Third Person POV

Ddraig: ['Partner, can I ask you something...']

Issei: 'Yeah, what's up, Ddraig?'

Ddraig: ['Why are we fighting yourself again?']

At the moment, Issei was standing in the backyard of his house. After seeing the note his parents had left for him, Issei decided that he should take the time and do a little bit of training since he's got nothing else to do. Plus, if Vergil was with him then he was sure that the eldest Sparda would've forcibly drag the brown-haired boy outside and make him do like a million sword swings in one hour.

However, Issei didn't want to just stand in one spot and swing his blade, so he came up with a brilliant idea after remembering one of Dante's old styles: Doppelganger. The name of the style was enough to already know what it did, makes an exact copy of the user with their combat abilities and techniques.

Issei does know that Vergil also has a doppelganger ability, unfortunately he hasn't been able to use it. Issei's guess is because every time he used it himself, it always took on the form of his Sin Devil Trigger and Issei doesn't have access to that yet. Although, the two did mention to Issei that he will eventually unlock them, though it will be when he unlocks his full potential.

Until that happens, Issei has to stick with using Dante's doppelganger which he doesn't mind because he was already starting to feel like a damn anime protagonist.

Issei: 'Cause just standing in one spot, swinging either Yamato or Rebellion would be stupid. Plus, I'm home alone. This is the perfect time.'

Ddraig grunted.

Ddraig: ['I guess you make a good point, though your neighbors may be confused on why there's two of you']

Issei couldn't help but chuckle a little, Ddraig did have a point there but he was sure that he'll be done with training before the neighbors even spot him.

With that, Issei held out his hand and summoned the Yamato as he looked in front of him and saw that his doppelganger was already in a battle stance, Rebellion in one of its hands.

A small smile grew on Issei's face.

Issei: "This is gonna be fun..."

Ddraig: ['This training is gonna tear up the backyard, isn't it?']

Issei smirked as his eyes glowed blue and red.

Issei: "You got that right"

Unsheathing the katana from its scabbard, both Issei and the doppelganger immediately charged towards one another with impressive speed, their blades clashing against one another as their fight had officially begun

Unsheathing the katana from its scabbard, both Issei and the doppelganger immediately charged towards one another with impressive speed, their blades clashing against one another as their fight had officially begun.

The sound of steel clashing against one another echoed throughout the air, sparks flying off each time the swords made contact with each other. Issei went to slash the doppelganger's legs, but it jumped up and proceeded to kick the brown-haired boy away.
