Legend of the Immortal

Confrontation

"Hello! We're showing our new project called the Virtual Reality Training Headset! VRTHS for short! Are you interested?" Sam greeted.

"What does it do?"

"Well, it's designed for both professional training and for children too! Basically, it's a device that allows for a sort of controlled lucid dreaming. This will allow for one to train in their head, making it much easier to replicate inn real life after training within. Furthermore, it can also be used to let children play around with dangerous spells without the worry that they'll accidentally destroy something or hurt themselves."

"Is this just a prototype?"

"Ah, yeah. We're just showing our project and what we can do with whatever limited funding we have. The actual prototype still has a few flaws which will require a certain level f funding but if all goes well, the program should work even more smoothly. Truth is, the prototype is something our colleague there-" Sam pointed to Tina"Built. Since Belle Trinity had stated trending, she's been a loyal fan. And after seeing such fantastical powers Belle displayed, she recreated the powers and programmed this so that one could experience a small fraction of what her idol can do." Sam laughed.

"Does she...Really like her that much?" Belle inquired.

Sam nodded,"She's absolutely nuts about Belle. I think she's secretly hoping that by some miracle that Belle would somehow endorse her product. But it's just wishful thinking, isn't it? Ah, sorry, that got a little personal." Sam apologised.

"It's okay. This seems like a nice product." Belle nodded and without thinking, Belle midlessly asked,"Do you have a pen and paper?"

Sam nodded,"Yeah but..."

"Do you think you could pass along a note to her?" Belle asked.

Sam nodded,"Well sure." He passed Belle the pen and paper.

Belle wrote something down that Sam couldn't see and folded it in half before passing it to Sam,"Thanks."

By now, the other viewers had left,"Yo Tintin!"

"What is it?" Tina hollered.

"Someone wanted wanted me to pass along a note to you." Sam passed it to Tina as Jared walked by to see.

"What's it?" Jared casually asked.

Tina opened the note expecting it to be a prank of some kind,"It's proba-" She froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"Sam..."

"HM? Something wrong?"

"Where's that person that wrote this note?" Tina asked.

Sam pointed to Belle in her hoodie,"That girl there, in the hoodie. Now that I think about it, that hoodie seems familiar.

Tina's breathing got heavier, like she was hyperventilating.

"OH MY GOD SAM." Tina shouted, her voice rising octaves.

Jared stared at the hoodie until it clicked in his mind.

The prominent 'B' with wings on both sides was a custom made hoodie.

It was trademarked and couldn't be replicated.

"Holy fuck..." Jared breathed.

"What? What is it?" Sam asked, feeling like he was being left out.

"THAT'S!...THAT'S BELLE TRINITY!" Tina almost fainted from shock, her own idol had viewed her product that had been based on her, Tina felt extremely embarrassed.

"No way..." Sam's jaw dropped.

"YES WAY!" Tina shouted

"Quick! What did she say on the note?" Jared yelled.

Tina huffed proudly, grinning with joy,"See for yourselves!'

They looked at the note.

On it was a signature and with three words at the bottom which held significant meaning.

It read:

I'll endorse you.

And below the words was a phone number.

"Is this real life?" Tina's eyes fluttered.

"Call the principal and alert the teachers. We have a fucking celebrity walking and no one's accounting for her!" Jared yelled.

—————

That was a rash move.

"..."

Ignoring me are you?

Well I can't say that I'm happy about it bu-

Belle stopped in her tracks,"What happened?"

He's back.

Good lord he's brought ten people and he actually thinks he can kidnap us again.

"N?..." Belle asked.

I'll deal with it.

Your identity will be blown though.

"Just...Don't kill anyone."

Belle heard a sigh, she could almost picture her other half rolling her eyes.

I'll try.

Belle's head dropped a bit before it went back,"I want to sleep and idiots come and disturb me."

BOOM!

Cries of alarm rang out as people were pushed away, leaving eleven people surrounding a single person.

"Belle, you've changed." Nicholas laughed,"For the better it seems. You're not as weak as before. I can tell."

The crowd shouted as teachers and officers rushed to the scene,"Fighting is prohibited on campus grounds!" An officer yelled.

Nicholas put on a mask, the exact one he wore and people gasped.

This person was immediately recognised.

N.

The former friend of Belle Trinity and the person responsible of sending over ten innocent victims to their death.

Nicholas' minions took out their weapons, ready to pounce.

"Tsk." Belle cracked her neck her head turning sideways to show an annoyed face,"I'm giving you a chance to go away. If not...Don't regret it when you inevitably lose."

Nicholas laughed,"Such foolish arrogance."

Belle glanced sideways at Nicholas dismissively, staring up at the sun,"It's high noon. Birds are singing, flowers are blooming. On days like these, idiots like you, should be sixty foot under."

BOOM!

Opaque walls covered them, encasing the twelve inside.

"A death match is it?" Nicholas chuckled.

"I'll make it more interesting." Belle disappeared from sight as deadly bolts of Ethos exploded from the walls.

Two of Nicholas' men instantly died.

The rest wavering slightly.

"Since you've decided to make it your last performance, I've decided to toy with you a little bit. Give a little hope." Belle smirked.

Nicholas' eyes went bloodshot,"YOU...ARROGANT FOOL. TO THINK YOU DARE TO KILL THEM."

Belle's clothes were replaced with a white dress,"I'll dress exactly as when you kidnapped me. Think of the headlines. N loses to own victim, superstar Belle Trinity, proof that N is nothing but a useless con that got lucky."

The taunt only pushed Nicholas even more towards the edge,"YOU BITCH!"

"I'll be sure to treat you real good. Ethos. Just revenge."

Within the opaque walls, beams coloured a bright gold shot out, rotating as heat radiated off them.

Smaller bolts shot from the walls, bouncing off the walls.
