"Left."

*PUNCH!*

"Right."

*PUNCH!*

"Left."

*PUNCH!*

"Now, full speed!"

ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!

Suddenly, the wooden puppet broke so hard, it transcended to a another dimension.

Issei looked at his fists, proud of himself.

"Good job!" Matt said to the panting Issei. "Your punches might not be strong as mine, but it is enough for the battle you are going to encounter."

"Thanks, Matt-Sama!" Issei thanked. "I owe you my life for this!"

"Don't mention it, boy." Matt said. "Besides, Rias decided that I should join the battle. She said I am a very big advantage for the battle that is coming."

"Really?"

"Yep. I don't know how this 'Rating Game' works, but, trust me, kid. You don't wanna see me not holding back."

"...are you saying all of the practice was just you holding back?"

"What? You wanna get your bones broken?"

"N-no!"

"You two done chatting?" Tabi said.

"Uh..."

"You might wanna prepare your ass now, Issei." Tricky said. "We're going to Brazil in exactly ten minutes."

"Oh shit, you are right!" Issei said. "Bye, Matt-Sensei!"

"Cya later in the battle, kid." Matt said.

-

"This is Hell?" Zardy said. "Gotta be honest, I was expecting much worse. Well, I was expecting the unexpected, so that doesn't count."

Tricky thinks the same. This "Hell" looks tame than the one described in The Bible. He prefers the one from the Bible. Because he has been there.

And he ruled it once.

Well, before Hank killed him when Auditor absorbed him, at least.

Right now, they are now preparing for the fight

"Actually, this isn't Hell." Kiba said. "This is just a alternate dimension commissioned by Rias."

"Oh." Tabi said.

Well, aside from that, Tricky thinks Riser and his peerage will be fucked in the ass because for multiple reasons:

1. Zardy can make himself intangible and he strikes REALLY hard. It makes it (mostly) impossible to kill him.

2. Tabi is known to tire out his opponents through psychokinesis and he is very good with his knife. That's dangerous for a literal walking skeleton.

3. Whitty is surprisingly powerful. He can take hits like it was nothing (mostly). He can self-destruct LITERALLY and makes a mini Nuclear Warzone in a specific area. He can bend reality in his own will (not as strong as Tricky's, though).

4. Tricky himself. He can use Reality Bending powers like morph into a another person and probably mindfucks (no, not literally) a victim.

5. Matt. He is EXTREMELY and CRAZY fast. He shows ABSOLUTELY no mercy, especially in Battles and actually serious. Too fucking impossible to kill him. Zardy's intangibility looks pussy shit compared to his speed and endurance.

For some reason, Tricky thinks Issei can be a problem to Riser, too.

With Matt's training, he probably can break someone's ribs in battle. Tricky sensed that Issei will absolutely demolish one of Riser's goons.

"So, Issei." Tricky said to the brunette. "You ready?"

"Well, I feel stronger than before so, yeah! I am ready!" Issei said, confidently.

"Don't get your hopes up just yet, kid." Matt said. "I think this battle will last longer than expected."

Tricky thought about Riser's peerage.

They are exactly sixteen people (counting Riser). The bishop, the two Knights, the two Rooks, and the eight pawns are probably ready to attack.

Tricky and the Gang (and Matt) looked and nodded at each other.

"Let's light it up, boys." Matt said.

"Yeah!" Tricky and the Gang said in unison.

-

Apparently, Kiba and Koneko prepared some traps on the forest. Akeno casted out spells right after the traps are set. Freaking Issei is having a lap pillow with Rias.

However, Tricky, Matt, Tabi, Whitty, Zardy just waited roamed around the campus.

"Man, I am bored as hell." Whitty said. "I thought we gonna fight in a big arena or something."

"Meh, better than thousands of people watching from afar." Tabi said. "Imagine getting humiliated in front of many people."

"Only someone with a bad case of humiliation fetish would only wish for that." Tricky said.

"Why would you say that?" Whitty said.

"I don't know, I just wanna say it." Tricky said.

"Hey, guys!"

They looked around to see Issei and Koneko following them.

"We should go to the gymnasium." Koneko said. "That is where we gonna start fighting."

"Finally, some action." Tabi said.

"I'll go take a hike, me and Akeno have an agreement to infiltrate of who goes to the traps." Zardy said.

"Uh, okay." Whitty said to Zardy. "Good luck."

"Anytime, sonny."

After that, Zardy went to Akeno.

"Let's keep going."

---
The Gymnasium...
---

As they went inside sneakily, it seems dark.

"Looks like it's empty..." Whitty started to say.

Suddenly, the lights turned on.

"I know you're in there, Gregory-Slaves."

"...spoke too soon."

"Eh, we're anticipating a fight, so let's go." Matt said.

They got out of their hiding spot and faced their contenders. As expected, they were not impressed. Well, for Tricky, Matt, and the Gang (Tabi and Whitty), atleast.

Again, why the skimpy suits?

"The rook... Her power is definitely high." Koneko said.

"How high is it?" Matt questioned.

"It can rival of that of a Queen's."

"Hm." Matt hummed. "Not impressed."

Tricky giggled.

---

"There's an unusual amount of fog around here."

One of the three of Riser's Peerage said, as they roamed around.

Suddenly, magical bullshit.

(Too lazy to explain shit right now, sorry.)

"A trap?" One of them said. "This is merely child's play."

"It's dangerous for three pretty ladies roaming in the woods at night, isn't it?" A deep and old voice said behind them.

"Huh?"

They turned around to see a Scarecrow. A tall one that is.

"It seems that all of you are confused by a Scarecrow who talks." Zardy said. "Let's just say... If you want a show..."

He stepped out from the shadows.

"I'll give you a show."

---

"It seems you two are threatening Issei."

The two chainsaw girls, Ile and Nel, giggled at Matt.

"What? Trying to intimidate us, old man?"

"Heh, rude." Matt said before his tone starts to sound menacing. "Let us start with a nice little warmup."

Wait, what's with the music that's playing?

"Issei, go with the other one." Matt commanded the brunette. "I'll take care with this one."

0:15

Suddenly, Matt ran fast into the green-haired girl without a warning. It was so fast that the Nel didn't even see the punch of Matt.

She flew right out of the stadium.

Issei looked at Matt, awestruck.

"Pay attention, Issei!" Matt exclaimed. "Use your powers, just remember our training!"

"Right!"

Just focus.

Time seemed to stop around Issei, as the chainsaw gets closer to his face...

He grabbed it. He holds the chainsaw with little trouble.

Shockingly, it didn't even hurt!

The other green-haired girl looked at him, dumbstruck.

"Huh, so this is the power of Matt?" Issei said, as he looked at the green haired girl, with a smug grin in his face. "Now..."

"My turn..."

"BOOSTED GEAR!"

BOOST-AH!

After that, he sucker punched the green-haired girl out of the stadium.

Riser's Two Pawns Down!

"Heck yeah!" Issei shouted with victory.

"You done good, kid! Looks like the training has paid off!" Matt said to Issei.

---
Meanwhile with Whitty, Tabi, and Koneko...
---

"Just... Who are you guys?!"

"Well, I'm Whitty."

"I am Tabi."

"...Koneko."

---
Meanwhile with Zardy & Akeno...
---

"How are you doing this?!" The lady screamed.

"I don't know, my powers, I guess?" Zardy responded.

Zardy is literally a ghost, now. Like, nothing can touch him.

"Ara-Ara~ I didn't know Zardy has this kind of powers." Akeno said from afar.

---
With Tricky...
---

"One hotdog, please! ^-^"

Tricky summoned a hotdog vendor out of nowhere. The Hotdog vendor are friends with Tricky, though.

He gave him a hotdog.

"Thank you!"

Sadly, just before he eats it, someone thrown a fireball at his Hotdog.

He turned around and see that Riser Phenex destroyed his Hotdog on purpose.

"No time for eating, clown." Riser said, cocky. "It's time to show me what you got."

Tricky is angry. REALLY. ANGRY.

"I'M G0NNÆ MAK3 Y0V PÆY FOR THAT."

---

And, let's end it right here!

The next one is going to be intense!

---

Next Time On Tricky & The Devils!:

Riser just destroyed Tricky's Hotdog. You know what happens next.
