Emilia Justina walked into the door of Devil's Castle. "Listen guys, my microwave broke, so I'm going to have to eat here now for a while."

"Never was your excuse before." Sadao Maou said between a bite of food. "Chino made curry tonight. Little bit on the spicy side, but I'm Satan, so I've had hotter."

"I figured that." Emilia sat down as Chiho greeted her and prepared her plate.

Emilia looked around the apartment. It was a little emptier than usual. "Speaking of Satan, where are your demons? Are they off running errands for Your Highness?"

"Since Urushihara almost drove us into the ground with that scam, Alciel and I decided to get him out more."

"Isn't he still wanted for the muggings he and Olba did?" Emilia pointed out.

"Yeah, so we changed up his appearance a little bit. Its a good thing that idiot made sure he wasn't seen too good, so we let him off the hook a little bit." Sadao responded.

"I say we kill him, so we don't have to worry about him anymore." Emilia said as Chiho laid out a bowl of curry for her. "Wow Chiho, this looks delicious, thanks!"

"Well I would let you kill him, but we saw how that went last time." Sadao responded with a smirk.

"You wanna go?!" Emilia slammed her hands on the table. "Forget about Lucifer, I could kick your ass right now!"

"Please don't fight over the table. You will make a mess." Suzano said, vainly trying to stop the too from fighting.

"All I'm saying is that for a Hero, you sure never finish a lot of enemies do you?" Sadao said, completely delighted in Emilia's frustration.

"If this spoon was a knife, I swear to God I would slit your throat right here right now." She looked down at her food. "You know what, after this bowl of curry, me and you outside and we settle this once and for all! How's that for finishing things?!" She yelled.

Sadao gave her a look and then calmly had another spoonful of curry. "I'd win, since we have to go down the stairs to get outside. You can't even finish a flight of stairs. For shame, Hero. For shame."

Emilia felt her blood boil. She instantly leaped over the table and onto Sadao, clenching her hands around his throat to straggle him. "GOT ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY NOW TOUGH GUY?!" She yelled, throttling him.

The door to the apartment opened, and in came Alciel, carrying Lucifer over his shoulder. "Master! We have returned!" He said triumphantly.

"Good." Sadao said, getting Emilia off of him. "So, how was basketball?"

"I am proud to report that I had an excellent performance. The humans were giving me such compliments like 'lockdown, boss.' and 'put the D on 'em!'"

He set Urushihara down, who was absolutely exhausted. "Never...again." Lucifer said between gasps of air.

Suzano looked at Urushihara. Urushihara's hair was no longer covering half of his face, and was instead tied back into a nice purple ponytail. "So that's the difference Sadao was alluding too."

"Not gonna lie, he does look different when he's not full emo." Emilia said.

"Contrary to Lucifer's behavior right now, he perform excellent on the court as well." Alciel said. "He was very good at taking the ball and putting in in the hole. Especially from long distance. I was... not so fortunate."

"So what's wrong with him now?" Chiho said.

"One game because six hours. Straight." Urushihara said.

"Basketball games go on for that long?" Sadao asked.

"Believe me they don't." Urushihara said. "But Michael Jackass over here decided to play game, after game, after game, after game... all of that running up and down takes it toll on you after a while."

"Alciel looks just fine." Sadao said. "He even carried you home. I imagined he carried you on the court too."

"All he did was stand under the rim half the time! I was constantly moving around."

"Well as long as you got some exercise and off of a computer for five minutes, I'm happy. Now go shower. I don't want your smell around my food."

"But I'm starving! Can I at least eat first-"

"Shower. Now." Sadao said.

Urushihara didn't ask further, quickly getting his stuff ready and hopping in the shower.

"So, when are you going back?" Chiho asked Alciel.

"I make go back tomorrow actually. It depends on how I feel in the morning." Alciel said, taking his food and moving over to the corner.

"Not only does keeping Urushihara off of the computer save us from his idiocy, it also keeps the electric and wifi bill down. Don't be surprised if i have you babysitting him more."

"I shall be up for the task master!" Alciel beamed. "I too see the important of keeping Lucifer active and about. Say, I was looking at the paper, and they are making there will be a play for 'The Phantom Of The Opera.' this week. Perhaps we can go-"

The lights in the apartment suddenly went out.

"The hell?" Sadao said, standing up.

"Did you forget to pay the electric bill this month Master?" Alciel asked.

"No, I don't think so?" Sadao said. "I'll go check the box." Sadao tripped over a leg, and landed hard on something, face first.

"GET OFF MY CHEST YOU PERVERT!" Emilia yelled.

"Trust me! That was not my first option to land on. There isn't exactly any padding."

"SHUT UP YOU CREEP!" Emilia swung as hard as she could, but hit her fist against the stove. "OW THAT HURTS!"

"Hahahahaha! Its dark so you can't see me!" Sadao mocked, right before Emilia socked him in the chin.

"I CAN HEAR YOU MORON! NOW GO PUT THE POWER BACK ON!

"OW! ALRIGHT I'LL DO IT! Someone give me a flashlight."

Chino handed him the flashlight. "Here you go! Good luck!"

"Thanks."

Walking down to the basement, Sadao went to the power box.

"That's strange, everything's turned off." Sadao murmured, switching everything back on. "Why would anyone cut the power off?"

A shock went through his body, dropping him to his knees.

M-M-Magic. He thought to himself, a chill running down his spine.

He dashed back upstairs. Whoever that is, they aren't playing around, and with that kind of magic, we're in trouble!

He slammed open the door to Devil's Castle. "Guys its a trap! Someone from Ente Isla is-"

Everyone was slumped over on the floor. They had glassy eyes, and didn't appear to be breathing...

No. Sadao said in horror. They can't be dead. No. No PLEASE! NO!

"Hello Demon King Satan." A voice said. "We need to talk."

Sadao turned to face the figure behind him. He was wearing a tall man in all back, three piece suit. Raven-black fair flowed down his hair, which contrasted with his pale white skin For someone with such incredible power, he looked quiet young, no more older than Alciel. He carried a mug that had steam coming from the top.

Despite the chill still in his body, Sadao was furious. "WHO ARE YOU?!" He shouted. "AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY FRIENDS?!"

The man looked at him, and then took a sip of his drink. "I'm Death, King Satan. And I'm here on behalf of God."
