(Y/n)'s point of view.

Monday, November 14, 20XX

Location: (L/n) Residence.

Time: Morning.

The alarm goes off in my room, waking me up from my sleep. I closed my eyes tighter and wanted to ignore it, but just reached to switch it off. When I reached, I felt something tugging on my arm and looked back to see a sleeping Noire holding onto me. I giggled slightly not wanting me to leave her side in bed. Since I had nothing going on today, I decided I wanted to sleep in and keep Noire comfortable. I turned off the alarm, for all I wanted to do right now, was cuddle with my girlfriend.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) No matter what she says, I know she likes the attention I give her. But that reminds me... What should I do with Neptune and Vert...? Ever since we came here... It was true what Neptune said... She was getting less attention than how Blanc and Noire did, plus Vert was like a sister to me and Abby now...

I try and think about that, but then hear a light snore coming from somewhere. I look over the bed to see it was the husky I named Shadow, as it was sleeping peacefully on a pillow. A thought had also came to me, I'll almost be two months since my return from the Hyper dimension. A lot has happened since then with the whole threats and shenanigans that me and my family went through. Feeling sleep trying to pull me back in, I lie down again and was beginning to feel comfortable, when the sounds of pitter patter of tiny feet rushed into my room. I instantly knew what was about to happen next...

Abby: Wake up, Onii-Chan!

Hearing Abby say that, she jumps up onto the bed. But her landing destination, was always on me to wake me up faster... From the sudden impact, I sat up quickly and yelped from the surprise. The bed shook from Abby doing that and woke Noire up by accident. Noire sat up and began to rub her eyes, still feeling tired.

Noire: *yawns* Ngh... What's going on...?

Abby: Hi, Noire.

Noire: Oh, hey Abby... What's with all the noise...?

(Y/n): *sighs* Sorry about that Noire... It's a thing me and my little sister do sometimes... Go back to sleep... I'm sorry she woke you up...

Noire yawned and leaned against me. Guess if she was more awake, her usual shyness would have activated to lie down on the bed instead of lean against me. But then I heard the sounds of barking as the sounds that happened just now seemed to have woken up one more individual in the room. Shadow jumped up onto the bed panting and wagged his tail fast. I looked at Shadow and smiled at him and then looked to Abby. I feared for what was coming next as she had the brightest smile on her face with her eyes sparkling from excitement and took a deep breath in.

(Y/n): Oh, no...

I then quickly cover Noire's ears for her sake and as what happened next, woke up everyone in the house...

Abby: ONII-CHAN BROUGHT A PUPPY HOME!! YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

(Insert To the beginning by Kalafina)

After everyone was woken up by Abby, mom called for a family meeting in the living room. While Abby played with Shadow, I had explaine to my mother, more like lie, about what I did last night. I don't know what it is with my mother, but she can always see through a lie for some reason. Like always when I cause a problem in the house, I get thrown into a wall again... I get up and brushed myself off and looked at my mother.

(Y/n): Stop throwing me into walls woman! It's getting annoying!

Iris: Then explain the husky that's inside the house! What did you do last night?!

(Y/n): I told you, I was walking with Noire on the way home from work and decided to spend some time together. When we passed by an alley, that little husky over there rushed out and looked at me and her. The husky doesn't have a collar and is basically without an owner. So, being who I am, I decided to take the little guy in!

I stood with my fists at my sides while everyone looked at me. My mother rushed to me and does an uppercut to my chin, sending me through the ceiling with her inhuman strength. Sometimes... I think my mother isn't human with her strength...

Iris: I can LITERALLY tell if you're lying to me! Stop lying!

(Y/n): *muffled sounds, coughs and sneezes*

I could feel my mother grab me by my ankles, pulled me out of the ceiling and slammed me into the floor on my back.

Iris: What the hell did you say up there boy?!

Neptune stood up and cleared her throat to gain our attention.

Neptune: I'm good at translating stuff like this. Ahem, (Y/n) said, "I am telling the truth! I literally walked by an alley last night with Noire, and I did spend time with her! We found Shadow there, and I decided to take the dog home with us!" The coughing and the sneezing was because of the dust up in the ceiling, I think.

The others including myself looked at Neptune on how accurate she was able to translate what I had said.

Neptune: What? I'm good at speaking mufflies~

(Y/n): That's not even a real language, Neptune!

Neptune points to herself, closes one eye and sticks her tongue out.

Neptune: Protagonist~!

I slam the ground with both hands clutched into fists.

(Y/n): The hell is THAT supposed to mean?! Nothing you say makes sense!

Iris: ENOUGH!!

We all look at my mother when she says that and sighs.

Iris: Supposedly you did go to this alley like you said, we don't even know anything about this dog and why it was there in the first place.

We look at Abby as she played with Shadow. Shadow tackled Abby and began to lick her cheeks. Abby giggled from Shadow doing that and was happy.

Abby: Shadow! Quit it, you silly puppy! *giggles*

My mother looked at Abby and I saw my father place a hand on her shoulder, gaining my mother's attention.

Mr. (L/n): Let's see how this plays out. With everything that's been happening, we could use a few distractions. And seeing our daughter happy is one of them.

My mother looked at Abby, who was still playing with Shadow and sighed. My mother looked toward my way and made me jump by surprise.

Iris: I'm letting this slide for now. If you bring another animal home, and don't tell us about it...

My mother gave me one of her signature faces that'll put fear into anyone with an ominous oni mask appearing behind her. This began to send chills down everyone's spine in the room. Mostly for me, since her gaze was looking my way.

Iris: You will be punished~ Got it~? My, dearest son~?

I was shaking in fear as I nodded my head quickly.

(Y/n): Y-Yes, Mother Goddess...

With that done, my mother lifted her "devil mode" as I call it and Vert asks my mother a question.

Vert: Um... This is, not part of the current talk... But may we know what your husband's first name is? We uh, were never told what it was... Plus, it's kinda got me curious really...

Mr. (L/n)/Jasper: Oh, huh... Sorry about that, my name is Jasper.

Blanc: Jasper, huh? Nice name.

Jasper: Thank you, Blanc.

Time: Evening.

Some time passes as I was playing with Shadow and Abby with Neptune for company. Dad said he would be out late again for work and won't come home until later. Guess with having more people in the house, he has to work longer hours for bigger pay. The CPUs had got their routinely dose of Share Energy from me, when the doorbell rang. It caught some of our attentions, as I got up from the floor and head to the door to answer it.

Neptune: I wonder who that could be?

Neptune says that out loud while I was thinking the same thing. When I open the door I became shocked by who I saw with their back to me. I recognized the person by their coat while they used a pink flip phone to talk to someone on it.

Captain IF: Yeah, I hear you dear. I'll talk to you later love. I have to go now, I'm visiting some friends. Yes, I love you too. See you later, bye.

When IF turns around she has some normal clothes on this time around with a black shirt and black jean pants. She didn't wear the black glasses again, but held her hat in her hand. IF still had the green leafy bow in her hair as she puts her pink flip phone away into her pocket. IF doesn't see me yet, due to having her eyes closed.

Captain IF: Sorry to have come unannounced Iris, I just thought I come visit and-

When she got to that point, IF opened her eyes and saw me. We both looked at each other for a minute, blinking at the same time in silence. When the thought processed through her head, she jumped back, pointed at me and yelled. I yelled also from being caught off guard by her doing that.

https://youtu.be/pMZvI_RzfzM

Captain IF: Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-You! It's you! You're (Y/n) (L/n)! Jasper and Iris (L/n)'s son!! Right in front of me!! What the HELL is going on here?!

(Y/n): AAH!! How do you know me!? More importantly, WHY are you here?!

Captain IF: That's my line! I should be the one asking "WHY are you here?!" I've been trying to find your scrawny butt for nearly five months now, and yet here you are! When the hell did you come back!? And jeez, what the hell happened to your cheek??

I was tongue tied from seeing this IF here at my home after what just happened last night. If she even gets the slightest hint I am Aura Knight, I was in deep trouble! I heard footsteps from behind as they were in a rushed like way. The footsteps belonged to my mother.

Iris: (Y/n)?? What's with all the- Oh! Iffy! This is quite unexpected! What are you doing here on this fine evening?

IF turned to my mother and placed her hands on my mother's shoulders.

Captain IF: Iris! When and where the hell did your son turn up?! How long has (Y/n) been back?!

My mother was surprised from the sudden grab on her shoulders and then chuckled nervously.

Iris: Oh...! Guess we forgot to call and tell you (Y/n) returned home... In fact... it's been nearly two months since he came home... Sorry Iffy...

IF became shocked by this and fell to the ground, twitching from the sudden news. After she gets back up, IF yelled at both of us. The yell she made could be heard for a mile long with how loud she was.

Captain IF: TWO MONTHS?! I COULD HAVE STOPPED LOOKING TWO MONTHS AGO?! WHAT THE HELL IRIS!? GOOD GRIEF!!

I was flabbergasted by this event as my mother giggled at this. The noise brought Abby running to the door with the CPUs behind her when they heard yelling from IF. When the CPUs, mostly Noire, see IF, they were shocked to see her here.

Abby: Aunt Iffy!

(Y/n): AUNT?!

I fell down hard in complete shock hearing Abby say that and slowly get up from my spot. I look toward where IF is and see her pick Abby up in her arms. Abby giggled as IF smiled at spending some time with my little sister.

(Y/n): What the hell?! This is the first time I'm hearing about this!!

Captain IF: Oh right... You weren't here... Well, you see (Y/n), during the time you were missing, I became close to your family with the struggle of not being able to find you. Whenever I had time, I would use it to search for you. I would be invited over to your family's house at times to join them and share what I had done to look for you. In fact, with me coming over here a lot, I was imprinted by your little sister here as an Aunt. So, I guess I'm like a Step-Aunt to you now.

Abby wrapped her arms around IF more as the hug was returned back to Abby.

Abby: Hmm~ Aunt Iffy~

Captain IF: You missed me for two months, haven't you, you little monster~

Abby giggled with IF playing with her as my jaw had dropped. My mother took hold of my jaw and closed my mouth for me. I look to the CPUs as Neptune, Blanc and Vert were surprised by seeing Earth's version of IF. But with Noire, she was with me last night in the alley when IF appeared. They don't know what's at stake if I get found out to be Aura Knight in front of IF! IF puts Abby down and then gets an idea about something.

Abby: Oh! Wait here Aunt Iffy! I have somethings I want to show you!

Abby began to runs off to get what she needed, but I was nervous as hell. Any suspicious action I make will only result in clues for IF about who I am. IF turned to my mother and finally sees the CPUs.

Captain IF: Oh? Are these your guests, Iris?

Iris: No, no Iffy. These girls are (Y/n)'s friends. Surprisingly enough, three of them are his girlfriends believe it or not. Neptune, Blanc and Noire are his girlfriends.

I fall down once again with IF becoming shocked by this info.

(Y/n): Why, mother...? Why...?

Captain IF: Wait, really?! Heh, your son seems to have a knack for wooing the girls, am I right Iris?

Iris: Oh, Iffy~

Both my mother and IF laugh at this with me groaning more in embarrassment. The CPUs pull me aside, getting me to stand up and talk to me for a minute.

Neptune: Who knew there would be an Iffy in this world, I know I saw her child version growing up before, but this takes the cake for seeing a grown up Iffy...!

Blanc: This world sure does throw a person for a loop when meeting another person who looks like your friend.

(Y/n): You think that's weird?! This Iffy took a spot in being an Aunt to Abby! And yet I'm friends with Iffy in your dimension.

Vert: On top of that, she's hogging Abby to herself...!

Neptune, Blanc, Noire and myself look at Vert with judgemental looks as Noire shook it off first.

Vert: What? It was supposed to be sister bonding time right now...

Noire: (Y/n), private meeting.

Noire takes me by my collar, drags me up to my room, closes the door behind us and faces towards me on what she wants to talk about.

Noire: What are we going to do?!

(Y/n): "WE?" You mean "ME" mostly! I'm the Aura Knight IF's been trying to catch as of late!

Noire: Why?

(Y/n): Because of all the things I've been doing to help people around the city and near my home.

I go to my bed and reach under it to pull out a small box and take the lid off. It contains some cutout newspaper articles and the dates they were released on. Noire takes a few of them and sees the Chief of Police ordering any leads on who Aura Knight was, Aura Knight stopping a bank robbery and doing miscellaneous stuff. Noire looks at me with some shock on her face with the cutout articles about myself being Aura Knight.

Noire: How come we never heard anything about this??

(Y/n): I made sure to always get the newspapers first and cut anything about me out of them before Dad could read them. We never watch the news unless rumors had been spreading around. But rumors hardly reach here since it's more towards the city. I really didn't want to attract attention to myself on purpose, but when hearing people needing help, my instincts kick in and I just can't ignore what happens...

Noire: So that's why the front of some news papers were cut off...

Noire closed the box and slid it back under my bed to hide the evidence.

Noire: IF can't find out you're Aura Knight, if she does, the police will know who you are!

(Y/n): You don't think I know that?! I don't know how close THIS IF is with my family. Plus, with what we heard about capturing me being her "big break," I don't know how far she'll go just to get me. Look, let's just play this out. As far as IF knows, she doesn't know you were there that night with me. If so, she would be looking at you for questions.

Noire: T-That's true... Ugh... Getting Lastation soldier flashbacks here...

(Y/n): Deep breaths Noire... Deep breaths... I care about IF, I do, but I'm not familiar with this version of her and know she has a goal to catch Aura Knight. With knowing I'm here and safe as far as she knows, she can focus more time on figuring out who Aura Knight is... Ugh... Let's just not think too much about it... Let's just see where it goes with her time here and deal with problems as they come.

Noire: How can you be so calm right now?? Aren't you scared of being found out??

(Y/n): Yes, I am. But I'm staying calm because someone has too when things get difficult. If I get found out, I get found out... But I won't drag anyone I know down with me because of it...

Noire stared at me with what I said as I hugged her. After a few seconds, I could feel her return it.

(Y/n): I may be scared about being found out, but if it happens, I'm willing to pay for the consequences... It was my choice to continue being Aura Knight that has led up to this point... If it happens, it happens... But I'll keep my head held high, because I followed what I wanted to do.

With Noire hugging me, she knows what I say is true and I could feel Noire nod her head.

Noire: I know... You wouldn't be who you are if you didn't... and that's who I fell in love with.

I smiled hearing her say that, as I broke the hug and went to the door. Noire followed me out and I could see Abby run passed me with some paper and drawings. We head downstairs to see Abby hand IF some drawings with my mom to watch them with the other CPUs nearby. The pictures Abby shows IF are pictures of herself and the CPUs.

Abby: That's me and Neptune playing video games, me and Blanc reading together, me and Vert hugging together and me hanging out with Noire. Oh! And this one is when both Neptune and I double teamed up on Onii-chan!

Captain IF: Neat drawings Abby. Getting better each day I say.

Abby: Oh! I have one more! I have someone to show you!

I see Abby run and grab Shadow, bringing him over to IF.

Abby: Onii-chan brought this puppy home just recently! His name is Shadow.

Shadow: Yip! Yip! *pants*

IF took Shadow into her arms and played with the little husky.

Captain IF: Really? Where did he find this cute husky?

Abby: Onii-chan said he passed by an alley on the way home from work.

Captain IF: Your brother has a job? Where does he work at?

Abby was wanting to say it, but didn't really know. So to help out my sister out, Neptune chimed in with a smile on her face.

Neptune: (Y/n) works at Jonny's. I still giggle whenever he wears that waiter outfit.

(Y/n): Not cool, Neptune...

IF became intrigued by this and had a raised eyebrow.

Captain IF: Really? That's... Interesting.

I could tell the way this Version of IF said that, she took in that information to heart.

Captain IF: And, how recently did (Y/n) bring this adorable husky home?

I decided to answer that question this time to avoid the real time to be known. I had to keep calm, or else I would get found out.

(Y/n): It was a few of days ago actually. I was walking home from work when I met Shadow and hung out in the area for a bit. When it was getting late, I had noticed it didn't have a collar and decided to take him home with me.

Most of what I said was a fabricated lie. If there's one thing I don't want IF knowing, it would the fact it happened last night and that Noire was with me. I don't want to involve Noire for being with me that night if I can. Blanc looked at me with a curious look when I said that as the information I gave to her earlier with the group was wrong this time.

Blanc: What do you mean (Y/n)? You only just brought Shadow home last night with Noire.

Captain IF: Is that so...?

Iris: (Y/n)...?

Everyone in the room looked at me with confused looked, but IF was getting interested with these facts.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) D-Damn... This sucks... Everyone here, except Noire, doesn't know the true events that happened last night between me and IF... Good grief, this is a very sticky situation I'm in...

I scratch the back of my head, and fake a yawn as I could. I was trying to pretend to have been tired at this time.

(Y/n): *yawns* Did I say that...? Huh... Must be more tired than I thought right now... Felt like Shadow has been with us for a while with how lovable he is.

I pick Shadow up as he barks at me. He begins to lick my nose while I smile from Shadow trying to be cute. I could hear my mother sighing with what's happened.

Iris: Well, if Shadow is going to be staying with us, you're taking care of him (Y/n). Is that understood?

I looked at my mom while Shadow licked my cheek and I nodded to tell her I agreed to it. Abby cheered and bounced around hearing that Shadow gets to stay here with us. I heard IF sigh and look back to see a smile on her face.

(Y/n): What's wrong?

Captain IF: Oh, nothing. Just glad to see this family happy is all. They missed you terribly when you went missing. The more I got to know about this family, the more I grew feelings with how connected this family is. I don't want anything to happen to this families happiness.

I became shocked hearing that come from this version of IF. To think that from my time being gone from this world, she would bond with my family and share in their happiness. A cell phone goes off as it belonged to IF. She opens the phone and answers the call.

Captain IF: Sorry, I have to take this. Be right back.

IF gets up and heads into the kitchen to take a call. My mother stands up and follows IF into the kitchen.

Iris: Would you like some tea Iffy?

After my mother and IF went to the kitchen, Noire and I sighed at how close some instances were as we both sat down on the couch. The other CPUs look at us with confused looks.

Vert: What seems to be the matter you two?

Blanc: Yeah. First you two head upstairs after Earth's IF enters the house to talk in private, then you two return feeling slightly nervous and tell a different story from how you told us the first time... What is going on here?

Neptune: I smell a conspiracy going on here...

(Y/n): There is no conspiracy...

Vert: Then what's going on?

Before I could answer, IF exits the kitchen and heads for the door rather quickly. I become intrigued and decide to ask her.

(Y/n): Leaving so soon? What's the rush?

Captain IF: My job, that's what. There's an incident going on down in the city.

Noire: What incident? What's going on?

Captain IF: A group of strange looking people are seen attacking a mall there. It should be on the news by now. For me, I have to get there and assess the situation. Good grief...

My mother comes out of the kitchen and hands IF a cup of tea real quick.

Iris: Drink this first. You'll need the energy Iffy. It has some good energy qualities in it.

Captain IF: Thank you, Iris.

IF looked at me and noticed the Crystal of Hope around my neck.

Captain IF: Neat necklace kid, looks good on someone like you.

(Y/n): Oh, uh... Thanks. I like your green bow in your hair.

Captain IF: Appreciated kid. Later everyone.

IF drinks the tea made for her, sets it down before going to the door, while putting her hat on, and leaves the house. We hear a motorcycle starting up as it had a bright green color to it. Guess the IF of this world loves her motorcycle's being green as well. The IF I met in the Hyper dimension rode a green motorcycle when we all went to save the CPUs. Remembering what IF said earlier, I quickly turn on the television to see what IF was talking about.

Television (News reporter): I'm in downtown Tokyo, where a group of armed individuals seem to be causing terror. Citizens are running away from the scene as the assailants have some strange weapons and gear, shooting anyone in sight. The police are doing everything they can to address the situation, but are not fairing too well. Word has it, all available officers have been called to rush to the scene and try to regain control over the situation.

The camera looks at the police officers who were hurt in battle. The camera then shifts over to the group at the mall while we all become shocked and worried on what we see. Soldiers. Soldiers from Dionix's army is there, and not only that, but Discord was there to lead them. With them, they're carrying a device into the building that was just screaming at me that it was something bad. With how bad the situation was, there was a number of people on the ground that had been shot down by the enemy. I clenched my hand into a fist seeing this.

(Y/n): Damn! Not them again!

Blanc: And Discord is with them too.

Vert: Could this be a trap to lure us out?

Noire: Has to be... Why else would they attack innocents like this?

Neptune: I'm kinda wondering if that big thing they have has a red button for me to push.

We all looked at Neptune and gave her a look to not joke around like this. My mother comes into the living room and sees what's on the news with us.

Iris: What's going on?

(Y/n): Trouble, that's what... Our enemies are attacking a mall downtown and-

A thought came to me what IF said earlier.

(Y/n): Shit! IF said she got a call to go to that damn mall! She's gonna get herself killed by going there!

The others looked at me while I rushed up the stairs.

(Y/n): Mom! Don't leave the house or go anywhere right now! Call dad to come home or stay at his office for now!

My mother went to the steps and yelled up after me.

Iris: What do you plan on doing?!

(Y/n): Take a damn guess!

I crashed into my room and hurried to get whatever gear I had on including my disguise. I can't charge in there without a way to conceal my identity. The cameras there will capture everything that happens and I can't allow that to happen. My mother enters my room with the CPUs as I had just finished putting my hood up and put on my trench coat with black leather gloves.

Iris: Don't tell me you're going to fight those people?! What are you even wearing?!

Aura Knight (Y/n): This is something I've been wearing for a while now, and I have no choice! Innocent lives will be harmed if I do nothing!

I was about to walk pass my mother when she palmed the doorway to stop me.

Iris: You almost died the last time you fought! Think about what would happen if you lost YOUR life!?

I was about to yell back when I heard a crying voice. I look into the hall to see Abby had heard us yelling at each other. Abby was never used to hearing those she loved yelling at each other... I wish I could avoid it, but I can't. I stop yelling at my mother and go to Abby to cheer her up real quick.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Hey... Hey... It's okay Abby. Mom and I are just having a little disagreement is all.

Abby: *crying* No you're not...! Are you really going to die...?

Aura Knight (Y/n): No! No, no, no, no! I'm not. I promise you, I'm not.

Abby: *sniffs* Y-You promise...?

Aura Knight (Y/n): I promise with all my heart.

Abby: Okay...

When Abby cheers up slightly, she finally notices the clothes I'm wearing and has a curious look.

Abby: Why do you look like that, Onii-chan...?

I decide to play with my sister by standing up and strike a hero pose.

Aura Knight (Y/n): You're "Onii-chan?" No, no. I am the hero of the people, Aura Knight! Fighting crime and protecting the weak!

Abby giggles at what I do, meaning I've cheered her up more. I get down on one knee and pat her head softly.

Aura Knight (Y/n): I must go and help people now. Do you trust that I'll return?

Abby thinks for a minute or two, but then nods her head. Though, I could sense that she wasn't sure still. I bring out Noire's scarf from my inventory and show Abby real quick what it is.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Do you know what this is?

Abby: A scarf...?

Aura Knight (Y/n): Not just any scarf, a lucky scarf! Made by the tsundere goddess herself!

Noire yells and blushes in embarrassment from me saying that as some of us laugh.

Aura Knight (Y/n): I have worn this scarf many times, and I have come out of each battle safely. But this scarf even has its limits at times. It only gives me luck when I really need it.

I could see Abby staring in awe with what I said, but then had a thought.

Abby: If it's lucky... Why didn't you wear it when facing that meanie at the ballgame...?

I become stunned for a sec and think of something quick.

Aura Knight (Y/n): W-Well, you see. My scarf was recharging it's "magical" power and interrupting it while it's recharging will only turn the energy into "bad" luck.

Abby: Oooooh. Okay.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Even magical items like this must have a break too. No one is invincible you know.

Abby: Okay, I understand now.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Good. Now give your Onii-chan a hug before he goes.

Abby: But Onii-chan isn't here~

Abby winks at me and I chuckle at her joke. I give her a head pat to show how happy I was.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Good girl! That's what I like to hear!

I wrap the blue scarf around my neck, get up onto both my feet and head over to the CPUs and my mother. The CPUs smiled at what I did to try and cheer Abby up, even if it caused Noire to lose some of her dignity. But my mother still had a worried look on her face.

Aura Knight (Y/n): I'll be okay mom... I promise...

My mother looked at me for a moment and went into my room and beckoned me to follow her as Shadow followed me in. When the CPUs tried to follow, my mom held a hand up to motion them to stop. My mom closes my door with me looking at her.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Mom... What's-

Before I know what happens next, my mother quickly gets me into a hug and holds me tight. I can tell she was afraid of losing me again and this time knew it could be my last. Even I knew I was risking everything by going out without help, but what choice did I have...? People were getting hurt, and adding five super human beings into the mix of what's happening will make it worse. I hug my mom and rub her back.

Aura Knight (Y/n): I promise I won't let myself die... I will give everything I got while protecting my identity...

Iris: I know...

My mother lets me go from the hug and I head to the window and look into the city where smoke is rising up. Guess that's where I need to head to quickly. I feel something pull on my pant leg and see it was Shadow using his teeth. He looks up at me and barks happily at me, making me chuckle at wanting attention. I crouch down and give Shadow a quick pet before I stand up and look at my mother one last time. I look at her in the eyes while making my eyes glow with an (A/c) hue in them.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Tell Noire, to reveal the box I showed her earlier.

Iris: What...? What box??

With that, I jump out of the window quickly and summon my hoverboard from my communicator. With it, I zoom through the sky and head to the mall as quick as I can. My only hope is that, whatever the enemy has planned, I hope I can stop it in time...

Third person view.

Location: Downtown Tokyo Mall.

Time: Almost night.

After leaving the house in a quick fashion, (Y/n) hurried over to where the mall it. (Y/n) decides to land on a building nearby and survey the area down below. (Y/n) gazed at the sun as it was touching the horizon and slowly descending. (Y/n) could see paramedics around the area as some carried the bodies of those of the deceased. Just looking down at the bodies made an image flash through his head. Do to how quick it appeared and vanished, (Y/n) couldn't tell hat he saw. He pulls out his phone and makes a quick call to his house. When the phone is picked up, Iris was the one who answers it.

Iris (Phone): Hello?

Aura Knight (Y/n): Mom, could you tell me what's happening on the news? I need to know what's happened before I go down there.

Iris (Phone): Yes, I'll go do that. Hold on while I see what's happening.

(Y/n) waits for his mother to watch the news and continues to watch down below. (Y/n) could see that crowds were beginning to form near the mall from hearing the commotions going off. (Y/n) could see a green object approaching the area, meaning IF was just arriving at the mall and beat her there.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Seems I was able to beat Iffy here mother.

Iris (Phone): That's good.

Aura Knight (Y/n): You know mom... It's weird seeing Iffy here in this world.

Iris (Phone): What do you mean, son? You just met her.

Aura Knight (Y/n): No, I know that. I mean... I'm friends with another IF in the Hyper dimension.

Iris (Phone): I don't follow what you mean son...

(Y/n) sighed and looked down below. (Y/n) watched Earth's version of IF get off her bike as news reporters stormed around her. No matter how short (Y/n) knew of spending time with IF from Hyper dimension, she was a close friend who helped him during his first few weeks and gave (Y/n) advice when he needed it. It was during when the CPUs had been kidnapped and (Y/n) only had a few moments to talk with IF here and there that helped him get over his fears and worries. If there was one thing he wouldn't let happen, is let a friend die while he could do something to avoid that.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Dimensions are realities of different possibilities, mother. Meaning I met a different Iffy in Hyper dimension, not this one that's here on Earth. The IF I know is a good friend to me. But this IF has been helpful to you, dad and Abby since I disappeared. If this Iffy has becomed a huge part in our family, it's only right I help keep her safe too.

Iris was quite at first, but made a sound that was happy.

Iris (Phone): Thank you, (Y/n).

Aura Knight (Y/n): You're welcome, mother. Now... has Noire showed you-

Iris (Phone): Yes. Including your encounter with Iffy last night and what you've been doing.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Yeah... Ever since I started doing this... The police see me as more of a threat than a hero with how I appear and do their job for them. Most of my deeds is protecting people who get mugged. Never had a crowd before...

(Y/n) looked down since this would be his first appearance in front of everyone. (Y/n) shook his head and got serious again.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Got anything on the situation from the news?

Iris (Phone): Oh, right! IF is saying that the people needs to evacuate the area due to the severity of the situation and many casualties. IF's requesting for any available help to assess the situation and make a stand against this attack.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Shit. All she's going to do is get herself and other good people dead.

Iris (Phone): Son... Do what you need to do... Keep Iffy safe...

Aura Knight (Y/n): I will. You can count on me.

Iris (Phone): I know. Please... I know I already told you this, but... Be safe...

Aura Knight (Y/n): I will mom. If I don't make it back though... Tell everyone I know... I love them.

Iris makes a slight sound of agreeing to (Y/n)'s request as he hangs up the call. Getting on his hoverboard, (Y/n) goes into the air and begins his descent to the mall with his blue scarf flapping in the wind. Upon getting closer to the mall, people began to take notice of (Y/n) getting closer and turn toward his direction with the camera's pointing at him to capture footage. (Y/n) pulls up to gain some air slightly and makes his hoverboard disappear and begins to fall from the sky. People yell out of worry for his safety, but (Y/n) does a few flips in the air before landing into a crouched position with his back to everyone present. IF takes recognition of who she sees quickly and pushes through the crowd and points at (Y/n).

Captain IF: Y-You! You're that brat from last night calling yourself Aura Knight!

(Y/n) begins to stand up and raises an arm. (Y/n) turns to IF with a glow in his eyes and points to himself in a form of confirmation.

Aura Knight (Y/n): YES! I AM!

Upon saying that, (Y/n) pushes the blue scarf to the side and have it blow in the breeze. News reporters and cameramen push pass officers and even IF to surround (Y/n) to ask him many questions.

News reporter 1: Mr. Knight! Is it true you can heal people from what rumors say?

News reporter 2: Sir! Is it true that you can defeat multiple foes by yourself?

News reporter 3: Excuse me, sir! Many reports say that you usually appear when people get attacked in an alley at night. But why now? Can you explain why you're here? Can you explain who these people might be?

(Y/n) was about to answer some questions when IF pushed through the crowd and got the reporters away from (Y/n).

Captain IF: Back off! There will be no reports or asking questions to this vigilante! If anything, he's coming with us to be interrogated when this is all over! Now, go on and get out of here damn it!!

IF turns to (Y/n) and grabs the collar of his coat with both hands to have a firm grip.

Captain IF: What the hell are you doing here?!

Aura Knight (Y/n): Well first, I would greatly appreciate you to let go of my coat, thank you very much. Second, you and the other officers here don't know what you're dealing with. And third, just trust me, that this is out of your hands IF.

Captain IF: I don't give a damn! Why should I believe a punk like you??

Aura Knight (Y/n): Because lady, if you go in there or anyone else does, all of you won't come back out with what I know about those shit heads. One of them in general is way out of your own league and experience.

Captain IF: What the hell do you even mean by that??

(Y/n) gave her a glare and forced her to let go of him.

Aura Knight (Y/n): You go in there, you'll die is what I mean! Those people in there are more experienced than you could ever think! Do me a favor, and get everyone out of this goddamned area including yourself and the other officers. If you excuse me, I have a job to do.

(Y/n) placed his hands in the trench coat's pockets and began to head toward the mall. IF stared at (Y/n) for a few moments and snapped out of her thoughts. She orders the police officers to get the news reporters to go away, set up a perimeter around the area and rushes to get in front of (Y/n) to cut him off. (Y/n) stops walking from IF getting in his way with her arms crossed.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Get out of my way lady. I have a job to do.

Captain IF: Nope. I won't. If you want to go in, there's one rule I'm giving.

Aura Knight (Y/n): And what is that?

Captain IF: If you're going in, I'm going in with you.

This caught (Y/n) by surprise as he wasn't expecting to hear that.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Lady, you have no idea who you're dealing with here. Take my advice and leave this to me.

Captain IF: No, you listen here, ass hat. This is my city I'm willing to die for and some people I care about for a family I've grown close to. Say what you want, but I'm going to figure out what the hell is going on here!

(Y/n) and IF glared at each other while the others at home could see them on the news. When (Y/n) couldn't convince IF to leave, (Y/n) sighed and looked at IF.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Fine. You want to go in so bad, I have one rule as well. You listen to what the hell I say and don't die on me. That's my conditions. No more than that.

IF thinks about it for a minute and sighs.

Captain IF: Fine. FINE. Lead the way then "hero."

Finally getting the cooperation (Y/n) wanted, both of them begin to head in as IF takes out two pistols to be ready if a fight starts up. The group at home worried for (Y/n) and IF's safety. Iris brings her hands together to pray for both of their safety for what's to come. The CPUs felt sad for Iris and comforted her as best they could. Noire looked at the news and saw (Y/n) and IF go in.

Noire: (Thoughts) Don't you both die in there... Come back home to all of us...

Shadow watches the television, but more importantly at (Y/n) as his tail wagged fast. Shadow barks and runs to the door, gaining Noire's attention at the same time. Shadow runs to the door and jumps up trying to reach the door handle, but fails on reaching it. Looking around, Shadow sees a way to open the door by getting up on a stool. Shadow then jumps up on to it and proceeds to howl while jumping towards the door handle, succeeding in his attempt. Shadow opens the door and then runs out of the house. Noire rushes outside to see Shadow running at a quick pace.

Noire: Ah! Shadow! Come back! Bad dog! Bad dog!

The others come see what was happen and look at Noire.

Blanc: Okay, how in the hell did he get out?!

Noire: Shadow used a stool to reach the handle! I know he followed me and (Y/n) home, but come on!

Iris chuckles upon seeing this holds a hand to her head.

Iris: Dogs are smart animals after all... But I wonder... Where is he going...?

The group wonders the same and worry where Shadow is going and decide to follow in case something goes wrong.

Location: Inside the mall.

In the mall, (Y/n) and IF walk carefully to make as little of noise as possible. Any enemies one of them would see, they would let the other know to hide. Finding a place to take a breather, (Y/n) and IF head into a ladies restroom. Both of them take a seat to calm their nerves real quick. IF looks at (Y/n) on wanting to ask him questions.

Captain IF: So tell me something straight... You've seen these freaks before, haven't you?

Aura Knight (Y/n): What if I did?

Captain IF: You know what you're dealing with based on our conversation earlier... If we're gonna work together, I need you to trust me here with what you know.

(Y/n) looked away from IF when she said that. It wasn't that he didn't trust her, it was more of sharing that there are other worlds besides the one they're in. But (Y/n) trusted IF given they were pretty much the same person deep down, it was just that they were from different worlds and had different experiences. (Y/n) sighed and looked at IF, as she could see (Y/n)'s eyes had a look of seriousness in them.

Aura Knight (Y/n): If I tell you Iffy, you need to promise this stays between us right here at this moment. This information doesn't leave no matter what. Okay?

Captain IF: What the hell do you-

Aura Knight (Y/n): I'm giving you my full trust in what I know. Please...

Captain IF *sighs* Alright, fine. I understand. What I hear right now doesn't leave this mall. Now explain.

Aura Knight (Y/n): These people, the tech, the armor... They're not of this world...

Captain IF: What do you mean? You're not saying they're aliens or anything, right?

Aura Knight (Y/n): Not outer space, I'm talking about dimensional. This world, the one we live on, is just one small piece in a vast universe of many world that range across all dimensions. These people come from a world known as; The Hyper dimension.

Captain IF: "Hyper dimension?" You really can't be serious that they came from another dimension. That's just ridiculous.

Aura Knight (Y/n): I didn't believe in other worlds existed until I went there myself. The things I've seen and experience, is nothing like here at all. I've faced monsters, made good friends who helped me out and lived my life to the fullest there. There's a saying for this occasion, seeing is believing.

Captain IF: So, why trust me though? I was the one who tried to arrest you and bring you in after you fell for a trap I came up with.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Believe it or not, during my time in another dimension, I met lots of people that I was able to trust.

Captain IF: And who's that?

Aura Knight (Y/n): Well, remember how I know your nickname from last night?

IF looked at (Y/n) feeling curious about this.

Captain IF: Yeah, what about it?

Aura Knight (Y/n): With each world, there are different versions of other people. One person I was able to become friends with, was you.

IF became shocked at this and didn't know what to think about this.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Although the Iffy I met there was younger than you and more of a badass.

Captain IF: Hey! I can be a badass too, ya little shit.

IF punches (Y/n) in the arm with a smile, making (Y/n) let out a small chuckle. (Y/n) then gets up and stretches his limbs. IF got a thought about something as well.

Captain IF: If you went to Hyper dimension, is that where you discovered your "powers?"

Aura Knight (Y/n): Pretty much.

Captain IF: How long though?

(Y/n) stopped himself before he answered knowing the time part was a critical piece to who he was with IF. If the time (Y/n) had been missing be compared with how long he was in Hyper dimension, IF just wouldn't be ready to know who he was just yet.

Aura Knight (Y/n): That question isn't important for now. The enemies I have witness there have shown me that there are worse things than regular thugs and people committing Grand Theft Auto. They have hurt some of my friends close to me and I need to stop them. That's why I need you to listen when I say this is dangerous. I promise to help you see this through and get out of this, but we do it my way. Okay?

(Y/n) holds his hand that's covered up from his leather glove for IF to grab. IF looks at him, smiles and nods her head. IF took the offered hand to get helped up from the floor.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Thanks, Iffy.

Captain IF: No problem. We both have an objective in mind, and a score to settle with these creeps. Let's teach them a lesson to not mess with both of us and this dimension!

Aura Knight (Y/n): Right!

Before both of them began to head out, the door opened to hear a couple of voices coming in. (Y/n) and IF head into the stalls stand on the toilet seats to hide. The voices coming in sounded both like men as one was groaning and another was on the phone. The voices seemed familiar to (Y/n) for some reason.

Grif: What do you mean you won't deliver pizza to the mall?! I said, I would meet you out back when you people come and let me pay for it!

Simmons: By him, he means me! Grif, hang up and just help me clean my armor already!

Grif: Ugh... Fine. *hangs up the phone* I don't know how you got this black stuff on you. Reminds me of that blue team member we worked with before.

Simmons: His name is Tucker, Grif... I still don't know how this happened to me.

Grif: Look, whatever. Let's just get this done and over with. Maybe they'll still deliver my pizza. I want my meat lovers pizza already.

Simmons: Forget about the pizza!

Hearing that it was the two idiots (Y/n) had encountered in Hyper dimension, he decides to knock on the door to the stall he was in. Grif and Simmons turn to the stall out of confusion while (Y/n) had a smirk on his face.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Uh... Like, one order of pizza, special serving of meat lovers?

Grif: Pizza?! In a ladies restroom?! How come ladies of this world get special treatment here?!

Grif was about to head toward the stall where the voice came from, but Simmons stops Grif before he could move.

Simmons: Wait, Grif, I don't think it's a good idea to go near that stall...!

(Y/n) then lowers the hood and removes the goggles and waits for his prey. He makes one last push to see if Grif would fall for it.

(Y/n): Pizza's free, dude...

Grif: Free pizza?! Oh, now I want that!

Grif begins to head for (Y/n)'s stall while Simmons yells at him.

Simmons: Grif, you idiot! Pizza isn't free! Stop!

Grif: Simmons! I NEED pizza!

When Grif opens (Y/n)'s door, (Y/n) looked to Simmons and had a finger over his lips to signal Simmons to keep quiet. (Y/n) looked at Grif and had an evil smile with what was coming next.

Grif: And there's nothing in this world that will-!

Before Grif could say anything else, (Y/n) pulled Grif into the stall and slammed it shut. The first ten seconds are quite, until...

(Y/n): Hi~~

Grif yells very loudly and burst out of the stall to hide behind Simmons. Grif points at (Y/n) while freaking out.

Grif: AH! Simmons! It's him! The nut puncher!

Simmons sighs with what he deals with and facepalmed.

Simmons: Good observation, Grif... Ugh...

(Y/n) walks out of the stall and looks to where IF's location is.

Captain IF: Hey! What the hell is going on out there?!

(Y/n): Don't come out yet, partner. I need to talk with these idiots alone real quick.

Captain IF: What?! Oh, hell no! I have as much of a right as anyone here at this moment to interrogate them if I please!

Simmons becomes nervous when he hears IF talk.

Simmons: W-Wait... Was that a girl I just heard...?

(Y/n): Yeah? Why?

Simmons: O-Oh, look at the time, we should get going Grif.

Grif: Why are you such a pansy when talking to girls dude...?

Simmons: I'm not a pansy! I told you all before; I'm extremely nervous around girls!

Grif: Then why not with Texas or Carolina??

Simmons: Grif... We both knew those women were no women with their strength...

Grif: Good point...

(Y/n): Nervous around-

After hearing that, (Y/n) got an idea and puts his goggles an hood on to disguise himself again. He walks over to IF's stall and knocks on it.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Hey, Iffy. Maybe you should come out after all. Maybe TALK some sense to one of these idiots here.

Simmons tensed up while IF was confused from (Y/n) saying that. From being told to stay in the stall, but then come out was confusing to her.

Captain IF: The hell do you- Oh. Oooooh. I see~

IF comes out of the stall after knowing (Y/n)'s plan and Simmons becomes nervous seeing a girl. IF goes up to Simmons, standing next to him and begins to speak.

Captain IF: So, you're nervous around girls huh~?

Simmons: Well, I- that's um... uh...

Captain IF: Come on cutie, I don't bite. I just want to talk~

Simmons becomes more nervous by the second, while IF gets closer to him.

Simmons: Please... Stop...!

Captain IF: I mean, a strong, male like yourself should be able to talk to me. Right~?

Simmons: Heeblharblblargh?!

(Y/n) waves his arm to catch Simmons' attention.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Tell me what I want to know, and I get Iffy here away from you right now. Deal, compadre?

Simmons: Yes! Please! Make her stop!!

(Y/n) snaps his fingers and IF backs away to give Simmons a break as (Y/n) takes her place, but punches the wall next to Simmons' head with a fist full of energy. The punch creates a hole in the wall, surprising those nearby (Y/n) with what he did, mostly IF.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Now, listen here, punk. I am someone you don't want to piss off right now. I am a man who cares for his friends and families safety. If you think being next to a girl is bad, Simmons? Think about how mad I'll get if I don't get the information I want... Do. You. Understand?

Simmons: Okay, okay. We'll tell you. We know not to mess with you when you're around...

Getting the cooperation like he wants, (Y/n) steps back to allow some breathing space for Simmons, while crossing his arms.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Now talk. What are you all doing here? What's the strange device you all walked in with?

Simmons: The device we brought in is a gas dispersal unit that covers a large scale around the surroundings. We were tasked to bring it here under our boss' orders. It was meant to lure you and the CPUs here.

Aura Knight (Y/n): You mean Dionix?

Grif: And that new guy, Discord. He's such an ass. Telling us what to do like he's god or something. Has mostly a thing against you kid.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Better make sure he doesn't hear you say that then. He looks like a person who'll kill anyone for any reason.

Grif: Trust me, I don't care who's my commanding officer is.

Captain IF: Wait, go back to the dispersal unit real quick. What's in it? And what are CPUs? Who's Dionix and Discord??

Aura Knight (Y/n): Focus on the device mostly Simmons. I don't have all day.

Captain IF: Hey wait! I asked-

(Y/n) shot a glare at IF and made her stop speaking. IF got spooked by how (Y/n) looked at her.

Grif: We don't know what's in that thing.

Simmons: All we know is that it was created by the doctor and to deliver it here. Those were our orders.

(Y/n) grew more serious with what information he was given.

Aura Knight (Y/n): You mean Kinja? Kinja made that device?

Simmons: Yeah.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Son of a bitch...!

IF looks at (Y/n) as energy began to surge around him. The energy grew more intense with each second as he picked Simmons up by the shoulders and slammed him to the wall.

Aura Knight (Y/n): How long do we have before that device gets activated...?

When Simmons didn't answer the question, (Y/n) punched the wall next to Simmons' head and scared him more.

Aura Knight (Y/n): How LONG do we have!? Every MINUTE you make me waste, I'll break EACH of your limbs! Don't make me ask you again!!

Simmons: 35 minutes! 35 minutes is all you have left! That's all I know! Please, don't hurt me!

Aura Knight (Y/n): Thank you.

(Y/n) drops Simmons and looks at Grif, making him jump upon being focused on.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Because you two cooperated in giving me what I wanted, I don't care what you two do next. All I know is, I have to stop that device before it goes off.

(Y/n) begins to walk off and looks at IF real quick.

(Insert Pray by Haruka Chisuga)

Aura Knight (Y/n): We got what we needed.

Captain IF: What about those two?

Aura Knight (Y/n): Do what you want with them. Handcuff them or something. Our focus should be to stop that device now.

Nodding her head IF quickly cuffs both Grif and Simmons to the bathroom stalls to keep them from running away.

Grif: You know... My horoscope did say I would be handcuffed by a chick.

Simmons: *sighs* Why am I even here with you...?

IF leaves the bathroom and joins up with (Y/n). She wonders what's happening as they had that argument inside just now.

Captain IF: Hey, mind telling me what the hell going on here? What are CPUs? Who is this Kinja guy? Who's this Dionix or Discord you three are talking about!? Who are you even!?

(Y/n) stops and looks at IF. His voice is full of being serious.

Aura Knight (Y/n): All I know is that, if I don't stop their plans... Many people, will be needing help... and no regular doctor can help against this gas...

To be continued...
