Chapter 18: Minor Timeskip

6 months later...

During their stay in the Nikos Household Sapphire managed to improve himself to be able to compete with Summer in long range battles, one week in the training he had the idea to merge two duplicates of his newly made revolver. He used the revolver from Destiny 2 called Ace of Spades as reference, he made two newly duplicated revolvers merge with each other and the results were spectacular.

First off the power of the dust bullets shot out from the revolver was doubled making it a deadly weapon if shot point blank, second the speed of the bullet was alarming he couldn't even catch a glimpse of it fly in the air. He wondered if this would also work on his copies. He spent two months trying to merge two copies of his until finally he did it.

The first merged copy was between Liye and Fou, the wierd thing is that when they merged they became older and his copy's cloak turned grey. The merged copy's hair was blue and his weapons is four times stronger than Sapphire's, The merged copy wanted to be addressed as Fyou until they disappear.

He asked them why they were successful in the merge and all Fyou said was that Fou and Liye didn't have any problem with merging with each other. Keeping that in mind he let them wait on the sidelines as he continued experimenting.

four months after that Sapphire who was weaing a purple jacket and purple headphones and a hovering Violet beside him was seen walking around lower Mistral with his mother Summer who dressed in a Mistral style yukata with him, they went out to bond with each other as Sapphire was always busy with training.

They were enjoying themselves with the scenary of Mistral taking pictures along the way, they stood infront of a waterfall as Summer took her scroll and took a picture. Satisfied with the amount of pictures she took she put it away.

"That was relaxing" Summer laid down on a bench that faced the waterfall, Sapphire sat next to her and laid down on her lap, "Yup this is the most relaxed I have ever been since we came here mom" He yawned and rubbed his eyes, Summer saw this and caressed his head gently, "Tired?" She chuckled as Sapphire pouted

"It's natural, we walked around for six hours" Sapphire yawned again as he closed his eyes, Summer didn't move and let her son sleep. She then hummed a tune fastening Sapphire's sleepyness, She stayed silent for a moment before saying, "It's good to see you again Raven"

Behind her a woman with long black hair and her cold glaring scarlet eyes appeared, "Hello Summer, I did not think that you would still be able to sense me considering how weakened you are now" Summer's face stayed neutral, "So what brings you here Raven?" She asked

Raven crossed her arms and harrumped, "I'm here for Sapphire, I'm taking him to the tribe" She said, the air suddenly stilled as the temperature dropped a few degrees. Sapphire was about to wake up but Summer used her aura to protect him from the cold.

She looked at Raven with a narrowed gaze but still smiled, Raven stood there unshaken, "And do you think I will let you?" On her hand her weapon was in it's sword form, she got up and carefully placed Sapphire's headphones over his ears.

"Ofcourse not I'll just have to beat you and no one will stop me" Raven grinned, she unsheated her weapon aswell as they stare at each other. Summer smiled, "Try me" she said, It was good that the place they chose was isolated and had no people passing by to witness their clash.

Summer speeds towards Raven as white petals appear in the air signifying that her semblance was activated, Raven changed her dust to white as a gust of wind burst from her sword. She swung her sword to Summer's torso but was blocked by Summer's sword.

They both skid away as they stared at each other with hardened gazes, Raven used her semblance creating a portal beneath her. A portal opens directly on top of Summer as she attacked at lightning speed. Summer saw this and blocked every single attack before kicking Raven away.

Both disappear from their locations as sparks fly out in the air, Summer used her semblance and spun making a tornado appear, Raven jumped back as the dust chamber on her sword goes to the green dust. She slammed her sword to the ground and clicked the trigger.

Vines then grow from the ground and speedily surrounded Summer, seeing this Summer also pulled her trigger as her sword let out electric sparks and cleaved the vines. Summer jumps back and looks at Raven, She then pumps her Aura to her feet aswell as activated her semblance as she rushes to Raven with blinding speed.

Raven was about to defend but then she noticed that her blade was wrapped with vines, Summer then appeared before her and pointed her sword to Raven's neck and kicked her weapon away. Summer used green dust again as more vines grow and binded Raven. With a sword on her neck, no weapon , and restricted Raven sighed and looked at the grinning Summer.

"I win" She said, as she untangled Raven. Upon release Raven sat down on the ground and frowned, "That was your 437 loss Raven" Summer said Raven nodded and clicked her tongue, "Anyways it's good to see you Raven, I missed you" Summer hugged her friend, Raven pat her back awkwardly.

"So let me ask why did you want to take my son to your tribe?" Summer asked as Raven crossed her arms, "If I had not said that you wouldn't even bothered to fight me" She said, Raven then told Summer that she had been observing Sapphire when he was alone and told her about the experiments he does with his semblance.

Raven got up and got her sword, she opened a portal and went in. Before the portal closed she heard Raven say, "Next time I will win" her voice was determined, Summer chuckled the stubborn Raven that she knows never change.
