(Y/n)'s point of view.

September 17, 20XX

Location: Second section of Dionix's underwater base.

Time: Ten o'clock P.M.

After leaving Gold Third to Mira, to which I thanked for bringing me into this dimension, my team continued to push through Dionix's base. With me right now was the CPU Candidates, Adult Neptune, Uzume, IF and Compa as we kept going. I feel bad for leaving Gold Third to handle Mira, knowing they're going to need to rush to catch back up to us. But it was necessary for us to keep moving forward. With Mira being handled by Gold Third, they are allowing us to keep moving forward to save Neptune, Noire, Blanc and Vert. Up ahead, we begin to see regular monsters wondering around. Some consisted of some Bits, Guard Armors, Jungle Cuts and more.

(Y/n): The enemy isn't taking it easy on us huh?

Uzume: Considering we are in the second portion of the base, of course they won't be taking it easy. Their prisoners are CPUs that are very important to the nations of Gamindustri. Without them, people will begin to lose faith...

(Y/n): Then all the more reason to get through these monsters and into the next section of the base. Who's ready to kick some monster butt?

I looked towards everyone as they give a confirmation that they were ready for what's to come. But to me, I hope whatever happens today doesn't mean our last...

(Insert opening Neptunia theme)

Noire's point of view.

Location: Dionix's chamber.

Noire: Uuuugggghhhh... my head... What happened...??

As I begin to wake up, I take a look around the room that I was in. I see Neptune, Blanc and Vert with me who were passed out as we are cuffed at our hands and feet that are entrapping us. I try to struggle and see if I can get out of these cuffs, but can't break free from them. I sigh knowing it was worth just a tiny shot on attempting, but knew I couldn't do it anyway. I look towards the girls as I tried calling the person closest to me.

Noire: Hey Neptune. Wake up. Neptune.

I could see her rousing in her sleep as if she heard me.

Noire: Hey. Girls, wake up. Come on, now isn't the time to be sleeping!

Neptune: Please Noire... I'm tired... Let me eat my pudding...

I look at Neptune as I sigh seeing her drool in her sleep.

Noire: Can you not act like a fool for a couple minutes Neptune! Wake up now!!

My shout to Neptune startles her and the others as they wake up from being unconscious slowly.

Neptune: *yawns* Oh, come on Noire... I was having a good dream about pudding...

Noire: Dream of pudding after we figure out how to escape from here first dummy...

Neptune: Huh...? What do- What in the-?!

Neptune, Blanc and Vert realize their surroundings now.

Blanc: Hey! What's going on here?!

Vert: It would seem we've been captured again from the looks of it...

Neptune: How though?? Last thing I remember is...

Then as if we were all synchronized, we each remembered what had happen before each had passed out. Back at the party, Dionix came in after weakening us using a trick with the anti-crystals against us. (Y/n) was the one who took most of the damage from what Dionix did to him as we could only watch him struggle in pain. Before we were taken though, Dionix had stabbed (Y/n) through his chest to make him bleed out.

Blanc: That bastard! When I get out of these cuffs, I will-!!

Dionix: You'll do what exactly? Strangle me until I become unconscious or something like that? As if you can anyway.

As if on cue, Dionix shows himself as he walks towards us. From what he did to (Y/n) earlier today, makes me mad that I can't get back at him due to my current situation.

Dionix: Those cuffs have been reinforced to keep you goddesses trapped. Even if you wanted to escape, it won't happen.

Noire: What makes you so sure huh?

Dionix: Because I have plans for all four of you.

Vert: Plans?

Neptune was about to say something until I cut in.

Noire: Neptune... I swear, if you make a joke right now, I will seriously hurt you later.

Neptune: W-What? What do you mean?? I have no idea what you're talking about~ *Whistles*

Noire: My point exactly Neptune!!

Dionix: Be quiet!! Your insufferable arguing is just annoying!

Blanc: Trust us, this happens a lot. But what can you do, just let things be as normal as possible I say...

Vert: Indeed...

Dionix: No matter. As long as you four are here, my plan can be executed.

Blanc: What plan?? What could you possibly need us for?

Dionix: To lure "him" here.

Neptune: "Him??" Oh, please tell me it's not that guy from the Powerpuff Girls... Reminds me of Anonydeath, but even creepier... *shivers*

Everyone looks at Neptune, including me, as Blanc, Vert and myself sigh at her meta reference with a cringe at the end.

Dionix: I'm going to ignore whatever that means... But whatever you're thinking of, no.

Dionix then pulls out a remote and presses a button as a screen pops up showing (Y/n)'s team in the second section of the base planning how to handle the current obstacle in their path.

Dionix: Who I plan on luring here, is none other, than (Y/n).

Noire: Of course he and the others would come for us. Why wouldn't they?

Dionix: That's because I wanted them to come rescue you.

Blanc: So this is a trap then I take it?

Dionix: Yes. Though, this trap is more specifically towards your lover, you three goddesses.

Me, Neptune and Blanc look at each other remembering the forced confession (Y/n) had to do until Dionix was through with hearing what (Y/n) was saying.

Neptune: Just try your best again "Dio," (Y/n) will Nep you up like last time. Guaranteed! Plus, thank god for no steamrollers in this room...

Dionix: Let's see where that mouth of yours gets you later.

I look at Dionix with a questionable look at what he means by that as he begins to walk away from us.

Noire: You have something up your sleeve, am I right? What do you plan on doing once (Y/n) gets here???

Dionix stops walking as he chuckles to himself.

Dionix: You will know soon enough. Don't want to ruin the surprise I have planned.

Vert: What do you mean?? What do you have planned???

Dionix: Don't worry your blond head off, if do you figure it out, be grateful if I explain it later.

This throws the four of us in a loop as to why Dionix wants us here to lure (Y/n) to where he is. I look at the screen as (Y/n) is going over some plan as I have a worried look.

Noire: (Thoughts) Please (Y/n)... Stay safe...

Third person view.

Location: Second section of the base.

Back with (Y/n)'s team, he goes over a plan to push through the monsters ahead until they reach the next check point or into the final section of the base.

(Y/n): Here's the plan: Nepgear, you provide cover for Uni in case she gets attacked by monster aggroing towards her. Uzume, Adult Neptune, you both are with me. The three of us will take some of the monsters head on. IF, focus on being support for defending while keeping a look out for new monsters appearing, while Compa helps heal anyone damaged in our push. As for Rom and Ram, focus on giving us defenses and if you have openings, take the chance to help deal damage to enemies. Everyone ready?

His team nods their heads as he summons his katana out and attaches the sheath to his left hip. After doing so, he stands up and draws his sword out. He takes a deep breath in and soon releases it to relieve of some stress while making sure the scarf he had on wouldn't fall off in battle.

(Y/n): Let's go!!

https://youtu.be/1y8aFLxDC6g

(Y/n) appears from around the corner and begins to charge in towards the monsters with Uzume and Adult Neptune right behind him. Some of the monsters begins to see the three as they growl at them. Using Energy Manipulation, (Y/n) creates three energy discs in his hand and throws one to the left, one to the right and one above a monster. The discs expand to create platforms, as (Y/n) jumps from each one until to the third one, it is located directly over a Guard Armor. After landing on the third platform, (Y/n) launches himself from above to slash down behind the robot. Uzume follows it up using Dream Roar as she delivers an energy kick and then shouts into her megaphone to finish it off. Adult Neptune attacks some Bits using her dual blades as she takes on three of them and rips them to shreds.

(Y/n): Stay on the move, but keep to the combat style you all are strongest in. Want to be a hero, be the person who lives to tell the tale after all of this.

As (Y/n) was talking, a Jungle Cut jumps at (Y/n) from behind as Uni then snipes it down and it disappears after getting shot. This surprised (Y/n) as he looked towards Uni as she is reloading.

Uni: That includes you too, (Y/n). Stay on your toes.

(Y/n): Thanks for the cover Uni. That's twice I owe you now.

Uni: Owe me later after the mission. Focus on the enemies coming in.

(Y/n): Roger that.

(Y/n) turned around to see IF slash down on a monster with her katars as Compa stabbed a Jungle Cut with her syringe needle. (Y/n) sweatdrops at the size of the needle.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Does Compa always fight monsters with that thing...??

Shaking his thoughts off, it wasn't the time to be questioning how others fight. He can ask later, but not now. Rom and Ram helped cast shields to protect from incoming damage, while switching to attack with their magic. While some enemies got through, they were heading for Nepgear and Uni. Providing protection for Uni, Nepgear used her Slash Wave at the enemies in front of her as Uni used Aero Shooter to maneuver past the enemy with her own platforms and fires quick shots at them. To finish them off, she jumps up from one to fire a charged shot downward as it explodes on contact to the enemy. Nepgear and Uni regroup with each other and give a high five. Feeling the ever growing enemies, (Y/n) is forced to bring out his Sapphire Blade and goes into dual blade mode. He jumps toward some small enemies and then uses Tornado Storm to pull the enemies into the storm. After using the move, an opening shows itself to get through the enemy line.

(Y/n): Everyone, move now!

On (Y/n)'s command, everyone begins to move to get past the enemies. Even though they got passed the monsters, the enemies weren't willing to give up yet. (Y/n) and Nepgear stopped to turn around as Nepgear used Slash Wave while (Y/n) used Multi-Slicer to each send a waves of energy towards the enemies. This didn't stop the monsters from coming as both (Y/n) and Nepgear began to keep running with the group.

(Y/n): Everyone buy me thirty seconds! I'm using my special attack!

Hearing his order, Uni gets into a crouched position to give cover fire for Nepgear and (Y/n) to push the monsters back. Jumping behind his team with Nepgear, (Y/n) sends his regular katana back into his inventory as the sheath for his Sapphire Blade appears and sheathes his blade. He closes his eyes, begins to charge his energy up and focuses it to his blade. IF casts Demonic Inferno to make some fire explosions go off near one of the bigger monsters as Rom and Ram both cast Ice Coffin together to make a big impact with the monster hoard. As the sheathe begins to glow with (Y/n)'s (A/c) aura, (Y/n) opens his eyes.

(Y/n): It's ready!! Get behind me!!

Doing just that, his team moves behind him as he shouts his EXE skill.

(Y/n): Sonic Slash!!

After drawing his blade, (Y/n) sends a wind cutter as it begins to cut the sides of the walls just slightly. The Sonic Slash begins to hit each monster it touches, as the monsters charging in get cut in half. With each one it goes through, each disappears upon defeat. After clearing the hall of the remaining monsters chasing the group, (Y/n) makes his sword disappear to stop the effects of losing stamina. He takes some deep breaths to slow his racing heart.

Uzume: Good work with that skill (Y/n). That's one way to clean up a problem.

(Y/n): Thanks. But I only use that skill when knowing I have time to attack, and only when for special emergencies with my Sapphire Blade. I can't use my energy through regular weapons, and with my blade having a stamina drain effect on it, it was either use it now or waste more precious energy I have on my necklace to use.

Nepgear: How much energy do you have left?

(Y/n) checks his necklace to see. Taking a careful look at it, he comes to a conclusion.

(Y/n): It took a good amount of it to help in this fight. With having to generate that dome, with the help of you girls of course, and in the fight just now, I need to conserve energy for what's ahead. Considering the final section might have Chaos monsters.

IF: Well I don't see any monsters for now. Let's keep a lookout for the next door to the final section to get out of this area. As long as you stay out of anymore fights (Y/n), your crystal regenerates slowly on storing up energy again. Let some of us take the lead for you.

(Y/n): I'll take that into consideration and think about it.

Blanc's point of view.

Location: Chamber room.

As me and the girls watch the screen showing (Y/n)'s team, we were impressed with how he led his team.

Blanc: Guess the book I gave (Y/n) on combat tactics paid off. He's using everyone's strengths while supporting what weaknesses they have by compromising the situation.

Vert: It would appear so. Though he seems to be wearing something else with what he doesn't usually wear. Don't you agree Noire~?

Noire blushes in embarrassment as (Y/n) was wearing the scarf she made for him.

Noire: W-Well it's his choice to w-wear the thing. I just didn't think he'd wear it while trying to save us...!

Neptune: Well at least he's wearing something from you, he could be rocking his tunes with the headphones I got for him right now.

After Neptune says this, Vert, Noire and myself look at Neptune with a look of a questionable judgement.

Blanc: Neptune... I think him needing to listen to his team and keeping an ear out for danger is more important than his music right now... We are captured after all...

Neptune: Well, even so, he could use something to help pass the time.

The three of us, except Neptune, sigh at what she says.

Noire: Neptune, we are all stuck here. Captured by the enemy, for which has plans to use us as bait to lure (Y/n) here, and yet you don't take this seriously??

Neptune: Hey, I would rather try to take our mind off of our current situation and instead talk about something else. This really shouldn't be anything new by now girls.

Vert: Then why not talk about (Y/n) instead? From what happened during the party, it would seem he's fallen quite greatly for all three of you girls.

With what Vert just said, made all three of us blush.

Noire: W-Well it wasn't like he had any choice at saying that stuff... (Y/n)'s feelings were about to be revealed to us by someone else other rather than him... If anything... I felt bad for what he had to go through...

Neptune: No one deserves to have to be forced to confess their feelings to someone he loves... Especially to three girls he likes on top of that... I blame the creator for that scene!

Blanc: But... He did say that he would try his best to date the three of us, didn't he...? Sure that the confession was forced out... But it's because he didn't want to hurt us until he was prepared to tell us...

The three of us had a silent moment until Neptune broke it again.

Neptune: Hey, if it is alright with you girls... I wouldn't mind sharing him... If that's okay with you two...?

Me and Noire look at Neptune and then between the both of us. Coming to an agreement, we look back towards Neptune.

Noire: It might be hard to do something like this... but if (Y/n) said he'll try his best for us, I'm willing to try I guess.

Blanc: (Y/n) was the first person to defend my stories even though what others have said... If what he said at the party is true... I wish to give the same feelings back as he did.

Neptune: If we have an agreement, then everything should be okay. (Y/n)'s willing to try and date all three of us girls, so let's try our best to give it a shot. After we get rescued, let's tell him how we feel.

The three of us look at each other and give a small smile back on the idea Neptune gave. The moment ends when we hear Dionix chuckling as he walks up to us.

Dionix: You honestly think you all are getting out of here?? You make me laugh with that hope of yours. As if you think he'll be able to save you four.

Noire: He defeated you once at that crater you forced him to fight at the first time, he sure can do it again.

Blanc: Don't underestimate his need to keep fighting. He'll keep getting back up even after being knocked down.

Vert: When he puts his mind to something, nothing can change it once he's decided something. Call it his will to not give up.

Neptune: And after what you did on capturing us, he'll be sure to give it his all when he fights you again. Believe that.

Dionix looks between the four of us giving us stares at first. What started at a low chuckle at first became a bellowing laughter.

Dionix: Face me again you say?? Oh no no. He won't be facing me again. I have other plans than waste my energy with him.

The four of us looked at Dionix, confused as to why he says this to us.

Vert: What do you mean he won't be facing you again?? If he won't be facing you, then who???

As Vert asks her questions, the four of us can hear something being inserted into the capsules that are keeping us prisoners.

Dionix: Ah, Dr. Kinja. I can assume that it's ready for use whenever?

After Kinja installs one last thing into our capsules, he comes out from behind us and stands next to Dionix looking at the four of us.

Kinja: It is indeed my lord. Though I haven't had time to test it yet.

Dionix: It will have to do. You need to get ready to take on the next group to keep them busy. This plan must not fail at all costs. Make sure (Y/n) continues forward towards here. Once he is here, his life will literally be a living hell on Gamindustri for him.

Kinja: As you wish my lord. I hope for the best results out of this. It has taken me great measures to get the mist perfected the way you wanted it to.

Blanc: (Thoughts) The mist...?

I look above my capsule to see some hole on the top part of the capsule I'm in. Kinja said perfecting the mist to be as perfect for Dionix as he could make it. Why is it so important to do this... I need to think...

Blanc: (Thoughts) Last time, (Y/n) had to face an Ancient Dragon that was turned by the mist and walked around in daylight now. Could there have been a reason why they needed to make all these tests? Why go through the trouble to perfect it in such a way...? First monsters... then humans from what Rom and Ram told me-

My eyes go wide as the pieces began to be put together. The experiments... It was to test it on weaker specimens first and work up to something. And If I was right about one thing... I've made the worst discovery that's going to affect everyone here today.

Blanc: I know why you had that robot kidnap my sisters now...

Dionix and Kinja look at me with a slight surprise at what I'm thinking.

Blanc: You kidnapped them to experiment on them, test that mist of yours that's turned monsters into those Chaos types. You were going to see if it can work on a CPU!

Neptune, Noire and Vert look at me with worried looks knowing what's happening now.

Dionix: Very astute claim from the brains of the group. I was hoping to be a surprise for all of you, but now that it's exposed... I might as well tell you four what's going to happen.

The four of us sweat fearing what he plans to do to us once he uses the mist on us.

Dionix: When (Y/n) and whoever else is with him at the time finally arrives to this chamber we are in... You four will be facing him while under the influence of the mist.

This puts fear in all four of us as he states that he's going to use us to fight (Y/n). Though since Neptune, Noire and myself love (Y/n)... It's taking a bigger effect on the three of us more.

Noire: You coward! How dare you?! Are you that much of a coward that you would force (Y/n) to fight us?!

Dionix: Who said I was a coward? I'm just using what resources I can be able to use. That includes you four as well. Once you've been exposed to the mist, you will take flight, not as Goddess CPUs, but instead become the Chaos CPUs!!

The four of us begin to try and struggle, trying to find a way to break free from our confinement and avoid this fate we are put in.

Neptune: When I get out of here, I'm going to Nep you up so bad, that even you won't recognize yourself pal!!

Dionix: Trust me, I have someone who already does that for me already. Hurry up and get ready Kinja. I can't afford having too much resistance when the time comes. Do also make sure you survive Doctor, I still have plans that need to be built after all.

Kinja bows to Dionix and stands back to normal with an evil smile on his face.

Kinja: I wouldn't even think of dying yet my friend. I live to bring fear and chaos with the mist I've helped create after all.

Kinja then turns around and begins to walk off out of the room with his hands in his coat pockets. While Kinja prepares to start handling whoever else stays behind, Neptune, Noire, Vert and myself continue to try and struggle. I can't imagine myself being turned into something else. Last time this happened, Kurome made us fight our friends and want to actually kill them. But that was when everyone was together, now they're being separated by the enemy into groups! With them being spread apart, especially in a place like this, I fear that whoever comes through those doors will die by our hands. That would mean (Y/n) as well... I look back towards the screen as I look at (Y/n) and our friends.

Blanc: (Thoughts) Please (Y/n)...! When and if you get to us... You have to fight if it comes to it...!

Third person view.

Location: Second section of Dionix's base.

Time: Ten-fifteen p.m.

As (Y/n)'s team continued to walk, they had some encounters with some enemies. Though the enemies were just weak enough for the group to handle them. Due to IF's constant recommendation to recover his energy, (Y/n) finally complied and was acting as item support. While the group was walking to find the door to the next section, Uni decides to walk next to (Y/n) to ask him a question.

Uni: Hey (Y/n), how are you holding up?

(Y/n): I'm doing just fine. Trying to conserve energy like IF told me to do. *Whispers* Though if you ask me, she acts just like my mom at times...

Uni: Well, she's just trying to look out for you (Y/n). All of us are.

(Y/n): I know... I guess I just don't deserve it is all...

Uni: Why do you say that?

(Y/n): Because I put you all in danger at that party... If I'd known you all were going to throw me that party... I would have told you all of what I've known... It's still my fault your sister, Neptune, Blanc and Vert got kidnapped... If I just told you all... then none of this would have happened...

(Y/n) looks down to the ground, still beating himself up for what happened earlier today. Uni looks at (Y/n) as she places a hand on his shoulder as they walk.

Uni: Listen (Y/n)... I know what happened today can't be changed... But we still have a chance to save them. You can either let the past haunt you, or you can learn from your mistakes and move forward from it.

(Y/n) looks at Uni at what she says.

Uni: Yes, I'm still mad that you didn't trust us in knowing about the spies the enemy had placed. But after all you've done for us... It speaks volumes on where your heart is at. You jump towards the danger and face it knowing there is a chance you could die and take it head on. Yet, here you are, from after three months of living here, you've not grown in just strength and skill, but with the bonds you've made with your friends. Friends that trust in you to help lead them in the best course of action with the best results you can think of. That's why Histoire even agreed to choose you to be our leader for this mission. But a leader can also know when to heed their allies words and have help in trusting them.

(Y/n): Uni...

Uni: You may be strong on your own to go far, but with your team...

(Y/n) and Uni look at their team ahead of them.

Uni: You can reach the horizon with them.

(Y/n) looks at Uni and at his team as it brings a smile to his face.

(Y/n): Heh Heh... Thanks for saying that Uni... That really helps.

Uni: Hey, just trying to help keep your chin up. That's what friends are for.

(Y/n) smiles as he fixes the scarf Noire gave him back around him.

Uni: So, why are you wearing the gift my sister gave to you?

(Y/n): Call it my way of being able to cope from my mistakes earlier today. I'm feeling better from what we've talked about, but this is just my personal need to keep calm.

Uni looks at (Y/n) and smiles.

Uni: Glad to hear it, she worked hard on making that for you. Just keep it safe as best as you can.

(Y/n): Trust me, when a real fight shows itself, that's when I'll put this away.

IF: Hey everyone! Look!

(Y/n) and Uni look towards where IF is looking at and sees the door that leads to the next section.

(Y/n): One step closer right?

Uni: The closer we get, the closer we are to rescuing them.

As the group enters through the doors, they are met with Kinja who is piloting suit of armor that was human sized. The armor was all dark as it had red outlines all around the body.

Kinja: Well, if it isn't the rescue squad trying to save their precious CPUs. Hello again brat.

(Y/n): Kinja...

Kinja: That's DOCTOR Kinja, brat. Even though I have evil ambitions with my associates, I still have standards with titles. I didn't just earn this title in science through a cereal box you know.

(Y/n): Tomato, tamato. Either way, you'll be squished like one if you know what's coming to you.

Kinja: Sorry to burst your bubble there, but I have no business with you. My master only wishes for you to continue your way through here. But to do that, some must stay behind for my own amusement.

(Y/n) was going to protest to this before Nepgear puts a hand on (Y/n)'s shoulder.

Nepgear: (Y/n), let us handle him. Our sister's are more important right now. If it means keeping your energy reserved for the fight ahead, we'll stay behind.

(Y/n): What?

Uni, Rom, and Ram have their weapons out as Nepgear then does the same.

(Y/n): You sure the four of you can handle him?

Uni: When it comes to the four of us, we can handle things together.

Rom: That's right.

Ram: Besides, I need to get some payback from when he hit me back at that facility. Now's a good time for some karma payback!

(Y/n) looks at Ram who then chuckles slightly at her words as he pats her on the head. (Y/n) then looks towards Nepgear, who looks like she's ready to take action.

(Y/n): I'm putting you in charge of them Nepgear. If you four believe you can do this, I believe in you too. When you four catch up, be ready to hug your sister's again.

CPU Candidates: Okay.

With that (Y/n) looks towards Kinja as he looks back at (Y/n) giving him a shit eating grin. (Y/n) frowns at this knowing he's losing another chance to deal with Kinja personally, but now wasn't the time for grudges. (Y/n) began to lead the others to the final section as the doors close behind the remaining five as they push onward to the final area.

Location: Chamber room.

Time: Ten-thirty p.m.

After Kinja let (Y/n) and his team through to continue heading towards the chamber room area. Blanc, Noire, Vert and Neptune were tired from trying anything they could to break free from their containment. Though, their many attempts was for nought as the cuffs wouldn't budge.

Noire: Urrrggggh... Come on...! There has to be a way out of this...!

Vert: We've tried everything Noire... Nothing is going to work.

Noire: But...

Blanc: I know how you feel Noire... I'm sure Neptune does as well...

Neptune: Got me there Blanc...

Noire: Then what are we supposed to do?? Let (Y/n) and the others just walk into a trap??

Blanc: You don't think I like how this situation is going?? Trust me... With how this situation is going... all we can do is pray for a miracle at this point.

Vert: As much as I hate to admit it... Blanc is right...

The group looks sad knowing they can't escape from being corrupted by something else again.

Blanc: But if there is one thing we can do, is try and tell (Y/n) to not hold back...

The others look at Blanc from what she says.

Blanc: (Y/n) has never had to face us in a real fight. Only in sparing matches that were for fun. He only got half serious knowing that no one would die in that kind of fight... Considering we're not going to be in control on how we fight once we've been exposed, I don't know how he'll react to it...

The others look down knowing what Blanc is saying is the truth.

Noire: Damn... Even when (Y/n)'s wanting to save us... To have to fight the people he's saving...?

Neptune: Our friends had to go through that once already... But now the group is spread thin now... And with (Y/n)...?

Vert: My how our situation has turned for worse...

Blanc: We were saved once from something similar to this already... All (Y/n) needs to do for what's coming up is to just harm us enough until we've passed out. After that, we can be taken back and-

Dionix: And then what? Return back to normal with your precious Share Energy? I don't think so!!

The four goddesses then look towards Dionix.

Dionix: I've worked too hard to finally get that bastard here!! I will not let you all just get away that easily!!

Dionix then pulls out a control switch and presses a button. The button sends a signal that sends a controlled shock to the girls capsules as they screamed out in pain. The shock is just enough to then make them slowly lose consciousness.

Dionix: (Y/n) will die here, either by your hands or by something else. I've waited for this day to happen for so long and I will not lose it now!!

Dionix then puts the switch away and turns back towards the screen as he gazes at it. Going to Vert, she holds what consciousness she has left and looks at (Y/n) one last time.

Vert: (Y/n)... Fight... Please... Help us...

After that, she passes out from the electric shock Dionix did to the four of them.

Location: Final section.

As (Y/n)'s team begins to make the final stretch, the team consists of (Y/n), Uzume, Adult Neptune, IF and Compa. The five then begin to see more monsters, this time, the Chaos variety.

(Y/n): Seems the edge lord himself is pulling out all the stops now. No way a regular person would survive through here.

Uzume: Guess that makes the us lucky since we're not just some regular fighters then.

IF: I've only heard from what reports were made of these things, and of course they look frightening as how I see them...

Compa: Scary...

Adult Neptune: Our friends are past these things. Get through them, and we'll have more fire power after saving them.

(Y/n): Right. They have those Next Forms Blanc told me about. Get them free, and this place is good as gone.

Uzume: So, are we going to just stand here-

Uzume says as she gets her megaphone out.

Uzume: -or are we going to save our friends?

(Y/n): You already know my answer Uzu.

Uzume: Guess that's a nickname for me? Heh, Uzu, not a bad one kid.

(Y/n): Eh, just has that certain ring to it.

(Y/n) took deep breath as he then removed the scarf around his neck to send it back to his inventory space. He then activated his (A/c) aura and summoned both his regular blade and Sapphire Spirit Blade. (Y/n) stands in front of the group as he turns his head to the left to look back towards his friends.

(Y/n): Everyone stay close. No separating from each other. Our strength is in our skills and trust in each other right now. Use anything we can to hit these things hard while saving some energy as well, we still have one last person to face when we get to the chamber room.

Everyone: Roger.

Upon charging forward, his team began to charge in with him. (Y/n) speeds up as he approaches one of the Chaos monsters quickly. The first one he approaches appears to be a Fenrir who was bipedal like the time at the facility him and Noire faced. This made (Y/n) mad as he summoned a large Energy Shield and slammed the shield hard into the Fenrir. This was able to push the Chaos Fenrir back some feet before it regained it's footing and pushed back on (Y/n)'s shield.

(Y/n): Neptune! IF! Now!!

On cue, the two of them charged in as (Y/n) used his other hand to face the two to boost them up into the air with an energy platform. Once over the shield, IF and Adult Neptune both slash down on the back of the Fenrir as it lets out a howl of pain.

(Y/n): Uzume! Your turn!

Uzume charges in as (Y/n) let's the shield down to let her pass as Uzume used her Dream Smash Fist to then gather her energy to her fist as it forms a drill to then pierce through the Fenrir. To finish up the attack, (Y/n) used Energy Slash by charging his blade up and then slashing down at the Chaos monster. The team then sees the Chaos monsters turn their attention to the group, as (Y/n)'s team tensed up.

(Y/n): AOE skills now! Keep them together and hit them as hard as you can!! Finish them in one strike!

Upon (Y/n)'s command, IF uses La Delphinus to make a sigil underneath a group of monsters to them create a beam of light that shoots out under them. Gaining some assistance in going airborne with (Y/n)'s help, Adult Neptune used her Aerial Shot to shot downwards around some enemies with her pistol. Compa then used her Arcane Shell to which she sent a beam upwards to create a ball of energy to then shoot downwards with a barrage of energy. Next, Uzume used her Umio Heaven as clones of Umio drop bombs from the sky and then kamikaze themselves onto the enemy as she salutes to their sacrifice. To finish up the current monsters the team had to face, (Y/n) stepped forward as he closed his eyes. When he opened them, he then dashes forward at the group of monsters and activates Cataclysmic Rush as does a series of slashes up to nine times at the Chaos monsters. After pushing through the hoard, (Y/n) had his eyes closed. After opening them, slashes could be seen on each monster he went passed as each one began to disappear until one that was left. Before the last Chaos monster even hit (Y/n), an energy blade shot through the monster like nothing as it was sticking out through the back. When it disappears, (Y/n) could be seen in a stance with his blade extended outward as a blade of energy had formed from the base of (Y/n)'s sword. Retracting the energy made, (Y/n) then sheathed his swords onto his back and regrouped with his friends as he took in some deep breaths.

IF: What was that??

(Y/n): Something I had discovered back in the cave that I found my sword in. When testing it out, I pumped in too much energy and did what you saw. Though, thank god no rock tried to crushed me this time around...

IF: That move was just like Dionix's attack that impaled you in the park (Y/n)... How is that possible...?

(Y/n): Been trying to figure that out myself... All I know is that, when he attacked me with that energy blade from his sword, it reminded me of how I first used the Sapphire Spirit Blade back in Planeptune.

Adult Neptune: Well, I don't really care how, but that's one way to handle a monster hoard from what we did.

Uzume: But those Chaos monsters, something feels... Familiar about them... Can't quite figure it out why though...

(Y/n): Figure it out later Uzume. Also... Why were there more fishmen...? Especially on how they looked like Umio...?

Uzume: Eh, I never questioned it.

(Y/n): You know what, forget I asked... We're almost to where our friends are. Just a little farther now...

Location: Chamber room.

Time: Ten-forty five p.m.

After finding some more Chaos monsters down the path and taking them out, (Y/n)'s team finally reaches their destination. (Y/n) looked at the door nervous to enter through it. He then felt a hand on his shoulder as he turned to IF who was looking at him.

IF: Hey, you okay? You're looking pretty nervous.

(Y/n): Yeah... I just... pre-battle jitters is all...

IF: Hey, come on. We've made it this far, we can't turn back now. Nep-Nep, Noire, Blanc, and Vert are just behind that door with the enemy waiting behind it also. You have help this time to face Dionix in battle. You're not alone this time. You have your team to help.

(Y/n) looked at IF and nodded his head. When he faced the door, he pushed on it as it opened up slowly. What he first sees is Neptune, Noire, Blanc and Vert being held in capsule like containers as the others rush to the four. Their friends were out conscious when they got closer. Taking a careful look at one of them, they were still breathing. This gives (Y/n) a sigh of relief.

(Y/n): Come on. Let's get these things open.

Adult Neptune: Ooooo~ It's like we'll be opening rare prizes, though we already know what's- *whack* Nepu!!

Finding that the time for jokes is not now, (Y/n) gives Adult Neptune a whack with the Harisen fan to the head and causes her to crouch down holding her head. When Adult Neptune gets back up to look at (Y/n), he has an angry look on his face.

(Y/n): The Neptune I know already made a joke like that! Now isn't the time to be joking around damn it!!

Adult Neptune: Yipes! Y-Yes sir...!

Standing off to the side, IF and Compa look at (Y/n) and Adult Neptune as (Y/n) was giving Adult Neptune an ear full of discipline and lecture. While (Y/n) was talking with Adult Neptune, he could be seen pounding his face as he gave gesture with his body of what he was going to do to Adult Neptune. From pounding his fists, to kicking some air, and to somehow suplexing the air.

Compa: Any comments Iffy??

IF: Hey, if (Y/n) didn't do it, I sure as hell would've... But he beat me to the damn punch that bastard...

IF claims this as she had her own harisen fan ready. After scolding Adult Neptune, (Y/n) heads to the capsule where Noire is being held. (Y/n) puts his hands where the doors seem to open up and begin on attempting on freeing Noire.

(Y/n): Each of you take a capsule. We need to get them out of these while we can.

As the team began on trying to free their friends, Noire was the first to begin waking up as she saw someone in front of her. The person from her eyes seemed to be trying to open the capsule open to get her out. When her eyes refocus, she see it's (Y/n) as she then became worried.

Noire: (Y-Y/n)!?

(Y/n) looks at Noire and smiles at her.

(Y/n): Hey there princess. Don't worry, we're going to get you out now. After that, a beat down on lord dark himself.

Noire: No! You all need to get away from here! Now!

(Y/n): What?! You have to be kidding me! I'm not going to just abandon you girls here!

Then Neptune, Blanc and Vert began to wake up and heard (Y/n) and Noire conversing to each other.

Noire: (Y/n), this is a trap. A trap Dionix placed for you and anyone who gets here!

Dionix: That is enough. You'll ruin the surprise.

The group then hears Dionix as he gets up from his throne he has placed in front of some monitors. As he then began walking towards the group, (Y/n) goes pass the capsules to get in Dionix's way and gets into a combat stance.

(Y/n): *Towards his team* Focus on getting them free, I'll handle Dionix. *Towards Dionix* So, I take it you're ready to fight me again?

Dionix: Ha ha ha. You sure are eager to die you goddess loving brat.

(Y/n): Not planning on dying today Dionix. After my team gets our friends out from those things, we'll defeat you here.

Dionix then held his hand to his helmet as he then began to laugh. This started to confuse the team and (Y/n) even more from Dionix's laugh as he got louder.

Dionix: You say that now... But that won't happen... You see, I am not your enemy today.

(Y/n): What's that supposed to mean??

Dionix: This, is what it means.

Dionix brings out a switch button and presses it. The red warning lights light up and spin in a circle, the room is lit up red from the multiple lights. This worried (Y/n) on what was happening as he looked at Dionix.

(Y/n): What did you do?!

Dionix: Your death sentence.

Dionix turns around and walks back to his chair as a glass screen comes down. (Y/n) tries to chase after Dionix, but gets blocked off from the glass. (Y/n) tries to punch at it, but like how Kinja escaped every time, the glass was made of the same material.

IF: (Y/n)!! Something's happening inside of the capsules!!

Worried, (Y/n) heads over to where his team is and his eyes became alarmed at what he was seeing. The capsules that contained Neptune, Noire, Blanc and Vert, were beginning to fill up with the mist made by Kinja.

(Y/n): No! Get these capsules open!! He's planning on changing our friends using the mist!!

(Y/n) and his team began trying to struggle on getting the doors open. Neptune, Noire, Blanc and Vert had a worried look that what's happening now, can't be avoided. They look at each other and nod in agreement.

Noire: (Y/n)... Listen to me...

(Y/n): No. If it's to run away, I'm not leaving you girls!

Neptune: (Y/n)...

(Y/n): Just let me think...!

Vert: (Y/n), stop.

(Y/n): Please... Don't change my mind on this...!

Blanc: Would you listen you dummy!!

This startles (Y/n) as he looks at Blanc.

Blanc: We're not asking you to leave us here... We're trying to tell you... to not hold back...

This shocks (Y/n) hearing what Blanc says. The mist that's being generated begins to fill the capsules more as it reaches the goddesses' legs.

(Y/n): Y-You want us to hurt you?! No, there has to be another way!!

Vert: There isn't another way (Y/n)... The others know that as well...

(Y/n) looked at his team knowing the last time something like this happened. They each revisit the time Neptune and the others were being controlled by Kurome as they were forced to face their friends. Each with a sad look on that memory.

Neptune: (Y/n)... I know you don't want to hurt us... I can tell from how you fight when you handle the enemy and how you fight with us...

(Y/n): N-No...

Noire: (Y/n)... I know it hurts thinking of having to face us, especially what happens next... But please... We don't want to hurt you as well, but we won't be in control to make that choice... You have to defend yourself from us (Y/n)...

(Y/n) then falls to his knees hearing those words hit him with his hands still on the capsule. Tears began to form in his eyes feeling useless on helping Vert and those he loves.

(Y/n): Why...? It's not fair... All those times training... I was training to fight the enemy... Not my friends...! I'm not prepared for this...!

Neptune: Yes, you are (Y/n)! I know this isn't what you want, but the others need your help as well.

Blanc: With how this mist makes those affected by it become stronger and lose control, we won't be in control of our own actions once it happens...

Vert: Meaning we don't have a choice in who we choose to fight and don't want to fight...

Noire: Please (Y/n)... help us protect our friends...

It hurts (Y/n) having to think on fighting his friends, but he knows what the capability of the mist can do as well.

Neptune: I know we'll all come out of this alive. I promise (Y/n). When I make a promise, it's a Nep promise. Trust me, okay...?

(Y/n) looks at Neptune with some tears going down his face as he nods. He couldn't find the words to speak it, but he understood what Neptune meant. The mist reaches near the top with the goddesses' heads still being shown.

Noire: Everything will be okay (Y/n), I promise. We know what needs to be done. So help our friends, to then help us.

Vert: You can do this (Y/n), just reach deep down and push through this ordeal you have to face. Face this, and you'll be even stronger than before.

Blanc: If anything, you can do this (Y/n)... We all do...

With that, the mist overtakes the goddesses' as some groan as the changes began to happen. The team couldn't see what was happening due to the mist blocking their vision, but they know what to expect when the four finally get released from the chambers. As the sounds stop emanating from the capsules, (Y/n) starts to get back up as he wipes his tears away. After Dionix presses a button, Noire's capsule opens up as (Y/n) looks at it. Hearing an evil chuckle coming from the capsules, (Y/n) backs away slowly. His shoe makes a squeak against the floor as (Y/n) then saw some movement. A hand comes flying out with metallic claws aiming for his head, as he shifts his body to dodge it, but gets cut on the cheek with a few deep cuts in it. (Y/n) grunts from the pain as he jumps backward holding his cheek, sliding backwards toward his team. When he removes his hand, his team can see that he got cut on the cheek by three claws with blood on his hand. The claw marks were small, but still noticeable to still be seen on the right side of his cheek by the others as blood trickled down from the cuts made.

(These are what I picture it, this is only a recommendation, but (Y/n) has a few scars on his cheek on the right side of his face now.)

IF: (Y/n), you okay?!

(Y/n): I'm fine... I'm more worried about what we have to see next...

After the three other capsules open, all four of the goddesses fly out of it as they seem to be in HDD form. But to the others, it wasn't what they normally see. Each of the goddesses have gone through a change and the forms they took have never seen before to the group. Though, this seems to shock Uzume and Adult Neptune the most.

Uzume: WHAT?! That's impossible!!

(Y/n): What's up Uzume? Care to shed some light on what we're seeing here?

Adult Neptune: We both can. Remember how me, Uzume and Umio fell from the sky earlier today?

(Y/n): Yeah... That's when I became your landing cushion for you three to land on...

Adult Neptune: Forget about it will you! We were traveling through dimensions one day as we landed in this one dimension we are about to explain.

Uzume: In that dimension, someone by the name of DCD, or better known as Dimensional Chaos Device, she has the power to change people whoever she infected with Chaos Energy. Though, we never found out the reason for all the trouble she caused. She disappeared before we could catch her... What we see now is the results of said Chaos Energy, the forms our friends are taking is Chaos Forms.

(Y/n): Great. So man-made mist from a crazy doctor made his own mist filled with Chaos Energy?? That's just great...

Uzume: (Y/n), this is serious. These forms are dangerous. That's why I felt like I've seen the monsters we've fought look familiar to me. This is the effects of Chaos Energy.

(Y/n): You have more experience then, what's the plan?

Adult Neptune: (Y/n), you know what we have to do...

(Y/n) looks down to the ground as the pain from the claw marks remind him what just happened.

Adult Neptune: I promise we will save them (Y/n), but we need every fire power we got to weaken them first... I'm not suggesting we kill them. Only enough to knock them out of the fight.

Looking at his team and then at the now Chaos CPUs, he then stands up and looks at Adult Neptune.

(Y/n): Alright... I don't like the idea of hurting them... But to just knock them out... I can do that much. I won't kill them...

IF: None of us do (Y/n)... Take it from us... this is the second time having to do this for us.

(Y/n): Right... Blanc told me about the Kurome incident...

Uzume: Correct. The enemy isn't going to wait forever for us to attack, what's the plan (Y/n)?

(Y/n) looked at his team and then looked at his friends who have been corrupted by the Chaos mist.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Plan...? I have no plan for this situation... At most... All I can try and do is pray and give the best course of actions... 'Cause with how things are going, it's going to take a miracle to get out of this mess...!

(Y/n)'s team stares at the Chaos CPUs who have confident evil looks on their faces while Dionix watches from his throne. The time on (Y/n)'s communicator ticks, marking that the time is Eleven o'clock p.m.

Dionix: (Thoughts) Soon... So soon... Once he dies, I can finally take the world by storm...

Dionix looks at (Y/n) as a big smile at the tables being in his favor become more apparent to him as he laughs at the scene in front of him.

Dionix: (Thoughts) When that happens, nothing will keep me held back anymore!!

Chapter 16. End.
