Highschool DxD: The Game (Early Work)

Part #47. Red Dragon & The Gamer VS. Sairaorg Bael.

Kyu walked down the hallway with his hands in his pockets. He reached the opening to the stadium and walked over to the railing before jumping over to the platform where Rias, Asia, and Issei were.

Kyu: "Oi. Rias-senpai." He said.

Rias: "K-Kyu-kun? You're not supposed to be up here!" She told him.

Kyu: "What the hell happened? Yuuto-senpai, Xenovia-senpai, and Rossweisse-san were just teleported to the medbay." He said.

Rias: "Oh... Sairaorg took them all out." She said.

Kyu: "I see..." He said.

Asia: "They managed to cut off his arm, but just after that, they were all taken out." She informed him.

Kyu: "And Sairaorg's got his arm back?" He asked.

Rias: "Yes." She nodded.

Rias: "We've just agreed to a team battle." She said.

Kyu: "Hm... so it's you guys against those two?" He asked.

Asia: "Yes." She nodded.

Kyu: "Sounds fun, count me in." He said.

Rias: "Kyu-kun, I've told you, you can't participate in--" She paused.

Kyu was not smiling. He stared blankly at Rias and in that moment, she knew that this wasn't up for debate.

Announcer: "Another member of Rias Gremory's Peerage has appeared! Where was he during those last rounds?!" He asked before leaning away from his microphone.

Announcer: "I thought she didn't have any more pieces." He said quietly.

A garbled voice responded.

Announcer: "An Angel? Is that allowed?" He asked.

Clone: "It is now!" He said into his microphone.

Kyu gave a thumbs up to the holographic screen and a turquoise magic circle appeared underneath Issei, Rias, and Kyu. The three of them disappeared in a flash of light and appeared in an area with a starry night sky. They appeared to be standing on a floor made of clouds, yet they were solid.

Sairaorg's Pawn, who stood next to him, was a young boy with spiky orange hair and golden eyes. He dropped onto his hands and knees before he began growing in size. His hair grew into a great mane and turned golden, his clothes were torn to shreds and his skin turned golden and he sprouted a tail, his mouth extended and had become a snout. The Pawn had become a giant golden lion.

Kyu: "Rias-senpai, Issei-senpai. You guys go first. I'll study their attacks and jump in if needed." He told the two.

Issei nodded.

Issei: "Balance Break!" He called out and his armor formed.

Issei dashed towards Sairaorg while the golden lion went for Rias. Kyu stared at the golden lion and saw the name above its head.

[Regulus {Nemean Lion}]

The boy clicked his tongue and looked at Issei's fight with Sairaorg. The two were throwing punch after punch to each other. Kyu noticed a slightly lag in Sairaorg's right arm compared to his left, Kyu assumed that was the arm that was cut off before.

His eyes darted back and forth. Sairaorg and Issei seemed somewhat evenly matched, but that was only because of Sairaorg's injured arm. Rias was trying to keep Regulus at a distance with her Destruction power.

As the four fought, Kyu saw the Nemean Lion about to tear into Rias. The girl tried shielding herself, but the attack never came.
Kyu was holding back the lion's paw with only his foot.
