'I'm here again...' Thought Alex while he sat down on a bench on the dressing rooms while waiting for the announcement to begin.

While waiting, his mind remembered the first fight against White Heart. How she played around with him at first, how she underestimated him, and how Alex won because of it. Green Heart wouldn't commit that same mistake, and that only meant this fight would be far more difficult than the last.

He turned around and reached for his sword, noticing the various bandages around his body the brutal hits he suffered from White Heart's attacks. His left arm was heavily bandaged due to it popping out of it's socket. Thankfully he was much better. Three weeks had passed and now, he was set to fight the next CPU, Green Heart.

After his recollection from his past fight, the Planeptune sisters arrived to escort Alex to the arena for him to get ready. From outside the dressing rooms, he could already hear IF's voice introducing the match. This was his signal to get going. He then reached out for his sword again and grabbing it before getting up and heading towards the arena where Green Heart and IF were both already waiting on the center.

As he entered into everyone's line of sight, the people among the crowd began noticing him and talking about him. "There he is." "The kid's wearing the same torn clothing?" "That and his left shoulder is heavily bandaged." "It'll probably be a factor Lady Green Heart might use to her advantage."

While Alex approached Green Heart and stood in front of her, the CPU took a minute to analyze him. As took a look at Green Heart's appearance.

She had purple eyes and her hair was long and was different shades of green. It was kept in a ponytail, her fringe was normally seen above her eyes and her bangs were thick and caressed her face. Her attire was a white bodysuit that was open in the middle, exposing her stomach and underside of her breasts. Her sleeves were detached and were white and black in the entirety. Her gauntlets were longer than White Heart's with it covering the majority of her forearms with ease.

With the two sides already on the arena and ready to go, IF got between them and began to announce the battle. "Ladies and gentlemen! Today, the match between the swordsman Alex and the Goddess of Leanbox, Lady Green Heart, will begin!"

"Ohhhh man! I've waited weeks for this!" Said an audience member with excitement. "Finally...Finally, I get to see Lady Green Heart fight!"

"Just so you know, I won't be holding back..." Said Leanbox's CPU with a condescending tone "You better prepare yourself."

"Fighters, go take your places!"

Both Alex and Green Heart complied before turned around to take some distance from each other. Once far enough, they stopped and turned around to face each other. The count began to go down from ten as before, and the moment it reached zero, the match began.

Both fighters dashed forward, letting sword clash against spear multiple times as the two went all out from the get go. Green Heart's speed and precision was amazing, far beyond White Heart's, but Alex didn't lag behind either. Alex knew that if he held out and kept the pace going, he would eventually see that which would help him win the fight. 'Wait for it...wait for it...'

As the constant clash of attacks kept going. He knew there would be a moment when the CPU's defenses would go down. This was known as the moment when one attack or combo ended and the enemy was preparing for the next one. This was commonly known as the cool down period. Being able to discern when this would happen and be able to take advantage of it was the difference between victory and defeat in every battle. And just as he expected, he opened his eyes.

The moment had suddenly arrived

'There!'

After repelling the last attack, he took a step forward, grabbed the sword with both hands and used a strong vertical slice attack. But Green Heart's reflexes came into play as well and she managed to dodge the attack and fly to a safer distance in the last second, barely dodging the blade by inches. 'She dodged the Sharingan!? Damn it!'

"Nepu! That almost got her!" "Amaing...Alex is as fast as Vert!" said Nepgear with widened eyes. As the two sisters were amazed by Alex, Green Heart hovered at a safe distance from the young boy while analyzing the situation.

'This kid...he's nothing like before' She thought calmly 'Even though I'm going at him seriously in my goddess form, he can hold his ground without much problem and even counter attack...'

Leanbox's CPU looked down at Alex and realized the only way to make this a sure victory was to go further than mere physical attacks and spear skills.

"I guess I have no other choice..." She muttered to herself before raising raising her free hand and creating a small green whirlwind on her palm "Try taking on this! Sylhet spear!"

Green Heart then released the power held within her palm and created three sigils behind her, from which three massive spears emerged and shot out towards Alex. The young man jumped backwards and managed to dodge all three of them. But once he touched solid ground again, another spear flew towards him, forcing him to jump away again. He had to dodge a few more spears before she finally stopped.

When he raised his head, the young man saw the smirk on the CPU's face. At first he didn't get it, but then he noticed the glow coming from the spears that were left stuck on the ground before violently exploding around him. And although they took him by surprise, the explosions didn't really bring him any harm. But they raised a large dust cloud, making it nearly impossible for him to see his surroundings. 'Now then, let's see how you counter this!'

With everything set up, Green Heart dashed into the cloud and attacked him straight from the front. He managed to block it, but only barely. When the young boy tried to retaliate, Leanbox's CPU had already dashed out of his sight and possibly out of the dust cloud as well. But it didn't take long before she dashed in towards him again, but this time from a completely different angle and attacked with a piercing strike, which Alex didn't manage to block completely. This time the spear managed to graze him on the arm and caused him to sustain some damage along with a large cut on it. "Argh!"

The sudden feeling of his skin being cut open was a rather unpleasant one, but Alex didn't even have enough time to think about his wound. Without warning, Leanbox's CPU repeated the same process from early, and then did it again multiple times, always attacking from a different angle.

From the sidelines, the crowd could only see her popping out of the cloud, fly around it, and then enter from a completely different position. "Wait, wait, wait! I can't see a thing!" "What's going on!?" "Lady Green Heart is using tactics"

"That's no fair!" Complained Neptune as she got up and yelled at Green Heart "Hey Vert! That's playing dirty! I call cheat here!"

"Wa-Wait, Neptune!" Quickly said Planeptune's CPU candidate while holding her elder sister by the waist to keep her from falling over the edge Leanbox's CPU simply looked down at Neptune and scoffed at her. "Say what you will...Each one has their own way of fighting" She replied before turning her head and looking at the cloud again 'Although I must admit...Winning like this will probably leave a bad taste in my mouth...But defeat isn't an option!'

Green Heart then dashed towards the cloud once again while Alex kept trying his best to dodge the barrage of attacks coming from all sides.

Meanwhile, away from the eyes of the crowd and around the last row of seats, Noire watched with her arms crossed at the fight with a stern expression. 'Looks like Vert already has him on the ropes...' Thought Lastation's CPU before her focus went towards the cloud 'So, what will you do now?'

Meanwhile, for the young boy, this was turning into a rather desperate situation. He knew that blocking wouldn't work for much longer and despite being able to dodge them mostly, his stamina was already reaching the limits and some attacks managed to land on him. After a few minutes, Alex was already covered in cuts and bleeding wounds, some of them being notably deep. 'Damn it! If this keeps up, I'm going to lose...!' Thought the young man while constantly dodging the attacks 'What do I do now!?'

With his body already starting to feel numb from the bleeding, Alex closed his eyes and tried his best to focus on finding a solution. And Green Heart didn't fail to notice his focus wasn't placed on finding her anymore. 'It seems he's distracted...This is my chance!'

Seeing as the cloud wouldn't last much longer, Leanbox's CPU dashed towards Alex at full speed and without hesitation. She headed towards his right side, ready to impale him right in the temple. 'This will finish it!'

For a moment it seemed as though everything would be over. Until.

"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!"

And just like that, the cloud went away in an instant as Alex had blew the cloud away. 'W-What!? Fire!? H-How!? Who is this kid!?' Thought Green Heart amazed at how Alex blew the cloud away with fire.

With the cloud cleared away, Alex was finally visible for the crowd. "Ah! There he is!" Said Nepgear while pointing at him "Nepu! He's all cut up like a pizza!" "But at least he can see now." Said Neppgear.

Eventually, Green Heart eventually landed back on the ground. "It seems as if your special eyes are fading meaning your reaction time has dipped to normal human levels. That and you've suffered lots of cuts and wounds from my earlier assault. I must say this was fun while it lasted but now it's time to end it." Said Green Heart as she charged her final attack as Alex just stood there, eyes closed.

Not having many other options left, Green Heart dashed towards Alex. But instead of going straight like before, she entered the slight cloud and began spinning around him while hiding inside it, also making the dust rise higher and higher to cover a higher and higher area. 'I won't let you escape this time!'

The CPU kept cirlcing around him until she felt fully confident about having confused him. She then placed herself on his blind spot and dashed forward with the intent to make this the last attack. "Take this! Purpurascens Burst!"

She thrust her spear forward with all of her might, but things changed in a split second when Alex, Sharingan eyes glowing red, quickly turned around and deflected the attack with his sword. This caused the spear to fly off of her hands and into the air, leaving Green Heart wide open.

He then opened his eyes and saw, at that moment, time slowed down again as Alex opened his eyes and saw her in front of him. She was looking at him with her eyes as wide as plates. Green Heart saw as Alex's left hand began to emit sparks of electricity before finally becoming coated electricity. At that moment, Alex had told what he told White Heart. "Checkmate."

"Chidori!"

Alex's hand striked Green Heart right in the gut as she was electrocuted. The lighting was so powerful that another dust cloud formed leaving the crowd and the other goddesses clueless as to who won the fight.

(Me, Alex, and Neptune: It's pretty obvious who won.)

After it disappeared , Alex was standing in the center of the arena with his left hand still emitting sparks of elextricity. His hands were stained in blood as some of it dripped off of his fingers along with most of the wounds on him that bleed. His body felt numb and his breathing was heavy, but nonetheless, he was still standing.

"It's Alex! He's okay!" Said Nepgear with relief. "Then that means one thing!" Said Neptune with a smile while looking at the crater in the wall of the arena.

Once the dust around that area dissipated as well, everyone saw Leanbox's CPU, now reverted back to her human form, lying unconscious over a bed of rubble inside the hole formed by her impact against the wall with some rocks and dust laying over her. "La-Lady Vert!" Yelled IF as ran to check on Vert in a panic.

"First Lady White Heart and now Lady Green Heart too?" "This guy can't be human...can he?" said a random spectator while sweat dropping.

Once again, the crowd was left astonished by this unexpected outcome, And they weren't the only ones shocked by this. On the last row, Noire looked at Alex and lighting coated hand with an expression that was no different from that worn by everyone else. 'What was that attack!? It took Vert out in one hit!' Noire had seen many things, but, never in all her life had she seen a lighting coated jab so strong that it was a one hit KO.

After confirming Vert's state, IF walked back towards the center of the arena and announced the result of the match. "Lady Vert-I mean- The contender Lady Green Heart is no longer able to fight! This match's winner is Alex!"

The guild member raised Alex's fist up into the air. The crowd went ablaze with cheers as they witnessed a fantastic battle. They then waited for Alex to reconcile with Vert. 

Alex, full well knowing this, limped towards Vert and shook her. Vert eventually woke up and stood fine even though she took a massive jab to her stomach. "My, my. I'm sorry about all the injuries I gave you." Said Vert worrying whether Alex would be ready in time with all the injuries he sustained just now.

Alex reassured Vert. "Don't worry, I've been through worse, trust me." Said Alex with a proud smile. Just like Blanc, Vert was admired by his childish demeanor in battle. This time, Vert offered the fist bump and Alex gladly accepted it as the crowd went wild once again. Alex then stumbled and passed out peacefully in Vert's arms.

Next Time: Alex vs Black Heart.
