62 Limbo
When Gabriel opened his eyes, and the first thing he found was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds floating around, when he looked down, he noticed that he was in his true form and was over a wooden boat.
He tried to use his Nen, but it was impossible to do so, after that, he looked in the water, attracted from strange moans, and found… Souls?
Gabriel: What the? Am I dead? ...Nah. I think I have an idea...
Right at this moment, there was a white flash beside him, and he turned around, finding someone unexpected…
The boy supported himself and looked around, not noticing Gabriel.
?: ...What? Where am I?
Gabriel: Yo, Marco!
The person called Marco, his old friend, twitched and turned around, before he took a odd expression.
Gabriel: What? You forgot about me?
Marco: ...Gabriel?
Gabriel smirked and told Marco.
Gabriel: The only one.
Marco immediately lost his cool and stuttered in surprise.
Marco: W-What? How? Where the fuck are we?!
Gabriel: Oh, we are in limbo, between life and death, what happened for you to come here?
Marco: ...Sex.
Gabriel smirked and asked with a funny voice.
Gabriel: Hoho, tell me about it!
Marco just answered with 3 words…
Marco: Monster Girl Quest.
Gabriel: ...Ohhhhhh… Oh. Well…
He honestly didn't know what to tell to Marco, having an idea about what happened, it may be "A certain Lamia's" fault…
Suddenly, Marco pointed at something and said with a curious voice.
Marco: Hey, what's that?
Gabriel curiously turned around to see what it was… There was nothing.
Gabriel: Wha-
Right in that moment, Gabriel felt a kick in the ass that was strong enough to unbalance him and making him fall in the water.
Gabriel: Son of a bi-
Marco immediately interrupted him with a pissed off tone.
Marco: You little shit! The next time you go in another world, take me and Billy with you!
The moment Gabriel felt that he was wet, everything turned into a blur, and he started to hear some voices…
?: See? I told you a bucket of cold water will help him.
??: But sis! He was still sleeping! You can't be that rude!
?: Sleeping my rotten ass! He was clearly joining our ranks in the world of the dead!
Gabriel's vision turned into another one, and he could slightly see Lingling with a bucket and Fangfang talking to each other.
Gabriel: ...What?
Fangfang: Gabriel, is that you?
Gabriel: I just saw the Limbo and the first thing you two do is throwing cold water on my face…?
Lingling: ...It's him…
Fangfang tackled Gabriel and cried on his chest while Gabriel held his arms over and repeatedly said.
Gabriel: No homo! No homo!
Lingling was just giggling at the side of the bed where Gabriel stood, meanwhile, the latter noticed that his left arm wasn't there, so he used his shapeshifting abilities and healing to recreate a new one.
Gabriel: Alright, now where the fuck are Moka and Touhou?
Lingling: Touhou is in another room to recover while Moka…
…
Gabriel: Hey, Moka what?
Lingling: ...She was kidnapped.
Gabriel froze on his spot and looked at Lingling face, then he used his right arm to move away Fangfang and got out from the bed.
Lingling: Be careful, you just-
A dark purple aura came out from Gabriel's body, interrupting her sentence.
Gabriel: Where is she?
Lingling: ...At the Fairy Tale's HQ probably…
Gabriel closed his eyes and took deep breaths to calm himself down, he knew what they wanted to do, which was unsealing Alucard, so they need her alive, and from what the memories of Meruem said, the black girl that kidnapped her had some sort of relationship with her.
Gabriel: Where are they?
Lingling: We just found their location, but we will go only when Touhou will be healthy, I am sure he will follow you.
Gabriel: And when will it happen?
Lingling: I would give him 1 week, you gave him some pretty hard attacks…
Gabriel: …*Sigh* Alright, I will go familiarize myself with my body again…
Fangfang: Then you can follow me, I will take you back at the other dimension.
Lingling nodded and Gabriel walked away, following Fangfang to the dimension that he almost destroyed while he was in berserk.
Fangfang stood at the side, watching Gabriel, the only moment he saw Gabriel showing any sign of using his real power was when it almost made him piss off, so he was distracted a bit.
Gabriel looked towards a building in front of him, then at his arm…
Gabriel: It should work like this…
He swung his arm, and the entire building fell down, leaving a perfect cut on the base of the building, at his side Fangfang was shocked, he knew that it was Meruem the one who learned it, not Gabriel, so he had some doubts when he saw Gabriel trying the same thing.
Gabriel, with a satisfied smile, looked at his hand.
Gabriel: So it still works… 'Now… If the girl did "That", then I should be able to do it too…'
He jumped over another building before he used the same technique on his entire body, successfully reaching the other side of the wall without causing any damage, he stopped using that technique before he would fall from the floor by passing through it.
Now he was even stronger than before since he had a better control on his Nen, and had new techniques, if coupled with his battle form and shapeshifting… He might be invincible…
He used In and sneaked out from the building without being detected from anyone, this time the strain on his mind was exponentially lessened, and he appeared behind Fangfang, before scaring the shit out of him by patting his shoulder.
Fangfang: Hyaaaaa!!
Gabriel: Pfft… Heh… Well, it seems everything is alright, I will wait for Touhou to recover then I will go alone.
Fangfang: Wait what? I can't come with you?
Gabriel: Sorry bud, you would just slow me down, even if you were Touhou, I would have asked you to stay somewhere where you wouldn't be an obstacle, so don't take it on heart, you are strong, just not enough…
Fangfang was shocked, and then he lowered his head, before tightening his fists, not wishing to be a burden.
Fangfang: ...And when will it be enough…?
Gabriel: When you are as strong as me.
Fangfang, from a sad mood, he turned into a surprised one and then he looked blankly at Gabriel.
Fangfang: And how do you expect I will do it!?
