Chapter 9
In the middle of a street that had marks suggesting a great battle had taken place, a young boy was lying unconscious on the cold hard ground. This young boy was Vincent, and he had lost consciousness after he had experienced his second life and death situation. There was no one else there except him. Well, there was this random clown walking towards him... If Vincent was awake, he would have freaked because it turns out he had an unnatural phobia of clowns. He would have probably fainted straight away if he knew that the clown was actually touching his forehead with its palm. This went on for a few minutes, with the clown stroking the young boy's forehead...
Clown (?) : There, that should have transferred all of Nea's memories into the boy. Hmm? What's this?
The clown looked at the locket that was given to Vincent by his mother. It was a very simple locket, with only the name "Vincent" engraved on it. The clown opened it up, and inside was a picture of a 4 year old Vincent from a year ago. This startled the clown, as he began to feel that something was amiss.
Clown (?) : ...His instructions were to find a boy by the name of Allen who had a monster-like left arm, so I should have gotten the right one, I mean, there aren't many boys that look like this to begin with...
? : Over there, the battle looks like it went towards that direction!
Clown (?) : ...How unfortunate, if they see us together, you might not be able to go on and become an exorcist. You'll need the support of the Black Order in the future, since they are a pretty strong force. I was planning to take you with me, but I think you'll be safer with them. *sigh* I truly do pity you, especially if you aren't the person I was searching for. Well, enjoy your life, at least until the memories consume you...
The boy was once more left alone in the street until a group of 3 turned around the corner and saw him lying there unconscious.

----------------------------------------
In a regular room that seemed to belong to an inn of some kind, a boy that looked barely old enough to be 5 years old had just woken up.
Vincent: ...Where am I?
When Vincent woke up, he had no idea where he was. He tried opening up a telepathic call with ES and the call connected.
ES: Mike!
Vincent: (ES, what happened once I passed out?)
ES: When you didn't check in with me 2 days ago, I was worried sick. I knew you weren't dead yet, but I was still worried sick about you!
Vincent: (Alright, I'm sorry I made you worry. I didn't think the fight would be that dangerous. It seems like this area is safe so I'll just leave my body here for now, wouldn't want anyone to freak out. I'll come meet you right now.)
With but a thought, Vincent arrived in the other dimension where his old body and his wife were at. When he arrived, he immediately noticed that he was being held in his wife's embrace and that his shirt was a little wet. He then took note that ES’s eyes were red and puffy, and he immediately felt guilty. He held up her face as he cupped her cheeks and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips which then evolved into a passionate kiss which then evolved into playing around on the bed for an hour or two. It could be said while looking at the two as they basked in the afterglow of sex that Mike more than made up for the days he had missed. After they calmed down a little more, ES asked Mike about what happened during the fight 2 days ago. Mike then explained how the battle was a little harder than expected and how his thoughts at the last second caused a change between his innocence and zanpakuto. ES was completely shocked about what happened.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Es: You fused two separate enhancements !?
Mike: Yeah, what's wrong? Did I cause something bad to happen.
ES: No, it's just that CE never planned to implement the ability to fuse enhancements like that until the 5 solo player worlds were completed. He never thought anyone would be able to attempt it, much less succeed. Ask Ana about what happened, she might be able to tell you why the fusion was possible and maybe even how to perform it again. If you can master it, you're individual power will surely have a huge increase in strength.
Mike: Alright, then I'll go see her right now while I can still be allowed to sleep in the other world. Who knows when I'll get another chance to come here for a long period of time.
With enough said, Mike sat down in meditation and entered his inner world to talk to Ana about what had happened.
Inner World
In a few seconds, Mike saw the familiar orange sky and endless forest.
Mike: Ana!
Ana: You called.
After calling for Ana, Mike immediately received a reply. He looked behind him and saw the familiar breathtaking vixen.
Mike: You think you could tell me about what that fusion was all about?
Ana: Sure, it's not like you could use it at a whim as you are now anyways. All you need to do is get stronger and getting stronger will allow me to fully recognize you as being worthy of me.
Mike: I'm looking forward to that day.
Mike gave a lecherous smirk as he made that comment. Ana’s cheeks flushed a bit.
Ana: What a coincidence, I feel the same.
Mike: Well, we are the definition of "soulmates", so was there any other option?
They had already begun to accept one another, but the only thing keeping them off each other is that Mike's strength is still inadequate. To completely make Ana his, he'd have to defeat her in reality.
Ana: *cough* Anyways, the reason the fusion occurred is because she initiated the fusion after reacting to your strong emotions.
Mike: She?
Ana gave a small smirk in satisfaction.
Ana: You know while the worlds may be similar, the world you reincarnated into is still a world created by CE meant for you. Don't you think he'd give you a little leeway for rule number 4.
Mike: I really do need to thank him when I get the chance, don't I? (But then again, it's because of him I'm losing all self-control I have...)
Ana: I would, he's the reason I got to meet you after all.
The two stared at each other’s eyes for a little while longer with a trace of longing.
Mike: Soon, Ana. (It's times like these that make me feel like every woman in existence is aggressive...)
Ana: I'll be waiting.
With refueled motivation, Mike left his inner world determined to become strong enough to make Ana his.
Reality
After returning to reality, Mike gave ES a quick kiss good bye and said he'd see her later. After she said bye, Mike left back to his reincarnated body in the other world.
