I glared at Rias, as black lightning crackled around me.  Rias backed away in fear.

Eko: Now, Rias... die!

I tensed, preparing to rush towards her, but something landed between us.

Thor: Boy, this is no time to start a war.

Thor stood in front of me, wrapped in a cloak.  The lightning around me dissipated as I fell to my knees, and he walked over.

Thor: Your Blitzkrieg form takes too much out of you, Eko.  I told you that until you can control it properly, only use it as a last resort.

Eko: She tried to kill me.  She nearly killed Makomo, and I retaliated.  I'll refrain from killing them for now, but please allow me to finish this myself.

Thor: Very well.  Good luck, boy.

In a flash of rainbow light, Thor left on the Bifrost.

Rias: Who was that, Eko?  Tell me, right now!

Eko: Surely you recognized my teacher, didn't you?

Rias: Your... teacher?

Eko: Yes.  The one who saved me and trained me, helped me become stronger... the God of Thunder, Thor.

Her eyes widened.

Eko: I'll make you a deal, Rias.  Your strongest fighter against mine.  If my fighter loses, I'll rejoin your peerage.  But if you lose, then you let my peerage and I leave.

Rias grinned, believing that I'd made a mistake.

Rias: Fine.  Issei.

Issei stepped forward, a smirk on his face.

Eko: Boros, you're up. This guy's pretty weak, but I suppose he'll serve as a warmup fight for whatever you're looking for.

Boros: Very well then.

Issei: Who am I fighting then, weakling?  The girl?  Please tell me it's the girl.

Makomo looked disgusted.  Sabito looked ready to stab him, and I honestly couldn't blame him.  I forced a smile, as there was a loud boom in the distance.

Eko: As a matter of fact... 

There was a massive crash as something hit the ground a few meters away.  A figure stood up, stepping out of the crater he had made.

Eko: Hello, Boros.

Boros: Eko.

He nodded at me before turning and pointing towards Issei.

Boros: Is that him?

I nodded and Boros grinned, showing off his sharp teeth.

Boros: You said he was weak, but... that was kind of an understatement.

I smirked as Issei clenched his fists, rushing towards Boros.  Ddraig appeared on his arm.

Ddraig: BOOST!

Issei punched Boros in the chest... and nothing happened.  Boros grinned, looking down at Issei.

Boros: Was that really the best you could do... you pathetic piece of shit?

There was a flash of light as energy exploded around Boros.
