Arc 1 Age of the Dark Omen, Chapter 1; 7 Years Later, Warriors of Today!

7 Years have gone by in the world of Gamindustri, many events have happened. On top of a nearby mountain between Planeptune and Lowee there stood Jeff who has grown into a young man having red hair, and black eyes, he is wearing a sleeveless red trimmed, black waistcoat, that is left open and untucked, exposing his bare chest, has a red trimmed black cloth around the waist that reaches his knees, held by a black sash wrapped tightly around the waist, white knee-length trousers with red ribbon ties, a thick black and red wristband on his right wrist, black open-toed sandals, and a white scale-patterned scarf he received from his foster father Igniaus. He is also carrying a large pack on his back with stuff he has for traveling. He stares into the sky thinking about his father wondering why he would leave.

"No matter what happens my son, be sure to always be there to protect your friends. I will also be by your side forever. Stay strong and fight for your future friends!" Those were the last words from Igniaus that he remembers before he suddenly disappeared. As the wind blew he looked down at his hand with sadness.

"Dad… I don't understand. Why did you disappear…?" Jeff asks himself as he clenches his fist upset about his disappearance. He calms himself and continues walking back down towards Planeptune.


-Start Opening; Fairy Tail Snow Fairy by: Amalee-

Fairy, where're you going We'll gather the light along the way and make it shine upon a brand new day

(Out in the night sky of Gamindustri small lights fly into the air across the four nations and fly high with Jeff in a forest seeing the night sky)

Oh yeah Can you hear the voice that's calling you yet

(On a building of Lastation James stares at the basilicom and turns to the sky above.)

Oh yeah It's raw and hoarse from screaming out to you

(In a forest of Lowee Alex is leaning against a tree and turns his head looking through the trees.)

Oh yeah But it won't give up until you can answer it

(In Leanbox Isaac has slain a monster and looks up at the sky.)

Oh yeah Oh yeah

(On a hill Jeff sees the whole land of Planeptune turning behind him ready for action.)

Though all this time has past, I still remember

(Jeff walks through the streets of each nation and one by one James, Alex, and Isaac are beside him.)

The sun and moon and how they shine together

(The four guys stop and make camp for the day to rest.)

It feels so strange when you are not here with me. I need your smile just to keep me going

(On the path between Planeptune and Lowee Selena was walking into the nation of Planeptune until she raised her head to see the four guys waiting for her and she smiles.)

In my heart it's snowing I'm trying my best to smile slowly it's warming as fate is linking your heart with mine

(The group of five travel through the lands beginning their adventures into danger with large monster hordes, Jeff and James with sparks in their eyes.)

Fairy where're you going we'll gather the light along the way and make it shine upon a brand new day

(Jeff consumes a large amount of fire causing an explosion and the others are gathered watching the scene. As the five are face to face with a large Guard Vermin.)

Don't say Goodbye

(One part shows Jeff with Igniaus then it changes to Jeff and James clashing their fists together causing a large shockwave.)

-End of Song-


Planeptune; City Streets

Once getting to the city streets Jeff starts making his way through the city as he can see some different kinds of troubles that are being handled by Basilicom staff. There was also another one being handled by a long brunette haired girl that has a green ribbon tied in her hair, she is wearing a large blue long coat, in a black and silver tank top and shorts. She also strangely has nine phone cases strapped to the belt of her coat.

"Alright you two, your little schemes are over." She tells the two others that were selling some sort of devices out to people.

"Aw dammit, give us a break already. You broads ruined everything in the past, and I didn't work my ass off just to get caught by you! I'm out of here!" A girl with light green hair and red eyes with grey skin, she wears a grey hoodie that looks similar to a mouse and also wears a small top barely covering her small chest, she also has black pants. The other was an actual grey mouse.

"Wait for me, chu!" the mouse shouts and the duo runs away passing Jeff who wondered if he should go after the two seeming to be criminals. The brunette approached him noticing his expression.

"There isn't a need to go after them." she tells him, and gets his attention. "Those two were once part of an organization that almost corrupted all of Gamindustri. Luckily the CPUs were able to put a stop to it, and now that Organization has fallen."

"Shouldn't you catch them though?" Jeff asks her thinking they might try doing the same thing again later.

"It's fine, besides they aren't much of a threat at all." the brunette tells him "Anyway sorry for taking up your time, I gotta get back to work." She then heads to where the guild building is at. Jeff just stood where he was, still looking at the direction where the two ran off towards thinking maybe to chase after them, but decided to take the brunette's word on the two not being much of a threat. He makes his way to the guild, the same building the brunette went to and enters seeing it have many people inside chatting. He walks to the front desk where the brunette is at which gets her attention. "Oh it's you, were you planning to do some jobs in the guild?"

"Yea, I am gonna have to do something worthwhile and not sit around all day." Jeff tells her as the lady at the desk grabs some things to get him ready.

"I agree with you there, you should meet a friend of mine. Everyday she is always being lazy and doesn't want to work." The brunette says "I am guessing you need to get started so let me help out, I'm IF by the way."

"Jeffrey, but you can call me Jeff." He says and IF helps him get started by getting an ID to accept quests and he of course has to start with the E Rank quests. "Man I have to start with weak monsters? Lame…" IF slightly laughs at his annoyed expression.

"Well you will have to progress better to reach the higher ranks, here are a few quests you can do to get started." IF tells him and she finds a few quests that he can start on. "I'll come along as well to see how well you fight."

"I think I can handle something simple on my own." Jeff tells her with a bored expression.

"Wow someone sounds confident. Still I'd like to see what you are able to do." IF says to him, and they go into a forest dungeon area.


Meanwhile in an alleyway in part of Planeptune, the two criminals from before were taking a breather from running away from IF.

"Agh dammit, that broad chick ruins all our damn plans!" Linda says pissed off at the failed attempts to scam some cash from civilians.

"Those CPUs ruined all our plans, and yet we tried to sell all of this again Chu…" Warechu says. "Although what makes me curious is that monster invasion, it happened again after that other time years ago."

"Honestly I don't give a damn about what happens, I just want to get rid of those damn CPUs!" Linda says pissed off like always. "And those other broads with them are a pain in the ass!"

"Then perhaps you would like to show them something that will surely finish them for good." A mysterious woman's voice spoke up.

"Huh? Who the hell are you?" Linda asked, looking deeper in the shadows of the alley.

"Hang on, I know that voice from anywhere! I thought you were perished by those CPUs, chu." Warechu assumed as the figure walked closer to the duo.

"There is no need to know, but what you do need to know is that I have some plans on going to eliminate the CPUs." A familiar witch says to them with a sly grin.


Lastation; Mountain Areas

In the lands of Lastation out in the mountain dungeon area there sits James who has black raven hair, crimson eyes, he currently wears a sleeveless jacket with the hood over his head, he bas black and silver pants, black and silver boots, he has a strap that carries a device that holds a large Buster Sword wrapped in bandages. What happened 7 years ago is what changed him big time.

"Vivian…" He said to himself quietly as he looked up at the cloudy sky remembering what happened.

-Flashback-

After the 7 candidates had completely recovered and finished everything in the simulation, the scientists got them out and said it was time to implant the serum inside to become Super Warriors as Cassandra had hoped for.

"It is finally done! Now to do the finishing touches! Alright everyone, follow me to the chambers. It is finally time for the moment to come!" Cassandra was excited for this to happen. The group of teens followed her into a room with a tank and a table so the person doesn't fall down. "Alright who would like to go first?"

"I will." James raised his hand volunteering for being the first person to acquire the special powers and bold to get started.

"Wait, don't do it!" Vivian grabs his hand scared for him.

"Don't worry Viv, I'll be alright." He tells her with a heartwarming smile and walks in the tank and lays down and is strapped in.

"This is our first test, but we do have to make sure you don't suddenly become strange if you understand what I mean." Cassandra tells him and he nods while Vivian watches with worry. The scientist starts up the machine and purple smoke spews below from the floor inside and it starts getting absorbed into his body. As this was being processed one scientist noticed something like the machine was heating too much suddenly.

"Uh oh, that doesn't look good." He muttered to himself. Once the machine stopped, James was having tingly feelings all over his body. They release him from the straps and he looks at his hands almost like it felt numb to him.

"It worked! The scanner says that his body has the Saints Serum flowing through him! Onto the next volunteer!" Cassandra says really excited.

"Uh Cassandra, I think we should wait before we continue doing so…" He tries to explain to her that it could be bad if they start up the machine again.

"We must complete the project, alright next person!" Cassandra signals the other 6 and Vivian stepped forward for being the next to volunteer and she gets strapped in. They start the machine again but this time it starts acting up strangely. "What's going on?!"

"The machine is overheating! If it goes way too much then everything could-" before he could finish the machine explodes with Vivian still inside.

"VIVIAN!" James shouted out to her however before he could go check the scientists grabbed him and everyone evacuates and the lab explodes multiple times and destroys everything. While James fell to his knees in despair seeing the girl he called his best friend and crush to vanish from the world. "No… why…? Viv…" It started raining as James started breaking into tears losing the important person he cared so much for. He then looked up to see a large looking sword strapped into a special holster device.

"Oh so my large Buster Fusion Sword survived, good thing I made special materials that can't break or melt it no matter what." A scientist says as he was about to grab it, James grabbed the sword and put it over him with his eyes shadowed. He then leaves silently without saying a word.

"You killed her, one day I will get revenge!" He thought to himself while he is walking in the rain while deep underground he doesn't have any clue of what actually happened.

-End of Flashback-

James had fought a lot with the sword he carried on his back through 7 years by using the powers he was given. However using the powers tires him out a lot more than usual, so he has been careful on using his power if needed. Mostly he uses the Sword he took to fight monsters off, there have been times when the Lastation CPUs were dealing with machines. With his quick reactions he destroyed them and quickly left the scene before they could get a glimpse of him. The two CPUs were currently fighting against a large machine in the distance from where he is, the machine fired as Black Heart dodged away from the blast. Black Sister aimed her giant rifle gun at the machine and shot the legs of it, but didn't destroy them.

"These cursed machines keep causing problems, and they just get somehow more skilled against the two of us." Black Heart says, sounding annoyed from this situation.

"Yea, barely any of our attacks are denting it." Black Sister says as she aims and fires at the machine though not denting it much. Black Heart flies and strikes it with her Lace Ribbon Dance. Though the attack didn't do much and she was going to get distance when the machine fired and a claw grabbed her leg and smashed her into the ground. "Noire!" Black Sister aimed at the turret and fired as much as she could to free her sister. "Argh, what the heck is this thing made of?!"

"I don't know but this is not one I want to deal with!" Black Heart says and was about to cut off the part attached to the claw on her leg but it starts conducting electricity causing her to loosen her grip on her sword. From the distance James took his sword and readied himself.

"Noire!" Black Sister aims at the turret again about to shoot when something collided and froze it, stopping the electricity. "Huh?" She looked at where the attack came from, she saw a figure jump high and fly down at the machine smashing it into smithereens. Black Sister flew towards her big sister as she was getting up and they looked at where the person that destroyed the machine was, but they were already gone.

"Who was that?" Black Heart asks her little sister and she shrugged, unknowing of who it was.

"I couldn't get a good look at them, I was mostly focused on you." Black Sister answered honestly, which Black Heart sighed and returned to normal form.

"Well, our job is done Uni. Let's go back to Lastation." Noire tells her and starts walking with her little sister Uni walking beside her. However Noire couldn't help but wonder who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and saved them. "I'll have to search for who it was that made their appearance."

Hidden from behind a mountain James was watching the two CPUs leaving the dungeon area.

"I never knew Lady Black Heart had a sister, when did this happen?" He asked himself in his thoughts. He honestly wanted to know the answers but he felt that he should stay far away until they needed assistance.


Lowee; Inside the Basilicom

Inside the Basilicom, Alex sat by one of the windows looking out at the city, he currently wears a Light Blue long sleeved jacket with a hood, underneath is a white tank top, he has a silver necklace which was given to him by a friend of his long ago. He wears dark brown pants with a belt that holds a deck box for his cards, and has brown boots. He also has the duel disk that he used 7 years ago in the very tournament he participated in.

"How had this come to be?" He asked himself remembering what happened to him on the very day.

-Flashback-

It was the last day of the annual Duel Monsters Tournament as it was Alex VS Alice, Alex is using a special deck he uses while Alice is using her Spellcaster deck. Both duelists were given duel disks that allowed people to duel without the old school arena. Both of them were below 1000 life points with Alice having her Silent Magician Lv 8, but trapped on the last turn of Alex's Sword of Revealing light. Alex had his active spell, Magician's Valkyria, and a face down card.

"For my move I'll summon Neo the Magic swordsman in attack mode, and place a card facedown. Your turn Alex!" Alice says doing her move as the swords disappear from her side of the field.

"Alice is trying to bait me into attacking, she's thinking I'll summon a monster so she can leave me defenceless by using her facedown. But I know this trick too well, I just need to draw the right cards to win this!" Alex thought. "Heart of the Cards, guide me…" He draws his next card and takes a look at what he drew. "I'll start with Pot of Greed! Allowing me to draw two cards!" He looked at what he drew and smiled. "Next, I'll sacrifice my Valkyria to summon Dark Magician Girl!" Doing so he summons a young blonde girl with a wand and wears a sky blue outfit. "Next I'll play Monster Reborn and return my all time favorite, Dark Magician!" Using his spell he summons a man in a purple magician outfit wielding a staff with a green crystal. "Now I activate the Spell Dark Burning Magic! If I have both Dark Magician and Dark Magician girl on the field, all your monsters, spells, and traps are destroyed!" The two Spellcasters unleash a blast at Alice's field destroying her monsters and facedown cards.

"So… this is where it comes to… go ahead Alex, finish this off." She tells him ready for the final attack. "You get to win with a card I gave to you to think about me with you…"

"You fought valiantly Alice, and I'm proud we got to have a great duel! Now my Magicians attack Alice directly with Double Dark Magic Attack!" Alex commands his spellcasters and the two combine their power and fire the finishing attack at Alice bringing her Life Points to Zero and ending the Finals of the Tournament.

"And we have our Champion! Alex is now titled as the King of Games!" The announcer says to the cheering crowd. "And now the Champion will be receiving the special prize, the most powerful card in the whole Duel Monsters game! The Egyptian God Card Slifer the Sky Dragon!" However a staff member came in and whispered something to him. "WHAT?! Are you serious?! Folks it seems that the Prize was stolen during the Final Match all of a sudden!" The crowd was in shock as well as Alex and Alice, someone must have been jealous and took the Card for themselves instead. However each of the contestants were innocent as they haven't stolen the card, they were all watching the match the entire time. "The prize may be gone, but they decided on giving our champion a different prize until the Egyptian God Card is found!" The manager of the Tournament comes to Alex with a small box, he opens it to find a few special cards he had never seen before.

"This one was just made, it's a one of a kind. And Also we present to you with the Ties of Friendship card!" He gives Alex a card of a young girl with her blonde hair flowing in the air in a white dress and has angel wings. "You have shown compassion to your opponents, we wish for you to have it."

"I am grateful, hey Alice why don't you keep it." Alex says holding it to her.

"Huh? Why? You won it." She tells him.

"Yeah I did, but I want you to keep it as a token of our friendship!" He says which made Alice blush, but she was happy to accept such a gift.

"This is from me to you!" Alice gets a necklace out and puts it on Alex with a locket. "It has a picture of both of us, I made this and wanted to give it to you when it was over!"

"Thanks Alice, I'll always treasure it!" He says with a smile.

"We also like to present something else, this sarcophagus was found deep in a cavern of Lowee!" A man says with five people bringing in a sarcophagus that might hold an Egyptian pharaoh's skeleton, Alex was already curious and started to opened it. However there didn't seem to be anything, until a large black mist spewed out into the air and outside the arena towards the city.

Alex rushed outside to see what was happening, what he sees is not normal. Monsters started destroying the city, but not the normal kind that is seen in Lowee. What is seen are the ones from the Duel Monsters card game! There was too much damage to the city already.

"STOP!" Alex shouted out which all of them did, then suddenly each monster turned into the black smoke and got absorbed into his body. He wasn't sure what just happened to him, however the people weren't happy about the destruction and they believed Alex was to blame because of what happened. The people from the arena were trying to defend him because of just what they saw, however Alex took it too hard as it did seem true with the duel monsters obeyed and disappeared into his body. He ran away into a forest away from the city.

"Alex Wait!" Alice called to him but he was already gone. He hides himself in a cave far away from the city.

A whole month passed as people lost interest in the Duel monsters card game and possibly forgot about it. However Alex had found out he had the power to summon duel monsters into the real world instead of a hologram. He uses this ability to keep people away from his hiding spot, but then one day he was found by the Goddess White Heart. He was hesitant when she offered him to stay at the Basilicom, but she not let a citizen of Lowee stay out in the cold, so he gave up trying to turn her down and lived in the Basilicom with the Goddess Blanc and her little sisters Rom and Ram which he never knew she had sisters.

-End of Flashback-

He was staring out the window when the twins came into his room in a rush as they were playing around together.

"Hey Alex come play with us!" Ram says excited like she always is.

"Come play…" Rom says with a quiet tone.

"Alright, alright, you two can never settle down one bit." Alex says as the twins bring him out of his room. As they left the room and went to the main room of the Basilicom.

"Hey can you show us more of those people or whatever they are?!" Ram asks excitedly as Rom nodded in agreement.

"I already showed you every single one of them, besides no one even sells them anymore." He tells the two. Ram pouted as Rom looked sad. "Geez, alright I'll show you both my most favorite. The Dark Magician!" He pulled out his card and placed it on the slot to summon his favorite Spellcaster.

"So cool!/Amazing…!" The twins say after the spellcaster was summoned. Alex was glad there was somebody who enjoyed seeing them, he heard a door open and looked to see Blanc aka White Heart returned.

"Hey Lady Blanc, so did you find anything about my friend that I haven't talked to for 7 years?" Alex asks her.

"I did… but I didn't get very much as I was expecting, a few citizens say that she and her family moved to Planeptune after that "Incident" you told me about." Blanc explains to him.

"I see… I guess they thought I was dangerous after what happened…" Alex assumed. "She may have even decided to forget about me as well…"

"Anyway besides that, I'm also going to say that the CPU of Leanbox is going to visit us." Blanc tells them.

"So Vert's coming over? Why?" Ram asks.

"Is it because of the sudden invasion of monsters last week?" Rom asked.

"Part of it, she is wanting all of us to combine our forces thinking this wasn't ordinarily set up for a bunch of monsters to attack all the nations at the same time." Blanc explains. "Honestly I don't think it's necessary to do though."

"Don't sound confident, I believe there was a meaning to that for a specific reason. Whatever it was meant to be you shouldn't let your guard down!" Alex explains to her.

"I'm a Goddess, I can take care of a mob of monsters, no sweat." She retorts back at him, although Alex felt there was some other meaning to it.


Leanbox; Trainee Area

At Leanbox's Trainee area, the soldiers were training themselves to one day become soldiers. However there was one soldier that was really skilled with the sword. It was of course Isaac, he is currently wearing soldier gear at the moment. He had taken down most of the Trainees already. But something has been on his mind 5 years ago that doesn't seem to make sense.

-Flashback-

It had been 2 years since Isaac had been a beginner to become a Leanbox Soldier, at this point Isaac had wanted to test himself by going to the temple that he has been thinking about and going to be tested by the four cores that rested within the Temple. From the moment he stepped into the center he felt a strange surge of energy being absorbed into his body, at that point it showed that the four cores sought him as a worthy candidate to have such powers.

"Whoa… is this really happening? Hm I wonder what I can do." Isaac muttered and then snapped his fingers causing lightning to strike around him, that surprised him since he did it by accident. He did a blocking stance and a barrier surrounded him which was the protection power. He then crouched as he could feel wind blowing around him, he activated it as wind blew upward but he didn't have anything to lift him into the air. "This is awesome I gotta tell the others about this!" Before he could his foot kicked something which he looked down to see some strange device, he wasn't sure what it was but decided to keep it.

However once he left the Temple he started smelling a fire all of a sudden, and it was coming from the Barracks that he sleeps. Isaac panicked so he quickly ran as fast back to the Barracks. Once he got there he saw many of the soldiers standing and watching as the Captain had gotten out of the burning building as he was a bit burnt over his whole body.

"What just happened?!" Isaac asked, shocked to see the whole building burn to the ground.

"We aren't sure, the Captain was grabbing something then all of a sudden the building just caught fire." One of the Trainees explained. "No one is sure how or what started the fire, but it happened a bit after the captain went in. That's all everyone knows."

"Was there anyone else in there?" Isaac asks which some were confused.

"I don't think there was, I doubt anyone would want to be inside a burning building. But why do you ask?" The Trainees all look at Isaac curiously.

"Well… I honestly… I don't really know. Why did I ask that?" Isaac asks completely confused as his mind seems strangely fuzzy for some unknown reason. It's almost like his memories are gone or something.

-End of Flashback-

Isaac had sighed deeply as he was lost in his thoughts, then he noticed the soldiers looking in a certain direction. He turned to see what they were looking at, it was a very important person, the Goddess Lady Green Heart. She is also accompanied by a Basilicom staff member.

"That's him Lady Vert, the one that the Captain has mentioned." He says to her which he was directing towards Isaac. The Goddess walks towards him as he watches her curious at why she is interested in him.

"My staff says you had gained the strange powers from in the Temple years ago, and you have exceptional swordsmanship skills." She says to him.

"Yes I have done that. I have done my hardest to work hard and be one of the best future soldiers of Leanbox." Isaac says to her. "Is there anything you want Lady Green Heart?"

"In a way yes I do. I have a few favors, one of them was to select my personal Knight!" She explains, saying the last words with almost a seductive tone.

"Pardon me Lady Green Heart, but Isaac is still a trainee at this moment!" The Captain replied.

"Are you questioning what I am asking for?" The Goddess questioned the Captain.

"N-no my Lady! I'm only saying it might be too early to promote him as a knight already!" He explained. "He still has a long way to go of course! He will need as much training to be a personal Knight my Lady!"

"I think I know what I am doing Captain. I will do what I want alright?" She tells him, and the captain decides that whatever she decides is her choice. "Now then will you please come with me? I have a special uniform for you." He follows her to the Basilicom which is his first time inside the building, he is brought to a changing room. "In there is your new uniform, get it one because I am going to visit the Lowee Goddess." Isaac was surprised she was going to see another CPU after many years they were at war one day now it all suddenly stopped.

He entered the changing room and gets the new outfit he was given, since out of his soldier armor he has dirty blonde hair, and green eyes, he puts on a green version of Link's Champion Tunic with a white undershirt, beige pants, brown boots with black trims, has brown arm guards. He gets the Sword and Shield next to the clothes and straps it on him. He leaves the changing room and the Goddess gets a good look at his new outfit.

"This is a comfortable outfit other than that Soldier Armor Suit. Thank you Lady Green Heart!" Isaac thanks her.

"Please, there is no need for the formalities. Just call me Vert from now on." She tells him. "Now that you are all set, shall we head to Lowee?" He nods and the two leave the Basilicom as she carries him in her CPU form and flies towards Lowee.

"This should be an interesting journey for me." Isaac thought to himself as he his holding onto her hands.


Planeptune; Virtua Forest

Back with IF and Jeff, they entered the Virtua Forest then suddenly Jeff stopped and looked towards the left as it seemed someone was over there, IF turned to see his reaction.

"What's up?" She asks him.

"I thought I heard something over in that direction." Jeff tells her and she looks at where he is looking. She sees a Dogoo appear from behind a tree in the distance jumping around.

"Oh it's just a regular Dogoo, no need to worry about that." IF tells him however what his high senses could tell that this was possibly human, however he can't be sure if this person is following them or just doing their own thing. So Jeff returns to follow IF to an open area with a large number of monsters. "This is the area the few quests selected are at, although this seems quite a huge amount here. Let's take them out quick."

"I can take care of this." Jeff tells her, walking forward and the group of monsters turn to him.

"I know they are weak monsters, although fighting by yourself is a bit too much." IF says worried that he might get overwhelmed.

"Nah it won't be too long." He tells her, dropping the pack he was carrying on the ground next to her. He takes a step forward and his hands light on fire. "Fire Dragon's Iron fist!" he charges and punches one the monsters causing it to fly and smash into many of them causing a lot to burst into cubes, and it leaves IF speechless. "Fire Dragon's Talon!" His foot lights on fire and he kicks another monster eliminating multiple amounts once again.

"He just took out almost all of those monsters with just two attacks… was I being careless at thinking he was just a beginner? What is that power he used?" IF asks herself in her thoughts as Jeff easily wiped out the rest of the monsters around. "You took all of those out like they were nothing."

"I would have fought something bigger than these." Jeff says and then suddenly they felt the ground shake as something big was coming towards them, and they looked to see an Ancient Dragon which roared at them.

"An Ancient Dragon! This is a tough enemy, we better fall back!" IF tells him

"A tough enemy huh?" Jeff asks her and he shows a wide grin. "Alright, I'm fired up!" Jeff runs towards the large beast

"Wait! That enemy is too powerful!" IF yells out as the Ancient Dragon goes for a punch and smashes Jeff to the ground, or so it thought since Jeff caught the fist and pushed it causing the monster to stumble as Jeff's whole body lights on fire.

"You are no match for me! I'm a Dragon Slayer!" Jeff jumps at the beast. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" He punches the beast in the face though it smacks Jeff while still midair into a tree causing it to break, which makes him mad now. "You are a tough guy, but I'm tougher than you think!" he starts breathing in about to release a large attack. "Fire Dragon's… Roar!" He blows a large stream of fire at the large beast causing it to lose a lot of stamina. "Time for the finisher, Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" Jeff flies at the enemy and pierces through the large beast as it glows a dark green color and then bursts into cubes, and Jeff lands on the ground. "Yeah, now that was fun!" IF was completely awestruck from Jeff actually soloing a strong monster such as an Ancient Dragon monster. "Alright, now it's time to head back and turn in the quests we acquired yea?" IF snaps back to reality, as Jeff lifted his pack and onto his shoulders.

"Oh y-yea!" IF says still amazed about Jeff's strength. the two return to the guild and IF just had a question run in her head. "Oh I just realized! Do you have a place to stay at?"

"Huh? No not really, I usually camp outside a lot." Jeff tells her. "That's why I have this large backpack with me."

"Ah, that makes sense. Although I have a friend who so happens to have an extra room at her place. You could use that if you want." IF tells him and he thinks about it for a moment. "It's not always good to sleep outside since you might not get sleep if monsters keep popping up and you tire yourself out."

"Hmm... You got a point, alright then lead the way." Jeff says and she leads him to a place near the Planeptune Basilicom. They go inside and head upstairs and IF knocks on the door.

"Compa, it's me." IF calls out

"The door is open Iffy." a girl says from inside, and IF opens the door and they walk into a living room with light blue couches, an orange table, as well as a TV with a console and a couple of games. A girl walks in from the kitchen who has peach color hair and eyes, a big sweater, a red plaid skirt, and boots. "Welcome back Iffy, oh who is your new friend?"

"Compa this is Jeff, and Jeff this is my friend Compa. She is a nurse in training." IF says to them

"Pleasure to meet you." Jeff says and they shook hands

"Same to you, it's always nice to make new friends!" Compa says with a happy expression

"Say Compa, is that extra room you have still not being used?" IF asks her

"Yes, why do you ask?" Compa asks her

"I was thinking maybe Jeff could use that room since he usually sleeps outside." IF tells her

"That is the reason I have this backpack full of camping equipment." Jeff explains to them. "I am trying to do my best, so I can help the world be a better place for people to have peace."

"Yea, all those mean monsters make it difficult for everyone." Compa says with a sigh. "Oh you should use the bathroom and shower. Just in the hallway and second door on the left, and the door across is the unused bedroom you can use."

"Ah ok, thanks I may need to anyways after that workout." Jeff says going into the hallway entering the room placing his backpack in the room and entering the bathroom to use the shower.

"So you met him at the guild Iffy?" Compa asks her as IF sat at the dinner table.

"Compa, there is something strange about that guy." IF starts telling her

"Strange how? What do you mean Iffy?" Compa asks confused

"I was watching how he fought today. The attacks he used were Fire based." IF explains to her.

"Like magic?" Compa asks.

"Well… it seems like that yeah, however parts of his body were lit on fire!" IF explained to her. "But he doesn't seem to be bothered by it and it doesn't burn him. Like he is immune…" IF continues on about Jeff's abilities and his mysterious magic. While in the shower Jeff was feeling distracted about Igniaus leaving so suddenly without telling Jeff.

"I will find you Igniaus, and I promise to do everything in my power to protect everyone in Gamindustri." Jeff thought to himself as the water splashes down his body. "I wonder what the CPU of Planeptune is like…"

Up inside the Basilicom a young girl was playing games in the living room and suddenly sneezed.

"Woo, that was a sudden one." she says while having her favorite snack. "Must be a fan of mine talking about how cute I am!"

"Neptune, tomorrow Histoire wants us to be doing some productive work." Her sister says coming into the room.

"Aw, come on. Can't you see I'm in the middle of something good right now?" Neptune asks her slightly annoyed

"I don't care, Neptune! We are doing work and that is final!" Nepgear tells her and she leaves the room. Neptune sighs, not able to get another day off just to get away from work.

"Darn, she has gotten strict like Histy…" Neptune says to herself and sighs. "I wonder what could happen tomorrow."


-The Next Day-

The sun rises and shines through the window blinding Jeff in the bed with the fluffy covers. He sits up straight and stretches, leaving the bed and wrapping his scarf around his neck. He looks out the window seeing the city and people going on like any regular day.

"A new day has come, and there is an adventure just waiting for me to take." Jeff says as he gets ready for the day and leaves the room and goes into the dining room seeing IF and Compa having breakfast. "Good morning."

"Morning, I see you slept well." IF says and Jeff nods. "So are you planning on doing more quests for the guild?"

"Yea, I am going to see if I can get ranked up for tougher quests." Jeff tells her feeling pumped up.

"Well good luck, cause you will need to do as many as you can before they find a quest that can raise your rank." IF tells him

"Yeah alright, see you later!" Jeff says and he quickly leaves out the door.

"Wait!" Before Compa could stop him he already left the place. "He ran out before having something to eat…" then in a quick moment he came back inside.

"First I'm hungry! Can't fight on an empty stomach!" Jeff says as he takes a seat at the table and the two girls laugh slightly.

Outside someone was lurking in the shadows waiting for a certain moment to exact revenge on those that have lived for too long.


Location; Below the Ocean depths

Somewhere deep beneath the ocean was something big happening. A large machine with four containers to hold a single person in each one connected to some kind of cannon.

"How are the preparations going?" a man asks some workers building the machine.

"Currently there is still some stuff needed to be installed, Master. It might take a few weeks to get it finished. All that is left is a power source for your cannon to be able to fire." one of them explains. "You never told us what you were going to use for the power source."

"That… will come in due time. I want this cannon built soon." The man tells the workers. "For I will put Gamindustri forever in darkness and destruction. And the power with this device, it will be what will bring the world into chaos!"


Back at Planeptune inside the Basilicom

"As told, you will do some work. I will not accept any complaints from you Neptune, do I make myself clear?" Histoire asks her after giving a lecture about being a CPU.

"Crystal…" Neptune says groaning.

"Good, then I expect you to do jobs at the guild for three hours exactly! If you don't do more than 5 quests you will be sleeping outside!" Histoire tells her really serious and flies out of the room.

"Three hours…" Neptune groans knowing she is going to be exhausted from that. "I really don't want to... but Histy has really become Pisty once again…"

"Come on Neptune let's not waste time now." Nepgear tells her as gets up and the two leave the basilicom and walk towards the guild to accept some quests to do.

"Hello there Lady Neptune, Lady Nepgear. Do you wish to see through the quest list?" the lady at the desk asks them

"Yes please." Nepgear tells her and brings up a list and notices most of them in progress. "Wait, why are some of these in progress?"

"Oh these were taken by a young man just a couple of minutes ago. Most of them were just hunting quests." She explains to them

"What?! I would like to know who this guy is!" Neptune declares wanting to know the person.

"Neptune, we have to do some work otherwise Histoire will get upset." Nepgear tells her.

"Well he isn't very well known, he only just registered yesterday. He should be doing the jobs in the forests. He hasn't returned to turn them in yet." The receptionist tells them and Neptune quickly runs out of the building.

"Neptune!" before Nepgear could stop her, she was already gone. Nepgear sighed and quickly grabbed some other quests she and Neptune can do. Once they go to the forest area, and what they are seeing is that most of the monsters have been cleared out, but there were craters made on the ground and there were also broken trees around the place. "My goodness… what could have caused such devastation?"

"I don't know, but something tells me it might have been that guy we were told about." Neptune says as a theory.

"Maybe… but can one person cause this much damage? It might have been a powerful monster." Nepgear says unsure of what could have caused all this. "We should hurry and get finished before-"

"Hey Nep Jr. take a look at this!" Neptune shouts out and Nepgear finds her sister looking down a hole with no idea what is down there since it is dark. "Was this ever here before?"

"I don't think so… how deep is it?" Nepgear asks and Neptune kicks a stone into the hole and it takes a while until they hear it land.

"I think that answers your question." Neptune says with a sweat drop expression. "Come on, let's get to work so Histy will get off our backs for a while." The two Nep sisters leave the hole not sure how it was made.

While they were busy, someone was in the distance waiting for the right moment to strike. After clearing what they could they start heading back to the city a bit tired from there being a ton of monsters there.

"Well at least we were able to get some work done." Nepgear says "Although I worry about what kind of monster did all that damage."

"I'm more curious about that guy actually, we never saw him in the forest. Yet we would have ran into him…" Neptune says wondering about the mysterious guy that was mentioned.

"Neptune let's not worry about that and hurry doing some work, we still have about an hour left to finish up." Nepgear tells her as they are going towards the Guild.

"What you should worry about is your very lives!" A woman's voice spoke up and they turned to see a familiar witch. "This is the end for you CPUs!"

"You again? How many times do you have to appear to make this end all horribly?" Neptune asks her with a bored expression.

"I assure you Neptune, that this time will be different than before!" Arfoire tells the Goddess, and summons her spear in her hand.

"I've heard that one before, alright Nepgear let's get this over with." Neptune tells her and transforms into Purple Heart and Nepgear becomes Purple Sister. "Let's do this Nepgear!"

"Right!" Purple Sister says and the battle starts with the two sisters charging towards Arfoire and clashing their weapons together with sparks flying. The two sisters were pushed back and Arfoire flies at Purple Heart and they clash multiple times as Purple Heart got a strike on Arfoire, while she thrusted her spear and graced on Purple Heart's side, but then swung it taking one of the four blades to cause a cut and having the CPU back away grimacing at her wound. "Neptune are you alright?!"

"Yea, but it does hurt… we need to defeat her first." Purple Heart says and she flies at Arfoire and clashing multiple times until the next clash they held their ground and Purple Heart noticed a dark aura appear around Arfoire for just a split second. "Wha…?" Arfoire knocks her away as Nepgear fires her beam attack blasting the witch away.

"Die CPUs!" Arfoire shouts with dark energy spikes shooting out of a dark sphere of energy from the tip of her spear and blasts the two sisters with a bunch of hits. The attack not only hurt them, but now their outfits were getting slightly torn up also, but what is important is the safety of everyone around them so they have to continue fighting. Purple Heart flies out of the smoke that was created and she strikes Arfoire with as much strength she could muster, but she was blasted back into the ground by an unknown and is way too damaged to get back up and continue the fight like her sister. "Ah hahahahaha! Look at this, the CPUs have fallen and are about to die by my hands!"

"How can this be…?" Purple Heart asks weakly, trying her best to stand up. Purple Sister tried to aim her gunblade, but her arm became numb and fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry Neptune…" She apologizes to her big sister.

"Nep! Gear!" IF and Compa were running to where they were

"Compa… Iffy… run… you'll be in danger…" Purple Heart warns them.

"No way we are gonna stay until she is beaten!" IF tells her, determined to fight for Neptune.

"Pitiful humans, you'll die along with the CPUs." Arfoire says and she waves her hand causing a blast of wind to knock the two away and the witch raises her left hand creating a large ball of fire. "This is the end, now fall into the depths of Despair!"

"It can't be over… someone, help… us…" Purple Heart thought as it seemed like it was over for them.


-About 2 hours ago-

"Whew! Boy that was great, thanks for everything." Jeff tells Compa, and thanks her for the meal.

"Your welcome, it's good to have food before starting the day." Compa tells him. "Hey, Jeff mind if I ask what you are going to do?"

"Well I'm doing what I can to help the CPUs keep Gamindustri in peace." He tells her

"She actually meant to ask about what other goals do you have besides that." IF explains

"Yeah, that's it!" Compa says with a smile and Jeff took a deep breath and looked out the window standing up from his seat and walked towards the window to see the city better.

"The other thing I have… is to find Igniaus…" Jeff tells them with a sad tone.

"Who is this Ig-ni-oes… person…?" Compa asks him.

"Igniaus, is actually a dragon…" Jeff says and IF spat out the drink she was sipping from hearing that.

"A dragon?!" Compa asks shocked to hear him say that

"Wait, like one of those dragons that breathe fire?!" IF asks and Jeff responds with a 'Yup' to her. "But why a dragon?"

"He was raising me like a father figure to me, when I was young he taught me about the world. He even taught me a special type of magic called Dragon Slayer Magic." Jeff explains to them.

"Is that why you were able to light parts of your body on fire?" IF asks and he nods confirming it. "Why would a Dragon teach you magic that can slay itself?"

"For one reason I wish to know… and the other is why he suddenly disappeared." Jeff tells them and looks down at his scarf. "This scarf is made special, and this was his gift to me… I never left without it.".

"Wow, that's really sad…" Compa says with a sad expression

"Why would he just leave his kid without telling him?" IF asks pitying him.

"Iffy! Don't be rude." Compa scolds her.

"Nah it's fine… I need some time to myself, I'll be back." Jeff tells them and walks to the door.

"If you want we could have you meet Nep-Nep and Ge-Ge!" Compa says and Jeff was curious on who she was talking about.

"Their names are Neptune and Nepgear, or as I call them Nep and Gear. They are very good friends of ours, they can understand how you'll feel." IF tells him.

"Thanks, but another time alright." Jeff tells the two girls and leaves the place closing the door behind him. "Making new friends… It is a great thing." Jeff heads out leaving the building and heads to the guild building and he accepts quests from the forest area yesterday. He heads out and sees there are some small golems, and draconian monsters strangely. "Alright time to get to work!" Jeff takes out all of the monsters having to make small craters on the ground and some on the mountains. "Nice… though where were those coming from?" Jeff looks around knowing the crystal golem like monsters reside in caves mostly, so he looks around until he finds a hole where a crystal golem came out of it and Jeff burns it down. "Why would a monster come out from the cave?" Jeff decided to look into it and jump down into the dark cave. Unknowing that later the very two girls would see the destruction he created.

He lands on the ground and looks around the cave seeing a bunch of crystals attached to the walls and floor of the cave. Jeff walks further into the cave seeing it completely full with tons of crystal golem monsters. He noticed that he was smelling people farther inside the cave and decided to see what was going on. He gets to where he could smell the group of people and see a bunch of guys in black gear that are fighters, sword & shield wielders, as well as other kinds of weapons also, even magicians with staves. What they were surrounding was a machine and it produced a bunch of monsters and even a few powerful ones also, which explains why there were so many before.

"Is that good enough for the plan?" One of them asks who seems to be the commander of the group. The guy seemed to be about Jeff's height, he has black hair with light blue ends, his eyes are an energy blue, he is slightly tan, his clothing is mostly black, silver, and Light Blue. He wears an opened vest with a shirt under it, pants with trims, and boots that could break bones. The strange thing is he has arm bands that seem to pulse with a strange energy, he also has shoulder pads that connect to the band's on the arms.

"Even if it is, the Master has told us for it to be too much for the CPUs of this nation to handle." he explains as the machine spawns another monster

"A large group of monsters to overwhelm the CPUs? Even though these are quite strong with their crystal bodies… who are they anyway, are they trying to remove the CPUs? If so then I shall destroy their plan." Jeff thought and he came out of his hiding spot and got close enough for some of the guys to notice him walking towards them.

"Hey, who the hell are you?! What do you want?!" One of them asked by getting his weapon out while Jeff only stayed silent. "Being silent huh? Fine we'll just beat you up!"

"Take him out! He found out what we are doing, we are part of the Dark Army! You will not be leaving alive!" The leader says and all of them charge at him at once as he takes his stance.

"Fire Dragon's Talon!" Jeff kicks one of the soldiers and smashes him into the cavern wall. "Might as well have some fun while I'm here!" Jeff runs in and his arms light on fire. "Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" the fire from his arms extended and he swings his arms smacking many of the soldier guys. He then goes towards the main guy and throws a punch which gets blocked and kicks Jeff a far distance. "Looks like the party has just begun!" Jeff smirks and the two charge at each other and they each throw a punch causing a stalemate, but Jeff had the upper hand. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" The force onto his punch knocked the guy into the cavern wall. However what Jeff didn't expect was the guy moving so quickly with a light blue glow around his body. With that Jeff gets kicked in the stomach and sent into the walls making a large crater.

"You seem to be a tough guy who can withstand this power I am using." The guy says as the bands on his arms are now glowing with the pulsing energy flowing through the body.

"I gotta hand it to ya, you aren't what I expected." Jeff says getting down to the ground. "Do you have a name?"

"You can call me Collin, Second-in-command of the Dark Army. Right hand to Master Rozen." He explains. "If you have been eavesdropping on our plans against those Goddesses, then you must be eliminated." He charges at Jeff again, but this time he was ready and both went for a kick which they collided causing the place to shake around them.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Jeff punches Collin straight in the face making him skid against the ground. The two fighters collide their attacks with fierce blows delivered to one another.

"This battle has gone far enough, soldiers… roast him!" Collin commands the ones in the sides and the magicians cast a bunch of fire magic attacks at Jeff thinking it would finish him off. "Let us return to our mis-" before he finished they could hear slurping sounds from the fire and see that Jeff is consuming it all up.

"Woo, that was some interesting tasting fire you guys had." Jeff says with a smirk and all of them were stunned that he wasn't even burned to dust. "You should know that a Dragon Slayer is immune to his own element."

"A what? What kind of human being are you?" Collin asks, slightly scared.

"Heh, I'm Jeffrey and I'm a Fire Dragon Slayer! Watch! Fire Dragon's… Roar!" Jeff blows a large stream of fire that causes explosions breaking the caves and also destroying the machine that generated the monsters. He sees that he knocked out the whole group unconscious. "Whoops, I think I overdid it. Although if these guys had a machine that produces monsters, it could explain the sudden mob of monsters attacking from all four nations in the news one time. I should report this to the CPU and ask what to do about it." He decided to leave the cave quickly to explain what he had found out.

Once Jeff got out of the cave his ears picked up a battle going on from within the city, having a large bad feeling about it he quickly hurries to what was going on and from the distance he is at, and thanks to his enhanced sight he could see the people were the CPU Purple Heart and her little sister Purple Sister. They were fighting a woman in a witch like outfit with a hat who he believes to be that same person from the forest yesterday. Then it turned bad as it was now the Witch forming the large ball of fire to finish them off.

"This is the end, now fall into the depths of Despair!" The witch shouts out and throws the giant fireball at the four helpless girls, however Jeff ran in and stopped the attack from reaching them causing Purple Heart to open her eyes and look up at her savior as he starts consuming the fire.

"Who… are you…" She asks weakly as Jeff fully consumed it up.

"Blech, that was gross… that has got to be the nastiest tasting flames I ever ate!" Jeff complains from the taste which also made Arfoire stunned in shock in disbelief that someone actually consumed fire like it was food.

"What the hell are you? What kind of human eats flames?" Arfoire asks in complete shock as she floats back to ground level. Jeff takes a few steps forward and faces the enemy in front of him. Yup he was now furious.

"You got some nerve to attack the CPUs of this nation. Especially ones that I consider my friends!" Jeff tells her with a look of anger as flames form around him.

"We never even met…" Purple Heart says slowly getting up on her knees still weakened from battle.

"You really took your time to get here." IF tells Jeff and the two sisters looked at her confused.

"Not the time to chat, I'll take care of this now." Jeff tells her and prepares himself to fight his opponent.

"Ha, you fight me? You'll regret ever facing the wrath of Arfoire, boy!" Arfoire warns him, but the second she finishes Jeff already right in front of her.

"Fire Dragon's Talon!" With a swift upper kick she was knocked back not expecting a move like that. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Jeff charges at her with a punch which she tries to block the attack, but the sheer force was too much and sends her grinding into the ground. She slowly stood up and the anger in her eyes could be shown she is pissed off.

"You are dead, boy! I will destroy you along with those cursed CPUs!" Arfoire yells out and generates a large sphere of dark energy, she tosses it at Jeff while he is still not phased by the attack and then readies himself.

"Dragon Slayer's Secret Art! Crimson Lotus; Exploding Flame Blade!" Jeff shouts generating a stream of fire from his hands colliding with the attack. His power destroyed the sphere and went straight at Arfoire which caused a large explosion. There wasn't any movement from the smoke, it takes a while until the smoke clears they can see Arfoire is clearly in deep shock from being beaten by an unknown person that just overpowered her.

"You are not any ordinary human being, but know this. I will be back to bring all the CPUs into despair, and you will follow with them as well!" Arfoire warns him as she disappears in a black flash of light. Jeff looked around to make sure everything was clear, he couldn't see anyone threatening around so it was clear.

"I'll be fine Compa." Purple Heart tells her who was trying to bandage her up.

"No, I must treat that wound on you. So let me do my job Nep-Nep!" Compa tells her, the CPU just sighed and looked at Jeff.

"I must thank you for saving us just now, if you never came by… the four of us would probably be done for." Purple Heart says gratefully.

"I'm glad I got here in time, who knows what would have happened if I wasn't here." Jeff tells her with a smile.

"You were really strong there, I have to admit. What was that you just displayed?" Purple Sister asks him

"It's an ancient Magic lost through the ages, it is called Dragon Slayer Magic." Histoire flew to them getting their attention and surprised everyone.

"Histy? You know about his power?" Compa asks her

"Of course I do Compa, I record history so I know about Dragon Slayer Magic. There are different kinds of elements as well, his being Fire is only just one of them." Histoire explains and everyone was surprised to hear that.

"Wait, so Jeff is not the only Dragon Slayer user in Gamindustri?" IF asks the fairy.

"Correct, I am to believe there are two others somewhere. I can't be exactly sure on their exact locations, but I do know there are three Dragon Slayers that are to be together one day. Jeff being the first." Histoire tells them.

"Igniaus did tell me there were two others being taught by dragons… he didn't specifically tell me who they were." Jeff tells them.

"You were taught by an actual Dragon?!" Purple Sister asks and he nods. "Is that really possible?"

"Dragon Slayer magic actually came from the dragons, at first there were two different sides. One side wanted to bring peace between them and human kind, the other side wanted to control the land." Histoire explains to them. "However, I'd like to ask if you would stay in the Basilicom."

"Huh? You want me to stay inside the basilicom where the CPU stays in? This seems like an odd request you are giving me." Jeff says surprised at the request.

"Yeah Histoire, I gave him a place in Compa's house." IF tells her.

"It's fine Iffy, if he stays in the basilicom he can get to know Nep-Nep and Ge-Ge more." Compa says happily and IF couldn't deny that he could know the two sisters more staying in the basilicom and they did want him to meet the two as well, but it wasn't exactly how they planned for him meeting the sisters. "He also saved them from that mean witch."

"I guess yea, is that alright with you Nep?" IF asks the CPU who looked at Jeff curiously as he stands there for a moment until he realizes she said a different name other than Purple Heart.

"You are friends with the CPU? Now that I wasn't expecting." Jeff says surprised at the two girls being friends with the CPUs of Planeptune. "So who is this one?" he looks at Purple Sister knowing he was told only one CPU was ruling a nation each.

"Nepgear is my little sister." Purple Heart tells him, he looks at her and Purple Sister and he can slightly see the resemblance until the two shined and returned to normal. "Whew, being in that form can be very tiring."

"I can provide a room for you, so if there is anything you have at Compa's place you should grab and once you get into the basilicom take the elevator to the top floor of the tower. I will let the staff know you are staying." Histoire tells him.

"Alright then…" Jeff says unsure about being in a place with someone such as the CPU and her sister where he just learned about now. "Me, living at the Basilicom with the CPU and her sister it seems. Igniaus, I'm doing as I promised… I did want to help the CPUs with problems, but I feel like there is more than what I will expect." Jeff goes to Compa's place to grab his stuff and head to the basilicom.

Arfoire has returned, and with a strange new power at her disposal. She returns with the very goal she always has, eliminating the CPUs! However there are questions that are left unanswered. How is she back? And who is Rozen? Find out next time!
