Devil Family Engagement?!

3rd Person POV

The surprise visit from Rias last night still left (Y/N) rather worried. As both he and Asia continued on their way to school, his mind continued to wander.

'I still can't get over last night with Rias and that Grayfia lady...She did say that she served under Rias's brother, so maybe this whole thing is family related like I thought?' He contemplated, shaking his head in frustration. 'I just don't know...'

Completely out of nowhere, someone managed to slam (Y/N) over the head, knocking him to the ground. "Rot in hell, traitor!" The voice yelled furiously.

Upon hearing the shouter's voice, (Y/N) recognized it being Motohama. He slowly rose up off the ground and looked behind him, seeing Matsuda enraged along with the bespectacled pervert. "What?" He asked in an uncaring deep tone.

"Imma kill you, bitch!" Matsuda shouted, clearly enraged. "Miltan a girl like hell, son! I know Andre the Giant when I see that shit dangle!" He added.

"Not to mention he was dressed up like a princess. HE ASKED IF WE WERE MAGICAL!!!" Motohama joined in.

(Y/N) did not respond however, he merely rose up off the ground and dusted himself off, turned away from the two screaming perverts. "...That's what this is about?" He mumbled.

"(Y/N)? Are you okay?" Asia asked in worry.

"How you gonna try and hook us up with a dude?!" The shaved headed young man bawled.

The two perverts clung together tightly, having the mere thought of multiple muscular men dressed in drag scared them to death. "He was having a party for guys who dress like little girls. Have you ever been in a room full of magical princess tanks?! It's not pretty!!!" Motohama cried.

'Try being in one when they're trying to kill you...' (Y/N) said to himself in remembrance of an past job.

"I've never been so scared in my life! That was cold, Jack. We thought we were dead!" Matsuda added, reaching for the young devil's shoulders, only to stop as he felt a sudden chill shoot down his spine.

"Listen. To me. I am NOT in the best of moods today, yet you still bug me with this stupid, asinine, bullshit?! I suggest you leave now before I thrash the both of you into next week." (Y/N) threatened, scaring the two boys into running ahead of the two devils and heading to school.

(Y/N) took a deep breath and relaxed, picked up his bag and swung it over his shoulder. "Come on, Asia." He called. "Let's go."

"R-Right." She said, joining her guardian by his side as the two continued onward to school. "So um...Are you okay?" She asked in worry.

"I...I don't know how to feel." (Y/N) admitted. "With everything that's happened recently, I'm just so confused."

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Think about it. I almost died; twice in one day, I get a Heroic Spirit to serve me through means I don't even come CLOSE to understanding, and now this whole thing with Rias. If anything, I'm worried that something bad is going to happen..." (Y/N) looked down solemnly.

"(Y/N)..."

"Hey guys!" Someone called out.

The two look over and spot both Issei and Kiba walking together.

The two group of devils joined together and continue on their way. As they traveled, (Y/N) took this opportunity to ask Kiba and Issei about Rias. Seeing as they've known her the longest, they may have known something.

Kuoh Academy

"You're right; I think something is bugging her." Kiba claimed. "If I had to guess, I'd say it's some House of Gremory drama."

"You think Akeno might know what's going on then?" (Y/N) asked.

"She is her right hand lady, so if anyone would, it's her." Kiba said. Suddenly, he stopped and scowled, as if something unpleasant had come to mind.

"What is it?" Issei asked.

"Well...There is one thing I can think that would upset her...And it's pretty bad news." The blonde Knight said gravely.

ORC Headquarters

The moment the four devils entered the club's meeting room, the atmosphere was filled to the brim with such serious tension.

"Hello." Was all (Y/N) managed to muster up and say.

The only people in the room presently were Akeno, Koneko, Rias, and the maid (Y/N) met last night, Grafiya.

"Lady Grayfia...Hello again." (Y/N) bowed in greeting.

"Greetings Azure Dragon Emperor. You look well rested despite the events that transpired last night." She greeted.

"DUDE!!! How do you know this hottie?!" Issei asked quietly, whispering into (Y/N)'s ear.

"It's...complicated." He mumbled.

"Well, everyone's here...Good..." Rias said coldly, standing up out of her chair.

"My lady." Grafiya addressed. "If you don't mind, may I have your permission to speak openly?" The silver haired maid requested.

Rias only waved her hand, silencing everything and everyone. "Let's hear her out..."

Suddenly, a bright flash of orange light emerged from the side of the room. The light revealed to be a magic circle. The crest looking unfamiliar to some of the newer devils. But it quickly erupted into a brilliant flame, accompanied by the sound of a phoenix's cry.

Rias stared at the flame with spite, while her servants look on in worry.

'What is this? Phoenix fire?' (Y/N) pondered, feeling Asia's grip on his arm tighten.

The roaring fire eventually disappears, and emerges from within appears to be a blond haired man in a red wine colored suite, bearing greedly and devious dark blue eyes. He sighed upon completing his teleportation. "And Riser has arrived in the human realm." He turned around and looked immediately at the Peerage's master. "I've come all this way to see you...My beloved Rias." He greeted. His voice profusely leaked ill manner intentions towards Rias.

"Okay? And who's this now?" (Y/N) asked with slight hostility.

"This gentleman is Lord Riser Phoenix. He is a pureblooded devil of noble birth, third heir in line to the House of Phoenix." Grayfia explained, as (Y/N) continued to glare at Riser.

"And that should mean what to me?" He snarled.

"He is also fiancé to the next head of the House of Gremory." She added, shocking (Y/N) and a few of the newer devils.

"Wait what?! You're kidding me! Right?!" He asked, hoping that this wasn't the case.

"I am not. Lady Rias has been engaged to Lord Riser for quite some time now." The silver haired maid continued.

"No way...They're getting married?" (Y/N) asked in horror.

Time Skip

Riser took a gentle sip of the tea given to him by Akeno and simply smiled. "Lovely." He said. "The tea prepared by my Rias's Queen is most delicious." He complimented Akeno, hanging his arm over Rias's shoulder and played with her silk smooth crimson hair, much to her discomfort.

"Thank you for the compliment, sir." Akeno bowed, clearly in disdain from Riser's very voice.

'What a fucking douchebag.' (Y/N) thought, hanging back behind everyone against the wall, his arms crossed as he only watched. 'This has got to be some sort of joke. Now way Rias and this prickbag would be getting married.' He thought, looking at his master's spiteful expresion. 'Unless...'

Riser continued to play with Rias's hair, only to place his other hand on her supple thigh, proceeding to caress it, making Rias extremely uncomfortable.

(Y/N) did everything he could to restrain himself from lashing out at the Noblemen for showing such disrespect towards his master. "Somebody better hold me back, 'cause I'm about to kill this motherfucker...!" The Azure Dragon Emperor hissed silently.

"That's enough, Riser!" Said Rias, shooting up from her seat. "Let it go. Why don't you understand? I have no intention of marrying you."

The blonde Phoenix simply scoffex, clearly caring little for Rias's opinion on the matter. "But my darling, Riser believes your family's circumstances are still such that you cannot afford to be so selfish." Riser explained.

"I will not bring my family to ruin. I have no intention of denying you your right to our name. However, let me be clear, my husband will be MY choice." Rias claimed.

"Remember, it's imperative for devils to remain pureblood..." Riser replied. "We're still recovering our numbers from the last war. Both your father and Sir Zechs decided on this arrangement with the future of devils in mind."

Rias turned away, avoiding any further eye contact with the pushy noblemen. "My father, my brother, and my whole clan made this decision because they are in too great a rush." Rias explained. "For the final time...Riser! I will not marry you!" She declares, making all of (Y/N)'s worry dissipate in its entirety.

'I see. It's like I thought. This is a pre-arranged marriage. Rias wants no part of this in the slightest. Thank goodness.' The young devil smiled, sighing in relief.

Riser stood up and grabbed the crimson haired devils' chin, forcing her attention toward him once again. "For the final time, Rias. Riser bears the reputation of the House of Phoenix. Besmirching our good name is unacceptable." He goaded with hostility.

"HEY!!! BACK OFF!!!" (Y/N) ordered him, ready to jump in and intervene alongside his fellow devils.

"Riser doesn't take orders from you. Riser doesn't care if he has to incinerate everyone in this room. You will return to the underworld with me!" He ordered.

Their magical energies spiked, encasing them both in their respective auras, both looking as though they were prepared to attack each other.

"There is no need for incineration..." Grayfia interjected, stopping the two purebloods. "My Lady Rias, Lord Riser...As you know, I am here by order of Sir Zechs. Which means, there will be NO disruption of peace." She ordered.

Riser smiled and shrugged, raising his hands submissively. "When told such an ominous thing by the one who is known as the "Ultimate Queen", even Riser can become somewhat fearful."

"My Master predicted there would be a conflict of some sort. As such he assigned me a last resort, should communication break down." Grayfia claimed.

"Yes, of course he did..." Rias stated sarcastically. "Would you care to be a little more specific?"

"If my Lady insists on putting her personal preferences above those of her family, she is to settle this via a Rating Game with Lord Riser." The Ultimate Queen suggested, causing Rias jump in surprise.

"Rating Game? What is that? Didn't Sona mention something about that before?" Asked (Y/N).

"She did." Kiba answered. "It's a game Noble Devils play with each other. Long story short, they and their servants compete in battle to determine who wins." The blonde Knight explained.

"I see. So is that why our roles are named after chess pieces?" (Y/N) questioned once more.

"Exactly, it's the reason we have individual powers that are inspired by, what we call, Evil Pieces in order to play the Rating Game." Informed the Priestess of Thunder.

"Riser has played through numerous Rating Games and has scored several wins for himself..." Riser bragged. "Unfortunately, my inexperienced bride has never even qualified for an official game." He claimed mockingly, earning a glare from his hateful fiancé.

"So what? Think that makes you better than us, shitbag?" (Y/N) snapped, earning an angered glare from the prestige firebird.

"The thing is, only mature devils are allowed to participate, so it's not as if she's had much opportunity." The raven haired Queen clarified.

"So...what? Does that mean we're at a disadvantage or something? We've been in fights before, we could totally take this guy down!" The Azure Dragon Emperor boomed eagerly.

"We've got more to worry about than that." Koneko stated.

"Rias, I have to ask...Is this adorable group the extent of your servants? They're all you have?" Riser asked.

"And so what if they are?" She answered.

Riser only let out an obnoxious laugh, snapping his finger and summoning another brilliant blaze from a magic circle on the floor. Within the flame, stood fifteen women. "Riser has 15 pieces. In other words..." The fire vanished, relieving his Peerage in its entirety. "I have a complete set."

"Whoa!" Issei marveled, staring at the gorgeous group of girls in front of him. "Fifteen, and they're hot as hell. Damn it, Issei hates him so much..." The young devil whined, breaking down and eventually growing into a full on crying fit. "Why can't I be this guy?!" He cried.

"Seriously?! Could you not?! For like, one day?! This is serious!" (Y/N) chastised.

The pervert grabbed his childhood friend by the collar of his blazer and began to shake him. "But (Y/N), they're all super hot! It's not fair!" He cried, holding onto (Y/N)'s blazer tighter the more he cried.

"I don't give a shit! This is Rias's life and freedom on the line! Focus you fucking idiot!!" (Y/N) roared as he tried to pry his crying friend's arms off him.

"My dear, why is your servant weeping uncontrollably?" Riser asked his fiancé.

"Because his dream is to have a harem." She answered.

"Ew, what a total barbarian." The blonde girl in the frilly pink dress said, her voice and sapphire blue eyes clearly showed disgust.

"Tell. Me. A. 'Bout. IT!" Bellowed the struggling devil, finally freeing himself from Issei's grasp and ferociously slamming him onto the ground. "NOW TAKE A FUCKING CHILL PILL YOU PERVERT!!!" He ordered.

The blonde girl from Riser's Peerage giggled. "Well, at least not all of your male servants are dogs like that one. Not only that, but a cute one to boot. You sure know how to pick 'em Rias." The girl smiled at the redhead, only to be ignored.

"Why on earth did that servant of yours slam his fellow devil into the ground like that?" Riser questioned.

"He absolutely hates perverts." (Y/N)'s master replied with a sigh.

"Oh, is that so..." Riser smiled, clearly thinking of something sinister to act on. He turned to his group of girls and looked at the buxom woman with long purple hair. "Yubelluna" He called.

"Yes...My lord?" The woman approached her master by his side.

The two stared at each other only for a moment. Riser quickly grabbed Yuballuna's chin and pulled her towards him, kissing her right in front of everyone.

Rias looked on in disgust, everyone else in her peerage was shocked. While (Y/N) only looked on in pure, murderous rage.

Their kiss developed into a full on make out session, paying no mind to anyone watching.

Riser then stopped and began to grope Yubelluna as he stroked her hair as she just allowed him to proceed however her master wished. "No matter how long you two live, you'll never have what I do. You're just lower class devils." Riser laughed, watching (Y/N)'s body twitch from restraining himself.

"You rotten son of a bitch..." He muttered.

"How dare you. It would best if you remembered your place when you speak to me you creten!" Riser retorted and belittled (Y/N) for his words, but was quickly silenced by the ferocious glare he received from the enraged dragon-devil hybrid.

"If you were trying to piss me off...Than congrats...You've succeeded!" He began to lunge at the Phoenix noblemen, but was restrained by the other membered of the ORC.

"(Y/N)! Please! You have to calm down!" Akeno begged, struggling to hold her junior devil back.

"I get that you're angry, but you can't just lash out at a noble like this!" Kiba said, trying to calm down the enraged devil.

"HOW ARE NONE OF YOU ANGRY AT THIS BASTARD?!" (Y/N) questioned angrily. "THIS FUCKING ASSHOLE HAD THE NERVE TO KISS ANOTHER WOMAN RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS, SO CALLED, FIANCÉ!!! AND YOU'RE JUST LETTING THIS SHIT SLIDE?!" (Y/N) roared, slowly managing to break free from his restrainers.

"(Y/N)! Please calm dow-" Rias began to beg, but was silenced by (Y/N)'s next outburst.

"AND ANOTHER THING! IF YOU THINK YOU CAN WALTZ ON IN HERE AND TAKE RIAS'S FUTURE AND FREEDOM AWAY, YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING!!! I AM HER SERVANT!!!AND I WILL DO ANYTHING I CAN TO PROTECT HER!!!" He declared, surprising Rias.

"(Y/N)..." She awed, watching her servant with such admiration.

"We don't need to play any damned game!" He said, summoning his Blazblue: Limit Breaker. "I'll kick your sorry ass right here, right now!" The young devil boomed, releasing a powerful shockwave, sending his restraining fellow devil off of him, allowing him to charge at the blonde womanizer.

"(Y/N), no!" Asia cried out, hoping he would stop, but to no avail.

"M-Mira!" Riser called frantically, summoning a small girl wielding a bow staff to face the angered (Y/N).

"Get out of my way, or you're dead." He growled.

The girl lunged towards (Y/N) with her staff, only for him to grab the end and break it within his gauntlet.

"Fine. Have it your way." His violent nature seeped within his voice. He quickly grabbed Mira from behind her head, and pulled her close kneed her in the stomach.

The blue haired girl coughed up a small amount of blood before remaining motionless from the shock of the sudden blow.

"...Stay down." (Y/N) said coldly, letting the girl go before punching her back to her master's feet.

"Any other servants you wanna send at me?" He asked Riser. "They'll just end up in the same condition." He warned.

Riser looked down at his servant in fear, slowly looking up at the young devil, radiating with powerful dragonic aura. "I-Ile! Nel! End this foolish charade!" Riser ordered sending two small green haired girls in gym uniforms to face (Y/N)'s rage.

"Children?...You sick fuck!"

The two green haired girls jumped high up into the air, and swiped their weapons down on the defending Dragon Emperor.

Almost immediately, blood erupted from his left arm as sparks emerged from his right, his left arm surging with a burning pain. He looked at his arms, as noticed that he was shielding himself against two gas powered chainsaws. (Y/N) cringed at the pain, quickly using his magic circuits and raw strength to stop the chainsaws from breaking through his bones as his armored claw shielded his right arm from the other servant's chainsaw.

Nobody could utter a single word. Everyone watched as Rias's servant endure such pain for his master. Even the one who was sent to see that things were not to escalate was shocked by how relentless this boy was. Needless to say, they were all speechless.

"That's enough!" He roared, freeing his arms and grabbing the two girls's heads, only to roar again as he slammed them both into the ground, creating small craters upon impact. He rose back up and dusted himself off, seeing two more of Riser's servants unconscious. "Now for you..." He glared as Riser, disappearing within the blink of an eye and reappearing right before Riser. "GO TO HELL!!!" He shouted, reached his armored hand out to Riser's face, only for him to stop. "W-What the-?!" He questioned, struggling to move as he remained suspended in midair.

"That's quite enough." The silver haired maid ordered rather calmly.

"W-What is this?! Why can't I move?!" (Y/N) struggled, only to find himself not able to move a single inch due to his restraints.

"My restraint magic, Silver Devil's Thread is unbreakable. No one has been able to break free from my bindings." Grayfia explained, earning an angered growl from the enraged devil. "Now stand down, this is your final warning." She ordered, tightening her hand covered in silver, practically invisible strings.

(Y/N) continued to resist and attempt to break free from this restraints, but suddenly stopped once he felt a gentle touch upon his back. He turned to see his master looking at him pleadingly.

"(Y/N)...Please." She begged.

"R-Rias..." (Y/N) stared into his master's eyes, calming his rage slowly.

However, as he began to calm himself down, an unspeakable, yet oh so familiar pain had made its return within his chest...His heart had stopped once more. 'God...Damn it! Why...Now?!' He questioned in rage.

His body began to slowly grow limp and his breathe stagnant. To anyone watching, it would seem he had completely calmed himself. However, this was far from the truth.

(Y/N)'s Blazblue: Limit Breaker soon vanished as his consciousness began to fade as Grafiya slowly let the captive devil out of her casted bindings and back down to the ground.

However, Riser smiled sinisterly, seeing this as a prime opportunity. He encased his hand of fire and reeled his fist back. "Time for you to learn your place you low class devil trash!!" He bellowed, lunging his fist into the fading devil's chest.

(Y/N) reawakened for a brief moment to feel the burning blow dealt to him from the Phoenix Nobleman, launching him like a rocket into the wall behind him with his fellow devils avoiding the flying body. He collided with the wall and created a crater upon impact, coughing up a large amount of blood as a result before falling face first into the floor.

"(Y/N)!!! Oh heavens!!" Asia cried, fearful for her guardian's current condition.

"(Y/N)!!!" Rias cried, running to her protector's side, holding him in her arms as he winced in pain. "I'm here. Please talk to me, are you alright?" Rias asked worriedly.

"Bastard...Fuckin' cheap shot!" (Y/N) snarled. "You'll pay...For that..." He gasped his last breath before his consciousness gave way and rendered him unconscious.

Riser only laughed at the display of events before him, simply shrugging his arms and smiling smugly. "To think that the Blades of Order and the Sacred Gear of the Azure Dragon Emperor were in the possession of someone so pathetic. Such an utter disgrace. What a tragedy for you my dear." He insulted, reviving many angered and spiteful looks from everyone in Rias's Peerage.

"Lord Riser, I do believe that was rather uncalled for." Grayfia protested in the defense of the unconscious devil.

"Yeah big brother, that's was a bit of a low blow." The pink dressed servant claimed.

"It seemed to me that he had already submitted, what was the point in attacking him?" The side-mask wearing servant questioned.

"Isabela, are you questioning Riser? Your MASTER?!" He barked, causing the mask donned servant to look away and bow her head.

"No. Please, forgive my sudden outburst Master." The brunette apologized.

Riser clicked his tongue in irritation and snapped his fingers. "Grab the injured." He ordered, some of his servants went over to their injured and unconscious fellow devils.

As Riser's servants collected their fallen comrades, Rias continued to look at her precious servant, laying in her arms silently and covered in bunmarks and blood. "...Grayfia...Tell my brother I agree to the Rating Game." Rias stated, holding her servant close.

Everyone in Rias's Peerage were shock by this sudden announcement, rendering them all speechless.

"I will inform him immediately." Said the maid.

"Riser...Believe me when I say we will annihilate you!!" Hissed the Crimson Haired Princess of Ruin.

"I look forward to it, dear." Riser smiled confidently to his forced fiancé. "Riser will see you at the game." He laughed, summoning a teleportation circle, erupting into it's brilliant blaze before disappearing.

"Yeah, that's right! You better run, Pee-nex breathe!" Issei hollered.

"Oh (Y/N)..." Rias mutterd, holding her servant tightly. "I'm so sorry."
