(Y/n)'s point of view.

Monday, October 31, 20XX

Location: (L/n) Residence.

Time: Morning.

I heard the alarm going off and woke up from my sleep because of it. I tossed and turned to try and ignore it, but it was futile with needing to be switched off manually. I yawned and sat up, hanging my legs over the side of my bed to switch my alarm off. I rub my eyes to get rid of the tired feeling I had and looked at the time. The time was currently reading eight a.m. in the morning. I wasn't pressed for time in any way what so ever. After the whole fiasco that had occurred at the school a couple weeks back, it was destroyed because of the fight that took place between me and the CPUs. With the school destroyed, teachers decided to close school activities for a while until they can get some classrooms built again. So for the time being, we're getting assignments mailed to us to work on until then. When we had told my mother what happened, I could tell she wanted to put me into a strangle hold from being told that, but restrained herself after all that had happened. I was still trying to comprehend about myself with I had learned as I placed a hand on my crystal that I've kept around my neck for months now.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Out of all things... to gain that bastard's energy and even look like him... It had to deal with me dying as a damn child... What a frickin pain...

(Insert To the beginning by Kalafina)

I stared at my crystal for fifteen minutes until I heard a knock at my door. I jumped slightly in surprise from the sound as I was knocked out of my own thoughts. The one standing there was Vert, leaning against my door while looking at me. I sighed as I ran my fingers through my hair to relieve some stress I had built up.

(Y/n): Hey Vert...

Vert: Hello (Y/n). How are you feeling?

Vert asked me that question even though I was still stressed somewhat. I clutched my crystal and placed the palm of my hand to my forehead. I didn't know how to answer Vert, but I knew I had to come up with something at least.

(Y/n): I don't know Vert... After what happened on Wednesday a couple weeks back, I'm still shaken up from the whole passing out on Monday. Losing consciousness on Tuesday after going berserk, and then... I'm... I'm so shaken up from this Vert... I don't even know what's happening to me anymore...

I covered my eyes and wanted to begin crying. I felt like with the dreams, the hallucinations, the weird phantom pain I got from battling the Ancient Dragon and the empty void feeling I had after fighting the CPUs. I was beginning to lose my mind with all that's happened in a short time. I could feel some weight shift on my bed and felt a pair of arms wrap around me. I look to see Vert pull me closer to her, resting my head on her chest and feeling her stroke the back of my head. I could feel... my stress and my worries slipping away.

Vert: We will figure what is going on with you (Y/n). Don't be afraid of anything that might scare you. We only wish to help you if we can. But gaining the help needed works both ways. One side where friends and family help someone they care for and their friend who is experiencing these things. I know everything that happened has scared you, or even frightened you. If there is one thing and one thing only: We won't force you if you aren't ready. No matter what, we'll help you. Even if it takes some time.

I could feel compassion in Vert's words while she held me close. I could feel the softness in her voice, calming me down the more she talked to me. When she pulled me away from and rested a hand on my shoulder, she gave the warmest smile she could give me.

Vert: Just like you make promises to us, I promise that we will figure this out.

Hearing Vert say that, brought hope to me. I would be lying if it didn't bring a smile to my lips from what she said to me either.

(Y/n): Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't worry about this... Everything will be fine. Thanks Vert.

Vert: You're welcome (Y/n). Now, let's head downstairs to get something to eat.

(Y/n): Now that, I can piggy back on for a plan.

We both smiled and got up from my bed to head downstairs. Upon arriving down into the living room, I could smell some cooked food that made me drool at the scent of it. From what I could smell being cooked, it was eggs, bacon, pancakes and hash browns. Vert nudged my shoulder and snapped my thoughts out from the smell of the food.

Vert: Smelling the food may be good, but it doesn't beat the taste. Come on, let's go get ourselves a plate.

(Y/n): No, no. Let me get it for ya. You go sit down Vert.

Vert: You sure? I'm quite capable of getting a plate myself.

(Y/n): Yeah. Just let this fool do something nice, okay?

Vert looked at me, nodded her head and went to sit down at the couch with Blanc and Noire. I could see the two work on some school work that was mailed to us. Even when Blanc and Noire aren't being CPUs in their respective nations, they take their work seriously when needed. Even if it's school work for that matter. Neptune could be said otherwise... I could see her playing video games and make weird body motions while playing. Since it was a Monday, Abby must have went to school and my father going to work. I met with my mom in the kitchen as I got two plates and placed them on the counter.

Iris: Morning (Y/n). How did you sleep?

(Y/n): I slept okay mom. I just... have a lot on my mind is all...

My mom became quiet at that time and avoided looking at me. She probably still felt guilty with what happened on Wednesday a couple weeks back. It was a shocking and worried day for everyone. Mostly for me for learning what happened when I was an infant. I wanted to say something to my mother about it, but she decided to go into the living room to join the girls. I sighed feeling sad and disappointed in my actions that took place that day. I should be the one feeling guilty here. I had ran from my friends, ran from my mother and ran from those I love and fought against them... even when they wanted to help me.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Yup... Never going to live that down (Y/n)... Running from the help of your friends and family? Damn it...

I sighed and picked up a plate to begin putting some food on it. When I turned to my left, my eyes widened and I could feel my heart beginning to race. Not race in a happy mood, but that of being afraid. What I was seeing, was Ivory standing there with a smile on her face as she looked at me. Ivory began to approach me, but I began to back away from her. I could feel sweat pouring down my face and my skin paling up from this. I began to feel lightheaded, as I dropped the plate and fell to my knees holding my head in pain. The plate crashed onto the ground and I could hear a few feet rushing to where I was. I look to see who it was and saw it was Vert, Noire and my mother.

Vert: (Y/n)! Are you okay?!

Iris: Oh my god... Look at his skin...

Noire: It's like he's seen a ghost...

I look back to where Ivory used to be and saw that she had disappeared. When I regained my senses and felt the pain in my head go away, I stood up and looked around the kitchen. But no matter what I did, Ivory had disappeared like the wind. I felt a hand tap my shoulder and turned quickly with a surprised look on my face. The person who was behind me was my mother, who had a worried look plastered on her face.

Iris: (Y/n)... Are you okay...? You look so pale and you're sweating like crazy.

I held my hand to my head feeling the sweat I produced. I wiped it off on my shirt, went to the sink to wash my face and dry it off with a towel. I could see some of my color returned to my skin while I felt my heart slowing down. I blinked a few times to process what happened and just wanted to deny it entirely. I had saw Ivory like I had did when I was a kid many years ago. Ivory, in that same dress like she did and with that smile of hers. Ivory's hair was in the same way I had saw her even when I saw her in my dreams recently. but seemed the pigtails seem... Shorter than I imagined. Everything else was all the same from then to now. I felt a someone grasp my right hand and I looked to see Noire as she was concerned about me.

Noire: Are you okay...?

I know Noire and my friends are trying to help me out in wanting me to be okay, but I need to think about what I've seen first before I can even explain it to them as well. I held Noire's hand back and gave her the lightest smile I could give.

(Y/n): Y-Yeah... I'm just probably fatigue is all from working at Jonny's is all.

Noire: Are you sure?

(Y/n): Yeah. Sorry to worry you like that Noire...

Noire: Well, there is one thing you can do to not make me worry.

(Y/n): And that being...?

Noire guided me into the living room and sat me down in the chair.

Noire: Learn when you can do stuff and when to actually rest. Right now, I want you to rest. Okay?

I was about to say something, until I saw her pull out the harisen fan. That shut my yap as I reclined on the chair. Noire put the harisen fan away and went to go sit down with Blanc to continue working on their homework. Even when I had offered Vert to bring her food, it had reversed around to me after what happened.

(Y/n): Sorry Vert...

Vert shook her head and smiled at me.

Vert: Don't be (Y/n). It's okay. Just rest for now. Okay?

I looked at Vert and nodded my head. Vert went to go get a plate of her own while I began to eat the food she brought to me. A few hours pass as the time now read eleven a.m. The doorbell rang and caught some of our attentions.

Neptune: I got it!

Neptune ran to the door and opened it up to reveal (F/n) and Emma.

Neptune: Oh, hey there you two. How's it hanging?

(F/n): We just got done doing some school work for the day and thought we come check up on (Y/n).

Emma: Yeah, how's he doing?

I could see Neptune bring in (F/n) and Emma as they sat down at the couch with Noire and Blanc. Neptune took to sitting on the arm rest of the comfy chair I was sitting in.

Neptune: Well, besides having a dizzy episode earlier this morning, he looks pretty much okay.

(F/n): Dizzy episode??

Noire: Yeah. Earlier today, (Y/n) was in the kitchen about to grab some breakfast for Vert. All of a sudden, we heard a plate crashing on the ground, breaking apart and saw (Y/n) was pale like a ghost.

(F/n): Yikes... That's... wow...

Emma: What could have happened?

Feeling that I didn't want this topic to continue further, I jumped into the conversation.

(Y/n): Like I told Noire, it's probably just fatigue from working a lot at Jonny's. I'm fine, seriously. If anything, I can still beat this idiot in a round of rock-paper-scissors if I wanted.

(F/n): What!? What did you say!??

I laughed as I watched (F/n) trying to struggle out of Emma's hold while (F/n) reached with his arms to strangle me.

(F/n): I'm going to strangle this bitch!!

Emma: Will you calm down?? (Y/n)'s only joking around...!

I could see Noire sigh and look towards me with an annoyed look on her face.

Noire: Of all times... You have to do that...?

(Y/n): What? I get a kick seeing (F/n) spaz out. Is it such a crime seeing him react like this?

Neptune: That's what I always do to Noire by judging her on how many friends she has.

Neptune said that too freely as Noire gained a tick mark on her head. While Noire tried to reach out to grab Neptune, Blanc began holding Noire back by getting her into a full nelson.

Noire: Grrrr!! Neptune! When I get my hands on you...!

Neptune: Yeah, just like that! *laughs*

Blanc: Not helping Neptune...

After a good ten minutes pass, (F/n) and Noire calmed down and regained their composure and sat back down. (F/n) then pulled out a pamphlet and tossed it to me. I caught it and looked at it to see it was a baseball schedule for this season. There seemed to be a game that would be on in the evening.

(Y/n): Okay, what's this?

(F/n): Didn't you read it dumbass? That's a baseball schedule.

(Y/n): And what about it?

Emma: (F/n) thought it would be fun to go to a ball game this evening at three.

Neptune: Why this one in particular?

As if on cue, (F/n) jumped up and had both arms raised into the air.

(F/n): Women's division: Major League Baseball!!

Everyone that was currently in the room except (F/n) gave him an annoyed look from him yelling that out. I sighed as I asked the next question.

(Y/n): Okay... Why so ecstatic about today or for this game?

(F/n): I thought it would be something nice to go to is all to enjoy our day. Plus, with what happened to you earlier today, I thought it would be a good idea to get your mind off of your worries. Come on man. Are you in or are you out?

I began to think about it, but then felt a hand rest on my shoulder to see Neptune.

Neptune: I think it's a good idea. You can't balance your karma out by gaining only negative karma. Why don't we try balancing that good side out today, hmm?

I could see Neptune give me an honest smile from her. Seeing her smile made me chuckle and bring a smile of my own.

(Y/n): Yeah. Let's go.

Third person view.

Dimension: Hyper dimension.

Location: Dionix's base, training room.

In the training room of Dionix's base, a person in armor could been seen sitting down with their hands on their knees. The person was taking slow deep breaths on focusing their thoughts. A sword laid across the person in its sheath. Lights lit up on the eyes of the mask while the figure reached out for the weapon in front of them. Taking the sword into their hands, the person stood up and unsheathed it to get into a stance.

From six circular panels that were on the floor, rose six robot like machines that had different types of weapons. One holding a sword, nunchucks, sais, a bow and arrow, bow staff and twin blades. Each robot got into a stance given the role of what weapon it held as their target was the figure in front of them. The voice of the individual seemed to have a voice modulator, disguising their voice to not be revealed.

???: Begin.

On command, the robots wielding the single sword and bow staff charged in on the armored person. Both close in on their target and brought their weapons up to then swing down to attack. Shifting their stance slightly, the armored figure blocks both attacks with the side of the sword they were wielding. The individual pushed up against the two robots weapons and kicked the sword wielder back. The bow staff robot took a few more swings at their target, but dodged each swing that was made at them. The individual then dodged one more time and countered by delivering a blade thrust to the head of their opponent, shutting it down from the fatal hit it took. Refocusing on the sword wielding robot, they exchanged swings and countered each other. While the two did that, the nunchuck wielding robot began to rush in on their target to attack from behind. In the reflection of the sword the armored figure uses, they are able to see the robot approaching from behind during the sword clash that was going on.

???: Not good enough.

Making a counter against the sword wielding robot, the sword gets knocked up into the air and the armored person slices the robot twice by swinging diagonally from the left and then from the right. This caused the robot to fall apart, giving the fighter the chance to focus their attention to their next opponent. In the observation room, Dionix and Dr. Kinja were observing the fight that was going on as Kinja checked some stuff on a piece of paper.

Dionix: How is the test with the armor going for you Doctor? Is this performance test going well?

Kinja: Yes, to some extent so far. The armor is doing a good job at increasing our friend's performance abilities. Reflexes, strength, speed and defense. Plus, with those one on one training sessions you had them go through, our friend has built a muscle memory on how to attack and take in pain.

Back at the fight, the armored fighter got their arm caught in a trap with the nunchuck robot and couldn't move their right arm. The arm currently held the sword the individual was using. The robot used its free hand to then begin punching the fighter repeatedly in the face. The fighter grunted with each hit made against them, but upon the next punch, the robot's fist was caught by the armored fighter's hand.

???: My turn.

Generating power into their arm, the fighter begins to slowly crush the fist of the robot, until it was broken beyond repair. The fighter then gripped the neck of the robot and began to squeeze  it, where it began to struggle on trying to get free. Kinja made some notes on the performance while, Dionix looked amused by how the fighter decided to act.

Kinja: As you can see sir, I was able to replicate how your counterpart, (Y/n). Our friend can increase their strength to get stronger by using the suit's energy. The suit runs on a supply that can last for 4-5 hours on a single charge, depending on how our friend here uses the suit. Our friend can conserve energy by either turning off the suit or put the suit into a conservation mode, while still using a limited supply of energy. Once the suit runs out of energy or is destroyed in battle, they will have to use what they can to survive the battle or retreat back to here.

Continuing with the fight, the armored fighter broke the neck of the robot. The neck was crushed so bad, the body fell down to the ground. Three robots were left as each wielded sais, bow and arrows and twin blades. Getting into a comfortable stance, the armored fighter chuckled at how the fight was going.

???: You're nothing to me. Come on!

Feeling threatened, the robots each got into a stance. This indicated they were ready to fight against the armored individual. The robot wielding the sais charged in first with the bow and arrow robot prepared an arrow to shoot with. As the sai wielding robot closes the gap between it and its target, they begin to clash with their weapons. The robot twirls the sais around in its hands and make quick thrusts and slashes while the armored fighter blocked each attack made. An arrow flies by the two, but doesn't gain the attention from the enemy. They were busy trying to take one out and wasn't worried about the ranged fighter yet. The robot then uses its sais and catches the sword swing of its opponent. In a quick motion, it turns its hands to pull the sword away from its enemy to get them unarmed and tosses it to the side. A few arrows fly through the air to see them fly closer to their target. Quickly gaining an idea, the armored fighter uses the robot opponent as a shield to block the arrow shots with its body. Four robots were down, leaving the twin blade user and the bow and arrow. The fighter tossed the dead robot to the side and recovered their blade and chuckled.

???: Once I'm through with you two, I'll be able to move on to my real target.

The armored fighter then brings the sword they held to their side and begins to charge in. The bow and arrow robot begins to fire arrows at its opponent, but couldn't land the shot due to the reflexes its opponent had. After the distance between the two closed up, the armored fighter sliced through the bow using robot in half from the mid-section down. The robot deactivates and falls down as the top half falls down one side and the bottom the other way. The last enemy left to fight was the twin blade robot. Both combatants got into a stance and stared each other down.

???: Last one left. I will not lose to a simple robot.

In the next ten seconds, both charge towards each other and exchanged attacks and defenses. The two jump into the air and continue to clash with each blade connecting to the other or delivering a simple cut or slash to their opponent. With a decisive strike, the armored fighter knocks the twin blades the robot was using out of its hands and gets dealt a slash down the middle from the head down. The armored fighter lands down into a crouched position, while the robot, now split in two, fell down to the ground with a thud. The armored fighter stood back up and begins to sheath their blade and make it disappear. Dionix and Kinja exit the viewing room and approach the person that demonstrated their skills in the fight.

Dionix: Impressive work. How are you feeling?

The armored fighter hits a button on their right arm as a deactivation sound could be heard, indicating the suit was now conserving energy.

???: I feel great! I feel like I can take on a hundred men or even a tank with this suit!

Kinja: Yes. That suit is a modified version of what I had used in a fight I had with the CPU Candidates. Though, yours is able to use energy in a simple manner to enhance your strength and defense when needed. Your blade has been created to channel your energy into as well to create projectiles in a form of energy. The suit is meant to help give you the same advantages as (Y/n) does to give you an equal fighting chance with him.

???: Heh, shouldn't be too hard. So, when can I head out?

Dionix: Don't be rash on jumping into the fight so soon. Rest up by recharging the suit and relaxing your muscles. Once you have relaxed, then you can head out and do as you wish. When you do go though, use this modified device to search for a Share Energy source on Earth. It will lead you too (Y/n).

Kinja walks over and gives a device to Discord.

???: *scoffs* Fine.

The armored fighter then begins to head to where they can recharge their suit and rest up. Kinja stands next to Dionix and talks with him.

Kinja: Are you sure we can trust this person?

Dionix: Our friend here wishes for the same goal as much as we do Doctor. Using what drives our friend here will help us in our plans. Plans that also include about (Y/n)...

Kinja: Well, if they are going to be working for us, what should the code name be for them then?

Dionix smiled maliciously and looked at Kinja as he gave his answer.

Dionix: If (Y/n) is the person who wishes to bring hope and peace to those around him. Our friend's name, will be Discord.

(Y/n)'s point of view.

Dimension: Earth

Location: Baseball stadium.

Time: Evening.

The sound of metal connecting against something could be heard as a baseball soars up into the sky. The crowd could be heard cheering seeing the ball soar through the air. The ball flies close to a baseball player, but they miss the catch, allowing the runner to safely secure first base safely. It was currently the sixth inning with our home town team, The Tigers, being behind by one point, making the score to be 6-5. Currently batting was the challenging team, The Hunting Pumas, while the Tigers were out on the field. My friends seemed to be enjoying themselves due to (F/n)'s idea to enjoy a ballgame today at the stadium. My mom couldn't come with us, but gave us some Yen to use to buy the tickets with. She even told us to take Abby with us so she can enjoy the game too. We couldn't afford high class tickets for a personal booth, but being up close to the action was still fun. I could see Neptune stand up and saw her waving her arms wildly as some of the popcorn would hop out of a paper bag.

Neptune: Come on! Hit it over here! Home run right over here!

Noire: Neptune! Sit back down! All you'll catch is a foul ball! We're in the foul zone!

Noire pulls Neptune back down onto her seat. I could see Neptune stick her tongue at Noire out of annoyance from her seating Neptune back down in her seat.

Neptune: Meanie! You're killing my joy here you loner!

Noire: I wouldn't have to do that if you didn't act like such a kid! And stop calling me a loner!

Emma: Isn't Neptune a kid from how she looks anyway?

Neptune: See! Emma gets me! I can count on her to know how I feel!

Some of us sighed from what was going on. Even when we're out in public, our shenanigans still happen. But it wouldn't be us if we still didn't act how we usually did.

(Y/n): Just let it go... We're here to have fun today. Let's just enjoy ourselves and watch the game, okay?

Everyone seemed to comply and kept watching the game progress through. The coach made a switch on who was pitching as the next person up to pitch was the main star of the Tigers, Minori Kushieda. She had been on the the Tigers team for ten years straight and actually lives in the town I live at. Though, being a superstar like her, it must be tough to get around without being noticed at times... Her pitches were fast and unpredictable when needed. Throw after throw, each batter struck out and made the teams switch on who's batting. I then heard a sound of a couple people cheering, though they were voices I slightly remember.

???: Go Minorin!

???: Yeah! Go get 'em Kushieda!

I look over to my right and see to my surprisement, were Ryuuji and Taiga Takasu. I could also see Sophie was with them as she was giggling and was cheering Minori on as well. This piqued my curiosity and got me to stand up. I was about to get out of this row and head to where the Takasu family was. I then felt a hand grab my own, making me I look back to see Blanc looking up at me with a questioning look on her face.

Blanc: Where are you going (Y/n)?

(Y/n): I recognize some people over there, I thought I go say hi to them.

Blanc: May I ask who they are?

I nodded my head and began to tell Blanc.

(Y/n): So, remember the building fire that happened a month ago?

Blanc: The one that was on the news that you went into?

(Y/n): Yeah. The family I met that day is over there. I thought I go check up on them and see how they're doing.

Blanc: Oh, okay. May I come with you? I would like to meet them.

Abby: I want to come too!

(Y/n): Okay, sure. Let's go.

Telling the others that Blanc, Abby and myself will be right back, we head to where the Takasu family was.

(Y/n): Hey there you three, how are ya today?

The family looks at me as Sophie gives a big smile towards me.

Sophie: Mr. Hero!

Ryuuji: Oh? You're that kid that saved our daughter from the fire. Your name is (Y/n), right?

(Y/n): Yup. That's my name, don't wear it out.

Taiga: This is a surprise. What are you doing here?

(Y/n): Well, I was hanging out with some of my friends and heard you three cheering the pitcher for the Tigers on. What a coincidence meeting up here.

Ryuuji: Actually, we're here because our friend Kushieda said she was going to be playing with her team here today.

(Y/n): Oh, really? You're friends with the pitcher?

Taiga: Yeah. The three of us went to school together.

Our chat was going nicely from what I can see. The family notice Blanc and Abby and wondered who they were.

Taiga: Hmm? Who are your friends?

(Y/n): I was about to get to that. Ryuuji, Taiga, Sophie. This is Blanc, she's my girlfriend and this little monster here is Abby, my little sister.

Abby gave a smile and waved at the family, while Blanc gave a smile of her own as well.

Blanc: It's nice to meet you.

Ryuuji: Nice to meet you too Blanc.

Abby went over to Sophie and from what I could see, they seem to be enjoying each other's company very quickly. We talked for what felt like fifteen minutes while the game was happening. From what I learned, the family and their friend, Minori, went to the same school I was going to now. They were surprised to hear that the school mysteriously got destroyed somehow, but I knew the truth more than anything really. After the seventh inning began, Blanc, Abby and myself stayed a little longer before deciding it was time to regroup with the others.

(Y/n): Come on Abby. We need to get back with the others.

Abby: Awe... But I want to play with Sophie more...

(Y/n): Don't worry Abby. We'll work something out and set up a play date. Okay?

Abby could trust me, knowing I wasn't one to break a promise to her. Abby nodded her head while I rubbed her hair with a smile on my face. I look to the Takasu family say farewell to them for now.

(Y/n): It was nice seeing you again.

Ryuuji: The same could be said for us. Sophie can't stop thinking about the time you saved her really. Mentioning you having something like powers and all that.

I laughed slightly at this making light of it with Blanc to help out. Abby gave a questioning look feeling confused why we were laughing.

(Y/n): Kids and their imaginations. Once they see some action, their thoughts go wild.

Ryuuji: I guess.

Taiga: It was nice seeing you again (Y/n). It was also a pleasure to meet your girlfriend and little sister too.

(Y/n): Thanks. Well, we'll catch you some other time perhaps.

Ryuuji: Right. Take care.

After leaving the Takasu family, Blanc, Abby and myself began to head back to where our friends were. On the way there, I saw something that caught my eye and looked towards it. My eyes went wide seeing Ivory from a distance down a path. I rubbed my eyes from feeling them burn, but when I looked to see where Ivory was, she was gone again. I felt a hand touch my shoulder and jumped from the surprise to see Blanc and Abby looking at me. I could see some worry in Blanc's eyes from how I was acting.

Blanc: You okay (Y/n)?

(Y/n): Y-Yeah... Go on ahead to where our friends are with Abby. I'm going to go use the restroom real quick to wash my face. I must have had something spicy and got it in my eyes.

Blanc looked at me for a few seconds, but trusted in what I said and nodded.

Blanc: Well, hurry on back once you do that. Okay?

(Y/n): Yeah, I will. Go enjoy the game with the others. I'll be back soon enough.

After separating from Blanc, I head straight for the bathroom to go wash my face.

Third person view.

After (Y/n) gets to the bathroom, he walks over to one of the sinks to fill his hands with some water and splash it in his face. He repeats the same process a few more times and looks at himself in the mirror. (Y/n) could see his face and the scars he got from battling the Chaos CPUs at the underwater base. What troubled him was that whenever he saw his face, he couldn't stop thinking about Dionix. Dionix was part of the Shinzuyaku Clan, the energy in the crystal revived (Y/n) from Dionix's own power, the death of the clan was caused by Dionix and many more. It hurt (Y/n) that everything that's happened began with the crystal he had on up until now. (Y/n) looked at the crystal and held it in his hand.

(Y/n): One day... Dionix will just be a memory... Keep it together (Y/n)... Keep these hallucinations under control for now...

???: Hallucinations? I heard you were crazy, but actually hearing you say you're going crazy yourself is just hilarious.

This surprised (Y/n) as a dark portal open up behind him to see a figure in dark armor walk out of it. Though, it wasn't Dionix that appeared, it was someone new (Y/n). (Y/n) turned around to face the individual and wondered who they were.

(Y/n): Who are you?

???: Just someone looking to test this armor out. My "employer" made this suit custom made for me.

(Y/n): "Employer?" I take it you were sent by Dionix with help from Kinja to help fight against me?

???: Wow, way to jump to the chase, but yes. I was sent by your good pal Dionix to test this suit out. Dr. Kinja was willing enough to make this suit just for me.

Looking at the suit, (Y/n) gave a frown and could tell the suit was something close to Kinja's tech.

(Y/n): I'm not good pals with Dionix in any way. I'm not even his friend at all. Now talk, who the hell are you?! What do you want from me?!

Discord: My name is Discord. What I want, is your life!

Pulling an arm back, the now named individual, Discord, fires an energy bolt from their hand. (Y/n) defends himself by raising an Energy Shield to block it. Within the smoke, Discord rushed up to (Y/n) and punched his shield. The punch pushed (Y/n) backwards into the sinks, breaking upon impact to spray water from them. (Y/n) began to retaliate by charging in to throw some punches, but each one was blocked or countered. Filling their fist with energy, Discord punched (Y/n) in the stomach to hit him to the ceiling and then grab his leg to toss him into some bathroom stalls. Each stall breaks upon impact (Y/n) crashed through until his body bounced off the wall to lay on the floor. (Y/n) got up slowly onto one knee, trying to catch his breath.

(Y/n): Oh man... I can tell this is going to be very bothersome... What a pain.

With the others, it was five minutes before (Y/n)'s fight began. Blanc and Abby had returned to the group to continue watching the ball game. Vert noticed (Y/n) didn't return with Blanc and Abby, prompting her to ask where (Y/n) was.

Vert: Blanc, where's (Y/n)?

Blanc: (Y/n)'s currently in the restroom washing his face. Said something about getting something spicy in his eyes.

Noire looked at Blanc curiously seeming something was wrong with that statement.

Noire: Wait, you said getting something spicy in his eyes?

Blanc: Yeah?

Noire: Does anyone remember (Y/n) eating something with a hot ingredient in the mix?

The others thought for a second and remember that (Y/n) only ate a couple hotdogs when the game was going on. Other than that, (Y/n) didn't eat anything hot or spicy.

Emma: Then why was he rubbing his eyes then...?

Vert: (Y/n) washed his face after something spooked him today... It could have been something he saw I think.

Noire was confused by this and looked at Vert.

Noire: But, we were there with (Y/n) when he was in the kitchen. We would have seen something as well if that was the case.

Vert shook her head. Vert grew a serious face with what she was thinking.

Vert: That's the thing... Remember the two students from the festival when we were looking for (Y/n)?

Neptune: You mean the ones that saw (Y/n) acting weird that day? We even found him passed out on the roof.

Vert: Correct Neptune. They said (Y/n) was wanting them to stop someone. But they said that there was no one there except them and (Y/n).

The others began to put the pieces together with what Vert was saying. Something like that back on that Monday and then happening again at the house and now the stadium, seemed to be linked.

Blanc: If he did see something that day, he could be seeing something now.

Noire: Your right. (Y/n) did looked spooked today seeing something, and now it happened again. We need to go find him and talk to him about this.

Neptune: Aww man... Can't we wait until the game is over first?

Emma sweats hearing Neptune acting like this.

Emma: Isn't (Y/n) your boyfriend Neptune...? Shouldn't you be worried for him right now...?

(F/n): Not to mention (Y/n)'s our friend too...

Neptune: Oh, come on. (Y/n) should be fine right now. Right?

To prove Neptune wrong, an explosion could be heard with a yell being placed in the mix. Flying out onto the field, (Y/n) was seen with his arms up in a form of a guard. (Y/n) landed on the ground with his back and slid backwards, bringing the ground up from the landing force given. (Y/n) had some scratches from taking some hits already in a struggle. Minori soon ran over to (Y/n) to see if he was okay.

Minori: Whoa! Hey kid, are you okay??

(Y/n): Run...

Minori: Huh?

(Y/n): I said run damn it!

Flying out where (Y/n) came from, Discord was diving down to (Y/n) at a fast pace with their fist extended towards (Y/n). (Y/n) got up quickly and channeled his energy to push Minori away from him at a safe distance. (Y/n) then focused his energy to his right hand to punch towards Discord. Both of their fists collide as a shock-wave was made from the impact. People who were watching this had a look of shock and surprise seeing what was happening. With (Y/n)'s friends though, they were worried about who was attacking (Y/n).

(F/n): Who the hell is that!?

Noire: We don't know!

Neptune: We never seen this person before! Could they be part of Dionix's entourage?

Vert: Looking at the fight, it would seem so.

With (Y/n), both he and Discord separated for a second to then jump toward each other once more. Both of them were sending punches and kicks at times to try and get a hit off each other. Discord threw a punch towards (Y/n), only to be blocked to the side by (Y/n)'s forearm. (Y/n) then executed a spin kick, as it connects to Discord's head to stun them slightly. After stunning Discord, (Y/n) channeled his energy to his arms to grab Discord by their arm to begin spin around. Holding tightly, (Y/n) continued to spin Discord around, until he lets go of Discord and sends them into a wall. Minori was still close by seeing the fight that was happening and got excited seeing the fight happening.

Minori: Whoa! Is this some sort of fight?! How are you getting that kind of glow around your arms?! This is sooo coool!

(Y/n) looked towards Minori with a serious look. This made her jump slightly from the sudden glance.

(Y/n): What are you doing?! You need to get the hell out of here! It's not safe to be here right now!

Minori: Oh, come on! To be fair, you and your friend interrupted the ballgame today.

(Y/n): That person is NOT my friend! Trust me when I say this; but you REALLY need to get to a safe distance right now!!

Minori: And why should I??

Looking back towards Discord, both (Y/n) and Minori could see Discord charging up energy into their hand. When they fire, three blasts emanate from their palm and head towards both (Y/n) and Minori. In the stands, Taiga and Ryuuji could see the events unfold from what they were seeing.

Taiga: Minorin!!

Acting fast, (Y/n) heads towards Minori and quickly sweeps her off her feet to jump out of the blast range aimed at them. Landing near Minori's team, (Y/n) set Minori down quickly and got in front of her with his back towards her. From seeing Discord fire those energy blasts, the audience sitting at the stands and up in the private booths began to panic and run for the exits. Discord fired some more shots where (Y/n) was as he generated an Energy Shield to block the shots to protect Minori and her baseball team. Taiga and Ryuuji began heading towards where Minori was, while Ryuuji carried Sophie in his arms. On the way, they met up with (Y/n)'s friends as they too were heading the same way.

Taiga: Blanc! You heading to where (Y/n) is??

Blanc: Yeah, I can guess you two are also considering where Minori is located?

Ryuuji: That's right. What the hell is going on here?!

Noire: This is no time to explain! Right now, we need to get over to them quickly!

Back where (Y/n) is, Minori's team came up to her from being worried, but Minori had a different emotion going on, being excited beyond imagining.

Minori: Oh man! Did you girls just see that?! That was soooooo coooooool!

Tigers teammate: Minori! You could have died!!

Minori: But I didn't though~

Tigers teammate: That's not the point Minori...!

(Y/n) looked back and had an angry look on his face.

(Y/n): Look! Stop arguing and get the hell out of here! With you people here, I can't focus damn it!

Minori got on her feet and looked at (Y/n).

Minori: Oh no I won't! I have questions here pal!

(Y/n): Ask them later if you find me again! Right now, I can't defend you and fight this bastard at the same time! Get the hell out of here!

Minori: And I told you, no I won't!

(Y/n)'s group, followed by Taiga and Ryuuji, arrive to where (Y/n) and Minori are. Taiga ran up to Minori and gave her a big hug.

Taiga: Minorin! Are you okay?!

Minori: Oh, hey Taiga. Yeah, I'm fine. It's thanks to that kid there.

Minori points to (Y/n), already knowing what happened earlier. The CPUs stand next to (Y/n) as they look toward where Discord was.

Noire: Who is this (Y/n)?

(Y/n): No clue. All I know is, they work for Dionix. Said their name was Discord.

Neptune: Discord? Are they not able to keep a good tune on an instrument?

(Y/n): This isn't funny right now Neptune...

(Y/n) looks over towards (F/n) and Emma to catch their attention.

(Y/n): (F/n), Emma. Get these people out of here. Vert and Noire will help cover you two and the others until you're all out of the stadium. If you find anyone else, get them to come with you. While that happens, Blanc and Neptune will be with me to handle Discord. When you get done with your task, get back here ASAP.

(F/n) and Emma: Okay!

Noire: We'll make sure they're safe until then.

Vert: Be careful you three.

Blanc, Neptune and (Y/n) gave a head nod to let Vert know they would be fine until then. Just before Ryuuji and Taiga left with the others, Sophie cried out to (Y/n) real quick.

Sophie: Go get that meanie Mr. Hero!

Looking at Sophie, Taiga and Ryuuji had a confused look and looked at (Y/n). They remember the day (Y/n) saved Sophie. That was the first time Sophie called (Y/n) "Mr. Hero" to her. When they put the pieces together, both of them came to a conclusion of how (Y/n) saved Sophie that day. Ryuuji looked towards where (Y/n) was at to see him continue on looking at Discord. Ryuuji decided to call out to (Y/n).

Ryuuji: (Y/n)! I don't know who you are entirely, but if it weren't for you back then, Sophie wouldn't be here today... If we meet again, know that your secret is safe with us...!

(Y/n) looked towards Ryuuji with a surprised look and gave a thumbs up, signalling he was happy about that. With that done, the group being protected by Noire and Vert began to run for where the nearest exit was. With (Y/n), Blanc and Neptune, they stood next to each other and kept their eyes trained on Discord.

Discord: So I get to fight the CPU of Lowee, the CPU of Planeptune and even my boss's worst threat? Do you seriously think you three can take me on?

(Y/n): Cocky people like you don't know where to put your mouth at when underestimating people. Can't you see we have you out numbered by two people?

Discord: Ah... But you see, here's the thing... You're math is wrong.

Thrusting his hand forward, some energy in a form of a chain raced towards (Y/n) and wrapped around him in an instant. This surprised (Y/n), Neptune and Blanc from what they're seeing.

Discord: I'm more only out numbered by one!

(Insert Pray by Haruka Chisuga)

(Y/n) yelled as he pulled away from both Neptune and Blanc by Discord's chains. (Y/n) was then tossed over to where a wall was. Upon impact, the energy chains bound (Y/n) to the wall as he began to struggle, but couldn't break free.

(Y/n): What the hell are these things!?

Discord: You're gonna hang on that wall for a while. I was told everything you could do. And even knowing about how these girls can transform. Without their supplier, my fight will be much easier now.

Discord looked at Neptune and Blanc with one of the glowing eyes Discord had on his helmet. They tensed up from the enemy knowing they needed (Y/n) to transform for now, but couldn't due to (Y/n)'s current state.

Discord: So, who's fighting first?
