Chapter 31: Freedom
A/N: BACK TO BACK LET'S GOOOOOOO
Narrator POV
A lot of feeling was rushing through Y/N's mind right now
Confusion, on why is that person looking exactly like him?
Nervousness, on why he looked so confident
But mostly...
Dread, because that person that looked exactly like him, was overwhelming
Y/N(?): So, for there is no confusion for you....
He looked at the side, toward you
Y/N(?): Or them, I'm going to make things clear. My name is Y/N L/N, but to make the conversation easier, call me L/N
Y/N: And... what do you want, "L/N"?
L/N: Chill there buddy, we have a lot of time now. So let's take our time
Y/N: .....What are you? No matter how much Welt talked about you, you don't let out anything about being human...
L/N: Oh, but I am human. 100% by the way. It's just, that compared to others, I have reached a state only a few could
Y/N: And what are you supposed to be then?
L/N: An Outer God. But don't worry about it so far, you'll get your answers soon. Anywho! You had a lot of memories that you don't remember, right?
Y/N: .....How do you know?
L/N: Because you're based on me, dumbass. All those memories are mine, but not like it'll affect yours anyway
Y/N: What are you talking about?! Stop turning around and answer clearly!
L/N: You are, but a fake
Y/N: ....Huh?
L/N: Your homeland and planet that got destroyed? Made up memories. Your past before reaching that Space station? Fake too. Your intelligence, strengh, speed and sassiness? Fake. They're all but a pale copy of me
Y/N: W-What are you talking about?
L/N: You were created based on me, but you barely have any of my ability. Hell, your grasp on energy is so shitty, even that girl Stelle have a better hold than you
Y/N: Don't bring her in that!
L/N: A failure, a copy, that's all you are. And you said to Kiana you will be better than me? Please
Y/N: S-Shut up....!
He was breathing heavily, his eyes full of fear, as he stepped back from the man, shakily
L/N: But I guess you're still young, so I don't blame you for not being that strong
Y/N: Shut up-!
He was cut off by something grabbing the back of his collar, as they were away from the bar, now standing on top of a building of the Dreamflux reef
L/N: Here, you can yell all you want. Don't want to be bothered in the middle of our talk
Y/N was tossed to the ground, as the man sat on the edge of the roof, looking at him
L/N: You have a million questions, so ask away
Y/N: You said my past was fake, but how do you know?! How can you be so sure?!
L/N: Because I was the one who created you. I was messing around, wanting to make a clone of me, that could have the same power than me, but instead got.... that
Y/N: So, my family, the destruction of my planet, and everything else, is fake?!
L/N: Totally. No real backstory, no real childhood. Just, a failed clone. Your connection with Aeons? Fake. The only reason why Nanook wanted you as his champion, was to reach me. Nothing. Else.
Y/N: Shut up shut up shut up shut up!
He was holding his head, breathing heavily, tears forming in his eyes
L/N: I could just kill you right here and now, but I guess our guest wouldn't like it
Turning to the side, he saw Welt, landing on the roof, looking nervous
Welt: So I was right... You were aiming at him since the beggining
L/N: Yep! Been a while, Mister Welt! As lively as ever, it seems
Welt: The same can be said for you... Where have you been all this time?
L/N: Ah-Ah! That's my secret, so no telling!
Welt walked to Y/N, helping him up, as he could see how shaken he was
Welt: I don't know what you want with him, but Y/N, don't do this. You were the first one to challenge even the strongests in the universe to save everyone
L/N: People change, Mr.Welt, and so do I. But since of our old friendship and everything we went through, I leave him alone for some time
Welt: Thank you....
L/N: Oh, and one last thing!
Y/N: W-Wha-
He couldn't finish his sentence, as a hand pierced his chest
His and Welt's eyes widened, as the man smirked
L/N: If you're truly Y/N L/N, you don't need anyone's help
Brutally, he took off his hand, as he stated the next words, that would be engraved in his soul forever
L/N: To become someone, free yourself from the past you. Until then, don't disappoint me
And after hearing those words, Y/N blacked out
Timeskip
Y/N opened his eyes, looking around, and see he was in his room in the Express
He sat up, rubbing his head, confused, not remembering what happened before
But soon, it hit him
The conversation, the revelation, and the fact, he was stabbed in the chest
He started to breath heavily, his eyes widening more and more, as he held his chest
The bandage around his chest spoke by themselves, as tears formed in his eyes
The door of his room slammed open, as people hurried inside
Stelle: Y/N!
Dan Heng: Y/N, hold it together!
March: What is happening to him?!
Dan Heng: He's having a panic attack!
Himeko: Pom-Pom, some water!
Pom-Pom: O-On it!
Y/N: W-Welt.... What that guy said... it's false.... right?
They stopped, as he looked up to the older man, his eyes pleading
Y/N: I-I'm not a fake, right?! I'm my own person, and everything I lived is true, right?!
Welt: .....
Y/N: P-Please...
Welt: I don't know if what he said is true or not, I'm sorry...
Y/N: ....I-I see....
Stelle: Y/N....
Y/N: I...I just need some rest....I'll be fine.....
Slowly, and recluantly, everyone leaved the room, except Stelle
Stelle: ...
Y/N: Stelle.... I'll be fine, don't worry
Stelle: I'm staying with you
Y/N: I'll be-
Stelle: No, you're not. You're as lost as I was back in Penacony, when Acheron told me you died. You are not fine
Y/N: ....
Stelle: Mister Welt told us about what happened. About the other "Y/N L/N". And I don't care about him
Y/N: But... he's better than me.... he's something I could never be....
Stelle: Y/N, look at me
He looked at her, as she cupped his cheek, smiling gently
Stelle: You are the one that took care of me all this time, not him. You're the one I fell in love with, not him. I don't care if you're not really Y/N L/N for others.....
She rested her forehead against his, as she smiled
Stelle: You're my Y/N L/N
Y/N: ....I really don't deserve you...
Stelle: Nonsense. You're the only one that deserve me
They chuckled, before looking at each other eyes, smiling
They were about to inch closer, before they heard a fake cough
Looking at the door, they saw Pom-Pom, holding a cup of water
Pom-Pom: Your cup of water, Y/N
Y/N: Ah.... thank you, Pom-Pom....
He took the cup, as Pom-Pom stood there
Pom-Pom: Y/N, I don't know what is going on through you head right now, but as the driver of the Express, I have seen many Nameless. You are the closest one to Akivili, in my eyes
And so, he left, as Y/N and Stelle were left alone
Stelle: By the way, during your sleep, we are making a detour to the Luofu to make sure you're ok. Dan Heng managed to get your a visit with Bailu quickly
Y/N: I see... Just, I don't think I'll be able to fight or anything... My connection to every path was cut, and I can barely move....
Stelle: It's ok, we're here to protect you, until you're back to shape. Anyway!
She got below the cover, cuddling to him
Stelle: We have some time to catch up together
Y/N: ....Cheeky, aren't you
Stelle: Of course I am
And so, an unexpected trip to the Luofu is about to happen
Chapter 31: Finished
A/N: Before anyone ask, allow me to explain
After rereading the story MANY times(around 10 times), I absolutely HATED the turn it took
I felt like I lost the essence of the story, and went too far into my own thing, which made lost interest to a lot of people
That is why, I decided to reset everything with this chapter. This chapter is important, of course, but it's more of a reset to this story
We're going back to the core of this story, which is a fun story, without much(or any) angst, that is here to take away the stress of the day
So, sorry if this story was shitty during Penacony, I'll do my best to recover from it, and make peak later on
Anyway! In the next chapter! Back to the Luofu!
See ya all in the next chapter!
