"Alright everyone we will be arriving at the stadium soon, everyone ready?" Spokea determined Rias.

Everyone nodded as they walked into the halls of the stadium. "Ah Azazel your already here." Spoke Issei as he walked towards the man.

"Yeah I thought I'd get here earlier and check the place out." Replied the man.

"I get the feeling your here for another reason." Huffed Issei

"I never can let my guard around you can I." Laughed Azazel.

"What is it this time, oh let me guess your making me perform before the game." Said Issei with a sigh.

"Hey you can't disappoint the fans." Replied the chipper man.

"Issei Hyoudo so we meet at last." Spoke a deep amonous voice.

Issei turned his head and was met with a large impossible skeleton in a white robe. "Hades I didn't expect you to be attending today." Said a suddenly serious Azazel.

"Yes well as Zues and Pasidon we're interested in this even and as well as all the noise it's causing even in my domain I deemed it fit I figure out why." Spoke the large skeleton god.

"And you Issei Hyoudo, you are quite a remarkable person, not only have you escaped death multiple times but you also prevented deaths with your actions, don't die out there it would be a shame to meet again soon." Said the god of the underworld as he walked away with his skeleton guards.

Issei stood there for a second before shaking off the chills he felt. "Man what was up with that it sounded like he was threatening me." Said Issei.

"It may seem so, from what I've heard through a few connections you have made quite the name for yourself, the boy who gave his humanity to be a dragon, defeated a cadre class fallen angel with ease, tames the infernal boa, brought pease to the three biblical factions, and recently single handedly faced and overpowered a group of powerful Longinus weilders. It seems some people are impressed by your growth while others fear it.

"And you think Hades is one who fears my growth?" Asked the dragon.

"It seems so" replied Azazel.

"Welcome everyone to the Gremory vs Bael rating game, today I Azazel will be your anouncer and with me as my co host is the one and only Lady Leviathan."

"Hey there-" began Serafall before being cut off.

"And as a special guest with me today I have my Great Nephew Ranya Shin Hyoudo." Said Azazel as he looked over to the pouting Satan.

"Ahboo" responded the baby to the delight of the audience.

"A-and today as our referee we have the quite popular, 7th place holder of the Rating games Rudiger Rosenkreutz." Said Azazel feeling the glare of the woman beside him.

Rudiger is a handsome slicked back green haired reincarnated devil, though he was only 7th in the rating games he is quite popular with the woman of the underworld. At his announcement the crowd began to cheer, as he appeared on the center of the stage. "Now then everyone, let's introduce our fighters." Spoke Rudiger.

From both sides walked both peerages as they stepped out cheers rang through the stadium seeing as the young devils walked out on stage. "ITS ISSEI KYA!" rang the yells as the peerages stepped out.

Everyone had their own individual fans however the overwhelmed fans of the Dragon of songs drowned out the cheers for the other participants. "Now as a special gift for everyone Issei will perform a song before the battle." Spoke Azazel.

"Hey, when can I talk?" Asked the irritated Leviathan.

"Sorry about that, go ahead" Replied Azazel.

"Yes well everyone please enjoy the show." Cheered cosplaying devil.

The stadium began to dim and a spotlight landed on Issei who was now on a platform above the stadium holding his red electric guitar.

I don't know what you had in mind

But here we stand on opposing sides

Let's go to war

Let's go to war

We arm ourselves with the wrongs we've done

Name them off one by one

Let's go to war

Let's go to war

Everything you say

Everything you do

You push it in

And you cut me down

And you cut me down

War, war, war

Screaming at the ones we love

Like we forgot who we can trust

Screaming at the top of our lungs

On the grounds where we feel safe

Do we feel safe?

Do we feel safe?

Hush my baby; make no sound

Maybe we can wait each other out

It's a cold war

Let's go to war

With every settled score

I thought that fighting with meant fighting for

But you turn it around

But you turn it around

War, war, war

Screaming at the ones we love

Like we forgot who we can trust

Screaming at the top of our lungs

On the grounds where we feel safe

Screaming at the ones we love

Like we forgot who we can trust

Screaming at the top of our lungs

On the grounds where we feel safe

Do we feel safe?

Do we feels safe?

Do we feel safe?

Do we censor or do we flow?

Are we drunk on the chemicals?

Every feeling in my bones tells me to lash out

And tell you to fuck off

You've got my heart

And I've got your soul

But are we better off alone?

With every battle we lose a little more

Remember everything that we'd die for

You are everything that I'd die for

Screaming at the ones we love

Like we forgot who we can trust

Screaming at the top of our lungs

On the grounds that we feel safe

Screaming at the ones we love

Like we forgot who we can trust

Screaming at the top of our lungs

On the grounds where we feel safe

Do we feel safe?

Do we feel safe?

Do we feel safe

Do we feel safe?

Do we feel safe?

Do we feel safe?

Do we feel safe?

Do we feel safe?

Do we feel safe?

The audience was surprised at the change in Issei's singing as well as the passion he put into the song. But they felt excited for the coming fight.

"Well then everyone let's let the battle begin!" Yelled Serafall as cheers rang throughout the Audience once more.

Rias and Sairaorg each stepped into a glass waiting room on each end of the stadium. Inside the room was a large purple couch Infront of a podium.

"Now everyone this rating game is much different from any other you have seen before, due to Sairaorg Bael's request everyone is allowed to use everything they have. However we did have to place a few restrictions, there will only be the use of a single Phenex tear from each team and fights will be based on the role of a die." Said Rudiger.

"Now we have decided the value of each piece based on the pawn value system of the evil pieces. As you all know a pawn is equal to one pawn, a knight and bishop is equal to three, a rook five, a queen nine and a king is ten."

"Now for a number to be chosen both Kings will roll the dice the combined number roles rolled will be the amount of pieces that can send out for example of a ten is roles one term can send the king while the other can decide to dens a rook, a knight and two pawns, as even if it seems unfair the values are still equal." Said Rudiger.

"Now the king's roll the dice." Spoke Azazel.

Rias and Siraorg did as they were told and rolled the single die placed in the podium Infront of them. Rias rolls a 2 while Sairaorg rolls a 1. "Our first role adds up to three, each team picks your infighters."

"I believe Sairaorg will send his Knight so Kiba you're up." Said Rias.

"Right." Replied the blond knight as he stood.

"It seems the Gremory have sent their knight Kiba Yuto, and his appointment is the knight of Sairaorg Beruka Furcas." Spoke Serafall.

"Hello there Knight of Gremory I am Beruka Furcas a Knight under the Bael family and this is my partner Alto Brau." Said the Armored man as he pointed to the horse he sat upon.

Beruka is a young brown-haired devil with green eyes wearing a medieval suit of armor, wielding a lance on top of a horse. Kiba faces the man ready to fight, and at the start of the fight it was announced both knights vanished with their speed before appearing now in a clash. The continued to momentarily disappear before appearing again crossing lance and sword.

"Impressed you are able to keep up with me on foot while I am on horseback." Said the Jousting knight.

"Your skill on horseback is quite impressive, however Holy Demonic sword of lightning" Said Kiba, as he summoned a new sword and sent lightning at his opponent while swords began to come out of the ground.

Beruka jumped into the air with his horse, avoiding both attacks. "Well you surprised me however that won't work, you can't hit what's not real." Said the man as he summoned a second lance and suddenly began to multiple as he ran through the air towards Kiba.

"Well I wasn't planning on using my trump card so early on in the game but I have no choice but to show off my new power." Said Kiba as his sword disappeared and a new blue holy sword appeared.

"Balance Breaker." Said Kiba as multiple swords similar to the one in his hand came from the ground and began to change shape.

"This is my new balance break, based on the blade blacksmith's sub-species. I call it Glory Drag Troop." Spoke Kiba as multiple dragon like suits of armor stood besides him

"That's not right. I studied your moves. Your balance break is only the sword of betrayer." Said the horseman.

Both knights using their own version of multiplication began to charge one another as they both became streaks on land. Suddenly and unregistered to the untrained eye Beruka was off his horse as he began to fade from the dimension.

"It seems Kiba has won this battle, the first round goes to the Gremory team." Announced the green haired man.

"How did he win so fast?" Asked Gasper

"Yeah I couldn't keep up." Added Xenovia.

"Kiba parried Furcas's lance with his sword but also ran his sword along it using it as a guide straight to his opponent's shoulder." Said Issei analyzing the fight.

"Now then what will be the next battle kings get to rolling." Said Azazel.

As the dice stopped their amounts were shone four and six. "For the second round our value is ten." Spoke Serafall.

"We have to be careful he is able to go out now. I think it's best to send Issei and Raynare." Said Rias.

"No." Spoke Issei.

"Why not?"

"He won't come out of the second round. He wants to put on a bit of a show of his pieces first before pulling a few trump cards."

"Then who's going this round?" Asked Kiba.

"Then if it ten how about we send in Koneko and Rossweisse." Added Akeno.

"Yeah I'm up for a fight." Spoke Rossweisse.

"Word." Agreed Koneko.

"Alright then we're counting on you too." Said Issei as both girls stepped into the transportation circle.

"Now let the second round begin." Spoke Rudiger.

"I am Liban Crocell, a knight . This is Gandoma Balan, a rook." Introduce the blond knight and his parents, a rock like devil.

"I am Rossweisse, my partner Koneko and I are rooks from the Gremory family." Introducing the Ex-Valkyrie.

Gandoma began to charge at Koneko who avoided the punch with a backflip. While in the air on her head appeared her ears and under her skirt appeared two white tails. As she landed on the ground on all fours, like a cat she ran towards the opposing knight spinning on her hands sending a kick into her opponent.

As Koneko fought the rook, Rossweisse faced the Knight. The first to make a move was Rossweisse who, using her magic, sent multiplayer magic attacks towards the knight pelting the man in a rainbow of magic. However Liban's speed was enough to avoid the onslaught.

Koneko had sent the rook skirting with her kick but the large man grabbed a pillar prepared to swing it at the girl. The small nekomatas' hands began to emit a blue aura of Ki as the Gauntlet appeared In her hands. "It seems Koneko has never before seen Sacred gear." Spoke the referring devil.

At that same moment Rossweisse also summoned her pair. "And it seems Rossweisse has her own matching gear, what's going on here? A nekomata and Valkyrie wield sacred gear?" Spoke to the astonished man.

"Well you're not wrong they can't wield traditional sacred gears however as some of you have seen before I wield an artificial gear, and now the Gremory Peerage wield their own fair share of not sacred heart but artifacts, in the last match the armor Kiba wore was an artifact developed by Issei." Spoke Azazel.

Everyone watching was amazed that Issei had created artifacts for his team. Koneko with ease punched through the stone column swung her way and began a fast and powerful assault on the other rook. While his body was made of stone the mix of Nekomata rook strength, ki and propulsion powered gauntlet the man's skin began to crumble. Koneko curled her arm back as her gauntlets released blue flames and she sent right straight into the man's stomach causing him to recoil at the pain and left hook to the man's face stunning the man.

While Koneko was doing well Rossweisse was having more of a hard time. She was being held down by the magic knight's sacred gear, as long as he has his eyes set on his opponent he can hold them down with gravity magic. "Well then I think it's time to retire you." Spoke the knight as he raised his arm.

"You think that but your gear has a clear weakness." Said Rossweisse as she raised her hand sending out a spell.

"I have already accounted for my weakness." Rebutted, the knight as a mirror appears Infront of him and reflects the magic toward Koneko.

Koneko however just grabbed her opponent and threw him towards the magic, as the man and magic collided out of the point of impact Rossweisse appeared as in her previous location now was the rook of stone being held down by his teammates magic. Rossweisse, now free of the magic, rocketed to the knight using her gauntlets and sent a fist directly into the man's jaw. As Liban and Gandoma layed on the ground the magic knight put his all Into one final spell, his magic hit the ceiling of their battlegrounds and began to collapse. "We may have lost this round but I will take one of you down."

The roof collapsed over Koneko taking her down too. As the three fighters began to fade away Koneko spoke, "Balls, but as long as one of us serves at least we still win the match." Said Koneko.

Rossweisse began to apologize for letting Koneko get hurt, "You done have to apologize I'm happy we took them down, You stupid ass twat." Said Koneko before fading away.

"One Knight and Rook of Bael Retire, one Rook of Gremory Retires. The winner of the second round in team Rias." Spoke Rudiger.

Once more both teams rolled the dice. "This round our number is 4! Who will be picked for this round." Spoke to the announcer.

"It's a four we could send Kiba or Xenovia out but I think we should use numbers for this round, Raynare, Kaliwarner and Mittelt your up." Said Rias.

The three girls stood and walked over to the circle. As they teleported to the battlefield in Infront of them stood a lone blond woman. "It seems this battle is between the pawns of Rias and the bishop of Sairaorg." Spoke the announcer.

"Azazel, what are your thoughts on this next match?" Asked Serafall knowing the three below were subordinates of his.

"Well you see I think Rias made a great choice sending out those three, they are quite powerful fallen angels and their use of holy magic is useful against the devils and they work well together. They are sisters after all." Said Azazel

"So your saying this fight is one sided?" Asked the Satan.

"Definitely."

"Now then let's get this match going." Announce the green referee.

The three girls stood across from the bishop waiting for her to make her move. "Man I was so hoping to face that dragon boy, he's so handsome and I'm sure I could have charmed him into submission." Spoke the seductive blond.

This caused a tickmark to form on Raynares and Mittelts forehead. "Oh well maybe after I beat you three I can get a piece of him." Spoke the girl.

"Now I see you planned one seduce my Issei in this match huh?" Said Raynare.

"I won't let you stick your claws into my big bro." Spoke Mittelt.

"Oh are you so sure about that I think I can get him over to our side." Said the girls as she ran her hands through her body as she stared up at the glass room stairs at said boy.

In the waiting room Issei stood looking down at the battlefield before taking a deep breath. "Go Ray you got this." He spoke down to the girl.

"You see it won't work, Issei loves us and your little show isn't going to change anything, now my son is watching so imma make this quick." Said Raynare as dozens of red light speared began to fly at the girl.

"And that was one devastating match, the pawn of Sairaorg retires." Said the announcer.

"Let's get the fourth roll on the way and… wow what a coincidence for our fourth roll we get all fours this match is a value of eight, who will we see fight next."

"I think I should go next, while Issei is the strongest we need him against Sairaorg and we don't know when he will come out." Said Xenovia."

"I want to go too." Said Gasper

Everyone was surprised Gasper volunteered, "are you sure grasper?" Asked Issei.

"Yeah, like you said, as a man of the Gremory family I must be strong, and we need you ready to win this." Said Gasper.

"At a boy, now go out there and show everyone what you got." Said Issei to which the young blonde boy nodded.

"Representing the Gremory clan we have Xenovia Quarta and Gasper Vladi." Said the announcer

In the crowd a group of girls with a Xenovia banner cheered on the knight. While Gasper had his fair share of fans though oddly enough most were male. "And from the Bael Family we have Misteeta Sabnock a bishop and Ladora Buné a rook."

Misteeta was a hooded man with light green hair in his hand he held a staff that in the end was a dragon-like tip somewhat resembling a purple dragon armor. Ladora Buné was an older man, he was thin, practiced, and just boned. He had a scruffy appearance with messy short brown hair and a small beard.

As the battle began Gasper turned into bats and flew around the battlefield to act as support of Xenovia. Xenovia sent a magic slash toward the bishop but using her dragon staff she nullified her attack. Prepared her own atack she sent a blast of fire magic however Gasper in bat form froze the magic using his sacred gear. Xenovia cut through the magic as she moved forward.

"Ladora distract the knight. I need some time to prepare." Spoke the Bishop.

The man began to glow yellow as he powered up, his body began to glow in size as well as scales. In his place was no longer the skinny looking man but now a bulky brown dragon. "I've headed that the Buné clan was a family of dragon tamers that could use dragon powers for Sairaorg to have one that can transfer, he must have trained with him to awaken his power." Said Rias.

"Aw man I should have gone out to fight, it would have been fun to face another dragon." Spoke Issei.

"I think you're a little too strong for that, if you turned into your full dragon form you would probably accidentally just step on the man." Laugh Kiba.

Back in the fight Buné sent a fire breath at Xenovia who avoided using her speed. "Gasper hold them down, I'm going to do it." Said Xenovia

As she began to channel her power the Bishop spoke. "Holy sword I seal your power."

Around Xenovias body black marks began to form as she lost her strength, as soon as she was down Gasper surrounded Xenovia in hundreds of bats and moved her to hide.

"Sorry Gaspy I think I'll be useless for the rest of the match." Said Xenovia.

"No, don't say that I think I know of a way to remove the curse." Gasper pulled a piece of chalk from the bag he had on.

"Gasper, are you sure this will work?" Spoke Rias through a community circle.

"Yeah I know a method using Issei's blood however It will take some time." Said the crossdressing boy.

Away from Gasper his opponents searched out the two. "Xenovia, stay here while the spell is finished . I'll buy you some time." With a determined look Gasper put magic into his clothes changing them into the boys uniform and began to run out of cover.

"Gasper get back to cover you can't face them alone." Said Rias.

Gasper however didn't listen and continued to run. "Oh so there you are, little vampire." Spoke the dragon man.

The dragon shot a fire blast at Gasper but the boy put his hand up to block, his magic was broken through but nothing happened to him.

"What's this? Gasper had a sudden wardrobe change and is immune to fire." The announcer spoke In surprise.

"That there is another artifact made by Issei, the clothes Gasper is wearing along with Xenovia and Kibas armor are made with dragon scales, we turned his scales into strong fibers, they are flexible but also stronger than steel and being made from dragon scales they have an added boost of fired immunity. Spoke Azazel.

Gasper's devil wings popped out and he flew towards the dragon however he was grabbed in the dragon's hands. Gasper was being crushed in the claws of the dragon. "I can't watch." Said a pained Rias as she covered her face

As Gasper was being beaten around by the rook and bishop he continued to stand. "Rule number one, a real man always protects those he cares for." Spoke Gasper as he continues to get up.

He was hit in the face by the bishop's staff. " Rule number two, a real man will always stand tall no matter the situation." Said Gasper as he began to stand.

But the dragon rook stomped on Gasper leaving him planted in the floor. "Rule number three a real man never gives up." Said Gasper.

"Rias don't look away, he's fighting for you for us so don't disgrace his efforts by avoiding your eyes." Said Issei as he clenched his fist.

Rias uncovered her eyes and stared at the screen, tears forming at the scene. "I will protect Xenovia even if I die." Said Gasper.

The Dragon was preparing to stomp on Gasper once more but Xenovia now stood. "I won't let you hurt him more, Gasper you fought well and are a true warrior thank you, now i'll put my all into this attack to match your strength." Said Xenovia as her sword began to glow.

"No you may have broken my first curse but you won't stop me again." Said the Bishop however he froze.

Gasper as he was fading away had his sacred gear activated holding down both opponents. Xenovia swung her sword down hitting both with the same attack she used against the hero faction. "Sairaorgs Rook and Bishop retire as well as a Bishop of Rias, Xenovia is left standing Rias wins." Was announced out to the audience.

Rias and Sairaorg rolled the dice again, rolling a four and five. "Well I guess it's my turn," said Akeno.

She stood and walked over to the magic circle as her ring glewed. "Now the fight between queens is underway!" Yelled the announcer.

Akeno didn't waste any time sending a wave of holy lightning, however Sairaorg queens summoned black orbs that absorbed the attack. "You are quite strong, Queen of Rias Gremory, however my magic can capture and use my opponents' magic against them." Said the queen of Sairaorg.

The same black orbs that absorbed Akeno's magic now surrounded her and began to release her own holy lighting against her. Akeno began to fade, losing quickly to her own attack. "QUEEN OF RIAS GREMORY RETIRES SAIRAORG WINS THE FOURTH ROUND." spoke the announcer in surprise at the quick victory.

"Alright everyone, eyes back on the screen for the next role."

For the fifth round both teams rolled a six. "They have finally rolled a collective twelve that means, yes it does, he will finally make his move."

Sairaorgs stood from his seat and was teleported into the battlefield. Issei was ready to stand but was stopped by Kiba. "Let me go, we need to weaken him and we still have to deal with his queen and pawn, they both seem quite strong so we need to be cautious, Xenovia Rossweisse will you come with me?" Asked Kiba.

Both women stood besides the knight and walked forward. "Wait, let me go too." Said Raynare.

"I'm in as well." Added Kaliwarner as she stood beside her sister.

"Alright then everyone do your best." Said Issei, sure they were ready to fight.

Kiba, Xenovia, Rossweisse, Raynare and Kaliwarner stood Infront of Sairaorg in a clearing in a forest. "Now why so many I was expecting Issei, was this Rias idea?" Spoke Sairaorg.

"No this was on me, but don't worry we promise to send you to the red dragon emperor in the best of conditions." Said Kiba.

"Well then that must be the classiest trash talk I've ever heard."

"At the sound of the Buzzer the sixth match will begin." Spoke the announcer as he spoke the buzzer went off.
