After leaving the training grounds it was already the afternoon
Drenched in sweat Rias orders her peerage to clean themselves up and prepare for dinner
With Rias
I need to get stronger before I'm ready to fight riser…
I didn't want to tell me peerage but there just isn't enough time
While deep in her thoughts she fails to notice the golden eyed blonde look down on her from above and heads to hot springs to meet up with Akeno and Koneko
"Wryyyy…"
With Rias and co after washing
"Already everyone! Dinner is served"
"Fried rice?"
Kiba asks, his master has never made this before
"Yes, I wanted to try something different-"
Step
Step
Step
""!""
Footsteps appear from seemingly out of nowhere
And a familiar voice speaks up
"Well then, it must be a special occasion"
"D-Dio?"
"When did you"
Before Rias can finish Dio seemingly vanishes and reappears behind her with his index finger against her temple
His nail piercing just enough to draw out a streak of blood
"!"
"Heh, you already lost"
Swoooosh
Kiba immediately rushes in to assist his king
But, he's back at the table?
"Huhhh? What's wrong Prince Charming?"
"Have you chosen to retreat realizing you're outmatched"
Dio says in such smug way it reminds Rias of him
He continues
"Perhaps you have chosen to-"
*ZAPPPP*
Before he finishes Akeno strikes him with enough lightning to power a village and sends him flying out the window of the cabin
"What the hell was that!? How did he vanish and reappear behind you? I didn't even sense a rise in magic, now that I think about, I can't sense any magic coming from him at all"
The distressed queen barrages her king with questions that she doesn't even have a answer too
"He could've killed you if he wanted."
The white haired loli says in a monotone but cold tone while glaring at the hole Dio was sent flying out of
Noticing Dio getting up Kiba reminds them of the current situation
"Thats not important right now, we have to deal with him first"
As the smoke fully dissipates Rias and her peerage are able to see the full of Akenos attack
"How is he even standing?"
Rias asks her queen
"I-I'm not sure"
Her queen replies visibly shaken
She put her all into that attack after all, he almost killed her bestfriend and savior so of course she was pissed
Dios body was charred his hair was in patches and he was missing most of his face
But then they witness something that shook them to their cores
Rias the most of all because
"HE REGENERATED?!"
Kiba shouts
"J-just like…"
"RIAS! Now's not the time"
Her queen realizing where she was getting at and snapping her out of it
"What? You truly can't believe such an attack could even harm I, Dio"
Now Rias was pissed and her aura flared to show it
And her queen couldn't blame her
Actually after Dio said that, her whole peerage became pissed
"Well don't tell me you're just gonna send me mean looks"
"You bastardddd!"
Kiba charges him but returns to his previous spot once again
"!"
How does he do that?
Rias thought to herself
"Wanna try again?"
Dio gives him a smug look
Tch
"I'll show you!"
"KIBA!"
Rias stops her knight
"We don't know the full capability of his abilities, you rushing in blindly is foolish"
"Oh? So you do have a brain inside of that overly large cranium"
"Childish insults won't work on me you cheap knockoff"
Her peerage snickered at this remark
But Dios smug smirk never disappeared infact it got even smugger
"I'm not sure what you mean by knockoff and I honestly don't care, I'm here to prove a point"
"And what would that be?"
Akeno chimes in
Dio appears infront of her seemingly instantaneously once again
"!"
"That no one disrespects Dio and walks away!"
*BOOOM*
A hole appears inside Akenos abdomen and she's sent flying
"AKENOOO!"
Rias screams her queens name
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
Kiba rushes Dio summoning two swords one made of fire and one made of ice
"Koneko quick, go and check on akeno!"
"Mm"
Nodding her head the loli dashes with all her speed to check on her injured friend
Whilst Rias glows with crimson aura and destruction
"I'll fucking destroy you"
As Kiba swings down on Dio with the sword made of fire it's suddenly stopped by an invisible force
No…
Something grabbed it!
"Tch, I still have this!"
He screams while swinging the sword of ice at Dios neck
Again something grabbed that one too
"You just don't learn do you"
"W-what-"
"You just can't compare to the might of DIO!"
"NOW DIE!"
Dios swing his hand aiming to puncture kibas skull but he's blasted away by a ball of destruction
"Buchou!-"
"Yuto… stay out of the way"
"Huh?!"
He had never seen his queen so angry yet so calm before she didn't even look at him with this much hatred
Dio regenerating his damaged side speaks up
"Oh? Do you want to dance as well?"
Dio gives the same smug smile and it reminded her of Riser and she HATED it
"I'll fucking destroy you."
"Hah! You're approaching me, rather than fleeing with your companions you're coming right to me"
"I can't erase your face from existence without getting closer."
She replies coldly
"Hah hah, then come as close as you like"
