The sound of weapon’s clashing echoed through the training center. Both primes were exchanging blows with the, by syntech provided, training weapons. Kanda was holding back a bit, though it was obvious to him the king was thinking the exact same thing. Neither was going to show the outside world what they were truly capable off. Both Nippurians were highly skillful with a sword. Their dance of blades carried them through the gym designed hall. For a brief moment both warrior souls got caught in the harmonious flow of sparring, forgetting about their sources of anger. The world around them disappeared, there was only the next strike to either block or send on it’s way. It was at this moment Kanda observed first hand this King was not just a man of royal descent, it was a skilled fighter with the heart of a fighter. A single strong strike, originating from the gold armored royalty, was blocked over the exorcist’s head. The sound of the final weapons clash resonated through the hall. This final strike was more of a ceremonial finish for a sparring match both hotheats needed. Their eyes did all the talking, a smirk from Kanda and a satisfied nod from king Gilgamesh ended of their match.
“My king” An unfamiliar voice disrupted their moment of zen. The captain noticed a woman calling for Gilgamesh’s attention with a voice as soothing as a mothers hum. She was an exceptionally gorgeous specimen of god’s creatures.
“You know this woman?” Kanda asked bluntly. He never was one for formalities. Gilgamesh nodded, “Yes i do. Kanda, meet Ahana, one of my subjects in Nippur. Ahana, meet Kanda, the captain of the Nippur guards.”
The woman didn’t respond in the conventional way with words, she just stood there, almost stunned before pointing towards something behind the swordmasters. Kanda turned around and noticed a big announcement screen from Syntech. The brackets and teams were just revealed. The exorcist’s eyes widened when he noticed.. - Kanda Vs. Gilgamesh / Desman.
A jolt of both excitement and resentment was sent throughout his body. He got matched up to fight against his King? It appeared he got help from some unknown tool as well. Gilgamesh stood next to him, “Well, it seems you get to find out why i am the king,” He said ever so humble.
It wasn’t until one of the Syntech employees smacked the screen and the entire image appeared that made Gilgamesh appear overwhelmed. Another name appeared before Kanda’s. It was the king’s old rival, someone responsible for his two agonising years in hell. The atmosphere suddenly took a turn for the worse as both contestants merely stared at the words:
Mickey Mouse / Kanda Vs. Gilgamesh / Desman
“Are you alright?” Kanda finally asked.
“Alright? ALRIGHT? I am fucking excited. Finally i get my revenge on that halfbreed rodent, i couldn’t be more passionate about slicing up that filthy mongrel. Try to not get in my way, you can play with the other pest.”
Kanda looked at the others before saying words he may regret later, “ I’m not sure that works. This is Dante’s Abyss afterall. Once we are in the arena, there is no king, there is no guard. There is the honor of battle and nothing else.”
The words never seemed to reach the king’s attention, his fixated gaze had him in trance. It was unmistakable, there was nothing in the Omniverse that would keep Gilgamesh from throwing everything he has at Kanda’s new partner. The battle ahead would be a passionate one. The exorcist just hoped he would be on the right side when everything was over and done for. Without sharing another word with the King the captain headed for the exit, passing Ahana as he stepped out, “It was a pleasure meeting you.”
The bunny eared woman snapped out of her gaze towards the screen and quickly responded before Kanda was too far off, “You to, sir!”
It was time to find Mickey, he should be around the facility somewhere. The swordsman started walking around, searching for his ally during this Abyss. Around him many primes were gazing at the screens, curious whom they’d be fighting and who would be their ally. Almost as if Karl set this up himself, place the man whose duty it is to protect the King on the other side of the ring from the King. And while he was at it, grab his mortal enemy and have him fight the King together with his guard. It was almost too good to be true, Karl sure loved his drama.
After walking around the Syntech base he noticed in the distance two vertically challenged primes hugging the crap out of eachother. A lot of bromance was going on over there, but the big ears were a dead giveaway, he found the mouse. As Kanda approached the robotic figure noticed they were no longer alone and turned his gaze towards the exorcist as he came closer. It took Mickey a few seconds longer, he watched the blue haired warrior advance, “Blue, you know this guy?”
"Not a clue, but look at the symbol on his chest," the machine said with a mild scowl. "It's Gilgamesh's lion. He's probably one of his lackeys," he added tenselyProtoman referred to the golden lion crest embroidered into the chest of Kanda’s uniform. It was a symbol he represented New Babylon in the competition. Both primes had their guard up, unknowing of the stranger’s attention or what he was capable of.
“Gosh, he doesn’t look to friendly,must be one of Gilgamesh’s alright, i just don’t want any trouble.” The mouse proclaimed, worried things were getting out of hand once again.
It wasn’t long before Kanda stood in front of both primes, towering over them, “I assume you are the prime known as Mickey Mouse?”
“Y-yes?” The mouse stumbled on his words with his high pitched voice. His conformation was met with an open extended hand. “My name is Kanda, exorcist of the black order and guard captain of nippur.” He proclaimed in a more deep and serious tone of voice, “It appears you and i have been selected at ‘random’ by the clown in charge to team up this years Dante’s abyss.”
“Wha? What do you mean, teamed up?” Just as the mouse asked he received a nudge from his robotic friend, “Mickey, look over there.” The keyblade hero turned around to look and his mouth dropped open when he finally learned the bitter truth of the upcoming showdown.
Mickey Mouse / Kanda Vs. Gilgamesh / Desman
Kanda allowed the information to sink in, it was a big pill to swallow.
“Blue, i’m facing Gilgamesh. Right at the start i am forced to fight that man again.” The mouse sounded slightly worried and discouraged. ”-With- one of his guards.” He added, topping the sundae off with a cherry on top.
The exorcist not deaf nor absent decided it was a good time to interject, “Look, i know of your past with the King, I am also aware you are partly responsible for sentencing that man towards damnation.” Mickey visibly gulped. “But that is irrelevant for the here and now. I fight with the exorcist code of honor, and the only way i can honor my king is to face him and give him my all. However, if you lack said honor in combat and look to either banish the King again, we -will- have a problem.” Hars yet honest words were spoken. The exorcist locked eyes with his partner and awaited his response.
