01x11 - The Acclaimed Battle Continues!

[bunniefuu]

Damn you whoever you are!

I'm sorry.

Hold on Koneko.

I just wanted...

I just wanted to

serve Rias well.

It's all right...

We'll get you to Asia, and

she'll heal you up in no time.

No, don't go...!

Stay with me!

One of Lady Rias'

rooks... retired.

Damn it...!

You k*lled Koneko!

Get down here and see

how you do against me!

Calm down, Issei...

When someone can longer fight,

they're transferred to a

more appropriate location,

where they're treated

for their injuries...

Koneko is not dead.

You need to try and focus.

But Rias!

It's time to give up

the fight, little boy.

No matter how hard you

struggle, you won't win.

You can't win.

Well this is exciting.

Akeno!

Issei...

I can take care of this trash;

you go on ahead, okay?

Oh... and don't worry,

I'll make sure she pays.

"Make me pay"; how exciting!

I'll be fine, Issei, just go!

Whatever you say; just get her!

I've been wanting to fight you

for what seems like ages...

Priestess of Thunder.

Oh, have you...?

That's sweet, but the

pleasure is truly mine...

b*mb Queen.

Three of Lord Riser's

pawns... retired.

Whoa, three of them?

That's crazy!

Hey!

Kiba, you're okay!

Wait...!

Those three outs, was that you?

Yeah, thanks to Akeno's barrier.

She made it pretty easy for me.

Currently, the remaining

pieces on Lord Riser's side

have the advantage at nine...

Lady Rias has

only five players left.

They cannot afford to

get careless, though.

Did you hear that

we lost Koneko?

Yeah, I heard...

None of us knew how close

she was to her limit...

She was really on fire today...

I'm sure she was

disappointed, though.

I don't care how,

but we're gonna win this!

Yeah...

You're damn right we are!

Kiba, Issei, do you read me?

I'm launching a sneak att*ck

on their base with Asia.

I want you to draw as

many of the enemy away

from the entrance as

you can to buy us time.

Is that safe?

I'm left with no choice;

I was planning to give

Akeno time to recover

so she could blast them

one by one, but now...

Riser sent his queen,

so I need her focus there.

Yes, of course...

but don't you think

it's too risky to have

the king leave the base?

With any luck, Riser will be

thinking along the same lines...

Here's hoping I can

take him by surprise.

If we can strike him

strong and hard enough,

we might just be able to take

the fight out of him and win.

His body may be immortal,

but his heart is not...

And trust me, I will have

no problem whatsoever

breaking that

devil's black heart.

Well, since that's decided...

Let's show them what the

Occult Research Club can do!

Balls to the wall, my friend.

Hey...! We know

you're hiding out there...

Quit acting like a bunch of

pansies and come fight us!

I am Karlamine, a knight in

the service of Lord Riser!

To be perfectly honest,

requesting to be att*cked

by us makes me

question your sanity.

Although... far be it from me to

refuse an idiot his reckoning!

I am Kiba Yuto, a knight in

the service of Lady Rias...

I sure hope you're ready...

I've been looking forward

to battling another knight...

Can't wait to get started.

Very well said...

En Garde, knight

of Rias Gremory!

Awesome...!

Guess it'd be rude to

get in the middle of it.

Plus you'll be busy.

Oh, that Karlamine...

Her head is filled with nothing

but swords, swords, swords,

it's freaking ridiculous.

She was way too bothered

by those other pieces

we sacrificed, too...

You ask me, she needs

to get it together.

And now, right when I think

I've found a cute boy...

Turns out he's a

sword freak, too.

Guess this just isn't

my lucky day, now is it?

Looks like they've brought out

all of their remaining pieces...

Way to go, Rias;

you guessed right.

And what am I even looking at?

Lady Rias has the

worst taste in boys.

Cute girl with a bad attitude;

you're so cliché...!

Boosted Gear!

Boost!

Please, don't point

that thing at me;

I have no intention

of fighting you.

What?

Isabela.

My name is Isabela,

and I am a rook in service

of the honorable

Lord Riser Phoenix.

Prepare yourself to fight...

Pawn of Rias Gremory!

Hey, hold on!

What's wrong with that one?

What do you mean you have

no intention of fighting, huh?

She is serving in this

battle as a bishop...

But for the most part,

she likes to watch.

Why?

Because the lady

is Ravel Phoenix.

Phoenix?

Ravel is one of the

Phoenix household devils,

but she is also

Lord Riser's sister.

His sister?

Oh?

You think it's creepy that

I have my sister in my harem...?

You're just jealous of Riser.

Fear not.

She's part of my team because

she needed something to do.

I don't have a

thing for my sister.

At least that's what he says.

That bastard is a sicko

on top of being a tool!

Although, to be fair,

I get why he'd want her

in his harem, sister or not.

You're better than I expected.

Well, I didn't just train

with Koneko and Kiba

for the fun of it!

All I have to do is power up...

Just a few more times.

Boost!

That's my fifth time boosting...

Might be enough against a pawn,

but this D-cup is a rook.

You know...

You're no me,

but you've improved

since Mira knocked

you to the floor.

My congratulations to Rias;

it looks like she

trained you well.

First off...

It was the ceiling

not the floor...

And... Thank you

for the compliment!

I trained like crazy for her...

so you'll understand

when I kick your ass!

Riser's been expecting you...

Hello, my beloved Rias.

My Holy Eraser!

Unfortunately for you,

that att*ck doesn't work

against someone like me.

Oh really, what

about this one...?

Freeze!

You've gotta be kidding;

there's no way you

have two Sacred Gears!

No matter,

I still control flame!

And wind, and life...!

As do all from the

House of Phoenix!.

No way!

How many Sacred Gears

do you actually have?

Oh, no, it's not that

I have multiple Sacred Gears,

I simply have the ability

to make them at my will.

I possess Sword Birth,

have you ever heard of it?

In other words...

I make swords...

Magical swords.

Impossible.

That is freakin' tight...

I had no idea he had

that kind of power.

Moron!

Never turn away during a fight!

Damn... it should

be any second now.

Boost!

Finally!

expl*si*n!

Un-Dragon-Wavy...

Dragon sh*t!

'Kay, that was crazy.

And I thought I'd held back

a lot of power on it, too.

I can't afford for

him to boost again...

I've gotta take out

his Gear... now!

Gotcha!

Oh, was that supposed to hurt ?

Fly apart!

Dress break!

What did you do?

Save to mental folder, gazonga.

Ooh, saving complete...!

Here, have some more!

Isabela!

One of Lord Riser's

rooks... retired.

I b*at her!

What an atrocious

technique, though.

Wow... That's perversion

at its basest level.

This is the first time

I've witnessed it myself...

I really don't

know what to say...

I'm sorry my friend

Issei is such a pig.

Hey! Why are you

apologizing to her?

She's one of the bad guys!

Kiba!!!

Yeah, but...

You there, foot soldier!

Just a heads up.

You may want to watch this.

Rias!

Is that Riser up there with her?

What the hell??

I bet he anticipated our move.

So, I'm assuming you knew

I was planning to

att*ck you directly?

A virgin should never

underestimate one

with this much experience.

How comforting;

you're as vulgar as ever.

The Princess of Ruin...

Twilight Healing...

Priestess of Thunder...

Sword Birth...

And Boosted Gear...

Such grand sounding names

when they're all together.

However, we are Phoenixes...

Immortal Birds... and

you cannot defeat us!

Are you beginning

to understand...?

Your situation here

is so completely

and pathetically hopeless...

Oh Ni?

And Li?

It's time he met

a couple of pawns

who actually know

what they're doing.

Boosted Gear!

Boost!

You're like so gross.

What kind of freak

att*cks like that?

Here, maybe

this'll help you think!

Go ahead and get him, Siris!

Hey, Kiba!

You can do this!

He's so strong!

I wish you would make this

a little more entertaining...

This is the worst

foreplay I've ever had.

Play with this!

Rias, no!

I'm fine, Issei.

Don't worry about me;

focus on the battle at hand.

But!

Don't doubt yourself;

I believe in you...

Fight!

Introduce them to the

power you truly possess!

You are a servant

of Rias Gremory!

That's right!

I'm her servant, and

I'm not gonna let her down!

He blocked Siris' sword!

With his arm!

You're damn right I did...!

It's a matter of time,

so get ready because I'm

taking you all out, one by one!

For Rias Gremory!

It broke!

Red Dragon Emperor,

if you can hear me at all,

respond by lending

me your power!

Dragon Booster!

I need more!.

I ask you to fully

connect with my emotions!

Boosted... Gear!

Dragon Booster,

Second Liberation!

What?!

Whoa...!

It changed again!

I didn't expect the Priestess

of Thunder to be this strong.

Your magic must

be almost depleted.

Never fear...

All I need is a little rest,

and I'll recover just fine.

Well... That does

sound like a good plan,

but I don't think

I want to wait.

And what's in that?

Oh just your trap.

I did it...

I reached a new level...

I can feel more power!

Kiba!

Unleash your Sacred Gear

with all the power you've got!

Do what?

Just do it!

Right...

Sword Birth!

Transfer!

I don't understand...

How could we lose?

Two of Lord Riser's Pawns...

Two of his Knights...

And one of his

Bishops... retired.

Somehow he enhanced the knight's

ability with his Boosted Gear.

A new power, granted to him

by the Red Dragon Emperor.

That was so awesome...!

Boosted Gear Gift!

Lady Rias...

One Queen...

Retired.

Akeno, no.

Akeno...

How did they get to her?

Looks like you've lost

your vaunted right hand.

Maybe, but I still

have Issei and Kiba!

Not for long, my beloved.

Damn...

Akeno's the most

powerful evil piece we had.

Kiba! Kiba!!!

Give up?

Never!

One of Lady Rias'

knights... retired.

Kiba's gone now?

You might as

well resign, darling.

Resign, this!

You don't get it yet, do you?

What a lovely bishop you have...

Refuse to resign and she

and your precious

pawn will only get hurt.

What're you gonna do?

That took you long

enough, Yubelluna.

Their queen was every bit as

strong as we heard she was...

Believe it or not, I had to use

these on her in order to win.

A win is a win, as they say...

Out of all our pieces,

you're still the one we

can depend on the most.

Thank you.

What is that?

Our family's hidden treasure...

Tears of the Phoenix...

which completely heal

any injury instantly.

And how is that fair?

Oh, take a chillaxative,

we're only allowed to

use them twice per game.

Besides, you guys have a Bishop

who uses Twilight Healing,

so what're you whining about?

Luckily, these drops can

only be produced by our family,

so we've made quite a

profit off them over the years.

Face it, with our money, tears,

and immortality the House

of Phoenix was destined

to win every Rating

Game we compete in.

Um, I was in the

middle of laughing at you!

Might as well try...

Promotion give me

the power of a queen.

Just a little further...

If it's the last thing I do,

I swear I'm gonna make

sure Rias Gremory wins!

Lady Rias!.

Issei Hyodo...

Reporting for butt kicking duty!

Issei!

You're okay!

I can take care of pawn boy

and the good bishop...

Shall I?

Do not...

Riser would prefer to

take them all on together...

I enjoy being as

persuasive as possible.

Don't get ahead of yourself...

You'll have to go through me

before you get to them!

Resign; you're

about to be mated...

I can't help but

anticipate your moves...

Riser knows you better

than you think he does...

Checkmate, my love.

You know nothing if

you think I'll give up...!

Try as you might,

you will not intimidate me.

I am a king, and

I am ready for w*r!

You leave me no choice, then...

Do it.

Gladly, sir.

Asia, hey!

I can't believe

you're still standing after

everything they've done...

You're so brave, Issei,

you never give up, do you?

Well, I did promise,

now didn't I?

Yeah.

Thank you for that...

You're our lifeline now, so you

need to protect yourself...

better take a step back.

No!

Damn you, Riser!

You okay?

I'm good, but...

She's alright...

She most likely just collapsed

from the shock of the att*ck.

I apologize...

I didn't expect the boy

to take that att*ck so well.

Perfectly fine...

For now, you've

stopped their Bishop

from any Twilight Healing.

You d*ck!

He survived a direct

hit from me, though.

It's the queen's

defensive strength...

His promotion saved him.

Alright...

Can we start b*ating

him down now?

Yeah.

I may not know much about

putting someone in check

or anticipating

their next move...

But I'm stronger than ever

and I'm not giving up...!

As long as I can stand,

I won't stop fighting!

I couldn't have

said it better myself.

Why don't we take

him out together?

Hell yeah!.

I'm in!

Sit tight for me, Asia...

We've got a game to win...

After that, I swear we

can go home, okay?

Dragon Boost...

Boost!

One more time!

Let's go!

Boost!

Boost!!

Again!

Dragon Boost!

Burst!

Issei!

Unlike any of the

other Sacred Gears,

the Boosted Gear

has a way of taxing

its host's physical

strength without warning.

To be honest, I think

the fact that he was able

to fight at all after

enhancing himself

that many times is

practically a miracle.

His magical power was

almost completely exhausted

by the time he took that

direct hit from Yubelluna.

His body has already

exceeded its limit.

This is over.

Never!

Rias...

You barely have any magical

power left, yourself...

Why not admit defeat...?

Riser won't think

any less of you.

Not a chance!

I'm fine!.

I can still fight!

I don't care how bad it hurts;

we can still win, I swear!

I'm gonna be

the mightiest pawn...

I promised...

I told you I would...

After all, I was

trained by the best.

What?

You don't know when to die!

I can fight.

A pawn of Rias Gremory

never gives up!

Stop it!

I will fight...

I will keep my promise...

Nothing can make me stop...

or back down.

Nothing!

Issei, get back...!

Get away from him...!

That is a direct order!

You'll see.

Because...

I won't... ever give up, on her.

Whatever!

I like you and I don't care

what your name is!

I like you for who you are!

Look at everything that

you've done for me...

I just hope someday

I can pay you back.

I can't...

It's too much.

Now I'm pissed!

You're just a pathetic,

lowly servant!

You don't even have the right

to challenge Riser Phoenix!

Riser, what do you

think you're doing?

I'm sending this loser to

hell where he belongs.

No amount of healing will save

this boy when Riser's done...

Any deaths that occur

during a Rating Game

are considered accidents anyway!

Bastard.

Die!

Issei!

Riser, please stop!

Let him go!

I resign, okay?

I resign...

Please, just let him go.

Checkmate...

Riser wins again.

Rias...

Why?

Lady Rias' resignation

is recognized.

Lord Riser Phoenix is

the winner of the Game.

This is an engagement party...

So then why the hell am

I in a wedding dress?

I could've worked harder,

but it's too late now.

She deserves so

much better than me.

My bride.

Rias Gremory!

Yeah, screw those d-bags.
