The match

Once the match started they announced the Arbitrator, and commentators. The arbitrator was someone Alex didn't recall, but learned was number seven in the rating games rankings, Rudiger Rosenkreutz. The announcers were the ones who trained both teams, Azazel who trained Rias's team, and the number one in the rating games ranking, Diehauser Belial, who trained Sairaorg's. They then started speaking,

"Good afternoon to you all, I am the current Governor General of the fallen angels Azazel."

"And I am the current champion, Diehauser Belial. I hope for a good match between the three groups today, and we have a small announcement. Due to the current terrorist activities there has been a severe shortage of Phoenix tears, but thanks to the kindness of the Phoenix family we have been graced with three bottles, one for each team."

Once they heard about the Phoenix tears being supplied the crowd went nuts, anticipating an even better match. As Alex heard they even had one prepared for him, he decided not to use it. They then announced the rules for this match, stating that it was dice figure. Dice figure was a game where each captain rolled a die, and the combined values represented who could fight. A single pawn was one, bishops and Knights were three, rooks were five, and the queens were nine. They then explained that the values for the Kings weren't set, but we're equal to individual value. It was decided that Sairaorg was equal to twelve, and Rias was an eight.

After the announcements were done, the match began. The first value was three, and the ones sent out were Kiba, and a knight from Sairaorg's side riding a demonic looking horse. After the introductions the two clashed. Due to the horses speed being higher than his, Kiba stood his ground and weathered the attacks. After a while he then used a new move, his subspecies balance breaker, Glory-Drag Knights. It didn't take long for him to end the match after that.

The next round had a value of ten, so Rosswiesse and Koneko got matched against a knight and rook from Sairaorg's side. After the round started Koneko turned into her two tails nekomata form, and attacked the rook. The rook was a member of one of the remaining Devils houses, famous for its members high strength and defense, and the knight was part of an extinct house, but also processed a sacred gear due to his human heritage. His sacred gear allowed him to increase gravity in his field of vision, but since Alex also learned how to manipulate gravity Rosswiesse wasn't too affected due to training together.

However it didn't mean much, as Koneko was still defeated at the end along with the rival rook and bishop. When Alex saw her small figure being pummeled, he felt some rage build in him. He already tried to prepare himself to see them defeated, but it was something else watching it happen in front of him.

"The current numbers are that three losses from Sairaorg Bael, and one from Rias Gremory." The arbitrator announced.

After that the next round started, and a value of eight was thrown. This time Xenovia and Gasper went out to fight. The ones that met them were two guys, a bishop and a rook, both from extinct devil houses. Not long after the battle began Sairaorg's bishop used his sacred gear to seal Xenovia's ex-durandal. As a result she hid until the seal faded, and Gasper used his/her own body as a shield. Once the seal faded Xenovia used a powerful holy attack to eliminate both of the opponents at once. As a result similar to the previous round, the Gremory group lost one person while Sairaorg's lost two.

When they showed a close up of Rias's team, everyone now had tears in their eyes due to Gaspers actions. The next round they rolled a twelve, so Akeno and Kiba went out. Akeno and the opponents queen swiftly started a battle of magic, with each side trying to overwhelm the other. Kiba went against the bishop, and used his gods speed to dodge her attacks and eventually managed to deal a decisive blow. He then joined the other fight and it quickly became one sided, but right before her defeat the opponents queen created another hole, but this time a bright light shot out and struck Akeno, resulting in a double retiring.

The next round was another twelve, but instead of sending out his pawn like many thought, Sairaorg came out himself. His opponents were Kiba, Xenovia, and Rosswiesse. The three battled Sairaorg with everything they had, eventually even managing to remove one of his hands. However it was not enough, and they were all retired, one after another. By this point Alex had watched Koneko, Akeno, Xenovia, and Rosswiesse all fall, as well as Kiba and Gasper. He was gripping the arm rests of his seat so tightly that they had long since cracked. The only good thing was that he was forced to use the Phoenix tears for his hand.

The final straw, was when Sairaorg requested a one one one between kings to finish the match. Rias accepted, as all she had left was Asia to send out. He then watched as Rias was overpowered, and beaten to the point where none could recognize her. She had used her power of destruction and aura of destruction, but Sairaorg's speed made it nearly impossible for her to hit him, and his defenses ensured the smallest amount of damage possible was dealt to him. Once she was defeated, the arbitrator announced,

"The winner is, Sairaorg Bael!" And the audience started cheering at the announcement. After several minutes they finally calmed down, and he announced,

"In one hour the match between Sairaorg Bael and the red dragon Alex will start, and we will then have our strongest youth devil!" Once more the audience went crazy at his words, remembering the action was not yet done for the day. At his words Alex stood, and left the viewing room to prepare for the fight.

***

When they watched Alex leave, everyone in the vip area let out a sigh. They could all feel the rage radiating off of him, and were looking forward to the show he would put on now. One of the gods, Zeus, then turned to those gathered and asked,

"So who do you all think will win?" Before anyone could answer Wukong spoke up.

"The red dragon of course." They were all surprised at his frankness in answering, and Hades spoke up,

"You're just playing favorites. We all know you're training the boy." But as his words were spoken the old monkey started laughing, causing them all to be confused. He then explained,

"Indeed I'm training him, so that means I know his strength the best. Tell me, how strong do you all think he is?" None could answer him, as they hadn't seen him go all out before. The old monkey laughed once more and said,

"At the upmost, if he is lazy, it will take a year for him to surpass me. If he continues to train diligently, it'll only take a few months before he does. However in terms of raw physical strength, he already has." He was actually belittling Alex's talent, as he didn't truly think it would take that long.

He had reviewed Alex's previous fights, in the fight against Loki not only was he a God that specialized in very powerful magic, but there was the presence of the god slayer Fenrir. It was no wonder he was being held in check at the time. In his fight against Cao Cao, though Alex stated that he was holding back for the sake of combat training, Cao Cao possessed the holy spear, had he landed one real hit against him Alex would've died. He entirely believed that Alex would shine the most in this fight, a power strength fighter against another one.

When they heard his words none could speak. They all knew that in his youth it took a mountain being dropped on Wukong to subdue him, if Alex had already surpassed him physically then how strong was he? The four Maou who witnessed him transform also kept silent. They all started to eagerly anticipate the next match.

The next hour seemed to go by swiftly. Alex had gone to the infirmary to see the girls, and the rage inside him grew when he saw their injuries. After seeing them he turned and walked towards the arena, a fire burning in him.

Once the hour was up it was time for the match. Alex was teleported to a separate space, and he saw Sairaorg and his pawn standing opposite him. Sairaorg saw the determination in Alex's eyes, and knew he couldn't take this fight lightly. The arbitrator then announced,

"Welcome all, to the final match for the strongest youth Devils! We now have the last two contenders facing off, the heir of the house of the great King, SAIRAORG BAEL!" At his words the audience erupted with cheers, remembering his victory in the last match. He then turned to Alex,

"And his opponent, the red dragon emperor, the man looking for revenge for his women, ALEX!!!!!" At these words several people started cheering, and Alex could hear a certain group in the stands.

"Let's go, cheer for Alex!"

"Do your best darling!"

"B-b-beat him HUSBAND!"

He looked over and saw Irina, Yasaka with Kunou, and Ravel cheering for him. Ravel even went as far as calling him husband in front of everyone, even though she was still shy about admitting it in front of others. Alex felt a little of the rage in him trickle away, but the majority of it was still there. The announcement rang out,

"The final fight of the day, START!"

Alex dispelled the extra gravity on himself, and said to Sairaorg.

"Put the armor on, if not you will lose before you get a chance to." Everyone was confused by his words, until Sairaorg and his pawn said at the same time as Alex,

"""Balance break!"""

Sairaorg was then covered in golden light, and his pawn disappeared. When he was seen again, Sairaorg was wearing a golden armor with the motif of a lion and Alex was wearing his usual red. The two looked at each other for a second, then they both disappeared.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!"

A blast echoed out, as the fists of the two collided. Sairaorg who was wearing golden armor, and Alex in red. They had met directly in the center of their previous positions, and the force of their collision had destroyed their surroundings and opened a crater under them. They were there for a second, then they disappeared again.

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

Explosions echoed all around the arena as the two met time and time again. Until the replay was slowed down the majority of the audience couldn't tell what was going on, due to not being able to keep up with their speed. This continued for several minutes, until both of them appeared in their original starting positions. What everyone saw left them stupefied, Sairaorg was holding one of his arms, and there was blood dripping off of it while Alex seemed completely unharmed. Alex then started walking forward, prompting Sairaorg to get into a ready stance once more. Alex then disappeared, and reappeared right in front of Sairaorg, before sinking his fist into his gut.

BOOM

The resulting impact was heard throughout the stadium. No one moved, as Sairaorg bent over from the attack and Alex suddenly brought up his knee into his face. He then jumped and spun around to land his foot against the side of his face. This went on for several minutes, until finally the light surrounded Sairaorg and he started to retire. Before he could he was about to hit the ground, but Alex caught him, all his rage now forgotten, and said,

"It's lonely at the top, I'll keep waiting for the day you catch up and we'll have a rematch." When he heard his words Sairaorg smiled, but disappeared before he could say anything.

***

Back in the vip room Wukong was looking around smugly.

"I told you, this match up especially showed how powerful he is. His biggest problem until now, is the lack of a good teacher. He has only been utilizing small fractions of his strength, and it's only through proper instruction that he can master it." No one answered the old monkey. He then turned to Sirzechs and said,

"Tell me Sirzechs,have you ever seen him use that golden form with the balance breaker?" The red haired Maou could only shake his head. At Wukong's words those who had seen or heard of Alex's golden hair form suddenly had a thoughtful look, as they contemplated how strong this youth actually was.
