As everyone arrives back into the city with the jet still flying in air, the entire squad is shocked to see as the entire city has been destroyed and incinerated. Alex is shocked along side with everyone as serena asks herself who could have done this, as the jet was still in the air, Baraka who was terrified seeing sughi laying down defeated and badly injured as he tells everyone "Yoo I think that's sughi sensei back their". Deo gets an annoyed looks on his face and tries checking it out for himself, but to his surprise he see's sughi who is his elder brother/Teacher laying on the ground with burns and injuries. Few months later in the city, the city was rebuilt back to its former state like nothing happened but meanwhile at the hospital, sughi was covered in bandages in an unconscious condition while deo Was crying beside him. While this was happening, mori and runo were outside the hospital room while hearing deo cry. Meanwhile at alex house while Alex was just laying on his bed and staring at the ceiling, he asks himself what could have happened for the city to have been completely obliterated and who could have done it, he sighs and wonders to himself if sughi is going to be alright. Alex's inner demon then tells him "Hey kid, are you listening at all?!" Alex responds to him "What do you want? I'm not in the mood for your silly tricks. Cant you see I'm not in the mood at all?!". The inner demon tells him "Whatever! By the way you seem extremely down and sad. You do know your emotions have a way of affecting me right?" Alex then says "Why wouldn't I be down?! After that battle we had at the lightning country, we came back and saw the city completely destroyed. Thank God no one got killed." The inner demon then says "It doesn't matter. What you need now is training, and you know why". Alex gets abit confused and asked him what he's talking about and the inner demon responds "You were able to unlock that intense amount of power all by yourself. The form you used to take down kuro. The demon inferior form stage one". Alex then responds telling him "Oh yeah! What about it?! I mean it's not like I have a kill on sight order on me for activating a power that I needed, right?" Alex inner demon then explains "Are you forgetting about the higher ups? Those guys are probably aware of your new power and are thinking of a way to get rid of you. You better start thinking of how you are going to get yourself out of danger or you are fucked", alex sighs as he says that everything will be fine and tells his inner demon to be calm. As Alex tries to take a nap, kazuki knocks at his window and tells him to come outside. While alex and kazuki are discussing at the balcony, alex asks him why he came so early in the morning and kazuki responded to Alex telling him "Its just 9:20 you numb skull. And plus their is something I want to talk to you about!" Alex wondering what kazuki wants to say asks him what the Matter is and kazuki tells him "I heard the city was completely destroyed when you guys came back from the lightning country. And I was thinking.... we don't know when another threat will come so I was thinking that we both should fight and settle this." Alex was abit confused and asks kazuki what he meant by that, kazuki explains to him "Look alex, we both are rivals and want to become the strongest one day. I want both of us to fight and see who is stronger, that way we can try to better our strength and become even more stronger". Alex who understood kazuki's point smiles and tells him "Oh well I see your point." He then smirks as he tells kazuki that they both should go all out and not hold back. In the training fields, son, Raquel, serena, sukuna along with kinto and Baraka were all their to witness the fight between alex and kazuki. Serena sighs as she tells both of them to not get themselves killed by accident, sukuna asks her how she is able to deal with her two team mates and their rivalry. Kinto watching alex and kazuki about to fight each other says "Well its about time they both settled it for once" while Raquel says "I hope this doesn't get out of hand". As alex and kazuki were about to fight, they both stare at each other for a few seconds and then they both rush towards each other as they were able to clash their fists together which caused a forceful breeze and then Alex and kazuki begin to throw punches and kicks at each other for a few minutes. While they were fighting, they were able to block each of their hits as they kept on fighting with hand to hand combat. As serena was watching them, she says to herself "Wow, those two really have gotten good at combat. Especially alex, he wasn't really all that good back then but now... he's really improved" alex then creates a blade of death in order to blasts it at kazuki while kazuki quickly creates his purple flames and uses it to counter Alex's attack which sent them both flying backwards. Alex then activates his energy fists plus 20 and began to flash step at an incredible speed around kazuki. As he was flash stepping while trying to hit kazuki, kazuki was just running and dodging alex as fast as he could and then creates a lightning arrow and launches it at Alex. As this attack was headed towards him, alex uses his energy fist to punch the lightning arrow away which incinerated countless trees. Alex then tells kazuki that he has to do better than that, kazuki smiles as he creates countless numbers of lightning arrows and with a smile on his face, he tells alex that he asked for it.
