Hyper Arc; Final Chapter; Engage invasion on AffimaX! Unleash the Power of Next Form!
Last time, everyone has now gathered together for the final charge. The path is set for the group to head towards the base of AffimaX, can they defeat the leader Affimojas and return the world back to the way it was? It is time to head forth warriors of Gamindustri, fight to bring peace!
The group of 20 arrive at the mountainside where above floats the giant battleship possibly of where AffimaX's base is. Ruby and Kaylin carry Jeff and Tempest, Neptune carried Selena, Nepgear carried Adam, Noire carried James, Uni carried Noble, Alex summoned his three Blue Eyes White Dragons, one with him and Seth, the second with IF and Compa, the last having Isaac and Mark, with Blanc, Vert, Rom, and Ram to fly on their own and into the Hanger of the ship.
"So we infiltrated the base, now we better start searching for where the leader is." Isaac says. "It's a pretty big area so let's go in two groups, the eight of us along with IF and Compa." Meaning the CPUs and Protectors together. "The rest of you are the second group, let's map up the area and find the way upward." Everyone agreed and split into two groups searching inside the large battleship. The strange thing is that they weren't being stopped by any of the members so soon like they would expect. Most paths were dead ends inside the ship so it made it difficult to navigate through the first section, once they got through a door to the second section having to gather together.
"I've been waiting." A familiar voice spoke up.
"I know that voice all too well. We know who you are, so how about you just show yourself? I may not smell where you are, but my hearing is better than you think." Jeff says and the familiar Ninja Steamax revealed himself. "Long time no see Steamax, I may not have gotten the chance to battle you. However I came here to obtain what you took from us!" His hands light on fire and the other three walk forward. "I learned that you have a hard time with talking with females, so I want you to give it everything you got against the four of us!" And with that now that the Protectors have their new devices they can change the battle arena to a large island with a huge amount of space.
"Allow me to name myself properly. I am the shadowy right-hand man of General Affimojas, leader of AffimaX. I am Steamax! I will destroy all who bear ill will towards us, even if they are Protectors!" He declares, now fully prepared for battle against the four Protectors.

The battle starts with Isaac charging and clashing blades against Steamax as James leaps into the air and throws a fire blast at him. Though Steamax saw the attack coming and backed away as Isaac jumped back avoiding the fire. Steamax then throws his large shuriken at James which he is wide open in the air, however Alex summons one of his warriors to take the hit instead. Isaac readies a bomb arrow and releases it, however Steamax uses his katana and slices the arrow in two, as his shuriken returns onto his left arm automatically and blocks an incoming punch from Jeff.
"Fire Dragon's Talon!" He then goes for a kick, although Steamax backflipped away dodging the sweep. James and Isaac charge forth and clash blades multiple times against Steamax. Though he did a sneaky disappear act and struck James from behind.
"Damn, lucky shot." James grunted from the sneak attack. He uses his super speed to knock Steamax and have Jeff toss a Brilliant Flame causing a powerful explosion. The smoke cleared but Steamax was still standing with some burnt spots on him, Steamax dodged Alex's warrior and then he swung his katana at Alex's warrior which drops Alex's warrior's HP to 0 and makes it disappear.
"Ok you are better than you look, so take a look at this one. Come forth Magician's Valkyria!" Alex summons a spellcaster. The spellcaster fires some magic at Steamax and Isaac shoots a bomb arrow having the two make contact and explode. Jeff consumes the fire from the explosion and deals a powerful punch and sends him flying and lands on the ground.

"Regrets…" Steamax says getting back up only to fall to one knee. He was still willing to fight back against the group even if it costs him his life. The girls suggested that they might have to dismantle him and his reaction to hearing that made him worry until a gunshot was made hitting him and falling to his back. They look to see Uni has done it, she says that she used a tranquilizer on him and they look back at Steamax sound asleep supposedly. Noire scolded her for the sudden action, though everyone decided to leave him and go on ahead. Jeff stopped looking down at Steamax still asleep and then back at Uni, she saw his look realizing that he isn't fooled easily. Although he didn't want to get involved as to why she did it and let her talk to Steamax for a bit.
The group continued through the maze of inside the ship until they arrived at the bridge of the ship, noticing at the controls of the ship there is a large Person or Machine in fancy like armor with silver, gold, blue colors, and red light trims. With any guess they believe this guy is Affimojas.
"Gwa ha ha ha ha! So, you've finally arrived!" He says to the group as the main eight step forward in a line facing him.
"General Affimojas, am I not right?" James asks him ready for a fight.
"Indeed. I am the leader of the top secret organization, AffmaX… General Affimojas!" He says to the group.
"I knew the leader of this organization would be no ordinary person, but what is this aura?" Vert asks
"He's way more hyped up than that moody ninja from earlier…" Blanc estimates
"Whatever it is, I think it's about time we start to settle this here and now. Today we crush AffimaX and return the world back to how it was!" Jeff says clashing his fists fired up for a fight.
"I will not allow it! A peaceful world will make me no usable profits! It's useless!" Affimojas explains, as the group now understood why the world was changed.
"Profits? So you changed the world just so you can get yourself pockets of cash?!" James asked in disbelief
"That's right. Money is everything! A world stained in delusions is a money-making machine! An endless fountain of cash!" He exclaims. "I will eliminate anyone who says they will block the flow of my fountain!"

"If that's how it's going to be, then we're going to have to go all out from the start!" Alex says as the 4 CPUs transform, the Protectors ready themselves and Alex summons his Magician to fuse with.
"Hmph, even if you all transform, the amount of Share energy you're able to receive is nothing but a few drops in the bucket." He tells them pulling out his sword sounding pretty confident of how it will end.
"I'd like to see you try! We all started from zero, but we worked hard to gather faith from the people." Isaac explains. "We will show you what we've worked so hard for!" The battle starts with the Protectors using their new devices to create an arena to fight against Affimojas, the first move was made by Jeff going with a punch which hits and knocks him back. But it seemed like he didn't take damage from the attack which he laughed about.
"As long as I possess this impenetrable cape, no blow or bullet will hurt me!" He says making that his first mistake in battle.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" Jeff shouts as he throws streams of fire hitting Affimojas from the front and does hurt him. "So you say, but it looks like Element attacks will most likely harm you!" He explains and the General groaned knowing that was true. James uses some of his powers which work as Affimojas swung his sword at him which James blocks with the sword Isaac gave him to use.
"I guess it is a good idea to have a way to fight besides using my fists." He says holding his ground with the struggle against the General until Purple Heart flies at his back with her sword ablazed by Jeff's fire and strikes damaging the cape. Green Heart uses some wind based attacks doing some damage to it. Both Black Heart and White were gonna attack from behind, but Affimojas was not gonna let it happen. So he knocks James away and swings his sword at the two blocking their attack however James and Isaac launched a fire blast and fire arrow at the cape which they can see is horribly damaged now.
"Dark Magic attack!" Alex launches a dark ball at the cape which completely destroys it now.
"Rrrgh! It is not over yet!" Affimojas says now vulnerable to their attacks now. Jeff takes the moment and does a full powered punch smashing him into the wall of the arena, James and Isaac charge forth together with their bodies glowing as they pull off a duo combo skill with James shooting three ice blasts and Isaac shoots a Lightning arrow doing electrical damage. Alex uses the Magic Formula spell to power himself and fire off another Dark Magic attack, but this time the General blocked it. But didn't expect Each CPU to strike with their unique Skill, Black Heart using Infinite Slash, White Heart using Hard Break, Green Heart using Spiral Break, and Purple Heart using Neptune Break, all four attacks overwhelmed Affimojas.
-End Music-
"Looks like we won this fight." Isaac says looking at the General who is on one knee currently.
"General, you made a huge mistake by trying to take us all on by yourself." White Heart tells him.
"Now you'll return the world to normal now. We will also be taking back the console that you stole from the Basilicom." Jeff tells him
"I suppose my time of reckoning is at hand…" He admits seeing that he can't take on all of them.
"You've given up pretty easily. I thought that greed would've fueled a few more battles." Black Heart says when suddenly.
"... Or so you thought I'd say!" He swings his sword at the eight causing a strange energy wave to hit them. This caused them to feel weakened and fall to the floor with their bodies numb." Gwa ha ha ha ha! I've defeated the CPUs and their Protectors!"
"What just happened? It was just a sudden strike… but why can't I gather any strength?" Isaac asks.
"Have our Share energy's been… cut off...?" Alex asks as the strange energy forced his Dark Magician to defuse from his body and disappear.
"I was a bit unconvinced, but to think this gem embedded into my greatsword has this much power hidden within…!" He says and the others see a Dark Red glowing gem in the center.
"That light… could that gem possibly be?!" Nepgear says in shock seeing it.
"Do you know what that is, Nepgear?" Uni asks her.
"I'm pretty sure that light is the same as the one that Arfoire had around her in the Zero Dimension, as a counter to share energy!" She explains
"And that light has the power to cancel our shares!" Adam finishes as the younger siblings back away making sure to stay far away.
"That's why Nep and the others went down with just one attack." IF says understanding the situation.
"I can't believe he has that gem…" Adam growls of how they are at a large disadvantish.
"It can't be helped. Arfoire is one of his allies, it makes sense that he has access to it." Selena tells them.
"That kind of cheat item is… most cowardly…" Isaac says to the General as he laughed about it.
"What happened? Where did your fighting spirit run off to?" He taunted the group of eight who are showing their pained/angered expressions. "Look and see! The CPUs and their Protectors have come to naught! They are as weak as mere children now! CPU and Protector Candidates, return home and deliver this message!" He turns to the younger siblings. "The CPUs and Protectors have been defeated by General Affimojas, and are now in my custody! But I wouldn't be so cruel as to take their lives! If you wish me to return them, then prepare a ransom of 1 gajillion credits per person!"
"You're offering a trade just to obtain more money?!" James asked him, disgusted at his objective.
"That is correct! CPUs and Protectors without power are nothing more than profitable tools!" He replied to his question. "Compared to previous world prices, your values have lowered, but to those who need you, you still hold quite a high value."
"That's not even possible to gather and prepare a Gajillion Credits! Especially for eight times!" Tempest says to him.
"Don't speak to me this way… You WILL prepare them immediately!" He demands.
"I can't believe we're being used like this… just for money… this is humiliating…!" Black Heart says annoyed. Also he explained that from the start he has been using an account to summarize half-truths about both CPUs and Protectors, though Gold Third replaced them and made it difficult.
"From now on, you can watch from here as the world is swallowed by a vortex of delusion, as it burns in turmoil!" Affimojas says laughing proudly until.
"Sorry, but that isn't going to happen." A familiar voice spoke up and everyone turned to see all of Gold Third having just entered the scene.
"Who's there?" The General demanded.
"If we borrowed your words… I guess you could call us the spectacle that is the Gold Third." C-Sha tells him.
"Hmph, even if you were to assist them now, you will not be able to stop me! Or… perhaps… Have you brought the ransom for the CPUs and Protectors?" He assumed.
"That's right!" B-Sha says suddenly, in which everyone was dumbfounded. "One gajillion credits is super cheap."
"The hell are you saying? One gajillion credits is "super" cheap?!" Adam questions if she is sane or not.
"Well, after all, I have a debt to Nep-Nep that even one gajillion credits couldn't cover!" She says.
"Take this, CPUs." S-Sha says revealing a Share Crystal surrounded with pieces of gold crystals.
"Is that… a Share Crystal?!" James asked in shock.
"This isn't any old Share Crystal! It was created by combining the shards of our Gold Crystals. It's called a Hyper Share Crystal!" B-Sha explains and they could see it holds tremendous amounts of power.
"We wanted to give you our strength in our own way, so we gave them to Histoire to make it." C-Sha tells them.
"The faith in the CPUs, Protectors, and Gold Third… The entire world's faith dwells in that crystal!" K-Sha says
"Shares are prayers and wishes. If you can convert them into usable energy, then you can essentially create miracles." S-Sha explains.
"Of course, it's worth is totally priceless! Go ahead! Use it! Go all out!" B-Sha tells them, the four CPUs reached for it. They felt power flow through their bodies and a bright flash of light blinded them as it was like they were transforming. Once the light had died everyone could see the four had serious new looks.
"Whoooooooa…" The four guys were in awe seeing the new looks to the CPUs.
"W-What are those forms?!" Affimojas asked, demanding an answer.
"They're looking amazing, they have broken to a new limit of power." James exclaims seeing Black Heart having changed greatly.
"it's not just any old power up! They've evolved from the wishes of the entire world! So, in other words… It's the ultimate evolution of the CPUs! This is their Next Form!" B-Sha explained.
"Next Form… This is our new power…" Next Purple Heart says looking at herself truly amazed at their new levels of power.
"Amazing, amazing, amazing! Power is overflowing from my very core!" Next Black Heart says enjoying her new power.
"This strength… I don't feel like I could lose." Next White Heart says pumped with excitement.
"I can feel strong wishes within this power. Everyone believes in us, and desires our presence in their lives as CPUs." Next Green Heart says and reaches a hand to Isaac. "Come Isaac, let us finish this together." He was still amazed at her new power, though blushing because she is barely covered. He takes her hand with a grin.
"You got it Vert, I'm not going down easily." He says standing up as in his other hand the Blade starts having a Gold Glow to it, like having been empowered from the Gold Crystals. "The Master Sword, it reacts to the Golden Power it must have absorbed. Let's fight."
"How about it Alex? You feeling ready for another round?" Next White Heart asks him, reaching a hand for him as well.
"Yeah, I am! Let's show the power of Lowee's CPU and Protector!" Alex says as he stands up and from his duel disk three cards shined Red, Blue, and Yellow flying out of the deck and straight into his body. After that he gains armor mixes of the Three God Cards, his arms and legs are resembling Obelisk, he has a chestplate resembling Slifer, he gains a helmet and wings resembling Ra. "All three Gods are giving me their power, then I'll show what we can do together!"
"James, I think you should show everyone what you are made of!" Next Black Heart says and James takes her hand also.
"Agreed, now time to show my latest project!" He says opening his menu and armor parts appeared and strap onto his body, and the last part is a helmet. "This is my new invention, the Power Armor!"
"It's your turn to stand up Jeff." Next Purple Heart says having a hand out for him. "Show your strength as a Dragon Slayer and prove your strength."
"You know I will do so!" He says grabbing her hand. When he does that sudden purple flames with a gold aura surrounds both their hands and swirls around Jeff's body. "These flames…" He cups a flame that is surrounding him and eats it up, he continues eating the flames until he lets out a heavy breath of consuming the flames. He then punches the floor and the area changes to a large colosseum with an actual crowd.
-Play Fairy Tail OST Dragon Force-
"What the?! What has happened?!" Affimojas asks seeing Jeff slowly getting up and on his lower arms, around the edge of his face, he has dragon scales grow on him.
"Whenever a Dragon Slayer consumes an element with enormous amounts of power, it unleashes their most devastating form…" Selena says, and Jeff turns to Affimojas looking extremely mad. "The Dragon Force." After she said that Jeff instantly goes in and deals a heavy blow straight at the General's face then goes for a kick in the stomach. The General swings his sword at Jeff who leaped over it and throws a punch right at the center of his sword destroying his target.
"Impossible! He destroyed the gem with just one punch?!" He asks in disbelief. Though that distraction gave Next Purple Heart the chance to attack with a powerful slash attack. She flips dodging a swing of his sword and strikes from behind, at the same Jeff sets himself up close.
"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" He launches a powerful explosion with his attack knocking the General a far distance and in the air slightly. However he doesn't hit the ground as James sped under him and with enough force he launches him higher into the air. Next Black Heart flies into the air straight at him and slashing him from multiple angles and dodging his swings. At that moment James jumps grabbing Affimojas' arm and throws him back down towards the ground which he slams there and Alex flies at him with a powerful punch strike.
"Feel the strength of the Eygiptian Gods!" He flies around him dealing punches and launches both Thunder force and Blaze Cannon onto him causing massive damage to Affimojas!
"I'm being… overwhelmed…" He quietly says and Next White Heart slams her axe weapon and smashes him into the wall. "These warriors… they have chosen ones… with immense power…" He notices Isaac charging towards him and clashing blades. However Isaac ducked and jumped as he pulled his bow out and launched three bomb arrows at the General. Next Green Heart took this chance to strike and thrusted her spear multiple times. As he was being overwhelmed Jeff notices a dark aura around him feeling the negativity empowering him, he had to wait for the right moment as James tossed him into the air and the 4 CPUs flew at him and used their combined strength and knock him down as James, Alex, and Isaac all struck at the same time once he landed to the ground. "Curse you all! I will not allow this!"
"It's over Affimojas, this shall be the final strike." Jeff says pulling his fist back and surging it with flames going to unleash a devastating attack.
"Whoa Jeff wait!" James shouted to him, but he was too late as Jeff moved forward with his plan.
"Fire Dragon King's… Destruction Fist!" Jeff lands the punch as a large blast of flames bursts right at the General, which also caused the Augmented arena to disappear and blow the front of the battleship causing it to fall and crash onto the mountain it was above.
-End Music-
There was no movement for a while as everyone stared in shock of what Jeff just did. The smoke surrounding the two starts to clear as they see Jeff still in the stance when he threw his punch. Everyone also notices Affimojas greatly damaged from the powerful attack.
"I have… fallen…" He says as he falls backwards and lands on his back no longer with the dark aura surrounding him.
"General!" Steamax says in shock as he has seen what happened to him running to where the General lies unconscious.
"Relax… he is only unconscious." Jeff explains to him and Steamax turns to him. "I only targeted a dark aura surrounding him, which is what corrupted him in the first place. I could also notice what happened between you and him… his friendship with you, it could never be broken. He was only worried about you and wanted you safe from harm." Jeff turns to Steamax. "Never give up on your friendship… everyone deserves to have a friend."
"Thank you Lord Jeffrey, I promise to not give up on the General. He is my closest friend." Steamax tells him. Jeff smirks and starts walking to get out of the battleship, and everyone else follows him back towards Planeptune. The four CPUs returned to normal form after using a lot of power in the fight. While they were walking through the city the people there started calling out to them by their names. This put a shock look on everyone thinking that the citizens now remember the CPUs and Protectors. Everyone went into the Basilicom as the CPUs, sisters, IF, Compa, and Gold Third went to talk with Histoire, the rest went into a different room talking with Silvia.
"Congratulations everyone, thanks to your efforts you have surely defeated AffimaX." She tells them with a bright smile.
"All in a day's work! Heck if it wasn't for the help of Gold Third we might have would've been goners." Jeff says with a smirk.
"Yeah, I will agree. They helped us out after what we did for them." James says proudly.
"I was surprised when Neptune and the others obtained those new forms with Gold Third's Crystals added to the Share Crystal." Adam says
"Yea, I'm kinda jealous that the four of you even got a taste of it yourselves." Selena tells the four boys. "Adam has gotten his own power boost, he uses Demon Slayer magic. I only have two Dragon Slayer Magics in my body, it's not really an upgrade."
"That is true, but you have acquired Dragon Force before I could." Jeff says to her.
"That was only because dad lent some of his power to me once spiritually." Selena tells him. "I'm also worried… "They" haven't been around so I hope I can stay out of what happens."
"I have noticed that the sudden change from Gamindustri has returned to normal, it was because the strength of a Dragon Slayer has shattered it and restored everything to normal." Silvia explains to the group.
"So Jeff attacking and destroying the gem broke the curse upon the people." Alex says understanding.
"In all honesty I actually destroyed it so he wouldn't use it against us again. Guess I was right to destroy in both ways! Well I'm glad everything is normal again, plus we got this back." Jeff pulls out the white console with the orange swirl mark.
"You should hand that back to Histoire, it's best to be kept safe." Isaac tells him, and Jeff agrees with him. The group then went back up as Silvia watched them leave with a smile.
"Sister… this is not over yet." A voice spoke behind her. She turned to see a certain crimson haired woman in silver armor, chestplate, shoulder pads, arm guards, and boots. Her eyes are Crimson color. "I'm pretty sure you know very well."
"... Of course Aliara. The problem is how will the group react, when they see "Them"? This could possibly be their toughest challenge they ever had from what I saw." Silvia says now her expression looking serious.
"I only got a look at "her" spirit form, to think someone like that exists." Aliara explains concerned about what will happen.
