Neptune: Last time, on Hyperdimension Neptunia:

(Y/n) had begun to fight more seriously against Dionix going full power, but even that wasn't enough as Dionix had held back power he hasn't even used yet in battle. (Y/n) was caught within a dark sphere that would have killed him, but then out of nowhere, the sharicite reacted to (Y/n)'s need and sent a beam to the crater. Before the beam reached the crater, it looked like (Y/n) was going to die from being absorbed by the dark sphere, but was saved by the Share Energy sent to him. After the dark sphere gets destroyed and is replaced with a sphere of light, (Y/n) had undergo a transformation of his own.

Dionix: Just who are you?!?!

Guardian [(Y/n)]: For who I am right now... you can call me... Guardian.

With the new form named and battle heating up with Dionix and Guardian with their backs to each other as the fight resumes... Now.

(Insert opening Neptunia music)

July 31, 20XX

Location: Crater.

Time: Afternoon.

At the crater, we return to see (Y/n), or better known as Guardian right now, as he and Dionix have their backs to each other. They stand at the top of the crater's edge on a platform and neither of them make a move. Neptune's group watches the both of them waiting to see what they do next with Noire, Blanc, Vert still in their HDD forms.

Black Heart (Noire): What speed! How much did (Y/n) power up from all that Share Energy?!

White Heart (Blanc): I don't know. That beam was filled with concentrated Share Energy. Depending on how much... I have no clue. But, it was enough to even make that sphere that was crushing (Y/n) get canceled out.

Green Heart (Vert): I can even feel Share Energy radiating off of (Y/n)... It's enough to match the power of a CPU in HDD... What do you think Neptune?

As Neptune watches, deep down, she's very happy (Y/n) is still alive. That doesn't mean the others didn't as well, deep down they were glad as well. They're just more shocked to see the outcome from when the beam of Share Energy saved (Y/n)'s life and made him transform into what he is now.

Neptune: I don't know, but (Y/n)'s rocking the new look with that form though!

Black Heart sighs at Neptune's childish manners. Going back to Guardian and Dionix, they still had their backs towards each other. Waiting to see who will attack first.

Guardian [(Y/n)]: So how are we going to play this out Dionix? You can see that I've changed in not just form, but in strength as well.

Dionix: Yes... You're different now with that form. I have heard that CPU's personalities change when they transform... But here you are, radiating the same energy and hope the goddesses give off. It disgusts me!!

Creating his sword from dark mist again, he turns around to strike at Guardian without noticing. But Guardian was prepared as he turned as well to block the attack with his blade. Dionix and Guardian struggled against each other fighting to surpass each other in the clash.

Guardian [(Y/n)]: I'm not the same boy I was when we first started. I'm more focused, determined and confident you will lose now. Don't underestimate me like you did with the Shinzuyaku clan. If they can take you down, then that possibility is available to me as well.

Dionix: Don't think you will have the chance! I refuse to lose to an inferior brat from another world!!

The surface they were on breaks off as it soon begins to slide down the slope of the crater. The fight starts up again as Guardian slashes from left to right and does an uppercut slash with his sword, but Dionix blocked the two strikes and back flips from the uppercut slash. Crouching down low, Dionix pushes forward and charges at Guardian fast. He then slashes from the left to the right as Guardian blocks the attack and pushes Dionix's attack off as he does a spin kick to Dionix's chest. Dionix stumbles backwards and then regains his footing. The surface hits a bump as the sliding rock they were on bounces into the sky. Needing to get off before their footing disappears, they both jump off and roll on the ground to cushion both of their landings. After both of them stand back up, they charge towards each other while Guardian sheaths his blade.

Black Heart (Noire): What is that fool thinking?! Get your sword back out you idiot!

As both Guardian and Dionix finish closing in towards each other, Dionix lifts his sword up to swing down at Guardian. Using his aura, Guardian increases his defense while using the white armor he had on his right arm to block and redirect the sword blow out of the way. Leaving Dionix open, Guardian uses his left hand to deliver a hard punch to Dionix's stomach to stun him for a good minute. In that time, Guardian began to throw a series of punches and kicks at Dionix that was stunned from the attack. It consisted of jabs, swing kicks, hooks and to end the combo, he jumped back a couple meters and ran up to do a drop kick at Dionix's chest to send him flying away into a pile of rocks. As Guardian gets back on his feet in a combat stance, Dionix explodes the rocks away from him in as he looks at Guardian with rage in his eyes under his helmet.

Location: Planeptune's Basilicom.

Everyone that stayed behind while the CPUs went to help (Y/n). They have been watching from the screen as the fight continued with Guardian taking the momentum back in the fight. Some were cheering Guardian on, while some had a talk of what they're seeing. To them, it wasn't possible for someone, especially a person from another dimension to transform in a way.

Ram: Go Guardian! Kick his butt!

Rom: Yeah! Show that meany who's boss!

Compa: Look at Mr. (Y/n) go!

IF: Not just that, but he blocked that sword like it was nothing.

Nepgear: I don't understand. How did (Y/n) do that? He doesn't even have a processor unit and yet we see him like that.

Uni: I don't know either... Yet here we are, seeing this happen right in front of our eyes for the first time...

Histoire: I believe I can shed some light, though I'm not sure as well...

Everyone looks towards Histoire wanting to listen to her explanation.

Histoire: From what we saw, (Y/n) was fighting for his survival to stay alive. When someone is on the verge of death, they think back on their life one last time before the inevitable collision. In doing so, even though he knew that he wouldn't live, he got back up and still gave it his all. In his need to survive, the Sharicite reacted to his need to live. It decided to intervene and save his life. Because he was wearing the crystal still, he was able to absorb the Share Energy given to him. The crystal wasn't meant to take in energy due to the constant supply it can regain over time. Though with that beam, I believe by absorbing that much energy, (Y/n) unlocked a new power in the necklace that even the Shinzuyaku clan couldn't do.

Nepgear: Then wait! Does that mean-?!

Histoire: In turn, the crystal is acting as a medium to sustain the transformation. This is the first time the Crystal of Hope has been able to give the user a transformation to use since its creation. We'll have to do an examination on (Y/n) and the necklace once he returns safe and sound.

With the information they hear, it was much to take in even for them. For the first time in their life, someone other than a CPU or a CPU candidate could transform using Share Energy.

Location: Crater.

At the crater, Dionix clears any dust off his armor as Guardian approaches towards Dionix. From how the battle went so far, Dionix had done the most to damage to (Y/n) before he could transform. Now, Guardian was turning the tables in the fight and finally getting some damage into Dionix.

Guardian [(Y/n)]: You seem to be struggling now Dionix. From how our battle went, it used to be one-sided with me being your punching bag. Now, I have a chance to turn this battle around.

Dionix: You think you can still win? Just seeing you makes me rage. In fact, my blood is boiling from how pathetic this fight is going! You should've just died and be dead right now!

Guardian [(Y/n)]: Yet here I am defying you. If you continue to live how you are now, many people will get hurt from what your group does. No one wants a dictator to rule them. That's why the CPU's of this world are here. They each have their land, and their respective people that follow them. To rule with an iron fist, no one will want you to rule over them!!

Dionix begins to chuckle a little and soon bellows out thinking Guardian's words are pathetic.

Dionix: What makes these CPU's so great then?! I have been in this world for a long time to where even if they did have power, they were stupid enough to get ambushed and captured from time and time again. Those who rule like that are weak and don't deserve to live and rule a nation!! You will never understand what I know!!

Dionix casts his blade and fires a big dark slash towards the CPUs who shift to block as they see the incoming attack. Moving in a flash, Guardian moves towards where his friends are using Flash Step, while pumping little energy to his feet for more speed. The dark slash makes it about 3/4's of the distance before Guardian jumps in the way of the attack and casts an Energy Shild to block it. When the smoke clears, Guardian could be seen standing in front of four CPUs with his back towards them.

Guardian [(Y/n)]: You girls okay?

Black Heart (Noire): Like we need help defending against an attack! Why did you do that knowing the enemy is still here?!

Guardian [(Y/n)]: My body just moved was all. Seeing that man, Dionix, trying to attack you four when you girls weren't even part of the fight... Didn't feel right if it meant you four got damaged from just watching our fight.

White Heart (Blanc): But you could've let us handled it and then took that man by surprise! You didn't need to block it for us!

Green Heart (Vert): Exactly. What good comes from it with you waste energy during your fight?

Guardian [(Y/n)]: How about being there for when one of you are not in your transformtion state?

The others then look towards Neptune and she giggles nervously forgetting to transform back. Before Neptune could get another Share Crystal out, Guardian turned around and walked up to her. He then placed a hand on top of her head and kneels down. He channeled his energy into Neptune and transformed her back into Purple Heart. The visor on Guardian's face then separates to reveal his face to be older due to the transformation state as he smiles at Purple Heart.

Guardian [(Y/n)]: Don't bother using another one when you have me here Neptune. Just be more careful next time, okay?

Purple Heart blushes as her heart skips a beat. She nods her head and Guardian gets back up with his visor closing up again.

Guardian [(Y/n)]: You four stay here and watch. This is my fight that I plan to settle with my own two hands.

The four looked at each other as Guardian said this to them.

Black Heart (Noire): ...Tch, fine. We'll watch for now (Y/n), but the first sign of trouble you get put into again, we're coming in to end it.

White Heart (Blanc): Just don't die you idiot. You may be strong now, but that doesn't mean you get to be cocky with your new powers.

Green Heart (Vert): That's right. Observe your opponent, watch his patterns and then strike.

Guardian was about to head back into battle before Purple Heart called out to him.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Thank you for looking out for us, even if we didn't need it (Y/n).

Guardian [(Y/n)]: You're welcome. Just cheer me on from here on out for this fight. I want to show you all what I can do.

Purple Heart smiles and nods her head as Guardian used Flash Step to get back to where Dionix is. When Guardian returns Dionix wasn't surprised he was back considering there was unfinished business to be done.

Dionix: So how did that attack feel Guardian? Did you enjoy it?

Guardian [(Y/n)]: That was a dirty trick you pulled Dionix. They weren't part of our fight and you tried to attack them. How cowardly can you get to where you resort on attacking bystanders watching the fight?

Dionix: It doesn't matter. You still wasted energy from defending your friends. As long as I hit something, I'm satisfied.

This in turn makes Guardian angry as he growls hearing what Dionix says.

Guardian [(Y/n)]: You bastard... You know people like me and them will focus on helping others stay safe even if it meant getting hurt. Well let me tell you this. You may break my body, shatter my soul, and destroy my spirit, but what I won't let you do... Is hurt my friends!!

Guardian then pushes off from ground a it shatters in his quake. He speeds up to Dionix, who is surprised by this, as Guardian delivers a punch to Dionix's helmet to send him flying away to the left with Guardian chasing after Dionix. He then kicks Dionix skyward into the sky to then jump up after him and punch Dionix back downward to crash into the ground of the crater. Guardian lands on the ground in a crouched position from landing and got back to his feet. A human sized hole was made indicating that Dionix crashed through it.

Guardian [(Y/n)]: As long as I live... you will not hurt another soul... nor my friends. Never forget that.

Before anything else happened, dark aura began to burst from the hole made by Dionix when he crashed into the ground. As the dark energy kept surging through, Dionix then began to rise up from it slowly. His helmet was cracked as the visor covering his eyes broke apart, revealing glowing red eyes.

Dionix: Of all things.... to be losing to a brat given powers of a CPU... I will not stand for this!!!

Guardian got into a stance as he pulled his sword out. Before he knew what happened, Guardian got kicked in the head as he began to slide backwards with Dionix following after him. Dionix remade his sword as he begins to sword clash with Guardian. Each took a swing was from different directions while moving at a fast pace. Although Guardian had been given a power boost, it still wasn't enough with how much Dionix is pushing out now. Dionix then became a slight blur to Guardian as he had trouble keeping up with Dionix with a few exceptions on blocking some attacks. With how fast Dionix is moving, even the CPUs had trouble keeping an eye on him.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Even with our current forms, we're having trouble seeing him?!

Black Heart (Noire): That's impossible! How can someone move that fast?!

White Heart (Blanc): On top of that, even (Y/n) is beginning to have trouble! We need to get in there now!

Green Heart (Vert): Now hold on ladies. We must see this to the end. (Y/n) hasn't given up yet, and he seems to be able to see this "Dionix" move, if not just slightly. I fear if we intervene now, we would only distract (Y/n). Let us wait until he's really needs it.

The other three hesitated on what Green Heart was saying, but knew that if they did, Guardian wouldn't be able to focus like she said. He would be more worried about their safety than fighting with Dionix. As the assault kept happening to Guardian, cracks were beginning to form on the white armor Guardian had equipped. Though with each attack, Guardian was beginning to see Dionix's movements with each pass. Upon the next attack headed for him, Guardian did a perfect parry against Dionix that threw him off balance with the force of the counter. Guardian took his chance to deliver some slashes back at Dionix as he hears Dionix grunt from each slice. Dionix recovers from the counter and delivers a hard punch with Guardian blocking it. But the force the punch impacts causes Guardian to get pushed far back from the punch and soon gets down onto one knee breathing hard.

Dionix: Feeling winded brat? Don't worry... This next attack will finish you off in an instant.

Dionix begins to charge up an attack that sparks electricity beginning to surge from his blade. This begins to make a field current around him, making it dangerous to approach. Storm clouds begin to form overhead of the area as Dionix keeps charging up his energy for his attack when it soon begins to rain down. Water bounces off of the electrical field surrounding Dionix as the field intensifies the longer he charges up.

Guardian [(Y/n)]: (Thoughts) Damn... This bastard is using his trump card to finish this fight and with my life with that... If I don't do anything here and now... No... I must do something...!

Guardian gets back on both feet as he analyzes the situation.

Black Heart (Noire): This has gone far enough. If we wait any longer... Then...

Green Heart (Vert): No, not yet. Look at (Y/n), he got back up right? He's still keeping his cool even if seeing the enemy charging up to attack him.

White Heart (Blanc): Damn it Thunder Tits! What if he doesn't have a plan! Then what?!

Purple Heart thinks back to what Guardian said as she takes a step forward to look at Guardian from a distance.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Let's hold on and keep watching... I feel he has a plan.

https://youtu.be/NZ5DqD9Ch_c

Guardian keeps gazing at the attack while thinking of a way to put an end to this in time. He then takes a deep breath and focuses his sheathe to move to his side on the left. The mechanical parts whirl and twist to move the sheathe to his left side as he then sheathes his blade, locking it into place and enters in a stance. Closing his eyes with the visor separating away from his face, he begins to channel his energy to his blade. Share Energy begins surround his entire body as he charges up for an attack. He takes in deep breaths as he focuses his power to his sheathe and blade to store up power. Dionix then begins to laugh feeling he has won.

Dionix: Have you finally given up!? If you have, it's too late to go back now! You've caused this upon yourself you little shit! Prepare to die as you witness my final attack! Lightning Rush!!

In a burst of speed, Dionix begins to rush towards Guardian who still has his eyes closed. He doesn't falter hearing his enemies words proclaiming his death. His sheath begins to glow the same energy as his aura and begins it gets brighter in the process. Everyone watching the fight is on edge as Dionix approaches Guardian, ready to strike the finishing blow.

Dionix: DIE YOU MISERABLE BRAT!!!

Guardian opens his eyes as a burning fire illuminates in them.

Guardian [(Y/n)]: No... It will be you who loses this fight Dionix... Flash Slice!!!

Upon drawing the blade from his sheath and preforming a quick draw, Dionix approaches within a meter before something happens next. Reflections of light can be seen after Guardian draws his sword out and Dionix begins to scream in pain from what is happening next. Slowing down time, Guardian is moving faster than light making each slice that happens not visible to the naked eye can see. Each slice cuts into Dionix as he is paralyzed slightly in the air. Upon finishing the high speed combo, Dionix then gets sent flying backwards due to the force of the attack as he screams in pain. Feeling the intense pain course through his body, Dionix opens a portal and flies through it to return to where his base is. With that, Guardian sheathes his blade and the sheath shifts as it moves back to its original position on his back while breathing hard.

Guardian [(Y/n)]: Think twice... *pant* when you mess with us again... *pant* you bastard...

After Guardian said that, he grunted as he glowed a light, reverting back to normal. He then fell to his knees and then fell forward to hit the ground. Purple Heart was the first to move to where (Y/n) was to check if he was still alive from doing all of that. When the other three CPUs arrived where she was at, they see (Y/n) breathing, but was in a lot of pain from what they can see.

Location: ???

A portal opens up as Dionix flies through it in pain as he begins to bleed out from the damage he took as he crashes into a wall. Mirasashiro and Dr. Kinja arrive to see what happened and soon see their master was badly damaged as his armor vanishes. Some medical staff arrive shortly and carry Dionix to the emergency room.

Kinja: My lord! What happened to you?!

Dionix breathes hard trying to let the pain settle in and get used to it.

Dionix: That... brat... (Y/n) (L/n)... the one with that blasted crystal... He managed... to do this to me...

Mira and Kinja were shocked to hear this knowing their leader was stronger than both of them combined.

Mirasashiro: Master... I told you the boy was trouble... How should we proceed with this though...?

Dionix took careful thought thinking of their next move.

Dionix: Just let me rest... I can't think... with all this noise...

Mira and Kinja bow giving respect to their master as they leave his room to rest.

Dionix: (Y/n)... (L/n)... You will pay for doing this to me... I will make your life... a living nightmare...! You will learn true fear...!!

Dionix makes his statement as it echos through the halls.

Twelve day later...

August 12, 20XX

Location: Planeptune Hospital.

Time: Afternoon.

In a room of the hospital, (Y/n) wakes up slowly having trouble seeing as the light blinded his vision. He waited a few minutes to regain his vision to see he was in a hospital room. He then looked around to see that there were some get well cards and some flowers next to the bed he laid on to his right. Trying to reach for one of the cards, he felt some weight on his left arm and looked to see what it was. To his surprise, it was Neptune who used his arm as a pillow while she slept. He smiled seeing Neptune was here waiting for when he woke up from his sleep. When he checked for what day it was, he had been asleep for twelve days.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Twelve days huh...? Can't be surprised by that... If memory serves me correctly... I did fight pretty hard against that man who called himself Dionix... But I wonder why I transformed into what I did? I never had any powers like that, but when I became "Guardian," I felt... Calmer, confident and more serious... Just what happened during that fight...?

He hears a yawn as Neptune begins to wake up and look tired from her nap. When she rubbed her eyes to get the sleep out of them. After waking up still half asleep, she looks towards (Y/n) as he waves towards Neptune with a smile.

(Y/n): Enjoy your nap Neptune?

After Neptune realized (Y/n) was awake, she jumped towards him and hugged him tightly, making him surprised in the process. He looked at her and smiled seeing that Neptune was happy to see him wake up. As Neptune hugged (Y/n) the door opened up to show Noire walking in and her becoming shocked seeing what happening.

Noire: Neptune! Get off of him! He's still recovering from his battle!

Neptune: No, I don't wanna. This is the first time he's woken up from then and I'm not going to let go any time soon.

Noire got mad at this and hits Neptune with a Harisen. This stuns Neptune for a few seconds as Noire gets Neptune off (Y/n).

Neptune: Nepu! Ow, that hurt you Tsundere loner! Could you be jealous that I was near (Y/n) perhaps?

Noire blushes madly and laughs to her self.

Noire: What? Me?! You must be joking! As if I would have a c-crush on an idiot like him! -mumbles- E-Even if I did a little.

(Y/n): You say something Noire?

Noire: Mind your own business perv!

(Y/n): For the last time! I am not a pervert!!

As time went on, the others began to show up as they gathered in the room. When Blanc had arrived, she gave a gift to (Y/n) and said it was one of her stories she made. (Y/n) smiled at the gift and thanked Blanc for sharing one of her books with him. When Histoire arrived, she greeted (Y/n) glad that he was okay and began to ask him questions.

(Y/n): You want to know what happened during the battle?

Histoire: Yes. What we saw that day was the first of seeing someone especially using the crystal to transform. Do you have any idea of what could have triggered it?

(Y/n) began to think hard at what happened during the fight that could have made him do what he did.

(Y/n): Well... I'm not really sure myself Histoire... I felt that I couldn't give up yet due to how many people will or will not know I'm dead. Because of that... I felt this surge of energy that I couldn't tap into before to hold that sphere back. But once I lost the remaining energy I could summon, I really thought I was dead for real at the time. Then, I saw a light within that darkness and it saved me. I felt warm and hope as I thought about my family and my friends. When I remembered why I'm still here, I remembered Dionix had attacked me and wanted me dead. Before I knew it, I had become what I called myself "Guardian."

Everyone listened to his story as each were surprised and glad he was able to survive from the attack that happened. Histoire then went to a more serious topic.

Histoire: Even though the energy did save you, I was able to get some tests done that involved with your link with the crystal (Y/n).

Everyone looked toward Histoire as she brought up one picture. It looked like a human anatomy in it.

Histoire: This is what your body was like before you entered our world and began training here to protect yourself. What I'm about to show you next is what happened after you transformed.

The next picture showed Share Energy within (Y/n)'s blood system as it went around his whole body. Everyone watched carefully while Histoire explained.

Histoire: Because of the energy transferred from Planeptune to the crystal, it was deeply concentrated. When it entered the crystal, the energy also entered through your body, making it possible to transform yourself to the form you used in the fight.

(Y/n): What does this mean Histoire?

Histoire: If we do nothing and let the energy stay, you will be able to access that form you now have to gain the upper hand in battles. Though... Due to the new power, there comes with a price with each time you transform and as well a side effect with the Share Energy in your body. When the others had brought you to the hospital, the doctors reported you were in a coma like state. Although you were only damaged, your head had hardly a concussion to which seemed rather odd.

Neptune: That does seem odd, but this is (Y/n) who we're talking about. So nothing is out of place when he's here.

(Y/n) looked at Neptune and then whacked her with a paper fan letting Histoire continue while Neptune rubbed her head.

Histoire: I had soon found out that the crystal had given a negative effect to (Y/n) after he changed back to normal. So you must remember each time you transform (Y/n), that after you turn back to normal to watch out for harmful effects that come with it. Depending what effect you're given, I do not know for each one is random... Now onto the second part which is the side effect... Due to absorbing a large amount of Share Energy, your body has changed greatly deep down.

Everyone looks confused at what Histoire was saying as (Y/n) checked his body for anything strange.

Histoire: You won't be able to see it physically for now (Y/n), but with time... You will see.

(Y/n): What do you mean Histoire? What do you mean "with time?"

Histoire: With all the Share Energy in you, it is halting your progress of aging. Meaning if the Share Energy stays within you, you will never grow old and live forever, but that doesn't mean you can still die in battle. Due to the other CPUs having their powers as well, they have lived for years here without aging.

This put a shock to (Y/n) hearing that he has become immortal due to his battle. His thoughts spin thinking about his family passing away while his sister grew old with out him.

Histoire: We can remove the energy from your body, but in doing so, you will lose you ability to access your transformation you used against that man calling himself Dionix. But with the energy gone, you will begin to age like normal again. The choice it yours if you want to either keep it or take it away, you earned this through your struggle in battle. The choice is yours alone.

(Y/n) thought hard as he began to think it over. On one hand, he could live forever, never get old with the others or return to being normal, lose his ability to transform and still grow up again. His thoughts soon go back to Dionix in his tough fight against him. He had struggled against him until that power came to him. It was only because of gaining that new power that he had a chance to do real damage then. Even then, he can still die in battle even if immortal. If it weren't for that power, he would be dead and Dionix would conquer Gamindustri and then other dimensions as well. Even his family and friends back home will die as well. No matter what outcome, (Y/n) can still die in battle, and everything will happen the same even if he didn't have the powers. Taking a deep breath, he comes to his conclusion.

(Y/n): If I can still die, it wouldn't matter if I return to normal anyway. If Dionix still had won, his next targets would be you girls, your world and my world with my family and friends, then other dimensions as well... If not for this power, I would be dead then and there. Although this will be hard to explain to my family back home... I'm gonna decide on keeping these powers. Though it will be tough getting used to being able to transform and live forever... At least I'll have friends that will help me through it with their experiences.

Histoire: So I take it you will keep them even with the big price to pay, correct? Once the energy settles within you, it will be impossible to remove it even if you decide to remove it later on. Are you absolutely sure?

(Y/n) nods his head being absolutely sure about his decision. Noire then places a hand on his shoulder and looks towards her, she lets him know everything will be okay with just a smile as he returns one back as well.

Neptune:  So another person joins the group of immoralities huh? Especially a male at that. Just what this series needed anyway.

Blanc: Even so, (Y/n) has been here for nearly two months now. The growth of his progress in fighting has grown very much since then. With the added transformation, he might even surpass our strength with that attack he did against that man.

The others think back to that fight where Guardian executed his Flash Slice as Dionix was being cut up badly with the flurry of slashes.

(Y/n): After using Flash Slice, I felt all my energy drain from me... And then I wake up here in the hospital. Boy was that a weird experience...

Noire: You're still alive and that's all that counts. You could have died you idiot! -mumbles- Even made me worried because of that. -stops mumbling- So, what now? We know who this person is, but no clue where he is at all.

(Insert ending Neptunia theme)

Neptune: Well I don't know about any of you, but I still have a wish I want granted.

(Y/n): Oh yeah. I did say the winner gets to have one wish granted huh? Well what did you decide upon Nep?

Neptune: Well... since I get any one wish. I want to go on a date with you (Y/n)! And since this is my wish, you can't escape from this encounter!

Everyone pauses for a moment before they all go into shock at what Neptune says. Noire and Blanc are the most surprised of them all with (Y/n) blushing madly with his jaw open at Neptune's claim. This makes (Y/n) over heat and pass out making the others worry while Noire chased Neptune around.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) This world just keeps getting more interesting the longer I stay here... (Y/n), what did you get yourself into..?

Chapter 9: End.

Skill Update:

Guardian mode: Utilizing the power of Share Energy in the crystal, (Y/n) is able to transform himself to what he called himself as Guardian. Guardian is more focused and serious when in battle, but when attacks are aimed at those not battling, he takes it upon himself to keep anyone that wasn't part of the fight and take the damage instead if possible to be safe. Although this form makes him stronger, he has one flaw when using it. After reverting back to his normal state, a random negative effect is placed on (Y/n) when it happens. I could be intense pain, feeling super cold, unable to move, and many more. He must take great caution when using it for it drains all the Share Energy stored up after use and needs to recharge after it ends. Transformation time length depends on the remaining energy left in the crystal.

EXE Move: Flash Slice (Guardian only): Guardian's most powerful attack up to date, the Flash Slice. Utilizing his energy, he stores it up to his blade and sheathe to charge it up. Upon drawing the sword from the sheath, time slows down for Guardian as he make a flurry of slashes to his opponent, faster than the eye can see. Although this move is very powerful and deadly, it will use all the energy Guardian has and force him to revert back to normal form again and gain a negative effect in the process.
