Balance breaker

Alex had continued training for a little over a week, while waiting for Kiba to contact him. His goal was to reach balance breaker before the fight with Raiser, but even though he had long reached the required strength, he also needed a stimulus to activate it, a sort of change. As for the super Saiyan form, he still had a ways to go before obtaining that one. He was disappointed in himself for not reaching the deadline he had set.

The majority of his status also stayed the same considering it was taking longer to level each skill nowadays. The only thing he made any real progress on, was the flame manipulation skill. It allowed him to control flames, even if they weren't his own. He had started to use fire magic and manipulate it into various forms to learn control. This was all the real progress he had made, until he received a letter from Kiba.

His letter said that they lost the match like Alex predicted, and the envelope contained a sheet of paper with a magic circle on it to help him get to the underworld. He then told his parents that he was staying over with a friend, and made his preparations to go into battle. The reason he was being so cautious about this fight, was that he wasn't sure if Raiser would be the only one he had to fight as he was an outsider.

Using the magic circle, Alex finally arrived at the underworld for the first time. Kiba had been unable to arrange for the jump to go into the palace the party was in, so Alex was in the city nearby. He was thinking about how he was going to attack, when they played a broadcast of the rating game. He watched out of curiosity, and saw some things he predicted, others he didn't.

For instance, Rias lost of course, but it appeared Raiser gave his peerage direct orders not to retire any of Rais's peerage. Akeno, Kiba, Koneko, and Asia, were all dragged to the spot that Rias had challenged Raiser. Raiser then directly threatened to murder every member of her peerage if she didn't submit to him. Deaths in the games did occasionally occur, but they were counted as accidents. He recalled Raiser tried this same tactic with issei in the series.

Rias of course submitted in order to preserve their lives. Raiser then walked over to her and wrapped one of his arms around her and started fondling her right then and there. He then used his other hand to grab her chin and lifted her mouth to meet his. Something in Alex snapped at that moment.

Rias was in the dressing room wearing the dress they had picked out for her. It was designed to match the house of Pheonix. She had dead eyes as they got her ready for the engagement party. Part of the reason was because of the fact that Raiser had purposely humiliated her publicly. The other was the fact that he had also came and told her that after the party was over he was going to make sure she knew she was his woman when he took her purity.

Of course she would have to continue playing her part for this farce. For good measure Raiser had also threatened Alex if she ever failed cooperate. But she didn't know how long she would be able to continue acting like this. How many thousands of years would she have to be with a man that made it his goal to make her miserable?

She then thought back to how Alex said that he was like a dragon that would kidnap the princess, instead of a hero that saved her. She desperately wished that was the case right now. She was then told that it was time, and left to join the party with what she hoped was a passable act.

Sirzechs watched as his little sister joined the engagement party with dead eyes. She tried to look as if she was enjoying herself, but he knew better. He had hoped that there would be a good alternative to Raiser, someone she would want to be with, but there's was only that human that she went to school with. He also noticed that there was something unique about him, but he figured that if he was that impressive then Rias would have made him a member of her peerage already. The fact that she hadn't meant that he would more than likely fall short of expectations.

At that moment one of his men came to him with a report, there was someone breaking into the castle and headed towards the party. He wondered what kind of idiot would try to crash the party that even had a maou in attendance. He was about to ask Grayfia to intervene, when the doors suddenly crashed open. A swarm of guards attacked the intruder, but we're all defeated almost instantly. Sirzechs looked and saw what looked like a youth in dark red armor, radiating an oppressive energy. The helmet disappeared, and he had a look of surprise on his face as he recognized the youth.
