Blanc: Last time, on Hyperdimension Neptunia...

After some time being back in his home dimension, many things have happened to (Y/n) in that time. Seeing weird dreams, losing sense of reason and go berserk, seeing hallucinations, fighting his friends, and learning about his death as a baby. Recently, on October 31st, (Y/n) had caught some images of Ivory in his home and at the ballgame he and his friends went to together to enjoy their day. What they didn't expect to meet is Dionix's new ally against the team, their name being Discord. (Y/n) was currently in the restroom when Discord first appeared and started the fight, to which it then led out onto the field where everyone can see them. Being able to buy some time, (Y/n)'s team was able to meet up with him and then separate into two groups. Noire, Vert, (F/n) and Emma to lead whoever was in the stadium left to get to the exits, while (Y/n), Blanc and Neptune keep Discord occupied. Before the battle could begin, Discord pulled a fast one to tangle (Y/n) up in some weird chains to pin him to a wall. Without (Y/n), Neptune and Blanc couldn't access their HDD forms. With Neptune and Blanc only able to rely on their skills and current team work together, can they be able to fight against this new threat?

Discord: So, who's fighting first.

As the story continues... Now.

(Insert To the beginning by Kalafina here)

Neptune's point of view.

Monday, October 31, 20XX

Location: Baseball Stadium.

Time: Evening.

Well doesn't this suck for how this chapter is starting out... Here we are trying to enjoy a good day with some friends at a ballgame, when this happens. Blanc and I were next to each other facing some person calling themself Discord. Not only that, but this nut job decides to tie (Y/n) up in some sort of energy based chains. Totally not cool if you ask me...

Neptune: So you're a new villain in this story huh? What's your beef with us anyway? I don't remember meeting someone like you.

Discord: Like I told the fool hanging over there, I have been employed by Dionix to defeat that fool over there. But with you people transforming and then fighting me, I would be placed in a bad position if attacked all at once. So with that brat out of the way, I believe there is some equal ground for a moment.

Blanc: You bastard...

Blanc said as she tightened her hand into a fist. I couldn't say I was mad also, but knowing we couldn't gain energy from (Y/n) to transform, did put us at a slight disadvantage...

Neptune: Well, even if we can't transform, me and Blanc will still be able to give a good fight.

Discord: For how long though? That will be the true question. Just don't make this fight a waste of my time.

Blanc: After what you started here? Trust us, we're not going down without a fight.

After Blanc said that, we both got our weapons out and got into our combat stances to show we were ready to fight. Discord summoned their weapon as well to get into a combat stance, getting ready to fight back. I could see (Y/n) in the distance trying to struggle to break free of those chains, but was having trouble due to his body being restrained. I focus my attention back to Discord, to focus on the fight in front of me. I make the first move to rush up to take a few swings at Discord with my sword, but they blocked each attack I made. After I was done with my combo, Discord kicks me away while Blanc attacked them from the side by surprise. Blanc was able to get a hit off on Discord and sends them flying into the stands, making them crash into it. Blanc jumps up and readies her hammer to swing down at Discord on the way back down, but Discord begins to channel energy around their body like (Y/n) could. Blanc connects her hammer to Discord's sword, each trying to push against each other in a test of strength. While Discord was distracted with Blanc I begin to try and head over to where (Y/n) was.

Blanc: So, not only do you launch an attack on us, but you're copying (Y/n)'s skills too?

Discord: Do not look at me to blame for this. I am using the abilities the doctor put into this suit after many videos of how that brat fights. Besides...

Discord began to push out more power to start pushing back against Blanc's strength.

Discord: My suit runs on a different power than that stupid crystal!

Discord pushed up against Blanc's hammer and threw her off balance. Discord then makes fluid motions with their sword and deals damage to Blanc. Some parts of her clothing get cut up from the attack and gets sent flying away from Discord. Blanc ends up crashing into the ground of the field as dust was kicked up from her impact. I looked at her to see if Blanc was okay, but Discord caught me by surprise and knocked me away from (Y/n)'s location to where Blanc was. After the dust begins dissipate, Blanc was getting back on her feet once more to get back in a combat stance. Getting back up from the ground myself, I begin to talk with Blanc on what to do about this situation.

Neptune: So, got any ideas on how to deal with this mysterious person Blanc?

Blanc: No, not yet. We still don't know what they're capable of yet. So far, Discord has shown to be able to launch some attacks and skills that are similar to (Y/n)'s with the exception of those energy chains.

Neptune: What? You mean like an Anti-Guardian suit? Something to match (Y/n) but with a slight edge against him?

Blanc looked at me like I had grown a second head, but nodded at my statement.

Blanc: If you want to put it that way... Then yes, like an Anti-Guardian. For such, we were able to see Discord enhance their strength and fire shots like (Y/n).

Neptune: But knowing that this person is working for Dio... We don't know what that suit could be used for...

Blanc: Right...

We were being cautious at this point with what Discord can do or have any trick up their sleeve. With that doctor working for Dionix... Scientists know what could be added to fit a situation given information about certain things. Give the right data and information, and they can put it to good use in many ways...

Neptune: So, what should we at least try and do then?

Blanc: Until Noire and Vert can get back to help, all we can do is try and fight Discord while trying to get (Y/n) freed from those chains...

Neptune: So the good ole classic: "Stall for time routine?" Wait, I don't have to buy you five minutes for you to charge an attack or anything, right?

Blanc: No Neptune, no you don't...

Neptune: Oh, okay. That's good.

I sighed in relief, knowing I wasn't going to be a human meat shield for the fight. I refocus on the fight me and Blanc were in, we both charge in towards Discord to see them charge at us also.

Neptune: (Thoughts) I hope wherever Noire and Vert are, I hope they can return soon to help out. If I know my boss fights, this one will be an annoying one...

When Blanc and I get close to Discord, we began to fight once more.

Ten minutes later...

Third person view.

Going to where Noire and Vert were at, they were currently finding any person too scared to move and try and help them out of the stadium with (F/n) and Emma's support. Some had been knocked down or gotten hurt trying to rush to the exit and left behind by accident along the way. Once the group gets the civilians outside of the stadium, Noire faces towards Emma to talk to her.

Noire: Okay, that should be everyone we can find. Think you and (F/n) can keep these people out here?

Emma: Yes. Knowing the situation, we'll only be in the way for all of you to fight against that person Noire. You and Vert should hurry back to help (Y/n), Neptune and Blanc.

Vert: We already planned on that Emma. Be safe you two. Keep an eye on Abby while we're in there too.

(F/n): Trust us, we'll be fine out here. Just go make sure my smartass for a friend doesn't get himself killed.

Noire: Trust us, we won't let that happen.

Noire and Vert then began to head back inside while (F/n) and Emma kept Abby near them.

Emma: Do you think they'll be fine...?

(F/n): They're better off with us out here instead of being in the line of fire. If what we were told by (Y/n) and the girls, they can handle themselves just fine.

Emma: I hope you're right...

Emma rubbed her elbow out of worry for her friends' safety. (F/n) took Emma's hand gently and held it softly. Emma became curious with a blush on her cheeks and looked at (F/n) on why he did that.

(F/n): They're going to be fine Emma... As long as they have each other, they can push through this...

Emma looked at (F/n) and hugged him softly as (F/n) returned it, rubbing Emma's back to help calm her down.

Emma: I know... I just don't want to lose (Y/n) again... Losing him once was enough...

(F/n) looked to where the stadium was and had a slight concerned look on his face.

(F/n): I know Emma... I know...

Approaching (F/n) and Emma, was Taiga, Ryuuji and Minori. Sophie was currently in Ryuuji's arms until he put her down. Abby was happy she got to see Sophie again and was having a light conversation with each other. Ryuuji approached Emma and (F/n) to begin talking to them, while Taiga and Minori held back slightly and sat down somewhere nearby them.

Ryuuji: Are you (Y/n)'s friends?

(F/n) looks at Ryuuji with a curious look on his face.

(F/n): Yeah. We saw you with us when we were heading towards where (Y/n) was earlier. Why do you ask?

Ryuuji: Nothing important, but you have a good friend to count on.

(F/n) and Emma looked at Ryuuji with a confused look by what he meant by that.

Emma: What do you mean sir?

Ryuuji: What I mean is, nearly a month ago from what happened today, your friend, (Y/n), helped our daughter that was in that burning building.

(F/n): Oh? So, that was you on the news? I remember hearing about that with seeing a picture of (Y/n) on the news. I had almost completely forgotten about it.

Ryuuji: Yes, but it's a day I won't forget, including for my wife.

Ryuuji looked over to where Taiga was as she was having a pleasant talk with Minori.

Emma: Why are you bringing this up if I may ask?

Ryuuji looked back and resumed to talk to (F/n) and Emma.

Ryuuji: The reason I'm bringing this up, is because me and my wife know how (Y/n) saved my daughter now.

This made (F/n) and Emma tense up with hearing that and looked at him.

Ryuuji: We didn't quite understand it when our daughter talked about (Y/n), but she always talked about what he did to help her. Even drew some pictures of him using his so called "powers." But after seeing what (Y/n) can do and what he did to save Kushieda, I understand how (Y/n) saved my daughter now.

(F/n) and Emma looked worried about how they were gonna try and explain to him about (Y/n)'s powers and how he got them.

Ryuuji: Don't worry about your friend's secret. After what he did for me and my family, his secret will be kept safely with us.

This surprised (F/n) and Emma from Ryuuji saying that as he smiled at them.

Ryuuji: If it wasn't for (Y/n)... Our daughter wouldn't be here right now... It's because of him, that our daughter was given a second chance. If anything, he has my support when he needs it.

Ryuuji gave a smile as (F/n) and Emma smiled with him to show that they were in good spirits with him. With Abby and Sophie, they were having a good conversation together.

Sophie: And then, he made a magical platform appear to help go down and made a shield to help protect us from the fire! Mr. Hero is amazing!

Abby: Uh huh, Onii-chan is the best!

Sophie: I want to try and show him my thanks somehow... But I don't know how...

Abby: Really...? Hmm...

Gaining an idea, Abby pulls out a big piece of paper and some crayons to hand to Sophie.

Abby: Let's write something to encourage Onii-chan! If we do that, maybe our words of encouragement will help him beat that meanie up!

Sophie: Yeah! Let's do that!

Abby and Sophie got to work on making the sign for (Y/n), Taiga and Minori were talking with each other. Minori had a shocked look on her face.

Minori: So that kid, (Y/n), was the one that saved little Sophie from that fire??

Taiga: Yeah.

Minori: Oh my god! You met a superhero!

Taiga covered Minori's mouth with her hand quickly and told her to hush.

Taiga: Minorin... Please, keep it down...

Minori: Why? This is an amazing thing we learned!

Taiga: Yeah, but don't you think he has reasons why he's keeping it a secret?

Minori thought on the question Taiga gave her.

Taiga: (Y/n) saved Sophie using his powers knowing hardly anyone could watch him in the building... Today, he was force to use them to help protect you and your team from that maniac in front of an entire stadium full of people. (Y/n) wouldn't have used his powers if it wasn't this serious to him.

Minori: Hmm... I guess you're right...

Taiga: So please... For (Y/n)'s own sake, can you please keep this a secret with you and your team?

Minori looked at Taiga and gave a smile with a thumbs up.

Minori: Sure thing Taiga. We're friends after all.

Minori and Taiga hugged each other with each a smile on their face. Minori broke the hug and looked at Taiga.

Minori: Let's go meet (Y/n)'s friends as well? If we're gonna know his secret, might as well know the group, right?

Taiga: Right.

Taiga and Minori got up and was about to head over to where Ryuuji, (F/n) and Emma were, but notices Sophie and Abby weren't nearby the group.

Taiga: Sophie?? Abby??

Taiga looked around to see wherever her daughter could be with Abby, but couldn't find them anywhere. Taiga began to have a worried look on her face not knowing where they were. Taiga faced toward Minori, who was also looking around.

Taiga: Minorin! Do you see them anywhere?!

Minori: No, I don't! Oh man...! Not good, not good, not good...!

Not knowing where the kids went, Taiga and Minori rushed over to where Ryuuji, (F/n) and Emma were at. Hearing the two approaching them, caught their attention and gave them a confused look.

Ryuuji: Taiga, Kushieda? What's-

Taiga: Ryuuji! Have you three seen Sophie anywhere with Abby?!

Ryuuji: Yeah, they're... Wait, huh?! Where in the-?!

Ryuuji, (F/n) and Emma began looking around and doing double takes on trying to search for the kids. But the kids could be seen nowhere in sight.

(F/n): Oh man! If (Y/n) finds out I lost his sister, he AND his mother will kill me!

Unbeknownst to the group, Abby and Sophie began to sneak back inside the stadium, holding a sign they made together to cheer (Y/n) on with.

Thirty minutes ago...

(Y/n)'s point of view.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Ugh...! Come on! Get free damn it!!

When the fight with Discord began, I was caught off guard with an attack I didn't see coming. I was bound by chains and held against my will to a wall in the stadium. All I could do for now was try and struggle to see if I could escape from the chains that held me down, or pray that Blanc and Neptune can hold Discord off until Noire and Vert return. I could see Neptune and Blanc continue their fight against Discord to see if they can do anything still. Even then, there's only so much those two can do in their current state.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Damn...! If I didn't let my guard down, this wouldn't have happened...!

I kept struggling to see if I could break free from my captivity, until I heard a slight chuckle. A chuckle that sounded like a girl. I try to look up, but I couldn't turn my head much due to my current situation. Although, my eyes caught sight of a familiar silver cloak I remember seeing during the Autumn festival. Seeing it reminded me of that fortune teller that I had tried to chase down on that day. Why was she here now of all places when there's a fight going on!?

(Y/n): Y-You! You're that fortune teller from the Autumn festival, aren't you??

???: Whatever gave you that notion? I could be a cabbage sells woman and you wouldn't know the difference.

(Y/n): Says the lady wearing the silver cloak from before! Why the hell are you here?! Get out of the stadium! It's not safe to be here damn it!

???: Well, I would listen, but considering you're tied up, I thought I keep you company instead.

I looked at the mysterious lady with a look thinking that she has to be nuts on wanting staying here. Any normal person wouldn't think twice on running away for safety in a situation like this. But this lady isn't normal, when I had chased after her, the two students that were in the same hall with me couldn't see this person at all. So why could I see her then? I heard an explosion going off as I saw Neptune slide backwards and jump to the side to dodge a slash from Discord. I could see Neptune and Discord take a swing at each other as they locked on and began to struggle against each other. Discord had the advantage from pumping energy through their body and began to push Neptune backwards while she dug her feet into the ground, trying to keep what ground she had to push back with. Blanc came in for the assist by attacking from Discord's side to uppercut them with her hammer to send Discord skyward. Neptune sighed and gave a thumbs up towards Blanc.

Neptune: Thanks for the save Blanc!

Blanc: You're welcome Neptune. Stay on your toes though, it's not over yet. Not by a long shot.

The cloaked female giggled seeing the fight happening as she caught my attention to look at her.

(Y/n): What's so funny?

???: It's amazing how two people can work together to solve their problems instead of being by themselves. I envy those two and whoever else is with them.

(Y/n): Envy? What do you mean by that?

The cloaked female was about to respond, but an explosion went off to refocus my attention to the fight. I could see Blanc blocking some sword slashes Discord was aiming Blanc with. Neptune joined in to help take some of the heat and support Blanc. Though it was useless, as Discord focused the energy in the suit to give themself more power. This threw Neptune and Blanc off balance, giving Discord a chance to hit both of them at once to send them flying into a wall. Cuts and scrapes could be seen on both Neptune and Blanc's clothing and skin from the damage they've taken.

???: Even then, they won't last much longer, not like this.

(Y/n): All the more reason why I'm trying to break free from these things...!

I kept trying to struggle on wanting to break these chains, but with restriction being placed on my body, I could barely move at all. I pant from trying every time to struggle out of these chains, but would fail every time. As time went by, Blanc and Neptune were beginning to struggle with the power difference Discord had over both of them. I began to worry for their safety as my heart began to race because of it. The cloaked figure dropped down in front of me and faced toward me as I could see their eyes. Her eyes looked to be about silver from what I can see.

???: You need to calm down. Now.

(Y/n): How can I keep calm like this?! My friends are in danger over there!

???: You don't think I know that? I know you're worried for them, but you need to keep calm or you'll run rampant again.

(Y/n): "Run rampant again?" Wait, you know about my berserk state?! How?!

???: That's something for you to figure out. Shouldn't you be focusing on your girlfriends?

The cloaked female then pointed towards where Discord raised their blade and was about to slash down at Blanc. I felt I was about to have a heart attack at what I was seeing, but several spears rain down from above Discord to knock them away from Blanc. I look to see Vert and Noire running down the steps, weapons in hand and ready to fight. They jump up into the air as both of them land near Neptune and Blanc to help them to their feet. I looked back to try and talk to the silver cloaked female, but she disappeared again once more. Thoughts were leaving me with more questions than ever from her appearing again. Questions like: "Who is she, and how does she know so much about me and know what's happening?"

Vert: You two okay?

Blanc: *pant pant* Where were you two when we needed you Thunder Tits...?

Noire: We recently got done escorting whoever we found. Now that we're done with that, we can help out here now. Wait, where's (Y/n)?

Neptune: Tied up to a wall...

Neptune pointed towards where I am as I gave a slight wave and a chuckle at my current predicament. I could see Discord as they got up and get into a ready stance to fight once more. The CPUs gathered together and stood next to one another.

Noire: So, what's the plan and just who are we dealing with?

Blanc: This person calling themselves Discord knows of our current predicament of needing (Y/n) to power up. Not only that, but has some abilities that are similar to (Y/n).

Vert: That poses some problems for us...

Neptune: We tried to separate with one holding off the enemy while one of us freed (Y/n). But without the current flow of Share Energy, we can only do so much...

Vert: Then let me and Noire handle this person for now. Go free (Y/n) while we handle Discord

Noire: Yeah. I'll show this fool just what the CPU of Lastation can dish out. Focus on freeing (Y/n).

Neptune and Blanc: Right.

Getting ready like Discord, Vert and Noire began to rush toward Discord while Neptune and Blanc made their way towards me. Discord had already fought with Neptune and Blanc, to which Discord's suit was slightly damaged from the struggle. Now they had to face two new CPUs with full strength to fight with. Noire decided to meet the assailant head-on and began a skirmish with Discord. Backing her up, Vert jumped up into the air to dive down with her spear pulled back. Discord noticed Vert and countered Noire to knock her off balance to jump out of Vert's path to avoid being impaled as Vert's spear hits the ground instead. When Vert pulls her spear out from the ground, she continues her assault by activating her Rainy Ratnapura skill to charge toward Discord. Seeing Vert charge in toward them, Discord fires off a few energy shots in Vert's path. Vert was able to dodge a few of them, but another one landed right under her and launched her into the air. Noire was up next as she charged in at Discord to deliver a couple of slashes, but each was blocked by Discord. Discord then spinned around to do a spin slice at Noire, but she back-flips away to avoid getting hit. Noire activates her Tornado Chain to charge in towards Discord quickly and delivers a couple slashes to then jump into the air and dive down with a kick. Discord gets pushed back from the kick as they grunt from taking the hit. After regaining their balance, Discord faces toward Noire once more.

Discord: Is that all you got goddess?

Noire: Nope.

Noire snaps her fingers as some slashes Noire did to Discord finally take affect on them and yells in pain. This sends Discord down onto one knee from the surprise of the attack. Discord growls and looks toward where Noire is as she has a smirk on her face.

Noire: Now it's finished.

Third person view.

With Discord distracted fighting Noire and Vert, Neptune and Blanc were able to make it over to where (Y/n) was at.

(Y/n): Glad you could take your sweet time getting over here.

Blanc: We did try you know. It was hard with how fast Discord can move and attack us.

Neptune: Sorry to have kept ya "hanging" around lover boy. Pfff.

Blanc gave a groan at the bad pun being made while (Y/n) sighed at hearing a pun like that.

(Y/n): Ah. Ah ha ha. I see what you did there. Now, get me down from this wall damn it!

Using her katana, Neptune cuts the energy chains binding (Y/n) to the wall as he lands on his feet. (Y/n) moves his arms and legs to relax them from being held to the wall for so long. (Y/n) looked at Neptune and Blanc to see that they got hurt from the struggle when it was just the two of them. Channeling his energy, he activated his Hyper Healing skill to help Neptune and Blanc recover half of their strength. Their wounds began to close up and disappear while some still remained.

(Y/n): So, who's ready for round two against this bastard?

Neptune: I am! I'll nep up the enemy and win the day!

Blanc: This isn't funny Neptune, but as for me, I'll hang back and observe how Discord fights for now. Studying the enemy will help on knowing how to counter their moves.

(Y/n): Sounds like a plan. Neptune, let's go!

Neptune: Right!

Filling energy to his hand, (Y/n) places his hand on Neptune's shoulder to channel energy into her. Once she has enough, she begins to glow and transforms into Purple Heart. Purple Heart smiles that she was able to transform again with (Y/n)'s assistance.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Thank you for the energy (Y/n). Now, shall we head into battle together?

(Y/n): Yes. Follow my lead Neptune.

(Y/n) swipes his hand across his communicator as it activates to summon a hover-board next to him. (Y/n) jumps on and begins to accelerate toward Discord with Purple Heart right behind (Y/n). Noire and Vert were still fighting with Discord as Noire had locked her blade with Discord while Vert was trying to regain some stamina. Both sides trying to push each other backwards to gain ground.

Noire: Just who are you?! What do you want, and why are you here?!

Discord: I have personal reasons for being here, but as for what I want...

The eyes Discord had on their helmet glowed brighter as they looked at Noire.

Discord: I will take your life!!

Discord pushed up against Noire's sword to throw her off balance to make Noire fall onto the ground. Discord pulled their sword to the right to charge up a swing as Noire looked at Discord. Just before Discord could swing their sword back toward Noire, (Y/n) came flying in and body bashed into Discord from their left side with (Y/n)'s hover-board. Both (Y/n) and Discord both kept going flying, until (Y/n) jumped off to let Discord and his hover-board crash into a wall as dust got kicked up from the impact. Vert jogged over to where Noire was to help her up while Purple Heart landed right next to both of them.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Are you two alright?

Vert: Yes, Neptune. We're okay. Seems that you and Blanc were able to free (Y/n) it seems.

Noire: Good thing too... If (Y/n) was late for more than a second, I would have been in serious trouble.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Go rest you two. (Y/n) and I will handle this from here.

Taking Purple Heart's advice, Noire and Vert head over to where Blanc is to rest up on their strength. With (Y/n), Purple Heart lands down next to (Y/n) facing the cloud of dust, seeing Discord had recovered from the impact they took.

(Y/n): I'm warning you right now. Leave this world and return to Hyper dimension. You will not have your way here. Not while I'm around.

Discord looked at (Y/n) and gave a slight growl at what was said to them.

Discord: You are warning ME?? Don't think you can beat me with a pathetic goddess at your side. Even if you transform, I'm not quitting that easily.

(Y/n) frowned at Discord's answer and gave a growl of his own. Purple Heart placed a hand on (Y/n)'s shoulder to gain his attention and shook her head. It was a signal to not let Discord's words get to him. (Y/n) took a deep breath and let it out to calm down and look back at Discord.

(Y/n): If that is your answer...

(Y/n) and Purple Heart each pulled out their weapons to get into a battle stance.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Discord, I do not know as to why you have sided with Dionix. But know that you left us no choice but to fight you. Prepare yourself.

Discord: *scoffs* I know my reasons. All I want... Is to see that pest die.

Discord points at (Y/n), making (Y/n) glare towards them. Purple Heart and (Y/n) stared Discord down, not making a move toward their enemy. A piece of a wall begins to crack behind Discord. When it fully breaks apart from the wall, it hits the ground with a thud. This signaled both (Y/n) and Discord, they both begin to rush at each other while (Y/n) summons both his katana and Sapphire blade and clashed with Discord. (Y/n) let out a yell as his (A/c) aura engulfed around him to power up. Discord yelled as well and the same happened with them too. From both of them pushing against each other, the ground underneath them began to crack and break. Pushing up against each other they begin taking swings at each other with their blades. Sounds of metal could be heard clanging against each other as (Y/n) and Discord exchanged blow for blow. Discord tries to leg sweep (Y/n) but jumps and flips over his enemy to try and slash down at Discord. Discord raises their blade to block the attack and then push off to send (Y/n) into the air and jump up after him. (Y/n) was trying to regain his balance in the air as Discord approached him. Before Discord could do that, Purple Heart cuts them off as (Y/n) generates energy to his legs to create small platforms under his feet. Discord gets pushed away by Purple Heart and Discord activates a function on the suit to bring out some thrusters onto their back to fly in the air.

Discord: Get out of the way bitch! That pest is my bounty!

Purple Heart shook her head and readied her blade.

Purple Heart (Neptune): I will not allow you to kill (Y/n). He is someone I cherish with my heart. If you fight him, you're fighting me as well.

Discord: Then you can die first!!

Discord boosted forward to swing at Purple Heart as she met her enemy half way. Upon collision a shockwave had been made as each swing they made to each other. Purple Heart blocks a downward swing from Discord's sword and pushed against Discord to have them fly a few feet backwards. Where Discord floats, they are currently under (Y/n) as he notices this. (Y/n) jumps up into the air to position himself to create small platforms in the air to launch himself back down. Purple Heart sees this and looks to Discord with a smirk.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Hey Discord, guess what.

Discord: I don't have time to be playing any games. I'm here to fight you!!

Purple Heart (Neptune): I can see that... But don't you want to know the special you ordered?

Discord: What do you mean??

Purple Heart points her finger up, making Discord confused. They look up and become shock to see (Y/n) had dived down at them. (Y/n)'s weapons were put away and had a charged fist filled with energy.

(Y/n): One order of a knuckle sandwich, comin' atcha!!

(Y/n) pulls his fist back and throws it forward to punch Discord in the face. The impact of the fist sends Discord spiraling downward to the ground as they make a huge crash. Purple Heart catches (Y/n)'s hand and flies down to the ground, letting go to have him slide across it and then float next to him. With Noire, Blanc and Vert, they watch from the stands on how Purple Heart and (Y/n) are fighting.

Noire: You think they got that person?

Blanc: Don't say that, or they'll come right back.

Noire: Shoot, you're right.

Watching the hole, (Y/n) and Purple Heart could see Discord slowly get up from the hole that was made from the impact. Some parts of the armor had been damaged slightly, but the suit seemed to be in good condition still to fight. (Y/n) looked at Discord and was a little mad that Discord could still fight.

(Y/n): I'm warning you for the last time. Leave this world at once. If you don't, I will make you regret your choice for bringing danger into this world.

Discord looked at (Y/n) and began to chuckle softly and then increase to get louder. (Y/n) and Purple kept their eyes trained on Discord to make sure their enemy doesn't make any sudden moves. Discord's laughter begins to die down, regaining their composure to get serious again.

Discord: You? You're going to make me, regret what I did?

Discord became silent for a moment and to what (Y/n) and Purple Heart could see, looked like a glare of death hidden underneath the helmet.

Discord: No...

Discord crossed their arms and yelled, as a small crater was forming underneath them and got bigger each second. Wind was being blown towards (Y/n) and Purple Heart, they brought their arms up to shield their eyes to keep from being blinded by incoming dirt. When the force of the wind dies down, Discord could be seen radiating a dark energy. It sent chills down (Y/n)'s spine as he felt this kind of pressure from Dionix when he first fought him.

Discord: Prepare yourself...

Discord says at first, before disappearing in blinding speed. This brought a shock to (Y/n) and the CPUs as Discord had vanished from sight. Feeling a presence behind him, (Y/n) shifted his eyes to the right and heard Discord's voice.

Discord: Because I'm about to show you what true hell is.

(Y/n) was frozen in fear with Purple Heart. Both not trying to make a sudden move. Feeling his heart begin to race from the stress, (Y/n) clutched his right hand into a fist and turned to the left. (Y/n) was about to punch Discord in the face, but got countered as Discord punched (Y/n) hard in the stomach. The attack made (Y/n) cough up some spit and was launched backwards into the stands, crashing into each seat he came across until he came to a stop and lied down in pain.

Purple Heart (Neptune): (Y/n)!!

CPUs: No!!

Discord began to laugh, gaining Purple Heart's attention to look at her enemy. Discord then pointed their finger to Purple Heart and stared at her.

Discord: You're next bitch.

Purple Heart glared at Discord while the other CPUs rushed over to where (Y/n) was. When Vert, Blanc and Noire reached (Y/n), some of his clothes had gotten torn up from the crash. Some blood could be seen leaking slowly from his mouth and from his head, shaking slightly from the pain. Vert could be seen pulling out a Healing Grass item and applied it to (Y/n)'s wounds to heal him. The cuts that were made from the damage (Y/n) took disappeared almost instantly, but some surface of it still showed. (Y/n) sat up feeling the pain still as he opened his eyes to see Vert, Blanc and Noire. (Y/n) then gazed back to where Purple Heart was, as the group could see she was struggling to try and keep up with Discord's speed. (Y/n) growled in anger that he got punched to the stands with just one punch from Discord.

(Y/n): Damn... I got to get back out there...

(Y/n) tried to stand up, but fell down onto his knee from feeling the pain still. Vert held (Y/n) down and had a serious look on her face.

Vert: No (Y/n). You need to switch out for now. You're in no condition to fight with how you're feeling.

Blanc nodded her head along with Noire to agree with the two.

Blanc: She's right (Y/n). For now, let us fight Discord.

Noire: Once you feel like you can move normally again, then you can join us.

Vert: Going into a fight while unable to move by yourself would put you at risk. So please, trust us to take the enemy on.

(Y/n) looked at them and then surrendered to their suggestion and nodded.

(Y/n): Fine... But at least take this power boost first...

(Y/n) then focused his energy to give it to Vert, Noire and Blanc to help them transform into their HDD forms. Black Heart took a deep breath feeling the surge of power return to her.

Black Heart (Noire): Mighty kind of you to do that for us.

Green Heart (Vert): Thank you, we promise to not let this energy go to waste (Y/n).

White Heart (Blanc): Analyze what happens in the fight and find a counter for it. conserve your energy as long as you can.

(Y/n): Okay. Be careful you three...

The CPUs nodded their heads and went to go assist Purple Heart while (Y/n) took cover, watching the fight to see how it plays out. Back at the fight, Purple Heart was spiked downward to the ground as a small crater formed from her crash. Discord hovered down to be in front of Purple Heart, pointing their sword down at her.

Discord: End of the line. Prepare for death.

Discord raised their sword while Purple Heart raised hers to try and guard from it, but before Discord could swing down, they were hit by seven frozen ice shots. The attack knocked Discord away from where Purple Heart was as she could see her allies come to assist her in their HDD forms. The ice shots were Blanc's Gefahrlichtern skill, as she appeared to help Purple Heart up to her feet.

White Heart (Blanc): Didn't think we we're going to leave you hanging, did ya?

Purple Heart shook her head and smiled at the new assistance she received.

Purple Heart (Neptune): No. I'm glad you girls were finally able to transform again. Though, where's (Y/n)?

Black Heart (Noire): We told him to rest up while we fight Discord.

Green Heart (Vert): He had received heavy damage from the crash he had and wasn't able to move without feeling pain. For now, (Y/n) is going to watch the fight for now.

Purple Heart (Neptune): I see. Thank you for telling me.

White Heart (Blanc): If we're done talking, I think our enemy is giving us the evil thousand yard stare.

The four look at Discord and see energy surging around Discord. Discord was growling at the interference that happened from getting hit by Blanc.

Discord: You...! You little bitch...! How dare you interfere like that...!?

White Heart slung her axe behind her head and held it on her shoulders.

White Heart (Blanc): Cry as much as you want you bastard. But you're picking a fight with a goddess. When that happens, you better be prepared to get a beat down.

Discord: Why you little...!

Black Heart summons her blade and points it towards Discord.

Black Heart (Noire): Know this; if you do not leave right now. No matter who you are, you won't get any mercy from us. Not after what you tried to do earlier.

Discord growled at the situation they were in as they got an incoming call. They placed their right hand to the side where their ear should be, pressing against it slightly to answer the call. In their visor, an image of Dionix pops up to show a look of annoyance.

Discord: (Whisper) What do you want?? Can't you see I'm busy?

Dionix (Communicator): Yes, I see that.

Discord: (Whisper) Then what do you want?

Dionix (Communicator): Making sure to tell you not to run from the fight.

Discord: (Whisper) What do you mean by that??

Dionix (Communicator): I'm saying, if you don't show me some results of (Y/n) losing control of his emotions, I will personally send you to the medic team battered and bruised. Is that clear?

Discord scoffed and was angry, but knew they couldn't ignore what Dionix said.

Discord: (Whisper) Fine. I'll get you your stupid results. Don't call me again.

Discord ended their call with Dionix and stared at the four CPUs in front of them.

Purple Heart (Neptune): From the way you had your hand placed to your head, you must have answered a call just now. I take it that was your employer?

Discord: *scoffs* Just shut it. What if it was?

White Heart (Blanc): You'll tell us what that other metal head told you, or we'll force it out of you.

Discord got into a stance and held their sword. The four CPUs could sense that Discord was glaring at them to know that their enemy had no intention of telling them.

Discord: You want to know so bad? Then I like to see you try.

The four CPUs each got into a stance of their own with their weapons at the ready. Seeing the time to talk has ended, the CPUs and Discord began to rush towards each other. Upon impact, the CPUs separate as Discord goes after White Heart first. Both swing their weapons at each other creating sparks against each other. With the two fighting, Green Heart rushes in to try and impale Discord with her spear, but Discord boosts upward with their thrusters. Black Heart gives chase to go after Discord with Purple Heart to give her assistance. Catching up to Discord, Black Heart swings her blade, but only to be blocked by Discord's sword. Purple Heart appears behind Discord to try and attack from behind her enemy. Discord then pushes off Black Heart and turns around to counter Purple Heart and flips to deliver an axe kick to her head to send her downward. Flying up from below, White Heart and Green Heart had their weapons at the ready, as Green Heart fired her Inbetween Spear at Discord. Discord saw the incoming attack and began to fly away from it while the spears homed in on them. Turning around to fly backwards, Discord fired a few energy shots at each of the spears to cancel them out. With each one exploding, it creates a cloud of smoke from each impact.

Discord: You're gonna have to try harder than that!

White Heart (Blanc): Then keep you're eyes open, you metal head ignoramus!!

Discord becomes shocked to see White Heart emerge from the smoke cloud to slam her axe down at Discord by surprise. Discord gave a yell from taking the damage as they began to spiral downward. From the attack White Heart made, it damaged the propulsion system in the left thruster on Discord's back.

Discord: (Thoughts) Damn that bitch! She knocked out my thruster! I'm out of control!

Putting a little more power into the right thruster, Discord makes an effort to balance themself out. Upon landing on the ground, Purple Heart had closed in on Discord and began pushing them back. Discord was digging their feet to try and get some traction to stop from being pushed back. Finding their traction on the ground, Discord spins clockwise and moves to the left, making Purple Heart fly slightly passed them to stop and turn back to face toward Discord. Discord could be seen panting somewhat from being tense at the current battle happening as the CPUs surround them.

Black Heart (Noire): Ready to give up?

Discord: No...

Green Heart (Vert): This battle will get you no where. You're out numbered.

White Heart (Blanc): If you don't surrender, you'll only hurt yourself more.

Discord looked around and lowered their arms. They dropped their sword and hung their head. It looked to seem that Discord is surrendering as the CPUs approach to capture the enemy. Though, (Y/n) had a bad feeling on the back of his neck from watching the fight.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Discord is surrendering... But why... Why am I... Having such a terrible feeling from looking at this person...??

When the CPUs get close enough, White Heart places a hand on Discord, but only to be shrugged off and given a confused look. Discord looked at Blanc and seemed to be glaring at her mostly. A little bit of electricity could be seen around Discord's hands, but with the CPUs so close, they didn't see their enemy's hands.

Discord: Give up? I haven't even begun yet!!

Feeling alarmed, the CPUs wanted to get away real quick, but get trapped in a field of electricity that Discord generates. The CPUs could feel the stinging shock of the electricity Discord is sending out as the four yelled in pain. This alarmed (Y/n) at the sight as he clutched his hand into a fist when witnessing this. When the field dies down, the CPUs fall down to the ground and revert back to their original forms. The CPUs had been given a paralysis affect and couldn't move from the electric feeling that was coursing through their bodies. Discord began to laugh slowly and then gradually increase their laughter as each second passed. When Discord stopped laughing, they began looking around as if looking for someone.

Discord: (Y/n) (L/n)!! Show yourself right now!!

(Y/n) chose to ignore the command Discord was issuing him to do as (Y/n) was still trying to recover some strength and energy for his crystal. Not answering to their command, Discord then lifted their blade up and held it near Neptune's neck.

Dionix: (L/n)! If you don't show yourself right now, you're little lilac friend will meet her end! Come out, or else!!

Neptune was worried for her own safety, but she was also worried for (Y/n) as well.

Neptune: (Y/n)! Don't worry about us! We'll be- Ah!

Discord wanted to keep control of the situation and decided to make a small cut into Neptune's arm. A little bit of blood began to leak softly, but clearly wasn't a fatal wound. Discord held their blade back to Neptune's neck. Vert, Noire and Blanc were getting worried not just for Neptune's sake, but for their own at how serious this is getting.

Discord: Shut up and keep quiet! (L/n)!! Show yourself, or swear I will-!

(Y/n): Alright! Alright... I'm coming out. Please... Don't hurt them...

Feeling like he couldn't hide anymore with how Discord was acting, trying to wait it out would get either one of the CPUs killed. Discord pointed their sword at Neptune's neck more and made (Y/n) freeze up at the sight.

Discord: Disarm yourself. I know everything that you can do. Toss your weapons into the stands and keep your hands raised and behind your head (L/n). If I catch the slightest hint of energy forming in your arms, I will chop her head off.

With no choice but to cooperate with Discord's demands, (Y/n) took both swords in their sheaths and tossed them to his right into the stands and placed his hands behind his head.

Discord: Now. Walk slowly and meet me onto the field.

(Y/n) was sweating with how nervous he was getting with also how fast his heart was beating also. (Y/n) began to make his way down the stairs to then get onto the field. (Y/n) meets Discord near Neptune in front of him with a worried look. Vert was behind (Y/n), Noire was to his right and Blanc was to his left.

(Y/n): Okay... You have me here. Now what?

Discord: On. Your. Knees.

(Y/n) looked at Discord and followed their order and did just that. Discord removed the sword near Neptune's neck and pointed it towards (Y/n)'s neck. (Y/n) took a gulp from feeling nervous about the situation he was in.

Discord: You have, no idea. How much I am enjoying this right now. Seeing you squirm.

(Y/n): Is that your secret thing you like to do with people? Are you some sort of sadist?

Discord: Shut up!!

Discord moves the sword away and then backhands (Y/n) with their left hand, making (Y/n) fall to the right to support himself up from the hit.

(Y/n): Okay, not the person to make jokes with...

Discord: Now, toss the girls away towards the wall. With them paralyzed, I need you to move them.

(Y/n) made a hesitant breath like sound and glared at Discord.

(Y/n): I will not do it. I will not hurt them!

Discord: *chuckles* Oh, yes you will...

Discord aimed their palm toward Noire and charged energy into it.

Discord: If not, miss little princess here, gets blasted away into little pieces instead.

(Y/n) was becoming more worried as time went on.

(Y/n): Okay! Okay...! All I have to do is toss them... right?

In the com-chatter, Dionix had been feeding words for Discord to say to (Y/n) and get him to cooperate.

Discord: Yes. Now, do it!!

(Y/n) got up and went over to Vert first and had an apologetic look on his face, but Vert and the other CPUs knew he didn't want to do it. One by one, (Y/n) was forced to toss each CPU away from where Discord and himself were. (Y/n) had an angry look on his face from having to do that as Discord was in delight messing with (Y/n).

Discord: Well, look at you. You have an angry look on your face. But are you mad at yourself or at me? That's a tricky question.

(Y/n): *scoffs*

Discord: Not gonna talk huh? Hmm... Maybe you need some encouragement!

Discord then swung a few times to deal a few cuts into (Y/n)'s skin. (Y/n) held back from yelling out in pain, even though he wanted to.

Discord: Scream in pain damn it! Get mad!

Discord swung their blade three more times as (Y/n) grunted from each hit made to him and forced (Y/n) to the ground. (Y/n) glared at Discord, signalling them that they will not get what they want.

Discord: You WILL break damn it! What is it going to take that-!

???: Come on Mr. Hero! Get up!

???: Get up Onii-chan!

(Y/n)'s eyes widen hearing the two voices and followed it to the stands where he could see two little girls trying to cheer at him. The two girls were Abby and Sophie, as they had a sign that is meant to encourage (Y/n) to fight back. The CPUs had also caught sight of Abby and Sophie as they became worried for their safety, but was slowly regaining some free movement as time went by. Following (Y/n)'s eyes, Discord also saw Abby and Sophie but was becoming annoyed with them cheering for (Y/n). Dionix's voice came through Discord's communicator to give them an order.

Dionix (Communicator): Attack the children. Do that, and that should trigger (Y/n)'s anger quickly.

Discord gave a slightly chuckle at Dionix's thinking.

Discord: Fine. They were going to give me a headache anyway.

Discord ended his chat with Dionix as they aimed their palm toward Abby and Sophie. (Y/n) looked at Discord with worried eyes, fearing what they were thinking. Discord began to charge up energy to their palm, making (Y/n) go wide eyed at what Discord planned.

(Y/n): No! They're only children! Don't!!

Discord: Do I look like I care for two pesky children? No.

Firing a few energy shots from their hand, it began to race toward where Abby and Sophie were. (Y/n) got up quickly and pushed Discord out of the way to try and catch up to where the energy was going, but couldn't due to how fast they were flying. Time had slowed down as everything moved in slow motion (Y/n)'s heart was beating like crazy from the worries he felt for his sister's and Sophie's safety.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) I'm not gonna make it! They're gonna die! I want to do something, but I can't!! WHAT CAN I DO?!

Hearing a voice in his head, it belonged to the silver cloaked girl from before. Her voice was full of worry from what he can hear.

???: (Y/n)! Use what you've seen! Give it form, and use it to save the girls! Picture a portal opening up in front of the children, channel your energy to your hand and snap your fingers!

(Y/n): (Thoughts) What is she even-?!

???: Don't question it! Just do it!!

Feeling he had no choice but to listen, (Y/n) could only think of one thing that was similar to what he had seen. (Y/n) channeled his energy to his right hand and ended his running on his left foot. He begins lean back and lift his right hand, and snapped his fingers during the rise and called out the skill.

(Y/n): Dimensional Split!!

Upon calling the name, a portal opens up just in time for the energy shots to enter through it and close up when they go through. Everyone becomes shocked, including Dionix from watching the fight through Discord's video feed. (Y/n) was breathing hard as he turned around quickly and snapped his fingers again to have another portal open up above Discord to send the blasts into them. Discord yelled in pain, getting blown backwards from the blast they took, groaning in pain as they got back up slowly. (Y/n) could be seen breathing hard from what he had to go through as many thoughts were going through his head all at once. But one in particular, is what Discord did that got him pissed off.

(Y/n): You...! You tried to kill those kids...! Children that did nothing wrong...! One that belongs to a mother and father I met... and one being MY little sister...!!

(Y/n) could be seen as a dark energy began to try and envelop around him, making the CPUs became worried from what was happening. With them paralyzed, they couldn't get over to where (Y/n) was at to help him. As (Y/n) kept getting more angry, the more Dionix could feel the connection and smiled.

Dionix: Yes! I can feel it! Let your anger explode! Let yourself be consumed in your hate!!

(Insert Pray by Haruka Chisuga)

As (Y/n) became more angry at Discord, the faster the crystal around his neck darkened faster. Discord got up and began to charge in towards (Y/n). (Y/n) glared at Discord charging in as (Y/n) channeled his energy to his right hand. It had grown a dark color to it from how angry he was.

(Y/n) (Rage state): I'm going to make you pay... I'm going to make you pay... with your life!!

Before Discord could reach (Y/n), (Y/n) gave off an explosion after grasping his necklace and being in a swirl of dark winds. The winds blew back Discord from the force as (Y/n) could be heard yelling in the storm. When the storm begins to clear, (Y/n) had transformed into Guardian, but Guardian's armor, wasn't it's usual white color. From transforming when enraged, Guardian had a mixture of black and white for armor. Some armor pieces were trying to convert slowly into a dark color, as Guardian had a glowing red eyes.

Corrupted Guardian (Y/n): So Discord, you wanted me to get angry? Well now you have it! When I'm through with you, Dionix will need to put you in the morgue.

With the fight escalating, who knows how this fight will happen now?

To be continued...

Skill update:

Dimensional Split: Being told by the mysterious silver cloaked woman, (Y/n) followed her instructions and recreated a portal power he saw in a mysterious dream. With it, he has learned on how to break the space in between with a thought and a snap of his fingers. The origin of this power belonged to a CPU (Y/n) had spoken to called "Silver Heart."
