"So this is Eden? Meh, doesn't look very special to me." Shin said after being set on the ground by Blanc, with everyone else following suit, although Nepgear accidentally dropped Compa on her rear.

"Hey Blanc?" Shin addressed her while she was still in goddess form.

"What?" she replied in a rather foul but still stoic tone. Typical for Blanc, though she was still understandably frustrated seeing as how her sisters had been kidnapped.

"Baby blue's a good color on you." he said giving her a friendly smile leaving Blanc speechless.

"Uhm...thank you." she was dumbfounded and didn't quite know how to react since this was the first time that she had gotten flustered while in HDD. Her usual foul mouth and aggressive demeanor changed to something more docile and a light shade of pink.

"No problem I-agh! ow ow ow!" Shin attempted to get a reply out but was stopped by the purple sisters, one pulling on his ear, the other on his cheek.

"Oh Shin, you're just TOO NICE for your own good don't you think so Nep Jr. hmhmhm." Neptune said with a smile but aura of maliciousness around her.

"Goodness, your right sis. I think he needs to STOP being so overly friendly. people could get the WRONG IDEA hehehe." the same smile was on Nepgears, face however her aura was a bit more frightening,

"Knock it off, all of you!" Raito and Histoire both yelled simultaneously and with the same frown on their face, getting the purple sisters to back off, but Shin just stood there unphased.

"Wow, you two are really in sync huh? You sure you're not dating?" Shin teased the two giving them a smirk.

"What!?" Histoire yelled our with an incredibly embarrassed look on her face. Raito looked similar, but was a bit more annoyed than anything else.

"Geez, that again? I already told you, we just met yesterday, so there's nothing going on between us. Besides, I don't just sleep around with every cute girl I see, unlike you." Raito told him adamantly, although Histoire looked a bit downtrodden by his words, and Compa pumped her fist in the air saying 'yes' under her breath, a little relieved that she might have a chance with the dense fighter.

"Mhm, alright gotcha. Whatever you say stuward... and seriously, dick move dude. Dick move." Shin gave them a wink and a thumbs up, causing the young man to only roll his eyes.

"Well, let's move out into this very suspicious but pretty plain looking forest. I'm sure if we just go straight, some sort of plot convenience will pop up eventually." Shin said as he began to walk.

"Uh, Shin? why don't we just-"

But it was too late, before Raito could finish his sentence, Shin had already began to lead the team, leaving both Histoire and Raito baffled and Compa a little confused.

"How and why...?" Raito asked himself.

"*Sigh*, I guess he does sort of exhibit the traits of a leader when motivated enough these days. No matter how ridiculous he sounds, he can always persuade a crowd." Histoire said, not noticing how polite that sounded.

"Wow, don't go off falling for him too, otherwise things in Planeptune will never get done." Raito said, half irked and half joking around.

"Wh-what! Never! Please refrain from saying such ridiculous things Raito!" Histoire said to him with as much proper etiquette as possible even though she was slightly offended at Raito's comment.

"Alright, calm down. It's not like you'd warm up to him anyways." Raito visibly annoyed just shrugged it off and began walking ahead, leaving Histoire behind.

"I already have someone I've fallen for...it's you." she muttered under her breath and she closed her tiny fist realizing that what she wants may never become a reality. Setting aside her relative size, she's the Tome of the World, and is every bit eternally young as the CPU's, and Raito is a human, bound my mortality. Even if he did return her feelings, it wouldn't last for very long.

Several minutes had passed, still walking through the forest instead of flying, Blanc finally got fed up.

"AAAUUGH! WHY THE HELL ARE WE WALKING WHEN WE COULD BE FLYING!?"

This caught the attention of everyone, mainly Shin who Blanc seemed to have been addressing in particular.

"Huh?" he gave her a dumbfounded look, that look really pissed Blanc off.

"Screw this! I'm going to save my freaking sisters! You seem to be in no hurry!" Blanc yelled with frustration in her tone and a hint of despair in her eyes.

*Grab*

"What the-!? Let go asshole!" Blanc yelled as she was pulled back down mid flight by Shin and landed on his chest.

"Hey! Let me go you freakin' pervert!" she yelled at him with a look of distaste but a bright shade of red across her face. She gave some resistance, but eventually didn't even move a muscle. she only let herself be held by the boy for a short while.

"We can't fly. I know you're worried about Ram and Rom and you want to save them ASAP, but we can't risk being spotted. Were less likely to be seen on foot, so it's best to play it safe, at least until we regroup with Noire and the others. If they see us flying, they'd zero in on all of us and we'd be killed. I'm not willing to risk all your lives like that, much less put your sisters in even more danger then they already are." he spoke to her looking deep into her eyes.

Everyone was at a loss with what was said and done. The purple sisters we wearing soft smiles on there faces as they blushed, Obviously touched by his kind gesture. Alice, Histoire and Compa were very much surprised, and as for Raito...

("Shin's actually being level head?! Man, now I really don't know him as much as I thought. The fact that he thought this out the way he did is unbelievable. Usually he'd go gung ho and just take out everything in sight, at least that's how I'd see him act.") Raito was completely caught off-guard when he saw a spark of intelligence enter Shins brain. At the same time though, he couldn't help but smile at the fact that Shin can be mature and kind when he wants to be.

"Fine." Blanc pouted angrily, calming down from her earlier rage and averted her gaze from him, still blushing furiously. Her heart began to pound rather loud in her head at this point.

"Hm? You okay?" Shin looked at her with a dense look not noticing her flustered expression. Granted, me might not be as dense as Raito, considering he slept with two goddess already, but he still has his moments every now and then.

In the background the Purple Sisters were seething with jealousy, the most surprising of the two was Nepgear who had been closing her fist and biting her lip as she saw Shin hold Blanc close.

"Hmm? Now that's a rare sight. I wonder what our favorite girl next door has on her mind? Maybe I should have a little 'talk' with her later, ehehehehe." Alice had taken notice and her curiosity of the candidates new behavior was peeked.

For a while now, the group aimlessly walked in the forest, hoping to spot something or at least see where they are, and at this rate, everyone is getting a little tired. While Alice is perfectly fine, Nepgear is getting more and more worried for her fellow candidates by the minute, Neptune and Shin looked straight up bored, the latter wishing something, anything would happen even if it's just a simple fight with a dogoo, Compa looks more tired than anything else, Histoire and Raito are on high alert, and Blanc while keeping her stoic facade, is practically screaming on the inside, getting sick of walking around while those government agents are doing true goddess knows what to her sisters right now.

"Hmm? Hey, what's that up ahead?" Nepgear point on forward towards a pale yellow light coming from outside the forest. Deciding they have no time to lose, everyone simply ran towards the light until they were outside the forest and in a clearing. The next thing they saw was a massive settlement right in front of a mountain range, roughly half the size of a landmass. It mainly consisted of a few small buildings and towers around the edges of its borders with a massive rectangular building, assuming to be some sort of basilicom, in the epicenter of the settlement. Everything is colored primarily a neon yellow and dark grey.

"Oh, so THIS must be Eden, aw...still doesn't look anything special." Shin spoke up in a bored and slightly disappointed tone.

"Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with you bro. Looking at this up close, it kind of looks like an oversized apartment complex. Not very appealing."

"Maybe there still under construction?" Compa asked curiously.

"Forget about all that random crap and let's just go already! This is clearly where there keeping my sisters, so get your asses in gear!" Only to be answered to an understandably impatient Blanc, who began making her way to Eden before Histoire stopped her.

"Blanc, wait! Don't you even have a plan of action? Who knows what's going to happen once we go in there."

"It's simple: We bust in, bash any assholes ballsy enough to get in our way, grab Ram and Rom and get the hell out! Simple enough, right!?"

"Oh White Heart, always the impatient one I see. Befitting of a useless goddess like yourself."

"Huh!? Who the hell said that!? Come on out and show yourself!" Everyone looks around for the origin of the voice, but see no one thus far.

"...Everyone look! Up there on the rooftop!" Raito spots something and everyone looks to where he's looking. On the roof of the main building was some sort of oriented throne, and taking a seat in it was...

"The hell!? Yuto!?"

"Wait what the goodness!? Why is he here!?" Nepgear yelled out basically the same question as everyone else here, baffled as to how and why Yuto Sanada, Shins childhood friend from earth and fellow HDG User, could be doing here of all places.

"Greeting everyone. So glad at least some of you could make it. I was beginning to think you'd be a no show, although I see Green Heart and Black Heart aren't here. Must be fashionably late." Yuto spoke in a proper, yet incredibly arrogant tone.

"Yeah, or maybe those two sluts didn't even bother to show up. Peh, typical." Only for, shockingly enough, Renya of all people to come from behind the throne and spoke like the douchey false god that he was.

"Y-You!" Shin immediately recognized Renya and began seething at him, there first meeting at Lowee still fresh on his mind, with him calling both Vert and Noire sluts just poured gasoline unto the fire...So yeah, he's kind of pissed.

"Renya too!? Oh man, we are soooo screwed!" Neptune yelled out, shocked that at least two of there enemies are here, and from the looks of it, working together.

"Great, now we have TWO douchebags to deal with!" And now seeing them has made Blanc even more furious than she already was.

"Watch your mouth. Do you even realize who're your talking to White Heart?"

"Renya, cool it. We don't need this kind of drama when we are about to introduce ourselves to Gameindustri. Let's at least give them a warm welcome. don't you think?" Yuto spoke to the false god with a voice of an arrogant superior.

"Tch, whatever you say boss." Said person just backed off for the time being.

"Wait, boss!?" Everyone that had known Renya were shocked at the sudden revelation, but are now more confused than ever. How could the one person that arrogantly called himself god now be Yutos lackey?

"Aw, it seems I have a bit of explaining to do. But first, a reintroduction." Yuto stands up from his throne and cleared his throat and looked towards the group as if they were lesser beings.

"Greetings to you all. My name is Yuto Sanada. Former heir to the Sanada Multinational Conglamerate, HDG User of Leanbox, and..." With a wide smirk that basically said 'kneel worms!', he spoke as if he were the king of heroes.

"...The new Chairman of the Celestian Government."

"..."

"WHAAAAAT!?" Everyone present was absolutely shocked and awed with what Yuto just said.

"Whoa! Didn't see that one coming." Even Alice seemed genuinely surprised at these turn of events.

"That's utterly preposterous! How in Gameindustri were you able to-!"

"A lot of things change when a demon foolishly changed the world Histoire. So much so that not even you and your tome can see coming." Yuto answered Histoire as if he were her superior.

"Wha?" She was confused at first, but she quickly pieced together what he meant.

"The Reset." Raitos words more than confirmed her fears, clearly telling her that things might've changed a lot more than she thought.

"So you did catch on. Well done to you, not like it's going to matter though."

"Oh, now I get it...Histy, what's he talking about exactly?" Neptune spoke up, still pretty confused over what's going on.

"To put it simply Neptune, Yuto became the new leader of Celestia thanks to my dad using the Divine Reset." Alice answered her pretty bluntly.

"Very astute Alice Lilum. I expected no less from the forbidden love child between an Overlord and a Celestian."

"Wait, what did he just say!?" Nepgear yelled out with everyones attention now directed at Alice, who just looks the same as usual.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you guys. I'm actually a Holy Devil." She said with a hint of casual pride.

"A Holy Devil!? I thought that race became extinct after the fall of Tari!" Histoire was the most surprised out of them all, being the Tome of Gameindustri and all.

"Nepu! Two shocking reveals in one chapter!? Man, now this story is starting to get crazy."

"Yeah, no shit. What's next? Is Raito going to be revealed as some sort of rogue HDG user?" Said person had to use every ounce of willpower to not give it away to Shins very lucky guess. Before anyone could speak anymore, a brief flash of light made itself known and a loud crash was heard straight after. Everyone looked to see White Heart with her axe firmly panted into the ground, and she looked absolutely livid.

"Would you all shut up already!? We're not hear for stupid banter!" White Heart reminded the group, and then turned her already seething gaze to the pair before them.

"If what you just said is true, then tell me...WHERE. ARE. MY! SISTERS!?" She roared furiously, her rage now at its absolute limit.

"Hm, I know not of what you'r-"

"Don't give me that shit Sanada! I know for a fact that your men kidnapped them and brought them here! Now tell me where they are before I turn you into a bloody mess!" Yuto just raised an eyebrow and sighed in mock defeat.

"Very well. Renya, bring them here." Yuto commanded, and Renya reluctantly obeyed, if only because he didn't want to deal with the twins. Within minutes, Renya came back with Ram and Rom in tow, only for the group to gasp in surprise that they are not only wearing chained collars and torn, raggad dresses, but they both looked terribly ill to the point where the collars are the only thing keep them from falling over.

("Neither of them are in any shape to be even outside, much less standing. Shouldn't be surprised though, since it is the government we're talking about.") Raito thought to himself solemnly as he saw the twin candidates being dragged before them.

"Ram! Rom!" Blanc called out to her sisters, now a lot more worried than angry.

"Blanc...help. *sniff* It really hurts *cough*cough*." Rom spoke hoarsely, clearly showing that she and her sister may be getting worse.

"Blanc, please help*cough*! Before they do something mean to-!"

"Pipe it you little brat!" Renya yelled at Ram before she could finish and proceeded to smack her upside the head, causing her to fall and grasp her head in immense pain. Everyone, even Alice flinched at Renyas needless cruelty.

"GGRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Blanc on the other hand just grabbed her axe before anyone else could react and savagely charged at Renya will the full intent to kill.

"YOU BASTAAARD!" With her axe upraised, she was inches away from bringing it down on Renya, who just stood there with a cocky smirk.

"Blanc, look out!" She could barely hear Shins warning before...

"HYAAA!" Out of nowhere, someone came at Blanc at alarming speeds, and before she knew it a boot was rammed straight into her face and was sent plummeting straight back to the ground to everyones shock, especially the twins who cried out to there big sister as she fell.

"Blanc!" Everyone ran up to her as the smoke cleared, revealing a heavily injured Blanc, transformed back into her human form, struggling to get back up. Just as they were about to reach her, Renya fired a beam of light at the group, only for both Shin and Raito to get everyone to back away from it just in time.

"Urrgh, who the hell did that!"

"Aw, Yellow Heart. Just in time."

"Hiya Yuto, Renya!" Everyone looked up to the source of the high-pitched and chilkdlike voice...

"WHAAAT!?" Only for all the girls to yell out with who they're seeing right now.

"Who is that!?" Both boys screamed roughly around the same time. Floating right beside Yuto was a fair skinned young woman with bright peach-colored eyes with power symbols in them and messy, pale-blonde hair worn in a ponytail. She wears a single bathing-suit like piece that has black or dark blue markings adorned on the suit itself. She has an odd collar-piece around her neck, and wears plain white gloves above the elbow in length. She also has on above the knee boots with kneepad pieces and blue/black coloring at the top and back of the leg. At the ankle on the front is a red glowing marking on both legs. On her forearms are what seem to be large bracers with large golden-yellow claws. The most noticeable thing about her though is...

"What the hell is up with that rack of hers!?"

"Yeah, there even bigger than Verts!" As per there screams, Yellow Heart does in fact have an almost unbelievably large pair of breasts that look like they could easily be a size 100.

"Everyone, I like to introduce you all to Edens Guardian and CPU: Yellow Heart."

"She's a CPU!? But how-!?"

"Celestia has it's way Histoire, you should know at least that much by now." Renya interrupted the Oracle mockingly, all the while seems to be drooling a little over Yellow Heart very well-endowed physique.

"But anyways, yeah, she's a bonafide CPU. You can practically tell just by looking at her. Those eyes, that hair, the plug-suit, *gulp* those heavenly melons. Those are the signs of a true goddess, something that none of you flatties down there can ever hope to be."

"NEPU!"

"EXCUSE ME!"

"GRRRRRR!" Blanc, Neptune and Histoire were incredibly offended by Renyas perverted and down-right rude remark...

"*STOMP* WELL EXCUSE US FOR BEING FLAT!" But none were angrier at the moment than Alice, who looked like she would be more than enough for Yellow Heart, Yuto and Renya combined. Shin was stifling back a snicker at his sisters near comical outburst, Compa looked pretty jealous despite being big chested herself, and Raito could only sweatdrop at the A-Cup angst before him.

"Ahem, my associates ramblings aside, now that most of the guests and our goddess are here..." Yuto got up from his throne and looked unto the horizon.

"...It's time for our nation to make its grand debut!" He yelled out as he clapped his hands twice, not only revealing a multitude of satelite dishes and cameras spread across Eden, but there were also a few helicopters flying around out of nowhere. Each camera pointing straight at the newly appointed Chairman.

All across Gameindustri, every televison and oter electronic devices were now showing Yuto wearing an obviously fake smile for all to see. Everyone was understanably confused over what's going on. Back at Eden, if one were to look closely in a nearby bush, they would find a seperate camera Crew filming everything from afar, and a certain short blonde wearing a pink lolita dress found among them.

"*Ahem* Hail all of Gameindustri! My name is Yuto Sanada, the Chairman of the Celestian Goverment. Some of you are probably wondering why you are seeing this right now. Well the anwser is simple: due to recent events pertaining to our very own CPU's and a certain Overlord-in-Training, it has come to the governments attention that Gameindustri is beginning to go into some dark times. Crime rates have gone up, shares for all four nations are at an all-time low, and in general everything just seems completely unsightly. So we've took it upon ourselves to build a nation of our own, not just to only correct the wrongs made by some 'certain' individuals, but to build a Utopia for all to live in peace. And with our nations new goddess, Yellow Heart, we are sure to make that dream into a reality." Yuto gestured to Yellow Heart, who just simply smiled and waved cheerfully. Most people in Gameindustri right now were in awe of her appearance. Women wishing to be something like her, and men...well, lets leave that to our imagination.

"Add to that, we have a pre-established system running in the works as of this moment, to which I dubb "The Merit System". I shall not reveal what it entails, but rest assured, it shall benefit everyone in the long run: lowing crime and pirating, equality to all, and assurance of a comfortable life for everyone. Note that we always have the peoples interest in mind and that we shall always do the right thing. And as for any who would oppose us..." The cameras view turns to the group, giving a clear view of an angry Blanc and everyone else.

"Demons, Rouge CPUs and even rebellious humans, shall all be punished properly by Celestian Law. Such scum and villany have no place in our world, and they shall know our divine punishment. That shall be all for now. It is a pleasure to meet you all, and we shall be welcoming you to Eden with open arms." With that, the cameras shut off, the helicopters land who knows where and the satelites lower down. In the bushes, Abnes and her crew are still recording, her intuition telling there's more than this than Yuto is saying. Yuto looks to the group, with the false smile now replaced with an arrogant grin.

"So, how did you all like that little performance. I'm sure the people will be flocking her in a matter of hours with that little speech of mine." Yuto said proudly, not even going to hide the fact that he has an ulterior motive to all of this.

"Yawn. seriously Yuto, I thought I was going to fall asleep from all that. I doubt anyone would listen to that load of horseshit." Shin answered, albeit with actual boredom in his tone.

"Yeah! Anyone can tell that you're hiding something behind that cheezy villianous smile of yours. It's basic stuff here." Neptune backed up Shin, though she could've worded that a little better.

"True words...for anyone that's genre savvy that is. But as you all tell, the people of this world are pretty fickle and dependent. They'd believe anything they are told, even if it's a bold-faced lie, as long as it sounds favorable to them." As Yuto said that, Neptune, Compa, Histoire and Blanc turned there heads toward a confused Nepgear, looking at her each with dead-pan expressions.

"...Whaaaaat?"

"Anyways, after all that, any actions you take now would be considered evil to them. No amount of appeal to the masses can help you then, especially with the reputation you have now, Shin."

"Bah, whatever. All you said is a load of crock anyway you slice it. Also, are you still going on about that whole Merit System of yours? Geez, I've seen some villans in media that have a lot of drive in there goals, but you are really taking the cake here Yuto."

"Shin, do you know something about this?" Histoire asked him, genuinely curious, yet cautious about what he might be talking about.

"Know about this. Pfft, that Affluent Progeny over there has been talking about it back on earth, ever since we were kids. It basically goes like this: He wants to bring in everyone who supposedly has talents, strength, skill, will and in general just useful to him to come into his inner circle and work. As for anyone else, he couldn't care less about, even so far as saying that the world would be better off if all of those 'useless' people would just drop dead. It's completely stupid, I tell ya." Shin explains the gist of Yutos 'Merit System' to them in his usual tone, and even with that, everyone, including Neptune, doesn't like the sound of it.

"It's a bit more complex than that, but I'm at least impressed that you actually got the gist of things Shin. Yes, with my Merit System, I plan to pick out any and all of those I deem useful, whether it be for there talents, there intelligence, or being simply useful, I shall recruit them unto Celestia and with them, we shall make an ideal and perfect world."

"And what of everyone else. The common man, the poor and people who are just simply living there lives. What of them!" Histoire demanded an answer from the new Chairman...though she would quickly regret asking.

"Simple...We wipe them out. Any and everyone that is deemed worthless or unnecessary, regardless if they be man, woman or child, shall be hunted down and exterminated. They shall be slashed, strangled, and slaughtered. Beaten, stabbed, and crushed. Garroted and impaled. Shot and executed without mercy. Those vermin have no place in my pure and ideal world, so they must be exterminate. Simple as that." The only word that can describe Yutos plan is 'Abominable'. No other word can describe the utterly disgusting, sadistic and outright heinous words that were spoken by the one called Yuto Sanada. Everyones reactions could be summed up like so:

"T-T-That's horrible." Compa said, terrified and on the verge of crying.

"Psychotic fucker." Blanc was still seething, but couldn't show much anger due to her injuries.

"YOU BASTARD! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO JUDGE WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES!?" Raito was understandably furious, inches away from busting out his HDG and punching him, Renya and Yellow Heart to kingdom come.

"I agree! No one would support you if your system involves the deaths of millions! That's just abhorrent!" Histoire was equally furious, utterly sick to her stomach after hearing all that.

"So do I. You're plan is just vile anyway you look at it. I mean for goodness sake, what you described is nothing short of mass murder on a global scale!" Nepgear was equal part terrified and angered.

("Oh geez, what's a Nep to do in this situation. Seriously, how can I break the mood and tension when it's this intense?") Neptune was debating inwardly, silently accepting the fact that no amount of repeated gags or fourth-wall breaks can balance out this level of intensity.

"...Sheesh, and you guys call us demons?" Alice was pretty impressed, yet startled at Yutos proclamation.

"Yeah, seriously. I knew you were an elitist, but now your starting to look like a carbon copy of Gil**me*h, but without a huge loadout of swords." Shin still spoke casually, but on the inside was not both slightly scared and outright disgusted at his childhood friend.

"Well, it doesn't matter what you think. The public didn't see it, and so they don't know what I have planned for them until it is far too late. As the old saying goes, 'out of sight, out of mind'." Yuto simply ignored everyones responses.

"Anyways, now that you know of my plans, I can at least let you in on what I'll do next: The Annexation of Lowee unto Eden, the rehabilitation of the White sisters, and..." Yuto glared at Blanc as if she were an ant as Renya charged up a massive ball of light into his right hand.

"..The execution of White Heart."

"Wha!?"

"Your death and the annexation of your land shall be the perfect stepping stone for our cause. Renya, would you do the honor of wiping this useless goddess from Gameindustri."

"Waaaaaaay ahead of ya Yuto." Renya already had his hand clocked back, and before anyone could react...

"REVOLUTION!" He fired it straight at the downed CPU at blinding speed and crashed upon her, leaving a huge impact.

"Blanc!" Everyone including her own sisters cried out to her, worried if she is alive or not. As the smoke cleared, it revealed that she was at least OK...If not for the fact that Shin was standing in front of her, clearly taken the full brunt of Renyas attack as if he were a human meat shield. Both Nep sisters gasped in shock while Blanc just looked at him both relieved and worried.

"Shin!" She called out to him, only for the overlord-in-training to turn his head to her with his a goofy yet pained smile.

"Hey Blanc, you OK?" Shin tried to act calm and coolly, but on the inside, his entire body was practically on fire. Since he's a demon, holy attacks like that do a lot more damage.

"ME!? What about you!? You took that entire blast full force!"

"*cough*cough* To be honest, no. Everything's in pain right now, and I think I might've sprained something while running to you. Not one of my better ideas, but as long as you're OK, then I don't give two flying dogoos." Shin reassured her, only for the CPU to shed small tears after hearing that.

"Shin...you idiot."

"Are we done with this romantic dribble, because I got an extra large spirit blast with both your names on it." Everyone looked up, and sure enough, Renya had already charged up another attack, only this time, it seemed powerful enough to kill them both in one go, and given how fast the first one fired, no one would be able to intercept it...except for one.

("Damn, this is bad. If that attack hits, they're both dead. With my HDG, I'm the only one fast enough and strong enough to intercept and push back that attack, but that would mean revealing it to everyone here...Guess I have no choice.") Raito gets into a stance, ready to charge in at anytime to intercept Renyas attack.

"Bye bye loser! See ya never!" Just as Renya launched his attack at the two of them...

"BOOST!" Raito roared out as his HDG appeared and he immediately charged in.

"Raito wait!" Histoire tried to call out to him, but to no avail as he's already too far away. Just as the massive ball of light was about to hit them, and as Shin grasped Blanc in an embrace, hoping that he can at least shield her, Raito appeared before them with his right arm upraised and already charged an attack of his own.

"Flash Breaker!" With that he fired his attack, now even more powerful with his HDG on, straight toward Renyas. As they collided, it seemed like a stalemate, only for it to be quickly resolved with Raitos attack quickly pushing the ball of light back straight at Renya.

"OH SHI-!" Renya ducked and cowered for his life as the energy ball flew past him and exploded a few kilometers away. Just as he made sure everything's OK, he just looked a bit furious.

"Alright, who did that!? Who has the balls to fire on- Huh?" Renya looked down towards where Shin and Blanc were, only to take notice of the young man standing in front of them.

"Hooo, what do we have here? A fifth HDG User?" Yuto said, his curiosity intrigue over what just transpired.

"What the hell?" Blanc was honestly relieved that Raito came when he did, but was confused over the fact that he has an HDG on him.

"Whoa...called it!" Shin literally called, a little proud that he correctly guessed that his best bud and stu was an HDG user as well.

"What the Goodness!?"

"Nepu!?"

"Rai Rai's and HDG user too!?"

"Oh no."

"Urgh, why the hell does he seem so familiar now?" everyone was surprised at the 3rd reveal of the day, Histoire was worried over what will happen now that he's been exposed, and Alice just looked on curiously.

As Yuto sat on his throne with a sinister but curious look at the opposing force, he couldn't help but wonder who this rogue HDG user was. He didn't seem like a threat at all compared to Shin however he did have a certain "wild card" aura around him.

"Hmm." He looked to his side and saw Renya look upon Raito as if he's seen him before.

"Is something the matter Renya?"

"I can't put my finger on it, but I coulda sworn I've seen this guy before." Renya cupped his chin for a moment before snapping his fingers in revelation and pointed straight at the young man.

"Oh, now I remember. You're actually on Celestia's most wanted! To be specific, you're criminal #777, Raito Sumeragi." Just as Renya finished, Alice clapped her hands together.

"Oh yeah. Isn't he the kid who stole an HDG prototype from Celestia 9 years ago?" Everyone in the group just turned to Raito, understandably surprise not at the fact that he's and HDG user, but...

"Raito, how old are you?" Shin asked.

"18, why?" Raito answered, causing everyone to be silent for a moment.

"So you stole that HDG..." Blanc started.

"When you were 9 years old!?" Both Noire and Uni finished.

"Whoa Rai! You must've been born a Stu if you could pull that off!" Even Neptune was caught off guard by this small revelation. Alice just lightly chuckled to herself.

"Well, well, well, how very out of character for a Stu like you. Eh whatever, I'm sure you must of had a good and non vindictive reason for doing what you did."

"Ahaa, now I see. You're the boy that was raised by demons before our agents came and got you. That would explain you're fearless yet reckless attitude." Yuto said with an air of superiority, looking down on Raito despite the fact that they are both human and HDG users. Raito just stayed silent, but he was clenching his fist tight without drawing blood, trying his best not to let his anger show.

"Well, this should prove to be entertaining. Just be warned though, you're about to go toe to toe with Edens goddess, so don't be too surprised if you end up in a body bag. As the old saying goes, A candle that burns half as long..."

"Shines twice as bright." Raito finishes, thrusting his HDG in front of him while giving Yuto, Renya and Yellow Heart a heated yet determined glare.

"Even if that's true, I've got to try...BOOST!" Raito yelled out as a massive surge of energy coursed through his being. It didn't have the same magnitude as Shins did, but it was enough to level the ground beneath him as volts of electricity from his HDG start to travel around and spark off his body. Raito takes a stance, ready and expecting anything to happen.

("The fool has no idea what he's going up against. Yellow Hearts power surpasses the combined might of all the other CPU's, so he has absolutely no chance of winning, even if he is an HDG user. I'll give him points for bravado, but that can only get you so far.") Yuto thought with a sinister smirk, knowing full well that her victory is assured.

"Well, if you're so willing to give your live, then well gladly oblige. Yellow Heart! Show this peon what it means to defy us!" Yellow Heart perked up at Yutos command and looked to him in child-like excitement.

"OH, really Yuto!? Can I, Can I!?"

"Of course. Fight til your hearts content."

"Yaaay!"

"Hold up, I'm not going to let Raito fight-" Shin attempted to intervene knowing his buddy, HDG user or not, had his limitations.

"Stay right there Shin!" but Raito stopped Shin in his tracks by holding his arm out. "I'll handle this."

"*Sigh*, whatever you say. But if shit ends up going south, don't be afraid to tag out. I'm itching for a good fight anyways hehehe." Shin gave Raito a devious smile with a slight twinkle in his eye as though he was a battle hungry maniac just looking for an excuse to fight.

("What the hell is gotten into him?...Oh right, demonic hormones.") Raito thought as he sighed but turned his attention to his opponent who was getting rather rowdy. Calming his mind and steeling himself for what's to come, he spoke to his opponent in a calm tone.

"I hope you're prepared...Here I come Yellow Heart!"

"OK! Let's have a lot of fun, big bro!" Yellow Heart responded as if she was asked to play a game with someone. She then dashed off at break-neck speed towards Raito and went in for a high-speed jab with her claws. Just as it look like it was about to land, Raito performed a neck spin, narrowly dodging her punch.

"Eh?" Without giving her time to think, Raito gave her a hard punch to her gut and sent Yellow Heart backwards by a few feet. She skid to a stop and barely looked phased, as if that punch did barely anything.

"HAAA!" Not willing to give his enemy the next move, Raito dashed forward at high-speeds and gave her a 3 hit combo to her face. He then proceeded to give her a high-kick to the head, but she bent her body backward, narrowly avoiding it.

"HYAA!" Jumping a bit back, she launched herself toward Raito, only for him to twist his body around and avoid her attack. He then ran towards her as she turned around and skid to a stop once more. when Raito was up close to her, he attempted to knee her in the face, but she moved her head to her left and jab at Raito from his right. Seeing this, Raito palmed her hand away and twisted his body to give her a kick to the head. Yellow Heart avoided the kick by ducking under it, and by placing her hands on the ground and gave Raito a kick in the gut as he was in mid-air, sending him flying a ways back. Performing some backflips, Raito regained his balance as he landed and began charging energy.

"Aura Spark!" He fired one straight at Yellow Heart, only for her to claw it out of her way entirely without much effort.

"Hard Break Kick!" She charged in front of Raito and was about to give him a round-house kick. Using his enhanced speed, he narrowly avoided her attack. As he rolled to a stop, to his shock he noticed that her attack caused a nearby boulder to be reduced to dust.

"This girl has monster strength. If I'm hit with even one of those attacks, I'm a goner. Better rely on my speed on this one." Raito muttered under his breath as he boosted himself once more, with even more sparks flying off his body. Yellow Heart turned her head to him and they both stared eachother down for a little while.

"HAAAAAA!"

"HAYAAAA!" In an instant, they both charged at eachother and began to punch, kick, evade and block eachothers attacks at very high speeds, with Raito being the faster one between the two. While all that was going down, Renya looked pretty nervous while Yuto looked quite pleased at the spectacle before him.

"Uum Yuto, I think we've got a problem here."

"Oh don't get so anxious Renya. There's no way he can win against her."

"How can you be so sure? I mean look, he's actually keeping up with her!"

"Yeah, but is he doing any real damage?" To those words, Renya looked a bit more closely and saw that while Raito is definitely getting in a lot of hits, Yellow Heart just shrugs them off and keeps going.

"Exactly. His only real advantage in this fight is his speed, and that speed will mean nothing if he can't do any real damage. He was practically doomed from the start." Yuto snickered to himself as the fight raged on.

On the others side, Shin and company have varied reactions to the fight so far, ranging from being impressed with Raitos skill to worried over his well-being the longer this fight went on. People like Shin, Vert and even Noire were in the former category since that even though he is human, the fact that he lasted this long against a CPU, by himself no less, is rather impressive. Histoire and Compa were in the latter category considering that the man they may have feelings for is risking his neck out to stop them, and are both honestly unsure if he can win or not. As for the fighters themselves, Yellow Heart looks like she's having the time of her life while Raito is starting to show small signs of fatigue.

("Damn, I'm going to get nowhere at this rate. If I'm going to win this fight, I need to do something now while I'm still in the game. Her instincts are very sharp though, sharper than mine even, so I need to be mindful of what to do next, otherwise she might've already won.) Raito thought, trying to formulate some sort of strategy before Yellow Heart starts getting ahead of him. They continued to clash for a while before both of there fists collided with one another, causing the two of them to be blown back a ways.

"Gotcha!" Yellow Heart dashed on forward to give Raito a hard punch straight to his forehead. It looked like it hit it's mark... until Raito slipped away from it at the very last millisecond.

"And now I've got you!" Taking advantage of his momentum and Yellow Hearts confusion, Raito punched her in the face with his HDG with everything he had, sending her flying a fair distance away and crashing into a nearby clearing. Wasting no time, Raito boosted once more and charged a lot of energy into his HDG to the point where volts of lightning were violently sparking all around his arm. He then fired all that energy into the sky where Yellow Heart currently was and clenched his fist tightly.

"Ionic Storm!" With one swift motion, he slammed his fist onto the ground and all that energy came crashing at Yellow Heart in the form of multiple lightning bolts striking consecutively at a rapid pace with pinpoint accuracy, with the sky screaming and the earth shattering below as each bolt hit its mark.

As the calm of the storm finally came, everyone present was in shock and awe with what they just saw. Even Yuto seemed a little impressed, but only a little. Renya was currently panicking, with the thought of Yellow Hearts defeat almost making him want to piss his pants.

"Relax my friend relax, it's only half-time."

Raito was standing still, slightly exhausted with how much energy he used in that attack. Just as he was about to turn around, he felt her presence stir, causing him to stay perfectly still like a statue and closed his eyes, letting go of some of his senses and focusing on hearing and smell to see where she is.

("Come on. I know you're still out there. Show yourself.") Raito couldn't hear anything except his own breathing, In his mind, he search everywhere to see if she was in the vicinity, until...

"Heads up!" He heard her voice coming from behind, and judging from the sound of it, she was coming in on him hot. On instinct, he crouched down onto the ground and avoided her back attack entirely.

"Rising Break!" without a moments thought, he charge electricity into his fist and gave her an uppercut from below, sending her flying and landing on her butt a ways from him. Getting back up and shacking of his fatigue, he looked to Yellow Heart and although her white jumpsuit is torn in some places, bruises and cut marks being made known to her and overall looking pretty battle damaged, she gets back up as if nothing is wrong... except for the fact that she seems to be clutching at her chest in slight pain.

"Oww, you hit me in my boobie!" Yellow Heart yelled out with small tears in her eyes.

"Oh sorry, really wasn't aiming for that." Raito apologized to his enemy whilst shaking his hand, feeling at least a little disgusted at himself for touching a woman inappropriately.

"*sigh* I've got to admit one thing Yellow Heart, you have the mind and attitude of a child, but you got quite a bit of guts and honor too. I like that. It's a shame you work for them though." Raito said, praising his opponent if only a little.

"Oh, well for a human, you're actually a lot of fun big bro! I can't remember the last time I enjoyed myself this much!" Yellow Heart replied while bouncing a bit, causing her abnormally large chest to bounce lightly. From the feeling he's getting from behind him, Raito could only guess that's Blanc, Uni and Alice being envious and Vert giving her a death glare.

"That right? Well *cracks knuckles* ready for round 2 then? I'm still raring to go." Raito said confidently, although in reality it's a bluff so no one has to worry so much.

"Well, as much as I want to, and I mean I reeaaaaaalllly want to, but Yuto might get mad at me if I take too long, so..." Yellow Heart closes her eyes and stand perfectly still. Before anyone could think...

"See ya later!"

"Wha-!?"

"CARNAGE FANG!" Without even a moments hesitation, Yellow Heart rushed toward Raito at blinding speeds and flew toward him getting ready to kick him with both feet.

"...Oh Shi-" That's all he could mutter before she kicked him in the face, and then proceed to beat him around like a ragdoll with a series of hard hitting, high speed kicks. Just as it looks like she ended her combo, she rushed in front of him and slashed at him with her claws, leaving a deep claw mark on his chest and sent him flying in the air. As a finisher, she jumped high into the air above him and delivered an Inazuma Kick to where she clawed him, sending him crashing into the ground and forming a massive crater.

"Holy shit!"

"Raito!"

"Rai Rai!"

"Ooh man! The Stu is down, I repeat, the Stu is down!"

"Yeouch. Looks like someone's gonna feel that in the morning."

Understandably, everyone was shocked at how badly Raito got beat. There thoughts were quickly interrupted by the cheers of the Yellow CPU from above.

"Yaaay! I won, I won! Did you see that Yuto!? Did you see that!?"

"Yes, a splendid performance Yellow Heart. Surely that would be enough for him to know his pla-" Before Yuto could finish, a lightning bolt shot out from the smoke coming from the crater, flashed past Yellow Heart and singed his left cheek, causing him to flinch in slight pain and Renya to yelp in terror.

"That's what you get for jinxing yourself!" Shin yelled out to the egomaniac as he lightly touched his cheek, only to hiss in pain. The smoke clear around the crater revealing a bruised and crushed Raito, just barely supporting himself on one knee with his HDG out in front of him.

("Damn. My whole body feels like it's on fire. My head is splitting and I feel so nauseous.") Raito struggles to get back up, but found that he could barely even move. Yellow Heart looked on with pity in her eyes, while Yuto looked onto the pitiful sight and just chuckled darkly.

"Well, I have to admit, for a mongrel like you that performance of yours was at least decent. I will give you credit when its due though. HDG user or not, the fact that you lasted as long as you did against Yellow Heart, much less actually damage her is an impressive feat for a human. But alas, the end was determined the minute it started, so you had no hope of winning. You think you're all high and mighty, but lose and you're just a loser." Raito could only glare at them in hatred.

"Yellow Heart, finish him off!"

"Aww, do I really have to?"

"He would just be a thorn in our side if we let him live, so killing off before he has the chance would be preferable. Now do as you're told!"

"OK." Yellow Heart said dejectedly before closing her eyes.

"Guard strike!"

"No wait!" Histoire desperately yelled out as Yellow Heart dashed forward with her fist ready to end the young mans life, albeit reluctantly. Just as soon as it looked like the end for him, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and grab Yellow Hearts wrists, stopping her dead in her tracks. Looking to the figure, it's revealed to be...

"Shin!?"

"Eh?"

"Hey, hands off the Stu!"
