Trials

Two days after his birthday, Alex and Rias traveled to some ruins in the Gremory territory. Rias was noticeably nervous, as the two arrived outside the ruins and waited for whoever was going to show up. Alex already expected it, but was still dumbfounded when five people dressed in power ranger suits jumped out of nowhere and posed as an explosion went off in the background.

"""""We are the satan Rangers!"""""

"I am Satan red!"

"Satan blue!"

"I guess I'm satan green."

"Magi- uh, Satan pink!💕"

"Satan yellow..."

They then posed again as another explosion went off. Rias was dumbfounded while Alex just recorded the whole thing with his phones camera. He then put the phone away, and walked towards the Satan Rangers. He then said to them,

"I understand I should expect as much from the four of you, but Grayfia, wouldn't your in-laws cry if they saw you like this?" Satan yellow, or Grayfia, then shuddered as if Alex's words really effected her, he almost thought she was going to start crying. He specifically called her out, because she seemed to be the only one embarrassed doing this, while Sirzechs and Serafall were still doing poses. He then looked at the other two, Falibium Asmodeus, and Ajuka Beezlebub, and simply shook his head before walking back to Rias. The five of them didn't really know how to react, and Rias looked as if she wanted to run away from this situation.

"Now um, there will be four trials in the ruins, led by each of us. Pass the four trials and prove your bonds with each other!" Satan red declared, and they all disappeared. Both Alex and Rias didn't know what to say, and simply started walking forward. Soon the two of them arrived at an open area, where Satan pink was waiting for them.

"The first trial is for you two to... DANCE!💕" She declared cheerfully. Some music started to play, and Alex and Rias decided to give in, and started dancing. Thanks to the fact that Venelana taught him at least a little bit of dance, Alex avoided making a fool of himself. The two continued for the whole song, before finishing elegantly. Satan pink was clapping enthusiastically as they finished, and said,

"Yay! The two of you passed, now onto the next trial!💕" Alex and Rias then walked past Satan pink, but as they did so Alex reached back and slapped her ass. She turned around and glared at him through her mask, as if she was trying to kill him with her glares, with how strong she was it might've actually been possible. Rias just gave him a look after he did so, and they kept walking. Alex suddenly had a thought, how was Serafall going to react when she found out about his kiss with Sona? Questions for another day.

They kept walking until they reached another open area, with a table and dishes on it this time. Satan green, or Falibium, was waiting there this time. He obviously didn't want to be there, indicated by his many yawns. There were a couple others there this time, who were to set the dinner table.

"Yawn... This trial is about table manners. Simply eat and points will be taken away if you're not using your manners right. Begin." The two sat down and started eating. Even though he changed some things, Alex expected some things like this would still happen. So ever since Ravel moved in he had her and Rias help him train for these trials, even if he didn't say why. That was why even though he didn't receive any formal training, Alex was still able to finish with a decent mark.

"With this the trial is done. Yawn, now you can go to the next area." Rias hugged Alex out of happiness, and the two continued. They soon reached the third open area, with another table set up with some papers on it. This time it was Satan blue, Ajuka Beezlebub, waiting for them. He then pointed at the papers and said,

"This is a written test about the devil world, and the history of Gremory house. You have an hour to finish as much as possible, begin." Alex sat down and started to write down the answers. This was also something he had Rias especially help him with, even if the knowledge would be mostly useless after leaving the world. After an hour passed, the test finished and blue started grading their answers.

"Rias Gremory passes with perfect marks, Alex missed a couple things, but still passes with a high score." Alex let out a sigh of relief, and they were able to continue. The last trial was originally a fight with Sirzechs, but Alex wasn't sure if that was going to still happen since he talked about revealing his great ape form. As they continued walking, they both arrived at a colosseum area, with red and yellow in the center. Up in the stands were the three other Satan Rangers, the ORC, Azazel, and even the student council.

'Is it that big a deal for my great ape form to be revealed?' Alex thought to himself as he looked up at the audience. Red was still doing poses, and yellow was slightly shaking her head next to him. As Alex approached, he then said,

"This was originally the part where we fight so that you may demonstrate your feelings for Rias, but I am told that we will do something different today. Instead this trial will be about proving yourself by exposing even your most hideous, monster out form, to the woman you love! Are you ready?!" Alex sighed at the situation. He then turned to Rias,

"Go to the stands, I don't want you anywhere near me when I transform. And don't take anything I do to heart. I won't be able to control myself, I should eventually in theory, but this is my first time transforming so I bet it'll be impossible." Rias nodded, pale at the thought that Alex would attack even her. She then flew off, and Alex sighed as he thought about how to do this. He recalled that Vegeta used a ball of energy to replicate the moon, and formed one in his hand. He then threw it up into the air.

Alex then looked at the orb of energy in the sky intensely, as he waited for some sign of the transformation. The minutes ticked by, and still nothing. No one made a single noise as they all waited. He was starting to think he messed it up somehow, when he suddenly felt a jolt go through his body. Alex's consciousness then went dark.
