Chapter 7: Rating Games

Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. Sorry about the wait. Took a long time to get this right and I wanted to make this awesome. With this, I am officially done with season 1. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.

And so the day finally arrived, the Rating Game of Rias vs Riser and tensions were high.

In the Student Council Room, Seth was pacing back and forth as his team sat nearby.

"Seth calm down. You're not the one in this match." Blake said.

"Should be me out there facing Riser." Seth said.

"I know you hate Riser, but this is Rias' fight." Lucy said.

"We did everything we could." Hinata said as Neo nods in agreement.

The door opens to reveal Rias, Sona and Tsubaki.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be getting ready?" Seth asks.

"Everyone's here. I just needed one last thing before battle." Rias said.

"What's up?" Seth asks as Rias pecks him on the lips.

"Now I'm ready." Rias smiles causing the other girls in the room to narrow their eyes.

"Good luck out there. I'll be watching." Seth said.

"Keep an eye on him Sona." Rias said.

"I will." Sona nods as Rias walks out.

"What do you think?" Seth asks.

"They'll win." Sona said.

"I hope you're right." Seth said.

As the game started, everyone watched the two teams were on the move.

The first match was in the gymnasium between Issei and Koneko and 4 of Riser's pieces. At first Issei seemed to be holding his own and kept the three pawns at bay.

"He's doing pretty well." Lucy said.

"I made sure he was in top form for this." Seth said when Issei activated his Sacred Gear.

"Alright time for my new move! Dress Break!" Issei said as he literally blew their clothes off with a snap of his fingers causing everyone in the room to drop their jaws.

"I did not teach him that." Seth said quickly.

"I am gonna kill him." Hibari said.

"How disgusting." Tsubaki said.

"I don't know, he might be onto something. It's pretty hard to fight when your clothes are blown off." Sona said.

"Either way, I'm giving him a piece of my mind after this." Seth said.

As the battle went on Akeno destroys the gym taking out all the pieces, but just as they catch their breath Yubelluna swoops in and takes Koneko out with a sneak attack.

When Akeno takes her on Issei goes to meet up with Kiba where the two of them deal with all the other pieces.

Realizing he couldn't rely on Dress Break to win these battles Issei was forced to do some damage as he and Kiba took on Riser's sister Ravel and all the other pieces while Rias and Asia faced off against Riser.

During the battle Issei and Kiba took out almost all the pieces until Ravel defeated Kiba.

In the battle between Queens, Akeno came at Yubelluna with everything she had trying to take her out, but by using a Phoenix Tear Yubelluna got all her strength back and struck Akeno down leaving Issei to take them out.

Soon all that was left was Riser, but from all those fights Issei was exhausted.

"Come on Issei." Seth whispers as Issei tried to fight back but Riser just messed with him and turned Issei into his punching bag before taking out Asia so she couldn't heal anymore.

"No." Seth said in horror as all of them watched the beatdown.

"I'm actually feeling bad for that idiot." Lucy said as Issei kept getting back up.

Sona looks over to Seth who tightened his fists and a flame started to form.

"Stop it!" Rias screams as Riser attacked Issei again and again.

"I won't give up." Issei groans as Riser punches him in the face. "I can't let Seth down."

Growling in anger, Dying Will Flames surrounded Seth as he was becoming a giant fireball of rage.

"Enough." Seth said as Rias started to cry.

"You don't have the right to challenge Riser Phenex. You're just a lowly servant." Riser smirks about to strike him down.

"Riser what are you doing?" Rias gasps.

"Sending him back to hell where he belongs. No amount of healing will save him. Besides deaths in Rating Games are considered accidents anyway." Riser smirks causing the last straw.

"NO!" Seth roars as a bright flash of light shot out and suddenly Seth grabbed Riser's hands.

"Seth?" Rias gasps.

"What are you doing here Vongola?" Riser glares.

"Riser Phenex I hereby declare a substitute Rating Game and against your team and my Vongola Guardians." Seth declares shocking everyone.

"What is he doing?" Sona asks as Grayfia appears next to them.

"Seth Vongola, are you aware of what you are doing?" Grayfia asks.

"I do and I refuse to let you kill my friend." Seth said as Riser lets go of Issei.

"You forget one thing human; Riser doesn't have to accept this unless you put up something I want and you have nothing that could make me wager Rias." Riser said.

"Wrong. I have one thing. One thing that all members of the three factions would kill to get their hands on." Seth said reaching for his hand and taking off the Sky Ring to hold up. "Riser Phenex, I wager all 7 Vongola Rings to fight you for the right to marry Rias." Seth declared shocking everyone even Riser.

"Seth no! You can't!" Rias said.

"7 rings? Are they that valuable?" Issei asks slowly getting up.

"Extremely. Those 7 Vongola Rings were crafted by the 4 Devil Kings, Michael of the Angels and Azazel of the Fallen Angels as a reward for stopping the Great War. Those seven little rings are worth an entire mountain range filled with gold mines." Grayfia explains shocking him.

"No way, you'd be an idiot to turn down this chance." Issei gasps.

"Exactly. Riser accepts your challenge. Your Sky Ring will make the perfect wedding ring for me." Azazel smirks.

"Seth are you sure you want to go through with this?" Grayfia asks one more time.

"I am sure." Seth said.

"We will fight tomorrow in the Underworld so my Peerage can heal their injuries. Be ready Rias, for once I kill this human we will wed." Riser said before disappearing in a burst of flames.

"It appears quite a few viewers are intrigued. I will see you tomorrow." Grayfia said before disappearing in a magic circle.

"Seth, you shouldn't have done that. Those rings mean everything to your family." Rias said.

"I saw that look in your eye Rias. You were gonna surrender to Riser before he killed Issei. I couldn't let you do that." Seth said.

"I'm sorry Seth." Issei limped over. "I tried my best, but I blew it." Issei said.

"You did awesome, don't beat yourself up." Seth said.

"So you're not mad?" Issei asks.

"About the fight? No." Seth said before punching Issei in the gut.

"Ow! What the hell was that for?!" Issei flinched.

"For that god awful Dress Break attack of yours! I busted my ass training you to be strong and the first attack you made is to blow off clothes?! Start figuring out new moves and take things seriously or I'll make you wish Riser did kill you." Seth glares.

"Yes sir." Issei whimpers.

In the Student Council Room, Sona, Tsubaki, Lucy and Neo turn to see Itachi, Sakura, Hinata, Erza, Blake and Hibari all with serious expressions on their faces.

"Well looks like we get our chance after all." Sakura said.

"And this time Rias and our futures are all on the line." Itachi said.

"Let's go." Hibari said ready.

The next day, Riser was inside getting everything set up for the engagement party.

"Acting a little eager, Riser?" Grayfia asks walking over. "The fight isn't for another hour."

"Merely a formality. I want everyone to waiting when two great devil dynasties become one and remove the House of Vongola." Riser grins. "Tell Rias I want her in her dress when I get back."

Narrowing her eyes Grayfia watches as Riser walks away.

In a small room, Seth was tightening his gloves before walking out in black jacket, blue shirt under, black jeans with his Vongola box strapped to it, and his Sky ring on his finger. (Google Haru Glory outfit)

"Everyone ready?" Seth asks as Itachi steps out with a black headband around his neck, a black long sleeve shirt with the Uchiha Crest on the back, a kunai pouchs trapped to his sides, his Mist ring on his finger and Vongola box ready.

"Yes." Itachi nods.

Walking out in her Hearts Kreuz Armor, Erza readied her sword and put the Rain Ring on her finger. "As am I." She nods attaching her Vongola box to her skirt.

Blake walks out in white jacket, black pants and a black shirt under with her Storm Ring on her finger and Vongola box at her side. "It's do or die time."

Walking out next, Sakura was wearing a red outfit with the Sun Ring on her and Hinata walked out in a white and purple jacket with black shorts and the Thunder Ring on her.

"I'm ready." Hinata nods.

"Me too." Sakura said.

Finally Hibari stepped out in his Student Disciplinary uniform and jacket hanging off his shoulder and Cloud Ring on his finger and Vongola Box ready.

"Just don't get in my way." Hibari said.

The door opens to reveal Tsuna, Neo, Lucy Issei and Rias.

"It's almost time." Tsuna said.

"Where's mom?" Seth asks.

"With the twins at home, they're not ready to see something like this." Tsuna said.

"I understand." Seth nods.

"I wish we could join you, help increase your chances." Lucy said.

"Sorry only Ring Guardians count as part of my team." Seth said.

Frowning Neo leans in and hugs him tight. "Thanks Neo, I appreciate it." Seth said as she let go.

"Can you please talk some sense into your son? You can't let him do this." Rias said.

"Seth is the heir to Vongola Family and wielder of the rings. He is allowed to do whatever he wants with them. I cannot stop him." Tsuna said.

"But what if he loses?" Issei asks.

"Guys head out to the front and be ready. I'll meet you there." Seth said as they all walked out leaving Seth alone with Issei and Rias.

"Seth this is crazy. You're betting everything your family has worked so hard for." Issei said.

"I can't let you do this." Rias said.

"But you could?" Seth asks causing Rias to frown.

"Look Riser is an asshole, no arguments but there must be something else we can do." Issei said.

"Issei, do you know how I was able to earn the Vongola Rings from my father? I busted my ass for them because in our family should an heir be unworthy of them someone else can get the rings. I worked hard to earn them and Rias and Sona helped me to be worthy of them. Look you may think this is a losing battle, but I just…I just can't let Riser have you Rias. You deserve better than him. I love you Rias, and I want you to be happy. To see you happy I'm willing to risk everything for you." Seth said.

Sniffling Rias walks over and hugs him tightly. "Thank you."

Issei looks at Seth and was blown away. 'He loves her so much. And look at me.' Issei thought realizing deep down it was time for a change if he wanted to stay Rias's pawn.

"Well I better get going. I have a match to win." Seth said letting go and walking out.

"Come on Issei." Rias said as they left.

As Tsuna was watching both teams walk out Sirzechs and Grayfia walked out next to him.

"Somehow I knew this battle was gonna happen." Sirzechs said.

"You should, it was your fault this whole thing started in the first place." Tsuna said.

"Never gonna let me live this down, are you?" Sirzechs asks.

"Until Rias is with the boy she truly wants, no." Grayfia said.

At the Vongola House, Kyoko was sitting down as the battle was on her TV. Behind her, Gokudrea and Lambo were watching with her.

At Tsunade's House, she was sitting down eager to watch this battle as well with Azazel watching from nearby.

At an unknown location, a man with spiky black hair was watching, this was Yamamoto Takeshi.

He looked at the TV with interest when he heard a knock at the door.

"Come in its open." The man said as it opened to reveal a woman with long purple hair, a trident in her hand and an eyepatch on her right eye, this was Chrome Dokuro.

"Has it started yet?" Chrome asks.

"Nah you just made it." Yamamoto said as she sat down.

"So where's Winter?" Chrome asks.

"With her mom. Where's your student?" Yamamoto asks.

"Still undercover, but she's watching." Chrome said.

In a large arena field, Riser and his team were staring down Seth and his Guardians.

"Your numbers are almost as sad as Rias." Riser mocks.

"They didn't seem to mind, why should we?" Seth glares.

Riser looks up to see Rias looking down at them. "Don't worry darling, the second Riser destroys this pathetic human our wedding can begin."

"I just hope you can get a refund on everything you bought." Seth said.

"Alright Vongola, since Riser will win, I'll let you pick the field." Riser said.

"I'll finish where Rias left off. Let's settle this at Kuoh Academy." Seth said.

"Very well." Riser said as the arena around them changed to mimic Kuoh Academy.

Seth and his team were in the Occult Research Club and Riser was in the Principal's office like last time.

"So what's the plan?" Erza asks.

"You guys take on the Queen and all the other pieces. I'm going right for Riser." Seth said.

"Not even hesitating?" Sakura asks.

"No, I'm confident you guys can handle them all." Seth said holding up his hand and Sky Flames shot out of his hands and on his head. "Let's go."

From inside everyone was watching the screens as every single member of Seth's team left the Occult Research Club.

"What are they up too? Seth is walking right towards Riser. He'll see him a mile away." Issei said.

"I think he knows that." Akeno said.

"Seth isn't wasting any time. He wants Riser and nothing is gonna get in his way." Kiba said.

"Except the rest of Riser's pieces." Koneko said.

"I wouldn't be too sure about that." Lucy points.

Near the school gym, Sakura was looking around when she suddenly heard a noise and jumps back dodging an attack.

"She's fast." Sakura said when she looked to see another figure swing a kick knocking her backwards.

Looking up she saw Riser's Rooks Xulean and Isabela glaring her down.

"So you guys decided not to waste any time?" Sakura asks.

"Lord Riser doesn't tolerate anyone who stands in his way." Xulean said taking a fighting stance.

"I hear the Guardian of the Sun Ring is supposed to be the strongest fighter. I can't wait to rip that ring off your finger." Isabela said cracking her knuckles.

"Try me." Sakura said taking a fighting stance.

Charging towards her, both Rooks attack but Sakura holds up her hands blocking the punch and kicks.

Xulean delivers a powerful palm strike hitting Sakura in the gut. Smirking she thought she had this when suddenly Sakura grabbed her arm causing her to gasp.

"Hey, where'd the grin go?" Sakura asks punching Xulean in the face knocking her to the ground before turning to Isabela. "Come on. I'm nowhere near done."

Growling Isabela moved in and attacked throwing a powerful left hook but Sakura ducks and deals an uppercut to her gut making her fall next to Xulean.

"How can you be so strong? You're just a human." Xulean said.

"And you're just pathetic Rooks. Koneko hits much harder than either of you." Sakura said causing the little girl to smile at the compliment.

Growling both Rooks stood up and tightened their fists and charged.

Grinning Sakura aims her fist down at the ground. "CHAAA!" Sun flames surround her fist as she punches the ground causing the area around them to shake as a giant crater forms knocking both rooks back.

"What power." Isabela gasps.

"How?" Xulean said as Sakura took a fighting stance.

"Still think I'm a weak human? Sakura asks.

From above, Yubelluna was looking down at them waiting for her moment.

"That one is the only healer, I take her out and the match is Riser's." Yubelluna said when she heard a noise.

From the trees, a figure leaped up and attacked her. Raising her staff Yubelluna blocks it and descends to reveal Hibari was her attacker.

"The Guardian of the Cloud." Yubelluna said.

"I wanted to face Riser, but Seth wants him so I guess I'll settle for his strongest piece." Hibari said readying his tonfas.

"Oh she is screwed." Akeno grins seeing the woman who beat her facing Hibari.

"You think you can defeat me?" Yubelluna asks.

"I watched you fight. You don't even fight like a Queen." Hibari said before charging in.

Swinging her staff, multiple fireballs shot towards Hibari but he ran out of the way as they exploded upon hitting the ground.

Leaping in Hibari swings his tonfas forcing her to block with her staff only to skid backwards from the impact.

Yubelluna recovers to see Hibari move in again. Raising her staff, Yubelluna blocks his attacks before swinging making Hibari jump back to dodge.

"You can't hit me if you can't get close to me!" Yubelluna said slamming her staff to the ground causing a circle of fire to form around him.

Smirking Yubelluna thought her victory was sealed when suddenly a small purple flame formed in the center of the circle before it exploded completely canceling out Yubelluna's attack shocking her as Hibari walked out with a deadly look on his face.

"I'll bite you to death." Hibari declared saying his catchphrase.

Readying her staff, Yubelluna braced herself. 'I cannot lose again. I will destroy him.'

Near the front of the school, Itachi was staring down Riser's Bishops, Ravel and Mihae.

"I see, Riser split you all up into groups that he thought would be tough for each one of us." Itachi said.

"Your eyes are strong, but illusions can only get you so far." Ravel said as flame wings came out of her back.

"Ravel Phenex, the youngest member of the House of Phenex. You should have been given your own Peerage set but instead your brother took that chance away from you." Itachi said.

"My brother is very powerful. No one can beat him." Ravel said.

"Wrong. Seth is much stronger than he can ever hope to be." Itachi said.

"Do not waste your breath on this one. He is not worth it." Mihae said looking down at his chest area to avoid his eyes.

As a magic circle appears around her Itachi moved his fingers and suddenly Mihae's eyes fell into a trance before she fell to the ground.

"Riser's Bishop has retired." Grayfia announced.

"And just like that, the first win goes to Seth." Lucy smirks.

"What the hell was that?" Ravel asks.

"I don't just use my eyes to cast illusions. I can do it just as easily with my fingers." Itachi said as Ravel growled realizing this wasn't gonna be easy. "Time to teach you Phenexs a lesson." Doing a series of hand signs Itachi took a deep breath before breathing a giant fireball.

Leaping up Ravel flies out of the way before Itachi threw kunai and shuriken at her who counters with her magic making them explode.

Nearby on the track and field, Erza drew her sword and was using it to block attacks by Riser's Knights, Siris and Karlamine.

As Siris swung her Zweihander, Erza raised her sword and blocks it skidding back.

"Gotcha!" Karlamine said swinging her sword.

"Requip!" Erza said as a bright light engulfs her and when Karlamine gets in close another sword blocks it.

"Huh?" Karlamine looks to see Erza was in her Heaven's Wheel Armor.

"You two are good swords fighters, but good isn't enough!" Erza said pushing Karlamine back.

Flying in Erza slashes both girls making them crash to the ground.

"What is she?" Siris groans.

"She's not human." Karlamine groans.

"Oh assure you, I am." Erza said readying her swords.

Across the field and up on the hill, Blake and Hinata stood back to back as all of Riser's Pawns, Ile and Nel, Ni and Li, Marion, Burent, Shuriya and Mira circled them.

"Most guys give little girls dolls, but this stupid chicken gives them chainsaws." Blake narrows her eyes as Ile and Nel approached her.

"Wanna play?" Ile asks.

"We'll chop you up into little pieces!" Nel said as they revved up their saws.

Charging forward Blake draws her sword and sheath before jumping over the little girls.

"Hey hold still!" Ile said as they chased after Blake forcing her to jump backwards towards the edge of the hill.

"Nowhere to run now!" Nel said as they ran towards her but Blake smirks as both of them leap at her and Blake disappears revealing her to be a clone causing both of them to gasp as Blake appears behind them.

"Who's running?" Blake asks as she strikes them both in the back of the head making them fall down the hill and crash to the ground unconscious.

"Two of Riser's Pawns have retired." Grayfia announced.

"Don't make me hurt you." Hinata said activating her Byakugan.

"Don't worry, this will be over quickly." Mira said spinning her wooden staff before lunging in.

Sidestepping, Hyuga does a series of jabs to Mira's body causing her to drop her staff as her arms went numb.

"My arms! What did you do to me?" Mira gasps.

"The same thing Seth did, beat you." Hinata said slamming her palm into Mira's chest sending her smashing into wall.

"One of Riser's Pawns has retired." Grayfia announced.

The remaining 5 Pawns looked to each other. Realizing they could not afford to let either of these two humans win.

As all the fights were going on Seth walks into the school and stopped in front of the Principal's office and could instantly tell Riser was still inside.

"Here it is." Seth said as his head flame grew before he kicked the door open. "Guess who Yakitori?"

"Don't you know how to knock?" Riser asks spinning around in the chair to face him.

"I guess a lowly human like me never really cared about manners." Seth said walking in.

"I never understood what the hell my Rias saw in garbage like you." Riser said.

"See, right there, that's why. You and so many other devils here treat Rias like she's just an object, a piece of property you can do whatever you want with. I treat her like a living being." Seth said.

"Vongola, just give up before Riser humiliates you. Hand over the rings and I might let you leave with your life." Riser said.

"Over my dead body." Seth said as flames came out of his fists causing Riser to grin.

"Riser was hoping you would say that." Riser said standing up.

From the outside, a giant explosion went off as everyone looked to the school to see two flaming figures flying out of the school.

Using his flames Seth used them to fly through the sky while Riser flew after him with his flaming wings before they landed on the roof.

"Come on out human, this battle is pointless." Riser said when Seth crushed something in his hands. "No matter how much you hit me I will never go down."

"Oh yeah?" Seth punched Riser in the face when suddenly Riser let out an intense scream of agony shocking everyone.

"How did he do that?" Issei asks when he noticed something dripping from his gloves.

"Holy water." Riser growls feeling the burn.

"For a devil it's deadly, but for a human like me I don't feel a thing." Seth said before hitting Riser again and again until he fell down.

"You son of a bitch." Riser growls.

"You may be able to heal Riser but not even you can take these attacks without feeling some pain. Now you have to deal with an opponent who can hit you back." Seth said.

Eyes narrowing Riser stood up and flames erupted out of him. "The flames of the Phenex are unlike anything in the world. They will burn you away into nothing but ash!" Firing a powerful blast of flames Seth held up his gloves to block the attack before Riser flies in and rams into him knocking Seth off the roof before he lands on the ground.

Flying in Riser fires multiple blasts at Seth forcing him to jump back before a fireball smashed right into him.

Grinning Riser hurls half a dozen more at Seth causing a giant fiery explosion.

Rias cringed thinking the worst as Riser floats down.

"Riser warned you, human. This is what happens when someone gets in my way." Riser said waiting to pull the ring off his body.

"Really Riser?" Seth's voice said as Riser saw a figure through the flames causing his eyes to widen.

Suddenly in Seth's hands he held it up to reveal his Vongola box was open and a small roar came from it before something appeared on the figure.

With a swing of his hands Seth cancels out the flames but what shocked everyone was a long black cloak around Seth's body.

Looking down Sirzechs gasps remembering that cloak all too well. "I don't believe it."

"You're still alive?" Riser asks.

"So this is the power of the Phenex flames? Gotta say, I'm not impressed." Seth said.

"Excuse me." Riser glares.

"You're just a caged little birdie who thinks he's strong because you beat everyone in the pet store. Don't think for a second your little bird flames can stand up to the power of the Dying Will Flames!" Seth roars launching himself forward and punches Riser in the gut with a flaming fist sending him smashing into the wall. "You don't know how to get your hands dirty!" Flying in Seth punches Riser again and again before delivering a powerful uppercut launching him into the air.

Shooting up like a rocket Seth flies above Riser before putting both his hands together and slamming them both down on Riser's head sending him crashing into the ground making a crater.

Creating a sphere of fire in his hands, Seth threw it down, but just before it made impact Riser roars destroying it with his own fire attack.

Stepping out of the crater, Riser's coat was in taters before he ripped it off.

"Still think you can win?" Seth glares.

"Riser will win! Riser is a pure-blood devil of the highest honor and you are nothing but a worthless human being! You are garbage and Riser refuses to let a lowly human claim Rias Gremory!" Riser roars.

"One of Riser's Paws has retired." Grayfia announced getting his attention.

"Looks like your team isn't holding up either." Seth said.

Holding out his hands Riser released a powerful blast that flew towards Seth.

As flames engulf both their fists Riser and Seth charged in and met each other head on and grappled.

"You spent so much time looking down at others you didn't some were shooting right past you." Seth said tightening his grip causing Riser to flinch.

"Riser refuses to lose to a lowly human!" Riser said tightening his grip to the point the flames around both of them were rising.

Inside the gym, Xulean and Sakura were exchanging punches and kicks trying to get the upper hand.

Xulean does a roundhouse but Sakura grabs it and throws her back.

She was about to go in for an attack when Isabela grabbed her from behind. "Nowhere to run now." Isabela smirks trapping Sakura in her grip.

Seeing this opening Xulean moved in to finish her off.

"Oh hell no!" Sakura growls stomping her foot down on Isabela's causing her to flinch in pain allowing Sakura to break out of her hold, elbow Isabela in the gut before grabbing her and judo throwing her into Xulean sending them both crashing to the ground.

Groaning both of them looked up to see Sakura diving down with an axe kick and nailing Isabela in the gut making her scream in agony before disappearing.

"One of Riser's Rooks has retired." Grayfia said as Xulean rolled to the side and got up.

"One left." Sakura said.

"But I'm not going down without a fight." Xulean said as her devil wings shot out.

Acting quickly Sakura rolls out of the way dodging Xulean as she flew in before holding up her arms blocking all of the flying kicks thrown at her.

Xulean dives down and kicks Sakura before jumping back and sweeping her leg making Sakura fall to the ground and against the wall.

"And now, the first Guardian falls." Xulean said.

"Not today." Sakura said as coated her fist in Sun Flames and punched the wall causing the whole gym to shake and rattle as the ceiling lights started to shake violently before falling down.

Gasping Xulean flies out of the way to avoid them but at the end right when she thought she was in the clear Sakura appeared in front of her.

Eyes widening Sakura punches Xulean right in the gut sending her flying out through a giant hole.

"Riser's second Rook has retired." Grayfia announced.

At her house, Tsunade pumped her fist. "Oh yeah, that's my student."

"Wow, it's like looking in the past. She's as tough as you were." Azazel said.

"You should know that better than anyone." Tsunade smirks as Azazel rubbed his stomach area at the memory.

"All too well." He cringed.

On the field, Siris and Karlamine were doing everything in their power to avoid getting hit.

Summoning multiple swords, Erza launched them like missiles, but thanks to their knight speed they were able to dodge before moving in.

As Siris slams her large sword down, Erza blocks it with ease.

"How are you able to see our movements? Knights are the definition of speed." Siris growls.

"I've trained with Kiba, none of you are even close to matching his speed." Erza said pushing her back. "Pentagram Sword!" Leaping in Erza slashes Siris with an attack in the shape of a pentagram causing her to scream before falling to the ground.

"One of Riser's Knights has retired." Grayfia announced.

Karlamine looks to Erza who changes her armor back to her Hearts Kreuz armor.

"One to go." Erza said raising her sword.

"No, I can't lose." Karlamine said raising her sword and charging in.

As blue Rain flames surround Erza's sword she charges in.

The two swordsmen meet in the middle and slash sliding past the other. Both Erza and Karlamine stood where they were for a few seconds before Karlamine fell to the ground.

"Riser's Second Knight has retired." Grayfia announced.

Zooming out, Yamamoto claps his hands and cheers. "Whoo! Go Erza! No one can match a Rain Guardian!" He cheers.

Chrome smiles softly loving that their team was winning.

'Seth really has an amazing team. Just like Tsuna.' Chrome smiles at the memory of the good old days.

As Ravel attacked Itachi he jumped back dodging all the attacks and making the distance between him and Ravel greater.

"You can't run forever." Ravel said as one hit Itachi making him skid back.

"You're right. Let's end this." Itachi said activating his sharingan and reaching for his Vongola Box.

Indigo Mist Flames emit from his ring before he slammed it against the box causing it to glow before opening up causing a caw to appear from it.

Suddenly a crow shot out of the box and flew towards Ravel making her fly out of the way to dodge before it flew back and landed on Itachi's shoulder.

"A Crow?" Ravel asks.

"Such an interesting bird don't you think? For some a crow is a symbol for magic and mystery, but for some, it's a symbol of death." Itachi said as the crow cawed. "Let's go Tengu."

Suddenly Itachi's body started to change into a flock of crows.

Flying up Tengu joined them and the flock circled Ravel cawing like they were ready to attack.

Looking around in fear, Ravel spread her wings and tried to fly away but the crows were right on her tail.

"What kind of attack is this?" Ravel asks when she comes to a stop and makes a wall of fire causing all the crows to stop in their tracks.

Catching her breath, Ravel thought she was in the clear when suddenly something cold pressed against her neck causing her to gasp.

Turning around she saw Itachi glaring at her with a kunai to her neck.

"Don't make me have to kill you." Itachi threatens in a cold tone as Tengu flew around and glares at her with red eyes Ravel flinched seeing there was no way she could escape.

"I surrender." Ravel sighs before disappearing.

"Riser's Bishop has surrendered." Grayfia announced as Tengu flew onto Itachi's shoulder causing him to smile and pet the bird.

"Good work." Itachi smiles.

By the Tennis Court, Blake was fighting off the catgirls Ni and Li who were forcing her back towards the net.

"Cute bow, you trying to act like a cat too?" Ni mocks.

"Maybe when we win, we'll take that from you." Li smirks causing Blake to tighten her grip.

"Seth gave me this bow, and no one but him can touch it." Blake declares as red Storm flames surrounded her Gambol Shroud.

Pulling out the gun setting Blake fires red bullets at the two girls causing them to bob and weave. Slicing the tennis net free, Blake grabs it and ties it around her weapon.

Ni and Li move in and deliver a double kick making Blake bend backwards before she threw her weapon causing the tennis net to wrap around them both trapping them inside.

"Oh and by the way, those outfits don't make you look like a cats, it makes you look desperate and pathetic." Blake said grabbing her sword and sheath.

Both catgirls gasp as Blake leaps in and slashes them both at the same time before they fell to the ground.

"Two of Riser's Pawns have retired." Grayfia announced.

As Shuriya fell to the ground, Burent and Marion looked to Hinata who was glaring them down.

Looking to each other, the two maids moved in. Marion reached to her sides and pulled out two daggers while Burent summoned metal plating around her feet.

Marion swings her daggers forcing Hinata to jump back allowing Burent to come in from behind.

Swinging her foot Burent kicks Hinata but she just smirks.

"Rotation!" Hinata said spinning quickly causing a sphere to appear sending both girls flying to the ground.

As Marion looks up Hinata moves in and attacks sending her flying back before spinning around and nailing Burent in the gut taking them both out.

"All of Riser's Pawns have been defeated." Grayfia announced as Blake walks over to Hinata.

"That means all that's left is Riser and the Queen." Hinata said.

"Let's go." Hinata said.

Finally, Hibari and Yubelluna were in their battle and Yubelluna realized she had no backup anymore.

"No more sneak attacks." Hibari said swinging his tonfas forcing Yubelluna to fly up.

'He thinks he has me beat, but I still have my Phoenix Tear. This match is as good as mine' Yubelluna thought.

Spinning her staff Yubelluna fires multiple magical bombs that explode around Hibari trapping him where he stood.

"You can't run from me." Yubelluna said creating multiple fireballs that surround Hibari. "You can't avoid them and if you touch them, you're finished."

"You think a little trick like this will scare me?" Hibari smirks.

From the bottom of his tonfas two chains shot out and spun quickly.

"No you can't possibly be—" Before Yubelluna could finish Hibari swings his chains destroying all the fireballs setting off the explosions.

Using the shockwave from them Hibari leaps towards Yubelluna and nails her in the gut with his tonfas knocking the wind out of her when Hibari noticed something dangling from her.

As Yubelluna falls to the ground Hibari attacks again knocking her back.

Panting heavily, Yubelluna stood up. "Sorry but that was all for nothing." Yubelluna reached for her Phoenix tear but felt nothing. "What? Where is it?"

"Looking for this?" Hibari said holding up the vial shocking her. "You used this same trick against Akeno. Did you really think I would fall for the same thing?" Dropping the vial to the ground Hibari smashes it under his foot causing Yubelluna to growl. "I've wasted enough time on you. You focus only on Magic, but a Queen has the power of all the pieces."

Reaching to his belt he pulls out his Vongola box causing her eyes to widen as purple flames shot out of his ring and he opens the box.

From the box, a small hedgehog with sharp spikes on its back appeared.

"Hello Roll." Hibari said.

"You plan to stop me with that little rodent?" Yubelluna mocks.

"Yes." Hibari said snapping his fingers and Roll started to multiple surrounding Yubelluna as giant spike balls formed on his back.

"What on earth is this?!" Yubelluna raises her staff to try and destroy them but the attacks just bounced off them.

"Roll's defense is so strong nothing can push him back." Hibari said as the spike balls surrounded Yubelluna trapping her.

Moving in Hibari spins his tonfas before slamming one down on Yubelluna's head and the other into her gut sending her crashing to the ground.

"Riser's Queen has retired." Grayfia announced.

"Amazing, they took out all of Riser's Pieces." Issei said.

"They're really strong." Koneko said.

"While we were lucky to survive." Kiba said.

"Actually I think the reason they're doing so well is because of you guys." Sona said.

"How so?" Asia asks.

"They were in the Student Council office with Sona and Tsubaki and watched the whole Rating Game. Even though we lost, they're making sure Riser's Peerage didn't take them out with the same moves." Rias said.

"So that means we're actually helping them win." Akeno said.

Down below, Seth and Riser were exchanging fire attacks.

Riser fires a stream of flames at Seth but he pulls up his cloak which absorbs the attack before he moves in and punched Riser in the gut before jumping up and kicking him in the face.

Riser struggles to get up when suddenly a sword flew in almost stabbing him in the shoulder.

"I'd watch yourself if I were you." Erza said walking in.

Suddenly a flock of crows flew in startling Riser before Itachi landed on a branch looking down at him with Tengu on his arm.

"Nowhere to run." Itachi said with his Sharingan ready.

Riser growls when he the wall behind him was destroyed knocking him to the ground.

Turning around he saw Sakura and Hinata glaring at him.

"You have no one to hide behind." Sakura said.

"We beat all your pieces." Blake said dropping down behind Seth.

Riser gasps before Hibari walks in with Roll on his shoulder and his tonfa ready. "Let's end this." Hibari declared.

Riser looked to see his entire Peerage had been defeated and he was staring down the 7 Vongola Guardians.

"It can't be…you're just humans!" Riser yells.

"And yet we beat every single devil you threw at us." Blake said.

"You can't beat all of us, Riser." Seth said walking forward. "You lose."

Just like that, something snapped in Riser and suddenly the flames exploded out of him like a volcano.

"Lose? LOSE?! RISER NEVER LOSSES!" Riser roars as flames erupted out of Riser creating a giant inferno shot out burning all the trees in the area around them.

"Behold! This is the power of a pure-blood devil! Something a pathetic human like you could never come close to!" Riser roars as the flames burned in response to his anger.

However, none of the Vongola Guardians showed any fear as Seth continued stepping forward.

"Riser, I've given you enough chances. I'm done." A serious expression appeared on Seth's face before he put held out his hand and a bright orange light started to glow.

As the other guardians watched Seth's light glowed brighter and brighter and Riser's flames burned stronger.

"IT'S OVER VONGOLA!" Riser roars unleashing his ultimate attack.

"For you! X Burner!" Seth roars releasing a power blast of orange flames shot out completely overwhelming Riser's attack and sending him flying backwards screaming.

"Where did Seth learn a move like that?" Issei gasps.

Smirking Tsuna points to himself causing Sirzechs to chuckle.

"It's a fierce attack. Trust me I know." Sirzechs said.

Groaning in pain, Riser's injuries were starting to heal as Seth made his way towards him causing Riser to laugh.

"Impressive move Vongola but it was all for nothing. You can hit me all you want, nothing will stop me from defeating you and making Rias mine." Riser said.

"That's where you're wrong Riser. I have one move left." Seth said his gloves glowed brightly before grabbing Riser's hands creating a blinding light.

When the light dies down, Riser groans when suddenly he felt something in his hands.

Looking down he gasps to see his hands frozen in blocks of ice shocking everyone. "Ice?"

"Checkmate Riser." Seth declares.

"What did you do to me?!" Riser asks when Seth grabs Riser's arms causing the ice to grow and expand around his body. "You think ice can hold Riser?!" Riser tried to make flames and melt the ice but nothing happened. "Why aren't my powers working?"

"This is a special move past down from my family for generations it was created to take down people like you." Seth glares.

"What kind of move is that?" Sirzechs asks.

"It's called Zero Point Breakthrough; it was a move created by the First Vongola to deal with the 3 Factions as well any corrupt Dying Will Flame users." Tsuna said surprising everyone.

"But I thought you said the First Vongola was a man of peace." Issei said.

"He was, but he wasn't a fool. The three faction leaders may respect my family but he knew somewhere along the line there would always be a few who wouldn't accept humans among their ranks and he created this move. He knew someday a Vongola would need this move and he was right." Tsuna said.

"So why isn't it melting?" Asia asks.

"Unlike the fire which increases your power, the ice is the exact opposite. It cannot be melted by ordinary means. Any energy that comes into contact with it is absorbed into ice and traps the target inside. It can only be melted with the Dying Will Flames." Tsuna said.

"And since Riser's power allows him to always heal nonstop." Sona said.

"The ice will absorb it forever. This is match is over." Tsuna said causing Rias to smile. Seth had done it.

"Let me out of this! Let me out!" Riser yells trying to break out of the ice.

"Look at me! Turn around and look at me you stupid chicken!" Seth roars as Riser looks to him. "You're a real pain, but you made one mistake! You made Rias cry!"

"You don't understand! I have to win this match! The future of devils is on the line! Rias and I have to be married." Riser said trying to ignite his flames but the ice just grew.

"I don't care. Nothing you say can change my mind. If a piece of garbage is the future you need to be wiped out." Seth said as flames grew in his fist.

"You're making a mistake please! Let me win and you can keep your Rings! I'll give you anything! Money! Power! Women! My entire Peerage! Please!" Riser begs as ice started to cover his entire body. "What's happening to me?!" Riser struggles trying to break free as he raised his fist to attack Seth. "Vongola!"

Pulling back his fist, Seth punches Riser in the face causing the ice to completely surround him trapping him inside.

"You'll never bother Rias again." Seth said.

"Riser has retired. The winner is Seth Vongola!" Grayfia announced.

"HE DID IT!" Issei cheered as all the devils inside cheered along with him.

"I suppose I should use this chance to revise Rias's engagement. To the family I should have asked a long time ago." Sirzechs said looking to Tsuna.

"About time." Tsuna smirks.

"Hey where's Rias?" Sirzechs asks noticing she was gone.

"Where else?" Grayfia smiles. "She went to congratulate her new fiance."

As the Vongola Guardians stepped out of the arena, Seth's cloak disappeared to reveal a small lion cub with a silver helmet and a mane made of Sky flames.

"Good job Natsu, you really helped me out." Seth said when he heard running. Looking up he saw Rias stopping a short distance away from him. "See? I told you I would always be there for you."

Tears dropping down Rias runs over and hugs Seth tightly. "Thank you, thank you so much."

Smiling Seth wraps his arms around her and pulls her in close.

As Rias's peerage and the Vongola Guardians look over they saw Seth lift Rias's chin up and he kissed her on the lips which she happily returns.

Neo narrows her eyes before sighing.

"Sorry Neo, looks like Rias is Seth's number one girl." Lucy said patting her on the back however Neo wasn't ready to give up that easily.

Issei looks over at the newly engaged couple and smiles. 'Seth is so strong; he was willing to risk everything to protect Rias and he pushed himself to use all his abilities to win. While I just tried to use them to destroy clothes.' Issei thought looking down at his hand. 'You know what? Screw it. It's time I took this seriously. I have to if I want to be strong like Seth someday.' Issei smiles with a new source of inspiration filling him up.

Hearing a noise he saw Ravel near the frozen statue of her brother.

"Riser." Ravel said worried.

"He got what he deserved." Issei said walking over to her.

Growling Ravel turns to him to throw a punch. "How dare you talk to me like that?!"

However, Issei caught the punch with one hand surprising her.

"Listen little girl. If you don't want to end up like him you're gonna leave Rias, Seth and their families alone or you're next." Issei glares.

Ravel gasps as a soft blush appeared on her face. No one had ever talked to her like that before.

"Now take these piece of garbage and get lost." Issei said as Ravel took Riser away.

Turning around Issei smiles as Rias took Seth away little did any of them know, this happy couple would lead to something totally incredible for all of them.
