When last we left off, Grayfia had assigned ten days for Rias' Peerage to train. And who trained them in those days? Of course the most powerful being in said universe at the time.

Ryu: MOVE BITCHES!!!

Ryu was currently shooting Crescent Nightshade at all of them as they ran away WHILE Coco was throwing light spears at them riding Camelot.

Issei: YOU PSYCHOPATH!!!

Coco was currently trying to remember what happened in the time they met at Beacon to make Ryu so much more chaotic.

Coco: 'Was it the fall? I mean granted apparently his sister died in front of his eyes. That could make a guy be a little more prone to violence. Then again I'm legit throwing deadly weapons too so~.'

Rias: I-I wanna say this is just pointless but-

Rias dodged a light spear headed at her head.

Rias: WATCH IT!!

Akeno: But this is the 3rd day in and we all have seen major results!

Asia was on Camelot looking at Coco.

Asia: Are you sure this is ok?

Camelot: They'll be fine child.

Ryu: Alright, LET'S MOVE TO PHASE TWO!!

Ryu whistled into the distance as not only did Tina appear but another giant doggo appeared.

GRAY "BEST DOGGO" KAIZEN!!

Ryu: Thanks for coming in Cyborg form boy.

Gray: *BARK*!!

Ryu: Just chase em around for a bit you two.

The two cyborg wolves did as they were all chased around for another 10 minutes.

Ryu: Ok, you're good.

They were all exhausted as Tina and Gray shrunk down but Gray seemed to change.

Koneko: What just happened?

Ryu: This is Gray in his true form. My wolf dog.

Rias: ... Of course.

Gray turned and jumped on Ryu licking him on the cheek making him laugh.

Ryu: Haha! Down boy down!

Koneko: ... I will never understand Ryu.

TIME SKIP!!

It was the final day as Ryu and Coco were standing in front of the ORC.

Ryu: Alright, this is gonna be the last training session we have. All of you need to fight one on one. Weather you're ready or not is up to me and Coco. Aside from you Asuma you're fine. Goldilocks, you're up first.

Ryu stood in place as Kiba walked up to him.

Coco: I'll take this one.

Ryu: All you.

Coco: Don't hold back, fight me with the intent to kill.

Kiba: You asked for it.

In a burst of speed Kiba appeared behind coco with his sword ready to kill. Shockingly enough she reacted to his speed and blocked his sword with her purse.

Kiba: The heck?

Koneko: With her purse?

Coco: Don't take this lightly just because it's a purse. Everything has another side to it.

She smirked before swinging the purse up as it turned into a mini gun as she started shooting bullets at Kiba who was speeding around to avoiding them.

Kiba: WHAT THE?!!

Ryu: DUCK!!

Ryu jumped as the Devils had gone under Coco's spray of bullets.

Ryu: Damnit Coco did you not learn from that Team CEMA incident?!

Coco remembered how she and her partner had lost in the tournament before deadpanning and stopping.

Coco: That was just wrong Shadow.

Kiba saw the small opening there was and took it leaping forward to Coco ready to attack. Coco seeing this smiled before thrusting her hand grabbing the blade with only a tiny cut on her glove.

Coco: Alright, you're good.

Kiba: What?

Coco: If you can dodge bullets and actually cut my glove then you'll do way more than that against one of the Phenex wimps.

Kiba smiled before sheathing his blade.

Koneko: I guess I'm up next.

She was about to put on gloves before Ryu held his hand up.

Ryu: No need. I can gauge how well you guys can do just from one of you fighting. The one I really need to make sure about it him.

He pointed to Issei who slightly jumped.

Rias: Issei?

Ryu: Alright Shitsei, show me what you've got.

Issei: Alright.

Issei powered up his Sacred Gear as Ryu summoned up Riptide. This alone showed that he meant business.

Ryu: I'm not gonna say this more than once. Get. Serious.

Issei shivered feeling the strength coming from Ryu.

Ryu: I'll give you time to boost up but that's all. Now.

Issei: Alright!! Let's go!!

Ddraig: BOOST!!

Issei: Again!!

Ddraig: BOOST!!

Issei: Not done yet!! Keep it going!!!

Issei continuously boosted as he seemed to be going above and beyond.

Ryu: That all you got?

Issei: COME ON!!!

He kept boosting until he got all the way up to 28.

Akeno: Amazing.

Rias: 28 boost in a row.

Ryu: Alright, you could probably go more but that'll be more than enough. Hit me with everything you got kid.

Issei: NOW!!!

Ddraig: EXPLOSION!!

Issei's power was flaring around him as a ball of red light appeared in front of his fist. Ryu seeing this was slightly shocked feeling the energy.

Ryu: That'll actually tickle if I take it head on. Looks like I'll have to bring out an old move.

Ryu gripped Riptide in his hand as it seemed to glow in a black and red light.

Issei: HAAA!!!

Issei punched the light ball as a crimson red beam went straight to Ryu. As he saw it he slightly smiled.

Ryu: 'Looks like you actually grew... Issei.'

He pulled Riptide back as the energy flared more.

Ryu: Getsuga Tenshou!!!

He swung the blade with a slash of black and red power colliding with Issei's beam. There was a brief clash before Ryu's attack instantly overpowered Issei's pushing them into the sky.

Rias: What in the world?

Akeno: That was so much power, but he still beat it without breaking a sweat.

Ryu: You're definitely ready.

Issei: Yeah.

Ryu: I better see all of you kicking ass out there. I'm not gonna be there to hold your hands.

Rias: You know-

Ryu: Fuck you Rias, I'm not getting rid of what little humanity I have left.

Rias: *Sigh* Fine.

Ryu: You'll do just fine without me.

Right then a new/old voice in Ryu's head spoke up.

???: YOU FOOL YOU'VE DOOMED THEM ALL!!

Ryu: ... Kaiser?

TIME SKIP!!

Ryu and Coco were watching the rating game with Sona and Tsubaki.

Ryu: I was right.

Sona: So let me get this straight, you trained them?

Ryu: Hell yeah.

Ryu was watching the game with a proud smirk. That was until he saw each of the Phenex Peerage members pull out an item.

Ryu: ... What's that?

Coco: Phoenix Tears!

Ryu: Eh?

Tsubaki: They're items that can only be used once on a Devil in a Rating Game. They restore all of you're strength and Magic Power.

Ryu: THE FUCK?!!! Why don't they have any?!!

Sona: Only the Phenex Family is able to produce them.

Ryu: IF I KNEW THAT THAN I'D HAVE GIVEN THEM SENZU BEANS!!!!

Coco: It's too late now!

Ryu saw that Issei Kiba and Koneko were putting up a good fight against all of them but knew their stamina had started decreasing drastically.

Ryu: Damnit!!

Shojo: Maybe Kaiser was right.

He saw that Koneko had been defeated worrying him greatly. However Issei and Kiba managed a combo attack, involving Issei's new perverted technique the Dress Break (Explains Itself) and Kiba's Sword Birth to defeat a few. That didn't last long though as Akeno had been defeated by Yubelluna along with Kiba. Ryu gritted his teeth angered. Not with the Gremory's or the Phenex's, but with himself.

Ryu: How did I not think of healing items being involved! If I knew than I would've taken them to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber!

Coco: Hyperbolic Time Chamber?

Issei had promoted himself to a Queen but it was far too late for that as he barely managed to shield Asia from an explosion although the blonde was knocked out. Seeing those explosions triggered a flashback for Coco and Ryu as they felt like they were at the Fall of Beacon once again.

Ryu: This needs to stop...

Sona: It won't unless one of them concedes defeat Ryu. You can only cross you're fingers for them.

Riser was pummeling Issei to a bloody pulp as his aura had even broken.

Coco: Ryu his Aura is empty!!

Ryu tried holding onto the table to keep himself still only to crack it down the middle once he saw a massive fireball in Riser's hand.

Rias: What are you doing?!

Riser: I'm sending him to hell where he belongs!! Any deaths that occur in a rating game are considered accidents!!

Hearing that went Ryu over the edge as he blasted through the room they were in dashing to stop Riser.

Ryu: BASTAAAAAAAAAAARD!!!!!!!!

They all looked to see nothing until Ryu appeared in front of Riser punching through him and sending him flying into a crater. This also snapped and cracked all of the bones in Riser's body.

Rias: Ryu?

He looked back to Issei shaking him.

Ryu: Issei! Common dude say something!!

Issei: S-Sorry, Ryu. That training of yours... Was wasted on me...

He fell unconscious as Ryu's eyes widened.

Ryu: No!

He turned back and glared towards Riser who was on the ground.

Ryu: YOU ARE-

Grayfia: Due to outside interference to Lord Riser's Peerage, the Lady Rias' Team Loses.

Ryu: OH FUCK OFF YA WHITE HAIRED BITCH!!

Ryu summoned up Riptide as was ready to go down to slice Riser into bits before he Coco's voice.

Coco: DON'T RYU!!!

He looked back seeing her flying to him.

Coco: It won't change anything!

Ryu clenched his fist tightly before going to pic up Issei and fling him over his shoulder.

Rias: Ryu, what are you doing?!

Ryu: I'm gonna take Issei for a bit.

Rias: What?!!

He looked back at her with the most serious calm look she had ever seen on his face.

Ryu: Trust me when I say we'll be back and his ass will be as good as cooked.

She looked at him for a moment before nodding.

Ryu: Coco, I'm gonna trust you to keep everything around here in one piece got it?

Coco: What are you planning?

Ryu: ... I'm gonna go visit the guys back in the Four Kingdoms.

Coco's eyes slightly widened hearing this.

Coco: Oh you're pissed.

Ryu: OF COURSE I AM!!!

He fumed a bit before teleporting out of sight. Where he landed was a cabin in the woods. This wasn't in Japan though. It was in a completely different area of the world.

Ryu: Looks like I'm back Carver.

He walked to the door before in correct Ryu fashion kicking it down.

???: RYU!!

He caught what seemed to be rose haired ball of energy in his unoccupied arm.

Ryu: Missed ya too Rubes.

RUBY "COOKIE MUNCHER" ROSE!!

Ruby: What was it like on the other side of the world? You've gotta tell me everything! Also who's that-

She was pulled back by the collar by a man with black and white hair.

???: Woah, breathe Ruby.

AZURE "QUIET THUNDERBOLT" KAITO!!

Ryu: Yo Azure.

???: You're finally back you two.

Shojo: Hey there Shonen.

SHONEN "OTHER WOLF" KAITO!!

Azure: Good to have you back for a bit dude.

Ryu: Yeah, good to be back. Anyway where is everyone?

Azure: Well Aero and Erica went out for a mission, and Karma Neo and the others just went out.

Ryu: Ah, great. Anyway you guys didn't touch my bag of Senzu's right.

Ruby: Nope, right in you're room.

Azure: Anyway, like Ruby was asking who is this guy?

Ryu: Oh just a Devil from the other side of the world, no one that special.

Shonen: Oh, well then that's fine.

Azure: Yeah just- Wait run that by me again?

Ruby: DID YOU JUST SAY DEVIL?!!!

Ryu: Yep.

Azure: Explain idiot.

Ryu: The other side of Remnant is weird as fuck.

Ryu dropped Issei onto the couch as he went and grabbed a bad of Senzu Beans. He walked back down and fed one to Issei. After a few seconds he shot up abruptly.

Issei: AH!!!

He looked around and saw Ryu Ruby and Azure.

Ryu: Sup Shitsei.

Issei: R-Ryu?

Ryu: The one and only.

Issei: Wh-Where are we?

Ryu: The other half of Remnant.

Issei: WHAT?!! HOW LONG WAS I OUT FOR?!!!

Ryu: Not long bud. But I'm gonna give the details. Riser was about to kill you, I stepped in, and you guys lost cause of it. Bitch at me all you want but it was either that or you're life.

Issei: W-We lost? Then that means Rias will...

Issei thought back to Riser and the look in Rias' eyes before tears started to roll down his face. Ruby and Azure were confused and had required some much needed context.

Issei: I failed her... I was too weak... You had to save me and it cost us the game! All the time you spent was wasted! If only I could've been stronger!

Ryu: Well, you weren't.

Shojo: Really Ryu?

Ryu: But do you know what you can do?

Issei looked at Ryu who slowly began to stand.

Ryu: You train to get even stronger.

His eyes seemed to glow.

Ryu: And stronger. And stronger.

Ryu clenched his fist as he powered up with a white aura surrounding him and sending him flying off the couch. Azure and Ruby were both slightly deadpanning as this went on.

Azure: There he goes, showing off to weaklings.

Ruby: Meanwhile the place barely stays clean.

Ryu: Train until you become so much more powerful you can tackle any opponent head on and win!

Issei: 'Th-This is intense!'

Ryu: That Fire Cunt pissed me off so I won't stop until you can take him down!! I'll even join the fun! It's gonna be a long grind!

CHAPTER END!!
