Completely on the offensive

While Akeno was spreading the word of God to Riser, Koneko and Gasper were making their way over. Both having arrived at the soccer field as a blonde blur rocketed into the dirt and grass near them. Koneko prepared to fight while Gasper jumped and hid behind her.

"Ugh.. That hurts! That bitch.." Ravel picked herself up with a grimace, noticing the two.

"Whatever.. Brother can handle her-" Ravel said, interrupted by a heavy punch to the face that sent her flying into the soccer field's goal post, courtesy of Koneko.

"Koneko.. I think you interrupted her monologue." Gasper muttered.

"Oh." Was her only reply before hearing an angry yell, followed by flying fireballs sent her way.

All of which Koneko had dodged away from while watching Gasper. Though Gasper only shieked and ran away from the flaming attacks, Koneko nodded in approval before turning her attention to the angry Ravel.

"You PUNCHED ME! In the face!" Ravel fumed, two balls of fire in her hands.

Koneko's head tilted in confusion.

"Yes?" Koneko replied casually, ducking a flaming fist and punching Ravel in the chin.

Ravel's head snapped back from the violent counterattack, her body lifted by the force of Koneko's punch. Then Koneko continued. With a quick hop up, she kicked Ravel in the stomach, carrying her further up in the air before using Gasper as a platform to hop again and land yet another punch to Ravel's face, driving her back into the dirt.

"Ah! Koneko you got dirt on my head.." Gasper sulked as he watched Koneko land with a nice pose.

"Sorry. I can't double jump, Gaspy." Koneko shrugged, ignoring the groan of pain from her adversary.

"Was that the combo Akeno senpai taught you? Hers looks different." Gasper asked, watching Ravel heal and stand up.

"Mine is only three hits. Hers is ten. I call it 'Koneko Barrage'" Koneko answered with a small nod.

"Agh..! Siris? Karlamine? Mihae? Is anyone able to come to the soccer field? I'm in trouble here!" Ravel shouted into the earpiece microphone in her ear.

"Lord Riser Phenex's Knights, Pawns, Rooks and Bishop have retired." Grayfia interrupted her plea for help.

Ravel immediately felt a chill run down her spine at the announcement. All of their forces but her and her brother had been wiped out. Ravel backed away, feeling a lump in her throat at the realization they would very likely lose the game.

"They finished. Time to finish here and meet our King." Koneko spoke in a more serious tone, cracking her knuckles.

"Right! I'll freeze her so you can take her out." Gasper nodded to himself determinedly.

"W-Wait.. but how..?" Ravel stumbled back.

"We trained." Koneko answered before Gasper froze Ravel while she tried to take flight.

Koneko's cat ears and tail emerged as she jumped up over five meters in the air. To add flare to the incoming injury, she spun herself before extending her leg and dropping it onto Ravel's back, delivering a powerful axe kick that would have shattered her spine if Ravel hadn't been teleported away just in time.

"Lord Riser Phenex's Bishop has retired." Grayfia announced once more.

Koneko dusted herself off after the announcement and shared a look with Gasper.

"Let's meet them inside. I bet Kiba did most of the work." Koneko said before running back into the building with Gasper.

Once arriving at the nearest stairway, they were met by Issei and Kiba. Kiba looked unscathed but Issei had bruises, welts and cuts all over him. Though his spirit was higher than it was when they first arrived.

Koneko sent Kiba an inquisitive glance, silently asking what happened.

"Ah hello, you two. Unfortunately, it seems Riser sent the majority of his forces our way. Though I guess he might have been planning to have his queen bomb us from the sky. Didn't really work well because.." Kiba trailed off.

""Akeno"" Koneko and Kiba answered at once.

"For us, we started off with his pawns in a single hallway. The nekomata and the twins with chainsaws. All was going well until..." Kiba glanced at Issei.

"I.. kinda used dress break on accident? It was really an accident though, I swear! I wanted to use Dragon Shot! But it just ended up.." Issei had the decency to look away from Koneko's accusing glare.

"Yes. I was then attacked by the rooks, knights and bishop. Issei again though..." Kiba sighed.

"OKAY! I USED DRESS BREAK AGAIN! I got ganged up on! But the view was to die for! I think it was a fair trade in the end. Kiba luckily cut them all down with his exploding sword." Issei pumped his fist.

"Absolute scum. Remorseless pervert.." Koneko muttered as she walked up the stairs.

"...Yeah, that's fair." Issei admitted with a sigh as they made their way up to the roof.

Upon entering the roof area, they witnessed Akeno straddling a busty blonde woman with shredded clothes. A mocking expression on her face as the girl tried her hardest to muster any flames, to no avail.

"Uh.. who is that? I thought you were fighting Riser?" Kiba asked, having the decency to look away while Issei drank in the sight of the blonde's heaving chest.

"Oh, this is Riser..ette? Name's a work in progress. I thought 'Well the confrontation will be boring so why not bring some entertaining toys'?" Akeno answered with a smile.

"Eh..?"

-Minutes prior-

Another kick in the groin after ducking a wave of flame. Her speed, power, skill and battle experience far outstripping his. Riser was trying his damnest to hit Akeno, only to recieve pain and humiliation in return.

"STOP THIS!!" Riser roared, clapping his hands together and bathing the roof in fire.

Akeno simply jumped up high and made sure to land heels first on his face, angering him further.

"I expected... more. Rias spoke of you so hatefully for years. And this is it? I expected a fight for honor, love, marriage. But what I got was an idiot that can barely utilize his body's power and bloodline. I'm insulted. This is a Phoenix?" Akeno asked while slamming the bible's hard spine into his open mouth and punching his jaw nearly off his face.

Painful tears welled up in Riser's eyes as he pried the bible's torn pages out his mouth. Nearly retching at the pain, he pulled out a vial and healed the injury that had been afflicted to his jaw.

"How.. you're a Devil.. are you not? How can you even wear that, let alone touch a bible!?" Riser asked, blocking a kick aimed at his head with his two arms, both fracturing on impact.

"Did I ever say I was a Devil?" Akeno asked with a smirk.

"You're in a peerage!" Riser hisssd as his arms regenerated.

"Yes, I am. I don't feel like telling you the specifics though." Akeno responded as she walked towards him again.

"I'll.... I'll-" Riser backed up, fire gathered in his hands.

"You know.. This rating game isn't televised, right? Anything I say stays with the people invited. And if you're thinking of exposing my 'non- devilhood' to the rest of the Underworld using your family? Think again. I have friends they are very interested in establishing a mutual partnership with. The Phenex family's greatest sin is Greed. They're not gonna burn that bridge because their arrogant son wanted petty revenge." Akeno said, before her lightning clad fist clashed with Riser's flaming fist.

The resulting clash ending in Riser missing an arm and smashed into the roof while Akeno stood over him. Akeno sighed in dissapointment as Riser began to regenerate. Before he could get back up though, her boot smashed into his face, knocking his teeth out and breaking his jaw.

"You know.. I was going to have Rias do all this. Give her the motivation to train and get strong. She has the potential to be as strong as Sirzechs, but she's not as driven as he was. I understand it though. Time of 'peace' after all. Sirzechs became strong because he needed to be. Rias is different. Her Dad wanted her to either carry on the Gremory name or push her to train more and become as powerful as Sirzechs." Akeno started to explain while dodging blasts of fire.

"But she's more motivated by love, responsibility and family. Each of our members has their issues. Not particularily easy ones either. Fortunately, she has me." Akeno continued, driving her knee into Riser's face before tossing him to the ground and driving her heel into his face, disfiguring it.

"Why am I telling you this? One, because this is quickly becoming boring for me. Two, for you to understand your place in all this. If you weren't a womanizing, sleezy shithead, I would have already knocked you out. But you irritated me. Trying to take what's mine for one. I'm also incredibly offended~" Akeno smiled before hitting Riser with several lightning strikes channeled through her foot, hitting him in the face.

Riser's regeneration began to slow, though through it all, he never lost his furious expression. Though over time, fear began to creep its way in. She was manhandling him. Like a misbehaving child. Or as Akeno would say, 'Beating him like he was her red-headed stepson'. Riser tried to tactically retreat by flying off the roof, only to have his leg grabbed, mid jump and slammed back into the metal railing.

"Now now~ No running off when I'm talking. As I was saying. I'm offended you have the nerve to call yourself 'Phenex'. The legendary immortal bird of myth.. this?" Akeno remarked, snapping his leg the wrong way and relishing in his yells of pain.

"Aaaaagh!! Why!? Why are you so-" Riser's leg slowly healed but his words were cut off when Akeno pulled some sort of Raygun looking tool out and put the barrel in his mouth.

~I honestly expected more from the Phenex. The power my first Dad possessed had to have been stronger than this. Although.. His regeneration is impressive. For attacks that don't deal holy or conceptual damage, that is~ Akeno hummed in thought while watching Riser's face contort in fear at the unknown device she jammed in his mouth.

"Strong? Hot? Well developed? Charming? You don't really need the answers to those questions. What you need to do is feel the loss. Loss of what, you might ask? Well..~" Akeno smiled at his expression before squeezing the trigger, watching his body light up before he turned into a woman.

Akeno sat on her stomach and smiled as the members of the ORC ran up to the roof. Riser's eyes widened as she felt two large mounds on her chest. And one particularly empty feeling coming from her groin. A sense of terrible loss hit her as she looked at her now fair and slender hands. Her teeth gnashed in anger as she tried to summon her flames once again. Though they appeared, they were little more than campfire sized flames that could hardly do anything, even to a middle classed Devil.

"Uh.. who is that? I thought you were fighting Riser?" Kiba asked, having the decency to look away while Issei drank in the sight of the blonde's heaving chest.

"Oh, this is Riser..ette? Name's a work in progress. I thought 'Well the confrontation will be boring so why not bring some entertaining toys'?" Akeno answered with a smile.

"Yes! Akeno-sama! Thank you for this gift..!" Issei bowed at a ninety degree angle before ogling Riserette's bare chest.

"S-Stop looking at me..!" Riserette dropped her eccentric speech and tried to hit Akeno, only to have her wrists pinned down, face to face with the Fallen.

"Now.. Here's two ways this can end. I can call Issei over to drink in this amazing view until he gets 'handsy', I can beat you to unconsciousness.. or you can quit now. I'd hurry. I'm starting to feel a bit handsy myself~" Akeno whispered, trailing her finger down Riserette's reddening face.

"I-I GIVE UP!"
