The Twist We Need

He got a blow!

*BOOM*

"And there he goes again." Grayfia was on the side watching the fight between Sirzechs and Issei. Was it entertaining to her? Hell no, she was watching a one sided beat down where Sirzechs kept humiliating him in ways she finds hilarious.

"Oops, my ass hit you." Sirzechs dusted off the dust from Issei skidding across the little arena.

The dust cloud following Issei's trajectory were huge as when they were clear, Issei was seen in the ground face planted with a mouth full of dirt.

"Ddraig, I hate this."

"Partner, I know. Getting your ass beat is just the beginning, trust. It's always the hardest to begin."

"Not this motivation crap."

"What else were you expecting from me? Hell yeah! Keep getting your ass beat partner! Keep on getting cooked!"

Sighing before realizing that he was lifted up in the air, Issei groaned. "One point for Sirzechs!"

Not even trying to refute, Issei simply landed on his back and decided to stay down. "I hate you."

"Suck a sore loser!" Sirzechs stuck her tongue out playfully.

Issei groaned before trying to get up. "I think you over done it this time."

Shrugging her shoulders, Sirzechs said, "I can't really tell when I do. I keep messing up how much power I need to hold back because how weak you are."

Feeling a blow to his heart from the words that Sirzechs said, Issei dramatically clenched his heart causing Sirzechs to laugh before lifting him up. "You know, at this point, I can be your mother to. I take care of you, feed you, and tuck you into bed."

Issei shook his head, "You beat the shit out of me, Grayfia feeds me since she is the one cooking, and you don't tuck me in since you simply throw me into the bed."

Sirzechs pouted before letting go of Issei to drop onto the ground. Issei groaned in pain while staying down there before finally deciding to get up.

"Ready for the last round for today?"

"No."

"Too bad, you aren't getting a choice in the matter."

Sighing to himself for the fourteenth time today, Issei got into position before boosting. Rushing at Sirzechs, Issei began to slow down the closer he got to Sirzechs in anticipation of her first move. Noticing that she was leaving herself wide open with a smug grin on her face, Issei got close before boosting once more to truly add an extra edge into his power. With the sudden burst, he nearly caught Sirzechs off guard, but she nonetheless was able to easily spin against his kick that he tried to deliver and lightly pushed his shoulder down.

The sudden force sent shocks throughout Issei's body and nearly knocked him out of his boosted state. Pushing against the floor he was thrown onto, Issei pushed back to gain distance from Sirzechs before boosting once more. He needed a sure-fire way of at least catching her off guard. Before he could do anything, Sirzechs was already behind him simply drawing imaginary circles on his back. Jumping away in fright, Issei was met with nothing. She was toying with him again. In anger, Issei began powering up even further.

With the boosted gear responding well with his emotions, he began to glow red with a few boosts in. Sirzechs upon seeing this was pretending that she was sitting in mid-air. "Oh! Fire works!"

Issei filled with determination rushed at her once more with far more speed. Aiming to catch any weaknesses on her, he circled around her observing if she was going to do anything. She was dozing off while watching him or letting her senses know where he was. Gritting his teeth again, he boosted and finally reached his limited before screaming, "Grayfia said you're a dumbass!"

Sirzechs eyes widened before Issei took the opportunity to appear right in front of her before planting his fist right into her face and screamed, "EXPLOSION!"

Putting all his energy into his hand and slamming her into the ground, Issei didn't stop there and pushed even further with placing his power all into one singular point after slamming her to create an explosion with such power that it covered the entire arena with smoke. Grayfia watched with some amazement that Issei was able to land a blow onto Sirzechs.

Knowing that Sirzechs was simply toying with him, Issei knew that saying random things at her would confuse her. Since she likes to process things, this allowed him to land a minor blow onto her. 'Not bad little one.' Grayfia couldn't help but smile in pride upon seeing little Issei getting stronger.

Sirzechs appeared behind the exhausted Issei, who was still in the same position with his hand planted into the ground, with a pouty face. "You nearly ruined my dress!"

"I'm going to ruin a lot more than that dress!" Issei screeched before trying to land another blow. However, being drained by using all his power in that one singular blow, Issei simply tripped and passed out.

Catching him, Sirzechs lifted him up in her arms and sighed in relief. She didn't want to push Issei too hard to the point where it would cause lethal damage. Kissing his forehead lightly in being proud of him, Sirzechs only looked at the boy peacefully snoring in her arms with a very fond expression. "You're going to go big one day Issei."

Walking with Issei towards Grayfia, Ddraig decided to enter. "I wouldn't mind fighting against you one day, Lucifer."

Sirzechs raised her brow upon hearing the ancient dragon, "Is that so?"

"The stronger the better the fight!"

"Not fun for me."

"Why's that?"

"I hate having one-sided battles."

"Why you little..."

"Shut up and leave me and Issei in this peaceful moment before he becomes rebellious again."

Ddraig was about to blow up before Sirzechs placed her hand on the gauntlet and forcefully made it disappear by applying some of her immense magic. "Grayfia!" The silver-haired maid turned to her best friend, "I need you to tell me the truth!"

"What?"

"Did you actually call me an idiot?"

Grayfia looked at her with a deadpanned expression, "Who told you that?"

"Issei said it to me, and it surprised me. Knowing you, it probably was the truth."

"He made..." She stopped herself there and smirked, "Actually, I did call you a dumbass. A very huge dumbass. Such a dumbass that there must be a word that can describe you because dumbass is too light."

Sirzechs felt offended before retorting, "Oh yeah! Well, I think you're stupid and pathetic!"

"Doesn't change the fact you're a dumbass!"

"I should have killed you during the war!" Sirzechs placed Issei on the ground carefully and rushed at Grayfia, who began running the other way. "Get back here you piece of shit!"

Grayfia ran as fast as she could with Sirzechs chasing her at full speed.
