Rating Game: Team Gremory vs Team Riser

This was a Rating Game match held between Rias Gremory's Peerage and Lord Riser Phenex's Peerage. The match itself was held to decide if Rias Gremory would be Riser's wife. While the match itself was only known to a small group of people along with the houses of Gremory and Phenex, other future main characters such as Sairaorg Bael, Sona Sitri and even the King of the Underworld Sirzechs Lucifer himself. The day of the match had come and Riser was so confident that he would come out victorious, he allowed Rias to choose the layout of the battlefield as well as gifting her a 2 week training period that led up to this match. She ended up choosing Kuoh Academy along with the ORC's clubroom as their base while Riser was given the new facility at the other side of the Academy. Both teams were teleported into the match and the referee Grayfia Lucifage began to announce the rules; shortly thereafter, a loud buzzer rang signaling that the match had began. Rias gathered her team to discuss battle plans as well as the strategies she had come up with during their 2 week training period. Many ideas were thrown around but it was ultimately decided that due to the lack of people on their team, they would have to go on the offensive. Asia would stay by Rias's side at all times while Kiba, Koneko and Akeno would venture around to the nearby areas of their base to set up traps whilst also sending out their Familiars to either aid them or keep track of the enemies whereabouts. This was mainly to prevent any incoming enemies (specifically Pawns) that Riser may send out from posing a threat. Once this task had been completed, Issei, Dillon and Koneko would attempt to secure the Gymnasium as despite her lack of experience, Rias knew that controlling the center was vital. Meanwhile, Riser was cheerfully enjoying himself in his base whilst being comforted by his servants. He made it very clear to crush the wills of the enemy as he wanted to force them into submission. He ordered 3 of his Pawns (Marion, Burent and Shuriya) to rush forward in an attempt to sneak past Rias's forces in order to promote themselves to a Queen and also to report back to Riser of the enemy's location. He then proceeded to send out Mira (Pawn), Ille and Nel (Pawns) along with Xuelan (Rook) to secure the Gymnasium, even though he is arrogant Riser knew controlling the center was important. Meanwhile at the ORC's base, Koneko, Kiba and Akeno had finished setting up their traps and had reported back to Rias. She then began to initiate the second phase of their plan which was to send out Issei, Dillon and Konkeo to secure the Gymnasium while Kiba would await in a nearby forest for any incoming opponents that may try to sneak their way in. Akeno used her skills in Illusion Magic to create a mirage of their base to lure in said enemies where Kiba would be waiting to strike. Once the battle at the Gymnasium began, Kio would be sent to bypass Riser's forces in the hopes of getting behind enemy lines to create a surprise attack. Once in place Kio would await further orders from Rias whilst also reporting to her about Riser's movements. Meanwhile, Akeno would await on the roof top of a nearby building for the signal that the Gym had been siezed, once done she would use her lightning to blow it to smithereens. A few moments passed, Issei along with Dillon and Koneko slowly made their way into the Gym where Riser's servants awaited them. They engaged one another until Riser's forces were defeated, Akeno was given the signal and after Koneko, Issei and Dillon successfully made their way out of the Gym it was destroyed within a split second. Riser seemed unaffected and sent out his Queen after the announcement was made that the 3 Pawns Riser had sent out earlier had been retired after they fell into Kiba's trap. Suddenly when all seemed to be going in the ORC's favor, an explosion occurred directly where Koneko was standing. After the smoke cleared Yubelluna can be seen hovering abover Koneko as she lay motionless on the ground, Issei ran over to check on her but as soon as he tried to hold her she retired in his arms whilst screaming in pain. This greatly enraged the two brothers but before they could react, Akeno appeared above them and ordered them to continue on with the next phase of their plan which they hesitantly agreed to. Akeno then greeted her rival Queen as the two began to engage one another while Dillon and Issei ran off but were shortly joined by Kiba who pulled them into a nearby building to await further orders from Rias. Kio had successfully made it behind Riser's base, he informed the rest of the team that Riser had sent out the rest of his forces but where was a mystery. Rias pondered for a moment and decided to make a bold move; she ordered Dillon, Issei and Kiba to head directly to Riser's base to draw as many of the enemy out as possible to bide enough time for Rias along with Asia to sneak past Riser's forces in order to attack Riser directly. Kio was ordered to wait until Riser was out in the open, once he became open to an attack then Kio could strike. Once Issei, Dillon and Kiba had made it to Riser's base they encountered a thick fog, once it cleared they were surrounded with all of Riser's remaining forces which consisted of 2 Knights, 2 Bishops, a Rook and 2 Pawns. The two sides engaged one another while Rias and Asia made their way inside Riser's base but much to their surprise Riser had predicted all of their moves up to this point and was awaiting them at the entrance. During all this commotion Akeno had managed to defeat Yubelluna or so she thought, the Phenex Queen pulled out a tiny vial which appeared to be a Phenex tear which shocked Akeno. Yubelluna had her health and energy completely restored while Akeno could barely defend herself due to the exhaustive battle. A few moments passed and Ravel Phenex pointed upwards to her older brother battling Rias on the nearby rooftop which scared Issei as he Dillon and Kiba desperatley tried to defeat Riser's forces so they could reach Rias and protect her from Riser. Kio used his Sacred Gear to see Akeno struggling against Yubelluna and he contacted Rias asking her if he should continue with their plan or go aid her as Akeno could not last much longer. Rias struggled to make up her mind as Issei and Kiba did a combo attack to wipe out the remainder of Riser's forces but just as she made the decision to send Kio to give her aid, the screams of Akeno could be heard which caused Dillon Hyoudou to enter a state of blind rage. Yubellenua then appeared overhead the courtyard and bombarded Dillon, Issei and Kiba with her Fire magic which caused Kiba to cry out in pain as he was retired. Issei managed to survive the attack. As the giant cloud of smoke began to clear Dillon was seen standing completely still and apparently unaffected from the attack which shocked Yubelluna as he stared as her with glowing yellow eyes. He roared loudly as he attempted to attack her she used her staff to stop him as she hurled him into a nearby building and bombarded it with her Fire magic. She then waited to see if Dillon would come out giving Issei enough time to run into Riser's base, promote himself to a Queen and make it to the roof. Dillon never emerged from the rubble but Kio has joined Rias's side so she hesitatnly left to rejoin her King's side. Riser pleaded with Rias to resign but she refused which angered the latter. He ordered Yubelluna to attack in which she happily sealed Asia Argento's movements and bombarded her with her Fire Magic but thankfully Issei shielded her from the attack allowing her to survive it. Yubelluna became annoyed that Issei could survive a direct attack from her and once again Riser pleaded with Rias but she still refused as Kio became angered that Yubelluna attacked poor little Asia, he hurled a huge wave of his Demonic Aura at Riser who tanked the attack with ease. Riser responded with a barrage of Fireball attacks which were blocked by Kio using his Dragon Armor. Kio burst forward in an attempt to attack Riser but Yubelluna appeared in front and shielded him with her staff, the two began to battle up in the air as Riser continued his relentless assault on Rias and Issei. Yubelluna managed to gain the upper hand and hurled Kio into the ground with her powerful Fire Magic. He became angrier and angrier and eventually sent a massive wave of his Demonic power through her Fire Magic which caused her to scream in pain as she was flung upwards into the sky just as Kio dropped to his knees. Issei tried to battle against Riser after withstanding a multitude of his fireball attacks but just as he managed to reach him he collapsed and fell off the side of the building coughing up blood. Riser became enraged that Issei stood back up due to his refusal to allow Riser to wed Rias. Rias flew over and began striking Issei with powerful punches kicks and knees as Yubelluna flew back down and began attacking Kio once more. Eventually it reached a point where Riser had caused Issei to drop to his knees, he grabbed him by his shirt and lifted him into the air whilst summoning a giant fireball attack. He stated he intends on killing Issei for his refusal to quit which caused Rias to scream. Suddenly out of the rubble, Dillon burst out with immense speed and tackled Riser into the ground with tremendous force thus causing a massive explosion. Once the smoke cleared Dillon can be seen glowing in a powerful golden aura along with a look of rage which frightened Yubelluna but this gave Kio an opportunity as he struck her in the chest and face with a flurry of punches. He then grabbed her by the throat after breaking her staff with his Power of Destruction and punched her directly into the ground. He flew down beside where she had landed and once again picked her up by the throat and tossed her backwards a few feet, she struggled to reach her hands and knees and just as she looked up she saw the eyes of a boy who was hell-bent on destruction. She slowly looked up and screamed as Kio blasted her with a wave of his Power of Destruction that forced her to retire. After witnessing this Rias took the opportunity to run over to Issei with a face full of tears as she comforted him. He apologized for not being able to save her and tried to stand up but his body wouldn't allow him to move as Rias began to hug him and stroke his hair with a smile. Meanwhile Riser had emerged from the ground and he was fed up with the turn of events, Kio landed behind him as Dillon remained in front of him with his golden like aura still radiating across his body. Riser began to attack both the Dragon users and managed to fend them off as Issei somehow managed to find the strength to stand as Rias helped him over to watch his brothers battle Riser. Issei saw they were losing and knew they needed a push to obtain victory. He told Rias to fly him over to where they were but she refused and he told her what needed to happen which made her eyes widen. She eventually flew him down to ground as Riser had almost managed to beat both Kio and Dillon. As Riser summoned the biggest Fireball attack yet he hurled it directly at them but Issei lunged forward out of Rias's arms and saved them by tanking the attack all on his own but he collapsed and passed out due to the immense pain but he did not retire from the match. This lit a fire inside Dillon's heart as he became so enraged that he lost the ability to percieve what was around him. Baloryx took over his body which sacred Riser as he reminded him of his promise, Dillon began to beat the living hell out of Riser until he forced the latter to scream "I resign!!!!" but Dillon continued to beat Riser to a bloody pulp which forced the people that constructed the match to get involved. Sirzechs Lucifer along wtih Sairaorg Bael teleported into the arena where Sairaorg dealt with Dillon though the latter connected with a powerful punch to the jaw, Sairaorg was unfazed and knocked Dillon out in 2 punches. Rias's team was later disqualified for Dillon's actions but Issei, Kio and Dillon managed to save Rias still after beating Riser fair and square in their next duel at Rias's engagement party. That same party would be where Dillon Hyoudou would meet his future rival and lifelong bestfriend Sairaorg Bael.
