"I'm going to miss M/C." Beelzebub sulked as he trudged beside his twin. The two were making their way up the dungeon stairs.

"I think we all are, Beel..." Replied Belphegor. His lips were pressed into a thin line and his hair hung over his droopy eyes. He didn't wish for his twin brother to see him in the state he was currently in.

"Do you think... We'll ever get to see them again?"

Belphegor looked at Beelzebub. He sighed. "I don't think so..."

The twins walked in silence until they reached the top of the stairs. They were about to turn, however immediately halted as soon as they heard gasps of horror from the dungeon.

No words were exchanged between the demons. They rushed back down the stairs in an instant - already knowing something was wrong.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Beelzebub asked the moment the two reached the dungeon. He noticed Diavolo, Alois and Barbatos crowded around five open cages. His heart sunk.

"Your brothers..." Diavolo trailed off. He was indeed speechless.

"... They escaped." Belphegor finished off. His face held nothing but shock. How did his brothers escape? Where had they gone?

"I can't believe this." Beelzebub said as he ran a hand through his hair. He knew by the current situation, everyone would have a lot of work to do.

"My guess is that the brothers ran through the portal that M/C used to get home. Somehow, they did it without being seen." Alois concluded as he tapped his chin.

"Yes," Hummed Diavolo, "I can see that being the case."

"What are we going to do?" Asked Barbatos, looking at everyone.

"We're going to have to stop them." Diavolo muttered.

"They chased after M/C, there's no doubt about it."

Sat at home alone, Yui was typing away at her laptop, which was a very rare sight to say the least. Ever since the disappearance of her best friend months ago, Yui had been spreading awareness and creating missing posters. Everywhere you walked you would be able to spot a form of poster.

"And... done." The female whispered to herself. A smile lit up her face as she admired her completed work. Now all that was left to do was to print it off.

Yui stood up, brushing off her clothes. She stretched her stiff limbs with a satisfied yawn before taking her laptop into the study office. She would print the masterpiece off there.

Upon entering, the female heard a knock come from the window of the study. Confused, Yui walked towards it where she peered outside. Nothing.

"How odd..."

As soon as Yui turned around, another knock came from the same window. The female sighed and slipped open the window, peering outside.

Yui leant back and was just about to shut the window, however something latched onto her shirt collar, forcing her downwards. Yui elicited a scream as she fought against the resistance pulling her out of the window.
