He watched the newly christened Bec Noir fly off, the green fires illuminating his now streamlined features. Davesprite swoops down, to his Bros dying body.
Damn it. How could he? How could he just fly off, leave Bro to that
that monster?
But no matter how much he beat himself up, he knows that he had to. From the moment he came to the planet, wings and sword still hot from the Land of Heat and Clockwork, he could see it in Bros eyes. This was a fight they couldnt win. They both knew that Jade was going to prototype her devil-beast in the middle of the fight, power up Noir to a god-like level. They knew that this fight meant nothing.
Basically, he bitterly thought as he took off his shades to look Bro in the eyes, the fight ruse
was a distraction.
Dave. You know what you gotta do. Davesprite tries not to cry as he scoops up his brother/father in his wings.
You did good. Both of ya.
And with that, he collapsed in Davesprites wings. At that moment, all the tears hed held in: all the tears from Johns death, from Jades inevitable demise and her last message, from Terezi never contacting him again, from leaving Rose to hell-knows-where, from seeing his best bro alive again, from everything, spilled. He sat there as the oil around him burned bright green, weeping for all the times he should have, but didnt. But finally, he stands up, picks up Bros body, and flings him over his back. It was going to be a long flight.
Finally, he gets there. The ash (Or is it snow, he idly thought) blinded him almost as soon as he entered the planets atmosphere. However, it doesnt take much searching to find Jades ridiculously large house. Egbert had barely started building, and already the first gate was just a stones throw up. And just as he thought of John, Davesprites iShades lit up with blue text, which he promptly closed out of. He had a mission. Finding Jade in the mansion was only a little harder, and he found her sitting with a huge pile of random stuff and Becsprite next to her. The dog/sprite noticed him first, and started barking instantly, dog instincts taking over. Davesprite tried not to think of Noirs new face as he saw the sprite, and turned to Jade, whose face had also lifted to face him.
Dave! she shouted, excitement apparent in her voice, Wait, youre Davesprite, arent you?
Heh, sorry Jade, but if you want your real, non-feathered boyfriend, youll have to wait a little longer.
Hes not my- she stopped speaking when she noticed the body. Oh
oh God. That cant be your Bro, can it? She was starting to panic already. He decided hed have to be blunt with her for a while, take a page out of Johns book.
Yeah, it is. And this is the reason I came here to the land of-
No, dont tell me yet! I want to hear it from Bec! But he cant talk yet because I need to prototype with something but he wont do it with anything here and I think he wants something dead and- The realization dawns on her face.
Oh.
And so, without a word, he walks over to the dog and puts the body in the sprite.
When he opens his eyes, even his shades not being enough to stop the blinding light, he feels as if he may start the waterworks again. And Jade, being Jade, was starting to panic. The new sprite looked at them through amazingly cool shades and spoke.
Hey Dave. Hey Jade.
