"Debiddo, Bolt, are you guys ok?" Himawari says as she runs up to her exhausted teammates. "Yeah...these gates are seriously taxing." Debiddo says as he removes the sludge from his clothes. "That gas sapped almost all of my spiritual energy." Bolt says as he tries to get up. "That gas...Plutus was a very strong demon." Daruri says as he and the rest of the group meet up with Debiddo and their team. "Daruri! You guys finished off the rest of those demons." Himawari says. "Actually once you guys defeated Plutus, the demons scattered away." Issho replies. "I do have a question though. We are taking out these demons that lead these gates, but what about the demons that live here? What will stop them from losing control?" Debiddo says squatting over the dead body of Plutus. "Yeah, you explained the mission to us as if it happens often." Bolt says as he kicks Plutus' body.

"Well, Demon guardians are linked to whoever is the Demon king. Once the demon king is killed, the guardians die and reincarnate to fit the ideals of the next demon king." Daruri says walking past everyone. "Wait doesn't that mean?" Mizu says shocked. "We will have to do this all over again? Kori says annoyed. "Listen...the chaser organization is placing a demon that we chose to take the place of the demon king. We get one of the lesser demons who destined for hell but are not fully evil, and we placed them in the place of the demon king so that the guardians will match the new demon king, and it will make controlling demon breakouts much easier." Around the same time, Daruri says this, back to the gate of gluttony, in a nearby cave, the eyes of an unconscious Poketo opens up to the face of an overly cheery demon who slaps Poketo in the face.

"Wakey Wakey!" The demon says as Poketo screams and falls off the rock he was laying on. "Who are you?" Poketo says as he backs up to the cave wall nearby him. "OH? Where are my manners? My name is Higoro, I was given favor by the chaser organization to be the next demon king here. Poketo looks at the demon's weak stature, pale white skin, and crimson red eyes with confusion." Higoro says as she stretches his hand for Poketo to take it. "You will be the next demon king?" Poketo asks taking the hand to get up. "Yes, I know I don't seem really strong but I guarantee you I can be useful," Higoro says as Poketo looks around the cave and spots an unconscious crystal and Jesson. "Crystal! Jesson!" Poketo says as he runs to them. "Oh yeah them, I saw you guys laying down in the snow bleeding, so I got you all and fixed you up." Higoro says as Poketo holds Crystal in his arms.

"That demon...she was a monster...She took us out like it was nothing. I didn't expect us to get taken out so easily." "Oh, I knew you all would be taken out," Higoro says as he tends to Jesson's wounds. "Wait what do you mean about that?" Poketo says getting offended. "Oh I didn't mean no harm about it, it's just that you guys aren't as strong as you think you are, and your teamwork is terrible. I was following you guys since you first entered hell, and out of all of the whole squad that went through there, you guys were the weakest." Higoro says bandaging Jesson up. "Seriously? After all that training? We still the weakest ones?" Poketo says getting discouraged. "It's not the "strength" aspect I'm talking about. It's your overall fighting spirit." Higoro says walking towards Poketo. "What do you mean by that," Poketo asks.

"You and those two have no true drive in coming through hell. You just thought you could ride through these gates using the other's strengths. Even when you guys were left behind, you guys wanted to just use the other's power to protect yourselves, and not have to do much when it comes to fighting. You had no real intention of fighting together. Simply selfish if I say so myself." Higoro says as Poketo, offended, grabs Higoro by his collar in a fit of anger and frustration. "WELL, HOW DO YOU KNOW HUH? You don't know anything about us!" Poketo then releases his grip on Higoro's shirt and starts tearing up. "We..fought hard..we fought to prove that we were useful." "Was it a "we"? Or was it a "you"?" Higoro says causing Poketo to look up. "You proved my point. You thought about yourself throughout the whole time you fought Cia. Your ideals did not mash with the other two. All three of you have different reasons for fighting, which is fine, but you all let those ideals block your decisions and judgment and instead of defeating her the moment she was weak, you guys froze in fear when you found out she survived the attack. Instead of keep pressing through, even though one of your teammates fell, you buckled in despair." Higoro says as he lit some wood on fire.

"You saw all that from watching us fight?" Poketo asks. "No, I knew from the time you guys met up with Cia that you would lose." Higoro replies. "Well knowing that, why didn't you help us huh? If you can criticize us and our fighting ability, then you could have helped." "This exactly what I'm talking about. Trying to get other people to do your hard work." Higoro says as Crystal and Jesson stir in the background. "I could have helped you yes, however, that wasn't my mission. The chaser organization made it clear that my existence needs to be hidden from the gate guardians. If I was found out, the organization's whole plan would be in shambles. The demons would change their whole approach and would try to kill me." "I see," Poketo says as he sits down depressed. "Now I say all of this not to make you sad pal," Higoro says as he pops up in Poketo's face, which scares him. "I got a plan to help get rid of the Cia problem. Are you two listening to me you two?" Poketo and Higoro look at Crystal and Jesson, who gets up and shakes their heads in agreeance.

"Good," Higoro says "Because we are running out of time. By now Cia has already gone through the next gate to catch up with your team. "Back at the gate of greed, Debiddo and the rest of the team are together near the next gate preparing to open it. "You guys ready?" Daruri says to everyone. "Yeah!" Everyone responds. With this, Daruri opens the gate only to find a dense fog surrounding the entire landscape, and demons in the surrounding area fighting each other. "So this is.." Himawari says looking at the area. "Yes, this is the gate of wrath," Daruri responds. "It's hard to see in here, this fog is so thick," Kori says as she tries to walk and stumbles. Debiddo ends up helping her regain her balance by grabbing her hand. "Geez be careful ice klutz," Debiddo says which causes Kori to get red. "YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS OF ME HAN-," "Shhh, I hear something." Bolt says as everyone looks around. "Everyone get ready for an attack," Daruri says as everyone activates their Genki. Suddenly, an orb is thrown from the fog landing in the middle of the group. "Damnit, everyone move out the way!" Issho says as everyone jumps out of the way.

The orb explodes causing an impact that pushes everyone into the Ultimately separating everyone. "So this was his plan after all," Daruri says looking for everyone. "Yeah, he was trying to separate us from the others," Ishho replies. Over in another part of the fog, Debiddo walks around calling out people names. "BOLT, HIMA, DARURI! ANYBODY! Dammit, we all got separated. What are we going to do now?" Debiddo says as he thinks to himself. Debiddo then thought of an idea. "I should shine a bright enough light to where everyone can find me." Debiddo then uses his light Genki to create a form of a Beacon that illuminates the surrounding area. Bolt sees this light as he walks around calling everyone's name as well. "That light...it's Debiddo." Everyone else sees the light and starts walking toward the light also. Bolt is the first to arrive, only to see an unknown man in his view. "So Bolt, it seems like you are a follower again." The voice says. "No, it cant be you..." Bolt replies in horror. The voice shows its face to reveal it to be an individual that looks like Bolt. "...De...Denko?" Bolt says in anger. "So you are here now huh?"

"Now why would you talk to your uncle like that," Denko says to Bolt. "Bastard you killed my father!" Bolt says as the lightning around his body starts spiraling out of control. "Oh come now, is that how you speak to your favorite uncle?" "I'll Kill You!!!" Bolt replies as his eyes glow bright yellow sparking out of rage. Debiddo, at the same time, looks in the direction of the lightning and heads toward it. "Bolt?" Debiddo says. However, when Debiddo gets close to the lightning, a dark looming shadow appears in front of Debiddo. The shadow appears to him looking like a demon. The same demon that haunted Debiddo's past for so long. "Its...YOU!" Debiddo says as the demon turned around to show itself as the demon that killed his mother. "Debiddo's spiritual energy starts glowing red and yellow as his rage starts spiraling out of control. "Finally, I get to kill you with my bare hands!" Himawari catches up to Debiddo's light only to see Both Debiddo and Bolt preparing to fight each other.

"Huh? Bolt, Debiddo, what are you doing? Why are you guys fighting each other?" But her words fell on death's ears. The two charge in full power at each other causing an impact that sent Himawari flying. Deeper in the fog, Raphael is walking through the fog until he hears an explosion coming from the impact between Debiddo and Bolt. "That spiritual energy...its Debiddo and Bolt, but why?" Raphael says before he gets interrupted by the spiritual energy of a stronger opponent. "So it seems like one the rats made it free." An unknown voice says in the shadows. Raphael looks up and sees a slender human-like demon that horns curl on the top of his head. His eyes glowed a menacing greenish-yellow and his grin showed teeth that appear razor-sharp. "So you are Phillip I presume?" Raphael says as he walks toward the demon. "Yes, I am. I am Phillip, the guardian of the gate of Wrath. I commend you in finding your way over here, but I can't say the same for your teammates."Phillip replies. "What do you mean?" Raphael asks. "Right now each one of your friends are fighting...or rather think they are fighting the person they hate the most." "So that energy I felt before..." Raphael says looking down at the ground.

"Yes, that energy you felt was the energy of the Light and Lighting brats fighting each other. They think they are fighting the thing they hate the most, but in reality, they are just fighting themselves. it's a pathetic sight really," Philip says smugly as he starts laughing. Raphael is silent with his head down. A blank stare appears on the face of Raphael as he starts to tremble. "Oh, are you scared? Now that the situation has been presented to you, are you going to run away?" "Runaway? Of course not." Raphael says as the heat starts to emit from his body. Phillips sees this and starts backing away. "Now that no one is in my way, I can finally enjoy this fight and go all out!" Raphael's body explodes with flames. The heat from the explosion is enough to burn Philips's body, sending him deep into despair. "Yo-You wasn't afraid the whole time?" Phillip says as his body tries to heal. "Afraid? Why would I be afraid of someone weaker than me?" Raphael says as his flames dance violently in the air. The fog around both of them starts to evaporate and the area becomes clearer. "What's wrong Phillip? Are you afraid?" Raphael says as the fire behind him takes the shape of a dragon. "Don't run away now, I want to enjoy this fight. I promise I won't kill you right away."
