Chapter 89: Saved
" Who is that? " Duncan asks himself as he sees the guy coming in after defeating that giant man.
As he sees it, The guy who entered the room (Donovan, obviously, still using his mask) decided to create a Smoke all of a sudden, covering him and the Harbinger of Wreckoning, Doom up for a while.
As he did that, unknowingly after the smoke was clear, Doom disappeared, and his body disappeared into nowhere.
"( He disappeared? )" Duncan asks as he was so surprised that a giant guy like Doom just vanished like that, in minutes.
"( <Black Smoke>, my second ability... )" Donovan says to himself.
"( I got the jig after the <Vague Memory Voices> in my mind, spout another nonsense words. )"
"( [Smoke, Ashes, Reborn...] )"
"( I think those are the words before my mind suddenly shows another memory and my body and the System immediately respond after it happened, giving me a great miracle/Plot-Armor during my fight with Doom, earlier. )"
"( Guess, I have to use the <Black Smoke> in this fight, huh? )" Donovan says as he then approaches his father at full speed.
" Kuhh...!!!! " Duncan was shocked as he sees the masked Donovan right before him.
" You're okay, sir? " Donovan asks as he gives him a <Great HP Potion> that could heal Duncan in full.
"( Incredible, my body!? )" Duncan was rejuvenated after drinking it.
"( What is this potion, just wha...!? )" Duncan wants to see his savior but the guy already went to Agniz as he then gave her the <Great Regen Potion> he had, using it to heal her wounds, including the fatal ones.
"( My... my waist...!? )" Agniz was shocked as her left-holed waist was immediately recovered.
"( Returns...!? )"
" It's a 'Regeneration Potion', Current Grandmaster of the Warblade Guild. "
" I've founded in one of my Raids, I still have some of them. " Masked Donovan says.
"( Yeah, around three or two, oh wai...*checking again*, I only had two left. )"
As he healed them, Donovan then looks at Tenebrae who smiled at him and touched his chin, probably he was surprised to see such a thing happen before him.
"( What a surprise, a help from an outside party... )"
"( A unexpected surprise for sure, but I must say I quite enjoyed it. )" Tenebrae thinks while looking at the masked Donovan.
" Thanks for the help, I didn't expect for help to come, but I appreciated it. " Duncan says to his savior.
" May I know your name? perhaps what they call you, since you wear a mask? " Duncan asks Donovan, asking what he should call him.
"( My name? oh right, I should've prepared for another name before meeting dad. ) "
"( Since dad still believes that I'm with Vector driving me home, then I shouldn't let him be aware that I'm the one who saved him. )" Donovan thinks as he considers what to say next since he must make his dad believe that he's a different person.
"( I need another identity, another name that's different from my real name but I can still recognize while in this form. )"
"( What should I present myself, I must choose a new name, but... )"
"( I think it should start with 'D', for I always want to have another name that sounds similar to my name but different. )"
"( But which name, oh wait... perhaps. )" Donovan said to himself after finding the quick answer, looking at his dad and saying.
" You should call me, Draven, sir. " Donovan presents himself as Draven, his second name that he suddenly found in his mind.
" Draven? that's what they call you? " Duncan looks at him, as he looks at 'Draven's body.
" That name is quite menacing, like a Vigilante name... "
" Aren't you too young to be one, umm... Draven? " Duncan asks Draven (Donovan) as he comments about it.
"( Oh crap, did he notice? )" Donovan thinks to himself, still not used to the 'Draven' identity for it just born recently without any planning or preparation, for the identity was his instant idea since the name was inspired from something he found on the MagiNet.
"( The name 'Draven' was actually an RPG Boss character that I also just recently fight in the game, the Boss that has the ability of Smoke, as he uses the Ashes as his power. )"
"( Thanks to Carlos during our Co-op last night, I was able to destroy that one Boss and receive the items, it was a great battle. )" Donovan says as he remembers that he must be on guard during the play, fearing his parents checking him sleeping or not.
As Donovan thinks of it, he then responds, trying to be different than his usual talk as he tries to talk like the 'Draven' Boss in the game, following his dialogue.
" Of course, Mr....! " Donovan raises his voice like the 'Draven' Boss character did in the game.
" Did ya really think, my body is not capable of fighting the monsters, huh!? " 'Draven' says as he was not sure that with that answer, his 'father' will be convinced or not.
"( Please be convinced, please be convinced!!! )" He says in his mind.
As he says it, Tenebrae laughs, before Duncan and Agniz can even respond to what 'Draven' just said, for his eyes are focused on the laughing Tenebrae.
" What are ya laughing at, Mr..!!!? "
" Ya think that my name is funny, huh!? " Donovan oopss..., Draven says to Tenebrae at that moment, feeling pissed as the 'Draven' persona begins to be born.
" Oh no, no, no... " Tenebrae cals at him.
" No, not at all, it's just... hahaha... " Tenebrae laughs, showing his handsome face which pisses up both Duncan and 'Draven'.
"( His laughing face, it really looks like he's mocking us... )" Duncan and 'Draven' says as they both summoned their swords.
[ Leaf Cutter ] Duncan equips it from his [ Dimensional Pouch ]
< Aether Blade > 'Draven releases it from his Inventory.
" Oh look at you both, enraged so soon. " Tenebrae says, ending his laugh of mockery.
[Tenebris Gladius]
Tenebrae summon his sword of Darkness, summoning the very Blade of destruction, made from Darkness itself.
" Well if that's the case, it seems we should end the conversation here and start slicing each other... "
" Shall we...? " Tenebrae asks.
" With pleasure...! " Duncan and 'Draven' says, responding to the challenge.
