Chapter 3: Dealing with a Peerage
(At Union Academy, some students are glad Galactron was defeated while others were pissed by seeing someone stealing their spotlight, someone they knew, someone they hated. The headmasters gave them an order to not try to mess with Anthony for a while, but a certain redhead has something in her mind.)
Rias: (in mind) There's only one way to stop Anthony... and I'll make sure to use it.
(Meanwhile at Anthony's house, he is seen eating with Beelzebub while Ninten is playing games with one of his girlfriends D.Va. Suddenly Lucifer comes in.)
Anthony: What's up?
Lucifer: Some fake devils are trying to break the barrier of our house.
Anthony: Describe them.
Lucifer: They're wearing some highschool uniforms, and a certain readhead is leading them.
(Anthony realizes who they are. Then he turns to Ninten.)
Anthony: Ninten, we've got company.
(Anthony leaves the mansion as he Lucifer realizes what her lover is about to do, and deactivates the barrier.)
(Outside Anthony's house, Rias is seen with her peerage as they see Anthony walking towards them along with Ninten.)
Rias: (smiles) Hello there, Anthony,
Anthony: (coldly) Hello, Rias.
Ninten: (in mind) More Fake Heroes to deal with...
Rias: I'm here to make you an offer you can't refuse, I want you to join my peerage as my pawn.
Anthony: (frowns) No thanks, I'm not interested.
Kiba: Geez...
(Rias looked surprised and annoyed by his rejection. She was not used to being turned down by anyone, especially by someone like him.)
Rias: Don't be foolish, Anthony. You have no idea what you're missing out on. By becoming my pawn, you will gain access to the vast resources and connections of the Gremory clan. You will also be able to increase your power and abilities by learning from me and my peerage. You will also have the honor of serving me, the most beautiful and noble Devil in existence.
Anthony: (snorts) I don't need any of that, I have everything I need right here.
Koneko: It's no use, buchou. He won't join us.
(Rias narrowed her eyes at him. She felt insulted and challenged by his attitude.)
Rias: Is that so? Then how about this? (seductively) If you join my peerage, I will also let you have me as your lover.
(Anthony looked at her with disgust and contempt. He was not shy or inexperienced. He was just selective and loyal. He had dated some girls, and they were even more beautiful and noble than Rias. He had also experienced romance and sex with them, some of whom were even more passionate and skilled than Rias. He also had a crush on Rena Linchen, his best friend, his confidant.She was the one of the few one who understood him, who supported him, who cared for him. He wished he could tell her how he felt about her, but he knew it was too late. He had left her behind when he decided to leave Union Academy, the prestigious school for the gifted and the elite that they both attended. He couldn't stand it anymore: the injustice, the cruelty, the oppression that the powerful inflicted on the powerless; the hypocrisy, the corruption, the lies that the administration and the teachers perpetuated; the apathy, the fear, the silence that the students displayed. He had tried to make a difference, to stand up for what was right, to protect those who needed it. But he was outnumbered, outmatched, and outcast. He had left her a letter, thanking her for their friendship, for their loyalty, for their love. He had apologized for leaving her behind, for causing her trouble, for breaking her heart. He had expressed his hopes for her future, for her happiness, for her freedom.)
Anthony: Get lost. You're not my type.
Issei: (angry) Hey, don't talk to President like that you...
Anthony: Weakling? Is that what you're about to say? You're nothing but a dog. No, a toothless worm masquerading as a dragon!
(Rias gasped. She felt humiliated and enraged by his rejection. She had never been rejected by anyone, especially not by someone like him.)
Rias: How dare you? You have no idea what you're passing up on! You're making a huge mistake!
Anthony: No, (points at Rias) YOU are. You're making a huge mistake by bothering me. Now leave me alone.
Akeno: Ara, ara... someone needs to be punished.
Rias: I'm sorry, Anthony, but I can't do that. You see, I'm not used to taking no for an answer. And I always get what I want. So I'm afraid I have to force you to join my peerage.
(Rias snaps her fingers, and Akeno, Gasper, Koneko, Kiba and Issei get in their fighting stances as they look at Anthony with hostility and determination. They were loyal to Rias and would do anything for her. Anthony looked at them with pity and disdain. They were pathetic and deluded. They were slaves to Rias and would do anything she said. He didn't want to fight them, but he didn't have a choice. Anthony then summons the Blades of Chaos and prepares to defend himself while Ninten uses his quirk and transforms into Mega Man.)
Anthony: Bring it on!

(The first one to attack was Issei, who charged at Anthony with his Boosted Gear, a red gauntlet that covered his left arm. He activated its ability.)
Issei: BOOST!
(His gauntlet glowed and emitted a dragon-like roar. He threw a punch at Anthony, hoping to knock him out with one hit. Anthony dodged the punch easily and countered with a kick to Issei's stomach, sending him flying back.)
Anthony: Is that all you've got? You're weak.
(Issei got up and glared at Anthony. He activated his gauntlet again.)
Issei: BOOST! BOOST!
(He ran at Anthony again, throwing another punch. Anthony blocks the punch with his blades of chaos, and notices that Issei's power had increased significantly.)
Anthony: Not bad, but not good enough!
(Anthony slices Issei's arm and grabs his neck, lifting him off the ground.)
Issei: (chokes) Let go of me!
(Anthony smiles as he breaks his neck and rips off his head.)
Anthony: One down.
(The others were shocked by Anthony's brutality. They didn't expect him to kill Issei so easily and mercilessly. They felt fear and anger. Akeno unleashed a barrage of lightning bolts at Anthony, hoping to electrocute him. Anthony uses the Golden Fleece and reflects the lightning bolts as they hit Akeno instead. She screams in pain and falls to the ground, twitching and smoking.)
Anthony: Two down.
(Kiba summoned several swords and threw them at Anthony, hoping to impale him. He deflects them with his Blades of Chaos, and then he slices him into pieces.)
Anthony: Three down.
(Xenovia draws her Durendal and charges at Ninten, who then uses another of Mega Man's powers.)
Ninten (Mega Man): Flame Sword!
(Ninten counters Xenovia's attack in a "Jetstream Sam Style", slicing off her arm, and then he throws a Metal Blade, beheading her.)
(Back to Anthony, Koneko leaps at him, hoping to crush him with her strength. He catches her in mid-air and slams her like Hulk slammed Loki, and then he stomps on her chest.)
Anthony: Four down.
(Gasper stared at Anthony, hoping to stop him with his time-stopping ability. But he pulls out Medusa's head, and it petrifies Vladi as he then crushes him.)
Anthony: Five down.
Ninten (Mega Man): Nope, six down.
(Asia gets frightened by seeing such brutality, and runs away in panic as Ninten smirks.)
Ninten: It looks like only one of them remains.
Anthony: Yeah, it seems so.
(She was terrified and furious by Anthony's slaughter of her peerage. She had never seen anyone so powerful and ruthless. She hated him more than ever. She wanted to kill him more than ever. She gathered all her magic power and unleashed it at Anthony, hoping to obliterate him and Ninten with her Power of Destruction, a crimson energy that could destroy anything it touched. But then Anthony extends his Blades of Chaos, and they stab Rias before he pulls her close to him. She felt nothing but pain and despair. She looked at Anthony with hatred and fear. She saw him smiling cruelly at her.)
Anthony: Checkmate!
(Anthony then grabs her neck and rips her head off, finishing her off.)
Anthony: (sighs) We'll need to find a new place to call home. We're vulnerable here.
Ninten (Mega Man): I know someone who can provide us a new home.
(Then they return to the house as they pack their stuff and prepare to leave as the screen fades out.)
