*a day after the fight at the tournament, the crew regroups at Kronus' house to check on Kobura late at night* *dragon ball super whis relaxing theme plays*

Kronus: *hasn't taken a break while healing Kobura this whole time, getting bags under his eyes from how tired he is* *in head* I should have been more prepared… That man, his power was higher than I anticipated… I left myself wide open… *yawns a bit, pouting in shame* I will make it up to you all… I promise… *finally fully seals Kobura's wound since it was so large, letting out a long sigh and laying back on his chair* Thank heavens… *takes a moment to breathe, looking up at the ceiling blankly* Cassiel… Harut… That would leave Azrael too, wouldn't it…? *remembers seeing Harut's corpse, making him tear up* You damn fool… I always warned you, your desires would be your downfall… *slowly grins despite that* At least you got your wish in the end, huh? To experience both pain for yourself and another at the highest caliber… I will never understand your motive now, but maybe understanding doesn't mean anything anyway… *chuckles a bit* Maybe someday I'll see you when I take a vacation to Hell, old friend… *it's then he hears knocks at the door* Hm? *wipes his eyes with a cloth, drying them the most he can* Oh, come in!
*Freezer, Azura, and Blueberry all enter the room, all with worry spread across their faces*
Freezer: Kobura… *rushes over and sits down next to Kronus, about to place his hand on Kobura's shoulder, but Kronus stops him* Huh?
Kronus: *shakes head* His body temperature is still too high… *looks down at Kobura* That state of rage he went into opened something deep in him… It was like his ki was being pushed out of his body, forcefully.
Freezer: Forcefully…? *gulps, worried even more now* How… How bad was it…?
Kronus: During the fight, it seems he pushed out… a quarter of his ki. Due to Frost Demon anatomy, this heat generated was too great and he passed out from fatigue… *smiles* However, I do have good news.
Azura and Blueberry: *walk over as well, looking down at them curiously*
Kronus: Due to this same heat, he cauterized his own wound easily. His rage, despite knocking him out for so long… saved his life!~
Freezer: *eyes shine with life, tears brimming in his eyes* He's… alive…? Really?!~
Azura: *same as Freezer, clasping her hands together* Oh, thank god!!~ Kobura!!
Blueberry: *sighs with relief, hugging both of them into a giant group hug* That was way too close…! I'm so happy we're all alright!
All 3: *look down at Kronus, smiling happily yet mischievously*
Kronus: *sweatdrop* E-eh?
All 3: *together, they all add him to the group hug, laughing excitedly*
Kronus: A-ah—!! *blushes and smiles as well, hugging them all back gently* We're all together, don't worry! Heheh!~ *slowly parts from it, nodding to them* Don't worry, Kobura will be in my care… I'll make sure everyone hears when he's back to his senses!
Blueberry: But Kronus, you'll be on your own in here! *crosses arms* You know I won't have you alone, right?
Kronus: I-I can handle it Blueberry, don't you worry! *innocent grin, but Blue doesn't buy into it* E-eh—?
Blueberry: If your eyes were any darker, I would think someone made you into a vampire! *puffs cheeks* No, you're not staying here alone. We're all taking turns nursing him back to health!
Kronus: B-but Blueberry, I insist that I—
Blueberry: No insisting on anything! *eyes narrow*
Kronus: *soft sigh, in head* Just like your mother… *slowly nods, smiling with an exhausted face* Alright, alright… If you insist…
Blueberry: *pushes her glasses back* Good! I'll take the first shift, alright? You are desperate for some beauty sleep!
Kronus: B-but I—
Blueberry: Sleep!! *points to his bedroom with a cute serious face*
Kronus: *gulps, lowering his head and getting up* Oh alright… Goodnight everyone…! *waves weakly, tired beyond belief as he stumbles to his bedroom*
Azura: *has been silent for the most part, a gloomy feel to her despite knowing Kobura is alive and well* … *walks up and places a flower in a vase on a table near his bed* Wake up soon, okay…? Please… *frowns, turning away and walking out of the house*
Freezer: *worried expression again* I don't think I've seen Azura this quiet before… Not since I ate the last of the waffles that is— *Blue smacks him on the head* Ouch!! What?
Blueberry: You don't see why she's acting like that? *eyes narrow* Think about it for a moment… It's not something to be joking about!
Freezer: *rubbing where she smacked him* I know I know, but we're all alright now! She knows that too now, so I guess I'm just confused… 
Blueberry: In what was a chill day for the most part, turned into a traumatic experience just within a couple hours… She almost lost everyone she cared for so suddenly… You don't think she's going through the motions right now? *tears up a bit* I am a bit too, if I'm being honest… but I can't let it stop me from being the older one to all of you… So you're gonna need to talk to her.
Freezer: What do I say…?
Blueberry: I can't tell you that. *goes back to healing Kobura* That's something you gotta do on your own…
Freezer: *thinks for a moment, sighing softly and getting up* Alright… I'll do my best… *walks out of the house*
Blueberry: Don't do it for me, do it for yourself and for Azura!! *soft sigh* I hope he can put her at ease… *mumbles to herself* Y'know… Who did win the bet in the end of it all? Pfft… Does it even matter anymore? I'll just borrow some books later…
*cuts to Azura, walking back to the house on her own, holding her hands together in front of her waist sadly*
Azura: … *her eyes have no shine and are slightly lidded* *rubs her thumb along the top of her hand slowly* *dragon ball super broly memories of bah theme plays*
