Chapter 3: First Sight

(A/N: Hey guyz~! So the highest voted so far was this story. It may change but I plan on updating this, Insanity, and later on make the One Piece Fanfic, even though nobody voted for it. I don't care if you hate OP! I love it! I've actually been addicted to it lately. I've been watching it more often and have gotten more ideas for that story than for any of the one's already made... My excuse for not updating? I know I said it was writers block, which it was, but this was caused by one thing. Too much One Piece. I'm watching One Piece more than DGM so I'm loosing ideas for these... Anyways... Let's hope I didn't loose all my ideas. On to the crap!)

He ran. As fast and as far as he could. Well... Could have. At some point he had stepped in something. Every step he made had caused a squishing sound. Dante stopped and looked at the bottom of his foot.

Burnt skin. It wasn't his though. He looked back where he had been running and saw the town. No wounder he didn't know where he was mere moments ago. The entire town had been completely burnt down. All that was left was the remains of the stone houses and the ash, burnt bones, and scorched flesh of the people once living there.

Dante had covered his mouth, believing he would be sick. He hadn't done this! He hated the sight of blood! He would never kill anyone! Especially the people of this once village.

'How could someone do this..? Why would they? Who did this!?' Dante thought to himself, choosing not to speak in fear of loosing whatever he had eaten yesterday.

"This is what happens when you learn of something you should never know Dante." a voice said from behind said boy.

Dante turned around in fear. His eyes widened when he saw the Earl.

The Earl chuckled, "Your eyes say it all my boy. 'Did you do this?' is what you want to ask me, correct?"

Dante nodded slowly, his hand slowly lowering as well.

"I did. I did all of this. You wouldn't believe how well Dark Matter can act as if it's a flame. In fact, it was easier than I had expected." The Earl stated.

"W-why..?" Dante tried to ask, keeping his eyes off the blood at his feet and ignoring the smell of decay.

"Why did I kill them? Like I said. You overheard my plan. I knew you would go around telling the others of my plan so all I had to do was make it so you couldn't be trusted. Easy as that." The Earl explained.

Dante was shocked to say the least. All this happened because he overheard something? He had been hoping he had heard the plan incorrectly. He had wanted to ask the Earl last night but couldn't. He was too scared. He didn't even have the will to tell the others without asking the Earl first.

Dante fell to his knees and punched the ground, completely forgetting the blood and the smell around him. "Damn it... Damn it..! Damn it!" Dante shouted with his head down and hair covering his eyes.

"Hmm?" The Earl sounded.

Dante looked up at the Earl furiously, "I wasn't going to tell! And why did you involve this village!? They had nothing to do with it! Hell you didn't have to do anything! Even if I did tell, nobody would have believed me! They would have thought it was just a bad dream!"

"Oh really? Well it's too late now. Nobody will believe you ever again." The Earl says.

While Dante was arguing with the Earl, a black hole, with a glowing red outline, had formed behind Dante. Slowly a corpse, that was barely held together, had stood and slowly walked towards the hole. A shot of fire came out of the hole and launched into the corpses chest. Within seconds the corpse was on fire.

The Earl laughed. "See! You aren't helping your case! How that body rose, I don't know, but you just caught it on fire! You truly are a pyromaniac willing to burn anything and everything!"

"I wouldn't say that." Dante said calmly as he stood up again, almost as if someone had been pulling him up.

"You wouldn't? Then what would you call that?" The Earl questioned as he pointed at the burning corpse, which had yet to fall.

"I call it control. Infernus Eques." Dante called before what looked like magma had risen out of the hole and plastered itself onto the fire bound carcass then shaping into something akin to armor.

"Oh~ Shiny~" the Earl said almost mischeviously.

"You haven't seen anything yet." Dante said before holding out his hand towards a pile of bones.

The bones had launched towards him and into his hand. He held the bones in both hands before slowly closing his hands and forcing the bones the decrease in size due to the heat. A few moments after his hands had closed completely, he reopened them only to show what looked like the hilt of a sword with a chain connecting the end of the hilt to a shruken skull.

"And what do you intend to do with that? Poke me?" The Earl questioned with a hint of annoyance.

"Not me. Him." Dante said before throwing the hilt to the armored corpse.

"Are you making fun of me!? It's a corpse! It can't move! Do you really expect me to lose to something like that!?" The Earl shouted angrily.

"Yes. I do." Dante said as he slowly stood. "Blaze."

Dante's voice seemed to echo throughout the demolished village shortly followed by the roar of a raging fire coming from the corpse. The Earl looked at the armored corpse again.

The armor had cooled down and was now pitch black. A flame had started at the hilt and had launched in two directions. The flame had wrapped around the corpses right arm going up to its shoulder, in one direction, and had created a blade, in the other. If there was metal in the blade then it was impossible to see. The blade looked to be made of pure fire.

"Laminas Inferno." Dante said causing the corpse to stand in a fighting stance.

The Earl watched it. He was amazed, although he would never admit it. This new Noah hated the sight of blood, had never been in a fight, and didn't even know what his powers would be, had just created a weapon that would later on become legend.

(A/N: And that's it. So you know what I said about updating Insanity and making that other story? Yeah... Not happening today. Honestly it was hard to focus on this. Not even half way through I started thinking about how I wanted Jack and his twin to end up. And just so you have an idea of how far that is, Dante is the first while Jack and Sian are the eleventh and twelfth. So yeah... ADD. Again. Anyways I ended up using Latin again, I love that language. Infernus Eques means Hell Knight and Laminas Inferno means Inferno Blade. Sounds cooler in Latin doesn't it? Anyways Keep reading, reviewing, favoriting, and following. Bai~! c(X )
