"And it's quite impressive to see Isane holding out in that Balance Breaker of hers for that long. The first time I remember going into Balance Breaker, I definitely didn't last that long. Only a minute or so at most before collapsing, I recall Sae telling me."

"Fair enough." Valian replied. "I lasted half an hour in my armour before conking out, the first time I got into it."

"Stop it, the two of you!" Palutena sighed, sounding slightly exasperated as her eyes were glued to the screen like they would be to Rex' ass, if he was here.

"You're not the average American citizen, so stop flexing on everyone!"

Everyone laughed.

Minutes earlier...

Isane flew into the air and attempted to fire a huge blast of demonic energy at Ravel, but she was forced to fly to the side and cancel the attack as Ravel flung a fireball in her direction. 

However, that didn't stop her from firing a Boosted shot of demonic energy at the fifth Phenex child, even if it missed.

"Everyone!" Kiba shouted, dashing out of the way of Ravel, moving behind her, and attempting to attack her with his Sword of Betrayer, but being blocked by a magic-circle shield. "Keep moving! Go in a circle!"

"R-Right!" Isane replied from her point in the air, using the thrusters on her back to fly in a wide circle around Ravel, not far enough away to not be able to attack her accurately, but far enough away for Ravel to not have very much of a chance of getting a devastatingly strong hit in on her.

Koneko, while on the ground, was running on the ground, and rolling out of the way of fireballs that, though small, were easily enough to melt the stone that she ran on. 

While she ran, she gathered blasts of Senjutsu up in her hands, and fired them at Ravel, who used magical shields to deflect the blasts, or stop them entirely.

"Hah... ha... ha..." Koneko panted, as she ran. "I'm not sure I can take much more of this!"

"Just keep going, Koneko!" Kiba shouted, creating an ice-sword to freeze the fireball that Ravel shot down at him, and switching to his usual sword. 

Spreading his Devil wings, he flew up at speed and slashed at Ravel, cutting her arm and leg off with two fast slashes. However, once he landed on the ground, they had already returned to Ravel's body in a flash of fire.

"You idiot pretty-boy!" Ravel shouted condescendingly down at the three peerage members. "Our Flaming Regeneration has won our Clan many a-Rating Game, and my brother will easily win this one as well!"

"Yeah, keep talking, you burnt seagull!" Isane shouted, firing another demonic shot at Ravel, which hit her so hard in the shoulder that it blew her arm off. However, it regenerated in an instant, as Isane's power kept Boosting.

"Excuse me?!" Ravel shouted back at Isane, creating another fireball, and flinging it at Isane, though it did very little to damage her armour. "Who are you to call me something like that?! It's Ravel Phenex to you!"

"More like Ravel Sucks Dicks!" Isane yelled back, as Kiba made to recreate his Sword of Betrayer. However, something happened that stopped that particular occurance from happening. That something happened to be Koneko disappearing... and Rias appearing in her place!

Seconds later, they heard the fateful announcement from Grayfia.

"One of Lady Rias' Rooks has been retired."

"Rias!" Kiba rushed over to Rias. "What happened?

"Castling." Rias replied. "I just switched places with Koneko, to get out of the way of an attack from Riser." She sighed, as Ravel tried to fire a fireball down at her, but got interupted by Isane. "I don't feel good about it."

"It's alright, Rias." Kiba helped Rias up. "You're not going to give up, are you?"

"Never!" Rias stood up herself, and let a crimson-coloured killing intent ooze from her body. "Let's blow our opponents away!"

"Fuck yeah!" Kiba and Isane both shouted, as Kiba finshed on the Sword of Betrayer, spread his wings, and swung at Ravel. However, his swing was blocked, while Rias flew above Ravel and fired upon her with her Power of Destruction, blowing up her head.

For the one second that Ravel remained headless, her body fell through the air towards the ground. However, when her head regenerated, she caught herself on her fiery wings, and flew back up into the air.

"Okay, now I'm mad!" Ravel flew upwards towards Rias. "Come on, Rias! I'll defeat you myself- AAAGH!"

Ravel had created a huge fireball, and intended fully to send it towards Rias, but she was distracted by Kiba flying up underneath her, and slashing at her legs, cutting off Ravel's leg... which did not regenerate.

"Now, Rias!" Kiba shouted, as he faced down Ravel, who turned around in mid-air, and tried to attack Kiba.

Rias fired a powerful blast of Power of Destruction at Ravel, which impacted her in the back, and instantly forced her to retire, in a haze of blue light.

"One of Lord Riser's Bishops has been Retired." Grayfia spoke. "Lord Riser has no peerage members left, compared to Lady Rias' four."

"Mirajane!" Rias called to her Queen, who, for the past minute or so, had had to hold off and fend for herself against Riser in her Ala form. Almost instantly, Mirajane dodged another fireball from Riser, and flew over to Rias, panting hard.

"You okay?" Mirajane, who had numerous burns and scars on her face, asked, pulling out the vial of Phoenix Tears. "You want these?"

"No, you take them, Mira." Rias replied, snapping her fingers and letting a calm, green aura overcome her. "I can... heal myself."

"Ha!" Riser flew over to Rias and her peerage, and floated before them. 

"Do it! Heal yourselves to the best of your ability! Though my little sister was a total weakling who got retired by you from total fluke, you can never hope to compare to my immortal strength and demonic flames!"

"We'll see about that, Riser!" Rias shouted, as Mirajane drank the Phoenix Tears and she finished healing herself. "Come on, everyone!" She shouted, flying forward. "It's time to end this!"
