Gorou Hyoudou knew something was off the moment he and Miki entered the central ballroom that would be where the celebration for Rias's victory was to commence. After the Rating Game was over, as well as his son's first actual date, Gorou was beginning to believe things were starting to turn out for his family. However, that soon died before it could get any bigger. Miki was in a very nice dress tonight, something that was similar in appearance to her Shinto shrine priestess outfit but wasn't so formal or robe-like. He was in a regular suit but his combat armor and outfit were underneath the sunday best suit he was wearing.

He knew the moment he stepped inside the ballroom, the air grew way more tense. Something had set the rest of the room off, something along the lines of worry? His own senses were trained to notice if something like this was going on so he subtly moved himself and Miki towards the parents of Miss Gremory. Venelana and Zeoticus were softly speaking to one another in hushed voices, the mother of Rias looking a shade paler then normal. Zeoticus was stone faced, no emotion shown upon his visage.

"The Legionites were very thorough," Zeticus was saying as they approached, "something that was not a part of the family wards got in and then left through another method."

Venelana frowned, biting her lip as she hissed, "something like ancient black magicks?"

Zeticus grunted before shaking his head, "it was more like a ward bypass, a standard thief gadget."

Venelana sighed before grimacing, then she spotted both Gorou and Miki only a few steps away, "Oh! Hello Mr. and Mrs. Hyoudou!"

"Lord Gremory," Miki said graciously, bowing her head a little, "Lady Gremory, I hope you both aren't going to faint on us because the security system didn't go off?"

Both devils flushed before Zeoticus sighed, "someone bypassed the ancient wards, but a security system inside the house would be nice sometime."

Gorou nodded, "I know that a security system helps me sleep at night a little deeper, with Azula, Asia and my son in the house now. Still don't understand why Azula insists on the couch though."

Miki smirked before looking around at the other guests, eyebrows raised, "very few guests here tonight."

"Only those allied with or are close family to the Gremory Pillar are here tonight," Venelana said softly, looking around as well, "I did ponder sending an invite to Lord Abban and Lady Elizabeth but I got a letter first saying that they would be spending time with Riser in the hospital."

Gorou felt something was very off now, just as a side pair of doors opened to reveal the rest of Rias's peerage but their leader was missing. He spotted his son, Asia and Azula next, coming through the doors he and Miki had. The three were following Grayfia, the head of the maids of the Gremory family. Even she looked unsettled, though it only came from her body posture and eyes. Her emotionless face was clearly unable to show her worry, though he was beginning to believe that wasn't her natural state. She came up to their little group before bowing her head to Zeoticus and Venelana.

"My lord," She said softly, keeping her voice soft so it didn't carry, "I've sent the Legionites to look over every room in the manor to see if they can see what the intruders have done."

Gorou pondered before two people barged in, both wearing heavy coats and gas masks that gave the vibes of WWI soldiers. However, he also heard someone say "krieg", the German word for War. What did krieg have to do with them?

"My lords and ladies," The first Legionite said, gruff and muffled due to the gas mask, "I believe we have found the reason for the infiltration."

The other walks up and puts a orb upon a table, clearly trying to stay professional as the first continued, "All squads reported in and failed to find Heiress Rias Gremory anywhere within the manor. However, in her room, we discovered this orb that shouldn't have been there."

The orb glowed softly before lights came from it, creating a sort of screen for those in attendance. Standing there was Riser but something was very off, as his eyes were not the blue that most knew the young devil had. They were molten gold, a color that was very off putting as the man's face contorted into a sneer of derision.

"It seems that you found my orb," He said, his voice dripping with barely hidden contempt, "so now I can let this message play. Currently, you may have noticed that your precious Rias Gremory, victor of the pathetic show that was a "Rating Game', is missing."

Most of the audience was dead silent from this declaration as the screen panned over to show Rias chained up to the surface of some stone location. She was out cold and her outfit was a dark red wine dress, tattered and torn. Her limp form was clear for all to see as Riser regained their attention.

"Of course, since I now have my prize," He said, smirking, "you only have a limited time to get her back before I simply make her like one of my peerage. And once she falls, the others will follow. Though, I'm sure you'll want to know the rules for reclaiming her?"

Zeroticus was clenching his fists in silent fury, Venelana seething as her face was contorted into a sneer of contempt for the young man. All of Rias's peerage was in varying stages of anger while Gorou noticed his son along with Asia and Azula were silently watching. That was until he noticed what was in Riser's hand that made his blood run cold. A syringe with the letters "N-T-R" labeled neatly on the side along with a code of numbers, a code that would have detailed the dosage amount. From what Gorou could tell of the numbers, it was a dosage that was a hundred times the amount used on his sister all those years ago.

To a devil, who's very body was Sin itself, that was like putting them into a constantly aroused state with nothing to satiate it.

"For those that want to participate in trying to rescue her," Riser said, smirking darkly, "they cannot be of the three factions, first of all. Conflict of interest and all that, nor can they be a part of the Gremory family. I know how powerful Sirzech can be but even I know he has to follow the rules dictated by ancient magicks. They cannot have a sacred gear either, nor any participant be apart of any peerage under the Gremory line. Nor can they be of any major legends or have any legends associated with them, given that those that were put into the 'teachers room' in the game was Medusa and the Red Dragon Empress, I wouldn't be remiss in removing them from the board."

"This guy is clearly covering his bases," Miki muttered darkly, as Riser continued his rules, "he has most, if not all people excluded."

Gorou would have said everyone but something came to him as he stopped to think, realizing all the rules assumed that he was covering everything that would apply to the Supernatural world. Riser was smart, covering anything and everyone in that world but only one person stood outside of that. He turned and saw his son clenching his hands into fists, teeth gritted as he glowered at the message version of Riser.

"And finally," Riser concluded, smirking as everyone was silent, "no one can have any relationship with Rias. Even though it would be fun to see, no love interests here. If anyone that fits this criteria can come forward, let them come to my tower by placing their hand upon the sphere."

As the message ended, Gorou saw his son already moving towards the orb. It didn't take a genius to realize that Riser had overlooked something very, very important. Issei Hyoudou was neither a sacred gear user nor related to the Supernatural in any way. He carried a Sealed Gear, the only one in existence due to what it was sealing away. Quickly moving, he intercepted his son. Placing his hands on his shoulders, he looked into his son's eyes. Those brown eyes were tearing up, showing the vulnerable hurt he was feeling.

"Son," Gorou said, "you do know that if what he says is true, you will have to put down every single member of his peerage."

"I-I know," Issei hissed, a tear falling down his cheek, "they've been pushed past what Aunt…"

"Yes, I know," He held his son gently, "but you must know that not even a miracle could pull them from that place. The Holy nature of miracles would actually burn them alive then tear them apart. You have to put them down, no hesitation."

Issei looked at his own hands before curling them into fists, determination etching itself across his visage. Looking up once more, the tears had dried up before nodding as he hugged him. Gorou returned the hug before turning with his son towards the orb. Issei walked towards it, putting his hand upon the orb before he vanished in a flash of dark power.

"Issei is Rias's only hope," Gorou muttered before looking up at the screen as it shifted towards a sparse clearing, "good luck, my son."

Rias Gremory was starting to feel like the universe was against her in some form or fashion as she slowly felt herself return to consciousness. The first thing she noticed was that she was chained ankle and wrist, both of which suppressed her powers so she was as normal as a human would be. Just a long lived one that would look as sinful as the day she matured into a full grown adult woman. Opening her eyes, she was feeling the cold wind blow over her exposed legs and barely covered cleavage. She grimaced as she tried to fight off the cold before looking up to find Riser standing a few feet away.

She glowered in his direction before trying to remember what happened, oh yes, she had been kidnapped by Riser's maids. She was very upset over that but she had to push that down for now, she needed to focus on the here and now. She was chained to a place that was cold, open to the elements and Riser was here. She was not sure where she was very sure that she was not in the manor.

"So the heiress wakes up," Riser sneered before turning, his eyes a glowing gold color instead of the blue that she had come to associate with the monster from before, "it seems like they won't be rescuing you because of the magicks I used to ward this tower."

Rias sneered at Riser, "There are a couple I can count on to help."

"None of them can help you," He sneered right back, a hand reaching out and lifting her chin up, "I made sure of it, they wouldn't be able to find anyone to help you without being sent on a suicide mission. That is the long and short of it, little Rias. Soon, you'll be like the other girls in my life. A simple tool to use at my leisure, as will your peerage once you've become mine-"

Something made him stop as he looked up, anger and surprise boiling within his eyes as he snarled, "how did they find someone so fast? Unless of course its that Hyoudou boy, a lamb for the slaughter. No matter, he will die like the rest of those pathetic weaklings they'll send in."

Rias blinked before feeling hope blossom within her heart, Issei Hyoudou was coming for her. In a moment of need, she prayed that someone watch over him as he fought his way to her.

Issei yelled in shock as he dropped above the treeline, crashing through the canopy before striking the ground with a wet thud. Debris fell around him as his skin knit itself back together, groaning as his bruises vanished as well. Slowly getting to his feet, he looked around for anything that would help him find the tower the message spoke of. Of course, he couldn't see a blasted thing as it was dark and the trees, while spread apart from one another, covered the area above him. He was up a creek without a paddle, which is how he summed up his situation.

So, he moved deeper into the forest before noticing something about the trees. They were thinning out, meaning he might be closing in on his target. He was so focused on this fact that he didn't hear the revving of twin chainsaws until he was being attacked by the twin sisters, Ile and Nel. Both were very pale, eyes devoid of emotion and sympathy as they crookedly grinned at him.

"We found him, we found him!" They chorused, revving their weapons before attacking him once again.

Issei growled in frustration as he dodged away from Nel, only to nearly get his chest impaled upon Ile's blade. He stumbled back before trying to get some space, he needed to get space so he could defend himself. However, he wasn't fast enough as Ile was on him again, chainsaw slashing and roaring before finding his arm. With a spray of blood, muscles and bone, Ile took Issei's arm off. The little drugged up demon of a girl grinned feral at him, her chainsaw now dripping with his gore. Issei sneered darkly as he looked at the stump of his arm, grimacing at the pain before it started to regrow.

Ile looked shocked as his limb regrew bone and muscle before the golden gauntlet appeared upon his regenerated limb. He gave her a grin of his own before grabbing the blade of the chainsaw, the chain spinning and causing sparks as it tried to chew into his armored hand. In heartbeats, the chain broke, Ile screaming as the chain cut open her face from the recoiling chain. Issei tossed the useless weapon away, looking around for Nel. He turned, barely dodging out of the way of the chainsaw Nel thrusted towards him.

"You hurt my sister, you bastard!" she screeched, "I'll tear you apart then tear apart your family, leaving only your female relatives alive for my master!"

Issei's world froze as those words filled his head, which also gave the horror in his soul something else as well. Images of his mother, his cousins, his Aunt came unbidden to his mind. Riser, nude, was forcing himself upon his mother who was looking like some whore. Needles were scattered across the floor, all of them labeled "N-T-R". Issei's world froze in that moment before something brilliantly white and burning brighter then any supernova could erupted in his chest.

His vision turned half red, as he reacted. His first blow crushed the chainsaw before he backhanded Nel across the face. Her nose broke from the force of his strike as she crashed into a tree, gasping in pain as he felt his other hand grow its golden gauntlet. He stalked closer as the young girl slowly got up, blood oozing out of her broken nose.

"You won't touch them," Issei snarled, barely above a whisper as she blinked in horrified shock as he towered over her, "I won't let you turn my family into sex toys for your prick of a leader. I'll tear you apart with my bare hands before I ALLOW IT!"

He had to end her, violently. He had to hang her with her own body, the anger was consuming him completely and he was relishing in it. Issei wanted her to suffer for reminding him of what happened all those years ago, threatening to do the same to his mother, his cousins and forcing his Aunt back into that position. His gauntlet moved, tearing into her belly flesh. He ripped open her skin and muscles, fingers gripping her intestines as they tried to slip out of his grip. Nel's eyes went wide as her body tried to keep her alive, one of the pros of being a devil.

The con being that she saw her own death by Issei Hyoudou's hands.

He pulled her intestines out before wrapping it around her own neck, growling as he hung her on a branch that left Nel's feet two feet off the ground. She tried to scream but the organs throttling her kept the oxygen from getting out, blood and body fluids oozing and dripping off her dying form.

"NEL!"

Ile screamed before rushing at Issei, who turned with a bloodied gauntlet open. His hand rushed forward, claws open wide as Ile's face slammed into his palm. The claws stabbed into her skull as Issei lifted her off the ground, as her screams of panic and loss were muffled. Soon, blood was being pulled out of her body and through his claws. The life energy fueling his own body as he grinned darkly at the little Pawn of Riser Phenex, her struggling weakening more and more before going limp.

Issei grabbed the little corpse's throat before ripping her entire face off, hissing darkly as he tossed the face into the bushes for the creatures of the night to feast upon. He simply wanted their souls, as he grabbed the twins souls from the air and consumed them through his hands. Grinning darkly, he walked away from this site of the massacred Pawns.

With each step, he closed in on his target. With each step away from the brutally destroyed cadavers of Ile and Nel, a transformation slowly took over Issei. Anyone watching him could see it in his eyes, as the one crimson eye glowed brighter then ever. The other eye was also starting to become red as blood, but the brown was still there, Issei was in control but consumed by his own vengeance and his trauma.

That slickly grin on his lips, Issei stepped into view of the arcane tower that challenged those that dare to approach it. At the top, Rias was held and within its walls, more of the fallen peerage members waited for their own demise. Issei chuckled darkly before his emotions vanished, only one thing on his mind.

The need for revenge.
