Chunibyo's Fanfic

Vali and Hope were facing off each other on the second floored underground bas.e.m.e.nt of Hope's mansion, while the others from Vali team were tiredly looking at them from the sidelines of the training ground.

...

"As promised, I'll show you the ropes of Martial arts technique, later you can practice it yourself with the help of Bikou or Arthur." Hope was talking to Vali who was obediently standing infront of him, clearly listening to everything Hope said.

"If I just wanted the ropes, I could have already learnt that from Bikou, or his ancestor, Sun Wukong." Vali refuted, not agreeing to just let Hope off with an basic Martial art skill, "Teach me something good, with which I can defeat you easily." demanded Vali in an annoyed but childish way.

[quatz- now that's an impossible wish, Kid. Know your limits.

Hope- let him off, quatz, he's just being impulsive here, in actual he really wants to become strong to achieve his motives.

quatz- as if I care about his Motives and other shit..

Hope- sigh.. you're so disrespectful, quatz.

quatz- why should I respect someone weaker than me? are you an Idiot?? oh.. sorry, my bad~.. you actually are one in real!

Hope- ....]

Hope looked at Vali with serious determination present in his eyes, to which Vali got an bit serious and his all senses were focused on Hope.

"Vali, if that's the case, then I recommend that you learn Martial arts from the real deal." stated Hope, "If I was in your position I would've done the same."

Vali was dejected when he heard Hope refusing to his request, but before he could say something, Hope spoke up first.

"So, instead of teaching you something, I'll tell you an secret about your powers, which even Albion has not realized yet." Stated Hope in an smug manner.

Vali, together with Albion, both were surprised hearing to this, "What do you mean, by any chance are you referring to my Longinus gear, Albion?" Vali unhesitatingly asked the first thing which crossed through his mind.

"Yes." replied Hope with an nod.

Albion- you're telling me that I don't know about my own powers, now that's interesting, kid.

"Right?" Hope stated in an cheerful manner, "Infact, I also found about it just recently."

"The thing is, your dividing gear can be taken to an ultimate next level, stronger than the original Albion after mastering it completely." Hope started the explanation, "it's just my intuition, but I guess, because Albion was sealed in his early stages of primal age, he was not able to achieve that form, or else I bet, he could've easily rivaled Great Red in an serious fight by now." Hope gave an vague idea of the power level to them, by comparing it with Red.

Vali saw hope infront of his eyes, at first he was really aiming to defeat Great Red after achieving his personal motives and later take his place as number one in the world, and now that path was near to getting unlocked infront of him.

Albion- I guess my rivalry with the red one halted my progress to reach that stage.. sigh.. although can I really achieve it now, even when I'm sealed inside this gear?

Albion aimed his question at Hope.

"I copied the same powers of you with an contract and now I was able to achieve it, so why can't you? but to be honest, I can't guarantee it hundred percent, I just wanted to inform this to you and also at the same time, give you some goals for future." replied Hope.

Vali had an troubled expression on his face as he thought that he misheard Hope just now, "Did you by any chance say 'you've already reached that stage'?" Vali reluctantly asked Hope.

Though, Hope was not fazed by any of this, "Didn't I say? I've reached that stage and I also think that it's not the end, I can still develop it further." nonchalantly replied Hope.

Albion- I may be rude, but can you show me that form? I just can't believe all this if I don't see it myself.

"Oh sure." replied Hope, ⟨Dragon Soul Take Over form: 'Eclipse Vanishing Dragon'⟩ Hope called out in his mind as he utilized the skill.

The whole training ground shined in brilliance with the source of that light being Hope. Everyone in the room got alerted and took an serious defensive stance to the direction of light since thier instincts were screaming at them to do so.

The light got dimmer and dimmer and what left behind was, an humanoid figure, clad in metallic gray draconic armour from head to bottom. The figure had two pairs of massive transparent mirrored wings on his back, one pair being light Blue and the other being Black. the cladded figure had a long blade like sharp horn on his head, bent backwards over his head, reaching his upper back (C.h.e.s.t level).

Hope retracted his wings and approached Vali with steady but firm steps.

Vali, though unconsciously, he was stepping back as Hope walked towards him.

Albion- 'I can't even measure his Majestic Aura, let alone the amount of power he might have.'

Albion was shocked beyond comparison, to ever in his life he had been.

"Hey, why are you walking away from me?" asked Hope as he was not sure for why Vali was behaving like this, "Did I do something to offend you?" he asked.

Vali couragejd himself to reply the figure infront of him, "Y-You're really Hope, right?" he asked with an nervous face, full of sweat.

"Idiot, I am Hope, why are you doubting it after all this time?" Hope hopelessly reprimanded Vali for being dumb enough to not recognize him.

Hope looked at the other guys in the room and notice how they were behaving, "Calm down guys, it's just me, Hope." he said in an reassured manner while looking at them.

"Huh?" Kuroka deactivated her Senjutsu mode when she heard the clad figure speak, his voice surely matched Hope's, "Why did all of an sudden you take that form?" she asked.

"First of all, what is that form?" Arthur asked, more in detail to Kuroka's question.

The lift stopped at the training ground and Rossweisse together with Ultear, came out of it, rushing towards them.

Rossweisse looked at the Vali team with an enraged frown on her face, "What tricks are you guys trying to pull out now, Huh?!" she felt the sudden burst of energy coming out of this place and without an second thought she rushed here to check things out herself.

Ultear saw Hope and walked towards him, "That's something new." she commented as she inspected Hope with her eyes rolling all over his armour cladded body.

[Hope- Ah.. I love Ultear! she recognized me just with an glance! while these Idiots didn't even know that even when I transformed infront of them..

quatz- she just knows you truly well.. nothing much special to exaggerate on it like this.

Hope- quatz, you're such an let down sometimes..

quatz- hmph~]

Albion- is this the form you were talking about?

Albion directed his question at Hope.

"Oh, Yes, I call it the ⟨Eclipse Vanishing Dragon⟩ form." replied Hope as he almost forgot that he was gonna explain this to Albion and Vali, since it was originally the product of their power.

Vali released an long sigh after hearing Hope, "I somehow feel utterly defeated.." he didn't know what to say, it was his own power and now Hope surpassed him even in that.

"Ah.. don't be dejected now. knowing you, I'm sure you'll be able to reach this stage very soon." Hope tried to cheer up Vali, "I have an suggestion, why don't we spar? you in your juggernaut drive and me in this same form?"

Vali knew he would be defeated even without giving a good fight to Hope, but even then, his blood was boiling from all the excitement of going all out once again and specially this time, when he's going against his own superior form.

"Alright, Bring it on!" Vali gave the Battle cry with his fists clenched tightly in excitement, "But before that, just for my advantage, can you tell me your abilities? I'm pretty sure they must be a bit similar to mine, but even so, I want to know." even if there was an little chance, Vali wanted to win against Hope.

Hope nodded and started explaining some of his abilities to Vali. "Unlike your ‹Divide›, mine is the upgraded version of it, called ⟨Extraction⟩, by using it I can steal your powers permanently."

Vali's eyes widened as he was not sure if heard Hope properly, "You're joking, right?" he asked with an deadpan expression on his face.

Kuroka and others were getting bored while standing idly on their place, so they decided to see what was going on and for why did Hope transformed suddenly in that battle armour.

"Hey, what are you guys doing~?" asked Kuroka in an mischievous way, she was not intimidated of the wild Aura now as she knew who it was.

Arthur observed Hope and noticed something, "Isn't your Armour somewhat similar to Vali's Juggernaut drive? though it looks like an humanoid version of it rather than the hulky one." commented Arthur with his words directed at Hope.

"Of course it'll be similar, cause it's the Vanishing Dragon form, same as Vali." Hope looked at Arthur as he confirmed his intuition.

"Vali?! you gave Albion to hope?! that's cheating bro! you could've given it to me!" Bikou as usual was bad at grasping the situations, and said some weird things.

Ultear curiously touched Hope's body, although the surface of his armour, "I sense Eclipse energy from you." she commented to herself and then looked at Hope to ask why it was present here.

During the Celestial realm's issue Ultear was not present in the Celestial World as she had went with Yukino to search methods in the library to deal with the problem of Spirit King, hence she knew nothing of the incidents which took place in there.

{Hope- Yes, you're right Ultear, this is the Eclipse energy which had caused Spirit King to go in a rampant state.

Ultear- So why is it with you?! are you able to maintain all this energy by yourself?

Ultear was worried if something will happen to Hope, due to him taking the toll of all the Energy on his body.

Hope- Worry not Ultear, I'm able to control the energy pretty well now, or you can also say that it's now a part of me.

Ultear- sigh.. is that so? then fine. but you better not be anymore reckless in future, or there'll be no one more worse than me in future to you!

She reprimanded Hope for being too laid back in dealing with such things, he should understand that he's not all alone and could rely on her or Red, anytime he wants.

Hope- Hai... hai.. my Donna, I am sorry for being reckless, but I had no other way that time to deal with it.

Ultear- I understand, I'll forgive you this once.

Hope- Good, and thank you.

Ultear- you're welcome.}

Since Ultear and Hope were conversing via telepathy, Hope was not totally out of his consciousness this time as the same when he talked with quatz in his mind, so he saw other people gossiping something amongst themselves.

Albion- Vali, I want to take him on, show him who's the original Vanishing Dragon.

"Sure, I think the same." replied Vali.

Listening to this, Everyone made enough space in the training ground for them to fight. Taking precaution, Rossweisse set up the best barrier she could make, around them.

'What's taking others so long to come back, from what I know, they had some urgent call from their Devil work to deal with an situation, by now they must've dealt with it, did something happen to them?' Thought Rossweisse as she was worried for the Rias Peerage, even though she was now the Bishop of Rias's Peerage she wasn't with them. the reason was, she was sent here by Rias to look after Vali's team and contact them if something goes wrong, since they're all the well known terrorists of Khaos brigade, but even if that's the fact, Rias can't immediately deal with them without them making an move as they're at the same time also Hope's friends.

Albion and Vali, right off the bat started chanting the inscription of their Juggernaut drive together without any hesitation.

Albion- [Vanishing Dragon, Juggernaut drive!]

Vali's whole figure lightened up and his body was engulfed in the humongous clad White armour of his Juggernaut drive. A pair of large light blue transparent wings was present on his back, foreshadowing his whole figure.

Infront of Vali's huge Juggernaut drive form, Hope's Vanishing Dragon form looked like that of an small child, but the latter radiated mass amount of dense Aura compared to the other.

With resounding steady steps, Vali walked closer to Hope's figure, "You ready?" he said in an mocking way.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking that?" Hope fought back in the same way.

Suddenly, Vali vanished from his place and next he was seen trying to body lift Hope by his waist to smash him on the ground, at the same time Albion had also started his work as Vali was in contact with his opponent.

Albion- [Divide!] [Divide!] [Divide!] [Divide!] [Divide!] [Divide!]

As the mechanical sounds of [Divide] kept sounding from Vali's dividing gear, Hope felt a bit powerless with every chant of it.

And somehow after gaining enough strength from his opponent, Vali was able to lift Hope's body and smash him on the ground. The impact from the hit dealt a bang on the surface with spider web like cracks present on the ground.

All this time, Hope could've easily fought back Vali multiple times in innumerable ways, but due to his promise of teaching Vali about his own powers, he was letting Vali take off the steam. In actual Hope wanted to see the current maximum limit of Vali's capabilities, unless he knew that he won't know how the things Vali was lacking in.

After the smash, Vali didn't stop there, he lifted Hope's body by one of his legs and smashed him on the other side of the training ground, but just with that Vali had already started huffing heavy breaths.

"What is it Vali, don't tell me you're already tired with two moves in your Juggernaut drive." Hope mocked Vali when he saw his current situation.

Vali gritted his teeth behind the armour and launched a few longinus Smasher at Hope, "You don't have the right to mock me, I'm trying my best!" roared Vali.

From all the smoke after the blasts hit their target, a figure came walking out, "So this is your best? I don't even see a scratch on me."

Albion- Calm down Vali, he's just trying to provoke you into going berserk!

'huff.. I know.. huff.. I am already exhausted, but I don't want to give up just yet..' Vali talked with Albion in his mind, 'The difference between us after the last fight is vast, I can't even measure it.. just how can I defeat him? tell me..., Albion..'

Albion was in trouble as he didn't know how to tell Vali the truth, at the moment there was no way that they can defeat the monster infront of them, but he Still didn't wanted to discourage him and break his confidence to fight stronger opponents in future. One wrong word of Albion could've broken Vali's fighting spirit at the moment.

Suddenly, Vali heard some whispers in his head, 'Just do it.. you're the possessor of Supremacy!'

'Don't bow your head infront of an human, just give in and defeat the person infront of you at any cost..'

'He is the hindrance of your way, take him out at all cost, the power of your Supremacy can do this..'

They all were the whispers from the past possessors of dividing gear, who had lost their life in some other way after getting drunken in this power.

Albion- Vali, no, you're not going to do this, it's just an spar, don't give in to that worthless reason!

Albion tried hard to avoid Vali getting influenced to those comments from the consciousness of past possessors.

Hope looked at the still figure of Vali which was not moving a single bit, "Knowing you Vali, I trust that you'll rule over your own power someday and surpass this form." commented Hope.

"huh?" Vali's eyes gain back life when he heard the words coming out of Hope's mouth, he looked around and saw that he was present in the training ground of Hope's mansion, at the same time he also saw the damage he had dealt to the surrounding, the impact was so much that it seemed the ground was just about to fall off.

"By the way, my estimated weight when you lifted me was about '20 tons'." remarked Hope, "So isn't that pretty good achievement for now? Coincidentally, I've also found out the way for you to train your powers." Hope deactivated the Take Over form and came back to his normal self, he knew Vali can no longer continue this spar.

Vali took a deep breath and came out of his Juggernaut drive as well, as he did, he fell on his knees from all the exhaustion of using the J.D over it's limit.

After taking some few more breaths he walked towards Hope with an calm look on his face, "so, what did you mean by train my powers?" he asked the question to Hope.

Hope shook his hand in a leisure way, "Let's talk about it later, for now, I want to eat something." stated Hope.

Ultear looked at her darling with an pretty smile, "The snacks and tea are ready in the living room, you guys go there, I'll be following up in sometime." she said.

Agreeing to Ultear, everyone left for the living room by the lift.

Sighing a deep breath, Ultear now all alone in the training ground, looked at the damage caused by the little spar between Hope and his guest. then next she used her Arc of time magic to restore everything in the training ground to how it previously was.

Just in a few seconds, the training ground was reverted back to its undamaged state, clean and clear, "all looks good now." for doing all this Ultear didn't even break a single sweat. for her, it was same as making an cup of tea for her darling with an cheerful smile on her face.

Humming her way she approached the lift on the floor and went back to the living room, where everyone had gone to.
