Son was in the wastelands, walking all beat up with burns and injuries from his battle against sorata. As he was walking lifelessly, he was having an inner dialogue saying "How long have I been walking now? Its been two hours since i got knocked out, at the end... I couldn't beat saito. There was just too much gap of power between us. Guess all that training was for nothing." He looks around and realizes that he's in the middle of nowhere, son then asks himself "I wonder how the others are doing. Who am I kidding, for all I know... they could be dead. We'd be lucky if we all survived this war." He collapses on the floor while losing consciousness, he continues to say "I wonder if dad is alive. Nah, he's most likely at deaths door. With the type of hatred saito had for him, no doubt he's dead.", son then passes out on the floor. Meanwhile, alex and kazuki were still having a devastating battle as they kept on creating massive explosions in the course of fighting zodia who seemed to be having fun while fighting them. While they were fighting at full power, alex was creating balls of energy and launching then at zodia. Zodia was flying at top speed while being able to dodge and cut through them. As one of alex's attacks were heading towards him, he uses his reflection technique to reflect the attack somewhere else, which caused a devastating explosion. Zodia just smiles as he says "Your powers seems to be growing stronger, but it's still not enough." Alex comes flying at light speed, as he gathers a huge amount of energy to his fists and lands a punch on zodia. Zodia catches the punch and with a smile, he says "Oh? So you want yo go blow for blow now? Fine by me". Alex and zodia started to move around at an incredible speed, while being able to fight at close range combat. A powerful amount of demonic energy bursts out of Alex's fists as he yells "Energy fist plus 100 :Strength of a million men" in which the massive power flowing through his hands turns to a dark colour and starts to go berserk. Alex dashes towards zodia at an insane level of speed with the intention to punch him. Zodia seems excited but was able to dodge his blow, alex ended up hitting the ground, with the impact of the blow being strong enough to cause a huge earthquake,
also making the ground to blow up. Alex started to go wild as he was throwing a barrage of punches at zodia, but zodia was able to dodge all of them continuously with just a smile. Zodia ended up catching one of alex's punches and then tells him "Here, take this."and punches alex on so hard that he flew across countless mountains. While alex was trying to regain his balance, a ball of energy comes flying his direction, causing a greater explosions after hitting him. Kazuki on the other hand was gathering a massive amount of purple lightning, in the process, a circle made out of lightning appeared below him. Suddenly, two pillars of purple lightning appear beside him with magic circles also made of lightning. They blast a huge amount of lighting at zodia, but zodia was not fazed as he just smiles and was able to tank the huge lightning attack in which caused a powerful explosion out of lightning. Zodia teleports behind kazuki as he and kazuki start to go blow for blow with lightning starting to strike the entire battlefield due to their fight. Zodia kicks kazuki which sent him flying. While kazuki was sent flying, he creates huge lightning arrows and starts to throw them at zodia. Zodia seeing this smirks as he just launches himself in air and punches one of the lightning arrows. While he clashed with one of the lightning arrows, this caused huge discharge of lightning to flow around the entire battlefield. Zodia with a crazy smile on his face ends up punching the attack somewhere else. The other barrage of lightning arrows come flying at him, but zodia just flies towards them at top speed and starts to kick and punch them away. Another lightning arrows comes flying at him, but he just grabs it while smiling. Kazuki is extremely shocked and flabbergasted at this point. Zodia then yells in excitement "Here, you can have this back!"and throws it at kazuki. Kazuki tries to avoid it, but zodia uses his reflect technique to accelerate the speed of the lightning arrow. This ends up blasting kazuki, causing him to yell in pain, kazuki was falling to the ground but then see's zodia above him. Zodia launches the final blow at kazuki, causing him to crash to the ground. Kazuki was on the floor utterly defeated but, zodia walks up too him and asks "Is that all you have? I thought you'd have more but I was wrong." Kazuki just smiles and says "Caught you right were we want you, fuck nigga!". Zodia looks to the sky and see's alex with giant balls of lava falling towards him, see's kazuki above him with giant purple balls of flames and countless lightning arrows. As they were falling towards zodia, zodia just smirks as time simply just stops. While time had completely stopped, zodia just switches places with alex and kazuki. He begins to walk to a safe distance and unpauses time. After time stated to play again, alex and kazuki realizes that they are about to get hit by their own attacks. They both looked utterly shocked, the faces they made was that of two men who knew they were screwed. They both got hit by their of attacks which caused a huge explosion of fire and lightning, completely wiping the battlefield. While a huge explosion was occurred with flames everywhere, zodia was just watching the place burn with his eyes glowing blue. The explosion ceases and zodia realized that kazuki was shielding himself and Alex with his forcefield. Zodia was very impressed and says to them "You kids are still standing? Nice, really nice! You boys have outdone yourselves, but.... how long are you going to keep this up? I'm getting tired you know." Alex and kazuki are completely beat up, kazuki's lightning armour begins to fade away while alex's demon inferior form *(Second stage) is also going away. At this point the two of them had ran out of ideas.
