Vert's point of view.

Wednesday, September 28, 20XX

Location: (L/n) Residence.

Time: After School.

It was just another normal day coming home from school for most of the student today, but for me, the CPUs, (F/n) and Emma... It wasn't the same while (Y/n) got suspended.

Neptune: Man... School sucks... If I had known it would be this boring, I wouldn't have come here to this dimension in the first place...

Noire: First of all Neptune, we didn't have a choice, and second, being bored at school is the least of our worries...

Vert: I agree with you Noire. With what happened on Saturday last week is most concerning with what happened that night...

(F/n): Yeah... I never seen (Y/n) get that mad before...

Emma: It wasn't his fault...

Blanc: Right...

What our group is talking about, is the events that happened on Saturday when the dodgeball tournament happened. We had our chance to get back at Johnathan in a game of sports, but it all backfired on us. (Y/n) was the one who took most of the heat really... When Blanc was hit by Johnathan by a surprise throw to her face, it set (Y/n) off to lose control of himself. I can still remember the talk that happened on Sunday that discussed what happened at the school...

(Insert Kirihirake! Gracie☆Star here)

(Flashback)

Sunday, September 25, 20XX

Time: Afternoon.

It was a normal afternoon at the (L/n) Residence, until we all heard Iris yelling at (Y/n). The school had called and told her of the incident and how many weeks (Y/n) was suspended for. She was not happy when she got the call from the principal. Iris whacked (Y/n) with a frying pan when she heard about it as he rubbed his head in pain.

Iris: I cannot believe you did that at School. At school of all things!!

(Y/n): I know mom... I-I'm sorry...

Iris: That isn't good enough. You hit a student (Y/n), and now you're suspended for half a month! That's two weeks worth of school you will be missing!!

We looked at (Y/n) who had his eyes closed as he was being punished by his mother. We had explained the situation to his mother after getting the call from the principal of the school, but it didn't stop her from scolding her son.

Iris: I am very disappointed in you (Y/n). I hope this teaches you a lesson. Learn from it and move on. Don't let it happen again.

(Y/n) kept his eyes closed until his mother went to go do something else. Mr. (L/n) was with us at the time and including Abby who was sitting next to (Y/n).

Mr. (L/n): What has happened cannot be changed my son. What you can do instead is learn from it and make an attempt to prevent it from happening again like your mother said.

(Y/n) looked to his father still feeling ashamed for what he did at the school.

Mr. (L/n): Everyone makes mistakes and has their problems to face when that time comes. It's what makes us human. No one is perfect, and that includes all of us. We have our ups and downs, but how we choose to tackle these problems is up to us. How you deal with your inner problems now, is up to you.

After finishing what Mr. (L/n) had to say, he got up and left the room to focus on something else. Abby decided to remain by (Y/n)'s side to cheer him up, to which it did slightly. We then went to another topic that involved with that same night. Blanc was the first to bring it up.

Blanc: (Y/n)... Do you know what other features your crystal contains?

(Y/n): What do you mean Blanc...?

Blanc: When I knocked you down, I was able to see your crystal...

(Y/n): Well, it does look cool given it's blue coloring.

Blanc: But that's the reason I'm bringing it up... It had shifted to a black coloring slightly when you went berserk.

This makes (Y/n) go wide eyed with what he was told. He knows something, something we don't know ourselves.

Vert: There's something about it that you know, don't you? Care to explain what we don't know?

(Y/n) looked at us and sighed knowing he would have to tell one way or another.

(Y/n): Dionix... He told me another reason why the Shinzuyaku clan wore these necklaces... It was to keep track on a person's consciousness and check their inner feelings deep down. Blue is the standard of being completely okay from what I can tell from our conversation at that base...

Noire: So, what's with the black coloring that Blanc talked about?

(Y/n): That's the thing... When I saw Dionix without his armor... he had a crystal that looked just like my own... but his was completely black... full of hatred and fear it seemed... He looked exactly like me in almost every way, but his eyes were red... full of blood lust and rage from the look of it... I felt that feeling when I faced him the first time at the crater in Gamindustri...

Blanc: That would explain why I saw red in your eyes... You acted just like Dionix yesterday during the match after I got hit by the ball Johnathan threw at me.

There was a moment of silence to think what was going on, until Neptune broke it to say something.

Neptune: A new rage mode huh? Could we find a use for it??

Blanc, Noire and Vert: Neptune!!

Neptune: Yipe! Gang up on the Nep again!!

Noire: We are not going to make (Y/n) go berserk again Neptune! Are you nuts?!

Neptune: Well I do find myself the curious type.

Vert: That's not funny Neptune. This is a serious talk we are having. If what we are being told is correct, (Y/n) was triggered when Blanc got hurt that was meant to be an attack towards (Y/n)'s emotions from John's actions. In doing so, (Y/n) lost control and could have killed John, but focused on just torture for now. What if he lost more control of himself?? He wouldn't be able to restrain his powers, and at that point, it would expose him and us for where we came from.

(Y/n) groaned as he was hearing all of this. Feeling I was getting carried away with what I was saying out loud, I felt like I should stop while I was ahead. (Y/n) then took his hands away from his face as he had a thought going through his head.

Vert: Is something troubling you (Y/n)?

(Y/n) snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head.

(Y/n): No, it's nothing. Just... trying to remember what happened at the gym was all... I'm still coming up with a blank... But from what you all told me with (F/n) and Emma... Has me really shaken...

Noire: Well... What we saw with (F/n) and Emma... it wasn't a good thing to see or witness. Take our word on this (Y/n), you were a complete different person and not the (Y/n) we knew. It's best we don't go deeper into it for your own sake...

(Y/n) looked at us and had a sad look as he could sense from what he was told... Knowing what he was told didn't sound good to him at all. (Y/n) then sighed as he then looked at all of us in the room.

(Y/n): Considering we're talking about important topics still... I need to say this now... If I don't, It'll only be harder to tell later on...

Neptune: What do you mean?

Noire, Neptune myself and Abby looked at (Y/n) with a curious look by what he meant. Though I think Blanc knows what (Y/n) is about to say.

(Y/n): On the day you girls got kidnapped... it was no coincidence Dionix found us... He knew we would be there...

Noire: Huh...? What do you-?

(Y/n): He had robotic spies all around us... miniature spy cameras in the form of an insect. I don't know how long he's been watching... But I began to catch on after Rom and Ram were rescued after being captured...

This gives us a shock except for Blanc, knowing she was told this already.

(Y/n): Before you go to questioning why I didn't say anything... It's because I wanted to keep what peace we all had when hanging out together... I didn't want everyone worrying about what was going on and... If I just came out and said something sooner... Then you four wouldn't have been kidnapped... Everything that happened at the base would have been avoided and yet... *sigh*

Noire: (Y/n)...

(Y/n) ran his hands through his hair as he was blaming himself. Noire then got up and approached (Y/n) and he didn't look up to see her. Noire had raised her hand and was ready to slap (Y/n) for what he did, but took a few extra seconds to think as she lowered her hand and sat down next to him.

Noire: I'm not going to lie, but that was a dumb decision (Y/n)... I always knew you were an idiot and reckless when it came to stuff like this... But if you ever do that again, I won't go easy on you next time.

(Y/n) looked towards Noire with a little surprised face hearing Noire say that to him. Then Neptune got up and went over to (Y/n) on his other side. Abby has to scoot away to give some room, but she didn't mind.

Neptune: I know I may do some crazy stuff, but not on this magnitude pal... Guess I might have rubbed off on you maybe... But not the case right now... You shouldn't have to go through stuff like this alone. We love you, and we want to help you when we can. Please... Don't do something like this again... Okay?

(Y/n) looked at Neptune with a sad look at first, but gave a slight smile and nodded to show he understood.

Blanc: If he does do it again, we do have full permission to teach him a lesson about not making his girlfriends worry. And he fully understands what will happen.

Noire: Would like to get behind on that logic.

Neptune: Count me in as well!

(Y/n): Hey, let's not get crazy now girls!!

I began to laugh as everyone in the room began to laugh as well until the day went on like normal once more.

(Flashback end)

We reached (Y/n)'s house and opened the door to hear some games going off as we find (Y/n) and Abby playing video games together. While they were playing video games, they were sitting on the make shift energy platforms (Y/n) created for the both of them to float in the air. Iris was carrying a load of laundry as she saw her children floating in the air and sighed.

Iris: (Y/n), please stop using your new powers in the house... It's very distracting...

(Y/n): Hey, don't look at me. It was Abby's idea.

Abby: Is not! You offered to switch up how we play our games Onii-chan!

(Y/n) looked at Abby with shock in his eyes. Showing he didn't deny what Abby said.

(Y/n): Oh come on! Why are you throwing me under the bus like this Abby?!

Iris: (Y/n). After playing a game with Abby, stop using your powers. I don't care if you think it's fun, you are grounded young man. Or do I have to give you a reason to not disobey me~?

This sent a chill down (Y/n)'s bones hearing his mother's threat towards him.

(Y/n): Y-Yes mother...

After Iris went into the laundry room to wash a load of laundry, (Y/n) and Abby continued to play their game.

Neptune: Hey, (Y/n). We're back from school.

(Y/n): Huh? Oh hey, welcome home girls. Oh, (F/n) and Emma are with you today.

(F/n): Thought we check up on you dude.

Emma: How are you feeling (Y/n)?

(Y/n): What? You're asking little old levitating me? Doing peachy actually.

(F/n): You're not little, old or even levitating! You are tall, immortal and sitting on an energy platform with your sister dude!

(Y/n): Tomato tomahto my friend.

(F/n): Levitating and sitting on a platform made of energy are two completely different things dumbass! That includes, being immortal vs. being old and being little vs. tall!

(Y/n): Ha. I know. I'm just playing dumb is all man.

(F/n) did a facepalm with what (Y/n) said to him and gave a sigh to it.

(F/n): Yeah... Back to normal already if he's pulling this crap on us...

Emma: Wouldn't be our (Y/n) if he didn't, now would he (F/n)?

(F/n) sighed as he rubbed his eyes.

(F/n): True...

A sound effect of a bomb could be heard as (Y/n) groaned at his predicament. Abby giggled at his frustration as she won a race against him.

Abby: Ha ha! I won!

(Y/n): Augh! Dang it! Again?! Getting better at this huh Abby?

Abby: I played with Neptune a lot. It helped boost my moral in video games.

Neptune: With me being the loser of most of my games against her... Definitely has (Y/n)'s competitiveness in her...

Some of us laughed at the moment made while (Y/n) shifted the platform to touch the floor before disappearing. Abby seemed to be somewhat sad that it was over for the time being until (Y/n) patted his sister's head.

(Y/n): Once I'm off from being grounded, I promise we can do this more often sis. Just wait until then.

Abby: Okay...

(Y/n): Why not play with our friends for awhile? I'm sure they can learn a thing or two from you on how to be competitive like us.

Abby: Okay!

Some time had passed by a couple hours as Abby was playing with (F/n), Emma, Noire, Blanc and Neptune. They were playing a game that was called Super Smash Bros. as Abby, (F/n) and Emma teamed up, while Neptune, Noire and Blanc were on a different team. While the six were doing that, I was having a nice conversation with (Y/n), both of us sipping on some tea I made while he did his homework.

(Y/n): Mmm. Good tea Vert. You know how to make good batch of tea every time.

Vert: Thank you. Making tea takes a delicate touch to make each blend just right.

We could hear the game announcer our friends were playing start as they began to fight. (Y/n) had a smile on his face watching his friends from this dimension and his girlfriends playing together.

Vert: You're smiling (Y/n).

(Y/n): Hmm? Is that supposed to be a bad thing? I think not.

Vert: Surprising how well your friends took in how we came from another world. I had figured your friends would have a hard time believing you.

(Y/n): You kidding me? I've been through much with (F/n) for seven years and meeting Emma just last year. They know by now I have my reasons when I have my secrets. I would have told them under better circumstances, but glad they took things better than my mom. At least they didn't faint.

Vert: Yes... It was a bit... Concerning how your mother took the news and with how you got caught up in all of this.

(Y/n): Now you see why I wanted to keep everything a top secret. If my mother did that as her answer for taking it in, imagine the whole world? I only tell those with my absolute trust with my secrets. Just takes time and thinking on how to explain it to them.

Vert: Just know who you trust (Y/n). It doesn't hurt to let those you know the truth, but information like this is priceless to others.

(Y/n) then sighed at that thought placed into his head. With our friends, Emma's character, Samus, fires a rocket at Noire's character, Lucina, as she dodged it. Neptune's character, Sonic, attacks (F/n)'s character, Fox, with a bomb that sends him flying out to the side of the screen. Last, Abby's character, Pikachu, was being chased by Blanc's character, Mario, as the character had a large hammer in his hands.

(Y/n): Yeah... I know... With Dionix still out there, it puts those close to me here in danger. With him and his accomplices still in Hyper dimension, who knows what they're doing... We escaped the last time with our tail's between our legs. I'm still trying to figure out why my crystal even pulled that portal towards us... I never once even knew it could do that, nor even how to do that... it's like... it had a will of its own...

Vert: Hmm... indeed... not once have you even been able to use a portal like power, yet your counterpart can... it does seem... odd.

(Y/n): Maybe time will tell... But for now, let's focus on the here and now. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift... That's why they call it the present.

Vert: You have a strange mind on how you think things (Y/n).

(Y/n): Your talking to a guy who follows quotes from cartoon characters or movies in general. Got that one from a talking turtle named Oogway. If that isn't strange, then I don't know what is.

I giggled at his joke due to how he explained.

Vert: To each their own on how to gain wisdom I say.

(Y/n): That I can agree on. Let it be through books, games or movies. In the end, it has inspiring quotes that come from each of them.

I smiled at his optimism and ways to look at everything. This is definitely the (Y/n) we would know and cherish with a glass half full for a mind. My thoughts go back to what happened at the gym and thought how (Y/n) acted like Dionix. It was like every sense of who he was, and was replaced with how our enemy acts. I fear in the coming days if something triggers (Y/n) like that again, we might have to act quicker to bring him back to us. If not, we might lose him to something else... Wanting to forget about that event, I shake my head to be rid of those thoughts and continue with my conversation with (Y/n).

Vert: So, how are you by the way (Y/n)? It's lonely at the school without you there with us.

(Y/n): Eh, some would be thrilled, but not me. I wish I was at school instead of being here most of the time. Plus with how you girls live here with me, I basically have to work on my homework when you girls come home.

Vert: Well be glad you have friends who are gracious enough to write notes for you in class about the lectures and shares the knowledge back with you.

(Y/n): That I am grateful for. Though I wish Neptune didn't draw in most of her notes... Although some are funny, they don't help the slightest...

Vert: She does tend to do that. Though when push comes to shove, when she is in her goddess form, she does get serious when it's needed.

(Y/n): True. It amazes me how different some of you become given when you transform like that. Though, I wish I didn't leave my journal back in Planeptune... Now I have to write in a new one.

This caught my attention hearing this as I looked at (Y/n) with a curious look.

Vert: Huh? That's very odd of you to leave it there. Why did you leave your journal there if I may ask? From what I remember, you seemed to have carried your journal everywhere.

(Y/n) froze up knowing he let something slip out. What could be important that he left it there? He looks towards the others as Noire's character finishes Emma's character off when a victory screen popped up for the winning team. My CPU friends have won the battle in the game as they were celebrating. (F/n) was saying some stuff about wanting a rematch with Abby backing him up. The six began another round while (Y/n) sighed and stood up.

(Y/n): Follow me Vert. I wish to talk in private.

I gave (Y/n) a curious look as I followed him up stairs to his room. (Y/n) sat down on his bed as I sat down next to him.

(Y/n): I trust you with what I'm going to say Vert. I feel like I trust you as if you're my own sister.

Vert: Really??

(Y/n): Shoot me dead if I'm lying, but here's the thing... Most of my time in your dimension... I have grown attached to all of you there. You're all not just my friends, but a second family there for me. I had written all of my thoughts and my feelings that I never wished to forget what happened to me there. Before we all came to rescue you four... I wrote my own message in there for all of you...

I looked at (Y/n) as he got to that point as he continued to explain.

(Y/n): On the latest entry I made in my journal, I left a personal message... It was meant to be my final message in case I had died in the base...

It brought a shock to me as I heard him say that. To think he would prepare something like that.

(Y/n): I was scared. Scared of knowing that something could go wrong. When it came to seeing you four turn into those Chaos CPUs... I had no idea what could happen next. All I was thinking about was how to save you all. There was no shaking me from doing anything necessary to save you four, that included on using the black box. Histoire had made it for me as a special request for me after I found out the enemy was spying on all of us. I didn't dare bring it out or give away its existence until it was time. Because of it, Dionix let his guard down and gave me the opening to use it. If it wasn't for that and figuring out how to save you four... I would have actually died.

Vert: (Y/n)...

(Y/n): In my final message, one was left for you. I wanted you to take care of Abby and be there for her when the others went to explain to my family... If there is one person I know that could be there for her and understand her lose of a sibling, it would be you Vert. I know you never had a family to cherish considering you never had one. Thought it would be my gift to you as a goodbye present to actually have a family for once. A family you could call your own and be happy with.

I began to tear up hearing (Y/n) would actually leave a message like that. It was still a shock, but also a thoughtful shock on wanting to have his final wishes be granted as a last will.

(Y/n): I do consider you as my sister Vert. I know Abby would say the same if it were the case. Though I'll have to explain this somehow to my mother and father about this, but I'm sure if I explain correctly, they'll understand. I think.

I quickly pulled (Y/n) into a hug as his head was on my chest. Guess I was thrilled to think he would want to preserve some happiness if he left by leaving a message he explained to me. Guess it would make sense to leave some message if you head to a place only the enemy knows about. When facing with the enemy, you never know when it might be your last time to leave something behind. For (Y/n), it was his dying wish to let the others know about his thoughts and feelings from his time spending with us. It brought a smile to my face from how much he thinks from not just himself, but to those around him.

Vert: (Thoughts) (Y/n) (L/n)... I know you're going to do just fine making those three you love downstairs happy with how you act. I only wish to see how it turns out in the end, little brother.

(Y/n)'s point of view.

Thursday, September 29, 20XX

Location: Around town.

Time: Morning.

I had decided to walk Abby to school today considering I had more time on my hands with me being suspended from school. Though I wished I could be at school more with my friends, but as long as they stay together, nothing bad should happen. After giving my sister a hug and tell her to be good, she hugged me back before running passed the gates and into the school. I smiled as I then headed into town, thought I explore around considering I had time to myself. While I was walking around town, I was walking passed a jewelry shop and saw a few necklaces that caught my eyes. One had a heart with angel wings, a necklace that had a silver controller with a red ruby in the middle as a heart and finally a necklace that had a symbol of a crown on it.

I stared at the necklaces as Blanc, Neptune and Noire came to my thoughts when I looked at each necklace.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Hmm... These would be perfect for the three. Although... All together... they cost nearly 84,681 in Yen... (Actual cost in American money if any of this was real: $750.) I don't have that kind of money to even get them... Guess I should start looking for a side job then...

During my time in Hyper dimension, the girls had given me gifts, but it was to celebrate my late birthday there. Each of the necklaces I saw was perfect for each of them. I just had to figure out how to obtain the money first. What do you do when you need money? Get a damn job and earn it that's what. I looked around town and tried to apply to some places. I was lucky enough to find one place that was currently available, though it was a place where you served food to people. At least it pays well for 1,018 Yen an hour plus tips. (Pay for an average waiter/waitress in American: $9 an hour.)

It was a local dinner that was called Jonny's. I remember coming to this place a couple times last year with (F/n) and Emma when having to study session or just hang out if we wanted too. If this place was hiring, I couldn't say no to the chance. I filled out a resume and placed it in a bin and pray for them to contact me when they see it. After leaving Jonny's I decided to continue walking around town. Three hours had passed since I began walking around today. I decided to take a seat near a bench and rest my feet real quick knowing I wasn't rushed for time in any way. Checking if no one was around, I decided to pull out the headphones Neptune got for me by accessing my inventory and brought them out. Plugging in the headphones to my phone, I began to listen to some music. The sound quality in the headphones was just right for my tastes as it brought each lyric the singer sang out for me to enjoy.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Now this is what I call relaxing with some great music. Wish I had a pair of these sooner. Thank you Neptune for the headphones.

Deciding I used them enough for now, I put them away to keep them out of sight of any bystanders. It would be hard to cover how a pair of these were made with good quality too. Walking around for thirty minutes, I heard some emergency vehicles driving pass. Some were ambulances and some were fire trucks. Wondering what could be happening, I decided to take an alley way and use my powers to gain higher ground. Looking down below me, I follow where the fire trucks are heading as I see an apartment complex emanating smoke from it. Judging how much there was, it didn't look good. Deciding to follow the emergency vehicles, I hopped down to ground level and began running. Using my powers in broad daylight would be really risky, so I have to be careful.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Leg power, don't fail me now!

After running for fifteen minutes, I finally reached the apartment complex. It was big as it was five story tall building. Fire had spread to mostly everywhere in the building as the fire fighters were doing their best to put the flames out. They were also evacuating people in the process from what I could see. I run up to some people to check on the situation.

(Y/n): Hey! You people okay?

Citizen 1: Yeah... I'm lucky to have been able to get out. It just happened out of nowhere... But there are still some people inside...

Citizen 2: The fire fighters are doing their best... But it's getting too much for them to handle...

I look at the building as the fire fighters are doing their best to put the flames out while I see a fire fighter escorting a man who was carrying someone. The two people that were with the fire fighter were slightly covered in soot from in the building. The male had blue hair and when I looked at him, he had like a glare that almost shouted at me to run away. He had a good pair of clothes on, the shirt was a button up and the pants were a pair of jeans. The girl he was carrying was small as she had long, curly orange-golden hair to her. She had what looked to be a dress on as she looked like to be that of a teenager height. The girl seemed to have passed out from the smoke or something as I could see the male arguing with the fire fighter. I decided to get closer to try and hear what they were saying.

Fire fighter: Please sir! Calm down!

???: Calm down?! Our daughter is still in there you dumbass! How can I be calmed when we got cut off from her!?

Fire fighter: I-I understand your worries sir... We're going to do our very best to help...

???: S-Sophie...

It scared me hearing a child was still in that burning building and that two parents could lose their daughter in the fire. The fire fighters continued to fight the fires, but explosions could be heard going off as a wall exploded up above. The fire fighters could barely do a thing since the flames just keep coming. At this rate, the child will die in the fire if nothing happens here and now. I frowned at this and ran up to the parents of the child that was still in the building.

(Y/n): Hey! What's your daughter's name?

???: W-What? Why are you asking??

(Y/n): Tell me your daughter's name, age, what she looks like and last location! We don't have time for this damn it!

???: O-Our daughter's name is Sophie, she's six years old, has her mother's hair and wears a flower in her hair. She was on the fifth floor of the building. Why are you asking...?

(Y/n): 'Cause I'm about to do something dumb and stupid right now. Watch this backpack!

I toss my backpack to the fire fighter to distract him as I charged towards the burning apartment complex.

Fire fighter: What are you doing?! Stop you crazy kid!!

Using my arms to cover my face, I generate my aura just slightly around me before jumping through the fire of the entrance. Rolling against the ground as I had my coat against my mouth and nose to protect myself from the smoke emanating in the place. Fire was spread out everywhere in the lobby of the first floor.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Okay. Fifth floor, need to get up there. Can't take the elevator, only option is the stairs... Talk about pulling a Peter shitty Parker move (L/n)... Hang on Sophie... I'm on my way!

I head towards the stairwell as it still seemed to be intact. I begin going up the stairs in a jog until I reached the third floor. When I got there, part of the stairs had been destroyed and made it tricky to get up stairs.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) The explosion earlier must have taken the stairs out. Luckily no one was around with me, or else I would have had to find another way around.

Using my powers, I pushed energy to my feet and hopped up to the wall and pushed against it to jump higher. Using my energy, I threw an energy disc to have it expand into a platform and land on it. I then hopped over the railing of the fourth floor and quickly made my way up to the fifth floor. When I kicked the stairwell door open, smoke had covered the top half of the hallway as I focused my energy to my eyes to protect them from the smoke so that I could still see. I covered my mouth and nose to protect myself from breathing in any smoke if possible. Sophie was up here... Now all I had to do was find her.

(Y/n): Sophie! Sophie where are you?!

I began calling out her name and made sure I was careful to listen out for her while I traversed through the halls. I began coughing as it seemed the smoke was beginning to get to me with the intensity of the heat. I called out Sophie's name again as I began to hear someone crying while they were calling for their mother and father. I approached a door that seemed to be giving off the sound I was hearing as I kicked it open. The flames were rising as the heat was getting more intense. I followed the sound to a little girl that had a flower in her hair as she held a plush doll that looked like a miniature tiger close to her.

(Y/n): Hey, are you Sophie?

Sophie: Huh...? How do you know my name...?

(Y/n): I'm here to help. Your father was worried about you and told me how to identify you. Your flower gave it away once I saw it.

Sophie: A-Are they okay...?

(Y/n): Yes. They are currently waiting outside, but we have to go right now. This place will burn up soon.

Sophie looked very scared at what was happening around her. She was only six after all... How can a kid not be scared during a time like this without her parents?

Sophie: I want my mommy and daddy... I'm scared...

(Y/n): And you will see them again, but right now I have to focus on getting us out first. I promise you we will-

I heard some creaking above me as some cracking sounds beginning to happen over Sophie. I panicked for her safety as I rushed over and generated a shield over us with my energy. She screamed as the rubble tried to fall on us, but when she noticed that she was okay, she had a look of wonder.

(Y/n): Are you okay Sophie??

Sophie: A-Are you doing this...?

(Y/n): Yeah, apparently so...

Sophie: Are... Are you a superhero...?

I looked at her on her thinking and decided to act on it considering she was beginning to calm down at the sight of this.

(Y/n): Yeah. I'm a hero alright. But as a superhero, I ask you keep this between us okay? Can you do that for me Sophie?

She looked scared just slightly, but she nodded her head. Confirming that she understood what I meant.

(Y/n): Glad to hear that. Now come on. We're getting out of here, and you got some wonderful parents that want to see you again.

I began carrying Sophie in my arms as to keep her as safe as I can possible. A child's life is a precious thing to have. I couldn't bare to know a child died when I was here to help. We exited the room as I tried to head back to the stairwell. On the way there, the roof of the floor above us tried to fall down on top of us, but I reacted quickly enough to jump back before it crushed us. Sophie screamed from being surprised as she was crying. I try to calm her down seeing our way to the current stairwell is blocked, I had to go a different way.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Come on...! Where's the other stairs damn it...?!

Looking around fast, I quickly found the other flight of stairs as me and Sophie began our decent. Seeing some of the stairs had collapsed on this side as well, I generated a platform for me and Sophie to get on and float us down to ground level. The flames were really intense now as I had to focus my thoughts on keeping a shield around me and Sophie. We walked down a hallway until we finally made it to the lobby. The flames were less intense here, but I couldn't just go out without being unscathed. It would be suspicious on how I didn't get a burn mark on me.

(Y/n): Give me a minute Sophie. Got to change my appearance somewhat first.

Sophie: Okay Mr. Hero...

Leaving Sophie in the protective shield, I stepped out and took my coat off. It was a coat my mom got me for me to wear during summer, but I couldn't worry about a coat right now. I put the elbow of the coat in the fire for a sec and let it burn just slightly until there was a burn mark. I did it to other places on the coat until it looked convincing enough that some fire had touched me. My pants and shoes were already covered in soot, so it seemed to also help. After rejoining with Sophie in the shield, I picked her up as I looked at her one last time.

(Y/n): Now remember, don't tell anyone what I did. Pinky promise?

Sophie: Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!

(Y/n): Was gonna go for a pinky link move, but that works too.

After saying that, I carried Sophie through the entrance of the building. After exiting through the entrance, I canceled any use of my energy quickly as I ran with Sophie in my arms out of the building and to her father. He was with who I figured to be his wife, considering he never left her side while using my backpack to rest the woman's head on it. I could see the surprise and worry on the father's face as I approached him with Sophie in my arms.

???: Sophie!!

Sophie: Daddy!!!

I handed the father her daughter as they embraced in a father-daughter hug. I could sense the bond between them as I heard Sophie crying that she was back with her father. While the two were in their hug, the father looked at me with some slight wonder.

???: W-Who are you?

(Y/n): Me? I'm just a nobody is all.

???: A nobody wouldn't just run into a fire and help save my daughter. Please...

I contemplated slightly for a few seconds as it seemed it was okay to tell the father.

(Y/n): My name is (Y/n) (L/n).

Ryuuji: (Y/n) (L/n)? My name is Ryuuji Takasu. My wife laying down unconscious is Taiga Takasu, and you already met Sophie, our daughter.

Taiga: Uuggghhh... My head...

The three of us look over to see Taiga begin to wake up as Ryuuji walks over to sit down next to Taiga.

Ryuuji: Hey, look who's here Taiga.

Taiga: Huh...?

Sophie: Mommy...

Taiga fully woke up as she saw her daughter. Taiga brought her daughter in as they both started crying. I smiled and chuckled at the scene as I picked my backpack up and slung it over my shoulder.

Taiga: How is this possible...?

Sophie: Mr. Hero helped me...

Sophie pointed towards me just as I was turning away. Taiga looked towards my way and grabbed the sleeve of my jacket before I was just about to leave. I looked back and I could see tears going down the mother's face.

Taiga: Thank you... Thank you for helping our daughter. We wouldn't know what to do if we lost her...

I smiled towards her as I reached a hand to rub Sophie's head. Sophie giggled from me doing that, to which brought a chuckle out of me.

(Y/n): Just happy to help is all.

Ryuuji: Is there anyway we can repay you for helping our daughter??

I shook my head to let them know I didn't want anything in return.

(Y/n): Seeing your happy faces and saving this child is all I need. A child's life is the most precious thing to protect, and including those you love. To expect something in return from someone you risked your life for, I find it a bit selfish to do considering a life was almost lost. Just seeing this child safe and sound is all I need.

Ryuuji: Still, thank you. Thank you for helping us. We won't forget what you've done for us.

Ryuuji hugged me as I returned it to be nice knowing it was a scary experience for this family to endure. I've been in his shoes when Rom and Ram were captured and even the CPUs. So I could tell how he felt when someone he loved was in danger. We parted from the hug, I patted the man on the shoulder to reassure him everything will be okay now. After all was said and done he wanted to take a picture with me and his family to remember this day. After that, we exchanged phone numbers to stay in contact, probably to have me visit to check up on them whenever I want. I returned home as I quickly as I could and headed to my room and change out of my soot covered clothing. I'm going to be in so much trouble if mom ever finds out about this...

Blanc's point of view.

Location: (L/n) residence.

Time: Dinner.

Tonight we had an assortment of foods that was provided for us tonight. We had rice, some chicken, some diced up apples, and some vegetables to go with the dinner. Of course (Y/n) was first to grab the food and begin eating. Sometimes I think he's a bit too excited when dinner is presented to him, but that could be that his mother's cooking is great I think. In fact, it did taste great how she cooked dinner. She knew what to put in and make each dish very well. Left most of us stunned by how it tasted as it brought smiles to our faces.

Neptune: Mmmm~ Divine!

(Y/n): Oh god... I could die happily with this food...!

Noire: Kinda over reacting much don't you think you two...?

(Y/n): Hey! Don't dis the mother's cooking!

Noire: I know it tastes great, but it shouldn't be expressed that much...

Vert: Can't argue with them on this, it does taste good.

Blanc: Uh huh.

I looked towards Abby as she was eating an apple slice. I was happy to see apples were part of the food provided for tonight, considering apples were one of my favorite foods. I looked around the room and saw that there was a sword hanging on a wall. The sword was hanging on a mantle with it's sheath underneath it.

Blanc: Who owns that sword hanging up on display?

(Y/n) looked to what I was referring to and smile towards it.

(Y/n): That's my mother's sword. She used to take kendo herself when she was younger. That's how I got into doing kendo myself.

Neptune: Really?? I looks like it was never used though.

(Y/n): Never had a reason to use it. Decided it would be used only for emergencies. Like in case someone broke into our home or something like that. Though, I would feel sorry for the poor sap that messes with her...

Vert: Looks like it's been taken care of quite often.

Iris came into the room holding a ladle in her hand and leaned against the wall.

Iris: It's my family's sword. Passed down from family member to family member. Ten generations that sword has been passed down in this family. Yours truly wields that sword with great passion.

Neptune: Oooo~ May I try it? Pretty please?

And that was a mistake when Neptune asked as Iris had a look that could kill as she threw the ladle at Neptune's head.

Iris: Touch that sword, and you lose that hand where you stand...

Neptune then hid behind (Y/n) with a scared look on her face.

Neptune: Yipe! Scary family you have (Y/n)...!

(Y/n): Trust me, don't touch the sword if you know what's good for you... It's still considered my mom's blade to her from my grandfather. It's basically my mother's last keepsake after my grandfather died...

Noire: Oh... I'm sorry to hear that...

(Y/n): It's okay... Died of cancer actually... Never knew who he was because I wasn't born at the time yet... Though I heard from my parents that he was a great man though. Always had ways of making people laugh in the silliest ways. Wish I could have met him though...

Vert: I bet. Though it is good to cherish what you know about them even when they have passed from this world. They leave something behind as a symbol of who they were to others.

Iris: That's, one way to put it Vert. Thanks.

Vert: You're welcome ma'am.

Mr. (L/n) walked in with his dinner on the plate as he grabbed the remote for the t.v.

Mr. (Y/n): Let's watch some t.v. shall we?

Mr. (L/n) then turned on the television as it showed the news for today.

News reporter (Television): In other news, a fire at an apartment complex that happened suddenly went out of control today as some people had died within the fire. Fire fighters had tried to get the situation under control, but the fire had taken over the entire building, making it impossible to be put out.

Noire: Oh my... That happened today...?

Iris: Those poor people...

News reporter (Television): An interview with a family that had survived the fire had this to say.

The television then showed a family that had been covered in soot slightly as a man identified was Ryuuji Takasu, Taiga Takasu, and their daughter, Sophie. (Y/n) could be heard coughing when they popped up on the screen as he took a drink to wash it down.

Blanc: You okay (Y/n)?

(Y/n): Uh, y-yeah, I'm fine. How about we change the t.v. to something else? Bad news like this always get me down actually...

Taiga (Television): It was a horrible experience. We almost lost our daughter in the fire...

Ryuuji (Television): Yeah... But it's thanks to someone coming to help our daughter. If it wasn't for him, Sophie wouldn't be here with us right now.

News reporter (Television): Do you know who the individual is by chance?

Ryuuji (Television): No. We never knew the man until today. His name is (Y/n) (L/n) actually.

(L/n) family and CPUs: Wait, WHAT?!

Everyone in the room looked at (Y/n) as he had a worried look on his face. (Y/n) shook it off to then replace it with an annoyed face.

(Y/n): Oh, come on! It could be anyone with that name. I mean, really?

News reporter (Television): Do you have an identification of this man?

Ryuuji (Television): Why yes of course. We took a picture together to remember the kindness he did for us.

(Y/n): Eh...?

Ryuuji pulled out a picture on his phone and showed his family smiling with (Y/n) in the picture with them who had some burn marks on his jacket and was covered in soot as well. (Y/n) then fell backwards in shock that the picture was shown.

(Y/n): Oh, son of a bitch...

We all each had a shocked look on our faces, but Iris had the most shock on her face from what she saw. (Y/n) got up and began to whistle as he tried to make a sneaky getaway, until his mother appeared suddenly behind him and gripped his shoulder. He froze up from the touch as he shivered in fright.

(Y/n): Mother... Mother no...!

Iris: Mother... yes...!

Iris pulls him around into the hallway while he begged silently for help with a horrified look on his face to us as sounds of a beat down could be heard around the corner.

https://youtu.be/W2zAg39AXcs

(Y/n) could be heard yelling as he was tossed through the air and crashes into the wall because of Iris. (Y/n) left a slight imprint in the wall with his body as he fell face first to the floor.

(Y/n): Was that really necessary to throw me mother...?

Iris: I say you deserved it! You did what today young man?! Went into a burning building?! What were you thinking!?

(Y/n): Mom, listen, I can explain...!

Iris: It better be a damn good one young man! Because from the way I see it, you're looking to being grounded. For life!!

After an hour to explain, (Y/n) had explained he was walking around town when this happened. He felt like he couldn't let what was happening go unnoticed. (Y/n) knew he could do something to help, but risked exposure in the process. The little girl named Sophie, had seen him using his powers with his face being seen.

Noire: So, even when you told us to not use our powers, you deliberately went against your own rule to save a life and exposed yourself?

(Y/n): Sophie is six years old with parents who love her dearly Noire... You expect me to let a child die in a fire and walk away from it as if it didn't happen??

Vert: That's not what we're saying (Y/n)...

(Y/n): I just couldn't let a child die when I am able to do something about it...

Iris: That doesn't mean you put yourself in harms way like that young man!

(Y/n) stood up and looked towards his mother.

(Y/n): So, what?! You would let the child die?! A six-year-old child in a burning building to die?! It wouldn't be right!

Mr. (L/n): Hey, calm down, both of you.

(Y/n) and Iris both ignored Mr. (L/n) as they continued their argument.

Iris: That is not what I am saying (Y/n) and you know that!

(Y/n): Then what do you mean by it then?!?! 'Cause it sure sounds like you want me to have let the child die, knowing I can take care of myself in a dangerous situation!!

Iris: (Y/n) (L/n)! You listen to me now!

(Y/n): No!! You need to listen here mom! I've been needing to get this off of my chest ever since I returned home!

Iris and (Y/n) looked at each other as they gave each other a glare. I could see Abby was about to start crying until Vert went over to Abby to comfort her. She must not like seeing her family get like this often...

(Y/n): I am not a helpless boy or the same son you knew three months after I went missing. I have done stuff far greater than you could ever imagine that is impossible to do. That child was on the fifth floor of that building and what I had saw in there decided how her life was going to play out. The stairs in that building had collapsed and there was no other way up from inside or outside of the building.

Iris: The fire fighters could have found another way.

(Y/n): No, they couldn't! Fire was engulfing the building and only I had the means of protecting myself from it. Because of me, that girl is given a second chance because I did something...! If you want to ground me for life then go right ahead, but that won't stop me from using my powers from whatever dangers that could come our way! I may be your son, but that doesn't mean you decide how I live my life.

Iris: Then how do you plan on living your life then, huh? What do you plan on doing with your life??

(Y/n) looked nervous with his what he wanted to say next, but knew he couldn't back down now. The conversation had gotten too heated from them arguing to this degree.

(Y/n): I plan on going back to their dimension when our friends find us and live there. I'm in part of a guild system and can do quests there to earn some money there. Plus with my connections I have with my friends, they've given me places to be able to sleep at. I can handle myself just fine there.

Iris: Absolutely not!!

Mr. (L/n): Iris. Let him talk.

Iris: You can't be serious right now...!?

Mr. (L/n): Iris, let him talk... Please, continue son...

Iris wanted to object to have this talk from happening any further, but just sat down while (Y/n) explained. I looked at (Y/n) who had a determined look as he wanted to get his point across at this point. Probably something he's been wanting to get off his chest to his mom about how he's been here to her.

(Y/n): Ever since I lived in Hyper dimension, I never felt more free to choose with what I want to do in my life. I feel more normal there, than here because of these powers. No one in this world would understand me except for those that are really close to me... That's you, dad, Abby, (F/n), Emma... and the CPUs... Everyone else who doesn't know me as myself, would never understand what I had to go through with my friends there... The friends I have made in Hyper dimension, made me never feel alone or afraid of what I want to do and take action in the face of danger.

We watched (Y/n) as he was trying to state his case to his mother on how he felt and how much he had changed. It was true with what he was saying. With how I see him here, he's too cautious with what could happen in his world because of his powers and those discovering about it. While when I saw (Y/n) in my world, he was energetic, was more open minded to what he could do and just went with the flow of things. Him saving that child proves that what he did today for that family, is what he wants to do with his life.

Iris: But you can still do much without those powers too...! Have you ever thought about that...?

(Y/n): I understand that, but that's not the case. These powers helped a child that was in danger mom... A child that needed help really badly... Sure Sophie saw me use my powers... But she was the only one that saw me use them... That's why I have soot on my clothes from today and the reason I burned my coat slightly... I'm not an idiot to these things that would make me stand out after going into a dangerous place like that! If you saw the parents how relieved their child was safe, you would change your mind on this situation! Please mom... I have never wanted something more than anything in my life until now.

Iris look troubled with what she wanted to say and what she really felt, but her husband put a hand on her shoulder and looked at her in the eyes. Iris sighed feeling she wasn't going to win this argument and looked at her son. I could see a change in attitude as she had a look of what looked like acceptance.

Iris: I don't agree with this one bit, but you're right... You're not helpless or anything like that anymore son... You've changed in more ways in one actually...

(Y/n): Huh??

This surprised (Y/n) hearing what his mother was saying. He probably didn't expect to hear something like this.

Iris: It's hard for a parent to let go of their child when they've taken care of them all their life... Because when a child grows up... They won't need their parent's help anymore. That's the hardest thing for a parent to accept and take in...

Iris began to cry slightly as it gave each of us in the living room a surprised look. Clearly she knew one day that her son would want to branch off somewhere, but to not know WHEN must have frightened her. Iris has been so much a part of (Y/n)'s life, she was afraid to let go of her desire to keep watching her child grow up. She wanted to be as helpful to her child while she could because seeing her son save a child, means (Y/n) can do anything he puts his mind to it.

Iris: If this is what you want (Y/n)... I'll do my best to support with what you want to do...

(Y/n): Mom...

Iris got up and went to hug (Y/n) while she cried.

Iris: Just promise me... When and if you do go... Please, don't forget us and visit when you can... Okay...?

(Y/n) then hugged his mom back as he cried slightly also.

(Y/n): Hey, I never said I would abandon my family... Of course I would come visit often... Besides... I want to share all that I experience with my family... Nothing is going to change on me needing my family when I need too... It's like you once said, "Family first... and family last. Nothing in between."

Iris then separated from the hug with her son as she patted (Y/n) on the head as a smile could be seen on both their faces.

Iris: You're going to be a fantastic man, my son... I'm sorry it took me this long to accept how it is...

(Y/n): It's okay mom... I understand...

Neptune: Okay, if we're done with the whole scenario here, let's finish our meal before the chapter ends.

(Y/n) looks at Neptune with a deadpan look with how she ruins the conversation.

(Y/n): Again Neptune... I have no idea what you mean by that... I will never know what you mean when you do that... but I am hungry for more food to which I can't lie about.

We all sigh as everything was returning back to the original atmosphere before the argument began as (Y/n) dug into his food again.

(Insert Orange here)

Noire: And the moment where the stomach talks for him happens again...

Vert: I've heard men tend to eat more food after a heated discussion happens. Let's hope there will be enough food left over for us to have seconds.

Blanc: A wise man with great skills, yet let's his stomach do the talking for him when hungry. Seems about right with (Y/n).

(Y/n): Now that's just an attack on my personality entirely you three...!

Everyone in the room laughs at (Y/n)'s unfortunate placement in a new discussion as he joins in on laughing with us. This family (Y/n) has may be crazy at times, but they do know how to change the situation back around and figure out how to end a situation. I looked towards (Y/n) as he was giving a noogie to Abby as she was trying to call for assistance for help, but no one would help. Mr. (L/n) and Iris laugh slightly at their children's antics while this was happening.

Blanc: (Thoughts) (Y/n) has a wonderful family. I only wish that nothing can separate the kind of bond they have.

Chapter 5. End.

Extra: So, I have something to tell about the grandfather of this story I had use. The grandfather I used, comes from my dad's side of the family. I had to use the grandfather for the mother's side. Some of the things I had put in there were true from what my parents had told me from being funny, to how he died of cancer, and me not getting a chance to meet him... I sometimes wish I could have met him, but if anything, I thought I place someone such as him in my story to be remembered slightly. To live on if only just a little as a memory.
