'2 on 1? Don't you feel ashamed confronting me like this?' Franz provoked them.
'Huh? Are you scared or something?' Alfi asked.
'Cut the crap!' Franz dashes to Alfi's direction ready to slash Alfi's body.
Alfi blocks Franz's sword easily.
'How is it possible? A mere bamboo sword... How can it be this solid?' Franz looks upset.
'Level two: BG.' Alfi said dismantling Franz's sword easily.
Alfi splits it into two and swings them horizontally and vertically shoving Franz.
'Wh... What just happened?!' Varz said in amazement.
'Level two: BG. Turning a sword as strong as 200 swords. Pelidi is a bamboo sword which manipulates its strength based on a certain formula. Of course, there's a condition to use it, which is turning a fiery anger into a will of fire.' Alfi explained. 'Varz, I'm sorry for being unable to save Larz, but with this sword. I will not let any single life waste! I... WILL NOT LET ANYONE DIE IN FRONT OF ME!' Alfi dashes to Franz in a high speed.
Alfi is performing crazy slash to Franz just like Kirito without any unnecessary exaggerating shouting. Franz is just trying to dodge it.
'Level three: CG!' Alfi's pace is increasing significantly.
"Not only strength, but his pace is getting tenser and tenser. I just can't let it hit me." Franz said in his mind.
Franz back-dashes and lunches himself backward by the impact caused by extending his arm which has turned into a snake to make a stance. It comes to Alfi, He swiftly splits it into two in a single slash. The split snake is shrinking back to Franz and turning back to his arm which has been split into two.
"Incredible! He even split my arm into two." Franz said in his mind.
The blue Iru cloaks in his arm, and his arm is recovered in a jiffy.
'WHAT?!' Alfi exclaimed.
'It... It's recovered already???' Kartika just can't believe what she saw.
'Franz has a great regeneration skill. As long as he has such ability, nobody can't defeat him.' Harz said.
'Is there any way to defeat him?' Kartika asked.
'Varz is the key.' Darz said. 'He is able to cut Iru circulation, remember? If he can deal a severe cut on Franz' Iru circulation, there must be a chance for him to defeat Franz.' She added.
'Shes's right.' Franz said. 'But...' The blazing blue Iru is gushing out of his body.
6 snakeheads appear around his body. Their glowing eerie green eyes and venomous blue fangs is enough to send chill on one's spine.
'Do you think you can touch me that easily?!' Those snakes are going through the blue Iru barrier to Kartika, Herman, Koji, Katon, Darz, and Harz's direction.
When those snakes are about to bite them, suddenly those six are vanished by a single swift slice.
'What?!' Franz exclaimed.
'Don't you dare! Your opponent is me!' Alfi exclaimed.
Tipit is floating over them and the edge is attached by the magic curtain to Alfi's right jacket sleeve.
'You son of a bitch!' Franz exclaimed.
'Oh, did you forget something?' Alfi asked.
'What is it?' Franz looks irritated.
Suddenly a thunder strikes him. Varz appears behind him performing a surprise attack by slashing Franz with both of his sword sending him flying slamming the wall of the temple.
'He is not your only opponent here, you little piece of shit!' Varz said.
'Hey, why don't you just sit back and cry over your friend? I can take care of him if you want to.' Alfi said.
'Cut the fucking crap!' Varz exclaimed.
Franz then awakes and dashes to both of them with both of his arms which have turned into snakes. Seeing that, Alfi and Varz dash to Franz too. Both of those snakes spits blue venomous blades from their mouth. Alfi and Varz block them together. Two other snakes come out from Franz's body for a surprise attack. Realizing that, Alfi launches Tipit to slice Franz's arms and snakes.
'Now!' Alfi exclaimed.
Alfi and Varz swiftly slash Franz together. Franz keels over and turns to his normal form. Suddenly his Iru is gushing out morphing a great blue snake, Sunekuo.
'Sunekuo?!' Cakra is shocked seeing Sunekuo who just came out from Franz's body.
'H... How can? If a Doki-doki user dies, his Ribo will die as well, right? What went wrong anyway?!' So does Kartika.
'How pathetic, Frans.' Sunekuo insults him.
'Ah, Sunekuo? What just happened?' Franz looks so confused like he knows nothing.
Franz gets up and sees his surroundings.
'Vincent? What just happened here?' Franz asked.
They do look confused. Why the hell Franz turns to be so absent-minded all of sudden? Suddenly a man in blue-based polka dot cloak appears before Franz.
'You!!' Franz is shocked seeing his presence.
'That guy!!' Kartika becomes vigilant all of sudden.
'I guess I expect too much from you. What a letdown.' He said.
"blue-based polka dot cloak!"
'You!!' Varz suddenly feels angry and dashes in no time to that guy, yet suddenly Sunekuo coils his body tightly.
'Where's your manner, Sunekuo? We are not going to kill him... For now.' He said.
Suddenly Alfi appears from nowhere behind him to execute a surprise attack with both of his bamboo swords, but suddenly some blue Iru which looks like beast arms come out from his body holding those bamboo swords and Tipit.
'Oh, is it the Alfa which rumor has it that he will stop us?' He said summoning a blue bull sending Alfi flying.
He raises his arms summoning a swordfish to Alfi's direction. Alfi has no time to reach his bracelet, that it pierces his body. His body is falling slamming the ground.
'Alfi!' Kartika exclaimed.
Kartika and the others do want to help him, yet the effect of Franz's poison is just too strong. All they can do is just stay there wishing Alfi and Varz a good luck.
'Sunekuo, do it.' He said.
Sunekuo lets Varz go and swiftly devours Franz's body. His body is just like being cloaked in snakeskin. The skin is entering his body and he turns to Abiofusi mode. Franz's face looks like a vicious snake with glowing green eyes. He says nothing but hissing.
'Well, guess you should kill him before he takes the soul of the innocence. See ya.' He's gone by the wind.
'Wait!' Varz exclaimed trying to reach that guy, but Franz viciously dashes to Varz.
Varz swiftly blocks Franz's sword with both of his swords. Franz then summons a horde of snakes from his body. Varz then strikes him with a thunder and beheads Franz once and for all.
'It's over!' Varz exclaimed.
Suddenly, the head floats back to his neck. The head is cloaked in blue Iru turning it into a snakehead.
'No way! Don't tell me that his regeneration skill is improved as well!' Harz exclaimed.
Franz summons many hordes of snakes. What Varz can do now is nothing but slicing them up, but those snakes are multiplying by splitting themselves into two as Varz is slicing them up. They keep biting his legs. Varz screams in pain as he keeps slicing them up. No matter how many snakes he has sliced up, they just keep multiplying themselves that Varz looks like he is in the middle of the sea of snakes. Varz feels weak as they keep biting his legs that he collapses because of their venomous poison. Franz then appears over him ready to devour him.
Suddenly, a flare of fire burn those snakes down and magic curtain covers Varz's legs. He sees Alfi stands right there wielding Pelidi and blazing Tipit.
'I'm sorry Varz, I got a little carried away before.' He said. 'Let's defeat it once and for all!' He exclaimed.
Alfi and Varz are dashing to Franz for a counter attack.
'Huh? Where am I?' Franz found himself on the moonlight plain.
He gets up and sees his surrounding.
'It's so deserted, am I in the afterlife already?' Franz wondered.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Franz then decides to explore this plain. He sees nothing but night sky and a beautiful moon. This plain is really vast. After walking for a quite long time, he sees a swordman familiar to him.
'Lucas!' Franz calls him while waving his arm.
Lucas then turns his head and he becomes vigilant. He unsheathes his sword and swiftly straps him with the iron bar of his sword.
'What do you want?!' Larz rebukes him.
'W... Wait. Why are you strapping me like this?' Franz asked.
'Stop playing victim already! Now, answer my question or I'll crush your skinny body!' Larz threatened him.
'Larz! I'm innocent! Really! Please listen to me!' Franz begged as he is almost unable to breathe.
'Let him go! Larz!' Suddenly, Arz and the others appear right in front of them.
'Arz?!' Larz is shocked.
'Kakak?!' Franz as well.
Larz then lets him go.
'Hufft... Hufft... Thank you.' Franz said.
Arz swiftly pulls Franz's collar and points his sword to Franz's face.
'What's wrong with you?!' Arz shouted.
'Kakak... I...' Franz said.
'Speak up!' Arz shouted.
'I will! I will! But, please let me down.' Franz begged.
Arz then slams him to the ground.
'Stand up!' Arz shouted.
Franz then stands up, but suddenly Larz straps him with the iron bar from his blade.
'Thanks, Larz.' Arz said. 'Speak up!'
'Wel... Actually, Sunekuo isn't my Ribo. That guy in blue-based polka dot cloak gave me. He has such a strange power.' Franz said.
'What power?' Arz asked.
'Well, he is just like a summoner. He can summon any beast, and Sunekuo is one of them. He appeared in front of me and suddenly offered me a help to help me summon my Ribo. I also couldn't believe that Sunekuo that he summoned became my Ribo. When I gave it a shot, I felt a great strength flowing in me. ' Franz explained.
'Why the hell did you accept? Didn't I tell you not to talk to a stranger?' Arz asked.
'I...' Franz has a hesitation in his heart. 'I was distressed.'
'What do you mean?' Arz asked.
'Well... I felt that you were always close to Varz. You always kept him a company anytime. I did understand that you did that so he could gain some confidence, right? So he could stop hating himself and his life. I did agree, but I felt somehow you forgot me as you always be there for him. I did want your attention, so I accepted his offering with pleasure, as probably if I managed to summon my Ribo, you'd be happy and you'd notice me more often.' He explained sadly.
Arz remains silent.
'When I showed Sunekuo to you, you looked so happy. Seeing your happy face did make me happy. I did hope that you'd notice me more often instead of Varz, yet nothing changed. You didn't notice me. It was so... So... Painful.' Franz sobbed.
'But, is it really necessary for you to do all of this?' Arz asked.
'Well, it's painful, you know. But I didn't expect this to happen.' Franz sobbed.
'Then why the hell did you do all these things?! Many innocent souls wasted because of you! Your brothers were dead because of you! I-'
'I know!' Franz shouted. 'I was upset, but I never planned to do such a ruthless thing! I don't know what I have just done nor you are talking about. I thought it was just a dream, but it did happen.' Franz explained.
'What do you mean?' Arz asked.
'Well... I felt like I had a very deep sleep for a long time. Seriously, I don't know anything.' Franz explained.
'Was that snake possessing you?' Larz asked.
'I guess. Sunekuo and I didn't get along well. He doesn't want to notice me no matter how many times I tried to get to know him. With a distress from outside and inside, I felt distressed, and as if he devoured me, yet I didn't feel like I was dead. It was just like sleeping.' Franz explained.
'Which means...' Arz said.
'Don't tell me?! He was possessing you in the first place?!' Larz said.
'I think so. I barely remember anything. When I was awake, I was surprised to see my current body. I had grown up so had my snake.' Franz explained.
'Err... Ok...' Arz gets awkward.
Carz and Karz look blushing.
'If that's true, the blue snake which attacked me was summoned by Sunekuo who possessed you?' Arz asked.
'A snake? Didn't Varz kill you?' Irz asked.
'What's wrong with you? Why the hell you always put the blame on him? Are you scared he would destroy the village like the holocaust 20 years ago? The one who did that is the dragon inside his body, not him! How many times should I say this to you?!' Arz scolding Irz.
'Well... That's...' Irz is getting overwhelmed.
'And I am sure not only Irz and Karz who still hate him. You guys too, right? Don't you feel pity for him? Being hated for something he has never done. If that's so, you don't deserve to be bestowed by these sacred stars, because you are no different from animals!' Arz exclaimed.
They all look down.
'Larz, thanks for being his friend.' Arz said.
Larz just nods.
Franz sees the moon which streams the fight between Alfi and Varz vs the possessed Franz.
'I should be embarrassed for Varz. He is always hated and ignored by everyone ever since his birth, but he never gives up on his fate and keeps fighting to look for who he is and whom he fights for. Yet me, I was born normally with normal life could just give up that easily that causing such a holocaust. Why the hell I took his offer? I was just upset that you always keep Varz company instead of me without realizing that you'd never leave me alone no matter what.' Franz said. 'Is there anything I can do to atone all of this?' He added.
'Yes, there is.' Arz said. 'But, I need your help. Will you guys help me?' He added.
All of them nod their heads.
Alfi and Varz are shoved slamming the ground. Those snakes are going to their direction. Alfi swiftly burns them to ashes by spitting fire from Tipit's edge.
"Tipit has the abilities to nullify Iru and spitting fire. If the fire does nullify Iru too, then..."
'Varz, are you still good to go? Can you cut his Iru circulation for me?' Alfi gets up.
'Sounds like you have a plan, eh?' Varz gets up.
'HISSSS!' Sunekuo launches a horde of snakes to their direction.
Alfi draws Pelidi and Jepitron. Those clips are shotting laser from their tips vanishing those snakes.
'Varz! Go! I'll take care of those snakes!' Alfi exclaimed.
Varz is dashing to Sunekuo. When Varz is about to slashes him, suddenly Varz sees that snakehead turning into Franz's frightening face saying 'Varz, help!'
Varz becomes hesitate, and Sunekuo takes the chance by impaling Varz's abdomen.
'YOU WILL NEVER DEFEAT ME WITH SUCH A PATHETIC HUMANITY! THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU WEAK!' Sunekuo exclaimed.
'Shut the hell up!' Varz summons his wind sword to impale that snakehead.
He sees that face again making him stop his attack.
'TOLD YA.' Sunekuo slashes him that he gets shoved.
Varz slams the ground. Something like blue slime can be seen around his abdoming causing him unable to move.
'Shit! I forgot that his sword is venomous! Not to mention that it has infiltrated my body because of the open wound from that slash. Shit!' Varz can't move his body.
'TOLD YA! THE MORE YOU NICE TO PEOPLE, THE WEAKER YOU GET! COME ON, AWAKEN THE BEAST INSIDE YOUR BODY AND GO BERSERK! JUST KILL ME SO THEY WILL HATE YOU MORE AS THEY WILL PUT THE BLAME ON YOU AS YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE LEFT FROM AAL OF US!' Sunekuo slowly approaches him.
'I... I don't want to! I am not a demon who just knows how to kill. I am a human!' Varz denies it.
'THEN I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT KEEPING TORMENTING YOU THAT THAT SCUM DRAGON INSIDE YOU AWAKENED JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU CONFRONTED IRWAN!' Sunekuo raises his sword.
Suddenly Alfi comes blocking his sword with Pelidi.
'Alfi?!'
'If you want to make him depressed so bad, then I'll make you depressed first!' Alfi swiftly impales that snakehead with blazing Tipit. 'SO YOU WILL UNDERSTAND HOW PAINFUL DESPAIR IS!' He shouted.
'Yeah!' They all shouted.
"Did it work?" Alfi hesitated.
That Sunekuo's head which is impaled by a blazing crowbar does look like he's dead, yet when Alfi is letting his guard down, Sunekuo opens his head and swiftly devours him.
'Alfi!' They are shocked.
Alfi looks trashing around inside Sunekuo's expanding body. It's like Alfi is trying to get out by keeping attacking from inside.
"If only we had enough Iru." They are cornered as they can't do anything but seeing Alfi trying to get out from that snake body.
"Varz!"
"Varz!"
"Vincent!"
"Franz?! Is that you?!" Varz is surprised hearing Franz's voice in his inner.
"Please forgive me for everything I've done to you."
"Just forget it! I've gotta save that moron!"
"Then, let us help you!"
"Us?"
"You heard him, right? All of us will help you!" Varz heard Irz's voice.
"Irz?"
"We are going to transfer all of our Iru to you. Well, just consider it as an apology from all of us. Well, we are Swordsmen of the Stars who is assigned to assist His Highness Alfa, right? We are not just a mere special force, we are family, and a family is supposed to help each other!" Irz said.
"You guys..."
"We are in too!" Agung and Geh exclaimed.
"Varz! Just kill that fucking snake already!" Karz exclaimed.
"Just put an end to it once and for all!" Carz exclaimed.
"Make sure Harz and Darz save!" Larz exclaimed.
"Protect our village!" Jarz exclaimed.
"Protect the citizen!" Garz exclaimed.
"Protect this country!" Barz exclaimed.
"Protect your friends!" Arz exclaimed.
"Protect this world! Varz!" Irz exclaimed.
Varz feels an abudant sum of Iru flowing in his body. It nullifies the poison in his body and recovers his body as well.
'You guys...' Varz said.
Varz gets up and dashes to Sunekuo.
'WHAT?!' Sunekuo is shocked seeing Varz dashing to his direction.
'NO WAY! THE POISON SHOULD HAVE PARALYZED HIM!'
Suddenly some shivs are being launched puncturing Sunekuo's body and white feathers are floating surrounding him.
'YOU!'
'You must know...' Harz said.
'That we...' Darz said.
'Fight with him!' They both exclaimed.
Varz unsheathes his sword and summons his wind sword. He points them to the front and speeds up with thunder and wind cloaks him in.
'Angin ribut! (Stormy Wind)' Varz thrusts Sunekuo that he spits out Alfi to the sky.
Alfi falls slamming the ground with his body covered by blue slime.
'I feel defiled.' Alfi said.
'Cut the crap already!' Kartika and Koji exclaimed irritatedly.
Alfi stands up and draws Pelidi from his bracelet.
'Let's put an end to this once and for all! Level 7: GG. 70000000 swords!' Alfi exclaimed dashing to Sunekuo's direction.
Darz and Harz keep shooting him. Alfi swiftly slashes him 70000000 times and ends it with a heavy thrust.
'Varz!' Alfi exclaimed.
Varz takes a leap raising both of his swords. His swords are cloaked in thick and blazing purple Iru along with heavy thunder and wind as well.
'Go!' Doraduo and the Swordsmen of the Stars shouted.
'Teknik Jitu: Naga Bintang! (Ultimate Technique: Dragon of Stars)' Varz exclaimed.
Both of his swords slash Sunekuo's head that his body vanished by the heavy clap causing by his swords.
Varz sheathes his sword. He remains silent there.
"Frans... I'm sorry if I always denied your presence. If only I could convince myself to behave well like a human, maybe we could make some wonderful memories together."
"What are you talking about? Just turn around!" Franz exclaimed.
He turns around. He sees Alfi, Kartika, Herman, Koji, Katon, Harz, and Darz running to his direction.
"You don't need to worry about being alone anymore. You've made some good friends there, and even so, we'll always be here for you." Franz said.
"I never expected this to happen. I thought that my life would be empty haunted by hatred and despair, but I was wrong. That moron suddenly came out of nowhere just for lighting my life. I become like this because of Kartika. She always makes me horny, but now I'll be stronger and stronger to protect that moron and this world together." Varz's inner said.
Varz then walks to approach them. Alfi draws the magic curtain and throws it to Varz.
'My condolences.' Alfi said.
'You have to be ready to win and lose in the middle of the war. Well, it's too bad that the sages died and the Swordsmen of the Stars are just 3 people left, but it's all for the world, right? If we don't sacrifice, how can we win?' Varz explained.
They all smile.
'Let's go. We have one place left to visit, right?' Varz said.
Alfi nods.
'We are coming!' Harz exclaimed.
'Don't. Just leave it to us.' Varz said.
'Why?' Darz asked.
Varz approaches them and pats their shoulders.
'Dini, Haris, both of you are my friend. You became my friends regardless of who I am. I did say that sacrifice is a must, but I don't want to see you guys end up like Lucas. I do love you guys very much, so that's why I to see you guys hurt. I join them to protect this world, and you guys stay to protect our village, or maybe this island. If all of us leave, who would protect this island? Who would protect our home?' Varz explained.
'If that's what you want, promise me to put an end to Waku-waku and come back here.' Harz said.
'Definitely! It's my home, right?' Varz said.
Darz approaches him and kisses his lips gently. After she lets him go, Varz blushes.
'Promise me to come back alive, okay?' The blushing Darz said blushingly.
'Ye... Yeah. I promise.' Varz said.
'Come on Romeo, we've gotta go.' Alfi pats Varz's shoulder and enters Pinto.
'I'm going.' Varz said entering Pinto.
Pinto and Atam are flying away through the sky to their final destination, Pandawa Beach. Harz and Darz are seeing those giant bowls flying through the sky at high speed. Tears are dropping from their eyes.
'My father thought me that human is a creature who always do mistakes. If we are, we should understand each other, right? Why all of them hate Vincent? Is it because of that holocaust? Doesn't it make any sense? If only they wanted to be kind to him, they would know that Vincent is a better person than them.' Harz said.
'What are you talking about, anyway?' Darz asked.
'What a tsundere. You must be sad as I am knowing that he is leaving us, right?' Harz asked.
'Mind your own business!' Darz exclaimed leaving him behind.
'Darz, wai- Ah, dang. Well, guess I'll return to the village to hit the hay. I am so sleepy.' Harz yawn.
"Vincent, take care, okay? No matter where you are, I'll always wish you a good luck here. I love you." Darz said in her inner.
