Arc 1 Age of the Dark Omen, Chapter 2; Powers Unleashed, Warriors Arise!
-The Next Day-
After the battle against the witch Arfoire, everything was back to normal. However they know that Arfoire is still out there seeking revenge for her loss against a Dragon Slayer. Histoire has then invited him to stay at the basilicom which seemed like an odd request, but he accepts the invitation and is given a room of his own, despite it being slightly girly colors like at Compa's he slept in the bed. Although things were gonna be different anyway.
As Jeff seemed to be asleep in his new room, someone silently opened the door and slowly walked up to the bed. As they were about to make a move to wake him up.
"Don't even think about it Neptune." Jeff says with his eyes still closed startling the said person.
"Aw come on, you are no fun. What's the point in having a new person staying at the Basilicom?" Neptune asks him since he knew who it was by the scent from her.
"Your Oracle is kind enough to allow me to stay here." Jeff says to her as he sits up. "But that doesn't mean you can walk into my room and wake me up."
"Blah, that's boring. Besides, how about we start with some good games today?" Neptune asks with a smile while Jeff just stares at her.
"No." Jeff bluntly says getting off the bed, getting his clothes on since he slept in his trousers and has his scarf around his neck. "Besides, aren't you a CPU, you should be doing work for your nation like a CPU should be doing."
"Work? No thanks, nothing is more boring than work. Playing games is the best part, especially with friends!" Neptune tries to convince him to play some games, although it isn't working since his kind of fun is fighting.
"Play with your sister, that's someone you have." Jeff tells her as she whines in disappointment. "Now I understand who IF was talking about being lazy, and not wanting to do her job." Jeff walks out of his room and heads into the living room as Neptune follows behind him.
"Good morning Jeff, I presume you have slept well?" Histoire asks him as he enters the living room.
"Yea, although this one tried to wake me up." Jeff points at Neptune and Histoire only sighed. "So I am sure there is some reason you asked me to live in the basilicom."
"In a way yes. First, I believe we should have something to eat before I start explaining." Histoire tells him and they go into the kitchen seeing Nepgear doing the cooking.
-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 and the title forms from the lights in the sky.)
Oh yeah Can you hear the voice that's calling you yet
(On top of a building of Lastation, James stares at the basilicom and then 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 just finished taking out a monster and looks up at the sky.)
Oh yeah Oh yeah
(On a hill Jeff sees the whole land of Planeptune then turning around 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 and ending with all five on Planeptower balcony.)
End of Song
Lastation; Basilicom
Inside the Basilicom Noire was in a room interrogating the scientist who is named Cassandra. Who in turn is explaining about her project of the Saints Serum.
"So let me get this right. You say you had a few teenagers volunteer in a project you have been working on 7 years ago? Am I correct?" Noire asks her.
"That is correct Lady Noire, the 7 candidates that were testing out a serum that relates to these powers in a simulation we created. At one point it seemed like they did incredibly well." Cassandra explains, but the whole time she had a look of disappointment. "However, when we got to the part on implanting the serum into the 7… the machine went out of control and caused an explosion."
"Were you using them for your own deeds?" Noire asks her with a stern tone.
"With all honesty my Lady, I meant to create powerful soldiers in your steed. I noticed the increase of monsters outside the nations, so I couldn't sit and watch this land being overtaken." Cassandra tells her, and Noire couldn't argue with that logic since there has been an increasing amount in the dungeons than before.
"You do have a point, there has been an insanely large increase through the past year before." Noire admits to the scientist. "However, it's nothing me and my sister can't handle at all."
"Yes, I understand. Although, everyone has their limits in fighting you know that." Cassandra says and Noire wanted to argue, but deep down it is true that it can be overwhelming at times
"Fine you win, but I am guessing none of them have gotten the powers in the serum." Noire says thinking the test failed at the start.
"Actually, there was one that did obtain these powers." Cassandra tells her and this got Noire curious. "It was our first success… however the second… is when the explosion happened. He also took a unique Sword that one of my comrades had worked on."
"Who is this person?" Noire asks and Cassandra pulls out a file from her bag of the person that did gain the powers. Noire takes it and opens it up to see who it is. "James…?" The scientist nodded confirming that this person has the Saints Serum powers.
-Outside on the streets of Lastation-
James was sitting in the alleyway thinking about the incident 7 years ago. He sighed, stood up and started walking, people think that he was a poor person with little credits. But deep down his depression has never left him from that one day. He goes to the mountain dungeon area to be able to take some monsters around the area. Some of them were only pushovers as he used the large buster sword to slice and take out any monsters that were in the way.
"I always had hoped to be able for us to see beautiful sights together, but now that it has come to this… I can't shake off my nerves." He says to himself thinking about his dear friend "Why did it have to happen?"
Back at the streets of Lastation, the two sisters were walking together while Noire was thinking about what Cassandra told them. The guy named James, who has this Saints Serum liquid in his body that gives him super powers with different abilities.
"Noire, do you really believe what she told us is true? About this guy being able to use super powers?" Uni asks her big sister
"I can't be completely sure about the story of these super powers… however if this guy really can be of great help like she said. We will bring him to the Basilicom as an offer, we can't use force on him." Noire explains to Uni who nods in agreement. The two sisters start looking around the areas of place to find this James person. Unknowingly being spied on from a flying device behind them.
"Oh my dear lovely Noire, once I have studied every single ability on you and your sister. You will be unable to win, and you will be so lovely when I have you by my side." A voice says inside an abandoned factory watching the two sisters.
"Just don't forget the deal we have made." A Mysterious voice says from one monitor
"Of course, once I have completed my objective I will give you what you want." The first one tells them keeping his sights on the Lastation sisters as they are fighting against a small group of monsters.
While on the mountain the two sisters looked around, but sadly they could not find the person in question.
"I feel like this is all just a wild goose chase…" Uni tells her big sister and Noire sighs in disappointment
"Yea, you might be right… come on Uni, let's go back and-" Before Noire could finish what she was saying, a giant machine landed next to them and grabbed Noire making her scream and it knocked Uni back away. "Uni!"
"Noire! Let go of my sister!" Uni aims her rifle and fires, but it bounced off like it was built to nullify her shots. "Dammit, I won't lose my sister again!" The machine swings one of its arms trying to crush her, though she changes to Black Sister and fires at spots on the machine. She dodges a swipe from the large enemy as it starts moving away from her. "Hey where are you going with my sister!"
"Ugh what is happening? Why can't I transform and get out of this?!" Noire asks as she struggles out the machine's grip. She looks up to see a monitor turn on from on the machine and showed a familiar someone.
"Well my dear Noire it is because this new machine is made to nullify your ability to transform." Anonydeath tells her through the monitor.
"You! What do you want this time?!" Noire asks annoyed while Uni is trying to find a way to stop the machine.
"Why you of course, having your special images of your amazing hobby is precious. But what's even better is to have the real deal in front of my own eyes!" He says with his enthusiasm rising. "I made special plans for you, and I expect great things from you!"
"When I get out of this I am so going to knock you down to the ground!" Noire says angry at him still struggling.
"Oh you are just so cute when you struggle. Well I have to do something, I am expecting your arrival so see ya!" Anonydeath says and the monitor turns off as the machine continues moving. Noire gets an open view of Black Sister getting smashed against the mountain from an Ancient Dragon.
"Uni! Damn, if only I could get out of this!" Noire continues struggling out of the arm of the machine slowly feeling weaker. "This thing is zapping my strength away, I'm gonna faint if I don't…" All of a sudden, she felt the arm being cold which part of the machine suddenly got frozen, she looked where it came from. She looked above to see someone holding a large sword and sliced the frozen part off, freeing her from the grip. "Ow… at least I'm getting my strength back."
"I got this, go check on your sister." The mysterious male in front of her tells her as he readies himself. Noire looked and saw the Ancient dragon completely frozen while Black Sister was slowly standing back up. She looked back at where the guy was before when she suddenly saw him now battling the machine that captured her. She sees a light green aura around him and a large boulder having the same aura floating then thrown at the machine knocking it back right into the frozen Ancient Dragon and shattering it completely.
"You're the…" Noire says completely amazed at what he did just now, but she had her worries on Black Sister first and rushed over to her quickly. "Uni are you ok?"
"Just bruised, that's all." Black Sister says and looks at the mysterious male fighting the machine by jumping high, then charges down smashing against it into the mountain with his powers. "Is that actually…" Noire nods believing that is who they have been searching for.
"You're finished!" the male shouted as he dove down and sliced through the machine and which caused it to explode. "Never hurt girls like them." Once the machine was destroyed he walked over to the two sisters picking up and giving Noire her weapon back. "Glad you both are ok…" he then starts walking away, but is stopped when Noire grabs his arm.
"Wait, are you James? That was part of the Saints Serum Project?" Noire asks him. He was silent for a while then spoke up.
"I don't want to remember any of that, it was a horrible moment that day… just leave me be…" He tells her and she could tell there was something he was hiding.
"No wait, I only want to bring you to the Basilicom… and… stay with me- I mean us!" Noire says slightly blushing and James turns his head to her and she can barely see his face being covered by the hood.
"I appreciate the offer… but I can't… I don't want you to be in danger around me…" he tells her.
"Look here." She gets an angry expression and pulls his hood off getting a look at his raven black hair and crimson red eyes. "That scientist only gave you those powers to help us rid the overgrowing monster population, I hate admitting that me and the other CPUs would get overwhelmed… but if you can help I am bringing you to the Basilicom whether you want to or not." After she said that a ringing sound was coming from her pocket which is from her phone that she and the other CPUs have incase of emergencies from their nations. "Hello? This is Noire." She says and listens to the caller while James and Uni just stood there looking at her talk. "... I see, we'll be right over." she hangs up the call. "That was Histoire, apparently she has something really important to tell us."
"What did she tell you?" Uni asks her sister
"Histoire said that she has something important to tell us, she is also wanting us at Planeptune." Noire explains and turns to James. "I want you to come along also, I am not going to give up on bringing you to the Basilicom." James groans that he didn't want to be around someone important to the lands, however he just sighed and let them take him along to Planeptune.
However what they didn't notice was that someone in a mixture of a dark violet and light purple coat was watching them from a far distance. The mysterious person removed the hood showing their face to be a young woman with long purple hair in with a side tail on her left side, and has purple eyes. She watches as the CPU Black Heart carries James towards Planeptune.
"I told you, as what you have seen now is now what has become." A dark female voice echoed into her thoughts, while she continued watching the trio flying towards Planeptune. "He has abandoned you and is now accompanying the CPU instead!"
"... I have seen what you have said." The purple haired girl says as she goes into a portal of darkness and vanishes.
Planeptune; Out in the streets
Histoire has said Noire and Uni are on their way so it may take some time for them to arrive. In the meantime Jeff is walking to the Guild selecting some quests, it seems like the machine he destroyed in the cave has decreased the amount of monsters. Of course there were fewer quests than before, he also explained to Histoire about what he found in the cave before.
"Look I get that Histiore is upset that you do nothing but sit around playing games. But that doesn't mean you get to follow me." Jeff says with Neptune behind him.
"Histy said that I should get to know you more, not sure why she wants me to do so." She tells him.
"Maybe she wants you to be more strict with your job as a CPU." Jeff assumed as he walked to the place where the cave is at.
"Why is she so worried, I mean no matter what happens we can take care of any situation!" She says with a carefree attitude.
"Oh sure, after you almost got taken out by that witch, Arfoire was it?" Jeff said remembering what happened as he arrived at the scene.
"Well she had cheat powers! And her appearances have been annoying because everywhere me and Nep Jr. go she appears!" Neptune explains.
"So she has attacked more than once huh? Well she seems tough, but it's no problem for me." Jeff says as they get to the cave. "What I am more worried about is that monster invasion that those guys I saw in this cave before. If another big wave of them suddenly appeared and if you are unprepared then you will most likely leave you vulnerable."
"Ha! Like you know anything! I'm the main character, so there is no way I can be beaten!" Neptune says cheerfully. Though Jeff looked at her with an awkward expression.
"You are so weird." He replied as he punched a monster causing it to disappear. They continue forward while Jeff is easily disposing of the monsters as Neptune could see he was on a different level of strength than she expected him to be. "You are just watching me doing all of this."
"Well yea, anyone would be surprised at the power you use. Histy said you were taught by an actual dragon?" Neptune said.
"Yes, I was. Now I am just doing the things you should be doing here." He tells her as he smashes a crystal golem to pieces. "I should see the stuff of the machine as Histoire asked for." As the two continue as to where Jeff saw the machine, he could get a scent deeper and hide by a wall to see just one guy in the same uniform as the ones before. Neptune wondered why he was hiding but he pulled her before she could get seen.
"It's as the guys said Sir, the machine is completely destroyed and burnt. What will we do if we are unable to tire down the Planeptune CPU?" He asks through a communication device. "If our plan is found out then the other CPUs will soon find out about this!"
"Even if they do find out it'll be too late anyway, execute the attack now. Three out of four will be no problem anyway." A man's voice spoke through with Jeff's excellent hearing.
"Sir! We got signals showing Lastation's CPUs are advancing towards Planeptune, and Leanbox's CPU heading towards Lowee." A soldier from the other side spoke up. "It's possible that the CPUs may plan to tag together and make a larger army."
"Should we change our plans then?" The soldier in the cave asked.
"No, have the monsters rampage in the cities. If the CPUs leave then it won't matter." The man tells them.
"They'll send another wave monster to the other nations?" Jeff assumed with his hearing.
"So this guy was the cause of all the sudden monster invasions? At first I thought it was Arbore doing all of it." Neptune assumed, as she knows some things Arfoire has done to eliminate the CPUs.
"I dealt with this one, but the other nations are in trouble!" Jeff grabs Neptune holding her in one arm and he quickly gets them out of the cave.
At the moment at the Planeptune Basilicom, the Lastation CPUs arrived along with the very person that didn't want to go with them but gave up.
"We're here Histoire, what is it you want to tell us?" Noire asks where they are on the balcony of the Basilicom tower.
"I'd like to explain this to all the CPUs, however it seems both Blanc and Vert are going to discuss the events of the sudden monster attacks on their nations." She explains to the Lastation CPU and looks at James who has the hood over his head. "Is this young man a friend of yours Noire?"
"W-what?! N-no I just… well to explain everything, a scientist from my land was trying to create Super Soldiers with unique powers that would help me and Uni from the very events that have happened." She explains to the Oracle.
"I see, well as a matter of fact I have also found someone with unique powers that could assist everyone in this situation." Histoire says which made Noire curious who she found. At that moment the Elevator dinged from inside which Histoire went over to see Neptune come out of it, however Jeff looked a bit sick. "Goodness, did the elevator give you motion sickness?"
"Apparently, once he got on and it moved he fell like this." Neptune explained pitting Jeff having motion sickness.
"I guess I should have thought about this a bit, but we had no choice when building the Tower." Histoire said as Nepgear walked into the living room seeing Jeff in his terrible condition.
"Is he alright?" She asked.
"He apparently has a worse case of Motion Sickness Nep Jr." Neptune tells her little sister as the three enter. "Whoa, Noire you're here?"
"Histoire called me over for something." She explained as she looked at Jeff recovering from his motion sickness. "Is this the person you mentioned, Histoire?"
"Yes, this is him. However I wasn't expecting him to have motion sickness." Histoire replied which Noire sighed. However Jeff took a look at the guy behind her and saw what he was wearing, it was similar to some of the guys from before. By instinct he got up and punched James out from the balcony going down to the ground. The sudden action surprised everyone as Jeff followed James as he landed on his feet and looked up seeing Jeff coming down towards him with a punch. James jumps out of the way as Jeff punches the road breaking it with a heavy strike.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" James asked him, surprised at the sudden attack. Jeff stood up and threw a kick at him, James rolled on the ground until he flipped himself on his feet. "Dude, what is your problem?!"
"Where is your Master?!" Jeff demanded.
"Excuse me?" James asks with a confused expression.
"You Dark Army guys were planning to tire out the CPUs and wipe them out! I'm not gonna let that happen!" Jeff shouted as he charged at James who pulled out his large sword and blocked Jeff's punch which knocked him back. "I'm gonna take down you army guys and your Master!"
"Why would you assume I work for anyone?" James looked down noticing he was pushed a good distance after blocking Jeff's punch. "What the hell?! He only threw a punch and he pushed me this much?! How strong is this guy?!"
"It's because of that clothing you have on!" Jeff said to James as he goes for an Iron Fist. "I saw some of your pals in that same garb!"
"This? I just swiped it off some random guy wandering in Lastation!" James told him as he blocked it while holding his ground. James launches a fire blast at Jeff, though Jeff consumes it swallowing it up. "What the?"
"Woo! That was some spicy fire you got there! But I got a Fire in my belly now!" He says with a smirk and takes a deep breath. "Fire Dragon's… Roar!" He blows a stream of fire at him, once it makes contact a powerful explosion is made. Deep within the smoke James' outfit is torn, ripped, and burned from Jeff's attack. With the sword he swiped the smoke away revealing his hair and eyes. "You're tough, I'll give you that! But when you are fighting a Fire Dragon Slayer, you are done for!"
"Dragon Slayer? I'm already surprised that someone like you has such power, however I got one one myself! Lightning Buff!" James was suddenly surrounded with electricity, and in a split second he was in front of Jeff which surprised him, and then he struck him with a 15-hit combo, with the last one attacking him towards the ground creating a small crater. "Still think you can take me on?"
"Alright, now you got me fired up! This should really be fun!" Jeff says lighting his hands on fire ready for more. The two charge at one another about to attack.
"STOP THIS INSTANT!" Histoire yelled at the duo which they did at her sudden shout. "Both of you are acting so immature right in front of the CPUs of Planeptune and Lastation! And Jeff I can assure you that this young man is not part of the army that you spoke of!" He looked at her with a confused look.
"I said before I found this from a random guy who was wandering around Lastation who was aggressive to some civilians." James answered, which Jeff looked at him seeing his expression is neutral. "And thanks to you burning it I'll need a better outfit!" Jeff then notices a purple ribbon on James' left arm tied together, which seemed out of color for someone living in Lastation.
"I can make something if you want, not that I care or such." Noire says being tsundere about it.
"You know Noire, that part of you is why you would never get any friends!" Neptune tells her and gets slapped by Noire. "Ouchies!"
"You and that mouth of yours Neptune! Why do you spout nonsense like that?!" She yells at Neptune, angry from her comment. The two guys look at each other, thinking about how the two CPUs are acting.
"This is what they are like?" They thought to themselves. Then Jeff quickly remembered what was happening.
"Wait this isn't the time for that! I gotta move now!" Jeff says starting to run forward towards Lastation.
"Oh! Histy, Jeffy learned that some guys are gonna have a monster assault happening in other nations!" Neptune quickly explained..
"WHAT?!" Noire and Uni shouted after hearing that.
"Another assault?! The worst timing to be away from our Nation!" Noire shouted.
"If it is as Jeff has explained, then I should probably explain something to everyone. But first getting rid of the monsters is the top priority! Neptune, Nepgear, I want you both to go to Lastation. Jeff has said he destroyed a machine that produced the monsters here in Planeptune, there has to be other ones somewhere in the three nations." Histoire tells them. "If those machines continue to produce monsters then shares will most likely drop to zip!"
"I don't see the point in all of it anyway, I mean why send in monsters at all?" Neptune asks, confused why this would be her problem.
"There could be a connection to all of this. Especially that guy who has a stash of my hobbies in his files." Noire thought to herself about the machine Anonydeath created to counter the CPUs, and he said that he was bringing Noire to him. However James interrupted it and rescued both Noire and Uni before that happened. "Stay here if you want Neptune, but I'm not gonna let my nation be attacked by a monster invasion!"
"I can get you both there in a quick flash if you want me to." James suggested to the Lastation Sisters.
"Yeah, no thanks we can fly over there." Noire denied his request.
"Alright, suit yourselves." He tells them and he starts running, not normally but super sonic fast! That sudden speed surprised everyone.
"Whoa! I didn't expect him to run that fast! His running out speeds our flying!" Uni said watching James leaving them. "I guess that's another one of his powers."
"I guess so huh…" Noire says as she transforms into Black Heart. "Come on Uni, we better hurry back to our Nation!" The two sisters fly back towards Lastation in a hurry.
Lowee; Inside the Basilicom
At the Lowee Basilicom, Alex was brought to the main room by Blanc as they were waiting for Leanbox's CPU to arrive. The front doors opened to reveal Vert, but she wasn't alone.
"Long time no see Blanc! It has been quite a while!" Vert says as she and Isaac walk into the room. "Oh? And who is this fine young man?" She looks at Alex who has his hood over him.
"Just someone I found. Now how about you? Who is he?" Blanc asks.
"Oh him? Why he's my personal Knight of course! I have been waiting to select someone with great skills!" She explained.
"You sure you aren't having him around just to attract a guy with those bazonkers of yours?" Blanc asks with an extremely pissed off expression.
"Whatever do you mean Blanc?" Vert asks in an innocent tone. This made Blanc even more mad.
"Damn you Thunder Tits!" She shouted as Alex snorted from what she called Vert, while Isaac was doing his best trying to hold in his laugh.
"My goodness Blanc, no need to be so violent about it." Vert says to her. "Now then shall we get back to discussing the matters of the monster invasion events?"
"Fine, let's quickly get this over with." Blanc agrees for now while she is still pissed at Vert. However, a phone rings from Blanc's pocket, she picks it up and answers. "Hello?"
"Blanc! This is urgent! Is Vert there yet?!" Histoire asks from the other end.
"She is, I'll put it on speaker." Blanc says and sets the call on Speaker for everyone to hear. "Ok we can all hear you now Histoire."
"Why are you calling?" Vert asks.
"This is a major crisis! Your nations are gonna be attacked by another Monster invasion!" She warns them which surprised them.
"AGAIN?!" Blanc shouted after hearing that.
"How can you be sure it is happening again?!" Vert asks and the two guys do wonder that also.
"Blanc! There is another group of monsters in the city again!" Ram ran into the room to warn her sister.
"Dammit, this the worst timing ever! I can't let an army of monsters ruin this land!" Blanc says and transforms into White Heart. "Rom, Ram, let's go!" Her sisters also transform.
"Right!" The two say at the same time and follow White Heart outside the Basilicom.
"I shall help, I can only hope the staff at Leanbox are able to handle the problem!" Vert says transforming into Green Heart.
"Her outfit in her other form is a lot more exposed than White Heart's." Isaac thought to himself as he drew his sword and ran out the door. Alex activates his duel disk exits the Basilicom.
"Lady Blanc gave me a place to stay, so I'll do my part also!" He says as he slots his deck into his duel disk and pulls a card out. "I call forth, Breaker the Magical Warrior!" Alex summons a Spellcaster with a sword and Shield. This warrior also has a strange bar with a green line and three green squares under it. "Let's fight off these monsters! We can't let them destroy this nation!" His Spellcaster charges forth at the army of monsters, and swings the sword slashing multiple monsters. The two CPUs took out a few monsters then took a look at both how Alex and Isaac were fighting extremely well. Isaac bashes one monster using his shield and does a spin attack attacking the monsters that were surrounding him, and stabbed another one.
"How interesting, that "Knight" of yours is actually not bad wielding a sword and really skilled." White Heart says seeing him in action as Alex summons a Warrior to the battle.
"His skills are remarkable, but that young boy you have has quite an interesting ability." Green Heart says seeing Alex summoning Duel Monsters and using spell cards.
"It was something that happened a couple of years ago that allowed him to summon those on his cards to life." White Heart explains going back to the fight at hand. As they continued to take out the monsters causing a mess in Lowee, back in Leanbox a mysterious person was using a strange power that makes iron from the body and crushing enemies in their path.
Lastation; the City Streets
In the streets of Lastation Jeff had taken out a good amount of the monsters until James quickly arrived not too soon. Jeff unleashes his Wing Attack which lets out streams of fire and smacks a bunch of enemies out of the way.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Jeff blows a stream of fire burning a row of monsters to dust. As James uses his large sword to slice up the monsters around him, but he does glimpse of what Jeff does.
"That guy has some interesting power. He called himself a Dragon Slayer, can he really do such a thing?" James mutters to himself as he continues to fight off the monsters while in the skies the 4 CPUs of Planeptune and Lastation are getting close to their destination. As Jeff and James have taken out most of the large amounts while only a few are still around, Jeff tries to sniff the air around them.
"Argh, I can't tell where these monsters are coming from! All the factory smells are getting in the way!" Jeff says annoyed as he smashes his fist into a dragonoid monster.
"You said before the outfit I wore is from some guys you encountered before." James spoke up.
"Yea, and they have some monster creating machines somewhere in each of the nations!" Jeff explained.
"Hmm, I think I might have seen some guys walking outside the nation before. This direction!" James tells him as he starts running and Jeff follows by blasting fire from his feet like a rocket. The two arrive at what looks to be a storage building that looks to be abandoned but some machine monsters came out of the storage. "I saw a group of guys most likely the same ones you might have met, they came here about a few weeks ago."
"Then we better destroy the Machine here and then get to Lowee, if these Dark Army guys plan to tire out the goddesses!" Jeff tells him as James freezes a machine and Jeff smashes it to pieces. The two entered the storage building and now that they were inside Jeff started to get smells further inside the place. "Now I'm getting something here!"
"Alright, let's hurry and deal with them!" James says as he destroys another machine monster that charged at them. The two fighters charge forth destroying all the machines getting in their way until they get to a large area filled with machines.
"Come on we need to produce twice as many for Master Rozen's Plan to move forward! He is frustrated over the Planeptune's machine destroyed by some guy!" An Adult Male says to a group of soldiers working on creating the machines they saw before. The man is in black soldier gear and have an R with part of it curved, the man has dark blonde hair, with red Crimson eyes
"Rozen… I heard that name from the guys back in Planeptune." Jeff says quietly to James.
"If so then we can probably get them to tell us where their Leader is." James says as he leaps off the stairway, landing in the rows of machines which suddenly float in the air. This made Jeff curious of James' powers remembering what he did before but this one was different. However he needs to get this to stop producing enemies in the nations. James slashed multiple machines destroying them. "Your production ends here!" After his shout the soldiers turn to see him.
"Who are you? How did you find this place?!" The Man asks him. "Wait a minute… are you…" Before he could ask, Jeff burned most of the machines.
"Like he said your production ends here! We're gonna shut this down before you Dark Army guys can eliminate the CPUs!" Jeff tells him ready for a fight.
"So it's you… You are the one that destroyed the monster production machine that we have been setting for years!" The Man says seeing Jeff. "The fire user who defeated the Second-in-Command! However he was only testing your power, he wasn't going all out!"
"Is that so? Well you can tell him I'm always awaiting a good challenge!" Jeff says smirking and cracking his knuckles.
"You would be an idiot to challenge him or Master Rozen! However that won't happen when I am finished with you!" The man says as he pulls out a large two handed sword. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Vexen! One of the Commanders of the Dark Army!"
"Excuse me?" James muttered thinking he knows that name from somewhere. However his thoughts were interrupted as Vexen charged at them and clashed blades with James as Jeff jumped away. One soldier put in the order to attack him which he was distracted by the machines as James clashed blades against Vexen. "I'm gonna take you guys down!"
"I'd like to see you try to, as the Dark Army will rule and conquer this world!" He says as they clash again while James is struggling since he knows that using his powers tires him out. "You aren't looking so good, are you feeling helpless as your powers devour your strength?"
"Screw you! I can beat you without using my abilities!" James declares as he tries to push further to knock Vexen off balance and strikes him. "It's been years, but I can manage my strength against you!" However a machine was tossed past them. Jeff was literally fired up as he got annoyed with the many machines.
"Alright I'm tired of all this scrap! I'm burning this whole place!" Jeff announces as he jumps and punches another machine crushing it.
"Inhuman strength, men cause those machines to self-destruct on that guy!" Vexen ordered, the soldiers used a device to make a bunch of the machines to gather and explode next to Jeff. "Too bad, looks like that partner of yours won't be surviving." However a slurping sound was echoing and they could see Jeff consuming the fire from the multiple explosions.
"Oh yeah! That definitely hits the spot! I got a Fire in my belly!" Jeff says with a wide smirk.
"What the hell?! So he wasn't kidding about the fire being eaten?!" Vexen says in shock.
"Time to show you the power of a Dragon Slayer! Flames on the left, and flames on the right. Put them together… Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" Jeff says spheres of fire surround his hands, then put both hands together creating a larger sphere of fire. When James saw what Jeff was doing he quickly created an opening getting out of the place before Jeff tossed it and caused a massive explosion in the whole storage.
Outside in the city streets both Lastation and Planeptune CPU pairs cleared the monsters outside until they heard the explosion caused by Jeff in the distance.
"Who just blew up one of the unused storage buildings?!" Black Heart asked, looking pissed off.
"Maybe that is where the two boys are at." Purple Heart assumed. "Could they have found the machine producing the monsters for Lastation?"
"Histoire said there is one in each Nation as Jeff told her from some Army guys." Purple Sister reminds them.
"Nepgear's right, so that only leaves Lowee and Leanbox yea?" Black Sister asked in which the other three nod in agreement. "Should we go check on the guys then move to Lowee?"
"I'm pretty certain James can take care of himself, however that other boy is questionable." Black Heart says.
"Histy mentioned that Jeff is a Dragon Slayer, a special Lost Magic in old times. He is quite unique in a way." Purple Heart explained, as she was still wondering how a guy like him got such an interesting magic power.
"So his magic slays dragons? I guess you might be right about the "Unique" part Neptune." Black Heart said. "First we should make sure if Blanc and Vert are doing fine, they may be strong. However we all have our limits as much as I hate to admit it."
"You are not wrong there, if people saw all of us being attacked multiple times. We may lose all our shares." Black Sister said a bit worried.
"Well, it is kinda sad that Gold Third is away, as well as Uzume and Big Neptune." Purple Sister says with a sad expression as they make way to Lowee.
"Uzume did want to see the Dimension where the Big Me came from, think of it as like a trip for them to enjoy themselves." Purple Heart tells her sister. However in Ultradimension something large was going on that would be a disaster. But that is gonna be said for a later time everyone!
Lowee; Town streets
Back in Lowee the Two CPUs, Candidates, and young males were still taking out the monsters that were still continuing to appear. It was already starting to tire them all out now, plus Alex has his favorite spellcaster out on the battlefield.
"Augh! Dammit, where do these monsters keep coming from?!" White Heart asks, getting very pissed off. "It's like there is an endless supply of them!"
"That might be the case. However we can't leave the town defenseless!" Green Heart tells her as she stabs another with her spear. However Isaac had noticed monsters coming from the forest which seemed odd. So he decided to investigate.
"Where are you going?" Alex asks him.
"I'm gonna investigate something about the massive amount of monsters spawning." He replies and heads towards the forest. Alex was unsure how the limitless amount of monsters would come from the forest, but he decided to follow incase if something big comes up and needed assistance if he gets into some trouble.
The two boys head into the forest and notice the monsters coming further, they notice a large number of guys surrounding a machine that is producing more and more monsters at a quick pace.
"Come on men! We need to produce twice as much to take out those Goddesses, the points from Planeptune and Lastation have been destroyed! The Boss is already upset with them destroyed by some mysterious guys!" One Guy tells the group of soldiers.
"We are working as fast as we are Captain! But the production energy is getting low now!" One Soldier replied. "These take a lot of energy to even produce powerful monsters!"
"Which is also gonna stop when we destroy it!" Isaac announced suddenly. "Whatever you guys are planning, it stops now!"
"Dammit! How did they find us?!" A soldier asks.
"Monsters coming from a forest nonstop! Only some idiots would not notice this strange occurance!" Alex says reading himself for his next move.
"Captain! That guy in green must be from Leanbox!" One soldier points at Isaac of his green shirt. "They should be eliminated right?!"
"That is what our Second Objective is you idiot! Master Rozen specifically told us to eliminate any witnesses! Men kill them!" The Captain ordered his troops as they charged at the two.
"Dark Magician Merge!" Alex shouted and he combined with his spellcaster, he casted magic knocking the soldiers down.
"What in the?! He combined with that Wizard?! What power is that?!" A soldier asks in shock.
"Keep your eyes on me!" Isaac shouted and shot a bomb arrow blasting a few soldiers down. Isaac charged forth and clashed blades with other soldiers as Alex dealt with another group of soldiers.
"Dark Magic Attack!" He unleashes his attack again as Isaac shoots another Bomb Arrow. "Now watch this, I activate Polymerization! Fusing Dark Magician with Buster Blader, to create… Dark Paladin!" Alex's Magician was released from his body and flies upward with a Warrior into a vortex, it then flashes and reveals a new Spellcaster. "Now I activate Diffusion Wave-Motion!" His new Spellcaster raises his staff and unleashes magical waves attacking all the soldiers as well as destroying the machine.
"NO! Master Rozen is going to be upset with the plan going down the ground!" The Captain shouts now worried as Isaac and Alex get near him.
"Alright time to talk, what was the reason for setting up these machines!" Isaac demands as he holds a Shock Arrow aimed at him. "You better give us some info!"
"Ok, geez! We were only ordered to set these up! We don't know why, we were only told to tire out the 4 Goddesses of the Nations, that's all!" He tells them. Then Alex noticed a paper slip in a pocket and grabbed it. "NO!" Before he could grab it, Alex's Spellcaster held the staff at the face stopping him.
"Soul of Ice hidden at this location: Island off to the far West." He reads the note. "Soul of Ice?"
"I'm done talking! You aren't getting anything else out of me!" He pulled out a smoke bomb giving him a chance to escape them while Isaac tried to hit with his Arrow to only miss.
"Dammit, looks like he got away before we could ask about anything else." Isaac said, a little annoyed. "So what do we do next?"
"Let's show this to the CPUs, they might know something. Plus, I wonder who this "Master Rozen" guy is…" Alex says wondering what will happen.
The Nations were once again attacked by another mob of monsters, but thanks to the efforts of Jeff, James, Alex, and Isaac 3 of the 4 Nations are safe from any more monster mobs. But what about Leanbox? Is it cleared off monsters also? And why are these Dark Army guys going after the CPUs? Plus what is the Soul of Ice? All the Answers and more Next Time!
