Third P.O.V.

June 24, 20XX

Location: Planeptune's Basilicom

Time: Noon

Over the last couple of days, (Y/N) had been hanging around Leanbox enjoying a little bit of relaxation time. He had fun playing games with Vert, touring around Leanbox more, and he even had a couple of conversations with S-Sha who he would find hanging with Dogoo Man and Dogoo Lady. Right now, (Y/N) is back in his hometown Planeptune walking at the entrance to the Basilicom being escorted by Vert.

(Y/N): *sighs* Back home.

Vert: Getting a sense of nostalgia coming back here?

(Y/N): A little bit. I mean I basically live here since it's been my home for a long time, but. . . it does feel weird coming back here after being gone for over a month. But at least I can look on the bright side to that. . . I was able to look at the other nations, become a better fighter, and best of all I was able to meet all of you.

Vert giggles from that the two entered the Basilicom and traveled up the elevator.

Vert: I'd say that is a very great way of seeing your journey so far, (Y/N). Of course, I am also very glad to have met you as well. It's not everyday a CPU even like myself comes across a charming young man who knows his skills in fighting such dangerous enemies on his own.

(Y/N) blushes a little bit from that as he rubs the back of his head in embarrassment.

(Y/N): Geez, you don't really need to flatter me, Vert. I was just doing what any other person probably would have done.

Vert: I beg to differ. The amount of effort that you put into protecting our nations is exceptional.

(Y/N): Well. . . thanks.

Vert giggles at (Y/N)'s embarrassment as the both reach the top of the Basilicom and the elevator door opens up.

Vert: You know. . . it's funny that you should mention the other CPUs.

They both walk out of the elevator and (Y/N) looks at Vert with a raised eyebrow.

(Y/N): Why's that?

As soon as they reached the room, Vert smiles as she looks straight forward and so does (Y/N) as he is suddenly surprised to see that the rest of the CPUs, CPU Candidates, and even IF and Compa have also arrived and once they noticed the two, the first to speak up was Neptune.

Neptune: There he is! Our buddy boy who's finished his grand tour!

(Insert Opening Here)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Neptune runs up and hugs (Y/N) surprising him before he looks at the rest of the group.

(Y/N): What are you guys all doing here?

Neptune: Well, duh! We came here to give you kudos for helping us out, (N/N).

Blanc: Well. . . it wasn't the only thing we were called here for, but Neptune insisted that we come here to give you some thanks too.

Noire: I mean, it's not that I came here because I would feel left out or anything, but. . . it's good to see you again (Y/N).

Uni: *smiles* Welcome back, (Y/N).

Rom: Hi again, Mister (Y/N).

Ram: You happy to see us?

(Y/N): *smiles* You kidding? Of course. I honestly wasn't expecting this.

Neptune: The moment Histy told me that you were coming back, I just couldn't help myself to grab the rest of our compadres.

Nepgear: It's great to see that you were able to make it back here safely, (Y/N). Actually, while we're on that topic, Histoire also told us that she has something to tell you (Y/N).

(Y/N): Where is she?

Nepgear: She's busy in the Sharicite Chamber for now. I think it was something that I told her the day we took down Leanbox's Virus Empire.

(Y/N): I see. Well, I'll hear what she has to ask me.

Neptune: Let's just hope that she doesn't ruin this little reunion by talking your ears off. I've been waiting for you to come back to home base ever since you started your run around Gamindustri.

IF: If by waiting, you mean just avoiding work and playing around like usual?

Neptune: A-Aw, come on Iffy. Y-You know that I was thinking about (N/N) some of the time he left his hub world.

IF sighs while (Y/N) chuckles walking next to IF.

(Y/N): Same old Nep, I take it?

IF: *smiles* Same old, Nep.

Neptune: Hey! I'm not the only one who hasn't changed around here, I mean if you took a look at Noire's face, she missed (N/N) just as much!

Noire: *blushes* What the. . . Shut up!! No, I didn't! Don't go saying that out of nowhere you idiot!

Neptune: Aw~ She's blushing~ I think we just served up one large cup of tsundere to go~

Noire: Why you. . . Get over here!

Noire started chasing Neptune around the Basilicom as the others just watched and (Y/N) sweatdrops with a nervous smile before looking at Uni.

(Y/N): I guess its safe to say that none of you guys have really changed at all.

Uni nervously smiles and crosses her arms.

Uni: Uh, well, I don't think we plan to either.

Ram: Nepgear told us that you guys went inside this huge tower and was challenged to a game.

Vert: In my opinion, I wouldn't necessarily call it a game. That's what our opponent liked to call it though.

(Y/N): It was a hassle, but thanks to some of the power I obtained, those bastards didn't stand a chance.

Rom: Um, Mister (Y/N)? Miss Nepgear also told us that she rode on a hoverboard with you. Is that true?

(Y/N): Oh, I didn't tell you guys yet, but that was my first time actually using my hoverboard for something besides transportation. Nepgear was lucky that I was an expert with it though, she almost fell of a couple of times.

Nepgear becomes flustered from being mentioned like that.

Nepgear: P-Please don't bring that up. . .

(Y/N): Heh heh, I'm just messing with you, Gear.

Compa: Even though what you went through sounded pretty tough, you look to still be in one piece, (N/N).

(Y/N): I've adapted ever since our first fight, so to put in some gaming terms, I've leveled up higher than you probably expected.

IF gives him a skeptical look.

IF: Still, you weren't too reckless out there were you?

(Y/N): Um. . . *nervous laugh* does repeatedly punching a giant robot's head, entering a cold labyrinth with sleeveless clothes, or taking on the boss of a fake game tower at first glance count as reckless?

IF: *sighs* I thought so. . .

Uni: You've should've seen him. He looked like a complete doofus thinking that slamming his fist on metal was going to do something. . . and yet it did.

(Y/N) glares at Uni's comment on him.

(Y/N): You know, you could word in a way that doesn't make me sound so pathetic.

Uni smirks as she crosses her arms and turns. As everybody was still conversing with each other, suddenly a current tiny tome flies into the room with a serious look on her face.

Histoire: Excuse me? But may I please have everyone's attention.

Everybody, but two which was Noire and Neptune who were still playing their tiny game of tag turned to give Histoire's attention. Histoire notices the two not listening as she puffs her cheeks in annoyance before raising her tone a bit more.

Histoire: Neptune! Noire! Please knock it off this instant!

That got both of them to see Histoire and stop their tiny little fun as Neptune nervously waves at the tiny tome.

Neptune: H-Hey, Histy. Ya finished with your research already?

Noire: Grrr. . . look what you did. I had to get scolded by Histoire because of you again.

Neptune: Whoa! Don't point your fingers too soon, Accuser Heart. You're the one who can't take a joke about being a lonely loner.

Noire: Who's a loner?!

Blanc sighs and rolls her eyes at Neptune and Noire's constant bickering.

Blanc: They're just gonna keep arguing. I'd say get started without them Histoire.

Histoire: Hmph. Very well then.

(Y/N): Long time no see, Histoire.

Histoire: *smiles* It is great to see that you have returned, (Y/N). You have done quite a satisfactory job at restoring the Shares to the nations and aiding the CPUs in their fight against the Virus Empire.

Ram: You should've seen how cool he looked when he facing one of those dummy generals!

Rom: Yeah, he looked pretty cool.

Histoire: That aside. It is great to that with your Shares returned from what was stolen, you all can finally keep your goddess forms without the aid of (Y/N)'s powers to hold them in.

After that sentence though, Histoire put on a more serious composure.

Histoire: However, I'm afraid that we have not won quite yet.

Nepgear: Huh? What do you mean?

Histoire: While we were able to push back the Virus Empire from taking over Gamindustri, it appears that they are still quite a threat in each nation, even though we took down their power sources. People still have reports of games getting corrupted by suspicious malware or bugs that have been digging inside of game data. With those statements not going down, I sadly have to state that this war is far from over.

IF: I'll have to agree with that. Getting back the Shares is great and all, but unless we contain the actually culprit behind all of this. It'll just be wash, rinse, repeat.

Histoire: That is correct, IF.

Neptune: Oh, so what? I mean, it was obvious that the author wouldn't let this book end so soon. Beating four bosses in a row that took some serious skill from our rookie is fine, but games and stories don't end until that final boss is vanquished into monster white dust.

Histoire glares daggers at Neptune making her flinch.

Histoire: Did I ask a question?

Neptune: Sorry.

Vert: Well we know who those generals are from the information (Y/N) provided us, but that's all we really know about them.

Blanc: If they're generals though, then it wouldn't surprise me if a leader was behind all of this. All armies are commanded by a leader and as we should know as leaders of our nations, we command every soldier of ours to take the necessary orders we give them.

(Y/N): She's right actually. These generals kept mentioning some. . . "master" and we don't know who that master is.

Noire: Well, I highly doubt that they would show their face to the public if they want to keep their true actions hidden.

Neptune: *giggles* You'd know something about those kinds of things, wouldn't you~?

Noire: Quiet!

Histoire: There is no doubt though that if we don't find out who this master is soon enough, then we'll likely have to suffer another breakthrough of drained Shares.

Blanc: Maybe. . . but I doubt that considering that their motives were very thorough. It's not likely they'll try the same trick twice with the reactor cores.

Nepgear: They not only possess Anti-Crystals, but also Anti-Crystal utilities too.

Histoire: That leads me to my next question that I have for you, (Y/N). Something shocking rather happened when you, Vert, and Nepgear were fighting the general in Leanbox. She told me that when you were caught in the grasp of the Anti-Crystal that he had, it apparently wasn't able to phase through your body at all and turned into a Share Crystal. That's something that even I cannot explain. Would you care to elaborate on what happened?

(Y/N) looks down for a second thinking to himself before looking back up at Histoire slightly perplexed.

(Y/N): It's hard to explain. While that thing on my hand did feel kind of painful at first, it wasn't until I put some energy into my body and I mean LOTS of energy, that all of a sudden it turned into a Share Crystal like you said. That's when I went all out and used the rest of my stamina to take out Malware and the reactor itself as well.

Histoire was surprised to hear that as her eyes popped open a bit.

Histoire: You mean. . . you just gave it enough Share energy that itself was able to change?

(Y/N): Yeah, can you tell why that happened?

Histoire: (The Share energy in his bloodstream, the unusual powers, even giving Share energy to not only the goddesses, but other things as well? I may need to research things about this a little more.) I'm afraid not. I don't have a hunch either, but in three days I may be able to come up with a solution of why that is the case.

(Y/N): In that case. . . what should I do now?

Histoire: I know it may be selfish for me to ask this of you (Y/N), but will you assist us in helping us find who is behind the whole catastrophe? I will give you a choice again like last time. You can return back home if you want or you can extend your stay here at the Basilicom while also helping us fight the Virus Empire once more.

Everbody around looked at (Y/N) as the boy himself looked around at his friends before looking down and putting his hands on his hips thinking about his decision to fight for them again. He could go home right now and not have to risk his life anymore and go back to living the life that he once had or he could keep on battling like he's been doing. Silence went on for a minute before (Y/N) has a sad look on his face.

(Y/N): I'm sorry everybody. . .

The CPUs and CPU Candidates all disappointed looks from that as (Y/N) was going to go back home.

Histoire: We completely understand (Y/N).

However. . . (Y/N) then smirks as he said something completely different next.

(Y/N): Sorry that I'm actually saying that I'm NEVER going to stop fighting for you guys!

This caught all of them off guard as it brought some smiles and some peeved looks from (Y/N) tricking them like that. Neptune cheers as she goes up and wraps an arm around (Y/N).

Neptune: Ha ha! I knew ya couldn't resist wanting to be ol' Nep-ko's boon companion again! We're gonna Nep and smash those baddies like ice climbing hikers with hammers!

Vert: My, (Y/N). You almost had us there.

Blanc: *frowns* That was cheap, (Y/N). Really cheap.

Noire: Yeah! I don't think tricking us like that with a humorous response like that is making anybody laugh in here!

Noire then blushes and turns her head to the side to hide it.

Noire: But, if you're going to stay and help, I guess I can appreciate the extra help.

Neptune: In that case, what'll be next on our mission's list, Histy.

Histoire: I want to find out first how exactly our enemy has the ability to make all three of the dimensions collide into one world. This was rather different from when we had our conflict with Uzume's other self.

Neptune: Kurome? Now that you mention it, it does seem a little fishy that the author is taking elements from the last game and putting them into this book in a more mild fashion design.

Nepgear: Well, if they're collided. . . do you think we'll have to ask Uzume herself?

Histoire: Either that or we could ask another individual who knows about dimensions colliding and since my other self's psyche is linked with mine, you should know exactly who I'm referring to.

It took the CPUs a moment to know what Histoire was talking about before all of them except for Neptune let out a loud groan.

Blanc: Really? Her?

Noire: Honestly, she's the last person I would want to see again after what she did. Especially since she allied with that creep of a robot.

Blanc: Not only that, but she apologizes way too damn much. She couldn't even lead her team before.

(Y/N): Creep? Team? Robot?? I'm not following.

Nepgear: A long time ago we faced against the CPU of the ancient nation of Tari known as Rei Ryghts. While she may appear timid and not really much of talker, she can get rather psychotic when she get's so much power.

Neptune: Nep Jr.'s right. I nearly had to watch an inferno of my nation going down until me and her arrived back.

Vert: It may be rather unorthodox to think of a plan like that, but. . . I suppose we don't have any better options.

Histoire: Very well. Since Plutia resides not too far from here, I shall send her a call to find the leader of the former Seven Sages.

Neptune: *smiles* Now that's what I'm talking about! We get to see Plutie! And P-ko too!

Vert: I do want to take a visit to see little Peashy as well.

Blanc: It has been awhile since we've visited them, hasn't it? I guess I can look on the bright side to this.

Noire: Hey! Don't think you guys can just agree on this without me! B-Besides, it would look awkward if I didn't show up as well.

Neptune: It's settled then! We'll go and see Plutie and P-ko so we can find out about this dimensional whatevers!

Histoire: Very good, everyone. With that being said, you all are free to go back to your nations. I will follow you all up with an update in just three days.

The CPUs from the other nations voice agreements to that as they all take their leave while dragging their little sisters home with them too. After they left, Histoire turned her attention back to (Y/N).

Histoire: You are officially a member of this Basilicom, (Y/N). Your room is just how you left it while you were traveling (Y/N). So I hope that you enjoy your extended stay. Thank you once again for providing us the extra assistance for this war.

(Y/N): No prob, Histoire. You can count on me. I'll help out however I can.

Neptune: While we have the time (N/N), let's spend our time chatting while eating some delicious pudding. Compa, you don't mind making some for us do you?

Compa shakes her head with a smile.

Compa: Of course not, Nep-Nep. But do you really think that you need that pudding now. . .? Didn't you have some an hour ago. . .?

Neptune: What? It's to welcome back (N/N) from his little world tour, that's all.

(Y/N) chuckles from that. As much as Neptune does tend to make jokes when they're not the best time, she at least knows how to brighten the mood when necessary.

Time: Night

(Y/N)'s reunion with Neptune and the others went about as much as he expected. He told Neptune, IF, and Compa about how he was able to get around fighting the Virus Empire in both Lowee and Leanbox and they were all pretty impressed by his accomplishments and to be honest, he was pretty proud of himself too. They all ate some pudding that Compa made and it was indeed very good as (Y/N) was happy to get to spend time with his friends again.

However once night time came, (Y/N) felt more tired than usual as Histoire escorted him back to his room where she had him stay at when Neptune and Nepgear first brought him to the Basilicom. He thanked her for taking him to his room so he could sleep as he rests peacefully inside of his bed wondering what his next task is going to be when helping the goddesses. What he doesn't however, is that the same purple ghost that he saw in his dreams floats right next to him with a conflicted look.

Purple Ghost: (I don't want to show you (Y/N), but. . . I have no other choice.)

She flies right inside of (Y/N)'s body as the watch on his wrist suddenly glowed the symbol of the Sharicite and (Y/N) himself started grunting as he struggles to get a good night's sleep like last time.

(Y/N)'s P.O.V.

Location: (Y/N)'s Dream, Gamindustri Graveyard

I slowly open my eyes and I yawn as I'm wide awake and I rub my eyes to clear my vision as once I get a clear view. . . I was in the Gamindustri Graveyard again and this time, I was actually in it and not seeing it from afar like I did before. This must mean that ghost or whatever she is, is trying to get me to see these weird illusions again. I stand up and I see that I'm still in my casual clothes meaning that this is definitely the same kind of dreams.

(Y/N): Alright, you naughty little spirit! Come on out! You said that when you do this again that we're not going have any more bullshit! So show yourself!

Purple Ghost: I'm already here, dummy.

I turn around a bit startled from her appearing right behind me like that as I then glare at her.

(Y/N): I told you that I'm not in the mood for jokes this time!

Purple Ghost: That one was actually unintentional.

(Y/N): *rolls eyes* I want to know the truth and I want it now! Just what the hell is going on and why am I the one who is seeing these things!

She crosses her arms and gives the same glare back at me.

Purple Ghost: If you think being impatient is going to help you get your answers more then your really pushing it.

(Y/N): You're the one causing these dreams to form in my mind! Why are we in the Gamindustri Graveyard anyway??

Suddenly, a loud roar that was enough to cause a tremor across the ground makes my eyes pop wide open.

(Y/N): W-What was that?!

Purple Ghost: It came sooner than I thought!

(Y/N): What came?!

She then turns her attention back to me as she floats right in front of my face and points to my chest.

Purple Ghost: What I'm about to show you is something that YOU yourself is going to have to figure out on your own (Y/N)! It may be my responsibility to show you these dreams, but it's yours. . . to figure out who exactly you are!

That threw me in a loop. . . figure out who I am? That doesn't make any sense. While seeing another me is confusing enough, these images of myself appearing like that isn't ringing a bell to me at all. All that I can recall is that this Gamindustri Graveyard feels familiar. However, the roar grew as I turn towards the direction it was coming from and I see a much more mature looking Uranus fly in my direction which concerned me as this is the first time I'm seeing her in HDD. She wasn't alone though as the other CPU girls that I saw in my dream were flying right towards her too.

Uranus (HDD): Don't let it get across the border!

Jade Heart (Gyra): What in the heck is this thing?!

Gray Heart (Nesta): You're asking me?! It was our damn task to investigate in the first place!

I then see Cream who had a weapon of a futuristic bow and arrow to shoot something and judging by her next reaction, it must have had no effect at all.

Silver Heart (Cream): All I can really say is that it's very durable!

A loud crash is then heard right near us and the roars were so loud at this point that I cover my ears before I look back in the direction it came from with a worried look. It can't be good of those CPUs are worrying too. Large rapid tremors were made as they sounded more like steps and I take a couple of steps back in fear of what I'm about to see and suddenly. . .

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Something jumped up out of nowhere right in front of all of us and when I looked up, my jaw slowly dropped at how big this thing is. It was a monstrous creature that looked like a purple, orange, and red beast. If anybody were to look at it, it was like an upside down controller with a large red eye in the middle of it.

This was so freaky that I was devastated by just how hideous it is up close. However, something weird strikes inside of my head as I grab in slight pain. This monster. . . it's the exact look as the Deity of Sin, Arfoire that the CPUs fought a long time ago. For some reason though, this creature is just getting me boiled up with rage as I summon out my sword and get into a battling stance. The ghost sees this and flies in front of me.

Purple Ghost: What do you think you're doing?! Are you insane?!

(Y/N): Get out of my way! I don't know why, but my gut is telling me that thing is not only dangerous, but looking for a fight with me!

Purple Ghost: You are in NO freakin' close of a condition to fight that thing! It's-

(Y/N): Shut it! That thing is getting a one-way ticket to hell!

I run past the ghost as she reaches a hand out for me.

Purple Ghost: (Y/N)!! STOP!!

Seeing that this thing is way bigger than I am, I figure that I should knock it down my the legs as that was the very first thing that I go for as I start swinging my sword at it legs. I give all of the strength that I can muster since Cream said earlier that it was durable. I attack it all I can. . . but it doesn't even seem to be feeling anything that I'm throwing at it as it turns to me. My eyes widened from this.

(Y/N): Uh oh. . .

I immediately dive out of the way of a stomp that it tries to crush me with and I only end up getting hit by the shockwave of that stomp. I get knocked back a fair distance as I roll across the ground with my sword still in my hand. Arfoire then roars out completely with mindless anger.

Deity of Sin: GRRRRAAAAAAAHHHH!

Uranus (HDD): It looks to be distracted by something! Let's take this opportunity and try to find it's weakness!

Gray Heart (Nesta): Good luck with that!

Gray Heart pulls out a futuristic scythe and starts swinging at it, the best that this could, but not even her attacks seem to penetrate this monster either.

Gray Heart (Nesta): This thing looks to be indestructible!

Uranus (HDD): It doesn't matter! We were asked to investigate this place to see what the cause was with it forming in the first place! It doesn't appear that will go down without a fight though!

Jade Heart (Gyra): Agreed!

She pulls a large futuristic staff and swings it around and Uranus summons a sword similar to Neptune's goddess form. They all then go on the offensive to try and take this thing out and seeing that they had the same idea that I had, I get up and run back into the action, but not before the ghost from before stops me again.

Purple Ghost: Stay out of this! I mean it!

(Y/N): You heard them! We can't let this thing get anywhere close to their nations!

Purple Ghost: Do you even know what that thing is?!

(Y/N): The Deity of Sin, Arfoire! Learned about it in a history class!

Purple Ghost: This is bigger than some lesson taught by a teacher, (Y/N)! You really need to-

(Y/N): Not the time to argue, dammit!!!

She flinches from me yelling at her.

(Y/N): When there's something that I see that I know could cause trouble for the innocent! I'm gonna do the right thing! Those CPUs up there are no exception!

I run right past her and my fist glows (F/C) before it then glows a bigger golden aura.

(Y/N): Golden Knuckle!

I jump up towards Arfoire and punch her right in the side as it causes a small shockwave, but she doesn't even flinch from my attack shocking me as that using can phase through even metal.

(Y/N): What the hell?! That didn't work?!

Arfoire backhands me with her giant claw making me yell out in pain. I get sent straight towards the ground as my clothes are now getting ripped and a couple of cuts are appearing on my body as I casted a Heal spell on myself. The other CPUs seemed to be having it rough too as Silver Heart shoots an arrow beam straight at Arfoire and it just deflects off of her. She swipes a claw at her, knocking her away but Gray Heart catches her to break her fall. Uranus then blocks another strike from the Deity of Sin as she even unleashes a combo of sword strikes before finishing it off with an overhead slash. All that did was tilt Arfoire back as she roars at Uranus.

Uranus (HDD): Ngggh! It's. . . too. . . strong!

Silver Heart (Cream): So what now??

Uranus (HDD): Hit it hard, hit it fast, hit it A LOT! I'm sure we can weaken it somehow!

Jade Heart (Gyra): That "somehow" better be soon as I don't if even all four of us is enough to keep it back!

All of the CPUs continue to fly around to find an opening as I jump over a large flying boulder sent my way before I roll forward to avoid a stomp caused by the Deity of Sin. I then take a swing at it's legs, but the impact of my sword with it's legs this time made me flinch a little. The large creature then spots me and raises both of it's frontal legs before coming down at me with a large crash that hit me real hard.

(Y/N): ACK!!!

I was sent rolling across the ground as now I have more than just a few cuts as some blood was even leaking out of the cuts that I had earlier. This thing really does hit hard, but I'm not giving in just quite yet.

(Y/N): *grunts* (Arfoire is as strong as they all say she is. . . But how come these CPUs can't beat it either?? They should be kicking that things ass. Well, if they need more power then I guess letting out all of the energy from my watch should do it!)

I press my watch as it sends more power through my body and I start to levitate up into the air to join the rest of the CPUs in their battle. I pull out my sword as I send a couple of kicks right below its face before I make my sword glow golden and try to hit it hard with enough with a sword strike, but as I do I get a large smack across my body as counterattack making me yell out in pain as my aura fades too. I crash straight to the ground and groan as I lift my head up before trying to get back into the fight. The purple ghost saw the condition that I was in and she was not happy at all.

Purple Ghost: Are you even listening anymore?! It's futile, (Y/N)! Stop trying to prove something!

(Y/N): This has nothing with trying to prove something, dammit! You were the one who gave me this dream, remember?!

Purple Ghost: And I said NOTHING about you having to fight! It's their fight! Not yours!

I was about to retort to that before I see Uranus get slammed to the ground by one of the arms of the Deity of Sin. Another shock came into my head as I glare back at it and I yell before recklessly running back into the battle.

Purple Ghost: STOP! You are only hurting yourself, (Y/N)!

I didn't listen as I run back up to the Deity of Sin and seeing that still have some power left, I put my sword behind my back as I wind up an skill slowing by spinning around slowly before picking up the pace. Once I reached a good speed, I put energy into my body and jump into the air before coming back down to do Slamming Surge on this beast. It caused a really loud shockwave, especially since I put some energy into my body to increase my attack power. The Deity of Sin apparently felt that as it roars out. . . but not in pain, in anger. It balls up it's claws into fists and put my guard up to block it, but it only ended up in failure as I get sent flying back where I came running up from before.

I was now in no condition to fight at all as I do my best to support myself off of the ground. Blood was crawling on me as now my clothes are stained with it too. I'd probably be in a better state if I had my combat attire on, but this happened so abruptly that of course I wouldn't be prepared for something as dangerous as this. I cough up some blood as I grasp my arm as I lay on my back not being able to fight anymore. The purple ghost flies in front of me with a glare on it's face.

Purple Ghost: I told you that you would only hurt yourself you idiot!

(Y/N): Well. . . I had to do something!

Purple Ghost: No you didn't! (Y/N), stop thinking that I'm putting this in your mind just so that you can experience it! How do you not realize it yet?!

(Y/N): Realize what?!

Purple Ghost: Still not convinced?! Well, watch what happens next!

Both me and the ghost look towards the scene to see the CPUs fairly injured from fighting the Deity of Sin as Uranus was right in front of her friends holding her sword out towards the Deity of Sin.

Deity of Sin: GRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHH!

Gray Heart (Nesta): *grunts* Anymore ideas, genius?!

Uranus (HDD): I'm. . . working. . . on it. . .

Silver Heart (Cream): No matter how hard we hit, it doesn't appear to even be weak in the slightest. . . in any case. . . I think it got stronger. . .

Jade Heart (Gyra): If we don't contain it though, something worse may happen. . .

Silver Heart (Cream): Y-Yes, but. . . I don't think I have enough energy left to withstand anymore attacks from something that powerful. . .

Gray Heart (Nesta): I hate to admit it, but I'm feeling sluggish too. I'd say we disengage!

Uranus (HDD): That's too risky!

Gray Heart (Nesta): What other choice do we have, huh?! We'll die if we keep resisting against this strong monster!

Jade Heart (Gyra): I doubt that's even a regular monster!

Uranus (HDD): Well. . . we have to do something!

The Deity of Sin roars at them as it jumps high up into the air and was about to slam itself into the CPUs shocking them.

Uranus (HDD): Brace yourselves!!!

All of them guard each other from taking an attack that hard and before the Deity of Sin could come crashing down at them. . . a large golden laser shoots out of nowhere at the Deity of Sin and it continues to try to damage it, but it even though it wasn't able to break through the energy, it still wasn't getting hurt in the slightest at all. The four CPUs and even myself look to see that someone has come to the rescue.

???: I told you that you should've let me come along!

That voice kind of familiar as the person who steps out. . . was actually a CPU that looked really different as they had some flowing golden, spiky hair and some blue eyes with power symbols in them like the rest of the goddesses, but his was more of a male the more I heard of it.

Uranus (HDD): Why are you here?!

???: I knew something wasn't right when I saw that a rather big battle like this was taking place! You all don't look like you're in any condition to fight anymore either! Listen, get back to your nations and stay there! I'll deal with this problem you're having right now!

The male flies ahead of them as Uranus stares at him with astonishment. Jade Heart puts her hand on her shoulder gesticulating that they need to get going now. Uranus look at him again before flying off. I saw them all fly off before looking back at this CPU as they focus a ton of energy into their hands before it expands all over their body and as the Deity of Sin attempts to try and attack this guy, he doesn't flinch as his aura suddenly sends a large wave of energy towards Arfoire, which pushes her far back deep into the graveyard, putting her back into slumber.

The male then breathes heavily from doing that as he floats back down to the ground looking out at where he sent the Deity of Sin, Arfoire.

???: I doubt that's going to hold it for long. I better tell Uranus more about this when I get back to where Planeptune is.

I was watching the whole thing with a surprised look, but what became more surprising. . . was that when he changed back into his normal form. . . he looked exactly like me as it made me gasp before the purple ghost flew right in front of me.

Purple Ghost: Do you see it now? Any clues?

I raise an eyebrow from that.

Purple Ghost: Clues from who exactly that other you is?? It should be really obvious at this point!

I was mad at this point as while I know some things that I already know. . . nothing was getting into my head about this as I glare at the ghost.

(Y/N): Obvious?! OBVIOUS?! You pull me out of nowhere into a dream where I see myself with some girl that I don't really know!! You show me the Gamindustri Graveyard!! And now you're showing THIS!! I HAVE NO CLUE AT ALL WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO PROVE HERE!! THESE DREAMS DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE!! I MEAN YOU DON'T REALLY MAKE SENSE FOR GIVING ME THESE DREAMS IN THE FIRST PLACE!! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!

The ghost growls in anger from my outburst as she appears right in front of me to pick me up by the collar as she yells back at me.

(Y/N): Woah!

Purple Ghost: You dumbass!!! Yes you do!!!

A light then shines all around her like when the CPUs transform. I look away from the blinding light and once it dims back down, I look at the ghostly figure again as she has now revealed herself and once she does. . . my eyes pop wide open in extreme shock. I saw a beautiful girl in front of me with long purple hair, her eyes had a color of indigo, and she was wearing short lilac and black armor, black fingerless gloves, and some purple short-shorts too. It was Uranus herself as she was giving me a really serious glare. The moment I looked into her face, a huge image flashed in my head as I grab in pain from this and Uranus talks as she puts her hand on her hip.

Uranus: You should know me as well as you should know what's going on around here, (Y/N)! This isn't a dream. . . you should see that by now! . . .It's a memory! Your memories!

The pain in my head stopped as I look back up at Uranus still shocked from seeing her in the flesh like this as I back up from her.

Uranus: I didn't show you these because I wanted to! You need to remember you exactly you are, (Y/N)! The life that you think that you had for seventeen years. . . is false and I just proved that!

(Y/N): I. . . I. . .

Uranus: Now. . . it's your turn to find those clues! Remember who you are, (Y/N)! Remember!!

Uranus starts to fade away as that I reach out in vain for her.

(Y/N): Uranus, wait!!!

I yell that out, but as I do. . . I suddenly sit up quickly back in the waking world in my bed in the Basilicom while gasping. I look around to see that I was back in reality again as I see this, I put my hand on my head with worry on my face.

(Y/N): This can't be true. . . I thought. . . I thought I was just a special kid who was able to live his dream fighting with the goddesses. . .

I get a serious look on my face as I needed to confirm this for sure and there was only one place I could go. . . my original home in Planeptune where my foster parents are. . . I try to get up from my bed, but as I do. . . I could still feel the pain I took from battling Arfoire as I still see all of the cuts and bruises that I obtained. I didn't really care though as I needed to know this as soon as possible even if it kills me.

Third P.O.V.

Location: Planeptune City

Around the city at night, a motorcycle was heard driving across the streets in Planeptune as it revs up across the streets before stopping at a curb. It was revealed to be IF who also had Compa riding as a passenger right behind her.

IF: Sorry, I had to drag you out here so late at night, Compa. I would've had you back home by now if one of my clients didn't give me such a tedious task to do so late.

Compa: It's not a bother, Iffy. I really enjoy getting anytime to spend with you or Nep-Nep.

She says as she hugs IF from behind who responds with a chuckle.

IF: *chuckles* Oh, yeah? Well in that case, I'm glad to have you as company too.

Compa smiles from that before she sees something in the distance and points to it.

Compa: Hey, Iffy. Look over there.

IF looks where Compa was pointing and they both see a familiar looking rookie soldier of theirs as (Y/N) was walking the streets really injured as he tried to cover up his cuts the best that he could while trudging along the sidewalks.

Compa: It's (N/N).

IF: What's he doing out here? He should be back in the Basilicom with Nep.

Compa: You think he's sleepwalking?

IF: That's a little too strange for him to be sleepwalking. He looks pretty banged up too. How in the world did that happen?

Compa: He does look really hurt. . . What happened to him so soon. . .? Should we follow him?

IF continues to stare at the injured (Y/N) trying to walk as she gets a serious glare on her face wondering what he could be up to.

Location: (L/N)'s Residence

After walking many blocks from the Basilicom, (Y/N) finally arrived back at his original home where his foster parents are. He wanted some answers about his true identity and because Uranus woke him up, this is his best bet now. He walks up to the front of the door and he holds a fist up towards the door.

(Y/N): (Please don't be asleep. . .)

(Y/N) knocks on the door to his parents' house in a way so that he doesn't accidentally smash it down, but someone from inside could hear if they were inside. He backed up and simply just waited to see if anybody would answer. After waiting for about a minute, (Y/N) sighs and lowers his head in defeat, thinking that no one would answer and that his folks were asleep. . . until he heard some footsteps which made him look back up at the door surprised. The door then suddenly opens as the one who answers was his mother as she peeks out to see who came. Once her eyes lay in contact with (Y/N), she gasped as she puts her hand to her mouth.

(M/N): Y-You're. . .

(Y/N): *smiles* Yeah, it's been so long. . . mother.

(M/N)'s eyes started to tear up as her adopted son is literally right in front of her after being gone for a couple of months from them. She immediately wraps her arms around (Y/N) who also hugs her back as she was sniffling a little.

(M/N): *sniff* (Y-Y/N), you have no idea how much I missed you! *sniff*

(Y/N): I missed you too. . . a lot.

Once they broke the hug, (M/N) still had some tears dropping out of her eyes as she just couldn't process the fact that (Y/N) is right here in front of her. She then looks around his body with a worried look.

(M/N): You look to be in great pain, sweetie.

(Y/N): It's nothing. . . This happened to me every so often.

(M/N): Still though. You can't be walking around the town looking so hurt. I'll bandage you right up, make you some soup, and give you some rest as well, okay?

(Y/N) sighs and shakes his head before smiling back at his mother.

(Y/N): You always did love to spoil me. How can I say no to such a generous offer?

(Y/N)'s mother smiled from this as they both walked inside of the house for (Y/N) to get healed up from her mother. Right now, (Y/N) was back in his old room sitting in his bed with some bandages patched up all over his body. His mother even fixed him up some chicken noodle soup which he didn't mind eating at all as he takes another sip from a spoon. (M/N) even told her husband about (Y/N)'s arrival back home as they are both now sitting right beside (Y/N) in his room keeping him company.

(F/N): Look at how bulked up you've become, champ! You were really fighting alongside every single goddess all around Gamindustri?

(Y/N): *nods* That's what happened.

(M/N): Miss Histoire told us all about how you were going to fight with Lady Neptune and that you helped her take down the Virus Empire that's been trying to liberate Planeptune and the other nations as well. Was it fun?

(Y/N): I wouldn't call escaping death four times in a row. . . well five, counting the encounter I had with K-Sha who is Lastation's Gold Third, "fun". I do get what you're trying to ask me though. Yeah, it was an adventure that I went on with the goddesses and I even volunteered to continue helping out with fighting in the war.

(M/N): That's excellent, sweetie!

(F/N): I mean seriously! If we told your friends about this, I doubt that they would have similar reactions to ours.

(Y/N): Speaking of which, how have Kazuki and Ayame been? It's been awhile since I've seen the two of them as well.

(F/N) nervously chuckles from that while (M/N) sweats a little. (Y/N) could tell just what they were thinking as he smirks a little.

(Y/N): Ayame's been having to keep Kazuki in check a lot, I take it?

(F/N): I guess you could say that. . .

(Y/N): *sighs* Why am I not surprised? He's not very smart anyway, so I'm not really concerned about it.

All of them laugh from this as it feels great for all of them to be reunited like this.

(M/N): Still, it caught us off guard that you came to visit us. Especially when you refused to come back because you wanted to pursue your dream in fighting for Gamindustri like a warrior.

(F/N): And yet you were given special treatment. . . You were right beside the goddesses the entire time!

(Y/N) smiles and let's out a small chuckle before he suddenly frowns as he knows the real reason of why he actually decided to return home, but his foster parents didn't. His parents didn't fail to notice the sudden change in his mood as they expressed concern for him.

(M/N): Everything alright, honey?

(Y/N) stayed silent a bit more before he placed his soup on a coffee table nearby his bed and he turns to place his feet down on the floor while sitting on his bed.

(Y/N): Can I. . . change the subject?

(M/N) and (F/N) looked at each other confused on why (Y/N) asked that, but they complied.

(M/N): Sure?

(Y/N): I. . . didn't entirely come back to just visit you guys. . . there's actually something that I wanted to ask the two of you.

This surprised his parents as (Y/N) closes his eyes and he takes a deep breath before he looks back at his parents with a serious look.

(Y/N): I'm going to ask you a question. . . a rather serious question. . . and I NEED you two to answer me honestly no matter how personal it is, alright?

(M/N) and (F/N) stayed silent from that as they are completely confused on what (Y/N) is about to ask them. (Y/N) sighs as he definitely knows that it wouldn't be this easy, but he proceeded anyway.

(Y/N): I need to ask you two. . . Am I really human?

This causes both of their eyes to widen in shock before they each nervously tried to deny that question.

(M/N): W-What makes you say that, (Y/N)? Of course, you're human.

(Y/N): I see. . . What about the golden watch?

(F/N): Oh, you mean that thing that we tried to take off of you before the huge airship invaded? Well. . . why wouldn't we be concerned about it, son? You told us yourself that you had no idea where it came from and why it attached to you.

(M/N): W-Why are you asking us such crazy questions?

(Y/N): Because. . . ever since I've been fighting with Neptune and my other friends. . . something has been bugging me. . . that's why I came here for answers.

(F/N): Well. . . we're glad that you thought about us to see if we had any leads, but sadly we don't. Hate to break to you kiddo, but you're just a special kind of kid that got to fulfill his dream.

(Y/N): (They're definitely lying. . . I don't blame them for trying to run from the truth, but I don't want to sound too pushy. I need to make them slip up.) Okay, I get it.

(M/N): We're glad that you at least thought we could help.

(Y/N): Just one more question. . .

(M/N): Yes, sweetie?

(Y/N): Did Histoire mention to you about the strange powers that awakened inside of me?

(M/N): Strange powers?

(Y/N): You know. . . it was during the time I was staying the Basilicom?

(M/N): I-I don't think s-she mentioned a single thing about you having strange powers.

That made (Y/N) raise an eyebrow.

(Y/N): Really now? Then why does a suddenly locked on wristwatch not seem as strange towards strange powers if the both of you knew about that?

(M/N) and (F/N) were sweating and (Y/N) could tell that he was getting closer to where this was going as they still try to deny it.

(M/N): Well, I thought you were referring to something completely different.

(F/N): Yeah, you having powers is a first for us ever since we took care of you for three years.

(M/N) turned to (F/N) shocked from what he just said as (Y/N)'s eyes widen too. (F/N) realizes what he also just said as he gasps in shock.

(Y/N): What did you just say?!

(F/N): S-Seventeen-

(Y/N) then get's a serious look on his face interrupting his foster father.

(Y/N): No! You said three! That was the number that I clearly heard!

Now (M/N) and (F/N) were in a corner as (Y/N) just found out that his parents know something that he doesn't.

(Y/N): I remember you guys telling me something that I was seventeen years old, meaning that I had to have been born seventeen years ago, right? Well now that I just heard the number three. . . that's not entirely true, is it?

(M/N) & (F/N): . . .

(Y/N) sighs at their silence as he continues.

(Y/N): What made me want to ask these questions was that I've seeing things. . . in my mind. Images, voices, and it just turned out that those all appeared to actually be memories. . . my own memories. The one thing that I remember when I first met you guys was that I obviously had lost a memory of mine, the only thing I could figure out was my name. I didn't know what happened, but you guys told me something different. . . something that I feel is though was to drive me away from who I truly was. What do you say to that. . . mom and dad?

The two foster parents look down to the ground in guilt and (Y/N) could feel their pain as he sighs and puts his hand on his mother's.

(Y/N): I know this may be hard for you. . . but I really need to know. . . Mom, Dad. . . just where did I actually come from. . . who am I?

(M/N) was still in silence as she really doesn't want to reveal this kind of secret to her own son that she took care of. She then eyes a photo nearby which was a family photo of a 17 year old, (Y/N) with Kazuki and Ayame with both of her and (F/N) behind them all smiling happily. (F/N) put his hand on his wife's shoulder and as (M/N) turns to him, all he does is nod. (M/N) reluctantly sighs as she along with her husband turn to (Y/N).

(M/N): Where should we start. . .?

(Y/N): I want whatever you can remember. This is not only for my sake. . . but yours as well.

(M/N): *sighs* Okay. . .

(Flashback)

Three years ago. . .

(M/N)'s P.O.V.

Location: Forest Dungeon

Time: Afternoon

The time we found (Y/N) wasn't too long ago. My husband and I were actually just taking a hike around a forest together, but we ended up getting lost in the process. It took us over two hours just to try to find the trail back to where Planeptune is without running into any monsters along the way.

(F/N): *groans* According to this map, we should've been back in Planeptune by now. I told you that going that other path was a bad idea. Now we don't even know where we are.

(M/N): *sighs* I couldn't help myself. I wanted to try something new and go another path for once, but I didn't think that it would lead us all the way out here.

(F/N): Let's just be lucky that we haven't run into any monsters yet.

(M/N): Well, Dogoos usually reside in large plains and near villages, so I'm certain that we won't find a crowd of them around here.

I walk forward some more before suddenly, my foot got caught in a random tree root in the ground and I fell down a ditch alarming my husband as he immediately runs after me while I keep tumbling down the path. Little did we know that exact path was one that was more dangerous than we formerly thought. I kept rolling down the hill before I come to an abrupt stop just behind a tree. I moan in pain as I sit straight up while holding my head.

(F/N): You clumsy woman! Watch where you're going!

Hearing him say that made me give him a look as I was covered in dirt and grass. He runs up to me and helps me up to my feet as I wipe my clothes with my hands before looking around.

(F/N): *sarcastically* Great! Now we're even more lost!

(M/N): And how many times have we tried going back in the same direction we came?

(F/N): Four times. And we still haven't found our way out.

I then look up and then turn towards the tree behind me and I get an idea.

(M/N): Perhaps we need some elevation. I'll climb up this tree and see if I can find the slightest bit of the city.

I proceed to do so as go up from branch to branch climbing up this tree. I'm pretty flexible if I say so myself. My husband and I did a lot of traveling back before we had (Y/N) with us. Once I reach the top of the tree, I gaze out and I look all around the forest before I do indeed see Planeptune in the distance which makes me smile as I look back down.

(F/N): How's it looking up there, honey?

(M/N): I see Planeptune! All we need to do is keep heading back west and we'll get back there by sunset!

As I say that, I near a rather large crash coming from the distance I turn in the direction I heard it before I see that some trees were wiggling in the distance which made me confused. I raise an eyebrow seeing that before I suddenly noticed that the wiggling of the trees were getting closer, which meant that something was coming and there was no doubt that it was a big monster as I could even her it's footsteps too. I look down and call out to (F/N).

(M/N): (F/N), you need to hide!

(F/N): Why?

(M/N): Something's coming! This way! I think it heard us yelling!

He glares up at me.

(F/N): Then stop shouting!

I give him a glare back.

(M/N): No! You stop shouting and get to hiding mister! There's no time to argue!

It was indeed a monster as I heard it roar and it was loud enough that some birds flew away from their nests and I was now a sitting duck in this tree which was not good at all. (F/N) knew that I was right as he look for the widest tree to hide behind and he runs right behind it. I jump down to a branch and I also hid myself too as we see a large Ancient Dragon walk by. Those don't usually bother you, but that thing looked ready for a meal as I tried to stay as silent as possible.

It apparently was looking around for the source of the noise that it heard as all I take are some deep breaths from this tree while (F/N) continues to hide. He wanted to move away from the Ancient Dragon as he took a couple of steps while tiptoeing, but he accidentally steps on a twig which cracks and he immediately dives to a tree to hide while the Ancient Dragon looked at the direction of the sound. It then started heading towards that direction towards (F/N) and that made me worry immensely as I couldn't let that thing go on a rampage chasing on of us.

It was right in front of (F/N)'s hiding spot and was about to inspect the area before I tossed a rock far out in a random direction which the Ancient Dragon looked towards and now it's attention was focused that way. I land back onto the ground to watch the large beast walk away before I speed walk and take (F/N)'s arm to go in another direction surprising him.

(F/N): *quietly* That was way too close!

(M/N): *quietly* Agreed, but why was that thing looking around here? Ancient Dragons are usually harmless unless you attack them back?

(F/N): *quietly* I'm not a monster expert. . .

Once we got far enough from that giant monster, we stopped to catch our breath running away from the Ancient Dragon.

(F/N): Luckily for us, we were actually going back north, so like you said, we should be going in the right direction now.

I smile and nod from that as we both continue to walk in the same direction before I trip over something yet again. My husband is right about one thing. . . I was pretty clumsy back then. However, what I tripped on this time might come as shocking. Once I raise my head, I turn to what I tripped on with a slight glare at first before I was confused. (F/N) walks up to me and sees the same thing that I see with confusion written all over his face.

(F/N): What is that??

What we were looking at was apparently some sort of lump of dirt in the ground and it looked way too artificial to have come from nature. It was even shaped like an actual person with it's arms spread out.

(M/N): I don't know. It almost looks as if someone was actually buried here.

I looked over to see a fallen branch on the ground and I take it before I keep beating on the dirt in order to dig out what was under here. Once I keep beating on the dirt and something finally shows itself under the dirt. What I saw under some of that soil made me gasp as I saw a hand. . . an actual human hand. It made me jump as I back away from it in fear.

(M/N): Aaah! I-It's an actual. . . human being!

(F/N) was just as shocked as I was as he takes the branch I dropped and he inches closer towards the hand before he pokes it to see if it was actually alive. He did it a couple of times before. . . the fingers actually twitch which makes him jump in fright.

(F/N): How is it alive?! . . .Wait, it's alive!?

The fingers twitched some more before they started to lower which concerned me as I thought that the person trapped down in there might me hurt so I run up to it and grab it with both of my hands before turning to my husband.

(M/N): It's clearly still suffocating! Come on, honey! Help me pull this person out!

(F/N) looked at me like I was crazy for a second as he doesn't even know what it is and I'm just taking charge to free it from the ground. He hesitates for a second before he just nods and helps me pull it out of the ground. It was a struggle to actually pull a person out like this as we put as much effort as we can to pull the person out of the ground. Eventually, the person pops out of it's buried area and we both fell down on our butts in the process.

(F/N): That did it. . .

I look at the nearly motionless figure that was extremely soiled with dirt before walking on over to it. I kneel down to try and take a look at its face and it was covered in so much dirt that I used my hand to dust it off. When it was clear, I saw that this person was a older looking teen that looked to be in a lot of pain. (F/N) walks up to me with confusion written on his face while I was surprised to see a child like this all the way out here.

(F/N): A kid. . .? Why is he buried all the way out here??

(M/N): I can't answer that. . . I don't even know how one is even out here either. . .

I look around to see if there was anybody else around, but I knew that if I yelled, the Ancient Dragon would most likely come back to us. I think it may have been guarding this child for some reason and the more I look at it, the more my will was telling me that I couldn't leave this boy to perish all the way out here. I look at (F/N) with a sad expression.

(M/N): We can't leave such a young child out here. . . If he is even the slightest chance to be alive. . . I say that we should help him.

(F/N) looked at me with shock of this idea as he doesn't even know if this boy could be dangerous or not. However, he looked at him as well and seeing his condition, he felt some sympathy as well as he walks up and grunts with effort as he lifts the boy over his shoulders.

(M/N): (F-F/N)?!

(F/N): You're right. . . Come on! You want to help this kid, right? Let's take him home with us and see what we could do to heal him!

I look at my husband with astonishment before it became a smile that he agreed to help this young child with me. I then stand up as I point in the direction that was north so we would head back to Planeptune. It did take some time to get back as we ran into a couple of Dogoos along the way, but we were able to scare them away.

Location: (L/N) Residence

We nursed the young child all we could as I actually have an occupation as a nurse here in Planeptune. We washed the boy up with a nice bath until he was sparkling clean, I checked his heartbeat and it was indeed still going somehow even after being buried for goddess knows how long. We then decide to lay him down on a couch in our living room while putting a blanket over him and an ice pack on his head too as now we have this young man all cleaned up and healthy to. I was sitting on my knees watching him and (F/N) comes in as well.

(F/N): How is he?

(M/N): He's still breathing, so at the most we can say that he was actually in a coma. But how can a somebody so young survive under the surface for that long?

(F/N) shrugs his shoulders.

(F/N): Maybe he was abandoned by his friends? Or maybe he passed out from fighting a monster? I don't know. . . the possibilities are endless.

I turn to him with slight confusion.

(F/N): Well. . . not endless, but there could still be many theories on how this child is alive.

That's when something really unexpected happen as suddenly the boy's eyes opened wide and they were glowing blue which shocked me as I backed up from him in pure shock as my husband holds onto me in case anything was going to happen. The blue glow from this boy's eyes then quickly faded away as they dimed down to a (E/C) color instead. I was scared from what that was as the boy looks straight up to the ceiling and he blinks a couple of times before he slowly sits up and looks around confused before he holds a hand to his head.

(Y/N): Where. . . Where the hell am I. . .? And what I just doing. . .?

(F/N) and I looked at each other as now he is stating that he can't remember something. I take a look back at him before I walk up to him.

(M/N): Excuse me, young man, but. . . are you alright?

He looks at me and stares at me for a second before tilting his head.

(Y/N): Um, who are you??

That was definitely a difficult question to answer for both myself and my husband as a kid is in some random stranger's home and I honestly would be just as confused as well. However, I don't what this kid's reaction would be if I told him that we dug him up from the ground, so I decided to come up with a small lie.

(M/N): We're. . . people who found you sleeping in the middle of an empty alleyway, so we brought you here with us to see if you were alright. . . But seeing that you're awake and you can talk. . . I suppose that answers that question.

(F/N): Do you have a name, kid?

(Y/N): Name?? Um. . . I. . .

He then groans as he grasps his head in slight pain making me run to him with worry.

(M/N): Oh my! Do you have a headache, sweetie?

His pain quickly stopped and he had a confused look before he looks back at me.

(Y/N): You asked for a name, right? I think it's. . . (Y/N)?

(M/N): (Y/N)? That's seems like a nice name for you.

The boy who is now calling himself (Y/N) smiled from that as he looks at us both.

(F/N): So you can remember your name. . . Is there else you can remember?

(Y/N): Not. . . really. . . Everything's blank! I don't even know what I was doing yesterday. . .

I look at (Y/N) with sympathy as he apparently as amnesia. . . and it seemed to be a really bad case of it too as he can only remember his name and nothing else. I didn't know what to do as amnesia is just a process that doesn't come back instantly and I didn't know what memories this kid could possibly have. That's when an idea struck me as I remember one time where (F/N) and I talked about having kids once, but we one day found out that we couldn't have children because we could produce any. However, (Y/N) looks old enough to go to school. I've always wanted such a sweet child for myself and while (F/N) wasn't entirely on par with it, he actually did think of having a child as well.

(M/N): Well. . . I suppose. . . we can take care of you, sweetie.

(Y/N) looks up to me with astonishment while (F/N) looked at me with shock.

(Y/N)/(F/N): Huh??/What?!

I turn around to my husband and whisper to him.

(M/N): *whispers* Honey, this young man doesn't know anything about himself. . . not even a single thing. I know it would be a hassle to take care of somebody like that, but didn't you want something like this too?

(F/N): *whispers* Yes, but. . . not from these circumstances. What if does find out who he is? Then what?

That threw me in a loop as he does have a point. He's not a pet and we can't keep him forever, so I tell him the best thing that we can do if that happens.

(M/N): *whispers* We let him go with the truth. . . and if comes to it. . . we'll tell him the truth too. . . (I really hope that we don't though. . .)

(F/N) looked at (Y/N) who was staring at us conversing quietly while he wasn't able to hear a single word we were saying. He can see the look in his eyes that he really doesn't know what's going on right now and he looks down at me too before he smiles.

(F/N): Well. . . he does look like he'll need help adjusting to the real world that we live in. Alright, let's ask him once again.

(F/N) says that as he walks up right beside me and we both face (Y/N).

(F/N): It must be tough not knowing a lot, kid. How about you stick with us. . . like parents?

(Y/N): Parents?

(F/N): Those no way someone your age could survive here in our city Planeptune without getting a little bit of guidance from anybody. We'll give you that all you need from here on out. . .

(M/N): Whether it'll be food, shelter, entertainment, health, and even unconditional love too~

(Y/N) looked down as this was all a surprise to him as two random adults that are here standing right in front of him are offering him care that he needs. He thinks about it for a second before he looks up to them and smiles.

(Y/N): I may not know a lot about myself, but if you can help me succeed in this world. . . then I'll be more than happy to live with you too. . . as your son.

This made me beam with extreme happiness as I instantly went beside (Y/N) and gave him a big hug which he wasn't prepared for at all. He flinched from the sudden action before he smiles and hugs me back which made me even more happy. (F/N) decided to join us on the hug as he pats (Y/N) on the head too.

(M/N): We're happy to have you (Y/N). . . or should I now say. . . my sweet little boy.

(F/N): Welcome to the family. . . son.

(Y/N): Thank you so much. . . mom and dad. I'll be a great son to you. I promise.

Going forward after that, we decided to adopt (Y/N) and send him to a local school here in Planeptune. There he was able to meet his two best friends who he was able to bond with and it made us happy that (Y/N) was able to socialize at school. Way after that, we gave (Y/N) all that he needed that he really did feel like our own son even if he biologically wasn't. We would definitely spoil him with so much generous things, but he was a really humble child as he would always say that he doesn't really need it. It was a life that my husband and I couldn't be happier for. . . until now. . .

Third P.O.V.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

(Y/N) was trying to take all of this in as he was shocked that he wasn't really natural born and was abandoned, he was actually found just somewhere out there and his powers were actually somehow natural born to himself.

(Y/N): So. . . the watch, my powers, myself meeting the goddesses. . . it wasn't all a coincidence. . .

(M/N) was sniffling as she had a little bit of tears streaming down her eyes crying a bit.

(M/N): We were. . . *sniff* just. . . so happy to have you here. . . *sniff* we just couldn't let you find out the truth so soon. . . *sniff* I. . . I was really wishing that you would never find out too, but. . .

She then started to actually cry.

(M/N): *sobbing* I knew this day would come. . .

(F/N) pats his wife on the back looking really guilty as he was just as responsible too for not telling (Y/N) the entire truth of where he came from.

(F/N): We are so. . . so sorry we lied to you, (Y/N). We really are. . . We would perfectly understand it if you couldn't forgive us for just keeping you like that. . . If you truly can't. . . the door is right there, champ. . .

(M/N) continues to cry while (F/N) is still comforting her. (Y/N) had a serious look on his face as he looks over towards the cracked door to his room and back at his parents. He is very disappointed that he's not who his foster parents told him that he is. . . but at the same time, they never really done anything wrong to him. He was able to stay at this household for three years even if it felt like seventeen and all they've done for him is provide him care. (Y/N) keeps looking at the two before. . . he just smiles at them and he walks up and wraps his arms around both (M/N) and (F/N) surprising the two immensely.

(M/N): W-What?!

(F/N): (Y-Y/N). . .?

(Y/N): I could care less about you two lying to me. Don't get me wrong, its still kind of disappointing, but. . . you were the ones who are responsible for bringing me back into this world in the first place. . . you think I'm going to stop loving you because of something as shitty like that?! I'm literally right here and I know for a fact that if I was still buried, I wouldn't be with you two right now! You gave me kindness, care, and I was even able to meet Kazuki, Ayame, and the goddesses too. . . all because you decided to dig me up from some random dungeon in Planeptune! Don't feel guilty you two, feel proud as I'm proud too. . . to feel like your actually son!

Those words hit (M/N) and (F/N) in the heart as they both stared at each other for a moment before hugging (Y/N) back with huge smiles on their faces. It looks like they've raised (Y/N) so well that he practically thinks of them as family. However, their heartwarming moment is interrupted by a weeping voice. . . from a certain nurse in training.

Compa: Aw. That. . . *sniff* That was so touching. . .

This alarmed the three as they turned towards the voice to see that IF and Compa had come into the room and IF was giving a sympathetic smile to (Y/N) while Compa was weeping.

(Y/N): H-How long have you two been here?

IF: Long enough that we heard the entire thing.

(F/N): You know these girls, (Y/N)?

(Y/N) breaks the hug and goes towards IF and Compa to introduce them to his foster parents.

(Y/N): Mom. . . Dad. . . These are some human friends that I made while I was staying at the Basilicom. This is IF, but Nep, Compa, and I just love to call her Iffy. She's a guild agent who takes requests to help out people a lot of the time and even goes on lots of adventures with Neptune.

IF: *nods* It's nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. (L/N). Sorry about the sudden intrusion.

(Y/N): This is Compa. She's a nurse in training, but I feel as though she is more of an expert at healing others than you think. She is even really good at cooking and making good pudding too.

Compa gives the best wave that she could even though she was still a bit sad hearing (Y/N)'s life story like that.

(M/N): I see. . . What's their relationship with Lady Neptune?

IF: Compa and I are actually Nep's childhood friends. We mainly go up to the Basilicom every now and then to check up on her to see if she's actually doing her job. We heard just about everything you told (Y/N) though. . . We're sorry you had to go through something like that, pal.

(Y/N): Don't be. Like I told them, they took care of me all of my current life and I'm still more than happy to call them family.

Compa: (N/N). . .

(Y/N): Don't be sad at all, Compa. This just only means that more mysteries like ahead for me to find out who I truly am.

IF: That's great and all, but one question. . . What made you come out of the Basilicom to come here?

(Y/N) was surprised as he tries to play it off like he didn't know.

(Y/N): U-Uh. . . W-What do you mean? I was just walking here on my own leisure.

IF deadpans at him before she rolls her eyes.

IF: *sarcastically* Sure, let's call the more bloody injuries that you had earlier walking casually.

(Y/N)'s eyes widened from that as IF and Compa must have saw that.

Compa: *sweatdrops* It's pretty hard not to draw attention to yourself when your injured like that, (N/N).

(Y/N): *sighs* Okay, you got me. . . Here's what actually happened. . .

(Y/N) told IF, Compa, and even his parents about the dreams that he's been having and how he actually found out that they weren't actually dreams, but they were memories controlled by some purple ghost. He was sure not to mention meeting Uranus because he didn't know what their reactions could be if they found out about Neptune's predecessor CPU.

IF: So in these memories you were actually in one fighting the Deity of Sin?

(Y/N): Yeah. . . That's why I'm still kind of damaged like you see here?

(M/N): That's just. . .  shocking sweetie. The Deity of Sin was vanquished a long time ago by the goddesses.

Compa: That's right, Mrs. (L/N). We told (N/N) about how we even helped Nep-Nep and Ge-Ge fight her too.

(Y/N): I don't know the entire truth yet. . . but something tells me that I will soon. I just don't know when. *sighs* Just why me though. . . why did I have to be the one with amnesia?

Compa: It's okay, (N/N). Besides, we'll help you regain all of your memories.

(Y/N) looks at Compa surprised.

(Y/N): Really?

IF: We may have only been allies for months, but you're still helping us right? We'll return the favor and see if there's any history that might ring a bell to you. I'll even tell some of the other members of the Guild to find out more about that dungeon and see if any abnormal things happen.

(Y/N): *smiles* Thanks you two, but really, finding my memories is my responsibility. I don't want you guys to make me look a burden to you.

IF: No need to be modest. Think of it as a tiny return for helping us with the Virus Empire.

Compa: You can even come to me anytime to need healing, (N/N). In fact, I can help with those wounds that you currently got.

(Y/N): Well. . . Thanks you two. However. . . promise me that you won't tell this to Nep or the others.

Compa: Our lips are sealed.

(Y/N) smiles from that as he goes up to hug IF and Compa which surprises but Compa instantly hugs (Y/N) back resting her head on his shoulder while IF nervously smiles and hugs back as well as it feels embarrassing to her.

(Y/N): I'm so glad that I have more friends that I can count on like you two.

IF: Don't mention it.

Compa: Now. . .~

As they break the hug, Compa pulls out her giant syringe which shocks (Y/N) as that thing looks way bigger up close. Even his parents were shocked from the giant thing.

Compa: I just need to inject this serum into you and you'll be all better~ You'll need to lay down on your bed though.

(Y/N): (Oh, boy. . .)

(Y/N) slowly and nervously lays down onto the bed as Compa holds her syringe up to him.

(Y/N): T-This won't hurt a lot. . . right, Compa?

Compa: Don't worry, (N/N). It'll only be a tiny prick, but you shouldn't feel too much pain~

Even though Compa is a nurse, (Y/N) is still a little nervous since she fights monsters with that thing. As soon as Compa injects the syringe right beside (Y/N)'s torso, she injects her serum to heal his wounds and. . .

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

A painful shock was sent to (Y/N)'s body as he yells out in pain.

(Y/N): OW! Goddammit! That actually really hurt!! You said that it would be like a pinch, Compa!

Compa: How else was I going to make you stay in place? You wouldn't lay in the bed if I told you that the pain will still remain where it is.

Compa injects more with an innocent smile on her face and (Y/N) feels the pain once more even though his wounds are fully disappearing.

(Y/N): O-Ow! Be more gentle! More gentle, Compa!

Compa: I can't. I won't be able to fully make the wounds go away.

IF: *sighs* You've dealt with worse, (Y/N). Quit fussing.

(Y/N): C-Come on, Iffy!

(M/N): W-Worse. . . such as?

IF: He had to fight four generals, a giant robot, he fought in the snow while wearing sleeveless clothes, and finally I guess the battle with the Deity of Sin in his dream. . .

(M/N) and (F/N) look at each other in shock.

(F/N): Well damn, our son is a hunter. . .

His parents then look at (Y/N)'s predicament as he was still yelping out from Compa's painful healing as they both chuckled.

(M/N): And somewhat of a wimp too. . .

(Y/N): Ack! Compa!

Compa: Just be patient now, (N/N). You have about 18 more wounds to go and I'll need to remove some of your clothes for me to get the rest.

(Y/N): N-No! No, no, no!! Don't take off my clothes! I'll feel it more! Just let me use my Heal skill you taught me!

Compa: That won't do much and you don't want to show your wounds to Nep-Nep like this either, right?

Compa says this as she reaches out to take off (Y/N)'s shirt which makes him blush and he freaks out too.

(Y/N): Compa, no!! Don't! N-No more! I can't stand it!

IF rolls her eyes and frowns at (Y/N).

IF: Stop sounding like a pervert and just endure it, (Y/N).

Just like that, (Y/N) had to go through being injected through his body multiple times thanks to Compa's rather extreme healing procedures that she had to make him go through. That night ended up being more noisy than expected, but once they were done, IF was able to give (Y/N) a ride back to the Basilicom so Neptune and Nepgear would notice that he ran out in the middle of the night.

Location: Virus Empire Airship, Deck

Apparently, things weren't looking so good for the enemy as both Bane and Malware having arrived back with Bane having icicles all over his armor while Malware was really bruised and even Canker was laughing at their predicaments while Hijack simply stared at the two with crossed arms.

General Canker: You guys got schooled by the brat?! *laughs* That's lame!

General Bane: I don't want to hear coming from the egotistic coward who abandoned their own base just to let their own damn robot fight.

Canker stopped laughing from that as he then points towards Bane with slight annoyance.

General Canker: Hey! We both knew the V.P.U. could've won! I don't think it would've been blown to shit if I'd done more maintenance so let's not start playing the blame game! Okay? Please? Thank you? You're welcome!

General Bane: *sternly* Stop talking. . .

Hijack walks over to the injured Malware and sighs at him.

General Hijack: How did it end up like this, comrade?

General Malware: It was. . . it was the boy! I don't know how. . . but it was like. . . he could just throw back whatever I threw at him! He overwhelmed me so much that I had no time to even resist with my own powers!

General Hijack: Hmm. . . Troublesome.

General Malware: You have no idea. Does master already know?

General Hijack: Unfortunately, yes. . . He wasn't amused in the slightest.

General Bane: So what now?

General Canker: Uh, hello? Mr. Snow for Brains, I'll tell you what we're going to do, we're going going to go back there and kick that brat's ass! That's what we'll do!

General Hijack: That's your plan? To run in straight on and deal with the kid?

General Canker: Yes! Well. . . no. I mean. . . Ugh! Listen, we've got a literal boy who thinks he's a badass, but the thing is. . . he's accompanied by those goddesses. They're working as team. So I say. . . we instead turn the tables on them with the same strategy.

???: Canker is correct.

That voice made all of the generals jump in fright as apparently the mysterious man from before walks right in front of them. All four generals line up in front of him and Canker was confused.

General Canker: I am?

Mysterious Man: Though I am still rather VERY irritated and would like to chastise you all failing to drain the Shares of the goddesses, we have a bigger opportunity that we must focus on.

All of the generals turn to each other with slight confusion.

General Malware: Sir?

The mysterious man snaps his fingers as the door behind him opens up to have a random Virus Soldier walk inside with an object in it's hand and it walks over to the man before handing it to him. The Virus Soldier then backs up and stands firm before saluting. The mysterious man holds out his hand to show the generals an entire map of Gamindustri, which also shows both the Ultra Dimension and Zero Dimension parts of it too. Suddenly, different colors appeared on the map that looked to show where each goddess was, but there was also another darker lilac, yellow, and orange color show on different parts of the map.

Mysterious Man: There are suppose to be four leading goddesses along with the CPU Candidates who all look over their nations. . . but my scanners are now saying there are THREE more goddesses out there that we haven't looked into yet.

General Canker: So what exactly is this opportunity that you are describing if I may ask?

Mysterious Man: We may be able to take these goddesses by brute force instead of trying to take them through long-term plans of mine.

General Hijack: Master? Are you implying that you're giving us a second chance?

The mysterious man puts the map away before sternly glaring at his generals.

(Insert Mirai Button by Afilia Saga Here)

Mysterious Man: On ONE condition, you all are going to be working in pairs instead. Leaving you all to work on your own was a crucial mistake as from what you all told me. . . the boy seems to be the one that we need to take out the most. So what I want you all to do is take your armies. . . and just capture those goddesses by any means necessary and just to be extra safe. . . I'll even install more of my power to each of you, understood?

All of the generals nod to that as they salute to their masters order.

Generals: Yes sir!

Mysterious Man: Hijack and Canker. . . you're assigned to go the back part of Planeptune. Bane and Malware, go investigate the goddess found in that ruined part of Gamindustri. I want them back here dead or alive! Do I make myself clear?!

General Hijack: Crystal.

Mysterious Man: Do NOT fail me again. . . ANY of you!

In the shadows, the mysterious man's red eyes glowed and he even smiles sadistically as well.

Mysterious Man: (Win or lose. . . I'll learn something about that boy who is protecting those CPUs. . .)

Chapter 11 End.
