Noire's point of view.

Monday, October 17, 20XX

Location: (L/n) Residence.

Time: Late at night.

I wake up very tired as I was currently at a table in the kitchen. It was somewhat dark as most of the lights were out. Turning on a small light, I illuminate the table I was sitting at. I had just finished working on the dress I was going to use for the pageant as it brought a smile to my face. Checking it one last time, I made sure there wasn't any mistakes made while making the dress. After checking the dress, I folded it up and put it away somewhere safe with a smile on my face.

Noire: (Thoughts) This dress is sure to win the pageant. I just hope (Y/n) likes it~

(Insert Kirihirake! Gracie☆Star here)

After packing the dress somewhere safe, I head into the living room, but I find that the comfy chair has been taken by Neptune. Neptune had a look of enjoyment as it looked like she was having a dream.

Neptune: Puddings great~... Feed me more (Y/n)~...

I sighed knowing that Neptune would be dreaming about pudding... It is her, after all. On top of that, dreaming of (Y/n) feeding her pudding. That has to be something of a dream come true for Neptune... I look to see Vert and Blanc were sharing the couch. With those two being there, that meant the last spot was the hard chair that we hated to sleep on...

Noire: (Thoughts) Ugh... I knew I shouldn't have fallen asleep at the table... And with tomorrow being the festival at the school... If I don't want to sleep here... Then where...?

As I was thinking, a thought came to my head. I went up stairs and was standing in front of the door that led to (Y/n)'s room. I had a blush on my cheeks, feeling nervous about going in, getting on (Y/n)'s bed and sleep next to (Y/n) himself. I reach my hand out slowly, turn the doorknob and open the door. I slowly peek my head into (Y/n)'s room and see (Y/n) is still asleep on his bed. I quietly sneaked over to (Y/n)'s bed and checked to see if he was really asleep. Seeing his eyes are closed, I carefully get under the covers of the bed and lie down next to (Y/n). I shift my body somewhat to get used to the feeling of the bed. When I had just gotten comfortable enough I realize I had woken (Y/n) up.

(Y/n): *Yawns* H-Huh...? Noire...? What are you doing up this late...?

I blush hard somewhat as I was caught before I could even rest first. I can feel (Y/n) wants an explanation and I sighed knowing I couldn't escape now. Though, I fibbed a little as (Y/n) doesn't know about the dress I was making. I had the others in the house keep what I was making a secret so (Y/n) wouldn't see.

Noire: I had fallen asleep at the table doing some last minute studies. The others had decided without me on the sleeping arrangement and was stuck with the bad chair... Since it's really late... I don't think I would have gotten any sleep on that chair...

(Y/n) looked at me and nodded his head at what I say. Probably feels disoriented from being woken up like how he did.

(Y/n): Well... I hope you sleep well tonight... *yawns* Goodnight Noire...

I watch (Y/n) close his eyes as he tries to get comfortable again. After a minute goes by, it seems (Y/n) had fallen asleep quite fast. He must have been that tired from all what he does including the job at Jonny's. I look at (Y/n)'s face as he seemed to have a smile on his face this time. Probably dreaming of something nice I think. Though, this gives me an idea considering (Y/n)'s defenseless at the moment. Guiding my hand, I hover it above (Y/n) with my index finger extended and begin poking at his cheeks. (Y/n)'s shifts from each touch as I felt some delight in messing with him. From the times I would get embarrassed and that time where he scared me at the park.

Noire: Take this and that and that~ Ehehe...

Even then, now I couldn't sleep because I was enjoying messing with (Y/n) in his sleep. I sighed at this predicament and looked at (Y/n) while he slept.

Noire: Ugh... This is your fault you know that (Y/n)... With you being like this... I couldn't resist messing around with you and now I can't even sleep... Watching you with that smile in your sleep... I wonder if I would have the same expression if I slept with you more...? Normally, when you're awake... It's hard to express myself like this because I always get embarrassed of telling what I really feel about you... But with you like this right now, I have no worries. Being able to be with you, even like this in bed with you... I really like it.

I then scooch closer slightly and give a kiss on (Y/n)'s lips while he was asleep still and smiled from doing that.

Noire: I love you (Y/n). I love you more than anything in the world...

(Y/n): More than cosplay? Now there's a shocker. *snickers*

Noire: Eh? Ueh!?

I could hear (Y/n) snickering even more, until he couldn't hold it in and began to chuckle slightly. I become super nervous as I sit up quickly and look at (Y/n) shocked at this outcome.

Noire: W-W-Wait! Why are you still awake!?

(Y/n): Well, I was about to sleep, but you began poking at my cheeks and started talking to yourself. With all that happening, I just pretended to be asleep and play it out.

Noire: L-Liar! You mean you heard everything I said to myself just now!?

(Y/n): Yup. Even the love confession you just gave to me~

I blushed really hard at the mention of that as I shook my head sideways. The tips of my ears were red at this point from embarrassment.

Noire: N-N-No! You're wrong! I-I didn't mean any of that or meant anything by that and just got carried away and... uh... Yes! I know! It was just something I heard at school one time!

(Y/n): Really...?

Noire: Yes! I heard this one girl at school say this to someone she likes and was just copying her in a way!

(Y/n): Uh huh... Did that also have to involve with a kiss on my lips as well?

Noire: Ah, no no no no no no no! What happened just now wasn't a kiss or anything like that you idiot! It was an accident! Our lips touched because I got carried away and slipped up, falling down towards you with our lips touching! That-is-why I'm saying that this is just one big accidental COINCIDENCE, alright!

(Y/n) gives me a look and then suddenly hugs me to bring me closer to him and layed back down on the bed.

Noire: H-Hey! Why are you hugging me idiot!?

(Y/n): Eh, just wanted to get a closer to you and get a better look at your beautiful face~

I blush a crimson red from (Y/n) calling me beautiful. With (Y/n) hugging me, I couldn't cover my face or turn away from him. This gave (Y/n) every advantage to see me blushing with that stupid smile he always gave to me!

Noire: Ugh! Stop messing around! Will you hurry and go to sleeeeeeeeeeep!

(Y/n) laughs at this and then finally decides to try and go to sleep. With me still being awake, it takes about thirty minutes for me to finally fall asleep.

(Y/n)'s point of view.

Location: Ohashi High.

Time: Noon.

It was a good day here at the school for what was happening today. The long awaited festival was here as I could see many events and classes had different ideas to use. Some had done game rooms, others food stands and even some that were haunted houses. Every classroom had something to offer for just the right people. Though, after I saw (F/n) come out of the haunted house with Emma... (F/n) had a look of dread on his face as Emma was dragging his lazy ass out.

(F/n): The horror... I saw the face of death in there...

Emma: Dumbass... You're such an idiot...

(F/n): How come you're not scared...?

Emma: Because I know that it's just people dressed up. Haunted houses don't scare me that easily (F/n)...

The CPUs and myself sweatdrop at (F/n)'s predicament as his pride had been hurt on that one.

(Y/n): I may know the guy... But even I've seen better times with him than this... This is a new low even for him girls...

Neptune: Yup.

After (F/n) had recovered from being traumatized by the haunted house, we all went to a classroom that was serving food. When we were seated at a table, (F/n) was the first to get the menu and saw something that caught his eyes. (F/n) then raised his hand to get the attention of a waiter to take our order. The smirk I saw on his face did not bold well for what idea he was concocting...

Waiter: How may I help you today sir?

(F/n): One order of Russian Takoyaki for a total of seven people please.

Waiter: One order of Russian Takoyaki coming right up.

When the waiter left to go get (F/n)'s order, Emma and I both had our jaws drop to the floor. Both of us then punched (F/n) over the side of his head as two bumps were made.

(Y/n): You son of a bitch...!

Emma: Of all foods...! THAT kind of food...?!

(F/n): C-Come on you two! Just listen...!

Vert: What's with the angry looks you both have? (Y/n), Emma?

(Y/n): Well Vert... You see...

Before I could explain, the waiter came back and had a fresh batch of Takoyaki balls. Though the Russian part... Worried me much from that one word alone...

Waiter: Here you go! Seven crispy Takoyaki balls. Enjoy the meal.

The waiter then left our table while Emma and I stared at the food given to our group. The whole deal with Russian Takoyaki balls... There's a catch when it's being served... In the whole assortment of the platter we have in front of us... One of the seven in the batch is tainted with a spicy ingredient. This was known as: Russian Roulette Takoyaki. The worst part is... One of us was going to get a takoyaki ball and get the horrible wakening of their life when they get the spicy ball... Worse part is; this isn't the first time (F/n) ordered this kind of meal while we were around...

Noire: Why do you two look so stress? Do you not like this food?

(Y/n): It's not that Noire...

Emma: It just... has to do with one having a "special surprise" that comes with it...

Blanc: A surprise? What kind?

Neptune: I love surprises! I think I'll try... This one!

I watch Neptune as she takes one of the seven takoyaki balls and eats it quickly. I stare at her in shock to see if anything happens, but nothing does. I sighed seeing she was spared, but that didn't mean it was over yet. I then had to hold my breath as I watched Noire, Blanc and Vert take a ball also and eat it. Yet again, same results.

(Y/n): Three left... and it's between (F/n), Emma, and I...

Emma: (F/n)... I'm going to kill you...

(F/n) gives a nervous chuckle as the three of us each pick up a ball. I watched (F/n) eat his takoyaki ball up, but with no reaction coming from him. Emma and myself look at each other worried about the ball we each had.

(Y/n): Like most people say... Ladies first.

Emma took a nervous gulp and took a bite out of her takoyaki ball. I watched to see if I was lucky enough to not be the one with the spicy ball, but Emma had no reaction to the ball at all. Then that meant one thing... This whole order was a sham and no one was actually going to get hurt... Or that I got the spicy ball...

(Y/n): Down the hatch... Maybe nothing will happen after all...

I eat the takoyaki ball I had and ate it quick. For a good ten seconds, I had no reaction after eating it and felt safe. But that changed soon enough as there was a burning sensation happening in my mouth and throat, making my eyes shoot wide open.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Oh for Pete sake...! Why...?!!

The others looked at me as Neptune, Noire, Blanc and Vert saw me shaking from eating the ball.

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

Blanc: You're not looking too good...

Trying to steel my nerves, I try to keep calm as best as I can.

(Y/n): Y-Yeah... I'm... doing just fine... I just... have to use the restroom is all... Continue exploring around the festival without me, I'll be back before you know it...

I then get up quickly and then walk out of the classroom and hurry to the nearest restroom. Inside, I used the water to try and wash out hot spices used in the takoyaki ball as I was sweating from the spiciness it held.

(Y/n): (F/n)... You just made the shit list now buddy...

I take some time in the bathroom to calm down from the takoyaki ball with the spices I had tasted beginning to go away. I had apparently taken about fifteen minutes to get out of the bathroom from what I could guess after taking a look at the time. I take my time and walk around by myself. My friends were somewhere here in the school, so I wasn't rushed to look for them at the moment. I lean against the wall where the windows are and look out to see the other activities outside down below. Everyone is having a fun time today from what I can see. It brings a smile to my lips seeing everyone like this and being happy

???: Hello there good sir. Enjoying the view like I am?

A girl's voice gained my attention, with me looking to my left to see the person standing next to me. I couldn't see her face as it was covered under the shadows of a silver cloak.

(Y/n): Yeah, you can say that. Looking out the window and what could be down below always fascinates me.

???: Guess that makes two of us. May I ask what your name is?

(Y/n): My name's (Y/n) (L/n). But my friends just call me (Y/n). May I know yours in return?

Fortune teller: For now, I'm just a simple Fortune teller.

(Y/n): Oh, you read people's fortune's huh?

Fortune teller: Something like that. Would you like your fortune read?

I think about the offer being made to me and think for a few seconds. Looking towards the fortune teller, I give a nod with my head.

(Y/n): Sure, why not. It's a festival right now. Got to try everything you can.

The fortune teller began walking and took a seat at a nearby station with a deck of cards. The lady shuffled the cards and laid them out in front of me and gestured to them.

Fortune teller: Pick three cards from the many possibilities. These will tell me of your past, your present, and your future.

Looking at the cards, I carefully pick out one card at a time based on my judgments until three are chosen. The fortune teller then collects the remaining cards and puts them off to the side.

Fortune teller: Now, let us see what the cards tell of you, shall we?

The first card that gets flipped over shows that of a man holding a glowing lantern. The card was upside down from what I can see.

Fortune teller: Ah yes... The Hermit. Judging from the card and how it is positioned, you must have been lonely. No one to understand you, as you had to deal with troubling times with no one to rely on most of the time. Because of that, you felt so alone when you were growing up in your childhood.

This brings back some memories when I was younger as this was true. I would get picked on by a group of kids and always be afraid because I was bullied... I had no one to rely on to help me out as I didn't have any friends at the time... I watch the fortune teller then flip another card which was the middle of the three. This card showed a male and a female on the card as it had the words: The Lovers. This card was upright from what I could see.

Fortune teller: The Lovers. What a wonderful card to see in a prediction like this. Considering this card is in the present, you have found many connections in your life that you are happy to have made. That would probably be your family, friends, and to anyone who loves you. This helps counteract the loneliness you had felt in the past as it is replaced by love and harmony.

That one was even true from what I remember. I still remember the day I first saw Abby, the day I started having a little sister. I was so happy to have a little sister. Not only that, but I had even met (F/n) during my time growing up and then meeting Emma. After some time had passed, I had then met more friends during my time in Hyper dimension. Everything began to look up for me with how many people I had met and was glad to be friends with them. Three for which I had fallen in love with. I then heard the fortune teller gasp as she had flipped the card without me knowing and I saw something that was ominous... The last card I had seen, was that of a skeleton wearing a dark cloak with a giant scythe who was floating in the air as it had the word: Death. The card was upright from what I could see.

Fortune teller: Death... The meaning of end, change, transformation and transition... With this card being here in the place of the future... Something dark and foreboding will be sure to take place... The card has different outcomes to what it means... So, I don't know what this could mean for you...

I looked at the fortune teller with a shocked look and calmed down with a chuckle. Holding a hand to my head.

(Y/n): Eh... I'm not one to believe in fortune readings anyway. It probably doesn't mean anything at all. Well, it was nice meeting you.

I then begin to walk away with my hands in my pockets down the hall to continue on looking for my friends. I could hear the fortune teller get up and begin walking.

Fortune teller: Even so... You shouldn't overlook at what's been happening to you... Shalla.

This made me stop completely in my steps at hearing that name being said to me, making my eyes go wide in shock... Shalla... There were at times I had heard that name... But that was only in my dreams. My breathing becomes ragged and jittery with my heart speeding up from being really nervous at the moment. I slowly turn around to see the fortune teller standing in the middle of the hall with her face still shrouded under the cloak. I could see one thing which was a smile in the darken cloak that covered her face. I was about to ask her a really important question, but she then turned around and began to run away from me.

(Y/n): No! Stop!

I then began chasing after the silver cloaked figure as we both ran down the hall. I could see some students walking down the hall and get their attention.

(Y/n): Hey! Stop that lady!

They look at me as if I was kidding and the fortune teller ran around them. Though, they didn't follow her movements.

Student 1: What are you talking about?

Student 2: Stop who?

(Y/n): What do you-?! Augh! Never mind!

I ran around the students and continued to chase after the cloaked female.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Could they not see that lady? What is going on??

The cloaked female then went up the stairs. The person seemed to be heading to the roof of the school. During my chase, I then began feeling a pulsing pain in my head as my balance was being thrown off, forcing me to hold onto the railing. The headache got worse as seconds ticked by.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) There won't be anywhere for them to run. Once I have the person caught, I want answers! Augh... What's with this headache!?

I continue running up the stairs until I burst through the door and a bright light envelops me.

Thirty minutes earlier...

Blanc's point of view.

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

Blanc: You're not looking too good...

(Y/n): Y-Yeah... I'm... doing just fine... I just... h-have to use the restroom is all... C-Continue e-exploring around the f-festival without me... I'll be b-back before you know it...

We all watched (Y/n) as he got up and walked out of the room quick and headed for the restroom. I could see (F/n) laughing after (Y/n) left the way he did.

Emma: Seems (Y/n) got the bad one...

(F/n): Ha ha ha!! Oh this is priceless! Karma has finally shined on me!

Emma gives a death glare to (F/n) and drop kicked him into a wall. Emma then proceeded to take her glasses off and start shaking (F/n) around.

Emma: Damn it (F/n)! That wasn't funny when you did it to us the first time, it wasn't funny again!

(F/n): My... target... was (Y/n)... though...

Emma: I don't care! We were supposed to ALL have fun and not deal with anything that gets us separated!

The four of us watched Emma and (F/n) act like this and sweatdropped.

Noire: Who knew she could get this mad...?

Blanc: It is something worth seeing when I'm not the one directed at...

Neptune: Jeez... Blanc 2.0 anyone...?

Vert: It would make sense considering... Uh... Never mind...

After Emma was done scolding (F/n), they both joined back with us at the table. Emma had recomposed herself while (F/n) was still shaking in fear. Probably learned his last lesson for getting on Emma's bad side like that...

Emma: Sorry about that girls... What happened was that, (F/n) wanted to get one of us hit by a very spicy takoyaki ball... When all six of us didn't get hit... That meant (Y/n) was the loser of this chance game...

Neptune: Ha ha ha ha! No wonder (Y/n) was acting like that!

Neptune had her head down to the table and was laughing at (Y/n)'s misery from what happened. We all sighed and got up to leave the room and stand outside of it.

Noire: So, what now?

Vert: (Y/n) did say to continue on exploring for the day and that he'll catch up with us when he can.

Emma: It just wouldn't be right to just leave (Y/n) high and dry to look for us if we do that...

Neptune: Aw, don't worry Emma. (Y/n) will bounce back before you know it! I'm sure he'll be fine!

Using the time, we explored for an hour around the school. We had played games, ate some snacks and listened to some music that was around the school. Yet even then, (Y/n) was nowhere to be seen or heard of after we got separated from him...

Blanc: I wonder where (Y/n) is...?

Student 1: Huh? You're looking for (L/n)?

I looked towards a couple of students that was going to the school with us as one of them mentioned (Y/n).

Blanc: Yes, actually. (Y/n) said he would catch up with us later, but we haven't heard or seen of him for over an hour. Do you know where he went?

Student 2: Funny thing you should ask, we were walking down a hallway earlier where (Y/n) was.

Student 1: But the thing is, he told us to stop someone that was "supposedly" heading right toward the both of us.

Student 2: (Y/n) then went around us and kept running for some reason... It was really strange.

Blanc: Do you know where he could be right now??

The students thought for a second and remembered something.

Student 1: Hmm... (Y/n) did run up the steps before we lost sight of him. Maybe he's up on the roof?

I look at the students and then looked up to the roof. The thought of (Y/n) doing something even like this... Made me worry on what could be going on.

Blanc: (Thoughts) (Y/n)...? Are you okay...?

I thanked the two students and hurried to where the others were. After telling them what I had heard of, we began to rush up to the roof of the school and opened the door to find (Y/n) laying down on the ground unconscious. We rushed over to (Y/n) to see if he was okay, but seemed to be in some sort of sleep.

Emma: Is (Y/n) okay?

(F/n): How should I know Emma? We've never had to deal with something like this before.

Neptune went over to (Y/n) and looked him over. She stood back up and had a deep look.

Neptune: I deduce... That (Y/n) is asleep.

Hearing Neptune say that, we all trip and fall down to the ground at her saying that. I could see Noire get up and punch Neptune in the back of her head to leave a bump on Neptune's head.

Noire: Will you be serious with this!?

Neptune: When I have you all here... That actually falls to everyone, except myself.

Noire: How can you not be worried at a time like this?!!

Neptune: Protag rules~

I heard Noire growling at Neptune's words as Vert gently held (Y/n) to prop him slightly on her lap. I then saw (Y/n)'s eyes begin to flutter open as Vert and I noticed this.

(Y/n): Ugh... huh...? What happened...?

Vert: (Y/n), are you okay?

Blanc: We found you passed out up here...

(Y/n) sat up and held his head. He groaned in pain somewhat as it seemed to hurt. (Y/n) then took his hand away from his head and looked around him. All he could be able to see was his friends, the fences on the roof and the entrance back down into the school. (Y/n) seemed to be looking for something... or maybe "someone?"

Noire: Why are you looking around (Y/n)?

(Y/n): I... I don't know... Ugh... my head hurts...

Emma: Let's get you to the nurses room (Y/n). Maybe we can get something for your headache.

(Y/n): Y-Yeah... I would like that very much Emma... Thanks...

(Y/n) tried to get up on his own, but almost falls over again. I was able to catch (Y/n) and help him balance his weight as (Y/n) held his hand to his head.

Blanc: (Y/n)... Why were you up here...? Why were you passed out...??

(Y/n): I... I don't know... It's hard to explain with what happened... Even for me... I... I don't even know what's going on anymore...

I looked at (Y/n) with a perplexed look at what he says.

Blanc: (Thoughts) Hard to explain what happened? What REALLY happened to you (Y/n)...??

Helping (Y/n) get to the nurses room, we were able to get something for (Y/n) to help with his headache. With how (Y/n) is right now, he needs some rest to recover whatever energy he can. I just hope for (Y/n)'s sake... That nothing bad is happening with him...

(Y/n)'s point of view.

Time: Evening.

Some time had passed as I was sitting in the nurses room recovering from the headache I had earlier. My friends and love ones had found me passed out on top of the roof of the school. Though, none of it made any sense to me... I then heard the door opening and saw Neptune running up and jumping towards me, causing me to fall backwards on the school medic beds. I could see a happy look on Neptune's face while the others walked into the room normally.

Neptune: Hey (Y/n). How are you feeling?

(Y/n): I WAS feeling fine... Now I have you squishing me against the bed with your tiny body being in slight pain...

Neptune: Aww, come on. I rushed here to bring you laughs, and this is what I get??

Noire: Neptune... Please get off him. You might give him a headache again...

Neptune: And what if I don't want to? Hmm~?

I have a look of annoyance and look at Neptune. Neptune realized I was looking at her and then becomes scared in the process from the stare I was giving her.

(Y/n): Neptune... If you don't behave right now... I will ask my mom to serve eggplants for dinner tonight.

Neptune starts shaking in fear and jumps away from me to land in Noire's arms.

Neptune: Yikes...! Like mother, like son...! I can almost see a resemblence between Iris and (Y/n)...!

Blanc: Maybe if you didn't act like that, (Y/n) wouldn't have resorted to that. (Y/n) showed us that side of him when Abnes made him mad enough with the insults she threw at him...

Neptune: I almost keep forgetting that...

I sigh at the conversation happening and felt someone sit next to me on the bed. I look over to see Vert there with a slight worried look towards me.

Vert: How are you feeling (Y/n)? You feeling any better from before?

(Y/n): I should be... I don't feel as dizzy now from when you all found me on the roof...

Vert: Why were you on the roof? Blanc told us two students you shouted to earlier to stop someone... But they didn't see anyone else besides you. What happened?

My thoughts go back to that fortune teller in the silver cloak that ran away from me. Apparently I was the only one that had saw the person and not the two students... It's just too weird for something to be happening like that. Especially when it's connected to the dreams I've been having...

(Y/n): To be really honest Vert... I'm not even sure myself...

(F/n): Well... Maybe a good night rest should help. Make sure you go to bed early tonight man. We have our act to perform tomorrow.

(Y/n): Yeah, yeah. I will. I haven't forgotten that.

Noire: The festival is pretty much over for today. Why don't we all start heading out?

Emma: Yeah. Kinda getting tired myself actually.

We head for the doors of the nurses room and exit through the doors. I follow my friends slightly before stopping. I look back towards where the stairs lead to the roof as I felt someone's hand on mine. I look to see Blanc, who was trying to gain my attention.

Blanc: You okay?

(Y/n): Y-Yeah. Just deliberating if I should use the restroom before we head back home.

Blanc gave me a look before sighing and lets go of my hand.

Blanc: Well, don't take too long. We'll wait for you.

(Y/n): Okay. Be right back.

I head in the opposite direction where the others were walking and was just about to pass the steps. I stopped and looked at them as I had a serious look on my face. I had lied to Blanc about needing to use the restroom. My real intention was to head back up to the roof, where I had "supposedly" blacked out... I head back up there and open the door normally this time and walked to the middle of the school roof. I crouched down onto one knee and placed my hand where my friends had found me at.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) Just... What was that...? What the hell happened earlier...??

(Flashback)

I had ran up the stairs as the headache hurt even more. When I had reached the door and burst through it, the pain suddenly went away. But in its place, shocked me even more. Around me at the moment wasn't the school roof, but a forest with trees and dirt in its place.

(Y/n): W-What?! How did I end up in a forest?! I know for sure I was heading for the roof of the school!! What the hell is going on?!

Just then, I heard the sound of a roar and turned around to see an Ancient Dragon bursting through the trees and heading right for me! I reacted quickly and dodged out of the way, watching it fly passed me and then stop at a distance away from me. It roars to the sky, signalling I was its enemy for a fight.

(Y/n): Hmph. Fine. I'll take care of you first, and then get back to what I was doing before. You're in my way of knowing what the hell is going on here!

I focus my thoughts to bring out my sword, but it wasn't my katana I had bought in Hyper dimension or my Sapphire Spirit Blade. It was a different sword entirely that I was unfamiliar with.

(Y/n): What?!

I then sent it back and focused harder, but the same sword came out into my hand again!

(Y/n): Why can't I summon my other swords?!

In my distraction, the Ancient Dragon charged into me and knocked me into a tree. It then followed up to slamming its tail into my stomach to send me crashing through multiple trees. After I had stopped crashing, I got up onto one knee and gripped the sword I had tightly. I could see the dragon making its way toward me as I glared at it.

(Y/n): Alright... Now I'm mad. Let's go.

Taking a stance, I run towards the Ancient dragon, seeing it shot fire balls at me. I jumped from one side to another to avoid the incoming projectiles at a fast pace. When I get close enough, I run passed the dragon to deal a few slashes to its arm. It roared in pain and tried to swing its tail into me. I jumped over the incoming tail to avoid being knocked down from the attack. I then follow up by jumping onto the dragon's back and make a few slashes on the way up before jumping over the monster. When the dragon saw me again, it then began to charge up a fire breath attack. During my descent down back to the ground, I was upside down as I aimed my palm toward the dragon's head and gathered energy. When the monster released it's breath attack, I fired back.

(Y/n): Energy Shot!

Our two attacks collide with each other and makes an explosion happen between us. I used my arms to cover my face from any debris coming my way to avoid being blinded. I land on the ground rolling backwards, until I regain my footing to be in a crouched position. I look towards the dust covered area where the dragon was to see it was standing and ready to charge towards me. I get up to get into a stance again as both of us charged towards each other. When I saw it raising its arm, I thought it was going to swing down with it to hit me while I raised the sword to block it. But instead, it breathes fire at my blind spot as I could feel flames burning me from behind! I jump away to start patting the fire off of me as the flames were happening on my ass!

(Y/n): Holy shit!! Hot hot hot hot hot! My ass is on fire!!

From me being distracted, the dragon grabs me with both of its hands. The Ancient Dragon then wraps its hand around me, squeezing me tightly as it was trying to kill me. I yell in pain as I couldn't get my arms out or focus to generate energy to break free. I was at the mercy of dying to the dragon.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) N-No... I can't... die like this... Not yet...

When I thought no help was going to arrive, something happened next.

???: Can't believe you let yourself get caught like that Shalla!

(Y/n): H-Huh?!

Hearing a voice, a person came flying in and kicked the dragon in the head with their foot. The dragon reacts to it and lets me go to make me fall on my back. I breathe hard trying to regain my senses as I saw someone standing in front of me.

???: Guess I'm gonna have to do things here by myself. Can't seem to rely on you considering you're supposed to protect me.

The person I see before me is a girl with silver hair. She had on a black leotard suit the covered her arms, body and just slightly at the legs with matching shoes. She had wings that glowed a grey color to them as it floated behind her body. In her hands, looked like a bow and arrow that had some high tech equipped.

(Y/n): W-Who are you?!

The girl looked back towards me and sighed as she face palmed.

???: Jeez, have you already forgotten you idiot?

(Y/n): I am no idiot and I have never met you in my life! Who the hell are you?!

???: Guess I really must remind you then. Jeez, what a pain. I am Silver Heart, CPU of Lowee.

My eyes widen hearing CPU in the title.

(Y/n): (Thoughts) CPU of Lowee?!! But, there isn't any other CPUs that I know of except for Blanc that currently rule over Lowee!

The roar of the dragon gained both our attentions as Silver Heart focused on the dragon.

Silver Heart: Just rest Shalla. Clearly you're not on your A-game today.

(Y/n): H-Hold on! I have-!

Before I could get another word out, Silver Heart begins to charge in by flying towards the dragon. While doing so, Silver Heart took an arrow and pulled back on the bow string to fire some arrows at the dragon. The dragon brings its wings together to shield itself from the arrows as they bounce off the back of the wings. After retracting its wings, the dragon tires to attack back, but Silver Heart dodges the attack.

Silver Heart: Playing hardball to kill huh? I like a challenge.

Taking a few more arrows, Silver Heart readies her next shot. She first aims it towards the dragon as it raises its guard again. Silver Heart smirks and fires her arrows again at the dragon.

(Y/n): Uh, I'm pretty sure that won't do anything!

Silver Heart: Just watch Shalla.

Silver Heart snaps her fingers, as a portal materializes where the arrows are going. The arrows enter through the portal and closes up as another one opens up to have the arrows fly out and hit the dragon from behind. A couple of explosions could be heard with the dragon yelling in pain. I looked shocked to see something like that as Silver Heart looks back towards me with a smirk.

Silver Heart: I don't miss my shots. Each are calculated to how I play out the battle Shalla. What you saw, was a new trick I developed. A Dimensional Split I like to call it. What do you think?

I looked at Silver Heart with a shocked face. I'm trying my best to absorb any information I can from watching this fight, but I couldn't make heads or tails of any of this. The dragon slowly gets back up and roars at Silver Heart and I as Silver Heart makes an irritated groan.

Silver Heart: Jeez. When will you learn to just stay down? Guess I'll just finish this...

Charging in towards the dragon, she fires a few arrows in the process with the Ancient Dragon sending a few fire balls in the process. Each shot collides with each other and cancels the other out. When Silver Heart gets close enough to the dragon, the monster tries to make a slash towards her.

(Y/n): What are you doing?! You're a ranged fighter! Get out of there!

Silver Heart: Not everything is as they seem Shalla! Watch and learn!

Making her bow disappear, Silver Heart brings her left arm to the side and swings back as energy formed in her hands. What happened next blew my mind away from what I saw next. In her hand, was an Energy Blade! She then formed another in her right hand as she stabbed the same arm she was guarding against to jump up onto the Ancient Dragon's arm. The dragon tries to swing at her again, but jumps up higher to then throw down a blade into the dragon's eye. This causes the dragon to be blinded for a short time. This was enough time for Silver Heart, as dropped down fast and sliced the Ancient Dragon's head off with a yell. In a bright light the dragon began to dissipate and turn into nothing as I looked at Silver Heart with her back towards me. Just who was SHE?! Just as I was about to find out when she began to power down, my head gained a surge of pain as the world began to disappear around me and passed out. When I came to, I was being woken up by my friends and was on the roof again.

(Flashback End)

I have a serious look on my face still looking at the spot my friends found me for I couldn't make sense of what I had experienced. Was that a dream? Some type of illusion? It was so weird for something like that to happen to me. The worst part was, whatever damage I took in the dream, I could still feel it slightly as a phantom pain. As if... my mind was somewhere else, but not my actual body... I couldn't even make sense of it at all.

???: I figured you would be back up here.

(Insert Orange here)

I turned around at hearing a voice and saw Blanc looking at me with her hands behind her back. Giving me a stare of judgment as I stood up on my feet.

(Y/n): What made you think that?

Blanc: Because after I turned the corner, I peeked back to see you heading up the stairs to here.

I sighed as I placed a hand over my eyes at the embarrassment of getting caught.

(Y/n): I couldn't help it... I needed to understand. Understand what is happening to me. With what is going on, I don't even have a clue to what this all means... Not. One. Bit...!

I fell to my knees and slam the ground with my fists . I could hear Blanc coming closer to check to see if I was okay. That was the last thing I wanted for her to do... When she got close enough, she saw I was crying. A man hardly cries at all when trying to be strong around others. But let it all build up too much... Sooner or later, everything will come crashing down and all you can do... is just cry... I could feel Blanc wrap her arms around me and pull me into a hug tightly.

Blanc: We will figure this out. One way or another. I promise you (Y/n). I promise.

Hearing those words come from Blanc's voice, made it harder to hold back anything as I cried my eyes out. I hugged Blanc back as she softly rubbed my back as we had stayed like that for ten minutes. After I had gotten everything out of my systems, we regrouped with the others and left the school for the day. Tomorrow was when our real fun begins when we perform the act I had been wanting to do as the day ended.

To be continued...
