Another year has passed and Dante's life couldn't be more boring. He was always training. Body training was no longer on his top priority as he hit the cap of a human, the only thing he could expand further was Zen-oh's gifts and weaponry, and most of the time, he spends his time reading books and crafting weapons. Good thing he had Whis and Beerus to talk to. Without them, he would've gone insane. He also had fun playing with Zeno-chan.
Being best friends with the strongest being in the universe had a lot of pros and no cons. now and then, strong people from other universes would give him gifts. Books on 'Runes' was one of the best things he received. It was unique, it had endless possibilities.
"Dante-chan, would you like some bento?"
"Sure..." Dante didn't even look at Whis as he was focusing on a rune on a piece of paper that contained a lot of energy in it. "Wait a minute..."
"You went to Earth!?" Dante yelled, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Taken aback for a second, Whis fake-coughed. "~Ehem, we kinda forgot so..."
The teenager could only sigh and took the bento box, "Nevermind, I'm going there myself."
This caught the angel's interest and asked, "What do you mean? Your body can-"
"Yeah-yeah, I know. I'm going there by using this." Pointing towards the rune. "I've finished injecting enough time-space energy to support the formula I've written. This should be enough to travel to Earth."
Dante smugly grinned, he was proud of his creation. "It only took me three days to make this, bet you can't even do that."
Whis just sighed. Everybody has their antics, Dante's is just boasting. "Why don't we go to Lord Beerus before you depart."
Rolling his eyes, Dante just casually spoke. "Please, it's not like I'm leaving for good. I'm only visiting Earth, you know."
"Hmm... True, then I'll just inform Lord Beerus that you completed your... things to do, and you're just going to visit earth."
"Mm..." Dante nodded, and the angel disappeared from his view.
'Now...'
Channeling a little bit of time/space energy, the rune on the paper made a portal big enough to fit him. "Earth, here I come."
Dante walked towards the portal with eyes closed, he didn't know what to expect. As he was inside the portal, he could hear weird vibrations close to a horn but it was loud yet silent at the same time. Weird.
Opening his eyes, he saw the wonders inside the space. "So this is the gateway, amazing. It's definitely what the information portrayed. The floor is like glass, so clear. Wow."
As his eyes were captivated with the surrounding space while he continued walking, a quake suddenly shook the gateway. Tensing up a bit, Dante walked faster, but the quake came back stronger and it got to the point where the portal's space was shaking. Glass like panels fell as the tremor was stronger than ever. It felt like reality was shattering.
The raven-haired flew to make things fast but as he arrived halfway, his flight ability withered. Cutting of the energy used for flying, he began to run as fast as he could. He smiled in relief as he was close to his desired gate, but as he stomped, the floor cracked and shattered. "Shit..."
Tripping himself, Dante cursed out loud. The shatter caused a ripple effect and shattered the rest of the pathway making him fall. There was no wind to flutter his clothes, but he could feel that he was falling.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit..."
There were a lot of portals that he could fall on, he could only hope to fall on the best one. Where he wouldn't die right away.
"SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-"
XXXXXXXXXX
"Wrong, again!"
"Ugh!"
"Again!"
"Again!"
Sounds of wooden swords clashing could be heard as a young girl with ashen hair was on the ground panting and an old man with white hair in a mesh armor covered with leather could be seen.
"See? This is your first day, yet you're already being so haughty." the old man shook his head.
"Give her a break old man, she's just a kid." a black-haired man in leather and metal on his shoulders laughed. "She'll learn over time."
The old man sighed and shook his head, "A kid she is, and a kid you were when you passed the trial of the grasses, Lambert."
The now named Lambert shook his head and folded his arms, "And many died Vesemir, can't you go a little easier on her?"
"Easier? This is what I want, a challenge!" The ashen haired girl sat up and pouted, "I'd rather have this than books!"
The two could only sigh.
"Seems like the kid's down"
Smiling, the old man looked towards the speaker. "Geralt, Eskel, took you a while."
Geralt sighed as he pointed at a goat, "Hiding, took a while to find."
"Ooh is Geralt of Rivia rusting out?" Lambert teased a little while laughing.
Eskel laughed a lot and shared his experience, "T'was challenging, Geralt and I had to Axii that goat all the way here."
All of them shared their laugh except the girl who was pouting from being ignored. Geralt took notice of this and chuckled. He went to the girl's side and offered her his hand, making her grin and stood her up.
"Well then, Geralt and Eskel are done with hunting, I'm done training Ciri, Lambert's cooking!" Vesemir laughed as the latter groaned.
"-IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!"
All of them were about to get in only for a portal to appear on top of Ciri and a man suddenly crashed on top of her, unconscious.
"What the hell?" were the only words all the witchers could mutter.
Geralt widened his eyes, "Ciri!" ran towards the said girl but found her blushing and cursing out.
"Get 'im off!"
Geralt then grabbed the unconscious man and lifted him, then Eskel grabbed Ciri's hand. Lambert who was busy Axii'ing the goat was beginning to get tired. "How 'bout we just give him a bed and some privacy, then question him when he wakes up."
Vesemir nodded towards Lambert then to Geralt, "What I was thinking, how 'bout we share him with Ciri's room, for now, she's got two beds anyway."
Geralt who lifted the man nodded and looked towards Ciri and raised a brow when he saw her grumpy face. 'Kids these days...'
