There was an explosion of fire that engulfed the two fighters as the unstoppable forces collided together, and so the Immortal Phoenix pitted itself against the Boar and Dragon in one final desperate gamble. As the fire slowly died down everyone gasped as the saw the beast, for the first time in the fight, having been forced to its knees as it removed its wing shields to reveal the numerous wounds covering its body.
In contrast, Riser was on the ground, his body covered with wounds that were slowly closing up even as the Devil himself was struggling to maintain consciousness. Seeing the threat dealt the beast then turned back to Ravel, whom was slowly backing away in horror as the monster began to approach, only to stop as they both heard Riser attempting to stand.
"I may be a disgrace, but even I know better than to hurt a child like that, monster!" snarled Riser as he struggled to his feet, throwing a weak fireball that was canceled out as it hit before placing himself between the monster and his little sister.
The Devil closed his eyes as he saw the spiked wings coming sailing towards him, realizing that with his low power his regeneration wasn't going to be able to heal such grievous wounds. However, the Phenex was confused as the attack never came and he opened his eyes to see the spiked wing hovering just inches from his face as the Nekoshou just stared at him.
Riser met this unblinking stare with one of his own before the Devil was surprised to see the green glow from her eyes fade as the wings seemed to merge back into her body, while the two heads on both shoulders vanished as the dragon woven into her clothes returned to its starting position.
"I see, then perhaps there is some hope for you after all Devil," mused the huntress as the green returned to her clothes and the bow separated from her hand.
"So shall we finish this?" asked the Nekoshou, as she looked down at the two members of the Phenex Clan.
Riser just stared at her face, which seemed to glow in the pale moonlight and giving her a very beautiful yet dignified aura, almost like royalty. The Devil eventually snapped out of his daze once he saw the confused looks the Nekoshou was sending him and smiled as he shook his head.
"I, Riser Phenex, hereby forfeit from this Rating Game," announced the Devil, shocking the crowd into silence.
The huntress just shrugged as she dematerialized Tauropolos and turned to walk away, giving the two Phenex siblings a brief farewell as she headed for the exit. "Hey wait!" called Riser as he rushed over to her, making the Nekoshou spin to face him with a confused expression.
The member of the Phenex clan struggled to speak through the exhausted pants as he felt the energy lost with the fight began to exact it toll. "What's…what's you name?" he asked, breathlessly, struggling to maintain his balance as his sister rushed over to him.
The Nekoshou blinked before a frown of concentration appeared on her face, "I suppose when I'm in this form I should use her name," she muttered, bringing a confused expression to Riser's face.
The Nekoshou them gave him the most beautiful smile Riser had ever seen as she offered him her hand, "my name is Atalanta, descendant of the Chaste Huntress."
Riser just stared at her beautiful face in complete silence as he slowly shook her hand, a faint blush spreading across his face as he did so. The huntress just cocked her head in confusion at this strange behavior before once again turning around and walking away, her form disappearing as the Rating Game came to its end.
"Atalanta," mused Riser, as he rolled the name around his mouth and another blush crept on his face. "What a beautiful name."
Issei sighed in relief as he approached the observation room still in Atalanta's form, happy that he no longer had to keep up the façade and giving a very cat-like stretch as everyone he passed gave the human turned Nekoshou a very wide berth.
{Is pretending to be thy really such a problem?}
'Your speech pattern is just really hard to copy, it's just so old fashioned…so how did I do?' he asked, curiously.
{Thou's aim was off by three millimeters, it was disgraceful!}
'Caring as always Atalanta,' he sighed, still trying to get used to his new centre of gravity, not mention the sensory overlord and new limbs.
[The match would have been over much quicker if you had stuck to using just the bow, partner. Devils are extremely weak to light weapons, especially ones as powerful as that.]
'Wasn't my fault Ddriag, if someone hadn't lost their temper we would have been fine,' sighed Issei.
{I'm not apologizing, thou saw how that man treated them.}
'And you saw how it ended, just give people a chance Atalanta and they will often surprise you. After all aren't you the one who said people always show their true nature under hardship?' replied Issei, smugly.
{Thou…may have a point…I…shalt take that under advisement.}
Issei sighed at the stubbornness of the huntress as he thought back to how Riser had been acting after the match, 'he was acting really strange, I wonder what that was about?'
[Partner, you're an idiot.]
{Thou art not the sharpest blade in the armory.}
'What are you guys talking about?' asked Issei in confusion as he opened the door to the observation room.
Instantly everyone turned to face him with a mixture of wary, happy, excited or just plain fearful expressions on his face. Oddly enough the two parents of Riser were practically beaming at him, while Sirzechs and the rest of the Maou were eyeing him carefully. Everyone was silent, clearly waiting for an explanation.
[So partner, how are you going to get out of this one?]
'Same way I always do Ddraig, I'll wing it,' replied Issei, only to hear bellowing laughter from the dragon while the huntress just gave a sigh.
