## Summary

Thanatos and members of his Militant Faction seek to infiltrate the Rating Game venue at Fafnir Stadium, forcing Team Red Dragon Emperor of the Blazing Truth and Slash/Dog Team to team up in hopes of repelling them.

## Prelude

Koneko Toujou was targeted by a group of Grim Reapers, who were later revealed part of Thanatos' Militant Faction. After Team DxD determined that they were after her and her sister Kuroka, due to their parents research into Super Devil, Team DxD took a defensive stance in order to protect her. Tobio Ikuse used his connections to learn that Thanatos would be targeting the Rating Game venue where the sisters where participating, the Slash/Dog team joined forces with Team Red Dragon Emperor of the Blazing Truth in order to protect the match.

## History

Bova Tannin and Ouryuu Nakiri were patrolling the external perimeter of the venue, arriving at a small park that was not far from the venue where they encountered a group of Grim Reapers. The Grim Reapers offered to spare the two if they let them pass, with the two refusing as they began to fight the Grim Reapers.

At development area close to the venue, in a shopping district was under construction, the members of the Slash/Dog team, a group consisting of members of the Team Red Dragon Emperor of the Blazing Truth (Xenovia, Irina, Asia, and Elmenhilde) and Bennia Orcus gathered to defend the area. A group of Grim Reapers arrived but were promptly frozen by Lavinia Reni's Sacred Gear, as Minagawa Natsume and Samejima Kouki transformed their Fiends into their true form, with Xenovia and Irina unsheathing their holy swords as they began to battle and destroy the frozen Grim Reapers.

At the parking lot that was attached to the venue, Tobio Ikuse faced off against a Ultimate-class Grim Reaper, easily defeating it after transforming into his Balance Breaker, killing it and harvesting it's soul. After defeating the Ultimate-class Grim Reaper, Tobio faced off against a group which consisted of about a hundred Grim Reapers.

As Thanatos approached the venue, he was forcibly transported to a wilderness area that was a far distance away from [Fafnir Stadium], with Rossweisse using barrier magic to prevent Thanatos from escaping and Bina assisted her, as the two would only enter the fight if Issei defeated. Issei and Thanatos began to fight as Thanatos swung his large scythe down and Issei charged forward, firing off several Dragon Shots, which Thanatos dodged. Issei kept firing Dragon Shots all of which Thanatos dodged, leaving behind afterimages. Thanatos swung his scythe, and Issei quickly evaded it as the scythe cut through the ground’s surface. Issei charged towards Thanatos, and began to punch him when the two came face to face, though Issei kept hitting afterimages instead. Issei extended Ascalon and enhanced it with [Penetrate], with Thanatos moving back to avoid the attack as Issei launched Crimson Blaster, which Thanatos dodged as he circled around behind Issei. Issei's Ascalon clashed with Thanatos' scythe, as Thanatos complimented Issei's power but told him he cannot beat him in his **Cardinal Crimson Promotion** form. Issei then transformed into **Pseudo Diabolos Dragon**, as charged straight towards Thanatos with a aura-coated fist, which Thanatos avoided. Issei began to chase Thanatos, and threw punches and kicks at him at close range whilst moving at a godlike speed, and while Thanatos dodged Issei's attacks, though he didn't have room to breathe due to the power of Issei attack, which even deformed his scythe. Thanatos used his afterimages to confuse Issei and attack him with his scythe, though he couldn't deal any damage do to Issei's armor's high defense, with Issei avoiding having his lifespan reduce by the power of infinity protecting his soul. Issei attempted to use Infinity Blaster but Thanatos' last attack had sealed Issei's cannons with magic, as Issei attempted to blast Thanatos with a large Dragon Shot, which Thanatos dodged. Issei's Pseudo Dragon Deification was undone due to the 10-second period being over, as Thanatos retaliated with a scythe which destroyed a large portion of Issei's armor though the power of infinity protecting his soul still prevented his soul from being harvested by Thanatos. Issei's grandfather's soul appeared in the Boosted Gear and helped Issei use a new breast technique; ***Nyuutron Beam Cannon***, on Rossweisse's breast as the power source, shooting out a large beam of destructive energy which severely damaged Thanatos, defeating him.

## Conclusion

Thanatos was taken into custody by Sairaorg Bael and Dulio Gesualdo and transferred to Ajuka Beelzebub's interrogation unit as the members of Team DxD successfully defended the Rating Game, allowing the match to finish uninterrupted.
