West Coast Island, or WCI because there's no name for it, I think, Kuro's POV

You're wondering why I'm here, right? To find materials to rebuild the Gehaburn? To fight dangerous monsters? Or to vent out some stress? Well, none of them are correct, or completely right. Gehaburn only needs its former self and a powerful core to reach its fullest, however we need to have a failsafe for it. So we put the Sharicite in the handle and put tons of protect systems in it, combining with my power to make sure no one can misuse it, or cause an accident. Luckily we have Uni and Schwarz for it, they are good at dealing with programming. You're saying I'll do all the work? No, I won't. And if I want to, I can't, since that's not my strong side. And Nepgear is only good at building hardware, the systems she has to ask the others' help. We spent nearly a week to build and test it in everyway, so that everything is on set. About the dangerous monsters, maybe I will find and kill some, but that's not my main focus. You see, if you remember, Adam has invited me to visit his family, whose members are in the village on this island. And I do not want to decline him, since I heard from him that his family is excited to meet me. So, after we have done with the handle, I told the others to rest for a day, and now I'm here.

I was just landing on the island recently. I gave the boat driver a thank, and now I am walking to the village. During the travel, I saw a few people who gave me weird and curious looks. Well, I'm wearing my lab coat, walking around with it is not exactly normal. But someone actually recognized me, and asked me about my motivation in saving the Goddesses. And then, more people came to me and started bombarding me with questions. Luckily no one asked about my origins, but this was so embarrassing. Unlike 5pb., who's normally shy around small group of people but very confident in front of many, I'm the opposite. That's why you saw me dealing with my group very well, but not with these curious citizens.

After a while, they stopped and returned to what they're doing. I let out a sigh when no one was looking. Or at least… I thought so.

"If I didn't know you, I would say you're too young to sigh like that."

I look behind me, to see a woman in her 30s. She has short red hair with a silver headband, orange eyes. She wears a white tank top with blue and white jacket, skirt and shoes with similar design to the jacket. She also wears fingerless gloves, black knee-high socks. And she has D-Cup chest, much to my confusion.

I bow to greet her: "Hello lady. I assume you're Falcom?"

She smiles: "That would be me. Adam is right about you knowing me. You sure have a rough past."

Did Adam tell my story to Falcom? I thought he only told it to his family. "So, Adam has told you about me?"

"Yes. He also told me that you'll come today, so I decided to go and meet you. It's a bit late, but welcome to my village."

"Thanks for your warm welcome. So, can you lead me to Adam? I don't think I should make him and his family wait."

She giggles: "Don't need to worry about it."

She then leads me to a normal house, which I guess it's Adam's. Falcom goes and opens the door immediately, it seems she's familiar with Adam's house, or this is hers? Then I see a small boy, about 5, running towards us.

"Mama, you're back!" 'MAMA?' Then he notices me. "Who is this, mama? Your guest?"

She smiles and kneels to pick him up: "He's Kuro, your father's friend. He's here to visit us."

He looks at me, then smiles: "Nice to meet you, sir. I'm Hiro! You're the one Papa told about a lot! You look so young!"

I smile, on the outside: "Nice to see you, too. And thanks for the compliment." And I rub his hair, which makes him giggle.

On the inside, though…

'Did both of you know about this?'

Recently.

The same.

'Really? And I didn't know?'

It's a surprise, okay?

'Well, can't argue with that. But this shocks me, a lot. You need to give me something for this.'

Nope.

'Damn. Worth a try though.'

Falcom notices me spacing out a bit: "Are you okay, Kuro? Did the travelling tire you out?"

I turn to her: "Nothing like that. By the way, where's Adam?"

"I'm here." When I ended my question, Adam walks from the inside to us. He reaches his right hand to me: "Nice to see you come and visit us. That's very generous of you."

I shake his hand: "Well, I can't ignore my friends, right? So, shall we head inside?"

After we enter the living room, we sit down on the sofa and Falcom comes into the kitchen to prepare some drinks, and Hiro sits right next to Adam. Imagine it when your friend visits you, nothing special. Then Falcom comes out and brings a tray of tea glasses. She puts it on the table and sits next to Hiro, and we take our drink, with my thank to her.

Anyway: "So…you're a couple?"

Adam nods: "Yep. She is my wife, why?"

"Well, I thought you're a driver, so your wife might be someone else, not an adventuress like Falcom."

She giggles: "Well, he is an A-rank hunter. The driver part is just a part-time job."

… "I think…it should be the opposite."

Adam laughs: "Yeah, many people told me that's weird, but I got used to it. And we live in the same village, so…"

"That part I can understand. No wonder I haven't found her anywhere else."

Adam gives me a curious look: "Oh. You mean you could have met her before?"

"You're talking about my past, or my time here?"

Adam: "Your time here."

"It should be when we met Uni, we would meet Falcom after that, and she would join us in the future. But it seems like she has a family to protect first, so…"

Falcom asks me: "So you have met me in your place before?"

"Yeah. But Adam didn't actually exist before. So, you're a normal adventuress, I guess?" I shrug.

Adam: "So, some people who exist in this universe won't be there in another?"

"Yes. I'm the example of it. I'm nowhere in the original timeline, so…"

Falcom: "Also, I noticed that you looked at my chest before. Why?"

Adam looks at me: "Dude, I know that…"

I stop him: "Nothing like that. Because the Falcom I knew before has one size smaller than you, so I was confused. Knowing you're her wife confirmed it for me."

Falcom giggles: "So that's why. I thought you were…"

I sigh: "I still have the mentality of a 20-year-old boy, okay? Even when my real age reaches over 40 already. Can we cast this aside?" I need to change to topic. "So, does many things change around here when the CPUs came back?"

Adam nods: "Yeah. Things have been way better. People are having their hopes up, and our village's requests are being accepted now. Our life is getting better."

"Did the Goddesses announce my help when they…"

Falcom: "Yes. They did say about it. Did it annoy you?"

"Not in the slightest. But I hope they would let me tell everything later, after Deity of Sins is vanished."

After that, we just talk about normal stuffs, about family and such. When it's near sunset, we head to the seaport to take me back to Planeptune's City site. Before I say goodbye, I ask Falcom and Adam: "Are you two going to help us fighting the last battle?"

Adam: "I think my help before is enough. Falcom, why don't you come with them?"

Falcom gives him a surprise look: "Really? You don't want to meet them again?"

Adam: "Maybe in the future, since I have met them already. Besides, if both of us go, then who's gonna look after Hiro?"

"He has a point." Falcom looks at me. "And you also want to meet the CPUs in person, right?"

She thinks a bit, then: "Okay. I will take it. When is the last battle?"

"Maybe a week from now, or after we have fixed the blade. But maybe you want to meet them before that."

Falcom nods: "Very well. Oh, the boat is here. Nice to meet you Kuro." She shakes my hand. Adam does the same.

"Feel the same. See you again in the future."

After a few days, we finally finished the sword, and we called it Share Blade, since the name's called for the sword. In the day we finished it…

Nepgear: "We finally finished it!"

Everyone is cheering for it now.

Uni: "It takes us way too much time, but it is worth if it helps us fight Dos."

Ram: "Yeah! We can beat the big meanie and save Gamindustri now!"

Rom: "Uh huh! *nods*"

"Well, it's done, and we can fight her now." Everyone looks at me. "But then, who's going to hold it after that?"

Uni looks at me: "You want to keep it, don't you?"

I scratch my head, and smile nervously: "Well, it's because of my last form…"

Ram says instantly: "OH RIGHT! You're going to use it, right? You have to use it, okay?"

Rom: "I want to see your last form… *excited*"

I look at them. Then: "Well, that's my intention anyway. About the weapon, because I use Gehaburn in my left hand, so I want to have Share Blade to dual-wield, to make me look cool…" My face is red from embarrassment. Everyone is laughing and I pout: "Hey! A man can dream about that, okay?"

Nepgear stops her laugh first: "You are the one to come with the idea. So I think you holding it would be the best solution."

Uni agrees: "Yeah. You help us a lot. Besides, the sword couldn't be in maximum power when it stays with us anyway. And consider it a reminder to us if you're continuing your travel."

Ram: "That's right! After what we have done with others, you should never forget about us, got it?" Rom just nods.

"I'm not planning to find a new home." They look at me in surprise. "My plan is: When all of this is done, I'll ask you guys to give me permission to change the Graveyard into a new land, where I create a lab to improve Gamindustri's technology and help the citizens. Of course, I won't side with any of you in your Share competition. And I hope you can compete in peace, okay? But it doesn't mean I will be here all the time. My adventure in another universe will never be completed, but I want to have this one as my new home. I hope we can go along with that."

Everyone shouts in agreement. It seems this world will be my home now. And I will protect it with all I have.

Nighttime

I'm standing at the balcony of the living room, staring at the starry sky. It's another calm night at Planeptune, when everyone is comfortable in their own bed.

"Quite…Peaceful…Calm…Isn't it the best, Histy and Mascots?"

"Quite so." I don't look back, but I know that Histy and the Mascots are behind me. Then they float next to me. Histy says: "You sure enjoy this a lot?"

I nod. "I always like a calm and peaceful night. The Gamindustri almost always has it all the time." I turn to her to see her in a purple nightdress. "So, you can't sleep?"

She shakes her head: "No, I was just taking a rest after the work."

I sigh: "You shouldn't push yourself so hard, you know. I have fixed Neptune's laziness in one part, so she has to do more in her work. And you can share it with her."

Histy: "I know that. It's just some small left, nothing I can handle."

"I hope so. By the way, what do you think about the new generation?" I ask the Mascots.

Black: "Well, they are something else, I guess. Most of the previous Goddesses were serious every time. Guess time has changed."

Purple: "But I think it can't compare to you, Kuro, being the first God and probably the most powerful CPU in the history. The fact that you can manipulate Share to the way you want is impressive."

I smile: "Thanks for your compliment. It was just a luck of the draw."

Green: "Don't be so humble like that. I mean, most of us would think darkness won't interact well with Share energy, but you're a living proof to deny that fact."

"I think you're right in one side. Because the Goddesses are… man, still can't pick the right words. They are the manifestation of everyone's happiness and faith, so they won't like the darkness much. I, however, was human, that's why I can interact to both Light and Dark with nearly no consequences. Well, except if I was dead before I could do anything." I shrug.

White: "So, may I ask, what's your relationship with the bigger Histoire?"

"Like I said before, we're just friends. Why do you ask?"

White: "Well, the fact that you made her into a normal girl tells me that you're more than just friends."

"I like the little Histoire than the human-sized Histoire, she looks cute. However, because of how it's too dangerous during the past, I had to give her something to defend herself, so I decided to give her a human body, since she could use magic well."

Histy says: "It seems like all of your actions, even when it's ridiculous, always have a purpose behind it?"

"Most of the time."

All of us look at the starry sky again, when one of the shooting stars is just passing by. I decide to ask: "Do you have any wishes?"

Histy seems to understand what I meant: "I just wish that everything will go smoothly."

"The same old Histoire I know and love. Well, I think we should hit the bed now. Night everyone." And I walk back in.

Final battle, just outside Gamindustri's Graveyard, Nepgear's POV

This is it. The day we finally stop the danger from the Deity of Sins from harming Gamindustri any further. All of us are in the Graveyard now, preparing to face the cause of all distress during these years. We are tempted to use our very best from the beginning, but…

Ram: "What do you mean by not using our fullest, Kuro?"

Apparently Kuro doesn't want us to go all out from the get go.

Kuro: "And risk killing Arfoire in the progress? Besides, Dos won't go down that easy, so we need to use our power right."

Magic: "Are you sure you can save Arfoire? I mean, after those years of corruption…"

Kuro: "If there's a chance, I will take it. She is a good person, and I won't let her die like this."

Neptune: "You know, with the way you talk to her like that, people would think you have some feelings for her."

Kuro decides not to comment on that.

Kuro: "Anyway, thanks for joining us Falcom. Your help is very appreciated."

Falcom, who is Adam's wife, smiles: "No, no. It's my pleasure to fight alongside with the CPUs to save the world."

Kuro: "Well, let's head to the deeper part of this place, shall we?"

As we enter further, the cold air starts getting colder and colder. And it's not the cold weather. It's the feeling of emptiness and the power of Dos overshadowing the area.

Everyone is affected by it, even us in our HDD forms, except Kuro. It seems he is used to it. Brave asks him: "Don't you feel the negativity in the air, Kuro? You look a little too calm."

Kuro turns to him: "Comparing to Heavenly Host, this is nothing. If we die here, we die. In there however, it will repeat over and over till you succumb to it."

IF: "Are you exaggerating it? I mean, you look fine…"

Kuro: "My death is only because I slowly lost my life due to absence of food, so it's not a big deal. The others were killed, quite horribly I must say."

Ram shouts: "Bah! It's in the past, right? Let's just focusing on our matter ahead, okay?" Thanks for changing the topic, Ram.

Emerald asks him: "But why don't we use the Share Blade right from the beginning?"

Kuro chuckles: "To give it a surprise." But then: "To be serious, we need a clean shot to use it. If we do wrong, it will counter the sword, which leads us to kill it along with Arfoire. Speaking of, we're here."

We're looking at an orb, covered in pure darkness. I ask him: "This is it? The DoS?"

Kuro nods: "Yes. DoS never has a real physical body. So when it's not possessing a body, it will be like this."

Schwarz: "Can you try to do something with it now? Maybe try to find Arfoire?"

Kuro: "I did try."

Weiss: "And the result?"

Neptune interrupts: "Hold on. When did you find her?"

Kuro: "Seconds ago."

… OH right! "You stopped the time to do that, right?"

Kuro: "Yeah. I did find Arfoire's soul's location, however I couldn't reach it, or couldn't without risking anything. We need to destroy DoS before doing anything else."

"AND I WILL MAKE SURE YOU CAN NEVER DO IT." The ground starts shaking, the orb starts morphing into a new body. And it looks…

"It looks so freaky!" Red, ladies and gentleman.

Schwarz looks at our sisters: "Have you seen this form before?"

Noire: "No, she looks like a dragon when she transformed. This one looks more human, but still…"

The DoS looks at us: "YOU FOOLISH GODDESSES. YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP THE INEVITABLE? I WILL BRING YOU DOWN, ALONG WITH THIS WORLD."

I feel a little fear, but I shake it off: "No, we won't let you do that. We're here to destroy you and prevail over your influence."

DoS: "SUCH FOOLISHNESS. LET'S SEE IF YOU AND THE HUMANS SURVIVE THIS, IF YOU CAN." She then sends numerous orbs of darkness to us, but then they're blocked by a massive barrier.

Kuro is raising his left shining hand: "You know, next time, don't do the obvious moves like that. It's too predictable."

It seems now DoS notices his power: "YOU…YOU'RE NOT LIKE THE OTHERS…YOUR POWER…I HAVE TO DESTROY YOU FIRST…" It raises it right hand...

'Everyone scatter. Now!' We all complied to Kuro's advice and separate to different directions. From DoS' hand, a beam of darkness fired to him, completely shattered the barrier and consumed Kuro in it. Or at least, that's what we saw in that little moment.

"Very powerful. Very dangerous. You live up with your name very well." We look up a bit to see Kuro, or we could say, his last form. His armor is like in his God form, but his left half is black, and there's some kind of silver armor plate on his chest with the heart symbol on it, black in left and white in right. Think of it as in Falzar armor, the chest plate, but instead of his symbol, it will be the heart. He is now having wings unlike his God form: he has three angel-like wings in his right, and three demon-like ones on his left. The right ones are easy to imagine since they're classical types, the left ones they are kinda like the vampire's wings. His lower face is covered by a black and white mask; his right eye has our symbol but his left one is covered by a red round optical goggle. And he's dual-wielding two katanas. He is releasing aura that's rival the Dos' power, even more powerful.

Dos is surprised if its voice tells it all: "YOU…YOU'RE NOT HUMAN…YOU'RE NOT A GOD EITHER. YOUR POWER IS TOO MUCH FOR THAT…WHAT ARE YOU?"

Kuro: "Most people called me a god, some called me a monster. I'm the manifestation of both Light and Darkness. I'm the best friend to my friends, and the worst nightmare to my enemies. But, deep down in my soul, I'm just a normal human who wants the best for everyone. I am Hybrid Heart. I am the Savior of Gamindustri. I bring happiness to people, and today, I will send you to a place you'll never disturb anyone again." His swords start glowing white on the right and black on the left. He then crosses his swords and swings it to DoS, which creates a X energy wave and strikes to DoS and causes it to roar in pain.

We're nearly speechless when we saw that. He is powerful, but with this form, he really shows what he's capable to. But I thought he said he used Gehaburn in this form? Maybe it's the 'surprise' part? Brave and Magic then instantly run to DoS and strike a few successful hits on it while it's dazed after Kuro's attack, but then shakes out of it and starts blocking their attacks. We break out of our surprises and start throwing everything to the Deity. Our sisters join with Brave and Magic and attack it. But then DoS, through the darkness around it, starts creating clones to fight us. Even the monsters which is influenced by its magic starts targeting us as well. We have to divine our force to fight them. Us Candidates are fighting some of the clones ourselves, while the members from Kuro's past also dealing with the rest. The others are fighting the monsters so that no one's distracted from their target.

I and one of the clones strike each other with our own attack. Even when it's just a clone, it still has power with it. Uni and Emerald are fighting another two, but they have to constantly keep distance with them. Luckily Emerald has a lot of stun-lock spells for Uni to easily shoot the clones. Rom and Ram, even though they look younger than the rest of us, are holding their own pretty well. The past crew, plus Falcom, has more experiences than the rest of us, so they can push back the clones easier than us.

Surprisingly, Schwarz and Weiss, even though they have transformed, are helping the others in fighting the monsters. With Schwarz's constant swings with his massive scythe, combining with Weiss' magic, they can help clearing the monsters faster. And the others also have lots of area attacks, so they still can hold on for a while.

Kuro also joins our sisters to fight the real DoS. They constantly attack it, leaving it no time to rest. Even when it manages to deflects one attack and attempts to counter it, Kuro jumps in the way instantly to either take the damage or deal an attack that forces it to defend again. His wings are also his weapons as well: his angel wings can send feather projectiles and deal a lot of damage, while his demon wings can either become a shield when putting them in one surface, or become blades which can float and strike on its own. His own attacks are fast enough that, for each slash, there's another hollow slash following it, dealing the same damage. Once in a while, he will jump back out and pulls out dual revolvers and starts shooting without a pause to reload. They have forced the DoS to float on the sky and start firing at all directions since there's no limitation in hit directions. His goggle sometimes sends out a red laser that's as big as the goggle, which annihilates any darkness orbs the DoS sends to them.

But there's another surprising. We're expecting that we have to fight for like, half an hour. However, just 10 minutes after the start, DoS starts looking weaker and weaker. Then, Kuro dashes towards it and sends a cross attack again, causes it to fall to the ground. The clones are dissolving and the monsters are fleeing, so we start heading to the DoS. It lays on the ground for a few seconds, then tries to use its arms to push itself up.

DoS: "NO…IMPOSSIBLE…MY POWER…WHERE IS IT?" Then it looks to Kuro: "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"

Kuro's left hand starts glowing, but in black: "You think you're the only one can use darkness? There's a difference between me and the Goddesses: I was human, so I can interact with both darkness and light at the same time. So, what have I done? I just have to take your power, and directly fire it back at you. In the end, I don't drop a sweat since you're just fighting yourself the whole time."

Everyone was dumbfounded by the explanation. No wonder he can stand up against anything, he just has to make his opponents fight oneself. Then Kuro teleports right in front of the DoS, grabs its neck and lifts it on the air. "Also, I know that you use darkness to cover yourself, since your power cannot work well with a body, and I found out that this is Arfoire's body. So, my objective is to dissolve as much darkness as possible, so we can rescue her."

'Nepgear, pull out Share Blade and stab her, now!' I heard his command, but…

'Wait, you're going to save Arfoire, then why…'

'Don't think, just do! I will explain later.'

'But…oh right. You can teleport.' I then summon the Share Blade and thrust towards Kuro and DoS. And I was right: Kuro instantly vanishes the moment the Share Blade nearly touches him, and the blade stabs the Deity instead. Right when the blade reaches half way through the body, it starts shining brightly that causes me to cover my eyes with my free hand, and the DoS is screaming in pain.

"NO…MY POWER…YOU…IF I'M GOING TO VANISH…I WILL TAKE YOU ALL WITH ME!" The ground starts shaking, causing us to nearly fall on the ground.

Kuro reappears somewhere behind me, and shouts: "EVERYONE! Give Nepgear your power and your desires! It will help her defeat the Deity of Sins once and for all!" Then I feel something hit me from behind, but there's no pain, and I feel even more powerful. Then more and more come to me, as I heard everyone shouting their encouragements to me. I decide not to write the encouragements here. You can check it for yourself. The Share Blade shines even more brighter now, and DoS' scream is not pleasant to hear.

After a while, its scream stops, the blade stops shining as I pull it out. The lifeless body falls backward, but it's grabbed by Kuro before it falls to the ground instantly. Then, the body starts changing and shining, many features of darkness was gone. After everything is finished, we look at the body. It's the body of a woman, she has light skin and white hair. Her outfit looks like a witch-type: She wears a black corset with matching detached sleeves, a blue dress underneath it. You can search True Arfoire, it will give you the image.

Weiss asks Kuro: "Is this…how Arfoire really looks like?"

Kuro nods: "Yes. You're expecting something else?"

Schwarz: "Well, we heard how she looks from the Goddesses, so we thought she looks like an evil witch."

Kuro: "Well, that's her, when she was corrupted. And…" He stops talking, as a soul suddenly appears next to the body.

We look at it, and it starts talking: "Thank you, everyone. I was locked in my body for a long time. You saved me and the people from the influence of the Deity of Sins. And I also apologize to the Goddesses for fighting them for no good reasons at all."

Our sisters turn back to their normal self, and Neptune laughs: "Ah, don't need to apologize. It's not you after all. Besides, we should be the ones to say sorry since we only want to kill you in the first place."

Noire: "Like Neptune said. Also, you can redeem yourself by helping us rebuild the world back to normal."

Arfoire sounds sad: "I don't think I can do anything without…"

Kuro pulls out a book, which is brown and has a skull face on it. He talks to Arfoire: "I don't save you just for you to say that, you know." Then he starts chanting in a different language.

Arfoire's soul starts swaying towards her body: "Wait…what's happening…" The soul then goes right into the body. After a while, the body opens its eyes, revealing Arfoire's blue eyes. She blinks a few times, then pushes herself off the ground to sitting position. "What…How…" She looks at her hands, then she turns to Kuro: "What did you do?"

Kuro: "The same I did to myself. Because of the spell, I was able to cheat death. And it gave me plenty of power to screw around. But for now…" He stands up, and reaches his right hand to Arfoire: "Welcome back to the living world." She hesitates for a bit, but then grabs his hand, as Kuro pulls her up. She then turns around, and was about to say something, then…

"Yay! We saved the world! And we rescued a beautiful wifey too!" Guess whos. And no, I didn't type wrong.

Arfoire blushes a bit: "Thanks for the compliment. But I don't think…"

Kuro pats her shoulder: "That's Red for you. Now, let's go back to Planeptune, okay?"

The rest of us, including Schwarz and Weiss, turn back to normal. Then Neptune asks Arfoire: "So this is how you look like? You look hot!" But then she shudders, probably because of Noire's cold stare at her.

Vert: "She is right. If you're like this, then why did you look like an…"

Kuro stops her: "Don't ask that question. And to answer that supposed question, darkness always causes someone to be like that, just like in my case with my Dark form."

Blanc: "So if one of us is corrupted by darkness…"

Kuro: "Don't…" He doesn't sound mad, but tired. "I don't want to rethink about it, okay?" Schwarz and Weiss grab his shoulders to attempt to calm him.

IF: "Hey! We just saved the world. Don't bring stuffs like that up. We should…"

Neptune: "OF COURSE! We're going to throw a party at my place. Everyone will have to come, okay?"

Compa cheerfully says: "That sounds great, Nep-Nep!"

Ram cheers: "That's right! We're gonna have a party, and sleepover too!"

Rom: "Uh huh! A nice sleepover is fun…"

Neptune turns to Kuro and Arfoire, she looks smugly for some reasons: "Do you two have any problems?"

Kuro says: "First off, no I don't have one. Two: What are you trying to apply here?"

Neptune brings up her troll face: "Then how come you two still hold hands with each other?"

They look down, and true to Neptune's words, after Kuro pulled Arfoire up, they are still holding the other's hand. Arfoire immediately releases it and turns away in embarrassment, while Kuro looks a little bit confused.

Red smirks at him: "OH! You have some feelings for her, Kuro? I didn't know you're that kind of playboy!"

Broccoli: "Broccoli thinks he might have something for all of us as well, nyu…"

Vert: "Oh my… Don't tell me your lonely past made you do that…" Why, Vert?

Blanc doesn't say anything, but her eyes look like she's having something in her mind, probably to write for her stories.

Uni: "Kuro…you… I thought I had some respects for you…"

The past crew haven't said anything, yet.

Brave, who has turned to his smaller self, walks to Kuro and pokes him: "Are you feeling right, Kuro? Why did you…" But then Kuro smirks, an irritated one, crosses his arms, taps his right foot and looks to the sky. He stays like that for a while.

Arfoire, after snapping out of her embarrassment, turns worried when she sees him like that. Then she turns to me and asks: "What happened to Kuro?"

If my guess is right: "I think he's talking to T.O or the Creator, or both of them."

She has a confused look. Marvy gives her an explanation: "You could think that they're two other selves of Kuro. Or brothers, who look exactly like Kuro."

Magic says to Arfoire: "I will give you some explanations later. I want to ask you something in privacy, too."

Arfoire nods. 5pb.' N-Gear rings up, as she picks it up: "Hello… Oh, it's Histoire!"

Falcom tells her: "Can you open the camera setting so all of us can talk?"

5pb. nods, and the screen appears. Just think of it as any future video calls, when the screen just pops out. Two images fill in the screen, Histy and Histoire.

Arfoire is surprised to see two Histoire, not one. "What? There's two Histoire? How?"

Histy says first: "I'm glad that you're back Arfoire. It seems Kuro has outdone things again."

Histoire giggles: "That's Kuro for you. Also, welcome back Arfoire. I want to say more, however this call is just a confirmation about things there. I see everyone succeeds."

Cave salutes: "Everything is done, both Histoire. The Deity of Sins is completely vanished. Now, we're returning back to Planeptune."

Histy nods: "That's good. I will talk to you… what happened to Kuro?" It seems she notices him.

Emerald: "I think he's having some kind of conversation with them."

Histoire: "Oh, them. Okay. You should head back now. We'll talk later, okay?"

CC2 chimes in: "Wait. Do you two care to join our little party?"

Both Histoire: "Party?"

Tekken: "Yeah. Neptune is planning to throw a party tonight. We don't know where…"

Kuro suddenly snaps out of his daze and turns to the screen: "She can plan her party in the biggest restaurant in Planeptune. I have already told its boss about this. Then we'll have a sleepover in the Basilicom. Hope you two can make up your schedule and join with us."

Speechless, all of us. Then we remember we're talking about Kuro here, no logic could apply on him.

Histoire sighs: "Kuro… really?"

Kuro "Yep!" turns into Shanghai, and lands on Arfoire's shoulder, and says "Let's throw our party for our big victory tonight!" in Shanghai's voice.

…

Three months later, because I'm a bastard, MUHAHAHA, Kuro's POV

"I can't still believe everything just happened like that."

"Just believe it, Arfoire. That's what you get when you have me around."

Yeah, the Creator… I'm okay with it, though. Explaining three months of events is not a fun thing to do. Anyway, you can check the ending of Re;birth 2 for some basic information. There's a bonus though: it's about my influence to it. After our battle with DoS, the Goddesses fully announce my family's help to them, and my plan to create the Research Land on top of the Gamindustri's Graveyard. Most people, most, agree to let me do so. The others are not exactly in agreement. Why? They don't trust me since I also told them about my past and my power. They think I would overthrow the Goddesses, and still think that even when I told them that's not my desire at all. Well, different people with different opinions. Anyway, the research lab is up for about a week now, and we already got a few blueprints for technology updates for the world. And in 'we' I mean my family, Histoire, Arfoire and the ASIC. Yes, the ASIC. I decide to hire them. They're not bad people, they're just misguided and they don't have a best home, so I give them one. The Research Land won't be only used for pure researching. I have some plans to use the Land for another purposes, all of them are good mind you. And you're asking about the past crew? I let them decide their own life. They would sometimes go here to visit us. We cannot have two Histoire in one place, and Arfoire also needs a place to live too. And I explained everything to Arfoire, so she won't get anymore confusion.

"So, what're you going to do next?"

"Right now, just do the usual stuff and wait. Don't know when the next big thing will happen. Also, I'm leaving to Planeptune to ask Histy about some works. See you later."

"Later."

So, I'm in Planeptune's Basilicom now. I have just asked Histy about some upgrades she gave me to improve Planeptune in details so I won't make it wrong. I will ask the other Oracles as well. Oh, right. They're still there after the battle, not like the original timeline when they leave to improve themselves.

I am passing the door of Neptune's living room when…

"NO! I LOST! YOU GUYS ARE SO UNFAIR!"

"Neptune is out, and you two are next."

"Get real. None of you can fight me once Neptune is down."

"BUT YOU GUYS JUST GANGED UP ON ME! YOU'RE ALL CHEATER BELLY-EATERS!"

"Don't just give a clueless accusation like that. We just have the same goal in our minds."

… 'Creator?'

Yeah?

'It's time?'

Yep.

'Also, the end of this chapter?'

Yep.

… 'Damn.'

Chapter 11 end!

I think I have to explain my story line here.

The first Hyperdimension Kuro has traveled to happened after the Conquest Ending of Re;Birth 2, meaning all of the events you have seen in the game happened in that dimension.

The second Hyperdimension, where this story takes place, happened after Re;Birth 1 and from the beginning of Re;Birth 2. I have seen a lot of comments and reviews from another stories that there's connection between the original games. And I want to say that, no it isn't. You can say the original Neptunia and MkII has connection, I may agree since I haven't played them, but between the two Re;Births, there's none. There're events in Re;Birth 2 dedicate that the start of Re;Birth 2 is different than Re;Birth 1. In my story, I have to change some events and delete a few so the two can connect.

Also, if you're wondering what the Research Land can be a reference to, then don't think about it, there's none. I'm not good at creating names, that's all.

And a little warning about my way of writing: happiness will happen nearly everywhere, even in the darkest moments.

To StirDrem: You can recheck chapter 1. Schwarz's appearance is there.

To Dark 7 Thunder: Thanks for your kind words.

So, nothing else to say. I will see you all in the epilogue chapter of ReWrite the Past!
