After I picked a fight with the chicken I reached out to a few of my friends whom I've hunted with before. I of course called Dante and Andrew so there coming tomorrow, Alex will be coming in three days. But I'm standing outside of the airport terminal in Tokyo to pick up another old friend who I know can help. I went with my truck because they have some equipment for the game. After a few more minutes the automatic doors slid open and a girl with cargo pants and a black long sleeve crop top and red hair walked out of the building.

"Hey John. How have you been?"

"I've been alright all things considered."

Then a blond boy ran out warring something similar to the girl.

"Hey K.P. Where did you go? Oh hey it's my man John!"

"Hey Ron how have you and Kim been these days?"

"We're done really good. We just took down Dr draken in a building made of cheese."

"Huh... must be Wisconsin."

"Actually it was."

"Anyway I have the truck just over here."

"Oh you finished it?"

"Yeah I had lots of time to kill after we broke up."

We got into the truck and I started driving back to kouh. We went through a mc Ronald's drive through on the way. Eventually we reached kouh and Josh set up a place for Kim and Ron to stay. I then went to my trailer and found sona sitting at the table waiting for me.

"Hey sona. Sorry I haven't had the time to visit."

"That's understandable given that your participating in a rating game in a few days."

"Yeah so much to plan so little time."

"Do you have a strategy?"

"I think I have a half decent plan. I fully intend on kicking his ass."

"Would you like to go over your strategy with me?"

"That would be nice. Thanks sona."

We spent the rest of the night working out a strategy for the game.

"So because you're not a devil and don't have a peerage with specific rolls for everyone you have to assign everyone a piece. Obviously your a king and I'd assume Josh is going to be your queen piece in the game. Dante and Andrew are good rooks and Alex would work as a bishop. Kim would work as a bishop and ron would make a good pawn. I see you have another person coming who's that?"

"It's my younger brother Edward. He said he will come this time with his best friend and his girlfriend. All of them are exceptional swordsman."

"Ok so that solves your knights and another pawn so you're going to be fine."

"Of course he'll be fine."

I then loo at the door and see my little brother Edward Flint leaning on the door frame.

Edward Flint

"After all johns so perfect right."

"Thanks for coming Ed I really appreciate your help."

"The whatever. Now that dad can't pick favorites I figured I might as well show him wrong."

He then turned around and went outside. I then seen him walk up to his girlfriend yuki

I then went back to working on the battle strategy. The next day I went outside to fire up the barbecue for everyone. I was flipping burgers when Andrew and Dante show up.

"Hey Casanova how's it going?"

"Hey Andrew I'm alright how's it going."

"Well Dante and I took out a few strays and we where on the hunt for a stray devil nekomatta but she's crafty and kept getting away."

"Ah that one. I've tried hunting her too but she keeps flirting with me and I feel uncomfortable. She somehow always gets away."

Dante then grabbed a burger and sat down.

"She tried tried to defile me..."

"I know I couldn't stop laughing. Here check it out."

Andrew pulled out his phone and showed me a video of Dante getting anime wall slammed by the stray.

"DON'T SHOW HIM!!!"

"Oh my lord... his face is so red... I think he liked it..."

"I DID NOT! PISS OFF!!!"

"He looks so helpless... wait... did she just?"

"Yup!"

The camera then dropped to the ground in the video showing Andrew holding his gut laughing his ass off.

"I didn't think I'd ever see the fabled wall slam... and it was on Dante..."

Andrew and I started laughing and Kim walked out from the house.

"What's so funny guys?"

"Oh hey kimmy just this." Andrew should her the video.

After Kim had a good laugh and everyone sat down at the table to eat together we just started catching up with everyone. We then went to the occult research clubroom to wait for the game to start. Grayfia then walked in with Rias.

"It's almost time I hope your ready for this lord death."

"Did she just call you lord death?"

"Andrew she knows about my sacred gear."

"Does she know about ours?"

"Yes lord vatheos holder of the sacred gear for storage. You can fill it with whatever you want and it will never be full. That makes you Famine of the horsemen. Lord Ritter with the sacred gear pestilence that sword poisons it's victim. Your the horsemen pestilence. And lord Angelo you have the sacred gear that boosts your physical abilities in combat but makes you very board unless your in combat your the horsemen war."

"Wow she does know us..."

"And lord Joshua it's a pleasure to see you again."

"Likewise grayfia it's nice to see you too."

"And you must be Edward Flint the wielder of the sword of time. And I didn't expect someone of the hero faction to be here today."

"Yeah yuki and I met when I joined the hero faction when I was a kid."

"So can we get this show on the road? I have a chicken to hunt."

"Of course. As a rule that lord riser added that you will not be allowed to use holy weaponry in the rating game."

"I refuse that request of his. Most of our weapons are holy. It would be like telling him he is forbidden to using Phoenix tears in the game. No we're using whatever weapons we want."

"Very well lord death. I will inform lord Lucifer and we will proceed with the rating game."

Then a magic circle appears in the room.

"That's the sigil of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse... so they really are the horsemen..."

"Yes lady Rias. You have powerful friends."

We then stepped into the circle.

"We're ready. Send us in."

We then got teleported into the arena and it looked exactly like kouh academy like grayfia said it would.

"Okay Andrew you and Dante are going to the gym hopefully you guys can lure a few devils into the gym before you guys get out so Josh can blow it to hell. Josh after you destroy the gym you gotta keep the chicken queen occupied or eliminate her if you can. Edward I need you to cover the perimeter with Alex set traps if you need to. Yuki I need you to play defense today we can't let a Phoenix pawn get in are territory if they do they can promote and our jobs get a lot harder. Kim I need you and ron to do some recon. I need to know where everyone is going. Everyone grab a earpiece and a radio. Andrew and Dante your channel 3 Ed you and Alex are on 2 Josh your channel 5 Kim your on 4 I'll be on 1 yuki your going to be on 1 as well because I'll have you as a bodyguard for a bit. Any questions?"

Everyone looked ready. Grayfia then told everyone that the game has begun and everyone ran to their positions.

"This is going to be a interesting game."
