DXD OVERLORD

FIRST RATING GAME Location the Underworld, the Rating Stadium, Pocket Dimension: Forest Terrain

Now both Laharl and Riser's peerage, were transported to what is going to be the arena of their rating game. In a flash of white and light blue all these young devils were set into opposite ends of the terrain. With Laharl's peerage at the southwest edge, while Riser's peerage is in the northeast edge.

As Laharl and the girl inspected the area around them. They saw they were in some kind of underworld forest, judge for the shades of purple and blueish-purple around them. Luckily it wasn't a purely forest based terrain, but instead it has a lot open spaces and path from what they could see...then Laharl, he almost dropped his arm in exasperation, since he mentally commented, "Isn't this a bootlick copy of the Rating Game arena, between Rias and Riser but without Kuoh Academy..." he was starting to think that Sirzechs was a cheapskate. As Laharl was thinking this they heard their announcer, Serafall, who introduced herself, and explained not only her role but also the rules of this Rating Game. This a battle, when a member of either peerage sustains too much damage or surrenders, they'll be retired and teleported out of the arena. Fatalities are prohibited, along with bringing illegal items, not essential to the fighter or able to naturally produced. Only when either king is defeated or surrenders would this battle be done, and a winner announced!!! As Serafall said in high-pitched excited tone, as she officially starts the match.

Sighing, as he reached inside his hoodie to scratch his head, since for this battle he'd decided to fight with his hoodie on. Whatever, soon Risen will sent out his peerage to attack them, believing the miniscule number advantage...by one...would give him a edge over them. Laharl turned to his girls, and said, "Well we all know the plan. Let tear this prick apart!!" they cheered with him. As they split up, to search for their individual target. Since their plan was easy but very efficient strategy, they'll take on and eliminate their handpicked targets, while they left Riser exclusively for Laharl...

RUBY VS. ISABELA Location Nearby a Small River

Isabela was tracking one of the Laharl's peerage members. She managed followed a target into a nearby river, a open area, as the serious and devoted Rook of Riser. Sighed, getting into a boxer like stance and saying out loud, "I know your there. Your not exactly hiding your hunger for a fight well..." then she hears a feminine laughter, as her opponent emerged from behind a tree, from the other side of the river. Isabela, she recognized the blue-haired antennae girl. From what she can recall this is Laharl's Rook, Ruby Riotte.

Ruby looked at the orange-haired, green wearing bitch in front of her, and she hopes she can give her, somewhat of a challenge. As she responded to Isabela's previous statement, "Hey punk. For your information...(rising her sword off from her shoulder, and wielding it over her head)...I wasn't hiding my desire for a fight!!" swinging down her sword and sent a energy slash, soaring at a surprised Isabela. Who barely managed to weave out the way of Ruby's Wind Cutter technique. As their fight has started.

Ruby charged in, wielding her massive sword with ease one handedly. That's wasn't what surprises Isabela, as being a rook as well she'd expected such physical strength from her opponent. It was her speed!!. Getting into her stance, she waited the right moment to strike, once Ruby was in her guard in mid-swing of her huge sword, Isabela, she threw a heavy, right straight at Ruby bra wearing chest. But as her punch hits it's mark, Ruby wasn't affected and continued her attack. Seeing the danger, Isabela quickly kicked back from the ground, to evade, but she wasn't quick enough and a cut appeared on her jacket, undershirt and her belly, bleeding and stinging a bit from the cut.

Isabela, made a bit of distance from Ruby. A slight bit slower and she'd be a goner, and Riser-sama would have one last piece in play. She realized that her opponent, wasn't reckless it was that she was tough. If a solid blow, didn't do anything to her, she decided to deal multiple blows. Lowering her stance, Isabela, rushed in. As Serafall announced their duel, and many onlookers were at the edge of their sits, Ruby waited for Isabela to come closer.

Isabela again in her opponent guard, starts throwing quick jabs and crosses from various angles. Dealing dozens of punches, and then pulling back her right arm, channeling her demonic power she threw a powerful punch aimed at Ruby's face. Ruby smirks, as she smacks Isabela with the side of her sword, using it like a paddle of steel. Isabela grunted, as her ribs crack and she was blasted away. Rolling on the purple ground, she didn't expect such strength from Ruby. She means that she's been a rook for two years now, she was a tough devil in her own right, and right now she'd felt as she was hit by a semi-truck!!!

But it was over. Before Isabela could recover or stand back up to fight. Ruby realized that her opponent wasn't worth the effort, after suffering soo much from a playful tab from the only non-deadly part of her sword. She decided to finish her with a sword technique, that she hasn't used before. Channeling her demonic power and magic through her sword, she ready herself to unleash Infinite Graves.

Once some sparks of scarlet and crimson flew out her blade, she knew her technique was ready. And she tossed her sword up high, to much of already one's confusion. That's when Serafall gasped, and got everyone attention that Ruby has summoned a bunch of replicas of her sword around the still downed Isabela. Then Ruby rushed in picking up one of the sword and delivering a powerful energy slash at Isabela, making the poor orange-haired girl flip in the air, and while airborne, continued her assault. A vicious combination of slashes, ending after the ninth slash that Ruby launched barely conscious and bloody Isabela high into the air. Picking up the original sword that she caught in flight to Isabela, she deals one last slash causing a huge burst of energy!!!

As Serafall, she announced over the speakerphone, "Riser's rook retired!!" As Ruby lands back on the ground letting out a disappointing sigh. Saying out loud, "Man that sucked!! I should've insisted to Albedo that I'd fight that fried chicken's Queen. Whatever..." her job is done. Now to reunite with Laharl, so she wouldn't miss the upcoming beating of that Riser asshole.

KYOKO VS. KARLAMINE Location a Deep Wooden Area

With Ruby defeating Isabela the audience went wild. Witnessing the power that Ruby possess made her a instant famous in the devil community. Meanwhile the Riser Peerage felt the blow of losing Isabela, Riser and the others couldn't believe that she lost, and from the commentary given by Serafall, it was basically one sided against Isabela's favor. Isabela, ever since joining their peerage she's proven to be quite strong, rarely if even being retired in the matches she's been apart of. Riser was not yet done, as he believes that with his remaining pieces he'll take down that brat, Laharl, and if by some possibility they meet on the battleground, Riser was immortal he'll outlast and crush the brat surely!!!

Meanwhile, in a heavily wooden area. A knight armored blondish-brown devil girl was making her way through the area. Karlamine, she felt sad that Isabela was beaten but regardless they'll push on through and win for her and Riser!! With her double-edge European sword at the ready. As she was eager to show her prowess and abilities, that's when a couple of large, razor sharp shuriken soared out the shadows of the deeper parts of the woods. Thanks to her speed boost as a Knight piece and her swordsmanship, Karlamine managed to block some of the shuriken. But a couple still cut some part of her, only cause her armor was well made did she avoid grave damage.

Just as Karlamine, grabbed her sword in both hands and was ready to face whoever is her opponent, she'd failed to see a kunai, wrapped in a blue glowing rope, wrapped around her leg. As she suddenly felt a strong yank that tripped her, and then she was pulled and lifted up into the air. At the end of this magical rope was the spiky black-haired, ponytailed styled, pink colored ninja girl, who used her said ninja skills to ambush and capture her enemy. She is spun around Karlamine, as said knight-girl screamed, she spoke, "I am Kyoko Needleworker. Knight and proud lover of Laharl Krichevskoy Bael. And I'll be your opponent!!" with a strong swing, Kyoko smashed Karlamine hard against some trees, making the Knight of Riser, scream out in pain, sliding down onto the ground.

Kyoko retrieved her kunai and stread, as her Lily Elegy technique was very successful in catching her opponent unexpected and cause considerable amount of damage. Karlamine, grunted and used her sword to push herself back on her feet. As she was groaning angrily, and glared at Kyoko as she drew a pair of knives, Karlamine, she said to Kyoko, "Dishonorable bitch...(grunting in pain)...you call yourself a knight!? Using cheat tactics to fight. Your king must be ashamed of having a Knight like yourself." Kyoko look at her opponent with a serious expression in silence. This made Karlamine more angrier, getting back on her feet, and drawing a knife to dual wield her sword and knife, and channeling her magic to ignite both blades in fire. Karlamine, she charged forwards in great speed, with her arms and burning blades crossed to deliver a one-shot attack on her opponent.

As Karlamine closed in and deliver a burning cross "X" slash but not only Kyoko evaded her attack. Moving soo fast that she couldn't keep up with the kunoichi's movement. As Kyoko slashed her a couple times, followed-up with a strong dropkick to the chest. All the while their duel was being watched and cheered by all, even Belladonna was surprised by little Kyoko's abilities, as she was dominating the fight not only in speed but also power as well.

As their fight continued, Karlamine was growing more frustrated and sloopy. Since it was obvious that, this so called knight was much stronger and...faster, than her!! Her that has much more experience in battle, and duels. Then she felt another cut on her right thigh, making it harder to move. As Karlamine swung down her burning blades, straight at the infuriating ninja, she jumped away from her. As she was about to rush at Kyoko, she noticed to late that she could move, looking down she saw her legs sinking into some kind blackish liquid. No matter how much she struggled and swipe of this black ooze, she was stuck, turning to Kyoko who put away her knives, and crossed her arms under impressive bust.

Kyoko was ready to finish her opponent, as she planned and led her target into a deadly trap. As they fought, she was preparing a trap, slowing down and leading the knight-girl into position, and Karlamine fell for it. She channeled her demonic power carefully and subtlety, as Kyoko manipulated the shadows around their battleground, to create a huge pool of shadows underneath her target, Karlamine. As she then manipulated the shadows, and forming multiple hands of shadows to grab Karlamine. Karlamine, she doubles her struggle trying escape her opponent's technique. Kyoko held up her right hand with her two fingers, her index and middle fingers up, looking at her opponent unable to escape her.

Kyoko spoke to Karlamine, in a strong and serious sounding tone "Being capable and a pillar of support to my love, Laharl-sama. Is more important than pretending to a chivalrous knight." and in a single flick of her hand, the shadow hands crush and pull the targets into their dark doom. This is her Hell Drop technique, and she eliminated her target. As Lady Serafall, announced, "Riser's knight retired!!" Kyoko crossed her arms, and made her eye-smile, she'd won her match and began to ninja run away to meet up with Laharl-sama.

With the latest announcements of Serafall, Riser and his remaining pieces, Yubelluna, Ile, and Nel were starting to feel the pressure. Two of their peerage have been retired and both times from the commentary, were utter defeats in their path. Isabela, and now Karlamine were eliminated and the enemy has lost one single piece of their peerage. This was frustrating Riser, as his white coat and pants were ignites in some flames. He use magic communication to order his remaining pieces to double their efforts, and if they spotted him eliminate the bastard Laharl, who throughout the match hasn't shown himself, which was starting to irritate the Phenex heir. As the twins have just got Riser-sama's command, they spotted the open red jacket wearing, and massive sword wielding enemy King, Laharl Krichevskoy Bael, standing right in front of them...
