Before either side began their planning, everyone was asked to change into a skin tight suit which would register each hit from the guns that they were provided, kiba moving to another room due to being the only guy
"This kind of resembles my normal battle suit anyway so this doesn't bother me" commented Xenovia as she zipped up the suit
"It is a lovely color, although it might cause us to stand out a bit" noted Rias, all of the suits being crimson in color to match her hair
"I wonder what color Sona's peerage will be wearing" wondered Blaze as she went over to the gun rack to select her weapon, all of the pistols being the same in order to make it fair for both sides
"My guess would be a nice light blue, it suits her water abilities, stands out just as much as the red that we are wearing and I imagine that Serafall will have asked for it to be made that color considering that the one time that she managed to convince Sona to dress up as a magical girl with her when they were younger, Sona wore a light blue magical girl costume and Serafall has been trying to make her wear clothes of the same color ever since" giggled Akeno
"Rias could you help me for a second?" Koneko asked shyly
"Sure, what's up?"
"Can you help me make a hole for my tail" she blushed
"Of course I can" Rias smiled, creating a small moon blade and using it to cut a small hole in Koneko's suit
"All of you look wonderful in your suits" Caspera praised "the way they show your body lines is a work of art"
"Alright now that we are all ready we should start planning" Rias declared as Kiba returned to the room "Kiba, you Xenovia and Blaze will scout the field as our fastest members, try to find the weapons and the armor as they will give us an advantage, Koneko, you will look around the area closest to the base and discover what you can, Caspera, you will split into bats and stay with each member of the group, although this will increase the number of targets that Sona's group can hit it will also allow you to recover the hit points of anyone who needs it at any time so long as you don;t get hit, Akeno you are with me, we will use an illusion to disguise as each other, this will draw their fire more to you, which if we are able to find the queen pistol you will be able to use their attack in order to counter attack"
"Got it" everyone replied
"Now then my cute servants, let us show Sona that we will win this fight" Rias declared as the hour planning time finally ended and the buzzer signalling the true start of the battle rang out
As everyone got moving Blaze was able to hear Akeno whisper to Rias teasingly "Would you like me to help you pad your bra while I wear a wrap around my chest, you know I'm bigger than you"
"I've been growing not just in power but also bust size since Blaze and I started getting intimate, don't think that you'll always be bigger than me" Rias retorted
"You're the one responsible for that aren't you?" Blaze questioned Herm, looking down at her crotch
"Don't act like you don't like it, even a blind man could tell that you are getting hard from the thought" Herm replied with a snicker
"I reserve the right to remain silent" Blaze blushed, her bulge in her suit obviously bigger and harder than it was before she heard Rias and Akeno talking
Using their speed Kiba, Xenovia and Blaze ran in seperate directions, doing their best to remain in cover as they checked the field
"Either of you find anything?" Blaze asked after a while
"Nothing on my end" replied Kiba
"Me neither.... wait, I just found what seems to be armor, it must be the one for the rooks" Xenovia answered
"What's your current location?" Rias asked "I will send Koneko to you"
"I'm near the center, there's a problem though, the armor is in the middle of an open plain and if any of us go out there and Sona's peerage is nearby they will be able to take any one of us out easily" Xenovia continued
"Understood, keep your position, if we are able to find the guns for the knights we could instead use the armor in the same way and use it to trap Sona's peerage" Rias commanded "Koneko, are you able to use your powers in order to find any of the weapons"
"Sorry Buchou, the weapons have no life force so I am unable to sense them, but I can sense Sona's peerage, they seem to be moving in a very specific manner" Koneko answered
"How so?"
"The knight Meguri-san is moving in a straight line in specific direction, as if she knows something is there, I can also faintly sense something floating in the air but it doesn't seem to be a living creature but there are multiple of them and they all seem to be linked to the bishop Kusaka-san" Koneko replied
"It couldn't be" Blaze murmered quietly "Koneko, where is the nearest thing that you can sense to me?" Blaze inquired
"It seems to be a couple of meters to your right" Koneko responded
With Koneko's instructions Blaze put power into her legs, enveloping them in touki and shrouding herself in lighting in order to be able to move as fast as possible, quickly reaching the point that Koneko had told her
"Shit" Blaze spat out as she found herself face to face with a floating mask with a grinning face "Azazel has been giving them artificial sacred gears"
"Artificial sacred gears!" shouted the commentator, parroting Blaze's words "could you explain what she is talking about Gouverneur Azazel?" he said point his mic in his direction
"Hahaha" laughed Azazel "consider it something that I made to heat up this challenge even more, and look forward to even more to come, for example this is my current masterpiece, the Blazer Shining or Darkness Samurai Sword, and it can be yours for the small price of 1 million dollars, I accept cash and card" he said proudly
"This is going to make things so much more difficult" Blaze sighed, punching the mask to destroy it, all while wondering how far Azazel's research had progressed and what kind of sacred gears her and Rias's team would be facing.
