Lucifer Rising

Occult Research Club Room

Ten days have passed since the announcement of the Rating Game. Rias along with her peerage are now waiting for the game to started. Sona and Tsubaki had come to the room and said their "Good luck". And then Issei and Asia found out that Rias' brother is Sirzechs Lucifer, the new Satan that inherited the name of "Lucifer". Needless to say, Lucifer didn't take the news very well and continuously ranting in Issei's head.

For the last ten days, Rias' peerage trained at a mansion owned by her family. At there, both Michael and Lucifer didn't give Issei any power or ability, forcing him to train with his own strength. It's also during the training that Issei developed a move called Dress Break, which can strip off opponent's clothes. This move however, came with great consequence.

When Issei went to the dream world, both Michael and Lucifer beat him to bloody pulp. They then healed him, only to beat him again. And then Lucifer began to torture Issei. Issei finally knew why so many feared the Devil; his torture skills are horrifying. Issei finally gave up and promised to never use Dress Break unless he got permission.

In return, Michael and Lucifer taught him something. If Issei use it during the Rating Game, he'll definitely win it.

Rias and her peerage then teleport themselves to the battlefield...which turns out to be an exact copy of Kuoh Academy.

"Wow. So much for an another realm."

"That, I can agree."

The group then find out that their base is the Old School Building while Riser's is the New School Building. One of the most obvious tactic is to take Issei to the new building while preventing any of Riser's Pawn from entering the old building. They will also set up some traps. Rias' peerage have equip themselves with some sort of transmitter.

The game is now begin.

Rias suddenly find a problem though; Issei is nowhere in sight.


"So, I just need to do that?" Ask Issei.

"Precisely, dumb***. Now do it and victory is in your hand!"

Issei then summon his Sacred Gear, or to be more precise, the left glove. He puts his hand on a ground. Light emerges from the ground and engraved it. The light disappear when it finished carving. The carving is a circle with lines coming from its center and touching the side. It's engraved with the pattern that resemble whirlpool.

Issei goes to one of the carving's side. He then take out a vial filled with blood. His blood. Issei opens the vial and pour the entire content to the carving.

"Now you just need to wait. Now go back to your base. I'll help you with coming back."

Issei then disappear with the sound of wing's flap.


Old School Building

"Where have you been, Issei?" Ask Rias.

"Sorry, President. I have something to do." Replied Issei.

"Well, no matter. It isn't important. You're lucky that I haven't explain most of the plan yet."

Rias then explain her plan. It involved attacking through a gym, defeating Riser's servants one by one, and so on.


At the carving, the blood almost filled it. That carving has a name that makes it quite famous; the Gate of Lucifer's Cage.

The blood finally filled the entire carving and meet with each other at the center of the carving.

White light emerged from the center along with a sound.


Old School Building

"President! I detect something at the center of the battlefield!" Report Koneko who seems trying to hold herself.

"What is it, Koneko?" Ask Rias immediately.

"I...don't know. The only way...to describe it...is angelic."

"Angelic? There's an angel at the battlefield?!" Exclaim Kiba.

"But how? It's impossible for anyone to get inside her easily without being known." Said Akeno.

Issei doesn't say anything. However, he can feel something. As if someone is sucking out his life energy.


New School Building

"Master, I see something coming from the middle of the field?"

"What is it, Mira?"

"It appears to be a pillar of light.

"Pillar of light? Alright then, girls. Be prepare for anything!"


Monitoring Room

"Sona, look at that!" Said Tsubaki as she points at a monitor.

Sona take a look at the monitor. It shows a pillar of light suddenly appearing in the middle of the battlefield.

"Oh my Satan, what is that?" Ask Sona.


V.I.P. Room

Inside the room, Sirzechs is watching the Rating Game with his wife, Grayfia. He also see the pillar of light that appears out of nowhere.

"Grayfia, do you know what is that?" Ask Sirzechs.

"I don't know, Sir Sirzechs. This is the first time I see something like that." Replied Grayfia.


The pillar of light becomes bigger and bigger. It then let out a voice; the voice of an Archangel. The voice that's more than capable of killing a living being.


Old School Building

Rias and her peerage are closing their ears to protect them from the voice. Despite that, they can still hear the voice.

"Damn it, what the hell is that voice?!" Exclaim Rias.

"Too...powerful...can kill...us..." Said Koneko.

Issei however doesn't cover his ears. He's just standing as his life energy is being depleted.


New School Building

The same thing is also happening to Riser's peerage; all of them are trying to protect their ears from the voice.

"Years of fighting in Rating Games and this is the first time I hear that kind of voice. I would more than love to incinerate the person that's responsible for the voice." Exclaim Riser.


The pillar of light suddenly explode. It's now bigger than it's previous size and the voice is becoming even tenser. Colossal earthquakes and severe winds suddenly happened.


Old School Building

Rias' peerage are on the floor or sofa as their try to not listening to the voice. The entire building is shaking and any glass in the room are breaking apart.

Issei is still standing. But he can feel that after this event, he need to lie down.


New School Building

Riser's peerage also share the same fate; they're on the floor as they're holding their ears, the building is shaking, and the glass are breaking apart.


Monitor Room

Despite only watching it through the monitors, both Sona and Tsubaki can hear the voice. They're now holding their ears. The room is also shaking and the glass are breaking apart.

"What's wrong with that pillar?! It just explode and now let out a voice and earthquake!" Exclaim Sona.

"Someone better came up with a good explanation." Exclaim Tsubaki.


V.I.P. Room

Both Sirzechs and Grayfia – despite being a high ranking devils – are also in troubles. While they can still hold on, the voice makes them close their ears with their hands. The entire room is also shaking.

"Things have become interesting." Said Sirzechs.

"It is NOT. This is bad. Should we stop the game?" Ask Grayfia.

"Don't. It still not reach the limit."


Underworld, Devil's Territory

The Rating Game's area and the watching places are not the only places that get affected. The rest of the Underworld is also affected.

Earthquakes at colossal size are happening all over the Underworld. The buildings are shaking, trying to hold on on their foundation, the streets are abandoned, the devils trying to find a shelter for them and their loved ones. Severe winds followed closely.

Some buildings finally give up and fall apart. Electricity and anything related to it become haywire.


Underworld, Fallen Angel's Territory

Azazel was searching about some Sacred Gears when the entire event is happening. He can see that many of his fellow fallen are trying to find a safe place for cover. He doesn't know the exact thing that's about to happen, but he knows that it can be something bad.

"And right when I want peace, this is what I got. Hopefully it's only temporary." Said Azazel.


Heaven

More or less, the situation in Heaven is the same. While it's obvious that Heaven can hang on with the earthquakes and winds, it's also obvious that a massive cleaning and repairing operation need to be done after this.

At the Sixth Heaven, also known as "Zebel", Michael and Gabriel are walking around while also bracing themselves.

"Gabriel, can you feel it?" Ask Michael.

"I am. It feels...strange but also familiar." Replied Gabriel.


Rating Game's Battlefield

Slowly but steady, the light disappear. When it completely do, a figure is standing at the light's former place. He relax his body for a while before preparing for combat.

"Finally, some action."


Old School Building

Slowly, Rias puts her hand at a table to support herself. After she managed to stand, she looks at the condition of the building. While the building still can stand, it's also damaged quite good; there are holes at the ceiling, cracks on the wall, the windows' glass are shattered, and the doors are almost out of their hinges.

Rias then see that her servants are now also trying to stand up. Most can immediately stand properly while others use the sofa to hold themselves.

"Everyone OK?" Ask Rias.

"I am fine, Prez." Said Akeno.

"No sufficient wound." Said Koneko.

"So do I." Said Kiba.

"I think I am fine." Said Asia.

...

Rias' peerage realize that there's no reply from Issei. When they look at him, they find him lying at the ground with his back on the top. Kiba and Asia then move Issei to a sofa. There, Asia tries to heal Issei, but find out that she can't.

"I can't do anything. It seems that whatever happened to Issei isn't an injury." Said Asia.

"Great. Now we technically lost our only Pawn." Comment Rias. "Anyway, it's time to move. Don't waste any second!"

"Yes, President!"


Gym

Lucifer is approaching the gym with laid back attitude. He's wearing the same clothes that he wore when he used Nick as his vessel. Actually, his current appearance is Nick's.

Anyway, he has no need to be careful. None of these abominations show something that's a threat to him. Not even the Gremory's heir's Power of Destruction is something worth a thought.

Lucifer opens a door and enter the building. He can see that he enters the building through the stage. Lucifer keeps walking until he's at the center of the stage. There, he see four girls, presumably from that Fried Chicken's peerage.

"Who are you?" Ask the girl wearing a Chinese clothes.

"That's a nice question. I'll give you choices for my name; Nick, Serpent, Light Bringer, Dark Prince." Replied Lucifer.

"Nick, then. What are you doing here?" Ask one of the twin girls.

"Well, my host decide that dealing with you girls and that stupid bird man would be too hard for him. So he decided to summoned me instead."

"Summoned you? What are you, a familiar?" Ask the other twin.

"I am no familiar. Just the most beautiful being sealed inside a gear."

"Enough talking!" Said the girl with long staff.

"Very well then."

Lucifer suddenly appear in front of the Chinese-clothed-girl. He grabs the girl and throws her at the three remaining girls. He missed completely but when the girl hits the wall of gym, she too injured to continue the game and thus teleported from the battlefield.

[Riser Phenex's Rook has retired]

Lucifer suddenly hear a sound of chainsaw. When he looks at the source, he see the twins are wielding said saws and are about to strike him. Lucifer let them have their hits by keep standing at his position. When the saws hit him however, they broke apart. There's a reason why you don't use a chainsaw against an archangel.

Wasting no chance, Lucifer uses telekinesis to grab both girls and then throws them as projectiles to the last girl. The girl managed to dodge her now-are-projectiles-comrades. Though this caused both girls to hit the wall or floor and wounded them so badly. Both then disappear.

[Rise Phenex's two Pawns have retired]

The girl with the staff decide to strike Lucifer using her staff. Without looking at it, Lucifer catch the staff and snap it. He then grabs the girl's throat and begin to choke her. Few seconds later, the girl is defeated.

[Riser Phenex's Pawn has retired]

Seeing that there's no more enemy at the gym, Lucifer exits the building and walk towards the new building. Few moments walking to there and there's explosion right at where Lucifer's stand. When the smoke disappear, so does Lucifer.

"Strange. That usually didn't happen. The chances are high that the man is still around. I better be careful." Said Yubelluna.


"That's a close one. I almost make my clothes dirty. Don't want that to happen so quickly." Comment Lucifer after he teleported to the other side of the battlefield.

[Rias Gremory's Rook has retired]

"Oh, hear that. One less devil to be worried about." Comment Lucifer.

Lucifer then continue his journey to find more devils to be attacked. He then see the blonde-haired Knight, Kiba, is currently fighting three devils. The fight is on his side. After seeing the fight for few minutes, Lucifer see that Kiba has managed to defeat the devils. Seeing that, Lucifer decide to give a clap to Kiba.

"That's very interesting for an abomination like you." Said Lucifer as he walks to Kiba.

"Who are you?" Ask Kiba as he prepare for another possible battle.

"You can call me Nick. Remember that light show earlier? It was I making my grand entrance."

"Alright, Nick. What are you doing here?"

"Well my host decided that for your team to win you need more firepower. I decided to gave him a way to summoned and here I am."

"Host...? Are you talking about Issei?"

"You know that perverted jerk? Sorry, I forgot former murderous, hairless ape like you always like that kind of people."

"I think I now understand why Issei tend to look so depressed. You're as annoying as Heaven."

"Hey, watch your mouth! Heaven is not annoying...if you didn't count my little brother in the equation."

"I said 'Heaven' because I can't use 'Hell' as a curse word. I am a devil you know. Also..."

"Anyway, shouldn't we be looking for another devil from other team instead of talking?"

Kiba stops his talk before starting it again.

"Alright. You can accompanied me if you want."

"Sweet. Now I have a victi – I mean partner to have joke with."

"...I am regretting my decision."

Lucifer and Kiba then walk together through the battlefield. Kiba often talk to Rias to both received order for strategy and distract himself from Lucifer's rant. That fallen archangel tend to talk about how flawed humans are and why they should be destroyed, how easy it is to crush devils' big yet fragile ego, and many others. Kiba is now wondering how the heaven Issei remain sane with this being sealed inside his Sacred Gear.

Both side finally meet one of Riser's Knight, Karlamine. Kiba and her have some talk for the first few minutes before fighting each other. Lucifer looks around the place and see the remaining Riser's servants.

"Oh my, are all of you are now trying to attack me at the same time? That's so dirty, something that should be expected from a lowly mutation like you." Comment Lucifer.

"Shut up! At least we're unlike you that's being sealed inside a Sacred Gear and only recently set free!" Shout Ravel.

"How do you know that?" Ask Lucifer with a mocking tone.

"Four of our friends that you defeated? They had transmitters on them."

"Wow. You're so weak that you require transmitters to speak with each other."

"Just keep your mouth shut! Isabella, may you do the honor?"

Lucifer then see a woman with...some of her clothes torn apart at one of the side, is that how you describe it?

Anyway, that woman come closer to him and seems to be ready to fight him. The Satan decide to not look and ignore her. This caused Isabella's blood to be boiled.

She launch a punch at Lucifer, who casually and without seeing it catch it. He then add enough force to crack the woman's right hand and caused her to scream in pain. Lucifer then let go of the woman's hand and kicks her to the other side of the field, causing her to teleport off the battlefield.

[Riser Phenex's Rook has retired]

"Only with a kick and he defeated a Rook...just what kind of being are you?" Mutter Ravel as she see the situation.

"This is the 'Great Peerage of Riser Phenex'? If this is your best abilities, then I can see myself at a throne with the Four Satans as my personal servants." Mock Lucifer.

Lucifer suddenly disappear, only to reappear behind the cat-girl twins. He grabs both of them, jump to the sky, and throws them to other Riser's servants. All of them avoid Lucifer's attack, though the twins then teleported to outside.

[Riser Phenex's two Pawns have retired]

Lucifer then land at the ground and creating a shock wave that caused all devils to loose their composure. He then use telekinesis to at two devils and make them collide with each other. Then, Lucifer sends them flying to the sky before pulling them back, making them hit the ground.

[Riser Phenex's Knight and Bishop have retired]

This leave Ravel the Bishop and Karlamine the Knight, the latter who's on her way to be defeated.

Suddenly, there's an explosion at the top of the new school building. When the ones of the ground look at there, they see Rias – supported by Asia – fighting agaisnt Riser.

"Stop, stupid master of the abominations! Don't defeat him! He's my primary target! That stupid host promised me that I can fight that stupid bird!" Shout Lucifer which is being heard by all devils in the field

"Are you out of your mind? My brother is a Phenex! Him and I are immortals!" Said Ravel.

"Not my first immortal opponent. I had killed beings who are more immortals than that bird brain."

Lucifer then disappear with the sound of wing's flap. He appears behind Riser's last Knight and bashed her skull to the ground, an act that defeated her.

[Riser Phenex's Knight has retired]

Lucifer then goes to the place where Akeno and Yubelluna are fighting.

"Hey flying crows, may I join in...? Wait, I never need your permission!" Said Lucifer.

Lucifer use telekinesis to send Yubelluna to the ground. He then takes away her Phoenix's tear with the same power and crush the bottle containing it. Then, as if trying to mimic Gabriel the youngest Archangel, Lucifer created a World War Two era bomb and drops it above Yubelluna. He didn't forget to decrease the damage it created though.

[Riser Phenex's Queen has retired]

Lucifer suddenly teleported and arrived right in front of Ravel. She raised both of her hands.

"I surrender." Said Ravel who then disappear.

[Riser Phenex's Bishop has retired]

"Oh man, and I thought I have two immortals that I can kill... Well, no matter. As a substitute for not killing a member of your peerage, I am going to beat you instead!" Said Lucifer as he points at Riser.

"Hahaha, you want to defeat me? That's impossible, old man!" Said Riser as he throws fire at Lucifer.

Lucifer doesn't move from his position. Instead, he brace the fire. When it's gone, Lucifer is still standing and fine.

"See? That's the only thing you can do. I can thing of thousands of ways to defeat you." Replied Lucifer with mocking tone.

Riser replied it by sending more fire to Lucifer. Lucifer retaliate by teleporting right in front of Riser and throws him to the ground. When Riser stand up and ready for another fight, he see something is wrong; everyone except him and Lucifer are frozen.

"Do you like that? Control over time can grant you this kind of ability." Said Lucifer as he remain at the top of the building.

Lucifer then do something he hasn't done for a long time; he shows his wings via astral projection to Riser. Behind Lucifer, 12 broken angel wings created from shadow emerged. Riser feels only one thing; fear.

"Let's get the show to begin!" Exclaim Lucifer.

The fallen archangel jumps to the air and land right at where Riser is. Before the Phenex can do something, Lucifer picks him up and freeze the inside part of Riser's body. He then rip the stupid bird's body apart and throws them away. Riser managed to rebuild himself...only for Lucifer to blast him using white light. When the light disappear, Riser feels a tremendous amount of pain and most of his body is burning.

"Not so invicible now, aren't you? Don't worry, I still have many more tricks to do!"

"No! Please no! I surrender, I surrender!" Riser then realize something is wrong. "Why I didn't the game stopped?!"

"Because I stop time, the game can't stop." Replied Lucifer with a smile as he prepare another move.


(a/n: Due to what happened next, not even rating the story as "M" is enough to let the readers from finding out what's exactly happening. Let's just say that the event involved ice, telekinesis, white light, and a looooooot amount of pain)


When the time begin to move again, Rias looks around, trying to find Riser. She finally find him; in a big crater, have a very frightened face, with Lucifer looking at him from the side of the crater.

"It's done." Said Lucifer.

[Riser Phenex and his peerage have retired. The winner is Rias Gremory and her peerage]


And done.

Sorry about the note, guys. But seriously, if I posted it, none of you will think that I am in my right mind. You might want me to end up at a mental hospital.

The next chapter is the aftermath of the Rating Game.

If you have question or suggestion, feel free to tell me.

Review please.
