The day of the battle is here, i can finally go all out.

We had all gathered in the Occult Research club room early in the day, Sona and the rest of the Student council came by to say good luck and talk with me.
Whilst everyone was getting ready, Saji took the chance to talk to me.

"Yo Sora, destroy them!"

"That's exactly what i'm going to do." I replied with the biggest grin on my face.

I worried Saji a little with my smile, he must be thinking that i enjoy fighting. He would be right, i haven't had anything meaningful fights lately. Hopefully this is the start of many fierce battles.

"I'll see you guys after the game." I said this as it neared the time to start and returned to Rias' group to check on the others.

Rias, Issei and Asia were all nervous. Akeno looked strangely happy. Kiba and Koneko both had expressionless faces. Koneko was fidgeting though, she wanted to do her best for Rias' sake.

Grayfia appeared in the room ten minutes before time to tell us details and make sure we were ready.

"When it's time to start, you will be transported to the battlefield with this magic circle." Grayfia points to the one in front of the door. "The location is a place in a different dimension, so you can fight with all your might. It's disposable so do what you like."

I felt extreme joy rush over me, i could be as destructive as i wanted to. Well, it might come in handy if i mess my new Mystic arte up and it backfires.

"Buchou, Where is the other Bishop?"

"Unfortunately, the other bishop can't participate. The reason can be spoken about at another time."

Rias didn't look Issei in the eye when she answered him. The bishop must have quite the back story. Either way, it doesn't bother me.

"Also the 'Maou Lucifer-sama' will also be viewing this battle. Please don't forget that."

That's good, he would be someone strong to fight against. I'll have to ask him for a fight sometime.

"Onii-sama is ... So onii-sama is going to view this battle."

Rias' brother is the Maou! I might be able to get that fight then if i plead to Rias.

"Issei, i don't have to look at you to know what you are thinking. And no you did not hear wrong. Rias-sama's brother is Maou Lucifer."

Rias confirmed what i said, Issei and Asia were in disbelief. They should learn to hide their emotions, plus Issei should stop being dumbfounded by everything. He makes me hate him more and more by the day.

"Okay everyone, it's about time. Everyone to the magic circle."

We all gathered to the magic circle and waited to be transported.

"You can't use this magic circle again until the game ends. Good luck."

Once it hit the designated time, light covered us and the transportation started.
It was the same room, but it felt different. We were all here except for Grayfia, who we heard a moment later.

(Hello everyone. I'm Grayfia, a maid from the Gremory household. Today, i will be the arbiter of the Rating match between the Gremory household and the Phenix household.)

A few moments passed before Grayfia spoke again.

(In the name of my master, Sirzechs Lucifer, i will be keeping an eye on this match. By using both Rias-sama and Raiser-sama's opinion we created this battlefield. The battlefield for this match is a replica of the school Rias-sama attends, 'Kuoh Academy')

"Grrrr ... that cocky bastard." I punched the wall in anger after hearing this being our battlefield.

"What's wrong, Sora?"

I took a few seconds to calm down before answering Asia. "Allowing us to play on home turf, when it could of been anything. He is being arrogant and underestimating us."

(The location where both teams were transported will be their base. Rias-sama's base is the Occult research club room located in the old school building. Raiser-sama's base would be the student council's room located in the new building. For Pawns to use promotion, please go to the enemies base.)

"Student council room, eh? Fits the smug bastard."

The room filled with a weird atmosphere, my killing intent started to rise and it cooled down the room by a few degrees. For Issei to get to the main building to actually be able to do some decent damage, one of us is going to have to keep him safe.

"Everyone please put this transceiver in your ears."

Akeno passed out an earphone type transceiver.

"In the battlefield, we will be using this to communicate with each other." Rias said this while showing us how to put the ear piece in our ears.

(Now it's time for the commencement of the battle. Now this match will continue until dawn in human time. Then, game start.)

The school bell rang as Grayfia finished her announcement. Our first 'Rating game had now started.

Rias started to explain our strategy whilst Akeno started to prepare tea, why? i had no bloody idea.

"First we have to take down Raiser's Pawns. It will be troublesome if the all promote into Queen."

"Buchou, you seem pretty calm."

"The battle has only just begun. The 'Rating game' is originally a game that doesn't finish in a short time. There are times when it becomes a 'blitz', but mostly it's a game that takes a while to finish. Just like an actual chess game."

I opened a window and sat on the sill and sniffed the air. It felt the same but it smelt completely different, it was artificial for sure. The sky wasn't even the same colour, it was now a dark, musky purple.

"When we officially start, Koneko will be going with Sora and Issei will be going with Kiba. Asia and i will be here on standby whilst Akeno will be around to pick up any stragglers."

We all nod to our orders, i was so happy i didn't have to put up with the pervert.

"First, we need to set up some traps. Koneko, you go with Yuuto and set up traps in the forest. Take another map so you can mark the places with traps. I will copy it afterwards."

"Yes." "...Roger."

Kiba and Koneko left straight away and took a map and a tool box with them.

"Everyone else will be on standby whilst they set up traps. Akeno, when they return, can you cast illusions and mists around the forest and sky? One that only reacts to Raiser's group. The start of the match will be like that. We will have to move around during mid-game, so i'll leave the mists and illusions to you."

Good job i wasn't asked to help out. Even though it's the type of thing Zirnitra specializes in, i don't know any of that yet.

{Sora? When you going to give Issei his sword?}

'Fine, i'll do it now.'

I got off of the window sill and moved back to the centre of the room.

"Issei, i have something for you."

Once Issei turned around, i pulled both Brutal Fang and the sword i made for Issei. I immediately connected my sword to my belt then gave Issei his new sword.

"This is a sword i made for you, be careful i won't make you another one. I will also keep a hold of it in between fights and training sessions."

"Thanks Sora, why did you make me a sword?"

"So more of your training sessions would be with Kiba."

I stated with a smile to let Issei know that i disliked him, but in typical Issei fashion he didn't understand.

"But you are a swordsman too. Can't you teach me any of your artes?"

"Hell no. Kiba's a swordsman through and through, he likes to fight directly. I, on the other hand, don't. That's why i use my artes, plus you will never be good enough with the sword to use them. If you grow on me, i might teach you some artes that are performed using gauntlets."

Issei was unhappy at my statement. It made me happy, this kid took too much effort.

"Issei, come and sit next to me!"

He sat next to her without hesitation.

"Now, put your head on my thighs."

Issei looked up in disbelief, a thigh pillow must be something magnificent to him. I went back to the window sill to regain my peace of mind.
Rias places her hand on his forehead.

"I just unlocked a seal that i had cast on you."

"Seal?"

"I used eight pawns to reincarnate you. At that time, your strength was so low that your power as a Pawn had to be limited. You didn't have the power to endure those pieces. You would be the strongest after Akeno and Sora. You needed to train to be able to cope with more pieces, so i unsealed a bit just now."

Rias then started to pat his head. Asia was fuming whilst watching them. "Even though they are girls do not hold back. They will not do the same."

It was some time for Kiba and Koneko to get back, but when they did it was officially time to start.

Kiba and Issei moved off in their direction before me and Koneko moved towards our destination. We had to secure the gym.
Rias' voice sounded in my ear.

"Sora, Koneko. Once you get to the gym, you won't be able to avoid a battle. That location is important."

We nodded to each other and left the old school building.
As we walked in the direction of the gym, i decided to tell Rias something.

"Rias-sama? I hope you don't do anything reckless, that's my job."

All i got back was a chuckle. This put me a little on edge, she must be thinking for something risky.
As we entered the back door of the gym, a loud voice boomed.

"We know you are there, servants of Gremory! We saw you coming inside!"

I stepped out first followed by Koneko a moment later. There was four people in total, one rook and 3 pawns. One of the pawns was Mira, the girl who attacked Issei and i responded by breaking her stick. She had a new one at least. I knew that they were these pieces because we were shown pictures beforehand.

"Zirnitra, you ready?"

{I sure am.}

I summoned my gauntlet to my left arm and readied myself by pointing my sword at the enemy.

"Sora, i'll take care of the rook. You deal with the pawns."

"You get me Koneko. The more the merrier."

I smiled and pushed off towards the pawns to realise that the twins were holding chainsaws. For two little girls, it was a weird sight to see. As i approached, they started up their chainsaws.
I stopped a few meters away from them and activated Overlimit.

"Let's get started ladies. Overlimit!"

The pressure from the wind that spewed out from me smashed all the windows in the gym before the gold aura formed on me.

"So, would you like me to defeat you right now or savour the fight?"

"Defeat us right now ... if you can."

My eyes sparkled from the challenge. I could finally use my new mystic arte.
Mira charged at me first and i reacted by blowing her back with a standard arte, azure edge. It was a simple shock wave attack created by my sword.
I moved in closer and used Lone wolf strike, the spectral wolf was green this time as put wind magic into it to increase the knock back to push Mira into the twins.
It worked and they fell to the ground.

"This is it girls."

I took a deep breath and they froze. I got a gasp from the rook who was being pinned by Koneko so she couldn't attack me.
This time it was a simple Mystic arte but it utilized Evolutio. I bent my legs a little and spread my arms out, as i jumped into the air the three pawns moved with me.

"Razing Phoenix!"

The sound of a phoenix echoed from within me and an orange spectral phoenix formed in my shape but double in size and burned the girls before time around them started again.
They dropped to the ground making a sizable crater.
As the three pawns left the field through becoming blue particles i laughed in excitement, "Hahahaha, It worked. The power of the phoenix ain't so bad."

(Three of Raiser's pawns have retired.)

By the time i had finished laughing, the rook had got away from Koneko and charged at me. But was stopped by a triple kick to the abdomen. Koneko followed up by smashing her head into the ground causing her to retire as well.

(One of Raiser's rooks have retired.)

"Sora, Koneko. How are you doing?"

Rias' voice came into my ear after the announcements.

"We are fine, ready for more action."

I ran out of the gym followed by Koneko. I took a few strides forwards before i was blown a few feet away by an explosion. I turned around to see Koneko lying on the floor, her clothes in tatters.

"Koneko, you ok?"

I rushed over to her and lifted the top half of her body off the ground.
Before she could reply her body started to disappear.

(Rias-sama's rook has retired.)

I turned round and stared at the assailant whilst Akeno dropped down in front of me. It was Raiser's Queen. She did this to Koneko. She had to pay.

"Sora-san, I'll take care of her. You go join up with Kiba and Issei."

As Akeno said this, she flew back up into the air and started her fight with the other Queen.
As i moved towards the track, Grayfia's voice popped up again.

(Three more of Raiser-sama's pawns have retired.)

As her announcement finished i met up with the two who forced them to retire. We made our way to the track field and we came across one of Raiser's knights.

"I'm the knight of Raiser Phenix-sama, Carlamaine! I've grown bored with the strategies! State yourselves so i can pick one to duel!"

"I'm Okami Sora, Knight."

"I'm the pawn, Hyoudou Issei."

"I'm the other Knight, Yuuto Kiba."

"Which of you Knights will i fight?"

I stepped back and gestured Kiba to fight. I didn't want to take her on, she sounded like a nutcase.

"I'm happy that there are warriors like you 3 in Rias Gremory's group. Coming directly at me, that's something sane people wouldn't do."

I would have to agree, me and Issei weren't the most sane people here.

The two drew their swords and started their fight. It seemed more than a dance than a fight. Despite being in that clunky looking armour, the knight moved quite gracefully. Kiba did as he always did, but he did try using Beast which caught the Knight off guard but not enough to make her stagger. It angered her more than anything, she fought back quicker and stronger.

"You seem bored."

I turned around to see the other rook walking towards us. She wore a mask that just covered the whole of her face.

"Geez, She only thinks about swords. Their match looks so boring. Carlamaine was looking pretty angry when the pawns were being sacrificed."

Raiser's sister stepped out from behind the rook. She still had her blonde drills but this time she was wearing a dress which showed that she was a Bishop. She stared at Issei with weird eyes.

"So that's the pawn. Does Rias-sama have bad taste in gentlemen? Ones ugly and the other is a sword freak."

"Don't forget about me." I said to her while smiling.

"Oh sorry, I can't forget about the cute wolf boy who complimented me."

She said back to me while blushing. She was quite the flirt, just like her brother. Issei jumped into a stance ready to fight. The rook responded by taking a stance.
I stepped to the side and the Bishop did the same.

"I know you are cute and all but are we going to fight? We are enemies."

"No, i don't fight."

"That's good, i won't have to hurt your pretty face now."

As i said this i couldn't help but feel like i was going to be shouted at by Koneko. My personality is a bit weird, i wonder why i'm so nice to some girl but cold and nasty to everyone else. Must be the animal in me.

{Mates. You are being nice to the girls you want as mates.}

'Really?! *Sigh* i guess that's as good a reason as any.'

{No retaliation from you. What's wrong?!} Zirnitra screamed in my head.

'Fighting, i wan't to witness the moment Issei is defeated.'

{I feel the same way about Ddraig.}

As Issei and the rook started fighting, i transformed into a wolf and nudged the blonde Bishop.

"Huh? Who are you?"

"I'm the wolf boy, Okami Sora. I haven't heard your name yet."

"Oh, sorry, I'm Ravel Phenix."

"Why are you apart of your brother's peerage?"

"He tricked me really. He initially said it was to keep me safe but once i became his Bishop i found out otherwise. He wanted to have a sister character in his harem, so he decided why not my actual sister. But i am supposedly just here for fashion, he isn't the sister-moe type supposedly."

"Hmm ... So he is as much of a dick as i thought. Not giving his sister the respect she deserves, he really is a self-centered guy."

Viewing area - Sirzech's PoV

"Sitri-san, What is Okami Sora anyway?"

"Just a normal human with two Sacred gears, Triumphant wall and Evolutio."

"Hmm ... Triumphant wall contains Zirnitra the Black Titan Dragon if i recall, but this Evolutio, i've never heard of it before."

"Me neither, Sirzechs-sama. It allows Sora to transform into any creature he has sufficient knowledge about, but other than that we know nothing. Haven't been able to get any data on it."

"I wonder, is it one we haven't come across yet or is it something that Azazel made?"

Sora's PoV

Kiba and Issei were back to back fighting their opponents. Kiba hadn't been pushed back, Issei had spent his time dodging so he could boost.
What happened next surprised me too much for words, it also caused me to cover my eyes. Dress Break, Issei's new move. The ability to take girl's clothes off using his magic.

"Issei! You know what's happening to you when this is finished now right?!"

I shouted at him angrily. I hope that he either stops being so perverted or that i don't get angered by this anymore.

[Shoooooot!]

Ddraig's voice radiates out of the gauntlet as Issei shoots his built up energy making the rook retire. The same happens with Raiser's knight, Kiba activated his Sacred gear and caught the knight by surprise striking her with multiple swords.
Sword birth, the ability to make any demonic sword he wanted. Swords rose up from the ground and struck the knight in all her limbs as well as her body. Both the rook and the knight retired at the same time.

(Raiser-sama's knight and last rook have retired.)

Before Issei and Kiba could get their breath back Grayfia's voice sounded again.

(Rias-sama's queen has retired.)

Issei and Kiba stood in surprise. Akeno must of been strong or something. The rest of Raiser's peerage came out to meet us. Two pawns, one knight and his other Bishop.

They didn't fight with us straight away but informed us of something.

"Look at the roof."

I turned my head to the roof and saw Rias fighting Raiser with Asia standing back assisting Rias. I sighed, i knew she would do something reckless.
Asia's voice then came from the earpieces.

"Issei, Raiser challenged Buchou to a duel and she accepted it. Thanks to that we got to the roof with no problems."

Issei was making a clueless face before Ravel spoke to him.

"Onii-sama made a challenge since you guys were doing well, it was unexpected. If we fought normally it would have been our win, so he gave her pity. At this rate she will be defeated before you fight him. Ohohoho."

Ravel started laughing, it was starting to piss Issei off so i decided to add to the flame.

"I agree with things being unexpected, i'm surprised Issei hasn't retired yet. I thought for sure that he would be taken out first."

I then joined Ravel in laughing.

Before Issei can retaliate, there is an explosion where Kiba stands, after the smoke subsides Kiba forms blue particles and retires. Raiser's queen comes over after retiring Kiba.

(Rias-sama's first knight has retired.)

"Well he's as weak as the other two were. The 'lightning queen' was no where near as strong as i expected. The nekomata was weak as well, more like a mouse than a cat..."

I snapped, i cut the queen's sentence as i started to pour out my aura, it was full of killing intent. I turned to Issei.

"Go help Rias-sama now! I'll deal with this insolent bitch and the others."

As Issei ran off Ravel followed him. I then turned to the Queen.

"You can insult Issei, Kiba and Akeno as much as you want. I couldn't care less about them, but the moment you start trash talking Koneko is where i draw the line."

"Ha, you are just like her anyway. Useless animal."

"Useless animal, you say. I wonder if you become useless with one arm." As i said this i jumped at the queen and bit down on her shoulder as hard as i could.

Snap! I heard her bones break as i fell back down to the ground with the Queen's left arm in my mouth. I spit it out before speaking.

"You are looking pretty useless now with only one arm. Hahahahaha"

The queen was staring at me horrified. One of the twin beast girls shouted at me.

"You monster. You'll pay for that."

"Monster? You haven't seen anything yet?"

"Let's end this! Evolutio: Demonic Wolf form!"

Black energy engulfed me for a couple of seconds then exploded leaving me in my new form on the ground.
My silver fur and now turned black with blood red tips, with fangs were longer and stained with blood. My eyes had changed to a blood red whilst my paws had gotten bigger to fit my new claws.
A second later, my devil wings burst out of my back and i was now flying staring down my opponents. They were staring at me so scared they couldn't move.

I took this chance and charged. I decided to end the queen first. I bit down on her right shoulder, as i bit i felt no resistance at all and her right arm came off with a snap. I pushed her to the floor with my paws and moved to the pawns and did the same to them, but this time i also clawed at their legs and cut their tail's off. Bones breaking echoed throughout the stadium causing Rias and Raiser to stare down in me as i rip Raiser's servant to shreds.
Finishing with his pawns, i moved to the bishop. She was rather frail looking to begin with so i left her as she sat in fear hiding her eyes. I spat the last remaining arm to the pile of limbs which had now grown.

"Raaaaooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh! I haven't felt like this for a long time." I roared as i stood on top of the knight staring into her eyes looking at her expression.

She was frightened, quite rightly so, they deserved to be scared this badly to underestimate me. With this one, i decided to torture her a little before taking her arms away from her.
I put poison in my claws and scratched each of her limbs slowly with my left paw before biting off her armour which used to cover her torso. I then used my right claw to attack her stomach, leaving random claw marks all over her chest with blood slowly oozing out.
After finishing with my torture, i decide to destroy her shoulders at the same time. I turned around so my back end was over her face and i lifted my hind legs about half a meter above her face, then i smashed my hind legs down in her shoulder shattering her bones. Raiser's knight squirmed about on the floor writhing in pain

"Let me end your misery, but i don't know if it'll kill you."

I flew up into the air, i was about level with the rooftop as Rias, Raiser and Asia were still watching me.

"Zirnitra, Appear" Zirnitra's head appeared in the sky and roared. He opened his jaw and lightning was crackling around slowly turning black.

"Black Dragon Lightning!" The lightning then cascaded out of Zirnitra's mouth and smashed into the remains of Raiser's servants creating a massive crater showing the some of the destruction that Zirnitra could cause.

"Thanks, buddy. Now it's time to watch them go."

I flew back down to the ground and spoke to the bodies as they started to glow.

"That's what you get for trash talking someone i like. If you weren't so conceited, i wouldn't of had to humiliate you. Scum! Just like that pathetic excuse of a man you call your master."

(Raiser's last remaining pawns, Knight, bishop and queen have now retired.)

I collapsed in the crater due to fatigue.

"Heh ... that must of taken a lot out of me. I did my best Rias-sama. You better win this Issei."

I passed out and turned into blue particles and exited the fight.

(Rias-sama's last knight has now retired!)

Issei's PoV

As i entered the main corridor of the new school building, the ground shook violently. I felt my heartbeat quicken for a few beats, i had met the criteria to promote.

"Promotion, Queen."

Power started to build inside my body and i set off down the corridor to find the stairs to the roof. Once i found the door i slipped and fell, my legs gave way and couldn't feel them anymore.

"Heh ... that must of taken a lot out of me. I did my best Rias-sama. You better win this Issei."

Sora's voice quietly came through the earpiece and before i could reply to him the connection cut off.

(Rias-sama's last knight has now retired.)

He did well to take out so many people. His skills isn't just for show, i wish he would just lighten up around me though and stop being so strict. I shook my had and pressed on up the stairs. I can't think about anything but helping Buchou settle this now.
I had to get to the rooftop even if i had to crawl. All of my comrades were now gone, i was now the only person left to help Buchou. I stood up and ran to the rooftop whilst shedding tears and blood. When i reached the rooftop the sword Sora gave me had disappeared probably due to him retiring. I opened the door to the roof while taking a deep breath.

"Buchou, i'm here."

Asia looked at me straight away, it took a few moments for Raiser or Rias to look at me. They were staring at the field where Sora was. I made my up to the top of the roof and stood in front of Buchou ready to fight Raiser.

Raiser clicked his tongue at my arrival.

"I hoped the wolf boy would of come here instead of you, but now im glad he didn't. He was quite scary, an actual monster."
Buchou fired a shot at Raiser and it took his left arm off, but it just regenerated straight away.

"Rias, resign. Your best bet has just retired, if you carry on you will make your father and Sirzech-sama look bad. It's checkmate, Rias."

I couldn't help but agree with him. I could barely stand and his regeneration ability was too damn quick to make any progress. I gained some confidence though from Buchou, who just glared at Raiser.

"Shut it, Raiser. I won't give up! I, the King, am still here, so the show must go on."

Buchou then laughed, if she says that then i'll fight till i can't move anymore. I readied myself to fight again before Raiser speaks to me.

"Come at me then, Dragon brat. I guess you'll have to make up for the wolf boy."

I charge at Raiser but drop to the floor soon after setting off.

[Burst]

I spurted out blood. My body started to feel heavy, my consciousness began to fade. The light started to disappear from the jewel, but i couldn't give up. I stood back up and charged at Raiser.
He beat me down, again and again. With each punch he dealt, i coughed up a lot of blood. Asia tried to heal me but Raiser sent her flying with an attack causing her to retire.

(Rias-sama's Bishop has retired.)

Bastard! I have to keep fighting!

"Issei, Stop! If you try to fight anymore you'll die."

I didn't answer, i just walked forwards slowly. I collapsed before i could reach him. Buchou turned me around and i looked at her face. She was crying. She lay me down then stood in between me and Raiser.

"Thank you Akeno, Yuuto, Koneko, Asia ... Issei ... and Sora. Thank you for fighting for me."

The tears started to flood out of Buchou's eyes.

"It's my loss, I resign."

Raiser smirked and i lost my consciousness.

My first Rating game and it was a loss. I will never forget this.

Sora's PoV

{Kid, Wake up!}

'What? Stop shouting, what happened?'

{Rias resigned. You guys lost.}

'WHAT?! Why?'

{Raiser nearly killed Issei.}

Before i could reply i woke with a cold sweat and saw someone next to my bed in a dress.

"Hey there Sora, You are awake now. I was getting worried, it's been a few days since the 'Rating Game'."

"Sona-sama, hey ... i feel ashamed of myself." I looked down towards my sheets before looking around the room to find out i was at home.

"Well, Do you want to save Rias?" Sona asked me.

"Yes but i also want to fight Raiser. I want him to know if i was there instead of Issei then he would of lost."

"Then go, here, this will bring you to the hall. She'll be waiting." Sona said this and left through her own magic circle.

I immediately got up and dressed again, this time i left my sword in its stand. I walked over to the door and opened it.

"Hey pops, i'm going to crash a wedding. I'll be back later." i shouted down the hallway.

"Hahaha, do me proud son." Gofannon chuckled as he shouted back at me.

I closed the door and took the magic circle to the hall.

Once i finished teleporting, i opened my eyes to find myself in a long, white corridor. I heard a lot of noise coming from down the hall, it sounded like a party and my destination.
I arrived at the door and pushed it open violently.
I entered the room and everyone stared at me. I looked out of place. I was wearing a black t-shirt and jeans with Silver high tops, whilst everyone else was wearing suits or dresses depending on the gender.
I saw the rest of the Gremory group to my right as i entered they were standing with Sona and the rest of her peerage. I walked over to them and said hi as the room now got louder mainly from relatives questioning me and my entrance. Before i could get comfortable, 6 guards were behind me pointing their spears at me. I turned around to them and shook my head.

"Well, i don't have time for you." I jumped over them and in mid jump i transformed into a wolf and ran up to the altar where Rias and Raiser was. I transformed back before speaking.

"Hello Raiser, I'm here to fight you seen as you didn't get the luxury to be ripped apart like your servants did. Which i'll apologize for but they brought it on themselves ... well the queen did."

I stepped back as a red haired man stepped forward.

I growled at him, "So you must be Sirzechs. I propose a duel between me and Raiser, the winner gets Rias-sama."

"Haha, you are quite the untamed puppy. But i'll allow it, and the prize, i'll give you back Rias if you win."

"...Puppy..." I glared back at him as i gritted my teeth together.

"Well then Raiser, how about it? Wolf vs. Phoenix."

"Sounds good to me, anyway i couldn't say no to you Sirzechs-sama."

"One thing before we start, It if was Wolf vs. Phoenix then it would be too easy for me. So it'll be a fair fight, Phoenix Vs. Phoenix."

Everyone stared at me.

"Evolutio: Phoenix!"

My eye flashed and my devil wings erupted out of my back and glowed orange before turning into flames just like Raiser's. My forearms and bottom half of my legs were now covered in an orange flame.

We were then teleported to a new battlefield. It looked like an old fashioned arena, like the Colosseum in Rome.

"Raiser, You ready?"

"Yes, Sirzechs-same."

"Sora, Are you?"

"You bet i am."

"Ok then, start!"

Sirzech gave us the signal and we started. It started out like tennis. Rounds of fireballs flew at each other taking out our arms before regenerating a second later.

"Ha, this ability to regenerate is impressive. Shame you rely too much on it."

"What?!" Raiser shouted as he threw another fireball in response.

"You are too cocky for your own good. You rely on your ability as a phoenix to win your battles instead of training yourself and your servants better. You sacrificed them like they were nothing, if you used them as more as something to play with sexually then you would be a better king." I answered him and threw a fireball back as well.

Raiser's rage grew and his wings flared up increasing in size.

"Oh, you are angry. It's seems you stepped your power up a little, it's a shame it'll be for naught."

'Ready, Zirnitra?'

{Always partner.}

"Alright, Sacred Gears Combine. Evolutio: Black Phoenix!"

The flames around my arms and legs changed black and gave off their own menacing aura. My wings grew bigger, they took the shape of my dragon wings but stayed as flame. My wings had now changed black as well.

I fired to black fireballs at Raiser taking his arms off and cutting into his body as well.

His ability to regenerate were now taking their time to bring his arms back. Raiser was surprised by my new power. I fired more fireballs at him as soon as his arms started to form back. I was now pushing Raiser back.

"You ready to give up, Fake Phoenix?"

"Not yet, you bastard?"

"Fine, Burn!"

I lowered my hands to my side, black fire formed in my hands. I put my hands side by side and aimed them at Raiser. The flurry of black fire grew and grew until it was around a metre in diameter.

"Infernal Darkness!"

I shot the fire at Raiser, it attacked him like a tornado. Raiser put up a magic wall to defend himself but it lasted a second before breaking and allowing my fire to pass. The fire struck him and sent him flying back and crashing him against the back wall.
The fire continued to attack Raiser as it exploded after connected with the wall just above Raiser causing the wall to collapse on top of him knocking him out.

"The winner is Sora, the engagement between Rias Gremory and Raiser Phenix is now called off."

I flew over to where Raiser's body lay and cleared to rubble and pulled him out and lay him on the ground as his sister approached.

"Hey Ravel. He's ok, just a little burnt from my flames. If you ever get bored with how he is treating you, come to the human world. I'll look after you for a while."

I patted her head and smiled as she blushed.

"Thank you for teaching my brother a lesson, this is for you."

She kissed me of the cheek and picked her brother up and flew him to get medical treatment.
I reset my form and brought my dragon wings out and flew up to Rias and Sirzech. I dropped down in front of them, Rias was ecstatic and she was staring at me wings.

"I can finally use them to fly now. Sirzechs, i won. You will allow me to take my master back, right?" I said the first part to Rias before stepping towards Sirzech and speaking to him.

"You've got balls, Sora. Are you not scared of a Maou?"

"It's more of i'm not scared of you because i guess you are like Rias, seen as you are family. Plus you are not my master so i won't speak nicely to you until i'm told to."

"I like you. You better keep my sister safe."

"I will." I stare into his eyes to enforce my statement.

"Good, take this to go home. The Phenix family won't be so happy about this."

I take this piece of paper with a magic circle on and turn to Rias and the gang. I put my wings away and speak.

"How was the show?"

"Great, i suppose it makes up for what you did in the 'Rating Game'." Sona replies to me whilst the rest nod at her statement.

"Doesn't make up for anything! No one talks trash about a friend!" I shout in response to Sona.

"So, we aren't friends Sora?" asked Issei.

"Hell no, you haven't done anything praise worthy. Also, you are perverted at every chance you get. What's up with that Dress break anyway?!" I shout back at Issei, rage filling my eyes.

I turn to Rias and calm down before talking to her.

"Rias-sama, let's go home." I smiled and the piece of paper shined and once the light dimmed down a griffon appeared next to us.

"I guess, i can turn into one of these now too." I said this as i helped Rias up onto the Griffon before taking my place and getting ready to set off.

"Guys, we will see you back in the club room tomorrow." Rias told them then looked at me and we set off for home.

I flew the griffon at a moderate pace so i could take in the scenery. The next thing i knew Rias kissed me on the cheek, twice.

"What was that for, Rias-sama?" i asked her, my cheeks went red in embarrassment.

"The first one was for saving me and the second one was because i was jealous. I saw it when Ravel kissed you."

"Hmm .. so i'm thanked by being kissed. It's not bad." I smirk.

"Also Sora, when we are in school and are alone i want you to call me Rias. Leave the sama out." Rias pleaded to me.

"I can do that, but what will i have to do if i save you from another arranged marriage?" I chuckled as i said the last part.

"I dunno ... we might have to go further." Rias said quietly.

I thought the last part wasn't for me to hear so i acted like i didn't hear it and i just brought her closer towards me. I make the griffon pick up the speed and it was quiet for the rest of the way as Rias just clung onto my shirt.

From that day on, my house life got a hell of a lot busier.

Ok, this chapter is out a day early because i was free today and i'm gonna be busy the next few days and i won't have much time to write the next chapter. The next to chapters will be side stories containing two different side stories per chapter.

The first one should be out in four or five days. I'll see you then. The chapter's will now be around the same length as this one, but if they need to be longer because of the fight scenes, then so be it.

I hope the ravaging scene was ok. Hopefully i didn't go to far with it.
