Chapter 27: Knowledge Rendezvous


"So let me get this straight. All along you were The Grim Reaper, Death Personification, and it turns out you're a God of Death. Not only that, but the anime girl game referencing game consoles and companies is also legit real, and Time in their world is now frozen and some jackoff named Fallen is trying to overrun the entire planet with monsters." Sarah explained everything told to her. "Do I have your story correct?" Blaze nodded.

"Yep, pretty much it in a nutshell."

Sarah just stared at him...

"...Blaze, I know you had a pretty fucked up life, but cocaine and cosplay isn't gonna solve it." Sarah told him blankly, unconvinced.

"I'm telling the truth." Blaze said, as Sarah rolled her eyes.

"Blaze, after running over some jackass with Claire's car, stabbing some emo bitch with a military knife, getting my arm broken, which I can't feel pain from and it's very concerning, I think you are somewhat telling the truth. But don't make it sound like you're some anime character. We live in America. Not Japan." Sarah said. "If you had just said you were Satan's kid or something, that would've been understandable. But Grim Reaper, even though also acceptable, is a bit much."

"Alright, what if I show you?" Blaze suggested. Sarah raised an eyebrow.

"Unnescessary, considering I saw her transform into some weird outfit, I think I believe half of it." Sarah sighed. Blaze twitched at that part. "Wait, transform?" Blaze asked, as Sarah pointed at Adult Neptune.

"The girl with dyed hair and no pants. Which I suggest you get her some pants. Might get the wrong kind of attention." Sarah said attention with some tone of warning. Understanding what kind of people live in Chicago, Blaze nodded.

"Wait, is she a CPU now?" Blaze asked, making Sarah groan.

"Enough with the anime crap." Sarah complained. "She's a Goddess I heard, which is equivalent to a CPU? I'm guessing? Also, some clone or whatever died." Sarah said causally.

"What?!" Blaze yelled, and some from the group around Brave looked over.

"What do you mean she died?!" Blaze asked, and Sarah shrugged.

"While she fought a dragon or something, she died. Said something about protecting the future. Alternate timeline, all that. Then she turned into energy or something, I don't know. Timeline changed, everything got fucked in the future." Sarah explained in a nutshell, not caring whatsoever.

"...You are surprisingly calm about the world ending in the future."

"Blaze, Name off any comic Villians and they wanted to destroy the Planet or something similar. If he says something about 'showing the world judgement' or something to that extent, then I don't care whatsoever."

"...Always the great Goddess of Bitches as always."

"What was that?"

"Nothing. Anyway, you're going to keep quiet about this right?" Blaze asked, getting a uninterested shrug from Sarah.

"I won't exactly gain anything from it. Also, I want you to buy Claire a new car." Sarah said, getting a twitch from Blaze.

A few feet anyway, Noire saw the two begin to argue.

"Hey, what's up Noire?" Neptune asked. Noire shook her head.

"Nothing. I'm fine." Noire said calmly. Blanc faced her, with a serious look on her face.

"Noire." Blanc said, getting Noire's attention. "How are you able to use NEXT form?" She asked...and seconds later, Noire blushed 49 shades of red. She began to stutter, mumbling things to herself quietly.

"U-Uhm...W-Welll...I-I-!"

"Did you do that? The thing which Violet informed us of?" Vert asked with a mischievous smile. Noire then reacted exactly like act had expected.

"N-N-N-N-NOOO! I WOULD NEVER DO THAT! WHY WOULD YOU EVER SUGGEST THAT?!" Noire yelled at the top of her lungs. All of the CPUs, including the noble Brave and Sraha and Blaze looked back at her. Noire then realized this was the reaction Vert wanted.

"...Oh, so Noire was the first."

"No surprise."

"Hooray! We can move on!"

"Miss Noire...did that?"

"S-Sis?! Y-You...!?"

"Goodness..."

Noire blushed even harder and harder. Her entire body was pure red from embarrassment. Watching, Sarah and Blaze watched, with some of the goddesses gave Blaze a look or two, before turning their attention back to Noire.

"...The Fuck did you do?" Sarah asked.

"You don't wanna know." Blaze simply said, as Sarah just sighed in annoyance.

"Anyway, You're house is demolished. So what's your plan now?" Sarah asked. Blaze looked back at the house, and scratched the back of his head. "Well...um...I don't know, maybe a hotel or some things? Dad's loft? I don't know..." Blaze answered...until he remembered 3 things.

"Wait, Where's Alice?!" Blaze asked, as everyone looked back at Blaze.

"She disappeared with Arfoire and didn't come back yet. I don't know when she'll come back." Nepgear answered.

Confused, Blaze was about to ask what she meant, but as of right on que, a portal portal opened up above Blaze. Before he could even look up, Alice, in her normal form and clothing, dropped down, and right onto Blaze's shoulders. Taken aback, Blaze stumbled a little.

"...Well, there she is." Blanc simply said.

"A-Alice? What...?" Blaze asked, confused as to Alice's appearance from a portal. However, Alice was unmoving, as she laid her head on Blaze's head, snoozing away softly.

"...Well, Okay, we'll deal with this later I guess. What about Scarlet?" Blaze asked, as Uzume pointed over by the tree.

"Over there. Angel is there to." Uzume answered.

"Alright, what about Histoire?" Blaze asked, as Alice mumbled.

"In...Scarlet's room..." Alice mumbled...as Blaze then looked at the completely demolished house. Blaze inhaled, and was about to go search through everything that was destroyed, but before he could, a blue glowing orb flew towards Blaze, as it swirled around Blaze, eventually landing on his shoulder.

The energy of the orb dispersed, and it showed Histoire, eyes closed, seemingly calm. She opened them slowly, and then looked at Blaze.

"...How did you-?"

"I know a little protection Magic, but I still had to escape the room." Histoire explained. Blaze understood completely, knowing the no one would stay in a house that was going to be totally destroyed. Inhaling, he looked back at the house.

"...Wonderful, um...I guess we have to go and check in at a hotel. Problem is how we're getting there, my truck is where mom and Unknown is, and I bet both vans were completely destroyed as well." Blaze said. Then, Adult Neptune jumped up and ran up to Blaze.

"Oh oh! I can fix this!" She exclaimed. Blaze looked at her confused.

"You?"

"Yeah! I have time powers!" She said, getting surprise and confusion from everyone except Sarah.

"Yeah! Check this out!" Adult Neptune ran up in front of the house and extended both her hands at it. "Time Reversal!" She exclaimed as the atmosphere turned blue and everything started changing back to how it was before the battle started.

Afr a moment, everyone just watched in shock as the house was completely rebuild now. The back yard and other side of the lake was restored to normal.

"Oh, She has time powers apparently." Sarah then mentioned. "Thought that sounded like important info."

"She is sassy as fuck, holy shit I like her." Xazathra said in Blazes mind.

"Shut it."

"Anyway, I don't plan on driving all the way back to my house, so I'm staying here for the night. Claire might, but she might just drive home. Then again, she's scared of driving home alone at night." Sarah said as she walked back towards the car. She lifted Claire out of the car and shut the car door.

"How am I supposed to care that you don't want to?" Blaze asked, stopping Sarah's advance to the house.

"Because Blaze, I know you won't leave me and Claire outside in a car all night." Sarah said, staring Blaze in the eye. Blaze stared right back, obviously battling it out to see who'd give in first.

"..."

"..."

Everyone else watched from a few feet away with sweat drops.

"...Uh..." Neptune attempted to say something, but Noire shut her mouth with her hand.

"Be quiet." Noire told her as she released her hand. Before Neptune could say anything else, Blaze slapped both his arms on his legs as he given up. "Whatever, but you leave in the morning." Blaze said with a threatening tone. Sarah shrugged.

"Whatever."


After all that, everyone went back into the house (including Angel) and resumed most of everything. Neptune, Vert, Blanc and Uzume went back to playing a Zombies map, Nepgear, Uni, Rom and Ram watched, along with Plutia, Peashy, Histoire and Adult Neptune. With Xazathra's instructions, Blaze told Brave to lift some small eights to try and get used to his new human body, and he agreed. He sat where everyone else was playing video games while doing it, of course he recieved a pair of jeans and a read shirt in order to not have anyone...bothered, let's say.

Sarah put Claire in Alice's bedroom, even though a small argument between Blaze and Sarah occurred, Sarah just ended it with 'Let Alice sleep with Scarlet or something.' Sarah went downstairs with everyone else at that time...

...

Blaze was in his room, going through his closet. Throwing some clothes out of it or anything that got in his way.

"What are you doing?"

"Surprised you even glanced."

"Loading screen, so I thought I check up on you."

"Loading screen on what?!"

"Horizon Zero Dawn it's called."

"...When did you-?"

Blaze cut off his thought as he found what he was looking for. He pulled out a small wooden box as he stood up and set it on his bed. He bent down on one knee as he stared at it...

"..." Blaze slowly reached up and ran his fingers on it, slightly shaking. He breathed in and out slowly, memories flowing back into his head as he ran his fingers across the box. He put his fingers on the crack of where it opened and slowly began to open the wooden box.

"Your Fault-"

Instantly, Blaze threw it at the wall, making a dent in it. The box hit the ground as Blaze had his back to the side of the bed, now sitting on the floor breathing in and out. He stared at it for a short time...before leaning his head all the way back and just staring at the ceiling.

"...Fuck..." Blaze cursed under his breath, running his fingers through his hair in frustration. His heart beating like a drum against his chest, he tried to calm down...his vision beginning to blur...

...

"Blaze! Quit it!" Xazathra yelled, as Blaze was slowly snapped out of it. His vision restored to normal, he looked around.

"...Xaz-?"

"Quiet! I'm in the middle of a very tense part of this mission!"

"..." Blaze just inhaled enough air to completely fill his lungs. He stared at the ceiling again, his heart beating like normal. His breathing normal as well. He closed his eyes for a brief moment...that is, before a knock on his door was heard. Looking at his door, Blaze got up and walked over to his door.

When he opens it, Noire stood there. However, she wore a white shirt and camo pajama pants with white socks on. Her hair was still in twin tails though.

"Noire?" Blaze asked. "What is it?" He asked, as Noire seemed somewhat hesitant. Unexpectedly, she pushed him back into his room, and Noire closed the door and locked it. About to ask what she wanted, Noire stopped him with her words.

"Blaze, I heard about your past...a little of it anyway." Noire said, as all thoughts Blaze had ceased to exist...

...except the sound of a door closing in his head.

Blaze just stood there for a moment before slowly putting his hand to his forehead. He sat down on his bed and lowered his head.

"...Who told you?" Blaze asked, as Noire sat next to him.

"Blaze, I want you tell me what happened." Noire said seriously, as Blaze remained unresponsive for a moment, clearly hesitating on speaking. He then sighed...

"...Ju...just don't talk about it in public...alright...?" Blaze asked quietly, as Noire nodded. "I promise."

"..."

"..."

"...It uh...was about when I was 14, so about 3 years ago. There was this...incident that happened with me, my friend, Jared and his grandpa."

"Was that friend-?"

"Drake...Drake Anderson." Blaze said, as Noire remained quiet. It took Blaze a moment before he began again.

"Drake was my best friend and the only person I trusted most...back when Jared was my friend, Drake noticed something...off about him. I just thought it was family issues or something, but Drake thought it was more than that...his Grandfather, Victor, turned out to be this big time drug lord in Chicago, and lore and behold, he was also a Terrorist."

"..."

"I lived in the city when this happened, so...Drake calls me in the middle of the night, drags me out to some parking building and tells me that Jared's grandpa is a terrorist. But...Jared then showed up, started talking random nonsense about salvation or something and..." Blaze stopped slowly after he said that. He breathed in deeply, putting both hands to his face and slowly trailing them off. "...he pulled out a gun, dropped what I think was crystal meth...and..." Noire slowly put her hands to his back. Blaze ran a hand through his hair.

"...Somehow a fire occurred and Drakes body was never found."

"..."

"Drakes' Mom then bloody hated me when Drake died and blamed me for his murder, and a huge investigation went on about it. Even after I was deemed innocent, Drake's mom moved to a different town before saying to me 'I don't ever want to see your fucking face ever again, you goddamn murderer.'" Blaze started to get a bit louder and more emotional. Noire just kept quiet...

"After that, some time past and I started to stop going to school for a few days, just...almost broken..." Blaze seemed to think about his next words before speaking again. "And...before I knew it, I was looking for every method to learn how to fight. Shoot a gun more accurately, handle of knife, all that...it was thanks to Sarah that I found out where those Hideouts were, because she just traced computers there or something, I didn't care about the method on how she found them...I killed about 7 people belonging to Dark Syndicate."

"..." Noire just kept quiet, her heart wavering on what she was going to say to him.

"All I could think about was when I was gonna find Jared and Victor...that's the only thing I could ever think about...! And when I found out that I killed him in cold blood when I lost control I-...I just..." Blaze began to stutter, but before he could say anything else Noire wrapped both her arms around him and pulled him into a hug.

"W...What are you-?"

"It's okay...just calm down." Noire said soothingly. Blaze was taken aback by this action...but slowly eased up.

"...I-"

"Blaze, it's not your fault that Drake died." Noire then said, making Blaze shut his mouth then and there. "You don't have to take revenge for his death. I know it's not my place to say all this, but..." Noire began to say as she inhaled.

"...Just...please, live your life like any other person should." Noire said. Blaze didn't respond in any way for a minute. Blaze just inhaled pas he raised his head from Noire. "Alright...I'll try." Blaze mumbled, but enough for Noire to hear.

"...Also..." Noire's cheeks lit up red. "A...About eariler..."

"Hm?" Blaze looked at her...as he remembered what she had meant. "O...Oh...Uhm..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...I...Uh..."

"..."

"..."

"...Just...D...Don't bring it up with anyone, and...I-It's a secret for now!" Noire then shot up. "Don't speak about it to anyone else!"

"But your reaction basically tol-"

"AAAH!" Noire then yelled at him, making Blaze shut up instantly. He could feel the embarrassment like bloodlust oozing off her, meaning she was serious about this. Not wanting to challenge her, Blaze nodded.

"Yep, got it. Understood completely." Blaze them said, as Noire smiled as she walked out of the room, which she shut a bit hard, almost a slam. Blaze sat on his bed and he laid back...

"Wonderful..."

"Are you done?"

"Oh hey, thought you'd be busy playing games."

"Loading screen, so I'd thought I'd check up on you."

"Go figure...wait, there is one thing I'd like to ask you." Blaze asked in his mind. He heard a groan as the sound of a controller being set down was heard.

"Alright whatever, go ahead." Xazathra groaned.

"Firstly, why did I have to kiss Noire to win?"

"That's the way the seals placed upon us were designed. Ultimately, kissing a female CPU or being of similar extent will unseal the locked power, and a small part of power will become part of the CPU, fusing with their very soul and cannot be separated even in death. That's what the Soul Pact is."

"...Who-?"

"Two stupid people set the seals this way. And there are ALOT of seals. Small fragments sealed away in the most powerful seal in existence, and then reinforced a abundance of times with Eternal elements, for my power burned through it within seconds."

"How many seals are there, and how much power is kept within them?"

"Ultimately, I haven't really counted yet, but when you kiss another CPU or some entity to who is similar to Godhood, you'll be able to gain a much more efficient boost in power like tonight. After that, it's goes small." Xazathra explained. Blaze didn't think about anything for a moment...

"...Okay, then why did Noire kiss me first?"

"Your Mom, the second Void Heart."

"...Ex-Fucking-cuse me and our entire race?"

Blaze sat up right them and there.

"Okay, close your eyes if you want to like talk about this because this is getting a tad bit annoying." Xazathra said in annoyance, as Blaze hesitated before closing his eyes and focusing. When he opened them, he was now in a room with a bar, some football decorations, a air hockey and pool table, and a 70" TV. There were a few animal stuffed things as well, like a bear rug on the floor. In front of the TV was two leather recliners in front of the TV, with the Tv on a Horizon paused menu.

"Sit down." Xazathra said, as Blaze walked over and sat. However, when he looked at Xazathra-

He had the appearance of a 7 year boy wearing all black. Black socks, pants, shirt, everything. His hair remained messy and long, and his eyes red.

"...Uh-"

"Don't ask about it, It just happens and I don't care."

"...Alright then." Blaze leaned forward. "Now, what about Mom saying what now?"

"Okay, so, basically, your Mom tried to get you Laid by a Goddess. Of course that was her own intentions, but in reality and seriously, it was to get you more powerful and kill Fallen, save the world, yada yada." Xazathra explained as he began playing again. "Of course it has its own merits too. I mean, you get a Harem so~...I mean, for any Mary Sue it's a bloody dream come true. It also works with your sisters too."

"I am going to try to avoid doing that if possible."

"Hey, it's beneficial. Void Heart is not someone you wanna fuck with. Of course I still do, but, you know...plus Scarlet, that's her name now, will awaken to Reaper Urges soon anyway, so you'll haven't any option." Xazathra waved it off.

"That is...God, that's just weird!"

"Is it weird when that one Anime did it? Something Sister Testament?"

"They were step siblings! They weren't blood related!"

"Wuss."

Blaze groaned in annoyance and frustration. Xazathra snapped and summoned a glass of water, while Xazathra had a glass of alcohol. Xazathra chugged it almost instantly and threw it at the wall, breaking the glass.

"Blaze, trust me. Sure, Harem shit like this never gets old, but you'll be one of the popular ones at least." Xazathra said, trying to sound convincing.

"...Whatever..." Blaze mumbled...

"Also, I recommend you make them fall for you." Xazathra then said, getting a stare from Blaze. "Violet told the Goddesses to make you fall for them, but that ain't gonna slide. You and me are gonna make the Harem...Well, you're gonna do that pretty much, but whatever."

"God, this is..."

"Blaze, just make them like you. I know you like the series they belong to, I mean you don't love it, but you don't hate it either." Xazathra said, making Blaze go into thought.

"Well...I mean-"

"You'll be fine. I'm sure you're not compl-...okay, maybe..." Xazathra then paused the game again and set down his controller. A vein became visable on Blaze's head. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Alright, since I'll be busy grinding at games like these, she's your problem now." Xazathra said as he got up. He picked up his sword off of the wall, unsheathed it, and raised it to his hand.

"Ultimately, I never wanted to deal with her ever again because I never could get rid of her, but hey, if she'll annoy you now, I'm cool with it." Xazathra said...as he then cut a large cut on his hand. Blood gushed from his newly formed cut, surprising Blaze. Blaze stood up, taken aback by his action.

"W...Who do you mean?" Blaze asked, as Xazathra looked back at him. Xazathra's blood hit the ground for a Moment, letting a puddle of blood on the floor appear, as the bleeding suddenly stopped...then, the blood began to glow red.

Slowly, the blood began to rise into a sphere and begin swirling. It sized down to a marble, and floated towards Blaze's shoulder. It expanded again...and popped like a bubble. There...a girl about 5 inches in height was.

She was about 5 inches in height. She had a crimson one piece dress, tan skin, and devil wings on her back. She also has a devil tail, Crimson eyes, and has silver hair with a hint of red.

"Uhm...who...is-?"

"I call her Aka, she is the very Incarnation of Apocalypse and Daughter of All Evil." Xazathra said. "A piece of my Existence."

"Y-You can do that? How did you do that?" Blaze asked, as Xazathra just shrugged. "Dunno, she just appeared all of a sudden and wouldn't go away. Tried killing her a few times, but turns out she won't die no matter what either. Same immortality." Xazathra explained as he sat back down. Blaze just stared at him blankly...before blinking.

"...Wait, Immortality?"

"Oh yeah, forgot to mention." Xazathra said. "Since she's here now, your immortality surfaced. Meaning, ya can't die. Congrats, you've now entered the unstoppable part of your existence." Xazathra groaned as he began playing now. "Alright, question time is over. Get lost." Xazathra said as he resumed playing. Before Blaze could say anything else, Xazathra put on a gaming headset, ignoring him as he continued to play.

Twitching, Blaze held back his anger and urge to shout. But gave up, knowing that he wouldn't win against him. He closed his eyes again, and when he opened them again, he was back in his room. Blaze sighed, looking over at his closet again.

"Wonderful...now how do I even-?"

"Begin with making Goddesses fall head over heels for me?" A female voice whispered into Blaze's ear. Shocked, Blaze swung his head to the side, and saw the devil pixie named Aka on his shoulder. She had both her hands behind her back as she smiled sweetly and happily.

"You're...!"

"Yep Yep! Lord Xazathra already the old you who I am, but My name is Aka! I'll be assisting you with creating a Harem!" Aka cheered as she took flight into the air with her small devil wings.

"...all of this seems really stupid (or in reader perspective, Mary Sue-ish)." Blaze mumbled.

"Now now! Don't be like that! After all, we already have a start on our Tsundere of the Harem!" Aka threw some random confetti in the air, making Blaze twitch in anger and irritation.

"...I now see why Xazathra finds her annoying."

"Now then! Let us begin Harem Plan XXX!" Aka cheered as she pointed her finger at Blaze's ring finger and shot a red laser at it. After she did, a gold ring appear on his ring finger. Blaze looked at his hand...

"A ring...?"

"Not just any old ring! Lift it up and focus real hard!" Aka yelled as Blaze obeyed. When he lifted it, a giant screen appeared from the ring. Shocked, Blaze stared at it in disbelief. On the screen were gauges of all of the Goddesses, including Alice and Scarlet. I a separate section, Brave's name was also there...

"Before we start, Brave is in a different section, so don't get the wrong idea. He's basically your servant now, so just have him think kindly of you." Aka first cleared up, as Blaze exhaled in relief.

"Anyway~! Here we have all the gauges for the Harem Plan! Let's see those results!" Aka cheered...

Neptune - 29

Nepgear - 28

Noire - 43

Uni - 19

Blanc - 21

Rom - 12

Ram - 5

Vert - 34

Plutia - 40

Peashy - 37

Uzume - 36

Adult Neptune - 21

Histoire - 36

Alice - 98

Scarlet - 95

Brave - 20

...

Blaze stared at the gauges and there numbers...

"...Are, um...these-?"

"Just hitting the 'Wow you suck' line." Aka answered. Blaze then twitched at that, feeling his pride kinda drop. "But with my help, these gauges will Max out in no time!" Aka then said, determined.

"...This still feels stupid." Blaze mumbled. "But...maybe this won't be so bad..." Blaze mumbled, but Aka heard that.

"THAT'S THE SPIRIT!" Aka yelled, making Blaze jump. Aka then looked like she was Floating on her back, deep in thought.

"Now, if we focus on Noire until we can move into our next member, we may be able to raise some major points!" Aka mumbled. She then slammed her fist onto her open palm and looked back. She landed onto Blaze's shoulder.

"Now, we will focus on Noire, since she's the highest climber besides your sisters. Rom, Ram, and Peashy will be different, so be prepared for that, understood? Brave's view on you will change as long as he sees you as someone worth following, and he isn't the only person capable of being your follower, we are able to get the other CFWs as well if you want. Maybe even the Deity of Sin if that pleases you. When the opportunity arises, we can start focusing on different members as well." Aka explained, as Blaze nodded. "Also, don't mention any of this to the others, it'll make things harder." Aka then added, as Blaze agreed.

"Yeah, I know." Blaze said.

"Perfect! With my later actions in the past a start of some type, we can-"

"Excuse me?"

"?!" Aka shivered as she felt a strange amount of bloodlust be directed at her. She turned to see Blaze glaring at her suspiciously.

"...Now that I think about it...there were some times that seemed...out of character." Blaze growled. "Like when Plutia, Peashy and Uzume became CPUs...or when Nepgear tackled me..."

"...That was me." Aka smiled childishly. Blaze grabbed her and crushed her, blood escaping through his fingers. After a Moment, Aka pushed open his fingers. "You're so mean!"

"Don't do crap like that again, clear?" Blaze growled. Aka flew out of his grasp as she obeyed. "Okay okay!"

"Good...so what now?" Blaze asked, as Aka just landed on his shoulder. "Go downstairs and join everyone? Noire isn't your only member, and it doesn't hurt to get some points on the others~!" Aka said. "Oh, and one more thing. You know how you usually can't see Ghosts?"

"Yeah?"

"That's the same for most Reapers, so no one besides a Reaper will be able to see me. Noire could, but if I choose not to be seen, she won't. Neither will the ring, so it's okay." Aka said, as Blaze just inhaled. "They'll most probably be playing Video Games on the downstairs PlayStation right now..." Blaze thought...as he looked over at his Tv stand. He bent down and opened it, going through some games before pulling out a good one. He also grabbed the PSVR and left his room. Going down the stairs, he walked into the living room and saw Noire, Neptune, Blanc, and Vert just get done with another Zombies map.

"Hey." Blaze said, making himself known. Most of the Goddesses looked at him, besides Adult Neptune, who gave a glance before returning to getting another match ready.

"Heya Blaze!" Neptune cheered. He set the VR box down along with the game.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.

"Who wants to be brave?" Blaze asked, as everyone looked at him. Neptune looked at the game and tilted her head.

"Huh? What's this?" Neptune asked, as Noire took it from her hands and looked at it.

"What game is it?" Noire asked, everyone else grew interested. Blaze waved for the controller from Adult Neptune as she handed it to him. "It's a fun game." Blaze merely said as he closed the game currently in. He then started to get the VR set up.

"Who's gonna play it? Nep? Noire? Uzume?" Blaze offered on who was gonna play first.

"Alright, I'll play." Noire said first. Neptune then jumped up, objecting.

"I wanna okay it first!" Neptune complained. "You can play after Noire's turn." Blaze said, just about done setting up the VR. He stood up, took the case and out the game in. He then handed the controller to Noire, and then handed her the VR. She put it on, and looked around with it on as she sat down. Giving her a little room, everyone sat farther away from Noire.

"Hey, what game is this supposed to be...?" Uzume asked as Noire began playing.

"Just watch..." Blaze whispered so Noire couldn't hear her. Blaze then looked over at Ram, and tapped her shoulder. When she looked at him, Blaze pointed to the light switch, as Ram knew what he meant. Ram ran over and turned off all the lights. Watching, Sarah just rolled her eyes and she pulled out her phone.


To say Noire was taken aback by the game was a understatement. Ultimately, she did expect it to be a horror game, but the ones back in Gamindustri do not compare to what she was playing now. She could feel her heart racing as she was in a very tense part of the game.

"Noire, you're gonna have to run from him, just press L2 to block." Blaze said, as Noire tried to hit him. "Shut up! I know!" Noire yelled.

"..." Uzume just watched, as did everyone else. Ultimately, rather than being scared, except Peashy, Ram and Rom who had left eariler, and no, not because of the game being scary, but they went got bored and went to play. But, rather...everyone else wanted to play it more, excluding Brave who was busy lifting small weights. Especially Vert, who had very good experience with VR.

When Noire was caught, she started to get more tense. She ran and ran through the halls, wondering why she was going so slow when she would be running for her life. When she got hit, she jumped up a little.

"Come on, Noire! Run!"

"I'm Trying!" Noire yelled.

"Key Key Key Key Key Key Key Key Key!" Adult Neptune yelled loudly, as Noire grabbed the key and ran towards the big door.

"No! Back Back Back!" Neptune yelled. Noire then turned around and somehow managed to get through Jack Baker.

"I'm going I'm going!" Noire yelled back. When she went into the hatch room, she opened the menu, but hit the herb she collected from eariler.

"NOO! NO NO NO NO!" Noire yelled as Jack Baker reentered the room.

"Run Noire, Run!" Uni yelled, as Noire rushed past Jack, but not before getting hit, making Noire jump up a bit more. Managing to rush past Jack, she made it back to the hallway to where the key was, but-

Jack burst through the wall loudly, making Noire unexpectedly scream. Holding back laughter, Neptune covered her mouth. Everyone got loud at that point, as Noire paused the game and took off the headset.

"Oh come on, it ain't that bad." Blaze sighed.

"NOT THAT BAD?! WHY DON'T YOU TRY IT!?" Noire yelled, but Neptuen short up and put the VR on before Blaze could even get up.

"No way! I wanna try it!" Neptune yelled as she started the game again.

"Lord Blaze, 9 o' Clock!" Aka whispered into Blazes' ear, where she still sat on his shoulder. Blaze glanced over to his left, as he saw Plutia starting to get annoyed. Just by looking at her, you could try she wasn't happy. Everyone else didn't even notice this, but it looked like she was considering transformation. At that time, Blaze had to act fast. So, he pet Plutia's head, getting some surprise from the tired CPU.

"Eeeeeeh...?" Plutia looked at him, as he leaned over. No one else really took notice to this, too focused on the video game.

"Is it too loud for you?" Blaze asked. Plutia seemed to be thinking, as she smiled, crawling up to Blaze's lap and laying her head down.

"It's fiiiine..." Plutia answered, smiling in satisfaction. Blaze leaned down to a drawer in the coffee table, and opened it up. Searching through some papers and DVD cases, he pulled out a pack of ear plugs.

"Do you want these?" Blaze offered, as Plutia glanced at the hand of which held the ear plugs. However, she only snuggled her head on Blaze's lap as she smiled. "Noooo...Its okay..." She answered.

+2~!

"...?" Blaze stared at Plutia,nowhere a pixel number 2 appeared out of thin air.

"If you're wondering, that proves you are raising point gauges! Just don't bring it up with anyone though!" Aka whispered, as Blaze just shook her head slightly. Blaze shrugged lightly as he put the ear plugs back. A few minutes later, all while Neptune made it farther than Noire, which displeased the Tsundere CPU, the sound of a door was heard by the front door. Blaze looked over and saw his Mother, Violet, try to sneak up stairs.

"Where ya goin', Mom?" Blaze sound loudly and sternly, making Violet freeze. She glanced over at Blase...

"O-Oh...Hey, Blaze~..." Violet awkwardly said. Blaze glanced at her as Neptune paused the game after she defeated a boss, and then handed it to Uzume.

"What may you be doing right now?" Blaze asked, as Violet started getting nervous.

"U-Uhm...well...~...uh...Bathroom! Yeah, bathroom!" Violet answered as she bolted. Blaze just shook his head and sighed, resuming to watch Uzume play now.

"Blaze, where are your strawberries?" Sarah asked, going through the fridge. Blaze looked back at her. "Hey, don't be going through my fridge!"


A strawberry was pushed past the lips of someone. Now outside, Unknown was blinded by purple glowing black chains tightly, hanging in the air. Resting on a bear with metal claws, teeth, and black fur, was Alice. The bear also had purple flames oozing out of its eyes and mouth as it growled...

Alice's eyes were a dark purple, as she smiled seductively at Unknown bounded. She had her legs crossed, as she was completely relaxed while laying atop of a demonic bear.

"Okay, now I can-" Unknown didn't finish due to the tightening of the chains that blinded him, making him shut up. Alice just narrowed her eyes.

"Oh, boy...I'm not angry." Alice answered, her voice a bit more mature. She plopped another strawberry into her mouth as she got up, her pajamas being shrouded by a black oozeing mist...

She now wore a black skirt, black top with a small black leather jacket on, which had some metal horns sticking up on the shoulder. Alice now had black heels on as well, along with fingerless gloves. She slowly got of the demonic bear, as she sprouted black wings which seemed dead, covered by a black mist, and dripped some black liquid as well, along with some dark purple in the mix of it.

She floated over to Unknown, his face being forced down by the chains somehow as Alice ran a finger down his face.

"I'm just so...confused...as to why you would dare touch what is mine..." Alice said, as a purple flame appeared where Alice dragged her finger. However, it didn't burn Unknown's face.

"I tho-!"

"You thought? Thought?" Alice asked as the chains tightened. Alice grabbed his face with some force.

"He is mine...if you were to try a stunt like that ever again..." Alice said as she slowly moved her mouth up to Unknown's ear. She placed a finger on his face, as she slowly moved it as a mist was starting to be pulled out of Unknown...

"...I won't be so merciful this time..." Alice whispered as she stopped pulling the mist with her finger and thre Unknown's face away. The chains were dispelled as Alice sat back onto the bear.

"Now, why are you here?" Alice asked in annoyance, plopping yet another strawberry into her mouth. Unknown dusted himself off as he got up. He had a serious look on his face as he looked at Alice.

"It's bad. Very bad." Unknown answered, as Alice raised an eyebrow.

"Bad how?" She sighed.

"Extremely."

"Scary~..." Alice hummed as she plopped yet another strawberry into her mouth.

"It concerns Sis."

Alice immediately looked at him...and made a face of annoyance and one that just spelled 'Dude, really? Her again?'

"What is it now?" Alice asked in annoyance. Unknown shook her head.

"I have to let everyone know about it..."

"You still don't trust Blaze Creed, do you?" Alice suddenly asked, as Unknown twitched.

"...I can't believe that Xazathra is...him..." Unknown simply answered. Alice sighed as she hopped off the bear, who later turned into a normal bear before running off into the woods. Alice changed back into her pajamas, her wings disappearing as she walked up to Unknown.

"He may still be somwhat Xazathra, but the one whom you believe is Xazathra, is Blaze Creed. The New Xazathra. I'd love for it if you got along with him, especially since you'll be helping us save all of existence." Alice explained as she walked past Unknown.

"...Alright, I'll do that." Unknown answered. "I'll trust Blaze, but not Xazathra." He added. Alice merely shrugged, as she closed her eyes. "Be a dear and bring Alice back to the house, will you?" Alice asked, as she then nearly fell on her back, but Unknown caught her before that happened.

"...I had thought you died, but you always surprise me in the weirdest ways." Unknown asked he stared at Alice's sleeping face. He shook his head as he picke her up and went back to the house.

...


"Alright, what is it?" Blaze asked, with a tone of annoyance. Unknown held back some anger, but just let it slide. He inhaled and exhaled as his expression turned serious.

"Okay, first off, let me introduce myself again. My name is Unknown Instinct. I'm a CPU." Unknown said. "But of course, you already know that much."

"What is it that you're here for?" Vert asked, as Unknown looked at her. "Ultimately, I was just passing through. But I noticed Time had stopped in this Universes' Hyper Dimension." Unknown began explaining. "Time freezing just doesn't happen. It's not some natural occurrence. I was planning g on how to get it back going, but I felt Xazathra's power so I went to check that out."

"That must have been when Blaze lost control in the Mirror World!" Nepgear said, as Unknown looked at her confused.

"Lost control...?" Unknown asked.

"Yeah, as it turns out he'll lose all control if he transforms and not in a Goddesses' presence." Noire answered.

"I see..." Unknown simply answered. "Well, putting that aside, Xazathra was supposedly dead to al of existence, so...sensing his power from another dimension was rather shocking. I'm probably not the only one who noticed either, you'll probably be having a lot of people looking for confirmation...and they won't exactly be thrilled when they found out the Bane is alive." Unknown told Blaze, who just rolled his eyes.

"Wonderful..."

"Well, what else is there to tell us?" Uni asked, as Unknown looked at her.

"...Well, I'm trying to get time going for a different reason." Unknown said. "I have a older sister named Existia. She has the power to 'Delete' something, and is capable of deleting Universes..." Unknown began. "She deletes Univeres that have some sort of disturbance, I've been going from Universe to Universe to stop that disturbance before she notices. Her companion, Extinctio, is with her..."

"...So?" Uzume asked.

"...This Universe will be deleted if she finds out that Time is frozen."

!

"Isn't that a bit hardcore?!" Uzume asked.

"This is bad, right?!"

"..."

Everyone wa shocked at that detail. Time being frozen was more serious than they realized now, now they were in a race against time?!

"How much time do we have before she notices?" Blaze asked, as Unknown looked at him. "I don't know. Honestly, she could notice at any time, and to make matters worse, when she finds out you're here...she won't exactly think twice." Unknown said.

"We'll just leave it at he did something that pissed her off, yada yada." Sarah then said, getting up. "Okay, now let's make one thing clear? Now, after exactly getting a email from Violet-"

Unknown looked at Violet, who smiled as a retort.

"I above come to some theories. Now, if I'm not mistaken, that kid there has a ability called 'Authority' right?" Sarah asked...as Unknown nodded.

"She is in this Universe?" She asked with more tone in her voice, as Unknown asked again.

"Would that, at all, threaten her?" Sarah asked. Everyone realized where she was getting at.

"You're right! If she tries, she'll fall under Alice's power!" Blanc said in realization.

"So it doesn't matter. You know, unless she is moved somewhere else, but that's the only issue with that." Sarah shrugged.

"...T-Thats true. You...are surpringly calm about this..."

"Hear that a lot. Anyway, get to the point Violet." Sarah said as she sat back down. Violet was hesitant to step forward, holding her other arm nervously.

"...I haven't told you everything about Hsitoire, everyone. And I apologize greatly for that...I thought it would be bad if you all knew, since it's considered life threatening just knowingly her name." Violet explained.

Everyone turned confused at her sudden apology, as she began explaining again.

"...Please let me explain a bit of history." Violet began her history tale...

"During the Dawn of the Creation, 5 stones, known as 'Cores' appeared due to Creation. They are as the following: The Space Core, Creation Core, Connection Core, Time Core, and Soul Core. These Cores were extremely powerful, unrivaled by any being. They were scattered by Unknwon entities, hoping for their existence to fade into time...but that was not the case. The Soul Core fell into the hands of my mother, Lady Void Heart, Ruler of Oblivion, and the Time Core manifested its own eternal dimension called Time Dimension, and no one has ever been able to go there to retrieve it. For even a immortal will die there instantly due to its defenses. The other Cores were lost, never to be seen again...however, a entity also appeared along with the Cores."

...

"She was a small, seemingly fragile being with knowledge beyond all expectation. As it turns out, she is the one who can control all the cores all at once. The first time she did, nothing was able to stand against her. Nothing could even come near her. All of existence was like toys in the palm of her hand. When the Cores split from her, she was sealed inside her book, never to be seen again...until now." Violet narrowed her eyes, as she sharpened them Instantly.

"That was the Histoire that stands before us all now." She said, as Everyone looked at Histoire.

"..."

"Her true Idenity is the one who can dominate and control all things with ease, a unstoppable force. The single most powerful Artifact in existence: Eien Memoire."
