Riser sat on his sofa with his usual arrogant smirk. There were less than ten minutes before the game began. He wasn't remotely worried about what might be in store for him and his peerage.

His queen, Yubelluna, approached and took a seat on the arm of the sofa.

Yubelluna: "If I may, Lord Riser. I'd like to address one of the common concerns between myself and the other peerage members."

Riser: "Riser permits you to do so."

Yubelluna: "The pawns did some scouting of the Gremory peerage... They've trained to a point where I and the others doubt we can win against them."

Riser raised an eyebrow before waving his hand in dismissal.

Riser: "There is nothing they can do against us to come out victorious. Riser knows that this win is solidly his."

Yubelluna: "... Very good, my lord. I shall return to the others then."

Riser nodded as Yubelluna exited the room. The queen sighed before looking up at the others who had gathered expectedly.

Yubelluna: "Lord Riser is still solidly of the opinion that we are going to emerge victorious."

Ni: "We can't!"

Li: "Agreed. Those devils took their training to an insane level. Not to mention they have that guy on their side."

Xuelan: "Yeah. Despite how much of a threat he poses, I wanna fight him anyway. Stronger opponents give more lessons than weaker ones anyway."

Siris: "honestly, you have a point. I say we go out and at least try to hold him off for as long as we can!"

Ile/Nel: "YEAH!"

Burent: "If you think we can, then we will."

The peerage nodded as the teleportation circle surrounded them. They were expecting to find themselves in a replica of Kuoh academy. But what awaited them was something very different.

They were instead transported to a very dark place. The walls were angled and the floor seemed to be made of some kind of metal composite.

A familiar voice then rang out across the hall the peerage found themselves in. Rage, for his part, sounded excited about what was about to happen.

Rage: "So. I bet you lot expected to be in Kuoh, eh? Well, have a look out of that breach that's next to you."

Karlamine looked at the breach as a veil of shadow was lifted. Everyone's eyes widened in horror as they saw the rings of Saturn just outside.

Rage: "Welcome to Saturn. Welcome to the dreadnaught."

Riser shuddered as he saw the whole scope of the hall they were standing in.

Yubelluna gazed in awe at the massive size of the dreadnaught before Rage continued

Yubelluna gazed in awe at the massive size of the dreadnaught before Rage continued.

Rage: "Your objective is simple. Find the throne room where Rias and her peerage are waiting for you. The creatures that once called this dreadnaught home have long since been eliminated. The good news for you is that you don't have to travel too far to get to the throne room. However... For every three minutes you aren't here. I will separate you all and hunt one of you down. You'll be reunited when I've eliminated the one I was hunting. So you'd better hurry~."
