A/N: This is a view of the past. I'm going to use their names despite different gender because I don't want to keep using the planets. Anyway Jovians are the people of Jupiter and Jupie is slang for a cool or popular Jovian.
Chapter 10: Lucky
Princess Mercury looked out from her balcony to see the City of Mercury from afar. Only those who have proven worthy as champions in certain skills were allowed to stay in the prime city of Mercury while the rest took comfort in the towns. Competitions were a constant event, but nobody could beat the Princess. She had defeated all her other siblings for the right to the thrown despite being the youngest after all.
Her spy/ butler entered the balcony too. "Princess Togami, it is almost Prince Luck's birthday."
"I know. Then you have the gifts and only the most beautiful dresses prepared?"
"Yes your majesty."
"More beautiful than Princess Kuwata's own? You do remember how humiliating last year was."
"They said that you two were equal."
"And that is exactly why it wasn't good enough. Being equals only meant that we were both losers, and I am no loser. The new seamstresses must have the best outfits for me or else I will no longer be entitled as the Woman of Renaissance!"
"They will have the best for you. There is also something else milady? Princess Saturn had sent you another love letter, or better yet, a novel of her feelings and ideals of your future together."
"Disgusting." The princess sighed. "Set it on my nightstand."
"Are you sure you don't wish for me to burn it?"
"And poison the air by such revolting literature? No. I will dispose of it myself."
The spy was pretty sure that there was a fire pit to burn all revoltion on the planet from ever becoming proof of existence by the princess's command but perhaps it just slipped her perfect mind. He ignored it for the sake of his job where he admired the princess for her successes. "You also have a meeting with the other princesses at the Moon Kingdom. I shall have the servants prepare your outfit and carriage before you go. Excuse me, milady."

Princess Mars was present at the training ground looking at at all the well organized soldiers training proficiently whilst respecting and helping each other in an orderly fashion.
"Pri-princess Ishimaru." His nurse, Mikan Tsumiki, appeared. She was always present around him to make sure that her princess was okay.
"Ah, Nurse Tsumiki! Any reports!"
"Yes. It's almost Prince Luck's birthday!" She always felt a bit safer and confident near Ishimaru since he'd always protect her from being hurt or mocked. She was okay with it, but the woman would never stand for such cruelty, and straightened her out through tears. To be cried for, it was a wonderful experience.
"Right! We must find a present for it is the rule in birthdays! Let's go find one!" The woman set out.
"B-But Princess Ishimaru! You have a scheduled meeting with the other princesses!" The teenager reminded her.
"That is correct! Then we will have to look for the present tomorrow! I must prepare myself for our meeting! Excuse me!" She bowed.
"Ah! Pri-princess! How many times do we have to tell you that you're not the one to bow?!"
"But bowing is a certified act of respect and I respect you for all your hard work and dedication Nurse Tsumiki!"
"But you're a higher status than me!"
"Nonsense! What makes a princess more important than a citizen soldier who save lives?!"
"You're in charge of making sure we do our jobs and create peace!"
"As so does the hospital director! And I have read every rule book and none of them said that I cannot bow to give respect to my citizens!"
"Princess...Alright. Thank you Princess Ishimaru." She bowed.
"Yes! Now excuse me as I get ready for the meeting!" She bowed back. "Guards!" She bowed to them, too, before leaving. They all sighed unable to keep up with their princess's actions. Her citizens truly respected her for her diligence and pure heartedness.
On the way, Princess Ishimaru encountered her army general who was a genius old man. "General," She bowed to him. "How are the soldiers?"
"They are doing well. They are all good sports that it doesn't require much lecturing."
"NONSENSE!"
"Hrk!"
Princess Ishimaru pointed a furious finger at the old man. "You are falling back to your old habits General! You may be a genius but remember that your lack of effort nearly cost you your title! I want you to double check your soldiers this instant!"
The man was at attention giving her the salute. "Yes Princess!"
She smiled again. "Thank you! I must hurry now! Excuse me General!" She bowed again before leaving. The old man sighed.

On the planet of Jupiter, there was a motorcycle race. Their vehicles looked like motorcycles but they have more of a glow and advanced upgrades to it. It was a dangerous match of having to get faster to get through the loops, tight curves, jumping through eletric hoops before they shock you and then dodging the small random spikes popping out of the ground before reaching the finish line.
"THIS IS GOING TO BE A CLOSE ONE JOVIANS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE WINNER IS...THE MYSTERY PERSON WITH THE HELMET! WHO COULD THIS JUPIE BE!" She removed her helmet and whisked her hair side to side. A victorious grin plastered on her face. "IT'S PRINCESS OOWADA EVERYONE!" The crowd roared for her victory that was proof of her roots as a Jovian.
The princess's army general just smiled at the arena's podium with a maltese on his lap.
"Tch, that boku." The second in command, Kuzuryuu, was not amused but felt happy to know that he won the bet. His body guard and the third in command of the army, Pekoyama, was silent.
The Jupiter Princess refused the awards so they were given to the second winner. She went to the podium. "Hey! How was I?! I was pretty cool wasn't I?! Hahahaha!"
"More like a waste of time." The short one complained.
"What did you say pipsqueak?!"
"Sayin' what I feel like ya damn boku!"
The two approached each other trying to glare each other down. Peko got in between them with her sword. "We shouldn't argue right now. Princess Jupiter is late for her meeting with the other princesses at the Moon Kingdom."
"What?! Oh Fuck! Daiya! You were suppose to tell me that shit!"
The army general smiled guiltily. "Sorry, but Chuck just learned how to go to the potty all by himself!" He held up the cute maltese who barked happily.
"He did!" She squealed and then cooed to her doggy. "Did my baby just did that all by himself?! Did he?! Did he?! Who the smartest doggy in the world?! Who's a good boy?! Who's a good boy?" Her dog barked happily
Kuzuryuu felt ashamed. "I lost in combat to that woman."
"Young Master." The second in command looked to his body guard to see her wearing a pair of dog ears. "If you are jealous, I wouldn't mind being your pet...Woof."
"Wha-What the fuck?! No!"
"Do I displease you? Am I not cute enough? Do you rather have...cuter girls?...or boys?"
"N-No! What the hell?! I just don't want you to be a dog!"
"I see. Then how about a cat?" She put on cat ears and a tail.
"Aurgh!"
Eventually Princess Jupiter got out of there and returned to her duties. And Kuzryuu got Peko to stop with the animal portrayals.

"Ibuki got the dress!"
"And I got the panties!" The guitarist and chef ran into the room where Princess Venus was supposed to be.
"Huh? Ibuki wonders where Princess Kuwata is?"
"There! She's at the balcony!" The two of them ran out the balcony with the panties and dress to find their Princess staring out at her golden utopia where everyone was either following their dreams or falling in love.
She had her army general who was also her first cousin stand next to her. He had his fingetips touch the tips of that short firey red hair. "It's a tragedy to your beautiful long golden hair."
The princess snorted fanning his hand away. "Please! I look like a total babe with my new hairstyle! I saw all their stares!" She turned away whilst having her pheromones spread around. She saw that she had just infected her two willing servants. "What are you two doing here? And why is Hanamura holding my panties?"
"Uh?" The guitarist shook sense back into her. "Princess, Ibuki and Teruteru are here to tell you that you have a meeting with the other princesses at the Moon Kingdom so Ibuki got your dress!"
"And I got your panties your majesty!"
The princess grinned at how adorable they were. "Thank you. And you two love my new hairstyle right?"
"YES!" They answered simultaneously with hearts in their eyes.
"Ha! That's only because of your pheromones love!" General Matsuzaki accused.
"Shut up! You're just jealous of my sex appeal!"
"In your dreams! If I had your pheromones I would be three times sexier than you!"
"Wanna take this to the field?"
"I prefer mud wrestling!"
"You're on!"
Ibuki's and Hanamura's hearts just trippled in size of having a mud wrestling match between the sexiest people on the planet.
"But not after the meeting." The princess giggled at how disappointed the young ones were.

Princess Sun was in her lab surrounded by holographic screens. Her mechanic, Souda, was in the middle of making sure all solar-powered technology was stabled. "Whoo! Everything looks good Princess Fujisaki!"
"Thank you Kazuichi-kun."
"No prob! Anyway, whatcha workin' on?!" The mechanic walked over to him with great interest.
"Prince Luck gave me an idea before of how to make a program that would create an artificial child."
"Like an android."
"Mhm, but then I'm unsure if I will be able to create our child with a program that could provide a soul to function and grow independently and age normally like the rest of us."
"If you want to make a real person, you could jus' ask Prince Kirigiri. That guy can give life right?"
"But it's a sacred power, so if he uses it, he would die for breaking the royal law." The princess finally finished the information needed, and then had the screens create a digitally made female child with grid lines that soon had color added to its structure.
The new creation had long flowing golden hair with Chihiro's hazel eyes. She grasped her hands together and smiled brightly. "Hello. It's nice to meet you."
"WHOA!" Kazuichi was truly amazed by how human it sounded.
His princess circled the new creation with concentrated eyes. "I haven't given her a name because I want Princess Kuwata and I to chose a name for her together, but I haven't told her about this yet."
"What?! She'd be freaked!"
"Y-you think?"
"Hell yeah! This is like an unplanned baby or something!"
"Oh Helios! I knew I should've asked her if it was okay first! It's just that I got excited, and I wasn't sure if I could do it! She's capable of answering and recognizing her surroundings but then she doesn't have a personality of her own! What am I going to do?" The princess began to cry. Souda was at lost of what to do.
"Personalities comes from experience and teachings. If you upgrade her with morals and an adapting program, she should be set to find out her place." A man, the army general, entered the room. He was a wise man with a knowledge of technology as well.
"You think that would work?"
"In studying the human behavior and life cycle, creating this child may be a new wave of technology for the people who are unable to give birth like you can't with Princess Kuwata. If they are functioned with the same life expectancy as everyone else, then our solar system will not be overpopulated."
"I see...Hmmm?" The princess began thinking.
Souda interrupted. "But then wouldn't clonin' be more efficient? I'm not against androids or anything but if you want a more realistic kid, then it's better to have the tools to mix their genes instead of makin' up some perfect kid becuz some people might treat it as disposable if the outcome is too predictable and the android might act out by neglect."
"That's very informative of you Mechanic Souda."
"Heh. Heh. I was jus' sayin'."
Princess Fujisaki had been listening and then thought about it. "But that's still a problem if a woman were to have menopause so she wouldn't have the genes provided to clone them."
"Oh...right. I forget that chicks can get those things."
"Maybe if we had a gene identifier to be recorded into the program and then have it sychronize and shape each other at random by the parents through a game like gamble..."
"Well much has to be thought about later." The army general stated. "You have a meeting with the other princesses at the Moon Kingdom Princess Fujisaki."
"Ah! You're right! I must get ready! Excuse me!"
"Hey can I follow?! Sonia-san might be there!"
"Uh? Sure! But please wear something appropriate!"
"Yes!" The princess and the mechanic went off to get ready for the meeting. The army general and the rest were to stay back on their planet or attend to each other's companionships. It was no doubt that General Matsuzaki was enjoying his time with General Daiya. So he made use of just chatting with the General of Mars, Moon and the rest for old time sake. It was truly peaceful after all, and they were to be warned by their other soldiers if trouble was afoot.

At the Moon Kingdom, Princess Moon was sitting in front of the dresser and mirror while Prince Luck was brushing her white hair. "It's almost your birthday Luck. How do you want to celebrate it?"
"The usual way is fine. Everyone present at the ballroom filled with wine and food and have a kid section in another glorious room filled with toys so they wouldn't become bored or wreck anything." He placed the brush down and then put on the Moon Kingdom's tiara on his adopted mother's head. "Will the Kings and Queens be present?"
"Ah, I'm sorry Luck but grandma and grandpa cannot come. Neither can the other Kings and Queens. There seems to be a problem at the Earth Kingdom so they have to discuss about it."
"Oh? Has another Despair Nemesis entered the Earth Kingdom?"
"I don't know. Even if I am their daughter, they don't tell me everything. They told me that I will learn everything in our literature of history later like they always do." She stood up and faced her adopted son. "You're already taller than me." She tried not to look sad. Aging was different compared to the Despair and Hope community. Komaeda aged each Earth year while the Hope community age ten to fifteen more years or so compared to him. Princess Pluto was sure she could find a way to make him age more slowly, but then it would take time to make it possible to cast the spell.
"It's really helpful when you can't reach the higher shelves."
Naegi tried not to laugh. "Luck!" They laughed anyway.
There was a knock on the door and then it was opened by the Moon army general who was accompanied by her second in command Yuji Ando. "Princess Naegi, it's time for the meeting. Prince Luck, your friends are also here."
"Is Hinata-kun here?" Komaeda asked excitedly.
The general nodded. "Your friends are waiting for you in the gazebo in the garden."
"Thank you." The princess stated. "Luck, please don't do anything reckless."
"Of course not, mother. I'll be good and hopeful!" He kissed her on the cheek before she went. "General." He stopped the woman from walking away. Yuji was dismissed. "I'll need your help in something."
Princess Naegi went to the meeting room with Yamada who came with her was the one to call out what happened at their meeting before and to see who was here. "Please state your home and status when I call your name. Princess Fujisaki?"
Princess Sun wore a yellow and orange mini ball gown with sparkles on the skirt and puffy sleeves whilst wearing a matching ribbon around her neck since it was in the Inner planet's tradition to wear one during meetings or other affairs. "Sun, Princess of Warmth. I'm also present with Hagakure."
"Here I am!" The cat with the dreads jumped on the table.
"Princess Togami."
Princess Togami wore an elegant strapless heavenly blue gown with the ribbon. She also wore glasses. "Mercury, Princess of Champions."
"Princess Ishimaru."
Princess Mars wore her home planet's red and purple military uniform with pride like usual. The idea of putting on a dress was tactless, and a uniform was to be worn every day even on celebrations or going to sleep but she did have a red ribbon around her neck. "Mars, Princess of Order!"
"Prince Kirigiri."
The man was in his black and white tuxedo accentuated with a top hat. "Earth, Prince of Life."
"Princess Nanami."
She was the Prince's younger sister and the youngest of all the princess. She was the heir to the Star thrown which can only be inherited by a woman. She wore a long sparkly light pink dress with straps and a matching ribbon. She was asleep. Prince Earth snapped his fingers which had her wake up immediately. "North Star, Princess of Direction." Since stars were like compasses for the lost people.
"Princess Oowada...Princess Oowada? Oh, it seems like she's not here...again."
"HOLD THE FUCK UP!" The princess burst into the room in a one shoulder green dress with a black belt that had her symbol in gold.
"Princess Oowada, how many times must I tell you that profanities are not allowed in meetings!" Princess Ishimaru stood up with a pointed finger.
"Whatever! I'm here! Jupiter, Princess of Courage!" She took her seat.
"Uhm, where's your tiara, Princess Oowada?" Chihiro asked.
The woman patted her head. "Dang it! I knew I forgot something!"
"It's a good thing I came with a spare!" Princess Mars took out another Jupiter tiara from her purse.
"Thanks sister! Knew I could trust you with these!" She put it on, and the two fists pumped.
"Get on with it, you imbecile." Togami scolded the cat.
"Ri-right! Princess Kuwata."
Princess Venus was wearing a sleeveless revealing golden dress with a low cut neck that reached to her crotch that was fastened with a yellow brooch with the Venus symbol that had the rest below loosely open again. She also had a ribbon."Venus, Princess of Love." She gave a flirty wink.
"Then we have the Outer planet princesses. Princess Saturn..."
The woman was too busy love gazing at Princess Mercury from across the table. She was in a purple gown that had the Juliet sleeves. Genocider Syo with her red shaggy hair wore a red cloack which hid her black dominatrix outfit underneath. "Hey, lame-O! It's yur turn!"
The princess snapped out of it. "Sa-Saturn! Princess of Death!"
"Princess Oogami?"
The woman who was her pretty version was wearing her armor that consisted of a golden breastplate, sleeveless tunic, greaves and a helmet. They also had a ribbon around their neck. "Uranus, Princess of Strength."
"Princess Asahina."
Princess Neptune wore a sea green mermaid dress with cap sleeves. "Neptune, Princess of The Sea!"
"And now the beautiful Princess Ludenberg." Yamada blushed as he said that.
Princess Pluto giggled. She was wearing an off the shoulder long black ball gown with see through sleeves. A card was being flipped through her fingers showing a different card everytime. "Pluto, Princess of The Afterlife."
"So everyone's here. Now we can start with the meeting. The last meeting was about the enforcement and changes of laws. Now we have to speak about the shipping."
Almost everyone sighed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
At the gazebo, everyone was gossiping about their princesses and prince. "Princess Kuwata and General Matsuzaki are going to mud wrestle after the meeting! The moment they clash skin to skin and then become slippery by the mud that they'd fall onto each other with Princess's Venus's breast smooshed against his chest with the possibility that her top was pulled off!"
"This excites Ibuki a whole lot!"
"..."
"Can there be one day that you won't start a conversation with sexualizing your princess?" Akane questioned.
"But mud wrestling is good practice for battling the enemy under slipper conditions!" Nidai declared.
"Hey can I watch!" Souda asked.
"Hey, don't go carelessly abandoning your duties!" Mahiru scolded him.
"Big Sister, lets go squash those ant-tans over there!" Hiyoko pointed at the ant trail going into the bushes. Animals were different in each planet so they look like ants but came with a dusty brown color to them and prefered to suck the color out of things as a source of food so they were harmless as black ants.
"No! You shouldn't kill the ant-tans! They're property to the Moon Kingdom!" Sonia stated. She was one of the warriors of Princess Nanami.
"Lay a hand on them, and you will face the mighty wrath of the Four Dark Gods!" Gundam threatened. He was the breeder for Celestia's Cyberus. He was accompanied with his hamsters.
"Hmph!" The dancer puffed her cheeks at them.
"What about you Mercury Spy?!" Ibuki refered to the spy who was big in size and wearing a black mask. No one knew his true identity so they referred him to anything that comes to mind. "Do you want to see the mud wrestling?! Ibuki thinks you'll love it!"
"Hmph. What's the fun of watching two people get dirty?"
"Exactly what you said!" The chef responded.
"Anyway it's a waste of time."
"Talking about waste of time. Where's the damn maids here?" Kuzuyruu was pissed by the lack of help around.
"You called?" Komaeda appeared in a maid outfit with the thigh high stockings, leg suspenders and head piece.
"What the hell?! Prince Luck, why the fuck are you wearing that?!"
"I thought that I'd surprise you. So what do you think?" He gave a twirl having his skirt slightly rise up for them to see the suspenders. Some of them bent their necks to see if he was wearing panties too.
"It's perfect!" Hanamura gave the thumbs up. Ibuki agreed.
"Men shouldn't be wearing women's clothing!" Mahiru told him.
"But he's so pretty Big sis! So pretty to crush and humiliate!"
"N-No!" Mikan called out.
"Shut up Bitch!"
"Everyone calm down this instant!" Sonia exclaimed which had everyone silent. "Our own princesses can have peaceful meetings unlike the rest of you! You should be ashame of yourselves!"
"S-Sorry." Mikan apologized in tears.
"Yeah, I'm sorry too." Hiyoko begrudgingly did.
Komaeda just smiled. He was just happy for the social activity of talking to one another. He didn't have anyone to talk to back at the Despair Kingdom. He then noticed Hinata who has been silent and distant in thought. He chose to be silent about it and the rest talked merrily. Souda began making sexual comments about Sonia; Mahiru scolds him; Hiyoko tries to get her attention to do something and then insults Mikan if she were to try to say anything; Ibuki says something random; Tanaka speaks of destruction and threats, Sonia becomes intrigued making Souda jealous; Akane talks about wanting to get some food so he leaves to get some; Hanamura follows to show his skills; Nidai speaks about inspiration things with the word 'shit' added, Kuzuryuu insults them; Peko agrees with him; the spy also states insults and things that sounds clever.
Then they separated to meet their princesses once the meeting took a break.
Luck stopped Hajime. "Hinata-kun, is something wrong?"
"Pri-Prince Luck? What do you mean?"
"I mean you were pretty out of it the whole time that I got worried. What's on your mind?"
"N-nothing! It's just...I'm tired okay."
"Is that so? You can rest in my room then."
"N-No! I'm just a lowly Earth guy! I couldn't-"
"It's alright. We're friends right."
"R-right."
"Then it's okay! I'll tell them that you went to sleep at my room."
"A-alright."
"Oh but please do not go through my stuff. They're very personal to me." The prince told him and then stared at him for a moment that it began to become uncomfortable.
"What? Is something on my face?"
"No. I just realized that you haven't commented on my outfit."
"Ou-Prince Luck why are you wearing that!"
"You don't like it? I wore it especially for you. I'm even wearing black lace panties underneath!"
The guy blushed. "Wha-what?! Prince Luck you should change now!"
"I'll do that later! You need to get your rest back. Now that I think of it, I'm taller than you. It must be hard for you to reach the upper shelves so there must be no worries for me that you'd try to go through my personal stuff!" The Earth guy just frowned by that wanting to stick his ahoge at him. "So see you later, Hinata-kun."
"Y-yeah! See you later Prince Luck!" He bowed and then walked away towards Komaeda's room.
Princess Nanami had seen the interactions and watched Hinata go. She walked towards Prince Luck. "Why didn't you kiss him?"
The Prince smiled at her. "Because I don't know how, but why would he want to be kissed by trash like me?"
"You're not trash Prince Luck. You can be annoying, but Hinata does value his friendship with you. You're the one who appointed him to become a servant in our kingdom after all."
"He is very passionate about hope that he'd do about anything for it." By this point, Hinata discovered something he shouldn't have. "But then it seems like his interest had led him somewhere else." He continued to smile at the girl. Her and Hinata were of the same age, and she was very pretty.
During the break, Princess Sun had her lover follow her to a private room where there was living room furniture, paintings, vases filled with flowers, ceiling to floor windows with curtains that were being blown by the wind giving it this flowing comforting atmosphere. The both sat down on the sofa facing each other.
Chihiro shyly took her hand in between hers. "Kuwata, there's something I want to tell you."
"Okay, what is it babe?"
"I want to have a daughter with you."
Leon was silent for a minute. An eyebrow arched and focusing eyes that wondered if this was real or not. "Uhm, babe, I don't know how to tell you this but we can't have a child unless we do that thing with somebody else, and we both agreed-"
"No! That's not what I meant. What I meant was...you see, I kind of created one for us."
"By create, you mean build one?" Now things were making sense but then this was a real surprise.
"Yes, I hope you don't mind."
"I don't mind, it's just that I thought we'd have this conversation before you tried to create one. But either way, I'm totally cool with having a kid!"
"You really mean it?"
"You know it! What's her name?"
"I haven't given her a name. I wanted us to decide on it. I got a cope of how she looks like." She took out a compact. When she opened it, a hologram of their child appeared in the room.
That hologram smiled at them, "Hello, it's nice to meet you!"
Then the day continued. Chihiro and Kuwata announced that they were having a child. There were questions about it but then all in all, they were supportive.
Komaeda's friends had also discuss about this. Hinata barely looked at him. It hurt Komaeda, but then it was better this way for his plan to work. He knew of why the male was distant in mind. The Earth citizen met a mysterious person who will given him the ultimate power of hope which he hadn't agreed to yet since it seemed weird.
But now that he has come across a book of the Prince's plans, he went deep in the woods at night to find the mysterious person who was a glowing woman with red hair wearing a white and golden cloak playing a harp.
"Uhm, Ryouko Otanashi?" Hinata called out.
The woman looked to him and gave a welcoming and charming smile. She had her harp disappear and then approached him. "Hinata Hajime, I didn't think you would come back. Then this means that you have made your choice?"
"Ju-just hold up a minute! You promise that what you're going to do will give me the power to become the ultimate hope right?"
"Of course. I chose you because your hope shines brighter than even Princess Fujisaki or Princess Naegi."
"Why should I trust you?" He was flattered but then he was still skeptical.
"I see. Trust is valuable for the sake of hope." She had glowing bright light swirl around them creating images to explain her reasons. "You see, hope comes through those who are capable of doing amazing things. The royalites are amazing aren't they. Creating so much hope because they possess great qualities, but there is still sooooo much to do!" She flew behind him holding his shoulders. The bright light began to turn dark showing images of despair. "The Despair Kingdom plans on taking over and I need you to stop it."
"...Why not tell the others too?"
"That's because the traitor will become aware of my plans."
Hinata's eyes widen when Komaeda came to his mind. "Trai-traitor?"
"Yes. He made a plan with the Despair Kingdom to become one with you and then take you down."
"Tha-that's not true! He was put on trial in front of Queen Usami!"
"That was after he was accepted. He was only a child but now he's at an age like you with stunning brilliance." She faced him keeping her hands on his shoulders. "Brilliance that can create pure destruction. Pure utter destruction. That's why I need you Hinata to accept my gift I wish to bestow upon you. It's only your acceptance that I need to fulfill the spell."
Hinata was still unsure about this but after knowing what Komaeda plans on doing which involves the death of even his own parents, he had to stop him in order to save everyone... "Okay."
The woman grinned. "Give me your hand." She reached out with her blood red finger nails. Hinata hesitated for a moment as he reached out his hand and then drew it back.
He turned away. "I can't believe it. I just...can't believe that Prince Luck would do such a thing." He remembered how they met. How the child just saw him walking along the road mindlessly and then was framed for murder. Luck proved his innocence incredibly while he didn't use the statement that he was a witness. Then the two became friends despite the age difference.
"Hinata Hajimae, you must understand that he isn't the Komaeda you think he is. If you don't accept this and take him down, he will show his true colors by taking his first murder victim in front of everyone, and you could've stopped it!"
"SHUT UP!" He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He couldn't fathom the thought of what he must do.
"His first murder victim is Princess Nanami." Ryouko confessed.
That changed everything. His entire inner self fell while his body stood as he thought about the princess he became close with on the ground dead by Komaeda. He felt a resolution burn inside him. "Yes... Yes! Give me the power to ultimate hope!" He reached out his hand with all certainty. The woman grabbed it in an instant and had a bright light shine that became a ball that soon turned dark having the trees and animals nearby wither and die in despair.
The darkness disappeared leaving a male with long black hair and glowing red eyes. Ryouko turned into her real self, the queen of Despair, Junko Enoshima. "Despair! Despair! Despair! He was seriously too easy! That it makes it kind of boring. But it's very despairing of how he chose that sleepy bitch over you, huh?"
Nagito stood where he was. He was behind a tree but that tree was rotting on the ground painfully. He merely smiled. "Hinata-kun wouldn't be himself if he didn't. But now he is not him anymore. Now he is the Ultimate Despair."
Then the plan was set in motion. Hinata had convinced their friends to become one with despair that had them go against the kingdoms. The first start of the plan was that SHSL spy would trick Fukawa into chasing a clone Togami to be tricked into a trap door where she was stabbed by Genocider's scissors. Fukawa was to be reborn in another womb which gave more time than necessary.
Genocider thought that there was no problem since she could rule the kingdom alone until she was ambushed and killed too by Hiyoko, Nidai and Akane. Celestia was being attacked by Ishiki Madarai and due to his immortality, she was locked in a devil showdown with him where the bet was that the loser was to die and must be dead. Only if she knew of his immortality, she would have made a better bet. At Uranus, Sakura with her army general and lover were poisoned by Tsumiki and Hanamura. At Neptune, Asahina was stuck within her own mirror by Souda and Gundam where she was to die through starvation or suicide.
And due to their influence, especially Hinata who was now known as Izuru, on the other soldiers and people of the Outer planets, no one noticed that they fell into despair. Mahiru had used her camera to make doubles of the people that they had killed to assure the continuous despair if there were to be contact.

Today was Prince Luck's birthday. Chihiro was happily talking to his new daughter, Althea, who was tranferred to her android body. Princess Venus came up with the name Althea since it kind of sounds like Alternate which was really cool.
Althea was kind and sweet but is more straightforward with her thoughts. Chihiro had put in the adapting program in her, and she has already been acting like a regular person. She had decided on her own that she wanted to call her Mother and Leon to be Mama to tell the difference. Now she just had to find a way to make her age appropriately like them.
"Aging appropriately? Then that will require a program where I will need to die." Althea stated. The programmer was at a lost of words, not sure of what to say to her child. Yet the child giggled. "It's alright mother. It's a part of living, and I wish to not live forever without being with you or Mama. I just hope there is a place for me in the afterlife. Maybe we should ask Aunty Pluto to answer that!" She smiled cheerfully. "Though I don't like the feeling I'm having about death."
"It's alright Althea. Everyone has that feeling once in a while, but then you just have to focus on the positive side to life."
"Like being grateful. I wanna see Mama and thank her for giving me my name! I am truly happy for being alive that it feels like circuits about to burst!"
"Where does it feel like it's about to burst?"
"Right here." She pointed at her chest.
"Good! I would also feel like my chest is about to burst when I become very happy!"
"Does mama give you that happiness?" They held hands.
Her mother nodded. "Mhm. Other people, too, but for different reasons and sometimes it may feel different compared to others."
"I recognize that I am only an android, so I have doubt that I am feeling." Althea confessed.
"Well I can't know that. Honestly I know how I know I'm feeling, but I don't know for the rest of everyone. Sometimes Princess Kuwata confuses me that I don't know what she's thinking or feeling. Sometimes I don't know what I'm feeling either. Maybe there are people out there who can't feel at all. But if you want to find a way to teach you, then I'd be happy to try my hardest to make you happy."
"I...don't quite understand, but thank you mother! I'll try my very hardest too!"
A servant of the sun knocked on the door and then entered the room. "Miladies, your carriage awaits you."
"We're coming!" Chihiro told him excitedly. The servant nodded and then left. "Ready Althea?"
"Uhm, I think that what I'm feeling is nervous. Do I look okay?" She was wearing a sparkling orange layered dress.
"You look beautiful. Mama will thinks so, too, once she sees you." They walked out of the room while still holding hands.
At the birthday party, everyone was present except for the Kings and Queens who were currently being slaughtered by Izuru.
Naegi felt their despair, but didn't know it was theirs. He figured that it was Komaeda's birthday, and he shouldn't do anything to ruin it by some strange feeling. Her son in his prince uniform was currently dancing with the guests who were charmed by him. Prince Earth and Princess Star were still not present.
Princess Mars and Jupiter were talking boasteroisly at the food table. Princess Mercury was chatting with the important people. And Princess Venus was sitting next to her. "Kuwata, do you feel that?"
"Feel what?"
"I don't know. I feel strange."
"Maybe your pregnant!" She teased but then realized how unfunny that was if it was true. "Are you pregnant?"
"I don't know."
"Well you should go check! Luck will understand if it meant that he's finally going to have a little sister or brother!"
"No. I'll just wait until Kirigiri gets here. He can tell."
"Well, if you are pregnant, make me the godmother! I'll be the best godmother you'll ever have!"
Princess Naegi just laughed softly but that strange feeling didn't go away. Unknown to her, the last one standing in the Earth's meeting room was the Earth King himself. Everyone else was dead including the Moon King and Queen. Except for another one person in particular. The Queen of the Stars. "Where is she?" The King stayed silent. "Whatever. It shouldn't be too hard to know where she is." He had black smoke shoot from his mouth and then stopped once the king was nothing but bones. "That was boring."
Back at the party, Komaeda walked over to his adopted mother. "Mother, I will be in my room for a second. I accidentally spilled wine on my jacket."
"Okay. Take your time." Subconsciously she stood and kissed her son on the head as if saying goodbye. She didn't understand it but she wanted to hold him for dear life. She resisted the urge and let him walk away.
"Calm down Naegi, he'll come back." Princess Venus told her noticing how tense she became. "And there they are!" She got up once Princess Sun with their new daughter had finally arrived. Leon ran over to them to carry up his daughter for the first time.
Prince Earth and Princess Star were also present but they gave an expression that something was wrong. Princess Moon quickly walked towards them. "Do you two feel it too?"
They nodded. Kirigiri stated, "I tried to reach the other Kings and Queens but none of them are answering me."
"Is there something wrong?" The Moon general questioned.
"It's nothing-" The Star princess was cut short when their was a scream from Princess Mars.
"SISTER!" They looked towards her to see Princess Jupiter lying on the food table with Pekoyama stabbing her sword into her chest. Oowada was still alive and wide eyed as she gasped for air. "GET OFF OF HER!" Mars let out her flame. The swordswoman jumped away. "SISTER!" She held the woman thinking of a way to help her but then it was too late when Oowada died. Despair filled the room, and Mars just exploded of fire once her emotions could no longer be detained.
Princess Mercury protected everyone with her power. It finally stopped when Sonia had used her own star power to stop the flames from flowing out which had Ishimaru die from over burning from the inside.
"Sonia!" Nanami was shocked by what she had just done. Her warrior attacked her with a star beam. Kirigiri shielded her with his cape.
Leon faced Chihiro, "Get the both of you out of here!"
"What about you?!"
"I have to help."
"I need to help too!"
"You need to keep our daughter safe!" Leon attacked Sonia when she attacked again successfully knocking her out.
Chihiro was hesitant but she couldn't let her daughter be exposed to anymore of this. She picked her up and headed for the exit but then it was blocked by Ibuki who played her guitar that shook everyone. Althea felt her body malfunction. "NO! ALTHEA!"
"YOU BITCH!" Leon launched his attack but then that had distracted him from a bullet to the head by Kuzryuu.
"Ku-KUWATA!" Chihiro screamed. Everyone in the entire castle heard her. Including Komaeda who was standing in front of his window watching the rest of the moon city fall into despair from his room.
"Why do you have to make it end like this?" A woman questioned him in tears.
"Because only hope can be established like this. Hope becomes brighter at the worst of times. Especially a sacrifice."
"But all I can see is Despair."
"Shut up. You are my hostage. I don't need to explain myself to you."
"You don't mean that. You don't mean to be this type of person."
Komaeda grinned staring at his hand glowing a dark fire. His true power. "Oh yes I do."
Izuru flew into the kingdom with his long dark hair letting out black smoke. Everyone felt at lost of what to do. The first thing he did was kill everyone in the room including Princess Nanami by suffocating them in darkness. Princess Moon and and Princess Sun was not effected but Naegi knew Kirigiri would die so protected him by holding his body and sucking the darkness out of him to breathe but at the lost of her life.
Komaeda sat on his bed fully aware that her life was taken because he could no longer sense her presence. "Queen Usami."
"Yes?" She sobbed.
"Go."
She disappeared and appeared in the ball room to stop Izuru so Chihiro could use Rebirth. In the midst of it all, Komaeda had messed with their memories so they wouldn't remember him, and aimed all their souls to be reborn on Earth.
Then in the 21st century, he was reborn again reliving the torture of his life in the Despair kingdom of losing his parents and only being able to reach for hope to comfort him. The memories were clear in his mind as he befriended his friends from the past before only to fall into despair again and then die for the sake of hope.
