Rias watched from the side as the rabbit girl Alex brought back two weeks ago sparred against her older sister, with Yue right next to her giving occasional advice to the rabbit girl. Rias ignored Yue and focused on the rabbit as she went toe to toe with Grayfia, even after her sister already promoted to her rook piece. She truly couldn't believe the difference two weeks made when it ca to Shia, not only did her attitude moderately improve, but she now seed to be utilizing tons of strength after being strictly drilled every day. She could now see that Shia would make a perfect rook for their team, even though it ant another woman would be joining them. Soon another person walked up and joined them, standings to Rias's side as he watched the ongoing battle, alternating his focus on the maid outfit of Grayfia and the rabbit ears of Shia.
"Are they going to be going for a while? I need to give sothing to Shia." Haji said to Rias, as Yue still held a grudge against him for the Loli grandma comnt. Both girls looked at him curiously, as Haji shrugged and said,
"It's sothing Alex had make her." After hearing that Alex was behind Haji's actions, Yue imdiately called the sparring match to an end, and both won made their way over. Haji held his empty hand out as Shia approached, and a large hamr suddenly appeared in it from the storage ring. Shia took the hamr and staggered slightly from the weight of it until she reapplied her 'physical reinforcent' and it beca a lot lighter. She swung it around a bit as Haji explained,
"Alex had make that for you, it's called Doryukken. In the future I'll try to improve it and add more functions, but for now it's useable for soone like you." Shia swung it around happily while promising herself to thank Alex for the hamr later, conveniently forgetting that it was Haji that made it. As she was about to ask Grayfia to help her test it out however, a loud sound and an ominous presence appeared from the entryway of the hideout, indicating soone was challenging the hydra. Since they didn't know who was already that far in the labyrinth everyone present rushed towards it to investigate. The sight that greeted them was an eleven years old boy with rabbit ears being stared down by the hydra, clutching his arm as if he was wounded. All of the monsters attention focused on him, driving the boy to cry out in terror as he was about to lose his life.
"Pal!" Shia called out the young boys na, horrified at the situation she was about to witness. Then sothing happened that would've been unthinkable two weeks ago, her vision turned red and looked at the hydra with murderous intention. She hefted her newly acquired hamr, and prepared to charge the hydra to save her family mber, before the collar of her outfit was grabbed and she was forced back while coughing.
"Cough cough, why did you do that Grayfia?! I need to save pal!" Grayfia didn't say anything, instead she just looked across the way at soone else who was in the room, leaning against the entryway into the challenge room was Alex watching the whole thing. Shia was confused for a brief second before it happened, the bullying.
As the hydra attacked the supposedly wounded Pal, he suddenly showed a fierce expression and moved to the side to avoid the attacks, while several shadows suddenly appeared and used the opening to start slashing various areas of the hydra with short-swords. Shia was dumbfounded as she watched the figures expertly and chanically attack the hydra, each appearing only for a split second to open another wound on the monster before seemingly disappearing into nothing. The hydra roared with its seven heads, angry that the annoyances were avoiding its attack and were stinging it, before the white head started healing the injuries with its magic.
When this happened the shadows halted their attacks for a split second, before moving as a single organism and concentrating all of their efforts onto the white head to eliminate the healer. The shield head moved to intercept their attacks, but it could only focus on so many at one ti and was easily outmaneuvered before they sward the white head and eliminated it. The rest of the heads grew even angrier, and started releasing tons of random magic attacks to the surroundings. The shadows halted their attacks briefly due to the randomly discharged magic, before the small figure of Pal reappeared in the middle of the room, drawing the hydras attention once more. It wanted to hurt sothing and the small figure in the middle of the room was perfect since all the others disappeared, however the results were no different than what happened the first ti it attacked Pal.
Once it no longer randomly shot off attacks the shadows moved in once more, and without the white head to heal its injuries the hydra was soon covered in dozens of injuries, with the number getting larger by the second. Soon it was unable to support itself any longer, and collapsed. As the surrounding area shuddered with large body hitting the floor, Alex walked out towards the middle of the room while all the shadows that were previously hidden started appearing and lined up in front of him, rabbit ears practically dancing on their heads. Shia watched dumbfoundedly as the family she hadn't seen in two weeks lined up in front of Alex and saluted him, to which he said,
"I suppose I should say good work, you managed to bring down the strongest monster here in the abyss just within the five minutes I gave you... THATS FUCKING PATHETIC! ARE YOU MORONS THAT ONLY AIM FOR "OK"? OR ARE YOU THE HAULIA THAT AIMS FOR THE BEST?!" As Alex's voice rang out in the enclosed space, the entire Haulia answered back,
""""""""""SIR NO SIR! WE ARE ASHAD SIR!"""""""""""
Everyone else was watching in amazent, or maybe fear, as those timid and cowardly rabbits displayed perfect military order and ruthlessness. Alex on the other hand was admiring his work with pride. In the original series Haji used borderline cruel and life threatening thods to forcefully reprogram the Haulia, turning them temporarily into murdering psychopaths. While he had undone so of the damage he did, the Haulia were still forever changed; but when Haji left them to their own devises they then turned into a large group of chunni wannabe badasses, each having co up with their own seconds nas like Destroyer and so on. Alex on the other hand used subtler thods like his Devils charm to mold them into his perfect assassins, in other words he basically brainwashed them. In just two weeks he turned them into elite assassins that managed to eliminate anything they encountered in the labyrinth, followers of order and discipline.
Seeing her family like this Shia collapsed to the ground, wondering where her kind and caring family was. Her look was especially filled with nostalgia when looking at Pal, who went from a gentle boy who loved flowers to an elite assassin at only eleven years old. Seeing Shia collapsed on the ground, Alex decided to it was ti to deal with the next order of business, and dismissed the Haulia. Shia looked up when she heard soone approaching, and saw Alex walking towards her with a smile on his face.
"Shia there's sothing important I want to talk to you about, let's head back to the manor and we'll talk there." Shia was confused, but followed after Alex along with Rias, Grayfia, and Yue, Kuroka would have been present as well but she wasn't found anywhere for so reason. As she walked away Cam watched his daughter go with warm eyes, having already been told the contents of their discussion by Alex. Though such a path was different than what the rabbitn usually believed in, Cam didn't regret his decision to follow Alex as it allowed them to protect their family. He was then pulled out of his thoughts by Haji walking forward, who then announced,
"Alex had make proper equipnt for you guys, so line up to get them!" As he spoke Haji pulled small piles of the equipnt he was talking about out of the storage ring, and started handing them out to the Haulia. There were new weapons that were sharper and more durable than the ones they took from the empire soldiers, as well as telepathic communication devices he made with a certain tal in the labyrinth. As he was handing out the items Haji was thinking of a way to get back at Alex, not only did he hide the fact that he was Saiyan for their fight, but he was also taking advantage of the fact that Haji was now working for him and worked him to the bone(not that what he asked for was too demanding). The thing that annoyed Haji the most about the situation was that he wanted to check on Kaori but Alex wouldn't let him, only saying it wasn't ti yet.
As he was thinking of this Haji looked at the surrounding Haulia, and an idea ca to mind. He didn't know where it ca from or why he thought it would work, but he figured it would be petty and annoying enough to return so of the favor to Alex for the last several weeks. He then said out loud to the Haulia since Alex was out of earshot,
"So have any of you given thought of your second nas yet?" This caught their attention, and Pal asked,
"What are second nas?" Haji had to stop himself from smiling at the question, the would-have-been demon king then explained to the now attentive rabbits,
"Your second na is the na you beco known as, it's your nickna to inspire terror on your opponents! How can you all work for Alex and not have second nas?! Even your boss has several nas that perfectly describe his strength and majesty!" As they all had quite a bit of free ti the past several weeks, Haji would talk to Rias and the other girls, when they did speak to him, and they told him about so of the things regarding their own world. They also discussed their general background, making Haji in awe that Rias was really from a high class Devils family, and Grayfia was actually the ex-wife of Satan himself. They had also ntioned each other's aliases, as well as Alex's. As he ntioned that Alex even had a second na the Haulia beco more interested, and Haji said,
"Yeah, apparently in the world he's from he goes by the 'Dragon Emperor', while even so of the girls around him have second nas as well. Rias has two, the 'Crimson Haired Ruin Princess' and the 'Princess of Ruin', while the maid Grayfia is known as the 'Strongest Queen' and the 'Silver Haired Queen of Annihilation'." As his words spread through the Haulia like a ripple, they all realized their faults in dishonoring their boss by not having second nas. Then one of the rabbitn girls, nad Rana, declared,
"We need to go talk to the boss before they leave tomorrow and ask him about what second nas would be good for us!" The rest of the Haulia agreed with her words, but as they were about to leave Haji stepped in front of them saying,
"No you can't! Think about it, wouldn't Alex be disappointed if you can't co up with your own second nas and ask him to do so? You should keep quiet about it until he next cos back or calls for you, and surprise him with your new nas!" They all stirred again and agreed with Haji's words, deciding to wait until they next saw their boss before declaring their aweso second nas to him, causing Haji to smile evilly.
