Alex, kazuki and serena were walking down the streets of the city, alex tells kazuki "I berely see you around you know? What have you been up too?", kazuki replied "Nothing much. All I've been doing is just patrolling the city. I haven't had any missions since we finished the war, so I use my spare time to look after the city." Serena also adds to the conversation "Same goes for me. I don't even do much, lord veronica only calls me if she needs help taking care of her kid. Either that or I just chill around with sukuna and raquel. Most of the time we don't even see each other as much.", kazuki then asks her "By the way, you have a brother, right serena? I didn't even notice.", serena says "Oh gremy? Yeah he's my little brother, honestly he can be really dumb sometimes, but atleast he isn't weak.", alex just smiles and says "I can agree with that, although he gets carried away easily, especially when he's sure on victory. But he'll make a strong solider.", serena then responded to him "Yeah yeah. I have sparing matches with him every weekend to keep him up on his toes, so I'm not really worried about him strength wise." Kazuki then tells alex "You know, i saw your fight against the class 4B students. I've got to say, you're pretty unhinged.", alex Is abit surprised and asks "Huh? You were watching?", kazuki tells him "From a distance. Veronica sent me to be in Standby for you, she was aware of the fact that you haven't had a good fight in a while, she sent me to keep your excitement in check so you don't do anything too stupid.", alex just sighs and says "Tch, whatever. By the way, have any of you heard from diablo lately?", kazuki just smiles and says "Oh dont worry, he's fine. Let's go check on him tho." Meanwhile at diablo's house, his two year old daughter veldora was crying very loudly, diablo tried calming her down with her toys but nothing seemed to be working "Oh come on, I did not sign up for this. What will it take you to stop crying?", alex, kazuki and serena walking in "Yo diablo.", kazuki greeted. Diablo turned around "Oh hey you guys, didn't expect to see you around.", alex then says "Wow, that kid of yours is loud. What did you do too make her cry like that?", diablo then says "I don't know. She behaves like this when her mom isn't around, it's kinda annoying." Serena then grabs her "I'll take care of her.", valdora stops crying as she instantly starts to laugh when seeing serena, diablo is just tired at this point "Really? That's all it took her to quit crying?", kazuki tries making fun of diablo "Wow, the god of all creation cant handle a kid huh? That's sad.", diablo is abit annoyed and replied "Hey now let's not go there." Few moments later alex and kazuki were sitting in the living room with diablo, "So what's up? Why did come all the way here?", diablo asked, alex says "Nothing really, we just wanted too see you again. We really don't get to see and hear from you as often so we decided to come here. Is it too inconvenient for you?", diablo lays his back on his chair and says "Nah, infact I'm happy my students went out of their free time to say hi too their charming and handsome teacher.", alex then responds with a nervous smile "Dont you think you're pushing it with charming?" Diablo just looks at him and says "Ohh shut it. I'm living my dream life if you ask me. The world seems to be safe for now, atleast I don't have to be worrying about crazy explosions and collapsing buildings. Plus, I can rely on you two too take care of any powerfull threat. The rest of the squad seem to be formidable on their own, my days of looking after this world are over. Now I can go about a normal life." Alex then asks "What do you mean *For now* I thought you said there aren't going to be any powerfull threats for a very long time.", diablo responded "Well i did say that there aren't going to be any powerfull foes like zodia appearing until a couple of years, but you've got to realise time flies, you should know this by now." Diablo's then gets a serious look on his face with his red eyes glowing "Alex, kazuki, stand on your guard. Something crazy is going to be happening soon, don't slack off just because there are peaceful times. The world might be peaceful right now, but if you let that get to you, you'll be too sloppy when something major comes up. Is that clear? I've lost alot of important people in my life, I don't want that happening again with you two." Alex and kazuki are abit shocked "There it is again. That look of seriousness in his eyes, its rear seeing diablo this serious."Alex says to himself, kazuki also says to himself while looking shocked "Diablo is being serious again. It takes alot for diablo to frown like that. Just what is it we are about to face?!" Serena comes in from a room and says "Well I've kept valdora to sleep, so you don't have to worry about her for now. Atleast till veronica comes back." Diablo looks at her and says "Yeah thanks, that was really helpful. And you too serena, i dont get enough time to chat with you unlike the boys. You're strong, so stay alive" He stands up and says "Well I'm about to go take a nap, you guys can come visit me later, okay?", he goes to his room while yawning. Alex, kazuki and serena exit diablo's house and continue to have their chat as they were walking "What was that about?", serena asks, kazuki was having an inner dialogue with himself "Something big is definitely going to happen soon. Really soon.", alex on the other hand was just quiet "Just what the hell.... is going to happen?!", he asked himself.
