Chapter 7 : Black One, White One Part 2

Few hours later, Battlefield

"Hah…hah…hah…"

Alisa has been exhausting after that tiring battle. She has pretty wounded, but she still able to stand up.

"Why you force yourself? You know that doing all of this is pointless."

On other side, Dante doesn't look really wounded, he only get some scratch. More than that, he doesn't look exhausting after all of battle.

"Shut up! I will…hah…hah…not stop…hah… until I know…hah…your reason defecting!"

"I told you that's not your business. If you know my reason of defecting, then what will you do after that happen?"

"It's up to your reason."

"…"

Dante can't understand what this woman thinking. She just comes all the way here, do something like that, and even to be injured like that just to know his reason defecting?

"Just get over with it. I don't want to look you like that anymore."

"Just get over with it!? Then what about you?! Make yourself like dead, disappear all this time, and suddenly come out still alive and defecting? Why Dante? Why you do that?!"

"…That's…you will not understand it."

"I can! I can understand it if you tell what's really going on! Someone like you will not just defecting without a reason!"

"…Alisa."

Dante can't say anything to her reactions. She really not gives up about what she doings. Dante feel bad about it.

"You told me to not let my guard down all the time. But looks like you letting yourself."

Dante don't realize someone is already on his back. Before Dante even take a distance or even take preventive action, the person thrust her laser blade to Dante, penetrate his body.

"GAAAGH!"

The bloods spurt out from his mouth. His body who get penetrate get pretty bloody. Dante can't even move his body because get holding by her laser blade.

"Ellen…you…"

"Heh! After all of big talk you say to me, you end up be the one who weak."

She grip hard her laser blade and pull out from Dante body. A lot of bloods spurt out everywhere. It even can see a big hole on his body.

"AAAGH! Damn you…backstabber…"

"Who is really backstabber? You backstabber us, this is your consequently."

The blood rushes out form his body. It can be look that he will fall down in any second.

Meanwhile on Franxius

"Why you call me on this time?"

Kotori get called to Franxius. Shido who curios about what happens come too, along with Yuki who get take care when Dante was gone.

"Commander. We get some visualization of something on city."

"It is have any connecting regarding the spacequake alarm that I just heard?"

"Yes. But there is no spirit wavelength around. But the wizards just attack someone."

"Someone?"

"Yes. And it's look like Dante."

"Dante? The it's mean that spacequake alarm is just a buff to make sure there is no witness about what they doing."

"Mostly."

"Then, show me on the screen."

"Roger!"

Then one of crews does something with the panel in front of him. The screen then changes to image of current battlefield.

What they see… is image that Dante surround by wizards and wounded pretty hard.

"Dante!"

Yuki says that with a loud voice. She can't image that Dante can be like that.

"I will come to Dante location to help him!"

"Wait, Yuki! This is dangerous to go alone by yourself."

"But can you see?! Dante is needed a help. If we don't do anything Dante will…"

"Just…wait here. We will try to help Dante to get out from that place, right Kotori?"

"He just makes more problems. But because he is our 'comrade', we will try our best…"

Before Kotori end her words, one of crew call her.

"Commander! We detect a spirit wavelength!"

"What?! Here? Right now?! Where is it?!"

"It's moving with such high speed. If my estimate is correct, based on spirit speed and its direction of movement, it was moving to…"

"To where?!"

"…D-Dante exact locations!"

"What?!"

Meanwhile on battlefield

"You look pretty bad, Dante. If you be a good boy and surrender right now, we will try at least healing you."

Ellen says that with such sarcastic tone. From Dante face it can be surely look like he will not surrender easily. But suddenly Dante not moving for a second, until he makes a grin.

"What are you laughing? From my view, there is nothing that can make something funny."

"Heh! Says anything you like. You will regret it."

"I wouldn't. Then, Bandersnatch Units capture him immedia…"

Before she end her words, the surrounding somehow shacking.

"What the… What happen?!"

"Adeptus 1! There is a something heading to your place. From its wavelength, it was a spirit!"

"Eh?! What just…wait, don't tell me you…"

Looking to her reaction, Dante just make a grin.

Suddenly the shacking becomes harsher. The clouds on sky rotate, making a circle that surrounds them. The lighter rocks get flying. The wind blowing hard. It's like a catastrophe was occurring.

"Don't tell me…spacequake?! All units! Go away from the locations, now!"

Alisa commands other wizards to go away with other wizards who still unconscious, brought by them. Ellen too get away from the estimate location of spacequake, who near Dante current location.

Suddenly...the white light comes from sky.

When the white light hit the ground, the surrounding engulfed in a blinding light. Dante get engulf to by the light too. The surrounding gets destroyed by a deafening explosion, and a fierce shockwave. The light become bigger and the destruction around it become wider. Suddenly the light stop, shrink and vanish. When the light vanish, there can be seen a two figure of silhouette. One is Dante who already change to his normal clothes with his usual black coat, but still grip his body part who get wounded. The other one is a young man with white coat and his face covered by hood. He holding a white dyed katana that length is as his body height.

"That's…no way…"

Alisa, as well other wizards can't belief what they seen with their own eyes. The one they seen are…

"…The White Spirit, Slayer."

The one they see is the spirit Slayer, a spirit that only coming when there is another spirit nearby. But this time, there is no spirit nearby.

"You're late."

Dante says that to white spirit.

"Better than not coming."

The white spirit response to Dante words.

"Alright. Anyway, how about it? Find anything?"

"As always. Nothing."

"Hah…like always huh?"

"How about you? You look not good."

"Hah! It's nothing, compare to what happened to me on past."

"Always like that. If you do it too much, you're surely will dead soon."

"There is no way I will dead. Not until that…"

They both talking like a normal situation. Even though they know they are surrounding by a wizards from any direction.

"So…my suggestion is right. You have some connection with Slayer."

Ellen says that with a laser blade ready on her grip.

"Eh…?"

Dante reaction… somehow unpredicted. He only shows (-_-) face toward Ellen.

"Well it doesn't matter. It was nice time. I never try to capture two targets on same time like this. More than that, the most targeted target."

"…"

Hearing Ellen says that, Dante looks to White Spirit.

"Hey Nishiro…"

"Yeah…"

"Looks like she… not understand anything…"

"Mostly."

"Then, its look like the best time we tell her the truth…"

"Yeah…"

They both facing Ellen. Suddenly the strong wind gusting and open up Nishiro hood who cover his face.

"Eh…?"

Ellen can't believe what she seen.

"Eh…"

Alisa and other wizards can't believe what they seen.

"Eh…"

All people on Franxius can't believe what they seen on screen.

EEEEEEEEHHHHHHH!?

All of them scream that aloud. Because…

"T-two…D-Dante's…"

Alisa can't really believe what she sees, make her trembling. What she seen is the spirit Slayer is… having same face as Dante?!

"What…on earth is going on?!"

Ellen says it aloud. She surely knows that Dante is human, well… not pretty normal human. But what she seen is now was another Dante who she looks before as Slayer. Only different is he has white hair and light blue eyes.

Meanwhile on Franxius

"The one on black coat is Dante, right?"

Kotori says that with such trembling sound.

"Y-yeah."

All of crew says that.

"And in white coat…is Dante…, right?"

"T-that's…correct…"

All people on Franxius can't believe what they really seen, except Yuki.

"Yuki…is Dante…have a twin brother?"

"Nope."

"Okay…wait! Why you so calm about it?"

"Eh? Is this thing must become something problematic?"

"IS IT!"

All people says it a loud.

Back to battlefield

"Well… it doesn't matter whatever you two have same face or twin. I still on my previous mission, capture you Dante, along with Slayer too."

Ellen ready her laser blade and looks like will attack anytime.

…

"You…" –Dante

"…want…" –Nishiro

"…to defeat us?!" –both of them with such a manly face

Back to reality (That's just imagination?!)

"Like that?"

Dante says that when he pointed to his imagination.

"Impossible. For me."

"Don't say that, Nishiro. It will awesome if we can do something like that!"

"Rejected. There is no way I will do that."

"Hah… you're sure really hard to get cooperated with."

Well… it's more like they begin 'they own world' talking. Ellen who already on her battle stance just in her place with "It's really annoying, those two" face.

"Well. Anyway, back to main topic. You want to defeat us? It's impossible you know?"

"For me there is no impossible. Are you forgetting the fact that you injured?"

"Well… look it yourself."

Dante showed the body part he was wounded, but there is no wound on there.

"That's impossible! Don't tell me… regenerative abilities?!"

"Well… guess it by yourself."

Because those two, the tension of place is up and down.

"Anyway if you want to, I don't mind Ellen. But I will not holding back."

"Then let's get it over with."

The tension is rise again. The (real) battle will mostly start.

"Nishiro. You mostly exhausted after flying that far with such a speed. Let me do the rest."

"Are you sure? That wound is not really completely healed."

"Trust me. I will be okay."

"…..Okay. I trust you."

"Okay then, come here…"

Dante directed his left arms toward Nishiro. Suddenly, Nishiro glowed in bright light. His body disappears and only leaves the white katana. Then Dante take the white katana, suddenly part of his coat become white, as well as some part of his hair.

"Let me show you… my true power…"

Dante make a stance of person who will unsheathe his katana in front of him.

"Let's get started!"

Dante and Nishiro voice mix up when he says that. Dante then unsheathe the katana. When he do that, the surround of him blast with powerful shockwave.

His shirt change to clothe-like wiring suit, combined with some metal that manifested on some of his body part. His coat change to fully white and look like combined of his coat and Nishiro coat with hood. His trouser change to white and have some metal on some part.

When he fully unsheathes his katana, he closes his eyes. His hair turned fully white. When he open his eye, the eye color change from dark brown to light blue.

"Last chance, Ellen. Still want to continue?"

"I will not take back my words."

"Then don't hate me about anything will happen. And…oh yeah…"

"Huh?"

"Because I want to make it one on one, then…"

He flicked his finger. Suddenly, other wizard's loss their consciousness, leaving Dante, Alisa and Ellen alone.

"Eh~~ I think only me and Ellen who will leave alone, but you can withstand it. Looks like you are really changed from last time, eh? But…"

Dante disappear and appeared on Alisa back.

"…sorry."

Dante hit pretty hard on Alisa neck with his hand.

"Ackh! D…Dante…"

He then catch her body who falling because she unconscious. He then put down on safe place.

"Even right now you still try to not really hurt other. As expect that you still naïve."

After Ellen says that, Dante only direct his eye toward Ellen.

"What did you just say early?"

Dante look with serious face.

"Eh? I say that you still nai…"

Before Ellen can end her words, Dante suddenly appear on front of Ellen.

"Don't. Call me. Naïve."

From that Ellen surely know what happen, Dante get pissed off.

"Tch!"

She slashes her laser blade toward Dante, but easily gets parried by Dante.

"I already on good mood before, but you just make me pissed off."

Dante lift his katana.

"You make a wrong choice."

With fast as light Dante swing his katana. Ellen tried to avoid it, but some part of her CR-Unit get cut and destroyed.

"Tch!"

"If you want to stay alive, go away now or…"

He thrust his katana towards Ellen.

"…I will not hesitate to kill you."

Dante developed the killing aura. It's really cold. Even Ellen can feel like her hand trembling just because she sees his cold eye.

"I will not take back my words. I will capture you…no, I will kill you! You're the enemy of Ike. You deserve to die. Even that means that killing myself."

"…"

Dante don't say anything.

"Then choose…"

"What?!"

"You go away… or Issac death."

"!"

Hearing that, she stopped on her place. The person in front of her gives a choice. And looks like he not joking at all.

"Heh! I don't get scarred to that snarling of yours…"

"This is not a joke. Leave or he dies."

Ellen can't surely make a decision. If she leaves, Issac will still alive. But if still want to deal with him, she can't guarantee that his words is lies.

"Tch! Fine, then I will leave. But don't think it was over."

Ellen then fly away from spot, mostly come back to her place belonging.

"…"

He looks to sky.

It's that true that I still naïve…

Aria….

And sun light comes to the end of day. Leave the world around with darkness.

Meanwhile on other place

"Ara~ ara~ Dante-san. You're such a guy. It was make me more and more want to eat you."

A girl with long twintails black hair, watch over Dante from afar. She wears a crimson and black elegant Gothic Lolita dress. Any men who look her right now will easily fall for her. But will end up to be their nightmare.

"But~, not now. Even you're try to look strong, that hole inside your heart…no one can replace it, even myself."

She took her gun that she holding on her right and points it to her head.

"Slowly but surely, you will get eaten by your own feeling. But I know you're strong person, so… don't get lost your way, Dante."

"Zafkiel. Aleph."

When she says that, she shoots herself and disappears from location.
