Ricks and Turns 2

2 Minutes Later

Issei couldn't sleep tonight. Something was weighing him down. According to Rick, he was the peerage's biggest asset, yet at the same time, he was the one wielding the poorest of results. Kiba on the other hand, the dude he considered a rival, was wielding the greatest results, according to Viser, he broke Rick's expectations.

Issei looked at Rias and Asia, who were both lying asleep. He needed enough strength to fight for and protect both, and also to prove his love and worth to the former. However, things seemed grim at this point, it seems like his dreams weren't even close to fulfilment.

These heavy thoughts caused him to begin to contemplate the days when he was just a closet pervert with his two best friends, at least back then, he could drown himself in his delusions. At least back then, even though he knew that his perverted desires were far from fulfilment, maybe even impossible to fulfil, he could still be happy despite that fact.

However, things now just seem out of hand. A gate to his dreams had opened, but he still isn't able to reach it, and that fact keeps rubbing itself in his face. Now unlike before, the reality of the feasibility of his desires just brings him nothing but sadness.

However, all that brooding nonsense was about to end once and for all when...

"Okay (burp) you little shit, follow me"

Rick demanded, as he suddenly appeared in the dormitory and dragged Issei through to the portal.

Issei and Rick appeared in a room that was back in the mansion.

The room was rectangular, and had no furniture in it. There was a thick red line that split the room into two equal sides. Rick and Issei were currently standing on the left half of the room.

"Rick where did y...?"

"Just hold on"

Rick interjected.

He then turned on a switch that was next to him. The right half of the room floor lit up briefly before seemingly returning to normal. Rick then turned to look at Issei.

"Okay, take your socks off and cross the line."

Rick demanded.

"Err, what?"

Issei stuttered, asking for clarification.

"I said, cross the fucking line!"

Rick demanded once more, albeit loudly.

Issei, feeling frightened, immediately took off his socks. Then he slowly began to walk towards to the right half of the room. He hesitated at first, but after the torture thing Viser had put him through, he honestly had nothing to lose, so he just gave in and put his right foot across the line, followed by his left foot.

At first it seemed as though nothing had happened. Then all of a sudden, a strange form of pleasure began to creep all over Issei, it started all the way from the bottom of his feet. It went all the way up to his chest, his head, his scalp, his stomach, and other...regions.

Suddenly, Issei slowly dropped down to the ground and began to moan in ecstasy.

"Oh, oh my, RICK WHAT IS THIS? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"

"I made you one with absolute reality."

"Oh HOLY FUUUUCK"

Issei couldn't control the amount of pleasure that was pulsating through his body, it felt like he was in heaven.

"Aaaaah, Oh shit. Ah fuck!"

Issei continued.

"Yeah, true level bitch."

Rick said monotonously.

Meanwhile, Rias, Asia and the rest of peerage could hear mourns coming through the still-opened portal. Rias and the peerage went through it and saw what was happening.

"Ahhh fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK"

Issei mourned, his orgasmic screams only increasing as he continued.

"Rick, what the hell is going on?"

Rias asked, generally concerned about what was happening. However, the very sight and state that Issei was in turned her cheeks red, as a part of her was curious.

"Don't worry about your friend, he's doing fine, in fact, he's better than fine."

"Why is he mourning like that?"

Akeno asked.

"Great question, but because of how you asked it, I feel like I have to clarify that he is not related to sex at all. This is something called Satchidananda, a metaphysical state of oneness with truth, consciousness and bliss."

"Um, Rick, I don't think you understand Issei at all, he's definitely in the mood."

Kiba stated.

"No, you chum bucket, he's experiencing the truth of reality, close to absolute reality. And the ecstasy is overwhelming him, just look at that face, does that look like someone who's in the mood."

"Yes."

Koneko answered.

"Well, you've never been fun or smart so believe whatever you want."

Rick responded, Koneko just raised his eyebrow at Rick.

"Ahhh yes, Aaaah fuck yeah!"

Rias went and stood just two inches away from the line, before calling out to Issei.

"Hey Issei, are you okay? How are you feeling there?"

Rias asked as Issei continued.

"Ahhh, P...prez! Whatever you do, don't go anywhere! I'm....I'm, I'M REALLY CLOSE!"

Issei responded.

"Wait what!? Computer, full body analysis!"

Affirmative. His testosterone production has increased by 95%

*Fuck!*

Rick turned to look at Koneko, who was smirking for being right.

"Fine you little grandma, you win."

Rick uttered begrudgingly.

"I was hoping this experience would be more philosophical but I guess I'll have to work with what I have.

He went back to the wall and turned the machine off, stopping the process.

"Okay, time's up. You, get out of there. You think I'm gonna let you jizz all over my perfect mechanism?"

Rick uttered before turning to look at the rest of the peerage.

"And you, go back to bed, this isn't a museum."

Rich commanded as he 'helped' them go through the portal and into their rooms. Rick then turned to look at Issei, who had stood up and dusted himself off.

*Huh, so he isn't freaking out? It must be because of the devil-genes*

Issei came back to the left side of the line, with a disappointed look on his face.

"Oh man, I didn't even get to finish"

Issei stated as he walked back to the portal. Just as he was about to go through, Rick closed it.

"Hey!"

Issei yelled.

Rick grabbed him by both arms and pinned him to the wall.

"Hey man, look, I wasn't gonna Jizz on your fl..."

"How did it feel?"

Rick questioned.

"What?"

"I asked you how it felt. Did it feel great?"

Rick continued, referring to True Level (or just Leveller).

"Well, it...it was amazing!"

"Good, because Viser gave me interesting news."

"Wait, Viser? What did she say?"

"Well..."

Rick began a recent memory.

3 Minutes ago

A few minutes passed as Rick lay in his bed, but just before he could get some shuteye, Viser appeared.

"Oh hey there, you seem a little more distraught than usual"

"Master, we have a problem."

When Rick heard that last word, he really paid attention.

"Who is it?"

"It's Ise"

"What's wrong with the ponytail Kid"

Rick asked.

"Well. One of them completed the training".

"Let me guess, was it Justin Bieber?"

"Yep, even self-evolved."

Viser replied.

"Huh."

Rick interjected.

"I'm sure you know by now that Kiba and Issei share opposing ideologies, Kiba being more on the straight and narrow, not to mention he's a man of conviction. Issei on the other hand is more of a degenerate, perverted and... well, closed off from the norm."

Viser explained.

"Well, based on what you just said, I'm guessing the ponytail kid sees Justin Bieber as some form of rival, it wasn't just a test of strength, it was also a test of ideologies"

Rick analysed.

"And with Kiba winning, and him being the least progressive it was clear who was more superior in both. So when that happened, Issei took an emotional hit. It felt like he lost both in strength and Ideology. Everyone in the peerage tried to cheer him up, but to no good. Think you can do something about that?"

Viser inquired.

Rick sighed deeply in annoyance.

"Yeah sure, why not?"

.

.

Now

Rick has Issei pinned to the wall.

"Oh, so she brought that up didn't she?"

Issei contemplated, his face appearing more down than usual.

"Do you remember what I told you before the training began?"

"Let me guess, you said you wanted results, not sob stories"

"Good, so you have a memory, now listen to me and listen clearly. You are a pervert, you're a simp, scum, filthy, a closet pervert."

"Okay, I know, I know I'm not Kiba okay, so you don't have to rub it in! Next thing you're gonna tell me is that I must learn from him"

"What no, fuck Kiba and his dumb convictions, no one gives a fuck about that shit. You are a fucking degenerate, so instead of being a pussy, just own it!"

"But I did, and I'm still behind him!"

"So what, you're just gonna assume that you're weak just because you like some tits. I like tits too, and even then I can reshape galaxies when I feel like it!"

Issei's eyes lit up at Rick's words.

"Wait, do you really like boobs?"

"Like? I fucking love em. And you like them too. You see? I know who you are. I know who you are boy because you're me! Minus the simp part. Also I'm not just saying this because it is a Guardians of the Galaxy reference"

"Wait, really? If that's the case, then why were you being a dick to me and my pals at school, if you had just told me we're the same, we could have been buddies you know!?"

Issei said, with tears whirling in his eyes.

"I was just fucking around man. Listen, my point is, even pervert can do some sick shit, I know this and I'm the biggest perv there is. If you find it comforting, just think of me as God, and you being made in...ugh...bits of my image."

Rick spoke confidently

.

.

"I really don't want to think that?"

Issei retorted, dumbfounded.

"Yeah whatever, fuck you. Look, how about we just make a deal. If you promise to complete your training before the start of the game, I'll give you permanent entrance and unlimited usage of the True Level Surface."

Issei's spirit lit the moment he heard that.

"REALLY!"

"Sure why not, you could even invite the other girls if you want."

And those word are what struck the nerve. Just imagining Rias, Akeno, Koneko and Asia's True Level reaction was enough to light a spark in the young devil's heart.

"Richard Sanchez!"

Issei called out in a serious and monotone voice.

"Huh?"

"I won't let you down, you can count on that!"

Issei answered.

"There's that fire I wanted to see, go show who's boss you degenerate sicko! Also never use my full name again!"

Rick said, reopening the portal to the dorm. Issei went in, feeling more confident than before. He had found conviction... I think.

And just like that that, night passed.

Day 6 of Training

Issei had taken Rick's advice and as a result, he had grown a new sense of confidence and bravery. His goals-lofty as they are- and ideals, were now fully affirmed by Rick's bet and words, but mostly words...definitely words.

As a result, Issei was no longer using his new culminated lightning speed to run away from Viser, but to combat her. It was certainly not fun, as he was taking a huge beating. However, his pain tolerance had grown as well and he could easily tank it.

But let's reserve Issei's story for later on. Right now, let's look at Rias. Of course, being the King of the Peerage, Rias was an essential part of the entire game. Her skill was exceptional, and her demonic power was great.

Rias was dodging attacks from Viser, however, like a normal being, her stamina wasn't infinite, she needed to find a way to get rid of her. However, that would require an extreme amount of energy. Which is why she came up with the idea.

She would unleash her power of destruction and condense it in her hand. That way, the force of impact would be great, not to mention she could easily focus it as she wouldn't be using that much power. She would also be saving power in the process.

Meanwhile, Akeno and Koneko kept trying to use the power of their true identities. Identities they either feared or despised. Whenever they would try, they would hesitate, leading to instant defeat. Of course, they felt that if Rick hadn't brought up the topic, things would have gone much better. Ignorance is bliss after all.

At the same time, he wasn't wrong, the holding themselves back did seem a little selfish, as their friend's livelihood was at stake. Fortunately for them, they would receive a little push from an unexpected source.

This leads us to our protagonist, Issei. As stated, Issei could now fight against Viser's clones. This would allow her body to adjust to a boost in strength as much as he now was to a boost in speed and lung capacity.

Of course, Issei was not one for hand-to-hand combat, although he was slowly learning. But in the meantime, he would focus most of the new ability he has, the demonic energy blast. This was a move that he can conjure by storing p demonic energy in the palm of his hand and using his sacred gear to boost its potency before firing it.

The move did drain him a lot, as he could fire about 30 blasts before getting tired out. So he decided to break apart the shots into intervals of 15 shots, and take a break for 30 minutes before firing the next set. Within that 30-minute break, he would focus on his strength and pain tolerance.

Akeno and Koneko could notice the hard work Issei was putting on, and how there was barely anything destructing him and they found it very odd, especially with how much damage he was receiving. He has been working this hard for the past six days of the seventh day they had been here and not even once, did he seem to be getting weaker, or losing motivation. If anything, he was becoming even more industrious by the second, almost as if he was possessed.

.

.

It was now night-time and they were about to rest. Viser allowed this because they would return to the earth the next day. Also, she had made an announcement about their new winner, Rias Gremory.

After congratulating her leader, Issei sought Asia's help so that he could recover from some of his injuries. And after that, he isolated himself from the rest of the group. He then went downhill and ended up next to a river, that was glistening due to the full moon of that night. He noticed a large boulder next to him and admired it. He then went on to sit right below it, and rest his back on it, with his arms crossed behind his legs.

Issei took a deep breath, and with a big smile, looked up to the sky.

"Okay, just three more days and that room will be mine."

He uttered.

"Room? What room?"

"Huh?"

Issei looked to his side and could see Akeno standing right next to him.

"Don't bother asking Akeno, it's probably something dirty again."

Issei looked to his other side and could see Koneko.

"Oh give me a break!"

He responded.

Akeno chuckled at the banter.

"Mind if we join you?"

She continued.

.

Two minutes passed as the three relaxed under the boulder and Akeno finally decided to ask the big question.

"Issei, I noticed that you've been working very hard lately, and if you don't mind me asking, what's pushing you?"

"Huh? Why do you wanna know?"

Issei chuckled whilst scratching his head.

"Just answer the question twerp."

Koneko retorted.

"Well, if you were to ask me, then I would say uuuuuuuuuuuuuh...."

Issei looked up in deep thought before looking down and chuckling. Akeno and Koneko stared at him, confused by his reaction.

"Oh who am I kidding, you already know me, the reason's definitely perverted."

He said scratching his head.

"Oh...I see"

Akeno uttered, trying to sound sincere, she was hoping to take a few notes out of Issei's page, in hopes that maybe she could find something that could motivate her to strengthen herself as well. The same goes for Koneko. However, it would appear that Issei, wasn't going to be the one to give them that.

"...But that's just it, isn't it?"

Issei continued.

"Huh?"

"That's it, I am a pervert down to the born, a shameful degenerate who gets destructed by any pair of boobies he sees. But at the same time, I couldn't be more proud of myself."

Issei uttered, much to the confusion of the two female devils.

"So I guess the reason I'm fighting, is because I'm a big pervert, and I'm not ashamed of it. So in a noble sense, I'm fighting for the right to prove my resourcefulness...as a pervert. And I do it with pride. I shouldn't be ashamed, scared, and spiteful of what I am, nor should anyone else, not you, not me, not anyone else. Everyone should have the right to become who they are, and not be ashamed of it."

And there it was, the push they all needed, from an unexpected source. If this dude was willing to show how versatile his perverted drive is, then what's stopping them from showing how versatile they are as a fallen angel, and as a sage user. It was just what they needed.

"Well, that hurt my head."

Issei said as he stood up and left.

"I'll catch up with you tomorrow."

And with that Issei left.

The seventh day of the sixth day finally arrived, and the peerage returned to earth.

On the seventh day, Koneko and Akeno would fight with even greater confidence, for themselves, and their friend. This of course shook Rias, who knew about their past and where they came from, but it also made her happy that they had rid themselves of that trauma.

On the second day of the seventh day, Akeno's victory was announced, and on the fifth day of the seventh day, Koneko would also follow. Now it was only Asia and Issei who were left.

Day 8 of Training

Rias, Akeno, and Koneko completed the training respectively, but unlike Kiba, they did not evolve. Now Asia and Issei were the only ones left. Speaking of Issei, he had previously promised Rick that he would start to take things more seriously, and well, he did start taking things more seriously.

In a matter of three days, Issei had developed two new abilities, courtesy of Rick's advice. He could now rip women's clothing apart just by a simple touch, and he could conjure up Demonic energy into his sacred gear, and fire it in the form of a destructive orb.

As for Asia, well, she was carrying a severely injured unconscious Viser clone. She was currently jumping across trees, trying to find a hiding spot in the forest. However, Viser didn't make this easy for her, as she had to find a place to heal the clone fast before the clone seemingly died, and she had to do this while defending it from other clones that wanted it dead.

Viser had really good eyes thanks to Rick's advancements, so she used this to her advantage to pinpoint Asia across the forest. So despite her ability, Asia still couldn't hide from Viser's clones within the trees. So she decided to finish this once and for all.

.

Two minutes later, Asia is attending to the injured clones by healing some of the small injuries, she knew she couldn't heal the fatal injuries yet, as they took more time, and would be interrupted by the two clones, who were now cornering her.

One was to her left and one to her right.

Asia stood up, she looked to her left, and then to her right before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.

*I'm not gonna lose, just remember what Mr. Rick said*

Asia spoke inwardly.

She recalled the 'secret to victory' that Rick had told her about. Just as the clones launched themselves at high velocity, and with fists ready, Asia opened her mouth and shouted the words out loud.

"? ? ? ? ?!"

She shouted out loud, this caught Viser off guard, as such language wasn't fit for someone like Asia. Asia lifted her hands astride and caught the fist in mid-air. Forcing a bit of devil power in her body, Asia conjured an electrical current from her body that shocked her opponent away. She then raised her hands upwards and activated her twilight healing.

She had previously realized that she didn't actually have to touch the person she was healing when using her sacred gear, she just needed her hands to be really close to the wound. So she had been trying to elongate that distance even more, and now was finally the time to show that.

"HEAL!"

She yelled out, a great green light lit the area, and after a few seconds, the clone was completely healed, meaning that Asia had passed the test.

Rias, Kiba, Akeno, and Koneko were watching the fight from a safe spot, their jaws dropped when they heard the things that Asia was yelling, and they could immediately tell that Rick had something to do with this.

"What tha..."

"Why, just why?"

"What kind of man tricks an innocent girl into saying such things?"

"I'm never getting over this."

Rias, Akeno, Kiba and Koneko commented. However, that wasn't the only thing that shocked them. There was another revelation, when she caught the fist, she accidentally opened her wings, and she only noticed it after healing the clone. Just like Kiba, Asia had also self-evolved in having two pairs of wings.

Day 9 – Final Day of Training

At last, the final day before the rating games, the time for Issei to finally prove himself was finally here. Everyone else was watching from a safe distance, as Issei and Viser were about to duke it out. This time, it really was going to be the fight of a lifetime.

Issei versus Viser certainly wasn't expected. But here we are.

They stood on top of the same hill where Viser broke Issei's diaphragm. Issei was intensely staring at Viser, who simply returned with a smirk.

"So, everyone else's made it accept you. Are you ready to quit, or do you wanna continue from where we left off last time?"

Issei just stood still and took a deep breath, before returning her comment with a belittling smile, which shook Viser.

*Such composure, he's not reacting to what I say? My, he really has grown, but has he grown enough yet?*

Viser commented inwardly, as she left towards Issei. Issei still refused to move, which made Viser question his intent. But as he got closer to the boy, and was about to strike him, she noticed that she was open, so she propelled herself sideways to avoid getting closer to him as she passed past him. However...

"Hmmm, so you really didn't even notice it did you?"

Issei spoke in a demeaning tone.

"Of course I did, why do you think I dodged it?"

"Huh"

Issei chuckled slightly.

"What's so funny boy?"

"Do you really think that's what I was talking about?"

Issei said as he raised his right hand upwards. With just a snap of his fingers, Issei tore the devil's clothes to shreds, shocking her once more with his precision.

She had so many questions at this point until she remembered that Issei's speed was currently his greatest asset.

"Viser."

Issei called out to the devil.

"Thank you. Thanks for chasing me around and torturing me when you caught up. I sure learned a great deal from that. And developed personal feelings of my own. I'd be sure to use them...WHEN I WHOP YOUR ASS!"

Issei uttered, which slightly frightened Viser and the peerage, who watched and heard it.

"Hmm, don't get too cocky I'm still not done with you!"

Devil Matriarch: Phoenix

Viser ignited into flames as he attacked him.

Viser-in her phoenix form- whirled around Issei, circling him. Before reforming again behind him and locking her with both her arms and locking him in position.

"Time to suffer."

Viser squeezed harder. However, Issei wasn't affected at all, in fact, his chest didn't even seem to be contracting. Viser immediately let him go and moved back.

"Hey now, why'd you stop?"

Issei asked sarcastically.

"I told you that kinda turned me on, didn't I!?"

Issei shouted as he suddenly appeared closer and punched her in the face, she had temporarily deactivated her phoenix form and was therefore vulnerable to Issei's attacks.

*Ddraig!*

*Boost!*

With his left fist, Issei punched Viser in the face. Fortunately for Viser, she managed to block it with her hands, although judging by how much that hurt, that punch would have definitely cost her a tooth or two.

Issei finally decided to take the offensive and launched at her.

Both began to repeatedly exchange fists, and whenever Viser transitioned to flames, Issei would then take the defensive and wait for her to attack. It was then that he when Viser would solidify. He made use of these very brief intervals to attack, and he didn't miss. Although Issei did take a lot of hits when she was in flames, the burns really inflicted a lot of damage.

The fight took to the sky, and everyone marveled as they watched the scenery. As the two flew past the cloud, Issei launched an attack with his left hand, but Viser caught it. He did the same with his right fist and foot, and his left foot, but they ultimately got caught.

Issei saw this as a chance to activate his new power.

.

.

From a distance, the peerage noticed a giant red beam appear from the sky. Once it disappeared, Issei, now clad in dragon-like armor, was grabbing a struggling Viser by the neck as she flew down to the ground.

Issei was no longer using his devil wings, but the dragon wings that came with his new form. And with these, Issei could fly just as fast as he could run, and right now, he was flying vertically downward.

"What tha hell is that?"

"Is that really Issei?"

Koneko and Kiba wondered as they stared at the sky.

.

Meanwhile, Viser managed to yank her way out of Issei by pushing him away with her feet. She ignited into flames once more and began flying away from him.

Issei launched explosive red orbs in her direction, which she

constantly dodged.

"Why are you running Viser!? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?"

Issei yelled out as he laughed maniacally whilst launching the orbs, which slowly began to burn the forest.

"STOP RUNNING AND FIGHT ME YOU SLUT!"

Issei continued.

Viser suddenly disappeared, causing Issei to stop mid-air and start looking around.

"Hey there!"

Viser called out from above Issei. Who looked up and saw...things.

"So tell me, who were you calling a slut again you little shit?"

Viser said, as he summoned a magical circle from her left hand and fired a weakened blast of destructive energy, forcing Issei to fall to the ground.

Issei crash-landed, but managed to not obtain any visible damage. His armor was still intact, but he could tell from the sudden rising body pains that he had used too much energy.

*Okay, I've only got one chance to get payback*

Viser landed next to her, but the moment her foot was about to touch the ground, Issei had already flown behind her and managed to lock his arms around her chest, just like she did to him.

"This is for the last time."

Just as Issei was about to squeeze harder...

"I think that's enough, don't you Ise?"

Devil Matriarch: Agares

A blue barrier instantly formed around them, causing their interior to become blue as well. Time seemed to not be moving in this barrier. Viser slowly moved Issei's arms before turning to face her.

"Congratulations Issei."

Viser said.

With a flick of her left finger, Viser managed to break Issei's armor entirely with a strong force but held Issei with the collar to make sure he wasn't blown away as well.

The barrier was deactivated. This was followed by a strong wind blowing in the direction of the flick. Then out of nowhere, Viser pulled Issei closer, and kissed him on the lips, which puzzled the people watching, and infuriated a few who had taken a liking to Bully Hyoudou during the battle.

Viser pulled the frightened, confused, and tired-out Issei away from her lips, allowing him to rest.

"You won!"

Viser flew Issei back to where the peerage was watching, and left him in their hands, where they attended to him and celebrated his victory.

Although Issei didn't self-evolve like Kiba and Asia. He was officially the strongest member of the peerage. In Body, Spirit, and conviction, he was above all of them.

All these events on the 9 days ever since the Peerage started lodging in Rick Island, also known as the 'Rickpublic of Themyscira' or 'Themysciran Rickpublic', making it the 9th day of training, the day before the rating game. In Bootleg Narnia, it was 10 weeks and 11 hours.

Viser noticed that the forest was a little burned up.

Then using water magic, she summoned a flood that washed over the forest and extinguished the flames.

Rick Island

18:00

The peerage finally came out of the portal, feeling confident and ready for any obstacle. On the other side was Rick like always.

"They're ready."

Viser said as he passed past Rick.

"Congratulation, you finally get to leave my Island."

Rick uttered in a monotone voice.

"You know, you could be nicer?"

"Whatever you say King Jellybean. Here, take this."

Rick responded to Issei.

Rick continued as he handed him a card with a seven digit code.

"A deal is a deal. The Levelling room is down in the basement, you can go there after celebrating with your friends. See, how's that for being nice?"

Rick uttered.

Rick then turned to address Rias.

"Bloodnut, remember, as much as you might want to and as much as I can see why, don't kill him."

"First off, please stop calling me that, I'm not the only crimson haired person in my family. Secondly, of course I'm not gonna kill him, I understand the situation."

Rias responded.

Rick turned to look at Akeno and Koneko, who were mad, not because of his remarks, but because in his own way, he was right. And no one wants an asshole to be right. Rick noticed their sour expressions and produced an evil smirk.

"And you two, may I just say, you've outdone yourself. Loving the big-dick energy by the way. Tell me, what pushed you? "

Rick asked, bending to their level. The two looked at each other, confused. Could he have been talking about their newfound confidence or...something else?

"We...really have no idea what you're talking about."

Akeno responded.

"No? Good, I didn't give a fuck."

"Just go lie in your deathbed and retire you rotting old psychopath."

Koneko answered spitefully.

"Woah, look at Ms Potty Mouth here. Sounds like someone just realised they'll never be tall enough to enter the ride."

"Hey the 40s called, they want their insults back."

Rick and Koneko stared at each other with enraged expression. However, Rick ended up smirking and starting roughing Koneko's hair.

"Congratulations cat, you just became the second most interesting thing in the god forsaken world."

Koneko turned her face to the side with as her cheek reddened from the compliment. Wait, Compliment?

Rick turned to Asia.

"Aaand speaking of the most interesting person...Asia, Hi(burp)gh Five!"

Rick spoke, his voice sounding more lively than usual.

"Keep it up SG"

"Now you're all capable of defeating five members within Riser's booty gang, Barbie's Ken included. You can stay here for the night, if you want..."

Rick said, giving Issei a wink. To which Issei responded similarly.

"For now, why don't you go up to the roof, they are two people waiting for you up there. Go have fun. For today, and just today, I'm gonna be nice Rick. So savour it while it lasts. Now everybody fuck off."

Rick said as he left the mansion. The peerage went up to the roof, where they found Sirzechs and Grayfia waiting for them. After Sirzechs apologized to Rias for his brilliant idea, everything was settled between them and they could talk to more comfortably again. There was talking, celebrating, recalling of memories, and laughter, almost as if the game was already won. When all of that cocluded, everyone went back home, and the peerage decided to sleep in, courtesy of Issei begging them too.

And with that. The moment of truth began.

09:00pm:

"Just comeon, it's gonna be fun, I promise"

"Fine then, just stop pulling me around"

Rias responded to Issei as they dashed towards the levelling room. Rick had given Issei and the peerage complete access to the mansion. They reached the entrance, Issei entered the code to the lock and unlocked the door to the room. The Peerage followed behind the enthusiastic Issei as he hurriedly looked for the switch with an innocent smile on his face.

Issei looked to his left and found the switch. He turned the thing on, thereby activating the levelling mechanism.

"Okay everyone, it's ready, just jump on in."

Issei uttered with a sheepish smile.

The peerage questioned his motives, as they were aware of his own reaction the last time Rick shoved him in.

"Issei, where is this going? What exactly are you planning?"

"I don't know what you're talking about prez. This is just a simulation that's meant to show you a world beyond this one, the reality from afar, with pleasures infinite. Remember?"

Issei said, trying to sound sophisticated so as to fool them into going in.

"Pleasures infinite huh? First off, that didn't even make sense, secondly, I don't see how any of that is important right now."

"Fine, but we might as well have fun doing this, I mean if the old man is right *which he most likely is*, we're gonna win anyway. So why not just celebrate beforehand?"

Issei cheekily responded, which caused Rias to stutter.

"Yeah celebration, because this is exactly what this looks like."

Koneko responded in a lowly voice right next to Kiba, who sweatdropped because of it.

"Listen Issei, we understand how much you like erotic things. But you have to consider how others feel about it too, you can't force people to do erotic things with you. Please understand, for me at least. Please?"

Rias said, touching his chest as her eyes glowed with utmost sincerity. Issei responded by taking a deep breath of acceptance, and tightly grabbing her shoulders, which shook her off her focus.

"...I understand"

Issei uttered with a mature look in his eyes. Rias looked up to his face and blushed at how much the boy had grown, he could see it in detail, all by just looking at him. He had matured, both in conduct, and behaviour...

.

.

.

"Um, Issei, you can let go of me now."

Rias tried to move, but Issei's grip kept her immobile.

"Quick question Prez, ever stage-dived before?"

"Whaa..."

Rias answered puzzled, but just before she could finish, her clothes were suddenly torn apart, leaving her even more confused.

"Issei, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"Sorry Prez, but I worked hard for this, and I'm not going to waste it!"

Issei replied.

"But I thought you said you understood?"

"I thought so too. STAGE DIVE!"

Issei said, jumping on top of the true leveller while holding. Issei fell on top of the leveller, losing his grip on Rias in the process, although she was positive that she was also on top of the leveller as well.

A few seconds passed with both of them on top of it, and Issei could immediately feel it, the pleasure slowly coursing all over his body.

"It's happening! It's fucking happening!"

Issei moaned.

All of a sudden, he had some squirming behind him. He looked behind and could see Rias kneeling down, her right hand covering her...part, and the left hand her cleavage, and while Issei was drunk in sensual stupor, and could see clearly and as a result, he could swear that the later hand was moving up and down in a massaging manner.

"Ahhh"

She moaned in orgasmic ecstacy.

Rias couldn't explain it, but it was as if all the pleasures she could ever feel were being fulfilled at once, particularly her sexual desires, all coming down on her, especially in her nether region, where it became so much that she felt she needed to act accordingly it to relieve some of it. However, when she did, it got worse and now she can't let go.

"Aaaaa!"

She continued as she unknowingly 'massaged herself', forgetting that other people were watching her. Issei watched in wonder.

"Is she, is she rubbing one off?"

Rias finally opened her eyes, and saw a blushing and sexually elated Issei starring at her lastingly, which invoked anger within her.

"You idiot, this is all your fault don't look at me!"

Rias said as she angrily pounced on top of him, which was a big mistake. Issei's testosterone levels were on overdrive. And the scent that came off him only worsened Rias's predicament. When she caught a whiff of it, she transitioned from being super mad, to super turned on, and now they were rubbing against each other awkwardly, as they both moaned.

Meanwhile Kiba and the rest of the gang watched this uncomfortable scene. Well, some of em found it uncomfortable.

"What tha f..."

"Language."

A traumatised Koneko responded to a traumatised Kiba who was about to swear.

"Sorry but am I the only one who finds this...uh...what's the word?"

"Messed up? No. No you're not."

Koneko answered Kiba. Her young eyes looking disturbed.

"How about...uh?"

Koneko stuttered as he looked to his side. Akeno was undressing for some reason, which shook them even more.

"Akeno. Don't."

Koneko beckoned.

"But why not, it looks fun, why waste it."

Koneko said removing her undergarment. She ran towards he leveller and jumped upwards.

"Wohooo!"

She shouted with a smile as she jumped on top of Issei and Rias. Her sadistic nature and the wasted state of her friend gave the impression that she could take over the whole the whole situation and play with them. Which of course, worked as well as one would expect as the sudden pleasure slowly took over her.

"Aaaaaaaaaah!"

Her plan failed.

She moaned helplessly as she also grabbed hold of one of Issei's hands, rubbing herself against it uncontrollably. Issei noticed but didn't pay attention to it.

This continued for about 10 minutes until...

"I'm going in too"

Koneko and Asia looked to their left and they could see Asia nervously taking off her top.

"I'm not going to let them outplay me"

Asia spoke with determination as she jumped on top off Issei. The pleasure of the leveller overtook her and just like that, she was rubbing on top of Issei, moaning sensually.

This went on for minutes as Kiba and Koneko awkwardly watched the scenario ensue. It was like something they had never seen before. Although it would be more correct to say it was something they never wanted to see...EVER.

"Ahh! Issei!"

"What is it Asia, is everything okay?"

"I feel something, something's coming out of me!"

"Wait really!?"

Issei said, trying to control himself.

"Issei, I'm coming too!"

"Same here!"

Akeno responded after Rias, whose tongue was sticking out.

"Ise..."

"Pre...Mmm"

Out of control, Rias pulled Issei closer and kissed her, the tongue action continued for a while. Out of all of them, Akeno was the only one who seemed to be handling the pleasure better. She looked on top of Issei and could see the desperate look in Asia's eyes. She couldn't tell if it was because she wanted to go for Issei's lips before Rias did, or because she was turned on by watching them kiss. Whatever it was, Akeno found it adorable and couldn't help but want the girl for herself at the moment. So without hesitation, she pulled Asia's face closer to hers, with a sadistic smile on her face, and planted a kiss on her face. Asia was taken by surprise, but it was too difficult to resist, so she let it happen and relished the moment.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

They all moaned loudly.

At tha very moment, all four them released, as they clinged on each other.

"Ahh fuck. That was fucking amazing"

"Ise, I won't forgive you for this"

Rias stated angrily, her hand tightly placed around Issei shoulder as she panted.

"Huh, says the girl who kissed me first. And here I thought I was the perverted one."

Issei mocked, teasing her.

"Hmm!"

She interjected as she turned her head from Issei, her cheeks completely red from embarrassment. Akeno let out a small chuckle, which caused Issei and Asia to start laughing. Remember, Koneko and Kiba watched all of this happen, ALL OF IT. They were left white-eyed and dumbfounded by what had happened that they didn't even notice Rick walking past them and switching off the True Leveller.

"EHEM!"

The old man interjected.

This shook the 6, as the 4 who were in the Leveller stood up and noticed that the Leveller was off.

"Rick!?"

Issei yelled.

Rick was carrying clothing which he threw at Rias.

"Put this on."

Rick stated.

"Wait, how did you know I needed clothes, were you watching us!?"

"No, Viser was, do you really think I'd put myself in a situation where I'll need to see a fucking therapist? Just go clean your asses up, the game's about to start. Meet me outside the house."

Rick created a portal.

"What a jerk!"

"Agreed" (*2)

Said the people who just jizzed all over Rick floor.

Now it was 9:30. Eventually, 2 and a half hours passed and the Peerage were now waiting at the ORC headquarters for the battle to start.

00:00: The Day Of The Game

"Wassup Bitcheeees!"

Rick said as he entered a fancy building. This was the place where the games were being broadcasted, with both the Phenex and the Gremory household watching. Due to Rick's complications with Sirzechs, he was granted full permission to the 'screening', of course he brought along his best pal, Azazel, which freaked a few of the devils out, but the fact that Sirzechs was walking along with them made things better.

Also, rumours of a man beyond genius were slowly spreading in the underworld, some devils assumed it was him, and they were proven right when the man suddenly spawned two connected hovering seats out of nowhere. At the middle, there were compartments for Popcorn and drinks that were already made.

"After you, my good sir?"

Rick stated to Azazel whilst motioning to one of the seats.

"Why thank you, good lad."

Lad? Lad.

So anyway, Rick sat down and took out two pairs of glasses. He handed a pair to Azazel.

"Computer, activate Screening and project dimensional space #3225s1."

Rick stated, a holographic screen suddenly popped up in front of them.

"Hey waiter! Get me the heaviest stuff!"

"I'll take the opposite of that please."

Rick and Azazel ordered respectively.

"Just get it for them"

Sirzechs told the scared waiter whilst scratching his head in annoyance.

"Hey, don't get mad at me Red, you're the one who let me train your sister, so you still owe me."

Rick uttered jokingly.

"So, you're ready for this?"

Rick continued, as he turned his focus to Azazel.

"Why not?"

"Trust me, this is some shit you don't want to miss"

"Well, it's a rating game, who'd want to miss it?"

Azazel uttered.

"Game? No my friend, you're mistaken, this isn't a competition. It's a slaughter.

[Attention everyone, the contestants have been transported to the Field, the Rating Game has officially begun]

.

Meanwhile

.

Back in the field, Rias and her Peerage are aware of their new strengths, and of how stronger they had become ever since they began their torture.

However, they couldn't underestimate their enemy, so they had to make sure that they formulated a plan to ensure their victory. If they wanted a chance to even stand in front of Riser, they needed to take very precautious steps.

Well... That would have been the case, if it wasn't for the fact that they're about 10 times stronger than they originally were. Koneko strength was insane, Kiba sword techniques were unmatched, Akeno was an elemental Queen, Asia defence was impenetrable, not to mention that enhanced healing ability, Issei power and endurance was beyond ordinary and was like a god among them, and Rias was basically a nuclear extinction bomb. What was there to plan?

Four of the six devils were seated in the ORC, contemplating on the countless ways they could win this. Combining the rigorous torture behind the strength, and the fact that they were pissed at Riser for making them have to go through this, the approach was probably going to be a show off-y one.

Issei, Kiba, Asia and Rias were seated in the old school building, sipping tea.

"So, you're sure we can trust Rick's statistics?"

"Well, it's not like we have anything else to go to?"

Rias answered Kiba.

"I mean, in the likely chance that this isn't the case, shouldn't we still be coming up with more plans. I mean we can't actually test if the scientist was right or not."

[Three of Riser's Pawns, a Bishop and a Rook have retired]

Grayfia announced.

This startled the four, as they didn't expect things to work out as well as they did. Koneko and Akeno suddenly entered the old building.

"The old man was right"

Koneko uttered.

Koneko and Akeno had volunteered to go out and see if the old man was correct when he said they could basically blitz Riser's peerage at this point, and judging by how quick they had managed to defeat 5 of Riser's pieces, the Scientist's thesis held.

Akeno and Koneko launched themselves unto the sofa and rested for a while before readjusting themselves into proper positions, and grabbing the tea cups that were preserved for them.

"So...what do we do now?"

Issei wondered. They really wasn't much they could do. If they did go all out, they'd just win. As Rick had stated, each of them was now strong enough to take out 5 or more of Riser's pieces at once. They didn't even need to do anything, they'd just have to send out Akeno and Rias while the rest played cards or something.

"I got it!"

Rias suddenly raised up his hand in excitement as he shouted out.

"Let's show off."

"Whaaaa."

The rest of them exclaimed in confusion.

"Prez, you know you'll marry this man if we lose right?"

"Yeah, but at this point we know that isn't gonna happen, so why not have fun. Let's think of this as a team vacation. How about that?"

Rias continued, answering Koneko.

The peerage still doubted her words, and despite the easy victory that lay ahead of them.

"Okay fine, let's make it a stress relieve session for being forced to torture ourselves."

Rias suggested with a monotone voice. The whole team agreed, as nods filled the room. Asia was the only one who found that too far, probably because she suffered less.

"You know what Rias, I do have some stress to relieve. Let's do it!"

Kiba stated as he stood up

"Why not? I'm in!"

Koneko said standing up.

"Hmmm, I'm gonna make them kneel."

Akeno said as she also stood up.

"I don't get what's going on right now, but I'm also going to help!"

Asia said, standing up as well.

*Hopefully I don't have to shout that line out again?*

She thought, covering her face.

"Yeah, let's do this. I can use this as a chance to bust out those cool action movie lines I've been saving up ever since I became a devil!"

Issei exclaimed as he stood up.

Everyone looked up at him in awe.

"What?"

Issei wondered, where they planning on laughing or belittling him for what he was saying. Where they going to brush off his statement like a child?

"Issei."

Kiba called out.

"What do you want now?"

Issei grumbled.

"Can you teach us...some of those lines?"

"Huh?"

Issei looked up in shock.

One and A Half Minute Later

The door of the old school building burst open as Rias and her peerage, came out, with Issei taking the leading the lead.

"Okay everyone. It's Morbin time!"

"Yeah!"

Issei shouted as they walked to the new school building.

Meanwhile...

After the sudden defeat of five of his pieces, Riser was sure that Rick had it in for him. They were originally going to head on to the territory after Rias's peerage didn't show any response for a while, but after their display of power, Riser decided to hold on a little longer, as he was sure that Rias was coming for him.

Meanwhile...

"So, Rick, you're sure you didn't enhance them?"

"What? Of course I didn't enhance them. Why do you ask?"

"Well, because of the substance you told me about, the one you never told them about."

Rick and Azazel were spectating and commenting on the battle and the characters as the battle proceeded.

"What are you talking about?"

"That thing you talked about, the one you laced in the jellybeans before lying about them being just plain confectionaries? What was it called? Peginum? P...Purginum."

"It's called Purgium, and no. That is not an enhancement. I did give it to them, but it wasn't to enhance their physical trait, but to strengthen their battle determination. Now stop questioning the logic and enjoy the show. This shit is about to get good."

.

The school sports ground. There was a special route. So of course Rias had to do something about that. Which is why she sent for Koneko and Asia to take care of the Area. Kiba, Akeno and Issei would accompany her to take care of the man who started all of this.

But's let focus on Asia and Koneko for a moment. The two entered the hall were the volleyball court was. And they could already see 6 of Riser's pawns waiting for them.

There was a rook whose name was Isabella – A female Ninja - and the rest of Riser's remaining pawns. These were Eel and Nel - twins who carried chainsaws- Ni and Li, who were beastly humans with cat features, and Mira, a martial artist who mastered fighting with a staff.

"So, you think you can take care of the pawns?"

Koneko asked Asia as she leaned closer to her ear.

"Um...sure, I guess I could try"

She responded.

"Good, and also, whatever you do, please don't say that line again. Rick is an evil old man."

Koneko cautioned her before taking off to attack the Ninja. Asia was left embarrassed by Koneko, no matter what she did, she still couldn't get over what she had said. However, now was not the right time to think about this, as all 5 of Riser's pawns had surrounded her.

Nel, one of the twins, was standing a few feet in front of her. Eel was behind her. Ni and Li were to her left and right respectively, with Mira being in the same position as Ni was.

"Let's see if you can escape this, Rias's bishop."

Mira taunted.

Asia took a deep breath, before getting into a stance.

"Nyaa!"

They all attacked simultaneously. Mira, unlike the rest, jumped upwards as she approached her so that she could prevent her from jumping upwards. Fortunately, Asia's defence senses where now much stronger than before.

She could tell that she was in danger, and had to employ one of her new tricks. She closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, before suddenly turning invisible in front of their eyes. This surprised them and caused them to stop in their tracks, as they suspected Asia to be the weakest alongside Issei.

"What tha, where'd she go"

"How am I supposed to...Nya!"

Ni responded to Mira before suddenly being sent flying by an unknown force – which of course was Asia – and crushing into the wall. When Asia had vanished, they had originally thought that it was some sort of teleportation ability, until they remembered that those weren't actually allowed in the game. After Asia attacked Ni, they realised that the girl had just turned herself invisible.

"Everyone, back to back, ny-now!"

The all suddenly grouped closer to each other, their backs turned against each so as to cover each other better.

"Ehem!"

A voice exclaimed. They looked aimlessly around, as they knew the voice was from the girl, they just didn't know where she was. However, when they looked up, they could see the source of the voice, standing upside down on top of the roof, not falling down like any ordinary person would.

It was if her feet were stuck to the roof. Asia raised her fists to towards them. She jumped down towards the Pawns below her and activated her bracelets as she got close. Causing a repelling force to repel them and render them unconscious, and just like that, she had won."

Asia stood up, her face looking serious.

"Well done Asia, you did really well."

Koneko complimented Asia. However, she noticed the serious look on her face.

"Asia what's wrong?"

"Koneko, I wanna say it now."

"Say what!?"

She responded before realising what Koneko was referring to.

"Wait, Asia, don't, it's too embarrassing!"

"I know, but I just can't help myself!"

Asia exclaimed as she clenched her fists.

"Asia wait, let's talk about this!"

"I'm sorry Koneko, but I'm gonna say it!"

"No, Asia, don't do it!"

Asia looked up and screamed to the top of her lungs.

"I'm Italian Gwen Stacy Motherfuckers!"

.

.

[5 of Riser's Pawns, and a Rook, have retired]

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Rick was laughing uncontrollably as Azazel and Sirzechs stared at him with confused and weirded-out looks.

"Gwen... Stacey?"

"Oh lighten up dude. I was originally gonna have her say Miles, since I copied his powers into her, but then I realised that you know, since they're both chicks, and blonde, and almost around the same age, I might as well turn this into an odd female representation moment. Trust me, it's good for ratings."

"You...are a monster."

Azazel stuttered.

.

.

Meanwhile

Asia lay sideways on top of Koneko's lap, covering her face with both hands out of embarrassment.

"There there. There there."

Koneko comforted her whilst patting her on the head

Meanwhile Issei, Kiba and Akeno had made it to the ground surrounding the new school building, meaning that Issei could now temporarily use the gift of other pieces.

Issei had already assumed the role of Queen, as he wanted the boost in demonic energy. As of now, the three were about to be in a standoff against Carlamaine, Seiris, Yubelluna and Ravel, the king's younger sister.

"And here they are!"

"Yep"

Kiba and Akeno commented respectively.

"So you guys can take care of this right? I've got stuff to take care of"

"Go get her!"

Akeno opened her wings and flew up to where Yubelluna awaited her. Whereas Kiba had to face off against the two knights whilst ignoring the living YouTube comment section that was Ravel. Kiba readied his sword.

"I worked hard preparing for this, so don't be afraid to at least make this enjoyable for me, okay?"

Kiba stated with a sheepish smile.

"Don't overestimate yourself. If you overstep your bounds, I might ruin that handsome face yours"

Seiris responded as she readied her large sword.

"I look forward to it"

Kiba responded.

Without hesitation, the two knights rushed towards Kiba, who just stood still, taking a deep breath as he channelled his demonic energy.

*Wind*

He chanted inwardly.

Just as the two knights neared him, a giant whirlwind immerged, forcing both of them to stop dead in their tracks.

*Earth*

Kiba continued.

Suddenly, her sword transitioned to a new form as earth formed, creating a sword made of earth.

*Swordbirth*

Kiba chanted plunged his sword to the ground with full force.

Multiple swords began to immerge from the ground, forcing the two to pull back. Because of the impact, dust covered the area, making it hard for Carlamaine and Seiris to see.

Luckily as knights, they could rely on their other senses. Particularly hearing. Both of them listened closely for sound, hoping that would help them track Kiba. However that didn't help, as all they could hear was the sound of footsteps in all directions.

"What tha f..."

Slash slash slash slash.

And just like that, the two knights found themselves completely discombobulated. They both lay next to each other on the ground, confused by what had just happened. As they looked up, Kiba's head immerged from above them as the Knight stared both of them down as he showed of his weapon

"Say hello to my little friend."

He uttered jokingly before walking away.

[Two of Riser's knights have retired]

*It's too bad though, I didn't get to use most of those cheesy lines Issei taught me. I only used one*

A loud bang echoed above him as he walked towards the school building, it was Akeno and Yubelluna hailing massive attacks at each other.

"Hey Akeno! You need some help!?"

Kiba called out to her.

"No thanks! Although I wouldn't mind if you silence the Living Youtube Comment Section here!"

"Little phoenix?"

Kiba turned his gaze to right in front of him. There, a small girl in a noble dress could be seen. Her face was pouting in frustration. This was the same person who was spouting mean comments and demoralizing comments at him and Akeno during the fight. The fact that her voice could reach both of them, especially with the amount of noise produced by the two queens as they battled each other was astounding.

Kiba slowly started walking towards the bishop, who revealed her fiery wings and started to fly away. However, before she could fly further, Akeno pointed at her, a small electrical current shocked her and forced her to the ground. This was a simple spell that Akeno had learned during her torture. An original spell that strains one's neurons, which were electrical in nature temporarily.

Ravel was about to stand up again when she saw Kiba kneeling in front of her with a sheepish smile. He lay his hand on top of her head gently, causing her to shake in fear.

"It's okay, you don't have to be afraid. This will be quick okay?"

Ravel could feel Kiba's demonic energy rising.

"Aaaaah! Eep."

[Riser's Bishop has retired]

*And now to see Issei's fight, but first...*

Yubelluna kept launching explosive attacks at Akeno, but Akeno kept dodging them and using that new attack to weaken her, soon enough, Yubelluna was drained, which is when Akeno blasted her with lightning, forcing her to finally fall to the ground.

[Riser's Queen has retired]

Akeno descended to the ground and landed right next to Kiba.

"Well, that was a shocking experience."

Akeno remarked, sighing.

"At least you still had room for a pun."

"Oh don't be too discouraged, you got to fight two opponents, which counts for something right?"

"I guess."

"Now come on, let's go see what happens next."

Akeno stated as they headed straight ahead.

They were finally at a clearing, with the new school building now visible. Koneko and Asia already stood at the clearing, watching the two Kings as they discussed something before battle.

"Koneko, Asia."

"Kiba, Akeno, how are you guys doing?"

"Pretty good. Um...are you okay Asia?"

Kiba asked, noticing Asia looking more embarrassed than usual. Asia immediately ran towards Akeno and buried herself in her chest.

"She said the thing, didn't she?"

"Yep."

Koneko responded.

They all looked up at the building, waiting for it all to start falling.

"So we're supposed to just watch, right?"

"Yeah, according to Issei, it wouldn't be as cool to just gang up on the poor dude"

Koneko confirmed

"I swear, that guy can be weird sometimes"

"Yeah, but you know, sometimes weird is good."

Akeno commented.

The bushes from which these devils were conversing in were partly on fire, thanks to Akeno, it was an electric fire so of course, water wouldn't help anything, so they just sat and watched the two Kings as they were about to face each other atop the New School building's roof.

.

.

"You're not going to make this easy are you, Rias Gremory"

"No, I'm going to make it hurt, but don't worry, you're not gonna die."

"And how is that supposed to be better!?"

"It's not. Hey Riser..."

Rias cheekily responded.

"...I wonder how long you can keep dodging."

Rias continued as she pointed her index and middle finger at Riser, as if pointing a gun.

"Pew, pew."

Balls of destructive energy shot from her fingertips like bullets. Riser activated his phoenix form and stated dodging them, which he didn't need to do since they'll just pass through him, but there was one problem with that. The orbs that Rias shot seem to hurt even then, despite not actually damaging him, it still gave him stinging sensations.

Rias stopped firing, almost as if she was destructed. Giving Riser a chance to return to normal.

"Is that all you got?"

"Wow, your questions are surprisingly well-timed Riser. It looks like my backup arrived just in time"

Issei landed right next to her in full dragon armor.

"Somebody ring the dingster!?"

Issei exclaimed.

"Yeah, him."

Rias commented, pointing towards a now pissed-off Riser angry Riser.

"This is wonderful, as if you couldn't stain your family name any further by allying yourself with a weak human, you now have to rely on this perverted excuse of a pawn for backup? Just marry me already and maybe I'll help cover-up your actions. That is, if I don't find your embarrassment too cute."

"He's too annoying, but I think I can work up enough patience while you rack him up a bit?"

"Sure thing Prez, just sit tight and watch, he won't see this coming"

Issei said, whilst petting Rias's shoulder. He then turned to face Riser.

"You better move away if you know what's good for you boy because I'm really not in the mood right now."

Riser stated, trying to intimidate him.

"Hey buddy, Did you have dinner yet!?"

(Whoosh)

Riser didn't notice him until immense pain infiltrated what was between his legs where Issei had mercilessly kneed him.

"Cause tonight I'm gonna be serving omelets."

Issei whispered in his ear with a deep voice, his intimidation actually working on Riser.

Riser swiftly moved back from Issei to allow himself to heal. He was about to release a highly pitched melodious tune of anguish, but unfortunately, he took it like a man and held his breath.

.

.

Sirzechs winced at what had just happened, as his forehead broke into a sweat. The same was with Azazel, although having spent more time with Rick, he expected this to happen.

"Oooooooo, he just kicked in the part that matters"

"What, he's balls?"

"I was gonna say his pride but I guess they're both connected so you're not far off, I guess."

Rick answered Azazel.

"Rick, you may have been a great help to my sister, but know that to me, you're nothing short of a cheating manipulative scum. The scrotum, seriously?"

Sirzechs criticized, scratching his forehead.

Rick eyed him intently, with a 'you can't be serious bruh!' deadpanned look on face. One could almost say that Rick thought that Sirzechs was being a hypocrite.

"Hey Azazel?"

Rick called to the fallen angel loudly enough for Sirzechs to hear.

"Yes Rick?"

"If I remember correctly, a certain someone thought it would a good idea to go along with this Rating Game thingy because he thought it was a good way of forcing her own sister to submit and go along with his stupid marriage idea after making her understand her helplessness. Am I wrong?"

Sirzechs's voice started cracking as he released a large sweatdrop from the back of his hair. Azazel knew where Rick was going with this. He looked at the troubled and nervous Sirzechs and gave an evil smirk before deciding to just play along with Rick.

"Why yes, yes Mr. Sanchez, your observation couldn't be more correct. But If I may add to that, this individual you're talking about, he has long crimson hair, does he not?"

Azazel uttered sarcastically whilst imitating a thinking position and rubbing his goatee.

"Oh yeah, and I think he's name starts with an 'S' too. Hey, wait a minute..."

Rick continued jokingly. Both he and Azazel slowly turned to face Sirzechs. Their sarcastic stares held on for 30 seconds.

"Well...I...um...you see..."

"See what fuckboi?"

Rick mocked.

"Well...I was...well..."

"Mm yeah, you smell that? It's called shame. Breathe it in while it's still fresh Pal."

Rick continued whilst 'eloquently' sniffing the air. Azazel finally couldn't take it and began to chuckle under his breath. It was loud enough for the other Devils and Sirzechs to hear. It also didn't help that his shoulders were uncontrollably moving up and down.

"Oh control yourself Azazel, you're a leader for crying out loud! Show some dignity!"

Sirzechs exclaimed, trying to change the subject.

"Oh yeah Azazel, you be sure to take dignity lessons from this guy cause he's got a lot of that, Am I right or what!? Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!"

Both Rick and Azazel lost their minds as they burst into hysterical laughter, each grabbing each other shoulder from their hover seats. Suddenly, a slight cackling could be heard in the intercom, Sirzechs didn't want to believe it but he was sure that laugh came from his wife, who by the way, also helped with this idea.

Meanwhile, the hit from Issei had caused quite a lot of trauma, although the physical ramifications could certainly be accounted for, Riser's mind and heart were a completely different matter all at once.

"Kid, you know you don't need to get involved in this, right?"

"Oh, I can two reasons Pal. First, I let myself get tortured for this. If it wasn't for my master being able to heal me after crushing my ribcage over and over, I'd be sounding like Voldemort from Harry Potter right now."

Issei explained.

"I don't know who that is, but I bet it suits a pervert like you."

"Oh you're just asking for another career-ending beating aren't you Flamingo?"

"Whatever, and what's your reason number 2?"

Riser asked.

"I could tell you, but I think it would make for a great scene if I do that while kicking your ass?"

Issei stated, his voice getting deeper and deeper.

"You little shit, you're too cocky for your own good!"

Riser transitioned into flames as he readied to attack Issei.

However, Issei just took a deep breath and stood still as he readied himself for the assault.

Riser unleashed his flames upon him, but was surprised to notice that Issei wasn't even injured, until he noticed something, a highly concentrated and strange sheet of invisible energy surrounded him. This was the ability Issei used to withstand Viser's crushing strength, with surpassed Riser's power by a lot.

This was bad, as it meant that Issei was gonna be difficult to stop, until he noticed a weakness. Riser pushed himself from Issei.

*Hmm, I see, the pervert isn't moving, which means*

Riser unleashed a lot of demonic energy, causing a large gust of wind to repel some of the material that was part of the roof. He then lowered his body, leaning headwords towards Issei. He then reverted back into flames and leaped towards Issei whilst twisting his body.

This made his body take the form of a small asteroid. He headed Issei in the stomach with force causing him to move backward until he slowly fell off the building to the ground with his back.

Riser landed on top of him, his feet astride Issei's torso, with small ounces of blood in his forehead.

"Wow, you look like shit. How did you figure that out?"

Issei wondered.

"You weren't moving when I was attacking. At first, I thought that was just your way of intimidating me, until I realized that was actually a necessity, that forcefield of yours requires a lot of concentration, meaning you need to be completely still!"

Riser stated loudly, his voice sounding more and more maniacal.

"Oh give me some credit will you? You make it seem like I was trying to make it obvious."

"You fool me once, shame on you, you fool me twice, I kick your ass...any last words pervert"

Issei chuckled.

"Don't get so cocky you bastard, look above you."

Riser realized the person he had forgotten about from the roof. He looked up and saw her, Rias flying up above him. She was pointing at them with her index finger. Destructive energy suddenly flew from her fingertips like lightning and headed toward Riser.

Riser immediately flew from that spot, leaving Issei lying on the ground to take the hit. Fortunately, the energy bolt split and fell to his side, missing him as Rias intended. Rias landed on top of Issei and reached out to him with her hand, helping him get up.

Issei took it and got up from the ground.

"Why didn't you move when I launched the hit?"

"Because I needed to make it obvious. And besides, everyone knows you could never hurt me."

Rias looked at Issei with a surprised glare.

"I guess you have a point, after all, who could hurt such a cute thing"

Rias said, rubbing and roughing his hair. Issei gave a sheepish smile in return.

.

"Awww, look, they're flirting."

Akeno commented.

"Yeah, how cute."

Koneko followed with a monotone voice while petting Asia- who had an angry tick mark on her forehead as she watched the scene unfold- in the back.

.

"So do I go in first, or we take him together."

"Together. Your sacred gear can't hurt him for long, but it does more damage than my power."

"But won't your destructive energy you know, 'finish the job' quicker?"

Issei questioned curiously.

"Come now, we don't wanna be merciful now do we? And besides, Rick asked me not to kill him."

"I guess that makes sense."

Riser readied himself for the ultimate advance, clenching his fists at both sides. He had no choice, it was either all or nothing.

His whole body transitioned to fire as he advanced towards them. Issei was about to stand in front of Rias and take the full force of Riser's hit. However, Rias held out his hand in front of him and stopped him.

"Don't worry, I got him."

Rias stood in front and took a deep breath before unleashing a large burst of destructive energy from his hands. Somehow, when it his Riser, it weakened him and forced him to fall to the ground. After a few seconds of grunting, he finally gained enough strength to move.

"How..."

An uppercut from Issei interrupted his question and sent his flying.

.

For a second, he could see, but then, all of a sudden, he couldn't anymore, before he could again. The force of Issei's left jab still moved him upwards when he awoke. He looked downwards and could see Issei and Rias flying towards him. He unleashed his wings and repeatedly flapped them to counteract Issei's force.

And with that, the fight commenced. Issei, who had greater speed, flew past him, with a fist. Riser transitioned to flames before Issei could hit him, once more. Just as he was being confident, red streaks of destructive energy from Rias hit him, forcing him to rematerialize, but just then, Issei landed another blow to his head while he least expected him, forcing him to fall vertically downwards, Issei flew down towards him until he was close enough for his voice to reach him at free-fall.

Riser was almost feeling dizzy as that punch had messed up his head. But he eventually woke up.

"Hey Goldilocks, look at me! Turn around and look at me you one-dimensional, antagonistic peace of shit!"

Riser pulled his face up and stared at Issei with a frightened look.

"Number One, never mess with a man who's only reason to keep wondering this cruel world is boobs, the only reason why another man would ever criticize another man of perversity is hypocrisy! "

*What the fuck is he talking about?*

Riser pondered in his confusion whilst still free falling.

I've never scored once in my life, but at least I'm man enough to own it. Number 2, you said you wanted my last words didn't you? Well, I've got two..."

Issei readied his fists and flew even closer to Riser.

"TRUE LEVEL, BITCH!"

Issei punched the devil in the gut, forcing him to hit the ground at an even greater force than he was free falling, his impact causing rubble to scatter sideways, creating a small crater, Issei gently landed a couple feet away from him, just enough to see his full body and Rias landed right beside him.

Riser, with the small amount of willpower he had left, stood up, his feet wobbling.

"That...was three words"

"Who gives a shit?"

Issei cruelly responded whilst readying a blast from his hand and firing at him, causing a large explosion.

"I may not know numbers, but I know this."

Issei said looking at walking closer towards Rias.

"Rias isn't yours..."

Issei said, forcefully pulling her closer by the hips.

"Issei, I..."

"...She mine."

After saying that, they both locked lips in front of the giant explosion.

[Riser, the King, has retired]

Grayfia announced.

.

.

.

Everyone watching the battle watched that final part with a sweatdrop in their head. It was hard to distinguish whether it was romantic, or they should be worried about something. This included Grayfia, Azazel, and Sirzechs. Rick enjoyed the heck out of it, it felt like watching a Chuck Norris movie, or better yet, an anime version of 'The Expendables'.

"Uhh...huh, I see, so the second reason why he didn't back down was because he was in love with my sister, who could have thought?"

Sirzechs stuttered.

Azazel let a small cough.

"I... um... Rick? May I just say something?"

"Go on..."

Rick insisted

"In all my life, this is some of the weirdest stuff I've ever seen."

Azazel commented honestly.

"Oh yeah? Welcome to my world pal."

Rick finally stood up from his seat.

"Going somewhere Rick?"

"Yeah, it's about something weird I was...you know what? I'll fill you in later. For now, I have to catch up with someone. And it's gonna take hours to prepare. Adios."

Rick said as he opened a portal to Rick Island and disappeared, surprising the devils who weren't aware of Rick's teleportation gun.

The rating game started at 00:00 and ended at 03:00. With that, Rias and his peerage had won the match, and Issei, had finally scored his first girlfriend thanks to a little push from an old man in white coat.

Next Morning

Rick was standing in the middle of a desert, waiting for someone. He looked sideways and started drawing on the sand to pass the time.

*When's this motherfucker getting here?*

Rick wondered when all of a sudden, Michael landed on the ground

"I see you're fashionably late."

"I'm the leader of heaven Rick, and that comes with a lot of responsibility."

"Yeah sure, and what does that involve, sitting around and gloating."

Rick joked.

"Just tell me why you brought me here?"

Michael asked impatiently as Rick looks around.

"Tell me, angel, do you know where we are right now?"

Michael scanned the area to get a clear scope of the surrounding.

"Well, If I'm not mistaken, we are currently between the border of Southern Mesopotamia and the Arabian gulf."

"Uhuh?

"This is somewhere outside the Nabataean zones, between Babylon and Arabia, it's also about 300 miles south of Akkad and Abraham's birthplace, Ur Qasdim"

Michael continued.

"You know, instead of taking yourself down nostalgic history lane, you could just say we're between Iraq and Saudi Arabia."

"I don't like the new world maps."

"So you prefer the ones with the dead empires that no longer exist? I mean, of course, you would, with that crusader vibe you got going on there, you're destined for unforgettable failure"

Rick mocked

"Just stop joking around and tell me why you brought me here...huh?

"Geez fine since you're so important. Okay so my satellite back in Tokyo detected two places with an insane diversity of magic and what came up was the underworld, aaaand...that."

Rick said, pointing towards the Saudi part of the desert. He looked at Michael and saw a disappointed look on his face.

"Oh cut the face, don't tell me you can't feel it.

"Feel what?"

"That thing over there"

Rick said, pointing over at Saudi Arabia.

Michael peered closer, narrowing his eyes, he could tell something was off in this region. However, before he could process it, a group of Arab nomads of about 7 men and Women, along with a few children, passed by.

These people were among those of the Northern Arab tribes that chose to wander the clear Arabian Desert as the gulf kingdoms- these are Saudi Arabia, the seven Emirates, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, and Yemen- modernized after the discovery of oil.

"Are those Nabateans?"

Michael noticed them. Rick looked at the angel and could see the excitement in his eyes.

"What's got your dick so hard?"

Rick asked jokingly.

"Mr. Sanchez, you have no idea how rare these people are, these people are what remains of the Nabateans, the children of Nebaioth."

"Yeah whatever, I know, Nebaioth, child of Ishmael, Abraham's firstborn. Can we get back to the topic"

Rick stated mockingly.

One of the men pointed at Michael with a shocked look on his face as he took off his Ghutra.

" أب! انظروا ، لقد أنزل الله ملاكه!"

He said.

The old 120-year-old man slowly looked up to where one of his sons' was pointing and his face lit up in joy and shock.

" ولله الحمد ، يجب أن يكون هذا يومًا جيدًا لبيت إسماعيل والنبي محمد."

" فلنناديه ، لعله يباركنا!"

"تعال الينا يا ملاك الله! "

" تعال وبارك لنا يا ملاك الله!"

Michael felt a sense of nervousness growing within him as he heard these people call towards him with such hyped enthusiasm. He then turned to face Rick, who was right next to him.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you"

Rick advised. Despite Rick's warning, Michael let out his wings and slowly took up to the sky, the men's eyes followed his ascent. He lifted up his hands, which caused a heavenly light to envelop him. The Nabatean Arabs marveled at the sight and bowed in disbelief.

"الله أكبر!"

"الله أكبر!"

"الله أكبر ليس مثله. لا يوجد أحد أكبر"

"الحمد لله رب ابراهيم الذي رفع اسماعيل ابينا وابنه نبايوت ونبينا العظيم محمد."

Rick noted the praise with his translator and sighed as he found it cringy.

"Wait till they found out he kicked the bucket."

"Don't you dare Mr. Sanchez!"

Michael retorted angrily at Rick, who was merely joking around.

Then, without hesitation. Michael slowly flew towards them. The Nabateans slowed stood their father up from the ground and helped him walk up front. Michael intended to attend to the old man first. The old man, with a hopeful smile on his face, reached out as Michael slowly descended toward him.

However, as he was about to touch him, something...hold on a sec

"YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE, MICHAEL. IF YOU ENTER, SO WILL THE DEVIL IN WHITE. RETURN TO CANON. YOU CAN NOT LET HIM LEAVE"

.

.

A great purple force pushed him back, and by doing so, repelled his hand and his entire body a few miles in the opposite direction. The angel screamed in pain as the force felt like it was burning through his body.

"ألجأ إلى الله"

"لقد رفضته الأراضي. كيف يمكن أن يكون ذلك؟ هذه الأراضي مقدسة جدا ونقية"

"إذا رفضته الأراضي ، فهذا يعني أنه ليس مقدسا كما يبدو. يجب أن يكون شيطانا متنكرا ، شيطانا يرتدي معطفا أبيض"

"إذا كان هذا هو الحال ، فمن المؤكد أن هذا يجب أن يكون أسوأ يوم في بيت إسماعيل. هيا يا أولادي، دعونا نهرب من هذا الوجود الشرير"

The Abbasids quickly readied the camels, sat their father on top of one and they rode off westward.

.

He couldn't feel anything, not his body, not his consciousness, when all of a sudden, as if he was being drowned, Michael woke up gasping heavily for air.

He then tried to move his hand but then realized that he couldn't move. It felt like all of his angelic strength had been drained from him, and there was nothing left. With no hope for motion, Michael hopelessly lay in the desert, his back on top of the sand as he wondered what on earth had just happened.

Rick popped up to his location, and slowly moved his head to his view so that Michael could see him.

"You okay buddy, that uhh didn't turn out well did it now"

Rick said as he turned his head southwards. The force that has hit Michael was now fully manifesting as a barrier that closed the Northern border of the Arabian Peninsula. A few seconds later, Michael could slowly feel his strength and powers returning to him. This was a relief, although he could help but look up at the clear sky and wonder:

"Well, that's one way to end a chapter. Sorry, I'm not talking about you."

Rick said, looking at Michael

''איל איל למנא שׁבקתני''

To Be Continued.

Next Chapter...

Issei Jr. Hyoudou Pt 1.
