as he punched with his right hand. Black bullets of light game out of his right hand and hit the three Pawns, sending them flying back with ripped cloths. Takashi blushed slightly at the revealed underwear.
"What was that," Xuelan said as she avoided a punch from Koneko.
"Shot Gun is an attack from Yu Yu Hakusho that I copied. I thought it was a good idea to have an attack that hits a wide area," Takashi said as he rubbed the underside of his nose with his right pointer finger. He jumped over Mira as she attacked with her staff.
"We'll get you this time," the twins said in unison as their chainsaws ignited with flames.
The twins and Mira did a pincer attack on Takashi, twins from the front and Mira from behind.
"Your wall want save you this time," Mira yelled!
"Boost," yelled the Boosted Gear once again!
"No dice. Protector Wall," Takashi yelled as he lifted his left hand above his head! A black dome of energy surrounded him.
"What," yelled the Pawns as their weapon shattered from the collision with the dome!
"And now, Double Shot Gun," Takashi yelled as the dome vanish, punching one fist towards the twins and the other at Mira. The Shot Gun attack came from both fists and damaged the Phenex Pawns even more.
"Six of Riser-sama's Pawns have been removed," Grayfia said over the broadcast system as the three Pawns near Takashi vanished in blue light.
(Riser: 1 Queen, 2 Rooks, 2 Knights, 2 Bishops, 2 Pawns)
(Rias: 1 Queen, 1 Rook, 1 Knight, 1 Bishop, 1 Pawn)
"Yuuto-kun must have taken some out as well," Takashi said as he looked over to see Koneko holding Xuelan in a lock.
"Takashi-senpai it's time to go," Koneko said as she punch Xuelan out cold.
"Not so fast," a female voice said.
Takashi and Koneko looked over at the direction of the voice to see three more women. All looked Japanese. One of them in a traditional kimono with black hair. The other two were twin cat girls, both wearing revealing school uniforms. The only difference is that one has pink hair while the other has blue hair, both in braids.
"Sorry, I like cat girls more than most guys but we have to leave. Sanatos," Takashi said as the twins blushed a little. Sanatos charged forward at the Phenex servants distracting them long enough for Takashi and Koneko to hop onto his back. They left the gym just as it was destroyed by a huge bolt of lightning.
"One Bishop, one Rook, and two of Riser-sama's Pawns have been removed," Grayfia said over the broadcast system.
(Riser: 1 Queen, 1 Rook, 2 Knights, 1 Bishop, 0 Pawns)
(Rias: 1 Queen, 1 Rook, 1 Knight, 1 Bishop, 1 Pawn)
Takashi looked back to look at the destruction as he had Sanatos come to a stop and noticed that Koneko was blushing. "Koneko-chan you ok? You look a bit red," Takashi asked Koneko as they got off the hell stead?
"I'm fine Takashi-senpai," Koneko said, looking away from the silver haired boy, as she started to walk towards the Track field.
"What's up with her," Takashi said in confusion?
Sanatos chuckled a little as he said ", you must watch what you say Lord Takashi or you might have trouble later on."
Takashi just shrugged off what Sanatos said as looked back at the gym. "Akeno-san knows how to dish out the boom," he said seeing the black haired beauty fly off. As he turned around, Takashi heard an explosion. As the smoke cleared, Koneko vanished in blue light like Riser's Pawns.
"Rias-sama's Rook has been removed," Grayfia said over the broadcast system.
(Riser: 1 Queen, 1 Rook, 2 Knights, 1 Bishop, 0 Pawns)
(Rias: 1 Queen, 0 Rook, 1 Knight, 1 Bishop, 1 Pawn)
"Koneko-chan," Takashi yelled through forming tears as he looked for the source of the attack! He settled his eyes on a woman in her mid-twenties with velvet hair and a revealing purple dress with a magic staff in her hand flying just a ways from him.
"Hello servant of Rias-sama. My name is Yubelluna and I am Riser-sama's Queen," the woman said with a smile.
Takashi was shaking in anger from the defeat of his friend.
Sanatos looked at his master and said ", Lord Takashi remember what Lady Rias said. You must wait until the end to use the other one."
"What's wrong Pawn-kun? Angry that I took out your friend. Well I'll make it fast, we promised Ravel-sama not to beat you up to bad," Yubelluna said in a tone that made Takashi even angrier. Before she could do anything, Yubelluna dodged a bolt of lightning from Akeno.
"You should watch what you say to Takashi-kun, when his temper flares he's a force to be reckoned with. Though I do feel hot from seeing it though," Akeno said while holding herself as her face became distorted in a sense of pleasure.
"Master we need to move on. Leave the enemy to Lady Akeno," Sanatos pled to Takashi.
"Let's go," Takashi said as he ran towards the Track flied. Sanatos fallowed his master.
"Ah, I wanted to play with Ravel-sama's Pawn-kun a bit more, but I'll make do with the Priestess of Thunder," Yubelluna said in a sarcastic tone.
"Why would Ravel-sama not want Takashi-kun hurt, Bomb Queen," Akeno asked her fellow Queen as she lifted a hand up with a yellow magic circle forming above her?
"Ravel-sama has taken a liking to Pawn-kun. I think she wants him in her peerage when she gets older," Yubelluna said in a flat tone as she readied for a fight.
"That's not going to happen! Takashi-kun will never leave Rias-sama, she gave him the hope that he had lost," Akeno yelled as the two Queens started to fight.
When Takashi got to the Track field he saw Yuuto having a sword fight with a woman in knight armor. But before he could jump in he was punched in the stomach. When he recovered he saw a woman in biker clothes and wearing a mask that covered half her face.
"You're tougher than you look. My name is Isabella, one of Riser-sama's Rooks," the woman said as she got into a battle stance.
"Boost," yelled the Boosted Gear!
"The name is Takashi Myoujou, Rias-sama's only Pawn," Takashi said as he prepared to fight the Rook Isabella.
Off to the side Ravel was watching from behind a tree. "Takashi…," she said in a worried tone with a look of confliction on her face.
"Only Pawn! So Rias-sama is really behind on using her Evil Pieces," Isabella said as she charged Takashi.
"Actually she used all of her Pawns on me. Ha, four of them are Mutation Pieces," Takashi said as he sided stepped the punch Isabella was going to hit him with.
"What! She used all eight and four of them are Mutations," Isabella said in shock as she returned to a stance.
"Yeah, let me show you why," Takashi said as he held out the Boosted Gear forward.
"Explosion," yelled the gauntlet! A small orb of black energy formed in front of the sacred gear.
"Black Cannon," Takashi yelled as a large energy beam came from the black orb!
Isabell barely dodged the attack by the skin of her teeth. She had a look of horror at the power the Pawn has.
"Rias-sama's Queen has been removed," Grayfia said over the broadcast system.
(Riser: 1 Queen, 1 Rook, 2 Knights, 1 Bishop, 0 Pawns)
(Rias: 0 Queen, 0 Rook, 1 Knight, 1 Bishop, 1 Pawn)
While Isabella remained in shock from Takashi's attack, Takashi looked over to see Akeno falling from the sky as she vanished in blue light.
"Damn it all to hell," Takashi yelled at the top of his lungs in pure anger!
Before Takashi could do anything he was attacked from behind by a woman in combat gear with a large sword.
"Takashi," Ravel yelled as she took the attack for the angered boy! She was cut from her shoulder to her waist.
Takashi turned around at hearing Ravel and caught her as she fell.
"Ravel-sama," the woman said in shock as she backed away, dropping her sword.
"Ravel, why did you defend me," Takashi asked the wounded girl?
"I do not know. My body moved on its own," Ravel said with a weak voice as weak flames appeared on her wound, very slowly healing it.
"You didn't need to do that," Takashi said as tears formed on his sad face.
"But I am glad I did. I came to know you as a true friend that sees me as I am and not as some princess," Ravel said with a weak smile as a gigantic fire ball appeared in the sky above the field.
As the fire ball fell, Takashi noticed it and put up Protector Wall. When the fire ball crashed into the ground a large explosion accord. When the smoke cleared the Track field was decimated and only Takashi and Ravel were left.
"Rias-sama's Knight, two of Riser-sama's Knight and one of his Rooks have been removed," Grayfia said over the broadcast system.
(Riser: 1 Queen, 0 Rook, 0 Knights, 1 Bishop, 0 Pawns)
(Rias: 0 Queen, 0 Rook, 0 Knight, 1 Bishop, 1 Pawn)
Takashi looked up to the roof of the school building seeing Riser laughing with Rias and Asia standing a ways from him. Rias was crying and Asia has a look of shock on her face.
"Check," is all Riser said as he smiled evilly.
TO BE CONTINUED
