They walked through the sandy ground, the sun was hot on Corey's back and they'd taken off their sweater and were wearing a t-shirt and shorts.

"This is the Deviant you fought in London?" Kingo asked nodding to the dead body of a Deviant.

"It's different," Ikaris replied shaking his head. "There must be more out there than we thought."

"Is...is this a Deviant sir?" Karun asked Kingo.

"Yep," Kingo told him as they stared at the body.

"It's a beautiful creature," Karun gestured to it.

"What? This? This? No. It's hideous. You've never had one try to bite your head off. Roll." Kingo told him.

"So you used to fight those all the time?" Corey asked Sprite as they walked.

"Yeah."

"Wow, I could hardly last 8th grade Phys Ed class," Corey shook her head in amazement as they both laughed.

"Also love the sunglasses very fashionable," Corey told them and Sprite reddened a little but Corey didn't notice.

"You are about to meet two of the greatest warriors the world has ever known," Kingo narrated behind them.

"Thena, legendary, deadly fashionable."

"Well this is exciting," Corey smiled at Sprite.

"And her trusty friend," Kingo continued before softly whispering. "Door."

"A mighty powerhouse of strength, the fearsome Gilgamesh!"

Ikaris knocked on the door and raised an eyebrow at what was happening behind him.

"Gilgamesh!" Kingo called again.

The door opened to reveal someone with short hair, and an apron that read 'Kiss the Cook.'

"What took you so long?" He asked Ikaris.

"You look younger today, Sprite." He said walking around us.

"I have the same apron," Karun told Gilgamesh.

"Who the hell are you? And who are you?" Gilgamesh asked looking between Corey and Karun.

"Corey, frien-acquaintance of them," Corey told him gesturing to Sersi, Ikaris, and Sprite.

"I'm Kuran. Kingo's valet." Karun introduced himself.

"Oh, valet. Like Alfred in Batman," Gilgamesh pointed while Kaurn nodded.

"Gilgamesh. The Deviants are back." Ikaris told him.

"No sh*t. I could have used some help." He said.

"We were attacked by a Deviant in London, too," Sprite told him and Corey nodded eagerly.

"That's how I met them!" Corey told him brightly.

"Even Ikaris couldn't kill it," Sersi continued skipping over what Corey had said.

"You couldn't?" Gilgamesh asked him.

"I was distracted," Ikaris told them.

"Sure, man." Gilgamesh laughed.

"Hey, you guys wanna try my pie?" He asked.

"Yes 100%!" Corey said shaking her hands out at her sides excited.
