The rating game raged on. Currently, Rias was ahead of Riser with more pieces on the board than him.

However, with the rooks pinned down, Four pawns battling a single rook and the knights lost somewhere in the battlefield.

The game was going to change, and soon.

Issei and Koneko got out from their cover and charged forward.

Kurozai had created an opening for them to get through and attack.

Issei threw Koneko like a shot put ball and sent her flying into the knight, allowing the two to fight in close quarters.

With Koneko fighting, Issei rallied up whatever minions he had left and took the fight to the pawns.

And Kurozai?

"Come on! You hit like a girl! Wait, sorry!"

Kurozai was taunting Riser's remaining rook, Isabella, and it seemed to be working.

"Do you ever stop talking!?" She shouted out as she dodged a punch.

"Nah, no fun in it!" Kurozai responded and sent a kick right to her chest. She caught the kick and flipped him up into the air. "Besides, how often do you get to fluster a cute girl?" Kurozai taunted again, causing Isabella to freeze for a moment before shaking out of it.

However it seemed to be too late as Kurozai hit the ground and launched one of the spikes from his left gauntlet at her.

Isabella caught the spike and scoffed. "What was this supposed to do, hmm?"

"This." Kurozai smugly said as he pressed down on a button on his left index finger.

The spike began to glow and hiss.

"W-?" Isabella managed to get out before the spike exploded in her hand.

"Riser Phenex's final rook has been retired" Sona spoke through the speakers.

Kurozai cracked his neck. "Alright! Who's up next?"

"One of Rias Gremory's Rooks has been retired!"

"What the hell!?" Kurozai shouted out and looked over at Issei. Koneko had vanished in a shattering of blue shards. "Damn it! Kalawarna, have you found Kiba?" He asked, placing his left gauntlet onto the side of his helmet.

"Yes sir, we are on the way over. Who was defeated?"

"Koneko got taken down. We're converting to contingencies 3. Relay this to Rias for me because I'm about to get busy!" Kurozai commanded and sprinted out to fight. "Yoo-Hoo! Forget about me!?" Kurozai shouted out and grabbed another set of twins. "What the fuck is it with this prick and twins? Has he not seen The Shining?"

Kurozai crashed their heads together with a solid Clack. He then squeezed their heads like a pair of watermelons and nearing the satisfying crunch-

"Two of Riser's Pawns have been retired." Sona announced as the twins vanished into the blue shards.

"Come on!" Kurozai shouted out. "Anyone worth fighting here? Or are you all for show?" Kurozai taunted.

"Fine then, you wish for a combatant?" A voice spoke from above Kurozai.

Kurozai looked up and then back down to the earth after he got a money shot of a pair of indigo panties.

"I am Yube- Why are you not looking at me?" The mystery woman asked.

"Your… uh… ahem… kinda flashing me." Kurozai said while still looking down, kicking a pebble next to his boots.

"Hm? OH! Oh shit, one moment."

"Yeah no, take your time."

The sounds of clothes rustling and only a moment later. "Okay you are good."

Kurozai looked up and sighed in relief. She had a pair of sport shorts on.

"AHEM! As I was saying! I am Yubelluna! The Bomb Queen, and I will be your adversary!" She announced and flew down to fight Kurozai.

"Alright then, bring it on!" Kurozai shouted out. He planted his hand onto the ground and the earth shot out from beneath him and launched Kurozai into the air.

Now in the air, Kurozai used Pyros to maneuver and switched to his sword to fight.

Back on the ground, Issei fought against the bishop, the last two pawns and the remaining Knight.

"Alright! Here we go! It's titty time!" Issei shouted out and dashed past the trio, touching them on his way through. A small magic circle appeared where he had touched them.

Issei snapped his fingers on his sacred gear. "Let's go, Dress Break!" Issei shouted out.

Kurozai and Yubelluna stopped their fighting to see just what Issei had done. "Qhat a perverted power!"

"I'll be right-" Kurozai's head butted the queen. "Back!" Kurozai shouted as he dropped down from the sky.

Kurozai hit the ground with a solid thud.

"Pyrosis!" Kurozai shouted and roasted the naked women, keeping his eyes shut until they were gone.

"Haha! See that boss? I did something cool!" Issei cheered.

Kurozai glared at him and began to sprint as though he was back on the track field.

Issei paled as he realized what was happening. "WAIT BOSS HANG ON!" Issei shouted as he ran away.

"Get back here!" Kurozai shouted and gave chase, confusing Yubelluna.

"One of Riser's bishops, the last two of Riser's Pawns and Riser's final Knight has been retired."

With Rias

Rias and Asia had snuck past the main battle field and were now slinking into the main school building. Inside they found themselves at the grand staircase. A large set of steps sat in the center of the room and spread to the wall and split in half reaching up to the second floor with railing along the second floor to look down at the first.

It was deathly quiet inside with the only audible sounds being the fighting from outside.

"Mittlet? Are you here?" Asia whispered out.

The light next to Asia shimmered and Mittlet stepped forward. "What do you need?"

"I need you to find Riser for us." Asia said in a hushed whisper.

"Why would you need to search for Riser when he's right here?" Riser's cocky voice filled the room as he referred to himself in the third person once again.

All eyes snapped up to the top of the stairway where Riser stood.

"Hello there my sweet Rias." Riser taunted, a sly grin spread across his face as he stared down at the group of two Generals and lone Devil.

"Riser, I knew you would have been crawling around like the bug you are." Rias insulted, her blood boiling just at the sight of the bastard.

"While I would normally be offended by that remark. Riser instead is here to offer his forfeit, however you must give the Overlord to me in trade." Riser explained as his face formed from the shit eating grin he once wore into a grimace at just the thought of Kurozai Kishi.

Rias was taken aback. "What?"

"Yes, while I understand It may be a shock to you… That Overlord has gotten on my last nerves with his incessant yammering. As such I am willing to forfeit my assured victory if you give him to me.." Riser explained.

Rias couldn't believe what she was hearing. A way out was being offered on a silver platter. It was almost too good to be true.

Rias shook her head. "How would I know you aren't lying to me Riser?"

Riser sighed. "By my title and position in the House of Phenex, you have my word that if you surrender the Overlord. I will surrender the game. A fair deal… is it not?"

Rias bit her lip as she began to think

Outside

Issei put his helmet back on. The welts on his face had mostly healed back up on their own.

"We are not done with this!" Kurozai shouted at his follower, who nodded furiously.

"Yes Sir!" Issei relented.

"Well, if it ain't the calvary!" Kurozai cheered. Kalawarna had arrived with Kiba and Akeno. "Let's beat this bitch sixteen ways till sunday!" Kurozai shouted out. "GET HER!" Kurozai commanded. Kalawarna carried Kiba to Yubelluna and fought in the air while Akeno provided magical support.

"Two of Rias Gremory's Pawns have been retired." Sona spoke out.

"That was Mittlet!" Kurozai shouted as his blood ran cold.

"BOSS LOOK!" Issei shouted, pointing to the top of the school roof.

Kurozai turned to where Issei was pointing. Asia stood in front of Rias with her shield absorbing multiple blasts of fire from Riser.

"It would have been so easy Rias! Give Riser the Overlord and you would have escaped this marriage you dread so much! But no, you had to have your loyalties!" Riser shouted as he threw another fireball at Asia.

"Damn it! We gotta get up there!"

"Two of Riser's Knight's and four of Riser's Pawns have been revived." Sona announced.

Kurozai looked forward and sure enough, six women appeared from magic circles.

"I am allowed my six resurrections!" Riser shouted as he continued putting the pressure on Asia. "And here they are! SKIN HIM ALIVE!"

Kurozai snarled at Riser and turned his attention to the six women. "Issei! Go stop that dick head, I'll stay here and fight them with the others!" Kurozai commanded. Issei looked up at Riser and then back down at Kurozai.

Issei scoffed and put up his fists while standing next to Kurozai. "Sorry boss, I'm not leaving you that easily!" Issei said, determination filling his voice.

Kurozai looked at Issei for a moment before smirking behind his helmet. "Besides that perverted shit, you're a stand out guy sometimes… You know that?" Kurozai complimented.

"Thanks boss!" Issei said with a wide grin. Then Issei's sacred gear began to glow brightly. The light faded and the crimson gauntlet was much darker. It grew in length and adorned two new gems, one yellow, and the other the same shade of green as the original gem.

[DRAGON BOOSTER, SECOND LIBERATION!]

"Whoa! It changed again!" Issei said, shocked.

Kurozai chuckled and wrapped his arm around Issei's shoulder. "If I knew you could get stronger with just a compliment, then I would have given you praise sooner!" Kurozai joked.

Issei looked at his sacred gear and nodded. "Boss! I need you to get a really strong spell ready!" Issei said, his voice filled with the same determination as before.

"What?" Kurozai asked. He looked at Issei's glowing green eyes behind the helmet. "Tch. Alright then! A strong spell huh? How about one of my strongest!" Kurozai said as he raised his gauntlet up into the air.

"It is by my birthright as an Overlord I command the earth, the people and the creatures that walk upon it! With humans, creatures and magical beings all fearing the Sins I wield. I command my enemies to quiver in their boots! Come to me, Overlordian Sin of Greed!" Kurozai spoke as an aura of golden energy surrounded him and his eyes flashed with a golden hue.

"May the wealth I receive never end! And may those beneath my feet see the riches I possess in my! GOLDEN RUSH!" Kurozai shouted as he drove his gauntlet into the earth, creating a golden light to shine across the battlefield.

"Alright! Here we go! SACRED GEAR!"

"TRANSFER!"

The earth quaked heavily. Then it slowly began to crack open with fissures pouring out spikes made from pure gold with two large spikes shooting out from the earth completely decimating the six Phenix peerage members.

"Two of Lord Riser's Knights, Four of his Pawns, and his final Bishop have been retired!" Sona shouted out from the speakers.

"BOSS! What the hell was that!?" Issei asked as he caught Kurozai, who had begun to stumble slightly.

"That my friend was one of the Seven Ultimate Tier Overlordian Spells!" Kurozai said as the golden aura around him vanished. "The second most destructive spell, Golden Rush!"

"Amazing!" Issei said, stunned at what covered the battlefield. "Wait, didn't sona also say that Riser's Bishop fell?" Issei asked, stumped.

Kurozai held his helmet, pondering for a moment. "I suppose so. Guess she must have been hiding from my awesome power!" Kurozai said with a laugh, then slapped Issei's shoulder playfully. "Now come on, we got a bird to roast!"

"Two of Rias' Knights and One Queen have retired."

Kurozai and Issei snapped their heads to Yubelluna who brushed some dust off her shoulder.

"A shame I had to use this." Yubelluna taunted as she held up an empty glass bottle. "But to assure my King's victory, I'll do anything!" Yubelluna shouted and charged at the duo.

"Damn it! RUN!" Kurozai shouted and pushed Issei forward. The two ran into the main building and Kurozai locked the door behind them and snapped off the handle.

"What the hell was that?" Issei asked out of breath. "They were just fine a minute ago!"

"I'm not sure." Kurozai said with a scowl forming. "But what I am sure of, is that I'm going to beat Riser to death. And that's a promise!" Kurozai said his eye's flaring from purple, to a white silhouette of black fireballs and then crimson ones before turning back to his purple flames. "Let's get up to the roof!" Kurozai commanded.

Issei nodded and the two ran up the stairs, Kurozai's boots leaving indentations on the steps as they ran.

The indentations were odd however… How can metal boots make a shape so similar to a monster?

On the Roof.

Asia's shield started to crack. "Miss Rias! Are you better now?" Asia asked.

"Yes, thank you for the support Asia!" Rias shouted out and stood up. "Now let's rip the feathers out of his wings!"

"Right away!" Asia said and began to push forward against Riser's fire.

The door behind Riser slammed open and Kurozai and Issei stood tall.

"Hey CHICKEN BREATH!" Kurozai shouted and charged at Riser. "INCOMING!"

Riser snarled at this. However from above Yubelluna floated down and blocked Kurozai.

"Did you not say you would be back?" Yubelluna taunted. Kurozai smiled beneath his helmet.

"Guess I did huh? Why don't I introduce you to a friend of mine first!" Kurozai grabbed Yubelluna by her right shoulder, flipped onto his back and planted both of his feet into Yubelluna's chest. "MEET MY FRIEND, ISSEI HYOUDOU!" Kurozau shouted out and flung Yubelluna at Issei.

The two crashed into each other and Kurozai got back onto his feet and continued moving forward. "ALRIGHT RISER! LET'S SEE IF YOU'RE FLAMES CAN COMPARE! PYROSIS!" Kurozai shouted out and a torrent of fire spewed from his gauntlet. Riser scoffed and countered with his own fire.

"ASIA! A LITTLE HELP HERE?!" Kurozai asked as he was slowly being pushed back by the warring flames.

Riser scowled and turned around to see Asia bash her shield against Riser's skull.

"GAH! YOU BITCH!" Riser cussed out. He turned around and planted his hand on Asia's helmet, however the moment he did this Kurozai grabbed the Phoenix by the skull and threw him away.

Riser used his wings to regain his balance in the air and landed back down on the roof and prepared himself to keep fighting.

Kurozai growled and charged at Riser with his sword held high. "LET'S DANCE!" Kurozai shouted and swung his sword as he ran to fight.

Issei was fighting for his life and was losing rapidly. Even with Asia crashing into Yubelluna, he was going to fail.

"BOOST!"

"Yeah gonna need some more of those please!" Issei begged his sacred gear as he braced himself for another explosion, however Asia took the hit and was sent away in a shower of blue shards.

"Rias Gremory Bishop has retired."

And from the shards, Kurozai came flying backwards into Issei.

"FUCK!" Kurozai shouted and got back up. His armor was starting to become dented. Hell, even a horn had been snapped off.

They were losing.

"Get up Issei, you're not dead yet!" Kurozai commanded.

Then an explosion lit underneath them.

Kurozai hit the wall and his armor shattered. The only piece remaining was his left gauntlet and the sword that had landed in front of the Overlord.

Issei fell down the roof and on to a lower area.

Kurozai felt his head and noticed that he was injured. Blood leaking down from a gash, staining his purple hair with crimson.

Riser scoffed and began to walk to Rias.

Even with blood almost pouring out of his head wound, Kurozai stood up again, he grabbed his sword and stood ready.

"I'm not done yet you fucking prick." Kurozai spoke through gritted teeth. Riser didn't look at him and continued walking to Rias. "SO TURN AROUND AND FIGHT ME YOU COWARD!" He shouted as he raised his sword to stab Riser in the chest.

Yubelluna floated down and blocked the strike with her staff. Yet Kurozai kept pushing forward, even struggling with the staff in his way he kept moving.

Kurozai reared his sword back and used all of his strength to cleave the staff in half.

With the staff broken in two, Kurozai raised his gauntlet at her and shot a finger gun motion. "Py." He whispered. A small fireball shot out at the speed of a bullet and straight through Yubelluna's chest.

Riser was almost to Rias when the announcement was made. "Lord Riser Queen! Retired!" Riser whipped around to see Kurozai's smoking finger aiming at him. Kurozai's violet eyes glared into Riser's teal ones.

"Come on you cock bite. It's round three, final round." Kurozai taunted, as he readied his sword to fight against Riser.

Riser just sighed and looked at Kurozai with a raised brow. "Riser wonders, what could the Overlord have left? No armor, no minions, no allies worth a damn. You're alone here with just a sword, that gauntlet on your hand and the clothes on your back." Riser said as he closed his eyes and ruminated for a moment. "Let me guess, you think that's all it will take to what? Kill me?"

Kurozai chuckled. "Been thinking about it "

Riser laughed as he put his hand on his face. "You truly are stubborn aren't you. It's good to see a pride based Overlord." Riser said as he fully turned to face Kurozai. "Because they have the easiest morale to break!" Riser launched a fireball the size of a truck at Kurozai.

It collided head on and Kurozai was sent off of the roof and to the cold hard ground below.

While falling, Kurozai saw Issei get up again and get knocked back by Riser. Everything started going slower, and slower. Until it felt like time had stopped.

The Spirit appeared in front of Kurozai and floated in front of him.

Kurozai stared at the spirit as he felt his wounds heal and his energy return.

The spirit stared at him and held up his hand and raised one finger. "Just this once" With that he was gone.

Flipping in the air, Kurozai landed on his feet, causing the ground to crack.

Looking up he saw Riser holding Issei by the neck, shouting that Rias surrender or that he would kill the perverted bastard.

Issei struggled, but was unable to move due to the lack of oxygen going in. His body was going slack and Riser yelled that deaths during Rating games were considered accidents.

Kurozai felt his anger reach a tipping point as the only sound that he could hear was his beating heart.

He could only think about hurting Riser and stopping the wails of Rias who was ready to give up the fight.

All Kurozai wanted to do now… WAS KILL RISER AND WIN.

Then, it happened, Kurozai smirked as power flooded his veins. "About fuckin Time."

Kurozai's eyes flared up as his armor returned once more. It then shattered apart as a new set had grown underneath. This one was darker and had spikes adorning the elbows and knees. The armor was much more like a suit of armor, rather than the full body suit of metal playing he had worn before. The back of his shoulders sputtered for a moment before purple flames shot out, forming a new cape of pure ultra-violet.

Kurozai slammed his fist into his left gauntlet and gripped on to a sword hilt. Slowly, the Overlord drew a blade of completely black metal with a hooked tip at the end.

Kurozai's eyes swapped through a rainbow of colors, before landing on purple once more. "RISER!" Kurozai shouted, his now deeper voice echoed through the copy of the school. The new armor Overlord leapt into the air. His strength seemed to be increased as he found himself landing behind Riser. "I'M THE ONLY ONE WHOSE ALLOWED TO BEAT ISSEI! GET YOUR DICK TOUCHING FINGERS OFF OF HIM!"

Kurozai threw a haymaker punch at Riser. The fiery devil tried to dodge, but Kurozai's strength caused the wind to pressurize and knock Riser off the roof and onto the ground below.

Riser' mouth hung open as he nursed his pained stomach. "ARCANIUM ARMOR? HOW?! YOU HAVE NO MINIONS REMAINING, MUCH LESS A FORGE CLOSE ENOUGH TO MAKE IT!" He shouted and crawled to his feet.

The Overlord jumped down, cracking the floor beneath his feet. Readying his sword and looking at Riser, his anger had peaked and he planned to let it all out. "I'll rip you in HALF!"

Neither moved, Riser glared at Kurozai, wanting nothing more than to silence the pest standing before him.

And Kurozai? His heart was beating louder than he could think... and was beating to a familiar tune.

The Theme of the Overlord.

In the blink of an eye, Kurozai ran forward and swung his sword at Riser, who blocked with a wall of fire.

Kurozai's sword cleaved through the flames and seemed to absorb it, coating the sword in fire.

Kurozai swung his sword, a line of fire shooting out, taking the absorbed flames with it. Riser moved out of the way and the fire caused dust to kick up to blind the devil.

With a moment of respite, Kurozai sunk his left fist into the ground, pulled out a chunk of rock and threw it at Riser.

The firey devil had just cleared his eyes of dust when he made the split second decision to catch the rock.

This proved to be a bad idea as Kurozai sprinted forward and SHATTERED the rock to pieces. Riser stumbled back and covered his fists in flames, he let out a yell and swung at Kurozai, who let the weak punch bounce off his new armor. Kurozai grabbed a piece of rock that was still falling and bashed Riser's head with it, causing blood to spray out of the wound before it healed over.

Kurozai dropped his sword, which vanished in purple fire as it clattered on the ground, and tackled Riser into the school building.

The doorway collapsed from the force of the charge. While Riser tried to fight back by hitting his armor again, the Overlord spun on his heel and threw Riser across the hall and into the lockers. A couple were forced open and spilled out their contents, such as books, paperwork and stationary.

Kurozai grabbed a pencil from the ground and stabbed it through Riser's neck, pinning him to the wall.

The devil gurgled in anger and pulled the pencil out in time to dodge another two pencils, aimed for his eyes.

Riser rolled out of another attack and grabbed a full sized locker. He swung it and sent Kurozai flying into the female bathroom, and into a stall shattering the toilet.

A small spray of water gushed onto Kurozai, while the Overlord got back up. He punched through the tilestone wall and pulled out some piping and aimed it at the hole Riser was about to enter. Kurozai covered the hole for a moment to let water pressure build up and to let Riser get closer.

"HAVE A DRINK ASSHOLE!" Kurozai shouted and moved his thumb to send Riser flying back from the water. Kurozai dropped the pipe and chased after Riser, summoning his new gauntlets as he did so.

Riser spit out some of the water and looked up in time to catch a spike that was launched at him. The spike then exploded and Kurozai grabbed the devil by the leg and sent him flying outside. The Overlord changed back to his sword and spun it with a flourish. Kurozai followed the bastard and kicked up the speed, allowing some dust to kick up. Enough dust infact to cover the fighters.

From the outside, Issei and Rias watched from the rooftop, seeing sparks and small bursts of fire kick out from within.

The cloud vanished and Riser was struggling to stop Kurozai, using small balls of fire to hold the new sword back. Riser kicked Kurozai in the chest and sent the Overlord skidding back a few feet.

Kurozai dashed at Riser and swung his blade so fast that it took a moment for the cut to appear. A spray of blood covered Kurozai's helmet.

Riser scoffed and fire covered the wound. But once the fire was gone the wound was still there. "W-What!?"

Riser looked up in shock as Kurozai delivered the next attack with a downward slash and Riser's arm, from the shoulder down, fell off. Riser screamed in pain.

Losing a limb always hurt. The stump was covered in fire for a moment. Then the fire vanished and like before, Riser didn't regenerate.

Riser fell to his knees and clutched his bleeding stump. He looked up at Kurozai fearfully. "I SURRENDER! S-S-STOP PLEASE!"

Kurozai raised his left hand and clenched it. Everything went silent, the musical heartbeat, the people, hell even the wind.

Kurozai shouted to the air for all of his generals and minions to hear. "DOMINATION!" He shouted. "OR?" Kurozai paused to gauge the reactions of the minions. "DESTRUCTION!"

The minions shouted their vote, Domination, Destruction, Decarnage(?). His generals were split between the two with Issei being the tiebreaker.

Issei shouted at the top of his lungs a word that would forever alter the underworld for days to come.

Kurozai smiled beneath his helmet and raised his sword into the air.

"DESTRUCTION!!!" He shouted as his voice reverberated across the battlefield.

Riser's eyes widened in shock as Kurozai's head snapped to look at him.

In a swift move, Kurozai grabbed Riser by the throat and slammed him face first into the dirt.

Riser screamed in pain as Kurozai planted his sword into the small of Riser's back. With the sword planted, he wriggled it around to hurt the devil further. Feeling the gratifying crack of Riser's spine. Hearing the squelch of blood being moved, at least under Riser's pained screams.

Kurozai had to admit… He Was Enjoying Himself.

Rias, who had regained her strength, watched in horror from the rooftop as Kurozai ripped the sword out and tossed it to the side. Getting on top of Riser's back and beating Riser's skull into the dirt.

Glancing to the side, Rias could see Issei's face warp from one of determination to one of horror as he couldn't take his eyes off of the beating.

Issei went pale as he remembered Kurozai's promise when the two entered the cloned school building. '-I'm gonna beat Riser to death! And that's a promise!'

Rias closed her eyes as she could hear Kurozai's metal gauntlets beat Riser's skull in. She could hear Riser, begging for mercy from where she was. Begging her to accept his defeat, begging Kurozai to stop.

Then his begging turned into sobs until… silence.

Rias slowly opened her eyes as she saw Kurozai, covered in blood and bits of graymatter, stand up from Riser's body.

Then the dreaded announcement came.

"L-Lord Riser Phenix has d-d-died. The winner is Rias Gremory by default. By the Maou, someone hand me a garbage pail."

Silence fell over the battlefield as Rias stared at Kurozai.

She thought back to her musings just a day prior.

'Kurozai was supposed to be an Overlord. The equivalent of the boogy-man.'

She had given Kurozai too much credit. He wasn't a Boogeyman.

He was worse.

Ever since the assault on the church to get Kurozai back, or the battle against the Fellowship, Rias hadn't thought about the violent side of him.

But now that she had seen just what he was capable of. It scared her.

Kurozai had beaten Riser to death with his bare hands. Riser who was just a little stronger than Rias. The heir to the Phenix bloodline and one of the strongest newcomers to the rating games.

She dreaded to think what Kurozai would become in the future. For this was only his begining.

"You two okay?!" Kurozai shouted over the distance between them. He had just finished looting whatever was on Riser's corpse. That being his wallet, any jewelry the Prideful devil wore, and a MP3 player he had on his person.

This snapped Rias out of her musings as she slowly nodded.

Then the world they stood in faded into pure white, and the next thing either knew, they both stood in the club room, with Riser's corpse being put into a body bag. Issei seemed to have been teleported elsewhere, most likely to heal and recover.

Grayfia stood behind Rias' desk with a frenzied scowl across her face as she glared at the Overlord.

Kurozai looked down at his hands as blood still dripped off his gauntlets. He groaned and began to wipe his gauntlets off with his cape.

"Overlord Kurozai Kishi, you do know what you have done, yes?" Grayfia asked, her voice low and quiet.

"Mmhm." Kurozai said, not really paying attention as he began to search for a rag to use so he could clean off his armor.

"So you just don't care?" Grayfia asked, her hair beginning to stand up as she began to reach her boiling point with the Overlord.

"Not particularly, no. You're a maid right? Got a cleaning rag?" Kurozai asked as a piece of Riser's brain dripped off his chest plate.

Grayfia slammed her fists onto Rias' desk as a magical aura covered her frame. "YOU KILLED RISER PHENIX AND YOU HAVE THE GALL TO ASK FOR A RAG TO CLEAN HIS BLOOD AND BRAINS OFF?" Grayfia shouted, her voice shaking the room.

"... So do you or do you not have one?"

Grayfia froze. She could feel her sanity snap with Kurozai's question. He truly did not care about the act he committed.

Inhaling deeply, Grayfia tried to compose herself, she closed her eyes and counted down in her head.

The opening and shutting of a door snapped her out of her attempt at calming down.

The room was now one Overlord shorter than it once was, and a paper floated down onto the floor.

Rias picked up the note, covered in a small amount of blood, and read it aloud. "Left to go clean up and rest. Come talk tomorrow. -K."

Rias stepped back abit as she could feel the heat radiating off of Grayfia.

"KUROZAI KISHI!!!" Grayfia yelled.

The yell could be felt throughout the town.

Speeding away to a convenience store near the school, Kurozai bought the coveted rag he so desired, along with another item.

Kurozai plugged in the new set of headphones in his new MP3 player. Kurozai skimmed through the Devil's choice in music.

Finally settling on Clattanoia by OxT, Kurozai walked home knowing that he had changed the world of the devil's with his act of violence. (CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME THE ANSWER, TO MY QUESTION! WHERES MY SOUL??)

And he smiled evilly, knowing that he had begun step 1 of his master plan to rule the world.

That step? Raise Hell.

-???-

"He shows promise."

"Indeed. His showmanship is quite prideful."

"We shall save that for when we call the council."

"Of course."

"Silence you two. Fury, step forward."

Somewhere, far, far away in a location hidden to most. A meeting was put in motion.

The room was dark, as the meeting was sudden and didn't require the full council.

However, from the darkness, Fury, in his bear cloak, did as instructed.

"You said your father had begun the boy's training, yes?"

"Yes. That's what he said to me when we last spoke."

"Very well. With the death of the fellowship and this latest development in the devil's world. We are moving forward with the initiation. It shall be held in two weeks."

"I understand. And what of-"

"What of him?"

"... Are we just leaving this to the new overlord?"

"We have no reason to intrude further. Overlord Gromguard, or his compatriots, are not our issue as of now. Our current issue is that our spies have informed us of a meeting coming soon between the three Christian factions and we need the new Overlord directly after."

"Why?"

"Because it is time we break our silence. The Wizard has joined Gromguard. If there are any more major deserters… it would cause unmonitored chaos."
