Third person view.

Saturday, December 17, 20XX

Location: The Park.

Time: Night.

Yelling could be heard through the park with the Earth shaking. Lights broke apart left and right as it made some of the group worried what was going on. With the ground shaking, the others had to get on the ground to avoid from falling while the CPUs hovered into the air.

Grif: T-The ground! It's shaking!

Simmons: Not just that! The the electrical current around the area is surging out of control! What's going on?!

Chuckling could be heard as the sound seemed to be coming from Johnathan.

Black Heart (Noire): Hey! What's so funny?!

Green Heart (Vert): He seems happy for some reason...

White Heart slams her axe to the ground and breaks it up slightly in anger

White Heart (Blanc): I don't like that laugh you're making John... You better explain to us right now asshole...! You know what's going on here!

Johnathan chuckles at hearing the CPUs wanting answers as to what's going on.

Johnathan: Yeah, I know what's going on... But the question is, who's the one screaming at the top of their lungs that's causing these tremors? Would take a lot of power to generate this kind of shockwave.

Iris glared towards Johnathan with knowing what was going on here.

Iris: What did you AND Dionix do to my son...?

Johnathan smirked and chuckled more. This irritated Iris from seeing Johnathan try and talk high and mighty from his position.

Johnathan: Wouldn't you like to know~?

Iris grits her teeth together in anger from Johnathan's words alone.

Iris: (I'll make him tell me...! One way or another...! If anything has happened to my family... They will regret it...!)

(Insert To the beginning by Kalafina)

Back to where the tremors where generating from, Dark Guardian had began to levitate slowly from the ground from the increase of energy erupting out of his body. Dark Guardian was yelling out in rage from having to watch his father die right in front of his eyes, and the person responsible was Dionix himself. Purple Heart was with them as she tried to guard her vision to keep the dust from flying into her eyes.

Purple Heart (Neptune): (T-This isn't good...! Not one bit...! These tremors (Y/n) is creating...! The power he's unleashing is very unstable and unpredictable at this point...! With his crystal being affected by his negative emotions, I can't tell how much power (Y/n) is unleashing right now...!)

When D. Guardian finishes charging his power up, a dark aura envelops him. In a burst of power, D. Guardian boosts forward in closing the distance quickly. This caught Dionix off guard and could only guard before getting sent through tree after tree. Dionix looks over his arms to examine how far he's been pushed back before landing on his feet. Dionix rubbed his arms from the stinging pain D. Guardian had done to him, leaving a slight dent in his armor.

Dionix: (Judging from that punch... I must have been launched away about... 7 yards. He's definitely serious on trying to end my life... (Y/n)'s energy is bursting out of control to where his anger is past the point of forgiveness with him. His punch has even dented my armor because of it... If I fight him head on, I don't know if his instincts will either out play my combat techniques... I must survive long enough until I can trap him...)

While Dionix thought to himself, D. Guardian had suddenly appeared behind Dionix in the air. Seeing a shadow be cast above him, Dionix turned around and was met with a kick to the head. That sent him flying to D. Guardian's right to crash into some rocks nearby. Purple Heart was trying to catch up to where the two were and was surprised.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Unbelievable...! (Dionix couldn't see (Y/n) coming until it was too late! (Y/n)'s anger must be really focused if he won't give his enemy a chance to fight back...! But at the same time, if (Y/n) doesn't recognize me as a friend... Myself, and the others, could be in serious danger...! I must make sure of something first...)

Before D. Guardian could begin to give chase towards Dionix, Purple Heart got in his way with her arms out to block his way. D. Guardian held back as Purple Heart landed on her feet and lowered her arms.

Purple Heart (Neptune): (Please... Let this work...!) (Y/n)...? Do... Do you know, who I am...?

D. Guardian looked at Purple Heart with a look before answering.

Dark Guardian (Y/n): Yeah, you're Neptune. Why ask such a question?

Purple Heart felt relieved that D. Guardian still knew who she was to him at least.

Purple Heart (Neptune): (Y/n)... You need to calm down...

D. Guardian (Y/n): CALM DOWN?! That bastard killed my father without any remorse! How can I be calm after seeing that?!

Purple Heart flinched when D. Guardian yelled at her. She soon regained her courage to speak to him.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Yes... You have every right to be angry... But you're releasing energy you haven't even tapped into... Possibly even more...

D. Guardian (Y/n): So what...?

Purple Heart (Neptune): (Y/n)! If you don't get yourself under control... I fear something terrible may happen...!

D. Guardian looked at Purple Heart and looked to the side.

D. Guardian (Y/n): As much as I know you're right about this... I can't calm down... I can't... Not until Dionix is gone...!

Purple Heart (Neptune): (Y/n)! Listen to yourself...! Do you understand what you're saying?! I understand Dionix killed Jasper... I do...! But attacking out of vengeance for what happened isn't your way...!

D. Guardian (Y/n): What do you expect me to do then damn it?!?! Let that piece of shit get away with this like it didn't even happen?!

Purple Heart shook her head and grasped D. Guardian's shoulders firmly, but in a way of being concern. She looked up at D. Guardian who was just taller than her slightly and looked into his glowing red eyes when D. Guardian's focus was on Purple Heart.

Purple Heart (Neptune): You know I won't say that...! But killing Dionix won't bring Jasper back... All we can try and do, is do what we can to put an end to this madness of what's happening...

Purple Heart began to cry with feeling worried about D. Guardian.

Purple Heart (Neptune): If you must kill Dionix... Do it to end the madness... But don't fuel it with your own anger...

D. Guardian looked at Purple Heart and sighed.

D. Guardian (Y/n): Fine... But I can't let go of what happened... This power stays until the job is done... Is that okay by you...?

Purple Heart looked at D. Guardian and nodded her head softly.

Purple Heart (Neptune): As long as my message is clear to you... I will... But once the battle is over, calm down as quick as you can... I want that smile I usually see come back to me...

D. Guardian (Y/n): I will...

Hearing a ball of energy being shot off, D. Guardian quickly got in front of Purple Heart and swings his right arm from left to right. D. Guardian deflects a blast of energy to the side and it explodes on contact with the ground ten meters away from them. The person responsible for firing the shot, was Dionix who had recovered from the hit he took earlier.

Dionix: Oops... Did I try and ruin a cute moment between you two...? *begins to chuckle*

D. Guardian glared at Dionix and began to focus the dark energy he was using.

D. Guardian (Y/n): Want to come over here and tell me that to my face? The last thing you'll ever see, is your ugly mug in the mirror after I give it a good beat down.

Purple Heart (Neptune): (Y/n), remember what I said...

D. Guardian (Y/n): I know... But it's really hard to not lose it right now...

Purple Heart gently took D. Guardian's hand into her own and looked at him. D. Guardian didn't move as he kept his focus on Dionix.

Purple Heart (Neptune): I can't imagine the pain you're feeling right now... You must be in so much pain from what you saw... But what if your mother or Abby saw you...? If they were watching you fight right now with what you plan to do to Dionix, are you willing to risk everything your sister looks up to you about with attacking with malice and anger...?

D. Guardian thought about his mother and sister. He clenched his right fist in anger and took a breath.

D. Guardian (Y/n): I know... Neptune... But no matter how I look at this... My father is dead... How do you think I'm ever gonna explain this to them...? Ever thought about that...?

Purple Heart looked down to the ground and shook her head.

Purple Heart (Neptune): No... I didn't... But sooner or later, we will have to tell them...

D. Guardian nodded his head in response with Purple Heart lifting from the ground and floats in the air.

Dionix: So... Done with the sappy moment between you two...? Any longer and I may have barfed...

D. Guardian (Y/n): Yeah... We're done with having our talk. But now isn't the time for words anymore...

Purple Heart (Neptune): He's right. After what you've done... You won't find any mercy after tonight.

Dionix: *chuckles* We'll see who will be seeking mercy after tonight... But just so you know... This battle has been decided before it even began.

D. Guardian (Y/n): A battle isn't decided until the very end! Don't get cocky you piece of shit!

Dionix: If you want to prove it so badly, then let our battle begin!!

Moving in sync, D. Guardian and Dionix moved at the same time with Purple Heart beginning to fly, catching up to D. Guardian before their battle began. Back with Iris' group, White Heart lifts her axe up and slings it over her shoulder.

White Heart (Blanc): You better be ready asshole... After all the shit you put us through... You're going to regret siding with Dionix.

Johnathan: Like I care anyway. All of you are nothing but a means to an end. Loose ends that need to be taken care of. As for the bitch...?

Johnathan points to Iris, cracking a smile at seeing how close he was at getting payback. But the CPUs block Johnathan's vision of Iris from him while IF went to be at Iris' side.

Johnathan: Once I get my hands on her, I'm going to give her the same punishment she gave me back at the mall.

The CPUs glared at Johnathan while IF got a pistol out while holding a knife backhanded.

Black Heart (Noire): Like hell we'll let you have your way.

Green Heart (Vert): Leave this family out of our fight. Your business is with us.

White Heart (Blanc): We have a score to settle for the times you've either insulted us, used cheap hits, and hurt many innocents. You're gonna pay for what you've done.

Johnathan raised his arms and shook his head before looking at the CPUs with a smirk.

Johnathan: We'll see about that.

Staring at each other, the CPUs don't take their eyes off of Johnathan while he did the same. When a light post sparks with electricity, the CPUs and Johnathan began to charge at one another. Black Heart reaches to where John is first and clashes blades with him. Appearing from behind Black Heart, Green Heart lifts her spear and tries to stab Johnathan during the struggle, but misses from her enemy jumping away from the attack. Johnathan thought he was safe for a moment, when White Heart came from his blind spot and slams her axe into Johnathan's side. The attack sent Johnathan into a slide until he recovered up to his feet.

Johnathan: Augh! You weren't that fast before...! How-?!

White Heart (Blanc): Apparently you forgot who helps supply us with the power we need.

Green Heart (Vert): With how huge the stakes are around this time...

Black Heart (Noire): ...(Y/n) gave us more power just for this fight.

Black Heart glares at Johnathan, making him tense up with how serious she is right now.

Black Heart (Noire): You have no sense of forgiveness in your heart for what you do to others. You do everything you can just to bring others down so you can enjoy their pain!

Johnathan: Shut up you bitch!

Johnathan charged forward to where Black Heart meets her enemy half way. When using her Tornado Chain, Black Heart makes two quick slashes and jumps away from one of Johnathan's attacks, but is then met with a kick to the face from Black Heart. When she snaps her fingers, the two slashes Black Heart made come into effect and catch Johnathan off guard to deal some good damage. When looking at Johnathan grunt in pain she brushes her hair back and stares Johnathan down.

Black Heart (Noire): From watching how you act... (Y/n) was right about you at the Fall festival. You give a bad name for people who are scum, you're basically worse than scum...

Johnathan growls in anger and gets up from the ground. Hearing an explosion from behind the CPUs area, Dionix comes flying in and slides against the ground on his back. The ground cracks and breaks from not being able to recover and stops at where Johnathan was in his armor.

Johnathan: So... Having fun with (Y/n)?

Dionix: Just shut up... You know what's happening...

At seeing Dionix arrive to where they were, Iris speaks up to gain Dionix's attention.

Iris: DIONIX!!

Hearing his name being called, Dionix looks to Iris after getting up to his feet.

Dionix: Yes, you insufferable woman...?

Iris: Where is my son?! Where is my husband?!

Dionix looked at Iris and then began to chuckle.

Dionix: The whole reason why we're even here on this fateful night.

After Dionix says that, sounds of energy blasts flew through the air towards where Dionix and Johnathan were. Both jump out of the way as the blast hits the ground.

D. Guardian (Y/n): Dionix! I'm not done with you yet, you bastard!

At hearing that voice, the CPUs that know Guardian's voice turned around and became wide eyed at what they see. D. Guardian's armor and hair was all black with no traces of the color white showing at all. D. Guardian zooms past Black, Green and White Heart to go after Dionix.

Dionix: Damn! He just doesn't give up his pursuit!

Johnathan: Welcome to the club when I first fought him like this!

When the CPUs looked back to where Dionix was, D. Guardian was sending punch after punch at Dionix. Forcing his enemy to only guard his attacks with how much he was doing. Johnathan tried to attack D. Guardian from behind with a kick, but D. Guardian sensed Johnathan's presence and caught the leg.

Johnathan: S-Shit...!

D. Guardian (Y/n): Don't think I've forgotten you... Johnathan!!

D. Guardian pulled at Johnathan's leg and spun him around to throw Johnathan into Dionix. D. Guardian growled in anger and yelled, releasing more dark energy from his body. When Purple Heart caught up to where Black, Green and White Heart were, all three began to look for answers.

Black Heart (Noire): Neptune! What the happened?!

White Heart (Blanc): You let (Y/n) go berserk?!

Purple Heart (Neptune): No! I tried to make sure it didn't happen! But no matter what I could do...

Green Heart looked around, but noticed Jasper wasn't with Purple Heart.

Green Heart (Vert): Neptune, where is Jasper? Is he safe?

Purple Heart tensed at being asked that question and looked away.

Purple Heart (Neptune): The reason why (Y/n) went berserk...is because Dionix killed Jasper right in front of us...

This surprised the CPUs that didn't know about what happened and looked at (Y/n).

Black Heart (Noire): So the reason why (Y/n) went berserk...?!

Purple Heart (Neptune): Noire... I couldn't be more serious than how it is...

White Heart clenched her fist into a tight grip while Green Heart looked over to where Iris and Abby were.

Green Heart (Vert): Iris... Abby... They'll be devastated when we tell them...

White Heart (Blanc): Those bastards... Those damn bastards!

Purple Heart placed a hand on White Heart's shoulder and gripped it slightly.

Purple Heart (Neptune): I feel the same, Blanc. But we need to focus on keeping the others safe while we fight the enemy. There'll be a time to mourn for Jasper later... But now isn't the time...

Black Heart looked at Purple Heart and saw a tear go down her cheek. Knowing that Purple Heart was trying to stay strong and help guide the others still.

Black Heart (Noire): She's right... As much as we want to feel grief for Jasper... We need to focus on defeating Dionix and Johnathan first.

Green Heart nods her head and focuses back on her allies.

Green Heart (Vert): You're right... Keeping everyone calm as we can right now... Including Abby... is most important right now... I don't want to tell them Jasper is dead... But sooner or later, we will when we have too...

White Heart (Blanc): Fine... What's the plan?

Purple Heart (Neptune): Well...

As Purple Heart was about to try and think up a plan, landing on the ground a few feet from the CPUs, was Mira. Some damage was still seen on Mira's body, but seemed to be healed enough to safely continue fighting.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Mira?

Mirasashiro: CPUs... I know some of you may not trust me still... But-

White Heart (Blanc): Okay, just stop right there...

Mira looked at White Heart from her cutting him off in mid sentence. White Heart places her axe on the ground.

White Heart (Blanc): Look... *sighs* As much as I hate what happened in Hyper dimension... For a second time, even for a third considering you already look damaged from fighting someone... You seemed to really have had a change of heart. Actions speak louder than words as I like to put it... But you've proven that you're here to help us.

Mira looked at White Heart and nodded his head at hearing that she trusted him now.

Black Heart (Noire): Even during when Dionix and Johnathan fought together a few weeks back, you bought me enough time to get to (Y/n)'s location to help him and healed our wounds. You've proven yourself more than enough, Mira.

Mirasashiro: Thank you. Now, where's (Y/n)?

To answer his question, D. Guardian comes sliding backwards to a halt. Mira could see D. Guardian in his current condition and was shocked.

Mirasashiro: (Y/n)'s form? What happened to it?

Green Heart (Vert): We witnessed something like this at the baseball stadium. When (Y/n) went berserk, he transformed and his form reflected off of his anger. Would be shifting slowly from white to black, but something happened to where his anger skyrocketed. Making what you see (Y/n) look like right now his current state of emotions.

Mirasashiro: What has happened that angered (Y/n) to this degree...?

The CPUs were quite before Black Heart spoke up.

Black Heart (Noire): We only found this out from Neptune just recently, but... Dionix...killed Jasper in front of her and (Y/n)...

Mirasashiro: What?!

Mira looked over towards where D. Guardian was as the fight was continuing with it being 2V1 battle. D. Guardian blocked a punch from Dionix with his right forearm and blocked a sword slash from Johnathan by focusing his energy to strengthen his armor.

D. Guardian (Y/n): How does it feel when pushed into a corner when you can't hit your enemy effectively? Makes you want to throw up considering the pressure you must be feeling!

D. Guardian pushed up with both arms and grabs both Johnathan's and Dionix's faces to slam them into the ground. Beginning to spin, D. Guardian picks up speed to gain momentum and let go of his enemies to send them flying. Johnathan crashes into a rock, while Dionix crashed through the icy surface of a lake. Taking some deep breaths, D. Guardian lets out a roar of anger, causing wind to blow in every direction from the force of his energy. Seeing that the coast was clear for a moment, Iris and her group went over to where Mira and the CPUs were.

Iris: Neptune! What happened to my son?! Where is my husband?!

When asked that question, Purple Heart looked away to not look at Iris as Green Heart quickly jumped in.

Green Heart (Vert): Jasper... Is currently knocked out and hidden safely Iris. Neptune told us this before you all came over.

Iris: R-Really?

At quickly picking up on Green Heart's plan, Black Heart also jumped in to help keep the act going.

Black Heart (Noire): ...Yes. The reason why (Y/n) went berserk, was because Neptune here told us that Dionix roughed Jasper up a little too much... Right, Neptune?

Having collected her thoughts, Purple Heart was able to look back and nod her head.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Y-Yes. Jasper is just fine Iris. Once (Y/n) was at his father's side, Jasper is good as new... But for safety reasons, we couldn't bring him due to the risk of any more damage...

Iris looked at Purple Heart and had a sigh of relief, but IF had caught onto Purple Heart's stuttering like that.

Captain IF: (That stutter... Something isn't being told the truth here... Whatever the reason is... It'll have to wait until later...)

IF looked over to where D. Guardian is, who began charging towards the icy lake. Seeing D. Guardian heading towards where Dionix is, Johnathan followed after his enemy. Dionix was climbing out of the water when he heard the sounds of footsteps charging towards him. Who he sees is an enraged Guardian with his arm pulled back.

D. Guardian (Y/n): Take this!

Before D. Guardian gets close, Dionix begins feeling a surge of power emanate in his body. Feeling the familiar surge, he began to smile.

Dionix: (It has begun! Now to try and wait it out as long as I can.)

When D. Guardian gets close and throws the punch, Dionix channels energy to catch the punch.

Dionix: Time to turn the tables around.

D. Guardian was about to throw the other punch when Johnathan flies in from behind and crashes into him. Johnathan flew D. Guardian to the middle of the park and grabbed his leg to begin spinning him around.

Johnathan: Remember when you spined me around, (L/n)? Have a taste of your own medicine!

Johnathan lets go of D. Guardian, making him sail towards the ground very fast. Channeling energy to his hands, D. Guardian times it to create a pressure of air in breaking his landing. D. Guardian looks up and yells to Johnathan.

D. Guardian (Y/n): Gonna have to try harder John! I will not go down that easily!!

D. Guardian crouched down and focused energy to his legs. Jumping up, the ground caves in from the power used to fly up and slam into Johnathan. Knocking his enemy off balance, they begin to fall while D. Guardian held onto Johnathan's suit.

D. Guardian (Y/n): You want to be so damn powerful, yet you decide to attack my family and my friends...

D. Guardian gave a a deep glare at Johnathan that began to frighten him.

D. Guardian (Y/n): Let's see where that gets you... AS I BEAT YOU TO A PULP!

D. Guardian soon began to throw multiple punches at Johnathan in the chest on their way down. Each punch made was not held back. The pain D. Guardian felt when Dionix killed his father, has made any feelings for forgiveness leave from D. Guardian's mind. Johnathan had a hand in helping Dionix in killing one of the people D. Guardian cherished. Because of that, any chance Johnathan would have at seeing mercy was gone.

Johnathan: (Gah...! The punches I'm taking almost seem like there's no armor protecting me...! Is this what happens when (L/n) doesn't hold back?! I know I was told that (L/n) took on all four CPUs alone...But I didn't expect it to be this much...!)

D. Guardian was about to throw one more punch, until Dionix comes in and slams into D. Guardian while catching Johnathan quickly. D. Guardian crashes into the ground while Dionix had Johnathan's arm over Dionix for some support.

Dionix: It's working, John. The energy I'm feeling is happening.

Johnathan: Tch... Well...? How long do we have to wait...?

Dionix shook his head at not knowing the answer. Pressing a button on his armor, Johnathan began to feel some strength return to his body as it became easier to move for him. With feeling some strength come back to him, Johnathan removed his arm around Dionix.

Dionix: I do not know how long we have, but with how much is coming in... I say maybe ten minutes at least.

Johnathan: Augh... This sucks so much...

D. Guardian began to get back up to his feet slowly Dionix points his palm to D. Guardian and fires a few shots, knocking his target away from them.

Dionix: Once he weakens enough, I'll need you to hold him down with your chains.

Johnathan: Damn... This better work... I may want this fool dead, but it isn't worth it if I die in during the process.

Dionix: You won't we just- Hmm?

Dionix summoned his sword and blocks against a few energy bolts made towards him and Johnathan. The source of the shots were the drones Mira uses. With Dionix and Johnathan distracted, the CPUs and Mira were able to get to D. Guardian's side. Mira extends a hand out toward D. Guardian to help him up.

Mirasashiro: (Y/n), how are you feeling?

D. Guardian (Y/n): I'm fine... But where are the others?

Green Heart (Vert): They are safe for now. We...also heard what happened to Jasper... Are you going to be okay, (Y/n)...?

D. Guardian (Y/n): Yeah... But I'll be ever ecstatic if I can kill Dio and Johnathan. I swear...they're like vampires you can't even kill...

Purple Heart (Neptune): Quite the team with those kinds of names really...

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

Purple Heart shook her head and looked to where Dionix and Johnathan was. With the few drones that had circled around them, Dionix and Johnathan began to refocus on their opponents.

Johnathan: Heh... Well, if it isn't The Ridiculous Six and all their idiocy.

D. Guardian (Y/n): Hmph. Here I thought you would make a better insult. Guess your time away from school has made you dumber than I am, dumbass.

Johnathan: Why you-!

Dionix: Enough of this nonsense! I will not waste another second on pointless talks.

D. Guardian (Y/n): Heh, couldn't have said it better. Considering you ARE me after all...

Dionix looked at D. Guardian and glared.

Dionix: I only said it because it is pointless. If I want time to progress in what I have plans for, I would rather do it by fighting. Even though the process is already in effect.

Mira became curious on the matter and remembered from when Dionix and Johnathan had teamed up. Dionix had mentioned about making (Y/n) angry in a way.

Mirasashiro: Shalla, why do you want (Y/n) to be angered this much??

Dionix: DO NOT CALL ME THAT!

Dionix began to radiate in a dark energy at being reminded of his old name.

Dionix: I do not have to tell you my reasons as to WHY I'm doing this! Know, that it will spell your doom...

D. Guardian (Y/n): Go ahead and try... But just so you know...

D. Guardian begins to radiate a dark energy like Dionix.

D. Guardian (Y/n): I will make you pay for killing my father...

Dionix looked at D. Guardian, and began to chuckle.

Dionix: You're talking about that dead corpse back there? He was nothing but cannon fodder caught in the crossfire.

This enraged D. Guardian when Dionix talked about his father like that with no respect.

D. Guardian (Y/n): You bastard...! How dare you speak about my father like that!

D. Guardian's energy spiked out of control with the ground breaking from his energy.

D. Guardian (Y/n): My father was a good man! And you have the nerve to disown him after using what strength he had to protect my family and myself?! I've had it! I'm going to obliterate you from the face of the Earth itself!!

Dionix began to laugh more and points to D. Guardian only.

Dionix: Then come. You'll be joining your father sooner or later all the same.

Feeling his boiling point explode, D. Guardian let out a roar of anger and explodes the ground beneath him. Mira was still unsure of what Dionix, or Shalla to him, had planned for his reason on making (Y/n) this angry.

Mirasashiro: No! (Y/n) don't let-!

Before Mira could tell D. Guardian on what to do, D. Guardian launches forward while using Flash Step to close the distance between him and Dionix faster. D. Guardian was in a frenzy of anger with what Dionix had said to him, making any reason to listen be pushed from his mind.

D. Guardian (Y/n): (I'm going to kill this bastard! I don't care what happens to me anymore, all I want is my friends to be safe!)

D. Guardian lets a flurry of punches and kicks be dealt to Dionix, pushing him backwards away from the group. In his mind, Ivory tried to call out to him.

Ivory (In (Y/n)'s head): (Y/n)! You have to calm down! (Y/N)!

Her words fall onto deaf ears with D. Guardian's abandonment to reason and judgment. D. Guardian soon kicks Dionix hard in the side to launch him across the park and soon begin chasing his enemy down. Black Heart looks at Purple Heart in giving a command.

Black Heart (Noire): Neptune! You and Mira go after (Y/n)! I don't like how this is going on! I have a bad feeling if (Y/n) keeps this up, who knows what might happen!

Purple Heart (Neptune): Right! You girls stay safe too.

White Heart (Blanc): We will. Now go and help him! Johnathan is ours for the taking.

Green Heart (Vert): I must agree. After all, I still remember the time when he called my chest FAKE... He'll know the end of my spear very well after what happens tonight.

White Heart sweats and looks at Green Heart.

White Heart (Blanc): You need to set your priorities straight better, Thunder Tits...

Purple Heart looks to Mira in checking if he's ready to go and got a nod as a response.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Looks like we're off and know who we're fighting. We'll be back with (Y/n) before you know it.

Black Heart (Noire): Then what are you doing just standing here? Waiting for an invitation?? Get going!

With a thumbs up, Purple Heart turns to where Mira is one last time.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Alright. Mira, let's go!

Mirasashiro: Right!

Beginning to head towards where D. Guardian and Dionix is while Black, White and Green Heart charged in towards Johnathan to begin their fight. On the way to where D. Guardian was, Purple Heart and Mira began to talk to each other. Purple Heart was flying while Mira was running on his feet.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Mira?

Mirasashiro: What is it?

Purple Heart (Neptune): Thank you, for helping protect Iris and the others as much as you could.

Mirasashiro: Oh, you're welcome.

Purple Heart (Neptune): You've helped us a few times now when we couldn't be there to help (Y/n) or those close to him. Why do all of this though?

Mira looked away and focused on the shockwaves happening that seemed to be coming from D. Guardian and Dionix are at.

Mirasashiro: It's because (Y/n) hasn't seen the horrors of what happens when a person losses someone close to them...

Purple Heart was about to ask what Mira meant, but he continued to speak.

Mirasashiro: And I don't mean when you train in simple training or in a short fight... I'm talking about what war brings when two conflicting sides meet. Shalla had given up all hope when Ivory was lost to him... I was Ivory's friend also, but when Shalla wanted to kill everyone in his clan... I couldn't follow that kind of path. I would do what it takes to get the job done, but if it was to commit something that would involve genocide...? I could not take it upon myself to kill dozens of people, for which some would be innocent. (Y/n) had never seen death happen in front of his face before... With the death of his father, it has unleashed a buried emotion (Y/n) had never experienced before.

Purple Heart (Neptune): And what emotion is that?

Mirasashiro: Hatred. The emotion that brings pain and sorrow to those who has lost someone they cared about from an enemy taking their life. I don't know Shalla's reason on why he did this... But I can tell that it won't be good...

With the battle between D. Guardian and Dionix still going on, D. Guardian picks Dionix up and begins bashing his enemy through trees. Each tree that is met with Dionix's back causes him pain from the force of each hit. D. Guardian then tosses his enemy up slightly and grabs Dionix's leg, soon beginning to spin around. Dionix couldn't move due to the g-force he felt and was flung away to crash into a wall. D. Guardian took some breaths in to catch his breath, but soon saw Dionix get up without even trying. Dionix looked at his hand and began to laugh uncontrollably.

Dionix: (Unbelievable! All of (Y/n)'s power is flowing into me like crazy! This kind of power is unlike anything I've felt in my life!)

D. Guardian began to rush towards Dionix, but even with using Flash Step, Dionix was able to see D. Guardian and counter attack his enemy by grabbing D. Guardian's arm and then slam him into the wall. Dionix begins to beat D. Guardian senselessly, burying him deeper and deeper into the wall.

Dionix: Ha hahahahahaha! I've never felt such energy in my life!

D. Guardian (Y/n): If you like is so much, then go ahead and have a BLAST!

D. Guardian uses his arms to knock Dionix's arms out of the way and charged an Energy Shot in his palms and fired at his enemy. Dionix was sent sliding backwards from the blast and got back up slowly. No damage was dealt to Dionix in anyway.

Dionix: Only a little longer... And then I will achieve the ultimate power.

Mirasashiro: Not while I have anything to say about it!

Dionix: Huh?!

Out of nowhere, a few drones clasp onto Dionix and wrap wires around their enemy. Dionix struggles to get freed as Purple Heart and Mira head over to where D. Guardian is and help him out of the wall.

Purple Heart (Neptune): How are you fairing?

D. Guardian (Y/n): I'm fine.

Dionix yelled and caused a small explosion where he is and gets freed from his bindings and stands back up.

Dionix: Guess I'm facing you three? Then Johnathan has his work cut out for him.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Whatever it is that you have planned, we won't let you do it.

Dionix: You say that now, but my plans are already coming into fruition. It won't be long now.

D. Guardian (Y/n): What do you want with ME!? Stop playing around the f***ing question!!

Dionix laughed and points to D. Guardian having a sadistic smile under his helmet.

Dionix: Once I have weakened you enough, I will make us whole again with unlimited power! Once that happens, no one will be able to stop me!

This shocked the three in hearing this Mira took a step forward in being the most shocked of them all.

Mirasashiro: Make you whole again?! How?!

Dionix: Why don't you ask (Y/n)? After all, his anger being released like this is creating the perfect catalyst for a new body to inhabit.

D. Guardian glared at Dionix and sweats lightly at hearing this.

D. Guardian (Y/n): And what happens to me once that happens...?

Dionix: Once I am completely merged with you, you will rot in the depths of my dark power and die. You will become that of an empty memory everyone will forget.

Purple Heart looked between the two and the thought of losing (Y/n) scared her.

Purple Heart (Neptune): You want to imprison (Y/n) in his own body and die because of it?! But he's you!

Dionix: That FAKE is not me! I am nothing like him!

Purple Heart was about to contest with that, but D. Guardian placed a hand on Purple Heart's shoulder to tell her to stop.

D. Guardian (Y/n): It's no use talking to someone that won't even listen. He's so far up on his high horse that the thought of someone he could have been is out the window. Besides... I don't care who he is, he killed my father... I won't forgive him for this.

Purple Heart looks between Dionix and D. Guardian, sighing at how this came to happen.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Alright... But just don't forget that taking it out of vengeance won't bring Jasper back... Do it out of the need to protect who you can.

D. Guardian (Y/n): As long as I get consent to kill this bastard, I'm fine with that.

https://youtu.be/g29X3YcZquo

With their talk being over, D. Guardian, Mira and Purple Heart faced towards Dionix. He chuckled softly while looking at D. Guardian, making his enemy glare towards him. Mira was about to go in first, when D. Guardian pushed Mira back and charged forward instead.

D. Guardian (Y/n): He's mine!

Mirasashiro: No (Y/n)! Don't give him what he wants!

D. Guardian drew his sword with Dionix summoning his out. Both clash in contesting for strength, but D. Guardian already begins to falter in being pushed back. The struggle didn't last long as Purple Heart and Mira came in to assist their ally by pushing Dionix away from D. Guardian. Dionix releases a force of energy to push both of them back and but resumes to blocking each strike being made towards him by Purple Heart once again.

Dionix: Blasted CPU! Get out of my way! (Y/n) is my prize I've been working hard for so long!

Purple Heart (Neptune): I won't let you do what you want with (Y/n)!

Dionix: You don't have a say in this! Look at your "beloved" (Y/n). He's already weakening from using the crystal in that kind of way!

With Purple Heart trying to keep Dionix on the defensive, Mira took it upon himself to look and saw D. Guardian having some labored breathing.

Dionix: I have been practicing and testing my powers far longer than that brat has experience with! I know of its capabilities and had many years of training! Having six months of using the crystal does not make him a master of it!

Purple Heart (Neptune): Maybe not, but it's the dedication you put into it that makes the difference!

Dionix: That means nothing compared to my power!

Purple Heart (Neptune): Yes it does! I've seen (Y/n) work hard to become who he is! You're so blind in not seeing that you could have been like (Y/n) if the situations were different!

Dionix glared at Purple Heart and grits his teeth.

Dionix: Shut the hell up you stupid bitch! You know nothing of my life or anything I've faced!

Dionix counters Purple Heart and makes an attempt to slash at her, but an shield made of energy blocks it. The person who saved Purple heart was Mira.

Dionix: And you! How could you side with them, after all we've been through after Ivory died?!

Mirasashiro: It was time to move on Shalla! That's why I've joined with them against you! It's time that you accept that Ivory is dead!

Dionix: I trusted you...! Now you've abandoned me?! Fine! You can join them for all I care! I'll kill you all the same!

Dionix pushed against Mira's shield jumps backwards to get some distance. Purple Heart and Mira chase after Dionix and bring their weapons out to strike. In a blinding light, the fight switches to where Johnathan and the other CPUs were as their fight still kept going. With three powered up CPUs and getting some extra energy to use, Johnathan had a hard time keeping up. He used his energy chains to wrap up White Heart, but soon gets kicked by Black Heart in the face. Green Heart frees White Heart from the chains and continued to fight with Johnathan. Finding a secluded place to watch the fight, Iris' group observes what's going on.

Grif: Shouldn't we try to get AWAY from where all the craziness is?

Simmons: We may each have some skills... But not like what those people can do.

Captain IF: Would you like me to show you what happens to chickens who run away?

Grif: *groans* Fine. But can't we at least get some popcorn?

Captain IF: Grif! That's our friends out there fighting!

Iris looked at Grif, sending shivers down his spine.

Iris: Not to mention my son being somewhere in the state he's in. Would you like to retract that statement that you made in front of me?

An Oni mask appears behind Iris that scares the living daylights out of Grif.

Grif: O-Okay! Okay! Get that creepy mask out of the sky! What the hell is that even?!

Captain IF: That's (Y/n)'s mother for ya. Where do you think he got his anger and ways to torture people from?

Some exclamation points pop out of Grif's head and causes him to sweat.

Grif: I am going to die if I anger her... Won't I?

Captain IF: Yes. Yes, you will. I highly suggest not doing it.

Simmons: Wise words Captain!

Grif: Why do you got to be such a kiss ass, Simmons...?

Simmons: Shut up.

Iris: Both of you better be quiet and not cuss in front of my daughter. If you don't I'll give you a REAL reason not to anger me. Less you want to experience the clothes line incident I put my son and his best friend through.

IF looks at Iris and sweats.

Captain IF: What is the clothes line incident anyway... (Y/n) feared any mention of it...

Iris: *chuckles* Trust me, you don't want to know.

IF sighs and resumes on watching the fight. Johnathan blocks a sword strike from Black Heart and kicks her away while Green Heart rushes in and uses Rainy Ratnapura on him. John counters on using his Sinister Rush and clashes up to 7 of Vert's strikes, but Johnathan gets three hits in on her. Johnathan's senses were heightened with the pressure that he's feeling.

Johnathan: (God damn this sucks! What the hell is taking so long to weaken a fool like (L/n)?! If I run out of energy because of this, he's on his own!)

Hearing a yell, White Heart charged in and activated her Tanzerin Trombe. She began to spin in circles with her axe sticking out to hit Johnathan multiple times. When slowing down, White Heart lifts the axe up and slams it down towards Johnathan. The attack knocked him away into a slide backwards. He quickly gets back into a stance and blocks an incoming drop attack from Black Heart.

Black Heart (Noire): Give it up! Sooner or later, you won't be able to keep up with us. And don't think we'll fall for the electrical trap again. A CPU never forgets cheap tricks!

Johnathan: Tch...! I won't have to for long. Once Dionix brings back your idiotic boyfriend, he'll be ours for the taking.

Black Heart (Noire): What's that supposed to mean?!

Johnathan: You'll see soon enough.

Johnathan pushed up to unbalance Black Heart in the air and channeled energy into his fist to punch her away. The scene transitions to where Mira and Purple Heart trying to land a good blow on Dionix, but with his current increase of power, he had no trouble in keeping up with them.

Dionix: You fools! How long do you wish to defy me of my right!?

Purple Heart (Neptune): As long as we can keep fighting!

Mirasashiro: You will not do what you want with (Y/n)!

Dionix: SILENCE!! I will not tolerate this anymore!

Dionix swings his blade with energy infused into it and sends Purple Heart and Mira flying past where D. Guardian is. Feeling his energy is being drained, D. Guardian summons out his Share Crystal Generator in an attempt to try and make a Share Crystal. But he doesn't get that attempt as an energy blast hits his right hand, sending the device backwards towards where Mira was. Mira sits up and his hand grazes against the box as it gained his attention.

Mirasashiro: (Huh? What is this?)

Mira picks it up while Purple Heart gets up onto her knee. Purple Heart didn't notice Mira picked something up as she heard D. Guardian's scream of pain as Dionix pulled him up to his feet. Dionix sent a punch into D. Guardian over and over. Each punch made would crack a portion of D. Guardian's armor or knock it off of his body. With needing to focus on the fight for now, Mira puts the Share Crystal Generator away into a compartment in his armor.

Dionix: Look at you. So pathetically weak! A fool like you couldn't match up to MY power!!

Dionix sent a big blast into D. Guardian's stomach and launched him into a tree. Dionix didn't miss a step to continue laying waste to D. Guardian and make him weaker. When picking his enemy up, D. Guardian's head lops over to the side while breathing heavily.

Dionix: Hmph. Looks like he's had enough. Anymore damage, and I might kill him... But we can't have that now, can we (L/n)?

D. Guardian (Y/n): S-Screw...you...

Dionix: Glad to see your rebellious spirit hasn't died yet. Good. For what we plan to do together, I want to earn this. So don't go dying on me yet, brat.

Dionix makes his sword disappear, slings D. Guardian over his shoulder and turns to face towards Purple Heart and Mira. Purple Heart was worried with what was happening to D. Guardian as she stared at his limp form.

Dionix: As much as I want to end you two right now, I think taking control over (Y/n)'s body and having his hands finish you off one by one will satisfy me more than just that. Be thankful I will be letting you watch as I ascend into a higher being than I already am. But know this; If you come and try to stop me, I will not hesitate to end your lives when we fight again.

Dionix began to laugh and lets it build up to laugh loudly. Purple Heart gets up to her feet and dashes forward in an attempt to slash at Dionix, but holds back when Dionix tired to use D. Guardian's body as a shield. Using the opportunity, Dionix sends a blast at Purple Heart and sends her backwards to be caught by Mira in his arms. With needing to gain assistance in taking over D. Guardian's body, Dionix opened a portal to disappear into it. Mira looked at where Dionix used to be and felt Purple Heart get herself out of Mira's hold. She fell to her knees as Mira activated some of his drones to begin healing her wounds.

Mirasashiro: Please don't move... You're badly hurt...

Purple Heart (Neptune): No... (Y/n)'s in danger... We-

Mirasashiro: We will save him. But going in while being this damaged will not help him. You would only be helping Dionix in having him kill you faster.

Purple Heart looked at Mira and nodded her head.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Thank you... Mira...

While Mira was having the drone heal up Purple Heart foot steps began to approach to where the two were. That being (F/n), Emma, the Takasu family, with their friends as well. After getting a long lecture from Ami, Kitamura had a shirt on now while the group was still dressed from when they were at the dance. (F/n) saw how badly hurt Purple Heart was as she had some of her body suit is torn in some places.

(F/n): Neptune!

Emma: Oh god, Neptune! Are you okay?

Purple Heart (Neptune): I'm fine... It's thanks to Mira here...

Ryuuji stepped forward and looked at the damage made to the park.

Ryuuji: A fight happened here... Where's (Y/n)...?

Purple Heart froze at being asked that as (F/n) caught onto this.

(F/n): Neptune... Where is (Y/n)??

Purple Heart became sad and looked at him.

Purple Heart (Neptune): (F/n)... (Y/n)'s in serious trouble...

(F/n): How much...?

Purple Heart (Neptune): Where his life is in danger...

At hearing this the situation started to get dire with Purple Heart explaining what has happened so far to them. The attention soon goes back to where Johnathan and the other CPUs were as Johnathan crashes down to the ground and recovers to send a blast of energy into Green Heart. Coming up from behind him, Black Heart had her sword ready to attack him, but Johnathan dodges out of the way to then get hit by White Heart. Johnathan goes sliding across the snow and uses an arm to prop himself up to look at the CPUs.

Johnathan: (Tch...! I can't keep doing this any longer by myself...! Any time now Dionix! Where the hell are you at?!)

The CPUs begin to charge towards Johnathan, when a few blasts come flying in front of them unexpectedly. Black, White and Green Heart get hit by the blasts and fall to the ground. Appearing behind Johnathan, Dionix holds a half conscious D. Guardian over his shoulder.

Dionix: Did I keep you waiting?

Johnathan: Took you long enough... So, I take it's almost time...?

Dionix: Yes. Go and secure him to a tree...

Dionix sets D. Guardian down on the ground next to Johnathan and gets in front to be like a shield.

Dionix: ...I'll handle these three for a little bit.

Up where Iris' group was, Iris placed both hands on the rock she was looking over and saw her son lying on the ground next to his enemies while IF held Abby. In the distance, she could see the CPUs look up and see that D. Guardian was being picked up by Johnathan.

Iris: (Y/n)...!

Iris was about to get down when Grif laid a hand on her shoulder.

Grif: Iris, I know what you're thinking, and it isn't a very good one if I have to say anything...

Iris: Oh, really?? I haven't thought about it! But that's my SON down there!

Simmons: We know, Iris. We do. But going in there to put yourself at risk is not advisable. What do you think Jasper would do if...

Before Simmons could answer Iris held up a hand.

Iris: Just stop... Ugh... Fine. But you better go in there and save my son.

Grif: Trust us, there's only a few people we respect that's part of our lives. If they needed us, we would be there to help them.

Simmons: That kid and his friends reminded us about how we were back in our days when roaming through space and wherever we went. We've seen dangers that involved with conspiracies, lies and endangerment to many people.

Grif: When it comes down to it, we're like wild cards you can't predict until it's too late.

With having their goals set, Grif and Simmons began to watch what happens in order to see what the enemy plans on doing. Johnathan begins to walk D. Guardian away from the CPUs while Black Heart gets to her feet.

Black Heart (Noire): Hey! Where do you think you're going with him?! Put him down!

Dionix: You should be more worried for yourselves right now. With what will happen soon... You will never be able to attack me.

White Heart and Green Heart soon get up to their feet as they lift their weapons also.

White Heart (Blanc): Then we'll just have to defeat you before that happens.

Dionix began to chuckle and waved a finger slowly.

Dionix: I'll like to see you try. I have always wanted to face three CPUs all at once. Especially at their strongest forms.

Green Heart caught onto this, with Dionix thinking their current forms were what he sees.

Green Heart (Vert): (Our "strongest" forms? Then he hasn't seen the Next Forms at all. We usually keep those under reserve in case of needing extra power to handle a tough enemy... But even then, we don't have a way to crystalize any faith or have an Oracle to solidify them to be used like that.)

This reminded Green Heart of the Share Crystal Generator Noire had told the others about while (Y/n) was unconscious at the time. It still held Two charges of Planeptune energy from their time being on Earth. But with her thinking that it was still in D. Guardian's inventory and not currently with Mira, they were in a tricky situation. For now, until they could get their hands on the box

Green Heart (Vert): Yes. Our "strongest" forms. Let's see how much you can handle against three CPUs at once.

Dionix: You'd be surprise with what I can do now.

The three CPUs stared at Dionix before rushing in on Dionix. Dionix used Flash Step to gain a burst of speed and quickly circled behind them with his sword summoned. Feeling a presence behind them, Black Heart brought her sword over to block a strike aimed at White Heart while Green Heart thrusts her spear backwards in an attempt to land a blow. But with how quick Dionix was right now, he was able to dodge it in midair. Dionix grabbed Green Heart's spear and pulled on it to bring her up and slam her down to the ground. Dionix aims his palm towards where Black Heart is and fires a few shots her way, but she deflects them from side to side. Dionix suddenly appears in front of her and has a fist ready to hit her as it connects cleanly. Black Heart coughs up some spit from the hit she was dealt.

Black Heart (Noire): (He's so fast!)

Dionix punches forward to send Black Heart flying, but she recovers into a slide. White Heart swings her axe at Dionix to be blocked by him.

Dionix: Give up. You are only delaying the inevitable at this point.

White Heart (Blanc): Don't tell me to give up. Not while (Y/n) is in danger.

Dionix: Then you will die in vain of being destroyed!

Dionix effortlessly pushes up against White Heart and knocks her off balance. Dionix jumps and does a double thrust kick that sends White Heart flying into Green Heart, who catches her ally into a backwards slide. Once seeing how much Dionix can do, they need to think more effectively on how to fight him. With Johnathan, he places D. Guardian against a tree and begins using his chains to wrap his enemy up with.

Johnathan: Once Dionix is able to get here, the preparations will commence. All I have to do now, is wait for his ass to get over here when he can.

Johnathan turns around in wanting to begin waiting for Dionix and comes face to face with four snow men lined together. Each seemed they were rushed in the building process.

Johnathan: W-What the-?? Where did these snowmen come from?? They weren't here when I was carrying (L/n)... What is the meaning of this??

Johnathan walks on over to inspect each snowmen while Simmons appears from behind the tree D. Guardian was at. With Johnathan distracted, Simmons began on trying to free D. Guardian from his restraints. D. Guardian groaned in pain as he saw Simmons was here.

D. Guardian (Y/n): S-Simmons...?

Simmons: *Whispers* Don't worry kid, we're gonna get you out of here. Just hold tight.

Johnathan kept inspecting each snowmen until he looks back and sees Simmons.

Johnathan: H-Hey! Get away from him!

Simmons: Shit! Grif, now!

Jumping out from the first right of the snowmen, Grif brings his arms up under Johnathan's to get into a Full Nelson move with his legs wrapped around him from behind.

Grif: Ha! Got you now asshole!

Johnathan: WHAT?! You were in the snowman?!

Grif: Yup! You don't know this, but me and some of my friends each have a weird quirk! Mine is just being able to build and hide in snowmen really well!

Johnathan: God damn it! Let me go!

Grif: No dice you f***er! Simmons! Get that kid freed!

Simmons: Working on it!

Watching Simmons try and free his target, Johnathan faced toward where Dionix is supposed to be at and shouted.

Johnathan: DIONIX!! IF YOU STILL PLAN ON DOING TO (L/N) LIKE WE DISCUSSED, YOUR WINDOW IS BEGINNING TO CLOSE!! HURRY YOU SON OF A BITCH!!

Hearing Johnathan's words from a distance, Dionix looked towards the CPUs and grips his hand into a fist.

Dionix: Well... Looks like I need to rush now... Be glad you might see my power come into fruition sooner than later. With what happens... You will DIE!

Dionix creates a portal to jump through it as the CPUs tried to chase him down, but closes up soon after he went in.

White Heart (Blanc): Damn it! He got away again!

Purple Heart (Neptune): Girls!

Hearing Purple Heart's voice, the CPUs turned to face her and sees Mira and their other friends were arriving with Purple Heart.

Black Heart (Noire): Neptune! What happened?! We saw (Y/n) was-!

Purple Heart (Neptune): No time to explain! We have to hurry and stop Dionix from reaching (Y/n)!

White Heart (Blanc): Why?! What the hell is going on here?!

Mirasashiro: Shalla plans on taking over his body! That's what's going on here!

With hearing that, they instruct (F/n) and the others to wait at a safe location as the CPUs and Mira head towards where Johnathan was last seen walking towards and yelled from. With the coast clear though, Iris and If, who was carrying Abby, went down to meet the others who had arrived.

Iris: (F/n), Emma?? What are you doing here??

(F/n): We saw (Y/n) go rushing away from the dance and didn't know why he broke through the wall like he did.

Emma: After she told us what happened... We understand why now.

Captain IF: At any rate, I'm just glad to see some others besides what's been going on.

Iris looked around at the others in trying to look for Jasper.

Iris: (F/n), Emma...? Where's Jasper...?

(F/n) and Emma looked at Iris, but weren't informed not to tell Iris what happened.

(F/n): M-Mrs. (L/n)...? You... You don't know...?

Iris: Don't know...? Don't know about what...??

(F/n) and Emma looked at each other and then looked back at Iris with sad looks.

Emma: Iris... Jasper is...

Emma couldn't finish those words she was about to finish. But Iris was able to pick up on what Emma was trying to say and broke down into a river of tears and fell to her knees.

Iris: JAAAAASPERRRRRRRR!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!

As Iris said those words, her voice rang out in the park and Purple Heart could hear Iris' pain. Iris covered her eyes and began to cry with (F/n) and Emma to try and calm her down. But calming her down was out of the question now. With the death of her husband being known to her now, Iris got up and began to march towards where the CPUs and Mira was to go fight Dionix. IF quickly gets in front of where Iris is, while holding Abby, to try and stop her.

Captain IF: Iris, you can't go!

Iris: You just watch me IF!

Captain IF: No! You can't do this!

Iris: That bastard took someone I loved away from my family! I'm not about to lose my son as well!!

Captain IF: And what about Abby?! YOU CAN'T JUST GO!

Iris: I DON'T HAVE ANY CHOICE!!

As the two argued, little Abby began to cry and hold onto IF tightly by her coat or shirt. Iris looked at Abby and began to softly pet her head, placing her lips on Abby's head to try and calm her down.

Iris: Abby... I need you to be a good girl right now... Please, stay here with Aunt Iffy until I bring your brother back...

Abby: No! Mommy! Don't go!

Iris: I promise I'll be back baby... I promise...

Iris was almost running tears at this point as she broke away and begin to run to where Johnathan had taken her son. Shadow barks and begins to run in catching up to her and caught her attention. But her decision was still the same as she kept running.

Iris: (First they take my husband's life... Now they wish to hurt my son...!? That's it! I'm pissed! I'm absolutely pissed now!!)

Going to where Grif and Simmons were, Grif was still holding Johnathan while Simmons almost had D. Guardian freed.

Simmons: Almost... There...!

Before Simmons could get D. Guardian freed, a punch sends him flying past Johnathan and Grif, making Grif lose his focus.

Grif: Simmons!

Johnathan: Get off of me, you damn idiot!

Johnathan grabs Grif and swings him around once to toss him over to where Simmons is. The CPUs and Mira had just arrived and saw D. Guardian was wrapped to a tree by Johnathan's chains. Standing next to D. Guardian, was Dionix as he leaned against the tree.

Dionix: Hmph... Guess we'll need to hurry this along after all... Johnathan...

Johnathan: Ugh... Fine. I'll buy you time. But don't expect me to hold them off for long.

Dionix: You will hold them as long as it takes. Now... Let's begin the process, shall we, (Y/n)?

Going in front of D. Guardian, Dionix raises his hands with D. Guardian looking at him. When Dionix places his hands on D. Guardian's head, D. Guardian began to feel a surge of energy course through his body and begins to yell in pain. A light begins to form as it envelops Dionix and D. Guardian. Purple Heart tries to fly in, but Johnathan grabs her by her leg and throws her back towards the group.

Johnathan: Want to save your precious boyfriend? You're gonna have to get through me first.

With no time to waste the five begins to rush in with Johnathan creating chain to use them as whips. Swinging them around, it deterred the CPUs and Mira from trying to get past him.

White Heart (Blanc): Damn this asshole...!

Black Heart (Noire): Get out of our way!

Johnathan: Not gonna happen ladies. You're welcome to even try, but that won't happen.

Each CPU and Mira try to get past Johnathan on each attempt, but Johnathan either wraps a chain around either their arms or legs and pulls them away with each attempt they tried. Yelling could still be heard coming from D. Guardian as it worried the CPUs and Mira still. Purple Heart tries zooming left and right, soon jumping over Johnathan, but gets her leg grabbed by his chains.

Johnathan: Not happening toots.

Johnathan began to spin Purple Heart around and then tossed her back towards where her team is. She gets up slowly as the light that showed where D. Guardian was at still showed itself with his yelling.

Green Heart (Vert): Ugh... What is with these hacks Johnathan is using? How can just one man be keeping us back??

White Heart (Blanc): If this keeps up, I'm literally gonna smash his face in with my fist!

Mirasashiro: Focus! We need to get past him right now! Every minute we waste is a step closer to losing (Y/n)! Now, I have an idea. Purple Heart, this is where you come in.

The others began to listen as they huddled together to talk up a plan. Johnathan was still in a stance to be prepared for any trick they had in store. The group separates and begins their plan by sending Black Heart and Green Heart first with Grif and Simmons giving covering fire. The two each sends attack at Johnathan up close, but is able to dodge each one cleanly. With Mira, Purple Heart and White Heart stay with him to execute their other plan.

Mirasashiro: You ready?

Purple Heart (Neptune): Of course!

White Heart (Blanc): It's now or never!

White Heart begins to soar into the sky with Purple Heart jumping up to have her sword into a guard. With Mira extending his blade out, he swings it to have it connect with hers to send Purple Heart soaring upward. Johnathan sees this and begins to wonder why Mira swung his blade against Purple Heart's weapon. When looking up higher, he saw White Heart was ready to swing her weapon as it connects to Purple Heart's weapon also. With the force of the hit, it sends Purple Heart into a dive that keeps increasing her speed by the second. Johnathan tries to intercept Purple Heart, but Black Heart gets in his way from getting close to her.

Black Heart (Noire): Nice try on keeping us stalled, but with you being the only one holding the line, it's pretty much useless once we come up with a plan.

Johnathan looked over to where Dionix is and calls out to him.

Johnathan: Dionix! You're time is up! Purple Heart is heading your way!

With Purple Heart flying in very fast, she flipped through the air and kicks Dionix in the head very hard to knock him away from D. Guardian. After landing on her feet, Purple Heart cuts the chains that bounded D. Guardian to the tree, but feel forward into Purple Heart's arms unconsciously.

Purple Heart (Neptune): (Y/n)!

Black Heart holds Johnathan down at blade point to keep him from moving. Purple Heart still tries to shake D. Guardian awake, until she begins to see his eyes flutter open.

D. Guardian: Ugh... Mmm...

Purple Heart (Neptune): (Y/n)...

D. Guardian (Y/n): W-What...? What did you say...?

Purple Heart (Neptune): I said your name, it's (Y/n).

D. Guardian looks at her and then to his hand. He stares at it while Purple Heart looks towards where Dionix's body is.

Purple Heart (Neptune): It would seem I knocked out Dionix by surprise. But I'm glad I was able to make it here on time.

D. Guardian clutched his hand into a fist and smirked.

D. Guardian (Y/n): Yes... Yes you did... But guess what.

Purple Heart looked back and gets grabbed by D. Guardian by the throat, standing up to hold her up in the air. D. Guardian then throws Purple Heart as hard as he can to hit her into Black Heart. When seeing Purple Heart get thrown like that, everyone nearby looked over to D. Guardian who walked up to Johnathan and began to help him up. This throws the others for a loop with what they see.

Green Heart (Vert): (Y-Y/n)?! What are you doing?!

D. Guardian raised his arms out to his sides in a way he didn't understand. But when he answered it was that of not being serious.

D. Guardian (Y/n)?: What does it look like?

White Heart (Blanc): You know what we mean! Why did you help Johnathan up (Y/n)?!

D. Guardian looks over at Johnathan and began to laugh while holding a hand to his head.

D. Guardian (Y/n)?: Well... You're not asking the right question right now...

D. Guardian looks down and then looks back at the others, glowing bright red eyes and a sadistic smile.

D. Guardian (Y/n)?: What you need to ask is... "What" happened.

Mira tries to think on what happened, but looks at Dionix's body that laid on the ground still and came to a horrifying thought.

Mirasashiro: No...

D. Guardian (Y/n)?: Hmm? You say something, Mira? I don't think I heard you.

D. Guardian channeled energy to his palm and fired a shot towards the group, forcing Mira to raise his shield. When he lowers it, Mira points to D. Guardian.

Mirasashiro: You...! You're not (Y/n)!

Black Heart (Noire): Mira?! What are you talking about?! That's-

D. Guardian (Y/n)?: Very quick on the notice of things... But the CPUs? I almost expected more...

The CPUs looked at D. Guardian who had his arms crossed now and were trying to connect the pieces together, but come to a horrifying conclusion.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Dionix...!?

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): And the first prize goes too... YOU!!

Dionix drew Guardian's sword out and sent an Energy Slash towards the group that was almost invisable. They move out of the way quickly as it cuts a tree in half from the speed and power it held. In an instant, Dionix was behind Green Heart and kicks her from behind to send her into White Heart.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Yes! YES!! I've never felt such power in my life!! This is the power I have been searching for!! Ha ha! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This power makes me feel so ecstatic, I could almost sing!!

The heroes look at Dionix with Black Heart glaring at her enemy the most with what he has done to (Y/n).

Black Heart (Noire): Y-You monster...!

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Monster? No, I am the Devil himself!!

Crouching down low, Dionix pushed off from the ground and appeared right in front of Black Heart with an arm pulled back. Black Heart was caught off guard and punched directly in the stomach to be launched a few yards away.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Noire- Augh!!

With following up on his next attack, Dionix had kicked Purple Heart into the air. Purple Heart kept flying up as a shadow casted upon her. The source of it was Dionix being in front of her. Purple Heart's eyes grew wide with how fast he caught up with her.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): How does it feel to be beaten down by an opponent you can't keep up with?! But at the same time, you can't even fight back against me in having to see someone you "love" dishing out the pain!

Laughing hysterically, Dionix began to throw multiple punches at Purple Heart and throws one more that sends her into a downward spiral. Seeing her fall, Mira began to rush and jumps, turning in midair to catch Purple Heart to go into a slide on his back. When seeing Dionix dive down with his blade extended, Mira gets up and jumps out of the way, but not before getting hit by a wave from the impact Dionix caused. The ground shook in the park as Iris fell to the ground from getting caught off guard.

Iris: (W-What was THAT?! That tremor just came up all of a sudden and now it's gone! What in the world is happening?!)

With Mira and Purple Heart, they get up from the ground slowly and watch as their allies were separated from them in different places. Dionix kept being amazed with what he can do in a short time. When he tried to continue his assault, Dionix gets a step in before falling down with an electrical current coursing through (Y/n)'s body. Green Heart, who was currently closer to Dionix's real body, saw it twitch with the same electrical flow before it died out. Dionix groaned and felt tensed for a moment before gaining free control.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): W-What is this...? Why did I feel that kind of shock just now...?

Hearing a voice in his head it was one that was familiar with him all the same.

(Y/n) (In Dionix's head): Stop... Hurting... My friends... Shalla...

Dionix went wide eyed as an apparition could be seen slightly. The thing Dionix sees, is (Y/n) who stands a few feet from him. Given his position, (Y/n) stood in between him and where the CPUs are. After a minute, (Y/n) disappears again.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): (That brat! I have control of his body and his thoughts are mine! So why does he still persist to get in my way!? If he's still here... Then the process wasn't complete yet!)

Dionix turns towards Johnathan and sees that Green Heart was near his body. In a flash, he appears behind Green Heart and grabs her by the hair to throw her away from his body.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Johnathan! You let them disrupt the process! My soul didn't get transfered all the way! (L/n) still tries to fight even though I have control!

Johnathan: So what??

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): It matters because I'm still linked to my body! If I die or lose my current connection to this miserable oafs body, our work to kill this brat off will have been for nothing!!

Johnathan: Jesus... Why can't this job be any easier...

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): It isn't! Now, keep my body safe! I'll be handling these pests until they submit or die by my hand.

Hearing Dionix say that, the group besides Johnathan become more relieved that (Y/n) hasn't died yet in some way, but is still in danger still. This gives them courage to each get back up on their feet. When meeting up with each other, White Heart pulls out a Healing Rain that heals everyone in a short radius of half of their strength.

Simmons: Well, we seem to have found a flaw in his plans...

Grif: But now what?

Purple Heart (Neptune): So... We just have to find a way to cut the connection-

Black Heart (Noire): -or defeat our enemy by killing his original body...

White Heart (Blanc): Augh... What a pain in the ass this is...

Green Heart (Vert): But it can't be helped in the slightest...

Purple Heart gripped her hand into a fist and looked at her blade. They see Dionix walking towards them while Johnathan stands guard near Dionix's body. With how powerful Dionix is at the moment, none of the CPUs current strength is enough to match his power in some way, except for one way.

Purple Heart (Neptune): If only I could get another Share Crystal... If I did...

Green Heart (Vert): We know... But we can't because our key item is still in (Y/n)'s inventory.

Mira catches this and looks at them.

Mirasashiro: What do you mean?

The CPUs look at Mira and begin to explain to him.

Black Heart (Noire): Before (Y/n) ever met us, we had one other form we could use in dire times of need. We call them: The Next Form.

Mirasashiro: What?? Then why didn't-

Purple Heart (Neptune): (Y/n) wouldn't have been able to help power us up like that... We need an actual Share Crystal that contains actual faith in it...

White Heart (Blanc): Only problem is, (Y/n) had the only black box that could ever do that and is still in his inventory...!

Hearing this, Mira remembers picking up a black box earlier and begins to get it back out.

Mirasashiro: Wait! You mean this?!

Mira pulls out the box the CPUs were talking about and become very surprised by seeing it.

Black Heart (Noire): That's the one!!

Purple Heart (Neptune): Mira?! How-?!

Mirasashiro: It fell right next to me all of a sudden, I think Shalla knocked it out of his hands when he pulled it out!

Hearing this, Purple Heart jumps up and hugs Mira.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Mira! You have no idea how much of a help you are right now!

Getting down and hurrying on taking the box, Purple Heart faces towards the other CPUs.

Purple Heart (Neptune): I'm going to need time on getting this thing to work! Can you distract Dionix while I go to try and get this box to work??

Black Heart (Noire): If it means defeating Dionix and freeing (Y/n), of course I will!

White Heart (Blanc): I still have a few PERSONAL beefs with this ass anyway.

Green Heart (Vert): Jasper's death was caused by Dionix... He's gone too far in hurting this family... I won't forgive him.

Mirasashiro: Then let me lend my own abilities to the mix. You'll need all the help you can get!

Purple Heart nods her head and begins to lift up from the ground into a hover.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Thank you! Please, all four of you, stay alive until I get back!

Black Heart (Noire): Then what are you doing?! Get going!

Simmons: We'll stay here as back up to provide some help!

Grif: Just go lady!

Dionix watches as Purple Heart begins to fly away and was about to give chase, but is stopped when surrounded by Mira's drones.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Hey, where is she going? Is she running away like a coward?

Black Heart (Noire): Don't you talk about Neptune like that... You miserable trash.

Black Heart gets into a stance in being ready to fight with the others being prepared also.

Black Heart (Noire): We WILL make you pay for what you've done here tonight, Dionix...

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Then you will die trying.

With the battle and stakes rising, the CPUs and Mira charge in towards Dionix, while they buy Purple Heart time. Flying away from the battle, Purple Heart looks at the box and notices someone was heading towards her. Who she sees is Iris and followed by her is Shadow, making her stop flying to have them approach her.

Iris: Neptune!

Purple Heart (Neptune): Iris?! Why-

Iris: Don't you "why" me. You lied to me about Jasper's condition.

Purple Heart flinched when hearing that and lands down on her feet.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Iris... I didn't want to lie to you...

Iris: So why then??

Purple Heart (Neptune): Because I didn't want all of you to worry or do anything reckless until everything settles down after the fight. What do you think Abby would be doing if she finds out right away that her Father has died...?

Iris looked away to not meet Purple Heart's gaze and sighed.

Iris: Fine. I understand that... But where is Dionix...?

Purple Heart (Neptune): Iris, I think I know what you're planning to do, but I can't with what's happening. I need to get this box open.

Purple Heart shows Iris the box and remembers the details that were explained when talking about the box.

Iris: Is this the Share Crystal Generator (Y/n) made??

Purple Heart (Neptune): Yes. But I need time to figure out how to open it.

Iris: Then go, I'll join the others and-

Purple Heart (Neptune): Iris, you can't!

Iris: I'm going and that's that!

Iris wasa about to leave when Purple Heart turns to face towards her way.

Purple Heart (Neptune): I wouldn't have to be resorting to this if I didn't need to! Dionix took over (Y/n)'s body!

Iris stopped walking and slowly turned towards where Purple Heart is and begins to stomp towards where she is to punch her in the face.

Iris: What do you mean he took over my son's body?! WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY SON?!

Purple Heart began to explain all that's happened and it puts Iris in a position to be even more angrier.

Iris: How could you let this happen?!

Purple Heart (Neptune): We are trying our best! We didn't know Dionix's goal was to fuse his and (Y/n)'s soul together!

Iris: That's it, out of my way!

Purple Heart (Neptune): Iris, just listen to me!

Iris: MY SON NEEDS ME!!

Purple Heart (Neptune): You'll only make it worse if Dionix kills you with (Y/n)'s body! (Y/n) is still conscious in there! *Shows Iris the box again* This box I have is the only way I can help (Y/n) and I need it's power!

Iris stopped and looked at Purple Heart. She glared at Purple Heart with being up most serious right now.

Iris: Will it really help my son...? Will it help him if you access it...?

Purple Heart (Neptune): Iris, if you think I'm lying, go ahead and punch me. I want to save (Y/n) as much as you do...!

Iris looked at Purple Heart and lifts her head up, groaning at the time being wasted.

Iris: Fine! But after you transform and everything, I'm still going with you!

Purple Heart (Neptune): If it means getting some help... I'll gladly accept it.

Iris and Purple Heart go to a tree to begin examining it in order to unlock how to activate the device. With (F/n)'s group, (F/n) begins to get restless with all the waiting and gets up. Following where Iris began to run in, (F/n) begins heading in that direction.

Emma: (F/n)?? Where are you going??

(F/n): I'm tired of waiting here Emma! They need our help, (Y/N) needs our help!

Captain IF: No kid! I refuse to-

(F/n): I've been (Y/n)'s friend FAR longer than you knew him lady!

This shuts IF up as the Takasus and their friends looked at (F/n).

(F/n): (Y/n) has never given a single thought about what happens to him when he helps others and gets hurt because of it. He has NEVER asked for anything in return when helping others out of his own kindness! (Y/n) has been there for ALL of us in making sure we were happy and didn't have to go through troubling times of either grief and sadness! I WILL NOT JUST STAND BY HERE ANYMORE, WHILE (Y/N) IS IN DANGER!!

Hearing (F/n)'s words, those that have been help by (Y/n) remember all his kindness to have helped them when he didn't have to. Because of his kindness, it has brought people together in knowing him for who he was. Taking (F/n)'s words to heart, Emma stands up and walks up next to (F/n).

Emma: I'm going too... (Y/n)'s the one that brought me and (F/n) closer to each other when he disappeared for three months... He's done EVERYTHING for us in wanting to keep our lives as happy as we can be... It's time I helped return it back in full.

Ryuuji closed his eyes and stood up while holding Sophie in his arms and was followed by Taiga to stand with (F/n) and Emma.

Ryuuji: I could never repay (Y/n)'s kindness from when he saved Sophie from that fire. If I can return it by helping him in some way, I'll do it.

Taiga didn't need to say anything as her reasoning was also the same as Ryuuji's. Minori stood up, along with Ami and Yusaku to join them. IF was all by herself while holding Abby and looked at the group.

(F/n): You can either come with us or not, Mrs. IF... But we're going. You can't stop us from making our own decisions.

(F/n)'s group was about to walk away until IF broke and gave in.

Captain IF: I can't believe I'm doing this... Iris is gonna kill me...! Wait!

(F/n)'s group stopped and looked at her.

Captain IF: Abby and I will come too...

(F/n): Heh, knew you would see it my way.

Captain IF: You're not off the hook yet. I'm going to tell Iris after this that this was your idea.

(F/n): And I don't have anything to lose, except Emma and (Y/n).

Captain IF: Pretty confident there.

(F/n): Like I said, I don't care if Iris gets mad, I'm going to help (Y/n).

Everyone nods their head and begins running in an attempt to regroup with the others. Fifteen minutes pass as we head back to the fight, Grif is sent into a tree and hangs upside down while Simmons pulls on his arm.

Grif: Get me down Simmons!

Simmons: What do you think I'm doing?! Doing this for fun?! Shut up!

The next instance, Mira crashes into the tree from being thrown by Dionix. The CPUs fly around and go in whenever a chance opens up, but when they think they can get a hit in, Dionix is able to dodge the attack. Dionix grabs Black Heart's leg and swung her around to then slam her into the ground. Dionix kicks Black Heart to send her into Green Heart to knock her out of the air.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): This is too easy. All your movements are so cleanly visible to me.

Feeling a presence behind him, Dionix looks back to see White Heart was ready to slam her axe into him as he raised his blade to block. The attack causes a shockwave of air that launches the snow around them away. White Heart was trying to push down on Dionix, but he wouldn't budge from how much force was used.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): So, how does it feel to be weak in the face of danger? No matter how much power you currently have, I will still out power you right now.

White Heart (Blanc): Then quit talking out your ass and fight, you bastard!

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Does any sentence you make not involve with swearing...?

White Heart (Blanc): Shut up!

White Heart separates from her enemy and makes swings left and right at Dionix, but they hit nothing but air with each attempt. As White Heart swings her weapon, she thinks to her self on where Purple Heart went.

White Heart (Blanc): (Neptune! Figure that box out and help us save (Y/n) already! What is taking so long?!)

With Purple Heart and Iris, they look at the box while Neptune looks it over in trying to get it to open. Iris was on lookout on making sure the enemy doesn't arrive while they try to activate the box.

Iris: Figure anything out on that thing yet Neptune?

Purple Heart (Neptune): I'm trying. I have no idea how (Y/n) activated this the first time... The only time was three months ago when he went 4V1 against me and the others when we were affected by the mist... I can barely remember that (Y/n) pushed a button... But where do I find it??

Purple Heart looks at the device and pictures (Y/n)'s smiling face as she grew determined to continue finding a way to activate the box.

Iris: What's so important you need to open that box? You're already transformed.

Purple Heart (Neptune): I may be transformed already, but I still have one more form I can access. But I need the Share Crystals that this thing can make.

Iris looks at Purple Heart confused as this interested her.

Iris: One more form?

Purple Heart (Neptune): The form I talk about, are the Next Forms. They let us surpass our normal parameters in being able to do more than what we can already do. Because of this, we became much stronger than before. But my form is the most special of them all.

Iris: Why's that?

Purple Heart (Neptune): My form allows me to concentrate Share Energy into a single slice. With it, if I can hit (Y/n)'s body being controlled by Dionix, I can free (Y/n) from his control.

Iris looked at Purple Heart with hopeful eyes, but Purple Heart grew serious again.

Purple Heart (Neptune): But in order to land the hit, I need to absolutely be sure I can land the hit. If I swing and miss... I won't be able to do it again.

Iris: One shot... One chance...

Purple Heart (Neptune): Even after I transform, I'll have to trap him in a way to keep him still long enough... But that won't be easy...

Iris looked at Purple Heart and the box that held their one chance. Iris closed her eyes and gripped her hand into a fist. When she opens her eyes, she looks towards Purple Heart.

Iris: You won't miss. I know you won't. When you see it, you'll land it for sure.

Purple Heart looked a Iris as she turned away and gripped her sword's handle.

Iris: (I will save my son... I can't just let him die again... I won't let it happen.)

At the battle, White Heart goes into a slide backwards as Dionix clashes weapons with White Heart. The weapons creates sparks from metal grinding against each other. Mira runs up from behind Dionix and has a blade ready to stab at him from behind. Dionix hears Mira's footsteps and kicks White Heart away to bring his sword behind him to block Mira's strike.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Come now, Mira. Did you think that would work?

Mirasashiro: Maybe not... But maybe this will!

Mira pushes a button and twenty drones materialize in midair.

Mirasahiro: Twenty Drones Assault!

The drones lock on to Dionix and see him separate from Mira. The drones fly after Dionix and begin to fire upon him left and right. Sheathing his blade, Dionix quickly draws it to send a few slashes at the drones and cuts up to five of them. Dionix blocks the shots the drones fire at him while Black Heart and Green Heart approach from both sides of him. Dionix notices them and glares.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): When will you learn... It's useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless! Useless!

Dionix jumped just before Green and Black Heart could stab him with their weapons and see Dionix go high into the sky.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): When comparing a monkey's strength to a lion's, you are all merely monkeys to my unlimited power!!

Black Heart and Green Heart looked at each other and sighed.

Green Heart (Vert): If that isn't a JoJo reference, I don't know what is...

Black Heart (Noire): Wouldn't it be a Dio reference actually?

Green Heart (Vert): What's the difference?

Dionix slashes each drone he passes by in half until there was no drones left. Black Heart and Green Heart fly up towards Dionix and engage in a skirmish. Dionix blocks and dodges each slice or thrust made towards him as he laughed at their futile attempts.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Are you even trying to land a clean hit on me?? As far as I can see, you all are just annoying bugs. A mosquito trying to annoy a human.

Black Heart (Noire): (Damn...! This cocky bastard...!)

Green Heart (Vert): (If we weren't trying to keep his attention off of Neptune, we wouldn't be wasting our time...!)

Green Heart looks to her right with her eyes only as Dionix caught onto this.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Hey, why are you losing focus on me?

Green Heart twitched slightly and brought her focus back to Dionix.

Green Heart (Vert): Nothing. Just trying to come to terms that Neptune won't ever come back to help us.

Dionix looked at her and then dodged one more time from Black and Green Heart to slam them to the ground. In the air, Dionix looked towards where Purple Heart flew off at and began to think.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): (Abandoning a person and her allies in their time of need...? No... There's something more to this. Something I'm not realizing. But why would-)

Dionix thinks about before Purple Heart left that she hugged Mira for some reason and held something new in her hand. Upon thinking about it harder, it was that of the black box (Y/n) had tried to use earlier.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): That bitch! She has the box! Johnathan!

Johnathan looks up at Dionix from below while guarding Dionix's real body.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Pick up my body right now and bring it with us! We're going to chase down the one that ran away! They are only trying to stall us for time!!

Johnathan: Jeez. This is such a pain. Fine.

Johnathan went to go pick Dionix's body up, but doesn't realize White Heart was closing in behind him.

White Heart (Blanc): Pay attention, you asshole!!

When bringing her axe down, Dionix appears suddenly in front of her and catches the axe by its staff.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Close... But not close enough!

Dionix pulls White Heart closer and delivers an energy punch to her stomach to launch her away and go flying into her allies. The group lies on the ground stunned for a moment and begin to see Dionix and Johnathan leaving them in search for Purple Heart.

Black Heart (Noire): Damn...! (Neptune! We've bought you all the free time you can! Now you're on a clock until they find you!)

Black Heart takes to the skies and chases after Dionix and Johnathan to stall for more time until Purple Heart can be found. With Purple Heart and Iris, the two had switched places in trying what they can to activate the box in a way. But so far, still haven't found a way. Approaching the two, Iris sees (F/n) and the others heading their way.

(F/n): Mrs. (L/n)!

Iris: (F/n)? Emma? Why are all of you here?!

Emma: We're not sitting out of this. (Y/n) is our friend too!

Ryuuji: This world needs more people like (Y/n). Not people who will take others for granted.

Minori: Right! He helped me when I was in danger, but I want to help too!

Ami and Yusaku nodded their heads in agreeing with them even though Yusaku didn't know what the hell was going on. Iris felt warm that (Y/n) had made so many friends that want to help him in his time of need.

Captain IF: Even though I was against this... I knew they were right. And beside... If I wasn't here to help out, I be letting this family down.

Abby: I want my Onii-chan back...!

Iris: Thank you... I can't thank you enough...

Their time in talking was cut short when they heard a crashing sound, and see Black Heart sliding on her back towards the group. Purple Heart looked at her ally and quickly began to think.

Purple Heart (Neptune): (If Noire is here...! Oh no...!)

Landing on the ground next to Black Heart, were White and Green Heart, while Mira sets Grif and Simmons down to have them run to the group. Landing a few yards away, Dionix and Johnathan are seen with Dionix glaring at Purple Heart.

(F/n): (Y-Y/n)?! What-

Mirasashiro: That isn't (Y/n)! Dionix is currently controlling him through a link!

(F/n) and Emma pale at hearing that as Dionix chuckled and points to Purple Heart.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Out of all the possibilities, I didn't think you could upset me the most. Especially one who is going to try and activate that box...!

Purple Heart (Neptune): Shoot...!

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): I will only ask you one time... If you hand me over the box, you may leave to savor your life.

Purple Heart glares at Dionix and shakes her head.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Hand you the box over for that? No. Your silver tongue won't trick me like that. As soon as you have it, you'll still try to kill me like the rest.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Can't say I couldn't try. But you're definitely right. In fact, it'll be more fun to take it from your dead corpse.

Black Heart gets up onto her feet, panting from how long the battle has been going.

Black Heart (Noire): Neptune...! We're only going to buy you a little more time...! GET! THAT! BOX! OPEN!

Purple Heart (Neptune): I'm trying my hardest, but okay!

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): I told you! I won't let you open that damn box!!

Dionix charges forward with the CPUs charging towards Dionix also. In Dionix's rage, they were able to grapple him easily in slowing his movements, but not enough as Dionix kept moving towards Purple Heart. Purple Heart is doing all that she can to try and open the box as Iris quickly heads out and assists the CPUs in holding Dionix back.

Green Heart (Vert): Iris! Get away right now!

Iris: No! Everything is riding on Neptune using a Share Crystal! I am willing to die if it helps bring my son back to his senses! And before you say about my actions, I have already decided to stay and help make this right! I am STILL his mother!

Green Heart held her tongue back from speaking anymore and looked to where Purple Heart was. Purple Heart seemed to be trying anything she can to find out how to activate the box as Dionix aimed his palm towards her. Mira quickly gets in front of Purple Heart and raises a shield and blocks a ball of energy meant to hit Purple Heart. Sophie and Abby cry in fear while IF and Ryuuji try to calm them down. Dionix gets even more pissed as he explodes with energy.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY ANTS LIKE YOU! GET OFF!!

The blast sends Iris and the CPUs near him in different directions. With being freed to attack again, Dionix zooms towards where Purple Heart is and crashes into Mira's energy shield.

Mirasashiro: NEPTUNE! PLEASE! OPEN THE BOX!!

Grif: Oh god! We're gonna die!

Simmons: I don't want to die!

Captain IF: Will you two shut up! You're not helping here!

Purple Heart looks around as time slowed down. Those around her were losing their cool as some held onto each other for support and looked to where her friends and Iris was. Her eyes goes to the back of Mira who is currently holding Dionix back, absorbing each blow Dionix made into the shield. Purple Heart's eyes look back towards the box that was their last hope, but couldn't figure out how to open it... She brings it close to her and begins to cry.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Please... I, no, WE need a miracle... (Y/n) needs our help... I don't want to lose him like this... He's someone I love dearly and I can't bear it in a world where (Y/n) is imprisoned in his own body while he has to watch everyone he knows and loves die in front of him... Please... I know I'm making a useless attempt to get this activated... But I REALLY need a miracle...

As Purple Heart cried, a tear drops onto the box and splashes lightly on top of it. By some miracle itself, something clicks and a red button pops out on top of the box. When Purple Heart sees this, she immediately presses it, making light come from the box itself. Iris gets up onto one knee and looks to see a bright light trying to shine through.

Iris: Come on Neptune...

Dionix look behind Mira to see a light shining from the box and begins to punch the shield harder, the shield Mira uses begins to crack from each punch.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Damn you all to high hell! WHY?! Why do you fight?! Why go so far when you know everything is lost?!

Purple Heart (Neptune): Because everything isn't lost... Not while there is still a chance to turn things around. We all know that, including (Y/n).

Dionix became more furious and charges a punch one last time and breaks Mira's shield, just as the box opened up to give Purple Heart a Share Crystal. Dionix lunged to quickly close in on Purple Heart, but it was too late, as Purple Heart had used the Share Crystal as intended. Purple Heart began to get an increase of power as a virtual board appears in front of her and places the crystal onto it. The blinding light that was created lit up the night sky and pushed anyone nearby away from the center of where Purple Heart was. When it dies down, everyone, except for the other CPUs, saw what Purple Heart transformed into. Purple Heart had gained a new body suit with new equipment attached to her body with her hair being a lighter shade of purple and more loose from before. She had gained gauntlets and boots to match with her new look along a big piece of equipment on her back. In her eyes, she still held her power symbol eyes, but had gained a slash through one of them into a plus form. The biggest change, was the longsword she now wields in her hands. But she was not Purple Heart now, she is now Next Purple.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): W-What is that form?! There are no records or reports of what I see before me!

(F/n): N-Neptune?!

Emma: Is that you?!

Next Purple looks behind her and smiles at her friends while giving a nod. Next Purple felt a presence behind her and swings her blade to block Dionix's attack, causing him to slide backwards from the counter hit. Dionix became even more surprise because of her power as it was very close to his own power at the moment.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): That's not possible! I got pushed back!?

Next Purple shook her head and glared at Dionix.

Next Purple (Neptune): It is possible, Dionix. The power you gained was through your own evil intentions to kill someone I love and destroy everything I hold dear... The form you see me use right now, is my Next Form. And you have no chances of winning. Because after all you've done tonight... I'm pissed...

Next Purple begins surging with energy as the snow gets blown away from the boosters on her back. Dionix looks at this and begins to smile.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): I have a better idea...! Now that I have a way to TRULY test my new strength, I'll fight you in a battle for (Y/n)!! Try all you want "Goddess!" But you will NEVER win!!

Next Purple glares at Dionix and soon gets into a stance while pointing her blade at him.

Next Purple (Neptune): My name... is Neptune. The people of my land know me as Purple Heart when I defend them... Now return (Y/n) to all of us or pay the price!!

Dionix and Next Purple stare each other down, before the ground caves away at their pressure of advancing forward. Their weapons clash against each other and sends out waves of wind in every direction. Hitting the ground in a force the causes the ground to break on impact. Mira sees this and calls out to Iris and the CPUs.

Mirasashiro: Seek cover! Their battle is reaching to dangerous heights to be even near them right now!

Mira heads over to (F/n)'s group and raises a new shield just as a blast of wind impacts against it. Taking his advice, Green Heart picks Iris up and flies with White and Black Heart to a safer distance. Iris looks back to where Dionix and Next Purple is and glares.

Iris: (Not yet... I can't leave here yet...)

Looking around, Green Heart and herself were about to pass by a rock that looked big enough to take cover behind.

Iris: (This is not over... Not while I have a say in this here...)

Dionix and Next Purple separate with Dionix closing the visor to be more combat ready. Next Purple points her blade at DIonix and glare at him.

Next Purple (Neptune): (Lets try something...) You know, if you want this to be a FAIR duel between us, I suggest you stop cheating and use your real body.

Dionix picked this up and began to speak.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Ha. Get real Neppy. In a real fight, it takes skill and- H-Huh?! W-WHAT?! What am I saying!?

Next Purple smiles to herself with hearing those words.

Next Purple (Neptune): ((Y/n) is still in there... Thank the Goddesses that it triggered something deep within (Y/n)... But that response happened for three seconds at best. I must try and free (Y/n) as soon as I get my chance.)

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): I don't know what the hell that was all about woman, but it won't matter! I will end you in this fight!

Next Purple (Neptune): We will see...

The two stare each other down, as Next Purple takes the first move. She dashes forward to bring her longsword to her side. Dionix readies his blade to block when she swings, but that isn't what she planned. Stabbing her blade into the ground, she positions herself in the air to activate her boosters. Using her speed, she spins one around and kicks Dionix in the head. Dionix went into a spiral and recovers midair to begin sliding backwards. Next Purple doesn't let up and continues her chase on Dionix. When approaching him again, she begins to swing her sword in different ways, forcing Dionix to stay on guard most of the time. The CPUs landed down to a safe distance with Iris to watch the fight.

Iris: Do you think she has a chance?

Black Heart (Noire): She's only got one shot to pull this off. With having used a Crystal, there is only one left in that box...

Green Heart (Vert): Not to mention how dire our situation is right now.

White Heart (Blanc): If she wants any chance of saving (Y/n), she needs to make this count and quick too...

Iris looked at White Heart with a raised eyebrow.

Iris: Why do you say that? Doesn't she have time?

Black Heart looked at Iris and shook her head.

Black Heart (Noire): No, the Next Forms are for emergencies only... Our regular HDD forms are our first and only option, until we need the Next Forms.

White Heart (Blanc): We only go Next Form if we really need the power. But it drains our energy fast in exchange to gaining a big boost...

Iris went wide eyed at hearing this and looked at Next Purple. Next Purple dodges some attacks Dionix makes and readies her blade, counterattacking Dionix with her speed and power. Dionix was sent flying as he aimed his palm at Next Purple to fire some shots. Some of the shots either miss Next Purple or hit her dead on while she guarded.

Iris: If you know this, then why did we-?!

Black Heart (Noire): Getting in the way of two strong opponents would be bad. Not to mention that Neptune would have a hard time if she was protecting us as well.

Iris looked back at the fight and gripped her hand into a fist. Next Purple had taken a left swing from Dionix's fist, but returned it by kicking him in the chin to send Dionix up into the air. Next Purple launched into the air and began exchanging sword blows with Dionix. Each block and attack made created shockwaves in the air. With the thought of this being the only chance they would have in saving her son, frightened her on what could happen if they failed.

Iris: (If this is our ONLY chance of saving my son... I won't leave it up to chance to find a way...!)

While the CPUs were distracted on watching Next Purple in the air, Iris began to slip away from the three and head towards the rock she and Green Heart passed by from before slowly and carefully. Dionix was able to do a feint attack and then axe kick Next Purple to fall down to Earth. The crash kick up the dirt and snow around the area to where Next Purple got back up to her feet quickly. Dionix lands in a crouched position and chuckles.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): You know, I never knew such power like the... What was it? "Next Form" you called it? Could ever be able to keep up with me. But even then, it isn't enough still. I mean, look at you.

Dionix stood back up and pointed at Next Purple. He could see some sweat beginning to roll down her face.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): How long will you be able to keep that form up? I doubt for long considering this world isn't giving any way to keep that form of yours stable.

Next Purple grit her teeth at hearing that and knew Dionix was right. It would only be for some time before she loses her power and reverts back to normal. She would want to end it as soon as she could, but with Dionix able to move around freely, it makes it hard to initiate her plan that she wants to commit to. The CPUs kept looking at the fight between Dionix and Next Purple, until White Heart noticed Iris was gone.

White Heart (Blanc): H-Hey! Where did Iris go?!

Green Heart (Vert): Um... I found her, but you won't like it...

Black Heart (Noire): In what way?

Green Heart (Vert): Being near the fight worried kind of way...

They then spotted Iris as she hid behind a rock to be up close to the fight, while Black Heart held her hands to her head.

Black Heart (Noire): What is with (Y/n)'s family being reckless like this?!

Green Heart (Vert): Must be in the genes...

At the fight, Dionix made a side swipe and did a spin kick to send Next Purple crashing into a tree. Next Purple was about to get up, when Dionix had her at the tip of his sword to her neck.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): As much as I would love to keep this going... It is pointless at this point. Goodbye, Goddess scum!

Dionix lifted his blade and begins to swing down, when a blade gets pushed away by another. The sword stabs itself into the tree next to Next Purple. Dionix and Next Purple look to see to their shock, was Iris, who had a serious look at the moment.

Next Purple (Neptune): Iris?! What are you doing?!

Iris: What does it look like? I'm not letting him kill anyone else... Not while I have a say about it...

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): (T-This bitch?! Ugh...!) Woman, get out of my way!

Iris: If you want to kill Neptune so badly, you have to fight me first. One on one...

Dionix looks at Iris and begins to laugh at her thinking.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): You? A mere human trying to defy me?? You must be insane to want and face me so bad.

Iris: I have my reasons... But what about you? You going to let my interference slide so easily? A mere HUMAN who pushed your sword out of the way? I had the balls to come challenge you, but you don't seem to have any at all. All you're doing, is borrowing my son's!

This seemed to tick Dionix off well enough that he lifted Iris up and tossed her towards the field. He pulls the blade out from being next to his enemy and points it to Iris.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Lady... You should have just waited for your turn.

Iris gets up and stares at Dionix with a glare. Iris readies her sword to be ready and fight.

Iris: And sit back while you have my son's body?? I don't think so. But I must ask this question...

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): That being?

Iris: If you disguised yourself to get into my house... Why didn't you kill me the last time you did this...?

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Are you going senile old lady?? I have NEVER met you until now! God... You must be as dumb as your son...

This confused Iris as to why Dionix answered this, but remembers when she was at the shack and when she had a talk with (Y/n) one time.

(Flashback) (Y/n): Never give up on me... No matter what you do...

When Iris thinks about it, she smiles to herself.

Iris: (So... That's what this was all about...? I see. Now I understand...)

Iris gets into a comfortable stance and grips her sword with both hands. Confidence radiated off of her.

Iris: You won't win this fight Dionix... Not while my son needs my help. You've taken my husband... I won't let you take my son...

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Then die and you can meet your husband in death!!

Dionix dashed forward with Iris reacting on instinct to dodge. She raised her blade to block a strike and then lean backwards to avoid a horizontal slash. The slash grazes her shirt just slightly and cuts into her skin. Dionix makes fast thrusts with his sword as Iris wanted to try and dodge each thrust made, but couldn't with how fast he was as the blade cuts into her skin each time. Next Purple was about to get up when Iris glared at her while shaking her head.

Iris: (Not yet... Got to keep waiting...!)

Iris saw the next thrust coming, while raising her blade to block the strike. Iris lets the blade slide off to the side while taking Dionix's arm and kicks behind his leg to knock him down to one knee, but soon gets an uppercut to the chin.

Iris: Ugh...!

Iris was about to fall backwards, until Dionix grabbed her collar to keep her standing.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): You woman...! How dare you make a fool of me like that?! Making me get down to one knee!

Iris: *chuckles and spits some blood out* I just fight harder, and smarter is all... Taught everything my son I knew how to fight...

Dionix pushed Iris away as she stumbled backwards to stay standing.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): I grow very annoyed by this now...! You're "son" this, you're "son" that! If you wish to die first, then so be it! Die!

Iris: Dionix!!

Iris got her sword ready as Dionix charged in towards her. Next Purple was about to get up and hurry to her side, but it was too late... Iris, had been impaled by Dionix's sword in the stomach.

Next Purple (Neptune): IRIS!!!

The world grew silent as Iris tried to yell in pain. Some blood could be tasted in her mouth from the attack she felt while feeling a liquid seeping onto her shirt's front and back. Iris knew she had been stabbed through her body and would need medical attention very quickly. Dionix was about to pull the sword out of Iris, until her hand gripped his shoulder.

Iris (Wounded): Dionix... You... You won't win... My SON... Won't allow it...

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Too bad... Sorry to say this, but it's over...

Dionix pulled the sword out of Iris, making the stab wound she took begin to bleed out. Iris had dropped her sword to the ground and felt her stomach and saw her blood. With thinking Iris would fall onto her back soon, Dionix then turned towards where Next Purple was.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): Now with her out of my way... You're next, bitch.

Everyone looked at Iris in horror of the damage she had taken, but were surprised with what happened next. Just as Dionix was walking towards Next Purple, Dionix gets grabbed from behind as someone held him tight in a grip under his arms.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): WHAT?! WHO-?!

Iris (Wounded): Before you say anything else...your next words are: "How are you still standing?!"

Dionix became shocked to hear Iris behind him and be the one to hold him in a lock.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): How are you still standing?! *gasps*

Iris (Wounded): I told you... I won't let you have your way...! Not while my son still needs me.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): But you should be dead! How are-?!

Iris (Wounded): Clearly someone forgot to do some homework about the human psyche... I may be HUMAN, but a person who is in a dangerous situation has a grace period to do something impossible... And you want to know something... I'm READY, to die for someone I want to protect with all my heart...!

Iris looked at Next Purple in the eyes to give her a nod. With knowing what Iris wanted her to do, Next Purple got up and had her longsword ready.

Next Purple (Neptune): Vert, Blanc, Noire! Start giving me all the power you still have! Everyone else, pray! Pray to help bring (Y/n) back! Hurry!

Knowing their chance had come, the CPUs began to focus their energy to Next Purple to while Iris looked at (F/n) and the others. Dionix was trying to struggle out o her grip as the pain was making Iris lose less focus with each movement.

Iris (Wounded): Do as she says! I'm not doing this out of fun! Don't worry about me for now...!

With listening to Iris, (F/n) and the others began on thinking their thoughts on wanting to help free (Y/n).

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): You bitch! Let me go!!

Iris (Wounded): Listen here... You bastard...!

Iris focused and held Dionix tighter to keep him still more and gripped his head.

Iris (Wounded): There is nothing... I would do to do what's right...! I was ready to die for my son when I heard Neptune say she had only one shot at this...! I'm getting my son back, no matter what happens to me...!! NEPTUNE!!

Dionix looks over to where Next Purple is and sees the sword she wields radiating with Share Energy. With the CPUs focusing much of their energy to Next Purple, they instantly revert back to normal with giving their power to Next Purple. Feeling tremendous energy course through her, Next Purple brings her sword to her side.

Next Purple (Neptune): Dionix!! Let (Y/n) go! GIVE HIM BACK TO US!!

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): N-NO!

Next Purple ignited the booster on her back and instantly dashed forward. With her closing the distance quickly, Next Purple charges her slash and brings it down to send a wave of Share Energy at Dionix. Dionix kept trying to escape to no avail, until the blast of energy hits him directly. Deep within (Y/n)'s soul, darkness had him in chains and was about to engulf him, until a bright light shot down into him and made his body glow, to repel any darkness around him. Outside, Dionix began to thrash wildly and was able to throw Iris off of him. Dionix held his head and body with feeling a burning sensation in him.

Dionix ((Y/n)'s body): No! This is my right! I earned this! No! Nononononononono!!! RRRRRRAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

In the next moment, a blinding dome of light erupted from (Y/n)'s body and engulfed Dionix in. Next Purple began to feel weak as she fell to her knees and reverted back to being Neptune. Getting back up to her feet, she held the Share Crystal Generator in her hand and threw it as hard as she could into the dome of light.

Neptune: (Y/N)! WE NEED YOU!!

Dionix yelled and woke up back in his own body and surprised Johnathan as a result. Dionix looked at himself to see he wasn't in (Y/n)'s body anymore.

Dionix: No! My power! My strength...! Augh...!

Dionix looked at his crystal to see that it had been reimbued with some Share Energy from being connected with (Y/n) and yelled out in rage. The crystal he had began to regain all the negative energy it held and looked at Neptune.

Dionix: YOU BITCH!! YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!

Neptune chuckled lightly and began to crawl backwards slowly in a nervous way as Johnathan and Dionix bagan to walk towards her.

Neptune: Oh man...

Dionix rises up and begins to walk with Johnathan over to Neptune as the camera focuses on the dome of light. Inside it, (Y/n) lied on the ground and began to open his eyes. He groaned in pain and held his head.

(Y/n): God damn... What the hell -?

When taking in where he was, he was confused to where he was, until Ivory echoed around him.

Ivory: (Y/n), I don't have time to talk about this, but you let your emotions get the best of you and allowed Shalla take over your body...

(Y/n): What?! Is he still-?!

Ivory: No... Neptune and the others worked a huge miracle to get you freed... But the cost... Your mother is also hurt... (Y/n), Neptune is in danger right now. With Shalla out of your body, he's bound to go after her in ruining his chances to be rid of you!

Hearing this, (Y/n) grew serious in hearing someone he loves was in danger.

(Y/n): Then let's stop talking and do something! Where's the exit?!

Ivory: Not yet... First, a confession...

(Y/n) tilted his head and kept listening to Ivory.

Ivory: Your "Guardian" form, wasn't meant to be just used to increase your abilities and combat powers... At least, that's not how I had planned it with Shalla at first... (Y/n). Your form wasn't developed enough from the lack of bonds you had when you faced Shalla for the first time. The reason you were able to transform, was because I gave you the power to do so because you needed even ground.

(Y/n): Ivory??

Ivory: Back when the Deity of Sin was still fighting Uranus, I didn't truly die... I had placed my spirit in Shalla's crystal...

This shocked (Y/n) to beyond belief with what he heard, but it wasn't over yet.

Ivory: I had hoped... That after Shalla moved on, he would try and create new bonds with whoever either succeeded me, or someone else in Gamindustri... But that didn't happen. His new powers came from me by accident, but got corrupted because of his negative emotions. That's why you see his armor as it is... The only reason I'm here with you, is because when the Oracle placed your soul in the crystal you have now, I was pulled along for the ride.

(Y/n): Then what about me?

Ivory: You only focused on the energy you could control and changed your physical appearance to gain some powers for a limited time... But at the cost, by hurting yourself in the end after you transformed back each time... Because of that, it's the reasons why you have those negative effects.

(Y/n): Jeez, doesn't that suck...

Ivory: But... You've changed once again, (Y/n). This time, for the better.

This caught (Y/n)'s attention as a box came flying in and hit his head.

(Y/n): Ow jeez! The back of my head!! Oh, what the hell hit-?!

(Y/n) notices his black box and picks it up.

(Y/n): Hey, this is my Share Crystal Generator. Where did this come from?

Ivory: That's the thing... Neptune used it to help transform further into a new form. Just like how Blanc did back in Gamindustri. And from her power, it helped finally awaken what I wanted Shalla to have all this time... (Y/n)... The Guardian form you can now take, is able to be augmented. With it, some aspects of your abilities will become stronger with new armor to go with the personality.

(Y/n) was gonna question Ivory what she meant and began to see his Guardian form and Purple Heart standing next to each other. This caught (Y/n) off guard and saw them begin to walk away, but not before the two images began to come together in a bright light. When they disappear, the red button on the box revealed itself to (Y/n) in needing to push the button.

(Y/n): I don't know what's going on... But I don't have time to question this... The others need me right now!

(Y/n) pushed the button and began to create the last crystal the box can create. Outside the dome Neptune was tossed through the air to be smacked down to the ground with no chance to be assisted. The only thing Noire, Blanc and Vert can only do, is watch as Neptune was beaten around senselessly as they made their way to Iris. They could see that she was bleeding out on the ground but silently watched the fight that went on. They reached Iris and began to carry her to safety as the three kept their eyes on the fight in case they begin to get attacked.

Noire: Damn it...! Neptune's getting thrashed out there by those two!

Vert: If we still had some power left, we could be able to help, but we can't...

Blanc: Augh...! Damn it! (Y/n)! Where the hell are you?!

As if on cue, the dome of light changed color to that of purple and began to release winds around the area. The CPUs noticed this and saw the dome had changed color.

Noire: W-What?!

Vert: The dome! It changed colors!

Blanc: What the hell is going on in there?!

Johnathan was about to take another strike at Neptune, when he saw the dome.

Johnathan: Hey! We need to do something! (L/n) is about to do something and I don't like it!

Dionix: Don't you tell me what to do! I have it handled!!

Dionix blasts Neptune with a few shot of energy and sends her sliding across the snow. Dionix and Johnathan began to charge energy to their palm and combined their energies together. In the purple dome, a dark silhouette could be seen in the middle of it and glared towards where Johnathan and Dionix were.

Dionix: DIE, CPU OF PLANEPTUNE!!

Dionix and Johnathan fired the shot as it closed in on Neptune.

Noire: NEPTUNE!!!

Neptune crossed her arms in front of her on the ground to prepare herself for the hit, as the area near her explodes from the blast.

Noire: NO!!

Dionix and Johnathan laugh at getting something at least tonight, but when the smoke clears, a figure could be seen trying to guard where Neptune was. Acting as a shield to protect her.

Dionix: What?!

Dionix looked towards where the dome of light would be, but sees it has dispersed already. When looking back, the smoke was kicked up and shows Neptune and whoever protected her was gone in an instant. In a blur, the CPUs hear a sound behind them and see Neptune was sitting on the ground behind them with the snow kicked up. They were surprised she was okay.

Noire: N-Neptune?!

Neptune: H-Huh?

Neptune looked around and saw she had been moved instead of being hit by the shot.

Neptune: How did I get here so quickly?? Did you save me girls??

Vert: No, we didn't! We don't know how you got here from being near Dionix and Johnathan!

Neptune: Then... If it wasn't you three... Then...?

Before Neptune could say anything else, a small vortex of wind began to spin as it had appeared near where Dionix and Johnathan were.

Johnathan: W-What the hell is this?!

Dionix: How should I know?!

???: You're going to pay, Shalla.

Hearing his name being said, Dionix fires at the vortex as his energy gets redirected to hit the ground instead. But Dionix knew whose voice it belonged to and growled in anger.

Dionix: (L/N)! Get out of that vortex! How dare you call me by my name!!

(Y/n)?: But first, YOU'RE going to listen to me... You took my father's life, attack my friends, and USE ME to hurt those I know and love...! But your worst crime... was when you also attacked my mother...!

The wind picked up even more as (Y/n)'s figure could be seen glaring at Dionix. Both him and Johnathan could see purple energy radiating off into the air.

(Y/n)?: You've gone too far this time...! This fight ends, tonight!

https://youtu.be/ih2UvFXWGdc

(Y/n)'s figure crossed his arms and brings them out as the wind gets pushed away with his yell. Everyone that begins to see (Y/n) is very surprised from how he looks. He was transformed, but not in his usual Guardian form. This form was different though. His hair had turned purple with a longer length to it, and with a different set of armor equipped colored purple and with his visor closed. Dionix and Johnathan took a step back in how different (Y/n) had become in a short time after being freed from Dionix's control.

Dionix: W-What is this?!

(Y/n)?: Don't get me wrong, Shalla... I'm still me, but I'm more than that now... I am the being, that brings hope to those that are weak. Bringing justice to those that wish to do others harm. Protecting life, so that they might never have to witness the pain you made me go through...

(Y/n) crossed his arms in front of him as his right fist began to glow with the power symbol on the top, while his left fist began to react as well. What appears on the left fist, is the symbol of Planeptune. The visor (Y/n) is using separates to reveal his eyes had turned blue with the power symbol in them as well. (Y/n) separates his arms apart and releases a strong current of wind and glares at Dionix and Johnathan.

Purple Guardian (Y/n): I am the being made out of Planeptune's Share Energy, Purple Guardian!!

The wind dies down while Purple Guardian glared at his enemies.

Purple Guardian (Y/n): And the one who'll judge you here tonight, will be me!

Purple Guardian crouched low and called out a skill by instinct alone.

Purple Guardian (Y/n): Shadow Step.

Launching from where he was, Purple Guardian dashed forward to disappear in a flash. Dionix gets launched into the sky and gets sent flying in many directions before being slammed down to the ground with Purple Guardian reappearing next to him. Purple Guardian turns his way towards Johnathan, frightening him with the look he gave. Johnathan wanted to run at getting focused when Dionix gets up to punch Purple Guardian in the face. But the punch did little to affect him, making Dionix step backwards in shock. Purple Guardian points to Dionix with a glare.

Purple Guardian (Y/n): Your next words are: "Where are you getting all this power?!"

Dionix: W-Where are you getting all this power?! Gah...?! First your mother, now you?! Stop that!!

Purple Guardian (Y/n): Make me, if you can that is.

Dionix growled being put into a position like this as Johnathan back away a few feet with Purple Guardian looking at him now.

Purple Guardian (Y/n): Don't even try... You won't escape from me unless I want you to, Johnathan...

Johnathan doesn't listen and activates his boosters to take flight and ascend upward to get away.

Purple Guardian (Y/n): I said you won't escape from me... Flight mode: Activate.

The gear on Purple Guardian's back begins to shift and form into wings that radiate purple energy. His visor closes up and begins to fly up into the sky at an alarming rate. Before Johnathan knew it, Purple Guardian appears in front of him with his arms crossed. Johnathan stops his ascent and begins to dive down with Purple Guardian giving chase. Johnathan flies down close to the ground and begins to fly quickly with Purple Guardian still on his heels. They begin maneuvering through the trees in the area as Purple Guardian boosts to come from Johnathan's side and kick him out of the trees and into a slide on the ground near Dionix. Purple Guardian soon lands on the ground and deactivates flight mode to keep his opponents on sight.

Neptune: Whoa! Look at that! He's gone all... What's the term...? Super CPU or something?

Noire: That's not a real thing Neptune! Stop making things up!

Vert: Well it does kinda fit depending his hair changed and all that...

Johnathan gets up and glares at Purple Guardian while drawing his sword out. Purple Guardian glared back and got into a stance, summoning out a new blade and sheathe for his form.

Purple Guardian (Y/n): Don't even try it Johnathan... It's over. It's time you paid the price for hurting my family.

Johnathan: NO ONE TELLS ME WHEN IT'S OVER!! ESPECIALLY NOT YOU!!

Dionix: Johnathan! Do not engage! He's changed on a whole different level!

Johnathan: Don't you order me around!! I'm doing this whether or not you order me not to!!

Johnathan sliced the air to send a slash of energy at Purple Guardian, who dodges the strike. Energy begins to charge up in Purple Guardian's weapon while he dodged. Each strike Johnathan misses, Purple Guardian charges up his attack, gaining more energy by the second.

Johnathan: Stay still! Stay still and DIE already!!

Johnathan began to charge tons of energy into his blade and was about to slash at Purple Guardian, until he feels a chill go down his spine. He could see tons of energy erupting from Purple Guardian with what he says next.

Purple Guardian (Y/n): No... The one who will be going down, will be you, Johnathan...

Purple Guardian vanishes quickly, making Johnathan lose sight of him, until he hears a voice behind him in a form of a whisper.

Purple Guardian (Y/n): Shadow Slice.

Johnathan turns around, only to begin yelling in pain. Johnathan gets pushed back by the force of Purple Guardian's quick draw, but at the same time, begins to bleed out. Reason being, Purple Guardian had cut Johnathan's left arm off in one slice. Johnathan cried out in pain and held where his arm used to be. Purple Guardian had a few splatters of blood on him from cutting into Johnathan and approached to look at his enemy. Johnathan squirmed and yelled from the pain while blood was gushing out onto the snow. Seeing the blood reminded him of his father and mother when they got hurt tonight from Dionix and Johnathan's attack. Purple Guardian raised his blade and wanted to stab Johnathan right through the head right now, but the thoughts of committing it were hard. Everyone Purple Guardian knew was watching him making it hard to do it right then and there. After a few moments to think he stabbed the ground and picked Johnathan up to toss him at Dionix. Dionix looked at Johnathan and then at his enemy who could only glare at them.

Purple Guardian (Y/n): Take him, and get him some help while you can. If you don't, he will die from his mistakes.

Dionix looked at Purple Guardian, but could see that he was still mad. Making him wonder why he didn't kill Johnathan right now, most importantly Dionix himself.

Purple Guardian (Y/n): Don't get the wrong idea... The fight just now... Was pathetic for both of you... Killing you two off with how easy it'll be, will leave a sour taste in my mouth. Both of you used a lot of energy and time just to kill and fight those I love. So here's what you're going to do right now... Run. Run away, and live to fight another day... But know this... I stop fighting tonight, because enough blood has been spilt enough as it is... And with my sister being nearby...

Purple Guardian looked at his little sister, Abby, who was crying her eyes out, not wanting to see anymore of what's happening.

Purple Guardian (Y/n): I don't want her to see me doing this... Not in front of her... But from here on out... You AND Johnathan will be defeated by me, and ME only. Do you understand? Shalla.

Feeling frightened by the events that unfolded, Dionix opened a portal and disappeared through it with Johnathan in toll. With the fight being done and over with, Purple Guardian glowed in a purple light and reverted back to normal. (Y/n) fell to his hands and knees in the snow and hits his fist against it. He was thrown in for a loop as to why he had let Dionix go after all that's happened tonight as it made him mad.

(Y/n): Damn it...! Damn it, damn it, damn it...!!!

Before (Y/n) knew it, he felt four people begin to hug him as it was the CPUs that hugged him. With the situation of needing to be serious drastically falling in the area, (Y/n) could feel the worries the CPUs had when being hugged and returned the feelings. Tears began to fall from all that's happened as no words needed to be said. They all didn't need words to communicate from what they had experienced and witnessed in one night. Looking over to where his mother is, (Y/n) slowly got out of the CPUs hold and went over to where she was at. Iris' breathing was labored, meaning she lost a lot of blood from the stab wound she had received. (Y/n) got down on his knees and held his mother's hand. Feeling someone grabbed her hand, Iris faced towards (Y/n).

Iris (Wounded): (Y-Y/n)...? Is that... you...?

(Y/n) began to cry as he place his mother's hand on his cheek to allow her to feel his scars.

(Y/n): Yes mom... It's me... I'm here...

Iris smiled at seeing her son was once again able to talk to her, but she coughed as blood came out of her mouth. This made (Y/n) worry as he looked at the CPUs but shook their heads.

Vert: During our fighting, many of our supplies on recovering had been used... There's nothing we can do...

(Y/n) froze up in fear, but felt his mother caress his cheek.

Iris (Wounded): Son... Do not...worry for my sake... This was...my choice in doing this... I'm the one at fault here...

(Y/n): No... S-Stop talking like that mom... Y-You're gonna be just fine...!

Iris shook her head and looked at her son.

Iris (Wounded): Son... Please... Don't deny what's happening... I know...the choices I've made... I could have left everything to chance...but I could tell something needed to be done... And I knew... I couldn't give up on you...no matter what happens...

Iris could see the pink bow that was in her hair on the ground beside her. With a last thought coming to her head, she looked at her son.

Iris (Wounded): Son... C-Can you get...my sword...?

(Y/n) looked to where her sword was last seen and goes to retrieve it. Iris then reached to pull her hair closer to her and remove the bow she used to keep her hair tied up. Each braid that had been done with her hair began to unravel. Returning with her blade, (Y/n) crouched down next to his mother.

Iris (Wounded): Son... Could-Could you take the sheathe off of me as well...?

(Y/n) nodded his head softly and did as he was told. The others watched him and thought of how badly (Y/n) must be feeling seeing his mother hurt like this. After removing the sheathe from his mother, (Y/n) sheathes his mother's blade and saw his mother reach for it and proceeds to put the bow she had around it. Once she had secured the bow onto the sheathe, (Y/n) looked at her in question why she did that. Iris had tears in her eyes, from not just the pain, but sadness of what's going to happen.

Iris (Wounded): My son... You and Abby, mean so much to me... You have...no idea, how much... When I see you... Fighting to protect those you love... You've matured, so fast in needing to do what's right...

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

Iris (Wounded): You're not the shy and weak willed son I used to know... You decided your own destiny to one day head back to Gamindustri when you find a way... But seeing you do what you love to do... Is all I ever want to see you enjoy your life to the fullest...

Iris took a deep breath, but kept her control on what she wants to say.

Iris (Wounded): My son... The sword I have held within our family for years... There is, one more gift at our house, located in my closet... Merry Christmas, son...

(Y/n) went wide eyed at this and held his mother's hand.

(Y/n): Mother...! What are you saying...!? This is your sword...! Not mine...!

Iris shook her head and looked into her son's eyes, and could see tears were beginning to form in them.

Iris (Wounded): (Y/n)... I choose to do this, because you're my son... Now, can I see you smile...? I... I want to see your smile...

(Y/n) was beginning to shake from hearing all of this, but fought back to close his eyes and give the warm smile he usually gives. Iris sees this and thinks one last time to herself.

Iris (Wounded): (My son... If there is anything more precious than I want to protect in the world from every being destroyed... It's your kindness and that warm smile you give to those you love... But even if I pass from this world... My sword... Will always protect you...)

(Y/n): I-I'm s-smiling mom... a-are y-you happy...? M-Mom...?

When (Y/n) opens his eyes, Iris' head laid on its left side. A small smile could be seen on Iris' face, her eyes closed as she passed away with no regrets. Dread filled (Y/n) body as he shook his mother slightly in wanting to wake her back up.

(Y/n): M-Mother...? C-Come on... Y-You can't fall asleep here... C-Come on... Wake up... M-Mother...? M-Mother...!?

With being unable to wake his mother up, (Y/n) and everyone else realized, Iris, had died. (Y/n) began to shake and with being unable to hold his tears back, (Y/n) looks up to the sky as his tears fell and yelled. His cries echoed through the park as the group grieved for the two children that lost their parents in one night.

(Y/n): MOTHER!! DON'T GO!! PLEASE!!

(Y/n) continued crying as Mira watched him with the others. The ground cracks and breaks from the pain (Y/n) felt as energy erupted from (Y/n)'s body.

Mirasashiro: (The pain of loss... The one other thing the Clan never wished to experience... From my time with Shalla and Ivory, I had learned that the reason why some of the children raised there, were taught to never get attached to those they meet... They feared of being to close to people they cared about, that they trained their emotions to never get attached. But (Y/n), you never went through the mental training and cold harsh training Shalla and his friend, Aiden, went through... All the emotions you feel right now... Let them out... Don't ever bottle it up like how that Clan did...)

Thirty minutes passed as (Y/n) had let out all his pain. (Y/n) could feel a presence and looked to his right and saw Ivory putting a finger to her lips to keep (Y/n) quiet.

Ivory: (Y/n)... It's time we returned to Hyper dimension... The impending war that I had feared is coming... And we need to prepare... When you're ready, I'll tell you how we can get back to Hyper dimension.

(Insert Pray by Haruka Chisuga)

(Y/n) nodded his head and gets up to summon his board and sent his mother's sword into his inventory. The others looked at him as (Y/n) turned to the group.

(Y/n): I'll be right back... I have... a few loose ends to clean up... Please... go find my father... Once I return... we're finishing the fight it all began at... Hyper dimension...

Neptune: (Y-Y/n)! Wait!

Not taking in Neptune's words, (Y/n) jumps on the hover board and takes off in a direction, making the others worry.

Captain IF: HEY! Where are you-?!

Vert: IF... I don't think we need to worry... I think I know where he's heading...

Noire: I believe so too... Myself, Neptune, Blanc and Vert will go after (Y/n)... Please, stay here until we bring him back.

With hearing that, the CPUs began to go and head towards where they think (Y/n) will go. In the sky, tears could be seen flying off of his face.

Final Chapter. End.
