Chapter 14: Finale...
I waited for the CPU Candidates. But it didn't take long because of the Share explosion. In fact, I'm pretty sure they're beyond ready.
Kei: Ready?
The team consists of me, Grandvill, Nepgear, Uni, Rom and Ram. We headed to the teleportation room to Celestia. I just wonder if Celestia is Heaven in this world. Well, it won't be if Mebius is there. The teleportation room is small so we just squeezed inside. Mainly because Grandvill's armour is the size of the room itself.
Nepgear: Ugh... It's cramped in here...
Uni: Should we... ugh... really have brought this tin can... with us..?
Y/N: J-Just endure... it for now...
Ram: Can we get... this... over with...
Rom: I can't... breathe...
Grandvill just felt depressed. He's a strong fighter but I guess everyone comes with their negatives.
Mina: Good luck.
Kei: Come back safely.
Chika: But you must come back with my darling Vert!
I just laughed weakly at Chika's words. The room started to shine. I was ready. To fight for the peace of Gamindustri.
(Celestia)
We fell to the ground and was separated from each other. We were not too far from each other. It was because of the sudden change of space from cramp to opened. I opened my eyes to see such a dark place. The floating islands had cracks and the sky was in dark purple with a hint of red here and there. Nepgear closed her mouth with her hands when she saw this.
Uni: It's...
Rom: in ruins...
(RAWR)
Behind us was a Fenrir in a Viral state. Grandvill took out his hammer and smashed his head away from us.
Grandvill: There's still more coming! Let's reserve our energy and just head straight to the main boss!
We all nodded. The CPU's transformed as it was easier to move. They also don't have to worry about getting tired because of the excessive amount of Shares. We ran away from the monsters because we still didn't know where is Mebius' base. Suddenly, a horde of monsters appeared in front of us.
Uni(HDD): Leave them to me!
Nepgear(HDD): I'll support you Uni!
Uni(HDD): EX Multi Blaster!
Nepgear(HDD): M.P.B.L!
The two beam decimated the monsters in our path. But there was still more.
Ram(HDD): Heh! Rom and I will handle this!
Rom(HDD): Uhum.
Rom(HDD) & Ram(HDD): Ice Coffin!
A gigantic ice formed in the sky. Rom and Ram targeted it to hit the monsters in front. The ice meteor just destroyed them and a bit of the path. The monsters were gone temporarily and we used the time to find our bearings.
Uni(HDD): That was too easy.
Nepgear(HDD): Maybe it's because of the Shares.
Y/N: You girls did great but don't get it into your head.
Ram(HDD): You didn't do anything!
Y/N: I did! I ran.
We laughed for a bit. Nepgear's right. We should always be positive. I wish I can share this moment with Noire.
Grandvill: I think I know where Mebius is.
Ram(HDD): Well then, spill it out!
Grandvill: If we can find the dense part of Celestia there's where we'll find him.
Nepgear(HDD): Where is it?
Grandvill: The center of Celestia. But there's a whole army of monsters there. Even if they are weak, their numbers will overwhelm us.
Y/N: So what's the plan?
Grandvill: You guys go ahead and confront Mebius. I'll distract the monsters.
Y/N: Are you joking? You alone? That's suicide!
Grandvill: But it's the only choice we have. We can't waste our time any longer.
I clenched my fist hard. I know Grandvill is strong but as he said, their numbers will overwhelm him.
Uni(HDD): We should go now. The monsters are respawning.
She said whilst pointing to a monster which just appeared. I don't like the idea Grandvill proposed but we don't have a choice.
Grandvill: We'll get there using the sky.
I knew what that meant. I got on top of Grandvill and all of us prepared ourselves. We took off and flew to the center. As we passed a few more islands, the environment worsened. I want to think Mebius is responsible for making such a beautiful place a nightmare.
Uni(HDD): Look at the amount of monsters down there.
I looked down and saw a single island had like 50 of them. Some even fell because of there being too many in one place. I looked in front and saw a bigger island with a dome-shaped building. Around the building was monsters in a Viral state. There was a lot of them.
Grandvill: I don't really like playing the hero but you can't always choose.
Y/N: Are you sure? I can at least take down half of them.
Grandvill: And by the time you did that something bad had happened. Look Y/N, just get Lady Noire for me. My daughter really looks up to her.
Y/N: I... Alright, but you better come back alive.
Grandvill: Hahahahaha! I plan on doing a lot more things before I die. Like watching my daughter grow up and duel strong opponents. I have no intention on dying.
Rom(HDD): Mr. Y/N, I'll create a magic platform so you can get on.
Y/N: Thanks Rom.
I jump onto the platform and just before I could say anything. Grandvill dived into the horde.
<crash>
Grandvill: Sorry to crash the party boys!
He started smashing the horde like they were toys. From the sky, it looked like a single guy was taking down a zombie apocalypse.
Nepgear(HDD): We shouldn't waste this chance.
We circled the dome to look for the entrance. It was hard to see up here but we found it nevertheless. The horde followed Grandvill making the entrance unguarded. We made a landing and took a deep breath.
Y/N: I'll end this. Once and for all!
I pushed the door with utter force. There we saw Mebius on a throne clapping his hands.
Mebius: Impressive. Marvelous! You never cease to amaze me Y/N L/N.
Y/N: Let's make this short. Give back our CPUs!
Mebius: You came here just for that? What about a cup of tea?
Uni(HDD): Didn't you hear him?! Give back our sisters!
Mebius: Very well. I'll give them back.
Ram(HDD): You're going to give them that easily?
Mebius: Why yes. The purpose of me abducting them is to give a purpose for Y/N to come here.
Y/N: You kidnapped them just to talk to me?! You could've just asked me!
Mebius: Would you really do it if I asked?
I just grunted. He snapped his fingers and the capsules holding the CPUs appeared.
Nepgear, Uni, Rom, Ram: Onee-chan!
Mebius: Y/N if you come with me. The CPUs will be free. I can grant all of your wishes.
Y/N: Why me? There's so many more people who deserve this but why did it have to be me?
Mebius: You're special.
Y/N: I'm just a normal human. Nothing less, nothing more.
Mebius: That's what you think but I see you as a future leader. Ever since you fell from the sky until now. You did things beyond a normal human capabilities. And for that let me reward you with what you wish for.
He snapped his finger and this time a portal appeared. But what shook me was that was the portal to...
Y/N: H-How... How could you easily make a portal to Japan?
Mebius: With the power of 4 CPU and Histoire. Anything you dream can become a reality.
The portal showed my school, home and friends. I took a step forward without even noticing.
Nepgear(HDD): Y/N.
I heard Nepgear's voice and stopped my steps. The one thing I was looking so hard for is right there. I might never get this chance again.
Mebius: Why are you hesitating? Go on. Your true reality is waiting for you.
I took another step forward, the portal being inches away. I felt the wind blowing through it. But... why am I hesitating? Isn't this what I've been looking for this whole time?
Y/N: I... I refuse your offer!
Mebius: What?
Y/N: It's such an alluring deal. You're not bad at making negotiations. But I realized I was already happy here with my friends. With Noire...
Mebius: I see... The Goddess of Lastation comes first. Do want her instead? I'll make her fall for you. I'll make her listen to your every-
Y/N: I refuse that too. I like Noire for who she is. Which is being my number 1 tsundere! Sorry but nothing you say will get through me now!
I took out Tempest and Demon and made a battle stance.
Mebius: It's a shame. Then I'll force you to join me!
He raised his gauntlet into the air.
Uni(HDD): Watch out!
He used lightning magic to strike me from that range. I dodged it with ease and returned an attack using Plasma Slash. The barrier blocked it and the paralysis effect didn't happen.
Y/N: Alright girls. Go save your sister.
Ram(HDD): What about you?
Uni(HDD): You can't possibly beat him alone!
Y/N: You girls can help once your sisters is saved. Besides we didn't come here to fight Mebius.
Uni(HDD): You better come back alive you hear me!
Y/N: Take care of Noire for me.
And with that I fused the 2 blades together and took out Demolition.
Mebius: You still think you can beat me?
Y/N: There's too much at stake if I lose. And I won't lose to you again.
Mebius: I hope you're not all talk boy!
He summoned a rain of fireballs at me. I slashed and dodged all of them. I can't lose again. I just can't. I don't want to see Noire cry. For her smile...
Y/N: I'll continue fighting!
I charged at him whilst fusing the 3rd piece. He summoned an endless amount of fireballs to strike me down. All of them failed to do so though. Once I was close enough...
Mebius: Careless.
He used his psychic abilities to push me away from him. At this rate, my body will wear out before I even do a single attack on him.
Y/N: (How do I prevent him from using his psychic ability?)
I was thinking hard while dodging the endless fire rain.
Noire's P.O.V
I got out of the capsule thanks to Uni. My body still felt weak thanks to being in a capsule powered by the anti-crystal. But that was the least of my worries. Y/N is once again fighting alone. But this time he's fighting someone more powerful than our previous enemies. He lost to him twice. I want to go help him but I'm powerless.
Uni(HDD): Onee-chan. Are you okay?
Noire: Yeah. Thanks Uni. But Y/N is...
Uni(HDD): He said to save you first.
Noire: He's doing something reckless again...
Uni(HDD): It is not Y/N if he doesn't. All we can do now is put our faith into him.
I just watch Y/N dodging the fireballs fired at him.
Noire: (You better come back baka... I need to tell you how I feel...)
3rd P.O.V
The fireball attack was relentless. Mebius did not leave a single room for you to breathe or take a rest. You kept on jumping and slashing the fireballs thrown at you. You had already fused 4 pieces.
Mebius: Is this all you've got?
Y/N: Maybe if you stop being a pussy and come at me for once!
Mebius: As a mage I'm not one to be easily agitated.
Y/N: Then I'll end it right here. Aura Blades!
The Gear Blades floated into the air and fused together with the incomplete Machina completing it. You rushed at him again attempting to slash him again.
Mebius: The same moves huh? You're making me bored!
Before he could use his psychic powers again, you ejected Demon towards Mebius. Since he's surprised, he cancelled his psychic and deployed his barrier. When Demon hitted the barrier, it was absorbed into it. He panicked for a moment leaving him open.
Y/N: Aura Blades!
Demon rose into the air and made a slash. Mebius used his gauntlet to block it. Demon made a U-turn like a boomerang. Mebius dodged it instead of blocking it. You dashed at him and slashed him. He blocked it using his gauntlet but when Demon came back to your empty hand, you used it to increase the pressure.
He jumped back knowing his hand-to-hand combat skills is not as great as yours. You used the reversal technique of Demon and what came out was a light beam shooting towards him. Unable to dodge it he blocked it again. You fused Demon and used Machina to do a few attacks. He nearly got a direct hit because the force of the attack was too great.
Mebius: Not bad...
Y/N: I'll end it right here! Transcendent Slash!
You pushed his gauntlet away and made a direct hit on his chest. Machina opened and surrounded Mebius. Once again, you glowed in a F/C aura and grabbed a sword and slashed him. You kept on doing it with increasing speed and when you reached a certain combo, the final slash made 6 afterimages each grabbing a sword. The 6 of them attacked in sync, went up and formed Machina and you appeared holding it. A crushing final blow was what you did and all the swords seperated, speared to the ground, surrounding you. Mebius fell on one knee and looked at you seemingly weak.
Mebius: Kuh..!
Y/N: You still alive?
Mebius: I won't die now...
He lifted his gauntlet and used his last resort. It was duplicating himself to thousands of him.
Y/N: Is this your last resort? How pitiful... Aura Blades! Kill everything in your sights!
The speared swords disappeared and one by one the duplicates disappeared. When all the duplicates are gone, Mebius just layed there bleeding. Your swords returned to your sheath.
Y/N: It's finally over.
Noire: Y/N...
You heard Noire's voice. You turned around with a smile. But when you saw Noire, she was bleeding. Her dress torn, her skin had cuts. She was a mess. It was not just her. The rest of your friends were also in the same state looking at you with fearful eyes.
Y/N: Wait, what... NOIRE!!!
You ran to her in the speed of light. You caught her before she fell. She looked at you scared and crying.
Noire: But why..? I thought you wanted... to protect me...
Y/N: What happened?!
But you remembered. You ordered Aura Blades to kill everyone. Which included Noire and your friends.
Uni(HDD): How could... you...
Blanc: Betrayer...
Y/N: No... No, no, no, no, no, no, NO!!!
You were losing your mind. Your heart was broken. You looked at your hands which was tainted in blood.
Noire: I trusted you... I believed in you... I loved you... but this is how... I was a fool... thinking you-
Y/N: I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to...
Noire: Goodbye... Y/N...
Y/N: <sob> Please... don't... go... I'm... <sob> sorry...
And there she took her last breath. You placed her down gently and hitted the ground till it shattered.
Y/N: Damn it... DAMN IT!!!
Everyone also died together with Noire. You killed them. With your own hands. Although not on purpose, you made the mistake...
Voice: Let the deaths embrace you, my friend...
The End: Chapter 14: Finale...
How could you?! You killed not just your lover, but your friends as well. Is this how your story will end..?
Surprise! You killed them all! Why? Next time use your weapons properly! You want another surprise? 24th of June is my birthday! SURPRISE!!! (Sorry) You don't have to pay attention to it. Just felt like saying it to most of you.
By the way have you heard of the song To You (by Marina)? If you haven't then I recommend you to go check it out. It's a beautiful song. It also works well with the final chapter.
Thank you so much for reading and bye-bye!
