[Flashback]

[ With the scenery changes.. to an unknown area with Quinella.. looks like she's plotting something for no good~ ]

"So..? Looks like Deku and his friends are going to visit their injured friends? Hm? Deku Black~"
FINGER SNAP!

[ Deku Black approached in front of Quinella's presence.. ]

"Yes, my lady?" Deku Black said

"I got a special task for you, a very special one." Quinella said

"Yes, my lady, what's the task?"

"I want you to go to the hospital.. massacre a few innocent people.. and including Akira, Soma and Aoi. Before Deku and his friends get there before you. The time for our plan to commence; "Retrieve the Heaven Mark" is a go." Quinella said

"And by "Retrieve the Heaven Mark".. you mean~?"

"Yes, to retrieve Dekarusu Sumisu. With his family in the hospital.. he's already in a bad position.. and now.. when he see his family killed.. he'll be completely distressed and the evilness in his heart will grow even more.." Quinella said

"And it'll change his personality will change as well. It'll be a good chance he could go rogue." Deku Black said as she nod her head on agreeing with him

"Indeed and plus.. I want you to get his attention.. make him chase after you.. and test his results.. once he realizes that he's completely weak.. he'll seek out of more power that he lacks..

[ End Flashback ]

DOUBLE DASHED!

~"Hraaa!!" (Deku)
~"Hraaa!!" (Deku Black)

CLASHED!!

[ With Deku and Black sprinted each other.. throw a fist - Both of them cause the air to blow like a shockwave.. ]

"Hm. Impressive." Deku Black was impressed as they was clashing with each other

"(This feeling.. it's unbelievable! It's really dark and sinister! Coming from someone who looks exactly like me!)" Deku thought to himself

GRINDING!!!

"C'mon.. "Deku". Show me what you got." Deku Black said as they both were planning to head-butt each other

THUD!! THUD! THUDDED!! THUD!!

"Hyah~!"
POW!

"Argh! Hehehe.." Deku Black laughs evilly as Deku knees him in the gut. "Nice one~!"

SWING - DUNK! SWING SWING! POW POW! SWING SWING SWING SWING! SWING SWING - SWIFT SWIFT!

[ Deku Black deliver a flurry of punches against Deku.. who's blocking his every blow he throws at - ]

~"Hehehe - Hahaha-!"
~SWING SWING SWING -

~"(Damn! He's fast! I'm barely keeping up with his speed~!")
~BLOCKED - SWIFT SWIFT! DODGED -

THUDDED!!

"Gwah?!" Deku got hit in the gut really hard

POW!!!

[ As Deku received a critical blow.. Black kicked him far enough for him to used his next move - ]

"Eat this, Deku~!"
FORMING ENERGY~! SHOOTING!!!

"Oh crap~!"
BACKFLIP! LEAPS! SPRINTED!

"Hahahaha!" Deku Black laughs as he sees Deku running

SHOOTING!! MULTIPLE BOOMS!

"(Man! He's using the System Ritual without casting them! Does he have infinite power?!)" Deku thought to himself as he plan to counterattack

"System Call! Fire Element! Discharged!" Deku used an System Ritual to counterattack

SOARING! BOOM!!

"Hm.. a smokescreen? Clever -
REVEALED!
"But not clever enough!"
POW!!

"Hraa!!"

MULTIPLE SWINGS!!

[ Deku and Black were exchanging blows against each other.. but with Black.. his attacks are far more powerful than Deku's.. he's enjoying himself - ]

DOUBLE POW!!!

"Arg!"
"Arg.."

(A/N: 1:34 - 1:55 &  2:11 - 2:28 &  2:33 - 2:44 )

[ With both of them received a punch in the face.. both of them leaps back from each other.. but with Deku seems to be running out of stem..]

"Sighing"

"Hehe. What's up, Deku? You're stamina is running out already?!" Deku Black wipes out the bruise from his lip

"Sigh"
"..I still got some fight in me.." Deku said. "(Why I feel like.. I can't..~)"

"What are you trying to figure out?" Black said

"I could you ask the same." Deku said

"Hm! Just killing some time.. but it'll be a little hard.. knowing you won't be easy to take down." Black smirk

"Yeah.. right about that.. same thing with you." Deku was taking multiple breaths. "Who are you? You can't be ACTUAL me." Deku said as Black laughed

"Heheh.. hahahaha!"

"What's so funny?!"

"You don't get it - I AM you! We both have the same body, mind, soul - Everything!" Black made Deku shocked. "I know everything about you - Your feelings, your thoughts. I know what you're going to do, I predict your next move, just like we're fighting few minutes ago." Black said

"What?! T-that's impossible.." Deku said

"We've both have the same mark.. I can see and hear everything - I am you and you are me." Black said

"Rgh." Deku said

"And plus.. I'm pretty sure know about me - I get stronger every time I fight, feeling the pain makes me stronger." Black said

".." Deku was speechless

"And plus.. you're not going to last much longer anyway.. you're suffering from the mark.. why don't you used it. You already witnessed that power." Black said

"I don't need it. I don't need that mark.. I can't even do anything with this stuck on my neck!" Deku declined to use the power of the Curse Mark

"So what?! It doesn't even matter. You've been granted with unknown power! You don't understand it now.. but sooner or later.. you'll enjoy it." Black smirked

"To hell with it! I'll never enjoy it! Because of that witch Quinella.. I.. killed someone.. and I.. really regret it.. even though I don't like that person.. but I did it anyway.. because~"

"Because you wanna kill her."

"..Yeah.. I wanted to kill her for this mark." Deku said

"Hmph! I don't think it'll happen~"
DASHED~! THUD!!

[ Black dashed towards Deku ]

"You can't fight it! The mark is changing you! I'm telling you now." Black said

"Grr! Shut up~!"
SWING SWING - POW! SWING - POW!! SWING SWING SWING - DODGED SWIFT SWIFT! SWING - THUD!!!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

(A/N: 0:00 - 0:05)

"Aaahhhh!!" Deku got hit on his right rib as he could barely stand

"You see? You're body is failing you. You're no match for me or anyone else." Black said

"Shut up!!!"
SWING - POW! THUD!

[ Black smacked Deku in the face, as he fell on the ground.. ]

"You're weak. You don't have what it takes. Even if you train, it won't do you any good. You don't have enough hate." Black said as Deku was spitting up blood

"Agh.." Deku was catching his breath again

"And especially.. if you think you're on the same level as your friend; Kirito." Deku's eyes widened

"What?!" Deku said

"Hm.. you realize that you are trying to improve yourself.. but instead you're actually standing still while your friends on the other hand is getting better everyday. And your top priority is to think this - "I wonder if me and Kirito face each other again.. who'll win?" Is that right? You'd think of him like your best friend just because you two know about VR Gaming and everything else.. but on the other hand.. you think of him as your rival." Black said

"Yeah.. so what?! I've known him since the SAO Incident -"

"And you thought if he could join you and group, he'll feel welcome and you guys can become stronger together, right? But instead he'd turned you down and decided to go off on his own. That shows he doesn't care about you or anyone else.. he just focus on himself. He didn't even see you as a friend or anything else.. you know that." Black said

"Yeah.. at first he was but..."

"But he still didn't wanted to join you.. he used us as an "Acquaintance". Even now he still do. And yet, you think he still call us friends but he don't really mean that and plus.. he's growing stronger than you." Black said

".."

"Ever since Day 1.. it's true that you two were equals but not anymore.. with you - Weak! Don't have what it takes to be in the big leagues! You don't have the mind and desire! That's why your family is gone! They don't deserve to live because of you lacking -"

"!!!" Deku's eyes widened with anger.

"C'mon! Y'know I'm right, you even saw their deaths - Twice! So what's the point of you getting stronger.. if you can't even protect your family.. now you're all alone - ?!"

[ Deku Black feels Deku's anger growing.. after he heard those terrible words - He grabbed his sword.. ]

UNSHEATHED!
"Black - You've made a BIG MISTAKE of saying that.. and now - I'M SENDING YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL!!!"

[ Deku's eyes turned Red.. with his anger -
The Curse Mark suddenly activate.. with Black suddenly smirk.. he pulled out his Dragon Blade; Ryūjin! ]

"Hehehe! Struck a nerve-?"

CLASHED!!!

[ Deku suddenly clashed at Black faster than the blick of an eye! ]

CLASHING!!!!

"Grr!! I promise you! You'll ever regret saying that! I'll erase you!!" Deku said

CLASH! CLASH CLASH CLASH CLASHED!!! THUDDED!!

[ With Alice and the others.. interrogating Joe and Volt.. with the poison still taking spreading through their bodies.. they're completely useless.. and now~ ]

"Now then.. we finally got you two in our grasp. You two are going to tell us everything that we need to know." Bercouli said

"......"
"......"

"Hm. If you two don't answer us.. we have to use "other" things to make you two talk." Bercouli said

"Hmm! Go right ahead! You stupid assholes ain't getting shit from us!" Joe said

"Okay.. Alice."

"On it~!"
UNSHEATHED!!

[ Alice unsheathed her sword ]

"You think that's going to scare us?! You gotta do a WHOLE lot better than that, good stuff!" Joe smirk as he wasn't even scared

"...." Alice was waiting for Bercouli's signal as she nodded at him

"If I were you two, I wouldn't be really confident right now.. this little lady has what it takes with her sword." Bercouli said

"Pfft! My ass!" Volt scoffed at them

"Alice~"

SLASHED!! SLASHED!!

~"Argh!!"
~"Geah!!"

[ Joe and Volt scream of pain as Alice slashed their each of their chests.. ]

"That's was the perfect example why." Bercouli said

"Damn!! What the hell!" Joe said

"Now. Here's our questions - Who's this Administrator named "Quinella"? Why she gave Dekarusu the Curse Mark?" Bercouli asked

"......"
"......"

"I see.. Alice.."

"Yes."

GRIPPING - DOUBLE SLASHED! DOUBLE SLASHED!

"Argh!!!"

[ Alice slashed Joe's chest twice and slash Volt's shoulders.. both of them was bleeding out badly.. ]

"Goddamnit!!" Volt scream

"Screw your bitch!!" Joe added

"Answer our question! I really need to know so I can keep my friend safe!!" Alice shouted at them, then Bercouli touched her shoulder

"Alice! Calm down! We'll get the information we need to help out Dekarusu." Bercouli said as Joe laughed

"Hahahaha - I really don't know why you stupid assholes think it's that easy - That dude is gone! There's no way to get rid of this mark!!" Alice and Bercouli looks surprised

"What you mean by that?!" Bercouli said

"Ain't no way to get rid of it! Nothing you can do! That punk's screwed -
SMACKED!!!
"Ahh!" Alice smacked Volt hard enough for his blood splattered and Alice barked at him with rage

"Stop playing with us! If you don't tell me the truth - I'll end you two right here and this place will be your grave!" Alice barked

"Coughing" Volt coughs up blood

"Easy there Alice. I understand you want to save your friend but don't let them get to you." Bercouli convinced Alice to calm down

"Yes sir.. you're right." Alice takes a breath.. then Joe spoke

"I don't see why you punks even care about that fool! The mark is eating his personality.. it's been a while since he got it? Am I right?" Joe said

"..Yes, that's right." Alice said

"He'll be gone forever! That dude who was a good attitude will be gone, he'll act like us - Hungry for power! Wanting to kill! And he'll never care about anyone but himself! I'm telling you! There's! Absolutely! NOTHING! No sealing, no nothin!" Joe said

"Are you telling us the truth?" Bercouli calmly ask

"Hell yeah! He'll go rogue for sure! Just like us! And it feels HELLA GOOD! The best feeling in a LONG TIME for us! He'll feel the same way!" Volt said as Joe added on

"But.. there's another way - If you're willing to hear it.." Joe smirked evilly, then Alice noticed it

"Why you smirking like that? I swear I'll end you if you keep telling us your lies!" Alice gripping her sword tight

"Ohoho! Blonde - I'm hella serious!"

"Tell us." Bercouli said

"Hehehe - The only way to get rid of them Mark - Is to kill him!"

[ As Joe said the only way to get rid of the mark is to kill Dekarusu.. Alice was completely shocked when she heard those words.. ]

"What..? Y-You can't be serious~?!"

"I put that on my life.. that's the only way.. and plus.. we doing you guys a favor! With or without the Mark.. we was planning to kill him anyway.. you guys should be thanking us -
WHACK!!!

[ Alice knocked out Joe faster than he can reacted.. he's completely unconscious.. thanks to Alice's anger.. ]

"Hehe.. it's the only way.. so you might as well -"
WHACK!!!

[ Alice knocked out Volt as well.. as Bercouli sighed ]

"Well.. that's one way of interrogating these two.." Bercouli said as Alice can't control her anger. "Alice?"

"It can't be true.. there's no way we can do that!" Alice said with the anger in her voice

"Take a breath.. I know you really care about him.. but we'll figure out a way to prevent him from going rogue and not killing him." Bercouli comfort Alice, as her anger begins to go away.

"Thank you Uncle.. I feel better now.." Alice was relieved

"No problem.. little lady. Don't worry.. we'll figure it out later.. but for now.. we have to figure this out - The school's a wreck once again.." Bercouli said

"Yes.. but what about everything else? Like our class-works, tests, our next semester?" Alice asked

"Sigh"
"Well.. I guess every student in this school has to stay at home.. we have to make sure every student is safe from harm.. can't take the risk." Bercouli said

"Hm? That is a good point." Alice agree with his point

"And plus.. we have more powerful fighters on our side.. so we should good for the time being." Bercouli said. "And now we got these two.. we'll be able to good information about the Administrator and everything else we need to know." Bercouli said

"Yes sir.." Alice said

"And Alice, just leave this to us.. I'll send Eydis and Medina with you.. just to be on the safe side." Bercouli said

"Yes sir." Alice said

[ Back with Deku facing with Black.. ]

"Heavily Sigh"

"Look at you.. you're a mess.." Deku Black said as Deku was on his knees.. bleeding..

"Sigh 3x"

"I admit.. I know you wasn't trying to use the mark as it activate it's own.. when you get angry. And you put up a good fight.. I really enjoy it." Deku Black walked up to Deku. "Deku.. just tell me something - Why? Why do you wanted to go so far? Why becoming better and stronger?" Deku Black ask a question as he looks down at Deku

".. I.. wanted to get stronger.. to keep the ones I cared about safe.." Deku said

"..Like Larry Akira, Kyree Soma and Steve Aoi.. and you're other friends in SAO?" Deku Black said

"Yes.."

"Hm? What about that girl - Yuuna? That's the girl who you suddenly like? Was she.. your second best friend after Yuri Akuma?" Deku Black said

"Yeah.. I tried my best but -"

"But she decided to end her own life.." Deku Black said as Deku knew he was right. "Figures.. but the point I'm trying to get across is this - Why you care for Kirito.. and Asuna? During that time in SAO? You didn't even care about them at first, all you did is surviving for your own sake." Black said

"...." Deku was silent

"Hm? I really don't get it? Why you risk your neck for them?"

"..Because.. sometimes.. it's good to help others if needed.. that's why." Deku said

"May be true.. but you suddenly regret it.. by the time you were together with them, is that right?" Black said as Deku's eyes widened. "That day.. when you spend time with them.. you felt a little happy.. by seeing your "friend" Kirito again.. and you were surprised by Asuna's nice personality? You were happy you get to spend time with them.. then suddenly you regret it.. as you suddenly grew feelings for Asuna -"

"Shut up!" Deku said

"Why should I?! As the moment Asuna smiled at you and being kind.. you fell in love with her, didn't you - And you know she like Kirito more because of his heroic actions." Deku Black

"I said - SHUT UP!!! -

DASHED! CLASH CLASH CLASH - SWIFT! CLASHED CLASHING - CLINC - SLASHED -

"ARGH!!" Deku got his left shoulder slashed

"I'm saying the truth - You knew the whole time it was just the two of them! But you decided to stay and help them instead.. up until that time when you and Kirito join "The Knights of the Blood Oath" Guild - and that moment when Kirito killed Kuradeel.. Asuna embraced Kirito and wasn't worried about you.. but your family came to your aid luckily.. but it wasn't enough for you. As you saw that moment.. it tears you up inside! When those two kissed.. it made your heart shattered into a million pieces - Even though you admitted that they were a good couple but it still crushed you!" Black said as Deku gritted his teeth

"!!" Deku was getting angry

"Then the moment you thought you could leave without saying a single word.. Asuna suddenly approached you and you feel even more sad.. when she said those kind and cruel words to you - "

[ Flashback: In SAO ]

"Hey.. Deku~Kun.. you're leaving..?" Asuna said as she caught up with Deku

"Sigh"
"Um.. y-yeah.. I-I'm.. going back to my family now.." Deku said as he couldn't turn to see Asuna as his family noticed the sadness in his voice. "I.. "Sighed" I had fun with you guys.. but.. I believe you two are going to be fine without me.." Deku said

"Well.. okay.. I understand." Asuna said

"Yeah -"

"But I'm glad you were here with us from the start.. it was fun and I really enjoy you.. like a real brother." As Deku heard those words.. his tears instantly flowing down to his cheeks..then Akin and Sokai spoken out

"Hey~"
"Hey~"

[ Aero stopped them from speaking.. trying not to make it worser than it already is.. ]

"I -
WIPING TEARS SECRETLY
"I enjoy you too.. you also like a sister me and Kirito too.. and  I was just.. making sure things.. were going good.. that's all." Deku said as he smiled and can't control his tears. "Well.. bye.." Deku said

"Bye and stay alive." Asuna embraced behind him then she let him go. "If you need anything, just let us know.. okay." Asuna said as Deku gave a thumbs up

[ End Flashback ]

"Those kind words.. coming from the girl who rejected you - Who hurt you even more! And what's more important - How'd you lied to her about you enjoyed her and seeing her as a sister to you. You never even see her as a friend either.. but I don't blame you." Black said as Deku was completely crushed.. as Black was telling the truth..

"Deku - Remember in SAO - you and the others planning to joined a guild? At first.. things were going good until you guys got ambushed.. and luckily only you and your family survived.. and you guys made so many good people.. it really hurt you.. and as you said - "I don't ever wanted to see that again! My trusted friends dying.. right in front of me! I don't ever wanted to see that again! From now on.. I'll do whatever it takes to get stronger and keep my friends and family safe! No matter what!" - Thoser were your words. Now look.. the friends you've made in SAO.. the one special person.. Yuuna Shigemura.. and now - Larry Akira. Kyree Soma. Steve Aoi are gone. Now try to say those words again." Black said

"........" Deku was speechless as he remembered his past.. with Yuuna.. Akira and Soma and Aoi.. remembering their deaths.. one by one..

"I said try to say those words again!!" Black shouted as Deku was completely speechless.. "This will just keep happening. All of your flippant words and ideals will become lies - This is the end result of ideals and hope. This is reality. Deku, what is there here for you in this reality. Your father and mother abandoned you and later died from a crash.. your grandma passed away from an terrible illness.. and the more you keep it up.. you'll lose your "other" friends you made one by one.. even your girlfriend; Yuuki Konno. This shall become a world where no one acknowledges you, loves your kindness, glad to even talks to you - even exists."

"......"

"The only thing that awaits you is - Your worse nightmare.. which you know very well as you saw it yourself - Solitude!"

[ As Deku Black expose Dekarusu's true feelings.. and was able to break him completely.. Dekarusu's spirit was shattered.. as he was completely speechless.. and now - ]

"So why keep living in reality with these people, huh? Now - Come join me, Dekarusu Sumisu." As Deku Black was offering for Dekarusu to join his side.. Deku slowly looks up and then -

THUD~!

"?!" Black noticed something as he grabbed his Dragon Blade

CLASHED!!

[ In a blink of an eye.. someone attacked Deku Black.. and it was - ]

CLASHING!!!

"So it is true - You do look EXACTLY like him - Deku Black!" The guy who save Dekarusu was Kirito

"K..Kirito.." Deku looked up to see Kirito in front of him

- To be continued -
