A sudden gunshot went off nearby, someone fired a gun the sound of a revolver, firing only one round and send someone blood spilling to the ground and they would end up falling to the ground dead. The Sekirei's above are shocked to see what just happened, they didn't see it coming.

Rayne stood where he was while Riser on the other hand ends up falling to the ground, having a bullet hole through side of his head and when collapsing to the floor his eyes still stays open and blood started spilling down on the road.

Rayne just stood there looking down at Riser then would hear someone screaming out. "Riser!" This got him to look up noticing Ravel flying down then lands nearby and started running over to him, crouching down when she got close and notices that blood spills out of his head.

"Riser…. Riser…."

Rayne will turn to the side to where that shot came from "Who did that?"

A man stood nearby lowering his revolver then places it away, showing this man looks similar to Rayne but slightly different from appearances. He appears as slightly older than Rayne, he wears a long black and red coat with a red zip-up hoodie/vest underneath this coat, a navy muscle-shirt beneath that, and a pair of dark blue pants. His hair is black and shows a bit of red strikes on it, his hair is short like Rayne's and is spiked up and his eyes are blue. He doesn't seem to wield a weapon other than the revolver, once he placed it away he will turn back and started walking off.

"Hold it!" Rayne shouts out looking at him, causing him to stop "You come here and kill a guy cold blooded… Then you just leave?"

The man will turn his head to the side but he doesn't say a word, the man will walk off and Rayne will draw out both his guns to fire, just when he was about to fire he started seeing devil wings spreading then started using them as a shield from behind. Rayne will fire rapidly at him but only hitting his wings and not piercing through him., he kept firing until the man creates a symbol and teleports himself out of there, Rayne was about to spread his wings to chase however a sudden change occurred when he noticed a symbol appearing in front of him causing him to stop.

Azazel will make an appearance standing in front of Rayne with his hands in his pocket looking back to him. "Azazel…"

"Rayne…" He looks behind him seeing the Sekirei's and Rossweisse landing to the ground near Riser's body. "So Riser is dead…."

"I know what you're thinking Azazel and I didn't kill him."

"Rayne… You –" He notices some disturbance happening in the sky, the large energy dome surrounding the city started flickering like a light losing its power. "The dome…"

Rayne will look up and so does the others seeing the energy field finally fading as the tournament has finally ended with only one Ashikabi left on the field, giving them a chance to finally leave this place along with the monsters that dwells out here. With the energy field gone the monsters that still hide and roam the streets can now get out, they can now attack the MBI forces on the exits of the city.

"The shield is gone… But that means that…" Rayne looks back to Azazel

"It means that this tournament has ended." He walks past Rayne "Congratulations Rayne, you won the fight. Killing Riser was the only way of really breaking the seal."

"But I didn't kill him Azazel." He said to him seeing him started walking towards the body of Riser "This is not what I wanted… This is not how I wanted this to end…"

"Tell me…" He looks back to him "Would you even care if he lived or died?"

"…." He turns his head away not answering that question of his

"It doesn't matter; it won't be long before they go pointing fingers at someone and that someone is going to be you…"

"But…"

"But Rayne is innocent…." Musubi said looking at Azazel "We saw this man shoot Riser through the head, Rayne would never do such a thing."

"Someone did leave this site but I didn't see him so there is no proof to believe someone else shot him. The problem now is that a challenge took place here between Rayne and Riser in a game that wasn't a Rating Game. A death of a powerful devil, having his Sekirei's and servants defeated. Others may think of this as an act of aggression by a devil who left his king to be a freelancer for a time, he is the only one who wields guns here so they will start pointing fingers at Rayne."

"And since your all close to Rayne…" Rossweisse looks to the Sekirei's then to Azazel

"You cannot help... Unless…" He looks down to Ravel who still crouches there looking down at Riser

"Ravel…"

"Hmmmnnn…" Azazel looks up at the sky then looks back to Rayne "I'm sorry Rayne… I guess this is not how you wanted your victory to be."

"…." He takes a few steps back and notices a lot of symbols appearing on the ground and in the sky, appearing before them are devils and have their eyes upon Rayne.

"I'm sorry Rayne…" Azazel walks over to him "You have to come."

"But I didn't do it!" He looks to Ravel "Ravel… Tell them I didn't kill Riser."

Ravel will slowly get up and turns towards Rayne with the face of anger and hate. "You made him vulnerable to get killed… This is all your fault!"

"Ravel…" Rossweisse looks back to her

"We are not going to let them take Rayne." Musubi said standing ready to attack

"I agree." Tsukiumi said creating her water "I shall defend my husband with my last breath."

Azazel looks back seeing them all preparing to engage the devils causing the ones in the sky and the ones nearby to turn their attention to them, all ready to fight but not ready to engage. Azazel will turn his head back to Rayne while he stands there. "You have a choice here Rayne, fight here and you will end up being guilty, you and your friends will be force to fight us here and all charges will be put on you and your friends. You can spare your Sekirei's and all of this, if you come with me and I promise you I will stand by your side."

"…" He looks down for the moment while his Sekirei's stands ready to fight with all they got, Rayne will picture himself with Akeno when they had their first moment together seeing her having a smile on her face and so does he. He takes a deep breath before he looks up and shouts out. "My Sekirei's!"

All of them will turn towards Rayne. "Stand down… That is an order."

"Rayne…" Matsu said quietly

"It's over…"

"We can't just let them take you Rayne!" Tsukiumi shouts to him "You're our Ashikabi, we live only to protect you."

"If you want to protect me then you just got to have to trust me!"

"…."

"Now stand down… I will be alright, just stay put…" He looks back to Azazel then looks back as a few devils started moving closer to him

"Discard your weapons to me…" Azazel lends his hand out "I will take care of them…"

Rayne will be force to accept surrender even though this is a mistake for him, but if he fights then that is what the Hero Faction wants him to do. Rayne must surrender his handguns to Azazel and will also surrender his two rings, he was about to hand over the blade of Fenrir that he took from Riser however he noticed it was gone, he could have dropped it during the fight or the others must have it. Azazel will keep his rings and getting the devils to finally apprehend him, he will let them do this and must face a problem that talk is the only thing that he can do.

Rayne looks over to his Sekirei's when they started getting closer, they will end up stopping when devils appear in front of them. "I will be ok… Go back to the inn, you all did your best and I thank you all…" He closes his eyes and looks slightly down.

Azazel walks closer to Rayne then back to the others "I will take care of this…"

"You better be…" Musubi said

"Rossweisse!" Rayne shouts to her "If you see Rias and the others…. Tell them I'm sorry, I screwed up and I failed them."

After that Azazel will create a teleporting symbol underneath them, teleporting them out of here and so does all the devils in this place. Riser and his peerages will also be teleported out of there, all sent back to the underworld to return to the Phenex clan while Rossweisse and the Sekirei's stands alone here without their Ashikabi.

In half an hour later Rayne will be escorted into a dark circle room where he will see a few devils in the room, the only one that got his attention was Grayfia since she is the only one who made an appearance long ago, she the one who sent Rayne smashing through a wall due a comment he said to her. She still wears her maid outfit and stands next to someone who sits on a throne, leaning to the side of his head on his fist while his arm is on the throne arm. Someone else stands nearby who wears formal clothes with a black suit and an orange tie, having short blonde hair and green eyes.

Azazel will walk over to Grayfia and her husband Sirzechs that sits on his throne looking at Rayne, Azazel looks back to Rayne while Rayne stares at Sirzechs for a while then looks at Grayfia then back to Sirzechs. "Your Sirzechs Lucifer, Rias' brother."

"So you have heard of me.." He would lean back

"Kind of… I know you married her." He looks to Grayfia "The queen of Annihilation…" He looks back to Sirzechs "And brother to Astaroth…"

"Astaroth… Rayne I do like to congratulate you for killing Astaroth and stopping a serious war, but Astaroth should have been brought to face justice."

"Astaroth needed to die… that son of a bitch needed to be executed."

"Astaroth was once my brother, he wanted more and in the end we had to turn against him. He thought he could save Rias by butchering your family and giving you to turn your fate elsewhere, true he went too far on butchering your family but still he –"

"Can we get to the point?" Rayne takes a few steps forward "I don't want to talk about him… He's dead, full stop. I want to get this stupid thing started."

"He's very eager to do this…" The man said taking a few steps forward towards Rayne

"Rayne this is Lord Phenex, leader of the Phenex clan and father to Riser Phenex."

"You're the one who defeated Riser… My son."

Rayne turns his head towards him "I didn't really have a choice here; it was either him or me… But I didn't end his life there, someone else did."

"Did you see the one who killed him?" Sirzechs said

"No… He vanished when you guys arrived…"

"So only your friends can testify on the actions that happened."

"Yes… And I really doubt Ravel will help me." He looks to Lord Phenex "I know Riser's friends will say something else. But I don't know why I am put on trial, the only way out of that dome was if one Ashikabi was left alive."

"And so we are stuck in a situation that one side will be telling the truth while the other will lie." Azazel said then looks to Sirzechs "So how are we going to do this?"

"I will go and see if Ravel is telling the truth or not." Lord Phenex said walking forward close to Rayne "If she is telling the truth and said that you killed him…." He looks to Rayne "Then we will be here for a while."

"Azazel will accompany you Lord Phenex, we don't want to deal with certain problems?"

"You don't trust me Sirzechs?" He looks back to him

"No but you know what I mean, you are about to go ask one of your family relatives about who killed Riser."

"Very well then. Azazel will come." He turns back to Rayne and says nothing to him, he then walks past him and heads out with Azazel walking after him.

"Relax Rayne." Azazel said to him tapping on his shoulder then walks out of the room with Lord Phenex.

Rayne will look back to Sirzechs and Grayfia "So what happens to me now?"

"You will stay put where you are in my house, locking you up won't be required since your useless without your guns and swords…"

"….."

"So I will ask someone to watch over you, she will make sure that you stay put around here."

"She?"

Sirzechs looks behind Rayne seeing the door opening "And there she is now."

Rayne will turn back and was at a shock for a moment as Rias Gremory comes walking right in the room, wearing her academy uniform on, walking over to Rayne then looks towards Sirzechs and Grayfia.

"Rias…"

"Rias will keep an eye on you, since this is going to be a while…" He stands up off his throne "I have places to be." He looks back to Grayfia "Come on honey."

"Yes."

Rayne and Rias will be walking out of there while Sirzechs and Grayfia will head off elsewhere, Rayne will say nothing to Rias as she hasn't said anything to him when she entered the room, she didn't even look at him. Rayne would know she is upset about him, he wanted to say something however he remains silent until finally Rias will stop in the hallway, she started opening a door that leads to her room, before she walks in she will turn back to Rayne.

"Uhm… Rias? –" He gets grabbed by her and pulls him in the room.

Rias will close the door then pushes him against the wall next to the door, she gets close to him so she can give him a kiss. Rayne was shock by this and had his eyes widen but he started kissing her back, wrapping one arm around her waist while she keeps kissing him. She will end up stopping and giving him a slap across the face.

"… Ow what the hell!?" He place his hand over his cheek

"You dumb idiot…" She said to him before giving him a hug. She wraps her arms around him. "I let you go for two months… And you end up causing so much trouble…"

"….." Rayne will have his eyes looking down, not hugging her back. "Does this mean you're going to abandon me?"

Rias will move back still having her arms around him "Abandon you? I would never lose my pawn; you will never abandon me."

"Hmn… There was a time I would…"

"It's really good to see you again Rayne…" She smiles at him

"I'm sorry that I caused trouble on you Rias, I didn't want this to happen but there was no other way. I had to fight Riser but I swear I didn't kill him."

"I believe you Rayne, I will always believe in my friends." She hugs him again "As long as you tell the truth and stay calm, everything will be alright."

Rayne will hug her back "I did miss you, you know that right?"

"Yes… I know… But… There's something else I need to know about"

"What is it?" He said while moving his hand through her hair and slowly move his hand down her hair

"What's all this about you having a couple of Sekirei's?"

"….." He stops and remains silent after that and turns his head to the side "Well uhm…."

Rias will move off of him and gives him yet another slap across the face yet again, having a red mark on the side of his face. She will turn around, having her back facing Rayne and has her arms crossed "I can't believe I left you for two months and you end up hooking up with a lot of women…"

"…" Rayne will just say nothing, having his hand covering the side of his face "It wasn't really my fault…"

Rias looks back "Oh sure you didn't have a choice… Why don't you explain to me of how you became an Ashikabi?"

"Well…."

After a while of explaining, Rias was about to give him yet another slap across his face however Rayne ends up grabbing her wrist to stop her, she was going to use her other hand but Rayne stops that too. Rayne looks at her seeing her having a sad look at him.

"You should have just stayed with us…"

"Rias…." He lets go of her, causing her to lean against him, having her face against his chest "I didn't know this was going to happen…"

"Does this mean I have to really let you go?"

"Let me go? I really doubt I can do anything right now after what happen."

"True…" She turns her head to the side "I really don't want you to go…"

"Rias I'm not going anywhere, I am not going to leave you guys be after what you all done for me, I told myself that after the Sekirei tournament is done I will come back to join you again as your pawn."

Rias looks up at him "Really?" She notices him nodding to her, giving herself a smile to Rayne then kisses him again.

Rayne kisses her back and then causes the two to get serious right now as Rayne ends up grabbing her legs and lifting her up, she slightly laughs and started pulling down his coat then started wrapping her arms around his neck. Rayne walks forward while still kissing Rias, trying to walk over to the bed in the room for the two to lie down on it, Rayne lies on top of Rias still making out with her, Rayne will lean his upper body back due to opening up her shirt then lies back down and started kissing her chest a bit causing her to sighs.

After an hour and a half later Grayfia started walking down the hallway trying to find Rayne and Rias, she will stop and notice Rayne leaning against the wall next to Rias' room. "Rayne, Sirzechs and the others are ready." She turns her head to the side seeing Rias walking out of the room, looking at her for a while then to Rayne "Come on." She will turn back then walks back to the throne room again.

Rayne looks back to Rias and started laughing a bit and so does she. "If I am guilty then it's a good thing we did that first…"

"Rayne…" She laughs too then hits his chest before walking after Grayfia.

Rayne stands back into the center of the room having a normal but serious look while Rias stays against the wall listening in on this, Grayfia stands next to Sirzechs yet again while Azazel and Lord Phenex stays together, standing near the others and looking towards Rayne.

"Both Azazel and Lord Phenex have spoken to the peerages of Riser's and after a while of discussing about the death of Riser, Ravel finally told the truth about what actually happened out there. Rossweisse also comment on an item that Riser stole from the hunters a while back, after they got killed he ordered his Sekirei's to retrieve the blade the Fenrir. Riser was prepared to use it on you correct?"

"Yes."

"Do you have this blade Rossweisse mentioned?" Azazel asks

"I'm afraid I do not have it; I must have dropped it during my fight with Riser or one of my Sekirei's retrieved it."

"Well it would be best to retrieve it, that blade should return to Asgard and the king. That blade of Fenrir is a tooth from that god slayer, if it gets in the wrong hands then any of us here can be killed with one stab by it."

"Don't worry… If my Sekirei's have it then I will keep an eye on the blade, I still have a few jobs left so I'm sure that blade can be useful to me."

"Rayne you can't use that blade on Kokabiel." Azazel said "Besides if the enemy finds out you have that blade; they will be coming for you with force."

"Oh come on can't I at least keep it for a –"

"Rayne…" Rias said to him causing him to look over to her "Give them the blade of Fenrir, you already got your hands on two powerful rings do you really need a god killing blade?"

"Well –"

"You are still my pawn and as your king I ask you to hand over the blade of Fenrir."

Rayne sighs and looks away "Fine, whatever…." He looks back to Sirzechs "Now back to the whole point."

"Oh right, what Ravel and the others said." Sirzechs looks to Lord Phenex

Lord Phenex sighs while having his eyes looking down then back to Rayne "It is now being told that Riser has been killed by you Rayne, however those who will be talking about this will be told that they are false. A Hero Faction member of the Khaos Brigade killed my son during your fight, for that I am removing all charges on you Rayne and work together with Sirzechs and the others on finding the man responsible for the death of Riser."

"Thank you…" He looks back to Azazel "Can I have my weapons back?"

"Azazel gave the weapons to me." Rias said "You will get them later Rayne."

"It better be all of them."

"Well that's all then." Azazel said "Rayne I'm sure you still got one more job to do in that city, I hope you get it done soon or else Vali will end up doing your job."

"And just remember that deal we talked about a while ago."

"Don't worry, I'll get it done."

"Alright Rayne your free to go, but can you at least try not to go sleeping with my little sister while trial is still going."

"….."

"brother!" Rias shouts to him seeing him laughing a bit while Grayfia sighs, Rias will end up turning back and walking out of there. "Let's go Rayne!"

"Uhm right…" He turns back and walks out of there

"Rayne." Lord Phenex calls out before Rayne could leave the room, Rayne would turn back towards him. "My son fought well did he not?"

"Yeah… Yeah he did fight well, but no offence I still hate him for killing one of my friends. He went too far on that."

"Then you have my condolences."

"Same here…"

"Let's go Rayne." Rias said looking back to him "Everyone is waiting." She turns back "Especially Akeno."

Rayne looks back to her "Akeno…" He started running after Rias.
