Flonne's echo could be heard as she cried in the woods. She ran for minutes before coming to a huge rocks next to each other, forming a little stone hut-like thing. She cried while taking refuge in the rock, away from what had happened.
Out of nowhere, Seta came and found her crying.
"Hey, what's wrong?" He tried asking peacefully as to not to upset her. He sat right next to her. Before he could react, Flonne gave him a huge hug.
"Oh Seta it was horrible!" She sobbed in his chest. "The gift you gave me to give to him, the statue thing? He doesn't even take a glance at it, and just breaks the whole thing!" She said, crying louder as she said this.
Seta through an arm around her neck, patting her head to calm her down.
"Hey, relax, it's alright. I'll just make another." He tried saying happily.
"You don't get it!" She said tugging at his shirt. She looked at him with tears still forming in her eyes. "He simply didn't like me to begin with! No matter how he acts, he simply doesn't care anymore!" she said going back to crying.
Seta was in a deep thought about this. He knew it was the girl he was suppose to kill as well, even though she doesn't know that, but after all she's been through he's been getting a mixed feeling about this whole thing.
"You know what? I got an idea. Let's run away from this living hell. Me and you, we can start a better life somewhere else!"
"Somewhere…else?" Flonne asked questionably.
"Come on. I'll protect you from anything. Just the two of us, far away from the people, no one to bother us." Seta said holding Flonne's hands.
Flonne blushed deeply from this. Sure, she liked Seta a lot, but to live with him? And somewhere else? She was starting to ease up on the crying a bit as she was starting to feel better from what he said.
Meanwhile, Laharl and Etna were searching the woods for Flonne.
"Flonne? Flonne? Come on. I'm sorry." Laharl shouted as he walked.
"Come on Flonne. He may be a brat but I got over him too eventually." Shouted Etna behind him.
"Etna your not helping!" He replied.
"Well you are. What kind of jerk breaks something that means so much to them?!" She stammered.
"I didn't… mean…too. It was an accident alright?" He argued.
"An accident you broke it, or an accident that you didn't care." Etna replied with an angry look on her face.
"Just shut up and keep searching. I'll head down this path, you take the other." He said as he pointed at the 2 directions simultaneously.
"Fine, but be nice and apologize to her alright? We don't want another freak out like at town." She said as she started going down the path.
Laharl looked down a bit sad at what he did. "I just hope she'll forgive me." He whispered to himself as he walked down the path. A few minutes later, he found her at a pile of rocks, but he saw Seta with her. He decided hide behind a large enough tree to think of what to say, and wait for the right moment when Seta attacks her, just so he could prove he's right.
Meanwhile, Etna walked down the path for a bit before she noticed something was wrong. She felt like she was being followed, but when she turned around there was nothing there.
When she turned back around, she saw he doppelganger staring at her right in the face. Etna screamed a tiny bit as she backed away pulling out her spear.
"What do you want?!" She yelled.
The doppelganger just grew a larger smile. "The master wants to see you now." It said.
Etna looked stunned, shocked. "You mean…right now?" Etna said lowering her weapon.
The doppelganger just nodded. Etna put away her weapon sighing. The doppel shot it's hand at the floor, opening up a black vortex. "Real's first." She said grinning. Etna closed her eyes, upset.
"I'm sorry Prince." She said walking into the vortex. When she was the, the portal disappeared as well.
"Now to find Flonny and kill her." The doppel said grinning as she walked back the path Etna came from.
Back at the rock, Flonne and Seta were still talking.
"Umm… Mr. Seta?" Flonne asked sheepishly.
"Please, call me Seta only." He replied smiling.
"I…I appreciate the offer, but I don't know." She said disappointedly. "I'm really sorry."
"Of course, no problem. Take as much time as you need to think of it." He said cheerfully. Flonne smiled a bit. They started moving their heads closer together.
Laharl kept staring, starting to grit his teeth. "Grr, when is he going to try attacking her?" He said impatiently. Then, what he saw next shocked him. They were kissing.
Laharl was torn from this. He fell to his knees in pain. His whole head was spinning around violently from what he just saw. He felt a tear roll down his face.
Suddenly, it started to storm violently. Laharl started to scream violently, as he began to change into the black demon he was before. His wings grew twice as long, as well as his antennas on his head. Once he was black, he started to form blue markings on his body, but this time he also showed an array of purple markings as well. His hands even grew in size, as his nails were twice as long.
As it started to rain, Flonne and Seta were surprised.
"That's weird." Said Flonne. " It was still sunny a minute ago."
"Never can predict when the weather will change." Said Seta Chuckling. As they got up they heard something moving in the woods.
"What was that?!" Flonne said worried. She grabbed onto Seta's arm for protection, casuing him to blush a bit.
"Relax, I'm sure it was nothing." Said Seta.
Then out of nowhere they heard Laharl near a tree.
Flonne went to check it out. "Laharl?" She asked hoping for a response. She gasped at what she saw.
Laharl was in complete black with blue and orange marking on his body, just like she saw in her image, except without red. Laharl let out a tremendous roar. It blew away the trees and Flonne. Luckly, Seta saved her before getting crashed into one of the trees.
"I got you." He yelled to surpass the shouting. He jumped high into the sky where he was floating.
"What? How are you…" Flonne was asking when she looked down. She saw he was wearing boots with wings on them.
"Like them? I call them feather boots, allow you to float or fly wherever needed." He replied with a tiny smile.
They both heard Laharl shouting again and looked down. Lightning was striking all around the woods.
"Laharl!" Flonne was shouting, hoping he could hear what she was saying.
She saw Laharl forming his hands together, gathering energy into a giant spear. She knew he was about to attack. It only took him a few seconds to grow it into twice the size of his body, aiming it at them.
"Laharl no!" She screamed.
