Oh... Finally finished this. Hey, UknownHero here and welcome to another chapter of A Simple Mission Rebirth. Yes, I do update other fics but this and Senran Persona are my main ones. So... I've been working away on this chapter since... Christmas of last year...

I'm gonna assume that past me was going to write it as a Christmas gift or something...

So with another Volume of RWBY over and new info I have to include into this fic, I have no idea how the future arcs will play out because... well... there's still a ton of stuff I wanna write.

So... Let's get onto the reviews. To a random Guest: Well, you'll see. Death isn't the worst thing that can happen to them. To M: I don't know. Maybe I should make Qrow drink more considering what his nieces went through. To Dragon Rider 66: Well... it's in the cards. There is a future children arc in DxD if I remember correctly, but I want to approach it with something new. But I did make a note describing the children. The only hint you're getting is that one vibrates, which is inspired by a fic that crosses over JoJo and Love! Live! Also, Oscar... Well, I have a plan for what happens after this arc. I know what I'm doing... most of the time.

Okay, that's it! Let the battle commence!

Oh, and thank you Alias001 once again for letting me use their OCs. Sorry I screwed up on some details. Please feel free to yell at me.

Load Game... Start!

Chapter 30: A Simple Disagreement

About midway through that last sentence, Weiss regretted ever opening her mouth.

She should've just laughed it off and say it was nothing but Nooooo, she had to show her the wings and teleportation.

She couldn't just let Winter be ignorant and hopefully hide her change in species for the next 100 years or something.

But here she was. Standing in front of her sister, wings out, baring herself to Winter for her to judge.

She was dead. She was so dead. Winter was going to either freak out or kill her or something and WHY WASN'T SHE DOING ANYTHING RIGHT NOW!?

It was a good few minutes now and Winter's scroll had vibrated a couple times now, more than likely wondering what she was doing to delay her departure. The elder sister was simply... staring at Weiss.

Frozen.

She wasn't studying Weiss or anything, she was just... staring.

If this went on for any longer, Weiss would vomit from nervousness.

Finally... after once more feeling her Scroll vibrate, she pulled it out of her pocket and answered the call.

"Hello... Yes... I am sorry but may I ask for General Ironwood to see if he is busy? ...Thank you, I'll wait." Winter got out. About ten seconds later, the specialist spoke once again. "Good evening, sir... I... I need a favour... Can I cash in all my vacation days I've not used over the years? ...I wish to help my little sister with her training. She's having difficulty with her Semblance. ...Yes... Yes, sir. ...Thank you. Have a good night, sir."

Winter hung up, put away her scroll and let out a breath.

Weiss, still shaking in her boots, didn't have the nerve to even ask what she was doing.

"Weiss." Winter finally spoke to her, arms behind her back. "I will be staying here for the rest of the Vale Festival."

"W-Winter..." Weiss choked out, tears threatening to leak out. "W-Why..."

"Because..." Winter started before taking in a deep breath. "You are my sister, no matter what has change, and you are going through a difficult time. Family must stick together in tough times, and I will not allow you to suffer through such a... unique ordeal alone-OOF!"

Weiss smothered her face in her older sister's chest and just let everything out, crying harder than she could ever remember.

Winter patted her younger sister on the back. She needed this.

"That being said... I assume that you are not the only one turned into a... Devil." Winter guessed as Weiss let go of her.

"U-Um... Yeah. Yes. My team and a few others." Weiss replied as she tried to clean up her face.

"Tell me... who turned you into Devils?" Winter asked as she straightened out the wrinkles in her outfit.

"Oh, it was-" Weiss started to answer before pausing.

Who reincarnated Team RWBY into Devils?

She might be misremembering but... were they ever told who revived them?

"Hm... Well... I assume it was Rias Gremory... a, um, friend of ours from Earth." Weiss answered after a bit of thought. It made sense, if she revived Issei, maybe she used the chess set Ruby bought at that antique shop they can't seem to find again to revive them as well.

"And where is she now?" Winter questioned.

Should Weiss tell her that they brought natives from Earth to Remnant?

Well... it couldn't hurt too much...

"She's in Vale right now. She and her peerage wanted to see Remnant so we brought them here for the festival." Weiss replied.

"Peerage?" Winter repeated with curious look on her face.

"Oh, uh, it's a term for those serving under their King." Weiss explained. "I'll explain to you in more detail but for now you should know that I am the Bishop of King Ruby Rose."

"Your partner? A King?"

"It's just a title. I'll have Rias explain the Evil Piece system to you later."

"Well, if it isn't too much trouble, I would like to speak to your King."

"She's... just Ruby." Weiss muttered out. "She's still the boob from the letters (though a lot bigger now). I think she's back in our dorm. It is late though so you should-"

"No, I wish to speak with her now." Winter interrupted in serious tone, telling the Heiress that there was no room for argument.

So with that, Weiss silently nodded and escorted her older sister to the RWBY dorm.

Hopefully, nothing too weird was happening inside.

(RWBY Dorm)

Welp, those hopes were dashed the instant she opened the door.

The two Schnee's were met with upon entering the RWBY dorm was Ruby cutting up the carpet with a scythe fit for death itself, with Rias, Akeno and Blake sitting on a bed surrounded by books and other occult-like equipment, and Yang and Issei playing a party game of some sort with Zwei on the Perverted Pawn's lap.

Oh, and Pancakes was there standing in the corner silently watching over everything.

Blake looked up first to greet Weiss, only to see the older Schnee behind her and coughed from gasping in too much air.

Eventually, everyone noticed the new visitors and stopped cold on what they were doing.

Ruby shifted her eyes to the others in the room. They all shook their heads in response, so Ruby looked back at Winter.

"...It's not what it looks like."

"What does it look it?" Weiss asked in a flat tone.

"...Redecoration?" Ruby answered with a sheepish look on her face.

Weiss just sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose as her older sister closed the door behind them. "Everyone, don't panic. I told Winter about what happened to us on that mission."

"What!?" Rias exclaimed as she stood up and walked up to the heiress. "You cannot reveal information like that so easily. Did you at least talk about this with Ruby?"

"It was a spur of the moment decision. Also you're not my King, Ruby is." Weiss pointed out with a frown. "If anything, she should be scolding me."

Ruby quickly winced and put down Death Rose. Okay, now she was involved. It was time to play the responsible leader and King. "Weiss... um... look, it's going to be hard to hide our true natures, especially from family members, but... to just outright say it without discussing it with us not only betrays my trust in you, but the trust of the others too."

Her partner grimaced but kept her stance. "I'm sorry, but... Winter and I... I can't just hide it from her... I just couldn't let her remain ignorant to our reincarnation. Also... she's insurance."

"Insurance?" Yang spoke up with cocked eyebrow.

"In case our father finds out." Weiss replied.

A silence went over the room as the rest of Team RWBY looked down.

It was common knowledge amongst them that Weiss didn't have the greatest relationship with her father. And to say nothing of her mother...

"...Do not worry." Winter got out, breaking the silence. "I promise that I will not reveal your identities."

That didn't bring them any sense of relief, but the statement was appreciated.

Now... onto a more urgent topic...

"Why are you cutting the carpet Ruby!? You're going to have to pay for that!" Weiss called out.

"W-Well, we haven't been taking any requests for a long time so I thought it was high time we should start getting them from Vale. I asked Rias and Akeno to come and help me set it up." Ruby replied. "I'm cutting the carpet so we have a hard solid surface to drawn the Summoning Circle on and hide it when we need to."

"But... I don't..." Weiss mumbled out before letting out a resigned sigh and face palming, not noticing Winter walked past her... and right up to the other King in the room.

"Are you Rias Gremory?"

"Yes."

And that was all Winter needed to tackle the Pure-Blooded Devil out the window.

SHATTER!

Acting fast, Rias brought out her wings and shoved Winter away while taking out her revolver and dagger.

Winter used glyphs to land safely in the courtyard while Rias used her wings to slow down her descent.

No words were spoken as Rias glared at her opponent, the shattered moon glowing bright behind her as a gentle wind blew between them.

Rias didn't want to waste time on figuring out Winter's motivation for attacking her. That could be saved for later.

All she knew was that she needed to neutralize Winter before people noticed.

Using her Devil Trigger revolver or her Power of Destruction would make too much noise. She needed to win with only her Dragon's Breath dagger.

Against someone wielding dual swords.

Something told her that she needs to delay Winter until her allies arrive to bail her out.

The two women circled around each other, both studying each other while waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

Well... that is... until something interrupted them.

"AaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" They heard a voice scream from above them.

Winter didn't even bother looking up; only moving her body to dodge whatever was coming at her.

CRASH!

Rias couldn't help but be impressed by her Pawn's bravery/stupidity as Issei's body slammed into the ground where Winter used to be, landing elbow first. It looks like he jumped out the window to elbow drop the elder Schnee.

"AH! Owww... At least I didn't land on my most important bone..." Issei groaned in pain as he picked himself off the ground.

Rias and Winter were pretty sure he wasn't talking about his skull.

"D-Did you..." Winter started before shaking her head. His entrance didn't matter. All she wanted as Rias' head.

"Issei, this is between me and her. Please, don't get yourself hurt because of me." Rias requested.

"Sorry... but like hell I'll let this woman hurt you any further!" Issei declared as he got into a battle stance. "You hear me! Buchou's oppai must be protected at all costs!"

[BOOST!]

"O-Oppai?" Winter blinked before shaking her head once again. "I do not know what this oppai is, but rest assured I will rip it out for what you've done to my sister!"

Suddenly, Winter was hit with massive amounts of killing intent, causing her to stumble back.

"You dare threaten Buchou's wonderful breasts?" Issei growled. "Grrr...! OVER MY DEAD BODY!"

"Hmph. That can be arranged." Winter said as she went into her battle stance.

"I won't let you hurt Buchou!" Issei declared before charging at Winter.

"Issei, NO!" Rias cried out, but it was too late as the two clashed.

...And was swiftly overwhelmed.

"Hey! Ow! Dammit! Gah!" Issei cried out in as he was forced to go on defence as Winter slashed and stabbed him, moving too fast for him to react.

Winter couldn't help but roll her eyes. For all his talk, and for being a creature from hell, he stood no chance against a full-fledged Huntress.

Winter finished him off with a quick knee to his groin and a kick to his face, tossing him back to his King.

"Issei!" Rias exclaimed as she looked at the state of her Pawn.

"Argh... damn..." Issei swore out as he held his manhood. "Buchou, please allow me to Promote."

"I can't. We have pacify, not hurt." Rias said before standing up. "You know, if one were to look at this scene out of context, you went out of your way to hurt two students of a visiting academy."

"The police will take my word over yours, once I expose who you are..." Winter stated.

Rias narrowed her eyes. "Really? Even if it means exposing your sister as well?"

"You do not seem to realise how powerful Schnee are. I'm sure with Dust we can reverse her transformation eventually."

"You don't understand anything do you?"

"You don't understand anything as well!" Winter countered before she charged at the Crimson Haired Princess, who raised her dagger just in time to guard against the attack.

"Why are you attacking me!? I've never done anything to you!" Rias demanded.

"YOU STOLE MY LITTLE SISTER'S FREEDOM!" Winter shouted out as she pushed her blades harder.

"...I forgot to tell them about who did it, didn't I?" Rias muttered to herself. "Gah, I knew I forgot something..."

"You are nothing more than a Devil. A monster." Winter stated. "And it is my job to ensure you are eliminated. You and your kind... I'll destroy them all!"

"Okay, I admit, I played a part in her death. That will haunt me for the rest of my life, and I know no amount of good I do will make up for that, but I will not allow you to hurt my friends!" Rias declared as she aimed her dagger towards the elder Schnee. "That is the responsibility of a King!"

"Buchou..." Issei groaned out.

"Your words are as hollow as your heart! Now either accept your death or die trying!" Winter growled out.

"Winter...!?" Weiss gasped out as everyone arrived at the scene. "What are you doing!?"

"Avenging you!" Winter replied as she tried to push harder.

"Everyone! Stay back! I've got this!" Rias called out as she pushed Winter back. This was no longer about survival; this was going to be a battle of understanding.

Something she had to end soon. The security could be here any minute.

Ruby wanted to help Rias, to ignore her brain telling her that it was bad idea, however Yang and Koneko held her back.

If she or the other Devils interfered, things would only get worse than they already were.

However, just as Winter was about to engage her target once again... she stopped. "...Weiss...what are you doing?"

Weiss frowned as she tightened her grip on Hungersnot, its tip poking Winter's clothes. "Stopping this madness. Winter, please."

"Weiss... she killed you." Winter reminded.

"That may be, and I'll never forgive her for that." Weiss stated. "But I won't allow you to kill her."

"...Fine. If you wish to defend this Devil..." Winter got out... before pointing her blades at her younger sister's face. "Then I'll make you see the light."

"W-Winter...?" Weiss whispered out, her eyes shrinking, before frowning. "...No. I'll make you."

Weiss quickly took out Myrtenaster to deflect her sister's swords away from her face before jumping back, joining Rias.

"Weiss... I'm sor-" Rias started, guilt welling up in her heart.

"Stop. Let's just get this over with." Weiss interrupted in a cold tone as she wielded her two rapiers. Rias winced before nodding, ready to face the elder Schnee together.

Weiss and Winter glared at each other, waiting for their opponent to react... until...

Winter jumped back from an attack from above from her younger sister from teleportation glyph, causing her to step back as she defended herself from a flurry of attacks.

It didn't even take her more than a second to realise that Weiss was emulating her moves. However, it was sloppy with over-commitment to certain attacks. Something she had to rectify once this farce was over.

Winter quickly saw an opening and took advantage of it, slicing Weiss at her heels, causing one of her legs to give out before getting herself a few slashes across her chest and kicked away.

Rias stepped in by attempting to tackle the Specialist down, but Winter just ducked under the attack. The crimson-haired King quickly recovered and took a few swings, which was easily dodged and taken advantage of as Winter grabbed her wrist, twisted the dagger out of her hand and elbowed her away.

"Hmph." Winter couldn't help but scoff. She expected someone stronger.

However, she quickly tossed away the weapon and guarded against Weiss' charge before she wildly swung her rapiers at her sister, who countered with her own flurry of attacks.

Weiss winced as she felt the hits to her Aura while she was barely getting a scratch on Winter. She could just use her magic to get the advantage but... she was afraid she'd kill Winter if she did it wrong.

Glyphs? No... She knew how to counter and take advantage of them. Never mind she had yet to use any herself...

She had to do something, or else...!

BANG!

Suddenly, everything stopped. The deafening echo hurt Weiss more than any physical injury.

"AH!" Winter screamed out in pain as she stumbled back and clutched her bleeding shoulder, dropping one of her blades. "W-Weiss..."

Weiss dropped both her weapons, Hungersnot's barrel still smoking. "W-Winter... Winter, I'm so sorry! I-I... I must've pulled the trigger by accident... no, why did I still have it loaded!? Winter, we need to-"

Suddenly, Rias appeared in front her, deflecting a strike from her older sister.

"Winter! Stop this madness! We can explain if you just calm down." Rias pleaded.

"No... I won't." Winter replied. "I don't care anymore... you destroyed my sister's life. Do you realise what our father would if, no, when he finds out."

"But killing me won't solve anything." Rias pointed out. "Please..."

Winter said nothing before settling into a battle stance, holding onto her remaining sword.

"Security should be coming soon after that gunshot. We don't have time for this." Blake stated.

"Rias, Weiss! Just end this already!" Ruby called out.

Rias nodded while Weiss clenched her fists.

'I... I don't know what to do...' Weiss thought. 'This... I wish this was a dream...'

"Weiss, pick up your swords and fight. We can't waste any more time!" Rias called out, snapping the Heiress out of her thought.

Weiss just looked Winter in the eye one more time, seeing that she felt the same hurt and sadness in her heart... before picking up Myrtenaster and charged at her sister.

However... before the women clashed for one final time...

WOOSH!

"What the-was that a bird!?" Yang got out as they looked around. Where the hell did that come from?

Ruby tried to find the bird, and thanks to her enhanced vision, was barely able to see it, its black feathers almost rendering it invisible against the night sky, before it dive-bombed.

"BIRDIE NO!" Ruby exclaimed as every covered their heads...

...Just to see the raven transform into a woman mid-flight and kick Winter in her neck, knocking her out in an instant.

"Dammit, I go away for ten minutes to get dinner and you people are suddenly in a life-or-death battle!" Raven grumbled in annoyance. "Ugh, I wish I was back with the tribe..."

"R-Raven..." A small voice got out. Raven turned to see the stunned faces of the other Devils (and a very pissed off Yang) and sighed.

"...I'm gonna have to explain the bird thing now, huh?"

(RWBY Dorm)

They all arrived back at the dorm just in time to avoid security, setting Winter down on Weiss' bed and getting a chair for Raven to sit on for their little interrogation while they wait for Asia to arrive.

And it was going... swimmingly.

"A wizard did it." Raven answered in a dull tone.

"That's it!?" Everyone else in the room cried out in disbelief.

"Bullshit!" Yang called out.

"No joke. I-It's a more recent thing... about decade and a half or something like that..." Raven mumbled out as she tried to remember when exactly that happened.

"A wizard? Really?" Rias got out as she narrowed her eyes. "Did you get cursed during your adventures on Earth?"

"No." Raven casually answered. "Not on Earth."

"What do you mean no! The only other planet we know is Remnant!" Weiss called out from her bed, bandaging up Winter's wound, before blinking. "Hold on, did you... is this wizard in Remnant?"

"Yes."

"What the-!?" Weiss choked out.

"What's wrong with that?" Issei asked.

"Issei... there is no magic in Remnant." Blake answered. "Everything we have done, from electricity to our weapons, it all comes from Dust. Energy propellants."

"As far as you know." Raven stated.

"H-Hey! Do you know something about this!?" Yang demanded.

"Remnant is a lot more dangerous than you think." Raven stated in a serious tone. "There are things out there that can stand even against the Yondai Maou."

"Then tell us." Akeno got out with a frown. "You're hiding something."

"Look, I'm tired and I need some sleep. Can you save this lecture for later?" Raven asked.

"No. We are not letting you escape so easily!" Rias said as she glared at the Maiden. "For the love of Maou, what aren't you telling us!?"

"Guys! Back off!" Ruby called out as she stood in front of Raven. "She's my Pawn. Let me take care of her. Weiss, how's Winter?"

Weiss sighed before glancing at her unconscious sister. "Well, the bullet shot clean through so we don't have to worry about having something lodged in there, and it luckily didn't hit an artery. She should be fine as soon as Asia arrives but..." She explained before stopping and clenching her fists.

"Weiss..." Yang whispered out before going over to pat the Heiress on her back, doing her best to block the tears from everyone's view.

"I shouldn't... I shouldn't have told her..." Weiss sobbed out. "Damn it... I should've just let her leave... I should've just..."

"Hey hey hey, Weiss don't think about that." Yang got out as grabbed a handkerchief out of her pocket and wiped Weiss' face. "What's done is done and there's no changing that."

"Wait... Hold on... Pancakes!" Ruby realised.

"Huh? What about-" Rias started to ask before her eyes widened. "Oh! She can rewrite memories."

"Just like she did to make everyone forget about her..." Issei mumbled.

"Are you sure she can do that after... what happened?" Akeno asked.

"It's worth a try. Blake, do you mind getting her from Team JNPR?" Ruby got out.

"On it." Blake replied before dashing off.

"So... we're just going to... make Winter forget everything?" Weiss muttered out.

"If you wish." Rias replied.

"Hm?"

"Weiss, she's your sister. What do you want to do with her?" Rias asked as she stepped forward. "Do you want Winter to remember or not?"

"Wait... hold on..."

"You don't have to answer now." Akeno stated. "I'll put under a sleep spell until you decide."

Weiss looked at Winter's sleeping face before sighing. "Okay. Put her under until I decide what to do with her." She requested.

"Of course. Now please stay back." Akeno said as she sat on the bed and began performing the sleep. "It'll take a minute or two, so why don't you go back to interrogating Raven about becoming a raven."

"It's called a corvid." Raven corrected.

"Oh shut up!" Yang called out, her anger reigniting. "Ugh! If you're not gonna say anything about... whatever you know, fine! Be that way! But at least tell us how you fight!"

"Yang..." Ruby and Raven whispered out in unison.

"Do you have any other crazy powers or secrets we should know about?" Yang groaned out. "We got Summer Maiden-"

"Spring Maiden." Raven quickly corrected.

"-Spring Maiden off the list. What's next? Oh, I can also shoot lasers from my eyes, stop time by shouting a song reference and vibrate!" Yang continued her rant.

"Vibrate?" Blake asked as she entered the dorm with Pancakes in tow.

"I don't know! I'm just... really... really angry..." Yang growled out as she clenched her fists, smoke coming out of her nostrils.

"Um... Can I admit I don't really get why you're angry, Yang?" Issei admitted, bracing himself for a punch to his most vulnerable parts. "I mean... turning into different animals sounds really cool. Who did it, anyways?"

Raven thought about it for a moment.

Should she reveal that their headmaster is really some ancient warrior able to reincarnate over and over and battle some forever war against the Queen of All Grimm?

...

...

...

Nah, they had other things to worry about.

"Don't know." Raven replied with a shrug. "Never could remember after me and Qrow got turned-shit."

"Wait, WHAT!?" Ruby and Yang exclaimed.

"Oh, that's just perfect!" Yang growled out. "Uncle Qrow, out of all people, Uncle Qrow is lying to us too!? What the hell is happening!?"

"Mistress, you seem to be stress. Do you mind if I give you a back massage?" Pancakes asked as Ruby just... froze.

"It's best you leave, Raven-san." Rias sighed out. The Bandit nodded and stood up, but not before Princess of Destruction said one more thing to her. "But this conversation isn't over."

Raven only scoffed before opening the door, allowing Asia to come in and take care of Winter, before walking out of the dorm herself.

She stayed in the dark hallway for a little before sighing. Maybe coming back to Remnant was a mistake...

"Miss Branwen. It's good to see you again." A familiar voice greeted.

"Hello, wizard." Raven sarcastically replied. "Let's cut to the chase. Why aren't you doing anything? You know who we are and what it means to Remnant."

"...You are not aware, are you?" Ozpin thought as he frowned. "I hoped you would've discovered this on your adventures. You are putting yourself and others in a lot more danger being here."

"Anymore more danger than my brother..." Raven muttered under her breath. "Look, with what I know from my travels, I'm safe as long as no one knows who I am." She stated before she walking away.

"She is not only hunting Maidens, you know." Ozpin informed, stopping her in her tracks. "She will find you eventually."

"Yeah. She will... when I'm dead." Raven said before walking away.

Ozpin only sipped his coffee and looked at the shattered moon. 'I'm afraid that moment will be coming faster than you expect, Miss Branwen.'

(The Next Day)

"It's beautiful day in Vale, don't you think, Professor Oobleck?"

"Doctor! And yes, you are quite right! It is time for another doubles match! This will be between the infamous Team RIAS, represented by Issei Hyoudou and Akeno Himejima!"

Issei couldn't help feel confused by the sounds of the crowd. Why did it sound like cheers and boos at the same time?

"Ara ara, you've become quite famous, Issei-kun." Akeno remarked. "For better or for worse."

"Oh, I can already feel the angry mob of girls forming outside the coliseum." Issei thought. Though, it would be a great opportunity to see more new breasts...

He did see and Cow Faunus on his way here...

"And their opponents, from Team AIRS is Ikari Satan and Akame Kumo!"

Two girls walked up onto the arena and stared down their opponents. One was bat Faunus, indicated by her silvery-grey bat wings. She had white hair, red eyes and unnaturally pale skin. On her back was... not a professional weapon by any stretch of the imagination. It looked like poorly cobbled-together great sword made out of scrap metal and rebar, an Amalgamation. It was obviously made more for ripping and tearing than cutting.

Next to her... well, Issei couldn't help but only see Akame from Akame ga Kill. Her hairstyle, her dress... hell, she even had a katana similar to the One-Cut Killer: Murasama. She would be an exact clone... if it wasn't for the four spider legs sprouting out her back.

"Ikari Satan. It'll be a joy defeating you." The albino stated as she narrowed her eyes at the two. "Especially you, Lecher."

Issei was pretty sure she wasn't referring to Akeno.

"Same." Akeno replied as narrowed her eyes as well.

"Hm?" Issei hummed out in confusion before he felt it.

Demonic energy.

And not from them.

It was coming from Ikari.

"Hm?" Akame got out, wondering why everyone was staring at each other so intensely. "Well, good luck. I assure you, you won't even touch us once."

"We'll see about that." Akeno replied as they walked away from each other.

"What do we do?" Issei whispered.

"Issei-kun, just because she's one doesn't mean we should treat her differently. See." Akeno stated as she turned her head to see their opponents strategising. "She doesn't want to expose herself just as much as us. So, do you have any ideas how to approach the enemy?"

"Well, if I'm right, the spider girl will have a poisoned blade." Issei guessed.

"Really?" Akeno got out in surprise before nodding. "Well then, I'll take care of her. You go and face our Remnant Devil..."

"Got it." Issei replied with a nod before readying his Boosted Gear as the arena changed around them.

"TheLava, Desert, Geyser and Urban biomes! That can open up a variety of tactics for the combatants! Let's see how they'll take advantage of their environment."

"3... 2... 1... BEGIN!" ProfessorOobleck ("Doctor!") and Professor Port announced before fighters charged at each other.

Issei quickly used his Boosted Gear to guard against Ikari's twisted excuse of a great sword, the parts and sharp bits grinding against his forearm.

"I'm gonna do a favour to all the women you've felt up and castrate you!" Ikari growled, a black and red aura flaring around her.

"Hey, I'm not that bad!" Issei called out. "I have standards, dammit!"

"Didn't you peek into the locker rooms earlier?" Ikari deadpanned. Issei didn't respond. "Yeah, that's what I thought you excuse of a human being!" She shouted out as she hooked his wrist on her weapon, pulled it away and swung down on his head.

"GAH!" Issei grunted in pain, as he was forced on his hands and knees. Suddenly, he felt a foot push him onto his back before being stepped on his chest. "Ah! Huh?" He got out before his eyes widened...

Upon see Ikari doing a few practice golf swings before pulling back, her dark aura flaring as her sclera darkening.

"PROTECT ME DDRAIG!" Issei cried out.

BOOM! CRACK!

"Oooooh...! That had to hurt!" Professor Port got out as Issei was sent across the arena, face-first into the sand of the desert biome. "But he's still in!"

"Why...?" Issei groaned out as he clutched his manhood.

[You better get up. She's coming this way.] Ddraig warned as the bat Faunas flew over to him.

"You've only got a taste of what my Semblance, Dark Fury, can do." Ikari got out before aiming her Amalgamation at the Pawn. "Now get up, so I can show you the rest of it!"

Issei eventually got up before staring down his opponent. "Promotion: Knight." He whispered to himself, feeling the boost to his speed... before throwing sand into Ikari's face.

He didn't waste any time as he threw as many punches as he could at his enemy, his fists a blur before switching to Rook...

[BOOST!]

...And punching her across the arena and through a wall in the urban biome.

"And he retaliates! Anything goes in this tournament! Apart from killing, attacking after the match is over and other such rules of course. Please go to VytalTournament Dot Org Dot V-Y for all the information you need!" Oobleck announced as Issei ran after Ikari.

Meanwhile, Akeno was dealing with Akame, keeping her distance from the sword-wielding girl by using her wings and pelting her with fireballs.

"Get! Back! Here!" Akame called out as she sliced through the spells, having chased her from the lava biome and into the geyser biome.

"Not likely I will." Akeno muttered to herself... before she felt something splatter on her chest. "What!?" She then exclaimed before she was pulled to the ground.

"Don't worry, I got you where I wanted." Akame stated with a smirk. Akeno then noticed a silk-like substance coming out of her spider limbs and attached to her breasts.

"You can produce webbing?" Akeno questioned.

"Spider Faunas." Akame simply reminded before rushing over to the Queen.

In the blink of an eye, Akeno was wrapped in Akame's webbing... in the style of a Hishi Karada with her hands tied behind her back.

"You seem like the type to enjoy BDSM." Akame admitted as kicked Akeno in the chest onto a geyser that about to burst.

"Yes, but..." Akeno started before her hands twitched.

ZAP!

"AH!" Akame screamed as she barely dodged a lightning bolt.

"When I'm in control, it's much better." Akeno finished as she tore the bindings around her wrists, rolled off the geyser before blasting her opponent with burst of wind, knocking her off her feet... and onto another geyser.

Akame could feel the heat on her back and used her spider limbs to jump away just as the geyser blew.

"You're pretty good. I would've loved to have fought you in the singles round." Akame admitted as she landed back onto the ground. "However to ensure the safety of all women, we must make sure your perverted teammate is eliminated at all costs."

"Issei has his good points. Don't let his perversion blind from what he really is." Akeno stated.

"And what's that?" Akame had to ask.

"You just have to wait and see." Akeno answered before charging at the girl, lightning crackling around her.

Meanwhile, in the urban biome, Issei and Ikari were throwing everything they could at each other, trading blows and injuries.

"So this Dark Fury thing... what does it do?" Issei had to ask as ducked under a decapitation swing.

"Like I'd tell you, pervert!" Ikari yelled out as she did her best to tear him apart. "Now stay still!"

'I can't. I promoted to Knight. If I get hit, I could be taken out of the round.' Issei thought as he dodged as best as he could. 'I can't disappoint Buchou! I won't!'

Issei then noticed that he was near a part of a building so he quickly switched to Rook, grabbed part of the wall and swung it at Ikari.

The enemy Devil quickly guarded against it, but it left her open for Issei to attack.

He struck her midsection with his right elbow, uppercut her with his opposite hand before...

"SHORYUKEN!" Issei shouted out as slammed his gauntleted fist into her jaw, sending her a good few feet into the air.

"GAH!" Ikari grunted out in pain as she landed back down on her back. She didn't have to glance at the big screen to know that she was in trouble.

"Oh! Ikari Satan's Aura is at 44% against Issei Hyoudou's 69%! Another attack like that she'll be eliminated!"

"Hehe, nice!" Issei cheered out... before avoiding a katana from lopping off his favourite arm. "AAHH!"

"Don't let yourself get distracted." Akame stated as she helped her teammate up.

"Issei!" Akeno called out as she landed next to the Pawn. "How are you doing?"

"I think I'm going good." Issei admitted... before actually noticing that Akeno was still tied up in a Hishi Karada. "Hehehe..." He giggled out perversely as blood started dropping out of his nose.

"Issei, focus." Akeno curtly reminded as she readied herself. "We better do this together."

Issei shook his head before focusing on the enemy. "Right." He replied with a nod as he went into a battle stance.

The two opposing teams stared down each other before charging.

Issei went for Akame this time, engaging in close quarters combat.

Issei knew he was not going to outpace her, even if he promoted to a Knight, so he jumped back to promote to Rook instead before reengaging with the spider Faunas.

"You know, for a pervert, you're pretty good." Akame complimented as she ducked under a haymaker. "You'd actually be a good guy if you weren't."

"Hey, I can't lie about myself." Issei admitted as he raised his Boosted Gear to stop a decapitation strike. "I will never deny my love of boobs! Ever!"

"Well, there is such a thing as too honest." Akame muttered to herself using her off-hand to sock Issei in the face before...

SLASH!

"AAHH!" Issei screamed in pain as he was slashed across the chest. At least he was wrong about the poison.

"Issei!" Akeno cried out before Ikari thrust her weapon into her chest, forcing her away and stunning her.

"You're done for!" Akame declared before rushing the Pawn down, taking advantage of his vulnerable state and slashing away at him before kicking him away into Ikari's arms.

"Um, mercy?" Issei nervously asked.

"Um, no." Ikari replied before flying into the air and power-bombing him. "AKAME! GIVE HIM A WEB-SLINGING ASS-KICKING!" She then shouted out.

"Wha...?" Issei groaned out in a daze before finding himself wrapped in webbing and pulled towards the spider Faunas.

Akame vaulted forward and gave him several flying kicks to the face while ensnaring Issei in more webbing. Akame then delivered one final, powerful foot-stomp to his stomach to send her opponent crashing down, creating a crater.

"Argh..." Issei moaned in pain, only to realise that he was still wrapped in webbing... and he was getting weaker. "What the hell!?" He then exclaimed as he noticed that Akame was still connected to him through strands of webbing. It seemed like it had a slight red glow to it.

"I can use my webs the drain your energy!" Akame explained. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lecher, but I will not allow you to rape me or any other girl with your eyes!"

"H-Hey!" Issei exclaimed, the words piercing his heart. "Why are they ganging up on me!?"

"It's fairly obvious!" Akeno called out. "Ara ara, I thought you would like two girls teaming up on you."

"Not like this though!" Issei replied before he managed to tear himself out of the webbing. He was already out of breath.

"Issei is down to 14%! This could be it for him!"

"Ikari!" Akame called out as she pulled out Fire and Ice Dust crystals. "Finish them off! Haunt and Hunt!"

"Got it!" Ikari replied.

"That doesn't sound-!" Issei started to get out, only to cover his eyes as Akame slammed the Dust crystals together, covering the area in steam. "What the hell!?" He exclaimed before barely dodging a strand of webbing.

Suddenly, he realised that they were being trapped.

"Issei, stay close to me!" Akeno ordered as they went back-to-back.

'How much webs can this girl produce!?' Issei mentally got out in shock as they were surrounded by webbing. Akeno quickly performed a wind spell to blow away the steam, but it didn't do much since there was so much webbing that they could barely see the sky.

"We're already low on energy. Don't touch any of this webbing." Akeno said.

"Can't you just burn through it?" Issei suggested.

The Queen narrowed her eyes before hitting the webbing with a lightning bolt, which it just absorbed and dispersed throughout the trap. "Hm..." She hummed out before eyes widened. "On your left!"

"Huh? OH SHIT!" Issei swore out as Ikari burst through the webs and slashed at him, her Amalgamation covered in the stuff.

Seeing no choice, he dived into the webbing, wincing as he felt his energy drain.

"GET BACK HERE!" Ikari roared as she sliced through the strands just to get to him.

Meanwhile, Akeno's eyes widened before letting out a sadistic smile. 'Hm... I think I know how to squish the little spider.' She thought before getting to work.

Issei was desperately dodging every swing Ikari took at him, but he kept touching and tripping over all the strands of webbing. He wasn't going to last long like this.

Suddenly, he tripped over backwards and got himself entangled by the white strands.

"Shit!" Issei swore out as he felt the last of his strength escape him.

"Finally! You stay still!" Ikari breathed out. "You know, I could just let Akame's webbing drain you dry... but I'd much rather end your legacy right here." She then got out as she pulled back her weapon.

'Dammit... can't... fall... here...!' Issei thought as his Sacred Gear began to glow.

[BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!]

"That's the good stuff!" Issei cheered before ripping himself free from the webs before throwing a punch at Ikari, who barely blocked it. "Come on Issei, you can do this!" He called out.

"GO AND DIE, YOU FUCKING PERVERT!" Ikari growled as he stepped to the side, causing her to tear through more webbing.

'There's no way I can fight her properly here. Gotta guide her out.' Issei thought as he promoted to Knight to dodge every swing, wincing at the occasional touch of the strands. He knew that Ikari had tunnel vision right now, only focusing on him alone as she swung faster and harder, tearing through Akame's trap.

Issei tried his best to keep dodging until finally he made it out of the web.

Ikari growled as she went to charge at him, only to for something to tug her back. She looked back and saw that her own weapon was caught in Akame's webbing.

"Huh!?" Ikari exclaimed as she tried to pull her weapon out, to no avail. There was too much webbing built up on her Amalgamation. "Dammit, let go already!"

"...Honestly, didn't plan for that, but let's go with it!" Issei got out before rushing towards his enemy.

Ikari could only brace herself for the punch to the stomach.

WHAM!

Issei punched her into the webs, entangling her before doing a quick few jabs to her face. Then he quickly switched to Rook, ripped her out while she stunned and threw her through a building, causing it to crash down on her.

Issei panted as he went to his knees before glancing at the big screen. She wasn't out just yet, but she was close. It could also be said the same about himself.

He was going to need a second before he could finish off the enemy Devil though. "Come on... I can't let Buchou down..." He told himself before forcing himself to stand back up. He then looked back at the forest of webbing. "I hope Akeno is doing fine in there." He muttered to himself before heading for Ikari.

Meanwhile, Akame frowned as she looked around. She had been watching Ikari and Issei duke it out from where she was, inside one of the ruined buildings with a single strand connecting to the entire web. But now, she had no idea where his teammate was. "Where are you...?" She whispered to herself.

CRACK!

"AH!" Akame yelped as she felt something whip one of her spider legs from underneath her before she turned around to see her attacker.

"You know, it was rather easy to follow the strands to where you are." Akeno noted as she retracted her wings, her white temporary weapon in hand.

"You made... a whip out of my webs?" Akame gasped out. "But you should've been drained dry!"

"With all the loose strands your teammate made, I was able to create one without draining my energy too much." Akeno explained.

"You're pretty smart, you know." Akame complimented. "However, what's the point? I can just grab that whip myself and drain you that way."

"Ara ara, you're right but here's the thing. Your webs are conductive." Akeno stated as she cracked her newly made whip at the spider Faunas. "Most likely to help with your Semblance. So let's test something: Can you drain my energy faster than a lightning bolt?"

Akame frowned before shoot a web ball at the Queen, who swiftly dodged it and countered with a fireball.

The katana wielding girl quickly let go of the strand connecting her to her web before slicing through the fireball before charging at the Queen, who flew off the building.

However, Akame wasn't letting her get away that easily so she webbed her foot and tried to pull her down.

Thinking quickly, Akeno froze the strand and shattered it with a kick, causing Akame to stumble back.

Akeno saw the opportunity and used her whip to grab Akame's katana before adding a little shock to get her to loose her grip. Then, with all the might of a Rook, she pulled and got the weapon out of her grasp.

"Hey!" Akame called out as Akeno threw it away before dive-bombing towards her and throwing her into her own web while she conjured up and powerful spell.

"Let me hear your cries of pain!" Akeno got out as she licked her lips before blasting her with a lightning bolt.

ZAP!

"AAAAAHHHHHH!" Issei heard Akame cry out as he fought Ikari in the lava biome. She was doing really well without a weapon, mostly because her wings were allowing her to keep her distance. She had been on the defensive for a little now.

Suddenly, Akame's sword landed between them, its blade embedding itself into the ground.

Issei and Ikari looked at each other in the eye before they both rushed for the weapon.

Ikari got to it first and pulled it out just in time to slash at Issei, who barely blocked it with his Boosted Gear.

With her sclera a pitch black, she relentlessly attacked the Pawn, letting out all the frustration she had built up throughout the match. "GO DIE!" Ikari shouted out as Issei leaned back.

His body moved before he could think, letting himself fall onto his back and kicking her knees, causing her to fall to the ground.

Cursing to herself, Ikari rolled away from the kick to the face Issei was going to give her, picked herself up and flew towards, ready to impale his heart.

But Issei had one last trick in his pocket.

And he wasn't thinking about his penis.

"Pocket sand!" Issei called out as he threw sand into the girl's face, stopping mid-flight.

"AH! WHAT IS WITH YOU AND SAND!?" Ikari called out before coughing and spitting out the sand.

"It's coarse, and rough, and irritating and it gets everywhere!" Issei replied as he punched the blind girl in the face, sending her into the middle of the arena.

"Take her out, Issei!" Akeno encouraged before Akame tackled her down.

"This is the finale!" Issei declared before going for his final assault, beating the enemy Devil down with everything he had before jumping back.

"Huh...?" Ikari groaned in pain before glancing down... to see a red seal on her right boob. "No... NO!"

"Dress...!" Issei started as he raised his gauntlet clad arm.

The crowd gasped in horror/excitement.

"BREA-!"

"STOP! STOP STOP STOP STOP! I QUIT! I FORFEIT!" Ikari screamed.

"What?" Issei dumbly got out, stopping his final move.

"Nope! Nuh uh! I am not losing my clothes in front of everyone in Remnant! I quit! Forfeit! You are not worth this shit!" Ikari got out before jumping off the arena.

"Um... Well, Ikari Satan has withdrawn from the match."

"Huh? What!?" Akame exclaimed. "W-Wait, come back!"

"Don't let yourself get distracted." Akeno whispered into her ear from behind, the sounds of crackling electricity filling the air.

"What? WAIT!" Akame exclaimed, but it was too late.

CRACK! BOOM!

"A-And with Akame blasted out of the arena, we have another unique victory for Team RIAS! A round of applause! And uh... someone check if she's okay."

You know, Issei was starting to get used to all the booing.

Up in the stands, Rias couldn't help but sigh. "I really wish we can win a battle fair and square."

"Some day, Buchou." Kiba assured. "Some day."

Meanwhile... Ikari was stomping made her way to the locker room. "Why did it have to be him out of all people? Why does that stupid randomiser keep matching woman against the Lecher! Damn it to all Hell..." She grumbled under her breath.

"Miss Satan, is it?"

"SWEET BUTTER OF WHAT!?" Ikari screamed as she turned around to see... "What? Aren't you..."

"If you want to live, please come with me."

"Huh? The hell are you talking about!?" Ikari demanded as she glared at the person.

"Please settle down. This is important... the future of Remnant must be preserved. Especially for a Pure-Blood like yourself."

"Excuse me? You-" Ikari got out in surprise and before sighing. "Look, I don't get why you're here but... it has to be important. So, what do you want me to do?"

They only looked at her in the eye.

"I need you to die."

Save Game... Quit!

Whew! Done! I have no idea what to do with Winter honestly, but I am leaning towards... one idea... Anyway, you should probably guess what's going to happen in the singles round, and I'm trying to figure out when it would it be a good time to introduce Rias' peerage to Grimm. Now... to fix my Switch because it is not connected to the dock properly.
