Chapter 10: Real Power

A/N: To answer some questions that have been asked. Goku, Vegeta, and the other Z-fighters passed away from age. The time dilation is supposed to be 60 years and the teenagers learned the Z-fighters attacks in between one of the years in the 60 year time span and can be transported to the Otherworld via transport by whis or Instant Transmission for training during that time gap. I also apologize about the fight scenes being confusing, like I said before, this is my first fanfiction so do expect this story to have mistakes. Also I've been busy and lazy lately, so sorry for the wait. Anyways, enjoy the story.

-Back in Universe 7 / Beerus's Planet-

"Are you certain that you haven't found them yet, Supreme Kai." Whis said, look through his staff. Supreme Kai shook his head.

"I'm terribly sorry Whis, Elder Kai and I have checked everywhere and have found no sign of them at all. I had Kibito search every corner in our galaxy and neighboring ones and he unfortunately hasn't found anything either." Whis sighs.

"Do keep me posted once you find anything about their whereabouts." The Supreme Kai nods and the transmission ends.

"Any luck, Whis?" Beerus asked, looking at the lake on his planet, while sitting on a stomp of one of the dead trees.

"Afraid not my Lord, I have spoken with the Kai's and they haven't found any trace of them." Beerus sucked his teeth in annoyance.

"THIS IS SO ANNOYING!!!!" Beerus's destructive aura bursts out and causes the moons and the entire nebula that his planet rested in to shake.

"Temper, my Lord." Whis tells Beerus. Beerus would take deep breaths and his aura slowly dissipated.

"This is such a problem… AND IT WILL BE AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM IF ZENO DECIDES TO ANNOUNCE ANOTHER TOURNAMENT OF POWER OR ASKS KITO TO VISIT HIM!!!" Beerus grabs his ears tightly and tugs them.

"FIND THEM WHIS!!!" Beerus panics after thinking about Zeno.

"Already doing so, my Lord"

"SEARCH FASTER!!!!" Whis sighs.

"Yes, my Lord."

-Back in the Hyperdimension-

After IF concerningly intimidated the group, they manage to find a giant hole in the walls of the corridor. The group walked through the hole and now have found themselves in the insides of a Volcano. If they were to stay for any longer, some of them might get tired due to heat exhaustion.

"Man, it sure is hot here!" Red said, wiping the sweat from her head.

"Yea, I feel so icky and sweaty now." Compa complained. The group kept walking through and slaying any monster that came their way. This was the only possible way that the Underling could've gone through. Red would soon spot someone stuck inside of a cage and tell everyone.

"I see someone trapped over there!" The group ran over to see a familiar face that was used for Underlings disguise.

"It's Chika!" Cave yelled, she then ran over to the cage to help the real Chika.

"Are you alright, Chika?" Chika slowly starts to open her eyes.

"Huh…? Mmm… Cave…?" She muttered.

"Pull yourself together. I'll help you escape from here." Cave pulls out her scissor sword. Chicka starts to questionably start to act dramatically with bringing her right arm against her head.

"No, don't worry about me… The flame of life within me is slowly being snuffed out…" Cave and the Men in the group grew blank expressions, knowing that this dramatic Oracle was quite alright.

"Yes… My only regret… Is that I was unable to see my beautiful, darling Vert before my terrible demise…" Nepgear was surprisingly fooled by Chika being over dramatic.

"Goodness, no! You can't die now!" Cave reassured Nepgear.

"There is no need for distress. She is using her unparalleled talent at "BS-ing" us right now." Nepgear's eyes turned into white saucers because she got fooled… Twice…

"E-Excuse me!? How heartless! I… I really am on the verge of death here… uh…" Chika dramatically "Coughs". Noah rolls his eyes.

"Really, on the verge of Death? Doesn't look like it to us." Noah crossed his arms.

"Yeah, you are really making a big deal about this." Aiden said this would get stares from the warrior's, Compa, and IF.

"Says the guy who mistakes Gamindustri and the Gamindustri Graveyard as food…" IF muttered.

"You say something?" Aiden looks at IF and she replies with a quick "No".

"She does look weak and malnourished, we should carry her out to someplace safe and sunny." Compa said, bring a hand over her chest.

"Agreed. Let's get her back to the Basilicom." Cave slashes her sword and breaks the lock of the cage. She then opens the door and walks over to Chika.

"There's no use, I'm telling you… I can't move a single finger. Just leave me behind and-" Chicka was then cut off by the people that didn't fall for her BS the first time.

"Enough, or we really will leave you behind." They said, Chika huffed in annoyance.

"You all are not fun at all." Chika crossed her arms and turned her head to the side, this time it wasn't dramatic.

-Leanbox Basilicom (2:00 P.M.)-

"Sorry about making a scene earlier. I'm Chika Hakozaki, the Oracle of Leanbox. And all of you better not forget it!" Chika said, staring at the group with a sassy smirk.

"Her personality did a 180." IF blankly said.

"Please ignore it. This is… who she is." IF looked at Cave with a "Are you serious" expression.

"Miss Chika, were you the one who called me here, or was it the fake?" Nepgear asked Chika.

"It was indeed me. I heard a CPU was gathering shares, and thought it would be a great benefit for us to bring you here." Chika's eyes suddenly go serious and directly looks at Nepgear, making said girl really nervous.

"But more importantly… You know where my darling Vert is, right? WHERE IS SHE!? WHAT HAPPENED!? COME ON!!! SPEAK!!!" Chika jumped over her desk, ran towards Nepgear, and grabbed Nepgear by her shoulders and pulled Nepgear towards her so she would be staring dead into Nepgear's eyes.

"U-Uh, umm… C-Could you please try to calm down… Y-You're creeping me out…" Nepgear slowly begins to shake from Chika's stare.

"NEVER MIND HOW YOU FEEL!!!! ARE YOU HOLDING INFORMATION FROM ME BECAUSE YOU WANT SOMETHING FROM ME AS WELL!?" Nepgear lets out a small "eep" out of fear.

"Now, let's all just calm down… okay? Let's give Gearsy some room to breathe and explain." Aiden separated Chika from Nepgear.

-20 Minutes Later-

"I see… My darling Vert is still being held captive in the Gamindustri Graveyard…" Chika glummly said.

"Yes. That's why we're looking for the Mascots. We need their help to save the CPU's." Nepgear wore a serious expression and then softened as she asked Chika a question of her own.

"Miss Chika, would you happen to know where the Leanbox Mascot is located?" Chika formed a frown.

"Are you doubting my breadth of knowledge and expertise? Of course I… *The frown leaves her face and turns soft and a little nervous* used to know… where it was." Austin raised his right brow.

"What do you mean, "Use to know"?" He asked.

"Well, right before I was caught by one of those repulsive crew members of the ASIC, the Mascot was unfortunately taken captive as well." Red took her turn to ask a question.

"Do you think they've already destroyed it? Like how Underling did back in Lowee?" Broccoli gives her response to Red's question.

"If that's the case, Nepgear just needs a fragment for it to be repaired, nyu." Chika crosses her arms.

"No, that isn't the case. If the Mascot had been destroyed, we would have significant changes here." Austin places his index finger and thumb against his chin.

"Then why would they hold off on destroying it? They have it in their grasp… they must have some purpose for it…" Austin shared his thoughts.

"Maybe they want to use it's power or make a doppelganger?" Aiden spoke out his opinion.

"Whatever the case, it's hard to guess their actions with how scattered their priorities are." Chika sighs.

"All I can say is that they haven't destroyed it yet, giving us the chance to recover it." Chika smiled a little.

"I guess that's the best news we have had in awhile, but we should find the Mascot soon and fast." Isabella said as she crossed her arms.

"We need to find some leads first. Specifically, finding Underling so we can beat some information out of her." IF suggested.

"If she is as fishy as you described, then she will surely stand out. I will also gather information." Cave said. The group had all agreed on "gathering" information from Underling and left for the Secret Base back in the Underverse.

-A Minute Later-

The group had instantaneously appeared in the Secret Base with the help of Aiden using the Instant Transmission technique. Red holds her head and leans back and forth, uneasily.

"Whoa… everything feels weird…" Red stumbled and fell over, feeling very queasy.

"Well, I did tell you it might get sickening when you travel from one place to another in an instant." Aiden walked over to Red and patted her back, after she vomited in a corner of the corridor.

"I can sense Underling, she isn't too far right now." Austin said.

"Where is she?" IF asked and Austin pointed to the same hole they went through to find Chika.

"Alright, then let's move on." Everyone nodded and went through the hole in the Corridor in search of Underling.

-Few Minutes Later-

"You blew your disguise AND allowed them to get the Oracle back, huh? You really are useless, chu…" A familiar squeak came from the mouse mascot of ASIC, Warechu.

"Shuddup! FIRST OFF, disguises ain't my thing. All that stupid frilly crap and the big stupid moe eyes… It's gross, man…" Underling complained and Warechu sighed.

"I guess you're right, no way an idiot like you would be able to fill the shoes of an Oracle, chu." Underling was ticked off from that comment.

"Y'know, I get your point, and it's true… but hearing from you annoys me more than usual!" Underling said and got up in Warechu's face.

"Well you're a payroll toilet who can't do her job right. As for me, I did what I was told and was successfully able to catch the Mascot, chu." Warechu points as Leanbox's Mascot, who was trapped in a cage smaller than the one Chika was in.

"Tch, lame. If you have caught it, then hurry up and destroy the thing. It's a pain keeping that thing alive." Underling put her hands on her hips and let out a long sigh.

"Orders are orders. You're seriously an amatur if you think you can solve anything with destruction, chu." That comment infuriated Underling more.

"Hey! Calling me Underling is one thing, but don't you ever call me an amatur, you stupid rat!"

"Um… did we come at a bad time, or…" Underling and Warechu turn their heads towards the left and see the group standing before them. Underling growed an expression of "Oh crap…" over her face.

"Thanks for that loud mouth of yours, Underling. It made it even easier to track you down." IF confidently said. Underling would growl in annoyance.

"You can't be serious! Why are you idiots here! How did you even manage to find me in this place!?"

"Besides getting information from the folks, I just had to search for your energy and use Instant transmission to pop all of us here. Even though it was kinda hard with the energy signatures from the monsters here." Aiden answered, but the situation would change immediately with Warechu going head over heels for a certain Nurse.

"My dear angel, Compa! Have you come here to see me? I'm filled with sheer ecstasy, chu!" Warechu was lightly blushing and had hearts glowing in his eyes.

"Mister Mouse, can you please return the Mascot to us?" Compa asked seriously, holding her right hand against her. This in turn would make Warechu squeal for Compa even more.

"Yeah, definitely! Anything for you my angel! Want me to bubble-wrap it, chu?" Underling smacks Warechu in the head with her Iron Pipe.

"This isn't the time to turn on your dumb rat charm, you idiot! You morons think we'd give in that easily?" Red frowned with a determined fire in her eyes.

"Nope! That's why we came here prepared to beat you senseless and take it back by force!" Noah laughs awkwardly and sweats a little.

"Ha. Ha. Ha. I guess talking it out is out of the question." Cave summons out her Scissor-Sword.

"You have overstayed your welcome in Leanbox, prepare yourselves." Underling held her pipe in front of herself.

"You should be the ones who better be prepared! Don't think that this will be the same fight as last time!" Warechu and Underling prepare themselves to fight the group.

-After a One-Sided Fight Later-

"D-Dammit… I lost again…" Underling was on her knees and using her pipe to keep her up straight. While Warechu was on the ground, with his eyes being all swirly and overly excited.

"Getting slapped silly by my beautiful and angelic Compa… This is pure bliss, chu…!" Aiden recoils in disgust.

"That is seriously one creepy mouse…" IF smirked confidently and crossed her arms.

"Despite what she said, this really was the same fight." Broccoli joins in on IF's boasting.

"They should have some perspective on how weak they are by now, nyu." Nepgear runs over to the Mascot and sets it free.

"Are you alright? Did they hurt you?" Nepgear asked worryingly.

"I am alright, thank you. May I know who you are?" The Mascot asked.

"Oh! Hello, I'm Nepgear. I'm Planeptune's CPU Candidate, and I need your help to save Gamindustri." Compa laughs a little.

"Um, Ge-Ge? That might be a bit too much summarizing…"

"No, that was plenty of information. I sense the other Mascot's powers within her. Save Gamindustri, hmm?" Nepgear grows a small smile.

"So you got what I was trying to say? Then…!" Cave interruptus Nepgear.

"Hold. Protocol dictates we must first gain Chika's approval. Let us return to the Basilicom, and then-" Underling slams her pipe against the ground and gets back up.

"Hey! What is up with you guys! Don't you ignore me after the battle ends!" IF's confidence was rising.

"This is a new pattern for you, I thought you would've run away by now." Red was still furious and almost looked like steam was emanating off of her.

"Keep bugging us and I'll take you to the cleaners again." Underling spits on the ground.

"Hush up, squirt! I still have an ace up my sleeve!" Underling moves her left hand and searches for something in her pockets. Aiden wags his tail and feels that something is up and his feeling would be confirmed as Underling found what she wanted.

"That's… How did you get your hands on that!?" In Underling's left hand were two fruits connected, they had a red and looked similar to a Durian and Lychee fruit; a smirk would grow on Underling's face.

"Talking about this? Ya curious? It was a gift from my incredible boss." The warriors of the group narrowed their eyes, knowing that this can be a problem.

"I was told to use it if I got backed into a corner by the lot of you again! I hope you're ready to get what's coming to ya!" Underling breaks the stem that connects the two fruits and gives the second fruit to Warechu, who got up during the conversation. Both Warechu and Underling took a bite out of their fruits and a sudden swell of power burst out of them and they were soon covered in a very dark purplish-silver aura.

"What's with this sudden dark energy?" Nepgear said.

"I sense their newfound power. No, the power is merely imbued onto their bodies, yet…" IF looks over to the warriors and Isabella.

"Wanna explain what's happening?"

"That fruit is called the Fruit of Might…" Noah said and got into his stance.

"Fruit of Might?" Nepgear questioned and Isabella was the one to answer.

"The Fruit of Might is a fruit that is grown from the Tree of Might. The fruit is created when the Tree of Might gathers energy from a planet. Once it has consumed enough energy, it will grow the fruit." Compa would ask another question.

"Why would anyone grow such a tree like that?" Austin would take his turn to answer.

"We don't know why, but we do know that the fruits are only meant to be consumed by Gods and Eternal Dragons. If a mortal were to consume the fruit, they would gain a drastic boost in power and one such fool who did it was a Saiyan named Turles." Rhyel continues the explanation.

"There was also a Turles from a different timeline who asked a Demon Scientist named Towa to give him a corrupted version of the holy fruit. Another Tree of Might was grown in the Demon Realm and consumed the dark energy from that realm and gave creation to a corrupted Fruit of Might, and I have a feeling that the same can be said with the version that those two have."

-Cue: Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 OST: Become Villainous-

One final burst of energy comes out of both Warechu and Underling, revealing them in the same form that Raditz and Garlic Jr. both had. They both had the Infinite symbol on their heads, the power symbol on their chests, and were now silver.

"Whooooooa… Oh heck yeah, this is great… This power… it's incredible!" Underling exclaimed and looked at her own body, feeling the energy surge through her.

"Now I might be strong enough to… Yeah. Waiting patiently is just one form of love. Time to use force, chu!" Warechu begins to laugh and breathe really heavily.

"Man he got a whole lot more creeper." Aiden said as he looked at Warechu with a concerned look.

"This might be a problem, the energy I'm sensing from them is stronger than the boosts from the other two versions of the Fruit of Might." Noah said.

"Underlings are always gonna be Underlings, so it doesn't matter if she powers up or not! I'm gonna win!" Red rushes at Underling.

"Red, wait!" Aiden yelled to Red. Red takes out her yo-yo and swings it directly at Underling, but the yo-yo would harmlessly bounce off of Underling and she would begin to laugh.

"Hahaha! What was that, a tickle? It looked like you were trying to hit me, but… hehe…" Red backs off.

"Uh-oh! D-Did I mess up or something?" Underling taps her pipe against her shoulder.

"Here, let me show what an actual attack looks like. Take this!" Underling swings her pipe into Red's gut, sending Red flying back towards the group. Red hits the ground hard and skids against it.

"AHH!!!" Red held her gut in pain as she curled up.

"Red!?" Nepgear runs over to Red. Everyone else returns their attention to Underling and Warechu.

"You're gonna pay for that!" Jason yelled out.

"Hahaha! I can win.. I can finally do this! It's time for payback!" Underling laughed, while Warechu was… In his own fantasy land… and it would cause Compa to shake and slowly take some steps back.

"This sucks, Underling has activated her limit break, nyu." Broccoli said as she hopped off her weird ball and went to hold onto it.

"Wish we could run away, but I doubt that she ain't gonna let this opportunity slip by…" IF readied her Qatars.

"And after we manage to get the Mascot out of that cage…" Aiden muttered.

-End Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 OST: Become Villainous-

"Don't give up!" cried out a voice, catching everyone's attention.

"Huh?" Aiden looked around for the source of where the voice came from.

"Over there!" Compa pointed and there was someone on a bridge that connected the landmass they were on with another one. The person that was standing on the bridge was 5pb and she was holding an electric guitar in her hands.

"5pb!? Why are you here?" Cave asked and 5pb smiled.

"Miss Chika asked me to come help." Cave grows a small smile.

"I see. One couldn't ask for better reinforcements." Underling laughs in pride.

"You're that loud idol from that concert, right? HAHAHA!! Whatcha gonna do, sing me to death?" 5pb readies her guitar.

"Yes. I'm here to sing my song. That's all I can do."

"Fantastic! Let's hear it, then!" Underling smirked.

"I-If you insist! Please listen to my song." 5pb begins to sing a nice and encouraging song.

"This is ridiculous… *Pinches her nose* Hehehe… May as well get on with crushing those hopes right now! Time to… Huh…?" Underling started to change back to her usual self, but still kept the dark aura and red eyes. The same thing was also happening with Warechu.

"Wh-What gives? My powers, Chu…" The group then eased themselves, feeling the tension and power of Warechu and Underling decrease.

"Seriously, what gives! This is so dumb!" Undeling yelled and slowly started to feel the fatigue coming back.

"This is a lovely song… It feels like I'm being filled with a surge of energy." Nepgear looked at her hands, as they glowed with a blue and pinkish aura.

"Yep! I feel like I can do brain surgery!" As Compa made that comment, everyone (except Red and Cave) shivered in fear.

'If that happens, I hope that I won't be the patient…' Jason sweat nervously. Red easily gets up, no longer feeling the pain in her gut.

"Huh? It's not just a feeling… The ouchie from that smack is disappearing..." Red started to glow the same Blue-Pinkish aura, the same was happening with the others.

"This isn't some kind of group hallucination, is it?" IF looked at the rest of the group as the aura glowed brighter.

"No, this is definitely happening." Austin looked over himself.

"5pb's songs have a special gift. It strengthens the just and weakens the corrupt and wicked." Cave explained. Aiden would look at his right hand and frown.

"Strengthen the just, huh...?" Aiden muttered, and Underling was throwing a fit.

"N-No way! That's so cheap! I won't lest some stupid pop song beat me!" Underling swiped her pipe and her eyes glow menacingly.

"Alright, let's do this." Aiden immediately goes Super Saiyan 2, and the same goes with the other Saiyans. Nepgear as well transforms to her CPU form.

"Take this!" Underling runs forward and swings her pipe dowards on Aiden. Aiden in turn blocked the attack with his left arm and slammed his right knee into Underling's stomach, sending her flying.

"Okay, so who fights who?" Aiden asks the group.

"Me, you, Cave, Red, Austin, and Rhyel will handle Underling. The rest of you can handle the rat, and Compa will handle with support." IF told them and spread out to handle their given targets.

"Here I come! KYAAAAAAAAAAA!!" Nepgear rushes at Warechu and slashes at the mouse.

"Chuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Warechu goes flying in the air, spinning around. Jason snap vanishes above Warechu and drops kicks him back towards the ground. Before Warechu would even make contact with the ground, Noah dashed to Warechu and grabbed him by his face. Noah spins Warechu around and after the final spin, he slams Warechu into the ground.

"PAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Warechu gasped in pain and held himself as he rolled around. Not allowing the mouse to get the chance to recover, Isabella sent a fire ball towards Warechu and it would explode into a pillar of flames.

"CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!" Warechu came out of the pillar of flames and ran around comedically as his butt was currently on fire.

"I feel sorry for Mister Mouse." Compa commented as she watched Warechu rolling around, trying to extinguish the fire on his butt.

"Well, he was asking for it…" Jason crossed his arms and watched as well.

-With The Fight Against Underling-

"AGHHH!!!" Underling was sent sliding against the ground, she would somehow stab her pipe into the ground to bring herself to a stop. Underling looks up to look at Aiden, who was responsible for sending her to the ground with a kick. Underling breaks into a dash and prepares a horizontal swing with her pipe, but it is prevented when Rhyel appears next to her and receives a roundhouse kick to the left side of her stomach. Underling went flying into a boulder and spat out a mix of blood and saliva.

"C-Crap…" Underling held her pipe in her left hand and was holding her stomach with her right. Blood flowed down on her chin as she was shaking in pain.

"Hm…" Aiden's eyes were covered by his bangs. IF and Red ran past Aiden and readied their attacks. IF started her assault with a Demonic Inferno, which Underling barely managed to dodge. But Underling ran into Red's assault as she smacked Underling with her yo-yo. Red kept up her swings with her yo-yo, making sure Underling didn't get an opening to retaliate. Red takes out a book and smacks Underling straight on the head and enters a combo of slapping Underling in the face with said book. Red finishes her combo by jumping back and the dragon that is always around her comes to life and opens its mouth, charging up some type of beam attack.

"This is gonna hurt!" Red throws her hand forward, on command the dragon fires a giant red and orange beam that consumes Underling and creates a huge trench in the ground. The blast comes to a stop, but the assault continues as Austin and Cave commence a duel combo on Underling. Multiple slashes and explosions from ki blasts make contact with Underling, causing her to scream a lot. Once they finished their assault, they both knocked Underling flying and sent her straight into Warechu.

"This is pretty easy!" Jason smirks as he cracks his knuckles. Jason and the other saiyans drop back into their base forms.

"D-Damn it…" Underling tried to steady her breath as she slowly got back up.

"Chu…"

"I gotta admit, I thought we were gonna be cornered." IF scratched the back of her head. Nepgear turns around and kidly bows to 5pb.

"Thank you very much, 5pb. Really!" 5pb reacts very unexpectedly after being thanked.

"Eeeeeeek!" Waves that looked like what would be used to record seismic activity appear in 5pb's eyes as she runs away and hides behind Cave, confusing the group (except Aiden).

"Sh-She ran away from me… D-Do I smell funny…?" Nepgear smells herself.

"Do not be alarmed. Please forgive her. When not performing, she is a very shy individual." This shocked and confused most of the group.

"How does that even work?" Noah questioned. 5pb poked her head out and her eyes were now white saucers.

"I-I'm sorry... I'm so sorry! I d-didn't mean to run away, but…" 5pb's voice turns into a whisper.

"A shy girl that can sing in front of a packed audience, nyu?" 5pb blushed nervously and pressed her index fingers against each other.

"W-Well, it's like… I switch inside of me, and then… B-But usually, no, I'm too scared…" Compa would smile.

"Whatever the case, you helped us save the Mascot, Miss 5pb." The Mascot flew over to them.

"Yes. I am grateful to you all. I don't know how I would repay you." Nepgear walks over and gives a kind smile.

"Don't worry about it. We are just fixing the problems that the ASIC have caused."

"Both Chika and the Mascot are safe. I pray that this will put Leanbox back on the path to order." Cave said to the group.

"Welp, our work here is done. Let's head back to the Basilicom." IF said and the rest of the group turns around and heads towards the opening of the corridor. However, Aiden stays in place and keeps his eyes on both Warechu and Underling.

"Aiden?" Nepgear was the first one to notice that Aiden hadn't moved at all. The rest soon notice and walk back over.

"What… You want to continue calling me names or something? Do you idiots have any shame for some you've beaten…" Underling glared at all of them. Aiden stayed silent, keeping his focus directly on Underling as he frowned. Aiden breaks his stare and turns his head to look at Compa.

"Hey, Compa…" Compa looks at Aiden.

"Y-Yes?" She stuttered as Aiden's eyes looked really serious.

"Do you have any healing items that can restore people fully to the point where they feel like they never received any damage at all...?" Compa was confused, but she nodded.

"O-Of course I do, is something wrong?" Jason smiles and crosses his arms.

"What? Did you end up getting a boo-boo or something?" Aiden gives a sharp stare at Jason, before looking back at Compa.

"Can I have two of them…?" Compa digs through her purse and takes out two bottles with lightish blue liquid inside. Aiden nods to represent his thanks and walks over to Compa and takes them. Aiden then walks back over to Underling and Warechu.

"Here…" Aiden tossed the bottles to Warechu and Underling. This action caused everyone in the Group (except for Austin and Rhyel) to have their jaws dropped.

"Huh?" Underling picks up the bottle, as well as Warechu.

"AIDEN!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Noah yelled as he grabbed Aiden by his hood.

"Yeah! Why are you giving Underling and the rat our healing items!" Red glared at Aiden as she flailed her arms.

"Whatever the case, I think he just gave us the chance to give back the pain you gave us. I'll make sure it's double the amount too!" Underling took the cork off the bottle and started to drink the substance. Underling tossed the bottle away after she finished everything inside, Warechu would do the same. Their wounds disappear and the dark power they possed returns, along with the silver form.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!! I feel so much better now! But first, let's make sure that this goes differently this time." Underling takes out her fruit and finishes the entire thing, letting her power increase more than before.

"I'll make sure you accept my love for you, my sweet Compa, chu!" Warechu finishes his fruit as well and gains more power too.

"Now look what happened! They now have a huge boost in power no thanks to you!" Jason yelled as he readied himself, the rest of the group did the same.

"I'll help with my so-" 5-b was cut off when Austin stuck out his right arm.

"Austin?" Austin looks at Jason and the group with a blane glare, before walking over to Aiden, Noah, and Red.

"SERIOUSLY MAN!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDE--" Austin grabs Noah and separates him from Aiden.

"AUSTIN!? What do you think you're doing, I still got something to say to this id-" Austin gave Noah the same blane glare. Noah was about to say something, but kept quiet; Austin turned to look at Aiden.

"I know what you're thinking, and I'm not going to stop you. But there is one thing I want to be certain with…" Aiden raises his right brow.

"What is it?"

"You sure you want to handle this by yourself?" Aiden smirks, his cold expression disappearing from his face.

"Definitely, not only that I want to fight them with my own strength… I wanna teach them a lesson." Austin smirks and makes a fist with his right hand; Aiden does the same with his left hand and fist bumps Austin.

"You better not go easy on those two and mess around." Aiden puts his hands against his hips and wags his tail.

"I won't, anyways… you better give me some space." Austin nods and walks back over to the group.

"What did he say?" Nepgear asked. Austin gives Aiden a quick glance, watching him approach Underling and Warechu.

"He wants to handle this on his own…" Aiden stops walking and is now seven feet apart from the two ASIC members.

"So, you want to be the first one who wants to get a beating? Fine by me!" Underling swipes her pipe and prepares to charge at Aiden. Before she could, Aiden put up his hand, telling her to wait.

"Not yet, I wanna take this somewhere's else." Underling rested her pipe back on her shoulder, giving Aiden a smug look.

"For what? Do you want to be in an open area or a crowded one where everyone can see you get dominated by this awesome power I have?" Aiden crosses his arms and gives Underling his own smug look.

"No, the reason why I want to go somewhere else, because… *His irises flash yellow and green* I'm still holding back." Underling and Warechu are both shocked for a moment, but Underling regains her smugness and chuckles.

"Yeah right… Okay then, I'll humor you and go along with your bluff." Aiden chuckles.

"Okay then, just don't blame me once you find out that I'm not bluffing." Aiden looks at Jason.

"Yo Jason, do you know how to use Instant Transmission?" Jason looks at Aiden questionably, but nods.

"Yeah I know the technique, but haven't mastered it completely." Aiden charges up a Ki ball in his right hand.

"Okay, you better lock onto my Ki signature, I don't wanna have you guys walk all the way back up to the surface." Aiden looks back at Underling and Warechu.

"You don't mind if this place ends up having a big hole in the ceiling?" Underling chuckles again.

"Go ahead, this base isn't even used by the ASIC anymore." After Underling finished, Aiden chucked the ball towards the ceiling. As the ball hits the ceiling, Aiden swipes his left hand forward and causes the ball to enlarge and create a bright light. The light slowly diminishes and leaves a giant hole that leads back towards the surface.

"Let's go." Aiden flies up and goes through the hole.

"Come on, let's follow him, rat." Underling surprisingly was able to fly and followed Aiden.

"I am a mouse, chu!" Warechu followed suit. Jason turned towards the group and placed two fingers upon his forehead.

"NO NO NO!!! I am not going through that again!" Red yelled out, her face turning a shade of green.

"I know and I'm sorry Red, but this is the fastest way of getting to the surface." 5pb decides to take the time and asks a question.

"U-Um, what is this Instant Transmission?" Rhyel answers the question.

"Instant Transmission is a technique that allows a person or group to appear in a different location in an instant. It requires the user to have complete focus and a Ki signature of someone or thing in the location they want to go too." He summarized.

"Just ahead of time, like I said I haven't fully mastered the Instant Transmission. So I'm sorry If we end up someplace random or something." Austin grabs onto Jason's shoulder.

"Nice to say something soooooooooo encouraging." Jason glares at Austin and frowns.

"Oh shut it! Can you not say anything sarcastic, I at least have something useful while you just talk smack!" Austin glared at Jason.

"Wanna bet?" Jason and Austin banged their heads against each other, glaring intensely at each other.

"Can you two settle this at a different time? You should be focusing on Aiden's Ki… So you better get on with it, Jason…" Rhyel said, as he grabbed onto Jason's other shoulder.

"Right, Right… Gotta focus…" The rest of the group walked over and grabbed onto Jason.

"L-Like this?" 5pb said as she put her hand on Jason's back.

"Yep… Come on Red, you better grab on before we leave you behind." Red slowly walks over and hesitates to grab on.

"Annnnnnnnnnnnd I got it, I should be able to get us there easily since Aiden conveniently landed somewhere's close. *Looks at Red* Come on, Red… Grab on before we leave down here." Red eventually grabs onto Jason, trying to keep her stomach in check.

"Better hang on to me everyone, because here we go." Jason closed his eyes and everyone (Including himself) had disappeared.

-Underverse (Surface)-

Aiden, Underling, and Warechu flew at least 560 feet away from the giant hole Aiden created. The three of them landed in an open area of a forest that was close to the volcano where the Secret ASIC Base was under. Aiden takes the moment to do some stretching and warms up.

"Don't mind that we take our fight right here? Sure it might be tight here, but it's nice and scenic." Underling rolled her eyes and started to tap her pipe against her shoulder, impatiently.

"Oh don't give me that sweet talk about the scenery. Let's just get this over with… I wanna call out your bluff, so I can get on with beating up the rest of your friends." Just on cue, the rest of the group appeared as she mentioned them. Red runs off to vomit again for a minute before walking back.

"Speaking of which, here they are… I guess you were too anxious to wait and came all the way here to see me beat his sorry ass." Underling boats. Austin crosses his arms and stares directly at Underling.

"I wouldn't underestimate him, he was telling the truth after all…" Underling grows as she looks back at Aiden.

"You sure he'll be alright?" Nepgear asked Austin and he would nod in response.

"He will, besides… Don't you remember to trust him?" Nepgear holds her hand close to her heart as she looks towards the fight that will soon start.

"Before we start, I want to give you a small comparison before I take this seriously." Aiden finished stretching and stood up straight.

"Fine, I'll humor you a little." Underling said, but was soon getting distracted by a certain mouse.

"My angel Compa came to see me, chu~." Underling smacked Warechu on the back of his head.

"Ow! Why did you-" Underling points to Aiden, reminding Warechu to focus. Aiden just sweats during the dispute between Underling and Warechu.

" *Fake Coughs* Are you guys done yet?" Underling and Warechu stopped and returned their attention to him.

"Good, here we go… As you see right now, this is my normal state." Aiden closes his eyes for a second before opening them up again, this time with his irises turning yellow. At the same time, his black-purple aura turns into a flaming green color and his black hair spikes upwards.

"This is what happens when a Saiyan masters a portion of a Oozaru's power, this is known as Ikari." Rhyel rolls his eyes.

'He's seriously doing this…?' Rhyel thought to himself. Aiden slides his right foot a little and his green aura bursts into a brilliant yellow, hair turning into a gold yellow color, and his irises turning a teal-green.

"This is a Super Saiyan." Aiden lets out a short yell and clenches his fists. His aura would burst again, but this time he became a Super Saiyan 2.

"And you should be familiar with this one, this is Super Saiyan 2." Underling rolls her eyes in boredom.

"What's the point of this, the only thing you've done is change your hair style and it's color!" Aiden chuckled as he got into his charging stance.

"Well, you're going to be quite surprised with this next one then." Aiden's yellow aura starts to glow brighter and grows in size. The electricity that sparked around him started to snap violently and begin to act like real lightning. The rocks and sticks that laid on the ground started to rattle, even the ground was beginning to shake.

"What is he trying to pull off?" Cave asked, Austin looked over to her.

"Something that only he has complete control over…" Cave and the rest of the Girls were confused, but they didn't question it as the rumbling got more intense.

"W-W-Wooooah! W-W-What's happening!?" 5bp yelled as she lost balance. Cave helped 5pb from falling over, the same couldn't be said for Compa and Red. Compa fell right on her butt and Red fell right on her face.

"Owww..." Red said in a muffled voice, she managed to get up and clean the dirt off her face and clothes.

"Owie!" Compa said as she rubbed her butt. The ground started to shake more and more, the clouds in the sky started to slowly spin around above them as rocks, pebbles, and sticks started to float upwards.

"AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BRING A SUPER SAIYAN, EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!!!!" Aiden yelled out, causing the ground beneath them to crack open and forcing trees to start up rooting from the ground.

"W-What's he doing!?" Nepgear asked in concern, Noah looked at the group.

"Everyone here who doesn't know how power ups work, please hold onto something. I mean it… because we can't risk any of you getting blown away." The Girls immediately ran over to tree roots or got under uplifted sections of the area that were securely stuck to the ground.

"Wait, what about you guys? Shouldn't you hold onto something secure as well?" IF asked. Rhyel crosses his arms and sits on a boulder.

"We'll be fine…" Branches from the trees broke off from trees and the leaves fell off and swirled around violently.

-Cue: DRAGON BALL Z - SSJ3 Theme (Styzmask Remix)-

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Aiden's veins started to pop out, adrenaline and blood coursing through them. His Aura's glow intensified and the electricite became more sporadic and hitting trees, snapping them in half and sending them flying into the sky.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" A crater formed right under Aiden and the ground begins to split open in some nearby locations. Nepgear and the rest of the girls had to cover their eyes as the glow was bright and from the dirt and rocks that were sent flying. Even the oceans that surrounds Gamindustri stirred and splashed with great force. The waves shrew in size, some waves even crashed into each other, even tsunamis were created by the sheer force of power.

"What is this!?" 5pb asked as she held onto a branch for dear life. Cave held onto 5pb, to make sure that the idol is well secured and doesn't get blown away from the force.

"I never thought that one person could have this much power." Cave said calmly as she shields her and 5pb's eyes.

"Goodness! There's so much pressure!" Nepgear gripped her hands into the dirt and held onto branches that were uprooted, just in case the boulder she was hiding under was sent flying too.

"E-E-E-E-Everything i-i-is v-v-very sh-sh-shakey!" Compa said as she was shaking from the vibrations.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" The crater from underneath Aiden grew in size, the trees finally giving into the force and were now being flinged into the sky in mass amounts. The clouds were now turning into a dark grey and were forming into a storm, even becoming a hurricane.

"MY EARS, CHUUU!!!" Warechu held onto his ears with his stuppy hands, squeezing his eyes shut.

"I can't believe this!" Underling was holding on to her pipe (Which was stabbed into the ground) and used her left arm to protect her eyes. Lighting from the swirling storm up above hit the ground and created more craters. The Volcano where the secret ASIC base started to crumble as well, bringing lava to flow out on the surface. The amount of power that Aiden was drawing out was causing the world to shake, some might even mistaken it as nature being angered and finally take it's stress out.

-Leanbox Streets-

The roads cracked open and the beautiful white and green buildings crumbled and tumbled over. The debris hit the ground hard, almost hitting the panicking residents of Leanbox. The vehicles even rose into the sky with glass shattering.

"AAAAAH!!!!" Screams came from a woman who was holding her daughter close, hoping to keep her safe from a giant piece of debris that was falling towards them. The woman closed her eyes, expecting the pain to come crashing when the debris got closer. As it was about to hit the woman, the sound of a gunshot was heard and the debris was turned into smaller pieces and reduced to pebbles. The woman opens her eyes and looks around the still shaking city of Leanbox. The woman gets up and picks up her daughter and runs off to somewheres safe.

"That was close…" Up in the sky was Uni in her CPU state, holding her giant railgun that had smoke coming out of the barrel. Uni looks over to the volcano, seeing a giant yellow pillar of light with a hurricane swirling above it.

"Whatever that light is, it must be the source of what is happening… Then, why do I have the feeling that I know what the cause is…" Uni takes a deep breath and takes a serious look.

"Doesn't matter now, I have to check it out!" Uni flies over to the pillar of light at top speed and if she encounters something that might be dangerous, she'll be ready.

-In Another District of Leanbox-

Rom and Ram were helping and protecting some of the residents from either falling over or from the falling debris, while trying to keep their own balance.

"This sucks! It's so annoying to keep ourselves up while helping these people! Ugh, I hate these stupid earthquakes!" Ram complained as she stumbled when another tremor hit, causing more glass and debris to come falling down. Some glass shards were falling towards a small crowd in front of Rom and Ram. Rom was quick to action and whisked her pen like wand to create a roof made of ice. The glass shards hit the ice roof, the small crowd got out of the protection of the ice roof and joined the group that were being escorted by Rom and Ram.

"Hey, Over here!" Rom and Ram look to their right and say a man with a green and white uniform, he was probably some type of officer. The officer was standing next to an entrance that led to a bunker or any form of secure place that provided protection. The crowd of people that were with Rom and Ram immediately ran through the entrance.

"That's about everyone here in my section!" The officer said to the walkie talkie on his right shoulder, probably informing who was in charge of the evacuation that was issued when the sudden quakes hit.

"Hey kids, what're you doing standing out there!? Come on and get inside!" Yelled the officer, Rom and Ram looked at each other.

"Come on, what're you-" The officer was cut short from finishing when Ram stomped the ground with her foot.

"You should get inside, you dummy! We're CPU Candidates after all and we can handle ourselves just fine!" Rom nods in agreement with her twin sister. Both girls transformed and took off, leaving a bewildered officer. The officer shook off his shock and closed off the entrance, making sure none of the debris ended up falling in. The twins flew over the ruined nation of Leanbox, the bright light from before glows much brighter and causes even more tremors and the amount of lightning strikes has increased.

"Ram, over there…!" Rom points over to the yellow pillar of light, where the tremors and lightning were forming around. Ram looks over to the pillar, she nods to her twin sister and they both make their way towards it.

-Leanbox Basilicom-

Chika scrambled around, giving orders to the guards that have not fallen into the ASIC's influence. It was hard for her to give out loud orders, due to the noise of the lightning and pieces of the basilicom falling apart.

"Has all the civilians evacuated to the bunkers!?" Chika yelled out to one of the guards. One of the guards that were holding onto a nearby pillar for support.

"Yes Ma'am! The citizens of Leanbox have safely been guided to the bunkers!" Another tremor hit and glass within the basilicom shattered. Chika and the guards took cover, preventing the glass from hitting them. Chika got out of her covers and commanded the guards to do other tasks, the guards all nodded and ran off to do their tasks. Chika turns her attention outside, staring at the Pillar of light.

"They better be alright…" Chika muttered to herself, silently praying for the group's well being. All the other nations were suffering the same events in Leanbox, buildings faltering and the ground rising up, the lighting strikes continuing to get worse.

-Universe 7 / Beerus's Planet-

"Hm?" Beerus looked behind him, swearing he felt a hint of familiar energy. Beerus looks over to Whis, who is standing in front of the pound.

"Whis, did you sense that?" Whis nods to confirm Beerus's question.

"Yes I have my Lord, I indeed felt a small surge of Aiden's energy."

"Get on it." Beerus sharply said.

"Yes, my Lord."

-Underverse (Surface)-

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Aiden's hair slowly started to grow longer and lean a little downwards, the pillar of light that was manifested by his aura began to change and take on a shape. Aiden's aura twisted and turned, slowly starting to take the shape of a figure. The aura turned into a giant ape, it was the shape of an Oozaru.

"HOLY CRAP, CHU!!!" Warechu screamed, looking at the giant aura Oozaru that stood above Aiden.

"WHOA!!!" Red also screamed out at the sight of the Aura manifested Oozaru. The rest of the girls there were in shock of what they were seeing before them.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Aiden's yell was echoed out with the roar that came from the Oozaru. The Oozaru began to shrink in size, until it surrounded Aiden's body completely. The crater underneath Aiden widened even more, looking like a meteor crashed into the ground. Almost all the tree's in the area were now flung into the air, fires started from each strike of lightning.

"GRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" With one last roar, Aiden was engulfed in a bright array of light that blinded anyone who was close by. Everybody in the area (Except the fighters) immediately covered their eyes. Slowly, the tremors stopped, and the sounds of storm died out into a whisper. Those who weren't use to that huge amount of ki being thrown out brought their arms down, what they were met with was a glowing ball of yellow that had lighting sparking around it. The girls got out of cover and stared in awe at the glowing ball, 5pb was surprisingly the first one to ask a question.

-End DRAGON BALL Z - SSJ3 Theme (Styzmask Remix)-

"W-What just happened, and W-Where did he go?" Austin turns to look at 5bp, she in return makes a small "eep!" and hides herself behind Cave.

"He's still here, it's just that his aura is covering up his presence. It'll take a minute for the aura around him to slowly disperse…" Underling had her fingers in her ears, checking if her ears were bleeding.

"Sheesh man! Did he seriously have to yell that loud, I felt like my ears were gonna burst!" Underling complained.

"I never thought that Aiden could release that much power." Nepgear spoked, she was in awe and was terrified. Sure, she knows that people can achieve huge power without the use of Share energy. But after that display, all the other opponents and the show of power from the fighters in their group had failed compared to this.

"Man, you guys should've stopped before he did that… I mean look at what happened here." IF took in the look of the now destroyed forest. Trees, rocks, and chunks of the ground fell back on the ground, but further away from where the group was standing.

"Umm, yeah we probably should've done that…" Noah chuckled nervously, IF gave Noah a glare as a tree fell near them.

"What in Gamindustri happened here!?" The Group had turned their attention to a figure who was floating down before them. Nepgear lets out a small gasp, knowing who the figure was.

"Uni!" Nepgear smiled, Uni landed on the ground and returned to her Human form. Uni looked at the destroyed forest that laid before her eyes.

"Nepgear, are you responsible for making this mess?" Uni shot a quick glare at Nepgear.

"Eh!? No I didn't and I don't even have the power to do this much!" Nepgear defended herself, Uni kept her eye's on Nepgear, but eventually let out a sigh.

"Yeah, you're right… You definitely don't even have that much power anyways, since I'm stronger than you of course!" Uni bragged, the rest of the group only stared at Uni because of the fact that Uni lost to Nepgear the last time.

"But, didn't I show that I was stronger the last time we fought?" Before Uni could even reply, a yell of "Miss Nepgear…!" was heard. The Group (Now including Uni) turned their attention to the incoming forms of Rom and Ram.

"Rom, Ram! What're you two doing here?" Nepgear asked the twin Candidate sisters. The two sisters landed on the torn up ground and reverted into their human forms as well.

"We came to see what that bright light was…" Rom quietly told Nepgear in her shy tone. Ram on the other hand marched right up to Nepgear, invading her personal space.

"Now that you know… Can you please tell us what happened here!? Were you the cause of that bright light and leaving Leanbox in a mess, you stupid bully!" Nepgear reeled back from Ram's outburst, Nepgear waved her arms, stuttering in her explanation she was telling to the other Candidates on what happened.

"So that was all Aiden, huh? As well as why I feel that dark presence emanating from those two lackeys over there." Uni looked at the Glowing yellow ball, which was now shrinking in size. She also gave a sharp look at the mouse and green haired minion.

"You're telling us that other bully caused all this!? Does he have any idea what he did!?" Ram went off on a little rant on all about what happened in Leanbox.

"We will deal with those problems later, kid… Besides, The battle is about to begin…" Austin said, making the Group return their attention back on the yellow ball. The ball kept getting smaller and smaller, until it shrank into a humanoid figure… Aiden's figure.

"What's happening?" Compa asked.

"Just watch…" Austin replied.

-Cue: DRAGON BALL Z: Gokhan's Theme (Saiyan Enigma)-

Lightning kept flickering around the glowing humanoid figure of Aiden. Some girls in the group almost felt that Aiden's presence right now was somewhat… divine. It was quiet, so quiet that anyone could hear the sound of a fly or the flowing of a calm river. Slowly the sound of the wind was heard, leafs from the remaining trees that still stood fell onto the ruined ground. The wind slowly built up in strength and little by little, got louder. A huge gust of wind blew through the area; the aura that encased Aiden, finally vanished and what stood before the Girls, the Candidates, Warechu and Underling, caused their eyes to widen.

The color of his hair and tail were still a beautiful Yellowish-Gold color, but his hair was more spiky and longer than it was earlier. The length of his hair just made it past his waist, the fur on his tail was also spiky and slightly longer. His eyebrows were gone and the color of his irises turned into a darker green, but there was a gradient of yellow that surrounded his pupils. The lighting from earlier still flickered around his body, but that wasn't the thing that shocked most of the girls there. What shocked them most was the sense of anger that was emitting from his being and how serious the expression on his face was. It honestly scared them of how calm his face was, even with the sense of anger coming from him.

"Mister Aiden looks really scary…" Rom had little tears form in her eyes.

"D-Don't be scared Rom, t-that dummy isn't that s-scary." In all honesty, Ram was really scared by Aiden's expression. The calm expression with anger was really scary, but it wasn't as scary when her older sister got angry… well in her opinion.

"And this… is Super Saiyan 3…" Aiden's voice was slightly deeper now, matching the serious expression on his face. Everyone (Except the warriors) were taken back at how his voice had changed suddenly, Nepgear however was a different story. Nepgear was indeed scared, but was also blushing a little after she heard Aiden's voice.

-End DRAGON BALL Z: Gokhan's Theme (Saiyan Enigma)-

"Pff, like that change of length in your hair would scare me! All of that flashy crap doesn't prove your point! I'm plenty strong as it is with the help of that fruit, Hah!" Underling charges towards Aiden, she swipes her pipe towards Aiden's head. As the pipe was about to come in contact with Aiden's skull, but it never happened.. Ood… she swore her pipe slammed into his head. Suddenly for some reason, she felt a heavy and sharp pain in her gut. Underling gagged for a moment, the pain immediately became worse and made her spat out saliva and a little bit of blood. Underling fell to the ground, dropping her pipe and holding her stomach with both arms.

"W-What the hell was that!?" Underling looked up and to her surprise, Aiden was no longer in front of her. Underling looked around and saw no trace of Aiden at all, she then felt a sharp pain in her back and now found her face being planted into the ground. She pulled her face out of the dirt and shook her head to get the dirt off. Underling turned to see Aiden, who had his back (and large hair) facing her. This aggravated Underling and Warechu couldn't do anything but shake in fear.

"Woah, how did he get behind her that fast?" Red asked.

"I know that Super Saiyan 3 was powerful, but I wasn't expecting it to be this powerful." Said Isabella. Austin let out a small smirk, mostly due to all the reactions that were happening.

"I'm impressed by how his speed has increased dramatically." Cave commented, never seeing anyone move that fast and make it look like it only happened instantly.

"Well, his Super Saiyan 3 form is different from Jason's and Austin's Super Saiyan 3." Noah told the girls. That intrigued them, what did Noah mean that Aiden's Super Saiyan 3 was different?

"Different? What do you mean it's different?" IF asked the question.

"Normally the Super Saiyan 3 form is pulling power from deep inside, tapping into a Saiyans potential and pushing that potential to its limits, increasing utilization of ki, but requires a large amount of Stamina to keep the transformation. It's even worse due to how much energy that form consumes. This isn't the case for Aiden's Super Saiyan 3 however… Instead of drawing out the power of a Saiyans potential and extracting it from their blood, Aiden uses the potential that the Saiyans of our current age have long forgotten and was only utilized once by Goku, Vegeta, and Broly. The potential he is using is primal power… (A/N: Before anyone decides to complain on GOKU AND VEGETA DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE PRIMAL POWER!!! They do, in the GT time when they use Super Saiyan 4. In this story I am using both the Super and GT timeline. The elements of GT are involved in between the 60 year timeskip that I mentioned at the beginning of the story.)

"Primal Power?" This time, Uni asked a question. Austin brings his attention from Aiden, over towards Uni.

"Primal Power is utilized when a Saiyan has managed to control the power of an Oozaru, but within their human state. This in turn gives a Saiyan the power, strength, and durability of an Oozaru, while keeping their speed and agility. Nepgear, IF, and Compa already know this after seeing Aiden use it back in Planeptune." Austin looks at the three girls he mentioned for a brief moment before bringing his attention back on Aiden.

"Aiden is utilizing that power as a base for his Super Saiyan 3 transformation so he doesn't have to completely rely on his blood, ki, and stamina just to maintain the form."

"But wouldn't that put any strain on his body if he is utilizing both the Super Saiyan 3 form and Primal Power at the same time?" IF provided a good point.

"Normally it would, Primal power does have a down side when it is being used. When a Saiyan first attains Primal Power, they will go berserk." Austin crossed his arms.

"This Oozaru form must be some type of transformation that gives an increase in one's power, strength, and durability. In exchange for one's sense of mind, am I correct?" Cave gave out an hypothesis, which Austin nods to confirm her explanation.

"Right, The power of an Oozaru is so great, that the user will lose all sense of who they were and will run out of control. Aiden however manages to master the two states of the Primal Power, and his tail also helps with better control of the Super Saiyan 3 form." The girls (Including Rom, Ram, and Uni) returned their attention back to Aiden. The Mascot (Who was quiet during the past events) was impressed on how a Mortal could have this amount of power. Though, the part where Austin talked about Aiden using his tail for control bothered the Mascot. She knew that there was something else, a factor that he wasn't telling. She has the feeling that there's something there and something quite familiar.

'Can this Aiden person really be…?' The Mascot decided to worry about her thoughts later on to return her focus back on the battle.

"How… How did you move that fast!?" Underling yelled at Aiden, slowly getting back on her feet. Aiden turned his head slightly, so his eyes would be visible and giving Underling a calm stare.

"Like I said… I was holding back. I still have power that I'm not showing, in all honesty… I think Super Saiyan 3 is all I need to beat you and the mouse." Aiden grew a confident smirk, which made Underling even angrier.

"Ugh! I don't care if you still have more power or not, I'm not gonna lose to a screaming idiot like you again!" Underling grabbed her pipe from the ground and ran at Aiden, hoping to catch Aiden off guard by rushing him. Unfortunately for Underling it didn't go as planned for her; Aiden took out the Brave Sword and parried Underling's attack. He proceeded to attack Underling with the blunt side of the sword, each swing being much faster than the last. Aiden returns the Brave Sword on his back and delivers a Hook kick into Underling's abdomen. Underling spat out more saliva mixed with blood, before flying into a tree and snapping it in half because of the impact.

" *Falls onto the Ground* Damn it! Hey rat, why are you just standing there and looking like an idiot!? Aren't you gonna help me out!?" Underling yelled at Warechu, who was dazed by the display of power Aiden had shown. Warechu regained his senses and gave Underling a quick no gesture with his rounded mouse head.

"You crazy!? There is no way I'm going anywhere near that guy and get butt handed by him, Chu!" When Warechu yelled that out, an idea came to mind. If he teams up with this idiot, and manages to beat the guy with the long golden hair thanks to their power up from the fruit they ate. It might actually draw the attention of a certain "angel" and get her to fall for him.

'Yes! This might be the best plan ever, Chu!' A very concerning and questionable expression grew on Warechu's face, just looking at the expression he has would scare someone.

"Alright, I will help you, Chu!" Underling let out a grunt.

'Finally… I'm getting my ass kicked while this rat is standing around like a baby…' Undering got back on her feet, readying her pipe as if it were a bat. Warechu ran over to the Underlings side and put up his fists. Aiden stared at them and smirked, slamming his fists together and cracking his knuckles.

"Both of you coming at me together? Okay, I guess both of you coming at me can prove to be a good workout." Aiden gets into Vegeta's traditional Saiyan fighting stance. Everything was quiet again, anticipation of the atmosphere raised on who would make the first move. The wind started to pick up again, leaves flowing along with the soothing currents of air. A small sweat drop came down Underling's cheek. The drop would reach underneath her chin, soon it separated from her and dropped onto the ground.

-Cue: DRAGON BALL SUPER OST: Fierce Battle Against a Mighty Foe-

"Hmhp!" Aiden sends a more serious glare at both Warechu and Underling. Underling and Warechu subconsciously dodge for some reason, that reason revealed itself quickly as trees from behind the two were reduced into pieces. The two of them were shocked, but proceeded to go in and attack Aiden. Underling rushed for another swing and Warechu followed up with a punch. Aiden caught Underling's pipe with his right hand and quickly spun around in a 180 to elbow Warechu with his left elbow. Warechu gasped for air, but was immediately hit in the nose by the back of Aiden's left hand, sending the mouse flying on to the ground. Aiden returns his attention to Underling and swiftly disarms her of her blunt weapon. Before Underling could make any move, Aiden used a Jiu Jitsu technique called Ko Soto Gari, tripping her by using her own weight. Underling groaned as she hit the ground with her back, really hard.

"This is a shame… Seems like that power up you two got was nothing more but hot air." Aiden mocked the ASIC Grunts.

"Woah! They didn't even get a hit on him!" Ram yelled out in surprise. She hated to admit it, but this transformation could've been a problem for her and Rom.

"Aiden's become really, really fast." Compa said in awe.

"Why didn't he use this power back when we fought the Killachines?" IF asked, this form could've made things easier for them.

"Well, he has a disturbing hobby of holding back." Everyone (except for the Warriors) had a deadpan expression from the simple answer.

"Don't you mock me!" Underling ran at Aiden once more and threw punches that can be easily read by anyone. Aiden parried and blocked every blow that Underling threw at him, this would go on for a minute and most of it was due to him humoring Underling. Aiden decided it was enough and threw blows at Underling now. Aiden threw jabs, hooks, crosses, each blow being unrelenting. Aiden sends one more blow to her stomach, and finishes his attack with a Yama-zuki. Underling was sent flying, but Warechu flew towards Aiden to bring forth an attack of his own. The attack would never happen as Aiden whipped kicked Warechu in the face, sending him back on the ground.

-End DRAGON BALL SUPER OST: Fierce Battle Against a Mighty Foe-

"I-I don't understand… Why am I getting beaten around!? After eating that fruit, I should be powerful enough to beat you many times over!" Underling punched the dirt repeated in frustration, making a fist shaped hole.

"Seems like the fight is coming to an end, nyu." Broccoli leaned forward.

"It's simple really… You and your buddy have eaten a fruit that allowed you to cheat and gain power that isn't yours. Me and my friends have trained everyday to reach the level we are at... We forged and mastered our own power... While you never have, Linda…" Underling spat on the ground, fury boiling up from within her. She and Warechu manage to muster the strength to get back up.

"Now, it's time I show you the real difference between taking power, and training to gain it…" Aiden closed his eyes and steadied his breathing, a blue hue would slowly manifest around his body and float up into the sky. The clouds started to swirl in the sky again, but it was different this time as the clouds turned gold. Aiden was then covered by a blue aura and it would shine as bright as the sun.

-Cue: Dragon Ball Z Battle of Gods OST: Birth of a Super Saiyan God-

"What's happening now?" Uni asked as she covered her eyes from the bright blue light. Static forms around the blue light and the ground, but not causing any damage like the lightning did from earlier.

"Something that you would never think of…" Rhyel replied, looking at the light.

"So my suspicions were right…" The Mascot said out loud, catching the rest of the girl's attention. The surrounding land starts to have a golden hue to it, ripples of energy start to echo out from the blue light.

"What suspicions, Miss Mascot?" Compa asked.

"The energy that the boy is showing, I know this energy all too well…" Rom looks over to the Mascot.

"What is it…?"

"It is Divine energy…" The girls in the group were surprised, some wouldn't believe it.

"Divine energy? I thought only the CPU's and the Candidates would be able to have that kind of energy." IF said.

"Maybe here in your dimension… In ours, Divine ki can be achieved through divine training or ritual."Austin told the Girls.

"Why does this dummy have that type of power!?" Ram complained. Before anyone can say anything else, a hole would open up in the golden clouds. Everyone (except the Warriors of course) now had their jaws dropped in awe as the view of space was shown.

"W-What the Goodness!" Nepgear yelled out in shock, then the view of space began to change to a sunny sky, rain filled clouds, snowing, to night and kept repeating.

"Wow, it's like a show of every season happening at once." Red watched.

"I have never seen anything like this before…" Cave too, watched the changing sky. It then stopped with the sky covered in a golden light.

"Here it comes…" Noah brought their attention back on the blue light that has now turned into an orb. The orb began to swirl, anticipation grew once more as the orb began to fade away. The blue light dissipated and revealed Aiden with his hair back to its original length but it was red this time, as well his irises being the same red color, and his body was slightly skinnier now.

"I can't believe my eyes… Is that… Super Saiyan God…?" Isabella asked, as she looked at Aiden in awe.

"Yep, that's Super Saiyan God." Rhyel sat up and crossed his arms.

"I thought that was just all talk, besides the other transformations." IF said.

"Nope, everything that was told to you was all but true. Now, let's see how this fight is going to end." Jason smirked a little, Aiden landed back on the ground and stared down Warechu and Underling.

"T-The hell is this, I don't feel any energy at all but I can feel some intense pressure from him." Underling's hands start to shake, she balls her hands into fists.

"Now do you see the difference between us? This is the result of training and not relying on shortcuts that will lead you to power that doesn't belong to you." A red and orange aura that moved like fire spread around Aiden's body. Underling grit her teeth, she had enough of his attitude towards her.

"Oh just shud up already! I don't give a damn about your stupid ass training; training alone doesn't compare to that fruits boost or the big shots, and I'm gonna prove it right now!" Underling was ready to charge right back at Aiden and attack once more, but… everything went dark and a thud was heard. Underling was now laying on the ground, knocked out cold and was back in her normal form. Aiden was now standing above Underling, the group was shocked that Aiden closed the distance between him and Underling without anyone noticing.

"Woah! I didn't see what just happened, did anyone else?" Red yelled out to the group, thinking she was imagining things.

"N-No, I didn't even see him move at all… but he managed to get over to Underling." Nepgear blinked, also believing she was imagining things too.

"He moved alright, the reason why you didn't see him move is because his speed has increased." Austin summed up the reason.

"Amazing, his speed has increased by this much where none of us would be able to notice any movements…" Cave was impressed with the change of speed between Super Saiyan 3 and Super Saiyan God. Warechu (after seeing Underling get knocked unconscious) legs were shaking and his face had paled as Aiden towered over him.

"W-What are you g-gonna do-" Warechu was also knocked out with Aiden's fist smashing right into Warechu's face. Warechu stubbles around like a cartoon character for a good second, before falling over.

"Welp, I guess that takes care of that?" Jason raises an eyebrow towards Austin.

"Yea, it's over now." Austin let out a silent sigh, Noah walked right past Austin and went towards Aiden.

"I suggest you guys cover up your ears…" Rhyel told the girls, confusing them. However they did so anyway and were about to find out the reason why. Noah grabbed Aiden by his collar and Noah's eyes were covered in shadows.

"Uhh, Noah?" Noah slams Aiden against a tree, with his eyes flaming with fury.

"YOU IDIOT!!!!"

-Minutes of Getting Yelled at Later-

"My ears…" Aiden rubbed his ears, being in a little daze. Nepgear was in front of Aiden, making sure if he was alright.

"Well, we got the Mascot back… So we should probably head out before we run into any other annoying inconveniences." Rhyel suggested.

"Indeed, both Chika and Mascot are safe. I hope that this will be the first steps that will bring Leanbox back on the path towards order." Cave agreed with Rhyel's suggestion.

"Yeah, let's head back to the Basilicom…" Aiden was still rubbing his ears, he would stop when coming to a realization.

"Wait, what should we do about those two." Aiden points to the two unconscious ASIC grunts he was referring to.

"Just leave them behind some bush or something, we can let the monsters here handle those two." IF quickly answered, everyone immediately drew a look of shock at the guild member of Planeptune.

"What?" Compa put her hands on her hips and gave IF a tough glare.

"That's really mean Iffy, Mister mouse and Miss Underling may be a part of the ASIC... But they shouldn't be mistreated like that." IF rubbed the back of her own head.

"S-Sorry…" Aiden looks over to the other Candidates that are present.

"What about you three, are y'all gonna come with us?" Ram crossed her arms and glared at Aiden, spooking him a little.

"No way! We are not going to hang out with meanie's like you, let's go Rom!" Ram sticks her tongue out at the group and transforms into her CPU form. Rom was going to say something, but held back the urge too. Rom looks over to the group and waves them a goodbye; Rom as well transforms into her CPU form and takes off into the sky with her twin sister.

"Uni?" Aiden looks over to Uni, who nervously shifts around before giving her quick answer.

"S-Sorry, but I got something important to do. B-Besides, I w-work better alone… so, bye!" Uni transforms and flies back to the City in a different direction.

"Welp, so much for persuading them to join us…" Jason kicks a small pebble around at the failed attempt to persuade the other CPU Candidates.

"So, shall we get back to the Basilicom?" Noah asked everyone.

"Yes, we must inform Chika that we have secured the Mascot." Everyone looked over to Cave and nodded in agreement. The group moved out to the direction of the city, but the Mascot floated over to Aiden. Catching his attention, Aiden looked at the Mascot and asked "What is it?" in a calm tone.

"I only wish to give my gratitude to you." The Mascot said simply, Aiden chuckled and widened a grin on his face.

"It was nothing, I just wanted to help out!" The Mascot flickered a little, probably as a sigh of it being glad.

"I'm glad to know that we have the prophesied one to help end this evil." Aiden arched his eyebrows in confusion, before he could ask about the mysterious comment, the Mascot had already flown towards the every shrinking figure of the group. 'Again with the prophesized thing…' Aiden thought to himself, he needs to ask Historie if she has any insight on this "Prophesize one" stuff. Aiden quickly caught up with the others and made their journey back to the city.

-Leanbox (3:40 A.M.)-

"I can't believe you just went ahead and used that Super whatever 3 and didn't even consider the repercussions?" Currently Chika and Aiden were in a conversation, talking about the events that had transpired. The Basilicom was currently under maintenance, as well as the rest of the city.

"I'm sorry…" Aiden slump in nervousness and embarrassment, avoiding eye contact with a slowly growing anger from Oracle. Chika pinched her nose and continued, with her voice growing in volume.

"Do you have any idea how many people you could've got hurt?" Aiden slumped even more, sweating really crazy under the Leanbox's gaze.

"N-No…" As Aiden looked up, he swore that Chika's eyes were on fire for a minute before she started yelling at him about how many lives he put in danger due to his recklessness. The others could only watch Aiden getting scolded while the mature ones of the group could only feel that he really deserves this.

"Honestly, I don't know which is the bigger threat!? The ASIC and their antics, or you with your recklessness!" Aiden gave no response in defending himself, the only thing he could do was keep his eyes on the floor and scratch the back of his head. Nepgear walked over and rested one of her hands on Aiden, trying to cheer her up as best as possible. Cave and 5pb went over to help the raging Oracle of Leanbox to calm down. It took a good minute to get Chika to calm down; Now that she was calm, she went on to talk about some other important points.

"At Least the Mascot is now safely secured with us." Chika formed a convincing smile, to show that she has calmed down--even if it is a little. Nepgear walks over to Chika, in hopes of asking to bring the Mascot with them. She knew that they just saved it, but she still needed to ask.

"Yes, but… We were hoping that we could take the Mascot with you-" The next thing that would be spoken from Chika would take everyone by surprise.

"Sure, no problem." A long silence fell upon everyone in the messy Basilicom. The thought of 'Did she seriously say it was no problem?' going through their minds. Was she seriously passing what was the most powerful protection of their nation to a group of strangers?

"Eh…?" Was the only response they could get out, Compa was the first one to get out of the shock and voice her concerns.

"Is it really okay?" She asked, IF came out of her shock right after and looked Chika dead in the eyes. Just to make sure that she wasn't imagining this.

"Now hold up. You better not be another imposter, are you?" Chika smirked.

"Of course not. I however, do have one condition I request of you. You must save my precious darling Vert, post-haste!" Aiden gave Chika a thumbs up.

"You can count on us!" Nepgear nods in agreement.

"We won't rest until we save them." Chika looked at the both of them, even if she was still a bit angry at Aiden--she let out a small smile. Compa however, asked a question that gave some concern.

"Miss Chika, will Leanbox be safe without the protection of the Mascot?" Chika looks over to Compa.

"It will only be for a little while, no? I can handle everything here, while you all rescue my darling Vert. It's all for the sake of my priorities and my dearest sister is the top of the top!" The Oracle voiced loudly. Aiden and the other warriors look over to IF with the look of "Didn't Vert not have a sister?" and was responded by shrug from the Planeptune Guild Member.

"Oh, I see… If that's really ok with you, then…" Nepgear was then interrupted by IF, who also wanted to get the stares of the warriors off her.

"Does it matter? If you were to ask me, she's much easier to work with than the others by far." IF was right, Chika was indeed much easier to work with and maybe more reasonable? It didn't really matter, all that matters is that they got the green flag to bring the Mascot with them.

"If the Oracle allows it, then I see no issue with my departure. I shall accompany you all on your journey. After witnessing the power the ASIC has in their possession, I cannot allow these perpetrators off easy." The group would nod in agreement.

"Thank you!" Nepgear said. The Mascot then merges with Nepgear. The Planeptune CPU Candidate felt more power surge throughout her body. Aiden also felt a surge of power, this was really strange.

"Wait, I don't see 5pb. Where is that kid?" Chika and the group looked around the Basilicom, except for Cave who was standing still.

"Yeah, where did she go?" Said Isabelle.

"She's been hiding behind my back this entire time." Cave answered. Now getting busted, 5pb slowly pops her head out from behind Cave's right shoulder.

"H-Here I am...Hello…" 5pb slowly steps out, fidgeting from the attention that was now focused on her.

"Now that you're here, what I'm about to say involves you too, so listen up." Everyone listened carefully for what Chika was gonna say.

"ASIC's teachings have spread quickly while I was captive. We must take drastic action to reverse this." 5pb pressed her fingers together, nervously and trying to avoid eye contact.

"O-Oh, okay… So, umm, what does that have to do with me…?" she said shyly. Chika pridefully smirked, having total confidence in her plan--whatever it may be.

"I need you for my plan to work. We're going to hold a giant concert, and you'll be the headliner!" Her calm voice turned into enthusiasm, her eyes shined with a flame of pride as she pointed her finger towards the sky (Well, technically the Ceiling). Silence befell the group once again, processing what Chika has spoken.

"What…?"

-Leanbox Park / 8:30 P.M.-

"I can't believe that this is the plan… '' Isabelle currently had a deadpan expression on her face. The whole group stood within a huge ocean of a giant crowd and one that was continuing to get even bigger. Nepgear looked around, very shocked that there are a lot more people here than at the last concert.

"Goodness, look at this crowd…"

"I can see what Chika is going for. This could fix the ASIC problem in one go." IF said, figuring out Chika's plan.

"Almost like fishing, baiting the fish and waiting for the perfect moment to whisk them out of the water." Aiden compared, some of the group just looked at them.

"Did you seriously compare this to fishing?" Jason arches his right eyebrow upwards. Aiden gave a quick "Yup" back towards Jason.

"Well, this plan makes sense to me! It's also a concert with my Candidate wifey!" Red glammed with excitement, the group chuckled at the red-heads attitude. The yells of the crowd became louder as the star of the concert and plan stepped up onto the stage.

"Good evening, everyone! I'm glad that all of you made it tonight!" 5pb waved at the crowd, who in turn screamed even louder. Within the roars of the crowd, Broccoli looks over to three familiar faces of the CPU Candidates the group met up with not too long ago.

"What do you three think, nyu?"

"It's not like I wanted to come to this concert or anything…" Uni was obviously hiding her excitement of attending the concert. Rom and Ram had a different response for Broccoli.

"This is my first concert… I'm so excited… are you, Ram…?" Ram looked at her twin and smiled.

"Duh! We're gonna brag all about this to Mina when we go home!" Some of the members of the group would just chuckle at that attitude.

"Are you all ready!?" The crowd responds with a loud roar to 5pb's question. 5pb smiles, taking that as a yes and the concert begins. The plan was working extremely well, the crowd were taken in by the amazing symphony of 5pb's voice. It was strange but impressive that a shy girl can somehow change completely when she steps onto a stage and sings out all she has into her songs to bring joy to a crowd.

"Are you all having fun!?" The crowd screams "Yeah!" That answer made 5pb happy.

"Hearing that makes me happy! Before I sing my next song, let's make a special promise!" The crowd quiets down to hear what 5pb wanted to say.

"I've been able to put on these concerts and sing for all of you because of the CPUs watching over us. If you honestly do love me and my music, you'll love the CPUs too, right? Don't be fooled by anyone else who tells you otherwise!" The crowd roared loudly this time, sprouting out compliments and encouraging words about the CPUs.

"Goodness… The ground is shaking from their cheers…" Nepgear said.

"This plan is gonna be a big, happy success!" Half of the group looked at Compa. She probably just jinxed them badly and something bad was gonna happen. 5pb sang through several more songs, each one causing the crowd in excitement. The next move that was about to happen, would change the entire mood.

"Okay, that's it for me! Next up, we have very special guests. Leanbox's sexy boy band, Juniper!" On cue, a band of boys who were wearing questionable outfits that revealed a lot of their pecs and abs.

"Oh hi everyone. We're Juniper. We're here to sweep you sexy sillypants off. Although, we don't really care if it's boys or girls. Nobody is immune to our charms!" The boy in front (the main lead) declared in a voice that is akin to teens from the 80's. The group (mostly the men in the group) felt their spines stiffen. This was definitely a jinx…

"It's called equal opportunity, and we're gonna give both boys and girls our lovin'!" Just like the group, the entire and I mean… The "ENTIRE" crowd felt their spines stiffen and drop into a cold silence. Soon being followed up with the cries of an angered mob.

"THE HELL IS THIS!? GET OFF THE STAGE!!! WHO WANTS TO LISTEN TO YOUR CRAPPY SONGS!!!!" The crowd starts throwing food, trash, condiments, and (questionable) random tools and items. Juniper was pounded by the assault and tried to shield themselves with their instruments. Those that didn't have instruments… were on the floor of the stage.

"LEAVE, GET OUTTA HERE!!! GO GET AN ACTUAL JOB!!!!" The group slowly turned their attention to Compa. She smiles nervously and fidgets, knowing that she has jinxed them.

"OH HELL NO!!! IF I HAVE TO SUPPORT THESE GUYS TO LOVE THE CPUS, FORGET IT!!!" The crowd kept pounding Juniper with endless waves of items, some of the crowd was slowly breaking up and leaving the scene, unamused.

"Well this is just great, Chika's plan has completely backfired! Now what?" Jason exaggerated his complaint by throwing his arms in the air. The anger that was emanating from the crowd grew more and more, throwing a lot more items than before. Juniper kept shielding themselves, but were questionable enjoying it? 5pb got back up on the stage and in a panic, told Juniper to get off the said stage.

Backstage, Chika was questioning how her "perfect" plan had backfired. She had planned everything out from the beginning to the end of the concert, it should've worked. Where did she go wrong? What was the flaw? In the crowd, the group were getting thrashed around by the angry crowd. The Same couldn't be said for those who were smaller, they were shoved onto the ground.

"Eek! D-Don't push me, please...What should we do? Th-They might break into a riot at this rate!" Nepgear was pushed and lost her balance. Luckily for her, Aiden catched her just in time… the only damage she received were some bruises from the crowd and a blush threatening to redden her face.

"I wanna know why you would add pretty boys to an idol concert? Why would you throw in pretty boys in an idol concert, knowing that the crowd will mostly be made of Male Otakus?" IF provided the major flaw in Chika's plan.

"Outrage fans will hold grudges if this problem isn't quickly resolved." Cave calmly stated.

"Uhh, anybody got any ideas?" Asked Isabella, as she was still getting thrashed around. It was hard to think up anything as they kept losing trails of thought by being thrashed every passing second. The anger of the crowd grew more violent, some of them even tried to get onto the stage.

"I have an idea!" Nepgear announced.

"Great, let's hear it!" Aiden had to yell out, so he could be heard.

"Okay! Uni, Rom, Ram… you three are needed for this to work." Uni and Ram are taken back, Rom on her part had determination in her eyes.

"This better not be a waste of time, Nepgear." Uni gave Nepgear a stern look. As the Candidates grouped up, 5pb kept trying her best to get the crowd to come down. The introduction of Juniper must've done a very large blow to the crowd if 5pb wasn't able to calm them down.

"Ooooh, what should I do?" 5pb's face was pale, clearly showing that she was afraid of an angry crowd. Thankfully, the Candidates come up onto the stage.

"Leave this to us, 5pb!" Called out Nepgear.

"Nepgear? And the other CPU Candidates?" Uni looks at Nepgear as she and the other Candidates get into positions on the stages.

"This better work, Nepgear. The both of us are going to have a long chat if this makes me look like an idiot." The twin Candidates of Lowee, were brimming with confidence than the Lastation Candidate.

"Pssh! With how rad we are, we'll get all the shares easily! Am I right, Rom?" Rom had a light blush on her cheeks, but nodded in agreement with her sister.

"I'm embarrassed… But I'll do my best…" Nepgear walks up to the microphone that sat on the stand. Nepgear takes the microphone off the microphone stand and taps it, making sure it was working. Nepgear was sweating nervously, not sure if her plan would work or not--but she was determined to at least try. Nepgear took a deep breath to steady herself, swallowed a nervous lump in her throat, and soon brought out the courage to speak out to the crowd.

"U-Um, hello everyone!" The speakers that sat on the stage amplified her voice. The crowd's roar of anger fell silent, now having their attention directly on the CPU Candidate of Planeptune.

"I-I have an announcement to make!" The crowd mumbles and whispers to themselves, skeptical about the group of four girls who made themselves known on the stage.

"Now what? Who are these kids?"

"Do they really think they'll make any difference? This concert has been nothing but a total blow to my wallet!"

"What makes them think they can do better, huh? They might end up like that boy band from earlier."

"Woah, Woah, Woah. Hang on guys. Just look carefully. These girls are kinda cute, in a moe-blob way. Who are they anyway?"

"I hope you're talking about the teens and not the actual kids with them." There were many types of comments, some negative and some positive and some just remaining neutral. However, the comments from the crowd returned to slice as Nepgear started her announcement.

"U-Um… I'm Nepgear. I'm the CPU Candidate of Planeptune." Nepgear passes the microphone over to Uni, who was slightly blushing in embarrassment as well.

"I'm Uni, from Lastation. Y-You better stop leering at me, or I'll make sure you never see anything at all!" The crowd (and our group of heroes) deadpanned at Uni's introduction. Uni passes the mic over to Rom and Ram.

"Howdy everyone! I'm Ram, and this is my twin sister Rom! It's super cool to meet you all!" The energy that Ram gave off caused some of the people in the crowd to crack a smile.

"Uh huh…" Rom shivered, her shyness growing as she stood on stage in front of a huge crowd. The crow returns to mutter upon themselves, but with the realization of these girls being CPU Candidates.

"Wait, CPU Candidates? That means they're… They are imoutos! Damn man, that just makes these girls even cuter!"

"Oh shi-, look at the archetypes! We got the Tsundere, the polar opposite twins, and the girl from next door! I don't even- I- Hnnnnng!"

"Yeah! These girls are much more tempting than some ancient, crusty deity!" The crowd roared with positivity now that these Candidates have revealed themselves. However some fans were far more… excited for different reasons. The twins passed the microphone back to Nepgear, so she can give out one more announcement before they can begin her plan.

"U-um, we aren't pros but… I hope you'll enjoy us singing and dancing for you all!" Music played from the speakers, having a slow build up with the beat. The song then blasted with a loud start and the girls began to sing. The crowd was stunned by the loud start, but slowly began to dance with the beat. Soon, the crowd was screaming in excitement and dancing to the rhythm of the song and the Candidates voices. Even the group of heroes/warriors and 5pb couldn't help but dance as well to the song. Not even the Oracle could resist the urge of dancing a little, and was relieved that the Candidates were able to save the concert tonight. The song slowly came to an end, but the crowd still cheered for the Candidates.

"W-We did it… We did it Uni!" Nepgear jumped happily. However, Uni still had the same embarrassed expression, but it had more of a frown.

"Y-Yeah, but… they're calling out your name more than mine. I must have been too far back…" Uni grumbled.

"Hey! You better put your faith in Lowee, too! You hear me?" Ram yelled out to the crowd.

"Please believe in us…" Rom added quietly. Nepgear took the microphone off its stand again and gave the crowd a kind smile.

"Thank you for coming out tonight! I hope you'll continue to help us grow! Thanks again!" The crowd burst into supportive cheers for the Candidates. Aiden couldn't help but smile at this scene and be proud of the four of them, especially Nepgear. She was so afraid and hesitant when he first met her and after seeing her change during their journey, he could only feel proud of her.

-Leanbox Basilicom (10:00 P.M.)

It's been two hours since the concert ended, Aiden now finds himself standing on a balcony of the Basilicom. Uni and the twins returned to their nations after they accomplished what they came here for. The group were also planning to return to planeptune first thing in the morning, so they can plan what move they should make next. However, the announcement that 5pb was tagging was a surprise to everyone. Now everyone else was currently asleep and leaving Aiden to look out at the beautiful shining lights from the city.

"Aiden?" Aiden turned to meet his eyes with the familiar purple eyes of Nepgear. Nepgear was wearing pink-purplish pajamas and Aiden himself was just wearing his grey baggy pants and red tight gi shirt.

"Gearsy, you're still up?" Aiden asked, keeping one of his hands on the guardrail. A sad smile forms on Nepgear's face, as she averted her eyes away from Aiden.

"I… H-Had a nightmare about what happened back in the Gamindustri Graveyard three years ago…" Even after everything that has happened, she was still frighten about the opponent she faced and that opponent has definitely left an oppression on Nepgear. Aiden gave her a sad expression and tried to think of something to say.

"I-I should go…" Nepgear turned towards the door to leave the balcony.

"No wait… I would like to have some company." Nepgear looked at Aiden with a surprise expression, but soften as she walked over and stood next to Aiden. They stood in awkward silence, looking out towards the city and not even making eye contact with each other.

"Um… Nice night tonight, right?" Aiden scratched his cheek with his index finger.

"Y-Yeah…" Nepgear replied, but was metally screaming to herself that she messed up on continuing a conversation with Aiden. It became quiet again, the only noise that could be heard was the faint sound of vehicles moving around in the streets and the flowing of water from a nearby fountain. A thought came to Nepgear, a thought that she has been ignoring for quite some time.

"H-Hey, Aiden."

"Yeah?"

"H-Have you ever felt a strong feeling when you look at someone…?" Aiden turned his gaze to Nepgear, confused by what she meant.

"Come again?"

"I-I meant like, the feeling that makes you care for them… a lot more than a friend, as in that you feel like your falling for them." Nepgear looked into Aidens eyes, with a slight daze look in them. Aiden had a daze look himself as he locked eyes with Nepgear.

"Y-Yeah, I have recently…"

"O-Oh, than, ummmm… Y-You don't mind if I tell you that I…" Nepgear poked her fingers together, nervously.

"What is it?" Aiden asked quietly.

"I wanted t-to bring this up because… because… i-it's because I have fallen for you." Nepgear said quietly, but loud enough for it to be heard. Aiden's eyes widen, hearing that Nepgear had feelings for him. Nepgear looked down and her nervousness grew; she couldn't take her nervousness well and turned for the door.

"I-I'm sorry, I-" Nepgear never finished as Aiden gently grabbed her and turned her to face him, what came next shocked Nepgear incredibly. Nepgear was pressed against Aiden, looking up into his Onyx eyes and his dimly lit face. The seconds of staring at him felt like an eternity for her. Aiden slowly brought his face closer to hers, her face glowing red as he was now close enough where their noses could touch. Nepgear closed her eyes, barely handling how close he was and was expecting him to say something. However, she heard nothing but only silence and faint sound of cars. Nepgear slowly opened her eyes and was met with a shocking sight… She and Aiden were locking lips…

Lots of thoughts were now rushing through her mind, trying to figure out why this was happening. She wanted to move, but her body was refusing to do so. Her eyes were widen, but slowly closed as a strange feeling washed over. The thoughts in her mind dissipated and she gave into the feeling and returned the kiss. A minute flew by and their lips separated, so they can catch a breath.

"I'm glad, because I feel the same way." Aiden gave her a kind smile, making Nepgear smile as well with her cheeks still glowing red.

"Sooooo, I guess this makes us an item?" Aiden pressed his head against Nepgears.

"I-I believe it does, but… W-When should we tell the others?" Nepgear removed her head from Aidens. Aiden straighten his back to normal height, keeping eye contact with her.

"I think we'll tell them after we're done with the ASIC, okay?" Nepgear smiled and nodded.

"Okay." With that agreement, Aiden took her hand and held it. Nepgear giggled and both of them walked back inside the Basilicom to get some well deserved rest.
