[ No one's POV ]
[ In a different unknown area... as Quinella's orb was watching Deku - On the ground in pain. As he tried to run after Yuuki as he barked at her. And now - ]
"Interesting. Hehehe. He's beginning to feel it, starting to crack." Quinella smirk. "But, the problem is, the police is after him from the massacre in the hospital. Hm? Maybe I should send in someone who has a strong-hatred and love killing "Japan Players"." Quinella had an idea. Then Black approached her presence. "Hm? Yes Deku Black."
"My lady. I couldn't help but overheard you. But, may I go back and see what's going on?" Deku Black was on his knee, showing his loyalty to Quinella.
"Yes, you may do as you wish."
"Thank you, my lady." Deku Black said as he walked away from Quinella. Then as he feel someone's presence. "What do you want?"
"Hm. You notice that I was here, huh?"
"No, I sense your presence a mile away." Black was being sarcastic. "What do you want, Vassago - Oh, I'm sorry, PoH" Black said as he sees Vassago smoking
"Oh nothin' I just have a feeling that I'mma bout to be summoned by that woman. What you 'bout to do?!" Vassago questions Black
"Just going out. Seeing what's happening now." Black said
"Oh! To see what the "real" you is doing? Y'know ever since you were "born" into this world by that woman, and you look exactly like the real "Deku" I really wanted to kill you and him, not gonna lie." Vassago said
"Oh, ain't that something. If you wanna kill me, then go right ahead - If you want a one way ticket to hell." Black said
*Whistle*
"Woah, that's cold." Vassago said as he blew his cigarette. "Anyway, I believe I'mma go with you. I have a feeling that things are going to be interesting. I have this killing vibe tingling in my veins."
"Sorry that I'm not sorry but I'm going solo." Black said
"Heh! I bet you are, either way, I don't care what you do but it is what it is when it comes to taking orders from that woman. Well, I'll be on my way." Vassago inhale his cigarette and blew the air off, then he head towards Quinella.
[ As Black was heading back to town as he recovered from his injuries from his fight with Deku, Kirito and Yuuki. Then Vassago approached Quinella presence - ]
"My lady." Vassago was on knees
"Vassago, I have a good task for you."
"I'm all ears, I'm listenin'" Vassago said
"I want you to go and kill a bunch of policemen. They're after someone that I want to have in my presence. I believe they're 10 or so chasing after someone that you know..."
"Mmm. Understood."
"Good."
[ Quinella gave Vassago an order as he leave her presence... then as Quinella smirk - ]
"And now -
"I think it's time for me to "change" this world a little bit." Quinella used the purple cube, along with her "Silverly Eternity" Sword. "I believe it's about time to raise a higher level in this world for me to rule over -
System Call! -
LIGHTNING SHACKLED!!
LIGHTNING CRASHES!!
[ Quinella perform a System Ritual along with her sword while aiming upwards. The beam pass through the roof and it clashed towards the sky. As the turns into a different color! ]
"Perfect! That was enough for the System Ritual to change the effects of this world. It should be more easy to unleash my powers than before. Well, not only me, I believe the people who knows the Sacred Ritual or the "<<Incarnation>>" within their imagination to the fullest. Hehe, I do surprise myself sometimes, things just got more interesting." Quinella giggles. "Now things should be done smoothly with Vassago and Deku Black - Oh? Right, I forgot about Joe and Volt... Hm... oh well. I'm sure they'll figure something out eventually. Until then, I need to sleep. I'm sure Deku will be here until then." Quinella giggled as she cutely yawn and went to her bed... and then -
"......" A certain person who witnessed Quinella's System Ritual from the shadows. "Hm? Interesting. Now things are going to be good, I just have to wait until the time is right for me to make my move. It's going to taste really sweet like wine..."
[ With the scenery changes back with Deku... who's still in pain but managed to move - ]
[ Deku's POV ]
"Argh! Damn!" I managed to move as I got up from the ground. "Why did I just yelled at Yuuki like that?! Why did... I use my anger on Yuuki?!" I said as I remember what Yuuki said to me
[ Flashback ]
("I'm sorry! I just wanted to help you... because I love you. I know your suffering because of the mark and now you're family is gone... but you're not the only one in this world who had bad experience's in your life!!")
[ End Flashback ]
"Goddamnit! Argh!" I was getting frustrated... but as I looked up at the sky, I was surprised as the sky changed its color. "Woah! What happened to the sky?! It was just normal but now -
RUMBLING!!
"What the hell?!" I was caught by surprised as the ground began to shake. "An earthquake?!" I ran to the tree house as the earthquake began to rumble even more. "What's going on?!"
[ It took a whole minute for the earthquake to erupt, and it quickly ends... ]
"That earthquake was fierce! Argh!" The Curse Mark began to activate but... "Huh? The Mark... it's not hurting?!" I was surprised at how the Mark didn't burn me this time, as I stood up and I feel perfectly fine. "I feel perfectly fine now! Okay!" I ended up sprinting, so I can catch up to Yuuki.
[ As I sprinted away from the hideout, I was around the corner from the hospital and I almost forgot the police was looking for me - ]
"Oh crap! I forgot about the police! Damn! Wait?! Theirs was 5 police cars there, but now their two? They must've splitting up -"
"Deku~Kun!!!"
[ As I heard a voice calling out my name, I turned around and I saw Asuna - Dashing towards me along with Kirito. I instantly got angry just by looking at them -
[ So, as I looked away from them as they got closer to my direction - ]
*Pant, Pant*
"Deku~Kun... there you are." Asuna said
"Where were you?! We thought we lost you for good.." Kirito said as I mumbled something
"I really wish..."
"Say what?" Kirito said
"Nothing." I said to them
"Anyway, are you okay?" Asuna said as she got closer to me. "Is the Curse Mark hurting you?" Asuna said
"Sigh" I sighed as I didn't replied back to Asuna
"Deku~Kun?" Asuna said
"Do it look like it's hurting me?! I'm fine!" I said as I walked away from them and Asuna responded to me
"Why are you being so rude of a sudden?!" Asuna said
"...Look, I don't got time for this! You guys found me, now move on!" I said I sprinted away from them
"Hey! Deku! Get back here!" Kirito said as he and Asuna ran after me
[ With Kirito keep shouting at me, I ignore them and tried to make sure, there was no police around me... but I had a strange feeling that something bad was going to happen - ]
CURSE MARK ACTIVATE!
"Huh?!" I was surprised that the Curse Mark activate unharmed. "Wait... does that mean~?!"
GRABBED!
"All right, Deku! That's enough!" I was interrupted by Kirito, as he grabbed my hand. "What's wrong with you?! Why you acting like a jerk?!" Kirito said
"You better let me go of my hand, Kirito." I said as I glared at him. "I'm not in a mood to be talking to you or anyone else! I'm already not in a good mood!" Asuna had step in to stop them from arguing
"Guys! Don't fight -"
"Look Deku, we're trying to see what's going on with you -
HEAVY GRABBED!!
[ I overpowered Kirito as I grabbed his shirt and I lifted him up in the air. Kirito and Asuna was surprised at me as I was strong enough to lift up Kirito... even I was surprised as well as I'm too angry to even talk to them! Then I feel the Curse Mark activate... could it be the influence of the Curse Mark?!]
CURSE MARK ACTIVATE!
"D-Deku~Kun! Put Kirito~Kun down!" Asuna said
"Look here! I never even ask YOU! Or ANYONE ELSE for help!" I was furious as Kirito was holding my hand as I was strangling him a bit
"Gah... dude.. We're.. friends! I wanted to help you! We don't... want you to go through... it alone man!"Kirito couldn't handle Deku's strong grip
"So now you wanted to help me!? What good for you or anyone else to help me?!" Deku tightening his grip and Asuna spoke
"Deku~Kun! Please stop this! Why are you getting angry for?! Just talk to us!" Asuna said as I look at her
"Talk to you guys?! About WHAT?! I'm really tired of even looking at you two right now! And now you two wanted to help - Help MY ASS!!" I shouted at Asuna as she looked scared. "There's nothing that I want to -
[ As I looked at Asuna's direction, I saw 3 police cars passed by! ]
"Wait! There he is!"
"Damn!!" I instantly dropped Kirito and I sprinted away to escape the police
"Deku~Kun! Why're you-?! Wait?! The police?!
"Stop right there! You can't escape!"
"Why are the police are after Deku~Kun?!" Asuna helped Kirito... then they decided to chase after them but they were outrun by them
[ No one's POV ]
[ With Deku was too busy arguing with Kirito... the police spotted him as Deku sprinted away from the police... it didn't took him too long to outrun the police... luckily, he's able to escape... but not for too long - ]
"That was close... I managed to outrun them... I did end up on a dead-end but thanks for the system ritual.. I was able to escape." Deku was catching his breath from running until someone slowly approached him
"Well, well, well, look who it is."
"Huh?! Wait?! Is that... PoH?! From the Laughing Coffin!" Deku instantly remember Vassago
"Oh! You remember me, huh? I'm so flattered." Vassago cooly chuckled as he revealed his face. "Long time no see, Deku, The One-Handed Swordman." Vassago said as Deku sees his "Mate Chopper" was covered in blood.
"Why's your weapon is covered in blood?" Deku asked
"Oh this? Hmm? Let's say... I just a bunch of people killed people with this baby here!" PoH smirked
"What?! Who're the people you -"
"He killed the police who were chasing after you, Dekarusu." Deku looked around to see who else responded to him... then he look at the roof to see Black.
"Deku Black!" Deku said as he saw Black jumps off the roof and landed on the ground perfectly. "We meet again, Dekarusu." Black said
"Why're you two even here?! What you guys want from me?" Deku said as Vassago spoken
"Honestly, I'm here cuz I'm hungry to kill people... just like your "other persona" said." PoH said
"I'm here to check out on things... but since PoH finished it... well, half of it, since I did killed the other half myself." Black said
"So... you guys knew about the police was looking for me?!" Deku question
"Well, I figured it out just by following your other self." PoH chuckled as Black spoke
"Anyway... Deku. I saw the way you acted with Kirito and Asuna... I never thought you changed instantly after a couple days. You've got aggressive with your anger." Black said as PoH added
"Color me impressed." PoH said
"...So, what's your answer? Are you going to stay here, hiding with your little friends?! Or you can join us - Gain more power! Learn more about your sword! And help us reigned this world! You can forget all the pain you've endured in the past! In order for you to have it all - All you need to do is to join us!" Black said as PoH intervened
"Woah?! Hold up? You're bringing the One-Handed Swordsman with us?!" PoH said
"Stay out of this PoH. Now, what will it be -"
"System Call!!"
AERIAL ENERGY! DISCHARGED! BOOM!! ZOOM!
[ Deku used a System Ritual to escape from Black and PoH! ]
"Damn! That squirt escape from us." PoH said
"Hmph! Don't worry PoH... it won't be long until he accepts my offer for him." Black said
"Hmph. If you say so."
"Now, you should go back. I'm going to stay here for a bit longer." Black said as he walked away from PoH
"Hmm, what you think you can order me around -"
"Just did! I'm sure Quinella will be disappointed in your ass if you disobey her order." Black said
"Hmph! Such a smart-ass! Can't wait to kill you." PoH said as he walked away
[ Deku's POV ]
[ I quickly used a System Ritual to escape from Black and PoH... I ended up back to the house... luckily. I just... can't even... do this anymore! ]
"Damn! I don't know if I... can do this anymore! Too many things keep happening all at once!" Deku said as he was planning on going inside his house but..
"Hey Deku."
[ Deku heard a familiar voice... he turns around and sees Alice behind him - ]
"Alice..."
"What happened to you, Deku?" Alice look serious as Deku returned the same facial expression
