Third person view.

Tuesday, December 6, 20XX

Location: Ohashi High, Entrance.

Time: Morning.

The school of Ohashi High. The school of peace and the place of where dreams can begin. Unless you were in (Y/n) and the CPUs' shoes with what they deal with at the moment. If it were any normal day, people would be minding their own business and be talking to themselves. With having watched the news and saw the fight that went on in the city, attention was more brought to (Y/n) and the CPUs when they were seen walking through the entrance to the school.

Male Students: Ah! They're here!

Female Students: (Y/n)-san! AHHHHH~!

(Y/n) had a look of annoyance with those sayings as a thought came to his head. (Y/n) pulls the hat he wears down to not look at everyone as every student began to surround him and the CPUs. Asking how they got their powers, wanting to hang out with them or getting their numbers. (Y/n) kept his silence as the CPUs noticed (Y/n)'s reaction to having this kind of attention with (Y/n) thinking to himself.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) This... is what I wanted to avoid from ever happening... Good grief...

(Insert To the beginning by Kalafina)

Location: Ohashi High, Class 2-C.

Time: Before class.

On the way into the school, (Y/n) and the CPUs were followed from when getting their school shoes on and to where their classroom was. Each of the CPUs were being asked on what they liked and what they each did for fun when not busy doing other stuff. (F/n) and Emma had already arrived first to the classroom before the others, both dealing with problems on being asked about (Y/n) at all. (Y/n) kept to himself and tried to keep attention away from him, but he couldn't find that as some student began to swarm around him too. On the other side of the room, (F/n) and Emma could see the nervous look (Y/n) had from the attention he was getting as the students began to ask him a bunch of questions.

Male student 1: (L/n)-san, how did you learn to fight like that?

(Y/n): No comment...

Female student 1: (Y/n)-san~ Are you currently seeing anyone~?

(Y/n): Yes, I am. So please don't ask me out...!

Male student 2: (L/n)-san? Can you teach me how to fight like you do?

(Y/n): Please... just stop... Stop asking me these questions...!

(Y/n) held his hands to his face in wanting to just hide from everyone right now. He would want to be home right now, but with tests coming closer and closer, it was needed to be done. The more students that swarmed around (Y/n), the more uncomfortable he got from being asked questions he didn't want to be asked about. Blanc noticed (Y/n) was in distress and slammed her hand onto her desk in gaining the attention of those around (Y/n) to look at her. Blanc had her signature angry face when pissed off.

Blanc: Alright you damn morons!! Can't you see you're making (Y/n) uncomfortable!? I swear to myself, if you keep pulling this crap, you're gonna know what pain actually feels like!! Get away from him or ELSE!!!

In fearing of what Blanc can do, the group scurried away from (Y/n) in not wanting to feel Blanc's wrath. After seeing the group of students leave (Y/n), Blanc looks to see (Y/n) was still in distress still.

Blanc: You can calm down now, (Y/n)... They're gone...

Removing his hands from his face, (Y/n) looks around and sighs to see that the students were finally gone. (Y/n) held a hand to his head in still feeling worried still as Blanc placed her hand on (Y/n)'s. (Y/n) looks at Blanc with a sad expression, while Blanc held (Y/n)'s hand more to give a light smile to him.

Blanc: Don't worry about what happens... I won't let them worry you like this.

(Y/n) looked at Blanc and nodded while giving a light smile to show that what Blanc did was helping slightly.

Female student 2: Um... Excuse me... (L/n)-san...?

(Y/n) and Blanc look to see a girl wearing a scarf around her neck and had a nervous feel to her with wanting to approach where (Y/n) was. (Y/n) and Blanc have confused looks as to why she was here.

(Y/n): Um... C-Can I help you?

Female student 2: Y-You may not remember me from back then... But I was the first person you helped... You know... in the alley with those thugs...?

(Y/n) tilted his head and then recognized the girl on who she was.

(Y/n): Oh, yeah. You got punched in the face, right?

Female student 2: Yes. Yes, that's right.

(Y/n): How have you been feeling...?

Female student 2: I'm doing okay. I've... actually got to tell you something really...

This made (Y/n) and Blanc curious with what the student wanted to say, but let her speak in wanting to be respectful.

Female student 2: At first, I acted on Johnathan's rumors about you and didn't know what to think about it... Everyone just listens to what rumors spread around and just goes by them. Because of that... Everyone, including me, just went by what was passed along and believed on them...

It hurt knowing that it was true for (Y/n) that when Johnathan would make a rumor, he would make sure it spreads to make people believe it to be that (Y/n) wasn't a good person.

Female student 2: But, you aren't the kind of man Johnathan had passed around to be believed of... The news that day showed BOTH of your true colors because of what happened.

On that day, news reporters had been recording the whole fight and even shown Johnathan's face to the public on who he really was deep down.

Female student 2: The reason I'm here... Is because of this: If you didn't show up that night, the night I was getting attacked by those thugs... I don't know what would have happened. I thought... No one was gonna save me... But, then you showed up. I wondered who Aura Knight was, and didn't get a chance to thank him for helping me that night... When you revealed who you were, I thought, I wear this scarf and coming up to you with what I wanted to say..

(Y/n) was surprised slightly hearing this and felt a sense of a warm feeling in her words with what she says as the female student gives a smile from what she says next.

Female student 2: (L/n)-san... Thank you, for saving me that night. Don't change who you are and what you do...

(Y/n) felt some happiness that someone was grateful for his help and what he did instead of just approaching to either be friends with him because of his powers or anything like that.

(Y/n): You're welcome. I'm glad I was able to help. Thank you for telling me that.

After the female student leaves, (Y/n) felt a little calmer from getting thanks from someone he's helped before while Blanc looks at (Y/n), who was able to calm down somewhat. Blanc thinks to herself on what's been happening since the battle with Dionix and Discord that day.

Blanc: (Thoughts) I'm sorry that this all happened, (Y/n)... With you getting revealed, how people are acting and how they view you now... But there are people that look at you for who you are still. You didn't have to go and tell people who you were, but you did it for the right cause. I won't let anyone else bring you down because of it.

Everyone's thoughts and conversations are interrupted as the intercom goes off with an announcement. The voice that comes through belongs the Secretary of the school.

Secretary: Mr. (L/n), please report to Principal Stevens' office please? Mr. (L/n).

(Y/n) looks at the intercom with a slight worried look while everyone else looks at him. (Y/n) gets up and begins heading for the door of the classroom while Noire and (F/n) meet him there. (Y/n) looks between (F/n) and Noire as to why they were waiting for him.

(Y/n): What are-?

(F/n): Seeing how this day is starting out, you're not going alone buddy.

Noire: Besides, you won't convince us on staying here. We can TELL you're worried. And I won't have that coming from you most of all, (Y/n).

(Y/n) looked at both of them and chuckled lightly to himself.

(Y/n): That's why you're my friend, (F/n), and also the reason why I love you, Noire.

Noire gasped while blushing hard at hearing (Y/n) say that, with some of the other students gasping nearby from what (Y/n) said to Noire.

Noire: Y-You, i-idiot...! Don't s-s-say stuff like that! Especially here at school!

(Y/n): Isn't it the truth though...?

(F/n): I agree with (Y/n)'s statement, Noire.

Noire: AHHHHH!! STOP TALKING!!

Noire took (Y/n) and (F/n)'s heads to hit them against each other in stunning them with both having a big bump on their heads. Noire grabs the back of their collars to begin dragging them behind her to the head to the principal's office. Once recovered, (F/n) stands with Noire outside the principal's office while (Y/n) enters the room to talk with Principal Stevens.

(Y/n): Y-You wanted to see me... Sir...?

Principal Stevens: Yes. Please, sit (Y/n).

(Y/n) pulls a chair that's in front of Principal Stevens' desk and sits down.

Principal Stevens: Now, (Y/n)... May I ask you, why I called you to my office today?

(Y/n): Does this have to do with the news broadcast that happened in the city almost a week ago...?

Principal Stevens nods his head in response to (Y/n)'s question.

Principal Stevens: Your whole speech when you revealed yourself, had left quite the impression on your peers and to their parents when you fought your enemies.

(Y/n): I... I bet...

The Principal sighs and stands up to go look through the window with his hands behind his back.

Principal Stevens: (Y/n)... When this Semester is over... I have some bad news for you...

(Y/n) looked at Principal Stevens with a worried look on his face at what the Principal was saying.

(Y/n): S-Sir...? What do you mean...?

The Principal turns his head to look at (Y/n) with one eye.

Principal Stevens: What I mean is... You and your friends can't come to school here... Not anymore... And I'm sure you know who I'm talking about by your "friends."

This brought a shock to (Y/n) as he stood up from his chair.

(Y/n): Sir, please! Be reasonable!

Principal Stevens: I am being reasonable! Be glad I haven't decided to automatically expel you from my school!

This made (Y/n) go quiet from the Principal yelling at him. Principal Stevens sighed and removed the glasses he was wearing.

Principal Stevens: (Y/n)... I like you as a student here with what you do being yourself and all... But after your reveal of who you were on live television... My job as a principal here has gotten tougher after what happened...

(Y/n) looked at the principal in wanting to understand of what he means by that.

Principal Stevens: More importantly on how the students "parents" feel mostly... After witnessing two of the students, who by which go to THIS school, have powers in how much destruction they could cause... The parents have threatened me on taking their sons and daughters out of this school. Fearing of both of you, your friends AND Johnathan.

(Y/n): But sir... I must say this that Johnathan wouldn't dare show his face again for a long while. Not unless it's an operation to make an attack or recon through the city... With me and the CPUs knowing who he is as Discord... He would have to be careful of not just us, but the police...

The Principal held his hand to his head and rubbed it on trying to think about this.

Principal Stevens: I understand that... I do. But that doesn't write you or your friends off from what happened. There is the news broadcast that shows, Noire, was it? She changed and including you, into different people that shouldn't be possible. Yet, it did. Not only that, but a video was even uploaded AND shown on the news of you being with Neptune at a café beating up thugs. When you two were fleeing the area she changed just like Noire into a different person as well and began to fly you and her away. You're exposure here is only making things worse.

(Y/n): Sir, I know where you're going with this... But we were left with no choice...! If I did nothing, Noire would have died and more people would have also... And you weren't even there at the café on why I had to beat them up. They were gonna drag any woman they could away and sell them on the black market for something worse...! Neptune, would have been part of being sold sir...

Principal Stevens: Hmm... Knowing you, you have a good heart in doing what's right. But sadly... this won't convince the many parents that view your perspective VERY differently... I've known you since the day you came to this school and seen the good you try to bring over last year up till now... But my duties is seeing what's best for the school and needing to keep the students' parents happy as best I can... I REALLY am sorry (Y/n)... But by the end of this semester... You know what happens... I'm sorry...

(Y/n) looks at the Principal with a look of being very worried and begins to cry with what's happening. The Principal looks away from (Y/n) and back out the window to avoid eye contact with him.

Principal Stevens: You may leave my office, Mr. (L/n)...

With Noire and (F/n) still waiting outside the door to the Principal's Office for (Y/n) to come out. When (Y/n) does, he runs out the door of the office and doesn't wait for Noire or (F/n) to even find out what happened. Noire looked in the room and at the Principal who had his back to her. Noire frowned at the Principal, indicating she wasn't happy with how (Y/n) came running out of the room.

Noire: What did you say to him...?!

The Principal doesn't look at Noire with what he said next.

Principal Stevens: All that I needed to talk to him about... Shouldn't you be more worried for (Y/n) right now...?

Noire wanted to give Principal Stevens a piece of her mind, but knew that (Y/n) should be hers and (F/n)s attention to see if they can calm him down. Both of them began to try and see if they could track (Y/n) down and see if they can get anything out of what (Y/n) talked about with the Principal.

Noire: (F/n), if you were (Y/n) being in distress right now. Where would you go?

(F/n) thought for a second and had only one idea where (Y/n) could go. Going to the rooftop of the school, (F/n) and Noire come out through the door and saw that it had begun to snow. Covering the roof in a thin layer of snow as a sound of soft crying could be heard nearby. Following the sound, Noire and (F/n) see (Y/n) with his back against the wall, holding his legs close to his chest as he cried into his arms.

Noire: (Y/n)...?

Hearing Noire's voice, (Y/n) looks towards her way with a startled look. When Noire and (F/n) could see (Y/n)'s face, he had tears going down his cheeks, indicating he had been crying.

(F/n): (Y/n)? What happened??

Noire: What did that Principal say to you??

(Y/n) looks away from (F/n) and Noire, not wanting to look at them while he was crying.

(Y/n): Please... Go away... I don't want you to see me like this...

With hearing (Y/n) say that to them, (F/n) and Noire felt (Y/n)'s pain in his voice. For (F/n), it was the pain because he was (Y/n)'s friend for nine years, while for Noire, it was because of her love for (Y/n).

Noire: That isn't happening. Not with you being like this.

(F/n): She's right, pal. You may ask, but we're not leaving.

Noire and (F/n) go closer to (Y/n) each taking a side to him. Noire was to (Y/n)'s right and (F/n) was to his left.

Noire: What did that Principal say?

(F/n): And don't even make an attempt on trying to go find another hiding place. I've been your best friend for NINE years. I don't care where you are, I'll find you, and not leave you until you've cheered up. Might as well get this over with buddy.

(Y/n) was quiet at first, but knew he had to tell them eventually. Even when he didn't want to.

(Y/n): As soon the school semester ends... Me and the CPUs won't be able to continue attending school here... Meaning we're gonna be expelled or something...

(F/n): EXPELLED?!

Noire: WHY?!

(Y/n): Because of revealing who I am on live television and because of the parents of our classmates... The parents threatened the Principal that; if he didn't take me and the CPUs out of school, all the parents would take their children out of THIS school. They fear what we can do and don't want us anywhere near their sons and daughters...

With having to explain on what's going to be happening, (Y/n) broke down into tears more with what he had to say.

(Y/n): Everything around me is changing and I can't do ANYTHING to stop it...! First the city, then my classmates, their parents and now the Principal...! Everything I said about what could happen, IS happening...! My life here is NEVER gonna be the same again...!

(Y/n) begins to cry more with what's happening and felt the world he's standing on is beginning to be destroyed with how people viewed him. (F/n) and Noire felt (Y/n)'s pain and understand with what's happening that is going on right now. (F/n) looked at (Y/n) to begin speaking to him.

(F/n): Yeah... It's never gonna be the same again... But you know what matters? You staying who you are even WHEN things go down to shit.

(Y/n) and Noire looked at (F/n) with what he was saying.

(F/n): Sure, that everyone hates you... Big whoop-de-do... But they're NOT you. They don't understand what you or the CPUs go through. It's because they choose not to, so that they can write it off like it's nothing. But not me. To me, I see my best friend that's seen a new world with amazing things that I've heard from you as stories. You're not someone that would let a friend down when they need help the most. You're still that SAME (Y/n) I've met nine-years-ago to which we've looked out for each other when in need. Even when we didn't know Emma until meeting her here last year, you stopped Johnathan from beating her up.

(Y/n) remembers the times he's had with (F/n) and the time he allowed Emma to escape with (F/n) to keep Johnathan from harming her.

(F/n): You make a difference when people are in need of help and you definitely made a difference when you disappeared man... Without you, I lost the only friend that understood me longer than I could myself. If Emma wasn't there, I didn't know what I would do really. Meeting Emma... she became one more person that could understand me for myself. Because of you, (Y/n)... Emma and I fell in love with each other.

This brought a shock to both (Y/n) and Noire from what (F/n) said as he had a bright smile to him.

(F/n): So don't let what others say get to you. You know the risks, you know what's expected and you KNOW there are people who know you for YOU. So stop your baby crying and grow a pair of balls again already.

This ticked (Y/n) off as he punched (F/n) in the head for what he said. The attack left a bump on (F/n)'s head from how hard (Y/n) punched him.

(Y/n): I'LL SHOW YOU WHO CAN GROW A PAIR!!

(F/n) began to laugh as it confused (Y/n) why (F/n) was laughing.

(F/n): And there's the friend I know that gets pissed at what I say sometimes. Glad to see you back, dude.

(Y/n) looked at (F/n) and sighed, soon smiling at (F/n)'s help.

(Y/n): You may get on my nerves... But your support is really appreciated (F/n). Thank you...

(F/n): Anytime man.

Feeling a hand on his, (Y/n) looks to where it was coming from as Noire was holding his hand.

Noire: (F/n)'s right. Sure, it'll be crazy from now on while we're here... But at least we have each other and our friends to count on to get through this mess.

(Y/n) looked at Noire and smiled, pulling her into a hug and making her blush very darkly at (Y/n)'s actions.

(Y/n): Thank you... Noire...

Noire didn't retaliate or anything and returned the hug to help support (Y/n).

Noire: No problem... (Y/n). Count on ALL of us to help you here.

(Y/n) nods his head as the three to rejoin with their classes after calming down, the day proceeded like normal with them telling their group on what went on until school ended for the day.

Location: Jonny's Restaurant

Time: After School.

(Y/n): I'm telling you I'll be fine.

Vert: And as your friends, more importantly me as your sister, we're going with you.

Neptune: Just face it, lover boy~ You're stuck with us~ This is one event we're not leaving you alone for.

(Y/n): And that's what worries me...

Once school was over, (Y/n) went to go to work at Jonny's. Vert and Neptune decided to volunteer to go with (Y/n) and make sure nothing happens with him showing up there. If one place was affected with how (Y/n) is known somewhere, Jonny's might be affected by the news about (Y/n) as well. Getting closer to Jonny's there was a line beginning to stretch out from around the corner where Jonny's was supposed to be, making (Y/n), Neptune and Vert curious. (Y/n) used his hat to hide his face in not wanting to be recognized if possible.

Vert: If my memory serves me right, there was hardly a line stretching from Jonny's this far out.

(Y/n): I'll say... They must be very busy today it seems.

Neptune: For a restaurant like where you work? I wonder why now all of a sudden? Is there some fun event going on here? Did someone place a rare monster spawn to capture? I call dibs.

Turning around the corner, they see why Jonny's was getting this much of attention as there was a sign that showed (Y/n)'s name and picture that he worked there. Even a sign saying that free autographs would be handed out by (Y/n) himself after ordering one meal from him.

Vert: Well... That seems to answer our questions...

Neptune: Mass lineup over one person? I'm quite insulted that I'm not the main center of this too, I am one of the protagonists after all... You're like a special pre-order for rare content, (Y/n).

(Y/n) lowers his hat in confusion and worry at what he was seeing as he didn't want to believe it.

(Y/n): Boss... What have you done...??

Before the three could get any closer to Jonny's, one of the people in line recognizes (Y/n) and the girls from the news, pointing to them while calling them out.

Random person 1: Hey! There he is! And he has those two girls with him!

Random person 2: You're right!

The people in line begin to head toward (Y/n), Neptune and Vert, beginning to surround them at a fast pace. Feeling alarmed, (Y/n) raised his arms and created a domed Energy Shield, keeping the people away from him, Neptune and Vert.

Neptune: And the vast popularity of recently becoming famous. How come you're getting all the attention here??

(Y/n): Now isn't the TIME, Neptune...!

Vert: I must agree. (Y/n), care to get us off the ground and into the air?

(Y/n): With pleasure.

Focusing energy to the floor, the three begins to rise up above the group of people and hover in the air, letting (Y/n) be able to lower the shield while they were on a platform. (Y/n) looks over the edge and sees that everyone wants to get near him, making (Y/n) move back away and hold his head.

(Y/n): This day... Is just not good for me...

Vert: I'll say... The people are like a mob of monsters in wanting to tear us limb from limb in my MMO games...

(Y/n): Must you phrase it like that?

Neptune pulls out a mic and holds it close to (Y/n) while having a clip-on bowtie to look a little more presentable.

Neptune: So... Mr. (L/n), got anything you want to say about your increasing rise in popularity? The audience want to know.

(Y/n) looks at Neptune and sighs at all that's happening to him.

(Y/n): I hate it... I don't like this at all...

Focusing on the floating platform the group was on, (Y/n) makes it fly to the back entrance quickly and haves them land down onto the ground. With no time to waste, the three then head up the stairs as the group of people try to keep up behind them. Opening the door, (Y/n) lets Neptune and Vert go in first, with him going in last before shutting the door and locking it behind him. The mass of people bang on the door at wanting to get in as the three were currently in the kitchen. There were chefs that were working like crazy in making meals left and right in needing to fill orders while getting more at the second.

Vert: With the demand of people, even the cooks are needing to keep up...

Neptune: Whoa... It's like someone hit the skip button to speed them up, even though this is a story that can be scrolled downward quickly...

(Y/n) looks at Neptune with what she says.

(Y/n): Okay, what is up with you today...?

Neptune: What? I like making game quotes. Or would you rather listen to all those people who REALLY want you right now?

(Y/n): *sighs* At this point... I'd rather hear this than the mob of people outside...

Neptune: I knew you would see it my way. Get any more down in the dumps, and I might have to use a revive on you to make you smile again.

It took a couple of seconds before (Y/n) let a chuckle out, satisfying Neptune while earning her a head pat from (Y/n).

(Y/n): Damn you and your jokes.

Neptune: But you love them all the same!

Hearing a door open, the group look to see the boss of Jonny's as he goes over some stuff with everyone.

Boss: We're hot and piping today people. This idea of mine has brought in people far and wide in wanting to eat here at Jonny's. Now all we need-

When the boss of Jonny's finally noticed (Y/n), he grew with delight and began to head toward (Y/n).

Boss: (Y/n), my boy. Am I glad to see you!

(Y/n) holds up a hand before his boss could come any closer, having a serious look on his face.

(Y/n): Before you come any closer than that... "Boss..." Mind explaining to me about your "advertisement" OUTSIDE?!

Boss: Yes, about that...

(Y/n): Don't you know how this has affected me?? All the people in the city, my school, or just about any place HERE is either fan crazing over this or not even wanting to associate with me!!

Boss: I know... I know...

(Y/n): Then explain why you started advertising me to your restaurant?! I didn't even get a say in this whether or not I wanted to go through with this, damn it!!

(Y/n)'s boss looked at him and sighed with what was happening. Even he felt ashamed by doing this. The chefs' attentions were drawn to the arguments (Y/n) was making.

Boss: Yes... You're absolutely right... But I needed something to attract customers... At least for a little bit...

(Y/n): And using ME was your big idea?! Boss...! I respect you and everything, but THIS?! No... I can't do this...!

(Y/n) was about to up and leave Jonny's with Vert and Neptune, when his boss began to speak again.

Boss: Look... I know what I did IS wrong... But work for today's shift, and I'll double your salary because of what I did. I'll even pay upfront so that you can have enough money to buy what we talked about last time.

This stopped (Y/n) in his tracks at hearing what his boss said. It was true, (Y/n) did need the money to buy the necklaces for Neptune, Blanc and Noire. If what his boss says is true, (Y/n)'ll be able to get more than enough to get what he wants to buy for his loved ones. Closing his fist, (Y/n) takes a deep breath in to think about the offer and then releases his breath.

(Y/n): Is your word true...?

Boss: Wh-What-?

(Y/n): I'm asking you if you are telling the TRUTH, and not LYING to me!!

(Y/n) turned back to look at his boss with a glare in them.

(Y/n): Because I have my own demands to be made, considering YOU did this.

Boss: Wh-What demands?

(Y/n) held up a finger each time he made his next demand.

(Y/n): Firstly: You BETTER keep your word about doubling my salary and pay upfront with it. Secondly: Vert and Neptune here, stays out of whatever plans you try to cook up with next! Third: After my shift is over, I'm quitting this job and not looking back because of YOUR mistake. Finally: If you don't KEEP your promises to me...

(Y/n) deepened his glare at his boss, making the room grow cold and sends shivers down everyone's spines.

(Y/n): You're going to regret ever doing this. IS. THAT. UNDERSTOOD?

Boss: Y-Yes! Understood!

(Y/n): Good. Anything else, Boss?

(Y/n)'s boss was shaking in fear from whatever he saw in (Y/n), while raising a finger.

Boss: W-Well... Would you mind wearing what you dressed in when you revealed yourself...?

(Y/n) looked at his boss and sighed at the instructions gave to him.

(Y/n): Fine. And as for those autographs, you're LUCKY that I don't turn good people away with only wanting a signature. Anything else... And you would be getting a visit from MY mother. A little advice when speaking to her... You NEVER want my mother angry...

Boss: Noted...

(Y/n) then goes to the changing area to start getting changed when Vert and Neptune talk to (Y/n) through the door.

Vert: (Y/n)?? Are you sure you want to do this...?

(Y/n): I need that money Vert... And this would only mean I gain a little extra to spare afterwards.

Neptune: What is sooooo important about getting enough of what you need to spend with, (Y/n)??

With having his combat attire under his school clothes, (Y/n) didn't need to do much on changing his clothes that much.

(Y/n): I have my reasons why... And it's not to tell you or Blanc and Noire about it. It's... something special...

(Y/n) exits out of the changing room and sighs. Vert places a hand on (Y/n)'s shoulder with some sympathy on what (Y/n) is going through.

Vert: If this gets too hard for you today... Don't be afraid to just up and leave... Getting attention like this can wear someone, including you, down very fast...

(Y/n): Thanks, Vert...

Neptune: Well, just to give you some extra recharge~

Neptune quickly pulls (Y/n) into a kiss and makes him blush crazily from the sudden kiss given from Neptune to his lips. After what felt like a minute, Neptune pulls away and winks at (Y/n).

Neptune: Feeling any better~?

(Y/n) still blushed hard and sighed from Neptune doing that, but smiled from the feeling on his lips.

(Y/n): It... Did. Thanks, Neppy.

Neptune: Anytime!

When (Y/n) went to get started working, he made sure his boss handed the money upfront like he said. The money he gained when his boss gave it to him, became more than enough for when (Y/n) goes to buy the necklaces he wanted to buy for his loved ones. Once out doing his job on taking orders for people, (Y/n) would be running around in order to help keep up with the demand that people would order for him to write down. Occasionally, due to the advertisement of gaining an autograph, (Y/n) would also be handing out autographs to any individual that ordered their meals. Vert and Neptune sat on the side lines and watched (Y/n) running around, by which was working up a sweat from him having to rush around at a fast pace.

Vert: He seems to be working hard as ever.

Neptune: Yup. (Y/n)'s all like; ZOOM here, ZOOM there, and ZOOOOOOOM everywhere. It's like he activated his NOS to go faster and stuff. (Y/n)'s all over the place!

Vert: His speed stat is high due to his training and the Crystal of Hope's power. Because of it, (Y/n)'s come far from how he first met each of us. Now, his life is getting turned upside down with how everyone in his world is reacting to finding out about him and some of us having powers...

Neptune: I wouldn't mind the attention, but you're not wrong with how things are happening to (Y/n) here... Feel sorry for him really...

With (Y/n) having to go all over the place, he then trips over someone's foot by accident and goes sailing into the air. People gasped with what was happening, as (Y/n) was heading towards a family at a table, not noticing (Y/n)'s incoming velocity.

(Y/n): Son of a bitch!!

Neptune and Vert: Oh no...!

Generating an energy disk, (Y/n) tosses it quickly in the direction he was flying toward. The disk enlarges, scaring the family nearby slightly at the sudden appearance of the disk. (Y/n) twists his body in the air to plant his feet on the surface of the disk, back flips from it and land on his feet in a crouched position to then stand back up. (Y/n) takes a sigh of relief after what just happened. Thinking it was part of the advertisement of having (Y/n) work, people clapped at how (Y/n) performed.

(Y/n): Oh boy... That was close...

???: (Y/n)?

???: Is that you?

(Y/n): Hmm?

When (Y/n) looks at the family he almost crashed into and notices it was the Takasu family.

(Y/n): Ryuuji, Taiga, Sophie? What are you three doing here??

Sophie: Hi, Mr. Hero!

Taiga: We sometimes come here to eat for lunch.

Ryuuji: We didn't think you worked here.

(Y/n) smiled at being able to see some familiar faces. Faces that were friends that understood him for who he is.

(Y/n): Hey, I don't care really. I'm just glad to see some familiar friends is all. Been... having problems with everyone knowing who I am...

Ryuuji: Trust us... I bet you do...

Taiga: We're really sorry this is happening, (Y/n)...

(Y/n): Oh, don't be like that. It'll just... take some time getting used to... that's all...

(Y/n) shakes his head and gets his notepad out and something to write with. Putting a smile on his face to

(Y/n): Anyway, what can I do for you today?

After the Takasu family orders what they want, the day proceeds as normal with a few exceptions of having to deal with angry customers. This process would keep happening until the end of (Y/n)'s shift.

Time: Night.

When time reaches eight o'clock, (Y/n) trudged into the kitchen area where Vert and Neptune waited for him and flops onto the ground.

(Y/n): So... tired... Oh, everything hurts...

Neptune goes over to crouch down and pat (Y/n)'s head.

Neptune: There, there. Let Nep-ko fill you back up with energy~

(Y/n) looks up at Neptune and smiles lightly. Humming at the light feeling Neptune was doing.

(Y/n): That feels sooooo nice right now, Neppy...~ I almost want to sleeeeeeep...~

Neptune sweats slightly at hearing that.

Neptune: Mind not falling asleep here though...? It'll be tough to carry your big self back home...

Vert: Not to mention that we might need a lift ourselves if another crowd of people try to surround us again...

A knock could be heard from the entrance of the dinning area to the kitchen. This got the attention from Vert to look where the sound came from with Neptune popping her head up from below the counter. The person responsible was Ryuuji while holding Sophie in his arms with Taiga standing next to him.

Ryuuji: If you need some help, we're glad to offer it.

Taiga: With what happened today, I'm pretty sure (Y/n) needs it.

Vert and Neptune smiled at seeing some extra help come their way.

Vert: That would be really appreciated, Mr. and Mrs. Takasu.

Putting Sophie down next to Taiga, Ryuuji heads to where Vert and Neptune are. Taking a side each of where (Y/n) is, Vert and Ryuuji lift (Y/n) up and sling his arms around them for support.

(Y/n): Ugh... So exhausted...

Ryuuji: We know. We'll get you home kid.

As the group begins to leave, the boss of Jonny's walks into the kitchen. Some looks were given to the boss, indicating they weren't happy with what happened today.

Boss: For all that's worth... (Y/n) is a good person, and he didn't deserve what I did...

Vert: Hope you're happy about today's "sales."

Taiga: If Minorin was here... She wouldn't be happy with what you did to her friend.

Neptune: Be glad you're only just a minor character for plot buddy! Otherwise you get Nepped up by yours truly!

Sophie: Meanie...

Ryuuji: Next time you want to USE our friends... Think twice on who you mess with.

Having said their piece, the group heads out of Jonny's and begin walking to get to the nearest train station.

Location: Downtown.

Walking through the city for thirty minutes, (Y/n) had recovered some his strength and is able to walk on his own, but the others remain cautious just in case he loses his footing. (Y/n) could be seen with a tired look in his eyes and yawned out, indicating he was tired.

(Y/n): My body feels like lead...

Vert: With how busy it was... It must be...

Ryuuji: That's the first time Jonny's ever been busy like that.

Taiga: Though I felt like beating him up. Making one of his workers go through that crap...

Neptune: Preach sista. I mean, (Y/n) is my hunk of a boyfriend, and only a girl like me gets to mess around with him whenever I can.

(Y/n) turned to Neptune with a half-eyed look on his face.

(Y/n): Is that all you can think about when you're with me...?

Neptune: But it's usually cuddling, kisses and enjoying some jokes.

(Y/n): Better.

Neptune giggles to herself while Vert tries to think about the dance.

Vert: Well... Not to rain on the fun you two are having, we should also try to think on what to wear for the dance in eleven days.

Neptune scratches her cheek and looks at Vert.

Neptune: Oh, yeah... I almost completely forgot about it.

Taiga: You're having a Winter dance?

Vert turns to Taiga with a smile.

Vert: Yes, we got our event notice from our teacher, Ms. Koigakubo.

This made Ryuuji raise an eyebrow at hearing that name.

Ryuuji: Wait... Does this teacher you mention have red hair and is still single?

Vert: Yes.

Neptune: Yup, even sometimes mentions about a "red thread of fate."

Taiga: Huh, what are the odds.

Ryuuji: We had that teacher also.

The group looked at each other and began to laugh with how ironic the it was to have the same teacher. The group was walking passed an alley when (Y/n) turned and yawn.

(Y/n): *yawn* Damn I'm so freaking tired... I'm so glad I can go home and rest... I'm so-

Before (Y/n) could finish his sentence, a black blur went passed him, leaving a slash on his shoulder and knocks him into the alley. This made Neptune and Vert worry on what happened to (Y/n). Going around the corner, the group rushes on over to (Y/n) and look for any threats.

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

(Y/n) groaned and sat up while holding his shoulder.

(Y/n): Ugh... I think... But what was-

???: Kill the killer...

(Y/n) froze and looked towards the sound and saw some shadow creatures forming out of the ground with a blade somewhat in each of their hands. The creatures that were appearing was the same ones (Y/n) had saw during the time he and his friends and family were in the forest training. More importantly when (Y/n) was trying to find Ivory with Blanc and Noire as company. (Y/n) groaned and used Healing to fix the small wound he got.

(Y/n): As if this night could get any worse... IT does...!

Vert: (Y/n)?? What's wrong??

(Y/n): Vert... Neptune...? Remember when we were in the forest and I had some cuts on my pajamas after Blanc, Noire and myself came back to the shack...?

Neptune: Yeah, you said you three had chased after Ivory and... Oh no...

With remembering what was explained to them back then. (Y/n) was facing the same shadow creatures in the forest, only this time, it was now in the city. Hearing Neptune's worry on what was happening, it made Ryuuji and Taiga curious as to what is happening.

Ryuuji: Hey. What's going on?

Taiga: What does Neptune mean by "Oh no?"

(Y/n): You weren't there, but when we went to the forest and trained, I faced enemies only I can see... And I'm really not happy with having to see these things again... Augh...! I'm so PISSED right now!

(Y/n) gets up and summons his swords out. The shadow creatures hissed at seeing the Sapphire Spirit in (Y/n)'s hand and begins to growl. Vert quickly places a hand on (Y/n)'s shoulder with a concerned look on her face.

Vert: (Y/n), I don't think it'll be wise trying to fight with how tired you are right now. You've had a stressful day and I must stress out that you shouldn't fight them.

(Y/n): Tch... I'm sorry, but I can't do that Vert. These things showed themselves and attacked when I wasn't looking. I've had everything go wrong for me every turn of the way today, and I'm in need of relieving some stress. And if this thing wants to volunteer, so be it.

Neptune: No! (Y/n), don't-!

Before Neptune could finish her sentence, (Y/n) charged in towards the shadow creatures and began to fight with them. (Y/n) dashed to slice one of the creatures in half as one tried to attack him from behind. Sensing a presence behind him, (Y/n) turned and crouched down to cut its legs off and then drive his sword into the head of the creature.

Creature: Murderer!

(Y/n) grits his teeth at hearing that and yells, charging towards his enemy. The creature jump back and begins to scale up the building at a fast pace. (Y/n) stops and growls at seeing it run away from him.

(Y/n): Get back here!!

Channeling energy to his legs, (Y/n) pushed to jump up high into the air. Ryuuji, Taiga, Sophie, Vert and Neptune reached to where (Y/n) was just at and looks up to see (Y/n) rising up the building at a fast pace.

Neptune: (Y/n)! Don't just blindly chase things! You're not a dog for crying out loud!

Vert: Oddly specific on saying that, don't you think Neptune?

Taiga looked at Ryuuji and he looks at her on what Taiga was implying.

Ryuuji: Really?

Taiga: You go talk to him. You're a mutt too, aren't you??

Ryuuji: How many times are we going over this?! I am NOT a dog!

???: Huh, I thought I heard some voices coming through here. And to think I see some good old friends.

The group turns around to only make Neptune and Vert confused, but not to Ryuuji and Taiga. The lady who was there had long blue hair and nearly the same height as Ryuuji. At a closer look, she had on fancy winter clothing due to the cold air. She looked to be a super model, considering her looks while wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Ryuuji: Huh? What are you doing here?

Taiga: Ugh... Great... Another dumb dog... A Chihuahua that is...

Location: Rooftops.

Going back to the fight (Y/n) was having, (Y/n) jumps over the edge of the building he followed the creature to and began to look around for it.

(Y/n): Where did it go? I know it came up here.

While (Y/n) was trying to look around, Ivory appears in front of him suddenly and scares the shit out of him.

(Y/n): HOLY SHIT!! Ivory!! Don't do that!!

Ivory: I come and go as I please. Though one question is this: Why are YOU chasing after that thing from last time? I told you to stay away from them.

(Y/n): I've been having a BAD day, and that thing attacked me first.

Ivory: Well, then return to your friends and loved ones. Chasing this thing-

(Y/n): NO!!

This startled Ivory while (Y/n) had a look in his eyes.

(Y/n): You are HIDING something from me, Ivory. You've BEEN hiding things from me all my life! I've trusted you since I first started talking to you when I was very young. And yet you come back after disappearing and I find out that you're a previous CPU of Lowee! My life here is being destroyed because of my connections to Shalla, Ivory!! What aren't you telling me!? What ARE those things?!

Creature: Purge the killer...!

Hearing the creature's voice, (Y/n) looked around and began to see more of the shadow creatures. Each having a different variation in weapon use.

(Y/n): Just what are you freaks?! WHY ARE YOU HERE?!

The shadow creatures hissed and readied their weapons.

Creatures: Kill!/Murderer!/Die!

(Y/n): Grrrr...!! Just give me a straight answer already!! Hah!!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

(Y/n) began to charge in at one of the shadow creatures while Ivory had a hand out, calling out to (Y/n) out in worry.

Ivory: No! (Y/n)! Don't attack them!!

Ignoring Ivory's worries, (Y/n) continues and begins to fight against the shadow creatures. (Y/n) attacks each one that comes his way, as one jumps onto his back to wrap their arms around (Y/n)'s neck. The shadow creature was trying to choke (Y/n) from behind.

(Y/n): G-Get off me!!

Stabbing his swords into the ground, (Y/n) grabs the shadow creature on his back and tosses them away from where he is. When seeing more of the creatures head his way, (Y/n) picked his swords up and jumped backwards to keep some distance fro his enemies. (Y/n) woud slice each creature that got too close to him. Each slice (Y/n) made against the shadow creatures, they would disappear into nothing, but only to return moments later. The longer the fight got, the more enemies he had to face in a single fight. The roof top of the building was getting more crowded, as the shadow creatures began to surround (Y/n). By then, (Y/n) was getting a headache as it would grow larger with having to keep fighting.

(Y/n): How many of you are there?! This is getting ridiculous!

Creatures: Destroy!/Kill the monster!/Revenge!

(Y/n): SHUT UUUUUUPPPPPP!!

(Y/n) rushed in toward the group of enemies and began his assault on those around him. Each shadow creature he would slice in half, seemed to stay longer before vanishing to spawn a new enemy. (Y/n) gets shot from behind by an arrow and yells out in pain. He turns towards the bow user and charged at them to cut them down from head to toe. With being distracted, (Y/n) felt two knives plunge into his back and felt more of a stinging pain from it. (Y/n) tried to reach for the weapons he felt on his back, but only phased through them.

Creature: Weak...! Defenseless...!

(Y/n): Auuugghhh...! I'm getting tired of all of this! Go away!! LEAVE ME ALOOOOOOOONE!!!

(Y/n) unleashes his aura and turns around to face his enemies. (Y/n) crossed his blades and aimed one blade at the creatures' chest and one at the legs. The attack cuts the shadow creatures into three pieces as each piece fell to the floor with a thud. (Y/n) saw some enemies charge at him and blocked each strike made to him as three arrows pierced his back, making him lose his balance.

(Y/n): Aaaahhh! Damn it!

(Y/n) fell to the ground and began to feel blades stabbing him and punches connecting to his face. Each shadow creature that was there began to dog pile up on where (Y/n) was in order to trap him there.

Creatures: Get him!/Finish him!/Destroy!

This did not bode well, for (Y/n) yelled and explodes with energy.

(Y/n): GET OFF ME!!!

The force of the aura he unleashed sent each shadow creature nearby up into the air with having been on top of (Y/n). (Y/n) jumps up and channels energy to his legs to create small platforms each time he jumps up to go higher. (Y/n) does this to go for the enemies that were high up in the air and slice each one he comes across. When landing back onto the roof, the pieces of the shadow creatures fell with a thud each. (Y/n) was panting and holding his head in pain while casting Hyper Heal to heal his wounds. (Y/n) looked around and saw that there was still some enemies left as the body parts of the shadow creatures were taking longer to reform and come back for more.

(Y/n): This ends now...! I don't care who you are...! Just leave me alone...!

Creatures: Murderer...!/Killer...!/Must destroy...!

(Y/n): Fine... If that's how it is... You can die for all I care...!!

(Y/n) readied his blades and began to charge in towards the shadow creatures, with them getting their weapons ready also. But changes began to happen to the shadow creatures. (Y/n) could see color forming on them and see skin coming through. Once (Y/n) saw what the shadow creatures were forming into... It was that of the Shinzuyaku Clan, Shalla had murdered in his time.

(Y/n): W-What?! NO! This has to be a trick! Y-You're ALL dead!!

Clan members: Murderer! Killer!

(Y/n) holds his head in hearing those words and looks around to see that each of the shadow creatures he had attacked, shift into other members of the Shinzuyaku Clan. (Y/n) falls to his knees while holding his head. The pain (Y/n) was experiencing was almost head splitting from what (Y/n) was dealing with. Unbeknownst to him at the moment, (Y/n)'s crystal was darkening at a quick rate. The Clan members began to charge in, forcing (Y/n) to defend and attack back at each one that got too close to him.

Clan members: Monster! Killer of our people! Eradicate!!

(Y/n): No! Stop it! That wasn't me...! I'm not Shalla...! I'm not-...!

Clan members: Shalla must die! Shalla must be killed!! Shalla can not be afford to LIVE!!!

(Y/n): NOOO!!! I'M NOT SHALLA!! MY NAME IS (Y/N)!!

(Y/n) began to cry out in pain from what was happening to him. (Y/n)'s aura began to surge and would get bigger slowly by the second. In Hyper dimension, Dionix was going over some reports until he felt a surge of energy course through him.

Dionix: This feeling...! (Y/n) must be in extreme stress right now...! *chuckles* Whatever is happening, if this can keeps up long enough... (Y/n) will be gone forever!

Dionix began to laugh at knowing (Y/n) was in intense pain and reveled in it. Back on Earth, (Y/n) began to see other things the more he kept losing control. He began to see people close to him, but with either shocked or glaring expressions on their faces.

Jasper (Illusion): Son... What have you done...?

(F/n) (Illusion): (Y/n)... Y-You... You killed them..!

Emma (Illusion): N-No...! Stay away...!

(Y/n)'s heart began to beat faster the more he heard the illusions talk to him. Making him worried and afraid as his eyes began to glaze over into emptiness.

Vert (Illusion): Y-You're not the sweet brother I thought you were... Murderer!

Blanc (Illusion): I thought you helped those around you...

Noire (Illusion): Instead... You're nothing but a psycho killer.

(Y/n) held his head more and began to cry, closing his eyes as tears began to stream from his eyes.

(Y/n): N-No... I'm not... I'm not...

Iris (Illusion): I could never love a son that would do such a thing... Get out of my sight!

(Y/n): M-Mother...

In (Y/n)'s right ear, he could hear Neptune's voice with what he heard next.

Neptune (Illusion): You killed all of those people... You lied to me and I gave you my trust...

(Y/n) looks at Neptune with tears still streaming down his face.

(Y/n): N-No... Neptune... I didn't...

Neptune (Illusion): (Y/n)... I HATE you!

(Y/n) went wide eyed hearing that come from Neptune, as it was the last thing he didn't want to hear from Neptune most of all.

(Y/n): No... No...! No no no no no...!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

(Y/n) eyes glazed over to become empty and screamed up to the heavens with his eyes closed and holding his head with his hands. With all the verbal assault (Y/n) had just went through, his aura began to surge more to where it would shoot out at random, hitting anything nearby to explode on contact. The door to the roof (Y/n) was on opens up, as Neptune and the others come out to see what's going on as the wind began to pick up around the building with lightning being generated.

Neptune: Is it me? Or does it feel breezy up here?

Vert: Not the time to joke around, Neptune...!

(Y/n): AAAAAARRRRRggggghhhhh!!

A stream of energy shoots out of (Y/n)'s aura and hits the side of the door frame. The blast makes it explode on contact as the others went to search for cover.

???: Okay... Can somebody tell me, WHAT THE F*** IS GOING ON?!?!

Ryuuji: Ami... Language...

Taiga: Don't EVER cuss in front of MY child, Stupid Chihuahua!

Taiga kicks the now named Ami in the leg, making her yelp in pain.

Ami: OW! Need I remind you that we are in a DANGEROUS situation right now?!

Taiga: You don't don't think I know that?!

Ryuuji: Can we not do this right now you two...?

As the two talked a couple of pots above where they hid at broke apart and scattered in different directions. Sophie yelled in fright while Ryuuji held her softly.

Sophie: DADDY! I'M SCARED!! *crying*

Ryuuji: Shhhhh... Shhhh... It's okay. (Y/n) just... needs some help is all...

Ryuuji poked his head up over the side and saw (Y/n) being swarmed by energy. This made Ryuuji sweat with having to see this and ducks back down. He then looks over to Neptune and Vert, pointing to them with some calmness in what he says.

Ryuuji: You two, go help (Y/n).

Neptune: Huh?! Why us?!

Taiga: Isn't (Y/n) your boyfriend, Neptune?? Go help him!

Neptune: Uh... I would like too... But...

Neptune pokes her head up next as a blast of energy almost takes her head off. The tip of her head smoked slightly with how close the blast was.

Neptune: I would like to say I'm allergic to dying...

Vert: Neptune...

Neptune: I know... Just trying to liven up what's happening...

Taiga then pulls Neptune in close by the collar, being face to face with her. Taiga had a complete serious glare, making Neptune sweat from how Taiga was looking at her.

Taiga: Listen to me... If you don't stop this RIGHT NOW, I'll give YOU something worse to FEAR!! I wasn't named the "Palmtop Tiger" at Ohashi High for nothing!! Do something, or ELSE!!

This brought a shock to Neptune and Vert from hearing that as Blanc had told them what she and (Y/n) had heard together of how two students gave (Y/n) a nickname.

Vert and Neptune: YOU'RE the "Palmtop Tiger?!"

Taiga: Taken by your surpriseness, you've heard of that name... Now, if you want to avoid what I can do... GO CALM (Y/N) DOWN ALREADY!!

Ami: Trust me when I tell you this, Taiga is worse than what you think she can do. I should know. She WILL mess your day up if possible.

Neptune and Vert looked at each other with what they wanted to say first.

Vert: Well... This will be a surprise for (Y/n) later...

Neptune: Given what we know and what nickname (Y/n) was given... It will be... But it actually fits with her character to be honest.

Taiga held up a fist and shakes it furiously at Neptune and Vert.

Taiga: STOP TALKING AND DO SOMETHING!!

With no choice but to go out of their hiding place, Neptune and Vert went onto each end and poked their heads out. (Y/n) kept surging energy while holding his head in pain. Blasts of energy kept shooting out of him as Vert had to dodge one that went her way.

Vert: Neptune, I don't want it to have to come to this, but with how (Y/n) is right now... We may need to knock him out...

Neptune: You may be right... Oh boy... Just what happened to (Y/n) to make him go berserk...?

Vert: A good question for when we have time. Right now though... We MUST get (Y/n) to stop first.

With both Neptune and Vert ready to jump, each jump out of the side areas of their cover spot. Both beginning to circle around where (Y/n) is while avoiding any blasts that come their way.

(Y/n): AAAAAAHHHHHH!! Nggggghhhhhh... RRAAAAAGHHHHH!!!

Energy surged more around (Y/n), which made him begin to float off of the ground with how much energy was trying to push out. The blasts that would emit from the surges began to shoot out faster and faster.

Vert: Neptune! Judging from those blasts, if (Y/n) keeps surging like this, he'll cause a LOT of damage with what will happen...!

Neptune: In Neptune language please...?

Vert: Too much energy! BIG BOOM!!

Neptune had a shocked look on her face at hearing that.

Neptune: Oh boy...

(Y/n) yelled and released a force of energy the pushed Neptune and Vert in different directions to hit against the wall. The two get up slowly and recover their senses to see the wind beginning to pick up more.

Vert: Damn...! Where is (Y/n) storing all of this energy?! This has never happened before...!

Neptune and Vert began to push forward while taking their time to walk towards (Y/n) slowly. A beam of energy shoots passed Neptune and hits a pot, making it explode on contact with one beam hitting near where Vert's feet are. In Hyper dimension, Dionix was laughing at the energy he was feeling.

Dionix: Hahahahahaha! This power! It feels amazing!! Hahahahaha! Not much longer! Come on! Lose yourself to insanity! (Y/n) (L/n)!!

On Earth, (Y/n) clutched his head more in pain and yelled up to the top of his lungs. Waves of energy were being sent out in pulses with anything it hits gets knocked backwards. Neptune gets hit by the pulse and rolls backwards onto her stomach while Vert gets sent into a wall and becomes pinned from the force of the energy (Y/n) was sending out.

Vert: C-Can't move...! Neptune! Do Something...!

Neptune: Yeah... Not sure I want to be getting any closer than this...!

Ryuuji and Taiga: Neptune!!

Ami: Get your ass in gear and stop that crazy man already!!

Neptune: Alright, alright already! And don't call him crazy! That's my man you're talking about! Asked to be the protagonist, and this is the results... I get myself into a lot of situations because of this...

Neptune gets up and focuses on a balance she feels comfortable and begins to push against the force that was pushing her back. Neptune kept walking in an effort to get closer to (Y/n) and help him. (Y/n) was floating slightly off the ground, holding his head while having his eyes closed in pain. (Y/n) could be seen by Neptune, getting closer to where (Y/n) was and reaches a hand out to him. Another force of energy hits Neptune by surprise and pushes her back slightly, but doesn't knock her down. Neptune plants her feet more and pushes harder to get closer to where (Y/n) was, until she is able to grab his wrist.

(Y/n): Don't touch me!!! GO AWAY!!

From feeling someone touch him, (Y/n) pushed out more energy in wanting to make anyone who was touching him right now to let go of him. Neptune gets picked up into the air from the wind and force of energy surging around the area, but Neptune holds onto (Y/n) for dear life.

Neptune: (Y/N)! You have to stop! You need to calm down!!

(Y/n): Be quiet! Shut up!! Stop talking to me!!

Using what strength Neptune can muster, she pulls herself closer to (Y/n) and takes both of his wrists. Neptune grips (Y/n)'s wrists so that she doesn't get sent flying away from (Y/n).

Neptune: (Y/n), please! Please you have to look at me...! I'm very worried for you right now...!

(Y/n) begins to open his eyes and look at Neptune to see the worried look on her face. His eyes seemed to be devoid of any life in them.

(Y/n): N-Neptune...?

Neptune: Yes! It's me! Please! You have to listen to me! What you're doing right now, is going to hurt people nearby with you losing control like this! If you don't calm down, something VERY bad will happen!!

(Y/n) closed his eyes and began to yell out more. His energy surging out of control.

(Y/n): No...! You're not real...! This is some sort of trick...! I can't tell what's real or fake...!

The blast (Y/n) sends out tries to force Neptune away, but she doesn't lose her grip in needing to help (Y/n).

Neptune: (Y/n)! I'm telling the truth! I AM here!! PLEASE! LOOK AT ME!!

(Y/n) looked at Neptune once again to see her crying, droplets of tears flying off of her and into the wind from what's happening with a sad expression on her face.

Neptune: I don't know what happened to make you lose this much control... But I'm really worried what will happen if this keeps up! Dio WANTS you to lose control over your emotions from what Noire heard him say! Whatever sinister plans he has cooked up, you can't let it happen (Y/n)! Think of your family! Your friends! What about ME even...!? You mean so much to me...!!

Neptune pulled herself closer to (Y/n) in order to hug him and began to cry more.

Neptune: You big dumb dummy... Please... I don't want to lose this side of you... *crying* I love you...

Hearing those words and feeling the droplets of tears pelt softly against his skin. A mere illusion's tears wouldn't hit his skin if the Neptune he saw wasn't real.

(Y/n): N-Neptune...?? Is it really you...??

Neptune nods her head in hugging (Y/n) tighter to show that she was real as she can be. Even though (Y/n) could feel his own heart racing with what he experienced. He felt another beating sensation matching his own against his chest. In an unconscious action, (Y/n) returned the hug and began to focus on that instead. The need to hold someone you trust as close as you can. With the lack of focusing on his worries diminishing, the surging of (Y/n)'s power started to rescind and fade away slowly. The force keeping both of him and Neptune in the air started to die down until they were on their knees while Vert was able to get off the wall. Feeling the need to be sure, (Y/n) moves his head to be at Neptune's chest and listens closely to what he needs to hear. Each beat sounds off to where (Y/n) is hearing, indicating he was hearing that of a beating heart. Hearing that beating heart, made (Y/n)'s confirmation that he wasn't making things up and the person he saw was the real Neptune to him.

(Y/n): Neptune... Neptune...!

Neptune: I'm right here... I'm not leaving you...

Hearing those words, (Y/n) began to cry and hold Neptune closer, burying his face into her shoulder.

Neptune: Let it out... Let it out...

With (Y/n) being able to calm down, the wind that was surrounding the building began to slow down with the Crystal of Hope returning to it's regular blue glow. In Hyper dimension though, Dionix noticed the sudden decrease of his surge of power, becoming furious at wondering what was happening.

Dionix: No! Nonononono no no NO!! I almost had it!! A little longer and it would have had control over that brat! DAMN IT!! I was THIS close!!!

???: Hmm, guess THAT wasn't meant to be for you again, friend. Heh.

The sound of a new voice caught Dionix's attention, as he turned to the source. This person hid in the shadows as their figure and voice was shrouded in mystery. Dionix then turned towards the voice at recognizing it.

Dionix: YOU... So... you finally show yourself again...? Been a while...

The person in the shadows chuckled at Dionix's saying.

???: TOO LONG as I should say... Mind catching me up to speed perhaps? I've got all the time in the world to listen here.

The camera zooms out as Dionix talks to the mysterious person in the shadows in secret. Back on Earth, (Y/n) was beginning to finally unwind and calm down again with the others coming out. (Y/n) begins to pant and feel tired from what happened to him as Neptune softly stroked his head.

Ami: Okay... Now that everything has calmed down... WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!

(Y/n) looks in the direction of the new voice and was confused to who it was.

(Y/n): Huh...? Who're you...?

Ami was gonna explain until Taiga covered her mouth to stop her from speaking.

Taiga: THAT can be explained later... For now... I would like to leave the area and get to somewhere more comfortable to talk about WHY this happened.

Vert: That would probably be the best... Considering many people will notice (Y/n), given what just happened in our vicinity...

A person clears her throat as all attention goes to Ami.

Ami: If you need a quick getaway, I can help out with that~

Getting down from the roof top of the building and back to the alley, Ami heads for a vehicle she came in. This surprised Neptune and Vert, but with Ryuuji and Taiga knowing who Ami is, they weren't surprise by the least. Ryuuji and Vert were currently carrying (Y/n), to which was too tired to walk right now.

Neptune: You own a limo?!

Ami: Of course I do, I am a model after all. Unlike someone I know. *chuckles to herself*

This ticks Taiga off with how flamboyant personality.

Taiga: You wanna say that again, Stupid Chihuahua!?!?

When Taiga yelled, it attracted some unwanted attention of nearby pedestrians. Some had recognize who (Y/n), the CPUs and Ami was and began to hurry on over and talk to them.

Ami: Idiot! Get inside!! All of you!!

Following Ami's command, the group began to file into the limo with Ami closing the door and locking it quick. People began to surround the limo in an attempt to get a picture if they could, which made some people in the limo feel nervous in their situation. Ami tapped on the window of the limo driver's side to get his attention.

Ami: Step on it!

When given her command, the limo began to speed away in order to get away from the crowd of people. Taking a deep breath and removing her sunglasses, Ami takes a look around the inside of the limo. But her focus was more on Vert, Neptune and (Y/n), for the three of them had piqued her curiosity as to what had happened minutes ago.

Ami: Okay... Start talking... Who the hell are you people?

Location: Takasu Residence

After and hour of explaining to Ami, she was filled in on what happened to the group in a short time as simple as they can. Any information given to her, Ryuuji and Taiga would confirm on what was being said was true. Arriving at the Takasu residence. (Y/n) is helped inside to the living room.

Ryuuji: Anyone want something to drink?

(Y/n): Maybe some tea... Jasmine tea if you have any...?

Ryuuji: I'll see if we have any.

With Ryuuji going to go make some green tea, (Y/n) gets tackled to the ground by the small child Sophie into a cuddle. (Y/n) looked at Sophie and then looked at Vert with what he wants to say.

(Y/n): Why is it that I feel like I'm a tackle bag for children sometimes...?

Vert: I think it's rather cute to be honest.

Neptune: I find it to be hilarious really.

(Y/n) sighed and decided to just roll with it and pat Sophie on the head, earning a soft hum coming from the little girl herself. Ami took a seat on the floor with the group and wanted to clarify some things.

Ami: So, let me try and put it in a way I can understand... You three and two other girls came from another dimension with powers. While you, (Y/n), were pulled into their world first. With what happened here and in "Hyper dimension" was it? You learned some dark secrets, and now try to get back to there as soon as you can?

(Y/n) sits up while holding onto Sophie to keep her from falling off of him.

(Y/n): By which to get the attention away from this dimension in our battle... Pretty much...

Ryuuji then comes in and sets some cups and a tea pot on the table. (Y/n) looked at Ryuuji and gave a notion to show a sign of thanks.

Ami: Then you must be that boy I saw on the news nearly a week ago. Yet, my friends here seem to know you longer before that...

Ryuuji: That's because (Y/n) helped rescue Sophie from the fire we told you about.

Ami had a shocked look on her face at hearing that.

Ami: Shit... You're not kidding, are you?

Taiga: Why would we? Sophie would have died in that fire. If it wasn't for (Y/n), she wouldn't be here right now... Even Minorin would have died from that son of a- *sighs* But in short... We trust (Y/n) with our lives.

Ami looks at Taiga and then towards (Y/n) with a look before smiling.

Ami: Fine, I'll believe all of this. You only live once to be part of something bigger going on around you... So, I'll put my trust in this kid also. The name's Ami Kawashima, Supermodel.

(Y/n) heard what Ami said and smiled slightly at hearing those words, while feeling a small tingle in his body from earning Ami's trust.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Again... Why do I feel... an increase of energy when hearing someone trust in me...?

Hearing someone clear their throat, the group turned to Vert as she had something to say.

Vert: Not that I enjoy simple interactions and heartfelt words... I would like to make one thing explained tonight if possible, and I would like it to be about (Y/n) losing control just recently.

(Y/n): Vert...

Vert: (Y/n)... You know I won't let this go. It's best to start explaining before you make it harder later on.

(Y/n) then looked at Sophie and sighed.

(Y/n): Ryuuji...?

Ryuuji: Yeah?

(Y/n): Please take Sophie out of the room... I can't let her hear what's about to be said...

Nodding his head, Ryuuji then takes Sophie to get her winter clothes on and go out an play in the snow. With Sophie out of earshot, (Y/n) could explain what he knows.

(Y/n): Those shadow creatures I told you about... I even know what they are now...

Taiga: "Shadow creatures?"

Ami: What do you mean?

(Y/n): There are these... Things, I can only see and they're only targeting me... I actually took damage from fighting them and this even happened in the forest.

Vert: You mentioned that you know what those things are now... What did you see...?

(Y/n) covered his mouth and closed his eyes, feeling tears begin to slide down his face.

(Y/n): Those... THINGS... They're supposed to be the dead clan members of the Shinzuyaku Clan...

This brought great shock to both Vert and Neptune with knowing about (Y/n), but Taiga and Ami had to be explained on who they were first.

(Y/n): Not only that... After I began to feel my head hurt... I began to see some of the people I had close connections to... My parents, my friends and... And...

(Y/n) was almost about to cry from remembering what had happened when Neptune tackled (Y/n) to the ground.

(Y/n): N-Neptune...!

Neptune: Nope! None of that! We are not having you lose control again! Stopping you from exploding once was a hassle already, and I am not gonna let my boyfriend pop like a balloon if he gets to angry. Besides... Not letting you pull a Vegeta move...

(Y/n): What kind of analogy is that anyway?!

Neptune: The audience will get what I mean in general.

(Y/n): That doesn't make sense at all! There is no audience!! What kind of sick meta are you trying to pull here?!

Neptune: None at all, I just do it because it's ME after all.

(Y/n): Neptune...!

(Y/n) begins to pull out his harisen fan until Neptune saw him doing this. Time freezes to allow Neptune to look at the audience.

Neptune: Me thinks I should start running. Thank you Soejammy for the brief moment to prepare myself to run~

Neptune gets up onto one knee until time resumes to where (Y/n) begins to chase Neptune. The both of them run into every room imaginable while making the others laugh at their shenanigans.

Location: Downtown.

After giving thanks for their hospitality, (Y/n), Neptune and Vert had left the Takasu residence and began their walk home. It was currently eleven o'clock at night. The three were currently walking in the city to try and catch the last train to home. When walking passed the same jewelry store (Y/n) would stop at the window everyday. He looked at the three necklaces he had sought out to buy for a long while and thought about Neptune, Blanc and Noire. A hand waved in front of his face as some voices were trying to call out to him.

Vert: (Y/n)? You okay?

Neptune: He's spacing out again... And at this place too? Guess lightning strikes twice somewhere...

(Y/n) snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the two.

(Y/n): Oh...! Sorry. D-Did I space out?

Vert and Neptune look into the window to try and see what (Y/n) was looking at. (Y/n) freaked out when Neptune looked and pried her away from the window.

(Y/n): What did I tell you before, Neppy?!

Neptune: Why all the suspiciousness!? This is the second time now!

(Y/n): Then stop trying to look!

When Vert looked at (Y/n) at being worried from Neptune looking in the window, a thought came to her as she looked at three necklaces that were next to each other.

Vert: (Thoughts) These necklaces... Could it be...?

Looking at the controller with the red jewel in it, Vert looked at Neptune and to the necklace.

Vert: (Thoughts) Ah, I see... This is why (Y/n) was wanting to work hard now.

(Insert Pray by Haruka Chisuga)

Walking over to (Y/n) and Neptune, Vert helps pick Neptune's legs up to help (Y/n) restrain Neptune.

Vert: I think we've over welcomed our stay in the area. Shall we return home you two?

Neptune: Oh what?! Why?!

Vert: Reasons Neptune. And I believe (Y/n) can agree with what I mean?

Vert winks at (Y/n) at what she means, making (Y/n) become shock at Vert figuring out why he was restraining Neptune.

Neptune: HEY! I saw that! What did you figure out?! Teeeeeellllll meeeeeee!

Vert and (Y/n): No.

Neptune: Cheats! Hacking! I call hacking!

(Y/n): How are we hacking?! This isn't a video game!

Neptune: As far as you know! *Neps internally*

(Y/n): EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!

Vert: Oh my... This is gonna take a looooong while to get back home...

With (Y/n) and Neptune bickering to each other, Ivory watches from a distance from the three.

Ivory: (Thoughts) (Y/n)... You never asked for this... You don't even DESERVE this... What's happening and everything... I'm so sorry...

Looking up slightly, Ivory sees a figure on the roof as it vanished in an instant. Surprising Ivory how it happened.

Ivory: (Thoughts) H-Huh? Who was that?

Ivory began to think about what she saw and disappears for now.

Chapter 19. End.

In the (L/n) living room, Neptune pushed some boxes around with Noire sitting nearby. Once Neptune was ready, she joined with Noire while holding a rope to lower a sign.

Nepstation!! Episode preview!

Neptune raises the sign again and holds the rope with her foot.

Neptune: Nepstation!

Noire: So... Why are we doing this...?

Neptune: Because we haven't done one in this entire book! We usually do it every once in awhile, but this is Earth and all, and because of that-

Noire: You forgot to bring it... Didn't you?

Neptune looks at Noire with a look.

Neptune: We ALL got sucked here by surprise. How was I supposed to know we be leaving our dimension after an epic boss fight?!

Noire: We didn't... *sighs* Oh, well. Let's just hurry and get this over with quickly.

Neptune grabs some papers and gives some to Noire.

Neptune: *clears her throat* Hello viewers! Been a long while since we talked to you like this!

Noire: A LONG while that is.

Neptune: (Y/n) sure has come a long way with having to deal with the situations around him.

Noire: Even the fact after he exposed himself to the whole town.

Neptune: Even then, we still don't know what Dio 1 and 2 have plans for making (Y/n) go berserk...

Noire: One thing for sure, whatever they have planned, we'll stop it before it CAN happen.

Abby walks on by holding Shadow in her arms and notices Neptune and Noire talking to a camera.

Abby: Nep? Noire? What are you two doing...?

Neptune and Noire look behind them and see Abby.

Neptune: Oh, hey Abby.

Noire: We're just doing something to pass the time.

Abby: Like what?

Neptune: Nepstation, of course!

Noire: It's just a thing we do.

Abby looks at the camera, blinking her eyes a few times and then back to Neptune and Noire.

Abby: Okay... But why are there people watching us...?

Neptune: That's because- Wait, what?!

Noire: Y-You heard that too... Right Neptune...?

Abby was confused with how Neptune and Noire was acting. Neptune and Noire looked at Abby with some shock in their eyes.

Neptune: Abby...? Did I hear you correctly?

Abby: About what...?

Noire: Seeing people over there.

Abby: You mean the people watching us right now...?

Neptune and Noire became shocked more at hearing that again.

Neptune: Oh my gosh, she's broken the wall!

Noire: Neptune! I think you rubbed off on Abby too much!

Neptune: I feel proud of this achievement!

Noire: Don't feel proud! Feel more worried of how (Y/n) is gonna take hearing his sister doing this!

Neptune: Oh, she'll be fine. We needed someone else to break the wall anyway...

Abby became confused with what the two were saying.

Abby: What wall...? Will Onii-chan be mad...?

Noire: No no, Abby... You won't be in trouble... Neptune on the other hand... will...

Neptune: Huh?? Why?!

(Y/n) walks into the room and sees the cardboard boxes everywhere.

(Y/n): Okay, how did this happen? I know we didn't have this stuff here...

Abby runs up to (Y/n) with some excitement in her voice.

Abby: Onii-chan! Onii-chan! I see people!

(Y/n) looks at his sister confused at what she meant.

(Y/n): What do you mean?

Abby: This way! This way!

Abby pulls her brother into view and points at the camera.

Abby: There! There! People are looking at us! It's like we're on t.v.!

(Y/n) looks at Abby and looks at the camera, but doesn't see what Abby sees. (Y/n) takes a deep breath and looks at Neptune.

(Y/n): Neptune... Did you do something to Abby...?

Neptune: I did nothing! How can you blame me?!

(Y/n): Because Abby is doing the exact same thing you do all the time!

Neptune: Not my fault she can see the world from how I see it!

(Y/n): That's not a good thing at all!

Neptune: Not my fault if you can't see other people. I blame you for poor character build.

(Y/n) yelled and was about to start chasing Neptune, until the cardboard sign falls on (Y/n) from Neptune letting the sign fall.

Neptune: Time to run! So proud of you Abby~

Abby giggles from the head pat Neptune gave to her before Neptune begins to run away. (Y/n) gets back up and shakes a fist towards Neptune.

(Y/n): Get back here Neptune!! Eggplants! Eggplants for dinner! Eggplant soup for you Neptune!!

(Y/n) begins to chase after Neptune with Noire sighing.

Noire: Guess we're gonna have to end it here... This was supposed to be an episode preview... Abby? Would you like to join in on saying bye for now?

Abby: Okay!

Noire: Thanks for tuning in onto Nepstation.

Abby: Have a nice day! Say "Bye bye." Shadow.

Shadow: Yip! Yip!

Noire and Abby: Bye bye.

Objects began to fly past as Neptune is seen ducking and dodging stuff that was thrown at her.

(Y/n): I will make you eat eggplants for dinner Neptune!

Neptune: Never!!

Neptune kept running with (Y/n) close on her heels. Noire holds a hand to her head.

Noire: Ugh... Someone please give me strength to tune out this noise...

Nepstation. End.
