The sound of explosions rattled the mountainside as Tannin pushed Issei to a point where fighting was possible. Fireballs and a red armored figure were flying around as Issei was tossing out his magic attacks at Tannin. Green orbs could be seen smashing into Tannin's scales as they scattered off. Issei didn't get much relief as he had to dodge the massive balls of fire otherwise he would be cooked to a crisp.

[Reset!] Hearing that Issei's armor dissipated he was only left with a pair of dragon wings keeping him aloft in the sky. "Ah shit," He said as he floated down to the ground. There was a time limit on how long he could stay in his Balance breaker and Tannin forced him to increase that timer each and every day.

"It seems your Dragon power has gained much in this last week," Tannin said looking at Issei as he was lying down on the ground like he was almost out of energy.

"It's been…fun." Issei said hearing that his Instructor.

"Are you sure about that?" Tannin knew that it was a bald-faced lie.

"No" Issei reached up to his chest as he went to scratch it seeing how there was a lack of a shirt. "But I can use my Balance Breaker now."

"Yes, I must say that your progress has been quite impressive considering the state you were in." Tannin said thinking of how the days of training had been.

Unannounced to them there was a glimmer like a star in the sky as something came at them. it fell from the sky like a rocket heading right for them as flames appeared around it. As it reached the ground it corrected its course and split the air between the two of them sending a massive pressure wave out making Issei tumble around on the ground. The object never smashed into the ground but floated there. "What the hell old man."

"I didn't do anything." He said seeing what the object was. "It was that thing."

Issei looked at it as he got to his feet. What he saw was a black jagged sword with a purple jewel in the center of it. "It's a sword?" Issei asked seeing it as he was surprised to even see such a thing. "Is it on fire or is just hot?"

Tannin knew what that blade was all too well as he saw it. "I don't believe it, that's a relic of a bygone era."

"Care to Explain?" Issei looked at it.

[Aye, The blade is known as the Judecca. One of the many items he used through his power struggles with the other factions. To think it still exists.]

"Okay," Issei nodded hearing that "Do you know why it's coming towards me?"

[Hell if I know, that blade was said to be lost if what I've heard over the years is true.]

Issei's right hand shot out to the side as the hilt flew into his hand like a magnet. "I don't want another sword, I can't even use the first one I got."

Tannin however held his hand out a magic circle formed and a robed figure appeared. "We have a problem." He pointed at Issei as the Robbed man looked at what was in Issei's hand.

"I see." The robed figure walked over to Issei and stuck out his hand "The sword please."

Issei looked up at Tannin "Give it to him" Tannin said.

"Alright, whatever." Issei laid the blade in the man's hands "I don't want this thing." When he pulled his hands away the sword sank into the man's hands and came out the other side falling into the ground. "Oh, you have got to be kidding me. Are you some hologram?"

"Quite real young child. The Blade phased through my hands and I detected no magic. Most interesting find."

"Who are you?" Issei asked as he had never heard of this person before.

"You may already know my name. It's in the history books, but that's not important now as we are not to meet for some time."

Issei nodded at that as he reached for the sword "Uh huh right." His hand latched onto it pulling it out of the ground with no issues.

"It seems the sword has taken a liking to you. You are more than meets the eye." The Robbed figure turned to Tannin "See to it that Lucifer hears of this, no doubt he will considering who the boy is, but you tell him what you saw."

"Yes," Tannin said as there was a flash of a magic circle once again as the figure disappeared.

Issei looked at the blade as there was a paper wrapped around the hilt he undid it seeing that there was writing on it. "Tell Tiamat, 41.90218273694398, 12.453840479609918. Did you have fun reading that out loud? Good google it then you will understand. Also, she will understand it once she figures out that the paper is technically from you. She's still going to hate you." Issei looked up at Tannin "I don't get it."

"Tiamat hates Ddraig and by Extension you."

"What the fuck did you do!" Issei shouted at Ddraig. Issei didn't get an answer only silence.

"He pissed off Tiamat somehow."Tannin said getting Issei's attention.

"Oh great."

"We need to get you home as it's almost time for you to return to the land of society." He reached down grabbed Issei and took to the air. What was a few minutes for Tannin would be an hour for Issei due to his size but they arrived at the Gremory estate in no time. After he dropped Issei off near a water fountain he looked at him "The party is Maou Sponsored, so I will see you two there."

"Sounds like fun." Issei said thinking about it. "See you there then."

[Sorry for troubling you Tannin.]

"Think nothing of it. It was fun once he learned how to fight. I'll contact the family with that other thing we talked about."

Issei waved as Tannin took off 'He's nice for a dragon.'

[You know that we are dragons right?]

Issei smiled hearing that "I guess technically we are but that's what I always thought a Dragon would look like. You know scales for days and breathing fire."

[You can do that as well, but I understand what you're trying to say.]

"You're looking good." Issei heard as he turned around and saw Yumi as her clothes were tattered but still completely functional.

"Look good, oh you bet, smell good not so much."

Yumi smiled at that "Yes but your muscles are much more defined now."

"Oh, you're here already." They heard Xenovia but when they saw her she was not the best looking as she was for going the shirt look and her whole body was wrapped in bandages from her hands and chest.

"Yeah…." Issei said looking at her

"This is from training. Training causes injuries so I would just wrap myself up and then it goes to his point."

Issei reached over and poked her in the breast "Well you still have a breast so that's a thing."

"Oh yes, those are quite fine. I did stop wearing a bra as I didn't want to destroy them."

Issei tapped Yumi "She reminds me of a mummy, bandages and all."

Yumi smiled at that "I have no intention of being preserved!" Xenovia shouted at him.

Issei did notice that the two of them were different, he could see and feel the aura of energy they gave off clearly and it was obvious that the two of them benefited from the training.

"Ise" They heard that high-pitched voice and knew exactly who it was coming towards them as there was no mistaking it. They saw her coming out to the castle and over to them wearing her nun clothing.

"Hi, Asia."

"Please put some clothes on." She panicked slightly seeing how he was lacking a shirt.

"How about…no" He smiled hearing that from Asia. "It's cute seeing you panic over something as simple as a shirt." That's when he thought about it. "What about Xenovia, she doesn't have a shirt or a bra on?"

"Xenovia!" Asia panicked again

"You just got back and you're already messing with Asia," Rias said as she was walking towards him. When she got next to him she latched onto him. "Oh yes, that Issei smell. Your body has become much thicker."

"So much more thicker." Issei smiled at that "You know it could be worse, I could ask Asia to wear a thong or maybe the dreaded Gstring."

Rias breathed in hearing that "That's evil, also you stink." She looked around at everyone "Go get cleaned up then we can discuss the results of training."

After they got cleaned up they gathered in Issei's room and discussed the training that they all had. Yumi told them how she trained with Souji Okita and worked on her Balance Breaker, Xenovia gave the same speech on how she was working with Holy swords. But Issei noticed that there was one thing that was different from everyone else. "Why was it that I was the only one who had to live outside for the whole month?"

Azazel smiled at that "You know I thought you were going to run away from it. Let's just say we were all surprised that you toughed it out in the wilderness. But you exceeded my expectations and considering what you got out of it, looks like you did alright."

"I hate to eat some weird fish the boar was good."

Rias moved over to him grabbed his head and laid it on her shoulder. "Oh you poor thing, suffered on the mountain to get stronger. I think I'll have the mountain renamed just for you. Mount Ise sounds good.

"Your physical strength improved drastically and you were even throwing blows with Tannin, mind you he was holding back but you were still able to spar with him. So all's well that ends well." Azazel raised an eyebrow "How about that sword tho, can I see it?"

Issei held his hand up as there was a quick flash and the blade appeared in his hand. He tossed it over to Azazel and he grabbed it but then soon fell on the floor "I see then, a picky one it is."

"When did you get another sword?" Rias asked him.

"Uhhh about a half hour before we left?" Issei didn't have much of an answer for her as it was still all too out there.

"Well, whatever you do keep that thing hidden. No telling what would happen if word got out that the Red Dragon Emperor had a blade like this. To think this cursed thing fell from the sky." Azazel said as he watched the blade snap back into Issei's hand. It was soon stashed away as Azazel figured there was something else that wanted to happen between everyone. "Well rest up, the big party is tomorrow, and the fight soon after." He told them as he quickly left them as he knew they here horny.

Once alone the girls were looking at him like a slab of meat. "Yumi" Issei looked at the girl "Come here."

She wasn't dumb she had a feeling that she knew what was going to happen. "Yes?" She asked moving over to him.

Issei snapped his fingers there was a quick flash of pink as her clothes were pulled off her and were next to him. They all saw the cute black bra and panties she was wearing as it wasn't on the high end of fancy but still more than what Asia or Xenovia wore. He reached up to her hand and grabbed her hand pulling her down into his lap. His right hand snapped to her breast and his left quickly slipped into her panties. "I… fell for it." Yumi resigned knowing full well what was going to happen.

"Mmh yes, it's because you're cute." Issei said as he nibbled on her left ear lobe.

"Issei?" Akeno called out to him getting his attention. "You do remember that Gasper is here?"

"Yeah and?"

"Well?" She asked hoping he would figure it out.

Issei understood what she was trying to get at "Gasper at best is Bi by mostly gay." Issei pulled on the top of Yumi's bra showing off a little bit of her breast but keeping the nipple area still hidden. "He wears panties and honestly I'm surprised he doesn't wear a bra for the look." That wasn't what Akeno was looking for "Fine fine" Issei sighed seeing that Akeno wasn't looking for that. He looked at the effeminate boy not sure how this was going to go. "Gasper, would you like to suck my dick?"

Rias hit her hand on her head as he said "That was far too blunt." She looked over at him "Are you sure about this?"

"He's clearly interested." Issei said as he was looking at Gasper seeing that he was thinking about the offer he was just given.

"He has a boner right now" Yumi said as she could feel it pushing into her.

"It's from you." Issei said as he slowly pulled his left hand out of her panties they saw his fingers were drenched. He quickly pushed them into her mouth not letting her argue about it.

"Would you let me do that?" Gasper asked not sure how this was going to go.

"Yeah sure, the fact that you crossdress already gives me a confused boner." Yumi's tongue swirled around licking at his fingers. "I was doing a little bit of reading in my book. And there is a spell that can clean the ass out."

"But it's a rectum." Xenovia said hearing that.

"Yes, it did come with a disclaimer that said avoid ass to mouth until you can cast a stronger version of it. And with a little help from the boosted gear that shouldn't be too hard. The spell is rated as beginner and they recommend intermediate for the upgraded version. And if everyone gets it that wouldn't leave Gasper out of the festivities."

"You… thought about this didn't you?" Akeno asked hearing all of that.

"Well, it started as how do I prepare my ass for you as I've got the feeling that you're going to peg me anyways."

Akeno smiled hearing that "The idea came across my mind once or twice."

"See" Issei looked at Rias "I told you I wasn't crazy only partially."

Rias couldn't deny it any longer even if she knew Akeno was into the more extreme things. "I guess you were right."

"So how are we doing this?" Gasper asked.

"Sorry sweety." Issei spoke to Yumi "Looks like you're going to stay a virgin a little bit longer. I've been meaning to take it for a while now but you know."

"I understand." Yumi said fully understood the recent events and since the girls talked she knew there wasn't much sex going on lately.

Issei thought about it for a moment and then it clicked. Moving Yumi off him Issei moved over to the bed as he pulled his clothes off. "I get the feel there's gonna be a fight over who gets round one." He said as he took a seat on the edge of the bed with his legs open revealing his cock. The bed was quickly filled as shirts and bras were thrown around as Akeno got behind him reaching down and grabbing Issei's cock. "Well?" Issei asked as he pointed at the floor in front of him as Akeno stroked him.

Gasper got in between his legs getting ready as Akeno let go. "Say Issei when are you going to take me?" He heard Akeno as she was pushing her breasts into his back. Issei however felt the hot breath and a tongue on the tip.

There was a quick swirl of a tongue around his dick as he felt his lips sealed. "Oh yeah" Issei looked down at Gasper "Keep your teeth away from it, especially your Vampire ones." Issei put his hand on Gasper's head as he began to slide on the shaft. Issei looked back at Akeno "Do you have something to show me?" He asked her as they understood what he was asking her for.

"It's…" Akeno tried to come up with something to say to him.

Seems Issei was going to have to wait on that. Yumi however had a better idea as she pulled her bra off and threw it at him hitting him in the face. By the time he pulled it off, she had already pulled off her panties and was in his face. Pushing him down on the bed she climbed on top of his face "To think that I am resorting to this."

Issei smiled hearing that "Fine by" Issei tried to say but his face was now full of her pussy as he started to lick at it. Akeno however wanted it but she made a promise to him and Issei was going to hold her to it. So she got off the bed and decided to help Gasper with anything she could.

Rias however watched as Gasper was having the time of his life having fun. Yumi was finally breaking free and getting off releasing her pent-up frustrations. She noticed that Koneko didn't run away and stayed there watching them, Asia and Xenovia wanted their own piece of the action.

Gasper pulled away from Issei's dick as his mouth was full of cum. "Was it fun?" Akeno asked him.

He closed his mouth and swallowed all of it in one go."It was fun." Gasper told her with a smile.

Issei however reached up and grabbed Yumi and pushed her into the bed as he got on top of her. "Gasper had his fun, now it's yours." Issei reached down to her pussy and with a magic circle he pushed his mark into her. He quickly got on top of her and prodded her slit getting his cock ready. Smiling he looked down at what was now his tomboy as he pushed it into her feeling her inside. She wasn't on the level of Asia but with some moans and wrapping her legs around him it was no different. "I want you to do something for me tomorrow." He said in her ear as they all watched Issei was having the fun that he had been looking for. But who was next was what they were going to fight over next.

The following day late in the afternoon Issei was wearing a black suit with a red tie, Grayfia had to help him get into it and make sure everything was correct. He was waiting in one of the fancy rooms in the house that they had designated as a meeting place before they left. Issei was waiting all alone as the door opened up and a familiar voice called out to him "Hyoudou" He heard Saji of all people in the Gremory mansion.

"Hey?" Issei asked confused seeing him "Why are you here?"

"Oh um," He pointed back at the door "I came here with Sona as she said we were going together. I wondered around till I found you." Saji got a look at Issei noticing something was off "Nice suit?"

"Thanks" Issei smiled at that "I hate it, it's so stiff."

Saji took a seat across from Issei as he looked at him "So the game will be coming up soon."

Issei nodded at that "Yeah"

"I trained."

"So did I, still tired from the training. I got chased around by a dragon that made Godzilla look small."

Saji's eyes widened hearing that "That's… well your group has a hard lifestyle. I did plenty of hard training myself but nothing like that." He exhaled letting out a sigh as his shoulders sank "My Dream is to become a teacher."

"Realy?" Issei raised an eyebrow at that as that was the first he heard Saji talk about something like that. "Teaching isn't something I expected."

"Yeah, I believe in Sona's dream. A school in the underworld where we teach Rating games to everyone. Helps remove parts of the discrimination and harsh traditions. Little by little we can make things equal for everyone instead of the zero change of promotions for those who have no chance to move up."

"Well, you're already doing better than I am. I have no idea what I want to do. Harem is a life goal for me… and I think I'm already there." Issei thought about it for a moment "Yeah teacher is better for you than me."

The door opened once again "Sorry for making you wait Issei" Rias came in wearing a red dress behind them the other girls filtered in wearing appropriate clothing that matched them.

Issei saw all of them and then Gasper in a little dress as well "Can't say I'm surprised."

"But I wanted to wear one as well."

"Oh yeah, I bet the maids had a field day with you."

Rias smiled at that "Yeah they had some fun."

"Saji what's wrong?" They heard Sona as she was looking at Saji it looked as if his soul escaped his body.

"It's nothing" He said seeing Sona in her blue dress.

Seeing that everyone was ready they moved outside as they saw Tannin waiting for them. "I am here just as promised."

Issei laughed at that "Good to see you old man."

"Old man?" Saji was flipping out hearing that from Issei "That's." He was pulled by Sona stopping him from going doing anything else.

"Thank you Tannin." Rias said to him.

"Oh think nothing of it, Princess Rias. I have a barrier ready to go so the wind doesn't mess with your hair and clothes as those are important things for ladies." It didn't take long for them to get on board and take off.

As they soared through the skies Issei left the barrier and went over to Tannin's head and sat down looking at the land below them. [This is different] Ddraig said as he was able to see everything Issei did.

"I bet, but there's not many of us left. I became a devil, and only Ophis and Tiamat are left. Midgardsormr only sleeps, Yulong is with the monkey king retired for the most part. Ddraig Albion Vritra and Fafnir are all sealed away."

Issei had a thought hearing that "I've been wondering about that, why did you become a devil?"

"The era of large battles is long gone, the earth is no longer what it used to be. Rating games was the only way to get that fix of fighting still. That and have you heard of the Dragon apple?"

"No Ddraig hasn't told me about that." Issei said as it wasn't a term he heard yet.

"There's a race of Dragons that only lives by eating the apples. It used to grow on earth long ago in a time before humans. But as the environment changed for humans it became harder for them to grow. So I became a devil to get my slice of land where I could grow the fruit. That's the reason why I became a devil."

"Do you grow enough?"

"We do, and we avoided them becoming extinct. We also figured out how to grow them artificially. We also have some creatures that you would call Dinosaurs from long ago. We kept the ones that weren't violent and they roam around."

"Wait so did a meteor kill the Dinosaurs?"

"Oh, you bet, that thing was massive, part of the reason why we can't grow the Dragon apples there. That was also long ago."

Issei thought about that as he let it soak in. "You're nice for doing all that.'

Tannin laughed hearing that "Being called nice is a first. But there's more than nice in wanting my race to live on. But what are your goals?"

"Women" Issei said as he already went over that.

"That's not a goal, that's something that comes with age for you. You're a Dragon among other things. Women will come to you as easily as you breathe air. So what is your goal then."

"I don't know" Issei was frustrated hearing that "I got thrown into this world over stupidity, I don't even know what I'm doing half the time."

Light from the ground flashed up at them as Tannin descended towards a large pad that was next to a hotel in the forest. The size of the area dedicated to the hotel was massive as it could fit a town inside of it. He soon touched down on the ground as there was staff everywhere working to direct people around.

As they were disembarking limos drove up to them as the Sitri team got in one. Rias however wanted to thank Tannin for all of this. "Thank you for all of this."

"Think nothing of it, princess." He said before taking off once again as there was another spot for him to go.

They got into the limo as well and Rias was fixing Issei up as the wind messed up his hair from being outside of the barrier. "I know you didn't hear it but I declared War on Sona. A war for the sake of our dreams."

Issei tilted his head hearing that "Saji said he wanted to be a teacher so that's a bold war that you're going to wage."

She smiled at that "We all have our dreams that we want to fulfill."

The limo came to a stop as they got out of it and saw the size of the hotel they were at. It towered over them as staff members shuffled them around and into the building and then into some elevators that took them far up. "So what's the point of this party? I'm assuming it has a point, to begin with?" Issei asked as they were in the elevator.

"Officially it's a party sponsored by the Maou for the families go to together and have a proper meet and greet." Rias smiled trying to keep a straight face. Yumi and Akeno were another story as it wasn't as it all seemed. "That's the official part. Nobody is going to care that we came, only that there's another group in the room. Annual customs have turned into a reason for the next family heads to meet while the elders enjoy themselves drinking."

"Sounds dumb… I mean fun."

"I wish it was that simple." She said right as the doors opened up. Walking out of the elevator and across the walkway to the large doors they opened for them as they were the eyes of attention.

People tended to notice Rias wherever she went and this was no different. There were oohs and ahhs as she walked in and plenty of sucking up to her as some of the men were complimenting her while the ladies did the same more genuinely.

"Too many people." Gasper said as he was hiding behind Issei.

"You crossdress yet don't want to show it off? You confuse me."

"Issei" Rias called out to him "It's time to make our rounds and greet some people."

Issei followed her around like a child walking around with its parent seeing all new sights for the first time. Except for the sights were other nobles Rias was familiar with, after all this was a meet and greet so the idea did work. Issei saw many new people and women that he took note of, some with elf ears, darker skin tones, and even a few with horns.

After twenty or so minutes of introductions, Issei was let go and met up with Xenovia, Asia, and Gasper as they had secured some spots at a table while Akeno took Issei's spot. Yumi however was being fawned over by some boys but mainly by a large group of girls. Strong swordswomen were not as common as magic users but the ones that did advance were looked at with admiration. "Food" Xenovia said as she placed plates down in front of everyone.

"Thank you" Asia said looking at the plate.

Issei however saw something in his peripheral vision as a girl with blonde hair and a purple dress with red and orange accents of a bird walk up to him. When she stopped in front of him Issei opened his big mouth "Your dress is much better than that silly pink poofy thing."

"It's been a while Red Dragon Emperor."

"Your Riser's sister"

She was angry hearing that "It's Ravel Pheonix, this is why Low-Class Devils are so disagreeable."

Issei nodded "Let's go with that, so how's your brother? Still, in pain I take it."

She shook her head and sighed at that "He's gotten over the pain part but he's in low spirits due to you taking Rias from him. It should be a humbling experience for him as he's relied on his talent, which inflated his ego. It should be a good lesson for him."

"What did you do to him?" Xenovia asked

"I punched an immortal phoenix till he gave up." He told Xenovia as he looked back at Ravel "Besides that, you're quite brutal on your brother even tho you're a part of his group."

"I was traded to my mother recently as she has unused pieces to exchange around. And my mother doesn't participate in rating games so I am what they call a Free Piece."

Issei tilted his head sideways hearing that "I knew about trading but not the free piece part."

"Red Dragon Emperor…"

Issei held his hand up stopping her. "Yeah, don't call me that, I have a name it's Issei Hyoudou. Issei Ise same thing whatever you want."

"Realy?" She seemed surprised and yet happy at the same time "To call you by your name and not your title? Very well then Ise I shall call you that without reservations."

Behind Ravel appeared a woman with a white mask covering the right side of her face "My Lady some people are looking for you."

"Oh, I understand." She said as she reached down to the seams on her dress and gave a quick bow. "Next time we meet maybe we can have some tea. I can also make you a cake" She blurted out before she ran off to see the others.

Issei didn't know what to think hearing that "Issei Hyoudou"

He looked at the girl with the mask "You are uh Isabella right?" Issei asked thinking back to the match.

"Yes, I'm surprised you remembered my name. You are also far stronger than you were when we last met."

"So are you Ravel's escort or did you actively want to come to this stuffy party?"

Isabella nodded at that "It's something like that. She has a hard time grasping at some things so I am her escort. But in the time since then, she has only talked about you. She seems to be quite fond of you and the fight that you put up against Riser."

"You know I thought she would be complaining considering everything."

She shook her head "The exact opposite, in time you will understand."

Issei smiled at that "I'm clueless when it comes to most things, but I could read her attitude there. Do devils use cell phones as we do?"

"We do… I understand." She held her hand out as a small booklet appeared and she handed it off to him. Issei scribbled in it and handed it back to her. "Very well then, have a good time at this party." She said before walking away from them.

"Ise you have quite a large amount of devil friends" Gasper said once she was gone.

"You know more about me having friends than I know about having them." He looked at Gasper "Considering I only have two human friends." He grabbed a few grapes as he saw Koneko walking out of the room. "Hey uh stay here for a while."

"Where are you going?" Xenovia asked as Issei was walking away.

"Gotta take care of something." he said as he dipped out of the room and pushed the button on the elevator.

"So what's going on." He heard Rias while waiting for the elevator.

"Koneko ran out of the room like she was following something."

"I saw that" Rias said as the doors opened up "Yet I have to keep my eye on you."

"I figured as much" He said as they entered the elevator and headed to the ground floor. The two of them started looking around and asking anyone if they saw her. Rias summoned her little bat familiar as it looked around for her. When it came back it gave her a status report telling them that she was in the forest. "Why is she out in the forest?"

"I don't know, but this behavior is abnormal for her." She said as they started making their way into the forest by following her familiar.

They walked through the forest for a few minutes pushing tree limbs to the side got deeper in. Getting closer to a clearing Rias pulled Issei to the side as they hid behind a tree looking out into a clearing they saw Koneko standing there looking up at a tree. "It's been a while."

"Why are you here?" Koneko put some emphasis on that as she heard that voice.

"How cruel Shirone, is that how you're going to treat your big sister."

Hearing the name Shirone was something new for Issei as he had yet to hear that name. "Kuroka"

She laughed hearing the anger in Koneko's voice "It's so nice of you to follow my little kitty out here." Issei saw the girl make a little paw motion with her right hand.

"I know you idiots are over there." They heard another male voice that they were familiar with. This time it was Bikou who came out from one of the trees near Kuroka. "Removing your presence doesn't work with senjutsu. You still occupy space and energy is distorted in that area."

Knowing that the two of them were caught they came out from behind the tree and walked over to Koneko. "Ise, Rias" Koneko was surprised to see the two of them there.

"If it isn't the Monkey Boy, how's Vali doing?"

"Fine" He looked at Issei "Seems you got a bit stronger."

"Oh yeah" Issei nodded at that one "Just a bit stronger."

"Nya?" Kuroka was now fully visible as they could see that she was wearing a black kimono that revealed the top of her breasts.

Rias ignored that "So what are you here? A terrorist attack?"

"Too much work." Bikou groned hearing that. "We're on break and the dumbass over here wants to visit the devils since they're having a party."

"Ney Bikou, who's this weirdo staring at my breasts."

"He's the Red Dragon Emperor."

It was almost as if a light turned on in her head "Oh so he's the one Vai was talking about. Guess she wasn't wrong, he is kinda cute."

Issei had to process what he just heard "What that girl thinks I'm cute?"

"Whoops!" Kuroka held her hand up to her mouth swinging her feet back and forth.

"Kuroka we need to leave, or our cover is going to be blown."

"It's already been blown Nya." She pushed herself off the tree branch landing on the ground. "Let me grab Shirone then we can go."

Issei put his hand on Koneko's shoulder "How about you just leave?" He asked but was more telling her to leave.

"Oh, this one is hard-headed." She pointed at Issei "But no."

Issei held up his left hand revealing the gauntlet "I'm not asking you, I'm telling you to leave."

Kuroka smiled hearing that "A feisty one, Vai said you were an interesting one. So let's see how that goes." She held her right hand up as purple symbols appeared around her fingers. A quick purple smoke flooded the area as Rias and Koneko started coughing. "Oh?" She said seeing that Issei didn't react to it.

[WELSH DRAGON BALANCE BREAKER!] Issei was quickly enveloped in his armor as he pointed his hand at Kuroka. A green ball of energy formed in his hand as he shot it at her. Kuroka was quick to sidestep it as flew past her tearing trees apart and gouging the land. "Leave," Issei said looking at her as the ground shook as the blast detonated. The pressure wave quickly followed as the smoke was pushed away freeing the two of them. A second ball of energy formed "This one flies much faster and will hit you."

Kuroka looked behind her seeing that most of the forest behind her was missing a large chunk of it. Bikou however took the hint as he went over to Kuroka and spun his staff striking the ground as the two of them sank into it. "Seems you have grown."

Seeing that the two of them disappeared his armor did the same leaving the three of them alone. "Why" Was all Koneko said still wondering why they were there.

Issei got down to her eye level took his index finger and tapped her on the nose. "I always wanted a kitty. And now that I know there's one here you think I'm just going to let her run away?"

Rias hit Issei on the side of the head before she hugged Koneko. "Your family and that's all that matters. You matter to me and I can't just let you walk away and give up everything you've done so far." There were some sniffles heard from Koneko as this was only just the start.

Later in the night after questions were asked about what transpired. But making it back to the mansion there was something that still needed to be talked about. They gathered once again in Issei's room as Azazel was there with him. "I trust you have a plan for this match?" Azazel asked Rias as the match was tomorrow.

"Only a basic one, right now we know too little about the match so planning everything is impossible."

Azazel nodded hearing that "That's good, but here's a better question. Do you know what the Sitri group can do? After watching the fight with the Pheonix and Kokabiel they have to be aware of what you can do."

"She knows what most of us can do."

"Okay, then what can she do?" Azazel asked her once again.

"Sona can summon water and shape them into creatures. Her Queen and Pawn have a sacred gear, outside of that I haven't been able to confirm their abilities."

Azazel knew where that was going already "You're at a disadvantage then. With eight members on her side, it's an even numbers game. Yet you most likely hold a power advantage you can't let that go to your head. Sona's team is bound to have a diverse role in Fighters, Wizards, Techniques, Power, and Supports how much their spread is the question." A little image appeared in his hand they all could see it as it had a stat breakdown "Issei is a Power Fighter, Koneko is a Fighter. Rias and Akeno are Wizards. Yumi is pure technique excelling in speed. Xenovia is a Power that has plenty of speed. Asia and Gasper are supports but Aisa could lean Wizard while Gasper is technique. Your team stacks power, while there's nothing wrong with that it can be countered by Technique types."

"You can counter a counter with more power." Xenovia said as she was quite sure of it.

Azazel however shook his head at that "Ask the human car manufacturers about that. You can only throw so much power at a problem. A good technique type can walk all over a power type with the right set of counters. Anything damage-wise that the Power user can dish out can be thrown right back at them." Xenovia was silent hearing that as he looked over at Issei and Yumi. "Issei with your balance breaker do you think you can win against Yumi?"

Issei scratched his chin thinking about it. "If I can match her speed and get a hand on her, maybe. If she's still faster than me I don't see how I could do it. Unless I were to do something like rip off her skirt even then I don't see it if I'm not fast enough."

"Well Rias, What kind of counters do you think the Sitri team has against Issei?"

Rias thought for a second "Well it's mostly girls so I don't think most are fighters so a low chance of anything."

"His Dress break skill is pure evil. It should drive all the girls away."

"Yes" Rias agreed with that "That would leave mostly Saji."

"Most people understand how strong you are after that little show last night." Azazel looked at Issei "And it's not just Sona Sitri who noticed it. They're going to find a way to beat you before you can transform."

"I think I can handle the transformation part."

"Listen I believe you have a good chance of winning this game. But you need to keep a calm and level-headed. Some things can happen but if they do you need to keep calm and deal with them as they come. Don't overthink things and don't underestimate the value of a single percentage. You can do more with less."

The following afternoon however was game day for them as they were down in the basement of the Gremory mansion. All of them were in a magic circle getting ready to leave as Rias' parents were waving them goodbye and wishing for a successful match. "Do your best!" They heard Millicas say as they teleported off to start the game.

On the other side they appeared in a dining room of a fast food restaurant and to everyone aside from Gasper it looked familiar. "I didn't expect this match to be in the department store."

That's when it hit everyone as they knew what this place was. Issei walked around a few tables and peered out of one of the tables as he saw the inside of the department store. It looked like the real thing just lacking people inside to maintain it and sell goods.

{Good Afternoon everyone, I am Grayfia Lucifuge Queen of the Lucifer group. Today I will be handling the role of arbiter for this match between the Gremory and Sitri group.} They heard her voice over an intercom but it was crystal clear. {In the name of Sirzechs Lucifer my master I will be watching over this match between these two families. In front of you is a battlefield for today's game. It is the department store near Kuoh Academy that Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri attend. The two of them are on separate sides of the department store as the game gets ready. Rias Gremory has her Base on the second floor and the opposite side of her, Sona Sitri has her base on the First floor. For pawns to promote they need to locate the opposite base. This match however has special rules to it.} They heard a snap of fingers as a few items appeared in front of Rias {A single bottle of Pheonix tears has been supplied to each team, as well as the rules of this match. Once this announcement ends you will have thirty minutes to prepare for the battle, contact with the opponent is forbidden.}

Rias looked at the book to see what there was. "Rules are that we are not allowed to Destroy the department store. That eliminates any form of ending a match quickly."

"That's not so bad for me, I don't have to use an energy attack I can still punch things."

"That still leaves Akeno and myself at a disadvantage," Xenovia said hearing that.

"That's not good," Akeno said thinking about what they could use. "There's far too many places for Gasper to look even if they recreated every item for sale."

"Well, it gets worse." Rias held a pair of glasses up "Gasper's eyes are banned in this match. Seems they put a restriction on his Sacred Gear due to him not having perfect control. Even the use of Ise's blood is banned." She handed him the glasses as he put them on.

"So he's limited to magic and his vampire powers." Issei said hearing that.

Rias nodded at that"Turns out the idea of stopping somebody in time is quite strong. So we don't know what kind of counterattacks they will use. So we have to do whatever we can with whoever we face. The Rules limit us but this is just something that we have to overcome. Anyone can win with the proper mindset." She looked at Yumi "Search to see if the Parking garage is intact. The roof access should be in the same area."

"Yes," Yumi said as she quickly darted out of the room.

"What are you thinking with the cars?" Issei asked hearing that

"Well they could throw them at us making them into a bomb of sorts"

Hearing that from Rias was odd considering he was just told destruction was off limits."But doesn't that break the rules of destruction?"

"Normally it should, but if it is included with the game field then it's fair." She looked at Gasper "Turn into your bats and scout out as many stores as you can and inform us of whatever you can."

"Okay." Gasper quickly turned into a blob of black before bats scattered out everywhere.

"Everyone else go look around." Rias said as they went to their own devices looking around the department store.

Everyone wandered around as Issei found himself in the bookstore not far away from their base. Looking through the books he saw that not only were the covers recreated perfectly but the insides of them were there as well. But that was when it hit him, if the novels were recreated then the adult section would have to be as well. So making his way down to the adult section what did he find? A Mountian of porn that was one hundred percent intact. He didn't have much of a need for porn once Rias and Asia moved in with him but a little peak didn't hurt.

"To think you would be here looking at naughty things before the match." He heard Akeno as she leaned on his shoulder looking at what he was reading.

Issei quickly slammed the book shut hearing her "I was uhhh just looking to see how far they recreated everything."

She reached over and grabbed the book from his hands "It's fine." She said looking at the book "It's rather refreshing that you're like this it makes you different." Taking the book out of his hand she flipped through it "So this is what you were looking at. Maybe we can try it sometime."

"Akeno that's a double penetration in a maid outfit. If you want to wear a maid outfit I'll go down on you all day long. But I'm not keen on sharing you or anybody else with another man."

Akeno placed the book back on the shelf as she put her right arm around him clinging to him. "Surely you have something in your book of spells that could alienate that problem." He laid her head on his shoulder grabbing whatever she could of him. "Just be quiet, I need to take as much courage as I can from you." Her voice changed as he was softer and there was a slight twinge of pain in it. "I'm scared and I need everything I can get to help me with this power."

Issei's left arm flailed as he got hold of her and rotated her in front of him. "Courage is free, but anything else requires payment."

She wrapped her arms around him "Will you be there when I use my light powers?"

Issei's hands slid down getting a little grab of her ass "I will be, but you have to show me it."

"As long as you are there" She said in a very muffled voice speaking mostly into Issei's clothes.

"It's time" The two of them heard Koneko as they looked at her.

"Oh my, it seems as if we were caught." Akeno tried to act surprised at it.

Koneko however didn't care about it as she walked over to Issei and grabbed his arm holding onto it. "I need courage as well." She looked up at him. "Are you afraid of my Nekomata powers?"

He understood where she was going with this as she was scared of what as was. "No not exactly, it's quite the opposite." Think back to when he saw the cat ears on her and the tail behind her. "I had to hold myself back as I wanted to touch your ears and stroke that little white tail of yours."

"But I said so many mean things to you."

"And?" Issei looked at her "It wasn't wrong, especially before I lost my vcard. I thought about asking you if you wanted to join in during the pool party. But I figured you were going to stay out of it all."

She tightened her grip on his arm and hit her head on his body resting it there. "I'll use my powers." Issei was surprised to hear that as now it was a two-for-one. "I hate what she became, but as we are now, I don't have much of a choice."

"It will be okay. You will become the best cat girl in the underworld." He crouched so he was at eye level with her. "I'll be there for you Koneko so you don't have to worry about anything going wrong."

"You're a gentle Dragon for being a pervert." Koneko's face was red as she said that.

Issei could only smile at that "Asia and Rias have told me the same thing." With Koneko holding his hand he headed out with Akeno as they all met up as the last few minutes ticked over till the beginning of the match.

{The match will be starting in a moment. This match will be a blitz match with a time limit of three hours, BEGIN!}

"Let's Go!" Rias shouted "Plans were agreed upon so make this game a win! We will not lose again." Everyone scattered hearing that as they could hear her through the intercom. "Yumi Xenovia to the Parking Garage, Ise Koneko to the search the stores, Gasper search for any signs of movement. Eliminate the forward movement then Akeno Asia and I will link up towards the end and we will deal a swift ending blow."

Running through the buildings they got into one of the larger department stores on the second floor as Koneko came to a stop. Her little white ears popped out and twitched as out from her skirt slid out a tail that matched. "Something is moving near us." She said as she was looking around.

"Okay, but how?" Issei asked her as he had no clue what this movement was.

"I can use senjutsu to read my surroundings. It's not that great right now but it's better than nothing."

"I see," Issei said as they were walking through the department store.

Koneko snapped her head up "Above"

"We have the high ground!" They heard Saji's voice as he fell with one of the girls on his back. Issei put up a block and he kicked him before he hit the ground. "The first attack belongs to us."

Issei laughed hearing that as he saw the brunette twin-tailed girl Rukuro got off Saji's back. "If I'm taller than you and we are on the same floor, do you have the high ground anymore?"

Saji held his hand up as a black and purple gauntlet "So are you ready for a fight?"

"A fight?" Issei asked hearing that as he said that there was a mark of a lizard that continued up his hand. "I got three hours, and training was quite brutal."

"We did some training as well." Saji smiled at that as he was ready for anything to come.

{Gasper Vladi Bishop of Rias Gremory retired.} They heard an announcement from Grayfia.

"Well, it looks like the trap for Gasper worked." Saji smiled at that "Since his Sacred Gear is sealed away that leaves him with just his Vampire powers."

Issei figured it out as did Koneko "Oh your base is the Grocery store on the first floor so you used Garlic."

"Bingo, a simple yet effective method to take him down."

Issei agreed with it with a nod. "Punching him would have worked as well." Saji lifted his hand as a black tentacle shot out latching onto Issei's hand. "The hell?"

[Carefull, it's draining your power. Anything you do he will get some of it as well.] 'Right, so the simple way it is.'

Seeing that the line was connected Rukuro and Koneko started throwing blows at each other as Saji did the same. Issei however was dodging them with ease "Come on Saji, you trained for a month and your taking my powers you got to be doing better than this." Issei sidestepped a swing that was going for his face as he pushed Saji in the chest. While toppling backward Saji yanked his arm making it so he pulled Issel's hand with him but the opposite happened as he pulled on his arm as it sinched jolting Saji. "I'm impressed that it didn't snap." Issei said as he reached down and tried to tear it apart.

"What's the matter." Saji laughed at him seeing how he couldn't break the line. "Too strong for you?"

"No just using the wrong tool for the job." Issei said as he let go of it seeing as he wasn't going to be able to pull it off. "Koneko hurry up with her I could use some help removing this." They heard shelves falling over as the two girls were punching each other.

"So she's a cat girl?"

Issei nodded at that "Yep surprised me as well. Heyyyyyyyyy I see what you're doing here."

"Rukuro now!" Saji shouted as he threw something on the ground and there was a flash of light blinding him.

Issei felt a fist crashing into his face as he was still blinded. [Oh he got you good, you should be able to figure it out.] There was soon a punch to the abs then back and a final one to his face. "Not bad Saji" Issei opened his eyes as it wasn't so blurry but he could make out what was where. "But what happens when I hit you back?"

"I'm being serious here Hyoudo, I'm going to beat you."

Vision returned to his eyes as he could see everything now. "Saji I'm sorry" They hear Ruruko call out to him as Koneko hits her and she fades away.

{Pawn Ruruko Nimura of Sona Sitri retired.}

"He's draining your power." Koneko said seeing the line connected to his hand.

"He wants me to double my power is the correct answer." Issei said as Saji pointed his fingers at him forming what looked to be a magic bullet at him. He went to reach for him with his right hand but a Saji shot it at him. [Divide!] A white gauntlet appeared on his right hand as a white gauntlet appeared and the energy was reduced.

"You cut my attack in half" Saji was surprised to see that "But that's her ability."

"Yeah, I gotta say that was a surprise that it even worked. But let's end this little game shall we?" [WELSH DRAGON BALANCE BREAKER.] Now clad in his red armor Issei looked at Saji "Well is this what you wanted?"

Saji smiled "It only drains you even more by the second."

"Good" Issei was the first one to throw a punch and it smacked Saji clean in the face. It caused him to stumble over and then the brawl began as the two of them started throwing punches at each other.

"Why do you fight?" Saji asked as he sent attacks back at Issei.

"For titties, I just want to be with them and not here." Issei looked up and saw a Sofa flying at him as he moved out of the way only to get hit by the cushions.

"I want to rub and touch them as well!"

"Well ask one of the girls out on a date then maybe you can touch a boobie. Until then…" Issei punched Saji a few more times in the face and chest "I have a match to win." He swung one more time with a fast uppercut knocking Saji to the floor.

"I…" Saji didn't get to finish as he faded away.

{Pawn Saji Genshirou, Sona Sitri retired.}

Koneko looked at him as that black line was still stuck to his hand "Were you serious about that?"

"I love all the boobies, the big ones I like the best." He jiggled his hand "Seems this is still attached."

Koneko reached over and grabbed it "Maybe I can" Her right hand glowed green for a moment as she did a swift karate chop motion slicing through it. "Senjutsu seemed to break it."

"Because he is no longer controlling it?" Issei asked getting a shrug from Koneko.

"Everybody it's time to assemble at the assigned point so we will finish this game." Everyone heard Rias' voice over their magic circle connections.

In a dimly lit parking garage, Yumi and Xenovia were looking around waiting for their opponents to appear. As they made their way down to the first floor of the structure they saw three figures standing in front of them guarding the door to the first floor.

"We expected to find you here Yumi Yuto and Xenovia.." A tall black-haired woman came out from the shadows as she was holding a naginata a long-staff sword. Behind her, two other girls appeared as well.

"Tsubaki Shinra,Tomoe Meguri, and Tsubasa Yura. So the rumors of you having a Naginata are true then." Yumi said as an announcement played for everybody.

{Gasper Vladi Bishop of Rias Gremory retired.}

"Hearing that and yet you are still calm?" Tsubaki asked as she pointed her naginata at Yumi.

Xenovia sighed hearing the announcement. "He didn't train hard enough and I'm going to chase him with garlic now."

Yumi had her holy demonic sword materialize in her hand "Looks like we will have to avenge him." She charged at Tsubaki and the two of them exchanged a few blows

"Yes, we will." Xenovia pulled a sword from a magical enchantment that housed her weapons. The blade was sheathed in light as she rushed towards Tomoe.

Tomoe grasped the blade she had sheathed on her hip as she swung to match Xenovia's strike. When the two blades clashed the light that shrowded around Xenovia's blade shattered revealing a thin blade with a claw near the hilt. "You have a second holy sword? How!" Tomoe was shocked seeing it.

Xenovia pressed the attack trying to knock Tomoe off balance. "Durandal is way too destructive for a fight like this. So Issei loaned me this for today." Xenovia continued the attack forcing Tomoe to step back as Ascalon released a small burst of holy power with each strike.

Ascalon glowed more and more as Tomoe saw a small magic circle in Xenovia's hand. She readied herself for another assault as Tsubaki noticed a Holy aura flowing from Xenovia's hand and into the blade as it was connected to a magic circle. "You can siphon Durandel's power even when it's locked away."

Xenovia smiled hearing that "Training to be able to use Durandal in new and interesting ways has been quite effective. While I managed to do it, I gained better control over it as well." Xenovia dashed towards Tomoe as they swung blades once again only for her blade to be knocked away as it bounced on the floor.

Once Tomoe was unarmed Xenovia raised her blade ready to strike her down another voice came out. "Reverse!" Yura shouted as she grabbed ahold of Ascalon's blade with her hands pushing Xenovia away. Once the blade was clear she landed a swift punch to the gut sending Xenovia flying backward skidding across the ground.

Yumi broke off her fight with Tsubaki as she moved towards Xenovia. "What happened there?"

She stuck Ascalon into the ground to use as leverage to stand up "She grabbed ahold of Ascalon as her hands were glowing. When she yelled out reverse the blade did no damage to her yet she hit me with her fists and it felt like demonic power."

Yumi thought of as many outcomes as she could "Swap with me, I'll deal with the two of them. Her naginata has a long reach and the wood is reinforced to be like steel."

"Okay." Xenovia stood up as Yumi dashed forward swinging her sword at the two girls. Xenovia headed towards Tsubaki as she swung her blade down in a downward diagonal slash Xenovia dodged it giving her how much range she needed to work with. Xenovia was able to close the gap after repeated swings striking the shaft of her naginata repeatedly.

{Pawn Ruruko Nimura of Sona Sitri retired.}

The call was promptly ignored as Tsubaki was now backed into a coroner as Xenovia lept into the air swinging Ascalon downward to strike the naginata. However, she moved her weapon out of the way as a giant mirror formed in front of Xenovia. "SACRED GEAR MIRROR ALICE!."

Xenovia was long past the point of stopping her attack as it impacted the mirror shattering it into a million pieces. As the pieces reformed Xenovia was engulfed in a flash of light and struck by a massive blast of energy. She was blown backward as her outfit was ripped open cutting her between her breasts down to her hip. Yumi once again broke off from the fight to deal with Xenovia, as she was retreating she heard Tsubaki call out "It was foolish of you to let a Power type fight me. I can reflect anything you throw at me and be twice as powerful."

Yumi rounded a corner with Xenovia as she placed her on the ground leaning her on the wall. She examined the gash as it was deeper than she first saw. Yumi grabbed some of the supplies she looted from the pharmacy during her inspection and began bandaging the wounds "Don't bother." Xenovia coughed up some blood. "I'll disappear from here soon."

Yumi kept bandaging her up "I don't plan on abandoning an ally."

"You don't look like Issei, yet your actions are just like his."

Yumi smiled upon hearing that, "While not everybody approves of how he is, his actions in combat are quite noble. I want to better myself and be like him."

"You want to be like Issei? I didn't know you wanted to be a pervert."

Yumi flinched hearing that "Maybe we can skip on that part. I want to be the kind of person who never gives up and Issei has shown me that."

Xenovia grabbed the hilt of Ascalon as it lit up "Issei has treated me quite nicely." She handed Yumi Ascalon as she grabbed ahold of it and the magic circle in her hand passed from her to his hand. The clacking of footsteps could be heard as they got closer. "I have already resolved my fate, see to theirs." Xenovia said as she closed her eyes as she faded away in blue light.

{Knight Xenovia Quarta, Rias Gremory retired}

Yumi stood back as she crafted a sheath from her sacred gear to house Ascalon. She walked towards the girl's footsteps as Tsubaki's voice echoed in the parking structure "Are you ready to be the other retirement?"

The three girls were in front of Yumi with Tsubaki in the back as Yumi stabbed her sword into the ground. "I have prepared myself the question is have you?" Her holy demonic sword radiated power as did her left hand. "Xenovia left this for me. DURANDAL BIRTH!" Thousands of blades appeared at seemingly light speed, faster than she was ever able to create them beforehand. The swords were now infused with large quantities of holy power that radiated off them as they pierced Tomoe and Tsubasa as if they were nothing. Tsubaki was able to dodge the attacks fast enough as she was able to get away just in time retreating up into the structural support.

{Knight Tomoe Meguri and Rook Tsubasa Yura, Sona Sitri Retired.

Yumi pulled her sword out of the ground as she chased after Tsubaki. She followed her back into the mall only for her to slip away. A voice came over the earpiece "Everybody it's time to assemble at the assigned point so we will finish this game." Everyone heard Rias' voice over their magic circle connections.

As Issei and Koneko heard that they moved to the point as it was on the first floor. "Come on," Issei said as he picked her up jumped over the railing, and landed on the first floor. The two of them made their way over to the central section of the department store that had a large water fountain. They were the first ones to make it there as they heard a voice. "Hello Issei Hyoudou and Koneko Toujou. The two of them saw Sona along with two other girls, the long white-haired bishop Momo and Brunette braided twin tail Reya. "It seems that your balance breaker is far more dangerous up close than I once expected it to be." There was a barrier around her as they stood still.

"Sona how bold of you to come to the center of this match." They heard from Rias as they looked behind them and saw Akeno and Asia along with her.

"And you are no different Rias?" Sona said looking at her. "You're a king who walked into the middle of the battlefield as well. This is the final stage of the battle after all." Sona looked at Issei to see if anything was going on with him "I'm surprised that you're still standing considering what was done to you." Momo reached behind her and held up a large blood bag filled with the crimson lifeforce "We can't hurt you directly but you can steal your blood and force you to retire. That eliminates your determination to go on to the very end."

"How did they take your blood?" Rias asked as this was a new development for her.

"Saji's tentacle thingy. To be honest the three of us thought it was draining my power. Seems as if we were all wrong."

"Quite so, Even as a Reincarnated devil or a Human you still need blood, it's lethal to lose half of it even with the extra that devil transformations make. And you are close to retiring from the blood loss. You might have enough energy for two or three attacks before the Rating games systems retire you for safety reasons. Once you are defeated the main problem is removed from the battle. A battle for my dream and I don't plan on stopping." She looked at Rias "I will destroy your pride Rias." Rias wasn't happy to hear that. "Know this Hyoudou, Saji put everything he could into beating you. You may have beat him in strength but he still beat you at the end of the day."

"Two or three attacks huh?" Issei thought about what she said. "That's a lot of talk for somebody in striking range, this is still a match after all."

"Momo" Sona said as the white-haired girl opened up a magic circle and poured his blood down it. Reya took out a vial that was the phoenix tear and she threw it on the magic circle glass and everything.

"Reverse" Momo said as there was a flash of light.

Issei put up a guard as did the other girls forming a barrier behind Issei as he was going to take the brunt of it. He felt large chunks of what felt like concrete hitting him in the arms chipping away at his guard. But everything else on his body was taking a pelting as the energy dissipated.

When the light died down and the attack stopped they saw that happened as Issei's arms were cut and most of his armor was missing but pieces of it were embedded in his arms and shoulders. "Ise!" Rias called out to him as she saw the blood draining.

"Well, this could be worse." He said looking at his body and seeing the state he was in. "really starting to feel it now." He shook his arms as blood splattered over the floor. Deactivating the balance breaker was his only choice to conserve energy.

"Ise your arms" Asia called out to him as he stopped her from coming closer.

"It's fine, painful but fine." Issei put his hands together as they glowed green for a moment "So what one of you two wants to be eliminated first?"

Akeno walked forward with her hands radiating electricity. "Do you need a hand?" She asked as Issei saw what she was doing.

"I still have my two hands but help is appreciated. I have a new technique I want to try… but we can try it later."

"Why not try it now?" Akeno asked hearing that.

"Not sure I have enough power for it or the fact that it's the ability to talk to breasts."

"Your weird." Momo said hearing that "Like really weird."

Akeno extended her hand out as lightning shot out towards them "He's our weird."

"Reverse" A magic circle was called up but nothing happened as Akeno's attack went through the magic circle and struck Momo as she faded into white light. Sona however flickered for a moment.

{Bishop Momo Hanakai, Sona Sitri Retired}

"Why don't you use it anyway?" Akeno asked him with a smile on her face. "After all I just showed you mine."

"Oh yeah?" Issei raised an eyebrow at that as he looked at her. "Just remember this is your problem as you wanted to see it." He said with a smile as he pushed his hands together a green aura radiated from him. It kept spreading outwards as it engulfed all of them in the green aura. Issei pointed at Reya "So what do you have to tell me?"

(Yumi is so cute with her sword and I got to see it all.) He heard a voice that sounded like Reya but her mouth didn't move.

"Uh huh, so where is Sona?" Issei asked as he pointed at what looked to be Sona "She's not real."

(I am real) They heard a second cute voice that was Sona's.

Issei nodded at that "Okay, you're about as real as a push-up bra. The boobies are there but it's a deceptive advertisement." He pointed at Reya "So where is she?"

"What's a push-up bra?" Asia asked as she didn't know what he was referring to.

"I'll tell you later." Rias pushed it to the side.

(Oh she oh the roof.)

The green void faded away "I hope you're happy about that one Akeno." Issei said to her as his face was showing signs of fatigue and his breathing was getting deeper.

"You are a true pervert!" Reya shouted at him frustrated at what she just heard.

"Yes, I thought we went over this once before. Akeno can you end this?

Akeno stuck her hand out as lighting marked off her right hand as it struck Reya she instantly turned to white and Sona disappeared at the same time.

{Bishop Reya Kusaka, Sona Sitri Retired.}

"We need to talk about that later." Rias said as Issei fell to his knees. "Take it you going to stay here as walking isn't a thing you can do?"

"I feel like I just got run over by a dump truck. But I've been hit harder than this so far." Issei looked at her.

"Get back here!" They hear Yumi shouting as metal was clanging from the second floor.

"Mirror Alice!" Tsubaki shouted as Yumi slashed through the mirror and then ran to her right dodging the explosion

Yumi's sword disappeared as she held out her right hand "Petro, Basileus, Dionysius, Holy Mary. Please listen to my voice."

"No that's impossible!" Tsubaki shouted as she saw a magic circle appear next to Yumi's hand as it tore a small hole in the dimension.

"In the name of the saint logged in the holy blade, I release you from your chains. Durandal." A golden pommel appeared as Yumi grabbed it and yanked it out of the holding area.

"How" Tsubaki was in shock seeing the blade. "You're a demonic sword wielder not holy." She saw the blade was different from when Xenovia held it. "The blade is calm, unlike Xenovia."

"I don't demand power from it, only technique. Xenovia and I are two different types of users." She swung Durandal not hitting anything in particular but Tsubaki saw that her weapon was broken into two pieces.

"You even handle it better than her."

Yumi held the tip of the blade right above the ground not letting it sink in. "That's the difference in ability and strength."

"I see, it seems as if you are the true ace after all." Tsubaki realized that Issei wasn't the most dangerous one in the group. She watched as Yumi ran at her and swung Durandal only for her to fade away in that white light.

"I aim to surpass him." Yumi said as she watched Tsubaki fade away.

"Yumi!" Rias shouted getting her attention "Sona is on the roof. We're heading up there." Rias said as they headed to the stairwell and started walking up meeting up with her.

A few minutes later they got on the roof and saw that it was missing all of the AC units and other equipment that was stored up there. Only thing there was up there was Sona "Why the roof Sona?"

"A king must survive for as long as possible. After all the high ground shows everything possible below you."

Rias nodded at that "Yes I understand that much."

"Then you understand that we accomplished more than what should have been possible for us. Saji all but defeated Issei and Xenovia fell to Tsubaki's trap."

"Then let's settle it, Sona." Rias was ready for a fight.

Water started to pool near Sona as it seeped from the cracks as if she was drawing from all sources of water that were possible. Rias fired the first attack as she pointed at Sona and a ball of her power of destruction flew off her finger as Sona took some of the water and created a barrier letting Rias' attack impact with the water. "Come now Rias." Sona said as water formed around her hand turning into a hawk. It launched from her hand as other animals formed, Lions, snakes, and wolves appeared surrounding her as a large dragon hovered over her.

Rias smiled seeing the creatures in front of her. In her right hand, she formed a baseball-sized ball of energy and tossed it at the lion. It hit in nose as it slid right through it coring out a large hole through it. The Lion soon exploded back into water as Rias repeated the process this time as Sona sent her creations after her. The dragon was her priority as she threw a few attacks up to it and soon sent balls of energy to everything else vaporizing the water with it.

With a large portion of her water gone from a few attacks Sona understood where this was going as she held her hands up. {Sona Sitri has resigned from the match. The winner of this game is Rias Gremory.}

About an hour after the match Issei was sitting in a hospital bed as they had pulled an IV out of his arm from receiving a blood transfusion. He had lost more blood than his injuries to his arms. But he was able to walk around as they patched him up to a safe level where his body could deal with replenishing the rest of the supply. The reality of the match was that Yumi was far more important than she showed off and with the right conditions it was Issei enough to damage Issei. Issei however was given a Juice box and was set free to go meet up with the others. Issei found his way to where the rest of the girls were. "Hey," He said calling out them as he walked in the room.

Rias smiled seeing that he was up and active. "Good to see you are here. Oh, and the technique that you used is banned from here on out."

"Awwww" Issei complained upon hearing that.

"Don't aw me. That power is going to be a problem with female opponents and they will refuse to fight us if that's the case. So I'm going to have to say you can't use that anymore."

Issei looked over at Akeno " I told you." She smiled at that knowing what she did.

"But Koneko and Akeno overcame their walls so that's something to be proud of." That was something Rias was genuinely happy about. There were two knocks on the door "Come in" Rias said as the door opened up.

The door opened up as an old man with a super long white beard and a single eye "Who are you?" Issei asked seeing the man.

"Just an old man from the North Red Dragon, seems you need to do some studying Issei Hyoudou Red Dragon Emperor, or whatever you want to be called." Issei was confused as to how this old man knew who he was.

"Your Odin right?" Rias asked seeing the old man "I'm Rias Gremory and I believe this is the first time we have met." Rias however knew who this old man was.

Odin scratched his beard hearing that "Sirzechs little sisters, I saw you in the game and it was most impressive." His eye locked in on her breasts "Yes a mighty fight pair indeed."

They heard a smack as something hit him over the head "She's far outside of your age range. Think of what your wife would say." A female voice was heard standing behind him.

The old man scratched his head where he was hit "Well I've been on the couch for the last few thousand years. So looking at some tits isn't going to be any worse." He started muttering the rest to himself "To think there's a Valkyrie such as you." He complained about the woman behind him who was wearing an armored outfit with pink ribbon and pink tops to her leggings."Fine fine, can't have any fun around you. Guess we will deal with all the boring stuff." The two of them left as the armored lady gave them a quick bow before leaving.
