Third Person POV

Previously on Highschool Singular Point.

She called him a monster? the incarnate of despair and hopelessness, if she wanted one then...

She'll get one!

Now...

...

...

Issei's eyes opened as he found himself in some sort of void, an infinite black abyss of nothingness.

No sight or any light or life for miles and miles, Issei couldn't believe it. He was back in his hell, he was back in the place he hated the most.

Issei: "Fuck...I'm back here..."

The black-haired boy looked at himself as he saw that he was back in his regular form and his clothes weren't ripped.

Seems like whenever he comes to this place it fixes him up while also reducing him back to his normal form. This is strange and annoying, cause what happens if he returns to the fight and is in his regular form?

The fight! Issei remembered being frozen by Tiamat's ice powers, he remembered her calling him weak.

A low growl escaped the black-haired boy's throat as his eyes were filled with hatred.

Issei: "I'm gonna make her eat those words..."

???: "And how do you except to do that?"

Hearing a voice surprised Issei, the black-haired boy didn't think that anyone else would be in a place like this.

Issei turned to the voice, to see who it was. but when he did his eyes widen in shock at what he saw.

Issei: "h-how is this possible!?"

A chuckle was heard from the voice.

???: "Cause it is Singular Point, or shall I call you by our real name?"

Issei?: "Issei Hyoudou..."

Issei couldn't believe his eyes, the owner of the voice was... himself. But this one looked like his old self, back when he was a perverted nobody.

Issei: "H-how is this possible!? How are you me when I am me?"

The other Issei chuckled.

Other Issei: "It's cause I am you, I'm your other half. The part that you have been missing ever since the day we were stabbed by Yuuma's light spear"

Issei: "My other half?"

The other Issei nodded his head as he began to look the black-haired boy up and down, taking in all the differences between them both.

Other Issei: "Wow, you certainly look way better than me. I wonder if you have a harem yet? I hope they had big boobs~"

Issei couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at his other self's action, did the black-haired boy really use to think like that when he was a pervert? no wonder he never got any girlfriends back then.

Well, he technically still doesn't have any. But that is only causes Issei doesn't care about getting one anymore.

Why would he? If he didn't get any back then he will certainly not get any now, but then again there was that note he found...

The black-haired boy sighed and shook his head, getting the thoughts of that note out of his mind.

He then looked at the other Issei who still had a perverted expression slapped on his face.

Issei: "So, why are you here? How did you get into my hell?"

The brown-haired boy snapped out of whatever he was doing and went back to normal, he then looked at Issei and raised an eyebrow.

Other Issei: "Hell? What are you talking about?"

Issei: "This is my hell, I have suffered endless pain and torture for so many years. All my cries, all my begs for it to stop were just echoes that joined this endless abyss!"

The other Issei simply looked at the black-haired boy before starting to laugh like he heard a really good joke, this angered Issei that the brown-haired boy was laughing at his pain.

Issei: "You dare laugh at my suffering!"

The other Issei soon stopped laughing and looked at Issei.

Other Issei: "oh no, I'm not laughing at your suffering. I'm laughing at the fact that you think that this place is some sort of personal hell for you. It isn't"

This got Issei's attention as he raised an eyebrow in confusion, what was he talking about? how is this not a hell?

It has to be one, all the pain...all the suffering he went through...all the times his body felt like it was being torn apart and put back together only to be torn apart again...

The times he cried for help as he was being burned alive or being slashed into millions of pieces.

The Black-haired boy glared at the brown-haired boy.

Issei: "how is this not a hell!? Do you not understand the pain I went through!?"

The Other Issei raised his hands in defense.

Other Issei: "hey, hey. Calm down! I understand what you went through and I'm sorry, but what I'm trying to say is this isn't hell. This is actually your mindscape"

This caused Issi to calm down as he raised an eyebrow. Mindscape? what the hell is that?

Issei: "Mindscape? what do you mean?"

Other Issei: "You see, a mindscape is basically a place within your mind where we can talk to each other"

Issei: "so, you're saying that this place is really within my mind?"

The other Issei nodded his head.

Other Issei: "yes, and all the pain and suffering you went through was only within your mind while your body changed"

Issei went silent as he looked at his hands, they shook slightly as he began to think. All the pain he went through, all the suffering he had to endure was simply within his mind.

Issei: "All I went through...was just within my mind?"

The other Issei nodded his head.

Other Issei: "Yes, I'm not sure why you had to endure it within here cause the change is not that painful. But I'm sure you would have felt really tired"

Issei still couldn't believe what he was hearing, he was never in some sort of hell. All this time he was just in his mindscape being tortured when he was never meant to be tortured.

The black-haired boy felt so furious, but he soon let out a sigh and calmed down.

Issei: "So, why are you here? Cause there's no way you are here just to tell me that"

The other Issei smiled at the black-haired boy.

Other Issei: "Your right, I'm here to help you with your little or shall I say big dragon problem"

That's right, Issei was currently frozen solid thanks to Tiamat's power. He had her on the run and thought he defeated her, but turns out that wasn't the case.

Apparently, she had some other form and it was more powerful than her regular form. She easily took him down, Issei didn't have a chance to do anything to her.

Issei: "I don't get it, I had to go through so much to be powerful. I am supposed to be something that everything fears...But why am I so weak?"

Other Issei: "it's cause you are incomplete"

This got the black-haired boys' attention.

Issei: "I'm incomplete? What do you mean? How am I incomplete?"

The other Issei chuckled as he crossed his arms.

Other Issei: "it's cause you and I have not merged to become one yet"

This surprised the black-haired boy.

Issei: "You and I have to merge?"

The brown-haired boy nodded his head.

Issei: "Then, let's do it. Let us merge and become one!"

Other Issei: "No..."

This shocked the black-haired boy that his other self refused to merge with him. Why? why would he refuse?

Issei: "Why? Why refuse?"

The other Issei closed his eyes as he snapped his fingers, when he did the love letter that Issei found in his locket appeared.

Issei: "That letter..."

Other Issei: "yeah, this is why I won't merge with you"

This confused the black-haired boy even more. Why cause of that love letter?

Issei: "Why?"

Other Issei: "When you got this letter, you simply brushed it off like it was a piece of trash. Do you have any idea how the girl who made this letter feels now?"

Issei: "No, cause why would I care?"

This made the brown-haired boy sigh in annoyance.

Other Issei: "I may have been a pervert, but at least I knew the feelings of a girl...in a way"

The black-haired boy then pieced it together and realized what his other half was talking about. This both shocked and angered him that his other half would think such a thing.

Issei: "Are you saying that I should accept the feelings of the girl who wrote that letter!? out of the question! I am a singular Point! I don't have time for that shit!"

The other Issei sighed.

Other Issei: "Then you will never become what you are always meant to be"

Those words, those words right there stabbed into Issei like daggers. Those words echoed throughout the black-haired boy's mind as he went silent.

Accept the feelings of the one who made the love letter? he doesn't even know why wrote it? how is he supposed to accept the girl's feelings if he doesn't even know who the girl is?

For all, he knows the girl could be just a random girl that he doesn't even know.

Issei: "Well even if I did agree, I don't even know who the girl is. So how am I supposed to accept their feelings if I don't know who they are"

The other Issei chuckled at the black-haired boy, he then showed him the letter.

'Dear Hyoudou.

I know you and I don't really see eye to eye most of the time, especially back when you were a pervert...

But, I just want to say that I love You.

You may not feel the same, but that's alright. I don't blame you.

From Someone, you know.'

Other Issei: "See anything?"

Issei deadpanned at the brown-haired boy.

Issei: "No, no I don't"

The other Issei smirked as he snapped his fingers and showed the Black-haired boy something that was in the corner of the letter. It was writing, tiny writing that made it hard to make out what it was saying.

Issei: "Tiny writing..."

Other Issei: "yep, and if I make it clearer for you"

The brown-haired boy snapped his fingers as the words became clearer, Issei then saw what it said and he was shocked.

'Love from Aika'

Issei: "Aika..."

Aika, Issei's classmate. well known to be a female pervert who can easily tell the time of a male's dick just by looking at their crotch.

The black-haired boy remembers calling her cute which shocked his classmates, but he only said that as a complement to her.

Did she have feelings for him before he changed? or did she just recently start making feelings for him?

The other Issei nodded his head.

Other Issei: "yes, she cares about you but she is just too scared to tell you. She thinks that you won't accept her feelings cause she thinks you hate her"

Issei: "I don't hate her..."

Other Issei: "If you don't hate her, then will you accept her feelings?"

Silence was the only answer the other Issei got as the black-haired boy simply looked down, not sure how to answer the brown-haired boy's question.

Should he accept Aika's feelings? no! He has no time for love, he has to complete the ritual that's all that matters.

But if he doesn't then he won't be whole, Tiamat may kill him and everything he has been through will be for nothing.

The black-haired boy was torn from his decision, should he? should he not? he doesn't know, he just doesn't know.

Suddenly, Issei realized something. He had all the time to complete the ritual, he didn't have to complete it right away.

Plus what's the worse thing that could happen by accepting Aika's feelings? Like its not like he's eventually gonna break down upset cause of her death or something.

Issei looked up at the brown-haired boy in front of him. The other Issei noticed that the black-haired boy had a face of determination.

Issei: "I accept her feelings"

The brown-haired boy smiled at his counterpart.

Other Issei: "About time"

The black-haired boy couldn't help but smile at his counterpart.

Issei: "Thanks...for everything"

Other Issei: "No worries, now let's beat this dragon!"

The Other Issei began to turn transparent as he walked towards Issei, the black-haired boy watched as the other Issei merged with him.

A small smirk grew on Issei's face.

Issei: "Now...We are one"

From within the ice, Issei's eye shot open as his pupil became slit. Slowly a blue glow began to appear from within the ice.

This got Tiamat's attention as she turned and looked at the ice.

Tiamat: "What the?"

Slowly, cracks began to appear in the ice as Tiamat watched with a surprised expression.

Tiamat: "It's not possible..."

Suddenly, The ice shattered as Issei rose from the ice and let out a loud roar. This roar was much louder than his previous roar, it was so powerful that it nearlt knocked Tiamat off her feet.

Issei: "SKREEEEEEEOOONCKKK!!!!"

Tiamat: 'what is this? Just a few minutes ago he was defeated and now he's back. Did his power increase or something? It's rising and rising!?'

The Primordial mother then notice something, his appearance changed a little. His tail grew longer, the spikes on his back looked different as well and his hair...it was now white as snow.

When Issei stopped roaring Tiamat noticed something else, the rage in his eyes. It was like a raging inferno that will never rest.

Tiamat remained on guard, she didn't know what he was gonna do so she prepared herself.

Issei stared at the Primordial mother as a toothy grin formed on his face.

Issei: "It's time to end this, with one single attack!"

Tiamat: 'a single attack? is he crazy?'

The primordial mother soon narrowed her eyes, if he was gonna attack then so shall she.

Tiamat slowly began to create an attack within her mouth, Issei did the same but this time his back spikes were glowing a different color.

This time they were glowing crimson red instead of bright blue.

However, Tiamat didn't notice this and she took too long for her attack cause the white-haired boy unleashed his attack which was a beam attack similar to his previous ones but this one was crimson red in color.

The attack nailed Tiamat in the chest, sending the primordial mother flying back making her stop her build-up.

Tiamat: "ARGH!"

Tiamat then crashed into the ground as Issei continued to unleash his attack upon the Primordial mother. Tiamat roared n pain and agony, but Issei soon stopped causing the glow to fade.

Tiamat groaned in pain as she looked at the white-haired boy.

Tiamat: "W-why did you stop?"

Issei: "Your defeated, there's no reason to kill you..."

The primordial mother slowly tried to get up, this was only a setback. She still had to defeat him and prevent any more deaths.

Issei: "Don't bother getting back up, this battle is done"

Tiamat gritted her teeth.

Tiamat: "No, I won't let you kill any more innocent lives. There will be no more bloodshed!"

The white-haired boy simply chuckled.

Issei: "Then you better be ready to face me the...fera Do Apocalipse in my ultima forma~"

After hearing those words, Tiamat's eyes widen as she stared at the white-haired boy with fear in her eyes.

Issei simply smirked as he began to walk away, he didn't know how to get back home but he was sure gonna find a way.

After all, he had something to do, he had a certain someone to go see. And he will be dammed if something prevents him from seeing this person.
