After the defeat of Francesca, Debiddo and the team meet up with the rest of their team who are standing by the entrance to Francesca's castle. "I can't believe I got caught by something like that!" Himawari says. "I hope I didn't do anything crazy. "Actually you and kori went crazy for me," Debiddo says rubbing his head, "I didn't know you guys liked me like that. Geeze, I don't know if I am flattered or afraid." Debiddo says placing his hands on both of their shoulders.

"Wait, we lusted after you?" Kori says as she looked at Himawari. Both of them end up looking at Debiddo and start beating him up as everyone else laughs looking on. "Ok guys lets get moving, everyone is waiting," Daruri says wiping the tears of laughter from his eyes. "Yes sir!" Everyone says as they salute. "Yes sir..." Debiddo says with his face swollen from the punches. They make it to the next gate to see Brock and the rest of the crew. Debiddo looks over at Gus and notices his face swollen from being beat-up by an embarrassed Jesson.

"So I see, you guys had the same problem we had," Daruri says as he looks at the beaten Gus. "Yeah, but it was Brock who saved all of us," Issho says as he pats Brock on the back. "This no problem, Demon lady gone by way of Brock's Boulder now." Brock says laughing. "Well then I guess it's time for us to go to the next gate." Bolt says as he walks up to the castle. "My guess is that the next gate is in this castle," Himawari says as she touches the door. The group proceeds in entering into the castle only to find themselves caught in a tunnel. "Wait...what happened?" Debiddo asks as he looks around the tunnel. "It seems like we got teleported to the next gate's entrance," Mizu says as he starts to shiver.

"Hey, isn't it getting colder down here?" Gus says as he sneezes from the constant shivering. As they walk deeper into the tunnel, they notice their breath starts to become visible, and frost starts to develop on the stone surface of the tunnel. "Why is so cold if we are in hell?" Debiddo says as he tries warm up. "Hell has different levels. Some are hot, some are murky, and some are cold. This is one of them." Daruri says as he looks up ahead. "Look, it's the gate. We got to make sure we get through this gate quickly and efficiently." "Right," Everyone says as Daruri opens the door. The door at first doesn't open due to the door being frozen, however with the help of Raphael warming up the door with his heat, they are able to open it.

When the team opens up the door, they are met with an intense cold. The ground is covered in slush and the landscape is covered in pure white snow. As everyone walks through the gate, they look in horror as they see the frozen carcasses of demons lay over the slush-covered ground. Other demons, with small cave-in stomachs, bloodshot red eyes and pale white skin, gather around the carcasses feasting on the remains. Just trying to survive in this frozen wasteland. "Oh my goodness, this is horrible," Himawari says as she holds her mouth in shock. Some of the team just look away in horror while others stare at the site with disgust. Gus ends up vomiting on the ground from the sight of it. "This is terrible, do they really need to suffer like this?" Debiddo says looking at two demons fighting over the leg of another. "This is the way of the gate of gluttony," Daruri says as he walks past a dead body.

"These humans in their lifetime overindulge in food, drinks, and their addictions in the world above, placing such things above all important things including their fellow man. So this is their punishment. To live in constant hunger in cold slush, just trying to survive in this harsh climate." Daruri then proceeds to walk onward while everyone else is still in shock. Eventually, everyone else follows him and proceeds onward. Lurking in some mountains close by is some stronger looking demons who watch the group as they walk towards Cia's throne. "Hey Daruri," "Bolt says as looks toward the direction of the mountains.

"Yeah, they have been following us for a while," Daruri says as he prepares his Genki. "Alright come on out!" when Daruri says that, the three demons that were hidden in the dark-coated mountains, came out of hiding and appeared in front of the team. "So I guess you saw us...well there is no need to watch you guys anymore." One demon says. "Who are you guys and what do you want?" Debiddo says to demons. "Oh, we are just some hungry demons who are looking for our next meal." The second demon says. "Oh, so you are coming for us?" Bolt says as he activates his Genki. "Oh noo, we are waiting." The third demon says. "Waiting on what?" Himawari says confused. All three demons point in the direction of the Cia's throne.

The ground starts to shake as a large three-headed-dog walk towards the team. "It's Cerberus!" Gus says in fear. "Why is she here? Ain't she supposed to be near Cia?" "If she is here then that means we are close to Cia's palace." Kori says as everyone stands back. All of a sudden, Cerberus roars, causing the team to get pushed back. "Oh, it seems my baby found some new chew toys." A voice says out in the distance. Everyone turns around in shock as they see Cia walking toward Cerberus, petting her, giving her affection. Cerberus panting her tongue with joy, starts to lick Cia's face. "Everyone looks with confusion as they see Cia's little stature." "This little girl is the guardian of gluttony?" Himawari says in confusion. "It's nothing but a little brat. "Hey, this brat is 1000 years old meanies!" Cia says as she throws a mini tantrum. "This is going to be easy." Bolt says as everyone gets ready to fight. "Hey, you guys get going through the gate. I'll take her on." Poketo says to everyone.

"Huh?" Everyone says in unison. "Wait, why Poketo?" Himawari says. "Yeah that is totally reckless and dangerous to fight a demon alone, and don't forget those three demons that are literally watching our very moves," Daruri replies. "Look, we still got 6 more circles to get through. If all of us waste our time and energy fighting all demons of each level, by the time we get to the demon king we would be completely out of energy. So it only makes sense that we split up and take on each of the demons in small groups, so that way we can minimize the risk of us losing." "well, I guess you make a point." Daruri responds, "However, you are not going to fight her alone. Jesson and Roki, stay behind and back him up. The rest of us will move on. Also, one more thing...Please don't die."

"Yes Sir!" Jesson, Crystal, and Poketo say in unison as they salute Daruri. "Alright everyone moves on out!" Daruri says as Debiddo approaches Poketo. "Alright man, take care of business," Debiddo says as he fist-bumps Poketo. "No doubt, we will take care of her and be there with you guys in no time flat." Poketo responds. The rest of the team tries to escape, however, Cia creates a wall of ice to block them. "Where do you think you guys are going?" Cia says as she eats a piece of demon meat. "We still didn't have dinner yet." Daruri then backs up slowly and approaches Debiddo and Crystal. "I need both of you to make a distraction..."He says as he whispers to both of them his plan. "Heh, I got you," Debiddo says to daruri. "It's not a terrible plan." Crystal replies as she produces a crystal shield. Debiddo then uses his light energy to create a blinding light that gives the team enough time to escape. "Ahhh my eyes!" Cia says as she rubs her eyes.

"Hey, bozos! Don't just stand there, get them!" The three demons try to pursue them just to get stopped by a wall of Fire. "I don't think so," Poketo says to Cia. "We are your opponents now!" "Oh? Well since you want an early death, I'll happily oblige." The team gets ready to fight. The three demons stand in front of Cia while she sits on her pet Cerberus' back. "Kill them," Cia says to the three demons who proceed to attack the team. Demon number 1. creates an earthquake that causes the ground to split under the, however the team jumps out of the way. Poketo uses his fire to attack the demons however, Demon number 2 blows a powerful gust of wind towards the fire attack which ultimately neutralizes it. "Crystal uses her water and ice abilities to create an ice path that she uses to fire her barrage of ice attacks at demon's 1 and 2.

Demon number 3 jumps on top of the ice path and grabbed Crystal by her face and toss her into the slush. Poketo and Jesson then charged in and tries to strike demon 3, however they are stopped in their tracks as demon number 1 hits a lariat to the both of them causing them to fall backward. "These demons are tough," Poketo says spitting blood out of his mouth. "Yeah, but we are tougher." Crystal replies as the team powers up. Further down the frozen wasteland, Debiddo and the rest of the chasers have made it to the next gate. "We should wait for the rest of them to finish beating Cia," Debiddo says. "No, we should continue to press on," Daruri replies.

"Wait what? Are you seriously going to leave them to fight all those threats alone?" Debiddo says angrily. Daruri stays quiet. "Are you telling me, we are supposed to move on and let those guys just get killed. I'm sorry but I can't let that just happen." All of the sudden bolt stops Debiddo by punching him in the face. "Hey! What the hell Bolt!" Debiddo says as he gets up ready tomorrow fight. "Shut it Debiddo! Are you really downplaying our team strength?" Bolt says as Debiddo stayed quiet with a look of disbelief on his face. Those are your teammates! They trained and fought battles just as hard as you. You running to save them will be just like spitting in their face, and tarnishing their honor."

"I hate to agree with Bolt for brains, but he is right. Do not underestimate our teammates, Jesson is quick-tempered and sometimes rash, but she has incredible strength and speed to match." Mizu says as he walks up to Debiddo. "Yes, and my subordinate crystal is the best at using her water and ice Genki thanks to me and my incredible training sessi..." "Also Poketo isn't just a weakling. You showed me that Debiddo" Raphael says as he interrupts Kori. Himawari places her hand on Debiddo's shoulders. "As you can see, the others trust that they will return..Will you do the same?" "...Yeah," Debiddo says reluctantly. "Ok then, let's move on to the next gate. The rest of them will catch up to us." Daruri says opening the gate. "I am still against this, and I really feel like this is a bad idea....but, I guess I have no choice but to put my trust in them." Debiddo says walking toward the rest of the crowd while looking toward the direction of the other team. 

Back to where the other team is fighting the three demons, the group faces them, exhausted and badly wounded, but with intensity in their eyes. They continue to charge with a battle cry. "Hahaha, You chasers don't know when to give up don't you," Cia says as she eats some grapes on top of Cerberus. "We are not going to give up!" Poketo says as his spiritual energy surges. "It's irritating, but I guess we have no other choice!" Crystal says as half of her face starts to frost over. "Yeah! We are going to end this!" Jesson says as she leads the charge. "Yes, let's end this! We are starving!" Demon 2 says as all the demons start their charge. Poketo uses his steam Genki to produce a blinding smokescreen that confuses the three demons. "What is going on? Do you think you can defeat us by hiding in some steam? Demon 2 says as he blew the steam away just to see clones of the group surrounding the demons. "Lorelei Art: Crystal Mirror!" crystal chants. Each demon tries to takeout a clone only to have the clone shatter. "Where are you!?" Demon 3 growls.

Demon 1 then creates an earthquake to cause all the clones to shatter, leaving a mist surrounding the three demons. "This isn't going to stop us!" Demon 3 says as he looks around trying to find the group. "We know... this is just a distraction." Crystal says as she then freezes the mist around the three demons locking them in place. "Let us go!" Demon 2 screams out. "No way," Poketo says as he creates more water to freeze their entire body. Demon 3 tries to heat the ice with his fire breath however, it is too late. Jesson charges a punch causing spiritual energy to spiral in her fist. "This is my clan's ancient technique! FALCON SLICE!" Jesson, with incredible speed, slice through all three frozen demons cleanly causing their bodies to disintegrate. "Oh incredible, you guys' teamwork is awesome!" Cia says as she jumps off of Cerberus. "However, can you do the same to me?" Cia's spiritual energy radiates so much that it causes the surrounding area turns into mountains of ice. "So much energy..." Crystal says trying to catch her breath.

"Yeah...but we can't give up! We got to make sure that Debiddo and the others make it to the next gate!" Jesson says powering back up. "Enough talk! let's take down this pipsqueak!" Poketo says causing his spirit energy to soar again. The group of Poketo, Jesson, and Crystal stand proudly as they face the threat of Cia the glutton, and the three-headed hellhound, Cerberus. Back at the next gate, Debiddo and the others open the gate, and with opening this gate, they feel an ominous presence. "Hey Bolt, do you sense that?" Debiddo says as he takes a step back." "Yeah," Bolt replies. "This energy is on a whole different level. "Impossible, to think there is this much pressure at the entrance of the gate. We actually may have a fight on our hand inside this gate. Daruri says as he starts to sweat with nervousness.
