"Alright ladies, where is the butt monkey and peewee?!" asked Maou (Satan) Hiruma as he stood before the new Deimon Devil Bats. Maou looked just like his father, but with a black streak running through his yellow hair.

"They are in the weight room, Ran'ningu (Running) is trying to bench seventy today," said Hoteru (Hotel) Kurita. He was just a big as his father, but his stomach was a tad smaller.

"Alright, all of you take and do three hundred laps," said Maou.

"Ha?!" asked the Ha-Ha Cousins, Amai (Sweet) Jumonji, Tafu (Tough) Kuroki, and Sumāto (Smart) Togano.

"I said run," said Maou as he released Cerberus's son, Hell. The dog then chased the team members as Maou walked away. Meanwhile, in the weight room, Ran'ningu Kobayakawa was lifting a barbell while Shinobi (Ninja) Taro watched.

"Come on, Ran'ningu, you're so close to eighty," said Shinobi as Ran'ningu counted to seventy-six. Maou then busted the door down.

"Hey, what are you two doing in here?!" asked Maou.

"Sorry, Maou, but Ran'ningu is up to his eightieth bench press with seventy pounds," said Shinobi. You could only see his face thanks to the black ninja hood he had over the rest of his head.

"Eighty," said Ran'ningu as he put the barbell down. Ran'ningu looked just like Sena, but with more muscle mass.

"Why aren't you out on the field practicing you're running techniques?" asked Maou as he looked at Ran'ningu.

"I'm already a 4.1 runner, and I've learnt every technique that my dad has ever invented," said Ran'ningu who was not afraid of Maou.

"Then why don't you try getting a new technique, don't you remember that this is the last year any of us will get at the Christmas Bowl?!" asked Maou.

"I remember, I just need a new way to strengthen my muscles first!" said Ran'ningu as he got in Maou's face.

"Then how about all of you take and do the new Death March I came up with?" asked Senshi (Warrior) Sakuki, Doburoku's son as he stood in the doorway.

"You came up with a new Death March?" asked Ran'ningu.

"That's right, and this one will push your muscles to make the Devil Bat Ghost an unmatched move," said Senshi.

"When do we start?" asked Ran'ningu.

"When we get to Cameron Texas in the U.S. three days from now," said Sutā (Star) Hiruma, Maou's sister, as she came in next.

"And how long is this one going to be, Mana-jerk?" asked Maou.

"Don't call me that," said Sutā who was angered by that name.

"It lasts till we reach the Canadian city of Iqaluit in the territory of Nunavut," said Amaririsu (Amaryllis) Kobayakawa, Ran'ningu's sister, as she too walked in.

"That's far," said Shinobi.

"It's a distance of 4163.37 km," said Senshi.

"That sounds like a good challenge," said Ran'ningu with a smile.
