After their mishap, the three girls didn"t try to test Alex"s limits again, and their time together was a bit milder. Alex was determined to keep his new skill a secret, and he was terrified at the prospect of one, or several of the girls following him in the future getting it. The recovered just in time for the conference, which Rias informed him that they all were attending with the exception of Gasper. He expected this, and wasn"t sure of what to do about this situation due to the fact that he gets used in an attack later. Eventually he decided to go with the original situation so that he at least knew what would happen, it was better than them using a bomb or something if gaspers not around.As they entered the conference room, Alex saw Serafall and Sirzechs, Azazel and Vali, and Michael and Gabriel sitting at a table. He took his seat next to Rias, and the conference began right after Sirzechs introduced them,
"My sister Rias and her peerage, Sona of the house Sitri, and Alex the red dragon emperor, all involved parties of the attack from Kokabiel several days ago." After being introduced the conference began, and the major leaders began discussing the political talk. Alex tried to follow what he could to gleam information for the future, which wasn"t lost on the leaders. After a while the talk turned to the attack, and Rias was asked to report about the incident. When she finished Azazel explained what happened after Vali took him,
"Since he acted independently and tried to ignite war once again, he was sentenced to eternal freezing and won"t be around anymore. The decision was agreed on by the organization. Now that we got that out of the way, let"s agree on peace shall we?" Azazel caught everyone off guard with his suggestion, and Alex was probably the only one that knew he was being genuine in his suggestion of peace. From what he understood Azazel was one of the ones trying the hardest for peace throughout the series, he even took the blame for the incident that led to Ophis being split, and gave up his authority as Governor General. After the initial surprise wore off, everyone agreed that peace was for the best and Azazel brought up another topic,
"Even though we agreed on peace, I want to know what the two dragons here think." Of course Vali said that he simply wants to fight strong people, and after he answered everyone looked to Alex. Rias was the only one that knew his goals, but Alex decided to say it in a downgraded version.
"I simply want to travel and fight powerful opponents, while being escorted by several beautiful women." Everyone looked surprised at his words, and there was a few awkward looks when he winked at Sona, Serafall, and Gabriel when he said beautiful women. Sona looked slightly angry with a slight blush on her face, when Serafall saw that she had a pouty expression, and Gabriel didn"t seem to know what to do in the situation. The guys in the meeting laughed awkwardly, while Azazel gave him the thumbs up and Rias didn"t say anything at his side, remembering what would happen if she prevented other women from being at his side.
At that moment there was a peculiar feeling, and time stopped in the conference room for some of the people. The ones stopped were Asia, Koneko, Akeno, and Sona, while everyone else was powerful enough not to be stopped or had an item to prevent it like xenovia"s durandal. Alex walked to the window, and saw the expected Kaos Brigade gathering outside. To the surprise of everyone present he then said,
"So the Kaos brigade is already here, shall I go say h.e.l.lo?" When they registered his words, everyone looked outside and noticed the gathering magicians. Sirzechs and Michael looked confused until Azazel clarified while giving Alex a weird gaze.
"The Kaos brigade are a group that opposes the peace of the three factions, we only knew about them recently and identified that their leader is Ophis-" he didn"t get any further though before Alex interrupted, to prevent some issues in the near future.
"Is there a guarantee that Ophis personally leading the brigade? If it"s just a situation that they gathered under her then it may be more that they"re using her." At Alex"s words the leaders became thoughtful for a moment before deciding to handle the current situation first. They discussed that Gasper is being used, and the talk of freeing him from their control started.
"I want to go get him, he"s my servant so it"s my responsibility." Alex shook his head though and said,
"We can"t have the leaders fighting, so let"s have it where the vanishing dragon, Rias and I go out and engage the enemy. While the two of you continue fighting, I should be able to get to the old school building and save him, worse case senecio I could use my blood to help him power up." Rias looked reluctant, but decided to listen to Alex due to the information he had. What he didn"t say was that this would also be a good leveling moment for her, with all of the magicians out there to practice on. Vali didn"t seem to like the idea, until Alex mentioned,
"While doing that, if the boss of the people here comes out then Vali might be able to handle him, if not I hope he could hold on until I return." As he heard Alex"s words Vali showed an irritated expression, and went out to engage the enemy. He knew Alex was purposely trying to agitate him, but his drive for a good fight was in full throttle. Rias joined him before Sirzechs could protest, and started destroying entire swaths of enemies with her recently upgraded destruction magic. As the two of them went wild, Alex left towards the old school building to save Gasper.
