Hyper Arc; White Story - Part 3; Anger of the Gods
After learning the truth from C-Sha, Alex and Blanc then find out that their conversation was overheard by Azna Leb and the Revolutionary Army. Causing them to take C-Sha into custody. Both Blanc and Alex plan to free C-Sha and fix everything.
The two quickly return to the hotel they are staying at to get Rom, Ram, and Seth. When they get to the floor with their room they see the guild woman at their door with a box in her arms.
"Oh there you two are! I brought up a package addressed to you both." She tells them and gives it to Alex.
"Us? I wonder who it is." Blanc says
"The sender is written as "Mina Nishizawa." The woman tells them and the two were surprised to hear their Oracle's name.
"From Mina?!" They say at the same time.
"Someone you know?" She asks them.
"Yes. You could say she's like family. We haven't seen her since she went on a trip a long while ago." Blanc explains and Alex opens the box containing a letter and a gemstone. Alex opens the letter and pulls out a note.
"To Lady Blanc, and Lord Alex. I still can't return over there for a while, but news of your efforts always reaches me. I'm sorry I can't be of help in such tough times. These are just my feelings, but I hope these items will be of some use. From Mina" Alex reads the letter and the two smiled.
"... Thank you, Mina. I've accepted your feelings." Blanc says happily.
"P.S. I found this gem to hopefully be useful for linking. For Alex there is something inside the letter you have been wanting and I got the last one just for you." Alex finishes with the last part and he pulls out a card in plastic to keep safe. "Mina, thank you. I'll use it with care. Right now I have to help someone in need." He pulls the card out and places it into his card box attached to his belt with his fusions.
A few days have passed as Alex and Blanc have told the situation with what happened with C-Sha.
"Come on, how long are we gonna stay like this? Let's just go to that guy, Azna Leb's place and rescue C-Sha already!" Ram exclaims wanting to go help C-Sha.
"Yeah, I want to rescue C-Sha, too…" Rom says agreeing with Ram.
"Oh, calm down, you two. I want to go save her just as much as you do, but we don't really have a way to do that…" Blanc tells them and Seth looks at Alex who looked distressed from what happened.
"Hey, have you heard? Apparently that criminal the Revolutionary Army captured is gonna be executed pretty soon." A man tells a woman close to where the 5 of them are at.
"You're talking about that woman, right? How horrifying. To think someone like her was in control and ruling over Lowee." the woman says frightened slightly.
"Blanc, do you think what they're saying is true?" Ram asks her sister which makes Blanc concerned.
"Unfortunately, it sounds like something Azna Leb would do. Hang on, C-Sha. I swear we'll save you." Blanc says, without a plan of action the 5 of them return to the hotel in their own rooms to refresh themselves by getting a bath. Once they gotten dressed Financier came into the room.
"Pardon me, Lady Blanc." She says
"Huh, Financier?" Ram asks, confused as to why she is here.
"Yes, it's been some time. I'm glad to see you're all doing well." the maid tells them as Alex is about to start up his duel disk.
"What kind of business do you have with us now? Another order from Azna Leb?" Alex asks her, slightly pissed off.
"No, nothing like that! I'm no longer connected to Sir Azna Leb." She explains to them. "Also, I've been entrusted with an important message from Lady C-Sha to you."
"No longer connected? And a message from C-Sha? What's going on?" Blanc asks slightly confused and Alex was also confused as well and Financier explains to them what is happening.
"Putting us on the wanted list?! Azna Leb, that jackass… he's gotta be kidding!" Alex yells out furious.
"Actually, Lord Alex, he does not appear to be kidding. I believe he is quite serious." Financier tells him.
"It's a figure of speech! Anyway we're going to go save C-Sha." Alex tells her.
"You mustn't, Lord Alex! If you rush out there to face that army without making preparations, you both will more than likely gonna be captured!" She explains to them and Alex growled in anger knowing she is right. "Lady C-Sha was very worried about you. In order to save her, you must compose yourself!" Alex and Blanc took a deep breath to calm themselves down.
"... I understand. We should prepare first, like you said, Financier." Blanc says to the maid.
"Thank you for understanding." Financier says and there was a knock on the door.
"Who's that? We have a lot of visitors today. The door is open, come in." Blanc says and the person is the woman from the guild.
"Blanny?! I'm so glad you're alright." She exclaims with a sigh of relief.
"You're from the Guild… what's the matter?" Blanc asks her.
"You don't know?! You and Alex have been put on the wanted list, Blanny. This poster just arrived." The woman shows the poster with both of them on it.
"This is our wanted poster? There's a reward listed and everything." Alex says seeing what is on it.
"I can't believe he's already made his move…" Financier says now worried
"That poster's been given to the Guilds in Lowee. Several strange people have already been asking us to update our list of quests at our own Guild." The guild woman explains.
"... are you here to capture us?" Alex asks her bluntly.
"I wouldn't come here to tell you this if I had such intentions. You're not the terrible person these posters make you out to be." She says truthfully.
"Yeah, of course! Blanc and Alex aren't villains, they are allies of justice!" Ram exclaims happily.
"Yeah, allies of justice…!" Rom says agreeing with Ram.
"You girls…" Seth says under his breath
"Yes, that's what I believe, too." The woman agrees with the twins.
"But what should we do? Even if we just stay here, if any other Hunters were to come…" Financier says
"We have to get away from here. Thank you for worrying about us, you two, but it's best you do not get yourselves involved anymore." Blanc tells the two. The two understood what they want, and the five escape through the back door.
"Hey Bro, what are we gonna do now?" Seth asks Alex
"For now we'll just have to find someplace to hide." Alex explains and Financier suggested using her place to hide at which was their only option and move quickly before they are found.
They were later readying themselves preparing to rescue C-Sha from execution, however they learned that monsters were attacking a neighboring town. This causes both Alex and Blanc to take action and head out to the fields.
"... Even I can tell this is too much for us." Blanc says once seeing the large group of monsters.
"But we can't afford to pull back now. We have to protect our home!" Alex says as Blanc transforms into White Heart and Alex summons Celtic Guardian. His warrior goes forward and slays the oncoming horde of monsters and White Heart attacks her section of the monsters. "... Tch! Just us alone against this many is gonna be damn tough after all. I just hope Financier and the others are doing alright…" Alex commands his warrior to continue fighting and lower the numbers of the monsters.
Meanwhile in the cell C-Sha is staying in her body was strangely giving out a dark aura mixed with red and slight bit of blue with it.
"I can hear people screaming… how nice… no matter where they run, it's no use…" She says to herself amused strangely. "There's no way they'll be saved when even the Hunters who are supposed to protect them have all fled… They'll realize who's been helping them all this time, as they're fading away, lying in a small pool of their own blood…" Suddenly the aura grew larger as if trying to be released. "Ngh…! It's overflowing more and more… more delusionary monsters will be born… I don't… care… what happens…" the aura starts growing larger with how negative she is acting.
"Lady C-Sha!" Financier spoke up
"That voice… Financier…?" C-Sha says confused as to why she is here.
"Thank goodness you're alright! The guards were gone, so I thought you might have been moved." She tells her.
"... Do you have business with me?" C-Sha asks
"I beg of you, Lady C-Sha. Please, help Lady Blanc and Lord Alex!" Financier begs her.
"Help Blanny and Alex? I don't get what you mean." C-Sha says confused.
"Both of them are currently fighting alone against the horde of monsters approaching the city!" Financier explains
"They are?! Why are they doing something so useless? They could flee and save their lives if they wanted…" She tells her.
"Lady C-Sha…" Financier asks confused at the response given
"I won't help. Why do I have to fight in order to protect this city's inhabitants?" She says negatively.
"What's wrong, Lady C-Sha?! To say such a thing…" Financier says as she couldn't believe what she heard.
"I have no intention of fighting for the people of this city. Everyone can fall prey to the monsters for all I care. It'll serve them right! All those idiots who don't understand just who fought for them, protected each one of them..." C-Sha says
"Why were you fighting until now, Lady C-Sha?" Financier asks her. "Weren't you fighting because you loved this beautiful nation of Lowee? If you love Lowee, then that must mean you love her cities, and all of her people there."
"It's true that I did love Lowee, but no matter how much I did, I…" C-Sha says with a sad express
"Have you properly conveyed your love?" Financier asks her. "If you don't properly voice your feelings, how can other people understand?" C-Sha was silent for a moment. "I think it's fine if your feeling of fighting for someone only goes one way. Even if it's a one-sided display at first, one day, they'll come to understand you soon. I truly believe it."
"... Do you think… that they will really understand?" C-Sha asks her, feeling uncertain about it.
"Yes, I'm sure!" Financier tells her

Back with Alex and Blanc, they dealt with a small group of the monsters. Alex has his Queen's Knight out on the field as he sadly lost Celtic Guardian, Silent Magician, and his Winged Dragon guardian of the Fortress.
"You assholes just only keep on coming, but we have our own will to live! King's Knight I summon you, come forth! With your special ability I call upon Jack's Knight!" Alex summons his other two knights and has the three Knights fight against a Fenrir. The beast did heavily damage Alex's knights, but luckily are still surviving and the knights did eliminate the monster. "Argh, shit, I guess this is what it's like to get mobbed by more than one of these enemies at once. At this rate I think my life counter might hit 0…"
"Oh, now you both just sound pathetic." a familiar voice spoke up.
"This voice…?!" White Heart says surprised as the person arrived.
"Hey there, you two." C-Sha says to them
"C-Sha?! Didn't you get caught?!" White Heart asks her.
"Financier came to save me. Well, I'll tell you about all that later. Right now, we need to get this mess sorted out." C-Sha explains
"Hah, talking so smooth even though you just got here. Weren't you in a cell, though? Can you just jump in so soon?" Alex asks as C-Sha's eyes have the gold tint.
"Who do you think I am? I'm the Hunter… No, I'm one of the Gold Third, C-Sha!" She exclaims ready to fight.
"Very well, let's get this underway! I start with Polymerization! I'll fuse King's Knight, Queen's Knight, and Jack's Knight to fusion summon Arcana Knight Joker!" Alex combined his warriors to bring out a warrior in black armor. "This time I'll join the fight!" Alex says as he combines himself with his new warrior wielding a large sword and shield. The trio readies themselves as a wave of monsters come they charge and fight off as many as they could however they start to get worn out from so many.
"Damn it, how many has it been now…?" White Heart asks annoyed and tired from fighting so much.
"I stopped counting about halfway." C-Sha says with an expression admitting she is getting worn out.
"Damn, I wanna keep going… but I'm starting to feel numb." Alex says as he leaves out of his knight. Then suddenly they hear something coming this way and see Rom, Ram, and Seth arriving along with a large number of Hunters charging into the horde of enemies. "What in the…"
"Hey bro! Glad to see you alright! Also is that a new warrior?" Seth asks his brother after noticing Alex's Knight.
"I'll tell you later, first off I use de-fusion to return my three knights!" Alex says as his Knight splits back into the three he had.
"Hey bro what are you doing?" Seth asks
"I'm doing this." Alex pulls a certain card from his hand. "now my three Knights I'll use your power to call upon my greatest beast!"
"What? What is he doing?" C-Sha asks confused of what Alex is doing.
"So he's gonna summon that huh? This should be interesting." White Heart says with a wide smirk on her as Alex has a golden aura surround him.
"Almighty protector of the sun and sky. I beg of thee, please heed my cry. Transform thyself from orb of light and bring victory in this fight. I beseech thee, protect our home. But first I shall… call out thy name. Winged Dragon of Ra!" Alex chants as a pillar of light surrounds him and he places the card with his three knights vanishing and a large orb appears and starts moving as it reveals itself as the Egyptian God.
Meanwhile in the other nations certain guys heard the cries of the Egyptian God and look towards Lowee.
"So he has used Ra once again?" Jeff asks knowing Alex would take a heavy risk
"Stay strong Alex, may your heart be strong for the fight." The three say at the same time whilst still in their own nations.
"Now my faithful companion, eliminate these monsters of darkness!" Alex commanded as Ra roared and shot a powerful blast at the large group of monsters which feared the great beast and tried to flee, but a large amount was eliminated by it's attack as the Hunters finished off any strays that weren't hit by the attack.
-End music-
"It looks like all of them are gone now." Seth says examining the area with E-Hero Neos on his side. "Glad that we got the Hunters here in time, right bro? Bro?" Seth looked at Alex still in the position with his hand out, as Ra started vanishing Alex started to lose strength in his legs. Before he could fall to the ground someone caught him having his arm over someone, he looked to see his Dark Magician to have caught him.
"... Thank you, I'm glad to have such a great companion." Alex says with a smile and everyone heads to the city as Blanc, Alex, and C-Sha were all carried there.
"It looks like the city hasn't been damaged. Thank goodness…" Blanc says with an expression of relief and Alex was happy about it also.
"We all work together to protect it, so I guess it makes sense." C-Sha says, everyone was happy with what they did but it was cut short when a certain someone showed up.
"Oh? Why if it isn't the prisoner and the wanted criminals over there." Azna Leb says
"Azna Leb! Where have you been hiding?!" C-Sha asks him as if saying he hid like a coward. He replied 'Where?' acting innocent. "Why are you acting like that? You were the very first one to run away!"
"I do not know what you're implying. Besides, who would believe words from a prisoner?" He asked while still acting innocent which C-Sha growled angry at him. "Now, Hunters, capture these criminals." he ordered them, but they didn't do a thing except stare at him. "Well? Why won't anyone capture them? They're the ones responsible for tarnishing Lowee's fine name!"
"That's not true! At the least, Lady Blanc, Lord Alex and the others love this city more than you, coward!" Financier exclaims
"What are you saying, Financier? There's no existing evidence that I ran away…" Azna Leb retorts but a guy from the army walked into the conversation.
"I'll testify to that then!" He shouted and Azna Leb recognized the soldier. "Azna Leb said it didn't matter if this was destroyed or if the people left or not, as long as he was safe!" The people were dumbfounded to hear this.
"I-It's nonsense! This man is an associate of those criminals!" Azna Leb tries to cover the truth but is panicking.
"He's the one who arranged for Blanc and Alex to be placed on the wanted list!" The army soldier continued and Azna Leb was furious.
"Sir Azna Leb tried to execute Lady Blanc, Lord Alex, and Lady C-Sha, all for his own greed! Those three were innocent!" Financier added.
"S-Silence! Who do you think I am?!" Azna Leb asked
"The god who created the License System?" C-Sha said and Azna Leb was left in shock to hear that. "You must have a pretty deep connection with the nation if you knew that I was the ruler of Lowee. Putting aside whether you created the system or not, there's a high chance you know who did." The Hunters surrounded him as he tried to get out of their grips and Alex walked over to him as his arm is covered similar to the arm of Obelisk and he does a powerful gut strike at Azna Leb causing him to cough out blood as the Hunters still had a hold on him.
"Y-you actually hit me!" Azna Leb exclaimed in shock.
"Yeah, I did hit you. So what? The citizens of Lowee aren't weak! They don't need your damned oversight. I don't wanna see your ugly face ever again!" Alex said to him seriously pissed off and from Azna Leb's vision he saw behind Alex the figures of the three Eygptian Gods staring down at him which puts fear into him. The Hunters then take him away and Alex let out a deep sigh of relief. Then C-Sha announced herself about why she never showed herself and also apologized to the citizens and asked them to accept her as the leader, they were quiet for a moment then agreed for this to be a thing. Seth was worried to leave it to C-Sha, but Alex decided to let it be since it would be best not to force the people to remember them anyway while everything was peaceful as it is. However something strange was coming from C-Sha and Alex felt the strangeness and saw her run in such a hurry. "This feeling… it definitely isn't Jexon's doing…"
"Bro… what's happening with C-Sha?" Seth asked, a bit confused.
"I'm not sure… however I just felt something just coming from her, it might be about that fog." Alex assumed while he's worried about C-Sha.
"Where do you think she's headed to?" Seth asks
"That is what we need to find out, she moved so fast I don't think we'll find where she is…" Alex tells him and they go to the guild to see if they can get info where C-Sha went to and what they found out is that C-Sha went to the Golden Summit. The group makes their way to the entrance of the place.
"Wow, this thing is gigantic! How tall is this thing?!" Seth asks in amazement.
"Agreed, but we can't waste time here…" Alex says and the 5 of them enter the tower and once inside the place looks like they are in space.
"What is this space? I've never seen anything like this before." Blanc says amazed how the inside of the Summit looks.
"I can feel some kind of strange power emitting from deep inside here." Alex says when suddenly from his and Seth's decks their favorites appeared. "Wha? Dark Magician?! Why did you appear?"
"Neos? What's going on?" Seth asks
"I'm not sure, but I believe inside this place had automatically summoned us." Neos explained and the two brothers looked at each other confused.
"Whatever the case, we should continue forward and find C-Sha." Alex says and the 5 of them head onward through the place and reach to the area where they find C-Sha looking to be struggling against something. "C-Sha! Are you alright?!"
"... Hey, Blanny, Alex. Sorry to make you both worry." C-Sha tells them while still struggling against something.
"If you really cared, you wouldn't have run off without saying anything!" Blanc says to her.
"Ha, yeah… alright, good point. I destroyed the crystal in this tower that's the source of my strength in order to prevent this, but… I'm in a sorry state..." C-Sha explains
"So that's it, that does make sense why it is Golden." Alex summarized
"I should have sealed my power, but it's overflowing from deep within me and it can't be suppressed… it's going to overtake me…" C-Sha explains as they now see the strange fog starting to get released.
"You can't give up! We'll save you!" Ram exclaimed to her.
"Leave healing to me…" Rom tells her.
"I'm grateful, but this isn't something that can be fixed by healing. It's too late for me. Even now, I just want to fight against Blanny and Alex so badly, it's unbearable. It's taking all I have to suppress this urge. So, please, you two, while I'm still holding myself back…!" C-Sha tells them then she screams like she is in pain and a burst of darkness explodes out of her body, she then takes a fighting stance surrounded by a dark aura and Alex notices her golden tint eyes.
"What just happened to her?!" Seth asks Alex as he can feel something from his deck giving off a vibration and he looks at his deck and realizes the three god cards are somehow reacting to C-Sha.
"I can feel the anger from the God Monsters…" Alex said out loud
"Their anger? What do you mean by that?" Seth asks and Alex looks at C-Sha with a serious expression then he turns his head to his Magician and nodded, having his magician combine with him.
"Whatever happened to C-Sha is giving me a signal that we have to stop whatever has happened to her." Alex tells Seth, Blanc agrees and transforms into White Heart. The twins agreed and also transformed as Seth fused with Neos. "Alright, C-Sha? Prepare yourself, we may not know how… but we will save you!" Alex yells as he pointed his staff at her.
"Oh, you dare challenge me…? No matter. It's always fun to kill a god! You will feel the pain of my Surge of Delusion!" C-Sha says, which Alex wondered if it wasn't her, but someone controlling her.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm gonna bear the burden of all your darkness!" White Heart tells her as the five ready themselves for a showdown.
-Play Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep Final Mix ost Hunter of the Dark-
The battle starts with C-Sha aiming her arm cannon at the group and fires multiple blasts, the group dissembles into different directions and Alex aims his staff firing a Dark Magic attack straight at her which she aims and fires destroying the attack. She didn't have time to block Seth flying at her with a kick knocking her away, she turned to see White Heart coming at her and barely dodged the swing of the Axe.
"Unskilled fools! Did you believe you would have better odds if you faced me as a group?" C-Sha asked taunting them and she saw an incoming attack from the twins as they encase her in ice, however her strength was enough to break it and collide punches with Seth but he gets blasted by her. Which leaves an opening for Alex to aim and hurt C-Sha. "Fool! Taste my power!" C-Sha leaped into the air about to launch a very powerful blast straight at Alex.
"Not when I activate my trap card that I have set!" He shouted and brought out the Magic Cylinder, when C-Sha launched her attack absorbed into the first one. "And it will redirect it back towards you."
"Good luck trying!" C-Sha tells him but when she tried to move she looked to see that Alex activated his Spellbinding Circle.
"You were saying?" Alex taunted and C-Sha gritted her teeth as he fired her own attack at her causing major damage to her. "Now Blanc!" he shouts to her and White Heart starts her Hard Break skill as she slammed her axe to the ground causing an attack to hit C-Sha from below, White Heart spun around then threw her axe hitting C-Sha doing damage. White Heart then grabs her axe leaping into the air and slams it down doing a very powerful blow straight at C-Sha knocking her down.
"Have you come back to your senses yet?" White Heart asked breathing heavily from using too much strength for her attack.
"... I've erred. To think I would be so cornered… Still, you have good fists. This is truly a battle to the death!" C-Sha exclaims showing that she is still under control by someone.
-End Music-
"Tch, this still isn't enough? Dammit, how long are you gonna be like this, C-Sha?!" White Heart says upset. "There are lots of people in Lowee who are worried and waiting for you to return!"
"She's right C-Sha, you have to remember what you did for everyone!" Alex exclaims to her.
"That's right! Let's play games together again!" White Sister Ram tells her.
"I want to play with you again, C-Sha…!" White Sister Rom says
"I am Delusion itself! Strife is stronger than words! Now, let's fight until either perishes!" C-Sha says still in the mood to continue.
"What are we gonna do? She is still not herself!" Seth turns to Alex who is gritting his teeth trying to think of a way to knock some sense into C-Sha. The twins tried talking to her a bit more until Alex and White Heart heard the word "doodling".
"... Hm? Wait… doodling…?" White Heart asks confused.
"We all doodled on Blanc's novel script together, C-Sha. Don't you remember?" White Sister Ram asked and the two then realized how her book was broken into.
"Seth…" Alex said his brother's name with a tone sounding really angry and Seth had the feeling he was in trouble. "Were you also in on unlocking the case with the book?"
"Well… I uh…" Seth stutters knowing how Alex and Blanc get when their novels are drawn on.
"That was going to be the masterpiece we worked so hard on… and thanks to the four of you, our work is ruined!" Alex shouts out now seriously pissed off like Blanc is with her sisters. That gave the signal for Seth to run for it and Alex chased after him. C-Sha was dumbfounded that this was happening and distracted which gave Alex an opening. "Gotcha! Slifer! Thunderforce!" At that moment in the depths of the space inside the tower Alex had summoned Slifer the Sky Dragon and fired an attack at C-Sha full force and knocked her down.
"Owwww… Did you really have to hit me like that? And with an Egyptian God…" C-Sha asked and her tone sounded like her normal self.
"... C-Sha, you alright?" Alex asked her.
"Is that something you'd ask a person you attacked?" C-Sha asks him, as she is rubbing the back of her neck. Blanc returned to her normal self as the twins did as well.
"I had no choice, we were trying to bring you back!" Alex tells her.
"All of you… I'm so sorry for worrying all of you." C-Sha apologizes to them.
"Why didn't you just ask for help?" Blanc asks her
"It'd be wrong of me to burden you, so I thought it'd be fine if I endured it. But I never expected this to happen." She explained to them.
"Geez, you could at least tell us if something goes wrong. If you tell us when you are going to release that delusion power that creates delusionary monsters, all we gotta do is defeat them." Alex tells her and the twins as well as Seth agreed.
The group made their way back to Lowee, then Blanc and Alex brought up the thing with their novel which the four quickly made a run for it getting away from the two. While things were at peace for now Alex had wondered what happened to C-Sha when she was under someone's control. He hoped that the others might have a few answers similar possibly, he just had to wait until the time to gather together arrived.
