Cloaked In Red

So you are finally here?

I turned and looked at the direction the voice was coming from, and for what I saw, it was a tall man with a black cloak that seems to be ripped but in a stylish way. We have been staring at each other for over a minute, and none of us made a sound, until I decided to break the ice.

“So, mind telling me who you are, and what is this place?” I said looking straight at the man. “Well, for who I am, you’re going to have to find out, and this place is your mind scape, completely different to a dream, let’s just say we are in your mind.”

“Well, anyway, my name is Dante, and that coat of yours looks almost as cool as mine” I said with a toothy grin. But, he simply smiled.

“Today, you will fight someone, not me of course, but someone else” he said looking in another direction, I turned and looked to see what he was looking at, but in a dark corner where my minds light couldn’t penetrate, stood another person, in the darkness there were glowing red chains strapped and buckled around the figure, then I noticed it was looking straight at me, dark black eyes, with yellow for the iris. It had a shit eating grin, and it made me want to go over there and punch it straight in the teeth.

“What are you looking at, ugly” I said mockingly the man simply grinned even brighter and tried to break free from the chains, “See that, that is your Hollow, or should I say evil side” he said. Then he dropped a sword right in front of me, that looked exactly the same as the one I used to deflect the red energy beam.

“You have two options, option 1 you go over there and strike down your Hollow, option 2 you free your Hollow, I’d advise option one if you don’t want to be killed” he said with no emotion, not even a change in facial structure.

I looked at him and grinned, I picked up the sword and turned towards this Hollow, and walked straight towards it, it soon got angry, and opened it’s mouth and started screaming “I swear to the gods if you touch me with that sword you will soon regret it!”.

I simply smiled and sliced the chains it was held by, the guy in the cloak and even the Hollow was shocked, but what can I do? I love to do what the fuck I want. “Why did you do that?” the Hollow asked, “Because I felt like it, and I can do what I want, I don’t give a fuck” I said proudly while the other guy face palmed, the Hollow fell to the floor laughing “Hahahahahaha I can not believe you, this is a first, can not believe someone like you has done that, out of all the people I have met no one has ever done that” the Hollow giggled”.

“Good, because now I’m the first to do it, also, let’s fight because that guy says so and I wanna test my strength since you look strong” I said excitingly.

“Ok then, let’s see how long you last” The Hollow returned my grin and ran at full speed, surprising me, he was a little faster than me in my base form, he appeared the same sword in his hand but swapped colours. I held out my sword, knowing where the strike would be, but right before the blade hit me, the Hollow dissipated for a second and my eyes couldn’t follow, and I got slashed on the back by the thick blade, while the Hollow was laughing manically.

“Huh, so I guess you are strong then, that’s good” I said laughing, he came in for another strike then dissipated again, but the same trick can’t work a second time, so I blocked it and spun around and spin kicked the Hollow straight in the teeth sending it into the tall skyscrapers.

“Come on, is that all you got, show me some more” I said with pure boredom, all I could hear now was a scream and black and red filled the sky scraper with raw power. The Hollow had appeared just a few metres away from me, but with a new look; he had a white cloak on with black stripes down the seams, then instead of a large blade it was smaller like a Wakasashi, it’s blade was pure white, and he stared at me again with a huge shit eating grin on his face.

He, disappeared again, but this time I couldn’t track him or his energy, but what felt like a punch at my back I simply felt dizzy, and looked down to my stomach that had a gaping hole through the top of my chest, with a white blade sticking at out of it, before the blade retracted I fell to my knees feeling weak all of a sudden. Then, everything went black, but I could still hear with my enhanced hearing.

“Well, that is a shame, thought you had enough fight left in you, this sucks, I wanted a strong fighter, not someone weak as you are” the Hollow said while walking off.

But I had one trick up my sleeve, I had to use my demonic powers. Raising my killing intent, sent a massive shock wave of spiritual pressure, almost knocking the Hollow to his knees, “What is this, what is happening!?” The Hollow said in a scared tone.

I simply stood up, and looked at my hands, my whole body was glitching in and out of my Devil Trigger, my anger was rising and I could not stop the thirst for blood from my inner demons. I turned around and transformed into my Devil Trigger sending my Hollow to it’s knees while the guy in the cloak was nearly slouching from my power, he also had a shocked and confused face.

“Now it’s my turn, take this you stupid cunt” I said I used my Quick Silver ability and slashed the Hollow to the point of where if it where a normal human being, it would’ve exploded into chunks of raw meat. but the Hollow had lot’s of slashes around it’s body, and from the pressure the Hollow simply passed out of exhaustion.

I canceled my Devil Trigger, and lowered my killing intent, “Look’s like you have won and made your Hollow submit, even though he is unconscious, which is a rare sight to see.” He said grinning.

“I’ll talk to you at a later time, and then you will know my name. See you around” the man said, while my whole mind went blank, and my sight went black.
