(Y/n)'s point of view.

Wednesday, November 30, 20XX

Location: Police station.

Time: Late Morning.

I walked into the police station with IF in my Aura Knight attire as I got some looks my way from some of the officers there. Some were either shocked or surprised I was walking into their station of my own free will. An officer approached both of us as I remember it to be that female officer from the other night. She was the one who put handcuffs on me to trap me at the pole for IF to have an encounter with me.

Female officer: Captain!? I- Am I seeing this?? How did you capture this vigilante???

Aura Knight (Y/n): Not captured. Do you see any cuffs on me woman?

Captain IF: He isn't in my custody, he's here to help us out here. I tracked him down to bring him here to talk some sense into a couple idiots we have in custody already.

The female officer took a minute to take in what she heard until it processed completely.

Female office: WAIT, WHAAAAAAAAAT?!

(Insert To the beginning by Kalafina)

I keep looking at the female officer with the shocked expression on her face until IF clapped her hands to snap the officer out of her daze.

Female officer: W-Wait! Hold on, wait just a second here! You mean the two men in those armor's?! You're gonna let this asshole interrogate those two?! What can he do that-!?

Captain IF: Don't ask, that's why I have him here. "Aura Knight" has dealt with those two before and left quite an impression on them. Trust me, when we went into the mall when it was attacked, I saw how he dealt with them. If anyone can get information out of those two, it's our "friend" here.

The female officer looked at me and crossed her arms.

Female officer: Oh, yeah huh? Give me an example.

I looked at IF to see if I can give a demonstration considering this was their building I was in. IF gave me a nod to show it would be okay. I look at the female officer and smirk under my hood as an idea came to me. I create two small energy disks and toss one under the officer in front of me and then above her. The female officer looks at me weirdly before I make the disks enlarge to make them bigger. With a simple motion of my hands I then turn the female officer into a sandwich to see the shocked look on her face. I then move her in the air to have her be upsidedown as her hat falls down to show she had green hair underneath the hat.

Female officer: OH, WHAT THE HELL?! WHAT THE F*** ARE THESE THINGS!?

I quickly zoom in and get up in her face. She began to try and struggle on wanting to get out while I whispered into her ear.

Aura Knight (Y/n): (Whispers) I'll tell you something... I have seen bigger things than you can imagine and what I have been through. To me, you are like a tiny ant I can crush between my fingers in one move. If you think this is surprising, think what I will use a damn eggplant for. And let me tell you, you won't like the idea I have for it. I've used an eggplant before, and believe me, you DON'T want to know what I did with it. You don't want that, do you~?

The female officer tensed up from me saying that and kept listening.

Aura Knight (Y/n): (Whispers) You listening now? Good. So here's what you're gonna do. First, I'm gonna let you go from these things. Two, you're gonna respect your captain in what she has plans for me being here. Finally, you're gonna let me interrogate those men. I have very, and I do mean VERY much business with them. Understood, young lady?

Female Officer: Y-Yes! Okay! Please don't use an eggplant! Anything BUT that!!

Aura Knight (Y/n): Good.

I waved a few motions of my hand and let the officer go. She falls to the ground and then crawls away from me a few meters to have her back against the wall. IF and the other officers that were in the room with us, had shocked looks from what they just seen.

Female officer: Y-You can go on ahead...! P-Please, make yourself at home...! Sorry about what happened...! N-No hard feelings, right?

I walk up to the lady and I crouched down to read her name tag.

Aura Knight (Y/n): None taken. Thank you for your acquaintance... Linda~

I get up and walk away from Linda, hearing her sigh in relief from being safe from my wrath. I decide to play around a little bit more, by stopping and look back to Linda. When I do, she tenses up in fear with what I would say next.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Also, get me something to drink. Some... Jasmine green tea if you will.

Linda chuckles nervously and raises her index finger.

Linda: I-I see you're a man of culture, huh...?

Aura Knight (Y/n): Do I look like I have time for idle chitchat woman...? TEA. NOW!

Linda: O-On it! Coming right up, sir!

Linda gets up and scurries away to get some green tea for me. I look at another officer and see them jump from me looking at them.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Interrogation room... Where?

The officer points and I look in the direction to go. I give the sign of "OK" and head off to where the two idiots were. I walked through a set of doors and hear IF jogging to catch up to me.

Captain IF: Okay, I know you were trying to make a point, but... WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY TO HER!?

I look at IF and chuckle with what I say next.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Trust me, you DON'T want to know. Let's just say... "Enough."

IF sweats from me saying that and holds a hand to her head.

Captain IF: I think I've made a mistake in taking you from school today...

Aura Knight (Y/n): You said it, not me. I find this to be fun.

IF rushed to get in front of me and points a finger in my face.

Captain IF: I know you're mother is Iris, but don't act like her! It's scary with how you two act on the same thoughts...!

Aura Knight (Y/n): And frankly, you got nothing to lose since you need the information from those two idiots. Either let me do my job, or I go back to school.

IF wanted to say something, but knew I was right with needing to get some information from the two.

Captain IF: Damn you... Ugh... fine. But don't scare any more of my officers. I don't want them having another reason to hate OR fear you.

Aura Knight (Y/n): I hold no promises if any one of them has a problem with me.

Captain IF: Tch... Good grief... Why is everyone that I meet got to have something crazy about them...? It's like I'm the only person who's not insane here...

I looked at IF and chuckled. IF gives me a confused look as to why I was laughing.

Aura Knight (Y/n): If I know one thing, Aunt Iffy... I stopped caring about that a looooooong time ago, in a dimension far, far, away.

IF looked at me and face palmed at what I said, making me laugh more.

Captain IF: You just had to make that kind of joke... Didn't you...?

Aura Knight (Y/n): Indeed. So... Where are the two idiots?

IF begins to guide me as I think back on how my day started before IF brought me here.

(Flashback)

Location: Neighborhood streets.

Time: Morning.

I was walking to school with my friends and the CPUs by my side in our school clothes, but for me, I was wearing my combat clothes underneath for when danger came around while wearing the hat IF gave me. With Winter being here, it was currently snowing to where we had to bundle up some more to stay warm on the way to school. My friends were happy to finally go back, but Neptune didn't want to. With Neptune being who she is, I had to bribe her by buying a some pudding cups just to get her to leave the house and go to school. Neptune was currently eating one of the pudding cups I bought for her, having a bright smile on her face at the taste the pudding had.

Neptune: Ah, pudding~! The best source of energy for a girl like me~!

(Y/n): Not when it involves with me having to pay for them... You may be lovable Neptune... But you tire me out most of the-!

I didn't get another word out as Neptune stuffed a piece of pudding on a spoon into my mouth to stop me from talking. Neptune giggles and sticks her tongue out playfully.

Neptune: Just because I look cute and lovable, doesn't mean you should forget about the mischief I pull sometimes~ You know this, silly boy~

Noire: Once again, proving some of our points on your personality Neptune...

Neptune: Not my fault I'm lovable because of it~

Noire: Nothing about that makes any sense!

Neptune: Of course it makes sense~ I'm the girl that just wants to have fun~

I look at Neptune with that of an annoyed look on my face and then think about the spoon she had put into my mouth. Neptune had been using the spoon to feed herself pudding with it and now it was in my mouth. When I keep thinking about it, I blush considering that this was in a form of indirect kissing. I ate the pudding Neptune had fed me and saw her take the spoon out of my mouth to scoop up another piece of pudding, putting it in her mouth. I looked at Neptune to see that innocent happy look to her face and sigh to myself as I swallowed the sweet and creamy taste in my mouth down.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Neptune... Even when you act so playfully... Even "I" have to be more careful with how you act at times... But you're not wrong about being a "girl who wants to have fun."

Neptune looks at me while I had a blush on my face.

Neptune: Hmm? What's wrong? Did you want some more?

I don't say anything, but Neptune scoops up another piece of pudding and holds it out for me without asking.

Neptune: Go on. Food tastes better when you can share it.

I sigh from Neptune saying that and open my mouth slightly for her to feed me another piece of pudding. Neptune smiled, only to make me blush harder with how cute she was being as I could hear (F/n) snickering from what I was going through, talking to Emma from what they were seeing.

(F/n): You know, I could get used to seeing (Y/n) like this, Emma. It's funny when I'm not the one being embarrassed all the time.

I look toward (F/n) and accidentally pull the spoon out of Neptune's hand. I place a hand on (F/n)'s shoulder and gripped it to feel him tense up from my touch. With the spoon still being in my mouth, I began to talk as the handle would rise and fall from me talking.

(Y/n): Oh, really now, (F/n)...? You think it's "funny" when one of my girlfriends does something cute make me blush like that? Let's change that, shall we? You have ten seconds to run before I change your relationship to the ground itself...

(F/n) began to sweat with fear and he has every right to be afraid of me right now.

(F/n): Uh...! Can't we talk this out like men...?! Maybe over a cup of green tea?!

(Y/n): That's MY line, boy! Your time has been cut down to seven seconds because of it.

I could hear Blanc and Vert sighing with how (F/n) and I was acting.

Blanc: I believe we know what's going to happen next. Right, Vert...?

Vert: It's quite obvious... I mean, this IS (Y/n) and (F/n) we're talking about. Knowing them... It's bound to happen most of the time...

Funny thing was... They were actually quite right about it.

(Y/n): Four... Three...

(F/n): Oh, son of a bitch...! RUN!

https://youtu.be/PT5OO3eCv5w

(F/n) begins to run away as a few seconds later I begin to chase after him. With me still having the spoon in my mouth, Neptune had to chase after me for it. With the three of us running for different reasons, the others had no choice but to run after us to stay as a group.

Noire: (Y/n), Neptune!

Emma: (F/n)!

Blanc: You damn idiots! Stop running!

Vert: To be fair, aren't we always running for some apparent reason at times?

Neptune: Waaaaaiiiiit! Come back with my spoon dang it!! You two can do anything else after you give me that back, but I need that spoon to eat my pudding!!

(F/n) looks behind him with a shocked look on his face from hearing Neptune's words and yells at her.

(F/n): You're worried about a stupid spoon!? I'm worried for my damn life, Neptune!

Neptune: And I NEED to eat my pudding! Stop running so that (Y/n) can catch you, (F/n)! That should buy me enough time to swipe it from (Y/n)'s mouth while he pummels you with his fists!

(F/n): Are you TRYING to get me KILLED, woman?! Should that count as someone trying to get me murdered because of it!? I believe it DOES!!

Neptune: Oh, you'll be fine! You're just the comic relief! You'll heal up quickly!

(F/n): YOU'RE BEING MEAN RIGHT NOW, NEPTUNE!!!

I yelled as I charged in toward (F/n) faster, not able to take the craziness anymore.

(Y/n): Dead man (F/n)! You are so dead when I catch you!!

(F/n): SOMEONE HELP MEEEEEEEEE!!

(F/n) said as he cried up to the heavens. When I had finally caught up to him, all I can remember was that... (F/n) got what he deserved for making fun of me.

(F/n) owned count: *Ding* 9

Location: Ohashi High, Class 2-C

Time: Before Class.

After I got some steam out of my system, we arrived to our class on time to be ready for class. But with what I did to (F/n)... He had to be put in the infirmary room to get healed up. I took a seat at my usual chair in my class while everyone still did their usual business here and there. I felt someone tap my shoulder and turned to see some students that I would usually see in my classroom.

Student 1: Um... Hey.

Student 2: Hey there, (L/n)-san.

(Y/n): Uh... Hi...? Do you... need something?

The two students looked nervous at first and then looked at me with what they wanted to say.

Student 1: We... Just wanted to check to see if you were okay after the festival a while back...

Student 2: Yeah... You passed out after beating up Johnathan and his men from what they did to you and Noire-san...

My mind goes back to that day on what they were talking about, I know something happened, but from my usual "berserk states..." I could barely remember anything, except felt pain and dizziness that day.

Student 1: What you did to Johnathan... Unbelievable.

Student 2: You're like... the next "Palmtop Tiger." Only... you're not short like the original was.

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

The students look at each other and then shake their heads about it.

Student 1: Uh... Forget about that part of what my friend said. We were just thinking about how you beat Johnathan up how you did. We thought that since you got mad a second time around when John hurt your friends, we thought that the name: "Palmtop Tiger of Justice" would be a good fit for you.

Student 2: You're... something else (L/n)-san. Different than how you were a year and a half ago. Not different like you've changed, but more like... You bring more hope than you did before.

(Y/n): Oh! Uh... Thanks, I guess?

After the two students left, Blanc waved slightly to gain my attention.

Blanc: Seems someone is getting a little more popular now after what happened during the festival. "Palmtop Tiger of Justice~"

Blanc giggled from the new nickname I was given by the two students while I held a hand to my head groaning in embarrassment.

(Y/n): Trust me... This is a surprise, even for me. What I don't want is any followers of my own. Got enough problems with our other "friends." Plus... "Palmtop Tiger...?" I wonder who had that name before I came around...?

Blanc: Who knows. But all we can try and do is just be normal as best we can like you said. If something happens, it happens. Remember what I said back then?

I remember faintly from what Blanc said about what would happen if people should ever discover what I or the CPUs could do. Thinking about it worried me, but experiencing it when it happens is scared me even more.

(Y/n): If people find out... They find out... How they accept it... is the problem...

Blanc: But no matter what, don't stop being who you are. Okay?

I look at Blanc, but smile lightly while I give a nod at what she says. The peace we had ends when we hear the door sliding open loudly and we look to see Johnathan. The look he had on his face was screaming with anger and rage. This made me think that he was still pissed from the festival on how badly I kicked his ass. Seeing Johnathan beginning to march right on over to me, Blanc began on standing up, but I held her back as I took her place.

Johnathan: (L/n)! You've pissed me off for the last time asshole! You made a mockery out of me at the festival with what you did! "Palmtop Tiger of Justice" MY ASS!

(Y/n): To be honest with you Johnny my boy, me and my friends give you enough warnings from time to time when you're heading into deep trouble. It's not our fault if you keep making the same mistakes over and over again.

Johnathan reaches the row I was in and points to me with a pissed off look on his face.

Johnathan: Hold your tongue you bastard of a bitch. You don't get to talk like that to me. Your dumb friends, your shit show of a family and YOU are nothing to me! Even the new girls you hangout with are, dumb, stupid, bitches!

I glared at Johnathan with everything he just said pissed me off. More importantly my CPU girlfriends and Vert, who I treated like my own sister. I can take people calling me names, choosing to beat me up, or anything of the sorts. But talking about my friends, my family and those I love in a bad way or seeing them get hurt? That is Johnathan's WORST mistake...

(Y/n): You want to run that by me again...? I don't think I heard you quite clearly...

Johnathan: I believe you heard what I said. And let's not forget that bitch of a mother of yours.

With Johnathan saying that to me, that's pushed it too far for me.

Blanc: (Whispers) (Y/n)... Don't-

(Y/n): (Whispers) I'm in control Blanc... All he's doing is pulling an Abnes move right now... But even so... John's signed his death bed for humiliation... And trust me, if John talked to you about your "trigger word," we both know there wouldn't be anything to stop you from pummeling John down into a pulp. I should know considering how mad you got at the base and when we spared.

Blanc sweats a little with what I said, knowing I wasn't wrong.

Blanc: (Whispers) You... Do have a very good point about that...

(Y/n): (Whispers) So, please keep the others away from what I do next... 'Cause it's about to become hell on Earth for John.

Blanc: (Whispers) O-Okay... Just... stop if anything begins to happen to the crystal.

(Y/n): (Whispers) Understood...

I begin to walk to Johnathan as the hat IF gave me shadowed my eyes while I had my hands in my pockets. John looked at me and was surprised I was approaching him.

Johnathan: Well, this is a surprise. I thought I would have to approach you to punch your face in. Yet, you're doing it yourself.

When I stand in front of Johnathan a few inches away, John cracked his knuckles and prepared to punch me.

Johnathan: How adorable of you to submit to me.

When John threw the punch, I immediately pulled my left hand and caught John's punch in my palm. It was just couple inches from hitting me as I made Johnathan and some of those in the classroom surprised.

(Y/n): Bitch... I'm adorable.

Placing a foot behind John's I use my right hand to push his chest and pull his leg forward to make Johnathan lose balance and fall flat on his back a few inches from me. Taking John's arm, I pull him up on his feet and then slam him against the wall, giving him a glare that would be on par with my mother. From the corner of my eye, I saw (F/n) come into the classroom with bandages on him and see him jump slightly at what I was doing.

(Y/n): LISTEN to me, asshole. I don't care what kind of high horse you're riding right now... But I'm getting TIRED of your shit... You think you're so tough when you're able to pick on someone that doesn't fight back? Let me tell you something, Johnny my boy: What happens when the person that deals with your shit, starts fighting back? It does not END well for people like you. I've had my fair share of troubles I've experienced, and to be fair... I still scare MYSELF at times when I snap like this... But it's people like you that try and act all high and mighty, that fall when shit hits the fan. If I was you, I'd stop while I'm ahead, because if you don't... You're going to REGRET it...!

I get Johnathan away from the wall to toss him slightly to slide against the floor. I walk up to him again with my hands in my pockets and just gazing down at him.

(Y/n): You have NO idea, how far I will go when someone pisses me off. All you're seeing right now, is me keeping whatever sanity I have under control. But let's get one thing straight...

When I tip my hat up, everyone can see the seriousness in my eyes as they shook from being scared of whatever they saw from me.

(Y/n): If you EVER, talk like that about those I care about like that again... The embarrassment when my mother beat your ass up at the mall, won't be as bad from what I'LL do to YOU!!

John looked at me while having their hand gripped tightly into a fist. I look at him while keeping my seriousness up still.

(Y/n): Now, get out of MY classroom, or else...!

I look to see Johnathan get up, glare at me, but only to then leave without another word. Some people watch him go walking down the hall while others still looked shocked at what I did. I hold my hat and sigh with the attention I was getting.

(Y/n): What a day this is turning out to be... Good grief...

I could see everyone begin to talk about what they just seen as my friends and CPUs head over to where I am.

(F/n): Dude, that was AMAZING!

Vert: It's definitely official... You really are just like your mother.

I look at Vert on her statement confused.

(Y/n): In what regard?

Neptune: I think we ALL know what Vert means... The scary factor you bring when you get mad.

Emma: And that's why I try to keep BOTH of them in good moods. (Y/n) AND his mother.

Noire: That's... a bit concerning.

Blanc: But useful in certain situations.

While we talked, Ms. Koigakubo walks into the classroom and closes the door behind her. With the teacher finally here, we all take our seats to hear what announcements there are for today.

Ms. Koigakubo: Good morning, class. How is everyone today?

There was some murmurs here and there on how some people felt, while I take my hat off to hang it on the side of my desk.

Ms. Koigakubo: Now, I know it's a bit late to announce all of this, but there are upcoming final tests for all of you...

There was some groans from here and there, even for me. With all that's been happening: My job, the threats, and any craziness that happens around me... I've had little time to focus on my homework at times. It was the help of my friends when I was struggling to keep me up to speed with what needed to be done, even if I had to study with Neptune when we were both behind.

Ms. Koigakubo: But... I would also like to announce that there is an upcoming dance now that we were able to rebuild the school in time.

I looked around and saw that my friends and the CPUs were interested in hearing this, even I was interested in hearing about this.

Ms. Koigakubo: Hopefully it'll motivate most of you to focus on your studies so that you can have fun on the 17th of December, three days before the tests can happen. That way, you can relax and have some fun to get some stress off on worrying about them.

I heard some cheers going off as most of those in my class seemed pretty excited for it. It would be a good thing for our group to attend an event like this. When announcements were just about to be done, the door on the right side opens quickly with IF walking in at a fast pace. I see her begin walking down my row to which it made me more curious. I look at Blanc as she was confused like I was as to why IF was here.

(Y/n): Hey, Blanc? What's going- Augh!

I didn't get to finish my sentence as IF slammed my head onto the desk I sat at. I groaned from the sudden pain IF dealt to me, since I wasn't prepared for it.

Captain IF: Mr. (L/n), you are under arrest.

I looked from the corner of my eye to look at IF with a confused expression.

(Y/n): What the hell do you even-?!

Feeling the chair get pulled out from under me, I fall slightly to then have IF kick my side, making me land on my stomach and cough from being hit again. I felt pressure on my back as IF pinned me down, taking my wrists and feel a pair of handcuffs get put on me. IF pulls me up to my feet while taking my bag and stuffs the hat she gave me in there.

Captain IF: Your items are being confiscated and will be treated as evidence UNTIL you are released.

(Y/n): What are you even TALKING about?! I didn't do ANYTHING!

Captain IF: That's what they all say.

(Y/n): But I'm telling the tru-!

IF pulled me back and drove her fist into my gut. It knocked the air out of me and made me cough from the sudden hit. I almost fall from losing my balance, but IF keeps me standing up on my feet by force.

Captain IF: Let's go. NOW!

Against my will, IF began to take me with her as we both exited the classroom. Going to the entrance, IF takes the key out of my bag to open my locker and grabs my shoes. After closing my locker again and taking the key, we exit the school to head to a police car that she came here with. I look back at the school and I swear I could have saw Johnathan looking down at me with a look of hate and leaves the window. IF opened the door of the car and shoves me forcefully into the car with my bag getting tossed into the back with me and I hear the door close behind me. IF heads to the front of the police car and starts it up, while I look out the window to see the CPUs and my friends rush out of the school towards where I was. IF puts the car into drive and begins to take me away from the school as my friends exit the gates and see me leave them behind. When turning the corner, we leave the vicinity of the school and head into town. I look at IF from the window behind her and shoulder bash against it to get her attention.

(Y/n): Would you mind if I asked you, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALL ABOUT!?

Captain IF: Just sit down (Y/n)...

IF turns a corner and makes me fall to my side in the car. Once I feel the car come to a halt, she gets out of the car and opens the door closest to me. I sit up after regaining some balance and feel IF turn me around to have my back toward her. The cuffs that had a tight grip on my wrists get removed and I rubbed them to get some feeling back from being handcuffed like that.

Captain IF: Listen kid... I need your help. More importantly... "Aura Knight's" help.

I look at IF weirdly with her saying that as on the way to the police station, she explained to me about her reasons on why she needed to take me out of school to go to the police station with her. On the way, I had changed into Aura Knight to be in disguise before we get to the police station. After arriving, we exit out of the police car and head to the doors of the police station.

(End of flashback)

Third person view.

Location: Police Station, Interrogation room.

After (Y/n) is led through the police station, IF takes him to the interrogation area where Grif and Simmons are bickering to each other while (Y/n) and IF are on the one-sided window to look at them secretly. Grif was on the left, while Simmons was on the right.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Yup... Just as I expected to see those two idiots doing...

Captain IF: Trust me... You have no idea how dumb this is... We send our men in and they get nothing from both of them. The one named Grif is just dumb and lazy, who doesn't even listen to half of the things told to him. While his friend, Simmons just won't give up what he knows. Even when we send a female to go in, he gets all nervous and it doesn't work in the end. I'm almost at my limit with the bullshit I'm having to deal with here kid...

Aura Knight (Y/n): And that's why I'm here, to scare the living shit out of them. Am I getting that right?

Captain IF: Hey, I saw how you talked to those two. Whatever you did to make them afraid of you in the other dimension, they know not to mess with you.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Trust me, my friends were in danger at the time and I didn't have time to goof around back then. I had to SERIOUSLY give a beat down to them.

Captain IF: Knowing that you are your mother's son... I believe that statement... So, got any plans on how to get them to talk...?

(Y/n) begins to think on how he should do it and looks up at the removable piece of the ceiling above him.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Is it possible to enter the room from above?

IF looked (Y/n) weirdly when he asked that with what he had planned. In the interrogation room Grif and Simmons was still arguing with each other while IF and (Y/n) were in the other room.

Simmons: You get us into so much shit with what you do Grif. Have you ever thought of that?

Grif: Okay, first of all, I'm not always the cause of things going wrong. Sometimes it's either you or anyone else that makes shit happens.

Simmons: Then what about the events in the dimension we were last in? You said nothing could go wrong. Guess what? THEY DID!

Grif: Oh, don't give me that. We're not there anymore. What could go wrong with being here now?

As Grif said that, the lights went out and Simmons took a deep breath and sighed.

Simmons: You know... It's amazing I haven't duct taped your mouth shut yet... Because with what we say and do... This shit happens!

Grif: Don't you pin this on me!!

With the two arguing, they soon hear the sound of something landing in the room. The sound shuts them up with hearing that and wonder what was happening.

Simmons: (Whispers) Grif...

Grif: (Whispers) Yeah, Simmons...?

Simmons: (Whispers) What was that sound...?

Grif: (Whispers) Why are you asking me...!? I know as much as you do right now!

Simmons: (Whispers) Grif... I swear to God, if you jinked us yet again...!

Grif: (Whispers) Shut! Up!

???: (Whispers) Then let's change the subject: Who here is afraid of the boogyman in this room?

Grif: (Whispers) Well that would be me- Waaaaaaaaait... Simmons...? Was that you...?

Simmons: (Whispers) No... It wasn't...

The lights turn back on as Grif and Simmons look at the mirror to see (Y/n) was behind them. This scared the shit out of them at the sudden appearance of (Y/n) being there and yelled. (Y/n) took both of their heads and slam them to the table.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Hello, boys~ Miss me~?

Grif: OH MY GOD! WE CANNOT GET A BREAK FROM YOU!!

Simmons: What are YOU doing here!? What do you WANT from us?!

(Y/n) released the pressure of having their heads pinned to the table and then walks around to then sit in the chair across from them.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Let's have a chat... Shall we?

Later...

Location: Ohashi High, Class 2-C.

Time: After School.

After the bell rings, classes end for the day at Ohashi High as everyone there begins to leave for the day. (F/n), Emma and the CPUs all gather their belongings and begin to head to the entrance area where their shoes are located at. To them, they were still wondering why (Y/n) was taken away from school the way IF did it.

Noire: It's still weird why IF would just suddenly show up to take (Y/n) away like that.

(F/n): Yeah. I know I do dumb things, but even I know (Y/n) wouldn't commit anything illegal.

Emma: But why would he be taken like that though...?

Vert: We may not know the reason, but IF has strange ways of working at times... We know this from experience alone.

Blanc: It is true... But there should be some reason behind it still...

Neptune let out a groan and stomped her foot on the ground, getting her friends and other students attention from her actions.

Neptune: Why couldn't Iffy take me with them! (Y/n)'s getting a-! *muffled voice*

Neptune's mouth gets covered by Noire quickly to stop Neptune from yelling out their conversation. Noire begins to whisper into Neptune's ear on what she has to say.

Noire: (Whispers) What the hell are you doing Neptune...!? Are you TRYING to make a scene out of this...!? Be quiet...!

Noire then begins to feel something wet and slimy on her hand as Noire quickly removes her hand from Neptune's mouth. Neptune had licked Noire's hand with her tongue.

Noire: EEEEEWWWW! Neptune! That is SOOOO gross!

Neptune: Then you shouldn't try to cover a someone's mouth like that. It's quite easy to break away like that if I do say so myself.

Noire: You shouldn't even do that at all!

Neptune sticks her tongue out at Noire to make her more mad from Neptune's actions. Emma gets in between Neptune and Noire to separate both of them from each other.

Emma: Enough! Both of you are making a scene...! Please, stop fighting...!

Neptune and Noire look at Emma and then at each other before stopping their little argument. With things calming back down the other students focused back onto their own conversations like nothing ever happened.

(F/n): So, anyone else want to make a scene out of what we're doing?

The group looked at (F/n) and shook their heads to answer his question.

(F/n): Good. 'Cause if I know (Y/n), he wouldn't want us to fight each other on little things like this. Not with what's going on as of late.

(F/n) had a point in what he said as (Y/n) wouldn't want them to fight each other at a time like this. After switching their school shoes with their regular ones, the group heads out the entrance to then separate into two groups heading home. Unbeknownst to them, someone was watching them above in the school from the window. The person leaves the window and goes somewhere quiet and alone as they pulled out a communicator out of their pocket. Pressing a button, the small device begins to turn on and send a signal, only to receive back an image coming through. The image that forms is a video feed of Dionix.

Dionix (Communicator): Report.

???: (Y/n)'s "friends" have left school for the day. The idiot himself seemed to have been arrested by that police woman I saw when attacking the mall the other day.

Dionix (Communicator): Arrested?? That doesn't seem to be right... No, he mostly must have been taken out of the school for a different reason. The woman you identified with the recordings you made quite resembles that of the IF in the dimension I'm in. If anything, she is an ally to (Y/n) and those close to him.

???: Great... What reason could there be for bringing him out then?

Dionix: That I do not know. With being dimensions apart, the spy bugs I would have used would be useful, but that brat would know if he's being watched. But they can't send a videos from across dimensions, that's why I have YOU to do that and report to me with the recordings you bring back.

???: Fine. So, what should I do now?

Dionix: Do what we discussed last time. In half an hour execute our plan, I will join you in doing my part as well.

In the shadows, a smile formed that showed malicious intent.

???: Whatever you say.

Dionix: Do NOT fail me in messing up your part of the plan, Discord.

After their talk is over, the communicator turns off and Discord waits for everyone to leave the school for the day before activating a switch on their belt. Energy surges around Discord and when it dies down, Discord emerges out of the shadows in his full armor.

Discord: One way or another... I WILL make (L/n) suffer...!

After waiting half an hour, Discord leaves the school and takes flight into the air. Discord flies up high to look down below and track for any Share Energy signatures. When a couple minutes go by, Discord finds the CPUs walking in the neighborhood. The scanner Discord has scans them and in their vision, each CPU was glowing a different color. Neptune for Purple, Noire for Black, Blanc for White, and Vert for Green. With Discord's target in sight, they begin to fly down fast, but not before Noire decides to look behind her before everything goes white.

One hour later...

Location: Police Station, Interrogation Room.

Time: Evening.

The time was four o'clock as (Y/n) was still in his Aura Knight gear while IF stayed in the other room away from the chaos that was happening. Earlier, Linda had brought "Aura Knight" the tea he wanted as it sat on the table. (Y/n) grabs Simmons and slams him into the wall, getting him into an arm lock to hear Simmons yelp in pain.

Aura Knight (Y/n): So idiots like you can exist where they can grow a pair of balls huh?! I've been torturing you two punks for hours now, and you're giving me so much trouble!!

Grif was on the floor from all the abuse he's been through and could only lift a finger while groaning.

Grif: To be fair... We've been handling people like you that do this too us... We only get stronger in our resistance... But my question for YOU is: What is EVERYONE'S problem, with my BALLS...!?

Aura Knight (Y/n): You look like the person who deserves it.

Grif: Now that just hurts my-

Aura Knight (Y/n): Don't EVEN say your "pride," or I will BREAK your balls!! Be glad I leave them intact out of pity due to you being a pathetic fool, who can't guard his nuts for his life!! So lie down and SHUT UP!!

Grif becomes silent and then lies on the ground with his "pride" hurt, while (Y/n) looked at him.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Huh, now that his body AND spirit is crushed. There is no further reason to do anything else to him... Feel kinda bad doing that to him, being a man myself and all... As for you, Simmons, you seem to still be in "good" condition.

Simmons felt dread come to him and begins to sweat under his armor.

Simmons: Oh, noooo... Grif...! Get your pride back and help take some more punches for me!

Grif lied on the ground and didn't respond to which it only made Simmons scared even more.

Aura Knight (Y/n): So... Want to end up like your friend over there?

Simmons: N-No... Please... No...!

Aura Knight (Y/n): Then talk! What is with the attacks of Discord and Dionix's army? Why the attacks to get to me and the CPUs?? WHAT IS DIONIX'S PLANNING!?

Just when Simmons was gonna start talking on what (Y/n) had been fighting for, but IF bursts into the room and gains the attention. The look IF has is an alarmed look of worry written on her face. (Y/n) drops Simmons to the ground and walks over to check on IF.

Aura Knight (Y/n): IF? Are you okay?? What's going on??

Captain IF: There's trouble... And you're not gonna like it...

(Y/n) felt annoyance coming onto him from hearing that as he then looked at Simmons, making the man himself jump from fright.

Aura Knight (Y/n): You BETTER have answers for whenever I come back... As for your friend...

(Y/n) then crouched down and used Hyper Healing on Grif to heal the damage (Y/n) did to him. Grif felt his strength return and was able to sit up. Grif moves his arms and feels for any pain on his body, but they don't make themselves known. Grif sees (Y/n) walking away from both him and Simmons to join with IF, but calls out to (Y/n) before he leaves the room.

Grif: Hey! Why did you do that?! Isn't the whole "torture the enemies" supposed to hurt them?? Why did you heal me back to normal??

(Y/n) stopped and then looked at Grif from the corner from his eye.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Because... I'm not one to leave people in pain if I hurt them too much... It's not right if I leave someone in that much pain and didn't heal them back up for what I did... Besides, my real targets are Dionix, Discord and Kinja. That's why I was helping in trying to get answers from you two... I want to keep both my world AND Hyper dimension safe from people like them... Plus, you two actually amuse me... Both of you remind me of my friend and myself when we argue and get into deep shit ourselves...

Grif and Simmons looked at (Y/n) still shocked he would do that for someone like them.

Aura Knight (Y/n): So let me tell you this right now while I'm still here... There are WORSE people, that would leave you in agonizing pain... Be glad I am that one percent that wouldn't do that. So let me make it up to you and let you two have the tea that's here. The warm tea should calm your senses and rejuvenate your energy. Again... I am sorry for putting you two through that.

With having said what he needed to tell Grif and Simmons, (Y/n) exits the room with IF closing the door to keep Grif and Simmons locked in. Both of them looked at each other, still trying to come to their senses on what just happened. Walking down the hall, (Y/n) and IF begin to discuss what IF needed to tell him.

Aura Knight (Y/n): What's happening IF? I was close to finding out what Dionix and Discord want with me.

Captain IF: There have been a couple incidents while you were interrogating those two. Many news reporters have been gathering up and announcing the same thing on live television. If that isn't a sign of something bad happening, I don't know what is.

Aura Knight (Y/n): What kind of incidents?

Captain IF: A few explosions, minor as they are... Not a whole lot of damage. It's more like... a calling sign to try and gain attention for something. Another is that a train car gets abducted that's carrying passengers while it was running.

Aura Knight (Y/n): What do you mean by "abducted?"

Captain IF: That it gets stopped by someone in dark armor by force, removes a section of the train carrying people, and jumps through a black like substance in the sky. After that... both the assailant AND the train are just... gone...!

(Y/n) stops in his tracks and keeps his back facing to her.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Any clue on who it was? Is it Discord again?

Captain IF: We already have reports, but last time I remember... Discord didn't wear a cape...

This surprised (Y/n) more about hearing that bit of detail and scared him at the same time.

Aura Knight (Y/n): It's HIM...

Captain IF: "Him?" Who?

Aura Knight (Y/n): Dionix... Dionix wears a cape on his back!

After IF hears this, she begins to lead (Y/n) to where the news is being broadcasted on a television set with other officers watching it also. On it, it shows a person holding a section of a train car to keep it from falling over the edge of a building with their right hand. Words have been burned into the ground on the building as a news chopper was getting a view of the words. The person was well known to (Y/n), as the person on the building was Dionix.

Police Officer 1: "Show yourself, Guardian... Or these people die." Wait... Who's Guardian...?

Police Officer 2: That's the section of the train car that instantly disappeared...! How did it get up there...!?

Linda: Great... Another freak in our city...

(Y/n) got ticked off by Linda said and tapped Linda on the shoulder. Linda turns around and sees (Y/n), jumping away in fear and does an apologetic bow. The other officers nearby look to see this happen with some shocks on their faces.

Linda: I-I didn't mean y-you! I meant the other freak that attacked the mall from before...!

Aura Knight (Y/n): Sure you were... Now, where is that building?

Linda: It-It's a twenty minute drive from where we are. I know this city with its twist and turns. With the choppers being near where that freak is, the location should be very clear.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Thanks for the offer, but I don't need it. I got my own ride.

With knowing the information of where to look, (Y/n) begins to head for the doors of the station to go outside. IF follows close behind with both of them heading into the halls. IF grabs (Y/n)'s shoulder to turn him towards her as she had a worried look on her face.

Captain IF: You're not seriously going out there by yourself again, are you??

Aura Knight (Y/n): I don't have any choice Iffy... You saw who that message was for. He's calling me out...

Captain IF: And if I remember the last time, you fought by yourself against Discord and how did it end? With you almost DYING!!

(Y/n) gets mad and punches the wall in frustration. (Y/n) looks towards IF with a glare as she had one of her own to return to him.

Aura Knight (Y/n): If I don't go, those people will die because of me being here... It's my responsibility to protect those caught in the crossfire of this whole mess. Even if I do go out there and fight Dionix by himself... I also know what he did as Shalla before becoming who he is now... He WILL kill those people if I don't show myself Iffy...

IF took a deep breath to try and think about this whole mess and then groans out of frustration.

Captain IF: Damn it kid... Shit...! Fine, FINE. You win, but I'm calling your mother to tell her to send the CPUs your way. First chance you see them, you BETTER give them some of your energy to have them transform.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Alright, alright. Go do that and leave handling Dionix to me.

Breaking to go do their own things, (Y/n) runs out of the police station to summon his hoverboard and take to the skies to travel to where Dionix is. IF finds a secluded place to pull out her pink flip-phone and begins to call Iris. Chatter can be heard on the phone, meaning Iris picked up.

Captain IF: Iris, is Neptune and the others there? I need to talk to them real quick. It's important.

Chatter could be heard on the other side of the phone, but it sounded a little worried.

Captain IF: What do you mean they're not there? They should have returned home by now. School ended an hour ago.

More chatter could be heard over the line with IF trying to think this out.

Captain IF: If those four aren't your place, then what could have happened to them then...?

IF tries to figure out what happened to the CPUs and where they could be. Iris planned to call (F/n)'s to see if they were there before anything else happens.

Location: Downtown.

(Y/n) was on his hoverboard and flying through the air with particles of snow landing on him. (Y/n) had his goggles on to help him protect his eyes, keeping his vision clear. Some smokes can be seen rising up into the air based from what IF had told him. (Y/n) grips the scarf Noire had made for him to go back to his inventory to keep it safe from harm as he began to see the helicopters circling the building. The train car was still there, but hangs over the edge slightly with Dionix holding onto it to keep it from going over with his right hand. The people inside the train car was worried for their safety and scared for their lives. Once (Y/n) gets to the location of where they all are, he jumps off and creates an energy disk in his hand to then throw it down. The disk expands to make a platform for (Y/n) to land on as his movements catches Dionix's vision. (Y/n) stands back up and faces towards Dionix as (Y/n)'s eyes glow of an (A/c) aura under his hood.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Hello... Dionix...

Dionix: Ah, you have arrived. Reports from Discord seem to have been true in what you wore when battling them when asked to give a full review. You wear that ridiculous outfit conceal your identity from your world, even when you know you can use that crystal of yours to do that for you.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Just shut up and get on with it. Leave the people on that train alone. They play no part in what goes on here. Your real fight is with ME.

Dionix looks at (Y/n) and begins at a low chuckle and then grows louder to then quiet down again.

Dionix: The only reason you don't attack me this very second, is because I hold their lives in my hand at the moment. Once I let go, they fall to their doom.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Then pull them back and onto the building...! If you want a fight, I'm right here...! You're business is with me! But leave the innocents of this world alone!

Dionix: Your kindness for the people of your world... Are too soft. No matter what world you go to, there will always be people that wish to do others harm. I've heard of your exploits of Discord finding some... "Information" on what you do, "Aura Knight." Day in, and day out, you help the people of this town in what could happen here. But yet, you hide your true self from those you associate here and hide the dangers you possess with you being here. Are you even making an attempt to return to Hyper dimension? Aren't you worried about your "friends" that could be struggling there?

(Y/n) gripped his hand into a fist and swings his arm from left to right.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Don't try to play mind games with me. As long as the others stay in groups, you won't dare attack them. Your real threat is me AND the CPUs.

Dionix: That may be true... But I don't have to worry about the CPUs right now though.

(Y/n) was confused by what Dionix meant by that as (Y/n)'s phone rang in his pocket.

Dionix: I think, that's for you.

Keeping an eye on Dionix, (Y/n) answered the phone.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Hello?

On the other of the phone, IF was the one who called (Y/n).

Captain IF (Phone): (Y/n)! Another situation came up...!

Aura Knight (Y/n): What do you mean IF?? I'm currently trying to keep watch of Dionix from letting the train go.

Captain IF (Phone): I know that! Just listen! I called your house to see if Neptune and the others would meet up with you at the building you're at, but they're not home at all!!

This brought a shock to (Y/n) from hearing IF say that.

Aura Knight (Y/n): What about-?!

Captain IF (Phone): We already called (F/n)'s house! We checked to see if they were with (F/n) and Emma, but they weren't there either! It's like they just vanished!

This began to scare (Y/n) the more he kept hearing what IF told him. (Y/n) looked toward Dionix who just stood there holding the train car still.

Aura Knight (Y/n): Dionix...! What did you do...!?

Dionix: Me? No no. I didn't do ANYTHING. Discord on the other hand...

Hearing the sound of a jetpack going off, (Y/n) and Dionix look in the direction opposite of where the train car could was at. Over the edge of the building, Discord flies up over the edge with a trail of energy chains rose up with him. (Y/n) took a big gasp at what he sees as IF heard him over the phone.

Captain IF (Phone): (Y/n)?! What's wrong!?

Aura Knight (Y/n): I know where Neptune and the others are...

Captain IF (Phone): You do?! Where?!

Aura Knight (Y/n): Look on the news...

When IF hears this on her end, she rushes to the police room where the other officers are watching the events unfold. At the (L/n) residence, Iris was watching the same thing as IF was on the news channel with her. With hearing of what was happening with IF and Iris, (F/n) and Emma had been watching the news also to stay up to date on what was happening. To (Y/n) and the others horror, Discord sets down a bruised and beaten up Neptune, Blanc, Noire and Vert. They had taken considerable amount of damage to their bodies and their school clothes. Seeing the CPUs hurt and beaten like this (Y/n) looked at Dionix and Discord with a look of rage. (Y/n) ends the call with IF with needing to focus on the situation at hand.

Aura Knight (Y/n): First you kidnap innocent people, then you kidnap my FRIENDS?!

Discord: I would have said that these CPUs put up a good fight... But I just couldn't hold myself back from winning an "easy" fight.

Aura Knight (Y/n): YOU BASTARD!

(Y/n) says this while taking a step forward in wanting to get closer. Dionix moves the train car slightly and makes the people in the train car yell in worry at the sudden movement, while Discord picks the CPUs up and hovers off the building, threatening to drop them from the height they were at. This scares (Y/n) in retracting his foot, not wanting Dionix and Discord to do anything to harm the people and his friends.

Dionix: Ah, ah, ah. I wouldn't come any closer then that.

Discord: 'Cause you see, we have... A fun game we want to play.

Aura Knight (Y/n): A game?! These are people's lives you're messing with!!

Dionix: All the more interesting to test something out. Wouldn't you agree, Discord?

Discord: Yes, I think a game would be... Fun to watch on what happens.

Discord laughs and shakes the CPUs around slightly, making them groan in pain from the sudden movements made. At seeing how useless (Y/n) was at the moment, Dionix laughed at (Y/n) to rile him up. This made (Y/n) more angry seeing this happen and clutched his hand into a fist. With not knowing what Dionix and Discord have planned, all (Y/n) can do is watch and wait until he can actually do something.

Aura Knight (Y/n): (Thoughts) This fricken blows...! What am I supposed to do with two of my enemies holding my friends AND innocents hostage...!? What am I gonna do...?!
