Chapter 31: Chapter 26 The Unforeseen Blitz

[FLASHBACK!]

...

D#/%$!

Dan/#!

DANTE!

Daniel's frantic shouts pierced his ears, abruptly pulling Dante from his dreams. Daniel had been teaching him about his ability and possible weaknesses, though these are just theories that he made. Nothing is 100% veridic.

With my head still in the clouds and some drool in my mouth, I managed to muster a confused, "Eh?!"

Noticing how little Dante cared about what he was doing, he prodded him, "This might come fancy. I don't recall you hating this type of stuff before."

Nonchalantly shrugging it off, I replied, "Eh, I just hate studying.. I mean, everyone does but right now, I'm not in the mood to study nor I'll be anytime soon." ending with a big yawn.

Growing a bit frustrated, Daniel asked, "Let's say you can move at the speed of light. If you had legs, friction would be a problem, but your body is strong enough to survive at high speeds, and you also use wings, so according to this equation, you-"

Dante's eyes slowly closed the more he heard his friend.

"-Now, you may be able to move fast, but that means nothing against someone who ignores the concept of movement or time."

Testing how much attention Dante put on him, His friend asked, "If someone cages you in a barrier, what do you do? how do you break it?"

"Punching it?" I responded, half-conscious, half-asleep.

Daniel sighed before saying, "I prefer your old version."

A bit indignant, I exclaimed, "WHAT! Now that's a huge claim, do you really prefer that drama queen of Rarity?"

Daniel replied, "At least that version took everything seriously, maybe too much. It's better to be too extremely cautious than not even caring the slighlist."

A bit unwillingly, I responded, "Okay, I'm going to pay more attention..."

[END OF FLASHBACK]

...

Why is everything so loud and, at the same time, quiet? It feels like my ears are going to explode. Everything keeps blurring...

Dante's body suddenly lost all of its acceleration the same second he propelled upwards. He was flummoxed. Why did he stop flying?

The pegasi gasped for air, feeling a sharp pain in his chest. Just then, he realized that a red crimson liquid was dripping from his face, which wasn't supposed to be there... "Am I bleeding?"

His wings started to fail. They felt weak and feeble, not because they were damaged but rather because he couldn't even control them. His whole body felt numb, as if he had slammed into an invisible wall.

Dante's body kept falling with everyone, throbbing with pain, a pain that pulsed with each beat of his heart. He just bashed his skull at an incredible speed, causing severe cranial traumatism accompanied by a concussion, but that was the least of his worries.

"My eyes are closing shit! I can't be out of the game so soon". The world around Dante spun as darkness crept in from the edges of his sight. But he desperately clung, teetering at the edge, gritting his teeth against the pain caused by the broken shards of his bones.

In Dante's mind, a simple plan raced. It was a one-word plan, "kamikaze" himself as if he was a Mitsubishi.

From everyone else's POV, just as they felt the pressure of moving at such high speed. Gravity pulled them back to the ground.

Confusion painted their face "???" Everyone was puzzled about what had just happened

they looked up to see how Dante was bleeding and freefalling to the floor

another thing to recall is someone's body exploded

Daniel quickly assessed a plan. He wanted to know how heavy the damage his friend took was.

In his ephemeral consciousness, the pegasus impregnated a few words in his mind and body: "Not yet."

Suddenly, Dante's body starts to vibrate before transforming into an unstoppable force going full-on A-train against the first thing he sees

The target, chosen randomly, bore the brunt force of Dante's speed burst.

A girl with blue hair and piercing green eyes stood frozen. Her elegant dress has changed its colors to a scarlet red. Her stomach became a grotesque scene, hit by the forceful impact of the pegasi that had made a donut of her. The result is a visceral and gory display.

The pegasus bounced on the floor several times before stopping all his momentum, leaving a smokescreen of dirt in his path.

A voice broke the silence amid this shock, "Sinfonia No: 13 Dance of the Knights."

Four knights manifested beside Dante's body. Their metallic silver armor shone in the sun, accompanied by imposing auras and swords in hand.

The four knights safeguarded the perimeter, covering Dante from any enemy that might intrude to finish the job.

Just as the magic of James unfolded, the whole team took advantage of the chaos Dante made before the enemy players could recover from the small window he created.

From the perspective of the enemy, the world shifted in an instant. Two of their allies now lay lifeless on the floor. One had its upper body exploded, and the other one had its stomach outside.

Shocked by the scene, James commented, "I knew that girl was fast, but not to this extent."

Everyone else believed that Dante killed two persons in one second, but in reality, everything was an accident.

One of the enemies had the stand "The World." the moment Dante started to fly, he stopped time and hit him for 3 seconds. When time resumed, the powerful kinetic force hit both of them, exploding the enemy player's upper body.

There, the pegasus lay on the ground, with his body broken and battered. His eyes were blank, staring into nothingness. Shallow breaths escaped from his mouth. His skull, ribs and spine were fractured and devastated. 

A gruesome sight of blood adorned the pegasi. His feathers and coat were drenched in a visceral show. Only god knows the extent of damage this pegasus received.

Dante tried to move his body, but at most, it responded with feeble twitches. The more he thought about it, the more the impotence overwhelmed every inch of his being. 

What just happened...? I was flying upwards and... I crashed? There are four knights beside me, allies? I can see Daniel urgently trying to get close to me. The new guy is casting weird magic.

Shit, I'm falling asleep...

I don't want...

Why am I so weak... Aren't I supposed to be an aspect? A lucky guy with everything solved?

Ha...

His body trembled, struggling to move, hardly managing to stand on four legs. His cutie mark emanated a brilliant glow, resonating with his ideals as an immense quantity of energy accumulated inside him.

Beware of a new possible menace. A lot of players looked in that direction, feeling an ominously threatening shiver. Half of them were ready for the pegasus to instantly move from the place.

The cutie mark continued to radiate its brightness until Dante was completely enveloped.

A cold and monotonous voice echoed in his head, "Failure... #### can't be completed. Reason: Not enough gold, not enough level, there is a lack of upgrades."

Dante couldn't even question what just happened before his legs stopped working, stumbling upon the floor in a coma.

Despite being unconscious, Dante's terrifying display of power left everyone stunned in silence.

Authors note: (This is my fav chap for now. It took me a lot of my time.)

*sip* um... I forgot... I'M NOT JOKING. I FORGOT WHAT I WAS GOING TO WRITE HERE.

Uh... Meh, it wasn't something important... I guess?

For those who want to know what just happened. Next chapter, I'll explain it, but for now, just remember this:

He isn't the Mane Six. He is merely borrowing that power.

ALSO!

I WANT Y'ALL TO MEET HIS ALTERNATIVES... hehe I went wild with them.

I called those chapters:

'Radical Left'

'Radical Right'

And 'the other side of the same coin'

By the name, you should already have an idea of how "PECULIAR" they will be.

Sadly I have to wait almost a month to write that. T_T

What? Why did I make chapters that won't be here anytime soon?

...

If I didn't make those, I probably wouldn't be able to concentrate... They are just ideas I get, and I decide to write them to use them somehow later on.
