Kiba was wondering the Gremory castle, worrying about his master. Ever since they left Alex behind two days prior Rias had been sinking into deeper despair. They were all worried about him, but Rias and Kuroka seed especially bad for so reason. The two of them were locked up in Rias's room simply saying "status, status, status" over and over again. He had no idea why they were saying that, but judging on the way they repeated it, it must have been sothing to do with Alex.
He looked at the screen displaying the news in the devil world and grew nervous, they all wanted to go and help, but their master was so unresponsive that they couldn't. The worst part was that with each passing day that the two were like that, everyone else started sinking into deeper despair regarding Alex as well.
"He's ok, right?" Koneko asked him, with tears forming in her eyes. She had been affected most by the way her big sister reacted, and so was the one believing the most that he was gone.
"Of course he is, nothing could kill that guy!" They heard a voice behind them, and turned to see Sun Wukong. He had co to heal Vali after being poisoned by Samael, and hear the current status of his student. The Vali squad was behind him, and he turned to Bikou and said,
"You could stand to learn from him you know." Bikou sighed at his ancestors words, and didn't say anything. They all then turned back to the screen and listened to the news. According to them there were thirteen monsters released by Shalba, twelve bandersnatches, and the biggest one was called a jabberwockey. They were each wreaking havoc in the underworld with the jabberwockey making its way to the Capitol of the Maou territory, Lilith. Even when ultimate class Devils were dispatched they did no more than tickling them.
anwhile Rias and Kuroka were in her room muttering the sa thing over and over again.
"Status, status, status." But no matter how much they repeated it the now familiar screen never appeared. It had vanished not long after they left Alex behind, and both Rias hand Kuroka had long learned that they could use it to determine if Alex was alive or not. If it vanished then that could only an one thing. After two days of this soone suddenly entered the room. They briefly looked up and say a small monkey like figure. He strode over and looked at the two of them and declared,
"I should really scold my disciple when I next see him, choosing such useless won to be around him." When they heard his words both girls looked at him curiously, though the light had yet to return to their eyes. He then continued,
"Instead of having faith that he'll return to you, you imdiately assu he's dead, and instead of doing sothing about it, you sit here and mope. So what are you if not useless?" At that mont a small light returned as they were both insulted. Before they could say anything however,
[testing, testing. System functions now returning, connection is reestablished, we are sorry for the inconvenience.]
Both of them were dumbfounded, and imdiately beca fully alert as they pushed a ssage through, ignoring the monkey in front of them.

When Alex opened his eyes once more he was on a red landscape and the sky was a bunch of different colors.
"So I ended up in the dinsional gap regardless, huh?" He said out loud. He suddenly looked around in a small panic, and saw Ophis sitting a little ways away. He let out a sigh of relief, and said,
"Are you alright Ophis?" She nodded her head and replied,
"I promised not to fight, so I didn't." Alex didn't need to ask what she ant, as he looked around and saw he was riding a giant red dragon. He was actually very pleased she listened to what he asked her, because he didn't want to wake up in a battlefield. Alex looked at his body and was pleased with what he managed, at first it seed as if he wasn't going to be able to fight the poison, but he suddenly got a surge of strength and forced it to submit. He didn't know where the strength ca from, but was pleased it ca when it did.
