While walking back home from school, Michael was busy focused looking at his right hand intently, he felt something strange within himself after summoning his sacred gear by himself; he tried to guess what it was. But right now, he needed to focus on something important, rescuing Raynare and thanking her for saving his life after that he didn't know what to do...
But one thing is for certain if he's going to do it, then he's doing it himself with no one's help not even from those devils...
(Flashback)
"No." Michael shook his head everyone in the room wasn't surprised by the answer but wondered why he chose it.
"I'm sorry for wasting your time." Michael bowed then headed for the door.
"Could you please at least explain why you refused the offer?" Rias crossed her arms.
"Why?" Michael stopped himself from reaching for the doorknob then turned back, "Because I don't feel like being tied down as a servant without a reason except just for power, sure it sounds awesome but that's not worth giving away my human life." Michael shook his head, "But I do want strength I can achieve on my own and I don't want someone else to do that for me."
"I see." Rias sighed.
"But don't get the wrong idea, I won't tell anyone about this stuff so relax." Michael scratched the back of his head then grinned, "Because something as huge as this deserves to be kept a secret so rely on me, Bet on it!"
Everyone in the room smiled at that resounding promise except Koneko who continued to stare stoically at the boy who grew even uncomfortable.
'Come on, not even a little smile? This brat and I weren't going to get along at all.' Michael sweatdropped.
"And besides, you guys said your race has been at war with the fallen angels, so I'll handle it myself and save Raynare. While proving that even I can beat powers higher than that of any human!" Michael roared excitedly.
'Then maybe I can get known for something, hehehehe!' Michael gave a dirty laugh in his head.
"Michael-kun." Akeno called the boy, "But are you sure that you want to save someone as lowly as her? She did try to kill you." Akeno made a serious expression.
"Meh!" Michael shrugged, "I don't care about that since I'm still alive and breathing, and besides, she's my friend so I won't just leave her hanging."
Akeno was visibly surprised by that statement as Michael opened the door behind him while looking back.
"Be honored that you met me, all of you because the next time that we meet, I'm gonna be someone that you'll want to be jealous of! Hahahaha!" Michael laughed heartily and walked out the room, but was stopped suddenly by Rias.
"Michael-kun, wait." Rias grabbed the teen's shoulder.
"Huh?" Michael looked back.
'Gah! You ruined the moment! Why must everyone do that!' Michael screamed in his head.
(Present)
"So, she stopped me just to give me these, huh?" Michael lazily looked at a pair of seals in his hand while walking back home after school, but took his sweet time which made the time pass by quickly as the moon slowly rose into the night sky when he crosses over the road that he was on.
"Man, and I was trying to act all cool and stuff. What a drag..." Michael rubbed the back of his neck tiredly.
'But wait a second...' Michael thought in realization.
"I just totally rejected an offer with the ORC the most well-known club on campus. Thus, making me one of the first to be able to do that!" Michael then fell to his knees while cheering, "I'm gonna be a legend after all!"
Michael giddily laughed to himself as he would tell some of the people who knew and answer their overly excited questions about them. Oh, the envy and praises he'll receive!
Then the atmosphere around the empty road grew cold, but not the night cold this one felt similar as before.
"How sad, a human being so happy that he'll be excluded from an activity with other humans..." A mature female's voice said with the pattering of slow footsteps.
"Who said that?" Michael turned around to see a pair of black wings over the horizon of the road, "Black wings again? Could it be..." Michael remembered the face of the bastard Dohnaseek, "Him?"
But to his surprise it was just an approaching woman who seemed rather tall for a woman but she had a tall and buxom figure with long, navy blue hair that obscured her right eye and brown eyes. Her attire consisted of a violet, trenchcoat-like top with a wide collar, a matching miniskirt, and black heeled shoes. The trench coat top was open at her chest, giving view to her breasts and cleavage. She also wore a gold necklace around her neck.
"It seems you were the human that Dohnaseek had trouble dealing with, but I still don't detect any sort of threat from you at all." The woman examined Michael closely while exuding a large killing intent.
"Who are you?" Michael asked.
"Seeing as how you're the one who's about to die, then I wouldn't worry about names." The woman summoned a yellow spear of light.
"Well, then I'll tell you mine. I am Michael Hanamura, a guy you'll soon regret messing with!" Michael proclaimed.
"Like I said names are the least of your problem, and even if I did hear of you, then I wouldn't have given a second thought of forgetting you even exist as we speak." The woman lunged at Michael with incredible speed and thrusts her spear at the boy
"Whoa, that's fast!" Michael rolled away from the attack as the spear crashes into the ground with a loud...
*DON!*
Michael looks up to see a small sized crater to where he was standing.
"Okay, note to self: Don't get hit by that." Michael gulped.
"Hold still!" The woman thrusts her light spear at Michael once again.
"Whoa!" Michael jumps to the side dodging the attack.
"Hah!" The woman then twists on her heel and kicks Michael on the side of his hip.
*BAM!*
"Urgh!" Michael grunts as he crashes into the wall.
"Die!" The woman lunged in for the final kill.
'Alright this is it I can't hesitate now if I can somehow knock her out maybe she can tell me where Raynare is!' Michael composed himself and charges at the woman.
"Now you're going to grow a pair and fight?" The woman smirked.
"Just watch! I'll blow you away!" Michael shoots his fist forward at the woman's face pushing her back with the blow.
"Ngh!" The woman stuttered back.
'Oh, crap! I just punched a girl. Now I feel like a jackass.' Michael looked at his fist with half lidded eyes.
But this was stopped once he heard the laughter of the woman as she stood up.
"Is that really the best you can do?" She looked at Michael with an overconfident smile and fixed her hair.
It looks like she did not receive any damage at all.
"What? I just punched you." Michael gasped in shock.
"So?" The woman questioned.
"So, shouldn't girls being crying in pain after getting hit?" Michael questioned.
"Why would you think that?" The woman narrowed her eyes.
"Because girls are weaker in strength compared to us guys!" Michael crossed his arms.
...An awkward silence overtook the atmosphere as a growing killing intent caught Michael off guard.
"You humans really are the worst." The woman grew a yellow fierce aura around herself as she formed a longer more menacing light spear, "Especially the male majority!"
"Hey, I'm not trying to be sexist! Just saying the truth, lady!" Michael raised his hands up defensively and leaned back from an incoming light spear thrust to the head.
With a single swipe of the spear the weapon was able to graze Michael's right cheek and cause a moderate amount of it to spill out.
"Calm down!" Michael panicked as the attack didn't end just there now the spear was pulled back and cut against Michael's left thigh.
"Agh!" Michael fell back gripping his bleeding leg as the fallen angel stood over him.
"Pathetic, and you say men are the strongest, but maybe in the end, you're just not one at all." The woman laughed arrogantly.
'Come on! How do I summon my sacred gear again? Seriously, how because right now I definitely need it!' Michael looked at his hand and thought these words, 'Awaken! No? I summon Thee! No? Persona! Whoops, wrong series! Uh...Excelsior! Aw, come onnnn!' Michael failed many times just to summon the thing but it just wouldn't work.
*ZING!*
Though his attention was grabbed as the woman points her light spear towards Michael's throat.
"I still don't see why she couldn't kill you?" The woman said with boredom in her eyes.
"She? Wait, you mean Raynare-chan, don't you?" Michael asked still a little strained at his current position.
The woman responded with a simple nod and continued, "That's her but seriously she needs to pick better taste in men especially if she chooses a weakling like you, jeez that girl just doesn't know how to get her act straight that it really sickens me."
Michael gritted his teeth at the comment.
"But I was still curious as to why a fallen angel, who deeply lusted over our leader succumbed to the idea of forsaking such feelings, so she can now adore a bland human." The woman shrugged, "Many thoughts came into my head, so I decided to secretly watch you for the day and nothing came to mind about you at all. In fact, just to end this boredom, I wanted to do the world a favor and wipe you off the earth just for the hell of it."
"Shut up..." Michael growled under his breath.
"Hm?" The woman looked down upon the trembling Michael.
"Like I care about what you have to say about me or how I live my life. If it's something you don't like, then don't get involved." Michael clenched his fist, "Now tell me where Raynare-chan is. I have to thank her."
"You sure do talk big for someone in a pitiful position!" The woman intended to finish the boy off with a stab through his head but to her surprise Michael caught the blade just inches to his head.
"Tell me. Where is she...?" Michael growled lowly.
"Are you an idiot? Like I would ever tell a human information like that, and besides why would you even look for the person who tried to kill you?" The woman struggled trying to push the spear further but it wouldn't budge.
Although it may seem impressive, Michael's hand was burning as hell it felt as if he was being burned by a lick of flames but he still held on.
"Because she's my friend and I wouldn't leave her in the dark especially if that bastard who mocked her is with her!" Michael was able to stand as a bright red aura surrounds his leg's wounds giving him the strength to stand through the pain.
'What?' The fallen angel was aghast at the sight, but lost sight of her target.
"Friends are Friends, no matter who or what they are, and what friend would I be if I can't even help her!?" Michael's right hand then became enveloped in a green glow as he summoned his red gauntlet by force.
[Dragon Booster!]
"Impossible!" The woman gasped.
'He holds one of the mid-tier Longinus Sacred Gears this isn't good at all!' The woman thought.
With the boosted Gear out, Michael was able to protect his hands from the searing heat of the light spear as he pushes it back even.
"You, a child holds such power!?" The woman's eyes grew wider in surprise.
"I don't care about whatever you're concerned about. Now, just tell me where she is." Michael looked at the woman as a great fire grew ablaze in them, "Or else!"
[BOOST!]
The extra boost of power allowed Michael to crush the spear in his hand like nothing as sent the Fallen Angel a fierce glare.
"You, stupid human! A fallen angel shouldn't even interact with the likes of you inferior beings at all!" The woman charged at Michael again.
[BOOST!]
*WHOOSH!*
Michael steps to the side as the light spear completely misses him.
The fallen angel gasps as she looks to her right to see Michael looking down upon her with anger in his eyes, he proceeds to grab her by the wrist and raise her spear gripping hand into the air as he clenched his red gauntlet clad fist tightly.
"I don't care about what you think I can and can't do!" Michael's tone became calm, "I'm doing it anyways!"
*THUD!*
Michael drove his fist into the woman's gut and sent her into the street's curved wall with a loud...
*CRASH!*
"How was that?" Michael stood ready for more as the Fallen Angel was struggling to pick herself from the strong blow but could only cough up some blood while trembling after receiving the hit.
'This power it's too great, but what makes it worse is that it's in the hands of this human...' The woman leans against the unbroken part of the wall then thought, 'He actually believes he could make friends with a Fallen Angel, interesting but I still don't see why she sees so much appeal in him?'
"You want more because I'll do my best to get the information out of you even if I have to kick your ass!" Michael growled.
"You seem really serious..." The woman smirked.
"Of course, I am! All of this is for my friend, no one else!" Michael shouted.
"Hmph! Interesting." Regaining her composure, the woman stands up and stares Michael down, "You said your name was Michael Hanamura correct?"
"Yeah." Michael nodded.
"Well, since my name hasn't been introduced yet, I am Kalawarner a Fallen Angel." Kalawarner stated then smirked, "Listen well Hanamura, Michael because I'll only say this once. I will not allow you to see Raynare as far as you'll live if you continue to pursue her then I guarantee you won't live a normal life and will eventually die in the process."
Michael gulped.
"So, are you willing to give up your life for such a thing?" Kalawarner asked seriously, 'Now let's see your true colors.'
Seeing signs of fear in Michael, Kalawarner simply shook her head and was about to raise her hand to summon another spear to resume their fight, but something unexpected happened he was...laughing?
"Hahahahaha." Michael chuckled to himself.
"What's so funny?" Kalawarner questioned.
"I never expected anything to go back to being normal, so I wouldn't mind having a hectic life, and either way, I won't die because I'll save her. That's that." Michael grinned but then realized there was a small chuckle echoing through his head strangely, but ignored it.
He slowly clenches his gear clad fist and shouts, "So come at me with everything you've got, I'll prove to you that I can blow them away!"
Kalawarner was shocked by the comment as she felt conflicted about the boy's answer then bit her lip in a somewhat irritated way, "I see that you won't just keel over and forget any of this."
"Of course, I won't and even if I did, then you guys would try to pull something else on me." Michael punched his right fist into his left palm while grinning, "That's why I'll take you all out before saving Ray-chan.
Kalawarner stared at the boy for a while then giggled to herself.
"Why are you laughing now!" Michael growled annoyed she just ruined his cool moment.
"Take us all out? How rich, you must have some pretty big balls if you can say that to a higher being!" Kalawarner mocked.
"Oi, I will do it! You'll see and I'll make you beg for mercy under my feet." Michael growled.
"Whatever, I guess that will do for now. Until next time, Hanamura, Michael." Kalawarner turned around furled her wings then launched herself into the night sky as many black feathers were left behind.
'An interesting human with strong words but those words alone will change nothing!' Kalawarner thought seriously but felt sort of envious for some reason.
Looking at the sky, Michael sighed and said, "Phew! I somehow made it."
Picking up his things, Michael then realized his sacred gear was still on and tried to put it away at will, but the damn thing wouldn't do as he pleased so he rushed home quickly and tried to resolve the issue there.
"Okay." Michael dropped his schoolbag on his bed and looked intently at the Boosted Gear, "How do I take you off?"
Michael tried pulling it off, but it wouldn't let go of his hand and thinking of no more options he slumped onto the floor in frustration.
"Why won't you come off? I can't wear this to school tomorrow, I'll look like a freak!" Michael panicked then realized, "Oh yeah, no one knows that I even exist there, but wait this isn't the time to mope around, I still have to deal with this problem, first!" Michael sighed.
[Are you really this worried over such a thing as reputation?]
A voice popped up through, Michael's head as the Boosted Gear's Jewel began to glow bright as each word was said.
"Of course, its Highschool! Mankind's horrible educational system!" Michael cried.
[That's not a reason at all.]
The voice said.
"Hey, who asked you!?" Michael shouted at the jewel then blinked, "Eh?" He examined the Jewel more closely and blinked, "Did I just hear?"
[Nice to meet you, Partner.]
It literally took Michael five seconds to digest the talking jewel as he screamed his ass off, "AAAAAAAAAHHHH!"
[I expected a reaction like that from you, so-]
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Michael continued to scream.
[Listen. For me to get through this, I won't allow this to go on so relent on the screaming!]
With a will of its own, Michael's right hand slapped his face twice shutting him up.
"Okay, I'm cool, I'm cool..." Michael said calmly then shouted, "Who the hell are you!?"
[I won't answer questions that are shouted towards me I expect a respectful one.]
"What, but you're just a talking jewel in my sacred gear, so you should be answering to me with no attitude, pal!" Michael said with a rude tone.
[...]
"Oi, don't just ignore me!" Michael shouted.
[If you believe more shouting is a way for me to respond to you, then let me give you a hint of its affect: It won't.]
"Grr!" Michael growled, 'Man, first he pops out of nowhere and now he's acting like he's suddenly the mature one here. What a douche this guy or thing is!'
[I'm not trying to act mature, you're just acting childish.]
"What the-! Did you just read my mind!?" Michael gasped.
[...]
'Okay, this is just getting freaky and things won't progress at this rate.' Michael sighed to relax himself and sat up.
"Hello, my name is Michael Hanamura, and you are?" Michael calmly asked.
[Now was that so hard?]
'Just shut up and tell me, who you are goddamit!?' Michael clenched his fist in anger.
[I am the Spirit currently being held within the Boosted Gear, the sacred gear that you currently possess.]
"Yeah, that's right. Rias-senpai did say that it was powered by a Belch Dragon or something." Michael scratched his head in confusion.
[*Sigh!* It's Welsh Dragon, kid.]
"Yada! Yada! Who cares, so your name is?" Michael quirked an eyebrow.
[Ddraig...]
"Pfft!" Michael held back his laughter.
[It's rude to make fun of the names of others you know.]
"I know, but you don't count. You're a soul in my boosted gear, meaning that I can do what I want." Michael smirked and points to himself.
[Okay, kid, we're going to lay down some ground rules before we continue this partnership.]
"Huh, who said you can run the shots? You're just a-Chk!" Michael boosted gear clad hand began to strangle him.
[First, you will address me by name and be respectful. Second, you will not try to degrade my current state any more than necessary. Lastly, you will not try to push your boundaries. Do I make myself clear?]
Ddraig's control over Michael's hand loosened as the choking teen quickly nods and gasps for air upon being released.
[Good.]
Mumbling to himself in anger, Michael wasn't so cheery about his new "Partner".
XXX
The next day, Michael was running to school apparently late again with no difference whatsoever.
"Damn! Damn! Damn! I can't believe that I'm late again!" Michael screamed as he just rushed forward while cursing himself he remembered to set his alarm clock this time around but he forgot to actually turn the alarm on instead.
'Stupid Dragon being an ass! Stupid Alarm Clock! Stupid me because I forgot to take lunch with me!' Michael cursed himself.
[I can still read your thoughts.]
Ddraig said out of nowhere.
'Hey, shut up!' Michael growled as he looked up then widened his eyes as he was about to crash into someone in his way...again.
"Look out! I can't stop!" Michael wailed as he took big unbalanced steps.
"Eh?" A girl around the age 15 with long blonde hair and green eyes. Her hair flows all the way down to her back, with split bangs over her forehead and a single strand sticking out from the top, sloping backwards as she wore a dark teal nun outfit with light blue accents, a white veil over her head with light blue accents, a brown satchel slung on her right hip, and brown boots with black straps in an X-shaped pattern. She also wears a silver cross necklace around her neck.
"Watch out, I'm going to fall!" Michael cried as the girl simply drops her things and runs to Michael to his dismay.
"Don't worry, I'll catch you!" The girl reassured the boy who quickly shook his head at the action rapidly.
"No! What are you doing? If you do that, then both of us will-!"
*BAM!* *THUD!*
Michael and the girl crashed into each other foreheads banging against another as the both fell on the floor gripping their throbbing heads in pain.
"Auuuuu, that hurt." The girl sniffled.
"Ouch!" Michael rolled around on the floor holding while crying, but by the time he stood up he sets his sights to the girl behind him and shouted, "Hey, what's your deal!?"
"Huh?" The girl disregarded the pain and looks to the furious boy.
"Don't 'huh' me! You know exactly what you did!" Michael growled.
"I'm sorry, I was just trying to help." The girl looked away as her eyes grew more watery.
"First off if you wanted to help, then you should have just stood there and let me fall! Second, to make sure no more others like yourself just now get hurt, never get involved, you either back away, okay!?" Michael shouted as the girl began to grow more sadder.
"I-I'm sorry, p-please forgive me." The girl was about to cry.
"What the hell? Are you crying?" Michael looked at the girl more closely then looked around to see many people looking at him with judging stares and with his performance he did terribly bad.
"Look at that student, he's harassing a girl for no reason." A few gossiping mothers passed by.
"I heard from my grocer that he's that orphaned kid, who would usually buys nothing but junk foods or pre-made foods every day." The other mom said.
"That bastard should just die for shouting at a defenseless girl like that." A male student from Kuoh said to his group of friends.
"Hey, as soon as that girl leaves lets kick his ass."
Michael immediately gulped at the hearing of this, then grabbed the girl by her hands and said,
"It's okay~! I forgive you, so don't cry! See? See!? I'm all better, so don't worry, alright~!" Michael chuckled nervously.
[You could have apologized after you scolded her.]
'Okay, dude, I can't control my mouth and this is basically the story of my life so get used to it.' Michael sighed.
"Really, you forgive me?" The girl asks with those pair of puppy dog eyes.
"Of course, I do. Now let's walk far away...from here," Michael looks behind his shoulders to see the approaching male students, "Because I don't think the park is a good place to indulge in bonding over a new-found friend yay~!"
Michael grabbed the girl's hand and race walked away from the park as the male students simply looked at each other and pulled on their VVV executioner hoods except one.
"Dammit, Kyle-kun, why don't you have yours on!?" One of the students shouted.
"Because I'm dating someone now." Kyle one of the generic students shrugged.
"WHAT!?" The VVV members screamed at the top of their lungs.
"Why are you so surprised?" Kyle questioned.
"It's nothing, man. Just go to school, okay?" The VVV looked depressed.
"You're not even going to attack me?" Kyle shouted.
"Your just not worth the effort, dude. Just leave." The VVV then stalked away while following Michael.
"Douchebags." Kyle spat then walked away, "I'm sure that Genshirou-kun will want hang out with me." Kyle smiled as Saji walked past him with half lidded eyes.
"Not a chance, pal." Saji groaned.
"Crap!" Kyle ran away crying.
With Michael, the teen and the young girl were conversing about what happened which was mainly him forgiving the many 'I'm sorry' pleas that were thrown his way. As that was moved out of the way Michael realized the girl's appearance was not common in the area and asked,
"Hey, are you from another country or something?"
"Why yes, I am. I'm currently here to work at the church in the area." The girl explained.
"Really well you do look like a nun but shouldn't your hair be covered or something to conceal yourself from someone else other than god?" Michael asked.
"..." Asia looked at Michael with a smile then continued, "Would you happen to know where the church is?"
[Dodging the question with silence first then continues with another topic what a smart girl.]
"Yeah, I do, but I don't know if it's the one you want to look at though." Michael said.
"Don't worry if it's not, then I'll look for it myself." The girl cutely smiled which brought a grin to Michael's face.
"You know, you are just adorable." Michael chuckled.
"I am?" The girl grew a pink hue on her cheeks then looked away, "Thank you, that's very nice of you."
"No problem." Michael nodded then inhaled sharply as he took a bad step forward.
'Darn, my legs still hurt.' Michael winced in pain.
"Excuse me are you, okay?" The nun asked with a tinge of worry in her tone.
"No, it's nothing. I'm fine." Michael shook his head but then stopped to feel his scarred legs in pain, "Nothing to worry about."
"No, your injured. Let me see your legs really quick." The nun grew serious as she forced Michael to sit on a nearby bench and rolled up his pants to see two freshly slash marks on his legs still fresh with blood slowly drying up.
"Oh no, you seem to be hurt quite badly!" The nun gasped.
"Oh, these? Don't worry, I was just juggling a set of knives at home and accidentally dropped them on my legs is all." Michael lied.
"No, I can't let this go unhealed if it does stay like this, then it may get infected. So, let me handle it." The nun placed her hands onto Michael's leg and closed her eyes.
"Um...is something going to happen or?" Michael questioned, but shut his mouth as soon as a pair of rings appeared on the nun's hands and started to glow bright green as it steadily healed.
'Whoa, this is cool.' Michael thought in his head.
"Wow, I'm actually starting to feel better." Michael smiled.
"Yes, it's quite amazing, isn't it?" The nun smiled, "Some say that it was a blessing that I received this power to heal other as a blessing."
"Really? That may be true." Michael was happy that good things happen to good people as always.
"But others say that it's just a curse." The nun said to herself.
"What did you say?" Michael asked.
"Oh, nothing to worry about. Now let's see your cheek, too." The nun smiled.
As soon as the treatment to his legs and soon his cheek was done, the pair approached the church that Michael doubted would be the nun's destination.
'This is an abandoned Church that me and my old pal used to race to whenever we got bored in town. I wonder if she really wants to go here.' Michael thought as he looked over to the nun who looked greatly happy for just being in its presence.
[By her sparkling eyes, I could've figured that out.]
'Quiet you.' Michael's eyebrow twitched in annoyance.
"So, this must, be it?" Michael questioned.
"Yes, it is! Thank you for leading me here." The nun bowed.
"No, problem anything for a newbie to the country, just make sure to call on I, Michael Hanamura, if your ever in need of anything alright!" Michael grinned.
"Teehee! Don't worry, I will and I'm Asia Argento by the way." Asia bowed.
"Okay, that was nice, but you know what could be better though?" Michael crossed his arms.
"Um, what was nice?" Asia tilted her head.
"Your introduction, but you should really go all out and exclaim it for all to hear." Michael chuckled.
"B-But wouldn't that be rude?" Asia asked.
"No, we're near an old church with no one inside. I'm sure that we'll fine." Michael grinned then punched the air over him and shouted, "Now proclaim your name with pride!"
"Uh...okay." Asia copied Michael and said, "M-My name is A-Asia Argento?"
"Come on, you gotta put feeling into it. Say it like this!" Michael then roared, "Hello it is I, the Great Michael Hanamura!"
"Right, I understand." Asia nodded then tried again, "Greetings, I am Asia Argento."
"Louder." Michael crossed his arms
"Greetings, I am Asia Argento!"
"I still can't hear you." Michael shook his head.
Taking a deep breath, Asia then exclaimed, "GREETINGS IT IS I, ASIA ARGENTO!"
Asia looks over to Michael who nods with both eyes closed.
"That is all I have to teach you, young grasshopper." Michael bowed like a wise Chinese master.
This caused the two to laugh.
"Well, I'm late for school, so see ya." Michael waved farewell while leaving.
"Wait, Michael-kun, um... are we f-friends?" Asia called out.
"Of course, we are. Once we first saw each other, eye to eye, we were already destined to be friends." Michael still continued to walk, "I'll make sure to visit you, anytime I get the chance, alright?"
"Really?" Asia gasped.
"Bet on it!" Michael thrusts his fist in the as he makes it to the street.
"There's the heretic get him!" 5 VVV members darted towards Michael.
"Don't you people have lives, too!?" Michael cried as he ran away from the dangerous group.
"Friends? Yes, that sounds very nice indeed." Asia placed her hand on her silver cross then proceeded to carry her suitcase inside the church as within two masculine figures watched from within through the murky glass.
"That man you just saw with the nun was a stray devil disguising himself to match the appearance of a human show no mercy towards him understood." The figure handed a picture to the white-haired figure who simply gave a sick grin.
"Oooooohohoo! A shitty devil trying to live like a normal guy, huh? How interesting, I wonder… What color his blood will be!?" The figure laughed dementedly.
(After School)
"Man, what an unfair day." Michael sighed as he went through a day of nothing but torture from the VVV members the envious complaints of the Perverted Duo, who were able to hear of his encounter with the academies two great ladies. And basically having no one to hang out with so pretty much the day was just another waste as usual.
[There will be ups and downs to life don't think it'll always be excited.]
"Who asked you, stupid dragon?" Michael spat and folded his arms behind his head, "That's right I didn't."
[Look, I can see why you may dislike me, but you have to realize that everything shouldn't revolve around you, so grow up.]
"Yeah, yeah because if you do good things for others good things will happen to you, too. Blah blah blah, and phht!" Michael said with a mocking tone then blew a raspberry.
[Yes, that may be true, but that's not what I'm saying because you should consider listening to the advice of someone, besides yourself for once and try to think things through or you'll never egress.]
Michael stopped as he reached his apartment's stairs and glared at the green mark on his hand, "Can't advance on my own? Is that it? Are you saying that I'm not good enough to gain anything even if I bust my ass off?"
It seems that he misunderstood what Ddraig was trying to tell him.
[No, don't twist my words into something else. Just think about it for once.]
"You know what? Maybe I don't wanna think things through all the time!" Michael growled, "Also, you know, maybe I just wanna be alone and solve everything myself without your help 'partner' because since I'm the wielder of the Boosted Gear, I could do what I want! Whenever I want! Without your help, so why don't you just shut up, stop being meddlesome in my life, and continue to be just a hollow shell of a soul!"
[...]
"Hello?" Michael called for Ddraig.
[...]
'I hate people like him, he thinks he's so high and mighty because he's older than me and stronger than me.' Michael ranted in his brain.
"Hmph! That's what I thought." Michael growled, "The nerve of that dragon trying to act so superior to me just because your stronger, well, I'll show you as I get stronger by myself without your stinking help." Michael mumbled to himself as he climbs up the stairs to his home which had an unusual setting about it that was hard to miss.
"Why is my front door kicked down?" Michael walked through it to hear the sounds of giddy humming in the small living room. Dropping his bag onto the floor Michael was about to consider using the Boosted Gear but then hesitated.
'Why should I rely on that Stupid Dragon for help that I don't even need?' Michael looked around and saw a nearby umbrella and picks it up.
Approaching the couch, Michael sees a bouncing white-haired head, humming quickly as each step, he takes gets him closer and closer to see...
"Ahhh, what a delight! First, I ransacked this shitty apartment, then dumped it everywhere and finally broke the crappy devil's Television! This is what life is all abooooouut~!" A voice creepily sighed in relaxation then sang, "Daisy~ Daisy~ that's what I'd call my son, Murder~ Murder~ that's what I do for fun~! Oh, how I'd train Daisy to grow up nice and strong~ but then I'd kill Daisy just for a bit of FUN!~"
"*Gulp!* Who are you?" Michael prepares to whack the man on the couch but he froze as soon as the man looks back upon him to reveal his red eyes and insane grin.
"Aww, welcome home you, crappy brat. I hope that you had a nice day because...it'll be the last one that you'll ever have~!" The man stuck out his tongue while cackling loudly as cocks a strange gun then points it to Michael, "Kahahahahahaha!"
*BANG!*
