"You're gonna beat the two of us? You hear yourself, kid? Hm."

Deidara looked at Millicas dumbfounded by the young devil's bold exclamation.

"Yeah, I didn't stutter you two-bit artist."

A vein appeared on Deidara's forehead.

"Okay, you little brat if it's a fight you want then it's a fight you're gonna get! Hm."

Sasori leaned over and whispered to Deidara.

"Do you have any explosive clay left Deidara?"

"No. That annoying maid made me go through my entire bag all I have is the dragon we're standing on."

"In that case, we're gonna have to go for a collaboration piece then."

"If that's our only option then I have no choice then."

Sasori brought out his puppet again to Millicas' confusion as it began spitting out iron sand however the sand began to encompass Deidara's dragon as it formed armor around it.

"Behold you brat! The greatest collaboration between two of the greatest artists to ever live."

Millicas scoffed under his helmet.

"So what? Am I supposed to be impressed with two grown men merging Oragami with Sand?"

Sasori's face adopted a scowl and Deidara looked like he was gonna pop a blood vessel.'

"O-Oragami! You're just like that idiot maid! I'll make you quake and grovel in despair before the world's two greatest artists!"

Millicas took a fighting stance not letting Deidara's tirade bother him.

"Bring it."

The Iron Sand dragon took flight circling as Millicas prepared to go after them.

'Hey, Ddraig? How do I fly with this again?"

[You forgot or you don't know?]

'Probably the latter. Sorry.'

[Don't be. You have two wings that come from the back.]

'Really?! Cool!'

Ddraig couldn't help but smile as Millicas' child enthusiasm was infectious.

"Let's go Ddraig!"

[I'm with you Partner! BOOST!]

Millicas then took flight after Deidara and Sasori immediately but the artists were prepared.

"Sasori."

"Right."

Sasori did a couple of hand signs as did Deidara as Iron Sand began to form again while some clay puppets appeared from the Iron Sand Dragon. From the dragon came two clay puppets coated in Iron Sand.

"Try this you wannabe dragon!"

The two Iron Sand clay dolls jumped from the dragon towards Millicas to his surprise.

'What the?'

When the dolls got close Millicas went in for a strike.

[Millicas wait!]

However, it was too late as when Millicas punched the doll Sasori triggered the Iron Sand as it ensared him.

"Wait what?!"

"Now say goodnight. Ha!"

Deidara did the detonation sign as the clay doll exploded the explosions traveled along the Iron Sand that ensnared Millicas as he was engulfed in the explosion to the dismay of those watching.

"Millicas!"

"Kid!"

Grayfia and Tanni looked on in horror and even though they knew how resilient Balance Breaker was they weren't sure if the armor was enough to endure the hit. As the dust settled both Deidara and Sasori had looks of pure confidence on their faces believing that they'd finally put down Millicas but that was short-lived as suddenly a red streak came from the cloud and punched the Iron Sand Dragon square in the chest to his surprise both artists jumped off as Deidara commanded the dragon to which it slammed its spiked tail into him then it blew up in a glorious explosion temporarily blinding everyone and shaking Dragon Mountain.

"Did that take care of him?"

"Let's hope so. You and I are low on chakra and you've got no clay left."

"Yeah, I know. That damn maid made me burn through my detonating clay and you've got slivers of chakra in your tank after using that fourth-level puppet against that dragon."

"I'm well aware but even with his almighty balance breaker he couldn't have survived that."

As the smoke cleared to the dismay of the artists Millicas was still standing Balance Breaker and all.

"T-There's no way."

"He survived the combo attack?"

Their shock was short-lived as the armor faded and Millicas tried to keep himself upright before he collapsed in a heap.

'Ddraig. W-What happened?'

[I tried to warn you, partner. Since you never fully recovered from your training you couldn't fully maintain your Balance Breaker.]

Millicas attempted to move but found it hard to move his body due to the tiredness and the damage from the Iron Sand dragon's explosion.

"Well, this certainly turned around for us. Right, Sasori?"

"Hmph. Yeah, you go grab him. I'll contact leader."

"Fine."

As Sasori made contact Deidara walked over and hoisted Millicas over his shoulder to the dismay of Grayfia and Tanni.

"Kid. No."

"M-Millicas. I won't let you."

"Grayfia don't you have no strength left and you've lost too much blood."

"I-I don't care. I'm saving my son!"

Grayfia despite her injuries and protest from her familiar started crawling towards her son from her spot on the plateau overlooking the battle.

However, before Deidara could blink his left shoulder felt lighter as Millicas was gone.

"What the?!"

Sasori stopped what he was doing and also looked in surprise.

"Where'd he go?"

Grayfia and Tanni blinked twice however Grayfia suddenly felt herself feeling the warm glow of healing magic looking up and her red eyes went wide.

"MacGregor?"

A skinny man in his late twenties with sharp eyes and long and slightly wavy hair which is a mixture of black and blond wearing a crimson robe with a distinguished design looked down at Grayfia and smiled.

"You're banged up Grayfia. I assume those two down there did that to you? Hm, you know that Sirzechs is gonna dote on you until you're healed."

Grayfia looked away her cheeks red knowing full well how her husband was going to act.

"Wait if you're here then that means…"

Dediara kept looking around until he felt a hand on his shoulder making him jump back.

"I take you and your compatriot are the ones who injured the young master?"

Deidara got a good look at who grabbed him it wasn't even a person instead it was some weird creature whose face resembled a red Asian dragon and had the body of a deer but with red scales instead of fur.

"Don't fool around Enku. You know why we're here."

Deidara looked behind him and saw a man in his mid-twenties with brown hair wearing a business suit.

"I know Beowulf. This scum isn't going to leave with his life for the damage he's done to Millicas as well as Grayfia."

Then both artists felt a presence that nearly made them choke as a bright magic circle of the gremory clan appeared before them and out from the circle came Sirzechs Lucifer.

He said nothing as his eyes surveyed the damage then his eyes drifted to his son who wasn't too badly damaged but there was a brief shock when saw the dragon gauntlet on his son's arm an issue to discuss later then his eyes drifted to his wife and when he saw her damaged state his aura spiked as his eyes were now narrowed in pure fury as the ground completely gave way.

"Oh…Oh shit."

Dediara attempted to back away however Sasori wasn't going down without a fight as he used the last of his chakra to bring out his puppet it spewed out Iron Sand.

"Iron Sand Five Sun Nails!"

Sasori fired the nails at Sirzechs as both Enku and Beowulf prepared to intercept the attack however Sirzechs calmly walked forward as both pawns stepped back he created a small ball of destruction and flicked it towards the nails the ball then the ball consumed the nails to Sasori's dismay as then in an instant he looked behind him he saw Sirzechs who instantly hit Sasori with a 5 hit combo before sending him flying. Deidara and Sasori were lying in a heap as both artists struggled to get up after suffering a beating from the current devil king.

"Damn it."

"No way! I'm not about to lose to some freak devils!"

Before Deidara could do anything and Sirzechs could follow up to everyone's surprise a giant wall of ice appeared before Deidara and Sasori blocking their path.

"What the?"

"Who's there?"

Everyone looked around until the cause of the ice disturbance revealed itself. It was a beautiful, buxom young woman with long flowing blonde hair and she wore a witch robe with a cloak, a hood, and a pointed witch hat but what stood out were her eyes as her left eye was red with a circle around the pupil and there were three tomoe on the circle while her left eye was purple with a ripple pattern that spread over her eyeball. The rage of Sirzechs was briefly overshadowed by his confusion but that too was short-lived as the woman snapped her fingers as the air got colder and a three-meter tall disfigured doll made of ice with the form of a woman in a dress materialized by her side. Sirzechs took a breath before he turned to Enku and Beowulf.

"Enku. Beowulf. Can you two deal with this?"

"Of course Sirzechs."

"Leave it to the two of us."

Both pawns rushed the women intent on taking her down but it was tough as her doll was great at playing defense and using the ice to play keep away.

"This doll is tougher than we thought."

"You're right Enku. Do you think it's her sacred gear? More importantly, why's a human magician working with these two and what's up with her eyes?"

"No clue Beowulf. For now, we need to focus on the task at hand."

"Yeah, I know, and don't treat me like you're ordering around a henchmen we're both pawns you know."

"Sorry, what?"

"*sigh* never mind."

Both men continued their assault on the doll of ice. Sirzechs watched the fight continue until he created a barrier around him as several fifteen-centimeter tall silver dolls wielding sabers and guns made out of silver attempted to attack him but the barrier stopped him as he blew the dolls back. He quickly surveyed his surroundings and then saw the source of the dolls as standing on a Plateau about 10 ft away was the source. It was a young girl who had a doll-like appearance with long wavy light blonde hair, and a beautiful face similar to that of a Western doll. Her skin tone was pale similar to that of a corpse. She wore a red dress worn by princesses back in the Middle Ages, with an ornamented head-dress and she had pink nail polish on her fingernails however her eyes were the same as the human magician battling Enku and Beowulf. The girl gave the command to her dolls who all ruhsed Sirzechs as the devil king was having no problem fighting them off although their numbers were annoying. The fighting continued for a few minutes until both the magician and the young girl stopped fighting as the two of them stood on a cliffside overlooking the entire battlefield Deidara and Sasori recovered and stood next to the magician and the pale girl.

"Net time you won't be so lucky! We'll get the red dragon emperor and show all of you true art!"

Sasori said nothing but looked at everyone else with a glare as a tear in dimensions appeared the four individuals walked through as the tear closed behind them.

Sirzechs glared at their retreating figures but immediately turned his attention to his wife as he flew over to her seeing her in MacGregor's arms as the magician was carrying her.

"I-Is she?"

"She's stable for now but she's lost a lot of blood. I recommend we get her medical help immediately. My healing magic only stabilized a bit but his arm and other parts of her body are seriously damaged."

Sirzechs' hands ghosted over his wife's injured arm as he once again felt rage more so at himself for not getting here sooner.

"Grayfia."

He kissed her temple before his gaze turned to his son.

"And Millicas?"

MacGregor smiled at his kings' concern as Enku and Beowulf showed up with Enku carrying Millicas.

"He's fine Sirzechs just asleep as is Lady Grayfia I see."

"More like she passed out due to the pain Enku."

"We can discuss this later right now we're getting my wife and son medical attention. That clear?"

"Yes, Sirzechs."

Serafall Memorial Hospital

Sirzechs sat in the waiting room his foot rapidly tapping against the floor showing his clear anxiety as he brought both Grayfia and Millicas here while he told Enku, Beowulf, and MacGregor to return to Gremory territory and await his return. However, what concerned him was what he encountered when he went to rescue Grayfia.

'Two humans with abilities I wouldn't classify as magic and they both managed to not only critically injure Grayfia but put Dragon King Tanni out of commission with that poison. Then there were the other two the female magician with a possible ice-sacred gear and the young vampire. My biggest concern was their eyes…I've never seen anything like it before and I don't the libraries of the underworld would have anything on them.'

Sirzechs shook his head as he recalled seeing Grayfia's injuries. The mask of blood on her face made him clench his hand into a fist in anger his aura started flaring up but he took a breath to calm himself and not erase the hospital that was caring for his wife and son. Speaking of his son he was still shocked at what he had seen.

'Millicas was wearing the Boosted Gear…My son has the Boosted Gear.'

Before the current devil king could continue his internal thoughts he heard the clicking of heels against the tile making him look up.

"Lord Lucifer?"

"Yes."

A nurse entered the room.

"Your wife is stable and the doctor says you can see her now. If you would follow me."

Sirzechs got up immediately and followed the nurse until they made it to Grayfias' room the nurse gently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

They both entered the room and Sirzechs saw Grayfia lying in the bed her right arm in a cast and the blood that originally formed a mask on the top half of her face was gone she had an IV hooked up to her and her torso was bandaged up.

"I'll leave you two alone Lord Lucifer."

With that, the nurse left Sirzechs immediately sat at her bedside.

"So what did the doctors say?"

Grayfia attempted to sit up but winced as Sirzechs helped his wife move to an elevated seated position.

"Don't move more than you have to."

"I know."

Grayfia finally got to a comfortable position as she looked her husband in his eyes before speaking.

"They said I'm going to stay here for a couple of days then I can head home but my right arm is gonna be in this cast for a while longer so no maid duties for a while."

Sirzechs smiled as he wrapped his wife in a gentle hug.

"That means I can spoil and dote on my injured wife. The last time I could do that was when you were pregnant with Millicas."

Grayfia blushed as she recalled when Sirzechs practically ignored everything else and took care of her when she was carrying their child and those were the best 9 months of her life although she would never say it out loud.

"So Grayfia I have to know… why didn't you tell me?"

Grayfia's eyes briefly couldn't meet her husband's until she returned his gaze.

"*sigh* Tell you what?"

"Tell me about Millicas' outings or the fact that our son is now the holder of the Boosted Gear?"

Grayfia flinched however she felt Sirzechs calmly grip her hand.

"W-When did you find out he was the possessor?"

"When I came to rescue you both. It was still on his arm when he was knocked out."

"Our son decided to seek out Tanni for training believing we'd be too soft if we trained him which I can't deny we both would out of paternal instinct."

Sirzechs briefly thought it over before he agreed with his wife.

"How'd you find this out? I doubt Millicas would've confided this in you for fear of hurting your feelings."

"Hm. I overheard him talking to Tanni when I followed him out one day."

"I see. I then assume you being his adorable doting mother kept following him afterwards while still keeping the guise of being his loving mother at home?"

Grayfia's red eyes went wide in surprise.

"Knowing you it wasn't too hard to guess. More importantly, why didn't you tell me?"

"I wanted our son to tell you when he was ready but I guess it's out in the open now."

"For his sake, I'll pretend I didn't see anything."

Grayfia smiled and Sirzechs smiled back however before the two of them could continue their conversation they both heard a knock on her door.

"Come in."

From behind the door stood Millicas who with tears in his eyes ran over and hugged his mom tightly.

"Momma! I'm sorry! I-I…"

Grayfia shushed him as she gently rubbed his back and hugged him tightly wincing in pain a little bit but Millicas didn't notice.

"I know. I know and I'm so proud of everything you accomplished on your own. Now dry your eyes sweetheart you know I don't like seeing you cry."

"*sniff* *sniff* Okay."

Millicas grabbed a tissue and blew his nose then grabbed a second one and dried his eyes.

'H-Hey Father."

Sirzechs saw his son worry in his red eyes and as much as he wanted to act like everything was okay he figured it'd be better to clear the air so there weren't any secrets between them.

"I know Millicas and I'm surprised that you've become the next Red Dragon Emperor."

"Father. I-I…"

Sirzechs walked over kneeled and wrapped his son in a hug.

"While I am upset you didn't feel comfortable that you couldn't come to me or your mother but I'm proud of the progress you made and how strong you've become."

Millicas felt the tears coming back as he hugged his father tightly embracing him as one thought ran through his mind.

'I have the best parents in the entire Underworld!'

Grayfia watched her husband and son with the biggest smile on her face as the two separated.

"F-Father. Mother. This isn't the best time but I need to ask this now… I want to move to the human world."
