Chapter 79: Black Dragon Emperor Part 9
FINAL CLASH BETWEEN KINGS Location the Underworld, Underworld, the Capital City of Lilith; Rating Stadium, Pocket Dimension: Castle Terrain, Damaged Open Plain
Sairaorg, he was back to keep fighting against his cousin Laharl. Both heir of the Bael House, were utterly beaten, and quite honestly exhausted. But neither of them was ready to call it quit. Sairaorg tighten his fists and Laharl lowered his buster sword, as the two charged at the other. In a burst of speed. They clashed blade and fist, causing a shockwave upon impact. Stuck in a deathlock, pushing the other with excited smirk on their face, eager to keep fighting the other. Laharl and Sairaorg broke the deathlock. And they attack again. Sairaorg throwing a powerful right cross, while Laharl swung a left cross-slash. Each connecting their attacks, Sairaorg punched Laharl in the face, and Laharl slash, cutting deeply into the chest of cousin. Blood gushed out, and the lion-head chestplate was cut. But neither of them, refuse to back down, as they both started throwing attacks at the other. Full offense with absolutely no blocking. Which was a big mistake for Sairaorg, every slash that Laharl landed was not only very, very painful to him and Regulus, but it was making him weaker, and Laharl stronger. So the first punch that Sairaorg connected to Laharl, was way stronger then the thirty-six punch he'd landed later.
Sairaorg, he was obviously noticing that he'd needed to channel more and more touki, to cause some damage to his cousin. So he tackled him on his belly. Making Laharl grunt in pain, as the air was knocked out of him. He was lifted up, by Sairaorg and slammed onto the ground. The Lion King started pummeling away at Laharl. But Laharl, he countered his cousin. He extended his chain, and using his scarf he wrapped both around Sairaorg, restraining him, and said, "Take this!!" pulling both chain and scarf, that in turn pulled down Sairaorg, for a vicious headbutt. This rattled both of them. As Sairaorg stepped back and allowed Laharl to stand back on his feet, groaning as he thought, "Damn!! What the hell is Sairaorg's head made!?" still having his scarf and chain wrapped around Sairaorg, and he used them against Sairaorg. Paying back, Sairaorg from the power slam that he'd did on him. Lifting up Sairaorg over his head and smashing him onto the ground hard. Releasing Sairaorg, Laharl started slashing away at Sairaorg. He then delivered a powerful stomach high, slash hitting Sairaorg on the left rib area, causing him great amount of damage, including cracking the armor. Sairaorg, he spat blood out, and was thrown across the field.
Now with a opportunity to further cause damage to Sairaorg. Laharl, he channeled demonic dark energy throught his hands. Clapping his hands together, as he started to spreading his arms open. Forming a massive electric ball of demonic dark energy, creating his Dark Reaver. Lifting over his head, and throwing the Dark Reaver at Sairaorg. Who saw the incoming massive ball of destruction, heading towards him. He didn't dodge or block, channeling a large amount of touki and punching the Dark Reaver. Causing a huge explosion, damaging the entire area.
LAST STAND OF A PROUD LION Location the Destroyed Plain
All view was obstructed by the audience, and the girls of Laharl. Laharl was in his usual fighting stance, as Sairaorg was looking like Hell. His last reckless action, cost him more than he'd originally imagined. His once gleaming, and impressive golden, lion armor was almost completely destroyed. He was covered in burns and bleeding wounds, it was clear for everyone watching that anymore would end in Sairaorg getting killed. Even Sairaorg's peerage in the medical wing of the Rating Stadium, watching the match, were incredibly worried. Sairaorg, arm was obviously badly injured, only staying in a straight position cause of Sairaorg's will. Then he started making groaning sounds, as his body wanted to quit, but his pride and will didn't listen. To everyone shock, Sairaorg, he started walking forward to Laharl. Serafall commentating that his will to fight was amazing, utterly incredible. Laharl, along with many others agreed with the Satan's statement. All watching were silent observing a real king, fight on. Many nay sayers, were silenced by Sairaorg's will and power. Laharl, he knows that anymore and he'll kill Sairaorg, and quite possibly Regulus who's sharing more than just a soul at the moment. He sighed, as he rested his Vritra Zanbato Shenron over his right shoulder, and lowering his head slightly, covering his face from everyone.
Everyone was afraid that Laharl would go to far. Rias and Towa were trying to stop this, and tried to make Sirzechs teleport Sairaorg away. But Sesshomaru stopped them, saying, "That man is a noble warrior. He wishes to keep fighting, regardless of the cost. Laharl he knows this. Do you want to shame him, by stopping this match. (he'd looked at both girls, seeing their sadness and said) Honor him. Not with tears, but admiration, let's watch this end to this match." Sirzechs, Grayfia, Arella, and Tsurara being the most mature and understanding of this, agreed. Plus unless Sairaorg is knocked out, or too injured, or unavailable to keep fighting. Sirzechs and Serafall can't interfere, as both Bael heirs were standing face to face of one another. Misla with her sister-in-law, Belladonna, who were watching from Belladonna's secluded manor. Misla, she was worried. She'd understood the spirit and pride within both her son and nephew...but she didn't want to see her only son die.
Belladonna, she place a hand over Misla's shoulder. And told her to have faith and pride on her son. Regardless on what happens, he was finally being acknowledged by his peers. As Misla wiped her tears, and sniffles, she was the mother of the Lion King, the unquestionable heir of the Bael House main branch. She'll support him regardless on what happens, Belladonna smiled slightly, as some prinnies came in with tea. They watched as Sairaorg used his still functional arm, to throw another punch at Laharl. Laharl, watched the weak, and slow punch heading towards him and he parried the attack. Knocking away Sairaorg's fist, as he said to his cousin, "Stubborn aren't you Sairaorg, you'd prove that your a king worthy of respect. And a damn great rival, stand proud and sorry about this." Laharl grabbed Sairaorg's head. Using enough force, he'd smashed the pommel of his buster sword, onto the temple of Sairaorg face. Some blood gushed out the impact area, as Sairaorg body went limp. But Laharl he didn't let Sairaorg fall, using his arm to catch Sairaorg. Helping his cousin stay on his feet, with dignity. As Serafall, she announced, "Match over!! King eliminated!!! The winner of this Rating Game, and the now undisputed, Undefeated King of the Rating Games!!! Laharl Krichevskoy Bael!!!" the crowd went absolutely crazy, cheering not only for Laharl but Sairaorg as well!! As Regulus separated from Sairaorg, appearing in his human form, helping Laharl carry Sairaorg, as he smirked and said to Laharl, "Great match, but we'll win next time." Laharl laughed, as he replied to the Nemea Lion, "Tell Sairaorg anytime..." bringing this epic match to a end, and everyone that remained on the terrain, were all teleported away.
BIG CELEBRATION Location the Bael Territory: Belladonna's Mansion, Dance Hall
The match was over, Laharl and his peerage won. After some days of rest, both groups were able to recover from everything that happened in the previous match. Laharl, he checked his charge and he'd gained from the match, [3Y 1M 34D] three whole years. Quite the gain. As for the free level-up in stats, they'd all choose to level-up their strengths. Making them much more stronger, it was a drastic boost to them all. Now that their all back to full-strength, Laharl and his girls decided that it was fitting to have a big celebration for their win. The prinnies were sure excited, any excuse to drink and party is alright for them all. Belladonna, she was also all up for a celebration, especially since Misla can join. Which Laharl welcomed, but the other guests of honor are definitely Sairaorg and his peerage. A decision that all agreed with. Plus Rias...who like always butted in, was eager to invited everyone else. Knowing nothing they'll say to the girl would make any difference, they'd let her do as she wanted. As Laharl, his mom and Marron instructed the prinnies and the maid to get things ready for the party later in the night.
Albedo, she took charge of contacting Kuisha, Sairaorg's Queen, and invited her along with her fellow peerage members to the party. She was a bit reluctant, until Sairaorg picked up the call, and said they'll be there. Albedo, she was glad that they'll be attending. Aside from Sona and her peerage, Sairaorg's peerage was amongst the few she'd consider as friends. The prinnies and other servents of the mansion, were hard at work preparing things for the party, Kyoko, Albedo, and Nero went to the kitchen to help the chef prepare a lot of food. Belladonna, she'd provided the alcohol, while Cerberus and Ruby took charge of the non-alcoholic drinks. Setsuna, Daki, Mizore, Kneesocks, Towa Scanty, and Raven helped with the stereo system and setting up some decorations with the rest of the servents. Tsurara and Rin took to help Laharl's mom in last minute preparations, Sesshomaru just watched with Fuubuki quietly standing beside him. Arella, she just rested, seeing as it wasn't much she'd could help with...meanwhile, Rias she was just backing orders on the decorations and other preparations. While Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko were being helpful, Rias just wanted to take over things. Prinnies, nekomatas, and other servents at this point ignored the Gremory heiress.
Later in the day. As the dance hall was fully decorated. Light flashing, food ready, and a vast assortment of drinks. With Fall Out Boys' song Dance, Dance playing, already Rias, Akeno, Ruby, Kneesocks, Scanty, Kyoko, Nero, Mizore, and other teen devils were on the dance floor. Laharl included dancing with his girls. As Sona, Tsubaki, Tsubasa, Reya, Tomoe, Ruruko, Murayama, and Katase have arrived, accompanied by Serafall, and both Lord and Lady Sitri. Kiba's girls joined him in partying and dancing with him. Sona join Laharl and his girls in dancing, as the next song was playing, Lionel Richie, "Dancing on the Ceiling" which Belladonna was really liking this song. She and all the adults were off at the side, with Misla standing with them. As they watched over the teens, enjoy themselves. While she'd found it amusing that Sesshomaru, Setsuna's father, was being watchful over Rin. Not letting the lovely young mother, drink much wine or sake. It reminded her a bit on how Krichevskoy acted when he was worried about her, making her smile as she sipped her wine. Soon other guests started to arrive.
Sirzechs and Grayfia who immediately went over to the adults. Sirzechs, he greeted his aunt, and was surprised to see aunt Misla fine. Standing there awake and well, a sentiment shaded by Grayfia. Belladonna, she signed as she'll have to explain this situation, and the importance of keeping Misla condition a secret... Sairaorg and his peerage were the last to arrive, as the song that was playing was Loggins and Messina, Your Mama Don't Dance. Sairaorg, started nodding to the song, as Regulus went over to the food area. Balam, Ladora, and Beluga went over to the alcohol table, with Coriana excusing herself and joining the three other to get some drinks. Liban went his own way, while Sairaorg and Kuisha were greeted by Laharl holding a couple of beers in his hand. Laharl, he was happy to see Sairaorg, and offering a beer which Sairaorg, he'd looked over. Before he'd shrugged and took a swing. Enjoying the taste, as Laharl guided them to the food table were Regulus, along with now Ruby, and Setsuna were standing by and eating. They got closer as cousins, just like Sairaorg did when he fought and lost to Issei. Sairaorg, he was really impressed with his cousin's strength, and swore that he'll win next time. Promising that if anyone that will break his win streak, it'll be him. Laharl, he laughed as he passed his cousin another beer, and replied, "In your dreams. By the time of our rematch, me and my girls will be stronger yet. And quite possibly with a bigger peerage...(taking a drink, and eating some doritos, before continue to speak)...do you still, think you'll have a chance?" Sairaorg laughed and welcomed the challenge. Making Kuisha shake her head, as Kyoko came and gave her some white wine, which she'd greatly appreciated. Kyoko, she stood by Laharl, as they continue to talk. The party was only starting, but the respect and bond between Laharl and Sairaorg has grown. As they'd all enjoyed themselves to the absolute limits, eating, drinking, dancing and more. Sairaorg, even got a bit drunk, and kissed Kuisha. Making all the teen devils, and a couple of mothers, excited. Since Laharl, thought that it was about time, he and Kuisha got together...yeah it was a wild, and good night.
