As the war rages on a small group of soldiers in full body armor, carry unconscious devil soldiers into an abandoned building in an area of the underworld with less fighting.
Moving up the stairs the group open door to reveal multiple Tsunade and other medics healing devils.
"Tsunade, we have a few more here!" The soldier whose name is Steve shouts out to the lead medic.
"Lay them down right there. A few of the other medics will be with them shortly." Tsunade informs Steve and his group.
"We have to make sure they all survive, for Lord Astral's shake," Tsunade says as she moves to heal the new devils in the abandoned building.
"Wait what do you mean, for Astral's shake?" Steve asks out of confusion
"I thought he explained it to the army before we attacked." Tsunade questions
"I must have missed that portion," Steven says while scratching the back of his helmet.
"For a super soldier, I thought you'd pay more attention. Well Lord Astral has placed a spell on himself that will kill him if we are to take even a single life." Tsunade explains
"That's crazy! Astral shouldn't have done something like that. I mean what if we mess up." Steve panics
"That's why we can't mess up." Tsunade quickly retorts. "Lord Astral has done so much for all of us. He saved us from betrayal, death, or when we were lost or alone. This is the least we can do to repay him. That's why right here, right now, failure is no option." Tsunade says with a look of determination.
"I wish I could be more help." Jericho sighs as she slops down onto the floor. "I've had Twice make a few clones of me to go help our soldiers but they keep getting destroyed by high ranking devils. I guess I'm just a bit too weak right now."
"Don't say that. It's better to blame this on the devils being too strong. It's important to mind your self-esteem, even on a peerless mission." Twice says to his teammate.
"Easy for you to say. You're being useful. You're making clones of scouts and medics, Tsunade is healing everyone, Kurako is using her Senjutsu to keep our presence hidden, Flare is a guard, and Steve is bringing people here so Master Astral doesn't die. I'm doing nothing. Right now I'm just useless" Jericho sighs
"Would Astral want to hear you say that?" Steve asks
Jericho looks up at Steve in shock.
"Astral thinks of you as a brave and strong member of his peerage, I hope you haven't forgotten the words Astral said to you all those years ago," Steve says
Jericho's eyes widen as she remembers what her king had told her when she first became his pawn.
(Flashback)
Astral and Steve walk back toward the base, with the new devil Jericho behind them.
"Can I ask you a question?" Jericho asks
