Soejammy's point of view.

Dimension: ???

Location: Forest.

Time: Day

I pant softly as I could feel the cold blade of the weapon that my captor that wielded a weapon similar to Iris Heart's sword and Black Viper belonging to (Y/n). I was speechless as to who this could be as the female spoke to me. It sounded to be that of a teenagers voice from what I could hear.

???: Surprised by how I quickly took you from your friends? You should be. Without all of you realizing it, I just took the single most important person on the team. And he has no means of defending himself.

Soejammy: Grrr...! What?!

(Insert intro to here)

???: I'm saying you're weak. You wouldn't last ten minutes in a real fight. All you have is your wits and imagination, but nothing to defend yourself with.

The female in the black coat stepped back as her sword disappears instantly. She got into a stance in knowing a form of hand to hand combat. It looked like the stance she was in was practiced as it looked like a solid stance.

???: Get up.

I looked at her strangely as she began to make threats on me.

???: Get up and face me, or die and waste away into nothing. Your choice.

With being left without any chances. I got up slowly and got into my own kind of stance. My stance had my right arm as my main block if I was attacked first while my weight was shifted to my left leg. My left arm would be around my midsection as to have a counter ready if I blocked the attack correctly. It was that of a self-trained style as I had taken martial arts before. Adding and adapting what I see into my own style. A Shadow Mimicry Style as I would call it, if it were official.

???: Hmph. A typical stance. Do you plan on taking me on with a weak stance like that?

Soejammy: Why don't you see instead of judging. The most simplest of styles can counter that of the most complex.

???: We'll see about that.

https://youtu.be/9ER-7l47B-A

Growling out of annoyance, I decided to shift my stance to that of attacking as I ran towards my current enemy. I threw two punches as to start off with. But my opponent blocked them with ease with only one hand. Being fast as to react while she soon threw her own. The first punch nearly missed me while I ducked under the next attack. I suddenly get hit in the stomach as I lose my breath and cough from the impact.

???: Keep your eyes up. Never look away from your enemy.

Soejammy: Agh...! Don't tell me how to fight...!

I take a couple breaths to regain control as I approached my enemy once more. I threw a punch with my left get her focus on that, while my other hand would go for her stomach. My opponent blocked my left punch, but soon grabbed my right with her other hand. I was surprised by how fast she was as I had only blinked to see that she was already able to block my strike.

???: Your movements are so readable, you can't even touch me.

I began to grow angry with how I was being talked down upon as I was being mocked. I began to let go as I swung in a roundhouse kick to which she dodges while I make the next a sweep at her legs. The attack connects as I see her fall, but she seemed that she wanted that to happen as she used her right arm to brace herself before making a sweep attack at my legs next. I was tripped and knocked flying as I received horrible flashbacks from an accident before as I shifted my weight to land on my right side instead. I took some deep breaths as I was able to avoid what would happen to me as I looked at my enemy once more. She made a motion with her hand as a gesture to bring it. I grew only angrier by being taunted.

Soejammy: Quit messing with me!

???: How can I not? You make this too easy. It's like you are ASKING to have you ass handed to you.

I yelled as I got up to begin on delivering attacks I was accustomed to. The opponent seemed caught off by my determination as I got close to make quick strikes to attack her. Some attacks would be blocked, but I could see that some would be misjudged to make her grunt from blocking. I felt I was getting the upper hand for a moment. But before I knew it, after I blinked, I felt I was flipped by my opponent and sent flying into the rock from before. I groaned in pain as it happened so suddenly. Before I could get up once more, I felt a hand grab onto my throat and slam me into the rock. She held me with her left hand.

???: Like I said, you wouldn't be able to last ten minutes. From how I counted... Maybe 3 minutes? Possibly 4?

Soejammy: Tch...! Y-You...!

The female raised her right hand as she formed it into a fist. Putting energy into it as I could sense the power coming from it. I felt scared with the feeling of the killer intent behind my attacker. My breathing hastened as I saw her pull her arm back in preparing to attack. When she throws the punch, I closed my eyes in expecting to be killed right away. But after a few seconds of waiting, I don't feel the attack as I looked to my left to see the rock behind me, the rock broke slightly from the punch. I was deeply confused by what just happened as my enemy let go of my throat to drop me on my ass.

???: What? Surprised that I missed? Had I wanted to kill you, I would have done it with my blade to begin with.

Soejammy: Then what?? You take me from my friends, drag me deeper into the woods, make me fight you, get terrified from about to almost die, and you were just toying around with me the entire time?!

???: In a nutshell, yes.

I gave an annoyed look on my face as I did not like the cut of her jib.

Soejammy: You just annoyed me, in every way possible... I hate you...

???: You'll live. Once you realize who I am, you'll slap yourself silly.

Soejammy: Can it lady. So why the hell did you do all of this if you aren't going to kill me??

???: To judge your current skills and see how you could defend yourself. You surprised me a little on the last segment of your attempt, but it would seem you need a little help...

I tilt my head at what this lady says to me as she pulls out an item. It looked that of a silver pocket watch.

Soejammy: A...pocket watch...?

???: Don't be fooled by how it looks. You'll see that this little thing will give you a chance to fight back, or save those you love.

I looked at the female and then at the watch as it gleamed for a second from the rays of the sun that shined through the trees.

Soejammy: But what does it-

Before I could look back at the female, she was gone.

Soejammy: God damn it. She pulled a Batman on me. How the fuck do people pull that shit off??

I sighed as I looked at the watch once more and took a feel for it. Feeling the metal that made up the watch. The pocket watched ticked slowly in keeping time based on the current time of the day.

Soejammy: Well... At least we'll know what time the sun sets...

I kept looking at it until a sudden realization hit me. I quickly stood up and held my hands to my head.

Soejammy: That woman forgot to take me back! I don't even know where I am in this forest!

I groaned as I fell to my knees and placed my hands on the ground.

Soejammy: Can this day get any worse...?

I sighed at my predicament as I got back up with a defeated look on my face.

Soejammy: Who knows what kinds of psychos there are in these types of woods? For all I know, a teen with anger issues that has a prosthetic left arm could attack me at any moment!

???: WOOOOW. You have no IDEA how ironic this is. Especially with my "condition".

I heard a voice and look behind me to see someone who had their arms crossed in having a left prosthetic arm. I was confused as to who they were until I began to recognize the person in front of me. Making me worried for who I saw.

Soejammy: What?? (No... It can't be...! Why the hell is he here too...!?)

The person I saw in front of me, was Johnathan. The person I created in Book 2 of my Hyperdimension book as one of the antagonists that become an enemy to (Y/n) and the CPUs. The same person who becomes Discord in the series as the reason he lost his original arm, was from a fight that changed (Y/n)'s life even more. Johnathan took a step towards me as I reacted into taking a step back.

Johnathan: Jeez. I haven't even done anything and yet you've either seen a ghost or just a pansy little shit. You give off a pansy attitude if I look more closely.

I felt annoyed as it was meant to get under my skin from how he spoke to me.

Soejammy: Maybe it's that I have weird vibes I get by just looking at you. Not really giving a friendly look the way you walk and speak, pal.

Johnathan chuckled in finding myself to be a joke. Not taking me seriously with how much I know of him. Johnathan took a deep breath along with a sigh in seeming pleased about something. Something I don't like when he's calmed.

Johnathan: I get that a lot. But sadly, this REALLY isn't your day. And I mean that quiet LITERALLY.

Johnathan drew his sword out as he gave me a look that showed a sadistic grin.

Johnathan: You see, I'm here because my "Boss" has high orders on wanting you dead. Sees you as a threat to his own plans.

Soejammy: Why the HELL does someone want me dead?! I've done nothing wrong...!

Johnathan: I honestly don't care who he tells me to kill. But the things he told me WHY to kill you, was enough to get my attention to end you no matter what. And my "arm" agrees with me...

I looked at Johnathan as he glared at me in hate and disgust. The kind that gives no mercy for those that piss someone off in finding a cause or reason that matches their drive. Seeming to know more than what he let on, I discover something based on what he said to me about in wanting to kill me become clear as day.

Soejammy: (Johnathan knows beyond the 4th wall...! He knows I'm responsible for putting the part of his arm being cut off by (Y/n)...!!)

Johnathan released a pressure of energy in showing his deep anger for me. An energy that I was unfamiliar with as it brought great fear to me in sensing it. The energy Johnathan gave out was that of a purplish color. More that of a darker version of the color in fact.

Johnathan: I'LL RIP YOU APART FOR RUINING MY LIFE!! YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!

https://youtu.be/GsGA5I4q9N0

Johnathan reached out with his prosthetic arm as it opened up to be a cannon to fire at me.

Soejammy: Holy shit!!

When he fired at me, the blast came flying at me while I jumped to the side. The blast of energy crashed into the rock as it turned it into rubble in just one blast. I shook with fear as I had no power that could compare to Johnathan.

Soejammy: (Shit!! I got to get out of here...! I'll die if I stay here...!!)

I got up quickly as Johnathan had lunged at me with his sword at the ready. His eyes having tunnel vision for his need to end my life right here.

Johnathan: I'm not letting you leave here ALIVE!! YOU WILL DIE BY MY HANDS!!!

Soejammy: AAAAAAAHHHH!!!

I rolled to the side as the sword plunged into the earth. What I didn't expect was that, the energy surrounding Johnathan gave him more power as the ground explodes with the energy released. The blast from the energy sent me flying into a tree as I struggled to get up.

Soejammy: (If he comes anywhere near me, I become the next special effect in a horror movie!)

When I finally get up, I clutch the pocket watch I was given as I began to run into the forest. Not caring where I was going as I tried to escape from Johnathan. I could hear Johnathan as he screamed in anger.

Johnathan: YOU WON'T GET AWAY FROM ME YOU BASTARD!!! I'LL CHASE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THIS FUCKING DIMENSION IF I MUST!!!

Soejammy: Talk about your Ocean Dub version of Vegeta on Namek! Because this is what my situation feels like right now!!

I ran around trees and bushes as I made my haste through the woods. I could hear Johnathan gaining on me with how angry he is. I keep running for a few minutes as I reached to that of a cliff as I had to quickly stop myself before going off. I pant softly in having to look down how far the drop was as I tried to turn back, but I could see Johnathan cut me off in trying to keep running.

Johnathan: Boy you sure aren't lucky. Even my "Boss" said your luck sucked in anything you do.

I sweat in being annoyed by the comment alone as it touched a nerve with how things happen to me.

Soejammy: (Great... Not only does the person want to kill me, but even the asshole who sent THIS asshole is a dick...)

Johnathan approached me slowly as I backed up just the same. I almost felt myself slip as I had to quickly regain my footing.

Soejammy: Ha-ah... Too high...! Not a fan of heights at the moment...!

Johnathan: And frankly you don't have much choice in options right now. Because I see only two options for you: You either jump off, or I kill you nice and slow. And I do hope that you choose the latter. I want to make you SUFFER in the pain I had to feel.

Soejammy: Honestly, you get a cool arm and it has things that no other arm would have. I dislocated my shoulder just from falling over my own two feet just trying to go to the library. I had to feel my shoulder pop back into place with the help of medicine from the doctors. Took me a month and a half before I could use my left arm again to-

Johnathan: MY PAIN IS NOT THE SAME AS YOURS!!! I LOST MY ARM IN A BATTLE!!!

I sweat at seeing how angry Johnathan was as I could see a huge difference.

Soejammy: Um... You still got to get a new arm?

Johnathan yelled as he rushed towards me. I freaked out as I wanted to move back, but forgot about the ledge and began to fall. I looked up to see Johnathan stare down at me to watch me fall to my death. I looked down to see how far I am as the trees down below were getting closer and closer. I panicked as I was afraid of dying.

Soejammy: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! SOMEONE HEEEEEEEELP!!!

My heart was racing faster and faster, causing me to go into a state of shock from panicking. My eyes began to close from my situation, but I saw a bright light. A light that got closer to me as it looked like someone was rushing to my aid. Their voice being an echo as I passed out before they could reach me.

Soejammy: (Who... Who is that...?)

Later...

Time: Night

I stirred in my sleep as I began to wake up slowly. I groaned in pain slightly as it hurt to move even the slightest inch. I felt I was on my back as my head was resting on something soft. Soft enough to feel like a pillow. Hearing the sound of fire crackling, I also heard some argument between two men as I could hear them close by.

???: We don't even know where we are. We had to face weird crap here ever since we stepped through that portal. "Go through a portal. What harm could it do?"

???: I get that. We've been having to deal with crazy monsters almost all day. But that guy there is trapped like us. Whoever that was chasing him seemed to have a pretty damn good grudge. The only thing our friend here has is a pocket watch. Makes me want one for myself actually... Looks really cool.

???: FORGET ABOUT THE DAMN WATCH YOU IDIOT!! FOCUS!!

I felt scared as I remembered Johnathan was chasing after me before I passed out. Scared for how (Y/n), Neptune and the children would have to deal with Johnathan if they came across him. I kept my eyes closed, but my heart was racing with having to stay calm. For some reason though, I thought my head would be lying on something hard given I didn't know these people. I turned softly as to try and see if there wasn't anything behind me to sneak away from, but all I could see was something white.

Soejammy: (H-Huh...? What am I looking at...??)

When I keep trying to wonder, I began to smell a scent. A sweet smell as I tried to wonder what that was. I soon felt a hand rest on my head as I felt someone pet my head softly. With how I couldn't escape, I decided to see what it was. When I open my eyes, I had an exhausted look in my eyes as they tried to adjust to the lighting. I could see it was dark out as it was night time through the trees. But what surprised me was when I saw who was petting my head. It was a girl with hair as white as snow and it being into twin-tails as she had a warm smile when looking at me. I recognized who this person was as my eye opened up a little more from my surprise. Seeing that I was awake, the girl smiled softly as she spoke in a calm voice. The person right in front of me, was Ivory.

Ivory: Shhh. Don't be alarmed. You're in safe hands now.

https://youtu.be/DyJFuPo86xk

Ivory seemed to know that I was still scared as the moment from before only seemed like a few minutes after I woke up. Speaking to me in a calm voice in trying to assure me that I was safe.

Ivory: Are you okay? You were being chased by that man. If you hadn't screamed, I wouldn't have heard you were in trouble... But you're okay now. You weren't hurt, right?

I looked at Ivory as I became more aware of my surroundings. Ivory had been resting my head against her lap in keeping me comfortable in allowing me to rest. I began to blush as it made me feel shy to lie my head on a girl's lap.

Soejammy: Th-Thanks... I'm... I'm okay...

Ivory saw my expression and giggled to herself. Smiling in seeing me loosen up on my previous situation.

Ivory: You're welcome. Feeling thirsty? We have some water if you need a drink?

I nod my head softly as I felt shy at how kind Ivory was. When I had created her, this is how I pictured Ivory would be in tending to someone who needed help. Ivory smiled in my acceptance to drink something.

Ivory: Okay, wait just a moment please.

Looking up away from me, Ivory began to speak to the two men I heard earlier before talking to Ivory.

Ivory: Can you please bring the water over here? Our friend here needs something to drink please.

I heard an annoyed sigh as it was a sign of confirming to the request. Though, the more I heard the voice, it sounded more familiar to me. I saw a canteen be handed to Ivory as she began to unscrew the cap.

???: You know, being kind to everyone around you is going to get you killed one day, Ivory.

Ivory: If it means I did something to give hope to those around me, I would do it a thousand times and more after that, Shalla.

The name Shalla didn't click into my head at first. But after Ivory helped move my head to support me in getting a drink as I saw who had brought the water over. My eyes grew wide at looking at someone else that I created. Shalla wore a silver colored hoodie with a white shirt underneath it. Shalla wore some grey sneakers while wearing a black shorts that reach down past his knees. Shalla's hair was jet black that was short while having an annoyed expression as if not caring about anything. Feeling my breath go out of control, I began to cough when water entered my lungs as I began to freak out.

Soejammy: No! *cough cough* Get him away from me...! *cough cough*

Shalla looked at me as if I annoyed him as he took my wrist and held it tightly.

Shalla: Hey. Do you treat all that take care of you as if you're a little shit?

Soejammy: Let go! Don't touch me!!

I began on trying to struggle in getting out of Shalla's grip as it only tightened with energy being supplied to make it stronger.

Shalla: Ugh... The more you keep annoying me, the more that I wish we left you for dead. Half of the monsters we kept from getting into our camp can hear you. If you want to die so badly, we can just throw you to a pack of wolves and just let you die like you want.

Ivory: Shalla! How can you say such a thing?! He's probably still shaken up from what happened!

Shalla: I'm doing what's best in trying to keep us safe. We almost died trying to save this guy today. But it is my duty to make sure nothing bad happens to you. No matter the cost.

Ivory: But it is also my job in making sure that no harm comes to anyone! It is my duty as a CPU to ensure that! Until I die and someone capable to defend Lowee in my stead comes along, I will defend anyone from harm. You know that's how I work, Shalla.

Hearing the two argue with each other, I began to get a better grasp as to questions that were in my head. This wasn't Dionix that I created. No, this is Shalla BEFORE he witnessed Ivory dying in his arms. Before the genocide would even happen at all to the Shinzuyaku Clan. I began to calm down slightly as I saw another person come from behind Shalla with a toothy grin in trying to make a joke.

???: This guy giving you trouble?? Can't say I blame you on that. Shalla gives off the wrong impression to everyone with how serious he. It is HIS job to protect his "princess". I mean, look at that face. He looks like a thug from the look he gives to everyone if you ask me. I wouldn't be caught dead in public with him even if we were on a mission. His attitude could get him arrested for anything! Ha ha ha!!

Shalla tried to keep his cool, but began to get angry at the insults given to him. Tick marks began to form on his forehead from each insult made by his friend. Shalla looked the guy next to him as there was a burning rage in his eyes.

Shalla: If you wanted to get punched in the face, Aiden. You've asked for it!!

I became surprised when I heard Shalla say his friend's name. Aiden wore that of an orange colored hoodie along with a red shirt underneath it. Aiden also wore a pair of grey sneakers and even some black shorts reaching past his knees. Aiden chuckled as he ran from Shalla to keep himself from being grabbed. Dodging each grab made as to avoid Shalla.

Aiden: Hey! Can't ya take a joke?! I was only trying to make us laugh!

Shalla: Not when it annoys me! RAGH!!

Aiden looked behind him and could see Shalla had lunged forward to close the distance on him.

Aiden: OH SHIT!!

Aiden get's knocked down hard by Shalla. Shalla soon puts Aiden in a headlock in causing him to struggle.

Shalla: Say uncle! Say it!! Say it you shit!!

Aiden: Y-You're ass is fat and you're weak...!

Shalla did not like that as he made the grip tighter on Aiden. I sweat as I looked at Ivory, seeing her giggle at how Shalla and Aiden acted with each other.

Soejammy: Do they usually do that...?

Ivory: Only when Aiden gets under Shalla's nerves enough. It's funny when the two fight. Only Aiden ever annoys Shalla enough to lose his cool and act like this.

Soejammy: Oh really? Huh.

Being told about character information that I never written yet is a bit weird for me when another character explains it to me. I feel more comfortable with knowing that this Shalla won't purposefully kill me, but will if I pose a threat that endangers Ivory's life. Making me want to stay on Shalla's good side if I plan on getting back to the others. While Shalla and Aiden were still "goofing around", I looked at Ivory to ask her some questions.

Soejammy: So, Ivory?

Ivory: Yes?

Soejammy: May I ask, how you three got here?

Ivory: Hmm... There isn't three of us, there's four. But she's looking for some food while we keep the camp secured. But to answer your question however... The four of us, that being Shalla, Aiden, our friend and myself, had just finished a mission that involved taking on a weird Dogoo Man. It was a Dogoo with a male's body. Can you believe that??

I sweat when she mentions Dogoo Man as I asked about it more.

Soejammy: Did he talk about his pectoral muscles along with flexing...?

Ivory: That's the one! How did you know??

I sweat more as I had a horrible thought come across my mind as I didn't want to know the answer to.

Soejammy: (Is that guy immortal or something...?! How is that possible...?!) Ugh... Never mind about that... Can we please talk about HOW you four got here...?

Ivory: Well, after we had to run away from the Dogoo Man, we were all very exhausted. The sun was setting as Shalla suggested we set up camp for the night.

Soejammy: So what happened?

Ivory: Aiden didn't feel comfortable in wanting to sleep in the forest as some Dogoo might lick his face. I offered to allow us to teleport back to Lowee to make our trip easier for us. But Shalla disagreed in wanting to do that as it would waste energy. We took a vote and it was a 3-1 vote with the majority wanting to teleport through my portal.

Soejammy: And once you all stepped through, something weird happened that got you four stuck here?

Ivory nodded her head as she confirmed my guess to what happened.

Soejammy: I see... Well, regardless if you used it or not, I'm glad you all were here to save me.

Ivory: It wasn't much. I just did what I have to do. It's my role as a CPU to defend those in danger. Even when it means that I could die for what I believe in.

I looked at Ivory as I felt meaning to her words as her death played in my head. Making me sympathetic for how her fate turns to in the end as it made me hate myself for how her life had to end in such a way. Ivory saw my expression change as she held my hand softly in hers. Her white glove that reached to her elbow felt soft as the fabric was made of silk.

Ivory: You okay...? What's wrong...?

Soejammy: Nothing... Just... A bad memory is all...

Ivory: Oh. Well, I can't help with memories... But I'm great in cheering people up. Do you want a hug?

I was surprised when she offered to hug me, but she didn't listen to if I wanted it and gave one to me regardless. She rubbed my back as to reassure that things were going to be okay. I softly hugged Ivory back as I felt a connection from her helping me.

???: Hey! I found some food! A little help??

Ivory and I heard a female voice as Ivory seemed happy to hear who it was. The female sounded like she was struggling as Ivory got up to go help her friend.

Ivory: Were you okay while you went to gather food?

???: You kidding?? I could carry more food if I had the chance. But sadly, what I carry is what I carry.

Ivory moved the leaves to the side as to allow her friend to pass through without trouble. When placing the food down on a mat, I was able to see who this person was. For most, it would be Uzume. But considering the group I'm with, my best guess for which version this Uzume was... It would be before she seals herself in the game console everyone knows...

Uzume: But with a little more searching, we should have enough food for at least... 3 days?

Ivory: That's good. I could have Shalla help in cooking with me to make delicious meals. Maybe even help you with your mushroom problem.

Uzume got grossed out at the mention of mushrooms as she shook her head.

Uzume: Nu-uh! No way am I eating any shiitake mushrooms! One taste makes me gag!

Ivory: But they're really good if we can figure out how to make them edible for you to eat.

Uzume: Ha! The day those mushrooms become edible to eat, I'll slap myself silly.

I snort as I tried to cover my mouth to keep myself from laughing. With knowing her future, it would be silly to even imagine it. Uzume noticed me as she sat down next to me.

Uzume: Finally up huh? Glad to see you're okay. Thought we would lose you after you hit your head against a tree trunk.

Soejammy: I WHAT?!

I looked at Ivory as she sweats from Uzume giving out what happened to me.

Ivory: Uzume... He didn't know that...

Hearing that Uzume messed up, she froze up at her mistake.

Uzume: Oh... Oops.

Soejammy: When did that happen...?

Ivory: After I caught you... But the impact from catching you made us fall into the forest... Your head hit against a tree and began to bleed... Sorry...

I sighed at figuring out why my head had been hurting, though now it was more apparent after I felt some of the medicine wear off. I rubbed my head as I felt bandages to help my head heal from the impact. I groaned at how the pain felt as it caused my head to hurt softly. Ivory tapped my shoulder softly to direct my attention to her as she offered me a rice ball. In Japan, the type of food like this would also be called an Onigiri. A rice ball shaped into a triangular shape while being wrapped with nori, or in English, dried seaweed.

Ivory: This is only an experiment, but we don't have many healing items as we were running short.

Uzume: But then I had this idea. What if food can help heal you while satisfying your tastebuds??

Ivory: I was able to find some medicinal plants, with Shalla's help, in trying to figure out which were safe to consume.

Uzume: Like she said, these are only a test as we don't have much to heal wounds with. We're hoping that this may be a good substitute to help out.

Soejammy: I see...

I looked at the rice ball as I took a more careful look at it. There were some modifications to the rice ball. Modifications such as having chopped plants in the folds of each rice as to give a potent dose based on how much was used. It wouldn't be like the Nep-bull that I'm familiar with, but this is basically a test since they may not have developed food that heals some wounds yet.

Soejammy: Here goes nothing then. Let's see how this tastes...

I decided to take a bite out of the rice ball and chewed on it a few times. The flavor I tasted in my mouth had salt that was cooked with the rice. It would seem the rice had been cooked, but cooled down afterwards. Looking at the rice ball, I could see more of the medicinal plants imbedded into the rice. It tasted good as it was given flavor for not just having salt, but the added in plant. The rice ball was good that I ate it happily with a smile on my face.

Soejammy: That was good! I've never had a rice ball before, but I didn't think they tasted THIS good!

Ivory: How are you? Feeling any changes in how your injury feels? Does your head still hurt?

I had almost forgotten about why they were giving me the rice ball. Feeling the injury on my head, I noticed that the pain had died down, but just enough that I could relax from the pain.

Soejammy: Wow. It actually worked.

Uzume: Really?? That's great!

Ivory: If we can somehow get something like this developed, with added upgrades to our idea, we could be on to something incredible Uzume.

Uzume: You better believe it! Just what until Umio hears about this!

I froze at hearing the name as a thought finally came across for me to ask.

Soejammy: Question...

Uzume: Hmm? What is it??

Soejammy: This... May be a sensitive topic to talk about... But is... Everything going okay in your Nations??

Uzume and Ivory looked at each other and seemed sad when I brought that up.

Ivory: It... It's a hard time for us... Getting attacked by surprised

Uzume: Something that is scary to think about, yet only something we have to currently deal with...

I could sense what was troubling them as I remember creating something similar as a hint to a memory in my book about them. Remembering the situations they were facing.

Soejammy: Assassins... Am I right...?

Ivory and Uzume were surprised when I brought that up. Seeming to know what they were thinking about.

Uzume: H-Huh?? How did...?

Soejammy: You'd be surprised with what I know...

Ivory: Like what??

Soejammy: *sighs* Honestly...? I wouldn't even know where to begin... But. If I could do something that would ease your worries... All I can say is this...

They looked at me in wondering what I was going to say to them as I gave them the warmest smile I could manage from them helping me so far.

Soejammy: Keep doing what you do best. You can't please everyone. Never let someone put you down for following your heart. Because the only time when there is no hope, is when you decide to give up. If you give up, you'll be proving to everyone what they always say.

Both Ivory and Uzume become sad at hearing what I say to them. But I take both of their hands gently as I squeezed to gain their attention. Showing them my smile as I wanted them to have hope.

Soejammy: Don't be sad. When the going gets tough, you two are doing what anyone in your position is doing. Giving a REASON, for your people to believe in you two. I believe in you. You're doing your best. Don't EVER lose hope.

Both Ivory and Uzume looked perplexed by my encouraging words as I smiled at them. I heard two people behind me that seemed to be clearing their throats. I turned around and could see Shalla and Aiden cracking their knuckles. I sweat softly from the looks they were giving me.

Soejammy: Uh... Anything I can help you two with...?

Shalla: Did you just almost make them cry...?

Soejammy: Uh... No...?

Aiden: Are you asking us, or answering?

Soejammy: Answering...?

The two of them got in close to my face as they gestured to my hands as I was holding their hands longer than I should be. I remembered I made the Clan to be guardians to the CPU they were designated to protect. And because Aiden and Shalla were acquainted with Ivory and Uzume, they seemed to have gotten jealous with me spending time with them. I let go of both Ivory and Uzume's hands as I held my hands up in a surrender expression.

Soejammy: If it looked like I was trying to hit on them... I wasn't.

Shalla: No one asked what you were doing!

Aiden: Were you hitting on them!?

I sweat more as Ivory got in Shalla's face. Surprising him as Uzume did the same with Aiden.

Uzume: Guys, lay off will you??

Ivory: Our friend- Um... What was your name...?

Soejammy: Oh. Right... I didn't introduce myself earlier... Soejammy, but you can call me Soe or Jammy for short if you want.

Ivory: Jammy, was was trying to cheer us up from what is going on in our personal life.

Uzume: There was nothing like what you two were thinking, Soeja- Jamsoe- Ah. Screw it. Soesy was trying to encourage us in being true to ourselves and just do the best we can do. That's all. It was... Reassuring to hear.

Shalla and Aiden blinked and looked at each other before Ivory got in Shalla's face. I could see her smiling as if to joke around with Shalla.

Ivory: If you were feeling jealous, all you had to do was just talk is all~

Shalla began to blush hard as he turned around to go tend to the fire. Grumbling about what Ivory said to him while Aiden sighed and got down on his hands and knees. I looked at him as I was confused as he gave a sincere apologetic bow.

Aiden: I'm sorry for accusing you when you were trying to help... Please accept my apology...

I was surprised with how Aiden had switched from being hostile in what I was doing, to being apologetic after finding out what I was actually doing.

Soejammy: N-No. That's okay. You were just looking out for your friends. Both of you were. It's quite understandable. Really. If you two were listening to what I was talking to Uzume and Ivory about, the situation wouldn't have risen in the first place.

Aiden sighed as he got up. Giving me a smile before placing a hand on my shoulder.

Aiden: I'm glad you were helping them out. Times like this, we need all the friends we can get. Assassins and everything trying to kill them... It's just... Surprising how some people can just do this... Especially to their CPUs...

Soejammy: Honestly... It's scary... I can understand from how they feel in their position...

I sighed as I wanted to change the subject as I went over to the gathered food to see what was there. What caught my eye was some slabs of meat wrapped up in a bag as that had caught my attention.

Soejammy: Uzume??

Uzume: Yeah, Soesy?

Soejammy: Where did you find this meat? I didn't think you wielded a blade or anything.

Uzume: Oh yeah. Let me see about that. It's really strange.

Uzume walked over along with Ivory and Aiden. We looked at the meat as it looked like it was cut recently, but not recent enough as the blood on it must've dried. We would have to clean the pieces of the meat to make the meat edible to eat before cooking it. The pieces Uzume could bring seemed to have been cut perfectly by a skilled swordsman.

Uzume: I was wondering around in the forest when I found this big clearing. Even though it was dark, I could see like this big pile of stuff as it made me wonder what it was. When I got closer, I saw it was this meat!

Soejammy: An open clearing??

I picked up the meat and began to examine it as I looked at the particular color. The color was screaming at me as to why I remember it, but then the picture of the T-Rex came into my mind. I remember seeing (Y/n) was the one who killed the beast off as this brought hope to myself on where the location could be.

Soejammy: Uzume! Do you know where you found this??

Uzume: Yeah. I made sure to make some kind of way to find my way back there in case we need more food.

Soejammy: If you found that place, then my friends are near that area! This meat you found are pieces of a T-Rex that one of our friends finished off!

Uzume: This meat is from a T-Rex?! That's so cool!!

Aiden: You know, I never thought of what a T-Rex would taste. But since it's here, now I HAVE to know!

I was filled with hope of being able to regroup with Neptune and the others as Ivory seemed happy about my hope in rejoining them.

Ivory: Taking down a T-Rex?? That's very lucky. I hope we can meet them soon. Your friend seems strong to take out a pre-historic animal such as that.

Shalla: We're not going anywhere until it's day time. I refuse to endanger the lives of everyone in going out there. Once sunrise comes, then we'll go.

Shalla said as he walked over and has a serious look as usual. Shalla looked at me as I flinched, thinking he was going to do something to me.

Shalla: I hate babysitting, so I'm giving you two options so we can get you back to your friends. Whichever decision you choose is yours to make.

Soejammy: Um... I'm not a baby but-

Shalla: You can either go back alone and look for the signs Uzume may have left, or you stay with us and we'll travel during day light. The night holds many surprises as it isn't safe to travel in. So I would recommend in waiting until morning so we can help you.

I looked at Shalla as I smiled softly at how he put his "offer" to help me in his own way.

Soejammy: Thanks. I'll be sure to take you up on the offer.

Shalla: Whatever... Can we eat now? We need to keep our strength up in case we need to fight.

Aiden: Yeah. I'm pretty starved.

I was about to say something as my stomach growled loudly as I held it in embarrassment.

Soejammy: Uh... Bigger helping for me...? Please...?

There was silence in our group, until Ivory, Uzume and Aiden began to laugh from what I said. Shalla just rolled his eyes as I could have sworn I saw a smirk. It made me smile to be with people I felt familiar with, even though I didn't KNOW them long. Once the food was done being cooked, portions were distributed around to give an even amount for everyone to get. I saw Ivory conversing with Shalla while Uzume conversed with Aiden. I ate my food in peace with a sting of being lonely in that moment. Although I was happy to meet some people from my story and not asking much about me, my thoughts always turned back to where Neptune could be with the others.

Ivory: Jammy?

I was startled back to my senses as I didn't notice Ivory was sitting next to me.

Ivory: Are you okay...? Does the food not taste well...?

I shook my head as I knew what the problem was, I had tried every piece of food given as I couldn't be cheap in what I wanted to eat. This was the wild. That meant every food found is a resource to survive with.

Soejammy: No. The food's good. The meat of the dino is cooked to a good tender point as the spices added to it give it more flavor. The plants Uzume found while searching help form a balance meal for our situation to keep our energy up. Truly. The meal is great...

Ivory: But I think this is more than what you're letting on, right...?

I felt sad, and Ivory could sense it in me. I wouldn't be able to lie to her if she was being this persistent.

Soejammy: It's... My friends... I... I'm worried for them and I worry because they don't know I'm okay...

I was sad and worried a little more from worrying, but Ivory put her hand on my shoulder softly.

Ivory: We'll find them. I promise we will.

I could trust Ivory with the calm voice she had as I smiled softly. I turned to look at Ivory softly in wanting to respond to her.

Soejammy: Thanks, Ivory. If you weren't here, I guess I would be scared out of my mind...

Ivory: Anything to help. Hmm? You have a crystal?

I tilt my head by what Ivory meant, but realized she was talking about my necklace. It seemed it fell out out through the opening of my shirt as it dangled softly. I took the crystal softly as I held it in my hand.

Soejammy: This was given to me by my parents. It was a gift as I found necklaces that had crystals on them to be interesting. I smiled the day I got this. I only wear it whenever I go to leave my home. That or if I'm feeling like wearing it.

Ivory: Does it have powers like Shalla or Aiden's??

With being asked that question, I could have said "No". But if I did it would seem like I knew what she was talking about. So I decided to play dumb for a moment.

Soejammy: Why would it have powers?? It's just a regular necklace.

Ivory: Oh, so it isn't like Shalla's or Aiden's?? I thought you were a member of their Clan?

Soejammy: Hmm... No. As far as I know... You guys are the weird ones here with powers and I'm just some regular man. Only thing I have going for are the ideas I have in my head. That's my ONLY power.

Ivory: Are you an inventor of some sorts then?

Soejammy: No. I write stories from time to time. Nothing more and nothing less. It's just a hobby I love. Hope to actually go further one day and make it a dream to do.

Ivory smiled at my answer and liked how I had my own goals in mind.

Ivory: That sounds like a wonderful dream. I hope I can get to read one of your books one day.

Soejammy: *chuckles nervously* You'd be surprised with what I write. (Considering that some stories have you in it...)

I thought that to myself as if I spoke too much, it could become confusing and might expose myself to be someone of the future to them.

Ivory: If you don't mind, may I see the crystal at a closer look?

I didn't see how it could be a bad thing as held the crystal in my hand and brought it closer to her. Ivory took her glove off as she reached out softly with a smile on her face in observing the necklace. But when her finger tips touched my crystal, it began to glow after it was touched. This surprised both myself and Ivory with how unexpected it was.

Soejammy: Wh-What??

Ivory: I-It's glowing...!

The glow of the necklace began to die down as soon it was over. I looked at Ivory and then at the necklace as it was very weird on why it happened.

Ivory: The crystal glowed! I thought you said you didn't have any powers??

Soejammy: Okay... I know what I said, but I have no idea why that happened. Honestly with my life if I was being threatened. This necklace was bought online and given to me as a Christmas gift by my parents. I'm just as surprised as you are.

I looked at Ivory and then looked around and could see Shalla walking towards us as he seemed curious about what was going on.

Shalla: What seems to have you two spooked about?

Ivory: We were just having a nice chat as his crystal had caught my attention. I wanted to feel the crystal, but it began to glow softly after I touched it.

Shalla: What?? Are you making this up?? Please tell me this is not a joke you're making...

Soejammy: Dude, she isn't lying. I wouldn't be spooked like her if I didn't see it before my eyes. My crystal glowed right after she touched it.

Shalla didn't believe me and decided to see for himself as he touched the necklace for himself as the necklace gave off a slight-stronger reaction to him.

Shalla: Strange...

Ivory: What is it?

Shalla: I sense slight traces of energy in this... But it's something strange. Weird even...

The crystal died down like before as any contact with Shalla didn't give a reaction to it anymore. Shalla looked at me with some confusion on his face.

Shalla: Where did you get this??

Soejammy: It was a gift from my parents... It was in a delivery they ordered for Christmas, but there were so many that came in, I didn't know one would be a gift for me...

Shalla: Hmm... Fine. You seem to be telling the truth.

Shalla got up and turned around to go back in wanting to eat his dinner, but when he looked, Aiden was taking portions from Shalla's plate.

Shalla: AIDEN!! LEAVE MY FOOD ALONE!!

Aiden: Yipes!! Time to eat and run!!

Aiden swipes Shalla's piece of dino meat and runs away as Shalla gave chase. Both Ivory and I watched Shalla chasing Aiden. Uzume was laughing in seeing Aiden being chased, but soon both Ivory and I began to laugh too. Once dinner was done and over with, we all had to settle down for the night as we would need to wake up early in the morning. During the night, Shalla and Aiden would take turns in keeping watch as to provide the other to gain some rest. For myself however... I did not. Too much thoughts kept coming to my mind as I felt my crystal softly. Thinking too much about why it glowed the way it did.

Time skip...

Time: Day

I yawned softly as I had a tired look in my eyes. Most of the night I couldn't sleep, but whatever sleep I got, I would wake up here and there to thoughts of my friends. My friends I was with in the forest, but also the ones on Wattpad. I didn't have a signal to send any messages to them and wondered how some were doing. Not like I could if I did. I didn't have my phone on me and my laptop was with Neptune before getting separated.

Soejammy: (I hope Neptune is taking good care of it... I won't be able to relax until I'm reunited with it...)

I kept walking until a tree branch hit me in the face. I fell backwards onto my back as I yelped in pain. Ivory and Uzume looked down from above me with curious looks on their faces.

Uzume: What are you doing on the ground?? Got exhausted Soesy??

I groaned as I sat up to rub my nose.

Soejammy: No... Wasn't paying attention and I get my senses slapped back into me.

Ivory: *giggles* Aiden sometimes has that happen to him. Even Shalla on rare occasions.

Hearing how they had branches smacked into their faces too, caused both Shalla and Aiden to sweat.

Aiden and Shalla: Must you not embarrass me...?

Both men looked at each other as they were in sync.

Aiden and Shalla: Hey. You copying me?? Hey. Stop that! Stop that!!

Both began to grumble as Uzume and Ivory laughed from what they saw. I chuckled too as it was kinda funny to experience. I looked around where we were as I wondered how far we were going.

Soejammy: You sure we're going the right way Uzume?

Uzume: You kidding me?? I made sure to leave a good symbol in case I needed a way back. Ah! You see that?

Uzume pointed and ran over to a tree that seemed to have the bark of the tree punched out as she pointed to the mark on the tree.

Uzume: Since it was dark, I had to figure out a way to check if I was returning to camp. So I punched some trees here and there from where I was going to show I was finding my way back.

Soejammy: You did it... Why...?

Uzume: Because I thought punching a tree would be cool. Don't you think??

I sweat as I casually gave a thumbs up to just agree with Uzume in wanting to be happy.

Soejammy: Uh... Yeah. Very cool. Reminds me of an anime where people punch trees during training.

Uzume smiled brightly as she began on trying to know where the next marker was. Aiden stayed close to Uzume as I had written his role to guard Uzume from danger, while Shalla stayed beside Ivory. Even though I never written in depth of their characters, seeing them the way I had envisioned. In wanting to talk to Ivory, I looked at her.

Soejammy: So, Ivory?

Ivory: Hmm? Yes Jammy?

Soejammy: So, what kind of abilities do you have?

Ivory: Hmm... It's kind of hard to explain. But I can control my energy at most to create portals. But I'm also an excellent shot with a bow.

Soejammy: Care to show me?

Ivory nodded as she looked to Shalla if it would be okay. Shalla didn't seem to care much as he just gave a sigh. Seeing that there was no objection, Ivory summoned her bow and aimed it straight in front of her. I looked at Ivory as she focused her energy to create an arrow out of her energy. Ivory pulls the arrow back on the string of the bow to prepare in firing it.

Soejammy: Got at target in mind?

Ivory: One of Uzume's trees she had punched.

I looked at Ivory and then at one of the trees behind us as she wasn't aiming at it.

Soejammy: But don't you-

Before I could say anything else, Ivory fired the arrow as it flew fast towards Uzume and Aiden. Uzume decided to look towards where we were as she saw the arrow flying towards them.

Uzume: AH!! ARROW!!

Ivory giggled as she snapped her fingers and created a portal in front of the arrow and snapped her fingers again. The portal in front of us closed as I looked at Ivory.

Soejammy: So... What happened to the arrow?

Ivory faced towards me as she held her bow behind her with two hands and then pointed to the tree behind us. I looked to see another portal while it was beginning to disappear. Once it was gone, I saw that the arrow earlier was lodged into the tree before it disappeared itself.

Ivory: I may use portals, but I can always redirect my shots wherever I want them to go.

Soejammy: Ya don't say...

Uzume: Hey!!

Both of us looked over to where Uzume was as she had a look of surprise on her face while being terrified.

Uzume: Watch where you're aiming!! Ya could have shot my eye out!!

Ivory: *giggles* Nothing to worry Uzu, I was just showing our friend here my skills.

Uzume rushed in and held Ivory by her shoulders. Slightly shaking Ivory up while the girl herself was laughing at Uzume's reaction.

Uzume: Don't do that!! Are you trying to kill me out of shock?!

Ivory: No. But it is funny to see your reaction.

Uzume: For the love of-! Just stop that already when wanting to show off!

Ivory: Okay. Okay. I'll let you know next time.

Uzume gave a huff before turning around to guide the group again with Shalla and Aiden looking at Ivory.

Aiden: If Ivory wanted to torture someone... She could with her abilities...

Shalla: But which ones...? Her way of looking happy in whatever she does...? Or her precision skills in firing arrows...?

I shook my head softly as how crazy of a group I was thinking of having in a future book. After walking again for some time, Uzume gasps softly as she looked back at all of us.

Uzume: Hey! Over there!

This caught my interest as I rushed forward to see what Uzume was looking at. I became surprised by what I saw as it was the pieces of cut meat that would be the T-Rex. Just seeing that brought a smile to my face as I looked around. What catches my eye, is smoke that came from a fire up on a hill. I saw some people walking in the area as I became hopeful.

Soejammy: That's them!!

I pushed through the bushes as I began to run towards where my friends were.

Shalla: Hey! Wait!

I ignored Shalla as I kept running. I almost trip, but regain my balance as I kept running.

Soejammy: NEPTUNE!!

I yelled in hopes of someone hearing me. I saw someone stand up with a white hoodie along with lilac hair to look in my direction. It was Neptune as I could immediately tell that was her. I could see her look behind her and point to me as I waved my arms.

Neptune: Jammy!!

I saw (Y/n) appear over the side to see me, but I couldn't hear them as (Y/n) chatted with Neptune. I kept running as I had to tell them about Johnathan and what dangers there could be here. But soon, I saw (Y/n) begin to run down the hill fast and could see that he had an angry look on his face. While (Y/n) ran towards me, he summoned his sword as it was Iris (L/n)'s sword. I stopped in place as to why (Y/n) had his weapon out.

Soejammy: Yo, (Y/n). Why do you-

(Y/n): GET DOWN!!

I ducked down as (Y/n) ran past me. I heard the sound of metal connecting together as I looked back to see (Y/n) and Shalla grunting in pushing against each other. Shalla had summoned his Sapphire Spirit as it was the weapon that belonged to him in his time. (Y/n) looked at the sword and was surprised by the weapon wielded by Shalla. But Shalla was being confused also with (Y/n) looking like him

Shalla: Wh-What the-?! You look just like me!

(Y/n): Don't you start playing stupid here!! What kind of illusion are you playing at now?! How are YOU wielding the sword?!

Shalla: I wield it because I am worthy of it. To YOU, it should be nothing of value. Answer my question, why are you IMPERSONATING me?!

(Y/n): Stop playing the idiot!! It won't work on me!! You call yourself worth?? Worthy my ass!! You are a murderer!! Someone like you should not be wielding the Sapphire Spirit!

Shalla: You know it's name?!

I looked at both (Y/n) and Shalla as I realized my error of bringing the group here.

Soejammy: (SHIT!! PAST AND FUTURE ARE TALKING TO EACH OTHER!! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!)

Shalla drew in power from the sword he wielded as he generated an outwards burst of energy. The energy pushes (Y/n) back as he dug his feet into the ground to keep his balance as he generated a shield in front of him. The shield created a resistance to the force of energy that was being sent his way as (Y/n) began to push back to keep his attack on Shalla.

(Y/n): Blow your hot air for all I care! That won't stop me!!

Shalla: Damn! What is this guy?!

(Y/n): Black Viper!

(Y/n) channeled energy into his sword as Shalla saw (Y/n)'s blade begin to transform.

Shalla: I-It can transform?!

Once fully changed, (Y/n) launches the pieces of the sword as they quickly wrap around Shalla's ankle. Shalla looks down and sees his foot wrapped up as the sword had a good hold on him.

Shalla: Sh-Shit!

(Y/n) used both hands as he pulled hard to lift Shalla into the air and slam him to the ground. The process continued to happen about five more times before Ivory, who had transformed into Silver Heart had flown in and caught Shalla by his hand to stop the onslaught.

Silver Heart (Ivory): Shalla! Are you okay?! Why does this guy look like you??

Shalla: How the hell should I know?!

(Y/n) felt resistance in trying to pull Shalla down as he looked up and saw Silver Heart in the air, helping Shalla.

(Y/n): What?? Th-That's not possible... How...?

The spirit of Ivory appeared next to (Y/n) as I could hear their conversation.

Ivory (Spirit): That... That's me... But, that doesn't make sense... How??

(Y/n): You got me, but for all we know, it could be a copy...

Ivory (Spirit): Yes... I remember... You don't have to remind me on that... I draw the line on seeing any copies of me made.

(Y/n) pulls on his sword as he releases the hold on Shalla's leg. He glares up was Shalla and even Silver Heart. (Y/n) summons his hat out of his inventory as it was a black hat along with some gold pins in the front. One of the pins had a hand symbol as (Y/n) looked up at Shalla and Silver Heart.

(Y/n): Tch... Good grief... You can't fight me by yourself and you're relying on borrowed power...? How low will you go, you bastard...? Just seeing this fake is pissing me off...

Silver Heart looked at (Y/n) as she was referred to being a "fake" to him. But with my knowledge of who this group is, I got up and tried to shake some sense into (Y/n).

Soejammy: No. (Y/n), you have to stop! They're-

(Y/n) pushed me away as I didn't time to say as a barrage of energy arrows rained down from above. Silver Heart had put Shalla down as to help fight.

Silver Heart (Ivory): "Fake??" I'll show you what's a fake!

(Y/n) grunts as he swung his sword as to time each block while dodging others.

(Y/n): Yeah, and the ones going down, will be you two!!

Switching Black Viper into his left hand, (Y/n) focused his energy to summon out another sword. That sword would be the Sapphire Spirit. When the sword is equipped, (Y/n) gains a surge of power that Shalla could sense.

Shalla: W-What?! This power...! This is Share Energy...! WHO ARE YOU?!

(Y/n) glared at Shalla as he points his Sapphire Spirit towards him. Shalla looked at the sword in his and (Y/n)'s hand to see it was the same sword.

(Y/n): My name is (Y/n). For the death of my Mother and Father, I will personally send you to Hell. But before Hell has it's way with you, I shall judge you myself!! HAAAA!!

https://youtu.be/GjgADKCKBKI

(Y/n) yelled as he charged towards Shalla with both swords at the ready. Silver Heart took aim and was about to fire at (Y/n), but she gets attacked from behind. The person who did this was Purple Heart as she had her sword at the ready.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Mind if I cut in?

Silver Heart (Ivory): What?? Another CPU??

Purple Heart (Neptune): If this is going to be a fight, it only seems fair if I join in too.

Silver Heart (Ivory): Ngh...!

Purple Heart charged towards Silver Heart in swinging a few times. But all three slashes missed their target as Silver Heart began to retaliate. Flying backwards, she focused her energy to make arrows to fire towards Purple Heart. Stopping in the air, Purple Heart took her time as she blocked each shot made towards her. On the ground, (Y/n) and Shalla exchanged attacks as Shalla had generated a shield to help block incoming attacks due to (Y/n) dual wielding.

Shalla: Who are you?? Just WHAT are you?? Some clone??

(Y/n): You're pissing me off by asking the dumbest questions!! You KNOW who I am!!

(Y/n) pulled his right fist back to channel energy into his hand.

(Y/n): Seismic Slam!!

When he punched the ground, vibrations were sent into the ground as the ground began to shake.

Shalla: T-The hell?! He's causing the ground to shake?!

I began to fumble as I tried to keep my balance as I fell backwards from how much the ground was shaking.

Soejammy: THIS IS LITERALLY THE WORST!!!

Aiden and Uzume came up to me quick as Aiden grabbed hold of my hand.

Aiden: Get up! We need to get you to safety!

Soejammy: What?! Wait!

Aiden didn't listen to me as I was pulled to my feet and was being pulled by Aiden. I couldn't escape from his grip. I looked back to see (Y/n) was getting the better of Shalla due to the differences in their skills as I began on trying to pull back against Aiden.

Soejammy: No! We can't! I have to stop this fight!!

Uzume: If you go in there, you will die! You have no powers!

Soejammy: I have to try! I can't just-

I kept trying to break free as I heard a gun shot ring from the area. I looked to see that Crystal and her siblings were rushing towards where I was as Crystal had her revolver out. Once she got herself stationed, Crystal aimed her revolver at Aiden.

Crystal: Let him go! Now!!

Jasper: Trust us... You are not wanting to get involved here...

Lucy: Yeah! What they said!

I looked at Lucy as she looked back at me.

Lucy: Don't look at me! You're the one who created my personality like this...

Soejammy: NOW IS NOT A GOOD TIME FOR 4TH WALL BREAKS!!!

Aiden: What in the world?? I can sense Share Energy coming from them...

Uzume looked at Aiden as she was surprised by that.

Uzume: Are you serious??

Lucy looked at Uzume and smiled as she waved at her.

Lucy: Hi Aunt Uzu.

I had the look of death plastered on my face as Lucy said that. I looked at Uzume as she was deeply confused by this.

Uzume: "Aunt"?? How OLD do you think I am?!

Lucy: How should I know?? 100? 200??

Aiden: Hey! She is not THAT old!!

Crystal kept her aim on both Aiden and Uzume as she looked at me.

Crystal: What are you doing?? Get out of their hold!

Soejammy: Would like too... But I'm not one with POWERS here!!

Jasper: *sighs* Looks like I'll be earning my share of helping out here...

Jasper closed his book as he walked towards Aiden slowly.

Jasper: I'm giving you one chance... Let him go, or this gets ugly fast...

Aiden and Uzume looked at Aiden as he was shorter than them. Aiden sweats with how he was threatened, but not much.

Aiden: Um... I'm not sure what you can do little guy... But what can you do...?

Jasper instantly froze up by hearing a specific word being said to him as I had a look of terror on my face. Uzume looked at me in confusion by the events.

Uzume: Whoa... What's got you scared...?

Soejammy: Aiden done goofed...

Jasper growled as he gained a tick mark on his head. Jasper's eyes glowed red as he looked at Aiden in the eyes.

Jasper: WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY TO ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT!?!? DID YOU JUST CALL ME "LITTLE"?!?!

Jasper began to surge with Share Energy as the ground broke away from the pressure. Crystal and Lucy sweat by what was happening.

Crystal: Of course this was gonna happen...

Lucy: Big Brother is angry now...

Jasper growled as he grasped hold of his necklace as it began to glow bright.

Jasper: DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME LITTLE!!!

Aiden: Th-This power!?

Uzume: There's so much...!!

Jasper began to glow as he began to transform. In the bright light, his clothes disappeared as a white skintight suit was replaced just as quick. Jasper's hair changed from being brown to being blue as his eyes changed to that of a bright red. Jasper tightened his hands as he slammed them together. The power he gathers begins to solidify into gauntlets that consisted of blue and red. On his back, he produced energy wings that consisted of being white. Once he was out, Jasper connected his fists together two times to create sparks from them colliding together. In this form, I know what I would name it with my knowledge of the future. Jasper's form would be that of White Son.

White Son (Jasper): I'LL FUCKING BASH YOUR BRAINS OUT, YOU LITTLE SHIT!!!

Aiden: H-He's a CPU?!

Uzume: What in the hell is going on here?!

White Son (Jasper): SEISMIC SHOCKER!!!

Jasper yelled as he charged forward and focused his energy to his right gauntlet. When I saw that, I forced my hand to get freed as I moved away from the target location. Uzume transformed into Orange Heart as she lifted Aiden from the ground and into the air quickly. When Jasper punched the ground, the earth around him began to break apart along with creating a crater in the middle out. I was terrified by the character I had created in the future, but knew this would be how I imagined Jasper.

Aiden: WHAT IN THE HELL?!

Orange Heart (Uzume): Uzume can't believe her eyes! What power!!

White Son (Jasper): Trust me!! You haven't seen nothing of me yet!! Get back here!!

White Son began to give chase as the area here was becoming like a war zone with all this fighting.

Soejammy: Bad!! Very bad!! What in the world am I going to do!?

Lucy came up to me while Crystal guarded the area to keep an eye out.

Lucy: What's wrong, Jammy??

Crystal: Considering how everyone here is fighting, Jammy has no powers and could be killed by anything nearby.

Soejammy: THAT ISN'T THE PROBLEM!!

Crystal: Then what is it then?!

Soejammy: The group you see is the past!! We're seeing Shalla's group BEFORE the Genocide of his Clan!! BEFORE HE BECOMES DIONIX!!

Crystal had a surprised look on her face hearing this as she looked at me.

Crystal: You can't be serious!

Soejammy: I am!! (Y/n) thinks that Dionix! But that's the REAL Shalla and Ivory!! The Aiden and Uzume are the ones from their time too!! Before Uzume gets sealed and before Uranus is the next CPU!

Lucy giggled at hearing something as I was confused. When I pieced together what I said, I pulled on her ear tightly.

Soejammy: WILL YOU GET SERIOUS!! THIS IS VERY BAD!!!

Lucy: AAHHHHH!!! EAR!! EAAAAAAAAR!!!

I let go as I held my head on what was happening around. (Y/n) was making quick work on keeping Shalla thrown off his balance while Purple Heart was careful of her surroundings while deflecting arrows. White Son was tossing balls of energy as the compressed energy would explode like bombs behind Aiden and Orange Heart.

Soejammy: If any of the four die, I don't know what could happen to the future while we're here...!!

Lucy: In simple terms...?

Crystal: Change the recipe of how pudding is made and it could taste like eggplants!!

Lucy gasped as I facepalmed by how Lucy was much like her mother.

Lucy: That's evil!!

Soejammy: It's worse than that!! If the timeline changes, the consequences could be dire! You three could be erased from time or your personalities could change! You come a single timeline based on the choices made! Change one thing that alternates that course, and we don't know what could happen!!

Crystal groaned as she held her head in her hands.

Crystal: So we have to find some to get them all to stop fighting, or father could erase himself, or we'll all be erased...!?

Soejammy: That's the point...!! But how the hell do we do that...?!

Lucy: Well, I'll go fight my Mom, Crystal can fight Jasper, and Jammy can fight Father and Neo-Dio.

I looked at Lucy from how she said that.

Soejammy: "Neo-Dio"??

Lucy: You know, before he become Dionix.

Soejammy: HIS NAME IS SHALLA!!

Lucy: Too hard for me. Neo-Dio!

I sighed as I took a deep breath. I looked at Crystal to give her specific orders.

Soejammy: Crystal, get Jasper off of Aiden and Uzume. If he kills them both, Shalla in their time will not be stopped and he'll kill everyone in his Clan. No Aiden means no time to enact a seal for the Oracle of their Clan.

Crystal: Gotcha. Lucky for me... I know how to piss Jasper off...

I looked at Lucy as she was playing with her head.

Soejammy: Lucy, I don't care what you do, just PLEASE stop Neptune from killing Ivory! I fear that if she dies right now, Shalla will lose his shit and won't be reasoned with. Do something!

Lucy: Uh okay.

I sighed as I looked how (Y/n) and Shalla were exchanging attack for attack. Shalla was learning how (Y/n) was attacking and figuring out how to counter attack against him. If the battle is pushed too far... I fear that one will die... And both scenarios of one of them dying were off the options to choose from.

Soejammy: I'm gonna try and intervene if I can... Though I have no clue what to do...

Crystal: We'll do what we can. Just get Father to stop fighting himself!

Lucy: I'll try my best too!

I nod as we all went to our objectives. I paid no attention to what went on with the other groups as I had to focus on the main problem. I saw (Y/n) had locked blades with Shalla as (Y/n) was focusing more of his energy to pushing Shalla down. Shalla was trying to push back, but didn't have the energy needed to do what he needed to do. The blades were getting closer to him as the blade was pressing against his cheek. I rushed in as to shoulder slam into (Y/n) to help save Shalla. Shalla took a few breaths as he looked at me to give a thumbs up.

Shalla: Thanks...

Soejammy: Whatever!! Look, both of you need to stop!!

Shalla: Yeah? Well, tell that to him. This crazy man is hell bent on killing me.

Shalla pointed towards (Y/n) as he got up and looked angrier.

(Y/n): Jammy!! Don't get in my way!!

Ivory appeared next to (Y/n) as she seemed worried.

Ivory (Spirit): (Y/n)... You're worrying me... Plus during our fight, you have been overpowering Shalla... I'm beginning to have doubts if we know our situation...

(Y/n): Don't you get in my way!! I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING HERE!!!

Soejammy: Do you even hear yourself?! You sound like you're nuts!!

(Y/n): Don't talk like you know me!! You piece of shit!!!

Upon a closer look, I began to see a purplish energy. The same with how Johnathan when I was being chased.

Soejammy: Sh-Shalla...? Do you see what I see...?

Shalla looked at me as he looked at (Y/n).

Shalla: That he's producing tons of energy??

Soejammy: What about a dark purplish energy??

Shalla: "Purple"?? His energy is blue you dumbass.

I looked at Shalla and then at (Y/n) as (Y/n) was producing huge amounts of the purplish energy.

Soejammy: (Am I the only one who can see this...?! I must be...! Shalla confirmed he can't see it...! But... Why me...??)

(Y/n) yelled as he charged towards both of us as I was still in front of Shalla. (Y/n) didn't seem to care if I was in front of him anymore and only saw Shalla as his enemy.

Shalla: Move!!

Shalla pushed me out of the way with his energy as he blocked the incoming strike by (Y/n). Shalla grunts in desperation while (Y/n) kept on the attack.

(Y/n)?: I'll kill you...! For making me suffer...! Making my family suffer...!! FOR MAKING EVERYONE SUFFER...!!!

Shalla: This guy's nuts...!

When (Y/n) lifted both his arms into the air, Shalla made quick work on sweeping (Y/n)'s legs to trip him. (Y/n) landed hard onto his back as Shalla focused the ground to make a pillar of energy raise (Y/n) into the air fast. (Y/n) rolls off from the top to stop being pushed up and focuses to create energy blades that floated next to him in the air.

(Y/n)?: Have a little taste of this!!

(Y/n) thrusts his hand forward to begin sending the swords towards Shalla.

Shalla: You got to be kidding me!!

Shalla crouched down as he focused a shield in front of him. The swords connect themselves against the shield as one almost made it to Shalla. Shalla sweats with how much he was being pressured like this. He dispels the shield as he focused to create a burst of wind in sending (Y/n) flying in the other direction. (Y/n) bounced against the ground as he regained his footing to stand back up.

Shalla: He's leaving me with no choice...! I have to use my last resort...!

I looked at Shalla as I was confused. I saw him raise his sword into the air as Shalla focused his energy. I was wondering why Shalla was doing that, when I saw the clouds in the sky forming towards this location. I looked towards (Y/n) as he raised his sword just the same, causing Shalla to be surprised from what I heard.

Shalla: H-He knows this attack...?!

(Y/n): Don't think this will work on me! I know ALL your moves Dionix!!

Shalla: For the last time...!! My name is Shalla!!

Both (Y/n) and Shalla began to focus their energy. The clouds above us began to grow dark as the formation soon made the sky begin to rain. I looked around and saw that everyone didn't get far in their fights with what was happening here with me. Lightning began to strike down in different locations as the sound of the thunderclap rang out. Shalla and (Y/n) both began to focus their energies into their blades as single individual lightning bolts struck down. The was a current of energy circulating around Shalla and (Y/n) as both were executing a technique I remember using back in Book 1 when it was introduced between the first fight with Dionix. This particular technique I was gonna implement would be Shalla's last resort attack in his fights. It was his Lightning Rush. Ivory appears next to (Y/n) as she was really concerned now.

Ivory (Spirit): (Y/N)!! Please stop this!! I fear we're making a big mistake now!!

(Y/n)?: SHUT UP!! This is NOT a mistake for me!! This battle ends... IT ENDS TODAY!!!

Shalla glared at (Y/n) as I saw Y/n) arguing with Ivory. I looked at Shalla with him trying to analyze what was going on.

Soejammy: Shalla...! You can't kill him...! Please...!!

Shalla: A little late to be asking that... The way he's acting, he's leaving me no choice BUT to end him... With what weapons he's able to use, who knows who he'll attack next... Forgive me... But I see no other way...

Soejammy: No...!

I looked at Shalla as I could tell he was still charging up.

Soejammy: Then let me have a chance...!

Shalla: What??

Soejammy: Give me a chance to get him to stop...! (Y/n) is not like this...! He is not one for revenge...! Please...!

Shalla was thinking hard with having to decide on what he wanted to do versus letting me try my method.

Shalla: Tch...! Damn it all...!

Shalla looked at me with concern in his eyes with what he was thinking.

Shalla: You better do something! You got about 2 minutes!!

I nod as I got up and ran towards where (Y/n) was as I was now in the middle between both Shalla and (Y/n). I could see the rage in (Y/n)'s eyes as his focus was directly towards Shalla.

Soejammy: (Y/N)!! You have to stop this!! You're not one to take revenge!!

(Y/n)?: YOU DON'T KNOW ME!!! He made my family suffer! I had to watch my own Father, my Mother died in front of me!! My Mother had to die because of this bastard!!

Soejammy: But would they want you to commit what you're doing out of revenge?! They wouldn't!!

(Y/n)?: DON'T YOU DARE TALK LIKE YOU KNOW THEM!!! YOU KNOW NOTHING OF WHAT I FELT!!! I COULDN'T EVEN SAVE THEM!!!

I looked at (Y/n) as I was getting worried. Almost a minute had passed by as the electrical currents were getting worse. I felt pain in my heart as I could feel (Y/n)'s pain. The pain of losing a family. I fear everyday if I ever lost my parents. If it was either by someone holding a gun, a drunk driver, or just anything I had heard of. But to have the power to fight and not be able to save your loved ones... It would torture anyone...

Soejammy: You're right...!! I'm not them...!!

(Y/n)?: Then get the hell out of my damn way!

Soejammy: I won't. Not like this.

I stood there. Looking at (Y/n) as I could do only one thing. One thing that I could do.

Soejammy: If someone has to die for their death, it's me.

(Y/n) looked at me as if I was crazy.

(Y/n)?: What are you-??

Soejammy: Dionix may have been the one to strike them down... But it wouldn't have happened if I didn't MAKE it happen...

I saw the look in (Y/n)'s eye as his rage was all on me. Ivory looked at me in being confused by what I was saying.

Ivory (Spirit): Soe...?

(Y/n)?: Are you saying... That YOU had some part in it!?

I stood there as I had a strong resolve to stand my ground and let what would have happened to Shalla, happen to me instead.

Soejammy: Yes. Because of me, they died...

The electricity in the air surged as sparks of lightning began to get intense.

Soejammy: If your rage is going to avenge your parents... If it's going to avenge Jasper and Iris...

I reached into my pocket and looked at the pocket watch I was given from the mysterious woman. I gripped it tightly while I looked at (Y/n).

Soejammy: THEN COME AT ME!!! STRIKE ME DOWN!!!

Neptune's point of view.

https://youtu.be/KYlxwSsiJZ4

I looked from above as I heard what was going on down below. Jammy had claimed to (Y/n) that he was the reason for causing Jasper and Iris' death in his book. It was something I didn't think I hear Jammy say to (Y/n) in a life time. I sensed a surge of energy course through (Y/n) as he was enraged by what Jammy said to him.

(Y/n)?: YOU BASTARD!!! YOU?! YOU'RE THE REASON WHY THEY DIED?!

Soejammy: Yes. Now come on! If you're done charging your attack... THEN ATTACK ME!!! STRIKE ME DOWN DAMN IT!!!

I watched on as Jammy stood there in wanting (Y/n) to strike him. I looked at (Y/n) as I could see a furious electrical field surging more from what Jammy told him.

Soejammy: Come on!! End my life!! I'm the one you want!!!

(Y/n)?: You... I trusted you... I SAVED you from that damn dino...!! And now, you tell me you're the reason my parents are dead...?! I'll kill you... I'LL MURDER YOU!!!

(Y/n) seems to have finished charging up the attack he was building up as he positioned himself to point his blade at Jammy. I became worried as (Y/n) was bent on ending Jammy's life. I looked towards Jammy as he didn't have a shred of fear in letting (Y/n) end him. There was silence in watching (Y/n) aim his sword at Jammy. As I felt my blood run cold in what I heard.

(Y/n)?: DIE!!! ROT IN HELL!!!

When I heard (Y/n) speak those words, I looked towards where Jammy was as I began on trying to fly towards Jammy.

Purple Heart (Neptune): JAMMY!!!

(Y/n) began running in a sprint as the lightning currents that he had built up surged around him. They created that of field that couldn't hurt him, but more that of a focused strike meant for one target. With how (Y/n) was fighting against Dionix, I thought it would be meant for the enemy. But now? It was heading for Jammy instead!

Purple Heart (Neptune): JAMMY! GET OUT OF THE WAY!! YOU'LL DIE IF YOU STAY THERE!! JAMMY!!!

Silver Heart (Ivory): Jammy!!

I watched on as (Y/n) closed in faster to Jammy with with his sword at the ready. The ground broke apart from the force generated in each step to move faster than I can fly. I kept trying to fly in meeting the speed (Y/n) was creating, but the way how the attack is, I could not meet the speed. I was falling behind fast as I looked towards Jammy. I saw he was looking at me as he gave a smile. A smile of having no regrets in what was about to happen. What followed next... Showed Jammy heading towards (Y/n). Jammy was intentionally running to (Y/n) as to end give (Y/n) what he wanted. I watched on as Jammy jumped towards (Y/n). I felt everything was going in slow motion as I watched the two get ever closer. I reached a hand out in complete worry about what would happen. Yet, there was nothing I could do.

Purple Heart (Neptune): JAMMY!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!

In a split second, the area around (Y/n) and Jammy exploded. I stopped flying as I saw the smoke encase around where (Y/n) and Jammy were. I felt a pain in my heart at what happened as my eyes welled up. Tears began to roll down my face with having to imagine Jammy being stabbed through by (Y/n)'s sword.

Purple Heart (Neptune): No... I... It can't... To happen to him...? No...

Silver Heart (Ivory): H-He protected Shalla... Even though we just met...

We both floated there. With having fought against Silver Heart, I could tell distinct things that made a difference in copies, with real people. Copying a person is never the same. You can clone someone many times, but each copy is never like the original. Had I realized this Silver Heart wasn't a copy...

Purple Heart (Neptune): He... Jammy was my friend... And I... I...

Silver Heart looked at me. She seemed to know how I was feeling as she was crying too. I didn't pay much attention to where Jammy's location was as seeing Jammy's fate would crush who I am. But suddenly, I heard Silver Heart gasp. A gasp that sounded like being surprised.

Silver Heart (Ivory): Look!

Silver Heart was pointing towards where the smoke was as it began to fade away. When it became clearer, my eyes began to grow wide in what I saw.

Purple Heart (Neptune): Wh-What...??

When the smoke clears, I could see that (Y/n) was on the ground. In front of him, I saw that Jammy was holding the Sapphire Spirit, and the sword was plunged into the ground. Jammy was covered in dust along with slight sensations of electricity appearing here and there. If what I saw wasn't lying to me, then... Then... I saw Jammy twitch as he moved. I saw him move his head up as he gasped for air. Him breathing meant he was alive!

Purple Heart (Neptune): Jammy!!

I began to fly as I rushed towards him quickly. He didn't have time to react as I changed back to my normal self and crashed into him.

Soejammy: OW!!! Neptune!! Watch where you're- AUGH!!!

I hugged Jammy tightly as I was super worried for this guy. Wouldn't anyone who just watched their friend about to get stabbed be worried like me??

Neptune: You big dummy!! Why did you do that?! You could have killed yourself!

I held onto Jammy as I heard him sigh and felt him place a hand on my head. Softly rubbing my head as if to ease my worries.

Soejammy: Nep... We need to talk... And I mean TALK about what had happened...

(Insert Neptune Sagashite here)

I looked at Jammy as the others began to come to us. Everyone seems to have calmed down as even Other Dio came over.

Shalla: Hey. Is he okay?

Both Jammy and myself looked at (Y/n) as he was still breathing. Just unconscious from the looks of it.

Soejammy: He is... But the actions he took today were not that of his own volition... It were that of his rage for what happened to his parents...

Shalla: What do you mean?? You better explain yourself.

Soejammy: Trust me... I'm gonna have to with our situation... Because I fear we're all in danger...

The sound of a portal opens above us as we all saw someone falling through the portal. The portal's location was above us as I quickly dodged out of the way.

Soejammy: Nep?!

Jammy however, became the cushion for whoever landed on him.

Jammy: AUGH!!! Who in the hell?!

???: Jammy? That you??

We looked as I recognized that voice as we looked to see who it was.

Soejammy: Wait... Dbzforlife16 ? That you?? The hell???

Dbzforlife16: Oh, hey Jam. How you doing? Where are we??

Capter 2. End.
